Smoking ban upheld COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio’s statewide smoking ban is constitutional, the state Supreme Court ruled unanimously on Wednesday.

The court rejected claims by a Columbus tavern owner that argued the fines it was charged for violations were an illegal taking of property, vio-

lating the state’s legitimate police powers.

Ohio Justice Judith Ann Lanzinger, in authoring the opinion, wrote, “The goal of this legislation is to protect the health of the workers and other citizens of Ohio.”

She said, “It does so by regulating proprietors of public

places and places of employment in a minimally invasive way.”

Zeno’s Victorian Village had been cited 10 different times between July 2007 and September 2009 totaling $33,000. The tavern was also known as Bartec Inc., whose CEO and sole shareholder

was Richard Allen.

On behalf of Bartec and Allen, the 1851 Center for Constitutional Law argued that the smoking ban was supposed to be enforced against smokers, not businesses.

No one was injured. firefighters Anna were assisted by the Botkins, Jackson Center, Van Buren Township, New Bremen and Shelby County fire departments. Afterwards, Anna firefighters allowed the Anna Rescue Squad to house its vehicles at the fire department. contacted, When Anna Rescue Squad Chief Dustin Murphy said he was unaware of the arson investigation.

“It’s a little unnerving,” he said .

“There was nobody there” at the time of the fire, Murphy said. “Nobody was at the building. We did work on Saturday. We had class on Saturday.” Murphy said he was not at the class because he had to work at his job at KTH in St. Paris. “I don’t know who was there. It was a regular hazmat class.”

“We don’t have any problems,” Murphy said, in term of anything that could have sparked a fire. “Everything was okay.”

Murphy, whose wife Sonya is also a squad member, said all rescue squad members have access to the building, which has security code locks.

The rescue squad maintains a lot of records in the building, which Murphy said are now in Dayton being placed on digital files. noted squad He members have all been interviewed by the fire marshal. “We’re all volunteers,” he noted.

“We’re in it for the community service. We all get along real well.”

Assistant Chief Ashley Holthaus, whose husband Brian, also serves on the rescue squad, told the Daily News squad members were planning to begin remodeling the building this week. “The insulation is what saved the Holthaus building,” said. She noted everything is covered by insurance.

Holthaus said she too was unaware of an ongoing investigation into the fire.

Holthaus said she was not aware of a training session that weekend as stated by Murphy.

On the day of the fire, Holthaus said, “over 75 percent of our membership was there.

We all pulled together.”

The only ones who were not present were “off in college or working.”

Despite the arson investigation, Holthaus believes the fire was accidental.

Steve Ratermann of Ratermann Insurance Agency in Fort Loramie, part of the Ruese Insurance Group, said payment of the fire claim is in process.

Ratermann said he learned on “day one” that the fire was questionable. “I never did get the final report from the State Fire Marshal’s office. They listed as undetermined initially.”

“Whether or not it’s arson, we’re going to pay for it,” Ratermann said. “(If) somebody admits to it, the insurance company will pursue it afterwards. They’ll turn it over to their legal department.” Ratermann noted the legal department will then work to recoup the money paid out by the insurance company.

Anyone with information about the fire is asked to call Frye at 494-2117.

NATION/WORLD BRIEFLY

U.S. hacks websites TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — The State Department has launched a different sort of raid against al-Qaida — hacking into al-Qaida websites in Yemen.

In a rare public admission of the covert cyber war against extremists, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton says U.S. cyber experts based at the State Department hacked tribal websites, replacing al-Qaida propaganda that bragged about killing Americans.

“Within 48 hours, our team plastered the same sites with altered versions of the ads that showed the toll al-Qaida attacks have taken on the Yemeni people,” Clinton said Wednesday.

“Extremists are publicly venting their frustration and asking supporters not to believe everything they read on the Internet.”

Obama’s birth certificate approved PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona’s secretary of state said Wednesday that Hawaii’s official verification of President Barack Obama’s birth records meets necessary requirements, meaning the president’s name will appear on Arizona’s ballot in the fall.

The inquiry launched recently by Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett gave official weight to a long-simmering political controversy generated by those who say that Obama was not born in the U.S. and therefore is ineligible to hold the nation’s highest office.

The Obama administration attempted a year ago to dismiss the conflict by releasing his long-form birth certificate showing that he was born in Hawaii.

Talks hit snag BAGHDAD (AP) — Talks between Iran and six world powers snagged Wednesday over dueling proposals concerning Tehran’s nuclear program, a tug-of-war that pits international concerns about the Islamic Republic’s potential to build atomic weapons against enforcing crippling sanctions on its people.

The daylong back-andforth in Baghdad focused largely on whether the current enrichment level of Iran’s uranium production is a red line the U.S. and other powers will not permit for fear it could become warhead-grade material.

At stake is the threat an Iran armed with nuclear weapons could pose to its neighbors.

OUT OF THE BLUE

Bigfoot DNA sought LONDON (AP) - European researchers are planning to use new techniques to analyze DNA that could help crack the mystery of whether Bigfoot exists.

In a project announced this week, Oxford University and Lausanne Museum of Zoology scientists appealed to museums, scientists and Yeti aficionados to share hair samples thought to be from the mythical apelike creature.

New genetic tests will be done on just a few strands of hair and should be completed within weeks. Even if the sample is judged to come from an unknown species, scientists should be able to tell how closely it is related to other species, including apes or humans.

Eager Egyptians vote for president CAIRO (AP) — After a lifetime of being told who will rule them, Egyptians dove enthusiastically into the uncertainty of the Arab world’s first competitive presidential race Wednesday, wrestling with a polarizing choice between secularists rooted in Hosni Mubarak’s old autocracy and Islamists hoping to infuse the state with religion.

Waiting in long lines, voters were palpably excited at the chance to decide their country’s path in the vote, the fruit of last year’s stunning popular revolt that overthew Mubarak after 29 years in power. For the past 60 years, Egypt’s presidents ran unchallenged in yes-or-no referendums that few bothered to vote in.

Still, the choices raised worries among many about whether real democracy will emerge. The final result, likely to come after a runoff next month, will only open a new chapter of political struggle.

Mohammed Salah, 26, emerged grinning from a poll station, fresh from casting his ballot. “Before, they used to take care of that for me,” he said. “Today, I am choosing for myself.”

Medhat Ibrahim, 58, who suffers from cancer, had tears in his eyes. “I might die in a matter of months, so I came for my children, so they can live,” he said, as he waited to vote in a poor Cairo district. “We want to live better, like human be-

AN EGYPTIAN man holds up his inked finger after voting in the presidential election Wednesday outside a polling station in Old Cairo, Egypt. Nearly a year and a half after the ouster of autocratic leader Hosni Mubarak, millions of Egyptians lined up for hours outside polling stations Wednesday to freely choose a president for the first time in an election that pits old regime figures promising stability against ascending Islamists seeking to consolidate power. ings.” He later came out flash- care under the last regime. ing a finger stained with the “Now I got my revenge.” blue ink used to prevent multiAdding to the drama, this ple voting. “Mubarak’s policies election is up in the air. The regave me cancer,” he said, refer- liability of polls is uncertain, ring to the decline in health and four of the 13 candidates

have bounced around the top spots, leaving no clear frontrunner. None is likely to win outright in Wednesday and Thursday’s balloting, so the top two vote-getters enter a run-off June 16-17, with the victor announced June 21.

