BY MIRWAIS KHAN The Associated Press KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — An Afghan police officer turned his gun on NATO troops at a remote checkpoint in the south of the country before dawn Sunday, killing four American troops, according to Afghan and international officials.

It was the third attack by Afghan forces or insurgents disguised in military uniforms against international forces in as many days, killing eight troops in all. Recent months have seen a string of such insider attacks by Afghan forces against their international counterparts. The killings have imperiled the military partnership between

Kabul and NATO, a working relationship that is key to the handover of security responsibilities to Afghan forces as international troops draw down. Meanwhile, according to Afghan officials, airstrikes by NATO planes killed eight women and girls in another remote part of the country, fueling a long-standing grievance against a tactic used by inter-

Crowds converge on Lake Loramie BY TOM BARNETT tbarnett@sdnccg,com FORT LORAMIE — Cooler, bright sunny weather prevailed throughout the weekend’s Fall Harvest Festival and Camp-Out, drawing large crowds to Lake Loramie State Park Friday, Saturday and Sunday. “Crowds were huge, many more than in the past,” a park staff member said Sunday afternoon. The annual event is co-sponsored annually by the

Lake Loramie State Park and the Lake Loramie Improvement Association. A family-oriented event, festival activities included an antique power show demonstrating gas-powered engines and farm equipment, children’s games and activities, a large farmers market, and many arts and crafts exhibitors. Antique Power Show demonstrations included shingle mill operations, threshing and baling and

sawmill operations. There were also chainsaw carving demonstrations. The Lake Loramie Heritage Museum was open from 1 to 4 p.m. both Saturday and Sunday. Other attractions included live musical entertainment and a mountain men’s encampment. Admission, as always, was free. Camping was available at regular rates, including several overflow camping areas. See LORAMIE/Page 12A

Palace to file criminal complaint over Kate pics LONDON (AP) — Lawyers for Britain’s royal family will make a criminal complaint against the photographer who took pictures of Prince William’s wife Kate sunbathing topless in the south of France, William’s office said Sunday. The palace has already launched a civil lawsuit against France’s Closer magazine, which published the paparazzi snaps of Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, relaxing during a holiday at a private villa in Provence. The couple is hitting back hard against publication of the pictures, which the palace called a “grotesque” abuse of

the young royals’ privacy. A spokeswoman for William’s St. James’s Palace office said the couple’s lawyers would file a complaint with French prosecutors on Monday against the unidentified photographer or photographers involved. “The complaint concerns the taking of photographs of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge whilst on holiday and the publication of those photographs in breach of their privacy,” she said on condition of anonymity in keeping with palace policy. The palace said it would be up to French prosecutors to decide whether to

investigate and pursue a criminal case for breach of privacy or trespassing. The couple’s lawyers are already due in a Paris court Monday seeking an injunction against Closer’s publisher, the Italian media group Mondadori. It also publishes Italy’s Chi gossip magazine, which says it will publish 26 pages of the images on Monday. The palace will seek damages from the publisher, which is owned by former Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi. The palace said it was considering “all proportionate responses” against Chi, though no decision has been made on See PALACE/Page 3A

stands in contrast to the reception of naked photos of Prince Harry partying in Las Vegas, which appeared online last month and were later published in Britain’s Sun tabloid. The palace shrugged off the photos, snapped during a game of strip billiards, and took no action against those who published them. Some see British papers’ reluctance to run the Kate photos as a sign that the country’s oncerambunctious tabloids have been cowed by a scandal over phone hacking and other wrongdoing, which brought public opprobrium and an ongoing media-ethics inquiry. The incident also has evoked memories of the paparazzi hounding of William’s late mother, Princess Diana.

disease damage. Benson has become the main driver for the local Master Gardeners organization. He has been a Master Gardener for the last 12 years. Benson has taken advantage of continuing education programs throughout the state fitting them in his schedule as coordinator, such as the new volunteer hour system, tree disease and diagnoses of damage, etc. He provided a presentation about EAB last summer offered to the community to educate utility companies, the general public, industry, local park services, Soil and Water Conservation Districts with the support of the OSU Extension and State Office Forester. As a result, there have been many trees identified being infested with the EAB in and about the cities and in the rural areas. Fort Loramie State Park, in consulting with Benson and a state forester, have had to remove 19 trees and developed plans to replace these trees with other species. Benson has presented talks to students in schools at all grade levels. This is one way he wants to stimulate young minds to care and preserve nature. He encourages fellow MG to go to seminars to become more sharpened in their knowledge on gardening and broaden their learning experience. He encourages MG to participate in developing and presenting displays of native plants for this county, beneficial insects and information about Master Gardening at the Shelby County fair, Lockington Fire Department picnic, Fort Loramie Fall Festival Days. He has developed crafts for children to utilize flower blossoms on cards for them to take home. He has

been involved each year in our Conservation Camp for the students in second to fifth grades during summer break, in October he participates in the Pioneer Days for the fourth grades learning how lives were in the colonial days dressed as a civil war soldier teaching types of food available in those days. “It is difficult to name only a few great contributions that Mr. Benson has made, all are important,” said Judy Frilling, president of the local Master Gardeners. “Six years ago, he created the monthly newsletter that is produced by a MG volunteer to be emailed to all members. All members are encouraged to contribute any items of interest to keep the Newsletter of interest to all. “Because of his dedication to public awareness, Mr. Benson developed and constructed a shadow box depicting EAB specimens that he gathered locally,” she said. “This shadow box is located on the counter of the OSU Extension Office for anyone to see what symptoms the EAB creates when infesting an ash tree. “Benson has been a strong, passionate supporter of the Shelby County Master Gardening organization as well as a supporter of each member,” she said. “He has a very strong tie with MG organization that he checks in the OSU Extension Office several times a week to be available for the public if there should there be questions that would need immediate answers.” Benson has accumulated 2,236 hours of serving his community in the name of Shelby County Master Gardening during this fiscal year.

