Voters to
decide on
electric
aggregation
BY MIKE FORD
mford@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS Residents
will have the chance to
look into saving money in
November. When voters go to
the polls, they will see elec-
tricity aggregation on the bal-
lot. Aggregation is the process
in which energy is sold to
consumers who join together
as a group to buy the product.
This can lower the cost by
reducing a suppliers market-
ing and administrative costs.
Passing the ballot measure
makes no final decision other
than to simply authorize the
city to negotiate lower prices
for power. American Electric
Power would remain the local
utility provider.
If this passes, voters can
take what is offered in terms
of the best price the city
can negotiate. Or, they can
choose to opt out and in that
case, AEP has control over
their price. Safety Service
Director Greg Berquist said.
At the end of the day, the res-
idents of Delphos will make
up their mind whether or not
they want to attempt to save
more money. If it passes, all
voters are doing is authorizing
the city to go out and look and
there will be three chances to
back out if it is determined
that it will not work.
A contract would be
negotiated with the electri-
cal distributor and council
would need to agree to the
contract by passing an ordi-
nance accepting it; and each
customer can opt out.
Berquist went on to liken
the ballot measure to city-
wide polling to gauge interest.
If the majority of city voters
pass the measure, the city will
proceed by Berquist request-
ing price quotes from the 16
listed distributors.

Time for flu shots
By LAURAN
NEERGAARD
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON Its
flu vaccine time again
and some lucky shot-seekers
will find that the needle has
shrunk.
The first flu shot that
works with a less-scary skin
prick instead of an inch-long
needle is hitting the mar-
ket this fall. Sorry kids, this
option so far is just for adults,
and its so brand-new that it
will take some searching to
find a dose.
But there are plenty of the
other varieties standard
shots, a special high-dose shot
for seniors and the needle-
free squirt-in-the-nose option
to go around. At least 166
million doses of flu vaccine
are expected to be produced
this year.
The big question is wheth-
er people will get it. Usually
each years flu vaccine varies
from the previous versions
as different influenza strains
emerge. This year, the vac-
cines a duplicate because the
three flu strains that sickened
people last winter still are
circulating.
Scientific studies arent
clear about how much a per-
sons immunity wanes over
a year, although it varies by
age and overall health. But
federal health officials and
the American Academy of
Pediatrics weighed the evi-
dence and say dont skip this

NIAMEY, Niger (AP)
Armed loyalists of Moammar
Gadhafi crossed in several
convoys from Libya into
neighboring Niger and the
toppled Libyan leaders own
security chief was at the head
of one of the columns today
as it rolled into Niamey, the
capital, officials said.
Customs official Harouna
Ide told The Associated Press
that Mansour Dao, Gadhafis
security chief, was at the head
of the first convoy. He said
other Libyan convoys were
south of Agadez in cen-
tral Niger, a desert country
bordering Libya and where
Gadhafi has the support of
many Tuareg tribal fighters.
It wasnt clear if Gadhafi
family members were in the
convoys but al-Arabiya televi-
sion quoted Nigers Foreign
Minister Bazoum Mohamed
as saying Gadhafi himself was
not present.
The custom official said
there were a dozen vehicles
in Daos convoy, and that
among passengers were about
12 Gadhafi officials, Nigers
Tuareg rebel leader Rissa ag
Boula and other Tuaregs from
Niger who had gone to Libya
to fight for Gadhafi.
Abdoulaye Harouna, owner
of the Agadez Info newspaper,
said he saw one of the groups
arrive in his town Monday in
several dozen pickup trucks. He
said they headed for the capi-
tal, Niamey, a drive of some
600 miles (965 kilometers). The
capital is in Nigers southwest-
ern corner near the nation of
Burkina Faso, where Gadhafi
has been offered asylum.
Harouna said he saw
Boula in the convoy. Boula
is a native of Niger who led
a failed war of independence
on behalf of ethnic Tuareg
nomads a decade ago before
seeking refuge in Libya.
The government of Burkina
Faso said late last month they
would recognize the Libyan
rebels National Transitional
Council. Foreign minister
Djibril Bassolet also said
the landlocked West African
nation would welcome
Gadhafi if he wishes it.
A top security official in
Burkina Faso said govern-
ment officials have not been
advised about any convoy
headed for Burkina Faso. The
official asked not to be named
because hes not authorized to
speak to journalists.
Both Niger and Burkina
Faso are signatories to the
International Criminal Court,
which issued an arrest warrant
for the Libyan leader, his son
and the countrys intelligence
chief. But both nations also
belong to the African Union,
which during a July summit
called on member countries to
disregard the warrant.
Western officials said they
did not have any informa-
tion on the convoy. Harouna
says the pro-Gadhafi troops
accompanying Boula were
well-armed.
French Foreign Ministry
spokesman Bernard Valero
said the ministry did not know
who was in the vehicles.
We have no more infor-
mation than you do, he told
a reporter. We are monitor-
ing the movement of these
vehicles, and we will see.
Gadhafis regime is
believed to have financed the
Tuareg rebellion in the north
of Niger. African nations
where Tuaregs represent a sig-
nificant slice of the population,
like Niger, have been among
the last to recognize the rebels
that ousted Gadhafi.
Gadhafi remains especially
popular in towns like Agadez,
a Sahara Desert market town
where a majority of the popu-
lation is Tuareg. There, the
ex-ruler is remembered for his
largesse and for his assistance
to the Tuareg minority during
their fight for autonomy.

years vaccination its
the only way to be sure your
immune system remains revved
enough for the best protection.
Youre not going to be
able to count on that vaccine
protecting you throughout a
second season, says Dr. Lisa
Grohskopf of the Centers
for Disease Control and
Prevention.
A yearly vaccination now
is recommended for virtu-
ally everyone, except babies
younger than 6 months and
people with severe allergies to
the eggs used to make it. Last
year, 49 percent of children
and 41 percent of adults were
vaccinated.
Say you never catch the
flu? You could be a carrier,
unknowingly spreading the
misery when you feel lit-
tle more than a sniffle, says
Dr. William Schaffner of
Vanderbilt University, presi-
dent of the National Foundation
for Infectious Diseases.
You should be vaccinated
each and every year to ensure
both youre protected and
youre giving the maximum
protection to people around
you, he says.
Here are some questions
and answers about flu vaccina-
tions:
Q: How does the new skin-
deep vaccine work?
A: Sanofi Pasteurs Fluzone
Intradermal uses a needle less
than a tenth of an inch long
to inject vaccine just below
the skins surface. This layer,
called the dermis, is so rich in a
certain type of immune cell that
the new shot uses a lower dose
of the same vaccine thats in
regular flu shots. Studies found
it triggered as much protection
as full-strength muscle shots
although it did cause more skin
reactions like redness, swelling
and itching. Theres little data
on pain perception.
But its only for 18- to
64-year-olds. It hasnt been
studied in childrens more-
tender skin. Sanofi estimates
it will sell less than 1 million
doses this year while introduc-
ing the newly approved product
to doctors, before a full market
launch next flu season.
Q: What about the original
ouchless flu vaccine, the nasal-
spray version?
A: MedImmunes FluMist
is for a different age group,
people ages 2 to 49 who are
healthy, meaning no one with
underlying health conditions or
who is pregnant. Unlike flu
shots that are made with killed
flu virus, FluMist is made with
live but weakened virus.
Q: For older adults, does
CDC recommend the high-
dose shot?
A: The immune system
weakens with age so that it
doesnt respond as well to
an ordinary flu shot. Sanofis
Fluzone High-Dose is a stan-
dard into-the-muscle shot
but it contains four times
the usual dose, to spur more
immune response in people
65 and older. First sold last
year, studies still are under
way to track if that trans-
lates into fewer illnesses and
hospitalizations. It can cause
more of the typical flu-shot
side effects. The CDC says
its OK for seniors to choose
either a high-dose shot or the
regular shots from a variety
of manufacturers.
Q: Whos at highest risk
from the flu?
A: Young children, anyone
50 or older, anyone with chron-
ic medical conditions such as
asthma and certain heart or
kidney problems, and pregnant
women. A flu vaccination dur-
ing pregnancy has the added
benefit of passing some protec-
tion to the baby.
Q: When should I get vac-
cinated?
A: Anytime, but it takes
about two weeks for protection
to kick in. Flu typically starts
circulating around November,
and peaks around January.
Some chain pharmacies started
vaccinating a month ago. Next
month, Hawaii begins offering
free in-school vaccinations for
elementary and middle school
students.

