' OdJBber .6.7 POMEROY - Prominent Meigs Cou11ty Attorney Bernard V.

One of his most recent gifts was $200,000 to the ere for the construction of the new University of Rio Grande Branch building near Meigs Hi$h School. At that recognition celebration in July, Reed an11ounced that the Branch would be named the "Bernard V. Fultz Center of Higher Education."

"All we could do was to say 'thank you' to this man who might well be called "Mr. Anonymous." At the recent Bar Association recognition of Fultz, Horace Karr described him "the best thing which ever happened to Meigs County" while former Commissioner Richard Jones called him "a giant of a man who played a prominent role in the community." The Fultz family moved to Meigs County in 1956 after Bernard graduated from the Ohio State University Law School. He joined, the practice of Manning Webster for a time, was elected prpsecutor for several terms, and then went into a private law practice. Despite hi s illness, Mr. Fultz continued his practice until only recently. His life was one of service, not only to his profession but to the organizations of which he was a member including Middleport-Pomeroy Rotary Club, the University of Rio Grande Board of Trustees, and the Columbus Regional Board of Review of the Ohio Industrial Commission.

IRAQ'S AL~ ·SAYS AllEGED BLACKWAI'ER SHOOTING CHALLENGES 'SOVEREIGNTY OF IRAQ~ BY JOHN DANISZEWSIU AND TAREK EL-TABLAWY ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITERS NEW YORK - Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri alMalik.i walked a fine line Sunday: confronting his · American backers over what he sees as violations of Iraq's sovereignty while stressing that his relations are rock solid with !he country on whose support he still relies. "Success is shared," he said in an interview with The Associated Press, referring to his deeply intertwined part· nership with President Bush and the U.S. government. "God forbid, failure is also · shared." In a half-hour talk conduct: ed in his Manhattan hotel · suite, the 57-year-{)!d politician from Iraq's Shiite heartland said it is unacceptable that U.S. security contractors would kill Iraqi civilians, a reference to a Sept. 16 shoot. ing incident involving com: pany Blackwater USA that · left at least ll Iraqis dead. He also decried a recent arrest by U.S. forces of an Iranian citizen who had been : invited into the country by · Iraqi officials. · Al-Maliki, who has been leading his shaky, strife-worn Cabinet since May · 2006, insisted that Iraq is nlaking progress. He said next year will bring still · · more · improvement to ordinary Iraqis' lives after four years of war. · In the country to speak at the U.N. General Assembly, al-Maliki is on his first visit to the United States since the recent reports to Congress by Gen. David Petraeus and Ambassador Ryan Crocker gave his 16-mohth-old government a mixed review. In spite of that; he appeare<;l to , : be in no mood to brook chal· · lenges 10 his leadership.

"If they do not return, we will go to the par· ticipation of the sons of the (Sunni) tribes." "We cannot remain with mmisteri~P seats that are empty, and we·are in need·of the efforts . of the ministries and the ministers to provide services (to the lraqts).

