Lawmakers pass
JobsOhio bill
By ANN SANNER
The Associated Press
COLUMBUS (AP) —
Gov. John Kasich scored his
first key legislative victory
Wednesday as lawmakers in
the House and Senate passed
his plan to hand over job cre-
ation functions to a nonprofit
corporation.
The bill sets up a frame-
work for JobsOhio, a private-
public partnership that would
lead the state’s economic
development efforts. The mea-
sure directs the Department of
Development’s interim direc-
tor, Mark Kvamme, to review
performs and what could be
transferred to the new entity.
The Republican-led Senate
passed the bill on a 31-2 vote
after lawmakers changed it to
address some questions about
ethics and public access. The
House, which had approved
an earlier version, agreed to
the changes on a 60-35 vote. It
now goes to Kasich, who will
sign the measure Friday, his
office said.
“Ohio must embrace new,
innovative job-creation meth-
ods, and with JobsOhio we
nomic opportunities otherwise
the Republican governor wrote
in a statement.
Under the Senate revisions,
the nine-member JobsOhio
board that Kasich chairs and
selects would have to report
travel expenses paid for by
corporations. The bill would
afterward.
Many public records, open
meetings and ethics laws
would not apply to the enti-
ty. The changes came after
the proposal drew heat from
mostly Democratic lawmakers
who said it would keep tax-
payers in the dark as the board
negotiates with businesses to
attract employers to Ohio and
State Sen. Chris Widener,
a Springfield Republican who
chairs the Senate Finance
Committee, said the revisions
his panel made now make
clear what JobsOhio could do
as a nonprofit and what it
would have to disclose.
The changes call for
JobsOhio to keep public and
private funds separate. This
would allow the entity to
invest private dollars in a com-
pany without any constitution-
al problems, Widener said. It’s
also prohibited from making

political donations.
The Senate amendments
were enough to assuage con-
cerns from some Democrats
in that chamber. All but two
of the 10 Senate Democrats
voted to pass the legislation.
“We’re at such a point in
this state where we need to
aggressively pursue ideas to
create jobs,” said state Sen.
Eric Kearney, D-Cincinnati.
“No bill is perfect.”
Most of Kearney’s
Democratic colleagues in the
House said the Senate revi-
sions did not go far enough.
“I still think we’re driving
in the dark,” said Rep. Matt
Lundy, D-Elyria. “JobsOhio is a
fertile ground for corruption.”
Rep. Robert Mecklenborg,
R- Green Township, said it
was time for the opposing
party to get on board with
the plan. Ohio has lost about Photos submitted
400,000 jobs during the past
four years.
“We need to get rid of the
naysayers and the doomsayers
and get on with the business
of this state and that is the cre-
ation of jobs,” Mecklenborg
said. “It is going to take a lot
to right this ship of state and
this is the first step.”
Catherine Turcer, of the
government watchdog group
Ohio Citizen Action, called the
changes an “improvement,”
but added that she still had
concerns about the public’s
access to documents, such as
the financial disclosure state-
ments the JobsOhio board
members and other officers
would be required to file.
The Senate changes clari-
fied that board members
and senior-level employees
would have to disclose their
finances with the Ohio Ethics
Commission, just as university
trustees do. However, the dis-
closure forms that detail their
business holdings and sources
of income of more than $500
would be kept confidential.
If the commission identifies
any conflict of interest, those
would be made public.

WMD lies led to war in iraq
LONDON (AP) — An
Iraqi man whose testimony the
United States used as a key
evidence to build a case for
war in Iraq says he is proud
that he lied about his country
developing mobile biological

The Guardian newspa-

Wednesday with Rafid Ahmed
Alwan al-Janabi, who has been
identified as the informer called
“Curveball,” whose claims
about weapon labs formed part
of then-U.S. Secretary of State

shortly before the war began.

