Delphos, Ohio cyclist carried a flashlight. Car traffic on the bridge was busy, and slowed as it neared Manhattan. By late Tuesday, the winds and flooding inflicted by the fast-weakening Sandy had subsided, leaving at least 55 people dead along the Atlantic Coast and splintering beachfront homes and boardwalks from the mid-Atlantic states to southern New England. The storm later moved across Pennsylvania on a predicted path toward New York State and Canada. At the height of the disaster, more than 8.2 million See SANDY, page 10A

Superstorm Sandy

Region struggles to resume daily life

By ADAM GELLER The Associated Press NEW YORK Two major airports reopened and the floor of the New York Stock Exchange came back to life today, but across the river in New Jersey, the National Guard searched for flood victims and fires still raged two days after Superstorm Sandy. For the first time since the storm battered the Northeast, killing 55 people and doing billions of dollars in damage, brilliant sunshine washed over the nations largest city a striking sight after days of gray skies, rain and wind. It was clear that restoring the region to its ordinarily frenetic pace could take days and that rebuilding the hardest-hit communities and the transportation networks that link them together could take considerably longer. We will get through the days ahead by doing what we always do in tough times by standing together, shoulder to shoulder, ready to help a neighbor, comfort a stranger and get the city we love back on its feet, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said. The scale of the challenge could be seen across the Hudson River in New Jersey, where National Guard troops arrived in the heavily flooded city of Hoboken to help evacuate thousands still stuck in their homes. And new problems arose when firefighters were unable to reach blazes rekindled by natural gas leaks in the heavily hit shore town of Mantoloking. As New York began its second day after the megastorm, morning rush-hour traffic was heavy as people started returning to work. There was even a sign of normalcy: commuters waiting at bus stops. On the Brooklyn Bridge, closed earlier because of high winds, joggers and bikers made their way across the span before sunrise. One

DELPHOS The Delphos Senior Citizens Center is hosting open enrollment for Medicare Part D. Now through Dec. 7, Medicare recipients can change their health plan. After that date, they will have to wait a year before changing coverage. In 2013, drug coverages, premiums and co-pays will change after the first of the year. Outreach worker Alice Barnes Curth encourages all Medicare recipients to evaluate their health care plans. For example, coverage for insulin and heart medications may apply this year, but change the beginning of 2013, Curth emphasized. The difference between coverages may be $2,000$3,000. Ohioans covered by Medicare who want to choose a 2013 plan have many options: 100 percent of the people with Medicare have access to a Medicare Advantage plan that does not charge a premium; 33 Medicare Prescription Drug Plans (PDPs) are available; 83 percent of people with Part D have access to a plan with a lower premium than in 2011; 30 percent of people with Medicare Part D get Extra Help (also called the low-income subsidy, or LIS); 16 PDPs have $0 deductibles; $15.10 is the lowest monthly premium for a prescription drug plan; $62.40 is the lowest monthly premium for a prescription drug plan with coverage for generic drugs in the coverage gap; and 8 PDPs have a premium of $0 for people who qualify for Extra Help. When evaluating Part D Costs for 2013, there are a list of considerations: All plans have a dif-

ferent cost structure; Late enrollees may incur a 1-percent penalty for each month of delay; Those with limited incomes/resources may qualify for extra help (Limited Income SubsidyLIS) through the Social Security Administration; Average Monthly Premiums - $30; Annual Deductible $0-$325; Co-pays- 25 percent or flat co-pay amounts based on formulary; Coverage Gap (doughnut hole)- $2,970-$4,750 in total drug costs; Coverage Gap discounts: 52.5-percent discount on brand name medications and 21-percent discount on generic medications during the coverage gap; Discounts to increase each year until gap is closed in 2020; and Catastrophic Coverage - Approximately 5-percent co-pay after coverage gap. For information or to make an appointment with Curth, call 419-6921331. She is certified by the Ohio Senior Health Insurance Information Program (OSHIIP) to provide insurance counseling. If transportation is not available, seniors may call the center to schedule an in-home visit or transportation to and from the center to discuss plan coverages.

Adverse weather extends harvest timeline

BY STEPHANIE GROVES sgroves@delphosherald.com DELPHOS The recent adverse weather conditions have slowed Northwest Ohio farmers from taking off crops. Localized rain has extended the harvest by two weeks. Paulding County Agriculture & Natural Resources Director Jim Lopshire reported soybean yields from the low teens to 60- or 70 bushels-per-acre and attributed those metrics to later maturing varieties and timely rainfall. Many farmers in Putnam County have larger farms, a couple of hundred acres, and the off and on rain days have hampered their production. The weather has been very cyclic. Lopshire said corn yields have varied throughout the county with 60- to 140-bushel-per-acre counts. In most cases, soybean yields were much higher than expected, Lopshire said enthusiastically. Corn, on the other hand, was no surprise and fell into the range farmers anticipated. Jim Hoorman, director of the Putnam County Extension, said corn yields with ranges of 25-45 were from crops planted early, which suffered greatly from

Jim Lopshire, Paulding Counties Agriculture & Natural Resources Director the drought. Those in the 150-170-bushel-per-acre range, were located in eastern fields and received late summer rains. Some crops suffered hail damage and show signs of Diplodia ear rot, or white mold, which causes lightweight kernels, reducing yields and the nutritional value of the affected grain. The disease is most severe in fields planted to continuous corn, especially when the previous corn crop residues are left on the soil surface. Soybean yields further west ranged from 20 to 70 and those in the east

varied from 50 to 60 bushel per acre. Overall, soybean crops fared well, especially those in the eastern counties, receiving much needed late summer rain in July and August, Hoorman explained. Van Wert County Extension Director Curtis Young said operations on Route 30 and running corn were not affected by the on and off rains. The abundant rain did promote an exceptionally good soybean yield, with averages of 60 to 70 bushels per acre and much larger bean seeds. Farmers were pleasantly surprised with corn yields averaging 120 bushels per acre. Young explained, Improved hybrids with greater drought tolerance attributed to the higher quotas. Young also expressed a concern for the counties popcorn crop, which have weakened root systems due to the drought and the heavy rains. Given the intense weather on the horizon [Hurricane Sandy], we may have severe lodging, Young emphasized Monday. The snapping off of stalks close to the ground causes the plant to lay over impeding harvest times and yields.

Mother: Execution brings relief, not closure

By KRISTI EATON and DIRK LAMMERS The Associated Press SIOUX FALLS, S.D. Tina Curl was so eager to see her 9-year-old daughters killer executed Tuesday night that she couldnt even take her seat in the witness room. I was right up to the glass, she told The Associated Press after the execution. I wanted to see it up close. Donald Moeller, 60, received a lethal injection at the South Dakota State Penitentiary in Sioux Falls on Tuesday night as punishment for the 1990 kidnap, rape and killing of young Becky OConnell. Curl, who said Moellers death brought her relief but not closure, had been steadfast in her wish to watch Moeller die, even raising funds to cover the expenses to make the 1,400-mile trip from her home in New York state to Sioux Falls for the execution. Late Tuesday she said she will never return to South Dakota. Moeller kidnapped Becky from a Sioux Falls convenience store where shed gone to buy sugar to make lemonade at home. He drove her to a secluded area near the Big Sioux River, then raped and stabbed her. Beckys naked body was found the next day; investigators said her throat had been slashed. Curl said she wanted to know details from Moeller about the crime. She had written him in prison, but he didnt respond. She was hoping to get that information Tuesday night in Moellers final statement. But when asked if he had any last words, Moeller replied, No sir, and then looked up and said, Theyre my fan club? Moeller then was administered a lethal injection of pentobarbital and took about eight heavy breaths before his breathing stopped and Moeller turned slightly pink. Moellers eyes remained open as his skin turned ashen, then purple. The coroner then checked for vital signs, and Moeller was pronounced dead at 10:24 p.m. Gov. Dennis Daugaard said he hoped the execution

would bring some peace to Beckys family and he commended Warden Doug Weber and his staff for their professionalism in planning this states second execution in less than a month. I take no pleasure in his death, but there are those who are so vile that executions are warranted, Daugaard said in a statement. Moeller initially was convicted in 1992, but the state Supreme Court overturned it, ruling that improper evidence was used at trial. He was again convicted and sentenced to die in 1997. The state Supreme Court affirmed the sentence, and Moeller lost appeals at the state and federal levels. Though he fought his conviction and sentence for years, Moeller in July he said he was ready to accept death as the consequence of his actions. He admitted for the first time in court that he killed the girl. But even as Moeller insisted he was ready to die, several motions were filed on his behalf to stop the execution despite his protests. Earlier this month, a federal judge dismissed a pending suit challenging South Dakotas execution protocol after Moeller insisted he wanted no part of it. Moeller also distanced himself from a motion filed by a woman with loose family ties who argued that his decades in solitary confinement had made him incapable of voluntarily accepting his fate. That motion was dismissed Monday. Moellers execution came just two weeks after the Oct. 15 execution of Eric Robert for killing South Dakota prison guard Ronald R.J. Johnson during a failed escape attempt.

