Ohio Department ofJobs and Family Serv-ices. “We still thinkwe’re in a recovery, it’sjust a slow recovery. Weexpect there to be smallincreases and de-creases.”The number of unem-
ployed Ohio workersdropped by 5,000 to391,000 last month.Meanwhile, the state’snon-farm payroll in-creased by 1,600.Ohio gained about
3,700 jobs in goods-pro-ducing industries in No-vember, andmanufacturing added4,700. Construction lost1,000 jobs, and mining
and logging remainedunchanged from the pre-vious month.The agency said Ohio
gained 100,400 non-farmjobs between November2011 and the end of lastmonth.A total of 132,000have been added sincethe beginning of 2011.“The number of un-
employed came down inNovember, but it’s stillhigh,” Terez said. “It’sheaded in the right di-rection, but that’s still ahigh number. We thinkthis is another sign thatwe’re in recovery, eventhough it’s taken timeand it’s kind of a bumpyrecovery.”
The fact that manyOhioans are still strug-gling financially was un-derscored by Gov. JohnKasich’s announcementthis week that he’s send-ing another $1 million instate money to Ohio foodbanks to meet the grow-ing need.It’s the second year in
a row that Kasich au-thorized an additionalappropriation for theOhio Association ofFoodbanks. The moneyfrom the state’s Tempo-rary Assistance to NeedyFamilies fund will bene-fit more than 3,300pantries, soup kitchensand shelters.

COLUMBUS (AP) —The top official at theLoyal Order of Mooseand the Moose Interna-tional fraternal organi-zations has resigned oneweek after a lawsuit al-leged he molested a boymore than 30 years agoin Ohio and Louisiana.William Airey, the
groups’ CEO and direc-tor general, announcedhis decision to the Mooseboard Thursday, Moosespokesman KurtWehrmeister said Fri-day.Airey’s decision was
voluntary and was notforced by the board be-cause of the lawsuit,Wehrmeister said. Hepromised a later state-ment but said it wouldnot address the lawsuitor its allegations.The Loyal Order of
Moose is a unit of MooseInternational. Both arebased in Aurora, Ill.Airey, 71, has not com-
mented on the lawsuit.Amessage left at his home
Friday was not immedi-ately returned.The organization’s
new director and CEOsaid Airey made a toughdecision based on whatare still unfounded alle-gations.“He didn’t want to
take the focus off thegood works that’s goingin the lodges and chap-ters across this country,”said Scott Hart, who pre-viously headed the orga-nization’s MooseheartChild City & School inAurora, a school servingneedy children andteens.“He’s at the age of re-
tirement, and I think hejust felt like he didn’twant to be that distrac-tion, and the time wasnow to go ahead and re-tire,” Hart said.Hart, 43, said he
planned to focus onbuilding the organiza-tion’s membership base.He said he wasn’t awareof any negative impactthe lawsuit has had onthe group.The Dec. 13 lawsuit
filed in Franklin Countycourt in Columbus by
Jason Peck of South Car-olina, a psychiatrist whopractices in North Car-olina, alleges that Aireybegan grooming him in1980 to abuse him sexu-ally. The abuse beganthat year in Ohio, whenPeck was 12, and contin-ued elsewhere, includingNew Orleans, the suitsaid. Airey was a mem-ber of a Moose lodge inWhitehall in suburbanColumbus, where hetook Peck to Moose-re-lated functions, the suitsaid.The Associated Press

Moose director resignsState lawmakerson naughty list

COLUMBUS (AP) —Four-term Dayton De-mocrat Clayton Luckie’srefusal to resign his seatin the Ohio House whileawaiting trial on 49counts of theft, corrup-tion and money launder-ing stirred the ire ofRepublicans.But Luckie wasn’t the
only state lawmakerwho’s had a run-in withauthorities during thistwo-year General As-sembly, one of the mostmisbehaving broods inrecent years. Some re-sign, some don’t.Former Democratic
Rep.W.CarltonWedding-ton resigned and surren-dered to authorities inMarch after being in-dicted on charges ofbribery, election falsifica-tion and filing a false fi-nancial disclosurestatement.He’s now serv-ing three years in prison.Authorities involved
in the ongoing federal in-vestigation said Wed-dington took trips andcash in exchange for tak-ing steps to introducelegislation. He is be-lieved to be the firststate lawmaker in a cen-tury convicted of bribery.Luckie’s subsequent
indictment made thesession historic, saidOhio Legislative Inspec-tor General Tony Bled-soe. The Legislature’schief watchdog said it’srare to have one law-maker indicted in a ses-sion, let alone two.“You’d have to go back
to 1998 to find the lastlegislator who wascharged with a felony,”Bledsoe said. That was
the year state Sen. JeffJohnson, a ClevelandDemocrat, was convictedon federal corruptioncharges.Johnson fought to
keep his seat until theend of his term, awarethat if he didn’t resign,his legislative colleagueswould have to impeachhim to get him out.Franklin County
Prosecutor Ron O’Briensaid Friday that he’sasked Bledsoe for addi-tional information onSenate Finance Chair-man ChrisWidener’s de-cision to champion a2009 budget amendmentthat benefited a home-town agricultural non-profit the senatorco-founded and finan-cially backed. He said nowrongdoing is implied bythe inquiry.Widener said in a
statement he had “proac-tively contacted” Bledsoeand provided the factssurrounding his serviceon the board. “I plan toprovide any additionalinformation needed,”Widener said.Ohio Republican
Party spokesman MattHenderson said partyleaders can, and should,play a role in forcing badactors from office whenthe circumstances de-mand it.“There are actions
that the party leader-ship could take to re-move someone: forexample, ClaytonLuckie,” he said. “Theycould take away his fur-niture; they can forcehim to resign. They cando that.”After revelations that
then-state Rep. RobertMecklenborg, a Republi-can from Green Town-
ship, didn’t tell HouseSpeaker WilliamBatchelder about an out-of-state drunken drivingarrest — and the odd cir-cumstances that sur-rounded it — his days atthe Statehouse werenumbered.Records of the arrest
showed Mecklenborgfailed field sobriety testsand tested above thelegal blood-alcohol limit.Married with three chil-dren, he was arrested inthe wee hours of thenight with a youngwoman in the car whowas not his wife.Mecklenborg resigned
under pressure from theparty in August 2011.Two other Republican
lawmakers who hadbrushes with law en-forcement this sessiondefended themselvesagainst calls for resigna-tion.First-term state Sen.
Kris Jordan weathered ashower of criticism afterhis wife called 911 inJuly 2011 amid a domes-tic dispute. She told adeputy in a taped inter-view that, drinking ornot, her husband had apattern of getting angry,throwing things andsometimes “pushing mearound.”In a letter to the edi-
tor of the MansfieldNews Journal last sum-mer, resident JenniferArmstrong of Columbusurged Jordan’s con-stituents to demand hisresignation.“His behavior is an
embarrassment to ourgreat state, as well as toall men who behave in amanner befitting thetitle ‘husband,’” shewrote. “We do not needbullies as public offi-

