COMING WednesdayCommission meeting

BY JENNIFERRUNYONFor the Daily Calleditorial@dailycall.com

COVINGTON – Accord-ing to SuperintendentDavidLarson and other leaders,there is an urgent needweighing on Covington Ex-empted Village Schools. Theneed concerns the district’saging facilities,andwhile theneed may be clear, the solu-tion is not.The elementary school

was built in the 1950s, themiddle school in the ‘30s andthehighschool in the‘70s.Anattempt to replace these fa-cilities was made in 2010when a levy was placed onthe ballot to fund the localshare of a building projectwith the Ohio School Facili-ties Commission. The levy,which was only on the ballotonce, failed by a vote of 473yesvotes to836novotes.Themoneywouldhavebeenusedforanewpre-kindergartento12th grade building withmanyLocallyFunded Initia-tives. A Facilities PlanningCommittee has been meet-ing to determine why thelevy failed and what would

beabetter fit forboththedis-trict and the community.The district still has the

opportunity toworkwith theOhio School Facilities Com-mission. Through this, abuilding project would be co-funded with the state cover-ing 58 percent andCovingtonpaying42percent.Many districts have per-formed projects with theOSFC; Larson informedeveryone that the OSFC isfunded byOhio tax payers.“When we see buildings

that are being built, that’sCovington’s money, andBradford’sandNewton’sandeverybody else’s.” he said.Larson and personnel

from Fanning and Howey,thedistrict’sarchitectureanddesign firm, presented facil-ity options to the communityThursday night. Larson saidthat duringFPCmeetings, ithasbeensaid thatan incometax may be better than aproperty tax.Because of this,both property tax and in-come tax figures were givenduring the presentation.Covington’s income tax isstraight rather than onearned income. All figuresprovidedwere estimates.

Option 1:Pay As You Go

Covington is the only dis-trict in the county that does

not have a Permanent Im-provement Fund. This fundwould be used to performneeded maintenance. Cur-rently, if a maintenance ex-pense comes up, such as abroken boiler, the GeneralFund is used. Larson saidthat because this money istaken out of the GeneralFund, items such as fieldtrips orprofessionaldevelop-ment training may have tobe cut. PI dollars must beused for items that will lastfive years or longer and cannot be used for salaries orsupplies.Option 1 would be 100

percent locally funded,and alevy would be needed to cre-

ate the PI fund.The PI levywould need to

generate $6,000,000 -$7,000,000 total or approxi-mately $285,000 - $475,000peryear.Propertiesare taxedbased on 35 percent of theirvalue. To create the neededmoney, a levy in the amountof3 -5millswouldbeneeded.For the owner of a $100,000home, this would equate to$95 - $155 per year or $8 -$13 per month. For an in-come tax, this would be aquarterpercent toahalf per-cent.A list of17neededmainte-

nance items was presentedat the meeting. Larson saidthat the money would not

come in all at once and theprojects would need to bedone by priority. The list in-cluded, roof replacements asneeded, complete asbestosremoval and abatement dis-trictwide, insulationworkatthe elementary and securitysystems in all three build-ings.“ThePayAsYouGo option

allows me to sleep fine atnight,” Larson said addingthat with this option there ismoneyavailablewhenaboilerbreaks or other maintenanceemergencieshappen.About 75 percent of those

questioned strongly dis-agreed that thiswas thebest

TROY —Thanksgiving is traditionally aboutthe gathering of family and friends to be thankfulfor what they have.For El Sombrero owner Ruben Pelayo and his

“Americanmom”JudyRose, it’s no different.For the 18th year, they choose to celebrate

Thanksgivingwith their familyand friends—thecommunity.The free Thanksgiving Day meal — offered at

the 1700N.County Road 25-A,Troy, and 1274E.Ash St., Piqua, restaurants— again will feature

family dinner. It’s our family, too,” Rose said. “Wesee a lot of new faces each year, but we also see alot of people come back each year.”Pelayo started the annual meal to honor his

mother,Teresa Martinez, who once a year wouldfeedanyone in theirAyutia,Mexico,neighborhoodwho brought a bowl to the door.He said he also is

thankful to his other mother,Rose, for her continued sup-port.“Without one of them, it

option for Covington.

Option 2:Newpre-kindergarten to 12th

grade buildingThis option would be

funded 58 percent by thestate and 42 percent locally.It would be one building forall grades replacingall threecurrent buildings andwouldbe approximately 125,000square feet of new construc-tion. The total cost is esti-mated to be $27.5 million‐ $28.5 million. Thiswould be 6.5 – 7.5 mills in aproperty taxwhichwould be$210 - $240 per year or $18 -$20 per month for a$100,000 home. It would bean income tax of 1 percent.After questioning if there

was a solution to the facilityneeds thatwouldalso reduceoperating costs, Larsonshared that with the “onecampus solution” savingscould be obtained by onlyhaving one kitchen, one me-chanical room, one electricalsystem, etc. and that whensomething is replaced, onlyonewouldbeneeded insteadof three. However, the realsavings would come frompersonnel. By reducing ad-ministrators and teachers,the district could save$200,000 annually. Larsonsaid the reduction could bemade through retirements.The majority of those

questioned strongly agreed

that thiswas the best optionfor Covington.