Ohio teachers keep jobs despite prank

BRIEFS

for college President Obama, Bill Dems make pushstates voters in swing Clinton set Ohio stops
By JOHN SEEWER The Associated Press By DAN SEWELL The Associated Press CINCINNATI President Barack Obama is resuming his storm-delayed chase to win Ohio with help from former President Bill Clinton, while Republicans are putting together a huge rally for Friday evening in suburban Cincinnati. The Obama campaign said the Democratic president on Friday will campaign at the Franklin County Fairgrounds in central Ohio, followed by a previously announced rally in Springfield and an afternoon rally in Lima. The western Ohio stops are both at high schools. Obama had canceled two Ohio campaign visits, including a rally tody in Cincinnati, and rescheduled the Springfield rally while he dealt with the needs and federal response after Superstorm Sandy pounded the East Coast. Clinton will work Ohio for Obama on Thursday, with rallies in Toledo, Akron and Chillicothe. Details will be announced later. The latest Quinnipiac University/New York Times/ CBS News poll released today indicated Obama was hanging on to a lead over Republican Mitt Romney in Ohio, considered likely to be pivotal in deciding their race. The 5-point lead, 50-45, was unchanged from the schools Oct. 22 poll. Pollsters interviewed 1,110 likely Ohio voters Oct. 23-28, with a margin of error of plus or minus 2.9 percent. Obama continued to hold a large lead among women voters in that Ohio poll, with Romney doing better among males and independent voters. Meanwhile, the campaign of Romney and running mate Paul Ryan said they will be joined by an expanded list of big-name Republicans and star athletes Friday at their rally in the northern Cincinnati suburb of West Chester. Besides Romneys wife Ann and children and Ryans wife Janna, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, past presidential contenders John McCain, Rudy Giuliani and Rick Perry, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, Ohio Sen. Rob Portman, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, and several other Republican leaders and officeholders are scheduled to be at the rally in the heavily GOP area. Athletes on the bill: golf star Jack Nicklaus and Olympians Scott Hamilton and Derek Parra. Romney and Ryan have focused earlier appearances this week on storm relief, with Romney gathering supplies Tuesday in Kettering, Ohio. The Quinnipiac poll also continued to show Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown leading his hotly contested race with state Treasurer Josh Mandel. The poll put Brown with a 51-42 percent lead. And it also showed Ohio Gov. John Kasichs approval ratings have risen. The poll indicated a 49 percent job approval rating, to 37 percent who disapprove, for the firstterm Republican governor. The poll also indicated that 52 percent of likely voters surveyed said Ohios economy is getting better. Thats good news for Kasich, but also potentially helpful to the incumbent president. TOLEDO President Barack Obamas campaign cant count on a wave of college students to simply show up at the polls on Election Day like they did four years ago. So its making sure young people in swing states are voting now, ferrying them on charter buses and golf carts to early voting sites and throwing pizza parties near campus polling places. At college rallies around battleground Ohio, Obama has taken to spelling out the exact addresses of early voting locations. Everybody knows where that is, he told students at Ohio University a few weeks ago. Buses were lined up steps from where he spoke at Ohio State University in early October. Grab your friends, grab everybody in your dorm, Obama said. There are buses around the corner that can get you there and back right now. So dont wait. The question is will it be enough to make up for what appears to be slipping enthusiasm among young people who backed the president by a 2-to-1 margin in 2008 and helped him win the White House. Pollsters expect a smaller turnout among those in the 18- to 29-year-old age group from four years ago when they voted in larger numbers than in recent years. One reason for the drop is that the election of the nations first black president in 2008 was a historic event. And there seems to be disillusionment

STATE/LOCAL

DAYTON (AP) Four Ohio teachers will keep their jobs after being accused of participating in a student Homecoming prank. The Dayton Daily News reports that the Belmont High School teachers have been on paid leave for three weeks while the Dayton district investigated an allegation that they drove students off campus to participate in the prank. They agreed to a settlement Tuesday allowing them to keep their jobs. District spokeswoman Jill Moberley said the teachers drove three students to a rival high school Oct. 3 for a prank involving placing plastic forks in the lawn and paper cups on a fence. A report said a Belmont student was punched in the face during the prank. Students arent allowed in employees personal vehicles without advance permission.

Glitch delays delivery of Ohio voter records

COLUMBUS (AP) A glitch in the transfer of change-of-address records is being blamed for a small number of Ohio voters absentee ballot requests possibly being rejected by mistake. The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer reports that the problem can be traced to a delay transferring some updated address records from the state Bureau of Motor Vehicles to Secretary of State Jon Husteds office. Husted just this week sent about 33,000 updated registration records to local elections officials. Because of the delay, an unknown number of absentee ballot applications had been rejected because county elections officials didnt have some voters current addresses. Officials in Cuyahoga County which includes Cleveland said 71 such applications were rejected. Those voters will be sent new absentee ballots. Numbers werent available for other counties.

COLUMBUS (AP) A former treasurer to more than a dozen Ohio charter schools soon learns his fate in an embezzlement scheme involving some $470,000 in federal education funds taken from four schools over six years.

COLUMBUS (AP) Columbus officials are so concerned about the burgeoning Internet cafe industry that they called a public meeting to talk about how to deal with it. The Columbus Dispatch reports that a city council committee convened the public hearing Tuesday to discuss the impact of Internet cafes on the community especially as it relates to problem gamblers. An official of a Columbus addiction treatment center told council members that about 40 percent of the people seeking help for problem gambling frequent the unregulated gaming parlors. The Columbus area has 37 of the states 819 Internet cafes.

Central Ohio officials grapple with Internet cafes

with politics compared with four years ago when young voters were filled with optimism. Young people are still solidly behind Obama, but a drop in numbers could make a big difference in states where the race is tight. Thats why college campuses have become a popular setting for candidate visits as both sides vie to sway young voters to their side. Republicans are trying to put a dent into the Democrats advantage on campuses with students concerned about their job prospects. GOP vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan has been making frequent stops at colleges, portraying himself as a fresh face more in tune with young people and tailgating at football games in Ohio. Volunteers at Obama events have registered thousands of young people to vote while they waited to see the president. Chris Hoffman, chairman of the college Democrats at the University of WisconsinMadison, said more than 1,000 people were registered at an Obama rally in early October, helping them surpass a goal of 8,000 this fall. Freshmen at the College of William & Mary in Virginia received voter registration forms in packets when they showed up on campus, and students are being encouraged to vote early, said James Lewis, spokesman for the Virginia Young Democrats. If we turn out the college campuses, we win, he said. But young voters, he said, need a little extra push to vote.

Moral indignation is in most cases two percent moral, forty-eight percent indignation, and fifty percent envy. Vittorio De Sica, Italian movie director (1901-1974)

Storms cost may hit $50B; rebuilding to ease blow

The Associated Press WASHINGTON Superstorm Sandy will end up causing about $20 billion in property damages and $10 billion to $30 billion more in lost business, according to IHS Global Insight, a forecasting firm. In the long run, the devastation the storm inflicted on New York City and other parts of the Northeast will barely nick the U.S. economy. Thats the view of economists who say a slightly slower economy in coming weeks will likely be matched by reconstruction and repairs that will contribute to growth over time. The short-term blow to the economy, though, could subtract about 0.6 percentage point from U.S. economic growth in the OctoberDecember quarter, IHS says. Retailers, airlines and home construction firms will likely lose some business. The storm cut power to more than 8 million homes, shut down 70 percent of East Coast oil refineries and inflicted worse-than-expected damage in the New York metro area. That area producThe Associated Press es about 10 percent of U.S. economic output. New York City was all but closed off by car, train and air. The superstorm overflowed the citys waterfront, flooded the financial district and subway tunnels and cut power to hundreds of thousands. Power is expected to be fully restored in Manhattan and Brooklyn within four days. The New York Stock Exchange will reopen for regular trading today after being shut down for two days. Theres no evidence that the shutdown had any effect on the financial system or the economy. But Jim Paulsen, chief strategist at Wells Capital Management, said further delays might have rattled consumers and dampened their spending. Its about confidence, Paulsen said. Were watching these horrific images of the storm, and people are thinking whether they should ahead with that big purchase ....It doesnt do any good to have another day with headlines saying the U.S cant figure out how to open its stock exchange. Most homeowners who

DEAR EDITOR, Although I agree 100 percent with everything else Laura Peters said in the article, which appeared on page 1 of the Oct. 26, 2012, issue of the Delphos Herald, except her comment, Breast cancer isnt considered a life-threatening disease anymore. Theyre calling it a chronic illness. I dont know who they are who told her this and maybe it was to put her mind at ease but that is totally not true. I was diagnosed with Stage 4 breast cancer of a more rare type that doesnt always show on a mammogram or until it is an advanced stage. Stage 5, you die. I had surgery, a year of very aggressive chemo from which I was told may take 10 years to recover, if ever completely, and 2 1/2 months of daily radiation. Breast cancer or any type of cancer is a serious and sometimes life-threatening or fatal disease. It should not be minimized or taken lightly. Let me share the most current information on breast cancer: BreastCancer.org About 39,520 women in the U.S. were expected to die in 2011 from breast cancer, though death rates have been decreasing since 1990 especially in women under 50. These decreases are thought to be the result of treatment advances, earlier detection through screening, and increased awareness. For women in the U.S., breast cancer death rates are higher than those for any other cancer, besides lung cancer. Womens Wellness Center, St. Ritas Medical Center, Lima One woman dies from breast cancer every twelve minutes in the U. S. Breast cancer is the leading cause of death among women 35-54 years of age. Cancer is the No. 2 cause of death in the U. S. Recurring cancer may not be breast cancer or the type of cancer a person initially had. American Cancer Society (cancer.org) Cancer Facts & Figures 2012 report by the American Cancer Society An estimated 229,060 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected in 2012, of which 39,920 people will die. An additional estimated 63,300 new cases of non-invasive breast cancer are expected to occur among women in 2012. Please dont trivialize the seriousness of breast cancer or any type of cancer. Wonderful advancements have been and continue to be made in the field of cancer treatment but it is still a life-threatening and often fatal disease. Survivors need to stress that it is a life-threatening disease and should be considered as such. Everyone needs an annual mammogram and to do monthly self-exams. Like Mrs. Peters, I feel fortunate to be a survivor but you can only be a survivor when something has threatened your life, not just been chronic. Debbie Mayes Delphos

Doyle, division manager, in a letter to Ed. Becker, station manager.

