The governor wants to sell five prisons to private companies, a move opposed by three groups holding panel discussions around the state. One such meeting will take place at 7 p.m. Tuesday in the civic cen- ter’s West Room. It’s open to the public. The Ohio Civil Service Employee Association, Policy Matters Ohio and the American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio will each be represented. Van Wert native Mike Brickner is director of com- munication and public policy for the state branch of the ACLU. He questions handing over a vital operation to orga- nizations that approach the matter with profit in mind. “The goal of public prisons is to contain people who have broken the law and ensure they don’t commit future crimes. The private prison companies’ only real interest is in expanding their prof- its as much as possible. So, they want to keep those pris- on beds as full as possible. According to the requests for proposals sent out by the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction, the prisons to be privatized can’t go under 90 percent capacity,” he said. Kasich’s pointman in the debate is the prison system’s communications chief, Carlo LoParo. He said the capacity expectation is based on Ohio prison population statistics. “Ohio’s corrections sys- tem is currently at 132 per- cent capacity. The private facilities will be guaranteed at least 90 percent capacity in their first two-year contract. However, if the inmate popu- lation decreases, the contracts will be adjusted down to reflect the decrease,” he said. LoParo stresses there is no cause to worry. He says the state already has two pri- vately-operated prisons and part of the sale proposal is something of a consolidation and expansion because two of the state prisons to be sold are near the other facilities, which would also be sold. LoParo explains: “By law, Ohio has to main- tain two private facilities. We have private prisons in Ashtabula County and Lorain County. The state owns the property and land but con- tracts with private vendors to operate the facilities. We’re going to sell those two, as well as two state facilities; one in Marion County and one in Grafton by the private facility in Lorain County,” he said. “We’ll package them into three units. In Marion, we’ll take an empty juvenile facil- ity and combine it with the North Central Correctional Institution (in Marion) as one overall facility with two buildings under one manage- ment. We’ll do the same thing in Lorain County with the private facility and the state facility at Grafton; bid by a vendor and both run by one management team. These facilities were picked because they’re right next to each other.” However, there are several questions which remain in Brickner’s mind. He believes prison reform is needed, including rethinking locking away non-violent offenders who some may say the public doesn’t need protected from. Ohio ranks levels of violence and corresponding prison security levels numerically between one and four. The “They (state prisoners) should be in rehabilita- tion but we’re entrusting them to companies who want prisons as full as possible — it’s the fox guard- ing the henhouse.” — Mike Brickner, Ohio ACLU Dena Martz photos  52 receive diplomas at Ottoville Ottoville High School officials passed out 52 diplomas on Sunday.

Police were stopped at 2 p.m. by a subject in ref- erence to an incident that had occurred in the area of Stadium Park. Officers were advised that while the juvenile victims were fishing in the Tenth Street area of the canal, a male subject drove up by them and opened the driver’s door of the vehicle. The children said when they looked back at the subject, they observed he was not wearing any clothing from the waist down. The children said once they saw him, the subject left the area. At 3:24 p.m., police were called to the 500 block of South Franklin Street in refer- ence to a similar incident at Waterworks Park. The complainant advised that while at the park, they observed a male subject drive into the park and park his vehicle. A short time later when the victim looked over at the subject again, the male subject had opened the driv- er’s door to the vehicle and had exposed his genital area. The subject had left the area prior to officers being called and arriving in the area.

Don’t think of himas gone away -

his journey’s just begun,life holds so many facets,this earth was only one...

Just think of him as resting  from the sorrows and the tears,

in a place of warmth and comfort where there are no days and years.

Tink how he must be wishing that we could know today 

how nothing but our sadness can really pass away.

 And think of him as living in the hearts of those he touched...

 for nothing loved is ever lost -and he was loved so much.

In loving memory,Mom, Dad, Deb, Family & Friends

COLUMBUS (AP) —Ohio is asking federal regula-tors to reduce or waive mil-

lions of dollars in penaltiesthe state faces because notenough residents who collectwelfare meet federal require-ments to be working or pursu-ing employment.

The work-participation rateis 23 percent, meaning lessthan a quarter of Ohio adultscollecting welfare meet therequirements, The ColumbusDispatch reported Sunday.The newspaper said that rateis the lowest since 1997, whenstrict work guidelines for wel-fare recipients were imposed.

Ohio has been hit with$136 million in penalties byfederal regulators because it

did not meet the work-par-ticipation benchmark of 42percent in the past four years.That doesn’t include a penaltyfor 2010, which has not beenassessed. The money wouldbe deducted from the annual$727 million the state getsto pay for Temporary Aidto Needy Families and help

counties administer the wel-fare program.

Federal regulators told the

newspaper they are consideringthe state’s request for a reduc-tion or waiver of the penalties.

Ohio, California andMaine are the only states thathave missed the work-partic-ipation mark three years ina row, according to the U.S.Department of health andHuman Services. Benefits aresupposed to be suspended if welfare recipients don’t meetthe work requirements.

