2 escape with minor injuriesafter train strikes stalled car

Readers of the SidneyDaily News today are notseeing things — the paper isprinted on pink paper. Andfor a very good reason.October marks the 25th

anniversary of NationalBreast Cancer AwarenessMonth and this is the news-paper’s way of focusing at-tention on the observance toincrease public knowledgeabout the importance ofearly detection.Since the program began

in 1985, mammographyrates have more than dou-bled for women age 50 andolder and breast cancerdeaths have declined.This is exciting progress,

but there are still womenwho do not take advantageof early detection at all andothers who do not get screen-ing mammograms and clini-cal breast exams at regularintervals.

older are less likely to getmammograms thanyounger women, eventhough breast cancer riskincreases with age.

• Hispanic womenhave fewer mammo-grams than Caucasianwomen and AfricanAmerican women.

• Women belowpoverty level are lesslikely than women athigher incomes to havehad a mammogramwithin the past twoyears.• Mammography use

has increased for allgroups except AmericanIndians and Alaska Na-tives.

If all women age 40and older took advantageof early detection meth-ods — mammographyplus clinical breast exam– breast cancer deathrates would reportedlydrop much further, up to30 percent.The key to mammog-

State-of-art cancertreatment centerfound at UVMC

BY BETHANY J.ROYER

Ohio Community [email protected]

TROY — Manywould assume that toreceive ground-break-ing, state-of-the-artcancer treatment re-quires traveling as farsouth as Cincinnati oreast to Columbus whensuch a facility is alreadyin their backyard.The Upper Valley

Medical Center offers acancer care treatmentcenter that is currentlyundergoing expansionwith a completion dateset for March/April of2012.While offering chemo

and radiation therapy,the Center also offersgenetic counseling forthose who may have ahereditary risk for de-veloping cancer.“We look for patients

who display what wecall red flags,” saidSarah Jones, an oncol-ogy clinical nurse spe-cialist or OCNS, inregards to family mem-bers who have, “Been di-agnosed with breastcancer at an early age.Usually under the ageof 50, if it is under theage of 40 we get a littleexcited about that be-cause it is really outsidethe norm.”Jones also explained

how they look forwomen and men whohave a family history ofrare cancers, such asovarian cancer, andthose who have been di-agnosed with bothbreast and ovarian, orcombinations of cancersthat includes pancre-atic, gastric, colon andmelanoma.Ethnicity can also

play a part such as theCaucasian populationhaving a 1 in 200 to 300chance of an inheritedgenetic mutation for acancer in comparison toAshkenazi Jewishwomen who have a 1 in40 risk.“We know that all

cancers are genetic butnot all cancers arehereditary, there’s a dif-ference there,” ex-plained Jones. “Canceris caused because thereis damage to the genesin some way, shape orform.Whether that’s ac-quired through the en-vironment or somethingthat we eat or whetherit is being passed to usthrough our genes fromour family.”What these family

studies have found isthat most cancers occursporadically. “We don’treally know why theyhave it,” continuedJones. “They don’t havea clear family history;they don’t have any ex-posure history.”These sporadic can-

cers account for about70 percent of diagnoses,with 5 to 10 percent

being hereditary.For Jones, her genetic

counseling begins bytalking with patients tofind what their truehereditary risk is forhaving one of these in-herited genetic muta-tions for cancer. “I goover what options arefor testing, what risksand benefits for testingbecause, unfortunately,it’s not a clear cut an-swer,” said Jones as shefurther explained thatsince we receive half ofour genetic informationfrom our mother andhalf from our father,“There’s a 50/50 chanceof inheriting any ge-netic or hereditary traitthat either of them mayhave which includesthese genetic disposi-tions.”Jones works through

the family history, cre-ating a pedigree, threegenerations of familyhistory where the can-cer can be tracked andexplain what the re-sults mean. Such as anegative test result canmean the absence of themutation but not that itisn’t in the rest of thefamily.“As you can imagine

it is kind of stressful,”Jones said on the re-sults and that it is im-portant that themutation and risk beidentified.Education is also cer-

tainly key, with Jonesdefining sporadic ver-sus hereditary cancersand that while manywould assume the num-ber of cancer in a familywould be a red flag sheis looking for those inthe family, “Who are di-agnosed at an early ageand on one side of thefamily; numbers is not adeciding factor.”

IN THIS Feb. 17 file photo, actor George Clooney(center) plans a shot during filming of “Ides ofMarch” in Cincinnati. Clooney says his Ohio-Ken-tucky roots and his father’s failed bid for politicaloffice influenced the film. Clooney tells The Cincin-nati Enquirer he decided to film the movie inCincinnati because he knows it well and thought itwould be fun to shoot in his hometown.

Clooney: Ohio rootsinfluenced ‘Ides of March’CINCINNATI (AP) —

George Clooney says hisOhio-Kentucky rootsand his father’s failedbid for political office in-fluenced his upcomingfilm, “The Ides ofMarch.”Clooney tells The

Cincinnati Enquirer(http://bit.ly/qx6daD ) hedecided to film the moviein Cincinnati because heknows it well andthought it would be funto shoot in his home-town.The movie is directed

by Clooney, who stars asfictional presidentialcandidate and Pennsyl-vania Gov. Mike Morris.Co-star Ryan Gosling

plays the governor’s ide-alistic press secretarywho learns quickly aboutdirty politics.Clooney tells the

newspaper that themovie was inspired byhis father Nick Clooney’sunsuccessful 2004 runfor Kentucky’s 4th Con-gressional District.George says many of

his character’s politicalviews are derived fromhis father’s work as acolumnist for the now-defunct newspaper TheCincinnati Post.

Students from war-tornAfghanistan are hopingto find solutions to thatcountry’s social and eco-nomic problems withhelp from a southwestOhio university’s busi-ness school.Seventy Afghan post-

U.S. government’s Ful-bright foreign studentprogram have been par-ticipating in workshopsand other activities atthe seminar sponsoredby the State Departmentand the Center for SocialEntrepreneurship inMiami’s Farmer School ofBusiness.The students have

gained practical knowl-edge about how to buildbusinesses and createjobs, while also address-ing their country’s per-sistent social problems,said Brett Smith, thecenter’s founding direc-tor.“We give them tools to

help them diagnose theproblems, understandthe root causes and findinnovative solutions,”Smith said.On Friday, the stu-

dents visited a nonprofitfood bank in Cincinnatithat provides emergencyfood services so theycould see a real exampleof how business strate-gies are used to achievesocial change.“We wanted them to

see how the food bankdeals with the health-re-lated hunger problem,how it operates andfunds the operations,”Smith said.The students also

have worked in smallgroups on simulated sit-uations requiring themto develop business mod-els, organizations andstrategies to improveproblems in key areas,including education, en-gineering, internationalrelations, public adminis-tration and public health.

