Head uptown for down-home fun Negotiators have frameI cant think of a Friday night in the newsroom I enjoy more than Canal Days Friday night. We throw open the windows and listen to the band and the crowd and it makes me smile because they sound like they are having so much fun. Canal Days is a lot more than what you can do. Its also about who you see. Its great to find old friends and reminisce while enjoying a carnival atmosphere. New friends are also a possibility. Todays schedule is packed with activities for all ages, including a pancake and sausage breakfast, bingo, the quilt show, the ArtFest exhibit as well as the art show, a bake sale, the pet parade, kiddie tractor pull, tractor show, a Queens Tea, a cruise-in and more. Young artists will fill the sidewalks with chalk drawings and anglers will vie for the top prizes in the fishing derby. New this year is Country Basket Bingo with some amazing prizes. I played Purse Bingo last year and can I share something you wont tell? I am just no good at bingo and then I get a little cranky when I dont win. I know the odds are stacked against you because there are so many who come out and play to support Canal Days. However, I figure I have just as much as everyone else and yet I never win. Harrumph! Canal Days is so many things and different

things to each person. Its a chance to see people you perhaps dont get to talk to any other time. Former residents often travel back to Delphos for what is considered by many a sort of homecoming. Businesses and clubs rally to make the event special and more engaging than the year before. The Toast and Battle just keep getting bigger and better. Theres good food and good conversation. The kids get a chance to blow off some steam and run around like spider monkeys on a bad sugar binge. Theres also a lot of organized fun to keep them focused. What more could you ask for in the last premier festival of the year? Well, if you come up with something, pass it along to the committee. Im sure theyll try to fit it in if possible. They are some amazing people backed by awesome volunteers. Give them some backing of your own.

The Delphos work to end Chicago strike Herald CHICAGO (AP) The children can succeed.
citys nearly weeklong teachers strike appeared headed toward a resolution Friday after negotiators emerged from marathon talks to say they had achieved a framework that could end the walkout in time for students to return to class Monday. Both sides were careful not to describe the deal as a final agreement and declined to release the terms. They expected to spend the weekend working out details before union delegates are asked to vote Sunday on whether to call off the strike. School Board President David Vitale said the heavy lifting was over after long hours of talks placed frameworks around all the major issues. Union President Karen Lewis agreed, saying there were no main sticking points right now. But she reiterated that there is also no contract yet and the strike remains in full effect. Despite the apparent progress, she said, the union is still suspicious of the board after being burned in the past. The walkout has been a potent display of union power at a time when organized labor has been losing ground around the nation. The negotiations have been closely followed by many other unions and school districts that face the same issues about the future of urban education, particularly teacher evaluations linked to student test scores and the threat of school closures. In a statement, Mayor Rahm Emanuel said the framework is an honest and principled compromise that preserves more time for learning in the classroom, provides more support teachers to excel at their craft and gives principals the latitude and responsibility to build an environment in which our Robert Bloch, an attorney for the union, called it one of the most difficult labor contracts negotiated in decades. He said many of the core issues had been worked out but not all of them. Shortly after negotiators reported the progress, Lewis entered a meeting of union delegates. The delegates could be seen through windows cheering and applauding, some of them on their feet and pumping their fists in the air. Journalists were not allowed inside the meeting, but delegates said later that the cheering was not for a deal but because the negotiating team had promised there would be no agreement until everything was in writing. I think we want to go back to the classroom, but we are willing to do whatever we need to, said Adam Heenan, a delegate and teacher at Curie Metro High School. We are prepared to go back to teach. We are prepared to continue to walk. Still, both sides sounded more optimistic than at any point since teachers hit the picket line Monday. When the contract offer is complete, the unions bargaining committee expected to recommend the contract proposal to the membership, Bloch said. And if we have been listening to the membership well and have heard their concerns, then that agreement will be accepted by our membership overall, he said. The walkout, the first by Chicago teachers in 25 years, canceled five days of school for more than 350,000 public school students who had just returned from summer vacation.

DEAR EDITOR: I went to the Jefferson/St. Johns soccer game, which was played in Fort Jennings. This is where the Jefferson girls soccer team has to play their home games, since they are not able to use one of the fields in Delphos to play on. What threw me back is the Jefferson team had to carpool over to Fort Jennings and the St. Johns team was able to arrive in a bus marked Delphos City Schools. I understand that this was considered a home game for Jefferson but to have both teams from the same town have to travel to a different city to play their games seems a bit ridiculous. What if one of the Jefferson girls that is the driver of the carpool vehicle gets into an accident? Who is liable? If Jefferson is forced to play home games out of town, then the school should provide them with a bus to those games. Since the public school does not have a fieled to use, then the city should step up and help fix this issue. St. Johnss baseball team does not have a baseball field of their own but the City of Delphos has offered the use of the public diamonds. I am glad to see that public facilities can be supplied to a private school in need but accommodations for a public school cannot be met. This seems to be the story of this town. Is it not time to set aside a local dispute and start doing what is best for our kids in our town? John Miller DEAR EDITOR: Reading Mr. Donaldsons letter reminds me of the Jewish persecution during Nazi Germany. At first, Jewish businesses were boycotted. Then Jewish authors had their works turned down by publishers, Jewish teachers and professors were dismissed from schools and universities, as well as Jewish actors being dismissed from theatres. To isolate the Jews, they were isolated from one cultural thing after another. But some still had hope and considered themselves loyal Germans. So were the trade unionists and Catholics and Protestants who opposed the Nazi regime. Then came the Nuremberg Laws, which stripped the Jews of their citizenship and forbade interreligious marriage. Later came the final solution and the Kristallnacht and the rest we know is history. People, including trade unionists, and people from other faiths and occupied countries other than Jews populated and died in those concentration camps. My husband and I are ones with those Protect Religious Freedom signs in our yard. I attend these meetings shoulderto-shoulder with Catholics and Protestants. They all know from history that persecution can start in little ways and spread quickly. Just as the Jews were slowly squeezed out, the Catholic Church and its social services are being squeezed out. It cant happen in America! Blacks have had their churches bombed, as well as Catholics. Jews have had their synagogues destroyed and blood has flowed. Native Americans have been pushed around by treaties. America has its sins. It could certainly happen here. As it goes now, in some countries you can be put to death for having a Bible. Since this is all related to the Affordable Care Act, I never considered being female a pre-existing condition, yet I have received the same quality health care as any man. But, ah yes, the abortion issuewhich is a sacrament in the Democratic Party, as proven by the speakers and the platform of the 2012 convention. Pregnancy is not a disease. Pregnancy is a privilege from God to help bring a precious life to the world. Instead of wiping it away, as your mother could have done to you, Mr. Donaldson, my husband and I are childless and so long for children. Give the child to a couple who so longs for one. That is a positive decision toward a womans own health. The butchery of a child being ripped out of the mothers wombthats an antiquated attitude. Marlene Wrasman Delphos

