DELPHOS While
the national political scene
remains aflame with a
clash between womens
contraception and reli-
gion, Congressman Bob
Latta (R-Bowling Green)
visited Delphos Friday.
Approximately 30 business
leaders attended a luncheon
at Topp Chalet Restaurant
sponsored by Time-Warner
Cable and organized by the
Delphos Area Chamber of
Commerce.
Latta spoke with The
Delphos Herald, saying
the Patient Protection and
Affordable Care Act was
rammed through Congress so
quickly, there was bound to
be trouble.
Thanks to President
Barack Obamas health care
insurance reform, Catholic
hospitals that pay for employ-
ees health care insurance are
required to include contracep-
tion, something the churchs
teaching forbids. The reli-
gious exemption clause in
the bill was written too nar-
rowly and doesnt include
religious organizations that
arent classified as a parish.
However, Friday afternoon,
the president announced an
accommodation requiring
the respective insurance pro-
viders, not the employers, to
provide contraception free of
charge. Latta issued a sta-
teent late Friday condemning
it, much as he had earlier in
the day.
This thing went through
so fast; it was pushed through
so quickly that people didnt
have a chance to review
it. It wasnt properly vet-
ted in committee to know
what it would do and what it
wouldnt do but I think there
were some people out there
who did know when it was
being written, he said.
People looked at differ-
ent provisions and said well,
I think were okay. We
(Republicans) kept empha-
sizing the fact that there are
to omany shalls in this
you shall do this or that. It
also gives the secretary of
health and human services
the ability to interpret things.
So, there are too many man-
dates; then, anything in the
grey area will be decided by
the secretary. When you put
these things together, you
end up with them not expand-
ing the exemption.
While those on the social
and political Left may say
womens health is the most
important piece of this issue,
Latta says it boils down to the
First Amendments provision
of freedom of religion.
Was this well-calcu-
lated and they knew what
they were doing when this
legislation was being writ-
ten? Well, when you give
the secretary so much author-
ity and you have all these
mandates Im not sure.
It may have simply fallen
through the cracks but even
some liberal Democrats have
said the president is abso-
lutely wrong on this. Theyve
got to back off of this thing,
he said. This comes down to
the First Amendment. When
you back off of everything
that has happened, it clearly
comes down to freedom of
religion.
During his talk, Latta also
commented on the Keystone
XL pipeline proposal that
would run through portions of
the United States between the
Gulf Coast and Canada. Latta
thinks we should go ahead
with the project because it
would provide 120,000 jobs
just to build it. He said for
every dollar the U.S. sends to
Canada for oil, we get cents
back.
We send money to a lot
of countries and dont get
anything back, he said.
Latta told The Herald he
expected Obama to come
down on the side of the
environment. He said many
thought the president would
take the side of labor but Latta
forecasted Obamas position
to be formed by political con-
cerns of environmentalists
turning against him as he pre-
pares to run for re-election.
Also concerning energy,
Latta said the country needs to
focus on natural gas because
there is so much of it in the
U.S. that we could be the
Saudi Arabia of natural gas.
Latta also touched on gov-
ernment regulations impact-
ing businesses, told stories,
touched on banking and cyber
security. He also railed against
bureaucracy, saying politi-
cians devise regulations just
to justify their existence.

Tumbling instructor Tess Rieger assists beginner
Georgia Schnipke in a back bend.
Rieger goes to the mat for students
BY STACY TAFF
staff@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS If one has
ever watched a cheer competi-
tion or floor tumbling in gymnas-
tics, youve witnessed numerous
spectacular and dangerous moves
like flips, tucks and layouts. Tess
Rieger of Ottoville is one of the
people who teaches these moves.
In the 15 years shes spent as
the tumbling instructor at Dancer
By Gina, Rieger has taught girls
and boys of all ages everything
from cartwheels to back hand-
springs.
I started out as an assis-
tant when I was 17 at Delphos
Gymnastics, she said.
Eventually, I got a call from
Gina up at Dancer By Gina after
shed been open for probably two
years and she said they needed
a tumbling instructor and I said
yes. I also did the competition
squad with Gina for a few years
and I was a junior high cheer
coach at Ottoville for four years.
I love that age; you can really
mold them.
Rieger has training in lev-
els 1 through 4 and is able to
instruct the absolute beginner, the
advanced student and everyone
in between.
I teach classes for early
beginner, beginner, dance begin-
ner, intermediate and advanced,
she said. So, technically, there
are five levels. I also did two
years of judging and technique
is very important. You have to
know how to start a move in
position and end in position. We
do a lot of technique here, it falls
into everything we learn. To learn
the basics is the core of being a
good gymnast. If youre sloppy,
you wont acquire the skills you
need.
During a typical practice,
Rieger says her students work
extra-hard to get stronger and
prevent injury.
We start with a 10-minute
stretch and I really get on them
about that. Stretching is neces-
sary. Im very big on prevent-
ing injury, she said. Then, we
start with the basics and set-up
mats for stations. Theres a jump
station and a hand stand station
where they do three push-ups in
hand-stand position. Arm strength
is very important. There are two
stations for conditioning. Were
doing conditioning throughout;
we dont save it for the end.
When your work consists of
helping people flip upside down
and twist in midair, there are
occasional injuries. Rieger says
she has nursed a few of her own.
Ive had injuries. Im there
to catch them in case they land
wrong and sometimes people
land on me. It happens because
no matter what, youre going to
catch them, she said. I definitely
get nervous at times if someones
doing something incorrectly.
Theyre coming right at me.
Rieger loves dance and gym-
nastics but the part of her job she
loves the most is when her stu-
dents learn something new.
I love it when a student gets
a new skill, she said. That has
to be my favorite part the
progression of a student. Whether
its learning that forward roll or
a round-off or back handspring,
I love seeing it. It gives them a
sense of satisfaction and confi-
dence.
Its rewarding when a parent
comes up and says thank-you.
When students go on to compete
elsewhere and do well, parents
tell me judges are always sur-
prised that they had trained at
some little studio in Delphos,
she continued. A lot of gymnasts
come back and visit and they
realize how much they learned
here. When a student I havent
seen in a long time comes up to
me, it means so much. Many of
them have gone on to use the
skills theyve learned.
Rieger also works as office
manager of the College of Applied
Technologies at the University of
Northwestern Ohio and she says
that while things have slowed
down a little for her over the
years at Dancer By Gina, she has
no plans of stopping.
I do it for the love of it and
for passing that love along, she
said. This isnt a job to me. Its
something I feel Ive been put
on the earth to do. I think Im
going to do this until I cant do it
anymore.
Rieger is originally from Elida
and lives in Ottoville with her
husband of 22 years, Tony. They
have two daughters, Emily and
Jamie.

AP White House
Correspondent
WASHINGTON Under
fierce election-year fire,
President Barack Obama on
Friday abruptly abandoned his
stand that religious organiza-
tions must pay for birth control
for workers, scrambling to end
a furor raging from the Catholic
Church to Congress to his re-
election foes. He demanded that
insurance companies step in to
provide the coverage instead.
Obamas compromise
means ultimately that women
would still get birth control
without having to pay for it, no
matter where they work. The
president insisted he had stuck
by that driving principle even
in switching his approach, and
the White House vehemently
rejected any characterization
that Obama had retreated under
pressure.
Yet there was no doubt that
Obama had found himself in an
untenable position. He need-
ed to walk back fast and find
another route to his goal.
The controversy over con-
traception and religious liberty
was overshadowing his agenda,
threatening to alienate key vot-
ers and giving ammunition to
the Republicans running for his
job. It was a mess that knocked
the White House off its mes-
sage and vision for a second
term.
Leaders from opposite sides
of the divisive debate said they
supported the outcome or at
least suggested they probably
could live with it. Cardinal-
designate Timothy Dolan of
New York, the head of the
nations Roman Catholic bish-
ops and a fierce critic of the
original rule covering hospitals
and other employers, said the
bishops were reserving judg-
ment but that Obamas move
was a good first step.
The bishops organization
later issued a far more skepti-
cal critique contending that the
new approach offered insuf-
ficient protections for religious
employers and calling that
unacceptable.
Republicans hoping to
oust Obama from the White
House were conceding noth-
ing. Though not mentioning
the birth control issue, Newt
Gingrich assailed the presi-
dents views of religious rights
and said I frankly dont care
what deal he tries to cut. ... If he
wins re-election, he will wage
war on the Catholic Church the
morning after hes re-elected.
Mitt Romney, the front-
runner in the campaign for the
GOP presidential nomination,
said the decision didnt change
anything.
Today he did the classic
Obama retreat, all right, and
what I mean by that is it wasnt a
retreat at all. Its another decep-
tion, Romney said while cam-
paigning in Portland, Maine.
Obama, acknowledging he
wanted a resolution to the con-
troversy, ordered advisers to
find a middle ground in days,
not within a year as had been
the plan before the uproar. He
said he spoke as a Christian
who cherishes religious free-
dom and as a president unwill-
ing to give up on free contra-
ceptive care.
Ive been confident from
the start that we could work out
a sensible approach here, just
as I promised, Obama said.
I understand some folks in
Washington may want to treat
this as another political wedge
issue, but it shouldnt be. I cer-
tainly never saw it that way.
Under the new plan, reli-
gious employers such as chari-
ties, universities and hospitals
will not have to offer contra-
ception and will not have to
refer their employees to places
that provide it. If an employer
opts out of the requirement,
its insurance company must
provide birth control for free
in a separate arrangement with
workers who want it.
Very pleased, was how
Sister Carol Keehan, presi-
dent of the Catholic Health
Association, reacted in a state-
ment distributed by the White
House. Her trade group repre-
sents Catholic hospitals that had
fought against the birth control
requirement, and Keehan said
the new arrangement addresses
the concerns it had.
Obama compromises on birth
control after religious frestorm

