Edinger gives pay-to-participate plan
BY NANCY SPENCERnspencer@delpho-
sherald.com
DELPHOS — JeffersonHigh School Principal JohnEdinger presented a proposalfor pay-to-participate feesto the Delphos City SchoolsBoard of Education Mondayevening.
Edinger, coaches, boardmembers, parents, athleticdirector and boosters, metfour times over a month-longperiod to form the proposalof a flat fee of $350 per
high school student and $250per middle school studentto cover participation in allsports and non-sports extra-curricular activities. There isa family cap of $700, theequivalent of two high schoolstudents.
“This is the first time asan educator I have had tomake a decision that maynot be in the best interest of all students,” Edinger said.“This was a very emotionalprocess.”
The district needs to cover$100,000 for coaching and
advising salaries and retirementand transportation for an entireschool year for all non-creditextra-curricular activities.
Edinger said the groupbased the fee on participationin the 2009-10 school yearwith 163 at the high-schoollevel and 100 at the middle-school level. Calculating thefees students would havepaid, the total was $82,000.A $25,000 gift from theJefferson Athletic Boostersfilled the gap.
“We are hoping the flatfee will encourage morekids to participate but wecan’t count on those figures,”Edinger said. “We will losesome because parents can’tafford the fee. We felt $200for high school and $100 for
middle school was an idealamount but it wouldn’t coverthe costs and we would haveto eliminate coaches and pro-grams.”
Edinger added that anyonewho would like to donate tothe boosters to help covercosts can contact him at thehigh school at 419-695-1786.
The group compared pay-to-participate at districtswith similar enrollment.East Guernsey Local SchoolDistrict in Lore City collects$165 per high school studentper sport and $82 per middleschool students per sport withno cap. Bethel-Tate LocalSchools charge $185 for highschool athletics and $165 formiddle school athletes.
Items to still be decidedinclude a timeline to pay;reimbursements for “cut”sports; injuries and dismissalfrom team; and a signaturepage for parents and athletesto understand it is pay-to-participate, not pay-to-play.
The Jefferson AthleticBoosters will meet at 7:30p.m. Monday at the Delphos
Eagles Lodge for more dis-cussion.
Board members are stillworking on filling the dis-
trict’s deficit in 2011-12 andbeyond. Board members dis-cussed the options such as aproperty tax, income tax andearned income tax or a com-bination of any of the three.
“We know we have to dosomething,” SuperintendentJeff Price said. “We are hop-ing to have more informationon the new governor’s bien-nial budget in the comingmonths before we decide whatto ask for locally. Kasich hasan $8 billion hole to fill.”
The board accepted theretirement of Non-PublicAuxiliary Services MediationTeacher Joyce Day from
St. John’s Schools. Day hasspent at least 40 years ineducation.
NPAS funds for St.John’s are handled by thecity schools and cover specialeducation, counseling andother services.

Waugh talks on visiting
loved ones with dementiaBY STACY TAFF
DELPHOS — A meetingof minds often frustrates fam-ily members. When one isconfronted with the inabilityto connect due to dementia,that frustration is multiplied.On this subject, Diana Waughof Waterville hopes to helpby giving seminars to fami-lies and caregivers all overthe country.
Since 1987, Waugh hasgained experience in nursinghomes and health care facili-ties in Ohio, Pennsylvania andTennessee. Her path led todirecting Waugh Consulting,an organization centeredaround helping health careprofessionals become long-term care experts. Mondayevening, she presented aseminar called “Unlockingthe Door to SuccessfulConversations with LovedOnes with Cognitive Loss” atthe St. John’s Little Theater.
“I call it the elephant inthe room,” Waugh said, refer-ring to memory loss. “Eightypercent of people in nursingfacilities have some form of memory loss and I just don’tthink we’re doing enough tohelp the families deal withthis successfully. I wrote abook on the subject, moreof a workbook, called ‘I wasthinking...’ and the reason Ichose that phrase was becausethat’s how you should start aconversation with a personwho has memory loss.
So many people approacha person with dementia usingthe words ‘do you remem-ber...’ or ‘don’t you remem-
ber...’ and that immediatelyputs them on guard because itreminds them that they have amemory problem. If you startwith ‘I was thinking aboutthe time we...’ and then bringup a happy memory. If theydon’t remember, then it’s OKbecause it’s not their story;
it’s yours.”Waugh says the best way
to have a successful conver-sation with a person who suf-fers from memory loss is to“go wherever they are.”
“One thing people alwaysforget about dementia is thatit’s almost always short-termmemory loss,” Waugh said.“They have very good long-term memories. For instance,my mom could tell you whatshe packed for lunch back inkindergarten but she couldn’t
tell you what she ate forbreakfast. So, if you approachthem and say ‘how are you?’or ‘what did you have to eattoday,’ they’re not going toknow, so they’re going to justsay ‘oh, I’m fine’ and it mightseem insincere and as a result,so many people think they’re
‘faking it,’ when in reality,they just can’t remember andthey’re trying to save face.
“If they start talking aboutsomething or someone thatis in the past and gone, thelast thing you want to do issay ‘no, they died a long timeago, remember’?” Waughadded. “You want to go therewith them, ask them questionsabout that particular place orperson, so those five minutes
Kasich’s reputation
scares school leadersBY MIKE [email protected]
John Kasich was sworn inas governor Monday and isnow responsible for an $8.4billion budget deficit. He isexpected to release informaldata by the end of Marchfor the next biennial budget,which will take effect in earlysummer. In the meantime,school treasurers are gettingnervous for several reasons.Not only are they hearing talkof cuts between 10-20 percentbut the governor’s reputationprecedes him and it doesn’t
indicate public school sup-port.
“We’re definitely con-cerned because of some of theviewpoints he has held. Hepromotes privatizing educa-tion with vouchers to charterschools and private schools.His reputation precedes himand the numbers floatingaround the rumor mill are 10,15 and 20 percent but that’sall just speculation. There’sa lot of uncertainty and itmakes us nervous,” DelphosCity Schools Treasurer BradRostorfer said.
His colleagues in south-west Putnam County agree.
Val Maag of Jennings LocalSchools anticipates cutsbecause of the huge deficitbut is taking a “wait and see”approach until hard data isreleased by the administra-tion.
Ottoville Local SchoolsTreasurer Bob Weber hasheard the same percentagesbut agrees with Rostorfer thatit’s too early to get too ner-vous, despite the governor’sviews on vouchers.
“As a group, we’re all
concerned because of theuncertainty. We’re not surewhat the budget will looklike over the next two yearsbut we’ve heard numbers thatmake us very leery — cutsbetween 10 and 20 percent.Everything is speculation andwe haven’t heard any specif-ics but we hope to by the timethe 5-year forecast is due bythe end of May,” he said.
Fourth Distr ictRepresentative Matt Huffmansaid he and Kasich promote“school choice.” Voucherswould enable additional par-ents to send their childrento private or charter schools.Because public school fund-ing depends on enrollment,this would divert state fundsaway from public education.
“I promote school choicefor parents, as does the gov-

ernor. Not only does it giveparents more options but it’sbetter for the taxpayer. Wehave to stop focusing on theinstitutions; it’s not about thiskind of school or that kindof school, it’s about the bestchoice for the parents and themost efficient way to educatefor the taxpayer,” he said.“There will be a substantiallydifferent way of operatingeducation by the time JohnKasich is done being gov-ernor and if that gives sometreasurers an upset stomach,
that’s the way it’s going tohave to be.”
School funding is alreadycomplicated; Rostorfer saidhis biggest concern is tiedto the political games beingplayed in Columbus.
“Under (former GovernorTed) Strickland’s formula,38 percent of our funding isfrom the state but we onlygot 91 percent of the 38 per-cent because of his budgetrestrictions. Now, we’re upto 45 percent but we onlyget 86 percent of that, so wereceived the same amountas last year,” he said. “They
get political and say they’reraising funding in some partof the formula such as ‘perpupil’ but they cut some-where else. They can saythey’re increasing schoolfunding but in reality, eithergive us nothing more or actu-ally cut our funding if whatthey cut is more than whatthey increase.
“So, the biggest fear is thatwe’ll not only get the cuts butit will actually be much worsethan they make it sound.”
BRISBANE, Australia(AP) — Greg Kowald wasdriving through the centerof Toowoomba when a ter-rifying, tsunami-like wallof water roared throughthe streets of the northeastAustralian city.
Office windows explod-ed, cars careened into treesand bobbed in the churningbrown water like corks. Thedeluge washed away bridges
and sidewalks; people des-perately clung to power polesto survive. Before it was over,the flash flood left at least 10dead and 78 missing.
“The water was literallyleaping, six or 10 feet intothe air, through creeks andover bridges and into parks,”Kowald, a 53-year-old musi-cian, told The Associated Presson today. “There was nowhereto escape, even if there hadbeen warnings. There was justa sea of water about a kilome-ter (half a mile) wide.”
The violent surge inToowoomba brought theoverall death toll from weeksof flooding in Queenslandstate to 20, a sudden accelera-tion in a crisis that had beenunfolding gradually withswollen rivers overflowingtheir banks and inundatingtowns while moving towardthe ocean. QueenslandPremier Anna Bligh saidthere were “grave fears” for
at least 18 of those missing.The high waters headed
next to Australia’s third-larg-est city, Brisbane, where up to9,000 homes were expectedto be swamped. The BrisbaneRiver overflowed its bankstoday and officials warnedthat dozens of low-lyingneighborhoods and parts of downtown could be inundat-ed in coming days.
But nothing downstreamwas expected to be as fierceas the flash flood that struckToowoomba on Monday. It
was sparked by a freak storm— up to 6 inches (150 milli-meters) fell in half an hour.
The raging water wasstrong enough to rip housesoff their foundations.
Emergency services offi-cers plucked more than 40people from houses isolatedovernight by the torrent thathit the Lockyer Valley, andthousands were being evacu-ated. In one small community
in the path of the floodwaters,Forest Hill, the entire popula-tion of about 300 was beingairlifted to safety in militaryhelicopters, Bligh said.
Search and rescue effortswere hampered by moredriving rain, though the badweather was easing and Blighsaid the search would get eas-ier Wednesday.
Brisbane Mayor CampbellNewman said authoritieswere preparing for floodingaffecting about 15,000 peoplein 80 suburbs.

