DELPHOS City council on Monday approved on emergency measure $74,100 to purchase 800 membrane plates for the wastewater treatment plant. The cost includes installation and shipping. Safety Service Director Greg Berquist said Wastewater Superintendent Todd Teman believes the membranes that need replaced have manufacturing issues and should be under warranty. Officials from Ovivo USA, LLC, will come to the plant and inspect the affected membranes to determine if it is a warranty issue. If it is found the membranes are faulty, the city will not incur the cost. Berquist noted the train containing the membranes has been shut down and will
Development and the county auditor for approval. Parks and Recreation Director Craig Mansfield updated council on improvements to the Delphos Municipal Swimming Pool. Mansfield said the east wall was completed with stainless steel wall supports and caulking and sealing was completed. He added that a portion of the west wall was also reinforced with stainless steel when a large section of that wall was found to be unstable. He also said the repair brings the pool a 70 percent decrease in water loss. Last year, we were constantly adding water to keep the level up. This will also help with the cost of chemicals and keep the temperature at an even keel, he said. The water temperature See COUNCIL, page 3

and Colleen Grube near Fort Recovery, bound the hands of the victims and shot them. Both were discovered dead in the home when a family member came to check on them on the morning of Nov. 30. Almost three months later, two men and a woman forced their way into the Fair home north of Mendon and attempted to bind the hands of the residents, but were unable to do so. The trio stole some cash and left in what was described as a dark-colored boxy SUV. Witness descriptions led to a sketch of one of the suspects being posted in the media and around the internet. Fast forward almost a month, and two men forced their way into a Van Wert County home of Daniel Hemker near Middle Point. They managed to bind Hemker and place him in the rear of his car, drive him two and a half miles to the quarry along Middle Point Rd., drop the car into gear and let it go into the cold water where it sunk about 35 feet to the bottom of the quarry. The car landed on its roof which broke the rear window of the vehicle, providing Hemker a way to escape a watery grave. He managed to get to shore, walk back home and call 911. He was able to give a description of the two men and their vehicle -- a midlate 90s Ford Ranger pick-up truck with an extended cab and a short bed.

LUCAS (AP) The oldest child of actors Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall is helping to raise money to renovate part of the Ohio farm where the pair married in 1945. The News Journal in Mansfield reports Stephen Bogart will make his first visit to nearby Malabar Farm from June 1-3. The meet-and-greets and special meals are part of a fundraising campaign to help renovate the mansion on the property. Malabar Farm administrative director Sybil Burksey says water and flooring problems have left the home in desperate need of repairs. The farm founded by celebrity author Louis Bromfield in 1939 is now part of a state park. Bogart says his mother, who turns 88 this year, is happy hes making the trip to see where his parents marriage began.
BRIEF
STATE/LOCAL
COLUMBUS (AP) Ohios statewide smoking ban is constitutional, the state Supreme Court ruled unanimously today. The court rejected claims by a Columbus tavern owner that argued the fines it was charged for violations were an illegal taking of property, violating the states legitimate police powers. 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.
Council
Monday afternoon was 74 degrees. The slide has been sandblasted and painted, a portion of the concrete near the slide was replaced and the pool liner was repaired. Mansfield said work on the pool this spring totaled between $34,000 and $36,000, much of which was funded through a grant and donations. Newly-hired Pool Manager Lois MacLennan was introduced to council. MacLennan will lead 34 employees, 18 of whom are certified lifeguards. She is employed at St. Johns Schools. Mansfield noted that 30 of the 34 employees returned from last year. The pool has already scheduled several pool parties and special events. The D.A.R.E. swim party is set for June 16 and the The Up to the Challenge Swim Meet is set for Aug. 1. The pool will open for the season on Saturday. Temperatures are forecast in the 90s. Council also approved two easements of gross and a standard easement. One of the easements of gross and the regular easement were granted to Brentilys Steak House. The Easement of Gross is for approximately half of the alleyway between the steak house and the Delphos Club. Brentilys will use the approximate 600 square feet to put a single row of tables next to its building to give customers the option of dining outside. Berquist noted the business cannot serve alcoholic beverages to customers enjoying the outdoor space. The standard easement allows the steak house to keep its dumpster off to the side on the canal parking lot. The second Easement of Gross was approved for Pitsenbarger Supply. Owners of the business noticed a por-
tion of the wall on the north side of the structure is bulging and needs reinforcement. The city owns the property adjacent to the structure and reinforcement will be installed on city property. Council heard on first reading an ordinance increasing the cost of fees for planning and zoning within the city due to the rising cost of publishing legal notices. Fees for a variance will be $75; petitions for amendment (zoning change) will be $100; and alley or street vacation petitions will be $100. Council heard on second reading an ordinance to transfer funds within funds for operating purposes. $800,000 will be transferred from the Sewer Fund to the OWDA Fund; $300,000 will be transferred from the Water Fund to the Water Improvement Fund; and $400,000 will be transferred from the Income Tax Fund to the OWDA Fund. City Auditor Tom Jettinghoff requested a review for the 2013 budget. The meeting will take place at 6:45 p.m. July 2. The next council meeting will begin at 7 p.m. June 4. Editors note: When standard easements are granted, they follow the property. An Easement of Gross follows the owner, so if there is a new owner, the easement expires.

