POMEROY — Just three months into the year, Sheriff Robert Beegle and his deputies have traveled 15,000 miles — and that is just in transporting inmates to and from outside jail assignments. With gasoline at $3.79 a gallon and rising in cost by the hour or day, that places a burden on a county budget with little room for surprises. Beegle said he fuels his fleet of 13 cruisers and other vehicles from a number of sources, including two retail outlets, a bulk source and a county gasoline tank. According to the records of County Auditor Mary Byer-Hill, Beegle has spent half of his $42,000 appropriation for gas and oil, with just a quarter of 2011 now gone.

Dear Dr. Brothers: My friend is an artist who can hardly make ends meet. She doesn’t want to sell anything, and it drives me crazy! How can I make her see that she’s sitting on a great revenue stream? I just don’t get it. — J.N. Dear J.N.: Your friend has her own reasons for maintaining the starvingartist lifestyle, and it probably would be an interesting conversation if you asked her to sit down and explain it to you. At the same time, you might want to consider how you would feel if your positions were reversed: How would it feel to be asked to justify or defend your own way of life — whether it be sleeping till noon or doing the daily 9to-5 grind? Yet I can see how it must frustrate you to want better things for your friend, which seem to be within her grasp, yet unchosen. Look good; feel better: Program encourages cancer patients ATHENS — In partnership with the O’Bleness Health System, the American Cancer Society offers a program to help women who are currently undergoing treatment for cancer. The Society’s “Look Good…Feel Better” session will be held Tuesday, April 12, from 5-7 p.m. in the Castrop Center, Ste. 300, in the O’Bleness Medical Park, Athens. The program is a free national program. Trained, volunteer cosmetologists teach beauty techniques to women cancer patients to help them combat the appearance-related side effects of cancer treatment and to help improve their self-image. The women learn how to cope with skin changes and hair loss using cosmetics and skin care products donated by the cosmetic industry. Free cosmetic kits are provided at the group sessions. Women also learn ways to disguise hair loss with wigs, scarves and other accessories. Founded in 1989, the program is a collaboration between the Cosmetic, Toiletry, and Fragrance Association Foundation, the American Cancer Society and the National Cosmetology Association. To register for this free class call your American Cancer Society at 1-800-395-5665, and press 0. Immediately following the “Look Good…Feel Better” session the cosmetologist can assist women who would like to have head coverings. O’Bleness has remodeled a private fitting area where women can choose from free wigs, scarves and hats that are new or clinically cleaned donations.

STAFF REPORT RIO GRANDE — The Rio Grande American Marketing Association was recognized at the recent International Collegiate Conference in New Orleans, La. where they won two awards for outstanding performance. The student organization received the Outstanding Planning and Outstanding Membership Awards. The outstanding planning award reflected the group’s ability to create and follow a strategic plan, while the outstanding membership award was given for the group’s high rates of participation among members and recruitment strategies. Members Jessica Wickline, Danielle Sanders, Rachel Merry, and Cassie Holley traveled with faculty advisor Wesley Thoene to the conference. The conference hosted over a thousand marketing students from colleges throughout the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico. In addition to receiving the awards, students attended specialized sessions on a variety of marketing and career topics. For example, the opening session was led by Michael McCullough, the head of marketing for the Miami Heat, who dis- Visit us online at mydailysentinel.com cussed how the team used marketing to attract its marquee free agents this past summer. Ricky Kim of Nintendo also spoke to students about how the company repositioned itself to attract new customers in recent years. Members of the Rio Grande AMA also listened to speakers from Hibbett Sports and Northwestern Mutual, who discussed how students could better market themselves to future employers. While in New Orleans, the students visited many of the local attractions, including the Audubon Aquarium. They toured Jackson Square, as well as St. Louis Cathedral in the heart of the city. “The conference was an excellent opportunity for us to meet new people, learn more about the field of marketing, and further develop our employment strategies,” said member Jessica Wickline. “We were also able to see many of the sites that New Orleans has to offer.” The Rio Grande chapter of the American Marketing Association (AMA) is a student organization which is open to all Rio Grande students. The chapter provides an array of professional development opportunities for its members and students at the college, including resume workshops, speakers, and the School of Business Visitation Day each November.