TOLEDO (AP) Solar
power is being used by an
increasing number of north-
west Ohio companies want-
ing to save money on their
energy costs.
Local companies say the
potential cost savings and
financing deals that helped
them afford the solar arrays
prompted their investments in
the technology, The Blade in
Toledo reported.
An 84-acre solar array in
Salem Township near Upper
Sandusky is the largest solar
project in northwest Ohio.
The $44 million, 12-mega-
watt solar farm in Wyandot
County began producing
solar power in May, 2010.
The PSEG Wyandot Solar
Farm array produces enough
megawatt hours of solar ener-
gy annually to power 9,000
homes on a sunny day, the
newspaper reported.
Glass manufacturer
Pilkington North America
Inc. in Toledo recently turned
to solar power, and Toledo-
area Walgreens stores are set
to have rooftop solar arrays
installed this fall.
New Jersey-based
Campbell Soup Co.
announced a few months ago
that it will construct a 9.8
megawatt solar array at its
Napoleon plant by the end
of this year. The array is
expected to result in about $4
million in energy cost sav-
ings over the next 20 years,
providing about 15 percent of
the plants power.
Pilkington installed a $1.5
million, 250-kilowatt solar
array this year at its research
and development facility in
Northwood in Wood County.
That array was expected to
contribute only about 12 per-
cent of the research facilitys
energy, but sunny weather
has enabled it to produce
about 190,000 kilowatt hours
of power since it began oper-
ating in March. Thats about
24 percent more power than
originally projected.
Cliff Fleener, environmen-
tal manager at Pilkington,
declined to say how much
money the solar project has
saved the company, but he
said the system has helped
smooth out demand, espe-
cially in the summer months
when you have air condition-
ing being used.
Pilkington may add three
to five new acres of solar
panels to its one-acre array
a move that could supply up
to 50 percent of the facilitys
energy needs, Fleener said.
Sunny weather helped
Metzgers Printing and
Mailing of Toledo save about
$3,000 a month on energy
bills. Metzgers put about 230
kilowatts of solar panels on
two of its buildings roofs
late last year, and may install
another rooftop array.
Our customers are excit-
ed about it, said company
president Joe Metzger. Our
employees are excited about
it.
The popularity of com-
mercial solar installations has
grown, according to a study
released by the Solar Energy
Industries Association.
Companies in the United
States installed 148 mega-
watts of solar technology dur-
ing the first quarter of 2011,
an increase of 119 percent
from the same period last
year. In Ohio, about 9 mega-
watts of solar panels were
installed in the first three
months of this year, the asso-
ciation said.
Public entities also are
turning to solar power. The
Toledo Area Regional Transit
Authority received a $1 mil-
lion grant last month to help
build a solar-panel array at its
headquarters.

AKRON (AP) A nation-
wide shortage of truck drivers
has truck-driver schools in
Ohio working to help truck-
ing companies fill that need
with newly-trained drivers.
Trucking organizations
estimates on the need for
drivers over the next couple
of years range from 100,000
to 500,000, the Akron Beacon
Journal (http://bit.ly/px7cbA)
reported. Industry officials say
the aging of the current driv-
er population and increased
trucking regulations are some
of the reasons contributing to
the tight market.
The shortage is forcing
companies to look more at
hiring students from schools,
even though carriers typi-
cally prefer drivers with one
or more years of experience,
said Kreigh Spahr, program
manager at the Euclid-
based truck-driver school at
Cuyahoga Community col-
lege in northeast Ohio.
Every major carrier is hir-
ing, Spahr told the news-
paper
The founder of the Hamrick
Truck Driving School in
Medina County says most
trucking companies he deals
with come to the school to
recruit. First-year pay typi-
cally is in the low $30,000
range, Denver Hamrick said.
Many trucking compa-
nies also will reimburse new
drivers for tuition, starting at
about $100 to $140 a month,
if they stay with the company
for a set time, Hamrick said.
Schools say many students
are turning to trucking as a
second career.
Gladys Tejada, 37, of
Cuyahoga Falls, previously
worked in quality control
at a Summit County busi-
ness, but expects to gradu-
ate from Hamricks school in
September and start driving a
truck for a living.
While its been more diffi-
cult than she expected, Tejada
said its what she has always
wanted to do.
Every time I drive, I like
it more, she said.
Scott Shy, driver recruiter
for Maverick Transportation
LLC in Little Rock, Ark.,
recently attended an open
house at the Hamrick school
aimed at matching students
and drivers with employers.
Theres just not enough
drivers to fill the needs of the
public, said Shy.
Maverick provides exten-
sive training for new drivers,
but turnover among its driv-
ers is 73 percent every three
months, Shy said.
Rusty Napier, of Napier
Truck Driver Training Inc. in
Hamilton, told The Associated
Press that the school in south-
west Ohio gets calls from
companies around the coun-
try, but doesnt always have
students available.
Most students once
they have their license
have companies waiting for
them, he said
The schools five-week
classes cost $4,195 and only
have about 10 or 12 students,
but these companies pay
people to come talk to them,
Napier said.

Millers hands were a blur
toss, catch, toss, catch -
keeping three colored balls in
the air as eight teens watched,
wondering what juggling
had to do with their stay at
Hamilton Countys school for
juvenile criminals.
Were trying to show
them there are things out
there besides the streets,
said Juvenile Court Judge
Karla Grady.
Miller, owner of Circus
Mojo, has completed two pro-
grams at Hillcrest Training
School. The Springfield
Township correctional and
treatment school is for delin-
quent males ages 12-18 and
too often the last stop before
juvenile prison.
His Cincinnati-based cir-
cus arts program teaches stu-
dents how to juggle, walk on
stilts, balance on a giant ball
and some tumbling in addi-
tion to the real objectives
team building and boosting
self-esteem.
It teaches them respon-
sibility, teamwork, respect
and commitment. All of that
influences their academics
and influences their home
life, said Debbie Hill, of the
nonprofit Community Arts
Initiatives, the agency that
paid for the $6,000, six-week
program at Hillcrest.
Its an unusual step, Grady
admits, to have a clown teach
troubled teens circus skills,
but she wanted to get their
attention. Many of them have
committed serious crimes,
some involving guns.
Our kids are different
street-savvy kids, the judge
said.
Eight Hillcrest students
volunteered for the program,
the second time the school has
held it. They met twice week-
ly for six weeks, building
up to a performance before
about 80 people, including
fellow students, some parents
and school staff.
They started out learn-
ing to juggle handkerchiefs
before progressing over the
weeks to balls and rings.

