Piqua chief says more people in city looking for handout BY WILL E SANDERS Staff Writer wsanders@civitasmedia.com

Panhandlers raise concerns

PIQUA — On one blustery January afternoon a young man with a cardboard sign and a hand out greeted busy commuters along exit ramp of I-75 and East Ash Street. A few hundred feet away at the opposing entrance ramp is another panhandler, a woman with a knapsack at her feet. Not too far away and in proximity to the city’s Walmart store are a few others. While panhandlers have always peddled their sympathy in Piqua, city officials say the numbers of those soliciting money in public is becoming a growing con-

City ordinance examined BY WILL E SANDERS Staff Writer wsanders@civitasmedia.com PIQUA — An ordinance passed in 2010 by Piqua City Commission aimed at addressing and enforcing panhandling is receiving new attention since a noticeable rise of panhandlers has been reported and could result in revisions being made to the ordinance, which is a move supported by the city’s police chief. Here is a closer look at the cern. So are panhandlers in Piqua a real problem? Piqua Police Chief Bruce Jamison tends to think so. “Whether or not we have a problem is very subjective,” he

Obama looking to turn page on his first term Private swearing-in slated Sunday before inauguration Monday WASHINGTON (AP) President Barack Obama has been looking to historians for guidance on how to shape his second inaugural’s words into a speech for the ages, eager to make good use of his twice-in-a-lifetime opportunity to command the world’s attention. He will take the oath of office Sunday in an intimate White House ceremony witnessed by family, and then again Monday at the Capitol before a crowd of hundreds of thousands on the National Mall.

Washington will also play host to the traditional inaugural parade and formal balls Monday, as well as a day of service Saturday that kicks off the festivities. But it’s Obama’s inaugural address that will be the centerpiece of the three-day affair. The president will seek to turn the page on a first term consumed by economic turmoil and set an optimistic tone for four more years that will help define his legacy. The president has been working on his speech since early December, writing out draft after See Obama/Page 2

Visitors to the Miami Valley Centre Mall noticed this week that signs have been erected at the Buffalo Wings & Rings restaurant under construction just off the Ash Street entrance. Franchise owner Todd Fetter said Friday night the restaurant is expected to open sometime during the first two weeks of March. A job fair for Buffalo Wings & Rings will be held from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday at the mall food court. Fetter said strong interest has been received from prospective employees.

Obama Continued from page 1 draft on yellow legal pads, aides say. He’s read several second-term inaugural addressed delivered by his predecessors. And last week, he invited a small group of historians to the White House to discuss the potential and the pitfalls of second-term inaugurals. Heading into his speech, Obama does have history on his mind, particularly two of the great American leaders he most deeply admires, Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King Jr. The start of Obama’s second term coincides with the 150th anniversary of Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation and the 50th anniversary of King’s March on Washington, and he has chosen to take the public oath with his hand on both their bibles stacked together. “Their actions, the movements they represented are the only reason it’s possible for me to be inaugurated,” Obama said of Lincoln and King in a video

released Friday by the Presidential Inaugural Committee. “It’s also a reminder for me that this country has gone through very tough times before but we always come out on the other side.” Aides say the president will touch on some of the challenges he’ll take on in a second term but won’t delve deeply into the policy objectives he’ll tackle in the next four years. Those details will be saved for his Feb. 12 State of the Union address. But the tone and theme of Monday’s speech will set the stage for the policy fights to come. Obama may in some way to reference the Connecticut elementary school shooting that pushed gun control to the top of his agenda. He may also speak of a need to tackle comprehensive immigration reform, another second-term priority, and to bring U.S. troops home from Afghanistan. Obama’s speech won’t be overly political.

Additionally, solicitors shall not make any solicitation where solicitors are notified by sign that peddling or soliciting is prohibited. • A variety of prohibited acts are listed in the ordinance, such as solicitors can not knock on doors or ring door bells of homes, apartments or buildings displaying no solicitation signs. Likewise, they are barred from shouting, crying out, honking a horn, ringing a bell, or using another sound device in the city where the sound is of sufficient volume. • Other restrictions disallow a panhandler from stating “the donation is needed to meet a specific need, when the solicitor already has sufficient funds to meet that need and does not disclose that fact,” or “stating the donation is

needed to meet a need which does not exist.” They are further prohibited from stating they are out of town or stranded when it is untrue. Likewise, they are prohibited from “wearing a military uniform … when the solicitor is neither a present nor former member of the service indicated,” or acting disabled when they are not. The ordinance also addresses that panhandlers can not use makeup or a device to simulate “any deformity.” • A solicitor is not allowed to state he or she is homeless when he or she is not. • Panhandling is not allowed “after sunset or before sunrise.” • Panhandlers must not do so at any bus stop; from any public transportation vehicle or facility; any vehicle within the public rightof-way; 20 feet from the entrance or exit of a bank,

savings and loan association, credit union, checkcashing business or ATMs; or on private property. • Panhandlers also must act in accordance with certain manners listed in the ordinance, which include: coming within three feet of a person who does not wish to make a donation; blocking the path of a pedestrian or motorist walking or driving away from a panhandler; following a person; making unreasonable noise or using offensively coarse language; and panhandling in a group of two or more people is prohibited. • Violators of the ordinance “shall be deemed guilty of a minor misdemeanor” and shall be fined not more than $100. Each day’s violation constitutes a new offense. A second time offense is subject to being charged with a fourth-degree misdemeanor and a fine of not more than $250.

provements to the ordinance. As larger cities pass tougher panhandling laws and aggressive enforcement those who panhandle have started moving from larger cities to smaller communities located off the interstate. Jamison said he encourages a comprehensive approach, coming up with a law and enforcing it. He said one way to han-

dle panhandling would be for people to stop giving them money. “The fact that there are so many of them tells me there are lots of people giving money to them,” the police chief said. “If nobody gave them any money it would stop, but some people have such a big heart that they can’t do that.” For such people Jamison said there are plenty of charitable organizations in