More than half of Ohio’swelfare recipients met therequirements from 1999 to2006, but job and welfareofficials say pressures fromthe recession left them few

options but to ignore theregulations as unemploymentincreased.

“The economy has not beengood, and there haven’t beenmany opportunities, especial-ly for people with barriers toemployment,” said BenjaminJohnson, a spokesman for theOhio Department of Job and

Family Services.Social services workers

say job scarcity and fund-

ing cuts for programs thatserve the poor have made ittougher to help welfare recipi-ents amid rising caseloads.More than 107,000 familiesare on Ohio’s welfare rolls, anincrease of 30 percent in thepast three years.

“People can come on thesystem and go off withoutgetting any assistance find-ing a job or stabilizing theirlives,” said Joel Potts, execu-tive director of the Ohio Joband Family Services DirectorsAssociation.

Some county officials saywith so many cases to handle,cutting benefits hasn’t been a

priority.But the problem is gettingrenewed attention because of the federal penalties. Stateofficials said 2,750 out of about 66,000 adult welfarerecipients lost benefits inApril because they didn’t ful-fill the work or other require-ments.

CINCINNATI (AP) —One of the Cincinnati ArtMuseum’s most famous works,Vincent van Gogh’s 1890masterpiece “Undergrowthwith Two Figures” appears tomost visitors to be a beautiful,well-preserved, post-Impres-sionist painting.

After 121 years, the broad,vigorous brushstrokes of 

green, yellow and white onthe forest floor and the impos-ing gray-blue tree trunks stillpop from the canvas, provid-ing a stark contrast to thetwo shadowy figures walkingthrough them.

The painting is a visitorfavorite, voted the No. 1 pieceof art in the Museum’s 60,000-piece collection in its 2006People’s Art Poll. While themuseum does not release thevalues of works in its collec-tion, van Goghs have fetchedtens of millions of dollars atauction.

But most visitors don’t seewhat the museum’s chief con-servator, Per Knutas, sees in

this van Gogh, one of thegreat artist’s last masterpiec-es: extensive damage done bywell-intended conservationefforts in the mid-1970s.

But now, they can.Knutas himself is on view

in the Cincinnati Wing of the Museum as he carefullyrestores the painting to length-en its lifespan and prepare itfor loan to the PhiladelphiaMuseum of Art next year.

The Cincinnati Art Museumhas displayed conservationwork before. But this is thefirst time that, at Knutas’ sug-gestion, the museum has con-nected the powerful micro-

scope he uses — the samekind that’s used for surgicalprocedures — to a 42-inch flatscreen TV hanging on the wallbehind him. Visitors can seethe painstaking conservationwork like never before.

Lawmakers might allow guns in stadiums, barsCOLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio

lawmakers are consideringallowing people to have con-cealed firearms in bars, sportsstadiums and other venuesthat serve alcohol, though it’snot clear if Gov. John Kasich

would sign such legislation.Supportive lawmakers sayby passing the measure, Ohiowould be joining dozens of states that have varying rulesto let people take firearms intofacilities that offer alcohol,The Plain Dealer in Clevelandreported Sunday.

But the proposal on con-cealed weapons in Ohio ismore wide-reaching than suchmeasures in most other states,said Brian Malte, director of state legislation for the BradyCampaign to Prevent GunViolence in Washington.

“What Ohio wants to dois totally different from whatwe’re seeing elsewhere,” partly

because sports stadiums wouldbe included, Malte told thenewspaper.

Under the proposal, a per-son couldn’t legally carryinga concealed weapon and bedrinking or already drunk.

Proponents say it wouldgive people with concealedcarry permits a last-resort

option to defend themselvesif they faced violence in a baror restaurant by an illegal gunuser. They also say restaurants,stadiums and other facilitiesstill would have the optionof posting their own bans onweapons.

“Saying that we are tryingto authorize guns in bars is acomplete misrepresentation,”said Jeff Garvas of Ohioans forConcealed Carry. “We didn’tgo out and write a bill to saywe need a bill that allows us to

have a gun in bars. The wholepurpose is to go to a restaurantwhich just happens to servealcohol and not have to leavemy gun in the car.”

Opponents argue the pro-posal is unnecessary and couldcreate safety threats.

WASHINGTON (AP) —Workers who don’t trust theboss to keep track of theirwages can now do it themselveswith a new smartphone appli-cation from the Department of Labor. But employers worrythat the time sheet app, alongwith other new initiatives,could encourage even morewage and hour lawsuits.

The app, called DOL-Timesheet, lets workers calcu-late regular work hours, break

time and overtime pay to cre-ate their own wage records.Department officials say theinformation could prove valu-able in a dispute over pay orduring a government inves-tigation when an employerhas failed to keep accuraterecords.

“This app will help empow-er workers to understandand stand up for their rightswhen employers have deniedtheir hard-earned pay,” LaborSecretary Hilda Solis said.

The app is the latest exam-ple of the Obama administra-tion’s push for more aggressiveenforcement of wage and hour

laws. The agency has hiredabout 300 more investigatorsto probe complaints of unpaidwork time, lack of overtimepay and minimum wage viola-tions.

