OTTAWA — Thanks to
‘the boys’
drastic cuts made to county
departments in 2009, Putnam
County now sits in sound
financial shape. Fifteen per-
cent reductions were instituted
to all who receive dollars from
the general fund. Though there
was controversy over whether
the sheriff’s department should
be included, adjustments were
made that positioned commis-
sioners to balance this year’s
budget without counting on
state funding.
Local Government Funds
are allocated to Ohio’s 88
counties based on popula-
tion. The avenue stream is
expected to be cut because
the state faces an $8 billion
deficit in the upcoming bien-
nial budget to take effect in
July. Fortunately for Putnam
County, cuts needed closer to
the beginning of the recession
are still in place.
“In Local Government
Funds, we normally get
around $400,000. We budget-
ed on the safe side by project-
ing that at $200,000 for the
first half of the year and zero
after the new state budget.
That’s how we budgeted and
we balanced it. We’re in good
shape,” Commissioner Vince
Schroeder said.
“Back then, our budget com-
mission recommended the 15
percent cut to balance the budget
because our revenue had dropped
and we needed it then but we’ve
continued it. That turned out to
be a good thing; we see how
everyone is struggling but we’re
sitting comfortably.”
Putnam County Auditor
Robert Benroth has his “finger
on the pulse” of expenditures
and revenues. Concerning the
cuts, he echoes the commis-
sioner’s comment.
“That was a smart move;
we were ahead of the curve
compared to a lot of counties.
We worked together and we
did it early. Had we waited,
it would have required a big-
ger cut. This year, General
Fund appropriations were
$7,749,000. We haven’t been
at that level since 2005 when
it was $7,610,000. Before we
made the cuts in 2009, it was
$8.6 million. Budgets tend to
go up every year but we’ve
gone back to 2005 spending
because of the 15 percent cuts
we made,” he said.
Commissioners also
increased the sales tax by 1/4
percent to the state maximum
of 7 percent. They also refi-
nanced the jail to pay it off
early and had been setting
money aside for it.
“We increased the sales
tax and that helped. We have
a healthy carry-over of $1.9
million and we cut our pay-
ment on the jail that would
have been paid off in 2021 but
we cut that down to 2016 and
put an extra $700,000 toward
it. When we get the jail paid
off, we may be able to look at
reducing the extra 1/4-percent
sales tax,” Schroeder said.
Benroth explains that the
state takes most of the coun-
ty’s sales tax, so in order to
boost local revenue, it had to
be increased.
“Sales tax is our biggest
source of revenue. For 2010,
it was $3,961,288. Only 1
1/2 percent stays in Putnam
County but the January pay-
ment was $375,000. That was
collected in November and
that’s the highest that month
has ever been,” he said.
The bad news is the inevi-
table has only been put off in
county-wide law enforcement.
Sheriff Jim Beutler said he has
gotten by because of federal
stimulus money but that is less
than a permanent solution to
the predicament commission-
ers created.
“We laid off six people
back then because the com-
missioners cut $507,000 from
my budget. The timing was
perfect for me to apply for
federal stimulus money. I got
just less than $1 million and
hired those people back after
five or six months. We didn’t
spend it all, so we got a six-
month extension and we got
$80,000 from the state to carry
us past the June 30 deadline.
That puts us into August or
maybe September but we’ll be
back to square one and have to
go back to having six people
laid off because they never
restored the more-than-half-
a-million they cut from my
budget,” he said.
The sheriff says his office
has added many dollars to
county coffers and would pre-
fer that be rewarded.
“I generated nearly a mil-
lion dollars for the county.
I saved them the $507,000
they cut, plus the more-
than-$230,000 I returned
from my budget. People don’t
realize how much money my
department has generated
and saved the county, yet my
department is the one that will conversation and remove any caught it, he was only given a

sure I would have found my true career calling if I hadn’t
attended Wright State. After switching colleges and majors
frequently, I enrolled here in the engineering program. An
advisor asked me, specifically, why engineering? When I
replied that I loved the creative side of engineering, the

LIMA (AP) — A judge
has approved a $2.5 million
wrongful death settlement
in the fatal shooting of an
unarmed woman by a police
officer. The shooting during a
drug raid in 2008 set off pro-
tests about police treatment of
minorities.

