NEW LEADERSHIP AT ST. JAMES

BY SHERYL ROADCAPFor the Daily [email protected]

PIQUA – St. James Episcopal Church isnow under new leadership, as a new priesthas taken the reigns. The Reverend AaronGerlach took his new position at the churchon Jan. 1. For the previous three years he hasbeen the at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church inSidney, where he will continue on into hisfourth year as priest, but now is adding St.James to his duties.“For about two years now, St. James of

Piqua, St.Mark’s in Sidney and Trinity Epis-copal Church in Troy has been developing apretty strong relationship as three Episcopalchurches working together. So, although I’mstarting Jan. 1, I’ve known people here andwe’ve been working together for a long time.

Since these three churches have been work-ing so closely together for so long, it justmakes natural sense for there to be, at thepriest level, a common thread,” explained thereverend of his merging duties between thetwo churches.Gerlach’s vision for St. James for at least

the next two years, which is the minimum pe-riod of time that he is ordained to work inPiqua, is to help people in the communityconnect with the faith community. “For me, abig part of being a priest is bringing peopletogether and developing community,” he said.The priest said he is aware that not every-

one always can attend service on a Sundaymorning, but he is very interested in addi-tional, non-traditional ways of bringing peo-ple together.Gerlach speaks highly of anon-going knitting group that meets weekly onTuesday mornings from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m.

at St. James, followed by a healing servicethat includes prayer, at noon. He believes theknitting group is a way for Christians to con-nect and have deep spiritual conversations todiscuss their faith, and that if you don’t al-ready know how, they will teach you to knitas well. Between the knitting group and thework with the parishes’ food pantry, Gerlachsaid the church is really just interested in“how we can people help.” He said the role offood ministry is “a very interesting piece aswell” and that these are “new ways to connectwith people and your faith.”This Sunday morning at 9 a.m., the church

will have a free breakfast for anyone whowants to come with no requirements of anykind — financially or based on membership.He said this is something the church tries todo monthly to connect with the community.

PITTSBURGH (AP) —Private landowners arereaping billions of dollarsin royalties each year fromthe boom in natural gasdrilling, transforminglives and livelihoods evenas the windfall providesonly a modest boost to thebroader economy.

In Pennsylvania alone,royalty payments couldtop $1.2 billion for 2012,according to an AssociatedPress analysis that lookedat state tax information,production records and es-timates from the NationalAssociation of RoyaltyOwners.

For some landowners,the unexpected royaltieshave made a big differ-ence.

"We used to have to putstuff on credit cards. Itwas basically living frompaycheck to paycheck,"said Shawn Georgetti,who runs a family dairyfarm in Avella, about 30miles southwest of Pitts-burgh.

Natural gas productionhas boomed in manystates over the past fewyears as advances indrilling opened up vast re-serves buried in deepshale rock, such as theMarcellus formation inPennsylvania and theBarnett in Texas.

Nationwide, the royaltyowners association esti-mates, natural gas royal-ties totaled $21 billion in2010, the most recent yearfor which it has done a fullanalysis. Texas paid outthe most in gas royaltiesthat year, about $6.7 bil-lion, followed by Wyomingat $2 billion and Alaska at$1.9 billion.

Exact estimates of nat-ural gas royalty paymentsaren't possible becausecontracts and wholesaleprices of gas vary, and spe-cific tax information is pri-vate. But some statesrelease estimates of thetotal revenue collected forall royalties, and feedbackon thousands of contractshas led the royalty ownersassociation to concludethat the average royalty is18.5 percent of gas pro-duction.

"Our fastest-growingstate chapter is our Penn-sylvania chapter, and wejust formed a North

Dakota chapter. We'veseen a lot of new people,and new questions," saidJerry Simmons, the direc-tor of the association,which was founded in1980 and is based in Okla-homa.

Simmons said he hasn'theard of anyone gettingless than 12.5 percent,and that's also the mini-mum rate set by law inPennsylvania. Simmonsknows of one contract in

another state where theowner received 25 percentof production, but that'sunusual.

By comparison, a 10 to25 percent range is simi-lar to what a top recordingartist might get in royal-ties from CD sales, while anovelist normally gets a12.5 percent to 15 percentroyalty on hardcover booksales.

Simmons added that foroil and gas "there is no in-dustry standard," sincethe royalty is often ad-justed based on the per-acre signing bonus alandowner receives.Whilemany people are lured byhigher upfront bonuses, ahigher royalty rate cangenerate more total in-come over the life of awell, which can stretch for25 years.

Before Range Resourcesdrilled a well on the fam-ily property in 2012, Geor-getti said, he was stuck

using 30-year-old equip-ment, with no way to up-grade without goingseriously into debt.

"You don't have thatproblem anymore. It's a lotmore fun to farm," Geor-getti said, since he hasbeen able to buy newerequipment that's bigger,faster and more fuel-effi-cient. The drilling hasn'tcaused any problems forthe farm, he said.

Range spokesman Matt

Pitzarella said the Okla-homa-based company haspaid "well over" $1 billionto Pennsylvania landown-ers, with most of that com-ing since 2008.

One economist notedthat the windfall pay-ments from the naturalgas boom are wonderfulfor individuals, but thatthey represent just a tinyportion of total economicactivity.

For example, the $1 bil-lion for Pennsylvanialandowners sounds like alot, but "it's just not goingto have a big impact onthe overall vitality of theoverall economy," saidRobert Inman, a professorof economics and publicpolicy at the University ofPennsylvania's Whartonbusiness school. "I thinkthe issue is, what differ-ence does it make for theindividual families?"

Pennsylvania's totalgross domestic product in

2011 was about $500 bil-lion, according to the U.S.Department of Commerce.

Inman noted that totalgas industry hiring andinvestment can have a farbigger effect on a state orregion, and companieshave invested tens of bil-lions of dollars just inPennsylvania on pipelines,infrastructure, anddrilling in recent years.

For example, in NorthDakota the shale oil andminerals boom con-tributed 2.8 percent ofGDP growth to the entirestate economy in 2011, ac-cording to Commerce De-partment data.

Another variable in howmuch royalty owners actu-ally receive is the whole-sale price of gas. That hasdropped significantly overthe past two years even asproduction has boomed inPennsylvania and manyother states. Averagewholesale prices wentfrom about $4.50 per unitof gas in 2010 to about $3in 2012. For many lease-holders, that meant a de-cline in royalties.

The boom in naturalgas royalties has even ledto niche spinoff companiesthat look for lease heirswho don't even knowthey're owed money.

