education met for a special meeting Tuesday morning for a levy discussion. The district needs just over $2 million each year for the next five years. Superintendent Don Diglia presented to the board the question, What is left to cut? His report shows how lean the school system is. I dont know where else we can cut. We are running at a minimum right now. The Ohio department of education has a formula for everything and requires state minimums, Diglia
said. The state minimum standard student to ratio is 1 teacher to 25 students. We are over the minimum standard. If we cut teachers, we would exceed violation of a negotiated agreement. We are at the lowest level we can function regarding the educational service personnel, he added. Diglia then turn his focus to extra-curricular activities, such as the arts, athletics, band, etc. If the school does away with these, there would likely be a mass exit and
the long-term effects would be longer than a year if only done for one school year, Diglia said. And, the leagues may not want to take Elida back and completely drop the school. The revenue that is made from the athletics goes right back into the program for things like uniforms and equipment. Its a wash as far as cost and revenue. So, what is on the cut list? I struggle to answer that question because how do you choose between all-day kindergarten and middle school sports, middle school language or
music, high school science, English
or a foreign language teacher? asked Diglia. The school cannot cut the administrators due to regulations that every school must have the services of a principal. Outsourcing for transportation was considered and in terms of cost and union staff, Barry Bryan, a consultant for the school, said it truly appears to be one of the best-managed he has ever seen. I find it difficult to recommend outsourcing and believe on the contrary; a congratulations on a well-run student transportation department by Greg Roth is in order, Bryan said.

it broke ground the first time, Apollo Career Center will break ground once again this time to mark the start of its $53 million renovation project. At 6 p.m. on June 6, Apollo will hold an official ground breaking ceremony at 3325 Shawnee Road, making way for badly needed facility renovations.

Elida readies for water,
aeration projects BY CYNTHIA YAHNA dhi MEDIA Correspondent [email protected] ELIDA Council passed pre-emptive legislation Tuesday to allow the Village of Elida to apply for loan applications for a threephase water system upgrade. Tom Mazur from the Lima-Allen County Regional Planning Commission outlined to the council what currently exists with the water system and the future plans for the village. The project would be in three phases over several years with a price tag of more than $4.5 million. Council voted and passed legislation on emergency with a 5-0 vote as application will be due June 5. Mayor Kim Hardy reported to the Elida village council that Jones & Henry Engineering Company has stamped the village aeration system project and it will now be sent to the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency. Hardy said he was thrilled with the results and now it depends on how long the EPA will have the report in order for the village to proceed with further actions. Village Administrator Scott Fessler asked for a 2015 Mack dump truck/snow plow to replace a 1997 snow plow be placed in the budget. The truck will be leased for five years and at the end of the lease, the village will own it. Council members passed his request unanimously. Fessler also reported the village has specific equipment that is unneeded and would like to place the items on an Internet auction. In the police report, there were 259 calls for service, 23 assistance from other agencies, 26 traffic violations, 17 arrests and two traffic accidents investigated. Councilman Claude Paxton reported the tree commission is looking at requests for the replacement of trees along Main Street. A representative from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Forestry met with the commission and went on a tour of the main street. They assessed the situation and will make a plan for the commission and return on June 24 to discuss the plan. See ELIDA, page 10

