WASHINGTON (AP) —President Barack Obama,seeking to regain his foot-ing amid controversieshammering the WhiteHouse, named a tempo-rary chief for the scandal-marred Internal RevenueService Thursday andpressed Congress to ap-prove new security moneyto prevent another Beng-hazi-style terrorist attack.The efforts did little to

satisfy Republicans, who

see the controversies as anopportunity to derailObama’s second-termagenda. House SpeakerJohn Boehner suggestedthe White House had vio-lated the public’s trust,and he promised to “stopat nothing” to hold the ad-ministration accountable.“Nothing dissolves the

bonds between the peopleand their government likethe arrogance of powerhere in Washington,”Boehner said. “And that’swhat the American people

are seeing today from theObama administration re-markable arrogance.”The targeting of conser-

vative political groups bythe IRS and new ques-tions about the deadly at-tack on the U.S.diplomatic mission inBenghazi, Libya, last yearalong with the Justice De-partment’s seizure of jour-nalists’ phone recordshave consumed the WhiteHouse for nearly a week.Of the three controversies,the president’s advisers

see the IRS matter as themost likely to linger. Atleast three congressionalcommittees are planninginvestigations into theagency that touches thelives of nearly everyAmerican.Obama, who was criti-

cized by both opponentsand allies for his meas-ured initial response tothe IRS targeting, vowedto ensure the agency acts“scrupulously and withouteven a hint of bias.”“I think we’re going to

be able to fix it,” he de-clared during a joint newsconference with TurkishPrime Minister RecepTayyip Erdogan.Soon afterward, Obama

appointed senior budgetofficial Danny Werfel totemporarily run the IRS,one day after Acting Com-missioner Steven Miller’sforced resignation. TheWhite House is expectedto nominate a permanentcommissioner later thisyear.However, the president

knocked down theprospect of appointing aspecial prosecutor to in-vestigate the IRS, sayingthe congressional investi-gations and a separateJustice Department probeshould be enough to naildown who was responsiblefor improperly targetingtea party groups whenthey applied for tax-ex-empt status.Obama and Erdogan

were questioned during alight but steady rain

PIQUA — Piqua CitySchools celebrated Rightto Read week, May 13-17.Susan Hopkins, library

aide at the Nicklin Learn-ing Center, received a Mc-Donald’s $500 MakingActivities Count (MAC)Grant to purchase paper-back books for kindergart-ners, and give them awayduring Right to ReadWeek.The library trans-

formed into a three ringcircus with a tightrope,beanbag toss, hula hoops,and a ring of fire. The chil-

dren were encouraged toplay the games set uparound the room. Stream-ers and multi-colored bal-loons adorned the walls,during the week long cele-bration of reading.Last year, the Reading

is Fundamental (RIF) pro-gram was pulled fromschools across the country.Piqua City Schools hadbeen apart of the RIF pro-gram for 43 years andwith the program, chil-dren had received threebooks per year to takehome and keep.“It is important to in-

grain in children thatreading is still important,”said Hopkins.”They need

books in their homes.”Hopkins has been work-

ing for Piqua City Schoolsfor 13 years. The MACgrant was the first grantHopkins had ever appliedfor and she received theaward in Dayton.The children split into

four groups to play thegames and clapped uponthe completion of a somer-sault through the ring offire.Bonnie Marx, a volun-

teer at Nicklin LearningCenter, assisted childrenas they walked thetightrope with the aid ofan umbrella or while bal-ancing a bright greenbeanbag.

The children go to thelibrary twice a week to geta couple books to read athome. One on of thosedays, Hopkins hosts a 30minute story-time, wherethe children are read to byHopkins.“Hopkins has a heart

for children and reallymakes story time comealive,” Marx said.Hopkins described each

WASHINGTON (AP) —President Barack Obamaon Thursday tried to turnthe tables on Republicanswho have criticized his ad-ministration’s response tolast year’s deadly attackin Benghazi, Libya, call-ing on lawmakers to ap-prove his request toincrease funding for diplo-matic security.Obama’s call was the

second step in as manydays designed to combatGOP charges that his ad-ministration misledAmericas about the cir-cumstances of the attack,playing down the terroriststrike that killed fourAmericans amid the pres-idential race. Obama hasangrily rejected thoseclaims and now is seekingto turn the debate towardimproving embassy secu-rity.“I want to say to mem-

bers of Congress in bothparties, we need to cometogether and truly honorthe sacrifice of those fourcourageous Americansand better secure ourdiplomatic posts aroundthe world,” Obama said ata Rose Garden news con-ference with the Turkishprime minister. “That’show we learn the lessonsof Benghazi.”The State Department

is seeking about $1.4 bil-lion for increased security.The money would comeprimarily from funds thathaven’t been spent inIraq. That would include$553 million for 35 moreMarine Security Guardunits, $130 million for 155diplomatic security agentsand $376 million for secu-rity upgrades and con-struction at newembassies.Since the attack on

Sept. 11, 2012, Democratshave complained that Re-publicans cut $300 millionfrom the Obama adminis-tration’s budget request of$2.6 billion for diplomaticand embassy security in2012.A spokesman for House

Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said Congress pro-vided extra security

Covington BOE: ‘Huge hurdle’ crossedBY JENNIFERRUNYONFor the Daily Callpdceditorial@civitasmedia.com

COVINGTON — Dur-ing their monthly meetingThursday night, the Cov-ington Exempted VillageBoard of Education sharedtheir excitement andthanked the communityfor the levy passage.“I think a huge hurdle

was crossed and we solveda huge financial and struc-tural problem at the sametime,” board member JonFurrow said.The BOE then discussed

the next steps for thebuilding project with theOhio School FacilitiesCommission.

According to Superin-tendent Dave Larson, thedistrict has been in contactwith the OSFC.After a dis-trict passes its levy, theOSFCmust revise its mas-ter plan. This is what theOSFC is currently workingon. Larson said Covingtonshould receive the revisedplan next week.The schoolboard must then pass aresolution declaring thatthey want to proceed. TheCovington BOE will hold aspecial session at 4 p.m.Wednesday,May 29 to voteon the resolution. Follow-ing this, the OSFC will letthe district know if it willreceive funding during thenext cycle. This will bedone July 11.Larson also said that

district leaders will meetwith the custodial staffmost likely the week afterschool is out to determinewhat maintenance issuesthe school will need to ad-dress and which don’t haveto be attended to since thedistrict is getting the newbuilding. Students willhave three more schoolyears in the current build-ings.Building and Grounds

Committee members AlexReck and Jon Furrow willmeet with the OSFC todiscuss the next steps aswell.Also during their meet-

ing, the board approvedschool fees for next year.The prices will remain thesame.

“Looking at the commu-nity, we thought we neededto keep them flat,” Larsonsaid.However, he then said

that lunch prices have in-creased for next year.“The goal is always for

food services to be self-suf-ficient,” Larson saidadding that with the newfood requirements, the fed-eral government demandsthat food costs a certainamount. “We’re still on thelow end if you compare,” hesaid.The school year will

conclude for Covington onMay 24. There will be anearly dismissal at 1 p.m.on this day. Graduationwill be held at 2 p.m. May26 at Hobart Arena.

WASHINGTON (AP)— President BarackObama picked a seniorWhite House budget offi-cial to become the actinghead of the Internal Rev-enue Service on Thurs-day, the same dayanother top official an-nounced plans to leavethe agency amid the con-troversy over agents tar-geting tea party groups.Obama named long-

time civil servant DanielWerfel as the acting IRScommissioner. Werfel, 42,currently serves as con-troller of the Office ofManagement andBudget, making him akey player in implement-ing recent automaticspending cuts known asthe sequester.“Throughout his career

working in both Demo-cratic and Republican ad-ministrations, Danny hasproven an effective leaderwho serves with profes-sionalism, integrity andskill,” Obama said in astatement. “The Ameri-can people deserve tohave the utmost confi-dence and trust in theirgovernment, and as wework to get to the bottomof what happened and re-store confidence in theIRS, Danny has the expe-rience and managementability necessary to leadthe agency at this impor-tant time.”Werfel replaces Steven

Miller as acting IRS com-missioner. Miller wasforced to resign Wednes-day amid the growingscandal, though he is stillscheduled to testify Fri-day at a congressionalhearing.Also Thursday, Joseph

Grant, one of Miller’s topdeputies, announcedplans to retire June 3, ac-cording to an internalIRS memo. Grant is com-missioner of the agency’stax exempt and govern-ment entities division,which includes theagents that targeted teaparty groups for addi-tional scrutiny when theyapplied for tax-exemptstatus.Grant joined the IRS in

2005. Before that he wasa top official at the Pen-sion Benefit GuarantyCorporation.Werfel agreed to head

the IRS through the endof September, the WhiteHouse said. Presumably,Obama will nominate anew commissioner bythen.IRS commissioners

serve five-year terms andmust be confirmed by theSenate.Werfel won’t needSenate approval becausehe is a temporary ap-pointment. The Senate,however, confirmed Wer-fel for his current posi-tion without opposition in2009.Werfel has had several

jobs at the Office of Man-agement and Budget andworked there duringPresident George W.Bush’s administration.He has also been a trialattorney in the JusticeDepartment’s CivilRights Division.

funding in legislationpassed this spring. “It isbetter management thatis required now to ad-dress these security con-cerns,” the spokesman,Brendan Buck, said.Obama also said his ad-

ministration is increasingintelligence and warningcapabilities to securediplomats and that he’sdirected the Pentagon toensure that the military“can respond lighteningquick in times of crisis.”“But we’re not going to

be able to do this alone.We’re going to need Con-gress as a partner,”Obama said.His comments came the

day after theWhite Housereleased 99 pages ofemails and a single pageof hand-written editsshowing the interagency

debate over the talkingpoints under pressurefrom Congress. Theemails show that WhiteHouse staff only re-quested minor edits, butthere were repeated re-quests from the State De-partment to take outinformation that could beused to criticize them.Democrats rallied be-

hind Obama, arguing thatthe email disclosure un-dermined Republicanclaims of a cover-up.“Let’s be honest about

what’s happening here,”Foreign Relations Com-mittee Chairman BobMenendez, D-N.J., saidThursday in a speech onthe Senate floor. “It’s notabout doing all we can tofind the truth and makingsure it never happensagain; it’s about political-gamesmanship and find-ing someone to blame.”

