GREEN BAY,Wis.—AlthoughThanksgiving is three weeksaway, Piqua nativeBrandon Saine is al-ready counting hisblessings. On Oct.28, the former PiquaHigh School and TheOhio State Univer-sity football stand-out became engagedto his high schoolsweetheart, KylieWhitaker, also of Piqua, and, onMonday, was promoted to the 53-man roster of the Green BayPackers.

COLUMBUS — A clash of po-litical philosophies will play outat Ohio’s ballot box this fall inquestions concerning public em-ployee unions and a federalhealth-insurance mandate.Labor unions and their Demo-

cratic allies have launched amulti-million-dollar effort to re-peal a bill lawmakers passed thisspring limiting the collective bar-gaining abilities of 350,000 gov-ernment workers around thestate, a measure backed by Re-

publican Gov. John Kasich as away to contain costs.Tea party groups, joined by Re-

publicans, are pushing a consti-

tutional amendment that wouldprohibit government from requir-ing Ohioans to buy health insur-ance, a backlash against

President Barack Obama’s fed-eral health care overhaul.The two campaigns raise

sweeping themes — of class eq-uity, the roles of government,labor unions and taxpayers, andAmerica’s partisan divide.It is an unusually intense off-

year election that also includes athird ballot question. Issue 1, en-dorsed by the Ohio State Bar As-sociation, would increase the agelimit for judges from 70 to 75.On the two sides of Issue 2, the

collective bargaining battle, areBuilding a Better Ohio, a busi-ness-backed group defending thelaw, and We Are Ohio, the labor-backed coalition fighting it.

Ohioans to decide hot issues

STAFF REPORT

SIDNEY — A pending legal caseagainst Jamie J. Seitz, of Piqua,which included three counts of rapeand one count of extortion, has beendismissed at the request of the pros-ecution, with costs to be paid by thedefendant.The charges stemmed from an in-

cident that allegedly occurred inDecember 2010. Another case in-volving additional charges from the

same occasion is stillopen.The rape and extortion

case had not yet been totrial, as action on it hadbeen delayed pending theoutcome of the other case.In that case,Seitz was convicted in

May of one count of at-tempted murder, onecount of felonious assaultand three counts of kidnapping.Shelby County Common Pleas

Judge James F. Stevenson over-turned the verdict and grantedSeitz a new trial in August, follow-

ing testimony by three ju-rors in the original casestating the judge’s admon-ishments to avoid readingor viewing anything aboutthe ongoing trial had beendisobeyed and had influ-enced their decision tofind Seitz guilty.A pretrial in the at-

tempted murder/as-sault/kidnapping case has

been set for Nov. 21, with the jurytrial scheduled to begin Dec. 13.Proceedings will take place inShelby County Commons PleasCourt.

An old Remington manual typewriter sits on the sidewalk in downtown Piqua onThursday morning. It is notknown where the machine came from, but considering its age, it seems fitting that the typewriter was rest-ing directly under a high-water marker from the 1913 flood.

Brandon Saine with his fiancee KylieWhitaker, both of Piqua, nowreside in Green Bay,Wis., where he was named to the official teamroster on Monday.The two PHS graduates became engaged in Oc-tober and plan to marry next year.

The collective bargainingquestion places the entirelaw known as Senate Bill 5before voters and allowsthem to vote yes to keep it,or no to reject it.At a hefty 304 pages, the

measure makes significantchanges to Ohio law gov-erning public workers, nowconsidered the strongestsector of organized labornationally. More than 36percent of U.S. public work-ers were unionized in 2010,compared to 6.9 percent ofprivate workers, accordingto the Bureau of Labor Sta-tistics. The bill was intro-duced Feb. 1 and wassigned into law March 31,after protests that packedthe Ohio Statehouse.The law bans strikes,

scraps binding arbitration,and eliminates the ability ofunions representing teach-ers, police, firefighters, stateemployees and other publicworkers to bargain for sickpay and pension benefits.Employees would be re-quired to contribute at least10 percent toward theirpensions and 15 percent to-ward their health insur-ance, and employers wouldbe prohibited from pickingup any pension costs — apractice that cost them $2.9billion in 2009. Unionscould still bargain forwages, hours, terms andconditions and, in somecases, safety equipment.Building a Better Ohio

and We Are Ohio haveflooded the airwaves withdueling TV spots as part oftheir campaigns on Issue 2.The pro-Issue 2 cam-

paign focuses on the billgiving local governmentsand school districts theflexibility they need to bal-ance budgets. Between thelines, that message sug-gests cities, townships,schools and other publicemployers have been ham-strung by unionized em-ployees’ demands.“People are recognizing

that we can’t continue

down this path and we sim-ply can’t sustain it,” saidcampaign spokeswomanConnie Wehrkamp. “We’vegone back to the taxpayersand said do you want tosupport this levy or thatlevy, and overwhelminglythey’ve said ‘no.’ Taxpayershave hit the brake.”The opposition empha-

sizes the role of public em-ployees — particularlyfirefighters— in protectingcommunities, and toutstheir willingness in recentyears to take salary andbenefit concessions. Stateworkers, for example,agreed to unpaid furloughs— an effective pay cut —under the state’s lastbudget.“SB 5 takes away the

rights and voices of hard-working Ohioans who havebeen problem solvers bysaving the state and theirlocal communities hun-dreds of millions of dollars,”said We Are Ohio spokes-woman Melissa Fazekas.The federal govern-

ment’s role in health care isbeing questioned by pro-moters of Issue 3, the OhioHealth Care FreedomAmendment, which seeksto exempt Ohio from the in-surance mandate.Campaign manager Jeff

Longstreth said Ohioansperceive they are less freewith each passing day.“There is a real fear thatgovernment is getting toopowerful and intrudinginto different aspects of ourlives,” he said.Opponents of the amend-

ment, including some legalexperts, say courts — notvoters — will decidewhether Ohioans mustcomply with the healthcare overhaul’s mandatoryhealth insurance provi-sions. They warn of unin-tended consequences fromthe question’s broad prohi-bitions against governmentintervention in the healthcare system that could hurtOhio’s ability to enforce re-lated state laws and regu-lations.

To the Editor:Forty years ago Iwas recruited to become

a teacher at Piqua High School. The firsttime I drove into the city therewas an entrysign that stated Piqua — City of Opportu-nity. Now after 40 years of being a Piquad, Icantrulysay that Ihavebeenblessed to takeadvantage of the many opportunities thiscity has offered to me andmy family. I havehadtheopportunity to teachandmakeadif-ference in the lives of countless students.MywifeandI tookadvantageof theopportunityto raise four children in this communitydou-bly blessed with a nurturing and secure en-vironment. The children attended PiquaSchools where they were well-served by aknowledgeable staff that provided a greateducation and equipped them with the op-portunity to attend and graduate from col-lege.After our children began attendingPiqua

schools, my wife seized the opportunity tobegin her college education within the com-munityatEdisonandnowhasbeenteachingin Piqua for nearly 20 years. Finally, amongthemost gratifying of opportunities broughtaboutbymyresidenceandteaching inPiquawas to have a former student who took myAfricanAmericanHistory class,emergeas agifted writer. Christina DeLaet created for

me the opportunity to share with the worldcommunity the struggle for freedom inwrit-ingmyfamilyhistorynarrative calledLucy’sStory and the soon to be released BetweenTwo Suns: The Berean Experience. For ateacher it simply doesn’t get anybetter thanthat.I write these things not only to acknowl-

edge a few of the many opportunities but Iwant to especially encourage others to takeadvantage of the lifetime of opportunitiesnow being offered through Piqua CitySchools. I urge the community to follow theleadership of theboard of education indoingtheRIGHTthing inworking topass the levytobuild threenewschoolswith47percent ofthemoneybeingmadeavailable throughthestate.Forty years later the entry sign coming

into the city reads, Piqua —Where VisionBecomesReality.I share thevision forPiquawith the board of education in building forthe educational future of our community. Ithasbeensaid that the time isalwaysright todowhat is RIGHTand the fulfillment of thedreammeans passing the levy on Nov. 8 foranOPPORTUNITY of a lifetime.

