City to finalize 2012 budget
BY NANCY SPENCER nspencer@delphosherald.com DELPHOS December will be a busy month for Delphos City Council as the 2012 budget is hashed out. Finance Committee Chair Councilman Jim Knebel announced an upcoming meeting during Mondays final November council meeting. The committee and department leaders will meet at 7 p.m. Dec. 1. One concern discussed Monday focused on health care insurance quotes, noting a 24 percent markup on coverage costs. The current budget includes a 12 percent markup. Council heard the first reading of an ordinance to enter a personal service contract with Glen Lause to provide legal services to the city on an as-needed basis for the time period of Jan. 1, 2012, through Dec. 31 2012, not to exceed $15,000. Another ordinance heard on first reading authorizes the mayor and/or safety service director to enter a contract not to exceed $29,300 with Kohli and Kaliher Assoc., Inc. as engineers for the Elida Road widening and resurfacDelphos, Ohio ing project. The project consists of widening the pavement to 36 feet between Summers Lane and Eastowne Plaza, resurfacing and paint striping for three lanes with a center turn lane from Summers Lane to the east corporation limit. The city has applied for an 80/20 match Ohio Public Works Commission grant for the project estimated to cost $260,000. If the city receives funding and council approves the project, the citys price tag will be approximately $52,000 plus the cost of engineering. OPWC funds cannot be used for engineering. Mayor Michael Gallmeier announced 13 bags of outerwear were collected at the citys coat drive on Nov. 12. Councilman Mark Clement voiced concern about the Elida Road project near the Lima Mall and what route Delphos EMS takes when on a run to St. Ritas Medical Center. Fire Chief Dave McNeal said the ambulances either turn south on Diller or Baty roads just outside of Elida or south on Eastown Road to connect to State Route 81. The next council meeting will begin at 7 p.m. Dec. 5 in the council chambers at the Delphos Municipal Building.

thing that helps people so they can get things at sale prices and spread out the payments and have it in time for the holidays. Krutak also attributes his forecast to advertising such as circulars in The Herald and emails to customers with the stores rewards card. The company orders a given stores inventory without a lot of wiggle room. Therefore, residents may want to buy early instead of waiting until shortly before Christmas. This year, theyve bought heavily in certain categories and less in others. They bought higher in electronics, apparel and toys. They bought less in Christmas decorations; those havent sold as early as they did last year but that will take off after Thanksgiving, he said.

Higher prices dont deter holiday travels

CHICAGO (AP) Whether on the highway or at home, Americans will pay more to celebrate Thanksgiving this year. But higher gas prices and costlier airfare are not stopping millions of people from traveling for the holiday. About 42.5 million people are expected to drive, fly or ride trains to their Thanksgiving destinations, according to travel tracker AAA. Thats the highest number since the start of the recession. Ninety percent of them will hit the road, and it wont be cheap. Drivers will pay almost 20 percent more for gas, which has reached an average of $3.42 a gallon. Air travelers have been hit, too. The average round-trip airfare for the top 40 U.S. routes is $212, up 20 percent from last year. Rail tickets on most one-way Amtrak trips have climbed 2 to 5 percent. Hotel and motel rates are also up slightly. Some motorists who tried to get an early start along the Pennsylvania Turnpike found themselves stopped by or stuck in a gooey mess

The Delphos Public Librarys annual Food for Fines campaign will run through Dec. 30. Bring in any overdue material with a donation and the fines will be waived. This does not include fines already charged to an account. Any canned goods, paper products, packaged meals, baby items or personal products are accepted. Items will be given to the Delphos Community Christmas Project and to the CWU Interfaith Thrift Shop.

For The Record FBI arrests 7 in Amish Travel OBITUARIES

haircut attacks in Ohio

BERGHOLZ (AP) Federal authorities have arrested seven men in Ohio on federal hate crime charges in hair-cutting attacks against the Amish. Authorities arrested the men this morning at their compound in eastern Ohio. A spokesman for the U.S. attorneys office in Cleveland says the men are expected to be arraigned later Wednesday. Authorities say members

of a breakaway Amish group forcefully cut the beards and hair of several Amish men and women in recent months. Among those arrested Friday are the breakaway groups leader and three of his sons. Cutting the hair is a highly offensive act to the Amish, who believe the Bible instructs women to let their hair grow long and men to grow beards and stop shaving once they marry.

POLICE REPORT Driver cited for failure to yield

At 4:16 p.m. on Monday, a collision occurred when the driver of one vehicle failed to yield the right of way when entering a roadway. Mary Williams, 35, of Middle Point, was attempting to exit the driveway of Country Meadows, located in the 900 block of Lima Avenue. Cheryl Osting, 52, of Delphos, was traveling westbound on Lima Avenue when Williams attempted

to make a right turn onto Lima Avenue and failed to see Ostings vehicle. This resulted in Williams vehicle striking Ostings vehicle in the right side. There were no injuries reported. There was disabling damage done to Ostings vehicle and functional to Williams. Williams was cited for failure to yield the right of way when entering a roadway.

second job earlier this year. His new work schedule has helped pay the bills but leaves him without time to travel to Connecticut to spend the holiday with his wifes family. This year, the couple and their teenage son, Raven, will celebrate Thanksgiving with his mother, neighbors and friends in town. When you cant travel and people cant travel to you, you gather your closest friends. And that way nobody has to pay an arm and a leg, and everyone can eat well, Buchwald said. But having relatives over for dinner is becoming more expensive, too. A 16-pound turkey and all the trimmings will cost an average of $49.20, a 13 percent jump from last year, or about $5.73 more, according to the American Farm Bureau Federation, which says grocers have raised prices to keep pace with higher-priced commodities. In Pawtucket, R.I., Jackie Galinis was among those looking for help to put a proper meal on the table. She stopped at a community center this week seeking a donated food basket. But by the time she arrived, all 300 turkeys had been claimed. So Galinis, an unemployed retail worker, will make do with whats in her apartment. Well have to eat whatever Ive got, so Im thinking chicken, she said. Then her eyes lit up. Actually, I think Ive got red meat in the freezer, some corned beef. We could do a boiled dinner. Carole Goldsmith of Fresno, Calif., decided she didnt need to have a feast, even if she could still afford it. Goldsmith, an administrator at a community college in Coalinga, Calif., said she typically hosts an over-the-top meal for friends and family. This year, she canceled the meal and donated a dozen turkeys to two homeless shelters. She plans to spend Thursday volunteering before holding a small celebration Friday with soup, bread and lots of gratitude. I think everybody is OK with it, she said. They understand. Everybody is in a different place than they were a year ago.

