Editor’s Note: This is the fifth of anintermittent series of stories about thePiqua’s role in the CivilWar and how the bloodyconflict affected the com-munity and its residents.PIQUA — Just as the

commander (Gen.William T. Sherman)under whom they laterserved would say in oneof the most famousquotes in military his-tory, soldiers who trainedat Camp Piqua in theearly stages of the CivilWar quickly learned that, indeed, “Waris Hell.”Members of the 94th Ohio Volunteer

Infantry were mustered in Aug. 24,1862, after brief training at Camp

Piqua on what is now Johnston Farm,north of Piqua. One thousand strong atthe time, local historian Jim Oda saidby the time the war was over, only 385of them remained when the unit wasmustered out in June 1865. The other

soldiers were eitherkilled, captured or seri-ously wounded, reflectingjust how heavy a toll theCivil War took, not onlyon the Union Army, alsoon the Confederate side.Under the command of

Col. Joseph Frizell, the94th Ohio Volunteer In-fantry left Piqua amidfanfare. Oda said al-though there were nosurviving newspapers

from the era, he is confident there wasa parade through the city that was wellattended by local residents who wanted

BUCKEYES12 Friday, November 11, 2011 WWW.DAILYCALL.COM • PIQUA DAILY CALL

< QUARTERBACKS >It has taken Braxton Miller only a few games to show why he was such

a highly recruited quarterback. He is a dynamic runner. But, other than his game-winning throw against Wisconsin, the Ohio State freshman has looked like a work in progress in the passing game. He has not thrown for more than 95 yards in any of his starts.

This is no longer Joe Tiller and Drew Brees’ pass-dominated offense for Purdue. The Boilermakers rank ninth in the Big Ten in passing yards. Caleb TerBush (1,386 yards passing, 10 TDs, 6 INTs) is the starter, but Robert Marve (344 yards, 3 TDs) has rotated with TerBush in some games.

Advantage: Even

< RUNNING BACKSDan Herron has run for more than 100 yards in each of

the last three games and Carlos Hyde went over 100 yards for the second time this season when Ohio State beat Indiana 34-20 last Saturday. Jordan Hall’s ankle sprain, which kept him on the sidelines last week, might still be a problem this week.

For Purdue, Ralph Bolden, who missed last season with a knee injury, and junior college transfer Akeem Shavers share the tailback position. Bolden (469 yards) and Shavers (338 yards) both average 4.6 yards per carry.

Advantage: Ohio State

RECEIVERS >Uncertainty is the rule in OSU’s receiving unit. Devin

Smith caught the winning touchdown pass against Wis-consin and then didn’t get a catch against Indiana. Tight end Jake Stoneburner caught eight passes in the first two games of the season and has only four since.

Purdue spreads the ball around in the passing game. Nine different Boilermakers caught passes in a 62-17 loss to Wisconsin last week and six players have 12 or more catches. Justin Siler (34 catches), O.J. Ross (29 catches) and Antavian Edison (26 catches) are TerBush’s favorite targets.

Advantage: Purdue< OFFENSIVE LINEMEN

Ohio State has blocked well in its running game but con-tinues to give up an uncomfortably high number of sacks. The Buckeyes have averaged 267 yards a game rushing in their last four games since being held to 35 yards on the ground by Michigan State. But they also have allowed a Big Ten-worst 28 sacks this season.

Purdue’s left tackle Dennis Kelly has started 33 consecu-tive games and has been talked about as an NFL prospect.

The Boilermakers’ second-most experienced lineman, guard Peters Drey, missed last week’s game and is questionable for this week because of a back injury.

Advantage: Ohio State

< DEFENSIVE LINEMENOSU’s John Simon has been dominant in the last three games, totaling five

sacks and nine tackles for losses. He has six sacks and 12.5 tackles for losses on the season. Jonathan Hankins has three sacks and eight tackles for losses.

Purdue defensive end Kawann Short (12.5 tackles for losses, 3.5 sacks) was a second-team All-Big Ten selec-tion last season. Tackle Bruce Gaston is a two-year starter. Freshman Ryan Russell, one of the Boilermakers’ better pass rushers, was limited last week by a sprained ankle.

Advantage: Ohio State

< LINEBACKERSOhio State’s linebackers’ inexperience is sometimes

overlooked. Andrew Sweat, the veteran of the group, has 52 percent of his career tackles this season. Seventy-seven percent of Etienne Sabino’s career tackles have been this season and 49 percent of Storm Klein’s stops have been this season. Sweat leads OSU with 66 tackles and has five tackles for losses.

For Purdue, Dwayne Beckford has 70 tackles and four tackles for losses. Joe Holland is second on the team in tackles with 67 and has an interception. He has 44 career starts.

Advantage: Ohio State< DEFENSIVE BACKS

Turnovers have been an emphasis from Day One for Ohio State coach Luke Fickell. OSU’s 10 interceptions ranks third in the Big Ten, but Fickell says the Buckeyes need to do more. Cornerback Bradley Roby has three interceptions to lead OSU.

Purdue sophomore cornerback Ricardo Allen has three interceptions this season and six in his career. He has taken three of the interceptions back for touchdowns, including one this season.

Advantage: Ohio State

SPECIAL TEAMS >Ohio State fans got nervous when kicker Drew Basil

missed his first two kicks this season after going 0 for 2 last year. But Basil has hit 12 in a row since then.

Carson Wiggs, who kicked a 55-yard field goal in Purdue’s upset of Ohio State in 2009, is 10 of 15 on field goals this season. Punter Cody Webster leads the Big Ten at 45.5 yards a kick. Freshman Raheem Mostert is second in the Big Ten in kickoff returns (31.6 yards per return).

Advantage: Purdue

The three most earth-shak-ing firings in the Big Ten in the last 50 years have to be Ohio State firing football coach Woody Hayes in 1978, Indiana terminating men’s basketball coach Bobby Knight in 2000 and Wednesday night’s ousting of football coach Joe Paterno in a house cleaning that also took down the president at Penn State.

All three coaches were iconic figures who had spent several decades in their jobs. All three had become, for good or ill, the face of their universities to many people. They were legends.

And all three did themselves in. Hayes and Knight cost themselves their jobs with their inability to control their tem-pers.

But it was different with Paterno. His inaction, or maybe more precisely doing less than he should have, cost him a job he had held for 46 years.

Paterno, who will be 85 years old next month, apparently learned at least the broad out-line of an incident in which his longtime defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky allegedly sexu-ally abused a child in 2002. His failure to do anything beyond reporting it to his athletic direc-tor led to his demise.

In 46 years at Penn State, Paterno must have made thou-sands of decisions, maybe hun-dreds of thousands. But his career and at least part of his legacy came down to one bad decision.

In all three of those firings -- and in the forced resignation of Jim Tressel at Ohio State earlier this year-- there came a point where the damage to the images of the universities became so great that it became inevitable the coaches would not survive the controversies swirling around them.

Penn State, which had hap-pily allowed Paterno to be the face of the university for so many years, decided it no lon-ger could affort to be part of that bargain.

It will be strange to see Penn State take the field on Satur-day against Nebraska without Paterno, just as it will be odd not to see him at Ohio Stadium next Saturday.

to give the first local unita rousing sendoff.The soldiers traveled

by train south into Ken-tucky to link up withother Union units. Afterreaching Lexington —without canteens, uni-forms and other equip-ment — the soldiersbegan marching on foot.“It’s hot and they have nocanteens or food,” Odasaid, pointing out thepredicament the soldiersfound themselves in. “No-body was ready for them,”he said.Late in the day on Aug.

31, 1862, after a summerdownpour, the weary sol-diers stopped to rest. “Itwas hot and they had onwool uniforms,” Oda said.“They were exhaustedand probably dropped tothe ground.”However, there was to

be little rest that night.“Late in the evening asmall unit of Confederatesoldiers ambushed the94th,” Oda said. Duringthe chaos that ensued, agroup of soldiers onhorseback stormed downthe road, leading thestartled Union soldiers tofear that not only werethey being attacked by aenemy infantry soldiers,but also by a cavalryunit, Oda said.When the shooting

ended, two 94th soldiershad been killed and fourothers were wounded.Another 100 to 200 sol-diers were captured, in-cluding Capt. PerryStewart, commander ofCompany A.Oda said in a matter of

a few days the 94th “hadlost 10 percent of itsstrength and an officer,”Following the ambush,

members of 94th Infantryregrouped, still with littlefood or other supplies.

