Readers of the Sidney Daily News today are not seeing things — the paper is printed on pink paper. And for a very good reason. October marks the 25th anniversary of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month and this is the newspaper’s way of focusing attention on the observance to increase public knowledge about the importance of early detection. Since the program began in 1985, mammography rates have more than doubled for women age 50 and older and breast cancer deaths have declined. This is exciting progress, but there are still women who do not take advantage of early detection at all and others who do not get screening mammograms and clinical breast exams at regular intervals. • Women age 65 and See PINK/Page 3A

MINSTER — Festival planners said attendance at the weekend’s 37th edition of Oktoberfest far exceeded last year’s numbers despite chill winds both Friday and Satuday. “We’re real pleased with attendance; Sunday was beautiful,” Paul Enneking, festival president, said. The annual German heritage event ended Sunday with the huge festival parade. Food and entertainment continued until 8 p.m. the last day. Victor Baumer, longtime community benefactor, was grand marshal of this year’s parade, which was themed “Celebrating Family and Friends.” Following her crowning Saturday during the annual pageant in Spass Platz, Oktoberfest Queen Hanna Butler reigned over this year’s festival and parade. The 2011 queen is the daughter of Pat and Becky Butler. Alisha Monnin, daughter of Jeff and Beth Monnin, was first runnerup in the judging and Samantha Sorstheofle, daughter of Curt and Carol Sorshheofle, was second runFor photo reprints, visit www.sidneydailynews.com SDN Photo/Luke Gronneberg nerup.

State-of-art cancer treatment center found at UVMC BY BETHANY J. ROYER Ohio Community Media broyer@dailycall.com — Many TROY would assume that to receive ground-breaking, state-of-the-art cancer treatment requires traveling as far south as Cincinnati or east to Columbus when such a facility is already in their backyard. The Upper Valley Medical Center offers a cancer care treatment center that is currently undergoing expansion with a completion date set for March/April of 2012. While offering chemo and radiation therapy, the Center also offers genetic counseling for those who may have a hereditary risk for developing cancer. “We look for patients who display what we call red flags,” said Sarah Jones, an oncology clinical nurse specialist or OCNS, in regards to family members who have, “Been diagnosed with breast cancer at an early age. Usually under the age of 50, if it is under the age of 40 we get a little excited about that because it is really outside the norm.” Jones also explained how they look for women and men who have a family history of rare cancers, such as ovarian cancer, and those who have been diwith both agnosed breast and ovarian, or combinations of cancers that includes pancreatic, gastric, colon and melanoma. Ethnicity can also play a part such as the Caucasian population having a 1 in 200 to 300 chance of an inherited genetic mutation for a cancer in comparison to Ashkenazi Jewish women who have a 1 in 40 risk. “We know that all cancers are genetic but not all cancers are hereditary, there’s a difference there,” explained Jones. “Cancer is caused because there is damage to the genes in some way, shape or form. Whether that’s acquired through the environment or something that we eat or whether it is being passed to us through our genes from our family.” What these family studies have found is that most cancers occur sporadically. “We don’t really know why they have it,” continued Jones. “They don’t have a clear family history; they don’t have any exposure history.” These sporadic cancers account for about 70 percent of diagnoses, with 5 to 10 percent

PINK older are less likely to get mammograms than younger women, even though breast cancer risk increases with age. • Hispanic women have fewer mammograms than Caucasian women and African American women. • Women below poverty level are less likely than women at higher incomes to have had a mammogram within the past two years. • Mammography use has increased for all groups except American Indians and Alaska Natives.

Information about getting screened To find out if you qualify for a free or low-cost mammogram and Pap test and where to get screened, call: (800) 4-CANCER For local information call (937) 4407111 to schedule at any mammography centers: Upper Valley Medical Center. 3130 N. Country Road 25A in Outpatient Troy Care Center/North 280 N. Looney Road, Piqua Hyatt Center 450 N.

County Road 25A, Troy. being hereditary. For Jones, her genetic counseling begins by talking with patients to find what their true hereditary risk is for having one of these inherited genetic mutations for cancer. “I go over what options are for testing, what risks and benefits for testing because, unfortunately, it’s not a clear cut answer,” said Jones as she further explained that since we receive half of our genetic information from our mother and half from our father, “There’s a 50/50 chance of inheriting any genetic or hereditary trait that either of them may have which includes these genetic dispositions.” Jones works through the family history, creating a pedigree, three generations of family history where the cancer can be tracked and explain what the results mean. Such as a negative test result can mean the absence of the mutation but not that it isn’t in the rest of the family. “As you can imagine it is kind of stressful,” Jones said on the results and that it is important that the mutation and risk be identified. Education is also certainly key, with Jones defining sporadic versus hereditary cancers and that while many would assume the number of cancer in a family would be a red flag she is looking for those in the family, “Who are diagnosed at an early age and on one side of the family; numbers is not a deciding factor.”

From Page 1 If all women age 40 and older took advantage of early detection methods — mammography plus clinical breast exam – breast cancer death rates would reportedly drop much further, up to 30 percent. The key to mammography screening is that it be done routinely; once is not enough.

STATE NEWS School aids efforts to solve Afghan problems CINCINNATI (AP) — Students from war-torn Afghanistan are hoping to find solutions to that country’s social and economic problems with help from a southwest Ohio university’s business school. Seventy Afghan postgraduate students attending 35 schools across the United States have been at Miami University in Oxford this week to learn entrepreneurial strategies for addressing social problems including poverty and illiteracy that hamper their country’s development. The students in the U.S. government’s Fulbright foreign student program have been participating in workshops and other activities at the seminar sponsored by the State Department and the Center for Social Entrepreneurship in Miami’s Farmer School of Business. The students have gained practical knowledge about how to build businesses and create jobs, while also addressing their country’s persistent social problems, said Brett Smith, the center’s founding director. “We give them tools to help them diagnose the problems, understand the root causes and find innovative solutions,” Smith said. On Friday, the students visited a nonprofit food bank in Cincinnati that provides emergency food services so they could see a real example of how business strategies are used to achieve social change. “We wanted them to see how the food bank deals with the health-related hunger problem, how it operates and funds the operations,” Smith said. The students also have worked in small groups on simulated situations requiring them to develop business models, organizations and strategies to improve problems in key areas, including education, engineering, international relations, public administration and public health.

