will expand in the near future. City council heard legislation Monday evening geared toward annexing three properties. The lands of Kenneth Brinkman, 24798 Pohlman Road, and Mike and Barb Coil, 24810 Pohlman Road, both located south of the wastewater treatment plant; and Lees Restoration at 7174 Grone Road will soon become part of the city. Council passed on emergency an ordinance to issue warrants for fees associated with annexation petitions for both of the Pohlman Road properties at 50 percent not to exceed
$3,000 to Bockrath and Associates
for services provided. The owners will pay the remaining 50 percent. We dont know that this will cost $6,000 but we want to make sure we made the number large enough to cover the bases, Safety Service Director Shane Coleman said. Any unused funds will be returned to the General Fund. Once annexed, the city will provide to the property owners: police protection; fire protection; rescue service (ambulance service); natural gas; cable television; electric power, including street lights on dedicated streets; and water and sewer services. Annexation for Lees Restoration was set to occur no later than March 2015, according to the second ordinance read Monday. The ordinance also calls for Lees to receive a three-
year tax abatement for costs incurred
in the annexation process for the tax years beginning the month in 2015 annexation is completed but no earlier than January 2015. During the abatement period, all income taxes will be withheld by non-residential employees of Lees Restoration and a rebate shall be paid by the city each tax year to the individual non-resident taxpayers when they file a proper City of Delphos income tax return and provide proof of payment of tax in full. Council heard and approved 5-1 a single water adjustment request. Information provided to council noted the homeowner had discovered a faulty water heater being notified by the city on Sept. 22 of unusually high usage. The issue was corrected within

Village moves ahead
with electric aggregation BY STEPHANIE GROVES DHI Media Staff Writer [email protected] FORT JENNINGS Council members announced the residential electric aggregation passed Nov. 4 and discussed the two public hearings where village residents will be invited to participate in an informational discussion about the aggregation during Tuesday nights council meeting. Fort Jennings Village Council began working with Aspen Energy Representative Marc Hollinger during the past few monthly meetings and discussed residential electric aggregation to establish a program for the village. As soon as it (electric aggregation) passed, I got calls from other brokers wanting to handle our electricity. We owe it to Marc to let them (Aspen Energy) broker our electricity, Mayor Jim Smith said. I will talk with Marc and set up our public hearings on Dec. 16 at 5:30 and 7 p.m. We will adopt the aggregation plan during that council meeting, decide our terms - annual, two or three years - and sign the agreement with Integrys Energy Services, Inc. Council members approved last months meeting minutes and paying the villages bills in the sum of $25,337. Council members have discussed storm basin cleaning and video recording of the system to find damaged areas of pipe during the past few council meetings. Smith said both projects are on hold due to the weather. Leaves still need to be removed from the basins before they are camera ready and now they are covered with snow, he said. Last month, Smith reported that there will be asphalt work done at the intersection of State Routes 190 and 189 in front of the post office and fire station and on Second Street. The pavement repairs have been completed, he said. It was more than we originally estimated and cost $4,029 for the asphalt. The work in front of the post office and on Second Street as not complete since the state crew ran out of time. Smith said Police Chief Ethyl Vaughn is currently busy with the Christmas Family project and will have names of families in the near future. See ELECTRIC, page 10
ELIDA Treasurer Joel
Parker asked the Elida Board of Education to switch gears from talking about the failed levy defeated on Nov. 4 at Tuesdays meeting. I would like to start a conversation about the renewal emergency levy we have coming up, Parker began. It raises $2.7 million and is critical to what we do here. My recommendation is it be on the May ballot by itself. Parker would also like to make a change to the levy language. We have talked a lot about voter fatigue within the district and maybe if we make it a 10-year levy voters wont feel like we are coming back to them so often for money, Parker said. It is not new money and will never generate more than $2.7 million. It needs to be passed in 2015 so the flow of funds is not interrupted and residents wont lose the rollback on their taxes. The school board must have two separate meetings to pass legislation related to
putting the levy on the May
ballot and have just enough time with regular meetings to accomplish that by the Feb. 4 file date. Concerned parent Mike VanBruskirk addressed the board about a situation at the middle school. VanBruskirk relayed instances of what he considered bullying by a teacher toward students and asked the board for guidance in solving the issue. We have a talked to the principal and the behavior has continued, VanBruskirk said. Weve talked to the superintendent and were very dissatisfied with his handling of the matter and we believe he failed to investigate the situation so Im bringing it to you. Board President Christine Ulrich said the board would investigate the matter and contact VanBruskirk when more information was obtained. Math teacher Angela Maag received a $1,000 Dominion K-12 Grant. The grant had been applied for by Sherry Miller, who left the district before the grant could be awarded. See LEVY, page 10
Cook warned residents about the hazards of allowing children to play on the Miami-Erie canal and asked parents to keep children off of the waterway during Monday nights village council meeting. There is still moving water under the ice, he said. The volunteer fire department cant be there quick enough to save a child from drowning if he or she falls through the ice. Cook said he would also like to warn owners of snowmobiles and four-wheelers to stay off roadways during the winter. He said owners with four-wheelers can help with pushing snow when the need arises and cautions all of them not to abuse the use of the roadways at other times. Council members passed three ordinances on their first reading; establishing a uniform allowance for employees, setting employee contributions for medical and life insurances and establishing wages and salaries for employees. Members also approved paying the villages bills in the sum of $11, 610. Village Administrator Sean Chapman said he received a notice for the Allen County Health Department notifying the village of a public hearing on the increase in licenses for public and private swimming pools in the county. Public pools are getting hit worse with fees increasing from $400 to $450 and governmentrun pools, such as the one in the village, will see an increase from $200 to $225, Chapman explained. We pay two fees; one for the main pool and one for the wading pool. Mayor P.J. Johnson said the health board is looking at ways to sustain their revenue. There
have been a number of pools close throughout
the county and to sustain revenue, they are raising prices. The Water Treatment Plant Open House went well, Johnson said. Although, I had hoped for more residents. Anyone unable to attend the open house for the Water Treatment Plant is welcome to call the Utilities Department and schedule a time to tour the new facilities, Chapman said. I believe there is a lot of false information floating around regarding user fees now that the plant has been completed. He explained the rates will not increase due to the completion of the plant and the increases in 2013 were to cover the annual debt service and operations and management costs. The only planned rate increase is the 3-percent annual increase occurring the first of each year, which was enacted to assist in offsetting inflationary costs. Chapman will present legislation updating the villages fee schedule to council very soon. The changes are being driven by the updates proposed to the Villages Zoning Code, he said. Once the Planning Commission approves the draft language, the legislation will be presented to council for consideration. Chapman said employee training and programming are ongoing at the Water Treatment Plant (WTP). We did experience a glitch in the program that permitted a large amount of Sodium Permanganate to inadvertently be fed into the system which caused pink water throughout the community, he reported. The water was not harmful to consume; however, we did field several calls about its aesthetic value. This has been corrected and the feed pump has been disconnected. See VILLAGE, page 10

