Bacon milkshakes. Chocolatecovered bacon shaped like roses.
Bacon-flavored toothpaste, dental

with a full pound of bacon.
They’re all on the menu this week
as one Atlantic City casino stretches

The festival at the Tropicana Casino

At the age of 81, Pope Pius XI, head of the Roman
Catholic Church, died shortly before dawn this morning. His heart, weakened by a long illness, stopped
beating at 5:31 a.m. The pope died of cardiac asthma.
The Archbishop of Canterbury and head of the Church
of England was one of the prominent Britons to express
publicly his grief over Pope Pius XI today. “He was a
man of wide learning and sincerest, ardent piety who
bore the immense burden of his great office, with unfailing dignity and courage,” the archbishop said. “We
shall always remember his efforts in the cause of peace.”

High pressure is in control over the region giving us sunny skies during the day and also clearing skies at night, which has allowed temperatures to get so cold.
In addition to bringing in frigid temperatures, high pressure has also kept conditions dry. We are keeping our eye on a clipper that will move in late Thursday/
during the overnight into Friday bringing us our next chance for snow showers. A second clipper moves in late Saturday bringing yet another chance for snow. In
addition to snow for the weekend, we will also see a warm up with temperatures in the 30s.
Injuries reported after vehicle roll
By BRITTANY POWELL
STAFF WRITER
Minor injuries were
reported in a rollover accident at 9 a.m. on I-75 in
Botkins.
Driver Sujan Veerareddy, 20, of Campbellsville,
Ky., was traveling at an
unsafe speed for roadway
conditions while northbound on I-75, when he
lost control, veered to the
left side of the road and
rolled his vehicle.
Veerareddy had four
passengers in his vehicle,
none of whom were severely injured. He was
traveling 45 mph in a 70
mph zone, which was
too fast, according to
Sergeant Robison, of the
Ohio State Highway Patrol Piqua Post.
“Just because the speed
limit is 70 mph, that
doesn’t necessarily mean
that’s what you should be
traveling,” Robison said.
“The post limits are for
dry, sunny conditions.”
Robison said drivers need to adjust to the
weather conditions.
“You need to use common sense and drive at
what your able to, and apparently 45 was too fast
for this guy.”
Veerareddy was driving a 2004 Chevrolet
Tracker, which sustained
disabling damage. All of
the windows were broken
out, and the right side of
the vehicle along with the
roof was dented from the
roll.

Is Georgia ready
for the snowstorm
this time?
ATLANTA (AP) —
Just two weeks ago, Atlanta became a national
punch line when a few
inches of snow crippled
the city. Comedians said
the gridlocked highways
looked more like a zombie apocalypse than the
South's bustling business
hub.
On Monday, officials
were quick to act as the
winter weather zeroed in,
determined not be the
butt of jokes like the Saturday Night Live parody
that referred to the “devil's
dandruff ” and “Yankee's
slush.” Before a single
drop of freezing rain or
snow fell, Georgia Gov.
Nathan Deal had declared
a state of emergency for
nearly a third of the state,
schools canceled classes
and workers were staying
home.
Still, people were skeptical the state would be
better prepared this time.
“I'm not counting on
it. I've been in Georgia on
and off for 20 years. It's
usually the same scenario,
not enough preparations
and not enough equipment,” said Terri Herod,
who bought a large bag
of sand and a shovel at a
Home Depot. She said
her sister told her to also
buy kitty litter in case her
car gets stuck on an ice
patch.
The memories of the
last storm were too fresh
for some. Late last month,
students were trapped on
buses or at schools and
thousands of cars were
abandoned along highways as short commutes
turned into odysseys. One
woman gave birth on a
jammed interstate. In the
chaos, though, there were
stories of Southern hospitality — people opening
up homes and businesses
to help the stranded. Officials reported one accident-related death.
This storm could be
worse this time. A onetwo punch of winter
weather was expected
for Atlanta and northern
Georgia. Rain and snow
were forecast Tuesday,
followed by sleet and
freezing rain Wednesday.
Downed power lines and
icy roads were a major
worry. Salt trucks, snow
plows were ready to roll
and the National Guard
has 1,400 four-wheeled
drive vehicles to help anyone stranded.
Other parts of the
South were expected to
get hit as well. Alabama,
which saw stranded vehicles and had 10,000 students spend the night in
schools during the January storm, was likely to
get a wintry mix of precipitation. Parts of Mississippi could see 3 inches of
snow, and a blast of snow
over a wide section of
Kentucky slickened roads
and closed several school
districts. South Carolina,
which hasn't seen a major ice storm in nearly a
decade, could get a quarter to three-quarters of an
inch of ice.
Atlanta has a long and
painful history of being ill-equipped to deal
with snowy weather and
people were not taking
any chances, even though
officials promised the response would be different
this time.
“We're not looking
back, we're looking forward,” Deal said. “The
next three days are going to be challenging. We
want to make sure we are
as prepared as possible.”
Schools
announced
early that they would close
Tuesday, and tractor-trailer drivers were handed fliers about the weather and
a law requiring chains on
tires. City and state government were to stay open
Tuesday, but the governor
called for a liberal-leave
policy, meaning if workers didn't want to come in
they didn't have to. More
than 500 Delta flights
with Atlanta connections
on Tuesday had been
canceled, and passengers
traveling through several
Southeastern states between Tuesday and Thursday were offered a chance
to make free one-time
changes to their itineraries. People around Atlanta
planned to stay off the
roads, which couldn't be
treated last time because
there were too many cars
stuck on them.
“Basically, everyone
from the office is going to
be working from home”
on Tuesday, Dakota Herrera said as he left a downtown car park on his way
to the office Monday.
Deal was doing many
things differently. He
opened an emergency operations center and held
two news conferences
before the storm. When
the Jan. 28 storm hit, Deal
was at an awards luncheon
with Mayor Kasim Reed,
who was named a magazine's 2014 “Georgian of
the Year.”
Reed had just tweeted:
“Atlanta, we are ready for
the snow.”
This time, the mayor
made no such predictions.
Instead, he said he was in
contact with school leaders and the city had 120
pieces of equipment to
spread salt and sand and
plow snow.
Shirley Temple,
iconic child
star, dies at 85
SAN FRANCISCO
(AP) — Shirley Temple,
the dimpled, curly-haired
child star who sang,
danced, sobbed and
grinned her way into the
hearts of Depression-era
moviegoers, has died,
according to publicist
Cheryl Kagan. She was
85.
Temple, known in
private life as Shirley
Temple Black, died
Monday night at about
11 p.m. at her home near
San Francisco. She was
surrounded by family
members and caregivers,
Kagan said.
“We salute her for
a life of remarkable
achievements as an
actor, as a diplomat,
and most importantly
as our beloved mother,
grandmother,
greatgrandmother, and adored
wife for fifty-five years of
the late and much missed
Charles Alden Black,” a
family statement said.
A talented and ultraadorable
entertainer,
Shirley Temple was
America's top box-office
draw from 1935 to 1938,
a record no other child
star has come near. She
beat out such grownups as Clark Gable, Bing
Crosby, Robert Taylor,
Gary Cooper and Joan
Crawford.
In 1999, the American
Film Institute ranking of
the top 50 screen legends
ranked Temple at No. 18
among the 25 actresses.
She appeared in scores
of movies and kept
children singing “On the
Good Ship Lollipop” for
generations.
Temple was credited
with helping save 20th
Century
Fox
from
bankruptcy with films
such as “Curly Top” and
“The Littlest Rebel.” She
even had a drink named
after her, an appropriately
sweet and innocent
cocktail of ginger ale and
grenadine, topped with a
maraschino cherry.
Temple blossomed into
a pretty young woman, but
audiences lost interest,
and she retired from
films at 21. She raised a
family and later became
active in politics and
held several diplomatic
posts in Republican
administrations,
including ambassador to
Czechoslovakia during
the historic collapse of
communism in 1989.
“I have one piece of
advice for those of you
who want to receive the
lifetime
achievement
award. Start early,” she
quipped in 2006 as she
was honored by the
Screen Actors Guild.
But she also said that
evening that her greatest
roles were as wife,
mother and grandmother.
“There's nothing like
real love. Nothing.” Her
husband of more than 50
years, Charles Black, had
died just a few months
earlier.
They lived for many
years in the San Francisco
suburb of Woodside.
Temple's expert singing
and tap dancing in the
1934 feature “Stand Up
and Cheer!” first gained
her wide notice. The
number she performed
with future Oscar winner
James Dunn, “Baby Take
a Bow,” became the title
of one of her first starring
features later that year.
Also in 1934, she
starred in “Little Miss
Marker,” a comedydrama based on a story
by Damon Runyon that
showcased her acting
talent. In “Bright Eyes,”
Temple introduced “On
the Good Ship Lollipop”
and did battle with a
charmingly bratty Jane
Withers,
launching
Withers as a major child
star, too.
She
was
“just
absolutely
marvelous,
greatest in the world,”
director Allan Dwan
told
filmmaker-author
Peter Bogdanovich in his
book “Who the Devil
Made It: Conversations
With Legendary Film
Directors.” ''With Shirley,
you'd just tell her once
and she'd remember the
rest of her life,” said Dwan,
who directed “Heidi” and
“Rebecca of Sunnybrook
Farm.” ''Whatever it was
she was supposed to do —
she'd do it. ... And if one of
the actors got stuck, she'd
tell him what his line was
— she knew it better than
he did.”
Temple's
mother,
Gertrude, worked to keep
her daughter from being
spoiled by fame and was a
constant presence during
filming.
Her daughter said years
later that her mother
had been furious when a
director once sent her off
on an errand and then got
the child to cry for a scene
by frightening her. “She
never again left me alone
on a set,” she said.
Temple became a
nationwide
sensation.
Mothers dressed their
little girls like her, and a
line of dolls was launched
that are now highly
sought-after collectables.
Her immense popularity
prompted
President
Franklin D. Roosevelt
to say that “as long as
our country has Shirley
Temple, we will be all
right.”
“When the spirit of
the people is lower than
at any other time during
this Depression, it is a
splendid thing that for just
15 cents, an American can
go to a movie and look at
the smiling face of a baby
and forget his troubles,”
Roosevelt said.
She followed up in
the next few years with a
string of hit films, most
with sentimental themes
and musical subplots.

