Gates tours Afghan war zone
By ANNE GEARAN
The Associated Press
COMBAT OUTPOST
SENJERAY, Afghanistan
— U.S. Defense Secretary
Robert Gates said today he
saw and heard evidence that
the U.S. counterinsurgency
strategy is taking hold in crit-
ical Kandahar province.
Gates toured U.S. bases
and met with troops in the
thick of the fighting in
Kandahar city and the Taliban
haven of Zhari district, west
of the city.
The birthplace of the
Taliban, Kandahar
Afghanistan’s second-largest

city and a linchpin of the retai-
lored battle plan President
Barack Obama announced
last year. Even as the U.S.
nears the full complement of
the troop surge ordered last
year by Obama, the region
remains a battleground, still
far from under full control
of the U.S.-backed central
government in Kabul.
Military commanders
know the nearly nine-year
war cannot be won without a
turnaround in Kandahar, yet
goals and plans for the fight
there have been vague. The

Police say attacks on Pakistani minorities kill 44

The Associated Press
QUETTA, Pakistan —
Suicide bombings targeting
religious minorities killed at
least 44 people in Pakistan on
today, sharply driving up the
toll of sectarian assaults in a
country already battered by
massive flooding.
A blast killed at least 43
people in the southwestern
city of Quetta at a Shiite pro-
cession calling for solidarity
with Palestinians, Police Chief
Ghulam Shabir Sheikh said. He
said 78 people were wounded
and several were in critical
condition.
Protesters dragged wounded
people into private cars as burn-
ing motorcycles sent clouds of
black smoke billowing through
the streets. The bodies of the
dead and wounded lay strewn
across the road.
Some Shiite youths fired in
the air after the blast, and Qazi
Abdul Wahid, a senior police
official, said officers were try-
ing to control the situation.
Shiite leader Allama Abbas
Kumaili appealed to partici-
pants to remain peaceful.
“We understand these are

Afghans from siding with
international forces and the
Afghan government.
Gates wanted a firsthand
look at operations in the dan-
gerous south where Afghan
and international troops are
ramping up security. The
Obama administration plans
a top-to-bottom assessment
of the war in December. The
review will question whether
Obama’s strategy is work-
ing.
“I come away from my vis-
its down here today encour-
aged,” Gates told reporters
traveling with him. He said
that signs of progress were
incremental but growing.
Still, he added, “Everybody
knows this is far from a done
deal.”
The bulked-up force here
is aimed at blunting Taliban
momentum on their home
ground and setting the stage
for a gradual U.S. exit from
the war beginning next sum-
mer.
Gates spoke with a couple
dozen U.S. service members
in a courtyard ringed with
heavily armored all-terrain
vehicles designed to help
them survive the homemade
bombs that are the biggest
death threat to coalition
troops.
“You guys are in the for-
attempts to set Sunni and Shiite
sects against each other,” he
said.
The attack in Quetta was
the second this week on
Pakistani Shiites, who by some
estimates make up about 20
percent of the population in the
mostly Sunni Muslim country,
although figures are imprecise
and disputed.
A triple suicide attack
Wednesday night killed 35
people at a Shiite ceremony in
the eastern city of Lahore.
Kumaili said the attacks
against minority sects were a
result of government failure.
“Our government concen-
trates all its efforts to secure
VIPs. Common men are not
their priority,” he said.
Government officials have
said they cannot protect out-
door gatherings from attacks,
and Interior Minister Rehman
Malik called Thursday for
Shiites to hold religious cer-
emonies indoors.
Baluchistan provincial
Police Chief Malik Iqbal said
officials had warned organiz-
ers of the Quetta ceremony
to stick inside a security cor-
don after intelligence agents
received reports about a pos-
sible terror attack.
“They violated the route,”
Iqbal said. “We had warned
them not to extend their rally
out of the cordon.”
Wednesday’s attack in
Lahore, and a host of other
assaults on religious minori-
ties, was claimed by the hard-
line Sunni Pakistani Taliban,
which is seeking to overthrow
a Western-backed government
shaken most recently by flood-
ing that has caused massive
displacement, suffering and
economic damage.
Earlier today, a suicide attack
on a mosque belonging to the
minority Ahmadi sect killed at
least one person and wounded
several others in the northwest
Pakistani town of Mardan.
Military and law-enforce-
ment officials also have been
battered by militant violence,
particularly along the border
with Afghanistan. Officials
said a roadside bomb attack in
the capital of the northwest’s
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province
today killed one police officer
and wounded three others.

