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 See CHILDREN on Page 3 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.

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.” EXAMINER PHOTO | DOUG LOEHR Grand day Megan Savage, center, a culinary arts student at the Ohio Hi-Point Career Center, serves a specialty dessert Wednesday to her grandmother, Megan Savage, left, as her mother, Mary Gammell, all of Bellefontaine, looks on during Grandparents Day at the school.

Quincy cracks down on delinquent accounts Members of the Quincy Village Council engaged in a major discussion regarding delinquent utility accounts during a regular meeting Tuesday. Council reviewed a report of disconnections and discussed how best to handle uncollected accounts. Several accounts were certified to the county auditor for collection as liens on property taxes and a number of accounts were disconnected for nonpayment. Henceforth, accounts two VILLAGE COUNCIL months’ delinquent will be shut off and fees implemented for reconnection.

The privatization of transportation services is expected to save the board approximate- ly $250,000 over the next five years. The board currently operates four buses for Discovery Center pupils, and a combination of two buses and two vans for the adult services program at RTC Industries. 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 building, which would cost $18,651. The board approved a preliminary financial budget, which is due to the Logan County Commissioners’ office Oct. 15. The next meeting is 5 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 18, at the board office, 1851 W.

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. Nevada has a variety of goods available through its Internet gift store, including Tshirts and playing cards emblazoned with the words “Nevada Legislature” and the building in the background. North Carolina peddles art prints and books and Montana just put its 2007 Christmas ornament on sale. 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 stay in her home.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 4, 2007—BELLEFONTAINE EXAMINER Page 3 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 Jennifer Roby of Bellefontaine reported Monday the misuse of a credit card. The loss was listed at $1,000. 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. 2007, in Mercy Medical Center, Springfield.

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. Children Continued from Page 1 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.

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 not painting and hammering? — Blessings From Pastor Diane Dear Pastor Diane: You may be onto something here. © 2007 Creators Syndicate Thursday, October 11, 2007 Tri-County Community Action Center 6886 Wishart St., Huntsville Bingo starts PROMPTLY at 6:00 p.m. (doors open at 4:30 p.m.) Advance tickets $20 (Includes 16 games of Bingo & dauber).

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. Today’s Birthdays: Actor Charlton Heston is 84. Country singer Leroy Van Dyke is 78. Actress Felicia Farr is 75. Actor Eddie Applegate is 72. Author Anne Rice is 66. Actress Lori Saunders (“Petticoat Junction”) is 66. Actor Clifton Davis is 62. Actress Susan Sarandon is 61. Blues musician Duke Robillard is 59. Playwright Lee Blessing is 58. Actor Armand Assante is 58. Actor Alan Rosenberg is 57. Producer Russell Simmons is 50. Musician Chris Lowe (The Pet Shop Boys) is 48. Country musician Gregg “Hobie” Hubbard (Sawyer Brown) is 47. 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. © 2007 UNIVERSAL PRESS SYNDICATE Federal Consumer Protection has confirmed the fuel saving described in this advertisement. Device may increase gas mileage by 22% an engine is pollution, this 22% of each gallon normally 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.” For further information call: 1-800-LESS-GAS 1-800- 5 3 7 - 7 4 2 7 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. LARGEST SELECTION Boston - National Fuelsaver Corp. has developed a low cost automotive accessory called the Platinum Gas Saver which is guaranteed to increase gas mileage by 22% while meeting all emission standards. With a simple connection to a vacuum line, the Gas Saver adds platinum vapor economically to the air and fuel entering the engine. Since platinum enables non-burning fuel to burn, the Gas Saver’s platinum increases the percentage of fuel burning inside the engine from 68% of each gallon to 90% of each gallon, a 22% increase. Since unburnt fuel leaving Today marks the 7th anniversary of the passing of Myron Van Horn, the former 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, associates of Eichholtz Funeral Homes and Sanford-Eichholtz Funeral Homes. This tribute is fitting for a man who was a prime example of what a community leader is and a man who also loved Logan County and its people. Thank you Myron.

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.

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. ABE MARTIN “Nothin’ softens us like a little dash o’ real trouble.” THE FORUM BELLEFONTAINE EXAMINER P.O. Box 40 Bellefontaine, Ohio 43311 Second Class Postage Paid At Bellefontaine, Ohio 43311 Publication Number 049000 “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.” Tom Purcell is a humor columnist nationally syndicated exclusively by Cagle Cartoons.