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

News from the mid-1950s

Old building being razed Work is progressing on the razing of the oldest school structure now in existence in Delphos the St. Marys building at St. Johns which was erected in 1875. (Not entirely correct. The Section 10 School built in 1849 is still standing in Delphos today. R.H.) The work of removing this building is expected to be completed within the next thirty days. When built, this building was used as school for girls while a three-story brick structure, later the German Department, was used for boys. There were then only four classrooms in the St. Marys building. The second floor was know as St. Marys Hall and was used theatrical productions and parish work generally. Later the second floor was also divided into classrooms and for some years, it was used for high school purposes. The building was condemned some years ago, a wall having cracked. Cables were used to make it possible to continue to use it for some years. It is now felt, however, that it is unsafe for further use and it was decided to tear it down. This space will then be used for playgrounds and will also provide additional parking space for Sundays, and other days when parking space is needed. Delphos Herald, April 6, 1955 ........ Junior Livestock Showmanship Planned Here The first Delphos Livestock Showmanship Contest for local 4-H Livestock Club and FFA members will be held on Sunday afternoon, August 7, it was announced today be Norbert Grothouse, general chairman. Four divisions will be included in the contest for the farm youth. They are swine, beef cattle, dairy cattle and sheep. The event will be staged in the Dick Grothouse woods located on the Ft. Jennings Road just south of the A.C.Y. railroad, starting at 3 p.m. Co-sponsoring the contest are the Delphos Chapter Future Farmers of America, the 4-H Livestock Clubs and the Commercial Bank. The bank will provide trophies and ribbons for the winner of each division. Judge for the event will be John Leonard, Van Wert implement dealer and former vocational-agriculture teacher at Van Del High School. Besides Chairman Grothouse, other committee members are John Wellmann and Tom Nomina of the 4-H clubs and Leonard Ebbeskotte, Eugene Haunhorst an Bernard Schwinnen of the FFA Chapter. Delphos Herald, July 20, 1955 ........ Installation of K-C The newly elected officers of Delphos Council, Knights of Columbus were installed at the regular meeting held Monday. Louis Kneuven, of Leipsic, the District Deputy was the installing officer. Those officers installed were the following: Chaplain - Msgr. Carl F. Reineck, Grand Knight - Arnold Luersman, Deputy Grand Knight - Charles Bockey, Chancellor - William Looser, Financial Secretary George Odenweller, Recording Secretary Cletus Hickey, Lecturer - Herman Hemker, Advocate - James Clark, Treasurer James Hemker, Warden - Robert Hall, Inside Guards - Art Jauman and Howard Metzger, Publicity - Rufus Boniface, Youth Activities - Donald Gerdeman, House Emmet Bockey, Frank Fisher and Harold Eggeman, Initiation - Elmer Hemker and Gilbert Pohl, Sick - Charles Bockey, First Ward - Hubert Haverman, Second Ward - Cletus Hickey, Third Ward - Eugene Wagner, Fourth Ward - Cyril Minning, Northwest - Melvin Hempfling, Southwest - Herman Beckman, Northeast - Norman Knippen, Southeast - Ralph Dickrede, Landeck - Frank Wrasman, Fort Jennings Herman Luersman, Ottoville - Ed Luersman, Spencerville - Albert Lammers. Announcement was made that the annual K. of C. picnic will be held Sunday, July 31, at Fishers Grove, south of Delphos. Delphos Herald, July 19, 1955 ........ Sheriff Sale In Partition The following real estate will be offered for sale at Public Auction at Courthouse, Lima, Ohio. Saturday, August 13th, 1955 at 10:30 a.m.: Tract No. 1 - Property located at 207 N. Main St., Delphos, Ohio. Occupied by Betty Jane Shop. Tract No. 2 - Property located at 226 N. Main St., Delphos, Ohio. Occupied by Chateau. Terms of Sale - Cash Delphos Herald, July 26, 1955 ........ New Type Stop Signs The city council went on record Tuesday night favoring the new four-way stop signs. A trial test was voted on and it was decided to make an example of the new system at Main and Suthoff where red, three way stop signs will be erected. A resident of South Main Street attended the Tuesday session and told the members that a number of residents asked if something could be done about the fast driving on this street. Councilmen decide this would be as good as any spot to try out the new system and ordered Safety Director, Edmund Wurst to erect three new red stop signs and to paint lines across this section of street. After this was accomplished, a committee was named to make a survey of other streets needing these stop signs throughout the city. The large city map in the police station gives a good picture of the streets needing signs. Delphos Herald, July 13, 1955 ........ Middle Point To Sell Jail Cells Councilmen took action to sell the jail cells which have not been used for several years. The jail was used when transportation to the county jail was a problem, but Village Marshall Robert Burton reports that when necessary the Van Wert County jail is used for the detention of prisoners. Buyers interested in purchasing the cells should contact the village officials. Delphos Herald, Mar. 9, 1956 ........ Three Shotgun Bearing Farmers Capture Robber Bracey White, 27, of Nashville, Tenn., hijacked just one too many automobiles over the weekend and wound up getting caught by three shotgun bearing farmhands. White started his crime spree in Lima Friday night when he and two accomplices held up a drug store and walked off with guns. He used one gun to hi-jack a cab driven by Frank Adams, 35, of Lima. Adams said he was forced to drive to Beaverdam, but when White told him to drive with one hand and turn over his wallet with the other, the cabbie slowed down and leaped from the car in front of a truck stop. The cab crashed into a tree. White clambered out unhurt, but fled after firing six shots at Adams when the latter showed up with reinforcements - several healthy truckers. The gunman next showed up in Bluffton, where he pressed a gun against farmhand Roger Dossard, 27, and ordered him to drive. Dossard drove, alright - straight home, unbeknownst, of course to White. When he reached home near Findlay, he pulled up, told White, Im too nervous to drive, then ran into a barn, yelling all the way for his father, Meyrel, and his brother,