Senate Majority LeaderHarry Reid, D-Nev., saidthe emails “prove theresimply was no cover-up.”“Yet Republicans, with

full knowledge of theseemails, claimed theWhiteHouse was hiding thetruth,” Reid said.House Minority Leader

Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.,agreed with Obama thatthe GOP focus was a“sideshow.”Yet Republicans made

clear they have no plansto back down, withBoehner telling reportersthat the GOP members onfive committees were“working overtime” on theBenghazi issue.Eight months after the

attack, the issue remainsa political winner withthe Republican base asconservatives have beenferocious in assailingObama. Rank-and-file

GOP members and out-side groups have pres-sured Boehner to appointa special select committeeto investigate. Instead,Republicans are pursuingtheir own inquiries andpromising to call morewitnesses to testify pub-licly, including the vet-eran diplomat and retiredadmiral, Thomas Picker-ing, who led an independ-ent review of the attackthat widely criticized theState Department’s insuf-ficient security at the fa-cility.Pickering and former

Joint Chiefs ChairmanMike Mullen sent a letterThursday to the Houseoversight committeechairman saying they willtestify in public but notsubmit to private inter-views with staff investiga-tors prior to theirtestimony.

during Thursday’s outdoorevent. As the rain pickedup, the president sum-moned a pair of Marineguards to provide umbrel-las for Erdogan and him-self, joking, “I’ve got achange of suits, but I don’tknow about our primeminister.”The news conference

marked Obama’s firstcomments on the govern-ment’s widely criticizedseizure of telephonerecords of reporters andeditors of The AssociatedPress in an investigationof news leaks. The presi-

dent spoke of the impor-tance of striking a balancebetween “secrecy and theright to know” but said hewould make no apologiesfor trying to protect classi-fied information thatcould put Americans atrisk.“I’ve still got 60,000-

plus troops inAfghanistan, and I’ve stillgot a whole bunch of intel-ligence officers around theworld who are in risky sit-uations,” he said. “Part ofmy job is to make surethat we’re protecting whatthey do, while still accom-modating for the need forinformation.”

The president said hecontinues to have confi-dence in Attorney GeneralEric Holder, who has beenthe target of intense criti-cism from lawmakersafter the phone recordsubpoenas were madepublic.The IRS and Justice

Department controversieshave coincided with a re-vival in the GOP-led in-vestigations into theSeptember attacks inBenghazi, which claimedthe lives of the U.S. am-bassador to Libya andthree other Americans.Obama, who angrily

cast the investigations as

a “sideshow” earlier thisweek, tried to turn thefocus Thursday to Con-gress. He urged lawmak-ers to provide more moneyto strengthen security atU.S. diplomatic missionsaround the world.“We need to come to-

gether and truly honor thesacrifice of those fourcourageous Americansand better secure ourdiplomatic posts aroundthe world,” Obama said.“That’s how we learn thelessons of Benghazi.That’s how we keep faithwith the men and womenwho we send overseas torepresent America.”

Ihave so many stories to share with you, dear reader,but there is simply not enough hours in the day orspace to tell them all. This is a problem for a lot of us

— space and time—especially when it comes to wantingto thank people.Such is the case for Ruth Hahn, co-founder of the

Hahn-Hufford Center on Garbry Road who I had the ab-solute delight of speaking with on Monday. It was greatto see Ruth’s happy, smiling face, and to receive a hugafter so long. In fact, I haven’t even been to the centersince Brianne’s final neurofeedback appointment forTri-chotillomania, a compulsive desire to pull hair, last fall.As some of you may recall, Brie had begun to pull her

eyebrows and eyelashes out to the point theywere nearlynon-existent but I amthrilled to say that since herlast treatment not a lash oreyebrow is out of placeHowever, Brie and I will

often comment on how long ithas been since visitingHahn-Hufford, given I was apatient there for a short time,too. How we miss seeingPam and Kim in the brainwellness center, the alwayscalming neurofeedback pro-gram, and the simple fact of how welcoming everyonehas always been and was at the time to our entire fam-ily.So as you can imagine this was a long overdue visit

when I joined Ruth in the conference room to speak onher latest adventure. She is now the proud author of herfirst book, ‘Hope Fulfilled: Hands that give hope.’ An in-spirational story on a celebration of motherhood, deter-mination, community and faith.The book is available for sale both at the center and at

Amazon.com with proceeds to go towards the buildingfund.Ruth’s dream of paying off the building has often ex-

pressed and for good reason. A lot has been achieved attheHahn-Hufford Center over the course of four decades,to have the mortgage paid in full would alleviate a lot ofworry and allow their amazing, beautiful, family-orien-tated work to continue.As written in Thursday’s Daily Call, Ruth had to con-

dense her book tomake the storymanageable, a decisionthat had to be very difficult considering the number ofindividuals who have assisted the center over the years.Unfortunately, in the case of this reporter when trying tocapture the names of all those individuals, organizationsandmore, I failed to mention Carla Bertke, executive di-rector for the rehab center in Thursday’s article. How Icould havemissed Carlawas enough tomakemewant topull out my hair given her committent and hard work isevident in everything she does there as executive direc-tor. A position she has held for 17 years for a total of 23given she started as an intern in the 80s.As she stated in Ruth’s new book during a personal

testimony,Carla explained how it didn’t take long beforeshe was hooked. Something I can appreciate as I’mhooked andwish nothingmore than for Ruth to sell those20,000 books necessary to pay off the entire mortgage.“If that could happen I would be so excited. It would

just be another dream fulfilled,” Ruth said with a con-viction and emotion that, honestly, if I could afford it I’dbuy every last one of them. If it helps, I’m rooting andpraying for you and everyone there, Ruth.• Ruth Hahn will hold her first book signing from 11

a.m. to 1 p.m. and 4:30-6:30 p.m.Tuesday,May 21, at theHahn-Hufford Center of Hope, 1306Garbry Road,Piqua.Lunch items will be available during the afternoon ses-sion with snacks and beverages during the evening ses-sion.

Iam not a big gun en-thusiast, but it ispretty easy to under-

stand why men are thatway.This winter we were in

a line to a drive-up win-dow at a pharmacy. I wastalking to my wife andmissed the cars in frontpulling up. Just as I put itinto gear, a car came inthe entrance, gunned it and pulled infront of me. I tooted my horn to showhow much I appreciated it. He leanedout of the car window and started shout-ing at me. He repeated this severaltimes and even got out and stood by hisdoor challenging me.I am 75, he was 40 years younger and

maybe 30 pounds heavier. To my embar-rassment, I just had to ignore him. I wasno match. But if I would have had a gunstrapped to my hip? I just wouldn’t havehad to take his crap. And if he wouldn’thave backed down? If he thought I wasbluffing and came at me?Well, I supposethen that I would have simply had toshoot him.We men were all boys. We all remem-

ber how cool and in control we felt bystrapping on a pair of six shooters. Theweight of our piece on our hip. The rushof manliness.I don’t know if it entirely ever goes

away. When I was in my 30s, they gaveme a beeper at work. I did feel a littlemore powerful walking into the cafete-ria with it on my belt. It never goes away.But I have grown a little.When I got myvery own cell phone when I got to be 70I wore it a couple of times on my belt,then felt foolish. I think that I was afraidthat I would be in a mall and my phonewould ring at the same time as anotherguy’s and I would lose the draw andwould have to fall down and play dead.So I carry it in my pocket, like JamesBond… It never goes away.It may be inborn, and just in the genes

of boys. One of my grandsons when hewas four was forbidden to play withguns. His father caught him at the din-ner table chewing his bread to form agun. And this same father when he wasjust my three-year-old son one night waswatching TV on the floor. The movie gota little spooky so he got up and went up-stairs. He returned with his olderbrother’s six shooter, sat back down onthe floor and finished watching themovie. He was safe. He was self-reliant.The gun manufacturers found that

guns get passed down infamilies and that they arealmost indestructible.Selling guns was cateringto a flat demand. Notmuch growth or profit inthat. But wait! How aboutwe make them toys? Howabout we play to childishfears of being in a worldwe don’t understand andrelate it to manliness, in-

dependence, self-reliance, and even pa-triotism? Let’s put them back into thewild west of their childhood’s imagina-tion.Then the gun runners said OK, we

can do this is by giving the NRAmillionsand millions of dollars a year to sellthese ideas and so push our sales. Andlo, it came to be. Winchester and Glockkeep selling the toys to the same cus-tomers. They get bigger and better. Weall need the newest, fastest, deadliestone to add to our collection. The indus-try’s sales have increased 5.7 percentevery year since 2007.The highest sellernow is assault rifles. Is that cool, orwhat? It’s the Second Amendment, baby!The gun runners have even come up

with a solution for mass shootings. Fig-ure out who is mentally disturbed withevil intent. That should be easy. Thenmake up a master list of these people.This is not against their rights becausewe’ll only cast aspersions on their men-tal health, not show how many of themhave guns. If we keep guns out of theirhands, we will be safe. And a voice said:“Sales, baby sales. If we can’t sell tothem, who’s next? Terrorists?”One more story about a kid and I’ll go.

