This bill - the so-called Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, which ~rotects against sell discrinunation - deserves its marquee status. That's not true of ·another major goal of the labor movement, the elimination oflhe secret ballot in unionization elections. The message Obarna sends on that legislation could tell us a lot about his presidency.. In the course of tbe campaign. Democrats used Lilly Ledbetter as a poster grandmother for the change they would bring. In 1998, the 70-year-old woman ftled a complaint against her longtime employer, the . Goodyear Tm: & Rubber Company. when she ' learned that she was being paid considerably less than men doing the same work.. Her case went to court. a11d she won. Goodyear was ordered to pony up back pay and damages. The company . appealed up to the Supreme Court. which ruled that Ledbetter should have complained within six months after the discrimination started, not after 19 years of second-class status . By a .5-4 vote,the court said the statute of limitations had run out on her. An an~ry Justice Ruth Bader Gtnsburg read her dissent from · the bench, Ohio Valley Publishing Co.

Obama is more than just interested in meeting with · the loyal opposition and listening to their ideas, should . they have any to offer. This president actually wants Republicans in the room when important legis.lation is being discussed, debated and ~rafted. Addressing their concerns and disagreements with one of the nation's boldest economicrecovery programs in more than a half century may just make it stronger and helter legislation. Strange, isn't it?

Friends may sign the online guestbook at www.whiteschwarzelfuneralhome.com Bonuses no·luxury for some Wall Street workers BY MADLEN READ AND MICHAEL LIEOTKE AP BUSINESS WRITERS NEW YORK To President Barack Obama, Wall Street's $18.4 billion in bonuses is ''shameful." To thousands of bank· employees who don't sit in comer offices, that money helps pay the bills. Outrage over the bonuses reached as high 'as the White House this week following news that financial firms were rewarding employees even as they were being bailed out with billions of taxpayer dollars. the feelings are understandable: The . average Wall Street bonus of $112,000 was about twice the average American's income. But the issue is a complicated one. While Wall Street invest· ment banks and other financial firms mak.e headlines for the millions paid out to certain executives, more mod· est bonuses· go 10 workers from human resources representatives to secretaries as well as employees who actually made money for their companies last year. . Jason Weisberg. vice president of the Wall Street brokerage Seaport Securities. said bank employees count on performance bonuses li~e salesmen count on commiSsions. "What are you supposed to pay them?" Weisberg asked. "Or are you not s~p­ posed to pay them? And if you don 'tpay them. how do you expect that employee lo stay employed at that company?" .

This bill - the so-called Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, which ~rotects against sell discrinunation - deserves its marquee status. That's not true of ·another major goal of the labor movement, the elimination oflhe secret ballot in unionization elections. The message Obarna sends on that legislation could tell us a lot about his presidency.. In the course of tbe campaign. Democrats used Lilly Ledbetter as a poster grandmother for the change they would bring. In 1998, the 70-year-old woman ftled a complaint against her longtime employer, the . Goodyear Tm: & Rubber Company. when she ' learned that she was being paid considerably less than men doing the same work.. Her case went to court. a11d she won. Goodyear was ordered to pony up back pay and damages. The company . appealed up to the Supreme Court. which ruled that Ledbetter should have complained within six months after the discrimination started, not after 19 years of second-class status .

Friends may sign the online guestbook at www.whiteschwarzelfuneralhome.com Bonuses no·luxury for some Wall Street workers BY MADLEN READ AND MICHAEL LIEOTKE AP BUSINESS WRITERS NEW YORK To President Barack Obama, Wall Street's $18.4 billion in bonuses is ''shameful." To thousands of bank· employees who don't sit in comer offices, that money helps pay the bills. Outrage over the bonuses reached as high 'as the White House this week following news that financial firms were rewarding employees even as they were being bailed out with billions of taxpayer dollars. the feelings are understandable: The . average Wall Street bonus of $112,000 was about twice the average American's income. But the issue is a complicated one. While Wall Street invest· ment banks and other financial firms mak.e headlines for the millions paid out to certain executives, more mod· est bonuses· go 10 workers from human resources representatives to secretaries as well as employees who actually made money for their companies last year. . Jason Weisberg. vice president of the Wall Street brokerage Seaport Securities. said bank employees count on performance bonuses li~e salesmen count on commiSsions.

Yet the humidity-mising chamber used to loosen the material consists of a homemade aluminum fr.une covered with a plastic-like tilm. It was built .with parts from Lowe· s that cost less than $500. The ~ork is being done in a warehouse and in a homemade chamber instead of . with state-of-the-art equipment costing as much as $20.000. With the recession tightening its grip. budgets being cut and donors drying up, preser>;ationists are scaling back on restorations.

Said Eryl Wentworth, execu,tive director of the American institute for Conservation of Historic &. Artistic Works. "It's so distressing to me because it's shortsighted," she said.

"People keep asking me. ·How do you like it here in the country?'. but this is the city compared to where I grew up. I'm very much at home ." From meeting a master hunter for the state of Ohio who lives in Keystone · Furnace to hanging out with fellow •lrchery enthusiasts in Galli a County. Hissa said he has enjoyed the past 18 months in Appalachian Ohio. ·''It's very interesting. very eclectic:· Hissa said of the region.
