Candidates answer questions

BY MELANIE YINGST Staff Writer myingst@tdnpublishing.com

The nuns are at it again in Tipp The women of St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Tipp City are at it again. The crew is taking the stage Saturday and Sunday to offer side-splitting laughter as they raise money for the youth of the church.

The group of ladies that presented the dinner theater show “Nunsense” last year as a fundraiser for the youth group and St. Vincent Hospital, are following up last year’s show with the next show in the series, “Nunsense II, The Second Coming.”

Hurricane Rina weakens Hurricane Rina weakened to a tropical storm Thursday after many tourists had already abandoned Cancun and other Caribbean resorts ahead of what once threatened to be a Category 3 storm.

Rina was forecast to be near or over Mexico’s most popular tourist destinations of Cancun, Cozumel and the Riviera Maya early today before curving back out to sea.

More than 150 people tuned in to see and hear how candidates for city council, law director, auditor and school board addressed the issues at the Leadership Troy’s annual Meet the Candidates night forum at Troy Junior High Thursday.

It wasn’t “Thee with the most

TROY campaign signs wins or loses” in terms of Troy’s city law director position, as the four candidates — all independent, non-party affiliated candidates — answered one of the most asked questions of the night: “What does a law director do?”

Independent candidate for Troy’s city law director David

Beitzel kicked off his remarks by answering that very question.

“It’s the city’s attorney and their job is to advise council and city officials of its decision they are making,” Beitzel said, adding that the position also appoints the municipal prosecutor. Beitzel rattled off his other qualifications, including legal adviser for the cities of Akron, Oakwood, Miamisburg, Centerville, Beavercreek, Huber Heights and

Dayton.

In Beitzel’s closing remarks, he pledged to ensure that the appointed municipal prosecutor would work the full hours “which is not the case right now,” and promised to make the law director’s position more fiscally transparent.

Robert Harrelson said the city’s law director position should not be • See CANDIDATES on Page 2

Hobart Bravo dies Contributor to community remembered

BY MELANIE YINGST Staff Writer myingst@tdnpublishing.com Their job is to serve and protect Miami County’s young and old — including a 21-year tradition to arm young children against the cold.

Celebrating its 21st anniversary, Miami County Sheriff’s Office geared up for its annual Operation Cover-Up Thursday as boxes and bags of coats from local schoolsl came pouring in to the Miami County Fairgrounds.

The Miami County Sheriff’s Office will be distributing children’s coats at the Miami County Fairgrounds Shop and Crop Building from 9-11 a.m. Saturday.

“It’s first come, firstserve and the people just line up all the way out the door,” said Rena Gumerlock, Miami County Sheriff’s Office administrative assistant. “We ran out of coats last year actually.”

Local school districts around the county held coat-drives for the annual distribution for those in need. Lehman Catholic High School senior Joe Vondenhuevel helped haul in several large boxes of coats for the annual event.

“We have about 200 new

MIAMI COUNTY coats and some from school,” Vondenhuevel said.

Vondenhuevel said he was able to get 200 new coats from Holloway Sportswear located in Sidney.

“It feels good to give back to people less fortunate,” he said after helping

his assistant principal Jake Johnson carry in the boxes their school collected.

Gumerlock said she expects the number of children to exceed the number of coats available as it has in years past.

“There’s a lot of folks in need of a warm coat — we try to help as many as we can each year,” she said.

Sunset Cleaners of Troy donated its services for the cleaning of all donated coats and to all who donated coats.

Vet files injunction for exotic birds Sheriff’s office says criminal investigation near completion

BY MELODY VALLIEU Staff Writer vallieu@tdnpublishing.com

While the “Troy parrots” that left for their new home in Florida just shy of two months ago are Today Partly cloudy doing well, the future of the 10 High: 52° birds still in Ohio remains in Low: 33° limbo.

The Miami County Humane Saturday Society — since the beginning of Partly cloudy August — had been investigating High: 50° the case where several dozen exotLow: 35° ic birds were found — some dead, some living in unsatisfactory conComplete weather ditions in the unoccupied house. In information on Page 9. early August, at least 10 birds were removed from Daniel Home Delivery: Ratcliff ’s property in Union 335-5634 Township by the Miami Valley Classified Advertising: Bird and Rescue Club and taken (877) 844-8385 into the care of Dr. Daniel Brauer at the South Dayton Veterinary Clinic in Kettering, where they remain.

On Sept. 6, 16 other birds on 6 74825 22406 6

Ratcliff ’s property were turned over to a Florida-based sanctuary where they will live out their days, according to Debbie Huckaby, fund raising director of the Florida Exotic Bird Sanctuary of Tampa, Fla. Ratcliff — with the help of legal counsel — r e l i n TROY quished his rights to the 16 birds just prior to the sanctuary removing the birds from a pole barn at 4103 W. State Route 55 where they had been relocated in mid-August with the help of the Miami County Humane Society.

The Miami County Humane Society has since closed its case.

On Tuesday, an injunction was filed in Montgomery County Common Pleas Court, Civil Division, asking that the South

Birds spreading their wings in Florida In Florida, the rescued birds are progressing in both their health and social skills, according to Debbie Huckaby, fund raising director of the Florida Exotic Bird Sanctuary of Tampa, Fla. Huckaby, who picked the birds up in Union Township, said the 16 birds, which include 12 macaws, one each of a bare-eyed cockatoo, African grey, white-eyed conure and an Indian ringneck parakeet, remain quarantined in large cages at a separate facility from the general population. She said a normal quarantine period is generally 60-90 days.

“We hope to be able to release them in the next few weeks,” Huckaby said. “Our avian vet is very pleased with their progress and so far they are relatively healthy.”

Huckaby said because of the birds’ previous living situation, the birds continue to need individual work on their social skills. She

said she does not want to release them into a free-flying area too soon and take a chance on them getting hurt or being too scared to get to the food or water bowls.

“Some of them are still rather cautious around people. It will take some time for some of them to trust humans again,” Huckaby said. “I am able to handle a few of them and they snuggle with me.”

Huckaby said when the criminal case is closed on the birds housed at the South Dayton Veterinary Clinic in Kettering, she hopes to also bring those birds to the Florida sanctuary.

“We are still hoping that the remainder of the flock can join their friends in Florida and we plan to dedicate an entire flight to ‘The Troy Angels,’” Huckaby said.

“They will have 3,000 square feet of free-flying room and can ‘just be a bird.’ They will be provided with

row” the block from West Water Street to the Public Square with the intent toward a more aesthetically historic representation of downtown Troy.

Notably, Mrs. Bravo and her husband also gave the $1 million seed money and ultimately helped raise more than $2 million to renovate Hobart Arena, which had been donated by the Hobart family in 1950. The renovated facility reopened on its 50th anniversary — in 2000 — with a new air conditioning system, flooring, paint, sound system and more.

“I want to give her a lot of credit for the renovation of Hobart Arena,” said family friend and former Troy Mayor Peter E. Jenkins.

“I really respected her and her willingness to update the building.

Because of that, the building has continued to flourish following the renovations and Ken Siler’s work through the city to bring in new performers and events.”

Jenkins’ father, Clayton, worked

at Hobart Brothers for 49 years and oversaw Hobart Arena — and Jenkins said he got to know many of the Hobart family members, including Lucia, over the years.

“I have nothing but good things to say about her,” said Jenkins, who gave Mrs. Bravo the Key to the City of Troy for her efforts with the arena.

Joan Heidelberg, who served as a director at Brukner Nature Center from 1973-1996, agrees with Jenkins. She said Mrs. Bravo served as the center’s board president for several years in the early 1990s.

“I think she was a great community leader and a great asset to the nature center,” said Heidelberg, who said she worked with her on a successful wildflower project along Troy’s interstate intersections. “She was very helpful in getting and helping to write grants.”

Heidelberg said she also was a good friend.

“She was very warm and friendly. Anytime I had concerns, either

personally or with the nature center, she was always available to talk with you,” Heidelberg said.

“She was a good person.”

Mrs. Bravo also was involved locally in the Troy Country Workshop Artists, Overfield Tavern Museum, American Red Cross, Miami County Mental Health Board, Family Abuse Center, Troy Historic Society (charter member), Historic Troy (codeveloper and wrote the forward), Troy-Miami County Public Library Board, Troy Restoration and Development Board, Troy Beautification Committee, Trees for Troy, Girl Scouts of America (troop leader), Trinity Episcopal Church (multiple-term warden, Sunday School teacher and prolific contributor to the church’s newsletter, Trinity Topics) and Trinity Nearly New store, formerly in downtown Troy.

“She was an attribute to the community in so many ways, you couldn’t begin to count them all,” Jenkins said. “She was always involved and not afraid to speak

her mind.”

The mother of six also received many other accolades for her service, including the Distinguished Citizens Award from the Troy Chamber of Commerce, Distinguished Citizens Award (along with Robert) from the Troy Jaycees, the Distinguished Service Award from the Water Management Association of Ohio and the Outstanding Service Award from the Troy-Miami County Public Library.

“She just had a wonderful approach to everything. She was very kind and listened well. But, she had her own ideas, too,” Jenkins said.