In Tipp City last week a man walkedinto a convenience store at 4:30 a.m.with a gun strapped to his belt. I don’tthink anyone would have been nervousif he had looked more like Marshal Dil-lon. But he didn’t. Then he refused toshow his ID or carrying license untilthey put him in the cruiser. Now he’ssuing Dodge City for $3.6 million.I imagine him going home, sitting on

the floor, and watching TV— armed, andprobably dangerous.

CINCINNATI (AP) —Ohio’s RepublicanU.S. sen-ator questioned Thursdaythe suggestion by Presi-dent Barack Obama thathe didn’t know until re-cently that the IRS hadbeen targeting conserva-tive groups.Sen. Rob Portman, a

member of the Senate Fi-nance Committee, toldOhio reporters in a confer-ence call that questionsabout the Internal Rev-enue Service practiceswere raised early last yearso it’s “an issue that’s beenkicking around for over ayear.”The Democratic presi-

dent has said he heardabout the IRS practice lastFriday when an agency of-ficial apologized publiclyfor “inappropriate” actions.Following the ousterWednesday of the actingIRS commissioner, Obamasaid he was angry aboutthe targeting andwon’t tol-erate such behavior. TheJustice Department is in-vestigating.Portman said that when

the IRS was asked previ-ously about complaintsthat tea party groups werebeing subjected to extrascrutiny, the agency wrotelast year to senators thatproper procedures werebeing followed.A letter from the IRS

datedApril 26, 2012, statesthat the requests for moreinformation were part ofan effort to make sure ap-plications were complete sothe correct decision couldbe made on whethergroups qualified for tax-ex-empt status.“Unfortunately, we have

now learned a year laterthat our suspicions that wehad were correct — thatthe IRS employees wereusing inappropriate politi-cal screens ... and theywere zeroing in on conser-vative-leaning groups,”Portman said.Portman, who was in-

volved in IRS reform legis-lation while in the House,said the targeting is“deeply troubling” and anexample of events that areeroding public trust in gov-ernment.

You have the followinghand:

1. Partner bids OneSpade, and you respondTwo Notrump (13 to 15points, balanced distribu-tion). Partner bids ThreeSpades. What would youbid now?2. Partner bids One

Spade, and you respondTwo Notrump. Partnerbids Three Hearts. Whatwould you bid now?3. Partner bids One Di-

amond, and you respondOne Heart. Partner bidsThree Notrump. Whatwould you bid now?1. Four spades. Partner

seems unhappy withnotrump, and there is nogood reason to overridehim by insisting on

notrump. He has at leastsix spades, which makesthe A-10 adequate sup-port, and he could easilyhave a singleton (or void)in one of the side suits,which strongly militatesagainst notrump play.It is also possible -- in

fact, quite likely -- thatpartner is angling for aslam, since he did notjump immediately to fourspades to close out the bid-ding. Denying his suit fora second time might causehim to give up on a handthat would offer an excel-lent chance for slam.2. Four clubs. Here also

a slam looms on the hori-zon, and the best way ofalerting partner to this

possibility is by biddingfour clubs. This doesn’tmean you’ve suddenlyfound a long club suit youpreviously overlooked; onthe contrary, it announcesa fit for partner’s heartsand first-round control ofclubs, and suggests a slamif partner has more than aminimum opening bid.Partner might have any

of the following hands andbe encouraged to try forslam over the four-clubcuebid:

3. Six notrump. In the-ory, your partner needs 20points -- or a very good 19-- to bid three notrump,

since your one-heart re-sponse might have beenbased on a bare six points.Partner cannot count onmore than that except athis own peril.Since you have 14

points rather than six, youare entitled to raise him tosix notrump on the as-sumption that the com-bined hands contain 34points -- one more thanthe number ordinarilyneeded for a small slam. Ifhe comes home lame, youmight give seriousthought to looking for anew partner.

Tomorrow: A toughproblem to solve.

DEAR ABBY: It’s vaca-tion time again, time to hitthe road in the RV. Pleasemake your readers awarethat people driving mo-torhomes, towing fifth-wheel trailers and traveltrailers CANNOT stop asquickly as a small car ortruck.When people cut in

front of an RV or a largetruck and slam on theirbrakes, it puts many peo-ple’s lives in danger. Thereis a reason we leave thatlarge space between ourRV and the vehicle infront of us. It provides usroom to stop as well as theability to see what’s hap-pening in the trafficahead. Your readersshould also know thateven though we RV-ershave mirrors and possiblyrear video cameras, thereare many blind spots —especially if the car be-hind us is following tooclose or weaving in andout of lanes.The bottom line is: Be

safe. Be courteous. Drivelike your life and the livesof others are in your con-trol because it is literallytrue.

— HAPPY CAMPER,PASCO, WASH.

DEAR HAPPYCAMPER: I’m glad youwrote because I have re-ceived several letters re-cently, asking me to alertmy readers about the riskof driving too close to RVsand fifth-wheel vehicles.Too many motorists don’trealize that it’s impossibleto stop suddenly whilepulling a load that weighsseveral tons. A word to thewise …

DEAR ABBY: Awoman here at work con-stantly asks to borrowmoney. The first time shedid it, she caught me offguard and I gave her $20.The second time she sentme an email asking for aloan, I replied that I onlyhad a few dollars.I’m not the only person

she asks. Five other peo-ple in our departmenthave told me she has hitthem up too. One of themreported her to our HRmanager, but it hasn’tstopped her. To be fair, shedid return the $20 Iloaned her, but isn’t thisakin to a hostile work en-vironment? We all avoidher because we knowshe’ll ask for money, butwe also have to work withher every day. Times aretough for everyone, andit’s irritating that shethinks she’s the only onewith money problems.Is there anything we

can do short of ganging upon her and telling her toleave us all alone?

— ALSO FEELINGTHE PINCH IN UTAH

DEAR ALSO FEEL-ING THE PINCH: Thenext time the woman asksfor a loan, tell her you’renot in the loan business,and that you’re not theonly one who feels putupon. Suggest that unlessshe wants to become anoutcast she will stop ask-ing for money because ithas made everyone un-comfortable. If she per-sists after that, reportwhat she’s doing to HR asa group.

DEAR ABBY: I have afriend who was raisedCatholic. I’m not Catholic,and every time I attend awedding or funeral for oneof her family members Ifeel uncomfortable andawkward. I often sit in thevery back pew to go unno-ticed.The Catholic Church of-

fers beautiful, unique cus-toms that I am simplyignorant about — likewhen to sit, kneel, recite,take bread, etc. I feel if Idon’t comply with customsat these events, I mightcome off as rude or disre-spectful. On the otherhand, if I do try, my igno-rance may appear just asrude and disrespectful.What is the right thing

to do in situations likethese? I want to be re-spectful of any religion.

— MANNERLY ININDIANA

DEAR MANNERLY:No rule of etiquette de-mands that you partici-pate in the rituals ofanother person’s religion.If you feel uncomfortablesitting while others kneelor stand, then follow theirlead. Or, continue to sitquietly at the back of thechurch as you are doing,which is perfectly accept-able. However, only mem-bers of the congregation ingood standing should takecommunion.

BY JAKE COYLEAP Entertainment Writer

CANNES, France (AP) — TheCannes Film Festival got off to ablockbuster, if stormy start, as BazLuhrmann’s “The Great Gatsby”opened on a soggy French Riviera.Amid heavy rain, dancing flap-

pers flocked down the Cannes redcarpet Wednesday night, bringing atouch of the Jazz Age to theCroisette. “Gatsby” stars LeonardoDiCaprio, Carey Mulligan andTobey Maguire helped give the fes-tival’s opening day a strong dose ofstar power.At the opening ceremony, Di-

Caprio, joined by his “Gatsby” co-star, Bollywood actor AmitabhBachchan, declared the 66thCannes officially begun.Over the next 12 days, dozens of

the world’s most artistically ambi-tious films will premiere on Cannes’global stage. But Wednesday was aday for blockbusters — both the big-budget “Gatsby” and Hollywood’smost accomplished director of spec-tacle: Steven Spielberg.Spielberg is serving as jury pres-

ident at this year’s Cannes. Hispresence here is a rarity (he’s hadfilms at Cannes before, including“E.T.” and “Sugarland Express,” butnever had a movie in competition),and he was received like a visitinghead of state, a king of cinema.The “Lincoln” director received a

standing ovation at the opening cer-

emony and was serenaded with aperformance of “Miss Celie’s Blues”from his 1985 film, “The Color Pur-ple.”He heads the jury that will decide

the prestigious Palme d’Or, given toone of the 20 competing films, withentries ranging from the Coenbrothers (“Llewyn Davis”), Alexan-der Payne (“Nebraska”) and StevenSoderbergh (“Behind the Cande-labra”).This year’s jury is an intimidat-

ing, starry bunch, including NicoleKidman, Ang Lee and ChristophWaltz.“Everyone sits in judgment of us,”

Spielberg said. “So it’s our turn.”Luhrmann’s 3-D adaption of F.

