Real estate taxes protests union limits
due Friday
Allen County Treasurer
Jim Link reminds resi-
dents first-half real estate
taxes are due Friday.
The office will be open
until 4:30 p.m. through
Friday to accept payments
that otherwise must be
postmarked by Friday to be
considered paid on time.
Superior Federal Credit
Union offices will also accept
payments and are open until
5 p.m. daily with drive-
throughs open until 6 p.m.
“Residents can also drop
off a check with the tax stub
at any credit union and it is
just like one of my employ-
ees is receiving it,” Link said.
“Taxpayers need to be mind-
ful of mail issues and be sure
to put checks in mail collec-
tion boxes before the pick-up
time. Items put in collection
boxes on Friday may not get
postmarked Friday. To ensure
postmarking, items should be
taken inside the post office.”
A 10 percent fee will
be added if payments
are not received or post-
marked by Friday.
Payments dropped
off at a Superior Federal
Credit Union office before
5 p.m. may be made in
cash. Taxpayers will be
asked to fill out a cashier’s
check. If using the drive
through between 5-6 p.m.,
a check will be needed.
“According to the law,
the credit union cannot keep
a cash payment designated
for the treasurer’s office,”
Link said. “So cash pay-
ments need to be converted
to a cashier’s check.”
The treasurer’s office does
not accept credit card pay-
ments. Instructions are on
the back of the tax bill for
making credit card payments
over the phone or Internet.

COLUMBUS — Hundreds
of union protesters again
packed the Statehouse in pro-
test on Tuesday as govern-
ment officials from around
the state lined up in support
of a bill that would wipe
out Ohio’s nearly 30-year-old
collective bargaining law and
make other union changes.
A crowd of firefighters,
police officers and other pub-
lic employees overflowed
the hearing room, pack-
ing cat walks and filling
the Statehouse Atrium and
Rotunda to standing-room-
only capacity for much of the
afternoon. It was the second
week that hearings on the bill
drew such crowds.
The Senate bill, sponsored
by Republican state Sen.
Shannon Jones, would elimi-
nate collective bargaining
rights and salary schedules
for public employees across
the state. GOP Gov. John
Kasich has expressed his sup-
port for the bill in concept,
but he has also signaled he
may bring forth his own plan
that could go even further
— including banning public
employee strikes.
During hours of testimo-
ny piped by large speakers
throughout the Statehouse,
John Lazarus, superinten-
dent of the Warren County
Educational Services Center,
was among those advocating
the changes. He told senators
that citizens have become
savvy and understand how

Elida eyeing Columbus, funding

ELIDA — The upcom-
ing vote on Ohio Senate Bill
5 took center stage during
the school board meeting
here Tuesday. If passed, the
bill will eliminate collective
bargaining for state employ-
ees and limit the negotiat-
ing powers of public unions.
According to Superintendent
Don Diglia, Elida has been
preparing for just such a situ-
ation.
“This coming week should
be pretty exciting for those
who like controversy in their
legislature,” he said. “This
will affect everyone, not just
with the budget the way it
is. It’s been said it’ll be the
worst state budget we’ve seen
since the Great Depression,”

“We’re not
allowed to strike
like other city
workers, so when
you take away
collective
bargaining, we
have no rights at
all. Our employ-
er has the
final say.”
— Protester Chris Weaver,
a Youngstown firefighter
teacher unions are affecting
district budgets.
He told the Senate
Insurance, Commerce &
Labor Committee some relief
from collective bargaining and
binding arbitration could allow
school districts to restore pub-
lic confidence amid increasing
levy rejections.
“The fact is public percep-
tion has largely turned against
school districts forced to ask
for levies every three to five
years,” he said, emphasiz-
ing union parameters need to
change to turn things around.
A parade of local gov-
ernment officials delivered a
similar message, advocating
added flexibility in nego-
tiating contracts with their
unions.
Protester Chris Weaver,
a Youngstown firefighter,
said the law has meant better
he said. “Sometimes there
are obstacles to how we han-
dle the district but at least
if some funding goes away,
then some mandates will go
away. We’ve begun to move
some earned interest from the
construction fund over to the
general fund. I think it’s a
solid business decision to pay
off some debt now while the
interest is at four percent and
try to avoid being a burden to
the general fund and over the
next six months get creative
and buttress it to see how
much we can save.”
Diglia agreed.
“I think that we here at
Elida aren’t exactly in a posi-
tion where we need to be
looking too hard at where
we’re at. Joel has done a great
job of helping us prepare for
what’s coming, making cuts
were we can. We’ve had a
lot of success with that,” he
said.
Diglia also brought up the
new high school and how the
stress level has been raised
as construction nears comple-
tion.