Oda said the soldierssurvived by eating hard-tack biscuits, which true-to-their name were sohard that they had to besoaked in coffee to eat.The regiment soon con-

nected with larger forcesto continue their journeythat would lead to muchlarger battlesDuring the Civil War,

battles not only tooktheir toll on the enlistedsoldiers, but also theirleaders. Frizell’s time ascommander of the 94th

would be brief. Afterbeing shot at the Battleof Stones River, he re-signed his commission inFebruary 1863.Unlike modern warfare

where generals and othermembers of the high com-mand are well behind thefront lines, during theCivil War the command-ing officers were expectedto be in the heat of thebattle. “High-ranking of-ficers were not only incharge of strategy, theywere expected to be lead-

ing their units forwardduring battles,” Oda said.Among the prominent

generals killed duringthe Civil War was Con-federate Gen. StonewallJackson.In addition to the offi-

cers leading the charge,soldiers also looked to theflag bearers to provide asense of where they wereduring often-chaotic bat-tles. “With all the smokefrom rifle fire, sometimesit was hard for soldiers toknow where they were,”Oda said, pointing up theimportance of color bear-ers.The 94th’s first full-

scale confrontation wasthe Battle of Perryville inKentucky on Oct. 8, 1862.The local unit was on thefront lines, fighting forabout 45 minutes beforethe Confederate Armywithdrew. The 94th suf-fered three deaths andfive wounded soldiers inthe battle.The regiment fought

in the Battle of Chicka-mauga (Tennessee) inSeptember 1863, theBattle of Lookout Moun-tain (Tennessee) in No-vember 1863, and tookpart in the Siege of At-lanta during the summerof 1864.The 94th regiment’s

commanding general inthe southern campaignwas fellow Ohioan Gen.William T. Sherman. Thelocal soldiers served inSherman’s March to theSea in late 1864. Thecampaign ended with thecapture of the Confeder-ate port of Savannah bythe end of 1864.

The next story in theCivil War series will takea look at the service of theother Union Army unitthat trained at CampPiqua — the 110th Regi-ment of the Ohio Volun-teer Infantry.

STAFF REPORTS

MIAMI COUNTY —Miami County deputiesarrested two subjects andhave charged them withone county of burglary,n a r -c o t i c schargesa n dposses-sion ofd r u ga b u s einstru-ments.T h e

arrestss t e mfrom abroad-c a s tt h eDa rkeCountySheriff ’s Office put outWednesday afternoon tobe on the lookout for adark colored Cadillac. Thevehicle’s registration cameback to Kevin R. Krug II,who lives on Troy-UrbanaRoad in Miami County.Darke County had put outthe broadcast after aDarke County resident in-terrupted his house beingbroken into and forwardedthe license plate and de-scription to Darke Countydeputies.Miami County deputies

later located and stoppedthe vehicle on Piqua-TroyRoad, just north of Troy-Urbana Road. The vehiclewas occupied by the twosuspects and deputies re-covered heroin and sy-

ringes from the passengercompartment. Krug andManuel Monsivais weretaken into custody with-out incident and incarcer-ated into the MiamiCounty Jail.Detectives later con-

ducted a search warranton the vehicle and locatedseveral items to include ashotgun which is believedto have been taken fromthe Darke County bur-glary. Miami County de-tectives believe that thepair is responsible formost of the residentialburglaries that have oc-curred in Monroe andUnion Townships the pastseveral weeks. MiamiCounty detectives havecharged one count of bur-glary for the time beingagainst both suspects for aburglary that was re-ported on Iddings Road inUnion Twp.More charges will be

pursued in the future afterdetectives conclude theirinvestigation. It is be-lieved the suspects wereusing the proceeds fromthe burglaries to fuel theirdrug habits. Darke Countydeputies are expected topursue charges as well.Even with the arrests

Tea party groups seekOhio ‘right to work’ law

BY ANN SANNERAssociated Press

COLUMBUS — Justtwo days after Ohio votersoverwhelmingly rejected astate law curbing collectivebargaining rights, a teaparty coalition said it willpush an amendment to thestate’s constitution thatwould prevent workerscovered by union contractsfrom being required to joinunions or pay dues.Chris Littleton, the co-

founder of the Ohio LibertyCouncil, told reportersThursday the group hassubmitted an initial 1,000signatures and the pro-posed wording for its right-to-work amendment to thestate’s attorney general.The group needs state

officials’ approval of thephrasing and signaturesbefore it can start collect-ing the roughly 386,000valid signatures needed byJuly to get the question on2012 ballots.If the group fails to get

the question before voters

during next year’s presi-dential election, it wouldcontinue its push in 2013,Littleton said.“We’re in this for the

long haul,” he said.The proposed amend-

ment comes on the heels ofTuesday’s election, whenmore than 61 percent ofvoters rejected a law thatrestricted the collectivebargaining rights of Ohio’smore than 350,000 publicworkers.Forty-six percent of reg-

istered voters turned out,setting a 20-year record interms of voter percentageand an all-time high intotal people voting in anoff-year general election.Labor groups and oppo-nents of the law pouredmore than $24 million intothe repeal campaign.The defeat of the Ohio

union law marked one ofthe biggest victories indecades for the labor move-ment.Tim Burga, president of

the Ohio AFL-CIO, said ina statement that the pro-posed amendment was “aneven more broad assaulton workers’ rights” thanthe union law, and that theunion wouldn’t shy awayfrom defending workers’rights once more.

Piqua Daily Call www.dailycall.com

Military history tells us that Ohio’s 37th DivisionNational Guard has provided forces for more thanone war involving our nation.We should be proud.

Guardsmen come from various size communities all overthe Buckeye State.There may even be a few veterans ofWorldWar II, 37th

Division combat still alive. I talked to a couple severalyears ago. They spent some nasty time crawling aroundmiserable jungles in the South Pacific. It was tough duty.Piqua’s Battery C, 136th Field Artillery, cannoneers werethere. They absorbed a lot of punishment.Within recent months, yet again, another battery of ar-

tillery from Piqua’s Armory has been called to active duty.In between times, back in the 1950s, Uncle Sam was in-volved in a war in Korea. Most folks had little notion ofwhat that was all about, but they were a major part ofUnited Nations forces. Again, over previous years, menfromMiami County signed upfor National Guard militarytraining. Patriotism moti-vated some; others were con-cerned about getting draftedwith no choice of what branchthey might be assigned to.“Serve with guys from yourhometown” is still a recruitingslogan. “Finish your collegeeducation program” applied toothers.In the late ’40s and very

early ’50s, Battery C, 136thField Artillery, 37th Division,located at Piqua’s Armory, drilled once a week and annu-ally went to summer camp for a couple of weeks.M-5 tankchassis tracks pulled six, 155 mm. howitzers around. Peo-ple still recall that those tracked primemovers served wellin several bad snows in Piqua when other transport could-n’t move.The author of these words joined up in 1951.That same

summer we were assigned summer camp at far awayCampMcCoy,Wis. It took a while to drive there from Piquathere in a 2 and a half ton truck…wooden seats were notpadded.Old timers in Charlie Battery said they had gone to

Camp McCoy for summer training before; just prior totheir call to active duty for World War II. These seasonedvets suggested, ominously, that we are sent to McCoy be-cause it has a large artillery range where our mediumrange 155s could have better firing practice. To some itsounded like an indication wemight soon be called upon toutilize our military prowess — like in Korea.Announcement of our “federalizing” came in 1951, as I

recall. Further training would take place in Camp Polk,La. they said. It was a hot there.When I left there I vowednever to go back again … and I haven’t. Sometimes whenit gets to be a soggy 100 degrees during an Ohio summer Iremember miserable life there.In Korea it got summer hot and Manchurian cold in

winter.Sending an entire division hadn’t worked well during

early times in Korea. So guys with a critical MOS (mili-tary occupational specialty) were individually assigned tooverseas duty as replacements. I had such an MOS; FireDirection Computer. I don’t think many of Charlie, 136th,got to Korea; a handful I estimate — some went to Ger-many; both groups together totaled maybe a couple dozensoldiers. One Piqua resident I know of was on a troop shipabout to sail for Far East Command assignment. At thelast minute, he was taken from the ship because he was ashort-timer … not enough time left in his enlistment to besent overseas.I went to the Far East on the same ship as Glenn Lan-

dis… regrettably I never talked to him after that boat ride.I had joined Battery C, 424th FieldArtillery (trailed 8 inchhowitzers) in the KumhwaValley. One time we moved to anew area for temporary support and former Piqua policeofficer and 136th sergeant Willie Hall showed up and weshared stories … and I never saw him again either. PaulStaley, Chuck Alexander and Bob Barton are still around,I think. I was in school in August 1952, and after gradua-tion, never resided in Piqua.I don’t know if anyone was killed in combat.So on our 1952 date of departure, our citizen-artillery-

men marched to the Piqua Pennsylvania Railroad stationfor loading and farewells. The high school band played pa-triotic tunes, local biggies said goodbye, and our friendsand neighbors started to worry and weep. Away we went.And that’s the point of this limited story.It was Jan. 15, 1952 — 60 years ago in a couple months

