Dreading the final bell

Muldraugh community struggles
with news of school closing

“I feel like our
town will become
a ghost town
after the
elementary
closes.”

Tanya Smith

Muldraugh resident

By KELLY CANTKALL

Muldraugh parents comfort¬
ed by knowing their children
were just minutes away during
the school day are struggling La
adjust to the news that next
year that won't be the case,

M u 1 d r ai igh El em entar y

School is closing at die end of
the school year, along with
Battletown Elementary' School
northwest of Brandenburg, and
Muldraugh residents are reeling
from the news that their com¬
munity school is dosing.

The Meade County Schools
board voted April 10 Lo close
the two schools after holding a
public forum in March. Super¬
intendent Mitch Crump ex¬
plained to residents at the meet
ing that with budget cuts of
about $1 million in the past lwo
years, and enrollment that has
declined by 22 percent over the
past several years, a need to
close the schools had become
apparent.

The schools have about 90

students each, Crump said. The
cost of educating students at the
schools, which includes the
building upkeep and stall ex¬
penses, is much higher than the
cost of educating students in
other district schools, Crump
said at the meeting.

Muldraugh students will at
tend Flaherty Elementary
School next year, Battletown
students will attend Branden¬
burg Primary School and David
T. Wilson and PaynevUle ele-
mentaries.

Tanya Smith is concerned

about her two children having
to make their way to Flaherty
Elementary, when they could
walk to Muldraugh Elementary
if needed, she said. Flaherty
Elementary is 10 to 12 miles
from Muldraugh Elementary',
depending on die route taken.

The proximity of the ele¬
mentary school is one of the
reasons Smith moved to
Muldraugh, she said. She now
plans to move out of the town at
some point.

Since line town is small,
Smith feels the school added a
big piece to the community.

“I feel like our town will be¬
come a ghost town after the ele¬
mentary closes, 1 * she said.

City Council member Don
aid Basham said he had similar
tears and wonders about prop¬
erty values in town without the
school.

“If you lose your school,
what do you got?” he said.

Basham said he hoped Lhc
city could purchase the build-
ing.

City Council member Pa-

Lriciii Reese said die school id so
provided activities for children.

Sentence handed down
in hotel murder case

Daugherty condemned to 20 years in prison

SARAH MW NETT/The K^sCntefljrise

Lonnie Daugherty, far right, received a sentence 20 years in the strangling
deaths of his wife and her cat. Their bodies were discovered June 25 at the
Holiday Inn Express in Elizabethtown.

By SARAH BENNETT

she n hon^ ww me rprise.eom

An Indiana man was sentenced
to 20 years in prison Friday in
Hardin Circuit Court, 10 months
after Elizabethtown police found
his wife and her cat, Honey, dead
on a Holiday Inn Express bed.

Lonnie Daugherty of Nobles-
ville, Ind., pleaded guilty in March
to charges of murder and second-
degree animal cruelty. He told po¬
lice he strangled his wife, Michele
D. Daugherty, because she wanted
to commit suicide but could not
complete the act herself.

In a statement read by his attor¬
ney, public defender David Stew-
art, Daugherty apologised to his
wife’s family, several of whom
were present Friday in court.

“What IVe done cannot be ex¬
cused or changed, 11 the statement
read.

The 38-year-old churned he act¬
ed out of compassion and at the re¬
quest of his wife, whom he be¬
lieved was depressed as well as
“terminally ill and in pain.” The
couple had been married for 10
years at the time of her death June
25 and were in Elizabethtown on
vacation.

“No matter what, 1 still love
Michele,” his statement read.

Hardin County Coroner Dr, Bill
Lee said Michele Daugherty's au
topsy showed no signs of a life-
threatening condition.

Although there were some gall
stones and a high level of drugs in
her system, Lee said there was
nothing that would require med¬
ical treatment.

In court, judge Kelly Mark
Easton referred to the case as “very
disturbing,* Based on the evi¬
dence, he said the victim could not
have participated in the act

“No one who was not in that
room will ever really know what
was going on or what the mindset
was, 7 ’ Easton said. “The court com¬
pletely rejects the idea of assisted

“The court completely
rejects the idea of
assisted suicide. This
is murder”

suicide. This is murder,*

Police have said Daugherty told
a detective he tried to give his wife
crushed pills in milk, which she
spit up. Next, she tried to cut her¬
self using a razor blade and scis¬
sors, he said. After he attempted to
slit her wrists, he strangled her
“What gives you the right to
take my sister and her cat's life? 17
asked Blair Smith, Michele
Daugherty’s sister, in a statement
read to the court

in addition to Blair Smith's
statement, the court also he aid a
statement from Michele Daugh¬
erty’s mother, Diane Smith. The
two women's comments suggested
a marriage fraught with jealousy
and anger whereas Daugherty’s
implied differently,

“You always wanted to be in

control,” Diane Smith said. “You
didn’t love her enough to stop
drinking and drugs. 77

Daugherty’s 20-year sentence is
the minimum for murder, He also
was given 12 months for the ani¬
mal cruelty charge, which will run
concurrently with the 20 years.

Assistant Commonwealth’s At¬
torney Healher Pay liter said al¬
though the plea agreement was
reached with the family’s approval,
it is not fair as they have lost a
daughter and a sister.

Daugherty is ineligible for pa¬
role until after serving 85 percent
of his sentence, 17 years.

Before concluding the sentenc¬
ing hearing, Easton thanked
Daugherty for his statement, which
he said may offer some “closure"
to the victim's family.

Though a sentencing of years is
a punishment, the judge said its
not a “complete justice, 77 which is
beyond the ability of any judge or
court system.

“It closes one chapter of the
book but opens another chapter
for the victim's family,” he said.

