since 2 a.m. today, plowing
streets and removing giant
piles of snow.
Safety Service Director
Greg Berquist said every
piece of equipment was in
use for snow removal to keep

the majority of streets cleared
by 3:30 p.m. today.
Residents are asked to con-

subject to arrest.”
Allen and Putnam coun-

Advisory — “All roadways
are extremely dangerous due
to heavy, drifted or blowing

Because of a winter storm
pummeling the area, schools
will have to extend the aca-
demic year to make up for
lost time.
During the previous Ohio
General Assembly, the num-
ber of allowed “calamity
days” was reduced from five
to three. Any snow days taken
beyond three will be added to
the May and/or June calendar.
Most of the region’s schools
are now at that point.
“We have now taken five
days,” Delphos City School
Superintendent Jeff Price said.
“The biggest impact this has is
that we like to get in as many
days of instruction as we can
before the achievement tests
in April and before the Ohio

has it that no shadow
means a shorter winter.
The Ohio Legislature
made Buckeye Chuck
the state’s official
groundhog in 1979.
Including today’s fore-
cast, Phil has seen his
shadow 98 times and hasn’t
seen it just 16 times since
1887. There are no records
for the remaining years,
though the group has never
failed to issue a forecast.
The celebration took
place on Gobbler’s Knob, a
tiny hill in Punxsutawney,
a borough of about 6,100
residents some 65 miles
northeast of Pittsburgh.
The celebration is rooted
in a German superstition
that says if a hibernating
animal casts a shadow on

shadow was seen, legend said Depending on the rarity of

“We make the offers based

becomes a factor, so those are
the main things that concern
us about calamity days.”
He added that not much
extra energy costs are absorbed
by the extra days beyond what
minimal electricity is used
when hallways are vacant.
“I don’t see any extra costs;
whether we’re open now or in
June, it doesn’t make much
difference as far as that’s con-
cerned,” he said.
Unlike Delphos, the school
facility in Ottoville is air con-
ditioned. Superintendent Scott
Mangas said a day or two of
air conditioning is the only
cost difference.
Students who would have
otherwise been in class today
had another day off due to the
storm. While the children may
not mind now, they are not
expected to like a lengthened
school year.
“By May, kids are thinking
they’re at the end of the year
and may not take instruction
as seriously as they would
in the middle of the school
year,” Mangas said.
For many years, the state
permitted as many as five
snow days without any hav-
ing to be made up. This was
the case until the 128th Ohio
General Assembly approved a
reduction but legislation was
introduced in January that will
change that. If it becomes law,
House Bill 36 would immedi-
ately give school districts five
calamity days, plus two more
for the rest of the 2010-2011
school year.

Ferocious cyclone bears
down on northern Australia
CAIRNS, Australia (AP)
— Tens of thousands of
Australians stocked up on
food and hunkered in stur-
dy shelters today as a mon-
ster cyclone approached the
northeast coast with furious
winds, rains and surging seas
on a scale unseen there in
generations.
Gusts up to 186 mph (300
kph) were expected when
Cyclone Yasi strikes the
coast late today after whip-
ping across Australia’s Great
Barrier Reef. The storm front
is more than 310 miles (500
kilometers) wide and Yasi is
so strong, it could reach far
inland before it significantly
loses power.
Queensland Premier Anna
Bligh said the last cyclone
of such strength to cross
Queensland was in 1918.
“It’s such a big storm —
it’s a monster, killer storm,”
Bligh said. “This impact is

Bligh said coastal residents
should have left already as
their region would undoubt-
edly flood during an expected
high sea surge. People farther
inland were told to “bunker
down” in their homes and get
ready for gale-force winds.
More than 10,000 people
were already in evacuation
centers, and roads were clos-
ing as strong winds and heavy
rain made travel unsafe.
Landfall was expected just
south of Cairns — a city of
about 164,000 people about
2,250 kilometers (1,400
miles) north of Sydney and
a gateway for visitors to the
Great Barrier Reef — between
the towns of Innisfail and
Cardwell. The rural commu-
nity of Innisfail was devastat-