ward foxhole and what makes
a difference in the whole cam-
paign is your success here in
Kandahar city,” Gates told
U.S. troops at Camp Nathan
Smith, headquarters for U.S.
operations in the largest city
in southern Afghanistan.
The troops were part
of the 1st Brigade Combat
Team, 4th Infantry Division,
which arrived Aug. 18, and
has already lost eight soldiers
— seven last Monday alone.
“Unfortunately, there are
going to be more tough days
ahead,” Gates said. “You
know that better than any-
body.”
One soldier asked Gates
why the U.S. doesn’t go after
insurgents hiding in neigh-
boring Pakistan. The United
States is pressing Islamabad
to expand its pursuit of
insurgents farther into North
Waziristan, a border area
next to Afghanistan often
described as lawless.
“I think the likelihood of
direct U.S. military engage-
ment in Pakistan is very low,”
Gates said.
For the past 18 months,
Pakistan has realized the
importance of fighting insur-
gents on its soil and has
effectively squeezed militant
groups — in some cases,
concentrating them in North
and affected about 20 million
people. The waters are still
swamping rich agricultural
land in the southern provinces
of Sindh and Punjab.
Flood victims say they have
received little government
help, and most assistance has
come to them from private
charities. The International
Committee of the Red Cross
warned Thursday that survi-
vors’ anger was beginning to
hamper those aid efforts.
About 500 survivors
blocked a key road in the Sindh
town of Gharo on today to pro-
test inadequate food and drink-
ing water.
“We have blocked traffic
today to draw government
attention toward our problems.
We are living at a govern-
ment building without food,”
said Deedar Ahmad, 25, who
said he fled with about 1,000
people from a nearby flooded
village.
Survivor Ali Nawaz said
the government had housed
flood victims but was not pro-
viding food, electricity, water
or adequate shelter.
“We cannot sleep because
of the fears of snakes,” he
said.
The flooding, and anger
over the government response,
has raised fears about the sta-
bility of Pakistan’s govern-
ment, seen as a problematic but
essential Western ally in the
fight against Islamist militants
in Afghanistan and Pakistan’s
own restive tribal areas.
The Pakistani Taliban has
issued veiled threats against
Western aid workers but a
recent wave of attacks have
focused instead on religious
minorities, particularly Shiites
and Ahmadis.
Police official Ahsanullah
Khan said the bomber in today’s
attack on the Ahmadi mosque in
the northwest town of Mardan
appeared to have detonated him-
self after he was prevented from
entering the building.
In May, two teams of seven
militants armed with hand gre-
nades, suicide vests and assault
rifles attacked two Ahmadi
mosques in Lahore, killing 97
and wounding dozens.
Many mainstream Muslims
consider the Ahmadis heretics
for believing that their founder,
Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, was a
savior foretold by the Quran,
Islam’s holy book. They
say Ahmadis are defying the
basic tenet of Islam that says
Muhammad is the final prophet.

Briefs
Dems bring
charge against
court justice
COLUMBUS (AP) —
A panel of judges has dis-
missed a complaint by the
Ohio Democratic Party that
accused Supreme Court
Justice Maureen O’Connor of
making improper campaign
endorsements.
Democrats claimed
O’Connor violated rules of
judicial conduct by publicly
backing fellow Republican
Justice Judith Ann Lanzinger
for re-election.
A three-member panel of
appellate judges in Cleveland
determined Aug. 26 there
was no good cause for further
investigation and dropped the
case against O’Connor.
O’Connor, who is run-
ning against Chief Justice
Eric Brown, said Thursday
she knew there was never any
misconduct.
A panel of judges also dis-
missed a similar complaint
against Lanzinger last month.
Strickland has
plan for new
Medicaid money
COLUMBUS (AP) — Gov.
Ted Strickland has outlined
how he will spend some of the
$519 million that Ohio is get-
ting in new federal Medicaid
money, giving $150 million
to hospitals to help offset state
fees and designating $33 mil-
lion to preserve jobs in the
mental health system.
Strickland also said
Thursday that $13 million
will go toward a program
that offers drug assistance to
Ohioans living with HIV or
AIDS.
The money became avail-
able after Congress agreed in
August to continue paying a
higher share of the Medicaid
program for the poor and dis-
abled. The increased aid had
been set to expire at the end
of 2010 but will now continue
through June 30, 2011.
Strickland said he’s hold-
ing off deciding how to spend
about $235 million until he
gets comments from state law-
makers and health care pro-
viders.
Obama plans
trip to Cleveland
CLEVELAND (AP) —
President Barack Obama is
planning another trip to Ohio
in this midterm election
year, this time taking him to
Cleveland.
In a brief statement, the
White House says the presi-
dent will be in the city on

Suit challenges
Ohio absentee
ballot methods
COLUMBUS (AP) —
Four voters have filed a fed-
eral lawsuit challenging the
different ways Ohio counties
handle mailings of absentee
ballot applications and the
ballots themselves.
Some counties mail out
the applications to all active
registered voters, while oth-
ers don’t. Some cover the
cost of mailing back a com-
pleted application or ballot,
while others require the voter
to come up with stamps.
The suit filed in Cincinnati
this week asks a federal
judge to stop counties from
mailing out absentee ballots
until the state has a uniform
policy.
The plaintiffs live in coun-
ties that don’t automatically
send out ballot applications.
A spokesman says Ohio
Secretary of State Jennifer
Brunner (BROO’-nur), the
state’s top elections official,
is reviewing the lawsuit.

The Associated Press
COLUMBUS — The
Democratic Governors
Association filed an elec-
tions complaint in Ohio on
Thursday alleging Fox News
Channel illegally helped the
Republican governor nomi-
nee solicit funds during a
television appearance.
In an escalating battle
with Fox’s news division,
the association alleges that
Fox allowed John Kasich to
request contributions from
viewers during an Aug. 18
broadcast and simultaneous-
ly displayed the address of
his campaign website in on-
screen graphics.
The complaint alleges the
free publicity during Fox’s
“O’Reilly Factor” amount-
ed to an improper in-kind
contribution to Kasich’s
campaign, which exceeded
Ohio’s $11,395.56 contri-
bution limit and lacked the
proper disclaimer for political
advertising. The web address
appeared for 90 seconds, the
complaint said.
Kasich, a former Fox
commentator, later told sup-
porters the event helped him
raise $21,000, according to
complaint filed with the Ohio
Elections Commission. He is
seeking to unseat Democratic
Gov. Ted Strickland in
November.
DGA executive director
Nathan Daschle said in an
interview that his group acted
in Ohio to keep Fox from
helping other Republican
gubernatorial candidates in a
similar way.
“If they get away with it
in Ohio, I think they will cer-
tainly try it in other states,”

Sign of hope: More talks

WASHINGTON — In
an early sign of promise,
Israeli and Palestinian leaders
pledged Thursday in a cordial

meeting at regular intervals,

peace within a year.