Elida sees few problems with new building

BY STACY TAFF staff@delphosherald.com ELIDAThe Elida Local Schools Board of Education convened for its November meeting Tuesday evening to discuss day-to-day issues and honor the achievements of staff and students. Its hard to believe were already a quarter of the way through the new school year, Superintendent Don Diglia said. There are so many positive things going on and were settled in the new high school building. We knew when we started moving everything in here that there would be a transition period, we knew it wouldnt be perfect. Weve been working through a few minor issues. This is our first heat season and there are still a few kinks in that. There were some small issues with the air conditioning at the beginning of the year but we worked those out. Weve also run into some problems with cell phone reception. That may seem like a plus to some people but we plan to get that ironed out so the students and faculty can have access to that in the event of an emergency. Considering this is a new facility, I think the fact that we have so few issues is remarkable. The board honored Dave Desenberg and Marsha Jackson with the Employee Excellence Award. The two were chosen based on nominations by members of the staff and backed up by the award committee and Superintendent Diglia. Students of the month for November were as follows: Elida Elementary Caleb Harmon, Haleigh Heising, Nocona Sackinger; Elida Middle School Lauren Bull, Sebastian Kunkleman, Derek Snider; Elida High School Patricia Brockert, Kayla Little, Dakota Mathias, Nicholas Pauff.

Ohio analysis says crashes up at Thanksgiving

stock at the Continental

COLUMBUS (AP) The Ohio Department of Transportation is warning Thanksgiving travelers that an analysis shows the number of crashes spikes the Wednesday evening before the holiday and the following Sunday evening. In a release Tuesday, the department says traffic volume increases nearly 70 percent over the five-day holiday period. During the period in 2010, there were 3,229 crashes, with 83 injuries and 16 deaths. Department Director Jerry Wray says the analysis of the holiday period from 2006 to 2010 shows more than half of the collisions were due to driver behavior, including distracted driving or following another vehicle too closely.

Congress next fights over jobless aid, tax breaks

By ALAN FRAM The Associated Press WASHINGTON Congress failed deficit-cutting supercommittee has faded away but the pressure on lawmakers to quickly confront a stack of expensive economic issues is only growing. Before leaving town for Christmas and New Years, lawmakers face decisions on whether to renew payroll tax cuts that have meant an average of nearly $1,000 for more than 120 million families this year. Congress also must determine whether to extend unemployment benefits for millions of long-term jobless Americans. Without action, both expire Jan. 1. Also on the list: Whether to prevent a 27 percent cut in Medicare reimbursements to doctors that occurs on New Years Day. And oh, yes figuring out how to avoid an embarrassing mid-December government shutdown, something that has become a frequent exercise in todays bitterly divided Congress. Protecting the payroll tax cuts, jobless benefits and doctors payments could cost $200
By PHILIP ELLIOTT The Associated Press

DEAR EDITOR, I am writing in response to Mike Fords front page article in the Friday, Nov. 18 Herald regarding the U.S. Postal Service. In it were a couple of points that I felt should be clarified. He is right when he said that part of the reason the USPS was in financial trouble was due to online bill paying, e-mails, etc., but another reason is the economy as a whole. Companies that used to do a lot of 1st class and bulk mailings have tightened their belts and really started watching their bottom line to try and save money. The amount of mail we deliver on a daily basis has really dropped in the past few years because of this and this has also contributed to our loss of income. He also goes on to mention about the $5.5 billion payment we must make to the retirees health fund. He is right when he said that Congress mandated the USPS in 2006 to prefund this account. However, it must be said that Congress mandated us to pre-fund FUTURE retiree health benefits and they ordered it to be a 75-year commitment and that it was to be done in only 10 years. This is the major reason why the Postal Service is hurting financially right now. In other words, the USPS is being required to pre-fund a health fund for retirees who wont be born for 20 or 30 years yet. No other company in America is required to do this yet they want us to do it, again, a 75-year commitment in only 10 years. Imagine a bank telling you that they will agree to give you a 35-year house loan but they want it paid back in 10 years. If not for this mandate, the USPS would have made a profit in every year from 2006 2010. At present, there are several bills being pushed through Congress and I will touch on two of them H.R. 2309 and H.R. 1351. H.R. 2309 is sponsored by Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Ca) and is being quickly pushed through Congress. It would radically downsize the Postal Service by mandating a massive round of post office closings, eliminating Saturday delivery, laying off approximately 40-50 thousand workers, cutting health benefits and gutting our collective bargaining rights, the same things that have been happening in Wisconsin, Michigan and Ohio. It would devastate if not destroy the Postal Service, an agency that has been in existence since Benjamin Franklin created it over 200 years ago. I know some of you may say that it would not matter to you if Saturdays were eliminated but lets look at those who expect us to deliver 6 days a week. Those who rely on us to bring their medicine to them every day, their OSU tickets, birthday and other greeting cards, Amazon, E-Bay, the list goes on and on.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

The mailers of these items also rely on us for 6-day delivery. Now, if they could not rely on us to continue doing this and they still expected delivery 6 days a week, do you think theyd stay with us? No, theyd find another company who would make the commitment to deliver for them. When talk first arose last year about going to 5-day delivery, a major news agency looked into alternate delivery of their magazines in one of our major metropolitan areas. H.R. 1351 is another bill being talked about in Congress; the same bill that many of our unions held an informational picket at every Representatives office all over the country on Sept. 27, 2011, for. Over the years, the Postal Service has contributed to the Civil Service Retirement System and since 1984 the Federal Employees Retirement System. Two independent agencies did studies as to how much was already in the pension fund and they found that over the years the USPS has been overcharged, and thus, has overpaid this fund $55-75 billion. H.R.1351 would allow the USPS to have access to these funds to meet their obligation to the pre-funding mandate. It would save the Postal Service from devastating cuts and drastically cutting service. This is money that the USPS has paid into this fund, why cant we simply have it back? That is a question we have tried asking our congressman for a long time now, thus the reason we held that informational picket. We are asking everyone to contact their Representatives and ask them to preserve 6 day delivery and to please support H.R.1351 and also to oppose H.R.2309. Our local Congressmans phone numbers are: Rep. Jim Jordan (202) 225-2676, for those in the 4th Congressional district; and Rep.Bob Latta (202) 225-6405, for those in the 5th Congressional district. We deliver mail to every address in the country six days a week. We have been voted the most trusted federal agency for 6 years in a row. We are the center of a $1.3 trillion mailing industry that supports between 8 million and 9 million jobs. We love what we do and we love serving our customers. We want to fulfill our obligation to the pre-funding mandate but we want to do it in a way that will preserve the Postal Service as we know it today. We cannot do this alone and we are asking for your help by contacting your Congressmen. More information can be found at our letter carriers national web site, www.nalc.org. Thank you, Chuck Shumaker Steward Br. 182, Delphos