Although some intelli-
gence agents were skeptical
of Curveball’s story, the U.S.
Senate Intelligence Committee
reported in 2004 that the
Central Intelligence Agency
“withheld important informa-
tion about Curveball’s reliabil-
ity” from analysts dealing with
the case.
The Guardian interviewed
al-Janabi in Karlsruhe,
Germany, in a mixture of
Arabic and German. The U.S.

Curveball spoke in English and

Meanwhile, an angry judge

The caller said the twins’

with duct tape and they were
kept in a bathtub as punish-

The state officials described

Huffman proposes
school choice bill
COLUMBUS — At
a press conference at the
Ohio Statehouse, State
Representative Matt Huffman
(R-Lima) today unveiled leg-
islation to reform and expand
school choice within the
state of Ohio. When enacted,
this bill will extend private
school options to more low-
and middle-income families,
as well as open eligibility to
families currently attending
private school who are mak-
ing sacrifices to pay tuition.
The legislation will eliminate
the failing schools model as
the determining factor when
choosing voucher recipients.
“All Ohio families should
have choices to decide what
education gives their chil-
dren the best opportunity,”
Huffman said. “It is my intent
to open doors to more students
by combining the Cleveland
and Ed Choice voucher pro-
grams. This program has no
cap on the number of vouch-
ers statewide.”
Specifically, Rep.
Huffman’s legislation
will designate scholarship
amounts that are 80 percent
of the amount of the state
share of education and vary
based on the income level of
the family. When a student
who currently attends a pub-
lic school utilizes the scholar-
ship, the difference between
the full state funding amount
($5,783) and the scholarship
amount (which may offer
$1,157 to $3,470 per student)
will render considerable sav-
ings to the state.
Huffman’s legislation
will also create the Special
Education Scholarship
Program to provide scholar-
ships for disabled children in
grades K-12 to attend alterna-
tive public or private special
education programs.
“No child should be denied
access to any school choice
options that best meets their
learning needs,” Huffman
said. “Above all, this legis-
lation is designed to extend
private school choice to more
Ohio GE Aviation plant
will battle on for funding
By DAN SEWELL
Associated Press
EVENDALE — Folks
involved with the GE Aviation
plant in southwest Ohio are
used to being in the target
sights of Washington budget-
cutters, but the latest shot at a
key project here has hit hard.
The Republican-controlled
House voted Wednesday
to cancel $450 million for
an alternative engine being
developed for the F-35 fighter
jet. The vote backed Barack
Obama’s administration and
the Pentagon in saying that
the GE Aviation-Rolls Royce
joint project can be sacrificed
in the effort to rein in the fed-
eral deficit.
President George W.
Bush’s administration had
said the same thing, but
the House — with backing
from Ohio political leaders
including now-Speaker John
Boehner — had kept funding
the program. Boehner’s dis-
trict neighbors the plant.
Word of the vote spread
quickly in this northern
Cincinnati suburb just off of
Interstate 75.
“It’s sad. It could hurt,”
said John Pollock, a GE retir-
ee. But he said he wasn’t
surprised.
“We have to cut money
somewhere,” he said.
Jeff Famble, whose wife
works at GE, said losing the
project would be at a bad time.
“Ohio is one of the states
that needs jobs the most. We’re
trying to get the economy
going,” Famble said. “I don’t
know what’s going on behind
the scenes in Washington, but
I know what the scene is here:
We need jobs. You’ve got to
take care of your backyard.”
Some 1,000 jobs, includ-
ing GE employees and sub-
contractors, are linked to the
project in the Cincinnati area,
GE Aviation spokesman Rick
Kennedy said. The General
Electric Co. division has long
been a major player in the
southwest Ohio economy. It
still has some 7,500 employ-
ees in the region, though that’s
less than half of what it had in
Cold War days.
Kennedy said the work-
ers will keep going on the
project.
“For the first
time, many Ohio
school parents
will have control
over how their
child’s education
dollar is spent.”

never had a choice or have
been making tremendous sac-
rifices to make that choice.”