— a long time ago. It doesn’t take a lot of arithmetic toguess how old those former young guys might be today.And that’s just one chapter of Piqua’s home town

guardsmen. They serve their nation and their communitybecause it suits their wonderful sense of responsibility ascitizens.I thought maybe someone should notice. Thanks for lis-

tening.RichardArmbrust is a Piqua Central High School grad-

uate, Class of 1948. He was a private in Battery C., 136thField Artillery and a sergeant, Battery C., 424th Field Ar-tillery, Kumhwa, Korea, winter-spring, 1952-53. He also isa retired school administrator

Wars have always hadvarying impacts onAmerican lives in the

past decade … both good andbad. Heroes are found amongthe unfortunate loss of life.They impact us in unforget-table ways. GaryWhite is onethose individuals that willnever be forgotten. I have re-cently served in the U.S. mili-tary and recently asked himabout what it means to be aveteran.Gary was born in 1950 in

Cannel City, a rural town in the state ofKentucky. He came from an era where amilitary obligation (draft) dating all theway back to the Civil War was a commonthing. Male members in his family weredrafted and entered the military as youngas 15 years old.When asked about the rea-son he enlisted, Gary said “Growing up, Ihad the eyes of a soldier, but that was notmy primary reason for joining. Peoplewanted to bad mouth the war and protestagainst it. I wanted to show them what Istood for.”Two weeks before Gary signed up, he

was drafted at the age of 19 into theUnited States Army. The bus was filledwith recruits, some ready to go and someafraid of what was to come. Boys com-pleted basic training to become men in ashort amount of time. “I have been toldthat basic training would be tough, but tobe honest, training was like a day at foot-ball practice except 10 times worse,” Garysaid.“Things got better from there on out,”

Gary said. “I was not sure what job I wouldbe doing, but due to my mastery skills inshooting a gun, I was placed in the in-fantry. All of those hunting skills I wastaught while living in the mountains paidoff. Being known as ‘mountain people,’ wewere taught to shoot at long distances andkeep quiet at all times. My father told meI would be an amazing hunter one day.”Gary didn’t know the skills he learnedwould help him in locating hostiles in whathe called, “Search and Destroy” missions,or S&Ds.After completing the training in the jun-

gle, Greg served with his brothers over-seas. Two months later in July 1969, hefound himself on a naval ship with 3,000men heading over to the Vietnam War toan area called, “Dien Bien Phu.” Gary wasonly planning on serving one tour totalingnine months. Gary’s life was almost takenwhile fighting on the front lines:“The fighting had become more intense.

I lost some really close friends and I fearedevery day I was not going to make it out ofthere. One day, I was standing under apalm tree looking out for myself and mybrothers when I looked up and saw theenemy with a machete. He swung it at myarm and had sliced me good. I then tookflipped my pistol up and put a bullet rightin the center of his mouth, earning me myfirst purple heart. I honestly didn’t wantanything; I was just doing my job, but re-fusing a medal was something you just didnot do.”The No. 1 thing Gary complained about

was the weather.“Monsoon season was the worst. I re-

member it raining for four monthsstraight, day and night. Afterwards itwould be so hot, humidity staying at 100percent for days.At night the biggest mos-

quitos would be seen andsnakes would curl up besideyou for warmth. Most of themen would encounter “junglerot,” meaning skin on theirfeet would rot off because ofall the moisture they wouldendure while in the jungle.”Gary returned back home

to be with friends and familyfor a couple weeks. He haddecided that brotherhoodwas more important thanbeing home and re-enlistedanother term. He then

headed back over to be with his 35-manteam. That tour had lasted only fivemonths when Gary was struck by an in-coming mortar round, earning him his sec-ond purple heart and finishing out histime with the Army. He ended his enlist-ment as an E-5, known as a sergeant, hold-ing two purple hearts, and losing 24 of hisfellow team members.When Gary had returned home, there

was only one thing he wanted: an Ameri-can cheeseburger and some fries. Some-thing so easy should not have turnedhostile but Gary recalls otherwise:“My best friend, ‘Sketch’ and I rode over

a local burger joint.When we got there, thelady taking our order spat at my face.Sketch was furious and I could tell that ifI didn’t hold him back, he was going to goafter the lady. I looked straight into thewoman’s face and said, “You know lady, Ican see why you would do such a thing, butI have fought for this country, lost many ofmy fellow brothers at war, and did this soyou could be standing here freely. Now Iwould appreciate it if you just take theorder and give us what we came here for.She just stared at us with her dark coldeyes, fiercely turned around, and precededwith our order. We grabbed our food andheaded onto the bus to continue our jour-ney back home.”Gary currently resides in Beavercreek

with his wife of 41 years. They have twochildren together, a son and a daughter,and two grandchildren. Gary is an avidsupporter of his community. He loves totell war stories to children down at hischurch, and just in general, loves to giveback to Greene County. He works at hisgrandfather’s furniture store and has beenfor the past 35 years since he was sepa-rated from the military.When reflecting on his military service,

Gary said, “I loved my family very muchand didn’t want to leave them, but whenyou are in the military they are your fam-ily too, and me not going back would meanI was giving up on my brothers in combatand I knew the right thing to do was to goback.”Let us not forget our past and present

war heroes; they are the ones that allow usto be here today.

1. Double. Your hand isa little too good for anovercall of four diamonds.True, partner would readfour diamonds as indicat-ing a strong hand, but hewouldn’t expect quite thismuch. Substitute thedeuce of clubs for theking and you’d have anaverage four-diamondbid.The double is primarily

for takeout. It indicatesconsiderable all-aroundstrength and asks part-ner to bid his best (usu-ally longest) suit. Partnerwill occasionally pass,converting your intendedtakeout double to a

penalty double when hethinks that’s his best op-tion. If partner respondswith three spades or fourclubs, you plan to bid fourdiamonds next, therebyidentifying a hand toostrong for an immediatefour- diamond overcall.2. Three notrump. This

means what it says —that you want to play atgame in notrump. You’renot asking partner toname a suit, and heshould do so only when hehas good reason to thinkthat a suit contract wouldbe better. It is dangerousto double, because there’sno chance partner willpass, and his suit re-sponse might take youpast three notrump.3. Pass. There’s little to

be gained and possiblymuch to be lost by biddingat this point. To overcallwith four clubs would becourting disaster, since

your left-hand opponentmight have a strong handand good clubs. If partnercan’t compete after youpass, there’s probably notmuch of a future for yourside.4. Four spades. When

you are confronted with apre-emptive bid, what-ever you do often carriessome element of risk.Here, partner needs verylittle for you to make agame in spades, so youshould bid it. Of course,the next player might beable to double you suc-cessfully, but this risk ismore than offset by thepossibility of missinggame if you bid only threespades.5. Four hearts. This is

the kind of hand youshould have to make animmediate cuebid in theopponent’s suit. Youshould assume that gameis likely in whatever suit

your partner names. Fur-thermore, a slam is notout of the question.Of course, since partner

is forced to bid and mighthave a very poor hand,you should pass any min-imum response. The im-portant thing is to tellpartner that you have ahuge hand and are will-ing to contract for gameat the four- or five-level.

Tomorrow: All roadslead to Rome.

DEAR ABBY: Beforewe went on vacation, wetrusted our 15-year-oldneighbor “Mia” to feed ourcat, take in the mail andwater the plants. Whilewe were away, she invitedsome of her friends andtheir friends to our home.Some of them she knew bytheir nicknames and onlyfor a short time.When Mia’s parents

learned about the party,they forbade her to go.However, she failed tomention she had left ourdoor unlocked forstrangers to enter. It wasobvious when we returnedthat people had beenthere because things wereout of place and garbagewas left behind. We’remissing about $100 worthof beer and liquor, $50 inchange and $150 in oldcoins. Mia claims shedoesn’t know who wasthere, and her friendsaren’t being honest.I’d like to get the police

involved. Mia, her parentsand my husband think I’m“unfair” for wanting to in-volve the police. I believe acrime has been committedand don’t understand whyI’m being treated like thebad guy when I’m the vic-tim. The police have toldme Mia would not get intotrouble as long as she co-operates. Am I overreact-ing?

— VIOLATEDNEIGHBOR IN PENN-

SYLVANIA

DEAR VIOLATED: Idon’t think so. The partyanimals who invaded yourhome are guilty of tres-passing and theft. Youshould be compensated foranything that was takenand those responsible heldaccountable. Now that the“kids” have seen whereeverything of value inyour house is located, youcould be further victim-ized. You did the rightthing in informing the po-lice.

