PIQUA — Adding a bit ofsparkle can help any commu-nity prosper, grow, and bring inbusiness, and one newly estab-lished group in the city is set-ting course for just such anaddition but need a little help.“This is part of a much bigger

picture,” said Don Smith, com-mittee member of the recentlyestablished Friends of the PiquaParks as he laid out an ambi-tious, sparkle-laden plan lastweek to raise funds for a splashpad at Pitsenbarger Park beforethe Memorial Day holidayweekend.“You’ve got to realize, the

parks make the city sparkle,”continued Smith. “There arespots throughout the commu-nity which really highlightneighborhoods, and the goal ofthe organization that we havehere is to make them all sparkle

in different ways.”The group’s efforts surround

the city pool, one such area inneed of a little sparkle, given itwas built in 1986 and has hadno updates since the installa-tion of the slide in 1995.“It’s about time we do some-

thing,” said Ruth Koon, chair-person of the group, who feels

Pitsenbarger Park has been alittle bit forgotten for as big andproductive as it is, and first onthe must-do sparkle list is theinstallation of the splash pad, asattendance at the pool has beendeclining for a number of years.“Significantly,” emphasized

Koon flanked by committeemembers Chuck Peltier, Edna

Stiefel, and Assistant DirectorPublic Works Brian Brookhart(Members Glenn Devers andAnn Debrosse Comer were un-able to attend) to speak on theircurrent efforts to raise $275,000for the project that will includetwo new picnic shelters and ashade area near the pool, alongwith new landscaping at the en-

trance on McKinley Avenuewith a lighted flagpole and astatue in honor of local war heroWilliam Pitsenbarger.The group hopes to have

funds raised for at least thesplash pad by the end of Aprilinto the first week of May to

BY BETHANY J. ROYERStaff [email protected]

PIQUA — It’s never too early to get a headstart on a future career, thus was the plan be-hind the first ever Career Day at Bennett In-termediate School on Friday afternoon asfourth and fifth grade students had the op-portunity to visit with, and listen to, a varietyof local business leaders.Those leaders included Jo Schmiesing for

McDonald’s Restaurants, Piqua Police OfficerJerry Fogt, Joe Hinds of the Piqua YMCA,representatives from Hartzell Propeller Inc.Mya Manns and Dave Ransdell, along withlocal attorney Frank Patrizio, John Strobleand Crystal Long for Cs and Ss LLC., and FOR PHOTO REPRINTS, GO TO WWW.DAILYCALL.COM MIKE ULLERY/STAFF PHOTO

“It’s a small event today but we’re hoping thatit grows,” said Bennett Intermediate School Prin-cipal Dan Hake of the collaboration between theschool and area businesses, all sponsored byHartzell, to bring not only a very unique event tothe students but also a great opportunity. Onethat showcased each business leader’s specificarea of expertise, how to obtain the proper edu-cation for their chosen career, and many behind-the-scenes details and information. Such asMinesinger explaining to a group of students inMrs. Dankworth’s classroom on how he has pi-loted a plane through snow and rain but prefersnot to do so in a thunderstorm.

“Thunderstorms are one of the worst thingsyou can fly in,” said Minesinger as he spoke onhis love of flying, the unique perspective it offers,his education, and having dealt with an emer-gency fuel leak. “That’s why we go to so muchschool, so that we can handle that sort of thing.”

Meanwhile, at the other end of the hall, JoeHinds, teen leadership director at the MiamiCounty YMCA, explained to the students how theYMCA was responsible for the invention of twosports, racquetball and basketball, and the manyother exciting jobs and opportunities that work-ing at the center provides.

“You get to do stuff you enjoy and teach otherpeople how to do it better,” said Hinds. “Or teachthem the sport all together, and that’s your job.”

In yet another classroom, Jo Schmiesing withMcDonald’s explained to her group a supervisor’srole within the work place that includes helpingemployees perform their work correctly. WhileOffice Jerry Vogt spoke on the education heneeded in order to become an advocate for theDARE program.

Local Board of Education member and area at-torney Frank Patrizio spoke on the need for en-gineers and the qualifications for becoming one,as John Stroble pointed out the variety of fire en-gines and their varied needs being met by hispaint and repair body shop business to anotherclassroom.

When asked about the idea behind the collabo-rative career event, school principal Hake statedit was something that had been in discussion forsome time until, “We just decided let’s do it,let’sget it started as the big push in the school dis-trict is on career and college readiness.”

This year the district already took such equalledsteps regarding careers with visits to Urbana Univer-sity andWright State University, so Friday’s event wasjust another step in helping area students discover anddevelop their careers.

Even the sixth grade students had a unique oppor-tunity on Friday, as they visited the Upper Valley Ca-reer Center to learn about different careers, too.

allow for a 30-day con-struction period.

The Friends of the PiquaParks have already begunto mail out fliers and willsoon be speaking and/orvisiting with a number oflocal businesses, serviceclubs, and community out-reach groups to ask for fi-nancial assistance andsupport for the project.Onethey see as having endlesspotentials and possibilities,as referenced by Smithwho has already garneredthe assistance of an areaschool for landscaping andconstruction work, whilePeltier has received busi-ness support in terms ofthe shelters and shadedarea.

