‘Real world’ may burst some bubbles
BY STACY TAFF

OTTOVILLE — When
children leave their parents’
homes for the real world,
there is often a discouraging
period of adjustment when
they realize they won’t be
they were accustomed to.
The Ohio State University
Extension has created a pro-
gram to help prepare high
school students for the
financial challenges ahead.
The Putnam County OSU-
Extension brought the “Real
Money, Real World” pro-
gram to Ottoville eighth- and
ninth-graders Tuesday morn-
ing.
“First, they attend class-
room sessions where they’re
given different career options,
monthly income, spouses and
in some cases, children,”
Jason Hedrick of the Putnam
County OSU Extension
said. “They talk over all the
monthly bills they will have
to pay. In the gym, we have
tables set up. Each represents
a specific bill like housing,
cars, insurance, etc. They
have to visit each table and
try to budget that income and
try to save money or at least
break even.”
Students were assigned
different incomes — some
of which barely cleared mini-
mum wage — giving them
a clear example of what it
would be like to balance a
budget. The bills included
in the exercise were child
entertainment, food, housing,
insurance, transportation,
utilities and miscellaneous.
“This is just a snapshot
of what it would be like to
spend the money you make
every month. They also learn
what you earn isn’t what
you take home and put in
your account,” Hedrick said.
“Each student is meant to
assume they have a spouse
who is unable to contribute
an income, whether because
they lost their job, can’t find

kind of thing is a reality.”
When the students were
finished with each table, they
were sent to the “finish line”
where they were told how
they did.
“This is the second time
we’ve had the program
here at Ottoville,” Family
Consumer Science Educator
Pam Hickey said. “We’ll
try to do it every other year
and get them thinking about
finances as they go through
high school and into their
careers. We want to get them
thinking that way earlier so
they see that mom and dad

er and to help them assume

More federal

WILMINGTON (AP) —
The federal government is
providing another $2.9 mil-

by the relocation of a DHL
Express air shipping facility.
Labor Secretary Hilda Solis
said during a visit to the state
on Tuesday that the money
will pay for re-employment

workers affected by layoffs at
Wilmington Air Park in south-
west Ohio. The number is on
top of about 1,600 Wilmington
workers who benefited from
two earlier rounds of assis-
tance totaling $8.3 million.
DHL closed its shipping
operation in Wilmington in the
summer of 2009 and moved
it to Cincinnati/Northern

Ohio, ending what had been
a break in capital punish-
ment scheduling by the state
Supreme Court.
Ohio now has execu-
tions scheduled each month
through October, bringing the
possible number of people
who could be put to death in
2011 to nine, which would
be a state record for a single
year.
One of the inmates who
received an execution date,
Brett Hartman, came within
about a week of being exe-
cuted in 2009 before a federal
appeals court allowed him to
pursue an innocence claim.
Hartman, 36, was sen-
tenced to die for the 1997
Akron killing of 46-year-
old Winda Snipes, who was
stabbed more than 100 times,
then had her hands cut off.
Hartman has an appeal pend-
ing in the state Supreme Court
resolving DNA testing and
whether a jailhouse informant
lied at Hartman’s trial.
“We are disappointed that
the Supreme Court set a date
for Hartman when there is
still litigation pending in the
Court,” said his attorney,
David Stebbins.
Documents show the Ohio
Supreme Court decided to
set executions a month apart
after the state prisons director
requested more time between

obtained by The Associated
Press through a records
request.
Providing that delay
“would assist us in our per-
formance of this duty,” the
letter said.
Justin Kudela, the court’s
Case Management Counsel,
confirmed in a Feb. 2 e-mail
to the governor’s office that
the high court would follow
the director’s request.
Ohio decided last month
to switch to a new execu-
tion drug as supplies of the
former drug ran out. The
state had repeatedly said it
had enough of the former
drug, sodium thiopental, to
carry out next week’s execu-
tion of triple murderer Frank
Spisak, but would not com-
ment about its supply after
that.
The court’s decision to
announce new execution dates
was not related to the drug
switch, said court spokesman
Chris Davey.
The Department of
Rehabilitation and Correction
now plans to use 5 grams of
the new drug, pentobarbi-
tal, for the March 10 execu-
tion of Johnnie Baston, who
fatally shot a Toledo store
owner in 1994. If the execu-
tion proceeds, Ohio would
be the first state to use a
single dose of pentobarbital
to carry out a death sen-
tence. Oklahoma also uses
the drug but follows it with
two other chemicals that par-
alyze inmates and stop their