John Philip Sousa John Philip Sousa (November 6, 1854 – March 6, 1932) was an American composer and conductor of the late Romantic era, known particularly for American military and patriotic marches. Because of his mastery of march composition, he is known as "The March King" or the "American March King" due to his British counterpart Kenneth J. Alford also being known as "The March King." Among his best known marches are "The Washington Post", "Semper Fidelis" (Official March of the United States Marine Corps), and "The Stars and Stripes Forever" (National March of the United States of America). His father was Portuguese, and his mother of Bavarian ancestry. Sousa began his career playing violin and studying music theory and composition under John Esputa and George Felix Benkert. His father eventually enlisted him in the United States Marine Band as an apprentice in 1868. After departing the band in 1875, Sousa eventually learned to conduct. From 1880 until his death, Sousa began focusing exclusively on conducting and wrote marches during this time. He eventually rejoined the Marine Band and served there for 12 years as director. Upon leaving the Marine Band, Sousa organized his own band. He toured Europe and Australia and also developed the sousaphone, a large brass instrument similar to the tuba. On the outbreak of World War I, Sousa was commissioned as a Lieutenant Commander and led the Naval Reserve Band in Illinois. Following his tenure there, Sousa returned to conduct the Sousa Band until his death in 1932. John Philip Sousa was born in Washington, D.C., on November 6, 1854, to John Antonio Sousa and Maria Elisabeth Trinkhaus. Sousa started his music education by playing the violin as a pupil of John Esputa and George Felix Benkert (born 1831) for harmony and musical composition at the age of six. He was found to have absolute pitch. When Sousa reached the age of 13, his father, a trombonist in the Marine Band, enlisted his son in the United States Marine Corps as an apprentice to keep him from joining a circus band. On December 30, 1879, Sousa married Jane van Middlesworth Bellis (1862–1944). They had three children together: John Philip, Jr. (April 1, 1881 – May 18, 1937), Jane Priscilla (August 7, 1882 – October 28, 1958), and Helen (January 21, 1887 – October 14, 1975). All are buried in the John Philip Sousa plot in the Congressional Cemetery. Wife Jane joined the Daughters of the

American Revolution (DAR) in 1907. Daughters Jane Priscilla and Helen Abert also joined DAR in 1907. Their Patriot was Adam Bellis. Several years after serving his apprenticeship, Sousa joined a theatrical (pit) orchestra where he learned to conduct. He returned to the U.S. Marine Band as its head in 1880 and remained as its conductor until 1892. Sousa led "The President's Own" band under five presidents from Rutherford B. Hayes to Benjamin Harrison. Sousa's band played at two Inaugural Balls, those of James A. Garfield in 1881, and Benjamin Harrison in 1889. Sousa organized his own band the year he left the Marine Band. The Sousa Band toured from 1892–1931, performing at 15,623 concerts. In 1900, his band represented the United States at the Paris Exposition before touring Europe. In Paris, the Sousa Band marched through the streets including the Champs-Élysées to the Arc de Triomphe – one of only eight parades the band marched in more than its forty years. In 1911, they went to Australia and performed in Sydney and Melbourne (then the national capital). The marching brass bass, or sousaphone, a modified helicon, was created by J. W. Pepper – a Philadelphia instrument maker who created the instrument in 1893 at Sousa’s request using several of his suggestions in its design. He wanted a tuba that could sound upward and over the band whether its player was seated or marching. The sousaphone was re-created in 1898 by C.G. Conn and this was the model that Sousa preferred to use. Sousa lived in Sands Point, New York. A school (John Philip Sousa Elementary) and a band shell are named after him and there is also a memorial tree planted in nearby Port Washington. Wild Bank, his seaside house on Hicks Lane, has been designated a National Historic Landmark, although it remains a private home and is not open to the public. Sousa died of heart failure at the age of 77 on March 6, 1932, in his room at the Abraham Lincoln Hotel in Reading, Pennsylvania. He had conducted a rehearsal of "The Stars and Stripes Forever" the previous day with the Ringgold Band. He is buried in Washington, D.C.'s Congressional Cemetery. Sousa served in the U.S. Marine Corps, first from 1868 to 1875 as an apprentice musician, and then as the head of the Marine Band from 1880 to 1892; he was a Sergeant Major for most of his second period of Marine service and was a

Warrant Officer at the time he resigned. During World War I, he was commissioned a Lieutenant Commander in the U.S. Naval Reserve and led the Navy Band at the Great Lakes Naval Station near Chicago, Illinois. Being independently wealthy, he donated his entire naval salary minus one dollar a year to the Sailors' and Marines' Relief Fund. After returning to his own band at the end of the war, he continued to wear his naval uniform for most of his concerts and other public appearances.

Facts! • When Sousa was 13, he wanted to join a circus band. To thwart young Sousa's plan, his father enlisted him in the Marines. When World War 1 erupted in 1917, Sousa joined the U.S. Naval Reserve and became a lieutenant. The sousaphone was named after him; it was developed based on his specifications. • He mainly wrote pieces for the marching band. He also wrote concert pieces, instrumental solos, operettas, overtures, suites, songs and pieces for trumpet and drum. • He is popularly called "The March King" because of his many compositions for the marching band and also for pioneering band music. He was an American composer of marches, a conductor, performer and bandleader. He was a music education advocate and a firm supporter for composers' rights.

WASHINGTON (AP) — So much for silence from telemarketers at the cherished dinner hour, or any other hour of the day. Complaints to the government are up sharply about unwanted phone solicitations, raising questions about how well the federal “do-not-call” registry is working. The biggest category of complaint: those annoying prerecorded pitches called robocalls that hawk everything from lower credit card interest rates to new windows for your home. Robert Madison, 43, of Shawnee, Kan., says he gets automated calls almost daily from “Ann, with credit services,” offering to lower his interest rates. “I am completely fed up,” Madison said in an interview. “I’ve repeatedly asked them to take me off their call list.” When he challenges their right to call, the solicitors become combative, he said.

“There’s just nothing that they won’t do.” Madison, who works for a software company, says his phone number has been on the do-notcall list for years. Since he hasn’t made any progress getting “Ann” to stop calling, Madison has started to file complaints about her to the Federal Trade Commission, which oversees the list. Amid fanfare from consumer advocates, the federal do-not-call list was put in place nearly a decade ago as a tool to limit telemarketing sales calls to people who didn’t want to be bothered. The registry has more than 209 million phone numbers on it. That’s a significant chunk of the country, considering that there are about 84 million residential customers with traditional landline phones and plenty more people with cellphone numbers, which can also be placed on the list.

