Veterans bound for D.C. BY MELANIE SPEICHER mspeicher@sdnccg.com WASHINGTON, D.C. — It takes a single step to start a journey. For 35 Vietnam veterans, that single step began when they started their military careers. Some served in Vietnam. Others were stationed in other locations around the world, working in support of those soldiers in Vietnam. Their steps have brought them back to Shelby County. And this weekend their steps will take them to the nation’s capital, where the healing process will take a another step forward as they visit the Vietnam Wall, a memorial built on the sacrifices of young men and women who were serving their county.

CO resigns after punching inmate A corrections officer at the Shelby County Jail resigned Friday after allegedly punching an inmate in the face. Sheriff John Lenhart reportedly rel i e v e d Corrections Officer Teresa McElfresh McElfresh, 59, of Sidney, of her duties shortly after the incident. An internal affairs investigation was then conducted. Lenhart said that

after the investigation he requested a review of the incident by Shelby County Prosecutor Ralph Bauer. Bauer reviewed the case and referred it to Sidney Municipal Court Prosecutor Jeff Amick. A misdemeanor assault charge is being considered but has not yet been filed. Lenhart said he learned of the alleged assault on Aug. 31. Reportedly, the previous day an inmate had spit on correctional staff employees after which McElfresh, who was not among those spat upon,

punched the female inmate twice on the side of her face with her fist while the inmate was restrained in a chair. The inmate, Elizabeth Young, 19, of Sidney, is incarcerated on an arson charge and scheduled to be released Jan. 17. Young was evaluated by medical staff and found not to have been injured. McElfresh reportedly has had multiple disciplinary actions taken against her over the course of her employment with the sheriff ’s office. In a similar incident on March 19, 2000, she reportedly punched

an inmate who tried to spit on a corrections officer. McElfresh was given a written reprimand at the time. “Correctional officers are often subjected to harsh acts by inmates,” Lenhart said. “They are often spit on, have urine thrown on them and are subjected to various acts of aggression by the very inmates they are there to protect. We continue to strive to educate and train the staff to tolerate certain activities by inmates. They have to restrain themselves from acting See CO/Page 5A

Sidney school Russia to host appropriations down first biz expo BY KATHY LEESE

RUSSIA — As part of its long-standing mission of promoting a strong business climate in the Russia area, the Village of Russia will have its first ever Business Expo Oct. 3 from 3:30 to 7 p.m. at St. Remy Hall. More than 40 Russia-area manufacturing, commercial and retail businesses will showcase their capabilities for people to experience what is available right here in this area. Admission is free and complimentary food and drink will be available. Health professionals will be on hand to provide free health screenings. In addition, one lucky attendee will win a $50 door prize. “This Expo will provide a wonderful and exciting opportunity for our businesses to showcase their organizations

in a most meaningful way,” said Russia Mayor Terry Daugherty. “Companies exhibiting represent a variety of business interests, including manufacturing, banking, restaurant, construction, professional services, and more. We invite everyone not only in Shelby County but in all neighboring counties to join us in Russia on Oct 3 and experience this opportunity first-hand.” A business capsule with information on each exhibitor is available at the Village of Russia website at http://www.russiaoh.com. Those interested in attending will find the newly-remodeled St Remy Hall located at the corner of Main Street and St Remy Street in the heart of Russia. Plenty of parking is available.

The Sidney City School System has its financial house in order and is committed to living within its means. That was the message delivered to the Sidney Board of Education Monday, after which members approved annual appropriations totaling $39,235,507, down 4.48 percent from the previous year. The numbers reflect a loss of approximately $2.9 million because of students enrolling in other districts and because of sacrifices made by staff to help the district get through tough times. School District Treasurer Mike Watkins said overall appropriations are down from $41,074,376 in 2012 to $39,235,507 in 2013. General fund appropriations are up 0.64 percent to $30,898,000, from $30,700,000 in the last fiscal year, Watkins stated.

“The increase in general funds appropriations is not in salary and benefits, but can be found in purchased services and other uses,” Watkins noted. Purchased services had appropriations of $6,700,000 in 2012 and appropriations of $7,250,000 for 2013, an increase of 8.21 percent. In 2012, “other uses” had appropriations of $450,000 and in 2013 are $546,000, an increase of 21.33 percent. “The purchased services increase consists of a general anticipation of increased expenditures,” Watkins said. “Fiscal year 2012 actual expenditures were up 16.9 percent over 2011, primarily due to the increased number of students open enrolling to other school districts. The ‘other uses’ appropriation is up 21.33 percent due to the expected increase in funds being transferred from the See SCHOOL/Page 2A

SCHOOL general fund to the permanent improvement (PI) fund. The PI fund is used to support the upkeep and maintenance of the district’s building and grounds, purchase of buses and equipment. Typically, you would expect these activities to be supported by a permanent improvement levy, but the district’s PI levy was not renewed a couple years ago when it expired, so the general fund is now needed to support these activities,” Watkins stated. He noted there are financial concerns facing the district. “One of the biggest concerns financially for the district is the amount of funding lost due to students open enrolling (in) neighboring school districts. Sidney City Schools (SCS) anticipates the loss of nearly $2.9 million annually due to open enrollment.”

Levy expiring “The second biggest concern is that the 9.9mill emergency operating levy which was approved in 2009 will expire on Dec. 31, 2013. The first opportunity for the district to place this issue on the ballot will be November 2013. While many times renewals are generally apthe local proved, economy still sees a number of families unemployed or underemployed. The district will endeavor over the next year to explore the best option to bring to the voters of the district,” Watkins said. “From a revenue perspective, I do not see anything to indicate improvements. The two primary sources of revenue for school districts are property taxes and state funding. It is the district’s anticipation that both sources will recognize virtually flat funding for the forseeable future,” Watkins said. “For the past three fiscal years, the district had received some form of

From Page 1 federal funding, ARRA or Education Job Funds, but that has since gone away without other revenue available to replace it.”