DEAR ABBY: I am re-cently widowed. Men Iwork with and the hus-bands of some of myfriends have been hittingon me. They’ll ask me outfor a meal, give me bighugs — and a couple ofthem have even kissed meon the mouth.I don’t lead them on,

and besides, I’m a chubbygreat-grandmother. Whatdrives men to do this? Dothey think they’re “consol-ing” me? When thesethings happen, I act as ifthey never did and go onas usual because to do oth-erwise would be hurtful totheir wives, who are my

friends. These men don’tfrighten me, but I don’tunderstand their motiva-tion. Do you?

— GRANNY IN HER70s

DEAR GRANNY:There isn’t a blanket ex-planation for the behavioryou have described. Someof your friends’ husbandsmay be trying to consoleyou; others may have lech-erous intentions. As toyour male co-workers, bighugs and kisses are a no-no in the workplace andyou should tell them so.If these incidents hap-

pen repeatedly with thesame people, you WILLhave to speak up and saythey’re making you un-comfortable. And as toyour friends’ husbands,try this: Stiff-arm themwhen you greet them witha sweet smile, then turnyour cheek when you seethem coming at you.

DEAR ABBY: My hus-band and I are not reli-gious. We believe thatpeople are entitled to theirown beliefs. My problemlies with my brother-in-law and his wife. They aretwo of the most judgmen-tal, sanctimonious peopleI have ever known. They“hate” (their word) Mor-mons, Catholics, etc. Howwould you suggest I re-spond to their criticism ofour “lack” of Christianityand their offers to pray forus?

DEAR VETERANS: Isalute you for your serviceto this country. My thanksto each of you, as well asto the brave and dedicatedmen and women who arestill on active duty. Youare the personification ofpatriotism and self-sacri-fice for your dedication tothis country.

Add in wins by Mi-randa Lambert, Lady Antebellumand Sugarland, and the songwrit-ing strength of today’s country girlsis undeniable.“When Taylor won entertainer I

secretly sang (Beyonce’s) ‘Whoruns the world? Girls,’ to Blake,”Lambert said after she and hus-band Blake Shelton repeated asmale and female vocalist of theyear. “I’m just really happy that fe-males are starting to be veryprominent and it is the femalesinger-songwriter.“It’s so cool that Kimberly wrote

song of the year by herself. And

that’s a dream of mine. I’m just sohappy the girls were really cele-brated tonight.”Celebrated like rarely before.

Swift became the second woman towin entertainer of the year twice,joining Barbara Mandrell, and shedid it by the age of 21.“To win it twice is like the coolest

thing ever happening to me twice,”Swift said backstage. “I’m freakingout right now.”She’s inspired legions of young

girls to take up guitar and writetheir own songs, and she hasspread the gospel of country musicto the Far East, filling stadiumslike few others can. She crossed the20 million mark in album sales andhas almost no rival in the genrewhen it comes to bringing convertsover the wall.She’s made all that headway on

the strength of her songs. She lovesnothing better than the process ofturning inspiration into somethingthat makes a connection with peo-ple all over the planet.Perry experienced a similar kind

of revelation when her song “If IDie Young” conquered countryradio then began to crossover on topop stations. Rarely do countrysongs resonate across genres, and

that the melancholy “If I DieYoung” ran hard in the face of thesuccessful formula so many followmade it even more impressive.The song earned Perry song of

the year, which goes to the writer,and The Band Perry, which in-cludes her brothers, single of theyear and new artist of the year.Perry said the song came to her

one afternoon and she got most ofit down right away. She showed itto her mom and said she thoughtshe’d bring it to Nashville to gethelp from another songwriter tofinish it, but her mother encour-aged her to keep ownership. Itturned out to be the right choice.“We sort of feel like we are part

of the country evangelism sceneand we love to hear country songson pop radio,” she said.Crossing over was another

strong theme of the night.Jason Aldean, who earned his

first major CMA award when hisplatinum-selling “My Kinda Party”won album of the year, also wonmusical event of the year for hisduet “Don’t You Wanna Stay” withpop star Kelly Clarkson. AndKenny Chesney won music video ofthe year for his duet “You andTequila” with rocker Grace Potter.

Associated Press

NEW YORK — At 17,Maggie Duwelius is abusy high school seniorwith her eye on a tough,competitive college.She’s a hard worker,

her mom said, but hergrades often fall short ofthat goal as she navigatesa whirl of extracurricu-lars: sports, volunteergigs, voice lessons, babysitting.Maggie’s life much of

the crush self-imposed feltout of control, with up tosix hours of homeworknightly and as little asfive hours of sleep.“She’s the most self-mo-

tivated of my three kidsby far, but she’s not one ofthose naturally ‘I canwalk into this test with apencil and do all right’kids,” said mom SarahDuwelius in suburbanPortland, Ore. “I’d see herworking so hard andthought there has to beanother way.”That’s where Maggie’s

life coach came in, ridinga trend over the last fewyears of extending thenontraditional help foradults to middle and highschoolers. Life coachingfor kids is not just aboutstreamlining study habitsor staying organized,though those things arepart of what JohnWilliams does with Mag-gie. It’s about young peo-ple taking control.“It’s more about the in-

ternal game, which iswhere the next frontier ofeducation is,” saidWilliams, a former Latinteacher. “Coaching pro-vides her an arena to talkthrough things she’sthinking about doing,which activities to be in-volved in, how she shouldallocate her time, what’smost important to her.”As a former middle

school and high schoolteacher, Williams said hesaw “that kids were notgetting a lot of essentialskills I wish I had gotten,like the ability to under-stand a default perspec-tive and how to shift thatperspective, or to just beaware of what your topthree values are, how doyou feel about certain re-lationships and assump-tions made inrelationships?”The need, for Maggie’s

mom, is far simpler: “He’staking a good thing andmaking it better. He’s giv-ing her even more toolsand making her success-ful.”Life coaching can lend

valuable breathing roomfor kids from the cheer-leading, criticism or ad-vice that parents andtherapists might normallyprovide.“What’s great about the

coaching is the problemidentification and prob-lem solving comes fromthe person beingcoached,” said SharonHaynes, whose 11-year-old daughter started

meeting with a life coachin Houston after a stress-ful transition to middleschool. “I found myselftalking to my daughter adnauseam and encourag-ing her and telling hereverything was going tobe good, but it’s helpful torun through it with some-body else.”Haynes’ daughter,

Tuesday, said her coach“has helped me by show-ing me the ups and downsof different situations andthe different perspectives.She helped me discovermy little WIIC monster,and that helps me to seethat I don’t need to be sonervous and that WIICmakes me worry for noreason.”That’s WIIC, for “What

If I Can’t.”A year into life coach-

ing, the freedom to speakfreely with Williams issomething Maggie stilllooks forward to.“We can talk about any-

thing,” she said. “It’s justsuch a better conversationthan you can have withsomeone else. I alwayswalk out of there feelingbetter. He makes schoolmake sense.”Life coaches, at least

25,000 strong around theglobe, are unregulated inthe United States, thougha nonprofit called the In-ternational Coach Federa-tion and otherorganizations are workingto align training and stan-dards. More than half ofall life coaches are work-

ing in the U.S., accordingto ICF, but it’s unclearhow many take on teensas clients. Some charge bythe hour, some have aminimum number of ses-sions. Prices vary but arecomparable to therapy.Many life coaches for

pre-teens and teens comefrom other fields wherethey’ve worked with kids,including teaching, socialwork or psychology, saidSandi Lindgren, a socialworker and youth coach inMinneapolis. But kids“have to want the coach-ing and they have to havesomething that they wantto change, want to do dif-ferently,” said Lindgren.“It could be something assimple as school or rela-tionships, but it has tocome from them.”Not every teen sees the

benefits of life coaching.In Chicago, Robin Sim-borg’s 17-year-old sonJack gave up on his coachafter four sessions.“I enjoyed the discus-

sions I had with my lifecoach and how she mademe dig deep and thinkhard to make connec-

tions,” said Jack, whohopes to move on to amusic college from highschool and has had a ther-apist for years to helpwith attention deficit dis-order and other issues. “Ialso enjoyed how easy itwas for me to apply thelessons I learned to mylife. However, I did not getas much out of the exer-cises as I did workingwith my therapist.”Some life coaches, like

Stephanie Sarkis, a ther-apist and coach in BocaRaton, Fla., specialize inADD issues.“Just having an impar-

tial third party can reallyhelp,” said Sarkis, whoworks with high schooland college students.“When you’re a collegestudent, you want to feelindependent. You’re focus-ing on the present and fu-ture.”Among the more practi-

cal aspects of her work:helping set up a highlystructured schedule bro-ken down into color-codedblocks of 30 minutes thecolors denoting specificclasses, study times, mee-

tups for social activitiesand free time. And sug-gesting non-emergencysmartphone notificationsbe turned off, insteadscheduling specific timesto check email and socialmedia to avoid the con-stant distraction.Sarkis also looks at

class syllabuses and testschedules, and has heryoung clients break downproject deadlines intosmaller tasks, assigningdue dates for reportingback to her for each one.“That way there’s an ac-countability factor,”Sarkis said.All are strategies that

could benefit a broaderrange of students, includ-ing Maggie’s 20-year-oldbrother, Connor. The col-lege junior is pulling Bsand Cs as he pursues amajor in communications.He began using Williamsafter his sister started.“The key aspect that

makes him so effective ishis ability to observe,”Connor said. “In the end,the process becomes muchmore than just raising agrade point average.”