Overtime can drain pension system DAYTON (AP) — High amounts of overtime accrued in a few years of service can boost a public employee’s pension payout, which could cause a problem for the Ohio governmental units making those payments. Many Ohio public employees can retire and draw benefits after 30 years of paying into the system, or just five once they reach age 65. Pensions are based on a worker’s three highestpaid years, including overtime. Ohio Retirement Study Council director Aristotle Hutras told the Dayton Daily News that AP Photo/The Cincinnati Enquirer, Joseph Fuqua II, file paying into the system at IN THIS Feb. 17 file photo, actor George Clooney a low salary but receiving (center) plans a shot during filming of “Ides of a pension for life that is March” in Cincinnati.

AKRON (AP) — Millions of gallons of drilling waste have been injected underground in Ohio, leading some to worry about possible ties to earthquakes. The drilling practice known as hydraulic fracturing uses chemicallylaced water to free oil and gas from underground shale formations. Ohio has 181 wells to inject waste fluid underground. The Akron Beacon Journal reported that nearly 50 percent of the drilling waste comes Pennsylvania, from which last year banned shipment of the liquid to state water treat-

ment plants. In contrast to Ohio, Pennsylvania only has eight injection wells, due to its underground geology. In Pennsylvania, a drilling boom into the Marcellus shale is under way. Ohio drillers worry that the flood of waste fluid from Pennsylvania will crowd out space for Ohio waste as drilling into the potentially-lucrative Marcellus and Utica shale spreads, Tom Stewart, executive director of the 1,500-member Ohio Oil & Gas Association, told the newspaper. Ohio cannot ban shipments from other states, as they are protected

under the U.S. Constitution. Between 2007 and 2010, Ohio injected nearly 1.2 billion gallons of waste underground. The liquids spread out in the rock layers, making it impossible to predict how much more can be stored. However, it is unlikely the ground can store an extensive amount, as the drilling industry in Ohio has been using injection wells since the 1930s. Geologists suspect that the drilling fluid can trigger earthquakes along geological fault lines by allowing rocks to flow more easily past one another.

Ophelia picks up speed MIAMI (AP) — Forecasters say Hurricane Ophelia is expected to pass near or over Newfoundland, Canada, by early Monday. The National Hurricane Center in Miami said Sunday that Ophelia was a Category 2 storm with top sustained winds of about 100 mph (160 kph). The storm was moving northnortheast at 33 mph (54 kph). Ophelia was centered about 485 miles (785 kilometers) southwest of Cape Race, Newfoundland, and a tropical storm watch was in effect for Newfoundland’s Avalon Peninsula. The center says Ophelia is expected to weaken steadily but still be near hurricane strength when it approaches the peninsula Monday.

Anti-al-Qaida fighters die BAGHDAD (AP) — Four anti-al-Qaida fighters died Sunday when two roadside bombs exploded as their patrol passed by, Iraqi police and health officials said. A police officer said the first bomb went off next to a passing patrol of the Sahwa or Awakening Councils, a network of predominantly Sunni Arab militias allied with the Iraqi government. The officer said the second bomb hit another patrol rushing to the scene a few minutes later, killing two others. Three Sahwa fighters were injured in the blasts. The attack took place near the town of Mishahda, 20 miles (30 kilometers) north of Baghdad.

Wall Street protesters: We’re in for the long haul NEW YORK (AP) — The protesters who have been camping out in Manhattan’s Financial District for more than two weeks eat donated food and keep their laptops running with a portable gaspowered generator. They have a newspaper — the Occupied Wall Street Journal — and a makeshift hospital. They lack a clear objective, though they speak against corporate greed, social inequality, global climate change and other concerns. But they’re growing in numbers, getting more organized and show no sign of quitting. City officials “thought we were going to leave and we haven’t left,” 19-year-old protester Kira Moyer-Sims said. “We’re going to stay as long as we can.” Saturday’s arrests of more than 700 protesters who tried to cross the Brooklyn Bridge appeared to do little to dampen enthusiasm Sunday. The Occupy Wall Street demonstration started out last month with less than a dozen college students spending days and nights in Zuccotti Park, a private plaza off Broadway. It has grown sizably, however, both in New York City and elsewhere as people across the country, from Boston to Los Angeles, display their solidarity in similar protests. Moyer-Sims, of Portland, Ore., said the group has grown much more organized. “We have a protocol for most things,” she said, including get-

PROTESTORS AT Occupy Wall Street’s media area coordinate news updates on laptop computers powered by a portable gas-powered generator in Manhattan's financial district’s Zuccotti park, Sunday in New York. The Occupy Wall Street demonstration started out small, with less than a dozen college students, but has grown to include thousands of people in communities across the country. ting legal help for people who are arrested. The protest has drawn protesters of diverse ages and occupations, including Jackie Fellner, a marketing manager from Westchester County. “We’re not here to take down Wall Street. It’s not poor against rich. It’s about big money dictating which politicians get elected and what programs get funded,” she said. On Sunday, a group of New

Police chief tickets wife LODI, N.J. (AP) — A New Jersey police chief says no one is above the law — not even his wife. Lodi Police Chief Vincent Caruso ordered an officer to ticket his wife after she double parked while dropping off their 5-year-old son at school. Caruso told The Record newspaper he didn't want her to get any special treatment because of who she is. The chief paid the $54 ticket. It’s not the first time for Paula Caruso. The chief ordered another officer to ticket her two years ago after she forgot to move their vehicle for street cleaning.

York public school teachers sat in the plaza, including Denise Martinez of Brooklyn. She most students at her school live at or below the poverty level, and her classes are jammed with up to about 50 students. “These are America’s future workers, and what’s trickling down to them are the problems — the unemployment, the crime,” she said. She blamed Wall Street for causing the

country’s financial problems and said it needed to do more to solve them. Police officers have been a regular sight at the plaza, but NYPD spokesman Paul Browne said the protest has not led the department to assign additional officers to the area. The department won’t change its approach to handling the protest and will continue regular patrols and monitoring, he said.

30 soldiers killed SANAA, Yemen (AP) — A government warplane bombed an army position in southern Yemen, killing at least 30 soldiers involved in months of intense battles against al-Qaida members, officials said Sunday. The strike appeared to be a mistake, but the soldiers hit were from a unit that had defected to side with protesters seeking the president’s ouster in Yemen’s chapter of the Arab Spring, raising questions about whether the bombing might have been intentional. Yemen’s’ government and the renegade military units both consider Yemen’s al-Qaida branch an enemy. The president’s political opponents, however, accuse him of allowing the Islamic militants to seize control of several towns in southern Yemen earlier this year in a bid to spark fears in the West that without him in power, al-Qaida would take over.

