With a laidback, retro atmosphere, Studio 45 salon has opened its doors to offer the latest in “spalon” services in Troy. Offering salon services from headto-toe, Studio 45 owner Colt Hines said when the opportunity knocked to open a business in his hometown, he sprung into action. “We wanted to offer a full-service and to do it all in one spot,” Hines said. “My whole life, I’ve always had my hair cut each week. So I wanted to open up a place that looks high-end, but is affordable, comfortable, with a family-friendly atmosphere.” Located at 1471 S.

Joining Hines in his business venture is his mother, Tina Hunter, a nail technician, along with six fulltime stylists. “It’s a laid-back atmosphere and relaxing because the customers are here for themselves and we love being a part of that,” Hunter said. “It’s an awesome place and everybody should come check it out.” Hunter said she was thrilled to bring her services to her son’s new business venture along with the rest of the team.

“When Colt came to me about this opportunity I just told him he had to take it,” she said. “We all grouped together and wanted to try to bring someBRITTNEY thing unique and BERRYHILL fun to this side of town.” Hines said Studio 45’s price list and inviting atmosphere makes her feel at home in the newly renovated salon, complete with massage chair and pedicure stations, 10 salon booths and in the future, tanning beds.

G-20 rejects extra help for debt-strapped Europe

Sunday Mostly sunny High: 60° Low: 37°

TROY

CANNES, France (AP) — The G-20 summit ended in disarray Friday without additional outside money to ease Europe’s debt crisis and new jitters about Italy clouding a plan to prevent Greece from defaulting. In Athens, meanwhile, Greece’s prime minister survived a confidence vote in parliament, calming a revolt in his Socialist party with a pledge to seek an interim government that

would secure a vital new European debt deal. In the end, only vague offers to increase the firepower of the International Monetary Fund at some later date were all the eurozone leaders were able to take home after two days of tumultuous talks. With their own finances already stretched from bailing out Greece, Ireland and Portugal and the United States and other

allies wrestling with their own problems eurozone countries had been looking to the IMF to help line up more financing to prevent the debt crisis from spreading to larger economies like Italy and Spain. Italy’s fate in particular is crucial to the eurozone, because its economy the third-largest in the currency union would be too expensive to bail out. The implications for the world

economy are stark: The debt crisis that has rocked the 17-nation eurozone threatens to push the world economy into a second recession. European leaders could point to one potential catastrophe averted: They stared down Greece’s prime minister and berated him into scrapping a referendum that threatened their European bailout plan.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The American job market improved modestly in October, and economists looking deeper into the numbers found reasons for optimism or at least what counts for optimism in this agonizingly slow economic recovery. The nation added 80,000 jobs. That was fewer than the 100,000 that economists expected, but it was the 13th consecutive month of job gains. Fears of a new recession that loomed over the economy this summer have receded. The unemployment rate nudged down, to 9 percent from 9.1 in September. “Those are pretty good signs,” said Michael Hanson, senior economist at Bank of America Merrill Lynch. “We’re hanging in there.” No one looking at Friday’s report from the Labor Department saw a quick end to the high unemployment that has plagued the nation for three years. The jobless rate has been 9 percent or higher for all but two months since June 2009. The government uses a survey of mostly large companies and government agencies to determine how many jobs were added or lost each month. It uses a separate survey of households to determine the unemployment rate. The household survey picked up a much bigger job gain 277,000 in October, and an average of 335,000 per month for the last three months. The household survey picks up hiring by companies of all sizes, including small businesses. Economists pointed out other bright spots in the unemployment report: Average hourly wages rose 5 cents a week, to $23.19. More pay for workers means they have more spending power in the economy. Many businesses are waiting for customer demand to pick up before they hire in big numbers again.

Law director • Continued from Page 1 Livingston and Harrelson to the ballot. ROB HARRELSON Rob Harrelson, 54, is a partner in the downtown Troy law firm of Faust, Harrelson, Fulker, McCarthy and Schlemmer LLP. He said he is running for law director “because I always have had a strong desire to serve my community through effective reand sponsible government. As this was the first HARRELSON opportunity where an incumbent is not running, I feel that it’s time for a fresh face.” Harrelson’s father, William M. Harrelson, served as the city law director for 10 years, prior to the 29-year run of former law director McGregor “Greg” Dixon. (Grant Kerber has served as law director for the past two years, but an inadvertent error on his nominating petitions in February bumped him from the Nov. 8 ballot as a Republican. Kerber did enter his name as a write-in candidate in late August, but withdrew when Livingston was returned to the ballot). While Harrelson has no prior experience as an elected official, he previously served as the village of Casstown’s city attorney, and currently is the city attorney for the village of Ludlow Falls. “I have extensive experience providing legal advice in a similar role to the villages of Casstown and Ludlow Falls. I have successfully advised both villages for over 20 years on various legal challenges and ultimately helped secure their fiscal stability,” he said. “I also have built a private practice over the last 30 years representing clients in a wide range of areas such as zoning, tax disputes, real estate, contract negotiations, constitutional and criminal law. In cases where problems arise involving a local municipal government, I have the unique experience of having represented both private citizens and local governments to fairly resolve the

issues,” said Harrelson, who is married and the father of four. “As the only life-long Trojan in this race, I have the passion and commitment to serve my hometown. I have always been an active member of our community, specifically, helping establish the Troy Junior Basketball Association and serving as a board member for many years. I have also served as president and board member of Dollars for Scholars and currently serve on the board for the Overfield Early Childhood Program,” he said. DAVID CALDWELL David Caldwell, 44, is a local attorney and Miami County municipal prosecutor who said he chose to make his first bid for elected office as an independent by filCALDWELL ing after the deadline had passed to run as a party affiliated candidate. “I decided to run for the office of city of Troy law director because the city needs and deserves a qualified, experienced municipal law attorney. For the majority of my near 18-year legal career, I have served the public in some capacity as a municipal law attorney. I choose to serve the public in this way because it is by far the most enjoyable and satisfying way for me to practice law,” Caldwell said. “I am the best candidate for the office of Troy law director because I have experience in the many areas of law that involve municipalities. I have spent the majority of my legal career as a municipal law attorney, including over four years in the employ of a current city law director and 10 years as a municipal prosecutor,” said Caldwell, a Miami East and Bowling Green State University graduate who received his law degree from the University of Dayton. He is married to wife Susan Caldwell (Rocco). DAVID E. BEITZEL David E. Beitzel, owner of Beitzel Law Office, moved to Troy in 1987 and has practiced law in Troy since 1977. He ran unsuccessfully for Common Pleas judge in 2010, and said he originally

