WASHINGTON (AP)
No major medical group rec-

ommends routine PSA blood
tests to check men for pros-
tate cancer, and now a gov-
ernment panel is saying they
do more harm than good and
healthy men should no longer
receive the tests as part of
routine cancer screening.
The panels guidelines had
long advised men over 75
to forgo the tests and the
new recommendation extends
that do-not-screen advice to
healthy men of all ages.
The recommendation by
the U.S. Preventive Services
Task Force, being made pub-
lic today, will not come as a
surprise to cancer specialists.
Yet, most men over 50
have had at least one PSA
blood test, the assumption
being that finding cancer
early is always a good thing.
Not so, said Dr. Virginia
Moyer of the Baylor College
of Medicine, who heads the
task force.
We have put a huge
amount of time, effort and
energy into PSA screening
and that time, effort and ener-
gy, that passion, should be
going into finding a better
test instead of using a test that
doesnt work, Moyer told
The Associated Press late
Thursday.
Too much PSA, or pros-
tate-specific antigen, in the
blood only sometimes signals
prostate cancer is brewing.
It also can mean a benign
enlarged prostate or an infec-
tion. Worse, screening often
detects small tumors that will
prove too slow-growing to be
deadly. And theres no sure
way to tell in advance who
needs aggressive therapy.
The task force analyzed all
the previous research on this
subject, including five major

VAN WERT Paying
a visit to an art gallery can
prompt one to marvel at the
skill and creativity needed to
fashion the individual works
of art. People rarely take a step
back and admire the thought
and artistry that goes into orga-
nizing the gallery itself, wheth-
er it be plucking a brilliant art-
ist from obscurity or designing
the exhibit in such a way as to
cast each unique piece of work
in the best light.
Hope Wallace does this and
more as executive director of
Wassenberg Art Center in Van
Wert.
As director, I get to choose
the programs and exhibits,
she said. I try to choose ones
that will benefit the community
more or interest them or some
that would possibly broaden a
certain concept for them. I also
write grants and Im working
on designing our new website.
I find and bring in new artists,
create shows and give presen-
tations at the board of direc-
tors meetings.
We offer classes here, too,
like basic drawing, watercolor
and acrylic painting, anime
manga drawing, multi-media
and several others that kind of
rotate and tumble over each
other, she continued. I design
the class structure and help
incorporate it with the teachers.
I try to bring in new experience

Protesters fed up with both parties
By BETH FOUHY and
VERENA DOBNIK
The Associated Press
NEW YORK Their
chief target is Wall Street,
but many of the demonstra-
tors in New York and across
the U.S. also are thoroughly
disgusted with Washington,
blaming politicians of both
major parties for policies
they say protect corporate
America at the expense of
the middle class.
At this point I dont
see any difference between
George Bush and Obama.
The middle class is a lot
worse than when Obama was
elected, said John Penley,
an unemployed legal worker
from Brooklyn.
The Occupy Wall Street
movement, which began last
month with a small num-
ber of young people pitch-
ing a tent in front of the
New York Stock Exchange,
has expanded nationally
and drawn a wide variety
of activists, including union
members and laid-off work-
ers. Demonstrators marched
Thursday in Philadelphia,
Salt Lake City, Los Angeles
and Anchorage, Alaska, car-
rying signs with slogans such
as Get money out of poli-
tics and I cant afford a
lobbyist.
The protests are in some
ways the liberal flip side
of the tea party movement,
which was launched in 2009
in a populist reaction against
the bank and auto bailouts
and the $787 billion econom-
ic stimulus plan.
But while tea party activ-
ists eventually became a cru-
cial part of the Republican
coalition, the Occupy Wall
Street protesters are cutting
President Barack Obama lit-
tle slack. They say Obama
failed to crack down on the
banks after the 2008 mort-
gage meltdown and financial
crisis.
He could have taken a
much more populist, aggres-
sive stance at the beginning
against Wall Street bonus-
es, and exacting certain
change from bailing out the
banks, said Michael Kazin,
a Georgetown University
history professor and author
of American Dreamers, a
history of the left. But ulti-
mately, the economy has not
gotten much better, and thats
underscored the frustration on
both the right and the left.
Obama on Thursday
acknowledged the eco-
nomic insecurities fueling
the nearly 3-week-old Wall
Street protests. But he pinned
responsibility on the financial
industry and on congressio-
nal Republicans he says have
blocked his efforts to kick-
start job growth.
I think people are frus-
trated and the protesters are
giving voice to a more broad-
based frustration about how
our financial system works,
he said at a nationally tele-
vised news conference. The
American people understand
that not everybody has been
following the rules, that Wall
Street is an example of that
... and thats going to express
itself politically in 2012 and
Occupy Wall Street
His (Obamas)
message is that
hes sticking to the
party line, which
is we are taking
care of the situ-
ation. But hes
not proposing
any solutions.

Could you Be
The Match?
On Saturday, friends of
the Ryan Karhoff and Jan
Wiechart families will host
a donor registry drive to
raise awareness about the
need for marrow donors
and to find possible match-
ing donors for Ryan and Jan
and many others like them.
Delphos area residents
ages 18 to 60 can take the
first step to save a life by
joining the Be The Match
Registry between 10 a.m.
and 2 p.m. on Saturday at
St. Johns Ministry Center,
201 S. Pierce St., using
a simple cheek swab.
Donors with diverse racial
or ethnic backgrounds are
especially needed as patients
in need of a transplant
are most likely to match
someone who shares their
same race or ethnicity.
The total cost to add each
new member to the Be The
Match Registry is about
$100. Be The Match relies
on financial contributions
to help cover these costs.
Contributions to its help add
more members to the reg-
istry, giving more patients
hope for a cure. Those join-
ing the registry are asked
to give what they can.

Cast: Hugh Jackman, Dakota Goyo, Evangeline Lilly, Anthony Mackie,
Kevin Durand
Director: Shawn Levy
Screenplay: John Gatins, Story Dan Gilroy, Jeremy Leven
Rated: PG-13 for some violence, intense action and brief language.
A gritty, white-knuckle, action ride set in the near-future where the sport of
boxing has gone high-tech, Real Steel stars Hugh Jackman as Charlie Ken-
ton, a washed-up fghter who lost his chance at a title when 2000-pound,
8-foot-tall steel robots took over the ring. Now nothing but a small-time
promoter, Charlie earns just enough money piecing together low-end bots
from scrap metal to get from one underground boxing venue to the next.
When Charlie hits rock bottom, he reluctantly teams up with his estranged
son Max (Dakota Goyo) to build and train a championship contender. As
the stakes in the brutal, no-holds-barred arena are raised, Charlie and Max,
against all odds, get one last shot at a comeback.
Students can pick up their
awards in their school offices.

Andrew J. Dinkins, 22, of
Delphos will appear in Lima
Municipal Court at 2 p.m. on
Tuesday
on a fifth-
degree
felony
charge of
receiv-
ing and
conceal-
ing stolen
property.
Dinkins
has
been in
the Allen County Jail since
Sept. 30 after city police
and the Lima Adult Parole
Officers for violating terms
of his parole conditions.
Delphos police have now
formally charged Dinkins with
the new felony charge that
stems from an on-going bur-
glary investigation reported
to Delphos officers on Sept.
24 by a resident in the 500
block of East Third Street in
Delphos.
The investigation contin-
ues as of report time.
At 8:25 a.m. on Monday
Delphos Police were called to
a residence in the 300 block of
North Main Street in reference
to a burglary complaint.
Upon officers arrival, the
complainant stated a male
subject known to them and an
unidentified male came to the
residence and forced their way
in and took items from inside.
The case has been forward-
ed to the Detective Bureau for
further investigation.
At 7:01 p.m. on Tuesday,
Delphos police were called to
the 600 block of West Second
Street in reference to a theft
from a motor vehicle.

studies, to evaluate whether rou-
tine screening reduces deaths
from prostate cancer. The conclu-
sion: Theres little if any mortal-
ity benefit.
But there is harm from routine
screening: impotence, inconti-
nence, infections, even death that
can come from the biopsies, sur-
gery and radiation, Moyer said.
One study estimated 2 of
every 5 men whose prostate can-
cer was caught through a PSA
test had tumors too slow-growing
to ever be a threat.
Yet Moyer said 30 percent
of men who are treated for PSA-
discovered prostate cancer suffer
significant side effects, some-
times death, from the resulting
treatment.
About a third of men ages
40 to 60 have brewing prostate
cancer but the huge majority of
them will never know it in their
lifetime if they are not screened,
she added.
The task force previously had
considered the evidence for or
against PSA screening inconclu-
sive. The new recommendation
says not to routinely screen. That
recommendation is a draft that is
open for public comment begin-
ning next week.

20-year-old Van Wert man

Protest

The president has been
pushing for a $443 billion
jobs plan to be paid for in part
through a tax on the wealthy.
Republicans have resisted
such tax increases.
GOP presidential can-
didates Mitt Romney and
Herman Cain have criticized
the anti-Wall Street protests.
All the Republican contend-
ers have also pushed back
against the demonization of
Wall Street. They accuse the
Obama administration of set-
ting regulatory policies that
have stifled job creation and
say his health care overhaul
will prevent many businesses
from hiring new workers.
In Zuccotti Park, the center
of the Occupy Wall Street
protests in New York, activ-
ists expressed deep frustra-
tion with the political gridlock
in Washington. While some
blamed Republicans for block-
ing reform, others singled out
Obama.
His message is that hes
sticking to the party line,
which is we are taking care
of the situation. But hes not
proposing any solutions, said
Thorin Caristo, an antiques
store owner from Plainfield,

But Robert Arnow, a
retired real estate worker, said
the Republicans need to tell
their congressional leaders,
Youre standing in the way
of change.