Teens turn to lifecoaches to copewith pressures

The Duwelius family, from left to right, Sarah, Connor, 20, Paul and Maggie, 17,poses at the base of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. There has been a growingtrend recently of extending the nontraditional help of a life coach to middle andhigh schoolers.

Friday, Nov. 11, 2011It wouldn’t hurt to spend more time inthe next year attempting to find newways to enhance your material well-being as well as your standing in thecommunity. Chances are that you’llfind some ingenious ways to do so.SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Shouldconflicting opinions between you andyour mate become a bit trying, re-member that minor concessions and afew affectionate hugs could easily re-store a common bond.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) —Some kind of task you take on thatyou thought would be as easy as 1-2-3is likely to turn out to be much moredifficult. Regroup and try again, butbe prepared to take it to 4-5-6.CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) —Generally, you’re pretty good at man-aging your resources, but this may notbe a good day to do so. To be on thesafe side, enlist a friend to help keepyou in line.AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — In-stead of getting down to businesswhen time means money, you couldallow yourself to be dragged off course.Playing catch-up later on may preventyou from accomplishing what youhoped.PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — With-out thinking, sometimes you can endup being more of a talker than a doer.All your good intentions could godown the drain if you allow this tohappen.ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Moreinvestigation than you suspect may beneeded before you get involved in anew endeavor. Take plenty of time toexamine everything that needs check-ing.TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Suc-cess is important to you, but it should-n’t come at all costs. Think of yourreputation and how you could possiblyalienate others whom you may needdown the line.GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Don’tdepend too heavily upon chance orluck to achieve your goals; rely only onyourself. Achievement is possible, butyou must be consistent, concise andaccurate.CANCER (June 21-July 22) — It canalways be tempting to blame our mis-takes on someone else, but it onlymakes matters worse in the long run.Fessing up to your errors will win youadmirers.LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Be wary ofjumping to conclusions before youhave all the necessary facts. Once allthe information gets out in the open,you might have to make an embar-rassing apology.VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Becauseof one hasty judgment call, you mightspend just as much time placating co-workers as you do trying to be pro-ductive. To avoid trouble, think beforeyou act.LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — If youallow expediency to govern your ac-tions, any hasty moves could causeyou further delays.

< QUARTERBACKS >It has taken Braxton Miller only a few games to show why he was such

a highly recruited quarterback. He is a dynamic runner. But, other than his game-winning throw against Wisconsin, the Ohio State freshman has looked like a work in progress in the passing game. He has not thrown for more than 95 yards in any of his starts.

This is no longer Joe Tiller and Drew Brees’ pass-dominated offense for Purdue. The Boilermakers rank ninth in the Big Ten in passing yards. Caleb TerBush (1,386 yards passing, 10 TDs, 6 INTs) is the starter, but Robert Marve (344 yards, 3 TDs) has rotated with TerBush in some games.

Advantage: Even

< RUNNING BACKSDan Herron has run for more than 100 yards in each of

the last three games and Carlos Hyde went over 100 yards for the second time this season when Ohio State beat Indiana 34-20 last Saturday. Jordan Hall’s ankle sprain, which kept him on the sidelines last week, might still be a problem this week.

For Purdue, Ralph Bolden, who missed last season with a knee injury, and junior college transfer Akeem Shavers share the tailback position. Bolden (469 yards) and Shavers (338 yards) both average 4.6 yards per carry.

Advantage: Ohio State

RECEIVERS >Uncertainty is the rule in OSU’s receiving unit. Devin

Smith caught the winning touchdown pass against Wis-consin and then didn’t get a catch against Indiana. Tight end Jake Stoneburner caught eight passes in the first two games of the season and has only four since.

Purdue spreads the ball around in the passing game. Nine different Boilermakers caught passes in a 62-17 loss to Wisconsin last week and six players have 12 or more catches. Justin Siler (34 catches), O.J. Ross (29 catches) and Antavian Edison (26 catches) are TerBush’s favorite targets.

Advantage: Purdue< OFFENSIVE LINEMEN

Ohio State has blocked well in its running game but con-tinues to give up an uncomfortably high number of sacks. The Buckeyes have averaged 267 yards a game rushing in their last four games since being held to 35 yards on the ground by Michigan State. But they also have allowed a Big Ten-worst 28 sacks this season.

Purdue’s left tackle Dennis Kelly has started 33 consecu-tive games and has been talked about as an NFL prospect.

The Boilermakers’ second-most experienced lineman, guard Peters Drey, missed last week’s game and is questionable for this week because of a back injury.

Advantage: Ohio State

< DEFENSIVE LINEMENOSU’s John Simon has been dominant in the last three games, totaling five

sacks and nine tackles for losses. He has six sacks and 12.5 tackles for losses on the season. Jonathan Hankins has three sacks and eight tackles for losses.

Purdue defensive end Kawann Short (12.5 tackles for losses, 3.5 sacks) was a second-team All-Big Ten selec-tion last season. Tackle Bruce Gaston is a two-year starter. Freshman Ryan Russell, one of the Boilermakers’ better pass rushers, was limited last week by a sprained ankle.

Advantage: Ohio State

< LINEBACKERSOhio State’s linebackers’ inexperience is sometimes

overlooked. Andrew Sweat, the veteran of the group, has 52 percent of his career tackles this season. Seventy-seven percent of Etienne Sabino’s career tackles have been this season and 49 percent of Storm Klein’s stops have been this season. Sweat leads OSU with 66 tackles and has five tackles for losses.

For Purdue, Dwayne Beckford has 70 tackles and four tackles for losses. Joe Holland is second on the team in tackles with 67 and has an interception. He has 44 career starts.

Advantage: Ohio State< DEFENSIVE BACKS

Turnovers have been an emphasis from Day One for Ohio State coach Luke Fickell. OSU’s 10 interceptions ranks third in the Big Ten, but Fickell says the Buckeyes need to do more. Cornerback Bradley Roby has three interceptions to lead OSU.

Purdue sophomore cornerback Ricardo Allen has three interceptions this season and six in his career. He has taken three of the interceptions back for touchdowns, including one this season.

Advantage: Ohio State

SPECIAL TEAMS >Ohio State fans got nervous when kicker Drew Basil

missed his first two kicks this season after going 0 for 2 last year. But Basil has hit 12 in a row since then.

Carson Wiggs, who kicked a 55-yard field goal in Purdue’s upset of Ohio State in 2009, is 10 of 15 on field goals this season. Punter Cody Webster leads the Big Ten at 45.5 yards a kick. Freshman Raheem Mostert is second in the Big Ten in kickoff returns (31.6 yards per return).

Advantage: Purdue

The three most earth-shak-ing firings in the Big Ten in the last 50 years have to be Ohio State firing football coach Woody Hayes in 1978, Indiana terminating men’s basketball coach Bobby Knight in 2000 and Wednesday night’s ousting of football coach Joe Paterno in a house cleaning that also took down the president at Penn State.

All three coaches were iconic figures who had spent several decades in their jobs. All three had become, for good or ill, the face of their universities to many people. They were legends.

And all three did themselves in. Hayes and Knight cost themselves their jobs with their inability to control their tem-pers.

But it was different with Paterno. His inaction, or maybe more precisely doing less than he should have, cost him a job he had held for 46 years.

Paterno, who will be 85 years old next month, apparently learned at least the broad out-line of an incident in which his longtime defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky allegedly sexu-ally abused a child in 2002. His failure to do anything beyond reporting it to his athletic direc-tor led to his demise.

In 46 years at Penn State, Paterno must have made thou-sands of decisions, maybe hun-dreds of thousands. But his career and at least part of his legacy came down to one bad decision.

In all three of those firings -- and in the forced resignation of Jim Tressel at Ohio State earlier this year-- there came a point where the damage to the images of the universities became so great that it became inevitable the coaches would not survive the controversies swirling around them.

Penn State, which had hap-pily allowed Paterno to be the face of the university for so many years, decided it no lon-ger could affort to be part of that bargain.

It will be strange to see Penn State take the field on Satur-day against Nebraska without Paterno, just as it will be odd not to see him at Ohio Stadium next Saturday.

