DELPHOS According to a
recent Automobile Association of
America (AAA) Foundation for
Traffic Safety study completed earlier this year, seniors age 65 and
older make up the fastest-growing
age group in the United States and 86
percent of them still drive.
Today, more senior drivers are
aware of the physical, cognitive and
visual impairments advanced age
brings affecting their driving abilities and to alleviate risks, they travel
fewer miles and avoid night driving
or any other challenging situations as
they get older.
In conjunction with the American

Occupational Therapy Associations
Older Driver Safety Awareness week
Dec. 1-5, AAA released its Older
American Drivers and Traffic Safety
Culture report which specifically
found:
More than seven out of 10 drivers age 65 and older favor policies
that require drivers age 75 and older
to renew their license in person;
Nearly 80 percent of drivers age
75 and older favor medical screenings
for drivers in this age group;
About 90 percent of drivers age
65 and older reported no moving
violations or crashes in the last two
years; and
65 percent of drivers age 75
and older reported never using a cell
phone while driving, compared to 48

percent of drivers ages 65-69.
Delphos Police Chief Kyle Fittro
reported of the 121 traffic crashes in
the city limits in 2013, only eight (6
percent) of the crashes were caused
by drivers aged 65 or older. He said
the youngest was 66 years old and the
oldest was 85 years old.
We had four drivers over the age
of 65 cited for non-traffic crashes and
the oldest of those drivers were 89
years old, Fittro said.
Older adult driving skills vary
widely at all age levels and for different reasons. Some states require
specific rules for older drivers to help
identify those who shouldnt be driving or should have restricted licenses.
In Ohio, there are no specific rules
for senior drivers who are required

take a vision test when renewing
their license every four years. A written test or road test may be required
if the Bureau of Motor Vehicles has
good cause to believe that the driver
is incompetent or incapable of safely
operating a vehicle. Good cause may
be considered if a request for recertification is received from a law
enforcement agency or court, medical
personnel, a relative, friend, neighbor, or other community member.
In between license renewals, a lot
can change for a senior driver and
family members should be aware of
the signs pointing to a physical or
mental impairment.

Michael Browns stepdad

investigated for comments
ST. LOUIS (AP) Police are investigating Michael
Browns stepfather for angry comments on the streets of
Ferguson after a grand jury decided not to indict the police
officer who fatally shot his stepson, a spokesman said Tuesday.
Officials are looking into Louis Heads comments as part of
a broader investigation into the arson, vandalism and looting
that followed the Nov. 24 grand jury announcement, St. Louis
County Police spokesman Brian Schellman said. Twelve commercial buildings were destroyed by fire.
Brown, 18, who was black and unarmed, was killed Aug. 9
by Darren Wilson, who is white. Wilson, who resigned from
the Ferguson department last weekend, had told the grand jury
his life was being threatened, but some witnesses said Brown
was trying to surrender.
Video widely circulated after last weeks grand jury
announcement shows Browns mother, Lesley McSpadden, on
top of a car and breaking down as the decision blares over a
stereo. Head, her husband, comforts her then yells angry comments, including Burn this bitch down!
Family attorney Benjamin Crump has called the reaction
raw emotion, but completely inappropriate. He did not
immediately return messages seeking comment Tuesday.
Head has not yet been interviewed by police, and there
is no timetable for when the investigation will be complete,
Schellman said. He declined to discuss what specific charges
Head could face. A message left with a spokesman for St.
Louis County Prosecutor Bob McCulloch was not immediately
returned.
Ferguson police spokesman Jeff Small said that department
is not conducting a separate investigation of Head.

STATE/LOCAL
Deer-gun season opens

Property owners urged to
with 17,500 deer harvested
contact ODOT prior to any type
of work along state highways
LIMA Putting up a mailbox,
installing a drainage pipe beneath a
driveway or cleaning out a ditch are all
normal activities property owners routinely undertake. But if done improperly
and without the permission of the Ohio
Department of Transportation, serious
legal ramifications could result.
We are urging property owners to
contact us before they do any type of
work along a state highway.
Its much better to work with
us ahead of a project rather
than create a problem in the
end which requires reversal, said Kirk Slusher, Ohio
Department of Transportation
District 1 deputy director.
The following are the most
common kinds of activities
which can sometimes conflict with state
requirements:
Mailboxes mailboxes can be a
roadside hazard if guidelines for mailbox placement and type are not adhered
to. Visit the United States Postal Service
for guidance at: www.usps.com/manage/mailboxes.htm.
Ditch cleaning Before performing