In Gaylord, Mich.,where Adam is based,people were digging outof what he called “con-crete snow” — precipita-tion that was heavy, wetand hard to handle.Adam said he had tosnow-blow for the secondtime in 12 hours andtake a chainsaw to adowned tree on hisstreet before he could getout for work Fridaymorning. The arearecorded 19.6 inches ofsnow.
“It’s a bigwallop ofwin-ter weather,”Adam said.
Aviation officials andtravelers welcomedsunny skies in Chicago,where more than 500flights were canceled atthe two airports the daybefore. Only 50 flightswere canceled Friday, anda similar number faceddelays of up to two hours.
Robin Mamlet, ofBerwyn, Pa., spent Fri-day morning at Philadel-phia InternationalAirport waiting for herdaughter to arrive homefor the holidays from col-lege in Chicago. Herdaughter’s original flightwas canceled Thursdaydue to the blizzard andher rebooked flight at 6a.m. left an hour late.
Still, the plane landedin Philadelphia in plentyof time for the next step
in their holiday plans: amidday flight to PuertoRico for a five-day vaca-tion.
“So we’re in very goodshape — very lucky,”Mamlet said.
Others didn’t fare aswell. Haverford Collegefreshman IlianaNavarro, 19, was tryingto get from Philadelphiato her family in Ana-heim, Calif., but her Fri-day afternoon flight toJohn Wayne Airport wascanceled because it wasalso scheduled to stop instill-congested Chicago.
Navarro said the nextflight she could get onwas Sunday, and she hadno place to stay since hercollege campus had
closed for the holidays.“I don’t know what
they’re expecting me todo,” Navarro said. “Am Isupposed to camp out inthe airport?”
Utility crews workedto restore power in ahalf-dozen states, butthousands remainedwithout service afterheavy snow and strongwinds pulled down lines.Some schools canceledclasses for a second day.
Charlene DeWitt saidFriday afternoon thatthe lights were flickeringat her home in Michi-gan’s eastern UpperPeninsula, during highwinds that followedabout 18 inches of snow.She and her husband,
Marv, a retired statepark ranger, had stockedup on provisions the daybefore and planned tostay indoors.
“We haven’t had thismuch snow in quite awhile,” said DeWitt, a re-tired teacher in the areathat historically receivesgenerous helpings ofsnow during long win-ters. “It’s very slippery,wet snow. Not the nice,fluffy kind. But it’s veryChristmassy and verybeautiful.”

Obama nominates Kerry for SoSBY JULIE PACEAssociated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) —President Barack Obama onFriday nominated Massachu-setts Sen. John Kerry, one ofWashington’s most respectedvoices on foreign policy, as hisnext secretary of state.The move is the first in an
expected overhaul of Obama’snational security team head-ing into his second term.As the nation’s top diplo-
mat, Kerry will not only betasked with executing thepresident’s foreign policy ob-jectives, but will also have ahand in shaping them. Thelongtime lawmaker has beenin lockstep with Obama on is-sues like nuclear non-prolifer-ation, but ahead of the WhiteHouse in advocating aggres-sive policies in Libya, Egyptand elsewhere that the presi-dent later embraced.“He is not going to need a
lot of on-the-job training,”Obama said, standing along-side Kerry in a RooseveltRoom ceremony. “Few individ-uals know as many presidentsand prime ministers or graspour foreign policies as firmlyas John Kerry.”He is expected to win con-
firmation easily in the Senate,where he has served since1985, the last six years aschairman of the Foreign Rela-tions Committee.Kerry would take the helm
at the State Department fromSecretary Hillary RodhamClinton, who has longplanned to leave the adminis-tration early next year. Clin-ton is recovering from aconcussion sustained in a falland did not attend the White
House event.In a statement, Clinton
said, “John Kerry has beentested — in war, in govern-ment, and in diplomacy. Timeand again, he has proven hismettle.”Obama settled on Kerry for
the job even though it couldcause a political problem forDemocrats in Massachusetts.Kerry’s move to State wouldopen the Senate seat he hasheld for five terms, giving Re-publicans an opportunity totake advantage. Recently de-feated GOP Sen. Scott Brownwould be his party’s clear fa-
vorite in a special election.Kerry would join a national
security team in flux, withObama expected to choose anew defense secretary and di-rector of the Central Intelli-gence Agency in the comingweeks.The 69-year-old Kerry al-
ready has deep relationshipswith many world leaders,formed both during his Senatetravels and as an unofficialenvoy for Obama. The presi-dent has called upon Kerry inparticular to diffuse diplo-matic disputes in Afghanistanand Pakistan, two countries
that will be at the forefront ofObama’s foreign policyagenda early in his secondterm.At times, Kerry has been
more forward-leaning thanObama on foreign policy is-sues. He was an early advo-cate of an international “no-flyzone” over Libya in 2011 andamong the first U.S. lawmak-ers to call for Egyptian strong-man Hosni Mubarak to leavepower as pro-democracyprotests grew. Obama laterbacked both positions.Kerry would take over at a
State Department grapplingwith the deaths of the U.S.ambassador to Libya andthree other Americans duringa September attack on theconsulate in Benghazi, Libya.Kerry, during a hearing on theattacks Thursday, hinted athow he would manage U.S.diplomatic personnel workingin unstable regions.“There will always be a ten-
sion between the diplomaticimperative to get ‘outside thewire’ and the security stan-dards that require our diplo-mats to work behind highwalls,” he said. “Our challengeis to strike a balance betweenthe necessity of the mission,available resources and toler-ance for risk.”His only other rival for the
job, U.N. Ambassador SusanRice, faced harsh criticismfrom congressional Republi-cans for her initial accountingof the consulate attack.Obama vigorously defendedRice, a close friend and long-time adviser, but GOP sena-tors dug in, threatening tohold up her nomination if thepresident tapped her for thepost.