‘Business
incubator’ in
motion at WKU

The Associated Press

BOWLING GREEN - Some West¬
ern Kentucky University students could
be running a downtown business in
Bowling Green by next month thanks to
a student business incubator.

The lwo year project will use space
that previously has housed a candy store,
a wine shop and several restaurants.

WKU professor Bob Hatfield said the
nature of the business will depend on
proposals from students.

“I’m hoping that they will propose
something that will work with the build¬
ing as it exists,” said Hatfield, who holds
the Lessen henry Professorship in Bus¬
iness at WKU, “That would pi obablv be
some kind of durable good. But 1 aonft
want to limit what proposals we might
receive.”

He said WKU’s incubator program
will provide a 1,000-square-fool donated
space for a business, along with some
seed money for supplies and a graduate
student to help keep things moving
along.

Hatfield said students w ill get to pitch
their best business ideas to a panel,
which will then choose which one gets
die green light,

Hatfield said he expects a short term
business at the location by May.

Beshear urges
Congress to keep
student loan
interest rates low

Kentucky Press News Service

FRANKFORT - Gov,
Steve Beshear on Thursday
urged Kentucky’s congres¬
sional delegation to keep col¬
lege loans affordable by acting
to prevent a spike in interest
rates For certain common
loans.

In letters to Kentucky’s rep¬
resentatives and senators in
Congress, Beshear noted if
Congress does not act soon,
interest rates for Stafford loans
will double in July, putting a
higher education out of reach
for many Kentucky families.

“I believe that no person in
Kentucky with the drive and
ability to succeed should be
denied access to a college ed¬
ucation because he or she
can’t afford it. However, far
too often, the door of opportu¬

nity is closed or beyond reach
for many of our children be¬
cause of cost*” Beshear wrote
in the letter, according to a
news release from his office.

Failure by Gmgress to act
would mean an average of
$942 added to the cost of each
Kentucky student loan, which
would affect almost 125,000
borrowers.

“Despite having balanced
Kentucky’s budget eleven
times in four years because of
Ehe economic recession, l
have made protecting student
financial aid a priority. You
have the opportunity to do the
same in Congress,” Beshear’s
letter said, “I urge you to rake
swift action to avoid this in
crease, and ensure that the
dream of an affordable higher
education remains a reality for
Kentucky's families*”

DAILY BRIEFING

RADCLIFF

Southland Bingo
Hall burglarized

A h u rglary som eti m e
Friday night or Saturday
morning at Southland
Bingo Hall in Radcliff re¬
sulted in costly damage and
stolen cash.

Sometime between 11
p.m. Friday and 8:30 a.m.
Saturday, the bingo hall was
burglarized, said Bryce
Shumate, spokesman for
Radcliff Police Department.
The offender or offenders
stayed in the hall for quite
awhile, it appeared, and
caused about $2,000 worth
of damage, Shumate said.

There also was an undis^
closed amount of cash
stolen from an ATM inside
the building, he said.

Several charities use the
bingo hall to raise money,
including Hardin Comity
Pet Protection. That organi¬
zation's president, Gayle
Johnson, said the organiza¬
tion doesn’t keep cash at tire
bingo hall. Lack tif a func¬
tioning ATM at the hall
may have hurt Saturday’s
bingo night, she said Satur¬
day, Prior to the burglary,
Johnson expected the
games to generate about
$2,500,

Johnson said a lot of
items and equipment were
tossed around, and most
doors were taken off their
hinges inside the building.
Each charity has its own of¬
fice in the bingo hall, she
said.

The investigation is on¬
going, Shumate said.

Twenty-six miles of roadside shopping

Ky. 86 yard
sale attracted
homeowners,
Scouts, others
as vendors

By KELLY CANTRALL

ktHni™ll@lhenew5eiiUirpri5exom

Vendors selling their
wares and shoppers look¬
ing for a good deal
Saturday lined Ky. in
Cecilia as residents in
Hardin County and be¬
yond took part in the first
Mile Yard Sale.

The yard sate was or¬
ganized by the Cecilia
Raritan Club, replacing a
community yard sale the
chib hosted the past few
years.

Residents were encour¬
aged to set up their own
sales plots along the 26-
mile length of road or rent
a booth for $ 10 if they did
not live on ihe road.

Club member Jill Ash
lock, who helped organize
the sale, counted 29 sales
set up on the main road,
with plots along side roads
likely pushing the number
into the 40s.

£t We’re very, very
pleased, w she said. The
club did not expect so
much participation with
the event being new to the
aiea T she said,

Ashlock also took an
opportunity lo sec what
was available at the sales,
and stopped by one organ¬
ized by Denise Goodman
and Niki Johnson.

w Fm not only a host.
Tin a shopper,” Ashlock
said.

The streets and sidewalks of
Cecilia were bustling Saturday
during the 26-Mlte Yard Sale
hosted along Ky, 66 by the
Cecilia Ruritan Club,

JILL FLCKSTT/TTie New Ententes

had been planning a yard
sale in Elizabeth l own
when they heard about the
Cecilia event, and decided
to have one there to capi¬
talize on its advertising.

“Good thing we decid¬
ed to change our location,”
Johnson said, as she sur¬
veyed a crowd on the
lawn*

“We had triple the
amount of stuff we have
now,” she said.

A local Boy Scout troop
also used the sale as a
fundraiser. Troop 303 from
St. James School in Eliza¬
bethtown had gathered
items to raise money for an
upcoming trip to Camp
David Boone in North
Carolina.

Vendor Stephanie Roo¬
mer said the fundraising
sale had seen a “constant
stream of people” since
they set up early that
morning. The sale was so
successful Roemer said the
troop will plan to use it as
an annual fundraiser.

