BBB seeing new version of old scam
BY NEIL WINGET,
BBB serving
West Central Ohio
The Better Business Bureau
has been receiving reports of a
new version of the older coun-
terfeit check scam.
In this version, the intend-
ed victim receives a large
envelope via the U.S. Postal
Service, United Parcel
Service, or Fed Ex. The enve-
lope contains a single check
with no explanation of what
it is for or where it actually
came from. The checks range
in amounts as low as $4,000
and as high as $10,000.
The recipient is left to
wonder why they are getting
such a windfall and where
it came from. The letterhead
on the check is a real compa-
ny with a real address but this
company is not aware they
are being used in this way.
The check is bogus and if
cashed, the check will even-
tually bounce.
After receiving the check,
the victim gets either an
email or a phone call saying
they have won or inherited
some large amount of money
or merchandise. In order to
claim their prize, they need
to cash the check and send a
majority of the money back
to the scam artists to pay for
administrative fees or some
other made up charges. That
part of the scam is old and has
been around for some time.
If the intended victim
knows what to look for, this
one is easy to spot:
Checks dont just arrive
in the mail unannounced,
especially very large checks.
Be wary if the return
address on the envelope does
not match the one on the
check.
People who have a
legitimate need to send you
a check do not play games,
such as sending a check with
no explanation and then fol-
lowing it up with an email or
phone call.
Such activity should be
reported to the agency that
delivered the package as
soon as possible. Recipients
of such deliveries should also
report it to the BBB by con-
tacting Neil Winget at 419-
223-7010.

Teen sentenced
in texting-while-
driving crash
HAVERHILL, Mass. (AP)
A Massachusetts teenager
was sentenced Wednesday to
spend a year in jail for a fatal
traffic accident that happened
while he was texting.
Aaron Deveau of Haverhill
was sentenced to 2 1/2 years
behind bars with a year to serve
and the remainder suspended
for the February 2011 crash that
took the life of Donald Bowley
Jr., 55, of Danville, N.H., and
seriously injured Bowleys girl-
friend.
Prosecutors say the then-17-
year-old high school student
sent 193 text messages the day
of the crash, including some just
a minute or so before impact
and dozens more after it.
A Haverhill District Court
jury convicted Deveau of
motor vehicle homicide and
negligent operation while tex-
ting. Family members of both
Deveau and Bowley, sitting
just feet from each other in
court, cried and hugged as the
verdict was read.
Deveau apologized to
Bowleys family. He was
among the first people convict-
ed under a law that took effect
in September 2010 that created
the criminal charge of texting
while driving negligently and
causing injury. Deveau faced
that charge for the injuries
caused to Bowleys girlfriend.
Now 18, Deveau, who had
faced a maximum of four years
behind bars, also was ordered
to perform 40 hours of com-
munity service and surrender his
drivers license for 15 years.
Police say Deveaus car
crossed the center line on a
Haverhill street and crashed
head-on into Bowleys vehicle.
Bowley, a father of three, died
18 days later of injuries authori-
ties say he suffered in the crash.
His passenger and girlfriend,
Luz Roman, had an extensive
stay in the hospital recovering
from her injuries.
This has been giving me a
lot of pain. There are no words
to describe, Roman said out-
side of court Wednesday.
Bowleys sister, Donna
Burleigh, said, We hope this
sends a message that its not
OK to text and drive.
Deveau testified Tuesday,
saying he was not sending or
receiving text messages in the
moments before the collision.
He said he put his phone on
the passenger seat and was
distracted and thinking about
his homework when the crash
occurred. He told police after
the crash that he swerved to
avoid another vehicle in front
of him that suddenly hit its
brakes.

Dock from Japan tsunami
washes ashore in Ore.
By JEFF BARNARD
The Associated Press
When the tsunami hit the
northern coast of Japan last
year, the waves ripped four
dock floats the size of freight
train boxcars from their pil-
ings in the fishing port of
Misawa and turned them over
to the whims of wind and
currents.
One floated up on a near-
by island. Two have not been
seen again. But one made
an incredible journey across
5,000 miles of ocean that
ended this week on a popular
Oregon beach.
Along for the ride were
hundreds of millions of indi-
vidual organisms, including a
tiny species of crab, a species
of algae, and a little starfish
all native to Japan that have
scientists concerned if they
get a chance to spread out on
the West Coast.
This is a very clear
threat, said John Chapman,
a research scientist at Oregon
State Universitys Hatfield
Marine Science Center
in Newport, Ore., where
the dock washed up early
Tuesday. ...Its incredibly
difficult to predict what will
happen next.
State officials were con-
sidering plans to scrape all the
living organisms off the dock
and bury them in the sand,
so they would not spread,
Chapman said.
While scientists expect
much of the floating debris
to follow the currents to the
Great Pacific Garbage Patch,
an accumulation of millions
of tons of small bits of plas-
tic floating in the northern
Pacific, tsunami debris that
can catch the wind is making
its way to North America. In
recent weeks, a soccer ball
washed up in Alaska, and a
Harley Davidson motorcycle
in a shipping container was
found in British Columbia,
Canada.
How the dock float 165
tons of concrete and steel
measuring 66 feet long, 19
feet wide and 7 feet high
turned up on Agate Beach, a
mile north of Newport, was
probably determined within
sight of land in Japan, said
Jan Hafner, a computer pro-
grammer in the University of
Hawaiis International Pacific
Research Center, which is
tracking the 1.5 million tons
of tsunami debris likely float-
ing across the Pacific.
Thats where the winds,
currents and tides are most
variable, due to changes in
the coastline and the features
of the land, even for two
objects a few yards apart,
he said. Once the dock float
got into the ocean, it was
pushed steadily by the pre-
vailing westerly winds, and
the North Pacific current.
If you have leaves falling
from a tree ... one leaf will be
moving in a slightly different
direction from another one,
Hafner said. Over time, the
differences get bigger and
bigger and bigger.
Something similar is hap-
pening on the ocean.
After it came ashore,
the Japanese consulate was
able to track down the ori-
gin of the dock float from
a plaque bolted to it com-
memorating its installation in
June 2008. Deputy Consul
Hirofumi Murabayashi said
Wednesday from Portland,
Ore., that it was one of four
owned by Aomori Prefecture
that broke loose from the port
of Misawa on the northern tip
of the main island during the
tsunami.
Akihisa Sato, an engineer
with Zeniya Kaiyo Service, the
docks Tokyo-based manufac-
turer, said the docks were used
for loading fish onto trucks.
One of them turned up several
weeks later on an island south
of Misawa, but the other two
remain missing.
Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore.,
called on the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration to redouble
its efforts to track the debris,
saying something as big as
the dock could pose a danger
to ships at sea.