DETROIT (AP) — New General Motors CEO Mary Barra will
get a pay package worth $14.4
million this year, 58 percent
more than her male predecessor,
the company said Monday.
GM released the figure to
counter reports that said Barra,
the first woman to lead a major
automaker, would be paid less
than former Chairman and CEO
Dan Akerson.
Those reports calculated
Barra’s compensation without
including her long-term stock
compensation, and the company was criticized for paying a
woman leader less than a man.
Barra will get $1.6 million
in salary, $2.8 million in shortterm incentives and long-term
stock compensation worth $10
million, the company said in
a statement. The long-term
amount is part of a new incentive plan that still has to be
voted on by shareholders in
June.

In our view ...
Simple
outreach
M
y ninth grandchild was Christened on Sunday. We understand it was slightly overdue
according to the rules, but bad weather, a
severe cold and my move stirred things up
a bit.
But this is not about Christenings, but
discovery.
The event was held at St. John the
Baptist Church in Landeck, but it was what
was in the pews (other than parishioners)
that was exciting.
Here along with the hymnals, were
these nicely laminated, colorful guides to
the Catholic Mass. “Cheat sheets” if you
will.
It was printed by “Our Sunday Visitor,”
a Catholic publisher of newspapers and
magazines, and included the various responses and other items used in the weekly
celebration.
Now, I imagine that tiny Landeck
doesn’t get many visitors, being tucked
between Delphos and Spencerville, but
I also knew that the Catholic Church has
made a few changes recently. Either way,
four words came to mind: what a wonderful outreach.
Attending a different church — or any
event to which you’re not accustomed —
can be a little scary. The last thing you need
is to feel uncomfortable in a new situation.
Having worked in public relations and
marketing, I can identify with those who
are trying to communicate with a larger
audience. Efforts such as those at Landeck
are to be commended. It’s almost like
purchasing a complicated piece of electronics and finding an exploded diagram rather
than a 200-page book of dry text — in 10
languages.
My most useful — and therefore my
favorite — map of Manhattan is a simple
thing. In addition to the streets, it highlights attractions and lists subway and bus
stops. It folds to pocket size and is coated
to avoid stains. Simple, yet functional (and
less than $5).
Just like the Mass “cheat sheet” it lets me
know what I need to know.
We need more things that can help
uncomplicate our lives — things that help
us connect to new experiences and new
thoughts. Reaching out and fostering understanding can have some wonderful results ... and also allow you to enjoy a service
you’re unfamiliar with without looking, or
at least feeling, out of place.
Governor race
gives voters
little say
O
nce again, last-minute maneuvering by the two major
political parties will result in a
“primary-free” gubernatorial election for
Ohioans.
That’s too bad. In a state nearly split
between conservatives and liberals, voters
should have a say when picking a party’s
candidate for such an important statewide
race. More often, it’s state party leaders,
not voters, who decide which candidate
progresses to the fall election.
Contested primaries had once looked
like a possibility in this year’s governor race
for both Republicans and Democrats.
But the GOP primary ticket was cleared
for Gov. John Kasich, who will be seeking
a second term, when Ted Stevenot, a tea
party favorite, dropped out less than a week
after he had thrown his hat into the ring.
Democrats, too, had been staring at a
primary matchup, until last Friday.
That’s when Hamilton County Commissioner Todd Portune withdrew his
bid to go head-to-head against Cuyahoga
County Executive Ed FitzGerald.
Both Portune and Stevenot have since
suggested they would have liked to have
taken their campaigns a step farther, but
were not encouraged to by officials in their
respective parties.
That’s not surprising. The clearing of
the gubernatorial ticket before a primary is
long-established political strategy.
Party leaders like to avoid first-round
fights which can divide the base. Granted,
Portune or Stevenot may not have had a
realistic chance of winning their respective
party’s nomination in May, but they may
have broadened the discussion.
Unfortunately, voters will only get to
weigh in once, not twice.