“We’ll be here every
year,” she said.

Radcliff finds
policy balance

ISSUE: Alcohol on public property

OUR VIEW: Council should yield solid
city mandate

With more convenient access
to beer, wine and spirits within
the city as a result of the ap¬
proval of expanded alcohol
sales, it comes as no surprise
that more interest is being ex¬
pressed by individuals and or¬
ganizations about alcohol use
policies on Radcliff public prop¬
erty. In response, the Radcliff
City Council recently conducted
a special work session to consid¬
er if, and to what extent, alcohol
is to be allowed at Colvin Com¬
munity Center and in city-
owned parks.

Discussion at the session was
fruitful and a draft resolution on
policy suggestions is expected
for review and approval by
council members during another
special meeting Monday.

With regard to Colvin
Community Center, council
members appropriately reached
agreement that alcohol could be
sold and served at private events
where the center is rented in full
and where licensed caterers are
used. For public events at the
center where admission fees are
charged, the council discussed
allowing alcohol only for func¬
tions hosted by documented
nonprofit organizations. This
limited-use approach as dis¬
cussed makes sense.

Only a zero-tolerance policy
regarding alcohol sales and con¬
sumption would allow the city of
Radcliff and its taxpayers to
avoid the costly risk of a legal

problem in the event of an alco¬
hol-related accident. But the re¬
quirement that only licensed
caterers may sell and serve at¬
tendees their alcoholic libations
of choice more directly puts the
burden of risk where it should
be. If approved, such a policy
regarding Colvin Community
Center will allow flexibility in its
use for private functions such as
wedding receptions, charitable
fundraisers and similar events.

With the exception of city-
sponsored events conducted at
Radcliff City Park North, coun¬
cil members fittingly reached
consensus to prohibit sales and
consumption of alcohol in city
parks. Council members left
room for the sale of beer or
wine coolers through licensed
caterers during city-sponsored
events at the park. The potential
for restricted access beer gar¬
dens during fall Oktoberfest
events, wine or wine cooler sales
during city-sponsored summer
concerts, or other such opportu¬
nities might present interesting
and attractive functions to draw
larger crowds.

However, careful thought
must be given on a case-by-case
basis to avoid any unintended
decline in the family-friendliness
of such events.

Overall, it appears the coun¬
cil discussed and reached con¬
census on a policy Radcliff city
government easily can adopt
and administer.

ing said social networking site.
The fact Bryan has a
Facebook page designated to
the cause shows his interest in
communicating with everyone
he may represent, not just
those with a potential ballot in
hand.

As I previously mentioned,
I am a teenager, a student at
LaRue County High School,
and will not be able to vote in
the upcoming election. So,
why should you listen to me,
or my endorsement of Mr.
Bryan? Because I am one of
many teenagers, one of many
students who attend LaRue
County High School, and
even though I won’t be able to
vote come May 22, the en¬
dorsement I give Mr. Bryan
must be taken into account by

those who can, because it is
but one iterated endorsement,
from a place of respect for Mr.
Bryan, that the majority of my
fellow classmates share. Be¬
cause Mr. Bryan earned this
respect, for not only juggling
college classes with coaching
volleyball, to juggling college
classes to serve an adviser for
us at the Kentucky Youth
Assembly, (where I and fellow
“KYA” classmates, participat¬
ed in mock congressional ses¬
sions, and learned valuable
speaking, intrapersonal and
political skills), we know he
displays an interest to help
those under his watch, and
that sense of caring is exactly
what I would vote in as repre¬
sentative if I were allowed to
vote.

Not only does Mr. Bryan
bring educational experience
to the table as a potential Rep¬
resentative, but he has multi¬
tudes of other ideas from
budgetary reform, to new
methods of the redistricting
process, Bryan has multitudes
of ideas for “Enhancing the
Heartland,” which you can
find out more about through
following the above profile, or

Seeking patience to sort through pieces

A utism is a mystery.
There’s no
known cure and
no confirmed cause.

Diagnosis has increased
dramatically in the past
two decades. It now re¬
portedly impacts one in
110 children in the U.S.

You might recognize
I’ve been doing some re¬
search on the topic. But it
didn’t start here in April,
which is designated as
Autism Awareness Month.

It’s been a topic of par¬
ticular interest for some
time. My primary instruc¬
tor is a 6-year-old redhead¬
ed boy who calls me
Grandpa.

Jacob has an inquisitive
nature and a vast capacity
to learn. At age 4, he could
recognize any letter and
describe the sound it
makes. As a kindergarten¬
er, he’s taken to reading.

He can go online and find
his favorite YouTube
videos without assistance.

But his sensory percep¬
tions are disordered. That’s
part of autism. Frequently,
autism support groups il¬
lustrate the condition with
designs that look like mul¬
ticolored puzzle pieces.
Those with autism see the
world but can’t always put
the pieces together.

When there’s too much
stimulation, the reaction
can be simple silence or an
emotional explosion.

Playing in a youth soc¬
cer league, Jacob could fol¬
low the instruction and in¬

teract one on one with the
coach. When action started
and kids ran in multiple di¬
rections simultaneously, he
became a tree. So much
was happening he froze in
his tracks. The more side¬
line coaching he received
from parents and grand¬
parents, the less he seemed
able to move.

The opposite reaction
can be more disturbing. It
can develop suddenly over
unexpected matters. Sitting
in the car seat, he sudden¬
ly recognized Grandpa is
driving Gigi’s car and a
meltdown ensues. Grand¬
pa’s supposed to drive a
red car, not blue.

He likes order and
structure, not surprises. His
mother coaches him
through a daily calendar,
helping him understand
what tomorrow will bring
and how long until a spe¬

cial activity will occur.