The two secular front-runners are both veterans of Mubarak’s regime — former prime minister Ahmed Shafiq and former foreign minister Amr Moussa.

The main Islamist contenders are Mohammed Morsi of the powerful Muslim Brotherhood and Abdel-Moneim Abolfotoh, a moderate Islamist whose inclusive platform has won him the support of some liberals, leftists and minority Christians.

The debate went right up to the doorsteps of schools around the country where poll stations were set up.

Some voters backed Mubarak-era veterans, believing they can bring stability after months of rising crime, a crumbling economy and bloody riots. Others were horrified by the thought, believing the “feloul” — or “remnants” of the regime — will keep Egypt locked in dictatorship and thwart democracy.

Islamists, particularly the Muslim Brotherhood, saw their chance to lead a country where they were repressed for decades and to implement their version of Islamic law.

Pakistan convicts doctor Details on who helped find bin Laden deaths released

PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AP) — A doctor who helped the CIA hunt down Osama bin Laden was convicted Wednesday of conspiring against the state and sentenced to 33 years in prison, adding new strains to an already deeply troubled relationship between the U.S. and Pakistan.

U.S. officials had urged Pakistan to release the doctor, who ran a vaccination program for the CIA to collect DNA and verify the al-Qaida leader’s presence at the compound in the town of Abbottabad where U.S. commandos killed him in May 2011 in a unilateral raid.

The lengthy sentence for Dr. Shakil Afridi will be taken as another sign of Pakistan’s defiance of American wishes.

It could give more fuel to critics in the United States that Pakistan — which has yet to arrest anyone for helping shelter bin Laden — should no longer be treated as an ally.

U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, who as CIA director oversaw the U.S. raid on bin Laden, said in an inter-

view aired Wednesday on the “CBS Evening News” that Afridi was “very helpful” with the operation.

“For them to take this kind of action against somebody who was helping to go after terrorism, I just think is a real mistake on their part,” he said.

The verdict came days after a NATO summit in Chicago that was overshadowed by tensions between the two countries that are threatening American hopes of an orderly end to the war in Afghanistan and withdrawal of its combat troops by 2014.

Islamabad was invited in expectation it would reopen supply lines for NATO and U.S. troops to Afghanistan it has blocked for nearly six months to protest U.S. airstrikes that killed 24 Pakistani troops on the Afghan border. But it did not reopen the routes, and instead repeated demands for an apology from Washington for the airstrikes.

Pakistan’s treatment of Afridi since his arrest following the bin Laden raid has in

many ways symbolized the gulf between Washington and Islamabad.

In the United States and other Western nations, Afridi was viewed as a hero who had helped eliminate the world’s most-wanted man. But Pakistan army and spy chiefs were outraged by the raid, which led to international suspicion that they had been harboring the al-Qaida chief.

In their eyes, Afridi was a traitor who had collaborated with a foreign spy agency in an illegal operation on its soil.

Afridi, in his 50s, was detained sometime after the raid, but the start of his trial was never publicized.

He was tried under the Frontier Crimes Regulations, or FCR — the set of laws that govern Pakistan’s semiautonomous tribal region.

Human rights organizations have criticized the FCR for not providing suspects the right to legal representation, to present material evidence, or to cross-examine witnesses.

Verdicts are handled by a government official in consultation with a council of elders.

Inquiry hears of wider Secret Service misbehavior WASHINGTON (AP) — Senators investigating the Secret Service prostitution scandal said Wednesday that dozens of reported episodes of misconduct by agents point to a culture of carousing in the agency and urged Director Mark Sullivan to get past his insistence that the romp in Cartagena was a one-time mistake.

The disconnect between the senators and Sullivan reappeared again and again throughout the two-hour hearing, even as the Secret Service chief for the first time apologized for the incident that tarnished the elite presidential protection force. By the end, Sullivan’s job appeared secure even as new details emerged that left little doubt, senators said, that a pattern of sexual misbehavior had taken root in the agency.

“He kept saying over and over again that he basically does think this was an isolated incident and I don’t think he has any basis for that conclusion,” said Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, the senior Republican on the Homeland Security panel that heard Sullivan’s first public accounting of the episode.

“For the good of the Secret Service,” added Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut, the panel chairman, “he’s got to assume that what happened in Cartagena was not an isolated incident or else it will happen again.” Still, Sullivan insisted repeatedly that in his 29-year Secret Service career he had never heard anyone say

that misconduct was condoned, implicitly or otherwise.

“I just do not think that this is something that is systemic within this organization,” Sullivan said.

The misconduct became public after a dispute over payment between a Secret Service agent and a prostitute at a Cartagena hotel on April 12. The Secret Service was in the Colombian coastal resort for a Latin American summit before Obama’s arrival. Twelve employees were implicated, eight of them ousted, three cleared of serious misconduct and one is being stripped of his security clearance. Sullivan said two who initially resigned now are fighting for their jobs back.

“These individuals did some really dumb things,” Sullivan told the Senate panel. “I’m hoping I can convince you that it isn’t a cultural issue.”

He didn’t make much progress on that front, as senators offered fresh evidence of what they considered reckless behavior. Lieberman said 64 allegations or complaints of sexual misconduct were made against Secret Service employees in the last five years.

Three of those, Lieberman said, were complaints of inappropriate relationships with a foreign national and one of “nonconsensual intercourse,” on which he didn’t have enough information to elaborate.

SALEM, Ore. (AP) — Two little girls, not yet old enough for kindergarten, were shot to death. Their infant sister was found asphyxiated.

All were discovered in a burning house with their 26year-old mother, also a victim of a gunshot wound.

Police on Wednesday began releasing details of what they say was a murder-suicide at the Salem home on Tuesday.

Authorities said the children’s father was found dead in a car 80 miles to the south.

He is considered a person of interest in the slayings but his name was not released.

Firefighters who entered the burning home discovered the bodies of infant Sefi Lazukin, 1-year-old Zoe Lazukin, 3-year-old Angelica Lazukin and the children’s mother, Natalya Lazukin.

They were an “absolutely wonderful family” with a close group of friends and strong relationships with extended family in Salem, said Peter Ignatovich, the Slavic Christian Church administrator who said he knew them well. They were at church most Sundays, he said.

He was skeptical the incident was a murder-suicide, noting that the police have not said conclusively that the father killed his family or himself.

“It was really disturbing to watch the news portray this monstrous kind of event,” Ignatovich said. “I would not see him do it in any way. He loved his kids, loved his wife.”

Authorities have not said if a weapon was discovered in the house they believe was intentionally set on fire.

Salem, the state capital, is about 50 miles south of Portland.