Certain felony crimes might prohibit a solicitor from obtaining such a permit. • Those who receive a panhandling or solicitors permit must display it in “plain view on the front of the person at all times,” and those who have had their registration revoked shall not be permitted to panhandle in the city for two years following the revocation. • Certificates issued to a panhandler or solicitor costs $15 and all certificates shall expire on the date specified on the certificate, which shall not exceed 12 months. • Those who obtain a certificate are barred from making “any false, fraudulent, misleading or decep-

HUD first introduced the Continuum of Care concept, according to its official website. HUD details that the point-in-time count is a onenight count of each continuum’s sheltered and unsheltered homeless populations, more than 3,000 across the nation.These onenight ‘snapshot’ counts are then reported to HUD as part of state and local grant applications. On its website, HUD notes that while the data reported to HUD does not directly determine the level of a community’s grant funding, these estimates, as well as full-year counts, are crucial in understanding the scope of homelessness and measuring progress in reducing it. With this in mind, Holman said that the group’s latest count of the homeless, happening Jan. 22, will be more significant than ever before because the final numbers will have a strong influence on how much housing funding the county will be able to receive from HUD,

which reports the data to Congress. Funding is not only based on the preparation of applications, statistics and record keeping, but it also depends on the county’s success rate at getting families back on their feet. “If we say we’re going to help 24 families and we help 30, but 26 of them were failures, meaning they were homeless again, that’s not really a good outcome even though we reached our number,” FASMC’s Fiscal Manager Fawnda Cress said. Statistics show the count has produced results. From Sept. 1, 2009 to Feb. 20, 2012, Continuum of Care assisted 249 households and provided $77,930 in homeless prevention and $66,569 in re-housing, according to Holman. Both Holman and secretary Karen Dickey, who also is the executive director of the Mental Health Coalition, believe this census will make more and more people aware of this problem and direct the group toward eliminating the size of the homeless population in Miami County. The forms ask for participants’ gender, age, subpopulation (individual, family, veteran, mentally ill, substance abuse, HIV/AIDS, domestic violence, disability), race, description of their household, ethnicity and location where the person is

American killed in Algeria

Homeless Continued from page 1 President Barbara Holman, who is the executive director of FASMC, describes this diverse group as “people coming together to address the needs” of those who are and have been homeless. “Our focus a long time ago when we kind of expanded our continuum of care was to not only work with current incidents of homelessness, but to think of ways we can come up with to prevent it in the future and strengthen our community,” Holman said. As a result, this group does point-in-time counts, which are censuses done every two years to inform others on the numbers and characteristics of people without shelter on that current day. According to a report released in December by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Ohio ranked fourth in population increases for homelessness in 2012 with a total amount of 13,997, up 7.3 percent from 2011.

Ohio in Brief P&G donates toilet paper on behalf of $1M lottery winner HAMILTON (AP) — Charmin is providing some toilet paper relief on behalf of one of Ohio’s newest million-dollar lottery winners. Regina Jackson has vivid memories of the aid received from Reach Out Lakota when she was out of work for seven months in 2008. The nonprofit organization provides food, clothing and other necessities to the needy in Butler County in southwest Ohio. Jackson recalled after her recent lottery win having to ration toilet paper — only two rolls a month. So she wanted to donate cash to the nonprofit for toilet paper. The Cincinnati Enquirer reports that Procter & Gamble Co. executives saw her comments and will donate 5,000 Charmin rolls. Reach Out Lakota gave out 5,500 rolls last year. That mean’s Jackson’s $5,000 donation will go to food and clothing instead.

Smoking near oxygen tank probed as fire cause YOUNGSTOWN (AP) — Authorities are investigating whether a northeast Ohio man smoking a cigarette near his oxygen tank sparked a house fire that claimed his life. Fire officials said the Thursday afternoon blaze in Youngstown destroyed the 1 ½-story house and killed 53-year-old Mike Fergus. The (Youngstown) Vindicator reports that Fergus was found dead by firefighters just a few feet away from his front door, near where the fire started. He was connected to an oxygen tank.

The victim’s brother, who also lived at the home, was sleeping in the rear of the house and was able to get out safely. John Fergus told fire investigators that his brother was a smoker and on oxygen for a medical condition.

Former Ohio candidate admits election wrongdoing COLUMBUS (AP) — A former Democratic candidate for state auditor has admitted falsifying election documents. The Columbus Dispatch reports that former Mahoning County treasurer John Reardon pleaded guilty this week to two misdemeanor charges of election falsification. Prosecutors said he listed false loans from his supporters to improve the image of his campaign coffers in 2006. He was sentenced to five years of probation and ordered to pay a $1,000 fine. Reardon repeatedly denied wrongdoing in multiple interviews with FBI investigators. In court he said he believed at the time that his reports were filed properly but now accepts responsibility for what he called a "mistake." Reardon eventually dropped out of the race and received $50,000 from the state party.

Take time to help those in need ne of the things that I hear most often when someone offers an opinion as to what they would like to read in our paper, is a comment to the effect, “I would like to see more good news printed in your paper.” Unfortunately, a majority of news stories seem to be about someone running afoul of the law or a tragedy of some sort. Most of us who work or live in and around Piqua, have heard directly, or indirectly, about several area residents who are undergoing life-changing health issues. We have run stories related to three of these. Local resident and highly-talented musician Bob Comstock recently suffered multiple strokes which have left him facing challenges as he fights to regain speech and mobility. Dylan Blair and Mickayla Nelson are two local children who are fighting serious cases of cancer. I am certain there are other area residents who are, or who have family members, facing serious health issues, as well. These stories would certainly fall into the “bad news” category. We, as friends, neighbors or relatives of these troubled families have an opportunity to put a goodnews label on each of these stories. There are fund-raising events and benefits on tap and available for Bob, Dylan and Mickaya — and, of course, their families. MIKE ULLERY We have all faced a realization from time to Chief Photographer time, that when we are feeling sorry for ourselves or our situation, we don’t have to look far to find someone whose situation is more dire than our own. I urge everyone to take some time out of your busy schedule to participate and donate to these people who need not only our support, but also our continued prayers, as they and their families fight to overcome adversity that many of us could never know. I attended the annual Piqua Area Chamber of Commerce meeting this week. Awards were given to several worthy residents. I was struck by the fact that Piqua is full of people who are not afraid to give back to their community. If ever there was a time to give back, now is that time. Our community is like family. When one person is in genuine need of support, we can all pitch in a little to help relieve some of the stress. I don’t believe that anyone is asking for a huge sacrifice on anyone’s part. All they are asking is that we all pitch in to help some friends who could use a helping hand at this time. Information on all three of our neighbors-in-need is available on Facebook. A benefit, Do It for Dylan, is being held today at the Bradford Community Club, 154 1/2 N. Miami St., in Bradford. A week from today, a event to help offset expenses for Bob Comstock is being held at the Covington Eagles. For continuing efforts to assist Mickayla Nelson, go to Prayers for Mickayla of Facebook. We are bombarded with television adds to save everything from dogs to earthworms. I doubt that a nickel out of every dollar donated ever finds its way to actually assist as intended. Here is a chance to help — locally. Here is an opportunity to do something good for your neighbors. And no matter if you can attend or donate, I hope that we all take some time each day to pray Bob, for Dyan and for Mickayla … and for all who could use a little intervention from above.

