WASHINGTON (AP) President Barack
Obama led the nation in commemorating
Memorial Day, declaring the United States has
reached a pivotal moment in Afghanistan
with the end of war approaching.
Obama, who returned just hours earlier
from a surprise visit with U.S. troops at
Bagram Air Field in Afghanistan, paid tribute
to those lost in battle there and elsewhere over
history. He called them patriots who made
the ultimate sacrifice for their country.
Early this morning, I returned from
Afghanistan, Obama told the audience
of several thousand people. Yesterday, I
visited with some of our men and women
serving there 7,000 miles from home.
For more than 12 years, men and women
like those I met with have borne the bur-
den of our nations security. Now, because
of their profound sacrifice, because of the
progress they have made, were at a pivotal
moment.
Our troops are coming home. By the
end of this year, our war in Afghanistan will
finally come to end, the president said to
applause. And yesterday at Bagram, and
here today at Arlington, we pay tribute to the
nearly 2,200 American patriots whove made
the ultimate sacrifice in Afghanistan. We
will honor them, always. Obama has said
it was likely that a small contingent of U.S.
forces would stay behind for counterterrorism
missions, as well as to train Afghan security
forces.
The president made a fleeting reference
to the widening scandal involving reports
of poor performance by the Department of
Veterans Affairs, which is facing allegations
of delayed treatments, and even deaths in
Arizona.
As weve been reminded in recent days
we must do more to keep faith with our
veterans and their families, and ensure they
get the care and benefits and opportunities
that theyve earned and that they deserve,
said the president.
These Americans have done their duty.
They ask nothing more than that our country
does ours now and for decades to come,
he added, drawing more applause.
Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki,
a retired Army general, was among those
attending the ceremony. Lawmakers from
both parties have pressed for policy chang-
es and better management at the depart-
ment.
The Arlington remembrance was dupli-
cated in villages, towns, cities and counties
across the country. There was a holiday
weekend reunion of some of the last surviv-
ing members of the Tuskegee Airmen in
upstate New York. More than 3,000 volun-
teers placed flags at the graves of 120,000
veterans at the Florida National Cemetery.
And in Mississippi, the annual Vicksburg
Memorial Day parade was being accompanied
by a wreath-laying ceremony at Vicksburg
National Cemetery.
Navy Petty Officer 1st Class Brian McNeal,
who is stationed at Suffolk, Virginia, joined
those attending Fleet Week in New York City.
They made the sacrifice so everyday citizens
dont have to worry about the evils of the
world, he said.

Medicaid surge triggers cost concerns for states
By RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR
Associated Press
WASHINGTON From California to Rhode
Island, states are confronting new concerns that
their Medicaid costs will rise as a result of the fed-
eral health care law.
Thats likely to revive the debate about how fed-
eral decisions can saddle states with unanticipated
expenses.
Before President Barack Obamas law expanded
Medicaid eligibility, millions of people who were
already entitled to its safety-net coverage were not
enrolled. Those same people are now signing up in
unexpectedly high numbers, partly because of pub-
licity about getting insured under the law.
For states red or blue, the catch is that they must
use more of their own money to cover this particu-
lar group.
In California, Democratic Gov. Jerry Browns
recent budget projected an additional $1.2 bil-
lion spending on Medi-Cal, the states version of
Medicaid, due in part to surging numbers. State
officials say about 300,000 more already-eligible
Californians are expected to enroll than was esti-
mated last fall.
Our policy goal is to get people covered, so
in that sense its a success, said state legislator
Richard Pan, a Democrat who heads the California
State Assemblys health committee. We are going
to have to deal with how to support the success.
Online exchanges that offer subsidized pri-
vate insurance are just one part of the health care
laws push to expand coverage. The other part is
Medicaid, and it has two components.
First, the law allows states to expand Medicaid
eligibility to people with incomes up to 138 per-
cent of the federal poverty line, about $16,100 for
an individual. Washington pays the entire cost for
that group through 2016, gradually phasing down
to a 90 percent share. About half the states have
accepted the offer to expand coverage in this way.
But whether or not a state expands Medicaid,
all states are on the hook for a significantly bigger
share of costs when it comes to people who were
Medicaid-eligible under previous law. The federal
governments share for this group averages about
60 percent nationally. In California, its about a
50-50 split, so for each previously eligible resident
who signs up, the state has to pony up half the cost.
There could be many reasons why people didnt
sign up in the past.
They may have simply been unaware. Some
may not have needed coverage. Others see a social
stigma attached to the program for those with the
lowest incomes. But now virtually everyone in the
country is required to have coverage or risk fines.
Thats more motivation to come forward.
Its not a bad thing that we are opening a door
that should have been open before, said Judy
Solomon of the Center for Budget and Policy
Priorities, which advocates for the poor.
The budget consequences are real.
Clearly we are going to need to do our best to
make sure we are working within the budget we
are given, said Deidre Gifford, Rhode Islands
Medicaid director.
States always expected that some previously
eligible people would sign up, but Gifford said
her state enrolled 5,000 to 6,000 more than it had
projected.
In Washington state, people who were previ-
ously eligible represent about one-third of new
Medicaid enrollments, roughly 165,000 out of a
total of nearly 483,000. But state officials say they
are treating that as a preliminary number, and the
true net increase may be lower once they factor in
people who drop out of the program for a host of
reasons, such as getting a job with coverage.

Paul V. Krietemeyer
FORT JENNINGS
Paul V. Krietemeyer, 78, of
Fort Jennings passed away
on Monday morning at the
Van Wert Inpatient Hospice
Center.
Arrangements are pending
at the Strayer Funeral Home.
At 4:28 p.m. May 20, the Delphos Police Department was
contacted by a female that reported a protection order viola-
tion. The female told officers that the male, Kurt Brandehoff,
whom she has the protection order against, has been contacting
her repeatedly. Officers investigated the matter and found that
Brandehoff was in fact in violation of the order. Due to this,
charges of violation of protection order were filed in Lima
Municipal Court.
At 7:51 p.m. May 20, officers were dispatched to a domes-
tic dispute occurring in the 900 block of East Fifth Street.
Upon officers arrival, they met with the victim who stated that
the father of her children had stolen money from her purse and
had assaulted her. The female requested that the incident just
be documented at this time.
On May 20, officers were sent to 610 N. Bredeick St. to
investigate a domestic dispute. Officers arrived and found
that the two parties were arguing and no physical altercation
had taken place. Both parties were advised to separate if pos-
sible and stated that they would. Moments later, officers were
called back to the residence where the female stated that the
male, Steven Ashby, had struck her. The victim stated that she
wished to pursue charges. Due to this, Ashby was taken into
custody and transported to the Van Wert County Jail. He will
appear in Van Wert Municipal Court to face the charge.
At 3:23 p.m. Wednesday, officers responded to the 700
block of East Third Street to investigate a report of a burglary
at a residence there. Upon arrival, officers were told that sever-
al items were missing from inside the residence. Officers have
information on a suspect and are continuing the investigation.
At 7:45 p.m. Wednesday, officers responded to 610 Wayne
St. to serve an active warrant for Jeremy Whitaker issued
out of Lima Municipal Court. Upon arrival to that residence,
officers did locate Whitaker inside. He was taken into custody
and transported to the Allen County Jail. He was also served
with two summons for the charge of receiving stolen property.
He will appear in Lima Municipal Court to face those charges
as well.
At 5:10 a.m. Thursday, officers were sent to the 1100 block
of North Washington Street to investigate a theft from a motor
vehicle. Officers met with the victim and found that several
items were missing from inside.
At 8:17 a.m. Thursday, officers were sent to the 1400 block
of North Main Street to investigate two motor vehicles that had
been broken into at a residence there as well. Officers found
that miscellaneous change had been removed from one of the
vehicles.