Vice President Joe Biden, say-
ing organized labor is under
the most direct assault in gen-
erations, urged a major Ohio
union gathering Monday to
lead the way in fighting back.
Its time to turn the tide
in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania,
Florida ... and it seems to me
thats exactly what youre
doing here in Ohio, Biden
said, referring to a campaign
led by Ohio unions that will
try to overturn in a November
statewide vote a Republican-
pushed new law restricting
collective bargaining for pub-
lic employees.
Biden said similar measures
in other states are part of a
fight for the heart and soul of
the labor movement.
This is the fight of your
life, Biden told the annual
AFL-CIO picnic at the Coney
Island park along the Ohio
River. He said organized labor
helped build the middle class,
and is under attack because it
stands as a counterweight to
those with a different value
set who want to concentrate
power.
Its time that we stand up!
said Biden, in a loud voice.
This is about respect. This is
about being treated as equals ...
Its about the dignity of aver-
age, hardworking Americans
... above all, its about basic
fairness.
The Ohio GOP chairman,
Kevin DeWine, said Bidens
visit shows that the Barack
Obama administrations eco-
nomic policies are causing
its labor support to wane as
unemployment remains high.

TOLEDO (AP) The
family of a man shot and killed
after leading Ohio police on a
deadly chase says drugs made
him desperate.
Former wife Tamara Lipp
told The Blade newspaper
that Brian Lipp began using
drugs when an addicted friend
moved in with them.
Toledo court records show
Brian Lipp was arrested in 2001
on a drug charge, but later con-
victed of a lesser offense. The
friend moved in with the Lipps
shortly after that. Tamara Lipp
said the friend was addicted
to cocaine, and her husband
started using before too long.
Brian tried it, and he had
and addictive personality, and
it stuck, she told the news-
paper.
Brian Lipp, who was origi-
nally from Bedford Township,
Mich., had been married twice
and had a son from the first
marriage and a daughter from
the second.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
By JIM ABRAMS
Associated Press
WASHINGTON Still
bruised by the summer bat-
tle over the debt ceiling,
Congress reconvenes this
week for what could be an
equally painful confrontation
over how to put Americans
back to work.
Lawmakers returning to
Washington after a month-
long recess are in accord on
at least one thing: Jobs policy
must be at the top of the
agenda. Theres scant hope
they will put aside their dif-
ferences long enough to come
up with legislation that makes
measurable improvements
either to the unemployment
rate or Congress dismal
approval rate.
Even the main attrac-
tion of the first week back,
President Obamas speech to
a joint session of Congress
outlining his jobs policy, had
to be pushed back a day,
until Thursday. Republicans
balked at letting Obama pre-
empt their partys presiden-
tial debate on the first day the
House is in session.
When Obama does get
to the House podium, hes
likely to get a cool reception
from the GOP side of the
aisle. Republicans may go
along with tax break propos-
als but wont be friendly to
ideas to extend jobless ben-
efits or spend money on new
construction projects.
House Republicans have
prepared an autumn jobs
agenda that centers on repeal-
ing what they say are job-
destroying environmental
and labor regulations. The
first bill, slated for the week
of Sept. 12, would prevent
the National Labor Relations
Board from restricting where
an employer can locate in the
United States. It grows out
of a complaint issued by the
NLRB that Boeing Co. was
punishing union workers with
plans to transfer an assembly
line from Washington state to
South Carolina.
The anti-regulation bills
are likely to hit a dead end
in the Democratic-controlled
Senate. But the threat of them
prompted Obama last week to
scrap tougher Environmental
Protection Agency regula-
tions on ozone, a key ingredi-
ent of smog that causes asth-
ma and other lung illnesses.
While talking jobs, law-
makers will have one eye
on the initial meetings of the
supercommittee established
under legislation enacted
in early August to increase
the federal debt ceiling. The
bipartisan committee has
until Nov. 23 to come up
with at least $1.2 trillion in
deficit cuts. If it fails to do
so or if Congress fails to
approve its recommendations
by Christmas, automatic
spending cuts covering both
defense and domestic pro-
grams would be triggered
starting in 2013.
More immediately,
Congress must stop itself
from actually causing unem-
ployment. Obama, in his
address, is expected to urge
lawmakers to act swiftly to
renew aviation and surface
transportation programs and
avoid shutdowns that he said
could put 1 million jobs at
risk.
The Federal Aviation
Administration has been oper-
ating on short-term exten-
sions since 2007 because the
House and Senate cant agree
on a comprehensive plan for
the future. Earlier this year,
the FAA had to shut down
for two weeks, resulting in
tens of thousands of construc-
tion worker layoffs and $400
million in uncollected airline
ticket taxes. The agency will
shut down again on Sept. 16
unless Congress acts.
Similarly, the law that
authorizes federal spend-
ing for highway and mass
transit programs expires on
Sept. 30. A stalemate there
could disrupt collection of
the 18.4-cent-a-gallon federal
gas tax and have a far more
devastating effect on con-
struction jobs.
House Transportation
Committee Chairman John
Mica, R-Fla., said at the
end of August that he would
agree to one more short-term
extension, the eighth, as he
negotiates with the Senate on
a long-term bill. Mica has
proposed a six-year, $230
billion bill financed entirely
by gasoline and diesel taxes.
The Senate is calling for a
two-year, $109 billion bill
that would rely on $12 billion
appropriated by Congress in
addition to the fuel tax rev-
enues.
Sour mood over economy
awaits lawmakers return
By PHILIP ELLIOTT
Associated Press
COLUMBIA, S.C.
Pledging fidelity to the
Constitution and vowing to
carry the tea partys prior-
ities to the White House,
the Republicans chasing the
GOPs presidential nomi-
nation pitched themselves
Monday to their partys
libertarian activists as the
strongest candidates to roll
back four years of President
Barack Obamas tenure.
Former Massachusetts
Gov. Mitt Romney said
the Obama administration
flouted the Constitution
to push a political agenda.
Rep. Michele Bachmann of
Minnesota stridently called
Obamas policies unconsti-
tutional at the same tea par-
ty-backed forum on Labor
Day. Texas Gov. Rick Perry,
the third member of his par-
tys top tier, told a separate
town hall-style audience ear-
lier in the day that he has a
better record on jobs than the
president.
With Labor Day mark-
ing the unofficial start to the
2012 campaign, the contend-
ers were painting themselves
to the tea party during an
afternoon forum with Sen.
Jim DeMint in his home state
site of the first nomi-
nating contest in the South.
The event was designed to
probe the candidates on their
views of spending, taxes and
the Constitution bedrock
principles for the tea party
activists whose rising clout is
likely to shape the nominat-
ing process.
I dont think Ive ever
seen an administration who
has go further afield from
the Constitution ... than the
Obama administration, not
just with regulation, but with
energy policy, with finan-
cial regulatory policy and,
with the worst example,
Obamacare, Romney said,
outlining conservatives
broad indictment of Obamas
tenure.
It also was a prime oppor-
tunity for the candidates to
level pointed though, in
many cases, familiar criti-
cism of Obama.
The track record we
have creating jobs, Id put
up against anyone running
for president of the United
States, particularly the cur-
rent resident of the White
House, said Perry, whose
late entry into the race threat-
ens Romneys one-time aura
of inevitability with support
from tea partyers.
Bachmann sought to sus-
tain her status as a movement
darling and suitable alterna-
tive to Romney. Though she
never engaged him directly,
her remarks seemed centered
on Romney.
Bachmann warned that
Obama and Democrats
health care legislation was
taking away freedoms and
giving Washington abject
power.
They will become a
dictator over our lives,
she said of federal require-
ments included in the over-
haul that requires Americans
to have health insurance.
Massachusetts requires a
similar mandate.
This is the foundation for
socialized medicine. Make
no mistake about it. It will
change the face of this nation
forever, she warned.
Republican candidates vow loyalty to tea-party
By DARLENE