Obama scrambles to
regain message on Egypt
By MATTHEW LEE
and BEN FELLER
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — officials were frustrated about
Struggling to clear up con-
flicting messages that frus-
trated even President Barack
Obama, the White House
worked aggressively on
Tuesday to dispel any notion
it was easing pressure on
President Hosni Mubarak or
abandoning those protesting
for freedoms.
Much of the White House
ire centered on comments
made by Frank Wisner, the
retired U.S. diplomat who
was dispatched by Obama
to help nudge Mubarak out
of office, but then stunned
Obama officials by saying
Saturday that Mubarak’s con-
tinued leadership was criti-
cal as Egypt worked through
reforms. Obama himself
showed his frustration about
what Wisner said, officials
said privately.
Yet part of the confusion
has stemmed from the gov-
ernment’s own message, too.

been widely interpreted as

House rejects extensions of Patriot Act provisions
By JIM ABRAMS
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The
House on Tuesday failed to
extend the life of three sur-
veillance tools that are key
to the nation’s post-Sept. 11
anti-terror law, a slipup for
the new Republican leader-
ship that miscalculated the
level of opposition.
The House voted 277-148
to keep the three provisions
of the USA Patriot Act on
the books until Dec. 8. But
Republicans brought up the
bill under a special expedited
procedure requiring a two-
thirds majority, and the vote
was seven short of reaching
that level.
The Republicans, who took
over the House last month, lost
26 of their own members, add-
ing to the 122 Democrats who
voted against it. Supporters
say the three measures are
vital to preventing another
terrorist attack, but critics say
they infringe on civil liberties.
They appealed to the antipa-
thy that newer and more con-
servative Republicans hold
for big government invasions
of individual privacy.
Earlier on Tuesday,
Republicans also pulled a
bill from the floor because of

Rumsfeld’s memoir reveals prewar Iraq strike plan
By ROBERT BURNS
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — mendation to Bush at a Feb.
Former Pentagon chief
Donald H. Rumsfeld reveals
in his new book that he urged
a U.S. military strike on a
suspected chemical weapons
site in northern Iraq in 2003,
and that he wanted the attack
timed to coincide with Colin
Powell’s address to the U.N.
Security Council making the
case for war.
In his memoir, “Known
and Unknown,” Rumsfeld
wrote that the Joint Chiefs
supported a strike, based on
what Rumsfeld called exten-
sive but not conclusive CIA
evidence that the site housed
an underground facility for
testing chemical weapons. He
called it a “fairly sizeable ter-
rorist operation.”
The prewar attack never
happened, although the site
was struck in the opening
days of the war that President
George W. Bush launched in
March 2003, about six weeks
after Powell’s U.N. speech.
The U.S. never found sub-
stantial evidence of an active
Iraqi program to produce
weapons of mass destruction,
but Rumsfeld believed that
the site near the Iranian border
presented the best chance to
prove they existed before the
war began.
“For whatever reason, the
administration never made
public these facts about an
active WMD production facil-
it was wise for Mubarak to
resign now, as protesters in
his repressed nation demand.
What’s more, White House
some of the news reporting on
events. The overall concern
was that the narrative was
getting cloudy and certainly
not focused on the events in
Egypt.
So on Tuesday, when
Obama spokesman Robert
Gibbs was asked about State
Department comments on the
risks if Mubarak leaves hast-
ily, he bristled.
“I want to be clear,” Gibbs
said. “I speak for the presi-
dent of the United States of
America. We are not here to
determine who leads Egypt
and when they lead Egypt.”
The White House also
released a firm statement say-
ing Vice President Joe Biden,
in a call to Egyptian Vice
President Omar Suleiman,
made clear again that the
United States wants an order-
ly transition to a new day in
Egypt that is “prompt, mean-
ingful, peaceful, and legiti-
mate.”
Responding to the politi-
cal upheaval in his country,
Mubarak has declared that he
will not seek re-election in
September, but the pace and
South American countries
while continuing a program
that helps retrain Americans
who lose their jobs to foreign
competition.
The Patriot Act bill would
have renewed the authority for
court-approved roving wire-
taps that permit surveillance
on multiple phones. Also
addressed was Section 215,
the so-called library records
provision that gives the FBI
court-approved access to “any
tangible thing” relevant to a
terrorism investigation.
The third deals with the
“lone-wolf” provision of a
2004 anti-terror law that per-
mits secret intelligence sur-
veillance of non-U.S. people
not known to be affiliated
with a specific terrorist orga-
nization.
Rep. James Sensenbrenner,
R-Wis., the former Judiciary
Committee chairman who
authored the 2001 Patriot Act,
urged his colleagues to sup-
port the extensions, saying
they were needed as a stopgap
until permanent statutes could
be agreed upon.
“The terrorist threat has
not subsided and will not
expire, and neither should
our national security laws,”
he said.
But Rep. Dennis Kucinich,
D-Ohio, said Republican sup-
porters of the tea party move-
ity run by terrorists in Iraq,”
Rumsfeld wrote.
He said he made his recom-
3, 2003, National Security
Council meeting in which
Powell sketched out the pre-
sentation he was to make at
the U.N. two days later.
Rumsfeld quotes himself
as telling the meeting, “We
should hit Khurmal during the
speech, given that Colin will
talk about it.” Khurmal is the
name of a village near the site.
Powell objected.
In his U.N. presenta-
tion, Powell described it
as “Terrorist Poison and
Explosive Factory, Khurmal.”
Rumsfeld said Khurmal was
operated by Ansar al-Islam, a
Sunni militant group with ties
to Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, a
Jordanian extremist who later
led the Iraq branch of the al-
Qaida terrorist network.
Rumsfeld wrote that he
wanted to attack the site before
Powell finished his presenta-
tion in New York, because
otherwise the site would be
abandoned.
Had Powell not stood in the
way, in Rumsfeld’s view, the
Bush administration might have
gained conclusive evidence
that Iraq had an active WMD
site. “As expected, shortly after
Powell’s speech was deliv-
ered, many of the terrorists fled
Khurmal,” he wrote.

