Sister Rose shares life
in Papua New Guinea
BY NANCY SPENCER
nspencer@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS St. Johns
students were transported to
the Land of the Unexpected
as Sister Rose Bernard told
of her mission work in Papua
New Guinea on Tuesday.
Papua New Guinea occu-
pies the eastern half of the
island of New Guinea and
numerous islands. Sister
Rose served the people of
PNG since 1964, starting as a
grade-school teacher.
I arrived in Papua New
Guinea on Sept. 1 in 1964
and was teaching on Sept.
2, she said. The first thing I
noticed was girls were termi-
nated from school in the sixth
grade. So, we built a new
school for girls to teach them
village life with classes on
agriculture and animal hus-
bandry, for example.
Sister Rose then worked in
the prison ministry as a pro-
bation officer for eight years,
helping inmates get early
release and work privileges.
One day I was traveling
and I was held up on the road
and my car was stolen and I
was almost kidnapped, she
said I think that was God
telling me to do something
else. Thats when I started
working with the HIV/AIDS

COLUMBUS Gov.
John Kasichs request
to move the State of the
State speech away from
the capital for the second
year in a row won approval
Wednesday from the state
Legislature. And this time
around, the Republican
governor had more sup-
port from his fellow GOP
lawmakers.
The Republican-led
House approved the move
with a bipartisan vote of
80-16 on Wednesday, while
the GOP-controlled Senate
cleared it on a 24-9 vote.
Kasich wants to give this
years address in Lima, a
rebounding Rust Belt city
in northwest Ohio. The
speech is scheduled to
take place the evening of
Feb. 19 at the Veterans
Memorial Civic Center.
Last year, Kasich
became the first governor
in modern memory to take
the big policy speech out-
side the Ohio Capitol in
Columbus. He chose the
blue-collar Ohio River city
of Steubenville. His plan
was met with some push-
back in the state House
last year, which narrowly
agreed to it then on a 52-42
vote.
One previous critic of
holding the speech away
the Statehouse told his col-
leagues on Wednesday that
he was eating some crow
in supporting the move this
year.
State Rep. Lynn
Wachtmann, a Napoleon
Republican, said he
learned a lot traveling to
Steubenville and talking to
people along the way.
I really assumed
because so many people
pay so little attention to
what most of us do that they
wouldnt even be aware if
the State of the State was
coming to a nearby town,
he said. But more than
being aware, they were
excited about it.
State Rep. Ron
Gerberry, D-Austintown,
implored his fellow legis-
lators not to destroy a his-
toric tradition of holding
the speech at the Capitol.
Lets stop the parading
of the State of the State
and bring it back home,
Gerberry said.
Some lawmakers had
logistical concerns about
Lima, such as where to
stay in the city of about
38,700 people.
Rep. Matt Huffman, a
Republican from Lima,
was quick to offer accom-
modations.
Three of my four chil-
dren have now moved
out, he said. So there are
a couple of extra bedrooms
at our house, some vari-
ous couches, things like
that. People may have to
double-up.

Jefferson to raise MS
finds tonight
The Northwest Conference
Sportsmanship Team, con-
sisting of over 100 stu-
dents from the 10 schools,
met earlier this year.
Along with talk of
Sportsmanship and
Leaders, the Team col-
laboratively voted to raise
money for a charity.
It was interesting to hear
how many students have
a family member or friend
diagnosed with Multiple
Sclerosis. Each school will/
has raised dollars to go
towards the National Multiple
Sclerosis Foundation. Once
all dollars are collected, a
senior from each school
will be at the presentation
to deliver the combined
check. Schools have until
Feb. 14 to raise money.
Tonight during the
Jefferson home girls
game with Spencerville,
Jeffersons students and
coaches will wear their
Orange MS shirts in sup-
port. They will also be worn
at their boys home game

Christmas Project serves
351 children, 145 families
BY NANCY SPENCER
nspencer@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS The Delphos Community Christmas Project
Director Edna Fischer was pleased with another successful
year.
The project served 351 children and 145 families before and
since Christmas.
The fact the numbers are down is good for Delphos, she
said. I just hope we didnt miss anyone.
The 2012 effort collected $44,000 in donations from local
businesses, civic clubs, organizations and individuals to pro-
vide 109 food boxes; 111 pairs of shoes; 150 fruit plates for
shut-ins and the elderly; $1,000 to St. Vincent dePaul for food;
110 food gift cards of $100 each; six box springs and mat-
tresses, frames and bedding; a baby crib; a clothes washer and
dryer; and participants will still receive gift cards to ALCO for
$50-$100.
Items donated included 18 new bicycles; 19 used trees,
decorations and lights; 142 pairs of shoes from the Phi Delta
Sorority; and according to Fischer, the most toys ever received
in the history of the project.
Delphos always comes through for us and we meet the
need every year, Fischer said. Everything is used. It all dis-
appears.
On distribution day, juniors and seniors from both local
high schools deliver the fruit plates and gifts.
Everyone pitches in some work all year round, Fischer
said.
For example, Ken Grothaus collects used bicycles and
refurbishes them; Brad and Kent Hohenbrink take in used
Christmas trees and repair or refurbish them.
The 2012 project was run out of the old Vanamatic building.
The building was perfect. We had space for everything and
people could just drive in and unload or load up, Fischer said.
It was wonderful.
As always, Fischer is grateful for all the assistance she
receives and all those who volunteer their time, money or
items for the project to be successful.

Patty Andrews of Andrews
Sisters rallied troops
BY BOB THOMAS
LOS ANGELES Patty
Andrews never served in the
military, but she and her sing-
ing sisters certainly support-
ed the troops. During World
War II, they hawked war
bonds, entertained soldiers
overseas and boosted morale
on the home-front with tunes
like Boogie Woogie Bugle
Boy of Company B and I
Can Dream, Cant I?
Andrews, the last surviv-
ing member of the singing
Andrews Sisters trio, died
Wednesday at 94 of natu-
ral causes at her home in
the Los Angeles suburb
of Northridge, said family
spokesman Alan Eichler in a
statement.
Patty was the Andrews in
the middle, the lead singer
and chief clown, whose rau-
cous jitterbugging delighted
American servicemen abroad
and audiences at home.
She could also deliver
sentimental ballads like
Ill Be with You in Apple
Blossom Time with a sin-
cerity that caused hardened
GIs far from home to weep.
From the late 1930s
through the 1940s, the
Andrews Sisters produced
one hit record after another,
beginning with Bei Mir
Bist Du Schoen in 1937
and continuing with Beat
Me Daddy, Eight to the Bar,
Rum and Coca-Cola and
more. They recorded more
than 400 songs and sold over
80 million records.
The Andrews Sisters
LaVerne, Maxene and Patty
added a new dimension.
During breaks in their sing-
ing, they cavorted about the
stage in rhythm to the music.
Their voices combined with
perfect synergy and their rise
to fame coincided with the
advent of swing music, and
their style fit perfectly into
the new craze. They aimed
at reproducing the sound of
three har-
mo n i z i n g
trumpets.
The sis-
ters record-
ed with
p o p u l a r
bands of the
40s, fitting
neatly into
the styles
of Benny
Goodman,
G l e n n
M i l l e r ,
J i m m y
D o r s e y ,
B o b
Crosby, Woody Herman,
Guy Lombardo, Desi Arnaz
and Russ Morgan. They
sang dozens of songs on
records with Bing Crosby,
including the million-seller
Dont Fence Me In. They
also recorded with Dick
Haymes, Carmen Miranda,
Danny Kaye, Al Jolson,
Jimmy Durante and Red
Foley.
The Andrews popular-
ity led to a contract with
Universal Pictures, where
they made a dozen low-
budget musical comedies
between 1940 and 1944.
In 1947, they appeared in
The Road to Rio with
Bing Crosby, Bob Hope and
Dorothy Lamour.
The trio continued until
LaVernes death in 1967. By
that time the close harmony
had turned to discord, and
the sisters had been openly
feuding.
Patty continued on her
own, finding success in Las
Vegas and on TV variety
shows. Her sister also toured
solo until her death in 1995.
Her father, Peter Andrews,
was a Greek immigrant
who anglicized his name of
Andreus when he arrived in
America; his
wife, Olga, was
a Norwegian
with a love of
music. LaVerne
was born in
1911, Maxine
(later Maxene)
i n 1916,
Patricia (later
Patty, some-
times Patti) in
1918.
All three sis-
ters were born
and raised in
the Minneapolis
area.
LaVerne played the
piano and taught her sis-
ters to sing in harmony;
neither Maxene nor Patty
ever learned to read music.
All three studied singers at
the vaudeville house near
their fathers restaurant. As
their skills developed, they
moved from amateur shows
to vaudeville and singing
with bands.
the sisters sang on radio
with a hotel band at $15 a
week. The broadcasts landed
them a contract with Decca
Records.
In 1947, Patty married
her agent Martin Melcher,
and divorced him two years
later. In 1952, Patty mar-
ried Walter Weschler, pianist
for the sisters who became
their manager and demanded
more pay for himself and for
Patty.
Patty Andrews is survived
by her foster daughter, Pam
DuBois, a niece and sev-
eral cousins. Weschler died
in 2010.