DETROIT President
Barack Obama used a bois-
terous Labor Day rally to put
congressional Republicans on
the spot, challenging them to
place the countrys interests
above all else and vote to cre-
ate jobs and put the economy
back on a path toward growth.
Show us what youve got,
he said.
In a partial preview of the
jobs speech hes delivering
to Congress Thursday night,
Obama said roads and bridg-
es nationwide need rebuild-
ing and more than 1 million
unemployed construction
workers are itching to get
dirty making the repairs.
He portrayed Congress as an
obstacle to getting that work
done.
Im going to propose ways
to put America back to work
that both parties can agree to,
because I still believe both
parties can work together to
solve our problems, Obama
said at an annual Labor
Day rally sponsored by the
Detroit-area AFL-CIO.
Given the urgency of this
moment, given the hardship
that many people are facing,
folks have got to get together.
But were not going to wait
for them.
Were going to see
if weve got some straight
shooters in Congress. Were
going to see if congressional
Republicans will put country
before party, he said.
Congress returns from its
summer recess this week and
the faltering economy and
jobs shortage are expected to
be a dominant theme.
Besides spending on pub-
lic works, Obama said he
wants pending trade deals
passed to open new markets
for U.S. goods. He also said
he wants Republicans to
prove theyll fight as hard to
cut taxes for the middle class
as they do for profitable oil
companies and the wealthiest
Americans.
The president is expected
to call for continuing a pay-
roll tax cut for workers and
jobless benefits for the unem-
ployed. Some Republicans
oppose extending the payroll
tax cut, calling it an unproven
job creator that will only add
to the nations massive debt.
The tax cut extension is set to
expire Jan. 1.
Republicans also cite
huge federal budget deficits
in expressing opposition to
vast new spending on jobs
programs.
But Obama said law-
makers need to act and
act quickly. The time for
Washington games is over.
The time for action is now,
he told a supportive union
crowd that Detroit police said
was in the thousands. The
event at a General Motors
Corp. parking lot in the
shadow of the automakers
headquarters building had the
sound and feel of a campaign
event, with the union audi-
ence breaking into chants of
Four More Years through-
out the presidents 25-minute
speech.
Obama could be includ-
ing himself in that call for
action. His remarks came as
hes facing biting criticism
from the GOP for presid-
ing over a persistently weak
economy and high unemploy-
ment. Republicans dubbed
him President Zero after a
dismal jobs report last Friday
showed that employers
added no jobs in August
which hasnt happened since
1945. The unemployment
rate, meanwhile, remained
unchanged at 9.1 percent.
The report sparked new
fears of a second recession and
injected fresh urgency into
Obamas efforts to help get
the unemployed back into the
labor market and improve
his re-election chances. No
incumbent in recent times has
been re-elected with a jobless
rate that high, and polls show
the public is losing confi-
dence in Obamas handling
of the economy. His approval
rating on that issue dropped
to a new low of 26 percent in
a recent Gallup survey.
Obama to GOP Show us what youve got
WASHINGTON (AP)
The dismal U.S. job market,
which has intensified fears
of another recession, may be
even worse than the unem-
ployment numbers suggest.
The shockwaves from the
Labor Department report on
Friday that employers stopped
hiring in August have rippled
around the world, sparking a
steep retreat in Asian stock
markets. The lack of hiring in
the U.S. last month surprised
investors economists were
expecting 93,000 jobs to be
added. Previously reported
hiring figures for June and
July were revised lower.
The jobs picture may even
be worse than the 9.1 percent
unemployment rate suggests,
because Americas 14 million
unemployed must also com-
pete with 8.8 million other
people not counted as unem-
ployed part-timers who
want full-time work.
When consumer demand
picks up, companies will like-
ly boost the hours of their
part-timers before they add
jobs, economists say. It means
they have room to expand
without hiring.
Fears that the U.S. econo-
my may be stuck in neutral, or
worse, slammed Asian stocks
and European shares sharp-
ly declined in early trading.
Britains FTSE 100 dropped
1.6 percent to 5,206.56.
Germanys DAX fell 2.7 per-
cent to 5,391.24 and Frances
CAC-40 toppled 2.4 percent
to 3,074.47. Markets in the
U.S. are closed for the Labor
Day holiday.
Earlier in Asia, Japans
Nikkei 225 stock average
sank 1.9 percent to close at
8,784.46 with sentiment also
undermined by the persistent
strength of the yen, which
hurts exporters. Australias
S&P/ASX 200 fell 2.4 per-
cent to 4,141.9 and South
Koreas Kospi slid 4.4 percent
to 1,785.83.
The problem is that there
simply hasnt been any mean-
ingful jobs growth, which is
precisely why markets are
so worried about slipping
back into recession, said
Ben Potter of IG Markets in
Melbourne, Australia.
The unemployed will face
another source of competition
once the economy improves:
Roughly 2.6 million people
who arent counted as unem-
ployed because theyve
stopped looking for work.
Once they start looking again,
theyll be classified as unem-
ployed. And the unemploy-
ment rate could rise.
Intensified competition
for jobs means unemploy-
ment could exceed its historic
norm of 5 percent to 6 percent
for several more years. The
nonpartisan Congressional
Budget Office expects the rate
to exceed 8 percent until 2014.
The White House predicts it
will average 9 percent next
year, when President Barack
Obama runs for re-election.
The back-to-back events
will come days after the gov-
ernment said employers added
zero net jobs in August. The
monthly jobs report, arriv-
ing three days before Labor
Day, was the weakest since
September 2010. Reaction
from U.S. markets wont be
evident until today, when trad-
ing resumes after the holiday.
Combined, the 14 million
officially unemployed; the
underemployed part-timers
who want full-time work; and
discouraged people who
have stopped looking make
up 16.2 percent of working-
age Americans.
Dismal jobs data
shakes markets
Once again a new school
year has begun. Each year
brings new challenges and
experiences. Some are simple
to fix like finding the right
backpack or learning their
locker combination while
other problems may leave
them with scars that will even-
tually leave them stronger but
for the short term will cause
them pain.
The big challenge for a
preschooler may be separating
from mom and dad for half a
day. For some children, this is
a challenge that is met in the
blink of an eye, when they let
go of their moms hand and
run into the classroom without
a look back. For other chil-
dren, this process may take
days or weeks before they are
able to separate without tears.
They need the daily reassur-
ance that you provide them
before you leave and the daily
comfort they receive when
you return as promised at the
end of the day before they
can convince themselves that
attending school on their own
can be fun.
A grade-school child may
struggle with the new demands
of extra and more challenging
homework. Keeping up with
their class work may be diffi-
cult and for the first time they
may be faced with watching
other children in their class
succeed at subjects that they
cant grasp as easily. The real-
ization that they are not great
at everything can come as
a shock to the ego for some
children. You may see this as
a sudden change in attitude
about schoolwork. A child
who formerly liked math sud-
denly develops a hatred for it.
We can deal with this by stat-
ing I didnt like math either
and thus encourage a lifetime
aversion to math, or we can
tell them yeah, some parts
of math can be really hard
but if you work hard at it Im
sure you will be able to figure
it out. It is good for them
to realize that good grades
and hard work go hand and
hand. No matter how bright
the child, eventually they will
be faced with a class that
they will have to work hard
at in order to pass. As I told
my son, if school was sup-
posed to be easy and fun, I
would have enrolled you at
Disneyland Tech and Donald
Duck would be teaching you
math on a log flume ride.
As a child starts middle
school, the biggest problems
seem to center around their
social agenda. Who you eat
lunch with and if so-and-so
thinks you are cute, is at least
as important to them as aca-
demics. Fitting into the right
clique seems paramount at this
age and as kids jostle to find
their place in the school, old
friendships will be lost, new
friendships will be formed
and feelings will be hurt.
It is hard for us to see our
children get left out of a group
or lose a friend and our natural
inclination is to step in and fix
things. Provided that they are
not being tormented or physi-
cally harmed, the best thing
we can do for our child is to
encourage them to join clubs
at school where kids share
similar interests, whether that
be sports, band, computers,
chess, etc Meeting other
kids who enjoy the same
kinds of things will help them
to fit into a new clique of their
own, one in which they will
develop more mature friend-
ships that are based on having
common interests.
In grade school friendships
are often formed because
you sat beside each other in
first grade. It is natural for
us to expand our friendships
beyond alphabetical seating.
Middle school is a time when
your kids explore who they
are. It isnt a personal affront
when kids change friendships
just a change in interests. We
need to reassure our kids that
no matter what chaotic social
agenda is happening at school,
at home there is only one
clique and they will always be
a part of it.
The high schooler is faced
with the prospect of college
or entering the work force.
They are dealing with leaving
childhood behind and learning
to face the world on their own.
These are the years of col-
lege prep courses, SATs, and
school proms. Waiting anx-
iously for college acceptance
letters and watching them
dress up for job interviews.
We watch them make prepara-
tions that we know will even-
tually take them away from
us. We want to hold on tight
because we are convinced that
they cant survive without us,
but we let them go because we
know they can.
No matter where you are
in the journey, you are in for
a wild ride this year. Cheer
for the touchdowns, bandage
the boo-boos, dry the tears
and laugh about the mistakes.
Be generous with your hugs;
help them be gracious in their
victories, and strong in their
defeats. Above all, let them
know you love them, because
the journey you are on is per-
ilous but your companion on
the journey is priceless.