Option 3:New pre-kindergarten

to eighth grade segmentThis option would be co-

fundedwith the statepaying58 percent and Covingtonresidents paying 42 percent.Itwould includeanewbuild-ing replacing the current el-ementary and middleschools and would be adja-cent to the high school. Thebuilding would be approxi-mately 88,500 square feetandwould cost$20.5million.Some money would be usedto invest in repair and reno-vation at the high school.Toget this money,millage for aproperty tax would need tobe 5.9 – 6.4mills equating to$185 - $210 per year or $16 -$18 per month for a$100,000 home. For an in-come tax it would be threequarters a percent.Votes on this one were

nearly evenly split betweenthe categories. Twenty fivepeople strongly agreed thatthis was the best, 32 agreed,29disagreedand14stronglydisagreed.

Which wouldcommunity choose?Attendees were asked to

select which master plantheybelieved thecommunitywould choose. Option 1 re-ceived eight votes, Option 2got 23,Option 3 got 29 votes,

and None of the Above re-ceived nine votes.One person in attendance

said if she were being truth-ful when she voted, shewould have selectedNone ofthe Above. Many agreed.Larson asked, “Why do wethink that?”Theattendee re-sponded, “Because wethought the last one wouldpass and it failed so miser-ably!” Larson shared that hebelieves the levy failed inlarge part because leadersdidn’t educate the publicenough. He encouragedeveryone there to help pro-vide education on the dis-trict’s facilities needs.Healso shared that a sur-

vey of those voting no on thebuilding project of 2010showed that their threemajor concerns were theeconomy, the high school notbeing disposable and themiddle school being used forseniorhousing.Hewentontosay thatwith the current op-tions, the high school couldremain, the middle schoolwould not be used for hous-ing and the costs are lower.

Locally FundedInitiatives or LFIsLarson also shared about

Locally Funded Initiatives.These are items thatmaybedesired, but the OSFC willnot co-fund them.“We need to be careful be-

cause they can add upquickly, but we want to hear

what’s important to you,”Larson said.He asked the audience

howimportant itwas tohavea connection to State Route36. Thirty eight people saidvery important, 39 said im-portant, 11 answered not afactorand13saidnot impor-tant.Those in attendance an-

swered how important it istohave three separategyms.Twenty threeansweredveryimportant, 35 said impor-tant, 15 answered not a fac-tor and 26 said notimportant.And finally they were

asked, IfOption 2 is decided,how important is it to aircondition the high school?The majority, 33 people, an-swered important.

Next stepsLarson hopes the Facility

Planning Commission willmake a recommendation totheboard of educationat theDecember 29meeting. If it isdetermined that the districtneeds to be on the ballot inMay,theboardmust takeac-tion in January to file thenecessary paperwork.The presentation used

during the meeting will beposted on the district site,www.covington.k12.oh.us.Larsonencourages residentsto view thepresentationandcontact district leaders withquestions and concerns.

110 turkeys, while about 15more are usually brought tothe restaurants by commu-nitymembers.Othersmakecash donations throughoutthe year to help.

This year, as part of itsanniversary celebration,Or-dings in Troy raised $1,430for the annual meal, whichwill just about cover the costof the turkeys, Rose said.“We thank all the people

that help, from the volun-teers to the little boy thatcomes in with his piggybank to donate,” Rose said.Handmade items —

made by Rose and several

longtime volunteers — alsoare sold in the Troy store tohelp defray the cost of theannual dinner.The food will continue to

help those in the communitylong after the doors to therestaurants close on Thurs-day, Rose said. Extra food isdelivered to Piqua’sBethany Center and Troy’sSt. Patrick soup kitchens.“Every bite of food will be

eaten,”saidPelayo,whoalsomakes a meat donationmonthly to each soupkitchen. “Nothing goes towaste.”Rose said she and Pelayo

look forward to the day ofgiving each year and invitethe community to comeshare— and give thanks.“We have to give back

Write On!Encourage students to readwhat Benjamin Franklin hadto say about the nationalseal of the United States ofAmerica on the ThanksgivingTurkey Web page. Ask studentsto explain Franklin's reasoningabout the appropriateness ofthe turkey over the bald eagle.Then students can debate themerits of both birds (and otherbirds) for that purpose. Invitestudents to design a new seal –using a turkey instead of theeagle.

• Paper bagturkeys. Stuff abrown paperlunch bag withcrumpled newspa-per. Tightly tie theopen end of thebag, creating aneck for the turkey. Attach a paperturkey head. Tape or glue coloredfeathers to the flat end of the bag.