Freedom of Speech: Reader Opinions and Other Views
Cheering for American
manufacturing on the field
and the factory floor
A
t the 2012 Summer Olympic opening ceremony,
Team USA took the stage
wearing foreign-made red, white,
and blue uniforms. At a time when
so many good jobs had disappeared
overseas, the news that our Olympic team was being forced to wear
uniforms made
overseas was an
outrage. It made
no sense that an
American organization would place a
Chinese-made beret
on the heads of our
SHERROD best athletes when
BROWN
we have capacity to
make high-end apparel right here at home. That’s why I
passed a resolution calling on the U.S.
Olympic Committee (USOC) to
change this, and it promised it would
do so. Last week, at the opening ceremony of the Sochi Olympics, we
saw the USOC live up to its pledge,
as Team USA took the stage sporting
American-made apparel.
But while it was great to see
Olympic athletes wearing uniforms
with a “USA-made” label, there’s
more that we can do now to boost
American manufacturing. Ohio has a long and storied history of designing and manufacturing
clothing and apparel and we must
continue to help small businesses
across our state grow and succeed.
Our apparel companies like American Made Bags in Akron and All
American Clothing in Arcanum – can
compete with anyone in the world,
if given a level playing field. But, the
U.S. government spends more than
$1.5 billion on clothing made in
factories overseas.
We need to be doing all that we
can to invest in our own manufacturing base — and that begins with
ensuring our government is doing its
part.
My legislation, the Wear American Act, would change an existing
law that requires 51 percent of federal
government’s non-defense textile and
apparel purchases be made on U.S.made products.
We can do better than that.
Why shouldn’t apparel and textiles purchased by U.S. tax dollars be
100 percent American-made?
This isn’t rocket science. It just
makes plain sense to put U.S. tax dollars back into the U.S. economy.
When we do have to buy goods
that are made overseas, we need to
make sure we aren’t doing business
with contractors who violate labor
rights and worker safety laws, especially as they apply to child labor.
That’s why I am urging the General Services Administration (GSA) to
ensure that federal agencies not only
disclose the locations of the factories
they contract with, but that they are
aware of and take their working conditions into account when making
purchasing decisions. We should be in the business of
creating policies that reward hardworking Ohioans, who want to create
jobs in Ohio – rather than supporting
policies that help companies send
U.S. jobs overseas or take part in
questionable labor practices.
Right now, the stakes couldn’t be
higher. We must do everything we
can to support American workers.

U.S. Senator, D-Ohio
Adoption reform providing
a choice of life
O
ur current Ohio House of
Representatives has made
it a goal to discuss and
pass numerous pro-life bills. The most
recent of these bills is House Bill 307.
House Bill 307 focuses on reforming the at-birth adoption process, and
affords significant rights to mothers
who are looking to give their children
up for adoption at birth. The goal of
the bill is to speed
up and simplify the
adoption process for
expectant mothers in
the hopes that these
women will choose
to give birth, rather
than to abort the
Jim
child.
Buchy
House Bill 307
addresses the financial well-being of expectant mothers by outlining appropriate living
expenses to be paid to a biological
mother from adoptive parents. This
will allow women a greater opportunity to give the child up for adoption,
without worrying about the costs that
are sometimes associated with pregnancy.
Additionally, the bill makes it
harder for a father who is late to the
game to block the completion of an
adoption after a mother has decided
to give up the infant. Fathers who have
known about the possibility of a pregnancy for up to nine months and have
done nothing to support the mother
will, under the new bill, have up to
seven days after the birth of a child to
step up to the plate.
The bill establishes a new procedure for notifying a putative father of
his rights prior to the birth of a child.
The new procedure is modeled after
Indiana law, but uses the existing
Putative Father Registry for a putative
father to gain rights regarding decisions about the baby.
The pre-birth notification process
secures constitutional rights afforded
to birth fathers. The bill also reduces
the time for a father to register with
the Putative Father Registry after the
birth of a child from 30 days to seven
days in some cases where a father has
not been involved in a pregnancy.
Currently, persons wishing to
contest an adoption can do so for up
to one year. HB 307 reduces this time
period to 60 days, ensuring loving
couples do not become attached to a
child, only to have it taken away. This
also lowers the risk for exorbitant legal
costs for an adoptive family.
The bill encourages adoption right
here in Ohio, which increases the odds
that a child will find a loving home.
Through a state tax credit of $10,000
over a five-year period, adoptive parents in Ohio will have greater incentive to adopt from a mother in the
state, rather than looking elsewhere.
These measures all serve to decrease the burden upon a mother during the adoption process, and make it
easier for women to choose adoption
instead of abortion.
I understand that sometimes,
raising a child is not in the cards for a
woman. With this bill, I hope to make
it easier for women to find a solution
to their crisis pregnancy, and discourage them from turning to abortion as
an escape from the blessing of a new
child. Please give me your opinion on
this topic and others in the news this
month by completing an online survey at tinyurl.com/buchyfeb2014.

Director Todd Busse

said. “I think we’ve addressed that throughout

The board received approximately $490,000 in

end of 2013, Busse reported, which brought its
total revenue for the year
to an amount more than
the anticipated $4.6 million. “Going into this year,
we had a cash balance

we get our first significant

New Bremen
eyes new policy
for drug testing
By JANICE BARNIAK
STAFF WRITER
NEW BREMEN —
This week, New Bremen
Board of Education member are set to consider a
drug-testing policy for
students who participate
in extra curricular activities.
The proposed policy
would allow for random,
periodic testing for any
participants in extracurricular activities and for
student drivers. New Bremen High School Principal Brian Pohl said the
board will see a draft of
the policy and, at a later
date, have the company
that does the testing
come in and speak to the
board.
The policy is a recommendation of the current
athletic council.
“I think we don’t know
how many kids are doing
(drugs or alcohol) exactly, in talking to students,
talking to their parents
and working with local
law enforcement, it’s a
concern that it has increased,” Pohl said.
He said traditionally
the bigger concerns in
the area were with alcohol usage, but in the last
year or so administrators
have heard from students,
parents and local law enforcement that drugs are
a problem they want to
see get better.
“We want to be sure
we’re doing our part to
provide the safe, nurturing environment we’ve
always offered,” Pohl said.
“As far as we understand,
there is an increase occuring. We don’t want to get
to the point where it becomes the norm.”
He said instituting the
extracurricular
policy
5A
could be an easy way to
discourage use, but more
than that, it could be an
easy out for students
who’d like to have a ready
response to a person who
offers substances they’d
feel pressured to take.
“We’re looking at every option,” Pohl said.
Pohl said Marion Local has policy in place
and the testing has yet to
yield a positive test. At
the same, the school felt
the policy was a positive
measure.
“It’s a way to get out in
front of friends and save
face,” Pohl said.
He said he believed the
testing would coincide
with the sports seasons
of fall, winter and spring.
He added testing for participants would not carry
the same consequences
students face with the
campus’ policy.
The sports policy
would be considered
non-punitive, and would
cause a student who tested positive to miss games,
possibly get counseling,
or eventually if continuing to fail testing, require
residential rehabilitation.
The consequences in
the student handbook
for campus drug activity
include academic consequences from detention,
to in-school or out-ofschool suspension, to
expulsion. The extracurricular and driving policy
would be considered a
participant’s agreement.
“You can’t just test every kid that walks in the
door,” Pohl said. “If they
choose to participate, you
can do random testing at
that point.”