Dont slash military budget, GOP contenders say

He blamed Obama for that, adding, We need to protect America and protect our troops and our military and stop the idea of Obamacare. Texas Gov. Rick Perry was harshly critical of the magnitude of potential cuts saying the Obama administrations Pentagon chief had called them irresponsible. If Leon Panetta is an honorable man, he should resign in protest, Perry said. Neither Perry nor Romney specified if they support any cuts in the Pentagons accounts, but Gingrich and Jon Huntsman, one-time ambassador to China, both indicated the topic should be on the table as budget-cutters look for savings. Its clear that there are some things you can do to defense that are less expensive, said Gingrich. Only Rep. Ron Paul of Texas sounded unperturbed, saying that despite ominous talk, lawmakers are considering only reductions in future military growth, not actual cuts. In a race constantly in flux, the former House speaker has recently emerged as Romneys principal rival atop the public

billion or more. But faced with a limp economy, the huge federal debt, next years presidential and congressional elections, and the supercommittees finger-pointing, partisan breakdown, clashes over each are inevitable. Right now people are mad and suffering so much from fiscal fatigue that its really hard to say what they want, Steve Bell, a longtime Senate Republican budget aide who studies economic policy at the moderate Bipartisan Policy Institute, said of lawmakers. There had been some hope of including language dealing with the payroll tax, jobless benefits and Medicare payments to doctors in whatever debt-cutting proposal the supercommittee produced. That would have improved their chances of approval because Congress was to consider the debt panels package under special expedited procedures. Without that protection, the fate of the payroll tax, unemployment and Medicare proposals is more clouded, with battles expected over the size of each and how if at all to pay for them. There at least would have

been some sugar for everybodys taste buds if the proposals were part of a supercommittee package, said Joseph Minarik, a former Democratic congressional aide and now research director for nonpartisan, business-led Committee for Economic Development. Helping the chances for eventual enactment of the three proposals is a consensus among many economists that each initiative helps the economy by pumping billions of dollars into it. The action is likely to start in the Democratic-led Senate, where leaders are expected to force a vote on a proposal to extend the payroll tax cut. The proposed extension would be paid for by boosting levies on people earning $1 million or more per year making it certain to fail but providing Democrats with a vote they hope to use against GOP candidates next year. Tell them, Dont be a Grinch, Obama told a cheering crowd in Manchester, N.H., on Tuesday, saying thats the message they should send Congress. Dont vote to raise taxes on working Americans during the holidays.
opinion polls. As he looked around him, he saw other rivals who once held that position Bachmann, Perry and businessman Herman Cain among them. They and the other GOP would-be commanders-inchief made their points in a national security debate a mere six weeks before the Iowa caucuses begin the formal competition for delegates to next summers National Republican Convention. The venerable DAR Constitution Hall was the site a few blocks from the White House and as close as most if not all of the GOP hopefuls are likely to get. On immigration, Gingrich said that while some who are in the country illegally should be forced to leave the country, that wasnt true for all of them. If youve been here 25 years and you got three kids and two grandkids, youve been paying taxes and obeying the law, you belong to a local church, I dont think were going to separate you from your family, uproot you forcefully and kick you out, he said.

WASHINGTON Republican presidential hopefuls warned in near unanimity against deep cuts in the nations defense budget Tuesday night, assailing President Barack Obama in campaign debate but disagreeing over the extent of reductions the Pentagon should absorb to reduce deficits and repair the frail U.S. economy. The debate ranged widely, from Irans threat to develop a nuclear weapon to the antiterror Patriot Act, the war in Afghanistan, U.S-Pakistan relations and illegal immigrants who have entered the U.S. across the Mexican border. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said some should be allowed to stay, drawing fire from rivals Mitt Romney and Michele Bachman. On defense spending, former Massachusetts Gov. Romney said nearly $1 trillion in cuts are on the horizon for the Pentagon over the next decade, noting that is the same as the costs for the nations new health care law.

One Year Ago The Fort Jennings High School class of 1950 met recently at the Outpost for its 60th reunion. Two members, Betty (Schram) Bonifas and Bill Wieging are deceased. The remaining members attending were Mark Hohenbrink, Dolly (Martin) Blankemeyer, Barbara (Kohls) Swick, Ruth (Stechschulte) Ditto, Helen (Geise) Kimmett, Betty (Lucke) Ricker, Catherine (Hellman) Warnecke and Lenore (Rode) Hemker, Len Warnecke, Norman Schimmoeller, Eugene Wittler and Walter Trenkamp. 25 Years Ago 1986 Steve Pohlman, a graduate of St. Johns High School, is starting forward at the Ohio Northern University basketball team. Pohlman, a 6-4 senior management major, is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert Pohlman of Delphos. Eighteen members of the Catholic Ladies of Columbia, Landeck, attended the November meeting. The Christmas party will be Dec. 9 in the church basement. Reservations must be made by Dec. 4. Contact either Norma Ditto, Lena Miller or Velma Wehri. Janet Siefker, Bonnie Merschman, Diane Wehri and Louise Westbay will be on the committee. Members of the Elida Garden Club met at the home of Mrs. Roy Wright for their November meeting. Mrs. Wright and Mrs. John Szuch will stuff wire frames with evergreens before the civic wreath workshop for hanging of the greens in December. The Christmas Tree Festival will be held Nov. 28 to Dec. 14 at the Allen County Museum. The club entry, a corn husk tree, will be on display then sold in the silent auction. 50 Years Ago 1961 The regular meeting of Cub Scout Pack 42 was held recently in the Little Theater of St. Johns School. Bobcat awards were conferred to David Drerup, Charles Raabe, Dale Weber, David Wittler and Michael Ditto. Wolf awards went to Mike Bendele and Virgil Kill. Bear award to William Metcalf and Lion award to David Ditto. A silver arrow achievement award was presented to Jerry Schwinnen.