• Hand turkeys. Children can tracetheir hands on paper. (Youngerchildren can trace each other’shands if necessary.) The hand willform the turkey’s body; the thumbthe turkey’s head; and the spreadfingers, the turkey’s feathers.Children can add feet and color.They can also make a wholebunch of turkeys this way!

All About The TurkeyHow did the turkey get hisname?No one knows for sure

how the turkey got his name.Many people believe thatwhen Columbus brought theturkey back to England othertraders brought birds formAfrica through a trading routein the country of Turkey at thesame time. People thoughtthey were the same bird andbegan to call them "Turkeybirds."How big is a turkey?Wild turkeys are smaller

than those raised by farmersto sell in the grocery store, butthey are the largest game wildgame bird in America. Malescan weigh up to 25 pounds,but usually weigh 17 or 18pounds. Females are smallerand weigh 9 to 10 pounds.Wild turkeys are about 2 1/2to 3 feet tall.Domestic turkeys raised by

farmers weigh about twice asmuch as a wild turkey.According to the GuinnessBook of World Records, thelargest domestic turkeyweighed about 86 pounds.That is enough turkey to feed

over 50 hungry people, but toobig to fit in a regular oven.What do wild turkeys looklike?Wild turkeys do not have

white feathers like thoseraised on farms. Their feathersare dark brown and white.However, the most amazingthing about turkeys is thattheir necks and heads do nothave feathers and their skinchanges color according totheir moods.When turkeys get excited

or angry their heads and neckturn bright colors and mayeven turn red or blue.Turkeys have a flap of

loose skin that hangs overtheir beak, called a snood.The snood turns bright redwhen the turkey is angry. Maleturkeys, called "toms" or "gob-blers," have larger snoodsthan the female turkeys.Female turkeys are calledhens.The turkey's wattle is simi-

lar to the snood, but hangsbelow his chin. This flap ofskin wiggles when he strutsand turns bright red when heis angry or trying to attract a

mate.When the old tom turkey

wants to show off for the hens,he puffs up his feathers andfans his tail like a peacock. Hethen struts around to makesure all the hens notice him.Can turkeys fly?Domestic turkeys are too

heavy to fly, but wild turkeyscan.When a wild turkey wantsto make a quick get-a-way, hecan fly 55 miles an hour for ashort distance – that is as fastas a speeding car. He alsocan glide for up to a mile with-out flapping his wings.

Baby turkeys are hatchedin a nest on the ground andcannot fly for the first twoweeks.Young turkeys, calledpoults, stay with their mothersfor the first year.Using Thanksgiving

themes in the classroom tobuild academic skills addsvariety to the curriculum andteaches kids about culture andcustoms as well. Use theseturkey facts for kids to buildclassroom connections togeography, history, scienceand literacy skills.

After a very hostile election fought largely with du-eling television ads (207,500 just in Ohio), I cantruthfully say I feel relieved to see those Prepara-

tion H spots back on the tube (pun intended). I also don’tmind, at least for the moment, the ones with the man andwoman sitting side-by-side in bathtubs overlooking greatvistas.And if pharmaceutical companies are smart, theywill develop a new drug for 2016, to combat EF … Elec-tion Fatigue. There would be no shortage of names forsuch a medicine but I’d offer the following disclaimer togo along with it: seek medical attention if the political adyou are watching exceeds four minutes.Unfortunately a lot of post-election acrimony still ex-

ists and continues to irritate me. Bill O’Reilly of FoxNews said that those who voted to re-elect PresidentObama are those “who want stuff.” Rush Limbaughranted that these folks voted for “Santa Claus and whovotes against Santa.” Both seemed to ignore that the ma-jority voted, again, for Obama. But their comments arejust a continuation of the assault by Romney when hewas recorded before the election blowing off 47 percent ofAmericans as moochers. He now claims minorities votedfor Obama due to promises of “gifts” as if he himself wasnot promising anything to the uber-wealthy. His behav-ior defines hypocrisy.My wife and I have worked

and lived in poor andwealthy communities aroundOhio including the “Over theRhine” ghetto area of Cincin-nati, a poor rural area innorthwest Ohio, and a verywell off community in thesouthern suburbs of Dayton.We have witnessed first

hand the plight of those liv-ing in abject poverty con-trasted against those livingin McMansions. Neither of us can recall anyone poor re-joicing in their standard of living. But there are probablysome who, in the words of the O’Reillys and Limbaughsof the world, feel the government owes them.But this sense of entitlement, that the government

owes you something, is also very evident at the other endof the spectrum. In the news everyday are reports aboutsome business or industry getting any sort of tax abate-ments or other governmental goodies in exchange for thepromise of a few jobs. It’s expected, even demanded, withthe implied threat of jobs going elsewhere. Isn’t this thedefinition of extortion?McMansioners also have their entitlements such as