PHOENIX (AP) — Theparents of the suspect inSaturday’s shooting spree inTucscon are devastated andguilt-ridden, a neighbor said.
Jared Loughner, 22,appeared in court Monday onfederal charges that he tried toassassinate U.S. Rep. GabrielleGiffords and killed a federal judge. He is also accused of killing five others and wound-ing or injuring 13 others.
Loughner’s parents, Randyand Amy Loughner, are dev-astated, according to neighborWayne Smith, 70.
“And they feel guilty forwhat happened,” he told
KPHO-TV Monday evening.“They want to know, where
did they fail? I told them theydidn’t fail. They taught himeverything about right andwrong. We all know you canteach someone everything andhave no control how it worksout.”
Amy Loughner has beenin bed, crying nonstop sinceSaturday, Smith said.
Roxanne Osler, of Tucson,whose son had been a friend of Jared Loughner’s, said he hada bad relationship with his par-ents and had distanced himself from family.
“What Jared did was wrong.
But people need to know abouthim,” she told The WashingtonPost. “I wish people would
have taken a better notice of him and gotten him help. ... Hehad nobody, and that’s not anice place to be.”
Loughner’s parents havenot spoken publicly, thoughSmith said the father plans torelease a statement.
Wearing a beige prison jumpsuit and handcuffs andsporting a pink gash on thehairline of his shaved head,Loughner on Monday after-noon spoke just a brief replywhen the judge asked if heunderstood that he could getlife in prison — or the deathpenalty — for killing federalJudge John Roll.
“Yes,” he said.Loughner was being held
without bail. Meanwhile, resi-dents of Tucson prepared for
memorial services today forthe six killed in the shooting.
The first real communitygathering for mourners sincethe rampage — a Mass forall the victims at St. Odelia’sParish in Tucson — was setfor 7 p.m. President BarackObama was scheduled to arrivein Arizona Wednesday for amemorial service days aftercalling the attack a tragedy forthe entire country.
Loughner’s court appear-ance in Phoenix on Mondaygave the nation a first lookat the man authorities sayis responsible for the shoot-ing that also left 14 injured
or wounded outside a Tucsonsupermarket where Giffordshad set up a booth to hear the
concerns of constituents.Giffords, a three-term
Democrat, was in critical con-dition at Tucson’s University
Medical Center, gravelywounded after being shotthrough the head but able togive a thumbs-up sign thatdoctors found as a reason tohope.
Speaking to NBC’s “Today”show early today, Dr. MichaelLemole, chief of neurosurgeryat the University of Arizona,said there was no change over-night in Giffords’ condition.
When asked about swellingin her brain on the third day,which is when brain swellingoften reaches its peak after aninjury, Lemole said a CATscan early today showed noincrease in swelling. But he
cautioned that it can sometimestake longer for brain swellingto reach its peak.
“Just the fact that she’s ableto respond to those commandsimplies that there’s not a greatdeal of pressure in the brain,”he said.
After Saturday’s operationto temporarily remove half of her skull, doctors over thepast two days had Giffordsremoved from her sedation andthen asked basic commandssuch as: “Show me two fin-gers.”
“When she did that, wewere having a party in there,”said Dr. Peter Rhee, adding
that Giffords has also beenreaching for her breathing tube,even while sedated.

KachChinese stealth fighter
makes first test flightBy CHristoPHer
BoDeenth Acad P
BEIJING — China’sradar-eluding stealth fightermade its first-known testflight today, marking dramat-ic progress in the country’sefforts to develop cutting-edge military technologies.
The prototype plane dubbedthe J-20 flew for about 15minutes over an airfield in thesouthwestern city of Chengduwhere it was spotted carry-ing out runway tests last week,Kanwa Asian Defense maga-
zine editor Andrei Chang said.Photos of the plane in
flight and on the ground sur-rounded by men in civilian
clothes and army overcoatswere also posted on unofficialChinese military websites.A J-10 fighter — China’slast homegrown jet — flewbehind it as a chase plane.
The test flight comes on thesecond day of a visit to Chinaby U.S. Defense SecretaryRobert Gates, and the normal-ly secretive military made noattempt to hide it or removephotos and reports about theJ-20 from the Internet.
The timing and hands-off approach is apparentlyintended to send the messagethat Beijing is responding to
calls from the U.S. and othersto be more transparent aboutits defense modernization andfuture intentions.

JUBA, Sudan — Violencein the disputed region of Abyei has killed at least 30people along Sudan’s north-south divide, officials said.Observers fear the latestunrest could spark more fight-ing amid an otherwise peace-ful and jubilant independencereferendum in the south.
Abyei remains the mostcontentious sticking pointbetween north and southfollowing a two-decadecivil war that left 2 milliondead. Even President BarackObama, who applauded this
week’s historic referendumon independence in the
south, warned that violencein the Abyei region should
cease.United Nations spokesmanMartin Nesirky said Mondaythe organization is “extremelyconcerned” about the reportsof clashes and casualties inAbyei.
“The mission is in theprocess of confirming thenumbers (of casualties), andcontaining the situation withenhanced patrols and engag-ing with the top leadership,”Nesirky said at a regular newsbriefing at U.N. headquar-ters.
Abyei, which holds oildeposits, had been promisedits own self-determination
vote, but now whether itremains part of Sudan or joinsan independent south will bedecided in negotiations thatso far have made little prog-ress.
Jubilant voters floodedpolling stations for a secondday on Monday. The sevendays of balloting are likelyto produce an overwhelmingvote for independence, andSudanese President Omar al-Bashir has said he will let theoil-rich south secede peace-fully.

Ohio man gives curbside trash new lifeBy JOHN JOHNSTON
The Cincinnati Enquirer
CINCINNATI (AP) —The round, 110-pound endtable in Gene Zgoda’s livingroom wasn’t always a table.
Its cylindrical, stainlesssteel body sports dozens of evenly spaced holes and wasa key component in a bis-cuit-making machine built in1966 by Procter & Gamble,Zgoda says. The companyeventually bailed out of bis-cuit-making, which meantthe part essentially became apiece of junk.
Zgoda made it into a tableby adding a wooden top andbase.
“I like to make things.I like to fix things,” the69-year-old retired industrialarts teacher says.
In times such as these,when economic worries and
environmental consciousnessintersect, the world couldperhaps use a few more GeneZgodas.
Call him a recyclerextraordinaire.
Call him a fixer-upper.
But don’t call him a pro-fessional Dumpster-diver.
When the mood strikeshim on Tuesday evenings— the day before Rumpkemakes its rounds in hisneighborhood — he drives
a half mile for cigarettes.He takes a different routeto and from the store andretrieves treasures fromother people’s trash, includ-ing furniture, recreationalitems, yard tools and thelike, some of which hedonates to his church for itsrummage sales.
Many times, his findsrequire only minor tinkeringto make them functional.
“That was thrown out byJ.C. Penney,” he says, point-ing to a corner curio cabinet.All it needed was a plywoodback and some knobs andhinges.
“One day I found three
electric scooters,” hesays. “One actually ranwhen I got it.” But thenhe charged the battery andsparks flew. “Gotta dealwith that.”
“The other thing I got a
while ago was an electricweed whacker.” And a chainsaw. And a leaf vac, whichhad loose prongs that requiredsome soldering.
The chain saw “had neverbeen run, you could tell. I
took it home and it startedright up.” But it was miss-ing its bar and chain, whichhe bought. “Basically I gota brand-new chain saw for$25.”
“I got a lawn mower, andit needed one part.” Still does.He hasn’t gotten around tofixing it.
“It’s a waste that all this ispitched out there,” he says.
“I just keep my eyes open.It’s like walking down thestreet and seeing a dollar billlying there. Some people areattuned to that, and I gotattuned this way.”
He’s better equipped torepair what’s pitched than
most people.The Conway, Pa., native
says he was an underachieverwho never did his home-work in high school. Buthe graduated, went to avia-tion mechanics school and
in 1962 enlisted in the AirForce, where he worked onAtlas missiles.
After his discharge,he worked in engineeringdevelopment at P&G, mak-ing mock-ups of machines
that produced Pringles andPampers. He returned toschool to earn a vocationaleducation degree from theUniversity of Cincinnati,which led to a 25-yearcareer teaching industrialarts, including 24 years atColerain High.
Sadly, he says, the numberof industrial arts teachers andprograms has declined pre-cipitously over the years.
That perhaps has contrib-uted to society’s penchant forpitching things rather thanrepairing them.
“We’re not very goodstewards (of the planet),”Zgoda says. “We could be
doing better.”Maybe if more people
had Zgoda’s mindset when itcomes to recycling, we wouldbe doing better. Then again...
“It’s nice he’s able to fixsome of those things,” says
Linda Zgoda, his wife of 42years. But in the same breath,she adds that “there’s a limitto how much of that you wantaround.
“I don’t like trash allover.”
Her husband admits:“There is a bit of that, and itneeds to be dealt with.”
Linda says her favoriteused item given a home byher husband is the colonialcoffee table in their livingroom.
“Somebody threw it out,”he says.
He tightened up the legs,did some work on the finish,and it was almost as good asnew.
“By the way,” he says, “Igot an air hockey table. Youlook at it and you say, why inthe hell did somebody throwthis out?”
Probably because the scor-
ing mechanism was broken.Zgoda, of course, fixed it.
It’s now down in the base-ment. With a bunch of otherstuff.
“I gotta get rid of thething,” he says.

