PIQUA — Piqua Junior HighSchool math teacher JulieHenkaline has achieved successas an educator. But, she took asomewhat unconventional pathto enter the field of education.Henkaline grew up in Piqua
and graduated from Piqua Cen-tral High School in 1975. “Bornand raised a Piqua Indian,” she isquick to say. Henkaline was a co-
editor of the yearbook, a memberof National Honor Society, a foot-ball and basketball cheerleader,and Prom Queen.“I wanted to be a teacher,” she
said. “My parents Bob and LucyFess instilled in me a strong workethic and modeled service to oth-ers, good qualities for a futureteacher.” Henkaline enrolled atWittenberg University. “I spent ayear there, then, transferred toOtterbein University,” she said.“Marriage and family were next,
“ I knew I was inthe right placedoing what I wasmeant to do.”

Opposition on agendaPiqua leaders against Kasich tax collectionBY BETHANY J. ROYERStaff [email protected]
PIQUA — An emergency oppo-sition will cap Tuesday’s commis-sion meeting that will otherwisebegin on a positive for temporary,seasonal and part-time minimumwage city employees who will re-ceive a 40 cent raise. This in-crease follows the state-wideminimum wage increase from$7.40 an hour to $7.70 that willbegin at the first of the year.Also on the agenda will be a
minor update to non-union em-ployees health insurance for the2012 year that will retain the2011 employee premium contri-butions, the HRA (health reim-bursement account) and HSA(health savings account)amounts.New year appropriations will
also be discussed, as will the
issue and sale of bonds for theconstruction costs to sidewalks,curbs and gutters on Broadwayin 2010. Along with a resolutionto apply for Brownfield fundsfrom the United States Environ-mental Protection Agency.Meanwhile, new city manager
Gary Huff will seek appointmentto the governing board of thePiqua Improvement Corporationand the Community DiversityCommittee, with Daniel J. Hen-thorn to be appointed to theBoard of Zoning Appeals.The emergency opposition
comes from Ohio Governor JohnKasich and his administrationhaving proposed a take-over ofmunicipal income tax collection.The amendment would give col-lective powers to either a stateagency or a third-party.Already faced with the chal-
lenge of state funding cuts for2011 and more into the new year
officials are concerned that thispotential new legislation will fur-ther reduce city revenue. A re-duction that could affect theability to pay for police, fire, EMS,public works, roadway mainte-nance and recreation programs.This emergency resolution not
only declares city leader’s strongopposition to the take-over, buturges Kasich and state legisla-tors to reject the amendment sothat officials may preserve thepublic peace, health, safety andwelfare of the city and citizens.Commission meetings are held
every first and third Tuesday ofthe month at 7:30 p.m. at thecommission chamber on the sec-ond floor of the Government Mu-nicipal Complex.The public is invited and en-
couraged to attend.Meeting agendas are available
both online at www.piquaoh.organd at the complex.

The heart, veins and bloodvessels are the main parts ofthe cardiovascular system.Yourheart is a strong muscularpump that works day and nightto send blood around yourentire body.
The circulatory system is agroup of organs that carriesnutrients, oxygen and otherimportant materials to all thecells in your body.Your blood circulates throughout
your body, like a river, throughblood vessels attached to yourheart. Those that carry blood awayfrom your heart are called arteries,and the ones that carry bloodback to your heart are call veins.
Your heart is divided into twohalves, call chambers. The topchamber, called the atrium, col-lects blood from the veins. Thebottom chamber, called the ventri-cle, pumps blood into the arteries,helping to refuel your body.
When you take a deep breath,the air travels directly to yourlungs. Blood is pumped from yourheart to your lungs, and the oxy-gen (from the breath you just took)mixes with it.
The blood then travels to yourheart, where it is pumped backthrough your body, delivering oxy-gen and nutrients to your cellswhile fighting germs and removingcarbon dioxide and waste.
Each time your heart beats, itheart fills with blood. It tightensand releases, pushing the bloodout.When your heart makes thismovement, it’s called a contrac-tion. Make a fist with your handand squeeze it, release andsqueeze again. This is a similarmotion to the one your heartmakes.
Just like any other machine, theheart can become broken or needto be fixed. That’s why it’s impor-tant to know how your heartworks; so you can do your partto keep it healthy and strong.
Do you ever feel your heartracing or feel out of breath?This is your body signalingthat it needs more oxygen.The heart pumps faster tosupply your body with whatit needs. Kids ages 6-15 havea normal resting heart rate of70-100 beats per minute.
DDIIDD YYOOUU KKNNOOWW??It takes less than 60 seconds for
your heart to pump blood to everycell in the body.
Doctors say that kids should bephysically active for at least 60minutes a day
In order to get the full benefits ofexercise, move until you break asweat.