their perceived right to any bevy of tax deductions, loop-holes, and shelters or laughably low tax rates on invest-ments. The prevailing rationalization is that these folksare “job creators” whom the GOP says we need to revere.Steven Pearlstein from the Washington Post wrote a

great article in September called “I am a job creator: amanifesto for the entitled.” Following are a few of his ex-cerpts.“I am a corporate chief executive, business owner, pri-

vate-equity fund manager. I am the misunderstood su-perhero of American capitalism, single-handedly creatingwealth and prosperity despite all the obstacles put in myway by employees, government, and the media. I am ajob creator and I am entitled.I am entitled to complain about the economy even

when my stock price, my portfolio, and my profits are atrecord levels. I am entitled to a healthy, well-educatedworkforce, a modern and efficient transportation system,and protection for my person and property just as I amentitled to demonize the government workers who pro-vide them.”I am entitled to complain bitterly about taxes that are

always too high even though they are at record lows. Iam entitled to a judicial system that efficiently enforcescontracts and legal obligations on customers, suppliers,and employees but does not afford them the same rightin return”.I am entitled to a compensation package that is above

average for my company’s size and industry, reflectingthe company’s aspirations if not it’s performance. I amentitled to have the company pay for breakfasts andlunches, a luxury car and private jet travel, my countryclub dues, box seats to all major sporting events, a pen-sion equal to my current salary, and a full package of in-surance through retirement.”I am entitled to have my earned income taxed as cap-

ital gains and my investment income taxed at the lowesteffective rate anywhere in the world—or not at all.”I am entitled to inside information and favorable in-

vestment opportunities not available to ordinary in-vestors. I am entitled to brag about my returns. I amentitled to pass on my accumulated wealth tax-free toheirs who in turn are entitled to claim that they earnedeverything they have. I am entitled to use unlimitedamounts of my own or company funds to buy electionswithout disclosing such expenditures to shareholders orthe public.”I am entitled to contracts, subsidies, tax breaks, loans,

and even bailouts from government, even as I complainabout job-killing budget deficits. I am entitled to all therights and privileges of running an American companybut owe no loyalty to American workers or taxpayers.”Poor people mostly want food, shelter and clothing.

In the wake of MittRomney’s loss, manyRepublicans say the

GOP must make far-reaching changes to becompetitive in future elec-tions. White voters are asmaller and smaller partof the electorate, theypoint out, while Latinosand other minorities aregrowing as a percentage ofthe voting public. Unlessthe Republican Partyreinvents itself to appeal to those voters,the argument goes, the GOP can get usedto being out of power.There’s something to that. The elec-

torate is changing, and the RepublicanParty needs to keep up with the times.But the more fundamental answer to theGOP’s problems could be much simplerthan that. To win the next time, Republi-cans need to find a really good candidate.Just listen to the masterminds of BarackObama’s victories in 2008 and 2012.Two days after the election, the

Obama campaign held its last conferencecall for reporters. Toward the end of thecall, the three top officials in Obama’s re-election effort — David Axelrod, JimMessina and David Plouffe — wereasked what will happen to the mightyObama campaign now.What next for theenormous campaign infrastructure, withits massive databases and voter profiles?Will it go to a new candidate?“You can’t just transfer this,” said sen-

ior adviser Plouffe. “People are not goingto spend hours away from their families,and their jobs, contributing financiallywhen it’s hard for them to do it, unlessthey believe in the candidate.”“All of this, the door knocks … the con-

tributions made, the phone calls made,were because these people believed inBarack Obama,” Plouffe continued. “Andso for candidates who want to try andbuild a grassroots campaign, it’s notgoing to happen because there’s a list orbecause you have the best technology.That’s not how this works. They have tobuild up that kind of emotional appeal sothat people are willing to go out andspend the time and their resources andprovide their talents because they believein someone. … The reason those peoplegot involved was because they believed inBarack Obama. It was a relationship be-tween them and our candidate.”Plouffe is right. He and Axelrod and

Messina could have created the mostawesome campaign machinery in theworld, and it would have failed had thecandidate not been able to forge an emo-

tional connection with enoughvoters to win. Obama could dothat, especially with blacksand Latinos and young peo-ple, but also with a significantportion of white voters.Mitt Romney, on the other

hand, appears not to have ex-cited any big group. Yes, hewon the support of 59 percentof white voters, but there areindications that whites actu-ally stayed away from thepolls in large numbers. Over-

all, Romney won fewer votes than JohnMcCain’s doomed 2008 campaign.“The 2012 elections actually weren’t

about a demographic explosion with non-white voters,” writes analyst SeanTrende of RealClearPolitics. “Instead,they were about a large group of whitevoters not showing up.…The reason thiselectorate looked so different from the2008 electorate is almost entirely attrib-utable to white voters staying home.”Trende is not sure why so many