STATE/LOCAL
Van Wert County to launch job-matching website
INFORMATION SUBMITTED
VAN WERT Van Wert County
Economic Development Director Sarah
K. Smith is a matchmaker.
But instead of connecting people
looking for love, Smith is working on
putting together people looking for jobs
with businesses who need good employ-
ees. Thats where VanWertWorks.com, a
web-based employment service, comes
into play.
The website, to launch this summer,
will feature area employers. It will pro-
vide a way to post job openings as well as
data about company news and announce-
ments, events and information about their
business. The county economic develop-
ment initiative is modeled on a very suc-
cessful program in Mercer County called
Hometown Opportunity,
which focuses efforts on
Mercer, Auglaize and
Darke counties and will
be linked to Van Wert
Works.
Van Wert County
teamed up with an area
small business to build
the site.
Natural Design and
Graphics is excited to be partnering with
Van Wert County to launch the new Van
Wert Works website. We look forward
to the opportunities for employers and
members of the community this site will
offer, said owner Kelly Goyings.
We want to leave no stone unturned
in helping people find
good jobs, and likewise
to help businesses find
good employees, Smith
said. Its also important
to show kids that we do
have opportunity waiting
for them to stay home for
after high school or come
home to after college.
Smith will visit local
employers to set up profiles and informa-
tion. The site also has potential of a future
application tied with our local schools
to provide career path development and
possibily building resumes, a result of
the Beyond the Classroom portion on the
recently awarded Straight A grant made
to several local area schools. The possible
application will be fine-tuned throughout
the summer and ready for release with the
start of the 2014-15 school year.
Ive found that a lot of people from
Van Wert dont even realize the amazing
advantages our county has to offer, Smith
added. We have a talented workforce
with a dedicated ag-based work ethic.
And we also have jobs and opportunities
available that a lot of homegrown talent
misses or overlooks. VanWertWorks.com
will hopefully help to close that gap and
get the right people connected.
Employers can contact Smith at 419-
238-6159 for more information.
YWCA announces Summer Food Program
INFORMATION
SUBMITTED
VAN WERT The YWCA
of Van Wert County announces
its 19th year of sponsorship of
the free Summer Food Service
Program for youth.
During the school year,
many children receive free
and reduced-price breakfast
and lunch through the School
Breakfast and National School
Lunch Programs. However,
during summer vacation, chil-
dren may not have the same
access to nutritious meals.
The goal of the Summer Food
Program is to fill that nutritional
gap and make sure children can
get the nutritious meals they
need.
The program aims to fill
the participants time with posi-
tive activities, including field
trips, volunteer opportunities,
interactions with a variety of
speakers, presentations and cre-
ate mentoring relationships to
encourage constructive deci-
sion making. All activities are
well supervised by qualified
mentors, supervisors and life-
guards.
Free, nutritious meals and
recreational programs will be
made available to children 4-15
years of age. Free meals are
available to any child ages 4-18
years old. All 4 year-olds must
be potty-trained to participate
in the recreation program. The
meals will be provided without
regard to race, color, national
origin, gender, age or disability
and there will be no discrimina-
tion in the course of the meal
service.
Breakfast is served from 8-9
a.m. and lunch from 11:30 a.m.-
1 p.m. The program will begin
June 16 and run until Aug. 15.
Children may be dropped off no
earlier than 8 a.m. and picked
up no later than 1 p.m.
Registration forms are avail-
able at the front desk of the
YWCA and through the YWCA
of Van Wert Countys website,
www.ywca.org/vanwertcounty.
Last year the YWCA served
over 20,000 meals through the
Summer Food Program. Ohio
Department of Education,
Child Nutrition Services and
the United Way of Van Wert
County are the sponsors of this
program.
For more information, con-
tact Danni Chiles, program
director, at 419-238-6639.

ship.
Those attending the class can use the informa-
tion provided to participate in the annual Business

pete for business development funds, a Chamber
membership, continued counseling and business
courses. A business counselor is available to offer

tions as necessary. Personal business counseling
services are free and no limit is placed on the num-
ber of appointments. Business counselors assist
with business financing for start-ups, business
structure, planning and record-keeping.

State seeks to trim costs for trimming grass
DAYTON (AP) The
state is spending roughly $1
million in search of a less
costly and easier way to cut
the grass and manage the
trees and shrubs along Ohios
interstates and highways.
The Dayton Daily News
reports that the effort began
last year with the state put-
ting up $177,000 for the first
phase of a consulting contract
with the Kent-based Davey
Resource Group. The com-
panys recommended changes
included spraying chemicals
in certain areas to limit the
growth of grass and weeds.
But the projects second
phase is pricier. The lat-
est contract with the com-
pany will cost taxpayers
$1,002,048, the newspaper
reports.
A state transportation offi-
cial says Ohio is trying to
be more efficient with veg-
etation management, while
ensuring that animals are kept
off the highway.

Pain Doctor Discovers Blood Flow-
Busting Material Into Miracle Socks
for Diabetics and Foot Pain Sufferers!
Breakthrough circulation-boosting fibers improve blood flow, relieve swelling,
boost oxygen flow, and eliminate foot fatigue - naturally in as little as 5 minutes!
Being Diabetic, I never had pain-free feet - UNTILNOW!
PAD ADVERTSEMENT
What part of your swollen, tired,
or achy feet would you like to see
go-away?
If you suffer from poor circula-
tion, injury, swelling or any condi-
tion that leaves your feet fatigued
and sore, then read on to discover
the breakthrough that can change
your life.
Good news comes in the form of
a pain-busting microfiber that is
used to weave a circulation-boost-
ing sock, called Bambusa
TM
.
Better Blood Flow
The miracle sock is made from
a new, patented anion-technology
that is weaved into every strand of
thread used to make a Bambusa
TM
sock. This special micro-fiber
thread is made from revolutionary
bamboo charcoal to stimulate
blood flow andrevitalize feet.
When this material comes in con-
tact with body-heat it is proven to
release circulation-boosting ions.
The 3D-weave technology used
in the material has been compared
to infrared light therapy to help re-
vitalize stiff and sore muscles. The
manufacturer, who also makes a
back and wrist sleeve, says the ma-
terial provides almost instant relief
to any part of the body it touches,
making it ideal for diabetics, ath-
letes,inflammation, stiffness and
swelling.
Anne M. from California agrees.
Bambusa socks are absolutely the
most comfortable socks I have ever
worn! My feet are no longer fa-
tigued!
Therapy
Without A Prescription!
When the socks were pho-
tographed using a thermographic
imaging camera, results showed up
to a 17% to 22% increase in blood
flow. This helped to improvemus-
cle oxygenation and decrease foot
fatigue. The socks have been proven
to provide extended relief from
cold, swollen and fatigued feet.
Doctor
Recommended
Pain specialist
of 30 years, Dr.
Jahner comments
on the 3D-weave
technology. In-
frared therapy has
been used for
years at medical
clinics to treat vascular and circula-
tory conditions. Physical therapists
use infrared therapy to speed re-
covery. Better blood flow equals
less pain. This microfiber works
much the same way.
"Circulatory dysfunction affects
MOST of the adult population in
the United States. Heart Disease,
Strokes and Diabetic conditions are
at epidemic levels; anything that
improves circulation improves cel-
lular health and vitality. I use the
Bambusa product myself and rec-
ommend it to my clients. It really
works! states Dr Jahner.
Results in Minutes?
John G. of California claims he
felt immediate results with his
tired, swollen feet. Without exag-
geration the relief was almost in-
stantaneous. It is like a heating pad
set to low and wrapped around my
calf. I will be replacing my entire
set of dress socks with these
socks!
Relief for Tired, Swollen Feet
Bambusa
TM
socks are not a med-
ical device or compression socks
because they dont restrict blood
flow. Utilizing the special negative-
anion technology, they comfortably
increase blood flow and oxygen to
tissues. My feet felt wonderful,
cool, and I never got that pins and
needles feeling anymore. I love my
Bambusa
TM
socks, says Nancy,
from NJ.
They are ideal for diabetics and
those suffering from neuropathy or
injury from repetitive use. Bam-
busa
TM
socks can also bring com-
fort to tired legs within minutes of
putting them on, energizing indi-
viduals who spend long hours on
their feet.
Goodbye to Pain and Numbness
Marilyn H. has suffered persist-
ent foot problems for years and no-
ticed fast results. The issue for me
was persistent numbness in my
toes - it was gone completely after
a few days of wearing these socks!
Being diabetic, I never had pain-
free feet - UNTILNOW!
I went out on the golf course
for 18 holes of golf, and when I got
home my feet werent swollen,
they werent sweating and my feet
didnt hurt, says Lou B. from New
York.
BENEFITS:
Increased blood flow and
oxygen
Reduced swelling and pain
Anti-microbial
Wicks away moisture
Increased range of motion
IDEALFOR:
Neuropathy
Raynaud's Syndrome
Cramping
Cold Feet
Tom from NJ reports, I suffer
from chronic foot cramps. My feet
were sore for days after the cramp-
ing. My wife gave me the Bam-
busa
TM
socks, I wore them, and the
foot cramps stopped. I replaced all
my socks with Bambusa
TM
. My
feet feel great now.