Last year, the agency begana “Bridge to Justice” programthat, for the first time, helpsconnect aggrieved workerswith private lawyers if thedepartment’s Wage and HourDivision is too busy to handlea complaint.

As a result, legal expertssay, wage and hour compli-ance has become a leadingconcern for employers as thenew policies help drive up liti-gation over unpaid wages, also

known as wage theft.“The government is focus-

ing on it like never before,”said Gerald Maatman, anemployer-side labor lawyerbased in Chicago. “I think themantra is kind of, ‘All enforce-ment, all the time, 24/7.”’

Workers brought a recordnumber of wage and hour suitsagainst employers last year,according to an analysis of court filings by Maatman’sfirm, Seyfarth Shaw. Nearly6,800 such suits were filed in2010, about 700 more than theprevious year. Most were col-lective or class actions.

“The concern is that the

Department of Labor is put-ting a lot more attention intothis area and employers, at thesame time, are putting morehours, more money and morework into auditing and com-plying with wage and hourlaws,” Maatman said. “It’sturning into somewhat of afull-time job.”

The stepped up enforce-ment is a change from the Bushadministration, when some crit-ics accused President GeorgeW. Bush’s labor secretary,Elaine Chao, of favoring busi-nesses and weakening job safetyand enforcement efforts.

While employers are notsurprised about increased

enforcement, they have ques-tioned some tactics, such as aprogram that gives workers atoll-free number to contact anattorney referral service run bythe American Bar Association.

The Wage and HourDivision gets more than 35,000calls a year for help and doesn’thave the resources to deal withevery claim. For those it can’thelp, it now refers them to thetoll-free hot line, where theycan be referred to a lawyerwho specializes in wage andhour disputes.

WASHINGTON — Someof the states that have drainedtheir unemployment insurancefunds are cutting the numberof weeks that a laid-off work-er can count on those benefits.Legislators are trying to limittax increases for businessesto replenish the pool and arehoping the federal govern-ment keeps stepping in whenthe economy slumps.

Michigan, Missouri andArkansas recently reducedthe maximum number of weeks that the jobless can getstate unemployment benefits.Florida is on the verge of doing so. Unemployment inthose states ranges from 7.8percent in Arkansas to 11.1percent in Florida.

The benefit cuts comeas legislatures deal with thedamage that the recessioninflicted on state unemploy-ment insurance programs. Thesharp increase in the num-ber of people who lost their  jobs drained the reservoir of money dedicated to payingout benefits.

About 30 states borrowed

more than $44 billion fromthe federal government tocontinue payments to laid-off 

workers. Many states has-tened the insolvency of theirfunds by keeping balances athistorically low levels goinginto the downturn.

The burden of replenish-ing the funds and paying off the loans will fall primarilyon businesses through highertaxes, but the benefit cutsare an effort to limit the taxincreases.

States usually provide upto 26 weeks of benefits tolaid-off workers. Michiganand Missouri have cut thatto a maximum 20 weeks.Arkansas went to 25.

Florida is considering a morecomplex change that wouldlink the duration of benefits tothe strength of the economy.The cap would range from 23weeks during periods of dou-ble-digit unemployment to aslow as 12 weeks during periodsof extremely low unemploy-ment. The Florida Legislatureapproved the changes, but thegovernor hasn’t signed the bill.

Once state benefits areexhausted, laid-off workersoften are eligible for 13 weeksto 20 weeks of extended ben-efits. States and the federalgovernment usually split the

cost for that program. Duringrecessions, Congress typi-cally takes the aid a step fur-

ther, providing several moremonths of emergency benefitsentirely paid for by the federalgovernment.

The actions taken by leg-islatures apply specifically tostate benefits, but also willreduce future federal benefitsbecause the changes affectthe formula used to calculatethem.

Benefits vary from stateto state, but average about$300 a week, or about one-third of a recipient’s previouswages.

In good economic times,most of the unemployed finda new job before their ben-efits expire. But in times of high unemployment, stateshave come to count on extrahelp from the federal govern-ment. Some say that relianceis playing a role in the bills tocap benefits.

Employers pay both stateand federal taxes for unem-ployment insurance. Statescollect the taxes that pay forbasic benefits. The federaltaxes help pay for administer-ing the program and provid-ing the federal government’sshare of extended benefits.State tax collections will have

increased about 44 percentsince 2009, according to theDepartment of Labor.

WASHINGTON —President Barack Obamadefended his endorsementof Israel’s 1967 boundar-ies as the basis for a futurePalestine, telling America’spro-Israel lobby Sunday thathis views reflected longstand-ing U.S. policy that needed tobe stated clearly.

He also said the Jewishstate will face growing isola-tion without “a credible peaceprocess.”

Obama tried to alleviateconcerns that his administra-tion was veering in a pro-Palestinian direction, placinghis Mideast policy speechThursday in the context of Israel’s security. He toldthe American Israel PublicAffairs Committee that thoseborder lines must be subjectto negotiated land swaps andsaid these principles reflect-ed U.S. thinking dating toPresident Bill Clinton’s medi-ation efforts.