so I put my college de-gree on hold.”In 1980, she joined the
work force and took a po-sition as secretary toPiqua High School ath-letic director Ed Purk.“Mr. Purk had been myhealth teacher in highschool, so he knew thekind of person I waswhen he hired me,” shesaid. “It was a wonderful12 ½ years. Ed did every-thing with a total com-mitment and integrity. Ilearned so much fromhim.”When Purk retired,
Henkaline pondered a re-turn to college to com-plete her degree. “Mr.Purk always encouragedme to go back to school,”she said. “Our youngestdaughter entered highschool, and it was theperfect time for me to re-turn to college.” Sheearned her bachelor’s ofeducation degree fromWittenberg in 1995.Later, she received amaster’s degree in educa-tion from Wright StateUniversity.Henkaline did her stu-
dent teaching in lan-guage arts and mathwith the late GinnyJames and Elly Snapp atWilder Junior High.After graduation, Henka-line was hired by PiquaCity Schools and spenttwo years teaching 7thgrade health and scienceat Wilder. “It wasn’t thenormal path to take tobecome a teacher,” shesaid. “On my first day ofschool as a rookieteacher, I was 38 yearsold.”“With all my life expe-
riences up to that timeincluding raising a fam-ily and working in aschool setting, I feltready and good about mynew career,” she said. “Iknew I was in the rightplace doing what I was
meant to do.”In 1999, the junior
high opened in the newbuilding, and by thattime, Henkaline hadswitched to math. Today,Henkaline teaches Math7 and Pre-Algebra. “I wasfortunate to have EllySnapp as a mentor whenI started,” Henkalinesaid. “She taught me howto teach math to juniorhigh students. I am themath teacher I am todaybecause of Elly.” And,that is a very successfulmath teacher. Henkalinewas named Piqua CitySchools Teacher of theYear for the 2005-2006school year. “I love work-ing with this age group,”Henkaline said. “Theyare very impressionable,and I can make a hugedifference in their lives,academically and person-ally.”“I have been blessed to
have had excellent edu-cators and mentors in mylife,” she said. “Hopefully,I am paying those bless-ings forward.” Henkalinegives credit to her col-leagues at the juniorhigh. “I work with anamazing staff, and I donot view them merely asco-workers. They havebecome my friends.”Henkaline and her
husband Ken, a hair styl-ist who owns the HairStudio on High, havebeen married 30 years.They have two sons andtwo daughters. HeatherGable is married and liv-ing in Asheville, N.C.,Lindsay Dobucki is mar-ried and expecting herfirst child in Baltimore,Md. Son Heath is mar-ried and living in GroveCity. And, son MarkMatthews is married andliving in Greenville, S.C.There are five grandchil-dren with another on theway. “Our favorite vaca-tion spot used to beGatlinburg,” Julie said.“Now, it is wherever ourkids and grandkids live.My new favorite pastimeis being Grammy to ourlittle ones.”

WASHNGTON (AP) —Mitt Romney chugged aheadThursday as the conservative-fueled drive to deny himthe Republican presidential nomination reached a diffi-cult new phase: Once-surging rivals Rick Perry and Her-man Cain scrambled to control serious damage, while anold face sought new ways to exploit their problems.Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich could emerge
as the newest hope for conservative activists who doubtRomney’s commitment to their priorities. But Gingrichtrails Romney and others in organizing in key statessuch as Iowa.And he will have to prove that his long andsometimes troubled political history can withstandcloser scrutiny.Meanwhile,Texas Gov. Perry rearranged his schedule
Thursday to try to mitigate a disastrous debate moment,in which he could not remember the third federal agencyhe has vowed to abolish. Perry canceled a Tennesseefundraiser to appear on several TV networks and theDavid Letterman show, pledging to stay in the race.He repeatedly said he “stepped in it” at the Wednes-
day night debate but declared in an interview, “This ain’ta day for quitting nothing.”For Cain, the former pizza company executive, it was
day 11 of trying to get beyond sexual harassment accu-sations leveled against him by four women, two of whomreceived cash settlements from a trade association Cainonce headed.Facing voters for the first time since the allegations
emerged, Cain met with tea party groups in Michigan,hoping the friendly settings would preserve the loftyperch he enjoyed in GOP polls two weeks ago.“How you beat Obama? Beat him with a Cain!” he told
one supporter at a crowded diner inYpsilanti.The crowdcheered.He is airing his first TV ad in Iowa, and he has hired
a new lawyer who is warning women they will be scru-tinized for any charges made against the candidate.Late Thursday word came that attempts to organize a
joint news conference with the four women alleging Cainharassed them had fallen apart. Joel Bennett, the attor-ney for Karen Kraushaar, said his client had decided notto hold the news conference “unless and until the otherwomen come forward and wish to participate.”Romney, the former Massachusetts governor who re-
cently filmed a TV ad in Iowa, blasted President BarackObama’s Iran policy in a Wall Street Journal opinionpiece Thursday. His supporters quietly reveled in thegood fortune of Perry’s and Cain’s woes.With the Iowa caucus set for Jan. 3, and the New
Hampshire primary a week after that, Romney is look-ing strong, but he’s hardly home free. Many conserva-tives still resent his past support of legalized abortionand gay rights, and his requirement that all Massachu-setts residents obtain health insurance.But they have failed to coalesce around a single al-
ternative. Rep. Michele Bachmann briefly topped thepolls, followed by Perry and then Cain. It’s unclearwhether Cain can hold his position.Some Iowa Republicans hope former Pennsylvania
Sen. Rick Santorum, who emphasizes social conserva-tive issues such as abortion and gay rights, can make amove.He has visited all 99 Iowa counties and aired radiocommercials.

