money to buy his own car to get toand from his three jobs to pay forcollege. “I kept saving money andkept hoping that luck would go myway to win this car so I could getto work.”The 18 year-old Mayberry said

he had been hoping and praying towin the car so he no longer had toborrow his parents’ vehicle to getto his jobs which include Fazoli’s,the new sub shop Jimmy John’sand this summer for the Troy RecDept’s playground program.Mayberry said now the money

he had been saving for a car willpay for college, and he might evenindulge in the annual “Senior SkipDay.”Dave Arbogast Buick Pontiac

When expectant motherSamantha Fair began hav-ing contractions earlyTuesday morning, shecalled her two sisters, JenMcGlaughlin and TriciaBerry, as they had plannedto take Fair to the UpperValley Medical Center.That was the plan, any-

way.“As we were driving the

baby was coming,”McGlaughlin said. “By thetime we reached CountyRoad 25-A, the baby’s headwas out.”McGlaughlin, 37, was

driving as Fair, 22, was sit-ting in the passenger seatas she entered labor.

Meanwhile, Berry, 27, satin the back of the vehicle.“My other sister said,

‘close your legs and don’tpush,’” McLaughlinrecalled the hectic scene.When the three sisters,

who all live in Piqua,reached the hospital cam-pus McLaughlin stoppedin the middle of a right-of-way and couldn’t evenmake it to the parking lotas Tricia ran toward thehospital to get help.“She was running so

fast that she came out ofher flip flops and just kepton running,” McLaughlinsaid.Meanwhile back at the

car, McLaughlin did her

level best to assist in thebirth, and an off-dutynurse who noticed thecommotion stopped andassisted.“She (Samantha) was

freaking out, screamingand was in so much pain,”McLaughlin said. “I wasscared at first because Icouldn’t hear the baby cry-ing. … It all happened sofast.”Once Samantha gave

birth in the car, but beforedoctors reached her,McLaughlin rooted aroundthe vehicle for a blanket towrap the newborn baby inand when she couldn’t findone she improvised.“I used my Ohio State

hoodie,” McGlaughlinlaughed, “which is awe-some because Samantha is

a Michigan fan. The firstthing her baby wore wasan OSU hoodie. She want-ed him to be a Michiganfan.”That’s right, him —

Samantha gave birth to anabsolutely healthy bounc-ing baby boy who shenamed Blake Daniel Fair.The baby weighed 6pounds, 7 ounces.Both Samantha and her

new son, her second child,are scheduled to bereleased from the hospitaltoday.McLaughlin still has a

hard time believing howcrazy the whole episodewas.“It’s something you

would see in a movie,”McGlaughlin said. “It wasso wild.”

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — TheState Department haslaunched a different sort ofraid against al-Qaida hack-ing into al-Qaida websitesin Yemen.

In a rare public admis-sion of the covert cyber waragainst extremists,Secretary of State HillaryRodham Clinton says cyberexperts based at the StateDepartment hacked Yemenitribal websites, replacingal-Qaida propaganda thatbragged about killingAmericans.

“Within 48 hours, ourteam plastered the samesites with altered versionsof the ads that showed thetoll al-Qaida attacks havetaken on the Yemeni peo-ple,” Clinton saidWednesday.

In response, “Extremistsare publicly venting theirfrustration and asking sup-porters not to believe every-thing they read on theInternet,” she said.

Clinton described thecyber effort as part of alarger, multipronged attackon terrorism that goesbeyond attacks like theNavy SEAL raid that killedOsama bin Laden to includethe propaganda battle, andthe longer, slower campaignof diplomats working along-side special operationstroops to shore up local gov-ernments and economies

and train local forces.Clinton was speaking

alongside Adm. BillMcRaven, head of the U.S.Special OperationsCommand, at a conferenceof hundreds of U.S. andinternational special opera-tions commanders the twosenior leaders sending atacit message to their some-times warring tribes oftroops and diplomats thatthey have to get along.

Yemen is consideredboth a model and a testcase of that effort. U.S.diplomats have been work-ing to stabilize the fledglinggovernment of PresidentAbed Rabbo Mansour Hadi,who replaced oustedYemeni strongman AliAbdullah Saleh. Salehstepped down in Februaryas part of a U.S.-backedpower-transfer deal bro-kered by Gulf Arab coun-tries aimed at ending polit-ical unrest in the countryafter a yearlong uprising.

Hadi has faced the twinchallenges of Saleh loyal-ists refusing to relinquishtheir government and mili-tary posts, and of al-Qaidaattacks in the south, wherethe group has established alarge safe haven fromwhich to attack Yemenitroops.

The White Houseresponded by issuing anexecutive order last weekthreatening sanctionsagainst individuals whochallenge Hadi’s govern-ment.

It also dispatched a newbatch of special operationsforces to train Yemen’s

army to help withstand al-Qaida attacks that havekilled hundreds of Yemenitroops.

Yemen’s al-Qaida in theArabian Peninsula, is con-sidered one of al-Qaida’smost dangerous offshoots.

Yemen was the launch-ing pad for three foiled al-Qaida attacks on U.S. tar-gets: the Christmas 2009attempt to down anAmerican airliner overDetroit with an underwearbomb and the sending ofprinter cartridges packedwith explosives to Chicago-area synagogues in 2010.

In the past month theCIA thwarted yet anotherplot by AQAP to destroy aU.S.-bound airliner using abomb which could havebeen undetectable by con-ventional airport scanners.

Clinton says the cyberattack was launched by aninteragency group of spe-cialists, including diplo-mats, special operators andintelligence analysts,housed at the StateDepartment. Called theCenter for StrategicCounterterrorism Comm-unications, its expertspatrol the Internet andsocial media to counter al-Qaida’s attempts to recruitnew followers.

“Together, they will workto pre-empt, discredit andoutmaneuver extremistpropaganda,” Clinton said.

Offensive attacks onextremist sites are general-ly attributed to thePentagon’s U.S. CyberCommand, though seldomacknowledged publicly.

zance bond during hisTuesday arraignment inmunicipal court.

An additional charge ofreceiving stolen propertyhas been filed against Behr,court documents show, andhe is scheduled to bearraigned in that case onJune 13. Both men haveMay 30 preliminary hear-ings scheduled.

A third suspect, 17-year-old Celeste Marie LynnJulian of Piqua has beencharged with a probationviolation and two counts ofburglary, both felonies.

She remains behind barsat the county’s juveniledetention facility as hercases are pending in MiamiCounty Juvenile Court.

Police officials said theinvestigation into thecrimes is ongoing.

Obama birth certificate OK by officialPHOENIX (AP) — Arizona’s

secretary of state said Wednesdaythat Hawaii’s official verificationof President Barack Obama’s birthrecords meets necessary require-ments, meaning the president’sname will appear on Arizona’s bal-lot in the fall.

The inquiry launched recentlyby Arizona Secretary of State KenBennett gave official weight to along-simmering political contro-versy generated by those who saythat Obama was not born in theU.S. and therefore is ineligible tohold the nation’s highest office.

The Obama administrationattempted a year ago to dismissthe conflict by releasing his long-form birth certificate showing thathe was born in Hawaii.