of conversation are happy forthem, not frustrating.”
As for those who are diag-nosed with dementia, Waughsays there are things they cando to help loved ones, as
well.“Last week, I had a59-year-old woman call meand tell me that she’d beendiagnosed with dementia andshe asked me what to do,”she said. “I said ‘you have towrite down things you like,things that make you happyand leave the list for yourfamily. That way, when theycome to visit you, they’ll havethings to ask you about.”
When diagnosed withdementia, people always tryto figure out what type of
dementia they have and whatcaused it. Waugh says it’sbest to leave that to the doc-tors.
“There are 75 differentthings that result in demen-tia, whether it’s Alzheimer’s,Parkinson’s or cardiovascu-
lar issues,” she said. “Peoplewaste valuable time trying todecide what it is but that’sthe physician’s job. Instead,you should try to make eachday worth waking up for.Is this method 100 percentfoolproof? No. But if it works10-20 percent of the time, I’lltake that.”
“It’s just important toremember that when you’retalking to someone withmemory loss, you have tothrow away all your expecta-tions. Don’t expect them to be
the person they were, becausethey aren’t, and remindingthem of it will just frustratethem. Instead, try to get themto a place where they canremember something andhave fun.”

AUSTIN, Texas — Thereis one enduring political valuein Texas: The state does notmollycoddle.
In the best of times, itspends as little as possibleproviding aid to the unem-ployed, the sick and theinjured. Texans have consis-tently elected lawmakers whowill add to the public safety
net only when threatened witha federal lawsuit.
Now that the state mustovercome a $15 billion budgetshortfall, life for those whorely on the state for employ-ment or support is likely to geteven tougher.
The state comptrollerannounced Monday that theTexas Legislature will haveroughly $8 billion less tospend in the next budget thanit did in the last. The statewill also be missing $7 bil-lion in federal stimulus dol-lars it spent in the last budget.To make matters worse, stateagencies have said they need
an additional $12 billion justto maintain existing state ser-vices.
So if lawmakers want tomaintain the status quo, theyneed to raise nearly $27 bil-lion, roughly a third of alldiscretionary spending.
Other states with hugebudget problems, such asCalifornia and Illinois, arelooking at tax increases, butin the Lone Star State, wherefrontier self-sufficiency isexalted, the shortfall is anoth-er occasion to cut the budget.Every two years, in good eco-nomic times or bad, manystate legislators pledge to cut
spending, and they take thosepromises seriously.“I don’t think it’s the end
of the world,” Gov. Rick Perrysaid in an interview after thenew figures were released. “Ithink we have a budget of $76.5 billion and we’re goingto live with that. . . . It’s onlya budget hole when somebodyhas wished that they had moremoney.”
But some legislators wor-ried that, in a state that pridesitself on having a minimalsafety net, this year’s cutscould go too far.
“There is a disconnectwith reality,” said Rep.
Garnet Coleman, a HoustonDemocrat. “This Legislatureand this state governmenthave always been efficient,and I’ll add to that, we’re verytight.”
Facing a similar crisis in2003, state agency heads toldlawmakers they were no lon-ger cutting fat, but cuttingmuscle. In 2009, they saidlawmakers were cutting intothe bone.
Texas spends less per resi-dent than any other state. Itscores among the bottom fivestates in spending on pub-lic education, higher educa-tion, and health care. For most
Texans between 18 and 50who do not have a child athome, food stamps are limitedto three months in a three-yearperiod.
“The decisions of thisLegislature will determinewhat kind of future Texas willhave,” said Talmadge Heflin,director of the conservativeCenter for Fiscal Policy. “Abudget within existing rev-enues will keep a light burdenon Texas taxpayers, encourag-ing large businesses and entre-preneurs to create jobs here.”

WASHINGTON — Theshooting rampage in Arizonaseems to have created a resetmoment for confrontationalpolitics, as lawmakers reflecton the repercussions of theoverheated rhetoric traded onthe airwaves and on the cam-paign trail.
Members of Congress fromboth parties called Sunday forcivility over belligerence asthe House temporarily shelvedthe contentious debate overrepealing the health care lawand lawmakers paused to con-
template the tragedy.Critically wounded Rep.Gabrielle Giffords, the appar-ent target of a lone shooter,emerged as a potent and cau-tionary symbol of the currentpolitical climate. Still, therewas no clear motivation forthe attack, and some warnedagainst making provocativepoliticians and commentatorsthe culprits in the assault.
Six died and 14 werewounded in the shooting ata Tucson shopping centerwhere Giffords was holding agathering with constituents.
Authorities said the attackwas the work of a singlegunman. They described
the apprehended suspect,22-year-old Jared Loughner,as mentally unstable.
President Barack Obamaon Sunday called for a nation-al moment of silence to beobserved at 11 a.m. Mondayand postponed a scheduledtrip today to Schenectady,N.Y., where he planned topromote his economic poli-cies. “It will be a time for usto come together as a nationin prayer or reflection, keep-ing the victims and their fami-lies closely at heart,” he said.
The Supreme Court said itplans to convene 10 minutesearly on Monday, at 9:50 a.m.,so the justices can observe themoment of silence at 11 a.m.
House Speaker John
Boehner told lawmakers ina conference call Sunday to“pull together as an institu-tion.”
“What is critical is thatwe stand together at this darktime as one body,“ he said.”We need to rally around ourwounded colleague, the fami-lies of the fallen, and the peo-ple of Arizona’s 8th District.And, frankly, we need to rallyaround each other.“
House Minority LeaderNancy Pelosi canceled ascheduled appearance Mondayat the Detroit auto show.
Such unifying pauses areusual after national tragedies.The Sept. 11, 2001, terror-
ist attack was a coalescingmoment in the nation that fora time improved the tone of
Capitol Hill debate. KathleenHall Jamieson, director of the Annenberg Public PolicyCenter at the University of Pennsylvania and an experton political rhetoric, saidthere were similar breaks afterthe assassinations of RobertKennedy and Martin LutherKing Jr.
“There was a lot of discus-sion about the meaning of themoment and what rhetoric haddone to incite it,” she said.
What’s more, the attackon Giffords has given mem-bers of Congress a sense of unusual common purpose.Leaders from both parties
worked together Sunday tooffer members assurances thatthey were reviewing securitymeasures.
Rep. John Larson, D-Conn.,the chairman of the HouseDemocratic Caucus, said hiscolleagues hope for “greatercomity within the House andthe discourse that takes placeall across this country.”
Still, politics is a quar-relsome business and thosebreaks are short-lived. In the1990s politicians lament-ed “the politics of person-al destruction.” PresidentGeorge W. Bush was the sub- ject of vicious criticism fromthe left, and President Obama
has come under stinging, per-sonal attack from some of hiscritics.

WASHINGTON — Apresidential panel investigat-ing the Gulf oil spill will callfor additional reforms fromthe oil industry, Congressand the Obama administra-tion that it says are neededto avert another catastrophicaccident offshore.
The blowout and rig explo-sion last April that killed 11workers and released morethan 200 million gallons of oil from the damaged wellhave prompted changes in theoil industry and at the agencyin charge of offshore drilling.But the national oil spill com-mission will call for an evengreater overhaul in federalregulations and industry-ledoversight when it issues itsfinal report today to PresidentBarack Obama, said an offi-cial who was briefed on thereport but not authorized tospeak about it publicly.
Among the commission’s
recommendations: increasingbudgets and training for thefederal agency that regulatesoffshore drilling; increasingthe liability cap for damageswhen companies drilling off -
shore have a spill; dedicat-ing 80 percent of fines andpenalties from the BP spill toenvironmental restoration inthe Gulf; and lending moreweight to scientific advice ingovernment decisions aboutwhere to permit oil and gasleasing.
Many of the report’s con-clusions were previewed inearlier discussions by thepanel, and at least one —
the suggestion that water pol-lution fines be used to payfor Gulf Coast restoration— has been endorsed by thepresident. For that to occur,Congress would have to passlegislation.
“The improvements inthe Interior Department’sregulatory capability are,we believe, relatively mod-est,” co-chairman William K.Reilly said during a meetingin early December in whichthe panel’s staff outlined itsrecommended reforms. “Andfailure to upgrade the qualityof federal regulation wouldbe a national scandal.”
The seven-memberpanel will recommend thatCongress draft legislation tofurther reorganize the InteriorDepartment, which has alreadyadjusted its structure to sepa-
rate the conflicting functionsof collecting revenue fromoil companies and ensur-ing those companies operatesafely. Commissioners arealso likely to recommend thatcompanies drilling in the U.S.adopt safety procedures thatare common in other coun-tries but not required in theGulf.
Kendra Barkoff, a spokes-woman for Interior Secretary
Ken Salazar, said in a state-ment Monday that the depart-ment has “undertaken anaggressive overhaul” that hasincreased safety and ensuredthat oil and gas developmentis done responsibly.
“We have made signifi-cant progress over the lasteight months, but thesereforms must continue andwe look forward to reviewingthe commission’s recommen-dations,” Barkoff said.
On the industry side, thepanel will signal its supportfor an industry-led safetyinstitute, similar to the onecreated by the nuclear power
industry after the 1979 ThreeMile Island accident.
Both industry and govern-ment have taken numeroussteps to improve safety sincethe incident.