Overtime can drainpension system

DAYTON (AP)—Highamounts of overtime ac-crued in a few years ofservice can boost a publicemployee’s pension pay-out, which could cause aproblem for the Ohio gov-ernmental units makingthose payments.Many Ohio public em-

ployees can retire anddraw benefits after 30years of paying into thesystem, or just five oncethey reach age 65. Pen-sions are based on aworker’s three highest-paid years, includingovertime.Ohio Retirement

Study Council directorAristotle Hutras told theDayton Daily News thatpaying into the system ata low salary but receivinga pension for life that isbased on a significant

three-year pay spikethrows the entire systemout of whack.Ohio’s five pension

plans benefit roughly 1.7million state workers, re-tirees and their families.The recession caused pen-sion investments to take ahit, and now state legisla-tors are thinking aboutrequiring public employ-ees to contribute more totheir retirement andtrimming benefits to keepthe systems from goingbankrupt.Hutras’ council is a

nonpartisan group taskedwith finding ways to fixthe pension systems.“(Pension) spiking is

an issue with respect toany of the funds,” Hutrassaid. “If your pensionamount is based on an ex-orbitant (pay) spiking sit-

uation then I think folkswouldmake an argumentit’s subsidized by the restof membership.”The state’s total over-

time expense in 2010 was$122 million. The OhioDepartment of Rehabili-tation and Correctionswas the largest contribu-tor to that bill, with $60.4million in overtime in2010.The CorrectionsDe-partment has logged$24.4 million in overtimein the first half of thisyear.Overtime isn’t the only

cause of pension spiking.If a state employee takesanother public job at ahigher wage or receives alarge pay raise in theirfinal three years beforeretirement, their pensionbenefits would increaseaccordingly.

Gas drilling wastepumped under Ohio

AKRON (AP) — Mil-lions of gallons of drillingwaste have been injectedunderground in Ohio,leading some to worryabout possible ties toearthquakes.The drilling practice

known as hydraulic frac-turing uses chemically-laced water to free oiland gas from under-ground shale formations.Ohio has 181 wells to in-ject waste fluid under-ground.The Akron Beacon

Journal reported thatnearly 50 percent of thedrilling waste comesfrom Pennsylvania,which last year bannedshipment of the liquidto state water treat-

ment plants.In contrast to Ohio,

Pennsylvania only haseight injection wells, dueto its underground geol-ogy.In Pennsylvania, a

drilling boom into theMarcellus shale is underway. Ohio drillers worrythat the flood of wastefluid from Pennsylvaniawill crowd out space forOhio waste as drillinginto the potentially-lu-crative Marcellus andUtica shale spreads,TomStewart, executive direc-tor of the 1,500-memberOhio Oil & Gas Associa-tion, told the newspaper.Ohio cannot ban ship-

ments from other states,as they are protected

under the U.S. Constitu-tion.Between 2007 and

2010, Ohio injectednearly 1.2 billion gallonsof waste underground.The liquids spread out inthe rock layers, makingit impossible to predicthow much more can bestored. However, it is un-likely the ground canstore an extensiveamount, as the drillingindustry in Ohio hasbeen using injectionwells since the 1930s.Geologists suspect

that the drilling fluid cantrigger earthquakesalong geological faultlines by allowing rocks toflowmore easily past oneanother.

NEW YORK (AP) — Theprotesters who have beencamping out in Manhattan’sFinancial District for morethan two weeks eat donatedfood and keep their laptopsrunning with a portable gas-powered generator. They havea newspaper — the OccupiedWall Street Journal — and amakeshift hospital.They lack a clear objective,

though they speak against cor-porate greed, social inequality,global climate change andother concerns. But they’regrowing in numbers, gettingmore organized and show nosign of quitting.City officials “thought we

were going to leave and wehaven’t left,” 19-year-old pro-tester Kira Moyer-Sims said.“We’re going to stay as long aswe can.”Saturday’s arrests of more

than 700 protesters whotried to cross the BrooklynBridge appeared to do littleto dampen enthusiasm Sun-day.The Occupy Wall Street

demonstration started out lastmonth with less than a dozencollege students spending daysand nights in Zuccotti Park, aprivate plaza off Broadway. Ithas grown sizably, however,both in New York City andelsewhere as people across thecountry, from Boston to LosAngeles, display their solidar-ity in similar protests.Moyer-Sims, of Portland,

Ore., said the group has grownmuch more organized. “Wehave a protocol for mostthings,” she said, including get-

ting legal help for people whoare arrested.The protest has drawn pro-

testers of diverse ages and oc-cupations, including JackieFellner, a marketing managerfromWestchester County.“We’re not here to take

downWall Street. It’s not pooragainst rich. It’s about bigmoney dictating which politi-cians get elected and what pro-grams get funded,” she said.On Sunday, a group of New

York public school teachers satin the plaza, including DeniseMartinez of Brooklyn. Shemost students at her schoollive at or below the povertylevel, and her classes arejammed with up to about 50students.“These are America’s future

workers, and what’s tricklingdown to them are the problems— the unemployment, thecrime,” she said. She blamedWall Street for causing the

country’s financial problemsand said it needed to do moreto solve them.Police officers have been a

regular sight at the plaza, butNYPD spokesman PaulBrowne said the protest hasnot led the department to as-sign additional officers to thearea. The department won’tchange its approach to han-dling the protest and will con-tinue regular patrols andmonitoring, he said.

DAVID GERBI gestures in front of the main synagogue inTripoli, Libya, Sunday. An exiled Libyan Jew has returned tohis homeland to rebuild Tripoli’s main synagogue and createan atmosphere of tolerance now that Moammar Gadhafi hasbeen ousted.

Wall Street protesters:We’re in for the long haul

TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) —David Gerbi is a 56-year-oldpsychoanalyst, but to Libyanrebels he was the “revolution-ary Jew.” He returned to hishomeland after 44 years inexile to help oust MoammarGadhafi, and to take on whatmay be an even more chal-lenging mission.That job began Sunday,

when he took a sledgeham-mer to a concrete wall. Be-hind it: the door to Tripoli’scrumbling main synagogue,unused since Gadhafi ex-pelled Libya’s small Jewishcommunity early in hisdecades-long rule.Gerbi knocked down the

wall, said a prayer and cried.“What Gadhafi tried to do

is to eliminate the memory ofus. He tried to eliminate theamazing language. He triedto eliminate the religion ofthe Jewish people,” saidGerbi, whose family fled toItaly when he was 12. “I wantbring our legacy back, I wantto give a chance to the Jewishof Libya to come back.”The Star of David is still

visible inside and outside thepeach-colored Dar al-Bishisynagogue in Tripoli’s walledOld City. An empty ark where

Torah scrolls were once keptstill reads “Shema Israel” —“Hear, O Israel” — in fadedHebrew. But graffiti ispainted on the walls, and thefloor and upper chambers arecovered in garbage — plasticwater bottles, clothes, mat-tresses, drug paraphernaliaand dead pigeon carcasses.He and a team of helpers

carted in brooms, rakes andbuckets to prepare to clean itout.It took Gerbi weeks to get

permission from Libya’s newrulers to begin restoring thesynagogue, which is part ofhis broader goal of promotingtolerance for Jews and otherreligions in a new Libya.“My hope and wish is to

have an inclusive country,” hesaid. “I want to make justice,not only for me, but for all thepeople of Libya for the dam-age that Gadhafi did.”Gerbi’s family fled to Rome

in 1967, when Arab angerwas rising over the war inwhich Israel captured theWest Bank, east Jerusalemand Gaza Strip. Two yearslater, Gadhafi expelled therest of Libya’s Jewish com-munity, which at its peaknumbered about 37,000.

Anti-al-Qaidafighters dieBAGHDAD (AP) —

Four anti-al-Qaida fightersdied Sunday when tworoadside bombs explodedas their patrol passed by,Iraqi police and health offi-cials said.A police officer said the

first bomb went off next toa passing patrol of theSahwa or AwakeningCouncils, a network of pre-dominantly Sunni Arabmilitias allied with theIraqi government.The officer said the sec-

ond bomb hit another pa-trol rushing to the scene afew minutes later, killingtwo others. Three Sahwafighters were injured in theblasts.The attack took place

near the town ofMishahda,20 miles (30 kilometers)north of Baghdad.