DES MOINES, IOWA— This could havebeen Tim Pawlenty’s
moment.With many Repub-licans writing off Rick Perry,worried Herman Cain can’tlast, and perpetually dissat-isfied with Mitt Romney,the former Minnesota gov-ernor might have gotten an-other look, had he stayed inthe race. Given all thechanges that have takenplace in the GOP presidential contest,who knows? Pawlenty might have beena serious contender by now.Instead, Pawlenty is at home, having
quit immediately after finishing third inthe Aug. 13 Ames, Iowa, Republicanstraw poll. He has endorsed Romney —in what seemed a not-terribly-enthusiastic gesture — and he has pub-licly mused that maybe he got out tooearly. Indeed, there must be momentswhen Pawlenty kicks himself for bailingout of a race that proved much morevolatile than anyone thought.Pawlenty has said as much. In an in-
terview with Minnesota Public Radio afew weeks ago, he was asked whether heregretted quitting when he did.“If we would have known then what
we know now, would we have made somedifferent decisions?” he replied. “Sure wewould have, and I regret not making dif-ferent decisions.”It seems like a million years ago, but
Pawlenty surrendered when it appearedthat Rep. Michele Bachmann, havingjust won the straw poll, would be a majorforce in Iowa.That, along with the much-anticipated entry of Texas Gov. RickPerry into the race, appeared to make itimpossible for the cash-strapped Paw-lenty to establish himself as the mainopponent to front-runner Mitt Romney.So Pawlenty bailed.“It made a lot of sense at the time,”
says a Pawlenty campaign insider. “Youlooked at Romney, who was strong, andyou looked at Bachmann, who was likelyto win Iowa, and you looked at Perry,who was going to fill the anti-Romneyspace, and there wasn’t enough room forPawlenty.” But then it all changed. “Idon’t think anybody at the time couldhave predicted how quickly both Bach-mann and Perry would collapse,” the in-sider says.There’s no doubt Pawlenty didn’t ex-
cite voters in the early states. Put itmore bluntly: He was dull. But givenwhat we’ve learned about his competi-tors since then, would that be so bad intoday’s race? It seems safe to say that if
Pawlenty had stayed in therunning long enough, andas troubles developed inrival campaigns, votersmight have looked at oneanother and said, “Now,why was it we didn’t likeTim Pawlenty?” Dullnessprobably doesn’t top theirlist of concerns right now.As for gaffes, Pawlenty’s
big mistake — again, thisseems like something from
a bygone era — was that he failed toback up his charge that Romney’s healthplan in Massachusetts was the equiva-lent of “Obamneycare.” Pawlenty coinedthe word during an appearance on “FoxNews Sunday” on June 12 and thenbacked off at a GOP debate the next daywhen he had the chance to criticize Rom-ney face-to-face. That was thought to bea critical error at the time. But giveneverything that has happened since, itdoesn’t seem like a capital offense today.But suppose Pawlenty had stayed in.
Would it have mattered? A recent DesMoines Register poll found that just 5percent of respondents said they wouldsupport Pawlenty if he were still run-ning. Of course, he’s been out of the pic-ture since August. Had he beencampaigning steadily since then, whileother candidates faltered, the picturemight be different.Random chats with Iowa voters sug-
gest Pawlenty would have earned a sec-ond chance. “Absolutely,” said onewoman at a Rick Santorum event inFairfield, Iowa, when asked whether shewould consider Pawlenty if he were stillrunning. “I met him, and he had the bestconservative record. He’s a little dry, butI thought that he was a great candidate.”“Definitely,” said another woman. “I
liked what he had to say. I was shockedwhen he dropped out. I thought it wastoo soon.”It’s that kind of opinion that drives
some Pawlenty associates nuts. “If NewtGingrich is getting a second look, Paw-lenty certainly would have, too,” says asecond insider. “He would be in con-tention today.”But he’s not. After his I-regret-it re-
marks on public radio, Pawlenty hasstopped talking about what might havebeen and has turned into an effective ad-vocate for Romney. But just because he’snot talking about it doesn’t mean he’snot thinking about it. Given all that’shappened, how could he not?