Earlier today, Bligh had
told coastal residents their
window of opportunity to flee
was closing.
“Do not bother to pack
bags. Just grab each other
and get to a place of safety.
Remember that people are
irreplaceable,” she said.
Yasi was forecast to hit
land at about 10 p.m. today
(7 a.m. EST, 1200 GMT),
the Bureau of Meteorology
said. The timing, just after
high tide, meant high storm
surges of at least 6.5 feet
(two meters) were likely to
flood significant areas along
the coast.
“What it all adds up to
is a very frightening time,”
Bligh said. “We’re looking
at 24 hours of quite terrifying
winds, torrential rain, likely
loss of electricity and mobile
phones. People really need to
be preparing mentally if noth-

— Make certain that your
home’s smoke alarms are in
proper working order.
— Some smoke alarms
may be dependent on your
home’s electrical service and

paralyzed by snow and ice,
leaving hundreds of motorists
stranded all night and shutter-

Chicago received up to 17
inches of snow with more still
possible, and Missouri as much
as 1 1/2 feet. More than a foot
dropped on northern Indiana
and southeast Kansas, while
Oklahoma saw as much as a
foot.
In the Northeast, spots in
northern New York had already
gotten more than a foot of snow.
New York City was expected
to get up to three-quarters of an
inch of ice by midday before
the mix of sleet and freezing
rain warms up to rain.
Forecasters warn that ice
accumulations could knock
down some tree limbs and
power lines. Ice also could
affect transit service, even as
plow drivers struggled to keep
up with the snow on many
roads.
In Chicago, the city shut
down Lake Shore Drive for the
first time in years, and hundreds
of motorists were stranded for
12 hours after multiple car acci-

Public schools were closed for
the first time in 12 years.

Report: Fix Ohio probation system, save $62 million
COLUMBUS (AP) —
Judges would be required to
order probation instead of pris-
on for offenders convicted of
low-level felony crimes such as
theft and drug abuse under a
plan being announced today to
reduce the state’s soaring prison
population and save as much as
$62 million.
Sentences for the most serious
offenders would be lengthened,
and judges would get more lee-
way in sentences for mid-level
felony crimes, according to the
report by the Council of State
Government’s Justice Center.
Judges also could impose
prison terms that would make
inmates eligible for a reduced
sentence if behind bars they
completed programs aimed at
keeping them from committing
new crimes. Prosecutors would
have to sign off on such sen-
tences.
Truth-in-sentencing reforms
in Ohio in the 1990s eliminated
sentence reductions for good
behavior. But critics say those
measures removed a carrot that
could help inmates improve
themselves and avoid return
trips to prison.
The Justice Center’s pro-
posal also would require state-
wide standards for probation
and other non-prison alternative
such as halfway houses as a way
of bringing unity to the Ohio’s
patchwork of 187 local, county
and state probation systems.
In general, the report rec-
ommends holding offenders
accountable in ways that punish
the worst criminals while ensur-
ing low-level offenders are less
likely to commit new crimes. It
also recommends making better
use of halfway house-type pro-
grams and beefing up the super-
vision of offenders on probation.
The state’s most powerful
judge, top Republican lawmak-
ers and the prisons director sup-
port the general concepts behind
the proposal. The center says the
reforms could save $62 million
over four years and help shrink
the prison population by more
than 4,500 inmates.
Sentencing low-level felony
offenders to probation instead
of prison would ensure they par-
ticipate in programs that would
help them, the report said.
“Brief prison stays for these
first time low-level property and
drug offenders, many of whom
have substance use or mental
health disorders, do little to
change the behaviors that con-
tributed to their criminal activ-
ity,” the report said.Exceptions
would be made for offenders
who held public office or posi-
tions of trust, committed crimes
while possessing guns or seri-
ously hurt someone.
A report by the Justice Center
in July found that Ohio’s proba-
tion system is too fragmented
and the state cycles too many
low-risk offenders serving short
sentences through the prison sys-
tem. In 2008, the state spent $189
million on inmates with an aver-
age sentence of just nine months.
Last year’s study found that
Ohio’s numerous probation
agencies overlap, aren’t coordi-
nated and have different training
standards and that there’s no use-
ful information collected state-
wide that could help improve
the probation system. The state
spends more than $130 million
annually on programs trying to
keep people out of prison with
no information on whether the
programs actually work, the
report found.
Ohio Supreme Court Chief
Justice Maureen O’Connor
said Ohio’s current approaches
sometimes make things worse
for relatively low-risk offenders
by exposing them to harsher
probationary terms than they
require, leading to their returns
to prison.

