preparing for an influx of customers, though they dont know just how many. Tiffany Semmler, a manager at Minervas Restaurant, a few blocks from the site of the funeral, is bracing for a busy Friday. You never know if people are coming from out of town and going directly to the funeral, we might not get an excessively busy lunch. If they decide to go directly home after the funeral, we wont get a big push after the funeral, she said, noting that the restaurant is planning to schedule an additional server and cook. If everyone stays in town and isnt going back to work on Friday, we could get hit really hard, she said. At least one hotel is offering a discount for those attending the funeral of McGovern, who was born in Avon and grew up in Mitchell. The executive director of the Sioux Falls Regional Airport bets most out-oftowners will be driving. Pheasant hunting season opened last weekend, said Dan Letellier, and the airports 23 daily flights today and Friday are already booked. Any national figure or business leaders from other parts of the country may very well end up chartering flights or corporate jets, he said.
POLICE REPORTS
At 4:51 p.m. on Tuesday, Delphos Police were called to the 200 block of West Clime Street in reference to a burglary complaint at a residence in that area. Upon officers arrival, the victim stated someone had gained entry into the residence through a window and had taken some prescription medications from inside.
At 4:38 a.m. on Monday, Delphos Police were called to the 400 block of Suthoff Street in reference to a criminal damaging complaint at a residence in that area. Upon officers arrival, the victim stated someone had thrown an object through a window of the residence causing damage.
The Delphos Rotary had the pleasure of hosting approximately 150 high school seniors for the 15th annual Delphos Historical Walking Tour and Scavenger Hunt. It was our 1st year with heavy rain and the need for our ponchos for the walkers. The Rotary Walking Tour could not have taken place without additional help from the Delphos community. The schools Jefferson, Vantage and St. Johns made it possible. The Delphos Canal Commission supplied the historical information and made their museum available for the seniors to tour, as did the Delphos Postal Museum. Community residents and teachers who served as historical tour guides were: Lou Hohman, Doris Dickman, Bob Ebbeskotte, Dan Jones, Judy Fisher, Charles Rohrbacher, Teresa Bradstock, Jay Winhover, Ed Ulrich, the Rev. Harry Tolhurst, Jerry Gilden and Mike Miller. In addition to our guides, we had approximately 35 people who volunteered at various locations throughout the day and a number of teachers and volunteers who walked with the students. Rotary provided the students with breakfast at Jefferson High School cafeteria before the tour started. Our guest presenters for the morning program at Jefferson High School were: Mayor Michael Gallmeier, ODNR/Water Division Retired Steve Dorsten and Neal Brady of MECCA. The police and fire departments allowed us to tour the old city building. Several businesses made their buildings available, allowing the seniors to see that the older buildings in Delphos can be restored to be attractive and useful today. One popular stop along our tour as always was the Old Capitol Theatre inside the Westrich and Coins, Currency, and Collectibles buildings. Other stops were John Lehmkuhles old speakeasy on North Main Street and the Bill and Jill Graves New York Style loft apartment. Lunch was provided by the VFW and the VFW Auxiliary. The students were greeted at the VFW by the Color Guard. We would like to thank everyone who helped with the walking tour. We feel it is truly a community event. JoAn M. Smith, Rotary Walking Tour chairman

By The Associated Press Today is Thursday, Oct. 25, the 299th day of 2012. There are 67 days left in the year. Todays Highlight in History: On Oct. 25, 1962, in a dramatic confrontation before the U.N. Security Council, U.S. Ambassador Adlai E. Stevenson II demanded that Soviet Ambassador Valerian Zorin confirm or deny the existence of Soviet-built missile bases in Cuba; when Zorin declined to respond, Stevenson said he was prepared to wait until hell freezes over for an answer. Stevenson then presented photographic evidence of the bases to the Council. On this date: In 1760, Britains King George III succeeded his late grandfather, George II. In 1812, the frigate USS United States, commanded by Stephen Decatur, captured the British vessel HMS Macedonian during the War of 1812. In 1854, the Charge of the Light Brigade took place during the Crimean War as an English brigade of more than 600 men charged the Russian army, suffering heavy losses. In 1912, the song My Melancholy Baby by Ernie Burnett and George Norton was first published under the title Melancholy. Country comedian Minnie Pearl was born Sarah Ophelia Colley in Centerville, Tenn. In 1929, former Interior Secretary Albert B. Fall was convicted in Washington, D.C., of accepting a $100,000 bribe from oil tycoon Edward L. Doheny. (Fall was sentenced to a year in prison and fined $100,000; he ended up serving nine months.) In 1939, the play The Time of Your Life, by William Saroyan, opened in New York.