For The Record
Heating costs heading up as cold grips nation OBITUARY
NEW YORK (AP) The cold is back, and with it, rising heating bills. This winter was expected to bring much lower bills than last year because it wasnt supposed to be so darn cold. Homeowners could go a little easier on the thermostat, and less fuel use would offset rising prices for natural gas and electricity, which generates heat for 88 percent of U.S. households. Then, descending from the Arctic, came a block of cold air nearly the size of the entire Lower 48. This month is now on track to be the coldest November since 1996. It came in hard and strong, pretty impressive stuff, says Matt Rogers, a meteorologist at the Commodity Weather Group, which forecasts weather and heating demand for energy companies. He notes that a cold November doesnt necessarily lead to a colder winter. But it depletes fuel supplies and pushes prices up. And it just so happens most forecasters think January and February will also be colder than normal across most of the U.S. The Energy Department forecast in October that customers of all fuels should expect to see lower heating bills between Oct. 1 and March 31. But the agency said if the winter came in 10
percent colder than forecast, natural gas
customers would pay 6 percent more than last year and electric customers would pay 2 percent more. With this biting November and a colder-looking January and February, that chillier and pricier forecast now looks more likely. Theres pretty good consensus for a cold winter overall, Rogers says. The change in forecast can be seen in a suddenly volatile natural gas market. In late October and early November the futures price of natural gas rose 24 percent over 9 days. Then it dropped 10 percent in 4 days before climbing again. On Tuesday it closed at $4.24 per 1,000 cubic feet, down for the day but 17 percent higher than last year. Its all weather, this is a market inextricably linked to Mother Nature, says Stephen Schork, a longtime energy trader and analyst. Natural gas markets were uncharacteristically calm until the cold hit last winter, but Schork expects volatility to again be the norm. Natural gas is a roll of the dice every single day, he says. Natural gas futures prices dont translate immediately into higher residential prices because of the way utilities buy and sell the fuel, but higher prices find their way to customer bills eventually.
The Energy Department predicts residential natural gas prices for November through February will rise 7 percent compared to the same period last year, according to its most recent forecast. Natural gas prices also determine the price of electricity in much of the U.S., and are helping to push power prices higher. Customers of several New England utilities have been warned of jumps of 20 percent or more this winter. Nationwide, power prices are expected to be up 3 percent compared with last year, the biggest annual rise since 2008. Customers who burn heating oil and propane will likely pay less than last year because the fuel will cost less but now they may have to fill their tanks more often than they had hoped. Commodity Weather Groups Rogers puts the possibility of this winter being as cold or colder than last year at 30 percent, up from 10 percent at the beginning of the winter heating season. A big high pressure system over Alaska, what he calls a hangover from last year, is chilling things now. A developing weak El Nino condition in the Pacific could help bring cold and heavier-than-normal snow to the Eastern Seaboard in the first two month of 2015. This winter still has some curveballs coming, he says.
4 deaths blamed on major New York snowstorm
BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) Four people died during a storm that dumped more than 4 feet of snow around Buffalo and forced motorists in 150 vehicles, including a womens basketball team, to ride it out on a day when temperatures dropped to freezing or below in all 50 states. One person was killed in an automobile accident and three others had heart attacks, including two believed to be shoveling snow at the time, Erie County officials said. The snowstorm stranded cars, trucks and buses on a four-mile section near Buffalo. Officials expected them to be freed late Tuesday after the paralyzing ordeal that lasted nearly 24 hours for some motorists. It seemed like a nightmare. It just didnt feel like it was going to end, Bryce Foreback, 23, of Shicora, Pennsylvania told The Associated Press by cellphone 20 hours into his wait for help. I havent slept in like 30 hours and Im just
waiting to get out of here.
Members of the Niagara University womens basketball team were napping on and off 17 hours into their wait. Some got so thirsty they drank melted snow, said Coach Kenra Faustin, who was traveling with her 1-year-old. Team spokeswoman Chelsea Andorka said the bus, with about 25 players and coaches aboard, was headed back from a loss in Pittsburgh when it came to a halt at 2 a.m. Tuesday. We were told the National Guard was coming by but havent seen any signs of life, Andorka said. The first time they came they told us to be prepared to stay for a while. One tow truck passed six or seven hours ago. In a region accustomed to highway-choking snowstorms, this one is being called one of the worst in memory. Snow blown by strong winds forced the closing of a 132-mile stretch of the Thruway, the main high-
way across New York state.
Meteorologists say temperatures in all 50 states fell to freezing or below on Tuesday. They say the low temperatures were more reminiscent of January than November. In New Hampshire and elsewhere, icy roads led to accidents. Lake-effect storms in Michigan produced galeforce winds and as much as 18 inches of snow, and canceled several flights at the Grand Rapids airport. Schools closed in the North Carolina mountains amid blustery winds and ice-coated roads. In Indiana, three firefighters were hurt when a semitrailer hit a fire truck on a snowy highway. In Atlanta, tourists Morten and Annette Larsen from Copenhagen were caught off-guard by the 30-degree weather as they took photos of a monument to the 1996 summer Olympics at Centennial Olympic Park. Its as cold here as it is in Denmark right now. We didnt expect that, Larsen
said, waving a hand over his
denim jacket, buttoned tightly over a hooded sweatshirt. In Buffalo, Brian Krzeminski watched the snow pile up outside the south Buffalo convenience store where he worked overnight and served free coffee to the motorists and pedestrians who came in off the city streets to get out of the blinding snow. There are people that came out to get a few things. We had some people who came in just to get a 30-pack of beer, which is kind of odd, he said. Weve had EMTs whose ambulance got stuck. Im constantly seeing cars get stuck. The National Weather Service warned that the snow, generated by cold air blowing over the warmer Great Lakes, would continue through Wednesday and could eventually total 6 feet in places. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo deployed 150 member of the National Guard to help clear snowclogged roads and remove abandoned vehicles.

