AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Today, the only Full Moon all year that is opposite your sign is taking place. This is a surefire equation for tension with partners and close friends. Everything is better tomorrow. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Be tolerant and patient with others, especially at work today. Everyone feels the tension of the Full Moon because it affects bodies of water, and we are mostly water! YOU BORN TODAY Your natural understanding of others makes you an excellent networker.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Having survived yesterday’s Full Moon, you feel more in control of your life today. Now you’re starting to make serious plans for something. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) This is a lovely day for research or looking for answers to old problems. You feel confident that you’re going to come up with some smart solutions. (And you will.)

A lovely, social year awaits you that will be particularly good for relationships. Enjoy! Birthdate of: James Dean, actor; Mary Steenburgen, actress; Jules Verne, writer.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Be tolerant with friends today, especially in group situations. You might feel at loggerheads with a female. Actually, this is just Full Moon tension, so relax. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Don’t make an issue out of anything regarding authority figures today, including parents, teachers and the police. People too easily overreact during a Full Moon. Chill out. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) This could be an accident-prone day for you because of the Full Moon. However, if you remain relaxed and aware of what you say and do, you can avoid problems. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) It might be best to postpone important financial

U.S. floats coalition on Syria

GOP race turns to three states LAS VEGAS (AP) — Now it’s on to Colorado, Minnesota and Maine. With back-to-back victories fueling him, Republican presidential front-runner Mitt Romney is looking toward the next states that hold GOP nominating contests as main rival Newt Gingrich brushes aside any talk of abandoning his White House bid __ all but ensuring the battle will stretch into the spring if not beyond. Shortly after losing big to Romney here, the former House speaker emphatically renewed his vow to campaign into the party convention in Tampa this summer. His goal, he said, was to “find a series of victories which by the end of the Texas primary will leave us at parity” with Romney by early April.

Egypt to try Americans CAIRO (AP) — Ignoring a U.S. threat to cut off aid, Egypt on Sunday referred 19 Americans and 24 other employees of nonprofit groups to trial before a criminal court on accusations they illegally used foreign funds to foment unrest in the country. Egypt’s military rulers had already deeply strained ties with Washington with their crackdown on U.S.-funded groups promoting democracy and human rights and accused of stirring up violence in the aftermath of the uprising a year ago that ousted Hosni Mubarak. The decision to send 43 workers from the various groups to trials marks a sharp escalation in the dispute.

Shop work resumes ROME (AP) — Underwater operations have resumed aimed at readying the shipwrecked Costa Concordia for the removal of tons of oil from its tanks. After days of stormy weather, seas off the Tuscan island of Giglio were calm enough Sunday to resume work. But the Italian government office overseeing salvage and rescue operations said winds were increasing and that the work would be halted before seas become too choppy. Divers’ search of the half-submerged vessel for the bodies of the 15 people missing in the Jan. 13 capsizing remains suspended due to sea conditions.

OUT OF THE BLUE

Bunny is hit online STOCKHOLM (AP) — Champis the bunny doesn’t only hop — he also knows how to herd his masters' flock of sheep, possibly having picked up the skill after watching trained dogs do the job. The 5-year-old pet rabbit from the small village of Kal in northern Sweden shot to online fame last week, having garnered more than 700,000 YouTube hits so far, after a clip of his sheep herding skills surfaced on a blog. The June video shows a persistent Champis running back and forth on the farm, trying to keep NilsErik and Greta Vigren’s sheep together.

A PIERCE County Sheriff's deputy and Graham Firefighters work around the smoldering remains of a house near Fredrickson, Wash., Sunday, where, according to a sheriff’s spokesman, three bodies were were found. The bodies are believed to be Josh Powell and his two sons. The explosion occurred moments after a Child Protective Services worker brought the two boys to the home for a supervised visit.

