Linda Hollanshead, founder of Hollanshead Insurance, left, and
Fred Burton, owner of Family Pharmacy, stand with the awards
they received at the Logan County Area Chamber of Commerce’s
annual meeting Wednesday at Tree Links Golf Course.
Business owners, local officials and community members
gathered Wednesday evening
at Tree Links Golf Course for
a dinner affair marking the
67th annual meeting of the
Logan County Area Chamber
of Commerce.
Rebecca
Marker-Smith,
director of marketing and
membership for the chamber,
expanded on the program’s
theme, The World is Closer
Than You Think.
“If you walk into area factories, they have ties to across
the world,” she said. “Our
local Honda plants are based
in Japan, Siemens is based in
Germany and TRC tests equipment from around the world.”
Chad Ross, who is the
chamber’s new chairman,
replaces Jim Snyder who
served 22 months, said he
wants Logan County to look
regionally and beyond to
attract new companies to the
area.
“Automobile manufacturing has a strong presence in
the area, and overall, our local
economy has been blessed by
other manufacturing industries
as well,” he said.
“However, I want to attract
even more diverse businesses,
such as IT companies and
satellite businesses that distribute ethanol — to the area.”
The Integrity in Business
Award was presented to Fred
Burton of Family Pharmacy,
which closed its 124 S. Main
St. business on Aug. 27. The
business only was sold to Rite
Aid.
“I don’t feel like I was
bought out of business,” he
said when accepting his
award. “We had a niche for so
many years.”
Family Pharmacy was first
known as Butler Drugs when it
opened during the late 1800s.
It later was known as Powell
Pharmacy and Insley Pharmacy before taking its final name
in 1972 when Mr. Burton
became an owner.

Children’s bill veto wrong way to regain GOP’s
rep for fiscal restraint, some Republicans say
By CHARLES BABINGTON
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON — In
backing President Bush’s veto
of a children’s health bill,
many Republicans feel their
party has picked the wrong
issue to try to regain its longlost reputation as guardian of
prudent federal spending.
Democrats gleefully concur
and are pouring money, time
and energy into efforts to make
GOP leaders pay dearly for the
decision.
Bush and most congres-
Agency in Russells Point, was
the recipient of the Richard J.
Rupp Award.
“I love Logan County; I
intend to stay here and do
everything I can for Logan
County,” said Mrs. Hollanshead, who was involved in
establishing the Indian Lake
Community Church Day Care,
which has served 1,000 children over the past 17 years.
She is past president of the
Indian Lake Area Chamber of
Commerce and active in various community endeavors.
The chamber presented its
Ambassador Award to Rhonda
England and recognized retiring directors Sandy Musser,
Bob Robinson and Martha
O’Connor. It also introduced
new directors Peter Stolly and
Tammy Gump.
AP NEWS ANALYSIS
sional Republicans say they
support an expansion of the
State Children’s Health Insurance Program, known as
SCHIP. But they want something considerably smaller
than the $35 billion, five-year
increase approved by the
Democratic-led House and
Senate and vetoed Wednesday
by Bush.
Five dozen congressional
Republicans supported the
bill, which would significantly
expand subsidized health
insurance for children in families earning two or three times
the federal poverty rate. Most
Republicans opposed it, mainly because of its cost and size.
Party leaders say the House
will sustain Bush’s veto in two
weeks.
The events have brought a
long-simmering GOP debate
to a full boil. Some Republicans feel their party was foolish to let spending and deficits
soar while Bush was president
and Republicans controlled
Congress for a dozen years.
Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla.,
said in a recent Senate speech:
“This will be the sixth time
since 1997 that the debt limit
has been raised.”
“There is no system of economic controls,” Coburn said.
“My own party did a lot to create this mess.”
Most Republican lawmakers have backed Bush in arguing that tax cuts and heavy
spending on the Iraq and
Afghanistan wars are more
important than cutting federal

Cindy Irick, director of
nursing for the Logan County
Health District, presented
information about flu vaccinations at the district’s board
meeting Wednesday afternoon.
The health district will
operate two flu clinics.
The first clinic, operated on
a first-come, first-served basis
from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday,
Oct. 27, at Riverside High
School, DeGraff, is open to
those at least six months of
age. The cost of the cash-only
clinic is $10 per shot.
Ms. Irick said the clinic also
serves as an emergency preparedness drill for the health
district.
“This exercise will help our
staff and volunteers get the
feel and layout of the (Riverside school) facility in case an
emergency situation would
come up in the future,” she
said.
Health Commissioner Boyd
Hoddinott said the more people who participate in the clinic, the better prepared the
health district would be in the
event of an actual emergency.
“We hope to get a high
turnout from the community,”
he said.
Riverside EMS, DeGraff
EMS, the Logan County
EMA, the Mad River Chapter
of the American Red Cross,
and several other local agencies also are involved in organizing and executing the clinic,
Ms. Irick said.
A second clinic for highrisk individuals is from 9 a.m.
to 6 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 31,
at the health district, 310 S.
Main St. The price per shot is
$20. Register by calling 592-
9042 between Oct. 15-24.
Medicare and Medicaid are
accepted.
Individuals at risk for
developing
complications
from influenza include those
between the ages of six
months and 59 months, pregnant women, adults 50 years
and older and those with
chronic illnesses, according to
Ohio Department of Health
guidelines. Individuals who
come in contact with infants
up to six months old are also
recommended for the vaccine.
In other action, the board:
• accepted a $5,000 twoyear grant from the Bureau for
Children with Medical Handicaps, which will be used to
serve the Amish community;
• hired Misti Buckenroth,
home health billing clerk, to
replace Kim Bolt;
• approved annual evaluations for Virginia White, public health nurse; Pam Wood,
environmental clerical specialist; Cathy Summers, nursing
services clerical specialist;
Jackie Prater, immunizations
clerk; Pat Lentz, emergency

Lawyers don’t
think Richey can
get fair retrial in
Ohio county
By JOHN SEEWER
Associated Press Writer
OTTAWA — The courtroom where Kenneth Richey
sat in handcuffs this week
looks just the same as it did
when he was sentenced to
death 20 years ago except for a
couple new coats of paint.
The vaulted ceilings, the
wood benches, the inscription
above the judge that reads
“Justice to All” — they’re all
still there.
But Richey’s lawyers say he
shouldn’t be there. They think
it would be unfair to retry him
in the Putnam County courtroom where he was convicted
of starting a fire that killed a
toddler and was sentenced to
death in 1987.
They plan on asking the visiting judge presiding over the
case to move Richey’s new
trial in the case.
A federal appeals court
ordered Richey’s release or
retrial after finding that his
original lawyers mishandled
the case and may have been
able to dispute evidence that
Richey started the fire.
The main argument for
moving the new trial is that
most people in the rural northwest Ohio county already
know Richey was convicted
once before.
“This is the most prominent
case that has happened here in
the last 25 years,” said defense
attorney Ken Parsigian.
He wants to make sure the
jury only listens to the facts the
second time around and doesn’t take into consideration the
original conviction.
County prosecutor Gary
Lammers said there’s no reason to think an impartial jury
can’t be found locally. “A lot
of people don’t remember
this,” he said.
Richey, 43, is a U.S.-British
citizen who came to stay with
his American-born father in
the early 1980s.
Richey was living in a
Columbus Grove apartment
complex when a fire broke out
there, killing 2-year-old Cynthia Collins.
Prosecutors say he threatened to burn the place down
hours before the fire and set it
to get even with a former girlfriend who lived in the building.
Richey’s defense team contends there were several problems with his conviction, saying investigators mishandled
evidence and experts used
faulty science to determine
that gas or paint thinner started
the blaze.
But, despite the new
lawyers and new evidence,
Richey has said he doesn’t
think he could get a fair trial
again in the same courthouse.
“Too many people know
about it,” said his brother,
Steve Richey, who still lives
nearby. “Can he get a fair
shake? I don’t know.”

MRDD approves bid for transportation services
The Logan County Board
of MRDD accepted a bid for
transportation services at its

Transportation staff members would have the opportunity to transfer their employ-
ment to Petermann Transportation.
New staff members, David
Tyler, custodian; Bonnie Pattison, vocational support specialist; and Linda Helriggle,
bus assistant, were introduced.
The board discussed the
necessity of a boiler replacement at the RTC Industries

U.S. statehouses join the digital age to attract new visitors
COLUMBUS (AP) —
States are using the Internet,
offering full wireless coverage
and hawking lawmaker playing cards to attract new, more
youthful visitors to aging capitol buildings.
At Ohio’s Civil War-era
Statehouse, new gadgets
include interactive statues and
a Web site that offers contests
with prizes from a gift shop.
The site, which held its official
debut Wednesday, offers virtual visitors audio files, videos,
high-resolution photos and
other ways to find information
about the Statehouse, which
opened in 1861, and Ohio history. You can even plan a
Statehouse wedding through
the Web site.
“We hope to inspire the
next generation of Ohioans to
become tomorrow’s leaders,”
said former state Sen. Richard
Finan, who chairs the Capital
Square Review and Advisory
Board and oversaw the Statehouse’s $121 million renovation completed in 1996.
Many statehouses, including New York and Ohio, offer
wireless services and most
states offer virtual tours, which
carry visitors through every
room.
Others are following the
lure of the shopping mall to
introduce themselves to new
customers.