Energy-target proposal MECCA celebrates Towpath
Trail in New Bremen clears House committee INFORMATION SUBMITTED
COLUMBUS (AP) A contentious
bill delaying the phase-in of Ohios renewable energy and efficiency standards cleared a key legislative panel Tuesday, as state lawmakers seek to finish the measure before leaving for summer break. The proposal addresses targets for how much energy Ohio utilities must generate from renewable sources, such as solar and wind, by 2025. The House Public Utilities Committee approved the bill 13-9, sending it to the full House. Opponents of the legislation including advanced-energy companies, faith and civil-rights leaders and environmentalists have lobbied hard against the bills two-year pause in the standards negotiated by Gov. John Kasich and senators. They say such targets promote environmentally friendly alternatives to fossil fuels and create high-tech jobs in the growing alternative-energy sector. The bills backers contend the targets drive up prices for average electric consumers who have been given little choice in the matter. The measure cleared the Senate earlier this month after a committee backed off efforts to effectively repeal the mandates through a permanent moratorium. Current law requires utilities to produce 12.5 percent of their energy from renewable sources and 12.5 percent from advanced sources by 2025. The law also required companies to help customers reduce electricity use 22 percent by 2025. But the bill would effectively pause the progress on the targets for two years as a new study committee looks at the issue. The benchmarks would resume as scheduled in 2017 unless lawmakers act on the study panels recommendations before then. And the phase-in of targets would conclude in 2027 in order to allow
for the two-year hiatus.
The House committee made several technical changes Tuesday. They also added jobs and greenhouse gases to the lists of matters the study committee should review. Majority Republicans tabled a Democratic amendment to scrap the freeze while continuing to have the panel study the issue. Republican Rep. Mark Romanchuk of Mansfield also sought to make the freeze one year and expand the study committees scope. But his proposal was ruled out of order. Why wait two years when we can get it done in a year? asked Romanchuk, one of two Republicans who voted against the bill. Chairman Peter Stautberg, a Cincinnati-area Republican, said a oneyear freeze was impractical. You are asking a committee of legislators, principally, to get together and study a subject and do a comprehensive study on many different issues and come up with a report and the legislature to act, Stautberg told reporters. He said a year wouldnt allow enough time to achieve that. Republican Rep. Mike Duffey of Worthington said many Republicans believe mandates should not exist for renewable energy and efficiency and favor voluntary approaches to achieving such standards. Duffey voted against the bill after trying to offer changes to the bill that included a one-year freeze. He also lamented the House committees amendment process. A lot of us want to see something that is considered a compromise, he said, not just something thats being rammed down peoples throats.

Remains IDd as scheduled for July 31 soldier missing in Korean War
WARREN (AP) The military says the remains of a northeast Ohio soldier believed to have died in a prisoner of war camp during the Korean War have been identified. A statement from the Department of Defense POW/ Missing Personnel Office says the remains of 18-year-old Pfc. James R. Holmes of Warren will be buried Thursday in Arlington National Cemetery. Other service members reported that Holmes was captured after his unit was attacked in North Korea in late 1950 and that he died in a camp the following year. In the early 1990s, North Korea returned more than 200 boxes of what were believed to be remains of hundreds of U.S. military members. The Missing Personnel Office says scientists used forensic tools to identify Holmes remains and matched mitochondrial DNA to his siblings.

Family finishing planting
of garden, children winding down on school year BY LOVINA EICHER
The sun is shining this afternoon. We had
a thunderstorm early this morning. The rain kept us out of the garden today. Last night Joe and the children helped get more garden planted. We didnt get finished yet so hopefully itll dry up soon. Our soil is very sandy and dries fast so that helps. We now have planted onions, radishes, lettuce, peas, potatoes, red beets, green beans, cucumbers, corn, sweet peppers, tomatoes, cabbage, banana and hot peppers. Need to plant more corn, watermelon, zucchini and more potatoes yet. So far we have potatoes, peas, radishes, onions, lettuce and corn coming up. Everything is late this year. The boys were mowing our grass for the second time this year. Usually it would have had to be mowed a lot sooner. Daughter Lovina had a very happy 10th birthday on Sunday. We attended church during the day. In the evening, we went to Jacob and Emmas house for fried and grilled mushrooms. They had an abundance of mushrooms. Also on the menu was grilled ham, asparagus casserole, sliced tomatoes, cheese, watermelon, chocolate cake and ice cream. Tomorrow, May 22, I will turn another year older 43 years. Sounds old and makes you dread to see your age get higher up there. Jacob, Emma and family and sisters Verena and Susan and our daughters friends Timothy and Mose will come tomorrow evening in honor of my birthday. School doors will be closing soon, two more weeks left after this week.
SATURDAY 9 a.m.-noon Interfaith Thrift Store is open for shopping. St. Vincent dePaul Society, located at the east edge of the St. Johns High School parking lot, is open. 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Delphos Postal Museum is open.