2011 COLUMBUS GROVE
INVITATIONAL
By Charlie Warnimont
Sentinel Sports Editor
COLUMBUS GROVE
Although the cross country
season is just over a week old,
it appears there are a few teams
starting to make a statement
about how the rest of season
could go for them.
At the Columbus Grove
Invitational Saturday, teams
making statements were
the Columbus Grove and
Crestview boys teams along
with the Spencerville girls
squad. All three teams turned
impressive showings compet-
ing against the areas top teams
while battling an unexpected
early morning heat wave that
took its toll on the runners.
Columbus Grove and
Crestview went head to head in
the boys Gray (small-school)
Division as the host Bulldogs
won their own meet, outscor-
ing the Knights 81-91. The
Lincolnview boys finished
seventh in the 17-team field.
In the girls Gray Division,
Spencerville and Botkins went
head to head with Botkins
winning the team title by a
mere two points over the Lady
Bearcats 58-60. Columbus
Grove finished 12th with 262
points and Lincolnview was
13th with 289 points.
After a second-place fin-
ish at this meet in 2010, the
Bulldogs moved up place up
in the standings to claim the
championship trophy over their
Northwest Conference rival.
The Bulldogs were led by
their junior standouts Jake
Graham and Alex Shafer.
Graham finished second in
the individual standings, fin-
ishing in 16:45 as Old Fort
senior Zack Alexander won in
16:40. Shafer finished fourth in
17:00. Junior Grant Schroeder
backed up his teammates with
a 16th finish in 17:47, while
freshman Colton Grothaus was
22nd in 18:00 and junior Nick
Schmiesing rounded out the
top five for Grove with a 38th-
place finish in 18:24.
This was a good win
for us, Grove coach Terry
Schnipke said. I told the boys
if we won today, it was a good
win for us with all the solid
teams here. Jake was kicking
himself after last week when
he lost to that kid (Conner
Holiday) from Van Wert. He
went out a little too fast last
week and this week he took
it a little easier. He felt he
could have won the race but
Alexander from Old Fort ran a
good race.
Crestview matched the
Bulldogs with two runners in
the top 10 as junior Joel Genter
was fifth in 17:06 and fresh-
man Mycah Grandstaff was
eighth in 17:26. The Knights
had two runners in the next 10
as junior Shelby Ripley was
13th in 17:44 and freshman
Branden Clayton was 15th in
17:45. The Knights fifth runner
was sophomore Tanner Skelton
as he finished 51st in 18:52.
Columbus Grove is run-
ning great; they really have a
nice team. Our hope to keep
getting better right along with
them, Crestview coach Jeff
Bagley said. We know for
sure we get a chance to race
them on down the line, so we
want to keeping on working
hard to get better at the end.
We have 18 boys running and
just one senior, so we have a lot
of young kids that are stepping
up and doing nice things for us
as they are willing to learn and
want to learn. They are getting
better and that makes it fun for
everyone.
Lincolnview was led by
freshman Bayley Tow as he fin-
ished 17th in 17:47. Junior Jeff
Jacomet was 27th in 18:07 and
sophomore Ben Bilimek was
34th in 18:18. Senior Brandon
Jacomet was 50th in 18:53 and
freshman Alex Rodriguez was
53rd in 18:53.
Spencerville had just
five male runners compete
Saturday as they were led by
junior Aaron Hefner with a
sixth-place finish in 17:06. The
Bearcats finished 15th in the
team standings.
The Lady Bearcats were
two points shy of Botkins in
the team standings despite hav-
ing their top five runners finish
in the 20.
Spencerville was led by
senior Courtney Miller as she
finished seventh in 21:08 and
sophomore Tori Hardesty was
ninth as she finish in 21:37.
Senior Kacie Mulholland was
12th in 21:44, sophomore
Karri Purdy was 13th in 21:49
and senior Alexa Brown was
19th in 22:17.
It was a good race and we
were real close to Botkins,
Spencerville coach Brian
McMichael said. We had
some girls that ran well and
some that didnt but this is a
good time of the year to have
that and find out where we are
at. It was hot and humid today
and they didnt run as well
but that is no excuse and we
hope to run better next week.
We just hope to improve each
week.
Botkins had four runners in
the top 10 as they were led by
senior Brittany Bailey with a
third-place finish in 20:17.
Senior Amber Herron had
a top-5 finish for Columbus
Groves girls Saturday as
she finished fourth in 20:21.
Freshman Alexis Ricker was
33rd for the Bulldogs with a
time of 22:56.
Lincolnview was led by
senior Kerri Grothaus as he
finished 18th in 20:07.
Junior Jared Fleming paced
the Van Wert effort as he won
the race in a time of 16:15,
which was nearly 40 seconds
in front of second-place Dexter
Lee of Elmwood (16:52.13).
Fleming was 17 seconds off
his personal best time and was
in the low 16s for the second
time this week.
We had a game plan going
into the race, Fleming said. I
felt I was close to what we had
planned for the race but we
didnt account for how warm it
was going to be and that threw
things off a bit. I still ran one
of my fastest times but its not
like it was shady and in the
60s.
Van Wert freshman Holiday
was right behind Lee, finish-
ing in 16:52, and junior Kase
Schalois was fourth in 17:05.
Senior Nathan Stevens finished
27th for the Cougars in 18:07
and senior Luke Brubaker
rounded out their top five with
a 35th-place finish in 18:17.
I dont think we ran our
best today but that has to do
with three races in eight days
and the heat this morning, Van
Wert coach Brendon Moody
said. Its always disappoint-
ing when you dont run fast but
when the end result is a victory,
you cant complain. Whenever
you go one, three, four in a
large invite, it helps the overall
team score, but we really have
to close that gap between our
third and fourth runners. We
have a lot of young people as
19 of our 31 people hadnt run
a 5-K or were new to the sport,
so we are still learning and try-
ing to teach them different race
strategies. Our plan to day was
go out fast that first mile, settle
in during that second mile and
have a good strong third mile.
We werent nearly as aggres-
sive that first mile and we
settled in too much that second
mile but we did close things
out well today.
While the Van Wert boys
had three runners in the top
four, the Lady Cougars set-
tled for two placements in the
top 10 and their top five in
the first 25 as they competed
against some very good teams
Saturday.
Sophomore Andy Foster
led the Cougars with a sixth
place finish in 20:50, while
sophomore Schelissa Williams
was eighth in 20:59. Junior
Jacey Eikenbary was 17th in
21:39, junior Kelsey Wagner
was 24th in 21:59 and senior
Sydney Riethman was 27th in
22:05.
The girls have run better
and I think they know that,
Moody said. A lot of them
are overworked right now with
school, jobs and the ACT com-
ing up. Once they clear some of
this off their plate, they will be
able to focus on what they need
to do and that will be exciting.
We had several good perfor-
mances on the girls side as we
had several close their races
strong. But hats off to Liberty-
Benton; they are always strong
and I thought Eaton might get
us today as they had a pack of
runners right after our fourth,
but we managed to hold on.

