PIQUA — LindaGrimes, facilitator of theYWCA Racial JusticeReading Circle, an-nounced that A PrincessFound: An AmericanFamily, an African Chief-dom, and the DaughterWho Connected Them Allwill be the book topic forthe Oct. 11 Reading Cir-cle discussion group. Thebook is available forcheck out from theYWCA. The group discus-sion begins at 7 p.m. andis open to the public.Membership is not re-quired for this free pro-gram.Sarah Culberson, au-

thor of the biographicalbook, tells the story of howshe was adopted one yearafter her birth by a loving,white, West Virginian cou-ple and was raised in theUnited States with littleknowledge of her ancestry.Culberson was a biracialchild and experiencedwarmth, stability and per-sonal fulfillment whilegrowing up, but had ques-tions about her biologicalroots.In 2004, Culberson

hired a private investiga-tor to track down her bio-logical father. Shediscovers her father is notjust alive and living in

Africa, but that he is partof African royalty, a rulingMende family in SierraLeone and she is consid-ered a mahaloi, the childof a Paramount Chief,with the status like aprincess.Her memoir is told

through two narrativestaken up in alternatingchapters: one details Cul-berson’s story of growingup, going off to college,and ultimately establish-ing a life for herself in thearts; the other recountsher father’s incrediblestory of falling in love withCulberson’s Americanmother, his struggle tokeep his family alive dur-ing Sierra Leon’s brutalcivil war, and the remark-able reunion of father anddaughter.What followed was an

unforgettably emotional

journey of discovery ofherself, a father she neverknew, and the spirit of awar-torn nation. APrincess Found is a pow-erful, intimate revelationof her quest across theworld to learn of the chief-dom she could one day callher own.For more information or

dured years of review and taken the necessary steps toconserve cash and protect jobs. The company has evengone the extra mile to secure additional private invest-ment to reduce taxpayer exposure, but the Department ofEnergy still has yet to act.In March 2009, while USEC waited to hear word of

whether the project wouldget a loan guarantee, the De-partment of Energy signedover a $535 million loan toSolyndra which would laterbe reported as made beforefinal marketing and legal re-views were in. In the monthsfollowing, administration of-ficials and the presidentmade their way to Solyndrato congratulate and applaudtheir work while USEC con-tinued to be delayed for fur-ther review for acceptance into the program.In October 2010, the Department of Energy conceded

that Solyndra had a ‘cash flow crisis,’ and then a littleunder a year later, Solyndra shut its doors, fired morethan 1,100 workers, and filed for Chapter 11. Now thePiketon project is at risk of being shut down, leaving hun-dreds of jobs in limbo, and the Solyndra controversy hasraised serious questions about the Obama Administra-tion’s handling of taxpayer dollars. In that case, it wasthe government that seemingly went the extra mile, notthe company.In stark contrast to the ‘stimulus’-centric Solyndra

saga, the Piketon project offers the chance to bring thou-sands of good-paying, long-term jobs to an area sufferingfrom the Buckeye State’s highest jobless rate. But sadly,on September 30, 2011, USEC announced it would beforced to reduce spending on the Piketon project by 30percent, and sent out notices to 450 employees who mayhave to be laid off.I agree with the sentiment that Sen. Rob Portman ex-

pressed with the Department of Energy’s inaction: ‘Itshould not have come to this.These workers have waitedlong enough. I hope that the ObamaAdministration willrealize the impact demobilization will have on SouthernOhio and on our national security and energy securityneeds and find a path to move forward with a conditionalcommitment as soon as possible.’The Obama Administration still has time to do the

right thing, but not much.Without action soon,USEC an-nounced today, it has no choice but to plan on hundredsof layoffs, suspend contracts, and move to shut down theproject. That doesn’t have to happen.I implore the president, on behalf of all Ohioans, to

keep his word.Boehner represents Ohio’s 8th District, which includes

To the Editor:On Nov. 8, Piqua has a unique oppor-

tunity to replace obsolete school build-ings with the state of Ohio contributing47 percent of the funds for the project.Piqua has been on the waiting list forOhio School Facilities Commission as-sistance for over a decade as neighbor-ing districts built new schools. We mustapprove this levy to fund our matchingshare of the project now or we will befunding the entire project in the near fu-ture. This is our only chance to get ourshare of these state funds.Several of Piqua’s elementary and in-

termediate schools are over 80 years oldand in need of major repairs. It will cost

more to renovate these outdated build-ings than it will to fund new construc-tion at this time when state assistanceis being offered. The new buildings willsignificantly lower the districts annualmaintenance and repair costs.As an added benefit to the city of

Piqua, the former hospital site will betransformed to become the location of anew intermediate school.We urge the citizens of Piqua to sup-

port this fiscally-conservative plan tobuild the schools our children and com-munity need. Vote for the Piqua CitySchool levies Nov. 8.

To the Editor:As a youngster growing

up in Piqua, I was af-forded the best of bothworlds. I received an ex-emplary education duringmy first eight years at St.Mary Catholic School and,later, at both Wilder Jun-ior High School and PiquaCentral High Schoolwhere I was graduated in1964.I have many pleasant

memories of my juniorand senior high school ex-periences. Excellent fac-ulty members such asRobert “Pop” Richardson,Gustav Wincent, NellieOtte, Wendell Carter, JimHardman and Forest T.Groves peaked my inter-est in academics.. Equallyas memorable was JohnDavis who conducted var-sity choir and all-schoolmusicals such as “My FairLady” and “The Sound ofMusic.” It was duringthose years at Piqua Cen-tral when my mother,Lorma (Soerhoff) Lange(‘36), encouraged me towrite articles for PHS’sliterary magazine. Hermotivation coupled withan adviser’s enthusiasmled to my lifelong career injournalism.We can all reflect on

what impact Piqua CitySchools had on our up-bringing. I was blessedwith a quality educationin both parochial and pub-lic schools. I am hopefulthat our city’s residentswill vote affirmatively forthe November bond issueand pay it forward for fu-ture generations who de-serve the sameopportunities that we, asbaby boomers, experi-enced during our child-hood.Please vote “yes” on the

November ballot.We havean excellent opportunityto receive 47 percent ofconstruction costs forthree new buildings fromthe state of Ohio. Unfortu-nately these monies maynot be made availableagain and the total bur-den of costs will ulti-mately fall on thetaxpayers in years tocome.For less than the cost of

one pizza per month, wecan make a difference andprovide our community’schildren with the educa-tion — and memories —they deserve.