CommentaryPawlenty: The man whocoulda been a contender
BYRON YORKColumnist
Good defense is gener-ally regarded as muchmore difficult than gooddeclarer play. Further-more, if a mistake does
occur during the course ofplay, it is usually easier todiscern where declarerwent wrong than wherethe defense went wrong.For a typical example,
consider today’s deal fromthe 1987 National Men’sPair Championship. Atmost tables, South made10 tricks in a heart con-tract, whether the gamewas bid or not. The playmost often started with J-Q-A of spades, after whichthe ten-of-spades returnwas taken by declarer’sking. Next came a suc-cessful club finesse, then atrump to the jack andqueen.West returned a dia-
mond to dummy’s ace,which was followed by atrump to the ten and ace.South ruffed the low dia-mond continuation,cashed the trump king, re-peated the club finesseand then cashed the A-2of clubs, discarding hislast spade to finish with10 tricks.But at the table where
George Rosenkranz, dis-tinguished Mexican star,held the East cards, fourhearts was reached asshown, and the contractwas defeated. The spadejack was also led here andcovered with the queen.But Rosenkranz, afterconsidering the mattercarefully, allowed thequeen to win the trick!As a result of this un-
usual play, South could no
longer make the contractregardless of how he con-tinued. In practice, de-clarer led a heart to thejack at trick two. Westtook his queen, led aspade to East’s ace andscored the setting trickwith the five of trumpswhen Rosenkranz re-turned a third spade.In finding the winning
defense, the only realproblem Rosenkranz hadcame at trick one, whenhe had to judge whetherthe spade jack was morelikely to be a singleton ora doubleton. He followedthe percentages that fa-vored a doubleton, andwas well-rewarded for histhoughtful play.

DEAR ABBY: Sept. 11was the 10th birthday ofour neighbors’ little girl,“Megan.” At church thatday there was a lovelymemorial prayer for thevictims of 9/11, but nomention of Megan’s birth-day among the other spe-cial occasions of theweek.Megan’s family went to
the cemetery, put flowerson the memorial thereand then went home.There was no party orcake for Megan. When Itook over a card and asmall gift, her momthanked me but said theday was too sad forMegan to celebrate herbirthday. She said theyhad never done so, noteven on an alternatedate.I don’t know this fam-
ily very well. They’re newto the neighborhood. ButI was flabbergasted thatthey would act this way.When I asked about thebirthdays of the otherfamily members, I wastold that since none ofthem fall on a “bad day”they are celebrated withparties, gifts and every-thing. Megan was al-lowed to accept my giftand thanked me, but hermom made it clear thiswas to be an exception tothe rule. Abby, whatgives?
— COMPLETELYBAFFLED IN
WYOMING
DEAR COM-PLETELY BAFFLED: Ihave no idea. That fam-ily’s behavior is bizarre.What could possibly begained by punishing achild for being born on aparticular day? What youhave described isn’t re-spect for a day that wastragic for our country; itis cruelty to an innocentchild.
DEAR ABBY: My wifeand I disagree aboutwhat we should do on ourdate nights away fromour daughters. She’s nineyears younger than I am.I don’t feel comfortable
going to dance clubs. Idon’t like crowds, fightingto get the bartender’s at-tention for a drink ordancing with 25-year-olds.I’d prefer listening to
live music, staying homeand enjoying an emptyhouse or going some-where quiet for dinner.My wife thinks what Ilike is “boring” and this iscreating issues in ourmarriage.I want her to be happy
and for both of us to enjoyeach other’s company.We’re having a difficult
time finding a compro-mise. I feel like I’ll neverlive up to her standardsof what’s fun and enter-taining. Any suggestions?
— DATE NIGHTDILEMMA IN
CHICAGO
DEAR DILEMMA:Yes, two of them. The firstis to take turns choosingwhat you’ll do on yourdate nights, so that youboth have some of whatyou want. The second isto find some new activi-ties you can enjoy as acouple. Shared interestswill help you grow to-gether.
DEAR ABBY: Awoman at work is havinga baby. I didn’t getaround to contributing toher group gift. I also did-n’t sign the card or men-tion my omission at thetime of the baby shower.A few days later I re-
ceived a thank-you note.The mother-to-be obvi-ously assumed I con-tributed. Money isextremely tight rightnow. Saving the $20 I wasgoing to spend will helpmy budget. I don’t thinkanyone picked up on myfaux pas. Should I keepquiet?
— CONFLICTED INMINNESOTA
DEAR CON-FLICTED: You didn’tcommit a faux pas; youchose to abstain. I see noreason to announce thatyou didn’t participate inthe baby gift. Not con-tributing because itwould have caused finan-cial strain wasn’t abreach of etiquette; it wasprudent. If your namewasn’t on the gift card,you misled no one.

