Mericle to retire after 47 years with library

By STACY TAFF staff@delphosherald.com DELPHOS After 47 years of service to the Delphos Public Library, Director Nancy Mericle is retiring. Since being hired back in the fall of 1965, Mericle has occupied nearly every position at the library. I started as a page; I was in high school at the time, she said. I put books away and then started waiting on people at the counter and then I did just about any job that needed done around here. Ive done the over-dues; all the processing.

Happy new Year and good luck New laws address gays, The Delphos
Well, here it is that time again. The pressures on. Time to make a New Years resolution. The top 10 most common New Years resolutions are: 1. Lose weight 2. Stop smoking 3. Stick to a budget 4. Save or earn more money 5. Find a better job 6. Become more organized 7. Exercise more 8. Be more patient at work/with others 9. Eat better 10. Become a better person This sounds like what we try to do just about every day in our normal lives. So, why is it so hard to keep them? Getting fit and healthy is the most common resolution. Every January, people resolve that this will be the year they get back into shape and sign up at a gym. But a month or two later, that resolve slips away. Statistics indicate that two-thirds of Americans will break their New Year resolutions by Valentines Day. The main reason is that many people set goals that dont work with their lifestyles, are too challenging or not based on something they really enjoy. Who comes home from a hard days work and thinks, Boy, a nice salad would be great!? I personally am thinking about drowning my troubles in ice cream or munching through the blues on cookies. Comfort foods the downfall of every one of my diets. Broccoli just doesnt have the same effect as a nice

children, immigration
By AnDreW WeLsH-HUGGins the Associated Press Measures on gay rights and child safety are among the top state laws taking effect at the start of 2013, along with attempts to prevent identity theft and perennial efforts to restrict abortion and illegal immigration. In many states, new laws take effect on Jan. 1, while in others they do so 90 days after a governors signature. Voter-approved laws allowing same-sex couples to marry take effect in Maryland in January and in Maine today. California also approved a law exempting clergy members opposed to gay marriage from performing same-sex marriage ceremonies. In California, a first-ofits-kind law bans a form of psychotherapy aimed at making gay teenagers straight but is on hold during a court challenge. The law would ban what is known as reparative or conversion therapy for minors; such therapies are widely discredited by medical professionals. A number of laws seek to protect children from bullying and abuse. Pennsylvania school employees in contact with children, who already must report suspected abuse, must now be trained to recognize the warning signs, their legal obligations and what are considered appropriate relationships with children. That law was being debated and voted on in June as a jury was finding former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky guilty of 45 counts for sexually abusing 10 boys over 15 years. California coaches and administrators in K-12 schools, as well as higher education employees who have regular contact with children, will be required to report suspected child sexual abuse. Oregon will require schools to adopt a policy on teen dating violence, a law that follows state legislation earlier this year requiring school employees to report acts of bullying, harassment and online bullying. In Florida, the Safe Harbor Act includes provisions that require police to turn over to the Department of Children and Families any children who are alleged to be sexually exploited or dependent for assessment and possible shelter. States continue to wrestle with illegal immigration. Pennsylvania will include a requirement that contractors on public works projects make sure through the federal E-Verify system that their employees are legal U.S. residents, while a Montana ballot measure taking effect denies illegal immigrants of state services. Supporters say the Montana law will prevent illegal immigrants from obtaining services and prevent them from taking jobs at a time of high unemployment. Opponents argued there is no proof illegal immigrants are using state services in Montana. Also in Montana, voters overwhelmingly passed a measure requiring parental notification for minors abortions, while in Georgia a new law will prohibit doctors from performing an abortion 20 weeks after an egg is fertilized unless a pregnancy is determined to be medically futile, meaning it would result in the birth of a child unlikely to survive because of a serious defect. Georgia became the seventh state in the country to approve the so-called fetal pain act. Today, we are reaffirming Georgias commitment to preserving the sanctity of all human life, Gov. Nathan Deal said in a statement released shortly after he signed the bill in May. The measure passed over the objection of many female lawmakers, including Sen. Valencia Seay, who said the bills passage and signing was unconscionable, but not surprising and typi-

chewy brownie. I dont get that aaahhh feeling from crunching my way through celery, either. I am attempting to cross No. 2 off my list permanently. So far, so good. Im not putting much out there on that because it is sooooo hard and many dont make the first, second or even third time. Sticking to a budget and making and/or saving more money seem to go hand-in-hand. The budget looks a lot better when there is more to work with. Who doesnt want more money? Organization is in the eye of the beholder. My mother used to have a sign on her desk at Marathon that read Dont touch my desk, I know where everything is! Same seems to apply here. Every time I clean off my desk, I cant find what I want. So, what is my New Years resolution? Not to make one. That way, I cant fail. If I work on a few things on the top 10 list throughout the year, Ill be much better off than making a single decree and failing, like two-thirds of the rest of America. Happy New Year!

the Associated Press COLUMBUS After a bleak winter for Ohio ski resorts last year, this weeks heavy snowfall is being celebrated as many slopes open for the first time this season. Mother Nature finally woke up and came in with a big punch, Greg Fisher, general manager of Mad River Mountain ski resort, told The Columbus Dispatch for a story Friday. Its not very often that Ohio gets nearly a foot of snow all at once. Mad River Mountain, in western Ohio just outside Bellefontaine, got about 10 inches of snow Wednesday. That was enough to allow the resort to open all but one of its 24 trails the next day. Its 1,000-foot-long snow-tubing hill is opened Friday.

Ohio ski resorts celebrating heavy snow

Last year, the resort had just five trails open after Christmas. On its opening day this year, last Saturday, only a few trails were available. Warm weather and a lack of snowfall combined to keep the three ski resorts in northern Ohio from opening until now. Slopes at Boston Mills resort, midway between Cleveland and Akron, were scheduled to open Friday. Nearby Brandywine is slated to open today, and operators at Alpine Valley in Chesterland, east of Cleveland, also hope to open this weekend. More snow is predicted for much of Ohio today. Vinnie Lewis, general manager of Boston Mills and Brandywine, said more trails will be opened this weekend if temperatures stay low enough

as expected for more artificial snow-making. Well be making snow 24/7 if we can, Lewis said. I can see us opening the other trails quickly because the great thing is, the forecast for snow and snow-making is nice. Annie Weirich, director of event coordinating at Clear Fork Resort near Mansfield, said slopes were able to be opened Monday thanks to 30 snow-making guns and eight mobile snow-makers that have been added this year. The resort shut down several years ago but reopened under new management last year. But the winter was so warm that slopes were open only one full week plus weekends. Were very appreciative of Mother Nature this year, even though she kind of got a late start, Weirich said. When it comes to snow, skiers and resort operators know that nothing beats the real thing. When it snows, thats the best advertising of all for us, Weirich said. People think that if they dont have snow, we dont have snow, either. Snow Trails, the other ski resort near Mansfield, opened earlier this month. Nine of its 17 trails and one terrain park are open, and the tubing hill is set to open on today.