BY MATTHEW LEE ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER UNITED NATIONS Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice expressed · hope Sunday that key Arab · nations, including Syria, will attend a Mideast peace conference this fall hosted by President Bush. Rice said invitations haven't been issued yet but "we would hope that the invitations would include the members of the Arab followup committee ... charged by the Arab League wirh fol. lowing up with the interna•· tiona! communi~ on an Arab · Peace Initiative' to end the : Palestillian-Israeli conflict. ' The committee members : are Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, ·. Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, • Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, · Syria, Thnisia and Yemen. . Only two, Egypt and Jordan, . have peace deals with Israel · : and some, notably Syria and · Saudi Arabia, remain techni.· cally at war with the Jewish state. Rice told a news confer, ence after a meeting of the Quartet of key international players promoting Mideast peace - the U.S., U.N. , European Union and Russia - that there is an opportunity to move toward settlement of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict that "we should not miss." "I think that there is a sense • of mQ!Ilentum in support of the · Palestinians and the Israelis in their efforts to end the conflict," she said. Rice said that since it had been several years since the Israelis · and Palestinians expressed interest in discussing the core issues at the root of the contlict, "it is very important that the regional players of the international community mobilize to support them." That's why the United States is holding the conference this fall, she said, and why it hopes "that the mem· bers of the follow-up com· mittee would hopefully be there." Rice stressed that "the road ahead is one that is very difficult." But she add: "There is a lot of commitment and hopefully this time we'll succeed." A senior U.N. official said that members of the Quartet as weU as the Israelis and Palestinians will also be invited to the U.S. meeting. . Many Arab states have said they see no use for Bush's conference unless it has clear goals and a realistic chance of meeting them. The U.S. official said Rice believed she could allay those fears in her talks with the Quartet and the Arab League members on Sunday. Before the Quartet session, Rice held separate meetings with EU envoy Tony Blair. the former British foreign minister, and the foreign ministers from . Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. Asked after his meeting with Rice whether Saudi Arabia would attend the conference, the Saudi, Prince Saud al-Faisal, was noncommittal. The Palestinians want the conference to produce · an outline for a peace deal; the Israelis want more vague declarations .. Rice was in the Middle East last week and plans to return to the region soon to continue the planning for the meeting. Rice's visit last week coincided with Israel's decision to declare the Gaza Strip, which the radical Hamas movement seized in June, as "hostile territory." That designation dealt a potential blow to efforts to bolster moderate Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, who now runs only the West Bank. · Meanwhile, Israel ·on Sunday approved the release of 90 Palestinian prisoners in a goodwill gesture to Abbas. Palestinian officials reacted with disappointment, calling for larger steps at a time when the power struggle with Hamas and peace process are at critical points. The U.N. meeting will set the stage for separate talks. Monday involving Bush, Abbas and Blair. • Photo shows heavier Fidel Castro standing, meetingwith · Angolan president BY WIU WEISSERT ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER HAVANA - · Cuba published a photo Sunday of a standing, smiling Fidel Castro looking heavier but still gaunt as he met with Angola's president, the ftrst head of state to see the ailing 81-year-old since June. The piclure, which appeared on the front page of Communist Party youth newspaper · Juventud Rebelde, shows Castro in a track suit, athletic pants and tennis shoes.

More often than not, however, we fail to initiate these critical conversations because we feel over· whelmed and do not know how to get started talking, planning or taking action. D>scussions about advance directives, wills, . estate planning and funeral arrangements aren't just for the end of life. They really should be part of family life - a part of how we live our lives fully. Communication · and advance planning can ·reduce feelings of burden, guilt and misunderstanding. It can also lessen the potential for conflict that family members often experience when they· are put in the position of making deci· sions for others. Older adults may not be inclined to talk about endof-life issues. Yoit may assume that they have made plans when they haven't. On the other hand, they may have plans in place, but they have simply chosen not to tell you or have · forgotten to do so. Pre-planning .is important for financial issues and • "peace of mind" and could be presented that way. For example: "Mom and Dad, we've been thinking about a Barbara E. Riley series of life concerns, such as · wills, estates, funerals and things like that. Have you thought about making plans on these matters? We would hope that you do and . let us know so that your wishes can be followed correctly." Questions you may want to ask your loved one about his or her end-of-life care wishes include: • If you were dia~nosed with a life-limiting tllness, what types of treatment would you prefer? • Have you named someone to inake decisions on your behalf if you become unable to do so? • How would you like your choices honored at the end of life? •What can I do to best su~port you and your choices. Understand that it is normal to encounter resistance the first time you bring up this topic. Don't be surprised or discouraged; mstead, try again at another ·time. . Having critical conversations with your loved ones about their end-of-life wishes can be a sensitive discussion. Respect f.4at they may not be ready or able to face their own or another's mortality. Adult children are just as likely to refuse to talk about the topic as parents or in-laws. Keep it a conversation, not a debate . Be sure to make an effort to .hear and understand what Jhe person is saying. These moments, although ·difficult, are important and special to all of you. Some things you can do to help all parties be open and honest: • Listen for the wants and needs that your loved one expresses. • Make clear that what your loved one is sharing is important to you. Show empathy and respect by addressing these wants and needs in a truthful and open way. • Verbally · acknowledge your loved one's rights to make .life choices - even if you do not agree with those choices. Having these critical conversations is the best way to protect your loved one's independence in unpredictable situations. A good way to convince someone is by example. Do you have a will and other end-of-life plans? Your Area Agency on Aging (l-866-243-5678) is a good resource for information about long-term care options and legal assis· tance. • ANNIE'S MAILBOX Don't force issue with good friend By KATHY MITCHELL AND MARCY SUGAR .