“If there’s a controversy,

then it’s not based in sub-stance,” Obama said in awell-received speech. “WhatI did on Thursday was tosay publicly what has longbeen acknowledged private-ly. I have done so becausewe cannot afford to waitanother decade, or anothertwo decades, or another threedecades, to achieve peace.”

The event was eagerlyanticipated after Obama out-

lined his vision for the chang-ing Middle East at the StateDepartment on Thursdayand then clashed in a WhiteHouse meeting with IsraeliPrime Minister BenjaminNetanyahu a day later.

The speech came aheadof a weeklong trip for thepresident to Europe, wherehe’ll tend to old friends inthe Western alliance and lookto secure their help with thepolitical upheaval across theArab world and the decade-long conflict in Afghanistan.

Netanyahu said in a state-ment after Obama’s remarksthat he supported the presi-dent’s desire to advance peaceand resolved to work withhim to find ways to renew thenegotiations. “Peace is a vitalneed for us all,” Netanyahusaid.

The Israeli leader’s tonewas far more reserved thanlast week, when he issued animpassioned rejection of the1967 borders as “indefensible”and even appeared to publiclyadmonish Obama after theirWhite House meeting.

Netanyahu was to addressthe pro-Israel lobby tonightand Congress on Tuesday.

Obama didn’t retreat fromhis remarks on what it wouldtake to reach a two-statesolution between Israelis andPalestinians. Repeating alarge section of his Thursdayspeech, he said the result mustcome through negotiation,and said Israeli border secu-rity and protections from acts

of terrorism must be ensured.An Israeli withdrawal fromterritory should be followedby Palestinians’ responsibil-ity for security in a nonmili-tarized state.

“By definition, it meansthat the parties themselves —Israelis and Palestinians —will negotiate a border thatis different than the one thatexisted on June 4, 1967,”Obama said. That was beforeIsrael seized the West Bank,Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem,and a half-million Israelis set-tled on war-won lands.

“It is a well-known for-mula to all who have workedon this issue for a genera-tion,” the president said. “Itallows the parties themselvesto account for the changesthat have taken place over thelast 44 years, including thenew demographic realities onthe ground and the needs of both sides.”

Obama’s emphasis on whatis meant by “mutually agreedland swaps” reflected a partof the equation Netanyahulargely disregarded when he

vociferously rejected the 1967borders as a basis for peace.Palestinians have expressed

willingness to let Israel annexsome of the largest settlementsclosest to the demarcation, aslong as they are compensatedwith Israeli land equal in sizeand quality. In the last seriousnegotiations in 2008, the sidessplit over how much WestBank land Israel would keepin the trade.

WASHINGTON —Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels  joined the march of would-be GOP presidential hopefulsoffstage Sunday in a dead-of-night decision that put hissupporters and donors in playas Republicans compete in awide-open race for the chanceto challenge President BarackObama in 2012.

Just hours after Danielsbowed out, former MinnesotaGov. Tim Pawlenty declared“I’m running for presi-dent of the United States”in an Internet video thatsought to position the laid-back Midwesterner as toughenough to take on Obama.

Over the past few weeks,the field for the GOP presi-dential nomination has quicklybecome clearer even thoughthe race seems more uncertain,with polls showing Republicanprimary voters craving moreoptions as the GOP establish-ment hungers for a fresh face.

At this point, formerMassachusetts Gov. MittRomney, who lost the GOPnomination in 2008, is seekinga second chance in a RepublicanParty that usually nominates thenext guy in line. And several

others are looking to emerge ashis main challenger.

Among them: Pawlenty, aconservative who governed a

Democratic-leaning state; for-mer Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman,who recently resigned as U.S.ambassador to China underObama and is all but cer-tain to enter the race; andformer House Speaker NewtGingrich, whose campaigngot off to a rocky start overthe past few weeks.

With voting set to begin ineight months, several ques-tion marks remain — perhapsthe biggest being whether for-mer Alaska Gov. Sarah Palinwill enter the race.

Also unanswered: whetherestablishment Republicans,including some in the Bush

family circle who had urgedDaniels to run, will ultimatelybe successful at courting afiscal conservative with thestature to challenge Obamainto the race or whether itwill rally behind a candidatealready in the mix.

Influential GOP donorswho courted Daniels have triedto entice former Florida Gov.Jeb Bush, son and brother of former presidents, and NewJersey Gov. Chris Christieinto the contest. There’s alsobeen talk of Wisconsin Rep.

Paul Ryan, the House BudgetCommittee chairman whosebudget blueprint for the elec-tion year deeply cuts govern-ment spending.

But Bush and Christieinsist they are not seeking thenomination. And Ryan wavedoff any suggestion that he wasinterested in joining the 2012contest, saying on NBC’s“Meet the Press” that “younever know what opportuni-ties present themselves waydown the road. I’m not talk-ing about right now.”

Another name being men-tioned ever more frequentlyin GOP circles in Washingtonis Texas Gov. Rick Perry,though he’s repeatedly denied2012 presidential aspirations.