FAIRBORN — The Miami East Vikingsmay be the new kids on the block.But they’re already setting up a long-

term residence.Even though it was their first time ever

in the Division III state semifinal roundThursday at Wright State University’sNutter Center, and even though early onthe team consisting of a vast majority ofunderclassmen looked like a group ofwide-eyed young pups for the first timethis season, by the end of the match theVikings were all playing like savvy, griz-zled, determined veterans, holding on for afour-game victory, 25-21, 25-21, 17-25, 25-22 over Adena — and, most importantly,earning the right to play for the statechampionship.“When you get to this point, it’s all about

grunting it out,” Miami East coach JohnCash said. “This was a just-get-through-itmatch.“Both teams were ready to play. Adena’s

tradition here is pretty rich. They’ve beenhere before, and we knew they weren’tgoing to come in rattled. We were a littleanxious after five days off. We’d like to playtomorrow if we could.”The Vikings (28-1) will have to wait one

more day than that, though, as they willface Gates Mills Gilmour Academy — lastyear’s state runner-up and a winner overColumbus Bishop Ready Thursday inthree — at 11 a.m. Saturday at the NutterCenter.It was the eighth trip for Adena (24-4)

to the state tournament, including mostrecently a runner-up finish in 2009.

may not have limited her asmuch as they wanted to, itwas still enough to keep theWarriors’ most dangerousweapon from hurting themenough to keep them out ofthe Division III state titlematch as Miami East wasable to win the state semifi-nal matchup in four Thurs-day at Wright StateUniversity’s Nutter Center.“I don’t know that we con-

tained her. She had 20 kills?Well … we kept her from get-ting 40,” Cash said with alaugh.In her 27 years of coaching

at Adena, Laura Smith hashad plenty of success with acareer record of 592-109. Yetthrough all that success,Smith has never had a girlquite like Arledge.“She is the only six-footer

I’ve ever had in my 27 yearsof coaching,” Smith said.“She’s really picked up hergame this year. She has im-proved on her quicknesssince she started her sopho-more year. She’s just becomea great player for us thisyear.”Arledge — who is looking

to continue her volleyball ca-

reer at possibly Capital orOtterbein — entered thematch a total of 388 kills,which was why stopping herwas one of keys for East.But if any team was going

to match up against Adena,it was Miami East — withfive girls listed over 6-foot.Arledge showed why she

was on East’s radar afterrecording six kills in a Game1 loss, and she racked upfour more kills in Game 2.With the score knotted at

13-13 in Game 2, East wenton a 4-0 run to make it 17-13, with Arledge hitting theball out of bounds on two killattempts during that span.The Vikings never trailedagain in that game.After Adena won Game 3,

the Vikings came out sharpin the next one, building a17-10 lead at one point … be-fore Arledge led the Adena comeback, with her 20th

kill of the match and cuttingthe deficit to 17-14. But asthe game wore on, theVikings’ height up frontproved to give Arledge prob-lems.That became evident late

in Game 4, as two errors byArledge allowed East to es-cape with the win. Sam Cashblocked Arledge’s spike at-tempt to give the Vikings a24-22 lead, then Arledge wasset up for a kill but missedlong to give the Vikings thegame and match.“She’s tough,” Cash said.

“As the High school foot-ball season is almost overit is not a bad time to saysomething about the com-ing High school basketball season and the out-look for a winning P.H.S.team.“This year the team will

be without the services ofLeffel and Levering, thetwo stars of last year’steam. The men still inschool who played on theteam last year are : Yen-ney, captain of this year’steam; Chamberlain, a starat making goals; Meeker,the big center of thisyear’s football team andseveral others who playedin one of more games lastyear and showed greatform and promise for theseason.“Captain Yenney is con-

fident of having a teamthat P.H.S. will be proudof. He hopes to keep thestandard of former P.H.S.teams before his men andthus keep them on edgeduring the season so theycan look back at the end,knowing they have notlowered the standard ofold Piqua Hi.“The schedule this year

is a hard one and containssome of the best Highschool teams to be had.St. Mary’s will also beplayed this year and agame is almost sure to bearranged between theColumbus Deaf College,and the local team to beplayed here in the firstpart of the season.“Practice is to start as

soon as the football seasonends as most on the foot-ball team play basket ballthe team is sure to roundinto form before manydays pass and then watchthemmake a winning sea-son.“The writer is not afraid

to use ‘is’ instead of ‘willbe’, because not a ‘quitter’can be found on the team.They are all ‘stickers.’ Afew words of praise of thespirit of P.H.S. athletes:“The boys of the local

teams have never been ac-cused of having a yellowstreak or in other words,nerve, have they showncowardice in facing the‘music’ that is found in allgames.“Many a time team rep-

resenting P.H.S. has founditself looking certain de-feat in the face only tocome back with that bull-dog spirit for which Yale isnoted and turned whatlooked like defeat into vic-tory.“That spirit and play

are for the sake of thesport, not alone to wingames, counts.”The Columbus Deaf

Mutes were the first oppo-nents of the 1909 season.“The P.H.S. will present astrong line-up against theColumbus Deaf Mutes inthe game Friday. The boyshave been practicing sinceDecember 1st, are in ex-cellent condition and ex-pect to win to make thedeaf mutes go south. Thisis one of the strongestcombinations that P.H.S.has had for years and awinning season is lookedfor.”“P.H.S. defeated the

Deaf and Dumb Muteteam of Columbus, Ohio atthe Lyric Rink last nightby the score of 32-22. Thegame marked the openingof the ’09 season for thelocal team and a goodstart was made, both fi-nancially and otherwise.“The Mutes have a

splendid team and handi-capped by the loss of bothspeech and hearing theyplayed a remarkablegame.“They had just returned

from a holiday vacationwhich did not help theircondition any. Piquasurely opened her seasonauspiciously and may notfeel the sting of defeatthroughout the entire ’09.”

West Milton is next onthe schedule.“The second game of the

Basket Ball season will beheld in St. George Hall onFriday night when thePiqua H.S. plays the WestMilton H.S.“On account of the

heavy expense of lastweek’s game the receiptswere not sufficient tocover the expenses andthe management respect-fully solicits the patronageof the public.“The record that P.H.S.

has made in athletics hasbeen wonderful when thefacts are considered. Thetotal number of boys inschool being about onehundred and twenty fiveand all teams are pickedfrom that number.“That we are to compete

with teams from schoolsexceeding over five hun-dred boys is not only a factbut the records show thatin the last five years notone game of Basket Ballhas been lost to an oppos-ing High school team.Faulte’s orchestra will fur-nish good music before thegame and between thehalves.”“West Milton high

school Basketball teamwas defeated last night byP.H.S. by the close marginof one point, 33 to 32. Thegame was bitterly foughtand every inch of the floorwas contested for by strat-egy or extreme roughness.“From the time the ref-

eree’s whistle blew, at thestart of the game, WestMilton’s playing was char-acterized by roughness.This continued for a fewminutes of play and the of-ficials seemed utterly un-able to prevent it.“Piqua did not at once

start to roughing it withthe visitors, but after atime it became, theythought, necessary forthem to indulge in a littlerough work to hold theirown.“Many arguments re-

sulted and delays werefrequent. The visitorsseemed determined to winthe game by either sci-ence, argument or playingroughly.“Skating was enjoyed

after the game. The WestMilton referee was thesubject of much criticismand really did make some‘wide’ decisions.”

Before the next gamewith Hamilton, the Piquafans are made aware of at-tendance problems.“The Piqua High school

Basket Ball team jour-neyed to Hamilton this af-ternoon to meet thestrong High school team ofthat place and it should beone of the hardest foughtgames of the season.“The support of the

home team by the publichas not been nearly asgood as it ought to be andunless attendance im-proves, it is probable thatthe sport will be discontin-ued for the rest of the sea-son.“This would be too bad,

and if it is done, it will bethe first time in the his-tory of P.H.S. that such athing has occurred.“The boys give a good

exhibition of skill andtheir efforts should atleast be rewarded by goodattendance.”“P.H.S. defeated Hamil-

ton high school at Hamil-ton last night by thedecisive score of 49-27.The game was one of thecleanest fought conteststhat has been seen in thispart of the state this sea-son.“Each team worked

hard for victory but thebetter five won and whileHamilton felt keenly thedefeat they were satisfiedthat Piqua won, only bythe fairest of methods andwere entitled to the vic-tory.“The Hamilton team

and their associatestreated the local teamwith due courtesy andwithout any of the seriousarguments that are sodetrimental to the basketball game.”

Without explanation,the next opponent was alocal church team.“P.H.S. basket ball team

easily defeated the GraceChurch team last night atthe Y.M.C.A. gymnasiumby the overwhelming scoreof 81 to 5. The high schoolteam went into the gamefor all there was in it andtried to see how high theycould run up the score.“The attendance was

good considering the ex-tremely bad weather andsome lovely rooting wasdone by admirers of boththe teams.”