ODOT frees up $400M for future projects
Submitted by the
Ohio Department of
Transportation
COLUMBUS Improved
department efficiency, work-
force and vehicle fleet reduc-
tions, higher than projected
gas tax receipts, the elimi-
nation of federal earmarks,
and savings from a mild
winter are allowing the Ohio
Department of Transportation
(ODOT) to dump $400 mil-
lion into the budget for major
new construction projects
throughout the state. That was
the announcement made ear-
lier today at a meeting of the
Transportation Review and
Advisory Council (TRAC)
and it means some construc-
tion projects will see future
delays significantly reduced
or eliminated.
I have said time and time
again that we have great
people at ODOT who are
going to amaze us and thats
happening right now, said
ODOT Director Jerry Wray.
Our employees are working
at a rapid pace to reduce our
cost of doing business and
improve service to the states
motoring public. Were inno-
vating and approaching the
delivery of services in a new
way, and all of this is allow-
ing us to save millions of dol-
lars that we can put into our
major construction budget.
ODOT has saved a total
of $400 million over the next
five fiscal years (2013-2017)
and added that money to the
states capital budget: $200
million in fiscal year 2013
and $50 million for each
of the four following fiscal
years.
The $200 million for fiscal
year 2013 includes:
$20 million not used
by ODOTs district offices
in 2012;
$90 million in work-
force reductions and cost sav-
ings as a result of improved
agency efficiency ($40 mil-
lion in savings carried over
from fiscal year 2012 and $50
million saved in 2013); and
$90 million in higher
than projected gas tax receipts
and the elimination of federal
earmarks.
Ohio drops
federally funded
tutoring program
COLUMBUS (AP) The
Ohio Department of Education
is dropping a federally funded
tutoring program hit with alle-
gations of fraud and wrongdo-
ing.
The state had overseen the
supplemental educational
services program for students
at low-performing schools.
The state auditor began inves-
tigating after allegations of
fraudulent billing and tutoring
in unsafe conditions.
Now, districts will decide
which tutors to hire and what
services are needed, but the
state will stop evaluating
tutoring groups.
Federal funds set aside for
the tutoring could be redi-
rected to give low-performing
facilities a longer school day
and provide targeted interven-
tion.
The Columbus Dispatch
reports the change was
enabled by Ohios recent
waiver from provisions of the
federal No Child Left Behind
law. The waiver gives Ohio
more flexibility with using
federal funds and tailored
solutions to education prob-
lems.
Did you know that half
of the US population lives
within a 500 mile radius of
the city of Columbus?
Two men look out through the same bars: One sees the mud and one the stars.

WASHINGTON (AP)
Conservatives at the core of the
Republican Party are coalesc-
ing behind likely GOP presi-
dential nominee Mitt Romney
faster than expected after a
punishing primary season
in which they loudly sought
someone else almost any-
body else to carry the fight
to President Barack Obama.
Theyre opposed to Obama
more than they like, trust or
accept Romney as the par-
tys standard-bearer. And
they recognize that the for-
mer Massachusetts governor is
their only real choice.
Im going (to support him)
because its my responsibil-
ity and, frankly, almost any-
thing is going to be better than
Obama, said Steve Troxel,
chairman of the Lynchburg
Republican Party in swing-
state Virginia.
According to Rep. Trent
Franks, R-Ariz., There are
some conservatives who are
not ready to trust Mr. Romney
to do the right thing, but they
all trust President Obama to do
the wrong thing.
Right now, Family
Research Council President
Tony Perkins said of the shift,
Obama is driving it.
In interview after interview
over the past week, conser-
vative activists say that they
know the election will be close
and that Romney needs
them to do more than merely
lay down their vitriol over his
wobbles on abortion, govern-
ment spending, health care
and gay marriage. He needs
them to campaign for him,
to contribute to him, to get
themselves and their friends
to the polls Nov. 6 and to cast
votes for him, not just against
Obama.
Many conservatives clear-
ly are not there yet, but the
GOP base is undeniably shift-
ing toward Romney, helped
along by post-primary devel-
opments that could escalate
in the Republicans favor this
summer.