He struggles with social
skills. As a small child, we
noticed he seldom looked
at your face and failed to
react to his own name.

He’s unlikely to answer a
direct question without en¬
couragement. As conversa¬
tions advance all around
him, Jake is content to talk
to himself, repeating song
lyrics or cartoon dialog un¬
der his breath.

However, he’s often
demonstrated he only
seems detached. He might
sit tapping a toy against a
book in a repetitive man¬
ner he finds calming, while
absorbing all that’s going
on. At the most unexpect¬
ed times, he reacts to the
conversation in a perfectly
obvious manner that
proves how well he was
aware.

Jacob’s learning skills

sometimes take shape in
unique ways. Take, for ex¬
ample, an early love for
catch phrases.

Around age 3, he no¬
ticed cartoon superheroes
had key statements associ¬
ated with them. Superman
says, “Up, up and away”
and the Fantastic 4’s Thing
proclaims, “It’s clobbering
time.” He quickly added
Bugs Bunny’s “What’s Up,
Doc?” and Porky Pig’s
“That’s All, Folks.”

Professional wrestlers
have a similar trait and
Jake would share John
Cena’s trademark “You
can’t see me” and he knew
The Undertaker said,

“Rest in Peace.”

As he went through this
phase about three years
ago, family members often
put him through the paces,
tossing out a name and
waiting for his perfect re¬

sponse. I made sure he
learned Elvis says, “Don’t
be cruel” and Johnny Cash
says, “I walk the line.”

It wasn’t long before
Jacob started seeking more
and more phrases. He
even assigned statements
to family members. For ex¬
ample, what does Mom
say? He immediately re¬
sponded: “Now what?”

And what does Grand¬
pa say? “I love Jake.”

Every grandfather
should be lucky enough to
translate that message into
the heart of a grandchild.
And it’s a vital piece of
working through the puz¬
zle of autism.

Vets navigate tough new
terrain — the job market

By SHARON COHEN

AP National Writer

CHICAGO - Matthew Saldana
proved himself in a world where
stress, danger and life-and-death
decisions were routine. He served
one tour in Iraq and a second in
Afghanistan. But the Army veteran
is having a harder time back home
navigating a calmer but uncertain
terrain — the job market.

On this spring day, Saldana is
roaming the aisles of a noisy ball¬
room in the Hilton Chicago at a
Hiring Our Heroes job fair. Dres¬
sed smartly in red tie and black suit,
he clutches a leather folder contain¬
ing his three-page resume, joining
hundreds of other vets looking for
opportunity and a paycheck.

“It’s frustrating trying to get back
on track,” the 29-year-old Saldana
said, his soft voice barely audible in
the din of the crowd. “I always
thought if I get out the military, I’d
be a step up. That’s not what it
takes. It’s who you know.”

Saldana, who left the Army in
2004, hasn’t worked full time in 18
months. He’s scoured “‘help want¬
ed” listings, taken college courses
and earned an emergency medical
technician certificate. But he finds
himself pigeonholed. “What do
you come out with having been an
artillery man or in the infantry?” he
asks. “The best job you can get is
security. That’s not what I want to

RICHARD DREW/The Associated Press

Matthew Pizzo, a U.S. Air Force
veteran who has law and business
degrees and wants to find work in
financial or business areas in New
York, keeps his resume on his iPad.

do for the rest of my life.”

Saldana’s dream is to become a
Chicago firefighter - he’s been on a
waiting list five years. He’s survived
mostly by working security, he’s a
fill-in sub at one company and also
earns a modest on-call fee as a fire-
fighter-EMT in a southern suburb.
“I’m barely pulling through,” he
says. “I’m drowning. I need to find
something fast.”

His predicament is shared by
tens of thousands of Iraq and Af¬
ghanistan veterans facing a rocky
transition from the routine and reli¬

ability of military life to the volatility
and limited job prospects of a nation
emerging from the worst economic
crisis since the Great Depression.

Like many other vets, Saldana
misses the Army’s anchors: a sense of
camaraderie and its steady income.

“Here,” he said, “you’ve got to
worry about how you’re going to
find money to eat and how you’re
going to pay the bills.”

And like many vets, he’s now try¬
ing to find his way in an ultra-tight
labor market, competing with mil¬
lions of unemployed people, some
with long resumes and proven
records in the civilian workplace.
Some vets face even more hurdles:
job-hunting skills that are rusty after
spending months, or years, in uni¬
form. No college degree. And little
exposure to a business culture that
has its own language and rules.

“We’ve had to be entrepreneur¬
ial and innovative and think on the
fly and manage people and logistics
... we know that we have the skills,”
says Matthew Colvin, who advises
companies on hiring as a member
of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of
America. “But it’s hard to convey
our worth a lot of times because we
know it in military terms, not in
civilian terms.”

“Sometimes we hide the fact that
we’re veterans,” adds Colvin, an Air
Force vet of two tours in Afghan¬
istan. “I don’t think that’s the way it
should be.”

The Ncws-Entcipriac's

What

According to the 2012 Consu¬
mer Financial Literacy Survey
conducted by the National
Foundation for Credit Counseling
and the Network Branded Pre¬
paid Card Association, 42 per¬
cent of Americans give them¬
selves a grade of C, D or F when
it comes to personal finance
knowledge. That’s an increase
from 35 percent in 2010, which
suggests many Americans still are
struggling with how to effectively
manage their finances during the
slow economic recovery. For ex¬
ample:

Eighty percent of adults say
they could benefit from the ad¬
vice of a professional when it
comes to everyday financial deci¬
sions - that’s up from 76 percent
the year before.

For adults seeking help with a
debt problem, 27 percent say
their first choice remains friends
and family. But 13 percent say
they would contact their primary
financial institution first. Just 8
percent responded that way last
year.