DAVID GERBI gestures in front of the main synagogue in Tripoli, Libya, Sunday. An exiled Libyan Jew has returned to his homeland to rebuild Tripoli’s main synagogue and create an atmosphere of tolerance now that Moammar Gadhafi has been ousted.

‘Revolutionary Jew’ to restore synagogue TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) — David Gerbi is a 56-year-old psychoanalyst, but to Libyan rebels he was the “revolutionary Jew.” He returned to his homeland after 44 years in exile to help oust Moammar Gadhafi, and to take on what may be an even more challenging mission. That job began Sunday, when he took a sledgehammer to a concrete wall. Behind it: the door to Tripoli’s crumbling main synagogue, unused since Gadhafi expelled Libya’s small Jewish community early in his decades-long rule. Gerbi knocked down the wall, said a prayer and cried. “What Gadhafi tried to do is to eliminate the memory of us. He tried to eliminate the amazing language. He tried to eliminate the religion of the Jewish people,” said Gerbi, whose family fled to Italy when he was 12. “I want bring our legacy back, I want to give a chance to the Jewish of Libya to come back.” The Star of David is still visible inside and outside the peach-colored Dar al-Bishi synagogue in Tripoli’s walled Old City. An empty ark where

Torah scrolls were once kept still reads “Shema Israel” — “Hear, O Israel” — in faded Hebrew. But graffiti is painted on the walls, and the floor and upper chambers are covered in garbage — plastic water bottles, clothes, mattresses, drug paraphernalia and dead pigeon carcasses. He and a team of helpers carted in brooms, rakes and buckets to prepare to clean it out. It took Gerbi weeks to get permission from Libya’s new rulers to begin restoring the synagogue, which is part of his broader goal of promoting tolerance for Jews and other religions in a new Libya. “My hope and wish is to have an inclusive country,” he said. “I want to make justice, not only for me, but for all the people of Libya for the damage that Gadhafi did.” Gerbi’s family fled to Rome in 1967, when Arab anger was rising over the war in which Israel captured the West Bank, east Jerusalem and Gaza Strip. Two years later, Gadhafi expelled the rest of Libya’s Jewish community, which at its peak numbered about 37,000.

MANILA, Philippines (AP) — Rescuers scrambled Sunday to deliver food and water to hundreds of villagers stuck on rooftops for days because of flooding in the northern Philippines, where back-to-back typhoons have left at least 59 people dead. Typhoon Nalgae slammed ashore in northeastern Isabela province Saturday, then barreled across the main island of Luzon’s mountainous north and agricultural plains, which were still sodden from fierce rain and winds unleashed by a howler just days earlier. Nalgae left at least three people dead Saturday. Typhoon Nesat killed 56 others and left 28 missing in the same region before blowing out Friday. Nalgae was whirling over the South China Sea and heading toward southern China late Sunday afternoon,

230 miles (370 kilometers) from the Philippines’ northeast coast, with sustained winds of 75 miles (120 kilometers) per hour and gusts of 93 mph (150 kph), according to the Philippine government weather agency. China’s National Meteorological Center urged people in areas expected to be lashed by rainstorms in the next three days, including on southernmost Hainan island and in eastern Taiwan, to stay indoors and cancel large assemblies, China’s official Xinhua News Agency reported Sunday. Nalgae’s ferocious winds set off a rock slide in the northern mountain province of Bontoc in the Philippines on Saturday, causing boulders to roll down a mountainside and smash a passing van, where a passenger was pinned to death and another was injured, police said.

Candidate Christie could upend GOP race MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) — New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s entry into the 2012 presidential race could dramatically reshape what has become a two-man race between Mitt Romney and Rick Perry. But Christie, who’s under pressure from party elders to run, hasn’t faced national scrutiny — and he could join other early favorites who burned out fast. The budget-cutting Christie is the latest heartthrob of Republicans who have been looking for a more exciting candidate than Romney. The former Massachusetts governor ran in 2008 and has long been considered the one to beat in the GOP, which has a history of nominating candidates who lost once before. Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels, a favorite of fiscal conservatives, decided not to run. So did Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, long a part of the GOP establishment.

Perry, the Texas governor, jumped in to much fanfare only to sweat under the scrutiny his first national campaign brought. Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann rallied restive conservatives long enough to win a key test vote in Iowa but just as quickly receded to the background. Christie said in January he wasn’t “arrogant enough” to run for president in 2012. Now he is reconsidering in light of encouragement from GOP luminaries like Henry Kissinger, Nancy Reagan and Barbara Bush. If he runs, Christie probably would be able to raise millions for a campaign, though his rivals have a huge head start. With about 100 days before the caucuses in Iowa, he’d face the tough task of setting up state campaign organizations swiftly, though he already has a team of advisers with national campaign experience.

PIQUA — If women want to feel better, they need to lighten up a bit and get a handle on the stress that surrounds them, Kay Frances, MBA, told those attending the second annual Go Red for Expo Women/North Sept. 17 at Edison Community College in Piqua. Among the best medicines for stress are humor and laughter, said Frances, a former stand-up comic turned stress-management specialist. One of the biggest causes of stress is other people, she said, adding, “We can’t control what other people say and do, but we can control our reaction.” To accommodate that need, people should adopt “the art of laughing inside … have an inner oasis,” Frances said. A positive outlook also is important as optimism can contribute to a stronger immune system, better heart health and decreased risk of stroke, Frances said, re-

