TIPP CITY

With the last opportunity to publicly endorse the district’s levy, Tipp City Exempted Village’s Superintendent Dr. John P. Kronour simply stated “No new taxes” during the board of education meeting on Monday.

On the ballot is a 9.61-mill fiveyear Emergency Levy, which replaces the district’s current two

three-year emergency levies, which were passed in 2009. The levy provides $3,690,000 per year for its general fund. The collection will begin in 2013.

The board also heard from Kathy Taylor of Tipp-Monroe Community Services. The organization also has a five-year 0.5-mill renewal levy on the ballot. Taylor thanked the school district for pro-

viding many of its programs gym and classroom space for many of its services, including its new lunch program that began two years ago. Taylor thanked the district for allowing them to use their freezer and other cafeteria space to provide more than 1,700 meals last summer to the community along with New Path Ministries and Tipp City’s Needy Basket.

According to Taylor, the TippMonroe Community services ballot issue costs a $100,000 homeowner

Army 1st Lt. Ashley White died on the front lines in southern Afghanistan last weekend, the first casualty in what the Army says is a new and vital wartime attempt to gain the trust of Afghan women.

White, like other female soldiers working with special operations teams, was brought in to do things that would be awkward or impossible for her male teammates. Frisking burqa-clad women, for example. See Page 5.

Baby saved from rubble After 48 hours, a miracle emerged from the rubble: a 2week-old baby girl brought out half-naked but alive from the wreckage of an apartment building toppled by Turkey’s devastating earthquake.

Rescue workers erupted in cheers and applause Tuesday at sight of the infant — and again hours later when her mother and grandmother were pulled out, their survival a ray of joy on an otherwise grim day.

District treasurer Joseph Smith said depending on both the district’s levy and on whether the state issue concerning collective bargaining passes or fails, he would need to revise the district’s five-year forecast in December.

Smith said the state was now making the district liable for the administration of section 403(b) plans. Smith said American

Just in time for the holidays Economic swoon has some Americans in a bad mood

NEW YORK (AP) — Americans say they feel worse about the economy than they Complete weather have since the depths of the information on Page 8.

A convicted rapist and tier III sex offender found himself in a familiar place on Monday afternoon — facing sexual molestation charges in the same courtroom he was convicted of rape in back in 2004.

Michael S. Cruea, 49, of Piqua, was released from prison in June and by September, police say he had allegedly already committed at least one sexual offense involving a 10-year-old girl.

Cruea, dressed in an orange jumpsuit, entered a plea of not guilty to a charge of gross sexual imposition, a felony of the third-degree. If convicted as charged, Cruea faces between 12 to 60 months in prison.

According to his indictment, Cruea allegedly committed the offense on Sept. 4 at a Troy residence.

A pretrial conference is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. Monday, Oct. CRUEA 31.

According to the state database for convicted sex offenders, Cruea was charged with the aggravated sexually oriented offense of rape Nov. 5, 2004.

Court officials said additional molestation charges could be filed against Cruea in the near future.

First Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Jim Bennett said that additional charges are “possibly coming.”

Cruea remains behind bars at the Miami County Jail on a $25,0000 bond.

As a tier III sex offender, Cruea must register as a sex offender routinely each year for the rest of his life in the county where he resides, works or receives an education.

October to the lowest since March 2009, reflecting the big hit that the stock market took this summer and frustration with an economic recovery that doesn’t really feel like one.

The Conference Board, a private research group, said its index of consumer sentiment came in at 39.8, down about six points from September and seven shy of what economists were expecting.

The reading is still well

above where the index stood two and a half years ago, at 26.9. But it’s not even within shouting distance of 90, what it takes to signal that the economy is on solid footing.

Economists watch consumer confidence closely because consumer spending accounts for about 70 percent of U.S. economic activity. The index measures how shoppers feel about

MISRATA, Libya (AP) — Flamboyant and grandiose in life, Moammar Gadhafi was buried in secrecy and anonymity, laid to rest in an unmarked grave before dawn in the Libyan desert that was home to his Bedouin tribal ancestors.

The burial ended the gruesome spectacle of Gadhafi’s decaying corpse on public display in a cold storage locker at a Misrata warehouse for four days after he was killed in his hometown of Sirte on Oct. 20.

The location of the brutal dictator’s grave site was not disclosed by the interim government for fear of vandalism by his foes and veneration by his die-hard supporters.

Gadhafi, 69, was buried Tuesday along with his son Muatassim and former Defense Minister Abu Bakr Younis after the

Fidelity Service contacted the district to administer and divide the plan at no cost to the district.

The board approved the company to be the administration service contractors for the plan.

The board approved a “not to exceed” contract with Roetzel and Andress with a fixed flat fee, rolling 12 months agreement.

Kronour said the contract with the firm was a win-win for the district.

According to the contract, the firm is charging the district $2,500 a month for 12 months to include legal representation for all telephone conferences, letters, emails, documents concerning

students and the Ohio Department of Education. Also, at the end of the contract, if the board’s legal fees are not above the $30,000, the overpayment will be refunded or credited to the board’s account.

The board approved all four items on the agenda, to seek bids using permanent improvement levy funds for a pick-up truck with a snow plow, a 72-passenger bus, tennis court replacement project with fencing and baseball/softball field projects including new dugouts and a press box.

Kronour said some of the funds for the softball/baseball fields would be covered by insurance due to wind damage.

The board approved participa-

business conditions, the job market and the next six months.

It came exactly two months before Christmas, with retailers preparing for the holiday shopping season, their busiest. Almost twice as many people now expect a pay cut over the next six months as expect a raise.

“If people think their income is declining, they’re not going to be inclined to spend,” said Jacob Oubina, an economist at RBC (NYSE:RY) Capital Markets.

Economists point out that consumer confidence is not as simple as a single number, though. The feelings people express about the economy do not always track how they actually spend money.

In September, for example, despite feeling bad about the economy, people increased their spending on retail goods by the most since March. More people bought new cars, a purchase people typically make when they are confident in their finances.

The percentage of Americans who plan to buy a major appliance in the next six months, such as a television or washing machine, rose to 46 percent, up from 41 percent. Exactly half plan to take a vacation in the next six months, up from 47 percent.

Marc Rosenberg, CEO of SkyBluePink Concepts, a

tion in the Dayton Area Drug Survey, administered by Wright State University.

Student participation is voluntary and there is no charge to the district.

Kronour said the survey is for students in grades 7-12 only, and only a handful of students refuse to participate.

Matthew Tarzinski was reappointed as trustee for the Tipp City Public Library to replace Bill Beagle starting January 2012. The trustee serves for seven years on the library’s board.