STATE/LOCAL
LORDSTOWN (AP) President Barack Obamas decision to help Americas automakers could end up being what helps drive him back into the White House. Some 850,000 jobs in this critical battleground state are tied to autos and Obamas campaign constantly reminds voters theyd be jobless if not for the decision to inject taxpayer dollars into General Motors and Chrysler. However, the move has not translated into automatic support for the president, even in areas that depend on the industry. Republican Mitt Romney also is pitching these voters hard with his message that Obama hasnt balanced Washingtons checkbook the same way voters must. One in eight jobs in Ohio can be linked to the auto industry whether its working on a factory floor or selling groceries to plant workers. The presidential races outcome could boil down to whether voters interpret Obamas move as saving Detroit or bailing it out. But like other flashpoints in this rough campaign, there is little middle ground between the versions of events and what it means for voters neighbors. I couldnt imagine what Lordstown would be, said Brian Axiotis, a 37-year-old Obama supporter who works in information technology and lives in nearby Newton Falls. A lot of folks would lose their houses. Consider the mess that would have resulted. Itd be a ghost town all over the area. Since its restructuring, the General Motors plant in this town of 4,000 people southeast of Cleveland has added a third shift and 1,200 new workers with it to produce the popular compact Chevy Cruze. GM has pledged $220 million in updates to the factory and to keep the 4,500 workers, suggesting this town in the former steel-heavy Mahoning Valley has some stability ahead.
E - The Environmental Magazine Dear EarthTalk: How eco-friendly are professional sports leagues and their teams? Which stand out especially for their green efforts? Al Simpson, Medina, OH Professional sports, like many other pursuits, are getting greener every day. While pro leagues and teams have traditionally been the last to go green, it has all changed in recent years. Maybe its the fact that wasting less saves money. Or that going green generates good public relations. Or that its just the right thing to do. Whether its any or all-of-the-above, professional sports certainly have never been greener. The Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), a leading environmental nonprofit, has worked with several sports teams and leagues to green their operations, and has bundled a collection of case studies into a recently released report, Game Changer: How the Sports Industry is Saving the Environment. One example is how baseballs San Francisco Giants have so far saved 171,000 kilowatt hours of energy at its stadium, AT+T Park, through a series of lighting retrofits. Another is the building of a 3-megawatt photovoltaic solar array at NASCARs Pocono Raceway, which offsets 3,100 metric tons of CO2 each year and provides enough power to operate the raceway and 1,000 nearby homes.
Still another is basketballs Minnesota Timberwolves construction of a 2.5 acre green roof that prevents annually a million gallons of storm water from spilling into the Mississippi River from atop their Minneapolis arena. NRDC hopes its report can help educate sports professionals, their suppliers and the millions of fans that patronize the teams and their venues about the business case for greening, from achieving cost savings and enhancing brands to developing new sponsorship opportunities and strengthening community ties. To further these goals, NRDC, along with Paul Allens Vulcan Inc., launched the Green Sports Alliance in 2010, bringing together venue operators, team executives and scientists to exchange information and develop solutions to their environmental challenges. The findings gathered are made available to Alliance members so that they can better understand how sporting events can be performed in an environmentally sensitive manner. Alliance members represent more than 100 teams and venues from 13 different leagues. For teams that want to go green but dont know where to start, NRDC created a Greening Advisor program, featuring sustainability tips and green inspiration. Teams from each of North Americas major sports leagues can find treasure troves of information at the intersection of saving money and the planet. NRDC calls the greening of pro sports a cultural
shift of historic proportions and delights in the fact that North Americas professional leagues, teams and venues have collectively saved millions of dollars by shifting to more efficient, healthy and ecologically intelligent operations. At the same time, the sports greening movement has brought important environmental messages to millions of fans worldwide, says NRDC. Sport is a great unifier, transcending political, cultural, religious and socioeconomic barriers. It also wields a uniquely powerful influence [and] in so doing, promotes a non-political public commitment to environmental protection.