any work in or along a ditch, check with
the local ODOT garage to ensure the
waterway is not located within highway
right of way. Strict environmental regulations must be followed when working
within a state-controlled waterway. A
permit is required prior to this type of
work taking place.
Snow removal Snow removed from
a private driveway and placed onto a
highway is in violation of Ohio Revised
Code. Placing anything on the
highway could be dangerous
to motorists in that they may
hit these obstructions and lose
control of their vehicle. The
offense is considered a firstdegree misdemeanor and carries a maximum penalty of six
months in jail and a $1,000
fine.
Farming Property owners should
know where highway right of way
begins in relation to a farm field. Its
easy to unknowingly creep over the line
when working fields, which can lead to
maintenance issues for highway personnel. Consult the local ODOT garage to
establish boundaries.
Drainage ODOT personnel can provide guidance on the proper placement

and size of pipe along farm fields, lawns
and under driveways. A permit is required
before this type of work can take place.
Signage It is illegal to place anything within highway right of way without permission of ODOT. Signs placed
within highway right of way that obstruct
the view of motorists will be removed.
As a general rule, anything placed behind
utility poles is outside of highway right of
way; however, permission from private
property owners should be received prior
to placing any sign.
We are a resource for property owners at any time. If work is being performed along a state highway or theres
any question as to what is permissible, contact ODOT before to be sure
the project is not in violation of state
requirements, Slusher said.
For information regarding permits
contact Duane Hackworth, ODOT
District 1, at 419-999-6843; duane.hackworth@dot.state.oh.us.
Or, visit the District 1 permits website at: www.dot.state.oh.us/districts/

weekend
COLUMBUS (AP)
The State Highway Patrol
says 19 people died in crashes around Ohio during the
Thanksgiving holiday period.
The preliminary total covering last Wednesday through
Sunday is up from comparable periods during the past

were killed around the holiday in 2013 and in 2011, and
a dozen died in 2012.
The patrol says four of
the 19 people who died
were pedestrians. Five were
involved in crashes related to
someone operating a vehicle
under the influence of drugs
or alcohol.
Troopers say they stopped
more than 440 drivers for
OVI. About 1,300 people
were cited for not wearing
seat belts, and about 650
were cited for aggressive
driving.

COLUMBUS - Hunters checked 17,512 white-tailed deer

on Monday, the opening day of Ohios deer-gun hunting season, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources
(ODNR).
New for the 2014 deer hunting season, rifles using specified straight-walled cartridges can be used. Gun hunters took
advantage of the new opportunity on Monday, checking in
1,805 deer with straight-walled cartridge rifles.
Counties reporting the highest numbers of deer checked in on Monday
include: Coshocton (793), Tuscarawas
(667), Muskingum (652), Ashtabula
(586), Knox (573), Guernsey (512),

Ohios deer-gun season remains
open through Sunday. Find more information about deer hunting in the Ohio 2014-15 Hunting and
Trapping Regulations or at wildohio.gov. An updated deer
harvest report is posted online each Wednesday.
Art exhibit An Introduction to

Appaloosa Genetics to open
INFORMATION
SUBMITTED
COLUMBUS How
can science and art connect?
Through this intriguing and
illuminating exhibition, the
viewer will be guided through
the role research plays in
the art of creation. The artist Ashley Shellhause took
her three main interests art,
horses and genetics and
combined them to create an
exhibition that allows viewers of all ages to connect with
her work. It also provides an
introduction to genetics of the
Appaloosa horse through art.
Curated by Michael May, a
faculty member at Columbus
College of Art and Design and
Ohio Art League member.
The idea for this series
of paintings began as I was
searching for a way to make
abstract art more accessible to
a wide audience. My solution
was to use my paintings as
maps, Shellhause explained.
My hope is that everyone
who walks through this exhibit
will connect with the work in
some way. It could be through
viewing and appreciating the
art itself, or through reading and learning more about
genetics and horses.
The public is invited to
attend the opening reception
at no charge from 5-7 p.m.
Dec. 11 at the Concourse
Gallery in Upper Arlington.
The Concourse Gallery is
open 8 a.m.5 p.m. Monday
though Friday.