Associated Press
WASHINGTON
Conservative House
Republicans are again going
after President Barack
Obamas budget to regulate
Wall Street, build rural water
projects and send food aid
overseas as the latest in a
series of spending bills get
under way.
Clean energy programs
unpopular with Republicans
also take a hit in a bill fund-
ing the Energy Department
and water projects that passed
the House on Wednesday on
a 255-165 vote. The House
promptly turned to a biparti-
san, $39 billion measure fund-
ing the Homeland Security
Department.
But even as the GOP
spending bills often cut well
below current spending and
far below Obamas requests,
Republicans drafting the mea-
sures are displaying a more
pragmatic side on some pro-
grams.
For instance, the Amtrak
passenger railroad, long a
target of senior Republicans,
would actually get a bud-
get boost under a just-
released transportation bill.
Community development
block grants popular with
local officials back in law-
makers districts would get
a $400 million, 14 percent
increase over current levels.
And Republicans are largely
sparing housing vouchers for
the poor and food aid for
pregnant women from cuts
as they pass agency operating
budgets for the fiscal year that
starts in October.
At issue are the 12 annu-
al spending bills that set the
day-to-day budgets of federal
agencies. Republicans control-
ling the House have already
sparred two hard-fought
appropriations rounds with
Obama and have embarked
on another battle this year
as well, despite last years
budget and debt deal that set
overall spending levels for the
current crop of bills.
But House GOP leaders
are breaking with the $1.047
trillion 2013 spending cap set
last year and are instead press-
ing ahead with bills totaling
$19 billion less while fur-
ther breaking the budget deal
with an $8 billion shift from
nondefense appropriations to
the Pentagon.
The GOP move has led
the White House to issue a
blanket veto threat against
every spending bill until
Republicans reverse them-
selves, making it unlikely
that any of the 12 spending
bills will become law before
Election Day, much less the
Oct. 1 start of the budget
year.
In allocating the cuts, top
Republicans are doing what
they can to cultivate good will
from Democrats and pro-
tect programs that have long
enjoyed bipartisan support.
For instance, the homeland
security measure contains
$5.5 billion for the Federal
Emergency Management
Agencys chief disaster relief
account, a move originally
opposed by conservatives like
Budget Committee Chairman
Paul Ryan, R-Wis. A fund
that subsidizes community
development financial insti-
tutions providing credit to
underserved rural and urban
areas would receive Obamas
full $221 million request.
Meanwhile, the energy and
water measure seeks to keep
open the possibility that the
mothballed Yucca Mountain
nuclear waste repository in
Nevada might eventually
open despite the opposition of
Obama and powerful Senate
Majority Leader Harry Reid,
D-Nev. Democrats such as
Norm Dicks of Washington
and Peter Visclosky of Indiana
support the move.
Democrats had few com-
plaints about either the energy
and water measure or home-
land security measures. A
measure funding the Veterans
Administration won a sweep-
ing vote last week.
By ELLIOT SPAGAT
Associated Press
SAN DIEGO Decisive
victories for ballot proposals
cutting retirement benefits for
government workers in two of
the largest cities in the U.S.
emboldened advocates seek-
ing to curb pensions in state
capitols and city halls across
the nation.
The voter responses in
San Diego and San Jose were
stinging setbacks for public
employee unions, which also
came up short on Republican
Gov. Scott Walkers recall
victory in Wisconsin.
The message is that if
elected officials and pub-
lic employee unions do not
responsibly deal with this
issue, voters will take things
into their own hands, said
Thom Reilly, former chief
executive of Clark County,
Nev., now a professor of
social work at San Diego
State University. We could
see more draconian measures
from citizens.
In San Diego, two-thirds
of voters favored the pension
reduction plan. And the land-
slide was even greater in San
Jose, where 70 percent were
in favor.
San Diego Mayor Jerry
Sanders, a chief backer, said
he was surprised by the mar-
gin of victory and consid-
ered it a statement that voters
wont tolerate benefits that
are more generous than those
they receive working at pri-
vate companies.
It just shows the frustra-
tion people have with pension
benefits that are out of control
and taking away from city ser-
vices, he said in an interview
Wednesday.
San Jose Mayor Chuck
Reed, a Democrat who called
the overhaul his highest prior-
ity, said he expects other gov-
ernments to follow their lead.
Opponents say the mea-
sures deprive workers of ben-
efits they were counting on
when they got hired. Some
workers decided against
potentially more lucrative
jobs with private companies,
figuring their retirement was
relatively safe.
Henry Bayer, executive
director of the American
Federation of State, County
and Municipal Employees
Council 31 in Illinois, said the
California referendums reflect
a race to the bottom to erode
government benefits by put-
ting them on par with the
private sector.
This is part of a national
effort to reduce retirement
security for public employees,
and its very unfortunate, said
Bayer, who represents about
70,000 government workers
in Illinois.
The California votes came
as legislators pursuing cuts to
balance budgets have increas-
ingly turned their attention to
public pensions.
Rhode Island lawmakers
last year backed away from
promises to state and munici-
pal workers, saying the move
would save billions the state
could no longer afford. And
New York lawmakers in
March approved less generous
benefits for new hires.
California Republican lead-
ers seized on this weeks votes
to try to revive Democratic
Gov. Jerry Browns attempt
to reduce retirement benefits
for new and current govern-
ment workers. Brown called
the referendums a powerful
wake-up call.
Labor unions in San Diego
and San Jose the nations
eighth- and 10th-largest cities
launched potentially lengthy
court challenges. The San Jose
Police Officers Association
filed a lawsuit in state court
Wednesday, saying the mea-
sure violates vested rights.
Mike Zucchet, general
manager of the San Diego
Municipal Employees
Association, said the union
decided long ago against
mounting a vigorous cam-
paign to sway public opinion,
instead saving its resources
for a court battle. The vote
didnt surprise him.
WASHINGTON All the
worlds a stage, all right, and
never so much as when presi-
dential politics are in play.
But reality transcended
metaphor Monday when
crooner in chief Barack Obama
hit Broadway. Joining him on
stage was one of the great-
est actors of our time Bill
Clinton. No longer playing
the role of political antagonist,
Clinton is now Dean Martin to
Obamas Frank Sinatra.
No one understands better
than Clinton the value of con-
necting with voters through the
universal language of music.
His saxophone performance on
late-night TV when he was a
presidential candidate in 1992
wowed his audience and trans-
formed the election and all
of them since. Ever after, it
seems, those who aspire to the
presidency have to be musical
as well as athletic.
Obama has proved him-
self capable of carrying a tune
and has sung publicly at least
twice, including at a White
House blues festival, where,
incidentally, Mick Jagger also
performed. Maybe Clinton is
playing Jagger to Obamas
Obama?
And, lets be honest,
Obama warbling Al Greens
I-I-I-Im so in love with you
has a different je ne sais quoi
than, say, Mitt Romney recit-
ing America the Beautiful.
Speaking of metaphors ...
We know these things dont
matter or they shouldnt
but they do. Optics. Staging.
Performance. Audience chem-
istry. Theyre all part of the
packaging. Americans used
to ask themselves with whom
theyd rather attend a beer
summit, or something like
that. Now they wonder: But
can he sing?
Barack on Broadway
was perhaps inevitable for the
man who accepted his partys
nomination under the stars on
a stage that featured rows of
Roman columns. Whats left
but the real stage and, per-
chance, a Greek chorus?
Thus, Obama and his new
sidekick appeared at the New
Amsterdam Theatre, wrap-
ping up a three-stop night of
fundraisers that had included
a gala at the Waldorf-Astoria
and a fundraiser at the home
of hedge-fund billionaire
Marc Lasry. From the stage,
they dazzled an audience of
about 1,700, including various
Broadway stars. Next week,
Obama returns to New York
for a fundraising party at the
home of Sex and the City
star Sarah Jessica Parker.
OK, so theres nothing new
to see here. Hollywood likes
Obama. Who didnt know?
Some like him so much
that they recently ponied up
$40,000 a plate for dinner
with the president at George
Clooneys house.
And, yes, clearly Clinton
has changed his own tune.
Where once he referred to
Obamas potential fairy tale,
hes now a genial warm-up
act. So goes politics, espe-
cially when your wife is being
mentioned for another presi-
dential run in 2016.
Destiny imposes certain
adjustments.
Still, it becomes increas-
ingly difficult for the Obama
campaign to insist that the
president is fighting for the
little guy against the evil rich
when no one is so rich as
the company he himself keeps.
Its difficult to criticize ones
opponent for running a com-
pany that made its investors
rich while greasing ones own
pockets with filthy lucre simi-
larly acquired. Bumper sticker:
My billionaires better than
your billionaire.
It bears mentioning that
Clinton has joined Newark
Mayor Cory Booker and
Massachusetts Gov. Deval
Patrick in distancing himself
from criticism of Romneys
tenure as head of Bain Capital.
Clinton went so far as to declare
Romneys career sterling,
even though his presidency
would be calamitous for our
country and the world (no
word on the tides), and warned
against judging anothers work
as good or bad.
A man whos been gover-
nor and had a sterling business
career crosses the qualification
threshold, Clinton recently
said on CNN.
It must be tough to play
second fiddle to the man who
defeated your wife (and kept
you out of the White House
in the starring role of First
Husband). But Clinton is noth-
ing if not a party animal, and
holding Hillarys place trumps
personal pride.
Moreover, it can only help
Obama to share a spotlight
with Clinton. Despite pecca-
dilloes that seem quaint com-
pared to more recent scandals,
Clinton remains not only pop-
ular (67 percent favorability),
but also preferable to both
Obama (56 percent favorabil-
ity) and Romney (48 percent).
It is widely assumed that
Romneys campaign will out-
spend Obamas, but whatever
the gap, it will be minor to
folks accustomed to traffick-
ing in billions. Meanwhile, the
Democratic Partys demoniza-
tion of the rich wont wash as
long as the president shares
the stage with Hollywood and
such billionaires are deemed
acceptable.
Aint that a kick in the
head?

