Jennings approves
its 2012 budget

FORT JENNINGS
Council here addressed
a light agenda Tuesday
evening, passing its 2012
Budget and approving rou-
tine maintenance projects.
The outlook projects
$373,863 in the General
Fund on Dec. 31, 2012
with a starting balance
of $444,331; revenue of
$188,171; and total expen-
ditures of $258,639.
Maintenance worker
Ted Wrasman reported the
check valves and pump con-
trol at the villages lagoon
system were replaced on
June 1 and after he looked
at the time the pumps were
running from June 1 up to
Monday and found they
each operated 3.07 hours
per day, down from 6.77
hours per day in the prior
20 days.
According to former
maintenance worker Paul
Kramer, the check valves
were 14 years old and had
not been replaced since
the system came online in
1998.
Wrasman added the roof
at the Police Station was
leaking in times of heavy
rainfall and he would mon-
itor it.
Mayor Jim Smith
informed Wrasman that
four catch basins in the
village need attention. He
also told him to check
the animal guard at the
storm sewer drain at Fort
Jennings Park.
Smith also said a new
park board member may
be interested in finishing
the new decking for the
walking bridge over the
Auglaize River behind the
fire station. Wrasman said
the boards were already cut
and ready to be placed.
Smith told council 300
bicentennial books have
been pre-ordered and the
second installment was due
and the money accounted
for.
Books will be printed
in hard and soft cover at
a cost of $45 and $35,
respectively.
The committee hopes
to have the books before
Christmas.
The next meeting will
begin at 7:30 p.m. July 19.

No free ride home for lost penguin
By NICK PERRY
The Associated Press
PEKA PEKA BEACH,
New Zealand There
will be no free ride back to
Antarctica for a young pen-
guin who defied the odds
by swimming all the way to
New Zealand. The trip could
spread infections, authorities
say, and theres no way to
transport the animal this time
of year.
Wildlife officials said
Wednesday they will let
nature take its course after
the Emperor penguin ended
up on picturesque Peka Peka
Beach on New Zealands
North Island 2,000 miles
(3,200 kilometers) from
Antarctic waters in the
countrys first sighting of the
bird in the wild in 44 years.
The penguin could have
caught a disease by swim-
ming through warmer climes,
and wildlife officials would
not want to be responsible for
introducing illnesses into the

Todays words:
Gammacism: childish talk
Proletaneous: having many children
Todays joke:
A boy had reached 4 without giving up the habit of
sucking his thumb even though his mother had tried
everything from bribery to reasoning to painting it
with lemon juice to discourage the habit. Finally she
tried threats, warning her son that, If you dont stop
sucking your thumb, your stomach is going to blow
up like a balloon.
Later that day, walking in the park, mother and
son saw a pregnant woman sitting on a bench. The
4-year-old considered her gravely for a minute, then
spoke to her saying, Uh-oh ... I know what youve
been doing.

The collapse is in an
area where crews with
the Ohio Department of
Transportations Hardin
County garage had been
working to correct an ongo-
ing drainage issue which
had been affecting the road
shoulder. The excavated area
became unstable when sandy
soil was reached causing the
road shoulder to pull farther
away from the road and thus
providing less stability for the
pavement.

the insulated Antarctic
penguin colony, said Peter
Simpson, a program man-
ager for New Zealands
Department of Conservation.
Then there are the logis-
tics.
Right now, it is dark almost
24 hours a day in Antarctica.
Virtually no one travels there
this time of year, Simpson
said, and even if they did,
there would be no simple way
to transport and cool a bird
that stands almost three 3 feet
(1 meter) high and is well
insulated with fat.
Wildlife officials say the
penguin has been eating wet
sand, likely mistaking it for
snow, and Simpson said its
plight has sparked entreaties
from around the world ask-
ing New Zealand to help the
penguin get home since it
was spotted by a resident on
Monday.
We are going to let nature
take its course, he said. It
roamed here naturally. What
is wrong with that?
Simpson said he hopes
the bird will find its own
way back particularly as it
starts to become hungry. The
penguin appears healthy and
well fed, he added, and may
not need another meal for
several weeks.
The unusual bird attracted
all sorts of attention at the
beach Wednesday. School
groups visited, television
crews took footage, and
onlookers snapped photos
and even sketched it.
The penguin has been rest-
ing on the sand throughout
the day but apparently has
been taking to the water at
night, Simpson said.
Experts dont know if the
bird is a male or female
because the two sexes are
almost indistinguishable
among Emperor penguins.
The tallest and largest spe-
cies of penguin, Emperors
typically spend their entire
lives in Antarctica. Their
amazing journey to breeding
grounds deep in the Antarctic
was chronicled in the 2005
documentary March of the
Penguins, which highlighted
their ability to survive and
breed despite the regions
brutal winter.
Christine Wilton was walk-
ing her dog Monday when
she discovered the bird and
called conservation authori-
ties. She said it seemed a little
more lethargic Wednesday
than earlier in the week but
was still alert and appeared
unfazed by all the attention.
It looks really grand when
it stands up, she said. I hope
it stays safe, I really do, because
it is just too precious.
Estimated to be about
10 months old, the penguin
probably was born during the
last Antarctic winter and may
have been searching for squid
and krill when it got lost,
experts said.
The last confirmed sight-
ing of a wild Emperor in
New Zealand was in 1967
at the southern Oreti Beach,
Simpson said.

Transocean: BP decisions
led to Gulf disaster
By HARRY R. WEBER
ATLANTA The owner
of the rig that exploded in
the Gulf of Mexico last year
largely blames oil giant BP
for the disaster in an internal
investigation report released
today that goes a long way
in bolstering the Swiss firms
arguments in responding to
pending lawsuits and expected
government fines.
The Transocean report said
the April 20, 2010, Deepwater
Horizon explosion and result-
ing oil spill was sparked by
a succession of well design,
construction, and temporary
abandonment decisions that
compromised the integrity of
the well and compounded the
risk of its failure. Transocean
said many of the decisions were
made by well owner BP in the
two weeks before the incident.
The report doesnt say
Transocean holds no blame for
what caused the disaster, but it
comes pretty close. In one of
the few references to something
Transocean workers didnt do
correctly, the company report
noted that none of the people
monitoring the well, includ-
ing the Transocean drill crew,
initially detected the flow of oil
through the well. However, the
report said that once the crew
did realize the well was flow-
ing, it undertook well-control
activities that were consistent
with its training. Transocean
said the explosion was inevi-
table at that point.
Transocean said its evi-
dence indicates that BP failed
to properly assess, manage and
communicate risk. On one key
aspect the failure of the
blowout preventer to keep oil
from leaking into the sea
Transocean seemed to suggest
it takes no blame.
BPs own internal report on
the disaster blamed a cascade of
failures by multiple companies
for the disaster. Government
investigations also have spread
around the blame.
The findings by all of the
various sides will be argued
about for months and perhaps
years to come as numerous law-
suits make their way through
court. The companies involved
in the disaster have sued each
other seeking to recoup losses or
expected losses from the disas-
ter. Fines ultimately imposed
by the government could be in
the billions of dollars, and the
companies involved have been
trying to shield themselves as
much as possible.
The Transocean report said
the findings dont represent the
companys legal position, but
they are consistent with many
of the arguments the firm has
been making for more than a
year, and they are likely to be
cited by Transocean in future
proceedings.
BP officials did not respond
to several requests for com-
ment.
In addition to owning the
well that blew out, London-
based BP was leasing the rig
that exploded from Transocean.
Eleven rig workers were killed
and the government estimates
some 206 million gallons of oil
spewed from BPs Macondo
well a mile beneath the sea
before the well was capped
three months later.
In 1990, Ken Griffey and
Ken Griffey Jr., playing for
the Seattle Mariners, became
the first father-son duo to be
in the same Major League
Baseball lineup.

