School takes
stand against
voucher bill
BY MIKE FORD
mford@delphosherald.com
FORT JENNINGS
During its regular meeting
for the month, the Jennings
Local School Board passed
a resolution opposing Fourth
District Representative Matt
Huffmans (R-Lima) school
voucher bill in the Ohio
House. Superintendent Nick
Langhals said the districts
concern is not in having to
compete with private schools
and those institutions are in
no way opposed but legisla-
tors must not give them spe-
cial treatment.
We are standing up to
defend ourselves a little bit
here weve been rated
Excellent for 10 years and
we are providing a good edu-
cation to our students. Now,
they want to give our stu-
dents a chance to go some-
where else and take public
dollars with them. We already
have open enrollment but that
doesnt take public dollars
away from public education.
Were willing to compete but
we have to be on a level play-
ing field, he said.
If they want public dollars
and our legislators want to do
that, we all have to be held to
the same requirements and be
held accountable in the same
ways. We educate every stu-
dent who comes through our
doors, so they should have
to accept every student who
comes to them; offer the same
programs and all the different
things public schools around
here offer their students.
Aside from taking a stand,
Langhals would like legisla-
tors to take heed when the
number of public schools
passing similar resolutions
stacks up.
Were all saying the same
thing we are not against
private schools but if they are
going to get public dollars,
they have to be held account-
able in the same ways we
are. We are not against pri-
vate schools and we are not
afraid to compete with them.
Public education is the basis
of everything and, right now,
it seems like the legislators
are moving toward privatiza-
tion, he said.
In part, the resolution reads
as follows:
Whereas, the operation of
the proposed program would
take dollars directly from the
already financially-beleaguered
local public school districts
resulting in fewer resources
for the education of remain-
ing students; now therefore, be
it resolved, that the Jennings
Local School District Board of
Education does hereby express
its opposition to this legisla-
tion, HB 136.
The resolution passed
unanimously.
In other business:
The board accepted a
donation from the activ-
ity boosters to the band trip
fund for $3,378.91 and a $50
library donation from Larry
and Charlie Streets;
All school book bills
were approved;
The senior trip to
Washington, D.C., on April
19-22 was approved;
Neil Wittler was approved
as junior high basketball
coach and Dave Luersman to
the boys elementary basket-
ball program;
The list of persons to call
upon as substitute teachers
was approved; and
The board commended
the seniors and Rosemary
Warnecke on this years class
play.
On the upcoming school
events calendar, the grades 6-12
Fall Band and Choir Concert
will be held at 7 p.m. Oct. 20;
Red Ribbon Week will be cel-
ebrated Oct. 24-28; parent/
teacher conferences Nov. 2 and
3; and the Fall Athletic Banquet
at 6 p.m. Nov. 8.
If they want
public dollars and
our legislators
want to do that,
we all have to be
held to the same
requirements and
be held account-
able in the same
ways. We educate
every student who
comes through
our doors, so they
should have to
accept every stu-
dent who comes
to them; offer the
same programs
and all the dif-
ferent things
public schools
around here offer
their students.

Kroger recalls ice cream for nuts
CINCINNATI (AP)
Kroger Co. is recalling
ice cream sold in 10 states
because it may contain pea-
nuts not mentioned on the
label.
Kroger says people with
peanut allergies could have
a serious or even life-threat-
ening reaction if they eat the
Private Selection Extreme
Moose Tracks ice cream
being recalled.
The recall involves only
16-ounce pints of the product
with a sell-by date of June
18, 2012 and the UPC code
11110 52909.
The ice cream was sold
at Kroger stores in Alabama,
Georgia, Illinois, Indiana,
Kentucky, Michigan,
Missouri, Ohio, South
Carolina and Tennessee.
Kroger says shoppers
should return the product to
supermarkets for a refund or
replacement.

Library puts eBooks on hold
BY STACY TAFF
staff@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS Keeping
current with technology and
social trends, the Delphos
Public Library may offer
eBooks in the near future.
Kindles, Nooks and other
electronic reading devices
are growing in popularity, so
the library is inquiring with
the state for grant funds and
discussed the matter during
Wednesdays meeting.
If we are going to offer
eBooks, it has to be run
through SEO, which we
arent currently a member
of, Assistant Librarian
Margaret Suever said. Now,
its pretty expensive to join
but the state is giving out
grants for those who want to
join, so we wouldnt be pay-
ing much of the cost. Right
now, we have somewhere
around 58,000 items in our
library but if we joined SEO,
we would have access to 6.7
million items. That includes
more than just eBooks.
Suever advised the board
to wait until next year to
begin the program to avoid
potential complications and
added costs due to incom-
patible systems.
Theyre currently in the
process of changing their
system and we have the sys-
tem theyre changing it to,
Suever said. If we wait
until next year to join, it will
cost less for us because our
system will be compatible
with theirs.
The board decided to
invite a program repre-
sentative to speak at the
November meeting.
This is something we
should definitely consider
because it is the future,
board member Leila Osting
said. Part of what we want
to do with this is keep peo-
ple interested in reading.
In other news, Library
Director Nancy Mericle said
there has been some plan-
ning for a celebration during
the 2012 National Library
week.
The main reason we
were talking about doing
this is it will be 100 years
of service for the library
in 2012, she said. So
we thought it would be
interesting to have some
refreshments and then the
girls were talking about
maybe having some mem-
bers of the Lima Symphony
Orchestra come over and do
a performance. We could
also take the opportunity to
have an open house for the
First Edition building.
On the subject of the new
building, Osting announced
the arrival of the new win-
dow blinds.

Magazine

Dear EarthTalk: What is the environ-
mental impact of so many people now using
sites like Facebook and spending so much
time online?
Bob Yearling, Paris, TX
The environmental impact of so much
online time really boils down to energy usage,
which in turn affects the amount of green-
house gases we pump into our atmosphere.
For one, each of us can help by limiting com-
puter time (whether surfing the net or not)
and shutting them down or putting them into
sleep mode when we arent using them (this
can be automated via the computers power
management control panel).
Also, when shopping for a new computer,
consumers and businesses alike can opt for
models certified by the federal government
as energy efficient with the Energy Star label.
If all computers sold in the U.S. met Energy
Star requirements, Americans could pocket
$1.8 billion annually in saved energy costs
and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by an
amount equivalent to taking some two million
cars off the road.
Individual responsibility aside, the creation
and management of more efficient data centers
by the major online hubsespecially as we
enter the age of cloud computing whereby
most of the software, content and services we
look to our computers for resides online and
is served to us as-neededis what can have
the biggest impact. Google, Facebook, and
Amazon.com are already deeply committed to
the cloud computing model, with Microsoft,
Yahoo and others following suit accordingly.
For its part, Google has been a real leader
in the building of green data centers, even
powering them with renewable energy. The
company recently released environmental
footprint scores for several of its data cen-
ters. While the energy usage required to run
its cloud services (Google Search, Google+,
Gmail and YouTube) seems huge in the
aggregateit used 260 megawatt hours to
power its data centers in 2010it boils down
to only 7.4 kilowatt hours worth of energy
annually per user. Google reports that to
provide an individual user with its services
for a month uses less energy than leaving a
light bulb on for three hours. And because the
company has been carbon neutral since 2007,
even that small amount of energy is offset
completely, so the carbon footprint of your
life on Google is zero.
In an April 2011 report entitled How Dirty
is your Data? the non-profit Greenpeace
examined energy sources for the 10 largest
IT companies involved in cloud computing,
finding Apple, Facebook and IBM especially
guilty of getting significant amounts of power
from coal-fired power plants. (Facebook had
come under fire earlier this year when report-
ers uncovered that the company planned to
buy electricity for its brand new eco-friendly
data center in Prineville, Oregonone of the
greenest such facilities ever designed and
constructedfrom a utility that derives most
of its power from coal.) Yahoo, Amazon.com
and Microsoft scored best in use of renewable
alternative energy sources for cloud services.
In the long run, analysts think that the
widespread shift to cloud computing will be
a great boon to the environment. A report
released in September 2011 by Pike Research,
Cloud Computing Energy Efficiency, pre-
dicts that because of the shift to cloud com-
puting and increasing efficiencies, data center
power consumption will decrease by 31 per-
cent between 2010 and 2020.