working conditions for fire-
fighters. He said collective
bargaining has resulted in pay
freezes and cuts throughout
the state.
“We’re not allowed to
strike like other city workers,
so when you take away col-
lective bargaining, we have
no rights at all,” he said. “Our
employer has the final say.”
At a union-sponsored press
conference on the bill ear-
lier Tuesday, Republican city
worker Leo Geiger accused
Kasich and other Republicans
of attacking collective bar-
gaining for political purpos-
es.
“It does nothing to help
the budget woes because it’s
political payback for those
who did not support them in
the election,” he said.
Kasich showed no signs of
bowing to pressure.
Asked whether the num-
ber of people showing up
to committee hearings on
collective bargaining would
have any influence on him, he
said, “All we’re doing in this
business is to make sure that
cities can manage their costs
so taxpayers don’t get caught
holding the bag, driving busi-
nesses out of their communi-
ties and jobs. Just think about
the city of Brooklyn, which
may drive American Greeting
out because they were not
smart, to restore some bal-
ance between management
and labor. I mean this is com-
mon sense.”
He said Ohio’s 1983 law

“The new high school
seems like it’s been there
forever now. We’ve got 21
months of work done on it
and we’re getting close to
the end,” he said. “The stress
now is incredible, trying to
make sure we have every-
thing we need to make that
transition. While it is stress-
ful, it’s a positive and excit-
ing kind of stress.”
Board member Sally
Ulrich also expressed excite-
ment over the building’s
upcoming completion.
“It’s beautiful, Don, it real-
ly is,” she addressed Diglia.

drug sting
BY MIKE FORD
mford@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS — The war
on drugs is comprised of a
series of battles conducted by
law enforcement at all lev-
els. Cops in large cities and
small towns alike engage the
issue at street-level. Locally,
one of the key participants
in combating illegal narcotics
has been selected as the 2010
Delphos Police Department
Officer of the Year.
Chief Kyle Fittro says his
department is represented at
the West Central Ohio Crime
Task Force by Investigator
Benjamin Becker. The task
force is comprised of officers
from various agencies and is
headquartered in Lima. Its
primary purpose is to enforce
narcotics laws within its geo-
graphic area.
Becker was instrumental
in conducting a major sting
operation in Delphos last
year.
“In 2009 leading into 2010,
we observed that the illicit
use and sale of narcotics was
on the rise within the City
of Delphos. Drug trafficking
and drug addiction within
the community always lead
to ‘spin off’ crimes such as
theft, assault, property dam-
age, burglary and domestic
violence to name a few. This
type of activity is corrosive to
the community in a multitude
of ways. Investigator Becker
began investigative measures
in an attempt to combat this
problem. He began the pains-
taking task of putting togeth-
er a large-scale investigation
geared at crippling the drug
trade within the city,” Fittro
Village facing chronic
barking dog issue
BY SANDY LANGHALS
FORT JENNINGS —
A frustrated Police Chief
Ethel Vaughn gave village
council an earful Tuesday
night during the body’s
monthly meeting. At issue:
barking dogs.
Vaughn talked about
the daily complaints she
receives concerning a local
resident with barking dogs.
She said she also has four
written complaints she took
to the prosecutor but was
told that because the resi-
dents do not have money
and there is a mental situa-
tion, the judge would prob-
ably throw it out.
Vaughn has visited the
residence in question on
numerous occasions about
the complaints but nothing
is being done to resolve
the issue. She went fur-
ther to say the residents
keep moving more people
and animals into the home.
Vaughn contacted the dog
warden but was told the
dogs have tags, so there
is nothing they can do to
help.
To council’s knowledge,
the residents in question
do not own the home and
the owners are not paying
the mortgage. Vaughn was
directed to call the mortgage
company to discuss starting
the foreclosure process.
Fort Jennings Schools
have asked council to
review the district’s sewer
bill, stating that the numbers
are based on 1998 and their
enrollment has decreased
since then. Council dis-
cussed that there is a for-
mula used to figure the bill.
Mayor Jim Smith calculated
Delphos, Ohio
Becker
said.
That work paid off in a
large drug raid last year, one
of the heftiest stings ever per-
formed in Delphos.
“On May 14, 2010, his
efforts were culminated when
approximately 30 officers
descended on Delphos. This
led to the arrest of 19 people
on 58 separate felony drug-
related charges. This was the
largest single roundup of peo-
ple that had occurred within
Delphos for nearly 30 years.
It was his extraordinary effort
that helped to make Delphos
a better place to live,” he
said.
Fittro explains that Becker
has not rested. Like a football
team after a big win, he resist-
ed the temptation to celebrate
for too long.
“After this large case had
been culminated, Becker
did not decrease his level of
aggressiveness. During the
rest of 2010, he worked cases
against three more Delphos
individuals for drug traffick-
ing which resulted in nine
more indictments being
issued. Officers also executed
four separate search warrants
See BECKER, page 3
the bill with the new num-
bers given to him and he
estimates the school would
save approximately $90 a
month.
Council questioned
if this adjustment would
be necessary because the
school is not charged for
the added usage during ball
games and other functions.
In addition, council stat-
ed if it adjusted the bill,
members thought it might
be necessary to review the
numbers each year due to
fluctuation. Council has
decided to table the request
until it can review the num-
bers and come up with a
fair solution.
A representative from
the Fort Jennings Park
Board updated council on
the success of an ongoing
fundraiser. He told coun-
cil 1,068 tickets were sold,
with more than 500 sold
by six Fort Jennings stu-
dents.
In other news, council
agreed to purchase a used
dump-bed John Deere Gator
to be used by the park and
village for $3,500.
Mayor Smith notified
council he received a quote
from the company that con-
ducts village sewer samples
to provide the same services
for water. Smith asked to be
provided with information
as to what they are paying
now so council could dis-
cuss options.
Council went into exec-
utive session to discuss
employment issues and
conducted no further busi-
ness before adjourning.
The next meeting will
begin at 7:30 p.m. on March
15 in the village library.