whites didn’t vote. Looking only at Ohio,he suggests many did not like Obamabut were turned off by Romney, or atleast the negative picture of Romney cre-ated by Obama’s attack ads. So they didnothing on Election Day.There is much data still to come in

from the election. But it’s fair to sayRomney’s problems stemmed as muchfrom his failure to appeal to white vot-ers as his failure to appeal to any othervoters. He lost because he did not con-nect to large swaths of the voting popu-lation.That’s where finding a great candidate

comes in. Romney is an able, accom-plished, intelligent and hard-workingman, but Republicans knew from thestart he was an imperfect candidate.During the primaries, GOP voters triedevery alternative possible before finallysettling on Romney. He remained aflawed candidate in the general election.Now, because of Romney’s loss, some

are urging that the Republican Partycompletely remake itself. Some arguethat GOP lawmakers must support com-prehensive immigration reform andchange positions on other issues. The an-swer, they say, is broad, across-the-boardchange.But listen to the Obama team. There

is a less complicated lesson to this elec-tion. Voters want to believe in a candi-date. If Republicans find that candidate,they will win.

Group seeksto maintainestate tax lawTo the Editor:The American dream

isn’t about working hard,investing wisely andspending sensibly in orderto leave something forUncle Sam. But farmersand other family businessowners will be required todo just that unless Con-gress acts to maintain ex-isting provisions of thefederal estate tax.When it’s time to meet

our maker, what’s left be-hind should be for ourkids, not the IRS. A TaxFoundation survey ofmore than 2,000 Ameri-cans rated estate taxesthe most unfair of alltaxes. Sixty-four percentof Ohioans supported lastyear’s elimination of thestate’s death tax.Nobody likes Washing-

ton double-dipping. Farm-ers and family businessowners have already paidincome, sales, capitalgains, real estate andsometimes even previousestate taxes on everythingthey’ve built over a life-time. A tax that exists justto tax again is just plainwrong.This is also a jobs issue.

Farm and family businessearnings are poured backinto land, buildings andequipment, which booststhe local economy, butoften leaves insufficientcash to pay the death taxwhen the owner passesaway. Heirs are forced tosell all or part of their her-itage to cover the govern-ment’s covetous tab,which results in fewerlocal businesses to hirelocal employees. Overlyburdensome estate taxeskill jobs.When a lifetime of pay-

ing taxes comes to an end,fairness demands legaciesbe handed down to fami-lies, not handed over tothe tax man. Please joinOhio Farm Bureau in ask-ing Congress to maintainexisting provisions of thefederal estate tax.—John C. (Jack) Fisher

This deal occurred in apreliminary match at the1991 world team champi-onship inYokohama, Japan.North-South were JeffMeckstroth and Eric Rod-well of theUnitedStates,pit-ted against Great Britain’sTony Forrester and AndyRobson.Meckstroth’s openingtwo-

which,givenRodwell’shand,had to be spades.Forrester led a low club,

andRodwell tookEast’sninewith the jack. The three ofspades was led to dummy’sking, which held, and thespade queen was taken byWest’s ace. Forrester thenfound the only return tothreaten the contract— an-other low club.With ordinary play, the

contract would now havefailed.After takingEast’s tenof clubs with the king, de-clarer would try to reachdummy’s good spades byleadingadiamond.ButWest

wouldwinwith thekingandcashthreeclubs todefeat thecontract.However,Rodwell hasnot

reached the pinnacle ofbridge success by makingroutine or ordinary plays.Reading the situation per-fectly, he allowed East’s tenof clubs to hold at trick four!This brilliant stroke effec-tively short-circuited the de-fense.Unable to continue clubs,

East shifted to a heart.Rod-well won and returned thediamond queen, ducked byForresterasRobson followedwith the ten.Rodwell contin-

among the presidents at the Madame Tussauds wax museum inWashington and will be featured in a new media gallery.Colbert is expected to visit the museum Friday to unveil a new

wax figure created to represent him. The museum says Colbertdonated his own clothes to dress the figure in a suit, tie, cuff linksand lapel pin.The new figure will be the centerpiece of a new media gallery

with a replica of “The Colbert Report” set where guests can sit next to Colbert’s figure behind his fake news desk.Designers from Madame Tussauds went to Colbert’s New York studio in June to take more than 250 measurements

and photographs of the Comedy Central star to create the wax figure.

Capsule review of new movie releaseBY CHRISTY LEMIREAP Movie Critic

“The Twilight Saga:Breaking Dawn — Part 2”— Finally — finally! — the“Twilight” franchise em-braces its own innate ab-surdity with this gleefullyover-the-top conclusion.This is by far the best film inthe series. This does not nec-essarily mean it’s good. Butas it reaches its prolongedand wildly violentcrescendo, it’s at least enter-taining in a totally nutsoway.