Clara King, who lives in an apartment about 50 yards from the home that burned, said she was awake in the middle of the night and heard a woman screaming, “like she was being hurt.”

“I thought it was the neighbor lady having a party or something,” King said. “I went out there to say something, but nobody was there.”

Some residents of the working-class neighborhood say it is a rough area. It’s not unusual to hear screams or fights in the middle of the night, King said.

Local nurse nominated for state health care worker of the year Phyllis Evans, registered nurse at Wilson Memorial Hospital, was recently n o m i nated for the Ohio Hospital Associat i o n ’s (OHA) Evans 2012 AlE. bert Dykes Healthcare Worker of the Year Award. Sixty-two nominees, including Evans, from hospitals from across the state will be recognized at the 2012 OHA recognition banquet June 12.

The Albert E. Dyckes Healthcare Worker of the Year Award is given each year to one Ohio

caregiver who personifies a leader who gives back to the community, routinely goes beyond the call of duty and has overcome odds to succeed.

Evans was chosen from a number of nominations, all worthy applicants for their service to Wilson and the community.

After Evans graduated from Springfield Community Hospital School of Nursing, she accepted a job at Wilson Memorial Hospital. She is still serving the hospital after 45 years.

“Phyllis is devoted, reliable and capable,” said Dr. Robert J. McDevitt, general surgeon. “She does what she’s supposed to do, but then she does a lot more.”

For the majority of her 45 years at Wilson she has Memorial worked in the surgery department, starting out as a scrub nurse. Over the years she has served as a circulating nurse, prepping patients and equipment getting needed by the surgeon, plus keeping records of the procedures.

In 1992, Evans advanced to become manager of the surgery department. Five years later, in 1997, she accepted her current posias sterile tion processing/operating room materials manager.

In sterile processing, Evans orders special equipment for physicians and negotiates for capital equipment. She

also organizes new physicians who come in.

Evans grew up on a 240-acre farm and graduated from Fairlawn High School in 1964.

Thomas Boecker, president and CEO of Wilson Memorial Hospital, said, “Phyllis has seen, and adapted to, much change at Wilson Memorial Hospital.

But one thing that hasn’t changed over the years is her stability and dependability. Our hospital has been fortunate to have a healthcare worker such as her.”

Evans and her husband, Doug, reside in Anna. The couple has been married for 45 years. They have two children and four grandchildren.

Sheriff speaks to Kiwanis Club

YOURSELF GO

Shelby County Sheriff John Lenhart was the guest speaker at the May 9 meeting of the Kiwanis Club of Sidney.

Lenhart stated that being a county sheriff is the toughest job he has ever held. In his first nine days in office, he reduced his budget by $345,000. The sheriff ’s office is currently operating on a 2001 budget, he said. He said there are now fewer chiefs and more Indians. He also instituted cross training for his staff. Not only has this helped reduce staff, there is now more teamwork.

The sheriff ’s office is responsible for the operation of the dog pound.

This has worked out well as it helps take a “bite”

out as crime, Lenhart remarked, with tongue planted firmly in cheek.

The pound has one fulltime and three part-time employees.

Among other things the sheriff is responsible for are notices of foreclosure, Web checks and concealed weapons requests. Foreclosures decreased from 346 in 2010 to 217 in 2011. From 2010 to 2011, Web checks increased from 883 to 946 and concealed weapons requests increased from 258 to 327.

The food budget at the jail has decreased from $140,000 to $105,000.

The sheriff has also started a one-acre jail garden growing vegetables which are used to feed the inmates.

Prior to Lenhart’s remarks, President Heather Pollard called the meeting to order. The invocation was given by Ralph Bornhorst and the group was lead in song

by Bornhorst, accompanied by DiAnne Karas on the piano. Jake Romaker led the fun-andgames activities which included various trivia questions.

Election of officers for 2012-2013 was also held.

SMOKING bar’s attorney, called the ruling discouraging. He said it means “there’s really no meaningful limit on the regulation of private property in Ohio by the government.”

Thompson said it is unlikely the center would appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court on a federal propertyrights issue, even though Ohio’s is the first state Supreme Court to rule on that issue with regard to a smoking ban. He said Ohio has some of the strongest property protection laws in the country.

“So we felt that if there was anywhere we could win, it was with bars in Ohio,” he said.

Thompson said he expects the fight to move now to the state Legislature, where a bill is already in the works to exempt bars from the ban.

Overwhelmingly approved by voters in 2006, Ohio’s ban prohibits smoking in most indoor public places.

Penalties for proprietors violating the ban range from a warning letter for a first violation to fines of $100 to $2,500 for subsequent violations. Fines can be doubled for intentional violations.

Justices said there was evidence that the bar tacitly allowed smoking and had plastic cups partially filled with water that were placed around the bar

as ash trays. They said the complaints were against the bar, not individual smokers.

The opinion further noted the bar had access to an appeals process and did not take advantage of it eight of 10 times.

Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine, legal counsel to the Ohio Department of Health, noted that Zeno’s currently owes more than $40,000 for its repeated smoking ban violations.

“This is great news for the health of Ohioans and for the democratic process,” DeWine said in a state“The Ohio ment.

Supreme Court has upheld a law passed by a statewide majority of Ohio voters, and patrons and employees of Ohio businesses will continue to enjoy surroundings that are safer because they are smoke-free.”

Lanzinger’s opinion noted that the bar argued “that prohibiting smoking in an adultsonly liquor-licensed establishment, such as Zeno’s, is unduly oppressive and amounts to a taking.” She said that was “an as-applied challenge” that suggested their unique circumstances made the law unconstitutional for them.

The legal issue was disregarded because it had not been raised in earlier phases of the case.

Puppies find new homes TOLEDO (AP) — Six bulldog-mix puppies found in a suitcase next to a trash bin in Ohio now have new homes.

Winners of a lottery to adopt the puppies and their mother picked them up at an animal shelter near Toledo on Tuesday.

EAST LIVERPOOL (AP) — An eastern Ohio man recently separated from his longtime girlfriend set himself and his house on fire two months ago, killing him and his three young sons, investigators have concluded.

The March 17 arson was ruled a murder-suicide this week after investigators determined that 37-year-old Ulrick locked the Estimot house’s front and back doors, poured gasoline throughout the home and set himself on fire, East Liverpool Police Chief John Lane said.

The Columbiana County Coroner said Estimot and the boys — 11year-old Trey, 7-year-old Terrell and 5-year-old Trenton — died of smoke inhalation.

Lane said the fire happened a day after Estimot and the girlfriend, the mother of the two younger boys, ended their relationship.

Estimot gave no indication to others about his plans, but he expressed concern to his girlfriend, Angela Latshaw, about being able to raise the boys, Lane said.

“He was afraid of being alone without her,” Lane said.

Police said the fire began in the living room, where the bodies of Estimot and his youngest son were found. The two older boys’ bodies were found in an upstairs bedroom.

A melted plastic gas can was found near the top of the stairs. Gasoline

PIQUA — When expecting mother Samantha Fair began having contractions early Tuesday morning, she called her two sisters, Jen McGlaughlin and Tricia Berry, as they had planned to take Fair to the Upper Valley Medical Center.