Scott Fitzgerald’s novel, starringLeonardo DiCaprio, is this year’sfestival opener, a choice that sur-prised many since the film openedlast week in North America. Cannestypically takes precedence over re-lease schedules, but “Gatsby” sailsto the Croisette after a robust week-end haul of $51.1 million.After Luhrmann noted in a news

conference that the film had pushedFitzgerald’s novel to the top of thebestseller list (selling more copies ina week than in the author’s life-time), DiCaprio added with a grin:“And a little film adaptation isdoing quite well at the box office.”But while “Gatsby” is getting a

victory lap on the Cannes’ red car-pet, it comes to the festival with thesting of mixed reviews. Many film

critics have taken issue with themovie’s stylistic flourishes.“I knew that would come,” said

Luhrmann, noting Fitzgerald’s1925 novel was also initially re-ceived poorly. “I just care that peo-ple are going out and seeing it. Ireally am so moved by that.”“Gatsby” plays out of competition

at the festival, but Spielberg shouldhave his hands full with a slatelacking any obvious favorite. Inter-nationally-respected filmmakerslike Roman Polanski (“Venus inFur”), Asghar Farhadi (“The Past)and Jim Jarmusch (“Only LoversLeft Alive”) are to premiere theirfilms in competition.Every year, the Cannes jury pres-

ident is psychoanalyzed to help pre-dict the Palme d’Or winner. Thisyear is no different, with onlookersguessing that Spielberg will eithergravitate toward the kind of warm-hearted films he’s best known for, orseek to deliberately contradict thatassumption with a more audaciouschoice.The international jury also in-

cludes Romanian director CristianMungiu, Scottish filmmaker LynneRamsay, Japanese director NaomiKawase, French actor Daniel Au-teuil and Bollywood star VidyaBalan.“I’m going to have to look at the

Sidney Lumet film ‘12 Angry Men,’again as a tutorial to prepare my-self for the final day of delibera-tion,” Spielberg said with a smile.

Review: Clever ‘Stories We Tell’ explores memoryBY CHRISTY LEMIREAP Movie Critic

“Stories We Tell” is adocumentary about SarahPolley’s family: her fatherand mother, sister andbrother and the sister andbrother she has from hermother’s first marriage.It’s about momentsthey’ve shared that areseemingly prosaic anduniversally relatable, de-picted through the grainy,faded nostalgia of Super 8— splashing in the swim-ming pool, laughingaround the dinner table —as well as the betrayalsand losses that shapedand strengthened them.But while it’s incredibly

specific in its detail andmakes you feel as if you’veknown these people for-ever after spending lessthan two hours with them,“Stories We Tell” is also

about every family. It re-veals that we’ll all unreli-able narrators of our ownhistories, especially afteryears and even decadeshave gone by. And it re-minds us that the truth isa fleeting thing, con-stantly changing in theslightest of ways depend-ing on who’s telling it.Polley, the Toronto-

based actress-turned-filmmaker, has shownastonishing emotionaldepth and technical matu-rity at a young age in justtwo previous features:“Away From Her” and“Take This Waltz.” Likethose earlier films, “Sto-ries We Tell” focuses onhow a long-term relation-ship evolves over time.Now 34 and tackling asubject that’s so close toher heart, she reveals awhole new level of artistic

mastery. Her meta, multi-layered exploration of herown past combines inter-views, archival footageand meticulous reenact-ments so seamlessly, it’shard to tell what’s realand what’s mythologized.And that’s the point.Even calling “Stories

We Tell” a documentaryseems rather limiting andnot entirely accurate; it’salso a deadpan comedy, ajuicy melodrama and agripping mystery, all clev-erly blended together withgreat focus. But Polleypulls back the curtainfrom time to time to shareher process, which createsan even greater sense ofintimacy. Her siblingssquirm beneath a boommic and hot lights, worry-ing about how they look.Her father, the actorMichael Polley, stands at a

microphone in a recordingstudio, reading in a rich,British accent his own po-etic version of the family’shistory that he wrote; Pol-ley, sitting at a soundboard on the other side ofthe glass, politely in-structs him to repeat aline here and there.Their bond is obviously

a warm and comfortableone, and has remained sodespite the revelationsthat the film recounts. (DoNOT do a Google searchbefore you see this movie.Experience it for yourself.)“Stories We Tell” sprang

from a recurring jokewithin the Polley familythat Sarah didn’t resem-ble her father much. Rela-tives and longtime friendsremember her mother,Diane Polley, who died ofcancer when Sarah wasonly 11, as a charismatic,

Q:I went into my 17-year-old’s bedroom towake him this morn-

ing. After some urging, heeventually got up and thentoldmehehatedme.What istheappropriate consequencefor this sort of disrespect?

A: Actually, I don’t con-sider that a form of disre-spect.Strictly speaking,yourson simply informed you ofhowhe feelsaboutyou,or feltabout you at that moment.His tone of voice may havebeen disrespectful, but thestatement“I hate you” is not.It is about him, his feelings.It’s not about you.It would have been a dif-

ferent story had your sonsaid“You’re stupid”or“You’reugly.” Statements of thosesorts, because they’d havedisparagedyou,wouldbeex-amples of disrespect.Today’s teens tend, unfor-

tunately, to be emotionallydramatic. The very stupidfad known as “cutting” is anexample of this new emo-tional narcissism. Contrarytopopularmyth,immaturityof this sort in teenagers ishistorically recent. It beganinthe late1960s,whenanewwave of parenting “experts”claimed that children shouldbe allowed to express theirfeelings freely.Upuntil then,parents had understood theneed to teachchildrento con-trol the expression of their

feelings as well as their be-havior.Let’s face it, a person who

expresses his or her feelingsfreely is obnoxious, tyranni-cal, even sociopathic. Sincethe 1960s, all too manyAmericanparentshavebeenintimidated by their chil-dren’s emotions. Conse-quently, they have notdisciplined them properly.Therefore, many teens feelthey have license to expressany old emotion they choose,in whatever context, towardwhomever. It’s a form of nar-cissism, really, and it’s trulyunfortunate because in thefinal analysis, the personmost harmed is the teen inquestion. This unattractivecharacteristic does notmakefor successful relationships.Nor does it make for a posi-tive sense of one’s worth. Asadults, these teens are likelytobeveryunhappy individu-als.So, what should you have

donewhen your son told youhe hated you? You shouldhave either ignored it or saidnothing more than some-thing along the lines of“that’s most unfortunate”and walked away. That sortof nonchalant parental re-sponse isanexampleofwhatwas once called “letting achild stew in his own juices.”But I have a question for

you: Why on earth are youtaking responsibility for get-ting a 17-year-old out of bed

in the morning? So he won’tbe late for school? If that’s thecase, then the question be-comes “Why are you takingresponsibility for seeing to itthat he’s not late for school?”And so on. If that sort of en-abling is characteristic ofyourparentingstyle,then it’sno wonder that your son isemotionally immature. Achild’s maturity depends togreat degree on parents whoforce him to accept full re-sponsibility for thechoiceshemakes. In this case, your songets to school late, hemissesa class or two,his grades suf-fer, he has to go to summerschool in order to graduateon time, he makes lessmoney over the summer, hecan’t see his friends as often,and so on.Start letting your son

“own” his problems. It’s hightime. Oh, and let him hateyou all he wants. That’s hisproblem too.

It’s not about you�� Living with Children

JOHN ROSEMONDColumnist

Your number one fan�� Mom in Training

We are on sum-mer’s heels as weprepare for the

end of first grade. Oneminute I want to cry, oneminute I want to pat my-self on the back and won-der how we’ve made it thisfar and yet I wouldn’ttrade this journey for theworld.I cannot believe I am

eight years into thewomen’s lives and I’m stillfumbling my way along.I’m thankful I havefriends in later stages oftheir children’s lives thatI try to gauge how to reactto our present lives. It isalso helpful to havefriends with childrenyounger then mine so Ican really be in awe ofwhere we’ve come fromand to remind myself ofhow strong I truly am. Iremember when the girlswere around two yearsold, I wanted to write aletter to my girls that theycould open when they are16. I put it off and put itoff. Here we are six yearslater and no letter hasbeen written. But I thinkmy message would be thesame.

Dear Alani and Tegan,You are the scariest and

most wonderful thingsthat have ever happenedto me. I had no clue what Iwas missing when Iwaited nearly 10 years tobecome a mom. I wantedto be sure that your par-ents were going to be allthey could be and to giveyou the very best life thatwe could.When I look at you I

want to be the best that Ican be. I want to treat peo-ple the way I want you tobe treated.I want you to know that

it is important to be kind.I want you to be who

you are and not to worryabout what everyone elseis doing.I want you to be strong

and to stick up for whatyou believe in while re-specting those with differ-ent opinions.Tell me you love me as

often as you can and Ipromise to do the same.Please know that it

takes a lot of strength tosay no to the most beauti-ful little girls in the world.You make me laugh, youmake me proud, you make

me crazy, but most of all,remember I will always beyour number one fan. I love you, Mommy

I also wanted to take aminute to thank the girls’teachers. Thank you forteaching my children.Thank you for helping meraise my child. Thank youfor helping them find joyin reading, writing, gym,music and art. Thank youfor showing them thatthere are kind, loving peo-ple in this world.