Missing mom’s husband, sons killed in explosion GRAHAM, Wash. (AP) — Days after a judge ruled against him in a child custody hearing, a father and his two young sons were killed Sunday when police said he appeared to intentionally blow up a house with all three inside — a tragic ending to a bizarre case that began more than two years ago when the man’s wife went mysteriously missing in Utah. A social worker brought the two boys to Josh Powell’s home for what was to be a supervised visit, and Powell let his sons inside — but then blocked the social worker from entering, Graham Fire and Rescue Chief Gary Franz told The Associated Press. The social worker called her supervisors to report that she could smell gas, and moments later the home exploded. Sgt. Ed Troyer, Pierce County sheriff ’s spokesman,

said emails that Powell sent authorities seemed to confirm that Powell planned the deadly blast. Troyer didn’t elaborate on the contents of the emails. Jeffrey Bassett, who represented Powell in the custody case, said he received a brief email from his client just minutes before Powell and the two boys died. It said, “I’m sorry, goodbye.” The email arrived at 12:05 p.m. Sunday, about 10 minutes before the explosion, but he didn’t see it until two hours later, when others told him Josh and the boys had been killed. He said he knew Josh was upset after being ordered to undergo a psycho-sexual evaluation recently, but he didn’t see this coming. Powell was under investigation in the disappearance of his 28-year-old wife Susan from their West Valley City, Utah, home in December

2009. He claimed he had taken the boys on a midnight excursion in freezing temperatures when she vanished. The children, 5-year-old and 7-year-old Braden Charles, had been living with Susan Powell’s parents since Josh Powell’s father, Steven, was arrested on child porn and voyeurism charges last fall. On Wednesday, a judge had denied an attempt by Josh Powell to regain custody, saying she wouldn’t consider returning the two boys to their father until he underwent a psycho-sexual evaluation. Sherry Hill, a spokeswoman for the state Department of Social and Health Services, said the social worker who was with the children was not a Child Protective Services employee but a contract worker with a private agency that supervises visits for the state.

Queen Elizabeth celebrates 60 years on throne LONDON (AP) — Queen Elizabeth II braved the cold and snow to attend church Sunday on the eve of her Diamond Jubilee anniversary. Bundled in a brown coat and matching fur hat, Elizabeth was joined by her husband, Prince Philip, at the service at West Newton church on her Sandringham Estate in eastern England. Following a service that lasted less than an hour, the queen took time to greet and accept flowers from well-wishers huddled in the freezing temperatures to catch a glimpse of her. The bitter cold and snow that blanketed much of Britain forced a change of plans for Philip. He had been due to travel to nearby Kings Lynn to participate in the 90th anniversary parade of the local Royal British Legion branch, but the event was canceled because of the snow. The 85-year-old monarch marks 60 years on the throne on Monday. The anniversary will be marked by a series of regional, national and interna-

They constantly have to make sure they’re keeping the scout warm and giving him attention.” In the Boy Scout rescue mission Troop 97 from St. Paul’s Church won, Troop 69

tional events throughout 2012. Elizabeth ascended the throne when her father, George VI, died on Feb. 6, 1952. She is the longest-serving monarch after Queen Victoria, who reigned for more than 63 years. The Queen typically spends Feb. 6 privately but she has two official engagements scheduled for Monday. First, Elizabeth will visit King’s Lynn Town hall to meet staff and view historical artifacts. Then she is expected to tour a local nursery school and meeting pupils before watching a play there about her 60 years as sovereign. Over the course of 2012, members of the royal family — including Prince William and his wife, the Duchess of Cambridge — will fan out across the globe and travel to Commonwealth countries including Canada, Jamaica and Belize in honor of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee. The Queen and Philip, also known as the Duke of Edinburgh, will stay closer to home, touring the U.K. from March to July.