cal of the male-dominated General Assembly. New Hampshire enacts a ban on a type of late-term abortion procedure sometimes called partial birth abortion after lawmakers overrode the veto of Gov. John Lynch, who said the measure was unnecessary because federal law already prohibits such procedures. Supporters of the ban say they dont trust the government to prosecute the law. In Maryland, parents will be able to freeze their childs credit at any time if the child becomes a victim of identity theft. This just freezes the information to ensure that its not used for ill purposes, said Delegate Craig Zucker, a Democrat who sponsored the bill in the Maryland House of Delegates. In Delaware, state officials must request an annual credit report for every child in foster care. Among other new laws: Alabama begins cracking down on the states 900,000 uninsured drivers with a new system that allows instant checks by police, license plate offices and the state Revenue Department. A pair of laws in Georgia and Pennsylvania address the shortfalls faced by some states from the cost of unemployment benefits by raising employers contributions to unemployment compensation trust funds. In New Mexico, drivers registering their car or truck will be able to donate $1 or $5 to a state fund that supports programs and services to veterans, such as assistance in finding a job or treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder. In Utah, U.S. military personnel will be exempted from having to pay a full years property taxes after their return from 200 days of active duty in any calendar year. In Florida, it will no longer be illegal to flash your headlights to warn oncoming drivers that police are lurking on the roadside ahead. The legislation was introduced after drivers were ticketed for warning other motorists that officers may be trying to catch speeders on the highway. A California law bans the use of dogs when hunting bobcats or bears, while Wisconsins expansion of its hunting seasons in state parks to a month in autumn and another in April was a scaled-back version of a proposal that would have allowed hunting across a seven-month period from mid-October to late May. Residents reacted to the longer proposal with thousands of angry letters and emails. Most people who opposed the measure said they would stop bringing their families to state parks if there were a chance of being struck by a stray bullet or of a pet straying into an animal trap. Supporters countered that hunting has long been a Wisconsin tradition and that hunters were well-versed in practicing safe techniques.

Ohio school shooting case may include taped chats

BRIEFS

STATE/LOCAL

The Associated Press CHARDON The judge handling an Ohio teenagers trial stemming from a deadly school shooting has refused to exclude taped comments made by the suspects relatives while they were in a police interrogation room. Geauga County Judge David Fuhry rejected the effort by T.J. Lanes defense to rule out the conversations for his murder trial next month. In a ruling Thursday, Fuhry agreed with prosecutors argument that there was no reasonable expectation of privacy while Lanes parents, grandparents and teenage sister talked among themselves because they were in a police interview room, though not in the presence of officers. The privacy expectation is key in determining whether intercepted communications violate wiretap laws.

ODNR Division of Wildlife to hold muzzleloader deer season in January

Information submitted COLUMBUS Ohios white-tailed deer muzzleloader hunting season will open statewide Jan. 5-8, 2013, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Wildlife. Ohio hunters have harvested 188,853 deer this season. During the 2012 four-day muzzleloader season, 19,459 deer were harvested. Ohio deer hunters must possess the proper permits. Regardless of zone, method of taking or season, hunters may take only one antlered deer during the 2012-2013 deer hunting season. Legal hunting hours for the muzzleloader season are a half-hour before sunrise to sunset. Deer must be checked in by noon the day after the harvest, except on the last day of muzzleloader season when a deer must be checked in by 11:30 p.m. that day. Ohios small game, furbearer and waterfowl seasons are also open during the muzzleloader season. All hunters (except waterfowl hunters) must wear a visible solid hunter orange or camouflage hunter orange coat, jacket, vest or coveralls during the muzzleloader season. Deer-archery season remains open through Feb. 3, 2013. Hunters must still report their deer harvest, but they are no longer required to take their deer to a check station for physical inspection. Hunters have three options to complete the automated game check: Online at wildohio.com. By telephone at 877-TAGITOH (824-4864). This option is only available to people required to have a deer permit to hunt deer. At all license agents. A list of these agents can be found at wildohio.com or by calling 800-WILDLIFE (945-3543). Hunters are encouraged to donate any extra venison to organizations assisting Ohioans in need. ODNR Division of Wildlife is collaborating with Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Hungry (FHFH) to help pay for the processing of donated venison. Hunters who donate deer are not required to pay the processing cost as long as the deer are taken to a participating processor. To see which counties are involved in this program, go to fhfh.org. The white-tailed deer is the most popular game animal in Ohio, frequently pursued by generations of hunters. Ohio ranks eighth nationally in annual hunting-related sales and 10th in the number of jobs associated with huntingrelated industries. Hunting has an $859 million economic impact in Ohio through the sale of equipment, fuel, food, lodging and more. More information about Ohio deer hunting can be found in the 2012-2013 Hunting and Trapping Regulations or at wildohio. com. Hunters can also share photos by clicking on the Photo Gallery tab online. ODNR ensures a balance between wise use and protection of our natural resources for the benefit of all. Visit the ODNR website at ohiodnr. com.

The Associated Press COLUMBUS Attorney General Mike DeWine says the number of cold cases listed in an Ohio database of unsolved homicides has more than quadrupled since September. The online database had fewer than 170 cases in September when DeWine asked law enforcement agencies to submit their cold cases. Now the database includes more than 1,000 cases, and expected submissions from Cleveland police and the Montgomery County sheriff in Dayton could double that size. DeWine says tips have come in on some cases, and the hope is that the tips lead to arrests. In all, more than 50 law enforcement agencies submitted at least some of their cold cases for the voluntary database. It includes 423 cases from Cincinnati police and 376 from Dayton police.

Drilling opponents tie NE Ohio rally to new film

The Associated Press YOUNGSTOWN Anti-drilling demonstrators in northeast Ohio say a new movie inspired their protest in Youngstown, where deep injection of wastewater from hydraulic fracturing was linked to a series of earthquakes. Demonstrator Jane Spies says about 40 people attended the Friday rally by the Frackfree America National Coalition. Its drawing attention to an initiative its pursuing that would prohibit drilling rigs, wastewater deepinjection wells and other oil and gas infrastructure around homes, schools, cemeteries, parks and national forests. In the trailer for the movie Promised Land, starring Matt Damon and John Krasinski, the land man played by Damon says an upcoming community vote will hurt his chances of getting people to sign new oil and gas leases.

It happened at about 3:45 a.m. Friday at Environmental Enterprises Inc. Fire officials say workers were shredding contaminated filters when a chemical apparently caused a flash fire. A sprinkler system helped put out the fire, and Cincinnati firefighters checked to make sure local air quality was clear. Two people were taken to a hospital with burns. Fire officials say one man was badly burned; the others burns were minor but required treatment.