The Usual Eccentric

We all live in a Yellow Submarine

WASHINGTON — In an unprecedented move, President Barack Obama’s vaunted political organization is being turned into a nonprofit group funded in part by corporate money to mobilize support behind the president’s second-term agenda. Democratic officials familiar with the plan said Thursday the tax-exempt organization will be called Organizing for Action and seek to harness the energy of the president’s re-election campaign for future legislative fights. Officials said the group will be separate from the Democratic National Committee and advocate on key policy issues such as gun control and immigration, train future leaders and devote attention to local issues around the nation. The president’s 2012 campaign manager, Jim Messina, will serve as the group’s national chairman, and White House official Jon Carson is leaving the administration to become its executive director. The officials said the organization plans to accept donations from individuals and corporations and disclose their identities but not take money from lobbyists and political action committees, a move in line with donor rules set up for the president’s Inaugural Committee. It will have offices in Washington and Chicago, the officials said. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the plans ahead of an announcement on Friday. Coming just days before Obama’s second inauguration, the move represents the first time a sitting president has ever transformed his presidential campaign operation into an outside group with the express purpose of promoting his agenda. Obama campaign aides and volunteers are expected to discuss the group at a conference on Sunday focused on the future of the campaign organization and the president’s legacy. The new Obama group was first reported Thursday by the Los Angeles Times.

ENTERTAINMENT 5 A very special mother leaves legacy of humor, love PIQUA DAILY CALL â&#x20AC;˘ WWW.DAILYCALL.COM

DEAR READERS: My beloved mother, Pauline Phillips, has passed away peacefully at the age of 94. Over the last quarter century Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease had stolen away bit by bit her remarkable intellect, but she battled her illness with courage and dignity. She was my best friend who can never be replaced. As those of you who have read this column when my mother wrote it know, Mama had a deeply caring heart, a lively sense of humor and a deep devotion to all of you. She tried every day to educate, enlighten and entertain, and to inspire civility and respect for others in the many thousands of people who sought her advice.

Saturday, January 19, 2013

Her days in the office were spent answering letters and calling people who were in distress. Over the years, her list of sources, friends and contacts grew into a Rolodex that was legendary. The demands on her time and travel were many, but she was a loving mother, loyal wife, a caring friend and wonderful role model. Mama was born on July 4, 1918, to Russian immigrant parents and was the youngest of four daughters. She often said that until she was 12 she thought all the fireworks were for her and her identical twin sister, Esther (Eppie). She always had an interest in and deep concern for other people.

The 65-year-old former governor of California returns to the big screen Friday as the sheriff of an Arizona border town tasked with stopping a Mexican cartel boss from returning to Mexico. It marks his first leading role since serving as The Governator for six years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I personally feel that this is entertainment,â&#x20AC;? said Schwarzenegger. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The other thing is a serious real life tragedy. I think that we are going to continue doing entertainment. That is what we are doing as our profession, but at the same time, we all have a responsibility, I think, to improve the situation that we are

in.â&#x20AC;? Schwarzenegger noted itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important not to stigmatize mental illnesses. He also cited parenting, education, security and gun laws as contributing factors to the issue of gun violence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We as a society have the responsibility to look at this and leave no stone unturned,â&#x20AC;? he said. Despite returning to moviemaking with â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Last Standâ&#x20AC;? and last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Expendables 2,â&#x20AC;? Schwarzenegger still wants to keep a toe in the political pool. He launched a think tank last year at the University of Southern California, the Schwarzenegger Institute for State and Global Policy.

She honed her skills as a writer by writing a letter to her parents every day and to her sister-in-law who had contracted polio and spent a year in an iron lung. I would like to convey

my heartfelt gratitude to my motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s devoted, highly professional caregivers, Jane Ebertowski, Rachael Reisdorf and Erna Hoche, who were at her side 24/7 for the last 11 years. They are angels on earth and brilliant at what they do. Please join me and offer a prayer for my mother. She had an amazing journey from Sioux City, Iowa, to shaking hands with

U.S. presidents and British royalty. Ask that her spirit be surrounded by the souls of the many individuals whom she loved and who loved her.

Dealing with sticky-handed guests DEAR ABBY: My daughter was recently married. My niece â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a talented artist â&#x20AC;&#x201D; hand-painted flowers on wine glasses for the dinner reception following the ceremony. They were intended to be keepsakes for each of the adult guests. The glasses turned out beautifully, and made each place setting extra special. I knew theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be treasured by our family for years to come. At the end of the evening, I gathered four glasses from our familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s table, then glanced at the bridal table of eight â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as some guests approached to offer thanks for a fabulous evening. When I turned around, the four glasses were gone. Not only had glasses disappeared from our table, but also from

the head table and from my nieceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (the artist). Those of us who had worked hardest on the wedding were left with nothing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and that includes the bride and groom. The following day, someone mentioned to me that they had seen certain guests leave with four to six glasses each. One woman even had her child, who was loaded down with glasses, make several trips to her car. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve figured out who the culprits were: some out-of-towners who stayed at the home of one of the groomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relatives. I heard that the glassware covered the entire top of their dining room table. My question: Should we ask these people to return the glasses?

