PIQUA DAILY CALL • WWW.DAILYCALL.COM Saturday, November 26, 2011 3

By David MorganSTAFF WRITER

Piqua-area residents are in for a rare treat when the International Gold, Silver and Diamond Buyers (IGSDB) host an event here, from November 29th - December 3rd, at the La Quinta Inn.The company has identified this region as prime territory for purchasing your precious metals—especially gold and silver. The IGSDB estimates that local residents have millions of dollars worth of valuables that they no longer need or want. That is where the IGSDB comes in—they specialize in buying those items from local sellers in the U.S., Canada and Europe.

Items like gold coins, scrap gold, sterling silver and tea sets also diamond rings are in high demand right now, and IGSDB is purchasing massive quantities of them on behalf of their global network of collectors, dealers and refineries.

Currently on an international tour, IGSDB has included Piqua on its list of stops for next week. Residents are urged to mark their calendar for this special opportunity to meet one-on-one with gold, silver and diamond specialists.

Because of IGSDB’s low overhead, extensive resources and massive volume, the company is often able to pay out more than other dealers and retailers. Many customers are surprised at how much they are offered for seemingly small amounts. “I had two bent herringbone necklaces, a class ring, and some outdated earrings that I brought to a show. I walked out with $425 in less than 15 minutes,” said a satisfied guest.

Providing an economic boost to each region it visits, the IGSDB projects to pay out $350,000 at each event—a testament to the high volume of items they purchase and the prime prices being paid. Offers are made based on rarity, numismatic value, condition and market value.

Company spokesman Matthew Enright says, “We just paid $4,700 for a loose 1.25—carat diamond. Our mission is to pay local residents on the spot for sterling silverware, fine jewelry, coins and precious metals—especially silver and gold.” The company has seen a huge influx of gold lately. “Customers have been scrambling to cash into the record-high value of gold,” adds Enright. For those who are unsure if their items are genuine gold or silver, or simply costume, company will test it for free. “The best strategy is to bring all items to the show for a free evaluation from our specialists. It always amazes me how a small handful of gold and silver can turn into hundreds of dollars in just a few moments. We test, weigh, and buy items right on the spot,” Enright says.

At a recent show, a small—town dentist had a nice pay day. “I have been collecting dental gold for years from patients who didn’t want their extracted teeth. It really added up—my check is for over $31,000!” While most people don’t

have buckets of dental gold at their fingertips, they do have $750 worth of scrap gold scattered throughout their homes or mismatched earrings.

In addition to scrap gold, fine jewelry and diamonds, coins are a big hit. Offers will be made on all coins dated 1970 and earlier—gold coins, silver, silver dollars, half dollars, quarters, nickels and dimes. Enright explains, “U.S. coins made before 1965 are worth more than their legal tender amount because they contain 90% silver. Rare dates and mint marks can make them even more valuable. We recently paid $78,000 for an amazing coin collection. One couple brought in a rusty coffee can filled with silver coins, sawdust, and a dead spider. The can had been in the basement for years. We were happy to send them home with a check for more than $700!”

Piqua-area residents should start collecting their valuables now to bring to the free event, which runs next Tuesday - Saturday. Deals will be made and money will be paid on the spot. Attendance is expected to be high, but no appointment is needed. Enright encourages everyone to take advantage of this special opportunity to meet directly with specialists from the International Gold, Silver and Diamond Buyers. He concludes, “It’s a great chance for people to cash in their old diamonds, jewelry, coins and scrap gold. This is a seller’s market, so don’t miss out!”

BY JULIE PACE

WASHINGTON—A year from Election Day, Democ-rats are crafting a campaign strategy for Vice PresidentJoe Biden that targets the big three political battle-grounds: Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Florida, states whereBiden might be more of an asset to President BarackObama’s re-election campaign than the president him-self.The Biden plan underscores an uncomfortable reality

for the Obama team. A shaky economy and sagging en-thusiasm among Democrats could shrink the electoralmap for Obama in 2012, forcing his campaign to dependon carrying the 67 electoral votes up for grabs in thethree swing states.Obama won all three states in 2008. But this time he

faces challenges in each, particularly in Ohio andFlorida, where voters elected Republican governors inthe 2010 midterm elections.The president sometimes struggles to connect with

Ohio and Pennsylvania’s white working-class voters, andJewish voters who make up a core constituency forFlorida Democrats and view him with skepticism.Biden has built deep ties to both groups during his

four decades in national politics, connections that couldmake a difference.As a long-serving member of the Senate Foreign Re-

lations Committee, Biden cemented his reputation as anunyielding supporter of Israel, winning the respect ofmany in the Jewish community.And Biden’s upbringingin a working class, Catholic family from Scranton, Pa.,gives him a valuable political intangible: He empathizeswith the struggles of blue-collar Americans because hisfamily lived those struggles.“Talking to blue-collar voters is perhaps his greatest

attribute,” said Dan Schnur, a Republican political ana-lyst. “Obama provides the speeches, and Biden providesthe blue-collar subtitles.”While Biden’s campaign travel won’t kick into high

gear until next year, he’s already been making stops inOhio, Pennsylvania and Florida this fall, speaking atevents focused on education, public safety and smallbusinesses and raising campaign cash. Behind thescenes, he’s working the phones with prominent Jewishgroups and Catholic organizations in those states, aDemocratic official said.Biden is also targeting organized labor, speaking fre-

quently with union leaders in Ohio ahead of a vote ear-lier this month on a state law that would have curbedcollective bargaining rights for public workers.After vot-ers struck down the measure, Biden traveled to Cleve-land to celebrate the victory with union members.The Democratic official said the vice president will

also be a frequent visitor to Iowa and NewHampshire inthe coming weeks, seeking to steal some of the spotlightfrom the Republican presidential candidates blanketingthose states ahead of the January caucus and primary.And while Obamamay have declared that he won’t be

commenting on the Republican presidential field untilthere’s a nominee, Biden is following no such rules. He’scalling out GOP candidates by name, and in true Bidenstyle, he appears to be relishing in doing so.During a speech last month to the Florida Democratic

Convention, Biden singled out “Romney and Rick”, crit-icizing former Massachusetts Gov.Mitt Romney for say-ing the government should let the foreclosure crisis hitrock bottom, and hammering Texas Gov. Rick Perry’s as-sertion that he would send U.S. troops into Mexico.

Julie Pace covers politics for The Associated Press.

