HERALD
Ditto speaks out about assault, drugs
BY MIKE FORD mford@delphosherald.com DELPHOS Increasing narcotic use in Americas Friendliest City has many residents concerned, especially those who live in neighborhoods that were once among the nicest in the community. Others are still as picturesque as a Norman Rockwell painting except for one or two properties that may seem to be a magnet for criminals. Margaret Ditto, 88, says her area of Dewey Street is one example. She says her house is in a great neighborhood, home mostly to retirees who keep their properties in good condition. However, 619 Dewey St. is a rental property Ditto says has been a drug house for many years. It is a duplex and one of the recent inhabitants now sits in the Allen County Justice Center for assaulting her inside her home. She explains what happened on the night of July 21: The doorbell rang, so I got up and walked to the door. I saw a man standing there who I did not know. I opened the door and I shouldnt have that was a mistake. He said he wanted to use the phone. I said well, I cant let you in. He said I want to come in. He persisted; he wanted to use the phone. I said I cant let you in, so he forced his way in then and began to punch me out he was like a maniac. He was on several different drugs at the same time, she said. He knocked me down to the floor and I struggled to get up. He knocked me down a second and third time and I struggled; there was a chair right there and I just hung on to it. He knocked me down for the fourth time and went to another part of the house to look for money Delphos, Ohio

Margaret Ditto or things he could sell to turn into money. It took me some time to get myself together and get back on my feet but with him in another part of the house, I could get out the door and into the yard. I was in hysterics. I was screaming and there were cars going by. Two of them stopped right there on the curb and asked what happened. I told them a few things and they called the police on their cell phones. Dittos chin and arms are bruised but the cuts are healing. She sprained her ankle; her back is sore and she has trouble getting dressed. She is also having nightmares but remains of strong mind and will. She is concerned for the safety and well-being of her neighbors, whom she says live in fear because of drug activity by a revolving door of renters at 619 Dewey St. Its common knowledge that has been a drug house for years. The police patrol the area day and night; I always see them going by but these guys stay inside most of the time. You dont often see them out, so I suppose the police never had enough information or evidence to put them behind bars, she said. Several persons have lived See DITTO, page 2

Lucas confessed to being under the influence of bath salts and other drugs, as well as assaulting Ditto after he knocked on the front door of her Dewey Street home on July 21.

We have about the same number of people coming in as we always have, Senior Citizens Center Director Joyce Hale said. Last Friday we may have had a few more people for cards than we usually do but to tell you the truth, I think theyre all staying home. Several years ago they gave away air conditioners and I think a lot of our people got some of them, so I think they just stay home in the air conditioning. Of course, our transportation services are just as popular as always. If they have to go to the doctor, the weather doesnt matter. Delphos Public Library Director Nancy Mericle says the library has been experiencing increased popularity but she believes it isnt just the heat. It does seem like weve been busier this summer, she said. Our reading program was very successful and the other day, we were extremely busy, Im not really sure why. I think its safe to say its at least partly to do with the heat, but I think its also to do with the economy. People just arent going anywhere for vacation, theyre staying home and finding ways to enjoy themselves.

On the night that led to the felonious assault charge he now faces, Lucas was denied access to Dittos landline telephone and proceeded to forcibly enter the residence by repeatedly punching Ditto in the face. She fell down during the incident and made her way to the front lawn while Lucas rummaged through her homes contents. A passerby saw her, stopped to help and called police, who arrested Lucas within hours. Ditto was taken to St. Ritas Medical Center, where she remained overnight. She returned Sunday with mobility-related challenges, as well as pain and soreness.

At 4:35 a.m. on Wednesday while on patrol, Delphos police came into contact with Shawna Clark, 34, of Delphos, at which time officers found Clark to be operating a motor vehicle outside of the driving privileges she was limited to on a prior suspension. Officers also found probable cause to cite Clark on charges of operating a motor vehicle while impaired and discovered controlled substances in the vehicle Clark was driving. Additional felony charges are expected to be filed in relations to these controlled substances. Clark was taken into custody by officers and was later transported to the Van Wert County Jail and will appear in Van Wert Municipal Court on charges.

He told police his parents kicked him out of their home and he was crashing with friends at the apartment. Fittro said which persons live there from one day to the next changes so frequently, the department has a hard time keeping up with it. He said it is a cancer in an otherwise healthy body because every other property in the neighborhood is neat and owned by upstanding citizens. Fittro says 619 Dewey St. is just one example of a problem several neighborhoods are facing. Work as hard as they might, police cannot do what landlords can prevent uncivil and misbehaving people from infecting a neighborhood by screening them properly. Fittro says they can do this very easily by calling him. I have forever told landlords that if they have questions about a respective tenant, please call me. Run the name by me and I will tell you everything that is part of the public record prior arrests, prior convictions and so forth. Some landlords do but more of them dont and this particular landlord doesnt. This is what it all boils down to landlords have to care more about what type of people they rent to, he concluded.

The following individuals appeared Wednesday before Judge Charles Steele in Van Wert County Common Pleas Court: A jury trial scheduled to start Thursday morning was averted with a change of plea by Jeremy Neeley, 24, of Van Wert. Neeley was scheduled to stand trial on two counts of rape, which carried a possible a sentence of 15 years to life in prison. Assistant Van Wert County Prosecuting Attorney Kevin H. Taylor removed the specification of the indictment which stated the victim was under the age of 10 years and told Judge Steele that the State of Ohio would recommend a sentence of eight years. According to a Van Wert City Police Department investigation, Neeley had sexual contact with a victim under the age of 10 during the early part of 2011. Judge Steele ordered a pre-sentence investigation and scheduled sentencing for 9 a.m. Sept. 21. Rory J.

SOUTH EUCLID (AP) Families are doing double duty this summer at an Ohio pool with four sets of twins on staff. The crew at the Bexley Park Pool near Cleveland includes two sets of identical twins: 17-year-olds Anna and Maia Wachter, and 18-year-olds Ariana and Amara Jester. Pool manager Lauren Meek tells The Plain Dealer newspaper of Cleveland she has no trouble telling the Jesters apart but can get confused by the Wachter girls, both lifeguards. The pools two other pairs are fraternal twins. Meek says its common for siblings to work at the pool but having four sets of twins is very unusual. The pool in South Euclid has 34 employees, meaning nearly one out of every four is a twin.