made his decision to run for law director in 2008, when Dixon was appointed probate /juvenile BEITZEL judge. “I firmly believe the law director should be the lawyer of all the citizens regardless of party affiliation, so I chose to pursue this position as an independent candidate,” said Beitzel, 60, who is married to wife Kim. They have three adult sons. Beitzel touts his “extensive and unmatched” professional experience as a municipal lawyer representing numerous cities — including Oakwood, Huber Heights and Dayton — as both a legal adviser and a trial lawyer representing cities in jury cases in state and federal court. He has served as a board member of the Family Abuse Shelter since 1995, was president and currently is a member of the Troy Optimist Club, and from 1995 to 2001 was an adviser to the Troy High School Mock Trial team. He is a former chair and currently a member of the Miami County Bar Association’s Ethics & Grievance Committee, and member of the Ohio State Bar Association’s Lawyers Assistance Committee and the Dayton Bar Association. Beitzel also has recently and publicly questioned past “unacceptable” practices by the law director’s office and said if elected he will make “necessary changes.” Noting the city law director appoints the prosecutors for the Miami County Municipal Court, he said Miami County pays the city of Troy $120,000 each year for full-time prosecutors at the Courthouse, according to records he obtained from the city through a public records request. He said for that sum, prosecutors should be available in the courthouse during weekday business hours, but currently are not. He vowed they will be if he is elected. In addition, he questions a $210,000 “slush fund” for the law director that is budgeted this year for a line item labeled “attorneys.” He said the law director has provided no verifiable accounting to the city for

those expenses and has not named the attorneys who are receiving compensation. “Why does the law director have no transparent accounting? What specific attorneys are receiving this money? What specific work (time records?) was performed by each of these unknown attorneys to earn the money they took? Why does the law director not provide an accounting that tells the taxpayers this information? The law places restrictions on who can receive law director monies. The law director budget is not supposed to be an unaccountable “slush fund” for a law firm,” Beitzel wrote in response to questions from the Troy Daily News. “It is time for transparent accounting of the hundreds of thousands of dollars that pass through the law director’s hands. I will provide this public accounting. It’s the right thing to do,” Beitzel said. JAMES LIVINGSTON James Livingston has practiced law in Troy for 40 years and is a principal in the downtown firm f o Shipman, Dixon and Livingston. He said he is seeking to continue LIVINGSTON the longtime tradition of attorneys from that firm serving as city law director. Current law director Grant Kerber is an attorney with the firm and former longtime city law director McGregor Dixon, who served from 1980-2009, also is a principal in the firm. A former Miami County prosecuting attorney for 24 years, Livingston said when he learned that neither the Republicans nor Democrats were nominating a candidate, he decided to run as an independent. “As a resident and taxpayer of the City of Troy, I was concerned about who would be the law director for Troy for the next four years. This is an important and crucial position in city government that requires, for the best interest of the city and the citizens of Troy, an experienced and qualified attorney. I discovered that no other Troy attorney who could run as an independent comes close to my experience and qualifications for

the law director’s job, so I decided to step up and seek the office,” Livingston said. He noted that last year, the city law director’s office handled more than 10,000 traffic and criminal cases in the Miami County Municipal Court. “No other candidate, despite what they claim, can come close to my legal experience and the support which I have available to me from my law firm,” he said. Livingston also addressed Beitzel’s charges, saying: “Criticisms first raised two weeks before an election should be viewed with extreme skepticism. The current Municipal Court prosecutors are respected by law enforcement and the municipal court judges. The Miami County Prosecuting Attorney has indicated that he is very satisfied with the work of the current municipal court prosecutors. They have been thoroughly and properly trained and are doing an excellent job. They can always be reached at the courthouse, by walking across the street to our law office, or by phone. All Miami County police agencies have their personal phone numbers and the home phone number of the law director himself. “All prosecutors are available 24/7. They are often contacted at home and at night on prosecutorial matters. I want to retain the expertise of the current prosecutors, and, if elected, I intend to keep them, because that is the right thing to do,” Livingston said. “There is nothing nefarious or sinister in the arrangement for payment of prosecutorial services in Municipal Court. The present arrangement was the result of collaboration between the city of Troy and Miami County officials. This arrangement has been reviewed every year by these agencies, since its initial adoption several years ago. The city of Troy is audited by the state of Ohio every four years, and this arrangement has been approved at every audit,” Livingston added. Livingston, 68, graduated from The Ohio State University College of Law, followed by two years service in the U.S. Navy Judge Advocate General Corps. An Urbana native, he and his wife Carolyn have four adult children.

Health Partners participates in CVS’s free flu shot progam For the Troy Daily News

TROY

CVS Caremark has partnered with Direct Relief USA to offer up to $6 million in free flu shots to community clinics and health center patients who lack health insurance. Health Partners Free Clinic in Troy, 1300 N. County Road 25-A, Troy, is one of the more than 400 participating clinics and health centers across the country. Uninsured individuals from the clinics’ existing patient populations are provided with a free flu shot voucher, which is redeemable at any CVS/pharmacy or MinuteClinic location. A complete list of participating locations at which flu shot vouchers are now available for current uninsured patients of the clinics and health centers may be found at www.cvs.com/flu. Flu vaccinations are available at more than 7,200 CVS/pharmacy locations and nearly 600 MinuteClinic locations inside select CVS/pharmacy stores. Flu shots are being provided by CVS pharmacists and MinuteClinic nurse practitioners and physician assistants every day, including evenings and weekends, with no appointment necessary. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that everyone ages six months and older get a flu shot as soon as possible, including those who were vaccinated last season. Over the past three years, CVS Caremark has committed to providing up to $14 million in free flu shots to patients in need. “Our goal this flu season is to make CVS/pharmacy and MinuteClinic the most convenient place to get a flu shot,

which includes making sure that cost is not a barrier to this important preventive health care service,” said Larry Merlo, president and CEO of CVS Caremark. Direct Relief USA is a non-profit organization that works with 1,100 clinics and health centers in all 50 states, providing them with free medications and supplies for their low-income and uninsured patients. MinuteClinic flu shots are administered in a private exam room and CVS/pharmacy flu shots are conducted behind a privacy screen in the pharmacy area. Nurse practitioners and physician assistants can vaccinate patients who are 18 months or older except in Massachusetts, where the minimum age is 24 months. The minimum age for vaccination by a pharmacist varies by state. Check with your local CVS/pharmacy or visit www.cvs.com/flu to determine minimum vaccination age by state. CVS/pharmacy and MinuteClinic also offer the Fluzone® High Dose vaccine for people ages 65 and older. This higher dose vaccine is designed to provide better protection from influenza to this age group. For more information about flu vaccinations at CVS/pharmacy and MinuteClinic, see: www.cvs.com/flu, www.minuteclinic.com/flu, or call 1-888FLU-SHOT.