Swiss proverb
WASHINGTON (AP) Former Secretary of State Colin Powell declined Tuesday to renew the presidential endorsement he gave Barack Obama four years ago, saying he wasnt ready to throw my weight behind someone at this time. The former chairman of the militarys Joint Chiefs of Staff and Cabinet member under President George W. Bush demurred when asked if he was backing Obama again. A longtime GOP figure, Powell caused a stir in Republican political circles four years ago by endorsing Obama over war hero Sen. John McCain, calling Obama a transformational figure. Not so this time, Powell said on NBCs Today show. At least, not yet. Its not just a matter of whether you support Obama or (Mitt) Romney. Its who they have coming in with them, he said. Pressed to say why he was holding back on giving Obama his blessing a second time, Powell said: I always keep my powder dry, as they say in the military. He said Obama had stabilized the financial system following the deep recession of 2008-2009 and had fixed the auto industry. Powell also said he thought the country was on the right path toward ending the war in Afghanistan. But he also said he thought Obama needed to work more on the economy and said he thought that he owed it to the Republican Party to listen to the proposals that likely nominee Romney will be offering, particularly on the economy. Powell said hes still listening to Republican ideas, calling Romney a good man and saying he wasnt ready to make a commitment to Obama.
able to support United States and North Atlantic Treaty Organization troops in Afghanistan, and funds appropriated under this heading can be used efficiently and effectively by the end of the fiscal year, the legislation says If the secretary cant certify to Congress, the money would be transferred to other accounts. The panel also cut money Obama proposed for Iraq by 77 percent, citing the deteriorating security situation there. The bill would provide $1.1 billion for Iraq, including $582 million in foreign assistance but no money for the police development program. Because the Iraqi police training program has not progressed as hoped, and our relations with Pakistan have been stalled for months, Sen. Graham and I have not used $881 million that the full committee initially recommended for the subcommittee. That is money we are saving the taxpayers, Leahy said. The panel also cut $5 million from the $250 million in economic assistance for Egypt. Graham said it equaled the amount the U.S. spent to get non-government workers out earlier this year, including Sam LaHood, son of Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood. We got our money back, Graham said.
group that went out for a night on the town together, Collins said. Senators were expected to focus on whether the Secret Service permitted a culture in which such behavior was tolerated. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano has testified previously that she would be surprised if there were other examples, but senators have been skeptical. In his own prepared remarks, Secret Service Director Mark Sullivan told senators the behavior in Colombia wasnt representative of the agencys nearly 7,000 employees. I understand how the question could be asked, Sullivan said, calling his employees among the most dedicated, hardest working, self-sacrificing employees within the federal government. Sullivan also assured senators that Obamas security was never at risk. The officers implicated in the prostitution scandal could not have inadvertently disclosed sensitive security details because their confidential briefing about Obamas trip had not taken place.
Moderately confused
WASHINGTON Novelist John Grisham could hardly spin a more provocative fiction: The president and his surrogates mount an aggressive campaign to intimidate the chief justice of the United States, implying ruin and ridicule should he fail to vote in a pivotal case according to the ruling political partys wishes. If only it were fiction. The justice is of course John Roberts and the case involves the Affordable Care Act (ACA), aka Obamacare, which would be affordable only if the court upholds the individual mandate requiring all Americans to buy health insurance. The lefts narrative goes as follows: If the justices side with the Obama administration, they will be viewed as brilliant and nonpartisan. If the reverse occurs, why then, the justices are partisan, judicial activists who have delegitimized the court. Writing in The New Republic, Jeffrey Rosen laid it out for Roberts, whose vote likely will be decisive: In addition to deciding what kind of chief justice he wants to be, he has to decide what kind of legal conservatism he wants to embrace. Of course, if the Roberts court strikes down health care reform by a 5-4 vote, then the chief justices stated goal of presiding over a less divisive court will
KATHLEEN PARKER
Point of View
be viewed as an irredeemable failure. Lest there be any lingering confusion, permit me: Vote our way, Justice Roberts, or you will go down in history as having abrogated your duty; your reputation will be destroyed; and the country will hold you accountable not only for withholding health care from the American people, but also for rolling back the New Deal. In so many words. Wait, the New Deal? Yes, according to many on the left, including Rosen, if the court rolls back Obamacare, it will also roll back the New Deal. Legal scholars on the right insist otherwise, noting that lawyers for the plaintiffs were explicit in denying any interest in overturning precedents. I leave this debate to others more worthy, but the idea that decisions must be popular and/or bipartisan is silly on its face. Just because something is popular doesnt make it right or legally correct. And, difficult as this is to accept in our Twitter culture, Supreme Court justices
and a leading liberal scholar of constitutional law, said that his former student obviously misspoke. It happens. Yet criticizing the Supreme Court is a consistent refrain from Obama, who began his presidency by scolding the justices. During his first State of the Union address, Obama broke decorum by criticizing the justices present for their Citizens United ruling, saying the court had reversed a century of law that I believe will open the floodgates for special interests including foreign corporations to spend without limit in our elections. Talk about extraordinary. Publicly chastising the court and now taunting Roberts specifically seems to have two purposes. One is to get under Roberts skin in hopes that hell rule the correct if not necessarily legally correct way. Two is to lay the groundwork for declaring the court illegitimate if all or part of Obamacare is overturned. Either way, its politics at its filthiest and is beneath the dignity of the court and of the White House. Unfortunately for Roberts, its up to the chief justice to hold the bar high.