The first four adaptationsof Stephenie Meyer’s mega-best sellers about the girl-vampire-werewolf lovetriangle were, for the mostpart, laughably self-seriousaffairs full of mopey teenangst, stilted dialogue andcheesy special effects. Sure,they pleased their ferventaudience, made billions ofdollars worldwide andturned their three core ac-tors into instant superstars.But they weren’t what youwould call high-quality cine-matic experiences. Now, Bill Condon (who

also directed last year’s“Breaking Dawn — Part 1”)finally lets his freak flag fly.Here is the Condon of “Godsand Monsters,” the one wholoves lurid horror. Here is the Condon of

“Dreamgirls,” the one withan eye for panache. His final“Twilight” movie dares tohave a little fun — it actu-ally makes you laugh inten-tionally for once, teeteringon self-parody as it does.Bella (Kristen Stewart) andEdward (Robert Pattinson)are now married vampiresand parents to a newborn

daughter, Renesmee(Mackenzie Foy). With thehelp of the bloodsuckingCullen clan and vampiresgathered from around theglobe, they must band to-gether with Edward’s for-mer romantic rival Jacob(Taylor Lautner) and hiswerewolf buddies to protectthe half-human, half-vam-pire spawn from the eviland suspicious Volturi. PG-13 for sequences of vi-

olence including disturbingimages, some sensualityand partial nudity. 115 min-utes. Three stars out of four.

Turkeys are about to becarved, families sittingaround the table enjoyingone another and reminisc-ing about holidays past.November always remindspeople to look out for thethings they are thankfulfor in their lives. We findthe year zipping along andits sometimes easy to for-get all that we have beenblessed with.

Life is what happenswhen we are busy makingother plans. I don’t thinkI’ve ever heard a truerstatement.

Thank youfor the generosity:First thank you to Amy

Fashner and Jill Rank ofthe First PresbyterianChurch. Amy had the ideaand Jill did the leg work.Amy suggested that theBradford Resource ask forthe help of the high schoolto possibly Trick or Treatfor food instead of candysince the pantry was solow. Jill thought it was agood idea and since shestill has a child in schoolshe said she would askthem if this would be pos-sible. That was all it took,the school thought it wasa good idea and put thestudent council and the BCrew into motion and itresulted in well over 500items for our food pantry.We now know it will be agood Christmas for all inneed in our little commu-nity.

What a wonderfulthing, our town definitelyis a caring community and

on behalf of the ResourceCenter Mary Alice andDebby say a “great bigthank you” and we hopethis turns into a annualevent. Once again, thankyou Bradford you are trulya great place to live!

The Miami CountyFoundation awarded 103separate grants totaling$290,611. Richard E. Huntestablished the organiza-tion 27 years ago to assistthe county’s communityorganizations and schools.

Favorite encouraged theboard and McBride tourge teachers and staffmembers to continue to

rematch from last season,a game which Coldwaterwon 31-7 to open the play-offs, it was the same storyfor the Buccs. Covingtonjust couldn't move theball.The Buccs had only

HOMESTEAD, Fla.(AP) — Here's a tweet forBrad Keselowski:NASCAR champion.Roger Penske must like

the sound of that, too.The kid who stole the

show at the season-open-ing Daytona 500 endedthe year under the biggestspotlight of them all Sun-day, beating five-timechampion Jimmie John-son to deliver the firstSprint Cup championshipto Penske Racing.His first act as cham-

pion? Sending a tweet, ofcourse, from inside his car:"We did it!" with a pictureof the celebration waitingfor him."Always, throughout my

whole life I've been toldI'm not big enough, notfast enough, not strongenough and I don't havewhat it takes," Keselowskisaid from the champi-onship stage. "I've usedthat as a chip on myshoulder to carry methrough my whole career.It took until this year forme to realize that thatwas right, man, they wereright."I'm not big enough, fast

enough, strong enough.No person is. Only a teamcan do that."So, with the Penske or-

ganization behind him, hedelivered a trophy thathad eluded "The Captain"since his 1972 NASCARdebut. Although his mo-torsports organization isconsidered the gold stan-dard of open-wheel racing— 15 Indianapolis 500wins — and his empirehas made Penske one ofthe most successful busi-nessmen in America, hisNASCAR team has al-ways been just average.Then came Keselowski,

the blue collar, Twitter-loving, Michigan nativewho visited Penske in2008 convinced theNASCAR team could win,too.Three years later, they

hoisted the Sprint Cuptrophy together at Home-stead-Miami Speedwayfollowing Keselowski's15th-place finish Sundaynight."It's all about the people

in our organization andobviously Brad coming onour board three years ago,and we set a plan and westuck to it," the 75-year-old Penske said. "To winthis championship isamazing."Keselowski needed 125

starts to win his firstchampionship, the feweststarts since four-timechampion Jeff Gordonwon his first title in 93starts in 1995. Keselowskialso won a second-tier Na-tionwide title in 2010, hisfirst season with Penskeand the owner's first offi-cial NASCAR champi-onship.Gordon, who avoided

suspension this week butwas fined $100,000 byNASCAR for intentionallywrecking Clint Bowyerlast week at Phoenix,overcame the controversyto win the race in a 20thanniversary celebrationfor sponsor Dupont andHendrick Motorsports.It was Gordon's first

victory at Homestead,which leaves Kentucky asthe only active NASCARtrack where he's yet towin.Who did Gordon beat?

