According to the Cen- ters for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) more children than ever before are being diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder or ASD with 1 out of 88 based on data col- lected in 14 areas of the United States. It is five times more common in boys with a large number of diagnoses being made by age 3. “He’s starting to talk more, he wouldn’t hardly say two words,” said Wor- ley, who explained how she was referred to the Center after making a round of desperate phone calls and spoke with Star- rett on what she was going through. “She must have angel wings on her back, I don’t know what I would have done, she got us in that next Tuesday.” Program makes mom’s dream come true BY WILL E SANDERS Staff Writer [email protected] PIQUA — Widower Kenny Enz says he is livid with the court sentence im- posed against a Piqua woman caught grave- robbing the rest- ing place of his wife of 48 years at the Forest Hill Cemetery in May. The suspect, Nancy A. Ryan, 41, was convicted of theft, a misdemeanor, for stealing potted plants, a wreath and other ornaments from the grave of Joyce Enz, who died in February at the age of 69. After three pretrial conferences this summer Ryan was sentenced by Municipal Court Judge Mel Kemmer this week and aside from court costs, was fined $50 for steal- ing from the dead. Enz said he is “really bitter with the city” regarding how the case was prosecuted and the decision the court rendered. “It’s like a slap on the wrist,” he said as he became emotional. “It’s like saying, ‘Hey, it’s OK to steal from the dead.’” Authorities charged Ryan after Enz, and his still-grieving daughter, Holly Roberson, noticed flowers and other items memorializing Mrs. Enz were missing from her gravesite and decided to stake out the ceme- tery in an attempt to catch the thief red-handed. In May the daughter/father duo accomplished just that and followed Ryan back to her home. At Ryan’s home, they found on display on her front porch was a hanging flower basket filled with geraniums. But this wasn’t just any flower basket, it was the very same flower basket that Roberson placed on her mom’s grave for Mother’s Day. When the police were called Ryan claimed she purchased the flower basket at Walmart, but that’s when she received the surprise of a life- time: Roberson, on a lark, wrote the word “Enz” on the upper lip of the basket in case it was stolen.

“At that point, NancyRyan admitted to stealingflowers from the cemetery,”reads a police report writ-ten by police officer DaveShort.Roberson said she was

angry with Ryan when shefound out she was the onestealing from the grave ofher recently deceasedmother.“It’s bad enough I lost my

mom the way I did. I godown there (to the ceme-tery) and try to pay my re-spects to my mother andhere is this lowlife whokeeps stealing flowers,”Roberson said. “It’s hardenough to grieve withoutthese imbeciles doing that.”Enz, 70,whomarried his

late wife in 1964, said an-other time Ryan stole awreath from his wife’sgrave, too. He said he no-

ticed that Ryan had agarage sale one day andwas shocked to see thatvery same wreath for salefor $1. The upset widowerhad paid $52 for thewreath. He bought it backfrom Ryan for $1 as evi-dence for the police.Both Enz and Roberson

said that since Ryan’s ar-rest and conviction theyhave not experienced anymore cases of grave robberyat Forest Hill Cemetery.

the change would be inthe best interest of thedistrict. These numberswere especially neededwith city water rates in-creasing.Many noted that well

water would be harder onthe new school’s equip-ment, that well watermeans testing must bedone and that energyusing treatment equip-ment must be installed.Hanes said that al-

though city water ratesare increasing, he believesthat with the cost ofdrilling a second well forthe fire suppression sys-tem, the wear that wellwater will put on theequipment and the cost oftreatment, “it would be awash.”“We might as well just

bite the bullet and do itnow,” said board memberFrank Patrizio referringto the possibility that awell dries up. Also duringthe discussion he pointedout that “If I’m going tosupport an entity, I’mgonna support one thatI’m paying taxes for.”The board chose not to

table the item for a laterdate as to not delay thebuilding process. There-fore, a decision was madeto head in the direction ofVectren, Piqua Power andcity water by a vote of 4 to1. Citing “lack of informa-tion” Crawford voted no.In other news:• High School Principal

Tony Lyons shared that heand Athletic DirectorDave Palmer are review-ing the draft athletic codeof conduct after the dis-trict’s legal representativemade suggestions. He saidthat a new draft would bepresented to the board inMarch.• The board formally

approved the use of HighStreet Primary School siteto be used for modularclassrooms as the “SwingSpace” during construc-tion. Students fromWash-ington IntermediateSchool would move to theHigh Street site. Thiswould be implementedwith the start of the 2013-14 school year. To allow formore parking, pavementwould be added to theschool extending the park-ing lot to “almost the endof the lot.” Bids will go out

for the pavement job onSept. 11. Dirt will bestockpiled at the site. Thiswill save the districtmoney since it will not behauling in dirt from an-other location, it will forma physical barrier andafter the modulars havebeen removed, the dirtwill be put in their places.• Hanes reported that

district report cards wereexpected Aug. 17, but havebeen held up due to “unex-pected absences” at thestate level. They are nowexpected sometime afterSept. 10. Hanes said thatwhile they are eager to getthe report card, they areprogressing without them.• The board approved a

contract in the amount of$37,150 to Allied FenceBuilders for the installa-tion of a perimeter fenceat the north end of WertzStadium.The fence will be8 feet high and will standabout 30 feet from theroad. Telescopic backstops may also be in-stalled to keep soccer ballsof U.S. Route 36 as well.“With the city redoing

Route 36 we have the op-portunity to remodel thatstadium particularly the

fence,” Hanes said.And, in his treasurer’s

report, Jeff Price sharedthat the district finishedthe fiscal year in the blackfor the fifth year.“Our carryover is 97

days putting us in the besteconomic value we havebeen in,” he said.He added that the

emergency operating levywill expire Dec. 31, 2013.The board will need tobegin looking into when toput the renewal on thebudget. Hanes noted“We’re not talking thisfall. We’re talking some-time 2013.”The district’s Perma-

nent Improvement levywill expire Dec. 31, 2014.Usually there are fourelections a year. Govern-ment leaders are dis-cussing eliminating two ofthese elections leavingdistrict’s with just twochances to pass a levy in ayear. Hanes and Price arekeeping a close eye on thispending decision.The board will meet

again at 7 p.m. Thursday,Sept. 27 in the City Com-mission Chambers of theMunicipal GovernmentComplex.

Having gone throughthe first block of sessions,Worley is eager to getSamuel into another set,once she gets their sched-ule established with theMiami County preschoolin Troy that begins nextweek. “I think anotherblock would do him somegood. It helps him, he hadoutbursts of anger, nowhe is doing better anddoesn’t have as manytantrums, doesn’t cry asmuch.”Other milestones for

Samuel is identifyingbody parts, such as hisnose, feet and hands.“He never knew that

before, he never could sayit, he says it now,” saidWorley who, with the helpof the Center, also haschanged Samuel’s diet, re-moving gluten foods thatcan trigger many of hisbehaviors.“With autistic kids you

have to look at the wholepicture,” said Starrett of

the diet change withmany stores now carryinggluten-free products, andthat care must be takenwith dairy foods, suggest-ing for Worley to try al-mond or coconut milk.Autistic children such,

as Samuel, also will try toeat inedible items such ascrayons or even toiletpaper. They are also sen-sitive to light and sound.“I could not go to the

store with him, I could notgo anywhere,” saidWorleyof how Samuel was notonly afraid of other peoplebut did not like the storedue to the fluorescentlighting. That autisticchildren can hear thehumming sound producedby the fixtures. “It justdrove him nuts. Now I canwalk into a store, put himin a cart, and do my shop-ping.”“He used to be a runner,

and now you can workoutside?” said Starrett ofthe benefits of the neuro-feedback program forWorley, who looked

stressed when she firstcame to the Center.“When you have a kidthat’s crying all the time.”“Before he would just

jet from me,” agreed Aprilwho said she was havinga hard time, not only as asingle mother withoutmuch family support andan autistic child but isdoing better. “But now, Ihold his hand and hewalks with me.”Worley also noted how