MERIDA, Mexico (AP) —Dec. 21 started out as theprophetic day some had be-lieved would usher in the fieryend of the world. By Friday af-ternoon, it had become morecomic than cosmic, the punchline of countless Facebookposts and at least severaldozen T-shirts.At the ruins of the ancient
Mayan city of Chichen Itza,thousands chanted, dancedand otherwise frolickedaround ceremonial fires andpyramids to mark the conclu-sion of a vast, 5,125-year cyclein the Mayan calendar.The doomsayers who had
predicted apocalypse werenowhere to be seen. Instead,people showed up in T-shirtsreading “The End of theWorld: I Was There.”Vendors eager to sell their
ceramic handicrafts andwooden masks called out topassing visitors, “Buy some-thing before the world ends.”And on Twitter, (hash)End-
oftheWorld had become one ofthe day’s most popular hashtags.For the masses in the ruins,
Dec. 21 sparked celebration ofwhat they saw as the birth of
a new and better age. It wasalso inspiration for massiveclouds of patchouli and mari-juana smoke and a chorus ofconch calls at the break ofdawn.The official crowd count
stood at 20,000 as of mid-af-ternoon, with people continu-ing to arrive. That surpassedthe count on an average daybut not as many as have gath-ered at the ruins duringequinoxes.The boisterous gathering
Friday included Buddhists,pagan nature worshippers,druids and followers of Aztec
and Maya religious traditions.Some kneeled in attitudes ofprayer, some seated with armsoutstretched in positions ofmeditation, all facing ElCastillo, the massive mainpyramid.Ceremonies were being
held at different sides of thepyramid, including one led bya music group that belted outAmerican blues and reggae-inspired chants. Others in-volved yelping and shouting,and drumming and dance,such as one ceremony led byspiritual master OllinYolotzin.
“The world was never goingto end, this was an inventionof the mass media,” saidYolotzin, who leads the Aztecritual dance group Cuautli-balam. “It is going to be a goodera. …We are going to be bet-ter.”Ivan Gutierrez, a 37-year-
old artist who lives in thenearby village, stood beforethe pyramid and blew a low,sonorous blast on a conchhorn. “It has already arrived,we are already in it,” he saidof the new era. “We are in afrequency of love, we are in anew vibration.”But it was unclear how
long the love would last: A se-curity guard quickly cameover and asked him to stopblowing his conch shell, en-forcing the ruin site’s ban onholding ceremonies withoutprevious permits.Similar rites greeted the
new era in neighboringGuatemala, where Mayanspiritual leaders burned offer-ings and families danced incelebration. GuatemalanPresident Otto Perez Molinaand Costa Rican PresidentLaura Chinchilla attended anofficial ceremony in the de-partment of Peten, along withthousands of revelers andartists.

WASHINGTON (AP) —Guns and police officers in allAmerican schools are what’sneeded to stop the next killer“waiting in the wings,” theNational Rifle Association de-clared Friday, taking a no-re-treat stance in the face ofgrowing calls for gun controlafter the Connecticut shoot-ings that claimed the lives of26 children and school staff.“The only thing that stops
a bad guy with a gun is a goodguy with a gun,” said WayneLaPierre, the group’s chief ex-ecutive officer.Some members of Congress
who had long scoffed at gun-control proposals have begunto suggest some concessionscould be made, and a fierce de-bate over legislation seemslikely next month. PresidentBarack Obama has demanded“real action, right now.”
The nation’s largest gun-rights lobby broke its weeklongsilence on the shooting ram-page at Sandy Hook Elemen-tary School with a defiantpresentation. The event wasbilled as a news conference, butNRA leaders took no questions.Twice, they were interruptedby banner-waving protesters,who were removed by security.Some had predicted that
after the slaughter of a scoreof elementary-school childrenby a man using a semi-auto-matic rifle, the group mightsoften its stance, at leastslightly. Instead, LaPierre de-livered a 25-minute tiradeagainst the notion that an-other gun law would stopkillings in a culture wherechildren are exposed daily toviolence in video games,movies and music videos. Heargued that guns are the solu-tion, not the problem.“Before Congress recon-
venes, before we engage in
any lengthy debate over legis-lation, regulation or anythingelse; as soon as our kids re-turn to school after the holi-day break, we need to haveevery single school in Americaimmediately deploy a protec-tion program proven to work,”LaPierre said. “And by that Imean armed security.”He said Congress should
immediately appropriatefunds to post an armed policeofficer in every school. Mean-while, he said the NRA woulddevelop a school emergencyresponse program that wouldinclude volunteers from thegroup’s 4.3 million membersto help guard children.His armed-officers idea was
immediately lambasted bygun control advocates, and noteven the NRA’s point man onthe effort seemed willing to goso far. Former RepublicanRep. Asa Hutchinson ofArkansas, whom LaPierrenamed national director of the
program, said in an interviewthat decisions about armedguards in schools should bemade by local districts.“I think everyone recog-
nizes that an armed presencein schools is sometimes appro-priate,” Hutchinson said.“That is one option. I wouldnever want to have a manda-tory requirement for everyschool district to have that.”He also noted that some
states would have to changetheir laws to allow armedguards at schools.Hutchinson said he’ll offer a
plan in January that will con-sider other measures such asbiometric entry points, patrolsand consideration of schoollayouts to protect security.LaPierre argued that
guards need to be in placequickly because “the nextAdam Lanza,” the suspectedshooter in Newtown, Conn., isalready planning an attack onanother school.

D e a rHeloise: I am anursing assis-tant, and Iwork in a nurs-ing home. Withthe holidayshere, I thoughtI would suggesta few gift ideasfor residents ofnursing, as-s i s ted - l iv ingand grouphomes that arereally appreciated. Iknow many organiza-tions and families getflowers at the holidaysand even gift baskets forthe residents. However, alot of these items arewasted. So, here are afew ideas from a care-giver:
• Socks: Feet are al-ways cold, and socks getlost in the laundry. Placename on the socks.
• Shawls for women:It can be cold sitting upduring the day, andthese will cover theshoulders.
• Blankets: Either lapor bed blankets that canprovide a “touch ofhome” or a “hug” fromfriends and family.
• Slippers: Again, be-cause feet get cold, andcirculation is bad.
• Sweaters: Madefrom sweatshirt mate-rial. These wash verywell and are warm.