Robotic hysterectomy was the answer. When Jessica found
herself in the emergency room with pain in her left ovary, ultrasounds revealed she needed
a total hysterectomy. Her main concern, though, was caring for her 11-year-old daughter.

MIDDLE POINT -
Lincolnview faced off against
the Jefferson Wildcats in
ACME baseball action at
Lincolnview High School on
Wednesday evening.
The Lancers won on an
eighth-inning walk-off balk
in what looked like a foot-
ball score 14-13.
Both the Lancers and
the Wildcats combined for
double-digit errors, which
helped ruin good pitching
performances by both starting
pitchers.
The Lincolnview win
improved their record to
1-1 and the loss made the
Wildcats record 1-2 for the
season.
The first inning should have
been 1-2-3 for Lincolnviews
Kyle Williams but the would-
be third out was dropped by a
Lancer outfielder. Luckily for
the Lancers, Williams struck
out the next Wildcat batter,
Ross Thompson, for the final
out of the inning.
In the bottom of the
inning, Lincolnview batters
Matt Oechsle and Nick Leeth
singled back-to-back with
one out. Thompson struck out
the next Lancer batter, Tyler
Lovett, before after Conner
McCleery singled to load the
bases. Thompson then got
Lincolnview catcher Derek
Friesner to fly out to right
field to end the threat in the
first.
Williams started the sec-
ond with a strikeout, then
walked Jefferson batter Drew
Kortokrax. An error allowed
Seth Wollenhaupt to reach
base. Jeffersons Nick Fitch
had an RBI groundout to score
a run, making the score 1-0,
Wildcats. Gage Townsend
singled home another run to
make the score 2-0.
In the bottom of the sec-
ond, Eli Farmer singled to lead
off the frame for Lincolnview
and scored on an error by the
Wildcats to reduce the deficit
to 2-1.
The third inning started
well for Jefferson after one
out when Austin Jettinghoff
and Thompson both walked.
Zack Kimmett singled up the
middle to score one run for a
3-1 lead.
In the bottom of the third,
McCleery tripled and later
scored on an error by the
Wildcats. Friesner walked
and came around to score on
a single by Farmer to tie the
score up at 3.
After a scoreless Delphos
fourth, Williams and Nick
Leeth reached base and
Lovett and McCleery each
singled home a run to put
Lincolnview up 5-3.
In the top of the fifth,
the first four batters reached
base on Williams and Leeth
- who replaced Williams
on the mound after the first
two batters. All four batters
came around to dent the plate,
which allowed Jefferson to
take the lead 7-5.
In the home half,
Lincolnview loaded the bases
with one out but Jefferson
brought in Kortokrax, who
promptly struck out the next
two batters to end the Lancer
rally.
The first six Wildcat play-
ers reached base in the top of
the sixth, with five of them
coming around to cross the
plate to raise the score to
12-5, Jefferson.
In the bottom of the frame,
Lincolnview scored a 5-spot
of its own, highlighted by
doubles by Tory Patterson and
Lovett. This put the Lancers
down two with one inning
left, 12-10.
The Lancers brought
in Dalton Hines to pitch
the seventh and he retired
the Wildcats 1-2-3 to give
Lincolnview a fighting chance
in the bottom of the frame.
Farmer doubled and Austin
Leeth took a big walk. Both
came around to score when
Williams hit a ground ball that
he beat out to be called safe.
The Wildcat first baseman
was unable to knock down
the throw and both Lancer
runners scored to tie the game
at 12 in the seventh.
In extras, a walk and a sac
bunt allowed Fitch to move
up to second. A passed ball
moved him to third. Later
in the inning, Gage Rassman
singled home the run to put
Jefferson ahead 13-12.
In the bottom of the eighth,
two of the first three Lancer
batters reached base. Friesner
then hit a deep fly ball that
was dropped by a Wildcat
outfielder. After Jefferson
walked Farmer to load the
bases, Wildcat pitcher Tyler
Wrasman was called for a
balk which allowed the game-
winning run to walk the 90
feet home to win the game
14-13.

That is what real sportsmanship is
all about.
Meghan Vogel, a junior from West
Liberty-Salem, had already won the
1,600-meter race at the 2012 State
Track and Field Championships in
Division III when she took off for the
3,200.
It became apparent that she wasnt
going to win but that is not the story of
this event.
An opponent Arden McGrath
of Arlington was in front of her
but the heat and humidity of Saturday
at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium in
Columbus took its toll on McGrath; she
was struggling mightily, being severely
overcome by the weather conditions.
As many times as I have now cov-
ered the state track meet, its almost
a yearly occurrence, especially in the
2-mile.
Vogel helped McGrath across the
finish line and I can guarantee that was
not easy; she all but carried the Red
Devil.
The crowd gave her a well-earned
and hearty round of applause. They
appreciate good sportsmanship, some-
thing that is more needed than ever in
our dog-eat-dog world.
You root for someone like that.
It even got the press it deserves on
such national media sources as msn.
com and such.
Its all over YouTube.
Unfortunately, some of the com-
ments not many but just enough
make me sick.
Who knows if they were just kid-
ding but one wrote you deserve to
be thrown in the gas chamber you
KNOW what my response to THAT
is! and another was sorry this is
stupid. They would both be disquali-
fied goes under the heading totally
irrevelent (and a few other unmention-
ables). The officials DIDNT do that.
In fact, Vogel allowed McGrath
to finish ahead of her. In her post-
race comments, she explained that
she (McGrath) deserved to finish the
race.
Maybe this is a rhetorical question
but have we become so cynical that
people have to cut down even a person
lending a helping hand even in the
midst of an athletic contest?
For shame, people that wrote this
bilge.
I have seen teammates, even par-
ents, come out to help a fallen com-
rade; I can even remember a time or
two when an opponent has done so but
the name and place escapes me.
Its few and far between but it does
happen and the people involved should
be congratulated for putting a strug-
gling human being over not giving a
rats rear end.
Good for you, Meghan!
In fact, even some of the guys
warming up for their 3.200 looked
ready to come back and assist.
Kudos to them, too, including
Columbus Groves Jake Graham.
Now about the other two com-
menters ...