HHS announces actions to improve child care WASHINGTON— May

16, 2013--Helping to answerPresident Obama’s call to en-sure quality early educationfor every American child, theU.S. Department of Healthand Human Services (HHS)proposed today a new regu-lation for public commentthat will better ensure chil-dren’s health and safety inchild care and promoteschool readiness. Under theproposed rule, states, territo-ries and tribes would be re-quired to strengthen theirstandards to better promotethe health, safety and schoolreadiness of children in fed-erally funded child care.Millions of working par-

ents depend on child careand assume certain safetyrequirements are already inplace for their children, butstandards vary widely acrossthe states. Many states donot enforce even basic stan-dards such as fingerprinting,background checks and firstaid training for providers.This puts our children atrisk.“Many children already

benefit from the excellentcare of high-quality child

care providers who are meet-ing or exceeding the pro-posed requirements,” saidHHS Secretary Kathleen Se-belius. “However, too manychildren remain in settingsthat do not meet minimumstandards of health andsafety. These basic rules en-sure that providers take nec-essary basic steps to shieldchildren from an avoidabletragedy.”The proposed rule would

only apply directly to childcare providers who acceptChild Care and DevelopmentFund (CCDF) funds. Morethan 500,000 providers serveabout 1.6 million low-incomechildren through CCDF.Many more children wouldbenefit, however, because theproviders also serve non-CCDF children.Under the proposed rule,

states would require ensurethat all CCDF-funded childcare providers:Receive health and safety

training in specific areasComply with applicable

state and local fire, healthand building codesReceive comprehensive

background checks (includ-

ing fingerprinting)Receive on-site monitoringThe rule would also re-

quire states to share infor-mation with parents throughuser-friendly websites aboutprovider health, safety and li-censing information. Whilesome states already posthealth and safety reports on-line, the new rule wouldbring all states up to thisstandard.“Parents know the needs

of their own children,” saidShannon Rudisill, director ofthe Office of Child Care.“However, parents don’t al-ways have enough informa-tion to help them make theright choice when choosing achild care provider. This pro-posal would give parents thenecessary tools to choosequality care that fully meetstheir needs.”While the proposed rule

establishes new minimumstandards, it also recognizesthe need for innovation andflexibility and allows statesand communities to tailortheir specific approaches tobest meet the needs of thechildren and families theyserve.

Ever tried toastinghamburger buns on agrill? It takes uncannytiming to achieve an evenmedium brown across thebuns. Typically, they re-main white for whatseems like far too long.Then it's as if time acceler-ates, and they blow pasttoasted to burnt in thetime it takes to flip theburgers.The same phenomenon

is at work when you toasta marshmallow over acampfire: wait and turn,wait and turn... thenbrown, black and — poof!— it's aflame.The problemis perhaps most acutewhen cooking shiny-skinned fish on a grill orunder a broiler. Once theskin turns from silver tobrown, the heat pours intothe fillet, and the windowof opportunity for perfectdoneness slams shut withamazing speed.Anytime you cook light-

colored food with highheat, inattention is arecipe for disaster. But thephysics here is pretty sim-ple, and once you under-stand it you can useseveral methods to im-prove your odds of makingthat perfectly toasted bun,golden half-melted marsh-mallow, or juicy grilled fil-let.At high temperatures—

about 400 F (200 C) andup — a substantial part ofthe heat that reaches thefood arrives in the form ofinfrared light wavesrather than via hot air orsteam. The higher thetemperature, the biggerthe part that radiant heatplays in cooking. But thisform of heat interacts withcolor in a profound way.The bottom of a ham-

burger bun looks white be-cause it reflects most ofthe visible light that hitsit, and the same is true forinfrared heat rays. Thereis a reason that white cars

are popular in Phoenix —they stay cooler in the sun-shine, which is full of in-frared radiation.A silvery, mirror-like

fish skin is even more re-flective than a white car.About 90 percent of the ra-diant heat striking it sim-ply bounces away. Becauseonly around 10 percent of

the energy sinks in andwarms the fish, cookinginitially creeps alongslowly but steadily.That changes rapidly,

however, as soon as thefood gets hot enough tobrown. It's like changingfrom a white shirt to ablack shirt on a sunnysummer day. As the food

darkens, that 10 percent ofenergy absorbed rises byleaps and bounds, and thetemperature at the surfaceof the food soars.So browning acceler-

ates, which increases heatabsorption, which booststhe temperature; it's a vi-cious circle. By the timeyou can get a spatula

under the fillet to flip itover, it may be almostblack, reflecting just 10percent of the heat andsucking in 90 percent.There are at least three

ways around this problem.The simplest is to stare,hawk-like, at the food andlower or remove the heatas soon as browning starts.That works fine for marsh-mallows but is not alwayspractical in the kitchen orbackyard barbecue.In some cases, you can

darken the color of thefood at the start, for exam-ple by slathering it with adark sauce or searing it ina very hot skillet beforeputting it on the grill. Thisis a way to make a fish

steak cook more like a beefsteak, which is fairly darkeven when raw and sodoesn't experience such adramatic shift in heat ab-sorption. This method gen-erally shortens the cookingtime.Finally, try piling other

ingredients, such as slicedonions or zucchini, be-tween the food and thecoals or the broiler ele-ment to moderate the in-tensity of the radiant heat.Cooking times willlengthen — and you mayend up having to toss outthe sacrificial buffer ingre-dients if they get charred— but that window of op-portunity will stay openlonger.

Three-D printing tech-nology is a game changerin the arts and craftsworld."It really takes the lid

off of what's possible,"says Andrej Suskavcevic,president and CEO of theCraft and Hobby Associa-tion, in Elmwood Park,N.J. "It seems to me it'llprovide a really goodbridge between technologyand hands-on crafting."Randy Sarafan, technol-

ogy editor at Instructa-bles, a website for sharingdo-it-yourself projects,calls 3-D printing "mind-blowing. And the technol-ogy is adapting, changingand growing so fast."Already, desktop 3-D

printers can make doo-dads, such as plastic rings,figurines, and small gearsand parts. Sarafan printshis own robotic parts. Acolleague printed a recordthat plays music. Thereare umpteen projects forprinting cell phone covers.You can find advancedDIY projects at Thingi-verse, a digital design-sharing website, and atInstructables."In a way, this reverses

the industrial revolutionand takes it back to peoplebuilding things in theirown workshops," says KenDenmead, editorial direc-tor at Make magazine,which devoted its winter2013 issue to 3-D printing.At-home, desktop 3-D

printers don't print high-quality pieces, say theartists who play aroundwith them — not yet.Until they do, there also

are companies willing toprint your 3-D artwork orobjects for you.Joshua Harker is a

sculptor whose most fan-tastical design ideas werelocked in his imaginationuntil 3-D printing becameaccessible."I've been drawing liter-

ally forever," says Harker,43, of Chicago. "I wantedto develop the drawings Iwas doing three-dimen-sionally and there was ab-solutely no way to do it."With 3-D printing, he

says, "there are all these

possibilities to get myhead around. There's a lotof room to explore and it'sstill exciting for me."Three-D printer ma-

chines build up layers ofextruded material —mostly plastics but alsoceramics, metals, even awood filament — one thinlayer at a time using CAD(computer-aided design)software. Larger, commer-cial machines actuallyhave been around sincethe mid-1980s.Tabletop machines,

which print primarily in

plastics, have dropped inprice in recent years. Theycost a few hundred dollarsto several thousand. Somenotable desktop brandsare Makerbot, Deezmakerand Cubify.Newcomers enter the

scene rapidly, says Den-mead. One is Printrbot,whose Printrbot Jr. is thesmallest and — at $400 —least expensive 3-Dprinter on the market, ac-cording to Make.The mag-azine's reviews of morethan a dozen 3-D printersare available at

Makezine.com, as are tipson using CAD modelingsoftware.Or skip the machine

and focus on the CAD soft-ware, modeling andtweaking your art or ob-ject for printing by one ofthe many 3-D printingservices, such as Shape-ways and Ponoko. A lot ofthe software, such asReplicatorG, is free online.This is the route many

artists take."It's a low-overhead way

to run a business," saysColleen Jordan of Atlanta,who makes 3-D-printedjewelry that she sells on-line at the Etsy.com storeWearable Planter, andthrough Fab.com.Jordan, 25, who has a

degree in industrial de-sign, designs a 3-D modelin software such as Solid-Works or Rhino, then up-loads the file to a printingservice, often Shapeways.She warns that modelingsoftware takes time andpatience to learn, but oth-erwise the process is sim-ple. She receives herfinished pieces from theprinter in a few weeks.Jordan couldn't create

her jewelry by traditionalmeans, which involve tensof thousands of dollars tocreate molds and othermanufacturing startupcosts."I spent $25,000 on

printing last year," shesays. "If I were to put thatinto just making molds, I'donly have 30 products be-fore shipping."Instead, she prints her

jewelry — diminutiveplanters that can hold tinyplant sprigs — only asneeded.Other artists echoed the

cost savings of 3-D print-ing on demand, and saythe medium will create op-portunities for young de-signers and inventors.Jessica Rosenkrantz,

co-founder and co-de-signer at Nervous Systemin Somerville, Mass.,prints art, jewelry andhousewares in sterling sil-ver, stainless steel andnylon plastic at Shape-ways."It's the most affordable

way to do it other thanprinting it yourself," saysRosenkrantz, 30, notingthat a desktop printercouldn't manage her prod-ucts' intricate designs.Desktop 3-D printers

are good for messingaround with and printingprototypes, says Jordan."It's more of a toy than

a tool. It's a cool toy," saysJordan about her Maker-bot 3-D printer. "It's kindof cool to have around."Denmead sees 3-D

printers changing the wayartists create, hobbyistsbuild and homeownerstinker."We're not going to need

to send away for spare orreplacement parts any-more," says Denmead."We're going to be able todownload a file from acompany and fix the pieceat home."Sarafan likewise pre-

dicts that users won'tneed to understand 3-Ddesign software to play inthe medium, and they'll beable to use apps to printfrom phones."It's stuff like that that

is going to revolutionizethe way people think ofthis technology," saysSarafan.

