TUESDAY, APRIL 12, 2011 www.mydailysentinel.com DJFS seeing deepest cuts, largest caseloads ever BY BRIAN J. REED BREED@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM MIDDLEPORT — The county agency charged with collecting child support, investigating child and adult abuse cases, assisting with unemployment benefits, and disbursing food stamps and cash assistance could feel the stab of cuts proposed under the new state budget to be approved next month. Programs through the Department of Job and Family Services are expected to be cut by 10 percent, except child support enforcement and Temporary Assistance to Needy Families programs, which are also expected to be reduced in funding. DJFS Director Christopher Shank said he does not anticipate any layoffs or furloughs at this point in the year, noting the budget as proposed has not been passed, and proposed cuts could be modified between now and next month. The agency has seen the loss of 16 employees through attrition since 2008, and that has saved the county $53,000 a month in wages and benefits, according to Shank. But proposed cuts in state and federal funding for DJFS programs will have a significant effect. A million dollars in fed- eral stimulus money funded a summer youth program last year and also filled “holes” in the budget left by other funding reductions, Shank said. That money has been lost this year, because it was originally sourced from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, the federal economic stimulus program. In information Shank provided to county commissioners, the director Spring fever Congressman sets open-door sessions outlined some possible avenues for saving money, including leasing of space in the second floor of the agency’s new One-Stop Training and Employment Center on Mill Street, and possible reductions in contracts with the economic development office, Council on Aging and Juvenile Court.

Fort Meigs hosting egg hunt POMEROY — For the second consecutive year, crime victims and survivors, as well as their family and friends, are gathering together for a ceremony of remembrance to commemorate National Crime Victims Rights Week. The ceremony, which is open to the public, once again takes place at 4:30 p.m., Wednesday, April 13 at the Court Street MiniPark in Pomeroy. This year’s national theme is “Shaping the future, honoring the past” and is organized locally by the Meigs County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office and its Victim’s Assistance program. The first ceremony was held last year after three homicides occurred in Meigs County in 2009 with Meigs County Prosecuting Attorney Colleen S. Williams remarking the crimes shook the “peace and confidence of the community.” Those three homicide RUTLAND — An Easter egg hunt will be held at 1 p.m. Saturday at Fort Meigs.

A passport promotional event was canceled because of the threat of a federal government shutdown, and passport agents including Clerk Diane Lynch were advised not to accept new applications because they might be delayed. The cookies were ordered, though, and staff had planned to be there, so the staff went to work, anyway.

Cancer care: Free help for patients High: 53 Low: 38 INDEX 1 SECTION — 10 PAGES Classifieds A7-8 Comics A6 Editorials A4 Sports A8-9-10 © 2010 Ohio Valley Publishing Co. BY BETH SERGENT BSERGENT@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM POMEROY — Cancer is costly in many ways, including financially. This week, the “Caring and Sharing” cancer survivor support group will meet at 6 p.m., Thursday, April 14 at the Mulberry Community with special speaker Kim Painter - the American Cancer Society’s Patient Navigator. The ACS Patient Navigator program offers cancer patients and caregivers a path through the cancer experience at no charge — pointing them in the direction of everything from arranging transportation to and from treatment to guiding patients towards appropriate financial assistance programs. Painter will speak to cancer patients and caregivers about the navigator services which are both free and confidential and place an emphasis on assisting the medically underserved — for example, those without insurance or on Medicaid. The support group and patient navigator visit were discussed at the most recent meeting of the American Cancer Society’s Meigs County Advisory Board. Other business discussed at the meeting: A Look Good…Feel Better session was recently held at the Pomeroy Library with Deborah Powell of Syracuse as the facilitator — six people attended. The ACS’ Amy Magorien commended Powell for her passion for the program and local cancer patients. Magorien is also seeking the services of another facilitator. It was reported the Meigs County Cancer Initiative, Inc.’s Tobacco Cessation Program is in flux at this time. Facilitator Lora Rawson resigned her membership due to her employment in Athens County. MCCI Member Jill Johnson completed Fresh Start training and Andrew Brumfield and Midkiff will do the same in the near future. It was noted that the sessions need to be offered more frequently to capture referrals while their interest in quitting is inflated. Also the demand for transportation vouchers via MCCI remains high with the price of fuel increasing as well as the number of Meigs County cancer patients. Currently, MCCI can issue a cancer patient one $20 voucher per week. Magorien said that ACS’ gas card program would begin again in April. Assistance is limited, therefore, patients should notify Painter about their interest as soon as possible. The Meigs County Health Department is col- See Care, A5 �The Daily Sentinel NATION & WORLD Page A3 Tuesday, April 12, 2011 Obama regrets vote against raising debt limit BY ERICA WERNER ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — The White House said Monday that President Barack Obama regrets his vote as a senator in 2006 against raising the debt limit — a vote he’s now pressuring Congress to take. Obama “thinks it was a mistake,” presidential spokesman Jay Carney told reporters. “He realizes now that raising the debt ceiling is so important to the health of this economy and the global economy that it is not a vote that, even when you are protesting an administration’s policies, you can play around with.” The country will reach its debt limit of $14.3 trillion by May 16. If Congress doesn’t raise it by then or shortly thereafter, the government would not be able to make debt payments, leading to an unprecedented default of the national debt and driving up borrowing costs for the government, U.S. companies and consumers, the Treasury Department warns. Republicans who control the House are threatening to withhold their votes to increase the debt ceiling unless Obama agrees to major spending cuts. The White House is insistent that the debt ceiling be extended without any attempts to cut spend- ing attached to it. That means Washington is right back where it started before the budget fight that nearly resulted in a government shutdown last