Michael Zwick is presi-dent of Assets Interna-tional, a Michigancompany that searches formissing heirs.

"It was an underservedniche," Zwick said of oiland gas leases. When acompany can't find an heirto lease royalties, themoney often goes to stateunclaimed property funds.

Zwick said he has founda few dozen people whosegas lease money was beingheld in escrow, includingone who was owed about$250,000 in drilling royal-ties. But the averageamount, he said, is farlower.

LANDON PIERCE

The reverend’s path to be-coming a priest wasn’t exactlylinear, as he grew up on a farmin a small town in South Dakota,then held a previous career as ahigh school and middle schoolmath teacher in Illinois and inOhio, while he went to BexleyHall Seminary school in Colum-bus in 2006. He was officially or-dained in 2011, and was finallysent to St. Mark’s EpiscopalChurch in Sidney. Gerlach ex-plains that the journey to be-coming a priest is a ratherlengthy process with many stepsand plenty of time to ensure thatthe decision is right for both theindividual and the church. Hesays that although he always felt“deeply connected to the church,”

that after his parents’ divorce, hesort of fell away from it, but thatupon attending a church servicesimply to hear a friend play theorgan, it was like “coming comeagain.” Then after becomingquite involved in the parish, hispriest invited him to a youngadult conference that was hap-pening for a five-state-regionthat helped people determinewhat role fit them within thechurch, whether it be a deacon, apriest, or perhaps a monk, etc.And after that conference withsome reflection, Gerlach said itwas then that he decided that hewanted to become a priest.“It is not a rash decision,” the

priest says of the time andprocess involved to become or-dained.The reverend said that just

because you decide that youwant to pursue becoming apriest it doesn’t mean that youare allowed to do so without theblessing of the church first. So,one must first get the blessing ofyour church, then second, youmust be approved by the Dio-cese, then finally the Bishopmust give you the okay to con-tinue on to seminary school. Ger-lach said that it was about a tenyear process for him to finallybecome ordained.The priest, who has no chil-

dren and is not married, but hashad the same partner for thepast 15 years, said the EpiscopalChurch is very welcoming to allpeople and that there is no re-quirement to be attached or amember. The reverend says, “Mypassion is to just freely share in-

formation and let them explorewhat it (religion) means to themand ask questions; to be a re-source to help people in generaland answer questions, or haveconversations and even meetwith a group of people. My mainmost important piece is thatanyone who wants to have con-versation, to make space forthat.”Gerlach can be reached at

(937) 557 -1333 or at [email protected]. He is always inPiqua at St. James on Tuesdays,and in Sidney at St. Mark’s onWednesdays, otherwise he isavailable by appointment. Sun-day morning service at St.James Episcopal Church is heldat 11 a.m. (and is held at 9 a.m.at St. Mark’s in Sidney).

A CIVITASMEDIA

NEWSPAPER

“You don’t have to be adeficit hawk to be dis-turbed by the growing

gap between revenues andexpenses,” said Sen. BarackObama during a Nov. 3,2005, debate on the Senatefloor. At the time, Obamahad been a senator for lessthan a year and the federalbudget deficit was in factshrinking, from $248 billionin fiscal 2006 to $160 billionin fiscal 2007. Still, Obama seemeddeeply concerned about the deficit, andhe appeared to believe it when he saidthe only way to close the shortfalls was toforce Congress to pay for what it spends.A fewmonths later, onMarch 16, 2006,

Obama returned to the same theme —“You don’t have to be a deficit hawk …”— in a sobering floor speech as the Sen-ate considered whether to raise the na-tion’s debt ceiling from $8.184 trillion to$8.965 trillion. “The fact that we are heretoday to debate raising America’s debtlimit is a sign of leadership failure,”Obama said. “It is a sign that the U.S.government can’t pay its own bills. It is asign that we now depend on ongoing fi-nancial assistance from foreign countriesto finance our government’s reckless fis-cal policies.”The deficit, Obama argued, handcuffed

government in many ways. The moneypaid in interest on the debt was moneythat could not be spent on education,transportation, disaster relief or manyother worthy causes. And borrowing somuch from foreign countries meantAmerica’s economy would be “tied to thewhims of foreign leaders” who might notwish the best for the United States.“IncreasingAmerica’s debt weakens us

domestically and internationally,”Obamaconcluded. “I therefore intend to opposethe effort to increase America’s debtlimit.”Obama made good on his promise.

Joined by then-Sen. Joe Biden, SenateDemocratic leaders Harry Reid, RichardDurbin, Charles Schumer and indeedevery other Democrat, Obama votedagainst raising the debt ceiling. Republi-cans, who controlled the Senate with aRepublican in theWhite House, voted forthe increase, which became law.Later, as president, Obama admitted

his ‘06 debt ceiling vote was a politicalmaneuver. “That was just an example ofa new senator making what is a politicalvote as opposed to doing what was im-portant for the country,”Obama toldABCinApril 2011. “As president, you start re-

alizing, ‘You knowwhat?Wecan’t play around with thisstuff.’”These days, Obama’s par-

tisans defend that ‘06 voteby pointing out that Democ-rats weren’t in control backthen and couldn’t have actu-ally blocked a debt limit in-crease even if they hadwanted to. So Obama could“play around” with the vote.But did Obama’s words

sound like a man who wasplaying around? In that ‘06 Senatespeech, he made a cogent and convincingcase against deficits. If he didn’t believe aword of it, he didn’t show it.And now, under his own administra-

tion, the problem is so much worse. Thebudget deficit that headed from $248 bil-lion to $160 billion in 2006 and 2007 shotup to $458 billion in 2008 and $1.4 tril-lion in 2009 as the economic crisis tookhold and Obama became president.In 2010, the deficit was $1.3 trillion,

then another $1.3 trillion in 2011, then$1.1 trillion in 2012. It’s projected to beabove $1 trillion again in 2013, extendingObama’s record of presiding over un-precedented trillion-plus deficits.And now President Obama, who in

2006 balked at raising the debt ceiling to$8.965 trillion, is demanding that Con-gress, without question, negotiation, orcondition, raise the debt ceiling some-where far above its current $16.4 trillion.“There is … no ready, credible solution,

other than Congress either give me theauthority to raise the debt ceiling, or exer-cise the responsibility that they have keptfor themselves and raise the debt ceiling,”Obama said at his recent news conference.“We are not a deadbeat nation.”But the interest on the debt, now

vastly higher than when Obama ad-dressed the issue in 2006, is still moneythat can’t be used for education, trans-portation and other priorities. And themoney borrowed from other countries,also vastly more than in ‘06, leaves theU.S. even more at the whims of foreignleaders.Did the president believe what he said

back then, or does he believe what he issaying now? Who knows? But perhapsthe Barack Obama of 2013 should listento the Barack Obama of 2006. He was anemerging Democratic superstar backthen. And no wonder — he made a lot ofsense.