High temperature Wednesday in Delphos was 88 degrees, low was 62. Rainfall was recorded at .08 inch. High a year ago today was 91, low was 70. Record high for today is 98, set in 1916. Record low is 51, set in 1928. WEATHER FORECAST Tri-county Associated Press

Dear EarthTalk: Ive been hearing more and more references to the need to clean up our agricultural practices for reasons pertaining to health, food quality, even global warming. What are the major environmental issues today associated with agriculture? Tony Grayson, Newark, NJ What amazes many environmental advocates to this day is how the widespread adoption of synthetic chemical pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers for use in agriculture was dubbed the Green Revolution, when in fact this post-World War II paradigm shift in the way we produce food has wreaked untold havoc on the environment, food quality and human health. Agricultural output has certainly increased as a result of these changes, but with the vast majority of the worlds farms now relying on petroleum-derived synthetic chemicals to grow crops and petroleum-derived fuels to drive the engines of productionmodern agriculture has become overwhelmingly toxic to the atmosphere and is hastening global warming. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports that agricultural land use contributes 12 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions; here in the U.S. almost 20 percent of our carbon dioxide emissions come from agricultural sources. Intensive use of chemicals isnt good for our nutrition intake, either. Overworked, depleted agricultural soils generate fruits and vegetables with fewer nutrients and minerals than those produced by farmers decades ago. And much of the food we eat is laced with chemicals that end up in our bloodstreams. Beyond its effect on the food we put in our bodies,

With the vast majority of the worlds farms now relying on synthetic chemicals to grow crops and petroleumderived fuels to drive the engines of production, modern agriculture has become overwhelmingly toxic to the atmosphere and is hastening global warming. Pictured: a crop duster in Tennessee. modern agriculture generates large amounts of nitrogen, phosphorous and other fertilizers running off into our streams, rivers and oceans, compromising not only the quality of our drinking water and the health of riparian ecosystems, but also causing those huge oxygen-depleted ocean dead zones we hear about in coastal areas such as the Gulf of Mexico. Yet another issue with modern farming is the amount of animal waste generated and concentrated in small areas, which creates unsanitary and potentially dangerous conditions for the animals and humans alike. And the widespread use of antibiotics on farm animals to keep disease in check results in the development of stronger strains of bacteria that resist the antibiotics used by humans to ward off infection and sickness. Also, many worry about the potential impacts of the widespread use of genetic engineering, whereby genes in plants, animals and microorganisms are manipulated to select for specific traits. These genetically modified organisms, reports Greenpeace, can spread through nature and interbreed with natural organisms, thus contaminating the natural environment in unforeseeable and uncontrollable ways. The good news is that rapidly increasing consumer demand for healthier food is forcing agribusiness to see the wisdom of moving away from business-as-usual. Organic farming, which eschews chemical fertilizers and pesticides in favor of more natural choices, holds considerable promise for greening up our agricultural systems. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, organic cropland acreage averaged 15 percent increases between 2002 and 2008, although certified organic cropland and pasture accounted for only about 0.6 percent of U.S. total farmland in 2008. So we still have along way to go.

Beware of monotony; its the mother of all the deadly sins. Edith Wharton, American author (1862-1937)

House GOP sets vote on revamped debt-limit bill

By ANDREW TAYLOR Associated Press WASHINGTON House Republicans are pressing ahead with a vote on a newly modified plan to stave off an unprecedented government default next week even though the legislation faces a White House veto threat and unanimous opposition among Senate Democrats. As the House prepared to vote today, investor worries that a dysfunctional Congress might remain gridlocked sent stocks plunging. The Dow Jones industrial average dropped almost 200 points Wednesday, on top of a 92-point drop the day before. House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, made headway with balky conservatives unhappy that the measure contains smaller spending cuts than a more stringent debt measure that passed the House last week. The new measure depends on caps on agency budgets to cut more than $900 billion from the deficit over the coming decade while permitting a commensurate increase in the nations borrowing to allow the government to pay its bills. Boehner acknowledged that the measure was hardly perfect but represented the best opportunity we have to hold the presidents feet to the fire. He wants a $2.4 trillion blank check that lets him continue his spending binge through the next election. This is the time to say no. Boehner made the comments Wednesday to conservative radio host Laura Ingraham. The White House threatened a veto, saying the bill did not meet President Barack Obamas demand for an increase in the debt limit large enough to prevent a rerun of the current crisis next year, in the heat of the 2012 election campaign. Instead, Obama supports an alternative drafted by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., that contains comparable cuts to agency operating budgets but also claims savings from lowball estimates of war costs. Reids plan would provide a record-breaking $2.7 trillion in additional borrowing authority, enough to tide the government over through 2012. Reid, however, is plainly short of the votes needed to overcome a GOP filibuster. While Boehner holds out hope that the Senate will pass his measure, a more likely outcome is a last-ditch effort to find a compromise. In fact, Boehners plan has enough in common with Reids including the establishment of a special congressional panel to recommend additional spending cuts this fall that Reid hinted a compromise could be easy to snap together.

One Year Ago The Delphos Sisters of Notre Dame welcomed seven fellow sisters from Germany on Tuesday morning and provided them with a tour of the St. Johns Cathedral. Margaret Fischer acted as tour guide. 25 Years Ago 1986 A 1934 Ford 3WD owned by Gail Allen of Harrod won the best of show trophy at the Delphos Area Car Clubs annual show and swap meet. Allen was attending his third Delphos show. Last year he took first place in one of the categories with a 1931 Model A. Delphos Braves won the Tri-County Little League Tournament, defeating Middle Point 4-0. Members of the Braves are Dave Blockberger, Ryan Kimmet, Mike Sellers, Matt Kill, Luke Vonderwell, Ted Vonderwell, Scott Geier, Mark Ridgeway, Kevin Wieging, Russ Noonan, batboy Chad Geier and coaches Roger Wilhelm, Dave Fought and Jim Friemoth. St. Johns varsity football cheerleaders won the spirit award for the week they attended the Universal Cheerleaders Association camp at Otterbein College. They also won five superior ribbons, two excellents and one outstanding. Cheerleaders are Julie Jackson, Cheryl Wiechart, Lisa Schimmoeller, Kelly Alder, Shannon Wieging and Brenda Stepleton. 50 Years Ago 1961 Fred Rexs Nite Owls from Lima will play for the interparish high school dance which will be held tonight in the gymnasium of St. Johns School. On Saturday night there will be a CYC dance at the Knights of Columbus club rooms on Elida Avenue. Karl Beachs orchestra of Lima will provide the music. Word has been received that Daniel Allemeier, 12-yearold son of Major and Mrs. Ralph Allemeier, has been named to the Little League All-Star Team in Goppinghen, Germany. He arrived in Germany last September when his father was transferred to the Headquarters of the Fourth Quartermaster Battalion at Goppinghen. Young Allemeier is the grandson of Lena Allemeier of Delphos. The Delphos Future Farmers of America will sponsor their annual showmanship contest for members of the FFA and 4-H clubs July 30 in the Cletus Baumgarte woods located west of the city on State Route 697. The judge of the contest will be Robert McBride, the new vocational-agriculture teacher in the Delphos schools. 75 Years Ago 1936 Jimmy Lang, son of Mr. and Mrs. Otto Lang, well-known Delphos amateur baseball pitcher, was the deciding factor in bringing victory to the Lima American Legion baseball team which is competing in the state tournament at Columbus. Lang pitched three hit ball against the Columbus Franklin Post team Monday afternoon. He struck out 12 batters. As a result of their 2 to 1 victory, Lima advanced to the second round and will play Sandusky this afternoon. Extensive improvements are being made by Lee Vogt and Arthur Eickholt at their establishment on East Second. To make way for these improvements, they have leased the room used by the Vogue Hat Shop. An archway will join the two rooms. The new palace will include a stag room and a room for ladies and men. The place will be known as the Vogt and Eickholt Grill. A summer festival will be staged at Ottoville this coming Sunday under the sponsorship of Immaculate Conception parish. Delicious chicken suppers will be served in the school gymnasium. A decidedly favorable feature of the festival is the process of air-conditioning, which will be put in use provided the weather is hot.