30 soldierskilled

SANAA, Yemen (AP) —A government warplanebombed an army position insouthern Yemen, killing atleast 30 soldiers involved inmonths of intense battlesagainst al-Qaida members,officials said Sunday.The strike appeared to be

a mistake, but the soldiershit were from a unit thathad defected to side withprotesters seeking the pres-ident’s ouster in Yemen’schapter of the Arab Spring,raising questions aboutwhether the bombingmighthave been intentional.Yemen’s’ government

and the renegade militaryunits both considerYemen’sal-Qaida branch an enemy.The president’s political op-ponents, however, accusehim of allowing the Islamicmilitants to seize control ofseveral towns in southernYemen earlier this year in abid to spark fears in theWest that without him inpower, al-Qaida would takeover.

Candidate Christiecould upend GOP raceMANCHESTER, N.H. (AP)

— New Jersey Gov. ChrisChristie’s entry into the 2012presidential race could dra-matically reshape what has be-come a two-man race betweenMitt Romney and Rick Perry.But Christie,who’s under pres-sure from party elders to run,hasn’t faced national scrutiny— and he could join other earlyfavorites who burned out fast.The budget-cutting Christie

is the latest heartthrob of Re-publicans who have been look-ing for a more excitingcandidate than Romney. Theformer Massachusetts gover-nor ran in 2008 and has longbeen considered the one to beatin the GOP, which has a his-tory of nominating candidateswho lost once before.Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels,

a favorite of fiscal conserva-tives, decided not to run. So didMississippi Gov. Haley Bar-bour, long a part of the GOP es-tablishment.

Perry, the Texas governor,jumped in tomuch fanfare onlyto sweat under the scrutiny hisfirst national campaignbrought. Minnesota Rep.Michele Bachmann ralliedrestive conservatives longenough to win a key test votein Iowa but just as quickly re-ceded to the background.Christie said in January he

wasn’t “arrogant enough” torun for president in 2012. Nowhe is reconsidering in light ofencouragement from GOP lu-minaries like Henry Kissinger,Nancy Reagan and BarbaraBush.If he runs,Christie probably

would be able to raise millionsfor a campaign, though his ri-vals have a huge head start.With about 100 days before thecaucuses in Iowa, he’d face thetough task of setting up statecampaign organizationsswiftly, though he already hasa team of advisers with na-tional campaign experience.

Go Red: Lighten upPIQUA — If women

want to feel better, theyneed to lighten up a bitand get a handle on thestress that surroundsthem, Kay Frances,MBA, told those attend-ing the second annualGo Red forWomen/North ExpoSept. 17 at Edison Com-munity College in Piqua.

Among the best medi-cines for stress arehumor and laughter,said Frances, a formerstand-up comic turnedstress-management spe-cialist.

One of the biggestcauses of stress is otherpeople, she said, adding,“We can’t control whatother people say and do,but we can control ourreaction.”

To accommodate thatneed, people shouldadopt “the art of laugh-ing inside … have aninner oasis,” Francessaid.

A positive outlookalso is important as opti-mism can contribute to astronger immune sys-tem, better heart healthand decreased risk ofstroke, Frances said, re-

ferring to findings re-ported by the AmericanHeart Association(AHA).

Although women arenotorious for taking careof those around them,they have to realize it’svital to take care ofthemselves first.

“You can’t work froman empty vessel,” shesaid.

A Wilmington resi-

dent, Frances said shebecame a health-and-wellness advocate afteryears of less-than-healthy living.

What she found, shesaid, is, “It comes downto what mamma told us:exercise, drink water, eatright and sleep.”

Presented by UpperValley Medical Center,the AHA Go Red forWomen/North Expo fea-tured free health screen-ings, fitness andnutrition counseling,wellness-oriented ex-hibits, heart healthy re-f r e s h m e n t s ;fun/relaxation boothsfeaturing makeup/fash-ion and activities such aschair, hand and armmassages and more.More than 300 freehealth tests/screeningsand counseling’s wereprovided.

On Sept. 29,after a signingceremony forthe new carestandards forOhio’s livestock,members of theOhio LivestockCare StandardsBoard held aninformationalmeeting in FortRecovery.The Ohio Livestock

Care Standards Boardwas created after Issue 2passed in November2009.The board was cre-ated to develop compre-hensive livestock carestandards to ensureOhio’s animals areraised in a humane man-ner. The board is com-posed of farmers, OhioState University re-searchers, consumers, ananimal rights advocate,the Ohio Department ofAgriculture Director JimZehringer and Dr. TonyForshey, the state veteri-

narian.The two-year

ordeal to de-velop the stan-dards involvedmany longhours for theboard members.Species subcom-mittees werecreated to gen-erate standardsfor all of Ohio’s

main livestock species.The subcommittees weresupported by the Techni-cal Research AdvisoryCommittee. The commit-tees made recommenda-tions to the livestockcare standards board,which made the final de-cisions on the standards.The process was open tothe public, with manymeetings held aroundthe state where citizenswere allowed to com-ment.With the presentation

of the new standards Dr.Tony Forshey pointed

out that the standardsare to ensure the hu-mane treatment ofOhio’s livestock. They donot deal with animalcruelty. The difference ismost evident in howcomplaints are handled.If an animal welfarecomplaint is made toODA by an identifiedcomplainant — noanonymous complaintswill be investigated —the complaint will be in-vestigated. If a welfareconcern is identified, themain goal is to get thelivestock owner intocompliance. Any penal-ties that may be in-curred are civil penaltiesthat can carry a fine. Itwas reiterated through-out the evening that noone from any govern-ment organization willbe out looking for viola-tors. Only credible, iden-tified complainants willalert ODA.The standards outline

key definitions of the hu-mane treatment of live-stock and outline howanimals will be handledin different situations.One major discussionpoint was the treatmentof ambulatory and non-ambulatory disabled an-imals. An ambulatorydisabled animal is anyanimal that is able towalk but is in some wayinjured or ill. A nonam-bulatory disabled animalis injured or ill and can-not walk. The new stan-dards are specificenough to outline howeach species will be han-dled if an animal is non-ambulatory disabled andin a specific location likea farm, fair or slaughter-house. The standardshave also formerly de-fined how and why ananimal should be eutha-nized.The new standards

may potentially have aneconomic impact on

western Ohio. The stan-dards outline new hous-ing requirements forlivestock animals likeveal calves, laying hensand sows. Existing barnswill remain in compli-ance until dates speci-fied in the standards,which range from 2016to 2025. Provisions inthe standards will allowcurrent barns to be ex-panded upon with cur-rent practices. However,new construction that isa new facility separatefrom a current structurewill need to follow newpractices outlined in thestandards. Remarkswere made by presentersthat the board hopesOhio farmers will con-tinue to expand livestockin western Ohio and notmove 20 miles west toIndiana where the newstandards do not apply.Not just large farms

will be impacted by thestandards. One of the

more peculiar standardsstates that sheep, goatsand alpacas must not beraised individually. Ifanyone owns a single al-paca they will need tofind a companion for it!The new standards

formalize many prac-tices Ohio’s farmers areusing to humanely raiselivestock.Although someportions of the standardsare controversial in thelivestock industry, thenew standards will giveOhioans assurance thattheir livestock is raisedhumanely.For more information

on the standards or theboard, visithttp: / /www.ohiol ive-stockcarestandards-board.com or call theODA Division of AnimalHealth at (614) 728-6220.