Samuel makes far moreeye contact and would notallow anyone else to touchhim besides his mother.“At first, he wouldn’t let

anyone touch him,” saidWorley but now Starrettcan touch him, such asthrough tickling. “Kimcan get him to crack uplaughing.”Neurofeedback is a

non-invasive retraining ofthe brain. Electrodes areadhered to the scalp withgel at various places onthe scalp according to de-sired brain frequencyreading that is fed to a

computer video gameplaying out on a screen.The procedure is operantconditioning, where previ-ous patterns of undesiredbehaviors are replacedwith new.“Twenty sessions has

got him calmed down, butwith autistic kids there’sso many areas of thebrain you can work with,I hate to give numbers,”said Starrett when askedon how many sessionswould be best for childrensuch as Samuel, with asuggested range of 80 to120 sessions. “People don’tlike to hear that but ifpeople want to see results,really make it stick, it’sgoing to take that.”“I think he would be off

if I stopped him, you cantell when he needs neuro,”said Worley. “You have tobring them out of it, andhe’s coming out slowly.”For more information

It’s crazy I’m perform-ing with him again, but in an arena,”Williams said. “Once you get thatfeeling of moving a crowd, you justwant more and more of it. It’s addict-

ing.”In the past year,Williams has per-

formed all over the state of Ohio,with shows in Cleveland, Akron,Dayton, Cincinnati, and Athens. Hehas opened for nationally known actssuch as 2 Chainz, Too Short, Time-flies, and Chip tha Ripper, as well asoutdoor concerts, shows at parties,and other smaller shows to helpbuild his state-wide fan base.Williams also has passed out more

My eldest daughter will be 11 years old nextweek, an age that makes for some difficulty interms of gift buying. She’s not quite old

enough for some things and too old for others. So Iasked for a list of what she would like, hoping for afairly easy out comparable to my 9-year-old’s list fromher birthday last month.Hands down Emma’s July birthday was the easiest

ever, three clicks on Amazon.com and I was done.However, when it comes to my eldest I’ve come to

realize my goal of teaching the value of a dollar hasfallen on deaf ears. Brianne’s birthday list consistedof a Harry Potter Lego collection, a violin, and a lap-top, with a note at the bottom, “That’s it!”That’s it? Whew! I was starting to worry I wouldn’t

get to spend any money. Oy.I began a short, mental

check-off beginning withthe violin. An item we’vediscussed several timesand have put on holduntil further directionfrom the school. I’ve noproblem with her want-ing to learn violin but notabout to fork over an armuntil the school gives athumbs up that she evenhas the option of being inorchestra, playing anarm, this coming school year.Check off violin.The laptop is out of the question, while I’ve dis-

cussed passing down my older, gifted laptop to her,we’ve not come to that decision yet, but a new one?That’s a leg, so no.Check off laptop.I get to the Harry Potter Lego item that apparently

consists of one Horn-Tail dragon and I’m thinking,OK, no problem. She’s a few other HP Lego collectionsand seems to enjoy putting them together, tearingthem apart, repeat. I went to aforementioned Ama-zon.com and proceeded to have a coronary at the $350price tag for tiny bits of plastic that inevitably end upon the floor. Usually on the staircase where one leastexpects it, while barefoot, of course. Which is why Iblame not the kid for this transgression but the cat.Don’t you love a cohesive story?Anyway, our cat, Kip, has it out for us. I can’t tell

you the number of times one of us has started downthe stairs at home to step on the cat. There’s the en-suing shriek followed by latching onto the banister fordear life, heart up in your throat, as the cat becomesnothing but a streak of gray as he races away.Kip may act offended, ears flat, tail thumping back

and forth, that no one noticed his enormous bulksqueezed between steps but I know he’s really laugh-ing his whiskers off. He’s done this so many times thatit has to be on purpose. Not to mention, when comingthrough the front door he likes to meld into the stair-case landing so as to take swipes at the passerby’shead.The cat is out for blood. Trips on stairs, battered

heads, and misplaced Lego’s is only the beginning.It’s bad enough I’m already wary of steps because

I’ve fallen down them. Not because of the cat but afterchecking on the girls one stormy night, I came backdown the stairs and misjudged how many more stepsI had to go in the dark.Whoooops…The highlight of this event, that left me with a fat

lip for more than a week, wasn’t so much the pain, butshopping for bridesmaid dresses with my future sis-ter-in-law the next morning. Going from one shop toanother in preparation of her impending marriage tomy younger brother while looking like I’d gone a cou-ple rounds with Evander Holyfield was embarrassing.People either stared or tried to nonchalantly peek inthe Phantom of the Opera’s direction.Trying to explain what happened, with a fat lip, was

no easy task, either. It involved a lot of spit.When coming down the stairs on anything but a

brilliantly sunny day, I’m all over that banister but itstill makes for a shock when a foot lands on a ball offur or a sharp-edged Lego that I know the cat has putthere. I just know it!Maybe Brie would like a new cat for her birthday?

If you have been activelylooking for a job re-cently, you may have

heard of the websiteOhioMeansJobs.com. If not,then I encourage you tocheck it out. The site is agreat resource for employ-ers and jobseekers alike tofind what they are lookingfor in the jobs market.This service has been in-

troduced in other states aswell, the Ohio version hasexisted for a couple years. It is becomingespecially relevant now that the state isseeing growth in its economy.Now, we are even seeing the problem

of jobs not being filled, primarily for acouple of reasons. First, the training re-quired by the job does not always matchwhat jobseekers have been trained to do.But secondly, some people do not alwaysknow that a job is available. This web-site hopes to eliminate that.When I talk to people throughout the

district who have been hit by the strug-gling economy during the past few years,they make it clear that they want to getback to work. Therefore, I wanted to callattention to this website to inform peo-ple in the district of another tool theycan use in their job hunt.

Accessible by computer orhandheld electronic device,Ohio Means Jobs allowspeople looking for work tosubmit a resume to the siteand to specify what types ofjobs they are looking for.Searches can be narrowedbased on location, drivingdistance and key words.Seemingly the only thingthe site does not do is combyour hair and iron yourshirt before the interview.

Employers can post available posi-tions online and search through thou-sands of potential resumes beforechoosing viable applicants. Ohio MeansJobs is basically a one-stop shop for any-one either looking for a job or hiring newworkers.As Ohio’s economy continues to re-

bound, I expect this site to become in-creasingly beneficial.

To the Editor:I heard the commentary

on a news program, andcouldn’t believe what hadbeen said. A Republicanrepresentative from Mis-souri now for the Senate(ToddAkin), was asked forhis opinion on abortion inthe cases of rape. Hereplied and I kid you not— “Well, in the cases of le-gitimate rape, a woman’sbody has ways to preventa pregnancy from forming,so it’s a moot question.”What??What is legitimaterape? Have there everbeen any illegitimaterapes? How can someonebe so misinformed? Then,I remembered that the Re-publican platform has aplank which states thatabortion is wrong, regard-less of the circumstancessurrounding the preg-nancy. Even vice presiden-tial candidate Paul Ryanopposes abortion in allcases, except for the healthof the mother.These attitudes drive

me to distraction. Abor-tion, for the vast majorityof women, is not some-thing to be scheduled be-tween a pedicure and shoeshopping. It is a heart-wrenching, soul-aching de-cision to be reached whenall other options have tobe abandoned. Add to thatthe horror of having beenraped to the equation — itis just too ugly to imagine.The majority of rapecrimes are not even re-ported because of the pre-vailing attitude that “shemust have asked for it.”No one wants to gothrough the mind-numb-ing questions that are sureto follow the charge. Whowould ask to be torturedlike that?It is claims like this that

make me realize how im-portant women’s health is-sues are in this day andage.Womenmust have med-

ical support when they arefaced with preventingpregnancy, when makingdecisions about pregnancy,and with counseling fol-lowing the loss of a preg-nancy. The educationshould not be restricted towomen only, either; menshould be thoroughly edu-cated about their roles inthese scenarios. After all,unless her name wasMary, no woman had ababy all on her own.Come on, people; step

up to the plate. Help tosupport the programs thathelp women to make themost important decisionsof their lives.