“We’re going to take asmany avenues as we can toget the word out, to tellthem what we need and toask for support,” saidPeltier as he also an-nounced that the PiquaOptimist Club has donated$2,000 towards thefundraiser. “Anything wecan do, and the more the

better.”The more Peltier was re-

ferring to are plans furtheron down the road, as finan-cial assistance allows, thatwould see to awalking/bike path aroundthe perimeter of Pitsen-barger Park, an additionalslide for the pool, and newpool furniture and umbrel-las.

However, there is moreto the story or other as-pects as to why the groupis seeking to improve thepool and park.

“If we were to lose ourcommunity pool we’re los-ing a major asset for ourcommunity economic-de-velopment wise,” saidKoon. “Someone moving inor business moving in,they’re going to ask whatassets we have, and one ofthe questions could be doyou have a family pool?”

Brookhart agreed,“When families are lookingto move into your commu-nity, this is just one thingthat they look at, as kidswant to go to the pool andPitsenbarger is a spectacu-

lar park, it offers so manythings.”

The 65-acre park doeshave much to offer, withthe recent installment of askate board park, there isalso football, baseball, soc-cer and tennis, along withan impending communitygarden, not to mention itsbeing dedicated to a histor-ical, local figure.

“Our pool is on its lastlimb and I just don’t wantto see it go away,” contin-ued Brookhart. “I wantpeople to move into ourcommunity because wehave everything.We have alot of great things going on,we have new schools goingup in the next few years,some great things comingdown the pike for the cityand we need to keep thisasset. This is just the be-ginning of what I think canbe a spectacular pool. Itcan be huge.”

The Friends of the PiquaParks believe the successof their project lies in theconsistent support for sim-ilar projects from the com-munity. Expressing the

good fortune of having somany community-mindedindividuals who have do-nated time and again for somany things and that theimpending improvementsto Pitsenbarger Park helpsnot just a particular neigh-borhood but the commu-nity in its entirety.

The group urges anyoneinterested in giving sup-port to contact them, whileemphasizing this is not acity of Piqua fundraiserbut a Friends of the PiquaParks fundraiser. As thegroup is currently seekingtheir IRS 501(c)3 status inorder to provide tax deduc-tions to contributors andwill be applying for grantfunds where possible.

Seeing a huge potentialfor the park, the Friendsneed a little help.

“We need some help andwe’re hoping the commu-nity will support it,” saidBrookhart. “I’ve seen ithappen, I’ve seen our com-munity build a football sta-dium and it is atremendous asset to thiscommunity.”

There's a lot of hand-wringing aboutAmerican stu-dents lagging their foreign counterparts in mathskills. That should not be a big surprise, since

many of our political leaders aren't very good at math ei-ther and deny the realities that numbers reveal. Re-publican Sen. JohnMcCain recently labeled the extremehard-liners in his own party as "wacko birds," but thereare plenty of flaky fowl in Democratic ranks as well.Start with the Republicans, whose statistical stupid-

ity centers on electoral politics.A voting-age populationthat was 88 percent white when Ronald Reaganwon thepresidency in 1980 had dropped to 72 percent white lastyear, and that number will continue to decline.The GOPperformed miserably with racial minorities in 2012,winning 6 percent of African-Americans, 26 percent ofAsians and 27 percent of Latinos. Add a 37 percentshowing among voters younger than 30, and the demo-graphic trend is inescapable.Some truth tellers are trying to force the party to face

these grim facts. A reportthis week from the Re-publican National Com-mittee stated bluntly:"Public perception of theparty is at record lows.Young voters are increas-ingly rolling their eyes atwhat the party repre-sents, and many minori-ties wrongly think thatRepublicans do not likethem or want them in thecountry."At a press briefing on the report, party Chairman

Reince Priebus focused on this critical calculation:"Party leaders have to constantly remind everybodythat we can't build a party by division and subtraction.We can only build the party by addition and multiplica-tion."But themathematical myopia gripping the GOP base

was on full display last weekend at a big gathering inWashington called the Conservative Political ActionConference (CPAC).The prevailing gospel seemed to bethat Mitt Romney lost because he was not conservativeenough. And in defiance of Priebus' advice about thevirtues of addition, the True Believers took exactly theopposite approach, urging the party to purge itself ofany pragmatist who strays from theological orthodoxy.Two Republican governors who have sinned by work-

ing with Democrats -- Chris Christie of New Jersey andBob McDonnell of Virginia -- were not even invited toCPAC. In a speech, Sarah Palin lacerated Karl Rove, theGOP strategist who dares to suggest that the partymust stop nominating unelectable hard-liners. A strawpoll of convention-goers was won by Sen. Rand Paul ofKentucky, a serious candidate for president only to folkswho failed third-grade arithmetic.Former Sen. Rick Santorum spoke for many in the

crowd when he denounced "those in our movement whowant to abandon our moral underpinnings so we canwin." Funny, we always thought politics was about win-ning elections. But if the Republicans prefer martyrdomin the name of purity to victory, no one will cheer moreloudly than the Democrats.As for those Democrats, their addled arithmetic fo-

cuses mainly on entitlements such as Medicare and So-cial Security. The party's "common sense caucus," asPresident Obama calls its members, understands thatcurrent benefit levels are unsustainable and eventuallywill bankrupt the system.Moreover, the demands of anaging population will soak up a growing share of federalrevenue and make it harder for progressives to affordcritical investments in areas such as education, tech-nology and medical research.Sen.MarkWarner of Virginia recently warned fellow