IT WAS NEWS THEN

Fourteen boys who are now 12 years old and now ineligible to play another season were awarded trophies at the annual banquet of the Midget Football teams. Receiving trophies were: Vikings Jeff Moorman, Tom Grothous, Gary Liggett, Mike Clark and Mike Dray; Red Mike Van Meter, Dick Hayes, Bob Looser, Pat Rode and David Will; Mohawks Dave McBee, Danny Klausing, Tom Schlereth and Mike Teman. A hunting party returned to Delphos after a weekend in Michigan with a deer and a story that one would question if it had been a fishing trip. Dick Kaskel, Rev. Thomas Gorman, Steve Dickman and Gene Hayes, all of Delphos, and Dr. Norman Browning of Lima, were hunting when Dickman bagged the deer. As Dick Kaskel told it; Dickman was asleep under a tree with his gun within reach. A noise awakened him, and when he jumped to his feet and seized his gun, the gun went off killing the deer. 75 Years Ago 1936 Rev. Joseph C. Richards, pastor of the Delphos Methodist Church, C. W. Gordermann, Frank McClure and Fred Lehman of near Middle Point, left Sunday on a hunting trip to Colorado. They will hunt for jackrabbits. This specie runs wild in Colorado and hunting and shooting the animals is said to be great sport. A program, advertising a well-known Delphos product, Kings Campholotion, is to be broadcast regularly over WJW, Akron, 1210 KC beginning Tuesday. King and Stallkamps, manufacturers of the product, have made arrangements whereby the Campholotion may be secured at the Akron Pharmacy and Wheeler Drugs, both in Akron. The Jefferson High School auditorium was filled to capacity Sunday night to hear the Thanksgiving Musicale which was presented under the sponsorship of the Delphos Band Mothers Association. Mrs. H. F. Buchholtz, president of the organization, thanked the Delphos people for the fine cooperation given in connection with the program and drive which is being made in this city.

WASHINGTON Another debate, another episode of The Dating Game. Will the winner be contestant Number One, Two ... Eight? The truth is, everyone has always known who the Republican nominee will be, but we enjoy the game. For a while. By now, self-caricature has evolved into full-blown self-mockery, and the debate season has begun to wear thinner than an unmanly mans pizza crust. Seriously. How could anyone wish to hasten the end of a campaign in which a presidential candidate declares that manliness corresponds to the number of toppings on a pizza? Or who, speaking at a Christian-themed amusement park, recalls breaking a sweat upon learning the too-foreignsounding name of his cancer physician, Dr. Abdallah? Or whose chief of staff smokes cigarettes in campaign ads? Herman Cain is a one-man clown car. God bless and peace be upon him. Despite all this stuff swirling around in our heads, weve learned through the weeks of prime-time performance that each candidate, though somehow not quite right for the presidency, is quintessentially right for something else, perhaps previously unforeseen. Conventional wisdom has always held that not all candidates are seriously running for president when they run for president. To every loser goes a trophy of some sort book sales, speaking engagements, secondary government roles. Ka-ching, ka-ching, kaching, in other words, isnt just a Herman Cain stab at Chinas capital city. To their credit, every Republican candidate has brought valuable entertainment to a country tempest-tossed by despair. But what happens next? What might we expect to see in 2012 after the nomi-

Career advice for would-be presidents

KATHLEEN PARKER

Point of View
nee has been selected and the remainders are left to reinvent themselves? Herewith a few suggestions: Newt Gingrich is universally known as a man of ideas. He is also known as a man of mostly bad ideas. The rule usually is nine out of 10 are lousy, but one is fabulous. One fabulous idea a month could be helpful at a time when most politicians are jogging in mud. It is also widely believed that Gingrich cant win a general election thanks to his considerable baggage, but more specifically because he is simply out of touch with the nations ennui. His recent remark that the Occupy Wall Street crowd should get a bath and a job as though Americans are willfully unemployed will be viewed as so callous as to disqualify him for employment in the Oval Office. Therefore, Gingrich should become Czar of the Office of Ideas and amuse himself down the hall from the president, appearing nightly on Cains new late-night Fox television show. But of course Cain should have his own show! What else for the former radio talk-show host/preacher/pizza man? Hes likable, telegenic, talkative, irreverent, quick-witted and the sort of dinner-party guest who makes a good television host. If he doesnt have a contract by the end of January, he needs a new agent. Speaking of television shows, Rick Perry has gameshow host etched in his face. Adorable and silly, hes wasting his time governing the state

of Texas. He needs to harness his inner giggle bunny and hit the stage. Theres hardly any air between Bring it! and Come on down! Now to the less-amusing candidates, beginning with the too-smart-for-his-own-good Jon Huntsman. The Republican nobody loves except for Democrats and independents -- Huntsman will not be the nominee. However, fluent in Mandarin Chinese, the former governor and ambassador to China is central castings choice for secretary of state. Ron Paul? He is our Jiminy Cricket, the nations conscience who utters unspeakable truths. In the coming Republican administration, Paul will head the newly created Congressional Office of Reality. Every day hell release a summary of government stupidity, called The Daily Scowl, which will delight voters and make politicians feel virtuous. He will slam his door for tour groups, who will applaud and move along. Rick Santorum will host a weekly Fox show called The Gathering Storm. The un-Fareed Zakaria, he will conduct a global conversation about Americas place in the world and connect the dots showing new alliances forming against the U.S. Regular features will include a Paranoia Thermometer, a terrorist tracking map and a real-time Conspiracy Busters segment in which Special Forces swarm suspected terrorist meetings while viewers watch. Suggested soundtrack: the theme from Jaws. Which brings us finally to Michele Bachmann and Mitt Romney, one of whom will be the nominee and very possibly the next president. Although both candidates have perfect hair, the nominee will not be a woman.