Over the fiscal cliff: Soft or hard landing?

By CONNIE CASS The Associated Press WASHINGTON Efforts to save the nation from going over a year-end fiscal cliff were still in disarray as lawmakers returned to the Capitol to confront the tax-and-spend crisis. A tone-setting quotation was Democratic Sen. Harry Reids assertion that the House under Republican Speaker John Boehner had been operating with a dictatorship. President Barack Obama flew back to Washington from Hawaii after telephoning congressional leaders from his Christmas vacation perch. Once back, he set up a meeting with leaders of both parties at the White House late Friday to make a fresh attempt to find a solution before Monday nights deadline. A look at why its so hard for Republicans and Democrats to compromise on urgent matters of taxes and spending, and what happens if they fail to meet their deadline: New Years headache Partly by fate, partly by design, some scary fiscal forces come together at the start of 2013 unless Congress and Obama act to stop them. They include: Some $536 billion in tax increases, touching nearly all Americans, because various federal tax cuts and breaks expire at years end. About $110 billion in spending cuts divided equally between the military and most other federal departments. Thats about 8 percent of their annual budgets, 9 percent for the Pentagon. Hitting the national economy with that double whammy of tax increases and spending cuts is whats called going over the fiscal cliff. If allowed to unfold over 2013, it would lead to recession, a big jump in unemployment and financial market turmoil, economists predict. What if they miss the deadline? If New Years Day arrives without a deal, the nation shouldnt plunge onto the shoals of recession immediately. There still might be time to engineer a soft landing. So long as lawmakers and the president appear to be working toward agreement, the tax hikes and spending cuts could mostly be held at bay for a few weeks. Then they could be repealed retroactively once a deal was reached. The big wild card is the stock market and the nations financial confidence: Would traders start to panic if Washington appeared unable to reach accord? Would worried consumers and businesses sharply reduce their spending? In what could be a preview, stock prices around the world dropped Friday after House Republican leaders plan for addressing the fiscal cliff collapsed. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke has warned lawmakers that the economy is already suffering from the uncertainty and they shouldnt risk making it worse by blowing past their deadline. What if they never agree? If negotiations between Obama and Congress collapse completely, 2013 looks like a rocky year. Taxes would jump $2,400 on average for families with incomes of $50,000 to $75,000, according to a study by the non-partisan Tax Policy Center. Because consumers would get less of their paychecks to spend, businesses and jobs would suffer. At the same time, Americans would feel cuts in government services; some federal workers would be furloughed or laid off, and companies would lose government business. The nation would lose up to 3.4 million jobs, the Congressional Budget Office predicts. The consequences of that would be felt by everybody, Bernanke says. The taxes Much of the disagreement surrounds the George W. Bush-era income tax cuts, and whether those rates should be allowed to rise for the nations wealthiest taxpayers. Both political parties say they want to protect the middle class from tax increases. Several tax breaks begun in 2009 to stimulate the economy by aiding low- and middle-income families are also set to expire Jan. 1. The alternative minimum tax would expand to catch 28 million more taxpayers, with an average increase of $3,700 a year. Taxes on investments would rise, too. More deaths would be covered by the federal estate tax, and the rate climbs from 35 percent to 55 percent. Some corporate tax breaks would end. The temporary Social Security payroll tax cut also is due to expire. That tax break for most Americans seems likely to end even if a fiscal cliff deal is reached, now that Obama has backed down from his call to prolong it as an economic stimulus. The spending If the nation goes over the fiscal cliff, budget cuts of 8 percent or 9 percent would hit most of the federal government, touching all sorts of things from agriculture to law enforcement and the military to weather forecasting. A few areas, such as Social Security benefits, Veterans Affairs and some programs for the poor, are exempt. THERES MORE AT STAKE All sorts of stuff could get wrapped up in the fiscal cliff deal-making. A sampling: Some 2 million jobless Americans may lose their federal unemployment aid. Obama wants to continue the benefits extension as part of the deal; Republicans say its too costly. Social Security recipients might see their checks grow more slowly. As part of a possible deal, Obama and Republican leaders want to change the way cost-ofliving adjustments are calculated, which would mean smaller checks over the years for retirees who get Social Security, veterans benefits or government pensions. The price of milk could double. If Congress doesnt provide a fix for expiring dairy price supports before Jan. 1, milk-drinking families could feel the pinch. One scenario is to attach a farm bill extension to the fiscal cliff legislation if a compromise is reached in time. Millions of taxpayers who want to file their 2012 returns before mid-March will be held up while they wait to see if Congress comes through with a deal to stop the alternative minimum tax from hitting more people. Call the whole thing off? In theory, Congress and Obama could just say no to the fiscal cliff, by extending all the tax cuts and overturning the automatic spending reductions in current law. But both Republicans and Democrats agree its time to take steps to put the nation on a path away from a future of crippling debt. Indeed, the automatic spending cuts set for January were created as a last-ditch effort to force Congress to deal with the debt problem. If Washington bypassed the fiscal cliff, the next crisis would be just around the corner, in late February or early March, when the government reaches a $16.4 trillion ceiling on the amount of money it can borrow. Boehner says Republicans wont go along with raising the limit on government borrowing unless the increase is matched by spending cuts to help attack the long-term debt problem. Failing to raise the debt ceiling could lead to a first-ever U.S. default that would roil the financial markets and shake worldwide confidence in the United States. To avoid that scenario, Obama and Boehner are trying to wrap a debt limit agreement into the fiscal cliff negotiations. So Whats The Holdup? Theyre at loggerheads over some big questions. Obama says any deal must include higher taxes for the wealthiest Americans. Many House Republicans oppose