Time to consider grassed waterways

This is agreat time of theyear to considerwhere you mayneed grassedwaterways.As you are

harvesting yourfields this fall,look for smallgullies and ero-sion control is-sues. Thiswell-known practice isinstalled to repair smallgullies in crop fields andmanage the flow of rain-fall runoff.Grassed waterways

are typically 30 to 50feet wide, are designedto be crossed by farmequipment and typicallyinclude installation of atile that helps keep thewaterway dry.The continuous

signup portion of theConservation ReserveProgram (CRP), admin-istered by USDA-FarmService Agency, is a par-ticularly attractive pro-gram for assistinglandowners with the in-stallation of waterways.

Currently, fi-nancial assis-tance can be inthe range of 90percent of aver-age costs. Thebest way to planfor a grassedwaterway nextyear is to plantthe field towheat this fall,since the con-

struction can occur afterwheat harvest and stillallow time for the grassseeding to get estab-lished. Waterways canalso be constructed inthe spring. Ideal condi-tions allow for installa-tion of the tile in the falland construct the water-way the following springor summer.The Shelby Soil and

Water Conservation Dis-trict is currently holdingits annual fish fingerlingsale. e will be taking or-ders until 4:30 p.m. onOct. 17. The fingerlingswill be picked up at thedistrict office, 822 FairRoad, at 10:30 a.m. onOct. 20.

If you’re stocking anew pond for the firsttime, or are consideringrestocking an olderpond, this is an idealtime of year as the watertemperature drops.Species recommended

by the OSU Extensionand the Ohio Division ofWildlife (dependingupon the pond) includelargemouth bass, bluegill, channel catfish, redear shell cracker, yellowperch, black crappie,white amur (grass carp)and minnows.For details about the

sale and recommenda-tions for your pond, callthe office at 492-6520.An order form can besent to your address,picked up at the districtoffice at 822 Fair Road orcan be emailed upon re-quest.The Annual Forestry

Field will be held Oct. 16from 1 to 4 p.m. in thewoods at the park inJackson Center. Admis-sion is free and everyoneis welcome.There will behot dogs, apples and bev-

erages with donations tobenefit the Jackson Cen-ter FFA chapter.Walk the woods with

Sidney City Schools,began this year’s compe-tition with another out-standing performance,school officials said. Sid-ney has won the compe-tition 13 times since theinaugural season in1975.“We want to thank all

of the school districts,coaches, and volunteersfor their commitment toproviding ShelbyCounty’s best andbrightest students withan opportunity todemonstrate theirunique intellectual tal-ents,” said Shawn McEl-

roy, Academia coordina-tor at the Shelby CountyEducational ServiceCenter.Academia provides

students with a chanceto connect their class-room efforts to realworld activities as theytackle questions across10 categories; literature,language, fine arts,sports/entertainment,current events, science,math and generalknowledge. The competi-tion brings together thearea’s top scholars andgives them the opportu-nity to showcase theirintellectual skills. Morethan 240 students arerepresented on the ros-ters of the nine partici-pating school districts.“Over the last two

years, local districtshave been especiallypleased by the rigor andrelevance of questionsdeveloped by HaroldPoppe and Dale

Schmidt,” McElroy said.Harold Poppe and

Dale Schmidt are serv-ing as Academia consult-ants for the secondstraight year.“We are fortunate to

have Harold and Dale aspart of the team,” McEl-roy said. “With over twodecades of collective in-

volvement with scholas-tic competitions, theirexpertise and commit-ment has been a wel-come addition.”All seven Shelby

County local highschools participate, aswell as Lehman CatholicHigh School and SidneyHigh School.

It’s a lofty goal, but at St. Rita’s Medical Center we’re committed to doing

everything we can to make this breast cancer survival rate a reality.

And that starts with getting the word out about early detection. Annual

mammograms, along with careful self-examinations, can help you detect

breast cancer in its earliest, most treatable stage.

October is breast cancer awareness month which means it’s the perfect

time to schedule a mammogram. Please call 1-419-226-9056 today.

CBC launched theRed Cord Honor Pro-gram in 2009 with 12area schools enrolled inthe pilot program. Bythe end of the schoolyear, 235 graduates fromeight schools had earnedthe honor.

In the 2010-2011school year, the numberof Red Cord recipientssoared to 1,700, repre-senting 98 high schoolsacross CBC’s 15-countyregion, all of whichhosted multiple blooddrives.

CBC is grateful toparents for the consentfor their children to do-nate, and for the cooper-ation of educators atparticipating schools.Both are essential to stu-dent success in the RedCord Honor Program.

High school blooddrives are starting inShelby County as theschool year begins.Manyschools within thecounty are participatingin student blood drives,which accounts for 10percent of all blood col-lected by the Commu-nity Blood Center.Without student blooddonors, the blood supplywould be critically low,Pleiman said. Studentblood donors are savinglives every day by donat-ing at their school blooddrives, she said.

DR. WAL-LACE: I’m 15and live with myfather andmother. I haveno brothers orsisters. My dadworks as a chefin a restaurant,and my motheris a food server.We live in a niceneighborhood,and my parentsare good people.I love my mom and mydad, and I always will.Our family is differentbecause my parents werenever married eventhough they love eachother very much. Theyjust started living to-gether and a year later, Icame along. Most peoplethink my parents aremarried to each other be-cause my mom and I usemy dad’s last name.Theyfinally told me the truthseveral years ago.

This didn’t bother me,at the time, but now itdoes. This really meansthat I am an illegitimatechild. I want my parentsto get married now, butthey told me that once anunmarried couple livestogether for seven years,they are considered mar-ried, so they are nowlegally married. I don’tthink this is true. I thinkthey just don’t want to behusband and wife, but Idon’t know why. Can yougive me the facts aboutthis? I would really ap-preciate it. Both of myparents really love me,and I love them! —

N a m e l e s s ,Miami, Fla.

N A M E -LESS:Your par-ents arereferring to“common-lawm a r r i a g e , ”which simplymeans living to-gether by mu-tual agreementin a state ofmar-riage, without aformal cere-

mony. Such marriagesare legally recognized inevery state, but stateshave varying regulationsabout the length of timespent living together be-fore such an arrangementis legal.

Theword “illegitimate”to describe children iscruel and obsolete. Nochild is illegitimate. Peo-ple have different reasonsfor mistrusting formalmarriage, however, byyour letter, it is plain tome that your family isharmonious and loving.That’s what really mat-ters. You are much betteroff than the many teenswho, though their par-ents exchanged formalmarriage vows, live inhate-filled families.

DR. WALLACE: I’mdesperate and need yourhelp and advice! I’m 16and live at home with my14-year-old brother andour mom who has beendivorced from our dad forover a year. Our dad hasremarried and is living ina nearby city. Lately,mom has been acting sort

of strange. No matterwhat my brother and Ido, our mom gets upsetand says that we are de-liberately trying to hurther. She screams at us allthe time and severaltimes she told me thatshe wished that I wasnever born. I don’t thinkshe really means whatshe is saying, but it stillhurts to hear her say it.

This change in her hastaken place over the pastnine months, ever sinceher mom died. I knowthis is on her mind, but Ithought she would beover her grief by now, butshe is getting worse.What should I do to helpour mom return to hernormal self?—Nameless,Rock Island, Ill.

NAMELESS: Discussthe problem with a rela-tive who can encourageyour mom to visit a ther-apist. Your mother can-not get over herdepression by herself.Don’t be afraid to enlisthelp from your father, ifnecessary. Act swiftly!