Be an upstander An upstander is someone who takes action on behalf of others. We all have a choice to be a passive bystander who does nothing and adds to the problem, or to be an upstander who responds to the problem in a positive way. The true weapon against bullying is to be an upstander. Caring for others enables you to find the strength to stand up for them and try to protect them. Ways to be an Upstander: Help others who are being bullied Stop untrue or harmful messages from spreading Get friends involved Make friends outside of your circle Be aware of the bullying policy at your school and keep it in mind when you witness bullying Make an effort to make new students feel comfortable and introduce them around Refuse to be a bystander/witness Respect others differences and help others to do the same.
No bullying zone
The more you know about an issue,
the better prepared you are to deal with it. An upstander knows as much as possible about issues so they can be prepared to do the right thing, even when it comes to bullying. There are different types of bullying. Physical bullying means hitting, shoving or getting someone to hurt another person. When someone is a verbal bully, they hurt by teasing, making racial or ethnic slurs, harassment or spreading rumors. But a bully doesnt have to talk. Nonverbal bullying means making rude gestures or leaving someone out on purpose. And cyber bullying is done online on a computer or by phone. A cyber bully sends mean or threatening messages or pictures, posts private information and/or lies about another person, pretends to be someone else in order to make that person look bad or leaves someone out of an online group on purpose, kind of like non-verbal bullying. A victim of bullying may live with fear and anxiety, often missing out on fun activities because of the fear or because they feel bad about themselves.
A bully can be their own worst enemy,
too. They are often disliked by others, and have trouble making and keeping friends. They may not be successful in school or at work. Depending on the extent of their bullying, they could face possible suspension, expulsion and/or arrest. Solutions
If you are a victim of bullying or see
bullying happen, tell a trusted adult. Stay in a group. If it feels safe, stand up to the person who is bullying you. If the issue is cyber bullying, save messages or pictures to prove what is happening and contact your internet provider to identify the cyber bully. Tell your school if this involves another student. If you are a bully, get help. Talk to a counselor or an adult you trust at school and learn how to change your behavior. Find an article in the newspaper about how peer pressure influenced somebodys behavior. Write a letter to that person suggesting how they could have demonstrated self-discipline and responded to the situation differently.

Being Diabetic, I never had pain-free feet - UNTILNOW!
Pain Doctor Discovers Blood FlowBusting Material Into Miracle Socks
boost oxygen flow, and eliminate foot fatigue - naturally in as little as 5 minutes!
What part of your swollen, tired,
or achy feet would you like to see go-away? If you suffer from poor circulation, injury, swelling or any condition that leaves your feet fatigued and sore, then read on to discover the breakthrough that can change your life. Good news comes in the form of a pain-busting microfiber that is used to weave a circulation-boosting sock, called BambusaTM. Better Blood Flow The miracle sock is made from a new, patented anion-technology that is weaved into every strand of thread used to make a BambusaTM sock. This special micro-fiber thread is made from revolutionary bamboo charcoal to stimulate blood flow andrevitalize feet. When this material comes in contact with body-heat it is proven to release circulation-boosting ions. The 3D-weave technology used in the material has been compared to infrared light therapy to help revitalize stiff and sore muscles. The manufacturer, who also makes a back and wrist sleeve, says the material provides almost instant relief to any part of the body it touches, making it ideal for diabetics, athletes,inflammation, stiffness and swelling. Anne M. from California agrees. Bambusa socks are absolutely the most comfortable socks I have ever worn! My feet are no longer fatigued! Therapy Without A Prescription! When the socks were photographed using a thermographic imaging camera, results showed up to a 17% to 22% increase in blood flow. This helped to improvemuscle oxygenation and decrease foot fatigue. The socks have been proven to provide extended relief from cold, swollen and fatigued feet. Doctor Recommended Pain specialist of 30 years, Dr. Jahner comments on the 3D-weave technology. Infrared therapy has been used for years at medical clinics to treat vascular and circulatory conditions. Physical therapists use infrared therapy to speed recovery. Better blood flow equals less pain. This microfiber works much the same way.
Thermographic Imaging Without Wearing BambusaTM sock
After Wearing BambusaTM sock
Max Temp with no BambusaTM 29.4o C
Max Temp with BambusaTM 33.4o C
The infrared anions generated by the charcoal bamboo increase blood flow and deliver oxygen to the tissues. After wearing for only minutes there is an increase in temperature due to the increased blood flow, resulting in improved comfort and reduced swelling. Twenty minutes after using the anion-fiber infused socks, patient has better blood flow and less numbness. "Circulatory dysfunction affects MOST of the adult population in the United States. Heart Disease, Strokes and Diabetic conditions are at epidemic levels; anything that improves circulation improves cellular health and vitality. I use the Bambusa product myself and recommend it to my clients. It really works! states Dr Jahner. Results in Minutes? John G. of California claims he felt immediate results with his tired, swollen feet. Without exaggeration the relief was almost instantaneous. It is like a heating pad set to low and wrapped around my calf. I will be replacing my entire set of dress socks with these socks! Relief for Tired, Swollen Feet BambusaTM socks are not a medical device or compression socks because they dont restrict blood flow. Utilizing the special negativeanion technology, they comfortably increase blood flow and oxygen to tissues. My feet felt wonderful, cool, and I never got that pins and needles feeling anymore. I love my BambusaTM socks, says Nancy, from NJ. They are ideal for diabetics and those suffering from neuropathy or injury from repetitive use. BambusaTM socks can also bring comfort to tired legs within minutes of putting them on, energizing individuals who spend long hours on their feet. Goodbye to Pain and Numbness Marilyn H. has suffered persistent foot problems for years and noticed fast results. The issue for me was persistent numbness in my toes - it was gone completely after a few days of wearing these socks! Being diabetic, I never had painfree feet - UNTILNOW!
I went out on the golf course
for 18 holes of golf, and when I got home my feet werent swollen, they werent sweating and my feet didnt hurt, says Lou B. from New York. BENEFITS: Increased blood flow and oxygen Reduced swelling and pain Anti-microbial Wicks away moisture Increased range of motion IDEALFOR: Neuropathy Raynaud's Syndrome Cramping Cold Feet Tom from NJ reports, I suffer from chronic foot cramps. My feet were sore for days after the cramping. My wife gave me the BambusaTM socks, I wore them, and the foot cramps stopped. I replaced all my socks with BambusaTM. My feet feel great now.