Sheryl Brownlee was appointed to be Tipp City Exempted Village School’s liaison to the KIT-TV board.

The board accepted $8,417 from the Tipp Foundation for a L.T. Ball fifth grade trip to Camp Kern, a fourth grade L.T. Ball trip to Sunwatch Village and for a sound field system (sound amplifier) for Broadway/Nevin Coppock.

There will be a work session of the board of education at 6 p.m.

Tuesday, Nov. 22, to discuss facility planning. Schedules and timelines for community engagement activities will be discussed with Ruetschle Architects.

Also at the work session, the board will set a meeting date and time to discuss finances. The next board of education meeting will be held at the board offices at 7 p.m. Nov. 28.

toy marketing company, said he looks for broader trends in the monthly consumer confidence numbers but doesn’t pay attention to the monthly changes.

“I think it is nice background music,” he said.

It’s still not a very happy tune. Jessica Jarmon was laid off from her job in social work in March. For the past three months, she has worked a temp job in the same industry, but that ended last week.

She has a job interview Wednesday morning, but she said it’s hard to tell whether the economy is getting better or not.

“You hear about one company creating 16,000 jobs, and then you hear about another company laying off 10,000 jobs. Maybe, at best, we are just breaking even,” said Jarmon, who lives in Philadelphia.

Mark Vitner, senior U.S. economist at Wells Fargo, said he will probably trim his forecast for holiday revenue in the retail industry based on Tuesday’s figure.

Vitner said the persistent gloomy headlines about the economy may lead people to say they feel worse about things than their own situations would suggest.

They might have a good job and stable finances, for example, but still report feeling sour.

But the decline in confidence is “too significant to get away from it,” he said.

“Consumers are losing hope that strong growth is around the corner.”

• CONTINUED FROM A1 military council in the city of Misrata ordered a reluctant Muslim cleric to say the required prayers.

Libya’s new leaders hope the funeral will allow the country to turn the page on the four-decade Gadhafi era and the bloody eight-month rebellion against him.

Still, the book cannot be closed completely, with unanswered questions remaining about his slaying, and his son and onetime heir apparent, Seif alIslam, still at large.

Under international pressure to investigate the circumstances of Gadhafi’s death, the interim leaders of the National Transitional Council issued a statement late Tuesday saying they “disapprove” of any prisoner being hurt, let alone killed. It was the first time the new leadership spoke out GADHAFI against Gadhafi’s killing.

“Regardless of the hatred that Libyans held for Moammar Gadhafi and his regime because of the suffering he inflicted, and how he soiled their reputation for four decades, we did not want to end this tyrant’s life before he was brought to court, and before he answered questions that have deprived Libyans from sleep and tormented them for years,” the statement said.

The three bodies were moved under cover of darkness late Monday by the city’s military council. They were taken from the warehouse area to a school in Misrata where suspected regime loyalists are being held, said Mohammed alMadani, a Muslim cleric and one of the detainees.

About 1:30 a.m. Tuesday, al-Madani and another detained cleric were ordered to pray over the bodies, which had been wrapped in shrouds, with their faces covered. Al-Madani told The Associated Press that he initially refused, but felt he had no choice and quickly said the required

Muslim prayers.

A Gadhafi nephew and two sons of Abu Bakr also participated in the prayer, said Ibrahim Beitalmal, a spokesman for the military council. The nephew was later identified as Abdel Rahman Abdel Hamid, son of a Gadhafi sister and in detention since trying to escape from Sirte in September.

The bodies were then put in coffins, handed over to authorities and driven to another location for burial, which took place at around 5 a.m., according to al-Madani and Beitalmal.

Libya’s interim government has said it would not reveal the location of the grave, but a Misrata official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not allowed to disclose details, said the site was in the desert.

Libya’s uprising, which began in mid-February and quickly turned into a civil war, has decimated Gadhafi’s family. Three sons Muatassim, Seif al-Arab and Khamis have been killed. Gadhafi’s wife, Safiya, fled to Algeria with their daughter Aisha and sons Hannibal and Muhammed.

A senior official in neighboring Niger said Gadhafi’s son Seif al-Islam, who is wanted by the International Criminal Court on war crimes charges for his role in trying to crush the uprising, was trying to flee there to join other regime loyalists.

The escape of the Western-educated son, once seen as a likely successor, raised the possibility of attempts to direct an insurgency against Libya’s new rulers, though it’s not clear if exiled loyalists have the drive, money and support to do so.

Rissa ag Boula, an adviser to Niger’s president, said the younger Gadhafi is getting help from ethnic Tuaregs, a tribe that was among Gadhafi’s strongest supporters. He said Seif al-Islam appeared to be poised to cross into Algeria in order to make his way to Niger.

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP The Advocate, Baton Rouge, La., on the U.N. and Syria: The failure of a sanctions resolution in the U.N. Security Council can only embolden Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad to further crack down on demonstrators.

Despite the internal tensions in American politics today, there should be commendation across the political spectrum for the United States’ backing of the resolution. U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice surely spoke for lovers of liberty everywhere in condemning the veto of the resolution by Russia and China.

Those two powers are permanent members of the Security Council, with a right of veto.

One is a semi-dictatorship that has had a close relationship with Syrian dictators since the days it was the Soviet Union.

China is an outright communist dictatorship that deplores any human rights agitation as an affront to national integrity.

Great Britain, Portugal and France compromised on language in the sanctions resolution, in an effort to get something passed, but to no avail.

“Now those facts are there for all to see,” the president held. “We would not be bringing forward a case unless we knew exactly how to support all the allegations that are contained in the indictment.”

The president pushed harder, vowing to impose the “toughest sanctions” to punish Iranian officials. Still, Republicans weren’t alone in expressing skepticism. Most striking were the number of experts who shared their doubts.

American officials nodded their heads, explaining that they, too, didn’t believe at first. So what happened?

That Iranian-American car salesman has been arraigned and faces trial.

The most plausible explanation has been offered by David Ignatius of the Washington Post and others, citing divisions within Iran, perhaps one faction triggering an operation to embarrass others.

Oh, and one other question hovers: After three decades without diplomatic relations, might actual communication between Washington and Tehran have helped in this matter?

I lost the race, but we both ended up winners “Anything you can do, I can do better. I can do anything better than you.”

“No, you can’t.”

“Yes, I can.”

Well, as much as I hate to say it “No, I can’t.”

The old mantra used in Gatorade commercials between Mia Hamm and Michael Jordan has been the running theme here at the Troy Daily News editorial office. Those who know me and those who know my father, know that I am one extremely competitive person — it’s in my blood, or sweat, whichever way you want to look at it.