Bowyer, of course.And Bowyer's second-

place finish moved him toa career-best second in thefinal standings. Third-place went to Ryan New-man, who got his break inNASCAR with Penskeand spent seven seasonsdriving for the owner."He deserves this prob-

ably as much as anybodyelse, if not more because ofwhat he's done for motorracing in general,

NASCAR, his dedicationto all forms of race cars isprobably more than any-body else in the history ofauto racing," Newmansaid. "I know this is prob-ably one of the sweetestmoments in his racing ca-reer."Keselowski started the

race up 20 points on John-son, who blew a tire andcrashed last week atPhoenix to give Ke-selowski a nice cushionand needing only to finish15th or higher in the fi-nale to wrap up his firstchampionship. But thePenske team took nothingfor granted — not afterWill Power crashed in theIndyCar finale to blow a17-point lead and lose thechampionship.And this one got tight,

too, especially when Ke-selowski ran out of gas onpit road during green flagpit stops. It put him a lapdown with Johnson lead-ing, and Keselowski andcrew chief Paul Wolfefrantically tried to figureout how dire the situationhad become.Wolfe crunched the

numbers, figuring the No.2 Dodge would cycle out inthe mid-20s, a lap downfrom the leaders."I know the scenario,

and it's not good," Ke-selowski said.But minutes later,

Johnson went to pit roadfor his own stop andpulled away with a miss-ing lug nut. NASCARflagged the Hendrick Mo-torsports team and John-son was forced back to pitroad for another stop.The Penske team was

unsure if Keselowskiwanted to know what wasgoing on with Johnson."I've got a big picture

story if you want to hearit," a team member ra-dioed, then informed Ke-selowski that Johnson hadto pit again."Ten-four. Thank you

for telling me. We're backin the game. I got it," hesaid.It got worse for Johnson

from there. He broke arear end gear in hisChevrolet and went to thegarage with 40 laps to go,essentially clinching thechampionship for Ke-selowski."It all unraveled pretty

quick," Johnson conceded.No longer needing to

save fuel, and no longerneeding to play it conserv-atively, he waived offWolfe's playbook."If he's in the garage,

let's race," Keselowskisaid.That's been Ke-

selowski's attitude sincehe burst onto theNASCAR scene. He firstcaught attention as abrash driver for DaleEarnhardt Jr.'s Nation-wide Series team, and hewas unapologetic for hisaggressive driving and hisrefusal to back down inlong-running feuds withestablished stars DennyHamlin and Carl Ed-wards.But he's been calmer

and focused since teamingwith Penske in 2009, andhis mission has been togive Penske a title. Still,his fame has been for thetweeting, which drew himworldwide attention whenhe took to Twitter fromthe cockpit of his car dur-ing the red flag in the sea-son-opening Daytona 500.NASCAR loved the at-

tention it received, butquietly admonished himlater for having a phone inhis car, which is bannedbecause it can manipulateelectronic fuel injectionsystems. So when hetweeted again last weekunder red at Phoenix,NASCAR fined him$25,000 — which angeredfans who felt a mixed mes-sage had been sent.

series, then 11 on theirsecond drive, followed byfour yards on their third.For the game, Coving-

ton — a team which aver-aged well over 400 yardsof offense this year — washeld to 173 yards com-pared to Coldwater's 298.On their very first pos-

session of the game, theBuccs opted to go for it onfourth-and-1 from theirown 34.But record-breaking

running back A.J. Ouel-lette fumbled on a quickgive up the middle, whichwas recovered by Coldwa-ter at the Covington 35."That's part of our MO,"

Miller said. "That's howwe do things, we just did-n't execute.“If we don't fumble, we

get it. I'll never secondguess that, the kids un-derstand there are situa-tions when we need to goafter it. We aren't backingdown. We just didn't exe-cute there."Then moments later,