CHARLOTTE,N.C. (AP) Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jin-dal called on the Republican Party to “stop beingthe stupid party” on Thursday as GOP leaders

promised fundamental changes to help stave off futurelosses.In the keynote address at the Republican National

Committee’s winter meeting, Jindal said the GOP does-n’t need to change its values but “might need to changejust about everything else we are doing.”“We’ve got to stop being the stupid party. It’s time for

a new Republican Party that talks like adults,” he said.“We had a number of Republicans damage the brandthis year with offensive and bizarre comments. I’m hereto say we’ve had enough of that.”Jindal, thought to be a potential 2016 presidential

contender, offered little detail in the 25-minute address.He called on conservatives to shift their focus fromCapitol Hill number crunching to “the place where con-servatism thrives in the real world beyond the Wash-ington Beltway.”Hours before the speech, Republican leaders prom-

ised to release in March a report, dubbed the “Growthand Opportunity Project,” outlining recommendationson party rules and messaging designed to appeal to arapidly changingAmerican electorate. President BarackObama’s November victory was fueled, in part, by over-whelming support from the nation’s Hispanic, Asianand African-American communities.“Losing is not fun.We want to win,” said GOP strate-

gist Sally Bradshaw, who is among five people ap-pointed by RNC Chairman Reince Priebus to craft thereport.“I think you’re going to see a very renewed, aggres-

sive effort by this party to put on a different face,” Brad-shaw said. “We are going to go into areas that we do notgo into and see folks that we do not see.”Republicans presidential nominee Mitt Romney

struggled last fall to win over women and minorities,who overwhelmingly favored President Barack Obama’sre-election bid. GOP officials conceded this week thatthey must change their tone and message, if not theirpolicies, if they hope to expand their appeal in the com-ing years.Romney alienated many Hispanic voters by high-

lighting his support for a fence along the Mexican bor-der and “self-deportation” of illegal immigrants.Down-ticket Republican candidates alienated femalevoters by backing new abortion laws in a handful ofswing states like Virginia and New Hampshire, whileSenate candidate Todd Akin of Missouri hurt himselfand his party by declaring that women’s bodies couldprevent pregnancy in cases of “legitimate rape.”GOP strategist Ari Fleischer suggested that his party

could learn an important lesson from Democrats onmessaging: “Republicans talk policy and Democrats talkpeople. Republicans can learn a little bit from Democ-rats on how to make those people connections with ourpolicies.”Asked whether he was considering a presidential bid

in 2016, Jindal brushed aside the question. “Any Re-publican that’s thinking about talking about runningfor president in 2016 needs to get his head examined,”he said. “We’ve got a lot of work to do.”He called on conservatives to stop fighting with De-

mocrats on their terms about the size of government inWashington and focus instead on connecting with votersacross the nation.

Moderately Confused

This deal occurred inthe 1991 world teamchampionship final be-tween Iceland andPoland. The biddingshown took place whenthe Polish pair of AdamZmudzinski and CezaryBalicki held the North-South cards.The bidding requires

explanation. The Polishpair were using a systemwherein an opening one-diamond bid indicateszero to seven points,which explains South’sinitial bid. West’s two-heart overcall, by agree-ment, showed specificallyfour hearts and at leastsix diamonds. After Eastjumped to four hearts,Balicki came in with adaring four-spade bid atthe adverse vulnerability.

West, Jon Baldursson,made the unusual lead ofa low heart from the K-Q-7-3, hoping his partnercould win the trick andgive him a club ruff. East,Adalsteinn Jorgensen,played the ten, and de-clarer, unaware of the im-pending danger, let theten hold. He was planningto win the expected heartreturn and ruff a heart indummy before drawingtrumps.The play to the first

trick was not lost on Jor-gensen. Since declarerhad not taken the ten

with the king or queen,West had to have both ofthose cards.All Jorgensenhad to do was to work outwhy Baldursson had notmade the normal lead ofthe king.With five clubs in his

own hand and five indummy, Jorgensen had notrouble finding the an-swer. He cashed the clubace, gave his partner aclub ruff, won West’s dia-mond return and gaveWest another club ruff.Down two, 500 points toIceland. Of course, hadBalicki won the opening

trick and drawn trumps,he would have made hiscontract for a gain of 790points.At the other table, the

Polish East-West woundup in five diamonds dou-bled, down one, an excel-lent result consideringNorth-South could makefour spades. As it was,though, Iceland gained100 points at one tableand 500 at the other for a12-IMP pickup on thedeal.

DEAR ABBY: Al-though I love my 7-year-old daughter, “Emma,” Ido not “like” her. It’s be-cause I dislike my ex-hus-band, “Scott,” so much. Hewas verbally and emotion-ally abusive and left mewhile I was pregnant. Theexperience left me hurtand humiliated, and I con-tinue to harbor resent-ment toward him.I’m happily remarried

now, but Emma is a con-stant reminder of my badmarriage. I feel she’s self-ish, rude, lazy and disre-spectful — characteristicsScott possesses. I have lit-tle tolerance for her be-havior and I’m hard onher. Sometimes I feel likeI’m talking to him insteadof to a little girl.I have seen several

therapists, but nobody hasbeen able to help. I havebeen told, “Your child isn’tyour ex so you need to getover it!” Compounding theproblem is the daughter Ihave with my second hus-band, a little girl I adorebeyond words. She’ssweet, kind, friendly andessentially the opposite ofEmma. I love this childmore than I love Emma,and I’m disgusted withmyself for feeling this way.It was Scott who hurt me,but I can’t get past thehurt. Abby, what can I do?

— DISTRESSED INMASSACHUSETTS

DEAR DISTRESSED:Try harder to rebuild thebond you didn’t form withEmma when she was bornbecause of your anger ather father. It can still bedone, but it will take workon your part. Emma’s be-havior may be the resultof how you have treatedher, and if YOU canchange, so may she. I’llshare with you a letter Iprinted several years agofrom another mother whoshared your problem:

“DEAR ABBY: Thebest advice I ever receivedfor coping with my con-trary daughter was from aneighbor who had a surlygirl of her own. She made

a conscientious effort to bemore demonstrative toher daughter, hug hermore and hold on a littletighter to show her howvalued she was.“I tried it with my

daughter, going out of myway several times a day toexpress my love for her. Itwas awkward at first, butI persevered. I committedmyself to loving thatunlovable being, andslowly but surely it paidoff.At first, she would leanaway, but eventually shewould ask me to hold on‘just one more minute.’“My daughter is 24 now

and on her own. Her lifeisn’t what I would havehoped for or expected, butthat’s OK. I’m her touch-stone for love and accept-ance. I can’t imagine mylife without her.