State Highway Patrol are investigating a traffic crash in which a Putnam County man was found deceased. Shortly before 3 p.m. on Monday, emergency personnel were dispatched to a single-vehicle traffic crash that occurred on Road 23-Q, north of Road T in Putnam County. Upon arrival, a 2001 Pontiac minivan was found in a roadside drainage ditch with a single occupant inside. EMS personnel found the vehicles registered owner, Victor J. Fischbach, 79, of Ottoville, deceased inside, with no apparent external injuries. Putnam County Coroner Dr. Anna Horstman, arrived on scene and pronounced Mr. Fischbach dead. An autopsy will be performed to determine the exact cause of death as the nature and severity of the traffic crash does not appear consistent with a traffic-related fatality. Alcohol does not appear to be a factor and a properly adjusted occupant restraint device was not utilized. The Ohio State Highway Patrol was assisted by The Putnam County Sheriffs Office, Delphos, Kalida and Ottoville Fire and EMS, and the Putnam County Coroners Office. The incident remains under investigation.
Lawyer: Tracy Morgan
battling severe brain injury TRENTON, N.J. (AP) Tracy Morgan is fighting to recover from a severe brain injury suffered in a highway crash more than five months ago, and its uncertain if he will be the Tracy Morgan he once was, his lawyer said Tuesday. Benedict Morelli said the former Saturday Night Live and 30 Rock star suffered a traumatic brain injury in the June 7 crash on the New Jersey Turnpike, in addition to a broken leg, nose and ribs. Hes fighting to get better, and if theres a chance for him to be back to the Tracy Morgan he once was, hes going to try to do that, Morelli said. But we just dont know because of the severity of the injuries that he sustained and the fact that he had such a severe brain injury. Lawyers were in court in New Jersey for a scheduling conference in Morgans lawsuit against Bentonville, Arkansas-based Wal-Mart Stores Inc., whose truck was
involved in the crash. Morgan
wasnt at Tuesdays proceeding, during which lawyers met with the judge to settle on a schedule. A Wal-Mart truck slammed into a limo van that was carrying Morgan and several friends on their way back from a show in Delaware. One person was killed, and three others were injured, two seriously. Morgan spent several weeks in a hospital and in rehab. Morelli didnt discuss specific aspects of Morgans condition but said he hasnt fully recovered. When you have a traumatic brain injury it takes a very long time to find out how youre going to do and how much youre going to recover, Morelli said. You just dont know. So thats where he is. Hes still fighting and trying to live his life at the same time and trying to get better, and hes just not better. Were hoping and praying to get him back to where he was. But the jurys out.

Task force BRIEFS St. Johns teachers learn ways to suggests changes to Ohio State band Medicare open use Google Apps in the classroom enrollment deadline set for Dec. 7
INFORMATION SUBMITTED
INFORMATION SUBMITTED
COLUMBUS (AP) An undercurrent of inappropriate behavior inside Ohio State Universitys celebrated marching band was fueled by a combination of societal pressures faced by students, unclear expectations set by band leaders and ineffective university oversight, according to a report released Tuesday. The report was the result of a four-month review by a task force enlisted by the university in the wake of the controversial firing of band director Jonathan Waters over the summer. Its investigation concluded the bands culture of excellence, hard work and positive traditions remains strong, while making 37 recommendations for improvements. Former Ohio Attorney General Betty Montgomery, who led the task force, said it recognized that band members are newly-minted adults on a college campus caught in the crosshairs of conflicting societal messages. While universities and the law have ramped up expectations regarding student behavior in the wake of hazing and sexual assaults across the country, popular culture seems to be going exactly the opposite way, moving in the opposite direction, Montgomery said. And that collision is where this band is. Her groups 92-page report, compiled after interviews with 185 individuals, including present and former band members, described hazing rituals and frequent alcohol use that were also cited in an internal investigative report from earlier this year that led to Waters firing. Among its recommendations were hiring a compliance officer; rewriting and clarifying certain band policies involving traditions; and instituting regular mandatory training. Others include a ban on rookie tricks, rookie midterms and an explicit songbook, all of which had been cited in the investigation report that led to Director Waters July 24 firing.