I was lucky enough to just get an interview for my university job, let alone the position itself. But after working here for three years, seeing people come and go, seeing some of them just stay there until they retire, I can’t help but wonder what the heck I’m even doing there. I know with the economy it seems rude to complain about having a job, but I’m getting really miserable. I feel so trapped — help! — S.S. Dear S.S.: Some people feel trapped by any kind of routine that is mandatory and upon which their livelihood depends. Because you need the money so desperately, you naturally place a great deal of emphasis on not rocking the boat, trying to like or love your job and not lose it. But if all this effort is being put into a job you don’t really like, just to make sure you can live day to day without financial problems, you could be fighting a losing battle. Keeping a career going today is a difficult undertaking — especially if you don’t really like what you are doing. A new study out of the Australian National University has confirmed that not just any job will do when it comes to being happy; in fact, people who went from the unemployment line to a lessthan-satisfactory job were more likely to be depressed than those who had no place to work.

The plan would slash federal spending by $5 trillion or more over the coming decade. It would leave Social Security untouched but shift more of the risk from rising medical costs from the government to future Medicare beneficiaries. It also calls for sharp cuts to Medicaid health care for the poor and disabled and to food aid for the poor. Dubbed the “Path to Prosperity,” the proposal by House Budget Committee Chairman Raul Ryan, R-Wis., also calls for dramatically overhauling the complicated and inefficient U.S. tax code. It would scrap numerous tax breaks and loopholes in exchange for reducing the top income tax rate for both individuals and corporations from 35 percent to 25 percent. Democrats launched a furious counterassault on the health care proposals. “They’re ending Medicare as we know it. They take away the Medicare guarantee for seniors,” said Rep. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md. “All the risk of increased costs will be borne by seniors.” Despite its huge cuts, Ryan’s plan still can’t claim a balanced budget by the end of the decade because of promises to not increase taxes or change Medicare benefits for people 55 and over. After six years, annual deficits are projected to fall to the $400 billion range, enough to stabilize the nation’s finances and prevent a European-style debt crisis that could force far harsher steps, Ryan said. Under the arcane congressional budget process, the GOP plan is not actual legislation. It does provide a theoretical basis for action, but with Democrats controlling the Senate, the GOP plan serves more to frame the debate heading into next year’s election than represent a program with a chance of passing Congress and becoming law. “For too long, Washington has not been honest with the American people. Washington has been making empty promises to Americans from a govern- ment that is going broke,” Ryan said. “The debt is projected to grow to truly catastrophic levels in the near future, leading to an economic collapse and a diminished future.” The GOP plan would still add $5 trillion to the deficit over the coming decade, though it promises to reach socalled “primary balance” by 2015, meaning that the budget would be balanced save for interest payments on already accumulated debt. The national debt now exceeds $14 trillion and the White House projects this year’s deficit at $1.6 trillion. Democrats said the GOP plan focused its cuts on seniors and the poor to pay for continued tax cuts enjoyed by the wealthiest. “Everyone agrees we must cut spending and tighten our belt, but House Republicans have chosen to do so on the backs of America’s seniors, not the oil companies making record profits and getting tens of billions in taxpayer subsidies,” said Rep. Steve Israel, D-N.Y. “Forcing seniors to pay higher health costs is not the right way to balance our books and it’s not the only way to do it.” Ryan’s plan would produce a $995 billion deficit next year, compared with the $1.1 trillion projected in President Barack Obama’s budget proposal. Republicans moved quickly to advance it, scheduling committee action on Wednesday and a vote by the full House for next week. The GOP plan stands in stark contrast to Obama’s February budget, which attracted criticism for failing to address federal health care programs whose costs are far outpacing other inflation. Obama’s budget ignored most of the most controversial recommendations of his deficit commission, such as raising the Social Security retirement age and curbing future benefit increases. The GOP plan would fundamentally restructure the nation’s biggest health programs in a bold stroke that could make Obama’s insurance overhaul look like baby steps. Obama’s law expanded coverage to about 30 million people who don’t have it now. Ryan’s plan not only would repeal Obama’s expansion completely, but it would recast Medicare and Medicaid, which currently help pay medical bills for some 100 million Americans. People now 54 and younger wouldn’t get to go into the same Medicare pro- gram as their parents and grandparents upon retirement. Instead, they would get a voucher-style federal payment to purchase coverage from a choice of regulated private plans. Poor people would no longer have a right under federal law to get health care through Medicaid. Instead, Washington would send each state a lump sum to spend on medical care, nursing homes and other health services for the poor and disabled. In an economic downturn, a state hurting for cash might decide to stop accepting new applications for Medicaid. “These sound like technical