Lady Knights
skewer Wildcats
By JIM METCALFE
The Delphos Herald

CONVOY — Crestview
took advantage of the wind
and the sun Thursday night
against Jefferson, building up
a 5-0 spread in the first half en
route to a 6-0 shutout of the
Lady Wildcats in girls soc-
cer action at
Crestview
Athletic
Complex.
The Lady
Knights
(2-2) took
the initiative
from the
get-go and
attacked the
goal.
Schosker
T h e y
had two prime attempts in
the first four minutes: junior
Madison Etzler at 37:41 and
freshman Brooke Bowen at
36:05; but both were denied
by Wildcat junior keeper
Cassidy Bevington (6 saves
vs. 12 shots-on-goal).
However, the
onslaught contin-
ued and the first
score came at 34:45
when junior Catelyn
Mefferd’s corner
kick from the right
side found Etzler at
the 10-yard mark;
her header found the
back of the net for a
1-0 edge.
“It seems like a broken
record; I keep telling the girls
the same thing to spread out.
We talked about this being a
wide field and using that to
our advantage but apparently
we like each other so much,
we like to be side-by-side,”
Jefferson coach Lindsey
Drerup said. “We also started
out playing kick-ball, ping-
ponging the ball back and
forth. They did some of the
same things. It’s a mental
thing right now; we seem to
hit a mental block and can’t
seem to get past it.”
The Lady Knights kept
attacking and broke through
again at the 15:16 mark. This
time, it was off a failed clear-
ance, with Bowen grabbing
possession and letting fly with
an 18-yarder from the right
post to the left side for a 2-0
lead.
At 5:22, it became a 3-goal
lead by the hosts. On a free
kick from 25 yards (on a foul)
in the middle, Mefferd floated
it over the top past Bevington
for a 3-0 edge.
The next goal came quick-
ly — just 1:06 later — as
Rachael Gent made a through
pass to a streaking Etzler
down the right side for a 1-on-
1 with the keeper. Just outside
the right post, she fired from
15 yards to the left side of the
cords for a 4-0 spread.
Bevington made a superior
stop from that same spot by
Etzler at 2:03.
However, she couldn’t

pitched 1-hit ball for eight innings
to earn his major league-leading
19th win, fill-in Curtis Granderson
homered twice and New York beat
Oakland 5-0 on Thursday for a
4-game sweep.
Sabathia (19-5) gave up Mark
Ellis’ clean single leading off the
second. Jonathan Albaladejo com-
pleted the combined 1-hitter in the
ninth.
Granderson hit a solo homer
and a 2-run shot as a replacement
for Nick Swisher, who left after one
inning because of a stiff left knee.
Jorge Posada also homered, pro-
pelling the Yankees to their sixth
straight victory.
Dallas Braden (9-10) left in
the sixth inning with heat-related
cramps. He allowed two hits and
slowly walked off trailing 1-0.
Red Sox 6, Orioles 4
BALTIMORE — Adrian Beltre
homered to spark a 5-run second
inning and Boston salvaged a .500
road trip.
David Ortiz drove in two runs
and J.D. Drew had three hits for
the Red Sox, who moved within
6 1/2 games of idle Tampa Bay in
the AL wild-card race.
After missing his last start with
a sore back, Daisuke Matsuzaka
(9-4) gave up four runs in 5 2/3
innings. Jonathan Papelbon
worked the ninth for his 35th
save.
Baltimore starter Brad Bergesen
(6-10) gave up five runs, two
earned, eight hits and a career-high

prevent a 5-0 lead with 45.5
ticks to go in the half. Clare
Mefferd sent a through ball to
Etzler behind the defense and
her 15-yarder went middle left
for the final tally of the half.
“Madison got a hat trick
and we had three others get
scores. We had good passing,
too, that set up the scores,”
Crestview coach Melissa
Mefferd noted. “We did a lot
of things well tonight; it was
a good all-around game for
us. We came out aggressively,
especially the first half.”
The Wildcats had two
chances in the first half: at
1 9 : 3 0 ,
when junior
Elizabeth
Schosker
tried an
18-yard
floater that
junior net-
minder
M e g a n
Foster (4