With Mrs. Bravo’s love of the outdoors and its activities, she also was a longtime supporter of the Troy Country Club and Miami County YMCA. In Troy, a memorial service will be offered at 3 p.m. Nov. 19 at Trinity Episcopal Church, 60 S. Dorset Road, Troy.

“Someone who knows how to prosecute, which I’ve done, with my experience with the Tipp City’s law director as his assistant,” Caldwell said.

James Livingston said his varied legal experience is why he should be elected as city law director for Troy. Livingston listed his expertise including prosecutor for Miami County including felony cases in the Miami County Common Pleas Court, legal adviser

and counsel to all of the townships in Miami County and the various boards and commissions of the county as well as a municipal prosecutor for the City of Troy and West Milton of why he is the most qualified for the office.

“The most experienced, most qualified and best for Troy — Jim Livingston,” he said simply in his closing remarks.

The four candidates vying for the three at-large for Troy City including Colin Councils, Girolamo who deflected questions about his recent legal troubles, publicly gave their reasons why they should be elected including

incumbent Alan Clark, Robin Oda and Lynne Snee.

Also in attendance were the two candidates for city auditor Mike Burkholder and John Stickel.

With two seats open for Troy City Schools board of education, incumbent Douglas Trostel joined current board member Tom Yenney, who stepped in for 16 months of service for Rev. Jim Wilson’s seat left vacant due to relocation, at the forum. David Heffner also is seeking a seat for Troy City School’s board of education attended the forum, but John Schmiedebusch was unable to attend due to a schedule conflict.

Nasal said the injunction further asks for the sheriff’s office to be prohibited from seizing or taking ownership of the birds.

“We will respond in a timely fashion on behalf of the sheriff,” Nasal said.

However, the 10 birds that remain at the clinic are part of a continuing investigation by the Miami County Sheriff’s Office, according to Chief Deputy Dave Duchak. In midAugust, Ratcliff filed a report with allegations of deception and theft involving persons from the bird group removing more birds from the house than he had permitted.

Wings “The investigation is close to be concluded and will be turning it over to Miami County Prosecutor Gary Nasal for him to determine if he wants to have the Grand Jury review the evidence we have collected,” Duchak said.

Duchak said the sheriff’s office recognizes the Miami Valley Bird and Rescue Group had good intentions for all of the birds, but believes some might have went beyond the scope of the law and Mr. Ratcliff’s permission in their rescue efforts.

He said the sheriff’s office has reached out to the bird group to offer a resolution to the case — to simply turn the 10 birds and any others removed from the property over the the Florida sanctuary.

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP The Daily Sentinel, Grand Junction, Colo., on regulating oil drilling wastewater: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is considering new regulations on the disposal of wastewater from oil and gas drilling to deal with a problem that may exist only in a one state — Pennsylvania.

Great. It’s that kind of thinking that causes many business people to jump on the anti-regulation bandwagon.

The rules in question would be designed to regulate the disposal of hydraulic fracking fluids and other drilling wastes into municipal wastewater treatment facilities, which aren’t equipped to handle the fluids.

But, as David Neslin, director of the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, noted, that situation appears to be unique to Pennsylvania. It doesn’t occur in Colorado or other Western states.

So the rules would have little affect on drilling in Colorado.

Except that they add to regulatory uncertainty for the industry.

It’s been clear for several years that some groups want the EPA to become more involved in regulating hydraulic fracturing, or fracking.

Originally proposed in 1981 by Stanford University scholars Robert E. Hall and Alvin Rabushka, the flat tax is a variation on the value-added taxes imposed in Europe.

Former Godfather’s Pizza Chief Executive Herman Cain has called for a flat 9 percent tax on personal and corporate incomes along with a 9 percent national sales tax.

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich of Georgia, who once ridiculed presidential contender Steve Forbes’ flat-tax plan as “nonsense,” now proposes to give individual taxpayers the option of paying a flat tax of 15 percent in lieu of complying with the current code.

And Texas Gov. Rick Perry is expected to unveil a similar proposal for an optional flat tax of 20 percent.

Lawmakers can achieve the legitimate economic goals of the flat tax without abandoning graduated rates. One example is the tax overhaul that President Ronald Reagan signed into law in 1986, which eliminated enough tax breaks to allow brackets to be consolidated and the top rate lowered significantly.

Flat-tax advocates are right to call for a radically simpler code, but they’re focusing on the wrong problem.

Republicans have been trying to rein in.

You go ahead and vote "No" on Issue 2 and put Ohio on the road to bankruptcy along with California, Illinois and New York. More than 900,000 people moved from California last year.

Want to guess why? I read about a survey recently in which one in three New Yorkers said they planned to leave the state in the next five years.

I'm not from around these parts. I came here going on 11 years ago for a job. Now I'm retired. I like Ohio, but my roots here aren't that deep. I might have stayed here for the rest of my life, except for one thing: the high level of taxation.

So the Vogts can keep their union control and their high taxes.

But don’t expect me to hang around here to pay them.

Alaska is too cold, and Texas and Florida are too hot for me.

DOONESBURY

Getting a call from the great beyond The other day I visited my lunch buddy Brooklyn at Heywood Elementary for our monthly lunch date. While waiting on the kids, I happened to grab a book from the library entitled “Weird Ohio” and flipped around, looking at all the unusual buildings and sights that our state has to offer.

I was sort of disappointed that Miami County didn’t have much to offer in terms of “weirdness.”

The authors obviously have never visited a few of our cemeteries around here (or a particularly eccentric newsroom).

I personally love visiting cemeteries. I find them peaceful, sad and even humorous. I could spend hours just looking at the names carved on headstones, from the smallest marble markers to the grand pillars. I find it fascinating how people leave their final mark on their final resting place.

So with Halloween festivities in full swing this weekend, I thought I’d share my own personal ghost story.

In the quaint little town of Fletcher, on the outskirts of town to the north, is the final resting place where many of my family members are buried. My family doesn’t visit the cemetery much, other than prior to Memorial Day. I went with my mother this past year to leave the usual flower arrangement and to wipe down

Melanie Yingst Troy Daily News Columnist family markers and wander around to see what other graves have names of family and friends.

In fact, there’s a giant Wilgus marker front and center of the cemetery’s entrance. So we’ll hop out of the car, check out the names and make a mental note.

Evan was with us this year so we showed him the “James Evan Wilgus” marker, where his first name was derived from.

Yet, there’s one particular marker that I always visit, despite it having no ties to my family. The Duncan memorial is a large pillar in the center of the cemetery. Yet, the unique aspect of this particular marker is at its base — a golden armchair. Of course it’s made of cement, but where else can you find an armchair in a cemetery? I often wondered why this family chose to leave an armchair next to an elaborate memorial to Mr. James R. Duncan and his wife, Margaret

— Rick Miller Troy

James R. Duncan was born in 1836 and died in 1930 and his wife was one year older, born in 1835 and she died in 1901.

So they were born before the Civil War and Mr. Duncan lived quite a long time through the turn of the century and through World War I. So one summer evening before Memorial Day, I wandered and found the Duncan chair. I’d done this many times as a child, so I tried to figure out why this chair was here from the chair itself.

The Duncan chair is positioned to have a view of the Northwest, with its back turned away from town with a view of a lovely farm across the road. Did Mr. Duncan feel as if the town turned its back on him? Was this view important to the Duncan family? Was this seat for his family members to come visit? Was the chair here for Mr. Duncan himself to visit his deceased wife Margaret?

Suddenly, something happened that will stay with me for the rest of my life.

After a few minutes of sitting in the Duncan chair, I heard a muffled voice coming from behind me.

“Heeellllloooo??? Are you there???” I sat glued to the chair. I felt the color drain from my face and was frozen with fear. I could see my mom and Evan out in the distance, so I know it wasn’t them

calling for me.

“Melanie? Are you there?” Oh my goodness, Mr. Duncan’s ghost knows my name?

“I’m here!” I answered, testing my paranormal skills for the first time — it felt so odd and unBaptist of me, but I had to answer the voice.

“What are you doing?

Helloooo?” the voice still was muffled, now sounding angry and annoyed.

“Just here to visit — that’s all,” answering the voice, as I slowly stood up, turned around and looked behind the chair, expecting to see the Duncan ghost.

There the voice was — a glowing light coming from the Duncan chair. I walked quickly out of the way, making sure not to trip over markers embedded in the ground.

So folks, the next time you go visit the cemetery, look around and enjoy the unusual sights and sounds these burial grounds have to offer.

Just be sure to lock the keypad of your cell phone in your back jeans pocket so you don’t accidentally dial your best friend if you happened to take a rest in Mr. Duncan’s chair.

DEATHS OF NATIONAL INTEREST • Howard Wolpe DETROIT (AP) — Former Democratic U.S. Rep. Howard Wolpe, who helped pass the federal antiapartheid act in 1986, has died. He was 71.

The seven-term congressman had recently been ill with a heart condition, former staffer Ken Brock said Wednesday. He died Tuesday at his home in Saugatuck.