the star of Donate Life Ohio’s

When it’s empty, the chair
represents overwhelming sad-
ness from the loss of someone
who was waiting for a trans-

someone is sit-

it showcases a

of the campaign
is “Don’t let another chair

The Boys Mubarak

ance company to the family
of Tarika Wilson, The Lima
News reported. The black
woman was shot by a white
police officer when police
raided her home in the north-
west Ohio city on Jan. 4,
2008. Officers were looking
for Wilson’s boyfriend, who
later pleaded guilty to drug
trafficking.
Wilson, the 26-year-old
mother of six children, was
holding her 1-year-old son,
Sincere. He was shot in the
shoulder and hand.
Lima police Sgt. Joseph
Chavalia was acquitted of
charges of negligent homicide
and negligent assault in the
shooting. He testified that he
heard gunfire and thought his
life was in danger. The shots
came from officers shooting
at dogs in another part of the
home.
Wilson’s family and survi-
vors will get about $1.36 mil-
lion of the settlement money,
and attorneys will receive
a portion, the newspaper
reported.
The wrongful death settle-
ment did not include more
than $253,000 the judge
approved to go to Wilson’s
son for his injuries from the
raid. The boy also has a claim
in the wrongful death por-
tion.
Attorney Cheryl
Washington, representing
Wilson’s mother, told the
judge that the boy is expected
to recover full use of his arm.
Washington and the city’s
legal department did not
immediately return calls on
Friday. A telephone number
for Wilson’s mother, Darla
Jennings, was not immedi-
ately available.

Holdgreve and his fam-
ily, wife Brooke and three
children, have resumed life
much like it was before his
diagnosis but with a mission
he didn’t have before.
“After the surgery, I was
sitting in the doctor’s office
and the first questions I
asked him were ‘how did
this happen and why?’ He
said he didn’t know, except
that I’m 34 and white. Those
are the two major risk fac-
tors; I didn’t have a family
history but my two boys now
do, so they are more at risk.
“I wanted to do some-
thing, so I started the Web
site. I found out there’s no
funding for testicular cancer
research and no awareness
programs at ‘The James.’
It offers thousands of pro-
grams and over 200-and-
some research grants but not
for testicular cancer.”
As a survivor and aware-
ness advocate, Holdgreve is
raising funds for an endow-
ment at The James and will
hold a bowling event April
30 at the Delphos bowling
alley with a karaoke event
to follow at the fireman’s
clubhouse. Bowling for the
Boyz costs $15 per person
and includes three games
and shoes, snacks and two

be door prizes, raffles and
auction items. Event details,

In Baghdad, lawmak-

political parties cheered
Mubarak’s resignation as a
win for democracy — a sys-

nation.
“The resignation
Mubarak represents one of the
marvelous days in history,”
said Sunni lawmaker Jamal
al-Battekh, a member of the

will of the youth, who have
the ability to say no to the

In Tunisia, cries of joy and

One of the gentry says that

the lines of all the princi-

of the country, the informa-
tion that a regular hobo
headquarters exists near
Delphos being advertised on
every water tank between
Pittsburg and Chicago and
Toledo and Cincinnati.
This is probably the reason
why so many tramps come
Delphos way.
A visit to the improvised
camp in the Krieft wood is an
interesting experience. The
hoboes had erected a large
piece of tin roof on stilts
in the center of the wood,
and surrounded it with corn
fodder and brush, wherein
they could lie around a roar-
ing fire and find protection
from the cold winter winds.
Each of the members of the
“easy fraternity” contributes
his “hand-out” to the general
larder, and at meal times a
big feast is had. Big lard
cans are provided, in which
generous hunks of beef are
boiled, with cabbage, toma-
toes and potatoes, making

Ghonim tweeted a cel-

On the other side of the
world, CIA Director Leon
Panetta said that Mubarak
likely would be stepping
down later in the day.
These were, alas, pre-
mature pronouncements.
Instead of stepping down,
Mubarak chastised foreign
governments, remind-
ing them and his fellow
Egyptians that he was the
leader of a civilization dat-

a mere 200-plus), and that
he was sticking around.