Monday morning and another rainy

day here. Such a change from the snow
and cold weather we had a week ago.
The house is almost too warm now with
the coal stove going. We have some windows open and the stove turned down so
its not too bad.
Im writing this column earlier in
the week because of the upcoming
holiday. This week will go fast with
Thanksgiving Day on Thursday.
Brother Albert and Sarah Irene have
the family gathering on that day. With
all the weddings in the family this year
they had a hard time finding a date.
This is actually a late 2013 Christmas
gathering. Sister Liz and Levi will host
the 2014 Christmas gathering but they
will probably have it next year sometime. Every year the family gets bigger,
so some want the gathering during the
warmer months. I miss the years when
my parents were still here and would
have all of us children and grandchildren
home on New Years Day. Some of us
would go the night before and spend the
night there. Mom would always have a
big breakfast for all of us. We would set
the tables so everyone could sit down
at once.
After breakfast dishes were washed,
we would open the gifts. Then we would
prepare the food for dinner and the
tables were set again. We all enjoyed
snacks before everyone left for home in
the evening, although I dont think many
were hungry. Yes, we have many fond
memories of those years we could spend
with our parents. Parents seem to hold
the family ties closer together.
Last Thursday was a cold, windy day
for the wedding in Rochester, Ind., of
Edwin and Rosa Mae. The sun was shining though. My husband Joe, daughter
Loretta, and I traveled the two hours to
attend the wedding.
We were served a delicious meal of
barbecued chicken, mashed potatoes,
gravy, dressing, mixed vegetables, broccoli and cauliflower salad, several kinds
of cheese, homemade bread, butter,
jam, tapioca pudding, mixed fruit, cake,
and three kinds of piesapple, cherry,
and pumpkin. Candy bars were passed
around at the end of the meal.
Since the rest of the family wasnt
with us we decided not to stay for
the evening meal. Joe was glad to see
where his cousin Leander lives. Edwin
is Leanders son and the reception was
held at Leander and Rosinas (his par-
ents).
We were glad to see cousins, uncles,
and aunts at the wedding. We arrived
home around 5:30 p.m. We were thankful that although the weather was bad
the day before, the roads were clear on
Thursday and traveling was good. We
wish Gods blessings to the couple and
may they have a long, happy married
life together.
Happy Thanksgiving to all!
This week Ill share with you my

pumpkin roll recipe. I like to make one
or two every Thanksgiving Day.
Homemade Pumpkin Roll
3 eggs
1 cup sugar
2/3 cup fresh pumpkin
3/4 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 cup chopped nuts
Filling:
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
4 tablespoons margarine
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
8 ounces whipped topping
Beat eggs for five minutes with a
wooden spoon. Or, for those with electricity, a mixer can be used. Add sugar
and pumpkin. Beat well and add flour,
baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Grease cookie sheet (with edges)
and pour ingredients onto pan. Cover
with nuts. Bake at 375 degrees for 15
minutes. Remove from pan immediately
and, while hot, transfer onto a towel
that has been sprinkled generously with
powdered sugar. Roll up. When cool,
unroll and spread with filling.
To make the filling, stir cream cheese,
sugar, margarine, vanilla, and whipped
topping until smooth. Spread on baked
pumpkin base. Reroll and refrigerate for
at least one hour. Slice and serve.

Lady Wildcats subdue

Apaches in court action
By JIM METCALFE
DHI Media Sports Editor
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com
There were four lead

changes in the first period, with the largest lead of
three by either side., When
Gorman laid one in with 42
ticks on the board, the hosts
led 13-12.
There were three trades of
the lead in the second period
(2 ties) as neither team could
really get untracked from the
floor: a combined 12-of-35.
Fairview had a 4-0 run in the
last minute, including a transition layin by Emilee Carder
at 16 ticks, to take a 30-29
halftime edge.
Erin Marshall (11 boards,
4 steals) and Kelsie Beck
(6 boards) each had 11 for
the Apaches, who secured
39 rebounds (16 offensive),
turned it over 23 times and
added 22 fouls. They visit
Lakeview Park next week.
Jefferson seized 45 off
the glass (16 offensive),
had 24 miscues and 19
fouls. Mackenzie Hammons
sparked them off the bench
with four steals. They visit
Van Wert 6 p.m. Thursday.
In junior varsity action,
freshman Greta Fitch scored
eight to pace the Wildcats
(2-0) to a 30-21 triumph.
Carlie Phillips notched six
for Fairview.
DELPHOS Jeffersons
girls basketball team lacked
one major thing entering
2014-15 season: varsity
experience.
As the cliche goes, the only
way you can gain that experience is by going through the
fire of playing time.
The youthful Wildcats
took a step in the right
direction as they withstood
Fairview 59-52 Tuesday
night in their home opener at
Jefferson High School.
We made progress tonight.
I was most pleased with how
we shared the scoring: we had
contributions from everybody
we had out there at one time
or another, Jefferson mentor Dave Hoffman explained.
We really need to have that
mindset girls have to step
up when called upon. I felt
we got good shots and had an
aggressive attitude; we just
didnt shoot well but we know
that is a weakness right now.
A lot of our game will get
better when we gain more
experience, especially when
it comes to fouling. We went
through the pressure and
were better for it.
Fairview coach Dave
Marshall also saw some good
things.
I think this is the first
time we were ever within
30 points of them. We have
come a long way in two
years, he added. We have
some experience but we had
two regulars out and had to
call upon some JV players to
help us out.
Neither team shot particularly well: Jefferson (1-1) was
17-of-54 from the floor (1-of12 from 3) for 31.5 percent
versus 15-of-58 for the Lady
Apaches (0-1) 1-of-9 from
deep for 25.9 percent.
Both teams did shoot
well and aplenty from
the line: the Red and White
24-of-34 (70.6%) and the
Apaches 21-of-26 (80.8%).
In an up-and-down, fastpaced affair, there were 10
lead changes and the biggest
margin was the eight late in
the finale.
The final lead change
came in the third period.