There are four of uswho get together on Sun-day nights through thesummer to play euchre, agame that I very muchenjoy. Call me old-fash-ioned, but I have a bunchof fond memories that re-volve around euchre. Ourcross-country teamsplayed it a lot during thesummers, and onovernight trips. On one ofour annual summercross-country weekendsin Hueston Woods, wespent a stormy nightcrashing on the couchesin the lodge, and I waspart of a series of euchregames that went on untilsix o’clock in the morn-ing.It is on this note that
we mention the final Cov-ington Outreach Associa-tion (COA) activity untilthe spring. Covingtonand Covington area sen-iors are invited to theusual euchre match onThursday at the Coving-ton Village Center from1:30-3 p.m. Call 473-3337or 473-2415 to reserve aspot.They say it is their last
euchre outing for theyear, but I am hoping for
one more. If the winningteam (or any team forthat matter) would careto call me sometime onThursday after thematch, I would like toschedule the first annual“Calling Around Coving-ton Euchre Champi-onship.” I’ll get ateammate of my choiceand we will take on thewinners from this Thurs-day’s COA outing. We’reat the end of our profilesof leaders of CovingtonSchools, and I’m in needof a new column idea. Ifthis euchre game hap-pens (and I want it tohappen), the results (andall the debauchery) wouldbe the subject of the nextcolumn. Let’s do this!News from the library:
The Hennen’s AmericanPublic Library Ratings2010 has rated the J.R.Clarke Public Library14th in the state for li-braries in zip code popu-lations of 5,000 to 10,000people. The J.R. Clarke
rated in the top 3 percentacross the nation. Fifteencriteria make up the fac-tors determining theranking of libraries. Someof those included are cir-culation, attendance, vol-umes per capita, andpercent of budget spenton materials. They alsostill have a few openingson Wednesday, Dec. 7, forJoanie’s Christmas FloralArranging Class. Theclasses will be held from6-8 p.m. Dec. 6 and 7. Thecost of the class is $25with a mandatory depositof $10 to hold a spot inthe class.This depositmust be made at the timeof registering. They haveseveral patrons workingon COA’s Christmas proj-ects. If you have extrayarn you would like to do-nate to these ladies, youmay bring it to the li-brary. They have madesome beautiful items thatshould add extra joy forthose receiving these giftsduring the holiday sea-son.To finish up our pro-
files of the new leaders ofthe Covington Schools, Iran into the board officelast week to talk withDavid Larson, our newsuperintendent. Larsonis an avid runner, and Iam an avid couch-sitter,but we spent most of 45minutes talking aboutcross-country, track, and
education. (I told Davethe meeting would onlylast 10 minutes. I surefooled him!) Larson is a1998 graduate of Coving-ton, and began teaching7th- and 8th-grade socialstudies in Tipp City in2002. He stepped up tothe role of principal inRussia in 2008, workingthere for two years beforecoming back to Covingtonas the junior high princi-pal. Two years on, Larsonis in his first year as su-perintendent. It is notonly in a road race thatLarson moves quickly.“I’ve been fortunate
and blessed with greatopportunities, none ofwhich were really ex-pected,” he told me whenI asked about his fast riseup the educational lad-der. “I loved being ateacher and a coach.”After Larson helped re-launch the now powerfulcross-country program inTipp City, he got a callfrom a former boss inRussia and got his foot inthe administrative doorthere, before moving backto Covington.“Coming back to Cov-
ington was a really spe-cial opportunity, gettingto return to my home-town,” he added. “I origi-nally didn’t have theseplans. I was happy beinga teacher, but I have lovedevery position I’ve had.”
When I asked Larsonabout the most enjoyableaspect of the job, his an-swer was consistent withevery building principalin the district. “The mostfun part of the job is in-teracting with the kids,”Larson explained. “Imade that a priority, andI am fortunate that myoffice is in the samebuilding I was in as aprincipal. I know a lot ofthe kids, and I try tospend lunch time in all ofthe buildings. I play kick-ball at lunch on Mondayswith the sixth grade.” Be-sides getting to do one ofthe most (trust me) funjobs on earth every Mon-day afternoon, Larsonmentioned several timesone primary goal – im-pacting the lives of kids.When I asked Larsonwho had impacted his lifeas a student, he noted thehigh quality of all histeachers, and named Mr.Dunn, Mr. Stroh, andMrs. Brackman in partic-ular.While it can’t be easy
to be a superintendentanywhere right now, Lar-son noted some elementsof transition when askedabout the challenges ofthe job, or as he put it,changing from “educationfrom an instructionalstandpoint to a businessstandpoint.”“Decisions are busi-
ness related, as opposedto being a building prin-cipal, when everything isinstructionally based,” hesaid. “I am looking at thejob through a differentlens, but all decisions arestill made with studentinterest in mind.”Being an educator my-
self, I know the subject ofeducation can be a veryweighty issue. And whenI asked Dave about hisvision for CovingtonSchools, he quickly had asuccinct, thoughtful re-sponse. “Ultimately, Iwant this to be one of thebest institutions in theMiami Valley,” he stated.“I want people to move toCovington because theywant their kids to go toCovington Schools.”Email callingaround-