Soas fate would haveit, on the night of myhigh school alma

mater’s homecoming foot-ball game, I went to whatwould officially qualify asa “shindig” at the home ofa former classmate, Nick,with my friends, Daveand Johny Hoskins.Now, out of my worst

fears and phobias, I canhonestly say that volun-tarily attending a highschool football game at Milton-Unionranks somewhere between receiving anoral colonoscopy and getting kidnappedby flesh-eating clowns.Nevertheless, I’m surely not the only

person to go against my better judgmentafter having a fewWillweisers at an im-promptu cook out. With that, we navi-gated the dark back-alleys to the footballstadium, where Johny claimed we couldget in free after halftime.Since we were early, we decided to ob-

noxiously smoke cigarettes right outsidethe gates with all the other nicotinenuts.We were minding our own businesswhen this terrible woman who wasguarding the gate, and who was flankedby two women of equal terribleness, tookit upon herself to inform other adultsthat smoking on school property is a$100 fine.Johny told this woman to call the cops

or shut up, which seemed to really coolher jets. She went back to picking onpeople who actually listened to her: chil-dren.That’s why I’ve always admired Johny

Hoskins. On a day-to-day basis Johnyexudes a certain cavalier attitude bestdisplayed in Hollywood action movies.Johny says the things I am too afraid tosay myself.“Lady,” I wished I would have added,

“what’s your deal? You guys continuallyram school levies down my throat andbilk me out of my hard-earned dime, sowhy don’t you let me smoke my ciga-rette, and we can just call it a day,m’kay? A little bit of cigarette smokenever killed anybody. It’s not mustardgas I’m exhaling.”The problem with visiting a football

game at the high school you graduatedfrom is that you know going in that it’sgoing to be a sure-fire hotbed of awk-ward encounters with a batch of life’smore undesired individuals.I get sick of carelessly asking the

same questions.Let it be known from this point for-

ward: I don’t care what you do, what youhave been up to all of these years or ifyou believe the moon is made of cheese.

I want to pull a socialmulligan on all of it.Just tell everyone,“Call the cops or shutup!”Johny, who appar-

ently knew everyoneat the game, ran intoa fellow we went toschool with namedMatt. I hung wa-aa-aay back, however, onaccount of my motherrecently having had

an ugly exchange with the chap on myFacebook wall.Yeah,my momwas on myFacebook page defending me againstthis former classmate, who is now work-ing for the man as a (possibly gun-tot-ing) postal carrier.Seriously though, let’s give a standing

ovation to moms for that one. That’s aclassic mom move right there. I’m 32,and mom is still fighting my battles.But my harrowing journey to the cen-

ter of the dark heart of awkwardnesswas only beginning, and I should haveknown better.While walking behind the stands with

Dave and Nick, my eyes crossed withthose of my former father-in-law. I knowhe saw me — his eyes locked on likeheat-seeking missiles — but I didn’t leton like I seen ‘im back. That’s the way Iroll.Plus, when I’m in public, I usually

shove my hands in my pockets and leavethem there. That way, I don’t accidentlygive a knee-jerk wave to someone I seein public whom I hate.After that scene, we all decided to wait

outside the main gates as the minutes ofthe game ticked down. In retrospect, Ikick myself for that. The game waswinding down.We were standing outsidethe main gates. My ex father-in-law wasroaming the grounds.In my head, I heard the theme from

“Jaws.”I knew at that moment that the fore-

cast called for a 100 percent chance ofrunning into my ex-wife.And sure enough, Dave spotted her.

“Thar she blows,” he called out.I just stood there nonchalantly smok-

ing and eating sour chewy candy with ascowl running across my face, ruing theday I decided to make my grand home-coming.

BY THE ASSOCIATEDPRESS

Excerpts of recent edito-rials of interest from Ohionewspapers:

The Lima NewsThe editorial pages of

the Washington Post andWall Street Journal, 3,000miles removed from thescene, over the weekendjoined in the growing criti-cism of California’s waste-ful and costly proposedhigh-speed rail system.Wehate to keep saying we toldyou so, but those in Ohiowho still push for suchwasteful spending hereshould take note.The Washington Post

said in a Nov. 12 editorial:“Things just went from badto worse for high-speedpassenger rail in Califor-nia. After the GoldenState’s voters approved a$9 billion bullet-train bondissue in 2008, officials saidthey could build an 800-mile system by 2020, for$35.7 billion. The cost pro-jection now, as issued bythe state Nov. 1: $98.5 bil-lion. …”And the Wall Street

Journal in a Nov. 13 edito-rial had this to say: “Cali-fornia Gov. Jerry Brownmust have loved ‘The LittleEngine That Could’ as akid. Last week his state’shigh-speed rail authorityreleased a new businessplan that estimates its500-mile bullet train fromSan Francisco to Anaheimwill cost $98 billion. …”What would have been

different in Ohio had Gov.John Kasich not rejectedfederal seed money for ahigh-speed line connectingthe largest three cities?Kasich and Wisconsin Gov.ScottWalker took some ex-pected criticism from theleft when the U.S. Depart-ment of Transportationyanked $1.2 billion fromthe two states because theRepublican governorswanted to use the moneyfor more pressing roadneeds. …If the situation in Cali-

fornia repeated itself here,Ohio would need morethan $1.1 billion to do justthe $400 million worth ofhigh-speed-rail worth theU.S. Department of Trans-portation was “paying for.”Even from afar, this

boondoggle is obvious.

DEAR ABBY: I’m 14and I’m terrified that Iwon’t know what to doonce I’m in college andhave to decide on a long-term job. I have a lot of in-terests, but none thatwould lead me toward acareer. My teachers andthe books I read say Ishould find my passionand follow it for the rest ofmy life. My problem is, Idon’t have a stand-outpassion I love intensely.I have an amazing fam-

ily who would support mein any direction I choose,but I don’t know whatthat would be. I get goodgrades and work hard,and I believe I couldachieve anything I choose.The problem is, I don’tknow what I want to do.I know I’m young, but I

worry all the time aboutmy future and being stuckin a job I hate. I’m in-volved in lots of activities— student government,piano lessons, sports, serv-ice clubs and more — andI enjoy all of them. Butnone of them inspire aburning passion. Do youhave any suggestions onhow to find my passion?

DEAR NEEDS A DI-RECTION: Yes. And thefirst one is to relax andquit worrying about nothaving found your “pas-sion” at 14. This isn’t theMiddle Ages, when youngpeople would apprenticethemselves to a guild inwhich they would spendthe rest of their lives. Youare intelligent and onlybeginning to explore yourvarious talents.You may excel in sev-

eral different areas, whichis good, because workersno longer necessarily stayin one kind of job for a life-time. People are usuallygood at the things theyenjoy, so slow down. Giveyourself time to see whereyou excel. I am positivethat if you do, you’ll findyour passion(s) in a fieldyou enjoy.