Window to the Past

Earl. They both appeared at the farmhouse door - shotguns in hand - when they heard White take six shots at their nearest kin. White made an attempt to start the car, then hightailed it into a cornfield. He was caught minutes later by the three men and turned over to Hancock County authorities. Delphos Herald, July 11, 1955 ........ Delphos Newest Industry The Hagen Insulation Company is expected to start operations early next week, according to J.R. Hagen, general manager. The installation of equipment is currently underway at the old Steinle Brewery building on East Second street. Machinery will be located on all floors of the multi-floor structure, totalling about 15,000 square feet of floor space. Mr. Hagen reported that two shifts of five men each will be used to start with as there are a number of orders waiting to be filled. In addition, several truck drivers will also be needed. K-24 is a cellulose wood fiber insulating material applied pneumatically and is packed in 30 pound bags. The pneumatic application machinery used in installing of the K-24 is also manufactured by the Hagen Insulation Co. Inc. Presently it is built in Toledo but there is a possibility that their division will also be moved to Delphos. Delphos Herald, April 7, 1955 ....... Steeple Raising Set For This Afternoon Raising of the copper-clad steeple on the new Trinity Methodist Church being erected at the corner of Third and Washington Streets, is scheduled for this afternoon at 12 oclock noon, the Rev. Clarence Miller, pastor reported today. A crane with a 100 foot boom, was brought to Delphos from Elida today, Robert Miller, contractor, erecting the new $175,000 edifice, reports. After the 22-foot tall steeple with 4 1/2 foot cross are anchored in place, the tower and steeple will have an over-all height of 87 feet, included is the 12 foot height, white belfry. Completion of the new church, which will cover some 9,000 square feet of ground area is scheduled next Feb. The hanging of the 12 pane windows in the educational wing of the dual-purpose structure has been completed, and the pouring of concrete floors in nave, pastors study and educational unit hallway are slated for next week. After the steeple is put in place most of the exterior work on the church, except for the slate roof will be completed. The steeple project was originally scheduled for Oct. 11th, but had to be postponed because of the unavailability of the long boom at that time. The crane is being proved by Rohrbaugh Excavating Co. of Elida. Delphos Herald, Oct. 22, 1955 ...... Read more in next Saturdays Herald.

Berry, Mrs. Lehmon Coil, Minnie Bauer, Mrs. Samuel Roberts, Mrs. E. B. Mauk; Mrs. Oscar Shellbarger, Mrs. W. C. Ruby and Mrs. Harry Woodcock.

IT WAS NEWS THEN

WASHINGTON This time, the imbeciles have won. That was the assessment of French philosopher BernardHenri Levy in his remembrance of U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens. And he wasnt just whistling Freres Jacques. BHL was referring to the fact that Stevens was a great friend of Libya and of the Muslim/Arab world generally. The imbeciles killed perhaps their bravest advocate in the Western world. And, they killed him (perhaps in part) because of the actions of another imbecile in the U.S. One lowlife creates an anti-Islam film that looks like a blend of The Blair Witch Project and Keystone Terrorists, and the unhappy Muslim world goes ballistic. I emphasize the word unhappy because it is no more accurate to condemn the Muslim world for the atrocities of a relative few than it is to indict America because one lowbrow decides to upload a lousy flick that nobody otherwise would watch or even know about. Hey, demonstrators: Anybody can make a movie. It doesnt mean anything. And by the way, anybody can burn a Quran. Or a Bible. Or smear feces on a crucifix. Or ... ad infinitum. We tolerate rudeness because the alternative stateenforced politeness leads to the guillotine. Unfortunately, even we

seem to have lost sight of the nature and causes of these incidents, which have less to do with reasons than with excuses. The demonstrations and attacks more likely are a function of post-revolutionary jockeying among the groups competing for power than they are about American anything. The storming of the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi on the anniversary of 9/11 may have been a planned attack, possibly orchestrated by al-Qaeda and possibly nothing to do with the movie. The extent of our role, alas, has been exaggerated by our own actions. At least two notable missteps should be reminders about the importance of getting it right. For handy reference, check the parenting manual: Do not indulge tantrums. First, the U.S. Embassy in Cairo issued what amounted to an apology to the mobs for any hurt feelings they may have suffered because of the film in question. If you intend to watch it, be sure to take necessary IQ-lowering measures. It is so ridiculous and poorly made, no movie-going American could watch long without succumb-

ing to laughter or ... coma. But then, the Americahating, unhappy Muslim mob isnt familiar with Rotten Tomatoes or even Siskel and Ebert. They watch a homemade movie trailer on their computer and see a nation of haters. How does one deal with this kind of senseless rabidity? Apparently, not through any civilized response such as, Gosh, sorry about that awful film. We dont really believe that. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called the film disgusting and reprehensible. Of course it is, but so what? Besides, I dont think theyre listening. Here on Planet Earth, where being goofy isnt a head-severing offense, one reaches without strain the following observation: The film was idiotic and not worth the attention of our president or secretary of state. The response has made clear that an apology doesnt work, which is why both the White House and the State Department initially distanced themselves from the embassys statement. This is most certainly why Mitt Romney decided to enter the fray, for which he has been variously pilloried and heralded. Put me in the pillory column. His comments condemning President Obamas apologist foreign policy were premature, inappropriate and too politically motivated to be effective either as proper criticism or as a campaign maneuver.

Attempting to clarify, Romneys foreign policy adviser, Rich Williamson, subsequently asserted that events would have been different under a President Romney. Perhaps, but might we use the same powers of extrapolation to infer that 9/11 wouldnt have occurred if George W. Bush hadnt been president? Obama critics have long held that his post-exceptionalist, lead-from-behind model only invites contempt in the Middle East. Since no policy thus far seems to have been very effective, well have to rely on history for more information. On principle, meanwhile, Romney would have been better advised to keep his own counsel pending clarity always the wiser course. What we clearly must not convey to the Muslim world is that either a random, Quran-burning zealot or an anti-Muhammad filmmaker is remotely relevant to our foreign policy. By apologizing and later by Romneys commenting we made events more of an American problem than they were, as The Washington Posts David Ignatius recently noted. And we lent unnecessary gravity and impetus to the conduct of imbeciles. Obviously, they dont need any help. Kathleen Parkers email address is kathleenparker@ washpost.com.