That was the plan, anyway.

“As we were driving the baby was coming,” McGlaughlin said. “By the time we reached County Road 25A the baby’s head was out.”

McGlaughlin, 37, was driving as Fair, 22, was sitting in the passenger seat as she entered labor. Meanwhile, Berry, 27, sat in the back of the vehicle.

“My other sister said, ‘close your legs and don’t push,’” McLaughlin recalled the hectic scene.

Open my eyes, Lord faith that is prayer. We realize that we need God’s help to see our relationship with God and others.

Secondly, as Bartimaeus kept calling out to Jesus, we need to continue in our prayers to Jesus in spite of barriers that try to prevent us from calling out for God’s help. We become frustrated and discouraged.

Others tell us to give up.

We expect God to answer our prayers immediately.

Our vision is blinded. We need God’s help to open our eyes.

We also need to listen and to realize that God calls us to him through others. We are brothers and sisters in Christ. We are all one body in Christ as Paul says.

Therefore we need to listen for God’s answers and also be a proclaimer of God’s love and forgiveness to others.

As Jesus healed Bar-

timaeus’ blindness, he told him to go; your faith has made you well. The healing came through God’s love and trust in his grace. As God answers our prayers, we too, are told to go with God’s love, forgiveness, and grace to share with others.

Prayer brings wholeness to us. It gives purpose to our lives and faith. With God’s help, we have our eyes opened and our mission as followers of Jesus before us.

Our prayer for each day is to ask God to open our eyes to the people that he has given us to love and share with them God’s message of love and forgiveness.

May God give us his strength and peace each day.

Michigan Catholics sue over birth control mandate LANSING, Mich. (AP) — The Michigan Catholic Conference is suing Obama administration officials over the mandate requiring most employers to cover birth control.

The conference said Monday that the mandate violates religious freedom by requiring many religiously affiliated hospitals, schools and charities to comply.

President Barack Obama offered to soften the mandate to accommodate religious groups, but U.S. Roman Catholic bishops say the change doesn’t go far enough.

Three charged in carjacking of pastor

BY DAVID N. GOODMAN Associated Press DETROIT (AP) — Three young men were arraigned Sunday in the assault and carjacking of popular Detroit pastor and gospel singing icon Marvin Winans.

The office of Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy identified the suspects as Detroit residents Montoya Givens and Christopher Moorehead, both 20, and Brian K. Young, 18, of Macomb County’s Clinton Township. They are charged with carjacking, unarmed robbery and conspiracy, said Maria Miller, Worthy’s spokeswoman.

The charges carry up to life in prison.

The men appeared in Detroit’s 36th District Court and were ordered held on $200,000 bonds.

Their preliminary examinations, in which a judge decides where there’s enough evidence for the case to go to trial, are June 1.

A prosecutor’s spokeswoman said Sunday she didn’t think the defendants had lawyers yet.

Winans, 54, was attacked Wednesday afternoon while pumping gas in Detroit. The robbers took his sport utility ve-

hicle, Rolex watch, cash and credit cards.

“This is just an example of the diligence that our officers put forth when investigating criminal cases,” police Chief Ralph Godbee said in a statement Sunday.

Worthy said she also was pleased with closing the case, but got in a dig at the effectiveness of Detroit police. She said she was “buoyed by the fact that this case was well investigated by the police and that we were able to charge this case quickly.

However, with the proper resources this could be done in all cases.”

She also said the city should be concerned about an increase in crime, especially offenses that never make it into police records.

Godbee said he agreed with Worthy that “reported crime … has slightly increased.” He called on citizens to make sure crimes are reported and that they cooperate with investigators in solving solve them.

Winans sustained bruises and scrapes and was treated at a hospital and released. He is pastor of the 4,500-member Perfecting Church and delivered singer Whitney Houston’s eulogy in February.

Issue #34 - May 24, 2012

Out of Ohio BY: COLLEEN KINNINGER As some students are dealing with the laziness right before summer, the senior class also has to deal with the stress of finally deciding on a college. Some were deciding whether to attend an out-of-state college or an in-state one. This first option was the choice made by six members of the senior class: Nick Boshonek, Colleen Kinninger, Solomon King-White, Katie Williams, Katie Catanzarite, and Victoria King.

Boshonek has elected to attend the University of Missouri, in Columbia, Missouri, majoring in industrial engineering.

He chose to go out of state because “it made financial sense. I also wanted to be a Tiger!”

Kinninger is attending Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana, majoring in Public Relations. “I loved the college’s atmosphere and it has a great program for my major,” she said.

King-White is attending the University of Kentucky in Lexington, Kentucky, majoring in pharmacy. He chose UK because, “It is one of the top pharmacy schools and it is a good distance away.”

Williams is attending the University of Mississippi in Oxford, Mississippi, majoring in Biology/Pre-Med. “I chose Ole Miss because I wanted to be in the South. I visited Ole Miss and really loved it. It’s an hour and 20 minutes from where I grew up so I was familiar with the area. I have family close by so that will be nice. I also really liked the atmosphere of the school,” she said.

Catanzarite is attending Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, majoring in Biology/Pre-Med. “I want to be away from home and the educational opportunities are really good,” she stated.

King is attending the Illinois Institute of Art – Chicago, in Chicago, Illinois. She will be majoring in fashion and design.

She said, “Chicago is full of energy and has a great market in which designers can work. The city is full of inspiration.”

We wish these six seniors the best of luck as they venture across the country to start their college careers.

Our future leaders

The final chapter

BY: MEGHAN BENNETT Our country is always looking to prepare the next generation of leaders who will some day be governing our communities.

The American Legion contributes to this effort through the Buckeye Girls State and Buckeye Boys State programs. Lehman Catholic has young men and women represent our school at these events every summer.

Buckeye Boys State was started in 1936 and is sponsored by the American Legion, the nation’s largest veterans’ organization.

This program is sponsored locally through the Ohio American Legion. At Buckeye Boys State, 1,200 young men learn about city, county, and state government through a non-partisan objective educational approach. This program also helps to build life-long friendships.

The Buckeye Girls State program was started in 1947 in Washington D.C by the American Legion Auxiliary. The program is a practical application of Americanism and good citizenship. The whole goal of the program is to teach young women to love and appreciate God and her country. The 1,000 delegates gain citizenship training, work together, and become informed about their duties, privileges, rights and responsibilities of American citizenship so that they may function fully within our government.

Attending Boys State from Lehman will be Michael Jacob, Mitchell Bosse, Pierce Bennett, and Brad Kaeck. Attending Girls State will be Ellie Waldsmith, Kathryn Rossman, Andrea Thobe, and Hayley Baker.

BY: NICK BOSHONEK Now that I am writing my last article for the Cavalier Crier, it is just starting to hit me that high school is almost over. While many seniors are happy to finally leave Lehman, I can honestly say I will miss it. Lehman was a second home to all of the seniors, whether it was for sports, musical, or any other time-consuming extra-curricular. It has benefited all seniors educationally, emotionally, and spiritually.