To the Editor:Having been born, raised and a ’92

attend High Street School. With the re-cent approval by the Ohio School Facili-ties Commission to provide 47 percent ofthe entire construction cost of three newschool buildings and the demolition ofthose older high maintenance facilities,Piqua needs to act now.We feel the timeis now to build new school facilities thatprovide the infrastructure necessary toteach our children with the most mod-ernized educational tools for the 21stcentury.For years, Piqua has sat by watching

most other surrounding communities

build modernized, energy efficient andtechnology rich facilities while takingadvantage of state tax reimbursements.Why sit on the side lines any longer?Wehave a fiscally responsible administra-tion, dedicated teachers and childreneager to learn. The time is now to investin Piqua’s future, the time is now to pro-vide the technological tools required en-abling our children to excel in theclassroom and beyond; the time is nowto end the ever increasing costs to main-tain the existing older school facilities.Are you willing to pass up $25 million instate tax reimbursements? The moneyfrom the state will not be available muchlonger. If we wait, we may very well seeourselves paying 100 percent of the dem-olition and construction costs.Please join us in voting on Nov. 8 for

the school bond levy.—Jim and Melanie Sever

Parents say time to act is now

To the Editor:Recently, I learned that the state of

Ohio conducted a study on how much itwill cost the (Piqua) district to keep itsexisting elementary schools. The esti-mated cost to the district to consolidatethe current elementary buildings intofive buildings and to renovate these fivebuildings to meet our current needs willbe almost $35,000,000.If the levy is successful, and the district

is able to build new buildings, the cost tothe district will be $29,000,000. In addi-tion, it is estimated that the district willsave approximately $60,000 per year forutilities. I understand that nobody wants

to pay new taxes. I also understand thatthe economy is not the best and manypeople are struggling. However, with thestate paying approximately $26,000,000of the elementary school project and withthe current low interest rates available,there is probably not a better time tobuild the new schools.Some may say, just use the old ele-

mentary schools. They will work fine.Look at the numbers, if we don’t buildnew, we may pay substantially morelater. Please support the passage of theschool levy.

To the Editor:I have been retired from the Piqua

City Schools for 20 years and I workedin the maintenance department for 23years and I can assure you that we hadplenty of problems trying to keep upwith the repairs to the various buildingsand their heating systems.

I would encourage you to vote for thebond issue to build three new schools toreplace these older and outdated build-ings and give the youth of our city a realchance at a better education.

Over the long haul, de-fenders who play me-chanically will not donearly as well as thosewho play thoughtfully.Today’s deal from a dupli-cate game provides a casein point.The deal was played at

eight tables, and at everytable the final contractwas four spades by South,against which West ledthe queen of hearts. Atseven of the tables, de-clarer made 10 tricks —five spades, two heartsand three clubs. Sinceseven declarers achievedthis result, and since 10tricks seem to be there for

the taking, this wouldseem to be the normaloutcome. But it shouldn’tbe, as demonstrated bywhat happened at theeighth table.First, let’s see how the

play went at the other ta-bles. South won the heartlead with the ace, cashedthe A-K of spades and leda spade to the jack. De-clarer then tried a club fi-nesse, losing the queen toEast’s king.At this point, the de-

fense varied. Some Eastsshifted to a diamond, andafter the defenders col-lected two diamonds, de-clarer had the rest,eventually discarding theheart six on dummy’snine of clubs. At the ta-bles where East returned

a heart, declarer similarlyfinished with 10 tricks.At the table where the

contract failed, Eastfound a way to give Southa chance to go wrong, andit made all the difference.Here, when declarer led aclub to the jack at trickfive, East did not take theking.South naturally as-

sumed (there was, ofcourse, no way of telling)thatWest had the king, inwhich case repeating thefinesse was necessary andmight even yield an over-

trick. So declarer crossedto his hand with the heartking and led a club to thequeen. This time Eastwon, and the defendersquickly cashed a heartand two diamonds to setthe contract.East’s refusal to win

the first club is a playthat has much to gainand little to lose. All ittakes is a bit of thoughtand a natural reluctanceto play mechanically.

Tomorrow: A case oftiming.

DEAR ABBY: I met myhusband, “Jerome,” twoyears ago. During ourcourtship, he helped me tofind faith. Because of that,I wanted a completelyhonest relationship withhim and confessed to a“less than moral” experi-ence that occurred severalyears before I met him.Apparently he was able toaccept it, because he pro-posed and we have beenmarried for severalmonths.Recently, however,

Jerome has been sayingit’s bothering him and hedoesn’t know how to let itgo. I’m angry and hurtthat something that hap-pened long ago is nowcausing problems in mymarriage. It has made mequestion why I was honestwith him.I’m afraid Jerome will

never forgive me. He sayshe feels as though he hasto compete with my pastand doesn’t feel he canlive up to it. How do Itackle this problem? Ican’t change my past, Ican’t take back what I toldhim, and I can’t do any-thing to change my hus-band. Please help.