VAN WERT The
Vantage Career Center
expansion and renovation
project is back on sched-
ule. The Vantage board got
a construction update during
the October board meeting
Thursday evening.
Superintendent Staci
Kaufman and Vantage
Director Bob Vennekotter
each reported that although
the $34 million project had
slipped 17 days behind
schedule, more crews have
been brought in to bring the
progress back to where it was
planned to be at this point.
Vennekotter pointed out that
instead of doing the work
in a particular order, more
workers are now on the job
allowing multiple tasks to be
completed at the same time.
The project is scheduled
so that classes can move back
into parts of the building cur-
rently being renovated during
a break in April. Kaufman
also updated board members
about possible additional
improvements that can be
included if the project stays
under budget. Under the Ohio
School Facilities Commission
rules, Vantage would be able
to keep only 25 percent of
money left in the construction
funds, but if additional work
is approved to include in the
project, that money would
be used by the district. On
Thursday, the board approved
the construction documents
and authorized bidding for the
technology package. Bidding
on the loose furnishings con-
tract has been pushed back to
be sure items are available.
Kaufman also announced
that the district is looking
to have a public auction in
November to sell off unneed-
ed loose furnishings and other
items from the school. A date
will be finalized at the next
board meeting.
Adult Education Director
Pete Pritchard recapped
Vantages participation in the
Ohio Green Energy Tour last

ing with training persons in

Autopsy finds vehicle hit Ohioan in Italy
ROME (AP) An autop-
sy Thursday determined that
a young American woman
whose body was found in a
roadside canal in Italy was
fatally struck by a vehicle, a
lawyer for her family said.
The victim, 23-year-old
Allison Owens of Columbus
worked as a tour guide. She
was believed to have been
jogging when struck Sunday
afternoon along a busy
road that runs through the
Tuscan town of San Giovanni
Valdarno.
The autopsy has been
completed. The experts who
performed it agree that the
death was caused by a road
accident, Valentino Durante,
representing the Owens fam-
ily, told reporters in Arezzo
where the forensic exam was
carried out.
There are no signs of vio-
lence, he also said.
Italian news reports said
car fragments, possibly from
a dark-colored Volvo, were
found near the body and
that Carabinieri paramilitary
police investigators have
checked nearby auto body
shops for potential leads.
Carabinieri Col. Antonio
Frassinetto, who is leading
the probe, was out in the
field Thursday evening and
could not be reached for com-
ment. On Wednesday, after
the body was found in a canal
near the road, Frassinetto said
Owens may have been jog-
ging with an iPod and not
heard a vehicle approaching.
Owens was last seen alive
Sunday afternoon. Her moth-
er, Cindy Owens, arrived on
Wednesday in San Giovanni
Valdarno.
When she (the mother)
came to Italy, she found a
community of persons, of
friendship, even with strang-
ers, who contributed to make
the most sorrowful day of her
life less sorrowful, Durante
said.
Durante accompanied
the mother to a prosecutors
office, which also has begun
a probe.
The only statement she
made this morning was, Allison
was a marvelous girl, the law-
yer told reporters.
COLUMBUS (AP) A
former Ohio State student
accused of emailing the FBI
a bogus warning that nine
bombs were set to go off at
the university was sentenced
Thursday to six months in
federal prison.
U.S. District Judge
Edmund Sargus Jr. also sen-
tenced Jonathan Birkemeyer
of Columbus to three years of
supervised release to include
three months in a halfway
house and three months of
home confinement.
The sentence also allows
the 25-year-old Birkemeyer
to get needed counseling,
said his attorney, Keith
Schneider.
It was a very fair and
equitable sentence that will
both thwart the kind of con-
duct that occurred and give
my client the treatment ... he
needs, he said.
Birkemeyer pleaded
guilty in June to maliciously
conveying false information
concerning an attempt to
destroy property by means
of explosives.
Birkemeyer was a student
when he sent the November
email claiming he found a
map showing bombs set to
be triggered in door jambs
in four campus buildings,
investigators said.
The threat prompted the
closure of four buildings and
three streets and for a day
disrupted life at one of the
countrys largest universi-
ties.
Investigators have said
Birkemeyer was struggling
to make the transition from
the military to college life
and emailed the threat the
day he was scheduled to take
an exam in one of the build-
ings he named in the mes-
sage.
A criminology student,
he enrolled at Ohio State in
the fall of 2009 after being
honorably discharged from
the U.S. Navy. He has since
withdrawn from the school.
Birkemeyer used a stolen
Apple MacBook to check
the FBI tip site and maps of
Ohio State before using a
stolen iPod to send the threat
to an FBI public tips website,
authorities said. FBI agents
said the bureau identified the
Internet address assigned to
the iPod and learned that
Birkemeyer had accessed
his Facebook account from
the same address 13 minutes
before the email was sent.
A U.S. Marine had report-
ed the iPod stolen aboard the
USS John C. Stennis during
the same time Birkemeyer
was aboard, investigators
said.
Birkemeyer has also
pleaded guilty in Franklin
County to a state charge of
breaking and entering into
an apartment near campus
in October 2010 in con-
nection with the theft of
the MacBook. A sentenc-
ing hearing on the charge
is scheduled for today, and
the prosecution and defense
have recommended that the
judge order any state sen-
tence to run concurrently
with Birkemeyers federal
sentence.

CINCINNATI (AP)
Authorities have reopened a
busy stretch of highway in
Cincinnati that was closed
for 10 hours because of a big
fuel spill that resulted from
a crash.

reports the northbound side
of Interstate 75 was shut
down from about 8 p.m.
Thursday until 6 a.m. Friday
between the Ohio River
and the Hopple Street inter-
change northwest of down-
town. Crews had to mop up
more than 300 gallons of oil
that spilled when a tanker
and a car collided.
Police say the truck
dragged the car for half a
mile. No one was seriously
hurt.
The crash is under investi-
gation. No charges have been
filed.