While catching some
fresh air Friday evening,
I could hear sirens some-
where in our fair city. I said
a little prayer that every-
thing would be OK.
My bestie once told me
she does that every time
she hears sirens and I just
thought it was a great idea.
It pretty much covers every-
thing.
Most sirens start with
a 911 call. Someone is in
trouble and needs help.
Im sure 98 percent of
emergency calls are very
straight forward and just
what they appear. Weve
all seen the crime dramas
where the 911 call told a
different story than the call-
er intended. Something is
said that garners a closer
look or a voice is heard
in background implicat-
ing whatever and then the
detectives follow up and
the bad guys are caught
and the show ends how we
feel it should; with closure.
All tied up in a neat little
package.
If only life could be that
tidy.
A recent tragedy gar-
nered international atten-
tion with the 911 call the
cent er pi ece.
Was it neces-
sary? No. Did
it do what the
media outlet
intended? Oh,
yeah. It was
sensational. It
went viral.
It al so
caused a lot
of heartache and needless
pain to a lot of people.
Most people were appalled.
I found it appalling, too.
Emergency calls are
public record. Im sure
some people get tired of
hearing that phrase. Some
things dont seem right.
They offend our sensibili-
ties. They make us shudder
and turn away. That doesnt
change what they are.
There were several media
requests for the recording
of that call.
Emergency calls are
public record for a reason.
For example: what if a call
was not what it seemed and
was being used to cover
up a crime? What if a call
wasnt handled right by the
dispatcher?
Both are reasons those
calls need to be heard. They
tell a story and sometimes
they bring justice. They
bring closure.
Both outweigh the ones
that are used for different,
less tasteful reasons.
So while it makes us
cringe, some things arent
always pretty and melt in
your mouth. Some things
grate on your nerves and
make you turn away.
You have to think what
the alternative would be. If
no one could listen to 911
calls, how would we know
they are being handled
correctly? How would we
know the people we depend
on to keep us safe are doing
their jobs?
Its like a check and
balance. Kind of tidy but
not the package youll see
under the tree at Macys.
Thats OK. You just tear
the wrapping off anyway
and it ends up in the gar-
bage - neat and tidy like.

A suburban Philadelphia
prosecutor said Friday she
suggested that the coroners

Cardinal Anthony
Bevilacqua died on Jan. 31 at

according to church officials.
Montgomery County

While catching some
fresh air Friday evening,
I could hear sirens some-
where in our fair city. I said
a little prayer that every-
thing would be OK.
My bestie once told me
she does that every time
she hears sirens and I just
thought it was a great idea.
It pretty much covers every-
thing.
Most sirens start with
a 911 call. Someone is in
trouble and needs help.
Im sure 98 percent of
emergency calls are very
straight forward and just
what they appear. Weve
all seen the crime dramas
where the 911 call told a
different story than the call-
er intended. Something is
said that garners a closer
look or a voice is heard
in background implicat-
ing whatever and then the
detectives follow up and
the bad guys are caught
and the show ends how we
feel it should; with closure.
All tied up in a neat little
package.
If only life could be that
tidy.
A recent tragedy gar-
nered international atten-
tion with the 911 call the
cent er pi ece.
Was it neces-
sary? No. Did
it do what the
media outlet
intended? Oh,
yeah. It was
sensational. It
went viral.
It al so
caused a lot
of heartache and needless
pain to a lot of people.
Most people were appalled.
I found it appalling, too.
Emergency calls are
public record. Im sure
some people get tired of
hearing that phrase. Some
things dont seem right.
They offend our sensibili-
ties. They make us shudder
and turn away. That doesnt
change what they are.
There were several media
requests for the recording
of that call.
Emergency calls are
public record for a reason.
For example: what if a call
was not what it seemed and
was being used to cover
up a crime? What if a call
wasnt handled right by the
dispatcher?
Both are reasons those
calls need to be heard. They
tell a story and sometimes
they bring justice. They
bring closure.
Both outweigh the ones
that are used for different,
less tasteful reasons.
So while it makes us
cringe, some things arent
always pretty and melt in
your mouth. Some things
grate on your nerves and
make you turn away.
You have to think what
the alternative would be. If
no one could listen to 911
calls, how would we know
they are being handled
correctly? How would we
know the people we depend
on to keep us safe are doing
their jobs?
Its like a check and
balance. Kind of tidy but
not the package youll see
under the tree at Macys.
Thats OK. You just tear
the wrapping off anyway
and it ends up in the gar-
bage - neat and tidy like.

STATE/LOCAL
At the time Delphos came
into existence, most families
didnt have money to spend on
store-bought clothing and lin-
ens but had to depend on their
own expertise with a needle
and some thread to make such
items for their households. It
was a very tedious and time-
consuming chore. But that all
changed with the invention of
the sewing machine by Elias
Howe in 1846. Right on his
heels was Isaac Singer, who
developed a sewing machine
for home use; but it was a
little-known third inventor,
Allen Wilson, who fine-tuned
it into the smooth-working
machine such as we know
today. Wilson was an inven-
tor but he was no business-
man, so he teamed up with
Nathaniel Wheeler and dur-
ing the 1850s and 1860s, The
Wheeler & Wilson Company
was the most successful sew-
ing machine producer in the
world. Theirs was the best
sewing machine money could
buy but their glory did not
last.
Although sewing-machine
prices dropped after the
Civil War, a machine was
still a sizeable investment.
Sometimes neighboring fam-
ilies pooled their money to
share a machine. To increase
the market, Singer began mak-
ing cheaper models and came
up with the hire-purchase
plan, which was the proto-
type for making installment
payments. With this plan, the
Singer sewing machine was
made available to just about
anyone even those with
very limited incomes. Also,
by the late 1870s, all the pat-
ents had been extended and
exhausted and Wheeler &
Wilson production fell dra-
matically as competition from
new manufacturers increased.
In 1904, they were bought out
by Singer.
The canal museum is very
fortunate to have one of the
first Wheeler & Wilson mod-
els made during that prosper-
ous time. It is very unusual
because the material feeds
from left to right rather than
front to back. The machine
pictured here was made around
1867 and donated by Arthur
and Gayle Ladd.
Locally, an 1899 Delphos
Herald had ads for sew-
ing machines at Muellers
Emporium on South Main
Street, just before the rail-
road tracks, and at H.B.
Schwartzengraber &
Company Hardware Store at
320 N. Main St. The 1931
City Directory lists sewing
machines at F.J. Mersmans,
529 N. Main St. and in 1957
John Wilson carried Necchi-
Elna sewing machines at 318
N. Main St. It is not known if
Wheeler & Wilson machines
were ever sold in Delphos.
The museum has a very
good sampling of different
brands of sewing machines.
We are open from 1-3 p.m.
every Saturday and Sunday
and from 9 a.m. to noon every
Thursday.
WASHINGTON, D.C.
With 83 communities strug-
gling to afford costly but nec-
essary renovations to sewer
systems, U.S. Sen. Sherrod
Brown (D-OH) today discussed
legislation that would provide
relief from high water rates
to Ohio communities. Brown
introduced the Clean Water
Affordability Act and outlined
how it would help communities
make renovations to outdated
sewer systems, while improv-
ing water quality and keeping
rates affordable for residents
and small business.
Water and sewer infra-
structure is critical to economic
competiveness, Brown said.
While all Ohioans deserve
access to clean water, too many
communities are struggling to
afford costly, but necessary,
upgrades to sewer systems.
This bill is about helping local
governments make these reno-
vations and investing in Ohios
long-term economic develop-
ment.
Tony Parrott, executive
director of the Metropolitan
Sewer District of Greater
Cincinnati, discussed how
Browns legislation will help
Cincinnati lower water and
sewer rates to attract new busi-
nesses and create jobs.
This bill has elements that
will bring relief to residents
and businesses via the pro-
posed Federal CSO grants,
longer repayment schedules
for SRF loans and extended
compliance schedules for regu-
latory mandates, Parrott said.
Further, it also sets in place
a mandated process for EPA
to implement and allow com-
munities the flexibility to re-
open existing Consent Decrees
based on the communities
current economic condition
and the local communities
desire to use more innovative
and sustainable solutions to
address CSO and SSO which
in turn can bring value, com-
munity revitalization and job
creation to urban communities.
It is imperative that EPA shift
the paradigm to become part-
ners with local communities to
facilitate the outcomes that are
based on local priorities/needs
and support solutions that will
limit future liabilities on the
overall environment and future
generations.
Brown also released a
county-by-county map of
Ohio communities with com-
bined sewage overflow sys-
tems outdated sewer sys-
tems that collect sewage and
storm water, leading to over-
flows that can pollute drinking
water. In the event of a storm
or excessive rain,
CSOs cannot handle
both human waste-
water and storm run-
off at the same time.
The Environmental
Protection Agency
(EPA) estimates that
about 850 billion
gallons of untreated
wastewater and storm
water are released
through CSOs each
year in the United States.
In Allen County, they
include Delphos, Lima and
Bluffton. Putnam communi-
ties with combined sewers are
Columbus Grove, Leipsic and
Pandora. Van Wert includes
Ohio City and Van Wert.
Federal guidelines require
municipalities to renovate these
outdated systems to protect
human health and the environ-
ment, but upgrades often prove
too costly for many small com-
munities. According to EPA,
communities across the nation
face an estimated $63 billion
in need for CSO renovations.
These projects represent more
than 25 percent of all wastewa-
ter needs reported in the most
recent EPA needs survey.
A 2008 EPA survey show-
ing 83 Ohio communities
with serious sewage overflow
problems amounts to a need-
ed investment of $7.5 billion
over the next twenty years.
The report calculated there is
an immediate need of more
than $10 billion in Ohio for
improvements in publicly-
owned wastewater treatment
facilities.
The Clean Water
Affordability Act is
aimed at updating
the Environmental
Protection Agencys
(EPA) clean water
affordability policy,
which can put undue
strain on the budgets
of local communi-
ties. The current EPA
affordability policy
does not provide for a full
and accurate representation of
the financial impacts of clean
water investment programs
on communities struggling to
meet federal regulations for
improving their water infra-
structure.
The Clean Water
Affordability Act authorizes
$1.8 billion over five years
for a grant program to help
financially distressed com-
munities update their aging
infrastructure. The program
would provide a 75-25 cost
share for municipalities to use
for planning, design, and con-
struction of treatment works to
control combined and sanitary
sewer overflows. The National
Association of Clean Water
Agencies (NACWA), which
represents the sewer districts,
has endorsed the legislation.
The legislation would also
establish that:
The implementation
schedule for water quality
related improvements must be
tailored to the affected com-
munitys unique financial con-
dition.
A financial capabil-
ity assessment should consider
more broadly each commu-
nitys economic situation.
Environmental improve-
ments should be structured to
mitigate the potential adverse
impact of their cost on dis-
tressed populations.
Allows for reopening of
approved Long Term Control
Plans for green infrastructure
projects.
Payback of State Revolving
Fund loans are extended from
20 to 30 years
Establishes integrated per-
mitting that requires EPA to
prioritize the funding of most
cost-effective and most impor-
tant water quality projects.