Obama says Egypt must
begin transition now
By MATTHEW LEE
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — cities.
President Barack Obama on
Tuesday challenged Egypt’s
embattled autocratic ruler, a
staunch U.S. ally, to imme-
diately begin the process of
transitioning the country to
new leadership, a signal that
there should be no drawn-out
goodbye.
Earlier, Egyptian
President Hosni Mubarak had
announced he would not seek
another term in office but
also would not yield to grow-
ing demands to step down
now. After a huddle at the
White House, Obama went
on television to respond.
In his brief statement at
the White House, Obama
invoked Egypt’s ancient and
storied past in what appeared
to be an appeal to Mubarak’s
desire to be remembered well
in history as a powerful lead-
er and peacemaker. He said
he had spoken to Mubarak
to press his case for 30 min-
utes shortly after Mubarak
addressed the Egyptian peo-
ple.
“He recognizes that the
status quo is not sustain-
able and that a change must
take place,” Obama said of
Mubarak. “Indeed, all of us
who are privileged to serve in
position of political power do
so at the will of our people.”
“Through thousands of
years, Egypt has known many
moments of transformation;
the voices of the Egyptian
people tell us that this is one
of the moments, this is one of
those times,” Obama said. He
added that the United States
heard those voices demand-
American general predicts Taliban

WASHINGTON — The
Afghanistan war can be won
without Pakistan’s army
moving against militants in
North Waziristan, the No.
2 American general for the
war effort said Tuesday, pub-
licly signaling that the U.S.
is resigned to the idea that
Islamabad won’t take on that
terrorist safe haven.
Lt. Gen. David Rodriguez’
stopped short of calling for
more U.S. strikes in the bor-
der region, which has been
under assault from a well-
known but unacknowledged
U.S. bombing campaign
carried out largely by CIA
drones. But he agreed that
there would have to be “some
plan . ”to decrease the impact
of the safe haven,“ including
greater efforts by the U.S. and
Afghans on the Afghanistan
side of the border.
The U.S. has repeatedly
pressed Pakistan to mount an
offensive in North Waziristan,