Top-ranked Cavs flex muscles vs. Blue Jays

By JIM METCALFE jmetcalfe@ delphosherald.com COLDWATER Coldwaters football team showed why it is the top-ranked Division V team in the state Friday night at Coldwater Stadium. St. Johns (ranked third in Division VI) was the one that saw it up close and personal on the back end of a 41-6 Midwest Athletic Conference loss. The Cavaliers (4-0, 2-0 MAC) outgained the Jays (2-2, 1-1) 401128, including 178 to 95 on the ground (51 carries versus 25). They beat us up and down the field all night; they beat us on offense, defense and special teams. They are a good team; give them credit, St. Johns coach Todd Schulte noted. They have too much speed; they have it all over the place. You cant do a lot with that. We couldnt get anything going. They are a good football team and they showed it tonight. Cavalier coach Chip Otten couldnt agree more. That is as good a first half as we can play. Our best players are playing great right now and have been, he said. Austin (Bruns) was on target all night. We have a lot of weapons; he doesnt have to just look for one guy but we have five or six guys that can really catch the ball and do something with it. We have depth at running back and our defense was outstanding. We have struggled in the past to run the ball and stop the run against St. Johns; I think we were very motivated tonight. After a 3-and-out on the Blue Jays first possession, Coldwater set to work at its 38. A 39-yard flea-flicker pass from Brody Hoyng to Josh Huber (4 grabs, 67 yards) was the big play in this quick 4-play sequence. At the Jays 8, Bruns (9-of-12 passing, 176 yards; 13 rushes, 81 yards) as always in the shotgun swept left end and got sealing blocks on the corner that opened the door to paydirt. Kyle Bergman made it 7-0 with 8:53 showing in the first. Starting its next series at the 40, the hosts needed four plays again to add to its lead. At the 48, Bruns dropped and threw down the right sideline to Mitch Schoenherr; the receiver separated from the defensive back and hauled in the ball at the 8 en route to a 52-yard scoring pass. Bergman made it 14-0 with 5:47 showing. Another fruitless possession the Jays managed one first down late in the half and 33 total yards against the rock-solid Cavalier defense, the hosts used continued great field position to commence a drive at the 43. Once more, it took four plays to strike. At the Blue Jay 47, Bruns faked the backs into the line and lofted a bomb to an all-alone, wideopen Caleb Siefring (3 catches, 61 yards) down the left sideline; he gobbled the ball in at the 20 and coasted to the end zone. Bergman made it 21-0 with 2:31 left in the first. The next drive was set up by a Hoyng interception, putting Coldwater in business at the Blue Jay 28. Four plays hence at the 11, Bruns dropped and stayed in the pocket, connecting with Siefring in the back of the end zone over the middle. Bergman extended the margin to 28-0 with 10:49 showing in the half. After a 34-yard Hoyng punt return, Coldwater commenced a drive at the St. Johns 33. Five plays later at the 11, Bruns rolled

to his right, came all the way back to his left, kept scrambling and finally found Huber for the TD. Bergman made it 35-0 with 6:10 left in the half. An exchange of punts followed and the Jays finally garnered their first and only first down of the half. However, being forced to punt from the 45, Coldwaters Jordan Chapin blocked Troy Warneckes attempt, setting the Orange and Black up at the Jays 34. Bruns found Brett Collett for 31 and then three plays later (after a 2-yard TD toss was nullified by a holding call), the clock expired as Bergman was true on a 37-yard field goal attempt for a 38-0 lead. Coldwater took the opening drive of the second half a Huber 37-yard kickoff return at the 42 and attained the visitor 23 but the Jays held on downs. Luke MacLennan ran for 58 yards, Tyler Jettinghoff for five to the 14 and then Mark Boggs (4-of-10 passing, 23 yards) dropped from the shotgun and found senior Andrew Metzger for a leaping grab in the right side of the end zone for the six. The conversion kick snap was awry and the 2-pointer failed as the Jays trailed 38-6 with 6:34 left in the third. After forcing a punt, a Hoyng pick put the Cavaliers in business at the Jays 40. Seven plays hence at the 4, Bergman closed the scoring with a 21-yard field goal with 11:11 to go for the final margin. Winning the second half was little consolation for Schulte. We dont accept moral victories here, he added. We have to get back to work (today). I dont know if looking at the film will help or not but we have to get better. Well get back to work. St. Johns hosts Anna Friday, while Coldwater visits Minster.

Jefferspm grinds past Allen East in NWC

By ALEX WOODRING awoodring@delphosherald.com DELPHOS Simple smashmouth football was the difference between Jefferson and Allen East Friday night. Jefferson came out running down the field and never looked back. Totalling 367 rushing yards, the Jefferson running game took control which led them to a 48-0 rout of Allen East in Northwest Conference action at Stadium Park. I thought the guys up front really established the line of scrimmage, said Jefferson head coach Bub Lindeman. I thought they did a fantastic job. Jeffersons first drive started from the Allen East 49 and ended with a touchdown, all done on the ground. This would be the theme for the night as Zavier Buzard ran 23 yards to paydirt and Austin Jettinghoff added the conversion. As Allen East took the field for the first time, quarterback Casey Crow and company looked to answer with a swift drive through the air. The Mustangs moved the ball effectively but the drive stalled on the Jefferson 17 when Crows pass was complete but short as Allen Easts downs expired. Though the Mustangs failed to convert, the defense looked ready to keep Jefferson pinned back with the drive starting on Jeffersons own 6. The feeling was short-lived. The offensive line took control as Buzard ran the length of the field with a 94-yard run, making it 13-0 after a failed 2-point conversion. Hard times continued for the Mustangs after a block-in-theback penalty pinned them back in a drive that ended in a Crow interception. The interception did not amount to anything despite Buzards rushing attempts as the drive ended on a failed fourthdown conversion. The action slowed during the second quarter as Jefferson held tight to the 13-0 lead with both teams exchanging punts. After another Crow interception, the Jefferson O-line buckled down and made way for the running game. As the half came to

After the defense kept Allen East out of the end zone Friday night, Jefferson only needed one play from its 6. With Quinten Wessell and Austin Jettinghoff sealing the left, tailback Zavier Buzard cuts up the middle off an Evan Stant block and zipped through the secondary on his way to a 94-yard touchdown jaunt. The host Wildcats routed the Mustangs 48-0.
a close, Drew Kortokrax rushed for a 26-yard touchdown, making it 20-0 after a successful extra point with six seconds left in the first half. After Allen East ran out the half, both teams headed to the locker room. Looking to rally on their first drive of the second half, Allen East took to the ground game which proved to be unsuccessful. Jefferson, on the other hand, had its rushing attack prove to be the dominant force yet again. Starting on its own 14, they ran down the field care of the 1-2 punch of the speedy Buzard and the bulldozing Quinten Wessell, making it 27-0 on Buzards 30-yard scoring run with 9:31 left in the third and the conversion kick being true. The next drive found Allen East dropping a lateral pass. The Wildcats recovered, only to have a mishap of their own as quarterback Jeffinghoff was hit from behind, forcing the ball out with an Allen East recovery. The mishaps continued, however, as the Allen East snap was sent high, giving Jefferson great field possession on the Mustang 10. Wessell made it look easy and after two rushes, bulled his way into the end zone, making it 34-0 with 3:57 left in the third quarter. After a 4-and-out by Allen East, Jefferson took control on the Allen East 42. Jefferson put together another run-up-the-middle drive as Wessell and Buzard put their heads down and plowed through the Allen East defensive line. It was Buzard who sealed the deal, taking it in for a 9-yard rush, making it 41-0 early in the fourth quarter. Following a Mustang punt, Jefferson looked to put finishing touches as both squads put in the second string. This time, Aaron PArkins had the honors of taking the pigskin down the field and scoring from five yards out, making it 48-0. As he ran it into the end zone with only 1:22 left, the fat lady starting warming up. With their last drive, the Mustangs ran out the clock, giving the Wildcats the victory and pushing them to 4-0 (3-0 NWC), with Allen East remaining winless on the season at 0-4 (0-3 NWC). As both teams left the field, Coach Lindeman reflected on the defenses hard work. Defense played well and left a goose egg up there [the scoreboard] and they bent but didnt break, said Lindeman. Hats off to the defense; I thought they played really well. We got back to old Jefferson football; line them up and run at them. Im happy with the kids efforts. Im glad we are 4-0. That is a goal they set and they met it. Im really proud of their effort. Jefferson visits Lima Central Catholic Friday, while Allen East hosts Crestview.