PHILADELPHIA Dee
Gordon hit a go-ahead single
to back Chris Capuano and the
Los Angeles Dodgers held on to
beat the struggling Philadelphia
Phillies 6-5 on Wednesday night.
Jimmy Rollins, Shane
Victorino and Ty Wigginton hom-
ered for the Phillies, who have
lost a season-worst five straight
games.
Capuano (8-2) gave up four
runs and four hits in five innings
in one of his least effective starts
this season. The lefty has a 2.82
ERA and is tied for the most
wins in the majors. Three reliev-
ers combined for three scoreless
innings before Kenley Jansen fin-
ished for his ninth save, including
three in this series.
Kyle Kendrick (2-5) gave up
five runs and five walks in 5 2/3
innings.
BRAVES 2, MARLINS 1
MIAMI Randall Delgado
pitched into the seventh inning
and contributed his first RBI of
the season before three reliev-
ers completed a 2-hitter to help
Atlanta beat Miami.
Brian McCann had three of
the Braves six hits and scored
a run. Delgado (4-5) allowed
one run and had a career-high
seven strikeouts. Braves reliev-
ers retired all eight batters they
faced; Craig Kimbrel pitched the
ninth for his 17th save in 18
chances.
Josh Johnson (3-4) lost for
the first time in four decisions
even though he went a season-
high 7 2/3 innings and allowed
two runs.
Braves first baseman Freddie
Freeman left the game with a
bruised left index finger.
REDS 5, PIRATES 4
CINCINNATI Johnny
Cueto allowed six hits over 7 2/3
innings and Ryan Ludwick drove

AGRIBUSINESS
Corps. boost ag research funding
By ALAN SCHER ZAGIER
The Associated Press
COLUMBIA, Mo. The
gap between federal support for
agricultural research at large
public universities and private
investment continues to grow
and the divide comes with
increased threats to academic
freedom and more instances
of meddling in the lab, a new
research report suggests.
A recent study by Food and
Water Watch, a Washington-
based environmental group,
shows that nearly one-quarter
of the money spent on agri-
cultural research at land-grant
universities comes from corpo-
rations, trade associations and
foundations, an all-time high.
Financial support from the U.S.
Department of Agriculture
accounts for less than 15 per-
cent, the lowest level in nearly
two decades.
The consumer advocacy
groups report is rife with what
it calls examples of how cor-
porate money corrupts the
public research mission at
land-grant schools, which were
created by the Morrill Act of
1862. The law provided fed-
eral land for states to establish
agriculture and engineering
colleges.
The examples range from
a University of Georgia food
safety program that allows
industry groups to join an
advisory board in exchange for
annual $20,000 donations to an
Ohio State University profes-
sor whose research on geneti-
cally modified sunflowers was
blocked by two seed compa-
nies after the initial results sug-
gested the biotech sunflowers
fostered the growth of weeds.
The report, entitled Public
Research, Private Gain, also
explores the blurry lines cre-
ated when universities and
industry work hand-in-hand,
such as when South Dakota
State University sued farmers
over wheat seed patents as part
of a public-private coalition
formed with a Monsanto Co.
subsidiary. The Missouri-based
company is known for aggres-
sive litigation against what it
calls seed piracy. Kansas State
University, Colorado State and
Texas A&M have pursued
similar lawsuits.
Such alliances are a far cry
from land-grant universities
historic role in promoting pub-
lic knowledge and freely shar-
ing the fruits of their research,
said Patty Lovara, Food and
Water Watchs assistant direc-
tor. The report notes publicly
funded university research led
to the domestication of blue-
berries, early varieties of high-
yield hybrid corn and common
tools to fight soil erosion.
Theres a real sense
in agriculture of what these
schools used to be, Lovara
said. There was much more
trust in what they put out. This
is not the same research system
of decades ago, and were act-
ing like it is.
Deans at several agricultur-
al schools singled out for criti-
cism in the report maintained
that while corporate support
is vital, its unlikely to sway
research results or even influ-
ence what research gets done.
Were kind of caught
between a rock and a hard
place, said Thomas Payne,
dean of the College of
Agriculture, Food and Natural
Resources at the University
of Missouri. In order for
research to continue, we have
to have support from a variety
of sources.
Payne said industry support
accounts for just 5 percent of
the agricultural research bud-
get at Missouri though the
Food and Water Watch report
notes that the percentages were
significantly higher in the uni-
versitys plant sciences depart-
ment (42 percent from 2007
to 2010) and its College of
Veterinary Medicine (63 per-
cent from 2004 to 2010).
Monsanto plays a promi-
nent role on the Missouri cam-
pus, where science students
attend lectures in Monsanto
Auditorium built in part
with a $950,000 grant from
the St. Louis company and
professors spin their university
research off into private com-
panies at the Monsanto Place
life sciences business incuba-
tor, which was built with the
help of a $2 million corporate
grant.
The company and others in
food and agriculture production
have given substantial sums
to other universities as well.
Theres a $1 million Monsanto
Student Services Wing at Iowa
State Universitys College of
Agriculture and Life Sciences,
and a $250,000 endowed
Monsanto chair in agricul-
tural communications at the
University of Illinois.
Cargill Inc. donated $10
million more than a decade
ago for naming rights on a
plant genomics building at the
University of Minnesota, while
two sensory labs at Purdue
carry the imprimaturs of the
Kroger Co. and ConAgra
Foods Inc.
While the Food and Water
Watch report suggests spend-
ing millions of dollars on build-
ing naming rights may also buy
access to key decision makers,
the donors and university offi-
cials say thats not true.
In our experience, there is
no correlation between naming
rights and university research,
Monsanto spokeswoman Sara
Miller said.
Another Monsanto spokes-
woman, Kelli Powers, said the
company is proud of its con-
tributions to land-grant univer-
sities and support of university
agricultural research, whether
through naming rights or stu-
dent scholarships.
Michael Doyle, a profes-
sor of food microbiology at
Georgia and director of its
Center for Food Safety, reject-
ed the notion that companies
such as Cargill, ConAgra and
the Coca-Cola Co. unduly
influence the centers research
agenda when they buy seats on
the Board of Advisors.
Industry does not tell me
how to spend that money, he
said, noting that corporate sup-
port accounts for just 10 per-
cent of the programs research
budget. But I ask the industry,
What are the areas you are
interested in?
Those interests range from
pathogen control to insider
access to scientists and regu-
lators from the Atlanta-based
Centers for Disease Control.
Corporate partners are prom-
ised special consideration by
Center for Food Safety fac-
ulty members, and the cen-
ters website reassures industry
members that a prying press
isnt allowed to attend those
discussions.
What were trying to do is
come up with practical ways
the industry can make our
food safer, Doyle added. Its
not specific to a company ...
Sometimes the research doesnt
work out the way the industry
wants. We dont hold back.