GOP focuses on monthly job report But do the voters? WASHINGTON (AP) — The government’s monthly jobs report has become Washington’s most anticipated and studied economic indicator, pounced upon by politicians, economists and journalists for snap judgments as the presidential election nears. But in the real world, most everybody else just looks around and figures things out for themselves. Is that steel plant closing? Are Ford or General Motors rehiring? How much are those groceries? What’s a full tank of gas going to run me? How much is our house worth? How’s that 401(k) doing? When will I find another job? Will our college-educated daughter ever find work and move out. These are the kinds of questions economists and pollsters say are on people’s minds more than government statistics. “People are not looking at these government reports to decide how the economy is doing, or how well they or their neighbors are doing. They know from their own daily exDemocratic perience,” pollster Mark Mellman said. “The flow of economic news matters,” but only to supplement what their own eyes tell them, Mellman added. New job numbers Given that the unemployment rate hasn’t dipped below 8 percent since the first month of President Barack Obama’s term, Republicans are seizing on the new jobs numbers that come out the first Friday of each month. The GOP is using the fresh figures to batter the president and revive the question famously asked by Ronald Reagan in 1980: “Are you better off now than you were four years ago?” “We’re going in the wrong direction,” GOP nominee Mitt Romney contends. “This president … doesn’t understand what it takes to make our economy work. I do.” The latest numbers show a jobless rate of 8.1 percent for August, with monthly job creation an anemic 96,000, not enough to even match the growth in working-age population. It’s doubtful the picture will improve much by Election Day. No president since Franklin D. Roosevelt in the 1930s has won re-election with an unemployment so high. Unemployment for Roosevelt was then about 15 percent, but falling from around 25 percent. Momentum and direction do count for something. The economy has lost a staggering 8.8 million jobs in the downturn and has clawed back only 4.1 million. Just two jobs reports remain before the Nov. 6 election — on Oct. 5 and Nov. 2 — and they could be crucial to the outcome. ‘Personal thing’ “To the average person, the economy is a very personal thing,” says White House communications director Dan Pfeiffer. He said people look at different factors. But which ones? “Jobs is still No. 1,” said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics. “It’s at the top of everyone’s list. People might not know the government

jobs number that comes out each month, but they see it every day in their lives.” A close second right now, Zandi says, are gasoline prices, with the national average grazing $4 a gallon. But otherwise, inflation is generally muted. Dan Connaghan, 69, a retiree in Traverse City, Mich., who supports Romney, agrees. “Unemployment figures don’t have an effect on my vote.” He questions their accuracy. But he also says there’s one thing he knows for sure: “We’re worse off than we were four years ago. No doubt about it.” Pollster Andrew Kohut, president of the Pew Research Center, said the government numbers “give people a basis of confirmation of their own sense about the economic issues that are the most important to them. And right now, it’s jobs.” 10% excellent or good Only 10 percent of the people in a recent Pew survey consider today’s economic conditions “excellent” or “good,” Kohut said. To homeowners, the value of their house ranks high. With nearly half the nation’s adult population owning stocks and other securities, mostly through 401(k) and similar programs at work or in pension funds, the Dow Jones Industrial Average is paid some heed. At its Friday close, the Dow marked its highest level since December 2007, the first month of the recession. Other reports are more ominous. The government reported this past week that the income of the typical American household has fallen to levels last seen in 1995. Interest rates are also followed by many. When they’re low, as now, it means individuals and businesses with good credit can borrow money at exceptionally low rates. But there is a down side. For savers and seniors on fixed-income, there are paltry payouts on balances often drawing interest of 1 percent or less. This only adds to anxiety, particularly among baby boomers and other older Americans, especially given the softness in housing prices. Underemployed Jabril Shaikh, 27, of Milwaukee, works at a temporary job in the legal department at a JPMorgan Chase bank. He considers himself underemployed and says he works with a lot of lawyers who are deeply in debt but are only temporary workers. “It’s really sad and frustrating … but this is all I can get right now, you know?” Leaning toward Obama, he said the unemployment rate will be a factor in his vote for president. But he’s also taking into account other social issues. Jonathan Ketcham, an Arizona State University associate professor who studies the link between local and state economies and presidential elections, said that, contrary to what many political operatives believe, voters are actually more influenced in their presidential decision by the national economy than by state or local conditions.

Obama, Romney courting key states, constituencies President begins week campaigning in Ohio BY KEN THOMAS The Associated Press BURLINGTON, Mass. (AP) — President Barack Obama and Republican Mitt Romney are embarking on a week heavy with travel through battleground states and apto key peals constituencies, with both campaigns wrangling over unrest in the Middle East and who is best equipped to rejuvenate the economy. Both candidates are courting voters in a series of must-win states and reaching out to a number of voting groups that could determine the election, from working-class white voters in states like Ohio and Wisconsin to Latino voters in Florida and viewers of a popular Spanish-language televi-

sion network. Obama and Romney have dueled for an advantage on foreign policy, with attention focused on unrest in the Middle East in reaction to an anti-Muslim video that led to the storming of several U.S. diplomatic posts and the killing of four Americans, including the U.S. ambassador to Libya. Romney’s campaign has pointed to the events in Egypt and Libya as evidence of national security weakness from the Obama administration. Susan Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, defended the administration on Sunday talk shows, calling the critique a “very empty and baseless charge of weakness.” Romney and Obama

have also tangled over China, each accusing the other of supporting policies that would move American jobs overseas. Romney released a television advertisement last week assailing Obama for “failing American workers” and ignoring unfair trade practices by China. Obama responded with an ad accusing Romney of outsourcing jobs to China when he worked in the private sector. Obama was kicking off a week of travel in Ohio on Monday, with stops planned in Cincinnati and Columbus. The president was raising campaign cash in New York on Tuesday, followed by events in Florida on Thursday, Virginia on Friday and Wisconsin on Saturday — all states

that Obama carried in the 2008 election. Obama was making his first trip to Wisconsin in months and his most pronounced pitch to voters there since Romney added Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan to the ticket. Wisconsin has not voted for a Republican presidential candidate since President Ronald Reagan in 1984 and is considered one of Romney’s most enticing electoral targets. Romney’s itinerary included fundraising stops in the Los Angeles area on Monday along with outreach to key Latino voters, including an address to the United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and an interview with Spanishlanguage television network Telemundo. The network interviewed

Obama, will be held Oct. 3 in Denver. Ohio Sen. Rob Portman, who is playing the role of Obama in Romney’s debate preparation, joined Romney on a Friday night flight to the Boston area. Romney officials would only say the former Massachusetts governor was holding “private meetings.” Romney had planned to hold a rally in Pueblo, Colo., later Sunday, but the event was cancelled after a small aircraft crashed at the Pueblo airport. The event was scheduled to be held at an aircraft museum near the airport. Romney spokesman Rick Gorka said the campaign did not want to interfere with the investigation or any emergency response efforts.