The infrared anions generated by the charcoal bamboo in-
crease blood flow and deliver oxygen to the tissues. After
wearing for only minutes there is an increase in temperature
due to the increased blood flow, resulting in improved com-
fort and reduced swelling. Twenty minutes after using the
anion-fiber infused socks, patient has better blood flow and
less numbness.

John Travolta movie to
begin filming in Cleveland
CLEVELAND (AP)
Movie crews are returning to
Cleveland this summer.
Filming for the new movie
Criminal Activities starring
John Travolta will start today.
The Northeast Ohio Media
Group (http://bit.ly/1r6e4bo )
reports filming will require
a number of road closures
around the city through the
end of June.
But the people behind
the film promise no road is
scheduled to be closed for
more than about eight hours.
Thats welcome news
for commuters who com-
plained about gridlock last
summer during the filming
of Captain America: The
Winter Soldier.
The two-week shutdown
of a busy route led to blocked
intersections, delays and
angry motorists.
Several other movies have
been filmed in Cleveland
over the last few years. They
include Draft Day with
Kevin Costner and Jennys
Wedding starring Katherine
Heigl.
X-Men dominates holiday
box office with $91M
BY JESSICA HERNDON
Associated Press
LOS ANGELES A team of mutants
overpowered one massive mutant monster at
the box office during the Memorial Day holi-
day.
Fox-Marvels X-Men: Days of Future
Past debuted with $91 million beating last
weekends No. 1 hit, the Warner Bros. sci-fi
adventure Godzilla, which earned $31.4 mil-
lion in its second weekend, according to studio
estimates Sunday.
Days of Future Past is estimated to earn
nearly $110 million over the four-day extend-
ed holiday weekend, which would make it
the fifth-highest Memorial Day opener just
after last years $117 million-grossing Fast
& Furious 6. Pirates of the Caribbean: At
Worlds End holds as the highest Memorial
holiday debut ever with $140 million in 2007.
It appears the attention Days of Future
Past director Bryan Singer has received lately
due a sexual assault lawsuit didnt deter fans
from flocking to the theater. The director
dropped out of doing any press for the film fol-
lowing the allegations because he didnt want
to divert attention from the movie.
Rarely do outside situations impact the box
office, said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media
analyst for box-office tracker Rentrak. The
true fans, all they care about is the movie.
Days of Future Past is the second-highest
opener in the X-Men franchise after Brett
Ratners X-Men: The Last Stand debuted
over Memorial Day weekend with $123 mil-
lion in 2006.
The film brings together a massive star-
studded cast including Hugh Jackman, Jennifer
Lawrence, Halle Berry, Michael Fassbender,
James McAvoy, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen,
Peter Dinklage and Ellen Page.
Globally, Days of Future Past opened
No. 1 in 119 countries with $262 million, the
highest grossing opening weekend worldwide
of the X-Men franchise and the biggest Fox
International opening weekend ever.
This is a franchise that started back in
2000, which predated the first Spider-Man
movie by two years so X-Men started the
renaissance in the world of big superhero mov-
ies, Dergarabedian said.

The Allen County Museum installed an
exhibit on the Lima Locomotive Works in the
Governor Thomas Worthington Center Gallery
of the Statehouse in Columbus this week. The
new Worthington Gallery, which was completed
in 2013, has been slated to feature exhibits from
counties throughout the state. Allen County is
the third county to be featured after Hancock
and Wood.
Museum Director Patricia Smith said she
was contacted last fall by the Deputy Director
of Museum and Education for the Capitol
Square Review and Advisory Board of the
Ohio Statehouse. Coming up with a theme
representing Allen County was difficult since
the entire exhibit was confined to two display
cases measuring 28 wide by 55 tall, Smith
stated.
The Lima Locomotive Works was selected
based on its historical significance as the third
largest manufacturer of steam locomotives in
the U.S. Allen County Historical Society Board
trustee Neil Winget was happy to loan two
O-gauge models of Lima built engines: Nickel
Plate 779, which was the last steam locomo-
tive produced at the LLW and is on display at
Lincoln Park; and the Southern Pacific Daylight
4449, best known for its bright orange and red
paint scheme. A large model of an M4 Sherman
Tank was also selected for inclusion since the
Loco Works produced more than 1,500 Sherman
tanks during World War II. The exhibit also
includes a locomotive builders plate, a paint-
ing of a Shay locomotive by Winget, and photo
reproductions from the Loco Works.
The exhibit will be in place through Nov.
30. The Governor Thomas Worthington Center
Gallery is on the lower level of the Statehouse,
1 Capitol Square, Columbus. The Allen County
Historical Societys Sherman Tank will partici-
pate in the Columbus Veterans Day Parade on
Nov. 7.
For more information, contact Patricia Smith
at the Allen County Museum, 419-222-9426.