— HAUNTED BYTHE PAST

DEAR HAUNTED:First, stop apologizing.You are the sum total ofall your experiences, andthat’s the woman he mar-ried. Tell your husbandyou will not accept any-thing less than marriagecounseling NOW. Heknows about your “experi-ence” because you leveledwith him. Make it clearthat this isn’t a contest,and he’s all you want in aman. If he can’t accept it,there is no basis for a mar-riage, and frankly, littlehope for a future together.

DEAR ABBY: I havebeen invited to a wedding.The invitation includedexplicit instructions onwhat is appropriate attire.Ladies are “not to wearanything tight or reveal-ing, or that doesn’t coverchest, back, knees andshoulders.” One of myfriends said she wouldn’tgo to such a wedding. An-other said, “I don’t ownanything that meets theirdress code.”We are all three mature

women who have alwaysdressed conservatively.What’s your take on this?Am I right to feel in-sulted?

— CLOTHING-CHALLENGED IN

OREGON

DEAR CLOTHING-CHALLENGED: Notnecessarily. It’s possiblethat the house of worshipwhere the wedding willbe held — as well as thefamilies involved — maybe conservative or ortho-dox, which is why thewomen are being asked tocover themselves. If youfeel the dress code is toomuch of an imposition,you should politely de-cline the invitation.

DEAR ABBY: Mygranddaughter, who is 18,had a child last year. Shekept the baby anddropped out of school. Sheis now working and hasreturned to school to gether GED. My husbandhas always loved her andhelps her financially.My problem is she has

twice stolen from a fund Ikeep for our church. Al-though she is the only onewho could have done it,my husband refuses tobelieve it. I now insist onlocking everything up.Abby, if she had asked

for the money either time,her grandfather wouldhave given it to her. Ithink she gets an adrena-line rush from stealing.What can I do about this?

— AT A LOSS INSOUTH CAROLINA

DEAR AT A LOSS:Where are your grand-daughter’s parents? Arethey aware of what hasbeen going on? If not,please inform them be-cause if she’s stealingfrom you for the adrena-line rush, she is probablyalso doing it elsewhere.Someone needs to seethat the girl receivescounseling before her be-havior lands her in seri-ous trouble. And in themeantime, she should notbe left alone in yourhome.

UUNNIIVVEERRSSAALLSSuuddookkuu PPuuzzzzllee

BY NEKESA MUMBIMOODYAssociated Press

NEW YORK — As Feistcelebrated her 35th birth-day earlier this year withan intimate dinner amongfriends, she was momen-tarily distracted by the in-tense flickering of atelevision in a nearbyroom.The images were

bizarre motorbikes on astage accompanied by py-rotechnics and music.Whatever it was seemedoutlandish and jarring.What, she wondered, couldbe the spectacle?It wasn’t until she got

closer to the televisionthat the frenetic, choreo-graphed commotion madesense. It was the telecastof the Grammy Awards.Only three years earlier,she was part of that scene,performing “1234,” thesong that would make theformer indie artist a globalsensation in a differentout-of-context perform-ance.Now, watching the

awards, the images shesaw confirmed how sur-real that experience hadbeen and how she justdoesn’t fit into that poppy,musical world.“The Grammys, and the

magnitude of that spot-light, it wasn’t a placewhere I felt at home. Likewhat I do doesn’t reallyhappen there,” Feist saidduring a recent interviewas she sat on a quiet patioat her downtown Manhat-tan hotel. “It’s such a po-tent and brief moment,and it doesn’t really speakto the truth of what tour-ing and being a musicianis. It’s mostly fanfare, in-flated and very intense. Iwasn’t feeling very com-fortable in that kind of set-ting.”Now that Feist is releas-

ing “Metals,” the follow-

up to her breakthrough,heralded 2007 album,“The Reminder,” she’s backin her comfort zone. Herfourth album has a darkertone, but still has that oth-erworldly, mystical qualitythat has made her one ofmusic’s more originalvoices.“It’s just heading into a

much more personal andbold and more uncompro-mising direction, takingall kinds of risks, which Irespect,” says her longtimecollaborator Chilly Gonza-les, one of the album’s pro-ducers and songwriters.He compares her newalbum to territory occu-pied by Kate Bush and PJHarvey ambitious, daring,but most important, a newdirection from “The Re-minder” era.“She’s in a great posi-

tion to push,” he added. “Iwish more people would bemore like her … takethose moments when theyhave those brief little mo-ments and say, ‘Let’s notreplicate that.’”It would have been

tempting to try. While theCanadian singer alreadyhad a name and criticalacclaim, it wasn’t until shedecided to let Apple use aclip of her video for thewhimsical “1234” for aniPod Nano commercialthat the mainstream pub-

lic became fascinated withFeist. The clip, which fea-tured dancers in brightlycolored outfits, swayingwith a sparkly dressedFeist as if it were a scenefrom a Broadway musical,entranced millions. From“The Colbert Report” to“Sesame Street,” Feist andher video made therounds, and the song be-came a pop hit.Looking back, Feist isn’t

sure she would agree to lether video be used in such acommercial way.“When I made that deci-

sion, I was in a really dif-ferent place and I reallydidn’t know; like, no onecould imagine that wouldhappen. It was incrediblein a lot of ways as well, butit’s put me in circum-stances now where Iwouldn’t necessarily feelthat that is somethingthat could be helpful,” shesaid. “I landed somewheredifferent than I started, sonow I would have very dif-ferent perspectives on allof that, for sure.”When the whirlwind

was over, Feist had hit awall. Including her tourfor “The Reminder,” shehad been on the road forseven years, with almostno time to sit and contem-plate new material, orspend time with familyand friends. So she re-

treated, taking about twoyears off though she col-laborated with friends likeBroken Social Scene andput together a documen-tary of the experience of“The Reminder,” lastyear’s “Look at What theLight Did Now.”“It’s so funny, I almost

don’t even remember hav-ing time off,” she said,laughing. “I didn’t do any-thing specific except not goto a different town everynight. I just did everythingyou can’t do while you’removing. I planted a littlegarden and I adoptedsome dogs. I got a place inthe country and just likehung out in the woods alot. … It took about a yearand a half of just floatingbefore I got interested inreframing things, which isultimately what songwrit-ing is.”Musician Mocky, an-

other longtime collabora-tor who worked on both“The Reminder” and “Met-als,” said he was gratifiedthat his old friend re-mained intact, personallyand professionally, afterthe whirlwind that be-came “The Reminder.”“She’s still the same

amazing musician, amaz-ing performer,” saidMocky, who is a producerand songwriter on “Met-als.”

