program using aerial drones to target terrorists amounted 1 to "executions without trial." On another thorny topic, Clinton slightly softened her blunt charge of a day earlier that Pakistani officials know where al-Qaida terrorists are hiding and are doing little about it. Clinton faced sharp questions from Pakistani civilians about the U.S. effort that uses unmanned aircraft to launch missiles to kill terrorists along the porous, ungoverned border with Afghanistan. But she refused to go into detail about the classified strikes that have killed both key terror leaders and bystanders, long a source of outrage among Pakistan's population despite an equally deadly campaign of militantspawned bombings. Asked repeatedly about the drones, a subject that involves highly classified CIA operations, Clinton said only that "there is a war going on." She added that the Obama administration is committed to helping Pakistan defeat the insurgents.

Filipinos flee fourth typhoon MANILA, Philippines The fourth typhoon to lash the Philippines in a month brought pounding rain and winds to the eastern coast early Saturday as it barreled toward Manila along the same path as an earlier storm that left the capital still partially submerged. Thousands were evacuated from their homes in the eastern province of Quezon, where Typhoon Mirinae made landfall after midnight, as rains threatened to unleash mudslides. In Manila, residents hunkered down in their homes as rains beat down on dark, deserted streets. The typhoon was expected to pass south of the sprawling city of 12 million later Saturday morning with winds of 93 mph and gusts of up to 115 mph, said chief government forecaster Nathaniel Cruz. Nine missing after crash over sea SAN DIEGO Investigators were trying Friday to determine why a Coast Guard airplane on a nighttime search for a missing boater collided with one of four Marine Corps helicopters flying in formation to deliver troops to a training exercise on a military island off Southern California.

The collision occurred minutes after civilian air traffic controllers told the Coast Guard C-130 pilot to begin communicating with military controllers, Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Ian Gregor said. All seven people aboard the C-130 and the two-person crew of the Marine Corps AH1W Super Cobra helicopter remained missing as a search of a 644-square-mile area focused on a debris field about 50 miles off the San Diego coast.

The Associated Press DISCOVER THE AUDIT BUREAU OF CIRCULATIONS NOVUS Gasoline cost climbing as holidays near NEWYORK (AP) -Americans are paying more for gasoline than they did last year as the holidays approached billions of dollars that could go to books, clothes and Barbie dolls instead being spent at the Gas averaged nearly $2.70 a gallon Friday, the highest of the year adding bad news to an already fragile economy and making it even less likely that people will spend their way out of the recession. From last November to January, the average price was $1.86.

Even if prices average $2.50 per gallon during the same period this year, Americans will pay an extra $26.6 billion for gas, said Tom Kloza, chief oil analyst at Oil Price Information Service. Americans didn't have much going for them financially in late 2008, but they did have this: Gas prices plunged by 93 cents per galIon between Oct. 30 and the end of the year. It was like a generous energy tax break, just in time for the holidays. Thanks mostly to the weak dollar, that's no longer the case.

And when a gallon of gas runs from $2.50 to $3, people begin to notice, energy experts say. People make a "clear emotional connection" between the price of gas and how much they spend on other things, said Wendy Liebmann, who monitors shopping habits through her company WSL Strategic Retail. "It nibbles out of our paycheck, and there's nothing we can do about it," Liebmann said. "We've got to get the kids to school. We've got to get to work if we're lucky enough to have a job." As gas prices soared from 2006 to 2008, people became increasingly tightfisted, a survey by WSL found.

When gas peaked above $4 a gallon in July 2008, more than twothirds said they had cut back on other spending so they could still use their cars. Prices today are a far cry from the peak. Crude oil, which neared $150 per barrel last year, is trading at about $80 now. But drivers are feeling the pain nonetheless. Anything more than $3 a gallon "is high for me," said Rene Contreras, 24, as he filled his Chevrolet Monte Carlo at a Chevron gas station in Los Angeles that was charging $3.17 a gallon.

Contreras added only a half tank before rumbling off. "I might give lower-income gifts because of the gas prices" this Christmas, Contreras said. Gas prices are rising even as Americans drive much less than they did before recession hit, and as the country sits on massive petroleum supplies. A weak dollar is making fuel more expensive. Oil is bought and sold primarily in dollars.

When the dollar falls, investors holding euros, for example, can buy more crude with less. And they have. Since March 2, the value of the dollar has fallen 18 percent against the euro. In that same period, a barrel of oil has doubled in price, to around $80. Pump, prices have gone along for the ride.

Gas prices have risen 17 days in a row, hitting a national average of $2.695 per gallon Friday, according to auto club AAA, Wright Express and Oil Price Information Service. The last time gas cost close to that was June, during the summer driving season. And prices will probably stay high because oil companies have become much more conservative about producing fuel after getting burned by the dramatic fall in energy prices last year. Spending $40 to $50 every time you fill up your tank has a domino effect, said Amy Jaffe a fellow at the James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy at Rice University.

"That's a new pair of jeans. I'm making a decision between filling my tank and buying a new pair of jeans," Jaffe said. "When we get to that point, you can expect that to hurt the economy."

"Dad started giving benefits after my brother, Junior, was diagnosed with a rare illness when he was 7 years old," said Pam Keuscher, Hill's daughter.

"The CB Club held a benefit for his medical expenses. After that, my dad started putting on benefits to help others the way we were helped. He wanted to give back." The benefit will begin at noon at the Crawford County Conservation League, 3477 Ohio 98, and will end at 10 p.m. There will be an auction, door prizes, food and live music from local band Chronic Mojo. Hill's family honored him with trophies this summer for the years he participated in the Crawford and Wyandot fair demolition derbies.

He also was part owner of B.J. and The Crew, the company a that puts on the derbies. "He was in it at both fairs for 32 years, since 1976, so we had trophies made for him," Keuscher said. "We were very proud of him." Hill also was Shriner. "Dad became a member after one of his grandsons was burned and the Shriners helped.

He always wanted to do what he could to help others," she said. "He was all about people helping people." 419-563-9226 Obituaries and 1 photographs submitted to the Bucyrus Telegraph Forum may be published, distributed, repurposed and otherwise used in print, electronic and other media platforms.