LIMA The St. Johns
girls soccer team dominated
the Lima Senior Spartans 6-0
at Lima Stadium Saturday
afternoon.
The Blue Jays (1-2) had
22 shots on-goal while the
Spartans ended with
five.
The first half was
a defensive battle
between the two
teams, as the first shot
on-goal didnt come
until the 25:42 mark
by St. Johns. Senior
Courtney Grothouse
for the Blue Jays shot
right at the Spartans
goalie, Aubrie Nuckles.
One minute later, junior
Jessica Recker, got in close
as she shot two yards from
the goal, just right past
Nuckles, who had to dive but
couldnt stop the Blue Jays
from going up 1-0.
At the 14:50 mark,
Grothouse had a corner kick
that headed right at sopho-
more Sam Bonifas, who had
a close-in head shot into the
goal for a Lady Jays score
and a 2-0 lead.
Not even three minutes
later, Delphos took control of
the offense and sophomore
Lindsey Warnecke dribbled
from midfield down to senior
Kait Wrasman, who was
deep in the
box and shot
three yardd
from the goal
on the left
side for a St.
Johns score,
making it
3-nil.
Lady Jay
junior Alyssa
Gable had a
corner kick with six minutes
to play in the opening half
that curled just over the head
of Nuckles head to end the
first half with a 4-0 lead.
As the second half began,
the Blue Jays controlled the
ball but the Spartans still
fought.
Lima Seniors freshman,
Kayleigh Twining, dribbled
all the way up the field past
St. Johns defenders but
didnt manage to get a shot
at the goal.
Senior Myriah Jackson
for the Blue Jays shot at the
14:52 mark from about four
yards out just under the top of
the goal post as the ball went
out of the goalies reach, put-
ting the Jays
lead at 5-0.
With nine
minutes to go,
Jackson passed
to teammate
Grothouse, who
made a fancy
move past Lima
Seniors defend-
ers and shot two
yards from the
goal and into the back of the
net for a 6-0 lead, finishing
the scoring this day.
Lima Senior freshman
Ashlie Ridenour used her
quickness as she dribbled all
the way down the field past
the Blue Jays and shot five
yards away from goal but
the ball bounced off the goal
post and sophomore goalie
Madison Kreeger caught it.
We have a young team, so
we are working on a number
of things, Ed Rinehart, Lima
Seniors assistant coach, said.
There are a lot of things we
are working on and we are
seeing a lot of improvement
in the past week.
As for the Blue
Jays, head coach John
Munoz thinks his
team is slowly pro-
gressing as they are
getting better each
match.
Overall, I think
progression is there
and I think we are
controlling the ball
a lot better, Munoz
added. I am very happy with
the way we are progressing
and am very proud of the way
the girls played today.
St. Johns continues
action on Tuesday as they
visit Coldwater and Thursday
when they host Jefferson,
while Lima Senior hosts
Fremont Ross that afternoon.

to take on the Lady Wildcats
and all three teams: varsity,
junior varsity and freshmen;
got sweeps.
The varsity (2-2) secured
a 25-23, 25-11, 25-18 romp,
while the JVs (2-2) easily
dispatched their counterparts
25-9, 25-7 and the ninth-grad-
ers grabbed a 25-17, 25-21
victory.
The varsity girls came out
strong, being ahead 7-1 in the
first set, but then kind of letting
up a little and letting Kenton
come back. In the second
game, we took control, St.
Johns coach Kellie Sterling
commented. We eliminated
our errors in the second game.
The third game was a little
different we started out being
behind 4-2 but the girls played
hard to finish the match in 3
games.
Senior Shelby Reindel had
14 kills; junior Heather Vogt
had six kills. Junior libero
Katrina Etzkorn had 14 digs