IT WAS NEWS THEN

WASHINGTON (AP) Seeking to project command in a crisis, President Barack Obama told storm-stricken residents along the East Coast that America is with you but warned that the disaster is not yet over. As the countdown to Election Day reached the one week mark, Obama immersed himself Tuesday in his official duties. He convened conference calls with state and local officials, held briefings in the White House Situation Room and dropped by Red Cross headquarters in Washington. My instructions to the federal agencies has been, Do not figure out why we cant do something; I want you to figure out how we do something, Obama said. Theres no excuse for inaction at this point. Obama said there still were risks of flooding and downed power lines and called the storm heartbreaking for the nation. The White House also announced that Obama was scrapping a third consecutive day of campaigning and instead would travel to New Jersey today to view the devastation from superstorm Sandy. His tour guide was to be New Jerseys Republican governor, Chris Christie, a supporter of GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney. Christies political affiliations, however, didnt stop him from showering praise on Obama for the presidents response to the huge storm that battered his state and several others. The president has been all over this and he deserves great credit, Christie told MSNBCs Morning Joe. Ive been on the phone with him, like I said, yesterday personally three times. He gave me his number at the White House, told me to call him if I need anything, and he absolutely means it. Its been very good working with the president.

Romney, Obama, talk Sandy week before election

WASHINGTON Republican presidential challenger Mitt Romney edged back into active campaigning on Tuesday while President Barack Obama stayed close to the White House, rival candidates calibrating their responses to superstorm Sandy and the misery it inflicted on millions. In a close race with one week to run, both men appealed for donations for relief agencies rather than their own campaign treasuries. This is a tough time for millions of people ... But America is tougher, the president said during a brief visit to the American Red Cross, where he warned of more storm damage to come yet sought to reassure victims. He said he wanted no bureaucracy, no red tape to interfere with recovery, and suggested the military might be able to help in view of the enormity of the damage. Romney, too, spoke of concern for storm victims. A lot of people hurting this morning, he told several hundred supporters who were collecting supplies for victims of the storm that ravaged parts of the Eastern Seaboard on Monday before moving inland overnight. Were looking for all the help we can get for all the families that need. The race for the White House was hardly on hold. Both campaigns pushed their supporters to vote early, and millions of them did. In Florida, election officials said more than 2.2 million ballots had been cast by absentee mail-in ballots or in person as of Monday night, a total approaching 20 percent of the electorate. Ubiquitous polls offered little clarity. Many showed a statistically insignificant 1 or 2 percentage-point margin for one candidate or the other, and individual battleground state surveys were close. That made the storm-driven interlude even more delicate as the two campaigns sought to execute late-campaign strategies without appearing insensitive to the enormity of the loss in New York, New Jersey and elsewhere. With the incumbency at his disposal, Obama received a briefing on the storm, presided over a telephone conference call with governors and mayors from affected areas and arranged a trip today to New Jersey, where Republican Gov. Chris Christie has praised his management of the storm disaster. Obamas limousine ride to

suffered losses from flooding wont be able to benefit from their insurance policies. Standard homeowner policies dont cover flood damage, and few homeowners have flood insurance. But Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac said they will offer help to borrowers whose homes were damaged or destroyed, who live in designated disaster areas and whose loans the mortgage giants own or guarantee. Among other steps, mortgage servicers will be allowed to reduce the monthly payments of affected homeowners or require no payments from them temporarily. Across U.S. industries, disruptions will slow the economy temporarily. Some restaurants and stores will draw fewer customers. Factories may shut down or shorten shifts because of a drop in customer demand. Some of those losses wont be easily made up. Restaurants that lose two or three days of business, for example, wont necessarily experience a rebound later. And money spent to repair a home may lead to less spending elsewhere.

WASHINGTON Predictable as rain, the race card has surfaced just in time to stir up electoral passions, justify outcomes and explain away inconvenient truths. Just days from Election Day, the zeitgeist belched up one of its least attractive and least defensible memes. (Was it the weather?) Pre-emptive theories, in no particular order, include: Colin Powell endorsed Barack Obama because they are both black (according to Romney surrogate John Sununu); if Obama loses Florida, North Carolina and Virginia, all of which voted for him in 2008, the old Confederacy will be restored (Daily Beast commentator Andrew Sullivan); Americans still harbor racial bias even if they dont know it (recent online poll, Associated Press). Anyone reading headlines related to the poll might infer that white Americans are biased against black Americans. Extrapolating, given the current election season, it follows that if some voters prefer Romney, it is because Obama is AfricanAmerican. But a review of the poll reveals something not quite so definitive or sinister. Overall, the findings suggest that most Americans are moderate, fairminded and for the most part dont see things one way or the other based on race. Some of the questions

Sorry, dealers all out of race cards

the Red Cross took him only a few blocks from the White House, but he was assured of national news coverage when he spoke. Romney, too, was in public during the day, although his appearance was a blend of the political and the nonpartisan. He didnt mention Obama in his brief remarks, but aides showed a campaign video on large screens inside the arena before he arrived. I will devote every waking hour of my energy to getting America strong again. Thats what an American president has to do, he says in it. Standing in front of tables where campaign volunteers had neatly lined up toothpaste, diapers, canned food and fleece blankets, he said: We have heavy hearts as you know with all the suffering going on in a major part of our country, he said, referring to the storm. Afterwards, he loaded relief supplies into a waiting truck. Romney said he believes state and local governments should have primary responsibility for emergency cleanup, and refused Tuesday to answer repeated questions from reporters about how he would run the Federal Emergency Management Agency if he wins the election.

Point of View
themselves, on the other hand, were unnecessarily provocative and biased. That is, their design was based on an assumption of racial bias. For example, participants in the AP online poll were asked whether they agree or disagree with the following statements: Irish, Italians, Jewish, and other minorities overcame prejudice and worked their way up. Blacks should do the same without special favors. What kind of question is this? Who doesnt believe that everyone should work his or her way up? The underlying assumption is blatantly racist, implying as it does that blacks dont work and do expect special favors. It is heartening that the majority, perhaps perceiving the trap, neither strongly agreed nor disagreed. Another statement read: Its really a matter of some people just not trying hard enough; if blacks would only try harder, they could just be as well off as whites. Why not just ask people when they stopped beating their children? The lengthy poll posed

similar questions about other races and ethnicities. I selected these two because they were among the most egregiously biased and were most pertinent to the current election. It should be noted that most of those polled expressed a preference for Obama to win on Nov. 6, even though the figures have dipped somewhat since 2010, when the AP polling began. Oh, and most identified themselves as white Christian Democrats (though not necessarily born-again) and most were from the South. So much for the racist-Republican Confederacy, which never dies in the eyes of some political commentators. Sullivan, declaring a Cold Civil War, found fascinating the reconstitution of the Confederate states should Romney win the three previously mentioned. But the obvious implication, Sullivans protests notwithstanding, is that people who vote for Romney in those states are necessarily racist. What else could he have meant by mentioning the Confederacy in the context of a black incumbent president being rejected by three Southern states that previously embraced him? Operative words: previously embraced him. What happened? Did all those people who voted for Obama in 2008 suddenly become racist? Or have they lost confidence in Obama four years later? Obama had a 70 percent approval rating

early in his administration. Did all those people suddenly become racist? We are not a nation naive enough to think race plays no part in our perceptions and responses. And where there are humans, there will be racists. But this nation also elected an African-American as its president. By an overwhelming majority, Americans like him and wanted him to succeed. If Obama loses, it will be his own un-doing. Meanwhile, no one questions why 95 percent of blacks support the president. Is it racial? Or is it simply that most AfricanAmericans happen to be Democrats? Sununu implied the former, hinting that Powell chose Obama out of racial loyalty. I wish Sununu hadnt gone there. Had Powell endorsed Romney, hed be a GOP hero, just as he is to Democrats who have managed to overlook his convincing support for the weapons of mass destruction hypothesis in Iraq. So it goes. But even the netherworld of politics should have standards. To pre-emptively label people racist for favoring a candidate who happens to be white, and otherwise advancing a narrative that will create only racial animus should Obama lose, is implicitly biased, unfair and a breach of good faith. Stop it.

Family meets daughter Elizabeths pen pal

BY LOVINA EICHER Our six youngest children left for school at 7 a.m. This is the third day now that Loretta has taken the regular bus. She can make it all day at school without her wheelchair, although when she comes home she is ready to rest. The handicapped bus has been picking her up since her surgery six weeks ago. Her braces will be ready Tuesday and that is also when her therapy begins. This has been an extra busy week. We have been painting the living room ceiling and walls. We moved all the furniture over to the dining area. After all the painting was done, we moved everything back into the living room giving it a thorough cleaning in the process. Sister Emma and daughter Elizabeth assisted us with our work. Emma and I painted while Susan and Elizabeth washed all the dishes in my cupboard, cleaned furniture and floors. Now today, Susan and I will work on putting more things back in place, including putting all the books back in my bookcase. We had very nice weather to do the painting. Temperatures were in the 70s and it was cold and rainy. The thermometer shows 45 degrees. Looks like todays laundry will be hung on the lines in the basement. We will wait to paint the dining room and kitchen until I can get everything organized again. Wednesday evening, daughter Elizabeths pen pal, Sharon, from Dayton, Va., along with her parents, Uncle, Aunt, and cousins stopped in to meet Elizabeth and all of us. We had a nice visit with them. They are readers of this column. It was interesting to talk and compare our ways of life. They are Old Order Mennonites and also have horse and buggy as their transportation. Those families are dairy farmers. The children were glad for the bucket of monster cookies that they brought. Sharons mother, Lucille, gave me a rug she weaved herself. It is very nice and I already have it at the front door. It will be useful as I use a lot of rugs with this many feet going in and out every day. We are hoping to be able to go to Sugarcreek, Ohio, in the near future to visit Joes Uncle Solomon. Solomon is in the hospital after breaking quite a few bones after falling 11 feet at work. Our prayers are for him to have a complete and speedy recovery. I would also like to visit Aunt Lovina whom I was named after. She also had a difficult summer having a heart attack. She had to have two stents put in. We wish her better health in the future. Joes Uncle and Aunt, John and Susie, have always been kind to offer us a place to sleep when we come to Ohio so we might take them up on their offer. Joe has a sister, brother and more uncles and aunts living in that area so hopefully we can see everyone if our plans work out. The firemen were at school this week giving the children lots of good advice about fires. Son Kevin, 7, has been telling all of us what we should do if there is a fire. This is a good thing for children to know but we just