Getting to the US Open is always the 1st step
By DOUG FERGUSON Associated Press
Pablo Larrazabal at Wentworth and Brendon Todd at Colonial
played well enough to move into the top 60 in the world ranking this week and avoided having to qualify for the U.S. Open. That could go a long way. The first step toward winning the U.S. Open is securing a tee time. Angel Cabrera is a good example of that. The Argentine described the first of his two majors as a bit of a shock when he won the 2007 U.S. Open at Oakmont. Because when I arrived at the U.S. Open, I wasnt playing great, he said. My game was a little bit I wasnt playing really pure at the time. Larrazabal and Todd are different in that respect. Todd is coming off his first win at the Byron Nelson. Larrazabal won earlier this year in Abu Dhabi. Seven years ago, only the top 50 were exempt from qualifying. In the final event before the cutoff, Cabrera was outside the top 50 when he closed with a 70 at the BMW PGA Championship and tied for fifth to sneak into the top 50. A month later, he was the toast of Pittsburgh as the first South American to win the U.S. Open. A long shot? He sure looked like one to Graeme McDowell. McDowell recalled playing a nine-hole practice round with Cabrera on the eve of that U.S. Open. He never would have guessed the Argentine would be posing with the trophy at the end of the week. Im out there doing my thing, looking at lines, chipping, grinding, signing autographs, McDowell recalled. Angel stepped up on every tee, flushed it down the middle, hit onto the green, whiffed at a putt near the hole and scooped it up. Every time I got to the tee, hed be waiting for me for 15 minutes. He chain-smoked three cigarettes and was just looking at me. He just seemed miserable. I said, Thats OK. This guy doesnt want to be here. That Cabrera would go on to win by one shot over Tiger Woods and Jim Furyk is still amazing to McDowell when he looks back
on that practice round.
Im grinding away. I thought, This place is brutal. And he literally did not chip or putt, McDowell said. All he did was chain smoke at the back of the tee box waiting on me. A HELPING TIGER: During his most dominant years, Tiger Woods did plenty to help the cause of the U.S. Open qualifier. He was winning so many majors and was a perennial No. 1 in the ranking and money lists that he effectively created extra spots that were awarded to sectional qualifying sites. The U.S. Open reserves spots for the previous five winners of the Masters, British Open and PGA Championship and the 10 previous winners of the U.S. Open. For the 2009 tournament, as an example, Woods had won three of the last 10 U.S. Opens, one of the last five Masters and two each of the previous five British Opens and PGAs. Throw in the other criteria (top 30 on the money list, multiple winners, world ranking) and Woods created an additional 12 spots in qualifying. This year, mainly because of his drought in the majors, Woods has created an additional four spots. He likely could create a fifth spot if hes not healthy enough to play. DeJONGE INSPIRATION: For those players who withdraw after a big score in the opening round, Brendon de Jonge showed whats possible at the Wells Fargo Championship. He opened with an 80, followed with a 62 to tie the course record at Quail Hollow and at one point was only two shots out of the lead on Sunday. He wound up in a tie for sixth, worth $239,775 and 95 points toward the FedEx Cup. That could go a long way. Lesson learned? Maybe. Curtis Strange nearly won the Masters after shooting 80, didnt he? Geoff Ogilvy asked, correctly remembering 1985. Guys will remember it for a week or two. I dont think theyll remember it forever. De Jonge is not one to WD, though it helped that he lives in Charlotte. But to shoot 62? Thats ridiculous, Jimmy Walker said. How can you do that? Its golf, thats how you can. Ive always felt like
theres a chance. If I ever withdraw, its because Im legitimately
hurt. I did that in the final round at Tampa one year because my neck went out. Its got to be really bad for me to quit. Ogilvy recalls being inspired by Tiger Woods in his pro debut at the Masters. Woods started the tournament with a 40 on the front nine. By Sunday, he had set the tournament record at 18-under 270 and won by a record 12 shots. For a few years post-97 Masters, if I shot 40 on the front nine and I would say, Tiger shot 18 under after a 40 on the front nine. I definitely thought about that when I was over par in early, he added. Youre never out of it. Theres rarely an excuse to not play the next 18 if you can function. CVS CHARITY CLASSIC: Steve Stricker returns to defend the only title he won last year in the CVS Charity Classic. The 36-hole event hosted by Brad Faxon and Billy Andrade is at Rhode Island Country Club on June 23-24, right after the U.S. Womens Open. Stricker won last year with Bo Van Pelt. They will be joined by Matt Kuchar, Zach Johnson and Jason Dufner, along with Juli Inkster and Lexi Thompson from the LPGA Tour. Inkster was the first female to play and is competing for the seventh year. Peter Jacobsen will be playing for the 16th straight time. The event has raised more than $17 million for New England charities. DIVOTS: BMW of North America has extended its title sponsorship on the PGA Tour for five more years through 2015. The BMW Championship, the third of the FedEx Cup playoff events, will be played this year at Cherry Hills outside Denver. Rick Singer, vice president of client executive marketing at IBM, has been appointed president and CEO of the Tiger Woods Foundation. Singer starts his job next week. He replaces Greg McLaughlin, who left after nearly two decades to become an executive with the PGA Tour. Luke Donalds wife went into labor a month early and delivered their third daughter, Georgina Campbell, last Friday. Donald was playing the BMW PGA Championship in England and could not get back to Chicago in time. He finished out the tournament and tied for third. Jessica Kordas victory in Alabama means Americans now have won seven of the 12 tournaments on the LPGA Tour this year. STAT OF THE WEEK: Adam Scott was the third player in the last 15 years to win the week after becoming No. 1 in the world for the first time. The others were Vijay Singh at the 2004 Canadian Open and David Duval at the 1999 BellSouth Classic. FINAL WORD: Were nearly halfway through the season. I feel like mine is just beginning. Rory McIlroy after his win in the BMW PGA Championship.