Mullen, chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff, has called

GOP targets health care law in Congress and out
By DAVID ESPO and
PHILIP ELLIOTT
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The maneuvering unfolded
Buoyed by a federal court
ruling, Senate Republicans
maneuvered for a vote to
repeal the year-old health care
law on Tuesday while the
party’s potential White House
contenders took turns urging
them on.
Despite the stepped up
attack, Senate Majority Leader
Harry Reid said the legislation
was secure. “It’s not going to
go anywhere,” predicted the
Nevada Democrat.
The Republican-controlled
House voted last month to
repeal the law. A showdown
vote is possible as early as
today in the Senate, where
Democrats are in the majority
and the bill’s opponents far
short of the 60 that would be
needed to clear it.
Despite the certainty of
defeat, Senate Republican
leader Mitch McConnell noted
Republicans had “pledged to
the American people” in last
fall’s campaign they would
attempt to repeal the law. To
ing change as anti-govern-
ment protests filled the streets
of Cairo and other Egyptian
Mubarak delivered his
speech after hearing from a
special envoy, former U.S.
ambassador to Egypt Frank
Wisner, whom Obama dis-
patched to Cairo on Monday.
Wisner’s message: The U.S.
saw his tenure at an end,
didn’t want him to stand for
re-election in September
and wanted him to prepare
an orderly transition to real
democracy.
“It is my belief that an
orderly transition must be
meaningful, it must be peace-
ful and it must begin now,”
Obama said he had told
Mubarak in the phone call.
That suggested Mubarak’s
concession was not enough,
but Obama left the point
dangling. He was careful not
to say that Mubarak should
have left immediately, and
he stressed that it was not up
to the United States to pick
Egypt’s leaders.
“Furthermore, the process
must include a broad spec-
trum of Egyptian voices and
opposition parties,” he said.
“It should lead to elections
that are free and fair. And,
it should result in a govern-
ment that is not only ground-
ed in democratic principles
but is also responsive to the
aspirations of the Egyptian
people.”
An administration official
said Obama delivered the
same message to Mubarak in
their “direct and frank” phone
call. Obama “said it was clear
how much he loves his coun-
try, and how difficult this
is for him. President Obama
where militants gather to
plan attacks that they then
carry out across the border in
Afghanistan.
Last month, Mullen flatly
told reporters that the U.S.
cannot succeed in Afghanistan
unless the safe havens in
Pakistan are shut down.
Osama bin Laden and his
key leaders are believed to be
hiding in that region.
“We need them to do more,
we’re going to encourage
them to do more,” Rodriguez
said of Pakistan. “But I think
it’s still doable without them
decreasing what they’ve
being doing the past year,
which is significant.” He said
if Pakistan goes “into every
place but North Waziristan,
that would be significant and
really helpful to us.”
Pakistan’s leaders have
repeatedly insisted that their
military is stretched thin by its
operations against militants in
other border regions as well
as ongoing flood relief efforts
and a long-standing presence
along the border with India.
Speaking to Pentagon
reporters, Rodriguez said
U.S., Afghan and Pakistan
forces must continue to coor-
fulfill that pledge, McConnell
took virtually the first oppor-
tunity available to him in the
new Congress.
one day after U.S. District
Judge Roger Vinson ruled
the law was unconstitutional,
saying Congress lacked the
power to impose penalties as
a way of enforcing a require-
ment for millions to purchase
health insurance.
Vinson’s was the second
federal court ruling in recent
months that was adverse to
the law, which has also been
upheld in two other decisions.
The final verdict is expected
from the Supreme Court.
For the present, though,
the law is a favorite target of
Republicans running for pres-
ident or serving in Congress.
“An individual health
care mandate is an uncon-
stitutional power grab by
the federal government and
drags our health care system
in the wrong direction,” said
former Minnesota Gov. Tim
Pawlenty, a likely presidential
candidate. He called Vinson’s
ruling “a big victory for states’
rights, the U.S. Constitution
www.delphosherald.com
also explained to him that
an orderly transition can’t be
prolonged — it must begin
now,” said the official, who
spoke on condition of ano-
nymity to describe the private
conversation.
Obama praised the “pas-
sion and dignity” of the pro-
testers who have rallied for
Mubarak’s departure as an
“inspiration” to people around
the world, and he hailed the
Egyptian military for its poise
in handling the situation.
“To the people of Egypt,
particularly the young people
of Egypt, I want to be clear:
We hear your voices,” Obama
said. “I have an unyielding
belief that you will determine
your own destiny and seize
the promise of a better future
for your children and grand-
children.”
In a half-way concession
to hundreds of thousands of
protesters, Mubarak said in
Egypt that he would serve out
the rest of his term working
to ensure a “peaceful trans-
fer of power” and new rules
on presidential elections.
His message that he would
not immediately leave was
rebuffed by many demonstra-
tors in Cairo’s main square.
Obama warned there
would be “difficult days
ahead” in Egypt as the situ-
ation develops and appealed
for calm.
Tuesday’s developments
signaled that after a week of
balancing support for protest-
ers and for America’s close
ally of three decades, the
administration had decided
that long-term backing for
the Egyptian president was
no longer tenable.