Well, there has been one case of trash talking that just hasn’t stopped for about a year now between me and my co-worker, assistant sports editor Colin Foster.

Now, let me say, Colin is innately athletic and is someone I wouldn’t have even come close to sparring with two years ago, heck even 10 months ago.

However, throughout the last 10 months of continuing my new lifestyle of being active and healthy I have found new confidence in myself — so I agreed to a “war” as Executive Editor David Fong called it.

After trash talking and annoying each other in the office for a year, Fong decided to settle it all fair and square.

Katie Yantis Troy Daily News Columnist I have been running 5K races since March. I ran a 10K race and a half marathon and even though all Colin has “supposedly” been doing for the last few months is lifting weights, he would consistently critique my race times and my progress, despite the fact that I was doing it for my health while he sat there eating a frozen pizza. So, with the knowledge of his “supposed” recent activity levels, I agreed to a 2-mile race. Just he and I, mano-y-mano. Colin wouldn’t agree to any longer of a distance, saying “Why, would I do that?”

So in a matter of seconds, there was a Mia Hamm, Michael Jordan match in our own back yard. I have to say that even though I had a subconscious message of knowing that I would have to run the best run of my life to beat him, it was still fun

— John C. Califf Troy

to imagine beating him at something.

For two weeks, our trash talking picked up speed, we both started running the two miles to practice and reported back on our best runs and our runs that we were not so proud of.

In the midst of all the training, I thought I had some hope as he reported back with a 15 minute time one day. I thought whoa! I have a chance. There was one evening among the training days that I was fired up about something from the day (who knows what it was) and I ran a 14 minute 2-mile. It was the fastest I had ever run and I felt amazing afterward.

The day finally came. This past Sunday was race day. The rest of our co-workers came out to watch and we planned for a post race cookout. It was going to be a great day. Well, I got there a little early to do some “warming up” and saw my “frienemy” warming up as I drove up.

The race didn’t start out like either of two scenarios I had imagined. He started drafting me (advice from his cross country coach of a father). I didn’t like it but I dealt with it for a little bit.

Finally, I decided that if I was going to beat him, I didn’t want to beat him unless he gave it his all. So I stopped for a second and let him pass me. Well that was

my moment of doom.

I wanted to keep with him longer than I did, but it didn’t happen. Colin finished in around 12:32. I came in about three minutes after him at 15:37. He won.

Colin is a better 2-mile runner than I. He is a better sprinter than I — which is why I had to give him a crown and call him “King Colin.”

What I can still hold on to is that he has not and will not agree to a long distance run. I think I’ve got him there.

So until the day he beats me in at least (keyword there) a 6mile run, I can say “I can do that better than him.” The day he beats me at 6 miles, I will no longer agree to any competition with him and admit that he is better at pretty much every form of running there is than me.

Regardless, coming from where I have been. The fact that I took 2 minutes off of my usual 17-minute 2-mile time and I was able to even come close to keeping up with him, I call it a victory. With the progress I made for myself, physically and mentally by being an active runner, I will go ahead and bow to his victory, without disdain or sarcasm.

Good job Colin! You really did do an awesome job!

Death highlights women’s role in Special Ops teams they are starting to realize that,” says Sgt. Christine Baldwin, who like White was among the first groups of women deployed to Afghanistan this year as specially trained “cultural support” troops.

Male soldiers often cannot even speak to an Afghan woman because of the strict cultural norms that separate the sexes and the tradition of women remaining behind closed doors most of the time.

Forcing the issue has yielded only resentment, military officials say, and

has jeopardized the trust and cooperation of villagers.

From the start of the war 10 years ago, Afghans have especially resented the practice of “night raids” in which male foreign soldiers enter and search homes, the traditional sanctum of women.

“We could search the female, find out the other half of the information,” Baldwin said in an interview. “If you’re missing half of the lay of the land, how effective are you in engaging the populace?”

WASHINGTON (AP) — Army 1st Lt. Ashley White died on the front lines in southern Afghanistan last weekend, the first casualty in what the Army says is a new and vital wartime attempt to gain the trust of Afghan women.

White, like other female soldiers working with special operations teams, was brought in to do things that would be awkward or impossible for her male teammates. Frisking burqa -clad women, for example.

Her death, in a bomb explosion in the Taliban heartland of Kandahar, underscores the risks of placing women with elite U.S. special operations teams working in remote villages.

Military leaders and other female soldiers in the program say its rewards are great, even as it fuels debate over the roles of women in combat.

Tell brother it’s time for him to make things right

Today: 5 p.m.: Community Bulletin Board 6 p.m.: Around Troy 6:30 p.m.: Health and Home

Dear Annie: My eldest brother has a secret. Before he met his wife, he was married and had two children in a country that does not have divorce. This was 25 years ago. The first marriage was very rocky, and my brother left his wife while she was pregnant with their second child. He then met his current wife and moved to the U.S. His current wife doesn't know anything about the previous marriage.

The eldest son from his first wife, who was 6 when my brother abandoned him, has contacted me.

He wants to meet his father. He also is an emotional wreck because of my brother's behavior.

He says he wants to get to know his father and have closure. I don't know what to do. — Worried Sister Dear Sister: Tell your brother immediately about the contact with his son, and encourage him to make this right. While it is not your place to inform his current wife (and possibly destroy his marriage), your brother must realize that his son could easily contact another person in the family.

He should come clean before someone else does it for him.

Dear Annie: My husband insists on lounging on our corduroy sofa after he exercises. He is literally dripping with sweat, and every inch of his clothing is soaked.

I have asked him nicely to please shower first, but he gets angry and says he doesn't need to.

He insists I am overreacting. I hate to be a nag, but I am tired of damp, smelly furniture. How do I deal with this? — Stinky's Wife Dear Wife: How lovely. While your husband obviously should not place his sweaty self on your fabric furniture, he doesn't seem inclined to stop. That means you will have to make the necessary adjustments. The simplest solution is covering the corduroy sofa with sheets or towels or a washable sofa cover. But you also might consider giving him a gym membership so he can work out (and hopefully shower) elsewhere. If he works out at home, place the treadmill or other equipment in another area of the house so he is more likely to lounge on something that won't absorb so much moisture.

Dear Annie: "Young at Heart" couldn't find employment at the age of 62. You said most employers drop older workers for economic reasons.

I think the biggest single obstacle in finding a job for an older person is the question of insurability. Also, many older people feel they are worth more than the job pays. But pay is based on what that job is worth to the company, not what the applicant deems himself to be worth.

There is also a reluctance to hire people who are significantly overqualified, so applicants should focus only on the requirements for the specific job opening and stress their ability to handle it. Also, an older applicant must be prepared for the inevitable question, no matter how it is worded: If you were such an asset to your last company, why did they let you go?