The proportion of adults who
have ordered or received their
credit score in the past 12 months
jumped to 44 percent from 37
percent the previous year.

Other surveys point out sever¬
al additional problems. Respon¬
dents who are 50 years old or
older were asked three questions.
To answer the questions correctly,
they needed to have a working
understanding of interest rates,
the effects of inflation and the
concept of risk diversification.

correcdy answered all three ques¬
tions, according to a study by the
TIAA-CREF Institute.

In an effort to help educate
more Americans about money
matters, April was designated
National Financial Literacy
Month with public and private
programs to draw more attention
to the importance of financial lit¬
eracy as well as its impact on the
nation’s future financial health.

Schools, families, governments
and financial institutions all have
a role to play in promoting finan¬
cial literacy. The need and level
of education varies substantially
by age, race, gender and socio¬
economic status. Developing

sound financial education pro¬
grams must take into account
these variables as well as individ¬
ual preferences and learning
styles.

For most Americans, planning
for financial well-being has be¬
come a do-it-yourself project, and
it’s more essential than ever to
have the ability to manage their
financial lives well. If you need
help increasing your financial IQ,
there are a number of free sour¬
ces to get you started.

There’s the Society for Finan¬
cial Awareness, a nonprofit or¬
ganization that provides compa¬
nies, churches and organizations
with financial education through
seminars and workshops. SOFA
has more than 20 seminars cover¬
ing a wide variety of topics. For
more information, log on to

Fort Knox Federal Credit
Union also offers free financial
education tools on its education
page at www.fortknoxfcu.net.
Various links are tailored by age
groups and interests. One of the
more popular tools is Debt in
Focus, which provides confiden¬
tial recommendations based on
your specific financial situation.

Getting assistance with learn¬
ing more about financial manage¬
ment can be as easy as contacting
your primary financial institution
with your questions. But however
you get started, the important
step is to start.

marketing for Fort Knox Federal
Credit Union.

KORT named
a ‘best place
to work’

For the eighth year in a
row, Kentucky Orthopedic
Rehab Team was chosen as
one of the Best Places to
Work in Kentucky by the
Kentucky Society for Hu¬
man Resource Manage¬
ment and the Kentucky
Chamber of Commerce.
KORT was recognized as
the area’s best employer -

placing 15th in the large
company category.

The company’s local fa¬
cility is at 708 Westport
Road in Elizabethtown.

The state-wide competi¬
tion among large and medi¬
um-sized employers awards
those companies that have
“created a productive and
enriching workplace.” Ac¬
cording to program man¬
agers, the “goal of the cam¬
paign is to encourage area
employers and employees
to work together to create
excellence in the work¬
place.”

DOW REGAINS GROUND IT LOST IN APRIL It took a while, but
the Dow Jones industrial average finally gained back all its
losses for the month. On a day of conflicting signals, as in¬
vestors weighed disappointing economic news against re¬
ports of higher profits at big companies, stocks inched high¬
er. All three major indexes were up Friday, though barely.

Companies in the S&P 500 now are on track to report a
6 percent rise in earnings for the first three months of 2012
compared with a year ago, according to FactSet, a financial
data provider. Last month, Wall Street analysts had expect¬
ed earnings this quarter to be flat.

"Three-Eyed Bandit
Robs Huntington Bank"
was his release from 2009
about a robber with a tat¬
too of an eyeball on his
neck.

"'Church Lady' Strikes
Again," said a 2010 release
about a woman who wit¬
nesses described as dress¬
ing "like she just came
from church."

"'Droopy-Drawers
Bandit' Hits Reynoldsburg
Credit Union," explained a
2011 release about a man
wearing low-riding pants.

Trombitas, 56, who lives
outside Columbus, retires
Monday as an FBI agent
just ahead of the mandato¬
ry retirement age of 57. In a
career spanning almost
three decades, he chased
car thieves in St. Louis, or¬
ganized crime bosses in
New York City and several
notorious criminals in
Ohio, including serial
killer Thomas Dillon, who
shot to death five outdoors-
men from 1989 to 1993.

"It just occurred to me
that if we could take a look

at what happened in the
robbery or how the person
looked, and come up with
some kind of a nickname
for that robber, that would
give him his own identity,"
Trombitas said.

His FBI supervisors
never saw a problem with
his approach. Other offi¬
cers around town were ini¬
tially uncomfortable with
the practice, but they even¬
tually came around.

"After a while they saw
the value of doing that, and
then it got to the point
where everybody expected
a nickname," Trombitas
said.

Other "best of' mon¬
ikers from the files of
Trombitas releases, which
were always accompanied
by bank surveillance pho¬
tos: the "Grumpy Bandit"
for a robber who grunted
at a teller; the "Enviro-
Friendly Robber," named
for bringing a reusable gro¬
cery bag for the loot;
"Mullet Man," because,
well, say no more; and the
2011 suspect dubbed the
"Dirty Bieber Bandit" be¬

cause, as Trombitas noted,
a witness described the
man as looking just like
Justin Bieber, "only dirty."

Almost all the cases
were solved with arrests
within a few days or weeks.

Seeing humor in crime
isn't new. Just read a com¬
munity police blotter or lis¬
ten to drive-time radio
hosts make fun of bungling
burglars. Police officers
themselves have an entire
vocabulary, often unprint¬
able, to describe the activi¬
ties of suspects they pur¬
sue.

But public quips of the
type Trombitas is famous
for are more unusual, espe¬
cially for the FBI with its
stereotype of straight-laced
government agents, crimi¬
nologists say.

"Its value is it gets atten¬
tion," said Tim Apolito, a
criminal justice professor
at the University of Day-
ton. The public will re¬
member those details
"compared to if they just
give a physical description
of somebody," he said.