NBA PLAYOFFS
MLB
By JEFF LATZKE
The Associated Press
OKLAHOMA CITY
For all the points, rebounds
and assists that filled Kevin
Durants impressive stat line, it
was a defensive play he made
that fired up his coach
and teammates.
Thats his first charge
of the year, Russell
Westbrook interjected
when Durant was asked
about drawing an offen-
sive foul against Manu
Ginobili in the fourth
quarter of Oklahoma
Citys 107-99 win in
Game 6 of the Western
Conference finals on
Wednesday night.
Indeed, it was.
The leagues 3-time scoring
champion had 34 points and
14 rebounds while playing all
of regulation for the first time
all season, leading the Thunder
into the NBA finals. But it was
taking that charge that got his
team pumped up.
Durant stepped in front of
Ginobilis drive during a 3
1/2-minute scoreless stretch
by San Antonio that allowed
Oklahoma City to take the lead
for good.
I just wanted to go out there
and sacrifice my body for my
team. I knew that would give
us a little spark, Durant said.
Manus an unbelievable player
at twisting his body and making
crazy shots, so I just wanted to
time it right. It felt good to get
that for my team and I could
tell they were excited that I got
my first one when I looked at
the bench.
Westbrook added 25 points
for the Thunder, who trailed by
18 in the first half and erased a
15-point halftime deficit.
The Thunder took the lead
for good early in the fourth
quarter, getting nine of their
first 13 points on free throws
as the fouls started to pile up
for San Antonio six on the
defensive end and three
on the offensive end in the
first 7 minutes.
That included Durants
stop just outside the
restricted area under the
basket.
Down the stretch,
it seemed like they got
every whistle possible and
that really changed the
tide, San Antonios Tim
Duncan said. We were
playing tough defense and
trying to get stops but the
whistle kept blowing and they
went to the line.
Tony Parker finished with
29 points and 12 assists but
only eight of the points and two
assists came after San Antonio
took a 63-48 halftime lead.
Duncan chipped in 25 points
and 14 rebounds and Stephen
Jackson hit six 3-pointers and
scored 23 points.
The Spurs had won 20 in a
row, moving past the Thunder
for home-court advantage in the
West and then taking a 2-0 lead
in the series, before losing four
in a row.
Theres not much to com-
plain about, Ginobili said.
We had a great run. We just
couldnt beat these guys.
Durant grabbed the final
rebound, dribbled the ball
across half court and raised his
right fist to celebrate with a
sold-out crowd wearing free
white T-shirts. The franchise
will play for the NBA title for
the first time since 1996, when
it was in Seattle.
Game 1 of the NBA finals
will be Tuesday night in
Oklahoma City against either
Boston or Miami. The Celtics
lead that series 3-2 and can earn
a trip to the finals with a win at
home in Game 6 on Thursday
night.
Durant celebrated even
before the final buzzer, hugging
his mother and brother seated
courtside after a foul was called
with 14 seconds remaining.
Coach Scott Brooks said he
was not going to take Durant
out of the game, no matter how
many times his All-Star gave
him a fatigued look.
Kevins an amazing young
man, Brooks added. His stat
line is not even close to who
he is as a young man. Hes
respected by his teammates, by
the staff, by the city. Hes a
great ambassador to this league
and Im proud to coach him. He
wants to be coached.
Hes a great leader.
The Thunder, only three
years removed from a 3-29
start that had them on pace
for the worst record in NBA
history, went through the only
three West teams to reach the
finals since 1998 Dallas, the
Los Angeles Lakers and San
Antonio to earn their shot at
the title.
Derek Fisher and James
Harden hit 3-pointers in a 3-pos-
session span to increase the lead
to 99-93 with 3:13 remaining.
Jackson, who had made his pre-
vious six 3-pointers, and Parker
both missed 3s that would have
gotten the Spurs within 103-102
in the final minute.
San Antonio coach Gregg
Popovich thought the game was
lost in the third quarter, when
Spurs were playing in mud.
The Spurs got quick offense
in the first half and made 9-of-
15 from 3-point range while
shooting 55 percent overall.
Parker, who had been large-
ly bottled up ever since the
Thunder put 6-7 defensive spe-
cialist Thabo Sefolosha on him
in Game 3, had a hand in the
Spurs first 12 baskets, making
seven on his own and assisting
on the other five.
Kawhi Leonard and Jackson
followed his 3-point play by
nailing back-to-back 3-point-
ers for a 34-16 advantage in
the final 2 minutes of the first
quarter.
The youthful Thunder
stormed back with an 11-2 run
to start the third quarter and
eventually pulled ahead after
Durants 3-pointer from the top
of the key made it 79-77 with
1:41 left in the period.
We cant have their legs,
their energy. We are never
going to jump as high or run
as fast, Ginobili added. But
the first half we did a great job,
we just moved the ball to find
teammates, made shots. In the
second half, they were very
active and we couldnt find
anything easy.
Notes: Popovich, whose request
for his team to play nasty led to
T-shirts being made in San Antonio,
said at the morning shootaround that
his team needed to play with a little
bit of ugly. Not nasty? I was try-
ing to stay away from that word. ...
San Antonio had a 29-28 edge in the
second quarter after getting outscored
138-106 in the period in the first
five games dropping more than
six points per game. ... Greg Willard
was scheduled to be one of the three
officials but pulled out due to illness.
Rodney Mott replaced him, alongside
Joe Crawford and Bill Kennedy.

Justin Morneau hit a go-ahead,
2-run single with two out in the fifth
as Minnesota won for the fourth
time in five games. Morneau, Ben
Revere and Ryan Doumit each
had two hits.
Blackburn (2-4), who was mak-
ing his first start since coming off
the DL following a left quad strain,
allowed two runs and five hits.
Matt Capps tossing a perfect ninth
for his 14th save in 15 opportuni-
ties.
Yuniesky Betancourt hit a two-
run homer in the first for Kansas
City. Royals right-hander Felipe
Paulino faced four batters in the
first before leaving with a strained

Endy Chavez, who had three hits
in a series-opening win Tuesday,

lost three straight for the first time

WWII veterans remember D-Day at memorial
By SARAH PARNASS
Associated Press
WASHINGTON With the World War
II Memorial as a backdrop, veterans Josephine
and Murray Bussard shared a kiss from their
wheelchairs as they commemorated the 68th
anniversary of D-Day, and celebrated almost as
many years of marriage.
The octogenarians from Springfield, Mo.,
were among more than 200 veterans flown in
Wednesday for a visit to the memorial.
Some of the veterans entered the memo-
rial standing tall. Others, like the Bussards, were
pushed in wheelchairs or leaned on canes, dis-
playing a frailty that contrasted with the strength
in the stories they told as they paid homage to
the June 6, 1944, invasion of France by Allied
troops.
Josephine Bussard, 89, proudly announced
that Friday marks the 67th anniversary of their
wedding, an event that took place, she said,
thanks to me.
At his wifes urging Bus ... I like the way
you tell it, she said Murray Bussard, 88,
recounted the story of their union while other
veterans walked and wheeled around the stone
ramps of the monument.
In January 1945, Murray was a machine gun-
ner in the 3rd Marine Division. Josephine was
a self-proclaimed Navy girl at the Women
Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service
(WAVES) Yeoman School.
Some nights, Josephine would go to the
Marine barracks to play pool.
When Murray saw Josephine waiting for a
Greyhound bus one day, he invited her to join
him on the Marine bus. With little room to spare
onboard, Josephine, then 22, traveled 65 miles
sitting on my lap, Murray said, laughing.
Murray had served earlier in the Bougainville
campaign but returned to the states after he con-
tracted malaria.
Thank God that they dropped the atomic
bomb, he said, suddenly straight-faced, because
I was supposed to go overseas again.
The couple married on June 8, 1945. Theyve
been together ever since, they said.
Hes just as nice as me, Josephine joked,
glancing over at the man in the Semper Fi
cap.
While it was a day of happy nostalgia for the
Bussards, other veterans soberly bore the sharp
pain of loss, remembering fallen comrades.
Robert Clark, who flew in from Detroit, spoke
proudly about his time as a machine gunner in the
86th Infantry Division Blackhawks until asked
why he came to see the memorial.
Choked up, he turned to his son Thomas, who
suggested, The ones who didnt make it?
Clark nodded.
The elder Clarks smile returned when he
entered the memorial to cheers from 40 fifth-
graders from Ashland Elementary School in
Manassas, Va., who were chosen for a field trip
to the memorial based on essays they wrote about
World War II.
Bill Cheolas, who also came from Detroit, had
visited the memorial previously at a reunion with
his division. At least two of the men with him that
day have since passed away.
So many of us are dying that we hardly have
any crowd at all, Cheolas said.
At 18, Cheolas trained as a pilot in Texas
before joining the 86th Troop Carrier, airborne
division, and dropping paratroopers behind
enemy lines in Germany. Despite the memories
of those lost, Cheolas said seeing the memorial
brought him a sense of peace.
I cant say Im having closure, Cheolas
said. I just felt that I needed to come back once
more.
The veterans traveled to Washington aboard
six flights organized by the private Honor Flight
Network. The organization has flown more than
81,000 veterans to the nations capital since 2005
to visit the memorials for their respective wars,
according to its website.
Veterans came from Missouri, Michigan, West
Virginia, Arizona, Oklahoma and Kentucky.
Ford Motor Co. funded two of the six participat-
ing state groups.