IRAQ'S AL~ ·SAYS AllEGED BLACKWAI'ER SHOOTING CHALLENGES 'SOVEREIGNTY OF IRAQ~ BY JOHN DANISZEWSIU AND TAREK EL-TABLAWY ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITERS NEW YORK - Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri alMalik.i walked a fine line Sunday: confronting his · American backers over what he sees as violations of Iraq's sovereignty while stressing that his relations are rock solid with !he country on whose support he still relies. "Success is shared," he said in an interview with The Associated Press, referring to his deeply intertwined part· nership with President Bush and the U.S. government. "God forbid, failure is also · shared." In a half-hour talk conduct: ed in his Manhattan hotel · suite, the 57-year-{)!d politician from Iraq's Shiite heartland said it is unacceptable that U.S. security contractors would kill Iraqi civilians, a reference to a Sept. 16 shoot. ing incident involving com: pany Blackwater USA that · left at least ll Iraqis dead. He also decried a recent arrest by U.S. forces of an Iranian citizen who had been : invited into the country by · Iraqi officials. · Al-Maliki, who has been leading his shaky, strife-worn Cabinet since May · 2006, insisted that Iraq is nlaking progress. He said next year will bring still · · more · improvement to ordinary Iraqis' lives after four years of war. · In the country to speak at the U.N. General Assembly, al-Maliki is on his first visit to the United States since the recent reports to Congress by Gen. David Petraeus and Ambassador Ryan Crocker gave his 16-mohth-old government a mixed review. In spite of that; he appeare<;l to , : be in no mood to brook chal· · lenges 10 his leadership.

"If they do not return, we will go to the par· ticipation of the sons of the (Sunni) tribes." "We cannot remain with mmisteri~P seats that are empty, and we·are in need·of the efforts . of the ministries and the ministers to provide services (to the lraqts). We want to announce that 2008 is the year of services for the Iraqi people."

BY MATTHEW LEE ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER UNITED NATIONS Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice expressed · hope Sunday that key Arab · nations, including Syria, will attend a Mideast peace conference this fall hosted by President Bush. Rice said invitations haven't been issued yet but "we would hope that the invitations would include the members of the Arab followup committee ... charged by the Arab League wirh fol. lowing up with the interna•· tiona! communi~ on an Arab · Peace Initiative' to end the : Palestillian-Israeli conflict. ' The committee members : are Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, ·. Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, • Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, · Syria, Thnisia and Yemen. . Only two, Egypt and Jordan, . have peace deals with Israel · : and some, notably Syria and · Saudi Arabia, remain techni.· cally at war with the Jewish state. Rice told a news confer, ence after a meeting of the Quartet of key international players promoting Mideast peace - the U.S., U.N. , European Union and Russia - that there is an opportunity to move toward settlement of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict that "we should not miss." "I think that there is a sense • of mQ!Ilentum in support of the · Palestinians and the Israelis in their efforts to end the conflict," she said. Rice said that since it had been several years since the Israelis · and Palestinians expressed interest in discussing the core issues at the root of the contlict, "it is very important that the regional players of the international community mobilize to support them." That's why the United States is holding the conference this fall, she said, and why it hopes "that the mem· bers of the follow-up com· mittee would hopefully be there." Rice stressed that "the road ahead is one that is very difficult." But she add: "There is a lot of commitment and hopefully this time we'll succeed." A senior U.N. official said that members of the Quartet as weU as the Israelis and Palestinians will also be invited to the U.S. meeting. . Many Arab states have said they see no use for Bush's conference unless it has clear goals and a realistic chance of meeting them. The U.S. official said Rice believed she could allay those fears in her talks with the Quartet and the Arab League members on Sunday. Before the Quartet session, Rice held separate meetings with EU envoy Tony Blair. the former British foreign minister, and the foreign ministers from . Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. Asked after his meeting with Rice whether Saudi Arabia would attend the conference, the Saudi, Prince Saud al-Faisal, was noncommittal. The Palestinians want the conference to produce · an outline for a peace deal; the Israelis want more vague declarations .. Rice was in the Middle East last week and plans to return to the region soon to continue the planning for the meeting. Rice's visit last week coincided with Israel's decision to declare the Gaza Strip, which the radical Hamas movement seized in June, as "hostile territory." That designation dealt a potential blow to efforts to bolster moderate Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, who now runs only the West Bank. · Meanwhile, Israel ·on Sunday approved the release of 90 Palestinian prisoners in a goodwill gesture to Abbas. Palestinian officials reacted with disappointment, calling for larger steps at a time when the power struggle with Hamas and peace process are at critical points. The U.N. meeting will set the stage for separate talks. Monday involving Bush, Abbas and Blair. • Photo shows heavier Fidel Castro standing, meetingwith · Angolan president BY WIU WEISSERT ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER HAVANA - · Cuba published a photo Sunday of a standing, smiling Fidel Castro looking heavier but still gaunt as he met with Angola's president, the ftrst head of state to see the ailing 81-year-old since June. The piclure, which appeared on the front page of Communist Party youth newspaper · Juventud Rebelde, shows Castro in a track suit, athletic pants and tennis shoes. The Cuban leader appears to have gained weight and wears a warm half-smile as he shakes hands with Angolan President Jose Eduardo Dos Santos, who was in Cuba since Thursday on an official visit.