Grove girls head to Tiffin Regional off District title
BY CHARLIE WARNIMONT
dhi Media Correspondent
news@delphosherald.com
FINDLAY At this point of the track season, winning team
championships is secondary to advancing athletes.
If a team wins a championship, it can mean youve had a
pretty good meet. That was the case for the Columbus Grove
girls track Thursday and Saturday at the Liberty-Benton
Division III district meet.
The Lady Bulldogs qualified in 10 events to the regional
meet and won a district championship to cap off a solid meet.
Columbus Grove outscored Putnam County League rival
Pandora-Gilboa 103-90 for the win.
While the Lady Bulldogs advanced in 10 events, the boys
team moved on in six events to the regionals. As a team, the
Bulldogs finished third with 87 points behind Liberty-
Benton (109) and Bluffton (101).
The Division III regional meet will be held in Tiffin
at Frost-Kalnow Stadium Wednesday and Friday start-
ing at 4 p.m. each day.
This is a lot different than a conference or league
meet, Lady Bulldog coach Tim Staley said. You still take a
peek at whether or not you can win the team title but you are
trying to advance girls on. We put some girls in some events
that they probably wont run next week but they did a nice
job today.
The Lady Bulldogs accomplishments at Liberty-Benton
were led by senior Julia Wynn and junior Sydney McCluer
as each girl advanced to the regional in four events. McCluer
had a solid day with three wins and a third-place finish for the
Bulldogs.
McCluer won the 100 hurdles in 16.17, the 300 hurdles
in 47.23 and joined Raiya Flores, Julia Wynn and Linnea
Stephens to win the 400 relay in 50.72. In the 1,600 relay,
McCluer, Kristin Wynn, Stephens and Julia Wynn finished
third in 4:09.66.
Its pretty rough moving on in four events, McCluer said.
I was able to win my two hurdle races and the 400 relay but
we were sitting fifth in the 1,600 relay and we needed to run
our PR (personal record) by two seconds to finish in the top
four and we were able to do that. Now my attention turns to
the regional, getting into the finals and see what happens there.
Im trying not to look ahead but stayed focused and concen-
trate on getting into the top four.
Julia Wynn helped anchor the 800 relay team to a win in
1:47.06. She was joined by Raiya Flores, Kristin Wynn and
Stephens in winning the event. Wynn finished third in the 200
in 26.94 and Flores was third in the 100 in 13.09.
In the field events, Megan Verhoff overcame the disap-
pointment of the past two weeks to win the discus with a
throw of 125-10. Lynea Diller won the shot put with a toss
of 38-7 and Aubrey Fruchey was second with a throw
of 37-0 3/4. Alexis Ricker was fourth in the high jump
clearing 4-10.
You have to hand it to the girls, Staley said. They
have stepped up at the end of the season. We have a lot
of young girls out here and although all of them didnt
advance we had a lot of PRs today. We have our Julia Wynns
and Sydney McCluers and Megan Verhoff in the discus, the
girls you count on, but to step in and keep the tradition going
thats where your program is built right there.
On the boys side, the distance events stood out for
the Bulldogs as they recorded three wins and a second
place.
Columbus Grove opened the meet Thursday by winning the
3,200 relay in 8:23.95 with the team of Alex Giesige, Colton
Grothaus, Lee Altenburger and Bryce Sharrits. On Saturday,
Grothaus followed with a win in the 1600 in 4:40.05 and
Altenburger was fourth in 4:43.08.

District Track
and Field Results
Tri-County track athletes ready for Regionals
By JIM METCALFE
dhi MEDIA Sports Editor
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com
SPENCERVILLE A boatload
of Tri-County track and field athletes
did what they intended to do in the
Spencerville Districts last weekend:
finish in the top four of their respec-
tive events and move on to the Troy
Regionals.
Now, those athletes are getting
ready to see if they can make one
more step toward their goal starting
4 p.m. Wednesday with a total of
seven finals that night and the rest run-
ning preliminaries earn their way
to the Division III State Track and
Field Championships at venerable Jesse
Owens Memorial Stadium in Columbus
next weekend.
Several will go into Troy as champi-
ons from Districts Spencerville senior
Anthony Schuh, who won both the boys
110- and 300-meter hurdles, and junior
Katie Merriman in the girls pole vault;
Ottoville senior Taylor Mangas in the
100-meter girls hurdles; Lincolnview
junior Bayley Tow in the boys 1,600-
meter run; and Crestview junior Mycah
Grandstaff (3,200-meter run).
Schuh was a State qualifier in the
110s last spring.
That has been my goal all season;
get back to State in the 110s. Im grate-
ful for another week to compete in the
hurdles and try to achieve my goal,
Schuh said. Coming back later in the
300s, I didnt feel any pressure. I had
already clinched in my best event, so I
just went out and raced in the 300s.
In second was St. Johns junior
Tyler Conley, who broke the stadium
record in the 400-meter dash, and senior
teammates Megan Joseph (1,600) and
Maddie Burgei (100); the Jefferson 4x2
relay of sophomores Taylor Stroh and
Brooke Gallmeier and seniors Rileigh
Stockwell and Brooke Teman; Ottoville
freshman Alicia Honigford in the 100
hurdles and teaming with Mangas,
Brooke Mangas and Karin Wendeberg
(4x1); Spencerville sophomore Evan
Pugh in the discus; Lincolnview junior
Hunter Blankemeyer in the 110s; and
several Crestview athletes senior
Grace Callow (400-meter girls dash),
sophomore Isaiah Kline (400-meter boys
dash) and the boys relays of Malcolm
Oliver, Zack Jellison, Kline and Sage
Schaffner (4x100) and Jellison, Kline,
Michael Hansard and Alex Cunningham
(4x400).
Jefferson sophomore Brooke Gallmeier hands off to senior Rileigh
Stockwell in the 4x200-meter relay nals Saturday at Spencerville.
The Wildcats along with sophomore Taylor Stroh and senior Brooke
Teman clinched second in the race to earn the right to head to Troy.
Their 4x4 of Stockwell, Gallmeier, Teman and Kenidi Ulm was fourth to
also advance. (dhi MEDIA/Jim Metcalfe)
Hunter-Reay proud to be IndyCars American star
Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS Ryan Hunter-
Reay was deeply disappointed when his
2012 championship was overshadowed
by IndyCar politics. His breakthrough
moment was largely ignored by the
league as it fought with yet another
CEO.
It was a lost opportunity for a series
starving for an American star, a role
Hunter-Reay has desperately wanted to
fill. He would knock on doors, shake
hands and kiss babies if IndyCar asked,
but no one ever did.
Now hes an Indianapolis 500 win-
ner, just the sixth American driver in
20 years to claim that title. When Tony
George created IndyCar in 1996, he said
it was a series that would give American
drivers a chance to succeed. But Hunter-
Reay is just the fourth American to win
at Indianapolis Motor Speedway since
George launched his league and hes the
first red-, white- and blue-draped driver
to win since 2006.
So maybe this win, the biggest by far
of his career, will be the boost Hunter-
Reay needs to raise his profile and that
of the series he loves.
Im real. Im genuine.
Theres not a whole lot theat-
rics about me, Hunter-Reay said
Monday, a day after he nipped
Helio Castroneves at the line to
win Indy. Im not going to put
on a whole big show and jump
through hoops. Im going to be
me and I am thrilled to be here.
Im a hard-charging American
and Ive had to fight every step of
my career for this ride.
That was the story that should
have been told in 2012, when Hunter-
Reay, who had been out of work six
years earlier, reeled off three consecu-
tive wins to climb into the championship
race. Then, facing elimination, he won
again to send his title fight with Will
Power into the finale, where Hunter-
Reay walked away with his first cham-
pionship.
It was a career year and came a
season after one of the lowest points of
his career: He failed to qualify for the
2011 Indianapolis 500 and
Andretti Autosport had to
buy a seat from A.J. Foyt
to get Hunter-Reay into
the race.
But IndyCar manage-
ment was too busy plan-
ning the ouster of CEO
Randy Bernard to focus
on Hunter-Reay; when
Bernard was cut loose a
month after the champion-
ship, the driver was com-
pletely forgotten.
Yeah, I was overlooked in 2012. The
series wanted an American champion
and we had one, he said. Randy was
moving out and the search for a new
CEO was on and I dont really think
thats big news or anything, but it defi-
nitely took precedence.
St. Johns senior Megan Joseph nears the nish line
of the girls 1,600-meter run in which she clinched
second. (dhi MEDIA/Jim Metcalfe)