week. Both sides show no give even though they’ll have to compromise in order to avoid an outcome everyone says they want to avoid. With the stakes higher this time, the clash over the debt limit that looks likely to consume Washington in coming weeks could far overshadow the budget showdown that ended in a last-minute deal Friday night. The White House’s explanation Monday of Obama’s changed position on the debt limit was an attempt to prepare for the fight by inoculating the president against charges of flip-flopping already being leveled by Republicans. Congress is forced to increase the debt limit every several years and it often turns political with members of the minority party withholding their votes to extract concessions or direct criticism at the party that controls the White House. That was the case in 2006 when Republican George W. Bush was president and Obama, a freshman senator from Illinois, declared on the Senate floor: “The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. ... Increasing America’s debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that ‘the buck stops here.’ Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem.” Today similar arguments are heard from Republicans. “The president has asked us to increase the debt limit, in other words to increase the limit on the credit card, without doing anything about the source of the problem. And we’ve got to deal with the source of the problem,” House Speaker John Boehner, R- Ohio, said Monday on Fox News Channel. “My members won’t vote to increase the debt limit unless we’re taking serious steps in the right direction,” Boehner said. Carney didn’t disavow Obama’s comments from 2006. But he said the president understands now that “when you’re in the legislature, when you’re in the Senate, you want to make clear your position if you don’t agree with the policies of the administration.” “But there are many other ways to do it,” he said. “We do not need to play chicken with our economy by linking the raising of the debt ceiling to anything.” Obama sizes up options for health care cuts BY RICARDO ALONSOZALDIVAR ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama’s plan to curb health care costs that drive the deficit will mean less taxpayer money for providers and more costs for beneficiaries as he draws from bipartisan ideas already on the table. But don’t look for his speech Wednesday to endorse a Medicare voucher system or turning Medicaid over to the states, as leading Republicans have proposed. Conceding the GOP’s point that government needs to cut and health care is one of the first places to look, Obama will try to change the direction of a deficit debate that threatens to get away from him. The president is using his speech to lay down broad principles and trace a path that could lead to compromise, but he won’t unveil a detailed program. White House spokesman Jay Carney said Monday that health care savings are essential to control the deficit. The spokesman indicated that Obama would build on the work of his debt commission, whose recommendations he initially refrained from endorsing. Carney also praised a small group of senators from both parties, known as the Gang of Six, that is trying to set up a framework for a divided Congress to reach compromise on deficits. “The president understands very well that health care spending is a major driver of our deficit and debt problem,” Carney said. “He believes ... we can achieve those savings in ways that protect the people that these programs are supposed to, and were designed to, support and help.” One proposal in the debt commission’s report last year called for reworking Medicare’s deductibles and copayments so that most beneficiaries have to pay a share of their everyday bills — cost shifts that in a few years would add up to more than $100 billion in taxpayer savings. In exchange, Medicare recipients would get better protection against catastrophic costs. There was also bipartisan support for scaling back the tax deduction for workplace benefits, which many economists say would be like putting the entire health care system on a diet. It’s strongly opposed by unions, a major Democratic constituency. And the wild card: curbs on jury awards in medical malpractice cases. Democrats and Republicans have been rigidly divided on the issue, an arm-wrestling match between GOP-leaning doctors and trial lawyers who tend to back Democratic candidates. A deal could lead to a breakthrough in other areas. Former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle said “there is virtually no likelihood” Obama will endorse a voucher plan for Medicare or block grants for Medicaid. But medical malpractice is another story. “He has already said he is open to ideas there,” said the South Dakota Democrat, an adviser to Democrats on health care issues. Obama probably won’t drill down to that level of detail on Wednesday. Republicans already laid down their marker. Later this week, the House will debate a plan by Budget Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis., which would fundamentally change government health care programs that touch virtually every family, covering about 100 million Americans. Instead of Medicare, people now 54 and younger would get a government payment to buy private insurance when they retire. The Medicaid health insurance program for low-income people would be converted into a block grant, allowing each state to design its own program. But the poor would lose the right to coverage under federal law. Ryan’s plan has been praised for its boldness. Even some who vehemently disagree with the specifics have credited the congressman for having the courage to finally start an adult conversation with the American people about the real costs of their health care programs. Obama’s approach would display another attribute that’s commonly ascribed to adults: caution. A Medicare remake would probably require a mandate from the voters that neither party can claim. In normal circumstances, the debt commission’s ideas would be considered far-reaching and significant. Compared to Ryan’s plan, they’re incremental. They leave the big health care programs in place, as well as Obama’s overhaul law, which Republicans would repeal. Obama is also expected to indicate his support for t h e e ff o r t s o f six senators who are looking for a d e fi c i t d e a l . I n t h e group: three conserva t ive R e p u b l i c a n s , S a x b y Chambliss of Georgia, Tom Coburn of Oklahoma and Mike Crapo of Idaho; two moderate Democrats, Kent Conrad of North Dakota and Mark Warner of Virginia; and a liberal Democrat, Dick Durbin of Illinois. One of the ideas they are considering would trigger the recommendations of the deficit commission, if Congress doesn’t meet certain targets for spending, taxes and deficits. Until now, the Gang of Six has worked in obscurity on what many consider a thankless task with dim prospects. The presidential seal of approval could improve their chances. Va. man pleads guilty