DELPHOS The St. Johns
Yearbook Staff has been recognized for creating a dynamic and engaging 2014 Yearbook. Jostens, the leading producer of yearbooks, announced Delphos St. Johns as a recipient of the 2014 National Yearbook Program of Excellence Award. This designation recognizes schools that embrace the yearbook tradition and have built a yearbook program that contributes to a positive school culture and climate that serves the entire school. The award-winning yearbook was created during the 2013-14 school year and was distributed at the beginning of the 2014-15 school year. Award winners were recently announced and St. Johns was presented with a banner and a plaque. The yearbook staff was made of the following students (seniors and juniors in the 2013-14 school year): Gwen Neumeier, Brelyn Stepleton, Emilie Fischbach, Erica Saine, Brooke Zuber, Cheyanne Bonifas, Elizabeth Winhover, Olivia Miller, Alyssa Martin, Tara Vorst, Haleigh DeWyer, and Alaina Backus. They were led by first-year advisor Michelle Stiffey. Awards are given for schools that have achieved criteria in the following categories: creating an inclusive yearbook, generating school engagement and successfully managing yearbook creation process. Every year, Jostens sets three main goals. They are to have 50 percent of the student body appear
The 2015 Delphos St. Johns yearbook staff displays the banner and plaque awarded for earning the National Program of Excellence Award with the 2014 Edition of the Delphos St. Johns Crest.

We are proudest of getting 100 percent of the student body in the book four times, Winhover said. It took a lot of creativity and dedication to make sure we made the yearbook a true representation of our entire student body. The award-winning yearbook was the 60th edition of the Crest. It was made up
of 144 pages designed by the students
enrolled in the yearbook class. Day in and day out, the students worked to design spreads, write stories and captions, interview students and photograph everything from football games to science class, says Stiffey. I was blessed with a truly dedicated staff that was as eager to meet the goals set by Jostens as I was.

Good morning to all! All is quiet here since
the bus left with the four youngest children. Benjamin hasnt been home since yesterday morning. Something broke down at Moses sawmill, so Benjamin stayed there last night to work later. Waiting on the part for the mill put them behind. Benjamin always enjoys staying there as Mose has a brother Freeman, 16. They both enjoy hunting and fishing. Monday was a beautiful day and we were able to get all the clothes dried outside. Now this morning the temperature is at the freezing mark. Yesterday, daughter Verena and I cleaned out the stove and refrigerator/freezer that runs off of propane. We use an air compressor to blow out the burners. Its always a big job, but always nice to see it nice and sparkling clean when it is done. I think its still easier than when I had to clean a kerosene stove. Cleaning the pipeline and getting the burners all cleaned and trimming the wicks was a big job. Daughter Elizabeth now has another puppy, Crystal, that is 4 months old. Crystal is quite a bit bigger than Izzy. Izzy is 6 months old and enjoys her playmate. Crystal is a Beiwer Yorkie and weighs seven pounds. Izzy is a teacup Yorkie so she is full grown at three pounds. Crystal loves to hide our shoes. Right now she is lying under the table sleeping while I write this column. Izzy sleeps in the most uncomfortable positions, such as on the top of the back of a recliner. Last Friday my husband, Joe, and I, along with our six youngest children, traveled to the Berne community to attend the wedding of Solomon and Rosanne. Sister Emma and Jacobs two daughters also went with us. It was nice to see several uncles and aunts at the wedding, and also cousins that we dont often see. Sister Liz was at the wedding and we visited at her house in the afternoon. We also made a short stop at brother Amos and Nancys before we headed back to the wedding for the evening meal.

Alabama rolls to No. 1 in playoff rankings
By RALPH D. RUSSO Associated Press Alabama is the new No. 1 in the College Football Playoff rankings and Mississippi State remains in the top four after losing to the Crimson Tide. Alabama jumped from fifth to first after handing previously-undefeated and top-ranked Mississippi State its first loss on Saturday. Oregon was bumped down to second and unbeaten Florida State is now third. The Seminoles are the only undefeated team left in a Big Five conference. TCU slipped to No. 5 while Ohio State moved up to No. 6, ahead of TCUs Big 12 rival Baylor and Mississippi. UCLA and Georgia rounded out the top 10. Selection committee chairman Jeff Long said Alabama controlled the game in its 25-20 victory against Mississippi State enough to earn the big promotion this week. Alabama led by two scores in the fourth quarter and Mississippi State cut the lead to five with a touchdown with 15 seconds left.
Long referred to game control a few
times this week. Its not a metric used by the committee but a subjective discussion about how the game was played. TCU rallied for a 34-30 victory against Kansas, and Long noted how the Horned Frogs inability to control the game against struggling team negatively affected their resume. Long also said a second straight road victory for Ohio State, this one against Minnesota after beating Michigan State the week before, helped the Buckeyes move up two spots. Still, an early-season home loss to Virginia Tech is still a mark against Ohio State. While they have certainly added to their resume and shown they are a better team, it doesnt erase that loss, Long added of the Buckeyes. College Football Playoff Rankings Record 1. Alabama 9-1 2.

After 2 big road wins, Buckeyes glad to be home
Associated Press
COLUMBUS Urban Meyer continues to dig in his heels
whenever he is asked about anything other than the task at hand. Such as when he faced a question about whether his seventh-ranked Buckeyes are one of the top four teams in the country in other words, playoff-worthy. Not right now, no. No, I dont, because I dont want to make ignorant comments. I just dont know, he said. Id make the comment that were one win away from representing the East in the Big Ten championship game because I do know that. In his 13th year as a head coach, Meyer is skipping bold predictions. No embroidery about how great his team is and how it deserves to be ahead of Teams A and B in the CFP rankings. Instead, he switches the conversation from what might be in six weeks to what will be in six days. The Buckeyes (9-1, 6-0 Big Ten, No. 8 CFP) happily return home from a big 2-game road swing to host Indiana (3-7, 0-6). Should they win and theyre favored by six touchdowns theyll punch their ticket for the Big Ten title game for the
second year in a row.
That really resonates for senior linebacker Curtis Grant, who has been on teams that despite winning a school-record 24 consecutive games at one point in his career and a current Big Ten record streak of winning 22 regular-season conference games in a row havent captured a championship. Like I tell (teammates), we havent won anything yet here, he said. The Buckeyes strung together 24 wins in a row at the start of Meyers tenure, then lost 34-24 to Michigan State in last years Big Ten title game and fell 40-35 to Clemson in the Orange Bowl. The loss to the Spartans for the conference title and getting back to Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis this year provided incentive during the long hours of offseason conditioning last winter, spring workouts and August camp in 90-degree heat. Thats been the ultimate goal, the No. 1 goal the thing we had to do was get back there and win a championship, receivers coach Zach Smith said. Thats all we really talked about. There was no greater goal, nothing beyond that talked about, and thats been what our sights have been set on since day one, pretty much every day.