Democrats of this numerical nemesis: "The longer weput off this inevitable math problem, the longer we failto come up with a way to make sure that the promise ofMedicare and Social Security is not just there for cur-rent seniors but for those 30 years out."Obama hasmade it clear during recent visits to Capi-

tol Hill that he is ready to consider entitlement reformas long as it is coupled with new revenues. But Demo-cratic "wacko birds," their heads planted firmly in thesand, are as mathematically challenged as their Re-publican counterparts. A majority of House Democratshave signed a letter declaring their "vigorous opposi-tion" to any and all benefit reductions. Sen. BernardSanders of Vermont specifically rejected Obama's viewsand embraced arithmetical ignorance: "Some of us be-lieve very strongly that it would be absolutely wrong tocut Social Security benefits."A few final numbers: Last fall, 25 percent of all voters

called themselves liberals, 35 percent said they wereconservatives and 41 percent identified themselves asmoderates. Clearly, neither side can win a majority byappealing solely to its base.Addition, not subtraction, isthe only path to victory. But too many leaders in bothparties have forgotten how to count.

the ball rolling with his remarks at aCPAC session titled “ShouldWe ShootAllthe Consultants Now?”“The Republican Party,” Caddell said,

“is in the grips of what I call the CLEC—the consultant, lobbyist and establish-ment complex.” Top party and campaignofficials join hands in schemes to walkaway with millions of dollars — Caddellsaid it came close to criminal racketeer-ing — while the GOP suffers at the polls.“In my party we play to win,” the De-

mocrat said. “We play for life and death.You people play for a different kind ofagenda ...Your party has no problem play-ing the Washington Generals to theHarlem Globetrotters.”Caddell’s critique was echoed by other

speakers throughout the conference, andfrom themeeting’s main podium, the con-sultant class took hit after hit.“Now is the time to furlough the con-

sultants and tune out the pollsters!” said2008 vice presidential candidate SarahPalin. “Send the focus groups home andtoss the political scripts, because if wetruly knowwhat we believe,we don’t needprofessionals to tell us!”“We’ve had the establishment pick an-

other loser for us,” conservative legendPhyllis Schlafly said, referring to MittRomney. “The establishment has given usa whole series of losers. Bob Dole andJohn McCain. Mitt Romney.”The two non-candidates most men-

tioned in the consultant hall of shamewere Karl Rove, the former Bush WhiteHouse aide who has recently formed agroup that he says will find more elec-table Republican candidates, and StuartStevens, the top adviser to the Romneycampaign. Stevens, Pat Caddell said, “hadas much business running a campaign asI do sprouting wings and flying out of thisroom.”And on and on. So here is a question:

Not to defend the pocket-lining practicesof some consultants, but do the qualitiesof consultants or do the qualities of can-didates themselves determine the fate ofcampaigns? What major failing of the

Romney campaign, for ex-ample, can be laid solely, oreven for themost part, at thefeet of the consultants ratherthan the man who hiredthem?

And in a larger sense,did consultants create theweak 2012 GOP primaryfield? Did they cause MitchDaniels not to run? Did theycause Rick Perry to implode?Were they behind Rick San-

torum’s dogged march to success, andthen his self-destruction over contracep-tion, Catholicism and other cultural is-sues? Was any of that the work of aconsultant?Ask the same questions about 2008 and

the McCain campaign. And in an evenlarger sense, did consultants cause thedamage to the Republican — and conser-vative— cause that came fromGeorgeW.Bush’s eight years in office?All of those developments were the ex-

clusive creations of men who ran, or did-n’t run, for office, not the people they hiredto manage their campaigns.Take Stevens as an example, since he

has been the subject of a lot of criticismlately.The list of clients whose campaignshe has worked on in the last 20 years,taken from his company’s website, in-cludes George W. Bush, former Missis-sippi Gov. Haley Barbour, Sen. RobPortman, Sen. John Cornyn, former Sen.Jon Kyl, Sen. Roy Blunt, Sen. CharlesGrassley and many, many others.Of course, Stevens worked for some los-

ers — Bob Dole is the most prominent.And he worked for some winners whocan’t be called conservatives — formerMassachussets Gov. BillWeld and formerFlorida Gov. Charlie Crist are examples.But looking at the records, talents, andflaws of each of those candidates, it’s im-possible to claim that their fates were de-termined by a consultant.In the end, some of Stevens’ clients sig-

nificantly advanced the Republican andconservative cause. Some didn’t. But theirachievements came from inside them-selves, and not their consultant.So yes, Republicans should look at the

way they run their campaigns, and whothey hire to do the work. But in the longrun, winning candidates win and loserslose, regardless of who the consultant is.Agood candidate has deeply felt beliefs thatguide how he runs— and how he choosesand uses campaign help. At the moment,the Republican Party has far, far biggerproblems than its consultant class.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) —A Minnesota woman at thecenter of a long-runningcourt fightover theunautho-rized downloading of copy-righted music said there’sstill no way she can payrecord companies the$222,000 judgmentsheowesafter theU.S.SupremeCourtdeclined to hear her appealMonday.The justices did not com-