AUSTIN, Texas — FormerU.S. House Majority LeaderTom DeLay remained defiantas he faced a judge’s sentenceto three years in prison for ascheme to illegally influenceTexas elections, insisting he
committed no crime and wasthe victim of selective pros-ecution by authorities target-ing his politics.
“Everything I did was cov-ered by accountants and law-yers telling me what I had todo to stay within the law,”the Houston-area Republicansaid. “I can’t be remorsefulfor something I don’t thinkI did.”
But Senior Judge Pat Priestdisagreed with DeLay, sayingthose who write laws shouldbe bound by them, and sen-tenced the man once consid-ered one of the nation’s mostpowerful and feared lawmak-ers to three years in prison.
The sentence came aftera jury convicted DeLayin November on charges of money laundering and conspir-acy to commit money laun-der for using a political actioncommittee to illegally sendcorporate donations to TexasHouse candidates in 2002.
Prosecutors said DeLaywill likely be free for monthsor even years while his appealmakes its way through theTexas court system.
DeLay declined to talk toreporters after he posted a
$10,000 bond following threehours in the Travis County jail, where he was taken afterbeing sentenced.
During a 10-minute speechto the judge before his sen-tencing, DeLay said the polit-ically motivated case againsthim had affected his wife’shealth, forced him to raise
and spend $10 million in legalfees and cost him everythinghe had worked for — includ-ing the second-highest post inthe U.S. House.
“Just because somebodydisagrees with you they got toput you in jail, bankrupt you,destroy your family,” he said.
DeLay was convicted inTravis County, one of themost Democratic counties inTexas, which is one of themost Republican states in thecountry.
Lead prosecutor GaryCobb said there was nothingpolitical about DeLay’s pros-ecution and called the formercongressman “arrogant” for
not taking responsibility forhis crime.
“He’s been accusing usof (politics) ever since DayOne. But every time someoneopposes him, tries to hold himto account for something he’sdone, he accuses those peopleof politics,” Cobb said.
After the sentencing,DeLay’s attorney DickDeGuerin said only that thecase would not stand onappeal.
“Tom DeLay did not steal.He did not rob. He did not line
his own pockets. He did whathe did because he believed hewas doing right,” DeGuerin,who had asked for probationfor the ex-lawmaker, saidbefore the sentencing.
Prosecutors, who wanted a10-year sentence, said DeLayshould not be given proba-tion because he had shown no
remorse.Priest sentenced DeLay tothe three-year term on theconspiracy charge. He alsosentenced him to five years inprison on the money launder-ing charge but allowed DeLayto serve 10 years of probationinstead of more prison time.DeLay had faced up to life inprison.
The ruling came after abrief sentencing hearing inwhich former U.S. HouseSpeaker Dennis Hastert testi-fied on DeLay’s behalf.
Hastert, an IllinoisRepublican who was Housespeaker from 1999 to 2006,said DeLay was not moti-
vated by power but by a needto help others. Hastert talkedabout DeLay’s conserva-tive and religious values, hisefforts to provide tax relief for his constituents in Texas,his work helping foster chil-dren and the help he providedto the family of one of thepolice officers who was killedin a 1998 shooting at the U.S.Capitol in Washington.
“That’s the real Tom DeLaythat a lot of people never gotto see,” said Hastert, who wasDeLay’s only witness.

DEAR EDITOR:So often “not so good” stories travel faster than lightening.
This is an awesome story that has to be told.It’s amazing how one kind gesture can inspire another.The Jefferson Show Choir was asked to sing a Christmas
song after they finished their lunch at a restaurant in Van Werton Dec. 17. The request came from a customer who had herself been in choir for many years and told us that a song would justmake her day.
Upon completion of singing two selections, the woman, aswell as many other patrons, was crying.
As the students were preparing to leave, the waitress askedus to pause so that she could tell us that the woman had justdonated $100 toward the students’ food bill.
When the students learned of her generosity, all 14 of themverbally expressed their gratitude and embraced the woman ina genuine hug.
It was a truly amazing feeling to see the heartfelt apprecia-tion between the woman and those kids.
To all the parents of those children, Mrs. Wirth and the kidsthemselves, we want to say how proud we are of all of you.You are a terrific group of kids and we are honored to be a partof the Choir Boosters.

RURAL MIDDLE POINT— Cory-Rawson and Blufftonare two of the area’s wrestlingpowers.
That makes them toughenough for Lincolnvieweven with a full roster.
With half of theLancer wrestlers either onthe injury shelf or strugglingto make weight, Lancer headman Curtis Miller is realistic.
His Lancers lost 60-15 tothe Pirates and 64-12 to theHornets at Lincolnview HighSchool Monday.
The Hornets knocked off the Pirates 42-28 in the mid-dle match.
“We’ve never really fieldeda full lineup at Lincolnviewbut it’s been nothing like thisyear. We had 11 wrestlersto start the year and we’redown to four right now aftertonight; we took four to theDayton Shawnee InvitationalSaturday,” Miller said.“Obviously, we got mauledbut you can see the improve-ment in the kids. With so fewguys able to wrestle, we’regiving them more 1-on-1coaching, even in drills. Thatis helping them get betterquicker.”
The Lancers voided eightweight classes in both match-es and lost 125-pounder KevinMarkward to an injury in theirsecond match against BlufftonMonday night.
“We’re definitely not acontender in team matches,so we try to look at our recordin matches we have wrestlers.If we can go 2-2, like we didagainst Cory-Rawson tonight,I’m pretty happy,” Millerexplained. “Against Bluffton,we went 0-3 in the contestedmatches, which doesn’t leaveme very satisfied. I give a lotof credit to Doug for mov-ing up a weight class againstBluffton and almost getting a
win. That is how you have tolook at things when you haveso few wrestlers able to go.”
Lincolnview has a tri-meetwith Jefferson at Allen EastJan. 18, so Miller is hopinghe can get two or three of theinjured back.
“I’m hoping that happenswithin the next week. There
are a couple we won’t haveuntil about February,” Milleradded. “Our goal right nowis the NWC tournament andthe sectionals, to try and getas many people healthy aspossible and try to get themsome matches before the post-
season.”

MATAMORA — The St.
John’s wrestling team com-peted this past Sunday in theOhio High School WrestlingCoaches Association StateDual meet at Evergreen HighSchool in Metamora and fin-ished in sixth place out of eight teams.
“We wrestled very well thispast weekend competing withthe top teams in Division III inthe state of Ohio; we just didn’thave enough point-scorers towin the duals. We are void-ing 103 and 112, which startsus out in a 12-0 hole beforewe really even get wrestling,”Blue Jay head coach Derek
Sterling began. “With that said,the other 12 weight classeswe looked very good, winningfive out of those 12 in eachof our two meets. The firstround, we lost to a very tal-ented Ashland Crestview teamwho had five returning statequalifiers in their lineup. Thesecond round we had a for-feit against Massillon Tuslaw,who withdrew due to tragiccar accident with a high schoolstudent; this put us in the 5th-and 6th-place matchup versusDixie.
“I really thought wematched up well with Dixie butthey just had too many weap-ons. They also had a hand-
ful of state qualifiers in theirlineup, including Ethan Hayes,a returning 215-pound StateChampion, and Cody Johnson,a state placer at 285. Our wres-tlers didn’t back down; theytook the fight right to theseteams and left everything theyhad on the mats.”
Leading the way for theBlue Jay matmen were a trioof undefeated wrestlers: soph-omore Will Buettner (135), junior Logan Looser (140) andsenior Ryan Musser (145).
“These three guys reallystepped up for this meet; thiswas maybe the best I have ever
Jays finish 6th at State Duals
seen Logan and Will wrestle.They really had a great week
of practice last week andpushed each other to the limitevery single day,” Sterlingcontinued. “The work ethicthese two put into practice thispast week really showed outthere on the mats on Sunday;when they were tired at prac-tice they just seemed to pushharder. This kind of attitude iscontagious and I hope the restof the team catches it too.
“Ryan also went 2-0 andhad to come back from aninjury this past week andmissed most of the practicesrecovering. His goals werestill set very high and he wasworking hard in the weightroom and conditioning to get
himself ready to achieve hisgoals. Ryan pinned both of his opponents and definitelybrought his game to a newlevel of intensity.”
Aaron Merschman (125),Austin Martin (130), BrettSchwinnen (160) and LoganHeiing (189) all went 1-1.
“They put in a nice show-ing for themselves. Aaronhas been dealing with a bigweight cut this past week andhis stamina was down a littlebit due to this; he wrestledvery well and could have eas-ily been 2-0,” Sterling wenton. “Logan Heiing is coming
back about six weeks earlierthan expected from a sepa-
rated shoulder injury and he,too, could have easily been2-0, losing only to a verygood wrestler from Crestviewin a tight match. Brett wres-tled a good tournament aswell, losing a close one to anice wrestler from Dixie; he just keeps improving and hascame so far in just a shortyear’s time, so we continue toexpect big things from him.Austin is only a freshman andto compete at a tournament atthis level is difficult by itself but he stepped right in andpinned his first opponent inthe second period. Austin isgaining very valuable experi-ence this season and it will all
pay out at the end of this yearand the future for him.”The Jays next participate
in the Catholic InvitationalTournament at Toledo CentralCatholic starting Saturday at10 a.m.
“Overall, I am verypleased with how hard theseguys have been working andwhere we are sitting as a teamright now. Give them anothermonth or so like this and weshould be ready for the post-season,” Sterling added.