Wolpe, who also unsuccessfully sought the governor’s office in Michigan, served in Congress from 1979-1992. As chair of the U.S House Subcommittee on Africa, he authored and managed legislation imposing sanctions against South Africa for its system of white-minority rule.

“Howard was a very pleasant guy, a gentleman in all respects,” said Battle Creek Dr. Joe Schwarz, who teaches at the University of Michigan’s Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy.

“He was exceptionally bright and exceptionally

committed to his mission,” Schwarz said. “He had a real deep and abiding interest in African affairs where he made his name in Congress.”

Wolpe once served as Special Envoy to Africa’s Great Lakes Region under President Bill Clinton “where he initiated peace talks and helped end civil wars in Burundi and the Democratic Republic of the Congo,” Democratic Rep. John Dingell said in a statement.

“He was a dear friend of mine who shared my love and care for the great state of Michigan,” Dingell said.

“His impact on public policy in Michigan, our country, and across the world was a positive one. Howard contributed most of his life to bringing civility to government relations and making this world a better place.”

Wolpe later served as director of the Africa Program at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars.

and the Outstanding Service Award from the Troy-Miami County Public Library.

In the 1970s Lucia and Robert were instrumental in the refurbishing of The Brewery into a tavern and restaurant, and at the same time, the revitalization and reutilization of “commercial row” the block from West Water Street to the Square with the intent toward a more aesthetically historic representation of downtown Troy.

In 1996, during their transition between Troy and Vero Beach, Lucia and Robert had a deep desire to leave a lasting “thankyou” to the people and city of Troy.

This resulted in their offering a matching seed fund to challenge and reward community involvement in the renovation of the Hobart Arena.

Under the supervision of Charles Sharett, a dedicated board of fellow philanthropic Trojans, and the City of Troy, they raised more than $2 million.

The newly modernized Arena was dedicated on the 50th anniversary of its opening, culminating with a ceremony in which Lucia was presented with a Key to the City of Troy by former Mayor Peter Jenkins.

Lucia so enjoyed sports and the great outdoors that she involved herself in many activities, including canoeing, hiking, camping, tennis, golf, and skiing, and excelled in the Masters Swimming program in later life.

Because of these interests she was a member and great supporter of the Miami County YMCA, the Troy Country Club, the Blue Hill Country Club, and the Orchid Island Golf and Beach Club.

After a life-time of summer camps, prep schools, colleges and vacations in New England, Robert and Lucia purchased a summer home in Blue Hill, Maine.

They and their children enjoyed long days filled with the many outdoor and cultural activities available in the area. It was a place and a time that Lucia and Robert both held dear and continues to be used by her children and grandchildren every summer.

Lucia’s lifelong love of rivers led to her choice of living on the Indian River, and so it was appropriate that she passed from this life while looking out over the estuary and its ever-changing weather and teeming wildlife, all enacted under sunny skies, huge thunder clouds, or a blanket of stars.

Those who knew and loved Lucia will celebrate her life in the knowledge that she lived abiding by her philosophy to leave her communities, country and the world a better place.

There will be a memorial service at 3 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 19, at Trinity Episcopal Church, 60 S. Dorset Rd., Troy, Ohio.

The date will be announced later for a memorial service at Trinity Episcopal Church in Vero Beach, Fla. Condolences may be expressed to the family at www.strunkfuneralhome.com.

AP MOVIE REVIEWS ANONYMOUS: A funny, showy, sexy performance from Rhys Ifans livens up what is often a heavy-handed and needlessly complicated exploration of the theory that maybe William Shakespeare didn’t really write all those plays and sonnets after all. Instead, the film suggests, Ifans’ Earl of Oxford was the true author but he had to disguise his identity because his writing so often provided pointed criticism of royal scandals and foibles. Roland Emmerich works from his meatiest and most sophisticated script yet, the work of John Orloff — then again, we are talking about the director of “Independence Day,” ”The Day After Tomorrow” and “2012.” And all the rich period detail is in place, alongside the kind of big, sweeping aerial shots you’d expect from the maker of blockbusters. But the script jumps back and forth in time so quickly, it convolutes the narrative rather than propelling it forward; you’ll have to stop frequently to remind yourself who is who. At the same time, “Anonymous” is too often on-the-nose, quoting Shakespeare’s most famous words: the “To be or not to be” speech from “Hamlet,” or the “Now is the winter of our discontent” soliloquy that opens “Richard III.” Perhaps that seemed necessary to make this type of specific, academic material accessible to the widest possible audience, but it also seems too obvious. Still, “Anonymous” has its moments. In a bit of stunt casting that pays off beautifully, Vanessa Redgrave and her daughter, Joely Richardson, both play Queen Elizabeth I at different times, and both infuse the figure with vibrancy and quick wit.

And it is sort of an amusing thought that the actual person whose name was William Shakespeare was a drunk, lascivious, illiterate lout. PG-13 for some violence and sexual content. 129 minutes.

Two and a half stars out of four. — Christy Lemire, AP Movie Critic IN TIME: Writer-director Andrew Niccol takes a clever, compelling idea — that time is currency and you can buy your way to immortality or die broke — and beats it into the ground. For a movie about the importance of maximizing every second, “In Time” ultimately grows repetitive and wears out its welcome. It’s briskly paced and hugely stylish, with its gorgeous cast and a mix of slick, futuristic visuals and grimy, industrial chic. But Niccol’s high-concept premise raises several nagging questions. Why do all the inhabitants of this dystopian world (which happens to look just like downtown Los Angeles and Century City) stop aging at 25, then find themselves with only a year left unless they can buy themselves more? When did this start — what is the purpose? And if Justin Timberlake is so busy working just so he can afford to live one day to the next, where does he find time to go to the gym?

Yes, among the beautifully photographed images in “In Time” — the work of the great cinematographer Roger Deakins — is a shirtless Timberlake, early and often. He stars as Will Salas, who lives in the ghetto neighborhood of Dayton but dreams of moving with his mother (Olivia Wilde in an amusing bit of casting) to the ritzy New Greenwich. When he can’t stop her time from running out, he goes on a revenge spree to steal years from the rich and give them back to the poor. His accomplice: the beautiful but sheltered daughter (Amanda Seyfried) of the wealthiest man in town (Vincent Kartheiser), who starts out as his hostage but becomes his enthusiastic partner in crime. So if you’re keeping track, this is “Logan’s Run” meets “Bonnie and Clyde” meets “Robin Hood.” PG-13 for violence, some sexuality and partial nudity, and brief strong language.

109 minutes. Two and a half stars out of four. — Christy Lemire, AP Movie Critic LIKE CRAZY: This doomed romance creates an increasing sense of tension, a tightening in your gut. It makes you squirm in your seat — not because the angst of the young love depicted on screen is so vivid and relatable, but because these two people are so incredibly annoying together, you’d much rather see them apart.

Actually, the scenes in which Anton Yelchin and Felicity Jones are living separate lives in different cities make more sense. Sure, they had their fun, but clearly it’s not going to work, so it’s time to move on. But no, this is supposed to be a cosmic first love that transcends all reason, so writer-director Drake Doremus keeps shoving them back together, keeps finding strained ways for their lives to intertwine.Yelchin and Jones do have some chemistry early on, though, in the halcyon glow of their blossoming relationship. He’s a Los Angeles college student; she’s a British classmate of his who’s here on a student visa. They fall hard and fast and in no time they’re reciting poetry and making scrapbooks and furniture for each other. But then the morning she’s supposed to fly back to London because her visa has run out, she decides she’ll just stay.

She knows she’s supposed to return, if only for a couple of months, but that’s too long for them to be apart. They’re young and in love — the rules shouldn’t apply! So she sticks around for one more blissful summer, with some serious consequences. From here, “Like Crazy” traces the various text messages and terse conversations, missed connections and misplaced anger that plague these two as they try to navigate the complicated immigration system.

PG-13 for sexual content and brief strong language. 89 minutes.

One and a half stars out of four. — Christy Lemire, AP Movie Critic PUSS IN BOOTS: A spinoff of the “Shrek” franchise, this is actually a prequel, providing the origin story of the diminutive, swashbuckling kitty voiced with great charisma, as always, by Antonio Banderas. The “Shrek” movies may not even exist as far we’re concerned here, which is fine, because they just kept getting worse (last year’s “Shrek Forever After,” in 3-D, felt especially flat). But the franchise reboots anew, if you’ll pardon the pun, with great energy, creativity and aplomb. At the film’s start, Puss is an outlaw in his own small, Spanish hometown. Flashbacks take us to his childhood at an orphanage, where he was best friends with a brainy, ambitious Humpty Dumpty (Zach Galifianakis). Together, the two dreamed of stealing the magic beans, climbing the beanstalk and getting rich off some golden eggs. Now, that crime has become Humpty’s obsession. His partner in this caper is the dangerous master thief Kitty Softpaws, voiced with slinky seduction by Banderas’ frequent co-star, Salma Hayek. But since Puss is a lover as much as he’s a fighter, you know he’ll find a way to win her over.