and-4. Shawn Frost (Edison/Mt.
Gilead) hauled in a 29-yard pass
from Chris Byrd (Detroit, Mich./
Detroit University Prep) and Airic
Steagall (Hillsboro) rambled for
11 and 18-yard gains before the
offense bogged down.
The Hornets put together a
10-play, 67-yard scoring drive to
open the second half, making the
score 19-0. Quarterback Nick Jones
capped it off with a 5-yard run.
Two possessions later, Jones found
Jimmy Frye for a 53-yard hookup
and 26-0 advantage with less than
three minutes to play in the period.
Byrd answered the call with a
54-yard bomb to Jason A. Johnson
(Lansing, Mich./Lansing Eastern)
down the right sideline with 54
ticks remaining in the third quar-
ter, breathing life back into the
Gameday crowd. Three minutes
later, Byrd found a seam and went
15 yards to the house, pulling
the Beavers within two scores at
26-14.
With the momentum clearly on
the side of the home team, Bluffton
held the Hornets to a quick 3-and-
out; however, a 5-yard penalty on
the punt gave Kalamazoo new life.
K-zoo took advantage, going 50
yards over the next eight plays to
make the score 33-14 when Jones
went in from eight yards out. Price
capped the scoring with a 32-yard
touchdown, his third of the after-
noon, for a final margin of 39-14
Steagall went for 66 yards on 22
carries, while Byrd chipped in with
10 carries for 50 yards and a score.
The senior signalcaller connected
on 8-of-21 passes for 141 yards
and a touchdown. Johnson finished
with four catches for 88 yards and
a TD. Frost hauled in three balls
for 56 yards.
Jerry Stone (Cardington/
Cardington-Lincoln) led the
Beaver defense with eight tackles.
Linebackers Jake Luthy (Ida, Mich./
Ida), Shane Hubbard (Johnstown/
Big Walnut) and Joe Maldonado
(Dade City, Fla./Zephyrhills) all
tallied six stops each.
Bluffton outgained the Hornets
185 yards to 146 yards on the
ground, while K-zoo had a 256-
173 advantage through the air.
Kalamazoo finished with 378 yards
of total offense, compared to 326
for the home team. The visitors
were 4-of-4 on red zone chances
and the Beavers converted on 2-of-
5 fourth downs.
The Beavers return to action
when they travel to defending
MIAA champion Trine University.
The contest at Angola, Ind. is
slated for 1:30 p.m. Saturday.
----
Muskies spoil home opener for
DC football
DEFIANCE The 2011 foot-
ball campaign got off to a rough
start for Defiance College as an
aggressive Muskingum defensive
unit controlled the line of scrim-
mage and boosted the visitors to a
24-7 victory over Defiance inside
of Justin F. Coressel Stadium on
Saturday.
The DC offense found itself on
its heels throughout the majority of
the opening half, mustering just 20
total yards of offense in 35 snaps.
The Jackets saw 14 of those plays
end with a loss of yardage and
allowed eight sacks in the opening
30 minutes of action.
Muskingum failed to capitalize
until a blocked punt deep in DCs
own territory set the Muskies up on
the 2-yard line with 1:58 left in the
opening quarter. MU punched it in
on the ensuing snap to grab a 7-0
advantage.
The gap widened midway
through the second period after a
pivotal fourth-down offsides pen-
alty on Defiance on its own 10-yard
marker gave Muskingum a fresh set
of downs. MU would need only one
more play, using a 5-yard scamper
to double the lead to 14-0 with 36
ticks left in the half.
The big blow came on the
first play of the fourth quarter as
Muskingum struck for a 67-yard
touchdown pass to gain a 21-0
cushion with 14:50 remaining.
Defiance answered that score
with a long touchdown reception
of its own a few plays later; Brian
Mircovich made a leaping catch on
a Rick Powell offering and shook
loose for a 58-yard sprint down
the visitors sideline. The Jackets
would get no closer than 21-7 how-
ever, as Muskingum tacked on a
late field goal and rolled to the 24-7
triumph.
Drew Kuesel did his part for
the Purple and Gold, ending with
47 yards on 12 rushes. Mircovich
and Nick Wiedenhoft each hauled
in three catches, with Mircovichs
finishing with a career-best 66
receiving yards.
The defense and special teams
were led by the play of Tony Sierra
as the safety piled up a team-leading
eight tackles and added 92 yards
on four kickoff returns. Blaine
McGowan and Hunter Robertson
also chipped in with eight stops.
Defiance (0-1) will look to
rebound Saturday when it hosts
Adrian (1-0) in a 1:30 p.m.

BASTROP, Texas
Firefighters trying to control
a wind-fueled wildfire that
has destroyed nearly 500
homes in central Texas were
looking for a few overnight
hours of diminished winds as
thousands of evacuees spent
the night away from their
threatened homes.
Slack winds were expect-
ed after midnight today and
could enable firefighters to
make progress on the massive
blaze racing through rain-
starved farm and ranchland,
authorities said. Fanned in
part by howling winds from
the remnants of Tropical
Storm Lee, the blaze rap-
idly grew Monday to at least
25,000 acres.
You have to be optimistic
and at the same time prepared
for the worst, Texas Forest
Service spokesman John
Nichols said Monday night,
acknowledging the weathers
unpredictability.
At least 5,000 people were
forced from their homes in
Bastrop County about 25
miles east of Austin, and
about 400 were in emer-
gency shelters, officials said
Monday. School and school-
related activities were can-
celed today.
In Bastrop, a town of
about 6,000 people along the
Colorado River, huge clouds
of smoke soared into the
sky and hung over down-
town. When winds picked up,
flames flared over the tops of
trees. Helicopters and planes
loaded with water flew over-
head, and firefighters along
a state highway outside the
city converged around homes
catching fire.
Waiting is the most
frustrating thing, said Gina
Thurman, 47, choking back
tears as she sat by herself in
the shade on a curb outside
Ascension Catholic Church,
one of several shelters in the
area. Youre sitting there
and you dont know anything
but your house is probably
burning.
Rick Blakely was among
about 30 people sleeping
on cots at the church. The
54-year-old said he was in
a state of shock and not
expecting anything to be
standing when he returned
to his home.
I just dont know what
Im going to do, he said.
Strong winds coupled with
drought conditions allowed
the fire to travel quickly over
somewhat hilly terrain, burn-
ing through pine and cedar
trees and wiping out subdivi-
sions as well as ranchland.
Dry conditions were expect-
ed to persist at least through
the week, according to the
National Weather Service.
The fire was far enough
away from Austin that the
city was not threatened, but
it consumed land along a line
that stretched for about 16
miles, Texas Forest Service
officials said.
The wildfire destroyed at
least 476 homes, and about
250 firefighters were work-
ing around the clock using
bulldozers and water trucks
against the fire, Bastrop
County Judge Ronnie
McDonald said.
There were no immedi-
ate reports of injuries, and
officials said they knew of
no residents trapped in their
homes.
But the blaze was nowhere
near controlled on Monday
and a separate, smaller blaze
south of the city was grow-
ing larger, said Mike Fischer,
the countys emergency man-
agement director. Its unclear
how the fire began.
Crews have responded to
nearly 21,000 wildfires in
Texas since the traditional
fire season began early in the
year.
Wildfire destroys
homes in central Texas
By HOLBROOK MOHR
and DORIE TURNER
Associated Press
ATLANTA The destruc-
tive remnants of Tropical Storm
Lee rolled north today after
spawning tornadoes, sweeping
several people away, flood-
ing roads and knocking out
power to thousands across the
South. More rain was expected
in parts of Tennessee, where
records have already been bro-
ken.
Flash flood watches and
warnings were in effect early
today from the southern end
of the Appalachians northeast-
ward into New England, accord-
ing to the Hydrometeorological
Prediction Center. Tornado
watches were in effect for
parts of North Carolina.
Rain kept falling in
Tennessee early today after
a wet Monday. Chattanooga
went from its driest-ever
month in August, with 0.01
inch of rain to a record one-
day deluge of 8.16 inches by 5
p.m. Monday. By dawn today,
10 inches of rain had fallen in
the states fourth-largest city.
Numerous roads were
flooded, and the soggy ground
meant even modest winds were
toppling trees.
We have had problems
with trees coming down,
mainly because the soil is so
saturated with water, said
National Weather Service
forecaster David Gaffin in
Morristown, Tenn.
To the south, rain in
Alabama flooded numerous
Birmingham roads. The storm
also caused a roof to collapse
at Pinson Valley High School
outside Birmingham, accord-
ing to The Birmingham News.
No injuries were reported.
As many as 200,000 lost
power across Alabama as the
storm moved through, with
most of the outages in the
Birmingham area, Alabama
Power spokeswoman Keisa
Sharpe said. By early today, the
number of outages was down
to 187,000, she said. Power
outages were also reported in
Georgia, Tennessee and North
Carolina.
The storm system churned
up treacherous waters across
the South. In Mississippi, a
man drowned while trying to
cross a swollen creek, while
authorities called off the
search for a missing swimmer
presumed dead off Alabama.
Another man was missing
after trying to cross a creek in
suburban Atlanta.
Chainsaws and blue tarps
were coming out in Georgia
neighborhoods hit by sus-
pected twisters that ripped off
siding and shingles and sent
trees crashing through roofs.
The Georgia Emergency
Management Agency said
about 100 homes were dam-
aged there in Cherokee
County, about 30 miles north
of Atlanta.