LIMA The Lima Central Catholic Lady Thunderbirds

used great team speed on each end of the court to dominate the
Fort Jennings Musketeers 80-58 Tuesday night.
It was dj vu of our game Saturday night at Spencerville,
said Musketeer head coach Rhonda Liebrecht. One our of
weaknesses is that we dont finish and take advantage of
opportunities. LCC is a transition team and we simply couldnt
stop the penetration in the lane again.

Local Roundup
seeing his last contest, legendary college

basketball coach Bob Knight is still teaching the game.
Among his more recent pupils is the
girls basketball team at Parkway, where
first-year head coach Chris Weirrick said
the former Indiana icon is still making an
impact.
I happened to see an old drill of
(Coach Knights) on YouTube and weve
been doing it (in practice). The kids love it,
it has made them tough, it has made them
really work hard at rebounding and taking
the ball back up to the basket, taking the
contact and making the bucket, Weirrick
said following the Lady Panthers 71-51
win over visiting Perry on Tuesday night.
It has really paid off.
The win moved Weirricks Panthers to
2-0 on the young season. Parkway got there
with a 1-2-2 zone defense which forced
the Lady Commodores into 25 3-point
attempts. Perry couldnt find the range,
however, converting just five of those treys.
All those missed shots meant opportunities
for a rebound, something that isnt necessarily easy to do out of a zone defense, making
Parkways 56-43 advantage on the glass that
much more impressive.
Leading the way for the Panthers underneath was senior forward Terra Walls, who
collected nine rebounds in the first half on
her way to a 13-point, 15-rebound effort in
the victory.
Terra was a beast on the boards on
Saturday night (against Botkins) and she did
another good job tonight, Weirrick said.
While the Panther defense was making
life difficult for Perry, the Lady Panthers
were having little trouble getting open
looks. Those shots were falling, frequently
from long distance, where the Panthers
were 7 of 17 (41 percent) on the night.
The Panthers led by just a bucket after a
back-and-forth first quarter but began to pull
away in the second. The Panthers jumped
ahead by six when Perry switched to a trapping full-court zone midway through the
period, but Parkway had little trouble breaking the pressure and collected back-to-back
open layups from freshman Haley Hawk.
Another freshman, Sydney Crouch,
made her presence felt in that second quarter, connecting on three 3-point field goals
as part of a 10-point first half.
Crouch finished with 15 points on
want to be able to use everybody.

The depth of the Panthers was on display on Tuesday. Minus the services of a
pair of starters, Sarah Gehron, who missed
the first half due to injury, and Lydia
Heindel (illness), Parkway still had four
players reach double figures in scoring.
The Panthers were also the more aggressive team, taking nearly twice as many free
throws (40 to 23) as their opponents.
While the final score doesnt indicate
it, the game was as close as 51-45 early
in the fourth quarter. At that point, however, the Panther defense stepped up, with
Kayle Heckler coming up with two steals,
each converted on the other end, during a
stretch of seven possessions that saw six
Perry turnovers.
That run of futility, combined with
another timely three by Crouch, left the
Lady Commodores looking up at a deficit
too large to overcome.

Cyber Monday sales jump Son still waiting for

word on fathers will
17 percent to over $2B
NEW YORK (AP) Online shoppers set a set a singleday spending record on Cyber Monday, despite deals being
stretched out this holiday season.
Online sales Monday jumped 17 percent from last year,
totaling nearly $2.04 billion, research firm comScore Inc. said
Tuesday. That represents the heaviest online spending day in
history and the first to surpass $2 billion in sales, said the firm,
which tracks online sales.
Retailers from Target to Amazon have been offering online
deals since the beginning of November, and are promising
cyber deals all week.
Some anticipated the extended period would hurt Cyber
Monday sales. And the lackluster start to the holiday shopping
season in brick-and-mortar stores also lowered expectations.
But shoppers appeared to be eager to go online.
The weekend after Thanksgiving was popular for online
shopping too, with sales up 26 percent compared to the same
weekend last year. The two-day period raked in $2.01 billion
in online sales, according to comScore.
Any notion that Cyber Monday is declining in importance
is really unfounded, as it continues to post new historical highs
and reflects the ongoing strength of online this holiday season, comScore Chairman Emeritus Gian Fulgoni said.
This may be part of a larger shift toward online buying as
mobile phones spur the practice known as showrooming,
Fulgoni said in a statement. The term describes the practice of
a consumer going into stores to see an item but then buying it,
or a similar product, online.
The data were seeing suggest it may be more a change in
shopping behavior than a lack of consumer demand, Fulgoni said.
Other organizations measured a more muted response
for the day: IBM Digital Analytics Benchmark reported that