— ANOTHER MOMIN CALIFORNIA”

Emma may be a diffi-cult child, but she’s notstupid. She sees the dif-ference between how youreact to her half-sisterand the way you treat her.A first step for you wouldbe to apologize to her, putyour arms around her andtell her that from now onyou will try to do better asa mother. Emma didn’task to be born, and youowe her that.

BY JOCELYN NOVECKAP National Writer

NEW YORK (AP) — Before we startrambling on obsessively about MichelleObama’s bangs, let’s be clear: The pres-ident started it.It was he, after all, who called the

new hairdo, unveiled just a few days be-fore the historic occasion of his secondinauguration, “the most significantevent of this weekend.”And he hasn’t stopped there. On

Tuesday night, he introduced his wifeat the Staff Inaugural Ball: “And theFirst Lady of the United States, bangsand all...”So given the president’s evident in-

terest in the subject, perhaps the rest ofus shouldn’t feel so bad about analyz-ing ad nauseum the first lady’s newlook, an activity that has certainlytaken over social media for days (and,perhaps, ended discussion of an earlierobsession, Michelle Obama’s arms.)Heck, the bangs even have their own(unauthorized) Twitter account, First-Lady’sBangs, which has taken to issu-ing dispatches like: “Just got a text fromHillary Clinton’s side-part” or “BREAK-ING NEWS: Barack just named me di-rector of Hairline Security.”And how about the headline in New

York’s Daily News, the day afterObama’s private swearing-in? “In WithA Bang.”Quips and clever headlines aside,

everyone seems to have an opinionabout the new style — not only how itlooks, but what it means. And so, justbecause it’s fun, we analyze some ofthem here:

THE YOUTH FACTOR: It’s no se-cret, say fashion experts, that on theright person, bangs can make you lookyounger. It’s also no secret that Mrs.Obama turned 49 the very day she un-veiled the cut last week, in a phototweeted from her new Twitter account,FLOTUS.“None of this is accidental,” says

Linda Wells, Allure magazine’s editor-in-chief. “She tried this on her 49thbirthday. She wants to spice it up a bit.And it’s definitely a more youthful stylethan what she had before. It just has aflirty, young quality to it.”

THE FASHION PLATE: ClearlyMrs. Obama, well known and admiredfor her fashion sense, is aware thatbangs are in these days. Sure, they’vebeen around forever, and your 5-year-old may have them, but recently bangshave become a full-fledged fashiontrend, with actress Zooey Deschanelone of the standard-bearers. (Fun fact:Deschanel, 33, and Mrs. Obama happento share the same birthday — Jan. 17.)“Bangs have always been there, but

they are clearly having a moment rightnow,” says celebrity hairstylist HarryJosh, who was in Washington to stylesinger Kelly Clarkson’s hair for the in-auguration (Clarkson sang “My Coun-try, ‘Tis of Thee.”) “Mrs. Obama is reallybeing modern and fashion-forward. Wehaven’t had a fashion-forward first ladylike this since Jackie Kennedy.”New York hairstylist Robert Stuart

agrees. “Bangs have been really, reallybig for about a year,” he says. He thinksMrs. Obama has picked the perfect cutfor her looks. “It’s much softer andyounger, and it makes her look moreapproachable,” Stuart says. “It alsoworks well for her sense of fashion. Andit brings out her eyes.”

THE NAYSAYERS: Just in caseone thinks everyone loves the hairdo —

and the reaction does seem extremelypositive — there are naysayers. Countamong them Joan Rivers, comedienneand fashion commentator, who tweetedon Inauguration Day: “Today startsPresident Obama’s next four years inthe White House. Let’s hope the sameisn’t true about the first lady’s newhairdo.” Explanation? She didn’t pro-vide one, but in her defense, she onlyhad 140 characters.

SHE’S EXPRESSING HERINNER SELF: Here we get a littlemore philosophical. Some have specu-lated that, since Mrs. Obama is startinga second term and won’t have to endureany more campaigns, she’s finally freeto express herself exactly as she wants— and feels. “Haircuts do express howpeople are feeling,” says Wells. “You getthat sense of her feeling liberated —more comfortable, and less worriedabout what everyone else is thinking.She’s showing her own sense of styleand own sense of energy.”Stuart, of the Robert Stuart Salon,

has a similar thought. “I think nowshe’s maybe feeling less threatened, andcan express herself more. Really she

just seems more comfortable.”

IT’S SOMETHING TO EVERY-ONE: If you’d wandered around theNational Mall on Inauguration Day,and spoke to women especially, you’dhave found a lot of Michelle Obamafans. No surprise there. But many ofthese women were also fond of thebangs, and for various reasons.Sheila Garrison, an educator from

Maryland, called the hairstyle “differ-ent,” but all the attention paid to itbrought home to her and her friend, fel-low teacher Patricia Cooper, that Mrs.Obama “represents women in a beauti-ful way,” in Cooper’s words. “You look ather and you are proud to be a woman.She commands respect.” Garrison, 58,also appreciated how Mrs. Obama, afellow tall woman, “carries herself reallywell.”Mattece Mason, 34, of Tulsa, Okla.,

adores the cut — when asked about, itshe and her family members — well,the females — screamed, “Oh my God,we love it!” But the enthusiasm of herdaughters was meaningful to Mason fora reason other than fashion. “Mydaughter Aubrianna, who’s 14, said tome today: ‘I want bangs now,’” Masonsaid. “That made me feel great becausemy girls have such a role model. A firstlady they can emulate.” (Mason alsomentioned she thought Secretary ofState Hillary Rodham Clinton lookedgreat in those eyeglasses she’s beensporting lately.)And Roslyn Snow, of Newport Beach,

Calif., had another reason for loving thenew Obama look. “I think she looks likeJane Fonda back in the old days,” saidSnow, 76. “Remember?”

A SIGN OF SOMETHING BIG-GER?: Many have wondered whetherMrs. Obama has plans to forge a newrole in the second term, taking on dif-ferent issues. Wells, the fashion editor,gets that feeling, though she makesclear it’s all speculation. “You sense itwith the strong statement she is mak-ing with her appearance,” Wells says.“Before, her look was sort of retrograde:the hair, the A-line dresses. The em-phasis was on ‘lady.’ Now, it seems, theemphasis is on ‘first lady.’”