NJ Muslims fle federal suit to stop NYPD spying
By EILEEN SULLIVAN
Associated Press
WASHINGTON A
Muslim civil rights group
that has worked closely with
the Obama administration
to build better relationships
with American Muslims is
suing the New York Police
Department over its surveil-
lance programs.
Eight Muslims filed a
federal lawsuit Wednesday
in New Jersey to force the
NYPD to end its surveillance
and other intelligence-gath-
ering practices that have tar-
geted Muslims since the 2001
terrorist attacks. The lawsuit
alleged that the NYPDs
activities were unconstitu-
tional because they focused
on peoples religion, national
origin and race.
It is the first lawsuit
to directly challenge the
NYPDs surveillance pro-
grams that targeted entire
Muslim neighborhoods,
chronicling the daily life of
where people ate, prayed and
got their hair cut. The surveil-
lance was the subject of series
of stories by The Associated
Press that revealed the NYPD
intelligence division infiltrat-
ed dozens of mosques and
Muslim student groups and
investigated hundreds.
The Muslims suing
the NYPD are represented
by Muslim Advocates, a
California-based civil rights
group that meets regularly
with members of the Obama
administration. Its executive
director, Farhana Khera, said
she was disappointed that the
Obama administration hasnt
been more involved.
We do not think that
theyve been given suffi-
cient attention and attention
in a speedy manner, Khera
said. We do think this is
an immensely important issue
to have the nations largest
police department targeting
Americans based on religion.
We do think it merits the
attention of the federal gov-
ernment.
The White House said
Wednesday that it would not
comment on pending litigation.
Its unclear where the
Obama administration stands
on the NYPD programs.
White House grants help pay
for the NYPDs programs
but the White House says it
has no control over how the
money is used.
President Barack Obamas
counterterrorism advis-
er, John Brennan, recently
declared his full confidence
that the NYPD is doing things
consistent with the law. An
anonymous White House
official then issued a clarifi-
cation to those remarks, say-
ing Brennan wasnt referring
to NYPD surveillance.
One of the lawsuits plain-
tiffs, Syed Farhaj Hassan,
stopped attending a New
Jersey mosque after learning
it was listed in an NYPD file.
The mosque, like and dozens
of others along the East Coast
and listed in NYPD files, was
not linked to terrorism either
publicly or in the confidential
police documents.
Hassan, a specialist in
the U.S. Army Reserve,
said he worried that if his
name or the name of one of
his mosques turned up in a
police intelligence dossier it
could jeopardize his mili-
tary security clearance or job
prospects.
Guilt by association is
a career stopper, he said.
What happens when that
name comes up when youre
looking for a job?
The NYPD commissioner,
Raymond Kelly, declined to
comment about the lawsuit
Wednesday but noted that
New Jerseys attorney gen-
eral recently determined that
the NYPD did not violate
state laws in its monitoring
of Muslim neighborhoods
and organizations, and found
there was no recourse for
New Jersey to stop the NYPD
from infiltrating Muslim stu-
dent groups, video-taping
mosque-goers or collecting
their license plate numbers as
they prayed.
No court has ruled that the
NYPD programs were ille-
gal. But the division oper-
ates without significant over-
sight: The New York City
Council does not believe it
has the expertise to oversee
the intelligence division, and
Congress believes the NYPD
is not part of its jurisdic-
tion even though the police
department receives billions
of dollars in federal funding
each year.
Kelly has said his depart-
ment is obligated to do this
type of surveillance in order
to protect New York from
another 9/11. He has said
the 2001 attacks proved that
New Yorkers could not rely
solely on the federal govern-
ment for protection, and the
NYPD needed to enhance its
efforts.

Penn. readies for Sandusky trial
By GENARO C. ARMAS
and MARK SCOLFORO
Associated Press
BELLEFONTE, Pa.
The attorneys arguing the
child sexual abuse trial of
former Penn State assistant
coach Jerry Sandusky have
four days to figure out how to
sway a jury heavy with con-
nections to the school.
Seven women and five
men will hear opening state-
ments Monday in the sweep-
ing case that rocked the uni-
versity and led to the ouster
of Hall of Fame football
coach Joe Paterno.
Four alternates also were
chosen Wednesday after jury
selection wrapped up in less
than two days, a much brisker
pace than some observers had
expected given the schools
deep roots in this mainly rural
part of central Pennsylvania.
But Judge John Cleland
had insisted from the start that
such connections wouldnt
immediately rule out poten-
tial jurors so long as they
could pledge to be impartial.
Among the 16 jurors total
selected, 10 had some tie
either directly or indirectly
to Penn State.
One juror, a woman, is a
professor who has taught for
24 years. Another woman has
had football season tickets for
decades. And one of the male
jurors is a student who will be
a senior this fall.
Some legal experts said
jurors with school connec-
tions might be inclined to
come down hard on Sandusky,
blaming him for Paternos
firing and the damage to the
schools reputation.
From the prosecutions
perspective, putting people
on the jury with Penn State
ties, their assessment might
be these people might tend
to disfavor Jerry Sandusky
and the defense because hes
responsible for dragging Penn
States name through the
mud, said Chris Capozzi, a
defense attorney in Pittsburgh
and a former senior deputy
attorney general under now-
Gov. Tom Corbett.
Capozzi, a Penn State
graduate, left the attorney
generals office in 2010. The
state grand jury investiga-
tion of Sandusky began while
Corbett was attorney general.
Conversely, Capozzi said,
Sanduskys defense lawyers
appear satisfied those jurors
can be fair and impartial, or
that people are going to be
upset with the Office of the
Attorney General and the
way (the case) was handled
... and its really the AG
thats responsible for putting
Penn States name through
the mud.
Sandusky, 68, is charged
with sexually abusing 10
boys over a 15-year span. He
has denied the allegations.
In one sense, you worry
about, this guy was for many
years of his life a hero of
that community, an idol,
said St. Vincent College law
professor Bruce Antkowiak,
referring to Sanduskys role
as founder of an acclaimed
charity for youngsters.
On the other hand, theres
also the consideration that
there are people who believe
this guy betrayed so much of
what gave this institution and
this area so much of the char-
acter and innocence that we
love that he has besmirched
it in such a profound way,
Antkowiak added.
Other jurors with ties to the
school include a man whose
father worked at Penn States
Office of Physical Plant for
three decades and a woman
who works as an administra-
tive assistant at the university.
On the list of potential
witnesses, along with the
young men who have accused
Sandusky, are Paternos
widow and son; and assistant
coach Mike McQueary, who
said he saw Sandusky naked
in a team shower with a boy
more than a decade ago and
reported it to Paterno.
The head coach testified to
relaying the allegation to his
superiors, fulfilling his legal
obligation. He was ousted in
November by school trustees
in part for not acting more
decisively against Sandusky.
Paterno died of lung can-
cer two months later at 85.

Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol
No license to
ignore vows
Dear Annie: I am 58 and
have been married to Hank
for 24 years. I have two chil-
dren from a previous mar-
riage and Hank and I have a
21-year-old son together.
Ive tried everything to
be a good wife, but Hank
never has been affectionate
and our sex life is nonex-
istent. Several years ago, I
learned that he has cheated
on me for most of our mar-
riage. My older son caught
him the first time and I made
Hank move out. We
went to counseling
and I let him come
back home, though
I believe the only
reason he returned
was because of our
son.
Recently, I
received calls tell-
ing me Hank was
cheating again,
but he denied it. I
finally hired a pri-
vate investigator,
who confirmed that Hank
was having an affair. I told
him to leave her alone and
thought that would end it, but
it didnt. I discovered he has
been seeing this woman for
at least 12 years. I love my
husband, but wont tolerate
sharing him anymore.
I knew when we married
that we werent soul mates,
but I felt we could have a
good marriage. Hank knows
if he leaves, his son will
despise him and he wont be
able to see the grandchildren.
Should I talk to the other
woman and ask her to stop
seeing him? What do I do?
-- Desperate in Indiana
Dear Indiana: Contacting
the other woman will not
produce the result you want:
for Hank to stop cheating.
He is unhappy in his mar-
riage and thinks this gives
him license to ignore his
wedding vows. It does not.
But you are also unhappy,
twisting yourself into knots,
trying to make Hank a faith-
ful, loving husband. It isnt
working. Get some counsel-
ing. Find out what its worth
to you to keep your marriage
intact and what your next
step should be.
Dear Annie: My daughter
and son-in-law had a little
celebration for my grand-
sons first birthday. The baby
gets fussy in big crowds, and
their house is small, so they
decided to invite only the
grandparents.
Several days after the
party, I received an angry
email from a niece stating,
How nice it would have been
to actually have been invited
to the party. She copied all
of my relatives. I responded,
explaining why the guest list
was so small, and chastised
her for complaining in front
of the entire family. Then her
mother (my husbands sister)
sent an email chewing me
out, saying she and her hus-
band were hurt because they
werent invited, either, and
accused me of attacking
my niece. My brother-in-law
sent my daughter a text mes-
sage saying the same thing.
I apologized to my niece
for chastising her, but I was
thoroughly annoyed. I dont
think my daughter and son-
in-law did anything wrong
by keeping the party small. I
feel these relatives were very
rude. How could we have
handled this situa-
tion better? -- Fed
Up in Cornwall,
Pa.
Dear Fed Up:
Your daughter did
nothing wrong.
Your niece and
her parents are
thin-skinned and
hypersensitive. You
could have replied,
Were so sorry you
felt slighted. It was
not intentional. Only
grandparents were invited.
Then ignore them.
Dear Annie: Bob was
unhappy that his stepchildren
dont call him Dad. You
failed to give Bob your usual
good advice: to get a com-
plete medical checkup.
Bob said he is withdraw-
ing from family members
who love him and waking up
at 3:30 a.m. feeling despon-
dent. I happen to know that
an underactive thyroid can
cause those symptoms, and
few doctors check that in
men. -- R.
Dear R.: Thank you so
much for mentioning this
possibility. Other readers
pointed out that Bobs obses-
sive focus on his title could
indicate depression. We love
how our readers look out for
one another. We hope Bob
will schedule a complete
checkup soon and ask his
physician to check for these
things.

FRIDAY, JUNE 8, 2012
Two separate individuals who
have proved lucky for you in the
past could be even more so in the
year ahead. Itll be worth it to stick
with them through any tough times,
because when the trouble passes,
youll be in clover once more.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) --
New channels are likely to be opened,
enabling you to add to your resources.
It wont be luck that makes it happen,
itll be a whole lot of elbow grease.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
-- A powerful desire to explore fresh
avenues of self-expression could be
extremely strong within you. However,
if youre going to indulge, measure
both the good and bad aspects.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Youll
feel better about yourself if you
first complete what you have on the
drawing board before launching a new
endeavor. Rewards for doing so are at
hand -- dont get off course.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) --
An interesting development having
to do with your social life could be
looming. Chances are it will involve
someone youve wanted to meet for
quite some time.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Make
it a point to elevate your expectations
regarding what youd like to get out
of your job or career. Dont allow
self-doubt to cause you to believe that
your goals are unattainable.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)
-- Although youre in a cycle where
youre likely to be something of a
visionary, if you hope to make your
dreams a reality, you must still be
pragmatic about what you want.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec.
21) -- If youve been contemplating
an investment, dont make any moves
without first consulting a friend who is
an expert and has effectively advised
you previously.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
-- An alliance in which youre now
involved has mutual benefits to share,
but you must nurture it properly if you
want it to continue to offer its bounty.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
19) -- Although at times you might
have temporarily experienced some
disenchantment with your work,
youve never felt impelled to change
jobs. Once again any career problems
will pass.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) --
Go with the flow, but dont depend
on a new social contact to help you
advance a commercial endeavor.
It could be unsettling if your
acquaintance fails to deliver.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) --
Although your patience at times might
be pushed beyond its breaking point,
you wont give up on whatever it is
youre doing -- mostly because you
can see the results in your mind.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) --
Because youre smart enough to not
let your optimism cloud out reality,
success will be yours. You realize that
accomplishments come from seeing
things and people for what they are.