The Puss in Boots character eventually felt like the best part of the “Shrek” movies, but a little of him goes a long way. Giving him an entire movie of his own would seem like a stretch, and really, he has trouble sustaining his shtick for the film’s 90-minute running time. But for quick, lively, family entertainment, “Puss in Boots” works just fine, even in 3-D, which is actually integrated thoughtfully into the narrative and doesn’t just feel like a gimmick. PG for some adventure action and mild rude humor. 90 minutes. Three stars out of four. — Christy Lemire, AP Movie Critic

The nuns are at it again

BY KATIE YANTIS Staff Writer kyantis@tdnpublishing.com

he women of St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Tipp City are at it again.

The crew is taking the stage Saturday and Sunday to offer side-splitting laughter as they raise money for the youth of the church.

T

The group of ladies that presented the dinner theater show “Nunsense” last year as a fundraiser for the youth group and St. Vincent Hospital, are following up last year’s show with the next show in the series, “Nunsense II, The Second Coming.”

Director Irene Crawford said the play went so well last year the group decided to follow the series of “Nunsense” to continue the fundraising for the youth.

“It went very good (last year), we raised $3,500 for the youth group and St. Vincent Hospital,” Crawford said. “‘Nunsense’ was a success so we thought we would go with ‘Nunsense II’ and see how it goes.”

“Nunsense” highlights The Order of the Little Sisters of Hoboken in New Jersey. During the first “Nunsense,” the audience finds out that one of the sisters prepared a meal that was deadly to many of the sisters at the convent. There were some who survived, and out of those who survived, a few decided to put on a fundraiser to raise money for those who had not been buried.

The audience will get to hear what is going on with the sisters of Hoboken now, as the story continues in this follow-up production. Youth ministry director Teri

TIPP CITY Iverson said those who missed out on the first show should not worry, however.

“It is kind of a continuation, but you don’t have to have seen the first show to get it,” Iverson said. “The sisters are a fun type of crazy and the women playing the sisters in the cast are outstanding. They have given it a lot of time and effort, it will just be a wonderful night of fun and laughter and even learning a little bit.”

As the follow-up to the first show, Crawford says the audience can expect the same amount of laughter as was presented in the first show.

“It’s hysterical, it’s still funny,” Crawford said. “We have been having a good time. There is one reprise in the show, but the rest of the performances are new.”

She said the ladies presented such a nice show the church decided to add a day to the schedule for an extra performance.

“We had a very good show,” Crawford said. “People said it was Broadway quality.

It was such a success that we decided to go with four performances because our last Sunday last year was really crowded.”

Crawford said the dinner theater evening is something all residents can enjoy but is also an opportunity for those attending the church to get together and have fellowship.

“It brings the whole church community together,” Crawford said. “They can get together for a fun time and then they can all talk about it later.”

Another highlight Crawford pointed out was the educational view of the show for the younger children.

Sally Beam portrays Sister Mary Hubert, left, while Cindy Griffin portrays Sister Mary Regina in Nunsense II. St. John the Baptist Catholic Church, by special arrangement with Tams-Whitmark Music Library, Inc., presents a dinner theater production of Nunsense II, The Second Coming, Saturday and Sunday and Nov. 4 and 6.

“It’s a fun series but it also has the presence of the nuns,” Crawford said. “Kids have never seen nuns these days and we address that in the show. This show was written in the ‘80s.”

All the funds that are raised during the show will go to the youth group who will use the money for a variety of different outreaches.

Iverson said the money is used for services the group supports locally, nationally and even internationally.

“We do a lot of service to our community, country and the world,” Iverson said. “We help with St. Vincent Hotel, The Family Abuse Crisis Center, Needy Basket and other homeless shelters and every summer our youth group takes a mission trip and this year there will be 30 kids going to San Antonio, Texas.”

She said the fundraiser also helps with other activities for the youth to take part in, no matter their financial situation.

“We try to provide our

activities as cost effective as we can for our families,” Iverson said. “Most of the time we usually only charge about half of what an activity costs so that the youth can be a part of it.”

The dinner theater will be catered this year by Coldwater Cafe and Jane Kiser. The menu will include a soulful starter, habit forming salad, priestly loin of pork, pious potatoes, sister’s veggies, host toasties rolls and mortally sinful dessert.

“Nunsense II, The Second Coming” will be in the banquet hall of St. John the Baptist Church, 753 S. Hyatt St., Tipp City, Saturday and Sunday as well as Nov. 4 and 6. The shows on Friday and Saturday will be $25 and the shows on Sunday with dessert only will be $15. On Saturday and Nov. 4 the dinner will begin at 6 p.m. and the show will begin at 7 p.m.

On Sunday and Nov. 6 the show will begin at 2 p.m.

Tickets are by reservation only and can be made by calling 667-3419.

Sorry to say it, but it’s time to move on

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

Dear Annie: I have been seeing my boyfriend for more than a year. "Keith" was divorced three years ago, but he and his ex-wife live in the same town and have four kids together, one of whom still lives with her.

I am bothered by their relationship, which goes beyond normal concerns for the children.

They talk and text or see each other nearly every day, and it's not always about the kids. She was a controlling wife who regularly emasculated Keith. She has money, so she pays him child support, and I'm guessing it's a substantial amount. He doesn't work and survives on her money.

They have keys to each other's houses, and she will walk into his home and use his dishes and pool as if they were still hers.

This bothers him, but he doesn't do anything about it. Her mail still comes to his house, so he has to deliver it to her. She "hires" him to do jobs like moving her furniture.

The only disagreements we have had are about her and her intrusive and controlling nature.

I believe this relationship is unhealthy, and I refuse to have her in my life. I've told Keith that I will not share him. I fear he would return to her in a heartbeat if she asked, mostly because of the money.

I realize they must be in touch for the kids' sake, and I'm OK with that. But he is unwilling to limit the relationship with his ex, so I've put ours on hold. Do you think that relationship is normal? — Unwilling To Share Dear Unwilling: We think Keith is still dependent, financially and emotionally, on his ex.

If he refuses to limit their contact and you are concerned that he would go back to her "in a heartbeat," we'd say your relationship is doomed. It's time to move on. Keith is essentially unavailable.

Dear Annie: I was in charge of a recent event that was a huge success. Our committee planned it for a long time and raised a good amount of money.

My boss was also on the committee. Our business donated money, which we used to purchase snacks. Another business donated cases of water. After the event, my boss gathered all of the leftover snacks and water and took them with her. The next day, she told a co-worker that another committee member said it was OK to donate the items to another event she was involved in.

She also left the labels on the items, saying they were compliments of our business when they are actually the property of the event. What bothers me most is that she never mentioned it to me. It seems sneaky. Do you think this was a tacky thing to do? — Team Captain Dear Captain: If you were in charge of the event, the boss should have asked whether it was OK if she took the leftovers and donated them elsewhere.

However, we suspect she thought no one would mind if one donation benefited two good causes.

She could have handled it more ethically, but it serves no purpose to hold a grudge.

Dear Annie: I'd like to tell "Sad Wife" that parental favoritism is not unusual. My first husband had three siblings.

His parents doted on all of them, but not on my husband. My current husband also has three siblings and a similar situation.

One thing I noticed in both cases is that parents give their attention to the children they think need it most. To the leftout child, it feels like favoritism, but I truly believe the parents consider that child to be the most loved and think they need to dote on the others. I finally told my husband's parents how he felt, and they were mortified.

Please tell "Sad Wife" not to feel bad for her husband. Feel bad for the siblings. — Making My Husband Feel Special Every Day Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

YESTERDAY’S SOLUTION:

HINTS FROM HELOISE

Don’t hold the mayonnaise at this table G’day, Heloise: Growing up in the U.S., your mother was the source of many ideas and hints that helped make our family’s life much easier.

About 30 years ago, my parents went on holiday. The day before they were to return, I went to vacuum and dust. I discovered with horror several white streaks in the tabletop finish under damp plastic bags!

Panic ensued, and I was searching for someone to refinish the table fast. The phone rang, and a dear family friend was on the line. In desperation, I asked her if she knew anyone to do the job. She laughed and said, “Don’t you read Heloise?”

Hints from Heloise Columnist I hopped in the car and went to buy the biggest jar of mayonnaise available. I spread a layer over the entire tabletop. The next morning, I returned to find no sign of any of the white streaks! The table looked good as new, and the shine after a good rubdown was awesome!

Thank you and your wonder-

ful mum for so much! — Katherine J. from Australia Howdy, Katherine from Australia! So glad to help, and remember: real mayo, not diet!

Plus, if you have a curious cat, cover the area with plastic wrap or foil. — Heloise TRAVEL TIME Dear Heloise: I have two travel hints that can be used by those traveling via air or any other means who must pass through security screenings.

The first hint involves using a carry-on bag. For this, I use an old laptop computer case. It has straps and handles, which make carrying it easy. It also has many pockets and compart-

ments in which to place many varied items.

The second hint goes along with the first one. I always carry a gallon-size, zippered plastic storage bag. Prior to entering the security checkpoint, I empty all of my pockets into this plastic bag and place it into the laptop bag.

This way, there is no need to reach into each and every pocket while in line and empty them into the tubs that go through the X-ray station.