Living in the Now,
Preparing for the Future
For many of us, our goals in life remain constant: fnancial indepen-

Patty Andrews of Andrews
Sisters rallied troops
BY BOB THOMAS
LOS ANGELES Patty
Andrews never served in the
military, but she and her sing-
ing sisters certainly support-
ed the troops. During World
War II, they hawked war
bonds, entertained soldiers
overseas and boosted morale
on the home-front with tunes
like Boogie Woogie Bugle
Boy of Company B and I
Can Dream, Cant I?
Andrews, the last surviv-
ing member of the singing
Andrews Sisters trio, died
Wednesday at 94 of natu-
ral causes at her home in
the Los Angeles suburb
of Northridge, said family
spokesman Alan Eichler in a
statement.
Patty was the Andrews in
the middle, the lead singer
and chief clown, whose rau-
cous jitterbugging delighted
American servicemen abroad
and audiences at home.
She could also deliver
sentimental ballads like
Ill Be with You in Apple
Blossom Time with a sin-
cerity that caused hardened
GIs far from home to weep.
From the late 1930s
through the 1940s, the
Andrews Sisters produced
one hit record after another,
beginning with Bei Mir
Bist Du Schoen in 1937
and continuing with Beat
Me Daddy, Eight to the Bar,
Rum and Coca-Cola and
more. They recorded more
than 400 songs and sold over
80 million records.
The Andrews Sisters
LaVerne, Maxene and Patty
added a new dimension.
During breaks in their sing-
ing, they cavorted about the
stage in rhythm to the music.
Their voices combined with
perfect synergy and their rise
to fame coincided with the
advent of swing music, and
their style fit perfectly into
the new craze. They aimed
at reproducing the sound of
three har-
mo n i z i n g
trumpets.
The sis-
ters record-
ed with
p o p u l a r
bands of the
40s, fitting
neatly into
the styles
of Benny
Goodman,
G l e n n
M i l l e r ,
J i m m y
D o r s e y ,
B o b
Crosby, Woody Herman,
Guy Lombardo, Desi Arnaz
and Russ Morgan. They
sang dozens of songs on
records with Bing Crosby,
including the million-seller
Dont Fence Me In. They
also recorded with Dick
Haymes, Carmen Miranda,
Danny Kaye, Al Jolson,
Jimmy Durante and Red
Foley.
The Andrews popular-
ity led to a contract with
Universal Pictures, where
they made a dozen low-
budget musical comedies
between 1940 and 1944.
In 1947, they appeared in
The Road to Rio with
Bing Crosby, Bob Hope and
Dorothy Lamour.
The trio continued until
LaVernes death in 1967. By
that time the close harmony
had turned to discord, and
the sisters had been openly
feuding.
Patty continued on her
own, finding success in Las
Vegas and on TV variety
shows. Her sister also toured
solo until her death in 1995.
Her father, Peter Andrews,
was a Greek immigrant
who anglicized his name of
Andreus when he arrived in
America; his
wife, Olga, was
a Norwegian
with a love of
music. LaVerne
was born in
1911, Maxine
(later Maxene)
i n 1916,
Patricia (later
Patty, some-
times Patti) in
1918.
All three sis-
ters were born
and raised in
the Minneapolis
area.
LaVerne played the
piano and taught her sis-
ters to sing in harmony;
neither Maxene nor Patty
ever learned to read music.
All three studied singers at
the vaudeville house near
their fathers restaurant. As
their skills developed, they
moved from amateur shows
to vaudeville and singing
with bands.
the sisters sang on radio
with a hotel band at $15 a
week. The broadcasts landed
them a contract with Decca
Records.
In 1947, Patty married
her agent Martin Melcher,
and divorced him two years
later. In 1952, Patty mar-
ried Walter Weschler, pianist
for the sisters who became
their manager and demanded
more pay for himself and for
Patty.
Patty Andrews is survived
by her foster daughter, Pam
DuBois, a niece and sev-
eral cousins. Weschler died
in 2010.

Dear EarthTalk: My
family has bad allergies
and Id like to improve our
indoor air quality. What are
some steps I should take?
Marcia Lane,
Scranton, PA
Even for those of us with-
out allergies, poor indoor air
quality is an often overlooked
health issue. Recent research
has shown that the air inside
some buildings can be more
polluted than the outdoor air
in the most industrialized of
cities. And since many of us
spend some 90 percent of
our time indoors, cleaning the
air where we live and work
might be one of the most
important things we can do
for our health.
The U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA)
lists three basic strategies for
improving indoor air: source
control, improved ventila-
tion and air cleaners. Source
control, whereby emissions
from individual sources of
pollution are eliminated or
reducedfor instance find-
ing somewhere outside the
home to store old paint and
construction suppliesis
typically the most effective
strategy.
If the sources of pollu-
tion are beyond your control,
bringing in more air from
outside through better venti-
lation is the best bet. Most
home heating and cooling
systems, including forced
air heating systems, do not
mechanically bring fresh
air into the house, the EPA
warns. Opening windows
and doors, operating window
or attic fans when the weather
permits, or running a win-
dow air conditioner with the
vent control open, increases
the outdoor ventilation rate.
The agency adds that local
bathroom or kitchen fans that
exhaust outdoors also remove
contaminants while increas-
ing the outdoor air ventilation
rate.
Air cleaners (either
mechanical filters or elec-
tronic cleaners) can also
help reduce or remove some
forms of indoor air pollution.
Some air cleaners are highly
effective at particle removal,
while others, including most
table-top models, are much
less so, reports the EPA.
People with sensitivity to
particular sources may find
that air cleaners are helpful
only in conjunction with con-
certed efforts to remove the
source. The agencys free
online Guide to Air Cleaners
in the Home compares the
general types of residential
air cleaners and their effec-
tiveness in reducing pollut-
ants including particles and
gaseous contaminants.
Some of us swear by our
houseplants for keeping our
indoor air free of pollutants.
Mother Nature Network
reports that certain plants are
known to filter out specific
contaminants: Aloe removes
airborne formaldehyde
and benzene; spider plants
scrub carbon monoxide and
xylene; and gerbera daisies
take the trichloroethylene left
over from dry cleaned items
out of your air. The EPA,
however, does not consider
houseplants to be especially
effective at air filtration, and
even warns that overwatered
indoor houseplants can in
and of themselves present a
health hazard because damp
soil may promote the growth
of allergens.
Good housekeeping also
can go a long way toward
improving indoor air.
WebMD reports that regu-
lar mopping and vacuuming
(with a HEPA-filter-equipped
vacuum cleaner), keep-
ing interior moisture levels
low, maintaining a smoke-
free environment, and ditch-
ing chemical air fresheners
are all key to maintaining
good breathing space inside.
WebMD also suggests test-
ing your home for radon, a
radioactive gas found in soils
that can penetrate cracks in a
buildings foundation and has
been linked to lung cancer.

DAYTON (AP) The University of Dayton is reinforcing
floors of hundreds of student houses after the floors of two
houses sank during large gatherings.
The university says it will take about two months to shore
up the floors of 301 student houses near campus. UD is calling
it a precautionary measure.
The Dayton Daily News reports that students wont have
to move out during the work, which is expected to start next
week.
Students reported sinking floors in two of the houses during
large parties earlier this month.
The university said previously set occupancy limits for the
houses will likely be adjusted once the floors are reinforced.
UD began buying homes in the early 20th century neighbor-
hoods near campus in the 1970s.

COLUMBUS Ohio Gov.
John Kasichs long-awaited
education funding overhaul is
nearly here.
The Republican governor
has scheduled a series of events
today to showcase the propos-
al, which is anticipated to kick
off months of debate over the
best direction for Ohios public
school system.
Kasichs plan is expected to
contain his attempt at resolv-
ing constitutional issues with
the existing school-funding
formula, which assigns dis-
trict-by-district subsidies, and
a host of other policy reforms.
Kasich has signaled his desire
for systemic change and
hinted at a variety of broad
ideas that he favors. Those
include enhanced parental
control, public school district
funds that follow the poorest
children when they choose a
different education option, and
monetary rewards for teachers
whose students show measur-
able improvement. The gov-
ernor plans to brief invited
superintendents on compo-
nents of his plan at an after-
noon gathering in suburban
Columbus organized by the
Buckeye Association of School
Administrators. That will be
followed by a formal unveiling
to the press and a Virtual Town
Hall broadcast online at 6 p.m.,
for which citizens can submit
questions. After Clevelands
plan for transforming its strug-
gling schools was passed on a
bipartisan basis, Kasich took
the unusual step of publicly
endorsing the accompanying
school levy needed to fund
the changes that include mak-
ing student performance a key
factor in deciding teacher pay
and eliminating seniority as a
determining factor in layoffs.
Statehouse Democrats on
Wednesday asked for a voice
in the process, which the gov-
ernor has kept unusually quiet.
Its not reform were
arguing about. Its the pro-
cess of how we get there,
said state Rep. Teresa Fedor,
a former schoolteacher. She
said Democrats want hon-
est, professional engagement.
Fedor joined fellow representa-
tives Debbie Phillips and Matt
Lundy, fellow Democrats, in
citing three areas they hope
Kasichs plan tackles. They
want to see more money for
pre-school and all-day kinder-
garten, which they said has
been key to education advanc-
es in other states; a formula
that helps districts avoid so
many local levy requests; and
greater accountability to the
public for for-profit charter
schools. The Ohio Federation
of Teachers issued a statement
calling Democrats ideas spot
on. Identifying early child-
hood education as a key prior-
ity is a huge step in strength-
ening the foundation of every
childs learning and future
achievement, the group said.
Ohio has been effectively with-
out a school funding formula
since 2009. Thats the equa-
tion that answers vexing policy
questions and doles out dollars
accordingly. Decisions that go
into calculating whats paid to
Ohios 613 school districts and
353 charter schools are likely
to affect many Ohioans tax
bills, home values, and the ulti-
mate quality of the education
Ohio children receive. Kasich
scrapped his Democratic prede-
cessor Ted Stricklands attempt
at a solution, an evidence-
based model widely criticized
as theoretical and unfunded.
While Kasich initially predict-
ed hed have his formula ready
by October 2011, its taken him
more than an additional year to
come up with a plan.
In the two decades since
the Ohio Supreme Court first
declared the states school fund-
ing system unconstitutional,
many attempts have been made
to come up with a workable
solution. The high court said
Ohios system relied too heav-
ily on property taxes, which
can vary widely between rich
and poor districts. One plan
looked to spending by aca-
demically successful schools
as the benchmark for districts
statewide. Another sent a set
amount per student to each
district, with additional weight
given to how many pupils a
district had in poverty or in
special programs. Stricklands
plan identified education strat-
egies that were scientifically
proven to work, then tried
phasing them in over time. The
Ohio Coalition for Equity and
Adequacy of School Funding,
the group that brought Ohios
original school funding law-
suit, said Stricklands plan got
the state closest to a constitu-
tional approach. But it wasnt
affordable.