DEAR ABBY: I havebeen with my husband formore than 10 years. It hasbeen rocky over the pastfew years, and I recentlyhad an affair with a mar-ried man. I have fallenmadly in love with him,and every night I dreamabout being with him in-stead of with my husband.We’re both in unhappymarriages and both havechildren.He’s worried that if he

gets divorced he won’t beable to see his kids asoften as he wants. ShouldI forget him and try to fallback in love with my hus-band?Everyone I talk to about

this says my lover hasbeen what I needed to rec-ognize that I wasn’t happyin my marriage and that Ideserve better. I know I

deserve better because Iworshipped the groundmy husband walked on formany years and gottreated like crud.What doI do?

— DOWNTRODDENWIFE IN OKLAHOMA.

DEAR DOWNTROD-DEN: Since you’re collect-ing advice, I don’t mindthrowing in my two-cents’worth.Your lover doesn’t ap-

pear eager to leave hisfamily, so do the best thingfor both of you and end theaffair. As to whether youshould try to fall back inlove with a man who“treated you like crud,”sometimes divorce can betherapeutic. And from thedescription you gave me ofyour marriage, you couldbenefit from seeking oneand swearing off men for awhile.

DEAR ABBY: Fouryears ago my best friend’smother lost her husbandafter a battle with cancer.She joined a grief supportgroup and met a man whohad lost his wife to cancer,too. Love blossomed andthey will be married soon.Everyone is thrilled theyhave found each other.Along with a wedding

gift, would it be appropri-ate to make a donation toa cancer charity in mem-ory of their deceasedspouses? I would like tohonor the struggle thatled the couple to eachother, but don’t want to of-fend. What do you think?

It is not unusual for adeclarer to start out withone plan and then, a fewtricks later, find himselfexecuting an entirely dif-ferent plan. The abilityto make such on-the-spot

adjustments is a vitalcomponent of good de-clarer play.Consider this deal

from a tournament pairsevent. South reachedthree notrump as shownand won the openingclub lead with dummy’sjack. The contract couldnot be defeated ifdummy’s diamondscould be establishedwithout East gainingthe lead for a club re-turn through South’sking. In fact, if West hadthe doubleton or triple-ton king of diamonds, atleast one overtrick wasassured.So at trick two, de-

clarer led a diamond tothe ace. The fall of

West’s singleton kingwas not a welcome sight— it meant that the dia-mond suit would fur-nish only two tricks,since East could not begiven a trick with thejack. Therefore, declarerwas going to have toscore his ninth trick ineither spades or clubs.With West holding the

A-Q of both black suits,this might seem an im-possibility, but in fact,success was a near cer-tainty. If West had theace of spades for histwo-club bid, as washighly likely, a surefireendplay was only a fewtricks away.Accordingly, at trick

three South began run-

ning his hearts, Westdiscarding a club on thefifth heart. Declarerthen crossed to the dia-mond queen and led aspade to the jack. IfEast had the queen, thiswould have forcedWest’s ace, but the ac-tual location of thequeen was of no import.As it was, West took

the jack with the queenand was then forced toconcede a trick to one ofSouth’s black kings.

Thus South, whostarted out thinking hehad an easy assignmentif he could establishdummy’s diamonds,wound up needing to ex-ecute an endplay just tofinish with nine tricks.

BY MAE ANDERSONAssociated Press

A shopper in Los Ange-les pepper-sprayed hercompetition for an Xboxand scuffles broke out else-where around the U.S. asbargain-hunters crowdedstores in an earlier-than-usual start to the madnessknown as Black Friday.For the first time, chains

such as Target, Best Buyand Kohl’s (NYSE:KSS)opened their doors at mid-night on the most antici-pated shopping day of theyear. Toys R Us opened forthe second straight yearon Thanksgiving itself.And some shoppers ar-rived with sharp elbows.Near Muskegon, Mich.,

a teenage girl was knockeddown and stepped on sev-eral times after gettingcaught in the rush to asale in the electronics de-partment at a Walmart.She suffered minor in-juries.On Thanksgiving night,

a Walmart in Los Angelesbrought out a crate of dis-counted Xboxes, and as acrowd waited for the videogame players to be un-wrapped, a woman firedpepper spray at the othershoppers “in order to getan advantage,” police said.Ten people suffered cuts

and bruises in the chaos,and 10 others had minor

injuries from the spray, au-thorities said. The womangot away in the confusion,and it was not immedi-ately clear whether she gotan Xbox.On Friday morning, po-

lice said, two women wereinjured and a man wascharged after a fight brokeout at an upstate NewYork Walmart. A man wasarrested in a scuffle at ajewelry counter at a Wal-mart in Kissimmee, Fla.Wal-Mart Stores, the

nation’s biggest retailer,has taken steps in recentyears to control its BlackFriday crowds followingthe 2008 death of one of itsworkers in a stampede ofshoppers. This year, itstaggered its door-busterdeals instead of offeringthem all at once.Wal-Mart spokesman

Greg Rossiter said BlackFriday was safe at most ofits nearly 4,000 U.S., butthere were “a few unfortu-nate incidents.”The incidents were at-

tributed to two convergingBlack Friday trends:Crowds are getting biggeras stores open earlier andstay open later. At thesame time, cash-strappedshoppers are competingfor deals on a small num-ber of gifts that everybodywants tablet computers,TVs and game consoleslike Xbox, Nintendo 3SandWii.That’s a shift from years

past, when there was awider range of must-haveitems.“The more the people,

the more the occurrences,”

said Marshal Cohen, chiefindustry analyst withmarket research firm TheNPD Group.A record number of

shoppers are expected thisweekend to take advan-tage of discounts of up to70 percent. For three daysstarting on Black Friday,152 million people are ex-pected to shop, either on-line or in stores, anincrease of about 10 per-cent from last year, accord-ing to the National RetailFederation.Thanksgiving weekend,

particularly Black Friday,is huge for retailers. Overthe past six years, BlackFriday was the biggestsales day of the year, andit is expected to keep thatcrown this year, thoughshoppers seem to be pro-crastinating more everyyear, and the fate of theholiday season is increas-ingly coming down to thelast few days beforeChristmas.Last year, the Thanks-

giving shopping weekendaccounted for 12.1 percentof overall holiday sales, ac-cording to ShopperTrak, aresearch firm. Black Fri-day made up about half ofthat.ShopperTrak is ex-

pected to release salesdata on Saturday on howBlack Friday fared, but abetter picture will emergewhen major retailers re-port their November salesfigures next Thursday.In addition to opening

earlier than usual thisyear, some stores offered tomatch their competitors’

prices, rolled out layawayprograms or offered moredoor-buster deals than lastyear.Emmanuel Merced and

his brother showed up at aBest Buy in New York at 3p.m. onWednesday so theycould be the first in linewhen it opened at mid-night Thursday to grab aSharp 42-inch TV for$199.99, a PlayStation 3with games for $199.99and wireless headphonesfor $30.Merced said he likes

camping out for Black Fri-day and figured he saved50 percent.“I like the experience of

it,” said Merced, who plansto spend $3,000 to $4,000on gifts this season.To be sure, not every

place was full on BlackFriday. With so manymajor stores opening atmidnight, many peoplestayed up late andshopped early. Then therewere those who stuck totheir normal routine ofgoing to stores that openedlater Friday morning.Thatleft a lull in the hours justbefore and after daybreak.At a Target on Chicago’s

North Side, crowds werelight four hours after thestore opened at midnight.And door-buster deals, in-cluding the typicallyquick-to-sell-out TVs andgame systems, remainedpiled up in their boxes.Shoppers pushed cartsthrough mostly emptyaisles while thumbingthrough circulars, and em-ployees in Santa hatsroamed the store.