New Ohio loan program helps middle-class homeowners
COLUMBUS (AP) — With
her successful home day-care
business buoying her optimism, Shannon Carr signed
off on her mortgage and
moved into a bigger house in a
nicer neighborhood.
“All I saw was that I was
approved and I was going to
get a house,” said Carr, whose
business soon faltered after the
move because her Cincinnati
neighborhood was already saturated with day-care options.
She was forced to start up a
new business in the janitorial
field.
It was then she found out
her
mortgage
had
an
adjustable rate that was ticking
upward while her finances
were headed south.
Carr nearly lost her home,
but was able to keep it with
the help of a new loan program in Ohio that targets middle-class homeowners strug-
gling to stay in their homes in
a market that has drastically
shifted.
Through the Home Ownership Center of Greater Cincinnati, Carr received a few thousand dollars she used to reach
a settlement with her bank and

Jimmy Carter confronts Sudanese security in
OBITUARIES
Cheryl E. Smith
Darfur over meeting with refugees from conflict
Cheryl E. Smith, 48, of Bellefontaine, died Friday, Sept. 28,
KABKABIYA, Sudan (AP)
— Former President Jimmy
Carter confronted Sudanese
security services on a visit to
Darfur Wednesday, shouting
“You don’t have the power to
stop me!” at some who
blocked him from meeting
refugees of the conflict.
The 83-year-old Carter, in
Darfur as part of a delegation
of respected international figures known as “The Elders,”
wanted to visit a refugee camp.
But the U.N. mission in Sudan
deemed that too dangerous.
Instead, Carter agreed to fly
to the World Food Program
compound in the North Darfur
town of Kabkabiya, where he
was supposed to meet with
ethnic African refugees, many
of whom were chased from
their homes by militias and the
Arab-dominated government’s
forces.
But none of the refugees
showed up and Carter decided
to walk into the town — a
volatile stronghold of the progovernment janjaweed militia
— to meet refugees too frightened to attend the meeting at
the compound.
He was able to make it to a
school where he met with one
tribal representative and was
preparing to go further into
town when Sudanese security
officers stopped him.
“You can’t go,” the local
chief of the feared Sudanese
secret police, who only gave
his first name as Omar,
ordered Carter. “It’s not on the
program!”
“We’re going to anyway!”
an angry Carter retorted as a
small crowd began to gather
around. “You don’t have the
power to stop me.”
However, U.N. officials
told Carter’s entourage the
powerful Sudanese state police
could bar his way.
“We’ve got to move, or
someone is going to get shot,”
warned one of the U.N. staff
accompanying the delegation.
Carter’s traveling companions, billionaire businessman
Richard Branson and Graca
Machel, the wife of former
South African President Nelson Mandela, tried to ease his
frustration and his Secret Service detail urged him to get
into a car and leave.
“I’ll tell President Bashir
about this,” Carter said, referring to Sudanese President
Omar al-Bashir.
Omar, the security chief,
said Carter had already
breached security once by
walking to the school and
would not be allowed to
breach it again.
“We are in the security
field. We’re not that flexible,”
he said after the confrontation
ended.
In an interview with The
Associated Press later in the
day, Carter played down the
encounter, saying the security
chief was only doing his job.
“But it’s true that I’m not
accustomed to people telling
me I can’t walk down the
street and meet people,” he
told the AP after returning to a
United Nations compound in
El Fasher, the capital of North
Darfur state.
Branson said some refugees
had slipped notes in his pockets.
“We (are) still suffering
from the war as our girls are
being raped on a daily basis,”
read one of the notes, translated from Arabic, that Branson
handed to the AP.
Photos and videos give inquest jury a
picture of Princess Diana’s last hours
By ROBERT BARR
Associated Press Writer
LONDON — A photograph
captures the scene inside the
car minutes before the crash
that killed Princess Diana. The
driver has a glazed look as a
body guard tries to wave away
pursuing paparazzi. Diana’s
head is turned away, toward
the back windshield.
This and other fleeting
images are giving a coroner’s
jury a picture of the last hours
of the princess and her
boyfriend Dodi Fayed —
hours filled with shopping for
a ring, vainly seeking privacy
and finally dying as they fled
from the paparazzi.
On Wednesday, inquest
jurors saw security camera
videos of the couple arriving at
the Ritz Hotel on Aug. 30,
1997. The images show Fayed
leaving for a short car ride
across the Place Vendome to
Repossi jewelers, then returning a short time later with a
brochure. Ritz executive
Claude Roulet is seen with
what was described as a bag of
rings from Repossi’s “dis moi
oui” (tell me yes) line.
Whether Diana and Fayed
planned to announce their
engagement the next day is
one of the questions before the
jury, as is the claim that she
was pregnant with Fayed’s
child. Both claims are part of
Mohamed al Fayed’s insistence that the couple were the
victims of an Establishment
plot directed by Prince Philip,
the queen’s husband.
Shots of two people standing in an elevator may tell you
nothing about how they came
to die in a car crash hours later.
But the images of photographers swarming around their
car during the day help explain
the apparently hasty change of
plans that led the couple to flee
from the rear entrance of the
hotel shortly after midnight.
The videos shown to the
jury were taken from 31 of the
43 security cameras at the Ritz,
said Inspector Paul Carpenter,
who was part of Metropolitan
Police investigative team headed by former chief John
Stevens. That team laid the
blame for the crash on driver
Henri Paul, concluding that he
was far over the legal limit for
alcohol and driving too fast.
Paul also died in the crash.
Many of the images are
fuzzy. Diana, one of the
world’s most photographed
women, isn’t always instantly
recognizable.
Two photos shown to the
inquest on Tuesday, taken by
French photographer Jacques
Langevin, apparently are the
last taken of Diana before the
crash — though only her hair
is visible.
The time is 12:20 a.m. on
Aug. 31, 1997. About 10 minutes later the Mercedes had
slammed into a pillar in the
Pont d’Alma tunnel.
2 Koreas sign peace and economic
cooperation pact at second ever summit
SEOUL, South Korea (AP)
— The leaders of North and
South Korea pledged today to
seek a peace treaty to replace
the Korean War’s 1953 ceasefire and expand projects to
reduce tension across the
world’s last Cold War frontier.
The pact came a day after a
deal at China-hosted arms talks
among North Korea, the U.S.
and other regional powers, in
which Pyongyang promised to
disable its main nuclear facilities and fully declare its
nuclear programs by Dec. 31.
The move would be the
biggest step North Korea has
taken to scale back its nuclear
ambitions after decades of
seeking to develop the world’s
deadliest weapons. President
Bush hailed it as a key for
“peace and prosperity” in
northeast Asia.
The bilateral agreement
capped three days of meetings
in the North Korean capital,
Pyongyang, between North
Korean leader Kim Jong Il and
South Korean President Roh
Moo-hyun. They “agreed to
closely cooperate to end military hostility and ensure peace
and easing of tension on the
Korean peninsula,” according
to a joint statement.
Substantive progress on any
peace treaty would require the
participation of the U.S. and
China, which also fought in
the conflict. South Korea
never signed the 1953
armistice ending the war.
After signing the deal, Kim
and Roh shook hands and posed
for cameras. Roh then took
Kim’s right hand in his left and
raised both their arms in the air
like prizefighters before sharing
a champagne toast.
“The South and North
shared the view that they
should end the current
armistice regime and establish
a permanent peace regime,”
the pact said.
They also “agreed to cooperate to push for the issue of
declaring the end” of the Korean War by staging a meeting of
the “three or four heads of
related states.”
China, a key player in international efforts to dismantle
North Korea’s nuclear pro-
gram, said the landmark summit agreement would aid
regional peace and stability.
“China consistently supports efforts by the North and
South to improve bilateral
relations and realize reconciliation and cooperation through
dialogue,” said Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Jianchao
in a statement on the ministry’s official Web site.
Japanese Prime Minister
Yasuo Fukuda also welcomed
North Korea’s agreement to
disable its main nuclear complex by year’s end, but his
party said sanctions against
Pyongyang should continue
for at least another six months
because it has yet to meet its
commitments.
Polish envoy wounded in Baghdad ambush; Iraqi leader slams Blackwater
BAGHDAD (AP) — A daring ambush of bombs and gunfire left Poland’s ambassador
pinned down in a burning
vehicle Wednesday before
being pulled to safety and airlifted in a rescue mission by
the embattled security firm
Blackwater USA. At least
three people were killed,
including a Polish bodyguard.
The attack — apparently
well planned in one of Baghdad’s most secure neighborhoods — raised questions
about whether it sought to punish Poland for its contributions
to the U.S.-led military force in
Iraq. But Poland’s prime minister, Jaroslaw Kaczynski, said
his nation would not retreat “in
the face of terrorists.”
The diplomatic convoy was
hit by three bombs and then
attackers opened fire in the
Shiite-controlled Karradah
district. Polish guards returned
fire as the injured ambassador,
Gen. Edward Pietrzyk, was
pulled from his burning vehicle. At least 10 people, including four Polish security agents,
were wounded.
U.S. Embassy officials dispatched Blackwater helicopters to evacuate the ambassa-
LOGAN COUNTY BEAT
SHERIFF & HIGHWAY PATROL
Driver cited
Jarod M. Farley, no age listed, of 2519 County Road 12, was
cited for driving left of center by deputies of the Logan County
Sheriff’s Office after an accident at 9:01 a.m. Tuesday. He was
reportedly eastbound on State Route 47 east of County Road 9,
when he struck a vehicle operated by Beverly S. Woodrum, 68, of
485 E. Center St., West Mansfield.
Damage was moderate to both vehicles and no serious injuries
were reported.
Juvenile cited
Jessie L. Robinson, 17, of 222 Marshall St., Russells Point,
was cited for obstructing official business after deputies were
investigating another report Monday around 9 p.m.
Theft reported