4 shots-
on-goal)
grabbed; and at 2:28, when
freshman Makayla
Binkley had a 1-on-1
try but was denied by
Foster.
The Wildcats
(0-3-1) were without
Corrine Metzger (inju-
ry) from the start and
lost Haley Drerup to
injury at the half, leav-
ing them shorthanded
to try and attempt a rally the
second half.
Despite having the wind
at their backs the second half,
the Wildcats could only get
two prime shots off: at 34:30,
when Binkley was again sty-
mied by the keeper; and 31:45,
when Schosker was stopped.
Crestview tacked on the
final goal at 30:01, when
junior Brittany Longwell bat-
tled for possession in front of
the Jefferson goal and finally
launched a 10-yarder that
found the cords.
“It’s frustrating for every-
body. We started out the
second half better but after
about 10 minutes, we went
back to the old habits,” coach
Drerup added. “Then exhaus-
tion starts to set in, especially
the last 10 minutes of each
half. You try to condition but
you really can’t condition for
emotion, so we tire quicker.
We have to learn not to let the
emotions get to us.”
Crestview hosts Lima
Central Catholic 1 p.m.
Saturday.
“We pulled back the sec-
ond half; we’ve been in strug-
gling situations like Jefferson
and there’s no need to pour it
on,” coach Mefferd added. “I
give Jefferson credit for not
quitting and for continuing to
play hard; that’s a testament
to them. This is a great win
for us but we can’t dwell on it;
we have to get ready for LCC
Saturday.”
Jefferson takes on St.
John’s 5 p.m. Thursday.
Ryan Raburn added three hits
and two RBIs after entering the
game in the sixth inning for the
injured Miguel Cabrera and Jose
Valverde (2-3) pitched a career-
high three innings of relief to help
the Tigers avoid a 3-game sweep.
Laird, who entered the game
in the 11th inning, homered off
Nick Blackburn (8-9). Blackburn
was scheduled to start the series
opener against Texas tonight.
Danny Valencia had three hits
and two RBIs for the Twins, who
led 7-3 going into the eighth and
9-8 in the ninth only to let both
leads slip away. They lead the
White Sox by 3 1/2 games in the
AL Central.
Indians 6, Mariners 3
SEATTLE — Shin-Soo Choo
drove in five runs with a bases-
loaded double and a 2-run home
run for Cleveland.
Choo hit a 3-1 fastball from
Doug Fister (4-11) against the
right-center-field wall in the
Indians’ 4-run sixth to score all
three runners without a throw. He
added his 2-run shot in the ninth
to match his season-high for RBIs.
Choo leads Cleveland in home
runs (16) and RBIs (68).
Josh Tomlin (3-3) lasted six
innings, allowing seven hits and
three runs, striking out five without
a walk. Chris Perez worked the
ninth for his 17th save. Asdrubal
Cabrera added three hits for the
Indians.
Seattle’s Russell Branyan hit
his 21st home run, a 2-run shot in
the third.

Shawnee outshoots Blue Jays to get victory

DELPHOS — The St.
John’s Blue Jays girls soccer
team had beaten traditional
power Shawnee the last two
times when the two schools
took the pitch Thursday night
at St. John’s High School.
This time, the Lady Indians
got the early lead and held it,
handing the Lady Blue Jays
a 4-1 loss in the non-league
affair.
The Indians got on the
board first Thursday night
when Victoria Beverly took
a penalty kick at the 34:14
mark and her shot found the
back of the net past Blue Jay
senior goalie Samantha Stant
(9 saves) to give the Indians
a 1-0 lead.
The Blue Jays controlled
the ball for most of the game
but were unable to get the
ball in the back of the net in
the early going.
Shawnee struck again at
the 15:38 mark in the first
half when Beverly found the
net again for her second goal
of the game past a diving

of the visitors.

COLDWATER — The St.
John’s volleyball team went
on the road to Coldwater
for its Midwest Athletic
Conference opener Thursday
night and came back with a

Leading the way for the
Lady Boue Jays (2-1, 0-1)
were junior

(5 kills, 3
blocks) and
senior Katie
Wallenhorst
(7 assists, 2

against Coldwater. We had a
lot of intensity and momen-
tum was flowing our direc-
tion, then we had a few men-
tal mistakes and the momen-
tum switched gears — advan-
tage Coldwater,” St. John’s
coach Kellie Sterling said.
“We started making more and
more mental errors, which put
us in a bind. The girls play
hard but their confidence in
the MAC games needs work.
The girls started out strong;
we just need to finish strong.
If we continue to play hard
from the beginning to the end,
we will be fine. Coldwater
played not to lose; I give
them a lot of credit that they
never gave up fighting. I hope
my girls look at that and see
that they can do the same
if they believe in themselves
and work together. Our team
chemistry is growing every
day and we have a lot of
games left for them to show
that; we will only get better
as time goes on. We take this
game and learn from our mis-
takes to continue improving
the things that will make us
successful; every game is a
learning experience.”
Leaders for Coldwater
(4-2, 1-0): Jenae Muhlenkamp
(18 assists), Bethany Werling
(8 kills), Jamie Bills (4 aces,
7 digs) and Brittanie Niekamp
and Emily Kahlig (3 blocks
each).

unlucky: “I thought that we
played pretty well tonight
and we had a lot of good
looks at goals but it seemed
like we got unlucky tonight
and just couldn’t find the
net.”
The Blue Jays were not
giving up by any means,
though. At the 19:56 mark
in the second half of play,
senior Bailey Calvelage took
the ball down in the Indian
territory and crossed it across
the field to waiting junior
Courtney Grouthouse; she
did the rest from there and
her kick found the back of the
net to make the score 2-1 in
favor of the visitors.
However, that’s all the
Blue Jays could manage
Thursday night as the Indians
added two more scores to end
the Jays comeback.
The Indians scored their
third goal of the night at the
9:50 mark when Lauren
Diglia found the back of the
net to put her team up by a
score of 3-1.
The Indians added the
finishing touches to a well-
played match at the 2:01
mark when Shelby Lucas’s
kick got past Stant to make
the final score 4-1.
With the loss, the Blue
Jays fall to 1-2 on a young
season and will play host to
Lima Senior Saturday with a
start time of 1 p.m.