WASHINGTON (AP) Two hours after the U.S. Consulate came under attack in Benghazi, Libya, the White House was told that a militant group was claiming responsibility for the violence that killed the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans. A State Department email sent to intelligence officials and the White House situation room said the Islamist group Ansar al-Sharia claimed responsibility on Facebook and Twitter, and also called for an attack on the U.S. Embassy in Tripoli. The document may fuel Republican efforts to show that the White House knew it was a terrorist attack, even as the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations was saying five days afterward that it appeared to be a protest gone awry. The Obama administrations account of the Benghazi events has become a campaign issue, with Republican challenger Mitt Romney and GOP lawmakers accusing the White House of misleading Americans about the nature of the attack. But militant groups often surface after such attacks claiming responsibility and its difficult to immediately verify such claims. The Associated Press and other news organizations obtained the unclassified email and two related emails from government officials who requested anonymity because they were not authorized to speak about them publicly. The House and Senate committees that oversee intelligence received a raft of documents from the Office of Director of National Intelligence on Monday, two congressional aides said. Congressional staffers combing through the documents have found a kaleidoscope of sometimes conflicting intelligence, backing up much of what intelligence officials explained over the past several weeks. But members of both committees are still complaining that the original briefing they were given just after the Tuesday, Sept. 11 attack, differed markedly from the explanation the CIA director David Petraeus gave them by the end of that week. In that first briefing, just 12 hours after consulate was burned down, the intelligence committees received a report that it was a military style assault, but just days later, Petraeus stressed that militants had infiltrated a mob, a U.S. official said. U.S. intelligence officials have said Petraeus outlined that extremists were believed to be in the crowd, and carried out the attack, and also stressed the picture was still evolving. A U.S. intelligence official said Wednesday that it was clear from the outset that a group of people gathered that evening but that it took until the week after the attack to determine whether extremists took over a crowd or if the guys who showed up were all militants. The official said the briefing included the analysis that the attacks that appeared spontaneous, but also mentioned possible links to regional al-Qaida groups.
Richard Florida, an American urban theorist and professor at the University of Torontos Rotman School of Management, called the mobility gain an important sign the U.S. economy is getting back on track. Young people are moving out of their parents basements and sampling places and sampling careers again, he said. After living at home for a while, young people have kind of maxed it out. They are heading to bigger, vibrant cities, predominantly, because theyre looking for economic opportunity and building their social networks. About 1.7 percent of the U.S. population moved across state lines to a new home in the 12-month period ending March 2012, up slightly from 1.6 percent in the previous year. The share of young adults ages 25-29 who moved to a new state was higher, about 3.8 percent. Thats up 3.4 percent in the previous year and the highest level since the height of the housing boom in 2005, when mobility was 5 percent. The 0.4 percentage point increase in 2012 is the biggest jump for young adults since 1999, when the rapid rise of Internet startups and the need for young workers during the dot-com bubble drove migration.
to understand that when we make cuts to our defense that the presidents own Secretary of Defense characterized as devastating, we project weakness abroad. I know the president hopes for a safer, freer and a more prosperous Middle East allied with the United States. I share this hope. But hope is not a strategy. We cannot protect the United States and support our friends when our words are not backed up by deeds when our defense spending is being arbitrarily and deeply cut, when we have no trade agenda to speak of, and the perception of our strategy is not one of partnership, but of passivity. And thats why the contrast before the American people in this election could not be more important. Mitt Romney will not weaken our nations defenses. He will reverse the presidents misguided cuts to our military. Instead of leading from behind, hell restore American leadership across the globe. And hell put America on a new course at a time when we cannot afford four more years of the same failed policies. Bob Latta (R-OH) represents the fifth congressional district. Republican Gov. Tommy Thompson, who faces Democratic Rep. Tammy Baldwin, called Mourdocks comments really sad. Ive got a wife and two daughters and six granddaughters, he said in an interview. Anything dealing with rape against women is uncalled for. Period. No tolerance whatsoever. Sen. John McCain, the 2008 GOP presidential nominee, told CNN that his continued support of Mourdock depends on what he does. The Arizona lawmaker who was the GOPs 2008 presidential nominee, said he wants to see if he apologizes and says he misspoke and he was wrong and asks people to forgive him. Its when you dont own up to it that people will not believe in you. Mourdocks debate comment recalled GOP Senate candidate Todd Akins remark in August about rape and pregnancy. The Missouri congressman said womens bodies have ways of preventing pregnancy in cases of legitimate rape. Republicans, led by Romney, called for Akin to abandon the race, but he refused and is pressing ahead against Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill.

Fort Jennings senior Macy Schroeder, middle, signs a national letter-of-intent to run track and field for Indiana Tech in Fort Wayne. With her are a pair of future teammates.