Obama last week. Romney was also expected to hold fundraising events in Utah and Texas before heading to Florida for fundraisers later in the week. Both campaigns have competed vigorously for voters in eight states likely to decide the election: Ohio, Florida, Virginia, Iowa, New Hampshire, Colorado, Nevada and North Carolina. The states have dominated the candidates’ attention in travel and advertising. Romney spent several hours at a Boston-area hotel with advisers on Sunday, prompting speculation that he was preparing for the upcoming presidential debates. The first debate, considered a crucial showdown between Romney and

then still emerging as a rock force. Surprisingly, the Robert Plant-fronted band was the opening act for Jose Feliciano. Feliciano had achieved success with his acoustic version of The Doors’ “Light My Fire,” but promoters wanted a rock band to attract students. Led Zeppelin did just fine for that. “People would not stop cheering, jumping and banging chairs when LZ concluded the scheduled set,” said Mike Pavlik, then a 17-year-old high school student. He had come to the concert with a friend who wanted to see Feliciano. He didn’t know much beforehand about Led Zeppelin.

ATHENS (AP) — For a total of only $5, an Ohio University student in 1969 could have seen two of the most iconic bands in rock ‘n’ roll history. The Athens Messenger recounted Sunday (http://bit.ly/RUcgju ) the hosting that seems so unlikely now of both Led Zeppelin and The Who on the southeastern Appalachian Ohio campus. With their rock opera album “Tommy” a major innovative hit, The Who came to town that November for an energetic show that delighted an excited crowd. “I remember (lead singer) Roger Daltrey swinging the microphone around by the cord wondering if I was going to get knocked out,” recalled Dan Hime, then a student reporter for The Post. Hime went backstage after the show to do interviews, but said he couldn’t get near Daltrey because of a throng of female fans. Pete Townshend continued to play air guitar to himself, he said, but he did interview bassist John Entwhistle and drummer Keith Moon. Both were relaxed and friendly, Hime said, although Moon’s relaxation was no doubt helped by a bottle of whiskey a student had provided for his use during the show. That was promoter Steve

‘The Master’ smashes records LOS ANGELES (AP) — Paul Thomas Anderson’s cult drama “The Master” commanded a huge following in its opening weekend, smashing records on just a handful of screens. The Weinstein Co. release made $729,745 in five theaters in New York and Los Angeles for a record-setting per-screen average of $145,949, according to Sunday studio estimates. The hugely anticipated film, which just won several of the top awards at the Venice Film Festival and will open in more cities in upcoming weeks, stars Philip Seymour Hoffman as a charismatic cult leader and Joaquin Phoenix as his wayward protege.

Occupy is in disarry 1 year on, spirit still lives NEW YORK (AP) — Occupy Wall Street began to disintegrate in rapid fashion last winter, when the weekly meetings in New York City devolved into a spectacle of fistfights and vicious arguments. Punches were thrown and objects were hurled at moderators’ heads. Protesters accused each other of being patriarchal and racist and domineering. Nobody could agree on anything and nobody was in charge. The moderators went on strike and refused to show up, followed in quick succession by the people who kept meeting minutes. And then the meetings stopped altogether. In the city where the movement was born, Occupy was falling apart. “We weren’t talking about real things at that point,” says Pete Dutro, a tattoo artist who used to manage Occupy’s finances but became disillusioned by the infighting and walked away months ago. “We were talking about each other.” The trouble with Occupy Wall Street, a year after it bloomed in a granite park in

lower Manhattan and spread across the globe, is that nobody really knows what it is anymore. To say whether Occupy was a success or a failure depends on how you define it. Occupy is a network. Occupy is a metaphor. Occupy is still alive. Occupy is dead. Occupy is the spirit of revolution, a lost cause, a dream deferred. “I would say that Occupy today is a brand that represents movements for social and economic justice,” says Jason Amadi, a 28-year-old protester who now lives in Philadelphia. “And that many people are using this brand for the quest of bettering this world.” On Monday, protesters will converge near the New York Stock Exchange to celebrate Occupy’s anniversary, marking the day they began camping out in Zuccotti Park. Marches and rallies in more than 30 cities around the world will commemorate the day. About 300 people observing the anniversary marched Saturday. At least a dozen were arrested, mostly on charges of disorderly conduct, police said.

But the movement is now a shadow of its mighty infancy, when a group of young people harnessed the power of a disillusioned nation and took to the streets chanting about corporate greed and inequality. Back then it was a rallying cry, a force to be reckoned with. But as the encampments were broken up and protesters lost a gathering place, Occupy in turn lost its ability to organize. The movement had grown too large too quickly. Without leaders or specific demands, what started as a protest against income inequality turned into an amorphous protest against everything wrong with the world. “We were there to occupy Wall Street,” Dutro says. “Not to talk about every social ill that we have.” The community that took shape in Zuccotti Park still exists, albeit in a far less cohesive form. Occupiers mostly keep in touch online through a smattering of websites and social networks. There are occasional conference calls and Occupy-affiliated newsletters. Meetings

are generally only convened to organize around specific events, like the much-hyped May Day event that ultimately fizzled last spring. The movement’s remaining $85,000 in assets were frozen, though fundraising continues. “The meetings kind of collapsed under their own weight,” explains Marisa Holmes, a 26-year-old protester among the core organizers who helped Occupy rise up last fall. “They became overly concerned with financial decisions. They became bureaucratic.” In other words, they became a combustible microcosm of the society that Occupiers had decided to abandon — a new, equally flawed society with its own set of miniature hierarchies and toxic relationships. Even before the ouster at Zuccotti Park, the movement had been plagued with noise and sanitary problems, an inability to make decisions and a widening rift between the park’s fulltime residents and the movement’s power players, most of whom no longer lived in the park.