WASHINGTON (AP)
President Barack Obamas
health care law would let sev-
eral million middle-class peo-
ple get nearly free insurance
meant for the poor, a twist
government number crunchers
say they discovered only after
the complex bill was signed.
The change would affect
early retirees: A married couple
could have an annual income
of about $64,000 and still get
Medicaid, said officials who
make long-range cost estimates
for the Health and Human
Services department.
After initially downplaying
any concern, the Obama admin-
istration said late Tuesday it
would look for a fix.
Up to 3 million more peo-
ple could qualify for Medicaid
in 2014 as a result of the
anomaly. Thats because, in
a major change from today,
most of their Social Security
benefits would no longer be
counted as income for deter-
mining eligibility. It might be
compared to allowing middle-
class people to qualify for food
stamps.
Medicare chief actuary
Richard Foster says the situa-
tion keeps him up at night.
I dont generally comment
on the pros or cons of poli-
cy, but that just doesnt make
sense, Foster said during a
question-and-answer session
at a recent professional society
meeting.
This is a situation that
got no attention at all, added
Foster. And even now, as I
raise the issue with various
policymakers, people are not
rushing to say ... we need to do
something about this.
Administration officials
said Tuesday they now see the
problem. We are concerned
that, as a matter of law, some
middle-income Americans
may be receiving coverage
through Medicaid, which is
meant to serve only the needi-
est Americans, said Health
and Human Services spokes-
man Richard Sorian. We are
exploring options to address
this issue.
Administration officials and
senior Democratic lawmakers
initially defended the change,
saying it wasnt a loophole but
the result of a well-meaning
effort to simplify the rules for
deciding who would get help
under the new health care law.
Instead of a hodgepodge, there
would be one national policy.
But Sen. Orrin Hatch of
Utah, the ranking Republican
on the Senate Finance
Committee, called the situa-
tion unacceptable and said
he intended to look into it.
Governors have been clam-
oring for relief from Medicaid
costs, complaining that federal
rules drive up spending and
limit state options. The pro-
gram is now one of the top
issues in budget negotiations
between the White House and
Congress. Republicans want to
roll back federal requirements
that block states from limiting
eligibility.
Medicaid is a safety net
program that serves more
than 50 million vulnerable
Americans, from low-income
children and pregnant women
to Alzheimers patients in
nursing homes. Its designed
as a federal-state partnership,
with Washington paying close
to 60 percent of the total cost.
Early retirees would be
a new group for Medicaid.
While retirees can now start
collecting Social Security at
age 62, they must wait another
three years to get Medicare,
unless theyre disabled.

WASHINGTON
President Barack Obama
will set the course for draw-
ing down the U.S. war in
Afghanistan on today, when
he is expected to announce
plans to bring roughly 10,000
American troops home in less
than a year.
In a prime-time address
from the White House,
Obama is likely to outline a
phased withdrawal that will
bring 5,000 troops home this
summer and an additional
5,000 by winter or spring
2012, according to a senior
U.S. defense official. That
timeline could allow military
commanders to keep high
troop levels in Afghanistan
for two more crucial fighting
seasons.
But the cuts expected this
year may not be substantial
enough to satisfy some law-
makers on Capitol Hill and a
war-weary public.
The president reached his
decision a week after receiv-
ing a range of options from
Gen. David Petraeus, the top
U.S. and NATO command-
er in Afghanistan. Obama
informed his senior national
security advisers, including
outgoing Defense Secretary
Robert Gates and Secretary
of State Hillary Rodham
Clinton, of his plans dur-
ing a White House meeting
Tuesday.
Obama is also weigh-
ing a timeline for bringing
home the remaining 20,000
of the 30,000 surge troops
he ordered to Afghanistan as
part of his December 2009
decision to send reinforce-
ments to reverse the Talibans
battlefield momentum. The
withdrawals would put the
U.S. on a path toward giving
Afghans control of their secu-
rity by 2014 and ultimately
shifting the U.S. military
from a combat role to a mis-
sion focused on training and
supporting Afghan forces.
The Obama administra-
tion has said its goal in con-
tinuing the Afghanistan war,
now in its 10th year, is to
blunt the Taliban insurgen-
cy and dismantle and defeat
al-Qaida, the terror network
that used the country as a
training ground for the Sept.
11, 2001, attacks on the U.S.
As of Tuesday, at least 1,522
members of the U.S. military
had died in Afghanistan as
a result of the U.S. invasion
of Afghanistan in late 2001,
according to an Associated
Press count.
About 100,000 U.S. troops
are in the country, three times
as many as when Obama
took office. Even by drawing
down the 30,000 reinforce-
ments, there still will be great
uncertainty about how long
the remaining 70,000 troops
would stay there, although the
U.S. and its allies have set
Dec. 31, 2014, as a target date
for ending the combat mis-
sion in Afghanistan.
A reduction this year
totaling 10,000 troops would
be the rough equivalent of
two brigades, which are the
main building blocks of an
Army division. Its not clear
whether Obamas decision
would require the Pentagon to
pull out two full brigades or,
instead, withdraw a collection
of smaller combat and sup-
port units with an equivalent
number of troops.
If Obama were to leave
the bulk of the 30,000 surge
contingent in Afghanistan
through 2012, he would be
giving the military another
fighting season in addi-
tion to the one now under
way to further damage
Taliban forces before a larger
withdrawal got started. It also
would buy more time for the
Afghan army and police to
grow in numbers and capa-
bility.
Under that scenario, the
emphasis in U.S.-led military
operations is likely to shift
away from troop-intensive
counterinsurgency operations
toward more narrowly focused
counterterrorism operations,
which focus on capturing and
killing insurgents.