OTTAWA HILLS The Kalidas girls soccer team came out a little flat as they squared off against Swanton in a Division III regional semifinal contest at Ottawa Hills High School Tuesday night. The early jitters didnt last long. Once the LadyCats fired off a couple of shots, they dominated the Bulldogs in posting a 4-0 win at Norm Niedermeier Field. The win sends Kalida (190-1) to the Division III regional finals Saturday afternoon against either Doylestown Chippewa or Ontario at a site to be determined. The Chippewa-Ontario contest was postponed Tuesday and will be played Thursday. Swanton (11-8-1) came out the aggressor as they were able to keep the ball on the Kalida defensive side of the field. Once the LadyCats were able to get a couple of runs on the Bulldog goal, it helped them relax and play their game. The first couple of minutes, we were a little flat, Kalida coach David Kehres said. Swanton had the possession of the ball and we were like come on girls; lets get it together. It took us about 10 minutes and once we got that first goal, everyone was fired up. Kalidas first two goals came after Swanton goalie Jenna Carr was unable to handle shots on goal by Kalida. Senior Summer Holtkamp scored the LadyCats first goal as she was there to pick up a rebound that Carr could not handle with 19:59 left in the half. Fellow senior Skylar Basinger chased down a long pass and went at the Bulldog goalie as she fired a shot

Kalida senior Summer Holtkamp draws a lot of attention from Swanton Tuesday night in their Division III regional semifinal on the turf of Ottawa Hills High School. The LadyCats posted a 4-0 shutout to advance to Saturdays 3 p.m. finals versus the Ontario/ Doylestown Chippewa winner at a site TBD. that Carr knocked down and had roll to her right, where Holtkamp got a foot on the ball and pushed it into an open net. Just over seven minutes later, Kalida took advantage of another loose ball to go up 2-0. Sophomore Jackie Gardner got a run at the Swanton goal and fired a shot that Carr once again knocked down. Freshman Brittany Kahle was there to pick up the loose ball and put it in the net with 12:23 left in the half. We always tell the girls they need to say hi to the goalie, follow up the shot when someone takes a shot because you never know if they are going to bobble it, Kehres said. We told them that again tonight because of the ground being wet, the ball was going to be slippery; it might skip; we told them to follow that shot up. Thats how we got our first two goals because we followed it up; thats what we practice. The plan worked to perfection. Although the Wildcats had a 2-0 halftime lead, Kehres knew they needed another goal or two as no lead is safe in the tournament. I have a lot of confidence in my defense, Kehres continued. But you never know how things are going to work out in the second half. You dont know what kind of weather to expect the second half, (like) if the wind is going to pick up and play a factor. The defense came ready to play tonight and we played stellar. Im proud of these girls; this is a great win for these girls. Gardner scored a pair of second-half goals as Carr, once again, had trouble han-

Bluffton volleyball season comes to an end at Rose-Hulman TERRE HAUTE, Ind. - The Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology ended Blufftons bid for a fifth consecutive berth in the Heartland Conference semifinals when the Engineers wrapped up a straight-set victory on Tuesday. Rose advances to play #2 seed Transylvania University at Mount St. Joseph on Saturday. The Beavers finished their 2012 season with a solid 17-14 record. The first set went back-andforth with neither squad able to open more than a two-point lead after being tied 12-12. Nine Bluffton hitting errors in the opener allowed RHIT to take set number one. The Engineers opened a commanding 20-7 advantage in the second set. Bluffton rallied with 10 of the next 12 points but it was too little, too late as Rose held on for a 25-19 win. The home team used a 10-1 jag midway through the final set to power the Engineers to another 26-24 victory despite five kills from freshman Kendra Parmenter (Grove City) and four Heather Schierer (Crescent Spring,

Ky./St. Henry) spikes. Parmenter (.379 hitting percentage) and Schierer led the Bluffton front line with 14 and 10 kills, respectively. Freshman middle Jenny Brown (St. Marys/Memorial) was again sensational, pounding seven kills with just one error for a .462 hitting percentage. Setting up the Bluffton spikers was freshman Mackenzie Lauber (Mansfield/Madison) who tallied 34 assists. Schierer picked up a teamhigh 12 digs for her fifth career double-double number in her final outing as a Beaver. Lauber just missed out on a double-double with nine digs, while juniors Lindsay Krohn (Marysville, Ind./New Washington) and Hailey Phillips (Malinta/Patrick Henry) chipped in with eight and seven digs, respectively. Krohn and Lauber both served up a pair of aces. Senior Brooke Distel (Carey) finished her final match with two block assists and five kills. The Beavers struggled to keep the ball in play, tallying 20 hitting errors compared to just nine for the home team. Rose put together a .292 hitting percentage, over 100 points higher than Bluffton (.183 hit-

COLLEGE ROUNDUP

The Associated Press With much of the Northeast in the early stages of recovering from Superstorm Sandy, the NFL and NBA plan to carry on with their schedules. The New York City Marathon is hoping that the course will be clear by Sunday and runners will be able to get to the starting line in Staten Island. The NBAs season-opening games Tuesday night in Miami, Los Angeles and Cleveland all tipped off on time. There was some concern about whether Philadelphia would be able to host its opener today against the Nuggets. However, the NBAs announced on Twitter that the Nets first game at their new Brooklyn home against the crosstown-rival Knicks on Thursday will go as scheduled at 7 p.m. despite the lack of public transportation to the Barclays Center. The biggest challenge for the New York City Marathon on Sunday could be getting to the start, not the finish. Mayor Michael Bloomberg said the race is still on but flying in runners from out of town will be tricky and there may not be subway service to get everyone to the starting line. In the NFL, Steelers coach Mike Tomlin says he is focusing on ways to stop Eli Manning and not whether the storms aftermath will affect Sundays game in New York against the defending Super Bowl champion Giants.

BASEBALL Pittsburgh centerfielder and San Diego third baseman Chase Headley were among nine players who won Gold Gloves for the first time. Baltimore shortstop J.J. Hardy also was in the first-time group. The Orioles were the only team with three winners, with centerfielder Adam Jones and catcher Matt Wieters also being picked by major-league managers and coaches. St. Louis catcher Yadier Molina and Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira each won for the fifth time. Angels center fielder Mike Trout didnt get chosen despite a season full of sensational catches. The San Francisco Giants were shut out after playing great defense to win the World Series. Pitcher Jake Peavy and the Chicago White Sox agreed to a $29 million, 2-year contract. The right-hander will receive $14.5 million in each of the next two seasons. Peavy could receive a $15 million option for 2015 if he has 400 innings in the next two years, including a minimum of 190 in 2014, and he doesnt finished 2014 on the disabled list. Chicago also exercised a $9.5 million option on right-hander Gavin Floyd, declined a $10 million option on right-hander Brett Myers and turned down a $13 million option on third baseman Kevin Youkilis, acquired from Boston in June. The Los Angeles Dodgers brought back Brandon League, agreeing to a $22.5-million, 3-year deal.

With 31:12 left to play, Gardner lined up to take a direct kick after a foul was called on a Swanton player at the 21-yard line. Gardner lined a high shot on goal that Carr attempted to make a leaping save on, only to have it go off her hands and into the net for a 3-0 lead. Gardners second goal came with 28:48 left after she fired a shot from the left side of the goal that snuck past Carr and rolled along the goal mouth before rolling into the net. Kalida had a 12-7 edge in shots on-goal as Sarah Verhoff made four saves in the win, which was the LadyCats fourth shutout of the tournament. Carr had five saves for the Bulldogs.

Coressel Stadium. The project is set to begin immediately and will be the latest in a string of upgrades to the athletics facilities at DC. We are excited to be doing this project, said Defiance College President Mark Gordon. I see this as a vote of confidence in the lacrosse and football programs here at DC. We have outstanding coaches and student-athletes here whom we are very pleased to invest in through this project. The UBU turf will be installed by Maumee Bay Turf Center and is expected to be finished

before the start of DCs inaugural mens lacrosse campaign in the spring of 2013. The mens and womens lacrosse teams are expected to break in the new surface on March 2, when the ladies host BaldwinWallace at 11:00 am for a club match, before the men follow with a varsity contest against Calvin at 1 p.m. Along with the new turf playing surface for the football and lacrosse programs, the field will also provide another outdoor practice surface for several Yellow Jacket sports and will be capable of hosting soccer and field hockey contests. Other updates to the facility will include a resurfaced javelin, shot put and high jump area for the track and field programs. The Justin F. Coressel Stadium upgrades are the latest improvements to the athletics facilities at Defiance College. Over the past 14 months, DC has opened the George M. Smart Athletic Center, resurfaced the Dix Outdoor Tennis Facility and completed the renovation inside the Karl H. Weaner Community Center with the installation of new bleachers and a refinished floor.

When James left Cleveland for Miami as a free agent in July 2010, Gilbert famously promised in a letter to disappointed Cleveland fans that his Cavs would win a championship before James got one with the Heat. Well, that ended in June when James, capping his third MVP season, led Miami to a finals win over Oklahoma City. Looking back now, that probably was not the most brilliant thing Ive ever done in my life, Gilbert added.