Wash, sheriffs
blast open
bunker to end
standoff

By GENE JOHNSON
and TED WARREN

The Associated Press

NORTH BEND, Wash.

— After a 22-hour standoff,
police blew the top off a
rugged mountain bunker
near Seattle on Saturday,
only to find their target — a
man believed to be a mur¬
der suspect who holed up
there — dead of a self-inflict¬
ed gunshot wound inside.

Authorities had not posi¬
tively identified the body as
Peter Keller, 41, who hadn't
been seen since his wife and
daughter were found shot to
death last weekend, King
County sheriffs Sgt. Katie
Larson said.

A bomb squad cleared
the bunker, built into a
ridge in the Cascade
Mountains, to make sure
there were no booby-traps
before detectives entered.
Officers shouted warnings
before blowing the roof,
Larson said. Tear gas
pumped into the bunker
didn't work on Friday. With
clear weather and a fresh
SWAT team in place
Saturday morning, it was
time to act more aggressive¬
ly, she said.

It wasn't clear if any offi¬
cers had heard the gunshot
from inside the bunker, she
said.

The raid ended a tense
week for law enforcement
officials who tried to track
down Keller, a gun enthusi¬
ast described by his family
as having a "survivalist
mentality."

As a lead

Ohio, and five robberies in
a single day on at least two
occasions.

WASHINGTON

Now that Mitt Romney has
emerged as the likely GOP
presidential nominee, con¬
gressional Republicans in¬
creasingly are taking their
cues from him even if it
causes heartburn and
grumbling among conser¬
vatives unhappy about
having to beat a tactical re¬
treat

That dynamic was on
hill display last week as
House Speaker John Boeh¬
ner coped with the dust-up
generated by President
Barack Obama over stu¬
dent loans and Senate
GOP leader Mitch Mc-
Conn el 1 si de ste pped
Democratic attempts to
brand Republicans as soft
on the issue of violence
against women.

It’s a defensive game for
Republicans, determined
to avoid their stumbles last
year when they lost the pa
litical buttle over renewing
Obama's payroll tax cut.

“Some folks in an elec¬
tion year would say you
need to take lough issues
off the table," said Rep.
Rob Woodall, R-Ga.
“Other folks in an election
year say you need to bring
your best solutions to the

toughest issues, and Vm in
that latter camp."

The matter of student
loan interest rates was on
the back burner until bare¬
ly a week ago when the
White House elevated it to
the top of its agenda,
Obama pounded away
during visits to university
campuses in North
Carolina, Iowa and Colo¬
rado, pivotal states in the
November election.

Interest rates are sched¬
uled to double, from 3.4
percent to 6.8 percent, on
July 1 due to a quirk in a
law Democrats muscled
through Congress five
years ago.

Romney on Monday

endorsed the $6 billion
move to forestall the inter¬
est rate increase, even be¬
fore Obama had arrived at
the University of North
Carolina in Chape! Hill
Boehner quickly set a vote,
using unspent money from
Obama’s unpopular health
care law to pay Tor the
plan. By Friday, the issue
mostly was deflated.

The vote, however, put
Republicans at odds with
the Club For Growth,
which urged lawmakers to
oppose the legislation. The
group sometimes uses its
fundraising power to back
primary challengers to
GOP incumbents,

Boehner, R-Qhio, ac¬

cused Obama of manufac¬
turing the issue,

“The president keeps at¬
tempting to invent these
fake fights because he
doesn't have a record of
success or a positive agen
da lor our country," the
speaker said, “It is as sim¬
ple as this: The emperor
has no clothes.’'

In fact. Republicans had
invited a light by Failing to
address the issue before
Obama raised it. Their
budget blueprint last
month assumed Ihe inter¬
est rate subsidy would ex¬
pire. While the GOP chair
man of the House Edu¬
cation and the Workforce
Committee worked on a
longer-term plan, Boehner
stepped in to take the issue
off the campaign table.

tl I think they're doing a
good job of seeing when
pitches are coming at their
head,” said GOP strategist
John Feehery of Quinn
Gillespie & Associates.

But, Feehery added,
“You can’t just be on de¬
fense all the time. You've
got to be on offense, too.
The Republicans arc better
off when they're trying to
pin Obama down on
things as opposed to when
they’re trying to avoid hay¬
makers from Obama."

of women in Secret Service

The Associated Pies*

WASHINGTON -

Secret Service agents of¬
ten arc portrayed in pop
iilar culture as disci¬
plined, unflappable, loyal
and male. A spiraling
prostitution scandal that
has highlighted the
dearth of women in the
agency that, protects the
president and dignitaries
has many wondering:
Would more females in
the ranks prevent future
dishonor?

Only about a tenth of
field agents and uni¬

formed officers are wo¬
men, a shortage some at¬
tribute to travel demands
that can be especially Lax
ing on women balancing
families and careers. A
scandal that risks por¬
traying the agency as
unfriendly to women,
however, could set back
efforts to close the gen¬
der gap,

“I can’t help but
think that there would
be some progress if
there was more diversity
and if there were more
women that were there,"
said Rep. Carolyn Ma-

House Oversight and
Gove in ment Re for m
Committee. “When you
have a diversity of people
there, it brings more ac¬
countability.”

WASHINGTON (A?)
- The Senate campaign of
Florida Republican Marco
Rubio has agreed to pay an
$8,000 fine for accepting
slightly more than $210,000
in improper contributions.

Considered a top candi¬
date for the vice presiden¬
tial spot on the Republican
ticket this fail, Rubio won
his Senate seat from Florida
in 2010 in a race against in¬
dependent candidate Char¬
lie Crist and Democrat
Kendrick Meek.