My suggestion for older persons would be to sign up with an agency that supplies temporary help. The advantage for the employer is that there is no obligation for insurance or other benefits, and it allows a company to evaluate a person and make a job offer if they wish. A less attractive alternative is to market yourself as an independent contractor.

Companies seldom release a person who is doing an essential job for which a replacement would be difficult to find. Sadly, 22 years of doing the same thing does not equate to a job level of 22 years experience — nor does it provide an edge over a younger person doing the same job for the past 10 years.

In most instances, a person over age 56 would do well to understand that, odds are, if your job is lost, you have just involuntarily retired. — Retired in Florida Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

HINTS FROM HELOISE

Banana hints tend to arrive in big bunches Dear Readers: We printed an article about storing banana and asked readers to send in their hints about buying, storing and using bananas. Here are a few responses: • Renee W. in Westlake Village, Calif., says: “Instead of buying a large bunch of bananas at the same state of ripeness, I split the bunches. I have a couple close to ripe, a few semi-green and a couple pretty green, so I get perfectly ripe bananas spread out over several days.”

• Marie Bishop in Oxnard, Calif., says, “My favorite way to use too-ripe bananas is to give them to my horse as treats.”

• Debbie in Statesville, N.C., says: “Take the bananas that are

Hints from Heloise Columnist too ripe, peel and smash with the back of a fork until smooth.

Sandwich between graham crackers, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate an hour or two. The graham crackers soak up the bananas, and they taste just like pieces of banana cake.”

• Linda, via email, says: “Spread a well-ripened banana on a toasted English muffin in place

of butter. Or, slice bananas on top of vanilla ice cream and drizzle with heated hot-fudge sauce.

Yummy!”

• Agnes Miller of Marshall, Ill., says: “My local grocer places a table of bags filled with overripe bananas and reduces the price. I purchase however many bags I wish, mash the bananas with a fork and put pre-measured amounts in freezer bags to use for favorite recipes.”

• Mildred A. of Staten Island, N.Y., says: “I peel bananas and put them in the freezer. Then I dip them in melted chocolate.

Yum!” Thanks so much to all the readers who took the time to drop us a line and share their

hints. — Heloise BAGGED ESSENTIALS Dear Heloise: My husband and I frequently stay at condos when we travel so we can cook in.

My hint is to prepare a large gallon zipper bag with essentials so I don’t have to buy them once I arrive. I include a few plastic utensils, napkins, a small shaker of salt and pepper, a small bottle of olive oil, a few extra sandwich baggies, small zipper bags (like those found in craft stores for beads, etc.) with my favorite spice mixes, and perhaps three to four tea bags (for hot or iced tea). I bring this “essentials pack” on almost every trip, and it’s been a lifesaver! — Kathy from Camarillo, Calif.

ARLO AND JANIS

HOROSCOPE Wednesday, Oct. 26, 2011 That bread you cast on the waters in hopes of drawing good things to you and your loved ones will come back to you thrice over in coming months.

Those who believe in you will do what they can to help further your cause.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — You don’t want to be wasteful or foolish with any of your possessions or resources. You may have to say no to someone who is a friend but is known to have trouble handling funds.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Should you start to lose your position in a partnership arrangement, it’s time to bow out. Once it becomes onesided, it will be valueless.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — There’s a chance that an endeavor that has been rather fortunate for you is now starting to lose some of its luster. When its promise begins to outweigh what it can deliver, it’s time to call it quits.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — If you start searching for faults in others, others will suddenly examine you closely, as well. When dealing with friends or family, more tolerance and understanding is required.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Taking charge of a situation that is beginning to flounder is clearly the best thing to do, but carrying things to extremes is asking for more trouble. Recognize the difference.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — If you think you can pick apart another person’s opinion and not be challenged, you’re in for a big surprise. You’d be smart to simply accept what others have to say.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Don’t leave something in the hands of another that, if handled poorly, could cost you a bundle of money. Indifference to this matter will have you paying the proverbial piper.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — More strain than usual could arise in a valued relationship over an issue that each party believes affects him or her personally. Both of you will be more protective than cooperative.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Unless you have a good attitude about your work, it isn’t likely you’ll do a good job.

The end result of an assignment you resent doing will reflect your malice.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Instead of trying to be the center of attention or making sure the spotlight’s centered on you, relax and let your friends showboat a bit. They will like you more if you give them a chance to strut their stuff.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — If everything turns out great, you could be the first one to step up and take a bow.

Conversely, if things go wrong, you’re likely to be the first one pointing a finger.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Do not embellish the facts about what you’ve accomplished recently just because you’re in the presence of a known achiever. It’s likely to produce the opposite impression of the one you’d like to make.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Wednesday, Oct. 26, the 299th day of 2011.

There are 66 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 26, 1861, the legendary Pony Express officially ceased operations, giving way to the transcontinental telegraph. (The last run of the Pony Express was completed the following month.)

On this date: • In 1774, the First

Continental Congress adjourned in Philadelphia.

• In 1825, the Erie Canal opened in upstate New York, connecting Lake Erie and the Hudson River.

• In 1881, the “Gunfight at the O.K. Corral” took place in Tombstone, Ariz.

• In 1911, “The Queen of Gospel,” singer and civil rights activist Mahalia Jackson, was born in New Orleans.

• In 1942, Japanese planes badly damaged the aircraft carri-

er USS Hornet in the Battle of Santa Cruz Islands during World War II. (The Hornet sank early the next morning.)

• In 1958, Pan American Airways flew its first Boeing (NYSE:BA) 707 jetliner from New York to Paris in 8 hours and 41 minutes.

• Today’s Birthdays: Former Sen. Edward Brooke III, RMass., is 92. Actress Shelley Morrison is 75. Actor Bob Hoskins is 69. Author Pat Conroy is 66.

Miracle baby emerges from Turkish quake rubble aftershock ignited widespread panic that turned into a prison riot in a nearby provincial city.

With thousands of quake survivors facing a third night out in the open in near-freezing temperatures, Turkey set aside its national pride and said it would accept international aid offers, even from Israel, with which it has had strained relations.

Tuesday’s dramatic rescue of three generations of one family was all the more remarkable because the infant, Azra Karaduman, was declared healthy after being flown to a hospital in Ankara, the Turkish capital.

Television footage

showed rescuer Kadir Direk in an orange jumpsuit wriggling into a narrow slit in the pile of concrete and metal, then sliding back out with Azra, clad only in a T-shirt.

“Praise be!” someone shouted. “Get out of the way!” another yelled as the aid team and bystanders cleared a path to a waiting ambulance.