IT WAS NEWS THEN

Romney looks past primary

Moderately confused

PATASKALA, Ohio (AP) Forget his GOP primary opponents. Republican front-runner Mitt Romney is focused on a match-up against President Barack Obama. The president when he was a candidate said that he was going to take China to the mat, the former Massachusetts governor said Wednesday at a manufacturing plant here. Well, Im afraid most of us thought he meant the wrestling mat. But instead he and we have been taken to the door mat. Romneys take on Obamas economic record in a general election battleground shined a light on his strategy as he leads the Republican field in polls and money five months before primary voting is to begin: ignore swipes from his GOP rivals, criticize the Democratic president on the economy, and campaign in important presidential swing states seemingly as often as states that vote early in the GOP primary. Its a sharp contrast to Romneys approach four years ago when he ran for the Republican nomination as a virtual unknown and tried to unsuccessfully beat the 2008 leader of the GOP pack John McCain. This year, its Romney who leads the Republican Party that typically nominates the candidate who ran and lost once before. His standing has afforded him the luxury of watching as GOP rivals like Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann and former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty try to emerge as the alternative choice of primary voters. Not that Romney will publically acknowledge that hes focused on November 2012 and Obama; doing so would enflame Republicans in Iowa, New Hampshire and other early voting states and create an aura of inevitability that has destroyed other front-runners before him, like Hillary Rodham Clinton during the Democratic primary in 2008. Perhaps mindful of all that, Romney said Wednesday in a state that isnt slated to hold its GOP primary until May that: Ive got to win the primaries first. Thats job one. Then comes job two, which is winning the general. His strategy, to be sure, could change if new and potentially more exciting players join the race. Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has scheduled a visit to Iowa in September, a hint shes more seriously weighing a campaign. And advisers to Texas Gov. Rick Perry are laying the groundwork should he decide to become a presidential contender. For now, at least, Romneys acting like the front-runner. Four years ago, Romney weighed in on every issue every day. Today, he picks his moments and speaks on topics that he deems most important. The former business executive has offered his opinions only when they suit his main argument for a Romney White House: that the nation needs a president who is a master of the economy.

Govt: Health tab to hit $4.6T in 2020

By RICARDO ALONSOZALDIVAR Associated Press WASHINGTON The nations health care tab is on track to hit $4.6 trillion in 2020, accounting for about $1 of every $5 in the economy, government number crunchers estimate in a report out today. How much is that? Including government and private money, health care spending in 2020 will average $13,710 for every man, woman and child, says Medicares Office of the Actuary. By comparison, U.S. health care spending this year is projected to top $2.7 trillion, or about $8,650 per capita, roughly $1 of $6 in the economy. Most of that spending is for care for the sickest people. The report from Medicare economists and statisticians is an annual barometer of a trend that many experts say is unsustainable but doesnt seem to be slowing down. A political compromise over the nations debt and deficits might succeed in tapping the brakes on health care, but polarized lawmakers have been unable to deliver a deal. The analysis found that President Barack Obamas health care overhaul would only be a modest contribuBy CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER AP Economics Writer tor to growing costs, even though an additional 30 million people who would be otherwise uninsured stand to gain coverage. The main reasons that health care spending keeps growing faster than the economy are the high cost of medical innovations and an aging society that consumes increasing levels of service. Many of the newly insured people under the health care law will be younger and healthier. As a result, they are expected to use more doctor visits and prescription drugs and relatively less of pricey hospital care. Health care spending will jump by 8 percent in 2014, when the laws coverage expansion kicks in. But over the 2010-2020 period covered by the estimate, the average yearly growth in health care spending will be only 0.1 percentage point higher than without Obamas overhaul. Part of the reason for that optimistic prognosis is that cuts and cost controls in the health care law start to bite down late in the decade. However, the same nonpartisan Medicare experts who produced todays estimate have previously questioned whether that austerity will be politically sustainable if hospitals and other providers start going out of business as other long-lasting manufactured goods in June. Orders for durable goods fell 2.1 percent, the department said. It was the second drop in three months. The decline was driven by a big drop in orders for commercial aircraft. Orders for autos, auto parts and computers also fell. And a key category that tracks business investment plans dropped 0.4 percent. The Feds report found that the job market remained weak in most of the 12 districts. Hiring was scant, for example, in the Boston district, except among advertising and consulting firms. Consumer spending improved, aided by a drop in gas prices, which had peaked at nearly $4 a gallon in early May. But auto sales dropped. Supplies at many dealers remained tight because of disruptions stemming from Japans March 11 earthquake. Sales of cheaper goods were strong in the Kansas City district, but sales of many luxury items there remained sluggish, the Fed said. Droughts and severe flooding weakened seven districts with major agricultural sec-

Magic things can happen here in Congress in a very short period of time under the right circumstances, Reid told reporters. Unless Congress acts by Tuesday, administration officials say, the government will not be able to pay all its bills. They include $23 billion in Social Security benefits due Aug. 3, an $87 billion payment to investors to redeem maturing Treasury securities and more than $30 billion in interest payments that come due Aug. 15. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and other officials warn that a default could prove catastrophic for an economy still recovering from the worst recession in decades. But some skeptics, including conservative Republicans like Sen. Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania, say Geithner can manage Treasurys cash flow to avoid a catastrophe if Congress fails to act. House Republicans tweaked their measure Wednesday to enhance its prospects of passage after a worse-than expected cost estimate from congressional budget analysts on Tuesday. The changes were modest, but under arcane budget conventions, they brought projected savings for 2012 to $22 billion, part of a 10-year cut of $917 billion. That would trigger a $900 billion increase in the debt limit.

Fed survey: Growth slows across much of the US

WASHINGTON The economy worsened in much of the country earlier this summer, hampered by high unemployment, weak home sales and signs of a slowdown in manufacturing. A survey by the Federal Reserve, released Wednesday, found that weak consumer spending, slow job growth and tight credit are restraining growth into the second half of the year. Growth slowed in eight of the Feds 12 bank regions in June and early July, the report found, compared with the spring. That marked the worst showing this year. The Feds survey found that factory output weakened in some areas. Thats likely to heighten concerns that manufacturing, one of the economys few bright spots over the past two years, is sputtering. Further such evidence came in a separate report Wednesday from the Commerce Department, which found that businesses reduced orders for airplanes, autos, heavy machinery and

a result. The actuarys office is responsible for long-range cost estimates. The report found that health care spending in 2010 grew at a historically low rate of 3.9 percent, partly because of the sluggish economy. That will change as the economy shakes off the lingering effects of the recession. Government, already the dominant player because of Medicare and Medicaid, will become even more important. By 2020, federal, state and local government health care spending will account for just under half the total tab, up from 45 percent currently. As the health care laws coverage expansion takes effect, health care financing is anticipated to further shift toward governments, the report said. Estimates from previous years had projected that the government share would already be at the 50 percent mark, but the actuarys office changed its method for making the complex calculations. Under the previous approach, some private payments such as workers compensation insurance had been counted in the government column. Technical accuracy not political pressure was behind that change, said Stephen Heffler, one of the experts who work on the estimates. tors, the report said. Manufacturing output rose overall. But many districts reported only steady or slowing growth, the Feds report said. Only two districts Kansas City and Cleveland reported rising manufacturing activity. Companies in three districts Philadelphia, Richmond and Atlanta reported slower growth. Manufacturers in the Philadelphia region reported a lull in demand, the report said. Companies that make clothing, food, steel and other metals, and electronics reported slower sales, while furniture makers, printers and publishers said demand rose. The overall dim picture of the national economy echoes recent data on hiring and manufacturing. Economists expect growth for the AprilJune quarter, which will be reported Friday, will be only 1.7 percent, the second straight quarter of anemic expansion. In June, employers added only 18,000 jobs, the fewest in nine months. And the unemployment rate rose to 9.2 percent, the highest in a year.