But skeptics maintained theirstance and eventually Bennettannounced he would seek furtherverification at the request ofnumerous voters who contactedhis office, even saying he was pre-pared to leave Obama’s name offthe state’s ballot in November.

Bennett, a Republican, said in awritten statement that Hawaiiofficials “have complied with therequest, and I consider the matterclosed.”

Bennett’s office says Obama’sname will appear on Arizona’sNovember ballot as long as hewins his party’s nomination andall paperwork is properly complet-ed.

Obama campaign spokesmanMahen Gunaratna noted thatBennett also is Arizona campaignco-chair for Republican presiden-tial contender Mitt Romney.Gunaratna said Bennett’s inquirywill have no bearing on the elec-tion, “But it does present an oppor-

tunity for Mitt Romney to finallyrise to the occasion and denouncethe extreme voices in his party.”

The Romney campaignresponded saying the candidatehas made his stance on the issueclear.

“I think the citizenship test hasbeen passed,” Romney said toCNBC in April, a statementrelayed to The Associated Press byhis campaign on Wednesday. “Ibelieve the president was born inthe United States. And there arereal reasons to get this guy out ofoffice.”

Hawaii State Registrar AlvinOnaka sent the document Tuesdayconfirming the information onObama’s birth certificate, such asthe Honolulu hospital where he

was born and the names and agesof his parents.

Hawaii officials have repeated-ly verified Obama’s citizenship asskeptics have maintained that thepresident was born in Kenya, hisfather’s home country.

State and federal courts alsohave rejected lawsuits over theissue.

The verification process wasthe subject of three months of backand forth, with Hawaii officialsinitially saying Bennett had toshow why he needed the informa-tion as part of ordinary business.

Other Arizona officials over thelast year have raised questionsabout Obama’s birth certificate.

Last year, the state Legislaturepassed a bill that would have

required presidential candidatesto prove their citizenship beforetheir names could appear on thestate’s ballot.

The proposal was vetoed byRepublican Gov. Jan Brewer, whocalled the measure “a bridge toofar.”

Maricopa County Sheriff JoeArpaio, the self-proclaimed tough-est sheriff in America, had a vol-unteer posse launch an investiga-tion into the issue, saying inMarch there was reason to believeObama’s long-form birth certifi-cate is a computer-generated for-gery.

Arpaio, known for his hardlinestance on illegal immigration, saidWednesday the information givento Bennett’s office doesn’t dispelhis suspicions. He vowed to con-tinue his posse’s investigationuntil Hawaii officials providemicrofilm of the original birth cer-tificate or the original documentitself.

Earlier this spring, Bennett’soffice made a change that requirescandidates to complete a new formasking eligibility questions,including whether they are natu-ral-born U.S. citizens.

In the past, political partiesdrafted their own certificationdocuments that Arizona officialssay didn’t consistently address theissue of qualifications.

Democrat state Rep. ChadCampbell, Arizona’s House minor-ity leader, called on Bennett tostep down as co-chair of theRomney campaign, saying if hedoesn’t, then he should resign assecretary of state.

Bennett declined through aspokesman to comment onCampbell’s appeal.

APIn this Sept. 16, 2010 file photo, Arizona Secretary of State KenBennett speaks during an event in Casa Grande, Ariz. Bennett saidWednesday that Hawaii’s verification of President Barack Obama’sbirth records meets necessary requirements and that the presidentwill appear on Arizona’s ballot in the fall.

MILITARY BRIEF

The Asahi Shimbun,Tokyo, on nuclear power:The devastating accident at

the Fukushima No. 1 nuclearpower plant last year has evokedserious public distrust of politi-cians, bureaucrats and scien-tists.

What needs to be done tostop the continuing growth ofpublic distrust and restore theircredibility with the people?

The government has prom-ised to promote “national

debate” as part of its efforts tomap out a new nuclear powerand energy policy. Specifically, itplans to sort out the possiblepolicy options that have beendiscussed by related advisorycouncils and study groups andpresent them to the people.

The government says it isaiming to build a national con-sensus on the future direction ofthe policy by summer.

But not all the assumptionsfor the debate are clear.

The government’s committeelooking into the nuclear accidenthas yet to compile its report. Theproposed new nuclear safetywatchdog, tentatively named the“Nuclear Regulatory Agency,”has yet to be created. It will beeven longer before new nuclearsafety standards are established.

A well-thought-out plan andits careful implementation arevital. A rough-and-readyapproach could even deepen thepeople’s distrust.

DOONESBURY

CHICAGO (AP) — A long weekend of economic and security sum-mits was heavy on stagecraft and light on surprises.

The Group of Eight gathering in Camp David, Md., and the largergathering of NATO leaders in Chicago yielded agreements worked outin advance and already made public. Lengthy statements summingup the summit to-do lists were largely written before the leadersarrived.

Although the gatherings occurred in the midst of a Europeanfinancial crisis and looming threats in Syria, North Korea and Iran,any meaty discussions or disagreements took place out of earshot ofthe news media.

President Barack Obama, host for both events, came away with nounexpected accomplishments apart from concluding the gatheringswithout major mishap. There were no private conversations inconve-niently picked up by an open microphone or tales of drunken rompswith prostitutes by Obama’s Secret Service officers, as happened atthe last two international gatherings Obama attended.

In the custom of such assemblies, however, just having the meet-ings at all counts as a plus.

World leaders get a splashy moment to draw attention to impor-tant issues that often get short shrift in other settings, and they cantake one another’s measure. They can apply subtle pressure in publicon areas where they disagree, and sometimes talk tough in private.

That was the case at Camp David, where other leaders made sureRussian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev heard the rising outrageover violence in Syria, a Russian ally. Likewise in Chicago, Obamapointedly said Russia should drop its objections to NATO’s plannedmissile defense shield for Europe.

On the two most important issues at hand the economy andAfghanistan even the bland statements of agreement on what to donext convey shared purpose.

A problem for Obama is that whatever its merit, such diplomacytakes time and is a distraction from his re-election campaign.

Foreign policy is a cornerstone of being president. But it does notget you re-elected not in this economy.

Obama, like his Republican presidential challenger, Mitt Romney,would prefer to keep his public focus on creating jobs and helpingconsumers pay their bills because those basic domestic problems arealso his re-election problem.

Every political observer, and that includes Obama himself, says theelection will turn on the economy.

The calendar, though, is loaded with summits that demand hispresence (although he is planning to bail on this year’s Asia-Pacificforum in Russia because it falls during his party’s political conventionin September.)

Obama was just months on the job when he found himself attend-ing so many world forums that he joked of having a condition called“summititis.”

The forums do matter. They give world leaders the chance to speakwith one voice in trying to rescue the economy and heap pressure onrogue nations, although in doing so, the final declarations must oftenbe watered down to please all.

And so Obama emerged from the G-8 gathering of rich and power-ful nations with the ability to say there is an “emerging consensus”that Europe’s governments have to take actions to spur growth, notjust cut their way out of reducing debt. Tellingly, he used thatmoment to offer a campaign-sounding message for his economicvision for his own nation.

And he was able to stand up in Chicago and say there is a firmpath to ending the Afghanistan war.

Troy Daily News Editorial Board

Over the weekend, someonetried to steal my identity, whichnaturally led me to wonder — whowould really want to be me?