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

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP The San Diego Union-Tribune on the Occupy movement: We are sympathetic to some of the Occupy movement’s strong views. Big banks and Wall Street promoted a preposterous narrative: We can just keep lending money to homeowners without vetting their ability to pay because housing prices will always go up. Then they seemed to escape much responsibility when the housing bubble burst and killed the economy. That is absolutely a cause for deep and enduring frustration. … If they want to achieve their goals, they should do what protest movements have done historically: Get organized, promote your views and go to the polls to support those whose values you share. It worked for the tea party. Occupy leaders say they speak for many, even most Americans. If that is so, they should formalize their movement. Alas, some protesters reject this approach, appearing to believe that the power of their ideas and the symbolism of their occupations will spark national change. It is not cynical to think that is naive. It is common sense. The New York Post on Herman Cain and reports of sexual harassment charges: Looks like the political world really is starting to take Herman Cain seriously: Anonymous “sexual harassment” charges have been exhumed against him by Politico, the left-tilting, Web-centric press organization. How else to explain the hit piece, which reported that Cain — now riding high in the polls — was the target of sexual-harassment allegations some 15 years ago while head of the National Restaurant Association? Cain strongly denies the allegations, insisting that “I have never sexually harassed anyone” — though he acknowledges that a complaint had been made. And he says the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission investigated and found “no basis” to support the charge. However, the eatery trade group apparently delivered a “five-figure” payday to the two women who brought the charges. Cain says he was unaware of any payments, largely because he’d recused himself and left the matter to the group’s counsel and human-resources department. But, he said, “it couldn’t have been very much money, or I would have had to know about it.” As for the story itself, Cain was adamant: It’s “a witch hunt.” Clearly, questions remain unanswered. Politico certainly is no help — one of the story’s authors declared: “We’re just not going to get into the details of exactly what happened with these women beside what’s in the story.” Which leaves Cain trying to explain — what exactly? Southeast Missourian, Cape Girardeau, on the St. Louis Cardinals: Tens of thousands of fans recently lined the streets of downtown St. Louis to see the World Champion St. Louis Cardinals in a parade route that ended with a celebration inside a packed Busch Stadium. The parade was an exclamation point on an incredible season that included a historic World Series, including an epic Game 6. … Some may argue that baseball is just a game. To some extent, that is true. However, baseball can teach us a great deal. The Cardinals never gave up. Even when the hope of making postseason play in August was minimal at best, the Redbirds put forth their best effort. This year, that effort led to a World Series title. Cardinals manager Tony La Russa recently announced his retirement. After 16 seasons with the Cardinals and leading the organization to three World Series appearances and two titles, the future Hall of Fame manager holds a special place in Cardinals history. In addition to finding a new manager, the organization will have other key decisions to make about the 2012 season. But for now, it’s time to enjoy a World Series championship.

This is In reality they almost health insurance that is betalways require some matching ter than the majority of Tipp

citizens have available to them or could afford to pay for through their employers. At a time when many Americans have seen health insurance for working fulltime jobs disappear, Tipp council — which meets twice a month — steadfastly refuses to eliminate this expensive personal perk. Each council member drawing the full, subsidized health insurance plus collecting his/her $1,000 per year compensation costs taxpayers approximately $15,000 annually or $60,000 per four-year term. If every council member drew this maximum benefit (which, thankfully, three members have refused) it would cost taxpayers about $420,000 over the four-year tenure for the entire council. And, once again, they meet twice a month. No wonder some keep running for reelection. The council members taking the taxpayer-paid insurance say it's their right, they deserve it, and it only amounts to a small percentage of the city’s budget. The way I figure it, if all council members exercised their “right” to insurance, in four years they could have paid over one-third the cost of the new fire station addition. A small percentage? Maybe, if it’s taxpayer money and you are on the receiving end. Only one of the current candidates for council has definitely promised NOT to take the health insurance and vote to eliminate this taxpayer-funded luxury, if elected. That candidate is Mike McFarland. Mike is a Tippecanoe High School graduate, a 12-year member of the Planning Board, and a member of the Capital Improvement Program Committee who has served this community for many years. He understands that serving on council is not a “job” deserving of excessive compensation but a privilege and public service. I urge everyone to consider voting for Mike McFarland.

DOONESBURY

Mothers, it’s time to pay it back to the others The past week my Facebook page has been splattered with a cut-out and scanned copy of one of those newspaper “ask-so-and-so” columns. I’m not even sure what newspaper it came from, what columnist addressed it or when it was even published (for all I know it’s 10 years old). A curious woman wrote in to the newspaper columnist asking something maybe a lot of people want to say, but don’t. She wanted to know what exactly a stay-athome mom spends her time doing and why her new-mom friend had suddenly dropped off the face of the Earth. In simple terms, she wants to know where her friend went. The response was a rather harsh one, albeit somewhat deserved since the writer had a less-than-tactful way of asking her question, summing up that her new-mom friend is now responsible for an entire human being and hardly has 10 minutes a day to dedicate to her own wants, needs and desires, let alone those of her friends. Basically, the columnist told this non-mom that if she was a “real” friend she wouldn’t be making the new mom feel bad about missing a few phone calls here

Amanda Stewart Troy Daily News Columnist and there. And while I’m not saying that anyone is right or wrong here, I can’t help but feel a little twinge of empathy for all those women out there who are stuck having all of us new moms as friends. Trust me ladies, I get it, being a mom is hard work, I am one myself. It’s physically tiring, it’s emotionally exhausting and it’s mentally draining. It’s tending to someone else’s needs before your own. Always. Being a parent is a beautiful and wonderful thing that should be celebrated. And chances are, you’ve let every single person in your entire life know how amazing, smart and perfect your little one is. Chances are, you’ve let every single person in your entire life know far more than they’d ever want to know about

— Mike Jackson Tipp City

your child. When you become a mom, it’s like you’re immediately welcomed into this new club you were never, ever allowed to be a part of before. You’re a member of this army of women who have survived 10 long months of pregnancy, an intense 18-hour labor and the ordeal of raising a child. You’ve got built-in best friends you never knew you had. Some of the women whom I’ve had the honor to become friends with since becoming a mom have become crucial people in my life. From midnight phone calls and texts about my daughter’s scary cough or their son’s high fever, to play dates at the grocery store and war stories about diaper explosions, I speak to many of my mom friends more than some members of my family. A lot of times, even more than the women in my life who have been there for me for the last decade, my best friends who don’t have kids. Those same best friends that drove four hours to be at your baby shower, only to turn around and have to drive four more back so they could be at work; the one who listened to you gush about your perfect baby girl the day

before they got married (whose wedding you missed because you were giving birth) and the ones who promised to love your children like their own and guide them in case you wouldn’t be around to. Those same friends, who before we had our team of mom friends, listened to you blabber on and on about milk “coming in” and all the other bodily fluids associated with having a baby, are usually the ones we neglect most, whether we’re “too tired” to call them back or feel like “they just don’t understand anymore.” They probably don’t understand completely. But what we as moms don’t seem to completely understand either is that these friends didn’t listen to our yammering because they genuinely wanted to hear about our baby’s 15 bowel movements in one day, they did it because they’re our friends and they understand it’s important to us. So why don’t we offer them that same understanding and realize that sometimes, a 10-minute phone call is important to them, too.

There will be two routes — a 5K route that loops out of town and back and a shorter route that remains inside the village limits. Dogs are invited to participate, as long as owners clean up after them. Those who arrive a little early can pick up a route map and afterward can join others at the coffee bar when they have completed their route. The cost is a donation for the food pantry. For those who would like to purchase an official event T-shirt, call Jacque at (937) 430-7204 or Mike Bolton at (937) 409-7204.