Sharapova has matchup with another young American

By EDDIE PELLS
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — They all
want to be like Maria. They all
want to beat Maria, too.
Maria Sharapova’s next
match at the U.S. Open will
come against yet another teen-
ager who looks up to her —
18-year-old Beatrice Capra, the
371st-ranked American who,
with a win in that third-round
match, would be one step clos-
er to becoming the 2010 ver-
sion of Melanie Oudin.
As a 17-year-old underdog
last year, Oudin’s magical run
to the U.S. Open quarterfinals
started getting serious when she

In front of a crowded house
in Arthur Ashe Stadium, she
dismantled 68th-ranked Iveta
Benesova 6-1, 6-2, leaving
fans to chatter less about her
game than her outfit — a dark
blue dress with a black collar
and lapels, giving it a tuxedo-
like effect. Perfect for a night-
time match.
At this stage, the 14th-
seeded Sharapova is clearly a
different player than she was
last year, when her loss to
What a debut.
She opened with a win over
95th-ranked Karolina Sprem,
then followed it Thursday
with a 7-5, 2-6, 6-3 upset over
18th-seeded Aravane Rezai of
France.
Those women aren’t much-
known outside the tennis
world. Sharapova is.
Before Sharapova’s match,
No. 2 seed Roger Federer
breezed through a straight-
set victory over Germany’s

A 3-time winner at the
majors, Sharapova is only 23
but can already see a trend
developing. More and more,
she’s playing opponents who
grew up with her poster on
their wall.
“When they tell me they

and a bit of a shock, it’s kind

recovering right shoulder.
This time, it’s Capra who
gets a shot at Sharapova, the
2006 U.S. Open champion
who also has a Wimbledon
and Australian Open title.
“I think it will be an amaz-
ing experience,” Capra said.
The teenager, who trains at
the Evert Academy in Florida,
got a call from the U.S. Tennis
Association a few weeks ago,
inviting her to play in a playoff
for a wild-card spot. She won
it and suddenly found herself
in the main draw of a tour-
level event for the first time.

The angels of Patricia Neal

After her destructive affairs with married
men, after the death of her first child, after an
accident left her infant son brain-damaged,
after the near-fatal strokes that struck months
after her 1964 Oscar win for “Hud,” actress
Patricia Neal faced yet another personal crisis
that left her on the verge of collapse.
While her marriage to British writer Roald
Dahl, the author of children’s classics such
as “James and the Giant Peach,” had long
been troubled, Neal was shattered when she
learned he was having an affair with one of
her friends. They divorced in 1983.
In her 1988 memoir, “As I Am,” Neal ad-
mitted: “Frequently my life has been likened
to a Greek tragedy, and the actress in me can-
not deny that comparison.”
That quotation captured the tone of the
tributes published after Neal passed away on
Aug. 8 at the age of 84. Broadway theaters
dimmed their lights in honor of the Tony
Award winner, and critics sang the praises
of one of Hollywood’s ultimate survivors, an
actress who literally learned to walk and talk
again before returning to the screen to earn
another Oscar nomination.
But Neal’s story contained angels as well
as demons. This is obvious in the overlooked
TERRY MATTINGLY

passages in “As I Am” that described her con-
version to Catholicism and her visits to the
cloister of Regina Laudis (Queen of Praise)
Abbey in Bethlehem, Conn., where the sisters
helped her confess her sorrows and rage.
Finally, the abbess suggested that Neal
move into the abbey for a month.
“Lady Abbess,” said Neal, “I don’t want to
join up, you understand?”
The abbess sighed and said, “Believe me,
we don’t want you to, either. I don’t think we
could take it for more than a month.”
As she arrived, Neal stubbed out the “last
cigarette I would ever smoke.”
A priest gave her a blessing and, she re-
called, “I felt his cross blaze into my fore-
head. ... I traded my street clothes for the
black dress of the postulant and scrubbed off
my makeup. I removed the rings from my fin-
gers and covered my hair with a black scarf. I
looked at the bare wooden walls of my cell. ...
I did not live the exact life of a postulant, but
I did my best.”
Neal went to church on time, followed
the abbey’s prayer regime, baked bread, re-
mained silent during meals and, with the help
of a spiritual director, began writing the jour-
nal that evolved into “As I Am.”
Behind closed doors, she unleashed her
fury. At one point she screamed so many
curses at her counselor that the sister finally
cursed right back, urging Neal to be honest
about her own faults and mistakes.
The actress finally voiced her secret pain.
Monsignor Jim Lisante of the Diocese of
Rockville Centre (New York) later discussed
with Neal the tragedies of her life and asked
if there was any one event that she would
change.
“She said, ‘Forty years ago I became in-
volved with the actor Gary Cooper, and by
him I became pregnant. As he was a married
man and I was young in Hollywood and not
wanting to ruin my career, we chose to have
the baby aborted,’ “ wrote Lisante, at the Cre-
ative Minority Report website. “She said,
‘Father, alone in the night for over 40 years,
I have cried for my child. And if there is one
thing I wish I had the courage to do over in
my life, I wish I had the courage to have that
baby.’”
Several of the obituaries for Neal -- in-
cluding The New York Times’ -- mentioned
this episode in the context of her pain and re-
gret. The Washington Post noted that late in
life “she suffered periods of depression and
suicidal thoughts before finding peace as a
Catholic convert.”
In the end, Neal decided that, “God was
using my life far beyond any merit of my own
making,” allowing her to reach out to those
who were suffering. “I learned that my dam-
aged brain cannot reclaim what is dead. It has
to create totally new pathways that allowed
me to make choices I would never have made
had I not suffered that stroke -- choices that an
infallible voice assures me will be blessed.”
One final lesson from the abbess, wrote Neal,
stood out: “There is a way to love that remains
after everything else is taken from us.”