Photo submitted
her junior year and have seen her grow in the sport, Indiana Tech coach Doug Edgar noted. Macy competes in an area that doesnt give her great competition week in and week out and we feel being part of our sprint squad is going to help her maximize her talent. Allowing her to train with our All-American 4x100 and 4x400 groups should provide the training needed to take her abilities to the next level. She has a great work ethic both on the track and in the classroom and we are excited that she chose to be a Warrior! Macy is looking at paralegal and pre-law as potential majors at Indiana Tech. Trevor Stanley (Ft. Wayne, IN/Homestead) and Wayne Sherbahn (Madison, IN/ Madison Consolidated) have also signed. For more information on Indiana Tech athletics, please call the Athletic Office at 260422-5561, ext. 2262 or visit our website at http://www. indianatech.edu/athletics

OTTOVILLE Fort Jennings and Kalida have played many a tough girls soccer match over the years and there hasnt been much to separate them. The two combatants met up Wednesday night in Ottovilles Division III District semifinal at Ottoville Soccer Stadium for another hard-fought affair. It came down to one goal similar to Kalidas 1-0 regularseason victory in Fort Jennings and with 3-time PCL Player of the Year Summer Holtkamp on the bench due to an injury suffered late in the second half, it came from LadyCat sophomore Jackie Gardner with 5:28 left for that matchwinning tally. Kalida (17-0-1) advances to battle Coldwater at 2 p.m. Saturday in the Bath District final. The LadyCats had controlled the orb most of the way from the get-go, outshooting the Musketeers (132-3) 9-2, but had nothing to show for it. Holtkamp and Gardner were thorns in the Lady Musketeer side most of the way but their chances were either wide of the mark, deflected off defenders in front of the net or nabbed by Jennings senior keeper Gabbie German (8 saves). On the other end, the Kalida defense locked down Musketeer senior star Macy Schroeder and the rest, leav-
ing junior netminder Sarah Verhoff very few times to make saves (2). The Musketeers had their first shot on-goal at 21:40 of the second half as senior Kristen Maag fired from 12 yards but it deflected off a defender and into Verhoffs arms. The best chance for Kalida in the second half before the goal came at the 20:06 mark when Gardner fired from 25 yards but hit the crossbar; it rebounded to Holtkamp in front of the net but her follow shot was just over the top. With the match intensity heating up with the partisans for both teams along for the ride it looked like this match was meant for overtime. The Lady Musketeers had another chance at 15:41 when Schroeder got a 25-yard free kick that sailed just over the top. At 13:38, Holtkamp rolled her leg over the ball and the injury took the collective breath out of the large crowd watching the match. She slowly was helped from the pitch. However, that seemed to energize the LadyCats. The girls could have gone oh no when Summer went down but if anything, they picked up the intensity. They didnt want it to end for her because she has meant so much to this team for four years, Kalida coach Dave Kehres said. We also wanted to show we were not a 1-girl team; we have 22 others that

Ohio State is planning its football schedules into the future. A couple of days ago, Athletics Director Gene Smith announced the Buckeyes will play a home-and-home series with Oregon, with OSU heading to Eugene, Oregon, Sept. 12, 2020, and the Ducks coming to Columbus Sept. 11, 2021. That was preceded two weeks ago by the Buckeyes announcing Texas agreed to a home-and-home series with the Buckeyes in 2022-2023. Ohio State heads to Austin Sept. 17, 2022, and the Longhorns come to The Horseshoe Sept. 16, 2023. Im glad to see the major powers are starting to schedule more of these intersectional games against other major powers apparently thanks to the planned playoff format coming to college football in 2014. Id like to see matchups with other non-conference powers in the same seasons as these but one step at a time. Tulsa and Central Michigan, are on the 2016 schedule; though they are programs trying to get up with the big boys, just arent the same as playing Oklahoma. Maybe by 2030 when Urban Meyer is celebrating his eighth national title in Columbus! The thing is: Im not even sure what Im doing tomorrow, let alone in 2020. Theyre putting schedules together in 2023? Sheesh! Its almost refreshing.