Yoko Ono, Sean Lennon tour Pa. gas drilling sites BY MICHAEL RU BINKAM Associated Press MONTROSE, Pa. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Yoko Ono, Sean Lennon and Susan Sarandon spoke out against fracking Thursday during a tour of natural-gas drilling sites in northeastern Pennsylvania, warning about what they view as the danger to air, water and human health. The celebrities boarded a tour bus in

New York City and headed to rural Susquehanna County to see gas wells, compressor stations and other evidence of the Marcellus Shale drilling boom, and to visit with residents who say they have been negatively impacted by drilling. Tom Shepstone of Energy In Depth, an industry group, trailed the sleek silver Mercedes tour bus â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which had trouble negotiat-

ing an icy hill at one point and had to creep back down â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and declared the celebrity visit to be a publicity stunt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pay mortgages here, they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to get jobs here, they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to pay taxes here, they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to support their families here. They just come up here to pick on this area and use it as part of their trendy cause,â&#x20AC;? he said. Ono and her son formed

a group called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Artists Against Frackingâ&#x20AC;? to oppose drilling in New York state, where they own a farm and where drilling and hydraulic fracturing have been on hold for several years while officials there develop regulations for the industry. Local anti-drilling activists led Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tour in Pennsylvania, where thousands of wells have been drilled and fracked in recent years.

On the trump lead, East had to discard from the [S] 10 5 4 and [D] 10 8 5. A diamond discard would set up dummyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last diamond, after which just one more spade finesse would suffice. And if East discarded a spade instead, Eisenbergâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fourth spade would be good after the spade finesse was repeated. Either way, the slam was home.

Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hand features brilliant play by Billy Eisenberg, for many years one of Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top players. He set himself a very difficult task when he bid six clubs with virtually no encouragement from North. West led the king of hearts followed by the queen, East playing highlow to show a doubleton. This verified the evidence from the bidding that West began with seven hearts. Eisenberg ruffed the second heart and drew trumps, noting that West started with three clubs. Since West could hold no more than three cards in spades and diamonds, it was very likely that East had four or five spades, which in turn made him a favorite to hold both the king and ten. Eisenberg therefore decided to finesse against East for both of those

cards, but it was not quite as easy as that. The problem was insufficient entries to dummy. If, for example, declarer cashed the A-Q-K-J of diamonds, discarding a spade on the last diamond, only one spade finesse could be taken. Alternatively, if he overtook the queen of diamonds with the king in order to take two spade finesses, dummyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last diamond would not be good, saddling South with a spade loser at the end. Eisenberg found a neat solution to this dilemma. After drawing trumps, he led the queen of diamonds to the king. The jack of

Piqua Rotary Club honors ‘Pride Of Workmanship’ recipients PIQUA — Eight area people received the Pride of Workmanship awards presented by the Piqua Rotary Club at the club’s recent luncheon. The awards are given annually to those individuals nominated by a local Rotarian who meet the criteria of the award. Since 1999, the first year the Piqua Rotary Club’s Pride of Workmanship awards were presented, there have been 71 recipients. The Pride of Workmanship award is an acknowledgement of individuals “irrespective of age or vocation who, in the eyes of his or her employer, clients, fellow employees, or customers display out-

standing qualities in terms of approach, attitude, dedication, and commitment to his or her job, profession, or vocation in life.” The theme that has become the motto of this annual award is “Do it once, do it well, build a better Piqua.” Those receiving the 2012 award were Susie Brown of Crayex Corporation, Jean Heath of Upper Valley Medical Center, Ted Lawson of Craycon Property Management, Betsy O’Neal of Arabella Salon and Spa, Judy Ward of Allisten Manor’s Flower Box, Brian Smith of Piqua Auto Lube, Tricia Moseley of Upper Valley Medical Center, and Dylan Myers.

The Piqua Rotary Club was founded 97 years ago on Jan. 1, 1915, when it was granted Rotary Charter Number 135. This charter number means the Piqua club was the 135th club in what is now an international organization of more than 34,000 clubs worldwide. The mission of Rotary International is to provide service to others, promote integrity, and advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace through its fellowship of business, professional, and community leaders. The organization’s dedication to these ideals is best expressed in its motto: Service Above Self.

New You NEW YEAR Walk To A Better You Your time on the couch in front of the TV has come to an end, and you're ready to get fit. How you go about this journey is up to you.You could take a martial arts class, you could take up running, you could swim at the local pool, you could enroll in a dance class or you could simply walk. That's right. Walking half an hour on most days of the week will help you get into shape and stay healthy, and unlike some other disciplines, walking is easy and requires little in the way of equipment. Interested in walking your way to a better you? Read on! Before you get started, you need to take an assessment of your health. Do you have some health issues? If so, you should make an appointment with your physician to ensure you are healthy enough to start a fitness walking program. The same goes if you are over the age of 65. Next, you need to gather the right equipment. Walking doesn't require much, just some comfortable clothes and a good pair of walking shoes. You will want shoes in good condition that fit well. You may also want to purchase a water bottle to carry with you on longer stretches. This will ensure you don't get dehydrated. You also need to consider where you will be walking. Clearly you will want somewhere safe, such as a nearby park, gym or track. You can also walk in your neighborhood or on a local trail. If possible, try to find a buddy. There is safety in numbers, and having someone to walk with will keep you motivated. When you are ready to begin, go slowly. Always take the time to warm up and cool down to prevent injury. Once you have warmed up with some stretches, go for a brisk 10-minute walk. Do this every day for a week, and then tack on another five minutes onto your walks the next week. Continue to do this until you have built up enough strength and stamina to go the distance desired. While you are walking, pay attention to your stature. Are you standing up straight? Are your shoulders relaxed and your head held high? Are your abdominal muscles tight? When done right, walking can improve posture and slim the waistline. As you build your strength and stamina, you can pick up the pace and go for longer stretches at a time. If you are looking to shed some pounds, you will want to walk briskly for 45 to 60 minutes five days a week. Of course, keeping up the program could turn out to be the hardest part. Look to your walking buddy for support and just think of how good you'll look and feel within a few months!