ited the site a few days after

course of events until then
continue to drive debate and
force the U.S. to respond.
Gibbs, Obama’s spokes-
man, said the president had
not eased his stand that
Mubarak should move now
toward a transition to a new
government.
The genesis of the break-
down in unified messag-
ing on Egypt appears to go
back to a Saturday, Jan. 29
Tweet from State Department
spokesman P.J Crowley that
was intended as a response
to Mubarak’s wholesale dis-
missal of his cabinet a day
earlier that Washington
regarded with suspicion.
“The Egyptian govern-
ment can’t reshuffle the deck
and then stand pat. President
Mubarak’s words pledging
reform must be followed by
action,” Crowley said.
Some officials now refer
to that as “the Tweet heard
round the world.”
By the time that mes-
sage appeared on Twitter on
that Saturday, Mubarak had
already taken his next step by
naming a number two, some-
thing long-demanded by the
United States, and Crowley’s
comment was interpreted
as the first U.S. reaction to
Suleiman’s appointment.
ment should show their oppo-
sition to big government by
joining Democrats in oppos-
ing the measure.
“How about the Patriot
Act, which has the broadest
reach and the deepest reach
of government to our daily
lives?” he asked.
The defeat means that
Republicans may have to bring
the bill back to the floor under
regular procedures that only
require a majority for passage
but allow for amendments.
Time is of the essence: The
three provisions will expire
on Feb. 28 if the House and
Senate can’t agree on how to
proceed.
The House had pushed
for a nine-month extension
to give lawmakers more time
to come up with an approach
that would give the measures
permanent legal status. The
Senate is considering longer-
range ideas.
Senate Judiciary
Committee Chairman Patrick
Leahy, D-Vt., last month intro-
duced legislation that would
extend the three provisions
through 2013 while improv-
ing oversight of intelligence-
gathering tools. Leahy would

of 2013, the use of national
security letters, FBI demands

Kurdish men, video equip-
ment and children — but
no obvious sign of chemi-
cal weapons manufactur-
ing. Much of the site was
destroyed by American cruise
missile strikes at the outset of
the invasion.
Micah Zenko, a political
scientist at the Council on
Foreign Relations, extensively
researched U.S. planning for a
military strike on Khurmal in
2002 and detailed it in his
book, “Between Threats and
War.” He said in an inter-
view that he was unaware
that Rumsfeld had advocat-
ed bombing the place while
Powell was at the U.N.
By that time, the Khurmal
camp had been largely empty
for months, Zenko said.
The Rumsfeld memoir
covers the full span of his 78
years, from growing up in a
small town outside Chicago,
his Navy days, his years in
Congress, a string of staff jobs
in the Nixon White House, his
first tour as defense secretary
under President Gerald R. Ford,
a period as a business executive
and his return to the Pentagon
in January 2001. He is the only
person to have served twice as
defense secretary; he also was
the youngest to have held the
job and the oldest.
To promote and expand
on the book, Rumsfeld estab-
lished a website that contains
a select group of his official
papers. Some required declas-
sification at his request.