dor and others. Blackwater
was not involved in protecting
the Polish convoy.
Pietrzyk, who was commander of ground forces in
Poland before taking the
ambassador post in April, suffered minor burns over 20 percent of his body, including his
head and right arm and leg,
said Polish Charge d’Affaires
Waldemar Figaj.
“They were waiting for us,”
Figaj told The Associated Press
as he gave details of the attack.
Shortly after the assault,
Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri alMaliki renewed his govern-
ment’s offensive against
Blackwater.
“There have been 190 victims of Blackwater ... The kind
of accusations leveled against
the company means it is not fit
to work in Iraq,” he told a
news conference.
It was not known if al-Maliki knew Blackwater rescued
the Polish envoy. It also was
not clear if the 190 victims
represented a new figure arising from an Iraqi investigation
or a reference to the 195 incidents involving the U.S. security company outlined in a
House report earlier this week.
UAW deal leaves future uncertain
DETROIT (AP) — The
United Auto Workers may
have won unprecedented job
security pledges from General Motors Corp. in its latest
tentative contract agreement,
but 15 factories across the
country — including two in
Ohio — could be on shaky
ground after the products
they now make go out of production in a few years,
according to details of the
agreement.
The factories, most of
which are engine and transmission or metal stamping
plants, either are listed as having nothing to make after their
current product’s life cycle
expires, or the next generation
of their main product is
“demand and business case
dependent,” according to a
UAW document called the
“white book” that spells out
details of the agreement. The
two Ohio plants are in Defiance and Parma.
At four of the factories, the
document says no future product has been identified for
them.
Most of the 15 plants will
see their current products go
out of production in 2011,
when the four-year contract
would expire.

Cargo plane crashes into part of
Congo’s capital; at least 5 killed
KINSHASA, Congo (AP)
— A cargo plane crashed in a
residential neighborhood near
the main airport in Congo’s
capital of Kinshasa today,
killing at least five people,
police said.
Several destroyed houses
near a market in Kinshasa’s
Kingasani neighborhood were
ablaze after the crash, and smoke
filled the sky, according to an
Associated Press reporter on the
scene. Local police commander
Alexis Dekikobo said he had
seen five bodies in the rubble —
four adults and one baby.
A Russian media report said
all aboard the An-26 were
killed, although it gave no
numbers.
The plane crashed into a
market area of the neighborhood around 10:30 a.m., said
airport officer Appo Ilunga.
A plane window and pieces
of charred metal were visible
as firefighters struggled to put
out the fire, and a crowd gathered around the site.
A witness reached by phone
said the area was full of smoke
and it was hard to tell if there
had been deaths or injuries.
The witness, Papy Kangufu,
said the market was full of people when the plane crashed.
Ilunga said the plane had
just taken off from the airport
en route to central Congo.
Kingasani is about three miles
from the Kinshasa airport.
Cargo planes in Congo are
frequently flown by experienced pilots from former Soviet states but the aircraft are
often old, ill-maintained and
overcrowded.
Russia’s ITAR-Tass news
agency reported that the plane,
which belonged to Congolese
carrier Africa 1, had a Russian
crew. “According to early reports,
all people on board were killed.
There are also casualties among
people at the market,” it said.

spending overall. The deficit,
as a share of the economy, they
say, is not a huge problem.
Bush and his allies drew the
line on the proposed SCHIP
expansion, saying it would
subsidize middle-income families that can afford private
insurance. “Poor kids first,”
Bush said after vetoing the
bill.
Bush’s decision baffles and
angers some Republican lawmakers who say the administration should have picked a
less sympathetic program for
an all-out fight with Democrats.
“He has been given advice
that this is socialized medicine. Hardly,” Sen. Orrin
Hatch, R-Utah, told reporters
Wednesday. “I hope the folks
at home raise Cain.”
Such positions are precisely
why so many voters have
grown disenchanted with the
Republican Party, a number of
Hatch’s colleagues say.
But Rep. Tom Feeney, RFla., said in an interview that
by aggressively defending and
explaining Bush’s veto, “there
is an opportunity in the next
few months for the Republicans to regain their brand.”
“We can’t win elections
nationally if more Americans
think Democrats are more fiscally responsible than Republicans,” said Feeney, a target of
Democratic radio ads attacking his support of the veto.
Polls show that voters see
Democrats as better custodians
of spending and fiscal affairs.
A recent ABC News-Washington Post poll found an overwhelming preference for
Democrats over Republicans
— by 52 percent to 29 percent
— when people were asked
which party they trusted to do
a better job handling the federal budget deficit.
A number of Republican
lawmakers say their party has
frittered away an important
element of its heritage and
appeal.

Uncle in Honolulu
Dear Honolulu: We understand your position, but perhaps
you could think of these invitations in a different light. Your
extended family is trying to stay
in touch and keep you informed
of family events. You are not
obligated to send a gift, but perhaps you can manage a card or
note with your best wishes.
Dear Annie: I, too, have a
husband who starts projects he
never finishes. I think a “Husband Swap” is in order. Not for
sex, just for household repairs.
My husband is more than
happy to work on someone
else’s home projects, but not
ours. A few weeks ago a coworker needed some help with
plumbing and moving his washer and dryer. As usual, my husband was eager to help and really enjoyed himself. When I suggested the “swap” to the coworker, he thought it was a great
idea. So how about it, ladies
(and gentlemen)? Get together
with some of your friends and
start a household projects co-op.
It works for baby-sitting, why

HISTORY TODAY
Today is Thursday, Oct. 4, the 277th
day of 2007. There are 88 days left in the
year.
Today’s Highlight in History:
Fifty years ago, on Oct. 4, 1957, the
Space Age began as the Soviet Union
launched Sputnik 1, the first artificial
satellite, into orbit.
On this date:
In 1777, George Washington’s
troops launched an assault on the British
at Germantown, Pa., resulting in heavy
American casualties.
In 1822, the 19th president of the
United States, Rutherford B. Hayes, was
born in Delaware, Ohio.
In 1940, Adolf Hitler and Benito
Mussolini conferred at Brenner Pass in
the Alps, where the Nazi leader sought
Italy’s help in fighting the British.
In 1957, Jimmy Hoffa was elected
president of the Teamsters Union.
In 1957, the situation comedy
“Leave It to Beaver” premiered on CBSTV.
In 1965, Pope Paul VI became the
first pope to visit the Western Hemisphere as he addressed the U.N. General
Assembly.
In 1970, rock singer Janis Joplin, 27,
was found dead in her Hollywood hotel
room.
In 1976, Agriculture Secretary Earl
Butz resigned in the wake of a controversy over a joke he’d made about
blacks.
In 1978, a funeral mass was held at
the Vatican for Pope John Paul I.
In 1980, some 520 people were
forced to abandon the cruise ship Prinsendam in the Gulf of Alaska after the
Dutch luxury liner caught fire; no deaths
or serious injury resulted.
Ten years ago: Hundreds of thousands of men attended a Promise Keepers rally on the mall in Washington, D.C.
Five years ago: John Walker Lindh,
the so-called “American Taliban,”
received a 20-year sentence after a sobbing, halting plea for forgiveness before
a federal judge in Alexandria, Va. In a
federal court in Boston, Richard Reid
pleaded guilty with a laugh to trying to
blow up a trans-Atlantic flight with
explosives hidden in his shoes as he
declared his hatred for America and his
loyalty to Osama bin Laden.
One year ago: Ousted HewlettPackard Chairwoman Patricia Dunn, a
company officer and three investigators
were charged with violating California
privacy laws in a corporate spying scandal. (The charges were later dropped,
with a judge calling their conduct a
“betrayal of trust and honor” that
nonetheless did not rise to the level of
criminal activity.) American Roger D.
Kornberg won the Nobel Prize in chemistry. New York Times correspondent
R.W. Apple Jr. died in Washington at age
71.