ATLANTA Newt
Gingrichs top two fund-
raising advisers resigned on
Tuesday, and officials said
the Republican candidates
hobbling presidential cam-
paign carried more than $1
million in debt.
The departures of fundrais-
ing director Jody Thomas and
fundraising consultant Mary
Heitman were the latest blow
for the former House speaker
who watched 16 top advis-
ers abandon his campaign
en masse earlier this month,
partly because of what people
familiar with the campaign
spending described as a dire
financial situation.
These people, who spoke
on the condition of anonym-
ity because they were not
authorized to discuss the cam-
paign inner workings, said
the former Georgia lawmaker
racked up massive travel bills
but money had only trickled
in since he got into the race
earlier this spring.
These officials said that
he is at least $1 million in
debt. The current fundrais-
ing quarter ends June 30, and
Gingrich will have to disclose
his campaign finances by July
15. He is personally wealthy
and could fund his campaign
out of his own pocket, at least
in the short term, to keep his
campaign afloat.
Gingrich has insisted that
he will not abandon his trou-
bled bid and will continue
fighting for the Republican
nomination for president no
matter what it takes. Hes
revamping his campaign,
given the series of depar-
tures.
Newt 2012 continues its
reorganization and alignment
as a grassroots driven, sub-
stantive, solutions-oriented
campaign, a spokesman,
R.C. Hammond, told The
Associated Press, adding that
the campaign is as commit-
ted as ever.
He said aides and vol-
unteers continue to raise
money, despite the absences
of Thomas and Heitman.
Hammond refused to discuss
details of the financial situ-
ation.
Heitman, a former fund-
raiser with the Republican
National Committee, declined
to comment. Thomas did not
return a phone call seeking
comment.
Underscoring the finan-
cial difficulties he faces,
Gingrich has traded in pri-
vate jets for commercial
flights; on Tuesday, he was
traveling commercially from
Washington for an appear-
ance in Georgia.
Troubles have plagued the
Gingrich campaign since its
formal launch just five weeks
ago.
He drew fire from con-
servatives after an appear-
ance on NBCs Meet the
Press, in which he likened a
Republican budget plan that
passed the House to right-
wing social engineering.
Days of bad publicity fol-
lowed revelations that he had
a no-interest loan account
at luxury jeweler Tiffanys
worth up to $500,000. And
just as the GOP presiden-
tial race began to heat up,
Gingrich disappeared on a
luxury cruise in the Greek
Isles with his wife, Callista.
Then, his top advisers
walked on him.
He has refused to answer
questions about his rocky
rollout, his vacation to the
Mediterranean or the exo-
dus of his top staff from his
headquarters near Atlanta
and from the early nominat-
ing states.
I will endure the chal-
lenges. I will carry the mes-
sage of American renewal to
every part of this great land,
Gingrich told a crowded
ballroom at a Beverly Hills
hotel recently. And with the
help of every American who
wants to change Washington,
we will prevail.
By BETH FOUHY

JERSEY CITY, N.J.
Republican Jon Huntsman
joined the presidential race
Tuesday with the Statue of
Liberty over his shoulder,
asserting that he and President
Barack Obama both love their
country but have far differ-
ent visions of its future. He
pledged to halt an un-Ameri-
can fading of national confi-
dence and power.
Hoping to set himself apart
from other candidates, he also
promised to run a civil cam-
paign for the GOP nomination
at a time of heated partisan
rhetoric.
The former Utah gover-
nor focused on Obama, not
his Republican rivals, in his
announcement address in the
patriotic setting where Ronald
Reagan launched his fall pres-
idential campaign in 1980.
Huntsman said, The question
each of us wants the voters to
answer is, Who will be the
better president, not whos the
better American.
As for his pledge of civility,
he said, Our political debates
today are corrosive and not
reflective of the belief that
Abe Lincoln espoused back
in his day, that we are a great
country because we are a good
country.
The announcement was all
formality for Huntsman, 51.
His aides have been planning
the bid for months, and the
candidate himself has spent
the weeks since he returned to
the United States from China
visiting early primary voting
states, courting donors and
building a full-fledged cam-
paign.
He joins a GOP field that
includes come candidates
far better known than he as
Republicans search for a
strong challenger to Obama, a
Democrat seeking his second
term. Former Massachusetts
Gov. Mitt Romney leads most
early national polls and some
surveys in states that hold the
first contests of the Republican
nomination fight.
Huntsmans wife, Mary
Kaye, and six of his seven
children joined him for the
announcement. The fam-
ily made a dramatic entrance,
walking together across a large
field before taking the stage.
The multimillionaire busi-
nessman stressed his record
in Utah, where he won praise
from conservative groups for
cutting taxes and recruiting
new business to the state. He
served as governor from 2005
to early 2009, when Obama
offered him the China post.
In his speech, Huntsman
tried to embrace Reagans
signature optimism about the
U.S. even as he warned that
the country could slip into
decline.
For the first time in histo-
ry, we are passing down to the
next generation a country that
is less powerful, less compas-
sionate, less competitive and
less confident than the one
we got, he said. This, ladies
and gentlemen, is totally unac-
ceptable and it is totally un-
American.
He vowed to create jobs,
streamline the tax code and
work to keep the federal bud-
get from being swallowed by
Medicare and other entitle-
ment programs and interest
payments on the national
debt.
We must make hard deci-
sions that are necessary to
avert disaster, he said
Huntsman, who served as
ambassador to China under
Obama until April, said he
respected the president but
would steer the county in a
different direction.
He and I have a differ-
ence of opinion on how to
help a country we both love,
Huntsman said.

Editor reveals excerpts
from The Amish Appeal
BY KEVIN WILLIAMS

The Amish Appeal
is a romance novel, with
an appendix of authentic
Amish recipes at the end.
The story centers around
the experiences
of Abe Schwartz,
a 24-year-old
Amish man
who is still sort-
ing through
his beliefs and
goals in life. The
Amish Appeal
follows what
happens when
Abe encounters
27-year-old Paige
Roberts, a viva-
cious, beautiful and brainy
attorney from Chicago who
stumbles upon the Schwartz
farm outside of Berne,
Indiana.
The Amish Appeal chron-
icles Abes life as he finds
himself caught between the
deeply held beliefs of his
faith and the more ambigu-
ous rules of the rest of the
world. During this journey
Abe is forced to choose
between pacifism and prac-
ticality, between the strict
rules of religion and the
gray areas of compromise.
Adding to the complications
are desires of the heart as
he finds himself increasing-
ly attracted to Paige, who
inhabits a very different
world. Part of The Amish
Appeal revolves around
Abes attempts to find a
common ground between
the two.
The Amish Appeal is
my first work of fiction.
As the editor and creator of
The Amish Cook column
I am always seeking new
avenues to share my knowl-
edge about plain culture. I
thought a novel would be a
fun way to do this.
Following are two mini-
excerpts from The Amish
Appeal.

CHAPTER THREE:
What happened over
the next couple of months
wasnt planned. I know some
people might not believe it,
but its true. Yes, I did find
Paige captivating. And there
was something very real
about her. True, Paige was
a highly educated
woman with an
important career,
but she also
seemed genuinely
interested in lifes
simpler side. The
Amish occasion-
ally have pen pals,
its a great way
to expand ones
horizons without
tapping into the
indulgences of the
internet. I thought the most
that would occur is that I
would learn a little about her
life in Chicago and maybe
Paige would learn a bit more
about the Amish....but the
months ahead would prove
my initial assumptions to be
quite incorrrect....