Excerpts of recent editorials ofstatewide and national interest fromOhio newspapers:

Warren Tribune ChronicleGovs. Earl Ray Tomblin of West Vir-

ginia and John Kasich of Ohio are rightto be exploring whether state govern-ment vehicle fleets should include carsand trucks fueled by natural gas. Theyalso are correct to be moving cautiously,however.West Virginia and Ohio are involved

in a 13-state consortium promoting useof natural gas in government vehicles.Two representatives, the governors ofColorado and Oklahoma, were in Detroitlast week to discuss the initiative withthe Big Three automakers.The idea is toencourage production of more cars andtrucks that use natural gas instead ofgasoline.Proponents of the idea, including not

just state officials but many in local gov-ernments, say gas may be cheaper thangasoline, saving taxpayers’ money. In ad-dition, more natural gas cars and truckswould increase demand for the fuel, ben-efiting areas like ours with rich depositsof the fuel.But it is a question whether artificial

methods of increasing demand for gasare necessary or even wise in the longrun.Already, despite a mild winter, gas

prices are trending upward. This week,gas was selling for around $2.80 perthousand cubic feet an increase of about40 percent during just the past sixmonths. A price hike for petroleum ofthat magnitude in that amount of timewould cause a national outcry.Still, even at the current price, gas is

a bargain.But if prices continue to rise, natural

gas vehicles may seem to be less of agood deal for consumers and taxpayers.

Editorial roundup

1. You are declarer withthe West hand at ThreeNotrump, and North leadsthe jack of diamonds. Howwould you play the hand?

2. You are declarer withthe West hand at SixSpades, and North leadsthe queen of clubs. Howwould you play the hand?

1. You start with eightsure tricks andmanydiffer-ent ways to try to acquire aninth. But to nail down the

contract beyond the shadowof a doubt, win the openingdiamond lead in dummy,play the king of clubs andovertake it with the ace!Continue with the ten of

clubs, forcing out the jack orqueen. Regardless of whowins the trick orwhat is re-turned, you are in completecommand. Sooner or lateryou force out the othermissing club honor, therebyassuring yourself of threeclub tricks and the contract.If you try any other

method of play, you mightsucceed, but youmight alsofail. The only way to guar-antee three notrump is byovertaking the king of clubswith the ace.2. Obviously, the only

problem is to avoid losingtwo trump tricks, since you

have no losers in the threeother suits.To give yourselfthe best chance, you shouldtake the first club withdummy’s king and lead atrump toward your hand.If South produces the

queen or king of trumps attrick two, your worries areover. You win with the ace,return the jack of trumpsand shortly thereafter chalkup the slam. But what doyou do if South followswitha low trump at trick two?The correct percentage

play -- the play thatwillwinin the long run -- is the jack,planning to finesse again

later if the jack loses to thequeen or king.Despite any-thing youmight have heardor thought to the contrary,the planned second finesseis far better than going upwith the ace on the secondround of trumps if Southfollows low again.The suggested line of

play is not guaranteed tosucceed; it is merely thebest way to play the givensuit combination and offersabout a 75 percent proba-bility of losing only one trickin the suit.

I am a loner. Idon’t like too many peoplein my space, but I don’twant to hurt her feelings. Ijust want her to get a life.I’mmarried; she’s single.Wehave nothing in common, inmy opinion, and she tries tokeep up with my everymove. If I don’t answer thephone at home, she callsmeat work. Help me tell thisperson, without being hurt-ful and rude, that I like herbut I want to have a normaladult relationship with her.I have other close friends,but I don’t have to call ortalk to them every day tomaintain our friendship.

DEAR INFRINGEDUPON:Thewomanmay betrying to live vicariouslythrough you, which is whyshe’s calling daily andpumping you for informa-tion. Tell her that phonecalls atwork are distracting,so please don’t call youthere. She should also betold that while you like her,the closeness she craves hasbecome claustrophobic andis making you uncomfort-able, so to please limit hercalls to one or two aweek. Ifyou do not set boundaries,you can’t expect her to ob-serve them.

DEAR ABBY: I know afairlywell-to-do couplewho,after living together for awhile, have decided to getmarried. I went to their on-line wedding registry to se-lect something for themandwas stunned to see that sev-eral of the items theyhad onthere were pricey items fortheir CATS. Is this the sta-tus quo these days, or is itjust plain bad taste?I chose to put money to-

ward another item,but nowI’m wondering if it will gowhere it was directed —and not to the cats. It wasalso suggested that I pro-vide an email address sothat an e-card of thanksmight be sent.Abby, you keep telling

your readers that timeshave changed. I reluctantlyguessweneed to resign our-selves to the emails, but

what is your take on the giftsuggestions?

DEAR OFFENDED:The couple you mentionedmay have most (or all) ofthe household items theyneed.While the request forsomething for their pets in-stead of themselves issomewhat unusual, no ruleof etiquette forbids it. Theobject is to give somethingthey can use, and I’m hav-ing trouble understandingwhy you find their requestoffensive.I do,however, take excep-

tion to the idea of a generic,mass mailing being used toacknowledge wedding giftsrather than an INDIVID-UAL thank you. If that’swhat they’re planning, itseems more of an imper-sonal “shrug” thananactualexpression of gratitude.

HILLEL ITALIE ANDLOLITA C. BALDORAssociated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) —A member of the U.S. NavySEAL team that killedOsama bin Laden has writ-ten a firsthand account ofthe operation, triggeringmore questions about thepossible public release ofclassified information in-volving the historic assaultof the terror leader’s com-pound in Pakistan.U.S. military officials say

they do not believe the bookhas been read or cleared bythe Defense Department,which reviews publicationsby military members tomake sure that no classifiedmaterial is revealed.The book, titled “No Easy

Day” and scheduled to bereleased next month on the11th anniversary of theSept. 11 terrorist attacks,comes amid a heated debateover whether members ofthe military — both activeduty and retired — shouldengage in political battles.“I haven’t read the book

and am unaware that any-

one in the Department hasreviewed it,” said Pentagonpress secretary George Lit-tle. White House and CIAofficials also said the bookhad not been reviewed bytheir agencies.The book announcement

comes just as a group of re-tired special operations andCIA officers have launcheda campaign accusing Presi-dent Barack Obama of re-vealing classified details ofthe mission and turning thekilling of bin Laden into acampaign centerpiece. Thegroup complains thatObama has taken too muchcredit for the operation.Their public complaints

drew a rebuke from Gen.Martin Dempsey, chairmanof the Joint Chiefs of Staff,as well as other special op-erations forces, who calledthe partisan criticism un-professional.Dempsey said that such

public political involvementby members of armed serv-ices erodes public confi-dence and trust in themilitary.The author of the upcom-

ing bin Laden book, who

has left the military, is usingthe pseudonym MarkOwen. And in a news re-lease from publisher Dut-ton, an imprint of PenguinGroup (USA), Owen de-scribes the book as an effortto “set the record straightabout one of the most im-portant missions in U.S.military history.”He said the book is about