solutions to budget problems, but what’s really starting to be discussed in Washington are fork-in-the-road differences about the future of Medicare and Medicaid,” said Drew Altman, president of the Kaiser Family Foundation, a nonpartisan information clearinghouse on the health care system. “Should we stick with the traditional Medicare program where you have guaranteed benefits? Or should the benefit depend on the plan you get in the marketplace?” At its most basic level, Ryan’s plan would shift more of the risk for rising health care costs from federal taxpayers to individual beneficiaries, medical service providers and states, giving them all a powerful incentive to cut waste and improve quality. If the theory works, it could finally start to slow the unsustainable rate of rising health care costs. “We’re actually saving Medicare and Medicaid, making them solvent for future generations,” Ryan said. “And, yes, we’re cutting spending. We’re cutting a lot of spending, because government is spending way beyond its means.” The GOP’s 2012 budget blueprint was unveiled amid a separate battle between Republicans and the Obama administration over smaller but more immediate spending cuts for the current, 2011 budget year. Compared with Obama’s latest budget proposal, Ryan’s plan would cut $6.2 trillion over 10 years. But measured against Congressional Budget Office estimates that assume permanent extension of Bush-era tax cuts, Ryan’s budget would cut $5.8 trillion. Obama and Ryan each claim $1 trillion in savings from the unrealistic assumption that overseas military operations will soon cost just $50 billion a year — less than half the amount requested by Obama for next year. Ryan endorses Obama’s Pentagon requests, which provide for small increases over current levels. Ryan’s proposal largely sidesteps Social Security, offering a vague requirement that the president and Congress develop a plan to save the system “in the event that the Social Security program is not sustainable.” The trustees who oversee Social Security have been projecting for years that the program will run out of money by about 2037. Last year, Social Security paid out $37 billion more in benefits than it collected in payroll taxes, the first such deficit since the system was overhauled in the 1980s. The program is instead tapping into $2.5 trillion in accumulated savings from previous surpluses. On taxes, Ryan would rescind all tax increases in both the new health care law and in Obama’s proposed 2012 budget. He would extend Bush-era cuts for taxpayers at every income level, including the wealthy. He would reject Obama’s call to increase taxes on oil and natural gas companies, which were included in the president’s proposed 2012 budget. He also embraces fundamental tax changes to set a top rate of 25 percent for both individuals and corporations, down from the current 35 percent. That would mirror a proposal by Rep. Dave Camp, R-Mich., chairman of the taxwriting House Ways and Means Committee, to create lower rates by weeding out numerous tax breaks and loopholes enjoyed by both individuals and corporations. Ryan’s plan also would overhaul the way the government gives out food stamps, a program that has grown from $18 billion in 2001 to more than $80 billion this year. It would cap the amount of money each state can receive and make the aid contingent on work or job training. In addition, it would make unprecedented cuts to the operating budgets of domestic agencies, slashing Obama’s requests for education, law enforcement and homeland security, along with highway building. Noting that this year’s net farm income is forecast to be the secondhighest in the past 35 years, the plan also proposes slashing farm programs by $30 billion over 10 years by cutting crop insurance and certain subsidies paid to farmers regardless of crop price or yield. Poll reveals baby boomers’ retirement fears BY ALAN FRAM ASSOCIATED PRESS Baby boomers facing retirement are worried about their finances, and many believe they’ll need to work longer than planned or will never be able to retire, a new poll finds. The 77 million-strong generation born between 1946 and 1964 has clung tenaciously to its youth. Now, boomers are getting nervous about retirement. Only 11 percent say they are strongly convinced they will be able to live in comfort. A total of 55 percent said they were either somewhat or very certain they could retire with financial security. But another 44 percent express little or no faith they’ll have enough money when their careers end. Further underscoring the financial squeeze, 1 in 4 boomers still working say they’ll never retire. That’s about the same number as those who say they have no retirement savings. The Associated PressLifeGoesStrong.com poll comes as politicians face growing pressure to curb record federal deficits, and budget hawks of both parties have expressed a willingness to scale back Social Security, the government’s biggest program. The survey suggests how politically risky that would be: 64 percent of boomers see Social Security as the keystone of their retirement earnings, far outpacing pensions, investments and other income. The survey also highlights the particular retirement challenge facing boomers, who are contemplating exiting the work force just as the worst economy in seven decades left them coping with high jobless rates, tattered home values and painfully low interest rates that stunt the growth of savings. Twenty-five percent of those surveyed say they plan to never retire. People who are unmarried, earn under $50,000 a year, or say they did a poor job of financial planning are disproportionately represented among that group. Overall, nearly 6 in 10 baby boomers say their workplace retirement plans, personal investments or real estate lost value during the economic crisis of the past three years.