Fire damage worse than Culp namedCto thought, church cancelled St. Francis Fall deans list
BY LOVINA EICHER Our work has still been centered around the recent house fire that we experienced. My husband Joe doesnt have to work the next two days so we are moving the furniture from our bedrooms upstairs to the downstairs and basement. We will set the beds up in the basement for the girls to sleep in. The boys are sleeping on a bed in the living room now. The carpenters that are working on the rebuilding said that a sealant will have to be applied to the walls and the floors to block out the smoke smell. They discovered that there was more heat and water damage than realized when I wrote about this a week ago. Elizabeths bedroom has to all be redone as well. Her bedroom seems to be the worst after the boys bedroom. We are living a little crowded now with all of their belongings and bedroom furniture down here. I cant believe all the things the girls have accumulated through the years. I told the girls they are fortunate to be able to clean the smoke from their things since the boys dont have anything left to clean. They lost everything that was in their bedroom. The damage wasnt just upstairs either. Part of the ceiling had to be redone in the kitchen and dining room. It needs another layer of drywall mudding and then it is ready to sand and paint. We will have to repaint the whole ceiling since our living room, dining room and kitchen ceiling are all combined. I have decided to paint the walls too since we will be painting anyway. We have been living in this house for five years now so it will freshen everything up especially now since it was all smoked up. We cancelled our plans to hold church services in June. I could not see us getting all the painting, cleaning and so forth done with only four weeks left. We will instead take our turn twice next year. I feel so much more relaxed now to clean without that deadline looming. Our plans are just to work on finishing all the upstairs bedrooms before moving all the childrens things back upstairs. It looks like a long, busy summer ahead. And along with everything else going on we are trying to fill our gardens up. We put out 84 tomato plants this week. We are out of tomato juice so I need to fill those jars again with homemade juice. Lovina had her eighth birthday on Friday the 18th. We were so busy putting in our first cutting of hay and cleaning up from the fire that we didnt take time to celebrate her birthday. I also had to take Loretta to physical therapy and pick up some groceries. By the time I was done with all that it was time to make supper. It was a hot day to put up hay but we got 212 bales from the hay field. Joe was glad for the hay as he had just run out. I asked Lovina if we should have cake and ice cream tonight for her birthday. She suggested having chocolate cupcakes instead so we will do that. Tomorrow, the 22nd, we celebrate another birthday for my 41st. I survived a year of the 40s and it has not been quite as bad as I thought. When Joe turned 40 I had given him a coffee cup that said 40 isnt old if you are a tree. Last year on my birthday, Joe gave the cup to me. I think I will pass it along to my brother-in-law Jacob who will be 40 in November. We have been very thankful for the items donated to us since the fire. I also want to thank all the readers for their help. It is used to help to replace shoes, clothes, and so forth for the boys. May God bless everyone for their kindness.