“the guys” and the sacrificesthat the special operationsforces make to do the joband is written in the hopethat it will inspire youngmen to become SEALs.If the book sticks to his

personal thoughts about thejob and the mission, Owenmay be in the clear. Butoften special operationsforces must sign nondisclo-sure agreements. And theyare not allowed to releaseclassified information, suchas intelligence data or mili-tary tactics and proceduresused to ensure success ofthe May 2011 raid.Christine Ball, a spokes-

woman for Dutton, said thework was vetted by a for-mer special operations at-torney provided by theauthor.“He vetted it for tactical,

technical and procedural in-formation as well as infor-mation that could beconsidered classified bycompilation and found it tobe without risk to nationalsecurity,” Ball said.Defense Department

spokesman Lt. Col. JamesGregory said that if thebook reveals classified in-formation about the raid,the Pentagon would “deferto the Department of Jus-tice.”According to Pentagon

regulations, retired person-nel, former employees andnon-active duty members ofthe Reserves “shall use theDoD security review processto ensure that informationthey submit for public re-lease does not compromisenational security.”The CIA also could weigh

in because the agency ranthe secret bin Laden mis-sion.If there is classified infor-

mation in the book, the for-mer SEAL could face

criminal charges. And evenif he donates the money tocharity, for instance, that isunlikely to prevent the Jus-tice Department from suingto collect any future bookproceeds.Earlier this year, a fed-

eral judge ruled a CIA whis-tle-blower had to forfeitfuture money he earnedfrom a scathing book hewrote about the spy agencyafter he failed to get ap-proval from his former em-ployer before publication.The CIA accused the offi-

cer of breaking his secrecyagreement with the U.S.The former officer, whoworked deep undercover,published the book in July2008 using the pseudonymIshmael Jones.The CIA said his book,

“The Human Factor: Insidethe CIA’s Dysfunctional In-telligence Culture,” wassubmitted to the agency’spublications review boardunder a secrecy agreementthat covers books written byformer employees. ButJones, who published thebook before the reviewprocess was completed, saidit contained no classified in-formation.In 2010, the Defense De-

partment claimed a formerArmy intelligence officer’swar memoir threatened na-tional security. The Penta-gon paid $47,000 to destroy9,500 copies of the book,called “Operation DarkHeart: Spycraft and SpecialOps on the Frontlines ofAfghanistan — and thePath to Victory.”The book was written by

Anthony Shaffer, whoselawyer said the Army Re-serve cleared the manu-script beforehand but theDefense Department laterrescinded the approval,claiming the text containedclassified information.Shaffer and the publisher

agreed to remove the mate-rial.Dutton, which an-

nounced the book’s pendingrelease Wednesday, is plan-ning a major first print runof 300,000 copies, Ball said.The co-author, journalistKevin Maurer, has workedon four previous books.

A first-hand account of the Navy SEALmission that killed Osama bin Laden is coming outSept. 11. Dutton announced Wednesday that MarkOwen’s “No Easy Day” will “set the record straight”on the raid in Pakistan in May 2011. “Mark Owen” is apseudonym for the combat veteran who was one ofthe first fighters to enter bin Laden’s third floor hide-out and also witnessed his death, according to Dut-ton, an imprint of Penguin Group (USA).

Ohio students have onceagain tested above the na-tional average on the ACT,according to results releasedWednesday.Ohio’s class of 2012 had a

composite score of 21.8 inEnglish, reading, math andscience. This is the samescore the state has earnedfor the past two years.Scores are measured on ascale of 1 to 36.Although Ohio students

performed better than thenational average, still only28 percent of students tak-ing the test were deemedready for college-levelmate-rial byachievingbenchmarkscores in all four categories,compared to 25 percent na-tionally.A benchmark score is the

minimum score needed onan ACT subject-area test toindicate a 50percent chanceof obtaining a B grade orhigher,or about a 75percentchance of obtaining a Cgrade or higher in the corre-sponding credit-bearing col-lege course, according toACT.Still, the results from the

non-profit group ACT showthat Ohio has constantlyscored higher on the testthan the national averagesince at least 2008.

Mentor Schools Superin-tendent Matt Miller saidthat the district has consis-tently scored higher thanstate trends.“We continue to scorewell

above the state average,” hesaid. “Clearly our studentsare well prepared for theACTdue in large part to ourschool system in conjunctionwith our strong parent sup-port.”Students in that district

scored 22.2 in English, 23.7inmath,23.3 in reading and23.3 in science, compared tostate numbers of 21.1, 21.5,22.1, and 21.8, respectively.Mentor’s composite scorewas 23.3.For college readiness,

Mentor students scored asmuch as 17 percent higher

than state numbers in cer-tain subjects.Results for the Chardon

School District revealedtheir scoreswereabove stateaverage inall categories.Su-perintendent JosephBergant noted that withinthe last five years Chardonstudents have consistentlyimproved their scores on thecollege preparedness test.This year thedistrict’s av-

erage was 24, almost threefull percentagepointshigherthan the average figure forthe state.The district’s averages by

subject were English, 24;math,24.1;reading24.4;sci-ence, 24.4 and composite,24.3.“We’re very proud,”

Bergant said. “It shows the

achievement level of ourgraduates is increasingeveryyear.Even thought thestate keeps moving the barup we continue to showgrowth.”Administrators are also

very pleased with ChardonHigh senior Maggie Grauwho earned a compositescore of 36, the highest pos-sible.Nationally, while the ac-

tual number of studentsearning a 36 varies year toyear, roughly one-tenth of 1percent receive a top score.Among test takers in thehigh school graduating classof 2011,only 704 of themorethan 1.6 million studentsearned a top compositescore, according to informa-tion from the district.MARY KUHLMAN

COLUMBUS — Chil-dren and teenagers tweet,post pictures on Facebookand connect through manysocial media channels - andtheir parents in Ohio andaround the nation seem toaccept it.A new study by Chil-

dren’s Mercy Hospitals andClinics finds 83 percent ofparents consider the bene-fits of social media eitheroutweigh or equal the risks,and they think using it con-tributes in a positive way totheir children’s future.For young children, how-

ever, parents should thinkdifferently, warns psycholo-gist Dr. Edward Christo-phersen.“Given the mind of an 8-,

10-, 12-, 13-year-old child,the risk/benefit ratio is un-favorable, because theydon’t understand the possi-ble repercussions of it,” hesaid.Many of the parents sur-

veyed said children youngerthan 13 should not be usingsocial media. Some parentsare convinced it is okay fortheir children, though, be-cause “all the kids in theirclass do it.” Christophersensaid parents should be theones to set the age at which

they believe their child isold enough to handle socialmedia responsibly - andeven after allowing the childaccess,parents shouldmon-itor texts, tweets and posts.Christophersen said he

understands peer pressure,but parents need to care-fully consider their chil-dren’s level of maturity. Ifparents need support whensetting the rules, he sug-gests they get expert advice.“Maybe talk to the coun-

selor at school, the religiousadvisor, something likethat,” he said. “Determinean age below which they’renot going to let their childon social media - and thenstick with it.”

JOHN CARUCCIAssociated Press

NEWYORK — The marketing ge-niusbehind“Thomas theTankEngine”and those scandalous “Teletubbies”knows how to capture the hearts andminds of toddlers. Now he’s after theirfeet.Forhisnext project,“TheOogieloves

in the Big Balloon Adventure,” KennViselman is taking a new approach tothe preschool audience. The movieopens Aug. 29 and will have auditoryand visual cues that prompt the chil-dren to sing and dance in the aisles.“Why do we try tomake children do

what they’renaturallynot able todoatthe age?” Viselman asks of makingthem sit still and quiet.“We looked at the experience from a

child’s point of view,and insteadof say-ing to the child, come to themovie andbe an adult, we want them to come tothemoviesandbeachild,”he says.“Letchildren be children.”Sitting in Starbucks, you’d never

know the bespectacled man with awordy tattoowrappedaroundhis rightarmwas instrumental in creatingsomeof the biggest movements in children’stelevision programming. Before em-barking on a career for the preschoolset,heworked in thegarment industry.A change in career came when