Bahrain protesters urge
more pressure on rulers
By HADeeL
AL-sHALCHi
the Associated Press
MANAMA, Bahrain —
Protesters demanding sweep-
ing political reforms from
Bahrain’s rulers held their
ground today in an Egypt-
style occupation of the capi-
tal’s landmark square, staging
a third day of demonstrations
that have brought unprec-
edented pressure in one of
Washington’s most strategic
allies in the Gulf.
Security forces have pulled
back sharply — apparently
on orders to ease tensions
— after clashes that left at
least two people dead and
dozens injured. Police heli-
copters, however, flew low
over a major funeral proces-
sion for one of the victims in
which mourners called him a
“martyr” and pledged more
protests in the island nation
— home to the U.S. Navy’s
5th Fleet.
Thousands of people spent
the night in a makeshift tent
camp in Manama’s Pearl
Square, which was swarmed
by demonstrators a day ear-
lier. One demonstrator used
a bullhorn to urge protesters
to remain until their demands
are met, as the Arab wave for
change takes hold in the Gulf.
The protests began Monday

as a cry for the country’s
Sunni monarchy to loosen its
grip, including hand-picking
most top government posts,
and open more opportuni-
ties for the country’s major-
ity Shiites, who have long
complained of being blocked
from decision-making roles.
But the uprising’s demands
have steadily reached further.
Many protesters are calling
for the government to provide
more jobs and better housing
and free all political detain-
ees. Increasingly, protesters
are also chanting slogans to
wipe away the entire ruling
dynasty that has led Bahrain
for more than 200 years.
Social networking web-
sites were abuzz with calls
to press ahead with the pro-
tests as well as insults from
presumed government back-
ers calling the demonstrators
traitors and agents of Shiite
powerhouse Iran.
The head of the largest
Shiite political bloc, Sheik
Ali Salman, said there are no
demands for an Islamic role
in politics.
“We are not looking for
a religious government like
Iran’s, but we demand a civil
government” that represents
Shiites and Sunnis, he told a
news conference.

PHOENIX (AP) — Henry
Morello prayed to Saint
causes. But as the 84-year-old
spent a fifth night stuck in a
ditch in the Arizona desert, he
started to lose hope.
“My phone went dead, my
battery went dead, and I went
dead,” Morello said.
But Morello lived to tell
his tale Tuesday at a Phoenix
hospital, where the diabetic
man was admitted in good
condition despite drinking
windshield wiper fluid to stay
hydrated.
He didn’t have water,
Morello said, so he broke open
the wiper fluid container with
a rock and filtered it with nap-
kin to try to make it safe.
Morello said he made a
wrong turn while driving home
Feb. 7 from the Phoenix sub-
urb of Cave Creek and ended
up stuck in the desert north of
the city, near the state’s major
north-south road for Grand
Canyon-bound travelers.

lence against demonstrators.
Bahrain’s state TV gave
limited reports on the pro-
tests.
The pan-Arab broadcaster
Al-Jazeera, founded by the
emir in nearby Qatar, also
gave sporadic coverage. That
compares with nearly round-
the-clock attention to Egypt’s
turmoil, suggesting worry by
Qatar’s Sunni rulers about
the unrest coming to their
doorstep.
Britain’s minister for
Middle East and North
Africa, Alistair Burt, said he
“concerned by the reports
of excessive use of force by
police” in Bahrain.
“I call on all sides to exer-
cise restraint and refrain from
violence,” said Burt.
U.S. State Department
spokesman P.J. Crowley said
Tuesday the Obama administra-
tion is “very concerned” about
violence against protesters.
“The United States wel-
comes the government of
Bahrain’s statements that it
will investigate these deaths,
and that it will take legal
action against any unjusti-
fied use of force by Bahraini
security forces,” Crowley
said. “We urge that it follow
through on these statements
as quickly as possible.”
Morello said he became
stranded when — realizing he
took a wrong turn — he made a
U-turn and wound up in a ditch.
He tried to crawl out of the car,
but did not get far and returned.
He ripped a chrome piece
from his car and put it on the
roof, hoping someone would
see the reflection.
A pack of hikers found him
Saturday morning. He heard
a knock on a window from a
hiker, and suddenly his long,
painful ordeal was over.
“I just kissed him,” Morello
said of the hiker. “He looked
like an angel to me.”
The unidentified hikers
were not part of the 100 vol-
unteers who passed out fli-
ers and searched for Morello
since Wednesday, but they
knew he was missing, said Jim
Sheehan, a friend who helped
organize a search team.
“Nobody ever gave up,”
said Sheehan, who was on a
search plane when he got a
call saying Morello had been
found.
Morello said he used car
mats to stay warm and even
read a car manual from cover
to cover to pass time. Nights
were hardest because he would
get scared, he said.