To the Editor:When my family and I retired from

the Air Force, we had a tough decision tomake. Where should we live and whereshould we send our kids to school? Weconsidered Troy, Piqua, and my home-town of Sidney. Eliminating Troy waseasy. It was just as easy selecting Piquaonce we saw the PHS and PJHS facili-ties and met the staff. That decision pro-vided our children with the educationalfoundation needed to successfully pur-sue college degrees, the opportunity tobe a part of a state championship foot-ball team, and to be part of a top 10 na-tionally ranked show choir. Consideringwhere Sidney schools are right now andknowing the many opportunities ourkids have had at Piqua schools com-pared to Troy, we know we made theright choice when we had to make thattough decision. In a few days however,we’ll be faced with making anothertough decision.My first thought was, “why do I want

the financial burden of paying for newschools?” My two oldest children gradu-ated from PHS and attend The OhioState University. My youngest is a PHSfreshman. My kids won’t benefit fromthe new schools — but then again,maybe they will. MAYBE they’ll gradu-

ate from college and look for a town withgreat schools to raise their families andstart their professional careers. If webuild it, maybe they will come.My second thought was about the

many times I’ve heard that new schoolscan bring in new businesses and raiseproperty values. Passing the levy doesnot guarantee either will happen. Thenagain,maybe the next family or businesslooking to move will look for a commu-nity that cares about investing in edu-cation and improving their communityjust like we did. If we build it, maybethey will come.PHS and PJHS are fantastic facilities.

When these schools were built manyyears ago I’m sure tough decisions weremade. However, the Piqua communitystepped up and made it happen. Now it’sour turn to make the tough decision andbuild these desperately needed schools.It might hurt a little bit, but it’s what isneeded and now is the time. We need totake advantage while the Ohio SchoolFacilities Commission is willing to pay47 percent of the cost. It might not bewhat turns the economy around forPiqua, but maybe if we build it, they willcome!

To the Editor:While watching the Tavis Smiley show

on PBS a few weeks ago I was surprisedat what his guest that night said.Hewentthrough a litany of government programsthe Tea Party is against.One of these was public schools. To not

be hypocritical, they would have to agreepublic schools are an abridgment of a siz-able block of American citizens’ constitu-tional rights, since there is no right to beeducated — only a right to pursue an ed-ucation. Education is only a privilege.Even if it were a right, no one has an ob-ligation to provide it for someone else. Forexample, the second amendment detailscitizens’ right to keep and bear firearms,but no one is obligated to buy a firearmfor someone else.The only legitimate reason for govern-

ment to exist and operate through taxa-tion is to protect its citizens rights frompredators, and provide services that 100percent of citizens need such as nationaldefense, roadways and safety services.But, not everyone goes to public schools

or agrees with their curriculum of sub-versive ideas such as evolution,moral rel-ativism and planned parenthood, just toname a few.Yet, everyone is forced to sup-port public schools just because they arein the majority. This is un-American. Our

Pledge of Allegiance states “liberty andjustice for all” not just for the majorityvote or opinion.School levies are an unjust seizure of

the fruits of others’ labor in which thereis a right. We also have a right to not beforced to support that which we don’tagree with.Our rights come from our Creator, not

from government, or majority voting, andhave been reduced to a contest we didn’teven agree to. It’s a remiss and MickeyMouse government that not only allows,this extortion but promotes it.To be fair and responsible, public

schools should be “means tested” to ferretout the wealthy who are out to “game thesystem” for their own ujust enrichment atthe expense of taxpayers. Some of thesebig stiffs have a family income over$150,000.Stop themajoritarian tyranny. Stop the

bullying. Promote instead fairness, per-sonal responsibility, liberty and justice —for all.As program director Darryl Parks of

WLW 700 radio says, “you’re stupid if youvote for these school levies.”Don’t be stupid. Vote against this new

tax.— Louis Jacomet

To the Editor:John Kasich had no

qualms accepting $50K ayear (plus $20K for astaffer) from OSU forseven years to speakseven times annually.Other prominent Ohioans,like Rob Portman andJohn Glenn, did it for free.Now our governor sug-gests that public sectorworkers who labor allyear for that pay are over-compensated. It stands toreason that someone whomade their fortune fromWall Street, where billionsare made every year bypeople who provide nei-ther goods or services fortheir fellow citizens,would not recognize thevalue of those who actu-ally do serve the public,and are fairly paid to doso.His backers are count-

ing on Ohioans to befooled by the insidious adsbeing run to support Issue2, and why not? That kindof deceit worked well forhim in last year’s guber-natorial race, where hepilloried Ted Stricklandfor raising taxes, when inreality all he did was todelay the final phase ofhis predecessor’s poorlytimed tax cut.The whole campaign for

Issue 2 has been to createa backlash against publicworkers by suggestingthat not only are theyoverpaid, but have causedthe pain and suffering ofthose actors in the printand TV spots. We’re to be-lieve that all Ohio’s eco-nomic woes can be laid atthe doorstep of greedy pub-lic workers, particularlythose who belong tounions. Breaking unionsseems to be a common goalof the crop of newly electedRepublican governors.Theparty’s long held dislike ofunions has been evenmoreamped up since the hor-rendous “Citizens United”decision by the SupremeCourt that unleashed un-limited corporate money toshape and manipulateelections to favor thosethey can depend on to dotheir bidding. Unions arevirtually the only counter-weight, and certainly notan equivalent one, to thattsunami of corporate cash,and their dilution, if nottotal elimination, will tiltthe equation even furtherthan it already is. The lat-est television ad sinks to anew low. As we are tor-tured by another steadyprocession of actors por-traying the deepest possi-ble misery, a female voice,speaking in the first per-son, talks about how theymakemore than “us,” havebetter everything than“us,” and now want evenmore from “us.” Are we tobelieve that these poordowntrodden souls havepooled their last pennies torun this ad?