With the presentation Agriculture Director Jim Zehringer and Dr. Tony of the new standards Dr. Forshey, the state veteri- Tony Forshey pointed

out that the standards are to ensure the hutreatment of mane Ohioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s livestock. They do not deal with animal cruelty. The difference is most evident in how complaints are handled. If an animal welfare complaint is made to ODA by an identified complainant â&#x20AC;&#x201D; no anonymous complaints will be investigated â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the complaint will be investigated. If a welfare concern is identified, the main goal is to get the livestock owner into compliance. Any penalties that may be incurred are civil penalties that can carry a fine. It was reiterated throughout the evening that no one from any government organization will be out looking for violators. Only credible, identified complainants will alert ODA. The standards outline

key definitions of the humane treatment of livestock and outline how animals will be handled in different situations. One major discussion point was the treatment of ambulatory and nonambulatory disabled animals. An ambulatory disabled animal is any animal that is able to walk but is in some way injured or ill. A nonambulatory disabled animal is injured or ill and cannot walk. The new standards are specific enough to outline how each species will be handled if an animal is nonambulatory disabled and in a specific location like a farm, fair or slaughterhouse. The standards have also formerly defined how and why an animal should be euthanized. The new standards may potentially have an economic impact on

western Ohio. The standards outline new housing requirements for livestock animals like veal calves, laying hens and sows. Existing barns will remain in compliance until dates specified in the standards, which range from 2016 to 2025. Provisions in the standards will allow current barns to be expanded upon with current practices. However, new construction that is a new facility separate from a current structure will need to follow new practices outlined in the standards. Remarks were made by presenters that the board hopes Ohio farmers will continue to expand livestock in western Ohio and not move 20 miles west to Indiana where the new standards do not apply. Not just large farms will be impacted by the standards. One of the

more peculiar standards states that sheep, goats and alpacas must not be raised individually. If anyone owns a single alpaca they will need to find a companion for it! The new standards formalize many practices Ohioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farmers are using to humanely raise livestock. Although some portions of the standards are controversial in the livestock industry, the new standards will give Ohioans assurance that their livestock is raised humanely. For more information on the standards or the board, visit h t t p : / / w w w. o h i o l i v e stockcarestandardsboard.com or call the ODA Division of Animal Health at (614) 7286220.

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 Tuesday, Oct. 4, 2011 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is not the day to ask for a raise or to ask any authority figure for a favor. It ain’t going to happen. Keep your head down and your powder dry. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Discussions about politics, religion and racial issues might be a bit glum today. Somebody is quick to rain on your parade. (Don’t make a big deal about this.) GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) 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, Oct. 5, 2011 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You likely will meet an unusual person today, perhaps in a group setting. This person might lead you to change your future goals. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Quite likely, you will be in the public eye briefly today. Bosses, parents, teachers and VIPs will notice you. Just be aware of this. (Check your zipper.)

You might be disappointed in your fair share of something. Others seem to be stingy or tightfisted. This applies to social events, sports, parties and the care of children. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Relations with partners and close friends are a bit strained today. Knowing this ahead of time, don’t expect too much. Just be realistic. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Relations with co-workers might be strained today. Similarly, you might feel concerned about your health. Both of these issues will blow over quickly. (Relax.) VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Romance is in the toilet.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Travel plans might be canceled or delayed today. Alternatively, you suddenly might get a chance to take a trip! (It could go either way.) Higher education also will be interrupted. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Check your bank account. The wealth of others might affect you today, either favorably or unfavorably. Definitely keep an eye on your money. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Partners are independent and rebellious today. That’s why they suddenly might shock you by doing something

Similarly, you might be disappointed with social events, dealings with children or anything related to sports. People are tightfisted today. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Relations with family members are strained today. Therefore, don’t push the river. A female relative might discourage you from something. (Don’t take this seriously.) SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) People are glum today, so it’s easy to feel like your glass is half-empty instead of halffull. But it’s all a matter of perspective. Tomorrow is another day. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You probably feel broke

completely different or unexpected. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Your work schedule will be interrupted by computer crashes, power outages, fire drills, staff shortages and canceled appointments. Unexpected change is par for the course today. Just go with the flow. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) This is an accidentprone day for children in your care, so be extra vigilant. However, surprise romance might catch you off guard. Woo, woo! SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Your home routine will be interrupted

today. (There’s way too much month left at the end of the money!) You are not alone. Join the club. We number millions. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Today the Moon is in your sign, which gives you a bit of good luck. However, it’s not getting along well with the other planets, which is why pessimism is rampant today. (Oh well.) AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) If you work alone or behind the scenes today, you will be most productive. Don’t expect cooperation from others. It is what it is. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You might be inclined to feel like group situations are

today, because small appliances might break down or minor breakages could occur. Surprise company might drop by. A family member might have surprising news. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) This is an accidentprone day for your sign, so be careful. This influence is mild, but it’s there. On the upside, expect to meet new faces and see new places! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Keep your eyes open, because you might find money today or you might lose it. Ditto for your possessions. Guard them against loss or theft. If shopping, count

discouraging experiences today. In particular, a female might be busy telling you why you can’t do something. (Yipee! Just what you needed.) YOU BORN TODAY You love beauty and have excellent taste. You also have a sense of the ridiculous. This is because you have the inner freedom to be who you are. Very liberating! You have strong management skills, but you’re subtle about using them. You love danger and adventure. This year, something you’ve been involved in for about nine years will diminish or end in order to make room for something new. Birthdate of: Rachael Leigh Cook, actress; Buster Keaton, Susan stuntman/director; Sarandon, actress.

your change and check your bill. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) You feel restless! You want the freedom to do your own thing today. You want to spread your wings and fly. Well, if you can do this, great. Nevertheless, most people responsibilities; have that’s just a reality. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Exciting secrets might be revealed today. You might intuit these, or someone might actually spill the beans to you. Either way, you’re

surprised. YOU BORN TODAY You have a strong sense of justice and often are a champion for the underdog. You work for social change. You work well with others, who find you to be fun-loving and productive. You’re quick to defend your rights and the rights of others because fairness matters to you. In the year ahead, you will begin a fresh new cycle. Open any door! Birthdate of: Kate Winslet, actress; Jesse Eisenberg, actor; Parminder Nagra, actress.

The 2011 Academia competition season began Sept. 26 at Botkins, Fairlawn and Anna high schools. The primary purpose of Academia is to promote academic competition and enthusiasm for scholarship among students in Shelby County. Last year’s champion, Sidney City Schools, began this year’s competition with another outstanding performance, school officials said. Sidney has won the competition 13 times since the inaugural season in 1975. “We want to thank all of the school districts, coaches, and volunteers for their commitment to providing Shelby County’s best and brightest students with an opportunity to demonstrate their unique intellectual talents,” said Shawn McEl-

CBC’s Red Cord No child is illegitimate Honor Program grows Kathy Pleiman, and Logan Shelby County coordinator for the Community Blood Center (CBC), is joining parents and educators in honoring high school seniors committed to helping others through the gift of life. The CBC Red Cord Honor Program is entering its third year and a record number of participants are expected to earn the Red Cord by the time graduation arrives next spring.