Teacher
strikes nerve
with ‘lazy
whiners’ blog
FEASTERVILLE, Pa. (AP)
— A high school English teach-
er in suburban Philadelphia who
was suspended for a profanity-
laced blog in which she called
her young charges “disengaged,
lazy whiners” is driving a sensa-
tion by daring to ask: Why are
today’s students unmotivated
— and what’s wrong with call-
ing them out?
As she fights to keep her
job at Central Bucks East High
School, 30-year-old Natalie
Munroe says she had no interest
in becoming any sort of educa-
tional icon. The blog has been
taken down, but its contents can
still be found easily online.
Her comments and her sus-
pension by the middle-class
school district have clearly
touched a nerve, with scores
of online commenters applaud-
ing her for taking a tough love
approach or excoriating her for
verbal abuse. Media attention
has rained down, and backers
have started a Facebook group.
“My students are out of con-
trol,” Munroe, who has taught
10th, 11th and 12th grades,
wrote in one post. “They are
rude, disengaged, lazy whiners.
They curse, discuss drugs, talk
back, argue for grades, com-
plain about everything, fancy
themselves entitled to whatever
they desire, and are just gener-
ally annoying.”
And in another post, Munroe
— who is more than eight
months pregnant — writes:
“Kids! They are disobedient,
disrespectful oafs. Noisy, crazy,
sloppy, lazy LOAFERS.” She
also comes up with a colorful
list of comments that she felt
should be available on student
report cards.
Munroe did not use her full
name or identify her students
or school in the blog, which
she started in August 2009 for
friends and family. Last week,
she said, students brought it
to the attention of the school,
which suspended her with pay.
“They get angry when you
ask them to think or be cre-
ative,” Munroe said of her stu-
dents in an interview with The
Associated Press on Tuesday.
“The students are not being held
accountable.”
Munroe pointed out that she
also said positive things, but she
acknowledges that she did write
some things out of frustration
— and of a feeling that many
kids today are being given a free
pass at school and at home.
“Parents are more trying
to be their kids’ friends and
less trying to be their parent,”
Munroe said, also noting stu-
dents’ lack of patience. “They
want everything right now.
They want it yesterday.”
A spokesman for the
Pennsylvania State Education
Association declined to com-
ment Tuesday because he
said the group may represent
Munroe.

WASHINGTON, D.C.
— On the same day that
a new report revealed that
Ohioans spent more than
$759 million last year on
out-of-pocket health care
costs, U.S. Sen. Sherrod
Brown (D-OH) announced
his support for a biparti-
san bill that would allow
for the safe importation
of prescription drugs—
from nations with strict
drug safety standards—to
ensure that Ohioans have
access to affordable medi-
cations.
“The United States is
the world’s largest market
for prescription drugs, but
we pay the world’s highest

Brown said. “Seniors in

The purpose of the meet-

The minutes of the previ-

Elwer also reported the

Today, Families USA

Moderate Republicans
may skip Iowa caucus
By MIKE GLOVER
Associated Press
DES MOINES, Iowa —
A run for the White House
has long meant enduring icy
days campaigning in Iowa
for the contest that starts the
presidential election calen-
dar. But this winter fewer
candidates have braved the
Midwestern chill. And that
has left some wondering if the
Iowa Republican party’s shift
to the right is scaring off some
hopefuls and making the Iowa
caucuses less competitive --
and less important.
In the last few months, a
handful of prospective candi-
dates for the GOP nomination
in 2012 have visited the state
-- including former Minnesota
Gov. Tim Pawlenty, former
vice presidential nominee
Sarah Palin and former House
Speaker Newt Gingrich. But
the visits have been less fre-
quent than in the past, and
other traditional campaign-
building efforts have lagged.
Notably absent has been
former Massachusetts Gov.
Mitt Romney, who has led the
field of GOP prospects in early
polling. Also unseen has been
Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels,
who hasn’t announced his
intentions but who spoke last
week at the Conservative
Political Action Conference
in Washington, D.C.

US to boost support for cyber dissidents
By MATTHEW LEE
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The
United States stands with
cyber dissidents and democ-
racy activists from the
Middle East to China and
beyond, Secretary of State
Hillary Rodham Clinton said
Tuesday.
She pledged to expand
the Obama administration’s
efforts to foil Internet repres-
sion in autocratic states.
In an impassioned speech
on Internet freedom, Clinton
said the administration would
spend $25 million this year on
initiatives designed to protect
bloggers and help them get
around curbs like the Great
Firewall of China, the gag-
ging of social media sites in
Iran, Cuba, Syria, Vietnam
and Myanmar as well as
Egypt’s recent unsuccessful
attempt to thwart anti-gov-
ernment protests by simply
pulling the plug on online
communication.
She also said the State
Department, which last week
launched Twitter feeds in