Fathers’ involvment in Down Syndrome

No longer in love, hubby tempted to get out and about

DEAR DR.DONOHUE: Ihave heard thatmarried coupleswho have chil-dren later in lifeare more likely tohave a child withDown syndrome.Do you think

that the highlyadvertised Viagraand other suchpotency en-hancers could addto this problem?— J.B.

ANSWER:Wehave 23pairs of chromosomes, 46chromosomes in total.They’re long strands ofgenes. The ovum andspermhave only 23 singlechromosomes— no pairs.This allows the motherand father to donateequally half of the baby’schromosomes and genes.In Down syndrome

there’s an extra No. 21

gene. The Downinfant has threeNo. 21 genes, acondition calledtrisomy.The chances for

a baby havingDown syndromeincrease with themother’s age.Women older than35 are more likelyto have twoNo. 21chromosomes intheir ova. Theolder the woman

is, the greater are thechances. For example, thechance that a woman of30 yearswill have aDownbaby are one in 1,000.Thechances for awoman of 45are one in 50.Younger women, how-

ever, have more Down in-fants than older women.That sounds like a para-dox. It isn’t. Youngerwomen have many morebabies than older women.

The father contributestoDown syndrome in only5 percent of such children.Even though older fa-thers have a slightlygreater risk of being thefather of a Down baby,their overall role in theDown syndrome trans-mission is so minor thatthe total number of Downbabies due to trisomy insperm is quite small.Viagra was introduced

in 1998. I can’t substanti-ate that a greater numberof Down children havebeen born since its intro-duction. You asked a veryinteresting question.

DEAR DR. DONO-HUE: I amwriting on be-half of several neighborswho have started soakinggolden raisins in gin.Each of them takes ninesuch raisins a day. Theyclaim this was a methodshown on television toremedy arthritis. Have

you ever heard of this?Our curiosity is gettingthe best of us.— E.G.

ANSWER: I haveheard of this many times.No one has proven that itworks. No reliable infor-mation suggests it mightwork. I don’t believe it’s alegitimate arthritis treat-ment.However, if you like gin

She calls me atwork repeatedly, thenhangs up on me if I don’tagree or give her the an-swer she wants. I finallyhad enough and told herI can no longer live likethis.She’s now saying she

has “seen the error of herways” and wants tochange. I don’t know if Ibelieve her or even careat this point. I have beenso beaten down I just gothrough themotions. Partof me would like to seewho else is out there forme, but then my wifecries and says she has“nowhere to go” and that

I’d be putting themother of mychildren “out onthe street.” Shedoesn’t work be-cause she can’tkeep a job. (Some-thing alwayscomes up thatforces her to walkout.) Please helpme. I am besidemyself and don’tknow what to do.— AT A CROSS-

ROADS: Try maritalcounseling for your chil-dren’s sake, to determinewhether your wife is ca-pable of changing andwhether your marriagecan be salvaged.If the answer is no,

consult an attorney whospecializes in family law,and when you do, seekcustody of your children.If your wife says shewants nothing to do withthem now, after a divorceher attitude isn’t likely toimprove.They will need acaring, supportive parentclose to them. If your wife

is as you have described,she appears to be moreinterested in a mealticket than a partner, andyou deserve better.

DEAR ABBY: I am acollege student. In orderto save money on hous-ing, my best friend,“Keira,” and I decided toget an apartment to-gether. She’s engaged, soit’s actually the two of usand her fiance, “Bruce.”All of us were enthusias-tic about the idea. Theymoved in a few monthsbeforeme because I had ajob back home and theirjobs were at school.Because theymoved in

first, they treat me as if itis “their” apartment and Imerely have a roomthere. When I try to buythings for the apartment,such as a new tablecloth,bath mat, etc., Keira im-mediately undoes anychanges I have madewhen I leave for the day. Ifeel it is her passive-ag-gressive way of under-mining me. It happensevery day with some-thing.

This may seen petty,but this is my apartment,too. I pay rent just asthey do, and I want tofeel at home here as well.Keira is stubborn andwants things her way.How can I get her to quitthis behavior withoutcausing further animos-ity within our home? —HOME-LESS IN NEWYORK

DEAR HOME-LESS:Convene a householdmeeting and tell Keiraand Bruce what you havetold me. While they ar-rived first and furnished“their” nest, you have anequal right to have it re-flect some of your tasteand personality. For yourfriend to erase it whileyour back is turned is in-considerate of your feel-ings.If you don’t bring this

out in the open, you willnever establish a compro-mise. Because Keira isplanning to be married,she had better get used tothe concept of compro-mise because a successfulmarriage is full of it.

CINCINNATI (AP) — Thekings of comebacks finally lostbecause they couldn’t dosomething much easier ‚Äîhold a late lead against astruggling team.Up by two touchdowns, the

previously undefeated Billscame apart.Rookie Bengals quarter-

back Andy Dalton led hisfirst NFL comeback, settingup Mike Nugent’s 43-yardfield goal as time ran out fora 23-20 victory Sunday infront of the smallest crowd inPaul Brown Stadium’s his-tory.This one stunned Buffalo

(3-1), which had been theAFC’s last perfect team.“It’s the worst way to lose

it,” said running back FredJackson, who had a 2-yardtouchdown run.The calls went against

them, too.Leading 20-13 midway

through the fourth quarter,the Bills had a chance to re-gain control. On a third-and-1from their 47-yard line, RyanFitzpatrick threw a pass toStevie Johnson that wouldhave kept the drive going.Theofficials ruled he juggled theball as he fell, a call that wasupheld on review.Buffalo had to punt.

Cincinnati had its chance.Many of the 41,142 fans

had left when Dalton led atying touchdown drive, run-ning the final 3 yards on adraw play with 4:09 to go. Hegot Cincinnati (2-2) in posi-tion to pull it out by scram-

bling for a pivotal first downon the winning drive, helpedby a replay overturn thatwent in his favor.The youngster’s strong fin-

ish ended Cincinnati’s streakof 10 straight losses againstBuffalo since the 1988 AFCchampionship game.The Bills got off to that 3-0

start by pulling off historiccomebacks, rallying fromdeficits of 18 against Oaklandand 21 points against NewEngland in the past twogames. No team in NFL his-tory had such back-to-backcomebacks.This time, it came down to

holding a lead. They couldn’tdo it.“I don’t know if it had any-

thing to do with all the emo-

tion from last week’s game,”Fitzpatrick said. “It had moreto do with us flat-out notshowing up in the secondhalf.”Buffalo went up 17-3 dur-

ing Dalton’s horrid first half.The second-round draft pickwas only 7 of 20 for 116 yardswith two sacks and an inter-ception that safety BryanScott returned 43 yards for atouchdown. His passer ratingwas a minuscule 15.8 in theopening half.The rookie finally got going

with a 17-yard touchdownpass to Jermaine Gresham,the Bengals’ first touchdownin seven quarters. His drawplay tied it, and he scrambledto set up the winning kick thenext time Cincinnati got the

ball.On third-and-3 from the

Cincinnati 43, he ran awayfrom the rush and dived out ofbounds, stretching the ball asfar ahead as he could.It was marked a few inches

short of the first down.After areview, the ball was movedabout a foot forward, givingthe Bengals a first down with45 seconds left.Brian Leonard caught a 15-

yard pass and ran 14 yards tothe Buffalo 25, setting up thewinning kick. Dalton finished18 of 36 for 298 yards. CedricBenson ran 19 times for 104yards.Coming off an emotional

win over New England, theBills were flat on offense andnever got moving.