in bomb plot, gets 23 years BY MATTHEW BARAKAT ASSOCIATED PRESS ALEXANDRIA, Va. — A computer technician from northern Virginia pleaded guilty Monday and was sentenced to 23 years in prison for joining what he thought was an alQaeda plot to bomb the Washington region’s Metrorail system. Farooque Ahmed, 35, from Ashburn, Va., apologized for his actions at a plea hearing in U.S. District Court after his lawyer explained that Ahmed had succumbed to a government sting operation after being seduced by violent extremist rhetoric from a radical cleric, Anwar al-Awlaki, and others. “All I can say is I’m sorry. It was the wrong action,” Ahmed, a naturalized U.S. citizen from Pakistan, told the judge in a low, halting voice. In a written statement to the court, Ahmed said that “no punishment could be greater than the disappointment I already feel for engaging in this conduct, and for letting myself and my family down.” It added, “I know that my conduct could have endangered many people, and I am happy that nobody was actually injured. I am truly sorry ... and I especially regret that I have let down my family (particularly my wife and young son), my faith, and my country.” Ahmed and his wife, who was present Monday but declined comment, have a 2-year-old son and have been married since 2007. After graduating from the College of Staten Island in 2003, Ahmed settled in the prosperous northern Virginia suburbs, where he took a series of computer-related jobs, punctuated by occasional periods of unemployment. Ahmed briefly had a job with an Islamic outreach group in 2005 but showed no outward signs of extremism until 2010, his lawyer said. Between April and October of 2010, Ahmed carried out a variety of tasks to advance what he thought would be an alQaeda attack on the greater Washington’s subway system, authorities say. He took video and scouted out several northern Virginia Metro stations and made suggestions for how to inflict the greatest number of casualties. Prior to the Metro plot, according to authorities, Ahmed had discussed traveling to Afghanistan to fight and kill Americans there. Ahmed pled to two IMF: Turmoil shouldnʼt derail economic recovery BY MARTIN CRUTSINGER ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — The world is facing new threats from surging oil prices, Mideast turmoil, higher inflation in China and Europe’s debt woes, but the troubles should not be severe enough to derail recovery from the worst global recession since World War II, the International Monetary Fund said Monday. In a new economic forecast, the IMF said the global economy should grow 4.4 percent this year. That compares with global growth of 5 percent last year. The IMF projects industrial countries will grow 2.4 percent while developing countries, a group that includes China, will grow more than twice as fast at 6.5 percent. “The world economic recovery is gaining strength, but it is unbalanced,” Olivier Blanchard, the IMF’s chief economist, told reporters. He said it would be critical for countries running large government deficits such as the United States to make progress in getting those deficits under control. At the same time, countries with large trade surpluses, such as China, will need to do more to boost domestic demand and not rely so heavily on exports to generate economic growth. The IMF’s new growth forecast was prepared for spring meetings of the 185-nation IMF and its sister lending agency, the World Bank. Before those discussions Saturday, finance ministers and central bank presidents of the Group of 20 major industrial and developing nations will hold closeddoor talks on Friday. The finance officials will try to assess how big a threat the rise in energy and food prices will be and also what they can do collectively in response to the political turmoil in the Middle East and North Africa. The United States is expected to keep pressing China to move more quickly to allow its currency to rise in value against the dollar as a way of making U.S. goods more competitive in China. China, the largest foreign holder of U.S. government debt, will be seeking assurances that Washington is moving to put in place a credible plan to deal with soaring federal budget deficits. counts: attempting to provide material support of alQaeda and collecting information for a terrorist attack on a transit facility, which carried a potential maximum term of 35 years. The defense and prosecutors agreed to the 23-year term as part of the plea bargain. Federal public defender Kenneth Troccoli said Ahmed comes from a prosperous family in Pakistan. His father, a bank executive, brought Ahmed as a teenager to the United States with the family when the father was assigned to New York for work. The family lived in Staten Island, N.Y. Troccoli said three things contributed to Ahmed’s decision to align himself with purported terrorists: exposure to radical Islamic rhetoric from alAwlaki and others; anti- Muslim discrimination that he and his family faced in the United States that contributed to his alienation; and trust in an associate who turned out to be an undercover operative for the government. The operative “led Mr. Ahmed to believe he was not alone” in supporting a terrorist plot, Troccoli said. Ahmed’s initial interest, Troccoli said, was to develop a website that would allow people to communicate about the plight of the Pakistani people and Muslims in general. But as the sting operation proceeded, Ahmed eventually agreed to take more serious action “that went beyond what he initially wanted to do,” Troccoli said. Ahmed became immersed in a fantasy world with secret codes and never shared his plans with his family, according to Troccoli. Had he done so, Troccoli suggested his family would have brought him to his senses. “Now that he has essentially woken up from this fantasy world he was in ... it’s like he shook his head and said, ‘What am I doing?’” Troccoli said. But U.S. Attorney Neil MacBride, speaking to reporters after Monday’s hearing, said it was Ahmed on his own who told the undercover operatives that he wanted to fight and kill Americans. “It all originated with Mr. Ahmed himself,” MacBride said. MacBride said that Ahmed was acting alone and the government plans no further charges against others as part of this case. “We believe a 23-year term is just punishment,” he said. 2011 Buckeye Hills Ohio Valley Expo April 16 & 17 • Classic Car Show ( Sunday) • Cosmetology Services • Craft Show • Health Fair • Lawn and Garden Equipment Demos • Fingerprinting of Children • Medical Helicopters • Live Entertainment Daily • Area Business on Display • Antique National Guard Rock Climbing Wall • Area Volunteer Fire Departments Baked Steak (Saturday) • Chicken Dinner (Sunday) Easter Egg Hunt Sunday 2pm 60186579 �The Daily Sentinel Holy Week services featuring “wake-up” theme SYRACUSE — “A Wake-up Call to America” will be the theme of Holy Week services to be held at the Asbury United Methodist Church in Syracuse, April 17-22, 7 p.m. each evening.