Starting today at Troy and elsewhere, area athletes will look to keep the dream alive for a berth at the Jesse Owens Memorial Track next week. In todays Division III Regional finals, Jefferson senior Kennedy Boggs begins her quest to qualify for state in four events as she enters the girls high jump tied for first with St. Johns junior Alyssa Faurot and two others at 5-2. She won last weeks Spencerville District.

Pyatt cashed in on a power play, redirecting Martin Hanzals one-timer in the slot 4:20 into the game. Despite numerous other good chances, including a couple on a power play, the Coyotes couldnt get another puck past Quick in the first period. Adding to it, the Kings snatched a little momentum back with Kopitars short-handed goal, on a redirect of a shot by Doughty after Smith was called for icing. The second period wound up being a shootout. Pouliot gave Phoenix the lead back by flipping a backhander past Quick on a loose puck in front for his first career playoff goal. Doughty tied it a few minutes later, scoring from just inside the blue line on a shot Smith had trouble seeing through traffic. Richards scored on rebound to put Los Angeles up 3-2, Yandle tied it again after a pass by Pyatt caromed off his right leg past Quick. Both teams had numerous scoring chances in a hectic third period but both goalies made some superb saves. They went back and forth in the overtime, too, until Penner finally ended it when a shot by Jeff Carter caromed out front to him in the slot.
Glendale council takes 1st step in Coyotes sale: The Glendale City Council has approved a preliminary budget that includes $17 million to be paid to the prospective buyer of the Coyotes for operating costs for the citys Jobing.com Arena. The 4-3 vote on Tuesday night was the first in a series of moves necessary before the council approves a new lease for the arena. The council has two more preliminary budget hearings before taking a final budget vote. No date has been set for the council to consider the new lease but it is expected to do so in the next few weeks. The NHL has reached a tentative deal to sell the team to Greg Jamison, former CEO of the San Jose Sharks, contingent on a new lease agreement with Glendale.
The Associated Press NL Capsules PHILADELPHIA Jordan Zimmermann pitched six solid innings and Ian Desmond and Rick Ankiel homered to lead the Washington Nationals to a 5-2 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday night. Bryce Harper tripled, singled and drove in two runs for the Nationals, who won their third straight game and beat the Phillies for the sixth straight time in Philadelphia something that never had been done in the franchises 43-year history.

Zimmermann (3-4) earned his first win in five career starts against Philadelphia, surrendering one run and seven hits in six innings. METS 3, PIRATES 2 PITTSBURGH Lucas Duda smacked a go-ahead RBI-single in the top of the eighth in support of starter R.A. Dickey and the Mets edged the Pirates.

REDS 4, BRAVES 3 CINCINNATI Brandon Phillips drove in three runs with a pair of homers off Brandon Beachy, leading the Reds to a victory over the Braves. Rookie shortstop Zack Cozart also homered off Beachy (5-2) as the Reds got the best of another high-powered game. The teams have combined for 10 homers in the two games, seven of them by Cincinnati.

INDIANS 5, TIGERS 3 CLEVELAND Chris Perez, greeted by a standing ovation from the time he left the bullpen, worked another scary ninth inning for his 14th save as Cleveland ended a 10-game losing streak to Detroit. Perez had been critical of recent booing during an appearance and called the Indians major league-worst attendance an embarrassment for a first-place club. He put two runners on in the ninth before striking out Miguel Cabrera and then getting Prince Fielder on a grounder to short. Perez hasnt blown a save since opening day. Ubaldo Jimenez (5-3) cautiously worked through the meat of Detroits lineup and lasted six innings as the first-place Indians beat the AL Central favorites and Rick Porcello (4-3). ANGELS 4, ATHLETICS 0 OAKLAND, Calif. C.J. Wilson and Ernesto Frieri combined on a one-hitter and Albert Pujols homered for Los Angeles. Pujols homered for the third time in seven days while Mark Trumbo and Howie Kendrick had RBI singles for the Angels, who had scored only five runs in their previous three games combined. A day after losing its third consecutive 1-run game, Los Angeles took a 4-run lead after three innings and coasted the rest of the way to give Wilson (5-4) his first win in nearly three weeks. Cliff Pennington had the only hit a 1-out single in the fifth for Oakland, which had won five of the previous seven meetings between the teams this season. RANGERS 3, MARINERS 1 SEATTLE Elvis Andrus lined a two-strike pitch into the left-center field gap for a 2-run triple, Josh Hamilton made two tremendous catches in center field and added an RBI double and