NEW YORK (AP) — De-troit closer Jose Valverdeheld off a furious New Yorkninth-inning rally and theTigers avoided a major slip-up, beating the Yankees 5-3on a rainy Sunday andevening their best-of-five ALplayoff series at one gameapiece.Down 5-1, the Yankees

scored twice in the ninth.Helped when Detroit catcherAlex Avila lost his footing onthe slick on-deck circle whilechasing a foul pop thatwould’ve been the final out,New York got a chance to winit.“It’s a little hard. That’s

what happens sometimes,”Valverde said.After his popup landed un-

touched, Curtis Grandersondrew a walk. With two outsand two on, Robinson Canocame to the plate.Cano, who hit a grand slam

and had six RBIs as the Yan-kees won the opener, wipedaway raindrops from his hel-met and then hit a routinegroundball to end it.“All of a sudden, against

anybody — but particularlyagainst a team like themwith the short porch in rightfield — it was not a good feel-ing,” Tigers manager JimLeyland said. “But it workedout OK.”Tigers starter Max

Scherzer pitched no-hit ballinto the sixth before Canoblooped an opposite-field sin-gle to left.Miguel Cabrera’s two-run

homer in the first off FreddyGarcia gave Scherzer an earlyedge, and the Tigers took a 4-0 lead into the eighth.Granderson hit a solo

homer off Tigers relieverJoaquin Benoit in the eighth.Pretty soon, the rain — andall the drama — filled YankeeStadium.Game 3 is Monday at De-

troit. In an ace rematch, ofsorts, CC Sabathia is sched-uled to start for the Yankeesagainst Justin Verlander.The two All-Stars facedeach other in the seriesopener Friday night, but thegame was suspended afteronly 11/2 innings because ofrain.The Yankees lost three of

four this year at Detroit andare 22-25 at Comerica Parksince it opened in 2000. It’sone of only two AL stadiumswhere New York has a losingrecord.

COLUMBUS — Withpoints tougher than a Rubik’scube, Ohio State lost 10-7 toMichigan State in the Big Tenopener for both squads.The visiting Spartans

snapped a seven game losingstreak to the shorthandedBuckeyes. The Ohio State of-fense looked as flat as two-year-old Pepsi and needed atouchdown pass from JoeBauserman to Evan Spencerwith ten seconds remaining toavoid their first shutout since1982.The transparent and very

one-dimensional Buckeye of-fense struggled to get any-thing going all day long.Creativity wasn’t the name ofthe game for the OSU playcalling.Their first three posses-

sions were especially difficultto watch as OSU musteredonly seven yards on their firstpossession, two yards on theirsecond, and minus-3 yards ontheir third.Finally, it was kind of a big

deal when OSU quarterbackBraxton Miller completed a12-yard pass to Chris Fields.The completion marked thefirst time the Bucks movedthe chains and came on thesecond-to-last play of thequarter. However, it turnedout to be a very long day forthe Buckeye offense.The OSU offensive line got

pushed around all day. TheSpartans recorded 13 tacklesfor loss and nine sacks.Michigan State decided

very early on that Ohio Statewasn’t going to throw the ballso they loaded up the box.TheBucks running game failedmiserably, managing just 35-yards on the afternoon.OSU punter Ben Buchanan

had a busy afternoon. Withthe Buckeye offense strug-gling he booted the ball away10 times for an average of40.6 yards.

“We just gotta do a betterjob,” Ohio State head coachLuke Fickell said. “That’s ulti-mately what it comes down to.You don’t give your quarter-back much of a chance if he’sgetting sacked nine times.Gotta give (Michigan State)credit. They did a really goodjob at it.”Michigan State’s lone first

half touchdown provided a7-0 advantage heading intothe locker room. The Spar-tan scoring drive went fiveplays, 65-yards, and wascapped off with quarterback

Kirk Cousins hitting B.JCunningham for a 33-yardscore.The first half Spartan

touchdown combined with a50-yard field goal by Dan Con-roy early in the fourth quarterloomed large.Freshman quarterback

Braxton Miller was largerlyineffective in three quarters ofaction before giving way toJoe Bauserman. Miller was 5of 10 passing for 56 yards, aninterception, and was sackedfour times.“Things were happening

fast for him,” Fickell said ofMiller. “He just maybe didn’tsee the field real well. Wethought we were going tohave to throw the football, asmany people as they wereputting in there (in the box tostop the run) and as muchheat as they were bringing.”Four suspended players re-

turn next week for the Buck-eyes, but the schedulecertainly doesn’t get any eas-ier. OSU travels to Lincoln fortheir first matchup againstNebraska as a conference op-ponent.

Lady Jets evenvolleyball mark

The Sidney High girlssoccer team openedGreater Western OhioConference North playon Saturday, and posteda 2-1 win over Vandalia.The Lady Jackets are

6-3-2 overall.“We didn’t play very

well in the early goingand Vandalia was takingadvantage,” said Sidneycoach Stacey Goffena.Sidney was able to

put in one goal, but itwas nullified on an off-sides call. Sidney thengave Vandalia a 1-0 leadwhen a ball that wasbeing cleared bouncedoff a Sidney player andinto the goal.“That was tough,

going from being one upto one down because ofour own mistakes,” saidGoffena. “But I thoughtwe battled back well andplayed much better inthe last 20 minutes ofthe first half.”Sidney got a goal

when Lauren Elmoreplayed a ball through toMorgan Knasel to tie thegame up.Then in the second

half, even though Sidneydominated, the winninggoal didn’t come untiljust 15 minutes re-

mained when TaylorRickert connected on adirect kick from 30 yardsout.Vandalia had a break-

away attempt that wasturned away by keeperCarolyn VanMatre.“I thought defensively,

Abigail Eppley playedflawless,” said Goffena.“She came up big for ustonight.”The junior varsity

also won 2-1, with bothgoals coming from Lau-ren Boyd.Sidney hosts

CLEVELAND BROWNS quarterback Colt McCoy(12) looks to pass as Tennessee Titans defensiveend Dave Ball (98) closes in during the first quarterof an NFL football game Sunday in Cleveland.

CLEVELAND (AP) —Matt Hasselbeck’s freeagent contract with Ten-nessee included a fewperks.One of them wasn’t a

rocking chair.The 13-year veteran

quarterback, who leftSeattle after a playoff-filled decade, threwthree touchdown passesin the first half andsafety Jordan Babineauxreturned an interception97 yards for a TD as theTitans thumped theCleveland Browns 31-13on Sunday for their thirdstraight win under first-year coach Mike Mun-chak.Hasselbeck picked

apart Cleveland’s sec-ondary in the openinghalf, throwing for 194yards on several bigplays while helping theTitans (3-1) build a 21-6lead.The 36-year-old fin-ished 10 of 20 for 220yards ‚Äî 26 on just twocompletions after half-time.When the Titans

signed Hasselbeck to athree-year deal in lateJuly, the decision causedsome head scratchingaround the league. Now,other teams may bekicking themselves.“We thought he had a

lot left in the tank fromwatching him in theplayoffs last year,” Mun-chak said. “We didn’tbring him here to retirequietly. We brought himhere to do exactly whathe’s been doing.”The Titans were play-

ing with heavy hearts.On Saturday, theylearned that MikeHeimerdinger, theirbeloved former offensivecoordinator known as“Dinger” died of cancer

at 58. Heimerdinger diedwhile in Mexico to re-ceive experimentaltreatments for a rareform of the disease.Heimerdinger and

Munchak spent severalseasons on former Titanscoach Jeff Fisher’s staff.“I was a young coach,

and we grew together,”Munchak said. “He wasgreat. It’s a big, big lossto the organization.”Tennessee’s Chris

Johnson finally brokeout of his early seasonfunk, rushing 23 timesfor 101 yards, three morethan his total in threegames.Johnson was glad to

finally contribute to anoffense Hasselbeck hashumming.“Of all the quarter-

backs I’ve played with,he’s most like a coach onthe field,” Johnson said.Hasselbeck said the

transition has been eas-ier than expected, andcredited offensive coordi-nator Chris Palmer formaking it smooth andseamless.“I’m the new guy, but

our five guys up fronthave been together for solong,” he said. “And whenthe defense scorespoints, you love it. Chrisis really running theshow on the passinggame.”The Browns (2-2) did-

n’t build momentum fol-lowing a comeback winlast week over Miami,and Cleveland enters itsbye with renewed prob-lems the club hopesdon’t worsen. Corner-back Joe Haden, ar-guably Cleveland’s bestplayer, sprained his leftknee and will undergofurther examination onMonday.