In February, the Ohio Donor Registry reached a major milestone of 5 million men and women – 5,002,268 to be exact – who have said “Yes” to the life-saving decision to register as an organ, eye and tissue donor. This is the first time the Ohio Donor Registry has exceeded five million donors since it was established by the Ohio legislature in July 2002. Yet even with millions of Ohioans making the potentially life-saving commitment to register as an organ donor, an urgent need remains in our state. More than 3,350 Ohio men, women and children are waiting to receive a life-saving transplant right now. Thousands more depend on tissue donors to restore sight or mobility. Even with millions of people registered, 179 Ohioans died in 2010 waiting for a transplant that did not come in time. In a 2010 study authorized by the Ohio Department of Health, 90 percent of Ohioans said they have a positive view of organ, eye and tissue donation, but only 53.4 percent have actually said “Yes” when asked at the BMV or have registered online. This year, the Ohio Department of Health’s Second Chance Trust Fund and Donate Life Ohio, a coalition of the state’s organ, eye and tissue recovery agencies, has set the goal of adding at least 240,000 new donors to the Ohio Donor Registry. Meeting this goal will help to reduce the time critical patients must wait for a transplant, Egg hunt at Forked Run REEDSVILLE — The Friends of Forked Run will sponsor an Easter egg hunt at the Forked Run State Park, at 1 p.m. Saturday. Children ages birth of 13 years of age are invited to participate in the hunt which will be handled in the age groups of zero to three, five to seven, eight to 10, and 11 to 13. There will be three gold or silver prize eggs for each age group. A highlight of the day will be the arrival of the Easter bunny. Children participating are asked to take their own basket or bag to collect all the candy-filled plastic eggs.

While our goal is large and the statistics are heavy, the most important number to me is “one.” Just one donor can make a tremendous impact to those who wait for a second chance at life, because a single donor can save eight lives through organ donation, and improve 50 more through tissue donation. One person can be a hero to an infant with a congenital heart defect, a woman who yearns to see her first grandchild, or a son who blows out the candles on this birthday cake and wishes only that his ailing father will be seated at the same kitchen table next year. “Don’t Let Another Chair Go Empty!” is the theme of the “Green Chair” campaign sponsored by the Second Chance Trust Fund and the rallying cry of those who know the impact one person can have by saying yes to organ and tissue donation. The Donate Life Ohio Green Chair signifies the people who wait for a transplant, donors who have given the gift of life, and the people whose chair has gone empty when a match could not be found in time—a scenario that occurs every other day in Ohio.

Republicans, just like President Barack Obama, may discover that’s easier said than done. The GOP budget expected to go to the full House this week would remake health care programs for the elderly and the poor that have been in place for nearly half a century. Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, RWis., says his approach would “save” Medicare by keeping the financially troubled program affordable for federal taxpayers. But it turns out that people now 54 and younger would pay the price. By one authoritative estimate, they’d be on the hook for most of their own health care costs after they become eligible for Medicare as retirees. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office says the typical beneficiary would be expected to pay more than two-thirds of his or her medical costs by the year 2030. Costs wouldn’t come down; they’d just get shifted. “It’s a political nonstarter,” said health care consultant Robert Laszewski, a former insurance executive and strong critic of Obama’s overhaul. “It kills Medicare as we know it, and that is simply too popular a program among seniors and their children.” Cue the Democratic political ads for the 2012 campaign. Republicans may escape the full wrath of seniors, however, since the House budget isn’t likely to get very far. It won’t pass the Democratic-run Senate. House members can vote for the budget’s tough medicine without having to dish it out before they run for re-election. But Democrats running against them in 2012 won’t let voters forget the budget, just as Republicans hammered Democrats last year over Medicare cuts in Obama’s health care law. Whatever happens to his budget, Ryan’s general idea that seniors should bear more direct responsibility for decisions that affect health care costs isn’t going away. “If everybody who bought health care was paying more when they get a more expensive plan, that would create a lot more pressure to bring costs down,” said Mark McClellan, who ran Medicare for President George W. Bush. “There’s reason to think that reforms that engage beneficiaries in getting less costly care will make a difference.” The principle behind Ryan’s plan is that seniors making their own decisions about health insurance can do a better job of keeping costs in check than Washington bureaucrats playing whacka-mole with rising prices. That’s different from the approach in Obama’s health care law, which relies on government to police the market and would deny insurers that jack up premiums the right to sign up customers who are receiving taxpayer subsidies. The GOP budget “will preserve Medicare through competition among health plans for the business of millions seniors,” said Ryan. But would it work as envisioned? Under Ryan’s plan, Medicare would remain largely the same for current ben- eficiaries and people within 10 years of retirement. The biggest change for this group would be the revival of the “doughnut hole” gap in Medicare prescription coverage that Obama’s