NEW YORK (AP) —During the first twomonths of the nationwideOccupy protests, themovement that is de-manding more out of thewealthiest Americans costlocal taxpayers at least$13 million in police over-time and other municipalservices, according to asurvey by The AssociatedPress.The heaviest financial

burden has fallen uponlaw enforcement agenciestasked with monitoringmarches and evicting pro-

testers from outdoorcamps. And the steepestcosts by far piled up inNew York City and Oak-land, Calif., where policeclashed with protesters onseveral occasions.The AP gathered fig-

ures from governmentagencies in 18 cities withactive protests and fo-cused on costs throughNov. 15, the day protesterswere evicted from NewYork City’s Zuccotti Park,where the protests beganSept. 17 before spreadingnationwide. \

USED CAR SALE!

he is. Instead, he kept challeng-ing himself to do more.“I was helping someone out

by trimming a tree for them,”Shepard said. He got knockedoff the ladder. The branch camedown and hit the side of theladder and then knocked himstraight backward.“I heard the crack of a branch

and the next thing I know, I wason the ground looking up. Im-mediately, my legs had thatnumb, tingly (feeling). I’venever been able to find a way todescribe it. It was instant.”Shepard learned later that

chips had broken off of his ver-tebrae.When he first fell, he “sort of

propped myself up on my el-bows. I couldn’t go any further.”He said he realized it was seri-ous. The Piqua Rescue Squadtransported him to Brel-AireBowling Alley on County Road25-A in Piqua, where Care-Flight could land.“I’m laying in the ambulance.

I can’t walk. My back’s broken.You know right away it’s bad,”Shepard said.“I have a high pain threshold.

I was joking with the guys inthe squad,” Shepard said. “I wasin a lot of pain.” Shepard wastaken to Miami Valley Hospital,Dayton, where. Dr. MarcosAmongero took care of him.“They rush you straight to

emergency … evaluate you,”Shepard said. “I didn’t have ascratch on me.”Doctors told him he would

have to have two rods and eightbolts placed in his back.“They told my family I would

probably never walk again.” Itwas two or three days later be-fore doctors told Shepard thatnews.Amongero told Shepard the

bone fragments were the “bigissue.” They had to clean outthe fragments and said thefragments could have severedthe spinal cord.A prayer chain formed and

people began praying for Shep-ard.After being in intensive care

for 2 1/2 days, Shepard was

moved to rehab. “One of thetherapists from the rehab unitcame and put me in a wheel-chair.”This was his first introduc-

tion to a wheelchair. Needingassistance was not somethingShepard found easy. “I don’ttake help well. I definitely don’task for help well.”Shepard had four sessions of

physical therapy and occupa-tional therapy each day. “In be-tween those times, I wasputting miles in, in the hospi-tal, everybody knew me.”Shepard has Knee and Ankle

Fixed Orthodics (KAFO’s),which are leg braces. “I can putthose on and lock them in andstand and walk. It felt great. Itallows you to get upright again… seeing the world from 6 footup again.”Shepard said powered or-

thodics are available. That iswhy he works to stay in goodphysical condition. “You can’tsit there and dwell on that (notwalking). You have to live fortoday, but keep tomorrow inmind.”With research, Shepard said

it is possible that someday hecould walk again. Shepard hassome feeling in his legs now.After three weeks in the hos-

pital, Shepard went home.“I had this false sense of se-

curity. I wasn’t really scared. Ispent two weeks learning allthis stuff. I was feeling prettygood about myself.” When hegot home, a little bit of panic satin.Shepard created a “studio

apartment” in the basementthat allowed him to exitthrough the basement door.Later, he moved in with his par-ents. “They had a ramp builtlike the first week.”Going home wasn’t easy.

Shepard said it was “extremely”hard to move in with his par-ents.“They’re always mom no mat-

ter how old you are. Me tryingto be independent, them tryingto help. You couldn’t ask formore helpful parents.”Shepard had purchased a

home, but had not been able tofinish the work on it before his

accident. He said his parents,family members and churchfriends helped finish the housefor him.“I went six months without

any income until Social Secu-rity kicked in,” said Shepard,who had to live off his savings.At the time of his accident,Shepard was operations man-ager for PSC Crane and Rig-ging in Piqua. He also servedfor six years in the Ohio Na-tional Guard and was an E4when he left the service.Shepard got involved in

TAASC, a part of the AdaptiveAdventure Sports Coalition inPowell. He said they have adap-tive water skiing and snow ski-ing equipment and allow peoplewith physical (and) cognitivedisabilities the opportunity toparticipate in sports and notfeel so isolated.“They fast-tracked me and I

was skiing. I went with thatlike I went with everythingelse. I didn’t stop till I got it.”He now snow skis at Snow-

shoe Mountain inWest Virginiaand can do an “extreme verticaldrop. I went from beginner tothat in one season.”Shepard now works with the

organization helping others.“When you take a kid to the topof a mountain and take themdown, they are grinning ear toear. It’s pure joy,” Shepard said.“I had kayaked, I had white

water rafted since I was a kid,”Shepard said. “The only diffi-culty there is getting in and outof the boat. It takes a lot ofupper body strength.”He is a certified kayaking in-

structor, the only disabledkayaking instructor in the area.To become an instructor,

Shepard had to be “able to re-cover myself,” upright the boatand recover the other person.He kayaks at Twin Lakes inColumbus.Shepard also water skis. “It’s

completely different whenyou’re sitting.” He helps with awater skiing clinic as part ofthe Wounded Warrior project,teaching veterans how to ski inspite of their disabilities.Shepard has also partici-

pated in the U.S. Air Force 5K,finishing first in his adaptiveTrack chair. He has sinceswitched to a hand cycle, be-cause he can be in it for longerperiods of time.Sports are important to