It kind of helped that Tow had
withdrawn in the 800. He looked pretty
tired after the 1,600 earlier, Conley
explained. We were in the first lane and
without him, I could start on the inside.
In the last race the 4x4 we ended
up fourth. At this point, it doesnt matter
except you advance.
That was the sentiment for Joseph.
I didnt want this to be my last race
and my goal was top four. Everyone
was chasing the New Knoxville girl
(Cassie Boyle) but she set such a fast
pace, Joseph explained. I know shes
faster than me but the goal is to keep an
eye on her jersey; she pushes me. Once
I hit that third lap, then I stepped it up
and pulled away from the Minster girl
(Niekamp).
Burgei later got a wish to go to
Regionals as part of the Lady Jay 4x1
that finished fourth.
The 100s are a good warmup for me
for the relay. I felt tight before the 100
but with the almost-perfect weather, its
easier to warm up and stay warm, she
observed. Its always nice to go as an
individual but its better when you go
as a relay.
The Lady Jeffcats also got that wish.
We knew it would be really close
in the 4x2. We felt really fast and really
fresh today, Stockwell began. Minster
is such a good team that you know they
are going to be tough to beat but they
push you to get better, too.
Rileigh and I came in fresher today
and that helped a lot, Teman chimed
in. We just ran as hard as we could and
everything clicked well, from the hand-
offs to everything.
Honigford eventually made it in three
events as part of an acclaimed Ottoville
freshmen class.
We have that goal of getting all
of us to State as a team sometime in
high school, Honigford explained. We
made it to State in junior high and it just
motivated us it does in every sport
but now its track. We push each other in
a friendly yet competitive way.
Pugh didnt have his best day but it
was enough.
The winner from Minster (Wes
Hegemann) threw a 154-11 and he defi-
nitely set the pace, Pugh said. I knew
today it was going to be tough to beat
him but Ive been chasing him all year.
Ive generally been closer than today
(133-6) but I know I can get better
because Ive done it. I just havent got-
ten there yet.
Clinching third last weekend were
Ottovilles Honigford (long jump),
the Lady Greens 4x4 of T. Mangas,
B. Mangas, Wendeberg and freshman
Madison Knodell and Colin Bendele
(discus); Blankemeyer (300s) and as
part of the 4x1 with senior Michael
Garay, Logan Jewel and Damon Norton;
Fort Jennings senior Emily Grone in the
100 hurdles; Spencerville senior Trevor
McMichael in the high jump and junior
Schylar Miller (pole vault) - the latter
teamed with Jenna Kahle, Emilee Meyer
and Karri Purdy in the 4x1.
I just tried to relax today. I was
warming up in the 140s, so I felt strong,
Bendele said. Its kind of interesting;
were all competitive but weve become
friends. We cheer for each other and yet
we want to do well.
I just wanted to be focused today
and run my best, Grone noted. I need-
ed to have my 3-step approach down pat
to advance because I had the worst time
coming into the finals. I wanted to get to
Regionals this year to honor the girls we
lost last year to graduation.
Miller didnt get her PR of 10-4 but
her 10-footer was enough.
Last year, I was eighth at State in
the pole vault, she observed. With the
way its looking throughout the state, I
might need to clear 10-6 to get to State
this year; I made it last year at 10-0, so
I know Ive got to get work on a bigger
pole this week. Thats all about a com-
fort level and confidence.
In fourth were the Lady Blue Jay
4x1 of Burgei, Madelyn Buettner, Halie
Benavidez and Samantha Bonifas, with
Bonifas also in the 300s; the Blue Jay
boys 4x4 of Conley, Brian Pohlman, Tyler
Ledyard and Curtis Pohlman and its 4x1
of B. Pohlman, Nick Martz, Quinn Wise
and Luke MacLennan; the Lady Jeffcat
4x4 of Stockwell, Gallmeier, Teman
and Kenidi Ulm; Garay in the 100 dash;
Tow in the 3,200; Fort Jennings senior
Garrett Berelsman in the high jump;
three Bearcats Logan Vandemark in
the discus, Tori Hardesty (1,600) and
Cierra Adams (3,200); and Crestviews
Callow in both the 100 and 200, Jellison
in the boys 200 and its 4x2 of Hansard,
Kline, Oliver and Jellison.
I also felt a little tight today. I usu-
ally have the 100s to warm up but not
today, Bonifas added. We were really
nervous. All we could do was push hard
and finish well.
Thats all their boys counterparts
were shooting for.
We didnt run our best today but
all we were looking for was getting
to Regionals, MacLennan explained.
Weve got some things to finetune and
we know we havent peaked yet. That
may be the best thing about this spring;
you had no chance to peak early.
We really did well as a team today
for the boys. We had the ones do well that
we thought would: Bayley in the 1,600
and 3,200, Hunter in the hurdles and the
4x8 the other night, Lincolnview coach
Matt Langdon noted. I was pleasantly
surprised by Michael in the 100 in
qualifying, as well as the 4x1. Logan
Jewel and Damon Norton havent had
the chance to get to Regionals before, so
that was good for them.
Hannah McCleery jumped 5-1 in
the girls high jump Thursday and made
it. We expected that. Our track record in
the past is that we do well at this time
of year; we work the kids hard and they
trust their training. They are confident
going into Regionals and I think we
have a good chance to get a few down
to State.

Results
Altenburger later won the
3200 in 10:18.6 and Grothaus
was fourth in 10:34.81.
Sharrits was second in the
800 in 1:58.65 and Giesige
was fourth in 2:01.59.
Columbus Groves 800
relay team of Joey Warnecke,
David Bogart, Austin Price
and Baily Clement were
fourth in 1:33.70. Clement,
Bogart, Giesige and Sharrits
were fourth in the 1,600 relay
in 3:30.61.
It went pretty much as
expected, Bulldog coach
Chris Grothaus said. Theres
always a few you wish would
have gotten out and got that
regional experience but we
were happy with what hap-
pened. Overall on the track, I
thought we were pretty good.
We didnt get any field events
out but it would have been
nice for them to experience
the regionals.
I felt my 800 guys per-
formed really well and the
1600 relay kind of caught me
off guard. Those 800 kids ran
that race so hard, that they
were face down in the grass.
I didnt know if they were
going to have anything left
but they gave a very gutsy
performance today. We knew
our strengths coming into the
season, our intermediates,
our 800s and our distance
guys and they had a great
meet.
Grove
This win, I hope it does breakthrough. Ill be a great and hon-
est champion. Ill fly the flag for our sport and youll always get
the real deal with me.
A casting director could not have chosen a more perfect fit
for the role with IndyCar. Hunter-Reay and wife Beccy Gordon,
younger sister of American stalwart driver Robby Gordon, could
be mistaken for Ken and Barbie. Their towheaded toddler Ryden,
wearing a miniature firesuit to match his fathers, has been the
star of the victory celebrations. He looked on quizzically while
his parents kissed the bricks after the win, then ran up and down
the race track toy cars in hand Monday as his father posed
for photos.
When he needed to be entertained, Ryden played with the
faces on the Borg-Warner trophy.
One of the perks the Hunter-Reays will receive for his victory
is a replica of the pace car, a black 2014 Chevrolet Camaro Z28.
Hunter-Reays first car? A black Camaro, of course.
Im really looking forward to getting that back home. Its a
car that Ill definitely use that thing sounded mean, he said.
Thats the great thing about this race. You win the race and then
you start thinking about all the things that come with it. I get my
face on the trophy. And the pace car and the check that comes
with it. I was presented with an Indianapolis 500 1911 pistol.
How cool is that? How American is that?
And I got a huge belt buckle, so I need a holster with my belt
buckle and Ill be strutting around the garages with that.
Hunter-Reay is game for playing the role IndyCar wants and
needs. He draped himself in the American flag, noted the signifi-
cance of winning on Memorial Day weekend, and spoke repeat-
edly about his national pride.
What he failed to mention is that Sundays victory moved him
to the top of the IndyCar points standings. And he didnt brag
about one of his daredevil passes for the lead, the one in which
he nearly drove into the grass.
The irony, of course, is that just a month ago Hunter-Reay was
criticized for an aggressive move at Long Beach that backfired
and wrecked several race cars.
If Hunter-Reay has his way, those moves will work every time
and his legacy as a tough, hard, American racer will be cemented.
I am aggressive and will always go for it. When I was
growing up, I really loved the drivers that were like that, he
added. Im married to Beccy, I was a big fan of Robby. He
was always the guy that you wanted to watch. He was coming
through, one way or the other. He might not finish but hes
coming through.