“I think the board has
done an outstanding job,
again, in helping all of us
work together as a team
to accomplish ... this safe
cash flow balance at this
time,” Willis said.
Adults Services Manager Greg Ferrall updated
the board members on
the bocce ball project, for
which he estimated a cost
of $30,000. The court will
be located near Sunshine
Playground in New Bremen, and he shared that
he hopes to create a sign
in the park with the history of bocce ball and listing
those organizations and
groups who helped with
the court’s construction.
The vocational program at Auglaize Industries had eight closures
and six delays in January
because of weather, but
that in spite of that, production was fairly high.
Willis emphasized that
road conditions and the
decisions made by local
schools are all factors in
the decision to cancel or
delay when weather is
bad.
Brenda Winner, of
Auglaize Industries, updated board members on
the Employment First
Initiative, a program that
can currently help six employees who are currently
in sheltered employment
to supported community
jobs — independent job
sites.
“It’s just another way
to get some involvement
with getting individuals
with disabilities out in the
community and get them
working,” she said.

Reversal of military pension cut eyed Admiral orders
DEBT RELIEF: House Republicans receive rocky reception from conservatives
WASHINGTON (AP)
— House Republican
leaders Monday unveiled
a plan to reverse a recently passed cut to military
pensions as the price for
increasing the government's borrowing cap, but
it received a rocky reception from skeptical conservatives.
GOP leaders briefed
rank-and-file GOP lawmakers at a meeting in the
Capitol on Monday evening in hopes of passing
it on Wednesday before
departing Washington for
a week-long vacation. It's
unclear whether the vote
would still go forward after it was rejected by many
conservatives.
"Right now we've got

a debt ceiling bill that increases spending, which
is diametrically 180 degrees opposite of what we
were battling over just two
years ago — where the
question was how much
in spending cuts we were
going to get," said Rep.
Mo Brooks, R-Ala.
The GOP bill would
extend Treasury's borrowing authority for at
least another year, repeal
the curb passed in December on pension inflation adjustments for
military retirees under the
age of 62, and extend automatic cuts to Medicare
and other programs to
2024, another year than
presently scheduled.
It's not clear that the
plan will fly with Democrats. Their votes would
be needed to help pass the
measure since some Republicans refuse to vote to
raise the debt ceiling under any circumstances. A
spokesman for House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said Democrats will continue to
insist that any debt limit
legislation omit add-ons,
even bipartisan proposals like repealing military
pension cuts.
But a 94-0 Senate procedural vote on Monday demonstrated the
widespread support in
both parties to repeal the
pension cut, and GOP
leaders seem confident
they would win Democratic votes. The Senate
tally came in relation to a
stand-alone bill to repeal
the cut. A key consideration for Republican leaders is whether to schedule
the vote — with the markets open — if they are
uncertain of the outcome.
If Monday's plan falls
through, GOP leaders
may have little choice but
to yield to Democratic
demands for a debt ceiling measure that's "clean"
of GOP add-ons, which
would be a bitter defeat
for a party that has sought
to use must-pass debt ceiling measures as leverage
to force spending cuts on
Democrats.

for military retirees under the age of 62 were
part of December's budget agreement, backed by
House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan,
R-Wis. Repealing them
would cost $7 billion over
the coming decade, the
Congressional Budget Office said Monday.
The reduction has
sparked an uproar among
advocates for veterans, and
lawmakers in both parties want to repeal it. The
cost of canceling the cut
would be borne by extending for an additional year a
2 percentage point cut to
Medicare reimbursements
to doctors and hospitals,
as well as cuts to a handful
of other benefit programs.
Those cuts, known as sequestration, would now
extend through 2024, with
savings for that year finally
appearing to make up for
almost a decade's worth of
additional pension spending.
Time is running out for
lawmakers to act to lift the
debt limit. Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew told lawmakers last week that Treasury will exhaust by Feb.
27 its ability to employ
accounting maneuvers to
borrow to pay its bills.

purge of bin Laden
corpse photos
WASHINGTON (AP)
— A newly-released email
shows that 11 days after
the killing of terror leader
Osama bin Laden in 2011,
the U.S. military's top
special operations officer
ordered subordinates to
destroy any photographs
of the al-Qaida founder's
corpse or turn them over
to the CIA.
The email was obtained
under a freedom of information request by the conservative legal group Judicial Watch. The document,
released Monday by the
group, shows that Adm.
William McRaven, who
heads the U.S. Special Operations Command, told
military officers on May
13, 2011 that photos of bin
Laden's remains should
have been sent to the CIA
or already destroyed. Bin
Laden was killed by a special operations team in
Pakistan on May 2, 2011.
McRaven's order to
purge the bin Laden material came 10 days after
the Associated Press asked
for the photos and other
documents under the
U.S. Freedom of Information Act. Typically, when
a freedom of information
request is filed to a government agency under the
Federal Records Act, the
agency is obliged to preserve the material sought
— even if the agency later
denies the request.
On May 3, 2011, the AP
asked Special Operations
Command's Freedom of
Information/Privacy Act
Division office for "copies
of all e-mails sent from and
to the U.S. government
account or accounts" of
McRaven referencing bin
Laden. McRaven was then
vice admiral.
A May 4, 2011 response
from the command's
FOIA office to the AP acknowledged the bin Laden
document request and
said it had been assigned
for processing. AP did
not receive a copy of the
McRaven email obtained
by Judicial Watch.
The Department of Defense FOIA office told the
AP in a Feb. 29, 2012 letter
that it could find no McRaven emails "responsive to
your request" for communications about the bin
Laden material.
The Special Operations
Command is required to
comply with rules established by the chairman of
the Joint Chiefs of Staff
that dictate how long records must be retained. Its
July 2012 manual requires
that records about military
operations and planning
are to be considered permanent and after 25 years,
following a declassification review, transferred to
the National Archives.
Last July, a draft report
by the Pentagon's inspector general first disclosed
McRaven's secret order,
but the reference was not
contained in the inspector
general's final report. The
email that surfaced Monday was the first evidence
showing the actual order.

A fast start usually turns into
good things, and for the Wapakoneta Redskins boys basketball
team, Monday’s fast
start against the Kenton Wildcats set the
tone as the Redskins
won their first game
71
in Western Buckeye
League play beating
the Wildcats on the
road, 71-49, in varsity
boys basketball ac49
tion at Kenton High
School.
The Redskins’ WBL win Monday was first-year coach Doug
Selvey’s first league win with the
team.
Wapak’s win Monday was its
third in the last four games and
came after a 1-13 start to the season which included a 10-game
loss streak.
“It feels great to get this win,”
Redskins varsity coach Doug
Selvey said. “I thought this game
was a total team effort because we
were able to put four good periods of basketball together.”
That team effort began right
away as Wapak jumped on the

overall, 1-6 WBL).
Morgan’s two 3-pointers were
a byproduct of the Redskins’
decision to attack the rim early,
forcing the Wildcats’ defense to
cave in, thus giving ample shooting opportunities for Morgan and
others.
“We have shot the 3-point-
ers well this season,” Selvey said.
“There was one game where we
had 13 3-pointers. We’re getting
our confidence back as a team and
they’re making the extra pass.”
The Redskins finished 8 of 15
from the behind the arc, an impressive 53 percent.
Another aspect Selvey was
pleased with was the way his team
finished.
“We have really struggled to
play well for four quarters, usually
we can only finish through three
quarters, but today I thought we
were able to put a full game together,” he said Monday.
The Redskins tattooed the
Wildcats for 32 points in the first
half, going into halftime up 3220, and they never let up in the
second half, pouring on 39 more
points.
Wapak shot 48 percent (24 of
50) from the field Monday.
The major contributors offensively for Wapak were juniors
Keaton Metz, who scored a gamehigh 20 points, and Adam Henderson, who added 17 points.
Morgan finished with eight
points.
“Keaton and Adam play very
well together and they continue
to improve every day for us,”
Selvey said.
On the defensive end of the
floor, the Redskins allowed an average of 12 points per period on
just a 31 percent shooting clip.