By ANDREW TAYLOR
WASHINGTON The
Senate is poised to permit the
government to borrow hun-
dreds of billions of dollars
more to meet its obligations,
putting off one Washington
showdown even as others
loom in coming weeks.
The measure would sus-
pend the $16.4 trillion limit
on federal borrowing through
May 18, allowing about $450
billion in new debt to be
added to the federal ledger,
according to an estimate by
the Bipartisan Policy Center.
The Republican-controlled
House passed the legisla-
tion last week. A successful
Senate vote would send the
measure to President Barack
Obama, who is expected to
sign it into law immediately.
Without the bill, the gov-
ernment would default on its
obligations by as early as
mid-February.
The short-term increase in
the borrowing cap is the brain-
child of House Republicans,
who wanted to re-sequence
a series of upcoming bud-
get battles, taking the threat
of a potentially devastating
government default off the
table and instead setting up a
clash in March over automat-
ic across-the-board spending
cuts set to strike the Pentagon
and many domestic programs.
Those cuts postponed by
the recent fiscal cliff deal
are the punishment for
the failure of a 2011 deficit
supercommittee to reach an
agreement. The panel was
itself established by the hard-
fought 2011 increase in the
debt limit.
Democrats are going along
because the debt increase
isnt contingent on matching
cuts to the budget, as long
demanded by House Speaker
John Boehner, R-Ohio. To
sell the measure to House
GOP conservatives, Boehner
instead attached a no bud-
get, no pay provision that
would withhold pay for
House and Senate members
if the chamber in which they
serve fails to pass a bud-
get plan. That was a slap
at the Democratic-controlled
Senate, which hasnt passed a
budget blueprint since 2009.
The no budget, no pay
provision is seen by congres-
sional insiders as a bad idea
whose time has arrived. For
starters, it makes members of
the minority party dependent
on the ability of the majority
party to advance a budget if
they all are to be paid. But the
announcement of the move
was quickly followed by an
announcement by Senate
Democrats that they would
indeed advance a budget for
the first time in four years.
Lawmakers have already
shifted their focus to the
across-the-board cuts, which
would pare $85 billion from
this years budget after being
delayed from Jan. 1 until
March 1 and reduced by $24
billion by the recently enact-
ed tax bill. Defense hawks
are particularly upset, say-
ing the Pentagon cuts would
devastate military readiness
and cause havoc in defense
contracting. The cuts, called
a sequester in Washington-
speak, were never intended to
take effect but were instead
aimed at driving the two sides
to a large budget bargain.
But Republicans and Obama
now appear on a collision
course over how to replace
the across-the-board cuts.
Obama and his Democratic
allies insist that additional
revenues be part of the solu-
tion; Republicans say fur-
ther tax increases are off the
table after the 10-year, $600
billion-plus increase in taxes
on wealthier earners forced
upon Republicans by Obama
earlier this month. The debt
measure permits borrowing
through May 18 and resets
the debt limit to reflect it. But
the deadline to again raise
the ceiling would be pushed
off until August, according
to Bipartisan Policy Center
calculations. Thats because
Treasury would retain the
ability to use accounting
steps known as extraordi-
nary measures to stave off
default.
Senate to clear debt
limit increase for Obama
By JIM KUHNHENN
WASHINGTON Just as President
Barack Obama is pushing new initiatives on
gun control and immigration, the gloomy old
problem of a sluggish economy is elbowing
its way back into prominence. Consumer con-
fidence is falling, the economy is contracting
and large automatic spending cuts are threat-
ening to hit the Pentagon and other programs,
with uncertain consequences.
These troubles arise as Obamas public
approval is improving and as he begins to use
his sway to promote the key features of his
second-term agenda. The White House, the
Federal Reserve and independent economists
attributed the shrinkage in gross domestic
product and the drop in consumer confidence
to one-time events and said underlying eco-
nomic factors were still showing encouraging
signs.
But in politics, power resides in the
moment. Any immediate economic setback
or the perception of one could weaken
Obamas clout or at least distract him as he
carefully tries to put his imprint on initiatives
dealing with immigration and gun violence.
At the White House, there was no evidence
of a course alteration. And White House offi-
cials expressed confidence in consumption
and investment trends that showed evidence
of strength.
But the Commerce Department announce-
ment Wednesday that the economy shrank at
an annual rate of 0.1 percent came a day after
the Conference Board reported a sharp decline
in consumer confidence in January. That drop,
together with one in December, erased con-
sumer confidence that had built up in 2012.
Whats more, the new data comes just
two days before the government releases the
January unemployment report, which econo-
mists believe will stay at the still-high rate of
7.8 percent, where it has held for two months.
Whats most critical to consumer con-
fidence is employment, said Lynn Franco,
director of economic indicators at the
Conference Board. Weve had spurts where
weve had strong job growth and weve seen a
rebound in confidence, and then suddenly you
have a pullback in employment and you get
a pullback in confidence. So we need a con-
vincing story, and thats going to take several
months of jobs growth.
Analysts said the economy is still on track
to grow steadily if modestly at a roughly 2
percent pace, as long as the housing and auto
industries continue to recover.
The Commerce Department attributed the
economic contraction mainly to companies
restocking at a slower rate and to reductions
in government spending on defense. While
companies will ultimately have to rebuild
their inventories, the cuts in defense spend-
ing could offer a hint of things to come. The
administration argued that the 22 percent
reduction in defense spending was partly
in anticipation of automatic spending cuts
that were going to take effect at the begin-
ning of the year. Obama and congressional
Republicans averted that so-called fiscal cliff
by extending Bush-era tax rates to all but the
wealthiest Americans.
But the deal simply delayed the auto-
matic cuts until March 1. At that point, the
Pentagon faces across-the-board cuts of 7
percent, while domestic programs will have
to shrink by 5 percent. Some analysts believe
that if those cuts are allowed to occur, as some
Republicans are now suggesting, the economy
could lose a half a percentage point of growth.
Some in the business community hope the
experience in the last quarter will alert law-
makers to the potential economic damage the
automatic cuts could create.
I dont think any time you see a reduc-
tion in economic growth that its good news,
White House press secretary Jay Carney con-
ceded Wednesday.
Economic jitters compete with Obama agenda
By MARTIN CRUTSINGER
WASHINGTON The Federal
Reserve said Wednesday that the U.S.
economy paused in recent months
because of temporary factors and reaf-
firmed its commitment to try to stimu-
late growth by keeping borrowing costs
low for the foreseeable future.
The Fed took no new action at its
two-day policy meeting. But it stood
behind aggressive steps it launched in
December to try to reduce unemploy-
ment, in a statement released after the
meeting. In December, the Fed said it
would keep its key short-term inter-
est rate at a record low at least until
unemployment falls below 6.5 percent.
Unemployment is currently 7.8 percent.
And the Fed said it would keep buying
$85 billion a month in Treasurys and
mortgage bonds to try to keep borrow-
ing costs low and encourage spending.
The Feds decision to continue its
stimulus programs was largely expected
and had little impact on stock and bond
prices. Earlier in the day, the Commerce
Department said the economy unexpect-
edly shrank at an annual rate of 0.1 per-
cent from October through December.
The first quarterly drop in growth
since the final months of the Great
Recession was mainly because compa-
nies restocked at a slower rate and the
government slashed defense spending.
In its statement, the Fed said eco-
nomic activity paused in recent months,
in large part because of weather-related
disruptions and other transitory factors.
Despite the slowdown, the statement
noted that hiring continued to expand
at a moderate pace, consumer spend-
ing and business investment increased
and the housing sector showed further
improvement. And it said strains in
global financial markets have eased
somewhat, but cautioned that risks
remain.
The statement made no mention
of deep cuts in defense and domes-
tic spending that will take effect in
March if Congress and President Barack
Obama dont reach a deal to avert them.
Those cuts threaten to keep growth
weak in 2013. Diane Swonk chief econ-
omist at Mesirow Financial, suspects
the minutes of the meeting, which will
be released in three weeks, will reveal
some concerns members hold about the
budget issues impact on the economy.
The Fed is very cognizant about
how it characterizes the economy,
Swonk said. They are worried about
a self-fulfilling prophecy of talking the
economy down too much.
The statement was approved on an
11-1 vote. Esther George, the presi-
dent of the Federal Reserve Bank of
Kansas City, cast the lone dissenting
vote. George, who is a new voting
member, expressed concerns about the
risk of higher inflation caused by the
Feds aggressive policies. In December,
the Fed signaled for the first time that
it will tie its policies to specific eco-
nomic barometers. Fed Chairman Ben
Bernanke made clear during a news con-
ference that even after unemployment
falls below 6.5 percent, the Fed might
decide that it needs to keep stimulating
the economy. Other economic factors
will also shape its policy decisions, he
said. The guidance was designed to
give consumers, companies and inves-
tors a clearer sense of when super-low
borrowing costs might start to rise.
The Fed also said it would continue
its bond purchases until the job market
improved substantially. When it buys
bonds, the Fed increases its investment
portfolio and pumps more money into
the financial system something crit-
ics say could eventually ignite inflation
or create dangerous bubbles in assets
like real estate or stocks. On Friday,
the government will release its jobs
report for January. The unemployment
is expected to remain 7.8 percent. That
still-high rate, 3 1/2 years after the
Great Recession officially ended, helps
explain why the Fed has kept its key
short-term rate at a record low near
zero since December 2008, just after
the financial crisis erupted. Still, some
private economists think the Fed will
decide to suspend its bond purchases in
the second half of this year. They note
that the minutes of the Feds December
meeting revealed a split: Some of the
12 voting members thought the bond
purchases would be needed through
2013. Others felt the purchases should
be slowed or stopped altogether before
years end.
Fed says growth pause temporary, keeps up stimulus
WASHINGTON (AP)
Republican Chuck Hagel,
President Barack Obamas
nominee for defense secretary,
is facing GOP critics who have
challenged his past comments
on Israel, Iran and nuclear
weapons.
The former two-term senator
from Nebraska is the lone wit-
ness at a Senate Armed Services
Committee hearing today that
could be crucial in determining
whether he will win Senate con-
firmation to succeed Defense
Secretary Leon Panetta in
Obamas second-term national
security team. Two former com-
mittee chairmen Democrat
Sam Nunn and Republican John
Warner will introduce the
nominee.
If confirmed, Hagel, a deco-
rated Vietnam combat veter-
an, would be the first enlisted
man and first Vietnam veteran
to serve as defense secretary.
Hagel has the announced back-
ing of about a dozen Democrats
and the tacit support of doz-
ens more who are unlikely to
embarrass the president by
defeating his Cabinet pick.
One Republican Sen. Thad
Cochran of Mississippi has
said he will vote for his former
colleague.
Six Republicans, including
four members of the Armed
Services panel, have said they
will oppose Hagels nomi-
nation. Sen. Jim Inhofe of
Oklahoma, the top GOP law-
maker on the committee, has
said he and Hagel are too
philosophically opposed on
issues such as defense spend-
ing, nuclear weapons and the
Middle East. Crucial for Hagel
will be the questioning by Sen.
John McCain, R-Ariz. Hagel
and McCain are fellow Vietnam
veterans who once had a close
relationship during their years
in the Senate, but politics and
Hagels opposition to increased
troop numbers in Iraq divided
the two men.
McCain has praised Hagels
military service but said he had
serious concerns about posi-
tions the nominee has taken
on various issues. He said he
is reserving judgment until
after the hearing. Sen. Lindsey
Graham, R-S.C., earlier this
month described Obamas
selection as an in-your-face
pick but was a bit less critical
this week.