be rolled into an Education
Savings Account for the indi-

also encourage parents to find
the best value for their child’s
education. Parents may use
the education savings account
to pay for private school
tuition and fees, school or
college textbooks, or tuition
and fees at an Ohio college,
university or post-high school
institution.
“For the first time, many
Ohio school parents will have
control over how their child’s

said Huffman.
Participating private
schools must be chartered by
the state or have a letter of
approval from the state, or be
in the state chartering process
and post a surety bond or let-

dents must take the same state
assessments that are required
of public school students,
and the Ohio Department of
Education is required to col-
lect and report assessment
data in the same manner that
is required of public schools.
This legislation will soon
be referred to a House com-

Dear EarthTalk: What’s
the latest research on the
question of whether cell
phone use causes cancer?
— William Thigpen, via
e-mail
Cell phones have only
been in widespread use for a
couple of decades, which is
far too short a time for us to
know conclusively whether
or not using them could cause
cancer. Research thus far
appears to indicate that most
of us have little if anything to
worry about.
According to the feder-
ally funded National Cancer
Institute, the low-frequency
electromagnetic radiation that
cell phones give off when we
hold them up to our heads
is “non-ionizing,” meaning
it cannot cause significant
human tissue heating or body
temperature increases that
could lead to direct damage
to cellular DNA. By con-
trast, X-rays consist of high-
frequency ionizing electro-
magnetic radiation and can
lead to the kind of cellular
damage resulting in cancer.
Nonetheless, some cell phone
users and researchers still
worry about our cell phone
usage, given how much we
now use them and how little
we know about their potential
long-term effects.
The reason the issue keeps
coming up is that some ini-
tial studies in Europe, where
cell phone usage caught on
a decade before the U.S.,
showed links between some
forms of tumors and heavy
cell phone usage. As a result,
researchers teamed up to do a
more definitive study, called
the “Interphone” study,
across 13 countries between
2000 and 2004. The results,
published in May 2010 in the
peer-reviewed International
Journal of Epidemiology,
indicated no increased risk
of developing two of the
most common types of brain
tumors, glioma and menin-
gioma, from typical everyday
cell phone usage. Study par-
ticipants who reported spend-
ing the most time on their
phones showed a slightly
increased risk of developing
gliomas, but researchers con-
sidered this finding inconclu-
sive due to factors such as
recall bias, whereby partici-
pants with brain tumors may
have simply remembered past
cell phone use differently
from healthy respondents.
Researchers looking to get
past the relatively short tim-
ing window and the recall bias
issues of the Interphone study
recently launched a longer
term study, dubbed COSMOS
WEDDING

(short for Cohort Study on

in Europe. Some 250,000
cell phone users between
the ages of 18 and 69 and
located in Britain, Finland,
the Netherlands, Sweden and
Denmark will participate by
allowing researchers to track
their cell phone usage and
health over three decades.
According to an April 22,
2010 article in Reuters, the
study will factor in the use of
hands-free devices and how
people carry their phones and
will also be on the lookout
for links to neurological dis-
eases such as Parkinson’s and
Alzheimer’s.
There are some precau-
tions you can take to mini-
mize whatever risk may exist.
The Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) sug-
gests reserving the use of
cell phones for shorter con-
versations, or for times
when a conventional phone
isn’t available. Also, using
a hands-free device places
more distance between the
phone and your head, signifi-
cantly reducing the amount
of radiation exposure. If the
fact that many states require
hands-free devices for using
a cell phone while driving
isn’t enough to make you
go out and spend the extra
money on such an accessory,
maybe the cancer risk, per-
ceived or real, will.
Dear EarthTalk: In his
recent State of the Union
Address, President Obama
called for a million electric
vehicles on American roads
by 2015. How likely is it
that we’ll attain that goal?
— Jerry Mitlitski, Salem,
OR
“We can break our depen-
dence on oil … and become
the first country to have one
million electric vehicles on
the road by 2015,” President
Obama said in his January
2011 State of the Union
address. “The future is ours
to win.”
It’s difficult to say how
likely such an arbitrary goal
might be, but green leaders
and others are optimistic. The
waiting list for the new elec-