TOMORROW’S HOROSCOPES
CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS
DAY: Kate Winslet, 32; Mario Lemieux,
42; Guy Pearce, 40; Bernie Mac, 50
Happy Birthday: Live a little, laugh
a little but, most of all, don’t take things
too seriously. Pick and choose your battles. Keep things in perspective so you
don’t lose sight of your goals and values.
This will be a year of temptation as well
as great possibilities. The final outcome
will be based on how you handle yourself along the way. Your numbers are 11,
14, 26, 27, 30, 44
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Your
outgoing personality can bring you all
sorts of perks but, if you are too flirtatious or don’t pay enough attention to
the people in your life who care, you can
expect an argument. Play hard, work
hard and be fair. 5 stars
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Love
is in the stars and a serious relationship
can be discussed. Deal with personal
decisions, take care of your needs and
those of the ones you love and take an
aggressive position regarding a partnership. 2 stars
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Make
creative changes at home. If that means
moving or renovating, get started. You
will connect with someone who will get
your blood rushing and your heart beating. Someone from your past will make
a difference. 4 stars
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t
believe everything you hear. Find out
firsthand before you join in or make a
statement. A desire to make a vocational
change will overpower you, bringing
about action instead of just contemplation. 3 stars
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t let
your emotions get you into trouble. You
may have something to say but, if it will
be hurtful or put you in a precarious
position, remain quiet. Your time will be
better spent finishing what you start and
finding ways to obtain or make money.
3 stars
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Stabilize your position but don’t reveal personal information. You can make some
changes at home but don’t let someone
else cost you too much in the process.
By taking control, you will get what you
want, when you want it. 3 stars
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You are
sitting in a better position than you realize. Take every opportunity to talk about
your goals, ideas and intentions. You
will drum up business, help or whatever
else you need if you talk freely. 4 stars
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): If you
let your emotions get the better of you,
an argument will break out. A serious
look at an idea, product or venture can
generate extra cash. An original service
will be well-received by an industry
with which you are familiar. 2 stars
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):
Stick to your original story and avoid
being questioned. Exaggeration will be
your demise. A change in your personal
status or the way your friends, neighbors
or relatives view you is likely. 5 stars
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):
Focus on work, finishing what you
began and closing deals that can bring
you greater financial stability. You will
be up for a good time if you plan an
evening out with someone you admire.
A little extra pampering will boost your
confidence. 3 stars
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):
You’ll be pulled in different directions
emotionally. Try to be true to what
you want and need so you can live
with the decisions you make today. A
chance meeting with someone from
your past will be an eye-opener. 3
stars
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Take a
serious look at an old idea. You may be
able to flush out what caused something
not to work the first time around. Once
you have a better handle on what you
need to do, it will be easy to proceed.
Money can be made and deals struck. 3
stars
Birthday Baby: You are unique,
ingenious and thoughtful. You are fair,
passionate, playful and someone who
can make a difference.

burns when it reaches the
platinum of the catalytic
converter.
However, the converter’s
platinum burns this fuel
outside of the engine, where
the heat and energy produced
from this fuel cannot give
you more miles per gallon.
But when the air and fuel
carry the platinum into the
engine, 22% more of each
gallon burns inside the
engine so that 22% fewer
gallons are required to
drive the same distance.
After a five year study,
the government concluded:
“Independent testing shows
greater fuel savings with the
Gas Saver than the 22%
claimed by the developer.”
In addition, the Gas Saver
has received patents for
cleaning out carbon and
raising octane, making the
higher cost fuel unnecessary
for most vehicles.
Joe Robinson, the developer,
commented: “Since the
government concluded its
study, we have sold a half
million Gas Savers. To our
surprise, more people buy
the Gas Saver because it
extends engine life by
cleaning out the carbon than
buy it to increase gas mileage
or to raise octane.”

owner and operator of Van Horn Funeral Homes in Lakeview and Jackson
Center. A professional who served with dignity and distinction for more than 50
years, he will be recognized at the new Sanford-Eichholtz Funeral Home in
Lakeview with the dedication of the chapel to be named in his honor. Pictured
below are Bud Eichholtz, Dennis Sanford, Karla Haas, Trey Daring and Jeff Smith,

FROM THE AUDITOR
Open government update
By MARY TAYLOR
A
s a public servant and a certified public
accountant by trade, I am sensitive to the
public’s desire for full disclosure and I often
hear comments about the need for a transparent
government when visiting with people throughout
the state. When elected officials operate behind
closed doors it shatters the trust of citizens in the
community.
Currently, there are laws to protect your rights to
gain information about government’s meetings,
decisions and records. These laws are called
sunshine laws and exist so that citizens are able to
serve as watchdogs over their government.
One of my duties as the Auditor of State is to
ensure that Ohio’s governments are following the
correct public records and document retention
policies so that you have proper access to
information about the day to day activity of state and
local government.
I take my responsibilities very seriously and have
specific staff devoted to public records. Our Open
Government Unit is dedicated to guiding, informing
and training public officials and citizens about the
state’s sunshine laws.
Our office, in conjunction with the Ohio Attorney
General, is currently in the process of finalizing the
production of the Open Government Manual. The
manual is updated yearly and is available to all
Ohioans as a comprehensive guide to public records
laws.
Artists Views
The most recent copy will be ready for
distribution in the coming weeks. Hard copy
versions and electronic versions may be obtained at
our website, www.auditor.state.oh.us, or by phone,
(800) 282-0370.
This year’s manual contains many updates to
Ohio’s public records law, several of which were
added because of House Bill 9. This bill clarifies
government records requirements for public officials
and provides more information to citizens about
obtaining public records. H.B. 9 was enacted by the
Ohio legislature last year and took effect on Sept.
29.
There are two areas of H.B. 9 that will be
particularly helpful to Ohio citizens. First, each
public office is required to post their public records
policy in a prominent location. This will provide you
with additional information about how and where to
make a records request and how the office will
respond. Second, if the public office does not
provide all of the records requested when responding
to a public records request, it must provide an
explanation why the request has been denied and
include the supporting legal authority. This will
ensure that you have the legal reason the documents
were denied so that you can decide what action is
now necessary to obtain the information you want.
As a public records resource for the state, our
office plays a role in informing officials of the
many changes made by H.B. 9. One of the major
requirements of this legislation is that all elected
officials must now attend a three hour training
session. The training must be attended by an
official, or an individual they designate to attend,
during each term in office. Furthermore, in the
course of a government entity’s regularly scheduled
financial audit, our auditors will check their records
for proof of training. In the future, once our
certification is complete, our office plans to
conduct training that will qualify under this
legislation.
Additionally, the bill requires that our office
continue to play a role in local government
document retention. The legislation states that a
records commission be created in each county,
school district, library, special taxing district and
township. The commission will be required to create
rules for document destruction. All requests for
document destruction will be sent first to the Ohio
Historical Society and then to the Auditor of State
for approval or disapproval. Once approved, the
Historical Society will collect all documents of
historic significance and the remaining records will
be destroyed.
Please note that H.B. 9 made many additional
changes and clarifications to Ohio public records
laws. Our office, working with the Ohio Attorney
General, has included all aspects of the bill in the
upcoming Open Government Manual. We are happy
to answer any questions you may have about the bill
or any other public records questions.

Bullies, technology and bullets
By TOM PURCELL
B
ullying isn’t like it used to be.
Contemporary bullies are also using
technology. They’re making nasty cell-phone
calls, sending e-mails and text messages and posting
embarrassing things on the Internet.
The anonymous cowards.
When I was a kid in the ’70s, at least bullies had
to put some effort into their work. They were still
cowards — they picked on kids who were small and
defenseless — but they had to do most of their work
face to face.
It’s not possible to give a wedgie over the
Internet.
That made the bullies vulnerable. There were lots
of older kids in our neighborhood who protected us.

“Nothing is stronger than public opinion; given the facts, nothing is wiser.”
Written prior, 1931,
by Kin Hubbard, a world-famous
newspaper humorist and father of
late T.E. Hubbard,
former owner/publisher
A bully who roughed us up was likely to get
roughed up himself. And bullies feared nobody as
they did my sister Kris.
I’m certain one guy still regrets the day he
decided to bust up my go-kart. He was a big, fat kid
and he laughed and taunted me as he kicked my
handcrafted vehicle into pieces — until Kris
appeared out of nowhere.
She tackled him from behind and down he went.
As he lay on his belly, Kris clenched her fists and
pounded with abandon. He blubbered like a baby,
forever humiliated in front of the other
neighborhood kids. Bullies are generally not as
tough as they appear to be.
But now, thanks to technology, anybody can
bully.
“Traditional bullying was about boys intimidating
other boys by physical force,” says Carleton
Kendrick, a family therapist and author of Take Out
Your Nose Ring, Honey, We’re Going to Grandma’s.
“But technology has enabled people to bully who
otherwise might not have before. One of the biggest
trends is a significant increase in bullying by girls.”
At the same time the opportunities to bully have
increased, the kids who are bullied are more
isolated. Families are smaller, neighborhoods are
emptier and latchkey kids often find themselves
alone.
A lot of kids aren’t handling the trend well.
“According to various studies, one in three kids is
either bullied or a bully,” says Kendrick. “And on
any given day 160,000 kids are so traumatized by
fear and intimidation they’re afraid to go to school.”
Or worse. A common thread in school shootings
during the past decade — both in high school and
college — is that the shooter or shooters had been
bullied.
So what to do? There are no easy answers.
When I was a kid, the prevailing wisdom was to
teach kids to fight back. If a bigger kid bullied you,
your dad showed you techniques on how to handle
him. Even if you lost the fight, the bully generally
would earn a respect for you and back down.
But in these nutty times, that might not work. The
bully could be packing heat. Or, if a bully is
humiliated by the kid he was bullying, the bully’s
parent might have his lawyer sue.
It’s no wonder numerous government and private
organizations are promoting anti-bullying
campaigns. It’s no wonder 27 states have passed
anti-bullying laws and nine more are considering
them. Or that school districts across America are
implementing anti-bullying measures to defuse
situations before they get out of hand.
Nobody knows who or when the next teen
powder keg will be set off, but we do know that
bullying may be an ingredient that sets the kid off.
In our rapidly changing culture, something that used
to be dealt with by kids on playgrounds has
blossomed into a problem with all kinds of
disastrous consequences.
Though even when I was a kid the consequences
were sometimes disastrous.
In 1972, a great tragedy shocked our community.
A kid who’d been bullied cracked. When the bully
showed up at his house one afternoon, the kid
opened his bedroom window and shot and killed him
with a .22-caliber rifle.
“That’s the difference,” says Kendrick. “The
landscape has changed so radically that if such a
thing happened today, nobody would be that
surprised.”