A POLITICAL STATEMENT?:Josh, Clarkson’s stylist, likes to see abroader message in the haircut choice.“Think about President Obama’s state-ment in his speech about gay people asequals. It was so forward-looking. Mrs.Obama was saying something similar,I’d like to think. She was putting Amer-ica into the position of a forward-think-ing country.”Or not. “Of course,” adds Josh, “she

could just have been bored with herhair the old way.”

�� Calling Around Covington

KYLE MOOREColumnist

BY JIM DAVISCivitas [email protected]

TROY — There’s a lotgoing on in the upstairsclassroom at the LincolnCommunity Center in Troy,particularly after schoolMonday through Thursday.

A quick scan of the roomreveals students betweenthe ages of 3 and 7 workingon various assignments,ranging from reading, writ-ing and math homework tocoloring projects.

Which is precisely whatAfter-School Program Edu-cational Coordinator LizStafford intends for youthtaking part in the free, after-school tutoring program atthe center.

“We’re trying to get themto think, and I don’t thinkchildren get enough of thatanymore,” she said, pausingto take a question from ayoung girl who asks her tocheck her writing assign-ment.

After complimenting thechild for a job well done,

Stafford was quick to praisethe entire group of children.

“All my kids are very, veryspecial,” she said.

Stafford said students inthe program have embracedthe motto “Pray, Aim Highand Stay Focused,” whichencompasses both a moraland academic approach tolearning.

“That’s one of the greatthings about working at thecenter — we can pray,”Stafford explained. “Andthat’s one of the things thatthey can take home withthem. A child can influencea whole family into beingthe best that they can be.”

LCC Director ShaneCarter said Stafford hasplayed an integral role inhelping children accomplishthat since taking over as thecenter’s educational coordi-nator in early 2012.

“I pride myself in mywork ethic, and to see hercontinue to work every dayand be as enthusiastic asshe is has truly motivatedme,” Carter said, noting thatStafford was able to behired through a grant fromthe Troy Foundation. “She

truly does it because it’s hercalling from God, but she’smaking an impact in theirlives.”

Carter said Stafford - whotaught physical educationfor several years in Ohiocities ranging from Toledoand Vandalia to Piqua’sBennett Junior High — isnow mentoring children ofstudents she taught orhelped guide years ago.

Several of them stop bythe center to see how she isdoing or simply say hello.

“It shows me that notonly is she sincere about it,but it’s that obligation shefeels as an educator to giveback to her community,”Carter said. “(Students are)learning from someone thatreally is a ‘one-of-a-kind.’”

Working with assistanteducational coordinatorCarolyn Putnam, Stafford— who owns StaffordUniquely Sports in down-town Troy — oversees up to16 students in the program(LCC also has a tutoringprogram for students 8-14taught by Tamera Mooreand Pat Grove).

In addition to homework

assignments from schooland projects aimed at sharp-ening their academic skills,students also are workingon a play about Rosa Parksfor an upcoming perform-ance.

While this isn’t the firsttime she has worked at theLCC — she taught aerobicsand “dancercize” classes atthe center in the 1980s, andstarted an organizationcalled NUBIA (New Unionof Blacks to Improve Amer-ica) — Stafford said she rec-ognized a need to help youngchildren at the center dur-ing a visit last year andcame back to help make adifference.

“I feel that when you lovesomething and have a pas-sion for it, it comes easy,”said Stafford, who will turn83 later this year. “I thinkthat if you can make a dif-ference, you should … and Ifeel that God has given methat chance.”

She already has.For more information

Lincoln Community Center Educational Coordinator Liz Stafford recently looks over the work of childrenfrom the after-school program, including Ahnalise Ellis and Ryder Kirtley.

Ball in wrong hands at endPiqua loses heartbreaker on buzer-beaterBY ROB KISERCall Sports Editor

[email protected]

GREENEVIEW —Piqua boys basketballcoach Heath Butler knewit was exactly what he did-n’t want.The ball in Greeneview

guard Evan Bradds’hands with the game onthe line.To Piqua’s credit, they

made Bradds deliver twicein the last 30 seconds inthat situation — and hedid it both times — hand-ing the Indians a heart-breaking 59-57 losttSaturday night at GaryBradds Gymnasium.The game was tied

inthe closing seconds to gowhen Bradds, from the topof the key, threw a rope toDalton Caudill, who layedit in at the buzzer for thewinning points.“He (Evan Bradds) is a

great player and he madea great pass to the guy,”

Butler said. “You can’t getdown about that.”Especially after the ef-

fort Piqua had turned in.The Indians found

themselves trailing by asmuch as nine points in thethird quarter and wereplaying from behind al-most the entire game, butPiqua just kept battling.“It was a tremendous ef-

fort by the kids,” Butlersaid. “They came downhere and played a physicalgame. “It would have been

easy for them to be lethar-gic after the big game withSidney last night, but they

didn’t do that.”And in the fourth quar-

ter, Piqua started to findits range from outsideThree 3-point field goals

by Colton Bachman andone by Luke Karn hadpropelled Piqua to a 51-48lead with 2:20 remaining.“Colton (Bachman) is a

freshman,” Butler said.“There is a huge learningcurve here for varsity bas-ketball and he starting tounderstand what he cando.”Piqua still had the same

lead with 1:30 to go, beforea wild and rollercoasterfinish.

Greeneview scored fourpoints in 10 seconds, in-cluding a steal and basketby Caudill to go up 52-51with a little over a minuteremaining.Alec Nix hit two free

throwsfor the Rams tomake it 54-51 with 54 sec-onds to go, before a stick-back by Tate Honeycuttand two free throws byJosh Holfinger put Piquaup 55-54 with 27 secondsto go.“We made some big

plays down the stretch,”Butler said.But, that put the ball in

Bradds hands and hefound Tyler Bruntz openin the corner and he hit athree to give Greeneview a57-55 lead with 15 secondsto go.,But, Tate Honeycutt

was fouled with eight sec-onds to go and nailed bothfree throws to tie thegame once again, beforethe heartbreaking finish.“Tate (Honeycutt) has

learned from his experi-ences this year,” Butlersaid. “That (the freethrows) were clutch.”Holfinger scored 12

points and eight rebounds,but his defense on the 6-6Bradds was probably themost impressive part ofhis game.“What an effort,” Butler

said. “Josh (Holfinger) hadto match up on him allnight and just did a greatjob.”Karn and Bachman

both added 11 and Honey-cutt and Daniel Monninscored nine each.Bradds had 24 points to

pace Greeneview. Bruntzscored 17 and Caudilladded 11.Piqua, 6-10, was 21 of

43 from the floor for 49percent and 10 of 14 fromthe line for 71 percent.Greeneview, 13-2, was