1,700 seniors Last year more than 1,700 high school seniors for CBC’s 15-county service area earned Red Cord distinction by registering to donate at least three times during their high school careers. CBC launched the Red Cord Honor Program in 2009 with 12 area schools enrolled in the pilot program. By the end of the school year, 235 graduates from eight schools had earned the honor. In the 2010-2011 school year, the number of Red Cord recipients soared to 1,700, representing 98 high schools across CBC’s 15-county region, all of which hosted multiple blood drives. CBC is grateful to parents for the consent for their children to donate, and for the cooperation of educators at participating schools. Both are essential to student success in the Red Cord Honor Program.

Program rules Here are the requirements for the Red Cord Honor Program: • Students are enrolled when they register to donate blood at their Red Cord Honor Program participating high school blood drive. • Students must register to donate three or more times during their high school careers. • Students may doYour Link to the Community

nate at their Red Cord Honor Program participating high school blood drive, any CBC community blood drive or at any one of the CBC branch locations to qualify for a Red Cord. High school blood drives are starting in Shelby County as the school year begins. Many schools within the county are participating in student blood drives, which accounts for 10 percent of all blood collected by the CommuBlood Center. nity Without student blood donors, the blood supply would be critically low, Pleiman said. Student blood donors are saving lives every day by donating at their school blood drives, she said.

Requirements Blood donation requirements: • Donors are required to provide a photo ID that includes their full name. Past CBC donors are also asked to bring their CBC donor ID card. • Donors must be at least 16 years of age (16 years old with parental consent: form available at www.givingblood.org or at CBC branch and blood drive locations), weigh a minimum of 110 pounds, and be in good physical health. The Food and Drug Administration changes blood donor eligibility guidelines periodically. Individuals with eligibility questions are invited to email canidonate@cbccts.org or call 1(800) 388-GIVE.

Viagra was introduced in 1998. I can’t substantiate that a greater number of Down children have been born since its introduction. You asked a very interesting question. DEAR DR.

I don’t believe it’s a legitimate arthritis treatment. However, if you like gin and like raisins, then the practice is OK, so long as you don’t go overboard on taking in too much alcohol.

In order to save money on housing, my best friend, “Keira,” and I decided to get an apartment together. She’s engaged, so it’s actually the two of us and her fiance, “Bruce.” All of us were enthusiastic about the idea. They moved in a few months before me because I had a job back home and their jobs were at school. Because they moved in first, they treat me as if it is “their” apartment and I merely have a room there. When I try to buy things for the apartment, such as a new tablecloth, bath mat, etc., Keira immediately undoes any changes I have made when I leave for the day. I feel it is her passive-aggressive way of undermining me. It happens every day with something.

Bucks struggle, lose 10-7 BY TONY ARNOLD

DETROIT TIGERS pitcher Jose Valverde celebrates the Tigers’ 5-3 win over the New York Yankees in Game 2 of baseball's American League division series on Sunday at Yankee Stadium in New York.

Tigers even ALDS NEW YORK (AP) — Detroit closer Jose Valverde held off a furious New York ninth-inning rally and the Tigers avoided a major slipup, beating the Yankees 5-3 on a rainy Sunday and evening their best-of-five AL playoff series at one game apiece. Down 5-1, the Yankees scored twice in the ninth. Helped when Detroit catcher Alex Avila lost his footing on the slick on-deck circle while chasing a foul pop that would’ve been the final out, New York got a chance to win it. “It’s a little hard. That’s what happens sometimes,” Valverde said. After his popup landed untouched, Curtis Granderson drew a walk. With two outs and two on, Robinson Cano came to the plate. Cano, who hit a grand slam and had six RBIs as the Yankees won the opener, wiped away raindrops from his helmet and then hit a routine groundball to end it. “All of a sudden, against anybody — but particularly against a team like them with the short porch in right field — it was not a good feeling,” Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. “But it worked out OK.” Tigers starter Max Scherzer pitched no-hit ball into the sixth before Cano blooped an opposite-field single to left. Miguel Cabrera’s two-run homer in the first off Freddy Garcia gave Scherzer an early edge, and the Tigers took a 40 lead into the eighth. Granderson hit a solo homer off Tigers reliever Joaquin Benoit in the eighth. Pretty soon, the rain — and all the drama — filled Yankee Stadium. Game 3 is Monday at Detroit. In an ace rematch, of sorts, CC Sabathia is scheduled to start for the Yankees against Justin Verlander. The two All-Stars faced each other in the series opener Friday night, but the game was suspended after only 11/2 innings because of rain. The Yankees lost three of four this year at Detroit and are 22-25 at Comerica Park since it opened in 2000. It’s one of only two AL stadiums where New York has a losing record.

COLUMBUS — With points tougher than a Rubik’s cube, Ohio State lost 10-7 to Michigan State in the Big Ten opener for both squads. The visiting Spartans snapped a seven game losing streak to the shorthanded Buckeyes. The Ohio State offense looked as flat as twoyear-old Pepsi and needed a touchdown pass from Joe Bauserman to Evan Spencer with ten seconds remaining to avoid their first shutout since 1982. The transparent and very one-dimensional Buckeye offense struggled to get anything going all day long. Creativity wasn’t the name of the game for the OSU play calling. Their first three possessions were especially difficult to watch as OSU mustered only seven yards on their first possession, two yards on their second, and minus-3 yards on their third. Finally, it was kind of a big deal when OSU quarterback Braxton Miller completed a 12-yard pass to Chris Fields. The completion marked the first time the Bucks moved the chains and came on the second-to-last play of the quarter. However, it turned out to be a very long day for the Buckeye offense. The OSU offensive line got pushed around all day. The Spartans recorded 13 tackles for loss and nine sacks. Michigan State decided very early on that Ohio State wasn’t going to throw the ball so they loaded up the box. The Bucks running game failed miserably, managing just 35yards on the afternoon. OSU punter Ben Buchanan had a busy afternoon. With the Buckeye offense struggling he booted the ball away 10 times for an average of 40.6 yards.