San Diego landslide destroys 2 homes, damages several others and leaves a major street closed
By ALLISON HOFFMAN
Associated Press Writer
SAN DIEGO — Holli Weld
was taking one of her sons to
preschool when the street gave
way under their feet.
“It was sinking as I was
walking by,” she said. “The
street was sinking before our
eyes.”
She was witnessing a landslide that collapsed a swath of
ground in one of the city’s
swankiest
neighborhoods,
destroying two homes,
damaging several others and leaving a
major street closed.
No one was hurt in
Wednesday’s slide, but
more than 100 homes in
the hilltop La Jolla
neighborhood of San
Diego were evacuated
as authorities braced for
further earth movement.
The landslide cut a 50-yardlong chasm in a four-lane
street and left a 20-foot-deep
ravine
overlooking
Interstate 5 hundreds of
feet below.
City officials just
one day earlier had
warned residents of
four homes not to sleep
in them because the
land might give way. It
wasn’t clear if those
residents heeded the
warnings.

By MARYCLAIRE DALE
Associated Press Writer
PHILADELPHIA — WalMart workers in Pennsylvania
who previously won a $78.5
million class-action award for
working off the clock will
share an additional $62.3 million in damages, a judge ruled
Wednesday.
About 125,000 people will
receive $500 each in damages
under a state law invoked
when a company, without
cause, withholds pay for more
than 30 days.
A Philadelphia jury last year
awarded the workers the exact
amount they had sought,
rejecting Wal-Mart’s claim that
some people chose to work
through breaks or that a few
minutes of extra work here and
there was insignificant.
“Just as highly paid executives’ promised equity interests
or put options or percentage of
sale proceeds are protected
fringe benefits and wage supplements, so too the monetary
equivalents of ’paid break’
time cashiers and other
employees were prohibited
from taking are protected
fringe benefits and wage supplements,” Philadelphia Common Pleas Judge Mark Bernstein wrote.
Similar suits charging that
Wal-Mart violated state wage
laws are in play across the
country.
A California trial ended
with a $172 million verdict
that Wal-Mart is appealing
while the Bentonville, Ark.based company settled a Colorado suit for $50 million.
A trial opened last week in
Minnesota while suits are
pending in New Jersey and
several other states.
The Pennsylvania classaction suit involves 187,000
current and former employees
who worked at Wal-Mart and
Sam’s Clubs from March 1998
through May 2006. The initial
$78.5 million award represented the wages lost by those
workers.
A smaller number qualified
for the damage award Wednesday. The others were excluded
by legal time limits and are
seeking interest on the back
wages.
“The law in its majesty
applies equally to highly paid
executives and minimum wage
clerks,” Bernstein wrote.
Plaintiffs’ lawyer Michael
Donovan credited Bernstein
for recognizing in Wednesday’s ruling “that ordinary
workers are entitled to the
same protection under the law
as executives.”
His clients have not yet
received any money and likely
won’t for some time if the company appeals. The payments
for lost wages are expected to
range from about $50 to a few
thousand dollars, depending on
employment history.

Former boss testifies white
hunter on trial for murder
‘hated’ Hmong immigrants
By ROBERT IMRIE
Associated Press Writer
MARINETTE, Wis. — Two
months before a Hmong immigrant was killed while hunting,
the white man on trial for the
crime told his boss he “hated”
Hmong and wished to do one in,
the boss testified Wednesday.
James Nichols, 29, is accused
of shooting and stabbing Cha
Vang, 30, after the two got into a
dispute while hunting separately
for squirrels Jan. 5 in the Peshtigo Wildlife Area.
Vang’s death rekindled racial
tensions in northern Wisconsin,
where a Hmong deer hunter
fatally shot six white hunters
three years ago.
John Spaulding, owner of JS
Forest Products, said Nichols
worked at the sawmill during the
fall of 2006. Nichols, who no
longer works there, talked about
seeing a Hmong man — not
Vang — during a weekend trip
to far northern Wisconsin.
Nichols said “he wished he
would have killed him. I ask him
why and he said he hated those
little (expletive),”’ Spaulding
testified.
Several hundred thousand
Hmong fled Laos for the United
States after the communists
seized control in 1975, many settling in Minnesota and Wisconsin.
Nichols has claimed he
argued in the woods with Vang, a
father of five, but Vang’s teacher
testified he spoke very limited
English.
“I don’t think he would be
able to communicate,” said Hun
Chan Ho, who taught Vang English at Northeast Wisconsin
Technical College.

SALT LAKE CITY — The world, it
seems, was its salad bar.
Scientists are amazed at the chomping ability of a newly described duckbilled dinosaur. The herbivore’s powerful jaw, more than 800 teeth and compact skull meant that no leaf, branch or
bush would have been safe, they say.
“It really is like the Arnold
Schwarzenegger of dinosaurs — it’s all
pumped up,” said Scott Sampson, curator of the Utah Museum of Natural History.
The newly named Gryposaurus monumentensis, or hook-beaked lizard from
the monument, was discovered near the
Arizona line in the Grand StaircaseEscalante National Monument in 2002
by a volunteer at the site. Details about
the 75-million-year-old dinosaur,
including its name, were published in
the Oct. 3 edition of Zoological Journal
of the Linnean Society.
Duck-billed dinosaurs were previously known to have been among the most
imposing herbivores, with hundreds of
teeth and a body that could knock down
trees.
Gryposaurus monumentensis, at least
30 feet long and 10 feet tall with a robust
jaw and thick bones, was like a duckbilled dinosaur on steroids, said paleontologist Terry Gates.
“It’s basically the Cretaceous version
of a weed-whacker,” he said. “You have
a very formidable herbivore.”
Although
paleontologists
said
Wednesday that the dinosaur could eat
just about any plant it wanted, scientists
still aren’t sure what it dined on.
Southern Utah is now a rocky desert
with few trees, but 75 million years ago
it was a dinosaur haven that looked
something like Louisiana today, Gates
said.
“It’s very humid and wet, with lots of
ponds and lots of rivers and creeks flowing through it. It was very lush,” he said.
The discovery of new species, including Gryposaurus monumentensis, will
help scientists understand more about
what the earth was like millions of years
ago, he said.
Sampson said fossils of duck-billed
dinosaurs once lived throughout the
northwestern part of North America.
The newly discovered version has a
smaller skull that allowed it to apply
more force to what it was eating.

Bellefontaine looks to get back on
winning track against Kenton Ridge
By MATT HAMMOND
Bellefontaine Examiner
Sports Editor
Kenton Ridge has been one
of the surprise teams in the Central Buckeye Conference this
season. Bellefontaine is hoping
to bring the Cougars back down
to earth.
The Chiefs travel to Kenton
Ridge on Friday for a CBC Kenton Trail division football
matchup between a pair of
teams with 5-1 records.
Bellefontaine is looking to
bounce back from its first loss
of the season last Friday against
Tippecanoe.
For Kenton Ridge, it is
another chance to open eyes
around the area and league.
“Kenton Ridge is big and
strong,” said Bellefontaine
head coach Jason Brown.
“They run the ball well and
throw the deep ball very well
on offense. Defensively, they
have been playing physical
football.”
The Cougars feature the most
balanced offense the Chiefs
have faced this season. Kenton
Ridge has amassed 855 yards on
the ground and 752 through the
air.
Kenton Ridge’s top threat on
the ground is freshman tailback
Kevin Johnson (5-9, 144). Johnson has rushed for 589 yards
and five touchdowns on 100
carries.
“They have a pretty nifty
tailback,” said Brown. “He is
athletic and fast.”
Sophomore Ethan Sharpin is
a first-year starter at quarterback
for the Cougars. Sharpin is 38 of
83 for 752 passing yards and
eight touchdowns.
Sharpin’s favorite target is
junior Jeremy Stollings, who
has caught 14 passes for 374
yards and five touchdowns.
“We need to stop their running game,” said Brown. “We
have to force them into second
and third and long situations.”
The Cougars are coming off
a 40-16 win over Springfield
Shawnee. Kenton Ridge trailed
8-7 at halftime, but outscored
Shawnee 33-8 in the second
half.

to Tippecanoe.
“When you look back at that
game, we won the second half,”
said Brown. “That is what we