We had better live as we think, otherwise we shall end up by thinking as
we have lived.
Paul Bourget, French author (1852-1935).
IT WAS NEWS THEN

Moderately confused
Scrapbooks can be trea-
sures to those who come after
us. Many individuals have
used and enjoyed the scrap-
books kept by Mary Lou
Wittlers mother, Martha
(Utrup) Recker in the 30s and
40s. Mary Lou remembers
helping her mother paste clip-
pings in old wallpaper books.
They made ideal scrapbooks.
She made these scrap-
books back in the day, when
Sunday was a real day of
rest; a day to read the fun-
nies in the newspapers, take
a nap or visit your rela-
tives and friends. The Ten
Commandments instructed
us to Keep Holy the Lords
Day, so we did. There was
no servile work to be done on
Sunday. Women could cook
that wonderful chicken din-
ner and do the dishes but not
the laundry or running the
sweeper. If a farmer thought
he had to make hay on Sunday
because it was going to rain
on Monday he had to call
the parish priest and ask for
permission. Most stores were
closed on Sunday. There were
three drugstores in Delphos;
Stallkamps, Remlingers
and The Pioneer. These three
establishments rotated being
open on Sunday so people
could get the necessities in
an emergency. I remember
working at Stallkamps on
Christmas because it was
our turn. I made 50 cents
per hour. Sunday was also a
good time to go to the movies
or go for a bike ride.
Mrs. Recker kept mostly
weddings, anniversaries and
obituaries in her scrapbooks.
While pasting them in she
would tell her children some-
thing about the people, the
subjects of this project. Some
clippings go back to 1927.
She also included many
happenings of that time.
The first wedding write-up
is that of Robert Fortener of
Delphos and Regina Schmitt
of Ottoville. Early obits are
those of Mrs. Albine E. Lause
(Clara) and Peter Schmitt.
Theres the story of the new
organ for St. Johns Catholic
Church. It had a network of
3,429 pipes and cost $8,000.
This is one of the few articles
which didnt give the date.
Her second book, which
was done in the 40s includ-
ed lists of those young
men, who were drafted in
1942. One clipping told of
the newly-paved section
of U. S. Route 30, west
of Delphos to beyond the
Middle Point Road. Another
story read A total of 2013
persons registered for Sugar
Books Tuesday in Delphos.
Registration was being held
at the Franklin School and
the Lincoln School. That was
the beginning of sugar ration-
ing during World War II.
Another 1942 clipping
read Tire Rationing Starts
Monday. Allen County was
allotted 362 tires and tubes
for January. The countys
passenger car quota which
included motorcycles and
light trucks had been set at
55 tires and 46 tubes. The
truck and bus tire quota was
142 and the tube quota was
119. Van Wert County quota
had been set at 20 tires and
17 tubes for passenger cars
and 40 tires and 33 tubes for
trucks and buses. Just how
the county allotment was to
be distributed in the various
districts was not yet known.
Buyers had to obtain a cer-
tificate of purchase from the
rationing committee.
Her scrapbooks are just
loaded with interesting
articles and many readers
discovered info about their
ancestors in the obits or wed-
ding announcements.
Does this grab your
interest yet? If so lets get
started with your scrap-
books. Remember: your
materials should be acid free.
Sometimes the term photo
safe was used. In the past,
many of us made the mistake
of using those easy mag-
netic photo albums, which
contained a lot of acid or lin-
ing that faded the pictures or
turned them yellow.
The first thing to do is
sort your pictures into cat-
egories or you can go all
in one chronologically. I
use categories such as fam-
ily, extended family, school,
sports, activities, travel and
vacations, nature, Christmas
and Easter. I include New
Years and Thanksgiving in
the Christmas album. Some
of my Christmas photos go
back to when I was a teen-
ager. Santa brought me a
Kodak box camera, when I
was in high school. There
was no flash so pictures had
to be taken outside in the
sunlight. When I worked at
the drugstore, I purchased a
Duo-flex, which had a good
flash attachment. I still have
both cameras, which took
620 film. Now readers might
ask Whats film? Digital
is the way to go. The space
program had a lot to do with
photography. I still marvel at
some of those photographs of
the moon or the Earth from
outer space.
Your next move is to
choose your scrapbook.
Many stores that sell craft
supplies, also sell scrapbooks
and all the tools to go with
it. Dont let that scare you;
you dont need everything.
Scrapbooks come in vari-
ous sizes. I prefer the 12 X
12 myself, you can get more
on a page. Other sizes are 8
1/2 x 11 or smaller. Its best
to choose an album that is
expandable. Some are three
ring binders with top loading
sheet protectors. The insert
pages are a good quality
paper, like card stock. Other
styles are post bound or the
strap style.
Some scrapbook consul-
tants have a home business,
where they have little scrap-
book stores in their base-
ments. These consultants
carry all kinds of supplies
and tools of the trade. They
also provide their customers
with helpful hints.
Some of the tools include
a good sharp scissors, a small
paper trimmer or cutter, adhe-
sives such as an acid free glue
stick or double sided tape,
dots or tabs. These are often
referred to as a tape runner or
photo splits. The little paper
trimmer is the best thing for
cropping pictures. I suggest
you practice cropping on
some old unwanted or scrap
photos. You can also pur-
chase a circle cutter of tem-
plates to add variety to your
pages. Make sure you get
acid free pens, which come
in all colors. Black is good to
start with. Scrapbook consul-
tants might suggest a corner
rounder as a helpful tool. It
softens the pictures.
Journaling is an essen-
tial part of scrapbooking.
Remember those old family
photographs without iden-
tification. Journaling will
be covered in March, when
we feature Martha Luckes
scrapbook collection.