out the Arab world and Iran,

F-35 engine battle breaks out on GOP spending bill
By ANDREW TAYLOR
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The
Obama administration’s cam-
paign against a costly alterna-
tive engine for the Pentagon’s
next-generation fighter jet
faces a critical vote in the
GOP-controlled House, its
fate to be decided by more
than 90 freshmen lawmakers
who previously haven’t had
to choose sides between two
major defense companies.
The expected vote today
comes as the House enters
its second day of debate on
a $1.2 trillion spending bill
that would wrap up the unfin-
ished business lawmakers
inherited after last year’s col-
lapse of the budget process.
That includes $1.03 trillion
for agency operating budgets
that need annual approval by
Congress and $158 billion for
military operations in Iraq and
Afghanistan.
The engine battle pits
Obama and Defense Secretary
Robert Gates — who say the
engine would waste almost $3
billion over the next few years
— against GOP leaders like
House Speaker John Boehner,
R-Ohio, whose state is a chief
beneficiary. The spending
measure includes $450 million
who largely skipped the Iowa
caucuses in 2008 and still was
able to lock up the Republican
Party’s nomination in other
states.
“Other people may be
making that decision,” said
Mark Salter, a top aide in
McCain’s campaign. Iowa’s
dominant Republicans are
now “very socially conser-
vative,” he said. Although
McCain had a national follow-
ing, many Iowa Republicans
questioned his earlier support
for immigration reform and
his willingness to work with
Democrats.
Other factors may help
explain the limited activity.
Many strategists thought the
2008 race began too early.
And big names like Romney
don’t need to be introduced
to the Iowa electorate. The
state does remain a prominent
platform for the most socially
conservative Republican can-
didates, and campaigning will
become more intense later
in the year as the February
6, 2012, caucus date draws
closer. But some question
whether a victory in Iowa
now could be hollow if more
moderate candidates limit
their campaigning, making it
a contest only of the most
conservative politicians.
“Does the Iowa caucus have
the same punch it once had?”
Salter said. “Probably not.”
Romney spokesman Eric
Fehrnstrom said if Romney
runs in 2012, he’ll take a dif-
ferent approach than in 2008,
when he visited often, spent
and India in their native lan-
guages.
Clinton challenged author-
itarian leaders and regimes to
embrace online freedom and
the demands of cyber dis-
sidents or risk being toppled
by tides of unrest, similar to
what has happened in Egypt
and Tunisia to longtime presi-
dents Hosni Mubarak and
Zine El Abidine Ben Ali.
“History has shown us
that repression often sows the
seeds for revolution down the
road,” she said. “Those who
clamp down on Internet free-
dom may be able to hold back
the full impact of their peo-
ple’s yearnings for a while,
but not forever.”
“Leaders worldwide have a
choice to make,” Clinton said.
“They can let the Internet in
their countries flourish, and
take the risk that the free-
doms it enables will lead to
a greater demand for political
rights. Or they can constrict
the Internet, choke the free-
doms it naturally sustains, and
risk losing all the economic
and social benefits that come
from a networked society.”
“We believe governments
who have erected barriers to
Internet freedom - whether
they’re technical filters or cen-
sorship regimes or attacks on
those who exercise their rights
to expression and assembly
online — will eventually find
for the engine, which would be
built by the General Electric
Co. and Rolls-Royce in Ohio,
Indiana and other states.
On the other side are law-
makers from Connecticut,
where the main F-35 fighter
engine is built by Pratt &
Whitney, as well members
from Florida, Texas and other
states.
The F-35 engine vote pres-
ents 87 GOP freshmen —
infused with a fervor to cut
spending — with a dilemma:

istration to cut spending now
or side with supporters of the
alternative engine, who argue
that it would save money by
injecting competition into the
F-35 program, the costliest
weapons program in Defense
Department history.
“We have to step forward,
we have to cut back on areas,
and this is an area that the sec-
retary of defense said we need
to cut back on,” freshman
Rep. Bob Dold, R-Ill., said.
The engine battle divides
along regional rather than
party lines, in contrast to the
partisan warfare on the under-
lying bill, which sharply cuts
domestic programs and for-
eign aid and earned a veto
threat from the White House
budget office and a warn-