Daniels’ supporters don’t

seem in a rush to rally behindsomeone else.John Hammond, one of

By JIM METCALFE [email protected]

MINSTER — The St.John’s boys track and fieldteam finished second tolong-time Midwest AthleticConference nemesis Minsterat Saturday’s Division IIIdistrict meet at Minster’s

Memorial Field.To borrow from head

coach Dr. Jay DeWitt, it wasalso a great day to run a meetas the weather finally smiledupon the competitors.

“I didn’t expect us to dothis well; it’s the best we’veever finished in my years ascoach,” DeWitt noted. “Wehad a lot of good performanc-es and almost all of our pointscame in the sprints and relays.We had a couple of doubles— like Joe (Haggard) and AJ(Klausing) going off first andthird in the 300-meter hur-dles. Hopefully, we can carrythis momentum into next

week at the Troy Regionals(starting Wednesday).”The leading Blue Jay was

senior sprinter, who wonboth the 100- and 200-metersprints, as well as anchor-ing the victorious 400 relay(along with Chris Will,Tyler Jettinghoff and AJKlausing).

“The relay was prettytough; we have to get our

handoffs down even betteras we go on,” Burgei said.“This will be my third yeardown at regionals — I wasan alternate as a freshman inthe relay. The 200 actuallyhas helped me in the 100 andthe relay, for endurance andstamina.”

Haggard also clinched

titles in three events: the 110high hurdles and the 300 lowhurdles, as well as anchoringthe winning 800 relay (Will,Jettinghoff and Klausing).

“I’ve been running the110s my whole high schoolcareer. Coach put me in the300s a couple of weeks ago,”he explained. “I ran a goodtime and he has kept me inthere. My brother has helpedme a lot in both events; it washis school records I broke.I’m not sure why the 300shave come so easily for me; Iguess it has to be natural.”

Klausing, also a senior,will join him in the 300 inter-

mediate hurdles as he fin-ished third.Also finishing third was

the 4x400-meter relay (soph-omore Mark Boggs, seniorScott Klausing, sophomoreJake Hays and junior ChrisWill), joining the third-place4x8 (Boggs, Klausing, Haysand Dylan Dancer) thatclinched Thursday.

Ottoville finished third in

the girls race, led by seniorstalwart Shayla Siefker, vic-torious in the 1,600-meterrace; and freshman TaylorMangas, winning the 300-meter low hurdles.

“The weather was defi-nitely different today that ithas been all spring. I actuallydon’t mind colder weather

but this is fine,” Siefkernoted. “I’ve just been try-ing to enjoy my senior yearand enjoy every race. CoachVaughn (Horstman) pre-pares us very well, betweenspeed work and endurancework. He always tells us noone beats us down the backstretch at the end.”

Mangas has a simple for-mula she goes by.

“Sprint hard and attack thehurdles,” she explained. “Theweather today was so muchbetter than it has been; youcan warm up better, especial-ly for sprinting and hurdling.It’s a lot easier to just go all

out instead of being afraid tohurt something.”Sophomore Abby Siefker

will join them at regionalsafter her fourth-place fin-ish in the 800-meter run, aswell as the 4x4 (Mangas andseniors Natasha Kaufman,Kari Beining and ShaylaSiefker) after they ended upfourth.

They join junior LaurenKramer and sophomoreTammy Wannemacher afterthey went 1-2 in the shot putThursday.

The Lady Blue Jays fin-ished fourth as a team, withsenior Gabrielle Metzner tak-ing the title in the 100-meter

intermediate hurdles.“I know I haven’t run the

perfect race yet, either. Thatis what I am shooting for,”she noted. “Even today, Ipulled up at the end so I cantell myself I can get faster.The competition was the bestthis year and I know it willbe even better next week. Iknow I can still improve andI will have to to keep going.”

Also clinching a region-al berth Saturday wassenior pole-vaulter AliciaAnkerman, finishing third.

That duo will join the seniorTiffanys come Wednesday:

Recker, who won the districttitle in the discus Thursdayand grabbed fourth in theshot put; and Geise, who wonthe title in the high jump.

The Crestview girls andboys ended up fifth.

Moving on (top 4 in eacheven move on to regionals)for the Lady Knights were:

Courtney Perrott, second in800 run: the runner-up 4x4relay (Ami Callow, CourtneyPerrott, Erika Frey, LayneCallow); Frey, third in the100 hurdles and fourth inthe 300s; the 4x800 relay(Layne Callow, Janelle May,Elizabeth Saylor and CourtneyPerrott), third; and the fourth-finishing 4x200 relay (GraceCallow, Frey, Layne Callowand Ami Callow).

For the boys, the 4x1relay (Tyler Torrey, ShawnClouatre, Nick Cunninghamand Logan Rayer) took sec-ond, Shawn Clouatre third inthe pole vault and Rob Cook

fourth in the long jump.The Jefferson girls clockedin an eighth-place finish,while the boys were 10th,tied with Ottoville.