ment on their decision. At-torneys for JammieThomas-Rasset,ofBrainerd,argued the amount was ex-cessive.The music industry filed

thousands of lawsuits in theearly to mid-2000s againstpeople it accused of down-loading music without per-mission and without payingfor it. Almost all the casessettled for about $3,500apiece.Thomas-Rasset is oneof only two defendants whorefused to pay and went totrial. The other was formerBoston University studentJoel Tenenbaum, who alsolost and was ordered to pay$675,000.The industry initially

suedThomas-Rasset in2006.Since then,her casehasgonethroughthree trialsandsev-eral appeals. The industrypresented evidence thatThomas-Rasset made avail-able over 1,700 songs toother computer uses via thefile-sharing service Kazaa,though the lawsuit targetedonly 24 songs.“I’m assuming that since

they declined to hear thecase it’sprobablydoneat thispoint,” she said.But she alsosaid she needed to consultwith her attorneys to deter-minewhat happens next.Thomas-Rasset, 35, who

works for the Mille LacsBand of Ojibwe tribal gov-ernment, maintained — asshe has all along— that shecan’t afford to pay.“There’s no way that they

can collect,” she said. “Rightnow, I get energy assistancebecause I have four kids. It’sjust the one income.Myhus-band isn’t working. It’s notpossible for them to collecteven if theywanted to.Ihaveno assets.”Thomas-Rasset added

that she became a grand-mother in June.The Recording Industry

Association of America of-fered to settle for $5,000when it first sued, and of-fered to settle for a $25,000donation to a charity formusic industry people inneed after her second trial.She refused both times.

NEW YORK (AP) — Injust four years,JustinBieberhas gone from fielding in-nocuous questions about hishaircut to denying that he’sin desperate need of rehab.Bieber’s grown up and intotabloid territory, with his re-cent troubles making somequestion whether he’s justthe latest teenstargonewild.In what could have been

his worst week ever, the 19-year-old pop star struggledwith his breathing andfainted backstage at a Lon-donshow,was takentoahos-pital and thenwascaughtoncamera clashing with a pa-parazzo.Days earlier,hewasbooed by his beloved fanswhen he showed up late to aconcert.Those incidentscomeafter

photosofBieberappearing tosmoke marijuana hit theWeb, and some headlineshave suggested that theultra-popular star is goingthrough a famous BritneySpears-stylemeltdown.Others suggest he’s strug-

gling with a more commoncondition: being a teenager.Donnie Wahlberg, who

was just 14 when New Kidson the Block debuted on themusic scene in the late1980sto wild fan craze, said he re-members the pressure andhard times that came withbeing a teen celebrity.“Justin Bieber’s making

mistakes that everyonemakesandhe’sprobably try-

ing things and exploringthings thatmostkidshis ageexplore, but the problem ishe’sgot50paparazzi chasinghimaroundwhenhedoes it,”43-year-old Wahlberg said.“Whenwe are 19 and 20,wethink we can take on theworld and we do forget thatthere is a lot of life left to livein front of us, and hopefullyhe’ll get through these timesand find his way into a longcareer and a healthy adult-hood.”Bieber, his manager and

his mother didn’t respond tointerview requests for thisstory. But the pressure wasevident in the days followinghis collapse backstage at theO2 Arena, as the Grammy-nominated singer wrote onInstagram that he’s sick ofthe “countless lies in thepress”and that hewould notbe heading to rehab.“I’ve accomplished more

thanI could’veeverdreamedof,i’m19and itmustbescaryto some people to think thatthis is just the beginning,”hewrote. “I’m a good personwith a big heart. ... All thisisn’t easy. I get angry some-times. I’mhuman.I’mgonnamakemistakes.”

Even mistakes seem likenew territory for Bieber:Since breaking out at 15 he’sseen five of his albums hitNo. 1 on Billboard’s 200 al-bums chart and nearly 20songs crack the Top 40. He’shad several world tours,launched a massively suc-cessful 3-D movie about hislife and made deals that in-clude his own dolls, nail pol-ishand fragrances.He’sgotasocial media presence thatincludes 52 million likes onFacebook and 36 millionTwitter followers.But does that leave any

time to be a kid?Nick Carter, considered

thewildest of theBackstreetBoys, was also the group’syoungestmemberwhentheybegan todominate themusiccharts in the 1990s, and herecalls the days when hegrewmad as an overworkedteen who yearned for a nor-mal life.“I remember getting tired.

I remember getting burnedout and I’m like, ‘Let merelax’ and you have man-agers, and the record label ...and then before you know it,the artist gets resentful andstarts to revolt against them

and that’s when you end upwith a situation like what’sgoing on,” he said, referringto Bieber.“In a lot of ways you’re re-

sentful and you’re missingout with your friends, yourchildhood, you see all of yourhigh school friends growingup ... and you’re like, ‘Oh, Igot to go back on tour.’”Vincent Herbert, the

record executive who signedLady Gaga and also discov-ered the teen R&B boy bandMindless Behavior andsinger JoJo at 12, said thatyoungsingersneedrolemod-els around them who are fit,and that theremustbe“timefor music and time to bekids.”“I think sometimes young

artistsget to that (frustrated)point because they’re youngand it’s a lot and it gets over-whelming. I don’t thinkJustin Bieber is at that mo-ment, I just think he had abad week. That kid’s a phe-nomenal artist, he’s such ahardworking person, he’ssuch a good kid,” said Her-bert.