have made great contributions this year and tonight. However, that was just a great effort by Jackie; she was not going to be denied. At 11:26, junior Justine Verhoff had an 8-yarder denied by German. However, Gardner took it upon herself to put the ball in the back of the net. At 5:28, she finished off a sequence on the right wing helped by senior Skylar Basinger by getting control of the orb after the Musketeers failed to clear and fired an 8-yarder hard and low to the left for the 1-0 edge. I didnt even see the goal; I was worried because (senior) Lori (Bruskotter) had taken a shot to the mouth and was bleeding. Im not sure what happened, Wagner noted. Kalida is a good team, no doubt, and they seemed more aggressive from the start. We also chose the wrong time to not play very well. We didnt possess or pass the ball well, we were in too much of a hurry to get rid of the ball and we just werent in sync; we never got anything going offensively. Thats how they beat us last time, too; an unfortunate goal. At 4:36, senior Kaylyn Verhoff was shook up for Kalida but left the pitch under her own power. Jennings had one more chance to try and get the equalizer but Maags 10-yard header was denied by Sarah Verhoff. Too bad this was a district semifinal and not a final. We
knew coming in how tough they were going to be; it was the same type of match as the first one (Sept. 7), Kehres added. We just showed so much resilience and heart; thats what won this match. We told the girls at the half to leave it all on the field and they did. Wagner will bid goodbye to 10 seniors total: German, Schroeder, Bruskotter, Maag, Martina Weems, Katlin Stechschulte, Marissa Mesker, Mara Brown, Kristen Maag and Gina Stechschulte. We told them at the half to give it everything they have and they did, Wagner added. This was the best group of seniors Ive ever worked with in my time here as coach. They will definitely be tough to replace next fall. Holtkamp showed that she was going to be very active from the word go, getting a 10-yarder from the left wing just 40 ticks into the match that was deflected by a defender for a corner kick, one of six for the Maroon and White (2 for the Orange and Black). That was the pattern for most of the half; when Kalida did get looks, defenders feet were in the way or German made the saves. With 1:25 remaining in the first 40 minutes, Gardner and Holtkamp almost put together a nice sequence in front of the net, with the senior getting a 1-on-1 8-yarder from the middle. However, the keeper came out just enough to force a shot just wide right.
The Green JIM METCALFE Bay Packers, the only shareholderowned professional franchise in America the people are the [email protected] owners! have requested $58 million from the National Football Leagues stadium construction program to renovate hallowed Lambeau Field. The owners have approved the loan. This was another one of those ideas that were part of the collective bargaining agreement signed last fall because both sides were concerned that stadiums remain viable experiences for fans. I kind of like it. Its their own money. The Packers are not owned by a man or woman with mucho buckos or even a group of loaded investors. They rely on average Americans to buy shares and be active in doing their part in running the team. Makes you want to be an investor! I have been very harsh toward Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and his handling of the team since he has become Mr. Everything in the organization. However, he is still a human being and lost his 90-yearold widowed mother, Arminta Jones, Tuesday. My sympathies go out to him.

LOCAL ROUNDUP
Defiance College on a summery Wednesday and battled the Yellow Jackets for 90 minutes, coming up just short as a Defiance cross slipped inside the back post in minute 70 for the only score of the match. The Beavers fell to 3-11-1 overall and 1-5-1 in the Heartland Conference following a disappointing loss to their rivals, while DC improved to 9-5-4 and 4-2-2 in the HCAC. Bluffton controlled much of the action during the first half, piling up a 5-2 advantage in shots to go along with a slim 2-1 edge in corner kicks. The match remained a scoreless tie until Lindsay Bubnick curled the ball inside the back post at the 69:07 mark. Bluffton was unable to force extra time as Defiance held on for the victory. The Jackets stormed back in the second half with eight shots for a 10-9 advantage overall. The home team forced one more corner kick (5-4) while committing one more foul (8-7). Freshman keeper Ashley Knippen (Wapakoneta) turned away three Defiance attempts in the loss. Leading the Bluffton offense was sophomore Taylor Fultz (Camden/ Preble Shawnee) who finished with four shot attempts. Bluffton will put the wraps on its 2012 season when the Beavers welcome Transylvania University noon Saturday on Senior Day. See ROUNDUP, page 7

Roundup