long. The auto industry
expects similar demand for
other new electric and plug-
in hybrid cars hitting U.S.
roads this year and next
from General Motors, Ford,
Toyota, Mitsubishi and oth-
ers.
Of course, the Obama
administration realizes that
attaining such a goal will
be impossible without help
from the federal government.
To that end, consumers and
businesses can get tax credits
worth up to $7,500 on the
purchase of each new elec-
tric vehicle (EV). The feds
have also committed $2.4 bil-
lion for research and devel-
opment into improving EV
batteries, and another $115
million for the installation
of EV charging infrastruc-
ture in 16 different metro
areas around the country—
not to mention some $300
million in clean cities grants
to dozens of American com-
munities working to reduce
petroleum use, and the $25
billion being doled out to
help U.S. automakers retool.
So much federal involvement
has helped spur state govern-
ments and private industry to
make significant investments
in the EV sector as well.
But even with all this
funding, a million EVs
on the road by 2015 may
still be just a pipe dream.
James Sweeney of Stanford
University’s Precourt Energy
Efficiency Center calls the
plan “very aggressive.” He
reasons that it took over a
decade for hybrids—which
“did not require any differ-

had as great a range as con-
ventional vehicles, neither of
which is likely to be the case
with electric vehicles”—to
capture three percent of the
U.S. passenger car and light
truck market. EVs would
have to achieve the same mar-
ket share in just four years if
Obama’s goal is to be real-
ized. “Even with a large sub-
sidy, it would be very hard to
move to such a large market
share that quickly,” Sweeney
concludes.
The Electrification
Coalition, an organization of
pro-EV business leaders from
companies including Nissan,
Federal Express, Coda
Automotive and Coulomb
Technologies, would take
issue with that conclu-
sion, however. The group’s
November 2009 study,
dubbed the Electrification
Roadmap, predicted that
as many as 14 million EVs
could be on American roads
by 2020 if lawmakers create
“electrification ecosystems”
in several major U.S. cities
simultaneously. If the group
is anywhere near the mark,
reaching Obama’s goal of a
million EVs by 2015 should
be a no-brainer. The group
also says that EVs could
account for as many as 75
percent of all miles driven by
light duty vehicles in the U.S.
by 2040.
Now if only we could clean
up our supply of electricity
too, then we really might be
onto something good for the
planet…

The showdown 233-198
Tea party targets moderate Republicans to attack
By HENRY C. JACKSON
and KEVIN FREKING
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — What
does a longtime Republican
senator with a national repu-
tation for working well with
Democrats do in the face of a
potentially career-ending tea
party challenge?
If you’re Richard Lugar
of Indiana, you tell them to
“get real.”
If you’re Olympia Snowe
of Maine, you fight off the
“Snowe Removal” effort by
making key alliances with tea
party activists and highlight-
ing your record of fiscal con-
servatism.
And if you’re Orrin Hatch
of Utah, you woo them.
Lugar, Snowe and Hatch
are all on notice that their
approach to governance may
no longer be welcome.
It’s clear the tea party
— not even 2 years old —
isn’t going away anytime
soon after huge success in
last fall’s congressional elec-
tions. Dozens of its favorite
candidates — Republicans
who champion limited gov-
ernment and sharply reduced
spending — won House and
Senate races. Now, the tea
party is empowered and turn-
ing its attention to vulnerable

senators handle the tea party
threat will go a long way to

it’s impossible to trim federal
spending without laying off
government workers but that
those workers eventually will
recover. “They found their
way into public jobs,” said
Rep. Tom Price, R-Ga. “They
can find their way into pri-
vate jobs” as the economy
improves, he said.
Democrats and many
mainstream economists,
however, dispute GOP claims
that deep federal spending
cuts will lead directly to more
private-sector jobs.
Boehner forwarded a let-
ter to the White House from
150 economists — many
with conservative back-
grounds — saying: “To sup-
port real economic growth
and support the creation of
private-sector jobs, immedi-
ate action is needed to rein in
federal spending.” The three-
paragraph letter did not seek
to document a link between
lower government spending
and increased jobs, and some
rival economists said it would
be hard to do so.