CHAPTER TEN:
I vaulted out of my chair
and started to run outside,
but then stopped. I turned
around and gave Grandma
Ada a hug and a kiss on the
cheek.
Thank you, Grandma.
She beamed.
Grandma Ada did
good?
Yes, you did. I said.
Very good.
Then I ran outside. My
mind was a blur. I had to
think fast. Grandma had
bought me some time.
Maybe. At least if the guy
was dumb enough to fall
for such a flimsy story. My
sister Loretta followed me
outside. The sky was a
hazy, summery blue and our
rusty windmills blades did
creaky cartwheels above
the barn. Flies and wasps
buzzed around the home-
made bug traps hanging
from the apple trees. Our
black and white border col-
lie, Speck, snoozed in the
shade under one of our bug-
gies parked outside of our
shop. It was one of those
heat-infused summer days
where everything seemed to
move in sticky slow motion,
at least it seemed to until
Grandma Adas revelation.
Abe, whats going on?
Is Paige in trouble? Loretta
asked, drying her hands on
the white apron covering her
rust-colored dress.
I was quiet for a second,
Yes. Yes, I think she
is.

SPORTS
Im waiting to see
what will come out of
the National Football
League owners
meeting Tuesday and
likely today.
The likelihood
that we will see an
abbreviated schedule
in 2011 is now loom-
ing ever more real.
Before, it was a possibility but one that was unreal
because it wasnt an immediate chance. The sides had time
to come to an agreement.
Now, though, with training camps set to open in a couple
of weeks, that unreality is now very real.
It just seems that both sides are digging in, especially the
owners in smaller markets. Apparently, some do not like
what is being discussed by Roger Goodell and his guys in
their meetings with the players.
Plus, with some of the statements some of the players
have made, it just seems that some though by no means
all also dont like it and are willing to sit out.
As I have written before, I disagree with the proposed
18-game schedule from the owners but I also think the own-
ers it is their money theyve invested, after all have a
certain right to make money on their investment and have a
better idea of what player expenses will be. I grant that to every
person who owns a business and that, to me, is standard.
I dont really think a rookie wage scale is a sticking point
I figure most veterans agree to give the money to guys
that have proven they can play this game versus unproven.
I also dont believe that the owners are dead-set for an
18-game season.
So then, the real sticking point is how to divide the pool
of money. To a lesser extent but one that I think must be
addressed is what to do with retired players.
The question I ask is will todays players be willing to
perhaps sit out a season to try and get former players taken
care of. In all honesty, the union didnt seem and I use the
term seem because I really dont know what was going
on behind the scenes to have too much concern for those
that didnt play anymore, especially older guys.
I have no idea how its all going to work out whether
a 60-40 split or something will be satisfactory but here
is my guess as to what may ultimately happen: if the NFL
owners stick by their guns and more or less decide to write
off the season if that is the only way they feel they can
restore that proper balance then I believe NBA and
NHL owners, as well as those in the MLB, will follow.
As one NBA player has tried to claim, all the owners
have to do is have financial discipline. However, if the
playing field is so uneven as to benefit one of the sides
and I believe that is the case involving Major League
Baseball with its arbitrators and such; that when an owner
(or owners) decides to have that fiscal discipline and not
spend themselves into ruin, they are immediately found
guilty of collusion then that claim is bogus. Or when a
small-market owner doesnt spend like a drunken sailor, he
is pilloried by agents, et al, I rest my case.
When you have agents that actually thought baseball was
recession-proof and tried to push the claim that their free
agents in the winter of 2010 were being colluded against
because the offers made werent in keeping with their
expectations, you see what I mean.
What I think will happen in the long run is that most
players and owners will clamor for a deal to be done, that
ultimately, they know that neither side will come out of this
unsullied and it will cause ripples years down the road.
For example, by all accounts, the NBA is experiencing
tremendous growth and popularity; the players know this.
Some players have already spoken about the impact a
lockout will have and how it will look to the public.
Again, some are realizing who butters their bread
those fans and the vast majority cant stomach the super-
rich arguing the nicely rich over a couple of bucks.
We shall see if smarter heads will prevail if grown
men can actually listen to each other or if they are all
knuckleheads.
Well see if this is a good move or not by the Florida
Marlins.
With his team stuck in a horrendous slump, manager
Edwin Rodriguez resigned Sunday and Jack McKeon, he of
the ripe young age of 80, is now the Marlins manager for
the rest of 2011. He had been special assistant to the presi-
dent and managed the Marlins to the 2003 World Series. He
retired six years ago, his last job as a manager.
When most octogenarians are in their retirement years,
traveling and visiting children, grandchildren, great-grand-
children and even double greats, plus playing golf, he will
try and turn around the struggling team.
Hes likely forgot more about baseball than most of us
know but apparently is still pretty sharp, so this will be an
interesting story to keep an eye on.
Hes definitely of the old-school network, so it will be
interesting to see how he connects with this new generation
of players. Things change that quickly these days.
They are hoping he can recapture the magic of that sea-
son with a similar performance; taking over a floundering
team and taking them to the World Series.
I imagine he will not be managing in 2012 still, it
might be fun to think he can eventually pass the legendary
Connie Mack, who managed until 1950, when he was 87
but maybe the powers-that-be figure it will be easier to
find a manager in the off-season than now, when you never
know who might be available.
After all, Rodriguez had only been at the helm for slight-
ly less than a year himself.
I wonder what other changes might be in the offing
down in Miami, especially with a new park on the horizon
in 2012.
Whos next?