Senior Bridget Culpearned three berths in theregionals, winning the 100-meter dash and anchoring themeet recording-setting 4x200(junior Kennedy Boggs,freshman Brooke Teman andMorgan Fischbach) and the4x100 relay (Boggs, sopho-more Chelsey Bishop andFischbach).

However, Culp fell shortof her dream of advancing tofour events in the regionals(and state) by false-starting in

the 200-meter dash.“That was my goal: to get

to state in four events. I wasoveranxious and I knew whenthe gun went off again afterthe start that I was the onethat caused it,” Culp admit-ted. “I was so determined;now that I am out of the 200,I will be even more focusedon the other three events.Kennedy and Morgan havebeen with me for three yearsnow but for the other twogirls: Chelsey and Brooke;to step in for (senior) Emily(Fought) is amazing.”

The St. John’s boys track team finished as runners-up to Minster at Saturday’s district meet. Some members of theteam are front row, left to right, Jake Hays, Jared Knebel, Chris Will, Scott Klausing and Aaron Hellman; and back, assistant coaches Jack DeWitt and Dan Hermiller, Rob Ruda, Evan Burgei, Mark Boggs, Jason Michel, Joe Haggard, Cole Fischbach and head coach Dr. Jay DeWitt.

In 1923, Johnny Weissmuller became the first swimmerto break five minutes for 440 yards. Weissmuller finishedin 4:57, improving on his own world record of 5:08 by 11seconds.

(Continued from Page 6)Even as they set the record

in the 800 relay, Fischbachwas thinking about her injuredteammate.

“It would be nice to gether back next week but if not,we’ve been doing pretty wellwith the group we have,” sheadded. “We just get along sowell and we have for years. Itdoesn’t matter the sport; weare just hanging out togetheron and off the court or track.That is why we click so well.”

The Jefferson boys will havetwo relays: the 4x1 (freshmanZavier Buzard, sophomoreNick Gallmeier and seniorsKody Richardson and MitchellAntalis) that finished third andthe 4x2 (senior Josh Albridge,Gallmeier, freshman TylerMox and Antalis) that wasfourth, as well as Gallmeier inthe 200 dash (third) and sopho-more Cody Biglow in both the110 and 300 hurdles (fourthin both).

Ottoville’s Travis Eickholtgrabbed the high jump title.

“It was a nice day to jump;you could really get loose and

  jump well,” Eickholt said. “Ifinished second last year atstate at 6-7 and I know I haveto keep improving in my tech-

niques and stuff. I tried for 6-6today and couldn’t get it but Ihope that I can get that in thenext week or two.”

Greg Rue ended up third inthe same event, thus becominga 3-event regional performerafter his second in the discus andfourth in the shot put Thursday.The Fort Jennings girls endedup 10th, with the boys at 13th.

Rihanna and Taylor Swiftwere two of the key win-ners at the Billboard MusicAwards, which returnedafter a five-year hiatuswith a major dose of starpower, featuring Beyonce,U2, the Black Eyed Peas —even First Lady MichelleObama.

Like many other awardsshows, the three-hourBillboard Awards servedmore as a promotional vehi-cle for today’s top pop starsthan a trophy presentation.The show was packed withperformances — a piano-levitating Cee Lo Green, ascantily clad Rihanna on“S&M” joined by BritneySpears, a much-bleeped Lil

Wayne with Mary J. Blige,and Neil Diamond leadingthe audience in a sing-a-long to “Sweet Caroline”and “America.”

Among Rihanna’s winswere for radio artist of theyear and top female artist.

Swift won the evening’sfirst award, as top albumartist, behind the multimil-lion sales for “Speak Now.”She also won top countryartist.

“The impact of an albumis all determined by thefans,” she told the audiencewhen she picked up herfirst. “You’ve just given meanother reason to be com-pletely in love with you.”

Other award winnersincluded Justin Bieber,Lady Antbellum and theBlack Eyed Peas.

Beyonce received a spe-

cial “Millennium” Awardfor her career achievements:The 29-year-old phenome-non was lauded in a videoby an array of legends andluminaries, including StevieWonder, Barbara Streisand,Bono, Lady Gaga andMichelle Obama.

“This is a moment Ihave to soak in because it’sgonna be — and it is —one of the best momentsof my life,” said Beyonceafter getting the award fromher mother, Tina Knowles.Beyonce also performed hernew song, “Run the World(Girls).”

U2 was also honoredfor their blockbuster “360”tour as the top touring actof 2010, while Diamondreceived Billboard’ “Icon”award.

“I would have settled for

a top 10 record,” he quipped.“I don’t know what it meansexactly to be an icon. I’vealways wanted to be oneand I guess now I am.”

This year marks theBillboard Awards’ rebirth.The Billboard Awards hadbeen a staple since 1989,but gave out what appearedto be its last award in 2006.This year, the show wasbrought back.