Iamamorning person. I hop out of bed before the alarmrings,makecoffee,read thepaper,listen to theradio,feedthe cats, empty the garbage, make breakfast, read my

email,surf thenet,paysomebills,andpadaroundthehousetrying not to wake the undeadwoman upstairs.Three hours later, I hear movement. An hour after that

she appears, walking zombielike to the coffee machine. Iknowbetter thantosay“goodmorning.”Ikeepperfectly still,hoping she won’t notice me and bite my head off.Then shepads away to her private den where, behind drawn blindsand closed doors, she makes secret potions out of chickenbones and eye of newt.Not that I’ve ever seen her do it, butwhat other explanation could there be?Years after we were married, I found out the morning

zombie trait runs in herfamily. When her sister’snew husband said he hadcooked his wife breakfast,the rest of the familylooked at him withstunned “Are you out ofyourmind?” expressions.“She eats breakfast

withyou?”someone finallyasked in shock, knowingfirsthand how dangerousand foolhardy that would be.“Oh,no, I’m not crazy,”he said.“I just drop it and run. It’s

like feeding the raptors in ‘Jurassic Park.’”The undead, zombies, raptors. Is that any way to talk

about our loved ones?Hey, if the bloody fangs fit ...I used to think all these vampire/zombie/living dead

movies and TV shows were based on bad dreams or somekind of primal fear. Now I’m starting to wonder if insteadtheyhave todowithreal experiences livingwith therealun-dead.I’mthinking thatBramStokerwasprobablya funkindof

guywho got up before the alarm rang,made the coffee, etc.,etc., but that his wife was one of the living dead until noon.Howmuch of a stretch would it be to write “Dracula” aboutpeople like that -- the fearof thesun,the insomnia,theaver-sion to mirrors, the shuffling walk, the odd mechanicalspeechpattern,thewayanimalshangtheirheadsandskulkaway from them.Sure, there is very little blood sucking andsleeping in coffins in real life, but that was poetic license.Maybe “The Thing,” “Night of the Living Dead” and “Zom-bieland”wereallwrittenby thespousesofnon-morningpeo-ple. After all, it is only the people who live with them whowould see this side of their personalities. By dusk, the un-deadareasaliveas therestofus.Dinnerguestswouldneverknow that this morning, Stephen King would have beenafraid to knock on our front door.How is it that some people aremorning people and some

are not? Is it because they lie on the sofa all night in front oftheTV,jerkingcompletelyawakenowandthen todeny thatthey are dozing at all? Suddenly at midnight, they’re nottired.Maybe a fewmore hours of catnapping and they’ll beready for bed, but not yet. Then they complain they can’tseem to fall asleep. Hmmmm. I wonder why? If only therewas something simple they could do that would help themget an entire night of deep,renewing sleep.Butwhat?Pills?Hotmilk? Back rubs?Hypnosis?Around noon, the zombie starts to come to life.The color

returns to her face, she stops walking like a mummy, hertrancelike state seems to break, she’s even able to say a fewsimple words. She has no memory of her body being takenover by the forces of evil. It’s like a before-and-aftermomentfrom“TheExorcist.”Now I think I knowwhere they got theidea for that story.

FRAZIER MOOREAP Television Writer

NEW YORK — RegisPhilbin wades into the stu-dio audience to chat duringa commercial break.“Thanks, everybody, for

coming,” he says sincerely,then, with a dash of comicbluster, cracks: “Anybodywant to pay me a tribute?”“Don’t leave!” a woman

cries out from the backrow.She might as well save

her breath.After ruling morning

television for 28 years asNew York’s Everyman-about-town, the co-hostwho made performanceart of TV gab, and thebroadcast veteran wholikens being on TV to“washing my face or hav-ing lunch — as normal ascan be,” the 80-year-oldPhilbin is exiting what fora decade has been knownas “Live! With Regis andKelly,” where, never at aloss for words, he haspresided alongside co-hostKelly Ripa. But his lastday is Nov. 18. There’s noturning back now.As everyone remembers,

Philbin made his an-nouncement on the showlast January: “I don’t wantto alarm anybody,” hebegan before dropping thebomb.This fall, during the long

goodbye, “Live!” has beenfull of valedictories andretrospectives befittingPhilbin’s marathon run.His final week will begiven over to special guestson the order of David Let-terman, Donald Trump,Don Rickles and former co-host Kathie Lee Gifford, aswell as Tony Bennett, JoshGroban and Bret Michaelsperforming.The final show will be “a

moving hourlong tribute toRegis,” according to theshow, “with many sur-prises for Regis and theaudience.”And that will be that.

The following week, theshow will drop back totemporary solo billing —“Live!With Kelly”—whilethe search begins for theperson who will perma-nently claim Philbin’schair.But with all this transi-

tion in the offing, it’s worthkeeping two things inmind.“Everybody says to me,

‘Oh, you’re retiring,’” notesPhilbin, who then erupts:“I’m NOT retiiiiring! I’mMOVING ON!”The other thing: Despite

the irrevocability ofPhilbin’s decision to “moveon,” he harbors misgivings,understandable mixedfeelings. No wonder. Thelonger you do somethingand drink in its success,the harder it can be tojudge when enough isenough.During an interview

after a recent morning’sbroadcast at his Manhat-tan studio, Philbin engagesin little of his signatureRegis-riffing. Looking backand looking ahead, he isreflective, earnest, a bit

wistful.For a while, he explains,

“every time a new contractcame up, I would say tomyself, ‘Maybe it’s time toget out.’ Then I would say,‘Awww, what am I going todo? I might as well con-tinue.’“Within the 28-year

span there were timeswhen I doubted that whatI was doing was the rightthing, was interesting, wasfunny,” he goes on. “Maybeone day we were a bust,and you would say to your-self, ‘Maybe this is over,and I can’t do it anymore.’You have those doubts. Butthen it becomes 10 years,then it was 15, 20, 25.”Now, truly, it seems

enough’s enough.“This time, I said, ‘I re-

ally would like to do some-thing else before I quit (theTV business).’ And franklyI’d like to have a little timeoff. I started in 1955 as (anNBC) page over at 30Rock, so it’s been a longtime.”His wife, Joy, is support-

ing his decision, he says,“But I think she’s kind ofworried: ‘He’s going to behome all day — what’s hegoing to do?’ Frankly, Ithink she’s a little con-cerned about it, to be hon-est with you, and I don’tblame her.“So what do you think?”