Granger tried to play in the second half, lasting about 3 minutes before realizing his ankle wasnt going to let him continue. X-rays were negative, which was about the only piece of good news for Indiana. By then, Miami was rolling. James leaned back to catch a slightly wayward pass from Chalmers near the Miami bench, firing it in one motion to Wade for an easy score as the reigning MVP toppled on Heat assistant coach Ron Rothstein. Mike Miller even made the crowd roar for defending Leandro Barbosa and forcing a missed 3-pointer late in the quarter the highlight there being Miller was playing while missing one sneaker. When Granger left, it was 56-45. By the end of the quarter, Miamis lead was 76-57, and the margin reached 37 in the final moments. Now the Heat are one win from the East finals, after a series filled with twists and turns. This is our challenge right now, to leave it behind us, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. A lot of good things tonight but we have to focus on the next one.
NOTES: Haslem needed nine stitches after Sundays game to close a cut over his right eye; the Heat distributed 20,000 stickers in homage of the bandage he wore on Tuesday. ... Indiana has not held the lead at any point in the last 1 hour, 5 minutes, 20 seconds of the series. ... Indiana lost consecutive games for the first time in these playoffs. ... The winner of the rebounding battle has won each game of the series. Miami outrebounded Indiana 49-35 in Game 5.

BUSINESS
BY JASON ALDERMAN High school and college students hoping to find temporary jobs may be in for a tough time this summer once again as they compete with older, more experienced workers in a stillstruggling economy. Alderman But if your kid is fortunate enough to find work, there are a few things he or she and you should know about the economic and tax ramifications of temporary employment: Payroll deductions. If this is their first job, warn your kids about common payroll deductions that can take a big bite out of take-home pay. Common culprits include state and federal income taxes, Social Security and Medicare (FICA), health and unemployment insurance, uniforms and union dues. When starting a new job your child will be asked to fill out IRS Form W-4, the Employees Withholding Allowance Certificate. Employers use this form to determine how much income tax should be withheld from your paycheck. The forms instructions help determine how many personal allowances can be claimed. Note: If you claim your children as dependents and they earn less than $5,950 during 2012, they probably wont owe any income tax for the year. If so, they can request that employers not withhold income taxes by claiming an exemption from withholding on Line 7 of the W-4. However, if you notice on their year-end W-2 form that the employer did indeed with-

als at retirement usually at a much higher tax rate. If someone opened a Roth IRA at age 16 and contributed only $1,000 a year, the account could be worth over $300,000 by age 60. Sit down with your kid and play around with the Roth IRA Calculator at www.dinkytown.net its a great way to teach the importance of compound earnings.

-- the overused ones and the ones they never liked. Any schoolteacher can tell you tales of unique and unfortunate names and their many alternative spellings. There is a story making the rounds about a girl named Female, pronounced to rhyme with tamale. Most parents are searching for something unique but not bizarre, a name that not everyone in the childs first-grade class will have. Unfortunately, every other parent is thinking the same way. So they finally pick a name that seems fresh and new, different but not odd, and four years from now find out that half the kids in preschool are named Harper or Mason. How did that happen? wonder the parents, Taylor and Austin. While most babies will still get names that are genderspecific -- Sophia for girls, Michael for boys -- the rise of the gender-neutral name is very interesting. Is Austin a boy or a girl? Is Mason a boy or a girl? Ashley, Aubrey, Blake, Bentley, Easton? Will it help on a college or job application if its impossible to tell if the applicants a man or a woman? What of the hidden meanings of names? Are Bubba and Junior the same as Chad and Brad? Who would you trust to do your taxes? Who would you ask about making killer moonshine? Would you rather marry a Dakota or a Tiffany? Who would be a better-looking groom, Winston or Wally? Does the name say more about the parent or the child?

In contrast to sodium, more potassium in your diet helps keep blood pressure in check. Many fruits and vegetables, like bananas, oranges and grapefruit, are naturally low in sodium and are good sources of potassium. Retrain your taste buds to enjoy foods with less sodium. Reduce salt gradually and consistently, rather than trying to cut back by a large amount all at once. As time goes on, you wont miss the salt. I used to sprinkle lots of salt on nearly everything I ate (no, not on apple pie). After gradually using less salt over several months, the same foods I used to put salt on taste great without it. Some people are born to be more sensitive to salt, and salt in their diet is more likely to raise their blood pressure. There is no easy way to know if you are one of those people, but there is an easy way to measure your blood pressure. Particularly if your doctor has ever told you that your blood pressure was high or borderline high, talk to him or her about using a home blood pressure machine. It is simple to use and accurate. We have more information on preventing high blood pressure in our Special Health Report, Hypertension: Controlling the Silent Killer. You can find out more about it at my website.