This dramatic deal oc-curred in the semifinalround of the SpingoldTeams many years ago. Itfeatures a bad play by de-clarer that should have cost

him the contract, followedby a good recovery that re-sulted in his making thecontract.West led a club against

five spades,declarer playinglow from dummy. WhenEast won with the ace,South falsecarded with thejack. Had South followedwith the seven of clubs in-stead of the jack, he wouldhavemade the contract dueto a lucky lie of the clubsthat would have allowedhim to score two club tricksinstead of just one.East shifted to theking of

hearts at trick two, West

ruffingSouth’s ace. It seemsnormal forWest to play theace of diamonds at trickthree, but when he did so, itcost him the contract. HadWest led a trump or a lowclub instead, South wouldhave gone down one.Declarer ruffed the ace of

diamonds high, led thethree of trumps to dummy’sseven, ruffed another dia-mond high, led the four oftrumps to dummy’s five andruffed a third round of dia-monds. He then cashedthree more rounds oftrumps,producing this posi-tion:

South now led his lasttrump, and poorWest wassqueezed. Whatever hediscarded, declarer wouldwin the last three tricks.So South wound up mak-ing five spades after all --the hard way.

DEAR ABBY:My friend“Eden” recently told me herhusband constantly com-pares her to me. It came upbecause she asked how Iwas feeling in my firsttrimester of pregnancy, andI confided that I have beenhaving a tough time keep-ing up with my householdduties.Instead of sympathizing,

she said, “Wow! I’ll have totell my husband that, be-cause he’s always talkingabout how clean your houseis and how you cook dinnerfor your family everynight.”I was really hurt that she

was taking pleasure in myfailures. I also felt uncom-fortable that her husbandcompares her unfavorablyto me. It isn’t the first timeshe has mentioned how hetalks about me.I have distanced myself,

hoping things would getbetter, but when I see her,she invariably manages toget in a little “dig.” I’m un-sure how to handle this.We’re neighbors and havemutual friends. I thoughtwe were friends, but now Irealize she harbors someresentment toward me forsomething I didn’t cause.Help!

— NO CONTEST INMARYLAND

DEAR NO CONTEST:Unless Eden’s husbandstops using you as thecudgel to beat her downwith, you can forget beingfriends. A way to handle itwould be to talk to her hus-band and say, “Please stopcomparing me to your wifebecause it is affecting ourfriendship!”

DEAR ABBY: When-ever my best friend smellsa cough drop, she com-ments that it’s “rude” to eatone in public and that ifsomeone is sick, the personshould stay home.I would much rather

smell someone’s cough dropthan listen to coughing dur-ing an entire movie oropera. Some people mayhave bought expensive tick-ets to a show only to getsick the day before or haveallergies that cause them tocough. So is it rude to eat acough drop in public or not?

— UNBOTHERED INTEXAS

DEAR UNBOTH-ERED: If it was bad man-ners to pop a cough drop

into one’s mouth in public,more than a few largebrands would be out ofbusiness. While I agreewith your friend that if peo-ple are sick they shouldstay home, some coughslinger beyond the stagewhen they are contagious.I do NOT think that be-

cause someone bought ex-pensive tickets to an eventand gets sick the day beforethat it’s all right to attendanyway and risk infectingeveryone within “cough-shot.” The considerate thingto do is to cancel and ask fora refund.

DEAR ABBY: I have afriend in another state whohas been posting on Face-book about her diagnosis ofcancer. Her postings startedin October, followed bymore postings about delayafter delay in the treat-ment.First it was insurance —

she doesn’t have any. Thenit was multiple CAT scansand PETs. Now she’s plan-ning her own fundraiser,and I’m beginning to thinkshe has made the wholething up. It looks like therewill be no treatment untilafter the fundraiser, eventhough she claims the can-cer is stage 4. What do youthink?

— SUSPICIOUS INNEW YORK

DEAR SUSPICIOUS: Ithink that if there is anydoubt in your mind aboutthis woman’s character, youshould not contribute. AndI also think that if your sus-picions are true, your friendis planning to commit fraudand could wind up “recu-perating” in prison.

Neighbor’s criticalhusband createsfriction in friends

BY JOCELYN NOVECKAP National Writer

NEW YORK (AP) — It’s one of theenduring truths of American pop cul-ture: Superman is indestructible.Bullets can’t bring him down, and

nor can a less-than-successful Broad-way run. So while the 1966 Broadwaymusical “It’s a Bird... It’s a Plane... It’sSuperman” ran for only a disappointing129 performances, it’s back — for a su-perbly performed, deliciously silly, ut-terly delightful revival by Encores! atNew York City Center.And no matter what they thought

decades ago of this Charles Strouse-LeeAdams concoction, if you don’t leave thecurrent production with a huge smileon your face, sorry, but your heart maybe made of Kryptonite. Yes, that otherflying superhero, Spider-Man, may bewhizzing up to the rafters every nightat the Foxwoods Theatre. But this Su-perman, played with winning sincerityby Edward Watts, doesn’t need that hi-tech wizardry. He’s too darned charm-ing.Speaking of charming, let’s stop and