But the best advantage is that you also do not have to dig out all of that stuff that you put into the tubs. — David Day, Findlay, Ohio

HOROSCOPE Friday, Oct. 28, 2011 Certain knowledge gathered through personal experience in the next year will turn out to be extremely valuable. What you learn will broaden your perspective, help you in your goal selection and carry you far.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — It might be one of those times when the ideas of your mate or partner could be substantially better than yours. Listen attentively and be prepared to choose their plans over your own.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — The arrangement of your schedule will determine the degree of productivity you achieve. Spending too much time on innocuous pursuits will accomplish very little.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — For the sake of your own peace of mind, don’t take yourself or what you’re trying to accomplish too seriously. Once you get uptight, very little will come easily.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — The one thing that could thwart your capability to accomplish your aims is the misuse of your imagination. Instead of anticipating defeat or conflict, focus on victory.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Listen to a friend who has been trying to tell you something that you don’t want to hear. What she or he has to say can be very valuable, and exactly what you need to achieve your goal.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — A financial arrangement that worked out quite well for an associate might not do so well for you. Use your own judgment in this matter, and do what is best for your interests.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — If a misunderstanding arises between you and an easygoing friend, chances are it is you who has stepped over the line. Even if you think you’re in the right, don’t be too proud to make amends.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Don’t be demanding in order to get someone to be supportive of your cause — instead show cooperation with this person’s needs. If you give a little first, you’ll get a lot back later.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Don’t be hesitant to ask advice regarding something that has you stymied.

However, it might be smart to go to a friend instead of a family member if it’s a personal issue.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Clinging to a negative attitude might be your biggest liability. Keep telling yourself over and over that you can be successful, and you will.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — You’re known for being quite adroit at handling most anything that comes your way, with one exception. Upon occasion you can get quite careless in handling your funds. Be especially careful today.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — It’s time to stop licking your wounds concerning a situation that you recently handled poorly. Instead, steer your mind toward thinking about ways to do better next time.

Thursday under cloudy but not-yet-rainy weather.

At the beach, lifeguards were placing red flags warning people not to swim.

“We would prefer to lie on the beach and get in the ocean, but right now all we can do is walk around and go shopping,” said Vera Kohler, a 27-year-old tourist from Frankfurt, Germany, who arrived Wednesday and planned to stay in the area until Sunday.

Authorities had been preparing to face hurricane conditions.

Domenico Cianni, a retired restaurateur from Vancouver, Canada, said he also prepared for a hurricane by buying extra food and beer and putting shutters on the windows of his rental home.

But after hearing Rina had been downgraded to a tropical storm he decided to join tourists in Playa del Carmen’s pier.

Rina weakens PLAYA DEL CARMEN, Mexico (AP) — Hurricane Rina weakened to a tropical storm Thursday after many tourists had already abandoned Cancun and other Caribbean resorts ahead of what once threatened to be a Category 3 storm.

Rina was forecast to be near or over Mexico’s most popular tourist destinations of Cancun, Cozumel and the Riviera Maya early today before curving back out to sea.

Additional weakening is forecast in the next 48 hours and Rina could become a tropical depression on Saturday.

Mexico’s government discontinued its tropical storm warning for the Yucatan Peninsula south of Punta Gruesa, but a warning remained in effect to the north.

In Playa del Carmen, tourists and residents strolled along the promenade and the beach

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.

Out of surprises Troy’s season ends in district title game

The person, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the team doesn’t release specifinjury ic details, said DIELMAN an ambulance met the team plane and Dielman was hospitalized overnight. The person said the seizure occurred during the plane’s descent into San Diego.

The 320-pound Dielman was staggered by the injury early in the fourth quarter but continued to play. The Chargers were out of offensive linemen due to other injuries.

Vikings ■ CONTINUED FROM B1 Rindler to cap a record setting night.

“It wasn’t just the district title,” Carson said. “Tonight was our 14th win, which sets a new school record. And it was Kelly’s 14th shutout of the season, which is a school record. I am just so proud of the kids.”

After there was no scoring in 80 minutes of regulation soccer and 30 minutes of overtime, it came down to a PK shootout, with both teams getting five kicks.

After both teams had taken four kicks, it was tied 33 with one kick remaining for OHIO COMMUNITY MEDIA PHOTO/MIKE ULLERY each squad.

for Miami East, knowing the season could be hanging in the balance.

“That’s who I want taking the shot in that situation,” Carson said.

And Sutherly delivered with a low shot into the right corner of the goal, give Catholic Central goalie Morgan Weber no chance to make a stop.

“I was kind of hoping Kelly (Rindler) would make a stop if I did miss,” Sutherly said with a laugh. “We work on those shots all the time. I knew it was good (as soon as she kicked it).”

That left Rindler with a goalie’s dream — or nightmare — with the game hanging in the balance on her abil-

ity to stop one shot form pointblank range. The shot was high and left and Rindler easily knocked it down.

“It is amazing to be in a situation like that,” Rindler said. “I could tell what direction she was going to go.”

Rindler was so focused on the stop, she didn’t realize what had happened — until she saw the rest of the Vikings sprinting her way in celebration.

“At first, I didn’t realize it was over,” she said. “Then, I saw everybody running towards me. I can’t think of a better way (to win a district title).”

Carson had no doubt her goalie would come through.

“That was a great save by

Kelly,” she said. “But, she had some great saves during regulation.”

East was trailing 1-0 after the first two kicks.

“I was just hoping I could make at least one save at that point,” Rindler said.

Taylor Mitchell drilled one through Weber and Taylor Young and Haley Young found the back of the net cleanly for East, while Catholic Central missed on its third attempt — evening things up and setting the stage for Sutherly and Rindler.

“It’s nice to win a district title,” Sutherly said. “It just took to long.”

But for Miami East and its fans, it was definitely worth the wait.

Eagles ■ CONTINUED FROM B1 as Troy Christian boasted a record of 15-0-3 going into the game to Fenwick’s record of 10-3-5. When the game started, though, there wasn’t much the Eagle defense, or even the vuvuzelas in the crowd, could do to stop the Fenwick offensive attack.

Katie Fenwick’s Downing gave her team a 1-0 lead at 35:36, heading in a corner kick, which was followed by Meghan Blank’s goal at 27:46 to make it 2-0. In total, the Falcons had two goals off of corner kicks in the first half, jumping out to a 5-0 lead when the buzzer rang.

“We had issues in the back,” Troy Christian coach Brian Peters said.

“We weren’t tight on the mark. We were three yards off the mark every time, and when they got the ball and turned, we couldn’t stop it. There was no defending them. We had to take that away before they had opportunities.

“In the first half, we didn’t do it. We did better in the second. They just had too many weapons.”

Fenwick continued its offensive frenzy in the second half, scoring four more goals, as Amy Gilmore’s loft shot over Troy Christian goalie Karli Riviello’s head with 16 minutes remaining in the game capped off the scoring.

“Honestly, we were kind of caught on our heels a little bit,” Peters said. “We’ve never played a team that possesses that fast. We were playing against a team that has a bunch of 18-year-olds, and our oldest girl is 16 — it’s a physical strength difference.

“But kudos to them.

They are a good team.”

With a district runnerup and an undefeated regular season, there is no that Troy denying Christian’s year was remarkable. But when you consider the countless amount of injuries the team suffered, and the fact that the team accomplished what they did with only 11 players — all of whom are underclassmen — one can see why their season was special.

Now sure, losing like they did to Fenwick may not have been how Troy Christian wanted to go out, but at the end of the day, it wasn’t a loss — it was experience gained.

“Win or lose, we’re happy,” Peters said. “As long as we play with

big accomplishment. That’s a great testament to how hard these girls had to work.”

■ National Basketball Association

Owners, players nearing deal NEW YORK (AP) — NBA owners and players called it an early night Thursday, with both pointing toward Friday as a decisive day for big moves to end the 119-day lockout.

Or not.

After two days of talks about the salary cap system, they will turn their attention back to the division of revenues, which derailed the talks last week.

This time, Commissioner David Stern said the talks had produced enough familiarity and trust “that will enable us to look forward to tomorrow, where we anticipate there will be some important and

additional progress or not.”

“But I think (union executive director Billy Hunter) and I share that view, and we’re looking forward to seeing whether something good can be made to happen.”

The sides again said there was some minor progress on the system issues after about 7 hours of talks. They decided to wrap it up and get some rest following a marathon 15-hour session Wednesday, and with union economist Kevin Murphy unavailable Thursday to discuss finances.

Hunter said he thought the sides were “within striking distance of a getting a

deal” on the system, but there’s still no indication either side is ready to make the big move necessary to settling the BRI split.

Owners have insisted they’re not going beyond 5050, which means the sides are still about $100 million apart annually, based on last season’s revenues.

Players have proposed reducing their guarantee from 57 percent down to 52.5, but they’re unlikely to go much further without some concessions on the system issues.

Asked when the significant move would happen, Hunter noticed Stern sitting in the back of his press conference and said to ask

the commissioner.

“Tomorrow!”

Stern yelled out.

If not, Stern will have to decide whether to add more cancellations to the two weeks that have already been lost.