More often than not, however, we fail to initiate these critical conversations because we feel over· whelmed and do not know how to get started talking, planning or taking action. D>scussions about advance directives, wills, . estate planning and funeral arrangements aren't just for the end of life. They really should be part of family life - a part of how we live our lives fully. Communication · and advance planning can ·reduce feelings of burden, guilt and misunderstanding. It can also lessen the potential for conflict that family members often experience when they· are put in the position of making deci· sions for others. Older adults may not be inclined to talk about endof-life issues. Yoit may assume that they have made plans when they haven't. On the other hand, they may have plans in place, but they have simply chosen not to tell you or have · forgotten to do so. Pre-planning .is important for financial issues and • "peace of mind" and could be presented that way. For example: "Mom and Dad, we've been thinking about a Barbara E. Riley series of life concerns, such as · wills, estates, funerals and things like that. Have you thought about making plans on these matters? We would hope that you do and . let us know so that your wishes can be followed correctly." Questions you may want to ask your loved one about his or her end-of-life care wishes include: • If you were dia~nosed with a life-limiting tllness, what types of treatment would you prefer? • Have you named someone to inake decisions on your behalf if you become unable to do so? • How would you like your choices honored at the end of life? •What can I do to best su~port you and your choices. Understand that it is normal to encounter resistance the first time you bring up this topic. Don't be surprised or discouraged; mstead, try again at another ·time. . Having critical conversations with your loved ones about their end-of-life wishes can be a sensitive discussion. Respect f.4at they may not be ready or able to face their own or another's mortality. Adult children are just as likely to refuse to talk about the topic as parents or in-laws. Keep it a conversation, not a debate . Be sure to make an effort to .hear and understand what Jhe person is saying. These moments, although ·difficult, are important and special to all of you. Some things you can do to help all parties be open and honest: • Listen for the wants and needs that your loved one expresses. • Make clear that what your loved one is sharing is important to you. Show empathy and respect by addressing these wants and needs in a truthful and open way. • Verbally · acknowledge your loved one's rights to make .life choices - even if you do not agree with those choices. Having these critical conversations is the best way to protect your loved one's independence in unpredictable situations. A good way to convince someone is by example. Do you have a will and other end-of-life plans?