Get this: It was the first 3-homer game at the stadium originally known as Pac Bell Park since the very first one, when Kevin Elster did it for the Dodgers in 2000. Nope, not even home run king Barry Bonds had done this. Tagged by Sandoval for a solo shot in the first inning, Verlander could only mouth Wow! when the Giants star launched a 2-run drive in the third that set off another blast of fog horns. Sandoval reprised his power show from this years AllStar game, when his bases-loaded triple highlighted a 5-run first inning against Verlander. Quite a blast from a team that finished last in the majors in homers. And if there was any doubt that Verlander was shaky, the clearest sign came in the fourth. Thats when Zito, a career .099 hitter, sliced an RBI single with two outs off the current AL MVP for a 5-0 lead. The festive crowd stood and applauded when it was announced that Verlander was being pulled for a pinch-hitter in the fifth. Sandoval gave his followers another reason to get up moments later when he hit a solo homer off reliever Al Alburquerque in the fifth, answering the cheers by waving his batting helmet in a curtain call. The Tigers seemed out of sorts in their first game following a 5-day layoff. That was an issue in 2006, too, when Verlander and
his teammates had nearly a week off before getting wiped out by the Cardinals. Im one thats been around long enough to know that a lot of things happen in this game. This was a big-hyped game with Justin, probably a lot of pressure on him, Leyland said. But I dont think it had anything to do with the pressure. His fastball command was not good. He got out of sync. He got on fast forward. He just did not pitch well tonight. Its that simple. Pujols homered three times last year, Jackson accomplished the feat in 1977 and Ruth did it in 1926 and again in 1928. For good measure, Sandoval lined a single his last time up. Scutaro, the NL championship series MVP, twice hit RBI singles after doubles by Angel Pagan. NL batting champion Buster Posey contributed two hits, leftfielder Gregor Blanco made diving catches to rob Cabrera and Prince Fielder and Tim Lincecum came out of the bullpen to prevent further damage. The Giants kept getting good bounces, with Pagan hitting a double that hopped off the third-base bag. ALCS MVP Delmon Young, meanwhile, failed to run after a tapper in front of the plate that the Giants turned into a double play. Verlander was trying to settle in when Sandoval tagged him, pouncing on an 0-2 fastball and lining it into the front row over the centerfield wall. Verlander got into trouble again the third and pitching coach Jeff Jones strolled to the mound when the count went to 2-0 on Sandoval. Verlander stared at Jones and shook his head. On the next pitch, Verlander could do little but watch the ball sail into the front row in left. Lincecum retired seven straight batters and struck out five of them. The 2-time Cy Young winner has embraced his new role in the bullpen. Jhonny Peralta hit a 2-run homer for the Tigers in the ninth off mopup reliever George Kontos.
Jefferson Chris Truesdale, a 5-10, 165pound senior defensive back, continued to play well for the Wildcat defense despite a 17-0 loss to Ada Friday night. He continues to lead the team in interceptions (5) and has added 39 total tackles from his secondary spot.

Some interesting times will be in the offing for you in the year ahead, both materially and socially. Plus, the possibility of fulfilling many of your hopes, desires and expectations will be better than its been in a long time. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Dont feel obligated to attend a social function just to keep up appearances. If you dont like the event and/or some of the people wholl be there, give your regrets. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23Dec. 21) -- Time is too precious to squander on just anything or anybody. Share it with those you truly like and enjoy doing things with. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19) -- It could turn out to be a huge learning experience when you get involved in a stimulating discussion with someone whose views diametrically oppose yours. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 19) -- This can be an extremely favorable day in terms of financial gain, but not necessarily from investments or joint ventures. Youll play your own game for a big payoff. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Friends will have little doubt as to where you stand, and youll be respected for your candor, even when your position opposes that of the majority. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- An old obligation that has been owed you for quite a while is collectable at this point in time. Approach the debtor in such a manner that he or she will get the message without resenting it. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Youre likely to be approached to chair a committee within a certain group or club in which youre involved. It may be a tough job, but it will have interesting side benefits. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Several of your goals are achievable, but not necessarily in the way you envision. If you discover you cant get past the obstacles blocking your path, youll go around them. CANCER (June 21July 22) -- The old adage Experience is the best teacher will be true in your case. When you discover you could once again repeat a mistake that cost you some bitter moments, youll circumvent it. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Someone who considers you to be an easy mark is in for a rude awakening. When push comes to shove, youll be extremely resourceful. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Even though youll be negotiating from a position of strength, youll still be fair in your dealings. Youll go out of your way to make sure that both you and the other guy come out well. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Service you render will be given both willingly and expertly. However, no one should expect a freebie, because you value your work and the remuneration you deserve for it.

