Schools address bullying problem
BY MIKE FORD
mford@delphosherald.com
Fort Jennings Police Chief Ethyl
Vaughn spoke out against a bullying
issue Tuesday night. She told village
council some students have come
forward concerning bullying taking
place after school and off school
property. She said it involves a small
number of junior high students and
tion from becoming widespread.
“We have a bullying problem with
texting and verbal taunting. Right now,
that’s it so far. It’s off school premises
and after school, so it’s outside school
jurisdiction but I talked to Todd Hoehn
(dean of students) and let him know
what’s going on,” she said.
Hoehn points to the school’s code-
of-conduct policy:
“We address bullying in our stu-
dent handbook and will have an
assembly next week. Then the county
has one Dec. 13 and another Jan. 19,”
he said. “Our board and staff are com-
mitted to providing a safe, positive
and productive educational environ-
ment. Our bullying policy includes
aggressive behavior toward students
and that’s not just from student to
student. It could also be from third
parties and include verbal and psy-
chological abuse, cyber-bullying that
takes place throughout the day, any
threats or comments and activity on
school property, during the school
day or any school-approved
or school-related event.
If it happens outside
our jurisdiction, we
turn it over to law
enforcement.”
Perhaps as
old as civiliza-
tion, bullying
is commonly
regarded as part
of adolescence.
However, as
news media
brings to light
its connection to
homophobia and
suicide, the problem
is becoming more epi-
demic. Jefferson High School
Principal John Edinger says technol-
ogy has made bullying worse.
“It’s more frequent because of
cell phones and Facebook. It’s easy
to hide behind the technology but
bullying itself is the same in terms
of picking on kids and finding weak
links,” he said.
Both Delphos school districts are
working together to police the issue
with a new program being created.
“It will be student-led and
we’re looking to involve members
of Students Against Destructive
Decisions, National Honor Society
and the Fellowship of
Christian Athletes.
Those groups make
up almost a third of
our student body
and those kids
understand it’s
part of their
lifestyle to
make adults
aware of bul-
lying when it
occurs. I would
say we don’t
have a major
issue with it but
we don’t want to,
either,” Edinger
added.
The program is being
developed by Bullying Prevention
Coordinator Aaron Elwer at St. John’s
High School. He said it involves vari-
ous online tools and a team of person-
nel at each building.
“It’s an online, performance-based
program that’s specific to each grade
level and there are various strategies,
such as group problems, DVDs and
other technological tools to stress to
students that bullying is a big issue so
we can prevent it,” he said.
“We’re in the very early stages of
the program but our hope, goal and
vision is to get parents involved and
for the whole community to recog-
nize that bullying is a problem across
society that will eventually hit home
with each family.”
He said a comprehensive approach to
sensitivity training that starts in kinder-
garten is key to addressing the issue.
“With kindergartners, we talk
about what bullying is to try to pre-
vent it later. We have found that it’s
more of an issue at the junior high
level than with younger students and
even high school students. Kids are in
school from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. and a lot
of it happens after school online and
with cell phones. That’s a difficult
issue because it’s off campus but the
kids bring the problem to school and
then it’s for us to deal with,” he said.
Echoing Edinger’s comment,
Elwer said it is imperative that stu-
dents who are not directly involved
see bullying as their business.
“We want kids who see it go on to
not be a silent witness. We’re find-
ing out bullying has contributed to
suicide; it goes on almost everywhere
and at some point, all of us have been
a witness to some type of bullying.
We need to recognize it, bring it to
light and take care of the issue,” he
concluded.

For Mark Reuss, GM’s
North American president,
the first day of trading repre-
sents a rare second chance for
the company, courtesy of a
$50 billion bailout from U.S.
taxpayers.
It’s a chance that GM is
ready to capitalize on as a
new company with a focus
on building cars and trucks
that people want to buy,
Reuss said in an interview
today from the floor of the
exchange.
“We’ve all taken that as
the No. 1 priority, to make
everybody proud of us,” he
said. “There’s a lot of work to
do, but today is the beginning
of the new company.”
The stock offering is the
latest in a series of head-
spinning developments over
the past two years for an
American corporate icon.
In September 2008, to
mark its 100th birthday, the
automaker celebrated in the
grand three-story atrium on
the ground floor of its Detroit
headquarters.
Two months later, then-
CEO Rick Wagoner found
himself in front of members
of Congress, begging for
money to keep GM alive.
Four months after that, he
was ousted by President
Barack Obama.
By June 2009, GM had
filed for bankruptcy. It