Tomorrows Horoscope
THURSDAY, MAY 24, 2012 A number of important changes are likely to be in store for you in the year ahead. Some of them youll initiate yourself, but it is likely that the rest will be dictated by events. Regardless of their origin, most will be good for you. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -Rather than be eager to display your knowledge to others, you ought to sit back and be a good listener. You know what you know -- now its time to find out what others have to offer. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- When it comes your financial or commercial affairs, you should follow your instincts. Your intuitions could be especially keen, giving you an edge on making or saving money. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Endeavors you personally originate or manage have excellent chances for success. It behooves you to hold on to your authority and avoid delegation. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Usually you enjoy being where the action is, but at this juncture, a retreat to peaceful surroundings for whatever amount of time you need may be essential for sorting out your thoughts. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Dont select your companions in a random fashion. If you have a choice, choose the type of friends who operate on your wavelength. Being with good pals makes everything right with the world. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Challenging developments have a tendency to bring out your hidden qualities, so dont try to dodge adversity. Youre not apt to push yourself too hard unless youre confronted with difficulty. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- It isnt likely that you will be impelled to dictate to others what they should do and how they do it, but if anyone asks for advice, what you offer will be sage and constructive. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Use your aptitude for finding and bringing out the hidden value in things, and youll come out ahead in all your endeavors. You may have to look harder than usual to find the quality, but itll be there. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Dont take it as a personal affront if your partner in a joint endeavor is a bit sharper than you. Use his or her efficacy to feather your nest just as your opposite number is doing. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -You shouldnt have to be told to use your common sense when it comes to matters that relate to your health. Avoid overindulging in lifes tastier tidbits. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Take a little time to arrange a gettogether with some friends, even if its just for coffee. Itll do you a lot of good to relax with people who like you as much as you like them. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Make an effort to spend some time with people over whom you have an influence, especially if you have something important to impress on them. Dont be fooled by age or position; these people will be of enormous help to you.

Dear Annie: I have an ongoing dilemma about an extremely uncomfortable bed. My parents recently turned 80. They have a guestroom with a bed that desperately needs to be replaced. I can tolerate sleeping there if I am exhausted, but it is truly awful. My parents are not rich, so a new bed would be a major expense. But they dont like handouts, so buying one for them might be resented. How do I tell them that my siblings and I would prefer to buy them a new mattress rather than spend the money staying in a motel? I dont want to embarrass or offend them. -- Bad Back Dear Back: Your parents dont sleep in the guestroom and have no idea how bad the bed is, nor are they in any hurry to replace something

replaced the sound of sirens, said C.J. Huff, Joplins school superintendent. A community theater where three people died after a Sunday matinee performance will be rebuilt nearby. Those on the walk included former co-workers of Randy Mell, a 49-year-old Jasper County custodian who died while trying to save some of the more than 50 audience and cast members trapped inside the Stained Glass Theater. Insurance policies are expected to cover most of the $2.8 billion in damage from the storm. But taxpayers could supply about $500 million in federal and state disaster aid, lowinterest loans and local bonds backed by higher taxes. Almost one-fifth of that money was paid to contractors who hauled off an estimated 3 million cubic yards of debris. In January, elected officials and other members of a 45-person recovery committee endorsed a long-term recovery plan that calls for the creation of four new business districts that would allow residents to live and shop nearby and a unified approach to rebuilding that ensures new construction meets certain design standards. In March, the city selected Wallace Bajjali Development Partners, of Sugar Land, Texas, as its master developer to oversee the rebuilding plan. Wallace, the companys chief executive officer, said hes secured commitments from builders who want to bring a minor league baseball stadium, a convention center and a public performing arts center to the city near the borders of Arkansas, Oklahoma and Kansas. One interested developer is a group led by former Dallas Cowboys star Emmitt Smith that envisions transforming Joplins Main Street business corridor into a mixed-use neighborhood with high-end lofts built atop retail space. Everybodys heart in America is pouring out to Joplin right now, he said. Theres a desire to be able to come and make a difference in this community.