Relief For The Stressed

Of the approximate 44 million caregivers in the United States, 61% are women. Most are middleaged with jobs outside of the home. They do whatever it takes to provide for their family and care for their loved ones, whether coming into the office early, staying late or reducing their hours altogether. Many wind up burning the candle at both ends, leaving them exhausted and prone to caregiver stress. There's no doubt about it. Caring for a sick or disabled person can be draining, emotionally, physically and financially. Add to that the responsibility of caring for a family, and it's easy to see why many women suffer from caregiver stress. The problem can vary in intensity, and if left untreated, it can lead to a host of conditions, some short- and some long-term. Anger, frustration, exhaustion, guilt and loneliness are usually the first signs of caregiver stress, Unfortunately, most woman are too busy to recognize them, much less deal with them. Many begin to suffer from anxiety and depression and become increasingly ill. They catch bugs easily and take longer to recover. Many also put on weight. All of this can lead to the development of more serious, life-long conditions, like arthritis, cancer, diabetes and heart disease. Recognizing the presence of caregiver stress is

the first step in dealing with it. Seeking help is the second. Many communities offer a wide range of resources for caregivers, from transportation and meal delivery services to home health care and counseling services to support groups and in-home volunteer services. Most are available at a low cost. Gathering support from family members can also be beneficial, especially with the financial aspects. Family members may be able to share the financial burdens, or at the very least, share the responsibilities. While one person might be the main hands-on caregiver, another might arrange for appointments and another for food and clothes. Classes are available to assist families in sharing the duties of caregiving, reprioritizing tasks and setting more manageable goals. There is no shame in asking for help, whether in the form of assistive devices or respite services. Women, and anyone for that matter, suffering from caregiver stress should check with their state's agency on aging and take advantage of all the resources available. More importantly, they should take care of themselves, taking the time to exercise and eat right and see their doctor regularly. Ill, stressed caregivers cannot provide the care needed for their loved one or their family.

Some nights, the ball doesn’t bounce your way. It was that way the whole fourth quarter for the Piqua boys basketball team Friday night and never more so than on what would have been a gamewinning shot at the buzzer. Xavier Harrison’s 5-foot runner bounced tantalizingly off the rim four times before falling to the floor as the buzzer sounded in Vandalia-Butler’s 3837 win at Garbry Gymnasium. “We couldn’t have asked for a better shot,” Piqua coach Heath Butler said. “We got the shot we wanted. I think it hit the rim three or four times.” Piqua had led almost the entire second half and Butler didn’t take it’s first lead after the break until Jordan Wiggins hit two free throws with 2:02 remaining to make it 35-33. Anthony Owens added two more free See PIQUA/Page 10

CASSTOWN — Neither team started off well. But by the end, Miami East was firing on all cylinders. The Vikings (8-4, 4-2 Cross County Conference) doubled their total from the first three quarters in the fourth Friday night against Newton, outscoring the Indians 26-7 in the final eight minutes to put away a 52-24 victory. But Newton (2-11, 2-5) played tough defense in the first half to stay close, with the score tied 6-6 after one and trailing 1612 at the half. "It was definitely a sluggish start offensively for both teams," Miami East coach Allen Mack said. "Neither team shot very well from the outside. And Newton played pretty well defensively and made things tough on us early. "It was a tale of two halves for us offensively. We moved the ball a lot better in the second half and were able to get easier shots as a result." Garrett Mitchell led the Vikings with 16 points, eight rebounds and five steals, while A.J. Hickman added 14 points, five rebounds and two assists. And Conner Hellyer — who was 3 for 6 from 3point range, with the team going 5 for 20 on the night — scored all 13 of his points in the fourth quarter. Bobby Gerodimos and David Brauer led Newton with six points apiece. Both teams are at home tonight, with Miami East hosting Twin Valley South in its third CCC game of the week, while Newton hosts Stivers.

Pats too much for Buccs Covington falls to unbeaten Tri-Village COVINGTON — There's a reason Tri-Village is unbeaten on the season and Covington found out first hand in a 53-28 defeat on the Buccs' home floor. "They're good," said Covington coach Matt Pond of Tri-Village. "The Pipenger kids is a nice player and he definitely makes them go." And it was Pipenger that got Tri-Village rolling at the outset, scoring 11 of his game-high 20 points in the opening frame to spark a 16-6 advantage for the visitors. The Tri-Village senior

and returning CCC Player of the Year then got his teammates involved as the Patriots surged to a 30-16 at the break. "We made one free throw in the first half," said Pond. "If we make our free throws we are only down eight or nine at halftime. We just didn't shoot well tonight." And the shooting struggles for Covington continued in the second half despite an impressive defensive effort against the high-scoring Patriots. The Buccs held Tri-Village to 23 second half points, but only managed

a total of 12 points of their own. "Defensively, we played pretty well," Pond said. "We held them well under their season average, but it wasn't enough." That's because Covington had trouble finding the bottom of the net. The Buccs converted on just 12 of 38 shots from the floor, including one of 13 from beyond the arc. Covington also converted just three of 10 from the line. Cole Owens led Covington with 12 points. BEN ROBINSON/GOBUCCS.COM PHOTO The Buccs will play at Houston tonight.

Piqua’s Xavier Harrison shoots the ball Friday night against Vandalia.