$10 million and at one point
had 200 staffers in the state,
but lost badly. “I would not
look for Mitt to follow that pat-
tern again,” said Fehrnstrom,
who declined to elaborate on
why Romney would retool his
strategy.
Evangelical Christians
have long been an important
portion of the GOP vote in
the caucuses. Back as far as
1988, they were credited with
televangelist Pat Robertson’s
surprising second-place cau-
cus finish, behind winner Bob
Dole but ahead of eventual
GOP nominee George H.W.
Bush.
But religious conservatives
now dominate the Republican
Party in Iowa, holding lead-
ership positions and making
up the bulk of caucus vot-
ers. “There’s no question that
evangelicals are the largest
single block in the party,”
said former Republican Party
of Iowa Chairman Richard
Schwarm.
For that reason, among oth-
ers, Pawlenty, Minnesota Rep.
Michele Bachmann and for-
mer Pennsylvania Sen. Rick
Santorum appear to be betting
heavily on Iowa. Santorum
is believed to be the only
potential Republican candi-
date who has hired staffers in
Iowa, but Pawlenty has been
the most aggressive in the
state, making repeated visits
and emphasizing that his faith
as an evangelical Christian is
central to his life. Bachmann
has made one visit, and plans
to return in April.
themselves boxed in,” she
said. “They will face a dic-
tator’s dilemma, and have
to choose between letting the
walls fall or paying the price to
keep them standing — which
means both doubling down on
a losing hand by resorting to
greater oppression, and endur-
ing the escalating opportunity
cost of missing out on ideas
that have been blocked.”
She said fighting restric-
tions would not be easy but
stressed that the U.S. is com-
mitted to ensuring the Internet
remains an open forum for
discourse.
“While the rights we seek
to protect are clear, the vari-
ous ways that these rights
are violated are increasingly
complex,” Clinton said.
The U.S. will “help people
in oppressive Internet environ-
ments get around filters, stay
one step ahead of the censors,
the hackers and the thugs who
beat them up or imprison them
for what they say online,” she
said in the speech to students
at The George Washington
University. She countered
criticism leveled at the admin-
istration for not investing in
a single technological fix to
overcome government con-
trols, saying there was “no
silver bullet” and “no app”
to do that. Instead, she said,
the U.S. would take a multi-
pronged approach.
ing from President Barack
Obama against unwise cuts
“that could endanger the
recovery.”
Debate on the bill is
expected to take all week
and the House worked late
into Tuesday night. A frosty
reception awaits the bill in the
Democratic-controlled Senate,
which won’t take up its ver-
sion until next month. So it’ll
require passage of a separate
short-term government fund-
ing bill by March 4 to prevent
a government shutdown that
neither side says it wants.
The GOP bill, separate
from the 2012 budget Obama
unveiled on Monday, covers
spending for the fiscal year
that ends Sept. 30.
The GOP legislation
would make sweeping cuts
to domestic programs rang-
ing from education and sci-
ence to agriculture and the
Peace Corps. It slashes the
Environmental Protection
Agency, a favorite target of
Republicans, by 29 percent
from last year’s levels, and
would eliminate federal fund-
ing for public broadcasting,
the AmeriCorps national ser-
vice program, police hiring
grants and family planning
programs unpopular with
conservatives.

Lancers get 3-point victory
By Charlie Warnimont
Delphos Herald
Correspondent
KALIDA — Kalida’s
defensive pressure helped
them overcome a fourth-
quarter deficit to Lincolnview
Tuesday night. Then the
Lancers’ defense returned the
favor in a blink of an eye.
Coming up with two big
steals late in the fourth quar-
ter of this back-and-forth
game, the Lancers turned their
thefts into easy baskets that
helped them
to a 48-45
non-league
girls basket-
ball win at
Kalida.
The win improved the
Lancers to 6-13 on the sea-
son, while Kalida dropped to
7-11.
Lincolnview had a 39-33
lead midway through the
fourth quarter
after a basket
by sopho-
more Kaylee
Thatcher.
Kalida scored
the next
six points to tie the game
as Chelsea Verhoff hit a
3-pointer from the top of the
key; that was followed by two
free throws by Sam Edwards
and a free throw by Brandi
Merschman that tied the game
with 2:55 left.
Carley Springer broke the
tie with a free throw before the
teams traded turnovers. After
the Lancer turnover, Kalida’s
Alexis Wurth was fouled and
sank both free throws. As the
Lancers attempted to run a
set, Edwards came up with a
steal that she turned into two
points and a 3-point Kalida
lead with 2:16 left. After both
teams missed free throws, the
Lancers’ Katie Dye hit the
first-of-2 free throws, mak-
ing it a 2-point game. On
back-to-back possessions,
the Lancers defense came up
big as Kaitlyn Brant turned
a steal into two points; Dye
did the same thing that gave
the Lancers a 45-43 lead with
1:14 left.
“Their pressure kind of
got to us there and we were
kind of unsure of ourselves,”
Lincolnview coach Dan
Williamson said. “Then our
defense stepped up and kind
of got us back in a rhythm.
We were hoping to force
more turnovers than we did
but we were able to get some
key ones there in the fourth.
It’s just been one of those
things lately where we play
well for three quarters, then
the fourth quarter, we kind of
let things slip away. I wasn’t
sure if tonight was going to
be another one of those. It
kind of looked like it but
luckily we made just enough
plays to get the win.”
“Credit their defense for
that run,” Kalida coach Adam
Huber said. “They played a
lot harder than we did and
deserved to win but I was
disappointed we didn’t take
care of the basketball there at
the end because they weren’t
doing anything differently
than they did the first three
quarters. We just got loose
with the ball at a bad time.
There is no excuse for some of
those things and we will come
back tomorrow to get better.”
After getting the lead the
Lancers spent the remaining
portion of the game going
to the free-throw line. The
Lancers struggled there as
they were 5-of-14 but hit