Protesters break through barricade KARACHI, Pakistan (AP) — Hundreds of Pakistanis protesting an anti-Islam film broke through a barricade near the U.S. Consulate in the southern city of Karachi on Sunday, sparking clashes with police in which one demonstrator was killed and more than a dozen injured. In a move that could escalate tensions around the Arab world, the leader of the Hezbollah militant group called for protests against the movie, saying protesters should not only ‘express our anger’ at U.S. embassies but urge leaders to act. The film, which denigrates Islam’s Prophet Muhammad, has sparked violent protests in many Muslim countries in recent days, including one in Libya in which the U.S. ambassador was killed. The U.S. has responded by deploying additional military forces to increase security in certain hotspots. In a televised speech, Hezbollah leader Sheik Hassan Nasrallah said the U.S. must be held accountable for the film, which was produced in the United States. The U.S. government has condemned the film. “The ones who should be held accountable and boycotted are those who support and protect the producers, namely the U.S. administration,” Nasrallah said. He called for protests on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. He urged protesters to call on their leaders to express their anger too. “We should not only express our anger at an American embassy here or there. We should tell our rulers in the Arab and Muslim world that it is ‘your responsibility in the first place’

PAKISTANI PROTESTERS throw stones toward police as they walk toward the U.S. consulate during a demonstration in Karachi, Pakistan on Sunday. Hundreds of Pakistanis protesting an anti-Islam video produced in the United States clashed with police Sunday as they tried to march toward the U.S. Consulate in the southern city of Karachi, while thousands of others held peaceful demonstrations in other parts of the country. and since you officially represent the governments and states of the Muslim world you should impose on the United States, Europe and the whole world that our prophet, our Quran and our holy places and honor of our Prophet be respected,” he told his followers in a televised speech. Nasrallah said he waited to speak out about the film until Sunday, when Pope Benedict XVI ended his three-day trip to Lebanon. In Pakistan, police fired tear gas and water cannons at the protesters in Karachi after they broke through the barricade and reached the outer wall of the U.S. Consulate, police officer Mohammad Ranjha said. The protesters threw stones and bricks, prompting the police to beat back the crowd with their batons. The

police and private security guards outside the consulate also fired in the air to disperse the crowd. One protester was killed during the clash, said Ali Ahmar, spokesman for the Shiite Muslim group that organized the rally. An official with the main ambulance service in the city, Khurram Ahmad, confirmed they carried away one dead protester and 18 others who were injured. All Americans who work at the consulate, which is located in the heart of Karachi, were safe, Rian Harris, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Embassy in Islamabad, said. Thousands more held peaceful demonstrations against the film in other parts of the country, including the eastern city of Lahore and the northwest city

SOLDIERS “ISAF takes full responsibility for this tragedy,” a statement said. Villagers from a remote part of Laghman province’s Alingar district drove the bodies to the provincial capital, claiming they were killed by NATO aircraft while they were out gathering firewood before dawn. “They were shouting ‘Death to America!’ They were condemning the attack,” said Laghman provincial government spokesman Sarhadi Zewak. Four bodies, covered in blankets, were seen by an Associated Press journalist at the governor’s office in the provincial capital, Mehterlam. Seven injured females were also brought to area hospitals for treatment, some of them as

of Dera Ismail Khan. The demonstration in Lahore was organized by Jamaatud-Dawa, believed to be a front organization for a powerful militant group blamed for attacks in the Indian city of Mumbai in 2008 that killed over 160 people. The protesters shouted anti-U.S. slogans and burned an American flag. “Our war will continue until America is destroyed!” shouted some of the protesters. “Dog, dog, America is a dog!” chanted others. The head of Jamaat-udDawa, Hafiz Mohammad Saeed, who has a $10 million U.S. bounty on his head, addressed the crowd and demanded the Pakistani government shut down the U.S. Embassy and all consulates in the country until the filmmakers are punished.

From Page 1 young as 10 years old, said provincial health director Latif Qayumi. NATO forces said that the strike killed a large number of insurgents — as many as 45 — but may have also killed civilians. There may have been five to eight Afghan civilians killed in the strike, said Capt. Dan Einert, a spokesman for international forces in Afghanistan. He said they were still investigating the report. “Protecting Afghan lives is the cornerstone of our mission and it saddens us when we learn that our action might have unintentionally harmed civilians,” said Jamie Graybeal, another spokesman for the international military in Afghanistan.

Afghan President Hamid Karzai “strongly condemns the airstrike by NATO forces which resulted in the deaths of eight women,” a statement from his office said. It said the Afghan government was also investigating. The recent violence also comes amid an international uproar about an Internet video mocking the Prophet Muhammad that many fear could further aggravate Afghan-U.S. relations. The video has sparked protests throughout the Muslim world and the Afghan government blocked the YouTube site that hosts the video and its parent company, Google Inc., over the weekend in a move to prevent violent protests. So far, protests in Afghanistan have remained

peaceful. Details of Sunday’s attack on the U.S. troops were slow to come out because it took place in a remote area, said Graybeal, the NATO forces spokesman. “The attack took place in the vicinity of an outpost in southern Afghanistan. It is my understanding that it was a checkpoint,” Graybeal said. International forces often work with Afghan police to man checkpoints as part of the effort to train and mentor the Afghan forces so that they can eventually operate on their own. The goal is to turn over all security responsibility for the country to the Afghans by the end of 2014, though numbers of NATO forces have already been reduced in many areas.

is so darn hard to remove! Try again with the hottest water possible and the longest cycle, to allow more time for the coating to dissolve. You might let them soak for a while in the hot water. Then dry towels in the dryer (sans fabric softener), which will help soften them. If this doesn’t work, try soaking the towels in vinegar. This should help to break down the sizing. Another alternative is to try using washing soda. I hope this helps soften the problem. — Heloise

HOROSCOPE

BY FRANCIS DRAKE What kind of day will tomorrow be? To find out what the stars say, read the forecast given for your birth sign. For Wednesday, Sept. 19, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You’ll have no trouble defending your own best interests today, especially regarding shared property, taxes, debt or inheritances. You will compete for what you want! TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Be careful in disagreements with others today, because they will come on strong! Best to know this before you open Pandora’s box. (Yikes.) GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You will be enormously productive at work today. You have tons of mental and physical energy, plus you want to show off to others just how much you can get done in a certain amount of time. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) This is a playful, flirtatious day! In particular, it’s a powerful day for those of you who participate in sports. Romantic relationships also will be competitive!

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Use today’s energy to push furniture around and rearrange things for the better at home. In dealings with family members, you’ll defend your best interests. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You are highly convincing today! That’s why this is a powerful day for those of you who sell, write, teach, market, act or even drive for a living. You’re going after what you want. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You’re willing to work hard to earn money today, but you’re just as willing to spend it. Cash is flying; let’s hope you can hold onto some of it. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) It’s easy to lose your temper today, so be aware of this. If anyone challenges you, you will not back down because you have so much emotional and mental vigor. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You will work hard to uncover secrets or discover solutions to old problems today. Nothing is too much trouble. You look under every rock.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Others might be surprised by how competitive you are, especially in group situations. You want the first word and the last — and you intend to win. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Your ambition is aroused. This is one of the reasons others notice you more than usual today. In particular, they might learn some private information about you. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Make plans to travel, because you need to get outta Dodge. Others will be bold about exploring opportunities in publishing, medicine, the law and anything to do with higher education. YOU BORN TODAY The appearance of things matters to you, the appearance of your surroundings as well as your own personal appearance. You love elegance and simplicity, and ideally, you like to be organized. You can be very dedicated about working to improve yourself. Most of you have excellent taste. Your year ahead will be delightfully social and one that blesses all relationships. Birthdate of: Sylvia Tyson, singer/songwriter; Daniel Lanois, record producer/musician; Kevin Zegers, actor.