How right you are!And when buying shirtsand sweaters, try not toget “pullover” types.They are difficult to geton and off. Other sugges-tions, readers? —Heloise
EASY IDDear Heloise: To save
time searching for keysin my purse, I bought acarabiner and attachedthem to it. It matchesmy purse and keeps mykeys safely inside andclose to the top. Many ofus have cars that needfobs for unlocking/lock-ing. I got the carabinerfor $1 in a clearance box
at the local hard-ware store. —Mary, via email
I use them forall kinds of proj-ects! My hus-band, David,introduced me tothem when wewere hot-air bal-looning! —Heloise
PET PALDear Readers:
Karen De-myanovich, via email,sent a photo of her dogDudley getting his nailstrimmed for a nursing-home visit. Karen says:“Dudley looks like I dowhen they take blood —just do it! He is such agood sport about every-thing.” To see Dudleygetting his manicure,visit my website atwww.Heloise.com andclick on “Pets.”— Heloise
YUMMY TREATSDear Heloise: Here’s
my trick to make acrispy, “made fromscratch”-tasting treatfrom commercial cookiedough. Follow the manu-facturer’s baking direc-tions. Turn off the oven,slightly prop open thedoor and remove thecookie tray after about10 minutes. The cookieswill set nicely, withoutburning, and keep deli-ciously crisp in a con-tainer. — Jeannie inKingwood, Texas
CRAYON MOLDSDear Heloise: Last
year for my granddaugh-ter’s birthday party, mydaughter-in-law had agreat idea for her boxesof used broken crayons.She bought a couple ofplastic candy molds, andwe melted down differ-ent colors of crayons andpoured them into themolds, making newcrayons for the treatbags. The kids reallyloved them, and nowasted crayons! Thereare so many differentmolds out there; you canfind them for just aboutany party theme. —Maria in Ohio

Christmas closings
BY STEVEROTHWELLAPExchange
NEW YORK (AP) —Investors sent Washing-ton a reminder Fridaythat Wall Street is apower player in talks toavoid the “fiscal cliff.”
Stocks fell sharplyafter House Republicanscalled off a vote on taxrates and left federalbudget talks in disarray10 days before sweepingtax increases and govern-ment spending cuts takeeffect.
Just before 2 p.m.EST,the Dow Jones industrialaverage was down 141points at 13,170, a de-cline of more than 1 per-cent. The Standard &Poor’s 500 index wasdown 16 points at 1,427.The Nasdaq compositeindex fell 38 to 3,012.
The House bill wouldhave raised taxes onAmericans making atleast $1 million per yearand locked in decade-oldtax cuts for Americansmaking less. Taxes willrise for almost all Ameri-cans on Jan. 1 unlessCongress acts.
House Speaker JohnBoehner had presentedwhat he called “Plan B”while he negotiated withthe White House onavoiding the sweepingtax increases and spend-ing cuts, a combinationknown as the “fiscal cliff.”
But Boehner scrappeda vote on the bill Thurs-
day night after it becameclear that it did not haveenough support in theRepublican-led House tosecure passage.He calledon the White House andthe Democratic-led Sen-ate to work somethingout.
The market’s declinedemonstrated that in-vestors’ nerves are rawas they await a resolu-tion.
“Where we are today,the market would be sat-isfied with the announce-ment of a stopgap
measure,” said QuincyKrosby, a market strate-gist at Prudential Finan-cial. “The more the clockticks, the more the mar-ket is saying, ‘Just giveus something.’”
Sal Arnuk, a partnerat Themis Trading, sug-gested that the sharpdrop in stocks mighthave been an overreac-tion. The Dow was downas much as 189 points,and before the marketopened, stock futuressuggested a decline of200 points or more.
The most-used pieceof playground equip-ment in the city of Sid-ney’s park system is themodular unit atCustenborder Field.The budget cuts thatSidney City Council in-stituted as a result ofthe economic downturnwould have forced re-moval of the modularplay unit for safety rea-sons.
“The unit that we re-cently removed was 17years old. Replacementparts were no longeravailable and like anyoutdoor structure, partswear out when heavilyused,” Sidney Parksand Recreation DirectorDuane Gaier said. “Forsafety reasons, wewould have had to re-move the unit and sim-ply not replace it.”
Then-City ManagerSteve Stilwell andMayor Mike Barhorsttogether discussed theirconcerns with the re-moval of the play equip-ment and the inabilityto fund replacementequipment.
“After our conversa-tion, we determinedthat we would preparea grant and present itto Emerson ClimateTechnologies,” Barhorststated. “Emerson hasbeen a tremendous cor-porate partner not onlywith the city of Sidney,but with the entirecommunity. After Emer-son executives dis-cussed the projectinternally, funding for
the equipment was ap-proved.”
At the end of the sum-mer park season, the oldplay equipment was re-moved, and the metalparts sold for scrap. Thenew modular equipmentwas installed by person-nel from the Depart-ment of Parks andRecreation, ready foruse when the weathermoderates and childrenreturn to the parks.
“The grant fromEmerson Climate Tech-nologies helped ustremendously,” Gaiersaid. “It allowed us toreplace equipment thatotherwise would havesimply disappearedfrom our park system.”
“In addition, the
equipment purchasedby Emerson ClimateTechnologies doubledthe size of the modularunit that was previ-ously in place,” Gaiersaid. “We were also ableto replace the fence, notonly improving therecreational opportuni-ties for younger parkvisitors but greatly en-hancing the appearanceof the park as well.”
“I am grateful forEmerson’s tremendouscommunity spirit,”Barhorst stated. “FromWilson Memorial Hos-pital to the YMCA toRaise the Roof for theArts and so many othergood causes, Emersonepitomizes good corpo-rate citizenship.”

TOLEDO (AP) —Ohio is joining 32 otherstates that requirehealth insurance plansto cover therapy andtreatment for childrenwith autism.The change comes as
the number of childrendiagnosed with autismcontinues to grow andafter unsuccessful at-tempts to increase helpfor families in Ohio.Gov. John Kasich
pushed for the plan an-nounced Friday afterstate lawmakers weren’t
able to agree on a simi-lar proposal over the lastmonths.“We’re doing the right
thing,” said Kasich, whosaid mandating the cov-erage is a lifeline for par-ents.Parents will be able to
get coverage beginningin 2014 through healthinsurance sold in the pri-vate market and in theupcoming federal healthinsurance exchangealong with the state em-ployee health insuranceplan, state health offi-cials said.While the require-
ment will extend intoprivate coverage, self-in-sured and large groupinsurers are not in-cluded, officials said.Most private carriers
currently don’t offer cov-erage for children withautism, said John Mar-tin, director of Ohio’s De-partment ofDevelopmental Disabili-ties.Insurers will be forced
to pay for assessments,treatment plans, speechand occupational ther-apy and treatmentaimed at improving com-munication and socialskills.The number of visits
and hours will be limitedto keep costs down sothat health care costsdon’t spike.That was a concern of
business groups.The Ohio Chamber of
Commerce said Fridaythat Kasich’s decisionwill increase health carecosts for small busi-nesses.“Their options for con-
trolling these costs arelimited, and today’s deci-sion jeopardizes thehealth benefits manyfamilies count on,” saidKeith Lake, a lobbyistfor the chamber.Health experts say
that one out of 88 chil-dren has autism, whichusually shows up inearly childhood. It re-stricts a person’s ability
to communicate and in-teract with others. Thereis no cure for autism, butearly treatment canmake a big difference.“With early interven-
tion, kids with autism dobetter at school, find em-ployment, and becomemore independent, con-nected adults,” Kasichsaid in a statement.Several states, includ-
ing Michigan, have ap-proved changesmandating autism cov-erage within the pastyear.Advocacy groups and
health organizationswere thrilled that Ohiohas joined the otherstates.“Thousands of Ohio
children will have accessto services to help themlearn, and keep or im-prove skills and func-tional abilities that theymay not be otherwise de-veloping,” said JohnStacy, executive directorof the Autism Society ofOhio.