OHIO DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES Division of Wildlife Weekly Fish Ohio Fishing Report! CENTRAL OHIO Olentangy River (Delaware/ Franklin counties) - Smallmouth and rock bass are two fish species that give a lot of action to anglers here. Good angling can be found from High Banks Metro Park to the Delaware Lake dam; try spinners and crankbaits that mimic crawfish around rocks and other cover. Other sport fish present include crappie, saugeye, carp and channel catfish. Kiser Lake (Champaign County) - This 394-acre lake is perfect for a quiet day on the water since no motors are allowed, gas or electric. It has a good population of largemouth bass; try plastics, top-water baits and crankbaits along the lily pads or cover on the north side. Crappies will become more active as the water cools; fish with minnows in the old creek channel or around woody cover. Bluegill are also being taken around aquatic vegetation and cover using wax and red worms. NORTHWEST OHIO Ottawa Reservoir (Putnam County) - This 20-acre site is located near the Putnam County Fairgrounds on South Agner Street. Bluegill should be biting right now; try wax worms under a slip bobber set to 4-6 feet, especially in the mornings. Boats are allowed but are restricted to electric motors only. There is no boat ramp, so only small boats which can be carried may be used. Maumee River (Defiance County) - Walleye, crappie and smallmouth have been biting below the Independence Dam. The dam can be accessed from Independence Dam State Park, off of SR 424; try beetle spins (white or chartreuse) or inline spinners. Most of the walleye being caught are around 18 inches in length. Shelby Reservoir #3 (Richland County) - Located northeast of the city of Shelby on London West Road, the entrance is about a half mile east of SR 61. Bluegill fishing should be very good right now with a lot measuring 6-9 inches; try jigs tipped with wax worms or artificial bait under a slip bobber in 6-10 feet of water. Fishing is permitted daily between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. Good populations of yellow perch, walleye and channel catfish can also be found. There is a concrete boat ramp and boaters can launch boats of any size. Gasoline motors are prohibited on the reservoir, however. NORTHEAST OHIO Leesville Reservoir (Carroll County) - The native muskellunge, also known as the muskie or the fish of a thousand casts, is very sought after for its huge size, unpredictable nature and difficulty to catch. For anglers at this 1,045-acre site located off of SR 212, muskie fishing is the route to take. Anglers casting spinners and crank baits for bass find that 18- to 30-inch muskies often end up on the end of the line; anglers who do not plan on keeping them should wet their hands and gently release the fish immediately. If you catch a muskie 36-plus inches, dont forget to apply for a Fish Ohio award at www. FishOhio.org (the fish need not be kept to be awarded and photos are not required for documentation). Shreve Lake (Wayne County) Channel catfish are keeping anglers reels buzzing all over northeast Ohio right now; here is no exception. Although this body of water is small (60 acres), shoreline access and catfish are abundant. Channel cats have been stocked in good numbers during even-numbered years. The lake is located 1 mile west of Shreve, north of SR 226. A boat launching ramp is accessible from TWP Road 316 on the southeast corner (electric motors only please); a fishing pier, designed for people with disabilities, is located near the ramp. SOUTHEAST OHIO Salt Fork Lake (Guernsey County) - This 2,952-acre site is located 6 miles east of I-77 off US 22 near Cambridge. Family fun, including camping, abounds at Salt Fork State Park. Crappies are the species to catch now with small jigs usually the preferred bait; crappies will, however, take a variety, including worms, grubs, crickets, small spinners and popping bugs. Boat fishermen are most successful and boats can be rented from the lake marina. For the dedicated catfisherman, channel cats can be caught at night on nightcrawlers or chicken liver fished on the bottom. Top-water action for largemouth bass is starting to pick up with the cooler temperatures; use the twitch-and-wait method-cast the plugs, let it lie on top of the water and occasionally twitch the bait. Lake Logan (Hocking County) - Located in the scenic Hocking Hills area just 2 miles southwest of Logan on SR 664, this 341-acre lake offers exciting fishing moments. Largemouth bass may be caught in the early evening on a variety of top-water plugs, flies, crayfish or plastic worms. Saugeye fishing is beginning to pick up and opportunities should steadily improve as water temperatures drop; the area near the beach in the early evening is best for saugeye. Use leeches, worms, or artificial worms to catch one of these tasty fish. Timbre Ridge Lake (Lawrence County) - The Ironton District of the U.S. Forest Service, Wayne National Forest, is home to this 100-acre lake located 1 mile south of Lecta on CR 37. Largemouth bass fishing is popular this time of year; use black plastic worms or black and chrome crankbaits. Use wax worms to catch a mess of nicesized bluegill. SOUTHWEST OHIO Adams Lake (Adams County) Bluegill have been biting recently around rip-rap shorelines, and along