9 percent, the evidence that
federal spending hurts job

for the F-35 — as does the
Democratic-controlled Senate
— so it still has a big chance
as the sprawling measure
makes its way through the
Senate and on to Obama.

especially freewheeling,
with dozens of votes pos-
sible on amendments,
including those cutting the
National Endowment for the
Arts, restoring family plan-
ning funds, boosting health
research and reversing cuts to
community health centers.
The underlying bill would
make cuts totaling more than
$60 billion from the agency
budgets Congress passes each
year. Nearly all of the reduc-
tions are aimed at domestic
programs and foreign aid,
including aid for schools,
determining whether the out-
come mirrors that of 2010.
In Maine, which has a
conventional primary, Snowe
is unlikely to face the same
purity test. Her home state
also has a much more mod-
erate streak than Utah or
Indiana. Still, her willingness
to buck her party, particularly
on social issues, has raised
talk of a primary challenge.
The Tea Party Express has
announced its disapproval of
her votes for stimulus fund-
ing and her support of the
Supreme Court nominations
of Elena Kagan and Sonia
Sotomayor.
Snowe swept to a third
term in 2006 with 74 percent
of the vote. But four years
later she saw an unexpect-
ed conservative resurgence
in her state, with tea party-
backed Paul LePage capturing
the governor’s mansion and
Republicans winning both
chambers of the Legislature.
In Indiana, Lugar, 78, is
telling tea party activists to
“get real” if they want to take
on the New START nuclear
arms reduction treaty. They
also oppose his support for
President Barack Obama’s
Supreme Court nominees and

dren of illegal immigrants if
they graduate from college

omist Alan Blinder. If the
economy were running at full
capacity, he said, Republicans
would have a valid argument
in saying that an extra federal
hire or expenditure might dis-
place a private-sector hire or
expenditure. But there’s a lot
of “slack in the economy,“
he said.
Alexander J. Field, an
economics professor at Santa
Clara University, said he
had “very little sympathy for
the sentiments” in the letter
Boehner forwarded. Spending
cuts should be pursued when
economies are strong, not
weak, he said, and the House
Republicans’ agenda would
probably increase unemploy-
ment.
Senate Democrats said
Wednesday the House GOP
plan would eliminate nearly
$700 million in Title I grants
to schools with disadvantaged
students, and about “10,000
teachers and aides could lose
their jobs.” Congressional
offices circulated White
House budget office esti-
mates saying the Republican
bill would cut Head Start by
more than $1 billion, leading
to the layoffs of about 55,000
teachers and staff.

Policy Institute says that
overall, the House GOP plan
“would likely result in job
losses of just over 800,000.”

Democrats overwhelm-
ingly oppose the measure and
Obama has threatened a veto
if it reaches his desk, citing
sweeping cuts that he says
would endanger the econom-
ic recovery.
House passage is expected
by week’s end, but the Senate
won’t turn to it until after
returning from next week’s
recess, just days before the
expiration of a March 4 dead-
line.
Some Republicans want
to go further, blocking
implementation of Obama’s
signature health care over-
haul and stopping the
Federal Communications
Commission from enforcing
its proposed new “net neu-
trality” policy. That policy
would prohibit telephone
and cable TV companies
from interfering with traffic
on their broadband net-
works.
Rep. Mike Pence, R-Ind.,
is pressing an amendment to
cut off funds to more than
100 Planned Parenthood clin-
ics across the country.
There is also a more
abstract complaint about
Lugar’s genial disposition,
something that has for years
been viewed as a strength as
he worked with Democrats.
They want someone pugna-
cious, less willing to make
deals with Democrats.
Top Indiana tea party lead-
ers recently met to coalesce
behind one Lugar challeng-
er. State Treasurer Richard
Mourdock is expected to
announce his candidacy later
this month.
Hatch, for his part, is
doing anything but what he’s
always done. The senator who
teamed up with a liberal icon,
Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, to
create a government program
to provide health insurance for
poor children is now showing
up at tea party events, sound-
ing far more partisan than
he has in his six terms in the
Senate.
Hatch has good reason
to be nervous. After see-
ing Bennett, a longtime col-
league, defeated amid a tea
party revolt in Utah’s byzan-
tine GOP nominating conven-
tion last year, Hatch immedi-
ately signaled he would not
be caught flat-footed. He
began assiduously courting
the tea party in his home
state. Now Hatch emphasizes
his view that Obama’s health
care overhaul is a monstrous
job killer that would raise
taxes and threaten liberty.