Womans HIV status
casts shadow on
budding romance
DEAR ABBY: Im
a 32-year-old woman
who is HIV-positive.
My colleague -- who
is unaware of my
status -- recently
introduced me to a
relative of hers who
is also lonely and
looking for someone
to settle down with.
We clicked and
seem to complement
each other in every
way, although we
havent had any
sexual encounter.
My fear is, how
do I disclose my
status without being
rejected? He seems to
have big plans for us,
which include settling
down and having kids
in the future. I am
also worried that he
might be angry with
my colleague and
not believe that she is
unaware of my status.
Please help me get out
of this dilemma. -- IN
A SPOT IN SOUTH
AFRICA
DEAR IN A
SPOT: Ill try,
but there are no
guarantees. Much
depends upon the
strength of this mans
feelings for you. It is
very important that
you have a frank
discussion with him
before the relationship
goes any further.
The fact that you
are HIV-positive
may be problematic,
but it does not mean
you cannot have
a family together
if you wish in the
future. Medications
and other medical
interventions can help
keep the virus from
being transmitted to
your children, and
condoms can protect
your partner.
If you are upfront
about your status, the
chances are better that
he will believe you
when you tell him
his relative was not
aware that you have
HIV when you were
introduced. In a case
like this, honesty is
the best policy.
DEAR ABBY: I
have three grown sons,
all educated, married
and successful.
Their wives are the
daughters I never had,
and I treasure them
and their children.
Im blessed with three
perfect grandchildren
under the age of 5.
The problem is
my sons. Although I
raised them carefully
with love, they are
like teenagers. They
constantly denigrate
and fight with each
other, and measure
my time with them on
a competitive scale.
I no longer want to
be involved with
their bickering. Their
dad, from whom I
am separated, is not
involved.
This has created
a sad cloud in my
otherwise sunny life.
I need some advice. --
TIED IN KNOTS IN
INDIANAPOLIS
DEAR TIED IN
KNOTS: Have you
told your sons how
uncomfortable their
sibling quibbling
makes you? If you
havent, you should.
And if that doesnt
improve the situation,
I suggest you see them
separately. And if that
causes problems,
please dont make it
YOUR problem.
DEAR ABBY:
Over the past 10 years
or so, I have noticed a
vast increase in people
who talk while they
are yawning. These
yawn-talkers are
not only rude, but also
almost impossible
to understand. I
wouldnt normally
care, except that a lot
of people do it where
I work.
Is it OK to tell them
to stop yawn-talking?
Or would I be the rude
one in the scenario?
-- WIDE AWAKE IN
PENNSYLVANIA
DEAR WIDE
AWAKE: It wouldnt
be rude to ask
someone to repeat
the statement because
you were unable to
understand what the
person was trying to
say. And, by the way,
polite folks cover
their mouths when
they yawn to avoid
spraying saliva on
the person in front of
them.

Dear Abby
Ask Mr.
Know-it-All
Salting
peanuts easier
than you think
Q: How do they get
salt inside the shell
of peanuts? -- B.W.,
Ballplay, Ala.
A: Ah, one of the
great culinary mysteries
-- though it doesnt quite
rival Which came first,
the chicken or the egg?
Im afraid you might
be disappointed; there
is nothing magical or
high-tech about the
salting process. Peanuts
are soaked in brine
(a mixture of salt and
water) and then roasted
dry. The result is salted
peanuts in the shell.
Q: There is a
poem that starts out,
Whenever you go out-
of-doors, draw in the
chin, carry the crown of
your head high and fill
the lungs to the utmost
... Who wrote it? Will
you please print it? --
D.R.N., Torrance, Calif.
A: The sentiment
was written by Elbert
Hubbard (1856-1915).
Hubbard was a writer,
publisher, artist and
philosopher. His best-
known work is his
inspirational essay A
Message to Garcia. The
quote you ask about is
in Dale Carnegies book
How to Win Friends
and Influence People.
It reads, in part:
Good health! When-
ever you go out of doors,
draw in the chin, carry
the crown of your head
high, and fill the lungs
to the utmost; drink in
the sunshine; greet your
friends with a smile,
and put soul into every
hand-clasp. Do not fear
being misunderstood
and never waste a
minute thinking about
your enemies.

Believe in yourself.
Giving in to self-doubt will
frustrate you and delay your
progress. Your goals may seem
unattainable at the moment, but
as the year unfolds, you will
fnd a way to accomplish them
and more.
GEMINI (May 21-June
20) -- You may be missing some
key information. Appearances
can be deceiving. Refrain from
making an important decision
until you have all the relevant
details.
CANCER (June 21-July
22) -- Gain some insight about
who you and your associates
are. Start a dialogue about
your past, and urge others to
share theirs as well. You could
also learn something quite
interesting.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) --
Finding the right balance can be
diffcult. Look for the best way
to manage your time effectively
so you dont fall behind. Being
too proud to ask for help will be
your downfall.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
-- Someone you care deeply
about needs attention. Make
an effort to show gratitude
and affection. Planning a
short vacation or improving
your living quarters should be
considered.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct.
23) -- If something has been
bothering you, take action. Get
professional advice or consider
taking a break from whatever is
causing you stress.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
22) -- Its time to move forward
in your personal life. Face up
to emotional issues and decide
what is right for you. Reconnect
with an old friend and start
over.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov.
23-Dec. 21) -- Check out an
opportunity to advance from
your current position. Even if it
offers less in the initial stages,
youll move ahead in the long
run.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-
Jan. 19) -- A lot of favorable
attention will come your way
today. Your talent and charm
are a winning combination.
A decision that youve been
avoiding can be dealt with
now.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
19) -- You will need to make
an extra effort to get along with
others today. Use tact and show
patience with someone close
who is feeling sensitive and
insecure.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March
20) -- Get together with
someone you love for an
enjoyable outing. Be honest
about the way you feel. Open
communication will help
smooth any diffculties you
have with someone.
ARIES (March 21-April
19) -- Work changes are
imminent. This is a good
time to go for interviews,
or to pursue a more lucrative
position. You may also
consider starting your own
business. Be prepared to make
some cash.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20) -- You may be caught in
an emotional whirlwind. If you
fnd matters too confusing at
the moment, back away from
the situation temporarily to
give yourself time to sort out
your feelings.