By JULIE CARR SMYTH
The Associated Press
COLUMBUS — Ohio’s
next governor is looking for
residents to fill jobs in his
administration.
Republican Gov.-elect
John Kasich expanded a cam-
paign website Wednesday to
allow Ohioans to apply for
the positions. The site will
also accept tips on govern-
ment waste, regulation and
corruption.
“Beginning today, we are
looking for people who would
like to make a real difference
to come work for the state of
Ohio,” he said in a statement.
“Ohio is on the cusp of again
being a place where families
can succeed and businesses
can prosper, and we welcome
those who want to become
part of this historic effort.”
In a video posted to the
site, Kasich said he welcomes
anyone who would like to
help in his efforts to “make
Ohio the best state in the
nation.”
He says applicants to
the site would be in line for
nonunion government jobs.
Those seeking civil service
work should continue to apply
through the state’s existing
hiring website.
State unemployment
hovering around 10 per-
cent was a key theme in
Kasich’s successful cam-
paign against Democratic
Gov. Ted Strickland. He
and Republicans fighting on
his behalf for control of a
key swing state hammered
Strickland incessantly in ads
containing reminders of the
nearly 400,000 jobs lost in the
state since 2007.
Kasich moved quickly to
get to work — announcing
his first appointments to the
news media the day after his
election. He named his second
Cabinet director Tuesday.
He has written to
Strickland to ask him to cease
work on a $400 million high-
speed rail that Kasich intends
to scrap once in office, and
asked the White House to
provide him flexibility to
spend the money on other
things. Neither Strickland
nor President Barack Obama,
another Democrat, honored
his request.
In his push for what he
says will have to be trans-
formative change of state
government in tough budget
times, Kasich’s backers in
the GOP-led state Senate
are also moving to reject a
host of Strickland’s board
and commission appointees
during their lame duck ses-
sion.
Senate leaders have said
they won’t reject all the
Democrat’s picks — which
run into the hundreds — but
will throw out some in policy
areas that could be strate-
gic for Kasich. Those areas
include casino regulation and
oversight of the insurance
fund for injured workers.
During the campaign,
Kasich’s same site — Fix
Ohio Now — received more
than 1,500 submissions,
all reviewed by his staff. It
maintains its original func-
tions for seeking good gov-
ernment ideas and now adds
the resume function.
The site is paid for with
campaign funds. Kasich’s
inauguration is scheduled for
Jan. 10.