A full season might be difficult even with a deal this week. It takes roughly 30 days from agreement to games being played, so it’s uncertain if there’s still time for any basketball in November even before examining arena availability. But 82 games would be a boost for the players, meaning they wouldn’t miss the paycheck that seemed lost when the first two weeks were scrapped.

Dielman cussion. Coach Norv Turner said Dielman has yet to take the test he needs to pass before returning to practice. Dielman is scheduled to see a specialist Friday.

“You’ve got to tread lightly. We’ll take the proper precautions and see what happens,” Dielman said. “It (stinks). I was having a good year and this team’s having a good year and I want to be part of this good season.”

With 20 minutes to go in the second half, the Trojans finally found some room to work, and Madison Burchfield set up Ashley Rector for the Trojans’ lone score.

“They had eight shots in the first half and scored on half of them — that shows you the quality of shots they were,” Rasey said. “We had a few opportunities, but we just couldn’t get it in.

We had three chances on Leah (Soutar’s) throws, and we had a couple of good offensive looks. But their keeper made some good saves. If we get one or two of those to go early, the game is a lot different.”

Even though the season is over, the team has plenty of firepower coming back next season.

“We have a lot to be proud of,” Rasey said. “I want to honor the contributions our three seniors made this year, and the team has a lot to look forward to in the future.”

“It’s just one of those plays. I banged my head a little bit, and now I’ve got to deal with it,” Dielman said.

Dielman missed one game last year due to a con-

Thursday night, though, Milford came out too strong.

Milford scored three goals in the game’s first 10 minutes and built a 4-0 lead by the half.

“Milford is a dangerous team, and they demonstrated that tonight with three goals in the first 10 minutes,” Rasey said. “We certainly could’ve played better, but digging ourselves a three-goal hole definitely changed the complexion of the game.

“Take that first 10 minutes away and there were stretches of the game that were pretty even. We had that stretch against Wayne where we gave up two fast goals and were able to fight back. But against a team the quality of Milford, it was too big a hole to dig out of.”

Dielman “is a great player and he sets the tempo for us,” Turner said. “We’ve obviously gone through this with a lot of different guys, a lot of different positions, so we’ve got a plan. I think we’ll be fine.”

Tyronne Green is expected to start in Dielman’s place.

Left tackle Marcus McNeill had limited participation in Thursday’s practice because of a neck injury.

He said he’ll be OK to play Monday night. Tight end Antonio Gates, who returned Sunday after missing three straight games with plantar fasciitis in his right foot, practiced Thursday and is expected to play at Kansas City.

And since the Bombers are typically future players for his legion team, Brown was particularly happy to see everyone fare well.

“Our u15 Bombers gained a lot of valuable experience from participating in the NABF World Series,” Brown said. “It is performances like these that give our Troy Post 43 Legion team a bright future.”

Tipp-Shawnee for all the CBC marbles

BY JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@tdnpublishing.com

TIPP CITY

Week 10.

9-0 versus 9-0.

A Central Buckeye Conference Kenton Trail Division title at stake.

It simply doesn’t get bigger than Springfield Shawnee at Tippecanoe tonight.

“At the beginning of the season, we knew we had to look at it one game at a time. We just wanted to play each game and become a little better each week,” Tippecanoe coach Charlie Burgbacher said.

“Now we’ve put ourselves in a position where we’re playing for what everyone is hoping to be playing for from the start.”

And the routes the Red Devils and Braves took to this point couldn’t be more different.

Shawnee is scoring an average of 40.4 points per game while allowing only 11.4. The closest game the Braves have played all season was a 20-14 victory over Springfield Catholic Central in the season opener. The offensive averages are skewed, of course, by blowouts over clearly inferior teams — like 56-0 and 55-0 wins against Northwestern and Bellefontaine, respectively, and a 70-21 win over winless Stebbins.

Quarterback Brad Jarzab is a dual threat for the Braves. He’s third in the Kenton Trail with 116 rushes for 976 yards and 10 touchdowns, while teammate Alex McCrory is right behind inn fourth with 882 yards and 10 scores on 141 attempts. Through the air, Jarzab is 48 for 83 for 1,004 yards

— tops in the Kenton Trail — with eight touchdowns and five interceptions.

“First, they like to run the ball,” Burgbacher said. “They get you coming down to stop the run, and then they go up top. They do a pretty good job of throwing the ball.

“It’s what they’ve been doing for five or six years now — they’ve just changed faces. And they’ve got a pretty veteran team. A lot of the kids playing tonight played us a year ago.”

One thing that has remained consistent even against quality opponents, though, is the Shawnee defense. The 21 points given up to Stebbins is the most the Braves have allowed all year. Even 7-2 Urbana — the Mad River Division leader — could manage only 17 points in a 23-17 loss.

“They play a 50 scheme and look

WEEK 10 SPRINGFIELD SHAWNEE (9-0, 4-0) at TIPPECANOE (9-0, 4-0): It’s all been building up to tonight. Tippecanoe has met every challenge thrown its way so far, but no challenge has been bigger than fellow unbeaten Springfield Shawnee. Then again, the Braves have yet to see any kind of test like the one they’ll face in the Red Devils — and coming off back-toback blowouts, 55-0 against Bellefontaine and 70-21 against Stebbins — did no favors to Shawnee in preparing for the CBC Kenton Trail title game.

NORTHRIDGE (0-9, 0-5) at MILTON-UNION (7-2, 4-1): It will be night and day from last week to tonight for the Bulldogs. After traveling to undefeated Waynesville and falling to Luke Creditt and company, MiltonUnion finishes the season at home against winless Northridge. The Bulldogs hung with the top team in Division IV, Region 16 for a half on the road, so there’s no reason to think that they’ll lose tonight. The Bulldogs absolutely must to avoid a letdown, though, to stay in the playoff picture.

COVINGTON (9-0, 8-0) at ARCANUM (5-4, 5-3): The undefeated Buccaneers are sitting pretty heading into the final week of the season — one win away from repeating as Cross County Conference champs and holding a home game in the first week of the playoffs. If Covington avoids slipping up at Arcanum and the computer standings don’t change, the Buccs would host Coldwater in its first playoff game in Division V, Region 20 after spending many years in Division VI. BETHEL (4-5, 3-5) at MISSISSINAWA VALLEY (0-9, 0-8): Given a pair of chances late, Bethel’s offense couldn’t close the gap against Arcanum last week — even with the Trojans taking a pair of safeties intentionally. Tonight, the Bees need only beat winless Mississinawa Valley to finish with a .500 record. The Blackhawks have been shut out three times and scored a total of 72 points all season — and have given up an average of 41.8 points per game.

DAYTON CHRISTIAN (8-1, 2-1) at TROY CHRISTIAN (1-8, 1-2): Troy Christian’s offense has struggled all season long, only scoring 20 points in a game twice. But its defense has had an even tougher time the past three weeks, surrendering 33 points to Lima Perry, 55 to Ft. Loramie and another 52 to Spencerville. Dayton Christian, meanwhile, has gone 8-1 by scoring 45.4 points per game and giving up only 16.8 points per game.

TWIN VALLEY SOUTH (3-6, 3-5) at BRADFORD (3-5, 4-5): After entering the year with lofty expectations, Bradford now finds itself needing a win tonight to match its .500 mark from a season ago. But they’ll have to contend with Twin Valley South — which just went to Miami East and won in double overtime. Twin Valley South quarterback Cole Cottingim threw for 317 yards and five touchdowns, giving the Bradford defense something different to contend with in the rushing-heavy CCC. LEHMAN (3-6, 2-1) at FT. LORAMIE (8-1, 3-0): Lehman has won the Metro Buckeye Conference title each year since entering a few short years ago. However, the 3-6 Cavaliers find themselves needing a major upset in Week 10 at 8-1 Ft. Loramie to get a share of the crown this year. The Redskins have shut out four opponents and are giving up only 6.7 points per game. The Cavs may see their MBC streak come to an end in its last year.

PIQUA (5-4) at FAIRBORN (6-3): Piqua may not have been mathematically eliminated from playoff contention like its Week 10 opponent, Fairborn, but the Indians are the longest of longshots to get in. Of the two teams, Piqua really brings in the most motivation — Fairborn has already clinched a share of the GWOC South title and has nothing to play for, while the Indians must win to wrap up its first winning season since 2008.

THE PREDICTORS

Troy at Sidney Spr. Shawnee at Tippecanoe Northridge at Milton-Union Miami East at National Trail Covington at Arcanum Bethel at Mississinawa Valley Dayton Christian at Troy Christian Twin Valley South at Bradford Piqua at Fairborn Lehman at Ft. Loramie

an average score of 28.3-15.6.

Which just may give them the edge in a competitive game.

“Both teams have already qualified for the playoffs, so that pressure is not on,” Burgbacher said.

“You’ve just got two teams that have maybe taken different paths to get there, both playing to be 100.

“Last year (in a 21-18 loss to Shawnee), we had a couple opportunities early that we didn’t capitalize on. We’ve got to make sure we take advantage of those this time around and play the kind of ballgame we’ve been playing.