Monday, Nov. 14, 2011There are numerous ways for you toachieve success in the year ahead,but perhaps your best possibilitieswill come through undertakingswhere you are free to call all theshots yourself. Partnerships couldlimit your possibilities.SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Theinterests of your listeners should beconsidered before bringing up a sub-ject that could easily bore them todeath. If you want to be popular, keepconversations focused on them.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) —If you’re smart, you’ll take care of allof your obligations first thing in themorning.CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) —Don’t let one small negative thoughtblock all of your positive alternativestoday. Generally speaking, there aretwo sides to every issue. Choose well.AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Un-less you are completely honest aboutyour limitations, there is a stronglikelihood you will take on far morethan you can handle today and endup with a total meltdown.PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Don’tallow someone whose views opposeyours to coerce you into a debatetoday. This person wants to do so inhopes that you’ll make a fool of your-self. Don’t bite.ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Earlysuccesses might spur you on, buttake care not to overdo. You couldrun out of steam right in the middleof a huge undertaking.TAURUS (April 20-May 20) —Rarely do you hesitate to expressyour opinions, but if what you’rethinking becomes emotional, you hadbetter keep your thoughts to your-self.GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Unlessyou handle commercial involvementsin a sound manner today, you couldquickly lose control of good businesspractices and get in way over yourhead.CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Becareful not to put yourself in a posi-tion of being at the mercy of individ-uals who have caused you discomfortin the past. You could be asking for arepeat performance.LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Owing tocertain responsibilities you failed totake care of when you should have,you may be faced with severe limita-tions today on handling a critical sit-uation that now needs tending.VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — If thereis someone in a social get-togetherwith whom you have a bone to pick,keep your discomfort to yourself. Anycomments you make would put adamper on the entire group.LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — The onlyway you will achieve all of your ob-jectives today is to roll up yoursleeves and keep your nose to thegrindstone.COPYRIGHT 2011 UNITED FEA-TURE SYNDICATE, INC.

Edison men’s basketballcoach Jon Ralph knowsthere were a lot of thingsthe previously unbeatenChargers could have donebetter Saturday.So, it wasn’t hard for
him to find a bright spotin a 73-67 loss to GlenOaks Saturday.“We just didn’t have the
right aggression,” Ralphsaid. “We were playingfrom behind the wholegame. We missed 21 freethrows. You are not goingto win many games doingthat.“Then our free throw
shooting seemed to carry-over into our field goalshooting — and in spite ofall that, we still had achance to win the game.”Ralph knew it was
going to be a step up incompetition from theChargers first threegames.“They are much more
like the teams we aregoing to see in conferenceplay — big and athletic,”he said. “So, of course it isgood to play a team likethat.”The Chargers got into
an early 9-2 hole, leadingto a Ralph timeout and itwas a sign of things tocome.But, Edison made a run
late in the first half andLamont Cole had a driveto the basket with 15 sec-onds to go in the half tocut the deficit to 29-28 at
the break.Rondale Beard scored
the first two points of thesecond half, but that wasthe last lead the Chargerswould have.Jessie Davis had a put-
back to get Edison within45-44 and a powerful slamdunk to get the Chargerswithin 57-55 with 5:00 re-maining.That was still the score
with 3:24 remaining, butwith Glen Oaks leading59-55, a pivotal play oc-curred.Edison stole the ball,
but missed a layup — andthe Vikings Karvel Ander-son buried a three at theother end to make 62-55.The Chargers could
never get closer than fourthe rest of the way.“That was huge,” Ralph
said. “That was a bigswing.”Davis led Edison with
15 points and six re-bounds, while Kyle Dun-can added 13 points andseven rebounds.Donnie Lee and Josh
Jones scored 10 points,while Nick Tingle grabbedsix rebounds.Anderson and Tyler
Bell scored 17 points eachfor the Vikings, whileAlandis Milligan had 14points and nine reboundsand Paul Jones alsograbbed nine rebounds.Edison was 28 of 65
from the floor 43 percentand nine of 30 from theline for 30 percent.Glen Oaks was 25 of 57
from the floor for 44 per-cent and 19 of 33 from theline for 58 percent.The Vikings won the
battle of the boards 47-37.“Glen Oak is a good
team,” Ralph said. “But, soare we.”Which is why he could
feel upbeat heading intoFriday’s 7 p.m. game withAim High Prep.

