Elida School Board down to bone with cuts


BY CYNTHIA YAHNA
dhi MEDIA Correspondent
news@delphosherald.com

ELIDA The Elida board of


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.

Elida readies for water,


aeration projects
BY CYNTHIA YAHNA
dhi MEDIA Correspondent
news@delphosherald.com
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.

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.

Limas Toast to the City


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.

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.

Pain Doctor Discovers Blood FlowBusting Material Into Miracle Socks

Foot Pain Sufferers!
Breakthrough circulation-boosting

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.

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.

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.

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

DEAR BRUCE: Im contemplating getting a reverse
mortgage. Im 65 and my
wife is 71. What is your opinion on this type of mortgage,
pro and con? -- S.C.
DEAR S.C.: I have no
problem with reverse mortgages as such. In proper
circumstances, they allow
access to monies that would
otherwise be sitting dormant.
If you have determined that
you arent worried about
heirs, a reverse mortgage has
to be recommended.
That having been advised,
the problem is that you are
65. Reverse mortgages are
available for people as young
as 62, that is true, but for
a very small percentage. If

Cuts

(Continued from page 1)

If the school would cut transportation, they


would not get partial reimbursement from the
state for transportation.
It appears Mr. Roth in the transportation
department has saved the school a phenomenal amount of money, Diglia said.
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.
Board member Pat Schymanski, a big
proponent of extra-curricular activities, said

Apollo

www.delphosherald.com

there are life lessons in sports and the other


activities to learn to accept direction, accept
assignments and life lessons in the future.
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.

(Continued from page 1)

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.

(Continued from page 1)

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.

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.