COLUMBUS (AP) —After Kansas knockedoff Ohio State last sea-son in the nationalsemifinals, Buckeyesguard Lenzelle SmithJr. didn’t have the heartto even watch the cham-pionship game.As this season has
progressed, Smith hasgrown more and moreexcited by the loomingspecter of a home re-match with the Jay-hawks.“I’ve kind of been
waiting for this gameever since our schedulegot released in the sum-mer,” he said abouttoday’s game pitting No.9 Kansas against sev-enth-ranked Ohio State.These are not the
same teams from a yearago, when Kansas beatOhio State twice. But thatdoesn’t mean there still won’tbe a little edge to the game.What would you expect withthe teams’ recent history?“I’m sure they have some
hard feelings toward us and itis going to be a really toughenvironment,” Kansas bigman Jeff Withey said of thecontest at Ohio State’s ValueCity Arena. “We haven’t reallybeen on the road yet so we’llsee how the new guys react tothat. But we are definitelylooking forward to it.”The 13th-ranked Jayhawks
won the regular-seasonmatchup at Allen Fieldhousealmost a year ago, taking ad-vantage of All-America for-ward Jared Sullinger’sabsence (bad back) in a 78-67victory over No. 2 Ohio State.Then they squared off in
New Orleans in the FinalFour, with the Buckeyes lead-ing most of the game and by13 points before witheringdown the stretch to fall 64-62.“If you look at the games
last year, we didn’t play themvery well at all, but theyguarded us. And they didn’t
play great, but weguarded them,”Kansas coach BillSelf said. “The dif-ference for us was inthe second half wewere able to getsome 3-on-2s andsome 2-on-1s andwas able to make sixor eight easy bas-kets and score easypoints that we didn’thave to go againsthalf-court defense.”The game figures
to be a grade cardfor each team.“Kansas right
now is playing at alevel as high as any-body in college bas-ketball,” Ohio Statecoach Thad Mattasaid. “They startfour seniors. It’slike, wow. Their
leading scorer is a redshirtfreshman. So they’re a very,very experienced, seasonedteam. From the standpoint ofthe caliber of the team thatthey are, obviously you’regoing to hopefully learn quitea bit about your team as youget ready to head into Janu-ary, February and March.”Comparisons to last year
are frivolous, since the twobest players on the floor arenow in the NBA. Kansas’Thomas Robinson had 19points and eight rebounds inthe Final Four and now plays
for pay for the SacramentoKings.Sullinger had 11 points and
11 rebounds but had threeshots blocked by Withey inNew Orleans. Currently withthe Boston Celtics, Sullingerwas surrounded by defendersafter teammate DeshaunThomas got into foul troublein the semifinal.Thomas, who pondered
skipping out of his final twoyears to join them in the pros,is averaging 20.4 points and 7rebounds a game. The 6-foot-7junior never met a shot hewouldn’t take — and make —which makes guarding him thebiggest task for the Jayhawks.“If you’re a natural scorer
like he is and averaging over20 a game you’ve got thegreen light to shoot some goodcontested shots and he is goodat making them,” Self said.“He is a shotmaker. He is aprofessional scorer at ourlevel and last year we didn’tstop him.”Thomas had 19 points and
kept Ohio State in it before araucous crowd in Lawrence,Kan., a year ago.The Jayhawks (9-1) have
benefited from a comfortableschedule so far. They’ve had sixhome games in addition tothree games before friendlyfaces in Kansas City. Theironly loss came in their loneforay far from home, a 67-64defeat to Michigan State in At-lanta.

PIQUA — Sidneyoutscored Piqua by 11 in thefinal period and won by thatmargin for their first victoryof the season Friday, 88-77 inhigh school boys basketballaction.When it was over, the Jack-
ets had exploded for 54 pointsin the second half to pull outthe victory.“That was fun,” said Sidney
head coach Greg Snyder afterthe win, which put the Jack-ets at 1-6 on the year headinginto a game at Tipp City Fri-day. “We beat a good teamtonight.”Sidney started off well,
bolting to a 23-13 lead afterone quarter. Eric Beigel hadthree three-pointers in the pe-riod.But by the half, the Indians
had come all the way backand led 35-34.Piqua then forged a 53-48
lead late in the third quarterafter buckets by Ryan Hughesand Xavier Harrison. Butwhen Tyree Manley went the
length of the floor for a bucketto close the third quarter, thescore was deadlocked.The Jackets then outscored
the Indians 19-8 in the first3:31 of the final period, withManley and Lorenzo Tabornhitting three-pointers in therun. Snyder heaped praise on
Manley, who poured in 30points despite being the focusof Piqua’s defense.“Tyree was unbelievable,”
said Snyder. “Especially con-sidering they were paying somuch attention to him. Hedidn’t get frustrated at all.He’s grown so much as aplayer and a person.”
But he had help, Snydersaid. “Eric Beigel was phenome-
nal,” he said. “He was hittinghis shots. And Connor Echolsalso deserves a shoutout. Wewere settling for the outsideshot more than I wanted to,but it was a part of our gameplan. But we needed to takethe ball to the hole and Con-nor was able to do that.“And Lorenzo Taborn hit a
huge three-pointer to cap arun that gave us a 12-pointlead,” he added.Sidney finished with four
players in double figures. Inaddition to Manley’s 30,Beigel finished with 20,Echols had 13 and Taborn 11.The Jackets were beaten
up in their first five gamesagainst some of the bestteams in and around Dayton.And Snyder thinks his squadlearned from it.“I think what our kids
learned in those first fivegames was how to handle ad-versity,” he said. “At the be-
ginning of last year, we reallystruggled with that. We didn’talways respond the best.Tonight we had a good lead inthe first half, but ran into foultrouble and lost it. Then Piquacame out and really took it tous in the first three minutes ofthe second half. But we re-sponded well.”Manley added eight re-