CONVOY – Crestviewstarted the third quarter withtwo buckets from beyond thearc to open up a 9-pointlead before Continental’shalf-court trap defenseled the visiting LadyPirates to a 32-29 come-from-behind victory in anon-conference game onMonday in Convoy.
The loss included theKnights not scoring inthe fourth quarter whenContinental turned up the
pressure and did not allowCrestview to get off shots.
“We tried to speed it up alittle bit and hopefully showthem something they didn’tsee in the first half,” saidPirate coach Greg Spitnale. “Ithought it changed the tempoquite a bit and helped us alot.”
Crestview coach GregRickard agreed the trapdefense changed the face of the game.
“They were sitting in a2-3 zone, or a little bit of amatchup, and we were get-ting the ball over half courtand getting some people openand doing some nice things,”
he said. “But that half-courttrap, that’s when it kind of fell apart. I think we had 11turnovers and four shots inthe first 7:52 of the fourthquarter.”
Before then, the game hadbeen a battle of seeing whichteam could score the most inthe paint. Pirate post player
Erin Weisenburger openedthe game by taking two lobsinto the block and turningthem into buckets beforeCrestview’s Madison Etzlerwas able to sink a 15-footer
for the home team. TheKnights’ other Madison – Preston – also did dam-age down low with a short jumper in the lane and aspin move in the postsandwiched around a put-back by Weisenburger.
Crestview’s Catelyn Mefferdsank a 15-footer to close outthe scoring in the first periodbut everyone had their mind
on Continental point guardTaylor Williamson when shepicked up her third foul of the game with 13.9 secondsremaining. At the end of one,Crestview led 8-7.
The Pirates took thelead back right away whenWeisenburger again hada putback less than 10 sec-onds into the second quar-ter. That’s the way the peri-od played out with Prestonscoring inside for Crestviewwhile Weisenburger and LevaWeller put the ball in thebucket in close for the Pirates.At the intermission, Crestviewclung to a 17-14 lead.
After the break, the
Knights’ Etzler and DanicaHicks both hit treys to startthe third. The outside bucketsopened up some passing lanesand Crestview took advantagewith good interior passing.Preston was the beneficiary asthe Crestview guards drove inlow and then kicked the ballinto the paint for close shots.
But that is when CoachSpitnale threw on the press.Suddenly, Crestview beganhaving trouble getting theball closer than 30 feet tothe bucket while Continentalpushed the ball inside toWeller, who had seven pointsin the period. Going into thefinal eight minutes, Crestviewled 29-23.
Both teams struggled toscore at the beginning of the fourth quarter. FinallyContinental’s Williamson –who had played with threefouls since the closing secondsof the first period – canned
a 3-pointer that hit everyinch of the rim before fall-ing through at the 5:28 mark.The Lady Pirates got a freethrow from Stephanie Coblebefore it was Weisenburgeragain, this time on a 10-footfade, to tie the game at 29-29.Turnovers continued toplague Crestview the rest of the way while Continental gotkey free throws from Weller,Taylor Bidlack and Coble toput the game on ice for thePirates.
After the game,Crestview’s coach was frus-trated with how the game fin-ished.
“I thought we did a little
bit better job on their high-low (in the second half),” saidRickard. “ But we let theirtwo post players score 25 of their 32, so we had troubleinside with their post pres-ence.”
“Crestview is a tough teamto play,” said Continental’sSpitnale. “They are well-
coached and play gooddefense which gave us alot of trouble for two, eventhree, quarters. (Inside play)has been our strength all yearwith our two big girls wholead us in scoring. Our pointguard (Williamson) was alittle shook when she got herthird foul in the first few min-utes but I thought we played agood game.”
Continental was led byWeisenburger with 15 pointsand Weller with 10. ThePirates were 12-of-36 fromthe field for 33 percent with1-of-7 (14.3%) shooting
from behind the arc. Theywere 7-of-15 from the free-throw line for 47 percent.Weisenburger also grabbed13 rebounds on the night.
Preston led the Knightswith 13 points. Crestview was12-of-35 (34.3%) shootingwith 2-of-12 on 3-pointers for17 percent. The Knights were3-of-4 for 75 percent from thecharity stripe.
The Pirates won the battleof the boards 27-22, whileCrestview won the turnovers17-18.
The Knights’ junior varsitywon their contest 27-22.

By EDDIE PELLSThe Associated Press
GLENDALE, Ariz. —He never heard a whistle,never felt his knee hit the
turf. So, Auburn’s MichaelDyer popped up, took afew steps, then stopped andlooked around.
In that split second —the amount of time it takesto shout “War Eagle!” —Dyer placedhimself right upthere alongsideCam Newton,Bo Jackson andevery other greatplayer to wear theAuburn uniform.
Realizing theplay was stillgoing, Dyer started runningagain — past the tackler whothought he had him down,deep into Oregon territory.The stop-and-go maneuver— a once-in-a-lifetime run— set up a short field goal onthe last play that sent No. 1Auburn over the No. 2 Ducks22-19 in the BCS title gameMonday night.
“My knee wasn’t down,”Dyer said. “I didn’t hear awhistle, not yet, so I was kindof like, looking, like, ‘what’sgoing on’?”
With his 37-yard run,the freshman did what mostfans thought impossible:he upstaged Newton, theHeisman winner who turnedhis first — maybe only —season at Auburn into a title-winning run.
Three plays later, Dyer ran16 yards to push the ball tothe 1 and set up Wes Byrum’s19-yard field goal with notime left. It capped off a per-fect 14-0 season, brought thetitle back to Auburn for thefirst time since 1957 and leftthe Southeastern Conferenceon top of college football forthe fifth straight year.
Auburn won TheAssociated Press title with56 out of 59 first-place votes,capping a first-of-its-kindclimb up the rankings —from No. 22 at the start of theseason to No. 1 at the end.
“Fifty-three years, baby!”coach Gene Chizik exclaimedto the cheering crowd. “Thisis for you. War Eagle!”
Dyer was the key play-er in five crazy minutes of football at the end that werevastly different from the first55, which were more of abruising defensive battle thanthe offensive masterpiece somany had predicted.
The dramatic endgamebegan when Casey Matthews,son of the 1980s NFL line-backer Clay, punched the
ball from Newton’s handswhile he was trying to leadAuburn on a drive that mighthave iced a 19-11 lead.
Oregon’s offense, shutdown by Nick Fairley andthe rest of the Tigers’ stoutdefensive front for most of the night, moved 45 yardsover the next 2:17 and DarronThomas threw a shovel passto LaMichael James for atouchdown. Thomas hit Jeff Maehl for the 2-point con-version with 2:33 left and thegame was tied — down to the
last possession.And that possession will
be remembered for oneincredible play.
Dyer took the handoff andran off right tackle for about7 yards, or so it seemed.Nothing was routine aboutthis one. He wasn’t sure hisknee hit the ground, so hepopped up and took a fewmore steps. Then he stoppedand looked to his left. With
his coachesand teammatesurging him tokeep going andeveryone onthe field at astandstill, Dyerrealized that,indeed, thereferee hadn’t
blown his whistle. He tookoff and made it to the Oregon23. An official review ensuedand the replay showed thathis knee had never touchedthe turf.
“All I knew was the whis-tle wasn’t blowing and mycoach was saying ‘Go’!”Dyer explained.
Eddie Pleasant, theOregon defensive back whoalmost made the tackle, wasstunned.
“It hurts, you know?” heasked. “It’s not like he brokefree and did some spectacu-lar things. He was tackled.Everybody on the side of thedefense stopped. He stoppedand the coach told him tokeep running and he ran.”
Dyer finished with 143yards and was chosenOffensive Player of theGame — a pretty big accom-plishment considering he hadthe Heisman Trophy winnerplaying alongside him.
Newton threw for 265yards and two touchdownsand ran for 64 yards, mostin short, punishing bites.He wrenched his back andhad to go to the trainerafter the game. Indeed, everyyard came at a price in thisone.
“I’m OK. It was worth it,”
he said. “I got the better dealout of the whole thing.”The game had been billed
as an offensive show for theages but wound up as some-thing much different.
Wearing white jerseyswith gray numbers, greenpants and DayGlo shoes andsocks, the Ducks got only 49yards rushing from James,who averaged 152 on theseason. An offense that hadbeen held under 37 pointsonly once all year managed just the two touchdowns. Thelast one came on a simpleshovel pass from Thomas,who finished with 363 pass-
ing yards — 81 of them on along pass to Maehl that set upthe first touchdown.
Oregon didn’t come closeto its nation-leading 49-pointaverage and the fast-pacedoffense that turned mostopponents into mush in thesecond half couldn’t weardown Auburn.
“Our defense was focusedfor one month,” Chizik saidof the 37-day layoff betweenthe SEC and national titlegames. “They went out andpracticed every day to win
a national championship.Every day.”
As did the Ducks, whofinished 12-1, three pointsshy of their first national titlebut not making apologies forthe effort they gave in thedesert.
“I said in my first gameas head coach that onegame doesn’t define youas a person or a footballplayer,” coach Chip Kellysaid. “And the same thingstill holds true. These guysare champions.”
Only one team gets to takehome the trophy, though, andthat team was led by Newton,who helped Auburn to itsninth comeback win of thisimprobable season. He hasnow won a national title threestraight years — in 2008 asa backup to Tim Tebow atFlorida, last year in juniorcollege at Blinn and nowwith the Tigers.
If he goes pro, this willmark the end of a tumultuousstay at Auburn, shadowedby an NCAA investigationinto his failed recruitment byMississippi State. The gov-erning body cleared him toplay before the SEC champi-onship but asserted his father,Cecil, solicited money fromthe Bulldogs.
“Anything is possible,”Newton said. “I guarantee,five or six months ago, thatno one would bet their last
dollar that Auburn wouldwin the national champion-ship. And now we’re stand-ing here.”
The game began with amoment of silence to remem-ber something much moresomber. The six victims of the weekend assassinationattempt on Rep. GabrielleGiffords in Tucson were hon-ored by having their namesread and a choir sang “GodBless America” while thecrowd stood at attention.
A few hours later, it wasstanding for an entirely dif-ferent reason — to watchone of the more memorable
finishes in college footballhistory.The SEC improved to 7-0
in BCS title games. Four dif-ferent teams from the confer-ence have won it in this latest5-year run.
LSU. Florida twice.Alabama.
And now, Auburn, theschool that has loads of tradi-tion — the Tiger Walk, toilet-papering Toomer’s Cornerand a case full of Heismanand other big-time individualtrophies. What’s been lackingall these years are champion-ships. Bad luck in the pollsdoomed the Tigers’ 1-loss
team in 1983, probation keptthem from capitalizing on aperfect record in 1993 andthe vagaries of the BCS leftthem on the outside in 2004,maybe the most painful of allthe snubs.
No more pain on thisnight. Auburn capped what,at times, seemed like a never-ending bowl season — 35games spread over 24 days— with five minutes that willgo down as five of the mostexciting the game has everseen.