WASHINGTON For
more Americans, being out
of work has become a semi-
permanent condition.
Nearly one-third of the
unemployed nearly 4.5
million people have had
no job for a year or more.
Thats a record high. Many
are older workers who have
found it especially hard to
find jobs.
Economists say their pros-
pects wont brighten much
even after the economy starts
to strengthen and hiring picks
up. Even if they can find a
job, it will likely pay far less
than their old ones did.
The outlook is unlikely to
improve today, when the gov-
ernment issues its monthly
jobs report. Economists pre-
dict it will show that employ-
ers added a net 56,000 jobs in
September.
Thats far fewer than
needed to reduce unemploy-
ment. The unemployment
rate is expected to remain 9.1
percent for a third straight
month.
Federal Reserve Chairman
Ben Bernanke last week called
long-term unemployment a
national crisis and said it
should be one of Congress
top priorities.
When people are out of
work for a year or more, their
skills often decline. Their
professional networks shrink.
Companies hesitate to hire
them. The problem feeds on
itself.
Its a serious threat, said
Mark Zandi, chief econo-
mist at Moodys Analytics.
A growing proportion of the
labor force is becoming dis-
enfranchised.
Long-term unemploy-
ment sets this recession and
weak recovery apart from
any other period since the
Great Depression. Though
the economy has endured
jobless recoveries before,
in no previous recovery has
such a high proportion of the
unemployed been out of work
this long.
Labor Department figures
show that for roughly the past
year and a half, one in three
of the unemployed have been
without a job for at least a
year. Thats more than dou-
ble the previous peak after
the 1981-82 recession.
Businesses would have
to start hiring much faster
before a larger proportion of
the long-term unemployed
would find work. Many
employers see them as riski-
er than other potential hires.
Some might need additional
training. Companies arent
likely to take such risks until
the economy shows consis-
tent strength.
Long-term unemployment
affects the economy in key
ways:
It lowers skill levels,
making it harder to match
the unemployed with avail-
able jobs. Harry Holzer, a
Georgetown University econ-
omist, said that once hiring
picks up, employers tend to
complain that they cant find
people with the new skills
they need. Companies are
already having trouble fill-
ing advanced manufacturing
jobs, Holzer said.
More people rely
on government benefits.
Unemployment benefits were
extended during the reces-
sion to a record 99 weeks
in states with the highest
unemployment rates. The
number of people receiving
food stamps topped 45 mil-
lion in May. Thats another
record. Older workers unable
to find jobs often draw their
Social Security benefits ear-
lier. Many also have health
problems and end up on gov-
ernment disability programs.
The long-term unem-
ployed who do find jobs again
will likely do so at lower pay.
A study by the Congressional
Budget Office found that the
long-term unemployed earn,
on average, 20 percent less
when they finally find work.
Nearly one-third of US is unemployed
By RICARDO
ALONSO-ZALDIVAR
Associated Press
WASHINGTON The
federal government is taking
on a crucial new role in the
nations health care, designing
a basic benefits package for
millions of privately insured
Americans. A framework for
the Obama administration was
released Thursday.
The report by independent
experts from the Institute of
Medicine lays out guidelines
for deciding what to include
in the new essential bene-
fits package, how to keep it
affordable for small businesses
and taxpayers, and also scien-
tifically up to date.
About 68 million
Americans, many of them
currently insured, ultimately
would be affected by the new
benefits package. Thats big-
ger than the number of seniors
enrolled in Medicare.
The advisers recommended
that the package be built on
mid-tier health plans currently
offered by small employers,
expanded to include certain
services such as mental health,
and squeezed into a real-world
budget.
They did not spell out a list
of services to cover, but they
did recommend that the gov-
ernment require evidence of
cost effectiveness.
In this day and age, when
we are talking about fiscal
responsibility, its a report that
recognized that we have to
take account of what we can
afford while trying to make
sure that people have adequate
coverage, said panel member
Elizabeth McGlynn, director
of Kaiser Permanentes cen-
ter for effectiveness and safety
research.
Until now, designing ben-
efits has been the job of insur-
ers, employers and state offi-
cials. But the new health care
law requires insurance com-
panies to provide at least the
federally approved package if
they want to sell to small busi-
nesses, families and individu-
als through new state markets
set to open in 2014.
Most existing workplace
plans wont be required to adopt
the federal model, but employ-
ers and consumer advocates
alike predict it will become the
nations benchmark for health
insurance over time.
With the nation divided
over President Barack Obamas
health care overhaul law, and
Republicans condemning it
as a government takeover, the
administration reacted cau-
tiously to the recommenda-
tions.
Health and Human Services
Secretary Kathleen Sebelius
said in a statement that offi-
cials would hold listening
sessions around the coun-
try before any final decisions
are made, which could take
months. The IOM panel rec-
ommended an extensive effort
to engage the public.
Before we put forward a
proposal, it is critical that we
hear from the American peo-
ple, Sebelius said. The law
extends coverage to about 30
million uninsured people.
Actually, work on the ben-
efits package is already well
under way within the HHS
department. On the outside,
a huge lobbying campaign
to shape the final package is
about to take off.
Employer groups partic-
ularly those representing low-
wage industries want to keep
benefits fairly basic. Since the
government is going to be sub-
sidizing coverage for millions
of people, a generous plan will
drive up costs for taxpayers,
they argue. But consumer and
patient advocacy groups that
helped pass the overhaul law
want to make sure their priori-
ties are included.
Feds to design health insurance for the masses
WASHINGTON (AP)
The American dream of
homeownership has felt its
biggest drop since the Great
Depression, according to new
2010 census figures released
Thursday.
The analysis by the Census
Bureau found the homeown-
ership rate fell to 65.1 per-
cent last year. While that level
remains the second highest
decennial rate, analysts say
the U.S. may never return to
its mid-decade housing boom
peak in which nearly 70 per-
cent of occupied households
were owned by their resi-
dents.
The reason: a longer-term
economic reality of tighter
credit, prolonged job losses
and reduced government
involvement.
Unemployed young adults
are least likely to own, delay-
ing first-time home purchases
to live with Mom and Dad.
Middle-aged adults 35-64,
mostly homeowners who were
hit with mortgage foreclosures
or bankruptcy after the hous-
ing bust in 2006, are at their
lowest levels of ownership in
decades.
Measured by race, the
homeownership gap between
whites and blacks is now at its
widest since 1960, wiping out
more than 40 years of gains.
Blacks, who as a whole
have lower income and high-
er unemployment than other
groups, were particularly set
back by the housing bust.
Their homeownership rate fell
from 46.3 percent in 2000 to
44.3 percent; among whites,
the rate dipped slightly from
72.4 percent to 72.2 percent.
Whites are now on average
1.63 times more likely than
blacks to own a home, the
widest gap since 1960.
Among all minorities, hom-
eownership in the U.S. rose
slightly over the past decade
to 48 percent from 47.4 per-
cent, boosted by more home
buying among the younger
and larger Hispanic popula-
tion. Hispanic homeownership
increased from 45.7 percent to
47.3 percent.
Nationwide, the homeown-
ership rate fell to 65.1 per-
cent or 76 million occupied
housing units that were owned
by their residents from 66.2
percent in 2000. That drop-off
of 1.1 percentage points is
the largest since 1940, when
homeownership plummeted
4.2 percentage points during
the Great Depression to a low
of 43.6 percent.
Since 1940, the number
of Americans owning homes
had steadily increased in
each decennial census due to
a mostly booming economy,
favorable tax laws and easier
financing. The one excep-
tion had been 1980-1990,
when ownership remained
unchanged at 64.2 percent.
Broken down by state,
41 states saw declines in
home ownership since 2000,
many of them in the South
and West where foreclosures
were more common. They
were led by South Carolina,
Alabama, Florida, Mississippi
and North Carolina. On the
other end of the scale, states
with higher shares of vacation
homes owned by affluent baby
boomers saw small increases
in ownership, including New
Hampshire, Hawaii, Alaska
and Vermont.
Housing bust
worst since
Great Depression
By NANCY BENAC
Associated Press
WASHINGTON He
deployed hand chops, finger
wags, furrowed brows. He
was sarcastic, demanding,
partisan.
Im not going to cave to
the competition, President
Barack Obama declared mid-
way through Thursdays news
conference.
Though he was talking
about Americas economic
rivals abroad, he could just
as well have been referring
to his Republican antagonists
at home.
Obama, so often partial
to a measured, professorial
mien, opened his hour-plus
news conference by throw-
ing down a marker to the
Republicans who have dared
to dis his jobs plan.
Why would you be
opposed? he demanded of
those who are against his jobs
proposal.
Any senator out there
whos thinking about voting
against this jobs bill when it
comes up for a vote needs to
explain exactly why.
Standing ramrod straight,
Obama kept up the newly
aggressive tone that hes
adopted as the 2012 cam-
paign approaches, punctuat-
ing his words with the single
hand chop, the double hand
chop and the bouncing fist.
To enumerate key points,
hed raise a balled-up hand,
then extend the thumb, next
the pointer and work his way
down to the pinkie.
Like a parent admonish-
ing a child, Obama laid out
a stern and utterly unre-
alistic expectation that
every legislator would vote
for the jobs bill.
They should love this
plan, he insisted.
Republican House Speaker
John Boehner, appearing at a
Washington Ideas Forum not
far away, threw cold water on
any such notion, with a scold
of his own: Were legislat-
ing. Hes campaigning.
Obama didnt just call out
Republicans in Congress. His
admonishments extended to
those vying to run against
him.
Youve got Republican
presidential candidates whose
main economic policy pro-
posals is, well get rid of
the financial reforms that are
designed to prevent the abus-
es that got us into this mess in
the first place, Obama said.
That does not make sense to
the American people.
For all his exhortations for
Republican cooperation, the
presidents intended audience
was clearly the American vot-
ers who will decide whether
he gets another four years in
the Oval Office. He mounted
the kind of spirited offense
that disenchanted liberals
have often found lacking
in his first term, and that is
aimed at repairing his sag-
ging approval ratings.
Vice President Joe
Biden acknowledged the
Democratic tickets peril as
he spoke at the same forum
where Boehner appeared.
Americans are hurting
financially, many have stag-
nant wages and a significant
majority thinks the countrys
not moving in the right direc-
tion, the vice president vol-
unteered.
That is never a good place
to be going into an election,
Biden said. But he added that
hes counting on Americans
to exercise good judgment in
ultimately determining that
he and Obama are on the
right course.
Back in the East Room,
one questioner asked Obama
if he was worried that hed
lost his widely praised pow-
ers of persuasion.
Well, no, Obama said.
Then came a long dis-
course on the causes of cyni-
cism in American society and
the frustrations that people
are feeling.
The presidential finger of
blame was pointed, again, at
Republicans in Congress.
What the American
people saw is that Congress
didnt care not just what
I thought; they didnt care
about what the American
people thought, Obama said,
referring back to the frac-
tious debate over raising the
national debt limit.
Obama thinks Congress
should love his jobs bill

In the Waiting
Room ...
with Dr. Celeste Lopez
Angel on
my shoulder
There comes a time in
any parents life when we
recognize that we cant do
it alone. No matter how
careful we are, we find
that the only thing that
prevented something hor-
rible from happening to
our child was luck, help
from a stranger or divine
intervention.
When I was younger, my
parents always told us that
we had a guardian angel
that stayed with us to offer
guidance and assistance.
I always found that very
comforting. I find it espe-
cially comforting now that
I have a child. I am cer-
tain my son must have the
hardest working angel in
heaven. He probably has a
team of angels.
There have been sever-
al occasions when I have
been convinced that an
angel stepped in to save my
son from harm. I remem-
ber picking him up from
a day camp when he was
six. They had gone swim-
ming that day and I asked
him if he had had fun. He
told me that it had been
scary because he got caught
under the water by what I
understood to be the suc-
tion drain. He said he tried
to get away but he couldnt
and he couldnt breathe. It
was then that a beautiful
lady in a long red dress
reached into the water and
pulled me away from the
side. He was then able
to climb out of the water.
When he got out of the pool
the lady was gone. I have
no doubt an angel saved his
life that day.
On another occasion sev-
eral years ago, I was rush-
ing to get the lawn mowed
before it started to rain.
I had an earpiece in my
ear listening to music as I
mowed. Joe was playing
outside by the basketball
pole and I continued to mow
as quickly as I could as the
sky continued to darken.
Abutting my backyard is a
large open field, so I was
surprised to look up and see
an elderly gentleman wav-
ing to me at my back fence.
As soon as I stopped and
turned off the lawn mower
and pulled out my earpiece
to speak to him, I heard the
tornado siren going off. I
quickly turned to tell Joe
to come on because we had
to go inside. I then turned
back to thank the man for
the warning, but no one was
there. The field was now
completely empty.
We then rushed inside
the garage and as I closed
the door we heard a loud
crash as the basketball pole
that Joe had been playing
under seconds before was
blown over and crashed to
the ground.
Once again I realized my
son had been saved by an
angels intervention.
We are blessed that we
all have these angels who
step in when needed to pro-
tect us and keep us safe.
I cant prove that my son
wasnt saved by a kind,
very quick stranger or by a
beautiful woman who likes
to lounge by pools in her
evening gown but in my
heart I know that Gods
presence was there.
Being a parent is hard
enough. It is good to know
that we arent in it alone.
We have an angel on our
side.