Though the first boomers are turning 65 this year, the poll finds that 28 percent already consider themselves retired. Of those still working, nearly half want to retire by age 65 and about another quarter envision retiring between 66 and 70. Two-thirds of those still on the job say they will keep working after they retire, a plan shared about evenly across sex, marital status and education lines, the survey finds. That contrasts with the latest Social Security Administration data on what older people are actually doing: Among those age 65-74, less than half earned income from a job in 2008. About 6 in 10 married boomers expect a comfortable retirement, compared with just under half of the unmarried. Midwesterners are most likely to express confidence in their finances. Among boomers who plan to continue working in retirement, 35 percent say they’ll do so to make ends meet. Slightly fewer cite a desire to earn money for extras or to simply stay busy. Excluding their homes, 24 percent of Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution boomers say they have no retirement savings. Those with nothing include about 4 in 10 who are non-white, are unmarried or didn’t finish college. At the other end, about 1 in 10 say they have banked at least $500,000. Those who have saved at least something typically have squirreled away $100,000, with about half putting away more than that and half less. Despite the worries and dearth of savings cited by many, only about a third of boomers say it’s likely that they’ll have to make do with a more modest lifestyle once they retire. Only about 1 in 4 expect to struggle just to pay their expenses. The AP-LifeGoesStrong.com poll was conducted from March 4-13 by Knowledge Networks of Menlo Park, Calif., and involved online interviews with 1,160 baby boomers born between 1946 and 1964. The margin of sampling error is plus or minus 3.5 percentage points. Knowledge Networks used traditional telephone and mail sampling methods to randomly recruit respondents. People selected who had no Internet access were given it for free.

Lopez Publisher Charlene Hoeflich General Manager-News Editor Pam Caldwell Advertising Director �Wednesday, April 6, 2011 Volunteers needed for milk study Two sessions to be held in Meigs County STAFF REPORT COLUMBUS — A research project is underway by the Ohio State University research department in an effort to determine why more people are choosing to drink raw milk these days. As a part of that study there will be six focus groups planned at three locations, one of which is the Meigs County Extension Office, 117 E. Memorial Driver in Pomeroy. The sessions to be held in Pomeroy will be on April 15 and April 18 at 1 p.m. The other-two session focus group meetings will be held at the Extension Office in Coshocton County, April 26 and 28, and The Meeting House in Wooster on April 19 and 21. At the focus groups they will be looking for people who live on farms who drink either raw or pasteurized milk willing to take part in a study. Volunteers will be asked to meet with researchers to complete a written survey, and take part in a 1.5-hour-long focus group session. They will be paid $25 for their time and trouble. “We truly do not know very much about how farmers make the choice to drink raw or pasteurized milk — there’s just nothing in the literature,” said Lydia Medeiros, a scientist with the university’s Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center and Ohio State University Extension, and a professor of human nutrition in the College of Education and Human Ecology. The study of farm families is part of a broader project on raw milk consumption in Ohio. Medeiros, the study’s co-principal investigator, is working with colleague Jeff LeJeune, also with OSU Extension and an associate professor with OARDC’s Food Animal Health Research Program. LeJeune is principal investigator of the study. They are seeking participants who live on any size or type of farm; dairy, livestock, grain, vegetable producing or any combination. The criteria for the study are farmers who drink their own raw milk produced on site or farmers who drink pasteurized milk. The purpose of the research is to determine if there are differences in reasoning for milk choices between raw milk consumers and pasteurized milk farm-family consumers. Participants must be 18 years or older. To participate in the study or to learn more, contact Lydia Medeiros at 614-292-2699 or Janet Buffer at 614-247-8388. The study is funded by and the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Integrated Food Safety Initiative. Rio Grande offers tuition-free summer classes RIO GRANDE — High school students from around the region can take tuition-free summer