Better shape “Compared to a couple years ago, the district is in financially better shape, but it has not been due to increased revenue. The district’s financial improvement can be credited to the staff. Last year, at the conclusion of contract negotiations, all district staff agreed to a 2.75 percent salary reduction in year one, a pay freeze for the following three years and increase in their share of the health insurance premium from 9 to 20 percent,” Watkins stated. the “Additionally, teaching staff agreed to accept two furlough (unpaid) days in their contract year for all four years of the contract. These are the most significant concessions of any school district in Ohio. Additionally, staffing levels have been reduced in all areas - administration, teachers and classified (staff). Supply budgets were reduced by nearly 50 percent in fiscal year 2010 and that level of spending has been maintained through the most recent fiscal year. Also, capital expenditures have been maintained at the lowest reasonable levels for the past four to five years,” Watkins stated. “The district understands the difficulties that exist in today’s economy and have been sensitive to the community’s concern that the schools must live within their means. I believe the steps taken by all of the staff, administration, teachers and classified (employees) demonstrates their efforts to do….that. While the district’s five-year forecast is favorable, a key piece of the assumptions is the renewal of the 9.9-mill operating emergency

levy or some other taxing measure to continue that revenue stream,” Watkins said. Superintendent John Scheu gave his perspective on the district’s finances. “Compared to over one year ago, our financial picture indicates we are in much better shape and on solid financial ground. Our fiveyear financial forecast is indicative of this financial stability. This was done through administrative staff reductions, salary and benefit concessions by all staff and continually reining in costs and reducing costs every imaginable way, including the recent decision by the board of education to house the Alternative School at Sidney High School, resulting in a cost savings of $200,000 in year one and $100,000 from year two on. However, since the schools did not renew the expiring levy several years ago, it has resulted in all PI expenditures, such as bus purchases, roof repairs, parking lot upkeep and computer purchases, being taken out of our operating budget, which cannot continue indefinitely.”

Need renewal “With the current operating levy of 9.9 mills expiring at the end of 2013, it will be necessary to be on the ballot, since approximately 50 percent of our total funding comes from local sources” through taxpayers, Scheu noted. “It will be of paramount importance to continue being excellent stewards of our school district’s finances and any levy will need to be a like amount of money.” Scheu said that might mean a combined PI and operating levy in the form of an income tax or property tax, which has not been determined yet. Another levy would likely mean asking for a “similar amount, not an increase in taxes.”

State jobless rate unchanged Ohio's unemployment rate was 7.2 percent in August, unchanged from July, according to data released this morning by the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS). Ohio's nonfarm wage and salary employment decreased

2,000 over the month from the revised 5,189,600 in July to 5,187,600 in August. The number of workers unemployed in Ohio in August was 413,000, down from 418,000 in July. The number of unemployed has decreased

by 95,000 in the past 12 months from 508,000. The August unemployment rate for Ohio was down from 8.8 percent in August 2011. The U.S. unemployment rate for August was 8.1 percent, down from 8.3 percent in July, and down from 9.1 percent in August 2011. Ohio's nonagricultural wage and salary employment decreased 2,000 over the month, from 5,189,600 in July to 5,187,600 in August, according to the latest business establishment survey conducted by the U.S. Department of Labor (Bureau of Labor Statistics) in cooperation with ODJFS. Service-providing industries declined 4,200 over the month to 4,332,800. Job losses occurred in trade, transportation, and utilities (-7,100), educational and health services (-4,800), and other services (-200). Gains were seen in leisure and hospitality (+3,500), professional and business services (+2,200), financial activities (+1,200), government (+900), and information (+100). Goods-producing industries, at 854,800, were up 2,200 from July. Construction gained 2,600. Mining and logging lost 300 jobs while manufacturing dropped 100. From August 2011 to August 2012, nonagricultural wage and salary employment rose by 98,300.

Scheu said there are financial strengths within the schools. “We have a BOE, administration and staff that understand the importance of living within our means, otherwise there is no way that SCS teachers would have agreed to an average 5.8 percent salary decrease” with that percentage including the salary reduction and increased insurance premiums.

Weaknesses But Scheu said, there are also weaknesses. “Uncertainty of funding sources and increased costs of doing business, from purchased services to textbooks, presents a challenge.” One area that is a concern for the district, Scheu stated, is the loss of students through open enrollment. “Open enrollment is an area that continues to be a challenge to SCS from a dollar loss standpoint. This school year, we have more students leaving on open enrollment than last year at this same time, but we also have more students entering SCS on open enrollment.” Scheu noted that in 2012, under open enrollment, SCS had 544 students leave the district, as opposed to last year, when the district lost 520 students under open enrollment. This year, there have been 86 students enroll at SCS under open enrollment, an increase from last year’s 68 students. “The loss of students on open enrollment is roughly $5,710 per student, the same loss for students enrolled in online classes not associated with the school

district’s online learning program. For open enrollment alone, we have 544 students leaving SCS. You can do the math and the dollar loss exceeds $3 million. This is significant,” Scheu stated.

Students leaving The superintendent said the district is addressing reasons students are leaving, including having a no tolerance policy for bullying and adopting all day kindergarten programs. “We are renewing our efforts to market SCS, adding such things as all day kindergarten. We have an increase in kindergarten of 40 students over last year, promoting the advantages of attending SCS, seeking input from parents as to reasons why (they are) leaving SCS and focusing on addressing some of these concerns.” addressed Scheu Local Government Funding (LGF) issues for SCS, noting he was not aware of the governor “planning a cut in state resources to schools, but rather flat line funding, meaning similar amounts (to what) school districts are now receiving. I feel we have to remember there was an $8 billion budget shortfall….two years ago and (I) don’t want a repeat of this.” The superintendent spoke about some ways the district is trying to encourage families to choose SCS for their education. “We now have all day kindergarten for all SCS students that we were able to provide without going back to the taxpayers for additional money to fund this beneficial curriculum of-

fering. We have added additional unified arts time for elementary students and have added both English and math classes at SHS in order to help meet the new Common Core Standards, all done within our own means.” “For 2013-2014, we are planning on offering, in conjunction with Upper Valley Career Center, a unique vocational agricultural program for students in grades 9-12 and actually giving serious thought to also offering these programs to seventh and eighth graders. Local agricultural business leaders have been involved in the planning for this vo ag program in SCS,” Scheu noted.