BEIRUT (AP) — The United States proposed an international coalition to support Syria’s opposition Sunday after Russia and China blocked a U.N. attempt to end nearly 11 months of bloodshed, raising fears that violence will escalate. Rebel soldiers said force was now the only way to oust President Bashar Assad, while the regime vowed to press its military crackdown. The threat of both sides turning to greater force after Russia and China vetoed a U.N. Security Council resolution raises the potential for Syria’s turmoil to move into even a more dangerous new phase that could degenerate into outright civil war. The uprising inspired by other Arab Spring revolts began in March with peaceful protests against Assad’s regime, sparking a fierce crackdown by government forces. Soldiers who defected to join the uprising later began to protect protesters from attacks. In recent months, the rebel soldiers, known as the Free Syrian Army, have grown bolder, attacking regime troops and trying to establish control in pro-opposition areas. That has brought a heavier government response. More than 5,400 people have been killed since March, according to the U.N., and now regime opponents fear that Assad will be emboldened by the feeling he is protected by his top ally Moscow and unleash even greater violence to crush protesters. If the opposition turns overtly to armed resistance, the result could be a dramatic increase in bloodshed. At least 30 civilians were killed Sunday, including five children and a woman who was hit by a bullet while standing on her balcony as troops fired on protesters in a Damascus suburb, according to the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an activist group. Government forces firing mortars and heavy machine guns also battered the mountain town of Zabadani, north of Damascus, a significant opposition stronghold that fell under rebel control late last month. Bombardment the past two days has wounded dozens and forced scores of families to flee, an activist in the town said. “The situation is terrifying. Makeshift hospitals are full,” said the activist, who only gave his first name, Fares, for fear of government reprisal. He said the town has been under siege for the past five days and there is a shortage of food and heating fuel during the cold winter.

From Page 1 While the home appears to be destroyed, neighbor Dave Wachauf said the community pulls together and helps each other. “Everybody backs everybody else here,” said Wachauf. “It’s a wonderful community.” No further information was available at press time. The cause of the fire is still under investigation.

VALERIE: You’ve dated five different guys; make it six, seven and eight or until you date a guy who has “potential.” In no way should you tamper with Richard while he is dating your best friend. You don’t want to lose the friendship of a best friend, and don’t be so sure Richard is as eager to get back together as you are.

The commission was briefed on the County Commissioner Association of Ohio’s 2011-2012 proposed legislation relating to issues pertaining to veterans and the initiatives taken by ODVS and veteran’s associations that precluded having the proposals placed before Ohio’s General Assembly.

This is a new program developed by the director’s staff to bring to the table topics that Veterans Service Commissioners and Veterans Service Officers would like to see addressed to better serve the veterans throughout Ohio; i.e., the various reports between ODVS and counties, establishing reward/recognition systems for county Veteran Service Offices (CVSO), improved CVSO and CVSC training, working together to do things better, and when ODVS should get in-

Troy organization opens SHS student wins trip to poetry contest D.C., Gettysburg

Neal Dev, a junior at Sidney High School, is a winner in the Ohio American Legion’s Americanism and Government test program. He receives an all-expense-paid trip to Gettysburg, Pa., and Washington, D.C. Dev is the son of Ashok and Ketaki Buddhadev, of Sidney. Sidney Post Americanism Chairman Chuck Craynon said this is the 22nd state-level winner the post has sponsored since the program began. Eighteen of those winners were from Sidney High School. This test was admin-

istered throughout Ohio to approximately 65,000 sophomore, junior and senior high school students in November. Fifty questions covered federal, state and local government, as well as the Constitution, Declaration of Independence and the American flag. After winning at the local post, county and district levels, three boys and three girls from each grade level were selected as winners at the Department of Ohio. The winners will tour the Gettysburg battlefield, lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers and visit the

Department, State where they will receive a special briefing. They also will visit the White House, the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Washington Cathedral and HMX-1, the Marine Corps helicopter squadron responsible for transporting the president. As time permits, they also will visit other points of interest in Washington, D.C. Commander Post Gary “Tiny” Stockton and Craynon both said they feel honored to sponsor the winner, and they commended all of the students who took the test.