LOCAL ROUNDUP
Longsdorf and Foos lead
13 Jackets on All-HCAC
squad
GREENWOOD, Ind. —
The Heartland Collegiate
Athletic Conference released
its 2010 Football All-HCAC
Team on Wednesday, with
13 Defiance College players
garnering an all-conference
nod.
Kyle Longsdorf was voted
the HCAC Defensive Most
Valuable Player and Tom
Foos claimed the HCAC
Special Teams MVP to lead
the way.
The HCAC awards capped
a successful 2010 campaign
as the Purple and Gold posted
a 6-4 overall mark and ended
second in the conference with
a 6-2 clip. The Jackets closed
the year with wins in five of
their last six games and the
second place showing was
the best for the program since
2005.
The team success was
fueled by an improved offense
that averaged 25.2 points per
game for DC’s best scor-
ing average since 2001. The
Jackets were also anchored by
a traditionally strong defen-
sive unit that ranked second in
the league in scoring defense
(15.2), total defense (284.5),
rushing defense (119.1), pass
efficiency defense (91.0) and
sacks (22) during eight league
contests.
Defiance saw five stu-
dent-athletes repeat as All-
HCAC performers, while
eight earned the honor for
the first time in their career.
The Jackets placed Longsdorf
and Foos on the All-HCAC
First-Team, along with Andy
Cessna, Brian Baumgart, Ryan
Black, Joemese Scott, Austin
Hedderly, Hunter Robertson
and Anthony Sierra. DC
rounded out its accolades by
placing Rick Powell, Drew
Kuesel, Pat McDonald and
Robbie Lakes on the All-
HCAC Second-Team.
Longsdorf led all NCAA
Division III defensive backs
with 139 tackles during the
regular season, while also
topping all HCAC defenders
and ranking fourth among all
D-III players in that statistic.
The senior free safety racked
up at least 12 hits in 8-of-10
games and led the Jackets in
tackles in all but two games,
along with ranking fifth in the
league with four interceptions,
ninth with five sacks and 14th
with eight passes defended.
The lofty stat totals resulted
in a third straight All-HCAC
nod for Longsdorf and led the
way to being named as the
HCAC’s Defensive Player of
the Week four different times
during the 2010 campaign and
becoming a 2-time member of
the D3football.com National
Team of the Week.
Foos also bagged an All-
HCAC award for the third
year in a row, earning First-
Team All-HCAC honors as
a kicker and Second-Team
All-HCAC status as a punt-
er during his senior season.
The special teams ace tied a
Defiance College single-sea-
son record with eight made
field goals in 2010, while
ranking third in the confer-
ence among all kickers with
47 points scored. Foos also
excelled as the DC punter,
where he ranked third in the
league and 33rd in the nation
with 38.2 yards per boot, set
a DC single-game record with
a 70-yard punt, landed 19
of his 56 attempts inside the
20-yard line and became the
program’s all-time leader in
career punts with 237. Foos
was a 3-time HCAC Special
Teams Player of the Week
in 2010 and a 2-time Fred
Mitchell Award Recipient.
Cessna played in all 10
games for Defiance in 2010
and set new career highs with
14 receptions for 126 total
yards and a pair of receiv-
ing touchdowns. The First-
Team All-HCAC selection is
the first all-league award for
the junior tight end. Along
with serving as one of DC’s
top receiving threats, Cessna
helped power a rushing attack
that churned out the second-
and third-leading rushers in
the HCAC.
Baumgart and Black were
each named First-Team
All-HCAC for their first
all-conference nods of their
careers. Baumgart anchored
the offensive line at the left
Thursday, November 18, 2010
tackle slot as the lone start-
ing senior on offense, while
Black converted from tight
end to handle the center posi-
tion during his junior season.
The duo powered an offen-
sive line that helped Defiance
lead the HCAC with 218.8
rushing yards per outing and
yielded an HCAC low of six
sacks.
The Jackets also placed
a pair of athletes from the
defensive line as First-Team
All-HCAC standouts, as
junior end Joemese Scott
scored his first all-conference
accolade and senior tackle
Austin Hedderly earned his
second-straight First-Team
All-HCAC honor and the
third all-conference award of
his career. Scott and Hedderly
ranked first and second in the
conference with 10 and eight
sacks respectively, helped the
Jackets post an HCAC-best
30 tackles in 10 games and
each were selected once to
the D3football.com National
Team of the Week. Scott set
career highs with 47 stops,
12 hits for lost yardage and
ranked 34th in the nation with
the 10 sacks. Hedderly also
started all 10 games and piled
up 44 tackles, while setting
career highs with 10.5 hits for
negative yardage and eight
sacks.
Robertson garnered First-
Team All-HCAC status for
his first all-conference notice,
after ranking second among
all Yellow Jackets with 75
tackles. The sophomore mid-
dle linebacker’s total ranked
him 12th in the HCAC with
7.5 stops per contest and
were good for a new career
best. Robertson also added
4.5 tackles for a loss, one
interception, two passes bro-
ken up and a pair of fumble
recoveries.
Sierra was named First-
Team All-HCAC for the sec-
ond time in as many seasons,
as the sophomore defensive
back split time between the
cornerback and strong safe-
ty positions. Sierra set new
career highs with 38 tackles
and 4.5 hits, ranked 14th in
the HCAC with eight pass-
es defended and added two
interceptions during his 10
starts. Sierra also excelled in
the return game, leading the
league and ranking 36th in
the nation with 11.0 yards per
punt return.
Powell ranked fifth in
the nation among all NCAA
Division III quarterbacks
with 99.8 rushing yards per
game en route to being voted
as a Second-Team All-HCAC
signal-caller for the second
year in a row. The junior was
a 2-time HCAC Offensive
Player of the Week and ended
with 1,257 yards and eight
touchdowns through the air,
to go with 998 yards and 10
scores on the ground. Powell
ended second in the HCAC in
rushing yards per game and
third with 225.5 total yards of
offense per contest.
Kuesel fueled the Yellow
Jackets with 87.8 rushing
yards per game, before miss-
ing the final two contests
with an injury. The junior’s
Second-Team All-HCAC nod
was his first such honor, after
setting new career highs with
702 yards and six scores on
the ground. Kuesel ranked
third in the league and 76th
in the nation in rushing yards
per game and earned one
HCAC Offensive Player of
the Week award.
A pair of linebackers also
made the All-HCAC squad
for the first time, as freshman
Pat McDonald and senior
Robbie Lakes were named
Second-Team All-HCAC
from their outside linebacker
positions. McDonald ranked
third on the Jackets with 50
tackles and nine tackles for
lost yardage. The rookie play-
maker also ranked 15th in the
HCAC with four sacks and
earned one D3football.com
National Team-of-the-Week
honor. Lakes turned in his
finest season with Defiance,
ranking fourth on the team
with 47 tackles and adding
5.5 hits for lost yardage and a
trio of sacks.
Nine of DC’s 13 All-
HCAC performers are set to
return for the 2011 season, as
the Jackets look to contend
for the HCAC Championship
behind the strength of a pro-
jected 18 returning starters.