Rings, a banner, a win: Heat top Celtics 120-107

By TIM REYNOLDS The Associated Press
MIAMI LeBron James limped off with leg cramps two times in the second half. He wasnt worried about the outcome. By now, he knows the depth of the Miami Heat roster. And on ring night, there was no way the reigning NBA champions were going to have their party spoiled. Dwyane Wade scored 29 points, James finished with 26 points and 10 rebounds despite spending parts of the third and fourth quarters hydrating in the locker room and the Heat beat the Boston Celtics 120107 Tuesday night in the season opener for both teams. A night that we wont forget, James said. Thats true, for a lot of reasons. There were actual fireworks before the game to close the ceremony where the Heat got their championship rings and raised their title banner. There also were plenty of figurative fireworks late, first with Boston almost digging out of a 19-point hole and, after the outcome was decided, Rajon Rondo flagrantly fouling Wade by wrapping his arms around his neck on a drive. In the end, though, the first Celtics-Heat matchup of this season was like the final one of last season with Miami winning. It was good to cap this night off with a win, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. Chris Bosh was dominant late, finishing with 19 points and 10 rebounds. Allen scored 19 points needing only seven field goal attempts in his first game with the Heat since leaving Boston over the summer. Allen got chants from the By RUSTY MILLER The Associated Press Heat crowd, which is nothing new. Except this time, they were positive. Never thought Id hear that here, Allen said. Paul Pierce scored 23 points, Rondo finished with 20 points and 13 assists and Leandro Barbosa scored 16 for Boston. The Celtics, who lost to the Heat in last seasons Eastern Conference finals, were not on the court for the ring ceremony. They almost wrecked the festive mood with a late comeback. An 11-2 run late in the fourth quarter got Boston within 111-107 on Courtney Lees layup with 2:09 left. That was the last Celtics hurrah Bosh scored the games next seven points, sealing it for Miami. I thought they were the aggressor the whole game, Celtics coach Doc Rivers said. They got on the floor where they wanted to get on the floor. They took us out of stuff that they wanted to. Rashard Lewis scored 10 points for Miami, which held on even while James, last seasons MVP of both the regular season and NBA Finals, dealt with cramps, first in his right leg and then his left. Its not an all-the-time thing, James said. Im not too worried about it. The Heat got their championship rings from owner Micky Arison before the game, then watched the banner get hoisted to the rafters. More emotion came late, when Wade drove past Rondo and the Celtics guard grabbed Wade around the neck. Wade appeared as though he was ready to throw the ball at Rondo in retaliation and stopped himself. I thought he hooked me, Rondo explained. Wade had a different opinion. It was a punk play by him, Wade replied. The league will take care of it. He clotheslined me, with two hands. While Rondo raised eyebrows by putting hands on Wade, Kevin Garnett made news by not offering his hand to Allen. As Allen entered the game for the first time, he trotted toward the Boston bench, exchanging a handshake, embrace and a few words with Rivers, who hasnt hidden his displeasure about his former shooting guards decision to sign with Miami and didnt sound certain before the game how he would react when he saw Allen in Miami colors. Allen then briskly shook hands with a few assistant coaches. But when Allen tried to engage Garnett, the mutual pleasantries ended. Allen tapped Garnett on the shoulder as he sat on the Boston bench; Garnett didnt even flinch, staring straight ahead, refusing to acknowledge the gesture in any way. I was just trying to focus as much as I could. I am such an intense person, Garnett said. It was a blank. Obviously, hes on the other side. Its time to play the game, man. Allen didnt seem flustered. His first shot in a Miami uniform was what else? a corner 3-pointer, which swished. The first Heat angst of the season came in the third quarter, when James walked slowly to the bench after a timeout with 4:40 remaining, favoring his right leg and then headed out the tunnel toward the locker room. When he left, Miami led 79-70. When he returned to open the fourth quarter, the lead was 93-76. The Heat scored the final eight points of the third, with Bosh, Allen, Mario Chalmers and Lewis all scor-

ing in the final 2:17 to give the Heat their biggest lead of the game. James who dealt with cramps in last seasons NBA Finals opened the fourth quarter with a jumper to extend the run to 10-0, and Miami seemed well on its way. But he returned to the locker room a short time later, the cramps having flared up again. Nonetheless, the Heat found a way to finish without the MVP.
NOTES: Wade passed the 15,000point mark for his career early in the second quarter, becoming the 123rd player in NBA history to reach that mark, according to STATS LLC. ... Rondo had at least 10 assists for the 25th straight regular-season game. ... The Celtics allowed 62 points in the first half; they gave up 62 or more only seven times in 379 regular-season and playoff games over the past four seasons. ... Miami players wore sneakers with gold somewhere in the color scheme; James were primarily gold in honor of the ring and trimmed in white and red. MAVERICKS 99, LAKERS 91 LOS ANGELES Darren Collison scored 17 points, Brandan Wright added 14 and Dallas spoiled the Lakers debuts of Dwight Howard and Steve Nash. O.J. Mayo had 12 points as the revamped Mavericks pulled off a stunner in their opener, comfortably beating the star-studded Lakers without any help from injured Dirk Nowitzki. Kobe Bryant scored 22 points while playing on an injured right foot but the Lakers opened a season of enormous expectations with a dud of a performance. Howard had 19 points and 10 rebounds while missing 11 of his 14 free throws before fouling out with 2:02 to play. Nash managed just seven points and four assists with seemingly little to do in the Lakers new offensive scheme. Pau Gasol had 23 points and 13 rebounds for the Lakers. CAVALIERS 94, WIZARDS 84 CLEVELAND Kyrie Irving scored 29 points, Anderson Varejao had a career-high 23 rebounds and Cleveland opened the season with a win over short-handed Washington. Rookie Dion Waiters added 17 points for the Cavs, who led by 16 in the third quarter but needed big plays from Irving and Varejao in the final minutes to hold off the Wizards. Varejao had nine points and a career-high nine assists, two setting up dunks by Tristan Thompson in the last two minutes. Jordan Crawford scored 11 points to lead the Wizards, who were without star point guard John Wall, power forward Nene and forward Kevin Seraphin. Wall, the former No. 1 overall pick, is expected to be out until late November with a knee injury.

Ohio State coming around to Miller for Heisman

COLUMBUS Ohio State coach Urban Meyer refused for weeks to even discuss quarterback Braxton Millers Heisman Trophy chances. Now Meyer, who coached a Heisman winner at Florida named Tim Tebow, is joining a growing number of those who think the Buckeyes sophomore might just be a viable contender. Do I believe hes a Heisman candidate? I do, Meyer replied this week. I didnt say that before. But I do believe Braxton is a Heisman candidate. He has to play much better. However, just from sheer production for a team thats 9-0, it puts him in that category. It might not seem like a very bold statement, a coach simply citing his players chances. After all, every college player in America is technically a candidate. But Meyers words also have given others at Ohio State tacit approval to go ahead with a campaign to put Miller in the spotlight more. Based on what hes done on the field, Miller deserves to be in the Heisman conversation. Last week in a 35-23 win at Penn State, Miller became the third Big Ten quarterback to top 1,000 yards rushing in a season. He is 11th in the country and first in the conference at 121 yards a game. His passing numbers are nothing special. He has completed 57 percent of his passes for 1,527 yards and 12 touchdowns with six interceptions. A shifty runner, Miller is at his breathtaking best in the open field. He has runs this season of 72, 67, 65, 55, 37 yards, three of 33 yards and another for 31 yards. Individual stats are one thing but Millers candidacy has gotten another boost because he has been the linchpin of a team with a 9-0 record and is ranked No. 6 in the nation. So dont be surprised if Ohio State flexes its PR muscles to try to help Miller become the schools eighth Heisman winner. The university has never been shy about promoting players for awards. That includes curmudgeonly coach Woody Hayes, a larger-thanlife figure who was fine with the hype machine helping out Archie Griffin, the only twotime Heisman Trophy winner (1974-75). Woody was never concerned about promoting a player, although everyone would probably think he was diametrically opposed to it, said Marv Homan, who worked in Ohio States athletic communications department from 1949-87. Woody knew Archies popularity with the team and he was not concerned with singling him out for attention. He knew it would be the same Archie Griffin showing up every day at practice and every Saturday for games. Back then, Ohio State would include a special set of statistics highlighting Griffins gaudy accomplishments. Opposing coaches raving about Griffins balance and cutting ability would also be a part of the package. The numbers 5,589 career yards rushing, seasons of 1,577 and 1,695 yards as a junior and senior when the Buckeyes went 21-3 spoke

volumes. Now Miller is approaching the end of a long season. Ohio State is banned from the postseason so he wont have a bowl game to further prove himself but Heisman voting is completed in early December, so that is a moot point. Meyer coached Tebow at Florida when he won the Heisman in 2008. Miller is only a sophomore, but so was Tebow, who was the first sophomore to win the bronze statuette. I have a little experience at that award, Meyer said. Braxton has to play much better. However, I believe he is a candidate. If the first step is just being identified as a contender, then Millers campaign is already well under way. Ohio State doesnt plan on putting his face on coffee mugs, T-shirts or mouse pads and mailing them out to Heisman voters. Im not certain that we need to have any kind of gimmick, Ohio State sports information director for football Jerry Emig said. The whole goal of hype is name recognition. If you plug in the terms Braxton Miller and Heisman in a search engine, right now youre going to generate 415,000 hits. I just did that a short while ago.