William Duritsch (Curly) said, “Lehman has taught me lessons about my faith and morals that will last me a lifetime. I will, of course, miss my friends, as well as all of the awesome teachers I had. I recommend Lehman simply for the fact that it is awesome. I will miss Lehman for its great opportunities like the four years of show choir and musical I did.”

The hours of doing endless homework were definitely not fun, but we have shared great memories like Kairos, Prom, and just being around friends every day. Whether we think Lehman is like a prison or we cannot fathom leaving, we will always remember the happiest and life-changing experiences we had at this school.

Kerrie Josefovsky said, “Lehman has prepared me for the real world most by challenging me mentally and spiritually. The challenges that Lehman has put in front of me will help me overcome the challenges I face in the future. Lehman educates you - mind, body, and soul.”

As seniors, we start to see what direction our lives are going.

We will head our different ways when college starts, but we will never lose sight of how we got to that point. We have all made mistakes during high school, but it is how we handled ourselves afterwards that really shows who we are as people. Lehman has shaped us to be who we are today.

Colleen Kinninger said, “I have had some amazing teachers at Lehman that have pushed me to learn more about what they are teaching, who I am as a person, and my faith. They have definitely prepared me to take on the world. I will miss all of the friends I have made in my four years at Lehman, the faith-filled classrooms, and especially Kairos, because it changed my life in so many ways. I would definitely advise future students to take advantage of all the opportunities that Lehman offers and to get involved as much as you can. You never know what will change your life.

As a member of the Cavalier Crier staff for three years, I got to see Lehman, and all it does for its students, from every angle.

I have made some of my best friends while in Journalism and I got to have one of my favorite teachers, Mrs. Schweller-Snyder, every day. Some of my best memories are centered around this class and the people in it. My advice to current and future Lehman students is to not take Lehman, your friends, or teachers for granted and have a positive attitude toward what Lehman offers you in every aspect.

Lehman Catholic congratulates the Class of 2012 and wishes all students and teachers a safe and relaxing summer.

LOCAL NEWS HOROSCOPE

BY FRANCIS DRAKE What kind of day will tomorrow be?

To find out what the stars say, read the forecast given for your birth sign.

For Friday, May 25, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Don’t worry if you seem to waste a lot of time daydreaming today. Actually, not only are you daydreaming, you’re in a bit of a fog! Relax; so is everyone else.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Avoid making important financial decisions today. Something is fuzzy and confusing when it comes to cash flow and shopping. Keep your receipts; count your change.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Because you’re mentally tired today, avoid work that requires attention to detail and clarity of mind.

Don’t worry; this vague fuzziness is gone by tomorrow.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Don’t listen to gossip and rumors today. And don’t worry about secondguessing yourself, either. This is one of those days where it’s tough to feel confident.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Try to be extra clear in all your communication with others, especially in group situations. Not only are people confused today, some are playing fast and loose with the truth. Not good.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) This is a very poor day for important discussions with authority figures. Double-check all instructions that are given to you. Assume that you don’t know everything. Ask for clarification.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Confusion about higher education, travel plans or anything that has to do

with medicine, the law, publishing and the media are likely today. Be aware of this!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) This is an extremely poor day to decide how to divide or share something, especially regarding inheritances, taxes, debt and shared property. Lies, misinformation and confusion are everywhere.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) If you need to have an important discussion with a partner or close friend, today is not the day. People are too quick to dodge the truth. Perhaps someone has something to hide.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) It’s hard to get going at work today.

You feel like you’re in a fog. Don’t worry; you’re not alone. (Just look around you.)

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Parents should be extra vigilant about their children today, because there could be confusion regarding your kids, especially with poisons and infections. Keep your eyes open.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Don’t be upset if family discussions go haywire today. It’s easy to get your wires crossed, because it’s almost as if there’s too much static in the air. People are confused, tired and foggyminded.

YOU BORN TODAY You’re a survivor. You’re resilient, resourceful and highly adaptable, and you will always fight for what you want. You have very clear ideas about what you think life should be all about; however, you are always idealistic. In particular, you value personal honor. Good news! The coming year could be one of the most powerful years of your life. Dream big!

Homestead exemption deadline approaching June 4 final day to apply According to Shelby County Auditor, Denny York, the deadline for filing new Homestead Exemption applications for the 2012 tax year (taxes payable in 2013) is June 4.

The Homestead exemption is a property tax break generally available on homes owned and occupied as of Jan. 1 by persons more than 65 years of age or those who are totally disabled.

The exemption is based upon the abatement of the first $25,000 of market valuation of a home and will

result in a reduction of tax liability in the range of $250 to approximately $400 per year depending upon the effective tax rate in a particular taxing district. emphasized York that this sign-up period is for new applicants only. Those persons who are already on the Homestead program do not need to reapply at this time. All 2011 tax year recipients should have received a mailing earlier this year, which asked them to report certain types of changes in their status relating

DEGRAFF — From May 2-4, the 17 members of the Riverside FFA Chapter attended the State FFA Convention held in Columbus.

The members gained knowledge on leadership during sessions, careers in agriculture and accepted awards while attending the convention.

DR. WALLACE: My father is a good provider.

I love him very much, but when he gets mad at my mother, my brother or me, he swears and says some nasty things.

We’ve tried everything we can to get him to stop swearing, but nothing has worked. Is there anything you can do to help us? He really is a good fellow, and would almost be perfect if it weren’t for his “blue tongue.” — Autumn, Houston, Texas AUTUMN: Just printing your letter and having your father read it should bring a vast improvement in his vocabulary. Sometimes the power of the pen can solve a difficult problem.

Dr. Robert Wallace welcomes questions from readers. Although he is unable to reply to all of them individually, he will answer as many as possible in this column.

On their way to Columbus the members toured Parker Cylinder in St Marys and toured the Anthony Thomas candy factory.

While at convention, Karli Lump performed on stage, singing the song “Boondocks” during the second session and at the talent show contest. Morgan Robi-

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: This is my second letter concerning my wife and her past problem with hives.

Some years ago we lived in a house with a converted coal furnace.

She would break out with hives all over her body, and her lips, tongue and throat would swell. The problems started when cold weather set in and stopped in warm

weather. Allergy tests revealed only an allergy to dust. The doctor thought her outbreaks were due to the cold.

However, the hives stopped completely when we moved from that house to one with a gas furnace. They have never returned.

Later I read a medical article about people who are allergic to coal dust. I would appreciate it very much if you would respond to this second request with your opinion. — E.C. ANSWER: I can’t add to your theory. I can say only that I, along with you and your wife, am greatly relieved that her hive affliction is over. I haven’t been able to find a single reference to the coal-dust connection.

All the same, your story deserves recognition. Maybe it’s more common than is realized. I’ll hear from other readers if it is, and I’ll let you know.

AND ENDS

LAS VEGAS (AP) — It’s been a long, strange trip for what appears to be several tiny chips of lunar rock that found their way into a casino mogul's hands after being collected by the first men on the moon.