he abruptly asks his inter-viewer, switching on hisRegis bombast. “AM Imak-ing amis-TAKE here? IS ittime for Regis to MOVEON?”But it doesn’t matter

what others think. Philbinis already separating him-self from the show, and hisoffice bears that out.Seated at his desk, evenwith a life-size cutout ofDeanMartin still standingbeside him and the cush-ion in his chair displayingthe logo of his belovedNotre Dame, Philbin issurrounded by growingdisarray.“We’re in the process of

tearing this room apart,”

he notes. “You collect 28years’ worth of stuff, andyou hate to suddenly put itin there” — he indicatesthe trash can — “so we’reputting it over there,” andhe points to boxes fillingup with souvenirs and cu-rios.“I feel almost relieved

that I have made a deci-sion,” he says. “And frankly,I’m enjoying the last fewshows more than I had thelast 20 years. I guessthere’s a sense that, ‘Hey,enjoy it now, because thisis coming to an end.’ ButI’m not sure how I’m goingto feel, not the next day,but the next month, just incase I really don’t move onto something else. And Imight not: Who wants anold man, you know whatI’m saying?”Weeks ago, he had spo-

ken of starring in somesort of reality show, butnow dismisses that notion.“It wasn’t for me,” he

says. “There are a couple ofother things I’m thinkingabout, but I don’t want tomake a decision until all ofthis is over. Then I canthink clearly.”Meanwhile, he looks for-

ward to easing the pace ofhis social life.The host chat segment

of “Live!” — the hosts’ im-promptu give-and-takethat precedes each day’sinterviews with celebrityguests — “is what madethe show,” Philbin notes,and it was often fueled bythe respective on-the-townsocial whirl of Regis andhis co-host.“But I sometimes would

have to force myself to goout and see a play or go toa party that I really didn’tcare about,” he says, “tohave something that I

could talk about the nextday.”The host chat solidified

his persona as the littleguy against the worldsounding off about familiarfrustrations, even as helived a life rubbing elbowswith fellow celebrities. Hewas the toast of the townwith the common touch.“It all would come to-

gether,” he acknowledges.“But I would worry aboutit. That was a lot of pres-sure.”“We’ve had so much

fun,” said Ripa, and, withno need to specify what “it”means, she added, “I don’twant to deal with it untilthe actual 18th. I’m notthinking about it. I don’twant to get emotional.”After Nov. 18, the show

Philbin built will be left inher custody, as well as ex-ecutive producer MichaelGelman.“I always felt like,

there’s no way Regis isever going to stop,” saidGelman, who, at age 50,has been running “Live!”since his 20s. He said hehad expected Philbin tostick around another yearor two — until he learnedotherwise that morninglast January.“I understand it,” he

said. “Regis deserves abreak after all this timeand I’m getting used to theidea that he isn’t going tobe here. But it’s still goingto be really strange.”Now it falls to Gelman

to navigate a smooth tran-sition to a new host after afew weeks or months ofsubstitutes (such as JerrySeinfeld, Nov. 21-23) and,of course, on-the-air try-outs. A process he aptlycalls “dating,” it workedspectacularly well in bring-ing Ripa into the fold.“I don’t want to drag it

out for too long,” Gelmansaid, “but we also want tomake the right decision.We want to make sure thisisn’t a quickie Vegas wed-ding that ends in divorce.”“I’m curious who they

will finally get,” saysPhilbin. “It’s a big decisionfor them, and especially forKelly. I think it should beabout who she reallywants.”Once he’s out the door,

he plans to sample theshow.“If I wake up in time, I’ll

take a look,” he promises.“If I don’t, they’re on theirown.”Chances are, Philbin

will be awake at that hour— but otherwise occupied.He and wife Joy will con-tinue playing the occa-sional musical date aroundthe country. And the dayafter saying farewell to“Live!” he will embark on apublicity tour for his newmemoir, “How I Got ThisWay.” First stop: a booksigning at Notre Dame.

1. Four spades. Youseldom raise partnerwith only two trumps,but you don’t have muchchoice in this case. Part-ner’s jump-rebid of threespades is highly invita-tional and shows at leasta six-card spade suit, forwhich the Q-x is ade-quate support. It wouldbe wrong to rebid yourhearts and suppressyour spade support, andit would be positivelyunthinkable to bid three

notrump without a clubstopper.2. Four notrump. Up

to this point, you’veshown no more than aminimum opening bid,and it’s now time for youto make a move towardslam. Unless partnerhas no aces, you shouldhave a good play for 12tricks. Partner couldhave, say, [S] AJ10xxx[H] xx [D] Qx [C] Axx, inwhich case you’d surelywant to be in slam. Butif he has [S] KJ10xxx [H]xx [D] Qx [C] KQx, youwouldn’t. The only wayto resolve this issue isvia Blackwood, planningto bid six if partner hasone or two aces, and tostop in five if he hasnone.3. Three notrump.

This violates the generalprinciple that youshould not bid notrumpwith a void in partner’ssuit, but the alternativebid of four clubs is evenmore unattractive. Part-ner is unlikely to havefour clubs, and even if hedoes, three notrumpmight still turn out to bethe best contract.4. Four spades. Be-

cause of your high pointcount and K-Q of spades,it is natural to think ofslam, but partner shouldnot have three aces andlong spades and bid thisway if three spades isnot 100 percent forcing.Partner could have [S]AJ10xxx [H] xx [D] xx[C] AQx, in which caseyou wouldn’t want to beany higher than four.

Tomorrow: Missed op-portunity.

Doing thishelps me to rememberto take the pills with mymeal.My daughter said it

Regis Philbin is movingon — but not retiring

Long-time talk show host Regis Philbin greets mem-bers of the audience during a commercial break on“Live! with Regis and Kelly,” in New York. After rulingmorning television for 28 years as New York’s Every-man-about-town, the co-host who made performanceart of TV gab is exiting what for a decade has beenknown as “Live!

Question: My one-year-old has started slap-ping us. He also screams alot, often for no reason, orat least we can’t figure outthe reason. He is a verybusy little boy and won’tsit still for longer than afew seconds. Is it too earlyto begin disciplining him?

Answer: If by “disci-pline” you mean punishinghim in some way when heslaps or screams, the an-swer is yes, he is much tooyoung for this sort of ap-proach to do anything butmake matters muchworse. Until age two at thevery least, a child’s atten-tion span is too short forhim to make the connec-tion between misbehaviorand a specific conse-quence. There are excep-tions to this general rule,but it’s better to err on theside of caution. Betweenthe second and third birth-days, attention spanlengthens to the pointwhere the child can makeand remember simple as-sociations of that sort.That doesn’t mean,

however, that you have tolet your son slap and

scream to his heart’s con-tent for another year ortwo. Concerning the for-mer, the key is to antici-pate when he’s likely toslap and put him down be-fore it occurs. If it’s impos-sible to put him down oryou’re taken somewhat bysurprise, then restrain hishand or block it. Then,gently holding his hand,look at him and say “No!”Don’t yell, but say itfirmly, making sure youhave his attention.At thatpoint, put him down andwalk away from him—again, if you can.As for screaming for no

reason, that’s what someinfants do when they findtheir voice. It’s compara-ble to what puppies some-times do when they

discover they can bark:they begin barking ateverything and anything.The only thing you can doabout this is ignore it. Ifyou don’t, it’s only going toget worse. If he’s scream-ing incessantly and for nodiscernible reason otherthan to hear himselfscream, pick him up andput him gently in his criband walk away. Then goback and pick him upwhen he stops. Mind you,I make no guaranteeswith any of these recom-mendations because thereis no “one size fits all solu-tion” for these sorts ofproblems with infants andyoung toddlers.As for your son’s con-

stant state of activity,some toddlers are very ac-tive and others are not.Again, I make no guaran-tees, but I do have threesuggestions that shouldmake the situation moretolerable for all concerned.First, I strongly recom-

mend that you childproofyour home. Put up anyand all household objectsthat present danger tohim or you don’t want bro-

ken. You should also gateoff the kitchen, stairs, andany other area of thehome that is impossible tochildproof. The idea is toallow him as much free-dom of movement and ex-ploration as possible.Second, eliminate toy

clutter. Children of allages will play more cre-atively and independentlywith five toys than theywill with fifty. The moretoy clutter, the more thechild will demand atten-tion and engage in pur-poseless activity. Fewertoys allows a child to focusmore effectively andtherefore be less “driven.”Third, eliminate elec-

tronic “noise” to the great-est degree possible. Turnoff the television whilehe’s awake, for example.Just as noise pollution ag-itates young children, aquiet home has a calmingeffect. I think that’s true ofadults as well, by the way.