Five down with flu at Amish Cooks

BY LOVINA EICHER This is Saturday afternoon. Our day is going differently than expected. Five of our children are down with the flu. Daughter Lovina was the first one to get sick, she came home from school yesterday not feeling well. This morning four more of the children woke up with some sort of bug. It seems to be like a stomach flu. I do hope it leaves our house soon so the rest of us wont catch it. A lot of my day has been spent taking care of the sick. I decided to sit down and write my column in between taking care of the children. None of them seem to want to eat but I have been giving them liquids to keep them hydrated. Meanwhile, husband Joe is out deer hunting with son Benjamin. Well, Benjamin is really just going along for the fun of it. Some friends that live nearby have offered for Joe to hunt their woods. Joe doesnt have any work next week so he should have time to go deer hunting then, also. Joe and Benjamin left early this morning before daylight and while they saw a deer, they didnt get it. Most of the children said they werent hungry but I still made breakfast. I made biscuits, sausage gravy and fried eggs. Joe and Benjamin were glad to see the breakfast when they came home around 9:30 a.m. Daughter Loretta washed dishes and swept floors for me. So far she is not on the sick list and has done a good job of helping me around the house. I brought all the laundry up from the basement that we had washed yesterday. Everything was dry so we folded it and put it away. I hung a few pieces outside yesterday but it was so cold and windy it would have been hard to keep all the clothes on the wash line. I sure do appreciate the lines put in the basement to dry clothes in the winter months. With the coal-stove being down there, it does not take long for clothes to dry. I am glad we did our weekly cleaning yesterday so that is off the list. Also glad we did the laundry. Daughter Elizabeth baked some Outrageous Chocolate Chip Cookies yesterday. They are delicious but not going as fast as they usually do with all the sickness around. Hopefully this flu will be gone by Thanksgiving. I bought a 24-pound turkey and we plan to have Jacob and Emmas here for Thanksgiving dinner. This week will go fast with Joe being home and only a 3-day school week. The first semester of school is already over and report cards were handed out. Verena seems to be doing well with her school work despite all that has gone on with her over the past 1 1/2 years. Kevin, 6, is always excited to come home from school to let me know if he has learned something new. One evening when we were eating supper he said Mom, I know the days of the week now. I was amazed that he knew them. Last night he came home and said Mom I can count to 100 by fives and started counting. He was oh-so-proud to come home with a certificate saying he could count to 100 and wanted me to hang it on the refrigerator. He said now I need to learn how to count to one million. Lovina, 7, is a good help with Kevin. She is always trying to teach him new things that she is learning in first grade. Our thoughts and prayers are with our friend Linda and family as she struggles with cancer. May God be with them as they go through this trial of life. Lindas husband and daughter are both teachers at our school and her son has been our childrens bus driver for years. May God bless them and all of you wonderful readers. I will share a new biscuit recipe that I tried this morning. They turned out nice and flaky. I like to try different kinds of biscuits instead of using the same ones all the time.

Football preview
By JIM METCALFE jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com

Bulldogs ready for more grid history

Elidas football crew will be making its first-ever trek to the state semifinals Friday when they take on Division III foe Springfield Shawnee at Piqua Stadium. The good part is the Shawnee 11 is also doing the same thing, a fact that Bulldog head coach Jason Carpenter pointed out. If there are any nerves, both will have them. In fact, I dont anticipate any nerves on our part; I feel if we would have had them, it would be against Columbus deSales, Carpenter noted. The kids are excited and I expect a great week of preparation. Well be ready to play come Friday. With the likes of senior quarterback Reggie McAdams throwing to senior receivers Austin Etzler and tight end Jeremy Newby and juniors Brandon Stinson and Nick Pauff, plus senior scatback Colin Blymyer carrying the load in the running game all operating behind the line of senior Josh Dawson, junior Brandon Smiley, senior Theran Carroll, senior Josh Haller and junior Nickoli Sackinger (averaging 202 pounds) the Bulldogs will have to deal with another big, strong and quick defense. I am impressed by how well they fly around and get to the ball. They have good size up front, two veteran linebackers that are the keys to the defense and two veteran cornerbacks and solid safeties, Carpenter noted. They run a 5-2 a lot but I figure against our spread offense, well see a 4-2-5 look. Their linebackers in particular are really good and we have to get them blocked. The Elida (10-3) defense, with its solid linebacking crew led by juniors Quentin Poling (middle) and Kevin Russell and Jesse Wheeler (outside), will need its front four: ends Ian Dukehart (senior) and Trent Long (junior) and tackles Chance Weitz (sophomore; if he can go due to injury from last Friday) and Amari Gooding (freshman), averaging 191.3 pounds; to keep the bigger offensive line of Springfield off them in order to stop the running attack. Their offense is very dangerous, especially with their dual-threat quarterback. He has over 1,000 yards rushing and passing and he is so athletic, Carpenter said. He has great speed and is a true threat. That offensive line is very big and talented, though that is nothing we havent faced this year on a constant basis. Carpenter figures the game plan remains the same as it has been in the teams previous playoff tussles. Our defense is playing very well, especially against the run. We will have to continue that, the coach said. When you think about it, the defense will have to get some stops we may not be able to completely shut them down but at least have to slow them down while the offense

HGH tests, restraints on amateur bonuses for MLB

By RONALD BLUM The Associated Press NEW YORK Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig and union head Michael Weiner smiled and exchanged handshakes while others in the room dug into knishes and pigs in a blanket. Not exactly the kind of scene that played out in sports labor talks this year. Baseball ensured itself of 21 consecutive years of peace at a time the NBA season might be canceled because of a lockout and the NFL still is recovering from its CBA negotiations. Weve learned, Selig said Tuesday after players and owners signed an agreement for a five-year contract running until December 2016. Nobody back in the 70s, 80s and the early 90s, 1994, would ever believe that we would have 21 years of labor peace. The agreement makes MLB the first pro major league in North America to conduct blood tests for human growth hormone, allowing it during spring training and future offseasons but for now only studying whether it will be implemented during the regular season. MLB and the players union should be applauded for taking the strong step to implement the HGH test at the major league level to protect clean athletes, said Travis Tygart, chief executive officer of the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency. This is great progress in MLBs effort to protect the integrity of baseball at every level. The deal, which must be ratified by both sides and drafted into a formal contract, expands the playoffs from eight to 10 teams by 2013, lessens draft-pick compensation for free agents, expands salary arbitration by a few players and for the first time allows teams to trade some draft selections. It also adds unprecedented restraints on signing bonuses for amateur players coming to the major leagues from high school, college and overseas, perhaps hurting MLB as it competes with the NFL and NBA for multisport talent. If Ive got a great athlete, why am I going to go to baseball? Im going to focus on the other sports, said agent Scott Boras, who has negotiated baseballs highest signing bonuses. Following eight work stoppages from 1972-95, baseball reached its third consecutive agreement without an interruption of play. The agreement was signed three weeks before the current deal was to expire Dec. 11, the second straight time the sides reached a deal early. Baseball seems to have learned the lessons of the 1994-95 strike, which wiped out the World Series for the first time in nine decades. I think our history is more important than whats happening in other sports, said Michael Weiner, who took over from Donald Fehr as union head last year. It took a while for the owners to appreciate that the union is not only here to stay, but that the union and its members can contribute positively to a discussion about the game about its economics, about the nature of the competition, about how its marketed in every way. Owners hope the changes will lessen the difference in spending by high- and lowrevenue teams, much as the payroll luxury tax that began after the 2002 season. We feel that competitive