If they’re real, they were plucked from the lunar surface by Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, given by thenPresident Richard Nixon to former Nicaraguan dictator Anastasio Somoza Debayle, pilfered by a Costa Rican mercenary soldier-turned Contra rebel, traded to a Bap-

tist missionary for unknown items, then sold to a flamboyant Las Vegas casino owner who squirreled them away in a safety deposit box.

Now, more than 2 1/2 years after Bob Stupak's death, an attorney for his estate has sent to NASA officials in Houston a tabletop display featuring the four gray chips the size of grains of rice. They're magnified in a Lucite dome about as big around as a U.S. 50-cent piece set with a small blue and white Nicaraguan flag.

Combined, the chips weigh 0.05 grams.

Frazier connected for his first game-ending homer on the second pitch from Cristhian Martinez (2-1), who came on to start the ninth. It was a fitting ending for a series that has been decided by solo homers — 11 in all during the three games.

Aroldis Chapman (4-0)

kept his ERA perfect by fanning two of the three he faced in the ninth. The left-hander hasn't allowed an earned run in 24 1-3 innings, ascending to the closer's role.

Indians 4, Tigers 2 CLEVELAND (AP) — Jason Kipnis had three hits and scored the go-ahead run in the eighth inning as the Cleveland Indians beat the Detroit Tigers 4-2 Wednesday night.

Kipnis singled off the glove of Phil Coke (1-1) with one out and took third on a double into the left-field corner by Asdrubal Cabrera.

Hafner then Travis grounded to first baseman

Prince Fielder, whose low throw handcuffed catcher Gerald Laird for an error as Kipnis dove into the plate to score. Carlos Santana's sacrifice fly scored Cabrera.

Vinnie Pestano (2-0) got out of a bases-loaded, none-out jam in the top half.

Chris Perez pitched a perfect ninth for his 15th consecutive save after blowing a lead in the season opener April 5.

Cleveland has won two straight over the Tigers after Detroit took the final 10 meetings a year ago. The Indians lead the AL Central, while the third-place Tigers have lost five of seven and dropped to five games back.

Detroit stranded 10 runners and twice left the bases jammed.

Joe Smith got Miguel Cabrera to ground out to end the seventh with the bases loaded. In the eighth, Pestano struck out Jhonny Peralta, got Ramon Santiago on a weak grounder that forced a runner at home, and fired a called third strike past pinchhitter Alex Avila on a 3-2 count.

That extended the righthander's team relief record to 23 straight outings with at least one strikeout.

Hafner's two-run homer in the sixth off Tigers starter Doug Fister tied it at 2.

FAIRLAWN’S COLE Cummings lets fly with an attempt in the discus at the Division III Regional track meet in Troy Wednes-

Ike, Cummings first in regional Houston senior pole vaulter Brandon Ike had been one inch from the school record (14-1) for a long time — but Ike soared past that mark in winning the regional.

Ike cleared 14-4 to win the regional title — and did it with a clean slate all the way through.

“I didn't have a miss until 14-8,” Ike said with a big smile. “I finally got the school record. I was on a heavier, stiffer pole. I knew if I could get on that pole, good things were going to happen.”

Ike was using it for the second time in competition.

“I used it at the SCL meet too,” he said. “I was very confident at 14-4.”

There was more than record at state. Both Ike and Mitch Kremer of Marion Local had cleared 14-0, but Ike was the only one to do 14-4, soaring over the bar on his first attempt.

“I knew when I made that I was going to win,” he said. “It felt great.”

And he was very close at 14-8, going above the bar on two of his three attempts before landing on it on the way down.

“That's the goal for state,” he said. “I think being over there last year is going to help me a lot. I am going to be a lot more comfortable.”

Ike was one of two County athletes to bring home regional championships.

Fairlawn’s Olivia Cummings, a state qualifier in both the shot and discus last season, is halfway toward a repeat after winning the shot put competition Wednesday.

Her heave of 40-1.75 was the only one to eclipse the 40foot mark.

Minster’s Derek Collins won the long jump with a distance of 21-4.5.

He will be joined at state

INDYCAR DRIVER Marco Andretti adjusts his hat after he qualified on the first day of qualifications for the Indianapolis 500 auto race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Indianapolis.

INDYCAR DRIVER Graham Rahal is shown after he qualified for the Indianapolis 500 auto race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Indianapolis Saturday.

Rahal, Andretti happy to talk up rivalry pre-Indy NEW YORK (AP) — Marco Andretti fistbumped Graham Rahal on his way out of an Indianapolis 500 promotional event, a much friendlier encounter than their bump on the track at Long Beach last month.

The two young drivers with the famous racing names don’t want to be too civil, though. They know their rivalry is good for a sport craving attention and they are happy to talk it up.

“I’ve got the ultimate respect for him, and I’d say it goes both ways,” Rahal said Monday. “Of course, we clashed at Long Beach, and I can guarantee it’s not going to be the last time.

There’s always going to be two sides to the story.

I still don’t agree with what happened, but that’s the way these things go.

“But at least people are paying attention to it, if nothing else. In this case I come out looking like the bad guy, which is cool. Someone’s got to be the bad guy. It will go full circle. It gets people

writing about it and gets it out there. To a certain extent, that’s what we need. Really the case is there’s no bad publicity.”

This is the first IndyCar season in several years without Danica Patrick, who while only mildly successful was one of the series’ most popular drivers.

On April 15, Andretti’s car launched briefly into the air and spun into a tire barrier after hitting Rahal from behind. IndyCar officials ruled Rahal was guilty of blocking and initiating avoidable contact and placed him on probation for six races. Defending himself in Long Beach before the punishment came down, Rahal implied that Andretti doesn’t take responsibility for mistakes.

“What’s Marco’s last name?” Rahal asked.

“I’ve said enough.”

That led to Mario Andretti challenging Rahal on Twitter over the comments about his grandson. The racing great wrote: “That insult includes me. You insulted me to the world & I re-

sponded.”

The two cleared the air over the phone the next day, but that won’t stop the occasional jab between the two families.

“There is that inner competition that you have with the other names. ... My dad and his dad used to beat the crap out of each other, and we’re going to do the same,” Marco Andretti said Monday.

Bobby Rahal won the 1986 Indianapolis 500, three years before his son was born. The Andretti family has been chasing its second title ever since Mario took the checkered flag in 1969, with near-misses by both Marco and his father, Michael. qualified Andretti fourth for Indy this year, Rahal 12th.

“It’s good to have rivalries and we’ve got definitely some characters capable of holding both ends of the roles required for that,” said Andretti’s teammate, James Hinchcliffe, who was at Texas Motor Speedway on Monday as

IndyCar drivers fanned out across the country to promote Sunday’s race.

“I think it’s phenomenal to have two American racing families, iconic racing families, competing against each other today just like they were back in the ‘80s,” Hinchcliffe added.

Just in the 1980s, there was no Twitter to exchange zingers between races.

“You can always have a difference in opinions,” Marco Andretti said.