IT WAS NEWS THEN

One Year Ago The Delphos Stadium Club plans to end 2011 by beginning the final phase of the football stadium project. Club members and volunteers will tear down the fence at the east end of the football field beginning at 8 a.m. Saturday. This preliminary step will make way for footers to be poured and rock columns to be constructed in preparation for installation of wrought iron fencing in the spring. 25 Years Ago 1987 Van Wert attorney Charles F. Kennedy III has filed as a Republican candidate for Van Wert County prosecuting attorney. Kennedy is a native of Van Wert, graduating from Van Wert High School in 1966. He is the son of the late Edward Kennedy and the late LuVerne Jones Kennedy. He has practiced law in Van Wert since 1979. St. Johns wrestlers opened their dual meet competition with a 53-21 victory over Paulding. Recording pins for St. Johns were Chuck Klima, John Zalar, Jeremy Wannemacher, Nathan Wannemacher, Dan Vonderwell and Randy Holdgreve. One highlight of the match was at 112 pounds where St. Johns Shawn Kimmet soundly defeated Brian Godoy 13-0. If Jeffersons Head Coach Frank Minnig could motivate his team for every quarter of a basketball game like he did during the third quarter of the consolation game of the WDOH Holiday Tournament, hed have a super fine basketball team on his hands. Jefferson stormed out of the gate in the third period by scoring 15 of the first 19 points which saw them take the lead. The Wildcats went on to post a 72-61 win. 50 Years Ago 1962 Delphos St. Johns Blue Jays had a double-barreled shot at school fame and prestige Friday night as they squared off against Kalida High in the finals of the holiday tournament. One shot was for the tourneys championship and the second was for a win of the schools 1000th cage event. And they scored a bulls-eye. For the record, it was St. Johns 71, over Kalida, 59. The win earned the Blue Jays the title of tournament champs and its 648th victory in the schools 1000 games. The Junior Court Catholic Daughters of America held its annual Christmas party in the Little Theater of St. Johns School Dec. 27 with games being played and prizes awarded. Prizes were also awarded to the winners of one of courts Christmas projects, the second holiday project being singing Christmas carols and delivering baskets to shut-ins. Barbara Patthoff, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Donald Patthoff of Delphos, was selected as Snow Queen at the annual Christmas dance held by the St. Ritas Hospital School of Nursing Friday night. The affair was held at the Clemans Building. Barbara, a senior in the nursing school, was one of three candidates for the title. She was chosen by the student body and crowned Friday night by Dr. Tom Edwards. 75 Years Ago 1937 A former Delphos man is being recognized throughout the United States as an authority on Great Dane dogs. He is Dr. Ralph G. Gladen of New Lisbon, New Jersey. In the annual Christmas dog directory of Dog World, national dog magazine, an account of Dr. Gladen is carried on the page given over to interesting personalities in the Dog World. Dr. Gladen was born in Delphos of German-Swiss-French discent. He owns two champion Great Danes. A regular meeting of the Delphos Kiwanis Club was held Tuesday evening at the Beckman Hotel. President-elect A. J. Laudick announced his appointments for heads of the various committees for next year. Appointed were: Agriculture E. O. Steinle; Public Affairs William B. Gladen; Membership Ed. Falke; Kiwanis Education Ray Redd; Program Otto J. Birkmeier; Underprivileged Child Dr. J. Shapiro and Finance Otto Weger. The city will discard a custom of long standing on Jan. 1, 1938, when members of the official family will not meet at the city building to be sworn into office. City Solicitor Marsh stated that this practice was not necessary and officials-elect could be sworn in at any time by a duly constituted authority before the first of the year.

HASHTAG, America It is comforting to think of death as a passing rather than an end. In that vein, I prefer to think of Steve Jobs final words as editorial commentary: Oh wow. Oh wow. Oh wow. If the Afterlife were unpleasant, wouldnt he have said something more profane? Similarly, I have forced myself to think of the last print edition of Newsweek magazine as a transition rather than yet more evidence of The Death of Print. The last hard copy, which left the presses a few days ago, is merely the magazines passing from this life to the next. Dust to dust; paper to digital? It isnt quite as poetic as our earth-to-heaven transmogrification, but it will have to do. Whats the alternative? We printosaurs can mourn the loss of our medium, or

raising anyones tax rates. Boehner tried to get the House to vote for higher taxes only on incomes above $1 million but dropped the effort when it became clear he didnt have the votes. Republicans also insist on deeper spending cuts than Democrats want to make. And they want to bring the nations long-term debt under control by significantly curtailing the growth of Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security changes that many Democrats oppose. Obama, meanwhile, wants more temporary economic stimulus spending to help speed up a sluggish recovery. Republicans say the nation cant afford it. Its Not Just Washington Seems like they could just make nice, shake hands and split their differences, right? But theres a reason neither side wants to give ground. The two parties represent a divided and inconsistent America. True, Obama just won re-election. But voters also chose a Republican majority in the House. Republican and Democrats alike say they are doing what the voters back home want. Neither side has a clear advantage in public opinion. In an Associated Press-GfK poll, 43 percent said they trust the Democrats more to manage the federal budget deficit and 40 percent preferred the Republicans. Theres a similar split on whos more trusted with taxes. About half of Americans support higher taxes for the wealthy, the poll says, and about 10 percent want tax increases all around. Still, almost half say cutting government services, not raising taxes, should be the main focus of lawmakers as they try to balance the budget. When asked about specific budget cuts being discussed in Washington, few Americans express support for them. The Countdown Time for deal-making is short, thanks to the holiday and congressional calendars. Some key dates for averting the fiscal cliff: Lawmakers didnt begin returning to the Capitol until Thursday, leaving less than a week to vote on a compromise before years end. Obama returned Thursday from his Christmas vacation in Hawaii. The president asked congressional leaders to the White House Friday to try to resolve the fiscal cliff. If lawmakers reach Dec. 31 without a deal, some economists worry that the financial markets might swoon. The current Congress is in session only through noon Eastern time on Jan. 3. After that, a newly elected Congress with 13 new senators and 82 new House members would inherit the problem.

Point of View
we can frolic in fresh clover. Or so they the bloggerTwitter hordes keep telling us. Still. Frolic as we may, the celebrate-new-media prescription falls short of palliative. This is because, notwithstanding the obvious benefits of new vehicles for old passengers, there is something uniquely sublime about print that has nothing to do with content. Hard copy is a fullon sensory experience. Yes, the words are the same, whether perceived on paper or on a small, illuminated screen. But the experience is not. One can read One Hundred Years

hear, feel and smell the story in the same way. Im unlikely to race to the sofa, there to nuzzle an electronic gizmo, with the same anticipation as with a book. Or to the hammock with the same relish I would with a new magazine. Somehow, napping with a gadget blinking notice of its dwindling power doesnt hold the same appeal as falling asleep in the hammock with your paperback opened to where you dozed off. This is not mysterious. Paper, because it is real, provides an organic connection to our natural world: The tree from whence the paper came; the sun, water and soil that nourished the tree. By contrast, a digital device is alien, man-made, hard and cold to human flesh. Future generations may never know the satisfaction of print, nor, likely, miss it