Added programs The district is also adding high school classes and signing students up who are currently enrolled in online classes through ECOT, TRECA and the Virtual Learning Academy in the district’s new VLN online classes through SCS. Scheu said the district is also “hiring qualcandidates (as ity employees) that have a connection and commitment to SCS” which he believes will “be of benefit to students and the community.” Sidney City Schools officials believe they are on the right track to bring students back who have left the district and to encourage others to stay, mindful of economic challenges being faced by local residents. “Sidney City Schools has our house in order, including our finances, and are committed to living within our means,” Scheu said.

It is likely that felony charges will be forthcoming for illegal cultivation of and/or pos-

Governor sounds warning over economy BY ANDREW WELSH-HUGGINS Associated Press COLUMBUS (AP) — Gov. John Kasich warned Friday that Ohio’s economy is not as strong as he would like and he’s seeing signs of a possible slowdown. Kasich said he’s concerned that businesses are in a holding pattern until after the election and that the state won’t continue to see gains. He said too many people are still out of work to celebrate the state’s 7.2 percent unemployment rate, unchanged for the past three months but still well below the national rate of 8.1 percent. “As I look at the velocity of the jobs, we’re starting to see signs that are not good,” Kasich told The Associated Press on Friday. He added: “I want the people of my state to know that I just have deep concerns going

Fired Dems fight for jobs DAYTON (AP) — A federal judge is hearing from witnesses in a lawsuit involving two Democratic elections officials who claim they were unjustly fired by Ohio’s secretary of state. Republican Jon Husted fired the two members of the Montgomery County Board of Elections late last month, saying they violated his order that set uniform early voting hours in the state. Ex-board members Dennis Lieberman and Thomas Ritchie Sr. are suing Husted, saying he wrongfully terminated them after they voted to allow early voting on weekends. The Democrats are asking a federal judge in U.S. District Court in Dayton to reinstate them to the board. Friday was the first hearing. They argue the county needs their roughly 28 years of combined experience to ensure a smooth, well-run election.

forward about where we are and where we could end up.” He said the pipeline of possible jobs coming to Ohio isn’t as strong as it was a year ago. He cited an overseas company planning on bringing 800 jobs to the state, yet a final decision continues to be put off. Kasich, a Republican and Mitt Romney supporter, said he was not wading into the presidential campaign with his comments. He said he believes Ohio would do better under Romney, and he criticized what he called the “headwinds” of uncertainty over debt, taxes and regulations. “But I also believe that if it doesn’t go that way we can’t be paralyzed, we just can’t rub our hands and cry in our beer,” Kasich said. Kasich’s “doom and gloom message” won’t

resonate in the state because Ohio is continuing to recover from the recession, Obama spokeswoman Jessica Kershaw said in a statement. Kasich made his comments returning from Cambridge where glass company insulating Quanex announced it was adding 162 jobs to its existing 170 employees. The state provided incentives to the company including tax credits, Kasich spokesman Rob Nichols said. The state Department of Job and Family Services said Friday that seaadjusted sonally joblessness in Ohio was again 7.2 percent in August, staying at its lowest level since September 2008. The state’s non-farm payrolls dropped by 2,000 compared with July’s figures. Ohio’s rate has re-

mained about 1 point below national unemployment rate, which dropped from 8.3 percent in July to 8.1 percent in August. The number of unemployed Ohio workers dropped by about 5,000, from 418,000 in July to 413,000 last month. Kasich noted the state has 123,000 more jobs than January 2011, when he took office. But he also questioned the strength of the auto recovery in the state, saying the state has 500 fewer overall auto assembly and parts jobs over the same period. There has been good automotive news recently, he said, but the industry’s overall footprint is smaller. As he’s said previously, the state must resist calls to spend down its $500 million surplus or increase spending.

Executive exemption cited in records fight COLUMBUS (AP) — A rarely used exemption known as “executive privilege” is among Gov. John Kasich’s arguments in a lawsuit filed by the Ohio Democratic Party over access to schedules of the Republican’s appearances. Democrats wanted access to schedules that they alleged could show Kasich misused state time to campaign for GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney. State attorneys say the administration provided some requested information but wouldn’t provide schedules for future appearances

because that could create a security risk for Kasich. The state also said some documents could be exempt from disclosure under “executive privilege” for Ohio governors. The Plain Dealer in Cleveland reports that exemption hadn’t been used since a 2006 Ohio Supreme Court ruling created it. A particular need for disclosure must be demonstrated to overcome the exemption. ————— from: Information The Plain Dealer, h t t p : / / w w w. c l e v e land.com

Prisons dept. pays $2M in headon crash COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio’s prisons department has agreed to pay $2 million to settle a claim over a head-on collision caused by one of its employees that left a man with “catastrophic” injuries. The Court of Claims of Ohio announced last week’s settlement on Friday. According to a 2011 complaint against the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction, Elliott Bush of Gambier sustained nearly 30 injuries, including numerous fractures in the crash. The court filing says state employee Douglas Schlefer crossed over the centerline on Knox County road, striking Bush’s car on Jan. 7, 2010. The complaint cites “carelessness and negligence” and attributed them to driver inattention, driving too fast for conditions, failure to control and failure to yield. A prisons spokeswoman declined to comment.

Box 795000, San Antonio, TX 78279-5000. — Heloise ADHESIVE BANDAGES Dear Heloise: As time goes on, skin can get thinner, and unfortunately, we have to wear more and more bandages (with blood tests, etc.). The tape can be really hard to peel off. A good way is to hit the tape with your hair dryer for a quick minute, as this will melt the adhesive, and the tape will come off without taking your skin with it. — David McNair, Jackson, Miss. A good hint to use along with that is baby, olive or even vegetable oil to help remove the bandage and residue. Here’s how: Simply soak a cotton ball in one of the oils and apply to the bandage, allowing it to

soak the area. Let it sit for a few minutes, then gently try to remove the bandage. If it doesn’t come off right away, apply a little more oil and try again. There are adhesive removers available. Compare brands, because there seems to be quite a price difference. When you have blood drawn, etc., ask the health-care provider what he or she recommends. — Heloise THANK-YOU POSTAGE Dear Heloise: I just had a loved one pass away, and I received many cards with money in them. One thing that I had never heard of before was that several cards had a book of stamps for the thankyou cards. I thought this was a great idea. Next time, instead of money or flowers, I will send a book of stamps. — Rae in Omaha, Neb.