Raiders pile up the
shots, but fall to Falcons
By THE BELLEFONTAINE
EXAMINER STAFF
Benjamin Logan’s boys
soccer team was poised to
wrap up a Central Buckeye
Conference Mad River division title Wednesday
at home against Graham, but the Falcons
refused to cooperate.
Graham scored a
pair of goals in the
first half and added another
goal in the second half en
route to a 3-0 win over the
Raiders.
The Raiders fall to 7-5-1
overall and 5-4-1 in league
play, while the Falcons
improve to 5-6-2, 3-4-2.
Ben Logan outshot the Falcons 20-9 on the night.
“This was obviously not the
result we were expecting,”
said Ben Logan coach Jamie
Hughes. “I thought we dominated much of the play, but to
win you have to score goals
and keep them out. We were
just not able to find the back of
the net and we gave them a
couple of golden opportunities
and they capitalized. But that
is the game of soccer sometimes.”
Although
the
Raiders were not able
to celebrate a league
crown Wednesday,
Hughes said his team
is still in a prime position.
“It was disappointing
because we wanted to clinch a
league title on our home field,”
said Hughes. “But we have
had a successful season thus
far in which we had built a
game and a half lead, and
regardless of this loss we still
just need a win in our last
game at Indian Lake to win
our division. Nothing great is
ever accomplished without
overcoming adversity. We
know Indian Lake will be a
tough Logan County rivalry

Chieftain boys finish eighth
at sectional golf tournament
By THE BELLEFONTAINE
EXAMINER STAFF
Bellefontaine’s boys golf team finished
eighth out of 15 squads in the Division I
sectional tournament Wednesday at Reid
Park in Springfield.
Bellefontaine shot 355 as a team.
The Chiefs were led by Cody Mehl, who
shot an 83. Mehl tied for the final individual qualifying spot for the district tournament. He was eventually defeated in a playoff for the district berth.
Also for the Bellefontaine, Matt Morris shot 88, Andy Garlock had 90 and
Rob Comer and Chris Versele each had
94s.
“The course was difficult as always for
the sectional,” said Bellefontaine head
coach Ryan Sawmiller. “The pins were
tucked in the toughest locations.”
Wednesday’s tournament wrapped up
the careers of six Chieftain seniors.
“I wish the seniors the best of luck and
know that their talents and hard work will
pay off for them in life,” added Sawmiller.
“Luckily, golf is a sport you have for life. I
know these young men will continue to
play and grow in this sport.”
Sidney won the sectional with a 330,
while Wilmington was second with 335.
Bellbrook and Tecumseh each finished with
339, but Bellbrook was awarded third place
on a tiebreaker.
The four individual district berths went
to Piqua’s Ben Glover (78), Carroll’s Chris
Hahn (81), Troy’s Eric Enz (82) and
Beavercreek’s Brandon Beers (83).
West Liberty-Salem’s football stadium will be the place
to be Friday night as it will be
the site of a showdown
between two undefeated, stateranked Ohio Heritage Conference powers.
The Tigers host Springfield
Catholic Central in a game that
carries huge implications. Both
squads are 6-0 overall and 3-0 in
the OHC. The lead in the league
title race, important computer
points and an undefeated season
hang in the balance.
“There is no question the
kids know this is a big game,”
said WL-Salem head coach
Toby Smith. “But they also
know there are still three more
games left to prepare for. It is
the biggest game for us
because it is the game we are
playing this week.”
SCC is ranked second in the
latest Division VI state poll,
while WL-Salem is 14th in the
Division V poll.
The Irish and Tigers rank as
the top two offensive teams in
the Springfield area. The Irish
have amassed 2,235 yards of
total offense and have
outscored opponents 271-20,
while the Tigers have racked
up 2,185 yards and 245 points.
“We have to limit the big
plays they make,” said Smith.
“And they are going to get a
few because they are a very
talented football team.

Ortiz, Beckett power Boston past Anaheim
From AP REPORTS
BOSTON — Josh Beckett
pitched his second consecutive
postseason shutout and,
backed by a home run from
David Ortiz, led the Red Sox
over the Angels 4-0 in their AL
playoff opener.
Beckett retired 19 consecutive batters after a leadoff single, allowed just four hits and
ran his postseason scoreless
streak to 18 innings. The last
time he pitched on such a
stage, he blanked the New
York Yankees to clinch the ’03
Series for Florida.
The last pitcher with consecutive postseason shutouts
was current teammate Curt
Schilling, who threw one for
the Phillies in 1993 and Arizona in 2001. Christy Mathewson is the only pitcher
with
four
postseason
shutouts; Beckett tied Whitey
Ford and Mordecai Brown
with three.
Ortiz, who eliminated the
Angels with a 10th-inning,
series-ending homer in the
first round of the 2004 playoffs, homered off John Lackey. Kevin Youkilis set the
tone with a homer in the first
inning against the Angels
ace.
The victory was Boston’s
seventh straight in the postseason over the California-Anaheim-Los Angeles Angels,
having come back from a 3-1
deficit to win in the 1986 AL
playoffs and then sweeping
them in the 2005 best-of-five
first round.
Lackey allowed four runs,
nine hits and two walks, striking out four in six innings.
Game 2 will be Friday, with
rookie Daisuke Matsuzaka
facing the Angels’ Kelvim
Escobar.
Rockies 4, Phillies 2
PHILADELPHIA — Jeff
Francis held the league’s highest-scoring team in check, and
the Colorado Rockies took
advantage of one shaky inning
by Cole Hamels to beat the
Philadelphia Phillies 4-2 in

Making just the second
postseason appearance in the

Rockies posted only their second postseason victory, the

ERA against the Phils this season, pitched six effective
innings and stayed out of big
trouble. He helped to hold the
Phillies’ top trio of Chase
Utley, Ryan Howard and
Jimmy Rollins to 0-for-11 with
eight strikeouts.
Diamondbacks 3, Cubs 1
PHOENIX — Brandon
Webb shut down the Chicago
Cubs with his superb sinker,
and the Arizona Diamondbacks got home runs from two
of their kids in a victory in
their NL playoff opener.
Stephen Drew homered in
the fourth off Chicago ace
Carlos Zambrano, who was
pulled after six innings and
only 85 pitches.
Right after he left, Mark
Reynolds homered on the
fourth pitch from reliever Carlos Marmol to break a 1-all tie
in the seventh. Pinch-hitter
Conor Jackson added a sacrifice fly, and the Diamondbacks
got two scoreless innings from
their strong bullpen.
Red Devils down Chieftains in CBC volleyball action

Visiting Tippecanoe defeated Bellefontaine 25-18, 25-27,
25-12, 25-12 in a Central
Buckeye Conference Kenton

Wednesday.
The Chiefs are now 13-7
overall on the season.