“You could just sense atthat point in the game weneeded a shot like that.”It came in the middle of

a 32-11 run after Edisonhad trailed 58-49 with14:00 to play following abasket by Melea Smith.“We knew we just

needed to step up our de-fensive intensity,”Richards said when askedwhat changed. “We justneeded to put an entiregame together like we didtoday — not just play wellfor a half.”Richards scored 12

points in the run and ToriPurk added 10 — withRichards and KendraBrunswick taking turnsfinding her in the low postfor easy baskets.“I am really proud of

Tori (Purk),” Edison coachKim Rank said. “Sheplayed much better todayand we were moving heraround. We started her inthe low post and at theend, we moved her to thehigh post to screen forBrooke.”When the run ended,

Edison found itself withan 81-69 lead with 1:46 togo and Columbus Statecould never make a seri-ous dent in that over thefinal two minutes.And Rank — like

Richards — never lostfaith, even when the LadyChargers found them-selves in the nine-pointdeficit in the second half.“It was just a matter of

us playing defense and re-bounding,” Rank said. “Inthe first half, ColumbusState was really hurtingus on the boards. We justfelt like if we could everstarting holding them toone shot — and that’swhat we did for most ofthe second half.”While Edison trailed

much of the first half, theymade a late run and whenRichards hit two freethrows just before thebreak, the Lady Chargerswere within 40-38.She opened the second

half with a three to giveEdison a 41-40 lead, butTrotwood-Madison’s KarisWatts immediately an-swered with a three andthe Lady Cougars ap-peared to be in control.But, Brunswick hit an

off-balance jumper in thebaseline to tie it at 67 with6:00, before Richards putthe Chargers ahead forgood.“We had been playing

well, but we not winning,”Rank said. “I think peopleforget sometimes just howmany freshman we areplaying.We came out a lit-tle soft in the second halfagainst Sinclair afterplaying well in the firsthalf. Today, we playedhard for 40 minutes.”

While Richards andBrunswick had their biggames at the offensiveend, Purk ,Morgan Huel-skamp and MackenzieMay provided a strongsupporting cast — thefour combining for 79 ofEdison’s 81 points.“Morgan (Huelskamp)

is just such a consistentplayer for us,” Rank said.“She does so many thingsfor us that don’t show upon the stat sheet. And shecan hit the jumper on thebaseline — with the wayBrooke (Richards) andKendra (Brunswick) candrive, that is big for us.”Richards had 26 points

eight rebounds and threesteals, while Brunsiwckand Purk both had dou-ble-doubles.Brunswick nearly had a

triple-double with 21points, 10 rebounds andnine assists, while Purkhad 18 points and 10 re-bounds. May added eightpoints.Watts had a game-high

30 points for the LadyCougars, while Bailey Per-rion had 14 points andseven rebounds.Smith added 13 points,

while Chrissy Scipio had10 points and eight re-bounds. Quanita Fairpulled down seven re-bounds.Edison was 27 of 50

from the floor for 54 per-cent, including two of ninefrom the 3-point line for22 percent. The LadyChargers shot a scorching68 percent from the floor(15 of 22) in the secondhalf and converted 33 of44 free throws in the gamefor 75 percent.Columbus State was 29

of 80 from the floor for 36percent, including nine of23 from the 3-point linefor 39 percent. The LadyCougars converted 15 of20 free throws for 75 per-cent.Edison won the battle of

the boards 39-38, but had20 turnovers to theCougars 13.The Lady Chargers get

ready for another toughgame Wednesday whenOwens visits.“Every team in the con-

ference is good,” Richardssaid. “Anybody can win onany given night.”Or day — as the Charg-

ers showed Saturday af-ternoon.

SIDNEY — Lehmanwas excellent at the freethrow line and that wasthe key in the Cavaliers’53-44 victory over Hous-ton in non-league boysbasketball action atLehman Saturday night.The Cavaliers, 8-7 after

back-to-back Saturdaynight wins, dropped in 26of 32 free throw attempts,81 percent, to pull out thevictory.“It was a good win for

us,” said Lehman headcoach Isaiah Williams.“We played well defen-sively, did a good job on(Houston's Jesse) Phlipot.And we hit our freethrows.”Lehman hit 18-for-21

from the line in the finalperiod alone.Connor Richard led the

way for the Cavaliers with20 points, 11 of those atthe line in 13 attempts.Jackson Frantz andMichael Jacob both hadnine points, Frantz hitting

7-for-8 from the line andJacob 5-for-7.For Houston, which was

also good from the line on16-for-24, Phlipot had 12and Jake Braun finishedwith 10. Evan Winneradded nine and was 7-for-8 from the line.Lehman has its work

Bucc boys winWEST ALEXANDRIA

— Covington’s 69-42thrashing of Twin ValleySouth on Saturday was abig win in so many ways.First, it was Covington’s

third straight victory,something the Buccaneershaven’t been able to do intwo years. The last timeCovington put together athree-game winning

streak was in February of2011 when current Edisonstar Eric Beckstedt was asenior.Second, it proves Cov-

ington can win big gameson the road against qual-ity teams.The Buccs have won

their last four road games,last losing in the oppo-nent’s home gym on Dec.15 at Marion Local.Lastly, the performance

by Covington may just themost consistent effort theBuccaneers have had allseason in terms of execut-ing in all phases of thegame.Covington out re-

bounded South 29-19, heldthe advantage inturnovers 17-7 and had 15more shot attempts thanthe home team (60-45).It all led to a gradual

separation on the score-board as Covington led 15-11 after one and 29-21 atthe break.After pushing the lead

to 49-35 at the end of thethird, Covington closedout the game strong byoutscoring the Panthers20-7 in the final frame.The Buccaneers con-

verted on 26 of 60 shotsfrom the floor and made13 of the 16 free throw at-tempts.Twin Valley South was

13 of 45 from the flow and10 of 16 from the freethrow line.The shot chart was in-

dicative of Covington’sdomination under the bas-ket as the Buccs were 22of 47 from two-point rangeand held South to justseven of 24 from inside thearc.The Panthers did made

six treys in the contest,but they came on 21 at-tempts.Perhaps the most

telling statistic for theBuccs came in assists as itdemonstrates how well

going 3-2 with threepins.“It was good to see the

way Jake wrestled againstsome upperclassmen towin,” Kaye said. “Jake hada good tournament.”There were some other

milestones as well.Dalton Price (170)

picked up his varsity win,going 1-2 at 170 pounds.He won and 11-10

thriller in his 11th varsitymatch of the season.“Dalton (Price) was

pretty excited,” Kaye said.“When the match ended,he didn’t know he hadwon.“He wondered why the

official was raising hishand. It was great to see.”Hayden Weldy (106), is

very early in his varsitywrestling career andpicked up a win, going 1-2.“That was the first

match where Hayden(Weldy) has gone the dis-tance,” Kaye said. “He iscoming along.”Tanner Chambers

(160), went 1-2, whileClark Davis (285) went 0-2.“We had some improve-

ments and we had somethings wreslters neededreminding (not to do),”Kaye said.Piqua will be back in ac-

p.m. Friday.