OUT OF THE BLUE

Official forgot she had gun ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Albuquerque airport officials say the secondin-command of New Mexico’s domestic security agency was caught trying to bring a loaded gun through a security checkpoint. State Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security Anita Tallarico told Albuquerque Sunport police that she forgot to leave the weapon at home when TSA agents spotted it in her purse in a scanner Friday. KOB-TV reports Tallarico told TSA officials she was distraught because she was going to a funeral. She was cited for unlawful carrying of a deadly weapon. Airport police chief Marshall Katz says he’s not sure how a person of Tallarico’s position could make such a slip-up, but added that it happens frequently nationwide. Tallarico’s gun was turned over to city police as evidence.

Pakistan hit by deadly riots over anti-Muslim film ISLAMABAD (AP) — Pakistan’s “Day of Love for the Prophet” turned into a deadly day of gunfire, tear gas and arson. Thousands angered by an anti-Muslim film ignored pleas for peaceful rallies and rampaged in several Pakistani cities Friday in battles with police that killed 19 people and touched off criticism of a government decision to declare a national holiday to proclaim devotion for the Prophet Muhammad. The film, which was produced in the United States and denigrates the prophet, has outraged many in the Muslim world in the 10 days since it attracted attention on the Internet, and there were new, mostly peaceful protest marches in a half-dozen countries from Asia to the Middle East. But it is Pakistan that has seen the most sustained violence, driven by a deep well of anti-American sentiment and a strong cadre of hard-line Islamists who benefit from stoking anger at the U.S. At 49 people — including the U.S. ambassador to Libya — have died in violence linked to the film around the world. Analysts accused the Pakistani government of pandering to these extremists by declaring Friday to be an official holiday — calling it a “Day of Love for the Prophet.” Officials urged peaceful protests, but critics said the move helped unleash the worst violence yet caused by the film, titled “Innocence of Muslims.” In addition to those killed,

A PAKISTANI police officer fires in the air during clashes that erupted as demonstrators tried to approach the U.S. embassy in Islamabad, Pakistan, Friday. Protests by tens of thousands of Pakistanis infuriated by an anti-Islam film descended into deadly violence on Friday, with police firing tear gas and live ammunition in an attempt to subdue rioters who hurled rocks and set fire to buildings in some cities. Four people were killed and dozens injured on a day the government declared a holiday to allow people to rally against the video. nearly 200 others were injured as mobs threw stones and set fire to cars and movie theaters, and battled with police who responded with tear gas and gunfire. “The people were just waiting for a trigger,” said Imtiaz Gul, director of the Islamabad-based Center for Research and Security Studies. In an attempt to tamp down the anger, the U.S. Embassy in Islamabad purchased spots on Pakistani TV on Thursday that featured denunciations of the video by President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. But their comments, which were subti-

tled in Urdu, the main Pakistani language, apparently did little to moderate the outrage that filled the country’s streets. Police fired tear gas and live ammunition to push back the tens of thousands of protesters they faced in Pakistan’s capital, Islamabad, and the major cities of Lahore, Karachi and Peshawar. They were successful in preventing the protesters from reaching U.S. diplomatic offices in the cities, even though the demonstrators streamed over shipping containers set up on major roads to block their path. The demonstrators, who

Family toasts murdered mother BY MICHAEL TARM Associated Press JOLIET, Ill. (AP) — Relatives of Kimberly Vaughn marked a bittersweet day with her favorite drink — a lemon drop martini, a family spokesman said Friday. Chicago-area jurors convicted Christopher Vaughn of murdering Kimberly, his 34year-old wife, and their three kids after just 50 minutes of deliberations Thursday. “They feel justice has been done,” said David Butsch, a lawyer in Missouri where Kimberly Vaughn’s parents live. The successful computer specialist wanted his family out of the way, prosecutors said, to pursue his dream of starting a new life subsisting

in the Canadian wilderness. Their speed was telling, Butsch said. “As a rule of thumb, there’s an hour of deliberation for each day of a trial,” he said. “When they come back in less than an hour, it tells you there’s no debate as to his guilt.” Jurors came back so quickly that family members who had withdrawn to McBrody’s Bar & Grill to await a verdict had to run back to the Joliet courthouse — leaving their food behind. Afterward, family members returned and ordered Kimberly’s Vaughn’s beloved cocktail. And when also jurors showed up, her relatives applauded and said, “Thank you,” as each walked by their table.

The 2007 quadruple murder started as a death penalty case, slowing the pace to trial. But Illinois has since abolished capital punishment, meaning Vaughn now faces a life term when sentenced Nov. 26. “He’ll spend the rest of his life staring at the cold walls of his prison cell, then he’ll meet his maker for his real punishment,” Will County State’s Attorney James Glasgow told reporters after the verdict. Before the killings, Vaughn became obsessed with Druid beliefs in the spirituality of nature. He told a friend he longed for a life unencumbered by cellphones and other hallmarks of modernity. He considered asking a stripper he had a crush on to join him.

55 Gitmo detainee names released BY DANICA COTO Associated Press SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — The U.S. Justice Department on Friday made public the names of 55 Guantanamo prisoners who have been approved for transfer to the custody of other countries, releasing information sought by human rights organizations. The announcement, which reverses a 2009 decision, was a surprise to organizations that had filed FOIA requests seeking the information. “We did not expect this,” said Omar Farah, attorney for the Center for Constitutional Rights. “This is an important development.” Farah said the government’s action will be a boost for lawyers representing detainees at the U.S. military base in Cuba. “We can now advocate publicly for the release of our clients by name,” he said. The government’s move has no immediate, practical effect on the inmates’ detention. Inclusion on the list does not mean that the U.S. has absolved them of any wrongdoing or that it believes they pose no threat, and there was no indication of when any might be sent elsewhere.