-- a recognition that is both sad and startling. One of my earliest and fondest memories is of reading with my father, who taught me not only to love words but also to appreciate the smell of a book. Even today, I judge a book by its smell and am always surprised when others dont employ this obvious method of criticism. Smell is fundamental to our being from our first moments. Babies use smell to recognize and bond with their mother; memories can be jarred by smell; and cognitive functioning has been tied to olfactory stimulation. With near certainty, I can predict that no future adult will fondly recall the scent of a favorite, childhood laptop. Smell is also connected to what we now call Old Journalism. Ask anyone with decades experience in a print newsroom and theyll likely

confess a love affair with the newsroom itself a sensory universe that once included the smells of coffee, cigarettes, ink and paper, including carbon paper. It was, above all, a people place that over time has become something else more efficient, perhaps, but less human. Tension between man and machine is an old science-fiction plot that just happens no longer to be fictional. The more digitally entrenched we become, the less human our interactions. Social media replace human gatherings; online porn becomes a substitute for relationships; email is less trouble than dialing a number and making small talk. Everything at the click of a button has made it less likely well take the trouble to exchange pleasantries with a fellow human. I am hardly immune to some of these digital con-

veniences. I order out, shop online, have groceries delivered, and resent the phone. I read newspapers and magazines online because its easier, cleaner and I can stay in bed. Still. Theres no substitute for opening ones front door the morning after a blizzard and finding a rolled newspaper wrapped in plastic, reassuring us once more that no matter what nature doles out, human beings will deliver the paper. Of course, this same newspaper was the product of digital processes for which we are ever grateful. Likewise, well cheer the next technological advances as we mourn the passing of old ways. Even true believers grieve the death of loved ones, no matter how wow their parting. Kathleen Parkers email address is kathleenparker@ washpost.com.

Lady Cats, Lancers advance to Chatt finals; Wildcat boys fall

By JIM METCALFE jmetcalfe@ delphosherald.com ROCKFORD One Jefferson basketball team had to claw and scratch its way to a 48-47 win over Sidney Fairlawn Friday night at the Chatt Insurance Holiday Tournament. The other had a long road to hoe to deal with an athletic Cincinnati Finneytown before faltering on the boys side 58-44. The Lincolnviewq girls had an easy tine if it in destroying the host Lady Panthers 65-33. After all was done, Jefferson and Lincolnview set up a finals matchup at 6:20 p.m. tonight and the Jefferson boys will take on Parkway in the consolation bracket at 4:40 p.m. In a girls barnburner, the Lady Wildcats (4-6) had to survive both cold shooting from the field (16-of-63 for the night, 2-of-12 long range, for 25.4%) and the foul line (14-of-32 for 43.8%) to grab the win. We had a hard time hitting baskets. At first, we were a little too quick with some shots, Jefferson mentor Dave Hoffman said. As the game wore on, we slowed ourselves down some and took better shots by moving the ball around to open spots against the zone but we still struggled to hit anything consistent. Our free-throw shooting didnt help; we could have gotten back quicker or built bigger leads through the game if not for missing free throws. Jefferson needed to overcome a height disadvantage as well versus the Lady Jets, with three girls 5-10 or bigger, and thus a rebounding mismatch of 47-30. It came down to the fourth period, where the Lady Wildcats had a 36-29 deficit to crawl out from to begin the last eight minutes. That they did with their half-court 1-2-2 trap that continuously forced the Jets to one side or the other and into double teams and thus turnovers (13 for the quarter, 33 for the game versus 10 for the Red and White). Still, it remained difficult to cut into the deficit with the chilly shooting from both the field and the free-throw line but finally they did. It came down to a final turnover by the Wildcats to give the Jets a chance down a point with 6.9 ticks on the clock. Olivia Cummins (13 markers, 13 boards, 4 blocks) was harrassed into a poor shot and before anyone could get possession of the ball for another shot, time ran out. We didnt match up well with them size-wise but we were quicker. Us going to the half-court trap was the difference, Hoffman continued. We anticipated well and really forced them to go quicker than they wanted; we got some turnovers that led to easy baskets and made thigns easier for us offensively. We

Jefferson junior Austin Jettinghoff handles the ball against Finneytowns Bally Butler Friday night at Rockford. (Delphos Herald/Brian Bassett) still missed a lot of easy shots and free trows but the girls could easily have quit at any time as bad as things were going. They stuck with it mentally. Fairlawn shot much better from the floor 18-of45 (44.4%) and 7-of-14 from the line (50%). Haley Slonkosky led the Jets with 16 markers and added 10 boards and Megan Dudgeon also had 10 boards. The Red and White placed three in double digits: junior Gabby Pimpas with 14, junior Hannah Sensibaugh 13 and classmate Rileigh Stockwell 10. The Wildcats struggled against the sagging 1-3-1 matchup zone employed by the Jets in the opening period, shooting a lot of jumpers over the top and not getting a lot of baskets. Their own mix of man-to-man, 1-3-1 zone and 2-3 zone didnt really allow the bigger girls of the Jets to dominate on the block, though they did have troubles on the glass. Jefferson (4-6) garnered an 11-5 lead after one but the Jets outscored them 16-9 the second period to take a 21-20 edge. The second half, Jefferson began to put Stockwell at the free-throw line, which enabled her or anyone else Hoffman put there to get to the basket and draw fouls, getting Fairlawn into deep foul trouble as the game wore on. Still, the Jets managed to keep the lead and took that 7-point edge into the finale. That was the second key for us the second half; getting the ball to some quicker girls at the high post and letting them penetrate to the basket. We were either getting baskets or free throws, Hoffman added. We survived a game like this. Again, we stayed with it when things were going badly and fought our way out of the hole. The Lady Lancers (7-2) had a much easier time of it in the opener, taking advantage of great ball movement that led to 50.9-percent shooting (28-of-55, including 4-of-6 3-balls) and a defense that forced 26 Lady Panther turnovers. These girls are so unselfish; they dont care who gets the points. We make a living on forcing turnovers; that is when we play our best, Lincolnview coach Dan Williamson noted. It gets us into an aggressive mentality, which is how we have to play to be effective, and it creates easier shots for us. For Parkway head coach Lynn Hughes, turnovers were the story. That is a lot of possession that get you nowhere; thats that many less shots we get, she explained. We have to learn to take care of the basketball because a lot of those turnovers led to transition looks. Not only does it help them beat us down the floor offensively but we struggled to get back on defense anyway. Katie Dye led the Lincolnview effort with 16 markers and eight assists, adding four boards and four steals, while Claire Dye added 12 markers (6 boards, 4 thefts) and Kaitlyn Brant (7 boards, 3 blocks, 4 steals) and Hannah McCleery 10 counters each. Sierra Fent was high scorer for the Panthers (2-7) with 10 markers (7 caroms, 4 blocks, 3 steals) and Cami Hellwarth and Terra Walls (6 boards) added eight each. Both teams wanted to push the tempo and they combined for 12-of-29 shooting the first period. Katie Dye dropped in 10 and Brant six in the period as the Lancers led 20-12 after one after Fent hit a short shot at 1:10. Fent scored six for the host team and Hellwarth four. Lincolnview kept up its scoring pace and the Panthers could not keep up, especially with the Lancers forcing 12 errors. That led to a lot of transition attempts and a 38-20 edge when Julia Thatcher (5 steals) hit a basket with 11 ticks left. Lincolnviews quickness and excellent balance offensively, as well as their defense and rebounding against the bigger Panthers, continued to take command in the third stanza. When Hannah McCleery laid one in with 6.1 ticks on the board,