In public and private,
Ala. recalls 2011 twisters

High court’s
stance could spur
immigration laws

By JAY REEVES

The Associated Press

TUSCALOOSA, Ala.

Alabama residents who
spent the last year rebuild¬
ing their lives and mourn¬
ing the dead from a his¬
toric tornado onslaught
marked the anniversary
Friday in both public re¬
membrances and intimate
moments in communities
still scattered with wreck¬
age and memories.

In Tuscaloosa, where
scores of home lots are
now empty and littered
with debris and weeds,
Stephanie Nixon stood in
her new home built by
church volunteers as she
recalled the terror of hist
April 27, when 62 twisters
plowed across the state,
killing more than 250 peo¬
ple.

The twister that mowed
down Nixon’s neighbor¬
hood ripped her old home
into shreds as she acid her
family cowered inside. On
the anniversary, Nixon
wanted nothing mote than
to be with her two sons
and boyfriend before at¬
tending a citywide ceremo¬
ny.

“We just want to love
each other/' said Nixon.

to reflect a$ he stood be¬
side a small lake still full of
storm debris. Broken,
gnarly trees gashed the
horizon; some nearby
businesses are just now re¬
opening;

Limmroth, whose com¬
mercial photography busi¬
ness also was damaged,
still struggles with the fact
that a University of Ala¬
bama student died when a
tornado shredded a rental
home he owned.

“They have a memorial
where it happened.
There's a chair, and some¬
times I just go sit and
pray,** said Limmroth.

During a ceremony at
the Capitol in Mont¬
gomery, Gov. Robert Bent¬
ley was flanked on either
side by 253 Alabama flags
- one lor each of the
storm's dead. Behind him
was a placard with the
name of each person who
died,

“I love the people of this
state, and were going to

“And that’s going to take a

Co mmunities across
Alabama have planned
ceremonies and events to
recall the tornado out¬

2,000 people and damaged
or destroyed tens of thou¬

Teacher placed on leave amid verbal abuse probe

The As^iciated Press

CHERRY HILL, NJ,

- Schooi officials say a
southern New Jersey
teacher accused of verbally
abusing an autistic student
has been placed on paid
leave.

Cherry Hill Super¬

intendent Maureen Reus-
che said she took the ac¬
tion to minimize the “dis¬
ruption to onr schools*" re¬
garding the allegation
against Kelly Altenburg, a
special education teacher.
Days ago, a parent posted
on YouTube clips of secret¬
ly recorded audio that

caught one adult calling his
autistic 10-year-old son “a
bastard- w

Altenburgs lawyers say
an investigation by the dis
trict found that Altenburg
was not in the room when
the remarks were made.
Officials say the employees
heard on the recording

made in February are no
longer with the district.

In growing numbers,
parents are turning to se¬
cret audio recordings to
catch verbally abusive
school employees.

By DAVID CRARY

AT National Writer

Emboldened by signals that the US. Supreme
Court may uphold parts of Arizona's immigration
law, legislators and activists across the country say
they are gearing up to push for similar get-tough

measures in their states.

“We’re getting our national network ready to run
with the ball, and saturate state legislatures with
versions of the law ,” said William Gheen, president
of Americans for I^gal Immigration, “We believe
we can pass it in most states/’

That goal may be a stretch, but lawmakers in
about a dozen states told The Associated Press they
were interested in proposing Arizona style laws if
its key components are upheld by the Supreme
Court. A ruling is expected in June on the De¬
partment of Justice's appeal that the law conflicts
with federal, immigration policy

Dan Stein, president of the Federation for
American Immigration Reform, SEud he was en¬
couraged that several justices suggested during
Wednesday's oral arguments that they are ready to
let Arizona enforce the most controversial part of
its law a requirement dial police officers check
the immigration status of people they suspect are in
the country illegally. Another provision allows sus¬
pected illegal immigrants to be arrested without

warrants.

For starters, a ruling in favor of Arizona’s Senate
Bill 1070 would likely enable Alabama, Georgia,
Indiana, South Carolina and Utah to put move for¬
ward with comparable measures that were enacted
but have been on hold pending the high court's de¬
cision.

“If Arizona does veiy well, we’ll do very well/'
said Alabama Sen. Scott Reason, sponsor of a law
that in some respects is tougher than Arizona's. In
addition to requiring police to determine citizen¬
ship status during traffic stops, it directs govern¬
ment offices to verify legal residency for transac¬
tions like obtaining a car license, enrolling i\ child
in school and getting a job.

Lawmakers in such diverse stales as Mississippi
and Pennsylvania said they would be eager to fol¬
low the Arizona/AJabama model if the Supreme
Court gives a green light,

“You look al poll after pull after poll, whether
they’re a business owner or employee or small
business owner or executive, the majority of
Americans support bills like 1070,** said Penn¬
sylvania Rep. Daryl Metcalfe, a Republican who
chairs the House State Government Committee.

Panetta recalls final
hours of bin Laden raid

The Associated Ptiesa

An undated file photo shows al Qaida leader Osama bin Laden,
In Afghanistan.

By LOLITA C. BALDOR

The Associated Pr^s

ABOARD A U.S.
MILITARY AIRCRAFT

- The picture in Defense
Secretary Leon Panetta- s
office captures the “mis¬
sion accomplished” mo¬
ment.

It shows Panetta, then
the head of the CIA, and a
group of U.S. commandos
and others in the CIA op¬
erations center on the night
of May 2 with their amis
around each other — a qui¬
et celebration just after
U.S, helicopters crossed
back over the border into
Afghanistan.