COLUMBUS A nation-
wide coalition of pro-life
groups said Wednesday it is
preparing to push legislation
in all 50 states requiring that
pregnant women see and hear
the fetal heartbeat before hav-
ing an abortion.
The effort follows the
introduction of similar legis-
lation at the federal level by
Republican presidential can-
didate and U.S. Rep. Michele
Bachmann of Minnesota.
Ohio Right to Life direc-
tor Mike Gonidakis, whose
group is part of the coalition,
said the 50-state push was not
a response to a bill moving
through the Ohio Legislature
that would outlaw the pro-
cedure at the first detectable
heartbeat. His group has
not endorsed the Ohio bill
because of legal concerns,
though Bachmann has said
she supports it.
We know it can with-
stand a judicial challenge, and
we know its an approach
thats worked over the years,
Gonidakis said of his coali-
tions proposal. Hundreds
of thousands of babies are
alive now because their moth-
ers heard the heartbeat and
changed their minds.
Should the Ohio bill
become law, it would impose
the nations most stringent
abortion limit. The legisla-
tion has divided the pro-life
community in Ohio, the home
state of International Right to
Life founder Jack Willke.
Ohio Right to Life has
withheld its support for the
so-called heartbeat bill,
contending the measure could
not withstand a court chal-
lenge under Roe v. Wade.
The landmark U.S Supreme
Court ruling sought to strike a
balance between states rights
to limit the procedure and a
womans right to privacy.
The Ohio bill ties an abor-
tion ban to the detection of
the fetal heartbeat and has the
potential to prevent abortions
as early as six weeks into
pregnancy before many
women know they are preg-
nant.
Scores of restrictions
aimed at reducing access to
abortion have been approved
so far in state legislatures this
year. Five states Alabama,
Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, and
Oklahoma have passed
measures banning virtually
all abortions after five months
of pregnancy.
The informed-consent bill
thats being pushed in the 50
states would require abortion
practitioners to make the fetal
heartbeat audible and visible
to pregnant women before an
abortion. Its being backed by
the National Right to Life, the
U.S. Conference of Catholic
Bishops, Americans United
for Life, Susan B. Anthony
List and Family Research
Council Action.
While the separate strat-
egies show internal differ-
ences, their purpose is the
same, said Kellie Copeland,
executive director of NARAL
Pro-Choice Ohio, an abor-
tion-rights group.
Lets be clear, they all
want to take away a womans
ability to make personal, pri-
vate decisions by outlawing
abortion, Copeland said.
Gonidakis said the coali-
tions plan has been in the
works for six months, and
has been vetted with coalition
lawyers.
This is it, Gonidakis said.
This is the one thats going
to continue to save lives in
the current court environment
we have.
The Ohio heartbeat bill
cleared the states House in
late June, though it has been
stalled in the Senate.

COLUMBUS (AP)
Ohios elections chief has

new congressional map on
next years ballot.
Secretary of State Jon
Husted, a Republican, says
the redistricting legislation
laying out the new U.S.
House districts contained an
appropriation and took effect
immediately, so it isnt sub-
ject to referendum.
Democrats say this bol-
sters their legal standing
before the Ohio Supreme
Court. They have a case
pending there arguing the
maneuver by Republicans to
add the spending component
to the bill shouldnt block it
from a ballot challenge.
The lawsuit cites a 2009
case where the high court
said an effort to legalize
racetrack slots was sub-
ject to repeal despite being
included in the appropria-
tion-laden state budget.

WASHINGTON
Congress approved free
trade agreements today with
South Korea, Colombia and
Panama, ending a four-year
drought in the forming of new
trade partnerships and giving
the White House and Capitol
Hill the opportunity to show
they can work together to
stimulate the economy and
put people back to work.
In rapid succession, the
House and Senate voted on
the three trade pacts, which
the administration says could
boost exports by $13 billion
and support tens of thousands
of American jobs. None of
the votes were close, despite
opposition from labor groups
and other critics of free trade
agreements who say they
result in job losses and ignore
labor rights problems in the
partner countries.
We dont do much
around here thats bipartisan
these days, said Sen. Rob
Portman, R-Ohio, who was
U.S. Trade Representative
during the George W. Bush
administration. This is an
example of where we can
come together as Republicans
and Democrats realizing that
with 14 million Americans
out of work, we need to do
things to move our economy
forward.
President Barack Obama
said passage of the agree-
ments was a major win for
American workers and busi-
nesses.
Tonights vote, with
bipartisan support, will sig-
nificantly boost exports that
bear the proud label Made
in America, support tens of
thousands of good-paying
American jobs and protect
labor rights, the environment
and intellectual property. ... I
look forward to signing these
agreements.
The agreements would
lower or eliminate tariffs
that American exporters face
in the three countries. They
also take steps to better pro-
tect intellectual property and
improve access for American
investors in those countries.
The last free trade agreement
completed was with Peru in
2007.
The House also passed
and sent to Obama for his
signature a bill to extend aid
to workers displaced by for-
eign competition. Obama had
demanded that the worker aid
bill be part of the trade pack-
age.
Years in the making, the
votes come just a day after
Senate Republicans were
unified in rejecting Obamas
$447 billion jobs creation ini-
tiative
The agreement with South
Korea, the worlds 13th larg-
est economy, was the big-
gest such deal since the
North American Free Trade
Agreement with Mexico and
Canada in 1994.
The votes were 278-151
for South Korea, 300-129
for Panama and 262-167 for
Colombia. The Senate votes
were 83-15 for Korea, 77-22
for Panama and 66-33 for
Colombia.
Despite the strong majori-
ties, the debate was not with-
out rancor.
Lori Wallach, director of
Public Citizens Global Trade
Watch, said the job-killing
agreements were a complete
flip-flop for President Obama,
who won crucial swing states
by pledging to overhaul our
flawed trade policies.
In Cartagena, Colombian
President Juan Manuel Santos
said, Today is a historic
day for relations between
Colombia and the United
States. He added that the
agreement with his country
is going to generate much
well-being for our peoples.
But Tarsicio Mora, presi-
dent of Colombias CUT labor
federation, said Colombias
economy was not ready to
compete with the U.S.
Our country isnt devel-
oped, it does not have the
expertise much less the
requirements for trade at this
level, Mora said. The coun-
try should be clear as to who
is responsible for the coming
massacre, because industry,
large and small businesses
are going to be hit because
we are not in a condition to
compete.