“Bringing them out is such happiness. I wouldn’t be happier if they gave me tons of money,” said rescuer Oytun Gulpinar.

The pockets of jubilation were tempered by many more discoveries of bodies by thousands of aid workers in the worst-hit city of Ercis and other communi-

have rattled the area, according to Turkey’s Kandilli seismology center.

A strong one on Tuesday sent residents rushing into the streets in panic while sparking a riot by prisoners in the city of Van, 55 miles (90 kilometers) south of Ercis. The U.S. Geological Survey put that temblor at a magnitude of 5.7.

Some prisoners demanded to be let out while others set bedding on fire as the revolt spread inside the 1,000-bed prison, the Dogan news agency reported. Security forces surrounded the facility to try to prevent escapes, while military vehicles fired water cannon at crowds gathered outside in the streets.

There was still no power or running water in the region, and desperate people stopped trucks even before they entered Ercis, grabbing tents and other supplies. Kanal D television showed people fighting over tents and blankets.

Aid workers said they were able to find emergency housing for only about half the thousands of people who needed it.

Turkey decided to accept offers of assistance after its emergency management authorities decided that thousands of survivors would need prefabricated homes to get through the winter in the mountainous region, said a Turkish Foreign Ministry official, speaking on condition of anonymity in line with ministry rules.

ERCIS, Turkey (AP) — After 48 hours, a miracle emerged from the rubble: a 2-week-old baby girl brought out half-naked but alive from the wreckage of an apartment building toppled by Turkey’s devastating earthquake.

Rescue workers erupted in cheers and applause Tuesday at sight of the infant — and again hours later when her mother and grandmother were pulled out, their survival a ray of joy on an otherwise grim day.

FOR HEAT SURGE LLC 8000 FREEDOM AVE., N. CANTON OH 44720

Public lines up for new low-cost appliance that slashes heat bills Amish craftsmen vow to keep up with rush for brand-new Hybrid-Thermic™ ‘Miracle Heater’ that uses about the same energy as a coffee maker per hour, so just plug it in and never be cold again |e5 k}qiyr }, t}qyk gRWH[NL`T p[\W` iER\W^`K[

■ GOTTA HAVE ONE: People are flocking to Sears to get the brand-new Heat Surge HT L.E.D. An eager crowd remained respectful as Jonas Miller directs the first deliveries. “I heard so much about the Amish Miracle Heater but couldn’t find where to get one,” an excited Mary Straughn said. That’s why a National Appliance Hotline has been set up for today’s readers who can’t rush out to get one. Readers who call the Hotline at 1-888-414-3620 will get free delivery and an extraordinary 2-Day Double Coupon that has been reprinted below.

■ SAFE: The beautiful Fireless Flame on the new Heat Surge HT L.E.D. is so ■ BLANKET FREE COMFORT: “We just couldn’t take another winter of stunning, everyone thinks it’s real, but it’s actually safe to the touch. It’s so always being cold. And as an early Christmas gift, we got one for the kids to safe, it’s where the kids will play & the pets will sleep. help them with their heat bills,” Julia White said.

How It Works: You get 74º of bone-soothing room heat even when the home thermostat is turned down to 59º with the first-ever Heat Surge HT L.E.D.

■ MODERN MARVEL: The revolutionary Heat Surge HT L.E.D. micro-furnace fits in any room because it’s packed inside a small Amish-built cabinet that measures just 25” high, 32” wide, and 12” deep.

This is the revolutionary Heat Surge HT L.E.D., the first-ever appliance with HybridThermic™ heat technology. Hybrid-Thermic heat is an engineering genius so advanced, it actually uses a micro-furnace from the Coast of China and a thermal heat exchanger to perform its miracles. The thermal heat exchanger acts like the rays of the sun to heat you, the kids, the pets and everything else. The micro-furnace then heats all the surrounding air.

Together, this Hybrid-Thermic heat warms both you and the air around you, taking care of all the cold spots. In fact, it actually produces Ortho-Thermic™, bone-soothing heat.

This modern marvel uses just a trickle of electricity and saves you money based on a U.S. average that says it uses only about 9¢ of electricity an hour on the standard setting, yet it produces up to an amazing 4,606 British Thermal Units (BTU’s) on the high setting.

But here’s the big surprise. It’s not just a metal box that belongs in a basement. The Heat Surge HT L.E.D. is a showHome thermostat set at 59º piece in any room. That’s because it has the ambiance of a real fireplace, but it has no real flames. Its Fireless Flame® technology makes it safe to the touch.

The portable Heat Surge HT L.E.D. comes installed in a genuine Amish-built wood cabinet made in the heartland of Ohio. They are hand-rubbed, stained, and varnished. When it arrives, Notice how the home thermostat is set at 59º. The left shows all you do is just plug it in.

the Heat Surge Hybrid-Thermic ‘Miracle Heater’ blanketing the whole-room with 74º of warmth.

An avalanche of unsolicited consumer reviews gives the company the reason to boast an overwhelming Consumer ‘Best Buy’ on the HeatReport.com website. Consumers should be aware of the fakes out there. This Hybrid-Thermic ‘Miracle Heater’ can never be found at WalMart®, not at Lowe’s®, not at Home Depot®, and none of the Club Stores. “Accept no imitations. If it does not have the Heat Surge name on it, it is not real Amish and it is not Hybrid-Thermic™. I repeat, if it does not have the Heat Surge name on it, you are getting ripped off,” said Heat Surge Chief Compliance Officer, Bob Knowles. The Heat Surge has earned the coveted Underwriters Laboratories certification and is protected by a limited full year replacement or money back warranty and 30-day Satisfaction Guarantee.

(UMS) – Everyone hates high heat bills. But we’re all sick and tired of turning the thermostat down and freezing our buns off.

That’s why Sears knew they had a home-run on their hands with the first-ever low-cost appliance with Hybrid-Thermic™ heat technology. And no other heater anywhere has it.

The brand-new portable Heat Surge HT L.E.D. sips so little energy, you can run it all day or all night for just about a buck.

This modern marvel, hailed as the ‘Miracle Heater,’ caused such a frenzy at Sears stores, one shopper refused to leave until she got one. Since there were none in stock, store managers were forced to hand over the store’s only floor model, against store policy.

So today, immediate action is being taken to give more people, more ways to get them.

Beginning at 8:30 a.m., today’s readers are allowed to phone in or snag one online. Heat Surge even posted a 2-Day Double Coupon which has been reprinted on this page for today’s readers to use.

By using this coupon, everyone who calls is being rewarded with $198. That makes this remarkable new home appliance a real steal at just $398. The Double Coupon Deal also entitles you to free home delivery. So now everyone has a fair shot at getting one.