It is a cold 40-degree Mondaymorning. Yesterday morning itwas even colder and it frosted ina lot of places. This will proba-bly put the garden season for2011 to an end. My back porchhas red beets and peppers wait-ing to be canned.Friday we went to get apples

and grapes at the local U-Pickfarm. A lady in our church of-fered me use of her steamer tomake the grape juice. I can nowsee how much easier it is tosteam the grapes and can theconcentrate, rather than use themethod I had used before. Weput two bushels of grapes intojuice on Saturday using thesteamer. I hope to get me asteamer before the next growingseason.Husband Joe went back to

work after a week at home dueto not having work at the fac-tory. Last week was a very rainyweek so he didn’t get the gardentilled yet, since it was too wet.He did get a lot of other odd andend jobs done around the house.The week being rainy it wasvery difficult to get the laundrydried.We hung as much of it on

our porch as we could. We don’thave our stove going yet so nothaving heat yet in the houseclothes didn‘t dry very fast.Even on the porch the clothesdid not dry well due to thedampness from the rain. We fi-nally managed to get everythingdry by Friday after we hadwashed everything on Tuesday.Saturday was cold but sunny

and breezy so we took advan-tage of the weather. We didlaundry again and took all thebed sheets. Every week the bedsheets from six beds can make ahuge laundry. It is now 8 a.m.and the sun is shining bright.We will do laundry again todaytaking advantage of theweather. It doesn’t take long for

dirty laundry to accumulatewith 10 people in the family.Yesterday Jacob, Emma, and

family and Elizabeth’s friendwere our dinner guests. On themenu was meatloaf, mashed po-tatoes, gravy, dressing, corn,mixed vegetables, macaronisalad, pasta salad, sliced cheese,sliced tomatoes, green peppers,and sweet onions. Also straw-berry cheesecake, peach cobbler,peanut butter pie, and water-melon. The watermelon was outof Jacob’s garden. The peachcobbler daughter Susan madewith peaches we put in thefreezer.Our neighbor lady gave me

the peaches and also gave methe idea of freezer peaches toput in pies and desserts.We hadplenty of leftovers for suppertonight. The children enjoyedtaking pony rides with Stormywhile their cousins were visit-ing. Meanwhile, the girls wentover to our friend Amy’s houseto see the newest addition totheir family, a daughter, EmilyElizabeth. We used to help herout with her other children. Hertwins Joshua and Jacob, 7,

would always come here afterschool while they were inkindergarten. Her son Matthewwe kept here for a few monthsalso while Amy worked. It did-n’t take us long to really get at-tached to the children. Lovinaand Kevin always enjoyed theirplaymates when they were here.Now time has passed so quicklyand they are all in school fulltime.Yesterday afternoon we had

surprise visitors from Ohio.They were Joe’s Uncle SolomonEicher, another uncle, Jacob andMary Eicher, and three of theirgrandchildren, Susan, Norman,and Ben Eicher. Ben has a spe-cial friend in this community.We were glad they stopped infor a visit.We have three bushels of ap-

ples on hand which the childrenenjoy eating for after schoolsnacks. We are also enjoyingfresh cider right now. With allthe apples we have on hand, weare trying many new recipes.For instance, try this delicious,fresh apple cake:

FOR THE DAILY CALL

TROY — Behavioralhealth professionals sta-tioned 24-7 in the UpperValley Medical CenterEmergency Departmentare working to ensurethose with mental healthneeds are handled appro-priately and efficiently.The transition of behav-

ioral health assessmentsat UVMC from the formerCrisis Center on campusto the Emergency Depart-ment (ED) began thissummer and has gonesmoothly, said MindySchultz, LISW-S,managerof Behavioral HealthEmergency and Admis-sions.The change was

sparked by the Tri-CountyBoard of Recovery andMental Health Services’decision to redirect dollarspreviously used to con-tract with UVMC for Cri-

sis Center and 24-HourHotline services. Thoseservices now are handledby the Miami County Re-covery Council using a 24-hour Crisis Hotline and amobile crisis team to re-spond to mental healthcalls from local law en-forcement facilities, jailsand Emergency Depart-ments.UVMC continues to pro-

vide behavioral heath in-patient services andadmissions by a team ofbehavioral health thera-pists and technicians. Theteam members who noware based in the ED serveas a “gatekeeper” for thosewho come to the ED inneed of behavioral healthrelated services.The Behavioral Health

Emergency and Admis-sions team also screenspatients on the inpatientunits and works to admitanyone needing inpatient

behavioral health servicesto the Behavioral HealthCenter. The Tri-Countymobile team can be calledto support the BehavioralTeam in the ED, if needed.“It makes sense that we

would be in the emergencyroom,” Schultz said of thebehavioral health team.The community was fortu-nate to have a separate lo-cation to serve behavioralhealth crisis for years, butchanges in providingemergency health care forthe community are form-ing more of an integratedsystem to serve those pa-tients, she said.The ED staff is no

stranger to behavioralhealth patients who theytreated for any medical is-sues when patients cameto the ED by squad or pri-vate vehicle and thenwere transported to theinpatient behavioralhealth unit, if needed.