PIQUA — Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society at Edison Community College is requesting donations of good, clean, used books, movies and music. Phi Theta Kappa would like to have them for its third used-book sale. The group also needs music and movies. Members are looking for family-friendly paperbacks, hardbacks, textbooks, recipe books, Christian and religious books, children’s books and other books that are fiction or nonfiction, along with movies on VCR or DVD, and music of different genres. The group is requesting no books that would reflect badly on Edison or Phi Theta Kappa. The organization is also requesting no donations of encyclopedias, dictionaries or magazines, as they are unlikely to sell. The organization hopes to raise funds for Phi Theta Kappa projects. Donors should leave books, music and movies in the large boxes or barrel at the Edison Community College entrances located at the main entrance on the west side of Edison, at the north entrance

and at the entrance to the new Emerson addition. They are marked with Phi Theta Kappa Used-Book Sale on them. The book sale is scheduled for Nov. 26, 27 and 28 in the Edison Pavilion. It is open to the public. Donations are accepted through Nov. 26. Boxes will be available beginning on Wednesday. Edison Community College is located at 1973 Edison Drive off of Looney Road. Donations can be dropped off between 8 a.m. and 9 p.m., Monday through Friday, and from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. on Saturdays during school hours. Phi Theta Kappa is the international honor society of the two-year college. Those who join Phi Theta Kappa must have a 3.5 grade-point average and must maintain a 3.0 grade-point average while a member. Anyone with questions about dropping off books or who have questions about the book sale should call (937) 489-3711 or (937) 5703073. Callers should leave a message if no one is available and the call will be returned.

New sidewalk connects campuses PIQUA — Edison Community College and Upper Valley Career Center faculty, staff members and students were on hand for a ceremonial ribbon-cutting Wednesday to celebrate the completion of a paved sidewalk connecting the two campuses. Edison President Dr. Cristobal Valdez and UVCC Superintendent Dr. Nancy Luce led the ceremony along with three post-secondary option (PSEOP) students from the UVCC. The paved walkway will make it easier for students participating in the PSEO program to travel back and forth between the newly renovated UVCC and Edison’s campus.

Buckeyes avoid upset BY JIM NAVEAU Civitas Media

AP Photo/Alan Diaz

CINCINNATI REDS second baseman Brandon Phillips, top, jumps to avoid Miami Marlins’ Giancarlo Stanton in the second inning of a baseball game in Miami Sunday.

Reds win in 11, 5-4 MIAMI (AP) — The Cincinnati Reds tied a season high with 17 hits and it was their final one that proved to be the biggest. Ryan Ludwick hit a goahead single in the 11th inning to lift the Reds to a 5-4 win over the Miami Marlins on Sunday. “That was a big one for us,” Ludwick said. “That’s a team fighting to spoil people probably and they gave us all we could handle for three straight days. Just to be able to get that one was very important. Ludwick, Dioner Navarro, and Didi Gregorius each had three hits for the Reds, who left 14 men on base. “We did get a lot of hits,” Reds manager Dusty Baker said. “We left a ton of guys on base, had a lot of opportunities, which is the name of the game. The more opportunities you get, sooner or later going to bust you’re through.” Jonathan Broxton came on to pitch the bottom of the 11th for his second save with the Reds. Carlos Zambrano (7-10) was the Marlins’ ninth pitcher of the game when he came on to pitch the 11th. Zambrano, who had not pitched since Sept. 7, issued a lead-off single to Chris Heisey and walked Joey Votto before Ludwick singled through the left side for a 5-4 lead. “When you lay off that much, you can’t ask too much,” Marlins manager Ozzie Guillen said. “On the other hand my starting pitchers have been throwing seven, eight innings plus the last week, week and a half. That’s why the guys in the bullpen have not been pitching that much.” Miami had an opportunity to score in the 10th when Giancarlo Stanton came to the plate with two runners on, but Logan Ondrusek (4-2) struck him out. “Ondrusek came in and got a big, big out on Stanton,” Baker said. Donovan Solano drew a two-out walk from Broxton, who got John Buck to fly out to the deepest part of the ballpark to end the game. Buck’s deep fly to center field was caught by Drew Stubbs just in front of the 418-foot wall. “I knew in this ballpark to never give up on it because it’s so deep out there,” Stubbs said. Jose Reyes hit a tying double off the right-field wall in the eighth inning off Mat Latos. “I thought the ball that Reyes hit was a homer,” Baker said. “I didn’t see where it hit on the wall and I was glad it stayed in the ball park.”

COLUMBUS – Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller left Ohio Stadium after the Buckeyes survived a determined upset bid by California on Saturday wearing a t-shirt with a picture on it of cartoon character Wile E Coyote, the persistent plotter who is always outsmarted by his nemesis the Road Runner. It seemed a strange choice for someone quick enough to avoid any anvil falling from the sky and skilled enough to avoid falling over any cliff. Make no mistake about it, though, Miller did save Ohio State from going over a cliff with two fourth-quarter touchdown passes that led OSU to a 35-28 win on a day when California could have gone home with a stunning upset. Miller copied a play Tim Tebow used for OSU coach Urban Meyer at Florida to throw a jump pass for a 3-yard touchdown to Jake Stoneburner with 8 ½ minutes to play. Then he found a wide-open Devin Smith for the game-winner on a 72-yard pass play with 3 ½ minutes to play. California had put Ohio State’s offense into slow motion for much of the second half after OSU jumped out to a 20-7 lead early in the second quarter. Three and out became a repetitive refrain as No. 12 OSU (3-0) managed only two first downs in its next seven offensive possessions after taking that big early lead. And Ohio State’s defense wasn’t any better, surrendering 512 yards total offense to the Bears. Cal (1-2) erased OSU’s 207 lead, first with an 81-yard touchdown run by Brendan Bigelow, then with a 1-yard sneak by quarterback Zach