STATE NEWS

OTTOVILLE (AP) — The State Highway Patrol says a 17-year-old girl from northwest Ohio died after she swerved off a county road toward a pond and her vehicle became submerged. The crash happened late Saturday near Ottoville, about 65 miles southwest of Toledo. Troopers say Rockford resident Brianna Coon made a frantic call for help using her but cellphone, searchers who traced the signal had trouble determining the vehicle’s exact location. A trooper found a hubcap near the pond about two hours after the crash, and the girl was in the car when it was pulled from the water. Troopers are investigating what happened. They don’t believe alcohol was a factor, and they say the girl had been wearing a seat belt.

NASCAR auction benefits family SPRINGFIELD (AP) — A western Ohio sheriff has put his skills as an auctioneer to good use at an event benefiting the children of a deputy who was fatally shot on New Year’s Day 2011. Clark County Sheriff Gene Kelly on Saturday helped auction off pieces of a car that had been driven in NASCAR races and was badly damaged in a crash. The event raised money for a trust to help the family of Deputy Suzanne Hopper. She was a friend of Springfield resident Mark Sanders, a NASCAR crew member with Means Motorsports. His team used a vehicle decal in Hopper’s memory last year. The Springfield News-Sun reports a piece of the crashed car bearing the special decal sold for $500 at the auction.

Pros, cons for Kasich’s speech COLUMBUS (AP) — He’s fresh off a bruising fight and ultimate defeat over the rights of unionized public workers. His approval ratings among voters are low. And some fellow Republicans in the Legislature have grumbled openly over Gov. John Kasich’s decision to move his State of the State speech outside the capital to eastern Ohio. Against this backdrop, Kasich lays out his second-year agenda Tuesday — one focused on education and the economic promise of oil and natural gas drilling.

cases, the relocation was criticized by some as disrespecting an honored state tradition. Kasich is believed to be the first governor in Ohio history to give his address outside the Statehouse. The move is also an inconvenience to other Columbusbased dignitaries who traditionally attend. Attorney General Mike DeWine has said he can’t make the speech. Secretary of State Jon Husted has a schedule conflict he’s trying to work out. Both are fellow Republicans. The GOP-controlled Ohio

Group: Bug eradication may hurt healthy trees CINCINNATI (AP) — A proposal to eradicate a tree-killing beetle in southwest Ohio by cutting down thousands of trees, including those that may not be infested, has concerned property owners fighting for methods that would preserve healthy trees. More than 6,000 trees in Clermont County east of Cincinnati are infested with Asian longhorned beetles, and more than 2,500 have been cut down as surveys and tree removal continue, according to the Ohio Department of Agriculture. It’s partnering with the U.S. Department of Agriculture to keep the beetles from spreading to other parts of Ohio. The Bethel ALB Citizens’ Cooperative was formed after officials notified nearly 100 Bethelarea property owners in November of the plan to cut down infested trees

and potential host trees within certain distances of those that were infested, cooperative member Bill Skvarla said. “We knew they were planning to cut down more than 5,000 trees, but removing healthy trees too could mean taking down 50,000 to 100,000,” he said. The state wants to protect as many healthy trees as possible while still containing the bugs, agriculture department spokeswoman Erica Pitchford said. Skvarla, who found the infestation in June in some of his maple trees, has lost 14 trees and expects to lose many more. He said the cooperative supports the removal of infested trees. “There is no doubt that they must come down, but we don’t agree on an atomic-bomb approach of taking healthy trees, too,” he said.

The cooperative has hired a lawyer, and volunteer biologists, engineers and chemists are helping research solutions. The group says it prefers the “least destructive” methods to contain the beetles. It wants to combine the removal of infested trees with chemical treatments of potential host trees within a quarter-mile radius of infested ones. It will have a public meeting Tuesday to provide information about a pesticide that has been used in other areas. Agriculture officials say only infested trees will be cut down until they can assess the environmental effects of various treatment options. The Ohio Department of Agriculture is represented on the committee reviewing options and “chemical treatment is not off the table,” Pitchford said

Supreme Court also won’t be there because court is in session that day. Kasich spokesman Rob Nichols said the governor is dedicated to the unconventional venue. He said this year’s speech will reach a larger audience than ever. The school’s auditorium holds more people than the House chamber, so 50 members of the public received tickets to attend through a lottery. Government and public television networks are teaming up to broadcast the speech and stream it online, he said.