HARROD The Jefferson
boys basketball team has had
difficulty scoring in the 2011-
12 season but has been fairly
successful stopping the other
teams offense.
That was not the
case Friday night at
The Corral of Allen
East High School.
The host
Mustangs took
advantage of their
size and depth
advantage to grab
a 70-56 Northwest
Conference hard-
wood victory over the
Wildcats.
We tried everything:
half-court and full-court man,
traps, zones, everything; we
couldnt stop them. They just
threw over the top with their
length, Jefferson coach Marc
Smith noted. Weve been
pretty consistent defensively
but not tonight. We have a
drill that we have to have
three straight defensive stops
when you do that, good
things happen but Im
not sure that ever
happened tonight.
They killed us on
the boards, espe-
cially offensively;
we might be in
position but they
just went over the
top.
The Mustangs
(5-12, 1-6 NWC)
used their quintet
of 6-4 players and
their 10-deep rotation to out-
board the smaller and thinner
Wildcats (1-15, 0-7 NWC)
35-22 (12-7 offensive) as
6-4 senior Clay Howard had
eight, 6-4 sophomore Logan
Rex six and 6-2 senior James
Richardson added five. He
also led the scoring with a
game-high 20 markers
4 treys) and chipped in 12
assists.
We usually have a
good outside/in combina-
tion with James and Tanner
(Richardson) but Jefferson
did a nice job sagging on
Tanner. Our other guys inside
helped a lot there; we used
our size to great advantage
tonight, especially on the
glass, Mustang coach Rick
Sherrick explained. The
good thing is that most of our
inside guys are young and
they will get nothing but bet-
ter. So will Delphos. (Ross)
Thompson and (Nick) Fitch
are really good, young play-
ers in there.
The Red and White stood
toe-to-toe with the taller
Mustangs in the first period,
with 6-0 senior Nick Dunlap
(16 counters - 4 bombs) drop-
ping in a pair of bombs and
the 6-1 freshman Fitch scor-
ing four markers, building a
15-9 edge on an 18-footer
jumper from the right wing by
sophomore Austin Jettinghoff
(9 points, 5 assists) at the
1:28 mark. However, James
Richardson had eight coun-
ters (2 treys), including a
3-ball from the right wing
with 37 ticks on the board,
for a 15-12 deficit at the end
of eight minutes.
The start of the second
period is when the Mustangs
started to take over the glass
and control the paint. Having
been outrebounded in the first
period 9-7, they made a con-
certed effort to get the ball
inside and mine the offensive
boards. Richardson again had
eight points but now, play-
ers like Rex (6 points in the
period) and 6-2 junior Clay
Plaugher (4) began to con-
tribute. The Wildcats couldnt
match that, despite Fitch add-
ing his other five
points. As well,
fouls began to have
an effect on the
visitors, with Fitch
and backup junior
Dakota Stroh pick-
ing up their second
fouls. Two singles
by Plaugher gave
Allen East
which took the
lead for good at
19-18 on a basket by Rex
at the 6-minute mark its
largest lead of the half at
35-26 with 1:32 showing but
a triple from the left wing by
Dunlap with 1 minute show-
ing accounted for a 35-29
halftime scoreboard.
The Wildcats werent
done, clawing within 40-37
on a 3-point play the old
way by sophomore Ross
Thompson (a double-double
of 17 markers and 10 caroms)
at 5:20. However, the
Mustangs re-assert-
ed control, this time
with 6-1 senior Dylan
Mulholland netting
five of his seven in
the period as the host
lead climbed back
to 49-39 on a drive
by Ross Stewart at
1:50. The guests had
a reply: back-to-back
trios from Thompson
(1:43) and Dunlap (1:20); to
get within 49-45.
Stroh had his fourth foul
and senior Shayn Klinger his
third in the period for the
Jeffcats, while Rex also bat-
tled foul woes.
Two Jettignhoff singles
just eight ticks into the fourth
brought Delphos within
49-47 but the Mustangs had
an answer: a 10-0 spurt, with
6-4 junior Tanner Richardson
netting four; that got them up
59-47 on a Rex banker from
the right elbow at 5:16. The
closest the Red and White
could get from then on was
61-52 at 3:53 on a putback
by Jettinghoff. The Mustangs
spread the floor and either
got layups or free throws, hit-
ting 5-of-6 down the stretch
(14-of-17 overall for 82.4%
versus 10-of-16 for the visi-
tors for 62.5%).
We had the first period
our way; we were up 15-9
and had missed a couple of
transition layups. Richardson
then hits a 3 and that gets
them going, Smith added.
We got it back to three in
the and two in the fourth
and then they got on a spurt
again. Nick (Dunlap) had his
3-ball stroke going. Ross and
Nick (Fitch) took the ball to
the hole. Austin showed more
improvement. We kept bat-
tling; it just wasnt enough.
Jefferson finished 20-of-
48 from the floor (6-of-16
downtown) for 41.7 percent.
They added 10 miscues and
19 fouls and hit the road
tonight to Fort Jennings.
Allen East canned 26-of-
53 fielders (4-of-10 triples)
for 49.1 percent. They ended
with a mere five errors and 13
fouls and visit Lima Central
Catholic Thursday.
We told the kids that
Mustangs use size, depth
to pull past Wildcats

DELPHOS The St. Johns
Blue Jays hosted the Parkway
Panthers Friday night in their
hopes of coming that much
closer to bringing a Midwest
Athletic Conference boys bas-
ketball championship back to
Delphos.
The Blue Jays shot 8-of-15
from long range in their 60-36
win, improving to 6-1 in the
MAC and 11-6 overall, while
the Panthers fell to 1-16 on the
season and 0-7 in the league.
St. Johns quickly took a 9-2
lead with senior Alex Clarks
3-pointer. A triple from senior
Ben Warnecke and a steal
and layup from junior Ryan
Buescher gave St. Johns a 17-6
lead halfway through the first
quarter and went on to take
a commanding 24-8 lead after
eight minutes of action.
The hosts continued their
excellent long-range shooting in
the second period with another
Clark 3-pointer. Parkway went
on a 8-2 run midway through
with a Derek Luth bucket and
two free throws from Austin
Dennison to bring the Panthers
within eleven, 34-23. St. Johns
then scored the last four points
of the half to take a 39-23 lead
at the break.
With a triple from Warnecke
and a steal and layup from junior
Curtis Geise, the Blue Jays took
a 53-32 margin going into the
fourth quarter.
St. Johns coasted in the
fourth period.
I think we are playing with
more confidence in what we are
doing offensively, St. Johns
coach Aaron Elwer said. We
have been working on our shot
all season and we are finally
starting to shoot with more con-
fidence.
They had three players in
double figures. Buescher with
15 points, Geise with 14 and
Clark 13.
They shot the ball extremely
well, even when we had our hand
up in their face, Parkway coach
Will Snyder said. Offensively,
we need to learn how to use our
offense and plays to get us better
shots and not just rely on Derek
to make all the plays.
Luth led all scorers with 19
points and eight rebounds for
Parkway.
St. Johns will visit Fort
Recovery, the team they are tied
with atop the MAC, next Friday
night.
The Jays (9-8) won the junior
varsity contest 58-26.

CONTINENTAL The
Ottoville Big Green traveled
to the home of the Continental
Pirates for their last road Putnam
County League boys basketball
contest of the year.
The Pirates came away with
a very low-scoring win over the
Big Green, 38-28.
The Pirates came into the
game with a considerable size
advantage over the Big Green
with two 6-5 players (Clay
Bracken and Chaz Slattman)
and two 6-3 players (Brandon
Burke and Bret Slattman) in
their starting lineup. The Big
Green, with only one player
taller than 6-2 in the lineup
(senior Kevin Schnipke at 6-6),
knew they were in for a battle
inside and on the boards.
To complicate matters for
the Green, two minutes into the
game, they lost Schnipke for
nearly the entire quarter as he
was forced to leave play with
a bloody nose. That opened
the door even wider for the
Pirates underneath and allowed
them to race out to a 10-4 lead
after one quarter. Schnipkes
replacement, 6-2 sophomore
Cory Honigford, did a nice job
coming in and scoring all of the
Big Greens four points for the
quarter.
The Big Green went on a
8-0 run to start the second quar-
ter and grabbed the lead from
the Pirates at 12-10 with 5:00 to
play in the quarter. The Pirates
struggled the entire quarter with
their shooting from the field but
were aided by the Big Green
also having their own problems
from the field. As both teams
headed to their locker rooms,
the score was tied 16-16.
Coach Todd Turnwald con-
tinued to see bright spots in
his Ottoville teams defensive
effort but the worries con-
tinued on the offensive end:
Defensively, were doing a lot
of good things. We just struggle
to score at times and for long
periods of play. There are things
we want to run but when we do,
we throw the ball out of bounds
or turn it over. We try and let
them play a little bit but that
seems to not be working either
right now. Its frustrating.
The stats told the story way
too easily to Coach Turnwald:
At halftime, they had 24
shot attempts, mainly in the
paint. They had 15 offensive
rebounds, compared to our two.
They were basically playing
volleyball against us.
The third quarter started
out very promising for the Big
Green with Schnipke scor-
ing two quick baskets to give
his team a 20-16 lead early.
Another basket by junior Ryan
Honigford extended the lead
to 22-16 at the 2:58 mark but
thats when 6-0 senior Spencer
Ordway of the Pirates decid-
ed to take the game into his
own hands. He scored the last
7 points of the quarter and
brought his team all the way
back to give them a 23-22 lead
after three.
Pirates head coach Mark
Wilson was quick to acknowl-
edge his seniors effort:
Spencer started for us at the
beginning of the year; however,
I was trying to get a spark off
the bench so I started having
him fill that role for us. Spencer
deserves to start but he gives
me more off the bench than
when he starts a game. I need
that spark when things go awry.
He took care of the ball and
made the foul shots I needed
him to make (4-of-4). He did an
awesome job for us tonight.
The fourth-quarter shoot-
ing woes continued for the Big
Green. Derek Schimmoeller
started the quarter driving the
lane, being fouled and complet-
ing the 3-point play to give the
Green the lead 25-23. However,
it would be the last time they
would be out front; not until
Bryan Hohlbeins 3-pointer at
the 1:23 mark was Ottoville
able to dent the scoreboard
again, closing the Pirates lead
to 31-28. The Big Green was
forced to foul the Pirates the
remainder of the contest and
was held scoreless, sending the
Pirates to their second PCL win
of the year.
For the Big Green (3-14, 0-6
PCL), they were led in scoring
by Schnipke with seven points.
The Big Green were 10-of-33
from the field (30%), 6-of-8
from the stripe (75%), hauled in
17 rebounds and committed 12
turnovers. The Big Green will
be on the road Tuesday night as
they travel to McComb.
For the victorious Pirates
(5-11, 2-3 PCL), they were led
by seniors Bret Slattman and
Ordway with 14 and 11 points,
respectively. From the field, the
Pirates shot 29 percent (14-48)
and 64 percent (9-14) from the
foul line. They hauled in 32
rebounds and committed only
eight turnovers. The Pirates will
entertain Stryker tonight.
The JV game was won by
the Pirates 38-37.

of officers is, from left, Dale Derrow, Mike Metzger, Jerry Suever, Brandon Suever,
Sherry Etzkorn, Dale Holdgreve, Larry Randy Gerdeman and President Stan
Wiechart. Absent is Kandi Kill. The final report given by Wiechart has the following:
the paid membership for 2011 is 118, down 18 from the previous year; $500 internal
scholarship awards were given to Chelsea Fisher and Daniel Bubp, bringing the total
to $7,700; the club didnt sponsor any high school football games on WDOH but did
include notices in The Rustic commercials, inviting members and prospective members
to games; instead of contributing to the Browns Foundation this year, the club upped
its donations to the Santa Visitation and the Community Christmas Project to $200
each; donated a total of $1,405, increasing the amount raised and paid out in charitable
causes since the charter year of 2003 to $16,682.79; despite not having a large
attendance at game days, the raffles did bring in $923, mostly in 50/50 drawings, with
Wiechart expressing thanks to Etzkorn for spearheading that effort; and the cost of
special gameday parties throughout the season, such as a tailgate for opening day, a
Christmas party and last years annual meeting with attendance down only cost
$260.50 to the club.