Apparently there’s a large mar-ket out there for people who wantto be middle-aged, overweight,Asian men who generally haveinsufficient funds in their check-ing account. Yeah, that’s exactlythe sort of person whose identity Iwould want to steal.

It all started Tuesday nightwhen I went to a local grocerystore to pick up my prescriptionmedication. I currently am takingdaily medications to deal withheartburn — yet another reasonwhy someone would want to beme, I’m certain — and when Iwent to pay for my subscription,by debit card was denied. FiguringI had insufficient funds — I hadspent most of my week’s paycheckon Moon Pies and penny whistlesover the weekend — I asked ifthat was the problem. The phar-macist said the computer told himto ask if I had another method ofpayment.

“Well, I do have a promissorynote from the Bank ofLichtenstein on me — do you takethose?”

As it turned out, they did not.He then informed me that my

card was not denied because I hadinsufficient funds and that Ishould probably go to my bank tosee exactly what the problem was.This, of course, presented a majorproblem, mostly because my wifehandles all the banking in ourfamily. She does not allow me tohandle money, because every timeshe does, we end up with purchas-es such as a 1971 Dodge Charger.Needless to say, I am kept as faraway from the money as humanlypossible.

At this point, I asked the phar-macist if he knew which bank Iused.

“It says right on the card,” hesaid. “Haven’t you ever noticedthat before?”

To which I politely informed

him that I had always kind ofoperated under the assumption itwas a magic card that allowed meto purchase anything I want and Ihad never really been to surewhere the money came from. Itwas always just sort of there.

Again, this is why I’m notallowed to handle any of thefinances in the Fong family.

Once I had figured out whichbank I use, I went to that bank.Once there, they proceeded to askme questions. Lots of questions.Difficult questions that I had noanswer to. Questions such as,“Your name, sir?”

Seriously, there was a wholeseries of questions they asked inorder to get to the bottom of what,exactly had happened to myaccount. Just to make things evenmore fun (and really, if there’s oneplace I go to have fun, it’s the localbank), at one point in the middleof the conversation, the bank tellerasked me if I would like toupgrade my checking account.

To which I replied, “Can I havesome money?”

Finally, they called over thebank manager, probably becausethe bank teller had grown tired ofdealing with a complete imbecile.

Finally, after roughly 15 minutesof me staring at her blankly whileshe tried to figure out exactly whymy debit card wasn’t working, wehad come to the conclusion thatsomeone had tried to make anunauthorized purchase with mycard.

That grand total of that pur-chase? Ninety-nine cents.

“So all this is over 99 cents?” Iasked.

She then explained to me thatmany times when someone is try-ing to steal someone’s identity,they will make a “probe” purchaseto see if anyone catches it. If theydon’t, they then proceed to makelarger, more extravagant purchas-es.

Fortunately, the bank hadcaught the probe, however, andput a stop to it before any majorpurchases could be made. So myidentity was safe and there stillwas only one of me in the world.

Which is good news, becauseI’m not sure the world is ready fortwo of me.

Especially bank tellers.

OBITUARIES

BY TOM MILLHOUSEOhio Community [email protected]

During better economic times,vacant homes with unsightly tallgrass were not a problem inCovington. However, with morehomes going into foreclosure,Covington Village Council membersagreed Monday night that a yardmaintenance ordinance is needed inorder to recoup the village’s expens-es for mowing the yards of vacanthomes mostly owned by banks.

“It seems like we’re adding ayard a week — I know we’re not, butit seems that way,” Mayor EdMcCord said of the problem of theyards of vacant homes not beingmowed after the occupants havemoved out. McCord said villageemployees are mowing five or sixyards on a regular basis. “We needsome sort of fee structure so weknow how much to assess,” McCordsaid, adding that a few years agomowing grass of vacant homes was-n’t an issue.

McCord said the problem is pri-marily bank-owned properties.“With local people, when we askthem, they comply (by cutting thegrass),” he said. “It’s the banks;there is no one to cover the costs.”

Solicitor Frank Patrizio said heresearched the yard maintenanceordinances of other communities inOhio.

Patrizio spoke favorably of thetall grass nuisance ordinance ofLakewood, located near Cleveland.The ordinance carries a minimumcharge of $100 for the first offenseof allowing grass or weeds to exceedsix inches in height, with the chargebeing upped to $200 for the secondoffense and $300 for the third andsubsequent offenses.

He explained that if the offend-ing property owner doesn’t pay thecharge, the penalty is assessed totheir taxes.

“We need something in placebecause obviously, this is a prob-lem,” said councilman Marc Basye.

He suggested there be an appealprocess for property owners to con-test the charge if they think it’sunfair.

Patrizio was directed to put anappeal process in an ordinance he isto prepare for the next councilmeeting.

Councilman Scott Tobias said hethought the proposed charge “ispretty stiff.”

Patrizio said with the cost of thevillage employees’ time, equipmentand the expense of Fiscal OfficerCarmen Siefring’s time preparingnotices to be sent to property own-ers, “I think $100 might not be suf-ficient.”

Council members agreed that thecharge could be waived in someinstances, such as in the case of eld-erly residents. There also was dis-cussion of making the height of thegrass more than six inches.

Council will again address theissue at the June 4 meeting.

Police Chief Lee Harmon advisedcouncil members that the popularcontemporary Christian band BigDaddy Weave will be performing atthe Fort Rowdy Gathering, set forOct. 6-7.

“We think there will be a prettybig crowd show up (for the concert),”Harmon said, noting a meeting isbeing planned with the Fort RowdyGathering committee to discussissues involving the concert.Harmon, McCord and other villageofficials will be attending the meet-ing. Council member Lois Newmanasked why Ohio Software ofColumbus, which has handled thevillage’s computer software in thepast, was not invited to give a pres-entation on village utility billingsoftware.

She said she received a call fromJim Schmitt of Ohio Software aftercouncil approved the contract.

Earlier this month, councilawarded the billing software con-tract to CMI of Englewood at a costof $21,753.

McCord said one of the reasonsOhio Software was not invited to

give a presentation on the billingsoftware is that the firm was askedby the Covington Board of PublicAffairs a few months ago to provideestimated billing software and theBPA was told the firm couldn’t dothat. The mayor went on to say howofficials with other villages servedby CMI expressed their satisfactionwith the company’s services.

Council President Doris Beemanalso said Ohio Software “is a one-man show, if anything happens tohim we’re done.” Beeman said incontrast, CMI has 50 employees toprovide customer service.

Newman said she was satisfiedwith the explanation.

Contacted Tuesday, Schmitt saidhe was surprised by the council’sawarding of the contract to CMIwithout giving him an opportunityto make a presentation.

“In 23 years of working with thevillage, I have never had a singleproblem,” Schmitt said. “The systemthey have runs like clockwork,”Schmitt said, contending he couldhave saved the village $17,000 onthe software system.

He also noted his company pro-vides software for other area vil-lages, including Bradford, Pittsburgand Gettysburg and has had nocomplaints from those communities.“We’ve never had a dissatisfied cus-tomer,” he said.

Schmitt also denied telling BPAofficials that his company couldn’thandle estimated utility billing.