give a shout-out to the talented WillSwenson, who, as the oily, self-adoring

Daily Planet gossip columnist MaxMencken, exudes so much cockycharisma and comic verve that you justdon’t want him to leave the stage.What hits you first, though, is the set

by John Lee Beatty — a pop-art in-spired, comic-book cityscape of vivid col-ors. Everything here is meant torecreate a comic-book feel. At one point,characters stand before a series of dia-logue boxes, as in: “Moments later...”When Superman flies, it’s a tiny, card-board, one-dimensional version of theMan of Steel — funny in its simplicity,but effective, too.But it’s the cast that makes this

show really soar, pun intended. It’s an-chored by Watts, seriously buff in hissuperhero tights, but also sweet as hetosses off lines like “You look swell, Lois.That dress is nifty!” And, ladies andgents, he has the cowlick, too.Lois’ dress IS nifty — the ‘60s style is

captured neatly in the bold colors of hermini-shifts — but even niftier is thegolden singing voice of Jenny Powers,who displays the Margot Kidder-likegumption that we expect from LoisLane.As good as the central couple is,

though, the showstopping perform-

ances are in three character parts:Swenson as Mencken, David Pittu asthe nutty evil scientist Dr. Abner Sedg-wick; and the terrific Alli Mauzey as thelovelorn secretary, Sydney.Just watch Prittu, his mad-professor

gray hair flying, howl and preen his waythrough “Revenge,” the angry anthemthrough which we learn about Sedg-wick’s dastardly ambitions. As forMauzey, she’s the quintessential brassysecretary of musical comedy, with greatcomic timing, a perfect belty voice, andtwo juicy solos: “You’ve Got Possibilities”and “Ooh, Do You Love You?”The whole affair moves swiftly and

entertainingly, thanks to director JohnRando. Also notable is the choreogra-phy by Joshua Bergasse, from the Frugand the Swim performed by the top-notch ensemble, to the high-flying acro-batic troupe played by CraigHenningsen, Suo Liu, Jason Ng andScott Weber.At the end, one of those dialogue

boxes appears onstage: “To be contin-ued...” it says.If only this show, which runs through

Sunday, could be continued. Hey Broad-way, do you have room for two super-heroes?

Baseball is a bat-and-ball sportplayed between two teams of nine play-ers. The aim is to score runs by hitting athrown ball with a bat and touching aseries of four bases arranged at the cor-ners of a 90-foot diamond. Players on thebatting team take turns hitting against thepitcher of the fielding team, which tries toprevent runs by getting hitters out in anyof several ways. A player on the battingteam can stop at any of the bases andlater advance via a teammate's hit orother means. The teams switch betweenbatting and fielding whenever the fieldingteam records three outs. One turn at batfor each team constitutes an inning andnine innings make up a professionalgame. The team with the most runs atthe end of the game wins.

Evolving from older bat-and-ballgames, an early form of baseball wasbeing played in England by the mid-18thcentury. This game was brought by immi-grants to North America, where the mod-ern version developed. By the late 19thcentury, baseball was widely recognizedas the national sport of the United States.Baseball now is popular in North

America, parts of Central and SouthAmerica and the Caribbean, and parts ofEast Asia.

In the United States and Canada,

professional Major League Baseball(MLB) teams are divided into theNational League (NL) and AmericanLeague (AL), each with three divisions:East, West and Central. The majorleague champion is determined by play-offs that culminate in the World Series.Five teams make the playoffs from eachleague: the three regular season divisionwinners, plus two wild card teams.Baseball is the leading team sport inboth Japan and Cuba, and the top levelof play is similarly split between twoleagues: Japan's Central League andPacific League; Cuba's West League andEast League. In the National and Centralleagues, the pitcher is required to bat,per the traditional rules. In the American,Pacific and both Cuban leagues, there isa 10th player, a designated hitter, whobats for the pitcher. Each top-level teamhas a farm system of one or more minorleague teams.

The baseball diamond at Wrigley Field, Chicago

school built in its place.“We want to celebrate

the many years that theschool has been aroundand the people who haveworked at Washington be-fore the building is torndown,” said committee co-chair Patty Deaton, her-self a former staffer. Sheretired from teaching inJune after 35 years, 13 ofwhich were spent atWashington.Special invitations are

being sent to some 60 for-mer employees, Deatonsaid, and students have

been busy preparing time-lines and fun facts aboutthe school’s history. Theyalso are compiling infor-mation about past stu-dents who attendedWashington and went onto do big things. Amongthose featured will beKristin King, a Washing-ton alum and Piqua HighSchool grad who was amember of the U.S.women’s hockey team thatwon a bronze medal in the2006 Olympic games.The public is not only

invited to attend, but en-couraged to participate bycontributing items to be

on display during the openhouse. Committee co-chairRinger said the committeeis seeking Washington-re-lated memorabilia as wellas interviews with anyonewho worked at or at-tended the school.“A lot of the open

house is going to dealwith the history of the

building, so past employ-ees, past students andinterested communitymembers will be able togo around and look atthe different items,” hesaid.Memories also can be

submitted online at thePiqua City Schools web-site at www.piqua.org

under the heading “OurSchools,” then by click-ing “Forms and Down-loads” in the left-handcolumn.For more information,

Countyto fixEldeanoverpassin 2015BY NATALIE KNOTHStaff [email protected]