WASHINGTON Is
President Barack Obama
running for re-election as an
against-the-odds underdog or
the confident front-runner?
Sometimes even Obama
himself doesnt seem to know
for sure.
As the president travels the
country, he tells supporters
he expects to win re-election
because he believes his ideas
and vision for the country
are better than those of his
Republican rivals.
But he is also quick to cast
himself as the underdog, run-
ning for a second term amid
a shaky economy for which
he acknowledges hes at least
partly responsible.
In trying to have it both
ways, Obama is looking to
assure supporters of a path
to victory while infusing his
incumbent bid for the White
House with some of the
enthusiasm of his long-shot
campaign in 2008. But run-
ning as the underdog may not
be as true a fit for Obama this
time around given the inher-
ent power of the presidency
and, well, that he has already
won once.
So which is it? Underdog
or favorite?
To be sure, Obamas
chances of winning a second
term appear weakened by the
countrys economic woes and
Washingtons inability to do
anything to lower an unem-
ployment rate that has been
stuck above 9 percent for
months. The presidents poll
numbers have plummeted,
falling to the mid- to low-40s
in many recent polls.
But even accounting for
those troubling numbers, the
perks of being the incumbent
make the underdog label a
tricky fit for Obama. Theres
the pageantry of Air Force
One arrivals in swing states, a
monopoly on the Democratic
fundraising network and a
national profile unmatched
by any Republican rival.
If youre the underdog
and youre the incumbent
president, something has gone
terribly wrong, Republican
strategist John Feehery said.
Even some Democrats
are skeptical of the notion
that Obama is running from
behind.
Its hard to argue that
the person residing in the
White House is ever really
the underdog, said Donna
Brazile, an adviser to Bill
Clintons two presidential
campaigns.
Obama says the role suits
him.
I dont mind it. Im used
to being the underdog, he
said in a recent interview,
embracing the label as soon
as he was asked about it.
Politicians often own being
the underdog as a way to
build enthusiasm and urgency
among their base. Obama did
it himself in 2008. But back
then, he clearly was.
As Obama reminds his
supporters, he was a relative-
ly unknown, first-term sena-
tor with a funny name when
he beat the odds-on favorite,
Hillary Rodham Clinton, in
the 2008 Democratic prima-
ry. He went on to defeat the
more-seasoned Republican
nominee, Sen. John McCain,
in the general election, carry-
ing 53 percent of the popular
vote and winning not only
the traditional battlegrounds,
but also states like North
Carolina and Virginia that
typically lean Republican.
Obamas success hinged
in part on turning his status as
an underdog and Washington
outsider not only into a
groundswell of support, but
also an unprecedented grass-
roots campaign and small-
donor network.
Now, nearly three years
into the presidents term, its
not hard to see why his cam-
paign might want to recapture
some of that underdog energy.
Obama may still have solid
support among Democrats,
but the enthusiasm is less
palpable. And some liberal
backers are downright angry
over some of the presidents
policies and what they see
as a tendency to give in to
Republicans too easily. They
may vote for the president in
the end, but Obama says he
needs more than that.
Obama seeks to recapture underdog appeal

WASHINGTON Mitt
Romney seems firmly in
command in a Republican
presidential field that hasnt
figured out how to stop him.
Twelve weeks before the
first party voting, the GOP
establishment is coalesc-
ing around the former
Massachusetts governor. He
has more campaign experi-
ence, money and organiza-
tion than anyone else. He
showed again this week that
hes the best debater in the
bunch. And President Barack
Obamas campaign is treating
him almost as the presump-
tive nominee even though
Romney still faces challenges
in some early voting states.
The biggest question in
Republican circles is when
and how Texas Gov. Rick
Perry will use his own sub-
stantial campaign funds to
buy TV ads hitting Romneys
record on health care, abor-
tion, gay rights and job cre-
ation.
Perrys campaign, which
seems best-positioned to
challenge Romney, dropped
broad hints Wednesday that
the moment is near.
Now that the field is
full, the air war will start
soon, said Katon Dawson,
former chairman of the South
Carolina GOP and Perrys
top adviser in the state. We
seem to be inside a 100-
day window, Dawson said.
Governor Perry will be
extremely competitive on the
air.
The tone is different up
the coast in New Hampshire.
Among rank-and-file
Republicans there, even those
who favor other candidates
have a sense that Romney has
gained an air of inevitability.
Its very frustrating, said
state Rep. Jim Waddell, of
Hampton, who backs former
Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman.
Some go even further
about Perrys recent drop. In
New Hampshire, he certain-
ly is done, said GOP state
Rep. Keith Murphy, who is
uncommitted in the race.
Perrys advisers say theres
plenty of time to overtake
Romney in key states. They
are frustrated by bad reviews
of the Texans debate perfor-
mances, including Tuesdays
in New Hampshire. They say
its Romney who is ripe for
sharp criticism of his revised
positions on abortion, gay
rights and gun control, all
now markedly more conser-
vative than in the 1990s and
early 2000s.
In the debates so far, Perry
has generally fallen flat when
hitting Romneys flip-flops
and the health care initiative
that required Massachusetts
residents to obtain medical
insurance. Perrys advisers
say aggressive TV ads will
do a far more powerful job.
Although Republican
and Democratic insiders see
Romney as the front-runner,
several signs give Perry
and the other rivals hope.
Most Republican polls show
Romney falling well short of
a majority of support, as rest-
less voters consider one alter-
native after another.
An NBC-Marist College
poll in Iowa found that tea
party supporters prefer Cain.
In national polls, combined
support for Cain, Perry and
Bachmann exceeds Romneys
support.
Romney inevitable? Perry poised to attack with ads
ATLANTA (AP) If
theres a policy star in the
Republican presidential pri-
mary it may be Herman Cains
9-9-9 tax overhaul plan.
It has helped fuel the
Georgia businessmans sud-
den surge in the GOP race.
But behind the catchy slo-
gan is a reality: Experts say
it will raise taxes on some
Americans.
Roberton Williams, senior
fellow at the nonpartisan
Urban-Brookings Tax Policy
Center, said under Cains plan
taxes would rise on the elder-
ly and the poorest Americans
who earn less than $20,000
a year.
The top end earners
would see a big tax cut and
the bottom end would see a
big tax increase, Williams
said. Where in the middle it
would break even we dont
know because we dont have
the details of the plan.
The proposal would elimi-
nate the capital gains as well
as payroll taxes that fund
Social Security and Medicare.
Corporations wouldnt pay
a tax on dividends and the
9-9-9 plan would lower the
corporate income tax from 35
percent to 9 percent.
The plan would also imple-
ment a new national sales tax,
which draws little enthusiasm
among the GOPs conserva-
tive base.
Still, 9-9-9 has placed the
charismatic Cain in the thick
of the primary battle. Now
the trick will be staying there.
On Wednesday, Cain pledged
to ramp up his ground game
in the early primary states of
New Hampshire and Iowa,
an effort to capitalize on his
momentum.
The plan would scrap the
current tax code and replace
it with a 9 percent tax on
personal income and corpora-
tions as well as a new 9 per-
cent national sales tax.
Cain argues the 9-9-9 pro-
posal would expand the tax
base so more Americans are
contributing to government
coffers while at the same time
getting government out of the
business of picking winners
and losers through the tax
code.
The final phase of Cains
plan would move to a so-
called fair tax, eliminating the
income and corporate income
taxes in favor of a national
sales tax.
Its bold, Jeanne Seaver,
co-founder of the Savannah,
Ga., tea party. I like that you
know where you stand with
his plan.
But while some are swayed
by the plans simplicity it
can fit on a bumper sticker
compared with Mitt Romneys
160-page plan critics on
the left say it would place a
greater tax burden on middle-
and low-income Americans
by stripping away deductions
that currently complicate the
federal tax code.
Most low-income families
currently pay less than 9 per-
cent of their income in federal
taxes. Nearly half of all U.S.
households mostly low-
and middle-income families
pay no federal income
taxes, according to the Joint
Committee on Taxation.
Cain argued Tuesday
night that low-income work-
ers would pay less because
he would eliminate payroll
taxes, which total 15.3 per-
cent of wages.
9-9-9 plan gives
Cain a boost