PLJT& ALL BUSINESS.· Fed's Bernanke isn't so conservative after all, as surprising rate cut shows .: BY RACHEL BECK AP BUSINESS WRITER • NEW YORK - In the clash of the economy titans, Ben Bemanke fopnd a way to steal the publicity thunder from Alan Greenspan's book tour: chop interest rates by a half pomt. Former Federal Reserve · Chairman Greenspan had been clogging the airwaves, pumping his new book "The Age of Turbulence" that hit bookstores on Monday. But his successor is now getting top billing, largely because Bemanke confounded the expectations he helped set. The former Princeton economics professor had seemed intent on buildin~ a reputatton as a conserval!ve inflation fighter. In recent weeks, he fed that image by asserting that the central bank wasn't in the business of bailing anyone out of the mortgage, or an·y other, mess. Bernanke said investors had to accept their losses and the Fed doesn't do badbet rescues. And he indicated that unlike Greenspan 1 he didn't intend to use mon: etary policy to restore confidence in the marketplace. That lever would be reserved for use only when the economy was in trouble. "It is not the responsibili- ty of the Federal Reserve nor would it be &ppropriate - to protect lenders and investors from the consequences of their . financial decisions," he said during a speech last month. That wasn't the Bemanke who showed up at Tuesday's Fed meeting. Instead, "Helicopter Ben" !Dade a surprise takeoff. showering big money on the economy in an attempt to contain the mortgage- and credit-ctisis fallout by cutting the federal funds rate 50 basis points to 4.75 percent.>It was the first decline in the key overnight bank lending rate since June 2003. Bernanke got stuck with the "Helicopter Ben" nickname after a 2002 speech when he cited a coordinated fiscal and monetary stimulus plan for a struggling economy as being the equivalent of legendary economist Mjlton Friedman's concept Of a "helicopter drop" of> money. Bemanke was a junior Fed governor then, and the topic of the day was warding off deflation. The · moniker stuck. So why the big turnaround now? It is true that employment declined in August for the first time in four years, indi- eating that weakening credit conditions and the housin¥ collapse have started to spill over into the wider ei:onomy. At the same time, we aren't in a recession yet and other economic indicators aren't flashing red. Retail sales and manufacturing are mostly holding up, even though the tightening of credit has set off turbulence 'in financial markets since mid-July. Maybe the Fed knows more about the risk of a recession than the public data lays out, but even its statement explained it cut rates as much to pre-empt an economic slump as to stem investors' jitters. One possibility is that Bernanke was mtent on warding off a tinancial crisis similar to ·the one that engulfed Britain when panicked depositors rushed to withdraw their ·deposits from mortgage lender Northern Rock after that bank ' had trouble raising fresh cash in money markets. Bernanke certainly doesn't want to· be the next poster child of central banking gone wrong, like Bank of England Governor Mervyn King, his British counterpart. King is facing sharp criticism over his refusal to deal with the British credit crisis until it was too late, forcing the central bank to inject money , tnto the banking . system to , avoid further trouble. While stock investors cheered loudly {or the Fed's rate . cut, · no one should ; assume that the sugar rush ~ Helicopter Ben and . the British government gave the markets will stay sweet for long. By knocking down rates, Bemanke could be fueling some big fires . He just bailed out many of the same institutions that ignited the . credit mess - including · U.S. mortgage lenders and , the Wall Street banks. The move may re-ignite the debt-mania, ·setting us up . for a nasty hangover later. Then there is the inflation question, with lower rates knocking down the U.S. dollar against other major currencies. That makes imports more expensive and increases pricing pressures - something that has been of great concern to the Fed.

"We need to gel back to Bush holds the opposite our roots, and I think view. George Bush thought that's Asked last week whether where he was going, but he he is an asset or a liability was led astray," she said. "His legacy's not going to be terrific.' Despite such deep frustration, Republicans on the whole still like Bush - and don't like those who beat up on him. That's prompted GOP hopefuls to tread delicately. They rattle off problems and propose solutions, seeking to make the case for change without going !IS far as to bash Bush, at least not openly. The straddle - and the absence of Bush in the race - was apparent over. the weekend as the four leading Republicans spoke to '1,500 GOP activists on an island in Lake Huron. In separate speeches spanning two days, they repeatedly invoked beloved conservative Ronald Reagan; Bush was hardly mentioned. · All laid out challenges facing the country, from national security to immigration reform to health · care, and argued they were the elixirs for what ails the GOP and the country. What little praise there was for Bush was muted by somber assessments of the challenges ahead. "Republicans for change," declared Romney, the former Massachusetts governor-who offered a blistering critique of the GOP. He !Ulued that Republicans bore JUSt as much of the blame as Democrats for failures in Washington, such as runaway spending and ethical lapses in his own party. He claimed he was best suited to lead a dispirited GOP in a new direction. He ~ gave Bush some praise for keeping the United States safe and restoring integrity to the Oval Office. When pressed, Romney refused to lump Bush 1h with the very Republicans he was criticizin¥,· 'I'm not pointing fingers," Romney told reporters in one breath, only to say in the next: "We have strayed a little far from our principles and vision, and I think that's happened over the last several years." McCain used his speech to channel Reagan, comparing the conservative behemoth who faced down the Soviet Union in the 1980s to his own calls for resolve · in Iraq and against terrorists. Never once did McCain mention Bush. though he generally panned the pres!-. dent's leadership, saying "the war in Iraq has not gone well." Rudy Giuliani skirted Bush entirely. He set up an us-against-them scenario with Democrats on just about every issue and argued the country woul¢ go baCkward, not forward,... under their leadership. He received perhaps the most hearty applause with his;, lone direct reference to the!: president for enacting II¢' cuts in 200 I and 2003. Giuliani said they helped put more money back mto the pri vale sector. As for Thompson, the former Tennessee senator painted a bleak picture -o f future if changes aren't. made, particularly on th<' economic front, saying ' "we're on an unsustainable' · path" and bemoaning the rrresponsibility of leaders · who haven't solved loom""' ing issues t11ough they've:;: had years to do so. ,':' "We've got to send ames~ · sage to politicians it) , Washington that we are bet- . ter than that," Thompson said. . .