“We aren’t a young team at this point in the season anymore. We’re no longer inexperienced. These kids have had the chance to develop for nine weeks, and they’ve done that.

We’ve just got to continue to do what we’ve been doing.”

MIAMI COUNTY LEADERS

MIAMI EAST (5-4, 5-3) at NATIONAL TRAIL (1-8, 1-7): Miami East had the off-week to end all off-weeks in Week 9 — and Twin Valley South’s quarterback had the performance of his life. It all combined into a perfect storm that likely dropped the Vikings out of the playoff hunt — particularly with 1-8 National Trail up last on the schedule. There won’t be many computer points to be had, but the frustrated Vikings should hang plenty of actual points on the Blazers.

The Games

very similar to us — except that they’ve got bigger personnel,” Burgbacher said. “They’ve got some good size on their roster.”

But the Devils have weapons of their own — particularly the Kenton Trail’s leading rusher Jacob Hall. Hall has 1,292 yards and 15 touchdowns on 184 attempts — including an 83-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter in Week 9 against Kenton Ridge that gave the Devils a 21-17 victory.

In fact, Tippecanoe has made a season out of clutch performances late in games. A 6-3 win over Greenville in Week 2 that featured a 50-yard touchdown with less than a minute to go and a pair of goalline stands was just the beginning. In Week 3, the Devils beat then-undefeated Milton-Union 28-27 thanks to a blocked extra point. Overall, the Devils have won their games by

Dunaway puts his name in record books

BY DAVID FONG Executive Editor fong@tdnpublishing.com Troy quarterback Cody May wasn’t the only Troy football player to etch his name into the Troy football record books last Friday.

By throwing for 224 yards against Miamisburg, May — who now has thrown for 1,120 yards this season — became just the second quarterback in school history to throw for 1,000 or more yards in consecutive season, joining Tommy Myers, who accomplished that same feat in 1959 and 1960.

May’s favorite receiver against the Vikings was his best friend, senior receiver Ian Dunaway, who caught eight passes for 173 yards and three touchdowns.

Dunaway’s 173 receiving yards are the second-highest single-game total in school history, trailing only Dymond McDonald, who had 233 receiving yards against Centerville in

2001.

Dunaway also moved up to fourth on the single-season receiving list. Through nine games, Dunaway has 517 receiving yards. He passed Jim McDowell, who had 487 receiving yards in 1974. With no less than two games left to play — Troy’s final regular season game tonight against Sidney and at least one playoff game — Dunaway has a chance to move up higher on the single-season receiving list.

He trails only Tommy Vaughn (703 yards in 1959 and 627 yards in 1960) and

WILLIAMS Bill Whidden (580 yards in 1972).

Dunaway also has 10 touchdown catches this season — putting him within striking distance of Vaughn, who had a schoolrecord 13 touchdown receptions in 1960.

• SHARING THE WEALTH: Barring some sort of rushing explosion in the final game of the season and the playoffs, Troy will not have a 1,000-yard rusher this season.

That, however, is a deceiving statistic.

er to rush for 1,000 yards in a season was Matt Allen in 2008. That year, Allen had 214 carries for 1,471 yards in 10 games.

Through nine games this season, Troy’s backfield of seniors Marcus Foster, Isaiah Williams and Zach Jones — “The Three Amigos” — have a combined 225 carries for 1,384 yards through nine games, numbers that almost mirror the ones Allen put up in 2008.

In the absence of a featured running back, Troy’s trio has had an impressive season while sharing the

load.

“Any one of them was capable of having a 1,000yard season this year — but that’s not the way we’ve run our offense,” Troy coach Steve Nolan said. “All three of them are unselfish players. They all run hard and — most important — they all block for one another. So we don’t have a 1,000-yard rusher this season — who cares? We are winning games, which is the most important thing to all three of them.”

• CENTER OF ATTENTION: Sophomore

Austin Eidemiller made his return to the full-time starting lineup against Miamisburg.

Eidemiller started the first two games of the season at center for the Trojans before injuring his knee in the second half against Middletown in Week 2. He gradually returned to the Trojan lineup, seeing action against Piqua and Trotwood-Madison.

In his absence, senior Ryne Rich filled in admirably. With Eidemiller’s return, Rich will move to defensive tackle. In his first start of the season on defense, Rich recorded three tackles against Miamisburg.

“Having Eidemiller back allows us to do some different things with our offense out of the shotgun,” Nolan said. “And Rich played really well on defense against Miamisburg. So it’s a winwin situation for us.

Having Eidemiller back gives us some depth on both sides of the ball.”

ual. On any other Troy team, Foster — who already has made a verbal committment to play at the University of Cincinnati next season — likely would have been the featured running back. On this team, however, Foster has been willing to share the carries.

On another team, Foster would have been a lock for at least 1,000-yard rushing season. On this team, he’s less worried about piling up yards — and far more concerned with piling up victories.

“We’ve all bonded together,” Foster said.

“This is a class that just wants to win. I think everyone wants to do whatever it takes to win — it doesn’t matter who gets the yards or whatever.”

Fellow senior halfback Isaiah Williams took it one step further.

“We want everyone to know we were really close — that we were brothers,” Williams said.

With at least 20 wins and two playoff appearances under their collective belts, the seniors feel they are leaving the program in good hands.

“I think we are leaving a good legacy,” Butcher said. “We might be one of the best classes to ever go through here.”

Which is something he saw coming all along.

Quiz time: What football team did Sidney defeat in its most recent victory?

The answer: Troy, 15-14 in overtime, in the final game of the 2009 season.

That loss would cost the Trojans a spot in the Division I playoffs. Since then, the Yellowjackets have gone 0-19, while being outscored by an average of 40.5 to 9.2.

Troy, meanwhile, has gone 15-5 and wrapped up a pair of playoff appearances since then.

Going into tonight’s regular season finale against the Yellowjackets, Troy coach Steve Nolan would prefer his team remain the answer to one trivia question and not become a part of the second — against whom did the Yellowjackets end their losing streak?

“Obviously they’ve had some struggles since then, but we’ve still got to come out and play focused and take care of business,” Nolan said. “We’re already in the playoffs this year — so we make it whether we win or lose this game — but we still need to come out and win this game. We don’t want to go into the playoffs coming off a loss.

We still need to come out and play well — not just because we want to win every game, but it’s also important for us to have momentum going into the postseason.”

Also, the Trojans still have an outside shot at a share of the Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division title. A win over the Yellowjackets — coupled with a VandaliaButler upset of stateranked Trotwood-Madison — would give the Trojans a share of the conference crown.

With Trotwood a prohibitive favorite against the Aviators, however, the Trojans are looking more toward the playoffs — and a possible chance to host a playoff game.

Currently, the Trojans are second in the Region 3, Division I computer points standings. The top eight teams in each region qualify for the playoffs, while the top four teams in each region host first-round playoff games. If Troy loses to Sidney tonight, it will make the playoffs but will have no chance at hosting a playoff game. If Troy wins, most experts feel the Trojans will have about a 50-50 shot at hosting a playoff game at Troy Memorial Stadium.

“There are a lot of sce-

TROY narios out there there — it’s all over the Internet,” Nolan said. “We don’t worry too much about that. All we know is we have to come out and beat Sidney and then let everything else play itself out.”

Based on the numbers the Yellowjackets have put up this year, Troy has to be considered an overwhelming favorite. In its nine losses, Sidney has been outscored 53.1 to 10.4. Its closest game so far this season was a 20point loss (41-21) to rival St. Marys in the season opener. In eight of its nine losses, Sidney has given up 40 points or more. In five of its losses, Sidney has given up 50 points or more.

“We still expect them to come out and play hard,” Nolan said. “They’ve got nothing to lose, really.

When you watch them on film, you can see the kids haven’t quit.

“They are still playing hard every play. You can definitely see they have some potential, it’s just a matter of getting some things together.”

Troy meanwhile, enters as a team that — based on its performance last week against Miamisburg — is clicking on all cylinders.

Troy’s defense gave up just 59 yards in total offense againt the Vikings, while quarterback Cody May threw for 224 yards and three touchdowns, receiver Ian Dunaway had eight catches for 173 yards and three touchdowns and halfbacks Marcus Foster and Isaiah Williams both rushed for 70 or more yards.

“We are really playing well right now,” Nolan said. “We kind of got beat up a little bit by Trotwood (in Week 8), but they have pretty much done that to just about everybody this year. The kids are all excited about what is happening right now. We hope to close out the regular season the right way and then look forward to the playoffs.”

• MORE ON SIDNEY: This will be the 95th time the two schools have met. Aside from Piqua, Troy has played Sidney more than any other team.

The two teams played their first game in 1897 — two years before Troy started playing Piqua.

Troy holds a 59-28-7 edge in the series ... Sidney’s last win came against Troy in 2009, a 15-14 overtime victory. Troy’s last win against Sidney came last year, a 57-7 victory in the final game of the regular season.

No. 16 Wisconsin at Ohio State, 8 p.m., Saturday, ESPN QUARTERBACKS > You’ve heard of the no huddle offense. Meet the no-pass offense. At least that’s what it looked like when Ohio State threw the football only four times in a 17-7 win over Illinois two weeks ago the last time it was on the field.