COLDWATER In such a physi-
cally demanding sports such as high
school wrestling, coaches will speak
a lot of getting grapplers healthy and
keeping them there.
That was never more true than
Wednesday during the first-ever
OHSAA State Team Dual Tournament
at The Palace in Coldwater High School.
St. Johns and Spencerville were
scheduled to wrestle Coldwater and
Bath in the first match, with the winners
to battle later that night.
Unfortunately for the Blue Jays, inju-
ries have taken a severe toll as they only
had six healthy wrestlers, thus forcing
them to forfeit out.
The Bearcats had enough with
bumping people up weight classes to
do so in an effort to compete but
fell 46-30 to the Wildcats. Later on, the
Wildcats fell 37-30 to Coldwater.
We bump guys up weight classes
because we felt we could be com-
petitive and for the most part, we were.
We voided two classes and got one
back, Spencerville coach Tom Wegesin
explained. We won five matches and
our heavyweight (Jake Bellows) was
in good shape but got caught in a move
and was pinned. This was a nice oppor-
tunity to get another match and see what
we need to work on.
For Bath coach Clayton Westerbeck,
his team also had to survive.
We had three starters not here: Nate
Stonehill at 132, Zach Garrett at 138
and Easton Rudasill at 170; because
of illness or injury, so we had some
fill-ins that did well, Westerbeck said.
Hopefully, they should be back for
Saturday. These Wednesday or Thursday
matches are tough for your training
because you usually got hard and light
for a normally meet on Saturday but you
have to go hard on both days.
The match began with three voids:
freshman Wyatt Stahl (106 pounds)
and junior Colin Ingram (113) garnered
voids for the Wildcats and junior Ashley
King (120) got one for the Bearcats.
The first contested match was at
126, when sophomore Jared Davis tech-
falled sophomore Derrick Smith 17-2
(2:43).
Spencerville won the next two: junior
Trevor Bockey outwrestling freshman
Jacob Horstman 5-2 at 132 and senior
Cory Binkley pinning freshman Joey
McConnell at 4:25.
Bath swept three in a row: at 145,
when junior Derrick Lowe tech-falled
sophomore Cole Bellows 18-3 (4:56);
senior Colin Wise pinning freshman
Alex Mayer (1:54) at 152; and sopho-
more Ryker Rabley pinning freshman
Zach Brown (:51).
Spencerville senior Kyle Sawmiller
bumped up to 170 to turn the tables on
Baths senior Drew Ebbeskotte (1:47)
but 182-pound junior Jaiden Knock
turned around to pin freshman Wyatt
Krouskop at 3:41 to seal the match,
leading 40-21 with three classes left.
Spencerville senior Lucas Shumate
outwrestled junior Christopher Lamarr
10-8 and classmate Lucas Krouskop
pinned freshman Kyle Lhamon at the
3-minute mark.
The final match saw junior Caleb
Neal turn a reversal into a pin of senior
Jake Bellows at 3:41.
We have to get ready for the
Northwest Conference Saturday.
Saturday and next Tuesday versus St.
Johns are for seeding purposes for
sectionals, Wegesin added. What we
need to work on the next few weeks are
the small details, the little things that
were just missing that are costing us
in matches. Were close; if we can iron
those out, we have some guys that are
capable of getting to districts and even
state if things go well.
Spencerville is in the Northwest
Conference meet at 10 a.m. Saturday at
Lima Central Catholic, while Bath is in
the Western Buckeye League meet 10
a.m. Saturday at Elida.
Spencerville Bearcats fall
in State Team tourney
I hate these last-minutes surprises at the Super Bowl.
The latest was retiring Baltimore Raven linebacker
and sure-fire first-ballot Hall-of-Famer Ray Lewis being
accused os using performance-enhancing drugs in regards to
his comeback from a season-ending torn triceps.
I believe it goes back two years.
Here is my issue: why bring it up now? Why not earlier?
To break a story? Get the juices flowing for the
2-week layover between the conference championships and
the Super Bowl?
It is possible for it to be true. What these men put their
bodies through in the course of an NFL career 17 years is
a long time to play at this level is unbelievable; it takes
a toll even on high school players, so imagine what it does
at that level.
I imagine they need a lot of help.
I just question the timing.
In all honesty, maybe its a good thing because I am
already tired of the brother-versus-brother angle John
Harbaugh versus Jim Harbaugh and the comparisons
being made between Johns 5-year head coaching career for
the Ravens and Jims two years with the 49ers.
Im not writing that there isnt some interesting story
lines here but two weeks of this gets old very old very
quickly.
This is why I do not like the Super Bowl to be two weeks
later but I also understand that moolah as that immor-
tal American philosopher, Gomer Pyle, would exclaim:
Surprise! Surprise! Surprise! the driving force behind
this big event.
I also think that moving the Pro Bowl to fill in the week-
end between is a smart move, even though the NFL is now
talking about getting rid of it for lack of effort.
Well, if money is big, the TV ratings tell us not to get
rid of it.
By the way, did you know that the Ravens were
already trailing?
I discovered this when putting my column together this
week.
It seems that Move America Forward is having a contest
to see which teams fans donate more money to a most
worthy cause: care packages for our troops in Afghanistan.
These include items such as Oreo cookies, hot apple
cider, deodorant, sun block, etc.
Apparently, 49ers fans are in a substantial lead.
You can find more info at the groups web site.
As for my pick, I know you are all waiting with bated
breath but youll have to wait until my Pigskin Picks
Saturday; hopefully, I will have more luminaries making
their prognostication in our group than the usual three.
Alex Rodriguez is in the news again for being linked
to using PEDs, along with a few others in Major League
Baseball.
Ill be honest: I have never been a fan of the guy, even
before he came to The Evil Empire.
He admitted he has used them earlier this century for a
3-year period, so I give him credit for coming clean. Maybe
he was forced to but he still did so.
Just like with Ray Lewis above: I am willing to give him
the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise.
Say it aint so Ray!