BUSINESS
The CEO got a huge raise.
You didnt. Heres why. BY JOSH BOAK Associated Press
WASHINGTON Pay for globe-trotting
CEOs has soared to new heights, even as most workers remain grounded by paychecks that are barely budging. While pay for the typical CEO of a company in the Standard & Poors 500 stock index surged 9 percent last year to $10.46 million, it rose a scant 1.3 percent for U.S. workers as a whole. That CEO now earns 257 times the national average, up from a multiple of 181 in 2009, according to an analysis by The Associated Press and Equilar. Those figures help reveal a widening gap between the ultra-wealthy and ordinary workers around the world. That gap has fed concerns about economic security everywhere from large cities where rents are high to small towns where jobs are scarce. Here are five reasons why CEOs are enjoying lavish pay increases and five reasons many people are stuck with stagnant incomes. Why CEOs are getting huge raises 1. Theyre paid heavily in stock. Unlike most workers, chief executives receive much of their compensation in the form of company stock a lot of it. The theory behind compensating CEOs this way is that it aligns the interests of senior management with those of shareholders, which would seem beneficial for a company. Yet accounting scandals of the early 2000s showed that some executives gamed the system, ultimately at shareholder expense. Executives at firms such as Tyco and Enron tinkered with the books to boost corporate incomes, share prices and the fortunes of insiders and senior managers. Still, the bonanza continues. The average value of stock awarded to CEOs surged 17 percent last year to $4.5 million, the largest increase ever recorded by the AP. Remember, too: Long-term gains on stocks are taxed at lower rates than ordinary pay is. The S&P 500 jumped 30 percent last year, compounding the size of the CEOs paydays.
Consider Leslie Moonves of CBS, whose stock
climbed at twice the rate of the overall stock market. Moonves collected $65.6 million. The stock rally has been fueled in part by historically low interest rates engineered by the Federal Reserve. Those rates led many investors to shift money out of low-yielding bonds and into stocks. 2. Peer pressure. Robert Solow, a Nobel Prize-winning economist, recently observed that CEOs live in Lake Wobegon, that fabled town created by radio show host Garrison Keillor where, it is said, all the children are above average. Solow didnt mean it as a compliment. Corporate boards often set CEO pay based on what the leaders of other companies make. No board wants an average CEO. So boards tend to want to pay their own CEO more than rival CEOs who are chosen for benchmarking compensation packages. This will naturally create an upward bias in pay, Charles Elson and Craig Ferrere of the University of Delaware concluded in a 2012 paper. (T)he compounded effect has been to create a significant disparity between the pay of executives and what is appropriate to the companies they run. 3. The superstar effect. Companies often portray their CEOs as the business equivalents of LeBron James or Peyton Manning athletes who command (and deserve) enormous pay for their performance and ability to draw crowds. The era of digital communication and private jets has given leading athletes, entertainers and business people the global reach to generate outsized profits. The late University of Chicago economist Sherwin Rosen theorized that this phenomenon would concentrate more income with the top players. As corporate giants compete around the world, the drive to procure corporate superstars has helped inflate CEO pay. See RAISE, page 10