CANTON (AP) - A recent opinion by Ohio's attorney general that school districts can't charge parents for ail-day kindergarten has brought confusion and concern, as administrators respond to many parents who believe ail-day · kindergarten is necessary to stimulate young minds in their most formative years. Education officials have been in discussions with state lawmakers about passing a .law that would allow districts to charge for ail-day kinderg!Ujen on a sliding scale according to parents' incomes. said Ohio Department of Education spokeswoman KarlaCarruthers. • Many parents said they want the option to send their kindergartners to school for a full day, and in some cases, are willing to pay for it. "The school has gone above what is required of them in offering these j>ro~s," said Julie Phillips. whose child attends ;til-day k:mdergarten .in the Marlington Local School District in Stark County. 'The bottom line is that · the fee is nominal compared to the education provided and is definitely cheaper than having the children enrolled in day care.'' . Without legislative action, Attorney General Marc Dann's opinion could mean that many districts will have to look elsewhere for funding or sh11«er the programs. · "Either way, 'i1 will be ·a llifficult decision for the dis· tricts," said Mary Jo Shflllnon Slick, general counsel for . Stark County Schools. "If they stop altogether, parents will be concerned.'' · Eleven of Stark County's 17 districts offer ali-day kinder. ga®n. Three districts charge tuition ranging from $150 to $225 a month, and some receive poverty-based assistance to help defraying the cost. Canton Local Schools has been creative, using district intervention and federal fuflds to pay for all-day kindergarten. Manley Local Briefs I 8Y UZ SIDOTI ASsOci"TED PRESS WRI'I£R .

PLJT& ALL BUSINESS.· Fed's Bernanke isn't so conservative after all, as surprising rate cut shows .: BY RACHEL BECK AP BUSINESS WRITER • NEW YORK - In the clash of the economy titans, Ben Bemanke fopnd a way to steal the publicity thunder from Alan Greenspan's book tour: chop interest rates by a half pomt. Former Federal Reserve · Chairman Greenspan had been clogging the airwaves, pumping his new book "The Age of Turbulence" that hit bookstores on Monday. But his successor is now getting top billing, largely because Bemanke confounded the expectations he helped set. The former Princeton economics professor had seemed intent on buildin~ a reputatton as a conserval!ve inflation fighter. In recent weeks, he fed that image by asserting that the central bank wasn't in the business of bailing anyone out of the mortgage, or an·y other, mess. Bernanke said investors had to accept their losses and the Fed doesn't do badbet rescues. And he indicated that unlike Greenspan 1 he didn't intend to use mon: etary policy to restore confidence in the marketplace. That lever would be reserved for use only when the economy was in trouble. "It is not the responsibili- ty of the Federal Reserve nor would it be &ppropriate - to protect lenders and investors from the consequences of their . financial decisions," he said during a speech last month. That wasn't the Bemanke who showed up at Tuesday's Fed meeting. Instead, "Helicopter Ben" !Dade a surprise takeoff. showering big money on the economy in an attempt to contain the mortgage- and credit-ctisis fallout by cutting the federal funds rate 50 basis points to 4.75 percent.>It was the first decline in the key overnight bank lending rate since June 2003. Bernanke got stuck with the "Helicopter Ben" nickname after a 2002 speech when he cited a coordinated fiscal and monetary stimulus plan for a struggling economy as being the equivalent of legendary economist Mjlton Friedman's concept Of a "helicopter drop" of> money. Bemanke was a junior Fed governor then, and the topic of the day was warding off deflation. The · moniker stuck. So why the big turnaround now? It is true that employment declined in August for the first time in four years, indi- eating that weakening credit conditions and the housin¥ collapse have started to spill over into the wider ei:onomy. At the same time, we aren't in a recession yet and other economic indicators aren't flashing red. Retail sales and manufacturing are mostly holding up, even though the tightening of credit has set off turbulence 'in financial markets since mid-July. Maybe the Fed knows more about the risk of a recession than the public data lays out, but even its statement explained it cut rates as much to pre-empt an economic slump as to stem investors' jitters. One possibility is that Bernanke was mtent on warding off a tinancial crisis similar to ·the one that engulfed Britain when panicked depositors rushed to withdraw their ·deposits from mortgage lender Northern Rock after that bank ' had trouble raising fresh cash in money markets. Bernanke certainly doesn't want to· be the next poster child of central banking gone wrong, like Bank of England Governor Mervyn King, his British counterpart. King is facing sharp criticism over his refusal to deal with the British credit crisis until it was too late, forcing the central bank to inject money , tnto the banking . system to , avoid further trouble. While stock investors cheered loudly {or the Fed's rate . cut, · no one should ; assume that the sugar rush ~ Helicopter Ben and . the British government gave the markets will stay sweet for long. By knocking down rates, Bemanke could be fueling some big fires . He just bailed out many of the same institutions that ignited the . credit mess - including · U.S. mortgage lenders and , the Wall Street banks. The move may re-ignite the debt-mania, ·setting us up . for a nasty hangover later. Then there is the inflation question, with lower rates knocking down the U.S. dollar against other major currencies. That makes imports more expensive and increases pricing pressures - something that has been of great concern to the Fed.