McCord advised council mem-bers that the Covington MemorialDay Parade will begin at 1 p.m.Monday. Council will be participat-ing in the parade.

Council went into executive ses-sion to discuss the planned hiring ofa village administrator. McCordsaid no action was expected follow-ing the session. Village officialshave expressed a desire to have thefirst-ever administrator on the jobby July.

McCord said five candidates arebeing interviewed for the position.

New curriculum in math educa-tion for the next seven years wasunveiled by the Math CurriculumCommittee at Tipp City Board ofEducation’s meeting Monday night.

All math lessons will be availableonline for the students who want touse them, except for AP Statisticsand AP Calculus in high school.

Clay Lavercombe, a committeemember, said that they will not beusing online as much for these twocourses because they want to preparestudents for college.

“They’re not going to be using anyonline component in college,”Lavercombe said.

Fellow committe member DaleBonifas said that online was a strongcomponent that the committee want-ed in its math education, so thateverything that was accessed byteachers for class could be accessedby students online at home.

From kindergarten up to fifthgrade, the math committee memberschose GO Math!, which is publishedby Houghton Mifflin Harcourt.Whileeverything is available online, stu-dents will have the opportunity towrite in a workbook.

“The lessons are very user friend-ly,” Deb Haas, a committee member,said.

“The lessons are taught, appliedand practiced right in the workbook.”

Lessons are introduced throughCurious George (K-2) and CarmenSandiego (3-5).

For sixth to eighth grade, studentswill be using Glencoe Math books,which are published by GlencoeMcGraw/Hill.

Advanced middle school studentswill be able to use the same Algebraand Geometry books that high schoolstudents use so that they can have asmooth transition into high school.

High school students will mostly

be using math books published byPearson.

These will include Algebra I andII, Geometry, Pre-Calculus andCalculus for Business.

The high school will also useIntroduction to Statistics andCalculus books, published by HoltMcDougal.

Price changesAnother change for high school

students is the cost of a cafeterialunch.

High school students will see a 25cents increase in school lunches nextyear. Elementary lunches will cost$2.25, and high school lunches willcost $2.50.

Superintendent Dr. John Kronoursaid that one of the reasons theschool needed to increase the priceswas because of the new requirementsfor larger serving sizes of fruit andvegetables.

According to Gary Pfister, theschool’s Director of Services, this isthe first time in 15 years that theguidelines for school lunches havebeen updated.

Tipp City will once again contractwith Troy Christian Schools in the$13,000-range for transportation oftheir students for the coming schoolyear.

The two schools have done thissince 1995, and as of last fall, 68 TroyChristian students that reside in theTipp City district were enrolled inthis.

Tipp City will also hire Duro-LastRoofing Inc. and Roofing byInsulation Unlimited to re-roof LTBall Intermediate School over thelibrary and cafeteria for $53,900.40.The roof of Nevin CoppockElementary School will also berepaired for $15,000.

While Kronour said that there isno set date for these projects, the con-tracts will be signed in July.

Extracurricular activitiesAlso discussed at the board meet-

ing was Tippecanoe High’s prom,

held May 12 at Kettering Tower,which is the tallest building inDayton.

Board member Frank Maus saidthat he heard nothing but goodthings about it from different par-ents and students.

The board also heard an updateon bullying in the schools.

Kronour said that the school isfortunate that it doesn’t have muchbullying going on.

“I’m not going to say we’reimmune to it,” Kronour said. “We def-initely have from time to time somecases that come up.”

The middle school principal, GregSouthers, was present at the meetingand said that the middle school fol-lows the same policy as the rest ofthe school does.

A student or a student’s parentcan report an issue with any teacher,administrator, or guidance counselor.Whoever is told about the incidentwill then fill out a harassment formand inform the principal.

This summer, Tipp City Schoolswill offer a variety of summer pro-grams and opportunities. The testingwindow for the Ohio Graduation Testwill be from June 18 to July 1.

OdysseyWare, which is Tipp’scredit recovery program, will beginon June 11 and end on July 6.

From Aug. 6-10, OhioAchievement Assessments will beback for intervention with those inkindergarten to eighth grade.

Extended School Year (ESY),which is for students with specialneeds, will be held at the high schoolduring the weeks of July 9, 16 and23, for four days a week.

And the popular summer theaterprogram, StageCrafters, will returnfor those in grades 3-8 from June 11to June 22 with performances onJune 22 and 23 in the PerformingArts Center.

The next board of education meet-ing for Tipp City Schools will be June25 at 7 p.m.

WASHINGTON (AP) —Driving onto an Interstatehighway? Crossing a bridgeon the way into work?Taking a tunnel under ariver or bay? Get ready topay.

With Congress unwillingto contemplate an increasein the federal gas tax,motorists are likely to bepaying ever more tolls as thegovernment searches forways to repair and expandthe nation’s congested high-ways.

Tolling is less efficientand sometimes can seemless fair than the main alter-native, gasoline taxes.

It can increase traffic onside roads as motorists seekto evade paying. Sometolling authorities — oftenquasi-governmental agen-cies operating outside thepublic eye — have beenplagued by mismanagement.

And some public-privatepartnerships to build toll

roads have drowned in debtbecause of too-rosy revenuepredictions.

Tolls are hardly a perfectsolution.

But to many states andcommunities, they’re thebest option available.

“It’s very hard in thisenvironment for states toadd capacity without charg-ing a toll because they can’tafford to do it,” said JoshuaSchank, president of the EnoCenter for Transportation, aWashington think tank.“They’re barely able to main-tain what they’ve got, andthere is an urgent need forcapacity.” Some changesalready are under way.

In addition to the tollsallowed on Interstates in 15states, mostly in theNortheast and Midwest, theU.S. has agreed to pilot tollprojects on Interstate 95 inVirginia and North Carolinaand on Interstate 70 inMissouri.

the track team, she helped theVikings win the state title in vol-leyball and also started for thebasketball team, which finishedthe season as regional runner-up. And the junior admitted thatthe training regimen in thosesports has translated over totrack season.“Volleyball has helped my

Terrell — who finishedsixth atWednesday’s region-al by clearing 13-6 — isheaded to Ohio Dominicanin the fall to become the uni-versity’s first-ever polevaulter.“I’ll be able to make a

name for myself there nomatter what I do,” Terrellsaid. “I’m jumping there,and whenever I jump for thefirst time, it’ll be a schoolrecord.”Andwhile he’ll be blazing

new ground in the fall, onWednesday he was caughtup in a talented— andmas-sive — group of areavaulters. He couldn’t clearhis PR of 14-0, and by thetime he missed for the thirdtime, four others hadalready qualified.And as he sat off to the

side watching, they all tookturns coming by to congrat-ulate him on a great career.“There’s a great group of

guys in the area, in thisregional,” Terrell said.“We’re all friends, too.Whenit comes to competing, we’reall here to vault. But oncethat’s over, we’re all friends.“This is the second year

in a row I’ve been at theregional, but I didn’t get onthe podium last year. So thisyear I did better. And that’swhat high school was for.Progressing and getting bet-ter was what I was reallylooking for.”Which all prepared him

for his new role — as a trail-blazer.