Political experts say moving the speech to an elementary school in Steubenville allows Kasich to reconnect with the public after last fall’s bitter collective bargaining battle. He has said he wants to uplift the once-proud steel valley by turning public attention on its assets. But the decision also miffed some lawmakers — including a handful in his own party, whose support is necessary to push his policies through the state Legislature.

person to return to the doctor to interpret the test. Both the skin test and the blood test are still used, but the blood test is becoming more popular in places where it can be used. Standard treatment for latent TB is nine months of isoniazid treatment. Recently, in December 2011, the CDC introduced an alternate regimen for latent TB, consisting of three months of weekly treatment of isoniazid with rifapentine. Your son will do fine on the treatment he started with. He doesn’t have to change horses midstream. DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I am a 72-year-old woman who had a scope exam of my stomach and esophagus done a few weeks ago. The next morning I woke and heard a loud whooshwhoosh in my left ear. I took my blood pressure and it was in the 150s, so I made an appointment with the family doctor

for that day. He did not seem overly concerned but put me on another BP (TSX:BP’U) medicine. The sound in my ear is not quite as loud, but is still there. It sometimes makes me want to scream. Do you have any idea what to do about this noise? I hesitate to exercise since it started. — L.C. ANSWER: That whoosh-whoosh noise has a name: pulsatile tinnitus. It’s in sync with blood rushing through arteries with each heartbeat. It often results from aging, but it can have serious implications that need exploring. Blood vessel malformations near the ear, narrowing of neck arteries and high blood pressure are a few of the causes. I can’t explain why it came on after the scope exam. Since the new blood pressure medicine hasn’t eliminated it, I’d go back to the doctor and ask if other tests might be appropriate at this time.

Does my mother have the right to withhold the bond and decide how and when I can use the money? Should I drop the issue and let her choose when to give it to me? Please help, I need your advice. — 30YEAR- OLD CHILD DEAR “CHILD”: Your grandmother gave you the savings bond as a BIRTHDAY gift. When you became an adult, it should have been given to you then.

CAUTION Whether posting or responding to an advertisement, watch out for offers to pay more than the advertised price for the item. Scammers will send a check and ask the seller to wire the excess through Western Union (possibly for courier fees). The scammer's check is fake and eventually bounces and the seller loses the wired amount. While banks and Western Union branches are trained at spotting fake checks, these types of scams are growing increasingly sophisticated and fake checks often aren't caught for weeks.

5. The family went into hiding when ___ 6. Their hiding place was ___ 7. The first thing they did after moving in ___ 8. Anne shared her room with an ___ Today I met a man, a black man. His name is John Langston. He is neither a freed slave nor a runaway. He was born a free man, here, in the United States, in Virginia. He is a remarkable man who has been to college and who was even elected clerk in Lorain County. Now, he preaches abolition and recruits other black men for service in the Union Army. Though I miss home, and I most truly do, meeting a man such as Mr. Langston is proof to me that I have made the right decision. Ethan