In 2009, Ambassador Daniel Fried, the Obama administration’s special envoy on detainee issues, argued then that it was necessary to keep the prisoners’ identities secret while the U.S. negotiated transfers to other countries. “It is important for the U.S. government to have the latitude to approach potential destination countries in a discreet and confidential manner, in order to minimize the risk of undue publicity,” Fried said in a statement at the time. But the government said in a court filing Friday that the successful transfers of other detainees no longer warranted such concerns. It noted that 40 detainees have been resettled in new countries and 28 were repatriated to their native countries since 2009. ACLU lawyer Zachary Katznelson welcomed the naming of 55 prisoners approved for transfers, saying it could help speed up their release to another country. “Their lawyers can publicly push for their transfer,” he said. But he urged the government to release the names of 31 other detainees also approved for transfer. “Today’s release is a partial victory for transparency, and

it should also be a spur to action,” he said. “These men have now spent three years in prison since our military and intelligence agencies all agreed they should be released.” Katznelson said the ACLU has also filed an FOIA request seeking the names of prisoners in three other categories: indefinite detention, conditional detention and prosecution. Suzanne Nossel, executive director of Amnesty International USA, said the 55 detainees named should be transferred immediately out of Guantanamo. “Indefinite detention is a human rights violation and it must end,” she said. Most of the detainees on the list are from Yemen, including Mohammed AlHamiri, whom Farah represents. Farah said more than onethird of Guantanamo’s prisoners are men from Yemen who have been cleared for transfer. Currently, the U.S. will not move any Yemeni detainees back to their home country because the U.S. believes it is not stable enough to prevent them from potentially resuming militant activity. There are 167 detainees now at Guantanamo.

were led by hard-line Islamist groups, hurled rocks at the police and set fire to their vehicles. They also ransacked and burned banks, shops, cinemas and Western fast-food restaurants such as KFC and Pizza Hut. Clinton thanked the Pakistani government for protecting the U.S. missions in the country and lamented the deaths in the protests. “The violence we have seen cannot be tolerated,” she said, speaking alongside Pakistani Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar in Washington. “There is no justification for violence.” Khar thanked Obama and Clinton for speaking out against the video, saying it sent “a strong message, and that message should go a long way to ending the violence on many streets on the world.” The deadliest violence occurred in the southern port city of Karachi, where 14 people were killed, said hospital officials. More than 80 people were injured, said the top government official in the city, Roshan Ali Shaikh. At least three of the dead were policemen, one who died when hundreds of protesters attacked a police station. “We are all ready to die for Prophet Muhammad,” said Karachi protester Mohammad Arshad. “We want to show the world that Muslims are one and united on the issue.” Five people were killed and 60 wounded in the northwestern city of Peshawar, said police official Bashir Khan.

Romney paid about 14%, but could have paid less WASHINGTON (AP) — Mitt Romney, one of the wealthiest candidates ever to seek the presidency, paid nearly $2 million in federal taxes on the $13.7 million in income reported for himself and his wife last year, his U.S. returns showed Friday. That comes to an effective tax rate of 14.1 percent, lower than millions of middle-income Americans but actually more than he had to pay. Most of Romney’s income was from investment returns. That is why his rate was lower than taxpayers whose income was mostly from wages, which can be taxed at higher rates. Romney’s taxes have emerged as a key issue during the 2012 presidential race with President Barack Obama. Romney released his 2010 returns in January, but he continues to decline to disclose returns from previous years — including those while he worked at Bain Capital, the private equity firm he cofounded. The Obama campaign and other Democrats have pushed for fuller disclosures, reminding the Republican candidate that his father, George Romney, released a dozen years of returns when he ran for president. There also has been Democratic criticism of Romney’s foreign investments. Several tax law experts said Friday that his newly released tax returns would not be much help in resolving critics’ questions about his sprawling finances — whether he used aggressive tax-deferral strategies, what might be the specifics and tax advantages of his numerous offshore investments, what was the source of his massive retirement account and what are the details behind his now-closed $3 million Swiss bank account.

Combined company announces new name

BOTKINS — The village of Botkins officially has its first business in the Botkins Industrial Park. Electrical Buckeye Products will be located on the north lot (100 Commerce Drive) along County 25A. Buckeye specializes in electronics manufacturing, including cables, harnesses, box builds and custom-printed circuit boards. Owner Dick Platfoot decided to move the business from his home on Southland Road to the industrial park due to space constraints. The business currently employs four full-time and three part-time employees. Buckeye serves the commercial, medical, entertainment, military and automotive industries. The Botkins Community Improvement Corp. purchased 50 acres in 1999 to help promote industrial and commercial growth. The land was under option for some time as there was interest from a Native American tribe to move off-reservation gambling to the site. Legal and political barriers remained a challenge for the project, and at the end of 2009 Village Council allowed the option to expire. Village Administrator Jesse Kent recalled, “The economy was severely wounded in early 2010. While we saw a new leaf turning over in the industrial park, there wasn’t a lot moving on the radar.” Platfoot approached the Botkins Community Improvement Corp. in late 2011 with his idea of locating in the industrial park. “It made perfect sense,” said Kent. “Buckeye Electrical Products is just the type of business to spur more development and growth in the village.”

Store captures spirit of Halloween

Hiring still tepid WASHINGTON (AP) — Unemployment rates rose in more than half of U.S. states last month, the latest evidence that hiring remains tepid across the country. The Labor Department said Friday that rates increased in 26 states. They fell in 12 states and were unchanged in the other 12. Unemployment also rose in seven of the 11 key swing states in this year’s presidential election. Nationwide, employers added only 96,000 jobs in August. That’s below July’s gain of 141,000 and the average of 226,000 jobs a month added in the January-March quarter. The U.S. unemployment rate fell to 8.1 percent last month from 8.3 percent in July. But that was only because many people gave up looking for

The government ping — ranging from cosonly counts people as un- tumes to decor and party employed if they are ac- goods to accessories — tively searching for jobs. In August, unemployment increased in several competitive states in this year’s presidential race. The rate in Michigan rose to 9.4 percent from 9 percent. The rate ticked up a tenth of a point to 12.1 percent in Nevada, which has the highest unemployment in the nation. GOP nominee Mitt Romney campaigned in Nevada on Friday. Unemployment rates also rose in five other battleground states: Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, New Hampshire and Iowa. Still, unemployment was flat in three closely contested states that are rich in electoral votes: Florida, Virginia and Ohio.