Religion and politics mix goes back to Revolution at the Divinity School, Byrd talked about the influence of colonial-era preachers like George Whitefield, who inspired thousands with his showman-like presentations in fields and public squares. “It was said he could reduce an audience to tears simply by pronouncing the word ‘Mesopotamia,’” Byrd said. Even the normally tight-fisted Benjamin Franklin, in his autobiog-

raphy, speaks of being coaxed out of all the money in his pocket by Whitefield’s convincing delivery during a collection at the end of a sermon. According to Byrd, preachers like Whitefield brought a change in consciousness that made possible hugely audacious projects like The Revolution and the construction of a republic. As enthusiasm for The

Revolution spread, preachers introduced politics into their sermons, with titles like, “The fate of bloodthirsty oppressors and God’s tender care of his distressed people,” delivered in Lexington, Mass., in 1776 by Jonas Clark. In turn, politicians used religion and the Bible to convince people of the justness of their cause. Especially popular was the story of Exodus, in which Moses leads the enslaved

Jewish people out of the land of Egypt toward the promised land. In the rhetoric of the time, Great Britain was Egypt and George Washington was Moses as he is called in numerous eulogies of the day. Thomas Paine, author of the immensely popular pamphlet “Common Sense,” was no religious fanatic, but he also pointed to the Jewish people of the Old Testament to make his

argument for a republic. In the early parts of the Bible, the Jews had no kings and there were no wars, he argued. Kings were an import from other cultures and led to problems for the Jews. The moral? “God doesn’t want monarchy,” Byrd said. Byrd’s book, “The Bible and Wartime Patriotism in Revolutionary America,” will be published by Oxford University Press in March.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — If there seems to be a lot of religion in politics this electoral season, at least it has a long history. Vanderbilt University’s James Byrd, an assistant professor of American religious history, says the American Revolution was fueled by a new rhetorical style that came straight from the revivals of the first Great Awakening.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Start the healing process with an apology Dear Annie: My cousin "Kelly" went from a rotten marriage to a horrible relationship, with no break in between. During this past year, her boyfriend has cheated, lied and threatened her. I was her shoulder to cry on and finally had too much and told her how stupid the whole situation was. This guy doesn't love her. He uses her. He has nowhere else to go because he pays so much child support for the four children he has from different women that he has nothing left to live on. Kelly feels sorry for him. Unfortunately, now that I've told her exactly what everyone else in our family was saying behind her back, I'm the bad guy, and no one is speaking to me. There is a family graduation coming up, and we all will be together. Do I act like nothing happened or, better yet, tell them all to grow up? I don't want to cause problems for the graduate, but this is ridiculous. What do you propose? — The West Dear West: Honesty is not always the best policy, especially when it accomplishes nothing but hurt feelings. It obviously felt good to get this off your chest, but it cost you. Telling all the relatives to "grow up" will cost you a little more. There are diplomatic ways to get your point across, and if you don't want to alienate the entire family and ruin the graduation, you might try utilizing some of them. Start with, "I'm so sorry I created a rift. I was simply exhausted from listening to Kelly, and I took it out on her. Please forgive me." Dear Annie: Several months ago, I lost the love of my life. We were in the Caribbean for my son's wedding when a blood clot made its way to her heart and lungs, and in seven minutes, the woman I had been married to for 33 years was dead on the streets of Nassau. Once back home, my friends and family surrounded me. One by one, they asked me to their homes for good food and caring company. During two of these visits, however, the hosts turned to me with straight faces and said they "knew what I was going through" because they each went through a divorce. I could not believe my ears. How could they compare a divorce with the death of a beloved spouse? When I attended group grief counseling sessions, several in the group mentioned they had heard similar remarks. I am here to scream out loud that in no way is a divorce anywhere close to the death of a loved one. No matter the amount of pain, you can see your divorced spouse if you want to, maybe even reconnect someday. I will never, ever be able to touch or see my love again. Death is forever. — The Saddest Man in the World Dear Sad: Our deepest condolences on your loss. Your wellmeaning friends and relatives do not intend to minimize your grief, which is considerable. They are simply trying to connect with the pain of being alone. But you are right — these things are not the same. We appreciate your telling our readers to be careful not to make such comparisons in their efforts to empathize. Dear Annie: "Unhappy 80Year-Old Woman" rightly gave power of attorney to one of her children when she was ill, but then the child sold her belongings and still controls her money and her mail. Please tell her she has the right to revoke that power of attorney or grant a limited power of attorney. This is a form of elder abuse, intentional or not. — D.N. in Toledo Dear Toledo: Thank you for the excellent suggestion. Dear Readers: Don't forget to replace the batteries in your smoke alarms when you set your clocks back one hour.

HINTS FROM HELOISE

From trash bags to grease spots Dear Heloise: I began reading Heloise in 1962 as a newlywed. Reading the recent hints from “Original Heloise” readers, I just had to share a few of my favorites, too: • Fold down the edges of a paper sack and punch a hole near the top to hang the bag from your vacuum cleaner. As you clean each room, place trash inside the bag. Saves you steps, and the bag can be thrown away. I also have used empty bread bags or whatever. I even have used a second bag for smaller items that belonged in other rooms.

Hints from Heloise Columnist • If leftover veggies are only enough for one serving, place them in a freezer container and freeze. Eventually, you’ll have a nice container of layers of veggies to use when making homemade soups. • A spot of fat or grease on

your dress or blouse? Gently rub in baby powder and let sit until you do your laundry. This has never failed me when grease splatters and I am not wearing an apron. • Place breakfast dishes in the sink, then fill with dish detergent and the hottest water possible. Let them sit for 20 or 30 minutes while making beds and tidying up. The dishes are then very easy to clean. Thank you, Heloise, for continuing your mother’s great work. — Katrina P., Live Oak, Texas Great Heloise hints (from my

mother, the Original Heloise, decades ago) that are helpful today! It’s amazing how a simple idea or hint can ease some stress, clean the mess and are just plain timeless. — Hugs, Heloise PET PAL Dear Readers: Norena in Springfield, Ohio, emailed us a picture of her 15-year-old Rottweiler/Lab mix, Boomer. Norena says: “He’s lying on his blanket on the couch cracking a smirky smile! He smiles like this when we come home.” To see Boomer and our other Pet Pals, visit www.Heloise.com and click on “Pets.” — Heloise

HOROSCOPE Saturday, Nov. 5, 2011 If you have several significant goals you wish to accomplish in the next year, networking could help you weld them together and enable you to go after them collectively. It’ll do wonders for your self-esteem when they’re in the can. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — When mingling with others, there is a chance you could discover a new and very appealing social interest. It’ll be something fascinating that proves to be stimulating for the moment. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Although the media is a good source for interesting news, so might be many of the fascinating bulletins you’ll receive at the dinner table. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Keep your lines of communication open, because someone with a heavy load of scuttlebutt will be trying to get in touch with you. You’ll want to hear what she or he has to say. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — This is an excellent day to put your business and personal records in order. If you examine your budget, you’ll see how you can cut corners and get more mileage from your money. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Assign yourself a long list of things to do, if no one else is doing this for you. It is likely to be one of those days when you’ll need a packed schedule in order to feel productive. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Use your subtle sense of humor to get your points across in a testy situation, or if you’re with someone who needs to laugh a little to get past a tough predicament. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Someone with whom you recently had a misunderstanding is hoping to hear from you. Both parties need to forgive and forget, without pointing any fingers. Be the big person who steps forward. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Keep your tactics and methods flexible so each can be altered to suit the conditions at hand, and you’ll have no trouble achieving something very important. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — If you’ve been falling behind in acquiring new knowledge that’s necessary for a top-shelf project, now is the time to do something about that. Catch up with all reasonable speed. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Whether you decide to engage in a joint endeavor or take care of your own personal needs depends on the importance of each, not on which you would prefer to do. Choose wisely. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Keep your back to the wall, because someone is trying to manipulate you into making a decision that favors her or him. Don’t let anyone pressure you into going against your desires. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — People in general can be a bit sensitive and touchy, so if you don’t want your production line shut down, it’s important to make everyone feel appreciated and significant.