Donovan to lead discussion on SAD
Roberta Donovan, LISW,
at Foundations Behavioral
Health Center of Celina will
lead discussion on Seasonal
Affective Disorder (SAD) at
the 6 p.m. Monday meeting
of the National Alliance on
Mental Illness (NAMI).
Donovan is a graduate of
Bluffton University and has
a masters degree in social
work. She presently serves
on the NAMI Board of
Directors.
Those with Seasonal
Affective Disorder or their
families notice periods
of depression that seem to
accompany seasonal changes
during the year. Usually they
become depressed in the fall
and winter and feel better
during the spring and sum-
mer. Depression is usually
mild to moderate and can be
treated with good results.
Meetings are held at the
Challenged Higher Peer
Support Drop-In Center at
407 N. Franklin, Van Wert,
which is just south of Vantage
Vocational School.
The public is always wel-
come.

BOWLING ROUNDUP
By JIM METCALFE
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com
St. Johns is coming off a
last-minute loss to Coldwater
last Friday night.
Fort Recovery lost 34-14
to Anna a week ago.
Both are looking to
get back on track this
Friday at Stadium Park
in a Midwest Athletic
Conference tussle.
The Jays enter at 4-3,
4-1 in the MAC, while
the Indians are 3-4, 1-4
in the MAC.
Fort Recovery con-
tinues to get better and
their program seems to get
better each year. They have
the three wins and they lost
to Parkway in overtime two
weeks ago, St. Johns men-
tor Todd Schulte explained.
They do some different
things this year instead of
just the spread offense; they
have lined up in 2-tight for-
mations with a running back
and a 2-running back set with
a tight end. They are more
balanced between the run and
the pass. The two go-to guys
outside are (Aaron) Vagedes
and (Derek) Gaerke. They
have good speed and they try
to get them the ball quickly.
Our biggest concern is they
run something like 22 dif-
ferent formations; that forces
your defense to quickly rec-
ognize and figure out their
tendencies in those forma-
tions.
Defensively, we have
seen them in their traditional
4-4 and also a 5-man line
of some sort. We are pre-
pared for either of
them, especially the
4-man front; we have
seen that the last two
weeks.
The Jays will try
to get their running
game going this week
after struggling most
of the season, aver-
aging 139 yards per
game and 231.1 overall (19.6
points). Jordan Bergfeld (73
rushes, 345 yards, 10 scores)
is the top rusher, followed
by Tyler Jettinghoff (54 for
286, 3). Mark Boggs (33-
of-71 passing, 489 yards, 3
TDs, 6 picks) will look to
top target Tanner Calvelage
(21 grabs, 363 yards, 2).
Senior left tackle Alex Wehri
leads the linemen with 13
pancake blocks and fellow
senior Bryce Schulte has six.
Senior Alex Clark will pos-
sibly return after missing the
last 5 1/2 games due to an
injury.
The defense, giving up
12.9 points and 263.3 yards
per game, has top dogs in
Brent Schwinnen (40 solo
tackles, 29 assists), Kyle
Neumeier (25 and 34) and
Jettinghoff (33 and 16) the
three linebackers along
with Cody Looser (22 and
21), Logan Looser (17 and
25), Ryan Densel (24 and 12;
3 picks, 1 TD) and Calvelage
(4 picks).
Schulte hopes his
team can move on from
that tough loss to the
Cavaliers.
When we looked
at the film Saturday
morning, there were
a lot of what-ifs,
wouldves, couldves
and shouldves but
in the end, you try to
move on. We have to
learn from a game like that
and not dwell on the past but
move on and try to get bet-
ter, Schutle added.
Tribe coach Brent
Niekamp can commiserate
with that assessment.
We have had a couple
of games that went against
us that we felt we shouldve
won had a play or two gone
our way. Weve also had a
couple of games we couldve
lost but won because we made
those plays, Niekamp noted.
We played tough against
Versailles, for example, and
led them after three quarters
but ended up losing. Really,
it has been a year that when
we have not made the plays
we needed, the other team
had a player or players that
did; they made something
happen.
The one constant has
been how hard my guys have
played every game. That has
not been an issue.
Leading the Tribe offense
has been quarter-
back Jason Pottkotter
(1,400-plus yards
passing), leading rush-
er Kenny Wenning
and wideouts Vagedes
and Gaerke (both over
500 yards receiving).
On the defensive side
of the ball, Gaerke
has four picks and
Vagedes three.
When we see St. Johns
on video, we see the same
defense and a lot of fast kids
that run to the ball very well.
They are so well-coached,
they arent going to give
up the big play, Niekamp
added. Offensively, we see
the same attack with the run-
ning game.
We have to be the aggres-
sors this game. Offensively,
we have to be patient and
disciplined enough to con-
sistently move the football.
Defensively, we have to do
our best to take away their
strength, which is that run-
ning game.
Kickoff is at 7:30 p.m.
Jays try to get running game untracked vs. Tribe
Clark
Looser
Hank Williams Jr. has been associ-
ated with Monday Night Football for
two decades with his Are You Ready
for Some Football? theme song.
Its taken its place alongside Turn
Out The Lights, the Partys Over
crooning done by the late Dandy Don
Meredith and the late Howard Cosells
long-winded and generally irrelevent
rantings.
It will be very different not hearing
that during the leadup to the telecast.
There is a difference of opinion as to
the whether ESPN fired him or he quit
after his comparison of President Obama
playing golf with House Speaker John
Boehner to Adolf Hitler playing golf
with Benjamjin Netanyahu.
He claims that he was only using
this analogy to note the polar opposites
of these two men I try to give the
benefit of the doubt and take him at face
value in these situations until I am con-
vinced otherwise but that his words
were taken out of context and made to
sound much different than they were
intended.
That is very possible in this day
and age of political correctness run
amok, that is very likely.
At the same time, you cannot expect
that this WONT happen in this day and
age of heightened tensions amongst all
the political parties; with everything
thats going on around the world; with
an economy that doesnt really seem
to be getting better; with the Occupy
Wall Street crowd still doing its thing:
and so forth.
Even if what he says is true he
was only using this extreme to make
a valid point you have to know that
people in the media, Hollywood, etc.,
are going to come at you with fists
a-flying.
Just because you have a right to
say something because the Constitution
says so doesnt mean you have a right
not to expect ramifications.
I go back to that great American phi-
losopher, Peter Parker/The Spectacular
Spiderman, and his with great power
comes great responsibility.
Usually, people say we have a right
to so and so but they forget that respon-
sibility/duty comes with it; as the power
of the person increases, so does the
duty.
You can argue that ESPN could have
stood by him after all, this has been
a long-time association of trust that has
been built up and made the we dont
agree with this statement but we also
give the benefit of the doubt disclaimer
or words to that effect.
We have seen others making similar
statements about this or that politician
and yet not lose their jobs, so it does
invite a charge of double standard.
In this day and age, though, when the
stakes have never been higher, one can
hardly blame them for taking the action
they did.
Hank Williams Jr. aint gonna go
away, though. Hes a fighter he gets
it honestly and has paid his dues to get
where he is.
Well see who replaces him.
Well miss you, Hank Williams for now