Josh Franklin’s Far Out Family Blog Written by Steven Coburn-Griffis Illustrated by Isaac Schumacher Chapter Three: Week Three We take travel for granted. We’ve got cars and buses to get us around. And there are trucks, not to mention airplanes, to move more and bigger things. But back when Uncle Ethan was writing his letters, none of that existed. In fact, the fastest way of getting things from here to there was on railroads. During the Civil War, railroads were the supply lines that kept the Union army in food and clothes and bullets and stuff. They were transportation for newly enlisted soldiers heading south and for the wounded being shuttled back north. So I guess it’s not all that surprising that when abolitionists started illegally moving slaves from the southern states all the way up into Canada, they called that the Underground Railroad. Like all railroads, the Underground Railroad had stops along the way, places where people opened their homes to runaway slaves. Let me tell you that I am proud to say that Ohio had thirteen stops. That’s more than twice as many stops as any other state. They stretched from as far south as Riley clear up north into Sandusky and Ashtabula. And even though we were fighting a war to emanci-

9. The people in hiding ___ 10. Anne shared her thoughts ___ 11. When they were betrayed ___ 12. Anne and her sister died ___ Answer choices: A. the Secret Police came and took them to jail. B. had to be very quiet most of the time. C. from Germany to the Netherlands. D. older man, a dentist named Fritz Pfeffer.

VOCABULARY WORDS abolitionists emancipate

pate the slaves, to free them, it was still against the law to help an escaped slave. The people who were helping were risking a lot, maybe even prison time. So they did their best to keep what they were doing secret. They built hidden rooms in their houses with tricky, secret doors and they built tunnels so that the people traveling the Underground Railroad could get in and out without being seen. One of the cool things about now, today, is that none of that stuff is secret anymore. Sometimes, some of those Underground Railroad stops are even open to the public, part of a park system or something, so we can go and see where they were and what they were like. And like I said,

there are a bunch of them here in Ohio, so there may even be one close to where you live. Anyway, enough about that. I’m going to fail this project if I don’t write at least a little bit about family. Isn’t that right, Mr. W.? So, here’s the next letter: September 7, 1862 Wilf, Even as I am writing this, I am sitting in a train car. There are hundreds of us, soldiers all, waiting for the train to begin its journey, to take us, to take me, farther from home than I ever really dreamed of going. We are heading for Cincinnati and from there, most surely farther south. And the world is stranger than ever I would have believed.

E. of typhus in a prison camp. F. was to make curtains for the windows.

CHAPTER THREE: QUESTIONS & ACTIVITIES Locate the towns of Sandusky and Riley, Ashtabula on a map of Ohio. Using the map’s scale, calculate how far ‘riders’ on the Underground Railroad had to travel from one point another across Ohio on their way to freedom. Do some research at your local library or online to find out if there were any Underground Railroad stops near your home. If so, how far is it to the next northern Underground Railroad ‘station’? Look through today’s newspaper. Are there any articles about people who are helping others? Are any of them risking their freedom or even their lives to do so?

Anne Frank Anne Frank was born to Otto Frank and his wife Edith on June 12, 1929. They named her Annelies Marie. She had a sister Margot who was three years older. They were a Jewish family living in Germany. Their families had lived in Germany for centuries. By 1932, Adolph Hitler had risen to power in Germany and instead of enjoying a democracy, the German people now suffered under the rule of a dictator. Hitler blamed the Jews for all the problems in the country. Otto realized it was becoming unsafe for his family in Germany and moved them to the Netherlands. He set up a company in Amsterdam making a product that the women used to make homemade jam. It was called Opekta. (Pectin is derived from fruits and will cause jelly and jam to jell. In America you can buy a pectin product called Sure Jell.) The family was safe for a while, but then in 1940, the Germans invaded the Netherlands and began to arrest and persecute the Jews there. They put restrictions on the Jews and made them wear an identifying yellow star on their clothes. They could not own a business. They could not ride a bicycle. Life became very hard, and the Jews feared for their lives. Margot, Anne's sister was called to report to a work camp in Germany. The family had been planning a hiding place, but with Margot's call-up they knew they had to hide immediately. And so they did. The date was July 6, 1942. The hiding place became known as the Secret Annex. It was located at 263 Prinsengracht. The Frank family would occupy two rooms on the first floor. A week later Mr. and Mrs. Van Pels and their son would move into the two rooms on the second floor. From Peter's tiny room they could access the attic where food was stored. There was a small bathroom on the first floor. The first thing they did was make curtains to prevent anyone from seeing in. An eighth person, Fritz Pfeffer, an older man, a dentist, arrived in November and would share a room with Anne. Father Voskuijl made a movable bookcase to hide the door through which they entered their quarters. There were four people who