QUICK LOOK
Lawmakers, Redskins spar over team name
ASHBURN, Va. (AP) — The latest back-and-forth over the Washington
Redskins name includes a stern letter from two lawmakers and a public relations move from the team.
A letter sent Monday from Sen. Maria Cantwell of Washington state and
Rep. Tom Cole of Oklahoma tells NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell that the
league is on “the wrong side of history” and mentions the league’s tax-exempt
status. Cantwell chairs the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs.
The Redskins countered by saying they’ve received “almost 200” letters and
emails in recent months in support of the name from people who identified
themselves as Native Americans or as family members of Native Americans.
They say they’ve received only seven letters from Native Americans opposed to
the name.

clip.
“I told my players to
stay focused because I
have seen Kenton come
back from as much as 15
points down just to win
the game,” Selvey said
Monday. “You can’t let
these guys back into the
game because they are
physically strong, allowing them to score down
low whenever they want.
Our players didn’t let that
happen tonight.”
Matt Bahr was Kenton’s leading scorer with
16 points, and Grant
Sherman chimed in with
10 points.
The Redskins have
encountered a difficult
season, landing their first
WBL win Monday with
three games left in the
regular season, but Selvey
has seen much improvement throughout an adversity-filled yet inspiring
season.
“Our kids are getting
better and better each day
shooting out on the perimeter and that’s credit
to these kids,” Selvey said.
“They put in the time and
the effort and they have
not given up even though
they had lost 10 games
in a row. It’s pretty easy
to give up on something
when that happens.”
Monday’s league win
was sweet and an otherwise sour season, and
Selvey wants to reward
his players for their continued competition.
Cold winter creates big run on ice fishing gear
The parade out of Crane Creek
or Catawba often starts at first light.
All-terrain vehicles and snowmobiles pulling trailers, anglers dragging sleds loaded with fishing tackle
and pop-up ice shanties — all traversing what appears to be an uncharacteristically thick pavement of
frozen water.
Ice fishing on Lake Erie, which
has withered and remained mothballed for many anglers in recent
years, is alive and thriving as the
Siberian-esque winter continues to
bare its fangs. On most days, loosely
clustered shanty villages are visible
close to shore, then another a couple of miles out, and a third vestige
maybe four miles into the haze.
“I’m 26, and I’ve lived in Ohio
for 24 of those years, and in that
time span there have been maybe
three or four times when we’ve had
ice like this,” said Jon Pollauf, who
helps manage the fishing tackle department at Bass Pro Shops in Rossford. “On some weekends, you’ll
see 300 or more shanties out there,
and over a thousand people fishing
on the ice.”
Mother Nature’s relentless ice
production, which has prompted
an ice fishing resurgence for some
and a boom for others this winter,
has resulted in a shortage of some
of the essentials the sport requires.
There has been a run on everything
associated with ice fishing — augers, blades, fish finders, heaters,
shanties, skimmers, sleds, rod holders, and the wide array of ice-fishing
specific tackle.
“It’s unreal, the business we’ve
been doing on those items,” Pollauf
said. “Over the last few years we’ve
had little to no ice, and little to no
ice-related sales, but this winter has
been crazy.”
Botkins From Page 1B
ergy out of us.”
Mack described how
Botkins’ turnovers helped
guide the Bearcats to victory.
“We had 24 turnovers,
and they seemed like they
were just at crucial times,
especially in the fourth
period,” Mack said. “We’d
get the ball and be able to
break the press and then
someone would travel or
not make a great pass.”
The Trojans won the
opening tip and scored a
quick bucket. Soon they
saw a 6-2 lead off of quick
points on inbound passes.
“I saw that they had
that kind of pressure and
I knew we could get it at
least once,” Mack said.
Spencerville’s Katie
Merriman hit a 3-pointer
in the first period to help
the Bearcats bring their

“This win is nice,” said
Selvey. “I think I’m going
to let these guys relax and
enjoy it for a little while.”
Monday night’s win
was a showcase of a team
that has endured a disappointing and unlucky
year but one that still has
the fight and charisma to
play hard on the court.
And that dedication
only makes Selvey more
excited for what is to
come.
“These guys continue
to improve on both sides
of the ball since Day 1,”
Selvey said. “I keep saying this to people but I
can’t wait until the summer because we are going
to keep getting better as a
team and I think we’re going to be dangerous next
year.”
Monday’s game was
Wapak’s third in four days,
and fourth in seven days.
The Redskins will
play three straight home
games to conclude the
regular season, as they
will play back-to-back
games later this week,
starting Friday night at

the junior varsity squad
taking the court at 6 p.m.

Modern Rarities: NW Ohio’s premier precious metals dealer
Randy Camper has
worked with precious metals and rare coins for more
than 30 years, both in California, and here in Ohio.
Along with his own business, he spent several years
as an authenticator/grader
for major Third Party Grading services as well as a year
as staff writer for Coin World.
Now he takes on his next
adventure as owner of Modern Rarities, Northwest
Ohio’s premier precious
metals dealer.
Modern Rarities keeps a
wide stock of gold and silver bars and coins as well as
U.S., Canadian and South
African bullion coins.
“You would have to go
to Cincinnati or Cleveland
to find another place that
deals in just metals,” Randy
said. “While Modern Rarities will gladly authenticate,
appraise and purchase almost all U.S. coins as well as
foreign gold or silver coins,
they do not carry a large collectible coin inventory.”
Instead they deal mostly
in purchasing and selling
gold and silver.
After spending the last
few years meeting customers at the various banks or
financial institutions, this
new location is ideal for a
precious metals dealer.
“We are right inside
Chase Tower in downtown
Lima,” Randy said. “We
are actually right across the
street from a pawn shop,
so people can see how 95
percent of the time we are
going to pay more for scrap
metal than a pawn shop or
jeweler.”
Modern Rarities is located at 121 W. High St. in
Lima and is open Tuesdays,