DEFIANCE The Defiance College athletics department and head swimming and diving coach Tyler Dixon have announced the addition of Chelsea Colton as the first diving coach in program history.

Chelsea Colton I am ecstatic about coming to Defiance to pursue my masters degree in business administration and to help Coach Dixon with the task of building the swimming and diving teams here at DC, stated Colton. I am so pleased to have gotten this opportunity and I look forward to getting started. Colton graduated in May from State University of New York at Oswego with degrees in economics and German language and literature. During her time at SUNY-Oswego, Colton spent one term studying abroad in Germany and competed on the womens swimming and diving team in all four years. During her time in the pool with the Lakers, Colton served as the team captain during her senior season and also qualified for the NCAA Division III Diving National Championships. Along with the individual accomplishments, Coltons team was recognized by the College Swim Coaches Association of America as a Scholar AllAmerican Team for posting a collective 3.14 grade-point average throughout the 20102011 campaign. I feel very fortunate to have added Chelsea to the

Pat Sullivan her as our first diving coach. The Defiance College mens and womens swimming and diving teams will compete in their inaugural season in 2011-12, with the first event slated for a meet with Franklin College on November 5. As well, the DC athletics department announced that Pat Sullivan will remain on staff in a full-time capacity with the mens basketball and mens golf programs, as well as with additional responsibilities of assisting the director of retention in his new role as an academic support coordinator. Sullivan served on the mens basketball coaching staff during the past two years while working towards his masters degree in education from DC. I am extremely excited about adding Coach Sullivan as a full-time member of our Defiance College staff. This is something that we have worked toward for several years at DC, said mens basketball head coach Kyle Brumett. We have seen excellent assistants come and go during Coach Palombos, Coach Millers and my time at Defiance and it will be great to reap the benefits of what Pat

NL Capsules By The Associated Press PHILADELPHIA Matt Cain pitched into the eighth inning to outduel Cole Hamels and lead the San Francisco Giants to a 2-1 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday night. The NL West leaders won for the third time in four games, and big-name help was on the way. The defending World Series champions agreed to a trade with the Mets for All-Star slugger Carlos Beltran, who told his New York teammates he had waived his no-trade clause and accepted the deal. The trade was expected to be announced early Thursday. Without Beltran, the Giants scratched out two runs to deny Hamels (12-6) his NL-best 13th win. San Francisco could have Tim Lincecum back on the mound for the series finale Thursday. The floppy-haired ace was scratched from his start Tuesday because of an illness, but manager Bruce Bochy was hopeful he would start the finale. With Lincecum out, Cain (9-6) had his start moved up a day and again quieted Philadelphias bats. He allowed an unearned run and four hits. Javier Lopez got three outs and Brian Wilson finished for his 32nd save. Mets 8, Reds 2 CINCINNATI Lucas Duda took over for Carlos Beltran and homered to help the New York Mets beat Cincinnati. Beltran showed up in the clubhouse before the game to say goodbye to his Mets teammates. Duda replaced Beltran in right field and the rookie homered off Bronson Arroyo (7-9), who couldnt extend his long run of success against New York. Mike Pelfrey (6-9) gave up seven hits in his second complete game of the season, including Joey Vottos second homer of the series. David Wright also homered and drove in four runs. Daniel Murphy had a career-high four hits. Braves 2, Pirates 1, 10 innings ATLANTA David Ross hit a basesloaded single in the 10th inning and Atlanta beat Pittsburgh for its second straight victory in extra innings. The teams played 19 innings Tuesday night before Julio Lugo scored the winning run on a disputed call at the plate that umpire Jerry Meals later acknowledged was incorrect. Ross became Atlantas starting catcher Wednesday when the Braves placed Brian McCann on the 15-day disabled list with a left oblique injury. Ross came through with two hits, driving in both Atlanta runs. Nate McLouth led off the 10th with a single off Chris Leroux (1-1), recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis before the game. McLouth advanced to third on Freddie Freemans one-out single and Leroux issued an intentional walk to Dan Uggla to load the bases for Ross. Scott Linebrink (4-2) pitched the 10th for the win. Uggla finished with three hits. Astros 4, Cardinals 2 ST. LOUIS Astros rookie Jose Altuve drove in the go-ahead run in the ninth inning with his third hit and Houston snapped a five-game losing streak with a victory over St. Louis. Jason Bourgeois also had three hits and unintentionally helped the Astros score an insurance run on Altuves hit when center fielder Jon Jays off-line throw to the plate glanced off his leg. Bourgeois jumped at the last instant before the ball struck his leg and changed course en route to the backstop. Cardinals manager Tony La Russa made an unsuccessful protest. Chris Carpenter worked seven strong innings for the Cardinals, who fell a half-game behind the Brewers for the NL Central lead hours after acquiring pitcher Edwin Jackson in a threeteam deal with the Blue Jays and White Sox that cost them outfielder Colby Rasmus. St. Louis reliever Mitchell Boggs (0-3) gave up five hits and two runs in 1 2-3 innings. Fernando Rodriguez (2-0) worked two innings in relief of Bud Norris. Albert Pujols struck out with runners on second and third against Mark Melancon, who earned his ninth save in 12 chances. Clint Barmes hit a two-run homer for Houston. Brewers 2, Cubs 0 MILWAUKEE Prince Fielder hit his 23rd home run and Rickie Weeks needed to be helped off the field when he injured his left ankle