It was held in Las Vegas,

The Billboard MusicAwards are given out tomusic’s most popular art-

HoroscopeBy Bernice Bede Osol

Living withmom isstrained

Dear Annie: I have alwaysbeen a generous person. Ihave allowed my brother,niece, nephew and nowmother-in-law to live withme on a temporary basis inorder to get their lives togeth-er. This hasn’t been easy,and I have tried to deal withthem in the calmest possibleway, but somehowthey always resentit when I ask whattheir future plansare.

My 72-year-oldmother-in-law cur-rently lives with usand, for the mostpart, keeps to her-

self in her room.My wife and Iagreed to let hermove in becauseher other daugh-ters kept taking advantageof her and using her smallapartment for themselves.We thought it would be agood temporary change. Wenever expected her to stayhere for the rest of her life.

Mom does annoyingthings that drive the rest of us completely insane. I tellher, politely, but it continues.I want to tell her to move out,but I feel extremely guilty.My wife agrees that Mom’s

presence is creating prob-lems, but she, too, is reluctantto ask her to leave. Mom’sretirement income is suffi-cient to afford her own place.She also has two sisters shevisits on the weekends whohave offered to let her movein. How do we break thenews without looking like thebad guys? -- In-Law Crazyin California

Dear California: WhenMom moved in, did you tellher it was temporary andgive her a time limit, or didyou just assume she wouldknow? If you don’t makethese things crystal clear atthe outset, there are bound

to be surprises and hurt feel-ings. There’s no pleasant wayto tell someone they haveoverstayed their welcome.Your wife should talk to hermother. Mom might be hap-pier and have a more activesocial life if she lived in acommunity of her peers. Youboth can offer to go withMom to look at some seniorcommunities or check out theservices near her sisters.

Dear Annie: My husbandhas a 32-year-old daughterfrom a previous marriage.She lives nearby, but onlyvisits when I invite her fam-ily for dinner. I make sure toserve foods I know they all

enjoy.In the 10 years that we’ve

been married, she has invitedus to dinner at her home threetimes. Each time, she servedonly dishes that containtomatoes, which she knows Iam allergic to.

My husband does not thinkshe is being inconsiderate. Hesays if she invites us again, Ishould bring my own food.I think I should stay homeand eat. My husband thinksthis would be rude. I thinkshe acts like she was raisedby wolves. Is this accept-able behavior nowadays?

-- Hungry andOld Fashioned inBaton Rouge, La.

Dear Hungry: If your stepdaughter isdeliberately makingfoods you cannoteat, it is both rudeand inconsiderate.However, it is in

your best intereststo get along withher, so we recom-mend you ignorethis. Take your hus-

band’s advice and bring yourown food. Say as sweetly asyou can, “I have allergies andsometimes cannot eat whatothers prepare.”

Dear Annie: I had toreply to “Annoyed,” who hasa shy 12-year-old niece. Ihave a 12-year-old daughterwith learning disabilities. Itwas particularly hard for herto talk on the phone. Nothaving the benefit of seeingthe person for visual clues

was just too stressful for her.After three years of workwith a therapist and special edteachers, she was finally ableto carry on a phone conversa-tion with trusted people.

My daughter has come along way. But she avoidsthose who are as insensitiveand pushy as “Annoyed.”And I certainly wouldn’tforce her to change her behav-ior to accommodate them. --Mother of a Terrific “Shy”Daughter

Tuesday, May 24, 2011

Because there is likely to be a largearray of opportunities presented to youin the next year, you may not be ableto take advantage of all of them. Thiswill necessitate you making choicesand being very wise about doing so.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

-- View things realistically insteadof trying to prove to everyone thatconditions are better than they a ppear.Being objective will save you a lot of trouble.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- If your curiosity gets totally out of hand=, you will be construed as nosy, notconcerned. There are certain thingspeople want to keep to themselves, sodon’t push it.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Limityour shopping to essential items thatyou can’t do without. If this is not agood time to be lavish and /or go intodebt, place a lid on your spending.You’ll suffer later if you don’t.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) --Forgo wasting your time joustingwith windmills or chasing waterfalls.It behooves you to make a list of meaningful goals and focus onachieving them. Don’t let fun andgames throw you off-course.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Becareful with whom you match tall

tales. You could end up looking andfeeling rather foolish if you attemptto go up against someone who isexperienced at telling whoppers andspinning yarns.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- It’s a mistake to depend on backuppeople when it comes to businessmatters, especially if what they door don’t do influences whether or notyou finish in the black.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec.21) -- If you’re not careful, you couldinadvertently let someone who doesnot have your best interests at heartstep in and call the shots. They aren’tlikely to be in your favor.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)-- It’s never a good idea to criticizesomeone who isn’t present to defendhim or herself. You can take bets thatwhat you say will be repeated in afar more disparaging way than youintended.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)-- Unless you are extremely careful

about handling your resources, itcould have a far more deleteriouseffect on your affairs than you everconsidered possible.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20)-- No one will be inspired to followyour lead unless you first set a verygood example. Attempting to demandpeople do as you say will only makethem more defiant.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)-- It’s not the norm for you, yetsome negative thinking could takeprecedence over your more positivethoughts. Don’t let self-doubts distortwhat’s at hand.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)-- Be careful not to take a situationthat you’re managing for another toolightly, especially if there is moneyinvolved. Strive to live up to the faithsomeone has placed in you.