Jack and Jackie Harbaugh proud of coaching sons

By JANIE McCAULEY The Associated Press SANTA CLARA, Calif. Jack Harbaugh has watched his sons go at it for nearly five decades. From pounding football games on their bedroom floor to timed races up the stairs from the basement and many, many bumps and bruises in between. Thats why he sees no need to be there in person for Thursdays matchup an NFL first between brothers John and Jim Harbaugh when the coaches face off from opposite sidelines with their division-leading teams. Jack and Jackie Harbaugh plan to swing by the stadium for a quick visit and photo with their sons, then go to Johns house to watch the game on TV in private. All they want to do is allow the stage to be John and Jims, Jack said. The love of competition was bred into the brothers. CANTON (AP) Former coach Bill Parcells, running backs Jerome Bettis and Curtis Martin and NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue are among 26 modern-era semifinalists for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The list was announced Tuesday by the Hall of Fame following a vote by its selection committee, which chose the group from a list of 105 preliminary nominees. Kansas City Chiefs guard Will Shields is the only firstyear eligible player to make the list. Parcells also is considered a first-year candidate under new requirements that were put in place in 2008, after he had been a nominee in 2001, 2002 and 2003. The new rule makes it manSons of a football coach, living room couches were rearranged so they could dive over the coffee table and use cushions for tackling practice. Coat hangers were bent to become basketball hoops and yarn transformed into homemade nets. There were hand-written scorecards and scoreboards. The brothers devised their own games and, creatively, became announcers to introduce each other before they started. Starting at forward for Michigan, standing 4-feet5, wearing No. 23, Jim Harbaugh! Jack said, recalling one of those announcements. Come Thursday night at sold-out M&T Bank Stadium, theres no make believe about it. Jims resurgent 49ers are 9-1 and could clinch the NFC West with a win coupled with a loss for the Seahawks. Johns Ravens are 7-3 and leading the AFC North. We know its going to be emotional, were just not sure what emotions were going to experience, Jack said. Its such uncharted waters. Weve experienced it in this business being married for 50 years and coaching 43 years myself. And football and basketball and all the other things weve had in our family. This is such uncharted waters to see two in our family competing at this level on this stage. Weve just never experienced anything like it. Its not one of those things you go into and you have anything that you can possibly measure it with or against. This week, Jacks longtime catch phrase of Whos got it better than us? Nobody! seems as fitting as ever for this family. The slogan has been a huge hit out West, where 49ers players have made their own T-shirts featuring those words. Im sorry that he got to it first, said the 49-year-old John Harbaugh. I should have thought of that before him. We should have made some T-shirts, too. I think its really cool. game. Martin ranks fourth with 14,101 yards with the Patriots and Jets from 1995-2005. In addition to Parcells, the other semifinalist coach is Don Coryell, who led the St. Louis Cardinals and San Diego Chargers. Defensive semifinalists include DBs Steve Atwater, Donnie Shell and Aeneas Williams, DEs/LBs Chris Doleman, Kevin Greene and Charles Haley, LBs Clay Matthews and Karl Mecklenburg and DT Cortez Kennedy. The others are running backs Roger Craig and Terrell Davis, center Dermontti Dawson, tackle Willie Roaf, special teams/WR Steve Tasker and contributor George Young,

Parcells, Bettis among 26 Hall of Fame semifinalists

datory for coaches, like players, to be retired for five consecutive seasons. Before that, coaches were eligible immediately upon retirement. Parcells won two Super Bowls with the New York Giants in 1987 and 1991, then coached the Patriots and Jets before retiring in 1999. He returned to coach the Cowboys in 2003. Among other semifinalists for the Class of 2012 are wide receivers Tim Brown, Cris Carter and Andre Reed, also former San Francisco 49ers owner Edward DeBartolo Jr. Bettis ranks fifth on the NFL rushing list with 13,662 yards in 13 seasons, three for the Rams and a decade with the Steelers, with whom he won the 2006 Super Bowl in his final

COLLEGE ROUNDUP

---Jackets hold off Ohio Northern for dramatic win DEFIANCE Defiance College saw the visiting Polar Bears of Ohio Northern scramble back from a 42-33 halftime deficit to claim a late lead but the Jackets got a go-ahead layup from Logan Wolfrum and a game-saving block from Anthony Barnum in the closing moments to secure a thrilling 83-80 win on Tuesday. The victory was DCs fourth straight triumph in a home opener and moved the Jackets to 2-2 on the season against a grueling opening four opponents who boast a collective win-loss record of 6-2 against teams other than Defiance this season. The Jackets took control early on the strength of an extended 30-12 surge midway through the opening half of play. The run gave DC a 13-point spread with just under five minutes to go but Ohio Northern survived the run and cut the gap to nine at 42-33 heading to the break. ONU carried the rally over into the second session, opening the final 20 minutes on a 21-10 rally of its own to grab a 54-52 lead with 12:40 showing on the clock. Anthony Brown stopped that run with a 3-point play before Drew Frizell put the Jackets up by a 69-62 margin with a triple at the 7:59 marker. The Polar Bears would not go quietly however, using one last run to tie the game at 78-78 and going up by an 80-79 count on a Scott Schnelle deuce with 1:29 left in the contest. Wolfrum would answer by burying a contested layup to put Defiance back in front by a single point but a miss on a front end of a 1-and-1 gave the ball back to ONU for one last chance with 17 seconds remaining. The Bears went back inside to Schnelle for the potential game-winner but the Jackets were ready and Barnum rejected the turnaround jumper into the corner, where it was corralled by Mason Roth with three ticks to go. Roth would sink both free throws for the 83-80 lead and Kyle Tietje batted away Northerns desperation heave at the horn to seal the thrilling victory for the Yellow Jackets. DC won on the strength of its talented bench, outscoring ONU by a 43-25 margin off the pine. Brown fueled that count with 25 points on nineof-11 shooting in his 22 minutes of work off the bench. Roth also reached double figures for the fourth time in as many games to start his career with 15 and two steals, while Wolfrum netted all 13 of his tallies in the final 20 minutes. Tietje turned in another allaround effort with six points, four boards and five steals. Defiance (2-2) will take time off for the Thanksgiving Holiday before returning to the Karl H. Weaner Community Center to host Anderson (2-2) on Nov. 30. The contest will be the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference opener for both squads.

V A N WERT Van Wert head football coach Bob Priest announced on Tuesday morning he Priest has resigned his position with the football team. When the season was over, as Ive done every year, I do a reflection on what we need to improve on and where do we need to go, Priest told The Times Bulletin. As part of that, Ive always evaluated myself and our staff. This year when I looked at it, I had to take a serious look and say, Is the program working? I just didnt think there were enough people who believed in what we were trying to

do. As a result, I thought the best direction was for me to resign my position. Priest is a 1987 Van Wert graduate who came back to head the football program in 2007. Although he said things did not work out the way he had hoped, he loved his five years as coach and will remain a loyal Cougar supporter. I still care about this program and I want it to be successful, he said. So I thought what better way than to give an incoming coach 19 returning starters and get them started on the right foot. Hopefully the kids will respond and they will be very successful. After going 5-5 overall in both 2009 and 2010, a very youthful Cougar team slipped to 0-10 in 2011. Priest had a record of 16-34 overall and 15-30 in the Western Buckeye League.