CLEVELAND (AP) ‚Äî RoyHibbert scored 18 points andLance Stephenson added aseason-high 16 to lead the In-diana Pacers to a 99-89 winover the Cleveland Cavaliers,who lost their sixth straightgame Friday night.Hibbert didn’t have to deal
with injured Cavs center An-derson Varejao, the NBA’sleading rebounder. Varejaomissed his second game in arow with a bruised right knee.David West added 15 points
and 10 rebounds and GeraldGreen had 14 points — with aferocious dunk — as the Pac-ers won for the fifth time insix games.Kyrie Irving scored 17
points on just 5-of-16 shootingfor the Cavs, who are 1-11 intheir last 12 games. TristanThompson had 12 points and13 rebounds for Cleveland, 3-
21 in its past 24.With Varejao on the bench
in street clothes, the Pacersenjoyed a size advantage in-side and they outreboundedthe Cavaliers 44-35. Hibbertspent the last 5 minutes onthe bench after picking up hisfifth foul, but by then Indianaled by double digits androlled to a relatively easywin.Stephenson went 7 of 8
from the floor and addedseven assists.With the Pacers leading by
nine early in the fourth quar-ter, Green, the league’s slamdunk champion in 2007, deliv-ered a jam certain to makehighlight reels for the nextfew days. Driving the left side,he soared in the lane andhammered the ball in overCleveland’s SamardoSamuels, who could do noth-
ing to stop it.Green stared at Samuels
and was given a technicalfoul, but the damage wasdone.Indiana’s Paul George,
scoreless at halftime, hadeight points and four steals inthe third quarter, when thePacers outscored the Cava-liers 33-22 to take a 10-pointlead into the fourth.During an 18-5 run by the
Pacers, George stole a lazypass by rookie Tyler Zeller,drove for a layup and wasfouled. He missed his freethrow, but George poked theball away from an unsuspect-ing Zeller and threw down atwo-handed dunk to give thePacers a 69-55 lead.Cavs coach Byron Scott de-
cided to rest Varejao for thesecond straight game ratherthan risk losing him for sev-
eral more.The 6-foot-11 Brazilian will
also probably sit out Satur-day’s game in Milwaukee, giv-ing him additional time toheal before the Cavs playagain on Dec. 26. Varejao, whois averaging 14.4 reboundsand playing at an All-Starlevel, bruised his knee onTuesday night againstToronto.Irving had a puzzling first
half and a disappointinggame.He scored just five points
on 1-of-4 shooting and hadfour turnovers by halftime.On one of them, he drove thelane and badly overthrew the7-foot Zeller but then showedsome outward disappoint-ment toward his teammate,who would have needed astep ladder to catch Irving’spass.

— NFL CommissionerRoger Goodell wants theleague to consider ex-panding the playoffs.Consider the Pitts-
burgh Steelers andCincinnati Bengals a lit-mus test.The official postsea-
son doesn’t start for an-other two weeks, but theAFC North rivals aregetting an early start onSunday in whatamounts to an elimina-tion game. The Steelers(7-7) need two wins toplay into January whilethe Bengals (8-6) need atleast one more victory toassure themselves a raresecond straight playoffberth.Cincinnati hasn’t
made consecutive post-season appearancessince 1981-82, or beforeall but five players onthe current roster wereeven born.“We can’t control the
past,” wide receiver A.J.Green said.Maybe, but the Ben-
gals control the present.They’ve won five out ofsix — the only loss com-ing on a last-second fieldgoal loss to Dallas — andcan still capture the AFCNorth title with victoriesover the Steelers andRavens and a little help.Heady territory for a
franchise that has spentmost of the last two
decades serving as botha national punching bagfor its two main rivals,though the Bengals aredownplaying the chanceto make a statementagainst teams consid-ered part of the NFL’selite.“It’s not as much
about Pittsburgh as it isabout us,” left tackle An-drew Whitworth said.“We’ve got an opportu-nity to go to the play-offs.”Amazingly, the Steel-
ers do too, despite theirsecond-worst stretch incoach Mike Tomlin’s six
years on the job. Pitts-burgh has dropped fourof five, including bafflinglosses to Cleveland andSan Diego. QuarterbackBen Roethlisberger hasbeen nursing a sprainedshoulder and the nag-ging perception he andoffensive coordinatorTodd Haley won’t be ex-changing Christmascards.Roethlisberger vented
about the direction of theoffense after a 27-24overtime loss to Dallaslast weekend, though hebacktracked a few dayslater and Tomlin in-
sisted his franchise cor-nerstone and his fierycoordinator are on thesame page.Maybe, but the latest
dust-up offered anotherchapter in an increas-ingly long series of melo-dramas that haveevaporated the sense ofoptimism following a 24-20 victory over the NewYork Giants on Nov. 4that appeared to cementthe notion the Steelerswere back after a slowstart.Wide receiver Mike
Wallace, in the midst of acontract season, wasbooed lustily after poorplay against the Charg-ers, a loss running backRashard Mendenhalldidn’t even bother toshow up for after beingmade inactive. Tomlinsuspended Mendenhall agame for conduct detri-mental to the team,though the mercurialback hardly seemed re-morseful upon his returnthis week.Throw in the ongoing
saga of Roethlisbergerand Haley and it’s nowonder things appearworse than they actuallyare in a place known forstability and sustainedsuccess.“I don’t know what it
is this year or whatwe’ve done to make peo-ple feel like everythingwe’ve done isn’t football
mistakes, it’s off the fieldmistakes when that’s notthe case,” Wallace said.“We feel like everybodyis locked in.”The Steelers don’t re-
ally have a choice if theywant to salvage theirseason. Pittsburgh haswon five straight overCincinnati ‚Äî includinga 24-17 win on Oct. 21‚Äî and 10 of the last 12meetings dating back to2006. While cautioningthey’re not taking thingsfor granted, playing andwinning meaningfulgames in December isnothing new for theSteelers. Cincinnati, notso much.“I think that a lot of
the guys in this lockerroom have ‘been therebefore’ and understandthis is a playoff game forus,” Roethlisberger said.“It does help us.”Pittsburgh may need
some help fending off ateam that appears to belearning on the fly. TheBengals appeared out ofit at the midway point,dropping to 3-5 after get-ting whipped by theBroncos on Nov. 11.Instead of folding,
however, Cincinnati hasflourished behind a de-fense that leads theleague in sacks and anew attitude in thelocker room that the sta-tus quo that’s dogged thefranchise for decades —
pockets of success sur-rounded by years of in-eptitude — is no longeracceptable.Coach Marvin Lewis
challenged his youngteam to take responsibil-ity for its actions, andthe Bengals respondedby not just winninggames, but dominatingthem. Cincinnati’s lastfive wins have come byan average of 18 points.“If we wanted to get to
where we’re at right now,we had to change somethings,” quarterbackAndy Dalton said. “Sowe’ve played a lot bettersince then because wehad to play a lot better.”Something the Steel-
ers haven’t done much oflately. Save for a re-markable 23-20 victoryin Baltimore threeweeks ago behindbackup quarterbackCharlie Batch, Pitts-burgh has been surpris-ingly dull the last sixweeks, and the Steelersknow time is runningout.Then again, wasn’t it
just last year the Giantswere 7-7 and flounderingto make the playoffs?Less than two monthslater, they were SuperBowl champions.“We’re upset with it