• Just ShortBri Jumper and Alex

Dalton didn’t make it ontothe podium.But there’s no doubt

they’ll both be back at theregional getting anothershot.Both of Troy’s discus

throwers qualified for thefinal heat but ended up tak-ing ninth place, with Daltonthrowing 136-6 on the boysside and Jumper throwing114-5 on the girls.For the junior Jumper,

the pressure of topping lastseason’s sophomore effortmay have gotten to her.“It was nerves,” she said.

“I believed I could do it, but Iwas just too nervous. I didbetter last year (sixth). Thecompetition was really, real-ly tough.”With the state record

holder in the field in theboys competition, Dalton —a sophomore — took theopportunity to see where hestacked up as well as watchand learn.“I knew there was going

to be pretty good competi-tion,” Dalton said. “It wasgood to watch them.To placehigh, I would have had tobeat my PR, and that’s hardwhen you’ve already kind ofmaxed out. I was glad,though. I was hoping to dowell this year, but I didn’texpect to make the region-al.”With two more chances,

Dalton can only improve.“Coming into this year, I

didn’t even throw my fresh-man year,” he said. “I wasnew to it and getting used tothe bigger high school discstill. It feels bad that I didn’tmake the top eight by only acouple of feet, but I’ve gottwo more years.”And Jumper wants to

make sure that her finalseason with the team nextyear is a big one.“I’m excited this season’s

over, but I’m going to beworking hard over the sum-mer,” she said. “I’m going tocome back and be a beast.”The girls 4x800 team of

McKenna Poling, SarahAdkins, Leah Soutar andKatie-Grace Sawka alsocouldn’t qualify for state, fin-ishing 16th in 10:47.22.

high school careers came toan end.The 4x200 relay team of

Badertscher, Erica Comer,Allison Rawlins and Sarah

Janosik had the 12th-bestqualifying timewith 1:46.02,while the 4x100 team ofBadertscher, Sharpe,Rawlins and Janosik was14th with 51.05 seconds.It was the final time

Sharpe — a star basketballand soccer player headed toBrown University to contin-ue her basketball career —will suit up as a Red Devil inany sport.“I guess now I have to get

back in a gym,” Sharpe saidwith a laugh. “I liked run-ning track a lot. It’s so funand positive and all of thecoaches are great. It’s sad(that it’s ending). I had a lotof fun.”For Badertscher, the end

came one event too soon. Asshe took off for her leg of the4x100, she injured her footand couldn’t run in the 200,for which she’d also quali-fied.“It’s burning. I can’t even

jog. I can barely stand on it,”she said. “It’s so sad. I lovetrack so much. I love all ofthe people and the girls onthe team, and I’m reallygoing to miss it.”But it was obvious that

she’ll be missed, too — afterher injury, one of her team-mates was helping her getaround by carrying her onher back.Comer also ran in indi-

Segui may beforced to testifyvs. ClemensWASHINGTON (AP)

— Prosecutors finallyhave some momentum intheir perjury case againstRoger Clemens, even if itmeans dragging in formermajor leaguer DavidSegui, a witness who isapparently so reluctant totestify that the judgethreatened from thebench: “If he doesn’t showup, he’ll be arrested likeanyone else.”U.S. District Judge

Reggie Walton indicatedWednesday he was lean-ing heavily toward allow-ing prosecutors to callSegui and another witnessto counter an overallimpression left byClemens’ lawyers duringthe 6-week-old trial. Seguiis expected to say thatsometime around 2001 hewas told by Clemens’strength coach, BrianMcNamee, that McNameehad saved evidence frominjections of players to pla-cate a nagging wife.That would be consis-

tent with McNamee’s tes-timony last week — thathe kept waste from analleged steroids injectionof Clemens in 2001 andstored it in a beer can tosoothe things over athome. McNamee’s wife,according to McNamee,was concerned that hewould become the fall guyif his involvement withdrugs-in-baseball wereever exposed.But there’s a catch.

Prosecutor CourtneySaleski said Segui, whoretired in 2004 after 15major league seasons,“doesn’t want to come”even though he’s undersubpoena.Judge Walton’s

response: “You just tellhim if he’s under subpoe-na, he’d better be here.” Orelse, added the judge, “he’dbetter be on the runbecause the marshals willbe after him.”Clemens is accused of

lying to Congress in 2008when he said he had never

used steroids or humangrowth hormone, and atrial that appeared to begoing so well for the seven-time Cy Young Award win-ner has this week thrownhim a few curveballs.When Clemens’ lawyerRusty Hardin shared alaugh with the judge whilefighting an uphill battleagainst Segui’s testimony— “I don’t want to beat adead horse,” Hardin said— Clemens sat at thedefense table and didn’t somuch as crack a smile.Essentially, Hardin is

paying the price for histhree days of aggressivecross-examination ofMcNamee, who says heinjected Clemens withsteroids in 1998, 2000 and2001 and with HGH in2000. On Monday, thejudge ruled that Hardinhad opened the door forMcNamee to name otherplayers to whom he hadsupplied HGH, somethingthe defense had foughtvigorously to keep fromthe jury.Now the government —

and the judge appears toagree — says that Hardinwent too far in trying tobuild a case thatMcNamee started makingup charges and fabricatingevidence against Clemensaround 2007 as a way toappease federal agents.Walton said the jury is

left with the impressionthat “because the govern-ment had made these alle-gations, that he started togive themwhat they want-ed to stay out of harm’sway and avoid going toprison.”Segui and Anthony

Corso, who was one ofMcNamee’s private work-out clients in New YorkCity, could refute that.Corso is expected to testifythat he was told byMcNamee as early as 2002that Clemens used HGHand that in 2005 he wastold by McNamee aboutthe saved evidence fromthe 2001 injection.

the wall in right field,landing in the first row ofseats an estimated 355feet away.“I knew when I hit it

that I got a lot of it,”Frazier said. “I was hop-ing it was enough. It justgot over. Fine with me.”Aroldis Chapman (4-0)

kept his ERA perfect byfanning two of the threehe faced in the ninth. Theleft-hander hasn’t allowedan earned run in 24 1-3innings, ascending to the

closer’s role.The Reds will try for a

four-game sweep onThursday. They haven’tswept the Braves inCincinnati since the 1980season.“Right now, we’re

rolling,” said BronsonArroyo, who gave up fourhits in 6 2-3 innings. “Butit’s a rollercoaster, youknow.”The series has been an

extended game of homerun derby, with the Redsgetting the best of it.There have been 12homers in the threegames, eight of them byCincinnati.Frazier’s opposite-field

homer would have beenan out in most other ball-parks. At Great American,it was a game-winner.“Tough loss,” said

Braves starter TommyHanson, who gave up fourhits in six innings. “Butthere’s only so much youcan do. It kind of (stinks)to see that ball go into thefirst row and that’s howthe game is determined.“But that’s the ball-

park we’re playing in andwe have to deal with it.”