running out a throw to first in Milwaukees victory over Chicago. Zack Greinke (8-4) pitched effectively into the seventh inning as the Brewers kept pace in the crowded NL Central, but losing Weeks would be a huge blow to their playoff chances. Fielder homered off Carlos Zambrano (7-6) to start the second before Weeks hit a bouncing ball to shortstop Starlin Castro. Weeks stretched to beat the throw, landing awkwardly at the bag and stumbling down the first-base line. The All-Star second baseman went to the hospital for further tests after being helped off the field. Brewers owner Mark Attanasio said during the game that initial X-rays showed Weeks ankle wasnt broken, but Weeks was not putting weight on the leg after the injury. John Axford converted his franchise-record 26th consecutive save. Marlins 7, Nationals 5 WASHINGTON Javier Vazquez pitched seven strong innings, Emilio Bonifacio extended his hitting streak to 25 games and Mike Cameron hit two home runs as Florida beat Washington for its fourth straight win. Vazquez (7-9) allowed one run and six hits. John Buck hit a two-run single off Livan Hernandez (5-10). Mike Stantons homer put the Marlins ahead in the second. Florida is 13-5 since July 5. Trailing 7-1, the Nationals scored four runs in the ninth off Steve Cishek. After allowing Michael Morses two-run single, Leo Nunez retired Laynce Nix on a fly to deep right to earn his 28th save in 31 chances. Washington lost for the fourth straight time, its longest skid in more than two months, and fell to 9-16 under Davey Johnson. Diamondbacks 4, Padres 3 SAN DIEGO Justin Upton homered twice and Xavier Nady added a two-run shot to lead Arizona. Ian Kennedy (12-3) won his fourth straight start, limiting San Diego to two runs and four hits with nine strikeouts over six innings. Upton reached 20 homers this season and extended his hitting streak to eight games with two solo drives off Cory Luebke (3-5). During his hitting streak, Upton is batting .567 (17 for 30) with four homers and 15 RBIs. Nady hit his fourth of the year off Luebke in the seventh to break a 2-all tie and send Arizona to its fourth straight win. J.J. Putz pitched the ninth for his 22nd save. It was Putzs first appearance after missing 20 games with right shoulder tendinitis. Luebke allowed four runs and six hits in sixplus innings. The rookie left-hander struck out six with one walk as he allowed more runs than in any of his previous five starts this season. Rockies 3, Dodgers 1 LOS ANGELES Aaron Cook outpitched Hiroki Kuroda with seven scoreless innings, Troy Tulowitzki had two RBI singles among his three hits and Colorado avoided a three-game sweep. Cook (2-5) scattered six hits, struck out two and walked two in his longest outing of an injury-delayed season. The right-hander, who missed the first two months with a broken finger on his pitching hand, has won consecutive starts after going 0-5 with a 5.82 ERA in his first seven outings. Huston Street pitched the ninth for his 27th save in 29 attempts. Kuroda (6-13) allowed one run and six hits over six innings with six strikeouts, and is 1-10 over his last 12 starts despite a 3.38 ERA during that stretch. Colorado broke through in the fifth when Tulowitzki drove in Eric Young Jr. from second with the Rockies third straight two-out single. AL Capsules CLEVELAND Ervin Santana pitched the first solo no-hitter for the Angels in nearly 27 years, striking out 10 and leading Los Angeles over Cleveland 3-1 on Wednesday. Santana allowed two runners an error on the leadoff batter that resulted in a first-inning run and a walk in the eighth. Santana (6-8) threw the Angels first complete-game no-hitter since Mike Witts perfect game on Sept. 30, 1984, against Texas. Mark Langston (7 innings) and Witt (2 innings) combined to hold Seattle hitless on April 11, 1990. This was the third no-hitter in the major leagues this season. Minnesotas Francisco Liriano did it vs the White Sox May 3 and Detroits Justin Verlander beat Toronto on May 7. This was the first no-hitter at Progressive

has learned in his two years here as a GA. Coach Sully will be an outstanding mentor for our student-athletes. This is a very positive step forward for our program. The DC mens basketball program has posted a 36-18 record with Sullivan on the staff over the past two seasons and has extended a stretch of five straight campaigns with a winning record. In Sullivans first year on the sidelines with the Purple and Gold, he helped guide the Jackets to the 2010 NCAA National Tournament and the programs 26th conference title. I am extremely excited for the opportunity to stay on here at DC and to continue my work with Coach Brumett, said Sullivan. Since my first day at Defiance, the strong tradition and great support from the Defiance community have been evident. I think the program is in a great place right now and expect to continue working towards our goals of winning Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference championships and competing on the national level on a consistent basis. While Sullivan will remain on the coaching staff with the Yellow Jacket mens hoops squad, he will also take over as an assistant coach and recruiter for the growing DC mens golf team. Pat will be a great asset for our golf program, stated head coach Fred Moore. His ability and experience in recruiting will greatly benefit the team by helping to bring in quality golfers. I am looking forward to working with Pat. The DC men finished sixth in the HCAC Mens Golf Championships in 2011, just two strokes shy of a top-five finish. A young Yellow Jacket roster won the Manchester Invitational and added three other top-5 showings in the spring. I am also pleased to get to work with Coach Moore and the mens golf team, added Sullivan. Golf has always been a sport that I have enjoyed being around and I am looking forward to helping to continue to build this program.

Field, a ballpark that opened as Jacobs Field in 1994. The last pitcher to hold the Indians hitless was Jim Abbott of the Yankees on Sept. 4, 1993. Mariners 9, Yankees 2 NEW YORK Seattle snapped its 17-game losing streak as Ichiro Suzuki and rookie Dustin Ackley led a 17-hit attack. Felix Hernandez (9-9) pitched seven innings for his third straight win in the Bronx. Suzuki had four hits and scored two runs. Ackley tripled among his three hits and drove in three runs. Seattle scored five runs off three relievers in the seventh highlighted by Mike Carps bases-loaded triple. It was the longest skid in the major leagues since Kansas City lost 19 in 2005. The Mariners came in hitting .218 during the streak. Phil Hughes (1-3) allowed nine hits and two runs over six innings. Hernandez gave up five hits, walked four and struck out five for the win. White Sox 2, Tigers 1 CHICAGO Alejandro De Aza hit a tworun homer in his first at-bat of the season for Chicago. De Aza, who was called up earlier in the day to fill a roster spot opened by a trade, connected against Max Scherzer (11-6) in the second for his first major league homer. Austin Jackson hit a leadoff homer in the seventh but that was it for Detroit against John Danks (4-8) and two relievers. Danks matched a career high with 10 strikeouts while improving to 4-0 with a 0.98 ERA in his last six starts. The left-hander allowed six hits and walked three. Scherzer (11-6) struck out eight in six innings, yielding six hits and four walks. The White Sox closed within 3 1/2 games of Detroit in the AL Central. Blue Jays 3, Orioles 0 TORONTO Ricky Romero came within two outs of a complete game to win for the first time in five starts and J.P. Arencibia homered for Toronto. Romero (8-9) struck out Adam Jones to begin the ninth, but was replaced by Jon Rauch after Vladimir Guerrero reached on a wild third strike and Derrek Lee was hit by a pitch. The left-hander allowed four hits, walked three and struck out nine. Rauch got Matt Wieters and Mark Reynolds to fly out, recording his eighth save in 12 opportunities. Romero had not won since June 26 at St. Louis, going 0-2 with a 5.87 ERA in four starts. He is 5-1 in his past seven starts against Baltimore, including 4-0 at home. Returning to the lineup one night after he was hit on the helmet by a pitch, Blue Jays slugger Jose Bautista singled home a run in the first. Orioles right-hander Alfredo Simon (2-4) allowed three runs and seven hits in five innings. Red Sox 12, Royals 5 BOSTON Bostons David Ortiz hit a grand slam to cap a five-run fourth inning and Dustin Pedroia extended his career-best hitting streak to 24 games with a solo homer. Jacoby Ellsbury and Pedroia, Bostons first two batters, homered. It was the first time since July 21, 1995, that the first two Red Sox homered. The Red Sox won for the 19th time in 23 games. Pedroia added two singles and a sacrifice fly. Adrian Gonzalez had three hits and three RBIs to raise his major-league leading total to 87. Eric Hosmer hit a three-run homer and Billy Butler added a solo shot for the Royals. John Lackey (9-8) won his fourth straight start, allowing four runs three earned and 11 hits in 5 2-3 innings. Boston had 16 hits, reaching double digits for the 11th straight home game. Bruce Chen (5-4) was tagged for 10 runs and 10 hits in four innings. Twins 7, Rangers 2 ARLINGTON, Texas Joe Mauer and Michael Cuddyer homered to back a solid start by Minnesotas Brian Duensing. Duensing (8-8) limited Texas to one run over 6 2-3 innings. Texas scored 28 runs in the first two games of the series. Colby Lewis (10-8) had won five consecutive decisions over seven starts. The righthander has allowed an AL-high 26 homers after the solo shots by Mauer and Cuddyer.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. Like father, like son. That is the hope for Elida native Kyle Miller. He hopes to follow in his father Marks National Football League footsteps as he embarks on his first training camp with the Jacksonville Jaguars today. His dad was the third-round pick of the Cleveland Browns in 1978 (68th overall) and played quarterback in 10 games during the 1978 and 1979 seasons. The only advice that he gave me was to play every play your hardest. Dont take any plays off because that is how you make or dont make the team, Kyle noted. Other than that, he really didnt say much to me because the NFL is a lot different today than it was when he played. At 6-6, 260 pounds, Kyle wont be under center. He hopes to be catching passes as a tight end from whomever is under center, be it incumbent starter David Garrard, veterans Todd Bauman, Luke McCown and Trent Edwards, first-round rookie Blaine Gabbert from Missouri or undrafted rookie Scott Riddle. They drafted me as a tight end; they currently dont have as many tight ends on the roster as other NFL teams. I have already met with the tight ends coach (Rob Boras), he explained. He will be fighting for time with incumbent starter Marcedes Lewis and veteran Zach Miller, along with third-year man Zach Porter and fellow undrafted free agent Tommy Gallarda, in offensive coordinator Dirk Koetters system. Miller feels he may have an advantage in competing for primarily the third spot; he is also a long snapper, which he did at Mount Union, a very important job in the NFL. There are some NFL teams that keep a spot open just for a long snapper.