When Gabby Douglasallowed herself to dreamof being the Olympicchampion, she imaginedhaving a nice little din-ner with family andfriends to celebrate.Maybe she’d make anappearance here andthere.“I didn’t think it was
going to be crazy,” Dou-glas said, laughing. “Ilove it. But I realized myperspective was going tohave to change.”Just a bit.The teenager has be-
come a worldwide starsince winning theOlympic all-around titlein London, the firstAfrican-American gym-nast to claim gymnastics’biggest prize. And nowshe has earned another
honor. Douglas was se-lected The AssociatedPress’ female athlete ofthe year, edging outswimmerMissy Franklinin a vote by U.S. editorsand news directors thatwas announced Friday.“I didn’t realize how
much of an impact Imade,” said Douglas,who turns 17 on Dec. 31.
“My mom and everyonesaid, ‘You really won’tknow the full impactuntil you’re 30 or 40years old.’ But it’s start-ing to sink in.”In a year filled with
standout performancesby female athletes, thoseof the pint-sized gymnastshined brightest. Dou-glas received 48 of 157votes, seven more thanFranklin, who won fourgold medals and a bronzein London. SerenaWilliams, who wonWim-bledon and the U.S. Opentwo years after her ca-reer was nearly derailedby a series of healthproblems, was third (24).Britney Griner, who
led Baylor to a 40-0 recordand the NCAA title, andskier Lindsey Vonn eachgot 18 votes. SprinterAllyson Felix, who wonthree gold medals in Lon-
don, and Carli Lloyd,whoscored both U.S. goals intheAmericans’ 2-1 victoryover Japan in the gold-medal game, also receivedvotes.“One of the few years
the women’s (Athlete ofthe Year) choices aremore compelling thanthe men’s,” said JulieJag, sports editor of theSanta Cruz Sentinel.Douglas is the fourth
gymnast to win one ofthe AP’s annual awards,which began in 1931,and first since Mary LouRetton in 1984. She alsofinished 15th in votingfor the AP sports story ofthe year.Though her busy
schedule hasn’t left timeto train, Douglas insistsshe still intends to com-pete through the Rio deJaneiro Olympics in2016.

COLUMBUS — After the non-native emerald ash borer (EAB) wasdiscovered at some Ohio StateParks in western Ohio, the Ohio De-partment of Natural Resources’(ODNR) Division of Forestry andOhio State Parks formed a partner-ship to remove the affected ashtrees.
“The Division of Forestry bringsa level of expertise to this projectthat allows these infested trees tobe removed safely, quickly and in acost-effective way from these stateparks,” said ODNR Deputy DirectorGlen Cobb. “While it is disappoint-ing to lose the ash trees, their re-moval is necessary to protect thesafety of our visitors, which is ourbiggest priority.”
According to Gregg Maxfield,ODNR northern district forest man-ager, approximately 700-800 ashtrees will be removed from GrandLake St. Marys State Park, IndianLake State Park and Lake LoramieState Park.
The ODNR Division of Forestrystarted working on removing treesfrom Indian Lake State Park onDec. 11 before starting at Grand
Lake St. Marys State Park. Accord-ing to Maxfield, the tree removal atGrand Lake St. Marys and Lake Lo-ramie will be completed, weather-permitting, by the end of this week.He anticipates removal of the treesfrom the three state parks will befinished by early January.
The leftover wood from the treesis free to any individual at each ofthe three state parks in designatedareas from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. sevendays a week. All interested individ-uals should contact the park officesfor more information. It is recom-mended that firewood from the ashtrees be burned locally by April.
The park managers for the threestate parks are encouraging peopleto participate in the Adopt-a-Treeprogram or donate a tree to replacethe ash trees that will be removed.People interested in adopting a tree,giving a financial gift or donating atree may contact the individualpark offices for more information.

COLUMBUS — If you are one of the millions ofAmericans pledging to lose weight in theNewYear, inaddition to tracking your carb and calories, you maywant to keep a close eye on sodium as well.
Sometimes you can detect its taste, and sometimesyou can’t. Salt can sneak into meals from foods likebread, soda, chicken breast, salad dressing and soup.
Researchers have linked high salt intake to fluidaccumulation and high blood pressure, prompting theAmerican Heart Association to update their dietaryguidelines. People with high blood pressure or at riskfor hypertension should eat less than 1,500milligramsof sodium a day, equal to approximately a half-tea-spoon.
“The solution is simply to eat smarter,” said Dr.MarthaGulati, director of preventative cardiology andwomen’s cardiovascular health atTheOhio StateUni-versityWexnerMedical Center. “A diet low in salt, notonly reduces your risk of developing high blood pres-sure, but also could reduce the risk of a heart attack inthe future.”
TheWexnerMedical Center is leading by example,where Gulati led the movement to remove salt fromcafe tables. She hopes removing salt shakers will be-come second nature for people to eliminate this un-healthy addition from their meals.
“Removing salt shakers from our cafes reminds pa-tients, visitors and staff thatwe are here to keep themhealthy and prevention is key,” said JimWarner, pro-gram director of nutrition services,who helpedGulatitake away salt shakers from the Season’s Cafés, thehospital’s multi-location restaurant brand.
Most of salt in diet comesfrom hidden sources

DR. WALLACE:I’m 14 and live alonewith my mother. Idon’t know who myfather is. Mom hasnever been married.The fact that mymom never marriedmy father meansthat I am illegiti-mate. This bothersme immensely. I loveand respect my mom,and she has been awonderful parent,but I don’t know if I can everforgive her for not having myfather marry her. Mom was-n’t a starry-eyed teenagerwhen she had me. She was31! Sometimes I becomeangry over being illegitimateand other times it doesn’tbother me. Today, I’m angry.
—Nameless, Cum-berland, Md.
NAMELESS: For-get about being “ille-gitimate”! All infantsborn into our worldare, indeed, legiti-mate. The Good Lordloves and protectsthem all. There couldbe many good rea-sons why yourmother and fatherdecided not to getmarried, and some-
day, when you are older yourmother may tell you. It couldbe that you are fortunate thatmarriage didn’t happen. Inthe meantime, you have awonderful mother, one whomyou love and respect. Enjoyeach other’s love, start set-ting goals for your future, do
well in school, and you will bewell on your way to an enjoy-able life — forever!
DR. WALLACE: Myboyfriend and I got into aspat three days ago, and wehaven’t communicated since.It all started over somethingvery stupid, and it got out ofcontrol. To be perfectly hon-est, I don’t even know whostarted the squabble.
I miss my boyfriend, but Idon’t want to say, “I’m sorry,”because I’m afraid he’ll takeadvantage of me. But, even-tually, I will contact him if Idon’t hear from him first.How long should I wait? —Mindy, Orlando, Fla.
MINDY: Wait 10 minutes,and if he doesn’t contact youwithin that time, call or email
and tell him you miss himand that you’re sorry for yourpart in the fight. If yourboyfriend had asked me thatquestion, I would have givenhim the same advice. There’snothing more foolish thanstubbornly refusing to apolo-gize.
It doesn’t matter who apol-ogizes first.What’s importantis the rekindling of a wonder-ful relationship. As you note,people maintain their angerat each other even whenthey’ve forgotten whatthey’re angry about. Grudgesover nothing at all have beenknown to last for years. It’shard to imagine a biggerwaste of energy.
DR. WALLACE: I’m a 17-year-old girl, and I’m very
concerned about the qualityof movies currently beingproduced. I’m no prude and Iwelcome films that shake upthe social consciousness, butI strongly protest films thatdeal with gutter sex, violenceand unbelievable horror andterror.
I’m only a teenager, but I’dlike to go on record sayingthat I protest junky, trashyand horrifying movies! —Vanessa, Baltimore, Md.
VANESSA: I agree. Thebest form of protest is eco-nomic boycott. Hit themoviemakers in the wallet!As long as they make moneyserving up trash, they willcontinue the same menu. Re-fuse to attend offensive filmsand encourage your friends tojoin you in your protest.