health care law eliminated. (The GOP budget calls for repeal of the new law.) Then, starting in 2022, new retirees would get a fixed amount of money to buy private insurance from a choice of plans regulated by the government. The sick would get more money, the wealthy less. The payment would be adjusted for inflation. Ryan calls his approach “premium support.” Critics call it the voucher plan. The Congressional Budget Office analysis suggested the new system would start running into problems right away. Buying the Medicare benefit package from a private insurer would turn out to be significantly more expensive. Medicare typically pays hospitals and doctors less than private insurance. Without some kind of effort to control private health care costs, the government contribution toward premiums wouldn’t go very far. “I don’t believe you can pursue this approach for Medicare and not at the same time address the problem of cost growth in the private health care sector,” said economist Robert Reischauer, a former budget office director. “To do so would result in a two-tier health care system.” Reischauer says he’s sympathetic to the voucher system in principle, just not this version. Ryan had developed an earlier form of his proposal jointly with a prominent Democratic economist, Alice Rivlin, a former vice chair of the Federal Reserve. Although Ryan publicly cited her in unveiling his plan, Rivlin said she doesn’t support this version. The government health care payment in the GOP budget would quickly fall behind medical inflation, Rivlin said. “Ryan has lowered the growth rate so that it’s really punitive,” she added. Rivlin also says seniors should be given a choice between staying in traditional Medicare and a voucher system. She also differs with Ryan on raising taxes. “You can’t do it all on the spending side, because the cuts required are Draconian,” Rivlin said. Despite the political risks Republicans take with their Medicare remake, they won’t get much in savings over the 10-year estimating window that Congress applies to the budget. It’s because the shift to a new system doesn’t come until 2022. That’s not the case with Medicaid. The health care program for the poor would be turned over to the states and spending cut by more than $700 billion over time. Although the GOP’s 2012 budget reduces total government spending by more than $5 trillion over a decade, that still wouldn’t bring the federal budget into balance. One of Obama’s top advisers, David Plouffe, says the president this week will offer his own plan for reducing long-term spending. The details will come from Obama, Plouffe says, although the adviser acknowledges that cuts to Medicare and Medicaid will be necessary. GOP presidential field sees budget wars from afar BY CHARLES BABINGTON ASSOCIATED PRESS Republicans are pressing ahead with one of the most ambitious and risky long-term spending agendas in memory, yet the dozen or so potential White House hopefuls are nearly invisible on the issue. They can’t stay on the sidelines for long, however. The contentious debate will rope them in on terms they might find hard to control. The triumph of tea party candidates in 2010 pumped new urgency into a longbrewing Republican Party push for major cuts in domestic and benefit programs, including Medicare and Social Security. In the absence of a Republican president or clear-cut party leader, a littleknown congressman from Wisconsin seized the initiative. Backed by most House Republicans, Rep. Paul Ryan, the House Budget Committee chairman, wrote a far-reaching spending plan that right away framed the debate on Capitol Hill. His proposal for the budget year that begins Oct. 1 calls for cutting spending by $5.8 trillion over 10 years. Ryan, RWis., would reduce tax rates for corporations and the wealthy, and eliminate various tax loopholes. The blueprint aims to convert Medicare, the health insurance program for older people, into a subsidy or voucher program. Many probably would pay more for medical services. Medicaid, which helps the poor and disabled, would become a state-run block grant program, a shift that would reduce federal spending by billions of dollars. Democrats quickly pounced. “It doesn’t reform Medicare. It deforms and dismantles it,” said Rep. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, the top Democrat on the House Budget Committee. As for Medicaid, he said, the budget “rips apart the safety net” for the poor and elderly. Expect similar criticisms in 2012 the presidential contest, which is why Republican contenders must approach Ryan’s plan with caution. Ryan’s proposal for 2012 and beyond is unrelated to Congress’s testy battle over the current year’s budget fight, which nearly led to a government shutdown at the end of this past week. Attention now turns to Ryan’s plan and the fate of taxes, spending and the social safety net over the long term. “Paul Ryan is going to define modern conservatism at a serious level,” former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said on the radio show hosted by Bill Bennett, President Ronald Reagan’s education secretary. “The general shape of what he’s doing will define 2012 for Republicans.” Gingrich, who headed an ill-fated congressional bid to revamp Medicare in 1995, is preparing for a presidential run. Scott Reed, a Republican strategist who managed Bob Dole’s 1996 GOP presidential campaign, said Ryan’s budget proposal “will drive the debate through the nominating process and into much of the general election.” He said Ryan “has filled this huge policy void in the party with this very bold set of ideas.” Presidential contenders usually like to be the ones proposing bold solutions to pressing problems, even if it’s Congress’s job to pass budget bills. But Ryan has stolen that thunder, much as Republican governors in Wisconsin, New Jersey and Ohio have overshad- The Daily Sentinel Reader Services (USPS 213-960) Correction Policy Ohio Valley Publishing Co.