Halloween is over andI couldn’t be happier.A lot of drama seemed

to come with it this year,Tegan was a hot mess.This is the little girl whohas almost changed cos-tume ideas for 360 days.She wanted to be aPower Puff Girl, aprincess and even Billiethe Exterminator. Butwhen push came toshove the toss up was ei-ther a Ninja or a kittycat. She combed over thecostume magazine andover and over the cos-tume web sites. Sheloved looking at thescary costumes andtalked a big show. Butwhen Halloween itemscame out in the stores wecouldn’t even get her togo down the aisle. Shewas like a monkey onBrad’s back when hewanted to help her find acostume. My girlfriendoffered to take her andher sister to the Hal-loween store and Teganstraight up said “Nothanks, Sissy can go, butI’m staying home.” Andno matter what youcould not change hermind.A week before the ac-

tual Trick or Treat date,Grandma Canan invitedthe girls to go to theGreenville BrethrenHome to Trick or Treatand to visit Great-grandma Harmon. Theydidn’t bat an eyelash. Ofcourse the fact that theirtwo favorite cousinswere also there made allthe difference in theworld. Alani wentdressed as plannedDraculara. (She’s a newcharacter that’s out, thedaughter of Dracula) Wehave pretty much knownwhat Alani was going tobe for six months. Shegets her mind set andshe knows. As for Tegan,we were still tossingaround a kitty or aNinja. The Ninja cos-tume was the one I couldfind first. She loved it.Well, at least for one tripout. After that shewouldn’t wear it againbecause people thoughtshe was a boy. But sheseemed to make itthrough that trick ortreat situation fairly un-scarred by monsters inmasks.My relief didn’t last

long when Mrs. Lavy(their kindergartenteacher) was carryingTegan out of school one

day because she was ter-rified. Either boys inmasks or jackets that zipup to look like skeletons.She let us know that shewas shaking she was soscared. If there had beenone last straw of hope ofher going trick or treat-ing on Beggar’s Night,that was all shot topieces. Now I have a lit-tle girl that isn’t going totrick or treat at any cost.And now my pretty littleDraculara was laying inbed and told her dad thatshe didn’t think sheneeded to go trick ortreating either, ‘she hadenough candy.”“Enough candy??” I’m

not even sure I can claimthis child any longer.Hah But in reality this ismy least favorite holiday.It has been ever since Iwas a little girl. Some-thing about the givingand taking that unset-tles me. Not only did Idislike trick or treating,I even disliked passingout the candy. Strange Iknow. I guess a little ofmy weirdness for thisholiday has melded intomy girls.So, Oct. 31 arrives. We

have one girl thinkingabout going but getscranky and decides shedoesn’t even want to go.The other one has nowdressed herself as ablack cat and is justgoing to ride along andmaybe pass out candywith some friends. Firststop, Aunt Bevs, only onechild goes in and comesback out with two sets ofcandy for her sister.Hmm..someone gotlucky. House two isGrandma Canan’s house.We are going to stopthere and have somechili and hang out. Alanidecides she is going to godown to Maria’s and passout candy. So Brad takesher down there. Whatdoes she do? She clingsto her dad, refuses topass out candy or to evenaccept some. I think theygot their mom’s weirdojean when it comes toHalloween. But it stilldoesn’t stop us for dress-ing up as something cuteand funny. Maybe weshould just embrace our-selves and put all thistrick or treat behind usand just wear our cos-tumes out on any givenday. Sounds like morefun to me.

Heather Canan is amother of twin girls. Sheand her husband, Brad,reside with their girls inBradford. You can e-mailher atpdcmomcol@yahoo.com.

SIDNEY — At theheight of the 1980s, mostCatholic institutions hadvery active folk musicministry groups.Lehman Catholic High

School’s folk music min-istry was headed by thenLehman parent MarianneDunson. Since that time,students have come andgone and tastes havechanged. Lehman’s musicministry in recent yearshas consisted of congrega-tional singing accompa-nied by piano and led bystudent cantors.The school’s music min-

istry is taking anotherturn this year. A student-led group of vocalists haveformed a choir that willsing at the school’s weeklyMasses. The choir will beaccompanied by some mu-sical instrumentation aswell.Senior Emily Pax and

junior Ethan Jock are theforce behind the enhance-ment of the music for

Lehman liturgies. Pax hasplayed piano for schoolMasses since her fresh-man year. She has alsobeen involved in musicministry at her parish, St.Mary Church in Piqua.Jock is involved in theyouth choir at Holy An-gels Church in Sidney andalso cantors at Masses atthe church.While still encouraging

all the students to join inthe singing during schoolMasses, Jock is directinga student choir to helplead the singing. Thechoir will also sing a med-itative hymn after com-munion. Jock continues toact as cantor althoughother students will bejoining Jock in cantoringfor liturgical celebrationsin the future.“I wanted to form a

choir so that we mightbetter praise the Lordwith song,” said Jock.“Since Jesus is truly pres-ent at Mass through the

Eucharist, it is my hopethat we can get people in-volved in the liturgicalcelebration and can beeven more prayerful as aschool community.”Most of the choir mem-

bers are active in theLehman Music Depart-ment either as membersof the Lehman Lime-lighters Show Choir orthe Cavalier Choir, butthe group is open to anystudent. The studentspractice each week in theschool’s choral musicroom.In addition to Jock, cur-

rent choir members in-clude William Duritsch,Dan Davis, Kris Lee, Na-talie Davis, Dana Jenkins,Olivia Sehlhorst, MilleWildenhaus, SamanthaNeumeier, MaKennaCabe, Tori Tullis, MicaylaHanover, Grace Jackson,Abbie Vogann, ElainaSnyder, Sarah Cabe, KatieRossman, and Julia Har-relson.

The first communionmeditation, an arrange-ment of “Ave Maria,” fea-tured the choir and threeviolinists along withpiano. Sophomores GraceWinhoven and GraceJackson and freshmanRachel Remencus startedon violin while studentsat DeColores MontessoriSchool in Greenville. Win-hoven and Jackson arecurrently members of theDayton Philharmonic Or-chestra’s Junior Strings.“The violin adds so

much to our musical ac-companiment,” Jocknoted. “The classicalsound produced by the in-strument really adds tothe solemn nature of theMass.”Students and faculty

attend Mass at least oncea week. Liturgies are usu-ally celebrated on Fridaysexcept on weeks whenHoly Days of Obligationoccur. Mass is then cele-brated on the Holy Day.-

he began “I went in Mon-day morning like usual, gota (weight) lift in and wentto my first special teamsmeeting. During the meet-ing, Coach (Shawn)Slocum — special teamscoach — told me I would beat left wing on the line up.It caught me off guard, be-cause they don’t put peopleon practice squad on thefirst string, so it was a sur-prise,” he said.