Michigan State’s Le’Veon Bell, left, runs around the end as Ohio State’s Andrew Sweat, top right, and Christian Bryant make a tackle during the fourth quarter of an NCAA college football game Saturday in Columbus, Ohio. Michigan State beat Ohio State 10-7. “We just gotta do a better job,” Ohio State head coach Luke Fickell said. “That’s ultimately what it comes down to. You don’t give your quarterback much of a chance if he’s getting sacked nine times. Gotta give (Michigan State) credit. They did a really good job at it.” Michigan State’s lone first half touchdown provided a 7-0 advantage heading into the locker room. The Spartan scoring drive went five plays, 65-yards, and was capped off with quarterback

Kirk Cousins hitting B.J Cunningham for a 33-yard score. The first half Spartan touchdown combined with a 50-yard field goal by Dan Conroy early in the fourth quarter loomed large. Freshman quarterback Braxton Miller was largerly ineffective in three quarters of action before giving way to Joe Bauserman. Miller was 5 of 10 passing for 56 yards, an interception, and was sacked four times. “Things were happening

fast for him,” Fickell said of Miller. “He just maybe didn’t see the field real well. We thought we were going to have to throw the football, as many people as they were putting in there (in the box to stop the run) and as much heat as they were bringing.” Four suspended players return next week for the Buckeyes, but the schedule certainly doesn’t get any easier. OSU travels to Lincoln for their first matchup against Nebraska as a conference opponent.

Bengals deal Bills first loss CINCINNATI (AP) — The kings of comebacks finally lost because they couldn’t do something much easier ‚Äî hold a late lead against a struggling team. Up by two touchdowns, the previously undefeated Bills came apart. Rookie Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton led his first NFL comeback, setting up Mike Nugent’s 43-yard field goal as time ran out for a 23-20 victory Sunday in front of the smallest crowd in Paul Brown Stadium’s history. This one stunned Buffalo (3-1), which had been the AFC’s last perfect team. “It’s the worst way to lose it,” said running back Fred Jackson, who had a 2-yard touchdown run. The calls went against them, too. Leading 20-13 midway through the fourth quarter, the Bills had a chance to regain control. On a third-and-1 from their 47-yard line, Ryan Fitzpatrick threw a pass to Stevie Johnson that would have kept the drive going. The officials ruled he juggled the ball as he fell, a call that was upheld on review. Buffalo had to punt. Cincinnati had its chance. Many of the 41,142 fans had left when Dalton led a tying touchdown drive, running the final 3 yards on a draw play with 4:09 to go. He got Cincinnati (2-2) in position to pull it out by scram-

The youngster’s strong finish ended Cincinnati’s streak of 10 straight losses against Buffalo since the 1988 AFC championship game. The Bills got off to that 3-0 start by pulling off historic comebacks, rallying from deficits of 18 against Oakland and 21 points against New England in the past two games. No team in NFL history had such back-to-back comebacks. This time, it came down to holding a lead. They couldn’t do it. “I don’t know if it had anything to do with all the emo-

tion from last week’s game,” Fitzpatrick said. “It had more to do with us flat-out not showing up in the second half.” Buffalo went up 17-3 during Dalton’s horrid first half. The second-round draft pick was only 7 of 20 for 116 yards with two sacks and an interception that safety Bryan Scott returned 43 yards for a touchdown. His passer rating was a minuscule 15.8 in the opening half. The rookie finally got going with a 17-yard touchdown pass to Jermaine Gresham, the Bengals’ first touchdown in seven quarters. His draw play tied it, and he scrambled to set up the winning kick the next time Cincinnati got the

ball. On third-and-3 from the Cincinnati 43, he ran away from the rush and dived out of bounds, stretching the ball as far ahead as he could. It was marked a few inches short of the first down. After a review, the ball was moved about a foot forward, giving the Bengals a first down with 45 seconds left. Brian Leonard caught a 15yard pass and ran 14 yards to the Buffalo 25, setting up the winning kick. Dalton finished 18 of 36 for 298 yards. Cedric Benson ran 19 times for 104 yards. Coming off an emotional win over New England, the Bills were flat on offense and never got moving.

Lady Jackets win North opener The Sidney High girls soccer team opened Greater Western Ohio Conference North play on Saturday, and posted a 2-1 win over Vandalia. The Lady Jackets are 6-3-2 overall. “We didn’t play very well in the early going and Vandalia was taking advantage,” said Sidney coach Stacey Goffena. Sidney was able to put in one goal, but it was nullified on an offsides call. Sidney then gave Vandalia a 1-0 lead when a ball that was being cleared bounced off a Sidney player and into the goal. “That was tough, going from being one up to one down because of our own mistakes,” said Goffena. “But I thought we battled back well and played much better in the last 20 minutes of the first half.” Sidney got a goal when Lauren Elmore played a ball through to Morgan Knasel to tie the game up. Then in the second half, even though Sidney dominated, the winning goal didn’t come until just 15 minutes re-

mained when Taylor Rickert connected on a direct kick from 30 yards out. Vandalia had a breakaway attempt that was turned away by keeper Carolyn VanMatre. “I thought defensively, Abigail Eppley played flawless,” said Goffena. “She came up big for us tonight.” The junior varsity also won 2-1, with both goals coming from Lauren Boyd. Sidney hosts Greenville tonight and Piqua Wednesday.

Lehman girls win over YS, 5-0 YELLOW SPRINGS — The Lehman girls had an overwhelming edge in shots and went on to beat Yellow Springs 5-0 in girls soccer action here Saturday. The Lady Cavs are now 7-2-2 heading to Franklin-Monroe Tuesday. Lehman led 2-0 at the half on goals by Marla Schroeder and Taylor Lachey. Assists were by Sarah Titterington and Abby Ciriegio.

CLEVELAND BROWNS quarterback Colt McCoy (12) looks to pass as Tennessee Titans defensive end Dave Ball (98) closes in during the first quarter of an NFL football game Sunday in Cleveland.