“To get that made me feel
like I’ve really reached my
goal,” said Boyd. “It feels good
because it’s not just any Division I school, but one of the best.
I want to be a multiple time
national placer and I hope to win
the national title at least once.”
Boyd is a complete wrestler
with a talent for pinning a
majority of the opposition. He
pinned his opponent in the
state finals last March. He
feels he can bring a lot to the
Wolverines.
“I think I bring not only my
pinning abilities, but the ability
to bring big points for the team
in big matches. I’ve never lost
a dual match in high school,
including those against (Lakewood) St. Eds. I’m calm under
pressure in big matches.”
Michigan’s academics also
caught Boyd’s eye and helped
persuade him.
“I like how they help the
athletes with academics,” said
Boyd. “There is an academic
center connected to the
wrestling building that is just
for athletes.”
and was 16-17 serving and
Emily Melling was 12-13
serving with two aces to spark
the Chiefs.
Also contributing for Bellefontaine were Kelanie Garman
(10 kills, 19 digs, 10-11 serves
received), Courtney Smith (37
assists on 140-140 setting, 11
serving, 17 digs), Addy Passaro (14 kills, five digs),
Tiffany LeVan (16 digs, 17-18
serves received), Rachel Rapp
(16-16 serving, two aces, nine
digs, six kills) and Kylee
Moon (eight kills).
In the reserve match, Tipp
City won in two games.
Chieftain girls tennis team closes out
season at sectional tournament
Bellefontaine’s girls tennis
team concluded its season
Wednesday by participating in
the sectional tournament at Troy.
The Chiefs won a pair of
matches, but were unable to
advance a player to the district
tourney.
Sarah Hess won a singles
match for the Chiefs as she
knocked off Urbana’s Elyssa
Steffenson 6-1, 6-7, 6-3.
In the second round, Hess
was defeated by Kenton
Ridge’s Allison Weeks 6-1, 6-1.
“The kids played pretty
well,” said Bellefontaine head
coach Jim Stein. “I was really
pleased with our singles players. We had some younger
girls at those spots and they
did a nice job.”
Bellefontaine’s Susan Scott
fell to Tippecanoe’s Jenny
Bashore 6-3, 7-6 and the
Chiefs’ Audrey Fromm lost to
Sidney Lehman’s Hannah
Pruitt 4-6, 6-1, 6-2.
In doubles play, the Chiefs’
Marissa Dinovo and Julie Smith
opened the day with a 6-0, 6-1
win over Milton-Union’s Lindsey Brumbaugh and Megan Coffee. The Bellefontaine duo was
then defeated by fourth-seeded
Andrea Bennett and Amanda
Fulk of Kenton Ridge 6-4, 6-1.
Bellefontaine’s other doubles squad, Amy Casady and
Kelsey George, fell to
Lehman’s Rachael Peck and
Ciarra Sargeant 6-1, 6-4.
in a Central Buckeye Conference matchup.
Wilcoxon scored three
goals on the night for the
Chiefs.
Bellefontaine trailed 2-1 at
halftime, but Wilcoxon
scored two goals, including
the game-winner with 12
minutes left in the game on a
penalty kick, in the second
half to put the Chiefs ahead
for good.
The junior varsity squad
tied Tecumseh 3-3. Libby Hill,
Jessica Morris and Tyleigh
Ward scored for BHS.
The Chiefs travel to Steb-
bins on Saturday for a CBC
matchup.
Lakers fall to Greenon
Indian Lake fell to host
Greenon 2-0 Wednesday in a
Central Buckeye Conference
girls soccer matchup.
The loss drops the Lakers to 65-1 overall and 4-4-1 in the CBC.
“Unfortunately this game
will go down as a loss in the
record book,” said head coach
Scott Cramer. “But this game
was a victory for us as a team,
it proved to us that we are
capable of playing soccer
with one of the better teams in
the area.
fumble recoveries).
Smith feels the best way to
keep Catholic Central from
scoring is by not letting them
on the field at all. That starts
with the WL-Salem offense,
which is averaging 40 points
per game.
“Our offense is moving the
ball well,” said Smith. “So the
best thing we can do is to keep
moving the ball and putting
points on the board. We have to
keep their offense off the field.
“We want to come out and
get in the flow and see what
their defense is doing and see
what we can take advantage
of. We want to keep them off
balance offensively.”
Elsewhere around the area:
Urbana at Indian Lake
Indian Lake will be looking
to battle back from a one-point
loss last week when it hosts
Urbana on Friday in a Central
Buckeye Conference Mad
River division matchup.
The Hillclimbers (6-0, 1-0)
are ranked sixth in the latest
Division III state poll and have
plenty of weapons to test the
Lakers (2-4, 0-1).
Urbana’s offense is currently fourth in the Springfield
area with 1,866 yards. The
Hillclimbers’ primary weapon
is senior wide out/running
back Daniel Haddix (6-0,
188), who has produced 200
rushing yards for five scores
and 216 receiving yards.
Under center for the Hillclimbers is junior Nate
Reisinger (5-8, 187). He has
thrown for 641 yards and nine
scores. A majority of those
passing yards have gone to jun-
ior wide receiver Evan Crawley (5-5, 142), who has 456
yards and eight touchdowns.
The Hillclimbers’ defense
is impressive as well, ranked
second in the Springfield area.
It has given up just 29 points
all season.
Greenon at Ben Logan
The Benjamin Logan football team has plenty of
momentum heading into Friday’s meeting with visiting
Greenon in this Central Buckeye Conference Mad River
division meeting.
The Raiders (2-4, 1-0) are
coming off a 21-6 over Graham, while the Knights (4-2,
1-0) slipped past Indian Lake
28-27.
Ben Logan’s defense will
be tested by a Greenon team
that has plenty of ways to
score on offense. The Knights
are third in the Springfield
area with 1,840 yards of
offense. Spearheading the
offense is junior running back
Lance Steiner (5-9, 175), who
has rushed for 622 yards and
eight touchdowns.
Also leading the offense is
senior fullback Logan Dean
(6-3, 200), who has rushed for
429 yards and four scores.
Riverside at Marion
Catholic
Riverside’s
punishing
ground game is likely to put up
big numbers Friday when it
travels to Marion Catholic in a
Northwest Central Conference
meeting.
The Pirates (2-4, 1-2) had
nearly 450 rushing yards in a
61-8 win over Ridgemont. The

The Tiger defense is a stout
unit, as well, as that unit is
allowing only 9.2 ppg.
The WL-Salem defense
will see a major challenge
from Catholic Central’s do-itall senior running back Brian
Wagner.
When it comes to Wagner
only one question can be
asked: what hasn’t he done for
the Irish this fall?
Wagner has accounted for
nearly half of SCC’s total
offensive production and leads
the Springfield area in rushing
and scoring. He has rushed for
1,089 yards, averages 9.2
yards per carry and has 16
touchdowns and a total of 98
points so far this season.
“Their running back is very
good,” said Smith. “When we
get the chance to tackle him
we can’t miss. You’re not
going to stop him so we’re
going to have to try and slow
him down. We’ll have to wrap
up the best we can and gang
tackle.”
SCC can make plays
through the air, too. Junior
quarterback Branden Kelly, a
three-year starter, has thrown
for 624 yards and seven touchdowns. Kelly’s two main
receivers are seniors Matt
Shockey and Nick Massaro.
The duo have combined for
437 receiving yards and six
scores.
Big playmakers on defense
for the Irish include senior
defensive back Kyle DeWitt
(four interceptions) and sophomore Devon Halloran (four

Cavaliers’ Brown
involved in altercation
CLEVELAND (AP) —
Cavaliers guard Shannon
Brown said Wednesday he
was involved in an altercation
with security guards at a
downtown nightclub that
started after he was escorted
from the bar for wearing a hat.
“I was involved in a situation a couple of days ago
where I felt like I was assaulted,” Brown said at the team’s
training facility. “I had to file
charges. I’ve got my dad and a
couple more people working
with me on it.”
But no charges had been
filed related to the incident
early Sunday at Liquid Cafe in
the trendy Warehouse District,
said Victor Perez, the city’s
chief assistant prosecutor.
Prosecutors were still interviewing witnesses. Police Lt.
Thomas Stacho said no arrests
were made.

More women than ever enter U.S. military academy at West Point
By MICHAEL HILL
Associated Press Writer
WEST POINT, N.Y. —
Cadet Karyn Powell falls in
with the guys at midday formation. Same gray uniform. Same
straight-ahead stare. Same
dressing down from
the platoon sergeant
for the plebes’ imperfectly kept rooms —
except for the bit
about long hairs in the
sink.
“I understand your
guys hair falls off,” he
tells Powell and her
roommate. “Clean it
up.”
Powell is among
225 young women
who joined the Long Gray Line
this year for the Class of 2011.
That is the highest number of
female cadets in a single class
since women first came to the
U.S. Military Academy in 1976
and the highest proportion for
any class: 17 percent.
West Point administrators
are greeting this milestone with
little more than a shrug of their
epauletted shoulders. The
increase is slight, they say, and
women have lugged the same
heavy rucksacks as the men and
chowed down next to them at
West Point’s Harry PotterGothic mess hall for three
decades. Expectations are the
same for every cadet.
But in this history-drenched
institution on the
Hudson River that has
produced generals
such as Robert E. Lee,
Ulysses S. Grant,
Douglas MacArthur
and
Norman
Schwarzkopf, some
female cadets say they
still feel the need to
prove they measure
up.
“You don’t want to
give the reputation to
girls that ’Oh, she can’t do it
because she’s a girl.’ And you
don’t want to appear like you
get special treatment because
you’re a girl,” said Karina
Quezada, a 19-year-old plebe
from Las Vegas.
“And don’t whine!” added
Diane Leimbach, a plebe from
Quincy, Ill.
Quezada and Leimbach
roomed together this summer
for “beast barracks,” West
Point’s six-week shakedown of
in-your-face orders and long
marches for incoming cadets.
No leeway is given if you are,
like Quezada and Leimbach,
petite.
“I didn’t want to quit
because I didn’t want to be ’that
girl’ and I didn’t want to appear
weak in the eyes of my squad
leader, my squad mates,” Leimbach said.
“As a female, you have to
win the respect of the males
sometimes ... And I did.”
President Ford signed legislation in 1975 opening the
nation’s service academies to
women applicants, leading to
119 women studying at West
Point the next year. The proportion of women at the academy
hovered in the 10-12 percent
range until around 1989, when
it jumped to 14 to 16 percent,
where it has stayed since then,
said Col. Deborah McDonald,
associate director of admissions.
That’s in line with the proportion of women in active military duty.
The challenge now is recruiting at a time when troops are
deployed
in
Iraq
and
Afghanistan. While McDonald
said the academy has been able
to meet recruiting goals for
women, many parents now are
“tentatively holding back.”
“There’s a lot of concern for
the sons and daughters out
there,” McDonald said, “but
especially for daughters.”
West Point has made accommodations to women over the
years. They can wear stud earrings and makeup. McDonald,
Class of ’85, thinks the best
idea was to let female cadets
wear long hair, providing it’s
kept above the collar. Hair buns
do the trick. Often, the most
obvious gender clue among the
gray-clad cadets walking
around the maze of granite
buildings here is the knot of hair
poking from under some caps.
“All the guys are kind of like
your brothers,” said Powell, 18,
of West Harrison, Ind. “You
kind of help take care of them
and they help take care of you. I
don’t really think there’s any
difference between being a guy
and a girl here.”
West Point has been spared
the sort of high-profile sex
scandal that hit the Air Force
Academy earlier this decade.
Australian customs officials find drugs hidden in Mr. Potato Head toy
SYDNEY, Australia (AP)
— Customs officers discovered nearly 10.5 ounces of
ecstasy tablets hidden inside a
Mr. Potato Head toy sent to
Australia from Ireland, the
agency said Thursday.
Upon opening the parcel, the
officers were greeted with the
smiling face of the popular children’s toy, which features a potato-like head and removable facial
features. But when they removed
a panel from the back of the toy,
the officers found 10.34 ounces
of ecstasy in a plastic bag.
The Australian Customs
Service referred the matter to
federal police, but no arrests
were immediately made, the
agency said. The maximum
penalty for importing drugs to
Australia is life imprisonment.
“Whilst this is one of the
more unusual concealments
that we have seen in recent
times, people need to be aware
that Customs officers are alert
to unusual and often outlandish methods of concealment,” Customs Director Post
Karen Williams said.
Super spicy Thai chili sauce sparks road closures, evacuations in central London
LONDON (AP) — Super
spicy chili sauce sparked road
closures and evacuations in
central London after passersby complained that a chemical
emanating from a Thai restaurant was burning their throats,
police said Wednesday.
Reports of a strong smell
wafting from a restaurant in
the heart of London’s bustling
Soho district Monday prompted the London Fire Brigade to
send a chemical response
team, a Metropolitan Police
spokesman said.
Firefighters closed off roads,
sealed buildings and donned
special breathing masks to ferret out the source of the acrid
smell as onlookers coughed, the
Times of London reported.
Smashing down the door of
the suspected source — the
Thai Cottage restaurant —
they seized the culprit: extrahot bird’s eye chilies that had
been left dry-frying.
They were being prepared
for a batch of “nam prik pao,”
a spicy Thai sauce, restaurant
owner Sue Wasboonma said.
“The smoke didn’t go up
into the sky because of the rain
and the heavy air,” she told the
Times. “It’s the hottest thing
we make.”
No one was arrested, the
police spokesman said, declining to give his name in line
with force policy. “As far as
I’m aware, it’s not a criminal
offense to cook very strong
chili.”
‘Newsday’ missing Pulitzer medals; may have been stolen and sold at auction
NEW YORK (AP) —
When three gold medals said
to be Newsday’s own Pulitzer
Prizes were auctioned off, it
was news to the newspaper.
Newspaper
officials
thought the awards for public
service in 1954, 1970 and
1974 were locked away in a
company safe. But they apparently were sold at an auction
Friday in California for
$7,000, $4,500 and $4,000,
respectively.
The key to a lockbox within
the safe where the medals
were supposed to be had been
lost, so officials called in a
locksmith Tuesday to drill into
the smaller box. Not only were
the medals missing, but so was
a silicone mold used to make
reproductions of the awards,
the paper said.
Newspaper officials are
asking former executives for
information about the medals.
“We have contacted the
police and we are talking to
our attorneys to pursue all