used a feed from sophomore
Jessica Ramirez (Archbold) to
put Bluffton up 1-0 at the 10:46
mark with her team-best eighth
goal of the season.
A miscue by Grace Bible
allowed the visitors to take a 2-0
lead midway through the first
period.
Junior Maddie Moore (Linn
Grove, Ind./South Adams) made
the score 3-0 with her unassisted
tally less than five minutes into
the second stanza.
Eight minutes later, Moore
connected with sophomore
Megan Moreo (Spencerville/
Delphos Jefferson) for a 4-0
lead.
With just under 14 min-
utes to play, freshman Danielle
McQuillin (Delta/Pike-Delta-
York) found senior Monique
Devol (Lancaster/Bloom
Carroll) for her first goal of the
season before McQuillin capped
the scoring with a goal of her
own at the 83:56 mark.
Everybody got into the action
as Bluffton blasted its way to a
71-0 advantage in shots, includ-
ing 41 on frame. The Beavers
finished with three more fouls
(5-2) and a 6-0 advantage in cor-
ner kicks. Blufftons sixth shut-
out equaled the school record for
most blankings in a season with
five matches to play.
McQuillin paced Bluffton
with 10 shots, six on frame.
Moore and freshman Kayleen
Meardith (Kinsman/Badger)
both fired eight shots (four on
goal), while Fultz and Elizabeth
Webb (Ashland) chipped in
with six and five, respectively.
Kourtney Lewis (Arlington/
Riverdale), Moreo and Katie
Reid (Midlothian, Va./
Manchester) all added five shots
to the Bluffton attack.
Bluffton moves back into
Heartland Conference action
with a crucial match at Franklin
College under the lights on
Saturday. The womens match
is slated for 8 p.m. follow-
ing the mens contest with the
Grizzlies.

Bluffton men pick up second
consecutive win at Grace Bible
College
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. -
The Bluffton University mens
soccer team stayed on the win-
ning side of the ledger with a
2-0 Wednesday shutout at Grace
Bible College.
The Beavers upped their sea-
son mark to 2-11, while Grace
slipped to 6-6 overall.
Bluffton needed less than 12
minutes to find the back of the
net when Andrew Shroll (Van
Buren) gave the Beavers a quick
1-0 lead. That would be the
score when the teams went to
the break after 45 minutes of
action.
Senior Seth Hertenstein (St.
Marys/Memorial) tallied his first
goal of the season 10 minutes into
period two as the visitors stayed
hot for their second straight
victory. Nate Byrum (London)
hooked up with Hertenstein for
his second assist this year.
Bluffton fired 19 shots, 11
more than the home team. The
Beavers committed one more
foul (15-14) while piling up a
12-1 advantage in corner kicks.
Senior keeper Dan Saville
(Toledo/Central Catholic) picked
up three saves while freshman
Jorge Becerril (Sturgis, Mich.)
came up with two saves. Jared
Minderman (Cincinnati/Lakota
West) came off the bench
and led the visitors with five
shots, including three on frame.
Hertenstein and Byrum both
added four shots, while Shroll
chipped in with three attempts,
all of which were on goal.
The Beavers return to action
when they travel to Franklin
College on Saturday. The mens
contest is slated for 6 p.m. under
the lights.

DCs Sierra lands
on D3football.com
Team of the Week
MINNEAPOLIS Just two
days after being tabbed as the
Heartland Collegiate Athletic
Conference Special Teams
Player of the Week, Defiance
Colleges Tony Sierra has been
named to the D3football.com
Team of the Week for the third
time in his career.
Sierra ran back the first punt
of the day 84 yards for a 7-0
lead for the Jackets just min-
utes into Saturdays contest.
The touchdown return set a new
Defiance College record for the
longest punt return in program
history and propelled the Purple
and Gold to a 23-13 victory at
Mount St. Joseph.
The Warren, Mich., native
also added four tackles, one hit
for lost yardage and one pass
breakup from his strong safety
position, while averaging 48.5
yards per punt return in the win.
Sierra is averaging 20.2 yards
per punt return this season and
ranks eighth in the nation in that
category.
Sierra and the Jackets (1-4,
1-2 HCAC) will host Earlham
(0-6, 0-4 HCAC) on Saturday
for a 1:30 p.m. start inside of
Justin F. Coressel Stadium.
The Defiance College athlet-
ics program will host the final of
three Pink Out events during
the game.
The event is designed to raise
money and awareness for the
fight against breast cancer. All