the edges of lily pads; try small jigs tipped with wax worms fished just 1-2 feet under a small bobber. Acton Lake (Preble County) Channel catfish are biting on creek chubs or nightcrawlers fished along the bottom or between 8-19 feet deep during the late evening or early morning. Fishing for channel catfish is productive anywhere. Bluegills are being caught using wax worms or nightcrawlers; fishing is bountiful along the banks. Saugeye are active here; currently, they are being caught using nightcrawlers, bass minnows or jigs trolling it through in water that is 8-10 feet deep. Eastwood Lake (Montgomery County) - Night fishing is very productive for channel catfish in this Dayton Five Rivers Metro Park; use shrimp, chicken livers and nightcrawlers fished along the bottom. Note that night fishing is currently allowed from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. on Friday and Saturday nights through the end of September. Anglers should visit the web site at http:// www.metroparks.org/GetOutside/ Fishing.aspx or call (937) 275PARK for more information. OHIO RIVER Clermont County - Smallmouth bass fishing will begin to pick up as temperatures decrease and water levels increase; anglers interested have done well casting into areas of current, especially rocky areas using a variety of artificial baits or minnows. Anglers have been catching 12- to 15-inch channel catfish by tight-lining off the shore using a hook and sinker baited with cut bait or nightcrawlers. Racine Dam Tail Waters Hybrid-striped and white bass have been biting well and are providing some excellent opportunities; try spoons and live skipjack throughout. Anglers have reported catching catfish on skipjack in other areas throughout the river, so dont be surprised if you catch one here. Small skipjacks in the 4- to 9-inch range have been hitting fairly consistently on small, multiple hook rigs. Remember if you have an Ohio fishing license, then you can have no more than three hooks per line, so you may have to modify your rig to be in compliance. LAKE ERIE Daily Bag Limit (per person) Regulations to Remember: Walleye (Ohio waters of Lake Erie) - 6 fish (minimum size limit is 15 inches); Yellow perch (Ohio waters of Lake Erie) - 30; Trout/Salmon - 2 through May 15 (minimum size is 12); Black bass (largemouth and smallmouth bass) - 5 (minimum size 14). Western Basin: Walleye fishing has slowed and there have been fewer reports over the past week. The best fishing was still from West Sister to Rattlesnake islands; trollers have been using divers with spoons or crankbaits off of planer boards. ... Yellow perch fishing has been good, with the best spots being the turnaround buoy of the Toledo shipping channel, N and E of the Toledo water intake, West Sister Island, N of B can of the Camp Perry firing range, W of Green and Rattlesnake islands, E of Kelleys Island and its shoal; perch-spreaders with shiners fished near the bottom produce the most. Central Basin: Excellent walleye fishing continues in 66-70 feet of water NE of Ashtabula and in 70 NE of Conneaut; trollers are using wire-line off planer boards and dipsy divers, with purple, black, red, green, orange and brown spoons and stick baits. ... Yellow perch fishing has been good E of the Huron River channel buoys, N of the Vermilion River and in 38 N of Beaver Creek. Farther east, fishing continues to be excellent with many limit catches, particularly in 38 N of Rocky River, in 38-40 N of Gordon Park, in 46-52 NW of Fairport Harbor (the hump) and in 50-55 N of Ashtabula and of Conneaut; perch-spreaders with shiners fished near the bottom produce the most. The best shore fishing spots to try are the Cleveland Piers and at Headlands Beach Pier in Mentor and the Fairport Harbor Pier using spreaders with shiners; mornings and evenings have been best. ... Smallmouth bass fishing continues to be very good in 15to 23-foot depths around harbor areas in Cleveland, Fairport Harbor, Geneva, Ashtabula and Conneaut; this past week, anglers are having good luck using crayfish, drop-shot rigs and tube jigs. ... White bass has been spotty but can pick up at any time; try near shore in 15-30 N of Cleveland Harbor, NE of Gordon Park (Bratenahl) and in 10-20 N of Eastlake CEI. Look for gulls feeding on schools of shiners at the surface; the white bass will be below. Shore anglers are catching bass off the Eastlake CEI breakwall using agitators with jigs tipped with twister tails or using small spoons. ... Steelhead trout anglers are catching a few fish while trolling for walleye off Ashtabula; some large ones have been caught. See locations for walleye above. The water temperature is 69 degrees off of Toledo and 73 degrees off of Cleveland, according to the nearshore marine forecast. Anglers are encouraged to always wear a U.S. Coast Guardapproved personal flotation device while boating.

Jeff Gordon rejuvenated heading into Chase

By ANDREW SELIGMAN The Associated Press CHICAGO The infamous mustache is making a comeback and Jeff Gordon believes he is, too. The 4-time NASCAR champion grabbed the final spot in the Chase for the Sprint Cup Championship away from Kyle Busch with a vintage performance last week. He will try to end his long Drive for Five, starting Sunday at Chicagoland Speedway. Its fair to say hes feeling just a little rejuvenated. This is the defining moment for me at this stage of my career, Gordon said. Not making this Chase could have had devastating results. Hes in because of a dramatic performance at Richmond. Gordon came in trailing Busch by 12 points and beat him by three, making major adjustments to his Chevrolet throughout and coming on strong after falling a lap behind to finish second in a race hampered by rain. Now, the question is: At age 41 and 11 years removed from his last championship, can he string together 10 strong races to capture title No. 5? If nothing else, hes showing hes a man of his word. Gordon had vowed to bring back the mustache he sported at the start of his NASCAR career if he made the Chase and his facial hair is once again the talk of the sport. He had a salt-and-pepper 5 oclock shadow, the early makings of a beard, on Wednesday. He insisted it will be a mustache by the weekend. My wife started all this because she reminded me and Twitterville of the commitment I had made a month or month and a half ago, Gordon recalled. I meant it when I said it and I hoped that we would be in this position, be in the Chase and sporting the stache. So here we go. Get ready. Gordon couldnt remember exactly what led to the vow to bring back the mustache, widely ridiculed after its debut when he was a 21-year-old Sprint Cup Series rookie. Other drivers had some tips for Gordon. You cant leave out the mullet, too, said 5-time champion and Hendrick Motorsports teammate Jimmie Johnson. Ive seen some discussion on the old trucker hats but Im just impressed. ... Hes doing it gray and all, so Im proud of him. Hes a lot older now, so I think his mustache is going to be more defined. And he might not be so porn stacheish. There might be a bit more of Tom Selleck or something along those lines. Defending champion Tony Stewart joked, Hes got to bring back the eyebrows, too, to match it. Its got to be a matched set. He had that big stache but if you dont have the eyebrows, its not going to look right. Its fun for Jeff and it will be for his fans too. Those fans will really be loving it if he pulls off the title. At this time last year, Stewart defied his own expectations. He won at Chicagoland after stumbling into the Chase and won five of the 10 races, including the season finale, to tie Carl Edwards for the championship and take the title on the tie-breaker. Can Gordon be this years Stewart, the guy that gets hot at just the right time even if he is admittedly past his prime? He might have won at Atlanta this month but instead of knocking winner Denny Hamlin out of his way, he drifted up the banking and allowed him to pull away. Gordon second-guessed himself for that and looked like he was in trouble last week before making his push. He figured he had nothing to lose midway through Saturday nights race at Richmond, so why not make some wholesale,
10 victories in 14 races. Chevy has already beaten Honda and Lotus for the manufacturer title and will celebrate a driver championship tonight with either Penske Racings Will Power or Andretti Autosports Ryan Hunter-Reay. Even so, IndyCar still has major ailments and issues that threaten its long-term stability. One of the biggest problems the series is facing is horrific television ratings. Despite the strong product, a brutal television package has made IndyCar the best-kept secret in racing. Locked into a long deal that puts the bulk of the races on NBC Sports, drivers have been outspoken all year