In addition to being a fun and interactive event for shoppers, Spirit stores offer complete selections of costumes and accessories for infants/toddlers, children, ‘tweens, teens, and adults along with exclusive decor shoppers won’t find anywhere else. At the heart of Spirit Halloween is Spirit of Children (www.spiritofchildren.com), a program that focuses on making hospitals less scary for kids and their

families. Since its inception in 2006, Spirit of Children has brought smiles, laughter and a much-needed escape to thousands of pediatric patients in 130 hospitals across the United States and Canada. One hundred percent of the money collected each year is given directly to the local Child Life Departments at partner hospitals. This year, Spirit of Children’s goal is to raise $3.5 million, bringing its total contribution total to more than $10 million.

tion. This is the first trip where Vietnam veterans have visited the memorials. Cecil Steele and Keith McLain, both of Sidney, were stationed in Vietnam during the war. Steele was in the U.S. Army, while McLain is a veteran of the U.S. Navy. The men knew each other before they went to Vietnam, but each didn’t know where the other was stationed. “I was stationed in Sadec, Vietnam, from 1966 to 67,” said McLain. “We would run the river in patrol boats.” other words, In McLain and his unit were looking for the Vietnamese soldiers before they found the American soldiers. “It was hot over there,” said McLain. “It’s hard to explain what it was like unless you’ve been there. “It’s a beautiful country but the people were real behind the times.” McLain said Steele talked him into going on the trip to D.C. Steele was stationed in Vietnam 1968-69. He was a member of the fire and rescue unit, and served aboard a 336 assault helicopter. “We’d go in after the helicopters that went down,” Steele said. “We’d also provide cover for guys like Keith.” The trip to D.C. will be a first for Steele, and he’s looking forward to seeing the changing of the guard at Arlington Cemetery and the World War II memorial. But on the top of his list is the visit to the Wall. “I’m hoping some old wounds will heal by going to the Wall,” said Steele. “I have one special name I’m going to look up. Gary Lamb was from Beaverton, Ore., and was a warrant officer. He was killed right after I left.” Steele said he hopes someday that every soldier who is still considered missing in action or a prisoner of war will be accounted for, so their families can have closure. “I hope and pray for them to be found just like Jim Lochard was,” Steele said. Two veterans on the trip wanted to serve in Vietnam but their orders sent them elsewhere. Gary Meyer, of Sidney, is a veteran of the U.S. Navy. He was stationed in Guantanamo Bay for 18 months. He also served as a destroyer escort in the north Atlantic. “I wanted to go to Vietnam, but they wouldn’t send me,” Meyer said. “They said they needed people there (where he was stationed).” Meyer said even though he didn’t go to Vietnam, he was not

I encouraged my boyfriend to stop smoking for a ton of reasons. He did quit smoking tobacco cigarettes, but he is now smoking clove cigarettes. He said that they are made from natural products and they are harmless to smoke. It’s hard for me to believe that the smoke from clove cigarettes is harmless. After all, the smoke is sucked into the lungs and I believe the smoke is the villain. Please inform me. Also, are they made in the USA? — Curious, Abing-

DR. WALLACE: I’m 13 and considered short for my age. My mom is 5 feet 1 inch tall and my dad is 5 feet 5 inches. I know I probably won’t be extra tall, but I really would like to be at least 5 feet 8 inches tall when I finish growing. My parents keep telling me “good things come in small packages.” I told them that I am good, but I want to come in a tall package. Is it possible for me to reach my goal? Are there any foods that I could eat that would help me grow taller? How about vita-

mins or medicines? — Nameless, Batavia, Ill. NAMELESS: Every generation produces children taller than the previous generation and scientists credit this to a healthier diet and lifestyle. But there is no secret potion or formula that will make you grow taller. The height of the mother and father is the most dominant factor when determining a child’s eventual height. But the height of grandparents and greatgrandparents, etc., also plays a smaller role in a child’s height. Relatively short parents can have a relatively tall child, but Mother Nature’s rule is that when both parents are short, their children will follow suit. Boys continue to grow until around their 18th birthday and some continue to grow into their 20s. Most boys have a “growth spurt” when 2 or more inches of height are added in a few months. This usually takes place between ages 12 to 14. Most guys want to be tall, but success is measured in courage, determination, dedication and effort, not in height.

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 Monday, Sept. 24, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a pretty easygoing day, except at some point midafternoon, dealing with partners and close friends will be stiff and difficult. Just grin and bear it. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You might have to deal with rules and regulations related to politics, religion or higher education today that are exasperating. Fortunately, this is a brief situation. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Check your bank account, because you might have less there than you had hoped. Something having to do with shared property seems to be discouraging. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Basically, this is mostly an easygoing day, but family discussions might get you down at some point. It’s a brief encounter and sort of a bummer. Just let it pass. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) It’s smooth sailing today, but for a brief time when health issues or something that has to do with your job is a drag. Just cope with it as best you can. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Relations with children will be a bit challenging today. You might have more on your plate than usual. Even romantic liaisons could discourage you, but only briefly. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) This is not the best day to talk to older family members to get their coop-

eration. People are inclined to disagree, because they feel unwilling and uncooperative. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) You might fall into worry mode today. Remember, this is just an attitude, a frame of mind. It comes and then it goes. (Everything is impermanent.) SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You could be discouraged about financial matters today. Something might cost more than you thought, or perhaps you’re low on money. Fortunately, it’s a temporary feeling. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) It’s easy to feel cut off from others today. This is why you might have feelings of loneliness. Don’t worry, because they’re gone by evening. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Like Capricorn, you might feel cut off from others, but it’s probably because you are hiding behind fences that you built. Focus your energy on research today. This will make you feel better. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Someone older or more experienced might rain on your parade today. If this happens, be patient, because in a few hours it’s over and you won’t mind. YOU BORN TODAY You live in the world of your imagination. You adore travel, and if you can’t travel physically, you will travel through books and film. Change excites you! You want to expand your experience of life and indulge your feelings of restlessness (even if only through short trips). Basically, you’re a wanderer. In your year ahead, partnerships and close friendships will be your primary focus. Birthdate of: Nia Vardalos, actress; Kevin Sorbo, actor; F. Scott Fitzgerald, novelist.