By FERNANDO GONZALEZ The Associated Press HOLGUIN, Cuba Hurricane Sandy rumbled across mountainous eastern Cuba on today as a Category 2 storm, bringing heavy rains and blistering winds that ripped the roofs off homes and damaged fragile coffee and tomato crops, but caused no known fatalities on the island. Even as it pummeled Cubas rural eastern half, Sandy refused to lose intensity as storms normally do when they cross over land, raising fears that small mountain villages still unheard from might not have been ready for its wrath. The U.S. National Hurricane Center said Sandy emerged off Cubas northeast coast around dawn and was mov-

By CHRIS CAROLA The Associated Press SCHENECTADY, N.Y. Its scratchy, lasts only 78 seconds and features the worlds first recorded blooper. The modern masses can now listen to what experts say is the oldest playable recording of an American voice and the first-ever capturing of a musical performance, thanks to digital advances that allowed the sound to be transferred from flimsy tinfoil to computer. The recording was originally made on a Thomas Edisoninvented phonograph in St. Louis in 1878. At a time when music lovers can carry thousands of digital songs on a player the size of a pack of gum, Edisons tinfoil playback seems prehistoric. But that dinosaur opens a key window into the development of recorded sound. In the history of recorded sound thats still playable, this is about as far back as we can go, said John Schneiter, a trustee at the Museum of Innovation and Science, where it will be played tonight in the city where Edison helped found the General Electric Co. The recording opens with a 23-second cornet solo of an unidentified song, followed by a mans voice reciting Mary Had a Little Lamb and Old Mother Hubbard. The man laughs at two spots during the recording, including at the end, when he recites the wrong words in the second nursery rhyme. Look at me; I dont know the song, he says. When the recording is played using modern technology during a presentation today at a nearby theater, it likely will be the first time it has been played at a public event since it was created during an Edison phonograph demonstration held June 22, 1878, in St. Louis, museum officials said. The recording was made on a sheet of tinfoil, 5 inches wide by 15 inches long, placed on the cylinder of the phonograph Edison (Continued from page 1) One thing weve heard over the last 20 years is that education has an overreliance on property taxes, Superintendent Don Diglia added. So weve tried to find another way. This is the first time weve gone back to the voters since 2005. I think weve been good stewards of the taxpayers money. Since announcing intentions to seek another levy, Elida has come up against the claim that the newly-erected high school building is the reason for the new levy. A big misconception is that we built this new building and now we dont have enough money to keep it running, Parker said. But even if we hadnt passed that bond issue in 2008, wed still be back on the ballot this year. The new high school was an outstanding project that was completed on time and under budget and the new building out-performs the middle school building as far as utilities. Over the last decade, Elida has made $3 million in cuts including pay freezes across the board, closure of the Gomer kindergarten building, reduced bus routes and drastic cuts to staff. Weve cut 43 staff positions over the last 10 years but our enrollment has stayed the same, Diglia said. We are literally at the exact same number with 2,561 students. The student/teacher ratio is now the highest its been since Ive been superintendent. Weve lost so many great programs, he continued. We had home economics and industrial arts at the middle school. We had a program called Success at
storm conditions along the southeastern Florida coast, the Upper Keys and Florida Bay by Friday morning. A tropical storm warning was extended northward as far as Flagler Beach and a tropical storm watch was issued for the northeastern Florida coast. Sandy also may combine with other weather systems to create a major storm over the northeastern U.S. next week, according to federal and private forecasters. Itll be a rough couple days from Hatteras up to Cape Cod, said forecaster Jim Cisco of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration prediction center in College Park, Maryland. We dont have many modern precedents for what the models are suggesting.
invented in 1877 and began selling the following year. A hand crank turned the cylinder under a stylus that would move up and down over the foil, recording the sound waves created by the operators voice. The stylus would eventually tear the foil after just a few playbacks, and the person demonstrating the technology would typically tear up the tinfoil and hand the pieces out as souvenirs, according to museum curator Chris Hunter. Popping noises heard on this recording are likely from scars left from where the foil was folded up for more than a century. Realistically, once you played it a couple of times, the stylus would tear through it and destroy it, he said. Only a handful of the tinfoil recording sheets are known to survive, and of those, only two are playable: the Schenectady museums and an 1880 recording owned by The Henry Ford museum in Michigan. Hunter said he was able to determine just this week that the mans voice on the museums 1878 tinfoil recording is believed to be that of Thomas Mason, a St. Louis newspaper political writer who also went by the pen name I.X. Peck. Edison company records show that one of his newly invented tinfoil phonographs, serial No. 8, was sold to Mason for $95.50 in April 1878, and a search of old newspapers revealed a listing for a public phonograph program being offered by Peck on June 22, 1878, in St. Louis, the curator said. A womans voice says the words Old Mother Hubbard, but her identity remains a mystery, he said. Three weeks after making the recording, Mason died of sunstroke, Hunter said. A Connecticut woman donated the tinfoil to the Schenectady museum in 1978 for an exhibit on the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Edison company that later merged with another to form GE. The womans father had been an antiques dealer in the Midwest and counted the item among his favorites, Hunter said. years that set students up for success later in their education and in life, Parker said. If anything, we should be focusing more on kindergarten and I think statewide we should even be working more on pre-school. Cutting back on kindergarten is something that would be tough on our kids. Its not the direction we need to be going in. Even with the bleak financial forecast and the hits Elida will take if the levy doesnt pass, Parker maintains an optimistic outlook concerning the voters of Elida. I read a survey recently that said 77 percent of people in Ohio love their public school, he said. One thing thats been made very clear to me over the last couple years is the support we have from the Elida community. We have a lot of great Bulldog fans out there.