Most American’s aren’t buying what gov’t is sellingWASHINGTON (AP) — They’re not buy-

ing it. Most Americans say they don’t believeMedicare has to be cut to balance the federalbudget, and ditto for Social Security, a newpoll shows.

The Associated Press-GfK poll suggeststhat arguments for overhauling the massivebenefit programs to pare government debthave failed to sway the public. The debate isunlikely to be resolved before next year’s elec-

tions for president and Congress.Americans worry about the future of the

retirement safety net, the poll found, and 3out of 5 say the two programs are vital to theirbasic financial security as they age. That helpsexplain why the Republican Medicare privati-zation plan flopped, and why President BarackObama’s Medicare cuts to finance his healthcare law contributed to Democrats losing con-trol of the House in last year’s elections.

Medicare seems to be turning into the newthird rail of politics.

“I’m pretty confident Medicare will be there,because there would be a rebellion among vot-ers,” said Nicholas Read, 67, a retired teacherwho lives near Buffalo, N.Y. “Republicansonly got a hint of that this year. They gotburned. They touched the hot stove.”

Combined, Social Security and Medicare

account for about a third of government spend-ing, a share that will only grow. Economicexperts say the cost of retirement programsfor an aging society is the most serious budgetproblem facing the nation. The trustees whooversee Social Security and Medicare recently

warned the programs are “not sustainable”over the long run under current financing.

Nearly every solution for Social Security ispolitically toxic, because the choices involvecutting benefits or raising taxes. Medicare iseven harder to fix because the cost of modernmedicine is going up faster than the overallcost of living, outpacing economic growth aswell as tax revenues.

“Medicare is an incredibly complex area,”

said former Sen. Judd Gregg, R-N.H., whoused to chair the Budget Committee. “It’s amatrix that is almost incomprehensible. UnlikeSocial Security, which has four or five movingparts, Medicare has hundreds of thousands.There is no single approach to Medicare,whereas with Social Security everyone knowswhere the problem is.”

That’s not what the public sees, however.“It’s more a matter of bungling, and lack of 

oversight, and waste and fraud, and padding of the bureaucracy,” said Carolyn Rodgers, wholives near Memphis, Tenn., and is still workingas a legal assistant at 74. “There is no reasonwhy even Medicare, if it had been handledright, couldn’t have been solvent.”

In the poll, 54 percent said it’s possible tobalance the budget without cutting spendingfor Medicare, and 59 percent said the same

about Social Security.Taking both programs together, 48 percent

said the government could balance the budgetwithout cutting either one. Democrats andpolitical independents were far more likelythan Republicans to say that neither program

will have to be cut.The recession cost millions their jobs and

sent retirement savings accounts into a nose-dive. It may also have underscored the valueof government programs. Social Security keptsending monthly benefits to 55 million recipi-ents, like clockwork; Medicare went on pay-ing for everything from wheelchairs to heartoperations.

Overall, 70 percent in the poll said Social

Security is “extremely” or “very” importantto their financial security in retirement, and72 percent said so for Medicare. Sixty-twopercent said that both programs are extremelyor very important.

The sentiment was a lot stronger amongthe elderly. Eighty-four percent of those 65or older said both programs are central totheir financial security. Compare that to adultsunder 30, just starting out. Just under half,or 46 percent, said they believed both SocialSecurity and Medicare would be extremelyor very important to their financial security inretirement.

Old, middle-aged or just entering the work-force, most people are keenly aware of the costof health care, and that may be helping to focusmore attention on Medicare.

“Health insurance these days is very costly,

and it’s not something that most people canafford to go out and buy on their own,” saidTim Messner, 38, a technology quality assur-ance analyst from Barberton, Ohio. “I don’tknow that we could possibly plan ahead formedical insurance, but if you had to replace

Social Security or investments, you at leasthave an idea of what you can live on.”

Numbers tell the story. As health care goesup, the value of Medicare benefits is catch-ing up to Social Security’s. A two-earnercouple with average wages retiring in 1980would have expected to receive health careworth $132,000 through Medicare over theirremaining lifetimes, and $446,000, or aboutthree times more, in Social Security pay-

ments.For a similar couple who retired last year,

the Medicare benefit will be worth $343,000,compared to Social Security payments total-ing $539,000, less than twice as much. Thenumbers, from economists at the nonparti-san Urban Institute, are adjusted for inflationto allow direct comparison. For low-incomesingle retirees and some couples, the value of expected Medicare benefits already exceedsthat of Social Security.

The poll found a deep current of pessi-mism about the future of Social Security andMedicare. As much as Americans say theprograms are indispensable, only 35 percentsay it’s extremely or very likely that SocialSecurity will be there to pay benefits throughtheir entire retirement. For Medicare, it was 36percent.

Again, there’s a sharp difference betweenwhat the public believes and what experts say.Most experts say the programs will be there forgenerations to come. But they may look verydifferent than they do today, and Americansshould take note.