State-sponsored 529 plan may play a part in college savings
Hasbro helps kids with disabilities learn to play PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) Toymakers at Hasbro dont want Mr. Potato Head to end up at the bottom of toy boxes, simply because children with developmental disabilities dont know how to play with him. Hasbro Inc. has partnered with The Autism Project, a group of parents and professionals that help people with autism to create instructional videos and tools to help children with developmental disabilities learn how to play with their toys. The Pawtucket, Rhode Island-based toy company will launch the ToyBox Tools initiative on Wednesday in Columbus, Ohio at a national conference on autism and disabilities, OCALICON 2014. Parents and caregivers can access the tools for eight of Hasbros classic toys for free online at the ToyBox Tools website. The series of Mr. Potato Head videos introduce children to the toy, explain how to assemble him in creative ways and show how to play with him with other children. Karen Davis, the senior vice president of global philanthropy and social impact at Hasbro, said that knowing how to play with these toys may not be intuitive for children with developmental disabilities, including autism. Three engineers at the company thought of the idea, she said, so every child can experience the joy of play. About 15 percent of children in the United States have a developmental disability, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. To be able to help this group of kids means an awful lot to us, Davis said Tuesday. Were really looking forward to seeing where this goes. Joanne Quinn, executive director of The Autism Project, said ToyBox Tools will have a huge impact because parents will feel more empowered to play with their children, and children will learn how to play at their own pace and learn important life skills. Parents and teachers sometimes write out instructional materials for toys or show videos of other kids playing, but no one has collected everything in one place for everyone to use, she added. Hasbro has given us such a platform to help so many families, its fantastic, Quinn said. Davis said Hasbro hopes to get suggestions from the experts at the conference to improve the online resources. Hasbro may develop similar videos and printed instructions for more toys in the future, she added.

Federal safety agency to push
for national air bag recall BY DEE-ANN DURBIN Associated Press DETROIT The federal government is demanding that the auto industry recall millions of additional cars equipped with faulty air bags that can injure and even kill a driver. The action Tuesday by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration covers drivers side air bags equipped with inflators made by Takata Corp. of Japan. The inflators can erupt and send metal fragments into the passenger compartment. Previously, cars with the inflators had been recalled only in regions with high humidity such as Gulf Coast states, Hawaii and Puerto Rico. Takata has said that prolonged exposure to moisture can cause the air bag propellant to burn faster than designed, causing the problem. Up until now, about 8 million cars in the U.S. with Takata inflators have been recalled for problems with either the driver or passenger side air bag, or both. Another four million have been recalled outside the U.S. At least five deaths worldwide have been linked to the problem. Safety regulators say Tuesdays action is based on incidents involving a death in California and an injury in North Carolina where the air bags were implicated. Both states are outside of the area covered by the earlier recalls. One can be an anomaly. Two becomes a trend, and we feel we need to act, said NHTSA Deputy Administrator David Friedman. Lawmakers have pressured the government to expand the recall to all 50 states as reports of deaths and injuries emerged. While theyll partly get their wish, the expanded recall wont cover passenger air bags, at least not yet. Also, car owners may run into a problem: a limited number of replacement parts. Takata is struggling to make
enough replacement air bag inflators to handle the smaller regional recalls and likely will have trouble supplying demand for a nationwide recall. The company has promised to add two production lines by the start of next year to make more inflators, Friedman said on a conference call following the governments recall statement. Friedman said that if Takata and the automakers dont agree to the recall quickly, the safety agency will use its legal powers to make sure the inflators are recalled. He also said Takata resisted moving to a nationwide recall Monday evening. Takata didnt respond to requests for comment from the AP. On Thursday, lawmakers will hold a hearing to question Friedman, as well as representatives from Takata and the automakers, about their response to the air bag problem. And next week, millions of drivers across the U.S. will hop in their cars to travel for the busy Thanksgiving weekend. The governments demand for the national recall covers vehicles made by Ford, Honda, Chrysler, Mazda and BMW, generally from the 2008 model year and earlier. The owner of a 2007 Ford Mustang recently complained to the government about suffering a leg injury when an air bag malfunctioned in North Carolina. Friedman said NHTSA is asking automakers for a complete list of vehicles with Takata inflators that are similar to the 2007 Mustang, and that information will be shared with the public when available. He did not know an exact number of vehicles involved. Ford, Chrysler, Mazda and Honda said Tuesday that theyre working with NHTSA, but they wouldnt say if they will expand their recalls. BMW said its recalls of Takata air bags already are national.

Smart Money to it every month with $200 in savings. If he establishes the appropriate habits now, he will be very successful in life. I think he must have you to thank for his good judgment. DEAR BRUCE: When I purchased my house, this area was the most desirable place to live. After 15 years, the neighborhood is going down the drain because of drug dealers, robbery, etc. I cant afford to move since I am on a fixed income. I have made many phone calls to the code enforcement department to try to get help, but they want me to give them my name and address in order to make a complaint about my neighbors. I am not going to do that. What other options do I have? -- Reader DEAR READER: I sympathize with the house market going down the drain. You say you cant afford to move because you are living on a fixed income, but it may very well be that you ought to think about selling this house and renting in a better neighborhood, perhaps a small apartment. Regarding code enforcement, there are not many other options, but if you are in a modestly sized community, I would consider calling your city councilman or the mayors office and making a complaint directly to them, explaining the situation. They are there to help you, and they should. DEAR BRUCE: Does the government insure money market funds or does the broker/investor? -- Reader DEAR READER: Some money market funds are invested in ways that are insured by the federal government, but there are exceptions, so be certain you know what the exceptions are. It should be very clear, and will be made clear by the seller of the funds, who is responsible in case things go bad. (Send questions to bruce@ brucewilliams.com.