Lancers outgun Fort Jennings 57-40 By JIM COX DHI Correspondent jimrosie@roadrunner.com FORT JENNINGS Lincolnviews 13-0 run in the first quarter turned a 5-2 deficit into a 15-5 lead and the Lancers never gave it up during a 57-40 trouncing of Fort Jennings Friday night. Lincolnview is now 3-5, while the Musketeers fall to 1-8. Junior point guard Kyle Willams was the igniter for the visitors. He started the game with a nifty baseline drive and layup. After Jennings got two free throws from Connor Wallenhorst and a corner 3-pointer by Kurt Warnecke to lead 5-2, the Lancers took charge. Justis Dowdy picked off a Musketeer pass and went the distance -- 5-4, Fort Jennings. After two missed Musketeer free throws, Williams swished a three from the left corner, Dowdy canned a nice up-and-under layup, Williams drained a long one from the right wing, and Kade Carey landed a trey from the left corner -15-5, Lincolnview, with 1:35 left in the first quarter. The Muskies then got a layup from Josh Wittler (assist Warnecke) and two freebies by Warnecke, but Carey scored at the buzzer on an alley-oop from Williams to make it 17-9 after one. Williams started the second period with his own personal 7-2

run -- elbow jumper, trifecta from straight out, 17-footer from the top of the key -- and the lead was 24-11 with 6:18 on the clock. A twisty layup by Dowdy pushed the lead to 26-11. Thats when Jennings made its last serious threat via a 9-1 run (putback of his own miss by Brandon Kohli, layup by Austin Kehres, Josh Wittler three from out front, 12-foot banker by Warnecke) -- 27-20, Lancers, at 2:58. Enter Eli Farmer off the Lancer bench to nail a three from the left wing, a putback and a buzzer-beating long ball from the left side to put the visitors in command 37-23 at the break. Williams had piled up 17 points in the first 16 minutes. Both teams had shot well but Lincolnview had launched twice as many field goal attempts (32, hitting 15) as had Fort Jennings (16, making 7). That was due primarily to a huge turnover disparity -- 13 for the Musketeers, only two for the Lancers. Fort Jennings solved its turnover problem in the third quarter, committing only one, but went cold from the field (4-for-14), allowing the home team to gain only one point -- 47-34 after three periods. If there was still any doubt, the Lancers erased that quickly in the final quarter by starting with a 7-0 run (Dowdy freebie, Nick Leeth layup, two Williams free throws, interception and breakaway by Carey) to lead 54-34.

Lincolnview had a lot more field goal attempts and was much more accurate -- 23-of-53 (44%) to 14-of38 (37%). The Lancers had only seven turnovers; four of those came in the third quarter. The Musketeers had only four miscues in the second half, giving them 17 for the game. Neither team gave any free-throw lessons, Lincolnview hitting 5-of10 (50%), Fort Jennings 8-of-15 (53%). The Lancers won the boards 32-26. We wanted to pressure the basketball and get the tempo up a little bit -- I thought we did that, said Lincolnview coach Brett Hammons. I think the game played more to our pace. We got some easy shots in transition, which is the way we score best. I enjoyed the way our kids played. We got after it at both ends and we had some guys step up tonight. We havent been shooting it very well all season. I think we shot 44 percent tonight, which is the best weve shot all year. Williams had almost no looks at the basket in the second half but still finished with 21 points. He got solid support from Dowdy, Carey and Farmer with 9, 9 and 8. Warnecke played his usual solid all-around game and led Musketeer scoring with 14. Kohli and Wallenhorst added 10 and 8. Each team was without a starter. Musketeer Chad Recker is out with a knee injury. Lancer Mark Evans is

they ran their lead to 53-28. All that was left was the shouting in the fourth period as both teams emptied their benches as much as they could and Lincolnview held the biggest lead of 32 twice. We had been off eight days and I was concerned wed have some rust. After the first couple of minutes, that went away; we got it back quickly from how we were playing before Christmas, Williamson added. Katie Dye really sets the table for us in so many ways; she is our instigator. She gets us into transition, she plays great defense with her quickness and distributes the ball. Kaitlyn did a great job defending their bigger people inside; that was our second concern with their size. I felt we defended and rebounded well. In toto, Lincolnview added 6-of-13 singles (46.2%); 31 rebounds (13 offensive); 17 errors; and nine fouls. This has been a common theme this year; we showed glimpses but not for a long time, Hughes added. We cant sustain anything for long. We have a couple of good possessions but then have a number of possessions that get us nothing.

Both teams have struggled this year to put wins in the scoring column with the Indians only hav-

ing one win and the Big Green two on the season. Ottoville was able to snatch away a come-from-behind overtime win over the Indians 55-53. The first quarter saw both teams come out very strong defensively, especially the Indians constantly double teaming and pressing the Big Green all over the court. The Big Green responded well behind their senior leadership at the guard position in Ryan Honigford and Derek Schimmoeller. The Big Green used three 3-pointers from Honigford, junior Brandt Landin and sophomore Austin Honigford in outscoring the Indians 15-9 after the first eight minutes of play. The Indians started off cold from the field and were forced into five turnovers during the quarter by the Big Green. The Indians were led in scoring by freshman Jay Thomas with 4 points and senior Thomas Nolte with 3 points. The second quarter found the Indians starting to find their mark beyond the arc with 3-pointers being drained by senior Thad Vernon, sophomore Jaden ONeal and at the buzzer by junior Josh Bishop coming off the bench. The Indians outscored the Big Green in the second 16-11 and led by one 25-24 going to the locker room. The Big Green kept pace in the quarter by going 7-o-8 from the stripe as (Ryan) Honigford was 4-of-4 and

junior Luke Schimmoeller 3-of-4, accounting for seven of the teams 11 points scored in the stanza. The third quarter again saw the Indians increasing their pressure on both ends and using the 3-ball to extend their lead on the Big Green, scoring 15 points in the quarter, but again nine of them came beyond the arc as Bishop drained two more and Nolte added his second to his total for the evening. The Big Green, as they have done all year, battle every second of the game and used a 7-point quarter by (Ryan) Honigford to stay within striking range 40-35 after three quarters of play. Big Green head coach Todd Turnwald was pleased with his seniors performance on the evening: Ryan played a great game tonight on both ends of the court and was able to drain 9-of-10 from the stripe tonight to help us stay in the game in the second quarter and finish the night strong. As so many games have went this year for Turnwald, the Big Green found themselves trailing heading into the final eight minutes of play. They used a cold-shooting, turnover-happy Indians squad in the final period and took advantage of their excellent foul shooting on the night (6-7 in the fourth quarter) to battle all the way back to tie the