“Thomas the Tank Engine” creatorBritt Allcroft brought Viselman onboard in 1990 to market merchandisefrom the show. At first, Viselman says

he was “going through the motions”until a letter from the mother of a 6-year-old boy with autism changedeverything.“She tellsme howhe’s in a catatonic

state all day and yetwhen theThomassegments comeonhe seems to stop.Doyou have anything to send him,”Visel-man recalls. So he found some mer-chandise lying around the office,whichincluded aT-shirt prototype.A few weeks later he received a

package.“There’s a picture of this boy wear-

ing this oneandonly shirt that Ihad inmy stockroom. The note’s from themother and themother says, you don’tknow how you’ve changed my life,” hesaid. “She opens it up, pulls out thething,thekid looksat themother,stopsshaking and says, ‘Choo Choo.’ It’s thefirst word that he’s ever spoken — hegrabs the shirt, puts it on, wears it forsix days, she has to bathe him in it. Inthat moment I understand the powerthat children’s television has.”Never one to buckle under conven-

tional wisdom, Viselman was instru-mental in bringing George Carlinonboard asMr.Conductor whenRingoStarr left the show.“To the kids he was just a sweet

creature that was 9 inches tall,” Visel-man says of the late comedian. “Somaking that choice meant that thechildviewerhadacharacter they loved,and at the same time the media couldhave something they could go crazy

over;theguy that says the sevenwordsyoucan’t sayonTV isnowonchildren’sprogramming.”While the Carlin hire was contro-

versial, his next stunt still resonatestoday. Back in 1999, his company, ItsyBitsyEntertainmentCo.,whichownedthe rights to “Teletubbies” in theWest-ernHemisphere,was looking togainanedge ahead of the New York Toy Fair.In his attempt to persuade a WallStreet Journal reporter to get what hecalled “the dot matrix image blurb onthe front page,”Viselman made a jokethat started a media storm over thesexual orientation of Teletubbies char-acterTinkyWinky.He’s the purple onewith the triangular antenna atop hishead.The Rev. Jerry Falwell then wrote

thatTinkyWinkymaybeagay icon.“Itbecomes the second largest story in theworld. Literally the only thing biggerwas Monica Lewinsky and her bluedress.Theonly story that gotmorehitson a global basis than this ridiculousquestion of is Tinky Winky a hetero-sexual or a homosexual?”Viselman admits he fabricated the

story, but he’s still confused by the re-action.“The Teletubbies have no genitalia.

Howcould theyhaveanysexuality?”heasks.“So,wedidn’t intend to create thatbut then it did and then how fantasticthat the gay community could have acharacter,have somebody that couldbetheirmascot.”

Q: Our 13-year-olddaughter has beenmature for her age

from early on. She takesadvanced classes andmakes straight A’s. She’salso very talented musi-cally. We think, however,that she has become amedia addict. She spendsentirely too much time inher room on her computer,mostly using social media.When she’s not on thecomputer, she’s using herphone to text her friends.We’ve asked her to limither use, but our words arefalling on deaf ears. Whatapproach would you rec-ommend short of cuttingoff the Internet and tak-ing away her phone? Sheneeds a computer to doher school work.A: If she’s addicted to

electronic media, whichmay be the case, then Idon’t think there’s any ap-proach that’s going towork short of restrictingher use of the Internetand taking away herphone.Move her computer to a

family area so you’re ableto monitor her use, whichyou can restrict to schoolpurposes. No child her ageshould have a privatepassword, by the way.That simply invites trou-ble, but you can’t do muchabout that as long as thecomputer is in her room.At age 13, she doesn’t

need her own cell phone,unless one defines need as“needing” to have whather friends have. You cangive her a cell phone onselect occasions, such as acamping trip where noother type of phone isavailable. It’s probably thecase that she doesn’t go onlots of camping trips,which only goes to provethat she doesn’t need herown cell phone.You’ve asked her to

limit her use? Who, praytell, is running yourhousehold? I suspect thatlike many of today’s par-ents, you’re reluctant todo anything about thisproblem that might causeyour daughter any incon-

venience, much less dis-tress. In the 12-Stepworld, that’s known as en-abling, and in the realworld, that’s how prob-lems go from bad to worse.Q: I know you think

children as young as 3should be doing choresaround the home. Thatseems awfully young, butcan you recommend sev-eral age-appropriatechores I can try with my3-and-one-half year olddaughter?A: Chores are an exer-

cise in good citizenship,which your great grand-mother said began in thehome.They teach childrenteamwork, responsibilityto others, and the serviceethic. As such, householdchores strengthen Amer-ica.By the time I was your

daughter’s age, mymother—single at thetime—had me washingfloors. She began my edu-cation in domestic mainte-nance in a small area ofthe house. In no time, Iwas washing large areaslike the kitchen. Oh, did Imention that chores alsoendow children with afeeling of competence andcontribution?One thing at a time,

teach your daughter howto wash floors, dust furni-ture, and help you cleanup after a meal. In notime, you’ll have a live-inmaid! And a happy one atthat!

NEW YORK — Twoyears before HurricaneIrene created the prospectof a flooding nightmare inNew York City, 100 scien-tists and engineers met tosketch out a bold defense:massive, moveable barri-ers to shield the city froma storm-stirred sea.Though the storm

caused billions of dollarsin damage along the East-ern Seaboard, Ireneproved not to be the urbancatastrophe forecastersfeared. But in the wake ofthe close call a year ago,elected officials and com-munity groups are press-ing for an evaluation ofwhether sea barriersmake sense for New York.The city has been gath-

ering information, whilestressing that barriers areonly one of many ideasbeing studied.Initially hesitant to rec-

ommend spending moneystudying a remote possi-bility, state AssemblymanRichard Gottfried nowfinds the barrier idea real-istic enough that he andstate Sen. Thomas Duanehave urged the city to giveit a thorough examination.Gottfried changed hismind before Irene, butfeels the storm which hitthe city head-on as a trop-ical storm on Aug. 28,2011 brought the pointhome to others.“I think it did make it

clear to a lot of New York-ers that we could not takeour safety for granted,” hesaid this week.To advocates, Irene

which shuttered subways,spurred evacuation ordersfor 370,000 people andraised fears that a surgeof seawater would cripplethe U.S. financial capital

added urgency to whatthey see as the best hopefor protecting New Yorkagainst a mountingthreat. But some expertsbelieve the city is betteroff focusing on more mod-

erate, immediate meas-ures to limit potentialdamage from storms andrising seas.The discussion illumi-

nates a potential dividingline for this city and oth-

ers projected to face amore flood-prone future ina changing climate: takebig, difficult steps in hopesof thwarting high water, ora roster of smaller ones in-tended to help manage it?

SAN JUAN, PuertoRico — Tropical StormIsaac churned toward theDominican Republic andHaiti on Thursday, threat-ening to strengthen into ahurricane that could takea shot at Florida just asthe Republicans gatherfor their national conven-tion.The storm dumped

heavy rain across easternand southern Puerto Ricoand whipped up waves ashigh as 10 feet (3 meters)in the Caribbean as itmoved through the region.U.S. forecasters said

Isaac could become a Cat-egory 1 hurricane today asit approaches the island ofHispaniola, which isshared by the DominicanRepublic and Haiti. It wasexpected to weaken a littlewhile crossing over Haitiand the eastern two-thirdsof Cuba.The storm was pro-

jected to head towardFlorida as a hurricane byMonday, but the U.S. Na-tional Hurricane Centerin Miami said some fore-cast models predict itcould go farther west intothe Gulf of Mexico, so “sig-nificant uncertainty re-mains about the threatIsaac poses to Florida.”Isaac was centered 180

miles (285) kilometerssouth-southwest of SanJuan, Puerto Rico, lateThursday afternoon, withmaximum sustainedwinds of 40 mph (65 kph).It was moving west-north-west at 16 mph (26 kph),according to the hurricanecenter.Haitian Prime Minister

Laurent Lamothe urgedpeople to avoid crossingrivers and to tape theirwindows, and said theyshould ask relatives over-seas to wire money so theycan stock up on food andwater.