online sales rose 8.5 percent this year compared to last on
Cyber Monday. That is less stellar growth than last years,
when IBM says online sales jumped more than 20 percent by
its measure.
As the holiday shopping season becomes less concentrated on a single day, retailers and marketers took advantage
by making it easier for consumers to find the best deals on
the go, whenever and wherever they chose to shop, said Jay
Henderson, director of IBM Smarter Commerce.
Still Cyber Monday is the busiest U.S. online shopping day
of the year a title it has held since 2010.
The name Cyber Monday was coined in 2005 by the
National Retail Federations online arm, called Shop.org, to
encourage people to shop online. The name was also a nod to
online shopping being done at work where faster connections
made it easier to browse.
Some retailers painted a rosy picture of the day. Walmart.
com said it received the most online orders in its history on
Cyber Monday. It added that mobile made up about 70 percent
of the traffic to its website between Thanksgiving and Cyber
Monday.
But some shoppers were disappointed by the deals. Preston
Neill, 28, from Philadelphia, took advantage of early online
deals over the weekend like 40 percent off board games from
Amazon and clothing that was 40 percent off from Banana
Republic. But he said the deals on Cyber Monday seemed
similar to what he had already seen earlier.
I havent seen anything that jumps out at me, he said. I
feel like (Cyber Monday) is the Super Bowl of shopping, there
is a lot of hype, then it doesnt quite live up.
Rolling along: RV industry maintains momentum

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) RV manufacturers have made up more ground
since being sideswiped by the Great
Recession, and production of the rolling homes is expected to return next
year to levels seen before the economic
downturn hit.
Overall recreational vehicle shipments from manufacturers to dealers
a key measure of consumer demand
are expected to increase by nearly
4 percent to 361,400 units in 2015, the
Recreation Vehicle Industry Association
said Tuesday. Shipments totaled 353,400
units in 2007, the last year before sales
tanked along with the economy.
Shipments to dealers lots in 2014 are
forecast at 348,000 units, up 8.4 percent
from the prior year, the group said. The
momentum carried into the last half of
this year with the strongest third-quarter
shipments since 2007, it said. October
sales reached a nearly 40-year high mark
for the month.

We are absolutely rolling, RVIA
President Richard Coon said at the start
of an industry trade show in Louisville.
Industry leaders point to pent-up consumer demand, low interest rates, available credit and an improved economy
for putting RV makers and dealers who
survived the hard times back on the road
to sustained growth. Falling fuel prices
are another boost, they said.
This years projected growth would
be the fifth straight yearly gain in RV
shipments, following the low point in
2009 when sales totaled 165,700 units.
Next years forecast would be the
industrys best performance since
wholesale shipments totaled 384,400
RVs in 2005 and 390,500 in 2006. Those
figures were inflated by government
purchases of travel trailers to help house
victims displaced by Hurricane Katrina.
Its hard not to call it boom times,
said Airstream President Bob Wheeler.

There seems to be a lot of dealer confidence and consumer confidence and a
lot of forward momentum. When you
look at the numbers, were really having
a great run.
The Ohio-based subsidiary of Thor
Industries is now producing more of its
silver Airstream travel trailers than it
did before the recession, Wheeler said.
Airstreams workforce of about 470 has
grown by about 200 employees in the
past two years to keep up with demand,
he said.
John D. McCluskey said sales are up
50 percent since 2009 at his RV dealership in Florida. Sales surged by more
than 20 percent in the past year, he said.
He has hired more sales and service
staff to keep up with growing customer
demand.
Its a lot more fun to be in the RV
business these days, he said.
Automakers to jointly probe Takata air bags

DETROIT (AP) At least seven automakers are teaming
up to find the cause of a problem with air bags used in their
vehicles and how many cars to recall because of it.
Inflators in certain air bags made by the Japanese supplier Takata Corp. can explode with too much force and spew
shrapnel into the passenger compartment.
So far, 14 million vehicles worldwide have been recalled
due to the problem, including 8 million in the U.S. Takata
has yet to pinpoint a cause, even though the recalls started a
decade ago. The U.S. government wants Takata and automakers to add millions of cars across the U.S. to recalls currently
limited to areas with high humidity. The automakers indicated
Tuesday that they want to do their own testing, in addition to
tests underway at Takata.
Toyota and Honda are leading the call for an industrywide investigation. In a statement, Toyota said it will ask the
industry to hire an independent engineering company, and the
affected companies would share results to figure out recall
repairs. So far, General Motors, Nissan, Subaru, Chrysler and
Ford have agreed to cooperate. One auto industry analyst suggested the automakers feel Takata is taking too long to find
the cause.
The announcement came as Takata edged closer to a midnight deadline to agree to a national recall of drivers air bags
or face civil fines and legal action from the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration. The agency said Tuesday that it
has yet to receive a response.
Some of the biggest recalls so far have been limited to highhumidity areas in the Southern U.S., plus Hawaii and some
territories. The agency has said that prolonged exposure to airborne moisture can cause the inflator propellant to burn faster
than designed. That can rupture metal inflator canisters. At
least five deaths worldwide have been blamed on the problem.
NHTSA demanded the national recall of drivers air bags
after receiving reports of two incidents that occurred outside
the recall zone. The demand covers vehicles made by Ford,
Honda, Chrysler, Mazda and BMW, generally from the 2008
model year and earlier.
The government says it doesnt have data to warrant a