He predicted that Taliban
forces this spring will attempt
to reassert themselves by
focusing more on assassinat-
ing Afghan political leaders
in order to undermine support
for the government.
He said he believes that
after a winter lull, the Taliban
will bring on a new strategy in
the spring that will is likely to
include what he called assas-
sination hit teams. Similar
efforts in the past, he said,
focused on Afghans or lower
rank-and-file militants who
are now working with the
Americans.
“There’s a hierarchy of the
most committed to the least

And they have been going

“For those of us who have
been opposed to Obamacare
all along, it’s nice to see
the courts upholding the
Constitution,” said for-
mer Arkansas Gov. Mike
Huckabee.
Sen. John Thune of South
Dakota also praised the rul-
ing: “I will continue to work
with my colleagues to see
that the Senate has a vote on
repealing this harmful bill and
start working on a replace-
ment immediately.”
Mississippi Gov. Haley
Barbour used the ruling to
ding Washington, which is
held in generally low regard.
“As surprised as some
people in Washington may be
by the court’s ruling that the
power of the federal govern-
ment is limited, I am pleased
to learn the Constitution
still means what the framers
intended,” Barbour said.
Former Massachusetts
Gov. Mitt Romney, R-Mass.,
said: “We are a federalist sys-
tem. We don’t need a federal
government imposing one-
size-fits-all plan on the entire
nation.”

First GM, now states? Pros and cons of bankruptcy
NEW YORK (AP) — Big
companies like General Motors
file for bankruptcy. Some cit-
ies do, too. And last year 1.5
million Americans did it.
But U.S. states aren’t
allowed. Now a few policy-
makers and pundits are debat-
ing whether it’s time to give
states a court-sanctioned way
to shed their debts.
The idea galls critics.
“Baloney” is what California
Treasurer Bill Lockyer calls
it, saying his state, which is
already weighing painful
tax hikes and spending cuts,
doesn’t need the option.
It seems clear that some
states can’t afford their long-
term promises to pay for pen-
sions and retiree health care.
Those swelling costs could
force states to raise taxes and
slash services like public trans-
portation.
But is bankruptcy the right
solution?
In bankruptcy court, a
judge could force lenders and
public workers to accept less
than they are owed. Debt could
drop overnight. Existing union
contracts could be replaced
with cheaper ones. In theory,
states could regain their finan-
cial health.
But the risks are high. A
from funds that invest in
municipal bonds — twice as
much as they did at the depths
of the 2008 credit crisis, the
Investment Company Institute
says. Those still buying are
demanding higher interest
payments to compensate for
the risk.
Standard & Poor’s, which
determines how credit-worthy
states are and assigns ratings,
said last week that a bank-
ruptcy law would cause it to
review the way it judges states.
Downgrades would force states
to pay higher interest rates.
If investors started selling
the bonds, that would force
interest rates higher, too, add-
ing to the cost of financing the
bonds.
“The higher the interest
rate a state has to pay, the
more potholes that can’t be
filled,” says Marilyn Cohen of
Envision Capital, a company
that invests in bonds. “There’s
a whole chain reaction.”
Some also question wheth-
er allowing states to go bank-
rupt would be wise economic
policy in the long run. When
a company or family cuts
its debt through bankruptcy,
it risks encouraging others
to do the same, notes Dean
Maki, chief U.S. economist at
BUSINESS
partly because they fear a
bankruptcy option.
States’ combined deficits
for next fiscal year are a pro-
jected $125 billion, says Iris
Lav of the liberal Center on
Budget and Policy Priorities.
And they haven’t put enough
money away to cover pen-
sions due in coming decades.
Estimates for the collective
pension shortfall range from
$500 billion to $3 trillion.
State tax revenues are start-
ing to recover as the economy
improves and as states raise
taxes. Revenue rose 6.9 per-
cent in the October-December
quarter, based on early data
from 41 states, according to
a report from the Nelson A.
Rockefeller Institute released
Tuesday. That would be the
fastest increase in more than
four years.
Still, most states face brutal
budget squeezes. Tax revenue
remains just below pre-reces-
sion levels, the report says.
“There’s increasing recog-
nition that something has to
give,” says Robert Ward, head
of government finance research
at the institute. “Are state taxes