For the second time intwo weeks, Hamilton wasthe opponent.“The so called strong

Hamilton basket ballteam was easily defeatedlast night in St. GeorgeHall by the local Highschool team.“The final score was 57-

17. It did not seem possi-ble that the team playingon the floor was the onethat gave Piqua the hard-est game of the seasonsome time ago. The teamplayed more like a secondteam to a Y.M.C.A. class.“Whatever was the mat-

ter with the players we donot know, but it is certainthat they had a big case ofstage fright or were out ofform.“The crowd was very

impartial in their rooting,and gave the visitors en-couragement at everyturn, but this was useless.“The crowd was not

what it ought to have beenalthough very fair. Thesinging of the High schoolstudents between thehalves was a most enjoy-able feature of the game.“The boys sing very well

and should get togetherand practice more as theyhave some excellent mate-rial to develop a glee clubfrom.”In a bizarre finish,

Piqua tangles with theKnights of St. George bas-ketball team from Dayton.“When the Knights of

St. George Basket Ballteam of Dayton came up to

Piqua last night to meetthe P.H.S. boys they ex-pected an easy victory asthey are a team with a listof victories to their creditany team might well beproud of.“They found their oppo-

nents men who madethem play their best andthen the best they coulddo was to tie the scoreafter as fast and exciting agame as was ever playedin Piqua.“At the end of the first

half the score read Piqua18, Dayton 8. When thewhistle blew for the end ofthe last half Dayton 18,and Piqua 8.“It was decided to play

the game off and the ballwas put in play. Pflaum ofDayton got it and threw itinto the basket.“This would have set-

tled that game if it hadcounted but the man hadone foot on the west lineand Referee Crawfordblew his whistle.“The men of both teams

had started to leave thefloor as soon as the ball hitthe basket and as thespectators were also goingout, they did not hear thewhistle. Dr. Crawfordwent to the dressing roomand asked the men tocome back but the Daytonteam refused to do thisand the matter was leftuntil this morning whenmember of both teamsmet at Dr. Crawfords of-fice and talked the subjectover.“The Dayton teams rep-

resentatives were veryfair and courteous and itwas decided to call thegame of last night a tieand play it off soon.The next game will be

played either on the 19thor 26th of March in Piqua.“The action of the Day-

ton team in accepting thedecision of the refereewithout argument showsthem to be true sportsmenand men who play for thelove of the game as well asto win.“Chamberlain, one of

the Piqua players askedthat the Piqua rooters notcheer him until he hadmade the basket when heis trying to throw a foulgoal, wait until he hasdone it. The cheering be-forehand seems to ‘rattle’him.”Still undefeated, but

with a tie on their record,it is time to visit Lima.“The P.H.S. basket ball

team once more provedtheir superiority whenthey defeated Lima H.S.last night at the Audito-rium to the tune of 37 to23.“The floor was very slip-

pery and the Piqua boys

found it hard to keep theirfeet, especially in the firsthalf, while the Lima boyswere equipped with suc-tion shoes.“In the second half,

however, the local boysstruck their game andnothing short of a regi-ment could stop them.”The Lima Gazette says:“Piqua’s official was just

little too officious, orrather unobservant of theprogress of the game, call-ing foul after foul thatwere not fouls and forth-with there was wranglingand the final producing ofthe rule books whichcaused “Doc” Crawford toback up and apologize forwhat he had done.“This caused a delay in

the progress of the gameand irritated the crowd.’This is entirely wrong asthere was no wrangling orproducing of the rule bookand no delay expect whenBrunstein took time outtwice on a fall on the floorand when Brown tooktime to repair his shirtwhich was torn in thegame.“Dancing was enjoyed

after the game.”The undefeated season

was about to come to endwhen Piqua traveled toWapakoneta.“P.H.S. met her first de-

feat of the season at thehands ofWapakoneta highschool last night in thatcity by the score of 23-17.“The game resembled

foot ball more than anyother game. It is the waythe Wapakoneta team isused to playing, they arereadily excusable as Piqualost, there is no kick com-ing from the local teamwhatever.“The game was played

in the city hall, which issmall and was crowded.The Piquads were met atthe traction station by theWapakoneta high schoolband, and they gave theteam a rousing welcome.“Good spirit was mani-

fested by the people whoseemed to want to do all intheir power to please thePiqua visitors.“The band was present

at the game and renderedgood music, much to thesatisfaction of all present.”

Next was a rematchwith the Knights of St.George of Dayton.“What is considered will

be the best game of theseason will be playedtonight at St. George Hall.The strong and unde-feated Knights of St.George of Dayton will bethe local team’s opponentsand they say that theywill surely win. P.H.S. ofcourse has something tosay in the matter. If St.

George’s team wins, it willbe only through the bestplay. It will be remem-bered that two weeks agothis team and Piquaplayed a tie game.“There is not one chance

in a hundred that a tiewill occur again tonight.It is up to either one of theother teams to lose. Everyloyal rooter should be outand root for the hometeam.“Also help to remove the

basket ball debt for thisseason and give the teaman opportunity to close thescheduled games with aclean financial record. Re-member P.H.S. has onlylost one game in fouryears. Good music will beprovided during theevening.”“Another tie was the re-

sult of last night’s gamewith the St. George Bas-ket Ball Team of Dayton.The singular coinci-dence—two teams playingtwo tie games with eachother in succession, wouldnot happen once out of ahundred times, but, it wasa fact this time.“When it came to down

right staying qualities andendurance, Piqua led theiropponents with such vigorthat several times the vis-itors restored to strategiesin order to give their play-ers time to get rest.“If these delays had not

been permitted, or at leastlikely had not happened, itis very likely the Daytoni-ans would have been de-feated by a good decisivescore.“At the end of the game

the crowd thought the tiegame would complete thenight, but the referee’swhistle called them back.The two captains of theteams had decided to playoff the tie at once. Therule under a condition ofthis kind is that the teamthat makes the first goalwins the game.“Imagine the excite-

ment that prevailed in thehall, when the ball wasagain put into play. Thistime it was not to stopuntil someone had won.Hunter at center touchedthe ball in the toss-up andsent it against the southwall.“Chamberlain recov-

ered it and shot at the bas-ket but missed. Herecovered it again, and theball was lingering aroundthe top, and perilouslyclose to the edge, it lookedlongingly down into thedepths, and with the sighsof every P.H.S. studenturging it downward, itdropped gracefully intothe basket for the 26 – 24

victory.“Chamberlain, who won

the game, was picked upand carried over the floorof the hall by his enthusi-astic comrades. It is saidby experts that the gamewas the best that had everbeen played in this city. Itcertainly did not look lastnight as if late hours andsmoking had put P.H.S.out of form.“Men who sit up nights

and smoke to excess can-not put up the kind of bas-kets the team did lastnight.”Piqua travels to Dayton

to take on the St. Mary’sInstitute.“The Piqua High School

Basket Ball team jour-neyed to Dayton last nightand played the strong St.Mary’ s Institute team.“They were defeated by

the score of 39 to 32. Thegame was played in theInstitute Hall and waswitnessed by a largecrowd. Piqua was liber-ally represented at thegame, and a solid car loadof rooters accompaniedthe team from here.“Most of the rooters left

at half past six o’clock butthe team went at half pastfour in order to give theplayers a good rest beforethe game.“Piqua seemed shat-

tered and the playersfailed to get in that goodteam work that alwayscharacterized them inother games.“The Dayton Referee

seemed to strive his ut-most to find Piqua fouling,but not nearly so hard tosee any of Dayton’s faults.

“This was all in thegame, however, and nokicking will be heard atthis end of the line.”As the season winds

down, Piqua entertainsLima.“Lima High School was

defeated last night at St.George Hall by P.H.S. bythe decisive score of 47-14.“The game was Piqua’s

from the very start andparticularly in the firsthalf when the home teamplayed rings around thevictors.“The game was not very

exciting from the stand-point of the spectator. Attimes it lagged, and theplaying was listless. Thescore tells all about thegame.“It was plainly a case of

a team being so far out-classed by the home teamthat the game was only afarce and the local playersliterally played with thevisitors as a cat would amouse.”The season finale finds

Bethel coming to Piqua.“P.H.S. will play the

concluding game of theseason at St. George HallFriday night.“Bethel High School

will be the opponents ofthe home team. While it isexpected that the visitorswill be beaten, the gameshould attract many forthe reason that it is thelast opportunity of seeingthis year’s star team in agame.“The attendance at the

game is not what it shouldbe this year, and the treas-ury box will be amplylarge enough to hold all

the surplus money that isleft over after the mani-fold expenses are de-ducted from the account.”“Bethel High school, a

heretofore little talked ofBasket ball team, jour-neyed to this city lastnight and coolly defeatedP.H.S. by a margin of onepoint.“The score was 30-29.