national recall of passenger side air bags.
In a statement Tuesday, Takata said it had formed a panel
to investigate its inflator manufacturing process, but it didnt
specify whether it would agree to the national recall. Takata
also said its working with top scientists who specialize in propellants, inflators, and air bag systems to evaluate its inflators.
Takata also appeared to pass the decision about a broader
recall to automakers. The company said it would produce
additional replacement units to support any further recalls that
may be announced by our customers.
A company spokesman said he expects a response to
NHTSA later Tuesday.
On Wednesday, Takata and some of the automakers will
appear at a U.S. House subcommittee hearing on the matter.
Karl Brauer, senior analyst for Kelley Blue Book, said
automakers likely are fed up with how long its taking Takata
to find the cause. But they also want their own probe so it
looks like theyre protecting customers, he said.
Takatas driver and passenger inflators are similar and use
the same propellant, so Brauer wonders why all the problem
air bags arent being recalled nationally. Regulators, he said,
may be worried about Takatas ability to handle such a large
recall financially. There are more than 30 million Takata air
bags in the U.S. and 100 million worldwide.

DEAR BRUCE: My dad

passed away in 2011 and his
will named my brother executor. So far, as a beneficiary
of my dads will and estate, I
have not seen any list of my
fathers assets and/or debts.
He had a house valued at
$116,000 to $220,000 at the
time of his death. -- H.K.
DEAR H.K.: Your brother, as executor, has legal
responsibilities he must fulfill.
He has to take the will and file
it with the probate court of the
county where your dad passed
away. Its not an expensive
process, although, given the
amounts involved, you should
hire an attorney -- not on a
percentage basis, but on an
hourly basis.
You mentioned you are a
beneficiary of your dads will,
but you didnt mention your
other siblings, or your brother,
for that matter. If you are the
entire beneficiary, then everything after his debts have been
met goes to you.
DEAR BRUCE: As a
result of being imprisoned
last year, a relative has been
unable to pay off credit card
debt. In this time, despite the
situation being explained to
the credit card companies, the
amount has increased enormously because of ongoing
interest and late fees. Also,
intent to serve notice by a law
enforcement agency was sent
to the mailing address.
Do you think it would be
possible or in his best interest
to begin bankruptcy proceedings from prison? -- Reader
DEAR
READER:
Whether or not your relative should pursue bankruptcy depends on the amounts
involved and whether the
bankruptcy court will allow
him to file. Although, given
the circumstances, I think he
should probably be able to
do so.
You didnt mention how
long he will be incarcerated.
The more time that passes, the
greater the extra charges are
going to be. Its entirely possible that he will never be able
to make the payments, and
that is why bankruptcy should
be explored.
DEAR BRUCE: There is
a modest estate ($200,000)
with five children as equal
heirs. One of the children is
refusing to sign paperwork
to settle the estate because he
thinks that he deserves more
than the others. As a result, he
is demanding that his siblings
pay him $2,500 among the
four of them in exchange for
his signature. This is likely
less than it will cost to litigate,
which he has threatened.
Some want to do it for the
sake of resolution, whereas
others disagree because its
extortion and blackmail. What
do you think? -- W.K.
DEAR W.K.: You say this
is extortion and blackmail? Of
course it is! You didnt indicate why he feels he deserves
more, but the reality is that the
$10,000 would likely be less
than it would cost to litigate,
so it would be cheaper to get
the thing settled. I think the
answer, unfortunately, is to
swallow hard and pay.
DEAR BRUCE: I am the
00102500
Description