ConEd prepped for big storm, got even bigger one

NEW YORK (AP) Blame a very high tide driven by a full moon, the worst storm surge in nearly 200 years, and the placement of underground electrical equipment in flood-prone areas for the most extensive stormrelated power outage in New York Citys history. Its like what happened at the Fukushima nuclear complex in Japan last year without the radiation. At a Consolidated Edison substation in Manhattans East Village, a gigantic wall of water defied elaborate planning and expectations, swamped underground electrical equipment, and left about 250,000 lower Manhattan customers without power. Last year, the surge from Hurricane Irene reached 9.5 feet at the substation. ConEd figured it had that covered. The utility also figured the infrastructure could handle a repeat of the highest surge on record for the area 11 feet during a hurricane in 1821, according to the National Weather Service. After all, the substation was designed to withstand a surge of 12.5 feet. With all the planning, and all the predictions, planning big was not big enough. Superstorm Sandy went bigger a surge of 14 feet. Nobody predicted it would be that high, said ConEd spokesman Allan Drury. At one point, nearly 1 million ConEd customers lost electricity in and near the city a record number for the utility. And the troubles didnt end as the storm slowly moved off. Con Ed said problems to its high-voltage systems caused by the hurricane forced the utility to cut power to about 160,000 customers in Brooklyn and Staten Island on Tuesday night. But the signature event came when a surge of water pushed forward by the storms winds poured over the banks of the East River near the substation on 13th Street. As water poured into the substation Monday night, the blinding flash of an explosion lit the most famous skyline in the world. A huge section of the city that never sleeps fell into darkness. Its exactly what a proactive ConEd hoped to avoid by shutting down three similar power networks in Manhattan and one in Brooklyn in advance of the storm surge. However, the combination of circumstances, notably an extraordinary high tide, pushed massive amounts of water deep into the city. The underground infrastructure was suddenly vulnerable. As the storms predicted path zeroed in on New York City, ConEd brought on extra work crews and laid plans to shut down some underground equipment in lower Manhattan and other parts of the city. By late Monday afternoon, the utility started to notify Manhattan customers south of 36th Street that power might be shut off if underground equipment was flooded with corrosive, destructive seawater. The company gave the same heads-up to some customers in Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx. By mid-evening, though, conditions had worsened. More than 150,000 customers in New York City and Westchester County were already off grid. The utility began turning off the power, as a precaution, to a section of lower Manhattan, including Wall Street, in an attempt to stem damage. Shortly afterward, the company began cutting electricity in parts of Brooklyn too; a total of 220,000 other customers were already in the dark. Less than an hour later, more equipment flooded,

Greece revises debt forecasts up in draft budget

By ELENA BECATOROS The Associated Press ATHENS, Greece The Greek government raised its debt and deficit forecasts for 2013 in a revised budget submitted to Parliament today, highlighting the countrys monumental struggle in turning around its public finances. Greeces general government debt is projected to rise to 189.1 percent of gross domestic product in 2013, above the 182.5 percent predicted in the preliminary draft submitted at the start of the month. Thats up from 175.6 percent forecast for this year. The revised figures projected the government deficit at 5.2 percent of GDP, up from 4.2 percent predicted in the preliminary draft of the budget but still an improvement from the 6.6 percent predicted for this year. The recession, which will head into its sixth year, will be deeper than the 3.8 percent contraction the preliminary draft had predicted, with the new figures estimating the economy will shrink by 4.5 percent. Unemployment is projected at 22.8 percent next year, marginally higher than the 22.4 percent predicted for 2012. Greece registered record unemployment in July this year, with the jobless rate reaching 25.1 percent. National debt will stand at (euro) 346.2 billion, slightly higher than this years (euro) 340.6 billion, the revised budget showed. Greece has been relying on the bailout funds since May 2010. Without them, it will be unable to pay its debts or continue paying salaries and pensions, leading to a messy default that would threaten its position in the 17-nation bloc that uses the euro as its currency. The government has been struggling for months to agree with its international creditors on a new package of austerity measures worth (euro)

sparks flew, and the blast boomed across the East River and throughout lower Manhattan from what ConEd believes was a circuit breaker at its flooded substation. The flooded equipment had failed. When live electric equipment is inundated with salt water, electricity escapes every which way, sending sparks flying and damaging equipment. You see a huge blast just from the short circuit, says Arshad Mansoor, senior vice president for research and development at the Electric Power Research Institute, an industry-funded research group. As day broke Tuesday, the company was busily assessing damage and fixing equipment. But downed trees and wires, as well as lingering flood waters, made it hard for repair crews to reach some areas. The utility was able to get at least 140,000 customers back on the grid within several hours. But hundreds of thousands of others hunkered down for a longer outage. ConEd said customers served by underground equipment should be restored to service in four days. Those who get power from overhead lines are expected to wait a week.

Yacht commissioned by Steve Jobs launched

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) The sleek, white superyacht glistens under a gray autumnal sky, a posthumous testament to the design aesthetic of Steve Jobs. Just over a year after the Apple founder died, the luxury motor yacht he commissioned and helped French product designer Philippe Starck make has finally slipped into an anonymous Dutch backwater. Looking like a floating Apple store, it bears all the hallmarks of a new Jobs-inspired creation crisp white lines, polished metal, glass. And secrecy. Late Tuesday, shipbuilder Feadship announced it had launched the 78.2-meter (256-foot) all-aluminum, full custom motoryacht Venus at its yard in Aalsmeer, just south of Amsterdam, two days earlier. Starck said in a statement emailed to The Associated Press that he is proud of Venus as he feels it reflects Steve Jobs expectation and vision. The superyacht has a long white hull with a row of circular portholes just above the water line and two glass-walled cabins on the top deck, one on top of the other. Starck said Jobs asked him to design a boat in 2007 and approved his design at only their second meeting to discuss the project. The project never changed during the process of five years dedicated to a rigorous work on details, driven by the famous eye and genius of Steve Jobs, the statement issued by Starcks design house said. This work was directly done between Steve Jobs and Philippe Starck. Walter Isaacson described plans and models of the yacht in his biography of Jobs, who died, aged 56, on Oct. 5 last year.

DEAR BRUCE: I recently became BRUCE WILLIAMS unemployed through no fault of my own -just downsizing, like so many. I asked my lender if I could defer my payments because I had just lost my job. In the application for the deferment, the lender asks for information on my investments. Why is it necessary for the lender to have that information? What does this have to do with deferring my mortgage payments? -- C.B., via email DEAR C.B.: This has a great deal to do with your request for deferring payment. Your lender is asking whether you have other assets that you can sell so you can continue to pay your mortgage on time. If you dont have an investment portfolio -- in other words, no assets -- thats one set of circumstances. But lets assume that youre unemployed and own $10 million in stocks. Even though unemployment would interrupt your earned income, you certainly could pay your mortgage. Obviously, you dont have that kind of money, but if you do have investments you can borrow against or sell, the lender would be understandably reluctant to extend deferment terms to you. Further, you should understand that trying to hide assets could be construed as fraud, and that could have unfavorable consequences. I know that you dont want to get into your assets, but, on the other side of that, the lender wants its money. Im sure you can appreciate where the lender is coming from. DEAR BRUCE: It seems to be a common theme these days that people are as deep in debt as I am. I was watching TV late one night and saw a show that had testimonials from many people who had debts. I sent the company some money for its information on how it was going to make me debt-free, and I havent heard from anyone. In fact, in researching the company on the Internet after the fact, I see it is under investigation. Do I have any recourse? -- Reader, via email DEAR READER: You might have recourse. The fact that the company is being investigated does not mean that its done anything improper or illegal. It does mean that whoever is handling the investigation suspects that is the case. You may wish to contact the agency or individuals who are leading the investigation. Tell them your circumstance and ask if they wish to further discuss this with you. In the event it is legally determined that the company made claims it could not substantiate, misused funds, etc., its possible you may have some chance for a partial or full refund. Dont sit on this, as time can be your enemy. Contact the investigators and find out what their suspicions are -- if they can tell you -- and ask what they think you should be doing. DEAR BRUCE: I am a 60-year-old woman, and I have had guardianship of a child since she was in diapers. Now, 16 years later, she is driving, and because she is, Ive added her to my insurance policy. Holy cow! My rates went to the moon. I knew they would go up, but not like this. I live paycheck to paycheck, and this is killing me financially. She is an absolute joy, and I would hate to deprive her of this activity. I recently found out that if I had waited a couple of years until she was 18, the rates would not have been so outrageous, but its too late now. Any thoughts? -- T.R., via email DEAR T.R.: One problem is that even if you decide to not let your teen drive your vehicle, the insurance company now knows shes in your household and has a drivers license. It likely would take the position that she is a potential driver and would set your premium accordingly. You might ask the insurance company if theres anything your teen can do to reduce the premium, such as taking a drivers education course or additional private driving classes. Often the company will give you a credit. Another thing you can do is to have her get a job and pay part or all of the increase in the premium. Shes old enough to get a job, and since she wants to drive, she can certainly help out. This would not be unreasonable and would be a good lesson for her.

Sandy

(Continued from page 1A)

electricity some as far away as Michigan. Nearly a quarter of those without power were in New York, where lower Manhattans usually bright lights remained dark for a second night. But, amid the despair, talk of recovery was already beginning. Its heartbreaking after being here 37 years, Barry Prezioso of Point Pleasant, N.J., said as he returned to his house in the beachfront community to survey the damage. You see your home demolished like this, its tough. But nobody got hurt and the upstairs is still livable, so we can still live upstairs and clean this out. Im sure theres people that had worse. I feel kind of lucky. Much of the initial recovery efforts focused on New York City, the regions economic heart. Bloomberg said it could take four or five days before the subway, which suffered the worst damage in its 108-year history, is running again. All 10 of the tunnels that carry commuters under the East River were flooded. But high water prevented inspectors from immediately assessing damage to key equipment, raising the possibility that the nations largest city could endure an extended shutdown of the system that 5 million people count on to get to work and school each day. The chairman of the state agency that runs the subway, Joseph Lhota, said service might have to resume piecemeal, and experts said the cost of the repairs could be staggering. Power company Consolidated Edison said it would be four days before the last of the 337,000 customers in Manhattan and Brooklyn who lost power have electricity again and it could take a week to restore outages in the Bronx, Queens, Staten Island and Westchester County. Floodwater led to explosions that disabled a power substation Monday night, contributing to the outages. Surveying the widespread damage, it was clear much of the recovery and rebuilding will take far longer. When New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie stopped in Belmar, N.J., during a tour of the devastation, one woman wept openly and 42-year-old Walter Patrickis told him, Governor, I lost everything. Christie, who called the shore damage unthinkable, said a full recovery would take months, at least, and it would likely be a week or more before power is restored to everyone who lost it. Now weve got a big task ahead of us that we have to do together. This is the kind of thing New Jerseyans are built for, he said. President Barack Obama is scheduled to visit the state today to inspect the storm damage. By sundown Tuesday, however, announcements from officials and scenes on the streets signaled that New York and nearby towns were edging toward a semblance of routine. First came the reopening of highways in Connecticut and bridges across the Hudson and East rivers, although the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel, connecting Brooklyn to Manhattan, and the Holland Tunnel, between New York and New Jersey, remained closed. A limited number of the white and blue buses that crisscross New Yorks grid returned Tuesday evening to Broadway and other thoroughfares on a reduced schedule but free of charge. Gov. Andrew Cuomo said he hoped there would be full service by today. Still, school was canceled for a third straight day today in the city, where many students rely on buses and subways to reach classrooms. In one bit of good news, John F. Kennedy and Newark Liberty International airports reopened with limited service just after 7 a.m. today. New Yorks LaGuardia Airport remains closed. The New York Stock Exchange was again silent Tuesday the first weatherrelated, two-day closure since the 19th century but trading was scheduled to resume this morning with Bloomberg ringing the opening bell. Amtrak also laid out plans to resume some runs in the Northeast today, with modified service between Newark, N.J., and points south. That