LIMA JUNIOR GOLF ASSOCIATION
MLB CAPSULES
By BARRY WILNER
ROSEMONT, Ill. NFL
owners have been briefed on
discussions for a new collec-
tive bargaining agree-
ment that would net
the players just under
50 percent of total rev-
enues. Next up: more
talks with the players.
Several people with
knowledge of the nego-
tiations told The Associated
Press that Commissioner Roger
Goodell and his labor commit-
tee will meet with players asso-
ciation chief DeMaurice Smith
on Wednesday and Thursday in
Boston. The owners spent five
hours Tuesday getting updated
on various CBA issues. The
people spoke on condition of
anonymity because the nego-
tiations are supposed to be con-
fidential.
Were going to meet with
them soon and were eager to
accelerate the pace of the nego-
tiations, said Jeff Pash, the
leagues chief negotiator.
One person told the AP
that the players share would
approach the 50 percent the
NFLPA has said it has received
throughout the last decade. But
the expense credits about
$1 billion last year that the
league takes off the top would
disappear.
Also, there would no longer
be designated revenues from
which the players would share,
the person said. Instead, the
players would share from the
entire pie, which they project
will grow significantly
over the course of the
new CBA, which is
expected to run any-
where from six to 10
years. So if they are
taking 48 percent or
more of a much higher
revenue stream without the
initial NFL deduction for oper-
ating expenses the players
still would receive far more
money than they got under the
previous agreement.
A salary floor keeping teams
within 90 percent of the cap also
would be included. The players
have been concerned that some
teams whose revenue streams
dont match up with the richer
clubs would try to hold down
salary spending.
It was a good day in the
sense of we had a full discus-
sion on the issues, Goodell
said. Ownership is united and
determined to reach an agree-
ment and have a full 2011
season.
Several owners were expect-
ed to have objections to some
of the proposals. Goodell was
asked if there was a consensus
among owners, to which he
replied that is a little deceiv-
ing because we dont have an
agreement with the players.
The membership has a
strong view of the priorities
and what we need to do, and
a determination to get there,
Goodell said.
But both sides appear eager
to find common ground for
a new collective bargaining
agreement rather than going
back into court. A U.S. Circuit
Court of Appeals is consid-
ering the leagues appeal of
a lower-court injunction that
originally blocked the lockout.
That injunction is on hold, and
a ruling could come anytime.
This is the season to get
a deal, Indianapolis Colts
owner Jim Irsay said. I think
the logic that youre pushing
on both sides is saying why
get a deal Oct. 1, or whenever,
when you could have had July
7, or whatever.
The lockout began March
12. Training camps are sched-
uled to open in late July.
The person with knowledge
of the negotiations said the
players made economic con-
cessions over the last three
weeks of secret talks on both
revenue percentage and on
future stadium credits; many
NFL teams have heavy debt for
stadium construction.
The next financial model is
going to look more like a divi-
sion of percentage of total rev-
enues, the person said. That
is the context being discussed.
It is a simpler mechanism to
understand. You take away the
60 percent of defined gross rev-
enues, take away the upfront
expense credits that keep grow-
ing and now will be gone, it
becomes easier to deal with the
economics on a macro level.
Other items, such as a rook-
ie wage scale and health ben-
efits, have been discussed in
those owner-player meetings,
but wont be settled until the
revenue split is determined, the
person added.
Goodell said no discussions
were held Tuesday on a poten-
tial full-season Thursday night
TV package that could increase
revenues. With record ratings
last season, the NFLs value to
its broadcast partners never has
been higher.
CFL back on NFL Network:
The Canadian Football League will
be back for a second season on the
NFL Network.
The network announced
Tuesday that two CFL games per
week will be broadcast in the United
States. Theres also an option to
show additional games during the
regular season and playoffs, includ-
ing the Grey Cup championship
game.
Last season, the NFL Network
carried 14 CFL games.
The CFL season starts June
30, with NFL Network broadcast-
ing British Columbia at Montreal.
The Grey Cup in Vancouver, British
Columbia is Nov. 27.
NFL owners, players to meet again
BY BRIAN MAHONEY
NEW YORK Saying it
reflects a desire to go as far
as we can to avoid a lockout,
NBA Commissioner David
Stern revealed Tuesday that
owners have moved off their
insistence on a hard salary
cap.
Players dont see it that
way.
So it appears the cap system
remains as the biggest obstacle
to a new collective bargaining
agreement before the rapidly
approaching June 30 deadline.
Stern said the league has
proposed a flex cap, in which
teams would target a uniform
dollar amount to spend, but
would still be permitted to
exceed it up to an unspecified
level. Players argue its still a
hard cap, because the ceiling
would eventually kick in.
So even though both sides
felt there was progress in what
Stern had said was an impor-
tant day in these negotiations,
a sizable gap remains.
At this point were still
just really far apart on the larg-
est issue of hard salary cap,
and still some economic issues
as well, players association
president Derek Fisher of the
Lakers said.
Calling it virtually the best
shot we think we have to avoid
a work stoppage, Stern said the
owners proposal would ensure
that players total compensa-
tion would never fall below
$2 billion a year in a 10-year
contract, slightly less than the
league paid this season.
He said the average player
salary would be about $5 mil-
lion and Deputy Commissioner
Adam Silver said the goal
would be an eventual 50-50
split of basketball revenues.
The players are currently guar-
anteed 57 percent.
Though Stern refused to
call this his last offer, he said
the cupboard is getting barer
and barer.
Its all out there, he said.
The owners to a person feel
this is what we have to give.
The flex cap offer had
previously been proposed to
the players, but had not
been disclosed publicly until
Tuesday. According to Stern,
teams would be targeted to
spend approximately $62 mil-
lion, with the option to spend
above through certain excep-
tions before reaching a limit
they could not exceed.
Under the current soft sal-
ary cap, teams can use various
exceptions to exceed the cap,
with the penalty of a dollar for
dollar luxury tax once they reach
the threshold. The cap this year
was $58 million, and the NBA
champion Dallas Mavericks,
under big-spending owner Mark
Cuban, blew well past the tax
level of $70 million.
The union made a proposal
that offered more than $500
million in player salary reduc-
tions over the life of a five-
year contract, a person with
knowledge of the proposal told
The Associated Press. The per-
son, who requested anonym-
ity because the details were not
released, said the reductions
would be made by slicing the
players guarantee from its cur-
rent 57 percent to 54.3 percent.
Stern called that proposal
modest but directionally
better than the unions previ-
ous ones and said the play-
ers asked for another meeting
Friday.
NBA owners, players swap proposals, to meet Friday
MIAMI The Florida Marlins new
80-year-old manager still has the win-
ning touch.
Jack McKeon earned his first victory
since coming out of retirement when the
Marlins broke an 11-game losing streak
by beating the Los Angeles Angels 5-2
on Tuesday night.
Javier Vazquez and five relievers
gave up 13 hits and the Angels had at
least one hit in every inning, but went 1
for 15 with runners in scoring position.
Gaby Sanchez hit his 13th home
run and Hanley Ramirez had his first
multi-hit game since May 21 for the
Marlins, who improved to 2-19 in June.