best throw of the season inthe discus at the 2011regional meet to earn astate berth. OnWednesday at the DivisionIII regional meet, he onceagain threw his best at theright time, hurling a 154-11 to edge Anna’s RyanSpicer (153-10) for first.Though he took a famil-

iar path to reach state,Christian hopes to makehis senior trip to the bigshow count.“Last year, I choked

pretty good. But this yearI have some experience, soI’m hoping that pays off,”Christian said. “It waskind of the same deal aslast year, though. I threw a154-3 or so, but nerves gotin the way at state. Thistime, I should be ready togo.”Christian will also com-

pete for a shot at state inthe shot put on Friday.Lane White, Dustin

Fickert and IsaiahWinston were all on theCovington 4x800 teamwhich qualified for statelast season.And now, those three —

along with freshman AlexSchilling — earned a tripback to the promised landonce again, placing fourthin the event in a time of8:15.45 seconds.Fickert got the Buccs

off to a great start — run-ning a 2:00 first split —leading the field after run-ning the first leg. Fromthere, Winston moveddown to third as Minsterand St. Henry — whichfinished the race one-two— surged to the top.“That start was pretty

good,” Fickert said. “I wasjust trying to make myfirst lap count and go fromthere. I liked where Iended up being.”When Schilling ended

the third leg, Coldwaterhad made a move up to thethird spot, which droppedCovington on the edge ofqualifying in fourth. ButWhite was able to anchorhome the state berth forthe Buccs as EmmanuelChristian anchor WesHaney had too much of adeficit to overcome.“I felt good on that last

lap,” White said. “I justwanted to run my race andhave a good time. Weended up pulling it out.”Minster won the race

Haslem suspended for Game 6MIAMI (AP) — Udonis

Haslem insists he meant noharm. The NBA deemedotherwise, and the MiamiHeat will be without one oftheir co-captains when theytry to close out the IndianaPacers on Thursday night.Haslem was suspended

for Game 6 of the Miami-Indiana Eastern Conferencesemifinal series, a matchupwhere emotions boiled overin a runaway Heat victoryon Tuesday night. The NBAalso saidMiami reserve cen-ter Dexter Pittman willmiss three games inresponse to his flagrant foulagainst Indiana backupguard Lance Stephenson inthe final seconds of Game 5.Indiana’s Tyler

Hansbrough was not sus-pended, although the leagueupgraded his foul againstMiami’s Dwyane Wade to aflagrant-2 on Wednesday —which, if called that way

during Game 5, would havebrought an automatic ejec-tion. Hansbrough struckWade in the head, opening acut over his right eye.Moments later, Haslemcommitted a flagrant foulagainst Hansbrough, clearlyin response to the playagainst Wade.So while Haslem sits

Thursday, Hansbrough mayplay.“It’s very disappointing,

obviously,” Miami forwardShane Battier saidWednesday night. “Butwe’re a resilient group. …The verdict process is amystery to players, and sowe don’t get caught up in it.We can’t control it.We knowthe NBA’s going to do whatthey feel they need to do andwe need to live with the con-sequences. So it’s really outof our hands, not worth get-ting riled up. We’re going toput together an effort thatwill make Udonis andDexter proud.”The Heat lead the series

3-2, after a 115-83 winTuesday night in a gamethat had the three flagrantfouls on the court, accusa-tions of dirty play afterwardand finally with Pacersteam president Larry Birdtelling The IndianapolisStar that his teamwas “soft”in Game 5.“I agree with his assess-

ment. We did play soft,”Indiana’s Danny Grangersaid Wednesday. “We gotsmacked around. We gotbeat up, we got bullied, andwe really didn’t respondwell.”Countered Miami’s

LeBron James, the NBA’sreigning MVP: “He’s justtrying to amp them up.That’s all. That’s all it is. Heknows his team isn’t soft.But with them, with theirbacks against the wall atthis point, he knows whathe’s doing.He’s not the exec-utive of the year for no rea-son.”Pittman logged only six

minutes in the playoffs any-

way, his presence in thepostseason barely noticeduntil he laid out Stephenson— who made at least onechoke sign toward Jamesearlier in the series — witha forearm to the chin andshoulder areas.“Hard fouls are part of

the playoffs,” Indiana coachFrank Vogel saidWednesday. “Fouls to thehead have no place in thisgame, not by us, not byMiami, not by any otherteam in any other series.With all the concussionresearch that’s been goingon over the last few yearsit’s a very serious matterand it just doesn’t have anyplace in the game.”Wade sounded somewhat

amused that Granger —who’s been whistled forthree technicals in theseries — was one of thePacers suggesting Haslemand Pittman should be sus-pended. Wade and Grangerhave had words during theseries.

Designed to elevate the ball on the tee-off,the tee has evolved considerably over theyears. This simple little wooden peg has madea lot of progress and still remains an impor-tant accessory for golfers.The time is long gone when players used a pile

of sand to elevate the ball! The arrival of thewooden tee not only allowed golfers to improvetheir drives but also to avoid damaging the grasson the tee-offs. Tees have becomemuchmore so-phisticated over the years. These days they aremade mainly from variously coloured wood orplastic. Some golfers prefer the traditionalwooden tees for their effectiveness, while otherswill opt for those made in plastic because oftheir greater durability.Large manufacturers of golf equipment are

constantly searching for improvements and awide variety of tees are now available on themarket. One option is the wooden tee in twocolours and varying lengths, while the range ofplastic tees is more elaborate. Apart from con-ventional tees it is also possible to obtain “zerofriction” tees, where the ball is placed on threesmall supports. There are also oversized “brush”

tees that reduce the rotation of the ball and teesof adjustable heights. Biodegradable tees madeof bamboo are also available in specializedstores.It’s hard to believe that one of the smallest and

most useful accessories continues to help golfersimprove their game!

A tiny piece of equipment in constant evolution

What could be better than spending an en-joyable day on the golf course with the peopleyou love? That’s right! Golf is one of the mostpopular sports for socializing, relaxing, issu-ing challenges, and getting lots of fresh air, allat the same time!The time is long gone when golf clubs were

the privileged domain of business men and offlimits to women! Today, more and more golfclubs offer various packages so that all themembers of a family have access to theircourses. Many clubs offer annual member-ships to couples or families, allowing parentsto plan regular rounds of golf with their chil-dren. As well as the pleasure of sharing thesame passion, golf allows families to spendquality time together.If the members of your family aren’t all at

the same level, playing at an executive golfcourse (par 3 and 4) will provide a good initi-ation for beginners and a different challengeto the more experienced. To add a competitiveelement to a family round, why not changepartners from time to time, forming father-daughter, mother-son teams, etc.A great idea for your next family vacation is

to find a destination where you can enjoy thepleasures of golf together. Travel specialistswill be able to advise you about foreign travelpackages or holiday resorts which specializein golf and family activities.

Playing golfwith the family

Golf is a great sport for spending anenjoyable day with all the family.

An approach shot requireslots of concentration.