Annies Mailbox
WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 7, 2011
Your chart indicates some
excellent potential for increasing
earning power in the year ahead. The
opportunity to do so will come about
in an extremely unusual way, which
you miss out on if youre not willing
to try something new.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Do
not take on an assignment that must
be completed today if youre not sure
you can do it in time. Its better to
be honest up front rather than make
yourself look bad by falling short.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) --
Youll not mind helping out another
as long as the act is voluntary. Being
manipulated by another to do his
or her bidding, however, is likely to
make you extremely resentful.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)
-- Keep your obligations to friends
in proper perspective. Dont rush to
help someone you want to impress but
who has done nothing for you, while
ignoring a pal to whom youre truly
indebted.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec.
21) -- If success eludes you, it isnt
likely to be because youre unwilling
to work hard. It may be due to the fact
that your focus is more on fun and
games than on your obligations.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19) -- Its never smart to debate
philosophical issues because there is
no solving them. Chances are each
side can get too emotionally involved
and end up exchanging bitter words.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)
-- Parity will be required in order for
a joint endeavor to be successful. If
youre not willing to give as much
as the other guy or gal puts toward a
project, dont get involved in the first
place.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20)
-- Be honest about your lack of
know-how instead of trying to tackle
something you cant possibly handle.
Youll only embarrass yourself.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
-- You could easily thwart your own
purposes by being unduly aggressive.
Slow down and take it easy because
trying too hard can be as ineffective
as not trying at all.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
-- Understate your sales pitch and
let the listener fill in the blanks with
what they want. Sometimes a soft sell
is the most effective weapon in your
arsenal.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) --
Just because someone is a good friend
is not reason enough to ask financial
advice from him or her. Make sure the
person you go to has the experience to
advise you wisely.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
-- Put your mind in gear before you
open your mouth and start talking. If
you dont, all kinds of things could
come out, such as some ill-chosen
words that would offend whomever
hears them.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- One of
your favorite friends, whos always in
a financial bind, might hit on you once
again to bail him or her out. Its time
to put limits on how much and how
often you can do so.
Dear Annie: My husband
has had several chronic
illnesses during the past 20
years. He takes 15 different
prescription medications a day
and has frequent doctor visits
and testing. Our medical bills
are through the roof. When
credit card interest rates went
up, we were unable to meet
our monthly bills. We have
cut out all extras, but we are
still having major difficulties.
Both of us have full-time jobs
and I work as much overtime
as possible, but we are sinking.
Bankruptcy is not
an option because
it wont leave us
enough money to
buy my husbands
medicines and
we earn too
much to qualify
for government
assistance.
Last Christmas,
we were unable to
buy our teenage
son a gift, but still
made sure to get
something for my husbands
nieces and nephews because
he refuses to tell his family
of our problems. His parents
are well off, and I have
suggested to my husband that
he ask them for some help,
but he wont hear of it. I even
recommended he borrow the
money and pay them back
with interest, but he doesnt
want them involved. My
parents are deceased, and my
siblings have similar money
problems.
I know his parents read
your column. Maybe they will
see this and offer some help
without questions because
my husband is too prideful to
ask. I am at my wits end. --
Sinking Fast
Dear Sinking: Most
parents would feel terrible
if they were kept in the dark
about a problem they could
alleviate. In the meantime,
your husband should check
with his doctors office to see
if they can offer assistance, and
you can call the Information
and Referral Service at 2-1-1
and explain the problem.
It is also often possible to
find free or reduced rates for
medication directly through
the drug manufacturers. Check
their websites. Here are a few
other suggestions: Needy
Meds (needymeds.com);
Partnership for Prescription
Assistance (pparx.org);
RxAssist and Rx Outreach
Patient Assistance Programs
(rxassist.org); Rx Hope
(rxhope.com); and Together
Rx Access (togetherrxaccess.
com).
Dear Annie: Our family
has been invited to a reception
celebrating the civil union of
one of our cousins and her
same-sex partner. My mother
showed me the wedding card
that she purchased for the
occasion, which pictured the
hands of a man and a woman. I
questioned her about the card,
and she said that the clerk in
the store where she bought it
told her it was appropriate.
The clerk said that where two
women formed a partnership,
one of them would take on the
role of the man.
I am sure that our cousins
partner is not a transsexual,
and both would be offended if
we called one of them a man.
Am I wrong, or should my
mother find another wedding
card? -- Straight in Canada
Dear Canada: Many
gay couples might find this
card insensitive. Since you
believe your cousin and her
partner would be unhappy
with it, please suggest that
Mom save this
one for a different
wedding and find
another card that is
specifically for gay
couples or is gender
neutral. It shouldnt
be difficult.
Dear Annie: This
is in response to
Theresa in Florida,
whose husband is
apprehensive about
receiving a lung
transplant.
I received a lifesaving
liver transplant 11 years ago
and have been in excellent
health since. Her husband can
contact LifeLink Foundation
for Western Florida in Tampa
and Transplant Foundation of
Jackson Memorial Hospital
in Miami. I have volunteered
for both. They offer meetings
for pre-transplant patients and
will help answer any questions
her husband has. He can also
meet others who have already
undergone this transplant.
I have met lung transplant
recipients, and I am sure they
would tell him to have the
surgery without hesitation. --
Craig in Sarasota
Dear Craig: Our thanks
to you and all who wrote with
words of encouragement.
We hope Theresa and her
husband will look into your
recommendations.