As part of the transi-tion, two “safe rooms”equipped according tostate requirements wereadded in the ED for thosewho arrive with an initialcomplaint of a behavioralhealth nature.“We have a team ap-

proach from the nursingstaff and the physicianswhere we all communicateeffectively for the bestcare for the patient,”Schultz said. “This waythe patient is getting good,quality care by having allservices efficiently in thesame setting.”The behavioral health

team members also willsupport ED staff needs, ifthere are no patients withmental health issues to beaddressed. Team mem-bers can assist by sup-porting family members if

a traumatic situation isoccurring or help withsupporting patients andfamily members to en-hance the patient experi-

ence, especially duringbusy times.For more information

on the program, contactSchultz at 440-7631.

NEW YORK — A heli-copter with five peopleaboard crashed into theEast River on Tuesday af-ternoon after taking offfrom a launch pad on theriverbank, killing one pas-senger and injuring threeothers.NewYork Police Depart-

ment divers pulled the vic-tim, a woman, from about50 feet of water about anhour after the Bell 206 hel-icopter went down around3 p.m. She was pronounceddead at the scene.Emergency crews ar-

rived to find the chopperinverted in the murkywater with just its skidsshowing on the surface.The pilot, Paul Dudley, andthree passengers were bob-bing in the chilly water,and it looked as though a

man was diving down andcoming back up, possibly inan attempt to rescue theremaining passenger, wit-nesses said.Officers jumped in and

pulled out two women and

a man, police spokesmanPaul Browne said. Thewomenwere in critical con-dition, and the man wasstable. All were hospital-ized. The pilot swam to theriverbank, remained at the

scene and was uninjured.Two of the passengers

were believed to be Britishliving in Portugal, and theother two lived in Aus-tralia, Mayor MichaelBloomberg said.

The private chopperwent into the river off 34thStreet inmidtownManhat-tan, a few blocks south ofthe United Nations head-quarters. It’s unclear whathappened, but witnesses

reported it was sputteringand appeared to be in sometype of mechanical dis-tress.Joseph Belez was watch-

ing helicopters from aboardwalk.“It was going up, and

then all of a sudden it justspun itself and went downto the water,” he said. “Iwas just watching it takeoff, and it was just all of asudden spinning. It justwent down. It was a shock.It really was.”A massive rescue effort

was under waywithinmin-utes of the crash, with adozen boats and diversdown into the cold, greywater searching for thefifth passenger.Britain’s Foreign Office

said it was investigatingreports the passengerswere British.Joy Garnett and her

husband were on the dockwaiting to take the EastRiver ferry to Brooklynwhen they heard theblades of a helicopter andsaw it start to take off fromthe nearby helipad. Shesaid she saw it do “a funnycurlicue.”

SEATTLE (AP) —Amanda Knox returned toher hometown of Seattleon Tuesday and was asovercome with emotion asshe was a day earlier inItaly, when she was ac-quitted on murdercharges after four years inprison. “Thank you forbeing there for me,” shetearfully told her support-ers in front of a crowd ofreporters from two conti-nents.“I’m really over-

whelmed right now,” shesaid at a news conferenceminutes after she was es-corted off a British Air-ways (NYSE:BAB) flightout of London. “I waslooking down from theairplane, and it seemedlike everything wasn’treal.”Knox’s life turned

around dramatically Mon-day when an Italian ap-peals court threw out herconviction in the sexualassault and fatal stabbingof her British roommate.On Tuesday a courtroom

picture of Knox cryingafter the verdict was readappeared on the frontpages of newspapers inItaly, the U.S., Britain andaround the world.After arriving at the

Seattle-Tacoma Interna-tional Airport, Knoxsobbed at the news con-ference and held hermother’s hand as herlawyer Theodore Simonsaid her acquittal “unmis-takably announced to theworld” that she was notresponsible for the killingof Meredith Kercher.After her parents of-

fered their thanks toKnox’s lawyers and sup-porters, Knox spokebriefly, saying, “They’rereminding me to speak inEnglish, because I’m hav-ing problems with that.”“Thank you to everyone

who’s believed in me, whohas defended me, who hassupported my family,” shesaid. “My family’s themost important thing tome so I just want to bewith them.”

COLUMBUS (AP) —Drug dealers aroundOhio are developing newsources for prescriptionpainkillers by buyingthem from senior citi-zens, sometimes as thepatients leave pharma-cies, according to a newstate report that showsOhio’s prescriptionpainkiller epidemic iscontinuing and in somecases may be gettingworse.The report being re-

leased this week by theOhio Substance AbuseMonitoring Network alsoblames an increase inheroin use on addictsswitching from prescrip-tion painkillers, whichare more expensive andharder to obtain.“Once people get to a

certain point in their ad-diction and they can no

longer afford to purchaseprescription opiates,they almost invariablymove to heroin,” saidOrman Hall, director ofthe Ohio Department ofAlcohol and Drug Addic-tion Services. “The vastmajority of people whoare using heroin werepreviously addicted toopiates.”The monitoring net-

work typically releasesits findings about everysix months relying ondata provided by every-one from substanceabuse counselors to ad-dicts in recovery.The network cites re-

ports from Dayton,Youngstown and Toledoof drug dealers buyingpainkillers from seniorswho often need themoney to make endsmeet.

COLUMBUS (AP) —TheOhio Senate’s Republi-can leader says he’s askinga group of state lawmakersto review legal questionsrelated to a bill that wouldban abortions at the firstdetectable fetal heartbeat.President Tom Niehaus

(NEE’-hows) said Tuesdayhe wants the group to vetany legal issues and report

back to him in November.The measure called the

“heartbeat bill” passed theOhio House in June, buthas stalled in the Senate.Ohio Right to Life has

taken issue with the bill,fearing a legal challengecould jeopardize otherabortion limits in Ohio andexpand access to legalabortions.