ous presence of from two to
a dozen tramps at the camp,
and the maintenance of a
fire, the strip of wood has
been cleared of dead limbs
and all pieces of timber lying
on the ground. Doubtless
chicken coops of the vicinity
are raided occasionally, but
if the hennery of the Krieft
farm is disturbed it is not
known. About 300 chickens
are kept at the farm, and the
residence thereon is unoc-
cupied this winter. Several
attempts have been made to
break up the camp, but it’s
no use. One set of tramps
driven away is soon replaced
by another, and the cooking
and snoozing goes on. The
large piece of tin that served
as a roof for the shack, was
removed, but still the tramps
came, and other shelter was
provided with corn fodder
and pieces of timber. The
hoboes lie on corn fodder,
toasting one side and freez-
ing the other, but they don’t
seem to mind it, and all
goes well. Scraps among
them are not very frequent,
and while they are a con-
stant menace to hen roosts
and smoke houses, no seri-
ous depredations have been
reported, as applicable to
them.
While their presence is a
nuisance, the tramps must
have some place to stay,
and lately Mr. Krieft has
taken no extraordinary steps
to dislodge them. With the
coming of the blue-birds in
the spring, the camp will

bunker. On Friday he fired
a couple of parting shots,
one to Mubarak (leave)
and one to Western gov-
ernments (stay out of our
business).
To those sentiments, we
might add a note to tweet-
ers and speechwriters:
Scratch “Mission accom-
plished” from the lexicon.
Now that Mubarak
has stepped down, what
happens next is anyone’s
guess. And we will con-
tinue to guess, not only
because we are voyeurs to
history, but also because
this is irresistibly fasci-
nating. Beyond the politi-
cal repercussions rooted
in the here and now are
other timeless themes.
The transformation taking
place isn’t only for Egypt
but for mankind.
Perhaps we are not
doomed after all.
This possibility is sug-
gested by a single vignette
from Thursday night
when protesters reacting
to Mubarak’s profoundly
banal speech raced to the
palace and stood in front
of tanks. Unarmed men
and women inspired by
tweets of freedom stared
into the bullying arma-
ments of dead ways.
It was a stark image
of the prolonged battle
between good and evil that
humans apparently have
been fated to fight. This
time, enabled by what we
casually call social media,
evil finally may be out-
gunned.

Tomorrow’s Horoscope
Sunday, Feb. 13, 2011
The tide of events could bring
about desirable changes that you
are unable to make on your own,
provided you recognize them and
not be afraid to join the forces.
New people, new interests and new
developments could come into your
life.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -
Try to do more than just think about
possible plans that might work that
could transform your life. Unless
you take some steps to make things
happen, nothing will change.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -
An older person’s thinking could
be the source of bringing about an
arrangement that could lead to some
large financial growth for you, so
don’t think down on the idea just
because of his/her age.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -
There is a certain amount of magic
that can take place with team-
related arrangements that doesn’t
always happen with what is done
singularly. Team up for success.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -
Even if you don’t get the pats on
the back or verbal accolades for
something exceptionally good
you’ve done at work, you will get
the material rewards.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
- You’ll get a chance to take
advantage of an opportunity to better
yourself or your work that won’t be
recognizable to your associates.
Don’t mess up the chance of doing
so.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -
Bring a conclusion to a matter that
has been a source of irritation to you
for far too long. Make sure you put
it to rest once and for all.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - There is
nothing about which to be fearful
about tackling a project that is
exceptionally large in scope if you
know you can do it. The good results
you’re anticipating will happen.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - Now
is the time to devote yourself and
talents to take on an ambitious
project. If you do well, and chances
are you will, you will be handsomely
rewarded for your input.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - It’s
OK to bet on yourself, but not
necessarily on others. If you must
take a chance, restrict the risk
only to what you should be able to
control and where you can call all
the shots.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -
What makes you so fortunate is
that there will be others looking
out for your interests. Because they
are detached, chances are they will
be able to do a better job of it than
you.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec.
21) - You will come out far better
in situations where you are dealing
with several people simultaneously
as opposed to negotiating with only