Browns routedby Tennessee

In the second half, Tit-terington had two goals,Schroeder two assists,Carly Baird had a goaland Lachey an assist.“Sarah had a very good

game,” said coach BillRamey. “She was hustlingand making runs.”LHS boys fallLehman lost to a good

Yellow Springs team inboys soccer Saturday, 3-1.The Cavs, now 4-7-2,

got its lone goal in thefirst half with four min-utes remaining afterfalling behind 2-0. ZachTaylor took a free kickand played it to Matt Ul-rich, who touched theball to Dan Sehlhorst.Sehlhorst finished it tocut the lead to 2-1.Lehman’s Nick

Yourpersistent quest might finally reach asatisfactory end.SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Yourviews and opinions will have a greaterimpact on those whom you counselthan you may realistically expect.Don’t hesitate to give advice whenasked.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) —Although you may have thought thosefinancial seeds you recently plantedhad gone to the winds, you might bepleasantly surprised by signs ofsprouting.CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) —New challenges can be conquered ifyou draw upon what you’ve learnedfrom similar experiences in the past.Don’t hesitate to put this new knowl-edge to work.AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — If youhave something good to contribute,there is no reason why you shouldn’tmake your presence felt. However, doso in ways that won’t make othersview you as a right boor.PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Be-cause hopeful, new conditions are stir-ring on the horizon, it is important foryou to stay in close touch with valu-able contacts.

Sidney Daily News, Monday, October 3, 2011 Page 5B

What you need:• leaves, small jars(baby food jars work well)

• covers for jars or aluminum foilor plastic wrap

• rubbing alcohol, paper coffeefilters

• shallow pan, hot tap water, tape,pen

• plastic knife or spoon, clock ortimerWhat you do:1. Collect 2-3 large leaves from

several different trees. Tear or

chop the leaves into very smallpieces and put them into smalljars labeled with the name or loca-tion of the tree.2. Add enough rubbing alcohol

to each jar to cover the leaves.Using a plastic knife or spoon,carefully chop and grind theleaves in the alcohol.SAFETY NOTE: Isopropyl rub-

bing alcohol can be harmful if mis-handled or misused. Read andcarefully follow all warnings on thealcohol bottle.

3. Cover the jars very looselywith lids or plastic wrap or alu-minum foil. Place the jars carefullyinto a shallow tray containing 1inch of hot tap water.SAFETY NOTE: Hot water

above 150 F can quickly causesevere burns. Experts recommendsetting your water heater thermo-stat no higher than 125 F.4. Keep the jars in the water for

at least a half-hour, longer if need-ed, until the alcohol has becomecolored (the darker the better).

Twirl each jar gently about everyfive minutes. Replace the hotwater if it cools off.5. Cut a long thin strip of coffee

filter paper for each of the jars andlabel it.6. Remove jars from water and

uncover. Place a strip of filterpaper into each jar so that oneend is in the alcohol. Bend theother end over the top of the jarand secure it with tape.7. The alcohol will travel up the

paper, bringing the colors with it.After 30-90 minutes (or longer),the colors will travel different dis-tances up the paper as the alcoholevaporates.You should be able tosee different shades of green, andpossibly some yellow, orange orred, depending on the type of leaf.8. Remove the strips of paper,

let them dry and then tape them toa piece of plain paper.

The Brass BellWritten by

Cathy Sewell andillustrated by

Blaise Sewell of TheCurriculum Closet

Chapter 1: Rotten LuckThe score was tied and

Felix and his friends werelooking to claim the winninggoal.

“Open!” Hector gasped,making a breakaway. “Pass itto me!”

Felix planted his foot inthe grass and kicked thegreen and blue sphere towardhis teammate. The ball wentairborne and all the playersstood still, holding theirbreaths.

Felix could only watch asthe ball seemed to growwings and fly through the air.It sailed right over Hector,over the goal and even overthe tall fence that toweredbehind the soccer field.

“Great shot,” his team-mates growled sarcastically.Everyone headed off thefield. They all knew the wallrule: Anything hit, kicked orthrown over the 6-foot wood-en wall is lost forever.

Felix found himself allalone, still kneeling in thesame spot where he hadlaunched the ball.

“It’s not fair, abuelita,”Felix later told his grand-mother. “Why do I alwayshave such rotten luck?”

“Now, nieto,” she began,sliding a plate of fresh corn

tortillas across the table.“You know about the curseof our family.”

Felix was always interest-ed in Grandma’s stories. Hewas even willing to put upwith helping her cook,because cooking time usuallymeant story time.

“Yes,” Felix answered,adding beans and rice to thetortillas and rolling them intoburritos. “But Grandma, whydoes the curse always have tofall on me? Nobody else inour family has bad luck.”

“Felix, have I told you thestory about where that cursedthing came from?” she asked,reaching out and touchingthe small brass bell Felixwore on a string.

“Tell me again!” Felixbegged.

“Many years ago, mygreat-great-grandparentswent through some roughtimes. They had no money orfood, just a skinny goat. Oneevening, a mysterious oldwoman came to their homeand tied that brass bellaround the neck of their goat.She said the bell must stay onthe goat, or bad things wouldcome to the family.Afterward, the goat producedenough milk that they wereable to feed themselves andsell the extra.

“But late one night, mygreedy uncle snuck into thebarn and took the bell fromthe goat. He tied it around theneck of the goose, hoping toget more eggs,” Grandmacontinued.

“When he went out tocheck on the goose the nextmorning, he found the goathad died. He told his parentswhat he had done and beggedtheir forgiveness. Ever since,our family has had to pay forhis mistake!”

Felix had heard the goatstory for years, but had a hardtime believing that this littletrinket had cursed their fami-ly for generations.

“Felix! You’ve only rolledone burrito! No more storiesfor you,” Grandma teased.

“Sorry,” Felix said. “I justhaven’t had such a great day.I’m going to the attic untildinner.”

The attic was Felix’s quietplace. In a house full ofbrothers, sisters and cousins,he had very little privacy. Hespotted an old, dusty box ofbooks in the corner andselected a leather-bound onecalled “Coronado and theGolden Cities.” Felix lovedbooks about conquistadors.He immediately crackedopen the cover to start read-ing.

The next day at school,Felix was still thinking aboutwhat he had read.

“One of these days, I’mgoing exploring!” he told hisfriend, Karol. Karol usuallykept quiet in class, but Felixdidn’t have anyone else totalk to because most of thesoccer team was still mad athim.

“Where would you go?”Karol asked.