going to go up dramatically?
Not in most places. Are ser-
vices going to be slashed? Not
in most. There are really only a
Americans for Tax Reform,
a conservative group pushing
for such a law.
Also propelling the idea is
fear that states may eventu-
ally approach Washington for
a taxpayer bailout like the one
for Wall Street. Sen. Mark
Kirk, R-Ill., thinks a bankrupt-
cy option would keep states
from seeking federal aid, a
spokeswoman says. House
Judiciary Committee Chair
Lamar Smith, R-Texas, says
his panel will hold a hearing
on the issue later this month.
Unlike the case with cities and
towns, there is no law allowing
states to seek bankruptcy pro-
tection in federal courts.
A few states have moved to
fix their finances. Lawmakers
in Illinois, for instance, voted
to raise personal income tax 66
percent, along with spending
cuts. The state still faces a $15
billion deficit.
Some opponents argue that
most states have the resources
to pay their debts. They say
bankruptcy backers are scar-
ing people by lumping pen-
sion shortfalls, which can be
plugged over many years, with
annual deficits, which demand
an immediate fix to keep state
budgets balanced.
Unlike the federal gov-
ernment, every state except
Vermont has a legal requirement
to balance its budget, accord-
ing to the National Conference
of State Legislatures. So when
tax collections fall or spending
spikes, states must find the
money elsewhere. That’s why
so many have cut basic ser-
vices during the recession.
By contrast, state pension
gaps are spread over many
years. They shrink or grow
depending on assumptions
about economic growth and
investment returns. Bankruptcy
opponents note that pension
gaps always shrink as the econ-
omy improves and assump-
tions get brighter — though
a strong economy would not
entirely close the gap.
“Overall, pensions are
not a significant reason for
state financial problems,”
says Charles Loveless of
the American Federation of
State, County and Municipal
Employees, who argues that
states don’t need a bankruptcy
option.
Any legislation would face
high hurdles. It’s not clear the
Constitution even allows a fed-
eral court to reorder a state’s
finances. Forcing investors to
accept less money than a state
promised when it sold bonds
would be like forcing them to
accept less money from bonds
sold by Mexico.
House Majority Leader
Eric Cantor, R-Va., contends
that states don’t need bank-
ruptcy because they have other
ways to handle ballooning
debts, including spending cuts,
tax hikes and negotiations with
unions.
He might have mentioned
another: default. States can
simply stop paying what they
owe, though they most cer-
tainly would face higher inter-
est rates the next time they
sold bonds, assuming they’d
be able to sell any. The fallout
is difficult to judge because so
few states have defaulted. The
last time was when Arkansas
stopped paying its creditors
during the Great Depression.
Only 54 of 60,000 municipal
bonds that Moody’s Investors
Service rated from 1970
through 2009 have not been
paid off on time.
The lack of defaults explains
why U.S. governments of all
sizes have managed to pay
relatively low interest rates on
their bonds, though rates have
begun rising. Illinois bonds
maturing in 2028 yield 6.1 per-
cent. That’s up from 5 percent
in early November.

I owe the IRS. Please help.

state could be tied up in court
for years as various sides
squabble over a deal that might
bring only scant relief in the
end. Even discussing the idea
could spook investors and
rattle states’ fragile finances.
States need investors to buy
their bonds, and demand was
already dropping before talk of
a bankruptcy option spread.
Fearing that towns and
cities may default, investors
in November and December
pulled a record $21 billion
Barclays Capital. With states,
the danger is greater.
“There’s only 50 of them,
so if you allow one to file,
people will say, ‘Why does
that state get to escape their
debt and not others?’ Maki
says. “Are you encouraging
poor behavior?”
Bankruptcy talk may
already be taking a toll on
public finances. Matt Fabian
of Municipal Market Advisors
says states, cities and towns
are avoiding issuing new debt,
few escape valves.”
Two possible targets are
bond investors and public
workers.
Backers such as former
House Speaker Newt Gingrich
say states need the threat of
a court-approved bankruptcy
option to wrest concessions
from bondholders and unions.
Unions would “face a
much more dire outcome in
bankruptcy court than they
would if they renegotiated,”
says Patrick Gleason of the