Getting to the greenon par (one shot for apar 3, two for a par 4,and three for a par 5) isnot an easy thing toachieve for the averagegolfer. Even the bestprofessional playersmanage to maintain a70 percent success ratewith difficulty. That iswhy it is so importantto get good results fromyour approach shots.Any expert will tell

you that the gamearound the green is oneof the most important,if not the most impor-tant element of yourgolf game. Well-exe-cuted approach shotscan help you play onpar or reduce yourscore by the end of theround.In a radius of 25 to 35

metres from the green,the choice of clubshould take into ac-

count the presence orabsence of obstacles,the slope of the green,and the position of theflag.If your ball is posi-

tioned right behind asand trap you will haveto lob the ball and limitits roll. A pitchingwedge or sand wedgewould be appropriatefor this type of shot.The fluidity of theswing and the position(a little closer to theball with a swingingmovement) are the twoelements needed for asuccessful shot. Beforehitting the ball, be sureto visualize the spotwhere you want the ballto land.If no obstacle is pres-

ent, use the club whichyou are most comfort-able with. Near thegreen, a short swingwith a 4 or 5 iron willenable you to roll theball near the target.Be particularly care-

ful to avoid a hesitantswing and plan tospend some time on thepractice range in orderto work on your “short”game. This is guaran-teed to have a positiveeffect on your scorecard.

Approach shots makeall the difference

The importance of the mindGolf is a complex game. As well as having to

master techniques, golfers must also be able tocontrol their emotions. It’s all true that there isplenty to enjoy in the fresh air and social aspectsof the game, but players must also realize thatgolf is a sport in which the mind plays a vital role.Experts will tell you that golfers spend an av-

erage of 90 percent of their time on the golfcourse thinking and 10 percent swinging and hit-ting the ball. This is why it’s so important to makethe right decisions.Whether you’re a regular, occasional, or profes-

sional golfer, the object of the game stays thesame. Apart from mastering techniques, golf re-quires concentration and will power. A good bal-ance between discipline, the control ofmovements, and the psychological aspects of thegame will add to your enjoyment and lead to suc-

cess in this demanding sport.The first thing to realize is that you are, above

all, playing for yourself and not for your part-ners. Set your objectives and give yourself themeans of reaching them. Appreciate your goodshots and learn to accept the poor ones.Did you miss a shot because you lifted your

head or because your shoulders weren’t in theright position? Tell yourself that this lack of con-centration is behind you. In other words don’tdwell on the past, continually thinking about thereasons for missing the shot, as this could wellhaunt you for the rest of the round.Success in golf largely depends on your ability

to concentrate, to master the techniques of visu-alization, of positive thinking, and self-confi-dence. In other words, you are the master of yourown destiny!

Our work has still beencentered around the recenthouse fire that we experi-enced. My husband Joedoesn’t have to work the nexttwo days so we are movingthe furniture from our bed-rooms upstairs to the down-stairs and basement. We willset the beds up in the base-ment for the girls to sleep in.The boys are sleeping on abed in the living room now.The carpenters that are

working on the rebuildingsaid that a sealant will haveto be applied to the walls andthe floors to block out thesmoke smell. They discoveredthat there was more heat andwater damage than realizedwhen I wrote about this aweek ago.Elizabeth’s bedroom has to

all be redone as well. Herbedroom seems to be theworst after the boys bedroom.We are living a little crowdednow with all of their belong-ings and bedroom furnituredown here.I can’t believe all the

things the girls have accumu-

lated through the years. I toldthe girls they are fortunate tobe able to clean the smokefrom their things since theboys don’t have anything leftto clean.They lost everything that

was in their bedroom.The damage wasn’t just

upstairs either. Part of theceiling had to be redone inthe kitchen and dining room.It needs another layer of dry-wall mudding and then it isready to sand and paint.We will have to repaint the

whole ceiling since our livingroom, dining room andkitchen ceiling are all com-bined. I have decided to paintthe walls too since we will bepainting anyway. We havebeen living in this house forfive years now so it will fresh-en everything up especiallynow since it was all smokedup.We cancelled our plans to

hold church services in June.I could not see us getting allthe painting, cleaning and soforth done with only fourweeks left. We will instead

take our turn twice next year.I feel so much more relaxednow to clean without thatdeadline looming. Our plansare just to work on finishingall the upstairs bedroomsbefore moving all the chil-dren’s things back upstairs. Itlooks like a long, busy sum-mer ahead. And along witheverything else going on weare trying to fill our gardensup.We put out 84 tomato

plants this week. We are outof tomato juice so I need tofill those jars again withhomemade juice. Lovina hadher eighth birthday on Fridaythe 18th. We were so busyputting in our first cutting ofhay and cleaning up from thefire that we didn’t take timeto celebrate her birthday. Ialso had to take Loretta tophysical therapy and pick upsome groceries. By the time Iwas done with all that it wastime to make supper.It was a hot day to put up

hay but we got 212 bales fromthe hay field. Joe was glad forthe hay as he had just run

out. I asked Lovina if weshould have cake and icecream tonight for her birth-day. She suggested havingchocolate cupcakes instead sowe will do that.Tomorrow, the 22nd, we

celebrate another birthday formy 41st. I survived a year ofthe 40s and it has not beenquite as bad as I thought.When Joe turned 40 I hadgiven him a coffeecup thatsaid “40 isn’t old if you are atree.”Last year on my birthday,

Joe gave the cup to me. Ithink I will pass it along tomy brother-in-law Jacob who

will be 40 in November.We have been very thank-

ful for the items donated to ussince the fire. I also want tothank all the readers for theirhelp. It is used to help toreplace shoes, clothes, and soforth for the boys. May Godbless everyone for their kind-ness.

Dear Readers: Rememberthe demonstrations in school:a raw egg cradled in an insu-lated foam head dropped ontothe gym floor, teaching howfragile our heads are?With summer on the way

and kids spending morehours outdoors for a nice bikeride, here’s a little reminderabout biking safety:• Pick a helmet that fits

you well, is smooth on theoutside and has a sticker cer-tifying that it meets theConsumer Product SafetyCommission standard. Fittingthe CPSC standard is a law— to be sure you’re safe.

• Always wear your hel-met level, covering your fore-head, with the straps fas-tened securely under yourchin.• The best helmet to buy

isn’t always the most expen-sive! The Bicycle Helmet

Safety Institute (www.bhsi.org) states that regard-less of price, the protectionfrom impact is equal acrossthe board for CPSC-approvedhelmets. Prices can rangefrom $10 to $200.• Wearing a helmet

doesn’t give you license to bereckless, but it will provideprotection in case somethingdoes happen. Be sure to wearone ever time you ride.Be safe, have fun and enjoy

being outside. — HeloiseNEW BATTERIES

Dear Heloise: All themedia suggest changing bat-teries in our smoke alarm

when the time changes.Since daylight saving time

is now for nearly eightmonths, this leaves batteriesin twice as long as “regulartime.” I change ours Jan. 1and July 4.This equals battery time of

six months each, and they arevery easy dates to remember.— J.B. in Atlanta, TexasYou can do this if you like,

but according to theConsumer Product SafetyCommission, once a year isfine for changing the batter-ies in smoke and carbon-monoxide detectors. —Heloise

YESTERDAY’S SOLUTION:

Dear Annie: My father and Ihave never had the best relation-ship. He was domineering, control-ling and verbally abusive to me asa teenager, and as a result, Irebelled and did things specificallyto irritate him. Several times, hekicked me out of the house, sayingI forced him to behave the way hedid. I always apologized because itwas easier if I kept the peace.