OHIO STATE'S Devin Smith runs for a touchdown after catching a pass against California during the fourth quarter of an NCAA college football game Saturday in Columbus. Ohio State beat California 35-28. Maynard, to go ahead 21-20 with 12:26 left in the game Then, after Miller connected with Stoneburner for a TD and ran for a two-point conversion to put Ohio State out front 28-21, Bigelow struck again, going 59 yards for a score that tied it at 28-28. “Our guys found a way,” Meyer said. “I’ve been in games before where I thought we were going to lose. I just kept waiting. I thought someone would make a play. The way to winning the game went through Miller when he and Smith recreated a fourth-quarter connection reminiscent of their gamewinner in the final quarter

against Wisconsin last season. Smith (5 catches for 145 yard, 2 touchdowns) wasn’t the No. 1 target on the play, but when a cornerback and safety both went to Corey (Philly) Brown, Miller went to Smith. “They automatically went to Philly because I looked at him. You work on that in practice. Seize the moment,” Miller said. Meyer said, “I love coaching Braxton. There’s not a whole lot of panic in him.” Ohio State needed one more big moment, this one on defense, before it was over. Christian Bryant’s interception at the Buckeyes’ 37-yard

line with 1:22 left on the clock. Miller was 16 of 30 passing for 249 yards and four touchdowns and rushed for 75 yards on 12 carries, fewer than half of the 27 carries he got last week against Central Florida. The sophomore QB had a role in all five of Ohio State’s touchdowns. He began OSU’s scoring with a 55-yard run in the first quarter, then hit Smith with a 25-yard pass for the Buckeyes’ second score. Tailback Jordan Hall started the game and rushed for 87 yards on 17 carries in his first action of the season after surgery to repair a torn tendon in his foot in late June.

Bengals hang on to edge Browns CINCINNATI (AP) — The onside kick tumbled one last time, right into the arms of A.J. Green. Cincinnati’s Pro Bowl receiver pulled it close and covered it up, a modest finish to a game full of wild plays. It provided a familiar ending, too. Adam “Pacman” Jones returned Cleveland’s first punt 81 yards for a touchdown on Sunday, and Andy Dalton tied his career high with three touchdown passes, leading the Bengals to a 34-27 victory in their one-sided rivalry. The Bengals (1-1) have won 13 of the past 16 against the Browns (0-2), who got breakout performances from their rookie quarterback and running back but still couldn’t get a win. “It’s a relief,” Green said. “We had butterflies. We felt like we needed this one. Now we can just relax and go back to playing.” Like a lot of games in the intrastate series, this one came down to merely holding on. Cleveland quarterback Brandon Weeden threw for 322 yards and a pair of touchdowns, rebounding from one of the worst debuts in NFL history ‚Äî four interceptions against the Eagles and a 5.1 passer rating. Trent Richardson became the first Browns rookie to run for 100 yards and score on a run and a pass in the same game, according to STATS LLC. The big day wasn’t enough to stop Cleveland from falling to 0-2 for the fifth time in the past seven seasons. “We’re getting there,” Wee-

den said. “The running game definitely takes a lot of pressure off of me. It helps when you run the ball.” Cincinnati improved to 4236 in the 44-year series, the biggest lead by either team. The Browns had linebacker Scott Fujita back after his three-game bounty suspension was overturned on appeal. Cleveland missed top cornerback Joe Haden, who served the first week of his four-game suspension for violating the league’s policy on performance-enhancing substances. Cornerback Sheldon Brown also was out of the lineup with a shoulder injury. Dalton took advantage of the depleted secondary by completing 24 of 31 for 318 yards with six sacks and an interception. Andrew Hawkins turned a short catch into a 50-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter that kept Cincinnati in control. Dalton also threw a 10yard touchdown pass to Green and a 44-yarder to Brandon Tate, using all of his receivers. “We’ve been saying all along that we’ve got a lot of guys with talent,” Dalton said. “It was great getting them into the game and seeing them make the plays that they did.” The Bengals’ defense got shredded during a 44-13 loss in Baltimore on Monday night that matched the most lopsided opening defeat in franchise history. They let Weeden get some confidence and allowed Richardson to slip through their fingers, keeping it close. “We gave up some big plays,” middle linebacker Rey

Lehman girls blank Anna in soccer, 2-0 Lady Cavs up record to 6-0 with win

ANNA’S CAYLA Bensman (left) and Lehman’s Madeline Franklin converge on the ball in high school soccer action at Lehman Saturday between the two county rivals. Lehman came away with a 2-0 win.

Bremen leads area teams Anna, Lehman, New Bremen, Marion Local, Minster, New Knoxville and Russia all competed Saturday in the Jordan Moeller Memorial Boys Golf Tournament, held at the Mercer County Elks. Van Wert won the 16team event with a 325. New Bremen had the top score among local/area teams with a

338, two strokes better than Minster and five strokes better than Russia. Anna shot a 370, Lehman 393, Marion Local 398 and New Knoxville 418. New Bremen’s Darin Bergman fired a 76, as did Minster’s Freddie Purdy. That was just one stroke off the medalist round of 75 by Jacob

Brake of Van Wert. Anna was led by Andy Linkmeyer with a 90. Lehman was led by John Copella with an 80. Austin Tebbe led Russia with an 80, Tyler Shreve led Knoxville with an 88, and Derek Platfoot led Marion Local with a 94. See BREMEN/Page 15

Lehman controlled the action from start to finish and went on to defeat the Anna Lady Rockets 2-0 in a girls soccer matchup of county rivals. The two were both unbeaten coming into the game. Lehman is now 60 on the year, and the Lady Rockets come away with a 4-1-2 mark. Lehman is back in action Tuesday at Bethel. Anna is at Miami East the same night. “We possessed the ball probably threequarters of the game,” said Lehman coach Tony Schroeder. “Anna is definitely one of the games the girls look forward to playing. A lot of the girls play club soccer together. I wish we could have this energy level for all the games we play.” The two teams haven’t seen the last of each other, either. They will meet again at Anna on Oct. 11. Lehman took the lead just five minutes into the contest when Jenna Kronenberger launched a shot from 20 yards out that found the top corner for a 1-0 lead. Ten minutes later Sarah Titterington had a corner kick, and Madeline Franklin was there to knock it in for a 2-0 lead. “Their goalie had an awesome game,” said Schroeder of Anna’s Kristen Grimes. “She had 14 saves, and some of them were just great saves. “I have to credit our

defense because we didn’t allow them to get any shots in the second half and only two for the game,” he added. “Jordi Emrick, Stephany McEldowney, Carly Baird and McKenna Guillozet did a great job for us. And we controlled the ball with Marla Schroeder and Sara Fuller. They really worked well together.” Schroeder said the Lady Rockets were hurt by the absence of defender Krista Blankenship. “With her out, they have to move Erica Huber and Cayla Bensman back to sweeper,” he said. “They are two of the best offensive players we’ll see and that took away a lot of their offense.”