Little opposition emerges to expanded playoffs
By RONALD BLUM
The Associated Press
ORLANDO, Fla. — Little
opposition has emerged to
Major League Baseball expand-
ing its playoffs for 2012 as the
sport’s top officials discussed
the concept during two days of
meetings.
While commissioner Bud
Selig has yet to formally pro-
pose adding two more wild-
card teams, he said during the
World Series that he was giving
the plan serious consideration.
General managers and own-
ers were waiting to hear wheth-
er Selig would directly address
them on the matter today, when
three days of meetings con-
clude.
“I don’t see any minuses,”
Florida Marlins’ owner Jeffrey
Loria said Wednesday. “More
excitement at the end of the
season. It prolongs the season
a little bit but that’s not a nega-
tive for me.”
While Selig hasn’t ruled
out proposing the change for
2011, nearly all baseball offi-
cials say the extra round of
playoffs would likely start in
2012. If Selig decides to go
ahead, owners would have to
endorse the plan, baseball’s
television partners would have
to receive it positively and the
players’ association would have
to agree. Union head Michael
Weiner says players are open
to the idea.
“I think the more teams
you have in it, the month of
September will obviously
be more meaningful,” said
Toronto Blue Jays president
Paul Beeston, Selig’s onetime
No. 2. “The minuses — two of
them obviously are the integrity
of the schedule and the history
of the game, where you know
the best teams always moved
forward. But we really crossed
that bridge, didn’t we, when we
went from two teams to four
teams and then four teams to
eight teams? So that bridge has
been crossed. I’ve changed. I
could add more teams.”
In the unusual format of this
week’s meetings, general man-
agers and owners gathered at the
same hotel, while team business
officials met 3 1/4 miles away
at the hotel in Lake Buena Vista
where the winter meetings will
be held from Dec. 6-9. Selig