They are 1-1 since McKeon took over
Monday as interim manager for the rest
of the season.
Vazquez (4-7) went 5 1-3 innings
and allowed 10 hits but no runs to lower
his ERA to 6.37, still the highest in the
majors. The right-hander had been 0-3
in his past five starts.
Ervin Santana (3-8) of the Angels
was lifted for a pinch-hitter in the sixth
trailing 2-0. He fell to 0-4 in his past
five starts.
Twins 9, Giants 2
SAN FRANCISCO Ben Revere
had two hits and two RBIs to highlight
an eight-run first inning, and surging
Minnesota tied a major league record
by opening with eight consecutive hits
against Madison Bumgarner.
Luke Hughes had a two-run single
and four others had an RBI in the first
to chase Bumgarner (3-9) before some
fans even found their seats at cozy
AT&T Park. The only out the left-hander
recorded came when he struck out
pitcher Carl Pavano swinging.
Pavano (5-5) scattered nine hits in
eight innings to help Minnesota win its
eighth straight.
The Giants have lost five in a row.
Phillies 10, Cardinals 2
ST. LOUIS Jimmy Rollins and
Chase Utley each had a two-run single
to help spark Philadelphias season-
best nine-run eighth inning.
Carlos Ruiz had four hits and one
of two bases-loaded walks in the eighth
for the NL East-leading Phillies, who
have won Roy Halladays last seven
starts but put it together too late for the
right-hander to become the majors first
10-game winner.
Halladay allowed a run and four hits
in six innings. Stutes (2-0) pitched one
inning, allowing one run, to get the win.
Trever Miller (0-1) took the loss.
Nationals 6, Mariners 5
WASHINGTON Wilson Ramos
capped a five-run ninth inning with
a game-ending three-run homer for
Washington.
Jerry Hairston and Danny Espinosa
each had two-out RBI singles before
Ramos connected on a 1-1 pitch from
David Pauley, hitting a drive deep to
center for his sixth homer. Ramos
threw his arms up almost immediately
after the ball left his bat and Pauley
(4-1) trudged off the mound.
The Mariners wasted a fine effort
from Doug Fister, who allowed one
run and three hits in eight innings. The
right-hander is 0-3 in four June starts
despite a 3.60 ERA.
Padres 5 Red Sox 4
BOSTON Former Boston pros-
pect Anthony Rizzo drove in the go-
ahead run in the seventh inning to
help San Diego snap a season-worst
six-game losing streak.
Rizzo grounded out with the
bases loaded to first baseman Adrian
Gonzalez, traded to Boston in the off-
season for Rizzo and two other minor
leaguers. Chase Headley scored on
the slow roller that Gonzalez bobbled
before getting the out at first.
Chad Qualls (4-3) pitched 1 1-3
scoreless innings to get the win. Heath
Bell worked the ninth for his 19th save
in 20 opportunities.
Dan Wheeler (0-1) took the loss,
only Bostons third in 17 games.
White Sox 3, Cubs 2
CHICAGO Brent Morel hit a
go-ahead sacrifice fly in the seventh
inning and the White Sox beat the
Cubs to even their crosstown series at
one game apiece.
Paul Konerko homered for a fifth
straight game for the White Sox and
Carlos Pena hit his second in as many
nights for the Cubs, who won Mondays
opener 6-3.
Sergio Santos struck out Aramis
Ramirez with two on to end the eighth
and then pitched the ninth for his 13th
save in 15 chances.
Jesse Crain (3-2) got the win in
relief of Mark Buehrle, who left after
rain delayed the game for 1 hour, 44
minutes.
Brewers 5, Rays 1
MILWAUKEE Zack Greinke
struck out 10 over seven effective
innings to help Milwaukee avoid losing
consecutive home games for the first
time this season.
Greinke (7-2) struck out at least
a batter in every inning, including the
side in the third. He gave up one
earned run on four hits.
Yuniesky Betancourt homered
in the second off rookie Jeremy
Hellickson (7-6) and Ryan Braun hit
a two-run single in the seventh that
helped snap Tampa Bays four-game
winning streak.
The Brewers are 26-10 at Miller
Park and are the only major league
team not to lose consecutive games at
home this season.
Rockies 4, Indians 3
CLEVELAND Seth Smiths
second homer of the game snapped
a ninth-inning tie and Colorado held
Cleveland hitless into the sixth.
Smith connected off Cleveland
closer Chris Perez (2-3), hitting a 2-2
pitch into the right-field seats for his
eighth homer of the season and fourth
career multihomer game.
Matt Belisle (5-2) worked one inning
for the win. Huston Street pitched the
ninth for his major league-leading 22nd
save in 24 chances.
Jason Giambi had three hits for
Colorado, which has won six of seven
and moved over .500 for the first time
since May 24.
Rangers 5, Astros 4, 11 innings
ARLINGTON, Texas Mitch
Moreland blasted the first pitch of
the bottom of the 11th inning into the
upper deck in right field to lift Texas
to the win.
Morelands second homer in as
many games gave reliever Yoshinori
Tateyama (1-0) his first career win and
handed Houston rookie reliever Enerio
del Rosario (0-2) the loss.
Rangers star Josh Hamilton forced
extra innings with a solo homer leading
off the eighth, keeping Astros prized
prospect Jordan Lyles from getting his
first big-league win.
Texas also got bases-empty hom-
ers from Michael Young and Nelson
Cruz to send the Astros to their third
straight loss and 14th in 18 game
Athletics 7, Mets 3
NEW YORK Josh Outman threw
another impressive game, Jemile
Weeks scored three times and streak-
ing Oakland handed rookie Dillon Gee
his first loss of the season.
Ryan Sweeney had four hits, includ-
ing an RBI single, and the As won their
sixth straight after dropping 13 of 14
their longest win streak since a seven-
game run in Sept. 2009.
Outman (3-1) lived up to his pitch-
er-perfect name, allowing two runs
one earned and four hits in six
innings. The left-hander tossed seven
scoreless innings in his previous out-
ing.
Gee (7-1) was lifted for a pinch hit-
ter in the fourth after throwing only 45
of 87 pitches for strikes. He gave up
four earned runs and walked six.
Dodgers 6, Tigers 1
LOS ANGELES Chad Billingsley
bounced back from two poor outings,
Andre Ethier hit a two-run homer and
Los Angeles kept Max Scherzer from
becoming the majors first 10-game
winner.
Billingsley (6-6) allowed a run and
six hits over 5 1-3 innings the first
time in four starts that he made it past
the fifth. The right-hander struck out
six, walked two and left with a 4-1 lead
after loading the bases with a walk to
Alex Avila.
Pinch-hitter Miguel Cabrera ground-
ed into an inning-ending double play to
end the threat.
Dodgers have won three straight
following a five-game losing streak.
Braves 5, Blue Jays 1
ATLANTA Brian McCann hit a
two-run homer, Jason Heyward had
an RBI single and Mike Minor ended a
nine-start winless streak as Atlanta won
its third straight.
Minor (1-2) allowed five hits, one
run, one intentional walk and struck out
a season-high eight in seven innings.
Atlanta took a 4-1 lead in the third
on McCanns 12th homer and Alex
Gonzalezs RBI double off rookie Zach
Stewart (0-1), who allowed 10 hits, five
runs and three walks in 3 2-3 innings.
The Blue Jays have scored two
runs in losing three straight on the road
for the first time since April 30-May 3.
Pirates 9, Orioles 3
PITTSBURGH Neil Walker had
two hits and drove in three runs to help
Pittsburgh snap a four-game losing
streak.
Chris Resop (3-2) picked up the
victory in relief after starter James
McDonald couldnt get through the req-
uisite five innings even though he
was staked to an early five-run lead.
Jose Tabata, Garrett Jones and
Xavier Paul all knocked in two runs
apiece for the Pirates.
Baltimores Jeremy Guthrie (2-9)
settled down after a rocky first inning
but dropped into a tie for the AL lead in
losses. He gave up six runs while walk-
ing three and striking out two.
Diamondbacks 7, Royals 2
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Wily Mo
Pena and Chris Young homered, and
Joe Saunders pitched seven strong
innings for Arizona.
Saunders (4-7), who started the
season 0-5, picked up his fourth victory
in six starts. He held the Royals to six
hits and two runs over seven innings,
his 10th consecutive start pitching at
least six innings.