US plants prepare
long-term nuclear
waste storage
WATERFORD, Conn. (AP)
Nuclear power plants across
the United States are building
or expanding storage facilities
to hold their spent fuel radio-
active waste that by now was
supposed to be on its way to a
national dump.
The steel and concrete con-
tainers used to store the waste
on-site were envisioned as only
a short-term solution when intro-
duced in the 1980s. Now they are
the subject of reviews by indus-
try and government to determine
how they might hold up if
needed for decades or longer.
With nowhere else to put
its nuclear waste, the Millstone
Power Station overlooking Long
Island Sound is sealing it up in
massive steel canisters on what
used to be a parking lot. The
storage pad, first built in 2005,
was recently expanded to make
room for seven times as many
canisters filled with spent fuel.
Dan Steward, the first
selectman in Waterford, which
hosts Millstone, said he raises
the issue every chance he can
with Connecticuts congres-
sional members.
We do not want to become
a nuclear waste site as a com-
munity, Steward said.
The government is pursuing a
new plan for nuclear waste stor-
age, hoping to break an impasse
left by the collapse of a proposal
for Nevadas Yucca Mountain.
The Energy Department says it
expects other states will com-
pete for a repository, and the
accompanying economic ben-
efits, and its already heard from
potential hosts in New Mexico,
Texas and Mississippi. But the
plan faces hurdles including a
need for new legislation that has
stalled in Congress.
Nigerian defense chief says abducted girls located
ABUJA, Nigeria (AP) Nigerias
military has located nearly 300 school
girls abducted by Islamic extremists but
fears using force to try to free them could
get them killed, the countrys chief of
defense said Monday.
Air Marshal Alex Badeh told demon-
strators supporting the much criticized
military that Nigerian troops can save the
girls. But he added, we cant go and kill
our girls in the name of trying to get them
back.
He spoke to thousands of demonstra-
tors who marched to Defense Ministry
headquarters in Abuja, the capital. Many
were brought in on buses, indicating it was
an organized event.
Asked by reporters where they had
found the girls, Badeh refused to elabo-
rate.
We want our girls back. I can tell
you we can do it. Our military can do it.
But where they are held, can we go with
force? he asked the crowd.
People roared back, No!
If we go with force what will hap-
pen? he asked.
They will die, the demonstrators
responded.
That appeared to leave negotiation the
sole option, but a human rights activist
close to negotiators said a deal to swap the
girls for detained Boko Haram members
was agreed last week and then scuttled
at the last minute by President Goodluck
Jonathan.
The activist who is close to those medi-
ating between Boko Haram extremists and
government officials said the girls would
have been freed last week Monday.
Jonathan had already told British
officials that he would not consider an
exchange. The source spoke on condition
of anonymity because of the sensitivity of
the issue.
Nigerias military and government
have faced national and international
outrage over their failure to rescue the
girls seized by Boko Haram militants
from a remote northeastern school six
weeks ago.
Kids, parents are embracing
the walking school bus
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) As a group of children walked
home together from school in Providence, they held hands and
played the I Spy guessing game. When they reached a busy
intersection, an adult accompanying them prodded, Whats
the rule?
Behind the line! they said in unison, as they stepped back
from the edge of the curb and waited for the walk signal.
Shortly after, the group stopped in front of 8-year-old Jaiden
Guzmans house. He said goodbye to his friends and raced to
his front door. His mother waved and the rest of the walking
school bus continued on its way.
For a growing number of children in Rhode Island, Iowa
and other states, the school day starts and ends in the same
way they walk with their classmates and an adult volunteer
to and from school. Walking school buses are catching on in
school districts nationwide because they are seen as a way to
fight childhood obesity, improve attendance rates and ensure
that kids get to school safely.
Ten-year-old Rosanyily Laurenz signed up for the
Providence walking school bus this school year. Before, she
said, she was sometimes late to school when her grandmother
didnt feel well enough to walk with her.
But now, I get to walk with my friends, Rosanyily said.
Plus, I get snacks.
Many programs across the country are funded by the federal
Safe Routes to School program, which pays for infrastructure
improvements and initiatives to enable children to walk and
bike to school.
Robert Johnson, of the Missouri-based PedNet Coalition, a
nonprofit that advocates for transit alternatives, said the suc-
cess of the programs reflects a growing interest in getting kids
more active.
Every parent is looking for ways to make their child a little
healthier, and walking to school is one, he said.
In 2012, about 30 percent of students living within a mile
of school walked there in the morning and 35 percent walked
home in the afternoon, according to the National Center for
Safe Routes to School. Those numbers have increased by about
6 percentage points since 2007.
Organizers in Providence are also motivated by high rates
of chronic absenteeism. Thirty-seven percent of Providence
students missed 10 percent or more of the 2010-11 school year.
Experts: Mass murderers
are hard to predict
ALICIA CHANG
Associated Press
GOLETA, Calif.
Colorado movie theater shoot-
er James Holmes. Sandy Hook
school attacker Adam Lanza.
And now Elliot Rodger.
All were young loners with
no criminal history who went
on shooting sprees, leaving
devastated families in their
wake.
Mass murderers tend to
have a history of pent-up frus-
tration and failures, are socially
isolated and vengeful, blaming
others for their unhappiness,
experts say.
They all display delud-
ed thinking and a lot of rage
about feeling so marginalized,
James Garbarino, a profes-
sor of psychology at Loyola
University Chicago, said in an
email.
Since mass killings are
extremely rare, scholars say
theres no way to predict who
has deadly intentions, let alone
who will reach a breaking point
and take action.
Past violence is a clue, but
in Rodgers case, police did not
see him as a threat to himself or
others during a welfare check
weeks before Friday nights
rampage near the University
of California, Santa Barbara
that left six victims dead and
13 injured.
Rodger died of an apparent
self-inflicted gunshot wound
to the head after a shootout
with deputies, ending a night
of terror in this tight-knit sea-
side campus community as the
semester drew to a close.
Pinpointing a mass killer is
not an exact science. We dont
have a foolproof way of pre-
dicting who will turn violent,
said Risdon Slate, a profes-
sor of criminology at Florida
Southern College.
Before Rodger stabbed
three male UCSB students
in his apartment and cruised
around in his black BMW fir-
ing at sorority girls and strang-
ers, he left a trail of YouTube
videos and a 140-page mani-
festo ranting against women
and couples and lamenting his
lack of a sex life.
In his postings, Rodger, a
22-year-old community college
student and son of a Hollywood
director, said he was a lonely
and frustrated virgin.
Im sexually attracted to
girls. But girls are not sexually
attracted to me. And theres a
major problem with that a
major problem. Thats a prob-
lem that I intend to rectify. I
in all my magnificence and
power, I will not let this fly.
Its an injustice that needs to be
dealt with, Rodger said in one
of the videos.
Recent mass shootings
involved young men described
as loners who had trouble fit-
ting in.
In July 2012, 24-year-old
Holmes opened fire at a mid-
night screening of a Batman
film, killing a dozen moviego-
ers. Five months later, 20-year-
old Lanza shot 20 first-graders
and six educators at Sandy
Hook Elementary School in
Connecticut.
Pope to meet sex abuse victims at Vatican
ABOARD THE PAPAL PLANE (AP) Pope Francis
announced Monday he would meet soon with a group of sex
abuse victims at the Vatican and declared zero tolerance for
any member of the clergy who would violate a child.
Francis also revealed that three bishops are currently under
investigation by the Vatican for abuse-related reasons, though
it wasnt clear if they were accused of committing abuse itself
or of having covered it up.
There are no privileges, he told reporters en route back to
Rome from Jerusalem.
The meeting with a half-dozen victims will mark the first
such encounter for the pope, who has been criticized by vic-
tims for not expressing personal solidarity with them when he
has reached out to other people who suffer.
Francis said the meeting and a Mass at the Vatican hotel where
he lives would take place early next month. A statement from the
office of Boston Cardinal Sean OMalley, who is organizing the
encounter, said the date and details hadnt been finalized but that
the meeting was expected to take place in the coming months.
On this issue we must go forward, forward. Zero toler-
ance, Francis said, calling abuse of children an ugly crime
that betrays God.
The executive director of the main U.S. victims group,
Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests, or SNAP,
dismissed the meeting as just utterly, utterly meaningless.
The simple truth is this is another gesture, another public
relations coup, another nice bit of symbolism that will leave
no child better off and bring no real reform to a continu-
ing, scandal-ridden church hierarchy, said SNAP Executive
Director David Clohessy.
Clohessy said the pope has shown himself capable of
making real change in other areas such as church governance
and finance but hasnt done so in dealing with sex abuse by
Catholic clergy.
But a U.S. attorney who represents clergy abuse victims
hoped the meeting would be substantive and meaning-
ful rather than for cosmetic purposes. Attorney Mitchell
Garabedian said meeting directly with victims is the most
powerful tool that the pope can use in understanding the ugli-
ness and horror of clergy sexual abuse and why it must be
stopped or prevented. He added that there should be more
than one such meeting.
At Arlington, Obama was joined by first
lady Michelle Obama and Vice President Joe
Biden and his wife, Jill, at the solemn cer-
emony across the Potomac River from White
House on the hallowed grounds of Arlington
National Cemetery in Virginia. The remem-
brance was for the war heroes of yesteryear
as well as servicemen and women stationed
around the world. It was carried out in idyllic
weather under cloudless skies and a brilliant
sunshine. The national observance was to be
matched by parades, picnics and speeches
across the country.
Obama appeared at the cemeterys amphi-
theater to speak after carrying out the tradi-
tional presidential wreath-laying, surrounded
there by troops in formal dress and hearing
the playing of Taps.
Preceding Obama to the microphone,
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, himself a
military veteran, noted this years remem-
brance came with the approaching 70th
anniversary of Americas D-Day landing
in Normandy, France. And Gen. Martin
Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, said Americas sons and daughters
are still out there today on the frontiers of
our common defense.
Governors in California,
Rhode Island, and
Washington all strongly
supported the health care
law. Their outreach cam-
paigns to promote sign-ups
overall probably contribut-
ed to drawing out uninsured
residents who already were
entitled to Medicaid.
But researchers also are
seeing increased Medicaid
enrollment in states that
have resisted the health
care law.
A recent report from
the market research firm
Avalere Health found
Georgi a enrol l ment
increased by nearly 6 per-
cent. Montana saw a 10 per-
cent rise and South Carolina
5 percent. A big exception
is Texas, which has barely
seen any increase.
Anyone who didnt
budget for this is going to
be behind the eight ball,
said Avalere CEO Dan
Mendelson. Its the kind
of thing governors will
want to discuss with the
White House.
When the health care
law was being debated
in Congress, many states
recognized they might
face a problem if droves
of already-eligible people
joined Medicaid. States
lobbied federal lawmak-
ers unsuccessfully to
get more money for that
group, said Ray Scheppach,
the former top staffer for
the National Governors
Association.
States are concerned
about this, he said.
Its something they had
been worried about right
along.