and on the verge of passing out. A 20-point drop in systolic blood pressure — the first number of a blood pressure reading — meets the criterion for orthostatic hypotension. If the second number, the diastolic pressure, drops 10 points, that, too, indicates orthostatic hypotension. Both numbers do not have to fall; one or the other is enough. Go over your medicines with the doctor again to see if any of them is contributing to this. If your balance is poor on rising out of bed, sleep with 4-inch blocks under the posts at the head of the bed. That po-

sition will help you maintain your blood pressure. If the blood pressure drop occurs after rising from a chair, drinking two 8-ounce glasses of cool water somewhat quickly prevents the drop. The effect lasts for two hours. You can go shopping during that time period without fear of losing balance. Contracting the leg muscles before, during and after you rise from a chair also keeps blood pressure up. Compression stockings work, too. Should none of the above work, speak to your doctor about medicines. Pyridostigmine often is prescribed for this condition.

wife and I were invited to my brother’s wedding, and we accepted. Later, my brother asked me to be a groomsman. My wife is upset because I didn’t ask her if she minded that I’ll be in the wedding and I will walk down the aisle with one of the bridesmaids. She feels that my walking with another woman is a “date” and disrespectful to her. Is it proper wedding etiquette to accept an invitation to be in a wedding if you are married? — GROOMSMAN IN THE SOUTH DEAR GROOMSMAN: It is very common for the brother of the groom to be in his wedding party — and marital status has nothing to do with it. Escorting an assigned bridesmaid to and from the altar is NOT a “date,” nor is it disrespectful to your wife, who may really be upset because she wasn’t also asked to be part of the wedding party.

Weather postpones games Weather again plagued high school football Friday night, postponing several games involving local and area teams. â&#x20AC;˘ Lehman managed to get a quarter in before the lightning and storms hit and the Cavaliers made the most of the limited time, scoring on all three possessions to take a 19-0 lead over Riverside in Northwest Central Conference action at Sidney Memorial Stadium. The game will be resumed at 10 this morning at Lehman High School. After the Pirates went three and out on their first possession, the Cavs marched down the field, picking up 58 yards on four carries, including a 36-yard burst by Andrew Adams and a 13-yard carry from Andrew Gilardi. Gilardi then went into the endzone from a yard out to make it 6-0 at the 7:34 mark. Lehman needed just four plays to extend the lead to 120 after getting the ball on the Riverside 33. Following two Gilardi runs of 20 and two yards, quarterback Nick Rourke found Adams on the right for an 11-yard touchdown pass with 5:05 remaining in the period. Adams struck again to give the Cavaliers a 19-0 lead as he ran it in from a yard out with 14 seconds left. In all, the Cavaliers recorded 128 yards of offense in the quarter compared to nine for the Pirates. â&#x20AC;˘ Fort Loramie and Waynesfield were hooked up in a good one when the weather took over. The game was delayed with 6:58 left in the second quarter with the score deadlocked at 7-7. The game resumed and the score stood at 14-14 at the half, but it was not completed in time to make this morningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paper. â&#x20AC;˘ Minster and Coldwater never really got going, the game being called after the first play of the game because of the lightning. The two teams will resume the game today at 11 a.m. at Minster. â&#x20AC;˘ Versailles scored on its

LEHMANâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S MAX Schutt carries Friday night against Riverside at Sidney Memorial Stadium. Lehman was leading 19-0 when the game was called because of the weather. It will resume today at 10 a.m. at Lehman High School. first play from scrimmage following a Marion Local fumble, but the storms came soon after and the game was postponed. The game will resume at 7 p.m. tonight at Versailles. Damian Richard stripped a Marion Local back of the ball and Versailles recovered on the Flyer 20. Nick Campbell then hit Jacob Barga for a 20-yard touchdown pass just 54 seconds into the game. But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as far as the action got.

Anna falls 28-7 Anna and Delphos St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got a half in, then waited around to finish it Friday night in Midwest Athletic Confer-

ence football at Delphos. And it was all St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in a 28-7 verdict. The loss leaves the Rockets at 3-2 on the year and 1-2 in the MAC with Minster coming to town Friday night. The two teams got an entire half of football in before lightning made it an extended intermission. The Blue Jays were handling the Rockets 22-0 at halftime thanks to the running of Tyler Jettinghoff. He caught a 44-yard touchdown pass for the first score of the game in the opening period, then broke TD runs of 88 and 82 yards, the second coming with just :05 left in the first half.

Anna came out in the third quarter and put together an excellent drive, but it took over seven minutes off the clock. It culminated with a touchdown, but the Rocket defense again allowed a long run, this one coming on a scramble by the Blue Jay quarterback all the way down to the 13-yard line. From there, Jettinghoff went in again to make it 28-7 after three periods. Anna tried a fake punt on its next possession, but it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work and Delphos took over on the Rocket 35. The Blue Jays stayed on the ground and ran some clock, but were not able to add another score on the drive.

Redsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; magic number stays at 1 CINCINNATI (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Matt Kempâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two-out single with the bases loaded in the 10th inning sent the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 3-1 victory Friday night that denied the Cincinnati Reds on their first chance to clinch the NL Central. The Dodgers won for only the fifth time in 15 games and moved two games behind St. Louis for the final NL wild card. They also trail Milwaukee by a half-game in the wild-card race. Cincinnati was trying to lock up its second division title in three years without manager Dusty Baker, still in a Chicago hospital. The 63year-old Baker was hospital-

ized on Wednesday with an irregular heartbeat. The Dodgers loaded the bases in the 10th off Sam LeCure (3-3), who hit Elian Herrera to open the inning. First baseman Joey Votto tried for a forceout on A.J. Ellisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sacrifice, but skipped his throw and both runners were safe. After Nick Puntoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bunt, Mark Ellis walked to load the bases. Sean Marshall fanned Andre Ethier and got ahead 02 in the count to Kemp, who singled to right for his third hit of the game. Ronald Belisario (8-1) pitched two perfect innings, fanning five. Brandon League worked the 10th for his

fourth save in four opportunities. The Reds will get two more chances to clinch on Saturday. The Cardinals play in Chicago at 1:05 p.m. EDT, where a loss would give the title to the Reds about the time their 4 p.m. game against the Dodgers was starting. Just like in 2010, when they clinched on Jay Bruceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leadoff homer in the ninth inning off Houstonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tim Byrdak for a 3-2 victory, the Reds had a chance at another lastswing celebration. Bruce struck out swinging to open the ninth this time. Cincinnati got its first opportunity to win the NL Central after the Cubs rallied to

beat the Cardinals 5-4 in 11 innings earlier Friday at Wrigley Field. That game was shown on the videoboard during batting practice and drew cheers from early arriving fans. It was a favorable ending as well for the Dodgers, who knew they had a chance to gain ground in the wild-card race. For Cincinnati, it was time to start preparing for a party thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on hold for at least one more day. Neither team got much going on offense, which was nothing new to Los Angeles. The Dodgers scored two or fewer runs in seven of their previous 10 games.

OSUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Williams fighting to be the player he used to be COLUMBUS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Ohio State defensive lineman Nathan Williams admits he is battling to get back to where he was two years ago when he led OSU with 4.5 sacks. A season-ending knee injury last season and microfracture surgery have put Williams on a long comeback trail. He has played extensively in two of OSUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three games but missed the Central Florida game because of a bone bruise. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still not the same player I used to be,â&#x20AC;? Williams said after OSU beat California 35-28 last Saturday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m trying to overcome that. I try to cut loose every

play that I can.â&#x20AC;? Williams said he is ahead of schedule in his mind. He expected to play maybe half of this season. He was on the field in 63 of Ohio Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 79 defensive plays against California. He has four tackles this season, without a sack or a tackle for loss. If he continues to improve, he would give Ohio State something it needs â&#x20AC;&#x201C; another pass rushing threat besides John Simon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can stop one really good pass rusher. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop two,â&#x20AC;? OSU coach Urban Meyer said. Notes: Running back shuffle: Junior Rod Smith is listed as the No. 3 running back this week, re-

That could be a reason why Perry switched to No. 37 from No. 15 this week. It might mean Perry and wide receiver Devin Smith, who wears No. 15, could be used at the same time on some of the Buckeyesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; special teams. Still hurting: Running back Carlos Hyde (knee) and defensive lineman Michael Bennett (groin) are not expected to play today. Simon (shoulder) and DBs C.J.

New Bremen Pumpkinfest gets under way Friday BY LORI OSTERLOH HAGAMAN NEW BREMEN — The 2012 New Bremen Pumpkinfest is set to be held Friday and Sept. 29 at the Crown Pavilion in downtown New Bremen. Last year’s festival draw of once again securing the title of the World’s Largest Pumpkin Pie is a difficult one to beat. The record-holding pie was mixed and baked at the festival grounds last year. It was 20 feet across and weighed 3,699 pounds. This surpassed the former largest pumpkin Photo provided pie, which was made at GIANT PUMPKINS rest on scales during the pumpkin weigh-off at a previous the 2005 Pumpkinfest. New Bremen Pumpkinfest. This year’s event will be held Friday and Sept. 29.

Bake-off According to bake-off Susan chairwoman Krieg, “We really want to get a little more involvement in the pie bake-off this year. Anyone ages 9 to 109 is welcome to enter this contest. There is no entry fee and it really is fun.” Pumpkinfest regulars may remember Krieg from previous years

when she mixed all the crust for the first record pumpkin pie that netted the festival the World’s Largest Pumpkin Pie honors. The only requirements for a pie to be entered is that it is 100 percent homemade and is dropped off in a disposable pie plate. The top three pies will be auctioned off with the proceeds going to the Pumpkinfest. All other pies will be sold by the slice at the festival.

Pie judging The pies are to be dropped off at the Pavillion between 12:30 and 1 p.m. on Sept. 29. The judging will start shortly thereafter. Krieg, who runs a licensed home bakery, added, “There are three judges. One is a retired home economics teacher and another retired teacher that lives locally. We even have Steve Baker from Channel 7 coming to be a celebrity judge.” The panel of three

judges will consider each pie based on taste, preand post-slice appearance, and crust. An award will be given out for the prettiest pie as well. Let’s not forget the crazy giant pumpkin events for which the New Bremen event is known. Sept. 29 brings the pumpkin pancake breakfast at 7 a.m., followed by the fun run and 5K race at 8:45 and 9:30 a.m., respectively. The Pumpkin Sailboat Regatta is scheduled for noon at Bunker Hill. At 1 p.m., the giant pumpkin weigh-off is scheduled to begin.

‘Dry conditions’ “I am not sure what kind of a turnout there will be for the giant pumpkin weigh-off this year with the dry, drought conditions,” said Southwestern Auglaize County Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Scott Frey. Frey is a previous festival committee member

Pumpkin pie, pumpkin roll, pumpkin ale and more pumpkin fare are available for the palate to sample. There is even a pumpkin pie bake-off.

HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE For Sunday, Sept. 23, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Very likely, some details about your private life will be made public today. Just be aware of this so that you can do some damage control. Be extra aware of everything you say and do. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Try to do something different today, because you’re restless for adventure. Go someplace you’ve never been before. Talk to people from other backgrounds or different cultures. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) It will please you to clear away a few loose details about inheritances, taxes, debt, bills and such. Do something that gives you a warm feeling of satisfaction afterward. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Because the Moon is directly opposite your sign today, you will have to go more than halfway when dealing with others. This is no big deal. Easy peasy. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Set aside a bit of time today to get better organized at home and at work. Even 15 minutes can make a difference. You need to psychologically tidy up your life. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Plan a little escape where you can play today. Take a long lunch. Grab a movie. Watch sports or enjoy playful times with children. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) If you can find some private time at home today, it will please you. Discussions with a parent or a relative will be significant. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) You have a strong desire to communicate with others today. Perhaps you want to enlighten someone about something? Either way, short trips and discussions with others will please you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Focus on your cash flow today. Make friends with your bank account. Find out just how much money you don’t have. (Information is power.) CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) This is your lucky day (in a minor way), because the Moon is in your sign. Therefore, ask the universe for what you want, because you just might get it. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Focus on private matters today. You even might want to hide a little or stay out of the limelight. (It’s that kind of day.) PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Discussions with others, especially a female friend, could be significant for you today. Share your hopes and dreams with others to get their feedback. It will be helpful. YOU BORN TODAY Challenges never deter you, because you know you can surmount them. Furthermore, you know you come out stronger and wiser. Your sense of adventure is what propels you through life; plus, people love you because you are seductively charming. Furthermore, you like to be personally involved in everything. Your coming year is the beginning of an exciting new cycle. Open any door! Birthdate of: Bruce Springsteen, singer/songwriter; Julio Iglesias, singer; Anneliese van der Pol, actress/singer.