“I’ve been reading a storyabout an explorer namedCoronado,” Felix said. “Didyou know that Coronadoexplored the land rightaround here?”

“Hey, that’s freaky!”Hector joined the conversa-tion, uninvited as usual. “Iwonder if our town, Corona,is named after him?”

“Anyway,” Felix contin-ued, “Coronado was lookingfor the seven lost cities ofgold.”

“I know of a mysteriousgolden city not too far away,”Hector said, trying to soundserious. “Not many know ofits secret treasure, but thisknowledge has been passeddown for generations in myfamily. I suppose I could bepersuaded to share this infor-mation, with two fellowexplorers.”

Hector glanced over to seeif Karol and Felix were lis-tening. They both just lookedat each other.

“All right, then, it’s set-tled!” Hector announced,after the pair continued tostand in silence. “We’ll meethere at 9 o’clock tomorrowmorning!”

Fun FactWhat do autumn leaves andripening bananas have in com-mon?The green color in unripe bananas

comes from chlorophyll, the samepigment that gives green leaves theircolor. As bananas ripen, the chloro-phyll breaks down and disappears,revealing the yellow color which hasbeen there all along. The yellows andoranges of autumn leaves are alsorevealed as their chlorophyll breaksdown. Of course, other changes alsooccur as bananas ripen: the starcheschange to sugar and the flesh softensas pectin (a carbohydrate) breaksdown.

While you were playing in thehot sun during summer vacationthe trees on the streets, in theparks, and in the forests wereworking hard to keep you cool. Tofeed the shiny green leaves thatmake shade, trees use sunlight toconvert water and carbon dioxideinto sugar. This is called photosyn-thesis.Now it's autumn, and you're

back in school. Those hardworkingtrees, on the other hand, need totake a break from all that photo-synthesizing. When leaves changecolor from green to yellow, brightorange, or red, you'll know thattrees are beginning their long win-ter's rest.Where do leaf colors come

from?Leaf color comes from pig-

ments. Pigments are natural sub-stances produced by leaf cells.The three pigments that colorleaves are:• chlorophyll (green)• carotenoid (yellow, orange,

and brown)• anthocyanin (red)Chlorophyll is the most impor-

tant of the three.Without thechlorophyll in leaves, trees would-n't be able to use sunlight to pro-duce food.Carotenoids create bright yel-

lows and oranges in familiar fruitsand vegetables. Corn, carrots, andbananas are just a few of themany plants colored bycarotenoid.Anthocyanins add the color red

to plants, including cranberries,red apples, cherries, strawberriesand others.Chlorophyll and carotenoid are

in leaf cells all the time during the

growing season. But the chloro-phyll covers the carotenoid —that's why summer leaves aregreen, not yellow or orange. Mostanthocyanins are produced only inautumn, and only under certainconditions. Not all trees can makeanthocyanin.How do leaves change color?As the Earth makes its 365-day

journey around the sun, someparts of the planet will get fewerhours of sunlight at certain timesof the year. In those regions, thedays become shorter and thenights get longer. The temperatureslowly drops. Autumn comes, andthen winter.Trees respond to the decreas-

ing amount of sunlight by produc-ing less and less chlorophyll.Eventually, a tree stops producingchlorophyll.When that happens,the carotenoid already in theleaves can finally show through.The leaves become a bright rain-bow of glowing yellows, sparklingoranges and warm browns.Whatabout red leaves? Read on.Do leaves change because of

weather?Perhaps you've noticed that in

some years, the red fall colorsseem brighter and more spectacu-lar than in other years. The tem-perature and cloud cover canmake a big difference in a tree'sred colors from year to year.When a number of warm, sunny

autumn days and cool but notfreezing nights come one after theother, it's going to be a good yearfor reds. In the daytime, the leavescan produce lots of sugar, but thecool night temperatures preventthe sugar sap from flowingthrough the leaf veins and down

into the branches and trunk.Anthocyanins to the rescue!Researchers have found out thatanthocyanins are produced as aform of protection. They allow theplant to recover nutrients in theleaves before they fall off. Thishelps make sure that the tree willbe ready for the next growing sea-son. Anthocyanins give leavestheir bright, brilliant shades of red,purple and crimson.The yellow, gold and orange

colors created by carotenoidremain fairly constant from year toyear. That's because carotenoidsare always present in leaves andthe amount does not change inresponse to weather.The amount of rain in a year

also affects autumn leaf color. Asevere drought can delay thearrival of fall colors by a fewweeks. A warm, wet period duringfall will lower the intensity, orbrightness, of autumn colors. Asevere frost will kill the leaves,turning them brown and causingthem to drop early. The bestautumn colors come when there'sbeen:• a warm, wet spring• a summer that's not too hot or

dry, and• a fall with plenty of warm

sunny days and cool nights.

You can use fall leaf color to help identifydifferent tree species. Look for these leaf col-ors on the trees in your neighborhood.• Oaks: red, brown or russet• Hickories: golden bronze• Dogwood: purple-red• Birch: bright yellow• paper birch• yellow birch

• Poplar: golden yellow• Maple trees show a whole range of colors:• Sugar Maple: orange-red• Black Maple: glowing yellow• Red Maple: bright scarlet

Why do leaves fall?A tree's roots, branches and twigs can

endure freezing temperatures, but mostleaves are not so tough. On a broadleaf tree— say a maple or a birch — the tender thinleaves, made up of cells filled with water sap,will freeze in winter. Any plant tissue unable tolive through the winter must be sealed off andshed to ensure the tree's survival.As sunlight decreases in autumn, the veins

that carry sap into and out of a leaf graduallyclose. A layer of cells, called the separationlayer, forms at the base of the leaf stem.When this layer is complete, the leaf is sepa-rated from the tissue that connected it to thebranch, and it falls. Oak leaves are the excep-tion. The separation layer never fully detachesthe dead oak leaves, and they remain on thetree through winter.Evergreen trees — pines, spruces, cedars

and firs — don't lose their leaves, or needles,in winter. The needles are covered with aheavy wax coating and the fluids inside thecells contain substances that resist freezing.Evergreen leaves can live for several yearsbefore they fall and are replaced by newgrowth.On the ground, fallen leaves are broken

down by bacteria, fungi, earthworms andother organisms. The decomposed leavesrestock the soil with nutrients, and becomepart of the spongy humus layer on the forestfloor that absorbs and holds rainfall. In nature,nothing goes to waste.

SUN PRINTS with paper tapedto window...

MAKE LEAF PRINT ART...Materials: Colored constructionpaper (make sure you use paperthat will fade), leaves gathered fromyard, glue stick, masking tape

Optional: picture frames1. Dab a bit of glue onto the

back of a leaf, and attach to a pieceof construction paper

(If you are going to frame--youcan pre-trim the paper to fit a 5"x7"frame--frames can be made fromfoam, cardboard or card-stock).

2. Tape the paper to a sunny win-dow, with the leaf facing out. Leaveup for THREE TO FOUR days, orUNTIL YOU NOTICE that thepaper's color has faded. (Somedirections say a week or longer. Thistime estimate would be more accu-rate. You'll know by the fading.)

3. Remove from the window andgently peel the leaf off to reveal theprint. Frame and hang.

LEAF MOBILE IDEAS...Glue colorful and different fabrics

to both sides of several pieces ofheavy paper. Cut out leaves from

this. Tie a string on each leaf.Suspend the leaves from a smallbranch. Hang them where theymight catch a breeze.

You can also make the mobilewith leaves cut out of constructionpaper or found outdoors.