You don’t have to do anything ex-hausting; merely walking the dogcould help a lot.SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) —Timingis always important, so you shouldpace yourself well when it comes tohandling matters that depend uponthe work of others. Only then can youbring all your forces into play.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) —You’ll operate best when you’re ableto just coast along, until you’re re-quired to bring the full brunt of yourimagination and ingenuity to bear.Timing can be everything.CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Ifyou’re splitting responsibilities withyour spouse, make sure you get fi-nances on your side of the ledger.Yourideas on getting fiscal are likely to bemuch more resourceful and clever.AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) —There could be a mystique about youthat will fascinate almost everyoneyou deal with. This appeal makes iteasier to gain the acceptance of oth-ers.PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Al-though it was never your intention tomake others feel indebted to you,someone you recently did a favor forwants to reciprocate your kindness.Be a gracious receiver.ARIES (March 21-April 19) — You’refull of bright ideas to begin with, butyou might have far more than usual.Unless you jot them down the mo-ment you conceive them, they’ll van-ish into the ether.TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Theonly way you are likely to get any-thing done is to zero in on your objec-tives. If you don’t, your head couldwander all over the place, causing youto easily get sidetracked.GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Yourability to absorb and retain newknowledge is remarkable, especially ifyou’re passing it on to those who needit but don’t have the means to get it.CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Forgood reason, people trust you and feelthat it’s safe to tell you things thatthey wouldn’t tell others. This shouldmake you proud, and inspire you tolive up to their estimation of you.LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Instead ofseeing only the faults or weaknessesin the ideas of others, look for what isgood and praiseworthy. You’ll beamazed at how fast you’ll gain others’support when you do so.VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — The se-cret of gaining a few strides on yourrivals is to put their needs on parwith your own requirements.

will all be playing in thedistrict tournament nextThursday at the ATP Ten-nis Center in Mason.And Julia Harrelson

and MacKenzie Brown insingles and the doublesteam of Victoria King andKerrie Josefovsky all hadgood showings as well.“Everybody played re-

ally well,” Lehman coachPippy Booth said.The Larger-Sargeant

duo upped their record to22-0 on the season, whiledropping just one game inadvancing to Friday’ssemifinals.After a first-round bye,

they defeated a doublesteam from Greenville 6-0,6-1 and followed that witha 6-0, 6-0 win over a

understands there are big-ger matches ahead for thetop seeds.“We had fun today, but

there were some goodpoint,” she said. “We knowwe are going to have sometougher matcher Friday.”Which will lead to the

loss to Trotwood andfind themselves in a must-win situation — some-thing they haven’t donesince 2006.“We definitely don’t

want to finish withoutbeating Troy, that’s forsure,” receiver Trae Hon-eycutt said. “I don’t wantto be 0-3 against them.”Tight end/defensive end

Jordan Feeser said youcould go as far as to sayPiqua’s season is at stake.“If we can beat Troy,

that would definitely bebig with (getting to) theplayoffs,” he said. “Itwould get us a lot ofpoints. We know we haveto win — and the seniorsdon’t want to be 0-3against Troy.”Honeycutt knew all

about the game before heever put on a Piqua uni-form.“I went to the games

(Piqua-Troy) when I was akid,” he said. “I saw howbig a game it was.There isa lot more hype aroundthis game, but you justhave to stay focused onthe game.”Piqua coach Bill Nees

said the game continues toget bigger, with it becom-ing part of the Army’s ri-valry series and playersfrom both schools beinghonored before the game.“The rivalry series is a

pretty big deal,” he said.“We are on the big posterthey put out with the highschool rivalry games andthat has just added to it. Itis something most highschool players never get toexperience.”There are events in

both cities going onthroughout the week lead-ing up to the game.“It really is something

special,” Travis Nees said.“It is great to be part ofsomething like this.”With his dad being

Piqua’s football coach,

Travis Nees has been fa-miliar with the game andthe week for a long time.In fact he has envi-

sioned all his final gameagainst Troy will play out.“We are coming off a

tough loss and it is defi-nitely a game we need towin,” he said. “We have gotto end that (losing) streakagainst Troy.“I always dreamed that

my senior year would bethe biggest game. Here weare and it is.”Nees and his team-

mates are all too familiarwith the price to pay forthe outcome not being agood one.“This is definitely for

the bragging rights of theMiami County,” he said.“You hear about it all thetime if you don’t win.”Not to mention, the tro-

phy the winner now keepsfor a year when they win.Piqua presented it to Troyin 2008 (the initial year)and hasn’t gotten it backsince.“That’s just anothe rea-

son for this being a biggame,” Feeser said. “I don’tthink we have every wonthe trophy and we want to

do that.”Bill Nees said the key is

staying focused throughall the hype.“There is a lot of stuff

going in,” he said. “The im-portant thing is staying fo-cused on the big issue —the game Friday night.”Feeser said that is not a

problem for him.“I appreciate the fact I

get to experience some-thing like this — some-thing other high schoolfootball players don’t,” hesaid. “There are a lot ofthings going on this weekand a lot of talk at theschool — but I just focusout on that, because Idon’t want to get psychedout.”Travis Nees said when

he takes the field for aTroy — the atmosphere isa little different.“I think you are a little

more excited — a littlemore jittery than normal,”he said.Feeser agreed.“That’s when I know it

is the Troy game,” he said.“The feeling I get when Itake the field.”It is a feeling most play-

ers can only dream of.