Buccs win tourneyLIMA — Covington fol-

lowed up their great first-day start to the LimaCentral Catholic (LCC)Wrestling Invitationalwith an equally impres-sive second day, bringinghome the championship atthe 38-teammega-tourna-ment.The Buccs — who led by

2.5 points going into the fi-nals — finished in firstplace with 157.5 points,holding off top-five finish-ers Greeneview (147.5),Dixie (147), Ayersville(140.5) and Archbold(136).Winning this tourna-

ment is the Buccs’ great-est team achievementsince finishing 29-0 induals during the 2009-2010 season.This year’s senior class

— Kyler Deeter, BrianOlson, Brock Smith andJake Sowers — got to ex-perience both successes asthey competed as fresh-men on that undefeatedsquad.It took a total team ef-

fort at LCC as all elevencompeting wrestlers wonmatches and earned valu-

able points for the team.While individually, a

few of the wrestlers wouldlike to have a match ortwo back; as a team, theBuccs wrestled an out-standing tournament —placing six wrestlers andnarrowly missing out on afew others reaching theawards podium.Brian Olson led the way

for Covington by winningthe 195 lb. championshipwith a 9-6 decision overMarcus Smith of Carlislein the finals.Olson finished 4-0 with

two pins at the tourna-ment and advanced to thesemi-finals with a 7-3 de-cision over Adrian Hard-ing of Greeneview.Three teammates —

Ryan Ford, Jake Sowersand Kyler Deeter —nearly joined Olson on thechampionship mat, butdropped overtime and 1-point decisions to fall intothe consolation bracket.Ryan Ford (126) fin-

ished 6-1 overall with 2pins and took 3rd place forthe Buccs with an 8-1 de-cision over Zach Alvaradoof Cincinnati Hill’s Chris-tian Academy in the fi-nals, after earning an 11-2major decison overCarlisle’s Jordan McK-night of Carlisle in theconsolation semi-finals.Jake Sowers (145) also fin-ished in third place with a6-2 decision over Cole Ven-cill of Dixie in the finals —which was a key head-to-head bout against theGreyhounds in determin-ing the team champi-onship.Sowers earned a pin

over Wes Buettner ofDelphos St. Johns in theconsolation semifinals,and finished 6-1 overallwith two pins.

Kyler Deeter (160)nearly upended eventualchampion Jimmy Sandlinof Carlisle, dropping asemifinal overtime match,and then never fully re-covered as he dropped hisconsolation semifinalbout.Deeter earned a forfiet

victory over Mechanics-burg’s Max Erwin to take5th place overall and fin-ish with a 4-2 record with2 pins.Also placing for the

Buccs were Daniel Jen-nings (145) and BenMiller (170) who both fin-ished in fourth place.Jennings — who en-

tered the tournament un-seeded - knocked off twoseeded wrestlers and fin-ished 5-2 overall with 3pins.Miller — seeded fifth

—also finished with a 5-2record, earning two pinsat the tournament.Connor Ryan (106) and

A.J. Ouellette (182) alsowrestled great at theevent, finishing in the topeight with 3-2 records.Both battled through

key overtime decisionsand Ouellette earned twopins overall.Jordan Wolfe (285),

Brock Smith (138) andJustin Daniel (220) alsoearned key victories andvaluable team points forthe Buccs.Wolfe finished with a 3-

2 record with 2 pins, whileBrock earned a key victoryand Daniel earned onepin.Covington competes

next in the third round ofthe OHSAA Team Duals

at Versailles high schoolon Wednesday.The Buccs face Mechan-

icsburg while Versaillesfaces Troy Christian.The winners then

square off immediately af-terwards.

� Miami East seniorAllen Seagraves com-pleted a four-year goal bywinning the 120-poundweight class at Lima.It was the last major

regular season tourna-ment championship miss-ing from his career.“Allen (Seagraves) told

me Friday when we wereon the way here that he’dwon all the other tourna-ments we go to at somepoint, but this was theonly one he hadn’t,”MiamiEast coach Jason Sroufesaid. “He made his state-ment here today.”Seagraves scored a key

victory in the quarterfinalround, knocking off Arch-bold’s Damian Short 6-4decision.In the final, he beat

Greeneview freshmanLogan Lacure 7-3.“He beat the fifth-

ranked kid in the state(Short) to get to the finals,then he beat theGreeneview freshmanthat had beaten the sec-ond-seeded kid Friday,”Sroufe said. “He wrestledhis match and controlledevery aspect, and whenyou are in control, thingsgo yur way. He wrestledwell all weekend.”Stephen Morrow (126)

and Austin Rush (132)added sixth-place finishesfor the Vikings, who tiedwith Carey for 11th place.

Jets edge EastCASSTOWN — Every

time Miami East got closeto taking the lead on Sat-urday, Fairlawn’s BradCaudill was there to hit abig shot.So when the game was

on the line, it was only fit-ting that Caudill had theball in his hands.Miami East’s A.J. Hick-

man tied the game at 51-51 with a 3-pointer, whichcapped off a 17-9 fourth-quarter run with 35 sec-onds left to play. Butmoments later, Caudill -who hit seven 3s in thegame - caught the ball inthe corner and nailed atriple with 3.1 ticks on theclock as the Jets escapedwith a 56-51 win inCasstown.It was the first time any

Miami East team has lostin the new gymnasiumsince it opened two yearsago.“We finally fought back

and got it tied up, we justweren’t able to finish thedeal,” Miami East coachAllen Mack said. “They hita nice shot after the time-out.“They moved the ball,

and all night long, Caudillshot pretty well downalong the baseline.“He got loose down

there. In that case, theysimply reversed the ball,but earlier it had been alot of inside-out stuff fromthe high post kick-out.“We adjusted on that,

but in that case, they re-versed it around and hewas able to get a littlespace. We were close togetting there. It was a con-

tested shot, but hestepped up and made it.”Luke House led the way

for the Vikings, scoring 14on the night, nine of whichcame in the second half.Garrett Mitchell had 12points, while Hickmanand Conner Hellyer eachadded nine.Miami East (10-5) hosts

five of its final sevengames, starting withFranklin Monroe Friday.