Despite such deep frustration, Republicans on the whole still like Bush - and don't like those who beat up on him. That's prompted GOP hopefuls to tread delicately. They rattle off problems and propose solutions, seeking to make the case for change without going !IS far as to bash Bush, at least not openly. The straddle - and the absence of Bush in the race - was apparent over. the weekend as the four leading Republicans spoke to '1,500 GOP activists on an island in Lake Huron. In separate speeches spanning two days, they repeatedly invoked beloved conservative Ronald Reagan; Bush was hardly mentioned. · All laid out challenges facing the country, from national security to immigration reform to health · care, and argued they were the elixirs for what ails the GOP and the country. What little praise there was for Bush was muted by somber assessments of the challenges ahead. "Republicans for change," declared Romney, the former Massachusetts governor-who offered a blistering critique of the GOP. He !Ulued that Republicans bore JUSt as much of the blame as Democrats for failures in Washington, such as runaway spending and ethical lapses in his own party. He claimed he was best suited to lead a dispirited GOP in a new direction. He ~ gave Bush some praise for keeping the United States safe and restoring integrity to the Oval Office. When pressed, Romney refused to lump Bush 1h with the very Republicans he was criticizin¥,· 'I'm not pointing fingers," Romney told reporters in one breath, only to say in the next: "We have strayed a little far from our principles and vision, and I think that's happened over the last several years." McCain used his speech to channel Reagan, comparing the conservative behemoth who faced down the Soviet Union in the 1980s to his own calls for resolve · in Iraq and against terrorists. Never once did McCain mention Bush. though he generally panned the pres!-. dent's leadership, saying "the war in Iraq has not gone well." Rudy Giuliani skirted Bush entirely. He set up an us-against-them scenario with Democrats on just about every issue and argued the country woul¢ go baCkward, not forward,... under their leadership. He received perhaps the most hearty applause with his;, lone direct reference to the!: president for enacting II¢' cuts in 200 I and 2003. Giuliani said they helped put more money back mto the pri vale sector. As for Thompson, the former Tennessee senator painted a bleak picture -o f future if changes aren't. made, particularly on th<' economic front, saying ' "we're on an unsustainable' · path" and bemoaning the rrresponsibility of leaders · who haven't solved loom""' ing issues t11ough they've:;: had years to do so. ,':' "We've got to send ames~ · sage to politicians it) , Washington that we are bet- . ter than that," Thompson said. . .