Browns routed by Tennessee CLEVELAND (AP) — Matt Hasselbeck’s free agent contract with Tennessee included a few perks. One of them wasn’t a rocking chair. The 13-year veteran quarterback, who left Seattle after a playofffilled decade, threw three touchdown passes in the first half and safety Jordan Babineaux returned an interception 97 yards for a TD as the Titans thumped the Cleveland Browns 31-13 on Sunday for their third straight win under firstyear coach Mike Munchak. Hasselbeck picked apart Cleveland’s secondary in the opening half, throwing for 194 yards on several big plays while helping the Titans (3-1) build a 21-6 lead. The 36-year-old finished 10 of 20 for 220 yards ‚Äî 26 on just two completions after halftime. When the Titans signed Hasselbeck to a three-year deal in late July, the decision caused some head scratching around the league. Now, other teams may be kicking themselves. “We thought he had a lot left in the tank from watching him in the playoffs last year,” Munchak said. “We didn’t bring him here to retire quietly. We brought him here to do exactly what he’s been doing.” The Titans were playing with heavy hearts. On Saturday, they learned that Mike Heimerdinger, their beloved former offensive coordinator known as “Dinger” died of cancer

at 58. Heimerdinger died while in Mexico to receive experimental treatments for a rare form of the disease. Heimerdinger and Munchak spent several seasons on former Titans coach Jeff Fisher’s staff. “I was a young coach, and we grew together,” Munchak said. “He was great. It’s a big, big loss to the organization.” Tennessee’s Chris Johnson finally broke out of his early season funk, rushing 23 times for 101 yards, three more than his total in three games. Johnson was glad to finally contribute to an offense Hasselbeck has humming. “Of all the quarterbacks I’ve played with, he’s most like a coach on the field,” Johnson said. Hasselbeck said the transition has been easier than expected, and credited offensive coordinator Chris Palmer for making it smooth and seamless. “I’m the new guy, but our five guys up front have been together for so long,” he said. “And when the defense scores points, you love it. Chris is really running the show on the passing game.” The Browns (2-2) didn’t build momentum following a comeback win last week over Miami, and Cleveland enters its bye with renewed problems the club hopes don’t worsen. Cornerback Joe Haden, arguably Cleveland’s best player, sprained his left knee and will undergo further examination on Monday.

Separate Colors in a Green Leaf using Chromatography What you need: • leaves, small jars (baby food jars work well) • covers for jars or aluminum foil or plastic wrap • rubbing alcohol, paper coffee filters • shallow pan, hot tap water, tape, pen • plastic knife or spoon, clock or timer What you do: 1. Collect 2-3 large leaves from several different trees. Tear or

chop the leaves into very small pieces and put them into small jars labeled with the name or location of the tree. 2. Add enough rubbing alcohol to each jar to cover the leaves. Using a plastic knife or spoon, carefully chop and grind the leaves in the alcohol. SAFETY NOTE: Isopropyl rubbing alcohol can be harmful if mishandled or misused. Read and carefully follow all warnings on the alcohol bottle.

tortillas across the table. “You know about the curse of our family.” Felix was always interested in Grandma’s stories. He was even willing to put up with helping her cook, because cooking time usually meant story time. “Yes,” Felix answered, adding beans and rice to the tortillas and rolling them into burritos. “But Grandma, why does the curse always have to fall on me? Nobody else in our family has bad luck.” “Felix, have I told you the story about where that cursed thing came from?” she asked, reaching out and touching the small brass bell Felix wore on a string. “Tell me again!” Felix begged. “Many years ago, my great-great-grandparents went through some rough times. They had no money or food, just a skinny goat. One evening, a mysterious old woman came to their home and tied that brass bell around the neck of their goat. She said the bell must stay on the goat, or bad things would come to the family. Afterward, the goat produced enough milk that they were able to feed themselves and sell the extra. “But late one night, my greedy uncle snuck into the barn and took the bell from the goat. He tied it around the neck of the goose, hoping to get more eggs,” Grandma continued.

The Brass Bell Written by Cathy Sewell and illustrated by Blaise Sewell of The Curriculum Closet Chapter 1: Rotten Luck The score was tied and Felix and his friends were looking to claim the winning goal. “Open!” Hector gasped, making a breakaway. “Pass it to me!” Felix planted his foot in the grass and kicked the green and blue sphere toward his teammate. The ball went airborne and all the players stood still, holding their breaths. Felix could only watch as the ball seemed to grow wings and fly through the air. It sailed right over Hector, over the goal and even over the tall fence that towered behind the soccer field. “Great shot,” his teammates growled sarcastically. Everyone headed off the field. They all knew the wall rule: Anything hit, kicked or thrown over the 6-foot wooden wall is lost forever. Felix found himself all alone, still kneeling in the same spot where he had launched the ball. “It’s not fair, abuelita,” Felix later told his grandmother. “Why do I always have such rotten luck?” “Now, nieto,” she began, sliding a plate of fresh corn

3. Cover the jars very loosely with lids or plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Place the jars carefully into a shallow tray containing 1 inch of hot tap water. SAFETY NOTE: Hot water above 150 F can quickly cause severe burns. Experts recommend setting your water heater thermostat no higher than 125 F. 4. Keep the jars in the water for at least a half-hour, longer if needed, until the alcohol has become colored (the darker the better).

“When he went out to check on the goose the next morning, he found the goat had died. He told his parents what he had done and begged their forgiveness. Ever since, our family has had to pay for his mistake!” Felix had heard the goat story for years, but had a hard time believing that this little trinket had cursed their family for generations. “Felix! You’ve only rolled one burrito! No more stories for you,” Grandma teased. “Sorry,” Felix said. “I just haven’t had such a great day. I’m going to the attic until dinner.” The attic was Felix’s quiet place. In a house full of brothers, sisters and cousins, he had very little privacy. He spotted an old, dusty box of books in the corner and selected a leather-bound one called “Coronado and the Golden Cities.” Felix loved books about conquistadors. He immediately cracked open the cover to start reading. The next day at school, Felix was still thinking about what he had read. “One of these days, I’m going exploring!” he told his friend, Karol. Karol usually kept quiet in class, but Felix didn’t have anyone else to talk to because most of the soccer team was still mad at him.

Twirl each jar gently about every five minutes. Replace the hot water if it cools off. 5. Cut a long thin strip of coffee filter paper for each of the jars and label it. 6. Remove jars from water and uncover. Place a strip of filter paper into each jar so that one end is in the alcohol. Bend the other end over the top of the jar and secure it with tape. 7. The alcohol will travel up the paper, bringing the colors with it. After 30-90 minutes (or longer), the colors will travel different distances up the paper as the alcohol evaporates. You should be able to see different shades of green, and possibly some yellow, orange or red, depending on the type of leaf. 8. Remove the strips of paper, let them dry and then tape them to a piece of plain paper.