(Continued from Page 8) Joani Crean married to Indiana basketball coach Tom Crean will cheer them both from afar, thrilled that each earned a much-deserved path to the NFL on his own despite being the son of a successful coach. There are so many eyes watching this game, its going to be nice just to get it over with, too. Move forward, said Crean, who planned to attend but is sorry she wont be able to make it because of multiple family commitments at home in Bloomington, Ind. This is one of those moments when, whether theyre a Ravens fan or a 49ers fan or a John or a Jim Harbaugh fan, they will watch this game just for the

pure joy of the moment that it will be. Creans 12-year-old son, Riley a middle child with a sister on each side admires both of his uncles. Riley just thinks both of his uncles and his grandfather and his father hung the moon, all four of them, Crean said. He absolutely is into what his uncles are doing, and you never hear a negative story. Thats a testimony to both of them. Jackie Harbaugh taught her children to be themselves and take accountability for their successes and failures, to go after what they wanted. She also let them experience things on their own. Her mantra: Dont do for your kids what they can do for themselves. We are excited for both of them to be at this point in their careers, Jackie Harbaugh said. I think theyre both very excited and appreciative of where they are at this point in their life. I think when it is all said and done that day, its going to come down to the teams on the field, and thats what were both hoping for. For me, once the practices are done and the preparations are done by both coaching staffs,

it will come down to the players on the field. Besides that, which is apropos for us, its Thanksgiving. John and Jim, Joani, Jack and I, we all have a lot to be thankful for in our lives. ... And the fact that were going to celebrate our 50th anniversary the next day. The parents and Joani, too are proud that both men reached this point on their own, without relying on a recommendation or push from Dad. If anything, John campaigned for Jim. Knocking down hurdles, as Jim, 47, puts it. No question about that, Jack said. Jackie and I were just talking today and we were trying to recollect back and I cant recall at any time that I called anyone and suggested that in the case of them being athletes that they recruit John, Jim or Joani. I never can recall calling anyone on the phone and saying you need to hire John or Jim as a football coach. We never participated in that process. Everything theyve achieved, its been on their merit. And once they got those particular jobs they were judged on their merits and strictly ran on their effort. Jim is quick to point out that he doesnt much care if he has any friends in the league

aside from those he works with every day, and his brother. His quick handshake and backslap with Jim Schwartz enraged the Lions coach after San Franciscos win at previously unbeaten Detroit last month. No big deal to Harbaugh, who did acknowledge he would work to improve his postgame etiquette. They are who they are. They express themselves in a way that reflects that, Jack Harbaugh said. And Im proud of that. I think you find so many different people that try to emulate others they try to walk or talk or express themselves in ways they think they should be perceived. The thing Im most proud of of our kids is that when they express themselves its sincere, genuine and its them. As the game nears, Crean has a hard time envisioning how meaningful the day will be for her family. I cant. It is kind of hard as you do get a little closer to it: Gosh, my goodness, all this stuff kind of came together, why? Isnt that coincidence? she said. I just think everything coinciding together is kind of a sign that were all doing what were supposed to be doing. This is whats meant to be.

Stocks fall on mixed news in US, China

The Associated Press U.S. stock indexes opened sharply lower Wednesday on worries about global economic growth. A batch of mixed economic reports from the U.S. government dampened traders hopes before the market opened. The Labor Department said initial claims for unemployment benefits rose to 393,000 last week, slightly more than economists expected. Thats a sign that layoffs are continuing. Consumer spending increased 0.1 percent last month, below analysts expectations and the weakest gain in four months. Incomes, however, rose 0.4 percent, slightly better than expected.

Orders for long-lasting manufactured products fell for a second straight month. The Commerce Department said durable goods orders fell 0.7 percent, led by a drop in spending for commercial aircraft. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 130 points, or 1.1 percent, to 11,364 at 10 a.m. Eastern time. The Standard & Poors 500 index fell 15, or 1.3 percent, to 1,173. The Nasdaq composite fell 30, or 1.2 percent, to 2,491. Earlier, stock markets in Asia fell after a survey showed manufacturing slowing in China, the worlds secondlargest economy. That came a day after the U.S. government lowered its estimate of thirdquarter economic growth.

Turkey for Thanksgiving

States originated with Lammas, a British celebration of an abundant wheat crop. On this day, farmers attended the Loaf Mass and brought loaves of bread as a token of thanks. Early explorers to the New World quickly acquired a taste for turkey and took birds back to Europe. By the 1500s, turkeys were being raised domestically in Italy, France and England. When the Pilgrims and other settlers arrived in America, they were already familiar with raising and eating turkey and naturally included it as part of their Thanksgiving feast. The first recorded observance of Thanksgiving in America was a religious occasion that did not include the feast now associated with the holiday. On Dec. 4, 1619, a small group of English settlers arrived at Berkeley Plantation on the James River in Virginia. In accordance with their charter, the group observed this day by giving thanks to God. Two years later, the residents of Plymouth rejoiced in an abundant crop and Governor William Bradford proclaimed a three day harvest festival. The colonists and about 90 Indians enjoyed an enormous feast which included ducks, geese, turkey, fish, corn bread and vegetables. It is this particular feast that is usually referred to as the First Thanksgiving. The traditional Thanksgiving dinner will cost 13 percent more this year, according to a survey conducted by the American Farm Bureau Federation. The average feast will cost $49.20 to feed a gathering of 10, which is $5.73 more than last year. The centerpiece of most Thanksgiving dinners is the turkey, which is responsible for much of this years price

Typically, approximately 46 million turkeys, one fifth of the annual total of 235 million consumed in the United States, are eaten at Thanksgiving. Turkey consumption nationally has doubled over the past 30 years. Minnesota, North Carolina and Arkansas are the top turkey producing states. Ohio ranks 11th national in turkey production with over 5 million produced annually. Putnam County has several turkey farms producing both eggs and finished birds. The modern Thanksgiving celebration in the United