“Folks are saving money everywhere with the new Heat Surge HT L.E.D.,” said Kris Rumel, the analyst tracking the impact Heat Surge is having on consumer heat bills.

This all started when Sears wanted the world-famous ‘Amish Miracle Heater’ that everyone was asking for.

The shy but now famous Amish craftsman said Sears made the most sense. “I’d reckon they’re the oldest and most trusted in the country,” one of the Amish craftsmen known as Melvin said.

“We’ve been saving folks money, big money. And we know it because we’re hearin’ about it,” he said.

“They know about our quality.

No particle board, just real wood.

Fully-assembled cabinets by our hands and we’re making them right here in the good ole USA,” Melvin said.

Director of Technology David Martin explained, “The Heat Surge HT L.E.D. is a revolutionary appliance that can easily roll from room to room. But we didn’t want it to look like some metal box that just sits there. So we turned to our Amish craftsmen and now each one is made to look like a sleek, slim fireplace that has no real flames.”

“The peaceful flicker of the ‘Fireless Flame’ is so beautiful, everyone thinks it’s real, but it’s totally safe to the touch. All you do is just plug it in,” Martin said.

People from Maine to Mississippi and even Florida and Arizona are flocking to get them because they are finally able to give their central heat a rest during this long, frigid winter.

According to the avalanche of consumer reviews, people absolutely swear by them, repeatedly saying, “it saves money,” “looks beautiful,” and “keeps you warm head to toe, floor to ceiling.” And the word is getting out. That’s why people are clamoring to get them.

But Martin said right now the real problem is making sure the Amish craftsmen can keep up with the looming Christmas rush.

That’s why the Double Coupon expires in two days.

So for readers hoping to get the new Heat Surge for themselves and take care of Christmas gifts for others, there is good news.

You can use the 2-Day Double Coupon more than once. But there is a catch. You can only get away with it for the next two days from the date of today’s publication by calling the National Appliance Center at 1-888-414-3620.

Then, when it arrives, you’ll be rushing to turn down that thermostat. Just plug it in, watch your heat bills hit rock bottom, and never be cold again. ■

Eagles, Vikings win sectional titles Staff Reports

MIAMI COUNTY

FAIRBORN — No one expected much from the Troy Christian Eagles — who won four games last year — before the season began.

Even the team itself tempered its expectations.

And then blew them out of the water.

The Eagles took control early and never let go Monday night at Fairborn High School, preserving their unbeaten record and continuing their tournament run by cap-

turing a Division III Sectional championship with a 4-1 victory over Anna.

The win made Troy Christian 15-0-3 on the season and put the Eagles in the district title game Thursday night at Northmont against Fenwick.

“We set a goal at the beginning of the season to win seven games,” Troy Christian coach Brian Peters said. “We didn’t want to be overly aggressive. Seven wins would have

been a huge improvement over last season. Obviously, we’ve exceeded our expectations by far.

“Being a faith-based school, that’s part of who we are. We have great talent, but we truly believe that we’ve been given a gift. The girls started training in June, and every single girl has been there every day since.”

And the Eagles have had to overcome plenty of adversity to get there, too.

“We started the season with 14 girls, then we had a torn ACL 20

All of that pain, disappointment and heartbreak? Gone.

Long forgotten.

PIQUA — Tippecanoe knew it’d have to pull out all the stops to get the ball past Bellefontaine’s goalkeeper Tuesday night.

Challenge accepted.

Logan Niswonger scored a pair of goals and Darius Appora and Liam Whitworth each added one, all unassisted, and the Red Devil defense blanked the Chieftains for the second time this season — only this time it was for the Division II Sectional championship in a 4-0 Tippecanoe victory Tuesday night in Piqua.

Tippecanoe had shut out Bellefontaine 2-0 earlier in the season.

“They have a good goalkeeper, and we knew we’d have to work for it,” Tippecanoe coach Scott Downing said. “They have a dangerous forward, too, and our defense played really well and held them scoreless for the second time.”

MIAMI COUNTY Nisonger put the first one in on a deflected cross, then Appora blasted a left-footer from 20 yards out.

Whitworth then blocked a defensive clear attempt by Bellefontaine into the net, then Niswonger had maybe the most impressive of the night, hooking in a corner kick.

Tippecanoe (14-4-1) faces Indian Hill — an opponent the Devils are familiar with already — or Wyoming Saturday at Monroe High School in its annual trip to the district title game.

Big Ten race wide open after Wisconsin loss

By The Associated Press

LaRussa taking blame for foulup Bobby Valentine thought about the bizarre events he had seen in Game 5 of the World Series, when 19th-century technology fouled up Tony La Russa and the St. Louis Cardinals.

“It’s kind of stupid, isn’t it?” said Valentine, who’s managed more than 2,000 major league ballgames.

See Page 14.

Wisconsin was looking like the Big Ten’s best bet in the BCS championship race. Now, the conference appears to be looking in from the outside.

The Badgers tumbled eight spots to No. 12 in the AP poll after losing 37-31 to Michigan State on a 44-yard touchdown pass at the end of Saturday’s game, leaving the Big Ten with no undefeated teams.

Ohio State coach Luke Fickell

insisted a team from the league can still make the BCS title game.

“I think you’re going to see the balance of this conference,” he said Tuesday. “It’s happened several times here in the past few years, and there’s a good chance it could happen again this year. It’s a part of the game.

It’s a part of showing there’s a lot of great teams in this league.”

Other than the 2006 and 2007 Ohio State teams under

Jim Tressel, no conference program has played in the BCS title game, and the Buckeyes got blown out by Florida and LSU. The Big Ten has been a spectator since then and the picture isn’t promising at the moment.

With byes this week, No. 1 LSU and No. 2 Alabama will go into their showdown Nov. 5 in Tuscaloosa with perfect records and almost certainly as the nation’s top two teams. The next four teams in the AP poll Oklahoma State, Stanford, Boise

State and Clemson are all unbeaten. So are No. 10 Kansas State and No. 18 Houston.

Michigan State is the highest-ranked Big Ten team in the BCS standings at No. 11. The Badgers are No. 15, Michigan is No. 18 and Penn State is 19th.

So the Big Ten will probably need some help.

Don’t forget, though, that it now has a title game. That could provide a boost in a year where everyone in the conference has at least one loss.

Failure to communicate In high-tech age, ‘phone foulup’ costs Cardinals dearly ST. LOUIS (AP) — Bobby Valentine thought about the bizarre events he had seen in Game 5 of the World Series, when 19th-century technology fouled up Tony La Russa and the St. Louis Cardinals.