DEAR BRUCE: Can you
explain to me what a 529 plan is and how it works? I want to make sure my daughter has enough money to attend college when that time comes. -- Reader DEAR READER: The 529 is a savings plan with tax incentives operated by your state. There are good ones and bad ones. As far as making certain your daughter has enough money to attend college, the 529 may very well be part of her future, but its going to take some research on your part to learn what the 529 plan offers, how much you can expect to receive and so forth. The information is out there, and its worth putting the effort into this research. You do not have to use only the plan your state offers. You can and should investigate other plans. DEAR BRUCE: How do you know how much liability insurance you should carry on a vehicle? I am 39 years old and will be getting my first vehicle. -- Reader DEAR READER: I am certain many people will disagree with this information: Most people would think $100,000 to $200,000 is adequate, but in my opinion, its not even close. The primary policy ought to be $250,000, plus at least an extra $2 million on top of that first quarter of a million. The additional $2 million will be relatively inexpensive and it would give you substantial coverage, which is just barely enough. Frankly, I carry considerably more than that. You should have enough coverage in case someone sues you for a million and is successful. Without that additional insurance, you will be paying for the rest of your life or having to declare bankruptcy if you were adjudicated to be at fault. Trust me on this one. DEAR BRUCE: My 18-year-old son recently started his first job. He keeps asking me where he should put his money to start saving for his future. He said he can afford to put $50 a week in a savings account. How much do you think he should accumulate in his savings account before he moves on to a better-earning investment? -- B.C. DEAR B.C.: You son is starting off on the right foot. At $50 a week, he can certainly save $500 in 10 weeks. At that point, he should consider investing in the stock market. He cant buy large quantities, but he could buy an initial stake of $500 and add

soldier in World War II; he was also a movie star after the war. How many movies did he appear in? How many times did he marry? How many children did he have? When did he die? -- J.G., Aston, Pa. A: Audie Leon Murphy was born in Texas on June 20, 1925. He was famous for becoming one of the most decorated American soldiers of World War II. After the war, he took up acting and appeared in 44 movies. During the 1950s and 1960s, he was cast primarily in Westerns. He married actress Wanda Hendrix on January 8, 1949; the marriage lasted a bit over two years. He married former airline stewardess Pamela Archer Audie Murphy on April 23, 1951. He had two sons. On May 28, 1971, Murphy was killed when the private plane in which he was a passenger crashed into Brush Mountain, Va., during inclement weather. The pilot and four other passengers were also killed. He is buried in Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Va. It is the second-most visited grave in the cemetery, second only to President John F. Kennedy. Q: I always enjoyed the TV series M.A.S.H. Radar was so fond of his teddy bear. Did it have a name? -- F.L., Madison, Wis.

think you need to talk to your childs pediatrician and ask if this behavior is normal at this age. DEAR ABBY: I have had very few female friends in my life. I have a hard time relating to other women. My fiance doesnt approve of me having close friendships with other men. I recently met a lesbian couple whose company I enjoy. My fiance doesnt like us being friends because they are trying to turn me gay. Abby, this is ridiculous. I have never been attracted to women, and these ladies have never brought up the possibility that I may be lesbian, as they know I am straight. How can I make my fiance come to terms with our friendship? Im thinking of calling off the engagement. -- STRAIGHT GIRL IN THE SOUTH DEAR STRAIGHT GIRL: Has it become clear to you yet how insecure and controlling your fiance appears to be? Straight people are not turned gay because they have lesbian or gay friends. You can talk at him until the cows come home, but unless he is willing/able to overcome his bias, he wont believe you. This is my long-winded way of advising you to find a more openminded, secure man to marry because it doesnt take a crystal ball to predict
that the one youre engaged to will
eventually make you feel isolated, trapped and unhappy. DEAR ABBY: Regarding the gent from Texas who likes to wear blue nail polish, there exists a famous fresco dating from 1500 B.C. or earlier from the palace of Knossos. The fresco was dubbed The Prince by British archaeologists and depicts a long-haired male stripped to the waist wearing blue fingernail polish and blue toenail polish. The original now resides in the Heraklion Archeological Museum in Knossos on the island of Crete. Any good art history book will have a reproduction of this well-known work of art. -RON F.

Telling The Tri-Countys Story Since 1869
DEAR ABBY: Last weekend some
family members were at my moms house for a meal. My 6-year-old son and my cousins 4-year-old daughter were playing in the room my mom had set up for the grandkids. When I went to check on them, I noticed the bathroom door was closed, so I knocked. My son answered, sounding rather panicked. I asked if Jenny was in there with him. He said no, then opened the door, but he looked scared, as if he knew he had done something wrong, and glanced nervously at the closed shower curtain. Sure enough, there was Jenny, standing in the tub with her bathing suit around her ankles trying to get it back on. I told her to put her clothes on and took my son outside to speak with him. Rory admitted they were showing each other their private parts and had touched and rubbed them. I asked him why and where he learned how to do that, and he implied it was his idea! Abby, he has never seen any adult movies, magazines, love scenes, or caught me or anyone else in the act. Why on earth would this be on his mind at such a young age? Do you think he needs counseling? -WORRIED MOM IN CALIFORNIA DEAR WORRIED MOM: No. Playing doctor is a game children have

teddy bear was found there and was incorporated into the script. The bear was never given a name. For a while, the bear was housed in the Smithsonian. It was auctioned on eBay in 2005 for nearly $12,000. Gary Burghoff played Radar OReilly in 156 Gary Burghoff episodes of the hit show. Q: Many, many years ago, I read a quote saying something like, Its nice to have money to buy things, but you should check on your possessions for things that do not cost money. Im stretching this a bit. Do you know of the phrase? -- K.D.B., Clearwater, Fla. A: How about this: Its good to have money and the things that money can buy, but its good, too, to check up once in a while and make sure that you havent lost the things that money cant buy, by George H. Lorimer, author and editor of the Saturday Evening Post. DID YOU KNOW? Charlie Chaplin once lost a Charlie Chaplin look-alike in San Francisco. Q: When did singer Patti Page die? I dont have a computer to look it up. -S.B., London, Ky. A: Patti Page, born Clara Ann Fowler, was an incredibly popular singer Patti Page best known for Tennessee Waltz. She was born Nov. 8, 1927; she died on Jan. 1, 2013.