the train ride according to what they determined it was worth compared to a new train and track going for $25,000 by a Florida amusement ride manufacturer. During last week’s Trick or Treat at the mall, Henthorn had mall employees pass out copies of a note she had written letting families know the train would not be back at the mall. The note got mixed reaction from the public. with several messages coming into the Piqua Daily Call with concerns about the note being “libelous” toward the Deal family. “I have not had any reaction from the note being passed out,” Henthorn said. She also said she was “hoping if anyone who knows Paul would try to convince him” to bring the train ride back for another season. So for this holiday season, the area where the train ride stood will host a 22-foot tree and holiday decorations. The mall will still feature Santa visits, as well. And in the near future, Henthorn said, mall owners are looking into installing a soft sculptured playland for kids, similar to play areas at The Mall at Fairfield Commons in Beavercreek and Polaris Mall in Columbus.

Stylist and assistant manager Brittney Berryhill, along with fellow stylist and twin sister Brooke, said she’s excited to bring her clientele to her new home at Studio 45 and welcome new faces and follicles to work with. “I was Colt’s hairdresser at another salon, so he’d always joke with me about wanting to open a salon — now we are actually here!” Berryhill said. “I love working with my customers and I love what I do, so we are excited to get started.” Berryhill said the wide range of services and the laid-back, friendly atmosphere is what she is excited about at Studio 45. “The environment is different,” she said. “We all love what we do and have a good time with our clients.

a different atmosphere than the rest of the competition.” Hines said the easiest part of opening the business was coming up with its name. “Every time someone meets me and I tell them my name is Colt, they always make a joke about Colt 45 — the gun, so that’s where the 45 comes from,” Hines said with a laugh.

The children’s train ride at Miami Valley Centre Mall will no longer be chugging around the track. According to Jim Hershey of Troy, who is part owner of the popular children’s ride with his fatherin-law Paul Deal of Piqua, illness has forced Deal to shut down the train. “He’s (Deal) not capable of running it right now,” Hershey said Wednesday. The train is actually up for sale on eBay. Hershey said the family told mall manager Peggy Henthorn this past spring that Easter 2011 would be the final run for the train, which he said brought families from as far away as Canada to the mall during the holidays. “We told Peggy that Paul was getting too ill to run it,” Hershey said. “And I work two other jobs.” Henthorn said this week that she met with Deal and Hershey recently to try to convince them to bring the ride back for the holidays, which included the mall’s Halloween Trick or Treat night through the month of December. “I asked him (Deal) to come in with his son-in-law to discuss other options,” Henthorn said. “We talked for quite a while. I offered to rent the train, hire personnel and cover the insurance.” According to Hershey, Henthorn also offered to buy the train, but the family and mall management could not come to an agreement. Hershey said his attorney advised him not to enter into a contract to lease the train to the mall due to liability concerns. Hershey said the family had a $1 million insurance policy that they keep year

Mayfield Arrested CATAWBA, N.C. (AP) — Former NASCAR driver Jeremy Mayfield, barred from the association since 2009 for a failed drug test, was arrested at his western North Carolina home and charged with possession of methamphetamine, and police said Wednesday he might face more charges. Mayfield was arrested Tuesday night and charged possessing 1.5 grams of meth, according to records from the Catawba County Sheriff’s Office. The 42year-old Mayfield posted $3,000 bond and was scheduled to appear in district court Wednesday. A call to the clerk’s office in Newton was not immediately returned Wednesday. Detectives from neighboring Lincoln County said roughly $100,000 worth of items that belonged to businesses in that county also were found at Mayfield’s home, and they plan to charge him with possession of stolen goods. The Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office says Mayfield had heavy equipment parts, welders and welding accessories, truck parts, an engraving machine and other items that they say were reported stolen from two businesses in late 2010 and early 2011. An attorney for Mayfield said his client denies all the charges, and the search was executed based on “baseless allegations by an unreliable source.”

Hendrick In Hospital CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — NASCAR team owner Rick Hendrick has been hospitalized to treat injuries he suffered when his private plane ran off the runway during a landing. Hendrick Motorsports said Wednesday an evaluation in Charlotte showed Hendrick had four broken ribs and a broken shoulder. He was admitted Tuesday to a local hospital to better manage his pain, and is expected to be released by the end of the week. Hendrick, his wife and two pilots were on the Gulfstream G150 that had brake issues upon landing Monday night at Key West International Airport. The plane is co-owned by Jimmie Johnson and normally shuttles the five-time defending NASCAR champion and his family to and from races.

Stewart claims sponsor

AP FILE PHOTO

In this July 10, 2010 file photo, NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver Jimmie Johnson, left, listens to Tony Stewart before the start of the LifeLock 400 race at ChicagoLand Speedway in Joliet, Ill. Needing to almost win out for a chance at his sixth consecutive Sprint Cup championship, Jimmie Johnson had every opportunity to make that happen after Tony Stewart passed him less than three laps from the finish of Sunday's crash-filled race at Martinsville Speedway.

Respect is everything Appreciated among NASCAR contenders By The Associated Press Needing to almost win out for a chance at his sixth consecutive Sprint Cup championship, Jimmie Johnson had every opportunity to make that happen after Tony Stewart passed him less than three laps from the finish of Sunday’s crash-filled race at Martinsville Speedway. He opted not to use a bump-andrun to win — and Stewart knew he wouldn’t. In the final three races of the Chase for the championship, many drivers in contention profess a respect for fellow drivers, and a sense that what you give, you also deserve to get. Stewart launched into a monologue after the race about how drivers who insist on wrecking other cars should instead be placed in a boxing ring after races and allowed to settle their differences there. He added that knowing he had Johnson’s respect was critical at the finish. “Could Jimmie have hauled it off in the corner, blown the corner to try to take us down? Absolutely,” he said. “He could have done that to anybody. He didn’t do that to us. “I think he knows we respect him and have that level of respect.” Johnson acknowledged thinking about it, though, but said he realized that with Stewart in better position to win the championship at