Number nerds, bookworms
converge at Spelling Bee
HERNDON, Va. (AP) Ask Jae Canetti to
recite pi, and the numbers come out like a blur.
Just when it sounds as if hes about to stop, he
takes a deep breath and continues. On and on.
Until hes reached the 131st digit.
Its really nothing more than a stress-relief
tactic, the 12-year-old said after he was finally
done. Sometimes, if Im stressed, Ill just
memorize five digits or something like that.
Some kids bite their nails. Jae learns pi.
This week, he will stand before a national
audience and recite letters, not numbers. The
sixth-grader from Reston, Virginia, will be one
of the favorites when the three-day competition
begins today at the Scripps National Spelling
Bee, having qualified for the third time for
Americas favorite competitive gathering of
bright, way-off-the-charts youngsters.
Math might seem out of place at such an
event. Smart people, at least according to con-
ventional wisdom, are supposed either book-
worms or number nerds. Not both.
But Jae and plenty of other spellers defy
that convention. Second-time Bee participant
Brian Reinhart, a 14-year-old from Palm Beach
Gardens, Florida, has already completed the
math curriculum at Florida Atlantic University.
And, of course, there was 2007 national Bee
champion Evan ODorney, who had barely
finished hoisting the trophy when he stated a
preference for math and music, declaring that
spelling is just a bunch of memorization.
So do spelling and math go hand-in-hand?
For some, the answer is yes.
A lot of these competitors use roots Greek
roots, Latin roots, German roots, Scandinavian
roots, whatever they might be to figure out
how to spell a word, Brian said. Thats really
just finding patterns. And thats all that math is,
is finding patterns, and using those patterns to
solve problems.
That was more or less the thought pro-
cess for another of this years favorites, Vanya
Shivashankar of Olathe, Kansas, when she was
given the word myelogenous last year on her
way to a fifth place finish. Watching her spell
the word was like watching a mathematician
work out an equation: Solve the first half, then
the second half, then add the two parts together.
Jae burst on the scene when he made the
semifinals two years ago at age 10. In addition
to his fun with pi, he can solve a Rubiks Cube in
less than 40 seconds and shuttles back-and-forth
between elementary schools so that he can take
advanced math classes. His number prowess
also fits into his passion for the stat-filled sport
of baseball hes a pitcher for his Little League
team and recently threw out the first pitch at a
minor league game.
We believe in a more balanced lifestyle, he
said, relaxing with his parents in the classroom
where he takes a geometry class. Spending,
like, 10 hours of your day locked up in a dark
cage studying isnt what I want to do with the
first 10 years of my life.
Jae talks almost as fast as he recites pi, and
he sounds mature beyond his years. He had a lot
of growing up to do last year when, buoyed by
his strong performance in 2012, he returned to
the Bee and failed to get out of the preliminaries.
I think I was kind of taking it for granted
that I was going to get into the semifinals, that I
had a better chance than most, Jae said. I feel
like I was a little arrogant coming into it.
But Jae then spoke of a more serious distrac-
tion. His mother, who is also his spelling coach,
was diagnosed with throat cancer several weeks
before the Bee, and he had to study essentially
on his own for a competition that suddenly felt
a lot more trivial.
It all kind of snowballed, Jae said.
His father, Craig, tried to help, but that comi-
cally fell apart one day when he was reading to
Jae a list of words with Slavic origin.
Down the list the next one was slave, and
he thought it was going to be something much
more complicated, so he went slah-vay, Jaes
mother, Catherine Kwon, said with a laugh.
Thats when he got fired as coach.
Kwon underwent surgery and is now in
remission Shes back, her husband said
proudly and the family is ready for Jaes lat-
est shot at spelling glory, realizing that he will
need all the breaks to fall his way.