Racers split
with Madonna U.
LIVONIA, Mich. — The
University of Northwestern
Ohio basketball teams split
games versus Madonna
University Wednesday in the
Activities Center in Livonia,
Mich.
In the women’s game, the
Lady Racers grabbed a 78-65
victory.
In the early going, there
were six ties and eight lead
changes, with the biggest lead
being three. That is, until the
5:55 mark when Lady Racer
Shaye Warman (12 markers)
drilled a 3-ball that gave the
visitors the lead for good at
24-23. That jump-started a 14-0
run — with Alexa Kennedy
(14 points, 7 assists, 6 boards)
draining a pair of triples in the
spurt — to put the visitors up
35-23 on an Amanda Francis
(14 markers, 7 boards) basket
at 3:51. The hosts outscored
their guests 8-6 the rest of the
half to get within 41-31 on a
fielder by Tabatha Wydryck
(19 counters, 5 assists) with 13
ticks on the clock.
COLLEGE ROUNDUP
17:05. A 13-2 Madonna spurt,
capped by a pair of free throws
by Bryant Slaughter (26 points,
5 boards) at 12:11, put them
behind 48-36. The Racers
answered with a 12-0 run to knot
it at 48 on a Dustin Guthrie (10
points, 10 caroms) basket in the
paint at 8:17. After Madonna
hit three straight, Bolyard again
swished in a trey at 5:44 to tie it
at 51. Clark hit a deuce at 5:30
and that was the last hurrah for
the Racers. They didn’t give
up but they could never tie the
game up again.
Kyle Gillette also had a dou-
ble-double for the Racers with
22 points and 11 boards.