Defiance shuts out Spartans
to even HCAC record
NORTH MANCHESTER,
Ind. The Yellow Jackets
mens soccer team used a stel-
lar defensive performance to
defeat Heartland Collegiate
Athletic Conference opponent
Manchester College by a score
of 2-0 on Wednesday afternoon.
Coming off a key HCAC
victory on Saturday, DC was
determined to keep the positive
momentum going as it traveled
to Manchester College.
The first half began with
neither team finding a rhythm
offensively but just before the
halftime whistle, senior Joe
Loftis came up with his team-
leading fifth goal of the season
to put the Jackets in front 1-0.
Assisting on the play was fellow
senior Kevin Elson.
The goal gave Defiance the
lead going into the break despite
being outshot by the Spartans
7-3.
After the half, the Purple and
Gold dug in defensively and
stifled Manchesters attack. The
Jackets defense only allowed
the Spartans to muster one shot
in the entire second half.
In the 87th minute, sopho-
more forward Jaiden Henderson
put the match on ice when he
scored his fourth goal on the
year and gave DC a 2-0 advan-
tage with only minutes remain-
ing.
The win raises Defiances
conference record to 2-2 and
its overall record to 4-8-1. The
Yellow Jackets have now won
their last two matches and three
of its last four. This was DCs
second shutout victory of the
season.
The Jackets are next in action
on Saturday at 3 p.m. When they
host HCAC foe Transylvania
University.

AGRIBUSINESS
Home invaders of
the autumn months
BY GLEN ARNOLD,
Ag educator,
OSU-Extension,
Putnam County

Large populations of bee-
tles are flying around our
homes as soybeans ripen
and harvest begins. The two
beetle species that are most
notable and have become
the biggest nuisance this fall
are the bean leaf beetle and
the multicolored Asian lady
beetle. Because these pests
rarely damage anything in
the home, they generally are
considered to be nuisance
pests.
The bean leaf beetles are
a soybean pest that overwin-
ters as an adult beneath leaf
litter in wood lots adjacent
to soybean fields. The adult
bean leaf beetle is pest that
is at least 1/4-inch in length
that can be red, orange, tan
or gray in color. The dot and
stripe markings may vary
among individuals or popu-
lations; however, all adults
possess a black triangle at
the base of their forewings.
These adults will feed on
soybean or other host plants
before moving into over-
wintering sites sometime in
October. They are attracted
to the sun-light reflecting
off a house but generally
are more of an outside nui-
sance.
The multicolored Asian
lady beetle is considered
beneficial because both the
growing stage larvae and the
adult beetles eat aphids and
other soft-bodied insects.
The name multicolored
refers to the many different
color forms of the adult lady
beetles. The various color
forms found in the United
States include shades of yel-
low, orange, or red, either
with or without black spots
on the wing covers.
The adult multicolored
Asian lady beetle is about
one-quarter inch long and
oval shaped, about two-thirds
as wide as it is long. Some
have 19 black spots while
others have faded spots that
vary in number and size. In
addition, markings on the
white pronotum, the small
area between the head and
the wing covers, resemble
a large, black capital M
when viewed from the rear of
the insect.
As autumn approaches,
the adult multicolored Asian
lady beetles leave their sum-
mer feeding sites in soy-
bean fields for protected
places to spend the winter.
Unfortunately, homes and
buildings are one such loca-
tion. The multicolored Asian
lady beetle becomes a nui-
sance factor during October
when they defy all our efforts
to keep them outside and off
our walls, curtains, and light
fixtures.
The beetles do not harm
humans or pets but are a
nuisance by their presence
inside the home or when
these lady beetles defend
themselves by emitting a
yellow-orange body fluid,
which has a foul odor and
can permanently stain walls,
drapes, carpeting, and cloth-
ing. Although an uncommon
occurrence, multicolored
Asian lady beetles have been
reported to nibble, nip, or
bite humans.
If you are not a lover of all
things with jointed legs scur-
rying about your home there
are several steps to take. The
first is to search out the point
of entry. Even a small crack
in a door, a split in a founda-
tion, or a hole in a wall less
than an eighth of an inch can
allow insects to enter. Seal all
entry points to prevent any-
thing from crawling in. With
a home, especially an older
country home, it is nearly
impossible to find and seal
every opening.