“I sort of gave him ananswer as ‘Um, OK?’ Atthat point I knew some-thing was up,” Saine said.“As I was walking to mynext meeting, vice presi-dent of finance Russ Ballpulled me aside and noti-fied me that I was beingpulled up and I signed mynew contract. It was allsurreal. When I went intothe team locker room aftermy next meeting, my jer-sey was hanging on it.Being on the practicesquad, our lockers areaway from the team. I no-ticed no one else had a jer-sey in the locker next tomine. That’s when the ex-citement set it. I had thejersey in my locker roombecause we had a team pic-ture that morning and Iwas going to be a part of it.It was a total surprise.”

The congenial 5-foot-11-inch, 220-pound Saine saidhe always remained hope-ful that he’d get activatedwithin the Packer organi-zation.

“I’ve always known acouple things would haveto happen for me to get achance to be on the activeroster. So, this whole timeI’ve worked hard to be theplayer they want me to be.I wanted to leave no doubtin their minds that I wasready, so I made sure I dideverything right and be-come the best that I couldfrom the get go.”

He added, “Being on thepractice squad is very sim-ilar to be on the team. Wewould do everything a nor-mal active player would dobut play in a game. Youdon’t travel with the teamfor away games, you don’tstay in hotels the night be-fore a home game and yousit in a press box homegames.” Still, he was ex-pected to attend all meet-ings, practices andmandatory events.

“There are eight practicesquad players per NFLteam,” he explained. “I wasvery confident that I wouldbe signed on. I would tellmy fiancee — Kylie —every day ‘When I get acti-vated…’. It was never ‘If Iget activated.”

Voted as Mr. Ohio ofFootball in 2006, Saine hasalways been a runningback since his days atPiqua High School andTheOhio State Universitywhere he was named re-cipient of the Rex KernAward for outstandingback from the OSUcoaches and a Parade All-American as well as a BigTen All-Academic scholar.

“I have the ability tocatch passes out of thebackfield and utilize myspeed as well,” said the sonof Wendi Croft of Piqua. “Iwill do whatever it takes tobe on the field and help theteam win. I have two verystrong and talented run-ning backs ahead of me —Ryan Grant and JamesStarks — so for now, Ithink I’ll be most utilizedon special teams. I don’tmind it. I’m just a rookielearning something newevery day and I get tolearn from two vets whohave been great mentorsalong the way.”

When asked how hisroutine has changed sincebeing activated, Saine re-sponded “My daily routinehasn’t changed much. Wepractice once a day, liftweights three or four timesa week and have teammeetings and positionmeetings the rest of theday. The only thing differ-ent will be traveling everyweek with the team andbeing on the sidelines hop-ing to see the field. Theweight room staffs in the

NFL are a lot more consci-entious of the poundingyou take in the game offootball. So most of our lift-ing is injury prevention.”

Since moving to GreenBay earlier this summer,Piqua’s native son spentthe first six weeks living ina dorm and/or hotel roomwith a roommate. “I wasfortunate enough to haveKylie come visit for LaborDay weekend to find me aplace to live.When I foundout I was on the practicesquad, I had eight days tomove out of the hotel andfind a place to live. I alsohad no car, so luckily whenshe came she found me ahouse to rent and I got acar all within three daysshe was here while I prac-ticed every day.”

Brandon and Kylie lo-cated a house that iswithin a mile of LambeauField and convenient whenreporting to early morningworkouts. “We are also in areally nice neighborhoodand I have a teammate ofmine that lives right nextdoor to me.”

“The once piece of adviceI kept getting was to makesure to buy a car with four-wheel drive so I made sureto take care of that rightaway,” he added, referringto Green Bay’s winter ex-tremities. “The snow getspretty bad here for aboutfour months since we areright off Lake Michigan.”

Brandon and Kylie,2007 and 2006 PHS grad-uates, respectively, metwhile on the Indians’ trackteam through a mutualbest friend, Pete Rolf.Kylie, daughter of Jerryand Lisa Whitaker ofPiqua, went to OtterbeinUniversity before transfer-ring to OSU. Saine gradu-ated from OSU in March2011 with a bachelor of sci-ence degree in business ad-ministration specializingin economics.

“If the NFL didn’t workout, my dream job wouldhave been to work in the fi-nancial department of anNFL team,” he said.

Saine proposed to Kylieon Oct. 28 and, of course,she answered “yes.” “I pro-posed along the walkingtrails that we walk ourdogs at every day. Since wehaven’t had much time toexplore, we didn’t have afavorite restaurant orplace in Green Bay yet. Iwas nervous but very ex-cited.” Saine andWhitakerwill exchange weddingvows next spring inColumbus.

Saine is described bymany Piqua fans as an un-pretentious and a humbleyoung man who has al-ways remained groundedand true to his beginnings.

“I’m not much differentthan the way you charac-terized me,” respondedSaine. “My mom, WendiCroft and grandmother,Debbie Chaney, raised meand I pretty much owe itall to them.Between them,my two sisters and Kylie’sfamily, they made me intothe guy I am today.”

When asked about men-tors in his lifetime, Sainebegan “I’ve been fortunateenough to have Kylie’s dad,Jerry, be a great father fig-ure to me for the past sixyears. He, along with mygrandfather (Jeff) hasshownmewhat it means tobe a man. I also have theutmost respect for PHSCoach (Bill) Nees. He is aguy that instilled a lot offaith in me when I wasyoung and has always beenmore than a coach to me.”

“In fact, when I washome for the Piqua footballgame last week,” Sainecontinued, “I spoke to theteam before the gamestarted. When I was fin-ished. Coach Nees lookedat me and told me ‘Fiveyears ago you would havenever thought of doingthis’ and he’s right. I’vebeen blessed to have a lostof positive mentors andfans the last six or so yearsof my life.”

It’s been a banner yearfor No. 33 whose careerwith the Packers is just thetip of the iceberg.

Boehner: There’sroom for revenue

Legion Americanism test planned

GOP blocks Obama planWASHINGTON (AP) —

Republicans in the SenateThursday dealt PresidentBarack Obama the third ina string of defeats on hisstimulus-style jobs agenda,blocking a $60 billionmeasure for building andrepairing infrastructurelike roads and rail lines.

Supporters of the failedmeasure said it wouldhave created tens of thou-sands of construction jobsand lifted the still-strug-

gling economy. But Repub-licans unanimously op-posed it for its taxsurcharge on the wealthyand spending totals theysaid were too high.

The 51-49 vote fell wellshort of the 60 votes re-quired under Senate pro-cedures to start work onthe bill. Every Republicanopposed the president, asdid Democrat Ben Nelsonof Nebraska and formerDemocrat Joe Lieberman,

I-Conn., who still alignswith the party.

Obama’s loss was any-thing but a surprise, butthe White House and itsDemocratic allies continueto press popular ideas fromObama’s poll-tested jobspackage in what Republi-cans say is nothing morethan a bare-knuckle at-tempt to gain a politicaledge by invoking themantra of jobs but doinglittle to seek compromise.