DEAR DR. GOTT: I read youradvice on ADHD treatments thatincluded only medications and theavoidance of sugar. Are you unawarethat upper airway obstruction ismore often the cause? Removal of the tonsils and adenoids has beenshown to be much more effectivethan medication at improvingsymptoms of ADHD. You aredoing a disservice to your readersby not mentioning the No. 1 mosteffective treatment. Oxygen is thatimportant!
DEAR READER: I see from
your e-mail that you are a doctor,and, being curious, I decided tolook you up on the Internet. Turnsout (based on your name andgiven e-mail address) that you area cosmetic dentist. Given that andthe additional research I did onthe subject of ADHD and airwayobstruction, I must take your advicewith a grain of salt.
To the best of my knowledge,a cosmetic dentist doesn’t andshouldn’t diagnose or treat ADHDor upper airway obstruction. Further,you do not give any indicationwhere you found that surgery ishelpful in treating ADHD (whereasit is known to be beneficial for thosewith breathing issues).
After some digging, I was able
to locate some references to a smallstudy done by the University of Michigan. These reports were fromearly 2006, which likely mean thatthe study was done some time in2003 to early 2005 (in order to givethe researchers time to review theinformation, write the report andsubmit it for publishing). I couldnot, however, locate the actualstudy. This doesn’t mean it’s not outthere, simply that I could not findit within a reasonable amount of search time.
To simplify, the study wasvery small and involved only105 children. Of that, 78 childrenwere the test group that underwenttonsil and adenoid removal forbreathing issues. The remaining
27 children were the control groupthat underwent some other type of surgery. Two children in the controlgroup had previously received adiagnosis of ADHD, whereas 22of the test group had received thesame diagnosis. Parents did reportincreased incidences of sleep andbehavioral issues in the childrenwith the airway obstruction.
One year after surgery, half of the children who had received adiagnosis of ADHD no longer hadit. Those who would like to readmore about the study can go to thefollowing link for more information:http://www.webmd.com/add-adhd/news/20060403/tonsil-surgery-
helps-kids-adhd.In the end, while some
children did improvefollowing surgery, this wasa very small test. It alsoshows that not all childrenwill improve after havingsurgery (though most didshow improvement in theirsleeping disorders).
I believe it is not only
unethical, but it is irresponsible tobe telling everyone that surgerycan cure ADHD. Not all childrenwho have ADHD have a breathing/sleeping disorder. Not all children
with both conditions will experiencea cure or even improvement fromeither or both following surgery.
I am not discounting the fact thatsleeping and breathing issues aremuch more common in childrenwith ADHD and vice versa, but Iam saying it is too early in the gameto be saying this one solution is theend all as far as treatment optionsare concerned. Even the ADHDinformation on the website saysthere is no surgical treatment forADHD and recommends the sameor similar treatment options as Igave in my previous article.
DEAR DR. GOTT: In a recentarticle, someone was asking whythey started vomiting and havinggas after having had surgery the day
before. I have experienced this aftersome of my surgeries and for me, itwas that I can’t tolerate certain painmedications. Once I am switched toone I can handle, everything getsbetter.
Just an idea, for what it’s worth. Ialways read your column and enjoyit.
DEAR READER: Your ideadefinitely has merit. Medicationsensitivity can cause a host of difficulties, including stomachupset, itching, nausea, allergicreaction and more. Pain medication,especially narcotics, is especiallyknown for causing gastric issues insome users and addiction (typicallyin chronic users).
I have printed your letter as
a reminder to patients that itis important to write down allmedications, the reason for takingthem, dosages, frequency of use,date started/discontinued and anysymptoms that may present. Even amedication that had been previouslyused or has been taken for yearscan suddenly cause problems. Bykeeping an accurate log of thisinformation, you and your doctorcan more easily determine whetherone or more of your pills is causingthe issue.
To give you related information,I am sending you a copy of myHealth Report “Consumer Tipson Medicine”. Other readers whowould like a copy should senda self-addressed, stamped No.
10 envelope and a $2 check ormoney order payable to Newsletterand forwarded to PO Box 167,Wickliffe, OH 44092-9167. Besure to mention the title or print anorder form from my website, www.AskDrGottMD.com.

Tomorrow’s
HoroscopeBy Bernice Bede Osol
Burglartraumatized teen
Dear Annie: I’m 15 yearsold. Two years ago, I arrivedhome from school to find aburglar in my room. Mybedroom door was locked,and when I got near it, thethief burst through the door.
I attempted to kick him inthe groin, but missed. Hegrabbed my throat, squeez-ing it tight, and then wentout the window. I called 911and waited inside a closetfor help. I made out a reportand told my parents.
They neverfound the guy,and ever since,I have becomeextremely para-noid when lefthome alone, evenif it’s for only anhour. In the pastfew months, ithas gotten worse.
I keep thinkingthere’s someonetrying to get in,or I hear imagi-nary footsteps in the hall-way. Until my parents comehome, I keep a kitchen knifeby my side. A secondaryproblem is that when I thinksomeone is going to touchmy back or neck, I tenseup.
I don’t know how toexpress my feelings tomy family without sound-ing pathetic. I don’t wanttherapy, because my par-ents can’t afford it. Do youhave any suggestions about
how to get over my phobia?-- Paranoid in SouthernCalif.
Dear Paranoid: Yourparents should know howyou feel because they willwant to help. But if you arereluctant to speak to them,talk to your school counsel-or or nurse. It sounds as if you are suffering from post-traumatic stress, and someshort-term therapy could beextremely helpful in work-ing through your fears andlearning techniques to copewith your anxiety.
Dear Annie: My boy-friend was divorced a cou-
ple of months ago. He andhis ex-wife have six chil-dren together. She is verybitter about the divorce anddislikes me intensely.
The ex’s mother passedaway last week. My boy-friend attended the wakeand funeral. The problem is,he felt I should have gonewith him to be supportive,regardless of what his exthought about it. I say thatbecause this woman dislikesme so much -- and has for30 years -- it was betterthat I did not attend thefuneral and make a bad situ-ation worse for her and their
children. What do you say?-- Sure I Did the RightThing
Dear Sure: You behavedcorrectly. This was not aboutyour boyfriend. It was abouthis ex-wife. Your boyfriendwas there to pay his personalrespects and support his chil-
dren. Your presence wouldhave created tension andanger, adding more pain forthe bereaved. If your boy-friend needed your support,he could find you at home.
Dear Annie: I would like
to reply to “Pleading for aLittle Privacy,” who worksnights and sleeps days andcan’t get people to leave heralone.
My wife and I workopposite shifts so one of uscan be home with our sons.
We have done thisfor 11 years. If someone rang thedoorbell, I wouldnot answer. I usedto have a problemwith my father-in-law, who wouldcome over andring the doorbellor phone me about
things that couldhave waited.
I had a simplesolution for this.
Whenever he would wakeme up during the day, Iwould call him at the corre-sponding time late at nightand do the same to him. If he woke me up at noon, Iwould refuse to talk to him.Then, when I got to work, Iwould call him at midnightand ask him what he wantedto talk about. After my thirdcall, he got the hint. Nowhe never calls me during theday. In fact, he never callsme at all. If he needs some-

