This year we're riding our bikes from where I live (Findlay area) to Vermont. Last year we rode to Mackinaw City, Mich. We did five days and 500 miles. We stayed in tents, we totally roughed it. Wherever we stopped is where we stayed.The Post: What would the first three songs be on your dream CD?Reinhart: Probably Reliant K, Be My Escape. Any random Switchfoot song could be No. 2. Jeremy Camp, any random song, would be the third one.The Post: Do you have any superstitions or rituals?Reinhart: In high school I wore the same pair of socks every single race. One time I had a state meet and I was wearing the same socks every time. But at the meet I totally forgot them and my mom bought me a pair of socks. It just happens that that was the year I got state runner-up. I kept them and wrote my time on them and everything. The Post: What is your favorite movie?Reinhart: Probably The Notebook or Shawshank Redemption. I'm a huge sucker for love stories and Nicholas Sparks is my favorite author. The Post: Do you have a favorite television show?Reinhart: I like The Amazing Race.The Post: Last CD that you bought?Reinhart: I bought the Switchfoot, Nothing is Sound one.The Post: What do you like or dislike about Athens?Reinhart: It's so pretty out here and everyone is out and active. There's lots going on and I like the flowers in the spring. What I don't like about Athens is that I'm not a huge partier so some of that can get obnoxious.

Editorial: More secrecy!?
Apr. 23, 2006In a recent 5-2 decision, the Ohio Supreme Court ruled that Gov. Taft is entitled to cite executive privilege in concealing the inner workings of his office from the public. Unheard of in Ohio's 203-year history, the ruling bestows upon Taft and future governors a privilege typically associated with the U.S. president. This decision marks a damaging step backward for Ohio's open records policies by placing the governor's desire for secrecy above the public's right to know. It could also provide a smokescreen to possible corruption in Ohio government, obscuring any hope for reform. The state's high court made a mistake in this ruling and ultimately committed an injustice against all Ohioans.
Editorial: Teach, don't parent
Apr. 23, 2006The measures to deter Ohio high school students from committing truancy seemingly have been strengthened by a state law that allows school officials, in conjunction with the Bureau of Motor Vehicles, to revoke a student's driver's license as punishment for excessive or unexcused absences. Although it makes sense for high schools to be concerned about students attending class, this should not warrant the allowance of high school officials to play the part of parents by helping take away a student's driving privileges.