COLUMBUS (AP) —These are dark times forthe Ohio State footballprogram.On the heels of an ugly

10-7 loss at home toMichigan State, the Buck-eyes are grasping for solu-tions while battling atsunami of problems offthe field, stemming from aseries of NCAA violationsinvolving several players.And now the Buckeyes

(3-2) get to travel to Lin-coln, Neb., for the 14th-ranked Cornhuskers' firstBig Ten home game.Clearly, it doesn't get

any easier.Interim coach Luke

Fickell has heard the rum-blings. Callers to talkshows and fans online areall questioning the coach-ing staff, the players, theathletic director and thedirection of the programin the wake of two moresuspensions announced onMonday."We all don't like where

we are (in terms ofrecord)," Fickell said Tues-day at his weekly newsconference. "We all knowthere's ways we need toget better. Criticism I han-dle a lot better than I dopraise.“It just makes me mad,

it makes me work harder,it makes me do things alittle bit more. But youcan't let it affect you.You've got to continue toget better."Fickell, who replaced

Jim Tressel who wasforced out of the job in themidst of an NCAA probeinto his lying about possi-ble violations, is trying toregroup his troops. At ameeting with the playersafter the latest suspen-sions were announced onMonday, many walkedaway with their headsdown.After Saturday's loss,

center Mike Brewstercalled the defeat one of themost painful of his career.Thirty of the offense's 63plays went for no gain or aloss."It's just frustration

that you can't get any-thing going," he said ofMichigan State's plan tostack the line of scrim-mage with defenders toshut down the run anddare Ohio State to pass. "Ifelt like there were guyseverywhere in the box,which was frustrating.We've got to find out a wayto get it done."Fickell said there is no

alternative to trying toturn things around."We just have to do a

better job of figuring outwhat our guys can do andwhat our guys can handle.And we will," he said ofcriticism of offensive coor-dinator Jim Bollman andthe rest of his staff."There's going to be grow-

ing pains. It's nothing thata good offensive perform-ance or a good win won'tmake up for.“But if we sit and worry

about all the people thatcriticize us, boy, we'd stayup late at night worryingabout that instead of actu-ally doing what we need todo.We can't let that affectus."This was supposed to be

the week that the Buck-eyes got a boost from fourplayers returning fromsuspension.But athletic director

Gene Smith, at a newsconference on Monday, an-nounced that last year'sleading rusher, DanielHerron, and the team'sleading returning receiver,DeVier Posey, would stillbe held out.Before, the reason was

accepting cash and freeink from a local tattoo-parlor owner.The latest revelation

was that both had beenoverpaid for summer jobsfrom a Cleveland-areabooster who has beenbanned from contact withthe program.So the Buckeyes are in

a state of flux.It's an old one-liner that

has never been more apro-pos: You truly can't tell theplayers at Ohio Statewithout a scorecard.Two players — left

tackle Mike Adams anddefensive end SolomonThomas — are returningfor Nebraska after servingfive-game suspensions forinvolvement in Tat-toogate.Fickell said Tuesday

that starting defensivetackle NathanWilliams isstill not ready to play afterundergoing arthroscopicknee surgery four weeksago.He also said that start-

ing wideout Verlon Reedsustained a torn knee lig-ament on an onside kickin the waning seconds ofthe Michigan State lossand would be out for therest of the season.But he remained hope-

ful that wide receiverCorey "Philly" Brownmight be able to comeback after missing the lastfour games with a high-ankle sprain.Fickell said he empha-

sized to the team the lateUCLA coach JohnWooden's three points ofwisdom: Don't whine,don't complain and don'tmake excuses."How many times have

we said, we are going tofocus on what we have, notwhat we don't have andfocus on moving forward,"he said. "So that's whatwe have to do.“We are not going to

make excuses for guys.Weare not going to allowthem to be down."

ST. LOUIS (AP) —Charlie Manuel guessedright, twice.Tony La Russa, well, he

wound up getting second-guessed. And on his 67thbirthday.Pinch-hitter Ben Fran-

cisco and closer RyanMadson made their man-ager's moves look smart,and the PhiladelphiaPhillies held off the St.Louis Cardinals 3-2 Tues-day for a 2-1 lead in theirNL playoff series."To steal a game here, if

worse comes to worst, wecome back home andwe've got another gamewith Doc (Halladay) onthe mound," Phillies slug-ger Ryan Howard said."We put ourselves in agreat situation."Francisco batted for

Cole Hamels and brokeopen a scoreless gamewith a two-out, three-runhomer off Jaime Garcia inthe seventh inning.The Cardinals stuck

with Garcia instead of opt-ing for a pinch-hitter withtwo on and two outs in thesixth. Garcia struck out,then lost his pitchingtouch."Well, it didn't work, so

that's bad managing," LaRussa said. "I'm watchinghim pitch and was reallypleased. I thought he wasthe guy to continue pitch-ing and I knew thematchups were in ourfavor. ... It didn't work."Madson earned his first

multi-inning save of theyear. He got Allen Craig toground sharply into a dou-ble play with the basesloaded to escape in theeighth, then workedaround Yadier Molina'sRBI single in the ninth.Manuel's reasoning: "I

figured the game was onthe line, and we had tostop them."The Phillies, favored to

win it all after a franchise-record 102-win season,can finish off the wild-cardCardinals in Game 4 onWednesday, with Roy Os-walt opposing EdwinJackson.The Cardinals are all

too familiar with the win-or-else proposition. Theywon the NL wild card on

the final day of the season,erasing a 10½-gamedeficit on Aug. 25 to over-take the Braves."Listen, we flip the page

and come back ready toplay with the same energywe've been having the lastsix weeks," said Albert Pu-jols, who had four hits."We've been in this situa-tion before."Francisco's shot on a 1-0

fastball from Garcia wasonly his second hit in 19postseason at-bats. He hitsix homers this season,the last on May 25 againstthe Reds.Francisco had been