ASSOCIATED PRESS(AP) — Rather than

heading to the pharmacyfor solutions to commonailments, a majority ofpeople may be able to stopat the nearest pet store oranimal shelter and find afinned or furry remedy in-stead.Studies that link posi-

tive health benefits to petownership abound. Ac-cording to WebMD, onestudy found that 48 stock-brokers who adopted a petexperienced lower bloodpressure readings instressful situations thandid people who did notown pets. Another studyfound that individualssuffering from serious dis-eases, such as cancer orAIDS,are far less likely toexperience depression ifthey have a strong tie to apet. Plus, pets haveproven beneficial to sen-iors struggling with lone-liness.Any pet can try a per-

son’s patience at times,expecially when a kittyhas used a sofa as ascratching post or when apooch needs to be let intothe yard at 3 a.m. But formany pet owners, the ben-efits of having a pet faroutweigh the negatives.Here are some of themany ways that pet own-ership can be good foryour health.Lower blood pressure:

Petting a dog or cat canlower blood pressure, ascan watching a fish swimaround a tank. Those withhypertension may want topurchase or adopt a com-

panion animal to helplower their blood pres-sure.Reduce stress: Stress is

something people face ona daily basis. According toa National Health Inter-view Survey, 75 percent ofthe general population ex-periences at least “somestress” every two weeks,and many times thatstress is moderate to se-vere. Research has indi-cated that when peoplespend time with a pettheir levels of cortisol, ahormone associated withstress, is lowered whiletheir level of serotonin, ahormone associated withimproved mood and well-being, is increased.Lower cholesterol:

Lifestyle factors associ-ated with pet ownership,particularly a focus on in-creased physical healthand activity, can helplower cholesterol levels.Also, having a pet worksto reduce stress, which

may keep individualsfrom looking to fatty foodsas sources of alleviatinganxiety.Fight depression: Many

therapists have pre-scribed pet therapy as amethod to alleviating andrecovering from depres-sion. A pet is an uncondi-tional friend and canprovide that listening eara person needs to talkthrough problems. Also,walking and taking careof a pet devotes attentionaway from problems andinward thinking.Improve physical activ-

ity levels: Heading to thegym is one way to get aworkout, but spending anhour walking the dog ortossing around a ball for agame of chase and fetch isanother way to get theheart pumping. Many dogowners benefit from the“forced”exercise that goeswith daily walks. Somepeople choose to exercisewith their pets, enjoying

the companionship andthe physical activity.Reduce stroke inci-

dences: There has beenevidence that cat ownersare less likely to sufferstrokes than people whodo not have cats. Re-searchers are not sure ofthe connection, but sur-mise that cats have amore calming nature thanother types of pets.Greater opportunities

for socialization: Humansare social animals andneed to interact with oth-ers. Pet owners have atendency to want to share

time and experiences withother pet owners. Pets canprovide opportunities forpeople to get together.ADHD therapy: Chil-

dren and adults with at-tention deficithyperactivity disorderoften benefit from workingwith a pet or having a petas a family companion.Playing with a pet is agreat way to release excessenergy and focus on tasks.Also, a pet with his or herunconditional love can helpsomeone with ADHD over-come self-esteem issues.Similar results are possible

when pets are used as ther-apy animals for childrenwith autism and other be-havioral disabilities.Reduce propensity for al-

Lynch and dog go to bat for pound pupsBY SUE MANNINGAssociated Press

LOS ANGELES (AP)— Jane Lynch doesn’tmind being upstaged byher latest co-star, Olivia— after all she “has nobad side, she is alwaysready to pose and shesits perfectly still whenyou put her in your lap.“I’m much more tem-

peramental,” Lynchsaid.Lynch’s dog Olivia is

her co-host for “ShelterMe: Let’s Go Home,” thesecond installment inthe PBS series “ShelterMe.” The “Glee” star alsohas a canine companionon Broadway, whereshe’s filling in as MissHannigan in “Annie.”Lynch got Olivia, part

Lhasa Apso and partother things, from ashelter 13 years ago, theday after filmingwrapped on “Best inShow.”“She is the love of my

life,” the 52-year-old ac-tress said.She went on to save

dogs Georgie andFrances and cats Friskyand Jiggles. She spon-sors an annual adoptionevent at the Rose Bowlin Pasadena.“Let’s Go Home” will

air on PBS stationsacross the country allsummer, said creatorSteven Latham.If you could talk to

Olivia about her owner,she would say: “I’m rest-less and it’s hard tosleep with me,” Lynchsaid. “Olivia likes a real,steady, solid sleeper soshe gets upset when Imove around at night.”Despite the wiggles,

though, the little dogloves her uncondition-ally, Lynch said, and thecause inspires her be-cause there are millionsmore like her at sheltersacross the country.“We are responsible

for each other and themost vulnerable amongus,” Lynch said.In December she

helped honor Mary Cor-tani of Operation Free-dom Paws, an

organization that res-cues shelter dogs andtrains them to helpwounded veterans.“I met this guy David,

who had a severe braininjury and emotionaltrauma. He’s function-ing well, but he wasparanoid and couldn’twalk down the streetwithout pulling his gunout to defend himself,”she said.“This dog totally

calmed him. He’s a newman. In fact, he gave mehis dog tags, which weremelted. The metal onthem was melted fromthe explosion he was in.”Cortani told Lynch

that by giving her thetags, he was letting go ofsome of the experience.“I have those dog tags

around the neck of myEmmy,” Lynch said ofher 2010 supporting ac-tress Emmy. “I stare atmy Emmy every day, ofcourse, so I put themaround the neck of myEmmy because theymean a whole heck of alot.”

This March 9 photo released by "Shelter Me" shows series host Jane Lynch pos-ing with her dog and co-host Olivia, an Lhasa Apso breed, in Venice, Calif. "Shel-ter Me" is an inspiring PBS series that celebrates shelter pets with positive anduplifting stories.

Kenyan company turns shoes into toysBY JOE MWIHIAAssociated Press

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP)— The colorful handmadegiraffes, elephants andwarthogs made in aNairobi workshop wereonce only dirty pieces ofrubber cruising the IndianOcean’s currents.Kenya’s Ocean Sole

sandal recycling companyis cleaning the EastAfrican country’s beachesof used, washed-up flip-flops and other sandals.About 45 workers in

Nairobi make 100 differ-ent products from the dis-carded flip-flops. In 2008,the company shipped an18-foot giraffe to Rome fordisplay during a fashionweek.Company founder Julie

Church says the goal ofher company is to createproducts that people wantto buy, then make theminterested in the back-story, the Voice of Americareported earlier.

Workers wash the flip-flops, many of which showsigns of multiple repairs.Artisans then glue to-gether the various colors,carve the products, sandand rewash them,VOA re-ported.

Church first noticedKenyan children turningflip-flops into toy boatsaround 1999, when sheworked as a marine scien-tist for WWF and theKenya Wildlife Service onKenya’s coast near the

border with Somalia.Turtles hatching on the

beach had to fight theirway through the debris onbeaches to get to theocean, Church said, and aplan to clean up the debrisand create artistic and

useful items gained mo-mentum. WWF ordered15,000 key rings, and hereco-friendly project tookoff.It has not made Church

rich, however. The com-pany turns over about

$150,000 a year, she said.Last year it booked asmall loss.But new investment

money is flowing in, andthe company is in themidst of rebranding itselffrom its former name —the FlipFlop RecyclingCompany — to OceanSole.The company aims to

sell 70 percent of its prod-ucts outside Kenya. It hasdistributors in the UnitedStates, Europe and newinquiries from Japan. Itsbiggest purchasers arezoos and aquariums.One of Church’s em-

ployees is Dan Wambui,who said he enjoys inter-acting with visitors whocome to the Nairobi work-shop.“They come from far …

when they see what weare doing we see them re-ally happy and they areappreciating. We feel in-ternationally recognizedand we feel happy aboutit,” Wambui said.