Shepard. “It does severalthings. It keeps you in shape.It’s a fun way to do that. I par-ticipated in a lot of those thingsbeforehand. It allows me to dothose things I used to do.”Shepard borrows equipment

from TAASC that allow him toparticipate in adaptive sports.Shepard is working to be-

come a certified snow ski in-structor and already helpsteach snow skiing. He skis atBellefontaine and Mansfield.Shepard also is attending

Edison Community College, re-turning to school in 2009. He isan honor student, with a 3.70GPA and a member of PhiTheta Kappa at Edison, an in-ternational honor society fortwo-year colleges. He plans tocomplete a degree as an or-thodic and prosthetic practi-tioner, which requires amaster’s degree. He hopes to at-tend St. Petersburg College inthe fall of 2012, participating inonly one of a few programs inthe country.Shepard wants to work with

veterans in the area of adaptivesports. Right now, he is busycompleting work in subjectssuch as physics and anatomyand physiology. “I never went tocollege. I was a classic under-achiever. I was more about thefun.”Shepard is enjoying doing

well in school. “It’s kind of ad-dictive. You’re on a mission.” Heplans to receive his associate’sdegree in May.

In spite of his positive atti-tude, there are “why me?” mo-ments. “You have bad days,things go wrong.” Shepard said,he tells himself, “get up and doit. You don’t let it take over. Itcould be a lot worse. I count my-self fortunate.”Moving to St. Petersburg will

be another challenge. “There isa little bit of apprehensionthere, leaving my friends andfamily. They have been fantas-tic through it.”Shepard drives a truck with

hand controls. He completeddriving classes and took an-other driving exam. He saiddriving is important. “That washuge. That’s your freedom. I’vealways been independent. To bedependent on someone for aride was frustrating.” He alsohas a motorcycle license.Shepard does peer counsel-

ing, traveling to Miami ValleyHospital to work as a registeredvolunteer, helping others facingwhat he faced in 2008. He hasgiven talks at the University ofDayton for physical therapygraduate students and has spo-ken to physical therapy assist-ing students at Edison.Shepard also helps with the

MVH adaptive sports program,held once each year.Shepard has some advice for

others facing physical chal-lenges. “Keep your mindstraight. Attitude is key.”Having to pull a wheelchair

in and out of his truck at thestore makes Shepard “appreci-ate the things that you oncedidn’t.” But he said, “if it’s toohard, you find a way to do it.”Shepard is thankful this

Thanksgiving. “I’m very thank-ful. It could have been a lotworse. I’m very thankful for myfriends and family. I’m thankfulto be alive. I could have brokenmy neck. I’m thankful that I’mable to do the things I do. I’vegot a mission, I guess.”“You can’t let the chair define

(you) by any means. You takewhat life gives you and moveon,” Shepard said.Shepard can be contacted at

[email protected] someone wants to know moreabout his experience or TAASC.

Chances are nothing haschanged, and such folk will continueto be ill-fated for you in money mat-ters.CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Aslong as you are making your own de-cisions, things are likely to go quitewell. Let someone else call the shots,and it could be another story.AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Takesome time to help instruct those whocan’t seem to grasp new ideas in atimely fashion, especially if it meansthe difference between success andfailure for you and/or them.PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Youmight have a bit of trouble under-standing what could get you in jeop-ardy, so don’t engage in anything thatmight cause problems if things don’tgo exactly right.ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Thereare plenty of good buys out therewithout you having to think aboutwhich one is better; they’ll all begreat. Select the one that pleases youthe most.TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Getyour most difficult tasks out of theway early while you have plenty of en-ergy to take on those tough jobs.

We can’t believe a decade has passed by,It seems like it was yesterday we said goodbye.Although the sadness will never go away,The wonderful times we shared will forever stay.We believe someday we will once again meet,What a wonderful, peaceful blessing that will be.Your smile always shined so bright,You were the kindest man who was so full of life.You are the sun that shines in the sky,You are the beautiful butterfly that flutters by.You are the rainbow that shines bright,You are the gentle breeze we feel at night.Although it is difficult to be apart,You will forever be in our hearts,It never gets easier as time has passed,But one beautiful day we will see you at last.

Many homeowners are stillfacing mortgage default, andwhile the best bet is to con-tact your lender directly,there are tempting advertise-ments out there for compa-nies that claim they can solveyour financial crisis. Fraud isrampant, so look out for thefollowing warning signs.

First, don't believe the hype when you hear, "We'll stop the auction!"or, "Debt eliminated, guaranteed!" If it sounds too good to be true, itis!You should be suspicious of any company that tries to gain yourtrust by imitating a government agency. They may (illegally) publishgovernment logos and names, or even copy the look of an official web-site, so pay attention to the details.Back out of any deal that requires you to pay any fees up front.There is no need to pay anyone to modify your mortgage terms, be-cause your lender, and only your lender, can do that.Most importantly, do not make mortgage payments to anyone butyour lender. If a person or company presents you with an official look-ing statement that indicates payments should now be made to them,don't walk - run for the door, and call the Better Business Bureau.By working directly with your lender, you may be able to modifyyour loan terms, or agree to a pay-off through a "short sale." Lendersrequire the property be listed with a local real estate agent if you de-cide to do a short sale.Please heed this advice. You don't want to have one of these fraud-ulent groups to take advantage of you.

Ask for help. Parents, friends and rela-tives may all be willing to give you a loanwith favorable rates – with parents, thatoften means no interest rate, and no stricttimeframe. If a loan (or gift) doesn’t seemfeasible, maybe they would be willing to co-sign the loan.Use your other assets – either by selling

them, or by borrowing money against them.This can include things like cars, boats orbicycles, as well as stocks, or trinkets, suchas heirlooms, or vintage trading cards.If you have life insurance with any built-

up value, you could cash in that value, orpossibly borrow against it.If you are a first-time homebuyer, you

can take out $10,000 from your IRA,penalty-free, to put toward your home pur-chase.You can also borrow against your retire-

ment funds.Sometimes, you can get help from a non-

profit organization, such as a church. Thereare loans out there that will let you put alower down payment down, as long as anon-profit organization puts in part.Increase your income – you can do this by

getting a second job, or doing some freelancework.If you can make it work, change your

withholding taxes in anticipation of beingable to deduct the interest. This will giveyou more take-home pay, which you canstart saving!Offer to give something other than cash

for the down-payment.This could include of-fering the seller something like a car or aboat in lieu of the down payment, or it couldbe your services; for example, you couldoffer to do landscaping in the person’s newhome, or give them automobile services, ordo their taxes!Finally, you can look for options that

don’t require a large down payment. Suchoptions include loan programs such as VAor FHA. Another option is to purchase aforeclosure property, which can often be hadwith little or no down payment.You can alsoconsider getting an 80:20 loan, where youessentially have two loans; one is the regu-lar mortgage on the property, and the otheris a loan for the down payment – eventhrough these are separate loans, they oftencome from the same lender.