WASHINGTON (AP)House Speaker JohnBoehner said Thursdaythat “there’s room for rev-enue” as a congressionaldeficit-reduction supercom-mittee seeks $1.2 trillion ormore in deficit cuts overthe coming decade. But hesays it would require amajor overhaul of govern-ment benefit programs.

“Without real reform onthe entitlement side, I’mnot even going to put anynew revenue on the table,”Boehner said. Entitlementprograms include SocialSecurity, Medicare andMedicaid.

Boehner says he re-mains committed to help-ing the deficit panelsucceed.

QUARTERBACKSBraxton Miller never looked more in control at quarterback than he did in

Ohio State’s 33-29 win over Wisconsin last Saturday night. His 40-yard touch-down pass to Devin Smith for the game-winning score might have saved the season for OSU. But it also might have created slightly excessive expecta-tions of what Miller can do on a regular basis.

True freshman Tre Roberson, last year’s Mr. Football in Indiana, became IU’s starting quarterback two games ago. He replaced Edward Wright-Baker. Roberson has completed 60 percent of his passes for two touchdowns, with one interception, and has averaged 102 yards rushing a game as the starter.

Advantage: Even

< RUNNING BACKSIt’s obvious Dan Herron is determined to make up for lost

time in the six regular-season games he has been allowed to play after serving a six-game suspension. Herron made it two for two in 100-yard rushing games since his return when he ran for 160 yards against Wisconsin. Carlos Hyde, who has nearly disappeared from the offense since Herron’s return, could get more carries this week because No. 2 tailback

Jordan Hall suffered a sprained ankle against Wisconsin and No. 4 tailback Jaamal Berry has been suspended after being charged with assault.

Junior college transfer Stephen Houston leads Indiana with 577 yards and six touchdowns. He rushed for 151 yards on 19 carries in a 59-38 loss to Northwestern last week.

Advantage: Ohio State

RECEIVERSTo put it in recessionary terms, Ohio State’s wide receivers have had their

hours cut back or their jobs downsized. No OSU receiver has caught more than four passes in a game this season. Against Illinois, there was only one pass completion and at Miami no wide receiver had a catch.

Indiana lost two of its top three receivers earlier this week when Damarlo Belcher was booted off the team for that old favorite, a “violation of team rules,” and Duwyce Wilson suffered a season-ending knee injury. Belcher, who was suspended for the Northwestern game before being permanently separated from the team, caught 78 passes last season.

Advantage: Even< OFFENSIVE LINEMEN

Ohio State’s offensive line did a lot of good work when the offense rolled up 457 yards against Wisconsin. But also give the line credit for something it didn’t do. After having nine false start penalties in its previous three games, it had only one flag thrown for that violation last Saturday.

Center Will Matte (31 career starts) might be Indiana’s best offensive lineman, but he has missed the last two games with

a knee injury. IU’s depth chart lists him as a starter this week. Tackle Andre McDonald has 20 career starts. Indiana has used six different starting line-ups on its offensive line this season.

Advantage: Ohio State

< DEFENSIVE LINEMENJohn Simon and Johnathan Hankins have been solid all

season and now they’re getting some help. Adam Bellamy added a sack to the two Simon had against Wisconsin. Maybe the most impressive work the defensive line did in that game was holding the Badgers’ powerful running game to 89 yards.

It hasn’t been pretty for Indiana’s front seven on defense lately. In the last three games, the Hoosiers have given up

59, 45 and 59 points. Northwestern gained 616 yards (317 rushing) against them last week. Before that, Iowa went for 456 yards (203 rushing) and Wis-consin rolled for 524 yards (332 rushing). Three-year starter Adam Replogle (4 sacks) is probably the best defensive lineman IU has.

Advantage: Ohio State

< LINEBACKERSIt was no surprise that Andrew Sweat was the player pres-

suring Wisconsin quarterback Russell Wilson on the Badgers’ final play last Saturday. He leads the Buckeyes in tackles with 57. Freshman linebacker Ryan Shazier continued to impress, getting a blocked punt against Wisconsin.

Indiana senior linebacker Leon Beckum has played the last two games after missing six games because of a knee injury in the season opener. He led Indiana in tackles for losses last

season. Middle linebacker Jeff Thomas has 4.5 tackles for losses. Redshirt freshman Chase Hoobler is the brother of former Ohio State player Chad Hoobler.

Advantage: Ohio State

< DEFENSIVE BACKSOhio State gave up two passing touchdowns in 2 ½ minutes

in the fourth quarter against Wisconsin. Add that to a second-half collapse against Nebraska and a close call against Toledo and there might be some reason for concern. But Wisconsin’s Wilson was the first quarterback since Michigan State’s Kirk Cousins to pass for more than 200 yards against OSU.

Indiana has given up 15 touchdown passes, five more than any other team in the the Big Ten. The Hoosiers start two true freshmen in the defensive backfield.

Advantage: Ohio State

< SPECIAL TEAMSDrew Basil has hit his last nine field goal attempts, though

he had to sneak his only attempt against Wisconsin through the uprights. Ben Buchanan is averaging 41.3 yards per punt. Jordan Hall’s kickoff return was an important part of OSU’s final drive against Wisconsin.

Advantage: Ohio State

There are rebuilding jobs. There are major rebuilding jobs. And then there is Indiana football.

At places like Ohio State, Michigan and Notre Dame, buildings are named after football coaches who won year after year after year.

Who would qualify for such an honor at Indiana? Bo McMillan, maybe?

McMillan, who left Indiana in 1947, is the last Hoosiers football coach to depart with a winning record for his time in Bloomington.

Thirteen coaches have fol-lowed him, including current first-year coach Kevin Wil-son. None of the 12 between McMillan and Wilson could get above the .500 mark for their career, and Wilson is off to a bad start with a 1-8 record so far.

Winning at Indiana is like an Iron Man competition for coaches. Only no one ever gets to the finish line.

Some pretty good coaches have come and gone at IU, confident they would be the ones to reverse the course of Hoosiers football history.

John Pont, whose teams were 31-51-1 at Indiana from 1965-1972, had a 55-27-3 record at Miami of Ohio and Yale before he tried to turn the Hoosiers’ program around.

Lee Corso might be best remembered as a jokester now and when he was going 41-68-2 at Indiana from 1973-1982. But he had a 36-23-5 career record at Louisville and Northern Illinois.

Bill Mallory had four win-ning seasons in five years from 1990-1994 at IU, but his over-all record there was 69-77-3. At Miami of Ohio, Colorado and Northern Illinois, he was 96-48-4.

Gerry DiNardo was 8-27 at Indiana from 2002-04 after his LSU and Vanderbilt teams won 51 of 101.

The late Terry Hoeppner never saw a losing season at Miami of Ohio in six years, but then went 9-14 in two seasons at IU.