Piqua Continued from page 9 throws with 59 seconds to go to put Vandalia ahead 37-33. Josh Holfinger hit one of two free throws with 42.8 seconds left to get Piqua within 37-34. Butler was fouled on the rebound and missed the front end of a one-andone, giving the ball back quickly to the Indians. “We were down four with a minute to go,” Butler said. “You have to give the kids credit (for battling back).” With 20 seconds to go, freshman Colton Bachman cooly hit a jumper from beyond the top of the key to tie the game at 37. “Xavier (Harrison) did a great job reading it,” Butler said. “Josh (Holfinger) did a great job flashing to the basket and taking people with him to create the open shot and Colton (Bachman) hit the shot.” Butler’s Drew Makiewicz was fouled with 7.3 seconds to go and hit one of two free throws to set up the dramatic finish. After a Piqua timeout with 3.5 seconds to go, Harrison drove to the basket and put up the final shot. “We gave ourselves a chance,” Butler said. “We got exactly what we wanted.”

The game was close throughout the first half, but Piqua opened a 27-20 lead late in the third quarter after two Holfinger free throws, a drive to the basket by Dan Monnin and a steal and layup by Harrison. But, Piqua missed a golden opportunity to open the lead early in the fourth quarter, when they shot five free throws in the first two minutes and could only make two. “Free throws are a mental thing,” Butler said. Butler’s rally in the fourth quarter was helped by ice-cold shooting from Piqua. Before Bachman’s three with 20 seconds to go, the Indians were 1-for-10 from the floor in the quarter and 3-for-7 from the line. Vandalia, on the other hand, made four of 10 shots from the floor and five of seven from the line in the final eight minutes. “We had a tough shooting night,” Butler said. “But, the thing I liked was we did the things we haven’t been doing. The kids battled back, but the ball just didn’t fall at the end.” Holfinger had a gamehigh 11 points and seven rebounds to lead the Indians.

Piqua was 12 of 37 from the floor for 32 percent and 10 of 15 from the line for 67 percent. Vandalia was 12 of 32 from the floor for 38 percent and 10 of 13 from the line for 77 percent. Piqua won the battle of the boards 25-21 and had 10 turnovers to the Aviators 11. The Indians lost the JV game 46-30, with Bailey Lyons scoring nine points and Brad Hohlbein adding seven. Piqua has a week off before traveling to Sidney Friday. “With the holiday, we are going to have a nice little break,” Butler said. “We lost a five-point lead against Sidney the first time.” Piqua hopes for a different result — and some friendlier bounces — this time around.

COLUMBUS (AP) — Michigan State coach Tom Izzo knows that to stop Deshaun Thomas is the surest way to stop No. 11 Ohio State. "Thomas is shooting the lights out. He's been really effective," Izzo said during preparations for his 18thranked Spartans' home game against the Buckeyes on Saturday night. "We've got to contain Thomas." The thing is, no one really has been able to do that all season. The 6-foot-7 junior leads the Big Ten in scoring (by more than two full points) at 20.3 points a game. He hasn't been held below 14 points all season, and he's been between 16 and 24 points in each of his last 10 games. What's more, he actually likes it when opposing teams key on him, doubleteam him or throw some junk defense at him. "I'm a mismatch nightmare out there," he said Friday. "They go small, I can post them up. If they go big, I can go around them or pick and pop. It's sort of a challenge." Thomas was one of the leading scorers ever in the basketball-mad state of Indiana at Fort Wayne's Bishop Luers High. He brought that success to Ohio State, playing in every game as a freshman as the Buckeyes went 343, won the Big Ten title and lost in the NCAA regional semifinals. A year ago as a sophomore, he moved into the starting lineup and averaged 15.9 points while Ohio State went 31-8, won a share of the conference title and made it all the way to the Final Four. Thomas toyed with jumping into the NBA draft but decided to return. So far, he hasn't hurt his draft stock any. Always a fearless shooter, he has become a much better passer, defender and rebounder, not to mention taking an active role in leading the Buckeyes — who only have one senior on the roster, post Evan Ravenel. So when he trots down the court the first time and sees a box-and-one or is bookended by defenders, he chuckles to himself because he knows that presents other opportunities for his teammates. "(Opposing teams) just try to do as much as they can to put different bodies on me, to make sure it's a fresh body or a big body or a small body," he said.

"They do anything to try and confuse me. But I just take it as a challenge and try to take the right spots and hit the right shots." A year ago, the Buckeyes had two-time AllAmerican Jared Sullinger down low and wing William Buford on the perimeter. Then Sullinger left for the NBA after just two seasons and Buford graduated as one of the school's all-time scoring leaders. Now Ohio State tends to look to Thomas first to get things going when it has the ball. "Sullinger and Buford, they kind of played off each other and that really helped Thomas," said Michigan State's Travis Trice, an Ohio native. "This year they're running through him, so we're going to key in on him this year." Almost every team has tried; most have not been very effective. "We have seen a lot of different variations from switching to not switching, to box-and-one, to trying to sit a certain way on him," Buckeyes coach Thad Matta said. "I give Deshaun a lot of credit. I think he's done a very good job of kind of reading the situation and playing off of it." The Spartans (15-3, 4-1 Big Ten) have regrouped after opening conference play with a loss at Minnesota. It's a security blanket that they have such a formidable home court in the Breslin Center, where they are 11-0 this season. Michigan State is 32145 at Breslin since it opened in 1989, including 165-34 in Big Ten games. In Izzo's 18 seasons, the Spartans are 247-30 at home and 124-21 in Big Ten play. Over their last 29 games there, they are 28-1. However, no one on the current Ohio State (13-3, 3-1) roster has ever lost there. In a must-win game last March 4, the Buckeyes escaped 72-70. They did not play in East Lansing in 2010-11, but the year before, they won 7467. Matta doesn't pretend to know why his team has had success in such a hostile place. Told that road teams are 5-0 so far this week in Big Ten play, he laughed and said, "Hopefully it continues tomorrow and then resets itself going into the next week."

TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — After nearly 38 years in the business, at age 60, Bruce Arians finally is an NFL head coach. And he's made it clear that he's ready to run with it. Arians was introduced as head coach of the Arizona Cardinals on Friday, promising to build a team that's "smart, disciplined, fast and physical — accountable, no excuses." The man who went 9-3 as interim coach in Indianapolis after Chuck Pagano left to be treated for leukemia choked up when he talked about his family, saying of his wife "this is our 15th move." And Arians moved quickly, saying he wants a staff assembled by Sunday. He parted ways with popular Cardinals defensive coordinator Ray Horton, who in a matter of hours was named to the same position in Cleveland. Arians will call the offensive plays himself, although he will bring in someone with the title of offensive coordinator. He said he proved to himself last year that he can be a successful head coach. "And it was fun," Arians said. "I got a taste of the blood." His offense, he said, will be as aggressive as he is. He believes that teams can turn their fortunes around in a hurry. "I'm a straight shooter," Arians said. "I don't come home with any bullets left in the gun. I think players respect honest and discipline, and we're going to work hard. They're going to be accountable, not to me, to each other. It's not my football team. Our players will decide how good they are. It's their football team. If they want to win, we'll win. I'll show them the way. I'm no magic man. I've never tried to be. "I'll give them the plan, execute the plan with passion and energy and Cardinals will be Cardinals — disciplined, fast, physical football." He wouldn't confirm reports that Todd Bowles, still under contract with the Philadelphia Eagles, would be his defensive coordinator in Arizona, but he certainly spoke highly of him. "Obviously, he's very dear to me," Arians said. "He was one of my captains at Temple (where Arians was head coach for five years). “He's got a bunch of Super Bowl rings as a player and he's a hell of a football coach. That's all I can say." Arians' long history in the sport — he coached for Bear Bryant, for heaven's sake — has made him appreciate finally getting a head coaching job, although his stint in place of Pagano taught him once and for all "that I can do it." "I didn't know if it would ever happen, and I was fine without it," he said. "It's been just a great journey, the relationships I've built over the years." Pagano said the Cardinals are getting "a great coach but a better man." Arians famously left the light on in Pagano's office while the coach battled leukemia, and said he wept in his car when Pagano returned to work on Christmas Eve and, when he went home for the night, turned the light out. "What he did in my absence was truly remarkable. I am forever in debt to Bruce," Pagano said.

Browns name Horton DC Add Lombardi to front office BEREA (AP) — The Browns have named Ray Horton their new defensive coordinator. Horton spent the past two seasons with the Arizona Cardinals, who ranked second in the NFL in interceptions and thirddown efficiency. Horton has 19 years of experience as a pro assistant. Before he went to Arizona, Horton spent seven seasons with Pittsburgh. He played 10 years as a defensive back in the league. Horton replaces Dick Jauron, who was not retained by new Cleveland coach Rob Chudzinski. Horton "will work very well with the young nucleus of players we have on defense," Chudzinski said. On Thursday, former San Diego coach Norv Turner was named the Browns' new offensive coordinator. The Browns also interviewed the 52-year-old Horton for their head coaching vacancy before naming Chudzinski their sixth coach since 1999. ■ Earlier on Friday, Michael Lombardi came back to the Browns as unpopular as the day he left. He realizes there are Cleveland fans who still despise him and Bill Belichick for releasing popular quarterback Bernie Kosar in 1993. Lombardi knows there are skeptics who question his ability to evaluate talent after failed drafts in Oakland. He understands the doubts about him jumping back into a front office after five years on TV. Lombardi can't change the past, so he's moving forward. "I'm just asking for a fair and honest chance," he said. Lombardi, who most recently worked as an analyst for NFL Network, was introduced as Cleveland's new vice president of player personnel on Friday, a hiring met with mostly disapproval by many Browns fans who associate him with those dark days in the mid1990s before former owner Art Modell moved the franchise to Baltimore. Lombardi is aware of the negativity surrounding his return. The only thing he can do to change people's minds is help build the Browns into a consistent winner. "Look," he said. "There

is a great passion for football in this town. To me, whether it was a positive reaction or a negative reaction, the reaction is important because that's how important football is. It's my job to prove the reaction to be positive. It's not anybody else's. I take the responsibility to work hard at my craft and do it." The 53-year-old Lombardi laughed when he was asked if the less-thanreception enthusiastic bothered him. "I have thick skin," he said. "I worked for Al Davis. I've been ripped before." He last worked in the NFL in 2007, the final of his eight years working under Davis, Oakland's maverick owner whose phone conversations with Lombardi never began with a 'hello' or ended with 'goodbye.' Lombardi ran the Raiders' personnel department and helped the team win three AFC titles and make one Super Bowl. Before joining Oakland, he spent two seasons in Philadelphia working with new Browns CEO Joe Banner, who knew his decision to bring Lombardi to Cleveland would be met with criticism. Banner, though, believes Lombardi will be a perfect complement to owner Jimmy Haslam and new Browns coach Rob Chudzinski. "Listen, I understand that I'm going out on the limb myself by hiring Mike," Banner said. "So I didn't do this casually. I've spent a lot of time talking to him about everything that matters before I put him in front of Jimmy or Chud. Time will tell if it's right or wrong, but I made (the choice) confidently and with my eyes open about the perceptions, about the realities, about my own time I spent with him. "I feel comfortable with it." Haslam said he consulted with "people at the very top of the NFL business" before he and Banner began their search for a new general manager or personnel director. Haslam said Lombardi, who has 22 years of pro front office experience, received high praise. "Everyone of them said this," Haslam said. "'If you can get Mike Lombardi to be your general manager, you should hire him immediately.'"

Covington’s Jordan Wolfe closes in on one of his two pins Thursday night.

Short-handed Buccs split tri Covington wrestlers beat Northridge, give Coldwater battle — COVINGTON There's no better way to prepare for the upcoming OHSAA Duals than to face quality opposition, which is what the Covington Buccaneers did Thursday night by hosting Coldwater and Northridge. And despite missing of their top three wrestlers due to skin conditions, the Buccs had a strong showing - falling to Coldwater 48-33 and beating Northridge 64-6. Sitting out for Covington were returning state placer and 195 pounder Brian Olson and returning district qualifiers Brock Smith (138 pounds) and D.J. Jennings (145 pounds). Covington opened the evening with an impressive victory by Kyler Deeter, who defeated Brent Collett of Coldwater, a gritty and determined wrestler who made the two-time state qualifier and state placer for Covington earn every point he got. In the end, however, Deeter was able to use his slickness to capture a technical fall victory, 17-1. After earning a forfeit at 170, Covington's A.J. Ouellette made quick work of Coldwater's Corey Selhorst, pinning his opponent in the opening frame. Jordan Wolfe then followed with an impressive pin over Rob Cupp at 285 pounds to bring the Buccaneer crowd to its feet. The dual with the Cavaliers then proceeded to the lower weights as Coldwater picked up two straight wins before Covington closed things with a dominating win by freshman Ryan Ford at 126 pounds.