Edison men sufferfirst loss of seasonPlay from behind against Glen Oaks
BY ROB KISERSports [email protected]
The obvious in EdisonCommunity Collegewomen’s basketball team’s69-30 win over Glen Oaks(Mich.) Community Col-lege Saturday was thedominance of sophomorepost Brianna Innocent inthe paint.Innocent looked like a
woman among girls,outscoring Glen Oaks byherself during the timeshe was in the game.But, what may have not
been so obvious at firstglance, but what had LadyChargers coach Kim Rankequally excited, was thejob Edison did defensivelyon the Lady Vikings, hold-ing them to 11 of 42 shoot-ing from the floor.“I thought our defense
was the big thing today,”Rank said. “That is what Itold the girls after thegame. “I think this is the best
game we have played.Everybody did a good jobon defense.”The Lady Chargers
pressure gave Glen Oaksfits all game.“It did,” Rank said. “One
thing is we are starting tolearn our personnel. Ourdefense is based on ourpersonnel a lot of the time.Brooke Gariety reallygives teams problemswhen she is on the ball.”And the 6-1 Innocent is
a big part of that as well.“She just does such a
great job on interior de-fense,” Rank said. “Thatallows the other girls tostep out and pressurethem.”And she asserted her-
self on offense at the mostimportant time.After Glen Oaks had
tied the game at 15, Inno-cent quickly scored 10straight points and fourmore by Jo Steva gaveEdison a 29-15 halftimelead.The Vikings offensive
frustrations continuedinto the second half asEdison turned it into a 35-2 run from the point whenthe game was tied, open-ing a 50-17 lead.Innocent, who had a
double-double in the firsthalf alone, finished with27 points and 15 re-bounds.“There is no doubt she
(Brianna Innocent) is anoutstanding player,” Ranksaid. “They didn’t (haveanyone who could stopher. We started runningsome different isolation
plays to her.”And the times Glen
Oaks did collapse on herinside, Kendra Brunswickand Cori Blackburn foiledthe plan by hitting 3-pointshots.Brunswick would finish
with 12 points, Stevascored 10 and Blackburnnetted nine.A big part of that was
point guard Kristen Wine-miller who ran the offensewhen she wasn’t makinghustle plays on defense.“Anytime we have four
kids near or in double fig-ures, we think that isgoing to work pretty well,”Rank said. “We movedKristen (Winemiller) tothe point to get Cori(Blackburn) out on thewing with Kendra(Brunswick). “Cori is a good 3-point
shooter and we think thatis going to work well for usand Kristen is really doing
a great job at the point.”Edison made 29 of 47
shots from the floor for 62percent and six of 14 fromthe line for 43 percent.Glen Oaks made just
four of 11 free throws for36 percent, to go with its26 percent shooting fromthe floor.Edison won the battle of
the boards 32-28.The Lady Chargers, 2-1,
will play at OSU-LimaThursday.

The Miami East Vikings volleyball team celebrates withthe state championship trophy after defeating GilmourAcademy in the championship match Saturday at theNutter Center. The Lady Vikings finished 27-1, winningthe school’s first state title in the sport.
Her teammate TrinaCurrent stepped in andplayed well in her place,picking up four kills andmaking big plays duringkey moments of the match- none of which were moreimportant than the blockby her and teammateLeah Dunivan onGilmour's Jessica Janota,which gave the Vikings a22-20 lead in Game 3 andhelped spark them to a 25-23 victory in that set.Vanchure played two
years of varsity volleyball,and this season she was abig part of helping theVikings to an undefeatedleague run and a CrossCounty Conference title -their second in a row.And now, Vanchure
ends her career as a statechampion.If you ask her team-
mates Dunivan and AbbyCash, though, they are sadto see her go."These girls are my
friends on and off thecourt," Abby Cash said."In basketball, there are a
few of us together, but it'snot the same.""I miss everyone on the
team when we are out ofseason," Dunivan said."We're a family.""I'm going to miss
Kelsey," Abby Cash said."I can't believe she's
leaving," Dunivan added.
• 'Big 3' BattleGilmour Academy's Jes-
sica Janota (6-foot-3),Maria Cup (6-0) and Mad-die Kosar (5-8) provided atough test for Miami Easton Saturday.Janota entered the
game with 276 kills, whileCup and the left-handedKosar were also threats,with 229 kills and 201kills, respectively.And during Game 1 it
became apparent whyEast needed to focus onthose three, as Janotawent on a surge, scoringkills on three out of fourpoints to help knot thegame at 15-15. But theVikings went on to takethat game by a score of 26-
24.On the other side of
things,Miami East had itsown version of the 'Big 3'rolling, as Sam Cash (18kills and 12 digs), Duni-van (14 kills) and AbbyCash (11 kills, 20 digs, fiveaces) all had monstergames for the Vikings.In the clinching game,
Dunivan's kill tied thegame at 18-18. Fromthere, the Sam Cash-AbbyCash combination tookover for the Vikings, asAbby assisted sister Samon four kills during thefinal stretch, including thegame-winner that gaveEast a 25-21 victory.Janota ended with 19
kills, while Kosar had 17
and Cup added 10."I would say they were
comparable to St. Henry'sfront line," Miami Eastcoach John Cash said."Kosar was phenomenal,as we knew she would be.We knew Gilmour hadbeen here before and re-ally wanted it. But in theend, our athletic abilityand determination wonout."