was a unanimous choice of
St. Ritas Senior
Administration as
St. Ritas Healthcare

Core Values of the OHA and
the Catholic Health System.

expect her to always serve
at the highest level which
she does. She can be found in
any department in the medi-
cal center, wherever there is
a need. She is the only reli-
gious sister at St. Ritas. She
is especially valuable work-
ing with open heart patients
and their families because
she shares her personal open
heart surgery story. She liter-
ally opens her heart to oth-
ers both literally and figura-
tively within the hospital
and in the community as a
whole.
Sister Noel was recog-
nized in 2010 as a Legend
of St. Ritas, which is the
medical centers highest
employee honor. She has
also been recognized by other
local groups including the

seen as a model and inspira-
tion to others to do the same.
The diocese recognized one
person from each parish.

Sr. Noel Frey
DEAR BRUCE: My husband and I
are divorcing after 16 years of marriage.
He is 64 and I am 60 years old. We own
60 acres of property, which we built
a new home on right after we were
married. We were $98,000 in debt after
building the house. The debt has been
paid off for more than a year. I want to
let him buy me out so he can stay here.
Even with the present economy, the
place is worth at least $200,000 (havent
had it appraised yet). A reverse mortgage
sounds like the ideal thing to do. I have
researched it online, and it looks like he
could get $110,000 assuming the place is
worth $200,000. I would sign a quitclaim
Deed to him, take the money and call it
done (run actually). I have a daughter
from a previous marriage and he doesnt
have any children. He will be retiring
soon from the state of Illinois and will
be receiving a very nice pension. I will
be quitting my job as a nurse (after
21 years) at a very prominent Illinois
medical facility and moving elsewhere.
Do you know of a better way for me to
get my money out of this place while still
allowing him to live here? -- Nadine, via
email
DEAR NADINE: Its unfortunate
that your marriage is ending. You
mention that the home is worth $200,000
in todays economy. I am wondering if it
will be possible for your husband to get
more than $100,000. The older the person
that applies for the reverse mortgage,
the better off they are. You would have
to sign off on the house simultaneously
with him granting the reverse mortgage
because you are too young to be on the
deed when such a mortgage is granted.
I am sure your attorneys can work that
out. Your husband should know, and his
attorney will point out, that the cost of
a reverse mortgage is substantially more
than a conventional mortgage, but the
beauty is no payments during his lifetime.
This needs to be seriously considered.
You mentioned your husband has a nice
pension, but you did not indicate if that
will be a matter of contention. These
are all on the unfortunate variables that
one has to deal with during a divorce.
Be certain that you have a competent
attorney and hope your husband has
one who is not only competent but
reasonable.

MLB
BY STEPHEN WILSON
WIMBLEDON, England
Inevitably, the sequel
didnt live up to the original.
Not even close.
The replay of the lon-
gest match in tennis history
turned out to be a ho-hum
Part II, with John Isner beat-
ing Nicolas Mahut in straight
sets in two hours in the first
round at Wimbledon.
It was a far cry from the
2010 epic, in which Isner
triumphed 70-68 in the fifth
set of a marathon that last-
ed 11 hours, 5 minutes and
stretched over three days.
Nothings going to
live up to that match, the
American said after winning
Tuesdays contest 7-6 (4),
6-2, 7-6 (6). It wasnt going
to go that long.
On a day featuring
Serena Williams tears of
joy after her long-awaited
return to Grand Slam ten-
nis and convincing wins by
Roger Federer and Novak
Djokovic, Isner and Mahut
faced each other again on
the grass of the All England
Club where they made his-
tory last year.
But it was all straightfor-
ward and mainly one-sided
this time. It finished after 2
hours, 3 minutes, with Mahut
sailing a forehand long on
the second match point. This
match lasted 9 hours, 2 min-
utes and 149 games less than
the original.
Everything was dif-
ferent, Mahut said. Its
another year, another match,
another tournament. It was
difficult to play this match.
We talked about last year
during three days. Thats not
easy. But he handled (it)
much better than I did.
Last years match was
played on Court 18, which
now has a plaque commemo-
rating the event. They played
Tuesday on the new Court 3,
which was half empty by the
end of the match.
Im actually glad they
put out here on this court,
Isner said. I dont know
if they want to tarnish the
legacy of Court 18 by play-
ing a second time.
At the end, the two men
who became close friends
after last years encounter
shared a warm embrace
at the net. Isner dominated
play, breaking three times
and finishing with 41 win-
ners to only 10 unforced
errors.
It wasnt easy, but obvi-
ously it was considerably
quicker than the last time,
Isner said. I definitely want-
ed to finish it here and really
glad I am because we were
running out of daylight.
Isner sympathized with
the Frenchman, who seemed
to be struggling with a knee
problem.
He has nothing to hang
his head about at all, Isner
said. He fought just as
hard today. Maybe he wasnt
100 percent. ... Really, it
stinks for him that hes out
now.
Isner, who lost in the
second round last year to
Thiemo de Bakker, said his
goal is to make it to the sec-
ond week.
I was more relieved last
year to finally get it over with
because what we did was
remarkable, and you cant
ever think something like
that could happen, he said.
But I knew after last years
match that I had no shot in
the second round. That was
kind of tough to swallow.
This year Im happy to get
through this one.
Mahut was philosophical
about how things turned
out.
What we did last year,
its much more than a tennis
match, he said. Im very
proud of it. But this is from
last year. Today I just lost
the match in three sets. Its a
different story.
With showers in the fore-
cast, todays schedule fea-
tures five-time champion
Venus Williams playing on
Centre Court in the second
round against 40-year-old
Kimiko Date-Krumm, fol-
lowed by defending mens
champion Rafael Nadal
against Ryan Sweeting.

DEAR DR. GOTT: Four years ago, I
was told that I have both neuropathy and
myopathy. Im finding it more difficult to
walk and even to lie down comfortably. Is
there anything new I can take to eliminate
the nerve- and muscle-damage discomfort
Im experiencing?
I take one 300 mg gabapentin at night.
Ill be 74 this year and take no other drugs.
DEAR READER: Neuropathy, as you
know, is caused by damage to nerves.
It can occur
anywhere in
the body, but it is most common in the extremities,
especially the feet and legs. Unfortunately, you dont
specify what type of neuropathy you have, and there
are many from which to choose.
Peripheral neuropathy is the most common form so
this is the type I will assume you have. To begin with,
it isnt a single disease but a symptom with numerous
possible causes. It results in communication problems
between the central nervous system and the remainder
of the body. It may be caused by an injury, infection,
diabetes, vitamin B deficiency, hypothyroidism, liver
or kidney disease, or other conditions. The feet and
hands may be numb, may tingle, and there may be pain
involved. A person may lack coordination, experience
muscle weakness or paralysis if motor nerves are
affected. Bladder or bowel difficulties might occur.
Initial treatment may be with over-the-counter
pain medication, anti-seizure medications such as
the gabapentin you are taking, antidepressants or a
lidocaine patch.
There are a number of steps a person can take on the
home front. At the top of the list -- discontinue smoking
if you currently do so, followed by foot and hand care.
Massage the extremities gently or have someone else
do it regularly in an attempt to improve circulation.
Avoid the pressure of poorly fitting shoes, crossing your
knees, or resting on your elbows for extended periods
of time. Speak with your physician regarding the use
of over-the-counter topical creams containing capsaicin
rubbed onto painful areas; discuss acupuncture and
biofeedback.
Myopathy is a neuromuscular disease that results in
muscle weakness. It may involve muscles on both sides
of the body. The three main types are polymyositis,
dermatomyositis and inclusion body myositis.
Polymyositis affects the skeletal muscles on both sides
of the body. Dermatomyositis is characterized by skin
rash resembling red or purple patches that develop on
various parts of the body. The rash may be accompanied
by progressive muscle weakness. Inclusion body
myositis affects proximal and distal muscles, often
resulting in weakness on one side of the body only.
Symptoms of myopathy include fatigue following
minimal exercise such as walking or standing, difficulty
swallowing or breathing, and muscles that may be
tender to simple palpation.
Diagnosis is made through an individuals medical
history, testing of muscle strength, lab testing that
reveals elevated levels of muscle enzymes and auto-
antibodies, MRI, and through other means.
Chronic inflammatory myopathy cannot be cured
in most adults, but the symptoms can be reduced and
treated through medication, exercise, acupuncture,
massage, braces for support, physical therapy and
a number of other methods. Most individuals with
the diagnosis respond well to prescribed therapies. I
recommend you speak with your physician to determine
which therapy is best for you.
Weak muscles cause problems