� On Friday, GarrettMitchell gave the MiamiEast Viking offense a shotin the arm in the secondquarter, dunking and con-verting a three-point playand kick-starting a 55-36victory after a sluggishstart Friday at Mississi-nawa Valley.“Garrett had an and-

one dunk in transition intraffic. That play sparkedus,” Miami East coachAllen Mack said. “Thiswas our third straightgame with a slow start,but after only scoringseven in the first quarter,we got going from there. Iwas really pleased withhow we played in the sec-ond half.”Mitchell finished with

24 points — 10 coming inthe third quarter — sevensteals and four re-bounds.Luke House added14 points and A.J. Hick-man had eight points andsix rebounds as MiamiEast (10-4, 6-2 CrossCounty Conference)trailed 11-7 after one, led23-20 at the half and blewthe game open with a 19-9third quarter.

CAUTIONWhether posting or re-sponding to an advertise-ment, watch out for offersto pay more than the ad-vertised price for theitem. Scammers will senda check and ask the sellerto wire the excessthrough Western Union(possibly for courier fees).The scammer's check isfake and eventuallybounces and the sellerloses the wired amount.While banks and WesternUnion branches aretrained at spotting fakechecks, these types ofscams are growing in-creasingly sophisticatedand fake checks oftenaren't caught for weeks.Funds wired throughWestern Union or Money-Gram are irretrievableand virtually untraceable.

Winter StormSafety Tips

Your newspa-per will probablypublish a summaryof the previousweek’s weather.Whatwas the average hightemperature: Theaverage low tem-perature? If thetemperature were given only inFahrenheit, convert to Celsius.Whatwas the high Celsius reading: Thelowest Celsius reading? What wasthe precipitation in centimeters?

BEFORE AWINTER STORM:Have a disaster plan and prepare adisaster supplies kit for your home andcar. Include a first aid kit, emergencyfood supply, bottled water, battery-operated radio, flashlight, protectiveclothing and blankets. Don't forget, beaware of changing weather.

DURING AWINTER STORM: Stayindoors and dress warmly. Eat regular-ly, because food provides the body withenergy for producing its own heat.Also, drink lots of water. If you must gooutside, wear layered clothing, mittensand a hat.Watch for signs of hypother-mia and frostbite. Remember to keepdry. Always change wet clothing to pre-vent the loss of body heat. If you mustdrive, carry a cell phone. Always, keepthe gas tank full. Don't forget, let some-one know where you’re going, just incase your car gets stuck. If you’re cargets stuck, stay with it and wait for helpunless help is visible within 100 yards.Use maps and car mats to stay warm.

AFTER AWINTER STORM: Avoiddriving until conditions have improved.Avoid overexertion! Heart attacks fromshoveling snow are the leading causeof deaths during the winter. Also, checkon neighbors to make sure they're OK.

WINTERWEATHER ADVISORIES –Issued for accumulations of snow, freez-ing rain, freezing drizzle and sleet,which will cause significant inconven-iences and, if caution is not exercised,could lead to life-threatening situations.

WINTER STORMWATCH – Alerts thepublic to the possibility of a blizzard,heavy snow, heavy freezing rain orheavy sleet.Winter StormWatches areusually issued 12 to 48 hours before thebeginning of a winter storm.

WINTER STORMWARNING – Issuedwhen hazardous winter weather in the

form of heavy snow, heavy freezing rainor heavy sleet is occurring.WinterStormWarnings are usually issued 12to 24 hours before the event is expect-ed.

BLIZZARDWARNING – Issued for sus-tained or gusty winds of 35 mph ormore, and falling or blowing snow creat-ing visibilities at or below 1/4 mile.These conditions should persist forthree hours.

FROST/FREEZEWARNING – Issuedwhen below freezing temperatures areexpected.

LAKE EFFECT SNOW ADVISORY –Issued when accumulation of lake effectsnow will cause significant inconven-ience.

LAKE EFFECT SNOWWARNING –Issued when heavy lake effect snow isoccurring.

WIND CHILL ADVISORY – Issuedwhen the wind chill temperature is fore-cast to be between -15°F to -24°F.

WIND CHILLWARNING – Issued whenthe wind chill temperature is forecast tobe -25°F or lower.

How do winter storms form?Winter storms derive their energy

from the clash of two air masses ofdifferent temperatures and moisturelevels.Winter storms usually formwhen an air mass of cold, dry,Canadian air moves south and inter-acts with a warm, moist air massmoving north from the Gulf of Mexico.The point where these two air mass-es meet is called a front. If cold airadvances and pushes away thewarm air, it forms a cold front.Whenwarm air advances, it rides up overthe denser, cold air mass to form awarm front. If neither air massadvances, it forms a stationary front.How is snow formed?

Snow is commonly formed whenwater vapor undergoes deposition,which is when water vapor changesdirectly to ice without first becoming aliquid, high in the atmosphere at atemperature of less than 32°F andthen falls to the ground.How do blizzards form?

A blizzard is a long-lasting snow-storm with very strong winds andintense snowfall.You need threethings to have a blizzard: cold air atthe surface, lots of moisture and lift.Warm air must rise over cold air.What are snowflakes?

Snowflakes are made of ice crys-tals. Each snowflake is six-sided and

made of as many as 200 ice crystals.Snowflakes form in clouds where thetemperature is below freezing. Theice crystals form around tiny bits ofdirt that has been carried up into theatmosphere by the wind. As the snowcrystals grow, they become heavierand fall toward the ground.

Why is snow white?Bright snow blinds us with its

gleaming white color because itreflects beams of white light. Insteadof absorbing light, snow's complexstructure prevents the light from shin-ing through its lattice formation. Abeam of white sunlight entering asnow bank is so quickly scattered bya zillion ice crystals and air pocketsthat most of the light comes bouncingright back out of the snow bank.Whatlittle sunlight is absorbed by snow isabsorbed equally over the wave-lengths of visible light, thus givingsnow its white appearance. So whilemany natural objects get their blue,red and yellow colors from absorbinglight, snow is stuck with its whitecolor because it reflects light.