KABUL, Afghanistan
Besides going after a medal
in the boxing ring at the
London Olympics, Sadaf
Rahimi will be taking a few
punches in the fight for equal
rights for Afghan women.
There are female Afghan
success stories, yet most
women in Afghanistan
remain second-class citizens,
many cloaked from head-
to-toe in blue burqas, some
abused or hidden in their
homes.
Rahimi, a determined
17-year-old student, wants
to become the new face of
Afghan women, gaining
honor and dignity for herself
and other women in her war-
torn country and improving
their image worldwide.
She will get her chance
this summer in London,
where womens boxing
makes its Olympic debut.
When we participate in
the outside competitions,
there is pressure on us,
Rahimi said while train-
ing in a makeshift gym in
the Afghan capital. But
I will try to show that an
Afghan girl can enter the
ring and achieve a position
for Afghanistan.
In line with conserva-
tive norms for women in
Afghanistan, Rahimi is
expecting to wear black
tights under her boxing gear
at the Olympics to cover her
knees. She trains for hours
three days a week, punching
heavy bags and sparring with
her teammates and trainers.
They throw punches on
faded pink and green mats
covering a concrete floor of
a room in an Afghan sports
stadium where the hard-
line Taliban regime used
to stage public executions.
The female boxers still dont
have a real boxing ring to
hone their skills.
After the Taliban banned
women from participat-
ing in sporting events, the
International Olympic
Committee suspended
Afghanistan from the games.
Afghanistan missed the 2000
Olympics in Sydney as a
result. The Taliban were top-
pled in 2001 and the suspen-
sion was lifted the following
year. Afghanistan sent female
athletes for the first time
in its history to the 2004
Olympics in Athens.
Teenage girl from Afghanistan to box at Olympics
when we spread the floor
in the fourth, wed have to hit
free throws. We did all game
long, Sherrick added. We
took care of the basketball,
which was key for us. Those
are both encouraging signs
for us.
In junior varsity action,
Allen East overcame an 11-10
first-period hole to whip up a
56-35 victory.
Plaugher netted 14 for the
Mustangs and Casey Crow
10.
For the Wildcats (3-13,
0-7 NWC), sophomore Tyler
Mox dropped in 15.

Kalida (Continued from Page 6)
victory.
The home team tied the
game twice in the second
half and Brent Niese made
it 55-55 with just over
three minutes left as it
appeared the home-team
Wildcats would snatch
victory out of the jaws of
defeat.
However, Kalida tal-
lied the final six points of
the game as Paul Utendorf
and Kevan
Unverferth hit
key shots from
the foul line
down the stretch
to preserve the
victory.
Un v e r f e r t h
led all scorers
with 16 points.
Ben Schroeder
and Nathan Kortokrax
knocked down 12 each.
The hosts went up 2-0
on the first shot of the
game but never gained
the lead again. Unverferth
capped off the Kalida
spurt with a longer-than-
NBA 3-pointer, making it
a 15-6 score with 2:02 to
go in the first stanza.
Miller City began to
chip away at the deficit
late in the second quar-
ter; despite being down
by 10 at one point in the
quarter, the home team
got a boost off a 3-point
shot by Russell Niese with
just two ticks left on the
clock, sending the hosts
into the break down by
just a 34-26 count.
Brent Hermiller had a
team-high 15 points for
Miller City and went 4-for-
4 in the canto; along with
Ross Kauffmans 4-for-4
effort in the third eight
minutes, the latter bringing
the hosts to within three at
47-44.
A d a m
Niese (5
m a r k e r s )
brought the
Miller City
Cats to just
one down at
47-46 sec-
onds into
the final
canto. However, Austin
Horstman and Austin
Roebke hit back-to-back
shots for the guests, giv-
ing the Kalida Cats some
breathing room, but only
for a moment. Thats
when Hermiller took mat-
ters into his hands, hitting
a deuce and triple on con-
secutive trips down court,
tying the game up at 51-51
with still 5:33 left in the
game.
Nonetheless, Kalida
would not relinquish the
lead. Tyler Kortokrax
hit a jumper, giving the
guests the lead again, but
Brent Niese tied it up at
55-55 with a pair from the
line. But the guests rattled
off the next six points as
Utendorf and Unverferth
capped off the Kalida win
in combining to hit 3-of-4
from the line.
The win moves Kalida
to 11-5 overall and 4-2
in the PCL, while Miller
City falls to 11-7 overall
and 4-2 in league play.

8 The Herald www.delphosherald.com Saturday, February 11, 2012
For more than a decade, Pente-
costal Bishop T.D. Jakes has lived
in the shadow of a Time magazine
cover that asked, Is this man the
next Billy Graham?
That was a loaded question, be-
cause of tensions behind the scenes
between the multimedia Dallas
superstar and many mainstream
Christian leaders.
Now, this legendary preacher
-- often listed as one of Americas
most powerful evangelicals -- has
taken a big step toward convinc-
ing his critics that he is, in fact, an
evangelical. Jakes has, after years
of rumors about private assuranc-
es, publicly affrmed that he be-
lieves in the Christian doctrine of
the Trinity.
The Rev. Mark Driscoll of
Mars Hill Church in Seattle asked
the question directly, during an
interview at the recent Elephant
Room conference at the First Bap-
tist Church in Jacksonville, Fla.
This annual event brings together
Christian leaders from a variety of
backgrounds to discuss tough sub-
jects. The interview transcript has
been published by Baptist Press.
So you believe, said Driscoll,
that theres one God, three Persons
-- Father, Son and Holy Spirit? You
believe Jesus was fully God, fully
Man?
Jakes didnt finch: Absolute-
ly.
That one word represents a
signifcant change for Jakes, the
leader of The Potters House, a
30,000-member megachurch that
serves as the base for his thriv-
ing work in books, Gospel music,
social-justice causes and a host of
other ministries. While the church
is nondenominational, the preacher
has long been associated with an
unorthodox stream of faith known
as Oneness Pentecostalism.
The ancient doctrine of the Trin-
ity teaches that there is one God,
yet this God has been revealed
in history as three distinct per-
sons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
This is a core doctrine that unites
Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant
Christians worldwide -- including
most who embrace Pentecostal
and charismatic Christianity, the
worlds fastest growing Christian
movement.
The split between Trinitarian
and the Oneness Pentecostals
occurred in stages early in the 20th
century, soon after the Azusa Street
Revival in Los Angeles. That fa-
mous spiritual earthquake ignited
the interracial Pentecostal move-
ment, with its emphasis on spiri-
tual gifts such as prophecy, healing
and speaking in tongues.
Oneness leaders denied the
reality of the Trinity, saying there
is one God -- period. Thus, they
continue to baptize in the name of
Jesus, alone, rather than using ref-
erences to Father, Son and Holy
Spirit. Critics call this approach
modalism.
In the Elephant Room inter-
view, Jakes noted that his father
was Methodist and his mother was
Baptist. However, he stressed that
he made his own decision to be-
come a Christian in a Oneness
Pentecostal church. Thus, he said,
I ended up Metha-Bapti-Costal, in
a way.
Several scripture passages in-
fuenced his change of mind on
this issue, he said, especially the
account of the baptism of Jesus.
Jesus was baptized in the
Jordan River, for example, com-
ing up out of the water [and] the
Holy Spirit descends like a dove,
the Father speaks from heaven and
we see all three of them on one oc-
casion, said Jakes. This and other
references began to make me re-
think some of my ideas and some
of the things that I was taught.
I got kind of quiet about it for
a while. Because when you are a
leader and you are in a position of
authority, sometimes you have to
back up and ponder for a minute,
and really think things through.
Oneness churches represent a
relatively small piece of the global
Pentecostal movement -- about 5
percent of an estimated 640 mil-
lion believers. Nevertheless, Jakes
has clearly been trying to fnd a
way to keep expanding his work
into the evangelical, charismatic
mainstream without cutting his ties
to his past, said historian Vinson
Synan of Regent University, author
of numerous books on Pentecostal-
ism.
The reality is that he had to
address this issue sooner or later
because he has all kinds of follow-
ers, including lots of Trinitarians,
said Synan. This man sells mil-
lions of books, makes movies and
is an award-winning Gospel singer.
Hes a major force in Christian cul-
ture in this land. ...
Well, he might not be able to
keep doing all of that if millions of
evangelicals think he is some kind
of heretic. So he makes this one
statement and hes cleared with
most evangelicals and charismat-
ics, most of the time. Hes on his
way to being more acceptable to
just about everybody. Thats big, in
the post-denominational world in
which we live.