Defiance takes
advantage at the foul line
in 73-63 win over Beavers
By Mallory Kemper
Sports information intern
DEFIANCE — The Bluffton
University women’s basketball
team traveled to long-time
rival Defiance College on
Wednesday. The Beavers were
down 31-27 at the break and
the Yellow Jackets outscored
Bluffton 42-36 in the second
half for a 73-63 win. Bluffton
fell to 9-15 overall and 6-11
in the Heartland Collegiate
Athletic Conference, while
Defiance improved to 11-13
overall and 9-8 in the HCAC.
Senior Kim Miller (Delphos/
St. John’s) sparked the Bluffton
offense with a layin at the 17:33
mark. A triple from Erica King
gave Defiance a 10-5 lead four
minutes into the game.
A quick bucket at the other
end of the floor by Lauren
Hutton (New Riegel) and a
Kylee Burkholder (West Unity/
Hilltop) jumper pulled the
Beavers within one (10-9) with
14:35 left in the opening half.
For the next five minutes, the
two rivals traded baskets but a
percent) from the field and
Defiance made 22-of-57 (43.9
percent). The Beavers only
went to the line seven times
(hitting 4 for 57.1%), compared
to 22 attempts for the Yellow
Jackets (making 17 for 73.3%).
BU was 7-of-27 on 3s (25.9%)
versus 6-of-16 for Defiance
(37.5%). Bluffton outrebound-
ed Defiance 51-34 (22-6 offen-
sive) but turned the ball over 23
times compared to the Yellow
Jackets’ 15 miscues.
Kim Miller led the Beavers
with 15 points, 15 rebounds
and five assists for her 13
career double-double. Meyer
went 4-of-8 from behind the
arc, ending with 12 markers.
Hutton had her first collegiate
double-double with 11 counters
and 11 boards.
Defiance placed four play-
ers in double digits, includ-
ing Zachrich with 15, Bateman
with 12 and Harshman and
Stucke each with 11. Harshman
and Rachel Ciminillo had five
rebounds each.
Bluffton women will end
their regular season at Earlham
College on Saturday. The battle
between the Beavers and the
The Jays bring in a lineup
— averaging 43.6 and ced-
ing 45.8 — of Curtis Geise
(16.3 points, 4.1 caroms per
game), Alex Recker (6.4 coun-
ters, 4.2 caroms), Derek Klaus
(4.6 markers, 4.4 boards),
Alex Clark (4.6 counters), Ty
Bergfeld (3.7), A.J. Klausing
(3.0), Ben Warnecke (2.4),
Jordan Leininger 92.2), Scott
Klausing (2.1, 2.2 assists),
Austin Vogt (1.3 points) and
Ryan Densel (.3).
“We really have to recog-
nize their defense so we know
what set to run against it. We
want to be very efficient offen-
sively and execute so we can
get our looks,” Elwer noted.
“Defensively, we want to
dictate to them. They like to
drive, so we need to keep them
out of the paint, not only as
individuals but as a team. We
want to make them take con-
tested shots and then clean up
the glass. Outside of Gelhaus,
they don’t have a lot of size.”
The Jays won a pair of
games, dispatching Parkway
44-35 and Lincolnview 43-35.
“Our defense has been a
constant most of the season.
We know that’s what we have
Robert A. Arnzen
Gymnasium has been a trou-
ble spot for the Indians in the
past and Patch expects that to
continue.
“We have won once there
in our school’s history. It’s a
tough place to play,” Patch
added. “We have to come
ready to play and not let the
environment get to us. We
know how good St. John’s is
defensively; they are physical
and aggressive and they aren’t
afraid to body you up. We have
to match that aggression and
physicality and be strong with
the basketball; we don’t want
to give them easy looks off
turnovers and deny ourselves
good shoots at the basket.
“Defensively, we have to
locate their shooters, particu-
larly Geise. He’s been tough to
guard for a lot of teams, so you
don’t dare let him get on a roll.
The issue for us as well is their
underrated inside game. They
have all those big, strong foot-
ball players that love to bang in
the post. They have been able
to give them some big plays
in the paint. We must be able
to handle their physicality and
box them out.”

UNOH shot 15-of-27
(55.6%) in the first half.
Madonna scored the first
five markers of the second half
to get within 41-36 on a Rachel
Melcher (14 markers, 9 boards)
bucket at 17:32. They also got
within five again at 17:01 when
Kaylee McGrath scored inside.
However, that is as close as
the hosts could get the rest of
the night. A fielder by Molly
French (8 rebounds) at 16:32
began a slow and steady build-
ing of a bigger lead by the Lady
Racers, leading by as much
as 72-47 on a Warman bomb
at 6:03. After that, the nearest
the Lady Crusaders could get
was 76-65 on a 3-pointer by
Heather Pratt (9 points) with 14
ticks on the clock.
In the nightcap, the Crusader
men grabbed a 66-61 triumph.
There were four lead chang-
es in the first half, the final one
at 15:26 when Ryan Bahnmiller
(9 markers) netted a deuce for
the hosts to put them up 8-6.
That started a 14-2 spurt that
gave Madonna its biggest lead
of the half at 19-8 on two throws
by Mike Clark (8 counters) at
9:54. Back came the Racers as
a basket by Jake Bolyard (17
counters, 4 dimes) got them
within 26-22 with 1:54 left in
the half. A 3-pointer by Isaac
Bowers ( 10 markers) with no
time on the clock reduced the
deficit to 28-25.
The Racers tried to wrest
control again in the second half,
whittling the deficit to 35-34