For now, the potential presidential candidates are keeping a low profile on the issue. Several have offered vague praise for Ryan, leaving themselves room to maneuver. Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney applauded Ryan “for recognizing the looming financial crisis that faces our nation and for the creative and bold thinking that he brings to the debate.” Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, who won the 2008 GOP Iowa caucus, applauded Ryan, but noted the proposal has little chance of enactment so long as Democrats control the White House and Senate. But Ryan’s plan has gained so much attention and praise in Republican circles that the contenders won’t be able to ignore it for long, if they want to seize control of the debate on their terms. Candidates who appear tepid about Ryan’s cost-cutting might lose favor in primaries dominated by debt-hating conservatives. But heartily embracing the proposals could haunt the eventual nominee if President Barack Obama can portray his challenger as recklessly willing to undercut health care for the poor and elderly. Dan Schnur, a former aide to Republican presidents and governors, said the contenders are smart to keep their heads down. “They can’t compete for headlines with either the governors or the Republicans in Congress,” said Schnur, who heads the Jesse M. Unruh Institute of Politics at the University of Southern California. “So they might as well keep their distance until the dust settles. But at a certain point, those candidates are 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 going to have to engage.” History suggests they be wary of seeking significant changes to Medicare, Social Security or subsidy programs without at least some Democratic support. One-party drives typically have failed. In 1981 and 1985, President Ronald Reagan and GOP lawmakers unsuccessfully tried to trim Social Security benefits. Gingrich’s failed effort to rein in Medicare in 1995 led to politically damaging government shutdowns. President George W. Bush got nowhere with his 2005 bid to partially privatize Social Security, which Democrats denounced. Happier results came from bipartisan agreements to raise Social Security’s eligibility age and payroll taxes in 1983, and to curb welfare benefits in 1996 under President Bill Clinton. Ryan calls his proposal a cause, not a budget. Such remarks may rally conservatives who say it’s time for painful medicine to cure the nation’s growing debt habits. GOP presidential candidates will need these voters in the Iowa caucus, New Hampshire primary and beyond. But by the fall of 2012, Obama may try to convince independent voters that his GOP opponent has embraced a partisan cause rather than a fair, even-handed spending agenda for America. His allies are laying the groundwork. Ryan’s budget “represents the victory of the tea party mentality over mainstream conservatism within the Republican Party,” said Bill Galston, an aide in the Clinton White House. If that message resonates with a wide audience, Ryan’s ambitious plan may leave a dubious legacy.

Lynch said she decided to keep her office open Saturday as planned despite the federal government’s cancellation, but was not processing applications. Ironically, Lynch said her staff of three would be paid in compensatory time rather than wages for their half day of work, because her budget did not allow overtime wages.

DJFS From Page A1 transferred ownership of the Mill Street building to county commissioners a year ago, and the One-Stop center occupies only the first floor, although the second floor is currently occupied by the University of Rio Grande’s Crossroads program. In addition to across-board funding cuts, Shank said the DJFS is also expecting cuts in other areas. There are proposed changes in the reimbursement rates under the state-run Medicaid program, although eligibility and services to clients are expected to remain the same. There are also cuts proposed for child care, Help Me Grow and agency management systems. Meanwhile, Shank said, a demand for services through DJFS grows. Child abuse and adult protective services and child support enforcement have all seen increases in demand since 2007, and providers say the economic downturn is at least partly to blame. In the past four years, DJFS has seen a 40-percent reduction in funding. “Agencies across the state are seeing the largest caseload increases in history, while experiencing the deepest cuts in history,” Shank told commissioners. Victims From Page A1 victims were also honored individually at last year’s ceremony, including Doris Jackson, Winifred Hardiman and Kenneth Rizer, Sr. Williams then spoke of two victims killed in a deadly car crash as a result of a driver who was allegedly under the influence. Those victims were Robert Harrison and Stephanie English. Rizer’s daughter-in-law, Melissa, is now an advocate in the Meigs County Victim Assistance office. Melissa is also one of the staff members involved in this year’s ceremony which she explained would include an opportunity for crime victims and survivors to speak, if they wish. These victims, survivors and their families are also encouraged to make a “memory board” about their situation — this board could include family photos, poems or other items that represent the crime victim and survivor and how that crime has affected their lives. In addition, this year, students in the fourth, fifth and sixth grade classes in the Eastern, Meigs and Southern Local School Districts have created posters to depict what the world would look like without crime victims. Meigs County Juvenile Court Judge Scott Powell will choose a winner from each class with Farmers Bank donating $25 to the winner and sheet cakes to the winning classes. Posters will be displayed at the ceremony on Wednesday. In addition, after the speakers, which will also include Williams and Victim’s Advocate Jordan Giuliani, there will be a balloon launch. Before the launch, note cards will be passed out to those who wish to write a personalized message about crime victims and attach the note to the balloon — the releasing of the balloon is a way of honoring the victims and a symbol of releasing grief over individual losses.