Freshman Braxton Miller (26 of 51 for 403 yards, 5 TDs) is one of only three true freshmen starting at quarterback in major college football. His strength has been running the ball (243 yards). OSU’s 47.8 completion percentage ranks last in the Big Ten. Wisconsin quarterback Russell Wilson’s Heisman Trophy star might have dimmed a bit when the Badgers lost to Michigan State last week, but the North Carolina State transfer remains a problem for any defense. He has completed 73 percent of his passes for 1,780 yards and 16 touchdowns.

Advantage: Wisconsin

OFFENSIVE LINEMEN > Big — as in really big — offensive linemen have been one of the foundations of Wisconsin football for more than 20 years. Despite losing an NFL first-round pick (Gabe Carimi) and a third-rounder (John Moffitt), the Badgers lead the Big Ten in yards per rushing play (5.8) and have allowed only 10 sacks. Center Peter Konz (6-5, 315) and tackle Josh Oglesby (6-7, 330) lead the Badgers.

Ohio State’s offense ranks 10th in the Big Ten in touchdowns scored (19) and last in touchdown passes (4). Much of that is the result of having inexperienced quarterbacks and receivers, but the offensive line has to share some of the blame.

Advantage: Wisconsin

RECEIVERS > The last time Ohio State’s leading receiver for a season had fewer than 40 catches was in 1991 when Bernie Edwards caught 27. Tight end Jake Stoneburner’s 12 receptions leads OSU this year more than halfway through the season.

Nick Toon, son of former NFL receiver Al Toon, is Wisconsin’s top threat at receiver. He has 27 catches, six of them for touchdowns. Jared Abbrederis (30 catches, 482 yards) and tight end Jacob Pedersen (6 touchdown catches) also contribute to a Wisconsin offense averaging 47 points a game.

Advantage: Wisconsin

< DEFENSIVE LINEMEN Johnathan Hankins and John Simon dominated Illinois’ offensive linemen and disrupted the Illini’s offense when they combined for six tackles for losses. They will face a tougher challenge from Wisconsin’s offensive line.

For Wisconsin, defensive end Louis Nzegwu (4.5 sacks), defensive tackle Patrick Butrym (46 career games) and end Brendan Kelly (3 sacks) are the key players.

Advantage: Ohio State

LINEBACKERS >

BRAXTON MILLER His stats might not inspire awe but the 6-foot-3, 210-pound true freshman quarterback from Huber Heights has played well the past two games as the starter. He’s run for 243 yards and passed for 403 yards and five TDs.

RUNNING BACKS > Ohio State has had a running back gain more than 100 yards in its last two games after not having a 100-yard rusher in its first five games. Dan Herron immediately went to the head of the line with 114 yards against Illinois in his first game this season after serving a six-game suspension.

Wisconsin’s Montee Ball (768 yards) leads the Big Ten in rushing and James White (458 yards) is eighth. White rushed for 75 yards and a touchdown in Wisconsin’s 31-18 win over then-No. 1 Ohio State last season.

OSU’s linebackers are “getting better every week” and will face “a big test” this week, coach Luke Fickell said earlier this week. Andrew Sweat leads the Buckeyes in tackles. Much-hyped freshman Curtis Grant has made his first appearance on the two-deep depth chart and is listed No. 2 behind Etienne Sabino at one linebacker spot. For Wisconsin, Kettering Alter graduate Chris Borland has a team-high 71 tackles and 10 tackles for losses after missing almost all of last season with a shoulder injury. Mike Taylor has 64 tackles and has forced two fumbles.

Advantage: Wisconsin

DEFENSIVE BACKS Wisconsin’s defensive backfield struggled at times against Michigan State quarterback Kirk Cousins (290 yards, 3 TDs) in a 37-31 loss last week.

Safety Aaron Henry and cornerback Antonio Fenelus have combined for 12 career interceptions. But their tackling skills might get more of a workout than their coverage skills against OSU. For Ohio State, Bradley Roby’s three interceptions are already as many as any Buckeye had last season.

Advantage: Even

SPECIAL TEAMS OSU’s Drew Basil has hit his last eight field goal attempts and punter Ben Buchanan is averaging 41.3 yards per kick. Wisconsin kicker Philip Welch (2 of 3) has returned from a groin injury and punter Brad Nortman averages 43.1 yards per kick. Each team has returned a punt for a touchdown. Wisconsin allowed a blocked punt for a touchdown and a blocked field goal last week.

Title game adds hurdle for Big Ten COLUMBUS — Earlier this week on the Big Ten football coaches teleconference, a reporter asked Ohio State coach Luke Fickell how having a conference championship game would affect a Big Ten team’s chances of playing for a national championship.

“I don’t know. We’ve never had it before,” Fickell said. “You can look at it and see ways it helps and ways it hurts. All we know is we’ve got one this year and we’ll be excited.”

You wonder if people around the Big Ten will be a good excited or a bad excited late on the evening of Dec. 3 after seeing the results of that first conference championship game at Indianapolis’ Lucas Oil Field.

Conference championship games have become very popular. They make money. Television loves them. They seem to raise the profile of a conference, especially if a conference produces a national champion.

But not everyone who has played or coached in conference championship games is a fan of them.

The worst possible scenario in such games is that a great team that has had a great season can have one bad day and lose to a team with two or three losses.

Last spring, Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said he’d had somewhat of a love-hate relationship with the now-eliminated Big 12 championship game. When his team was undefeated going into the game, he didn’t like it.

But when his team didn’t have the best record, he looked at it much more favorably.

“Those years when we were undefeated or looking at the national championship right in front of you, it was really difficult to play in that Big 12 championship game,” Stoops said.

“But those other years where that wasn’t the case, it was incredibly exciting to play in it.”

The Big Ten and Pac-12 will both play their first conference championship games this year, following the lead of the Southeastern Conference (1991), Big 12 (1996) and Atlantic Coast Conference (2004).

It might be exciting. But if the goal is to win the national championship, the Big Ten just put another hurdle in front of its teams.

Days until kickoff

Air Bucks: OSU must find passing attack COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio State interim coach Luke Fickell joked when asked if he spent the bye week working on his anemic passing attack.

“I did throw at home with the kids all weekend,” he said with a wide grin. “Maybe my passing game is a little better.”

As for his Buckeyes’ ability to successfully go to the air, well, that remains to be seen.

To beat a good team, coaches always say, it takes a balanced offense. That is the very problem confronting passing-challenged Ohio State as it hosts No. 12 Wisconsin on Saturday night.

In their most recent game,

a windy 17-7 victory over No. 15 Illinois on Oct. 15, the Buckeyes (4-3, 1-2 Big Ten) completed a grand total of … one pass.

Almost no one in the Ohio State camp, or for that matter with the Badgers (6-1, 2-1), believes that the Buckeyes can or should try to fill the air with footballs. But almost everyone agrees that they must find a way to keep Wisconsin from stacking players on the line of scrimmage to throttle the run if they hope to have a chance of pulling off the upset.

“You know, we worked on things (in the passing game) all week. We think we’re seeing a lot of growth, we really

do,” Fickell said, sounding as if he were trying to convince himself. “Until it shows up on Saturday night, it’s still just talk.”

Freshman Braxton Miller, who has fought through a sprained ankle, will again get the call for the Buckeyes at quarterback. Considered an above-average passer in high school, he has had great difficulty with his footwork, his timing and then throwing spirals. In his three games as a starter, he is 16 for 35 for 251 yards and four touchdowns with one interception.

Consider that Wisconsin’s Russell Wilson was 14 for 20 for 255 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions

in one game against then-No. 8 Nebraska, a 48-17 Badgers win on Oct. 1.

Miller has made inroads in terms of his composure, his reads and his other decisions in his brief time as the No. 1 signal-caller. His teammates say his passing game is also improving.

“Oh, yeah, definitely. I feel like the ball’s there when I’m coming out of my breaks,” tight end Jake Stoneburner said. “It’s where it’s supposed to be. He’s putting it in the right place, away from defenders. Especially last week I noticed it when we were going against the (firstteam defense) or going against the scout team, he

seemed to be on point with a lot of his passes.”

Center Mike Brewster said it’s all a question of confidence.

“I just see a different guy than I saw before,” he said.

“He’s got so much more confidence. I’m sure he understands and feels way more comfortable with the offense, controlling the huddle all those little things. I really just think he’s been going out there and playing like he knows how to play and being calm and playing natural.”

Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema is unsure of what to expect from Miller and Ohio State’s offense.

“To have a bye week right

before us really kind of keeps us in question of what they’re going to do,” he said. “You kind of wish you had a couple more game films on Braxton just to see where they’re going. They look more and more like the traditional Ohio State as they get further into the season, really settled in.”

Ohio State offensive coordinator Jim Bollman expects the Badgers to load up the box and dare the Buckeyes to throw.

“They would probably do that anyway just with a relatively inexperienced quarterback and receivers and all those kind of things, a lot of people would take that approach,” he said.