als do you keep in the back
of your mind each and every
second of the day? Morals and
values are important because
they shape our personalities
and attitudes. In order to get
through lifes struggles and
enjoy every day I have on this
Earth, I keep three laws in the
back of my mind at all times.
These laws that I hold very
dear to my heart are to live,
laugh, and love.
The first of my laws of life
is to live. I have always tried
my best to live my life to the
fullest and make sure I have
no regrets. When once-in-a-
lifetime opportunities come
around, I snatch them up and
use them well. I never want
to walk through life regretting
not doing something. I also try
to accomplish as many goals
as I can. I want to go far in
life and be all I can be, setting
goals helps me do that. Goals
help me strive for new levels
in my life and accomplish
many of my dreams. Lastly,
a part of living is enjoying
the little things in life and my
surroundings. I have always
been an outdoorsy person, so
taking in the scents of a for-
est or dancing in the rain is
no problem for me. Enjoying
nature is a wonderful way for
me to let go and live my life.
My second guideline is to
laugh. Each person has his or
her own struggles in life but
its good to remember to be
happy. I make sure I never let
my struggles interfere with
my life as a whole. I try to
brush the hardships off and
smile as much as possible. I
also try to laugh at my mis-
takes and the things that dont
matter. Dwelling on past mis-
takes only weigh down life
and make it less enjoyable.
Finally, a part of being happy
is being myself. I dont let
others tell me how I should
live my life or act. I am a
unique person with many tal-
ents and dreams, and I wont
let anyone tell me otherwise.
I accept myself for who I am
and take pride in being me.
My last law of life is to
love. This is, in my perspec-
tive, the most important of all
my laws because love makes
life worth living. I am a very
family-oriented person so I
make sure I spend as much
time with my family as pos-
sible. They have helped me
through so much and have
offered me help no matter what
quandary I face. Similarly to
being family-oriented, I am
also very loyal and caring to
my friends. They have been
there for me no matter what
kind of predicament Im in.
I love them very much and
would stick by them through
thick and thin. Last but not
least, I love God. He is the
reason I am alive and doing
well. I put all of my trust
and faith in Him that He will
lead me through lifes ups and
downs. It is God that I love
over everything in my life.
I have lived my life by fol-
lowing these important laws.
I live with no regrets, I laugh
at my mistakes, and I love all
those who help me in my life.
Life is full of complications
and difficult dilemmas, but
keeping these laws in mind
can help me overcome the
toughest of obstacles. These
guidelines help me to live my
life to the fullest and be the
best person I can be. These are
not just the laws of my life,
but these laws are my life.
The Journey of Life
Julia Dickman
senior, St. Johns
School winner
When on a journey, an
innumerable amount of peo-
ple take the highway. In their
opinion, the highway is fast-
er, and the faster they get to
their destination, the better.
So many people today dont
take the time to appreciate life
and all of its wonders; they
do not stop to smell the roses.
Everything today is just rush,
rush, rush. There is no time in
peoples lives for anything but
getting the next thing done on
their to-do list. When people
live their lives in this way,
they are not living life to its
fullest; they are not enjoy-
ing life. They are just going
through the motions every day
and trying to get to where
theyre going. They forget that
life is not just about the desti-
nation, it is about the journey
you take to get there.
On our journey, we
encounter many signs that
guide us in the right direction.
Without these signs we would
get off on the wrong exit; we
would have to turn around and
backtrack to make up for our
mistakes. Without these signs
we would be lost. They point
in the right direction and show
us where to go. Likewise,
our guide signs in life point
us in the right direction and
show us the right thing to do.
They come in many different
forms. They may come in the
form of people, such as our
parents, who are responsible
for instilling the morals and
the values that we incorpo-
rate into our own laws of
life, and our teachers who are
responsible for teaching us
life skills. These people help
shape us into who we are and
how we live our lives. One of
the best guides we can use for
our lives is the Bible, which
steers us in the right direction
and helps get us back on track
when we lose our way.
Another type of sign that
goes hand in hand with our
guide signs are warning signs.
When driving down the road,
these signs warn us when we
are coming up to a curve or
some other dangerous condi-
tion that could hinder us on
our journey. Similarly, in our
life we come across many
warning signs. They are our
constant reminders in life to
watch out for temptations and
to stay on the right path and
not go off course. When we
do go off course, it is impera-
tive that we fix our mistakes
and ask for forgiveness to
bridge the gap of any rift that
has come between us and God
or our fellow neighbors.
Throughout our journey,
we will also come across con-
struction signs. There is work
that is constantly being done
on roads to make those roads
the safest and the most effi-
cient that they can be. In the
same way, we come across
construction in our own lives.
We are continuously going
through both mini-reforma-
tions and life-changing refor-
mations throughout our lives,
changing the way we act and
respond to others. With each
reformation, we grow as a
person and develop the laws
we live by. Our morals, our
values, and our beliefs grow
stronger and more defined
with each passing moment
and each reformation.
At some stage in our jour-
ney, we will come across ser-
vice signs. These signs dictate
to us services that may be
essential in a persons life,
such as hospitals, hotels, and
food. Whether he or she is in
need of food or shelter, these
signs are what helps that per-
son out in their times of need.
Correspondingly, in life, we
must be both the service signs
and the providers to those in
need. We must treat people
with care, understanding, and
respect and help those less
fortunate than us. We are
called to feed the hungry, give
drink to the thirsty, clothe the
naked, visit the sick, shelter
the homeless, visit the impris-
oned, and bury the dead. If
we fail to help out those in
need, we are not living up to
our morals and our values.
Someday, those people who
are in need may be us. If we
did not help out others when
they were in need, we can
not expect them to help us.
We must always live by the
Golden Rule and treat others
the way we would like to be
treated if we expect them to
do so in return.
Life is not just about the
destination, it is about the
journey you take to get there.
The journey that we take and
the signs that we follow on
our journey dictate the lives
that we have chosen to live. It
shows our morals and our val-
ues. Our lives are impacted by
the choices we make every-
day. These choices determine
which path our lives will go
down. Each decision we make
takes us down different roads
according to our own set of
laws: our morals, our values,
and our beliefs. How we live
our lives determines not only
the impact we have on our-
selves, but the impact we have
on others as well. There will
be no sign that says, Heaven
This Way! Instead there are
little signs guiding you in the
direction of your destination,
showing you the way and
keeping you on the right path.
We can not get caught up in
the hustle and bustle of life,
rather we must also remember
to enjoy life and all of its won-
ders and to take time to stop
and smell the roses along the
way of our journey of life.
The Divine Director
Chelsea Wellmann
Senior, St. Johns
Runner-up
Imagine standing on stage
behind the towering red cur-
tain just seconds before the
show begins. Opening night
has finally arrived and, after
many strenuous practices, the
audience members are eagerly
filling every seat with antici-
pation for the performance. As
the curtain opens, a new story
unfolds through the talents of
each performer. This scenario
is closely related to everyday
life. The world is our stage,
and we are all actors coming
together to create a beautifully
expressive story.
Our story begins when we
are brought into the world by
God, our director. At birth,
God gives each new human
being a unique role out-
lined in his Master Script.
Although we cannot see this
script, God guides us along
the way through the Bible,
special people in our lives,
guardian angels, and everyday
miracles. God knows each of
our talents and potentials, and
never gives us a role that we
are not capable of perform-
ing. No two people can play
the same role, however, so it
is important that we embrace
our differences rather than
trying to be like other people.
We are responsible for carry-
ing out these roles both enthu-
siastically and diligently.
As our all-knowing direc-
tor, God chooses his charac-
ters roles wisely. From the
leading characters to the stage
crew, each person is equally
important. In my life, I have
spent time both behind the
scenes and in the spotlight.
Volunteering, teaching, and
supporting others are just a
few ways we can participate
as stage crew members. Roles
in the spotlight are achieved
by developing and using our
God-given talents to the full-
est. In my life, I consider my
family, friends, and teachers
to be my own personal stage
crew. Without these people,
I would never be able to have
my time to shine in the spot-
light. We can find ourselves
frustrated at times because we
can become overwhelmed or
disappointed with the roles
that we have been given.
When this happens, we must
focus on the big picture and
trust this is all part of Gods
plan for our lives.
When we all work togeth-
er, we, as his characters, form
a truly unique work of art.
We are not alone on this stage
of life. We are surrounded
by supporting characters that
can step in at any moment
when we lose our way and
need some help. Our personal
experiences impact each other
and provide twists and turns in
Gods story. We add to the plot
with our tragedies, comedies,
romances, and occasional sat-
ire. These instances teach us,
Gods actors, valuable lessons
and help us to grow in our
understanding and knowledge
of Gods plan for our lives.
Sometimes, other people, our
audience, can learn from our
experiences and mistakes. We
are not perfect, but every day
we have opportunities to be a
good example of Gods love
to others. Many times, we will
fall on the stage of life, but
standing back up is what gives
us strength and wisdom. No
matter how many challenges
enter into Gods story, always
remember, The show must
go on!
In my life, I strive to play
the role God has given me
to the best of my ability. My
passion is using my talents to
praise God through music. As
the curtain closes on my high
school career, I find myself
ready to take the stage once
again, this time reaching for
a career in Musical Theatre.
I trust that God will shine
through me and use me as
an instrument of his love and
kindness. I encourage every-
one to thoroughly examine
the character he or she has
become in Gods musical. We
are all important and valued
no matter what our roles may
be. We must always be will-
ing to work hard at everything
we do, and remember that
working in the stage crew is
Gods way of preparing us for
even bigger roles in the future.
Dont be afraid to shine when
God brings about opportuni-
ties to stand in the spotlight.
Live life so your final bow is
answered by a standing ova-
tion. Break a leg!
LIVE
Kyle Hamilton
senior, Jefferson
runner-up
When you say live, what
comes to your mind. Do you
think of your life. The path that
you have chosen, or the path
that you have not chosen. Do
you ever wonder what would
have become of your life if
you had done something differ-
ent in the past. Have you ever
thought about the existence of
the world. The phases that it has
been through. From dinosaurs
and cavemen to scientist and
businessman. The world has
had many ups and downs just
like you may have had.
The word live means the
animate existence or period
of animate existence of an
individual. Life is a symbol
of happiness. In many parts of
the world people celebrate life
in many ways like birthdays
and anniversaries. The reason
they celebrate life is because
they are joyful for the time
they get to spend with that
one person. Your life means
everything to you. Your life
is what defines you in the
world. It is not how you look
but the decisions and actions
you have made or done that
will tell the world what kind
of person you are.
Another way you can view
life is as your own person-
al life. The way you view
yourself and what you have.
Dont hate the world because
you have been raised with
little money and items that are
not as good as your friends
or your neighbors. Be thank-
ful for the things that you
do have. The roof over your
head, the food in the fridge,
heat in the winter, and a fam-
ily that loves and supports you
no matter what you do. Never
cherish the things that your
neighbor or best buddy has
because it will make you lose
sight of what really matters in
life. Getting a good education,
getting a good job, starting a
family and raising that fam-
ily to the best of your ability
giving your son/daughter the
best things in life that you can
afford are things that matter.
You might think of life
as the existence of the plan-
et earth. The earth has been
around for millions of years
now. It has live in the universe
as a planet that bears a lot of
resources for people to live
off of. The world has been a
very remarkable place to live.
Throughout the years it has
been through many disasters.
The things that have happened
make you wonder how the
earth is still so beautiful and
lush with supplies for man-
kind. It all started in the age
of the dinosaurs. Volcanoes
and monstrous storms beat
the land. Meteors struck the
earth creating craters, and one
meteor was so big it caused an
ice age that killed most of the
dinosaurs that thrived on this
earth. After the dinosaurs died
mankind started to inhabit the
world. The earth has endured
a lot of ups and downs and is
still here today. It has had a
lot worse things happen to it
than you have had happen to
you. Do not let little things in
life stop you from what you
are trying to achieve. Think
of them as challenges that
will make you stronger in life
to conquer more challenges or
obstacles in your life ahead.
My law of life is that I
hope you understand that you
only live once. Dont just sit
back and take the slow lane.
You have to take a risk every
now and then and take the fast
lane. The life that you live
is the life that you are stuck
with, so make the most of it.
All Grown Up
George Closson
senior, Jefferson
School winner
On November 17, 2010
I celebrated my eighteenth
birthday. It was my first offi-
cial day as an adult. I could
now vote, do my own taxes,
purchase cigarettes, play the
lottery, and many other things
I was not allowed to do before.
Yet I didnt feel differently. I
felt the same the first of being
an adult as I did my last day
of being a child. It was then
when I realized I had been an
adult long before November
17, 2010.
I have made all the sacri-
fices of an adult. While my
friends were having fun and
enjoying the freedoms of
being a kid, I spent all of my
free time at work. It wasnt a
hard choice between going to
work and hanging out with my
friends. I chose work every
time because I knew that
both my family and I would
struggle based on my deci-
sions. Eight hours of working
meant about 54 dollars after
taxes. 54 dollars could pay
for my gas for the week or
about two days of groceries.
I knew that I couldnt afford
not to have gas in my car or
go two days without eating.
I do wonder sometimes how
I would be different if I did
have the luxury of spending
time with my friends more. I
think about the opportunities
I have missed and what my
life would be like if I had not
missed them.
Not only have I sacrificed
my time with my friends and
opportunities to grow social-
ly, but I have sacrificed my
other resources as well. I have
paid thousands of dollars for
bills and other household
expenses. I do not mind help-
ing my family with financial
support. Though as an eigh-
teen year old, there are other
ways I would prefer to use
my money. I could have used
my money to safe for college,
finance my braces or bought a
better car. There are so many
possibilities on what I could
have done with my money.
Yet, I still drive the same car,
my teeth are still crooked, and
I have no money saved for
college. I have chosen to pay
bills and help myself and my
family with as much financial
support as needed. I do this,
because I know its right. I do
this, because Im an adult.
Obviously, adulthood is
more than an eighteenth birth-
day cake. It is more than the
ability to vote, do taxes, pur-
chase tobacco products, and
play the lottery. Adulthood is
when you sacrifice going to
the movies with your friends
on Saturday night to go to
work. Adulthood is achieved
through the decisions and sac-
rifices we make to do what
is right.
Chain Reaction
Compassion
Nadine Clarkson
senior, Jefferson
Runner-up
One Sunday night I went to
the emergency room. I waited
in the lobby until being admit-
ted. The doctor came in, very
briefly and merely told me I
had bacteria in my colon called
colitis, and walked out. He
gave me no details, no com-
fort, no knowledge of what the
next move was. Shortly after
the nurse came in; she intro-
duced herself and explained all
my questions. She gave me the
feeling of existence I wanted,
but did not receive from my
doctor. The nurse treated me
like a person; not the next
patient she had to make a run
to. This compassion I was
given from my nurse changed
my entire of feelings for the
environment around me.
Showing something as minor
as sympathy and importance,
someones entire reaction or
response can change.
The littlest gestures can
make the most impact. It
wasnt the nurses care so
much as it was her attitude
while doing it that mattered.
She treated me as her own
sick daughter, more than
happy to be at my every call
and command. Appearing
that my comfort and health
was her first priority, she bent
over backwards for me. From
giving me medicine to grab-
bing heated blankets for my
chills, her undivided attention
was mine. Having a nurse
give that much attention to me
while remaining in a positive
attitude, made me more at
ease and able to focus on just
getting better. She was unlike
any nurse Ive had before.
It really hit me how much
I appreciated that nurse when
the next shift nurse came. This
nurse was completely different
from the last. She, of course,
did all the mandatory require-
ments and did everything I
asked, but she lacked the cheer-
ful, optimistic attitude as the
previous nurse. When I needed
something she looked reluctant
and irritated. Shed take her
sweet time and come back and
give an excuse for her delay
saying, Im sorry its taking
me awhile, but were busy and
everyone here is as sick as the
next person and I am doing
the best I can. I understood
they were busy, but it was her
attitude she reflected that made
a huge change in my outlook
of her. If she had a different
approach to me, it would have
not mattered if she took her
sweet time or raced down the
halls for me.
It might seem impractical
to think that a nurse could
have opened my eyes in such
a way, but the truth was her
positive, encouraging atmo-
sphere she brought to me was
contagious. I was drawn into
her kindness; I entranced by
difference in how I felt around
different attitudes and ener-
gies. When the nurses were
frustrated or stressed, I felt
frustrated and stressed, and
vice versa with nurses who
were calm, patient and under-
standing. She did not dwell on
the illness. She made me for-
get about the pain with replac-
ing it with laughter or comfort
items such as: warm blankets,
extra pillows, and ice packs.
Having someone as upbeat as
my nurse helped me cope and
better my health.
From first hand experi-
ence, I witnessed how being
compassionate and caring for
others at all times and circum-
stances, the ways it can change
someone are unlimited. By
listening or giving recogni-
tion, I can improve someones
attitude. I want to emulate the
nurses immeasurable com-
passion for people, and apply
it to everyone and everything.
With that being said, I only
hope it will have a chain like
reaction to influence the next
person to do the same.