Newsday spokeswoman Deidra Parrish Williams said in a
statement. “We are naturally
disheartened and disappointed
to discover that our medals are
not in our possession. We are
consoled by the fact that the
medals are not the prize itself.”
Jim Halperin, chairman of
the Dallas-based Heritage Auction Galleries, told the paper
that the consigner who sold the
medals was a coin dealer who
had purchased them at an
estate sale in Nassau County in
2001, but refused to give the
man’s name.

But a Pentagon task force in
2005 found that inappropriate
treatment of women — including offensive comments,
repeated and unwelcome
propositions and offers to trade
academic favors for sexual acts
— persisted at West Point and
the Naval Academy.
West Point officials say they
have made a number of changes
since then, including the institution of a confidential reporting
system and annually bringing in
women who were raped to
speak to cadets. New cadets
said they were made to memorize reporting procedures.
“Our awareness of the situation has grown in the last two

years,” said Col. Jeanette
McMahon, special assistant to
the superintendent on human

Class of ’83
McDonald said it is better for
women at West Point compared
to the early ’80s when she and
McMahon were cadets. She
notes that today’s female cadets
regularly meet women who have
had successful military careers,
like McDonald and herself.
Quezada, the daughter of
Vietnam veteran, can look for
inspiration from the 61 military
women at the faculty. And if she
needs a boost of confidence, she
can think of her sister, who
graduated West Point in May.

Blacks split evenly
between Clinton,
Obama in Democratic
presidential race
By ALAN FRAM
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON — Blacks
are split down the middle over
Barack Obama and Hillary
Rodham Clinton in the presidential race, seeing both as on
their side, a new poll says.
At the same time, blacks and
whites have starkly different
perceptions of Obama’s credentials, the Associated Press-Ipsos
poll said Wednesday. Blacks are
significantly more satisfied than
whites that the youthful Illinois
senator has sufficient experience to be president.
Many blacks seem torn
between the two. Obama would
be the first black president,
while the New York senator
and former first lady, along
with her husband, is widely
popular among blacks.
“I’m a black person, but
that’s not the only thing I like
about him,” said Raymond
Monroe, 63, a retired production supervisor from Abilene,
Texas, who backs Obama but
says he might shift. “He’s
young and has new ideas, but
she’s pretty sharp, too. Instead
of good old boys all the time, I
think we need a change.”
Blacks make up about a
tenth of voters overall. They are
reliably loyal Democrats, vot-
Nearly 30 percent
of flights delayed in
August, industry’s
worst air travel
year persists
ing nearly nine-to-one for the
party’s candidates in the 2004
and 2006 elections. And while
blacks are few in New Hampshire and Iowa, they comprise
about half the Democratic primary voters in South Carolina,
another early voting state.
Their allegiance is especially strong to the Clintons, which
will help the New York senator,
according several black leaders
from around the country.
“It’s not so much Mrs. Clinton they’re backing, it’s that
she’s married to the ex-president,” said Mayor Willie
Adams Jr. of Albany, Ga.
In the late September poll,
Clinton led Obama among
whites by 35 percent to 18 percent, Blacks were essentially
evenly divided, 40 percent for

Democratic-leaning independents, Clinton led by 35 percent
to 23 percent. All those measurements have been steady for
months in the AP-Ipsos poll.

WASHINGTON (AP) —
The airline industry’s dismal
on-time performance continued in August with nearly 30
percent of flights delayed,
according to government data
that comes less than a week
after President Bush promised
to help fix the problem.
The nation’s 20 largest carriers reported an on-time
arrival rate of 71.1 percent in
August, down from 75.8 percent a year ago, the Department of Transportation’s
Bureau of Transportation Statistics said Wednesday.
Through August, more than
25 percent of flights have
arrived late — the industry’s
worst on-time performance
since comparable data began
being collected in 1995.
August’s on-time performance
was the second worst on record
for that month, topped only by a
70 percent arrival rate in 2000.
“Endless hours sitting in an
airplane on a runway with no
communication between a
pilot and the airport is just not
right,” Bush said last week.
Not all airlines suffered
through poor performance in
August. Aloha Airlines had the
highest on-time arrival rate at 97
percent, followed by Hawaiian
Holdings Inc.’s Hawaiian Airlines at 93.6 percent and Southwest Airlines at 77.7 percent,
according to government data.

Washington state woman staying put, forcing
commercial development to be built around house
SEATTLE (AP) — The little
old lady who lives in a little old
house is stubborn in a very BIG
way. Edith Macefield, 86, has
refused a $1 million offer from a
developer to move out of her
108-year-old farmhouse to make
way for a commercial complex.
“I don’t want to move. I
don’t need the money. Money
doesn’t mean anything,” she
said recently.
Instead, the five-story project is being built around her,
ringing the death knell for her
once-thriving,
blue-collar
neighborhood.
Macefield’s house is the
last on her block, though
there’s a restaurant nearby
that’s staying put as well.
Gravel and cement trucks
noisily work around them, and
a tall concrete wall stands
within feet of Macefield’s
kitchen window. Construction
cranes hang over her roof.

WASHINGTON (AP) —
Federal terror-fighting agencies
can’t identify all the American
research laboratories that could
become targets of attackers,
congressional investigators
have found.
The Government Accountability Office asked a dozen
agencies whether they kept
track of all the labs handling
dangerous germs and toxins, or
knew the number. All responded negatively.
The findings were prepared
for a House Energy and Commerce Committee hearing
Thursday.
The government regulates
409 laboratories approved to
work with 72 of the world’s
deadliest organisms and poisons, including anthrax, bird flu
virus, monkeypox and plaguecausing bacteria.
But less is known about
other labs that work with
organisms that cause whooping
cough, tuberculosis, gonorrhea,
meningitis, typhoid fever, hepatitis, herpes, several strains of
flu, rabies, HIV and SARS.
The GAO said U.S. intelligence agencies, including the
FBI, told its investigators they
need to track all labs that could
be vulnerable to terrorism.
U.S. intelligence agencies
said they already are handicapped by the failure of some
foreign countries to regulate the
shipment or possession of biological agents.
The Associated Press reported this week that American laboratories handling the world’s
deadliest germs and toxins
have experienced more than
100 accidents and missing
shipments since 2003, and the
number is increasing as more
labs do the work.

No one died, and regulators
said the public was never at risk
during these incidents. But the
documented cases reflect poorly on procedures and oversight
at high-security labs. In some
cases, labs have failed to report
accidents as required by law.
The GAO report disclosed
that inspectors for the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention visited a high-security lab at
Texas A&M University in February 2006, just 13 days after
one worker was exposed to Brucella bacteria. Inspectors were
not told about the exposure. The
worker eventually became seriously ill, but recovered.