Jones gets last laughLeads Panthers into state title game todayBY ROB KISERSports [email protected]

SOUTH BEND, Ind. —Former Piqua standoutdefensive lineman AntwonJones, who went on to playfor Notre Dame, remem-bers reporters reaction tohis statement four yearsago when he took over ashead football coach atSouth Bend WashingtonHigh School.“I told them I came here

to win a state title,” Jonessaid. “A lot of the reporterswere kind of laughingabout that. That’s why Iam enjoying this week andtalking to some of thosesame reporters. I can say,‘I told you so.’”Jones was refering to

the fact the Panthers are

preparing to play for theDivision 4A state champi-onship game todayagainst defending cham-pion Indianapolis Cathe-dral.In all fairness, the re-

porters reaction was notsurprising — Washingtonwas hardly considered achampionship caliber pro-gram when Jones took itover four years ago.“Not at all,” he said.

“They were coming off an0-10 season. “I saw an opportunity to

help out young people. Ididn’t know how long itwas going to take — but Itold them I was there towin a state champi-onship.”Jones credits several

things for the amazingturnaround.First, he brought in

some strong assistantcoaches.“We have a great staff,”

he said. “We took a littledifferent approach. Weweren’t afraid to get intheir faces.”For those who don’t

know, Jones faces somechallenges coaches inMiami County don’t faceon a daily basis.“This is a pretty rough

neighborhood,” Jones said.“To give you an example,in the four years I havebeen here, we have hadtwo players murdered.”And Jones felt like he

had the knowledge fromhis previous experiencesplaying football to turnthe program around.“You know, a lot of it

comes from coach (Bill)Nees at Piqua,” Jonessaid. “I talked to SteveNolan (Troy) some — he isa pretty cool cat. I playedfor Earle Bruce (in theArena Football League).Urban Meyer was atNotre Dame when I wasthere, so I have beenblessed to be around a lotof great coaches. It is bitsand pieces, but a lot of it is

Former Versailles standout Megan Campbell has had a big season for Dayton volleyball team.PHOTO PROVIDED BY ERIK SCHELKUN

Enjoying breakout seasonBY ROB KISERSports [email protected]

DAYTON — For thosenot familiar with MeganCampbell, her breakoutseason for the Universityof Dayton volleyball teamthis year might come as asurprise.For those who have fol-

lowed Campbell’s careersince her playing days atVersailles, it would havebeen a surprise if she did-n’t have the kind of seasonshe has had.The 6-foot-1 sophomore

middle blocker hasstepped into the startinglineup of a traditionallystrong program in a bigway.Going into Friday’s reg-

ular season finale withNotre Dame, Campbell ledthe team in blocks (149),was second in kills (307)and had the highest at-tack percentage (.421) ofanyone on the team withmore than 10 attempts.The Flyers captured

their third straight A-10title and will be playing intheir sixth straight NCAAtournament.“I hoped I could do

that,” Campbell said.“When you are playing on

a team with so many greatplayers and a lot of highexpectations, you betterhave confidence in your-self — you better be ableto play with confidence.”That’s something

Campbell has alwaysdone.During her freshman

season at Versailles,Campbell first showed theability to step onto a bigstage and perform at thehighest level.She qualified for the

state meet in track andfield in the high jump andwasn’t intimidated in theleast, tying for third witha jump of 5-3.Less than a year later,

she delivered an evenmore impressive perform-ance on the basketballfloor in the Division IIIstate championship game.Campbell, who had seen

little playing time in thepostseason, was forcedinto the game because of afoul situation.She entered with Ver-

sailles trailing 7-6 andquickly hit a shot to givethem the lead.In eight minutes play-

ing time, she hit all four ofher field goal attempts,scored 10 points and theLady Tigers had their firststate title in that sport.And Campbell’s confi-dence showed after the

game, when asked wherethat clutch performancecame from.“I practice against Jus-

tine Raterman every day,”she said at the time.“Compared to that, thiswas easy.”Campbell also had an

All-Ohio career in volley-ball, leading them to oneregional title and four dis-trict titles.Ironically, she now

plays at the same schoolwhere Raterman is a starin basketball.“Justine’s a pretty good

player,” Campbell said. “It(Dayton) is a great school.

UD rollsto winFlyers advanceto tourney finalsLAKE BUENA VISTA,

Fla. (AP) — Josh Parkerscored 15 points andKevin Dillard added 12,leading Dayton to the OldSpice Classic champi-onship game with a 56-49victory over Fairfield onFriday night.

Dayton (4-1) will goagainst Minnesota, a 76-69 winner over IndianaState earlier Friday, in thetitle matchup.

"Obviously, a greatwin," Dayton coach ArchieMiller said. "It feels reallygood, and continues togive not only individualplayers, but our team con-fidence that we have wongames and especially closeones."Parker went 0 for 5

from the floor and didn'tscore Thursday whenDayton beat Wake Forest80-76."It was my teammates.

They told me, just staywith it and don't worryabout what happened,"Parker said. "New game,new setting and it's timeto go. Everybody justcame and we rallied to-gether. Everybody playedbig."Rakim Sanders had 17

points for Fairfield (3-3).He had 21 points andseven rebounds in theStags' 55-44 victory overArizona State on Thurs-day.Dillard had a three-

point play as Dayton wentahead 54-49 with 62 sec-onds to play. He added twolate free throws after atechnical was called onFairfield coach SydneyJohnson."We played hard

enough to win ... You couldtell by my reaction at theend of the game," Johnsonsaid. "I just don't think it'sa great idea to harp on myreaction because I knowit's a really good win forArchie and his squad. Idon't want to take any-thing away from them."After Matt Ka-

vanaugh's basket with 31/2 minutes to play gaveDayton a 51-46 advan-tage, Desmond Wade hit a3 to cut the Fairfielddeficit to 51-49.Kavanaugh finished

with five points and 11 re-bounds.