By LINDSEY TANNER
AP Medical Writer
CHICAGO Nearly 1 in
20 Americans older than 50
have artificial knees, or more
than 4 million people, accord-
ing to the first national esti-
mate showing how common
these replacement joints have
become in an aging popula-
tion.
Doctors know the number
of knee replacement operations
has surged in the past decade,
especially in baby boomers.
But until now, there was no
good fix on the total number of
people living with them.
The estimate is important
because it shows that a big seg-
ment of the population might
need future knee-related care,
said Dr. Daniel Berry, presi-
dent of the American Academy
of Orthopedic Surgeons and
chairman of orthopedic sur-
gery at the Mayo Clinic in
Rochester, Minn. He was not
involved in the research.
People with knee replace-
ments sometimes develop knee
infections or scar tissue that
require additional treatment.
But also, even artificial knees
wear out, so as the opera-
tions are increasingly done on
younger people, many will live
long enough to almost certain-
ly need a second or even third
knee replacement.
The new estimate comes
in an analysis being presented
Friday at the academys annual
meeting in San Francisco.
These data are sobering
because we didnt know what
an army of people weve cre-
ated over the last decade, said
Elena Losina, lead author of
the analysis and co-director of
the Orthopedics and Arthritis
Center for Outcomes Research
at Harvards Brigham and
Womens Hospital. The num-
bers will only increase, based
on current trends.
Replacement joints can
greatly improve quality of
life for people with worn-out
knees, but theyre not risk-free
and its a major operation that
people should not take lightly,
she said.
Modern knee replace-
ments in the United States
date back to the 1970s. Since
then, advances in materials and
techniques, including imaging
scans to create better-fitting
joints, have made the implants
more durable and lifelike, sur-
geons say.