Behold, the English beach Pales in the flood with men, with wives and boys, Whose shouts and claps out-voice the deep mouthd sea, Which like a mighty whiffler fore the king Seems to prepare his way: so let him land, And solemnly see him set on to London. In the time of the Bard, a whiffler was one who cleared the way for a procession. Q: Im sure every baseball fan knows the answer to this, but I dont.

New knowledge, medications
can ease pain of ulcerative colitis DEAR DOCTOR K: Ive recently been diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. What causes it, and how is it treated? DEAR READER: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an inflammatory disease of the colon or large intestine. UC can cause debilitating abdominal pain and diarrhea, and it substantially increases your risk of colon cancer. Our large intestines contain trillions of bacteria. Normally, tissue lining the intestine prevents these bacteria from infecting the intestinal wall. But when the intestines lining fails, bacteria that usually are harmless can activate your immune system. UC is an autoimmune disease. In such diseases, the immune system -- which is there to defend us against foreign invaders -- instead attacks our own tissues. In the case of UC, the immune system mistakenly attacks the intestine, causing inflammation and injury. Over time, UC wears away the lining of the rectum and colon; it leaves ulcers that may bleed or ooze mucus or pus. UC can cause abdominal cramping, bloody diarrhea and urgent bowel movements. You may be able to ease your symptoms by avoiding foods that trigger your symptoms. Common culprits include spicy foods and dairy products. Medications can often control symptoms. Most patients begin with anti-inflammatory drugs that are related to aspirin. These drugs take time to work; you may need to take them for several weeks before you are symptom-free. If these drugs dont work, you may be prescribed more powerful anti-inflammatory drugs: corticosteroids. Unfortunately, they can have worrisome side effects, including increased risk of infection. In the past decade, powerful new medicines called biologics have been developed. They often are successful when other treatments for UC have failed, but they can also have serious side effects.
Dr. Anthony L. Komaroff, M.D.
Ask Doctor K When drugs dont work or are too difficult to tolerate, your doctor may suggest surgery to remove the colon. Surgery is also an option if your risk of colon cancer is particularly high. Some colon-removal surgeries leave you unable to defecate out of your rectum. Rather, bowel movements leave the body through an opening in the abdominal wall and into a collection bag. Newer surgical techniques allow regular bowel movements. Anyone with UC should have regular colonoscopies to check for signs of colon cancer. For a century weve known that trillions of bacteria, of many different types, live in our guts all of our lives. Weve known that some of them actually aid our health. Weve also known of a few instances in which bacteria that normally live in our gut without causing problems can start to cause problems if they multiply too rapidly. An example is the infectious diarrhea caused by bacteria called C. difficile. But in the past five years weve discovered that our normal gut bacteria may influence our health in ways we never imagined. There is increasing evidence that subtle imbalances between different types of normal gut bacteria may be important causes of many diseases, including UC. (Dr. Komaroff is a physician and professor at Harvard Medical School. To send questions, go to AskDoctorK.com, or write: Ask Doctor K, 10 Shattuck St., Second Floor, Boston, MA 02115.)