(AP) — Charl Schwartzel should’ve known it was going to be a very good day at the very first hole. After spraying his second shot far right of the green, he pulled out a 6iron, chipped the ball off a patch of trampleddown grass, and watched it roll and roll and roll — right in the cup for an improbable birdie. Think that was unexpected? The South African was just getting warmed up. He drilled his tee shot at No. 3 into the middle of the fairway, then holed out with a wedge from 114 yards for eagle. Not a bad start. It didn’t even compare to the finish Sunday. Schwartzel became the first champion in Masters history to close with four straight birdies, the capper to a final round like no other at Augusta National. Tiger Woods charged. Rory McIlroy collapsed. And just about everyone else seemed to have a chance to win on the back nine. “There’s so many roars that go on around Augusta,” Schwartzel said. “It echoes through those trees. There’s always a roar. Every single hole you walk down, someone has done something.” Especially on this day. At one point or another, eight different players had at least a share of the lead. The list included Woods, making a fistpumping, swaggering charge up the board. And Adam Scott, deftly carving up the greens with that long putter of his. And Jason Day, a Masters rookie who played like he owns the place. And Geoff Ogilvy, ripping off five birdies in a row on the back side. And Luke Donald, hitting the flag stick with a shot off one leg, then chipping in from the front of the green with his final swing. The top six finishers each posted scores in the 60s on a steamy spring day. The hottest one of all was a 26-year-old carrying on South Africa’s proud golf tradition, winning on the 50th anniversary of countryman Gary Player becoming the first international winner at the Masters. “I am absolutely delighted for Charl and South Africa. Congratulations and very well done to him. That is how you finish like a champion!” Player said on Twitter. One by one, all the challengers for the green jacket fell aside as Schwartzel birdied 15 ... and 16 ... and 17 ... and, finally, 18 — even though all he needed at that point was an easy little two-putt to win. “You know, I always thought if there was one (major) that I would win, it would be this one,” Schwartzel said. “This is the sort of golf course that suits my eye.” He was sure dialed in on those last four holes. Schwartzel got upand-down from behind the 15th green for birdie to briefly tie for the lead, only to have Scott stuff his tee shot within 2 feet up ahead on the par-3 16th. Schwartzel answered with a 15-foot birdie to catch Scott atop the leaderboard again. Then came the pivotal 17th, where Scott hit into a pair of bunkers and had to work hard just to make par. Schwartzel came along next and was dead solid perfect with his first two shots, setting up a 10footer for birdie. When it dropped, he had the lead all to himself for the first time all day. He finished it off in style, curling a putt from 20 feet into the side of the cup for a 6-under 66, the best closing round at the Masters in 22 years. Schwartzel finished two strokes ahead of Scott and Day, a pair of Aussies who valiantly bid to be the first player from Down Under to win the green jacket. Scott closed with a 67. Day shot 68. Neither score was good enough to beat Schwartzel’s 14under 274. “I couldn’t do any more than what I just did,” Day said. “Me and Adam played wonderful golf out there today, but Charl played even better.” Schwartzel had played in only one previous Masters — he tied for 30th a year ago — but he got a very helpful tutorial from a guy who’s won more green jackets than anyone. After finagling a lunch with six-time winner Jack Nicklaus at a charity function, he deftly broke the ice with one of their shared interests beyond the golf course. “I’ve never met Jack. I was really excited,” Schwartzel recalled. “I knew he sort of liked hunting a little bit. That’s the way I got the conversation going, just by talking about hunting.” Of course, the talk soon turned to Augusta National. And, boy, did the Golden Bear open up. “I’m thinking it’s going to be just a vaguely quick little thing, and he actually took the time to take me through all 18 holes,” Schwartzel said. “The way he used to think around Augusta. The way he used to play it, which flags he used to Charl Schwartzel of South Africa reacts after a birdie putt on the 18th hole during the final round of the Masters golf tournament Sunday, April 10, 2011, in Augusta, Ga. AP photo attack.” Schwartzel sure put those lessons to good use Sunday. It was the sort of finishing kick that Nicklaus turned in a quarter-century ago for the last of his Masters wins. For a while, Woods was the one rekindling memories of ‘86. Mired in the longest winless streak of his career and still tarnished by an embarrassing sex scandal, he ripped through the front nine with a 5under 31 that erased his daunting seven-shot deficit coming into the round. He made the turn with four birdies and an eagle on his card, the place in an uproar as they pondered the possibilities going to the decisive back nine. Woods got through the 10th and the alwaystroublesome 11th with pars, setting himself to really attack the course through the heart of Amen Corner. Instead, the course bit back. After a long delay waiting to putt at the 12th, Woods missed a short one and took bogey. At the next hole, he wasted a perfect tee shot along the creek line and settled for par on a hole that played easier than any other all week. The real backbreaker, though, came at the last of the par-5s. Woods gave himself a perfect look at the 15th with a tee shot to the top of the ridge, then jammed his approach within 5 feet of the cup for an eagle try that would’ve given him the outright lead. The putt lipped out. He settled for birdie. And everyone sensed that Woods, playing several groups ahead of the other contenders, had squandered his final chance. He limped to the finish with three straight pars for a 67 that left him tied for fourth with Ogilvy and Donald, four shots behind the winner. “I got off to a nice start there and posted 31,” Woods said. “And then on the back nine, I could have capitalized some more.” At least he didn’t finish like McIlroy. The seemingly unflappable 21-year-old from Northern Ireland was leading through each of the first three days, and went into the final round with a four-stroke edge on the field. Even after a shaky front nine, the youngster made the turn still one shot ahead. Then he fell apart. McIlroy yanked his tee shot at the 10th into the trees left of the fairway, the ball ricocheting to a spot between two of the club’s famous cabins. He pitched out through the fairway, knocked his next shot over by the scoreboard left of the green, hit another tree trying to get on and wound up with a triplebogey 7. Three-putts at the next two holes finished him off, though his misery lasted right to the end. He drove into a creek, missed two more short putts and signed for an 80 — the worst final round by a 54-hole Masters leader since Ken Venturi in 1956. “I just hit a poor tee shot on 10 and it unraveled from there,” McIlroy said. “I just sort of lost it ... and I couldn’t get it back.” Schwartzel had it all the way.