“It’s kind of stupid, isn’t it?” said Valentine, who’s managed more than 2,000 major league ballgames.

In the age of email, texting, iChat and Skype, baseball remains tied to the traditions established in the Civil War era of flannel uniforms. La Russa conveyed his decisions to the bullpen with a device born the same year as the National League: the telephone.

And when the instructions didn’t get through to bullpen coach Derek Lilliquist twice! baseball lore was made with the Cardinals’ 4-2 loss to the Texas Rangers on Monday night, a game that will be forever known as the “Phone Foulup.”

Now St. Louis is trailing 3-2 in the Series and must win two in a row for the title.

“It’s amazing,” said baseball historian Keith Olbermann, a commentator on Current TV. “With all this technology here, they can’t get a phone call completed from one part of the building to another part of the building? You go to an Apple store, the communications device the salesman is carrying is capable of launching a nuclear device. It’s mindboggling.”

For all the high-tech scoreboards in each ballpark and computers in each clubhouse that track every pitch, decisions on which relievers to warm up are passed along on Alexander Graham Bell’s invention of 1876. While there were 328 million

IndyCar CEO facing scrutiny after Dan Wheldon’s death AP PHOTO

The visiting team’s dugout phone to the bullpen is shown after Game 5 of the World Series between the St. Louis Cardinals and Texas Rangers in Arlington, Texas. Cardinals manager Tony La Russa is taking full responsibility for the bullpen phone mix-up that dearly cost the Cardinals Monday night. wireless devices in the U.S. as of June, according to CTIA-The Wireless Association, baseball sticks with land lines, of which there are 114 million.

And because of that, the World Series rings fans talking about were Tuesday had nothing to do with the shiny ones on players’ fingers, but rather old-fashionedthe sounding bells that sound off on bullpen phones.

After the game, with Rangers Ballpark nearly empty, the bullpen phone 400 or so feet away could be heard ringing when the narrow black handset with the gray pushbuttons was picked up in the visitors dugout on the third-base side. But with a crowd of 51,459 a few hours earlier, an unbelievable meltdown occurred.

With the score 2-all, right-hander Octavio Dotel replaced Chris Carpenter to start the eighth inning and Michael Young doubled. Adrian Beltre struck

out and Nelson Cruz was intentionally walked.

La Russa said he had told Lilliquist to have the left-hander Marc Rzepczynski and righthander Jason Motte warm up, but Lilliquist only heard “Rzepczynski” La Russa now thinks Lilliquist may have hung up after hearing the first name.

Going by the numbers (lefties hit .163 off Rzepczynski during the regular season and righties batted .275), La Russa brought in Rzepczynski to face lefty David Murphy.

Murphy hit a comebacker that could have become an inning-ending double play, but instead deflected off the reliever’s bare hand for an infield single that loaded the bases and caused La Russa’s head to snap back in shock. Then La Russa noticed that Motte was not warming up, and he called the bullpen again to have his closer start throwing.

But Lilliquist said he thought he heard “Lynn,” for right-hander Lance Lynn, who was supposed to be resting after throwing 47 pitches in Game 3.

With Motte (.162 vs. righties and .270 vs. lefties) still not warming up, La Russa left Rzepczynski in to face Mike Napoli, who sent a slider into the rightcenter gap for a two-run double.

Puzzled Cardinals fans Tuesday might have been thinking of the famous line from “Cool Hand Luke” “What we’ve got here is a failure to communicate.”

“I said, man, this is stuff that I hope happens on a Wednesday game on the road someplace that nobody is there. Then of course it wouldn’t have happened that way,” La Russa recalled. “The phones are preventable.

It’s my fault for not handling it better and making sure. All I had to do was look in the bullpen repeat to make sure.”

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Randy Bernard knows there are people who blame him for Dan Wheldon’s death, who say the IndyCar CEO pushed the series over the edge.

In the 24 hours after the two-time Indianapolis 500 winner was killed in a fiery 15-car accident in the season finale, Bernard wondered if perhaps all the hate mail accusing him of sacrificing safety for the show was right.

“The last week was probably the most horrific week of my life,” Bernard told The Associated Press in an exclusive interview.

It’s been open season on Bernard since the accident, and his silence all last week only intensified the scrutiny on his leadership of the open-wheel series.

Now, nine days later, Bernard is able to publicly talk about Wheldon and the day all his work toward building a spectacular finale went terribly wrong minutes into the race. He still becomes emotional about it, taking a deep breath in his office at IndyCar headquarters as he recalls the controversial decision to cancel the race.

Bernard is focused on moving forward and helping IndyCar through this dark period. He says he never once considered resigning but admits IndyCar is now “in crisis, and we have to get answers.”

“In tough times, that’s when you have to be focused,” Bernard said.

“You have to lead, and I know this is a time I have to make sure I am going to be very decisive, very articulate and be a leader. In tough times is where you

build your character; it’s not in good times.”

The second-year CEO was hired to revitalize the series despite no auto racing experience, and that’s contributing to blaming Bernard for creating the circumstances that led to Wheldon’s death.

He allowed a seasonhigh 34 cars on a highbanked oval, where a field of mixed experience levels had enough room to race three-wide at over 220 mph around Las Vegas Motor Speedway. And he offered a jobless Wheldon the chance to earn a $5 million bonus if he could drive from the back of the field to Victory Lane.

All those elements created a buzz around the race, where Dario Franchitti and Will Power would end their championship battle and superstar Danica Patrick would run her final event as a full-time IndyCar driver. It was everything Bernard had been hired to do when IndyCar lured him away after running Professional Bull Riders for 15 years.

He was so confident of improving on the poor TV ratings from the year before that he promised to resign if ABC’s broadcast drew anything less than a 0.8 rating. That would have meant that fewer than 1 percent of the nation’s homes with televisions watched the race.

Bernard insists he did not sensationalize the inherent danger in auto racing.

“I think anytime we are on any track it’s always dangerous we do as much as we can to make it safe (and) our storylines were never, ‘Come watch this dangerous event!’” he said.

Champs ■ CONTINUED FROM 13

Troy’s Leah Soutar plays a ball in the air Monday against Sidney.

■ CONTINUED FROM 13 and we came out with everything we had,” said Troy’s Cierra Sutherland, who scored less than two minutes against Sidney in to give Troy an early lead.

“It just showed that records don’t matter. Same with tonight. It shows what happened before doesn’t matter.

“We played awesome as a team and won when it counted most.”

“We’ve had our ups and downs this year, but we’re playing well at the right time,” first-year Troy coach Mike Rasey said. “Last time, we outshot them by a lot and lost, so it was kind of a reversal of that game.

They outshot us 15-12 tonight, but that just shows you have to have the right breaks.”