DEAR BRUCE: I am starting a small business, and one of the buildings I am looking at has a tax lien against it from the previous owner. How will that affect a potential small-business loan? Will a bank allow me to use part of the loan to pay off the tax lien, or does that have to be paid out-ofpocket? -- J.H. DEAR J.H.: If the bank will allow you to borrow money to retire the lien, that would be the simplest way to handle the matter. Failing that, dont buy the building unless the lien is satisfied by the previous owner at the same time the sale is consummated. The last thing you need is to have your life complicated with a lien of

Rod McKuen and his poetry live on by Gary Clothier
Q: Is the poet Rod
McKuen still living? -- S.E.B., Fort Scott, Kan. A: Rod McKuen is very much alive. He lives in Southern California with his brother and four cats. Rodney Marvin McKuen was born in Oakland, Calif., in 1933. After leaving home at a young age, he had a series of jobs, including logger, ranch hand and rodeo cowboy. He lacked a formal education, but he kept a journal, which helped develop his writing and poetry skills. During the Korean War, he worked as a newspaper columnist. He settled in San Francisco and read his poetry in clubs and performed as a folk singer. He achieved regional recognition with his poetry readings in the 1950s and national fame in the late 1960s. Although critics panned him, he wrote more than two dozen books of poetry and recorded nearly five dozen albums and seven dozen other recordings, including soundtracks and performances with other groups. McKuen was nominated for two Academy Awards and a Pulitzer Prize for his musical compositions.

Diglia said other additional costs such as new charter schools, the Center for Autism and Dyslexia, ESC costs, health care, staffing for the Third-grade Guarantee and additional staff for the new state-mandated evaluation process combined with additional cuts in state funding have real consequences on the quality of education schools can offer children.

We as a board have to convince not just the parents but the whole community to understand what the levy is for, he said. This levy is to maintain the current financial situation and we are not able to use any of the levies for extras. The deadline to apply for putting the levy on the ballot is Aug. 6 for November. The board decided to concentrate all of its efforts on educating the residents as to why the levy is needed. They are in the planning stages of how best to inform the public. The next school board meeting will be held at 7 p.m. on June 17.