Not until then - 90 min¬
utes after LI.S. special oper¬
ations forces had lifted oft
from the heavily fortified
compound in Pakistan
where they went in search
of Osama bin Laden - was
he sure they could breathe
a sigh of relief,

il We got the job done,”
Panetta said Friday as he
recalled the long silences
and the tense, heart-
pounding moments before
Adm. William Me Raven's
words finally came
through loud and clear,
“Geronimo EKIA” -
the code name for bin
Laden, and the signal for
“enemy killed in action,*
With the first anniver¬
sary of the al-Qaida
leader’s death approach¬
ing, Panetta spoke to re¬
porters on his plane as he
(lew back horn a series of
meetings with defense
leaders in South America,
Perched on a table inside
the Airstream trailer -
dtibbed the Silver Bullet -
that serves as his office in¬
side his C 17 transport
plane, Panetta traced back
through the nerve-wrack¬
ing moments of that night.
And he talked about its
impact over the past year.

T don’t think there's
any question that America
is safer as a result of the bin
Laden operation/' he said.

While al-Qaida and its
offshoots remain a threat,
he said, the military and in-
te Uigen c e common i ti es
have learned to work bet¬
ter together since Sept. II,
200 L Still, he acknowl¬
edged, there is no single,
completely effective w ay to
destroy the terror network,

“The way this works is
that the more successful we
are aL taking down those
who represent their spiritu¬
al, ideological leadership,
the greater our ability to
weaken their threat to this
Country,” he said.

The story of the raid is
well-known: The SEALs
and special operations
forces that flew deep into
Pakistan; the wrenching
moment when one of the
helicopters went down in
ffie heat, landing hard with

its tail on the wall; the
SEALs’ assault on the
house where they believed
bin Laden and his wives
had been living for several
years; and what Panetta on
Friday called the “finger¬
nail-biting moments,”

“We knew that there
were gunshots and firing,
but alter that we just didn't
know," said Panetta, de¬
scribing the 20 minutes of
silence after the SEALs
went into the house.

Then came confusion.
Me Raven, commander of
the operation, told him
that he thought he’d
picked up the word
“Geronimo,”

“The way he said it was
like, you know, *We
think/” said PaneUa. “It
wasn't ideal. We were still
waiting*”

A few minutes later
came the KIA message.
Then came the long flight
om of Pakistan.

Chaperones among new
Secret Service conduct rules

The Associated Prcw>

WASHINGTON

Embarrassed by a prostitu¬
tion scandal, the Secret
Service will assign chaper¬
ones on some trips to eiv
force new rules of conduct
that make clear that exces¬
sive drinking, entertaining
foreigners in their hotel
rooms and cavorting in dis¬
reputable establishments
are no longer tolerated.

The stricter measures,
issued Friday for agents
and employees, apply even
when traveling personnel
are off duty.

The policies, outlined in
a memorandum obtained
by The Associated Press,
are the agency's latest at¬
tempt to respond to the
scandal that surfaced as

President Barack Obama
was headed to a I^itin
American summit in Car¬
tagena, Colombia, earlier
this month.

The embattled Secret
Service director, Mark Sul¬
livan, said the rules “can¬
not address every situation
that our employees will
face as we execute our
dual- m ission s t h rough o ut
the world" He added:
“The absence of a specific,
published standard of con¬
duct covering an act or be¬
havior does not mean that
the act is condoned, is per¬
missible or will not call for
— and result in - corrective
or disciplinary action."

“All employees have a
continuing obligation to
confront expected abuses
or perceived misconduct,”

Sullivan said.

Ethics classes will be
conducted for agency em¬
ployees next w eek.

The changes were in¬
tended to staunch the em¬
barrassing disclosures
since April 13, when a
prostitution scandal erupt¬
ed in Cartagena involving
agents, officers and super
visors ho were there ahead
of Obama's visit to the
Summit of the Americas,
But the new policies
raised questions about
claims that the behavior
discovered in Cartagena
was an isolated incident:
Why would the Secret
Service formally issue new
regulations covering thou¬
sands of employees if such
activities were a one-time
occurrence?

Calif, rescuers hope
dolphin finds way
back to sea

The Aswiatcd Press

HUNTINGTON
BEACH, Calif. - A way¬
ward dolphin that has
spent two days in a narrow
wetlands channel along the
southern California coast
was on its way out to the
ocean Saturday when it
suddenly turned tail and
swam back to shallow wa¬
ters.

Wildlife experts on pad
dleboards managed to
coax the animal towards
the open sea Saturday but
it was spooked by a pair of
fellow dolphins.

“He freaked out for
some reason, n said Peter
Wallenstein of Marine
Animal Rescue. “He split
almost hill-speed back un¬
der the bridge where he
had heeiC’

Rescuers decided to let
the healthy. Strong and fast
dolphin try to find its own
way out. Waller stein said.
Any attempt to capture it
could be dangerous to the
animal and rescuers.

The six foot'long, black
and-white common dol¬
phin was spotted in a chan¬
nel of the Botaa Chica wet¬

lands Friday, circling in
shallow waters as crowds
grew along the banks and
TV helicopters flew over¬
head.

Wall cry Lein said the 400
pound dolphin doesn't
need a high tide to escape.

“He's not stranded and
he's not trapped," Waller-
stein said. “He can make it
out if he chooses lo + "

The wetlands are sepa-
mied from the ocean by a
wide beach and Pacific
Coast Highway. Sea water
flows in from Huntington
Harbour on one end and
an inlet cut through the
beach on the opposite end.

The dolphin, part of a
small pod seen in the har¬
bor earlier in the week^ en¬
tered the channel through
a hole in a tidal gate that
separates the harbor from
the marsh, said Dean
Gomersalfi animal care su¬
pervisor at the nonprofit
Pacific Marine Mammal
Center.

The other five dolphins
remained in the harbor
and may have to be coaxed
back out to sea, Gomersall
said.