Work will commence inearly 2015 to increaseclearance below the El-dean Road railroad over-pass, where a box truckcrashed into the overpassearly Thursday morning.The narrow margin be-

tween the road and bridgecauses about three to fouraccidents a year, estimatedMiami County EngineerPaul Huelskamp. Theheight clearance is markedas 9 feet, 8 inches.“We will lower the road

some through the area andraise the railroad throughthe area,”Huelskamp said.“It’s a combination of low-ering the road and raisingthe bridge.”While the county has

been aiming to correct theproblem for years, procur-ing funding for the projectwas difficult. Sites thathave been a factor in in-juries or deaths are givenprecedence, and the over-pass has caused propertydamage only.The Miami Valley Re-

gional Planning Commis-sion secured the grant acouple of years ago for the2015 work.The driver during

Thursday’s incident, RonSmith, was not injured, al-though the truck he wasdriving sustained substan-tial damage. He wascharged with failure toobey a traffic warning de-vice, according to MiamiCounty Sheriff ’s OfficeSgt. Chris Bobb.

Amazingride endsTigers fall in D-III title gameBY ROB KISERSports Editor

[email protected]

COLUMBUS — It was-n’t the ending Scott McEl-downey and the Versaillesboys basketball team hadhoped for.But, the Tigers coach

wouldn’t trade the ride foranything — Saturday’s67-46 loss to Ottawa-Glandorf in the DivisionIII state championshipgame didn’t do anythingto change that.“I have never been so

proud of a group of guys,”McEldowney said afterVersailles’ magical seasonfinished with a 23-6record. “All the the upsand downs of the season.It is has been a roller-coaster ride. Just all thethings they have experi-enced and the way theygrew. I am really proud ofthese guys.”As for the game itself,

the Tigers couldn’t over-come a record-setting 3-point shootingperformance by Titansguard TJ Metzger — and

there was denying a kneeinjury suffered in Thurs-day’s semifinals slowedthe normally high-flyingDamien Richard.“I would say Damien

was at about 65 percent,”McEldowney said. “We dideverything we could. Wetreated it over here and hewas wearing a brace. But,this is a kid that normallythrows it down prettyeasy. We flip-floppedDamien and Nick (Camp-bell) on offense, so Damienwouldn’t have to cut somuch.”But, this day was Met-

zger’s from the very start.His 36-point perform-

ance, including 11 of 17shooting from the floor —nine of 14 from 3-pointrange — and perfect 5-for-5 from the free throw line.The nine 3-point field

goals broke the D-IIIrecord of eight set by J.T.Hoyng and tied the overallrecord of nine set by De-mond Lyles of Lima Sen-ior in 1992. His 13 3-point field

DAYTON (AP) — Aaron Craftdribbled in place at the top of thearc, watching to see if any of hisOhio State teammates were get-ting open near the basket for agame-winning shot.Nothing there.The point guard had a clear

look at the clock as it raced to-ward zero atop the backboard. Herealized what he had to do —take a little Ohio State tourna-ment history into his hands.Craft held the ball until he had

no other choice, then swished a 3-pointer with a half-second leftSunday for a 78-75 victory overIowa State, sending the Buckeyesto a school-record fourth straighttrip to the round of 16.No. 2 Ohio State had managed

to escape as the lone high seedleft in the NCAA tournament'smost-busted bracket."The moment's a lot bigger

than me," said Craft, who had al-lowed Iowa State to catch up withmissed free throws and an errantjumper. "It just happened to be inmy hands at the end."Ohio State (28-7) needed

Craft's fearless shot — over 6-foot-7 defender Georges Niang —to avoid yet another upset in theoh-so-wild West Regional. Four ofthe top five seeds fell fast andhard in the first weekend.The Buckeyes' 10th straight

Busch picks up win in wild finishFONTANA, Calif. (AP)

— Kyle Busch earned hisfirst victory at Fontana onSunday after rivals DennyHamlin and Joey Loganowrecked on the final lap ina thrilling NASCAR fin-

ish.Hamlin and Logano

made contact while theyraced side-by-side in thefinal lap of their first racesince the drivers con-fronted each other lastweek at Bristol. Loganohit the outside wall andHamlin hit the inside

wall, with Hamlin leavingthe course in an ambu-lance.Tony Stewart then con-

fronted Logano after therace and shoved theyounger driver beforeteammates pulled themapart. Logano blockedStewart out of a late

restart.Busch led the most laps

and took advantage of hisremarkable stroke of luckto pick up Joe Gibbs Rac-ing's first victory atFontana, the only trackwhere the team had neverwon."They forgot about me. I

knew they were going to,"Busch said. "We had agood run on the top side,and they were messingwith each other so badthat they took each otherdown. “I was just hoping I

could get by before theytook me with them."

goals for the tourna-ment broke Hoyng andLylses’ record of 12.“He’s a good shooter,”

McEldowney said of Met-zger. “We knew he had theability to go off. But, youdon’t see games like thatvery often.”Metzger did most his

damage in the first half tokeep Versailles from gain-ing any momentum.Senior ChadWinner hit

his first two shots fromthe floor — both 3-pointfield goals — and Richardadded a three to tie thegame at nine.“Damien (Richard) was

still able to make some bigplays for us,”McEldowneysaid. “We got off to a goodstart — I thought we weregoing to have a nice littlerun. But, they (Ottawa-Glandorf) answered every-thing we did.”Especially, Metzger.He scored 11 points in a