Three years ago, my parentsseparated. Just before Mom and Imoved out, Dad and I got into ahuge argument, and he nearlypunched me. I did not speak tohim for six months. Since then,there's been a thaw in our rela-tionship. He even apologized(which he never does) and seemedmore understanding. When I sawhim at Christmas, we had a greattime together.

However, he hasn't spoken tome since then. There was no fightor argument. I've tried to call himseveral times to make plans orjust talk, and he has ignored mycalls and doesn't respond to myvoicemails. He broke every coffeedate I made, and instead of tellingme, he informed my brother ormom that he couldn't make it.

Dad is obviously avoiding me,but I have no idea why. I'm tiredof his imaginary issues and"nobody loves me" attitude. ShouldI confront him and find out whyhe stopped talking to me or forgethim? — Confused andExhausted

Dear Confused: Your relation-ship with your father is tenuous,and it's possible that maintaininghis equilibrium around you isstressful for him.And although hisbehavior may be difficult, yourresponse likely has its flaws, too.If you want to know what's goingon, please ask your mother orbrother to intercede on your behalfand find out whether you haveunintentionally done something toaggravate the relationship andhow you can repair it. Learning toget along with someone who push-es all your buttons requires ongo-ing effort. Since it's your father,we think it's worth another try.

Dear Annie: I am boiling mad.My boyfriend has an adult sonwho is autistic. After he and hisex separated, she started tellingthe son horrible lies about both ofus.

The son believes her and nowwants nothing to do with hisfather or me. The boy used tospeak to us, but now runs theother way when he sees us com-ing.

What can we do about this?Please don't say talk to the ex-wife. She is the source of the prob-lem. My boyfriend is paying childsupport but doesn't get to spendany time with his son. Also, wesuspect little of the money isgoing for the child's benefit. —The Girlfriend

Dear Girlfriend: Since yourboyfriend is still paying child sup-port, he may be entitled to regu-larly enforced visitation with hisson. Also, some courts are begin-ning to recognize and addressparental alienation. Please sug-gest to your boyfriend that he dis-cuss his options with a lawyerwho has experience in this area.

Dear Annie: I read the letterfrom "Jim in Peoria," who hasbeen married for 42 years and hiswife won't "allow" him to do anyof the household chores.

I am thoroughly appalled thatmen do not stand up for them-selves, all in the name of keepingpeace in the house. I am adivorced man. This woman shouldbe thankful her husband wants todo something to balance out thechores. Nobody could tell me Icouldn't wash dishes, cook or doanything else in my own house.He has just as much of aright to do what he wants in thathouse as she does. Walkingaround on eggshells in your ownhome is NOT worth a marriagecertificate. — Danny inShreveport

Financial Industry RegulatoryAuthority, the self-policing bodyfor the securities industry, saidTuesday that the question is “amatter of regulatory concern” forhis organization and theSecurities and ExchangeCommission.The top securities regulator for

Massachusetts, William Galvin,said he had subpoenaed Morgan

Stanley. Galvin said his office isinvestigating whether MorganStanley divulged to only someclients that one of its analystshad cut his revenue estimates forFacebook before the stock hit themarket on Friday.The bank said late Tuesday

that it “followed the same proce-dures for the Facebook offeringthat it follows for all IPOs,” refer-ring to initial public offerings ofstock. It said that its procedurescomplied with regulations.The questions about the role

played by Morgan Stanley, thelead underwriter for the deal, addto the confusion surroundingFacebook’s IPO. In the most hotlyanticipated stock debut in years,the offering raised $16 billion forthe social networking company,valuing it at $104 billion.

After deal on probes,Iran seeks concessionsfrom world powersBAGHDAD — Iran is demand-

ing that world powers set specifictimetables and goals in talksWednesday over Tehran’s nuclearprogram, a senior Iranian gov-ernment official said before a sec-ond round of negotiations.The push for milestones by

Iran reflects apparent efforts toforce concessions from the Weston sanctions in exchange forgradually addressing internation-al concerns over the IslamicRepublic’s nuclear ambitions.Tehran hopes to leave

Baghdad with a clear frameworkfor future talks and potentialdealmaking, the official said.Western diplomats have voicedsimilar concerns, although fewbelieve the discussions inBaghdad will yield break-throughs in the showdowns overIran’s nuclear program.The U.S. and allies fear Iran

could use its nuclear expertise tobuild atomic weapons.Iran claims it only seeks

nuclear reactors for energy andresearch.Iranian negotiators, who met

with Iraqi Prime Minister Nourial-Maliki hours before the talkswere to open, would not identifyany specific offers or benchmarksthey wanted to see by the day’send.

THE WORLD IN BRIEF Additional detailsemerge in SecretService scandalWASHINGTON (AP) —

Senators investigating theSecret Service prostitutionscandal said Wednesdaythat dozens of reportedepisodes of misconduct byagents point to a culture ofcarousing in the agencyand urged Director MarkSullivan to get past hisinsistence that the romp inCartagena was a one-timemistake.The disconnect between

the senators and Sullivanreappeared again andagain throughout the two-hour hearing, even as theSecret Service chief for thefirst time apologized for theincident that tarnished theelite presidential protectionforce. By the end, Sullivan’sjob appeared secure even asnew details emerged thatleft little doubt, senatorssaid, that a pattern of sexu-al misbehavior had takenroot in the agency.“He kept saying over

and over again that hebasically does think thiswas an isolated incidentand I don’t think he hasany basis for that conclu-sion,” said Sen. SusanCollins of Maine, the seniorRepublican on theHomeland Security panelthat heard Sullivan’s firstpublic accounting of theepisode.“For the good of the

Secret Service,” added Sen.Joe Lieberman ofConnecticut, the panelchairman, “he’s got toassume that what hap-pened in Cartagena wasnot an isolated incident orelse it will happen again.”Still, Sullivan insistedrepeatedly that in his 29-year Secret Service careerhe had never heard anyonesay that misconduct wascondoned, implicitly or oth-erwise.“I just do not think that

this is something that issystemic within this organ-

ization,” Sullivan said.The misconduct became

public after a dispute overpayment between a SecretService agent and a prosti-tute at a Cartagena hotelon April 12. The SecretService was in theColombian coastal resortfor a Latin American sum-mit before Obama’s arrival.Twelve employees wereimplicated, eight of themousted, three cleared ofserious misconduct and oneis being stripped of hissecurity clearance. Sullivansaid two who initiallyresigned now are fightingfor their jobs back.“These individuals did

some really dumb things,”Sullivan told the Senatepanel. “I’m hoping I canconvince you that it isn’t acultural issue.”He didn’t make much

progress on that front, assenators offered fresh evi-dence of what they consid-ered reckless behavior.Lieberman said 64 allega-tions or complaints of sexu-al misconduct were madeagainst Secret Serviceemployees in the last fiveyears.Three of those,

Lieberman said, were com-plaints of inappropriaterelationships with a foreignnational and one of “non-consensual intercourse,” onwhich he didn’t haveenough information to elab-orate. Sullivan said thatcomplaint was investigatedby outside law enforcementofficers, who decided not toprosecute.Thirty other cases

involved alcohol, Lieber-man said, almost all relat-ing to driving under theinfluence.Sullivan also told the

committee an agent wasfired in a 2008 Washingtonprostitution episode, aftertrying to hire an uncoverpolice officer.