Siefring received a 6-yardtouchdown pass fromBruns to put the Cavaliersup 7-0 with 7:38 left in thefirst quarter.On Coldwater's next se-

ries, Covington's BrianOlson sacked Bruns for aloss of 10 to set up a third-and-17 from the 15. ButBruns channeled his innerBen Roethlisberger,fought off the pass rushand delivered a 30-yardstrike to Brody Hoying fora first down.An illegal-hands-to-the-

face penalty on Covington

put the ball at the 50.On the very next play,

Bruns found a wide-openSiefring streaking downthe right side for a 50-yard score with 3:38 toplay in the opening quar-ter.Ouellette gave Coving-

ton its first first down ofthe game on the openingplay of the second quarter.The Buccs picked up an-other first down on aquick pass from Trent To-bias to Kyler Deeter.But Tobias was inter-

cepted by Coldwater'sJosh Huber, giving theCavaliers the ball at theirown 25.Then Coldwater's dy-

namic duo provided an-other big play as Brunsdelivered a perfect pass toSiefring for a 39-yardgain.But when it appeared

the Buccs had stopped theCavs on a fourth-and-18from just outside the 20,Covington was flagged fora pass interference —which gave Coldwater an-other first down.A few plays later, run-

ning back Jordan Chapingave the Cavaliers a 20-0lead on a 1-yard touch-down run with 5:37 left inthe second.After the two teams

went scoreless in the thirdquarter, a Coldwater fum-ble gave Covington lifeearly in the fourth quar-ter.The Buccs drove down

the field, then A.J. Ouel-lette caught a halfbackpass, ran and dove in for a

10-yard touchdown with5:49 left in the game.The score, however, was

negated due to a holdingpenalty.On the next play, the

Buccs tried a hook andladder on a fourth-and-14,which was stopped fiveyards shy of the end zone.To its credit, the Cov-

ington defensive lineplayed well all the gamelong, putting constantpressure on Bruns andmaking him earn every-thing he got. The Buccshad six sacks.Brian Olson had three

sacks, while Cole Owens,Dylan Owens and IanFries each added one."He's a very good

player," Miller said aboutBruns. "He's got somevery talented receivers tothrow the ball to."Our kids got after him

in the second half espe-cially. I don't know howmany sacks we had, but Ithought we put up a heckof an effort against him.He's the real deal."Bruns finished the

game 17 for 26 with 224yards passing and twoTDs. Siefring added sixcatches for 145 yards.Ouellette led the Buccs

with 15 rushes for 69yards. He also added twocatches for 18 yards.The Cross County Con-

ference champion Buccsfinish the season at 12-1."I'm very proud of all of

our kids," Miller said."They have accomplisheda lot, and I'm very proudof all them."

MADISON,Wis. (AP) —Ohio State clinched onetitle, and kept its slimhopes for another alive.The sixth-ranked Buck-

eyes won the Leaders Di-vision crown outrightSaturday, beatingWiscon-sin 21-14 on Carlos Hyde's2-yard scoring run in over-time. Buckeyes safetyChristian Bryant batteddown Curt Phillips' passon fourth down to pre-serve the win.Ohio State (11-0, 7-0

Big Ten) is ineligible forthe postseason as part ofits punishment for NCAAviolations under formercoach Jim Tressel. Thebest the Buckeyes canhope for is to finish theregular-season unbeaten,then have the teamsabove them all lose atleast once to give them ashot at playing spoiler forThe Associated Press title."We have a saying, 'A

team that refuses to bebeat won't be beat,'" OhioState coach Urban Meyersaid. "Somehow, some-way."Wisconsin, meanwhile,

blew its chance to show itdeserves its spot in nextmonth's Big Ten titlegame.The Badgers (7-4, 4-

3) are third in the LeadersDivision, but they'll beplaying for a trip to theRose Bowl because nei-ther the Buckeyes norPenn State are eligible forthe postseason. No oneelse in the division willeven finish with a winningrecord."I'm sure winning in

Indy and going to the RoseBowl and winning therewould erase all the losseswe've had," Montee Ballsaid. "Because that's ourgoal."At least the Wisconsin

fans got to see Ball get themajor college record forcareer touchdowns in hisfinal home game. Or, partof the record anyway. Ballscored his 78th TD in thesecond quarter, tying themark set by Travis Pren-tice of Miami (Ohio) in1999.But he fumbled what

would have been therecord-breaker with 2:46left in regulation. Ballheld the ball in front ofhim as he leaped over thepile on the goal line, andBuckeyes linebacker RyanShazier met him withboth fists and punched theball loose."That's a dumb decision

on my part," Ball said."But I just felt like Ineeded to get the ball inthe end zone."And the Buckeyes felt

just as strongly that theyneeded to keep him out."We knew that he

needed two to break therecord," Shazier said. "Wewere not going to allowhim to break it on us."Ball finished with 191

yards on a career-high 39carries.The Ohio State-Wiscon-

sin rivalry hasn't reachedthe heights of "The Game"between the Buckeyes andMichigan. But it is not ex-actly warm and fuzzy, ei-ther, especially not afterthe previous two games.Two years ago, Wiscon-

sin ended Ohio State'shopes of a making a run atthe national title, handingthe then-No. 1 Buckeyestheir first loss at CampRandall. (Ohio State's2010 season was latererased by the NCAA sanc-tions.) Last year it was theBuckeyes stunning theBadgers, with BraxtonMiller dancing aroundlike a jitterbug beforelaunching a 40-yard,game-winning heave with20 seconds left.