Many home kitchens Park 51 ‘mosque’ project faces financial hurdles
wouldn’t pass inspection
By MIKE STOBBE
The Associated Press
ATLANTA — Could
your kitchen at home pass a
restaurant inspection?
New research suggests
that at least one in seven
home kitchens would flunk
the kind of health inspection
commonly administered to
restaurants.
The small study from
California’s Los Angeles
County found that only 61
percent of home kitchens
would get an A or B if put
through the rigors of a res-
taurant inspection. At least
14 percent would fail — not
even getting a C.
“I would say if they got
below a C, I’m not sure I
would like them to invite me
to dinner,” said Dr. Jonathan
Fielding, director of the Los
Angeles County Department
of Public Health.
In comparison, nearly all
Los Angeles County restau-
rants — 98 percent — get A
or B scores each year.
The study, released
Thursday, is believed to be
one of the first to offer a
sizable assessment of food
safety in private homes. But
the researchers admit the
way it was done is hardly
perfect.
The results are based not
on actual inspections, but
on an Internet quiz taken by
about 13,000 adults.
So it’s hard to use it to

compare the conditions in
home kitchens to those in
restaurants, which involve
trained inspectors giving
objective assessments of
dirt, pests, and food storage
and handling practices.
What’s more, experts
don’t believe the study is rep-
resentative of all households,
because people who are more
interested and conscientious
about food safety are more
likely to take the quiz.
“You’ll miss a big popu-
lation who don’t have home
computers or just really don’t
care” about the cleanliness
of their kitchens, said Martin
Bucknavage, a food safety
specialist with Penn State
University’s Department of
Food Science.
A more comprehensive
look would probably find
that an even smaller per-
centage of home kitchens
would do well in a restaurant
inspection, he suggested.
In 2006, the county
health department began a
home kitchen self-inspec-
tion program, designed to
help consumers learn how
to store and prepare food
safely. The department also
began offering an online
quiz with 45 yes or no ques-
tions that simulates a restau-
rant inspection checklist.
People are asked, for
example, if their refrigerator
temperature is 41 degrees
Fahrenheit or lower, wheth-
er raw meat is stored below

other foods on refrigerator
shelves, and whether fruits
and vegetables are always
thoroughly rinsed before
they are eaten.
The study is based on
quizzes taken through 2008.
Overall, 34 percent got an
A, meaning they correctly
answered at least 90 percent
of the questions. Another 27
percent got a B, 25 percent
a C, and 14 percent failed to
score at least a 70.
An estimated 87 million
cases of food-borne ill-
ness occur in the United
States each year, including
371,000 hospitalizations
and 5,700 deaths, accord-
ing to an Associated Press
calculation that uses a CDC
formula and recent popula-
tion estimates.
Many outbreaks that
receive publicity are cen-
tered on people who got
sick after eating at a res-
taurant, catered celebration
or large social gathering.
In this summer’s outbreak
linked to salmonella in eggs,
several illnesses were first
identified in clusters among
restaurant patrons.
But experts believe the
bulk of food poisonings are
unreported illnesses from
food prepared at home.
The study is being pub-
lished in Morbidity and
Mortality Weekly Report,
a publication of the Centers
for Disease Control and
Prevention.

and CRISTIAN SALAZAR
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — The devel-
opers planning to build a $100
million Islamic center near the
World Trade Center site still
have financial hurdles to clear:
They haven’t finished buying
all the property they want for
the project and are nearly a
quarter-million dollars behind
on real estate taxes and late
fees.
How serious those prob-
lems might be depends on who
is backing the project — and
that’s still a big unknown.
The real estate partnership
that controls the site of the
planned cultural center, health
club and mosque insists it has
the financial wherewithal to
put the project together, and
that its failure to pay its first
two quarterly property tax pay-
ments this year is not evidence
of fiscal ill health.
The entity that owns
the building, 45 Park Place
Partners LLC, has an inter-
est-fattened $236,327 tax bill
looming on Oct. 1, according
to city records.
The Manhattan real estate
firm that put together the build-
ing purchase, Soho Properties,
issued a statement through
a spokesman that waved off
concerns over the missed pay-
ments and said it’s not in finan-
cial distress.
The lack of payment result-
ed from an ongoing dispute
with the city over the assessed
value of the building, the com-
pany said. In such disputes,
it is not unusual for building
owners to temporarily suspend
payments, the company said.
“This matter will be resolved

shortly,” the statement said.
An Associated Press review
of city tax and property data-
bases found that hundreds of
thousands of dollars in taxes
due on other buildings con-
trolled by Soho Properties and
its managing partner, Sharif
El-Gamal, have been paid on
time this year, although in a
few instances the payments
were slightly less than the total
owed.
El-Gamal, a Brooklyn-born
Manhattan real estate investor,
has put together a modest real
estate portfolio over the past
four years, and leads the invest-
ment group that bought the site
of the planned Islamic center
last summer for $4.5 million.
He has declined to identify
other investors in the project,
saying only that the group
includes Christians, Muslims
and Jews.
Soho Properties says it
owns or manages about $200
million worth of real estate in
Manhattan.
Its holdings include a com-
mercial building in midtown
Manhattan, luxury condo-
miniums, and a few well-worn
apartment buildings with a
long history of housing code
violations, many of which pre-
dated the company’s purchase
of the properties but have
either worsened or have yet to
be corrected.
The tax debt on the site
of the planned Islamic center
was first reported by The New
York Post.
Adelaide Polsinelli, a real
estate broker with Marcus &
Millichap who knows El-Gamal,
said she didn’t consider the back
taxes to be a stumbling point for
the developers.
“If they were behind by