I think that combination will help me out a lot; it gives them some flexibility, he said. Still, with training camp starting (today), they are going to be throwing a lot at us, especially the rookies. We have a morning and evening session to start and it will be plenty hot and humid, which will take some getting used to. However, its been pretty hot in Ohio this summer, so that will help. The 2011 Mount Union College graduate played in all 15 games this past season with 62 catches for 872 yards with seven touchdowns and was also the long snapper on his way to All-Ohio Athletic Conference First Team, All-North Region First Team and All-American honors. He earned his degree in Health and Physical Education and also earned Academic All-OAC, Academic AllDistrict IV and Capital One Academic AllAmerican honors this past year. For his career, he played in 47 games and had 87 catches for 1,259 yards and 16 touchdowns. He will be one of two Purple Raiders in camp for Jacksonville as wide receiver Cecil Shorts III (Cleveland/Collinwood) was the 17th pick of fourth round (pick 114 overall) in the NFL Draft this past spring. Having Cecil here will be a lot better for me. Having him here will make things a little more comfortable, especially knowing we both come from a small college, Miller continued. During the 132-day lockout, recently ended with the NFL and its Players Association signing a 10-year collective bargaining agreement, it was frustrating for Miller and a lot of other drafted and undrafted players. Before the lockout began, Jacksonville expressed a lot of interest in me. Once the lockout started, they couldnt talk to me until it was over, he added. Then, I did all I could do, which meant lifting, staying in shape and working on whatever I could. That was frustrating, so when they ended the lockout, I was relieved.

Rain, cold bring headaches for Northwest farmers

By JONATHAN J. COOPER The Associated Press TANGENT, Ore. Dennis Glasers farm should be abuzz with activity, with his tractors in the field and three John Deere combines churning out premium Oregon grass seed. But the combines sit idle in a garage, and Glaser has plenty of time to show around some visitin g golf course managers. Thats because, while most of the United States suffers from oppressive heat, Oregon remains far too cold and wet to dry out Glasers crops. Across the Pacific Northwest, farmers like Glaser are nervously watching their bottom lines as they cope with a year of cool, damp weather that has caused late cherry crops, spoiled peaches and the threat that world-class grass seed could fail to dry out and germinate before it reaches the market. I dont recall it ever being quite this bad, said Glaser, 64, who farms land thats been in his family since the year before he was born. Weve had wet springs, but it usually stops at some point on the way. Not this year. Oregon grass seed is at least 10 days behind, and more rain would delay it further. Next weeks forecast shows some cloudy days. Anticipating a rapid harvest, Glaser bought a third, $250,000 combine last week to help keep up. He doesnt want to leave 1,300 acres of grass in the field like he had to do in 1967, another especially rainy year. Hes bracing for the possibility of losing 20 percent of his business. Grass seeds grow on the top of stalks. Farmers harvest it by cutting the stalks and bundling them into rows called windrows, then waiting seven to 10 days for the seeds to dry out. Theyre then collected in a combine, which separates the seeds from the rest of the plant. The typical warm, dry summers in Oregons Willamette Valley create an ideal climate to grow high-quality grass and vegetable seed because, usually, Mother Nature will dry seeds out. Oregons 1,500 grass seed farmers have a competitive advantage over those in England, New Zealand and elsewhere, where high humidity means the seed must be dried artificially, costing time, money and quality. Oregon seed is stored and transported easily. Its shipped globally and sprouts almost two-thirds of cool-season grasses in the United States, experts say. Oregon farmers produced some $256 million worth of grass seed in 2010, making it the states sixth-most lucrative commodity, according to the state Department of Agriculture. Dampness can destroy the seed or cause it to germinate before it reaches a golf course or baseball outfield. The industry kind of counts on it not raining once you get to July, said Mark Mellbye, an Oregon State University professor who studies grass seed from the extension office in Albany. The problem is, much of the Willamette Valley has had more than twice the normal rainfall in July, according to National Weather Service data. The average monthly temperature has been 2 to 3 degrees below normal. One rain storm is enough to set back the crop for five days, pushing the harvest closer to the rainy season and making it harder to fill orders on time, experts said. The unusual weather isnt just affecting seeds. A warm spell in February followed by frosts and freezing temperatures hurt cherry and apple production, leading to a U.S. Department of Agriculture disaster declaration last week that covers eight counties in northeast Oregon and neighboring Washington. The declaration gives farmers access to emergency loans. Last month, Washington County outside Portland asked for a similar disaster declaration, estimating an 80 percent loss to peach and caneberry crops because of a cold, wet spring. In Washington, some peas and corn were planted late due to wet weather. Elsewhere,