huge changes to the No. 24 Chevy? To me, its classic when I think of (Dale) Earnhardt Sr., Gordon added. He would start the race. Youd lap him. By the end of the race, theyre winning or coming after you for the win. To me, thats sometimes the box that you put yourself in that can be more beneficial. What weve learned from that is weve got to go out every weekend for these next 10 weeks and be fully committed to pursuing winning. ... Weve got to absolutely go after it. Stenhouse to drive No. 17 Cup car in 2013 JOLIET, Ill. Ricky Stenhouse Jr. will drive Roush Fenway Racings No. 17 Ford next year on the Sprint Cup circuit. Stenhouse, last years Nationwide champion, replaces Matt Kenseth in the No. 17. Kenseth is moving to Joe Gibbs Racing. Best Buy, Fifth Third Bank and Zest are all returning to the team as primary sponsors in 2013 and each will increase commitment for Stenhouses Cup entry. Co-owner Jack Roush says the No. 17 is a good fit for Stenhouse and hell be flanked by a championshiplevel team from the beginning. It wasnt clear until Friday whether Stenhouse would drive the No. 17 vacated by Kenseth, or possibly Roushs flagship No. 6. IndyCar had good year but still has big challenges

in blaming the network for doing a poor job of promoting the series. NBC does a pretty crappy job of promotion and the broadcast is OK but the booth needs a major shake-up, Scott Dixon said. You understand why NASCAR has such a big following, they have such a big television presence and its promoted very well. They have sideshows and while the racing may not be a better product, they do a good job of promoting it and putting it out there. So much these days for sponsors is based on ratings and unfortunately, we dont have them right now in IndyCar. I think this sport could have a following, whether you wait the six years for the contract to run out, or you do something about it well, were kind of getting to the point where we have to do something about it. Off the track, the backroom politics and fighting between team owners and Bernard consistently hurts IndyCars efforts to grow. Bernard tweeted two days after the Indianapolis 500 that an owner was actively trying to have him fired and theres persistent talk throughout the paddock of an owner-led coup to have Bernard ousted at the end of the season. Andretti was named in May as one of the owners allegedly involved in the plot, which he has repeatedly denied. Still, his review of Bernards 3-year tenure isnt exactly glowing. Randys got a tough job. I wouldnt want it, Andretti said. Is he doing great? Im not sure hes doing great. Is he doing bad? I dont think hes doing bad. I think hes doing a good job with what hes been having to work with. Bernard was faced with scheduling issues this season, as the Las Vegas finale was canceled after Wheldons death and promoters of an August race in China pulled the plug on the event. Although he promised several times to release the 2013 schedule in early September and hes been adamant he wants between 17 and 19 races he has since retracted and said hell have

FONTANA, Calif. This season was long ago earmarked as the pivotal year for IndyCar to begin the long climb back into relevance. The series succeeded in some ways, overcoming the death of Dan Wheldon in last years finale and making the adjustments needed to produce an on-track product some believe is the best in racing. There were seven different winners, competition all the way down the grid and IndyCar heads into the finale tonight at Auto Club Speedway ready to crown a first-time champion. Great comeback, outstanding comeback, especially the way we finished last year, said Helio Castroneves, who celebrated his season-opening win at St. Petersburg by touching the street sign named for Wheldon in his trademark fence climb. We never forgot what happened but we took the right measurements to address the issues we had, and big props for the entire series and all the drivers for working so hard together to make the best racing weve ever had in IndyCar. Improving the racing was one of CEO Randy Bernards major goals for this season, which marked the debut of the first new IndyCar in nine years. The car was created with an emphasis on improved safety, upgraded technology and more competitive racing. The series also welcomed multiple engine manufacturers for the first time since 2005; Chevrolet marked its return to IndyCar with

nothing to announce until after his meeting next week with the IndyCar board of directors. He still has to make a decision on the use of aerokits next year he promised them, fans want them and owners are unanimously opposed. Bernard also might have a battle coming up with engine manufacturer Lotus, which had a humiliating first season in IndyCar and apparently wants to leave the series despite a long-term contract. And on the track, drivers want Bernard to clean up some issues ranging from the drivers desire for additional horsepower and a complaint about a lack of consistency from first-year race director Beaux Barfield. Although Barfields addition rectified the lack of trust that had grown between the paddock and former race director Brian Barnhart, not all of his calls or non-calls have been applauded. Mike Conway asks out of IndyCar race at Fontana: Mike Conway dropped out of tonights race Thursday, saying he is not comfortable racing on oval tracks. The British driver said he had asked A.J. Foyt Racing to sit out. He will be replaced by Wade Cunningham. Conway suffered serious leg and back injuries in a 2010 crash at Indianapolis and wrecked there again in this years race. Im truly sorry for putting the team and our sponsors in a difficult position but this is the hardest decision I have ever made in my racing career, Conway wrote in a statement. Ive come to realize Im not comfortable on the ovals and no longer wish to compete on them. I want to stress that I am not finished racing and to this end, I would love to continue with Foyt Racing, but thats something we need to discuss in the future. There has been a general uneasiness in IndyCar about racing on fast and high-banked ovals since Wheldons death. Drivers fretted for months about the compatibility of the car on some of the ovals and took a hands-on approach to helping the series decide on the aerodynamic package used at Texas in June. The Texas race was the first high-banked oval for IndyCar since Wheldons death and drivers were relieved when the approved configuration produced a safe and exciting race. Its helped alleviate the tension headed into Auto Club Speedway, which is a fast, wide oval. Many teams participated in Wednesdays 8-hour test session at the track and drivers seemed much more at ease in large part to a formula that uses less downforce and prohibits drivers from being wideopen all around the track. The setup makes the cars harder to drive and puts the emphasis back on skill. Team director Larry Foyt said the organization admired Conways decision to come forward with his concerns.