helped them during the two years and 30 days they were in hiding. Miep Gies, Victor Kugler, Johannes Kleiman and Bep Voskuijl provided food for them, and at great personal risk to their own lives visited daily and brought news from the outside world. The people in hiding must be very quiet when the warehouse workers are at work downstairs. They can move around when the men are gone for lunch, and at 5:30 in the afternoon when the workers leave the building Anne and the others are free to go downstairs into the office area. Anne calls it their "nightly freedom." The Franks had brought school books for an extended stay and library books are brought to the group weekly. They spend a lot of time reading, studying, and working correspondence courses. Anne writes in her diary. She creates an imaginary friend "Kitty" with whom she shares her innermost thoughts in her writings. Sometimes she writes short stories. After hearing on a radio broadcast that there would be a collection of the diaries and writings made during the war, Anne begins to think about making her writings into a book. After a lot of thought she decides she will call it "Achterhuis" (Secret Annex). She begins rewriting her entries, leaving out some very personal items she would rather not share. For over two months she works rewriting her diaries. On August 4, 1944, the people in hiding were discovered. Someone, they never found out who, betrayed them and a Secret Service officer and three men of the Dutch police force came up the stairs, entered with guns, and herded them away to jail. The two men who had been helping them were also arrested and taken to the city

prison. The two women helpers, Miep and Bep, were left behind. They went into Anne's small room. Her diaries were scattered all over the floor. They collected them and Miep kept them. The eight people are taken to a transit camp, Westerbork. From that camp people are taken to extermination and concentration camps. During the month they are there they have to break up old batteries. On September 2, 1944 their names appear on the list of people to be moved. They are put on freight cars and three days later they arrive at the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp. The people in the freight cars were divided. Men and women were separated and then they were divided into groups; one group would go to labor camps, and those who could not work would be killed in the gas chamber. By the end of October, Anne and her sister Margot are transferred to another camp, Bergen-Belsen. They both become ill there and died of typhus in March 1945. They died just a few weeks before the British Army arrived and freed the prisoners. The four helpers survived the war and so did Anne's father, Otto Frank. He searched desperately for word of the fate of his family. Finally in July he met two sisters who witnessed the death of Anne and Margot. After Otto learned of the death of his daughters, Miep gave him the pages of the diary she had been saving. He was surprised at the depth of her writings. This was an Anne he never knew. He honored her wish to have her writings published as a book. First the book was published in the Dutch* language, then German, French, and English. The book was made into a stage play, then into a film. Today when you see the word "Holocaust" it usually refers to this time in which the German Army systematically killed nearly 6 million Jews. People need to learn about the Holocaust and the reasons why it happened, lest periods of hatred and discrimination cause a similar genocide. Some say it never happened at all, but we know it did because there are too many witnesses and survivors who lived to tell the world about those darkest of times. Today if you visit the site of the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp you can see a memorial to Anne Frank and her sister Margot.