Trapping western bean cutworm moths

BY GLEN ARNOLD Ag Educator OSU Extension, Putnam County Late July is expected to bring the peak flight of western bean cutworm (WBC) moths into Northwest Ohio corn fields. The OSU Extension office in Putnam County has five traps set in local corn fields to monitor moth numbers. Two of the traps consist of a milk jug, antifreeze, water, soap, and pheromone bait. The other three traps are called bucket traps. The number of moths caught in 2011 is more than double the number caught at this point in 2010. Adult WBC moths will lay eggs on the underside of the upper leaves of corn plants. COLUMBUS For the second year, Ohios egg farmers are using the Ohio State Fair, which runs through Aug. 7, as an opportunity to help combat hunger in the Buckeye state. During each day of the fair, the Ohio Poultry Association (OPA) will donate one dozen eggs to the Mid-Ohio Foodbank for each kids meal that is purchased at the poultry booth in the Taste of Ohio Caf. In addition, OPA will hand out a free incredible backpack for each purchased kids meal. Ohios egg, chicken and turkey farmers are committed to giving back and helping those who are in need, said Jim Chakeres, OPA executive vice president. We encourage fairgoers to stop by the Taste of Ohio Caf and enjoy a nutritious, affordable meal while helping Ohioans who are less fortunate. Ohioans can give back to those in need by purchasing a kids meal at the poultry booth at the Ohio Taste of Ohio Caf, which is open from 10:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Once the eggs hatch in about 48 hours, larvae can feed on the tassels, silks, or ears of the corn, depending on the crops growth stage. When done feeding, the larvae will drop from the plant, burrow into the soil and overwinter, where they emerge the following year to begin the cycle again. We do not currently know if the WBC can complete its life cycle in Ohio. Last year in Fulton County, egg masses were collected from corn fields and they hatched in a jar while being transported to the Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center at Wooster. WBC egg masses (20-100 eggs) are usually randomly clustered, rather than deposited neatly in rows. They start out white, then slowly change to tan and then a deep purple. The larvae hatch about 48 hours later. The purple egg color is a distinct characteristic of WBC. Western bean cutworm larvae can be confused with other corn pests, such as corn earworm or even corn borer. The WBC larva has two broad, brown stripes behind the head that corn earworm larva doesnt have. Another important difference is that WBC is not cannibalistic like corn earworm. If you find multiple larvae on a corn plant or in an ear of corn, then most likely its the Western bean cutworm. When scouting for this pest, farmers should inspect at least 20 consecutive corn plants at five random locations throughnation for turkey production and produces more than 300 million pounds of chicken for sale each year.

Land

apples are behind schedule and vulnerable to a freeze in the fall, said Dan Wood, director of local affairs for the Washington Farm Bureau. Consumers get accustomed to eating particular foods at certain times of year, farmers say, and if you miss the window, many customers lose interest. The cherry harvest, typically well under way in early July, had barely begun at that time this year. If you have to wait until after the Fourth of July to start selling your cherries, then youve missed a huge market opportunity, said Lynn Long, an Oregon State professor who studies cherries from the extension office in The Dalles. And, theres a danger now of late-season rains, which can split cherries open if theyre ripe, he said. Its not all bad news. Wheat, a roughly $1 billion per-year crop in Oregon and Washington combined, is behind schedule but thriving in some areas. As long as theres not a poorlytimed rain that causes the grain to sprout, wheat farmers could have a good harvest. But other farmers need some warm weather to dry things out. Glazer said its always a gamble with the weather. Theres no reason to go to Reno, or Vegas, he says. Farmers gamble all the time, and probably bet a lot more money than theyd ever consider putting in a slot machine.

Ohio egg farmers help fight hunger at the Ohio State Fair
each day of the fairs operation. A variety of foods from Ohios egg, chicken and turkey farmers will offer fairgoers a healthy alternative to traditional fair food. Prices range from $1 for a snack to $7 for a complete meal. The menu includes: Sandwiches, including chicken salad, egg salad, turkey and chicken breast, and new for 2011 is chicken Italian sausage; Chicken and noodles; Thanksgiving-style turkey dinner with all the trimmings; Salads, available with chicken, chicken salad or turkey; Hot Shot open-faced turkey sandwich with mashed potatoes and gravy; The fair-favorite egg on a stick; and Chicken nugget kids meals. Ohio is the number-two egg-producing state in the nation, behind Iowa. Ohio egg farmers produce more than seven billion eggs each year. Ohio is eighth in the

out the field to look for egg masses and larvae. The economic threshold is 5 percent of plants that contain either egg masses or larvae. Andy Michel, an OSU Extension entomologist with the Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center is coordinating the WBC efforts in Ohio. For more information on Western bean cutworm and control information, log on to http://entomology.osu.edu/ag/. Recently, our colleagues at Purdue University developed some short videos for western bean cutworm scouting and egg hatch (see http:// extension.entm.purdue.edu/ pestcrop/2010/issue15/index. html). These videos should be helpful when scouting your fields. For more information about Ohios egg, chicken and turkey farms, please visit www.ohiopoultry.org.

The Herald 9

Tomorrows Horoscope
FRIDAY, JULY 29, 2011 Provided you dont take on more than you can handle, your prospects for the coming months look extremely encouraging. Do all the necessary homework and weed out all the money wasters first, before you make any moves. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Be leery of someone who attempts to involve you in a game of one-upsmanship, especially if money is involved. Chances are that he has experience or expertise he isnt telling you about. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -Even if you believe you have money to burn, handle your finances with prudence and caution. Deal only with the realities at hand and dont count on Lady Luck carrying you to victory. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Fence sitting could get you into a lot of trouble, and were not just talking sore haunches. Either take a firm position on a critical issue or dont get involved at all. You dont need any additional complications. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -Avoid talking too freely to a friend about a matter that is supposed to be confidential. Although you usually can trust this person, she or he might misunderstand and spread the news. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- If you are too easily put upon by friends, a certain pal could palm off a difficult job on you that he or she is avoiding because of the responsibility involved. Know what youre getting into. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Try to keep the needs and interests of your pals on the same level as your own. If you put your wants ahead of those of others, you will quickly alienate their friendship. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Nothing will be accomplished if you arent as persevering as you should be in regards to your plans. Throwing in the towel because of a few impediments is folly. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -Be wary if youre offered something on the side for going along with a secret deal. It could turn out to be nothing but sugar coating that will turn sour at a moments notice. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -Going against your better judgment is foolish and you know it, so regardless of your reasons for wanting to do so, back off. When you start ignoring your common sense, youre in trouble. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Demanding the impossible from a person on whom you palmed off a difficult job is wrong, and you know it. Give him or her the same space you would have wanted for yourself. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -Be wary of a merchandiser who is representing something as a bargain when, in fact, he might be merely dumping it because of some hidden imperfections. Shop wisely. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -Frustrations will result if you arent realistic about the objectives you establish for yourself. If they are too overwhelming or beyond your scope of expertise, you should hire a pro.