“Where would you go?” Karol asked. “I’ve been reading a story about an explorer named Coronado,” Felix said. “Did you know that Coronado explored the land right around here?” “Hey, that’s freaky!” Hector joined the conversation, uninvited as usual. “I wonder if our town, Corona, is named after him?” “Anyway,” Felix continued, “Coronado was looking for the seven lost cities of gold.” “I know of a mysterious golden city not too far away,” Hector said, trying to sound serious. “Not many know of its secret treasure, but this knowledge has been passed down for generations in my family. I suppose I could be persuaded to share this information, with two fellow explorers.” Hector glanced over to see if Karol and Felix were listening. They both just looked at each other. “All right, then, it’s settled!” Hector announced, after the pair continued to stand in silence. “We’ll meet here at 9 o’clock tomorrow morning!”

Fun Fact What do autumn leaves and ripening bananas have in common? The green color in unripe bananas comes from chlorophyll, the same pigment that gives green leaves their color. As bananas ripen, the chlorophyll breaks down and disappears, revealing the yellow color which has been there all along. The yellows and oranges of autumn leaves are also revealed as their chlorophyll breaks down. Of course, other changes also occur as bananas ripen: the starches change to sugar and the flesh softens as pectin (a carbohydrate) breaks down.

Why Do Leaves Change Color? While you were playing in the hot sun during summer vacation the trees on the streets, in the parks, and in the forests were working hard to keep you cool. To feed the shiny green leaves that make shade, trees use sunlight to convert water and carbon dioxide into sugar. This is called photosynthesis. Now it's autumn, and you're back in school. Those hardworking trees, on the other hand, need to take a break from all that photosynthesizing. When leaves change color from green to yellow, bright orange, or red, you'll know that trees are beginning their long winter's rest. Where do leaf colors come from? Leaf color comes from pigments. Pigments are natural substances produced by leaf cells. The three pigments that color leaves are: • chlorophyll (green) • carotenoid (yellow, orange, and brown) • anthocyanin (red) Chlorophyll is the most important of the three. Without the chlorophyll in leaves, trees wouldn't be able to use sunlight to produce food. Carotenoids create bright yellows and oranges in familiar fruits and vegetables. Corn, carrots, and bananas are just a few of the many plants colored by carotenoid. Anthocyanins add the color red to plants, including cranberries, red apples, cherries, strawberries and others. Chlorophyll and carotenoid are in leaf cells all the time during the

growing season. But the chlorophyll covers the carotenoid — that's why summer leaves are green, not yellow or orange. Most anthocyanins are produced only in autumn, and only under certain conditions. Not all trees can make anthocyanin. How do leaves change color? As the Earth makes its 365-day journey around the sun, some parts of the planet will get fewer hours of sunlight at certain times of the year. In those regions, the days become shorter and the nights get longer. The temperature slowly drops. Autumn comes, and then winter. Trees respond to the decreasing amount of sunlight by producing less and less chlorophyll. Eventually, a tree stops producing chlorophyll. When that happens, the carotenoid already in the leaves can finally show through. The leaves become a bright rainbow of glowing yellows, sparkling oranges and warm browns. What about red leaves? Read on. Do leaves change because of weather? Perhaps you've noticed that in some years, the red fall colors seem brighter and more spectacular than in other years. The temperature and cloud cover can make a big difference in a tree's red colors from year to year. When a number of warm, sunny autumn days and cool but not freezing nights come one after the other, it's going to be a good year for reds. In the daytime, the leaves can produce lots of sugar, but the cool night temperatures prevent the sugar sap from flowing through the leaf veins and down

TANUUM Sun Prints & Leaf Mobiles SUN PRINTS with paper taped to window... MAKE LEAF PRINT ART... Materials: Colored construction paper (make sure you use paper that will fade), leaves gathered from yard, glue stick, masking tape Optional: picture frames 1. Dab a bit of glue onto the back of a leaf, and attach to a piece of construction paper (If you are going to frame--you can pre-trim the paper to fit a 5"x7" frame--frames can be made from foam, cardboard or card-stock). 2. Tape the paper to a sunny window, with the leaf facing out. Leave up for THREE TO FOUR days, or UNTIL YOU NOTICE that the paper's color has faded. (Some directions say a week or longer. This time estimate would be more accurate. You'll know by the fading.) 3. Remove from the window and gently peel the leaf off to reveal the print. Frame and hang.

into the branches and trunk. Anthocyanins to the rescue! Researchers have found out that anthocyanins are produced as a form of protection. They allow the plant to recover nutrients in the leaves before they fall off. This helps make sure that the tree will be ready for the next growing season. Anthocyanins give leaves their bright, brilliant shades of red, purple and crimson. The yellow, gold and orange colors created by carotenoid remain fairly constant from year to year. That's because carotenoids are always present in leaves and the amount does not change in response to weather. The amount of rain in a year also affects autumn leaf color. A severe drought can delay the arrival of fall colors by a few weeks. A warm, wet period during fall will lower the intensity, or brightness, of autumn colors. A severe frost will kill the leaves, turning them brown and causing them to drop early. The best autumn colors come when there's been: • a warm, wet spring • a summer that's not too hot or dry, and • a fall with plenty of warm sunny days and cool nights.

Did You Know?

You can use fall leaf color to help identify different tree species. Look for these leaf colors on the trees in your neighborhood. • Oaks: red, brown or russet • Hickories: golden bronze • Dogwood: purple-red • Birch: bright yellow • paper birch • yellow birch • Poplar: golden yellow • Maple trees show a whole range of colors: • Sugar Maple: orange-red • Black Maple: glowing yellow • Red Maple: bright scarlet Why do leaves fall? A tree's roots, branches and twigs can endure freezing temperatures, but most leaves are not so tough. On a broadleaf tree — say a maple or a birch — the tender thin leaves, made up of cells filled with water sap, will freeze in winter. Any plant tissue unable to live through the winter must be sealed off and shed to ensure the tree's survival. As sunlight decreases in autumn, the veins that carry sap into and out of a leaf gradually close. A layer of cells, called the separation layer, forms at the base of the leaf stem. When this layer is complete, the leaf is separated from the tissue that connected it to the branch, and it falls. Oak leaves are the exception. The separation layer never fully detaches the dead oak leaves, and they remain on the tree through winter. Evergreen trees — pines, spruces, cedars and firs — don't lose their leaves, or needles, in winter. The needles are covered with a heavy wax coating and the fluids inside the cells contain substances that resist freezing. Evergreen leaves can live for several years before they fall and are replaced by new growth. On the ground, fallen leaves are broken down by bacteria, fungi, earthworms and other organisms. The decomposed leaves restock the soil with nutrients, and become part of the spongy humus layer on the forest floor that absorbs and holds rainfall. In nature, nothing goes to waste.