addressed GMs Wednesday as
that group finished; owners will
meet today. The formal ses-
sions were dominated by prepa-
ration for collective bargaining
next year.
Agents for free-agent play-
ers also were on hand strik-
ing deals. The Florida Marlins
finalized an $18 million,
3-year contract with catcher
John Buck; the Detroit Tigers
reached a preliminary agree-
ment on a $16.5 million, 3-year
contract with Joaquin Benoit, a
deal that could raise prices for
setup relievers.
In the second trade of the
meetings, speedy outfielder
Rajai Davis was acquired by
the Toronto Blue Jays from the
Oakland Athletics for minor-
league right-handers Trystan
Magnuson and Daniel Farquhar.
Oakland last week acquired
outfielder David DeJesus from
Kansas City, making Davis
superfluous.
Also, the New York Mets
began interviewing their four
finalists for manager. Bob
Melvin and Chip Hale were
due in Wednesday, followed
by Wally Backman and Terry
Collins today.
As for the expanded play-
offs, there appears to be more
discussion of how to do it rather
than whether to do it.
Many thought a winner-take-
all one-game meeting of wild
cards in each league wouldn’t
be fair.
Best-of-3 could be a middle
ground for the wild-card round.
Selig and team officials worry
about the World Series ending
even later than it current does
— it went into November for
the second straight year, even
though the San Francisco Giants
beat Texas in five games.
Black, Gardenhire picked
as managers of the year: Bud
Black hung on to win this race.
Ron Gardenhire became a first-
time Manager of the Year, too,
after so many near misses.
A month after his San Diego
Padres were knocked out of
the playoff chase on the final
day, Black nudged Cincinnati’s
Dusty Baker by one point for
the NL award Wednesday.
Gardenhire was the clear
choice in the American League,
earning the honor after five
times as the runner-up. He

Central title in nine seasons.
Black was selected after
guiding San Diego to a 15-game
turnaround despite the second-
lowest payroll in the majors.
The Padres finished 90-72 and
led the NL West until a late
10-game slump and then a loss
to San Francisco on the last day
eliminated them.
Black drew 16 first-place
votes in balloting by the
Baseball Writers’ Association
of America and got 104 points.
Baker had 13 first-place votes
and 103 points.
Bruce Bochy of the World
Series champion San Francisco
Giants, Atlanta’s retiring Bobby
Cox and Philadelphia’s Charlie
Manuel got the other first-place
votes.
Baker, a 3-time Manager of
the Year, led the NL Central
champion Reds to their first
playoff spot since 1995. He was
listed on 27 of the 32 ballots
while Black was picked on 26.
Baker was in the mountains
of California when he heard the
vote totals. The announcement
came on the one-year anniver-
sary of his father’s death.
This marked the third time
that the NL Manager of the
Year was decided by a single
point. There was a tie for the
AL honor in 1996 between Joe
Torre and Johnny Oates.
Two BBWAA voters from
every league city send in three
top choices when the regular
season ends. Votes were count-
ed on a 5-3-1 basis.
Gardenhire drew 16 first-
place votes and 108 points and
was the only AL manager listed
on all 28 ballots.
Ron Washington, who
started the year with a cocaine
admission and ended it with
Texas’ first trip to the World
Series, was next in the AL
with 10 first-place votes and
81 points. Tampa Bay’s Joe
Maddon and Toronto’s retir-
ing Cito Gaston drew the other
first-place votes.
The next BBWAA award
will be the AL Cy Young, to be
announced today.
Steinbrenner’s family hop-
ing for Hall election: George
Steinbrenner’s family is root-
ing hard for the late New York
Yankees’ owner to get elected
to the Hall of Fame.
Steinbrenner, former man-

Steinbrenner owned the
Yankees from 1973 until his
death in July. The team won
seven World Series champion-
ships, 11 AL pennants and 16
AL East titles during his reign.
Martin had five stints
as Yankees manager under
Steinbrenner, getting fired four
times and resigning once.
Former players Vida Blue,
Dave Concepcion, Steve
Garvey, Ron Guidry, Tommy
John, Al Oliver, Ted Simmons
and Rusty Staub also are on the
ballot, with longtime executive
Pat Gillick. The Hall announced
the ballot last week.
To be elected, a candidate
must appear on at least 75 per-
cent of the 16 ballots. Anyone
chosen will be inducted into
the Hall during ceremonies in
Cooperstown on July 24, along
with any players elected in
January by the Baseball Writers’
Association of America.

Kirk Gibson used for his histor-
ic home run in the 1988 World

Auctions’ October/November
auction and also took home
the four other Gibson artifacts
on sale.
Chad and Doug Dreier of the
Dreier Group paid $1.19 mil-

included Gibson’s home run
bat, his game-worn Los Angeles
Dodgers jersey ($303,277.20),

NL Most Valuable Player Award
($110,293.20) and World Series

for $1.265 million.