The Herald — 9
years, I would be worried,” she
said. “That’s not a big amount
of money, and they’re not
going to lose their properties
for that small of an amount.”
As for the El-Gamal’s
wherewithal to pull off the
project, Polsinelli said, “They
are not novices. They have
done real estate. ... The added
publicity will attract investors
to the deal.”
The proposed center has
been fiercely criticized by peo-
ple opposed to the idea of an
Islamic institution and mosque
so close to the 9/11 site.
Half the property for the
13-story center is owned
by Consolidated Edison.
El-Gamal has already obtained
a 99-year lease from the util-
ity that would allow the center
to be constructed without the
property changing hands, but
he is the process of exercis-
ing an option to buy the land
outright, which will likely cost
millions of dollars.
Once property ownership is
wrapped up, it is unclear who
would pay for the estimated
$100 million cost of the new
center.
El-Gamal has established a
nonprofit group called Park51
to run the center, but its exact
role in pushing the project for-
ward has yet to be defined. It
only began raising money on
Friday.
The project’s other public
face, longtime Manhattan Imam
Feisal Abdul Rauf, is respected
by New York City leaders and
has shown a knack for fundrais-
ing in the past — gathering
hundreds of thousands of dol-
lars from charities and founda-
tions around the world to fund
conferences on Islam and its
relationship with the west.

Feds sue Arizona sheriff in civil rights probe

By AMANDA LEE MYERS
and PAUL DAVENPORT
The Associated Press
PHOENIX — The Justice Department
sued the nation’s self-proclaimed “toughest
sheriff” on Thursday, calling Joe Arpaio’s
defiance of an investigation into his office’s
alleged discrimination against Hispanics
“unprecedented.”
It’s the first time in decades a lawman has
refused to cooperate in one of the agency’s
probes, the department said.
The Arizona sheriff had been given until
Aug. 17 to hand over documents the federal
government first asked for 15 months ago,
when it started investigating alleged dis-
crimination, unconstitutional searches and
seizures, and jail policies that discriminate
against people with limited English skills.
Thomas Perez, assistant attorney general
for the department’s civil rights division, said
get the documents, which neither the agency
nor Arpaio would describe.
But Arpaio called the lawsuit “a ruse” and
said the federal government is just trying to
score a win against the state, which has found
itself at the center of the nation’s argument
over illegal immigration since passing a law
that mirrors many of the policies Arpaio has
put into place in the greater Phoenix area.
“I think they know we have not been racial
profiling, so what’s the next step — camou-
flage the situation, go to the courts, and make
it look like I’m not cooperating,” Arpaio said
Thursday.
Arpaio said he provided “hundreds of
thousands” of reports but hasn’t turned over
others because the department’s request was
too broad.
Kevin Ryan, former U.S. attorney for the
Northern District of California and a law pro-
fessor at the University of San Francisco, said
he thought the department’s characterization
overstating it.
He said the contentious relationship
between the sheriff and the department is no
secret.
“You really can’t hold it against the sheriff
and assume he’s guilty because he’s not roll-
ing over for the Justice Department,” he said.
But Rory Little, a law professor at the
University of California Hastings College of
the Law who formerly worked at the Justice
Department, disagreed, called Arpaio’s
actions “pretty unusual” because the lawsuit
says Arpaio’s office signed agreements prom-
ising to cooperate with civil-rights investiga-
tions and other reviews when it accepted
federal law enforcement grants.
Last year, the nearly $113 million that
Maricopa County received from the federal
government accounted for about 5 percent
of the county’s $2 billion budget. The law-
suit listed $16.5 million of funding provided
Arpaio’s office through several programs.
in grants you’re going to cooperate and send
over whatever they want to see,” Little said.
Otherwise, “it raises the level of suspicion
pretty significantly.”
He also said it’s rare for a law enforcement
agency to push the department all the way to
a lawsuit.
“Cooperating with the Department of
Justice is usually not a bad thing so long as
you’re not the target of a criminal investiga-
tion, and the federal government has a lot of
power in terms of grants and you don’t want
to get on their bad side,” he said.
Arpaio believes the department’s inquiry
is focused on his immigration sweeps, patrols
where deputies flood an area of a city — in
some cases heavily Latino areas — to seek
out traffic violators and arrest other offend-
ers.
Critics say the deputies pull people over
for minor traffic infractions because of the
color of their skin so they can ask them for

Pearl Harbor marks 65th

in Miami airport scare
By JENNIFER KAY
The Associated Press
MIAMI — A scientist has been detained at
the Miami International Airport after screen-
ers spotted a metal canister in his luggage that
looked like a pipe bomb, prompting an evacu-
ation, a government official said.
The FBI and Miami-Dade police were
interviewing the 70-year-old man, the official
said today. No explosives have been found.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity
to discuss the ongoing investigation.
The man being questioned at the airport
is an American citizen, FBI agent Michael
Leverock said at a news conference in
Miami.
“He’s being very cooperative,” Leverock
said. “He’s not under arrest at this time.”
Leverock said the man was on a flight that
flew into Miami but would not say where he
flew from.
The item found in the man’s luggage
has been brought to a lab for more testing,
Leverock said.
“We don’t know if a crime has been com-
mitted here,” he said.
A police bomb squad spent hours scouring
the airport and passengers had to be evacu-
ated from four of the airport’s six concourses
Thursday night and airport roadways were
closed down, police and airport officials said.
They described the shutdown of the concours-
es as a public safety precaution.
The airport fully reopened just after 4
a.m. today before the first scheduled morn-
ing departures, which signaled the start of the
peak Labor Day weekend.
“Everything’s back to normal,” airport
spokesman Greg Chin told The Associated
Press soon after the closed concourses
reopened.
He said the end of the evacuation order
largely coincided with the nighttime drop-off
in flights. Passengers, workers and others
were allowed back in just as the airport was
expecting the first of 1,500 passengers on
flights between 4 a.m. and 6 a.m. alone — and
more thereafter.
The Miami International Airport Hotel,
which is located near the airport’s internation-
al terminal, was also evacuated, Chin said.
The Transportation Security Administration
declined to identify the passenger, saying in a
terse statement that the screener spotted some-
thing suspicious in a checked back at about 9
p.m. Thursday.
The federal agency responsible for air
travel security said four of the six concourses
in the 2-mile long complex — Terminals E,
F, G, and H — had been evacuated beginning
late Thursday.
Miami-Dade Police said a bomb squad
spent hours at the airport with fire officials
and the others. Fire trucks and police vehicles
stood by and a hazardous material team was
spotted at the scene.
Police spokesman Alvaro Zableta had
urged those with scheduled departures today
to check with local air carriers.
Chin said between 100 and 200 passengers
were evacuated initially.

PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii — Like many
other vets, Don Fosburg marked the anniver-
sary of World War II’s end reflecting on a
victory dearly earned and on men who helped
make that happen but never came home.
“You start to thinking about the guys that
you knew. You can’t help but do that. And
maybe you think you’re pretty lucky,” said the
84-year-old, who was a radioman aboard the
USS Missouri during the war.
“I had a cousin who was on Bataan and
didn’t survive. His brother was blown up off
the coast of Africa,” said Fosburg, a retired
insurance broker from Whittier, Calif.
He returned to the Missouri — now a
museum moored in Pearl Harbor — for a
ceremony Thursday commemorating 6 1/2
decades since Japan formally signed surrender
papers on board the battleship when it was
anchored in Tokyo Bay on Sept. 2, 1945.
Fosburg remembered the mood being
calmer than some two weeks before that occa-
sion, on the night of Aug. 15, when sailors
cheered and hollered after a fellow radioman
got word Japan had agreed to unconditionally
surrender.
“He woke me up: ’They’ve accepted the
surrender. The war is over!’ Then it went
through the ship, and it was quite a bit of cel-
ebration,” Fosburg said. “It woke everybody
up.”
Veterans Secretary Eric Shinseki, who
delivered the keynote address, hailed the sac-
rifices of those who fought on Pacific atolls,
European forests and manned supply depots
and refueling stations.
“All great leaders know the mightiest
undertakings succeed because of the strength
and courage, determination and sacrifice, of
men and women whose names will never be
recorded in history books or memorialized in
museums,” said Shinseki, a retired four-star
general.
The Missouri today sits just behind the
USS Arizona, which sank in the Japanese
attack that pushed the U.S. into the war in
1941. Sen. Daniel Inouye, who was awarded
the Medal of Honor for his heroism in Italy,
told the crowd the two ships are the bookends
of World War II.
The Arizona represents the sacrifice and
resilient spirit of the American people, while
the Missouri speaks of America’s triumphant
victory, he said.
“They send a strong message to our allies,
while cautioning potential enemies, that we
can endure hardships, that we persevere and,
yes, we will emerge victorious,” Inouye said.
The “Mighty Mo” was launched in 1944
and fought in the battles of Iwo Jima and
Okinawa. It was decommissioned in 1955 but
revived in the 1980s, after which it fired some
of the first shots of the Gulf War in 1991.
The battleship went into dry dock last year
for three months of sanding and painting to
remove rust that had built up on the ship’s
hull. The $18 million overhaul was its first in
17 years.
One of the Missouri’s wartime crew,
94-year-old Frank Borrell, said he was see-
ing his battleship for the last time. Borrell has
been diagnosed with lung cancer and was told
he has four months to live.
“I told my wife, ’Before I die, I want to see
my ship again,”’ Borrell said. “This couldn’t
have been a better place for me to see it.”
The Beacon, N.Y. native, now retired to
Orlando, Fla., came to Hawaii with the help
of the Dream Foundation, a California-based
nonprofit that grants wishes to adults facing
life-threatening illnesses.

BUXTON, N.C. — The
last ferry left for the mainland
and coastal residents hunkered
down at home as Hurricane Earl
closed in with 105 mph winds
today on North Carolina’s
dangerously exposed Outer
Banks, the first and perhaps
most destructive stop on the
storm’s projected journey up
the Eastern Seaboard.
The hurricane’s squalls
began to lash the long ribbon
of barrier islands. Gusts above
40 mph made signs shake and
the heavy rain fall sideways in
Buxton, the southeasternmost
tip of the Outer Banks.
Hurricane Earl’s winds
were slowing, from 140 mph
early Thursday to 105 mph,
Category 2 strength, later.
But forecasters warned that it
remained powerful, with hur-
ricane-force winds of 74 mph
or more extending 70 miles
from its center and tropical
storm-force winds of at least
35 mph reaching more than
200 miles out.
“It’s interesting to me to
just see what Mother Nature
can do,” said Jay Lopez, 36,
of Frisco, as the wind howled
through Buxton.
Federal, state and local
authorities were waiting for
daybreak to begin patrolling
the coast to check for damage.
But National Weather
Service meterologist Chris
Collins said early today that
Earl had produced little storm
surge and only minor flood-
ing in some coastal counties.
Predictions of storm surges
between 2 and 4 feet may be
generous, he said.
The Coast Guard planned
an airplane flyover of the Outer
Banks and were prepared for
search-and-rescue helicopter
flights.
Collins said the eye of
the hurricane was expected
to get about100 miles east of
the Outer Banks about 2 a.m.
today. Earlier, forecasters said still be a hurricane, said hurri-