Amen THURSDAY, OCTOBER 4, 2007—BELLEFONTAINE EXAMINER Page 7 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. The neighborhood, which comprises many million-dollar homes, is in an area that has a Judge awards Wal-Mart workers another $62 million for lost break time to avert damage from the moving earth. Sanders defended the city against charges by some residents that it didn’t do enough after noticing the street cracks in July. “We have been working with people in the most immediately affected areas since July,” Sanders said at a news conference. “We have contacted the most immediately affected people over and over and over again.” only seven people were inside homes near the collapse when it occurred. Mayor Jerry Sanders declared a state of emergency Wednesday night, making the city eligible for state and federal aid. The city began noticing cracks on Soledad Mountain Road in July and water and gas main breaks in August. A water line in the neighborhood was replaced with an aboveground pipeline in September Lockset sold separately. now $ 78 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. history of landslides dating back to the 1960s.

Weather Underground ¥ AP 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. 592-3277 ELECT Frank Faulder Bloomfield Township Trustee Paid for by Frank Faulder, 4039 Twp.

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 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. CBCStandings Kenton Trail Division TEAM CBC TOTAL TIPPECANOE 1-0 6-0 Last wk: Def. Bellefontaine 21-20.

As far as Bellefontaine is concerned, Brown said he likes the way his team has responded in practice after the 21-20 loss to Tippecanoe. “When you look back at that game, we won the second half,” said Brown. “That is what we are building on.

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.

Boyd, who lives in West Liberty, verbally committed Tuesday evening to Michigan. He is a returning state champion and has placed at the COBY state meet in BOYD each of his three seasons. “They have a good wrestling tradition there,” said Boyd. “I like all the coaches and wrestlers. There wasn’t really anything I didn’t like about them. “Not only do I like it being a Division I school, but the Big Ten is one of, if not the, toughest conferences in college wrestling.” Five of the top 10 teams at the NCAA Division I national championships in 2007 were Big Ten squads. Michigan finished sixth, while Minnesota won the national title. The nationally-ranked Boyd also had college options in The University of Iowa, Kent State and Edinboro University. Full ride scholarships in collegiate wrestling at any level, especially Division I, are few and far between. That left Boyd with a good feeling. game and we will have to play well and finish our opportunities to be successful.” In Wednesday’s reserve match, Ben Logan won 2-1. Dale Allen scored two goals, Jamie Rice had an assist and Aaron Jenkins made four saves in goal to lead the Raiders. Ben Logan is back in action Saturday at home against Fairlawn.

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.

Cribbs routinely sets up the offense with excellent field position and he’s been a big factor in the Browns’ surprising 2-2 start. He leads the NFL with a 34.3 kickoff return average. Cribbs, who joined the Browns in 2005 as an undrafted rookie out of Kent State, ran 99 yards for a touchdown Sept. 23 against Oakland. He needs 49 yards to pass Dino Hall (3,185) as the franchise’s all-time leader in kickoff return yards.

Online @ www.examiner.org 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 Game 1 of their NL playoff series Wednesday. Making just the second postseason appearance in the franchise’s 15-year history, the Rockies posted only their second postseason victory, the other coming in 1995. AP PHOTO | CHARLES KRUPA Boston Red Sox’s David Ortiz watches his home run in the third inning of Game 1 of an American League Division Series playoff baseball game Wednesday against the Los Angeles Angels in Boston. Matt Holliday, his chin still cut up from the face-first slide that won Monday’s wild-card tiebreaker over San Diego, hit a solo home run. Colorado carried over its momentum from that victory, and won for the 15th time in 16 games. Francis, a 17-game winner who came in with a 15.12 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 By THE BELLEFONTAINE EXAMINER STAFF Visiting Tippecanoe defeated Bellefontaine 25-18, 25-27, 25-12, 25-12 in a Central Buckeye Conference Kenton Trail division volleyball match Wednesday. The Chiefs are now 13-7 overall on the season. Kirsten Leasure had 13 digs Boyd Continued from Page 9 “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 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.

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.

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 LOGAN AUCTION Call Mick for all your auction needs.

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.

Visit our Web site www.yourauctionpage.com/Barthauers 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 ORDER T R U O C PUBLIC years,” said Col. Jeanette McMahon, special assistant to the superintendent on human relations and a member of the 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.

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 Obama and 38 percent for Clinton. Among all Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents, Clinton led by 35 percent to 23 percent. All those measurements have been steady for months in the AP-Ipsos poll. Faced with choosing between two potential White House firsts — the first black president or the first female — black women split 47 percent for Clinton, 37 percent for Obama. Clinton has led decisively among all women nationally. 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. House panel hears testimony on you worked for it... problems with high security labs now let it work for you. 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.

Chillicothe • Bellefontaine, OH 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.