Smart
Money
primary card holder on several
of our credit card accounts,
with my husband being secondary. Should I die first, will
he have any problems using
the cards? -- D.P.
DEAR D.P.: If you should
die, theoretically the accounts
should be closed. The reality is as long as your husband
keeps making the payments
in a proper fashion, the likelihood is no one would ever
notice that you are no longer
in the picture.
You didnt mention your
ages, but if you are long in
years as long as the payments
continue to be made, its no
sweat. If your husband is a
young man, it would be better for him to notify the card
companies and change the
account to his name, or alternatively, put the account in his
name now.
DEAR BRUCE: We had
three children. One of my
daughters passed away suddenly last year. Our desire
is that when we are gone,
our two surviving children
each receive one-third of our
estate, and the remaining third
be split equally among the
three children of our deceased
daughter.
Our bank accounts and
annuities have our names on
them and the names of our
two children. Our home is
in our names only. We have
completed a will.
Our two surviving children
know about the will and what
our wishes are. We have done
everything we think is right to
ensure our wishes are properly
carried out. We firmly believe
our children will do the right
thing, but would like to know
if our will protects them all,
especially the three children
of our deceased daughter. -A.T.
DEAR A.T.: It seems
to me that you thought this
out very carefully. First you
say, Our bank accounts and
annuities have our names on
them and the names of our
two children. Why would
their names be on your bank
accounts and annuities? Those
things should be in your
names as well as your home.
If the will is completed
and witnessed, it should do the
job. You say your two surviving children know about the
will and your wishes. Given
the fact that you trust your
surviving children and you
have a will that clearly states
who gets what, I think you are
in good shape.

first thing to do would be to stop

looking at your boyfriends cellphone.
Then ask yourself whether he has been
seeing other women or just collecting
pictures. If its the former, you have
something to worry about. If its the
latter, its no reflection on you, and he
has voyeuristic tendencies (men are
visual).
Stop making comparisons. He says
he loves your body. Unless you have
a solid reason to think differently,
believe him.
You are overdue for a frank talk
with Roger, and when you do, tell
him everything you have written to
me. Your problem may go deeper than
his photo gallery and your lowered
self-image. If you cant trust what
he tells you, the foundation of your
relationship isnt solid.
DEAR ABBY: Im carrying a
heavy burden concerning my 14-yearold grandson. He told me in strictest
confidence that he had sex with a
14-year-old girl. I have been his male
support system, mentor, adviser,
disciplinarian and friend for 12 years
because his father is rarely in the
picture.
He swore me to secrecy, which I
want to respect, but Im torn about
telling my daughter. She has a right
to know that her son is sexually

active and needs closer supervision.
We discussed condoms (they used
them), accidental pregnancy, possible
criminal charges and responsibility,
but I think he is more proud than alert
to the possible consequences.
If I share this with my daughter, I
break a long-held trust. When I urged
him to tell his mother, he refused.
What do I do? This is tearing me up.
-- KANSAS GRANDPA
DEAR GRANDPA: Without
betraying the confidence, start talking
to your daughter about how, at 14,
her son is fast becoming a man with
all that it entails, including raging
hormones. Then suggest she have
some frank talks with the boy and
keep a closer eye on him, unless she
wants to become a grandma before
hes out of high school.

DEAR ABBY: I was divorced three

years ago and have had a boyfriend,
Roger, for a year and a half. He
is seven years younger, and hes
intrigued with women on the Internet.
He saves tons of photos of these
girls on his cellphone. These ladies
are perfect. They have big breasts
and curvaceous behinds, etc. I have
had two kids. Im not overweight and
I exercise and keep myself in shape,
but I have a Mom body.
Roger has told me he loves my
body and everything about me. But
the feeling I get is that he wishes I
looked like those girls.
I have asked Roger not to save
these photos because it makes me
insecure. If hes going to look, fine.
But saving them is another thing. He
promised me he wouldnt, but some
of them are still there. So he not only
makes me feel like a fatty, but he lies
to me, too. He has more pictures of
other girls than he does of me.
Now I no longer feel comfortable
undressing in front of him. I leave
my clothes half-on and turn out the
lights when we have sex. He has made
me unable to stand myself. What
do I do? -- CANT COMPARE IN

colleague of mine
had been her doctor,
but she had stopped
seeing him because
"he didn't know
what he was talking
about."
When I asked her
to explain, she said
that she had been
weak and had almost
fainted several times.
At
other
times,
her heart suddenly
seemed to be beating
too fast. So she saw
her doctor. "He told
me it was a sinus
problem. How could
my sinuses make me
faint, or make my
heart beat too fast?"
she asked. So I told
her what I'm about to
tell you.
Sick
sinus
syndrome has nothing
to do with your
sinuses -- the ones
that get congested
when you have a
cold, or maybe from
allergies. It is a heart
condition, caused by
the malfunctioning
of a part of the
heart called the
"sinus node," or the
"sinoatrial
node."
This small area of
the heart keeps your
heart rhythm normal
or regular.
Each time your
heart beats, a tiny

electrical
current
triggers the heart
muscle to contract.
The stimulus is
sent by the sinus
node. This cluster
of cells in the upper
right portion of
your heart acts as
your body's natural
pacemaker.
(I've
put an illustration
of the sinus node
on
my
website,
AskDoctorK.com.)
The
electrical
waves travel through
the upper chambers
of the heart (the
atria). They then
pause briefly in the
atrioventricular (AV)
node in the middle of
the heart. The waves
continue
through
specialized electrical
connections in the
lower heart chambers
(the
ventricles).
This produces a nice
rhythmic contraction
of the heart muscle.
My colleague Dr.
Patrick Ellinor is
a cardiologist and
arrhythmia specialist
at Harvard-affiliated
Massachusetts
General
Hospital.
He explains that sick
sinus syndrome can
take many forms. The
sinus node may fail to