Above all, he said, itwas important to staycalm. “Panic creates moreproblems,” he said.Lamothe and other offi-

cials in Haiti, which isprone to flooding, said thatthe government has setaside about $50,000 inemergency funds and thatit had buses and 32 boatson standby for evacua-

tions.While Haiti’s govern-

ment spent the daypreparing for Isaac, othersdid not because they did-n’t have the means. Thenotion of preparation in acountry where the bulk ofthe population gets by onabout $2 a day was metwith a shrug.“We don’t have houses

that can bear a hurri-cane,” said Jeanette Lau-redan, who lives in a tentcamp in the crowded Del-mas district of Port-au-Prince, stretching out herarms in concern.About 400,000 people

remain in settlementcamps that are mere clus-ters of shacks and tarps asa result of Haiti’s devas-

tating 2010 earthquake.So far, Isaac itself had

caused no reported in-juries or deaths, but po-lice in Puerto Rico said a75-year-old woman diednear the capital of SanJuan onWednesday whenshe fell off a balconywhile filling a drum withwater in preparation forthe storm.

Mitt Romney and PaulRyan will make their firstOhio joint appearance in aSaturday morning rally,visiting the critical battle-ground state ahead of nextweek’s Republican Na-tional Convention.The campaign said

Thursday they will be atthe Village Green Park inPowell, in central Ohio.Romney last came to

Ohio on a bus tourAug. 14,three days after announc-ing the Wisconsin con-gressman as his runningmate. Ryan also cam-paigned separately lastweek in Ohio, visiting hisalma mater Miami Uni-versity in Oxford andWalsh University in NorthCanton.Their campaign is offer-

ing a “once-in-a-lifetimechance” to personally joinRomney and Ryan on theroad in Ohio, asking a $3donation for a chance towin.Two polls released

Thursday gave differentviews of how the presiden-tial and U.S. Senate racesare going in the state.One indicated the addi-

tion of Ryan hasn’t movedOhio voters. The poll byQuinnipiac University,CBS News and The NewYork Times showed Presi-dent Barack Obama hold-ing steady with a 50-44percent lead in the state,with a 2.8 percent plus-or-minus margin of error.

WASHINGTON (AP)The United States andTurkey are stepping upplanning to deal withemergency scenarios thatmay arise in Syria, in-cluding the possible useof chemical weapons, asfighting between govern-ment troops and rebelsintensifies.Senior diplomatic,mil-

itary and intelligence of-ficials from the U.S. andTurkey met in Istanbulon Thursday to go overdetailed operationalplans for “the full range ofcontingencies,” the StateDepartment said. Offi-cials said the U.S. is posi-tioning stocks ofbio-hazard gear in the re-gion as part of the plan-ning for an internationalresponse if chemicalweapons are used.The steps are being

taking “in case we con-front a situation where(Syrian PresidentBashar) Assad makes aterrible and horrificchoice.” State Depart-ment spokeswoman Vic-toria Nuland toldreporters.Thursday’s meeting

comes on the heels ofPresident BarackObama’s statement thatthe use or movement ofSyria’s chemical weaponswould be a “red line” forthe United States to con-sider military interven-tion in the situation.In addition to laying

out a response to the po-tential use of chemicalweapons by Assad’sregime, the officials fo-cused on how to help se-cure them and otheradvanced or sophisticatedarmaments once he is outof power, Nuland said.“When that day comes

when the Assad regimefalls and we move intotransitional government,the international commu-nity will want to offer theSyrian people support formanaging and disposingof some of the most dan-gerous weapons of theAssad regime,” she said.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) —Tropical Storm Isaac couldforce a shakeup of the se-curity plans for the GOPconvention in Tampa, be-cause about half of the ex-pected officers come fromother parts of Florida andsome could be forced tostay home for the storm,authorities said Thursday.More than 3,500 offi-

cers from 59 law enforce-ment agencies fromaround the state arescheduled to come toTampa to patrol thestreets as the conventionopens Monday. About halfwould come from outside

Hillsborough County andthe city of Tampa.About 1,700 National

Guard troops were al-ready expected to helpwith patrols.HillsboroughCounty Sheriff David Geesaid the number could in-crease if other law en-forcement agencies don’tend up sending officers.The storm is forecast to

start affecting SouthFlorida on Monday andcould reach the Tampaarea by Tuesday.“We’re in a situation

right now where we don’tknow what’s going to hap-pen,” Gee said. “My pri-

Miami County Fair results

BY ANN SANNERAssociated Press

COLUMBUS —Earlyvoting hours are the samefor the first time across thebattleground state of Ohio,but the views are varied.The hours have been

met with pushback by sev-eral county officials,adopted by others andsparked a letter to thestate’s elections chief fromat least one election boardmember.The new early voting

times have come up atboards of electionmeetingsacross the state,mostly no-tably in southwest Ohiowhere twoDemocratic elec-tion officials face possibleremoval for voting to ex-pand the hours beyondthose outlined by Secretaryof State Jon Husted.Elsewhere, boards in

counties including Lakeand Butler have acceptedthe new times and postedthem on their websites.Ohio is one of 32 states,

plus the District of Colum-bia, that allow voters tocast an early ballot in per-son without having to givea reason.

Before Husted’s direc-tive, 88 county electionboards composed of two Re-publicans and two Democ-rats apiece were settingtheir own early votinghours. Weekend andevening hours differed.In his role as elections

chief,Husted broke a seriesof ties in favor of regularbusiness hours. All were inDemocratic-leaning coun-ties, while some Republi-can-leaning counties thatdidn’t tie had voted to setextended hours.The disparities caused

partisan uproar across thestate, prompting the Re-publican Husted last weekto order all counties to havethe same early voting hourson weekdays and none onweekends, once early vot-ing begins on Oct. 2.Democrats,whose power

is concentrated in Ohio’slargest cities and counties,complained that Husted’suniform hours would dis-enfranchise urban voterswith long lines and cur-tailed access.Amid the furor, Franklin

County Republican Chair-man Doug Preisse an allyof Republican Gov. JohnKasich told The ColumbusDispatch: “We shouldn’tcontort the voting processto accommodate the urbanread African-American

voter-turnout machine.”Preisse later said in astatement that his com-ments were misused,adding, “I believe that vot-ing should be easy, conven-ient, and unintimidatingfor all voters.”Husted’s directivemeans

counties that had alreadyopted to open for early vot-ing during mornings, lateevenings or on weekendsnow cannot do so. It alsomeans expanded hours incounties where Husted’stie-breaking votes wouldhave closed offices at 5 p.m.Democratic- leaning

Montgomery County,which is home to Dayton,was among the places thathad set weekend hours be-fore the directive.Democrats Dennis

Lieberman and TomRitchie Sr. had voted to fol-low Husted’s directive butto restore the weekendhours the board membershad set. The move ledHusted to suspend themfor failing to act consis-tently with his order andstart the process for re-moving them. Husted tem-porarily lifted thesuspension onThursday sothe board could do its work.He continues to await ahearing officer’s reportabout whether they shouldbe fired.

Views vary on Ohio’suniform early voting

COLUMBUS (AP) —Ohio officials want tobuild a state facility thatwould temporarily housepotentially dozens of ex-otic animals confiscatedunder a new law that isabout to take effect.A price tag is still being

calculated, a spokes-woman for the state’s De-partment of Agriculturetold The Associated Press

on Thursday. And a leg-islative committee wouldhave to approve the funds.Any seized animals,

which could range fromlong constricting snakesto Bengal tigers, would becared for under the super-vision of the state veteri-narian, said EricaPitchford, the depart-ment’s spokeswoman.The proposal comes as

the state prepares tocrack down on owners ofexotic animals, withoutyet knowing exactly howmany lions, leopards,bears and other creaturesare living in the state.The facility would be

built at the department’scampus in a rural part ofReynoldsburg, just out-side Columbus, Pitchfordsaid.