includes restoring Virginia service to Lynchburg, Richmond and Newport News, Keystone trains in Pennsylvania, and Downeaster service between Boston and Portland, Maine. But flooding continues to prevent service to and from New Yorks Penn Station. Amtrak said the amount of water in train tunnels under the Hudson and East rivers is unprecedented. There will be no Northeast Regional service between New York and Boston and no Acela Express service for the entire length of the Northeast Corridor. No date has been set for when it might resume. But even with the return of some transportation and plans to reopen schools and businesses, the damage and pain inflicted by Sandy continued to unfold, confirming the challenge posed by rebuilding. In New Jersey, amusement rides that once crowned a pier in Seaside Heights were dumped into the ocean, some homes were smashed, and others were partially buried in sand. National Guard troops arrived in Hoboken on Tuesday night to find live wires dangling in the floodwaters that Mayor Dawn Zimmer said were rapidly mixing with sewage. About 2.1 million homes and businesses remained without power across the state late Tuesday. When Tropical Storm Irene struck last year, it took more than a week to restore power everywhere. The states largest utility, PSE&G, said it was trying to dry out substations it had to shut down. Outages in the states two largest cities, Newark and Jersey City, left traffic signals dark, resulting in numerous fender-benders at intersections where police were not directing traffic. And in

one Jersey City supermarket, there were long lines to get bread and a spot at an outlet to charge cellphones. Trees and power lines were down in every corner of the state. Schools and state government offices were closed for a second day, and many called off classes for today, too. The governor said the PATH trains connecting northern New Jersey with Manhattan would be out of service for at least seven to 10 days because of flooding. All the New Jersey Transit rail lines were damaged, he said, and it was not clear when the rail lines would be able to open. In Connecticut, some residents of Fairfield returned home in kayaks and canoes to inspect widespread damage left by retreating floodwaters that kept other homeowners at bay. The uncertainty is the worst, said Jessica Levitt, who was told it could be a week before she can enter her house. Even if we had damage, you just want to be able to do something. We cant even get started. The storm caused irreparable damage to homes in East Haven, Milford and other shore towns. Still, many were grateful the storm did not deliver a bigger blow, considering the havoc wrought in New York City and New Jersey. I feel like we are blessed, said Bertha Weismann, whose garage was flooded in Bridgeport. It could have been worse. And in New York, residents of the flooded beachfront neighborhood of Breezy Point in returned home to find fire had taken everything the water had not. A huge blaze destroyed perhaps 100 homes in the close-knit community where many had stayed behind despite being told to evacuate.

Disney to make new Star Wars films, buy Lucas co

LOS ANGELES (AP) A decade after George Lucas said Star Wars was finished on the big screen, a new trilogy is destined for theaters as The Walt Disney Co. announced Tuesday that it was buying Lucasfilm Ltd. for $4.05 billion. The seventh movie, with a working title of Episode 7, is set for release in 2015. Episodes 8 and 9 will follow. The new trilogy will carry the story of Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Princess Leia beyond Return of the Jedi, the third film released and the sixth in the saga. After that, Disney plans a new Star Wars movie every two or three years. Lucas will serve as creative consultant in the new movies. For the past 35 years, one of my greatest pleasures has been to see Star Wars passed from one generation to the next, said Lucas, chairman and CEO of Lucasfilm Ltd. Its now time for me to pass Star Wars on to a new generation of filmmakers. Ive always believed that Star Wars could live beyond me, and I thought it was important to set up the transition during my lifetime. Disney CEO Bob Iger said Lucusfilm had already developed an extensive story line on the next trilogy, and Episode 7 was now in earlystage development. The Walt Disney Co. announced the blockbuster agreement to buy Lucasfilm in cash and stock Tuesday. The deal includes Lucasfilms prized hightech production companies, Industrial Light & Magic and Skywalker Sound, as well as rights to the Indiana Jones franchise. Lucas was hailed as a cinematic visionary when the original Star Wars came out in 1977. But he had become an object of often-vicious ridicule by the time he released 3-D versions of all six films in the Star Wars franchise earlier this year. Die-hard Star War fans had been vilifying Lucas for years, convinced that he had become a commercial sell-out and had compounded his sins by desecrating the heroic tale that he originally sought to tell. They railed against him for adding grating characters such as Jar Jar Binks in the second trilogy and attacked him for tinkering with the original trilogy, too. Any revision from little things like making the Ewoks blink or bigger alterations like making a green-skinned alien named Greedo take the first shot at Han Solo in a famous bar scene were treated as blasphemy. The criticism grated on Lucas, who vowed never to make another Star Wars movie during an interview with The New York Times earlier this year. Why would I make any more when everybody yells at you all the time and says what a terrible person you are? Lucas told the Times.

Syria activists say warplanes hit Damascus suburbs

By BARBARA SURK The Associated Press BEIRUT Syrian warplanes pounded opposition strongholds around Damascus and in the north today, as President Bashar Assads forces intensified airstrikes against rebels seeking to topple him, activists said. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which gathers reports from a network of activists on the ground, said government jets carried out five strikes in the eastern Ghouta district, a rebel stronghold close to the capital. Three airstrikes also hit the rebel-held city of Maaret al-Numan that straddles a key supply route from Damascus to Aleppo, Syria largest city and a main front in the civil war. Maaret al-Numan has been under constant bombardment since it fell to the rebels on Oct. 10. No casualties were reported in todays strikes, the Observatory said. However, at least 185 people were killed nationwide in airstrikes and artillery shelling the day before,

The Syrian regime cant do anything on the ground, and thats why they use air strikes.
Abdul-Rahman pushing the total death toll from the relentless fighting in Syria to over 36,000 since March 2011, said Rami Abdul-Rahman, the activist groups president. At least 47 soldiers were also killed Tuesday, according to the Observatory. Syrias crisis began as a peaceful uprising against Assads regime inspired by the Arab Spring but quickly morphed into a bloody civil war. The international community remains at a loss about how to stop the war and a U.N.proposed truce last week for a major Muslim holiday failed to take hold. More than 500 people were killed in fighting during what was supposed to be a four-day cease-fire end-

French government gets anti-sexism lessons

PARIS (AP) First there was Dominique Strauss-Kahn, who allegedly referred to women as material, then catcalls in the French Parliament just because a female government minister wore a floral dress. But when this month the French agriculture minister in an interview about promoting gender equality suggested that women couldnt get their heads around technical jobs, that was too much. The prime minister of France a country which produced feminist icons such as Joan of Arc and Simone de Beauvoir has decided that his ministers need to go back to school for antisexism classes. On Jean-Marc Ayraults orders, the Equality Ministry has set up a series of 45-minute gender equality sensitization sessions, during which ministers are being trained to identify sexism in daily life and taught how to avoid sexist stereotypes in political communication. Organizers told The Associated Press that its a full class, with all 38 ministers signed up or in the process of registering. In the interest of gender equality, the female ministers are going, too. The goal, said organizer Caroline de Haas, is that ministers take time to think about sexism. If youre not vigilant, de facto inequalities are created, she said. De Haas said 80 percent of politicians interviewed on French TV and radio broadcasts are men. She said she wants to fight against the illusion that France has almost achieved equality between men and women. France is now trailing in an unimpressive 48th place on the Global Gender Gap equality list. Earlier this month, in an interview with LExpress magazine, French Agriculture Minister Stephane Le Foll sparked controversy by saying: Ive tried to promote women as much as possible, even though some of our dossiers are very technical. Though Le Foll said his words were taken out of context given that the interview was on the subject of gender equality they nevertheless caused outrage and went viral on Twitter. As far as the public is concerned, sounds like some ministers need instruction. Im not proud, but its good (the lessons are) happening, said Nicolette Kost, 33, in central Paris. After all, at such a high level in French government non-sexist attitudes should just come naturally.

Protesters delay vote on new Libyan Cabinet

By ESAM MOHAMED The Associated Press

ing Monday. In China, the U.N.-Arab League envoy to Syria, Lakhdar Brahimi, met today with Chinas foreign minister to solicit Beijings support for international efforts to stop the bloodshed. The U.S. and other Western and Arab nations have called on Assad to step down, while Russia, China and Iran continue to back him. In the past weeks, the regime has intensified airstrikes on rebel positions and strongholds. Activists speculate that the governments heavy reliance on air power reflects its inability to roll back rebel gains, especially in the north of the country near the border with Turkey, where rebels have control of swathes of territory. The Syrian regime cant do anything on the ground, and thats why they use air strikes, Abdul-Rahman said. The international communitys failure to push for an even modest truce raised fears of a prolonged conflict in Syria that could drag in its neighbors such as Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan.

Turkeys support for the Syrian rebel movement has been a particular point of tension between the former allies. Turkey has reinforced its border and fired into Syria on several occasions recently in response to shells that have landed from Syria inside Turkish territory. Syrias Foreign Ministry spokesman, Jihad Makdessi, accused Turkey of having destructive policies against Damascus and claimed the Turkish foreign minister, Ahmet Davutoglu, was targeting the security and stability of Syria. Makdessi was referring to Tuesdays comments by Davutoglu who expressed great sadness that the holiday cease-fire had failed and said his government was done talking to Assads regime. The spokesman insisted it was the unwillingness of Turkey and Gulf states to cease supporting the rebels that doomed the truce, the state-run SANA news agency reported late Tuesday. Damascus views the rebels as terrorists and accuses them of being foot soldiers in a foreign plot to destroy Syria.