just enough to hold off the
Wildcats for the win. Dye,
Brant and Claire Dye all hit
a free throw in the final min-
ute for Lincolnview, while
Kalida’s final points also
came at the line as Wurth hit
two freebies with 4.4 seconds
left.
Kalida was missing senior
leader Emily Turnwald.
The game was close
throughout as Kalida had a
14-12 lead after one quarter
as they used a 9-4 run to end
the opening eight minutes.
The Lancers had an 8-5 lead
after two baskets by Audrey
Bowen. Kalida scored the
next seven points to get their
first lead of the night as Haley
McIntyre, Merschman and
Edwards all hit field goals,
while Wurth split a pair of
free throws. The Lancers tied
the game on baskets by Claire
Dye and Thatcher before
Kalida’s Julia Vandemark
ended the first quarter with
a basket.
The second quarter was just
as tight; it was tied twice and
there were two lead changes.
The Lancers’ Claire Dye gave
her team a 20-18 lead with
a basket before Merschman
hit 3-of-4 free throws to give
the Wildcats a 21-20 lead.
With time running out in the
first half, Claire Dye gave the
Lancers a 22-21 halftime lead
with a putback just before the
buzzer sounded.
The shot gave the Lancers
a big lift going to the third
quarter as they scored the first
five points for a 27-21 lead on
a putback by Brant. Wurth and
Merschman scored the next
two baskets for Kalida before
the Lancers went on a 6-0 run
as Katie Dye had two baskets
and Abbi Alvarez two free
throws. Katie Dye had a fine
quarter for the Lancers with
eight points as Lincolnview
took a 37-31 lead to the fourth
quarter after Merschman
ended it with a basket.
Katie Dye led the Lancers
with 14 points, while Thatcher
had eight points and Claire

Borders files for Ch. 11
bankruptcy protection
By MAE ANDERSON
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Bookseller
Borders, which helped pioneer
superstores that put countless
mom-and-pop bookshops out
of business, filed for bank-
ruptcy protection Tuesday,
sunk by crushing debt and
sluggishness in adapting to a
rapidly changing industry.
The 40-year-old company
plans to close about 200 of its
642 stores over the next few
weeks. All of the stores closed
will be superstores, Borders
spokeswoman Mary Davis
said. The company also oper-

Derek and Ray Kaverman of All Purpose Contracting talk shop with Robert Klausing cautious consumer spending,
of Robert J. Klausing Carpentry and Jerry Gilden of Gilden Insurance. negotiations with publish-
ers and other vendors and a
lack of liquidity made it clear
Borders “does not have the
capital resources it needs to be
a viable competitor.”
Borders plans to operate
normally and honor gift cards
and its loyalty program as it
reorganizes.
The company will receive
$505 million in debtor-in-
possession financing from
GE Capital and others to
help it reorganize. In January,
Borders said it was consider-
ing a bankruptcy filing after
it received a conditional $550
million loan from GE Capital
that required it to secure
financing elsewhere.
According to the Chapter
11 filing with the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court in the
Southern District of New
York, Borders had $1.28 bil-
lion in assets and $1.29 billion
in debts as of Dec. 25.
It owes tens of millions of
dollars to publishers, includ-
ing $41.1 million to Penguin
Putnam, $36.9 million to
Hachette Book Group, $33.8
million to Simon & Schuster
and $33.5 million to Random
House.
Activist investor William
Ackman, whose Pershing
Square Management Co. has
a nearly 15 percent stake in
the company, also stands to be
a big loser.
He offered to finance a
$16-per-share Borders-led
takeover bid for rival Barnes
& Noble in December, but
nothing materialized.
It has been a long fall for the
Ann Arbor, Mich., company,
which 15 years ago appeared
to be the future of bookselling.
But big-box bookstores have
struggled as competition has
become increasingly tough
as books become available in
more locations, from Costco
to Walmart, online sales grow
and electronic books gain in
popularity.
Borders also suffered from
a series of errors: failing to
catch onto the growing impor-
tance of the Web and electron-
ic books, not reacting quickly
enough to declining music
and DVD sales, and hiring
four CEOs in 5 years without
book-selling experience.
Even as the book indus-
try shifted around it, Borders
seemed to be in denial and
focused on adding super-
stores, said Michael Norris,
senior trade analyst at Simba
Information. “Books and con-
tent just became so available
at so many other locations,
online and offline, the ’grow,
rinse, repeat’ mindset just
wouldn’t work anymore,” he
said.
In addition, Americans are
simply buying fewer books.
Sales fell nearly 5 percent in
2010 to 717.8 million from
751.7 million last year, accord-
ing to Nielsen, which tracks
about 70 percent of book sales
but doesn’t include Walmart
stores.
At its peak in 2003, Borders
operated 1,249 stores under
the Borders and Waldenbooks
names, but now it operates
barely half that. Its annual
revenue has fallen by about
$1 billion since 2006, the last
year it reported a profit.
Borders’ rival Barnes &
Noble, which has 29.8 percent
of the book market compared
with Borders’ 14.3 percent
according to IBIS World, has
done better by adapting to
e-commerce and electronic
books more quickly and keep-
ing management stable.
By the time Borders’ cur-
rent CEO, financier Bennett
LeBow, came aboard in May
2010 after injecting $25 mil-
lion into the company, the
ship was listing badly.
The bad news began to
pile up December: Borders
suffered its ninth consecu-
tive money-losing quarter, a
key holiday sales figure fell
a dismal 14.6 percent and the
company announced it was
delaying payments to some
vendors to preserve cash.