Complete results of the Belpre Shrine Invitational are available at www.baumspage.com Lady Knights win 2 of 3 at Magnolia Invite BY BRYAN WALTERS BWALTERS@MYDAILYTRIBUNE.COM NEW MARTINSVILLE, W.Va. — Two out of three ain’t bad, but the Point Pleasant softball team ultimately came up one win short of reaching the championship game of the 2011 Magnolia Invitational Tournament held Saturday at both Bruce Park and Hydro Field in Wetzel County. The Lady Knights won their first two contests against North Marion (71) and Linsley (8-0), then lost to host Magnolia by an 11-3 margin in the semifinals — which left PPHS with an 8-5 overall record this season at the end of the tournament. Point hammered out 14 hits in its victory over North Marion, but NMHS actually held a 10 lead after three and a Cottrill Liptrap half innings of play. PPHS scored once in the fourth to knot things up at one, then added two runs in the fifth and four runs in the sixth to pull away with the six-run decision. Kaitlin Liptrap led Point with three hits, followed by Kohl Slone, Reagan Cottrill and Kaci Riffle with two safeties apiece. Megan Davis, AJ Adkins, Ashleigh Diddle, Brooke Fisher and Sarah Hussell also added a hit each to the winning cause. Slone drove in a teambest four RBIs and Riffle had a home run in the opener. Riffle was also the winning pitcher against North Marion. PPHS never trailed in the second contest against Linsley, as the Lady Knights stormed out to a 2-0 lead after one complete and didn’t look back. Point added a run in the second for a 3-0 edge, then scored three in the third and two in the fourth to wrap up the eight-run decision. Cottrill led the offense with three hits, followed by Riffle and Davis with two safeties each. Diddle also had a hit for the Lady Knights in the win over LHS. Riffle was again the winning pitcher of record. Point Pleasant briefly led Magnolia after two runs in the top of the second, but the hosts coun- tered with four scores in the bottom half of that inning to take a 4-2 edge after two complete. PPHS added a run in the third to pull within 4-3, but never came closer the rest of the way. Magnolia added three runs in the fifth and tacked on four insurance runs in the sixth to wrap up the eight-run decision. Cottrill, Riffle, Davis, Adkins and Liptrap all had one hit apiece in the setback. Riffle took the loss against Magnolia. On Friday, Riffle threw a perfect game against Midland Trail en route to a 10-0 victory. Riffle struck out seven and issued no walks over three innings of work. Riffle also hit a home run and had a team-high two RBIs, while Cottrill, Davis, Liptrap, Adkins and Fisher each added a hit to the winning cause. RedStorm softball loses two at IU Southeast BY MARK WILLIAMS SPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL RIO GRANDE, Ohio — The University of Rio Grande RedStorm softball team came up empty on Sunday afternoon, losing both games of a non-conference doubleheader at Indiana UniversitySoutheast. Rio was shutout in game one, 1-0 and lost the second game by a 3-1 score. Rio Grande (15-17) was limited to two hits in the opening game loss. Junior rightfielder Marissa Lennox was 1-for-3 and sophomore centerfielder Jessica Gall was also 1for-3. Indiana Southeast (2218) pushed across a run in the third inning and made it stand up for the victory. Rio’s freshman hurler Amber Myers was the tough luck loser in game one for the RedStorm. Myers (2-2) gave up seven hits and one unearned run in six innings. She fanned two and walked two. In game two, the Rio offense was a little more active, collecting seven hits, but only denting the plate one time. The RedStorm scored their only run in the seventh to keep from being shutout. Sophomore Katie Fuller knocked in the run with a double. She was 1-for-4 in the game. Sophomore third baseman Jaymie Rector was 2for-4 and scored the lone Rio run. Gall, Lennox, freshman pitcher Brittany Fernandez and sophomore leftfielder Kaitie Stewart also notched hits in the game. Fernandez (2-3) pitched well despite taking the loss. She allowed six hits and three runs (one earned) in six innings of pitching with one strikeout and no walks. IU Southeast took a 1-0 lead with a run in the fourth inning and the Grenadiers scored twice more in fifth inning to put the game away. Rio Grande head coach Dawnjene DeLong again attributed the loss to the team’s inability to get timely hits and score runs. “Brittany and Amber both pitched great games we just struggled pushing runners across the plate,” DeLong said. “I have confidence in the team and I know we are on the upswing.” Rio Grande has now lost four games in a row. The RedStorm split the season series with the Grenadiers, each winning a doubleheader on their home field. Rio Grande will be back in Mid-South Conference play on Monday with a doubleheader at archrival Shawnee State. Game one is set to begin at 3 p.m. REDSTORM LOSE TWO AT CAMPBELLSVILLE CAMPBELLSVILLE, Ky. — The University of Rio Grande RedStorm softball team dropped both ends of a doubleheader on Saturday afternoon on the road at Campbellsville University by scores of 40 and 2-1. Rio Grande (15-15, 8-8 MSC E) had five hits in the opening game. Sophomore leftfielder Kaylee Walk continued her hot hitting of late, leading the RedStorm with a 2for-4 performance. Sophomore third baseman Jaymie Rector, junior pitcher Anna Smith and junior Stevie Sharp had the other hits for the RedStorm. Smith (8-4) struggled with her control in the loss. She walked six and struck out in six in six innings of pitching. Smith yielded four hits and four runs (one earned) as Rio committed three errors in the game. Campbellsville (23-20, 13-5 MSC W) scored one run in the first and three in the second and that was extent of the scoring. Kacie Vincent led the Tiger offense, going 1-for2 with two RBI’s and Alex Jane Clemmons hit a home run. Martina Riney went the distance for the victory for the Tigers.