Enjoy an abundance of options

TRIPOLI, Libya Libyas new prime minister on Tuesday put forward a Cabinet for parliamentary approval, but protesters stormed the building during the session, forcing a postponement of the vote on the new government. Around 100 protesters, a mix of bearded civilians and selfproclaimed rebels, broke into the hall during a session in which Ali Zidan, the new prime minister, was telling the National General Congress that he tried to strike a geographic balance among different regions and cities. The protesters faced little resistance as they entered, and a local TV station showed video of the break-in before it went off air. The protesters had various complaints about the nominated ministers, including that some had connections to the ousted regime of dictator Moammar Gadhafi. Interim President Mohammed al-Megarif talked to the protesters, and they left the hall. Then they returned, forcing the parliament to postpone the vote on the new Cabinet until today. Let Libyans know the atmosphere in which we operate, alMegarif said. The least we can say about what happened is that it is pressure on the Congress members. He said criticism of the Cabinet was welcomed but appealed for a peaceful expression of opinion. The Congress represents legitimacy in this country, he said. A year after the overthrow and death of Gadhafi, Libyans are seeking a broader distribution of political power among the countrys three main regions, after decades of domination and discrimination by the dictators highly centralized state based in the capital, Tripoli. The new Cabinet faces the herculean task of reigning in a mushrooming number of armed groups, filled mostly with former rebel fighters who defeated Gadhafis forces during last years eightmonth civil war. The government must also build state institutions such as the judiciary, police, military and others from scratch, and rebuild cities and towns demolished during the conflict. Zidan, a former human rights lawyer chosen Oct. 14, is the second prime minister to be named by the 200-member parliament. Legislators dismissed his predecessor, Mustafa Abushaqur, after they said he had put forward unknown people for key Cabinet posts and proposed a government lacking diversity.

The next pupil was the sweet shop owners daughter. The teacher held her gift overhead, shook it, and said, I bet I can guess what it is. A box of sweets. Thats right, but how did you know? asked the girl. Oh, just a wild guess, said the teacher. The next gift was from the son of the liquor store owner. The teacher held the package overhead, but it was leaking. She touched a drop off the leakage with her finger and put it to her tongue. Is it wine? she asked. No, the boy replied, with some excitement. The teacher repeated the process, tasting a larger drop of the leakage. Is it champagne? she asked. No, the boy replied, with more excitement. The teacher took one more big taste before declaring, I give up, what is it? With great glee, the boy replied, Its a puppy! SURPRISE!

Clearing blocked artery can prevent bigger stroke

carry blood to arteries inside the brain. Inside the brain, the arteries get narrower and narrower. Diseases of the heart, aorta and arteries in the neck or inside the brain can all lead to blockages. Blood clots or little pieces of the wall of the heart, aorta and arteries of the neck can break off and travel through the progressively narrower arteries until they get wedged in an artery, stopping blood flow to a part of the brain. It sounds like your doctor thinks you had a mild stroke that resulted from a blockage in one of the carotid arteries in your neck. The most common cause of such a blockage is a plaque of atherosclerosis. Your doctor may think that a small piece of that plaque broke off, traveled downstream and blocked a small artery in your brain. If I were your doctor, Id be worried that a bigger piece could break off and cause a big stroke. A carotid endarterectomy is a surgical procedure to remove a blockage in a carotid artery. In general, carotid endarterectomy is performed on people who have had a TIA (not a stroke) or, like you, a mild stroke and in whom a major stroke appears imminent. The surgeon makes an

incision in the neck, opens the artery, cleans out the plaque and stitches you back up. When someone is too frail for surgery, an alternative to carotid endarterectomy is carotid angioplasty and a stent. As is done with the heart, a catheter is passed to the point of blockage, and a small wire mesh cylinder (the stent) expands to squash the blockage. We have more information on carotid endarterectomy in our Special Health Report, Stroke. (Learn more about this report at AskDoctorK. com, or call 877-649-9457 toll-free to order it.)

Readers share their many ways to use mason jars

household items. You can make gifts inside them or use them as vases, too. The first reader tip shares three more ways to use a mason jar: Mason jar measuring: Mason jars make great measuring cups. 1 cup = 1/2 pint jar 2 cups = pint jar 4 cups = quart jar 8 cups = half-gallon jar I use my smaller mason jars to take salad to work (add dressing and shake to disperse the dressing evenly), and I fill large mason jars with water and keep them in the fridge to make sure I drink enough water during the day. -- Peggy, Michigan Box full of sunshine: I just sent a Sunshine Box to a friend 1,000 miles away who is really having a rough time right now. It was so fun picking things out for her and putting a box together. Basically, you fill a box with yellow things! I picked things specifically for her interests, and I painted the inside of the box yellow, too! I got yellow tissue paper and shredded packing at the dollar store. I bought a bouquet of yellow silk sunflowers, cut the heads off and tucked them in amongst everything and on the top. It was so fun! Things I included: A jigsaw puzzle with a yellow picture/ scene (thrift store), Golden Oreos, Dots candy, Juicy Fruit gum, a spool of decorative yellow ribbon, yellow yarn, a package of scrapbooking cutouts, a small bottle of vitamin D3 (the sunshine vitamin), yellow paper plates (too hot to wash dishes) and kitchen towels. -- S.B., forums Bobby pin craft: My daughter paints bobby pins with nail polish. She has a rainbow of colors, and rather than try to hide the bobby pins by matching her hair color, she shows off her painted pins and wears six or so at a time. -- Lenore, Ohio Pillowcases are durable pouches that can be used for creative and practical projects around your home. They come in a variety of patterns, and chances are you have one or more without a mate. You can find them dirt-cheap at thrift stores and garage sales, too. Here are a few ideas for putting pillowcases to new use: Story bag: Make a cute pillow case drawstring bag, then fill it with a few secondhand books, stuffed or small toys, puzzles, workbook pages, craft activities and supplies or flashcards, etc., that follow the theme of the stories. For a tutorial, visit sewddelicious.blogspot. com/2012/02/pillowcase-todrawstring-bag-tutorial.html. You can also use the drawstring bag as a sleepover bag, to hold laundry, unmated socks or beach gear, or as a reusable gift bag. Organizer: Use a pillowcase for sheet storage. One reader, M.F. from Canada, shares: I fold fitted sheets as best I can, then store them inside the matching pillowcase, along with the top sheet and the other pillowcase. It looks tidy on the shelf, and its all in one place when its time to change the bedding. Fun floor cushion: Sew five or six pillowcases together. Insert pillows into each case to make a cushioned mattress kids can use on the floor to lounge, watch TV, nap, etc. Pajama keeper: Cut an opening in a large stuffed animal and remove some stuffing from the body, keeping the head, arms and legs stuffed. Insert a pillowcase thats been cut to fit inside the body. Sew the pillowcase to the opening you cut, or remove the stuffing and sew in a zipper. Kids can then store pajamas inside. Wash stuffed animals: To prevent a stuffed animal from coming in contact with your washing machine agitator, place it in a pillowcase and wash it in

cold water on the delicate cycle. Garment bag: Protect tops from getting dusty in the closet. This works more nicely than flimsy dry-cleaning bags. Simply cut a hole in the seam of a pillowcase and slip it over the hanger. Classroom and party craft: A pillowcase is like a mini canvas to draw or paint on. For a cute preschool classroom memento, have each child bring a pillowcase and apply fabric paint to each childs hand so they can press their handprint on each pillowcase. They can write their names with fabric markers, too. For a tutorial, visit kinderteacher.com/Pillowcases. htm. This website sells preprinted pillowcases with a clever little poem for this project. Another reader, Neeley, shares: When my daughter turned 8 we had a slumber party for her. I bought a white pillowcase for each girl instead of traditional goodie bags. Before the party, I used a fabric marker and decoratively wrote their name in the center of their pillow. At the party, all of the girls used fabric markers to sign each others pillowcase and write a short message. I put a piece of cardboard in the pillowcase so the marker wouldnt bleed through. Pillowcase dress: A pillowcase can become a toddler dress. Visit sewlikemymom.com/easiestpillowcase-dress-ever for a free pillowcase dress pattern.

Tomorrows Horoscope
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 2012 In the year ahead, you are likely to be exposed to a spate of unusual opportunities for material gain. If you fail to take advantage of them, youll have only yourself to blame for the state of your bank balance. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- All the ideas you conceive will be constructive and functional, yet you may have to water them down a bit, in order for them to be employable by less-gifted minds. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Financial conditions are a bit unusual, causing you to experience both gains and losses. Fortunately, youre likely to be using far more black than red ink. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Chances are youll be far luckier when involved in independent projects rather than group-oriented ones. Go it alone if you can. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Be prepared for a bumpy ride in terms of your financial prospects. If you keep a cool head and a ready hand, you should be able to ride out the turbulence. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Do not discount any hunches, especially those that pertain to your work or career and could help advance your interests. Your thinking is right on target. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Disengage from insignificant matters and concentrate on what is truly important. Lady Luck will be on your side when you pay attention to important objectives. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -Details are extremely important, but somewhere along the way you must concentrate on the big picture. You can always go back and finesse the fine points at a later date. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- An extremely enterprising associate with whom youve been closely involved in the past will be instrumental in helping you create something that could be very important. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- If youre looking to make some kind of important deal, this could be the day to do it. Youre apt to be far more fortunate in striking a bargain or acquiring an important job. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Someone with whom youll be involved could come up with an ingenious idea concerning your work or career. Itll have a few flaws, but they can be corrected. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Be careful that you dont unintentionally impose yourself business-wise on someone you know purely on a social basis. Besides, chances are youd do better without them, anyway. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Youre likely to find that a development that you thought was overwhelming is actually far less intimidating. All your fears will vanish.