And that first break came with only 1:55 off the clock.

Troy drew a free kick outside the Sidney box, and Sutherland sent it in front of the goal with a trio of teammates charging in and the keeper coming out to intercept. But it glance off the goalie instead and went in, and Troy was up 1-0.

“In a big game like this, to get a goal in the first two minutes, I was so happy,” said Sutherland, who didn’t even know she had been credited with the score until after the game.

“It showed Sidney that we came to play this time.”

But one goal wasn’t going to be enough this time.

With 21:18 left in the half on a fluke play, a long pass took a big hop on the Centerville turf and hit a Troy defender’s hand in the box, and Sidney’s Monique Hanayik dumped it in to even the score.

“The way we’ve been playing, we could’ve gotten on a roll after that first goal,” Rasey said. “But we seemed to become comfortable and didn’t take that

Particularly through the first half, we played timid at times. It was almost like we were losing.

“At this stage in the season, though, it’s survive and advance.”

Sutherland set up for another free kick from the exact same spot as the first time, only this time she sent in a shot that hit the crossbar — and dropped right onto the waiting foot of Maci Wadsworth, who stuffed in the rebound to give the lead back to the Trojans with 13:51 to go in the half.

“After that, I thought we had the game in hand,” Wadsworth said. “I was just so excited. I usually miss those when I get a chance at them.”

Sidney’s Lauren Elmore forced Troy keeper Mackenzie Schulz to make a jumping save on a shot late in the half, but it remained 2-1 at the break.

And early in the second half, Elmore again fired off a shot from the edge — but this time Schulz dove to her side to swat it away.

After Sidney’s keeper made a stop on a breakaway by Ashley Rector, Schulz matched that effort, too, breaking off her line and booting away a Sidney breakaway attempt before a shot could be taken.

“Mackenzie had a good game,” Rasey said. “That breakaway save was huge, and she had a diving save, too. In a game like this, you have to make that save. She did exactly what she needed to do at that

Roundup ■ CONTINUED FROM 13 Christian 7-0 Tuesday at Franklin High School.

Last season, the Indians lost to Springfield Catholic Central.

“This was the second year in a row we’ve been to the sectional final, so we can’t complain about that.

I just wish one of these years, it would turn the other way,” Newton coach Brent Hodges said with a laugh.

Still, the Indians finished the season 11-6-2,

competed for the Cross County Conference title — and Hodges won his 100th game with the team.

“We had a great year,” Hodges said.

Bethel-Waynesville Due to an early press deadline, the results from the Bethel-Waynesville sectional championship game was not available at time of press.

And that was the last chance the Troy defense would give Sidney (12-5-2).

“Kasey Copas has moved to the back, and she’s taken charge,” Rasey said. “She’s doing a great job. We’ve held two highscoring teams in a row in check now.”

Troy controlled the final 20 minutes of the

Wednesday, October 26, 2011

game, keeping Sidney pinned back in its own end. And with 5:47 to go, Kina Sekito crossed the ball to Madison Burchfield, who stopped, spun to get an open shot and ripped it in with her left foot to give the Trojans all the insurance they’d need.

And a second helping of revenge in as many games.

Curtis, then Jordanne Varvel scored on a feed from Lauren Peters.

Peters then scored the next two goals — one on an assist from Curtis and the last on an assist from Morgan Haddad. Keeper Karly Riviello was a brick wall, stuffing 15 of the 16 shots that came her way.

But now the Eagles face their biggest test in Fenwick — which was ranked No. 6 in the state in D-III in the final poll of the season.

“Fenwick has a phenomenal team — plus they’ve got a full roster and a JV team.

They’ve got a deeper pool to draw from,” Peters said.

“Obviously, we’re going to have our hands full, but I think we have a chance.

We’re going to give them a run for it.

“The girls asked me if I was coaching a full team of 18 players against a team of 11 — and that team continued to win — how I’d feel. I think it’s all a testament to our girls and how hard they work. They’ve worked hard to get where we are.”

ME 2, Lehman 0 BRANDT — For the first time since 1998, Miami East will play in the district finals.

The Vikings (13-3-2) held off Lehman for a 2-0 win in the Division III Sectional final on Monday night at Bethel High School — in a rematch of a game Miami East had lost 1-0 little more than a week prior.

“We played Lehman nine days ago and lost that one,” Miami East coach Lil Carson said. “Obviously, I was a little disappointed in the result.

But I figured we would be getting another shot at them in the tournament, and that was the one that mattered.

So I didn’t dwell on it. But I did make the girls watch about 20 minutes of the game film from the first time we played them.”

And East knew what to expect. Though Sarah Titterington did not play for Lehman in the first meeting, the Vikings were prepared for her this time. Chelsea Sherman switched from her usual position so that she could mark Titterington, while Anna Snyder marked the Cavaliers’ top forward, Abby Ciriegio.

“Sarah has a lot of speed and is leading their team on assists. A lot of their offense

runs through her,” Carson said. “And Sherman did a very good job of taking her out of that equation. Anna is always solid on defense. But she stepped up big and really shut down Ciriegio.”

Offensively, the Vikings got on the board a mere 4:16 into the game. Lindsey Roeth chased one to the endline that she dropped back across the goal mouth. It slipped past a Lehman defender to the foot of Taylor Mitchell, who calmly placed it back in the opposite direction, making it hard on Lehman’s keeper to get back to it.

Lehman got its best chance with 25:31 left until the break, but East keeper Kelly Rindler made a big save that kept Lehman from tying things up. To start the second half, though, Lehman kept possession and took it straight to the goal and got a shot off, but it was wide of the mark.

“We weren’t quite ready to start the second half,” Carson said. “Lehman getting so close right off the bat was a bit of a wake-up call, though. Our intensity level really picked up, and we ended up only allowing a few shots the second half.”

After the scare to start the half, the Vikings got an insurance goal 5:28 in. They won the ball in the midfield and dropped it to sweeper Stevee Hazel. Hazel sent one back up the middle to Kendra Beckman, who deflected it past a Lehman defender and into the path of Sherman. Sherman onetouched it into the back of the net.

Less than 10 minutes left to play, Rindler came up big again as she made a diving save that would have allowed Lehman back in it.

As it was, she finished the game with 7 saves and her 13th shutout of the season.

She and the team tied the school record for shutouts in a season. That record was set in 1995 — when Carson was a senior on the team.

“Kelly was huge again tonight. I can’t say enough about her,” Carson said. “It’s difficult to keep sharp when you don’t see the ball much, even more so when it is cold out. But she has been solid for us back there.”

The Vikings face Springfield Catholic Central in the district final Thursday at Wayne.