Frozen South may need days to thaw outBy PAGE IVEYAssociated Press
COLUMBIA, S.C. — It could be daysbefore icy, treacherous conditions improvefor areas of the South hit by a wintry blast thatsent cars sliding off the road, emptied groceryshelves and had officials nervously watchingice-laden powerlines and tree limbs.
Snow ranging from several inches to morethan a foot Sunday and Monday blanketedstates from Louisiana to the Carolinas — aregion where many cities have only a handfulof snow plows, if any. And more misery wason the way: The snow began turning to freez-ing rain in numerous areas, and low tempera-tures threatened to turn roads that may havethawed icy overnight.
“I had God with me this morning!”Yolanda Hill, manager of a Shell stationnorth of Columbia, said of her drive to work.“I drove in the middle of the street, but, hey,I’m here.”
Freezing rain followed the snow in manyspots, turning major highways into ice rinksand coating pine trees and power lines.
“If you’re off the main roads, it’s a skatingrink,” said Tim Loucks, manager of the Pilot
Truck Stop in Haughton, La.The storm shut down most cities andtowns, closed many businesses, and canceledmost flights at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-JacksonInternational Airport, the world’s busiest.At least nine people were killed in weather-
related traffic accidents.In South Carolina, the winter storm moved
out of the area early today but left thousandswithout power.
Most of North Carolina remained undera winter storm warning. Kym Littlejohn washeeding the governor’s call for people to stayhome.
“The house is warm, we’ve got plenty of
food, and we can watch TV,” said Littlejohn,who was snowbound in her Charlotte homeMonday after about five inches fell in herneighborhood. “As long as we don’t losepower, we’ll be fine.”
Conditions were unlikely to improve any-time soon. Temperatures should stay belowfreezing for days, and more snow is predicted.That means treacherous travel conditionscould persist until Wednesday or beyond.
“The problem here is that they’re not usedto it, so the equipment and the sanitationremoval and the snow removal is not reallygeared for this kind of situation,” said TinoGrana, 48, of New York City, who traveled toAtlanta to sell art at a downtown trade show.
Atlanta, which got 4 to 7 inches, has justeight snow plows. The city hired a fleet of 11privately run trucks to help spread salt and
gravel.The storm system was expected to spreadnorth to Ohio and could hit the snow-wearyNortheast later in the week. A Christmasblizzard dumped more than 2 feet of snow onNew York City and other parts of the region,
crippling holiday travel and nearly shuttingdown major cities.
The National Weather Service issued awinter storm watch for the Big Apple fromtoday through Wednesday afternoon, callingfor the city and its suburbs to get between 6and 12 inches of snow.
The heaviest snow fell in parts of Tennesseethat received as much as 13 inches.
The weather began rolling across the Southon Sunday, coating bridges and roads withsnow, sleet and freezing rain. The gover-nors of Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, NorthCarolina, South Carolina and Tennesseedeclared emergencies. Schools and collegescalled off classes for a second day today.
South Carolina troopers worked nearly2,000 wrecks Monday, state Highway PatrolSgt. Kelley Hughes said. More were expectedovernight as the slush on major highways wasfreezing again. Like many southern states,South Carolina has limited equipment to fightfrozen roads.
In all, it has about 800 pieces, and that’seven using graders to smooth asphalt to pushaway slush along with snow plows and saltspreaders.
“You have no traction,” Hughes said.
“You’re just rolling the dice by even goingout.”In Georgia, the storm forced inauguration
ceremonies for newly elected Gov. NathanDeal to be moved inside from the stateCapitol steps. Arkansas officials planned to
move their inauguration indoors today.Drivers struggled to stay on slippery pave-
ment, and roads were littered with aban-doned vehicles. Some motorists got out in themiddle of the interstate to push their cars upice-covered ramps.
“Towns down here just don’t have theequipment to deal with this much snow,” saidJoel Weems, a worker at the University of
Mississippi.At Blackhawk Hardware in Charlotte,owner Jim Wilkerson was hoping for a deliv-ery of shovels and ice melt. There was onlyone problem: the warehouse is in snowyAtlanta, and as of Monday afternoon couldn’teven get enough workers in to load trucks.
“We’ve had about 1,000 calls, but we ranout of ice melt, shovels and sleds by the timewe opened on Sunday,” he said. “We couldhave sold 5,000 shovels if we’d had them.”
But the latest storm also offered kids —and some adults acting like kids — a rarechance to play in the snow.
“I’m trying to have a snowball fight withmy friend,” said 15-year-old Connor Ormondof Columbia, S.C., as he trotted to a friend’shouse, snowball in hand. “This is the mostsnow I’ve ever seen!”
In Memphis, 21-year-old Ronni Jupsonsaid the roads weren’t as bad as she fearedthey would be.
“I love snow, I’m not going to lie,” shesaid. “I got really nostalgic. I’m just sad that Ihave to be an adult and work.”
‘Survivor’ winner failed to rele Anti-meth law makes drug underworld worse
Verizon to start selling iPhone
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Reality TV star Richard Hatchviolated the terms of his supervised release by failing to refile histax returns, a judge ruled Monday, but he said he hadn’t decidedwhether to put the “Survivor” winner back behind bars. Hedelayed sentencing until he could receive additional arguments.
Hatch, who was convicted in 2006 of failing to pay taxes onthe $1 million prize he won on the debut season of the CBS realityseries, spent more than three years in federal prison and was thenplaced on three years of supervised release. He was released in2009 and has been living in Newport.
Federal authorities accuse him of violating the conditions of his release by failing to file amended tax returns for the years 2000and 2001, as required by a judge at the time of his sentencing.
“I don’t think the question of a violation in itself is really in anydoubt,” U.S. District Judge William Smith said, adding that Hatchappears to have a track record of mocking the court system andalleging unfair persecution.
He said he could put Hatch back behind bars for the remainingtwo years of his supervised release if he finds that Hatch willfullyviolated the terms of his freedom, as prosecutors allege. The judgeordered prosecutors and Hatch’s lawyer to file new paperworkand said Hatch would be sentenced later.
The Internal Revenue Service says that as of last February,Hatch owed about $1.7 million in taxes for 2000 and 2001 —including interest and penalties. But Hatch has appealed thatfinding to the U.S. Tax Court, and his amended tax returns cannotbe filed until after his appeal is concluded, argued Hatch’s federalpublic defender, Mary McElroy.
“He has the right to go through that process. He’s been coop-erating with that process,” she said.
But Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew Reich argued that Hatchhad an opportunity to refile his tax returns before he appealed tothe U.S. Tax Court, and that his failure to do so was part of hisoverall resistance to complying with the law.
“Instead, Mr. Hatch took the view that he was going to con-tinue to fight the IRS, that he was going to continue to raise theridiculous arguments that he raised during the trial,” Reich said.
Last April, the IRS also issued a so-called “jeopardy assess-ment” against Hatch, which is typically imposed when the agencysuspects a person may be trying to hide certain assets to avoidpaying taxes.
The IRS told him in a letter that it was concerned Hatch hadtransferred his interest in Newport properties, “for little or no con-sideration,” and “may be attempting to liquidate your interest inthese properties and conceal the proceeds from such liquidation”to hinder the collection of his income tax for the years 2000 and2001.
That allegation was not addressed in detail during Monday’shearing.
Hatch said outside court that he was grateful the judge appearedwilling to listen to his position and that the government had been“trying to paint me in a light that’s not true.”