No on Keystone pipeline Senate blocks NSA
but GOP vows replay phone records measure DINA CAPPIELLO Associated Press WASHINGTON In a combustible blend of oil and politics, the Democraticcontrolled Senate rejected legislation Tuesday night to force completion of the Keystone XL Pipeline. Republicans vowed to resurrect the controversial issue soon after taking two-house control of Congress in January. The 59-41 Senate vote was one short of the 60 needed to clear the House-passed measure, and marked a severe blow to embattled Sen. Mary Landrieu of Louisiana. While President Barack Obama and much of her party oppose the bill, the third-term Democrat had commandeered control of the chambers agenda in hopes of securing approval of the project and boosting her chances in an uphill Dec. 6 runoff election. All 45 Senate Republicans supported the legislation to build the Canada-to-Texas pipeline. Only 14 of 55 Democrats and allied independents joined them, a total that didnt budge despite an appeal by the Louisiana Democrat behind closed doors a few hours before the vote. The vote was one of the last acts of this Senate controlled by the Democrats. It is expected to complete its work by mid-December. But Republicans said a pipeline replay with the potential to spark a veto confrontation with Obama would be coming and soon. Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and the incoming majority leader, said within minutes of the vote, I look forward to the new Republican majority taking up and passing the Keystone jobs bill early in the new year.
Probe of Ferguson police could spur broad change WASHINGTON (AP) As local authorities in Missouri near the end of their investigation in the Ferguson shooting, a broader federal civil rights review could hold a greater potential to refashion the police department and bring long-lasting change. While a St. Louis County grand jury investigates the Aug. 9 shooting of 18-yearold Michael Brown, the Justice Department is investigating, too. More than two months into its probe of the Ferguson departments practices, the civil rights inquiry is focusing on use-of-force, stops and searches and possible patterns of discrimination in the ways that officers in the predominantly white department interact with the majority-black community. Results are likely months away and may do little quickly to mollify the community. But whether or not officer Darren Wilson ends up facing state or federal criminal prosecution, the civil rights investigation will continue. In similar cases, broad federal investigations of police departments have dictated changes in how officers carry out the most fundamental of tasks, from searching suspects to making traffic stops. If the end goal of this is to ensure that no ones civil rights get violated, that everyone is treated decently and their constitutional rights are protected, the best thing that can come out of this is an overall look at the department, said David Weinstein, a former federal civil rights prosecutor in Miami. Outgoing U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder has made the overhaul of troubled police departments among his civil-rights priorities. In the past five years, the Justice Department has investigated some 20 police departments for problems that include treatment of the mentally ill, high numbers of officerinvolved shootings and patterns of excessive force and racial bias. Police departments in Detroit, Seattle and New Orleans are among those that have committed to reforms.
Her political career in jeopardy, Landrieu
told reporters, Im going to fight for the people of my state until the day that I leave, and I hope that will not be soon. Rep. Bill Cassidy, Landrieus Republican opponent, said that Louisiana families need better jobs, better wages and better benefits, and the pipeline would provide them. Democratic divisions were on vivid display in a bill that pitted environmentalists against energy advocates. While Obama opposes the measure, likely 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton has repeatedly refused to take a position. Most recently, her spokesman did not respond to two requests over the weekend to do so. Among Senate Democrats, 14 had publicly announced their support for the bill in the hours before the vote, but several whom Landrieu had hoped would provide the critical 60th vote needed for passage failed to step forward. Among retiring lawmakers, Jay Rockefeller of West Virginia, Tim Johnson of South Dakota and Tom Harkin of Iowa all said in advance they would oppose the bill. Sen. Angus King, I-Maine, who opened the door on Monday to becoming the 60th vote, slammed it shut a few hours later. Several Democrats said the issue was discussed at some length at a weekly closed-door meeting of the partys senators. Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia, a supporter of the bill, said Landrieu pointed out that this vote is going to happen, whether it happens now or it happens in January, same outcome, so why not do it now? She brought it to a head.
WASHINGTON (AP) The Senate on Tuesday blocked a bill to end bulk collection of American phone records by the National Security Agency, dealing a blow to President Barack Obamas primary proposal to rein in domestic surveillance. The 58-42 vote was two short of the 60 needed to proceed with debate. Voting was largely along party lines, with most Democrats supporting the bill and most Republicans voting against it. The Republican-controlled House had previously passed its own NSA bill. The legislation would have ended the NSAs collection of domestic calling records, instead requiring the agency to obtain a court order each time it wanted to analyze the records in terrorism cases, and query records held by the telephone companies. In many cases the companies store the records for 18 months. The revelation that the spying agency had been collecting and storing domestic phone records since shortly after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, was among the most significant by Edward Snowden, a former agency network administrator who turned over secret
NSA documents to journalists. The agency collects only
so-called metadata numbers called, not names and not the content of conversations. But the specter of the intelligence agency holding domestic calling records was deeply disquieting to many Americans. The bill had drawn support from technology companies and civil liberties activists. Its failure means there has been little in the way of policy changes as a result of Snowdens disclosures. Pressured to act, Obama in January proposed curbing the NSAs authority and the House in May passed a bill to do so. While the measure was pending, the NSA continued to collect American landline calling records, though the program does not cover most mobile phone records. The law authorizing the bulk collection, a provision of the post-9/11 USA Patriot Act, will expire at the end of 2015. That means Congress would have to pass legislation re-authorizing the program for it to continue. For that reason, Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California, the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, abandoned her previous
opposition to the bill. If we
do not pass the bill, we will lose this program, Feinstein said on the Senate floor. This bill increases trust and confidence and credibility of our intelligence system, said Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn. But Sen. Saxby Chambliss of Georgia, the ranking Republican on the Intelligence Committee, called the bill totally flawed and said the NSA needs the ability to sift through domestic calling records and hold them. We have under surveillance any number of Americans who are committed to jihad, Chambliss said. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., said the bill gutted a program that could successfully unravel domestic terror plots. If there is another terror attack on U.S. soil, he said, I promise you the first question we will be asked is why didnt we know about it and why didnt we prevent it. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., had earlier said he would oppose the measure, called the USA Freedom Act, because it would hinder the ability of intelligence community analysts to query a database to determine links between potential terrorists.
UN push against North Korea on rights moves ahead
UNITED NATIONS (AP) The worlds boldest effort yet to hold North Korea and leader Kim Jong Un accountable for alleged crimes against humanity moved forward Tuesday at the United Nations, where a Pyongyang envoy threatened further nuclear tests. The U.N. General Assemblys human rights committee approved a resolution that urges the Security Council to refer the countrys harsh human rights situation to the International Criminal Court. The non-binding resolution now goes to the General Assembly for a vote in the coming weeks. China and Russia, which hold veto power on the coun-
cil, voted against it.
The resolution was inspired by a groundbreaking U.N. commission of inquiry report early this year that declared North Koreas human rights situation exceeds all others in duration, intensity and horror. The U.N committee has adopted similar resolutions on the Norths abysmal human rights conditions in the past. But the fact that this years resolution includes the new idea that their absolute leader could be targeted by prosecutors has pushed the communist country to make a more furious response as that would pose a setback to its recent efforts to improve ties with the outside world to lure

Nineteen countries voted against, and 55 abstained. It is admirable that the member states of the United Nations are acting to protect the people of North Korea when their own government fails to do so, the head of the commission of inquiry, retired Australian judge Michael Kirby, said in an email, adding that he is confident the Security Council will act responsibly.

North Korean officials would also view the resolution as a potential embarrassment to their young leader who took power after the death of his dictator father Kim Jong Il in late 2011. North Korea sent a sharp warning in comments before the vote. Trying to punish it over human rights is compelling us not to refrain any further from conducting nuclear tests, said Choe Myong Nam, a foreign ministry adviser for U.N. and human rights issues. His colleagues gave no details on that threat. Choe also accused the European Union and Japan, the resolutions co-