The move was aimed at under-

prohibit the confinement of such
animals in a way that prevents
them from lying down, standing,
turning around, or fully extending
their limbs or wings.
“Ohio voters overwhelmingly
supported the Ohio Livestock Care
Standards Board, and we’re behind
that 100 percent, and we’re going
to focus on that,’’ Mr. Zehringer
said.
“There are a lot of out-of-state

Dr. Harris used during his
lecture. Dr. Harris will be

Gary Hoff, EA, is the
Extension Specialist for
Taxation at the University of
Illinois Tax School. He is
the author of numerous tax
education materials and is the
editor of the annual Federal
Tax Workbook which is used
each fall at the University of
Illinois Tax School. Gary is
a member of the IRS’s Pub.

Committee.
Hoff’s presentation will
focus on the “good, bad and
ugly of 2010 tax legislation.”
A small sampling of the tax
issues addressed during the
session includes estate taxes,
the impact of health care
legislation, retirement ben-
efits, preparing for an IRS
audit, 1031 exchanges, con-
cerns surrounding delaying
farm income and prepaying
expenses. Opportunities to
to write some of what the animals-
rights group wanted into the new
board’s standards while giving
farmers more time to comply.
While applauding the fact that
the deal stopped the Washington
organization’s march toward the
ballot, Kasich stopped just short
Tuesday of saying he will fol-
low through with what Strickland
negotiated.
“We really don’t know all the
details of this,’’ he said. “I think by
and large the agricultural commu-
nity saw this as necessary to avoid
a bitter fight that would have cost
millions of dollars.
“Let me make it clear [that]
when outsiders want to come into
Ohio and try to tell their farmers
how to take care of their land or
their animals, I will be out early
and often to say that Ohio farmers
are people that want to take care of
the environment, take care of their
property, and take care of their ani-
mals, and we don’t want a bunch of
people from the outside to come in
and tell us what to do,” he said.

More families abstaining from marriage

By HOPE YEN
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Is marriage becoming
obsolete?
As families gather for Thanksgiving this
year, nearly one in three American children is
living with a parent who is divorced, separated
or never-married. More people are accepting the
view that wedding bells aren’t needed to have
a family.
A study by the Pew Research Center high-
lights rapidly changing notions of the American
family. And the Census Bureau, too, is planning
to incorporate broader definitions of family
when measuring poverty, a shift caused partly
by recent jumps in unmarried couples living
together.
About 29 percent of children under 18 now
live with a parent or parents who are unwed or
no longer married, a fivefold increase from 1960,
according to the Pew report being released today.
Broken down further, about 15 percent have
parents who are divorced or separated and 14
percent who were never married. Within those
two groups, a sizable chunk — 6 percent — have
parents who are live-in couples who opted to
raise kids together without getting married.
Indeed, about 39 percent of Americans said
marriage was becoming obsolete. And that
sentiment follows U.S. census data released in
September that showed marriages hit an all-time
low of 52 percent for adults 18 and over.
In 1978, just 28 percent believed marriage
was becoming obsolete.
When asked what constitutes a family, the
vast majority of Americans agree that a mar-
ried couple, with or without children, fits that
description. But four of five surveyed pointed
also to an unmarried, opposite-sex couple with
children or a single parent. Three of 5 people
said a same-sex couple with children was a
family.
“Marriage is still very important in this
country, but it doesn’t dominate family life like
it used to,” said Andrew Cherlin, a professor of
sociology and public policy at Johns Hopkins
University. “Now there are several ways to
have a successful family life, and more people
accept them.”
The broadening views of family are expected
to have an impact at Thanksgiving. About
nine in 10 Americans say they will share a
Thanksgiving meal next week with family, sit-
ting at a table with 12 people on average. About
one-fourth of respondents said there will be 20
or more family members.
“More Americans are living in these new
families, so it seems safe to assume that there
will be more of them around the Thanksgiving
dinner table,” said Paul Taylor, executive vice
president of the Pew Research Center.
The changing views of family are being
driven largely by young adults 18-29, who are
more likely than older generations to have an
unmarried or divorced parent or have friends
who do. Young adults also tend to have more
liberal attitudes when it comes to spousal roles
and living together before marriage, the survey
found.
But economic factors, too, are playing a
role. The Census Bureau recently reported that
opposite-sex unmarried couples living together
jumped 13 percent this year to 7.5 million. It
was a sharp one-year increase that analysts
largely attributed to people unwilling to make
long-term marriage commitments in the face of
persistent unemployment.
Beginning next year, the Census Bureau will
publish new, supplemental poverty figures that
move away from the traditional concept of fam-
ily as a husband and wife with two children. It
will broaden the definition to include unmarried
couples, such as same-sex partners, as well as
foster children who are not related by blood or
adoption.
Officials say such a move will reduce the
number of families and children who are con-
sidered poor based on the new supplemental
measure, which will be used as a guide for
federal and state agencies to set anti-poverty
policies. That’s because two unmarried partners
who live together with children and work are
currently not counted by census as a single
“family” with higher pooled incomes, but are
officially defined as two separate units — one
being a single parent and child, the other a
single person — who aren’t sharing household
resources.
“People are rethinking what family means,”
Cherlin said. “Given the growth, I think we
need to accept cohabitation relationships as a
basis for some of the fringe benefits offered to
families, such as health insurance.”