“You can have anything to say about each other as long as you have that mutual respect for each other. That’s a good oldfashioned rivalry.”

IndyCar fines 13 teams $70,000 for six rules infractions.

Eleven teams including Briscoe, HunterReay and points leader Will Power received $15,000 fines for violating technical rules regarding the braking systems on the new Dallara DW12.

Penske Racing president Tim Cindric indicated in a series of tweets Sunday night that the brake rule was changed after last season’s finale at Las Vegas.

He admitted the brake pads on Power’s car were wrong, but said on Twitter it was “out of habit.”

He denied Briscoe’s brake pads were wrong because Briscoe made his qualifying run after Power, and tweeted “why would we make mistake twice?? No way!!”

The steepest penalty was a $50,000 fine issued to Fan Force United, which is fielding a car for ex-Formula One driver Jean Alesi in next Sunday’s Indy 500. The team violated a weight rule, which is intended to create parity among all drivers in the series.

Fan Force United was one of the other teams also fined an additional $15,000 for the technical

violations, bringing the total to $65,000 for a team that is making its season debut at Indy.

Hunter-Reay’s team will pay an additional $20,000 for not following officials’ calls and using cooling devices not approved by the league, bringing his total to $35,000. Hinchcliffe was fined $20,000 for the same violations. Marco Andretti drew a $25,000 in fines.

Others facing $15,000 fines were JR Hildebrand, E.J. Viso and Rubens Barrichello of KV Racing Technology, Scott Dixon of Target Chip Ganassi, Justin Wilson of Dale Coyne Racing and Ana Beatriz of Andretti Autosport.

Mike Conway of A.J. Foyt Racing was fined $10,000 for using parts that were not approved

by IndyCar, Dallara, IndyCar’s chassis manufacturer, or another approved supplier.

Before Sunday, IndyCar officials had issued only one other fine this season — $5,000 to Tony Kanaan’s team for breaking a rule on fuel cell limits.

Cars will not be back on the track until Friday’s final practice session of the month.

what a personality like Wallace could do for the Hall and NASCAR’s continued growth.

“We need people who can represent the Hall of Fame now,” said Hall of Fame member and voter Ned Jarrett.

Still, Wallace was third among inductees at 52 percent of the vote behind Thomas and Wood, who received 57 percent. Owens was next at 50 percent with Baker and Fireball Roberts tying at 39 percent. A revote was done — the first time that’s happened in four Hall of Fame classes — and Baker took the final spot.

Wallace said he was honored to be nominated and was comfortable waiting his turn behind others.

“I’m total surprised. I really am,” he said. “My numbers are one thing and the wins, that’s there. But the names, you think of Benny Parsons, you think of Freddy Lorenzen, Fireball Roberts and Wendell Scott, these are guys I grew up listening to.”

Wallace thought those were the people who would get in.

“And I was like, I made it? I don’t know if I’m going to sleep tonight,” he said.

Wallace is ninth on the career victory list.

He was a master of the short tracks with 25 of his victories coming at Bristol, Martinsville, North Wilkesboro and Richmond.

“I’m just humbled, I really am,” he said.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indianapolis Motor Speedway might have set a track record Sunday.

Series officials levied $275,000 in fines to 13 different teams, including pole-sitter Ryan Briscoe. In all, there were 18 infractions.

Track historian Donald Davidson said all of the numbers were believed to be a one-day record even though the series has not always announced infractions or fines. But none of the 13 drivers were assessed grid penalties, meaning their starting spots in next Sunday’s race will not be affected.

Series officials declined to comment after issuing the penalties that were handed down about 30 minutes after the second and final day of qualifying ended at the 2.5-mile oval, and most of the teams had already left the track when the announcement was made.

All three cars that qualified for the front row of next Sunday’s race were punished.

Briscoe, James Hinchcliffe and Ryan HunterReay must pay a combined total of

Wallace, the 1989 series champion who won 55 races, headed the group of five picked as Wednesday NASCAR’s newest Hall of Famers. The others selected were Leonard Wood, Herb Thomas, Cotton Owens and Buck Baker.

Wood was a famed member of the Wood Brothers teams whose brother, Glen, was picked for the hall last year.

Thomas was one of NASCAR’s first superstar drivers, Owens a success as driver and owner, and Baker is 14th on the victory list with 46.

But it was Wallace, the sharp-tongue, quickwitted driver turned TV analyst, who promised to keep promoting the sport and the hall to anyone who’ll listen.

“I can tell you what, I’m not going to run second to Darrell Waltrip. I can tell you that,” Wallace said.

NASCAR chairman Brian France said the fourth class was the hardest so far to select.

Voters said there was a divide between those panelists eager to honor the sports’ pioneers and those understanding

ROWS OF dirty, tattered seats ring the Astrodome Monday in Houston. Once touted as the Eighth Wonder of the World, the nation's first domed stadium sits quietly gathering dust and items for storage.

Astrodome crumbles, fades, fate undecided HOUSTON (AP) — The Astrodome was once the envy of other cities, a fully air-conditioned facility with a translucent roof that kept out the heat and humidity, gave synthetic grass its name, made Houston a sports entertainment destination and sparked the imaginations of baseball lovers, concert-goers and some of the country’s most creative minds.

Walt Disney, according to local legend, was so blown away when he stood under the dome that he dubbed it the Eighth Wonder of the World.

Then came the retractable roof, and the Astrodome, in its heyday the proud host to everyone from Muhammad Ali to Madonna, rapidly became a venue of the past.

Now, after years on the sidelines, the Astrodome is in the spotlight again as the leader and staff of the agency that runs the facility are set Wednesday to make a recommendation on its future.

One option One option could be a fate that other domes have met in recent times — demolition.

For now the Astrodome sits there, a signature feature of Houston’s skyline, in disrepair and decaying, dirt covering the floors, mold creeping up the walls, the AstroTurf that got its name from the building a dirty, rumpled mess.

“It was an amazing structure at its time,” said Mark Miller, general manager of the Harris County Sports and Convention Corp., the agency that oversees the Astrodome, Reliant Stadium and the other complexes on the 340-acre campus.

“People were coming from all over the world to see the Astrodome, it was that significant.

People like Frank Sinatra, Walt Disney, John Wayne ... just came to Houston to see the Astrodome because it was such an amazing thing at the time,” Miller added. “It seems commonplace now, but for its time, being the first, it was just incredible.”

Last time 2008 However, the last time it was used for an event was in 2008. More memorably, in 2005 it housed refugees from Hurricane Katrina.

Today, piles of cardboard boxes litter the stadium floor alongside a crumpled mat of synthetic football field.

Trash litters the stands under torn stadium seats, from which spectators watched major events from the “Battle of the Sexes” tennis match between Bobby

A CONCRETE barrier circles the Astrodome Monday in Houston. Once touted as the Eighth Wonder of the World, the nation’s first domed stadium sits quietly gathering dust and items for storage.

Riggs and Billie Jean King, to concerts by Elvis and the Rolling Stones, to the Republican National Convention.