Lady Jackets nip Celina 1-0 The Sidney girls edged Celina in a tight match Saturday in high school soccer, upping their record on the year to 7-2 heading to Piqua on Wednesday. Sidney got off to a fast start, scoring just 30 seconds into the game when Morgan Knasel took the ball off the kickoff and crossed it to a charging Monique Hanayik for the goal, which would be the only one of the day. “I knew we would have to be ready to play coming into the game,” said Sidney coach Stacey Goffena. “Going to Celina is always a tough environment due to the short field and the fact that there are only

two referees instead of three like we’re used to. Plus, our last four games have not been challenging, and Celina always has a good team. So I knew we were going to have to play hard for 80 minutes and I thought the girls handled themselves well. We made a few mistakes defensively and missed a lot of shot opportunities, but overall we had a solid game. We outshot them 25-6 but just couldn’t capitalize.” Lindsey Sturwold posted the shutout in goal, recording four saves. The junior varsity also won 1-0.

Lehman boys fall to Ottoville The Lehman boys lost 5-0 to a strong Ottoville Saturday in boys soccer action. The Cavaliers trailed just 1-0 at the intermission, but the roof caved in at the start of the second half, with all four of Ottoville’s goals coming in the first 15 minutes. The loss dropped them to 3-2-1 on the season. “Ottoville lost in overtime to Kalida in the tournament last year and Kalida played in the regional championship,” said Lehman coach Tom Thornton. “And Ottoville had nine seniors back so they are very good. We had some chances but couldn’t finish.” Nick Earhart had 11 saves in goal for the Cavaliers, who play at Bethel Tuesday.

ARLO & JANIS

HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE For Tuesday, Sept. 18, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You might feel unusually rebellious today. (I say “unusually” because you feel rebellious all the time!) Don’t do anything you will later regret. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A vague, restless energy within you might push you to reconsider certain life-belief systems. Or you might be taking a new point of view about religion, philosophy or politics. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Your approach to friends and groups is changing quite radically. You like to have an adoring peanut gallery, but lately, their changing membership makes life even more fresh and exciting! CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Tread softly when dealing with authority figures now, because you are a bit much for them to handle. You feel rebellious and independent! (You know who you are.) LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) For a while now, you have been changing your loyalties regarding religion, politics and even countries. It’s just what is happening. Ultimately, it will be for the better. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Surprises or upsets with shared property, inheritances, taxes and debt are unavoidable, it seems. Just ride this one out and things will be OK. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Certain aspects of your closest friendships and partnerships are changing now, but they are changing for the better. You also feel more free and more like yourself. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Through self-employment or changes in your job, you feel more free and more in charge of what you are doing. Many of you even feel younger! SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Radical ways to approach vacations, romance and your creative expression are very exciting for you now. Your life is opening up in a wonderful, playful way! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) For some time now, changes taking place at home have been unpredictable, yet they were changes that lead to more freedom for you. Now that you have this freedom, you can’t go back. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) By nature, you are modern and revolutionary. But even for you, you’ve been more daring and bold about going after what you want on a daily basis. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) New ways of earning money, especially through self-employment, offer dazzling opportunities for you now. Be brave and grab them! Don’t create a situation in which you will regret what you didn’t do. YOU BORN TODAY You are serious and often reclusive. In particular, you’re secretive about your personal life. You are passionate about your personal beliefs, which totally affect your lifestyle (one that, hopefully, surrounds you in beauty). Many of you live far away from where you were born. In the year ahead, a major change could occur, possibly as significant as something that happened around 2003. Birthdate of: Greta Garbo, film icon; Lynn Abbey, author; Darryl Sittler, hockey player.

How long will it exposure with its ultratake to dry up? — J.B. violet rays. ANSWER: Who These cancers arise

from the lowest layer of skin cells, the basal layer. At first, they are red, scaly, slightly raised areas of skin about the size of a mosquito bite or larger. Most of the time they appear on the face. As time passes, an ulcer (an open sore) forms, and the cancer grows larger. Removal of the cancer is the proper treatment, and that is done in a number of ways. It can be dried up with electric current (electrodesiccation), frozen, surgically removed or treated with a laser. A cream containing 5-fluorouracil, applied twice daily, for three to six weeks or more is an-

other approved method. Mohs surgery is a special technique in which thin slices of the cancer are cut and imexamined mediately with a microscope to find any cancer cells. Removal of slices continues until no cancer cells are seen. A dermatologist is the doctor to see to confirm the diagnosis and help you choose the appropriate treatment. For prevention, always apply sunblock to your face when you are outside, even briefly. Electrodessication, freezing and surgery get rid of the cancer immediately. Healing takes a couple of weeks.

young people have been stepping forward to take their place. In fact, according to a recent talent shortage survey by ManpowerGroup, more jobs for skilled tradesmen go unfilled than any other category of employment. Why? Because there aren’t enough trained replacements to fill openings for electricians, welders, mechanics, plumbers, roofers and more. Part of the reason may be our emphasis on pursuing advanced college degrees for almost everyone. But another may be the lack of respect that has been shown for these vital occupations. The result has been, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, that for every three tradesmen who retire, only one person is stepping up to fill the gap. I hear from many readers whose young adult children are unable to find work. Talk with

them about this. People in the trades can earn good money. Visit a local community college with your son or daughter and learn more about classes and certifications available for skilled trades. And please, show tradespeople how much their contributions are valued. Call your favorite handyman, plumber and HVAC technician not to once again scream for help, but to express your appreciation. Treat them to a box of your special home-baked cookies or brownies, refer them to your friends and family so they can get additional business, write to your local newspapers, websites or blogs expressing your appreciation. Visit nationaltradesmenday.com, and please remember, these hardworking individuals need to know that although National Tradesmen Day is Friday, we are grateful for their efforts the other 364 days a year, too.

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 branches are Union trained at spotting fake checks, these types of scams are growing increasingly sophisticated and fake checks often aren't caught for weeks. Funds wired through Western Union or MoneyGram are irretrievable and virtually untraceable.

God saw he was getting tired and a cure was not to be, so He put His arms around him and whispered “Come with Me”. With tearful eyes we watched him suffer and we saw him fade away although we loved him dearly, we could not make him stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best!