MSJ caps season sweep with

70-64 win over Bluffton
By Ryan Schadewald
Sports
information assistant
CINCINNATI The
Mount St. Joseph Lions used
a 16-3 run to open the game
en route to a 70-64 victory
over the Bluffton University
mens basketball team on
Wednesday.
The visitors fell to
9-11 on the season, 5-8 in
Heartland Collegiate Athletic
Conference play. The
Beavers slipped to seventh
in the conference, moving
to the outside of the HCAC
Tournament picture with just
five games remaining.
MSJ not only went ahead
of Bluffton but the Lions
(7-13, 6-7 HCAC) now hold
an important head-to-head
tie-breaker over the Beavers
by virtue of their season
sweep.
Blufftons Dustin Kinn
(Alvada/New Riegel) began
the game with a deuce to
give the Beavers a 2-0 lead.
The Lions then put up 16 of
the next 17 points to take a
16-3 lead at the 13:59 mark
of the first half. The Beavers
answered with an 8-2 spurt
of their own. Thayne Recker
(Arlington) began the run
with a layup, followed by
deuces from Nate Chambers
(Miamisburg) and Recker and
a couple Kinn free throws,
cutting the home teams lead
to 18-11 at the 11:09 mark.
The Beavers were able to
cut the lead down to two
points late in the first half
on a couple Recker chip
shots and a tip-in from Ryan
Ebbeskotte (Fort Jennings/
Delphos Jefferson). A 3-ball
by David Mann put Mount
St. Joseph up 32-27 at the
half.
Mount St. Joseph was able
to stretch the lead to eight
points to start the second
half. After a layup by Kinn,
the Lions went on a 5-0 run
to extend their lead to 37-29
at the 17:51 mark of the sec-
ond half. Both teams contin-
ued to battle back and forth
throughout the second period
with the Lions maintaining a
6- to 10-point spread through
the first 12 minutes of the
second half.
Mount St. Joseph led
52-42 at the 10:24 mark,
when the Beavers decided
to make a run. Josh Fisher
(Rockford/Parkway) scored
seven straight points for the
visitors which cut the MSJ
lead to seven. Billy Taflinger
(Lima/Central Catholic)
followed with a fast-break
layup, making it 58-53 at the
7:00 mark of the second half.
After a pair of freebies by
Travis Combs for the Lions,
Will Pope (Somerville/Preble
Shawnee) added a deuce and
Fisher made a free throw to
cut the Lion lead to four with
5:32 left in the game.
After three straight points
for the Mount, Kinn drained a
jumper in the paint and Pope
was able to tip in an offensive
rebound which cut the deficit
to one point with 54 seconds
remaining. However, David
Mann locked the game up
with a clutch triple and 66-62
lead. His make led to plenty
of fouling and free throws as
MSJ sealed the sweep with a
70-64 victory.
The Beavers were led
by senior Josh Fisher, who
scored 18 points on 6-of-13
from the field and 6-for-9
at the charity stripe. Kinn
chipped in 14 points, hitting
5-for-6 from the floor. Pope
added 12 points and seven
boards in a losing effort.
Mount St. Joseph was
led by Mann, who scored 24
points and a game-high 12
rebounds.
Both teams shot 49 per-
cent from the floor. Bluffton
was 0-for-5 from beyond the
arc, while Mount St. Joseph
hit 4-for-16 (25 percent).
However, the Beavers shot
only 55.2 percent (16-for-29)
from the charity stripe, while
the Lions converted 84.2 per-
cent (16-of-19). The Beavers
finished with a 32-24 edge on
the glass.
Bluffton will be back in
action on Saturday when the
Beavers travel to Anderson,
Ind. The men are slated to
play at 4 p.m. following the
womens game at 2 p.m.
The Beavers will be back
home Feb. 9 as they welcome
Hanover at 3 p.m. in the
Sommer Center.

COLDWATER In such a physi-
cally demanding sports such as high
school wrestling, coaches will speak
a lot of getting grapplers healthy and
keeping them there.
That was never more true than
Wednesday during the first-ever
OHSAA State Team Dual Tournament
at The Palace in Coldwater High School.
St. Johns and Spencerville were
scheduled to wrestle Coldwater and
Bath in the first match, with the winners
to battle later that night.
Unfortunately for the Blue Jays, inju-
ries have taken a severe toll as they only
had six healthy wrestlers, thus forcing
them to forfeit out.
The Bearcats had enough with
bumping people up weight classes to
do so in an effort to compete but
fell 46-30 to the Wildcats. Later on, the
Wildcats fell 37-30 to Coldwater.
We bump guys up weight classes
because we felt we could be com-
petitive and for the most part, we were.
We voided two classes and got one
back, Spencerville coach Tom Wegesin
explained. We won five matches and
our heavyweight (Jake Bellows) was
in good shape but got caught in a move
and was pinned. This was a nice oppor-
tunity to get another match and see what
we need to work on.
For Bath coach Clayton Westerbeck,
his team also had to survive.
We had three starters not here: Nate
Stonehill at 132, Zach Garrett at 138
and Easton Rudasill at 170; because
of illness or injury, so we had some
fill-ins that did well, Westerbeck said.
Hopefully, they should be back for
Saturday. These Wednesday or Thursday
matches are tough for your training
because you usually got hard and light
for a normally meet on Saturday but you
have to go hard on both days.
The match began with three voids:
freshman Wyatt Stahl (106 pounds)
and junior Colin Ingram (113) garnered
voids for the Wildcats and junior Ashley
King (120) got one for the Bearcats.
The first contested match was at
126, when sophomore Jared Davis tech-
falled sophomore Derrick Smith 17-2
(2:43).
Spencerville won the next two: junior
Trevor Bockey outwrestling freshman
Jacob Horstman 5-2 at 132 and senior
Cory Binkley pinning freshman Joey
McConnell at 4:25.
Bath swept three in a row: at 145,
when junior Derrick Lowe tech-falled
sophomore Cole Bellows 18-3 (4:56);
senior Colin Wise pinning freshman
Alex Mayer (1:54) at 152; and sopho-
more Ryker Rabley pinning freshman
Zach Brown (:51).
Spencerville senior Kyle Sawmiller
bumped up to 170 to turn the tables on
Baths senior Drew Ebbeskotte (1:47)
but 182-pound junior Jaiden Knock
turned around to pin freshman Wyatt
Krouskop at 3:41 to seal the match,
leading 40-21 with three classes left.
Spencerville senior Lucas Shumate
outwrestled junior Christopher Lamarr
10-8 and classmate Lucas Krouskop
pinned freshman Kyle Lhamon at the
3-minute mark.
The final match saw junior Caleb
Neal turn a reversal into a pin of senior
Jake Bellows at 3:41.
We have to get ready for the
Northwest Conference Saturday.
Saturday and next Tuesday versus St.
Johns are for seeding purposes for
sectionals, Wegesin added. What we
need to work on the next few weeks are
the small details, the little things that
were just missing that are costing us
in matches. Were close; if we can iron
those out, we have some guys that are
capable of getting to districts and even
state if things go well.
Spencerville is in the Northwest
Conference meet at 10 a.m. Saturday at
Lima Central Catholic, while Bath is in
the Western Buckeye League meet 10
a.m. Saturday at Elida.
Spencerville Bearcats fall
in State Team tourney
I hate these last-minutes surprises at the Super Bowl.
The latest was retiring Baltimore Raven linebacker
and sure-fire first-ballot Hall-of-Famer Ray Lewis being
accused os using performance-enhancing drugs in regards to
his comeback from a season-ending torn triceps.
I believe it goes back two years.
Here is my issue: why bring it up now? Why not earlier?
To break a story? Get the juices flowing for the
2-week layover between the conference championships and
the Super Bowl?
It is possible for it to be true. What these men put their
bodies through in the course of an NFL career 17 years is
a long time to play at this level is unbelievable; it takes
a toll even on high school players, so imagine what it does
at that level.
I imagine they need a lot of help.
I just question the timing.
In all honesty, maybe its a good thing because I am
already tired of the brother-versus-brother angle John
Harbaugh versus Jim Harbaugh and the comparisons
being made between Johns 5-year head coaching career for
the Ravens and Jims two years with the 49ers.
Im not writing that there isnt some interesting story
lines here but two weeks of this gets old very old very
quickly.
This is why I do not like the Super Bowl to be two weeks
later but I also understand that moolah as that immor-
tal American philosopher, Gomer Pyle, would exclaim:
Surprise! Surprise! Surprise! the driving force behind
this big event.
I also think that moving the Pro Bowl to fill in the week-
end between is a smart move, even though the NFL is now
talking about getting rid of it for lack of effort.
Well, if money is big, the TV ratings tell us not to get
rid of it.
By the way, did you know that the Ravens were
already trailing?
I discovered this when putting my column together this
week.
It seems that Move America Forward is having a contest
to see which teams fans donate more money to a most
worthy cause: care packages for our troops in Afghanistan.
These include items such as Oreo cookies, hot apple
cider, deodorant, sun block, etc.
Apparently, 49ers fans are in a substantial lead.
You can find more info at the groups web site.
As for my pick, I know you are all waiting with bated
breath but youll have to wait until my Pigskin Picks
Saturday; hopefully, I will have more luminaries making
their prognostication in our group than the usual three.
Alex Rodriguez is in the news again for being linked
to using PEDs, along with a few others in Major League
Baseball.
Ill be honest: I have never been a fan of the guy, even
before he came to The Evil Empire.
He admitted he has used them earlier this century for a
3-year period, so I give him credit for coming clean. Maybe
he was forced to but he still did so.
Just like with Ray Lewis above: I am willing to give him
the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise.
Say it aint so Ray!