BOWLING GREEN
The Stone Ridge Country
Club in Bowling Green is a fit-
ting course for the Division III
boys district golf meet, espe-
cially on a warm and beautiful
day like it was Thursday.
Perhaps that ended up
being a problem for some after
the last few weeks of rain and
cooling temperatures.
That was a thought of
Ottoville head coach Jim
Brown, who Big Green boys
team finished sixth with a
340.
With all the rain they have
had to deal with the last three
weeks, then to come out here
with the sun and temperatures
in the 80s, its much different.
You have to hydrate yourself
a lot more, when you didnt
need it as much recently,
Brown explained. Be that as
it may, if you finish in the
top four here as a team or as
an individual, you deserve to
advance to state. This is not a
hackers course; you need to
manage this course well, even
as nice as it was. Obviously,
each player felt he left some
shots out there but that will
happen. This is a great field
you see here.
Two Big Green seniors:
Kyle Karhoff (80) and Travis
Maag (83); finished their high
school careers on this sunny
and brilliant day.
Kyle shot an 80 and they
made the individual cut at
78. He was six over as he
teed off on 18 and asked me
what I thought he needed to
shoot to advance: I told him
at least par it and he ended up
double-bogey, Brown added.
The thing was he didnt back
down; he tried to go for it
and put it in the water. Travis
didnt always have the low
scores bug was still a leader
for us in our practices and in
matches. Seniors are always
tough to replace and its tough
for them to realize its over.
This is a great experi-
ence for all the kids we had
here, even if they didnt golf.
It leaves a bad taste in the
mouths of juniors but hope-
fully, it makes them want to
work to get rid of it. The
same is true of the one soph-
omore we had golfing here
today. Just being in this atmo-
sphere is good for the ones
who didnt participate. Were
going to need some of the
younger guys to step I and fill
that leadership void; we may
not be as good as we were this
year but I feel that with a good
offseason work ethic, we can
be a good team again.
Im just thankful that
Fremont St. Joe shot a 331; it
would have been tough for the
guys to second-guess them-
selves about missing a shot or
two here.
Junior Zach Weber
(87), sophomore Luke
Schimmoeller (90) and Derek
Schimmoeller (99) will be
back.
The Kalida crew of veter-
an head coach Ken Schnipke
ended up with a 350, good
for 10th.
After his crew won the
Auglaize Country Club
Sectional last Thursday with
a 312 on a windy, wet
course Schnipke looked to
nerves as the key to his teams
downfall this day.
I give a lot of credence
to that. I understand that this
is a tough course but I cannot
believe its 38 strokes tough-
er, he explained. We talked
about not getting into a hurry
today, especially if they had
a bad shot or a bad hole. You
cannot get out of your routine
most golfers have a pre-
shot routine that you need to
follow no matter the situation
and that happened from
the first shot. Then, as the bad
shots led to bad holes, instead
of slowing down and taking
our time, we golfed quicker.
That, to me, was all nerves
and is what cost us today.
Austin Horstman led
the way with an 85, Cody
Mathew and freshman Zach
Erhart shot 87s, Neil Recker a
91 and lone senior Eric Kahle
a 92.
We had great chemistry
this year; these guys hung
out together, going over to
each others houses to watch
football and stuff. That was
key to how we continued to
improve as the season wore
on, Schnipke added. Eric
is our only senior. Hes been
either our second or third man
all year.
We have four of our top
five back next year, includ-
ing our freshman, Zach. We
need to work on things during
the offseason. If the weather
cooperates, they can still golf.
When the weather turns bad,
there are still areas you can
work on, like the swing.
An eye injury to senior
third man Isaac Klausing
caused a late change in the St.
Johns lineup and head man
John Klausing.
That may have affected the
play of the Blue Jays, who
ended up 14th out of 18 crews
with a 355.
That injury forced me to
put (junior) Craig Klausing
into the number 3 spot; that
was tough for him. I wanted to
keep (senior) Eric (Bergfeld)
at 4 and (sophomore) Sean
(Flanagan) at 5 because they
are comfortable in those roles,
Coach Klausing explained.
That may have weighed on
the minds of the others.
At the same time, this was
the second year in a row and
third in the last four seasons
that we made it to districts. I
view it this way; 25 percent
of the teams in the state were
golfing today, while 75 per-
cent stayed home. That is the
perspective today.
Craig Klausing carded
a 101, while seniors Eric
Bergfeld (87) and Cody
Kundert (88) finished off
their scholastic careers. Junior
Nick Kayser shot a 92, as did
sophomore Sean Flanagan.
What killed us today was
the one bad hole; everybody
had one and you cant afford
to do that. For example, Sean
had a 10 on one hole on the
front nine he put two balls
in the water and still shot
a 45; if he cuts that in half,
which is possible and he
wasnt the only one to have
a hole like that theres a
potential 20 strokes off our
score, the coach added. I
credit that partly to nerves,
even though the seniors were
here last year and as freshman
and so was Nick last year.
The seniors have done a
great job in helping us con-
tinue to build this program;
They have represented St.
Johns well. It is something to
pass onto the guys that will be
coming back next fall.

BLUFFTON With
Lima Central Catholic set-
ting the pace in the Northwest
Conference girls soccer race,
Bluffton needed to down
Jefferson Thursday night at
Steinmetz Field to stay close.
A 3-0 shutout did the
trick.
We played hard but we
didnt execute tonight. Weve
talked and taught and coached
the girls all year but its to the
point of the season that they
have to do it, Jefferson coach
Lindsey Drerup said. Its the
little things that are really
hurting us, like maintaining
our intensity, communicating,
ball possession. We struggled
with that a lot tonight; we
didnt have many multiple
touches in one possession.
The Wildcats (3-8-1, 2-2-1
NWC) had the first good look
of the night at the 38-minute
mark when senior Elizabeth
Schoskers shot from the right
side was nabbed by Bluffton
sophomore keeper Abbey
Heslep (5 saves versus 5 shots
on-goal).
The Lady Pirates (5-9-0,
4-1-0 NWC) got on board at
35:51. Junior Karli Leugers
made a nice cross pass from
the right side to classmate
Megan Dulle in the middle;
her 12-yarder slid through
the fingers of Jefferson senior
netminder Cassidy Bevington
(13 saves versus 16
shots on-goal) and
into the right side of
the cords for a 1-0
lead.
That lead stood
up the rest of the half
as Bevington made
three big stops: at 30:05,
when junior Alexis Lugibihls
6-yard shot off a ricochet hit
the left post and the keeper
got the orb; at 27:07, when
Bevington denied a top-of-
the-circle shot by Dulle; and
at 8:04, when Dulles 22-yard
free kick was stopped.
The Wildcats missed two
chances to tie it as Heslep
denied a 17-yarder from
Delphos freshman Kylee
Haehn (33:36) and a corner
kick from the left side by
Haehn was knocked away by
a defender at 19:39.
We had a big win
Monday over Riverdale and
a good week of practice;
were starting to play well
as a team and complement
each other, Bluffton coach
Joel Steinmetz noted. What
our biggest improvement has
been in working well as a unit
between the offense, midfield
and defense. Were
supporting each other
and were not having
those big gaps between
the layers for an oppo-
nent to exploit.
Bluffton got a
major dose of good
luck at 35:51 of the second
half. On a sequence in front of
the Jefferson goal, a defender
tried to head the ball out of
harms way but instead, it
went backward and over the
top of Bevington, settling into
the net for a 2-0 score.
Schosker again tried to get
her Wildcats on the board at
34:47 but her 22-yard free
kick from the right wing was
deflected away by the keeper.
Bevington kept it a 2-goal
deficit at 9:10 when she
deflected away a 15-yard laser
from the middle by sopho-
more Jill Steinmetz.
However, she could
not at 8:08 as the Pirates
depth began to wear down
the Wildcats. Off a steal,
Steinmetz delivered a pass
inside to junior Rachel Yoder;
her top-of-the-circle rocket
when high to the middle and
just got in under the crossbar
for a 3-0 edge.
The Wildcats last chance
to dent the scoreboard was
denied as freshman Bailey
Millers attempt from the right
outside corner was stopped
by sophomore keeper Emily
Schwager.
We tried a different for-
mation at the start that I like
because its more offensive-
minded. However, with our
lack of possession, I had to
switch out of it, Drerup
added. We became more
defensive-minded again,
which has been our way the
last few years. We were too
tentative too often, which may
be a reflection of that mindset.
Were also dealing with a lack
of bench, so we do get tired.

WildKittens sneak
by Lady Jays
BATH TOWNSHIP
Both teams had plenty of
shots on-goal but only one
got through as Bath edged
St. Johns 1-0 in girls soc-
cer action under the lights of
Bath Stadium.
The WildKittens (7-3-2)
had 29 shots on-goal, forc-
ing sophomore goalkeeper
Madison Kreeger to play
a brilliant match with 23
saves. The Lady Blue Jays
(3-11) garnered 19 attempts
on-frame, with Bath keeper
Audrey Brandon registering
14 stops.
After a scoreless tie the
first 40 minutes, it came down
to a tally at 13:05 of the sec-
ond half when Taylor Dackin
got a 1-on-1 opportunity with
Creeger and went low and left
past the diving netminder for
the score.
For todays game we
knew we were coming in as
an underdog versus a Division
II big school with a program
that is having a good season;
they have a lot of diverse tal-
ent. We came in with the we
have nothing to lose attitude,
that we were to play our best
game of the season and leave
it all on the field, St. Johns
coach John Munoz noted.
We knew Bath was a very
physical team, so we had to
play them physical. We knew
they were fast, so we knew we
had to stay on our toes to keep
up with them. Once again,
our defensive line stepped up
and played an amazing game;
we had a starter out sick and
had to move Alyssa Gable
from the middle to help and
she really stepped up to the
position.
Baths defense and goalie
made that score stand up.
Madison had some good
saves tonight. Our midfield
did a good job controlling
the ball and feeding our for-
wards, Munoz added. Our
forwards did a good job on
trying to beat the speed in
Baths back line, utilizing the
crosses and taking shots on
goal. Overall, I would say
this was one of one of our
best, most intense games we
have played so far this sea-
son. Things are looking up for
tournament time.
St. Johns hosts Ottoville 5