• Marv LevyGilmour Academy coach
Kelly Coughlin was disap-pointed after Saturday'sloss to Miami East, for itwas the third time in thelast four years his teamhas lost in the state titlegame.
But through it all,Coughlin retained a senseof humor about it."I have a new apprecia-
tion for coach Marv Levy -from the Buffalo Bills,"Coughlin said with asmile.The National Football
League's Buffalo Billsreached the Super Bowlfour straight years from1990-93 - and lost all fourof them."My seniors were sec-
ond, fifth, second and sec-ond," Coughlin said. "Theywere runners-up theirfreshman, junior and sen-ior years.“We did everything we
could with our young kids,and the seniors got them
ready and took them on aride."Much like East,
Gilmour was filled withyouth on its roster.The Lancers lose seven
seniors - three of whichstarted Saturday — butwill once again be loadednext year, with 11 return-ing players, includingsophomore Janota, fresh-man setter Megan Polakand freshman hitter JosieSheehan —all of whichcontributed Saturday.
• Lucky CharmsAnd as for John Cash's
trademark Hawaiianflower print shirt?"This one's going in the
trophy case," he said.

Wright State Univer-sity's Nutter Center.And the Vikings' (29-1)
entire season wassummed up in those finalfew points - they smelledblood, they attacked andthey finished."WhenAllie (Millhouse)
served it and their girlshanked the pass, weknew they were done,"junior captain Leah Duni-van said. "Their shoulderswere slumping, they werehanging their heads andstarting to cry a little. Weknew they were giving up.They knew it was over."The Lancers (26-3) ac-
tually held a 20-19 lead inthe game after sophomoreJess Janota pushed a killto the back corner, butMiami East sophomoreSam Cash answered witha thunderous kill, givingthe serve to junior defen-sive specialist Millhouse.Gilmour Academy couldn'tput together a decent at-tack off of her serve, andCash blasted home an-other.After Gilmour sent one
long to make it 22-20East, Dunivan stuffedJanota and electrified thearena - and everyone pres-ent knew what was com-ing."When we're in the 20s
and Leah gets a block, weget all of the momentum,"fellow junior captain AbbyCash said. "In my mind, Iknow we've got them beatthen.""I can't possibly over-
state the job Allie did onthat last service run,"Miami East coach JohnCash said. "She was phe-nomenal. And you've seenit before out of these girls— when they see the otherteam hang their heads, it'sall over."Another Sam Cash kill
put the Vikings one pointaway from bringing homethe trophy, but theLancers were finally ableto handle another brutallytough serve by Millhouse,and Janota cashed in theopportunity to keep herteam alive.Albeit ever so briefly.Miami East set up its
attack on the final point,and after a couple of ral-lies back and forth SamCash drove home the finalpoint of the match - andcrowned the Vikingschampions."It was amazing," Sam
Cash said of scoring thefinal point. "Abby set meup with one blocker, andI'd been scoring cross-court with one blocker allday.“So I just went for it
again, and it went down."Sam Cash led the
Vikings with 18 kills —four of which came inMiami East's final sixpoints — and added 21 as-sists, 12 digs and a block.But as with the rest of
the season, everyone con-tributed for the Vikings -and every one of thosecontributions was criticalon so big a stage.Dunivan had 14 kills —
many of them coming onquick sets in the middle,just as in the state semifi-nal win over Adena— andadded five blocks andthree digs. Abby Cash had11 kills, 28 assists, 20 digs,two blocks and five serviceaces — four of which cameduring the Vikings' Game3 win."We did (have an an-
swer for Dunivan's quick-hitters in the middle) — itjust came too late,"Gilmour Academy coachKelly Coughlin said. "Wehaven't seen anyone runanything like that as fastas they do.“They're very unconven-
tional. They almost playlike a boys team, chokingup on everything and withthe way they use theirhands.“They're all six-footers,
and they're big and physi-cally strong players."We just lost to the bet-
ter team today.""Our setters pointed out
that they were drawingthe middle blocker, andwhen they do that, we getone-on-ones on the out-side," John Cash said. "Sowe went to the outside,but we weren't really con-necting. So we finally justsaid 'let's see if they canstop Leah.' And I don'tthink they did."Kelsey Vanchure, the
team's lone senior, hadfive kills despite onlyplaying the first game andpart of the second due toeffects from an illness —and Trina Current didmore than just fill in forher, scoring four kills, adig and a block. AngieMack added three kills, 10digs, an ace, an assist andtwo blocks and AshleyCurrent had two kills andtwo blocks.Libero Allison Morrett
led the defense with 34digs and added two as-sists, and Millhouse had14 digs and an ace."I've been saying this
all year. This is the goalwe set three years ago,"John Cash said. "We ex-pected to be here, and allof the other talk just did-n't matter."Today you saw how
gritty these girls are.Theyare tough."And they know how to
finish.