Time to find balance in long-distance relationship
DEAR DRS.D O N O H U EAND ROACH: Ihave been withmy husband for33 years, and forthe past six Ihave been suspi-cious of himbeing unfaithful.I went to the doc-tor and tested negativefor HIV, but I was posi-tive for herpes 1 andherpes 2. My husbandclaims I could have hadthis since before we metand says that he is com-pletely innocent. Do youthink I could have hadthis for 30 years and notknown it? It seemsrather unrealistic to me.— D.F.
ANSWER: Herpesviruses are a group ofcommon viruses thatshare several traits, oneof which is that they allstay dormant in the bodyand may cause recur-rences in times of stress.Herpes simplex 1 causesan outbreak of coldsores: These often come
out when peopleare ill orstressed. Herpessimplex 2 usu-ally causes geni-tal lesions.About20 percent ofadults in the U.S.are positive forHSV-2; many oreven most of
them don’t know theyhave it. Once you ac-quire HSV-2, it stays inyour body forever, andmay (or may not) causerecurrent disease, whichmost commonly lookslike a clear, fluid-filledblister. These are veryinfectious, but it is possi-ble to transmit the viruseven when there are nosymptoms.It is possible that you
acquired the condition30 or more years ago.The test isn’t able to tellhow long you’ve had it.
DEAR DRS. DONO-HUE AND ROACH: Ihave high blood pressureand have been on med-ication for about 10years.My blood pressure
is under control, but mydoctor sometimes tellsme it’s on the high side.I live in an area withvery hard water, and Ihave a water softenerthat I constantly putbags of salt into. I drinkeight glasses of water aday. Could this salt be af-fecting my blood pres-sure? A workmanrecommended a waterpurifier. With how muchwater I drink, should Iconsider this? If so, anyrecommendations? —S.B.
ANSWER: A little re-search showed me thathardness in watermeans high amounts ofminerals, especially cal-cium and magnesium. Atraditional water sof-tener uses table salt toexchange sodium for thecalcium and magnesium.The harder the water,the more sodium will beadded. An average 8-ounce glass of softenedwater has about 70 mil-ligrams of sodium, butvery hard water can add
200 mg of sodium. Sincewe recommend no morethan 2,400 mg of sodiuma day, it’s possible thatyou could be gettingmore than half of yourdaily recommendedsodium from drinkingwater.Some people with
high blood pressure arevery sensitive to salt. Iusually recommend atrial of low sodium in-take to see if it helpsbring blood pressuredown, and it seems thatyour blood pressure issometimes borderline.You might try drinkingno-sodium bottled waterfor a week to see if thatbrings down your bloodpressure, but you shouldtake your blood pres-sure every day beforeand after switching tosee if it really makes adifference. If you decideto try removing saltfrom your home drink-ing water, the Pelicanbrand seems to be awell-regarded homewater purifier.
DEAR ABBY:My boyfriend andI are in a long-distance relation-ship and agreedto split our visits50-50 betweenour cities. Ini-tially, it workedgreat. Unfortu-nately, his workschedule haschanged, and forthe past year hehas come here to visitme only once everymonth or so, while I fre-quently drive for hoursto see him.He says that because
he’s away from home forwork, it’s only fair that Itravel to see him sinceit’s “less trouble” for me.I understand that heputs in a lot of time withtravel for work, but at
what point doesthe ratio becomeunbalanced andunfair?I miss week-
ends in my citywith my friends,and it makes mesad that he won’tmake the effortto see me. Whatdo you think isright in this mat-ter? — UNCER-
TAIN IN SANFRANCISCO
DEAR UNCER-TAIN: “What’s right” isthe original agreementyou had with yourboyfriend, or somethingclose to it. Because he isno longer willing to liveup to his part in the bar-gain, consider seeinghim less often.Perhaps if he has a
chance to miss you, hewill feel impelled tomake more of an effort.And if he’s not, then youwon’t have to cut offyour social relation-ships at home — rela-tionships you may needif this romance doesn’twork out the way youwould like.
DEAR ABBY: Mywife of 32 years hasdelusional jealousy. It isso bad that she haschecked my genitals andquestioned the neigh-bors’ wives. I havestayed in this marriageonly because of our chil-dren, who are nowadults.I am at a crisis point
where I want a divorce. Idetest throwing 32 yearsaway, but I have no lovefor this woman.We have
sought counseling threetimes. However, once Istart describing herdelusions, the sessionsquickly stop. — WANTSOUT IN COLORADO
DEAR WANTSOUT: Nowhere in yourletter could I discern aquestion, but from myvantage point, I disagreethat you would “throw32 years away.”You usedthat time to make sureyour children weregrown and independent.I’m sorry about your
wife’s delusions, but be-cause she is unwilling tofollow through withcounseling, there isnothing you or I can doabout them. If you wantmy permission to endthis marriage, I can’tgrant it; only you can dothat for yourself.
Drifting snow will con-tinue to cause problems, es-pecially areasnorth andeast ofD a y t o nthat sawh e a v i e rs n o w .The stormgets fare n o u g haway from us over the week-end where the winds diedown a bit, but the cold airsticks around.
A low pressure system sliding down the West Coast continues pushing a cold front onshore. This will create more heavy rain showers with heavy snow anticipated in the Sierra Nevadas and Cascades, moving into the Northern Rockies and Great Basin.