ALEPPO, Syria Two
suicide car bombers struck
security compounds in Aleppo
on Friday, killing 28 people,
Syrian officials said, bring-
ing significant violence for the
first time to an industrial cen-
ter that has largely stood by
President Bashar Assad during
the 11-month uprising against
his rule.
Anti-Assad activists denied
any involvement and accused
the regime of setting off the
blasts to smear the opposi-
tion as government forces
pummel rebels in one of their
main strongholds, Homs. State
media touted the bombings as
proof the regime faces a cam-
paign by terrorists, not a popu-
lar uprising.
The military stepped up its
siege of Homs, where hundreds
have reportedly been killed
over the past week. Soldiers
who have been bombarding
the central city made their first
ground move, storming into
one of the most restive neigh-
borhoods. Satellite image pro-
vider DigitalGlobe Inc., based
in Colorado, released photos
Friday that it said show Syrian
army tanks and other armored
vehicles near apartment build-
ings in the city.
Troops and security forces
opened fire on anti-regime
protesters who streamed out of
mosques after Friday prayers
nationwide. At least 27 civil-
ians were killed, according
to the London-based Syrian
Observatory for Human
Rights.
The morning blasts in
Aleppo, Syrias most popu-
lous city, ripped apart the
facades of the local headquar-
ters of the Military Intelligence
Directorate and a barracks
of the Security Preservation
forces.
At the Directorate, windows
were shattered and a large cra-
ter was torn into the pavement
outside the entrance. A weep-
ing correspondent on state-run
TV showed graphic footage of
at least five corpses, collected
in sacks and under blankets by
the side of the road.
Security officials said sui-
cide bombers in explosives-
packed vehicles tried to smash
through the entrances of both
sites. At the barracks, Brig.
Firas Abbas told an Associated
Press reporter on a govern-
ment-guided visit to the scene
that the vehicle made it through
one roadblock before detonat-
ing near the gates. A head lay
on the ground and security
officials said it belonged to a
suicide attacker.
State television cited the
Health Ministry as saying 28
people were killed in the two
blasts and 235 wounded. The
dead included 11 security per-
sonnel killed at the barracks,
13 military personnel killed at
the military intelligence build-
ing and four civilians, security
officials said.
State TV blamed terror-
ists. But anti-government
activists accused the regime
of setting off the blasts to dis-
credit the opposition and avert
protests that had been planned
in the city on Friday.
Capt. Ammar al-Wawi of
the Free Syrian Army, a rebel
group that wants to bring down
the regime by force, denied
involvement. He said fighters
from his group had a short
gunbattle with troops several
hundred yards (meters) from
the Directorate about an hour
before the explosion but did
not carry out the bombings.
This explosion is the work
of the regime to divert world
attention from the crimes it is
committing against the people
of Homs, he said.
The blasts were the fourth
such dramatic suicide attack
since late December. All
occurred on Friday mornings
against various security head-
quarters and prompted the
same exchange of accusations.
The earlier attacks, in the capi-
tal Damascus, killed dozens of
security forces and civilians,
according to Syrian officials.
Nobody has claimed responsi-
bility for any of the attacks.
Fridays bombings were
the first significant violence
in Aleppo, a northern city of
some 2 million people that is
home to a prosperous busi-
ness community and merchant
class whose continued back-
ing for Assad has been crucial
in bolstering his regime.
The city has seen only
occasional protests. Assads
opponents have had little suc-
cess in galvanizing support
there, in part because business
leaders have long traded polit-
ical freedoms for economic
privileges. Also, the city has
a large population of Kurds,
who have mostly stayed on the
sidelines of the uprising since
Assads regime began giving
them long-denied citizenship
as a gesture to win support.
Syria says suicide bombers kill 28 in Aleppo

ATHENS, Greece
Greeces future in the euro-
zone came under renewed
threat Friday as popular pro-
tests again turned violent and
dissent grew among its law-
makers after European leaders
demanded deeper spending
cuts.
The countrys beleaguered
coalition government prom-
ised to push through the tough
new austerity measures and
rescue a crucial (euro) 130
billion ($170 billion) bailout
deal after six members of the
Cabinet resigned.
Prime Minister Lucas
Papademos promised to do
everything necessary to
ensure parliament passes the
new austerity measures that
would slap Greeks with a
minimum wage cut during a
fifth year of recession.
It is absolutely neces-
sary to complete the effort
that began almost two years
to consolidate public financ-
es, restore competitiveness
and economic recovery,
Papademos told an emergency
Cabinet meeting.
In central Athens, clashes
erupted outside Parliament
between dozens of hooded
youths and police in riot gear.
Police said eight officers and
two members of the public
were injured, while six sus-
pected rioters were arrested.
The violence broke as more
than 15,000 people took to
the streets of the capital after
unions launched a two-day
general strike that disrupted
transport and other public ser-
vices and left state hospitals
running on emergency staff.
Scores of youths, some in
gas masks, used sledge ham-
mers to smash up marble pav-
ing stones in Athens main
Syntagma Square before hurl-
ing the rubble at riot police.
Debt-stricken Greece does
not have the money to cover
a (euro) 14.5 billion bond
repayment on March 20, and
must reach a vital debt-relief
deal with private bond inves-
tors before then.
Papademos said the bail-
out and the deal with private
creditors would return Greece
to growth next year, and
deliver a 4.5 percent primary
surplus in 2012 better than
an earlier official prediction of
1.1 percent of gross domestic
product.
A disorderly default would
cast our country into a cata-
strophic adventure. It would
create conditions of uncon-
trollable economic chaos and
social explosion, he warned.
Greeks standard of living
in the event of a disorderly
default would collapse, and
the country would be swept
into a deep vortex of recession,
instability, unemployment and
penury. These developments
would lead, sooner or later, to
exit from the euro.
Earlier Friday, the small
right-wing LAOS party in
Papademos coalition said
it would not back the new
measures and four of its offi-
cials in the cabinet resigned,
including the countrys trans-
port minister. Two Socialists
cabinet members have also
quit.
LAOS leader George
Karatzaferis said rescue credi-
tors had humiliated Greece.
Of course we do not want
to be outside the EU, but we
can get by without being under
the German jackboot, he said.
I would rather starve.
Greece has promised
to approve the new auster-
ity measures as emergency
legislation by late Sunday,
despite deep public resent-
ment. Papademos coalition is
backed by 252 lawmakers in
the 300-seat parliament.
Greek PM says default would lead to chaos

Tomorrows Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol
SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 2012
Although theres a strong chance
that you could be saddled with a
few more responsibilities than usual
in the year ahead, youll find them
manageable. On the plus side of
things, a secret ambition youve long
nurtured is likely to be fulfilled.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
19) -- Provided you dont try to
force your views on others, you
can be extremely convincing. Most
people will find that your views and
suggestions have merit and are worth
exploring.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) --
Dont let your guard down regarding
your financial affairs for a minute,
because things could be a bit trickier
than usual. Go slow, even when you
think you have a good deal.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) --
Arrangements you make to partake
in a group involvement will work
out rather well. Yet, for some reason,
one-on-one encounters will prove to
be problematic.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20) -- Be careful about making a
commitment to help another tackle a
difficult job. The person you offered
to assist might sit back and let you
handle it all on your own.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) --
When helping out someone who has
to complete a difficult task, it could
be a mistake to try to lighten up the
job with a little humor. The other
party might not be in the mood for
any sort of frolic.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) --
Although certain dealings you have
with family members might be a bit
abrasive, involvements you have
outside of your domestic domain will
be fun and quite successful.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Even
if most of your ideas are quite
good, you still must guard against
inclinations to impulsively introduce
some last-minute changes into the
picture. Theres a good chance they
would gum up the works.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
-- In an arrangement where you
need to share something of value
with another, strive to be fair. Any
hint of selfishness on your part will
provoke a similar reaction from your
associate.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) --
Its important to be a team player in
situations that require a collective
effort. Being a smart aleck or
resorting to showboating could
seriously impair matters, and youll
end up all alone.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) --
Events must be properly scheduled in
order for you to have adequate time
to participate in everything. Anything
you try to slip in at the last minute
will come a-cropper.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec.
21) -- When you share the same
hopes and expectations with your
friends or associates, good things can
happen. Combined ambitions lead to
stronger unions.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19) -- Certain difficult goals can be
achievable, but only if youre willing
to pay the price. Before pursuing
anything, be sure it is worth the
bumps and bruises you might have
to take.

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 2012
Past experiences, both bitter and
sweet, will aid you more than you
ever imagined in the year ahead.
Even though some of the lessons
may have been harsh, they now will
prove to be of immense help to you in
handling some ticklish problems.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)
-- Go out of your way to find some
time to be with an old friend, because
itll give you a lift in a big way.
Seeing him or her will be just what
you need.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20)
-- Successful end results can be
achieved through persistence and
tenacity. Any early setbacks that you
might experience can be transformed
into victories.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) --
Regardless of what youre working
on, even if it is something new, results
should be pleasant and copious. If
you should need some advice along
the line, it will be there.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20) -- It may have taken more
time than it should have, but that
acknowledgement and compensation
you deserve for something that had
to be done the hard way will finally
be there.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) --
Because you wont be intimidated
or taken for granted, youll manage
to be practical about how you handle
things. Seeing your job for what it is
will really be a big help to you.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- If
youre in need of someone to confide
in, be sure to seek out a practically
minded recipient whom you can open
up to without fear of reprisal.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
-- Because youre willing to be
cooperative and to make some hard
concessions, youll set the example
for those youre dealing with. Theyll
follow whatever script you write.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
-- A singleness of purpose and total
dedication to your objectives will be
the reason for your success. Youre
likely to accomplish things that
others find impossible to do.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) --
Youre not likely to feel comfortable
or effective when around individuals
whose philosophy or standards
dont match yours. When you have
parity in your party, anything is
possible.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) --
A longstanding personal matter that
has been hanging around your neck
for far too long may finally be put to
rest. Itll be concluded in your favor,
but with a big lesson attached.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec.
21) -- Go ahead and ask for that
much-needed advice, but be prepared
to receive some bittersweet counsel.
Heed it, because the medicine will
make you well.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19) -- Although there wont be any
free rides offered, that doesnt mean
your powers of acquisition will be
totally impotent. Hard work is your
ticket to success.