AGRICULTURE
ASA concerned with Facebook and Twitter fit farming, family
disproportionate cuts
BY GLEN ARNOLD ing in production agriculture instructor and other students
OSU-Extension, are increasingly using new to learn more about these use-
Putnam County media to market products, ful tools.

to agriculture in H.R. 1
The American Soybean
Association (ASA) has
expressed its concern with
the disproportionate cuts in
agriculture spending in H.R.
1, the Continuing Resolution
(CR) for Fiscal Year (FY)
2011.
On Feb. 15, ASA, joined
by 31 other agriculture
organizations, sent a letter
to House Appropriations
Committee Chairman Harold
Rogers (R-KY) and Ranking
Member Norman Dicks
(D-WA) expressing concern
that H.R. 1 cuts to agricul-
ture are more than double the
amount proposed to be cut in
overall non-defense discre-
tionary spending.
“While we understand the
bill’s efforts to decrease dis-
cretionary spending, we are
concerned that agriculture is
being required to absorb a
disproportionate amount of
the cuts,” said ASA President
Alan Kemper, a soybean
farmer from Lafayette, Ind.
H.R. 1 would cut $5.21
billion, or 22.4 percent, from
agriculture-related programs
and operating budgets during
the remaining seven months
of FY-2011. This is more
than double the 10.3 percent
cut proposed in overall non-
defense discretionary spend-
ing.
“Given the importance
that agriculture plays in
America’s food security
and economic recovery, it
is unclear how such dispro-
portionate cuts are warrant-
ed or wise,” Kemper said.
“ASA is strongly encour-
aging Congress to recon-
sider the balance of funding
cuts for the remainder of
FY-2011.”
The bill was introduced
on Feb. 11 by the House
Appropriations Committee
and will be considered on
the House floor this week.
Each member of the House
of Representatives also
received a copy of the let-
ter. Last December, the
111th Congress passed a
CR to fund the federal gov-
ernment at FY-2010 lev-
els through March 4, 2011.
New legislation to fund
the federal government in
FY-2011 needs to be passed
before work on the 2012
budget can begin.
ASA represents all U.S.
soybean farmers on domes-
tic and international issues
of importance to the soy-
bean industry. ASA’s advo-
cacy efforts are made pos-
sible through the voluntary
membership in ASA by
over 22,500 farmers in 31
states where soybeans are
grown.
Ag educator
Many farmers across the
country are taking advantage
of tools such as Facebook,
Twitter, wikis, podcasts,
YouTube and others to com-
municate with a variety of
audiences.
To help local farm-
ers and agriculturists make
better use of two of these
new tools, a workshop titled
“How Facebook & Twitter
Fit Farming and Family” is
planned for Wednesday at
the Putnam County Extension
office at 124 Putnam Parkway,
Ottawa.
Farmers and others work-
communicate with others
and tell their stories about
farm life. As farming comes
under increasing scrutiny
from environmental animal
rights groups, social media
can be one way to show non-
farm folks what farming is all
about. Few critics of agricul-
ture have ever been in a milk-
ing parlor, fed pigs, repaired
a corn planter or spent $1,000
filling a combine fuel tank
with diesel.
These will be hands-on
workshops to get farmers
started using social media.
Participants will have com-
puters in front of them and
be able to interact with the
The workshops will focus
on using Facebook from 3:30-
6 p.m. Then the focus will
turn to using Twitter from
6:30-9 p.m.
Dan Toland from the Ohio
Farm Bureau will be the pri-
mary instructor. The cost of
the workshop(s) is free to
Farm Bureau members and
$5 to all others. The work-
shops are sponsored by OSU
Extension and the Ohio Farm
Bureau.
Space is limited so to
reserve your spot, contact the
Putnam County Extension
office at 419-523-6294 in
advance. The $5 cost is pay-
able at the door.