AP PHOTOFinished toy animals made from pieces of discarded flip-flops are laid out in rows to dry in the sun, havingjust been washed, at the Ocean Sole flip-flop recycling company in Nairobi, Kenya. The company is clean-ing the East African country's beaches of used, washed-up flip-flops and the dirty pieces of rubber thatwere once cruising the Indian Ocean's currents are now being turned into colorful handmade giraffes, ele-phants and other toy animals.

Piqua’s Kyler Holland goes over a hurdle Wednesday.

In previous years therewas only one track meeton the schedule, but in1922 there seemed to beincreased interest in thesport, and three meetsgarnered added attention.The track preview was

one of optimism. “Track season is again

here and prospects aregood for a winning teamlike that of last year.Other than the countymeets, many inter-schoolmeets are being planned,thus giving this year’ssquad a wider range ofcompetition than those offormer years. “Five men from the ’21

team are lost by gradua-

tion and three by ineligi-bility, but with the newmaterial which is nowfirst appearing a success-ful season is assured.”A pre-season meeting

was held that by today’sstandards would be con-sidered unique. “A meeting of all the

boys interested in athlet-ics and track was heldMonday afternoon in thelower assembly room.This meeting was well at-tended as there werenearly a hundred boyspresent. “Some fine talks were

given by Mr. Dietrick, Mr.Sims and Mr. Mote on the‘Importance of Training’

and the ‘Past Athletic His-tory of the School.’ Mr.Mote was very muchpleased at the number ofcandidates signed up fortrack and baseball.”The Miami County

meet was the first of theseason. Troy won first

place honors, while Piquafinished third. “Firstplace winners for the Redand Blue included John-son in the half-mile, Gar-bry in the 440 yard dash,and Smith in the 220yard dash.“In the 13th Annual

Tri-State meet held at Ox-ford Saturday in which 25high school track teamswere entered, the PiquaHigh team won fifth placein Class A. There were two meets,

Class A for schools havingan enrollment over 500students and the Class Bmeet for schools havingless than 500 enrollment.”A new meet ended the

track season. “Piqua HighSchool’s name will be en-graved on the beautifulRotary silver trophy cupoffered to the winner inthe Western Ohio Trackand Field meet, for on Sat-urday afternoon the teamrepresenting that schoolwon the contest in whicheight teams from theMiami Valley entered, byscoring 31 points.

relay, closing out one ofthe most successful trackseasons in its history.”

“In preparation for thefirst game of the season,which will be played atBradford Friday after-noon, the Piqua Highbaseball team is fastrounding into form.

“Piqua has an unusu-ally hard schedule thisyear and a real team willhave to be produced toface it.

“Four letter men arelost from last year’s squadand it will no doubt be adifficult matter for CoachMote to find men who willfill the positions left va-cant by the graduation ofGraham, Hickey, Lindseyand Spangler.”

“In the initial game ofthe season the Piqua Hibaseball squad lost to theBradford Hi team, thefinal score being 13 to 8.

“Eby pitched a finegame for the locals but theloose support which theremainder of the squadgave him was accountablefor the defeat.

“Piqua’s fate was de-cided in the eighth inning

when, due to errors, theBradford nine scored 8runs and as the score hadstood at a 5 to 5 tie beforethat time there was verylittle chance for the localsto even up the score.

“The crowd which at-tended the game at Brad-ford was veryunsportsmanlike andthroughout the game theycrowded the field so that itwas impossible to see thefirst and third sacks fromthe catcher’s position.”

“The local high schoolteam was defeated Fridayby Steele at Dayton in avery slow game by thescore of 22 to 1.

“The contest was unin-teresting and was playedto a very small crowd.Piqua’s playing was not upto par, some bad errorsbeing made.

“Nye pitched a verygood game but had ratherpoor support. Barklowwas the best bet at the batand on the bases forPiqua.”

“Stivers High of Daytonadded another victory totheir credit Saturday af-ternoon by defeating

Piqua High in a one sidedcontest by the score of 16to 1.

“Errors were the causeof most of Stivers’ runs al-though Eby was hit to theextent of eleven hits. Bet-ter form was displayed bythe Piquads in this contestthan in the Steele contestand they promise to re-deem themselves in theremaining games, espe-cially in those with Troy.”

“The Piqua High baseball nine broke their los-ing streak Friday after-noon when they won overMoraine Park by a 12 to 5score.

“The locals showedmuch improvement intheir form since their lastgame and local rooters aresure that the team has atlast found its stride.

“The local team had avery good day at the batand they collected morehits than in all of theirprevious games.

“Their fielding was fairand the few errors thatwere made were in the in-field.”

“Piqua was defeated byTroy Friday afternoon in a

one sided contest at High-land park by the score of14 to 6.

“The defeat was duemainly to errors onPiqua’s part as they had 6errors on their list. Sev-eral of the local team werenot present in the lineupas they had to leave forMiami to be there in timeto participate in the trackmeet which was held Sat-urday morning and after-noon.

“One of the regularswas also absent because ofa broken ankle received inpractice.

“This weakened the ef-fectiveness of the localsand was largely the causeof the defeat which theyhope to redeem in the con-test with Troy next week.”

“In the last game of the’22 baseball season, thePiqua High nine turned ina 3 to 0 victory over TroyHigh.

“Eby was given the bestbacking of the season anda great amount of credit isdue to the excellent workin the outfield. ‘Toad’Cron in left field pulleddown two long flies which

made their course out inthe neighborhood of theplayground apparatus,while Lehmkuhl andFisher, right and centerfielders did their workwithout error.

“Piqua seemed to haveall the odds in the hittingend of the game and someof the locals hits were thebest that have ever beenseen at Roosevelt Park.”

An interesting articleappeared in the Call inearly May.

“It has been about twoyears since the Board ofEducation purchased theold ball field on East AshSt.

“It has been about ayear since it was equippedby the Rotary club andpresented to the schools.Since that time it hasbeen a community centerfor the younger folks andat no time can one pass itwithout seeing someonethere.

“It has now all the nec-essary equipment for areal park. The East side isused mostly by children asit has slides, maypoles,swings, etc. On the south

side are two fine tenniscourts all enclosed so thatno one needs to hunt aball.

“The field proper has abaseball diamond, a grid-iron and jumping pits.Encircling all these is aquarter mile cinder trackprobably the best track forrunning in the county.

“The school officials arehoping that a grand standcan be built in the near fu-ture for the patrons thatattend our games.

“The only drawbackthat the park has is itsvery small amount ofshade, but young treeshave been planted and itwill only be a few years tillthey will provide plenty ofshade, and even if it is alittle hot now Piqua neednot be ashamed, becauseshe has one of the bestAthletic parks in thestate.”

in my first year,” second-year PHS boys basketballcoach Heath Butler said.“He stepped up his gamethis year. We haven’t hada lot of players go on toplay at the college level

(recently). He is the firstone under my regime.”Holfinger knows there

are still parts of his gamehe needs to work on.“I have been at the open

gyms and there are somepretty good players,”Holfinger said. “I will be apower forward, forward. Idefinitely have to work onmy ball-handling.”Butler said Holfinger

couldn’t have made a bet-ter choice to accentuatehis rare athletic ability.“He will be a 3-4 hybrid

at Miami-Middletown,”Butler said. “It is a greatfit for Josh (Holfinger). Hecan take advantage of hisathletic ability and abilityto run the floor, which iswhat he does best. And itis somewhere he can playfor four years if it turnsout to be that great fit.”Just like Holfinger and

BEREA (AP) — Theway Brandon Weedensees it, nothing'schanged. He's still Cleve-land's starter.And he plans to keep it

that way.Sure, Weeden was

aware the Brownsworked out several topcollege quarterbacksleading into April's draft,but the team didn't pickone. He's also mindfulthat veteran JasonCampbell can beat himout if he's not on hisgame. Weeden alsoknows there are thosewho doubt he'll be anNFL success.It's up to him to prove

them wrong."I want to be the guy,"

he said.Weeden spoke Thurs-

day after the Brownswrapped up their thirdand final day of organ-ized team activities(OTAs), where all eyeswere on the second-yearQB, coming off an unevenrookie season. During a10-minute session withreporters, Weeden talkedabout his improvement,his growing confidence incoach Rob Chudzinski'soffense and his comfort inworking with new coordi-nator Norv Turner.As for the draft, Wee-

den said he didn't worryabout whether theBrowns would take aquarterback to challengeor replace him."I didn't really read

into it one way or theother," he said. "I wasn'ttoo concerned with it. Iwas up here the days be-fore the draft and thedays after preparing justlike I have every other

day. That was probablymy least concern. I wasworried about this teamgetting better and get-ting back to work."Weeden, who passed

for 3,385 yards with 14touchdowns and 17 inter-ceptions last season, hasbeen working hard on hiscraft.He's spent extra time

in the weight room, andthese days, evenings attheWeeden household in-clude he and his wife,Melanie, breaking downfilm and the Browns'playbook. Weeden sayshe's a very differentquarterback than the onewho was handed a start-ing job before camp lastyear."I know how to relate

to guys," he said. "As faras an offense, eventhough we're in Day 3now versus Day 3 lastyear, I'm way ahead ofthe curve. This offensekind of makes moresense to start with.There's a lot more upfront as far as formationsand stuff. But once youget it, you can hear a playand kind of piece it to-gether by the verbiage,plus me and my wifehave spent too manyhours studying. It's beencrazy."I've been comfortable

with what we're doingand the guys are in thesame boat."Weeden believes he's

showing Cleveland's newcoaching staff that he canbe a franchise QB, theone to finally end morethan a decade of turmoilat the game's most im-portant position. TheBrowns have had a dif-

GORDON’S NUMBERS Saturdaynight’s Southern 500 marked Jeff Gor-don’s 700th consecutive Sprint Cupstart. For good measure, Gordontacked on another landmark number.He finished third, earning the 300thtop-5 finish of his career. Only DavidPearson, Bobby Allison, Richard Pettyand Gordon have reached that number.