OKC bomb survivor encourages Norway

By TIM TALLEY Associated Press OKLAHOMA CITY An Oklahoma City bombing survivor and a family member of one of the blasts 168 victims shared their stories Wednesday with a broadcaster from Norway, drawing parallels between the 1995 attack and a deadly bombing and shooting spree in Norway that killed at least 76 people. Former state Rep. Susan Winchester, whose sister, Dr. Margaret Peggy Clark, was killed in the bombing of the Oklahoma City federal building, told Norwegian Broadcasting Corp. that her sisters death was emotionally devastating but that her family became stronger over time as it worked to care for Clarks three young daughters. These are very dark days, but they will get brighter, Winchester told executive news correspondent Jon Gelius during an interview inside the Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum, near the former site of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. Everyones gone forward. You can go forward. You can go on, Winchester said. I see how far weve come in 16 years. What happened 16 years ago cannot happen again. Like the Oklahoma City bombing, the suspect in the attack in Norway wanted to create fear and terror among its citizens and bring the nation to its knees, she said. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Winchester said. There will always be scars. There will always be wounds. But you can get strength from it. Gelius told The Associated Press during a break in the taping that he wanted to speak to people impacted by the Oklahoma City bombing because Norwegians who are struggling with the shock and loss of the terror attacks there need to know they can recover. Someone has gone on that path before us, said Gelius, who is based in Washington. Hold hands Oklahoma City recovered from the terror attack 16 years ago. We need to fight back. Bombing survivor Melissa McLawhorn Houston said her life was largely a blur for a year following the bombing as she struggled with the guilt of having survived the terrorist bomb that killed so many others. Why me? Why am I worth saving? said Houston, an assistant state attorney general. Its OK to be angry and to be scared. At the time of the blast, Houston worked inside the building that now houses the bombing museum and said she and others helped co-workers evacuate the heavily damaged structure. All of a sudden, everything just changed in an instant, she said. It always felt like something evil had happened. For months afterward, the sense of loss and the emotional impact of the bombing made even the simplest tasks difficult, she said. As the people of Norway will learn, it is

FBI searches for missing girl

By JOHN CURRAN Associated Press gation into the girls disappearance, which was being treated as a missing-person case. We are still desperately looking for her, said Senior Assistant Attorney General Jane Young, who typically handles homicide cases. She held a press conference Wednesday night with the head of the local FBI office, Kieran Ramsay, but wouldnt take questions. The specter of the girls disappearance hung heavy over Stewartstown, a community of 800 residents with one blinking streetlight and a handful of stores. Its creepy, said Shannon Towle, who owns Towles Mini-Mart on Route 3. Things like this dont happen here. I know thats kind of a tired phrase. Im an overprotective mom as it is. Now its going to be way worse. About 80 people, many with candles in hand and tears in their eyes, gathered for a nighttime vigil for Celina in neighboring Canaan, Vt. A framed picture of the girl sat on a picnic table, surrounded by candles. Friends and classmates and people who didnt know Celina were among those in the sobbing crowd. A family friend, Rebecca Goodrum, of nearby Beecher Falls, Vt., said she was praying Celina, whom shes known since she was 2, is safe. It feels like a lost section of the town, Goodrum said Wednesday night. She was beautiful. She was the light of everything. Celinas stepfather, Wendell Noyes, described her as a quiet girl who would not have left home on her own. He declined to comment further on her disappearance. Residents described

literally a moment after another, Houston said. Getting out of bed in the morning is an amazing accomplishment. The July 22 bombing in Oslo has drawn parallels to the blast in Oklahoma because both involved domestic terror plots in which a government building was attacked with a homemade bomb made of ammonium nitrate fertilizer and fuel oil. Authorities say the Norwegian suspect, Anders Behring Breivik, has confessed to detonating a truck bomb outside a building that housed the offices of Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg, killing eight people, before travelling to an island youth camp 25 miles from the Norwegian capital and shooting 68 more people to death. Army veteran Timothy McVeigh was convicted of federal murder and conspiracy charges in connection with the Oklahoma City bombing and was executed in 2001. Co-conspirator Terry Nichols was convicted of federal and state bombing-related charges and sentenced to life in prison.

Answers to Wednesdays questions: US president Abraham Lincoln held a patent on a device with bellows and pulleys to float boats over shallow water. According to official government rules for weather forecasting, if 40-70 percent of the sky is expected to be cloudy, the forecast is partly cloudy. If the clouds are less than 40 percent, then the forecast is partly sunny. More than 70-percent cloud cover is cloudy. Todays questions: Youre in a face-off with a skunk. He missed you with his first 5 shots of nasty-smelling spray. How many shots does he have left? If you really like making movies, where should you live? Answers in Fridays Herald.

STEWARTSTOWN, N.H. The disappearance of an 11-year-old girl from her house just a mile from the Canadian border rattled nerves in her small town Wednesday as crews searched the Connecticut River and cordoned the house with police tape and the FBI deployed a team that specializes in child abductions. Celina Cass was last seen in her house at a computer around 9 p.m. Monday and was gone the next morning, authorities said. Police have said that theres no indication she ran away or that someone took her, and there are no signs of a struggle. The only thing that is certain is she disappeared. Prosecutors from the attorney generals office arrived in Stewartstown on Wednesday and took charge of the investi-

Special ops chief warns of al-Qaida 2.0

Celina as a sweet, friendly child. One of Celinas best friends, 11-year-old Makayla Riendeau, said Celina loves her mother and likes her stepfather and wouldnt run away. She said Celina is very athletic, is a stickler about getting her school work done on time and loves having friends over to her house. Shes a very good friend, and she never lets anybody down, Makayla said. By Wednesday afternoon, family members and friends were camped out on the porch of the three-story wooden home and shooed away reporters. Young, the senior assistant attorney general, entered the home with several officers about 2 p.m. and came out with a woman, whom they walked to a nearby office building that served as a command post. Young declined to comment on that.

ASPEN, Colo. The top commander of U.S. special operations forces said Wednesday that Osama bin Ladens al-Qaida is bloodied and nearing its end, but he warned the next generation of militants could keep special operations fighting for a decade to come. Navy SEAL Adm. Eric T. Olson described the killing of bin Laden by a special operations raid on May 2 as a nearkilling blow for what he called al-Qaida 1.0, as created by bin Laden and led from his hideout in Pakistan. Olson said the group had already lost steam because of the revolts of the Arab Spring, which proved the Muslim world did not need al-Qaida to bring down governments, from Tunisia to Egypt. I think the death of bin Laden was an uppercut to the jaw, Olson told a packed crowd, opening the Aspen Security Forum. It just knocked them on their heels. Olson echoed other administration officials who are predicting al-Qaidas demise if a few more key leaders can be eliminated. But the four-star admiral warned of the fight to come against what he called al-Qaida 2.0, with new leaders like American-born radical cleric Anwar al-Awlaki in Yemen, who Olson said understands America better than Americans understand him. It will morph, it will disperse, he said of the movement. It will become in some ways more westernized, (with) dual passport holders and fewer cave dwellers, he said. Olson said others like alAwlaki will probably refine their message to appeal to a wider audience, and seek ungoverned spaces to operate from, where they can smuggle in weapons and train their followers. He described how current offshoots like al-Awlakis al-Qaida of the Arabian Peninsula in Yemen are cooperating with militants in Somalia, describing what he called an invisible bridge between the two. Nor did the admiral write off bin Ladens successor, Ayman al-Zawahri. He said al-Zawahri had not yet put his stamp on the original organization, so U.S. counterterrorist forces do not yet know what kind of threat his leadership will present.