Eating disorders will
cause more harm than
over-eating ever will
Dear Annie: I am a
20-year-old male who recently
developed an eating disorder.
Ive lost almost 50 pounds
from restricting, purging and
over-exercising. Even though
I get a lot of compliments
on my weight loss, I am
nowhere near where Id like
to be. My parents notice that
I dont eat very much, but as
soon as I eat a little more, my
mother makes comments on
how Im going to gain the
weight back. Even
my doctor thinks
I should lose a bit
more.
Honestly, Im
at my limit here.
Im afraid to stop
purging because
Ill just binge and
put the weight
back on. I realize
I have a distorted
body image and
recently started
causing external
harm to my body
because Im not happy with
what I see. How can I be
satisfied and not end up seri-
ously hurt? -- E.D.
Dear E.D.: The binge-
and-purge cycle of eating
disorders is extremely harm-
ful to the body. It can cause
dehydration, fatigue, ulcers,
tooth decay, ruptured stom-
ach, swelling, a weakened
heart muscle and more. We
understand the pressure you
are under to maintain the
weight you have lost, and
you are smart to recognize
that this is not a healthy
way to do it. Please dont
keep your eating disorder a
secret. Contact the National
Eating Disorders Association
(nationaleatingdisorders.org)
at 1-800-931- 2237 and ask
for assistance.
Dear Annie: A few
weeks ago, my husband and
I moved into a lovely apart-
ment in a quiet neighbor-
hood. Shortly after, an older
next-door neighbor knocked
on our door with a homemade
pie and introduced herself.
Naturally, we were pleased at
her kindness and invited her
in to visit.
Since then, however,
Doris has been knocking
on our door at all hours of
the day with food or just
to chat. My husband and I
both work and do not have a
lot of time to ourselves. Doris
is apparently home all day,
because the minute she hears
or sees one of us, she pops in.
When she does this at dinner,
we feel obligated to invite
her to join us. She also has
been very inquisitive about
our personal lives, asking
questions even our relatives
would not dream of asking.
We realize Doris is lonely,
but we need to put a stop to
this. My husband is so con-
vinced weve opened a can of
worms that he now refuses to
talk to any of our other neigh-
bors for fear the same thing
will happen. How can we
discourage Doris visits and
still remain on good terms?
-- Perplexed
Dear Perplexed: No one
can take advantage of you
without your permission.
Dont be afraid to say, Im
so sorry, Doris, but this isnt
a good time to visit. Maybe
tomorrow. And then close
the door. Be polite and friend-
ly, but dont let her inside,
even if she tries to bribe you
with a homemade pie. But
we hope you wont shut her
out completely.
She is desperate for
company, and you
might visit on occa-
sion and encourage
her to participate in
community activi-
ties. In the mean-
time, its OK to set
boundaries and be
firm about them.
Dear Annie:
I had to reply to
Michigan, who is
afraid she will not
be close to her two
sons after they marry.
I have one son. If
Michigan treats her daugh-
ters-in-law as she does her
sons, she will have no prob-
lem. My daughter-in-law is
the daughter I never had. She
has a mother and a sister, but
we two are as close as can be.
We do things together (just
the two of us) and enjoy each
others company. She some-
times has conflicts with her
husband, as we all do from
time to time, and knows she
can come to me with any-
thing. I keep an open mind.
I love my son, but he is not
perfect.
I wouldnt trade my
daughter-in-law for anything.
I love her as my own. --
Lucky Mother-in-Law

If you can effectively qualify
your objectives in the year ahead, you
stand a good chance of having your
ambitions fulfilled. If you cant, itll
be another story. Dont waste your
time and effort on goals too difficult
to achieve.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
-- Under no circumstances should
you permit an outsider to become
involved in your personal family
disagreements. If you want to muddy
the waters further, you couldnt find a
better tactic.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) --
Regardless of any strong inclinations
you may get to respond to some fiery
comments made by another, be above
it all. Youll be far more effective by
simply ignoring what was said.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) --
Because your sales resistance tends to
be a bit lower than usual, either avoid
stores or be acutely aware of your
weakness and keep your purse strings
tight.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- A
serious argument could erupt between
you and your mate if you allow a
subject to surface about which you
both have divergent opinions. Keep a
lid on what you cant resolve.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)
-- The ineptness of an interfering
busybody could create problems for
you. Be kind to others, but not to the
point of allowing just anybody to stick
their snoots in your business.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec.
21) -- An acquaintance with a chip on
his or her shoulder could cause a nasty
scene if youre not careful. Dont do
anything to antagonize this person any
further.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
-- Being an assertive person can have
both good and bad results, depending
on how you use that quality. Take care
that you dont come off as being bossy
to others.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)
-- Without realizing it, if youre not
careful you could easily overreact to
someones opposing viewpoint. You
know better than most that everyone
is entitled to his or her own opinion.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20)
-- Ensure no one makes a financial
commitment on your behalf without
your consent, or it could cost you
a pretty penny, and an only mildly
attractive one as well. You dont want
to pay for anothers mistake.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) --
Choose a partner wisely so that you
dont get involved with someone
who doesnt appreciate the value of
teamwork. If you spot any hint of self-
serving ways, go it alone.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
-- Adopting a poor mental attitude
will make all distasteful assignments
even more repugnant and harder to
accomplish than they actually are.
Dont let a bad mood get in the way
of the hammer.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
-- Instead of making light of life as
usual, you may tend to take everything
far too seriously. Start looking for
problems and youll find them.

The best things in
life are free!
During our 2003 Annual State Survey,
we received a deficiency-free rating from the
Ohio Department of Health.
Less than ten percent of long-term care facilities
receive this rating. This is a true reflection of the
wonderful staff at Roselawn Manor.
We are proud of our commitment to caring,
dedication to high standards and our ability to
create special moments for our residents. That is
really what being deficiency-free is all about. If
you are interested in looking at something free,
stop by Roselawn Manor for a tour.