the Asian lady beetle and how
to keep it from your home visit

Rangers 7, Tigers 3
DETROIT Nelson Cruz
made the throw. Mike Napoli
endured the collision.
Then this Texas tag team put
the game away with their bats.
Cruz made a rocket throw
to Napoli at the plate to keep
the score tied, then hit a crush-
ing 3-run homer in the 11th
inning off Jose Valverde that
helped send the Rangers over the
Detroit Tigers 7-3 Wednesday
night for a 3-1 lead in the AL
championship series.
Napoli put Texas ahead with
an RBI single earlier in the 11th
and Cruz whose grand slam
in the 11th inning won Game
2 once again starred for the
Rangers in a game delayed at
the start for more than two hours
by rain.
With Detroit runners at the
corners in the eighth and the
score 3-all, Cruz caught Delmon
Youngs fly ball to right field and
made a strong peg to Napoli to
nail Miguel Cabrera. The Detroit
slugger bowled over Napoli but
the catcher held on to the ball
and Cabrera never touched the
plate.
Texas tries for its second
consecutive AL pennant today,
sending C.J. Wilson to the
mound to face Detroit ace Justin
Verlander.
Napoli blooped a go-ahead
single in the 11th and Cruz soon
added his fourth home run of the
ALCS. Cruz became the first
player in major-league history to
hit a pair of extra-inning homers
in the same postseason series.
Brandon Inge hit a solo home
run in the Detroit seventh that
tied it. The Tigers wasted a ter-
rific chance an inning later fol-
lowing some risky Texas strat-
egy.
With one out and nobody on,
the Rangers intentionally walked
Cabrera, practically daring the
rest of the struggling Detroit
lineup to beat them. The AL
batting champion had hit a 2-run
double earlier in the game.
Victor Martinez, who hurt his
rib cage on a home run swing in
Game 3, followed with a single
to right and Cabrera lumbered
around to third.
Young, another Tigers starter
who has been banged up lately,
managed to lift the ball to medi-
um right. Cruz caught it and
made a perfect, one-hop throw
to the plate that beat Cabrera by
several feet.
Austin Jackson was hit by a
pitch with one out in the 10th
but Napoli threw him out trying
to steal second; reliever Scott
Feldman made it through the
inning without further trouble.
The out on the bases may have
cost Cabrera a chance to bat with
a runner on. He was on deck
when the inning ended.
Feldman got the win and
Texas closer Neftali Feliz
worked the 11th.
Cruz tried to contribute with
his legs, too. He was on first
base with two outs in the ninth
and tried to steal second while
Tigers reliever Joaquin Benoit
was holding the ball. The pitcher
stepped and threw to second to
retire Cruz.
Valverde had already pitched
a perfect 10th but he couldnt
hold off Texas for another
inning. Cruz was mobbed by
teammates at the Texas dug-
out after his homer and Detroit
fans began heading for the exits.
Some of those that remained
began applauding Valverde, who
hasnt blown a save all year but
was unable to keep this game
going for another inning.
The teams waited through a
rain delay of 2 hours, 13 minutes
before the first pitch. The game
was supposed to begin at 4:19
p.m. EDT but the rain didnt let
up until around 5:30. Fans then
began filling the seats closest to
the field and, about 20 minutes
later, the grounds crew came out
to remove the tarp.
A misty rain began falling
again around the end of the sec-
ond inning and umbrellas started
popping up all over the ballpark.
Water would kick up as the ball
hopped along the grass but the
rain wasnt a factor in the late
innings.
Cabrera hit his 2-run double
in the third but Texas scored
three times in the sixth.
Inge tied it with a stunning
homer off Alexi Ogando in the
seventh. The Detroit third base-
man hit .170 against right-hand-
ers during the regular season
with no homers in 171 at-bats
but lifted a high drive to left field
that seemed to stay in the air for-
ever before clearing the fence to
make it 3-all.
Rangers relievers allowed
only one run in 15 innings
through the first three games of
the ALCS and they allowed
only one in Game 4.
Detroits Rick Porcello
allowed three runs two earned
and eight hits in 6 2/3 innings.
He struck out six with no walks.
Matt Harrison allowed two
runs and three hits in five innings
for Texas.
Cardinals 4, Brewers 3.
ST. LOUIS Chris
Carpenter matched a franchise
record set by Bob Gibson with a
most un-Gibson-like outing.
Far from his best, the
Cardinals ace lasted just five
innings in a 4-3 victory over
the Milwaukee Brewers on
Wednesday night that gave St.
Louis a 2-1 edge in the NL
championship series.
The bullpen that got no work
in Carpenters division-series
clinching win over Roy Halladay
and the Philadelphia Phillies
came up aces with four relievers
retiring the last 12 Milwaukee
batters in order.
Albert Pujols had one of three
RBI doubles during a 4-run first
inning against Yovani Gallardo
for the wild-card Cardinals, who
suddenly are front-runners
and against the team that put
them away early en route to the
NL Central title.
All thanks to unsung
Fernando Salas, Lance Lynn,
Marc Rzepczynski and Jason
Motte, who struck out three of
the four batters he faced for the
save.
The Brewers set a franchise
record with 96 victories and took
the Central lead for good on July
27. Now, theyve got to come
from behind.
Yuniesky Betancourts infield
single with one out in the fourth
was the last of the Brewers six
hits. The rest of the way they had
only two baserunners.
The Brewers have lost eight
in a row on the road in the post-
season, a stretch that extends to
Game 1 of the 1982 World Series
in St. Louis on a shutout by Mike
Caldwell. Its the longest current
streak in the majors.
The matchup of star pitchers
fizzled, with both starters done
after five innings. Gallardo tied
an NLCS record with three wild
pitches, while Carpenter surren-
dered all but one run of a 4-run
cushion.
The game was played in a
steady drizzle.
Kyle Lohse, pitching on 12
days rest, starts Game 4 today
for Cardinals against Randy
Wolf.
Motte had two saves last-
ing more than an inning in
September and another in Game
2 of the division series against
the Phillies. Salas worked the
sixth, Lynn also got four outs
and Rzepzcynski struck out
Fielder in the eighth.
The Cardinals scored in the
first inning for the fifth straight
game and batted around against
Gallardo. Pujols delivered an
RBI double and then singled in
the second to give him six hits in
seven at-bats.
St. Louis had its chances to
break away later but hit into
three double plays and stranded
nine runners.
Mark Kotsay started ahead
of slumping Nyjer Morgan
and homered for the Brewers.
Betancourt had two singles and
an RBI and Gallardo, a .221 hit-
ter with a homer and four RBIs,
had a sacrifice fly in the second.
Jon Jay and David Freese
added RBI doubles in the first
for St. Louis, which was 3-for-4
with runners in scoring position
to start the game but 0-for-7 the
rest of the way.
Gallardo, whos 1-7 with
a 5.66 career mark against the
Cardinals, trailed 2-0 after his
first 12 pitches and barely made
it out of the first trailing 4-0.
The right-hander walked three,
one of them intentional, and the
Brewers had Chris Narveson
up in the bullpen before Yadier
Molina grounded into a double
play, scoring the fourth run, for
his first outs.

DEAR DOCTOR K: I know
I should drink plenty of water
every day, but sometimes I get
tired of drinking plain water.
So I reach for club soda, seltzer
water or sparkling mineral water.
But Ive heard that
carbonated drinks
could be bad for
my bones. Is this
true?
D E A R
READER: Several
of my patients
have asked the
same question.
S o m e t i m e s
they are not
asking about
carbonated water,
but carbonated
beverages that contain caffeine
(like colas) and sugar or
sweetener. Ill tell you what I
tell them.
There is a theory that
phosphoric acid (phosphate),
found in some carbonated
beverages, can interfere with
calcium absorption. But theres
no good evidence that consuming
a lot of phosphate affects bone
metabolism or bone density.
Researchers have looked at the
effect of carbonated beverages
on bone health in adults. One
study found that non-cola
carbonated drinks (like the
carbonated water drinks you
asked about) were not associated
with low bone density.
Another study compared
two groups of healthy
postmenopausal women. Both
groups drank one quart of either
carbonated or non-carbonated
mineral water per day. After eight
weeks, there was no difference
in bone turnover between the
two groups. So I dont put
much stock in the theory that
carbonated water weakens your
bones.
On the other hand, in the
same study I just talked about,
women who drank cola had
lower hip bone density. The
more cola a woman drank, the
lower her bone mineral density
(BMD). Some scientists suspect
that the caffeine in cola may
have a harmful effect on BMD,
but theres no proof of that.
So the good news is that
drinking carbonated water
doesnt appear to be bad for
your bones. On the other hand,
dont overdo the caffeinated
beverages, carbonated or not.
And make sure that carbonated
water isnt taking the place of
other healthy beverages in your
diet, such as calcium-rich, low-
fat milk.
Finally, in talking about
the carbonation in carbonated
beverages, lets not forget about
the real culprit that makes some
types of carbonated beverages
unhealthy: sugar.
A few years ago a patient of
mine asked me if the carbonation
in the 10 cans of cola she drank
a day was bad for her bones. I
told her that the carbonation in
colas might be a problem for her
bones, but that was the least of
her problems with colas. The
sugar in all those colas was a
definite problem for her whole
body. The weight gain associated
with sugary sodas puts a big
strain on the heart, blood vessels
and joints.
So my advice is to feel
free to enjoy carbonated water
without worrying. However, I
reserve the right to change my
mind, when and if new evidence
emerges. And if it does, Ill let
you know.