‘Disease’ debate continues over obesity
I
’m not sure what
to make of the fact
that so many people
are now calling obesity
a “disease.” What’s the
point? Isn’t it a copout?
When the American
Medical Association officially recognized obesity
as a disease last June, the
move was controversial.
But the idea behind
classifying obesity as
a disease rather than a
“disorder” or “condition”
has some merit: Health
officials hoped it would
encourage doctors to
take more ownership
in helping patients with
weight-loss efforts and
encourage more discussion about weight.
Still, in adopting the
measure, the AMA essentially declared one-third
of Americans as “sick”
simply because of their
weight, even if they don’t
have any health problems. For that and other
reasons, some health authorities continue to dis-
pute the label.
Recently, new research
has entered the fray. The
study, published online
in January in Psychological Science, involved
more than 700 people.
Researchers found that
participants who read an
article labeling obesity as
a disease tended to have
a higher body image and
reduced stigma about
obesity.
On the other hand,
they also seemed less
concerned about weight
and saw eating healthfully as less important.
Experts are split on
whether people have
total control over their
weight. Some point to
evidence that hormones
and other factors play a
significant role in a per-
son’s appetite and weight
-- circumstances that go
beyond eating too many
calories and not getting
enough physical activity.
In addition, people wrestling with obesity often
struggle with self-esteem
issues, which present another roadblock in the
battle of the bulge. Previous research has shown
that having a healthy
body image is extremely
important to overall wellbeing and is associated
with other health factors,
including increased physical activity and reduced
stress.
The bottom line?
Maybe it’s not important
whether obesity is a disease or not. If you’re battling a weight problem, it
could be more advantageous to focus on overcoming any discomfort
with the issue and having an upfront, honest
discussion about your
weight with your doctor
or other health professional.
Supporting the YMCA
Treasurer of the Wapakoneta Sertoma Club Jim West presents Wapakoneta Family
YMCA CEO Josh Little with a check of $1,500 toward the YMCA Annual Support
Campaign. The Sertoma club’s Chili day is Feb. 20, and proceeds from that event go
towards helping those in the community.
Restaurant donates furniture,
helps neighbors in need
Bob Evans Farms, Inc.
announced its donation
of more than $500,000 of
furniture to the Furniture
Bank of Central Ohio,
an organization that provides free furniture to
central Ohio families and
individuals
struggling
with poverty and other
severe life challenges.
When Bob Evans
Farms moved to its new
corporate campus in New
Albany, Ohio, in October
2013, thousands of furniture pieces had to be removed to ready the South
High street property for
its new owners, New Mill
Capital LLC.
Bob Evans Farms partnered with the Furniture
Bank of Central Ohio
to repurpose more than
$500,000 of furniture
from the South High
Street corporate campus,
which will allow central
Ohio families and individuals battling poverty to
obtain needed home furnishings for free.
Many larger furniture
pieces will be cut down
and recycled by the Furniture Bank’s carpentry
team to make kitchen tables, night stands, coffee
tables and other essential
items.
“We were very impressed by the work that
the Furniture Bank of
Central Ohio does within
our community and felt it
was a perfect use for the
our corporate campus
Bob Evans Farms, Inc. donated furnishings from its previous
corporate campus to the Furniture Bank of Central Ohio.
furniture,” says Joe Eulberg, executive vice president of human resources,
Bob Evans Farms. “It is
our company’s mission to
make a difference within
all the communities we
serve. We are proud that
our corporate campus furniture will have a new life
for our neighbors in need
within Central Ohio.”
The company also donated numerous items to
the Center for Healthy
Families, which provides
services that address the
holistic needs of pregnant
and parenting teens within Franklin County.
In addition, Bob Evans
Farms held a special sale
on January 11 for employees and their families to
purchase furniture, art,
storage units, and other
items. Nearly $7,000 from
the employee sale benefitted the Bob Evans Farms
employee assistance fund,
which offers assistance to
employees in need.
Bob Evans Farms, Inc.
owns and operates fullservice restaurants under
the Bob Evans Restaurants brand name. At the
end of the second fiscal quarter (October 25,
2013), Bob Evans Restaurants owned and operated
561 family restaurants in
19 states, primarily in the
Midwest, mid-Atlantic
and Southeast regions of
the United States.
Bob Evans Farms, Inc.,
through its BEF Foods,
Inc. segment, is also a
leading producer and distributor of refrigerated
side dishes, pork sausage
and a variety of refrigerated and frozen convenience food items under
the Bob Evans and Owens
brand names. For more

Flowers, sweets don’t make a relationship strong
COLUMBUS
—
Heart-shaped boxes of
candy are ubiquitous this
time of year, and with
Valentine’s Day falling
on a Friday, it’s likely restaurants will be mobbed
more than usual.
But chocolates and
a nice dinner out don’t
necessarily make a relationship strong, said Carmen Irving, the Healthy
Relationships Program
specialist with Ohio State
University
Extension’s
Family and Consumer
Sciences program.
“There is a difference
between what people
fantasize is the perfect
romantic
relationship
versus the actual qualities that go into making a
long-lasting, committed
relationship,” Irving said.
Research dating back
to the early 1990s from
the University of North
Carolina-Chapel Hill and
Duke Medical Center indicates that young adults
have different notions of
what would make an ideal
relationship, she said.
Some dream of a relationship with a strong
intimate dimension —
an intertwining of their
emotional lives. Some
long for a relationship full
of romanticized activities,
such as walking on the
beach, sitting in front of
the fireplace, or dressing
up and going out. Others
take a more traditional
view, hoping for a relationship that will lead to
cohabitation or marriage,
possibly children, and
living happily ever after.
Still others get wrapped
up in the view that all a
relationship really needs
is love — as Irving puts it,
“As long as we have each
other, we can do anything.”
But other research
commonly discussed in
textbooks on interpersonal relations points to
elements in a relationship
that predict whether it
will be a strong one, she
said. They include:
• Shared activities.
“This has emerged in the
research as being a fundamental piece to keeping
relationships going,” Irving said. “It’s more than
going about your dayto-day routine together.
It’s really connecting and
taking an interest in new
activities and exploring
things together as a couple.
• Social support. Committed couples offer
social support to each
other, “like no other support you receive, through
good times and bad,” she
said.
• Forgiveness. “This
is an important part of
the process,” Irving said.
“Over the course of time,
there are going to be
things that happen, and
you have to figure out
how to negotiate these
things so you’re not carrying them through the
relationship.” It’s important to note, though,
that this doesn’t mean
couples have to tolerate
everything, particularly
abusive or other behaviors in an unhealthy relationship.
•
Communication.
“Healthy communication
between partners leads to
a lasting commitment,”
Irving said. “That’s almost
a given.” Yet it doesn’t
trump the other factors,
Irving said.
There are things cou-
ples can do to invest in
their relationship, Irving
said. “We know that relationship investment leads
to increased commitment
in a romantic relationship,” she said. “These can
be really simple things to
do.” Examples include:
• Spending free time
together. “It’s making a
choice to be with your
partner versus engaging in other activities or
hanging out with other
friends.”
• Buying gifts, dinner
or other forms of entertainment. “By no means
does this equate into
buying into commercial
ideas, but if you think of
those gifts as an investment in your relationship,
it does increase commitment.”
• Sharing intimate feelings. “This is a big one,”
Irving said. “If you’re
making that investment
in sharing yourself, your
ideas, your beliefs and
sometimes even your
problems, that does increase commitment in
couples.”
• Find some activities
in common. “Develop
interest in activities that
you can do together and
that will boost your commitment to each other.”
• Doing favors for one
another. “We need to take
time and think about our
partner. Sometimes it’s
as simple as picking up a
gallon of milk, and sometimes it’s the really big
things, like changing your
career plans or relocating
to continue your investment into the relationship.”
Irving said it’s important to remember that
building a strong relationship is a two-way street.
One way to think
about healthy, romantic
relationships is based on a
common research-based
model, the “Triangular
Theory of Love” by psychologist Robert Sternberg, Irving said.
The model focuses on
three key elements, she
said.
"One side of the triangle would be intimacy,
which is the trust and
caring, sharing and vulnerability that occurs in
a committed relationship.
Another side of that tri-
angle is passion, which is
that physical desire and
physical intimacy that occurs. And the bottom part
of the triangle is commitment, thinking about
this relationship lasting
through good times and
bad.
“In making a romantic relationship last over
time, it’s really that blend
of all three sides of the triangle that makes a longlasting and healthy relationship,” Irving said.
For Valentine’s Day,
couples should keep
these things in mind, she
said.
“The cliché candlelight dinner may not be
what we’re looking for,"
Irving said. "You might
want to take Valentine’s
Day as an opportunity
to go out walking and
talking together. I don’t
think we have to buy into
media stereotypes. We
know that spending time
together is what makes a
difference. And we know
that this is a process, it’s
not a one-time shot on
Valentine’s Day that fosters long-lasting relationships.”