Ohio State fans were ready to write off the season when the Buckeyes split their first six games. Imagine the faith and fortitude it would take to be a longtime Indiana football fan.

play No. 2 LehmanCatholic in a Division IVvolleyball regional final at2 p.m. Saturday atTippecanoe High School.“Definitely, we are look-

ing forward to it after los-ing to them (in the regularseason),” Lehman seniormiddle Paxton Hatchersaid. “And, we are playingwell right now.”But first, Lehman had

to get past a young, tal-ented Fort Loramie teamThursday night in the re-gional semifinals.And the Lady Redskins

scrapped hard in all threegames before losing 25-20,25-18, 25-16.“This was a good match

for us,” Lehman coachGreg Snipes said. “Thiswas good preparation forSt. Henry. Both teams arefamiliar with each otherand get up for this match.Fort Loramie always playsus tough, so we knew this

would be a good match.”And while they came up

short, the Lady Redskinsshowed why they will beone of the most fearedteams around in the fu-ture, putting up an 18-9record with a roster thatwas made up mostly offreshman and sopho-mores.“You are going to see

these girls for another twoyears, some of themthree,” Fort Loramie coachJohn Rodgers said. “Therewere a whole lot of peoplewho saw us this summerand didn’t give us muchchance of being here (inthe regionals).“I am so proud of these

girls. From winning theleague, to winning section-als and district, these girlshave really come a longway.”And all three games

lead with two kills eachby Lindsey Spearman andAndrea Thobe.“Most of the year, we

have relied heavily on themiddles,” Snipes said.“Tonight, we went to theoutsides and they camethrough, which was goodto see. I thought we wouldbe tight early, but we cameout and opened up a lead.”A Lindsey Hilgefort kill

and Reggi Brandewieblock started a run forFort Loramie and they gotas close as 20-18, before

the Cavaliers finishedthings off.Consecutive kills by

Thobe on Ellie Wald-smith’s serve ended it.“Our problem was we

just couldn’t string pointstogether tonight,” Rodgerssaid. “We would get a cou-ple points and Lehmanwould say OK and run offthree or four points. Theyhave that experience andthat is what they do.”It was more of the same

in the second and thirdgames.

In the second game,Lehman led 18-9 after anEllie Cain ace. A kill byDarian Rose helped Lo-ramie close within 20-16,before the Lady Cavswould put the game away,with kills by Cain andHatcher.“That seemed to be the

rhythm for the first twogames,” Snipes said. “Ithought we did a betterjob closing things out inthe third game.”Hatcher began to take

control at the net as the

match went on, finishingwith five blocks.“After the first couple

points, we were able tocontrol the net,” Snipessaid. “Paxton (Hatcher)had a big match and thatis something that will beimportant Saturday withSt. Henry’s size.”A block and spike by

Hatcher gave Lehman an11-4 lead in the thirdgame and Fort Loramiecould get no closer than20-15 before the LadyCavaliers finished things

off.“I got off to a rough

start tonight,” Hatchersaid. “It happens. I playedbetter after that.”For Lehman, Thobe had

13 kills, 18 assists andeight digs, while MorganSchmitmeyer had six kills.Waldsmith had five

kills and seven digs andCain dished out 12 assists.Erica Paulus had 13

digs and Meghan Earhartadded seven.For Loramie, Rose had

10 kills, while Hilgefort

added six.Kelly Turner added five

kills and Brandewie wasgood for four.Danielle Wehrman led

the defense with 19 digsand Meghan Bruns addedseven. Julie Hoying dishedout 21 assists.Now, Lehman, 24-3, gets

a rematch with St. Henry“We are peaking at the

right time,” Thobe said.“Yes (we are looking for-ward to the match).”Nothing else needed to

be said.

coach Mark Pliemansaid. “So, it should be agreat race.”If there is an ace in the

hole for Berger, it is thatshe seems to thrive on bigmoments.“She does,” Pleiman

said. “She handles every-thing (being a two-timestate champion) very well.Tammy is very comfort-able in her own skin. Sheis such a selfless runner.Her focus is on the team.”And as always —

Berger’s thoughts are onthe team race. Which fig-ures to make the race upfront even more intense.“Both of their teams

(Coldwater, Liberty Cen-ter) are really good,”Berger said. “They aregoing to be right up there.

So, that makes it evenmore important (to finishfirst). If I go out and runmy best race, that is all Ican do. It really hasn’t hitme (being her final prepcross country race).”Plieman would like

nothing better than to seethe Lady Tigers finish onthe podium as a team.He said one of the keys

will be the Lady Tigers 2-3runners Natalie Grillotand Chloe Warvel.“They are going to be

big for us,” he said. “Theyhave been solid all year.They haven’t gotten downto the 19s yet and we needthat from both of them.And our 4-5 runners havebeen solid all year.”Normally,Versailles’ ex-

perience might be a big

advantage — but the meetis being held at NationalTrail Raceway in Hebronfor the first time.“We will go over the

course really good (in apractice run),” Pliemansaid. “We will check outevery turn and talk aboutit — then it will be up tothe kids.”One thing he isn’t con-

cerned about is Berger ad-justing to a new course.“She is an extremely in-

telligent kid,” he said.“There isn’t a lot of coach-ing involved there.”

� Houston’s AllisonRoeth will look to top lastyear’s 14th-place finish tocap her high school crosscountry career.Roeth finished third at

the regional last week in

19:11.22.“It is so sad,” she said

about Saturday being herfinal race. “But, I will berunning for Ohio Univer-sity next year. So, I willstill be running. I justwant to thank God forblessing me with this op-portunity.”

� Russia’s LaurenFrancis is coming off aneighth-place finish at theregional.The junior was clocked

in 19:34.0. She finished29th at state a year ago.“I am just very happy to

have this opportunity,” shesaid. “I think I missed Ac-ademic All-Ohio by twospots last year, so that is agoal. And it would alwaysbe nice to get on thepodium.”

of bad weather to runin.”And Prakel certainly

doesn’t expect to be run-ning alone — like he wasat the regional. And thatis fine with him.“There will definitely be

some guys right therewith me,” he said. “I don’tthink I will be runningalone. I don’t really likethat. I just have to find therunners I know are good.”Versailles coach Mark

Plieman agreed withPrakel’s assessment.“Those times from the

regionals are very deceiv-ing,” he said. “There aresome great runners outthere.“Even though Sam was

relatively healthy lastyear, he was coming off aninjury and he has had justabout everything, goingback to seventh grade.”Prakel is looking for-

ward to having his team-mates there — the firsttime he will have that ex-perience at the state meet.“I think it will make me

more comfortable,” hesaid. “It will feel mor likea normal meet. It is a newcourse. I have heard fromrumors there are somerolling hills so the practice

on the course will be im-portant.”Which doesn’t surprise

Plieman to hear him say.“Sam’s an extremely in-

telligent kid,” he said.“There is not a lot ofcoaching involved withhim.”For Plieman, it was an

emotional moment lastweekend when the Ver-sailles boys qualified forstate for the first timesince 2005.“I think Sam (Prakel)

will definitely be morecomfortable,” he said. “Itwas our goal from the be-ginning of the year tomake it to state. We haveset a goal of finishing inthe top half (top six) atstate.”

� Russia, led by StevenStickel’s 17th-place finishat regional, will also becompeting at state as ateam.A big key for the

Raiders will be to continuetheir pack running.“We put five guys in the

17s at regionals and thatis what we had to do,”Russia coach Doug Foster.“It is going to be a verytough and competitiverace. We will see how wedo.”