Pirates sweep
Lady Wildcats
DELPHOS Bluffton
invaded Jefferson High School
for a Northwest Conference
volleyball matchup Thursday
night and broomed away the
Lady Wildcats 25-19, 25-13,
25-6.
As the scores indicated,
the Lady Wildcats (1-15, 0-8
NWC) battled the Pirates for
the first two sets and then
struggled in the finale.
We played well in the
first set. We were right there
only down 13-11 but
then they went on a run
toward the end and out it
away, Jefferson coach Joy
Early noted. The second set,
we also played pretty well.
Again, they went on a late run
and that sealed it. After that,
we kind of let down.
The hosts were led by
Brooke Culp (5 assists; 2
kills), Katie Goergens (9/10
hitting, 4 kills) and Kamie
Pulford (3 digs).
Overall, we didnt dig
well. That was our downfall
tonight, Early added. Its
more a mental thing now; I
try to remind them of how
much progress we have made
but its hard to keep the atti-

DELPHOS The St. Johns volleyball team played host
to the Versailles Tigers Thursday night in Midwestern Athletic
Conference action at Robert A. Arnzen Gymnasium.
The Blue Jays hung with the visitors in the first two sets of
the night; however, the Tigers proved to be too much in the
contest and took the sweep 25-20, 25-20, 25-12.
Set one was back and forth in the early going with both
teams making some easy mistakes at the net that gave each
other some easy points. However, Versailles would find
their advantage at the net very useful and make the Jays try
to overcome the height of the Tigers up front. Versailles
went on a 7- 1 run to make it 17-10 and they knew what
they needed to do with the lead from there. The Blue Jays
struggled communicating towards the end of the first set and
it is cost them in the end.
Set two of the night was similar to set one. It was back
and forth early with St. Johns doing a much better job of
defending the net and being able to control the front line of
the Tigers on their service. Shelby Reindel led the Jays on
the night with 10 kills and four blocks. The Tigers went on
another roll at the end of the set and led 23-19 with the Jays
hanging in there. However, the Jays failed to make the come-
back and the Tigers went on to win the last two points and
take the second set for a 2-0 match lead.
Things are finally starting to come together for us and we
are looking better overall as a team. I didnt think that their
height was as much as a factor as it looked; we just need to
learn to finish at the end of the first and second games, Lady
Blue Jay coach Kelly Sterling noted.
The third and final set of the night was all Versailles. St.
Johns struggled early as the Tigers jumped out to a 17-9
lead. The Jays had trouble returning serves and again stop-
ping the front line of the Tigers from setting up easy point
opportunities. The Tigers went on an 8-3 run to take the last
set and the sweep.
We just need to start believing in ourselves that we have
come a long way from the beginning of the season and we
are able to win in the postseason, Sterling added. We have
had a lot of injuries this year and some of our girls are going
to hopefully be ready by the tournament, which will help our
team out a lot.
The Versailles junior varsity team also took the victory by
scores of 23-25, 25-16, 25-17.
With the loss, the Jays fall to 3-16 (0-7 MAC) on the year
and will travel to Convoy Saturday morning to take on the
Knights in non-conference action with a JV start time of 10
a,m.

KALIDA Kalida hosted
the fourth-ranked (Division
IV) and unbeaten Leipsic
Vikings Thursday night for a
Putnam County League vol-
leyball matchup and lost in
four hard sets: 25-17, 17-25,
24-15, 25-5.
Leipsic remains unbeaten
with a record of 17-0 and 6-0
in the PCL, while Kalida falls
to 12-7 and 2-2 in the PCL.
The first set came tough
for the Vikings as Kelly
Nadler had three blocks
and two kills, while Amber
Gerdeman had three kills and
a block to lead their effort.
The Vikings gained an early
10-4 lead with the help of
Gerdeman and a 20-10 lead
with a Nadler block.
The Lady Wildcats didnt
give up as they rallied back
to come within 23-17 off a
Haley McIntyre kill but the
Vikings big front row led
Leipsic to the first-set vic-
tory.
Kalida bounced back in
the second set with the help
of McIntyre, who had two
blocks and three kills in the
second set. Two aces by
Kayla Siefker gave Kalida a
commanding 22-14 lead and
two mis-hits by the Vikings
tied the match at one set
apiece.
I thought we did some
nice things, particularly in
game two, but I dont think
we played that well, Kalida
coach Jeremy Stober said.
Leipsic is a very nice team
and they are very dynamic.
The fourth-ranked Lady
Vikings came out strong
in the third set with four
kills and three blocks by
Gerdeman to give her team a
quick 10-4 lead. Libero Molly
Ellerbrock had a few nice
digs to help her team take a
20-11 lead but the Wildcats
refused to give up and pulled
within 23-16 before Leipsic
put the set away on a kill
from Lyndsay Krinke.
The fourth set was an easy
victory for the Vikings as
Nadler led her team with four
kills while Siefker was out
for the fourth set due to an
illness.
A lot of things we talked
about during the week that
we needed to do to be suc-
cessful tonight with a team
like Lepisic, we didnt do,
Stober added. We just had
too many mistakes and too
many unforced errors.
Kalida was led by McIntye
with 12 kills and four blocks.
Brandi Merschman added
seven kills and two blocks,
Elizabeth Turnwald six kills,
Julia Vandermark 15 digs and
Amy Smith 14 digs. Siefker
(3 aces) and Halie Zenz (14
assists) added four kills each
and Alexis Decker 14 assists.
In the first, third and
fourth games, we were serv-
ing tough and getting aces but
the second game we just lost
momentum and didnt know
how to get it back, Leipsic
coach Chelsea Rogers said. I
give a lot of credit to Kalida.
There were some girls that
stepped up defensively big
time and the kills that nor-
mally would go through
didnt for us in game two.
We had to find other ways to
get our attacks tonight and I
think our girls did a good job
of that.
Nadler and Gerdeman
led the Vikings with 12 kills
each, while Gerdeman had
five blocks and Nadler four.
Setter Emily Gerten dished
out 31 assists while Ellerbrock
had a team-best 19 digs.
Leipsic will host Jefferson
Saturday and McComb on
Monday, a team they lost
to in the district finals last
year, while Kalida takes on
Columbus Grove.

NEW YORK The Detroit
Tigers can believe anything is
possible.
They beat the New York
Yankees in Game 5. At Yankee
Stadium. Escaping jam after
jam.
Doug Fister gutted through
five mostly tricky innings to
form an unlikely trio of stars.
Don Kelly sent Ivan Novas
sixth pitch of the night into the
right-field seats. Delmon Young
deposited Novas seventh pitch
into the left-field stands.
From there, the Tigers
hung on and worried until Jose
Valverde powered the final pitch
past Alex Rodriguez.
The victory sent the Tigers
to the ALCS for the first time
since 2006, the year they also
eliminated the Yankees in the
first round.
Fister escaped a bases-loaded,
1-out jam in the fourth. Grimacing
and breathing hard, Joaquin
Benoit walked Mark Teixeira
to force home the Yankees sec-
ond run before striking out Nick
Swisher with the bases loaded to
end the seventh.
There were more gasps from
a new Yankee Stadium record
crowd of 50,960 and yes, both
benches, too in the eighth
when Derek Jeter hit an inning-
ending flyout to Kelly just in
front of the right-field wall with
a man on.
Valverde finished with the
only 1-2-3 inning for Detroit
after the first, getting his second
save of the series and remaining
perfect in 51 chances this year.
New York used six reliev-
ers, pulling Nova after the sec-
ond. CC Sabathia made the first
relief appearance of his profes-
sional career after 421 starts and
allowed an RBI single to for-
mer Cleveland teammate Victor
Martinez that made it 3-0 in the
fifth.
tude up when you go down
two sets; its easy to let the
effort fall. We need to win
a first set and see what that
does.
The Wildcats are at Leipsic
for a 10 a.m. match (junior
varsity start).

Lady Musketeers goose-egg
Black Knights
F O R T
JENNINGS The
Fort Jennings girls
soccer team showed
they will be a team
to be reckoned with
as the tournament
draw is Sunday in
crushing previous-
ly-unbeaten Van
Buren 6-0 Thursday at the
Outdoor Athletic Complex in
Jennings.
The Lady Musketeers
(10-2-1) received a hat trick
from junior forward Macy
Schroeder, contributing an
assist along the way, along
with two tallies from sopho-
more forward Ashley Gable
and another from junior for-
ward Marissa Mesker.
The Orange and Black out-
shot the Lady Black Knights
(11-1-1) 12-3, with senior
goalkeeper Kelsey Von
Lehmden garnering three
saves.
We con-
trolled the game
from the start
,winning the
50/50 balls and
took Van Buren
out of their game.
In the second half,
we only scored two goals: one
at 27:09 and the other with 7
seconds left, Jennings men-
tor Rodney Wagner noted. I
felt we sat back a little and
played more defense and tried
not letting them score. The
girls were up for the game
with it being Senior Night;
I think we played one of the
best all-round games that we
played this season.
Van Buren won
the junior varsity
match 1-0.
The Lady
Musketeers visit St.
Marys Memorial 7
p.m. Monday.

Memorial Stadium.
Taylor Williamson fed
McKenna Scott for the first
tally at 13:03 of the first half.
Sloane Zachrich scored an
insurance goal at 6:03 of the
second half.
Continental outshot the
Lady Green 13-11: Lauren
Kramer grabbed
six saves for the
Green and Gold
and Leva Weller
seven for the
visitors.
The Lady

7-5.