preparing for that mo-ment against a lefty, andManuel said after thegame that he might havestuck with Francisco evenif the Cardinals hadchanged pitchers."I didn't know it was a

homer, I knew I hit itgood," Francisco said. "Isaw it bounce over thefence and just pure excite-ment, pure joy."Hamels struck out eight

in six scoreless inningsand reversed a disturbingtrend after allowing ninehomers in September,with a pair of doubles byPujols the only extra-basehits. He's a franchise-best7-4 in the postseason witha 3.09 ERA."You don't want to make

mistakes, you don't wantto leave the ball over theplate," Hamels said."Every pitch mattered,every inning mattered. I

knew I couldn't let it getout of hand."The Cardinals frus-

trated a season-highcrowd of 46,914 by strand-ing 14 runners. They set aNational League recordwith 169 double-play ballsthis season."Sometimes you're

going to get a bunch ofhits, sometimes you'regoing to get no hits withmen on base," Pujols said."I don't think Allen hit aball that hard all seasonlike he did with the basesloaded."Ryan Theriot also had

four hits for St. Louis, aheavy underdog in this se-ries. The Cardinals hadrunners in scoring posi-tion in six innings butcame up empty despitethree hits in the eighth,including a pinch-hit sin-gle by Matt Holliday inonly his second appear-ance of the series.The Cardinals' decision

to let Garcia bat with twoon and two outs in thesixth backfired in a bigway. Garcia struck out onHamels' 117th pitch andwasn't the same in theseventh.The Phillies, held to

three hits to that point,doubled that total in theseventh. Shane Victorinoled off with a single andmoved up on a passed ballbefore Carlos Ruiz was in-tentionally walked withtwo outs. Francisco, whohad been 1 for 9 againstGarcia, deposited a 1-0

fastball in the visitors'bullpen in left-center.Francisco was clutch at

the end of the year, gettingseven hits in his last 20at-bats with runners inscoring position.Lefty vs. lefty percent-

ages, even againstHoward, allowed Garcia toelude trouble until theseventh.Chase Utley singled

with two outs in the sixth,breaking a string of ninestraight batters retired byGarcia, and went to sec-ond on a wild pitch on an0-1 delivery to HunterPence.The Cardinals elected

for an intentional walk atthat point, and the movepaid off when Howard,who is 2 for 15 with ahomer and an RBI againstGarcia counting the play-offs, tapped out weakly tofirst.Garcia was at only 74

pitches through six, butneeded 26 more in the sev-enth.Hamels was up to the

task as well, striking outDavid Freese with tworunners on to end thefirst.The 2008 World Series

MVP also got Garcia on agroundout with two on toend the fourth.

NOTES: Phillies lead-off man Jimmy Rollinshad two hits and is 7 for12 (.583) in the series. ...Garcia threw first-pitchstrikes to his first 10 hit-ters. ... The Cardinalsstole three bases in thefirst four innings. They to-taled 57 in the regularseason, second-lowest inthe majors. ... PlacidoPolanco singled in theninth, ending an 0-for-29slump against St. Louis inthe postseason. He was 0for 17 with Detroit in the2006 World Series. ...Counting the postseason,Theriot is 10 for 24against Hamels. ... Pujolsand Theriot became the11th and 12th Cardinalsto get four hits in a post-season game. ... ThePhillies have five pinch-hit homers in the postsea-son, the last by MattStairs on Oct. 13, 2008, inthe NLCS at Los Angeles.

ultimate goal — of get-ting to state.“We know (from last

year) how important beinga number one seed (at dis-trict) is,” Sargeant said,referring to being upset inthe sectional finals. “It isimportant for us to win onFriday.”Larger agreed.“Getting to state is defi-

nitely the goal,” she said.“It was our goal last yearand we didn’t quite getthere. We know how im-portant being a numberone seed is.”Looming on Friday is

the possibility of amatchup with the twoseeds, Andrea Fetters andJessie Finfrock of Milton.Fetters was part of thedoubles team that upsetLehman in the sectionalfinals last year.“That would be a very

good match if it happens,”Booth said. “These girls(Kandis Sargeant, NicoleLarger) have beaten them,but anything can happen.”

� Bennett has nowpulled the “District Dou-ble” of sorts.After advancing to dis-

trict in doubles with Mor-gan Shroyer last year,Bennett is going in singlesthis year after three winsTuesday.“To be honest, I enjoy

both,” Bennett said. “I hada blast playing doubleswith Morgan (Shroyer)last year, but I also enjoyplaying singles as well.”After relatively easy

wins over Kayla Pena (Ur-bana) and Shelby Shope(Dixie) by matching 6-0, 6-1 scores, Bennett, thethird seed, faced unseededMichelle Borgerding ofGreenville in the go-to dis-

trict match.Borgerding can best be

described as a human ballreturn on the tennis court,attempting to wear oppo-nents down by consis-tently returning the ballto the middle of the court.“Very difficult to face,”

Booth said about Borgerd-ing’s style. “What tends tohappen is you start to playtheir game and theirstyle.”And while Bennett may

have had that happen afew times, she was big onthe clutch points, outlast-ing Borgerding 6-4, 6-3.“This is the match I lost

then,” Bennett said, refer-ring to two years agowhen she missed going todistrict in singles by onematch. “I was able to wintoday.”The first key moment

came late in the first set.After Borgerding had a

break to get within 5-4,Bennett finished off theset.“That was huge,” Ben-

nett said. “Especially play-ing a girl who plays thatstyle. Hats off to her. Sheis very good at what shedoes.”In the second set, Ben-

nett was leading 3-2 whenBorgerding asked for aline judge.That seemed to fuel the

Lehman senior’s fire, win-ning the next two gamesat love and holding serveat 5-3 to finish off thematch.“I think Meghan (Ben-