Pros and cons to air duct cleaning
Many
homeowners
consider having the ductwork in their homes
cleaned. Mailers often tout
the benefits of this service
and warn of the potential
hazards that could be lurking inside uncleaned vents
and ducts. But whether or
not air ducts need to be
cleaned remains open for
debate. A quick review of
air duct cleaning can help
homeowners make a more
informed decision.
What is duct cleaning?
Before looking into the
advantages and disadvantages to duct cleaning, it is
advantageous to examine
the process involved when
cleaning air ducts. There
are two ways to have the
ducts cleaned in a
home:rotary
vacuum
brushing or high pressure
air washing.
Vacuum brushing utilizes a spinning brush to
scrub dust and debris off
the air vents and a vacuum
to capture whatever is dislodged.
allergies may find that routine cleaning helps ameliorate the problems of sneezing and watery eyes. Duct
cleaning can remove allergens and dust.
High pressure air washing uses pressurized air
blown through the air
ducts. A truck-mounted
industrial vacuum is
attached to the furnace,
and all of the air register
vents in the home are covered. Once all the air ducts
have been blown clear,
another air wand is fed
into the end of the hot and
cold air supply lines. Dust
and debris is then drawn
backward into the vacuum.
The Environmental
Protection Agency says air
duct cleaning is handy if
there is a noticeable accumulation of dust and
debris in ducts or if particles are actually released
into the home from supply
registers. If ducts are
infested with rodents or
insects, cleaning will make
indoor air much safer.
Pros
One of the more obvious advantages of air duct
cleaning is improved
health and hygiene in the
home. Those prone to
Mold is another factor
to consider when determining if ducts need to be
cleaned. Mold spores floating in the air can lead to
illness. Professional cleaning may be the only way to
remove mold and mildew
from the system.
Homeowners who have
fireplaces may find the air
becomes dirtier faster.
That's because of the residue put into the air from
burning wood and other
fuel. This residue not only
builds up inside of the
chimney in the form of
creosote, but also can form
a sticky, sooty layer inside
of ductwork. Cleaning the
ducts can remove this soot.
Cons
The EPA advises that
no research has definitively shown that duct cleaning prevents health problems. Neither do studies
conclusively demonstrate
that particle (e.g., dust)
levels in homes increase
because of dirty air ducts.
This is because much of
the dirt in air ducts adheres
to duct surfaces and does
not necessarily enter the
living space. What's more,
dirty air that enters the
home from outdoors or
indoor activities, such as
smoking or cleaning, can
actually cause greater
exposure to contaminants
than dirty air ducts.
There also is no evidence that cleaning ducts
and components of the
heating/cooling system
will make the furnace or
air conditioner work any
more efficiently.
Air duct cleaning is an
expensive undertaking.
On average the cost of
such a service can range
from $400 to $1,000,
depending on the extent of
the cleaning and the size of
the home.
Cleaning the ducts also
can be dirty and time-consuming. Cleaning may
spread contaminants that
were lodged inside of the
vents throughout the air
more readily.
Some cleaning services
will advise the use of
chemical biocides to treat
the interior of vents. These
are designed to kill microbiological contaminants.
The EPAwarns chemical
biocides have yet to be
fully researched, and
homeowners should be
fully informed before
deciding to permit the use
of biocides or chemical
treatments in air ducts.
Homeowners should
never attempt to clean air
ducts themselves. If the
decision is made to have
the cleaning done, it
should only be on an asneeded basis and completed by a reputable cleaning
service.

BABY BLUES
Definitely sounds like an emotional attachment
DEAR ANNIE: A few
years ago, my wife went out of
town for a conference. A month
after she returned, I was on our
computer and noticed that she
hadn’t logged out of her email.
My curiosity got the best of me,
and I saw that she had traded
emails with an old boyfriend. I
then discovered that the two of
them had met while she was at
the conference. One of her last
emails to him said, “I still have
feelings for you.”
On the advice of a marriage
counselor, I was direct with her
about it. She claimed nothing
happened and that they only
met for dinner and said she
would never contact him again.
She also was angry that I had
invaded her privacy.
Last year, my wife and I hit a
rough patch. I got suspicious of
her behavior and checked her
cellphone. I saw that she had
exchanged multiple texts with
this same guy. Again, she claims
nothing happened, the texts
were innocent and I had no
right to snoop.
My wife knows the password to my email, and I never
lock my cellphone. All of my
communication is an open
book. Meanwhile, she now
locks her phone and has multiple email accounts. I understand the need for a little privacy, but I don’t believe you
should be hiding things in a
committed relationship. My
wife is angry that I don’t trust
her, and I’m having trouble
dealing with this. Any advice?
BEETLE BAILEY
BLONDIE
CRANKSHAFT
-- Broken Up
DEAR BROKEN: We
don’t trust your wife, either.
She promised not to contact
this man again and then did so
and hid it from you. She locks
her phone and has multiple
email accounts to which you
apparently do not have the
passwords. Worse, to deflect
blame, she accuses you of
snooping. There may not have
been a sexual affair, but it definitely sounds like an emotional
attachment. Please go back to
your counselor and ask your
wife to come with you. The two
of you need a refresher course
on how to make your marriage
work and regain trust.
DEAR ANNIE: I own a
small casual restaurant in a
small town. People order at the
counter and then take their
food to a table to eat.
In the past couple of years,
I’ve noticed more people bringing in food from other establishments and eating at our
place. I don’t understand why
people think it’s OK to take
advantage of an eating establishment like this. Don’t they
realize that the owner is paying
for the incidental items they
use, such as napkins? Don’t
they see that they are taking up
space that could be used by
people who are actually helping
to pay the bills incurred by the
restaurant? Am I looking at the
situation in the wrong way? -No Free Lunch
DEAR NO: We suspect
most people have no clue that
Bridge
this is an inconvenience to you.
There are some establishments
that allow people to sit for
extended lengths of time without ordering, but we know of
none that encourage you to
bring your own food. Most restaurants require a minimum
order to justify the use of the
space. We suggest you implement this policy with a sign at
each table and at the cash register. You may have to approach
flouters with a bill, but word
will get around.
DEAR ANNIE: This is for
“Tired,” who does all the cooking for the holiday meals and
then gets stuck with the cleanup, too. I have a good friend in
the same situation. She is on
good terms with all of her family members, but they never
helped or knew what to do. So
she wrote up duties, put them
on little pieces of paper and
placed the pieces into a nice
dish. When each guest arrived,
they picked out a paper and
read their duty for that meal.
They loved it, and she was not
so worn out. -- DLT