MSJ caps season sweep with

70-64 win over Bluffton
By Ryan Schadewald
Sports
information assistant
CINCINNATI The
Mount St. Joseph Lions used
a 16-3 run to open the game
en route to a 70-64 victory
over the Bluffton University
mens basketball team on
Wednesday.
The visitors fell to
9-11 on the season, 5-8 in
Heartland Collegiate Athletic
Conference play. The
Beavers slipped to seventh
in the conference, moving
to the outside of the HCAC
Tournament picture with just
five games remaining.
MSJ not only went ahead
of Bluffton but the Lions
(7-13, 6-7 HCAC) now hold
an important head-to-head
tie-breaker over the Beavers
by virtue of their season
sweep.
Blufftons Dustin Kinn
(Alvada/New Riegel) began
the game with a deuce to
give the Beavers a 2-0 lead.
The Lions then put up 16 of
the next 17 points to take a
16-3 lead at the 13:59 mark
of the first half. The Beavers
answered with an 8-2 spurt
of their own. Thayne Recker
(Arlington) began the run
with a layup, followed by
deuces from Nate Chambers
(Miamisburg) and Recker and
a couple Kinn free throws,
cutting the home teams lead
to 18-11 at the 11:09 mark.
The Beavers were able to
cut the lead down to two
points late in the first half
on a couple Recker chip
shots and a tip-in from Ryan
Ebbeskotte (Fort Jennings/
Delphos Jefferson). A 3-ball
by David Mann put Mount
St. Joseph up 32-27 at the
half.
Mount St. Joseph was able
to stretch the lead to eight
points to start the second
half. After a layup by Kinn,
the Lions went on a 5-0 run
to extend their lead to 37-29
at the 17:51 mark of the sec-
ond half. Both teams contin-
ued to battle back and forth
throughout the second period
with the Lions maintaining a
6- to 10-point spread through
the first 12 minutes of the
second half.
Mount St. Joseph led
52-42 at the 10:24 mark,
when the Beavers decided
to make a run. Josh Fisher
(Rockford/Parkway) scored
seven straight points for the
visitors which cut the MSJ
lead to seven. Billy Taflinger
(Lima/Central Catholic)
followed with a fast-break
layup, making it 58-53 at the
7:00 mark of the second half.
After a pair of freebies by
Travis Combs for the Lions,
Will Pope (Somerville/Preble
Shawnee) added a deuce and
Fisher made a free throw to
cut the Lion lead to four with
5:32 left in the game.
After three straight points
for the Mount, Kinn drained a
jumper in the paint and Pope
was able to tip in an offensive
rebound which cut the deficit
to one point with 54 seconds
remaining. However, David
Mann locked the game up
with a clutch triple and 66-62
lead. His make led to plenty
of fouling and free throws as
MSJ sealed the sweep with a
70-64 victory.
The Beavers were led
by senior Josh Fisher, who
scored 18 points on 6-of-13
from the field and 6-for-9
at the charity stripe. Kinn
chipped in 14 points, hitting
5-for-6 from the floor. Pope
added 12 points and seven
boards in a losing effort.
Mount St. Joseph was
led by Mann, who scored 24
points and a game-high 12
rebounds.
Both teams shot 49 per-
cent from the floor. Bluffton
was 0-for-5 from beyond the
arc, while Mount St. Joseph
hit 4-for-16 (25 percent).
However, the Beavers shot
only 55.2 percent (16-for-29)
from the charity stripe, while
the Lions converted 84.2 per-
cent (16-of-19). The Beavers
finished with a 32-24 edge on
the glass.
Bluffton will be back in
action on Saturday when the
Beavers travel to Anderson,
Ind. The men are slated to
play at 4 p.m. following the
womens game at 2 p.m.
The Beavers will be back
home Feb. 9 as they welcome
Hanover at 3 p.m. in the
Sommer Center.

Agri-business
By James J. Hoorman
Assistant Professor
OSU-Extension
Putnam County
With Iowa and Illinois still dry from
the 2012 drought and relatively high
corn prices, local farmers are con-
sidering raising more corn this year.
University of Illinois Corn Specialist
Dr. Emerson Nafziger says that corn fol-
lowing drought corn usually produces
a good crop. Dr. Nafzigers remarks at
the Putnam County Agronomy Night
are summarized in the next three para-
graphs. With some possible carryover
nitrogen, less corn residue, and possibly
a little more water storage,corn after
drought stressed corn picks up some
advantages. This year, the corn got off
to an excellent start with a warm dry
spring, fast growth, excellent stands,
and low disease pressure. However, the
weather during pollination was criti-
cal and hot weather followed by low
moisture hurt corn growth (especially
the roots) and reduced corn pollination
(Nafziger, 2013).
In general, corn following soybeans
produced slightly higher yields than
corn after corn. No-Till corn generally
produced better than conventional tilled
corn, possibly due to more water stor-
age and deeper root penetration. Soil
compaction, poor soil structure, and
side wall compaction hurt corn yields in
2012 and led to some instances of flop-
py corn with inadequate root develop-
ment and lodging (Nafziger 2013).
Some advertised drought resistant
corn varieties do better but the gains
are generally marginal at 5 to 6 bush-
els per acre. Most corn has built in
traits for producing higher yields, even
under drought conditions. Yields tend
to maximize at a corn population of
35,000 seeds per acre and extra nitrogen
did not increase corn yields. Most corn
now needs about .75 pounds of nitrogen
per bushel compared to 1-1.2 pounds of
nitrogen per bushel required a decade
ago (Nafziger, 2013).
Dr. Peter Thomison, Ohio State
University Corn Specialist shares some
information for Ohio in the next three
paragraphs. The average state corn yield
this year was 122 bushels per acre.
Normal state corn yields are 160 to
165 bushels per acre. Dr. Thomison
remarked that there are more corn yield
differences within a maturity group than
between corn maturity groups, as much
as 50 bushels per acre. Early maturing
corn versus late maturing corn yield
about the same. The last two years, short
season corn out yielded the late matur-
ing corn due to more moisture at polli-
nation and faster dry down in the fall. In
a cold wet fall, the early maturing, short
season corn has an advantage over late
maturing, late season corn (Thomison,
2013).
New corn varieties have much better
stalk and lodging gene qualities than
previous corn varieties. The long-term
corn yield increase has been 1.8 bushel
gain per acre per year. Since 2000, the
new corn varieties have increased corn
yields by 3.3 bushels per year mainly
due to increased stalk strength and lodg-
ing resistance. However, the weather
also plays a factor in those corn yield
increases. For Ohio, Dr. Thomison rec-
ommends a corn population of 34,000
seeds with the state average being 30,000
seeds per acre. (Thomison, 2013).
Using double haploids and new
breeding gene splicing techniques,
corn breeders are developing new corn
hybrids much quicker. There is great
turnover in corn hybrids. Less than 27
percent of the corn hybrids last 2 years,
and less than 10 percent are still active
after three years (Thomison, 2013).
Transgenic genetically modified
(GMO) corn is the normal in the United
States with 88 percent of corn now
GMO versus non GMO. In Ohio, the
GMO rate is 76 percent possibly due to
the fact that there are some specialized
markets for Non GMO corn and a high
number of organic and Amish farmers
who use non GMO corn. Today, approx-
imately 60 percent of the GMO corn is
triple stacked with eastern corn borer
resistance, root worm resistance, and
roundup ready corn (Thomison, 2013).

By DAVID GINSBURG
NEW ORLEANS Tyrod Taylor is
the forgotten quarterback at the Super
Bowl.
Everyone knows the starters, of
course, Baltimores Joe Flacco and San
Franciscos Colin Kaepernick. They
even know about Alex Smith, who start-
ed for the 49ers until he was sidelined
with a concussion in November and
Kaepernick stepped in.
And Taylor? His resume can be
summed up on the top half of an index
card: Two years, no starts and 30 passes
25 of them in the Ravens mean-
ingless regular-season finale against
Cincinnati last month.
Thats because Flacco has started
every game during the past five seasons
and never has missed a down because of
injury or ineffectiveness.
Still, Taylor knows hes only one
play away from getting into the Super
Bowl and for that reason hes practicing
hard this week as Sundays champion-
ship game draws near.
There are so many situations
throughout the league where the next
guy is called in, so you cant look
at how many straight games Joe has
played without being injured, Taylor
said. You never know what can happen
at any second of the game. I have to be
ready to take over if that happens.
The 49ers are preparing for that situ-
ation, too. While Flacco is a traditional
pocket passer, Taylor is just as likely to
scoot downfield as throw the ball. He
ran for 65 yards in that game against
the Bengals; at Virginia Tech, he set a
school record for rushing yards by a
quarterback (2,196).
Actually, were working on (stop-
ping) the pistol and option in case he
gets in and in case they have him in cer-
tain packages, San Francisco defensive
tackle Justin Smith said. We worked on
what we do and how to stop him. I think
well be prepared for him if he gets in.
Taylor smiled when told that San
Francisco was taking his skill set into
account.
It definitely adds a little extra to
the game, he said. For them to be
prepared shows me its definitely some-
thing they have in the back of their
minds. I played against (San Francisco)
coach (Jim) Harbaugh my last game at
Virginia Tech, so he knows what Im
capable of doing. My job this week is to
prepare the defense and also to prepare
myself so if I have to go into the game,
Im ready.
That, essentially, is the job descrip-
tion of a backup quarterback whether
he was once a starter or has never been
anything but a second-stringer.
I dont know which situation is bet-
ter or worse, Alex Smith said. Were
just at different points in a career.
Whats this, his second year? Hes been
on a good team, obviously. Hes there
for a reason. Your job as a backup is to
be ready to go. Thats no different for
him or I. Thats our job.
It is a role Taylor takes seriously. He
isnt in the Big Easy this week to take
a stroll on Bourbon Street or munch on
beignets.
For now, Taylor is fine with his role.
The former sixth-round draft pick is
playing on a winner, earning a decent
paycheck and is appreciated by his
teammates.
Hes a great quarterback, man,
Ravens receiver Torrey Smith said. I
think a lot of people underestimated him
coming out of the draft. You think, how
did he even fall this far? Obviously, its
tough for him because of Joe but Tyrod
can play. Were both from Virginia and
Ive known him since high school. Im
happy hes on our team because he can
definitely do some damage. But he
understands how it works. Its a busi-
ness and you have to wait your turn.
The 24-year-old Taylor is willing to
be patient.
Of course I want to start but my
job is to continue to stay prepared,
he added. When the opportunity does
come or whatever playing time I get, I
have to continue to showcase my tal-
ent because other eyes are looking. But
right now, its all about whatever it takes
to win this game right here, this Super
Bowl. So thats my job this week.
Patrick Willis will carry on Lewis
No. 52 legacy: Two of the leagues most
imposing inside linebackers both happen
to wear No. 52.
This story is about the other one.
Patrick Willis of the San Francisco
49ers already has done plenty to prove
his is the dominant 52 on the left coast
and beyond, having been an All-Pro
in five of his six NFL seasons. After
enduring years of losing, he finally gets
to flaunt his talent on the NFLs biggest
stage at Sundays Super Bowl, where
hell meet up with you guessed it.
No. 52 of the Baltimore Ravens, retiring
Ray Lewis.
I think in a couple years, people are
going to come along and say, Is that 52
Patrick Willis? 49ers linebacker Aldon
Smith said. Hes his own guy. Hes
making his own name.
Aside from the number, Lewis and
Willis are as different as they come.
Lewis is emotional, loud and brash.
Willis is soft-spoken and happy to stay
behind the scenes.
Baltimore Ravens backup
QB Taylor ready for action
Kurilec leads Bluffton
to 67-52 win over
Mount St. Joseph
By Jordan Marbaugh
Sports informa-
tion assistant
BLUFFTON Bluffton
University womens basketball
team used a strong defensive
performance to take down
Mount St. Joseph, 67-52, on
Wednesday.
The Beavers improved to
10-10 on the season and 5-8
in the Heartland Collegiate
Athletic Conference as they
snapped a 3-game losing skid.
The loss dropped MSJ to 3-17
overall and 2-11 in the HCAC.
Sophomore Rachel DeBord
(Lebanon) opened the scoring
as she converted a layup off
an assist from Taylor Knight
(Perrysburg) just over 30 sec-
onds into the game. The Mount
got its first basket to tie the
game at two at the 16:42 mark.
The Beavers led 10-6 before
going on a 12-3 run that put
Bluffton up by a 22-9 count
midway through the first peri-
od.
Kylee Burkholder (West
Unity/Hilltop) ignited the spurt
with a putback of her own miss.
During the run, sophomore
Brenna Kurilec (Mt. Gilead/
Gilead Christian) chipped
in with six points. Bluffton
took a 33-25 lead into the
break following a Lion triple
with six ticks remaining. The
Bluffton bench contributed
16 points in the first half.
The Lions came roaring
out of the locker room, clos-
ing the gap to 33-30 with
18:57 remaining. A jumper by
Brooke Ruffer (Stryker) and
two free throws from Knight
slowed the Mount and pushed
the lead back to 37-30 with
16:49 left.
MSJ proved they would
not go away without a fight
as the scoreboard was 46-41,
Bluffton, with 8:47 to play.
Knight knocked down two
more charity tosses and
Kurilec got to the rack again,
putting Bluffton up 50-41 less
than a minute later. Clutch
free throw shooting down
the stretch from Ruffer and
Knight sealed the 67-52 vic-
tory, helping Bluffton earn a
season split with the Lions.

Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol
Writer thinks child
could grow up to be
mass murderer
Dear Annie: With the
recent events that have oc-
curred across the country
involving mass killings, this
has prompted me to ask a
question. What do you do if
you know someone you think
could end up in the news
involved in a mass killing?
What do you do with those
gut feelings?
I know someone who has
prompted me and others to
think, This guy
is a ticking time
bomb. This par-
ticular person is
still a child, but
one who displays
many signs of be-
ing severely trou-
bled. His parents
dont seem con-
cerned, but many
of us on the out-
side of this family
dynamic think this
child has serious
issues and could potentially
end up committing a horrible
crime.
So what do I do? The child
has never been in trouble. He
has diffculty in public situ-
ations and prefers to be by
himself. He shows a great
interest in knives and guns,
has very few friends, and has
been moved from multiple
schools because he didnt ft
in. Does this make him a po-
tential risk? And if so, what
do I do?
You hear interviews with
neighbors and friends who
say, He was a quiet kid. I
never thought he would do
something like this. Well, I
wouldnt be able to say that.
K.
Dear K.: The problem
with stopping such behavior
in advance is that there is no
way to reliably predict who
will commit such a crime.
Signs can include depression,
anger, drug or alcohol abuse,
lack of empathy and hurting
others. The angry kid who
likes to torture dogs and pull
the wings off of butterfies is
more likely to harm a human
being than the child who is
socially awkward, but it still
doesnt predict mass mur-
der. And easy access to guns
can create an opportunity for
tragedy that would otherwise
defuse in a less disastrous
way.
If you are in regular con-
tact with this child, the best
thing you can do is help him
develop empathy for others
and learn impulse control.
We also hope you can be his
friend.
Dear Annie: My husband
and I communicate with our
grandchildren regularly by
phone, text and email. We
have one adult grandchild
who lives in another state.
Through the years, we have
helped her emotionally, as
well as fnancially. But she
never returns our calls or
emails. We send gifts and
never hear from her.
We simply want to know
how shes doing and be a part
of her life. When I complain
to her mother, she makes ex-
cuses and says her daughter is
too busy. She also says grand-
parents arent as important to
young people these days.
I fnd these excuses dif-
fcult to swallow, especially
when I hear other grandpar-
ents talk about their grand-
kids. Are we expecting too
much? Disap-
pointed Grandpar-
ents
Dear Disap-
pointed: It is ab-
solutely not true
that grandparents
are less important
to this generation.
But young adults
have been known
to take their family
members for grant-
ed. Please continue
to stay in touch
regardless of the lack of re-
sponse. We think shell come
around eventually. However,
there is no excuse for not ac-
knowledging a gift. If it hap-
pens again, tell your grand-
daughter that her silence
indicates she isnt interested
in receiving any more pres-
ents. Feel free to stop sending
them.
Dear Annie: I read the let-
ter from RH, whose dog,
Buster, died and he wants
an identical dog with the
same name.
I am a veterinarian and
have seen many people ex-
perience a profound grief for
the loss of their beloved pet.
Many veterinary schools of-
fer free pet loss hotlines. I
also recommend he write an
obituary for Buster, de-
scribing his wonderful life,
and share it with those friends
and family who will under-
stand. When he is ready, he
can honor Busters memory
by forming a relationship
with a new dog who has a dif-
ferent name. Massachu-

Annies Mailbox
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 2013
Knowledge you gain in the year
ahead will prove to be of enormous
value. It is likely to
be the thing that will
tip the scales on a
major venture.
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 20-Feb. 19) --
Because youve been
in the thoughts of
someone dear to you and who resides
at a considerable distance, theres an
excellent possibility that youll get a
call from him or her.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20)
-- Its imperative that you keep quiet
about what youve been told in strict
confidence. If you promised that you
wouldnt breathe a word to anyone,
dont break your vow.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
-- The enthusiasm and optimism you
show will have a contagious effect on
your associates, which will help you
in return. You need others feedback
as much as they need your input.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) --
One of the reasons youre likely to do
better than most of your peers is that
youll be cognizant of the small but
significant details that others totally
ignore. Good for you.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) --
What makes life more comfortable
and enjoyable during this cycle
is associating with people whose
political and religious views parallel
yours. Theyll make you feel more at
ease.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) --
With your natural ability to ferret out
information that others are reluctant
to reveal, youll need to be especially
mindful to keep things to yourself.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) --
Because partnerships are favored,
you could find yourself involved
in several such arrangements for
different purposes. Each one should
work out fairly well.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) --
Follow the sage advice: A penny
saved is a penny earned. Cut corners
wherever you can, because small
amounts can add up to a hefty sum.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) --
Little things could take on special
significance, and your peers could
be making big judgments about you
based on small details. Fortunately,
youll give a good account of yourself.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)
-- Both your intuition and logic will
be especially keen at this point. Its a
good thing, too, because each will be
instrumental in helping you resolve
critical issues.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec.
21) -- A line of communication could
be opened to someone youve been
anxious to contact, though it may not
be an easy one. Be prepared to make a
concerted effort.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19) -- Do not get discouraged if your
achievements do not necessarily
measure up to your expectations. The
important thing is that youre moving
forward, even if its only one step at
a time.

Neighbors: Suspect in
Ala. standoff was violent
BY PHILLIP RAWLS
MIDLAND CITY, Ala. Jimmy Lee Dykes
moved to a rural Alabama neighborhood on a rut-
ted red clay road more than a year ago. It didnt
take long before he had developed a frightening
reputation as a volatile man with anti-government
views who threatened his neighbors at gunpoint
and was viciously violent to wandering pets.
Multiple neighbors said Dykes, a 65-year-
old retired truck driver, was the man suspected
of boarding a school bus full of children near his
home, killing the driver and taking one 5-year-old
boy hostage to open a standoff that entered its sec-
ond full day today.
The neighborhood near Midland City, popula-
tion 2,300, remained under siege after the Tuesday
shooting, with the suspect and child holed up in a
bunker-type shelter on the mans property that was
equipped with electricity, food and TV.
Today, dozens of police cars and rental cars that
had brought FBI agents to the site were parked
about the state highway at the clay roads entrance.
A large law enforcement truck also pulled up
before dawn to a staging area for law enforcement
agents that was lit by bright lights overnight.
At least one ambulance was parked nearby and
numerous television news satellite trucks also lined
up across the rural highway.
Homes on the road had been evacuated earlier
after authorities found what they believed to be a
bomb on the property. SWAT teams earlier had
taken up positions around the gunmans property
and police negotiators tried to win the kindergar-
teners safe release.
The situation remained unchanged for hours
as negotiators continued talking to the suspect,
Alabama State Trooper Charles Dysart told a news
conference late Wednesday. Earlier in the day,
Sheriff Wally Olson said that authorities had no
reason to believe that the child has been harmed.
At one point, authorities lowered medicine into the
bunker for the boy after his captor agreed to it.
The standoff began after school Tuesday after-
noon. Sheriff Wally Olson said the man shot the
bus driver several times when he refused to hand
over the child. The gunman then took the boy
away.
As far as we know there is no relation at all.
He just wanted a child for a hostage situation, said
Michael Senn, a pastor who helped comfort other
traumatized children after the attack.
The bus driver, Charles Albert Poland Jr., 66,
was hailed by locals as a hero who gave his life to
protect the 21 students aboard the bus. Authorities
say most of the students scrambled to the back of
the bus when the gunman boarded and said he
wanted two boys 6 to 8 years old.
But when the gunman went down the aisle,
authorities said, Poland put his arm out to grab
a pole near the front steps of the vehicle, trying
to block the suspect. Thats when authorities say
the driver was shot four times before the gunman
grabbed the child at random and fled.
Asked about Dykes, neighbors said he was
a man who once beat a dog to death with a lead
pipe, threatened to shoot children for setting foot
on his property and patrolled his yard at night with
a flashlight and a shotgun. He had been scheduled
to appear in court Wednesday morning to answer
charges he shot at his neighbors in a dispute last
month over a speed bump.
Mike and Patricia Smith, who live across the
street from Dykes and whose two children were on
the bus, said their youngsters had a run-in with him
about 10 months ago.
My bulldogs got loose and went over there,
Patricia Smith said. The children went to get them.
He threatened to shoot them if they came back.
Hes very paranoid, her husband said. He
goes around in his yard at night with a flashlight
and shotgun.
Another neighbor, Ronda Wilbur, said Dykes
beat her 120-pound dog with a lead pipe for com-
ing onto his side of the dirt road. The dog died a
week later.
He said his only regret was he didnt beat him
to death all the way, Wilbur said. If a man can
kill a dog, and beat it with a lead pipe and brag
about it, its nothing until its going to be people.
Dykes had been scheduled to appear in court
Wednesday to face a charge of menacing some
neighbors as they drove by his house weeks ago.
Claudia Davis said he yelled and fired shots at her,
her son and her baby grandson over damage Dykes
claimed their pickup truck did to a makeshift speed
bump in the dirt road. No one was hurt.
Before this happened, I would see him at sev-
eral places and he would just stare a hole through
me, Davis said. On Monday I saw him at a
laundromat and he seen me when I was getting in
my truck, and he just stared and stared and stared
at me.
In celebration of TV star Betty Whites birthday earlier in January, Vancrest Health-
care Center residents decided to throw her a party in true Vancrest style. The resi-
dents all wore birthday hats, enjoyed cake and punch and signed a birthday card for
her. They also all sent her a personal message that will be put into a video and sent to
her fan mail along with the birthday card.