Veterans say rape cases mishandled

By KIMBERLY HEFLING
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — More than a dozen U.S.
veterans who say they were raped or assaulted
by comrades filed a class-action suit in federal
court Tuesday attempting to force the Pentagon
to change how it handles such cases.
The current and former service members
— 15 women and two men — describe cir-
cumstances in which servicemen allegedly got
away with rape and other sexual abuse while
their victims were ordered to continue to serve
with them.
The suit names Defense Secretary Robert
Gates and his predecessor, Donald H. Rumsfeld.
The plaintiffs say individual commanders have
too much say in how allegations are handled
and that they want reforms in the system.
The alleged attackers in the lawsuit include
an Army criminal investigator and an Army
National Guard commander. The abuse alleged
ranges from obscene verbal abuse to gang rape.
In one incident, an Army Reservist says two
male colleagues raped her in Iraq and video-
taped the attack. She complained to authorities
after the men circulated the video to colleagues.
Despite being bruised from her shoulders to
elbows from being held down, she says charges
weren’t filed because the commander deter-
mined she “did not act like a rape victim” and
“did not struggle enough” and authorities said
they didn’t want to delay the scheduled return of
the alleged attackers to the United States.
“The problem of rape in the military is not
only service members getting raped, but it’s the
entire way that the military as a whole is deal-
ing with it,” said Panayiota Bertzikis, who is a
plaintiff in the lawsuit and claims she was raped
in 2006. “From survivors having to be involun-
tarily discharged from service, the constant ver-
bal abuse, once a survivor does come forward
your entire unit is known to turn their back on
you. The entire culture needs to be changed.”
Although The Associated Press normally
does not identify the victims of sexual assault,
the plaintiffs in the lawsuit have publicly dis-
cussed the cases.
Bertzikis, 29, of Somerville, Mass., now is
executive director of the Military Rape Crisis
Center. She says she was raped by a Coast
Guard shipmate while out on a social hike with
him in Burlington, Vt. Bertzikis complained to
her commanding officer, but she said authorities
did not take substantial steps to investigate the
matter. Instead, she said, they forced her to live
on the same floor as the man she had accused
and tolerated others calling her a “liar” and
“whore.”
Pentagon spokesman Geoff Morrell said in a
statement that sexual assault is a wider societal
problem and that Gates has been working to
ensure the military is doing all it can to prevent
and respond to it.
“That means providing more money, person-
nel, training and expertise, including reaching
out to other large institutions such as universi-
ties to learn best practices,” Morrell said. “This
is now a command priority, but we clearly still
have more work to do in order to ensure all of
our service members are safe from abuse.”
The military had already planned to roll out
a new hotline victims can call in April, said
Pentagon spokeswoman Cynthia O. Smith. It
has another initiative that encourages service
members to help those who are assaulted or
raped. In 2005, the military created an office
charged with preventing sexual assault. Victims
can opt to file a “restricted” or confidential
report that allows them to get medical attention
without an investigation being triggered.
Smith said in a statement that when com-
manders learn of accusations of misconduct
they are responsible for investigating it and
taking appropriate action. She said command-
ers have demonstrated “time and time again” in
sexual assault cases and in others that they “take
seriously the trust that comes with leadership
and the need for good order and discipline.”
Sarah Albertson, a former Marine corporal
who is one of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit, said
that one of the hurdles in getting improvements
in the system is that military commanders do not
want any marks on their record such as a rape in
their unit. Albertson alleges she reported she was
raped in 2006 by a fellow Marine, but instead
of helping her, she was forced to live one floor
below the alleged perpetrator for two years.
“People who did believe me and had my
back and were supportive of me were still tell-
ing me, ‘Don’t tell anybody about this, don’t go
to the public, don’t let this get out because it will
make the military look bad,”’ Albertson said.
In many of the described cases, no charges
were filed. In other cases, the alleged attackers
faced lesser charges and were allowed to remain
in the military, according to the lawsuit.
Kori Cioca, 25, of Wilmington, Ohio,
described being hit in the face by a superior
in one incident in 2005 and being raped by the
same man in a second incident soon after while
serving in the Coast Guard in Bay City, Mich.
Even though the man confessed to having sex
with her, Cioca said in the lawsuit she was told
if she pressed forward with reporting the sex as a
rape, she would be court-martialed for lying. She
said the man pleaded guilty only to hitting her
and his punishment was a minor loss of pay and
being forced to stay on the base for 30 days. She
said she was discharged from the military for a
“history of inappropriate relationships.”
“You think of a Coast Guardsman, you think
of somebody in the military holding themselves
at a certain level,” Cioca said. “When somebody
walks up to you and shakes your hand and says,
‘Thank you for your service,’ little do they
know they’re shaking the hand of a man who
rapes and beats women in the military.”
She said she continues to suffer from numb-
ness in her jaw and has nightmares.
“My body hurts every day. My face hurts.
I get the most horrible headaches. My body
has been trespassed. The honor that I had
was stripped from me. I’m no longer proud
of myself. People tell me thank you for your
service, but my service wasn’t what it was sup-
posed to be,” Cioca said.
Anuradha Bhagwati, 35, executive director
of the Service Women’s Action Network, said
the Defense Department’s own statistics show
that fewer than one in five of these cases are
even referred for court martial. She said unit
commanders are the judge and the jury in these
types of cases. Too often, she said, perpetrators
are given non-judicial punishments.
“A lawsuit like this is needed because change
cannot happen on the inside. DoD has had
literally decades, perhaps more, to change the
culture within the military. They’ve proven that
they can’t, and even the minor changes they’ve
made the last few years are so superficial,”
Bhagwati said.