Giants win 21-17 INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Eli Manning and the Giants one-upped Tom Brady and the Patriots again, coming back with a last-minute score to beat New England 21-17 Sunday night for New York’s fourth Super Bowl title. It was a rematch of the 2008 NFL championship, when Manning led New York past New England to ruin the Patriots’ bid for a perfect season. This was the first Super Bowl with two starting quarterbacks who previously won the big game’s MVP award ‚Äî and they took turns being brilliant. Manning became the first QB to open a Super Bowl with nine consecutive completions. Later, Brady put together a run of 16 completions in a row, breaking another Super Bowl mark. But in the end, it was Manning — who was selected as the MVP — who directed the nine-play, 88-yard drive that put New York ahead. Ahmad Bradshaw capped the winning drive with a 6yard run up the middle. He wanted to stop at the 1-yard line but fell backward into the end zone. Less than a minute later it came down to one last play, when Tom Brady’s long heave into the end zone fell incomplete among a maze of players. New England had the ball for all of one play in the first 11 1-2 minutes, and that play was an utter failure, a rare poor decision by Brady. After Steve Weatherford’s punt was downed at the New England 6, Brady dropped to pass in the end zone and had time. With everyone covered and Giants defensive end Justin Tuck finally coming free to provide pressure, Brady heaved the ball downfield while still in the pocket. Only problem: No Patriots receivers were anywhere near the pass. The Giants were awarded a safety for Brady’s grounding in the end zone. meanwhile, Manning, couldn’t have been more on target early, hitting six receivers in the first period, completing his first nine throws, a Super Bowl record. He also was aided by Ahmad Bradshaw, who hardly looked like a running back with a bad foot. Bradshaw broke a 24-yard run, and New England made another critical mistake by having 12 men on

Instead, New York got a first down at the 6, and two plays later Victor Cruz beat James Ihedigbo on a slant to make it 9-0, prompting Cruz to break into his signature salsa move. At that point, it was 9-3 after Stephen Gostkowski’s 29-yard field goal. Soon after, when the Patriots had a three-and-out and Pierre-Paul blocked another throw, Belichick and offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien had a quick discussion. Then O’Brien, soon to take over as Penn State coach, went over to the struggling Brady. The talk must have helped. On the final series of the opening half, Brady was masterful. Starting at his 4, and ignoring the last time the Patriots began a series in the shadow of the end zone, he was vintage Brady. With New York’s vaunted pass rush disappearing, Brady went 10-for-10 for 98 AP Photo/Elise Amendola yards, capping the drive that included two Patriots penal- NEW ENGLAND Patriots defensive back Sterling Moore (29) ties with Woodhead’s 4-yard breaks up a pass to New York Giants wide receiver Mario TD reception with 8 seconds Manningham (82) during the second half of the NFL Super Bowl XLVI football game, Sunday in Indianapolis. to go in the half.

Cavs lose to Irish SPRINGFIELD — Head Lehman coach Isaiah Williams called it a “hangover” from Friday night’s win over Troy Christian. Whatever the case, the Cavaliers didn’t get going until the fourth quarter, and by then it was too late in a 68-56 loss to Springfield Catholic Saturday. The loss left the Cavs at 9-7 on the season. “They jumped out on us in the first half,” said Williams. “We played a real good second half and I was proud of the kids for keeping the fight in there.”

said Sidney coach Greg Marion’s Bertke had Snyder. “We just didn’t 14 and was the only come to play. But we’re not player in double figures. Marion Local (44) going to let it bother us.

WAYNESFIELD — Anthony Fairlawn’s Gillem showed he’s close to being the player he was before his wrist injury, hitting five threepointers and erupting for 27 points Saturday night for the Jets.

JACKSON CENTER — Jackson Center head coach Scott Elchert wasn’t surprised at all that his unbeaten Tigers had their hands full with visiting Minster Saturday. The Tigers were able to open up a 12-point lead after three quarters, then hang on down the stretch to post a 6254 victory in non-league boys basketball action here. The win keeps the Tigers perfect on the year at 17-0. Minster falls to 7-9. “We knew they would come in here and play hard,” said Elchert. “They have some very good offensive players in (Adam) Niemeyer and (Devon) Poeppelman. And I was worried about a letdown. We had two very emotional games with Botkins and Russia. So this was a good way to finish the week off.” Andy Hoying had 18 points and nine rebounds to lead the Tigers, and Trey Elchert came up big on the outside, hitting 4-for-7 from three-point range and finishing with 14 points. Minster had four players in double figures. Niemeyer had 14, Poeppelman 12, Ryan Hoying 11 and Doug Huber 10.