Megan Campbell goes up for a kill earlier this seasn for Dayton.PHOTO PROVIDED BY ERIK SCHELKUN

“I miss the physicalityof basketball, but volley-ball is the sport I love. Iwouldn’t mind playing afew games (of basketball)now and then.”Her freshman season

Dayton went 28-4, ad-vancing to the secondround of the NCAA tour-nament before losing toOhio State in five sets.Campbell had 42 kills

and 24 blocks in limitedplaying time.“I think it was a little

bit of a learning experi-ence,” she said. “We lostseven girls off that team,so I knew I was going tohave to step up.”Campbell has done that

in a big way.Among the honors she

has earned this season arefirst team All-A-10, beingnamed to the All-A-10Championship team, firstteam academic All-A-10and first team CapitalOne District Five All-Aca-demic team.She was also named A-

10 Player of theWeek four

different times.Campbell had a career

high 17 kills againstGreen Bay in the CountryInn & Suites tournamentand was named tourna-ment MVP.She was also named to

the Blue-and-White Clas-sic all-tournament team.And when it mattered

most, Campbell was at herbest.In the A-10 champi-

onship match, she led theteam with 16 kills andeight blocks and had animpressive .500 attackpercentage, with justthree hitting errors in afour-set win over Xavier.“That was really excit-

ing,” Campbell said. “Youcouldn’t ask for anymorethan that. Playing ourrival Xavier, who hadbeaten us during the sea-son, with the NCAA tour-nament berth on the line.”The Lady Flyers, 25-6,

will learn their fate dur-ing the NCAA selectionshow Sunday at 6 p.m. onESPNU.

“It is very exciting,”Campbell said. “I have noidea (where the Flyerswill be seeded). I can’twait to see where we aregoing to go. We want to goat least as far as we didlast year.”Dayton had a tune up

match with Notre DameFriday, winning 31-29, 25-20, 25-19.Campbell had seven

kills and four blocks.“You don’t want to have

two weeks off before theNCAA tournament,” shesaid. “So, it was good to geton the floor and play amatch.”Now, comes the most ex-

citing part.“I think every athlete

wants to be part of a suc-cessful program,” Camp-bell said. “To have thechance to win conferencechampionships and playin the NCAA tourna-ment.”And as history indi-

cates, no athletes thriveson that opportunity morethan Campbell.

COLUMBUS — Itmight be the biggest ri-valry in college football,but it has become only thesecond-biggest story inOhio State football thisweek.The Ohio State-Michi-

gan game on Saturday atMichigan Stadium is ex-pected to be competitivefor the first time in fouryears and a win by OSUcould be a high point in atumultuous season for theBuckeyes.But all that has been

overshadowed by numer-ous reports that UrbanMeyer could be on his wayto becoming Ohio State’scoach, maybe as soon asnext week.Meyer, 47, led Florida to

two national champi-onships before resigningafter the 2010 season.He has worked as a col-

lege football analyst forESPN this season.Meyer’s name has come

up in almost every discus-sion of who might be thelong-term replacement forJim Tressel ever sinceOhio State forced Tresselto resign in May.Talk of his imminent ar-

rival intensified onWednesday when TheColumbus Dispatchquoted anonymoussources who said Meyerwould become OSU’scoach.This all gets a little

messy because Ohio Statealready has a coach, atleast for now, in LukeFickell, who took overafter Tressel left.Could this have an ef-

fect, either positively or

negatively, on Ohio Statein Saturday’s game?Ohio State’s players

have not been allowed totalk with the media sinceMonday, but at that timeseveral athletes offeredstrong support for theircoach.Also, one of those ath-

letes seemed to indicatethey knew before thisweek that Fickell’s days ashead coach could be num-bered.“Who knows what's

going to happen a weekfrom now or whatever, butI think it would be greatto send him out with a winand then whatever hap-pens, happens,” seniorcenter Mike Brewstersaid. “But there wouldn'tbe a better way to end itthan with a win overMichigan.”Asked what stands out

about Fickell, he said,“There's a lot of things.The main thing is howstrong he's stayed. He wasput in one hell of a situa-tion, a very unique situa-tion, and the way he'shandled himself and theway he's kept this team to-gether throughout it allhas been the most impres-sive thing.“It could have been very

easy for the team to fallapart or point fingers andthat never happened, andthat's because of him.”Fickell said on Wednes-

day that he “lives in a bub-ble” where he is notdistracted by many thingsoutside the football pro-gram, but acknowledgedhis players probably don’t.“I wish they could live

in the bubble I do butthat’s just not the case,” hesaid.

Senior linebacker An-drew Sweat says mostplayers are able to ignorecoaching rumors.“You just focus on the

game at hand, football.Obviously, there are dis-tractions. But you focuson what you love and whyyou came here and whyyou get up every day andgo into the (Woody Hayes)facility. It’s because welove the game of football,”he said.Sweat offered a strong

endorsement of Fickell,saying he was “the mostunbelievable coach I everplayed for.

“Not only has he mademe a better football playerbut he’s made me a betterperson and all-around in-dividual. He demands ex-cellence out of you everyday, both on the field andoff the field. I think CoachFickell is the greatestcoach I’ve ever had.”Senior defensive back

Tyler Moeller said, “Youfight for this team, youfight for the program, youfight for the university,but the person I’m fight-ing for is Coach Fickell.“I think he has done a

great job this year withthe circumstances. He’s agreat coach and I have hisback, no matter what.”It’s uncertain what mix-

ing those kinds of feelingsabout their coach with ru-mors about this being hislast game in charge willdo to Ohio State’s playersin Saturday’s game.Some people have com-

pared it to 1987 whenOhio State went to Michi-gan with Earle Bruce as alame duck coach in hislast game and won 23-20as an underdog.

COLUMBUS (AP) —William Buford scored 17of his 25 points in the sec-ond half and No. 3 OhioState routed Valparaiso80-47 on Friday night.Aaron Craft added 15

points and eight assistsfor the Buckeyes (6-0),who tuned up for a bighome showdown againstNo. 6 Duke on Tuesday.Jared Sullinger had 14points and 13 reboundsand Deshaun Thomaschipped in with 12 points.Buford had four points

in Ohio State's 19-2 surgeright after the break, andthe crowd used the finalminute to serenade

Michigan with derisivecheers ahead of theirfootball game on Satur-day.Ohio State had just six

turnovers and scored 24points off of Valparaiso's18 miscues.The Crusaders also

shot just 34 percent fromthe field against OhioState's opportunistic de-fense. Kevin Van Wijk, a6-foot-8 post from theNetherlands, came in av-eraging 17.8 points agame but was held score-less with four fouls. No. 2scorer Ryan Broekhoffwas averaging 15.5points and had just

seven.The game clearly tilted

at the outset of the sec-ond half. The Buckeyesbrought a four-point leadinto the final 20 minutes,but they quickly assertedthemselves at both endsof the floor.The Crusaders had the

ball first via alternatepossession, but Craftcame in out of nowhere tosteal the ball out of VanWijk's hands when hewas about to score on abackdoor pass. Sullingerthen popped out for a 15-foot jumper and the