Covington’a Ryan Ford makes an ankle takedown of Jordan Obringer. Ford, who placed at Junior High State a year ago, controlled the action throughout in a 16-8 major decision over Jordan Obringer. Still, Covington didn't have enough ammunition at the end as Coldwater handed the Buccs their second dual loss of the season, 48-33. Covington then locked horns with Northridge and captured wins in all five matches wrestled against the Polar Bears. And the headliner of the evening came in the opening bout as two state placers took to the mat — Kyler Deeter for Covington and Josh Lyttle for Northridge. With the anticipation at an all-time high, Deeter used the emotion from the

hometown crowd to record a quick takedown and three near-fall points to take a 5-0 lead. The Buccaneer senior the pushed his lead to 7-1 by surrendering and escape and recording another takedown on an impressive scramble. The Buccaneer senior remained in control of the match by scoring on another takedown and locking up his opponent for three more back points to cruise to an 11-3 major decision victory against a very strong and dangerous opponent. Jordan Wolfe then followed Deeters impressive effort with an equally inspiring victory of his own, capturing a pin against Terrill Stevens — Wolfe's second pin of the night.

Freshman 106 pounder Connor Ryan responded from a tough loss earlier against Coldwater to pin Colman Jepson of Northridge, while Ryan Ford kept his impressive freshman capping rolling with a pin over Jonathan Pollard. With victory already sealed against Northridge, Jake Sowers dominated Kevin Mays in the final match of the night - pinning his opponent after a series of takedowns to close out a 64-6 win for Covington. The Buccs now look to get healthy as they host Milton-Union and Lehman on Monday in final preparation for the OHSSA Duals, which will be held Wednesday at Covington.

Lady Buccs drop CCC game to Blazers NEW PARIS — The learning process for a young Covington girls basketball team continued on Thursday in a tough road loss at National Trail as the host Blazers dominated the boards en route to handing Covington a 57-35 defeat. "They hurt us on the offensive glass," said Covington coach Gene Gooding. "That was the key to the game. When they missed, they rebounded and when we get hurt on the glass we struggle." And struggle Covington did, as the Blazers took a 16-10 lead after one and extended the lead to 32-20 at the break. "Yes, we are young," Gooding said. "But we need to learn to play to the level of the better competition we face. That means we have to realize that

every possession is meaningful." And the way National Trail closed out the game was proof of that. The Blazers continued to dominate on the boards, while Covington never could get itself back into the game — eventually dropping their fourth conference game of the season. "The thing is our guards played well," Gooding explained. "It was a fairly even game in regards to turnovers. The difference in the game was rebounding." Which is a credit to the strength and experience of National Trail. "Give them credit," Gooding said of National Trail. "They hustled, made plays and got the job done on the boards." Cassidy Cain led Covington with 15 points, while Jessie Crowell added 13 points. Covington travels to

HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE For Sunday, Jan. 20, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You’re never casual about money, which is why you might have some harsh words (briefly) with someone about cash or even something you own. Just be patient. Let it pass. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) This is a goofy day, so tread lightly. Expect shortages and delays, and definitely hold your temper in check at some point today. You’ll be tempted to be short with someone. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) On the whole, this is an OK day; yet something is troubling you. Something is worrying you in the back of your mind, and this will tend to make you impatient with others. Be aware of this. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Disputes with a female in a group situation might occur very briefly. However, this is so mild that it doesn’t have to ruin everybody’s day, does it? LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Difficulties with authority figures — bosses, parents, teachers and VIPs — might arise today. Not everyone realizes that the regal, royal nature of Leo needs respect. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Your attempt to have a little adventure today might be blocked by someone, which will, no doubt, annoy you. Just remember, everyone has a job to do. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Minor disputes about shared property, inheritances or anything you own jointly with others could arise today. This will pass quickly if you don’t make a big deal about anything. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Be prepared to compromise with others today. The Moon is opposite your sign, and today people are inclined to be impatient. Oh yeah. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) If difficulties arise with co-workers today, make sure you are part of the solution and not part of the problem. Use your breezy optimism to smooth over troubled waters. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Parents will have to be extra patient with children today. Sometimes kids will be kids, and that’s all there is to it. After all, you’re the adult. (Supposedly.) AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Work to keep domestic peace today, especially with female relatives. Anger serves no purpose except to make everyone miserable, including you. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) This can be a nice day if you don’t let annoyances get under your skin. Demonstrate grace under pressure, and everyone will be happy. Definitely you! YOU BORN TODAY You are bighearted, and you have a dry sense of humor. You know how to lighten any situation with your clever wit. You’re impulsive and easily make snap decisions. Basically, you are emotional, expressive and nurturing. People like you. In the year ahead, something you’ve been involved with for nine years will diminish or end in order to make room for something new. Birthdate of: Bill Maher, social commentator; George Burns, comedian; Melissa Rivers, actress/celebrity TV host. (c) 2013 King Features Syndicate, Inc.

Step one-two-three-four Once you’ve made your decision, you must make a written offer to purchase, a statement of your intentions to buy the home based on certain terms and conditions, at a specific price. Here’s how it works. An “offer to purchase” is a unilateral document that is not binding until accepted by the sellers. You may withdraw your offer at any time prior to written acceptance by the sellers and delivery of the accepted document to your real esImagine you’ve been looking at homes tate agent.

Kathy has earned the prestigious Certified Distressed Property Expert (CDPE) designation, having completed training in foreclosure avoidance and short sales. More and more lenders are willing to consider short sales because they are much less costly than foreclosures.