SPEEDS ACCELERATING The newGen-6 model has increased speeds atmany tracks this season, and ancientDarlington Raceway was no exception.In winning the pole position, Kurt Busch,who ran 181.918 mph, smashed theprevious track qualifying record of181.254 owned by Kasey Kahne.

BACK TO EARTH David Ragan, whodelivered a stunning victory twoweeks ago at Talladega Superspeed-way, wasn’t in the same zip code aweek later at Darlington. He qualified31st, was lapped early in the race andfinished a dismal 39th after engineproblems with 50 laps to go. “That’s acharacter-building weekend, forsure,” Ragan said. “You’ve just got towork hard and stay focused and keepthe right attitude. This is a very longseason, so this isn’t it.”

HAMLIN CHASING Denny Hamlin,who returned to full-time driving Sat-urday at Darlington and finished sec-ond in the Southern 500, remainstargeted on making the Chase for theSprint Cup despite the fact he missedfour races with a back injury. Hegained four positions in points to 27thSaturday and will have a shot at theChase if he moves into the top 20 andscores a win or two. “We have a huge,huge hole that we’ve got to dig out of,but there’s nothing that wins can’t fix,”Hamlin said. “That’s the bottom line.”

Tracks on Tap

By MIKE HEMBREE

The Southern 500 was a bundleof emotions for the folks at JoeGibbs Racing.

First, there was the return ofdriver Denny Hamlin, who hadmissed four full races and most ofanother with a back injury. TheDarlington Raceway event markedhis first complete race since beingsidelined.

Then there was Matt Kenseth,newly vibrant in the point stand-ings after an appeal wiped outsome of the toughest penaltiesNASCAR had levied against histeam for the use of an illegal en-gine in a win at Kansas Speedway.

Third and certainly not least,there was Kyle Busch, the driverwho did everything but win therace for JGR.

At evening’s end (and it was anunusually calm night for Darling-ton, with only five caution flagsfor a total of 25 laps), Kenseth car-ried the JGR banner highest, win-ning the race by taking the leadfrom Busch with 13 laps to go andstaying out front. It was his thirdwin of the season, giving him thelead in that category.

Hamlin finished a surprisingsecond, admitting after the racethat he was mentally and physi-cally beaten down after racing 500miles for the first time since lateMarch.

And Busch? He was sixth, a fin-ish that many drivers would wel-come after a tough night on one ofthe circuit’s most inhospitable

tracks. But Busch was in no moodto celebrate. He left the track with-out comment after a leaking tiremade his Toyota a handling night-mare over the final 15 laps. Hebrushed the wall twice while tryingto keep the car at near-full speed.

Busch led 265 of the race’s 367laps, including 187 of the first 276.No one could challenge him untilthe failing tire dropped him fromatop the pylon in the race’s twi-light laps, and then Kenseth shotto the front easily.

Kenseth, having a solid seasonin his first year with JGR, calledthe win in one of NASCAR’s clas-sic races “a dream come true.”Normally a rather sedate competi-tor, he was exuberant on the teamradio after crossing the finish linethree hours and 32 minutes afterthe start of the race.

Following Kenseth and Hamlinat the finish were Jeff Gordon,Jimmie Johnson and Kevin Har-vick. Busch was sixth, followed byCarl Edwards, Juan Pablo Mon-toya, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and RyanNewman.

The victory boosted Kensethfrom fourth to third in the champi-onship standings, behind Johnsonand Edwards.

“I don’t know that I’ve had awin that feels bigger than this atthis moment,” Kenseth said. “Thisis obviously a really historic racetrack. The Southern 500 is one ofthe most storied and historic racesanywhere, not just in NASCAR.It’s pretty cool to be able to standin Victory Lane at this place, samespot where all the other great driv-

ers stood. Pretty neat race to win,for sure.”

Kyle Busch took the lead fromhis brother, Kurt, on the 52nd lapand was in either first or secondthe rest of the way until the disap-pointment of the closing laps.

Kenseth said he understood howhis teammate felt.

“Look, we’ve all been there,” hesaid. “Man, it’s crushing when youlead all day like that and don’t comehome with a win, especially if it’ssomething that you get a flat tire orsomething. Really disappointing.

“I think everything is going to befine. I think there’s a lot to be en-couraged about there, how goodall three cars ran. They’ll be readyto race next week.”

The race was almost placid com-pared to many Darlington wreck-fests in the past. Four years ago,for example, there were 17 cautionflags. On Saturday night, noneflew over the first 124 laps, andthere was only one caution for thefirst 302 laps.

The long green-flag runs re-sulted in the lead pack puttingmany drivers a lap down early.

The Busch brothers, Kensethand Gordon were the only driversto lead laps.

Kyle was involved in a late-raceincident with challenger KaseyKahne. They raced each otherside-by-side after a restart, andKahne lost control of his car inTurn 2. Television replays were in-conclusive as to whether he wastapped by Busch’s car. Kahne andBusch have had incidents in sev-eral races this year.

It’s one of those tracks where wepractice a bunch during the day and thenrun at night, so it makes it a mystery. Ifyou’re a team that is having a good yearand you’re confident in your program,then it is a place you can run well. Thetrack is very basic, but you don’t get topractice under the race conditions, so itmakes it a challenge. Aside from thetrack itself, it’s nice for the teams tosleep in their own beds.

Classic Moments

Charlotte Motor SpeedwayThe Sprint Cup All-Star Race has gone

by many monikers, run under many for-mats and has seen more than its fairshare of classic finishes.

In 1985’s The Winston, the all-starevent’s first running, a legendary fieldcomprised of Bobby Allison, Geoffrey Bo-dine, Dale Earnhardt, Bill Elliott, HarryGant, Terry Labonte, Benny Parsons,Richard Petty, Tim Richmond, RickyRudd, Darrell Waltrip and Cale Yarbor-ough — dubbed “The Dashing Dozen”— kicked things off in style.

Terry Labonte sits on the pole byvirtue of being the series’ defendingchampion, but Harry Gant inherits thelead after pit stops. Darrell Waltrip electsto wait to take tires, and when he does,he runs down Gant, passing him on thefinal lap.

Upon crossing the finish line, Waltrip’sengine blows, leading to speculationthat the No. 11 Budweiser Chevy is run-ning a big engine and that Waltrip wasto “clutch” the car to avoid being penal-ized by NASCAR upon inspection of thepowerplant.

To this day, Waltrip assures that hisJunior Johnson prepared engine wasbuilt to crank out max power over ashort run and that the timing of the fail-ure was purely coincidental.

� Kurt Busch’s test of an In-dycar at Indianapolis MotorSpeedway May 9 could nothave gone better. The Sprint Cup regular turned a218-plus mph lap in Ryan Hunter-Reay’s AndrettiAutosport car and left IMS glowing about the ex-perience. Look for Busch to try the Indianapolis500/Coca-Cola 600 double, possibly in 2014.Busch might attempt to run an Indycar race laterthis year to better understand the cars’ workings.The logistics of running the Indy/Charlotte doubleare difficult but not insurmountable, and Busch hasenough contacts on both sides of the fence tomake it work.

� The annual Sprint All-Star Race is scheduled forSaturday at Charlotte Motor Speedway. As usual, therace’s format has undergone some massaging. Theevent, one of the richest per-mile of the season, willbe run in four 20-lap segments and a closing 10-lapsegment. After the first four segments are complete,the field will be realigned based on each driver’s av-erage finish from the first four runs. Then the fieldwill pit for four-tire stops, and the lineup for the 10-lap shootout will be determined by the order inwhich drivers return to the track after the stops. Thefield will have 19 drivers, plus one driver selected bya fan vote and two drivers who qualify from the pre-

liminary Sprint Showdown.

� It was not a good week for theNASCAR “legal” system. In sepa-

rate rulings, penalties levied against Penske Racingand Joe Gibbs Racing were reduced. NASCAR chiefappellate officer John Middlebrook trimmed thesuspensions of seven key Penske Racing person-nel. Penske had been penalized for rear-housingmodifications at Texas Motor Speedway. A three-member NASCAR appeals panel dramatically mod-ified penalties against Matt Kenseth and Joe GibbsRacing for use of an illegal engine at Kansas Speed-way. Key among the changes: Reduction of aKenseth point penalty from 50 points to 12, and re-duction of the suspension of crew chief Jason Rat-cliff from six point races to one.

� Nationwide Series regulars should be thankfulthat Kyle Busch doesn’t run with them everyweek. Busch led 107 of 147 laps in winning Fri-day night’s Nationwide race at Darlington Race-way. Busch has competed in eight Nationwideevents this year and has won five. He won Friday’srace with relative ease, finishing .935 seconds infront of second-place Elliott Sadler. Busch’s re-vival in Nationwide this season has come in carsowned by Joe Gibbs Racing, which also fieldsBusch’s Sprint Cup entries.