Crist wants Morrison pardoned
By BRENDAN FARRINGTON
The Associated Press
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — The time to hesitate is through, no
time to wallow in the mire: Florida’s outgoing governor wants to
posthumously pardon rock ’n’ roll wild man Jim Morrison, the
lead singer of The Doors who was famously convicted of expos-
ing himself at an anarchic 1969 concert in Miami.
Gov. Charlie Crist, a 54-year-old baby boomer and Morrison
fan whose favorite Doors song is “Light My Fire,” said the evi-
dence that Morrison unzipped his pants was flimsy and prosecu-
tors were trying to make an example of the singer, whose on-stage
excesses and appetite for sex and drugs were legendary.
Exactly what happened that night at the Dinner Key Auditorium
is one of rock ’n’ roll history’s enduring mysteries. Morrison
clearly teased the crowd and went into an obscenity-laced rant.
“He was baiting the audience, telling them., ’I’m going to do
it, I’m going to show it to you. That’s what you’ve come for isn’t
it?”’ Doors keyboardist Ray Manzarek told The Associated Press.
“The girls were screaming ’Yes! Yes!’ Guys were saying, ’No!
Don’t do it!”’
Manzarek said Morrison put a shirt in front of his crotch and
wiggled his hand behind it. He briefly pulled the shirt away and
said, “I just showed you. Did you see it?”

Man accused of blasting TV with
shotgun, has standoff with SWAT
By TODD RICHMOND
The Associated Press
MADISON, Wis. — A rural Wisconsin man apparently
enraged by Bristol Palin’s “Dancing with the Stars” routine blasted
his television with a shotgun, leading to an all-night standoff with a
SWAT team, investigators said.
Steven Cowan, 67, was arrested Tuesday morning after officers
coaxed him out of his house in Vermont, a rural community near
Madison. Cowan, who is accused of threatening his wife with the
gun after destroying the television, appeared in a Madison court-
room Wednesday on a charge of second-degree reckless endanger-
ment. His bail was set at $1,500.
Cowan’s attorney at the hearing, Jonas Bednarek, declined to
comment.
Cowan’s wife, Janice Cowan, told investigators that her husband
suffers from bipolar disorder and had threatened her life in the past.
According to court documents, Janice Cowan said her husband
came home Monday from the bar and had a beer with dinner before
they settled down to watch “Dancing with the Stars.”
When Palin, the 20-year-old daughter of tea party favorite Sarah
Palin, began her routine, Cowan jumped up and began swearing,
saying something like “The (expletive) politics.” His wife said he
was upset that a political figure’s daughter was dancing on TV even
though he felt she didn’t have talent.
® Janice Cowan told investigators her husband left the living room
and reappeared 20 minutes later with his shotgun, “raging” with his
face bright red, and blasted the TV. She said he then pointed the
gun at her and told her to go fetch his pistols, and threatened to kill
himself if she brought anyone back. According to the criminal com-
plaint, Steven Cowan’s daughter recently took away his handguns
for safekeeping. It did not elaborate.
Feds: Russian arms suspect
not beyond law’s reach
By LARRY NEUMEISTER
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — A former Soviet military officer dubbed
the “Merchant of Death” for allegedly selling an arsenal of
weapons that would be “the envy of some small countries” was
in the United States on Wednesday to face justice, a prosecutor
announced, refusing to address the possibility that the extradi-
tion had chilled U.S.-Russian relations.
U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara repeatedly responded to ques-
tions at a news conference about the relations between the
countries by saying Viktor Bout was brought to the United
States after prosecutors successfully sought an indictment
and an extradition based on evidence collected during a long-
running Drug Enforcement Administration probe.
“The so-called Merchant of Death is now a federal inmate,”
Bharara said after Bout was flown from Thailand to a suburban
New York airport on Tuesday to face charges that he offered
to sell millions of dollars of weapons to a terrorist group that
wanted to kill Americans. “No one should ever think he can
plot to kill Americans with impunity.”
He praised the DEA for “courageous and groundbreak-
ing work,” along with the agency’s partners in Curacao,
Copenhagen and Bucharest.
The Russian Foreign Ministry had said Thailand’s decision
to extradite him was “unlawful,” purely political and resulted
from U.S. pressure. Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said in
remarks broadcast on Russian television Tuesday that the Thai
government’s decision was “an example of glaring injustice.”
Messages seeking comment left Wednesday with the
Russian Mission to the United Nations and the Russian
Embassy in Washington were not immediately returned.