Lancers sweep Bearcats

Thursday night but it was
anything but easy as invad-
ing Lincolnview edged
host Spencerville 25-21,

Leading the visitors were
Becca Adams (68/70 setting,

Doner (25/26 hitting, 14
kills), Carley Springer (14/15
hitting, 8 kills),

The mai n proposed

Dear Sara: Im searching
for a press in which to
combine all those little bath
soap pieces that accumulate
in the shower soap dish over
time. They are too small
to use individually, but
combined would work quite
well. -- P. Ritter, email
Dear P. Ritter: Ive seen
all types of soap sliver
savers. Some can be put into
a mitt, mesh bag or loofah
(you can even use a clean
sock or section of panty
hose). You can save slivers
in a container with a pump
(just add water and a marble
and shake for liquid soap).
Ive seen a mold before, but
cant find a manufacturer
or distributor at this time.
However, you can use a
small round or rectanglular
plastic storage container
(with a lid) and press each
leftover sliver into the mold
by hand until the mold is
filled and dried to create a
new bar. You could make
a large bar using an old
hamburger patty press. A
muffin tin would work as
well. Some people simply
press slivers onto a fresh bar
of soap. Both bars should be
wet and sometimes scoring
the fresh bar helps the sliver
to adhere. You can grate
slivers and save them until
you have enough to create
a decent-sized ball, then
simply moisten and hand-
shape them. I know people
melt slivers in the microwave
or in a double boiler, but that
seems like a lot of work to
make a new bar.
Dear Sara: I used the
recipe to make cookies out
of a package of cake mix,
with excellent results! Now
I want to do the same
with a packaged pumpkin
bread mix. Our family
loves pumpkin cookies,
but theyre too hard to
make from scratch. Any
suggestions? -- Joanne,
email
Dear Joanne: You can use
a quick bread mix to make
cookies. Pillsbury has an
example recipe for Pumpkin
Raisin and Ginger Cookies.
Ingredients:
1 (14-ounce) package
Pillsbury(r) Pumpkin Quick
Bread & Muffin Mix
1/2 cup cinnamon-
covered raisins or plain
raisins
1/4 cup chopped
crystallized ginger
1/2 cup butter or
margarine, melted
1 egg
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Directions:
Heat oven to 350 F.
In large bowl, combine
quick bread mix, raisins
and ginger; mix well. Add
butter and egg; stir until
dry particles are moistened.
(Mixture may be crumbly.)
In small bowl, combine
sugar and cinnamon; mix
well. Shape dough into 1
1/2-inch balls; roll in sugar-
cinnamon mixture. Place 2
inches apart on ungreased
cookie sheets. Bake at 350 F
for 12 to 15 minutes or until
cookies are set. Remove
from cookie sheets.
High Altitude (3,500-
6,500 feet):
Add 2 tablespoons flour
to dry mix. Bake at 375
F for 10 to 13 minutes. --

Dear Sara: How long
after the expiration date
can people in the military
use coupons? I remember
people being able to use
them for many months after
they expired. -- Shoiji, New
Jersey
Dear Shoiji: They can
be used for six months
after the expiration date by
overseas military. According
to commissaries.com,
commissaries accept most
types of coupons as part
of purchase transactions in
accordance with the terms
and conditions stated on
the coupon. Commissaries
cannot accept in-house
coupons issued by
commercial grocery stores
or supermarkets. Patrons
who wish to use coupons as
part of a purchase transaction
must buy the item(s)
indicated on a coupon, and
-- except in foreign overseas
areas -- must use a coupon
prior to or on the expiration
date stated on a coupon.

Order of Eagl es an -

ing on proposed bylaws
and house rules changes
at their meeting on Octo-
ber 10th, 2011. The meet-
ing will start at 7:30pm.
The mai n proposed
changes will be to the ini-

food products. Other mi-
nor changes are also be-
ing proposed. Male mem-
bers are encouraged to at-

Dear Sara: Im searching
for a press in which to
combine all those little bath
soap pieces that accumulate
in the shower soap dish over
time. They are too small
to use individually, but
combined would work quite
well. -- P. Ritter, email
Dear P. Ritter: Ive seen
all types of soap sliver
savers. Some can be put into
a mitt, mesh bag or loofah
(you can even use a clean
sock or section of panty
hose). You can save slivers
in a container with a pump
(just add water and a marble
and shake for liquid soap).
Ive seen a mold before, but
cant find a manufacturer
or distributor at this time.
However, you can use a
small round or rectanglular
plastic storage container
(with a lid) and press each
leftover sliver into the mold
by hand until the mold is
filled and dried to create a
new bar. You could make
a large bar using an old
hamburger patty press. A
muffin tin would work as
well. Some people simply
press slivers onto a fresh bar
of soap. Both bars should be
wet and sometimes scoring
the fresh bar helps the sliver
to adhere. You can grate
slivers and save them until
you have enough to create
a decent-sized ball, then
simply moisten and hand-
shape them. I know people
melt slivers in the microwave
or in a double boiler, but that
seems like a lot of work to
make a new bar.
Dear Sara: I used the
recipe to make cookies out
of a package of cake mix,
with excellent results! Now
I want to do the same
with a packaged pumpkin
bread mix. Our family
loves pumpkin cookies,
but theyre too hard to
make from scratch. Any
suggestions? -- Joanne,
email
Dear Joanne: You can use
a quick bread mix to make
cookies. Pillsbury has an
example recipe for Pumpkin
Raisin and Ginger Cookies.
Ingredients:
1 (14-ounce) package
Pillsbury(r) Pumpkin Quick
Bread & Muffin Mix
1/2 cup cinnamon-
covered raisins or plain
raisins
1/4 cup chopped
crystallized ginger
1/2 cup butter or
margarine, melted
1 egg
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Directions:
Heat oven to 350 F.
In large bowl, combine
quick bread mix, raisins
and ginger; mix well. Add
butter and egg; stir until
dry particles are moistened.
(Mixture may be crumbly.)
In small bowl, combine
sugar and cinnamon; mix
well. Shape dough into 1
1/2-inch balls; roll in sugar-
cinnamon mixture. Place 2
inches apart on ungreased
cookie sheets. Bake at 350 F
for 12 to 15 minutes or until
cookies are set. Remove
from cookie sheets.
High Altitude (3,500-
6,500 feet):
Add 2 tablespoons flour
to dry mix. Bake at 375
F for 10 to 13 minutes. --

Dear Sara: How long
after the expiration date
can people in the military
use coupons? I remember
people being able to use
them for many months after
they expired. -- Shoiji, New
Jersey
Dear Shoiji: They can
be used for six months
after the expiration date by
overseas military. According
to commissaries.com,
commissaries accept most
types of coupons as part
of purchase transactions in
accordance with the terms
and conditions stated on
the coupon. Commissaries
cannot accept in-house
coupons issued by
commercial grocery stores
or supermarkets. Patrons
who wish to use coupons as
part of a purchase transaction
must buy the item(s)
indicated on a coupon, and
-- except in foreign overseas
areas -- must use a coupon
prior to or on the expiration
date stated on a coupon.

Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol
Caregiver
unsupported
by family
Dear Annie: My wife,
Elizabeth, is wheelchair-
bound with multiple sclero-
sis and needs constant care,
which I have been doing
alone for years.
Our family members
become irritated when we
dont attend birthdays, wed-
dings or other family gath-
erings. They show
no concern for
the massive effort
on my part to get
my beautiful wife
up and around.
Its always about
them. When I had
bypass surgery,
only my mother
and one niece and
her husband vis-
ited while I was
in the hospital. Its
a me, me, me
world for them.
These relatives think all
gatherings should be at my
house with me doing all the
work. They sit at the table
watching me prepare, cook
and serve the meal while
simultaneously attending
to my wifes needs. I have
explained that I will no lon-
ger wait on them.
Neither side of the fam-
ily has offered any assistance
or relief and it aggravates
the bejeevers out of me that
they think Im some kind of
spoilsport. They say I am
anti-family. As my wifes
disease progresses, this is
only going to get worse.
I have attempted to talk to
the relatives, but their needs
always supersede mine. Do
you have any suggestions?
-- Maine Husband
Dear Maine: Your devo-
tion to your wife is lovely,
but your relatives apparently
arent willing to put forth the
energy to deal with your end-
less day-to-day needs. You
cannot count on them to come
through for you, so please do
whatever is necessary to cope.
Contact the National Family
Caregivers Association (nfca-
cares.org) and the National
Multiple Sclerosis Society
(nationalmssociety.org) for
support.
And if you choose to host
a family gathering, do not
hesitate to delegate chores in
advance. Have siblings bring
specific food items. Assign
clean-up duties to the niec-
es and nephews. Tell them
you enjoy seeing the family,
but gatherings at your home
necessitate that everyone
pitch in.
Dear Annie: My prob-
lem is a so-called friend who
believes shes an expert on
everything. She sucks the oxy-
gen out of every conversation
and has alienated her fam-
ily and most of her friends.
Talking to her is downright
painful. She has said to me,
Janet ended our phone con-
versation so abruptly it was
almost as if she hung up on
me. She is clueless.
She also refers to me as her
best friend, which I am not.
I have best friends and know
the difference. Those special
relationships are filled with
give and take and have been
nurtured for decades. I have
known Ms. Know-it-All for
two years and am
more tolerant than
most, but I think
Im done.
I am not a mean
person, and not
returning her phone
calls seems cruel.
How do I end this
relationship? --
California
D e a r
California: This is
one of those situ-
ations where you
have nothing to
lose by being honest, and it
might do some good. Tell
Ms. Know-it-All that her
need to impress everyone by
claiming expertise in every
subject gives the impres-
sion that she is insecure and
makes conversation exhaust-
ing. Be polite and apologetic
for hurting her feelings, and
explain that you thought she
should know so she can work
on it.
Dear Annie: Suffering
Soon-To-Be Ex made the
mistake of joking that he
wished hed grabbed his
wifes sister. Now his wife
wont forgive him. I can
relate to his wife.
My husband and I sat
with a large group of friends
one evening, and my hus-
band made the comment
that he had more fun when
I wasnt there. It ruined
the weekend not only for
me, but for our friends,
as well. I will remember
that comment and carry the
hurt for a very long time.