Obama will be re-elected have slipped: Half of voters now expect the president to win a second term, down from 55 percent a month earlier. For all of the good news for Republicans, however, what matters most in the election endgame is Romneys standing in the handful of states whose electoral votes still are up for grabs. And polls in a number of those battleground states still appear to favor Obama. As the election nears, Romney has been playing down social issues and trying to project a more moderate stance on matters such as abortion in an effort to court female voters. The AP-GfK poll, taken Friday through Tuesday, shows Romney pulling even with Obama among women at 47-47 after lagging by 16 points a month earlier. But now his campaign is grappling with the fallout from a comment by a Romneyendorsed Senate candidate in Indiana, who said that when a woman becomes pregnant during a rape thats something God intended. Romney quickly distanced himself from the remark by Republican Richard Mourdock. But Obama campaign spokeswoman Jen Psaki said the incident was a reminder that a Republican Congress working with a Republican President Mitt Romney would feel that women should not be able to make choices about their own health care. A renewed focus on social
issues would be an unwelcome development for Romney: Among female likely voters, 55 percent say Obama would make the right decisions on womens issues, compared with 41 percent who think Romney would. Romneys pitch to women has been focused squarely on the economy, making the case that what women want most is to ensure their families and their country are on a solid financial footing. The poll shows that message appears to be taking root. A month ago, women favored Obama over Romney on the economy 56 percent to 40 percent. Now, the split has shifted to 49 percent for Romney and 45 percent for Obama. Similarly, Obamas lead among women as the candidate who better understands the peoples problems has narrowed considerably, from a 58-36 Obama advantage last month to a 50-43 Obama edge now. Monica Jensen, a 55-yearold independent from Mobile, Ala., says she voted for Obama in 2008 but will shift her vote to Romney this time, largely because of the economy. Im ready for a change, she said. I want to see the economy go in a different direction. Ginny Lewis, a Democrat and 72-year-old retired district attorney from Princeton, Ky., says shell vote for Romney because Im tired of the Republicans blaming all the debt on Democrats, so let them take over and see what they do.
the high school, a service program that was fantastic. We dont have any of that anymore. Anything we cut now will directly affect the kids in a negative way. This levy isnt about bringing back any of these programs, its about maintaining what we have. We need this to stop the bleeding. If the levy should fail, Elida will need to cut $750,000 more a year, forcing the loss of programs considered staples in todays educational system, such as physical education, arts and music programs and fullday kindergarten. The district fears cuts like these will make it nearly impossible to meet the requirements of the rising educational standards and maintain high ratings on the district report card. Kindergarten and the earlier years of education are the
ing roughly 41 million miles to and from school every day in this country. This observance is sponsored by: National Association for Pupil Transportation, National S chool Transportation Association, National Association of State Directors of Pupil Transportation, National Safety Council, and School Bus Manufacturers and Suppliers. Their goal is to educate students and the public about school bus safety. This years theme is I See the Driver The Driver Sees Me! School buses are among the safest transportation around. Statistics show around six children die per year as passengers on school buses; however, fatalities have more often occurred from pedestrian accidents involving motorists who illegally pass school buses, failing to see children. When a school bus is stopped, flashing lights on the bus warn drivers to stop, in order to allow children to safely board and get off the bus. Motorists should be vigilant when sharing the road with the big yellow buses. Bus drivers have to have nerves of steel. Kids can get rowdy on school buses and drivers should have rules (short and simple) their young passengers follow. It is helpful when bus drivers get to know their kids and try to be a positive role model. Parents should expect their students to show respect to their driver, who plays this very important role in getting them safely to school and back home. Riders were recently caught bullying a lady that accom-
panied the bus every day until one child filmed the event on his cell phone. There is no excuse for this behavior on a bus or anywhere else. Here are some safety reminders for parents and students from The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration: Parents should be sure their children get to the bus stop on time. Students should stand back several feet from the edge of the road until the bus comes to a complete stop. If a student drops something near the bus, he/she should ask the driver for help. The driver may not be able to see when a child bends over to pick something up. The best solution is to have all their things secure in a backpack or bag. Be sure clothing or backpacks have no loose drawstrings that could get caught in the bus door. Ask school officials or transportation authorities to change the location of a bus stop if it is not in a safe place. Students should cross the street in view of the driver: Cross in View Its the Thing to Do, was a previous years theme. The big yellow buses not only transport the kids to school every day but also take them on field trips, to sports events and many other extracurricular activities. Their passengers are ther future; obey the laws that protect the lives of our children and their caregivers the drivers.