Ol left-hander was youngest player in the MLB
by Gary Clothier
Q: Who was the youngest player in the
history of major league baseball? -- L.R., St.
Petersburg, Fla.
A: Joe Nuxhall was a few weeks shy of
his 16th birthday when he appeared in his
first major league game, pitching for the
Cincinnati Reds on June 10, 1944. He pitched
two-thirds of an inning, giving up two hits and
five runs. He was sent to the minor leagues,
Fabrication & Welding Inc.
but was called back to the majors in 1952.
Nuxhall pitched through the 1966 season,
compiling a record of 135 wins and 117
losses. His lifetime batting average was .198.
After retiring from baseball, he became a
radio announcer for the Reds until 2004. His
trademark closing was: This is the Ol Lefthander, rounding third and heading for home.
Q: When and where was the first rock
concert held? -- E.R.T., Chicopee, Mass.
A: Most sources agree that the first rock
and roll concert took place when Cleveland
disc jockey Alan Freed hosted his Moondog
Coronation Ball -- a live dance event -- at the
Cleveland Arena on March 21, 1952. More
than 20,000 people showed up to hear Paul
Williams and his Hucklebuckers and Tiny
Grimes and the Rocking Highlanders. The
event had to be canceled
soon after it started due
to the huge crowd, which
was more than double the
capacity of the venue.
Q: I enjoy the work of
actress Demi Moore. How
did she come up with such
an unusual first name? -G.V., Redding, Calif.
Demi Moore
A: There is some
controversy regarding Moores first name:
Some sources say she was born Demetria,

but others say she was born Demi. Moore
was born with the last name Guynes in 1962
in Roswell, N.M.; her professional last name
is from her first husband, Freddy Moore. She
got her break in show business on General
Hospital
as
Jackie
Templeton in 1982.
Q: What happened
to recording star Grace
Slick? Where was she
born? Is Grace Slick
her real name? -- K.W.,
Bremen, Ind.
A: Grace Slick retired
from rock and roll
Grace Slick
in 1989 and began to
concentrate her talents
on visual arts. Her artwork is shown
in some of the top galleries around the
world.
Slick was born Grace Barnett Wing on
Oct. 30, 1939 in Evanston, Ill. While still a
youngster, her family moved to California,
where she attended high school. Grace
went on to study art at two universities,
one in New York and one in Florida. She
returned to the Bay Area, where she became
a model and married Jerry Slick. Together
they formed a band called The Great Society.
Shortly after that, in 1966, she joined Jefferson
Airplane.

Hershey explores
removal of corn
syrup from products
NEW YORK (AP) Hershey is looking at replacing the

high-fructose corn syrup in some of its products with sugar.
Will Papa, chief research and development officer at The
Hershey Co., told The Associated Press the company uses a mix
of sugar and high-fructose corn syrup in its products but that it
is moving more toward sugar.
We take into account what consumers want. And consumers are telling us between the two, they prefer sugar, Papa said.
A switch to sugar would make Hershey a high-profile example of the move away from high-fructose corn syrup in the food
industry. Many people say they avoid it because it has gained
a bad reputation for fueling weight gain and diabetes, though
health experts says theres not enough evidence to conclude its
any worse than regular sugar.
In an emailed statement, Hershey said its work on exploring the replacement of high-fructose corn syrup is just under
way and that it did not have a timeframe on when it might be
complete.
A representative for Hershey, Jeff Beckman, cited Almond
Joy, Fifth Avenue, Take 5 and York as examples of products
that use corn syrup. He said classic Hershey bars are made with
sugar.
Our aim is to be transparent with our consumers about the
ingredients we use in our products. Once we have more information to share, we will be back in touch, Hershey said in its
statement.
Other products that have changed from high-fructose corn
syrup to sugar include Gatorade drinks and Yoplait yogurt.
As for health, the American Medical Association has said
theres not enough evidence to specifically restrict the use of
corn syrup. The Center for Science in the Public Interest, which
advocates for food safety, has also said that theres no evidence
that the sweetener is any worse nutritionally than sugar.
The Corn Refiners Association, an industry group, has been
pushing back at the negative perceptions about high-fructose
corn syrup, which is generally cheaper than sugar. In 2010,
the association submitted an application to the Food and Drug
Administration to have its sweetener renamed corn sugar on
nutrition labels. The request was denied.
The association said it has also commissioned marketresearch firms Mintel and Nielsen to study perceptions of
sweeteners and shared the results online. For instance, the
group notes in media materials that 67% of consumers agree
that moderation is more important than specific sweetener
types.
John Bode, president of the Corn Refiners Association, said