More changes made to health law Factory blast in
WASHINGTON (AP)
— It may take weeks to
render a verdict on the
Obama administration's
latest health care concession to employers.
But that could make a
difference for Democrats
battling to keep control of
the Senate in the fall congressional elections.
All-important details
are buried in more than
200 pages of dense Treasury regulations released
Monday. The biggest
change is that mediumsized firms got another
delay in a heavily criticized requirement that
they cover their workers
or face fines.
The
administration
said companies with 50 to
99 employees will have an
additional year to comply,
until January 1, 2016.
For businesses with
100 or more employees,
the so-called employer
mandate will still take
effect in 2015. But other
newly announced provisions, dealing with technical issues such as the
calculation of working
hours, may help some of
those firms.
The mandate was originally supposed to take effect this year.
More than 90 percent
of companies with 50 or
more employees already
cover their workers without the government telling them to do so, but
the debate has revolved
around the potential impact on new and growing firms. Most small
businesses have fewer
than 50 workers and are
exempt from the mandate. However, employer
groups were also uneasy
with a requirement that
defines a full-time worker
as someone averaging 30
hours a week.
Republicans trying to
take control of the Senate in the November
elections have once again
made President Barack
Obama's health care
law their top issue, casting it as job killer. They
want to use the employer
mandate to build that
case, with anecdotes of
bosses reluctant to hire
a 50th worker, or slashing the hours of low-
wage workers who need
to pay household bills.
Monday's moves by the
administration seemed
calibrated to reduce that
risk.
The reaction of business groups was mixed.
"These final regulations
secured the gold medal
for greatest assistance to
retailers, and other businesses, and our employees," said Neil Trautwein,
a vice president of the National Retail Federation.
The U.S. Chamber of
Commerce was unimpressed, calling it more
of a respite than a fundamental change.
"This short-term fix
also creates new problems for companies by
moving the goalposts of
the mandate modestly
when what we really need
is a time-out," president
Thomas Donohue said in
a statement.
The
administration
still hasn't issued rules for
reporting requirements
on business and insurers,
the nitty-gritty of how
the coverage requirement
will be enforced.
Administration officials and the law's supporters said the concessions were the sorts of
reasonable
accommodations that regulators
make all the time when
implementing major new
legislation. The Treasury
Department said Secretary Jack Lew was well
within his legal authority
in making the changes.
"This common-sense
approach will protect
employers already providing quality insurance,
while helping to ensure
that larger employers are
prepared to meet their responsibility to their hardworking employees," said
House Minority Leader
Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.
But Republicans said
they smelled fear.
"It is clear Democrats
don't think they can survive politically if Obamacare is allowed to fully
go into effect," said Rep.
Dave Camp, R-Mich.,
who as chairman of the
Ways and Means Committee oversees the tax
penalties enforcing the
mandate.
FAA probes media use of drone aircraft
HARTFORD, Conn.
(AP) — As police responded to a deadly car
crash, they noticed an increasingly familiar sight:
a remote-controlled aircraft, equipped with a
video camera, hovering
over the wreckage.
The Federal Aviation Administration has
opened an investigation
of the drone, which was
used by an on-call employee for a Connecticut
television station. The
FAA is developing new
rules as the technology
makes drones far more
versatile, but for now op-
erators can run afoul of
regulations by using them
for commercial purposes,
including journalism.
The case of the Hartford crash, in which the
victim's body was left
hanging out of a mangled
car, highlights some of
the safety, privacy and
ethical issues that journalists will wrestle with
as interest grows in using
drones for newsgathering.
"Here was a dead body
still on the scene. We
had covered it the best
we could," said Lt. Brian
Foley, a Hartford police
spokesman, who said
drones have been appearing more frequently at
crime scenes. "You don't
want the family to see
that."
Hartford officers questioned the man operating
the drone on Feb. 1 but
did not ask him to take
it down, Foley said. The
man identified himself as
an employee of WFSBTV but said he was not
working for them that
day.
The station's general
manager, Klarn DePalma,
said it constantly evaluates new technology and
is eager to see regulations
spelled out for drones,
but he said the temporary
employee in question was
not on assignment for
them and has never been
paid for drone video.
"We don't even own a
drone," he said.
The FAA said Monday that it has issued 12
warning letters to drone
operators, which can
include orders to stop
operations. It said in a
statement that its investigations are intended to
determine whether operators violated FAA safety
regulations.

PETERBOROUGH,
N.H. (AP) — An explosion rocked a small-town
ball bearings plant on
Monday, shaking walls,
shattering windows and
sending at least 15 people to the hospital, but a
company spokeswoman
said none of their injuries
appeared to be life-threatening.
Hazardous-materials
teams responded after Monday afternoon's
explosion at the New
Hampshire Ball Bearings
Inc. plant in Peterborough, but firefighters said
there didn't appear to be
any environmental damage.
A plant machine operator, Paul Clark, said he
was outside in the parking
lot on Monday afternoon
when he heard the blast.
"I was in my car backing out when I felt a rumble and heard a bang," he
said. "I looked up, and
snow on the building's
roof was flying into the
wind."
The blast blew out windows on the three-story
building's ground floor,
Peterborough Fire Department spokesman Eric
Bowman said. There was
heavy explosion damage,
and the first arriving firefighters saw a column of
smoke, he said.
The cause of the explosion was under investigation, but all indications
were that it was an industrial-related incident,
Bowman said.
First responders will
try to determine the extent of the damage to the
facility, company spokeswoman Kathy Gerrity
said. It was unknown
when the facility will be
back in operation because
it would need to be inspected and deemed safe
first, she said.
The plant, in the southwest New Hampshire
town that was the inspiration for Thornton Wilder's
play "Our Town," manufactures high-tech parts
for the aerospace industry
and employs 700 people.
Gerrity said she wasn't
sure how many people
were inside when the explosion happened Monday afternoon but there
are usually about 450
working around that time.
Clark, who operates a machine used in a
rolling procedure, said
his girlfriend, Andrea
Painchaud, was at work
in the shipping department when the explosion knocked shelves off
the walls and part of the
roof came down around
her. He said she was uninjured.
"Smoke came pouring out," said Clark, who
lives in nearby Pepperell,
Mass. "I could hear somebody screaming."
Bill Brock, owner
of the Manhattan East
Hair Design shop about
a quarter-mile from the
plant, said he heard and
felt something but didn't
know what it was. Then
about 30 ambulances and
fire trucks went by.
Gov. Maggie Hassan
said the state emergency
operations center was
open to monitor the situation and she was "very
encouraged" to hear that
all employees had been
accounted for.