this point, he was instead “minding my Ps and Qs.” “I just wanted to do the right thing and unfortunately got beat in the process,” he said. There is definitely a grey area, said points leader Carl Edwards, but the questions that bounce around in your head have more to do with who you are racing than anything else. Even then, he said, he doesn’t want to wreck someone to win. “Right now, I can’t say if we’re at Homestead (the final race of the season) and it’s the last lap and the guy in front of me, all I have to do is get in front of him to win the championship. I don’t know that there’s anybody right now that I would spin out,” he said. He was quick to add, however, that he’s not on the final lap at Homestead just yet — with the championship there for the taking and months to celebrate before a driver can retaliate on the track. Edwards will take an 8-point lead over Stewart and a 21-point edge over Kevin Harvick into Texas. “I think you can only race people based on your opinion of them and make the best decision you can,” he said. “But personally, for me, I try really hard. I feel guilty if I do something that I feel is kind of wrong or outside the rules, so I try not to do that stuff. I’d rather win fair. That’s just the way I am and I think that’s the way most of these guys out here

are.” Most, but not all — and maybe perspective has something to do with it, too. While Edwards has the lead, Harvick has a big hill to climb in three races. Johnson, for example, had a dominant car at Martinsville, and Edwards raced in the mid-20s most of the day, giving Johnson a shot at a huge gain. Instead, with Edwards rallying last to finish ninth and Johnson hanging on for second, he gained just seven points to get within 43. Harvick would need to gain that much in every race to catch Edwards. “What’s fair in my mind is probably not what’s fair in the guys’ (minds) in the first two spots,” he said before gaining five points at Martinsville. “It’s just a matter of doing what you have to do for your team and sometimes fair in the end doesn’t win the championship.” Edwards has a hard time thinking that way, at least outside the moment. “I don’t know. I’ve learned the hard way. You’ve got to be careful about wrecking people on purpose,” he said. “You never know what the outcome of that will be.” Harvick? Sounds as though he’d take his chances. “It’s one of those things where you do what you have to do to try to win the championship and you suffer the consequences later,” he said.

KANNAPOLIS, N.C. (AP) — Tony Stewart won yet another race Tuesday, when he beat several other teams courting a sponsor new to NASCAR. Stewart signed Quicken Loans to a nine-race deal for Ryan Newman next season, a sponsorship agreement that gives StewartHaas Racing its most stable funding package since Stewart became co-owner in 2009. “We still have some gaps, but this is the best (sponsorship) position we’ve ever been in,” Stewart said. “This was months in the making. These deals are very long processes, and they met with a lot of teams. They did a lot of homework. When you are as competitive as I am, it’s great to be able to beat all those other teams to get this deal done.” The two-time NASCAR champion is coming off Sunday’s win at Martinsville Speedway, his third since the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship began. The victory moved him within eight points of series leader Carl Edwards, and with three races remaining, his confidence is soaring. Stewart, who wrote off his title chances days before the Sept. 19 Chase opener, repeated Tuesday his warning that Edwards better be on his toes during this final stretch. “If they aren’t, they are making a mistake,” Stewart said. “I’m not worried about what they are doing. I don’t have to. It’s nice to feel like you can control your own destiny.” Stewart is historically one of the streakiest drivers in NASCAR, and when he gets on a roll, he’s hard to stop. And he insisted he won’t be distracted by his off-track responsibilities as a team owner. Stewart is trying to become the first driverowner since Alan Kulwicki in 1992 to win the NASCAR championship. His responsibilities as team owner require him to search for funding for Newman’s car, as well as the new third team he’ll field next season for Danica Patrick. Patrick is slated to run a limited Cup schedule, and SHR should announce the bulk of it this weekend at Texas.

Rahal’s small gesture a big gain for Wheldon fund CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — It started with a small gesture by Graham Rahal, who wanted to raise money for Dan Wheldon’s family by auctioning off his helmet from the IndyCar season finale. He announced his intentions on Twitter and the response from the motorsports community was immediate and overwhelming. It didn’t take Rahal long to realize he alone couldn’t handle the outpouring of support for

Wheldon, the two-time Indianapolis 500 winner killed in the Oct. 16 race at Las Vegas. More than $200,000 had been raised by Wednesday, the ninth day of the auction, with many big ticket items yet to be posted. One hundred percent of the proceeds will go to a trust fund established by IndyCar for Wheldon’s wife and two young sons. “I thought we would have a lot of support and a pretty good turnout of

people saying ‘We’ll give this’ or ‘We’ll give that,’ but for it to get as large as it has nobody ever expected this,” Rahal said Wednesday. “It’s been pretty cool. I think it shows how tightknit the sports community is overall, it isn’t just racing.” Rahal didn’t have any idea what it would become when he decided to auction off his helmet, which had a special design to celebrate the Las Vegas finale. Pledges of memora-

bilia from other IndyCar drivers came within minutes of him posting his plan on Twitter, and within a day, it had transcended far beyond their small community. “It really went crazy, and I think right away we realized this was getting to a size that was more than my girlfriend and I could run out of the house,” said Rahal, a driver for Service Central Chip Ganassi Racing. “We had everybody sending items to the

house and it was like, ‘Holy smokes, what are we going to do now?’” NASCAR drivers began donating items within a day, and before the week was over, Rahal had a pledge for a Tour de France jersey from Lance Armstrong, a surfboard from Kelly Slater and interest from celebrities and athletes around the world. It turned into a fast lesson on what can be accomplished through social media.

Buccs stop here Covington downed by Coldwater, 31-7 BY ROB KISER Ohio Community Media rkiser@dailycall.com

Lehman prepared for St. Henry It is a rare situation when the Lehman Catholic volleyball team is an underdog to anyone. But Lehman coach Greg Snipes understands that’s the role the Lady Cavaliers find themselves in today’s D-IV regional final with St. Henry. See Page 19.

Dave Miller could deal with losing to a very good Coldwater football team 31-7 in the opening round of the Division V, Region 20 playoffs Friday night at Smith Field to close the season at 10-1. Coldwater (8-3) will play Versailles Friday at a site to be announced Sunday. The toughest part for him was saying goodbye to seniors Isaiah Winston, Brandon Powell, Darren Clark, Steve Blei, Sam Christian and Sam Earick. “Those six guys have provided so much leadership for this team,” the Covington football

COVINGTON coach said. “And I think the underclassmen picked up on that. They have meant so much to the program. “I didn’t want it to end like this. I didn’t want it to end. This is one of the most enjoyable seasons I have had and this team really accomplished a lot.” And the score is deceiving from the sense that it was a very close football game for the entire first half. But a couple key plays swung the game Coldwater’s way and OHIO COMMUNITY MEDIA PHOTO/MIKE ULLERY the Buccs couldn’t recover.