DEAR DOCTOR K: I know
I should drink plenty of water
every day, but sometimes I get
tired of drinking plain water.
So I reach for club soda, seltzer
water or sparkling mineral water.
But Ive heard that
carbonated drinks
could be bad for
my bones. Is this
true?
D E A R
READER: Several
of my patients
have asked the
same question.
S o m e t i m e s
they are not
asking about
carbonated water,
but carbonated
beverages that contain caffeine
(like colas) and sugar or
sweetener. Ill tell you what I
tell them.
There is a theory that
phosphoric acid (phosphate),
found in some carbonated
beverages, can interfere with
calcium absorption. But theres
no good evidence that consuming
a lot of phosphate affects bone
metabolism or bone density.
Researchers have looked at the
effect of carbonated beverages
on bone health in adults. One
study found that non-cola
carbonated drinks (like the
carbonated water drinks you
asked about) were not associated
with low bone density.
Another study compared
two groups of healthy
postmenopausal women. Both
groups drank one quart of either
carbonated or non-carbonated
mineral water per day. After eight
weeks, there was no difference
in bone turnover between the
two groups. So I dont put
much stock in the theory that
carbonated water weakens your
bones.
On the other hand, in the
same study I just talked about,
women who drank cola had
lower hip bone density. The
more cola a woman drank, the
lower her bone mineral density
(BMD). Some scientists suspect
that the caffeine in cola may
have a harmful effect on BMD,
but theres no proof of that.
So the good news is that
drinking carbonated water
doesnt appear to be bad for
your bones. On the other hand,
dont overdo the caffeinated
beverages, carbonated or not.
And make sure that carbonated
water isnt taking the place of
other healthy beverages in your
diet, such as calcium-rich, low-
fat milk.
Finally, in talking about
the carbonation in carbonated
beverages, lets not forget about
the real culprit that makes some
types of carbonated beverages
unhealthy: sugar.
A few years ago a patient of
mine asked me if the carbonation
in the 10 cans of cola she drank
a day was bad for her bones. I
told her that the carbonation in
colas might be a problem for her
bones, but that was the least of
her problems with colas. The
sugar in all those colas was a
definite problem for her whole
body. The weight gain associated
with sugary sodas puts a big
strain on the heart, blood vessels
and joints.
So my advice is to feel
free to enjoy carbonated water
without worrying. However, I
reserve the right to change my
mind, when and if new evidence
emerges. And if it does, Ill let
you know.

Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol
Feuds can be
their own beast
Dear Annie: Two of my
married children have been
in a feud for more than three
years. It started with com-
ments made about one of
their children and has accel-
erated to the point where one
wont attend a family func-
tion if the other is there. Now
it is spreading to my other
children, who refuse to be in
the same room with feuding
people. It breaks my heart.
My husband and I arranged
a family dinner where we
suggested every-
one simply forgive
each other, but it
didnt work. We
have written let-
ters and talked to
our children indi-
vidually. We even
postponed our
family reunion
because so many
of them werent
going to attend
and I couldnt
handle it myself.
I do not know what to
do and would appreciate any
suggestions. -- Nameless
Dear Nameless: What a
shame that your children
cannot appreciate their sib-
ling relationships enough to
put this aside. Unfortunately,
such feuds can take on a life
of their own, making rec-
onciliation harder as time
passes. Everyone loses.
Ask if any of the children
would agree to seek family
counseling with you. Those
who are willing could ben-
efit, and it will help you
develop better coping skills.
Continue to see your chil-
dren individually, and occa-
sionally remind them of the
good times they had togeth-
er when they were younger.
Regretfully, there is only so
much you can do in such a
situation.
Dear Annie: A few years
back, my father, Peter, died
after a long and awful illness.
Within a year of his death,
my best friend decided to
adopt a dog. She told me she
was naming the dog after a
character in one of her favor-
ite TV shows, Peter.
I was surprised by her
choice, especially since its
not a common name for a pet.
It apparently didnt occur to
her that it might make me
uncomfortable. At the time,
I didnt say anything, fearing
it would seem self-involved
and overly sensitive of me.
However, when my mother
heard about the dogs name,
she was quite offended. My
brother was also not happy
about a dog sharing a name
with a beloved family mem-
ber so soon after his death.
I find that I still resent my
friends choice. Too much
time has passed for me to say
anything now, but I am won-
dering whether we are right to
be unhappy about this. Was it
inappropriate for my friend to
give her dog the same name
as my recently deceased
father? Or is this OK since
she claims to be naming it
after a completely different
person? -- Confused
Dear Confused: Did your
friend address your father by
his first name? If not, the con-
nection may not have been as
obvious to her as it was to
you. Or you could choose to
believe that she was trying
to honor your dad. And of
course, its equally possible
that she is simply obtuse and
insensitive. People can name
their pets what they wish,
and you cant help
how you feel about
it. However, since
this still bothers
you after so many
years, you may as
well mention how
much it upset you.
We suspect she
hasnt a clue.
Dear Annie:
This is for
Lonesome, the
woman who joins
groups and does
volunteer work, but doesnt
find any lasting friendships.
It may not be her.
I have joined my share of
groups and have found that
many people simply are liv-
ing in their own little world
comprised of their family and
immediate circle of friends.
They feel no desire to add
anyone else.
It can be hard to make
friends with people whose
lives are often filled with
long commutes and work
hours, day care, after-school
activities, caring for aging
family members, etc. All you
can do is keep trying. Things
are not the way they used to
be 20 years ago. -- Not in My
Own Little World

FRIDAY, OCT. 14, 2011
Both a little bit of chance and a
lot of Lady Luck
are likely to play
prominent roles in
your personal affairs
during coming
months. Although
both factors will
make your life easier, one particular
event will be especially outstanding.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) --
Dont waste your time dealing with
a subordinate instead of the head
honcho, because you must know
youre not going to get anywhere. Go
directly to the head of the class.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) --
Once you have thought an important
decision through, act in accordance
with the way you have reasoned
things out. Dont yield to an impulsive
reaction.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec.
21) -- An imaginative product of your
ingenuity may actually have profitable
possibilities. If you follow your plans,
you have a chance for good results.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
-- Two separate situations in which
youre involved might have a chance
of fusing together very nicely. Itll be
to your advantage to tie them together
to see what you can do.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)
-- Both your instincts and logic will
be operating at full force, so see if you
can link them together in order to more
greatly enhance your possibilities for
success.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20)
-- There is a strong possibility that a
chance remark made by someone who
works in a place where big things are
happening will put you onto something
substantial. Keep your ears open.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) --
If youre doing reasonably well with
your work and seem to be on a roll,
dont be too eager to call it a day. Get
things done while everything is going
your way.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) --
Dont count your social involvements
as wasted hours. You need some
interaction with fun people as a break
from the harshness of the working
world. Make time for them, because
theyll lift your spirits.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
-- Play it cool for best results. Dont
disclose the hand youre holding until
your counterpart reveals his or hers.
Chances are youll be the one who is
holding a trump.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- It
might fall to you to mediate a sticky
situation between two close friends.
Dont back off from this unwanted
responsibility if you know you can
resolve things.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Dont
delay going after an important
objective if you believe the favorable
conditions youre now experiencing
may only be temporary. Strike while
the iron is smoking.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- If
you think you have a solution that
would resolve a misunderstanding
between two close friends, speak up.
Its important you do so while both
parties are in a forgiving mood.