Walleye Madness Although Port Clinton is a small town, its spirit is huge especially on New Years Eve! For the past 16 years, thousands have braved the cold and gathered for hours, waiting for the Madness at Midnight Walleye Drop. Port Clinton is the Walleye Capital of the World, so what else would they do on New Years Eve but drop a 20-foot, 600-pound walleye from the sky at the stroke of Midnight? The availability of a prolific new food supply is not necessarily good for the robin. In general, berries produced by these nonnative plants are the equivalent of vegetative M & Ms. They are high in sugar and low in lipids and proteins. Its the latter two ingredients that are vital to providing long-term sustenance for birds attempting to overwinter in harsh climates. If an ice storm or heavy snowfall keeps the birds from the berries, theyll

PICKS

The small-town USA energetically promotes the celebration through the participation of local businesses. Restaurants prepare walleye specialties such as Walleye Chowder, Walleye Sandwiches, Walleye Cinnamon Chips and Walleye Popcorn. A local winery has even created a Walleye White wine to honor the citys walleye fame, recognizing the momentum of Port Clintons Madness at Midnight. History of the Walleye Drop The Walleye Drop idea came to life when Drop Man Dan Sedlak, with the support of the Big Fish Mayor Tom Brown, presented his idea to the Ottawa County Visitors Bureau and the Port Clinton Chamber of Commerce. With the assistance of John Fellhauer; Johns dad, Bob; Dans brother Kevin; and Ron Miller of OurGuest Inn, the Drop became a reality that cold December of 1996; 15 years later, the event is a huge success! The event is an outdoor celebration (other than the heated tent) and its not uncommon to face less than 10-degree weather with the special Lake Erie wind chill! So bundle up! Brrrrrr..... Meet Captain Wylie the Walleye! Wylie comes in many forms. The costume Wylie was designed by Barb Bouska and he can be spotted at fairs, parades, schools and senior centers. Hes made appearances on TV stations from both Toledo and Cleveland. The City of Port Clinton has embraced Wylie as their city mascot. The original papier-mache Wylie weighed in at 120 pounds and measured 17 feet long. He was created by Andre Cuthel, a contemporary artist from Berea. Wylie was replaced by his fiberglass successor after a rough New Years celebration in 1997 that caused him to crack (literally)! The Wylie that is lowered today has grown a bit since those early days. He is a 20-foot, 600-lb. fiberglass fish that was created by Jim Wendt of Jims Taxidermy. ----Robins No Longer a Sign of Spring By Jim McCormac, Ohio Division of Wildlife For as long as people have been watching birds in North America, the American robin has served as the quintessential harbinger of spring. This distinctive thrush, with its brick red underparts and penchant for stalking suburban lawns, is familiar to nearly everyone. The arrival of robins at winters end heralds warmer days and the red-breasts usher in an ever-increasing cascade of spring flora and fauna. John Maynard Wheaton, in an 1879 report on the birds of Ohio, noted that: ...the Robin arrives about the middle of February and remains until November. While small numbers of robins have probably always overwintered in Ohio, even in Wheatons time, most of them fled south. The status of wintertime robins has changed a lot since the olden days and if you think youre seeing more of them when the snow flies, youre right. Perhaps the best gauge of wintering bird populations is provided by Christmas Bird Counts (CBC). Overseen by the National Audubon Society, CBCs began in 1900 and have mushroomed from 25 counts to 2,200 worldwide, mobilizing an army of 63,000 birders. Ohio has its fair share of CBCs about 75 at present, in all quarters of the state. As each count covers a 15-mile diameter circle and are undertaken from mid-December through early January, they do a good job of assessing Ohios winter bird life. The last five decades of Christmas Bird Count data illustrates that there are indeed more robins with frosty toes. Ohio counts from 1962 thru 1971 collectively tallied an average of 4,370 American robins each year. That total is peanuts by todays standards. The number of wintertime robins has skyrocketed over the last 50 years and the annual average of Ohio CBCs over the last decade was a staggering 29,373. The wintering robin explosion is a widespread trend across northern North America. For instance, the province of Ontario, Canada our neighbor to the north has documented a similar spike in robins. The million dollar question: why the major increase in wintering robins? It would be easy to point a finger at climate change but warming temperatures are probably a minor factor, if a factor at all. Non-native plants are the true culprit enticing robins to stay north. In the colder months, robins turn largely to a diet of fruit and the abundance of ornamental crabapples, hawthorns and other berry-producing landscape plants offers an ever-increasing buffet for the birds. Even more prolific are various invasive bush honeysuckles, which jumped the garden fence and now run rampant across the land. Honeysuckles produce bumper crops of berries, which robins feast upon.

quickly find themselves in peril. A diet dominated by non-native fruit doesnt provide robins with adequate energy resources to ride out prolonged bouts of bad weather. The 113th Christmas Bird Count will take place from December 14, 2012, through January 5, 2013. Find a count near you and sign up to participate. After nearly two years of internal discussions, budget modeling, head-scratching and intense decision-making, two major changes will come to the program. First, the CBC is now a free program. Audubon will no longer charge the $5 fee of field participants. Second, to minimize the effects of the loss of fee income, American Birds will no longer be printed on paper and mailed to participants and Audubon will move to an online delivery of the summary results of the CBC. Tens of thousands of volunteers throughout the Americas will take part in an adventure that has become a family tradition among generations. Families and students, birders and scientists, armed with binoculars, bird guides and checklists, go out on an annual mission - often before dawn. For over 100 years, the desire to both make a difference and to experience the beauty of nature has driven dedicated people to leave the comfort of a warm house during the holiday season. Each of the citizen scientists who annually braves snow, wind or rain to take part in the Count makes an enormous contribution to conservation. Audubon and other organizations use data collected in this longest-running wildlife census to assess the health of bird populations - and to help guide conservation action. From feeder-watchers and field observers to count compilers and regional editors, everyone who takes part in the CBC does it for love of birds and the excitement of friendly competition -- and with the knowledge that their efforts are making a difference for science and bird conservation. -----Contributions to Wildlife Made Easy!

game at 45-45. Both teams had their chances to win it but Noltes 3-pointer at the buzzer didnt fall and overtime period was going to be needed. The overtime was a contrast in styles as the Indians battled and were throwing shots up from all over. The Big Green continued to run their offensive sets, looking inside to Schimmoeller and Landin, in addition using the hot hand from the stripe to extend their lead in overtime. The biggest moment of the game came midway through the overtime when Landin was fouled and subsequently the Indians were called for a technical foul, sending the Big Green to the line for four shots; they connected on three. The Big Green went on to be 10-13 from the line in overtime and were 24-of-31 (77%) for the game. Coach Turnwald was all smiles after the game: Im so extremely proud of these guys tonight. Ive said all year our record doesnt indicate the hard work and heart these kids have shown day after day in practice and on game nights. Weve talked about execution down the stretch of a game and tonight we were able to accomplish that and get a very tough and hard-earned win over a Division II team on the road.