In 1965, after Houston unveiled its marvel, complete with luxury suites, almost tasty food and beer served at clean Formica counters, comfortable press boxes and cushioned seats, other cities quickly followed suit. There was the Kingdome in Seattle — now gone. The Sun Dome in Tampa, Fla. M i n n e a p o l i s ’ Metrodome. And New Orleans’ Superdome, considered an improvement — bigger and better — on the Astrodome.

About money “Eventually, it’s always about money,” said Bob Bluthardt, former chairman of the ballparks research committee at the Society for American Baseball Research. “And the Astrodome went from being state-of-the-art to being obsolete in barely a generation.”

John Pastier, an architect who wrote the 2006 book “Historic Ballparks,” agreed.

“The fixed dome had a certain period of currency and then was replaced by retractable domes,” he said.

A roof that opens and closes has the benefit of beating back the elements when necessary while also being able to let in the air and the view.

Houston, too, wanted bigger and better. Like other teams, the Astros wanted their own stadium, so they built Minute Maid Park with a retractable roof. The NFL’s Texans also got a new retractable roof stadium — Reliant — that opened in 2002.

Since then, the Astrodome hasn’t turned a profit.

So when it came to paying millions to get in-

spections and permits reapproved, the corporation opted out. And the Astrodome has stood largely vacant.

Recommendations Reports have been written, recommendations have been made. A multipurpose facility, with a new event floor, a S.T.E.M. — Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics — Institute and green attributes. A “renaissance” building with a museum, S.T.E.M. attractions, a conference center and a movie studio.

A dark shadow floating above, always, was demolition, the very idea of which offends some Houstonians.

But the option remains the cheapest, $128 million as of 2010, including the cost of transforming the site into a plaza with green space and a water feature, compared with nearly $400 million for a simple multipurpose facility and nearly $600 million to make the “renaissance” idea reality.

Less popular And in a state where there is no income tax and in a city that collects only sales and property taxes, the idea of using public money to build a new facility might be less popular than demolition.

Bluthardt, the baseball historian, believes Houstonians would, in the end, accept demolition.

“Houston ... by nature a city that looks to the future,” he said.

If the planners can find a sustainable model for saving the structure it is possible the Astrodome will remain.

Otherwise, it could also disappear in a large boom and a cloud of smoke.

“It will be another chapter in the Astrodome’s long history,” Bluthardt adds.

Sidney Daily News,Thursday, May 24, 2012

A tiny piece of equipment in constant evolution Designed to elevate the ball on the tee-off, the tee has evolved considerably over the years. This simple little wooden peg has made a lot of progress and still remains an important accessory for golfers.

The time is long gone when players used a pile of sand to elevate the ball! The arrival of the wooden tee not only allowed golfers to improve their drives but also to avoid damaging the grass on the tee-offs. Tees have become much more sophisticated over the years. These days they are made mainly from variously coloured wood or plastic. Some golfers prefer the traditional wooden tees for their effectiveness, while others will opt for those made in plastic because of their greater durability.

Large manufacturers of golf equipment are constantly searching for improvements and a wide variety of tees are now available on the market. One option is the wooden tee in two colours and varying lengths, while the range of plastic tees is more elaborate. Apart from conventional tees it is also possible to obtain “zero friction” tees, where the ball is placed on three small supports. There are also oversized “brush”

tees that reduce the rotation of the ball and tees of adjustable heights. Biodegradable tees made of bamboo are also available in specialized stores.

It’s hard to believe that one of the smallest and most useful accessories continues to help golfers improve their game!

Approach shots make all the difference Getting to the green on par (one shot for a par 3, two for a par 4, and three for a par 5) is not an easy thing to achieve for the average golfer. Even the best professional players manage to maintain a 70 percent success rate with difficulty. That is why it is so important to get good results from your approach shots.

Any expert will tell you that the game around the green is one of the most important, if not the most important element of your golf game. Well-executed approach shots can help you play on par or reduce your score by the end of the round.

In a radius of 25 to 35 metres from the green, the choice of club should take into ac-

1

count the presence or absence of obstacles, the slope of the green, and the position of the flag.

If your ball is positioned right behind a sand trap you will have to lob the ball and limit its roll. A pitching wedge or sand wedge would be appropriate for this type of shot.

The fluidity of the swing and the position (a little closer to the ball with a swinging movement) are the two elements needed for a successful shot. Before hitting the ball, be sure to visualize the spot where you want the ball to land.

If no obstacle is present, use the club which you are most comfortable with. Near the green, a short swing with a 4 or 5 iron will enable you to roll the ball near the target.

Be particularly careful to avoid a hesitant swing and plan to spend some time on the practice range in order to work on your “short” game. This is guaranteed to have a positive effect on your score card.

Golf is a great sport for spending an enjoyable day with all the family.

Playing golf with the family What could be better than spending an enjoyable day on the golf course with the people you love? That’s right! Golf is one of the most popular sports for socializing, relaxing, issuing challenges, and getting lots of fresh air, all at the same time!

The time is long gone when golf clubs were the privileged domain of business men and off limits to women! Today, more and more golf clubs offer various packages so that all the members of a family have access to their courses. Many clubs offer annual memberships to couples or families, allowing parents to plan regular rounds of golf with their children. As well as the pleasure of sharing the same passion, golf allows families to spend quality time together.

If the members of your family aren’t all at the same level, playing at an executive golf course (par 3 and 4) will provide a good initiation for beginners and a different challenge to the more experienced. To add a competitive element to a family round, why not change partners from time to time, forming fatherdaughter, mother-son teams, etc.

A great idea for your next family vacation is to find a destination where you can enjoy the pleasures of golf together. Travel specialists will be able to advise you about foreign travel packages or holiday resorts which specialize in golf and family activities.

The importance of the mind Golf is a complex game. As well as having to master techniques, golfers must also be able to control their emotions. It’s all true that there is plenty to enjoy in the fresh air and social aspects of the game, but players must also realize that golf is a sport in which the mind plays a vital role.

Experts will tell you that golfers spend an average of 90 percent of their time on the golf course thinking and 10 percent swinging and hitting the ball. This is why it’s so important to make the right decisions.

Whether you’re a regular, occasional, or professional golfer, the object of the game stays the same. Apart from mastering techniques, golf requires concentration and will power. A good balance between discipline, the control of movements, and the psychological aspects of the game will add to your enjoyment and lead to suc-

cess in this demanding sport.

The first thing to realize is that you are, above all, playing for yourself and not for your partners. Set your objectives and give yourself the means of reaching them. Appreciate your good shots and learn to accept the poor ones.

Did you miss a shot because you lifted your head or because your shoulders weren’t in the right position? Tell yourself that this lack of concentration is behind you. In other words don’t dwell on the past, continually thinking about the reasons for missing the shot, as this could well haunt you for the rest of the round.

Success in golf largely depends on your ability to concentrate, to master the techniques of visualization, of positive thinking, and self-confidence. In other words, you are the master of your own destiny!

Apart from mastering techniques, golf also requires concentration and willpower.