Trojans ■ CONTINUED FROM 17 physical and stay on the line of scrimmage. They are a very physical team. They use three running backs that they alternate and just keep pounding at you behind their bigger kids. If we don’t come out and play them physical, we are going to have problems with them.” Upper Arlington’s offensive line is anchored by 6foot-7, 270-pound senior tackle Shane Henry, who has made a verbal commitment to play football at the University of Toledo. He’s

joined on the line by 6-foot3, 270 pound center Spencer Luallen. Those two have helped clear the way for an offense that has rushed for more than 2,300 yards this season, splitting the carries amongst running backs Gus Ackley, Ryan McSheffrey and Francis Wilamosky. While the Golden Bears prefer to pound the ball, however, they are hardly one-dimensional. The running game sets up playaction passes by senior quarterback David Smith. His favorite target is Ohio

State recruit Frank Epitopolous, who — despite missing four games with an injury — had 18 catches for 396 yards and six touchdowns this season. A key for the Trojans will be the return of senior nosetackle Alec Sears. Sears suffered a broken hand in Week 9 against Miamisburg and sat out Troy’s 53-6 win over Sidney in the final game of the regular season. The 6-foot, 278-pound Sears is the Trojans’ most physical offensive lineman, and should he be ready to play

tonight — hand cast and all — he’ll be counted on heavily to battle Upper Arlington’s massive offensive line. “Getting Sears back will be a key,” Nolan said. “He’s physical enough to go in there and battle their monsters at the point of attack.” Defensively, the Golden Bears are led by a trio of talented linebackers, all three of whom were named All-Ohio Capital Conference. Jack Trabue, a 6-foot-1, 207-pound senior, led the team in tackles and finished the regular season

■ High School Football Playoffs

with seven tackles for loss and a pair of sacks. Tyler Pfister, a 6-foot-2, 201pound senior, had 79 tackles and seven tackles for loss. Jared Drake, a 6-foot2, 206-pound sophomore, had 95 tackles and six tackles for loss. In the defensive backfield, Upper Arlington is led by All-OCC selection Garrett Powers, a 6-foot-2, 189-pound senior who finished the regular season 44 tackles and four interceptions. Along the defensive line, 6-foot-1, 227-pound sophomore Noah Spielman

— son of legendary Ohio State linebacker Chris Spielman — is at defensive tackle, while 6-foot-4, 231pound senior Grayson Fisher is at defensive end. Fisher is being recruited by at least a half-dozen Ivy League programs. “They’ve got great team speed on defense,” Nolan said. “And they’ve got great size on that side of the ball, too. Physically, they can maul you on defense if you let them. We can’t afford to let that happen.” Which will be a tall order, indeed.

Devils ■ CONTINUED FROM 17 City Park. “At the beginning of the year, not too many people gave us nine wins,” Tippecanoe coach Charlie Burgbacher said. “This group of seniors ends up 92 this year. For this particular group of kids, the kids came out and played hard.” Despite trailing 24-14 at the half after the Spartans (8-3) scored 24 unanswered in the second quarter, Tippecanoe fought back in the second half. The Devils took their first drive after the break 65 yards in 10 plays. Sophomore running back Jacob Hall had the key play, taking a third-and-5 run up the middle, bouncing off of the pile and breaking to the sideline for 20 yards before being hauled down at the Turpin 1. Quarterback Ben Hughes — also a sophomore — capped off the drive by sliding in on a 1yard bootleg on the next play to cut the Spartans’ lead to three. But that would be the last score of the game. Tippecanoe had a chance to tie the score on a 26-yard field goal attempt from the left hash mark early in the fourth quarter, but the kick was pulled wide left, leaving the Devils empty after a 10play, 70-yard drive that included a clutch 39-yard reception by senior Michael Collett. The Devils got the ball back with five minutes to play on their own 9, and Hughes completed two clutch third-and-long passes in a row, a 19-yarder to Collett on third-and-12 and a 13-yarder on thirdand-7 to sophomore Cameron Johnson, but Tippecanoe soon found itself on fourth-and-9 from its own 42. Hughes appeared to complete a pass for a first over the middle to Collett, but the Devils were called for an illegal shift before the play, the Spartans held on fourth-and-14 … and killed the clock from there. The Devils started the game on fire in the first quarter. After senior Alex Baker recovered a Turpin fumble on its first posses-

After the teams traded fumbles, the Devils cashed in again as Hall took a screen pass from Hughes on third-and-13 through a wall of Spartan tacklers and 65 yards to make it a 14-0 game after one. But the second quarter belonged to Turpin quarterback Connor Jansen. “They put the ball in his hands, and we were trying to stop too many other things,” Burgbacher said of Jansen. “There was a period in the second quarter where they capitalized on things. Their quarterback made big plays, and we didn’t stop him.” First, Jansen capped off a 10-play, 72-yard drive with a 6-yard touchdown scamper early in the second to cut the lead in half. After a Tippecanoe fumble, Jansen took it in from 16 yards out to even the score. Then Tippecanoe slipped on the ensuing kickoff return, sticking themselves with the ball at their own 3-yard line. A quick three-and-out later, Turpin again had a short field, Ryan Millikin took the ball 30 yards on two attempts down to the 1 — and Jansen punched it in on a sneak to give the Spartans their first lead

Tippecanoe’s Cameron Johnson (right) and Jacob Salyer (left) combine to bring down a Turpin ballcarrier Friday night. with 3:04 in the half. “It was like our game last week (a 49-7 loss to Springfield Shawnee),” Burgbacher said. “We couldn’t simulate anything they did in practice. The only thing we could do was simulate their formations. The speed and quickness, that’s hard to simulate without using your go-to guys — and then you run the risk of getting them hurt.” Another slip on the ensuing kick return pinned Tippecanoe at its own 9, the Devils went three-and-out again and Turpin turned it into a 30yard field goal by Shane Kelly with 2.4 seconds on the clock — a kick that

proved to be the game-winner. Hall — who led the Central Buckeye Conference Kenton Trail Division in rushing in the regular season — finished with a 120-yard effort on 24 carries and added a 65yard touchdown reception. Hughes threw for 160 yards and two touchdowns and added one on the ground. In the end, it was just one too many mistakes to overcome. ““We just needed to give ourselves an opportunity tonight, and we didn’t,” Burgbacher said. “We made some mistakes, dug ourselves a little hole and couldn’t overcome it.”

Cursed Hillis re-injures hamstring BEREA (AP) — Peyton Hillis burst through the line and pulled up suddenly after apparently hurting himself again. As his teammates looked on, Hillis slammed the ball to the ground and flung his orange helmet away in disgust. A miserable, misguided season had taken another bizarre twist. Hillis re-injured his left hamstring during practice on Friday, the latest moment of drama for the Browns bruising back whose second year with Cleveland has been one misadventure after the next. Hillis, who has missed Cleveland’s past two games with the injury, will likely sit out Sunday’s game at Houston yet another setback for the 25-year-old, who rushed for nearly 1,200 yards last season, endeared himself to Cleveland fans with his bulldozing style

and earned the cover of the “Madden NFL ‘12” video, a tribute some warned was a curse. In Hillis’ case, it’s been just that. Hillis had only returned to practice Thursday for the first time since last week. The Browns (3-4) had hoped he would be back to face the Texans and their No. 3 ranked defense. But it appears Hillis, who has rushed for only 211 yards amid weeks of distractions this season, will have to sit out another game. After getting an MRI, Hillis, who initially hurt his hamstring on Oct. 16 against Oakland, was dropped off at the Browns’ training facility Friday afternoon with his left leg heavily wrapped. He limped badly as he crossed the parking lot and entered the building, carrying the test results in his right hand.