Can you suggest something for me? -- Joan A., Arizona Dear Joan: Please try Bar Keepers Friend (barkeepersfriend.com) if its not lacquered. Theres a coupon available on the website. You can typically find Bar Keepers Friend at Wal-Mart, Ace Hardware, Target, Lowes, Home Depot and Kmart. You can also try Bon Ami, which can be found in many of the same stores. Dear Sara: I enjoyed your article on cookie stamps. Can you give me idea where to find them? -- Bonnie, Arizona Dear Bonnie: You can find cookie stamps in many retail stores during the holiday season. Their availability can be fairly random and depends on what stores decide to carry them. Try Macys. Nordic Ware, Wilton and Norpro are some of the more popular brands found in local stores. I like the clay type available for purchase at Rycraft (cookiestamp.com) and JBK Pottery (jbkpottery.com). Sears sells JBK Pottery, too. QVC, WilliamsSonoma, Pampered Chef and Stampin Up sometimes offer cookie stamps. There are also many lovely glass and clay stamps available for sale on eBay. com, Etsy.com and Amazon.com.

and had lots of friends, but at age 49, she was in a nursing home. Now the only person who visits is her daughter. I was diagnosed with MS in 1961 at age 19. In 1962, I became wheelchair bound. Im fortunate to have a loving, caring husband of 52 years who does the things I cannot do for myself. This disease turns your life upside down. It makes the MS patient feel like a burden to society. But disabled people want to be loved, too. I have a chin-controlled power chair to move around in. I can use the computer with a voice-activated system, and I listen to books on tape. I stay as active as my limitations will allow. But with everything I do, someone has to assist me. I am blessed to have my husband. For people who say theyre bored: How about volunteering for the disabled? Faithful Follower in Florida Dear Florida: A wonderful suggestion. Approximately 400,000 Americans are currently diagnosed with MS. For those who want more information, please contact the National MS Society at nationalmssociety.org.

The Herald 9

Tomorrows Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol
SUNDAY, DECEMBER 30, 2012 Although your material prospects appear to be quite hopeful in the year ahead, youre likely to generate funds in spurts instead of at a consistent rate. Be prudent in order to minimize the lean times. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- If someone with whom youre closely involved is doing things differently from you, dont try to make him or her over in your own image. This persons way might actually be better. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Be smart when choosing a partner, because aligning yourself with an ineffective ally could seriously impede your progress. Make sure the other party possesses what you lack. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Avoid inclinations to make hard work out of something that should be relatively simple. Adopting a poor attitude could destroy both your initiative and purpose. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -Even if youre usually pretty good at managing your resources, theres a good chance you may not be so currently. Double-check everything that is costing you money. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -Associates are likely to ignore you if they feel youre not setting the kind of example they want to follow. Dont expect others to do what you wont do yourself. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -Although you might be analytical and very observant, if you focus merely on the negative, these attributes may be squandered. Instead of being assertive, youll end up a defeatist. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- If an endeavor in which youre involved is not turning out to be as promising as youd hoped, reassess it so that you dont spend any more money on it than you need to. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Even though its in you to be an aboveaverage achiever, you might start focusing only on objectives that would provide you with little or no gratification. Try to look before you leap. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Challenges might normally bring out the best in you, but if youre not careful, you could easily waffle under pressure owing to an insecure attitude. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- If you can, you should avoid all activities that require a lot of money in order to be fun. Youre not likely to get value for your dollars. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -Whenever youre not up to making decisions for yourself, you can bet your bottom dollar others will do so for you. Its important to be your own person if you hope to get what you want. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Upon occasion, your hunches are right on target, but your intuitive processes could start playing tricks on you. Rely solely on your logic. MONDAY, DECEMBER 31, 2012 Not only are improvements in your financial situation indicated in the year ahead, but it looks like your social life will also be picking up considerably. You wont have anything to complain about. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Someone who is deeply interested in you but isnt demonstrative might once again quietly do something nice for you. Be more alert. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Youre likely to make an extremely good impression on someone you meet. This could be the start of a close bond and a special relationship. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- A certain endeavor will give you a real sense of achievement. Youll like the way you handle things, and youll gain the admiration of others. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -Perhaps more than you may realize, youve become extremely popular with your peers lately. Something really nice might happen to make you recognize this fact. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Instead of waiting and hoping something good will happen, take control of your destiny, and work hard to make important changes occur. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -Dont be reluctant to make a rather difficult decision, especially if you have the necessary vital facts at your disposal. Just do what you believe is best for everybody. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -The new year indicates a great deal of improvement concerning your financial interests, but, of course, you must be alert in order to take advantage of these winds of change. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Even if your desires are of a material nature, you must first focus on the human relationships involved. This might entail taking a circuitous route to get what you want. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -There are still plenty of opportunities to break through certain avenues that you have either missed or ignored. Check out every possibility that comes your way. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Because your chart indicates that you will be quite popular with members of the opposite gender, this could turn out to be a rather extraordinary day for you. Make the most of it. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -If you are in need of a special favor, your chances of getting it are pretty good, but you must first ask for help. People cant read minds, so dont expect them to automatically know your needs. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- News youve been anxiously awaiting is on its way, and its likely to be good. If you have to go out, check all your sources of incoming info as often as you can. COPYRIGHT 2012 United Feature Syndicate, Inc.

BY ANN SANNER The Associated Press COLUMBUS Ohio has spent fewer dollars on Medicaid than expected under its current two-year budget. State officials have been working to rein in the cost of the $19.8 billion health program for low-income people. The slowdown in spending comes as Gov. John Kasich prepares to unveil his next two-year spending blueprint in February. In the budget year ending in June, state figures show that Ohio spent $590 million less in state and federal dollars than it had anticipated. Medicaid spending for the current fiscal year is also tracking below projections. The state has spent about $6.2 billion on Medicaid since July. Thats about $219 million or 3 percent less than it is expected to spend through November, according to the latest data available. Ohio Medicaid Director John McCarthy credited the slowdown to changes in provider reimbursements, more conservative budgeting, better contract negotiations and a new system for filtering and processing claims. Medicaid spending accounts for roughly a third of all funds Ohio gets from state and federal dollars, fees and other sources and currently covers roughly 2.3 million low-income and disabled people in Ohio.