CANTON (AP) - A recent opinion by Ohio's attorney general that school districts can't charge parents for ail-day kindergarten has brought confusion and concern, as administrators respond to many parents who believe ail-day · kindergarten is necessary to stimulate young minds in their most formative years. Education officials have been in discussions with state lawmakers about passing a .law that would allow districts to charge for ail-day kinderg!Ujen on a sliding scale according to parents' incomes. said Ohio Department of Education spokeswoman KarlaCarruthers. • Many parents said they want the option to send their kindergartners to school for a full day, and in some cases, are willing to pay for it. "The school has gone above what is required of them in offering these j>ro~s," said Julie Phillips. whose child attends ;til-day k:mdergarten .in the Marlington Local School District in Stark County. 'The bottom line is that · the fee is nominal compared to the education provided and is definitely cheaper than having the children enrolled in day care.'' . Without legislative action, Attorney General Marc Dann's opinion could mean that many districts will have to look elsewhere for funding or sh11«er the programs. · "Either way, 'i1 will be ·a llifficult decision for the dis· tricts," said Mary Jo Shflllnon Slick, general counsel for . Stark County Schools. "If they stop altogether, parents will be concerned.'' · Eleven of Stark County's 17 districts offer ali-day kinder. ga®n. Three districts charge tuition ranging from $150 to $225 a month, and some receive poverty-based assistance to help defraying the cost.

The groups see the move as a way to help counties bring air quality standards into compliance with U.S. Envifonmeotal Protection Agency regulations by a 2010 deadline. Northeast Ohio needs a framework in place to retrofit pri: vate .and public diesel vehicles, said Jason Segedy of the Akron Metropolitan Area Transportation Study, which is compiling a list of recommendations for how the region can' come into' compliance with EPA standards for small parti; . cles in the air. .

Public agencies in northeast Ohio use a fleet of more than 6,000 diesel powered vehicles, including school buses. A slatewide grant or tax incentive program would be needed to provide financial assistance and encourage agencies io participate in any volun~ re~litting effort since it would cost about $2,000 per vehicle' io make the modifications on the engines, Segedy said. · -.· ' · The state of Ohio has already earmarked $16 million over two years for a statewide diesel retrofit program. · Aside from public vehicles, it could cost $177 million to retrofit privately owned diesel vehicles in northeast Ohio. The Akron study group is set to present its proposals for the retrofitting ·program to its governing board on VVednesday. . , Another group ex~loring the issue, the Northeast Ohio Areawide Coordinating Agency, also is finalizing its recommendations on how to reduce soot pollution. So far the organization is mulling 40 steps, includirig fining residents who Ii~t fires outside or in fireplaces on bad air days ~ The group IS also considering requiring trucks on the highway to submit to testi~g and face fines if they are deemed too dirty. Both. agencies will submit their ultimate recommendations to the Ohio EPA, which will consider the input when it develops the state's plan to bring the area into compliance with federal rules . .· Implementing such changes would lielp the region's attempt to meet federal soot limits, said Lynn Malcolm, executive director of the Akron Regional Air Quality Mana~ement District, .which oversees 'air pollution in Summtt, Porta~e and Nledina Counties.

He probably won't be able to avoid a NASCAR penalty. The . No. 99 Ford failed the . postrace inspection because the right-rear fender was too low. NASCAR will likely fine him and dock points that will push him down the standings and negate some of the effort from his win Sunday at Dover · International Speedway.

The big crash left Truex's crumpled car on the track wl:tile the race was red-flagged for nearly 12 minutes. The cars can be reraired.

Once the second race in the 10-race Chase was over, the points · differential among the top seven drivers was minuscule, guaranteeing heated jostling for positions down the stretch.· Edwards, who also leads the Busch Series, won the 1OOth career race for owner Jack Roush. Greg Biffle was second and Dale Earnhardt Jr. was third. Mark Martin and Kyle Busch rounded out the top five in a Car of Tomorrow race. Kenseth, Edward's Roush Fenway Racing teammate, had the car to beat all race and was absolutely dominating, even with an alternator problem earlier in the race. He was ·running up front until a busted valve cooked his car and his shot at victory. Kenseth went from running for a victory to just hoping he could salvage a top- I 0 finish. But seconds after the race went back to green with 27 laps left, smoke blew out the back of the car and he was forced out of the race. Kenseth, the 2003 champion, still has neo,:er won a Chase race.