After a three year ab-sence, the 1915 basketballteam finished with sevenwins against an equalnumber of losses. There was little enthu-

siasm for the 1916 seasonuntil after the openeragainst Pleasant Hill. “The Piqua High school

basket ball five opened the1916 playing season lastevening meeting PleasantHill in the high schoolgym and winning by ascore of 43 to 21. “The gym was filled to

its capacity by an enthusi-astic crowd of studentsand other devotees of thegame. The attendancelast evening is a promisethat the school is to give

the same enthusiasticsupport in basketball thatfootball received. “The game the boys put

up last night, althoughthey never really had toextend themselves fully,was so good that the highschool students are assert-ing the squad will gothrough the season with-out a defeat.”Anna was the next foe. “The red and blue bas-

ket ball team showed theirheels to the boys fromAnna last evening in thePiqua High school gym,winning by a score of 66 to7. “The Anna quintet came

to Piqua with a goodrecord. They were ex-

pected to put up a fairlygood game against P.H.S.But when they went onthe floor the visitorsseemed to go all to pieces. “The home team went

on the floor in fine condi-tion. They showed the re-sults of the careful andpainstaking drill they

have been receiving fromCoach Ditmer. The faultsthat were shown in thePleasant Hill game theweek before were elimi-nated. “Their passing showed

remarkable improvement.Thus far neither PleasantHill nor Anna have reallymade the local highschool squad extend them-selves. These two gameshave been disappointingso far as making the boysshow their real form.”A trip to rival Sidney

took place the next week. “The Piqua High School

basket ball five went toSidney last evening andwere visitors in a gamewith the Sidney High

school quintet, the score infavor of Piqua 44 to 29. Inthe game with the Sidneyboys last night the Piquaboys passing was splendidin both halves. Sidneywas unable to break it upeffectively.”Greenville then visited

Piqua. “Piqua High school

kept up her winning wayslast evening sendingGreenville High home onthe short end of a very ab-breviated basketball score.The ‘figgers’ are: P.H.S.74, Greenville 13. The re-sult of the basket ballgame shows that evenwhen the G.H.S. boys have

BY JEFF SCHUDELWilloughby Herald

So much has been madeof the Browns using thesecond game of the pre-season as their “dress re-hearsal” instead of thethird game one mightthink Coach Pat Shurmurwanted to alter the order

of the days of the week.The third of four sum-

mer games for the Brownsis at 7:30 tonight in Cleve-land Browns Stadiumagainst the Eagles. The reason Shurmur

isn’t making this as closeas a preseason game getsto the real thing is theBrowns and Eagles open

the regular season onSept. 9 in Cleveland.It isn’t a big deal. Shur-

mur still plans to play hisstarters into the thirdquarter — the healthyones. He just isn’t going to

show the Eagles anythingthey can study on tape togive them an advantage

two weeks from Sunday.“I think it will be more

of a lack of scheme thingmore than anything,”Shurmur said. “In termsof the guys out there play-ing, our guys need work. “Hopefully, we’ll get this

team to where we have alot of tough decisionsevery year.”

PackersbeatBengalsCincinnati losespreseason gameCINCINNATI (AP) —

Aaron Rodgers led GreenBay to a big first halfThursday night, runningfor 52 yards and twotouchdowns for a 27-13preseason victory.The MVP quarterback

got the Packers (No. 1 inthe AP Pro32) moving atfull speed. He went 12 of22 for 154 yards whileleading the Packers to 245yards and a 17-6 halftimelead. He also scrambledsix times, scoring on runsof 12 and 5 yards.Running back Cedric

Benson made his Packersdebut against his formerteam and ran six times for38 yards.The Bengals (No. 14)

played their starters intothe third quarter but theycouldn't get a touchdown,failing even on a first-and-goal from the 1-yard line.Former Piqua standout

Brandon Saine missed thegame for the Packers witha hamstring injury.

their best team on thefloor they are not in theclass of P.H.S.“Greenville had sought

to explain and to excusetheir defeat of the weekbefore by Tippecanoe Cityto have been due to sick-ness. ‘Mebbe’ so, but sickor well it didn’t makemuch difference to thelocal promising young pilltossers.“The Greenville bunch

came on the floor lookingdetermined but that isjust as far as they got.The game had been goingbut a little while until thedetermined looks hadfaded and were replacedby distress signals.”Piqua then ventured to

Troy for their next en-counter.“P.H.S. defeated Troy at

basket ball last eveningin the first meeting of theschools in the game forseveral years. It followsnaturally that the scorewas 28-25.:A crowd of more than

50 went down to Troy tosee the contest. The redand blue did not play upto the standard they arecapable of playing.“The game was fast and

at times rough. Numer-ous fouls were called. Attimes the excitement ranhigh but at no time wasthere anything thatthreatened to go beyondbounds.“Under the conditions

the game was a good gameto see. From a spectatorspoint of view a Piqua-Troygame always is worth see-ing for it is a sure thingthat neither team willhave much on the other.”

Middletown hostedPiqua the next week.“P.H.S. was beaten last

night at basket ball by theMiddletown H.S. five, thescore being Middletown29, Piqua 26.“Beaten but not dis-

graced is the story thatmay be told. Piqua andM.H.S. were right to-gether all the way.“In fact it was only in

the last five minutes ofplay that Middletown wasable to pull into a threepoint lead that gave themthe victory.“From the start of the

game Piqua showed betterform in passing. TheM.H.S. boys were disposedto take long shots whichoften found a wearer ofthe red and blue on the re-ceiving end.“Prior to the game a

program of music wasgiven by the MiddletownH.S. orchestra.”The rematch with Sid-

ney was not even close.“P.H.S. qualified for

front seats in the ComeBack club last night bydefeating Sidney by a 65-22 score. This decisivebeating given the Sidneyboys satisfies the wearersof the red and blue thattheir defeat by Middle-town was only a fluke.“From start to finish

P.H.S. had Sidney trailing.Sidney never was closeenough to make the resultdoubtful.“A rather remarkably

large crowd was out to seethe game, remarkable be-cause of unfavorableweather conditions ratherthan to a prior lack of sup-port by P.H.S. students.Sidney sent down thelargest crowd of rooters

that has visited Piqua thisseason.”Dayton Steele hosted

Piqua the next week.“Piqua High School took

the measure of SteetleHigh in Dayton lastevening, defeating themby the score of 34 – 31.The wearers of the redand blue went down to theGem city and broughthome a victory.“The Steele boys before

the game showed a dispo-sition to class but whenthey got into the game totheir sorrow found theywere up against an un-beatable program.”One of the Piqua play-

ers was injured during theSteele game.“In the P.H.S. - Steele

basket ball game at theHigh school gym Holloway,playing right guard forPiqua, collided with thewall of the gym with greatforce.After a few minutes rest

he was able to return tothe game although still abit dazed.“After the game it was

seen that the boy’s condi-tion demanded the atten-tion of a physician. Dr.W.J. Kelley found Hol-loway suffering from a se-vere concussion of thebrain. This morning hewas considerably better.He is at the home of Craig,the P.H.S. center.”