“He scared the bejebees out of me,” she told detectives.
Janice Cowan fled the home and went to an attorney’s office,
where she phoned police.
She told officers that about 15 years ago her husband had threat-
ened her with a machete when he couldn’t find some ammunition
and has threatened to shoot one of their cows.
Or Less! She added he was under stress because of financial reasons,
saying a doctor helping him with his mental health problems had
suggested he temporarily turn over control of properties he rents out
to the family’s attorney. Calls on Wednesday to a number listed as
the Cowans’ could not be connected.
Answers to Wednesday’s questions:
Harry S. Truman’s Secret Service code name was
“General.” He was the first president assigned a code
name by the Secret Service. His successor in the White
House, Dwight D. Eisenhower, the only general elected
president in the 20th century, was known by the code
name “Providence.”
George Washington owned the largest commercial
whiskey distillery in 18th-century America. At its peak in
1799, the five-still distillery produced 11,000 gallons of
whiskey. Located three miles from Washington’s Mount
Vernon estate, it was reconstructed and opened for guided
tours in 2007.

rising bed” that dumped him on the floor at a preset

For several months, U.S. and Russian officials had fought
for control of Bout, flexing muscles in a manner that seemed
to threaten cooperation on arms control, nuclear weapons curbs
and the war in Afghanistan. Department of State spokesman
P.J. Crowley has acknowledged possible “ripples” in relations
with Moscow but said any concerns could be managed.
“I have no reaction,” Bharara said to the controversy, say-
ing his office “did what we always do” by seeking to prosecute
someone after compiling proof of a crime.
Bout, 43, wearing a brown shirt and black sweatpants,
pleaded not guilty during an 8-minute initial appearance in
U.S. District Court in Manhattan, where his court-appointed
attorney, Sabrina Shroff, said he consented to being held with-
out bail until his next court appearance, scheduled for Jan. 10.
She declined to comment outside court.
Bout, sporting his customary thick mustache, spoke politely
as he answered several routine questions from Judge Shira A.
Scheindlin.
At one point, Bout was asked if a financial affidavit he
signed was accurate. He replied, “Yes, I swear,” through an
interpreter, standing and raising his hand as if swearing to tell
the truth.
The only reference to Russia came when a prosecutor, Anjan
Sahni, told the judge that the U.S. notified the Russian Consulate
earlier Wednesday of Bout’s arrest by U.S. authorities.
Russia Consul General Andrey Yushmanov and Vice
Consul Alexander Otchainov arrived at the Metropolitan
Correctional Center after the hearing to visit Bout. Yushmanov
said they were there to make sure he gets his full legal rights
and to show “consul support of our citizen.” The prison is
located next to the federal courthouse in Manhattan.