Among those in attendance and speaking will be Apollo Superintendent Judy Wells, Ohio Department of Education Senior Executive Director and 1978 Apollo graduate Steve Gratz, as well as Paul Crow, president and CEO of Tuttle Construction and a 1979 Apollo graduate. Once the much-anticipated renovations and additions are complete, the new state-of-the-art facility will be approximately 224,000 square feet compared to the current facility which is 117,000 square feet. Over the next two years construction crews will be busy adding academic and career technology space including significant infrastructure improvements, a high school multipurpose room and auto and carpentry space, along with a 24/7 welding lab and student resource center for adult education students to better meet the demands of area business and industry. The construction project will take place in phases, so that all high school and adult programs will be available throughout the renovation process. The project is slated for completion in the fall of 2016.

A resident from the village has requested
the village remove a tree in front of their residence due to the fact it is hazardous and needs to be removed. The resident does not feel it should be removed at their own personal cost. According to the zoning, the village is responsible for the removal. Paxton also brought up concerns about
zoning ordinances and one particular item
was the limiting of political signage within the village. There seems to be too many signs and there is a limit that needs to be enforced, he said. The village will make a decision to hold a public meeting on the zoning ordinance. The next scheduled meeting will begin at 7:30 p.m. on June 10.

Trivia
Answers to Tuesdays questions:
Arizona, New Mexico, Massachusetts and Nevada never had humorous, rhyming Burma Shave ads posted along their roads. In Arizona, New Mexico and Nevada, the traffic was considered too light and in Massachusetts, the roads were considered too winding and the roadside foliage too thick. The first railroad workers union in the United States was the Brotherhood of Footboard, founded in 1863. A footboard is the catwalk or platform for the engineer and firemen on the front end of a locomotive. Union members quickly realized that few people knew this and changed the name to the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers. Its now known as the Brotherhood of Engineers and Trainmen. For safety reasons, footboards have been banned on locomotives in the U.S. since the late 1970s. Todays questions: What religious sect was founded by Jakob Amman? What board game was developed during World War II as a diversion for people waiting out air raids and air drills in bomb shelters? Answers in Thursdays Herald.

The Hottest Concept in
HAIR REMOVAL Introducing
Raise
(Continued from page 7)
4. Friendly boards of directors.
Some board members defer to a CEOs judgment on what his or her own compensation should be. Theres a good reason: Many boards are composed of current and former CEOs at other companies. And in some cases, board members are essentially hand-picked or at least vetted by the CEO. Not surprisingly, the boards compensation committees offer generous bonuses. 5. Stricter scrutiny. Even companies with vigilant boards and an emphasis on objectively assessing CEO performance might shower their chief executives with money. When a CEO faces more scrutiny and a greater chance of dismissal, the companies often raise pay to compensate for the risk of job loss, according to a 2005 article by Benjamin Hermalin, a professor at the University of California, Berkeley. Why many of us arent getting a raise 1. Blame the robots. Millions of factory workers have lost their spots on assembly lines to machines. Offices need fewer secretaries and bookkeepers in the digital era. Robots and computers are displacing jobs that involve routine tasks, according to research by David Autor, an economist at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. As these middleincome positions vanish, workers are struggling to find new occupations that pay as much. Some must settle for low-paying retail and food service jobs. 2. High unemployment. The aftermath of the Great Recession left a glut of available workers. Businesses face less pressure to give meaningful raises when a ready supply of job seekers is available. Theyre less fearful that their best employees will defect to another employer. The current 6.3 percent unemployment rate, down from 10 percent in October 2009, isnt so low that employers will spend more to hire and keep workers. Wages grew in the late 1990s when unemployment dipped to 4 percent, a level that made high-quality workers scarce and compelled businesses to raise pay. 2. Globalization. Companies can cap wages by offshoring jobs to poorer countries, where workers on average earn less than the poorest Americans. Consider China. A typical Chinese factory employee made $1.74 an hour in 2009, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics roughly a tenth of what their U.S. counterpart made. Some analysts say this decades-long trend may have peaked. But many economists say the need for the United States to compete with a vast supply of cheap labor worldwide continues to exert a depressive effect on U.S. workers pay. 4. Weaker unions. Organized labor no longer commands the heft it once did. More than 20 percent of U.S. workers were unionized in 1983, compared with 11.3 percent last year, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. That has drastically reduced the unions sphere of influence. Result: Fewer workers can collectively negotiate for raises. 5. Low inflation. For the past five years, the governments standard inflation gauge, the consumer price index, has averaged an ultralow 1.6 percent. When inflation is high, employees tend to factor it into requested pay raises. But when inflation is as low as it has been, it almost disappears as a factor in pay negotiations. Workers typically settle for less than if inflation were higher.