15-2 run to close the quar-ter, finishing with a step-back three at the buzzer.That made it 24-11, withMetzger scoring 18 pointsin the opening quarter onfive of six shooting frombehind the arc.“He was in a rhythm,”

Ottawa-Glandorf coachTyson McGlaughlin said.“Feed the hot hand.There’s no need to rein-vent the wheel.”The run reached 20-2

early in the second quar-ter, with two free throwsand a three by Metzger,making it 29-11.“We wanted to give help

(on Metzler,” McEldowneysaid. “But, with such littletime to prepare — it’shard to get a lot of repeti-tions on who is supposedto help in different situa-tions when we can’t getthrough the screen. Wejust tried move him andmake him hit from differ-ent spots on the floor.”

Metzer finished thefirst half with 26 points,making seven of nineshots from 3-point rangeand perfect from insidethat — with a layup andthree free throws as theTitans led 35-20 at thebreak.“He’s a great player,”

Versailles sophomore KyleAhrens, who had somesuccess slowing him downin the second half,” said.“You just have to try tokeep and hand in his faceat all times.”Versailles didn’t go

down without a fight.The Tigers got within

nine twice in the thirdquarter — the second timeat 43-34 with 2:40 left inthe period on anotherRichard three.Versailles missed an-

other three that wouldhave made it a six-pointgame — and OG closedthe quarter with an 8-2run capped by an off-bal-ance three by Metzger tomake it 51-36 going to thefinal eight minutes.“I have a basketball rim

in my backyard,” Metzgersaid. “When I was sevenI’d go to my brother, ‘Thisis for the state champi-onship right here.’ ThenI’d miss it. It was a differ-ent story today.”The Titans the lead to

19 early in the fourthquarter and coasted fromthere.“We made a couple runs

in the third quarter, butwe used up a lot of energydoing that,” McEldowneysaid. “After you getknocked down so manytimes, it does (wear youdown).”Ahrens finished an

amazing weekend for theTigers with 12 points. Hewas named to the all-tour-nament team after mak-ing ESPN’s Top 10 playswith a dunk in the semifi-

nal Thursday, coming in atNo. 2.Winner added 10 points

and five rebounds.Metzger was the lone

Titan in double figures,with Michael Rosebrockpulling down eight re-bounds and Noah Bram-lage grabbing seven.Versailles was just 17 of

47 from the floor for 36percent, including five of18 from behind the arc for39 percent. The Tigersconverted seven of 11 fromthe line for 64 percent.OG was 22 of 43 from

the floor for 51 percent, in-cluding nine of 16 from 3-point range fro 56 percent.The Titans converted 14 of22 free throws for 64 per-cent.The Titans won the bat-

tle of the boards 34-24 andboth teams had 12turnoversThe Tigers have the po-

tential for another tourna-ment run next season,with just Chad Winnerand Jacob Heitkamp play-ing their final games.But, it would be hard to

top this one.“We set a goal at the be-

ginning of the year to wina state championship,”Winner said. “Eventhough we didn’t do that,this season is something Iwill always remember.”Just like his coach.

saidWill Clyburn, who scored 17points. "It was a tough game andhe made a tough shot. He made agreat play."Craft's missed free throws

helped Iowa State catch up. Hemissed the front end of a pair ofone-and-one chances and was offon a jumper from just inside thearc with 29.2 seconds left andthe score tied.The Cyclones knocked the ball

out of bounds while trying forthe rebound, setting up the finalchance. Coach Thad Matta calleda timeout and went over the op-

tions."I told 'em, 'Hey, let's get the

last shot; let's play for the winhere,'" Matta said.When the Cyclones switched

coverages to take away leadingscorer Deshaun Thomas and puttheir tall freshman on Craft, thepoint guard decided to take ithimself.Not a bad outcome, Iowa State

thought."He had a tough shot," said

Korie Lucious, who led IowaState with 19 points. "He hadn'thit a 3 all game."The officials reviewed the play

to confirm that Craft's foot wasbehind the arc when he shot. Lu-cious didn't come close on a longheave as the final half-secondran off.Lucious stood on the court

after the buzzer sounded, stungby the final half-second. CoachFred Hoiberg was unable tomake an opening comment dur-ing the postgame news confer-ence, the pain etched all over hisface.Thomas led Ohio State with

22 points, and Craft had 18.LaQuinton Ross scored 10straight for the Buckeyes as theybuilt that second-half lead.The Buckeyes escaped Dayton

— the scene of a couple of recentNCAA tournament disappoint-ments — as the lone high seedleft in the West.No. 3 New Mexico, No. 4

Kansas State and No. 5 Wiscon-sin were knocked out right away,losing their openers. No. 1 Gon-zaga joined them Saturdaynight, shocked by ninth-seededWichita State 76-70.The Buckeyes had opened the

tournament in Dayton twice pre-viously under Matta and lost de-spite thousands of fans providinga home-court feeling.Perhaps it was fitting that this

one was decided by a 3.The Cyclones lead the nation

in 3-pointers, with nearly 44 per-cent of their attempts comingfrom behind the arc. Defense hasbeen Ohio State's foundationduring its late winning streak,which included the Big Ten tour-nament title.