SATURDAY, OCT. 8, 2011
Certain factors or elements that
will pass your way in the coming
months and that are meaningless to
others could be great contributors to
your success. Watch for the unusual,
discarded and forgotten to provide
some tasty opportunities.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) --
Usually it can be more effective to use
a soft sell, but if this isnt the case for
you at this point dont hesitate to assert
your points and/or position. Go for the
mattresses, and youll end up quite
comfy.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)
-- Working in close conjunction with
a cohort can make things easier for
both of you, but if you have to do an
assignment all on your own, dont fret.
Youll do a bang-up job.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-
Dec. 21) -- Even if you get off to a
tardy start, youll still be capable of
accomplishing all that you want to
get done. You should be remarkably
efficient and productive.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
-- As much as you may be tempted to
burn the candle at both ends, it may
not be such a good idea to do so. Your
energy, initiative and luck may all have
their limitations, and besides, youre
low on wax.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) --
Tasks that are too difficult or more than
anyone wants to handle could all be
dumped in your lap. Yet itll be exactly
these kinds of jobs that put you in such
a good light with the powers that be.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20)
-- Listen carefully when conversing
with friends. There is a good chance
that some kind of information could
be mentioned in passing that is
meaningless to others but very valuable
to you.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
-- By utilizing your smarts in all your
endeavors, both in business-related
issues as well as personal ones, this can
be one of your more successful days.
Keep your gray cells a-popping.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) --
Just because a difficult objective isnt
achieved on your first try doesnt mean
you should chuck the old terry cloth.
Your resolve and persistence could pay
off.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- By
doing what you said you would do, you
will show others just how trustworthy
and reliable you really are. Its our
mode of behavior that wins us the
respect of our peers.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) --
Should you hear through the rumor mill
that a pal of yours is feeling neglected
and forgotten, make the necessary time
to assuage this fretful friend. Chums
are too valuable to lose.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Even if
you see yourself as an underdog, dont
let up on your efforts to accomplish
your goals. You should do rather well,
even in competitive developments, by
never giving up.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) --
If you want things to work out in a
positive manner, you must remain
confident of being able to reach your
goals, even if you are challenged
beyond what you thought. Youre
luckier than you suspect.

Three women share Nobel Peace Prize
By KARL RITTER and
BJOERN H. AMLAND
Associated Press
OSLO, Norway Africas first demo-
cratically elected female president, a Liberian
campaigner against rape and a woman who
stood up to Yemens autocratic regime won the
Nobel Peace Prize on today in recognition of
the importance of womens rights in the spread
of global peace.
The 10 million kronor ($1.5 million) award
was split three ways between Liberian President
Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, womens rights activist
Leymah Gbowee from the same African coun-
try and democracy activist Tawakkul Karman
of Yemen the first Arab woman to win the
prize.
The chairman of the Norwegian Nobel
Committee told The Associated Press that
Karmans award should be seen as a signal that
both women and Islam have important roles to
play in the uprisings known as the Arab Spring,
the wave of anti-authoritarian revolts that have
challenged rulers across the Arab world.
The Arab Spring cannot be successful with-
out including the women in it, Jagland said.
He said Karman, 32, belongs to a Muslim
movement with links to the Muslim Brotherhood,
the Islamist group which in the West is per-
ceived as a threat to democracy. He added that
I dont believe that. There are many signals
that that kind of movement can be an important
part of the solution.
Yemen is an extremely conservative soci-
ety but a feature of the revolt there has been a
prominent role for women who turned out for
protests in large numbers. The uprising has,
however, been one of the least successful, fail-
ing to unseat President Ali Abdullah Saleh as
the country descends into failed state status and
armed groups take increasingly central roles.
In Libyas and Syrias uprisings, women have
been largely absent. And while there were many
women protesters in Egypts revolution, few
had key leadership positions.
Karman is a mother of three who heads the
human rights group Women Journalists without
Chains. She has been a leading figure in orga-
nizing the protests against Saleh that kicked off
in late January.
I am very very happy about this prize,
Karman told The Associated Press. I give the
prize to the youth of revolution in Yemen and
the Yemeni people.
Citing the Arab Spring alone could have
been problematic for the committee. Libya
descended into civil war that led to NATO mili-
tary intervention. Egypt and Tunisia are still in
turmoil. Hardliners are holding onto power in
Yemen and Syria and a Saudi-led force crushed
the uprising in Bahrain, leaving an uncertain
record for the Arab protest movement.
Jagland told AP it was difficult to find a
leader of the Arab Spring revolts, especially
among the many bloggers who played a role in
energizing the protests, and noted that Karmans
work started before the Arab uprisings.
It was not easy for us to say to pick one
from Egypt or pick one from Tunisia, because
there were so many, he said. And we did not
want to say that one was more important than
the others.
Karman started her activism long before the
revolution took place in Tunisia and Egypt. She
has been a very courageous woman in Yemen
for quite along time, Jagland said.
No woman had won the prize since 2004,
when the committee honored Wangari Maathai
of Kenya, who died last month at 71. 2004 was
also the last year the prize went to an African.
Liberia was ravaged by civil wars for years
until 2003. The drawn-out conflict that began
in 1989 left about 200,000 people dead and
displaced half the countrys population of 3
million. The country created to settle freed
American slaves in 1847 is still struggling to
maintain a fragile peace with the help of U.N.
peacekeepers.
Sirleaf, 72, has a masters degree in public
administration from Harvard University and
has held top regional jobs at the World Bank,
the United Nations and within the Liberian
government.
In elections in 1997, she ran second to
warlord-turned-president Charles Taylor, who
many claimed was voted into power by a fear-
ful electorate. Though she lost by a landslide,
she rose to national prominence and earned the
nickname, Iron Lady. She went on to became
Africas first democratically elected female
leader in 2005.
Sirleaf was seen as a reformer and peace-
maker in Liberia when she took office. She is
running for re-election this month and oppo-
nents in the presidential campaign have accused
her of buying votes and using government funds
to campaign. Her camp denies the charges. The
election is Tuesday.
This gives me a stronger commitment to
work for reconciliation, Sirleaf said today
from her home in Monrovia. Liberians should
be proud.
Buttons from her presidential campaign say
it all: Ellen Shes Our Man.
Jagland said the committee didnt consider
the upcoming election in Liberia when it made
its decision.
We cannot look to that domestic consid-
eration, he said. We have to look at Alfred
Nobels will, which says that the prize should
go to the person that has done the most for peace
in the world.
African and international luminaries wel-
comed the news. Many had gathered in Cape
Town, South Africa on today to celebrate Nobel
peace laureate Archbishop Desmond Tutus
80th birthday.
Who? Johnson Sirleaf? The president
of Liberia? Oooh, said Tutu, who won
the peace prize in 1984 for his nonviolent
campaign against white racist rule in South
Africa. She deserves it many times over.
Shes brought stability to a place that was
going to hell.
U2 frontman Bono who has figured in
peace prize speculation in previous years
called Sirlaf an extraordinary woman, a force
of nature and now she has the world recognize
her in this great, great, great way.
NYC cant oversee NYPD spy
unit, according to councilman
Police: Missing babys parents stop cooperating
By SAMANTHA GROSS and MATT APUZZO
Associated Press
NEW YORK Nobody in New York government has the
expertise and authority to oversee the police departments secret
intelligence operations, a leading city councilman says, raising
questions about what checks exist on a department that has
infiltrated mosques and subjected entire Muslim neighborhoods
to surveillance and scrutiny.
Peter Vallone, the chairman of the councils Public Safety
Committee, said the council doesnt have the power to subpoena
the NYPD for its intelligence records. And even if it did, he said
the operations are too sophisticated for city officials to effec-
tively oversee. More oversight is likely needed, he said, perhaps
from the federal government.
That portion of the police departments work should prob-
ably be looked at by a federal monitor, he said after Police
Commissioner Raymond Kelly testified Thursday at City Hall.
If the council cannot oversee the intelligence division, its
unclear who can. The NYPDs intelligence unit is a politically
sensitive topic for Washington, which has invested more than
$1.6 billion in the department since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist
attacks. Congress and Obama administration officials say they
also have no authority to monitor the day-to-day intelligence
operations of the NYPD.
Since 9/11, the department has grown into one of the nations
most aggressive domestic intelligence agencies, one that has
monitored all aspects of Muslim life in New York and surround-
ing states.
An Associated Press investigation revealed that a secret
squad known as the Demographic Unit sent plainclothes officers
called rakers to eavesdrop in Muslim communities, helping
police build databases of where people shop, eat, work and pray.
Police documents show authorities scrutinized Muslim neigh-
borhoods, often not because of accusations of wrongdoing but
because of residents ethnicity.
The departments tactics appear to run counter to many of
President Barack Obamas core strategies for combatting terror-
ism, but the administration has repeatedly sidestepped questions
about them.
Kelly told council members that the departments internal
accountability was rigorous and ensured that civil rights were
being protected. And he said everything the department does is
in line with court rules, known as the Handschu guidelines, that
limit how and why police can collect intelligence before theres
evidence of a crime.
The value we place on privacy rights and other constitu-
tional protections is part of what motivates the work of coun-
terterrorism, he said. It would be counterproductive in the
extreme if we violated those freedoms in the course of our work
to defend New York.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. The parents of a missing 10-month-
old Missouri girl are no longer cooperating with investigators,
police said late Thursday an assertion the family quickly and
firmly denied.
At an evening news conference, Kansas City police spokes-
man Steve Young said Jeremy Irwin and Deborah Bradley
stopped cooperating with authorities Thursday. The couple
had been working with police since the disappearance of their
daughter, Lisa, who the parents say was snatched from her crib
sometime late Monday or early Tuesday.
Tonight, they decided to stop talking to detectives, and I
dont have to illustrate how that affects the investigation. That
speaks for itself, Young said.
Relatives of the couple later called their own news conference,
where a sister of Irwin read a statement saying we have never
stopped cooperating with police.
Weve been cooperative from day one, and we continue to
assist the police with the investigation, the statement.
Young also said the parents claim that whoever took their
daughter also stole their cellphones hadnt produced any leads.
And he reiterated that investigators still have no suspects.
Asked after the news conference what would happen to the
investigation without the parents cooperation, Young said he
could not comment.
The sister said the parents would make a statement sometime
today; she did not take any questions Thursday night. A call to police
for reaction to the familys statement was not immediately returned.
During a tearful news conference Thursday morning, Irwin
and Bradley had described how they frantically searched their
home for any sign of their daughter after her father came home
from work early Tuesday and she wasnt in her crib. They said
they found an open window, an unlocked front door and house
lights blazing, and later discovered that their three cellphones
were gone.
They told us three cellphones were missing. It hasnt pro-
duced anything we can go forward with, Young said. The
investigation is directed and handled by hard information.
Investigators focused their search Thursday on a heavily
wooded area, sewers and an industrial park. About 100 officers
were scouring the industrial area and adjacent woods, while oth-
ers were lifting drain covers and crawling inside.
But after the evening news conference, police spokesman
Darin Snapp sent out a news release saying authorities believed
they had done everything they could regarding geographic
searches and were shutting down the command post about a
mile from the home. Snapp said police will continue tracking
leads as we get them or develop additional information.
Earlier in the day, a cousin of the babys mother said Lisas
parents have given police more than a dozen names as they try
to think of potential suspects or people who paid especially close
attention to the child.
Were scraping for anything, anyone who was at the house,
who looked at her strange. Anything, said Mike Lerette.
Irwin said he immediately knew something was wrong when
he returned home from work about 4 a.m. Tuesday. He checked
on their other children, 6-year-old and 8-year-old boys, then went
to Lisas room and discovered her gone.
I said, What do you mean she is not in her crib? said
Bradley, who had checked on her daughter about five hours ear-
lier. I just knew, you know, that something was really wrong.
We ran around the house and screaming for her, but she was
nowhere.
Bradley said thats when they discovered the phones had been
taken, guessing it was to delay them from calling police. As she
hugged her crying sons, Bradley said, Irwin checked outside and
eventually contacted police.
All I can think of is that maybe somebody wanted a baby,
she said.
Lisa has blue eyes and blonde hair, is 30 inches tall and weighs
around 28 pounds. She was last seen wearing purple shorts and a
purple shirt with pictures of white kittens.
Feds to step over state rights to
crackdown on medical marijuana
Quarry shooting suspect killed
By LISA LEFF
Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO Federal prosecutors in California
are cracking down on some of the states medical marijuana
dispensaries, signaling an escalation of the ongoing conflict
between the U.S. government and the nations burgeoning
medical marijuana industry.
The four U.S. attorneys in California, the first state to pass a
law legalizing marijuana use for patients with doctors recom-
mendations, have scheduled a joint news conference for today
where they plan to outline actions targeting the sale, distribu-
tion and cultivation of marijuana.
Their offices refused to provide details in advance what
moves the officials are taking or how many of the states hun-
dreds of storefront pot shops would be affected. But at least 16
pot shops or their landlords received letters this week warning
face they would face criminal charges and confiscation of their
property if the dispensaries do not shut down in 45 days.
The move comes a little more than two months after the
Obama administration toughened its stand on medical mari-
juana. For two years before that, federal officials had indicated
they would not move aggressively against dispensaries in com-
pliance with laws in the 16 states where pot is legal for people
with doctors recommendations.
The Department of Justice issued a policy memo to federal
prosecutors in late June stating that marijuana dispensaries
and licensed growers in states with medical marijuana laws
could face prosecution for violating federal drug and money-
laundering laws. The effort to shutter California dispensaries
appeared to be the most far-reaching effort so far to put that
guidance into action.
Greg Anton, a lawyer who represents dispensary Marin
Alliance for Medical Marijuana, said its landlord received an
extremely threatening letter Wednesday invoking a federal
law that imposes additional penalties for selling drugs within
1,000 feet of schools, parks and playgrounds.
The landlord was ordered to evict the 14-year-old pot club
or risk imprisonment, plus forfeiture of the property and all the
rent he has collected while the dispensary has been in business,
Anton said.
Kris Hermes, a spokesman for the medical marijuana advo-
cacy group Americans for Safe Access, said the warnings are
part of what appears to be an attempt by the Obama administra-
tion to curb medical marijuana on multiple fronts and through
multiple agencies. A series of dispensary raids in Montana, for
example, involved agents from not only the FBI and U.S. Drug
Enforcement Agency, but the Internal Revenue Service and
Environmental Protection Agency.
Going after property owners is not a new tactic though,
Hermes said. Five years ago, the Department of Justice under
President George W. Bush made similar threats to about 300
Los Angeles-area landlords who were renting space to medical
marijuana outlets, some of whom were eventually evicted or
closed their doors voluntarily, he said.
The San Diego medical marijuana outlets put on notice were
the same dozen that city officials sued last month for operating
illegally, after activists there threatened to force an election on a
zoning plan adopted to regulate the citys fast-growing medical
marijuana industry, City Attorney Jan Goldsmith said. A judge
on Wednesday ordered nine of the targeted shops to close, while
the other three shut down voluntarily, Goldsmith said.