ST. LOUIS — Electronic systems that track sales of the coldmedicine used to make methamphetamine have failed to curbthe drug trade and instead created a vast, highly lucrative marketfor profiteers to buy over-the-counter pills and sell them to methproducers at a huge markup.
An Associated Press review of federal data shows that the lureof such easy money has drawn thousands of new people into the
methamphetamine underworld over the last few years.“It’s almost like a sub-criminal culture,” said Gary Boggs, an
agent at the Drug Enforcement Administration. “You’ll see themwith a GPS unit set up in a van with a list of every single phar-macy or retail outlet. They’ll spend the entire week going store tostore and buy to the limit.”
Inside their vehicles, the so-called “pill brokers” punch outblister packs into a bucket and even clip coupons, Boggs said.
At the height of the meth epidemic, several states turnedthe electronic systems, which allowed pharmacies to checkinstantly whether a buyer had already purchased the legal limit of pseudoephedrine — a step that was supposed to make it harderto obtain raw ingredients for meth. But it has not worked asintended.
In some cases, the pill buyers are not interested in meth. Theymay be homeless people recruited off the street or even collegekids seeking weekend beer money, authorities say.
Because of booming demand created in large part by the track-ing systems, they can buy a box of pills for $7 to $8 and sell it
for $40 or $50.The tracking systems “invite more people into the criminalactivity because the black market price of the product becomes somuch more profitable,” said Jason Grellner, a detective in hard-hit Franklin County, Mo., about 40 miles west of St. Louis.
Since tracking laws were enacted beginning in 2006, the
number of meth busts nationwide has started climbing again.Some experts say the black market for cold pills contributed tothat spike. Other factors are at play, too, such as meth traffickingby Mexican cartels and new methods for making small amountsof meth.
The AP reviewed DEA data spanning nearly a decade, from2000 to 2009, and conducted interviews with a wide array of police and government officials.
Meth-related activity is on the rise again nationally, up 34 per-cent in 2009, the year with the most recent figures. That number
includes arrests, seizures of the drug and the discovery of aban-doned meth-production sites.
The increase was higher in the three states that have electroni-cally tracked sales of medication containing pseudoephedrinesince at least 2008. Meth incidents rose a combined 67 percent inthose states — 34 percent in Arkansas, 65 percent in Kentuckyand 164 percent in Oklahoma.
Supporters of tracking say the numbers have spiked becausethe system makes it easier for police to find people who partici-pate in meth production. But others question whether the trackinghas helped make the problem worse by creating a new class of criminals that police must pursue.
In the past, the process of “cooking” meth was often a one-person operation, with producers buying as many cold pills asthey needed.
Now, with laws that strictly limit purchases and record buyers’names, meth producers recruit friends, acquaintances, strangersand even their own children to buy pills.
The process, known as “smurfing,” is not entirely new, but it
has come into wider practice over the last two to three years asstates have sought to limit the availability of pseudoephedrine.Grellner recalled one case where a woman took her 17-year-
old daughter out smurfing. When police caught up to them, themother forced the girl to hide the pills in her vagina. She nearlybled to death in the county jail.
NEW YORK (AP) — Verizon Wireless would seem to bea big winner after its expected announcement today that it willstart selling the iPhone and break Apple Inc.’s monogamousrelationship with AT&T Inc. in the U.S.
But for several reasons, the iPhone’s arrival to Verizon wouldbe poorly timed, and Verizon’s gains won’t be as clearcut.
There’s no doubt a Verizon iPhone would attract millions of buyers, and it would give the country’s largest wireless carrier achance to catch up with AT&T in attracting high-paying smart-phone customers.
Since the iPhone’s debut in 2007, AT&T has been its exclu-sive distributor in the U.S. Many people held back because theyalready had service with a carrier they liked or were apprehen-
sive about congestion on AT&T’s network, particularly in NewYork and San Francisco.Rumors about a Verizon iPhone have swirled for years and
have risen in recent months. The Wall Street Journal has report-ed that an event Verizon is holding today is to announce a dealwith Apple to start selling iPhones at the end of the month.
Verizon, Apple and AT&T wouldn’t confirm that.Analysts estimate Verizon iPhone sales this year would range
from 5 million to 13 million, some coming from what AT&T wouldhave sold. The iPhone is big business for AT&T: The carrier acti-vated 11.1 million iPhones in the first nine months of 2010.
Many analysts say Verizon could sell more iPhones in theU.S. than AT&T this year, given pent-up demand from custom-ers not wanting to switch to AT&T.
Yet several factors may give prospective Verizon iPhonebuyers pause.
The first Verizon iPhone would likely only work on the older,“3G” network. That network has wide coverage, excellent reli-ability and less congestion than AT&T’s, but data speeds aremuch slower than new “4G” networks both AT&T and Verizonare building. You also can’t talk and surf at the same time withVerizon 3G phones.
Also, Apple has been launching a new iPhone model everysummer, and presumably an iPhone 5 is coming. But Verizonmay have to wait until next January to get it, giving AT&T ahead start. That’s because Verizon may be on the same one-yearupgrade cycle that AT&T has been on.
Most importantly, cell phone companies do their best totie subscribers up with contracts. AT&T executives last yearstressed to investors that most of their iPhone users are on fam-ily and employer plans — more difficult for an individual toswitch from.
“The consensus is that AT&T is reasonably well-prepared for

Jackson’s doctor told policeof singer’s need for sleep
Toyota has aging lineup of autos
By ANTHONY McCARTNEYAssociated Press
LOS ANGELES — For nearly three hours, the doctor chargedin Michael Jackson’s death told police about his final hours withthe superstar who was so desperate for sleep that he was gettinganesthetic injections in his bedroom six nights a week.
Dr. Conrad Murray’s interview two days after Jackson’s
death in June 2009 led police back to the singer’s mansion,where they ultimately found 12 vials of propofol. It was a smallfraction of the 255 vials a Las Vegas pharmacist said he shippedMurray in the nearly three months before Jackson’s death.
The interview also provided detectives with a roadmap of thedrugs ultimately found throughout Jackson’s system, includingthe anesthetic propofol and the sedatives lorazepam and mida-zolam.
On Monday, the homicide detective who interviewed Murraydescribed the doctor’s retelling of his efforts to get Jackson tofall asleep and to revive him when he stopped breathing.
Detective Orlando Martinez was the 20th witness prosecutorscalled during Murray’s preliminary hearing, which will end witha judge ruling whether there is enough evidence for the doctorto stand trial on an involuntary manslaughter charge. Althoughprosecutors have not indicated when they will conclude theircase, most major witnesses have already testified.
The Houston-based cardiologist has pleaded not guilty andhis attorneys have said he didn’t give Jackson anything that
should have killed him.From what Murray told Martinez, he did everything he couldthe morning of June 25 to get the pop superstar to sleep.
He rubbed the singer’s feet and put skin lotion on his back.He gave him doses of sedatives and when they didn’t work,
turned down the music in his bedroom and told Jackson tomeditate.
But Jackson was still awake.According to Murray, the singer was growing frustrated,
repeatedly telling the doctor that he would have to cancel theplanned series of 50 comeback concerts in London because hecouldn’t sleep. He wanted his “milk,” which the detective saidMurray told him was how Jackson referred to propofol.
At 10:40 a.m. — nearly 10 hours after returning to hismansion after a rehearsal a prosecutor described as “fabulous”— Murray told police he gave Jackson a 25 milligram dose of propofol. It was half his usual dose.
Murray said he watched the singer for a few minutes, thenmade a long walk to a bathroom.
When he returned, Jackson wasn’t breathing. Murray told thedetective he was “stunned.”
He immediately tried to start saving Jackson, but toldMartinez he didn’t call 911 himself. “He said he was caring forhis patient and he did not want to neglect him,” Martinez testi-fied.
Paramedics would not be called until 12:21 p.m., and Murraywas making calls for much of the 11 o’clock hour, phone recordspresented during the five-day hearing show.
Neither prosecutors nor Murray’s defense attorney onMonday addressed the apparent discrepancies in the policeversion of the doctor’s interview and other evidence. They alsodid not say whether most of the propofol that Murray orderedwas used, although the doctor told Martinez he had been giving
DETROIT (AP) — It would be easy to think Toyota’sbiggest problem is its damaged reputation caused by suddenacceleration recalls, millions in government fines and massivelawsuits and settlements. But what’s hurting the company mostis an aging lineup of boring cars.
Over the past decade, Toyota and its U.S. dealers had iteasy. Cutting edge design wasn’t required because the carssold themselves on reputation. Everyone knew Toyotas heldtheir value, were safe and got drivers from point A to point Bwith little drama. Then came the recalls, which called all of that into question.
Ending the year on a low note, Camry sales fell 10 percentin December from a year earlier. Corolla sales plunged 35percent. Unless things turn around quickly, Camry is in dangerof losing its 10-year crown as the nation’s top-selling car thisyear to the Honda Accord.
Ho hum cars are “probably the worst problem for them,”says Jessica Caldwell, director of pricing and industry analysisfor Edmunds.com. “They always had their (safety) reputationto fall back on, but now that’s not the case.”
CEO Akio Toyoda acknowledges that Toyota is at a designcrossroads. He has told dealers several times that he’s work-ing to improve Toyota’s exterior styling, pushing designersto come up with something more exciting. The company is“intent on making Toyota cars better looking,” he told report-ers Monday during his first-ever visit to the North AmericanInternational Auto Show in Detroit.
After becoming the world’s largest automaker in 2007,Toyota reversed course and resumed giving executives inJapan the final say on design decisions for the U.S. market.
Some question whether that change left Toyota at a disadvan-tage as Hyundai, Ford and General Motors moved quicker totailor new designs specifically for U.S. car buyers.
Mike Jackson, CEO of Autonation, the country’s largest cardealer network, says that in the past, sedans sold based primar-ily on their quality, reliability and resale values. Automakersbelieved “the styling should be conservative enough to not putpeople off,” he said. “I don’t think that’s the future. Now youhave to differentiate yourself.”