Bethel was not supposedto have a team knowinghardly the first principlesof basket ball but never-theless they demonstratedthemselves to be in an alltogether class, and insteadof the local team makingsport of them, as everyonesupposed they would.“Bethel deliberately

took the lead early in thegame and held the enviedposition until the ‘bitterend.’ In spite of the superhuman efforts of the localteam, Bethel won hergame by one point, andthe closing argument forthe season of ‘09’ wasgiven to the village teamfrom a place called Bethel,and they won by goodwork and clean playing allthe time.”The 1909 basketball

season ends with 8 wins, 3losses and a tie.

But the Vikings hadsimply worked to hard tolet their season end.“This was our goal all

along,” Cash said. “Wethought we came up shortlast year (losing in the sec-tional final). We thoughtwe should have been inthe regional final thenbattling for the right to behere. But nothing makesyou hungrier than a loss.These girls hate losingmore than they like win-ning.“Our practices are

pretty intense. It all de-pends on how much effortyou put into it. We gradeeverything we do, andthese kids are a lottougher on themselvesthan I could ever be onthem.”Even after the intense

and emotional match,though, they kept thingslight-hearted.“We’ve put up with him

for the entire season. Wewant to win,” junior cap-tain Abby Cash said witha laugh and a nudge thecoach’s way. “That inten-sity we have in practicedefinitely translates intoour games.”And even though the

Vikings kept their trade-mark balance intact withsix players with five killsor more offensively, it wasLeah Dunivan they wentto whenever they needed ascore.The junior captain fin-

ished with a team-high 12kills and added an ace, ablock and two digs. Five ofDunivan’s kills came inthe decisive fourth game— including one thatbroke a 22-22 tie andkicked off Miami East’sthree-point run to closeout the match.“She was a stud,” John

Cash said. “In the first set,we noticed they were solo-blocking her every timewe set her, so I told my

setters to get her the ballevery chance they got.”Abby Cash did a bit of

everything, adding 10kills, 18 assists, three acesand 24 digs, while SamCash had seven kills, ateam-high 24 assists, anace, eight digs and a criti-cal block that made thescore 24-22 in the fourthgame.An error by Adena’s

leading hitter, OliviaArledge, put an end to thematch.Kelsey Vanchure — the

team’s lone senior — hadnine kills and came upparticularly clutch in thefirst two games. After aDunivan kill made it 22-20 in the first game,Vanchure put down a pairof consecutive kills to givethe Vikings game point.Arledge ended the runwith a kill but had anerror on the next point togive the Vikings the game.And after a Miami Eastservice error made thescore 22-21 Vikings in thesecond game, Vanchureagain scored their 23rdand 24th points on kills,and an ace by Abby Cashput Miami East one gameaway from the state final.But Adena—which lost

the first two games of itsregional final matchuponly to come back and winin five — wasn’t done.After the Vikings built a

9-5 lead, the Warriorswent on an eight-pointrun as Michelle Ackleyserved seven straightpoints to make it 13-9.And after a kill by Ash-

ley Current (five kills, twoblocks) brought MiamiEast back within two at18-16, Ackley had fourmore consecutive servesduring a five-point runthat made it 23-16 as theVikings couldn’t put to-gether a good offensive seton her serves.Orledge put down a kill

to give the Warriors thegame and hold off elimi-nation.“Ball control and atti-

tude,” John Cash saidwhen asked what changedin the third game. “Serveand ball control are thetwo key parts of every-thing you do. If you don’thave ball control, it’s hardto run your offense.”The Warriors showed

more of that come-from-behind attitude in Game4. The Vikings held a 17-10 lead at one point —which is the score MiamiEast trailed by againstFenwick in one game oftheir regional finalmatchup before comingback to win it — butAdena scored five in a rowto cut the lead to two,eventually took a 20-19lead and held the advan-tage as late as 21-20 be-fore Miami East closed itout.“You have to face adver-

sity sometimes,” Dunivansaid.“We just decided to be

more aggressive,” AbbyCash said. “In the thirdgame, we started getting alittle lazy and just sendingit back over to them. Weneeded to be more aggres-sive.”“We’d been there be-

fore,” John Cash said. “Wewere up big on St. Henryin the second set and lostthat set before beatingthem in three. When youget to this point, you’vejust got to grind it out.”Angie Mack added five

kills, an assist, two acesand 22 digs, Allison Mor-rett led the defense with32 digs and had an aceand Allie Millhouse had akill, an ace and 10 digs.“It was a good win.

Every win is a good win,”John Cash said. “Weearned it today, and we’llhave to earn it on Satur-day.”

Lady VikingsContinued from page 13

her left. Its not asdriven a ball. We felt likewe could win 60 percent ofthe points if we made herdo that. We won justenough to scrap pointsout.”Arledge ended the

match with 20 kills, de-spite being set up 61 timesby her teammates. Shealso was forced into 12 er-rors, giving her an attackpercentage of 13.1 per-cent.The Vikings will face off

against some size in thestate title game againstGilmour Academy.Gilmour has three girlsover 6-foot, with 6-3 soph-omore Jessica Janotaleading the team (276kills).

� Quick-HitterThere was a play in the

Miami East repertoirethat Adena couldn’t stop.It was the quick-hitter.Miami East scored on

14 out of 19 on quick hits,with the setters and mid-

dles timing it just right sothat the ball was still onits way up when the swingsent it down. Leah Duni-van tallied the majority ofscores on the play, AbbyCash and Ashley Currentalso knocked over a fewfor points, as well.“We knew what Duni-

van was going to do. Wejust couldn’t stop it,”Smith said. “We justhaven’t seen anything likethat all year. We justweren’t ready for that de-fensively. We couldn’t getto our spots on time to digthem up.”“She was a stud,” Cash

said of Dunivan. “We’vebeen working on a newswing recently, and itworked pretty well.”The Warriors tried to

emulate the play a fewtimes, as well, but couldn’tget their timing right.

� Rich TraditionAdena is a two-time

state champion in volley-ball, winning back-to-back

title’s in 1975 and 1976 —the first two years thetournament was held.Since then, theWarriors

have never won anotherstate title, although theydid come close a few times.Adena was the state run-ner-up in 1993 and 2009,and in total, the school hasmade state appearanceseight times.“Adena’s tradition here

is pretty rich. They’vebeen here before,” Cashsaid.The Vikings, however,

were one of two teamsmaking their first-ever ap-pearance at the state tour-nament. The other,Columbus Bishop Ready,was not as fortunate,falling to four-time statequalifier and last year’sstate runner-up GilmourAcademy in three.Miami East already de-

feated the defending statechampion — Bishop Fen-wick — in the regionalfinal.

watched John Daly losepatience, lose hope andeventually lose his tempershould not have been sur-prised. He turned a badbreak into somethingmuch worse, then walkedoff the golf course at theAustralian Open.It wasn't the first time.

It might be the last.Not long after Daly

withdrew Thursday, thePGA of Australia said he

no longer was welcome intwo weeks for the Aus-tralian PGA Champi-onship. Golf Australia'sdirector of tournaments,Trevor Herden, called him"unprofessional" and saidwhile the Australian Openloves to have major cham-pions in the field, "I wouldsay this is the last time wewill see John Daly."Mahan was walking

down the 11th fairway atThe Lakes, a 577-yardhole that hugs the waters,when he looked back tosee Daly pump two shots

into the water while try-ing to reach the green.Then came a third. And

a fourth. And a fifth. Asixth. A seventh."I was thinking of Bay

Hill when he dumped abunch in the water,"Mahan said.Mahan was still a

teenager in Dallas in 1998when Daly hit six ballsinto the water on the sixthhole at Bay Hill in thefinal round and made an18, the highest score hehas recorded.The only thing that

kept Daly from breakinghis record at the Aus-tralian Open was thatDaly ran out of balls. Hewould have been playinghis 16th shot. Instead, he motioned to

Mahan and Craig Parry,handed over his scorecardand stormed off thecourse."Once I saw two go in, I

think the effort went downpretty fast," Mahan said."I thought that's what wewere going to see. And wedid."Daly was 7-over par

through 10 holes.His career scorecard

looks even worse, espe-cially Down Under.Six months after win-

ning his first major in the1991 PGA Championshipat Crooked Stick, Dalywas disqualified from theAustralian Masters forfailing to sign his cardafter an 81 in the secondround. Five years later, heshot an 83 in the thirdround of the HeinekenClassic and played thefinal round in 2 hours, 10minutes, angering tourna-

ment officials who paid abig appearance fee.Then came the Aus-

tralian PGA in 2002, whenhe was so disgusted with atriple bogey and a 78, hethrew his putter into thelake on the 18th greenand was fined $5,600. He also had to write an

apology to a tour officialhe was said to haveabused.That's just Australia.His rap sheet is worse

in the United States,where Daly had his "TinCup" moment at Bay Hill.