He’s been staggering all season. Browns coach Pat Shurmur, who has spent the past few weeks devising game plans that didn’t include Hillis, said the team is prepared to play again without him. Hillis is listed as “questionable” on the Browns’ final injury report. Hillis’ season has played out like a daytime TV soap opera. His hopes of getting a long-term contract from the Browns, who have signed several veterans to extensions this season, became a public debate before Browns president Mike Holmgren and later Hillis declared there would be no more talk about it until after the season. Hillis also caused a stir when he decided to sit out a Sept. 25 game against Miami with a case of strep throat. That decision, which Hillis made on the advice of

his agent, raised the eyebrows of a few teammates who wondered if his contract played a factor. On top of that, Hillis got married in Arkansas during a work week, missing an injury treatment in the process, and then skipped a children’s Halloween charity event, blaming his absence on a “miscommunication” with his management. Also, TV cameras caught Hillis engaged in a competition on the field before last week’s game in San Francisco trying to throw footballs off the goal post’s crossbar. Those actions, and apparently some others, triggered a response from his teammates. According to a story published Friday by Yahoo! Sports, a group of players pulled Hillis aside Wednesday for an “intervention-style, air-clearing session.”

Covington’s Kyler Deeter tries to break a tackle during Friday night’s playoff game against Coldwater.

Buccs ■ CONTINUED FROM 17 half. With Coldwater leading 10-7, Covington faced a fourth-and-one from the Coldwater 43. A halfback pass went incomplete, giving the Cavaliers the ball on downs. “I will take the blame for that one,” Miller said. “That was probably a bad call. If we run it right at them, we probably make the first down.” After a pass interference moved the ball to the Covington 40, Coldwater quarterback Austin Bruns found Caleb Siefring for a 39-yard gain to the one and Drew Klosterman ran it in on the next play to make it 17-7 at the break after Otten’s PAT. The second half started with what looked like a big play for Covington, when the Buccs recovered an onside kick to start the half. But Covington couldn’t move the ball and Coldwater went 83 yards in seven plays, with Bruns rambling 33 yards for the score. Just like that, it was 24-7 after Otten’s kick. “We had opportunities in the first half,” Miller said. “The score at the end of the half hurt, but then we get the onside kick, but can’t do anything with it.” Coldwater would add a 3-yard TD run by Bruns for the final tally, as Covington never seriously threatened to score in the second half. “You have to give Coldwater credit,” Miller said. “That is a good foot-

ball team.” The game had started with the Buccs getting off to what could have been a disastrous start, fumbling on their own 15. To make matters worse, two plays later from the one, Coldwater fumbled but Cavalier lineman Jake Kramer recovered the ball in the end zone for a touchdown and Troy Otten added the PAT to make it 7-0. “We had some mistakes that hurt us,” Miller said. But a Coldwater mistake helped Covington tie the game. It appeared the Buccs would have to punt, but Coldwater roughed Dylan Owens, giving Covington a first down and keeping the drive alive. It would end up being a 16-play, 75-yard drive that took almost eight minutes off the clock before Trent Tobias found the end zone from four yards out and Blei adding the PAT. It was all Cavaliers after that. But Miller could take pride in what saw late in the game. Winston, who led Covington with 83 yards on 23 carries was running hard and breaking tackles, the kind of effort Miller saw from his team every Friday night. “Those are the kinds of things I am talking about,” Miller said. “The effort guys like Isaiah (Winston) and Sam (Christian) were giving out there. Those six seniors really meant a lot to this team.” Which is why it was so hard to say goodbye.

Threat of lost NBA season growing By The Associated Press The NBA’s owners and players are preparing to climb into the ring once again in their ongoing labor fight, and the latest round is shaping up as the most divisive yet. The two sides are scheduled to meet Saturday in New York with talks at a standstill, a group of players threatening to disband the union and a section of

owners digging in their heels on what they’re willing to offer to get a deal done. Only one thing appears certain; the threat of losing the 2011-12 season has never been greater. About 50 players held two conference calls this week to discuss decertification dissolving the union because they are unhappy with negotiations for a new collective bargaining agreement.

Rare situation for Lehman spikers BY ROB KISER Ohio Community Media rkiser@dailycall.com SIDNEY — It is a rare situation when the Lehman Catholic volleyball team is an underdog to anyone. But Lehman coach Greg Snipes understands that’s the role the Lady Cavaliers find themselves in today’s DIV regional final with St. Henry. The Redskins are 25-1, with their only loss coming to Division III’s No. 1 ranked team Miami East, while Lehman, the defending state champion, is 24-3 and ranked No. 2 in the state. And in the regular season meeting back in September, St. Henry prevailed 25-15, 25-16, 25-21. “I think they have to be considered the favorite,” Snipes said. “They won the

SIDNEY regular season match and haven’t lost to a Division IV school all year.” So, Snipes wouldn’t mind a little deja vu. Last year Marion Local was the three-time defending state champion and had beaten Lehman during the regular season — only to see Lehman shock them in three games in the regional final on the way to the program’s third state title. “That would be great if we were able to play a match like that again,” Snipes said. “Our girls seem to have that ability (to raise their game in big matches).” But, he knows a win today will not come easily. “There is no question, they (St. Henry) are a very good team,” Snipes said. “They have some size, but

really, they are a very wellbalanced team. They have a lot of girls back from last year.” At the same time, he said his team has something to prove. “I think the coaches and the players both felt like we didn’t play our best volleyball that night,” he said. “Now, we have a chance to show that.” The Lady Cavaliers also have the ability to mix things up. Five different players have at least 120 kills. Middles Ellie Waldsmith (197 kills, 68 blocks, 201 digs) and Paxton Hatcher (123 kills, 45 blocks) are a solid combo, while Morgan Schmitmeyer (197 kills), Lindsey Spearman (132 kills, 63 aces) and Andrea Thobe (189 kills, 471 assists, 44 aces) are all dangerous

And yet he feels some compassion for the Buckeyes, who have had to juggle lineups and confront embarrassing situations and questions for much of the last year because of several players’ boneheaded NCAA violations and the dishonesty of former coach Jim Tressel (since forced to resign). Yet the Buckeyes (5-3, 2-2) say all of the problems they’ve gotten through have actually made it easier to concentrate on the task at hand. “We can’t overlook any team,” Ohio State offensive lineman Mike Adams said. “We know a little bit about that. The whole country kind of overlooked us for a while.”

COLUMBUS (AP) — One of the coaches in today’s game between woeful Indiana and redhot Ohio State is feeling sorry for the other side. Surprise: It’s the Hoosiers’ Kevin Wilson. “I think (their coaches) are doing a good job in a difficult situation,” Wilson said this week, referring to interim coach Luke Fickell and his staff at Ohio State. Wilson should know about difficult situations. The Hoosiers (1-8, 0-5 Big Ten) have lost six in a row and are gushing points on defense, allowing 204 over their last four games yes, that’s 51 a game.

Libero Erica Paulus (354 digs) and defensive specialist Meghan Earhart (198) anchor the back row. “We want to be able to spread things around,” Snipes said. “That will be a key for us.” And the Lady Cavaliers aren’t likely to be rattled. Five of the eight girls in the regular rotation are back from last year and two more — Lindsey Spearman and Meghan Earhart — started in the state semifinals last year. “Everybody is a little tight at the start of the match,” Snipes said. “But these girls have played in a lot of big matches.”