classes this year and earn college credits for their work through the Summer Scholars program at the University of Rio Grande/Rio Grande Community College. The Summer Scholars program is open to all Ohio high school students. Students may range in age between incoming high school freshmen up to high school seniors who are graduating in 2011. Those applying for the program must have a grade point average of 2.75 or higher. Students in Gallia, Jackson, Vinton and Meigs counties need only to contact the guidance counselors in their respective schools if they are interested in registering for the Summer Scholars program. Students from outside of the four-county area can sign up by calling the Rio Grande Admissions office at 1-800-282-7201. “This program allows high school students to explore their interests or to begin to gain college credit at a very reduced cost,“ said Kenneth Porada, Ph.D., provost and vice president for academic affairs at Rio Grande. “The program is quite consistent with educational goals for the state of Ohio to enable students to complete their education and move to the workforce in an efficient manner.” “The program offers tuition-free classes,” said Amanda Shamblin, admissions representative at Rio Grande, about one of the many benefits of the program. “This program gives the students a jump on college,” Shamblin added. The courses provide great learning experiences for the students, and Rio Grande credits transfer easily to other colleges and universities in Ohio and around the country. The Summer Scholars program allows students to earn college credits now so that they will be ahead in their academic programs when they are full-time students at a college or university. The credits that the students earn in the Summer Scholars program will save them time and money in their academic careers. The program also allows the students to gain a better understand of what college-level courses are like and it gives them a taste of the college experience. Even if students are incoming high school freshmen, they may want to learn more about college classes, and they likely will be interested in the wide range of courses offered on campus over the summer. Rio Grande offers summer courses for students in numerous academic areas, and a large number of students take advantage of the opportunity to take the summer classes each year. Students from other colleges and universities who live in the region over the summer also often take summer classes at Rio Grande so that the credit hours can transfer back to their home institutions. The Daily Sentinel • Page A5 www.mydailysentinel.com Budget Meigs County Forecast From Page A1 vehicles at two gasoline stations, Cool Spot in Tuppers Plains and Hot Spot in Portland, because those stations maintain accounts for the sheriff. Beegle said, however, he pays the same price as any retail buyer at those stations. Before gas prices went on the upswing, it was sometimes cheaper to pay retail than buy from the local bulk source, Beegle said, but now, that is not the case. Because of space limitations in his own jail, Beegle spends a large part of his overall budget on housing prisoners in other jails, including Middleport’s village jail and the Washington County Jail. Transporting inmates to court appearances and for release, particularly to and from Marietta, is an expense made even more burdensome by the high cost of gasoline. Beegle said he has not tracked mileage deputies have traveled on regular patrol, but transporting prisoners is an absolute requirement before community patrols. There are also warrants and other court documents to serve, and emergency calls begging response. Beeegle has contracts with Middleport and Washington County to house prisoners, but Middleport officials hope their construction of a new 12-bed jail for men and women will solve problems for both the village and the county. Commissioners recently approved their first contract with the village for jail space, at $50 a day. That contract provides not only a reduced daily rate over the $60 charged by Washington County, but could save thousands in fuel for the sheriff’s department. A work-release program, proposed by Judge Fred W. Crow III and now being considered and discussed among other judges and county commissioners, is also a possible remedy to the high cost of transporting prisoners out of the county. That program, if eventually instituted, would place non-violent offenders in a pay-for-stay arrangement. Survivors From Page A1 to Meigs County cancer survivors. ACS’s Relay for Life Staffer Hilary Patrick and 2011 Meigs County Relay for Life (RFL) Chair Sherry Kinnan announced the RFL would take place on June 11-12 at the Meigs County Fair Grounds.