SUNNYVALE, Calif. A man described as a disgruntled
employee who opened fire on his co-workers at a California
limestone quarry was shot and killed by deputies Thursday,
bringing an end to a heavily armed manhunt in Silicon Valley.
Three deputies on routine patrol in a Sunnyvale neighbor-
hood encountered the man, identified by a coroners investiga-
tor as Shareef Allman, around 7:30 a.m., Santa Clara County
Sheriff Laurie Smith said. He was crouched behind a vehicle in
the driveway of a home.
The deputies opened fire after the man displayed in a threat-
ening manner his firearm, Smith said.
Thursdays shooting took place in a residential area about 5 miles
east of the Lehigh Southwest Cement Permanente Plant in Cupertino,
where Allman allegedly opened fire during a routine safety meeting
on Wednesday. Three people died and six were wounded.
Sheriffs officials late Thursday said they had obtained a sur-
veillance video of Allman that was taken from a security camera
that showed Allman walking with a rifle after the shooting.
Authorities believe Allman also shot a woman in an attempt-
ed carjacking a couple of hours after fleeing the quarry.
The ensuing manhunt in Cupertino, home of Apple Inc., and
in nearby communities took place as Silicon Valley began to
mourn the passing of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs. News of
Jobs death came later Wednesday after authorities had started
going door to door with guns drawn and as residents had been
warned to stay indoors.
Allman was positively identified through the use of finger-
prints late Thursday, said Norma Contreras, an investigator with
the Santa Clara Countys Coroners Office.
Im glad that we were able to reach a resolution. Its unfortu-
nate that an additional person died, but its over, and my concern
is the public safety of the county, Smith said.
News that the 47-year-old Allman was the suspect in the
attacks shocked his friends, who described him as a devoted
single father of two and a longtime community volunteer.
Close friend Brandon Powell said he was horrified to learn
of the shootings because Allman had mentioned taking a gun to
work days before the attack, but Powell, 20, believed the man he
called uncle was joking.
Powell told The Associated Press that Allman visited him in
Sacramento on Saturday and showed off a recently purchased
AK-47 assault rifle. Allman was an avid gun collector who was
registered with the state, he said.
When Powell asked Allman what the gun was for, Allman
said: Theres some racist people at my job. Theyre messing
with me, Powell recalled.
mally get the chance to have. Of course I also try to stay abreast
of new trends in the art world.
Although Wallace ended up with a bachelors degree in art and
graphic design, she says the art world wasnt where she planned
to end up.
I still dont think I know what I want to be when I grow up,
she joked. This is definitely not what I planned to do. I started out
wanting to save the whales, actually, but I figured that probably
wasnt my best idea. For a while I worked for Bittersweet, Inc.
in Whitehouse which is an 80-acre farm community for autistic
adults and they have all kinds of art programs. Then I worked for
Sauder Woodworking as a graphic designer for 10 years.
When the executive director position at Wassenberg Art Center
opened up, Wallace said she jumped at the opportunity.
I had always been aware of the Wassenberg Art Center,
she said. It seemed like a challenge, something that would be
really interesting and fun for me to do. There was an opportunity
for growth that was appealing to me. I started in February and I
can honestly say this is the job that probably fits best. Its always
changing. Its a great job because it is what we make of it.
While Wallace certainly enjoys her job, there is one aspect she
could live without.
I would love to make everyone happy, she said. But its
not always possible. Not everyone gets their work accepted and it
kind of breaks my heart because theyre all good, but its only
what the jurors choose and we only have so much space. Being
an artist and a designer, having stacks of rejection letters, I know
what thats like.
Her favorite part of the job is playing a part in preserving
culture.
I think that when you get older and wiser you realize how
important culture is to a community. Thats what art is, its cul-
ture, she said. Its basic human nature to create and if a popula-
tion is stripped of it, its hard to rise above that. I love that its
always changing and most of all I love being in a position to see
humanity in all of its creative aspects.
With two daughters grown, Wallace lives in Van Wert with her
pet Labrador Retriever.