Dayton Stivers wasnext on the schedule.“That 39-30 score that

Piqua High marked upagainst Stivers of Daytonlast night in the P.H.S.gym certainly does lookvery good.“The visitors came up

hopeful they could hand adefeat over the red andblue.“Instead they returned

home having a worse beat-ing than their rivals,Steele High, took lastweek. The record crowd ofthe season was out to seethe game. Every inch ofspace was occupiedandnot a few were able to getwhere they could get evenan occasional eye full. Thecrowd was enthusiasticand as demonstrative asP.H.S. usually are.”Piqua was one of many

teams playing in a tourna-ment at Ohio Wesleyan.“Piqua High won hergame this afternoon in thefirst round of games forthe Ohio State Basketball

championship in theO.W.U. gym.“Lewisburg opposed the

red and blue. The scorewas Piqua 35, Lewisburg16. In the second round ofthe games Piqua meetsStivers of Dayton.“The red and blue be-

lieve they have a betterthan even chance to finishin front in this series.Only last Friday P.H.S. de-feated Stivers by a 39 -30score.“At the drawing for po-

sitions last night PiquaHigh was scheduled toplay at 1:30 this after-noon. P.H.S. drew Lewis-burg for her opponent.“The drawing was made

at a meeting attended bythe coaches and team cap-tains held in the O.W.U.gym.“Coach Ditmer and the

boys arrived in Delawareearly, leaving home yes-terday afternoon and trav-eling via Springfield. Theboys went to bed earlyand got a good night’s rest.“The red and blue got

accustomed to the floor inabout five minutes time.After that the boys playedwith complete confidencein themselves and wenton to win easily overLewisburg.”In the second game of

the tourney, Piqua playedStivers once again.“Piqua High lost to

Stivers of Dayton in thesecond round of the gamesfor the state champi-onship conducted by OhioWesleyan last evening.The score was Stivers 22,Piqua 16.“Piqua had used rather

poor judgment in piling upa big score against NorthLewisburg in the openinground. The red and bluefive was tired and nervouswhile the orange andblack quintet were com-paratively fresh. P.H.S.was scheduled to meetCumberland this morningin a consolation game butCumberland forfeited.“The boys will start

home this evening. Theyhave had a pleasant timeon the trip and only aredisappointed in havinglost their game withStivers.”Back home they met

Middletown.“Piqua High squared

her score with Middle-town High Friday eveningby defeating them by a 38-

20 score. This is quite abit more emphatic thanthe 29-26 earlier win overPiqua.“The red and blue

showed the crowd some ofthe real stuff – some of thered hot pep last night.The boys had their mindsset on winning and evenmatters with the onlyteam that has beatenthem in a High schoolcompetition this season. Alarge crowd saw the game.“The capacity of the

P.H.S. gym was overtaxed,so strong has been the in-terest in the indoor gameamong P.H.S. studentsthis winter that the capac-ity of the gym has beenovertaxed at many games.“To seat the crowd it is

necessary to encroachupon the playing floorspace. Consequentlythere is a growing desirefor a larger floor and hallfor the game.”Piqua traveled to

Greenville to take on theWave the following week.“Piqua High added an-

other game to her recordof victories Friday night,defeating Greenville Highby a 49-14 score. The trickwas turned on the homefloor of the G.H.S. boys.“The defeat of

Greenville is just like

telling an old story in abrand new way.“The result was the

same but the details andthe embellishment werejust a little bit different.“The game was called

promptly at 7 o’clock inthe Greenville armory.Play was started early sothe Piqua team could fin-ish the game in time topermit them to catch the9:36 R.R. train for home.”The season finale

against Troy was calledoff.“The basket ball game

between the Piqua andTroy five scheduled forFriday evening on theP.H.S. gym floor has beencancelled.“The action calling the

game off was taken by theTrojans. An outbreak ofscarlet fever in Troy hascaused the board of healthto order the closing of theschools in advance of theregular time for the springvacation.“The action taken by

the Trojans was promptedby a purpose to conform tothe spirit of the order ofthe board of healthagainst school pupils as-sembling.“The cancellation of the

game is a disappointmentto the P.H.S. quintet and

their local following. Theyhad been calculating upona final victory over theTrojans to round out theirschedule.”After the season the

team was invited to a boxparty.“Manager Harry W.

Kress has very courte-ously invited the membersof the P.H.S. basket ballsquad to be his guests at abox party at the ‘LilacDomino’ on Wednesdayevening at May’s operahouse.“This is the second time

Manager Kress has ex-tended this courtesy to theHigh school boys. Last fallat the close of the footballseason the members of theeleven were his guests ona similar occasion.“Mr. Kress is apprecia-

tive of what the Highschool athletes have donefor Piqua and takes pleas-ure in having the boys ashis guests upon such occa-sions.”

HistoryContinued from page 16

FARMINGDALE, N.Y.(AP) — Padraig Harring-ton found a way to takesome of the attentionaway from Tiger Woodsand Rory McIlroy onThursday. He made sixbirdies on the tough backnine of Bethpage Blackand opened the FedEx

Cup playoffs with a 7-under 64 for a one-shotlead at The Barclays.And that surely got the

attention of Ryder Cupcaptain Jose Maria Olaza-bal.Harrington has to rely

on a captain's pick tomake his seventh straightEuropean team, and thatlooks to be unlikely. Notonly has the three-time

major champion gone fouryears without winningagainst a strong field, heand Olazabal are not thebest of friends after a dis-pute at the Seve Trophyfrom nine years ago.Harrington came to life

on the back nine with fourstraight birdies to cap offhis 64, giving him a one-shot lead over Nick Wat-ney and Brian Harman

among the early starters.The hotter it became, thecrustier the greens were,and it was unlikely any-one would catch him. Noone did.Sergio Garcia was part

of the group at 66, whiledefending championDustin Johnson andRickie Fowler, both tryingto make their own impres-sion as potential picks by

U.S. captain Davis LoveIII, were in the group at67.There were 73 players

from the 123-man field atpar or better, not the kindof scoring associated withBethpage Black.Thousands of fans

chased after Woods andMcIlroy, who were in themarquee group.Both of them got off to a

reasonable start. Woodsscrambled nicely to re-cover from a few errantshots and scratched out a68.McIlroy smashed one

driver after another to setup short irons into thegreens, and while he hadthree birdies through sixholes, he let the good startget away from him andsettled for a 69.

GIRLS SOCCERBig ‘W’ for EastSPRINGFIELD — It

may only be the secondgame of the season, butthe Lady Vikings’ 2-1 winover NorthwesternWednesday night hasbeen a long time coming.“I have all of our stat

books dating back to 1998and in that time, we havenot beaten Northwestern,”Miami East coach EmalieCarson said.In addition, the Vikings

have not scored on theWarriors since 2001 whenthey tied 2-2.And East was able to

equal that mark in athrilling win.The majority of the first

half was played in themiddle of the field withonly even shots beingtaken in the 40 minutes.The second half looked

to start off the same.With a little over 20

minutes left, East startedputting more consistentpressure on goal.At 21:30, their opportu-

nity came. Emily Holickisent a ball to the far post.Northwestern’s keepermade a play on the ball,but misjudged it and itfeel behind her.Katrina Sutherly was

making the run far postfor East, and neverstopped on the play. Shewas able to push it in theopen net to give theVikings a 1-0 lead. Fourminutes later, the War-riors were able to sneak aball in behind the Vikings’back line.Maddie Linn came out

of the goal for East andcame up with a big save tokeep the game from tyingup.“That was a huge play

by Maddie,” Carson said.

“It could have been a mo-mentum shift for North-western, but she put herbody on the line and madea big stop.”With eight minutes left

to play, East was able toget the insurance goal.A long ball was sent to

the far side of the box.Lindsey Roeth tracked

it down and dropped itback to a pressing KendraBeckman.Beckman kept it low

and aimed for the nearpost.A deflection off a North-

western defender sent theball far post and awayfrom the already divingkeeper.At the five-minute

mark, Northwestern wasable to get one on a headeroff a corner kick, but itwas not enough. And theVikings sealed a 2-1 vic-tory.“I was really proud of

the effort and the compo-sure we had tonight,” Car-son said. “Northwestern isa very good team and avery physical team.“This was a huge win

for us. Defensively, wewere excellent. Limitedtheir chances, and theshots we did give up werenot quality shots on goal.“Kendra Beckman had

a big game in the middle,was all over the field andleft it all out there. Our in-tensity level was hightonight and that is some-thing we need to con-tinue.”East, 2-0, will playWest

Liberty-Salem at Colum-bus Crew Stadium on Sat-urday.