Heart transplant veteran raises awareness for toddler

BY ALEX WOODRING awoodring@delphosherald.com DELPHOS There was a slight drizzle behind The Creamery as Braden Knebel hopped and danced from puddle to puddle. Anyone passing by would have little to suspect that the energetic boy playing behind the ice cream shop was in need of a heart transplant. Braden Knebel has been diagnosed with restrictive cardiomyopathy, of which there is no cure. The only thing that can help Braden a new heart. As Bob Grothouse arrived with his girlfriend, daughter and granddaughter, there was little reason to suspect that Grothouse was a recipient of heart transplant and that 15 years ago, was in a similar situation as Bradens. After hearing of Bradens plight, Grothouse felt called to help. Grothouse donated an unspecified amount to help out with the expenses that go with Bradens condition. I know insurance covers a lot of stuff but you have a lot of expenses from running back and forth to the doctors, said Grothouse. Then you have overnights in the hospital and such. It adds up. Bradens mom, Michelle (Carder) Knebel, gratefully accepted Grothouses donation. It means the world to me that somebody would reach out like this, said Mrs. Knebel. Braden, who was born Dec. 7, 2009, was diagnosed while still in the womb. In his first six weeks of life he underwent two heart surgeries. When he was three months old, he had gtube/ nissen fundiplication surgery. He had his third heart surgery on Jan. 11, 2011. I hope that people see me out and about 15 years after my transplant and they realize they could help this little fellow, said Grothouse. I

Dear Annie: When can we stop giving our children money? When is enough enough? My daughter and her husband are in their mid30s. They bought a house they could not afford. On top of that, they are in the middle of filing for bankruptcy, as they have been overspending for years. My daughter works two jobs that provide neither a consistent paycheck nor benefits. Her husbands job is more stable, but his salary is low. At one point, we gave her one of our u s e d cars, which she was able to k e e p running for a c o u p l e Annies Mailbox of years. When that car died, I took money out of my retirement fund to buy her a used car. My son-in-laws mother just bought them a new oven. My question is: When does all this stop? I worked for 30 years and never once asked my mother for money. Im tired of doing and doing for them. At what point can a parent stop taking on the problems of their children? -- Resenting Parent Dear Parent: Whenever you are willing to let them sink or swim on their own. When an adult child is having temporary financial difficulties, it is a kindness for a parent to offer to help, provided the parent can afford it and the child uses the assistance to get out from under. But if a parent is constantly bailing out an irresponsible spendthrift, the handouts must stop before parents become impoverished and resentful in a misguided attempt to save their children. And these children never learn to stand on their own two feet. Consider whether you are helping or simply prolonging your daughters financial dependence, and act accordingly. Dear Annie: I read the letter from Wigged Out, who has a condition that makes her hair fall out. People constantly ask about her perfect hair, and some attempt to pull at her wig. I have thin hair and wear a weave method called a cap, done by a local hairdresser. Its a process of braiding or molding ones hair and putting a stocking cap or mesh on the hair (this allows the hair to breathe). Then the woven hair is sewn or glued on top. It allows you to wear your hair however you want -- long, medium or short -- and is not noticeably different from regular hair. Hope this helps. -- F. Dear F.: Readers offered many suggestions. Here are more: From Boston: I, too, take medication that contributes to hair loss. My husband encouraged me to order some beautiful synthetic wigs, which I have worn for years. At one event, a woman said she wished her hair could always look as nice as mine. I replied, It can, and lifted off my wig. It turned the party upside down, and everyone had a ball trying on my wig and getting info. A wig is no different from a hat, scarf or barrette. It is an accessory to enhance the beauty of the head. Wisconsin: She should consider hair extensions or a hairpiece that is bonded to her scalp and stays on for weeks at a time. Either of these would be more natural looking and cooler than a wig. I have been wearing lightweight bonded hairpieces for 10 years. I can swim, play golf, exercise, sleep and anything else without removing my hair. No one can tell, and I am never wigged out. Florida: Some people cant stand it if they dont know absolutely everything about you. I wear hearing aids, but I was sensitive about them, even though my hair did a nice job of covering them up. One friend took it upon herself to reach up and pull my hair back so she could see for herself whether I had hearing aids. I resisted the urge to slap her, but have avoided her ever since. I do not consider a person a friend if she does such a thing.

Tomorrows Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol
SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 2012 Your intuition about commercial or career matters might be rather remarkable in the year ahead. When you get a hunch about something that could be important, do not simply dismiss it as wishful thinking. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -You should check things out before volunteering to do something that could be costly if it isnt handled properly. If youre not the right person for the job, leave it to others. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Just because your mate is a faster thinker than you are, doesnt necessarily mean that his or her judgment is better or even correct. Double- check on things before taking action. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -If you know for a fact that this isnt a good day to work on tasks that require deep concentration and a lot of patience, postpone taking action until another time. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Be extremely careful not to hurt a friends feelings by inadvertently making it obvious that you would rather be elsewhere. Such behavior would jeopardize the relationship. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Try not to do things in fits and starts, because such behavior is not likely to fulfill what youd like to accomplish. You must have continuity of purpose to succeed. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- If you possess some kind of confidential information that a friend of yours is anxious to attain, be extra careful not to carelessly fold under your pals clever questioning. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -Because a great number of burdens are likely to be dumped in your lap, it might be hard for you to feel friendly toward a co-worker who makes an early exit. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -Be careful about making a decision under pressure, because your judgment might not be too sharp right now. Dont allow yourself to respond before thinking things through. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Applying proper procedures is extremely important if you are working on a complex assignment. If youre not careful, you could easily put the cart before the horse. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may have to change some long-anticipated social plans at the last minute. Dont let your disappointment spoil things for the others involved. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- An objective youve established could turn out to be an ordeal instead of the instantaneous achievement you had expected. Dont be discouraged if your efforts arent initially successful. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Although youre usually a careful person who thinks things through before acting on anything, you could become intrigued by a harebrained idea and act without knowing what its all about. MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 2012 Because things look so good where your work or career is concerned, your material prospects in the year ahead look exceptionally encouraging. A raise, as well as some special perks, could be in the offing. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Youre entering a cycle in which many of your past efforts will finally be recognized, especially your more relevant successes. You may have been overlooked, but not forgotten. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Something far removed from your present interests is stirring on your behalf. Evidence pertaining to these developments will be manifesting soon. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -Joint ventures are usually predicated upon equal contribution. However, to your great luck, youll be invited to participate in something promising that requires only minimal input. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Normally, its best to always think for yourself, but if you feel in need of anothers leadership, go to a friend who is as lucky as he or she is wise. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You know what you want, and for that very reason youre likely to be a bit more ambitious than usual. The chances of getting exactly what you go after are excellent. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- An inclination to take a calculated risk could be rather pronounced. This could work to your advantage, provided youre somewhat knowledgeable about your hunch. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- You have the capabilities to make the most of your opportunities when you believe in yourself. Dont be discouraged by advisers who think youre a bad bet. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -If someone with a good track record invites you to join a deal, give it serious consideration. You could be especially lucky with partnership arrangements. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -Being of special service to others is likely to be the principal reason for the large reward youll likely reap. Compensation will automatically be there. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Enterprises that you personally manage are slated to end up in the winners circle. Your work will speak for itself, and just rewards will follow. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Proper timing will be your ace in the hole, so let important matters proceed at their own pace. You wont gain a thing by trying to put the pedal to the metal. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- There is much justification for your hopes and expectations to be running high at this point in time. Youll sense that Lady Luck is looking to open many windows of opportunity for you.