Noonan to file for commissioner race

Allen County native Cory Noonan (R-Lima) will file his petitions and officially enter the race for Allen County commissioner today, pledging to bring a fresh, new perspective to creating jobs and protecting the hard-earned tax dollars of Allen County residents. Noonan, 34, was raised on a family farm near Delphos and worked at his familys construction business. An Ohio State graduate, he worked for current State Senator Keith Faber and the Ohio Department of Agriculture before returning home to run the Lima district office of Congressman Jim Jordan. I believe a commissioners main responsibility is to be a good steward of county funds, and I will focus every day on being a trusted watchdog, Noonan said. With my budget cutting experience and passion for the future of Allen County, I am ready to listen to peoples concerns, then roll up my sleeves and get to work. Noonan, a volunteer on the effort to repeal the recently proposed Allen County sales tax increase, said he learned fiscal responsibility through more than 14 years of budget cutting. Through smart planning and good old fashioned belttightening, weve been able to operate our congressional office with the fourth-lowest budget of any Congressman in America. I believe we can find savings to help tighten Allen Countys belt the same way, while still protecting important county services, Noonan said. Noonan said that keeping a lid on government spending is one of the keys to encourage expansion and new opportunities for businesses in Allen County. We must set our economic development sights both on helping current businesses maintain or expand local jobs, as well as attracting new businesses to the

area, Noonan said. The fight for more jobs begins with a thoughtful plan, and

The Associated Press The Navys Blue Angels have been thrilling audiences for more than six decades with their acrobatic flying in fighter planes, but a new era of federal budget worries and proposed deficit cutting has some inside and outside the military raising questions about the millions it costs to produce their shows. Some want the popular shows grounded and some readers of the Air Force Times newspaper most of them active or retired service members recently listed eliminating the Blue Angels and similar programs as one way to cut defense spending. The Pentagon spends $37 million for the Blue Angels, whose mission is to enhance recruiting for the Navy and Marines and to be their public goodwill ambassador. Thats a fraction of the Pentagons $926 billion annual budget, but thats not the point, critics say. They argue that lots of smaller programs will have to be eliminated to meet required spending reductions.

Tomorrows Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 2011 Because youll likely be inspired to work harder in order to take care of those you love, the year ahead could turn out to be a far more prosperous one than usual. In attempting to provide well for your kin, youll do so for yourself. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- A strange set of circumstances could lead to you hearing from certain people whom you havent talked to for some time. It may be good news that has them calling. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- From sunup to sundown, be alert for great opportunities to better your life. Certain good things that happen to you may occur just because youre in the right spot at the right time. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- If you approach the objectives youre seeking in a practical, realistic manner, your hopes and expectations will have better-than-normal chances of being fulfilled. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- This is likely to be a day of many substantial achievements. Even if your success appears to others to be rather easy in the making, youll know differently. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- One of the things you can do well is deal with groups -- and the larger the better. Youre especially well equipped to handle bigwigs who could be in attendance. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Unfortunately, you might have to deal with two individuals whom the world has treated badly. However, if you follow your compassionate instincts, youll say all the right things to put them at ease. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- It wont be from textbooks that youll learn some of the greatest lessons of your life. A big one may come from a personal experience thatll prove to be invaluable. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Youre presently in a cycle where some kind of service or expertise youve acquired will be responsible for generating far more returns than you ever garnered previously. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- If you want to earn a good guy/gal title, make an effort to treat others the way you would like to be treated. The golden rule is still one of the best edicts you can put into practice. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Just when youre not looking for it, a solution to a problem nobody has been able to resolve may be found. Itll be something that affects everybody, not just you. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Even if you feel a great need to be around people, youll still be extremely selective in choosing with whom you want to spend your time. Quality will take precedence. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -Although youre likely to be luckier than usual in situations pertaining to your earnings, youll still need to be selective regarding what you get yourself involved in. Keep a cool noggin. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 2011 If you should find that time is finally granting you a more secure and independent self, the year ahead will likely be a very impressive one. You could ably tackle endeavors that previously would have been overwhelming. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Youll not receive any standing ovations by using intimidating tactics on friends and/or associates to get your way, even if you do accomplish your purpose. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Imposing your views and opinions on friends will be futile. They might agree with you when in your presence, but they will then march to a totally different drummer. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -Dont take a request for your advice as an invitation to be too candid. Chances are the person asking will be looking for an endorsement, not criticism. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -If you find that you and your special someone are operating on different wavelengths, it would be smart to avoid any discussions about each others faults. Nip such palavers immediately! ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Just because you know a little something about the issue at hand, its no reason to volunteer to handle an issue for another person. Leave that up to the experts. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -Its essential to remain patient when involved in some kind of complex commercial dealings. Hasty or impulsive actions could get you in way over your pay grade. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -Someone who wasnt given the right to do so could make an important decision for you that wont be in your best interests. Be on your toes, so you can take action and stop disaster before it starts. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- If anything expensive or delicate needs some mending, chances are it would be cheaper to let an expert handle the job rather than attempting to make repairs on your own steam. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Whether youre operating on an expense account or a household budget, be prepared to justify all the expenditures you make. Needless spending could hurt others. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -People youre with are likely to sense that something is annoying you, and they might think theyre the source. Having a churlish attitude wont resolve your problem, but it could cause a needless blowup. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- If you insist on focusing on peoples shortcomings, youre more than likely to cause complications where none need exist. Instead, try to see the good in others. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -All the good you did by doing a friend a favor will be for naught if you keep bugging him or her about the need to repay it. Both your pal and onlookers could find your demands totally out of place.

Todays words: Aphelion: the point furthest from the sun on a planets orbit Proditorious: traitorous Todays joke: For a couple years Ive been blaming it on lack of sleep and too much pressure from my job but now I found out the real reason: Im tired because Im overworked. The population of this country is 237 million. 104 million are retired. That leaves 133 million to do the work. There are 85 million in school, which leaves 48 million to do the work. Of this there are 29 million employed by the federal government, leaving 19 million to do the work. 2.8 million are in the Armed Forces, which leaves 16.2 million to do the work. Take from the total the 14,800,000 people who work for State and City Governments and that leaves 1.4 million to do the work. At any given time there are 188,000 people in hospitals, leaving 1,212,000 to do the work. Now, there are 1,211,998 people in prisons. That leaves just two people to do the work. You and me. And youre sitting there reading jokes.

CAIRO (AP) International criticism of Egypts military rulers mounted today as police clashed for a fifth day with protesters demanding the generals relinquish power immediately. A rights group raised the death toll for the wave of violence to at least 38. The United Nations strongly condemned authorities for what it deemed an excessive use of force. Germany, one of Egypts top trading partners, called for a quick transfer of power to a civilian government. The United States and the U.N. secretary general have already expressed their concern over the use of violence against mostly peaceful protesters. Navi Pillay, the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights, deplored the role of Egypts security forces in attempting to suppress protesters. She said the actions of the military and police are enflaming the situation, prompting more people to join the protests.