Cameron makes
unexpected visit
to Libya
LONDON British Prime
Minister David Cameron
pledged to help Libyas police
and army today as he made
an unannounced visit to the
North African countrys capital,
Tripoli.
Cameron fresh off a visit
to Algeria, where he struck a
security partnership said
Britain was prepared to provide
training and advice to Libya
amid growing concerns over
security in the region.
His office said Cameron will
hold bilateral talks in Libya and
discuss how Britain can help
build a strong, prosperous,
democratic Libya. The talks
will explore what support and
expertise the U.K. can offer to
strengthen security and defeat
terrorism, Downing Street
added.
Camerons visit to the Libyan
capital comes just days after
Britains Foreign Office warned
of a potential threat against the
U.K. embassy in Tripoli.
Just before that, the
Foreign Office joined other
governments in urging their
citizens in Benghazi, Libyas
second largest city, to evacu-
ate in response to what was
described as an imminent
threat to Westerners.
The Foreign Office today
would not comment on the status
of those threats but said it was
taking appropriate measures.
Locals greeted Cameron as he
toured Tripolis famous Martyrs
Square amid tight security.
Cameron also visited a police
training center on the outskirts
of the capital, telling police
recruits it was very good to be
back. He last visited Libya in
September 2011.
Police: 1 dead in Ariz. shooting, suspect on loose
BY JACQUES
BILLEAUD
PHOENIX A gunman
opened fire at a Phoenix office
complex on Wednesday, kill-
ing one person, wounding
two others and setting off a
manhunt. Police warned the
public that he was armed
and dangerous.
Authorities identified the
suspect as 70-year-old Arthur
Douglas Harmon, who they
said opened fire at the end
of a mediation session. They
identified a man who died
hours after the late morning
shooting as 48-year-old Steve
Singer.
Police said a 43-year-old
man was listed in critical
condition and a 32-year-old
woman suffered non-life
threatening injuries.
We believe the two men
were the targets. It was not
a random shooting, said
Sgt. Tommy Thompson, a
Phoenix police spokesman.
Thompson said authorities
believe Harmon acted alone
and fled the scene in a car
after the 10:30 a.m. shooting.
Harmon allegedly shot at
someone who tried to fol-
low him after the shooting in
an attempt to get his license
plate number, according to
authorities.
Police didnt immedi-
ately release the names of
the wounded. But a Phoenix
law firm, Osborn Maledon,
said one of its lawyers, Mark
Hummels, was among the
wounded. The firm said he
was representing a client in a
mediation when he was shot.
According to court docu-
ments, Harmon was sched-
uled to go to a law office
in the same building where
the shooting took place for
a settlement conference in
a lawsuit he filed last April
against Scottsdale-based
Fusion Contact Centers LLC,
where Singer was the CEO.
The company had hired
him to refurbish office cubi-
cles at two call centers in
California, but a contract dis-
pute arose.
Fusion said Harmon was
paid nearly $30,000 under
the $47,000 contract. But the
company asked him to repay
much of the money when it
discovered that the cubicles
could not be refurbished,
according to the documents.
Roadside bomb kills 2 polio workers in NW Pakistan
BY HUSSAIN AFZAL
PARACHINAR, Pakistan
A roadside bomb killed
two Pakistani polio workers on
their way to vaccinate children
in a northwestern tribal region
near the Afghan border today,
an official said.
The two men were on their
way to Malikhel village as part
of the U.N.-backed anti-polio
campaign when the bomb hit
their motorcycle, said govern-
ment administrator Yousuf
Rahim. The attack the third
this week against polio work-
ers in Pakistan took place
in the Kurram region, a known
militant stronghold.
On Tuesday, gunmen rid-
ing on a motorcycle shot
and killed a policeman pro-
tecting a polio team in Gullu
Dheri village of Swabi dis-
trict in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
province. The polio workers
escaped unharmed in that
attack. In a separate incident
in the northwest on Tuesday, a
man wounded a polio worker
with an axe.
Rahim said it was not
immediately clear if the two
workers killed today were
the actual target of the bomb-
ing. Javed Husain, a doctor
at a hospital in the town of
Parachinar, said the slain men
were working as contractors
for the government-run anti-
polio program in the area.
No one has claimed respon-
sibility for the attacks but sus-
picion fell on Islamic militants.
Some of the militants oppose
the vaccination campaign,
accuse health workers of acting
as spies for the U.S. and claim
the polio vaccine is intended to
make Muslim children sterile.
Pakistan is one of only three
countries where the crippling
disease is endemic. The virus
usually infects children living in
unsanitary conditions; it attacks
the nerves and can kill or para-
lyze. As many as 56 polio cases
were reported in Pakistan dur-
ing 2012, down from 190 the
previous year, according to the
United Nations.
Most of the new cases in
Pakistan were in the northwest,
where the presence of militants
makes it difficult to reach chil-
dren.
In December, gunmen
killed nine polio workers in
similar attacks across Pakistan,
prompting authorities to sus-
pend the vaccination campaign
in the troubled areas. The U.N.
also suspended its field opera-
tions in December as a result of
the attacks, though it has since
resumed some activities.
Answers to Wednesdays questions:
Taco Bell, in 1996, placed full-page ads in six
major U.S. newspapers announcing it had purchased
the Liberty Bell to help cut the national debt. Its ad said
the national symbol would henceforth be known as the
Taco Liberty Bell. At noon on the day the ad appeared,
the company disclosed that it was just an April Fools
Day joke.
Brian Poole & the Tremeloes beat out the Beatles
when the two groups auditioned for a contract at the
London studios of Decca Records. Deccas decision
reportedly was based on location the Tremeloes were
from the London area, making them more accessible

patients.
The population of PNG
is approximately 7,013,800.
With nearly 1 percent of the
adult population testing posi-
tive for HIV or suffering with
AIDS, her work was cut out
for her.
I always felt their shame
and their helplessness, Sister
Rose said. Then God told
me, Dont feel it; do some-
thing about it. So I taught
myself more about it. We
didnt have TVs or radio, so
we didnt know a lot about
it.
Sister Rose was met with
resistance from doctors
because they were more con-
cerned with malaria, which
was killing more people than
AIDS, so she built her own
HIV/AIDS program.
There were only two
doctors in the whole country
interested, she said.
The sheriff of her parish
knew of two cases and he
asked her to go tell them they
had the virus. At first, Sister
Rose was apprehensive.
Those with the virus were
often ostracized, rejected by
their families and communi-
ties or even killed.
How was I going to find
these people without letting
everyone else know they
were sick? she asked herself.
So began her journey to
educate a nation on HIV/
AIDS and make those in the
last stages comfortable and
at peace.
They thought AIDS could
be transmitted by touch. They
were afraid of those who had
it and needed educated on
the fact their loved ones can
still live a good life and dont
have to be rejected, she said.
They dont have to live alone
or be outcasts.
Sister Rose dedicated the
rest of her time in PNG to
tracking down HIV/AIDS
patients, educating the popu-
lation on HIV/AIDS and how
it is transmitted and setting
up voluntary counseling and
testing centers.
Those centers were a
marvel for these people. They
lived in grass huts with bam-
boo walls and dirt floors and
these trailers and small hous-
es we built were wonderful to
them, Sister Rose said.
Oftentimes she would
track down someone who had
visited a testing center and
was found positive. She sat
with them and have a meal
with them to show others they
couldnt get the virus by just
being around them or eating
with them. She would even
trade food with them to show
it couldnt be transmitted that
way.
The longtime missionary
is now retired. She has been
a Sister of Notre Dame for 61
years, 47 of which she spent
in Papua New Guinea.
The Lord told me it was
time to come home, she said.
I didnt want to become a
burden on the other sisters
who still have so much work
to do there. If I would be
come sick or hurt, they would
have to take care of me.
Arriving back in the U.S.,
she found more culture shock
than when she arrived in
PNG.
It seems our values here
have changed, she said sadly.
Christianity doesnt seem as
strong. We are very material-
istic and focused on instant
gratification. We all need to
learn the gifts God has given
us to help others and see how
we can use them.