BEREA, Ohio (AP) —Peyton Hillis walked outof the Browns' locker roomFriday carrying a play-book under his right arm.On Sunday, he hopes he'scarrying a football.At long last.Cleveland's besieged

running back, who hasmissed the past six gameswith a severely strainedleft hamstring, could re-turn to the field this weekwhen the Browns (4-6)visit the Cincinnati Ben-gals (6-4). It's a surprisingdevelopment consideringBrowns coach Pat Shur-mur ruled him out whenthe week began and Hillisdid not practice Wednes-day or Thursday.But Hillis has made

major progress in the pastfew days, and is on thebrink of a long-awaited,and perhaps dramatic, re-turn."I miss playing foot-

ball," he said. "It's what Iwas brought up my wholelife to do. I'm excited to getout there playing a game.I'm excited about winninggames. I'm excited to seehow I can play during thistime. I'm excited I feel 100percent again."Hillis, whose fall from

stardom has been asabrupt as his rise, is readyto resume his stormy sea-son."I've just got to find a

way to overcome all of thisand be the player I used tobe," he said.Hillis practiced Friday

for the first time sinceNov. 4, when he re-injuredhis hamstring two daysbefore a game in Houston.During the portion ofpractice open to themedia, Hillis appeared tobe fully healed. He carriedthe ball a few times, andnear the end of the work-out, Hillis caught a shortpass and turned up fieldwith a burst of speed.Shurmur said it would

be a game-time decisionwhether Hillis plays."Because he hasn't

played ball in a long time,I think it's still importantthat I'm cautious with hisreturn," Shurmur said.In addition to possibly

having Hillis back, theBrowns will have runningback Montario Hardesty,who has missed the pastthree games with a calf in-jury. With Hillis andHardesty sidelined, ChrisOgbonnaya rushed for 115yards last week in a win

over Jacksonville.Shurmur wouldn't be

pinned down on whowould start."If Hillis is available, he

will be available becausehe's ready to play," hesaid. "Now, whether he'llstart or not I'll have to de-cide that on Sunday. Wehave running backs com-ing back from injury sonone of them can handle afull load and I think that'san important thing to re-member."It figures Hillis' return

would be a spectacle. Hissecond season in Cleve-land has been nothingshort of a sideshow sinceit began.Hillis squabbled pub-

licly with the Browns overa possible contract exten-sion before both sides de-cided to table discussions.He missed Cleveland'sgame on Sept. 23 withstrep throat, a decision hesaid he made on the ad-vice of his agent. Hillis gothurt on Oct. 16 at Oak-land, and two weeks latermissed a Halloween partyfor needy kids, an absencehe blamed on a miscom-munication.There was his meeting

with some of the Browns'

team leaders, who con-fronted him about being adistraction and missingtreatments for his injurywhen he went to Arkansaslast month to get marriedduring a work week. Hillisthen re-injured his ham-string in practice, twodays before he had hopedto come back.It's been a mess, one

Hillis hopes to clean up."Things happen," he

said, dismissing the sug-gestion his season hasbeen a "nightmare.""I guess when more peo-

ple are looking at youeverything seems more se-vere. I've got to be respon-sible and understand thatas well, that no matterwhat you go through,you've always got to keepa good mindset and try togo through it as best youcan."As far as this year,

goes, I just look at likebumps in the road youhave to overcome. That'sin life with everybody."For the past six Sun-

days, Hillis has been re-duced to the role ofcheerleader. It's been ago-nizing to stand on thesideline in sweats andwatch. It's pained him not

to be able to help his team."It's awful," he said.Hillis believes his recov-

ery was hastened by aplatelet-rich plasma(PRP) injection into his in-jured hamstring. It's atreatment that involvesextracting blood from pa-tients and re-injecting justthe plasma.The procedureis not prohibited by leaguepolicies, said NFLspokesman Greg Aiello."It's supposed to make

you heal a lot faster thanwhat it was and that's ob-viously what it did," hesaid. "It's been 2½ weekssince the shot and I'msteadily improving day byday."With his smash-and-

dash running style, Hillisran for nearly 1,200 yardsand 11 touchdowns lastseason, his first with theBrowns, who acquired himin a trade from Denver. Hebecame an instant fa-vorite with Clevelandfans, who helped vote himonto the cover of the Mad-den 12 video game, givinghim national exposure.But there's been noth-

ing but problems this sea-son, leading some tospeculate that fame hasgone to Hillis' head.

from coach Nees.”And no one is happier to

see Jones’ success thanNees.“Obviously, we are all

very proud of Antwon(Jones) and what he hasaccomplished,” Nees said.“He has done a great joband has some amazingplayers. He has a receiverthat has set a nationalrecord and a running backthat is going D-I.”The receiver Nees was

referring to is Gehrig Di-eter.The 6-foot-3 senior

caught 12 passes for 447yards in a game againstElkhart Central earlierthis season, a nationalrecord.He caught 59 passes for

1,648 yards and 19 touch-downs during the regularseason and surpassed2,000 yards for the seasonin the Panthers sate semi-final win.“Right now, we have

four guys playing D-I incollege and we will havetwo more on this year’steam (that go D-I),” Jonessaid. “But, besides that wehave a lot of guys playingD-II and D-III in college.”And Jones said the

turnaround was almostinstantaneous.“My first year we went

7-3 and lost to the even-tual state runnerup in theplayoffs,” Jones said. “Welost to them again in mysecond year and last yearwe lost in the playoffs to ateam that went to theFinal Four. We are 4A,which is similar to Divi-sion II in Ohio. There arefive divisions in Indiana.”Jones has also won a

conference title in thehighly-competitive North-ern Indiana Conference.“That was the first one

we had won in a long timein football,” he said. “Weactually have three teamsfrom our conference play-ing for a state title thisweekend.”And they will be in for a

challenge against Indi-anapolis Cathedral, whobeat Ohio power Cincin-nati Moeller earlier thisseason.“When we (South Bend

Washington) won thestate title in 1973, we beatthe same school (Indi-anapolis Cathedral) 19-13in the championshipgame,” Jones said. “So,hopefully that is some

good karma.”Jones said he never en-

visioned being a coachwhen he was player.“It seemed pretty bor-

ing to me,” he said with alaugh. “Actually, it is justthe opposite.You are doingsomething all the time,whether it is scouting,watching films, practic-ing.”And this has been a his-

toric season in manyways.“There is a lot of excite-

ment connected with this,”Jones said. “I am the firstblack coach to coach in anIndiana state champi-onship game, we had a re-ceiver set a nationalrecord. Everyone in thecommunity is pretty ex-cited.”The Indiana state

championships are playedat Lucas Oil Field, homeof the Indianapolis Colts.“We did a walk-through

this morning,” Jones saidFriday. “We are going toget something to eat, go toone of the games tonightand hopefully, go out to-morrow and win our statechampionship.”And allow Jones to have

the last laugh.
