test to
resume
BY NANCY SPENCER
The Delphos Herald
nspencer@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS — In the early
hours of May 14, a small
tornado made its way east
from Bockey Road in Van
Wert County into Delphos
and down First Street.
The call was put out
from Van Wert County
EMA Director Rick McCoy
to sound the sirens in the
Delphos shortly after 1 a.m.
Due to operator error, the
sirens didn’t sound and were
activated by Allen County
at approximately 2 a.m. —
after the fact.
Delphos Fire Chief Dave
McNeal said once the sys-
tem is activated, the operator
only has seconds to complete
the procedure before the sys-
tem resets itself. There is
then some lock-out time.
Delphos called the Allen
County EMA to activate
the sirens but the crisis had
already passed.
While the storm warning
siren system is for those out-
doors when inclement weath-
er threatens, they are loud
enough to hear inside some
homes. However, for most,
McNeal said tuning into a
radio or local TV station is
best for those indoors.
In order to make the
warning system more effec-
tive in Delphos, city officials
are working with Allen and
Van Wert counties to give
McCoy the ability to sound
the sirens in Delphos during
a tornado warning as well.
Currently, Delphos falls
under the responsibility of
Allen County EMA, which
provided Delphos with four
of its seven sirens. The EMA
office, two EMA personnel
vehicles, the Allen County
Sheriff’s Office, a sheriff’s
vehicle and the Delphos Fire
Department have the ability
to activate the sirens at this
time.
“We have to have a resolu-
tion made by both counties’
commissioners establishing
the protocol and responsi-
bilities,” Safety Service
Director Greg Berquist said.
“We want to provide as
much warning as possible
in these situations. We are
taking this seriously. The
fact that we had a small tor-
nado and the system didn’t
work is a concern and we are
working with Allen and Van
Wert counties for a solution.
We want to create a mar-
riage between Delphos and
the two counties so nothing
slips through the cracks. We
will be perfecting a method-
ology to ensure the sirens go
off at the appropriate time.”
Radio Hospital is the
Allen County contracted ser-
vice provider and its person-
nel will work with McCoy to
establish a radio frequency
to sound Delphos’ sirens.
Platoon chiefs at the fire
department will also receive
additional training on the
protocols and procedures for
tested at 12:15 p.m. every
the only tone used. There is
no longer an all-clear tone.
Allen County will continue
it’s monthly test at noon on
the first Wednesday.

Briefs
Ohio lawmakers
face deadline
for casino rules
COLUMBUS — A bill
laying out rules for four new
casinos authorized by Ohio
voters last fall was nearing
completion at the Statehouse
late Thursday, as scrambling
lawmakers neared a midnight
deadline.
Parties had agreed on
some items of most interest
to patrons, including an entry
age of 21, rules against free
drinks and smoking and clos-
ing times of 2:30 a.m. like
bars. But a dispute between
Republicans and members of
the Legislative Black Caucus,
all Democrats, over minority
hiring practices was among
issues continuing to delay a
final compromise.
Also at issue was where
to direct the $200 million in
initial licensing fees to be col-
lected up front from casinos
— $50 million per casino.
Democrats who con-
trol the Ohio House began
the day wanting the money
spent on four job training
programs, including $70
million for a new program
announced by Democratic
Gov. Ted Strickland earlier
this year intended to encour-
age companies in major cities
to hire unemployed workers.
Republicans who control the
Ohio Senate favored leaving
the money uncommitted for
use later.
On the hiring issue, black
legislators wanted to see casi-
no operators adopt diversity-
in-hiring policies during the
construction phase of the proj-
ects and after the casinos open
in 2012 and 2013. Republicans
opposed the proposal as an
unprecedented mandate on a
private industry.
Last year’s casino cam-
paign was dubbed Ohio Jobs
& Growth, and it focused on
the ability of the casinos to
create jobs in Ohio’s ailing
economy. Unemployment in
the state stands around 11 per-
cent.
The casinos are to be locat-
ed in Cleveland, Columbus,
Cincinnati and Toledo, and
lawmakers had already agreed
in earlier versions of the regu-
latory framework to require
payouts on slot machines be
at least 85 percent.
The bill also establishes
a seven-member casino con-
trol commission to license and
regulate the casinos.
A ballot measure before
Ohio voters last November
amended the state constitution
to allow casinos at specific
spots in four cities, bringing
casino gambling to the state
for the first time. This spring,
voters statewide approved
amending the constitution
again to move the Columbus
casino to a new location.
Language in the ballot
measure required lawmak-
ers to draw up casino regula-
tions within six months of
the measure’s effective date,
a period that ended Thursday.
However, it’s unclear what
penalty, if any, exists for fail-
ing to meet the deadline.
Despite court
ruling, police
keeping radar
COLUMBUS (AP) —
Police agencies won’t be
retiring their radar guns just
because the Ohio Supreme
Court says an officer’s guess-
timate of how fast a motorist is
driving can be enough to jus-
tify a speeding conviction, law
enforcement officials said.
In a 5-1 ruling, the state’s
highest court said independent
verification of a driver’s speed
is not necessary if the officer is
trained, certified by a training
academy and experienced in
watching for speeders.
“I would not expect law
enforcement to change their
techniques as a result of this
ruling,” said Ted Hart, a
spokesman for the Ohio attor-
ney general’s office. Officers
rarely issue speeding tickets
based solely on an observation
but typically rely on speed
readings from radar or laser
devices, Hart said Thursday.
State Highway Patrol
troopers are trained to esti-
mate speed from what they see
but use technology to back up
their judgments, and that will
continue while the Supreme
Court’s decision is reviewed,
said Sgt. Max Norris II, a
patrol spokesman.

Arizona Gov. to Obama:
Secure our border
By DARLENE
SUPERVILLE and
SUZANNE GAMBOA
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Facing
off over illegal immigration,
Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer told
President Barack Obama that
Americans “want our border
secured” and called Thursday
for completion of a separating
fence. Obama underscored
his objections that the tough
immigration law she signed is
discriminatory.
Meeting in the Oval Office,
Obama said Arizona’s law
and similar efforts by more
than 20 states would interfere
with the federal government’s
responsibility to set and
enforce immigration policy.
Neither side appeared to
give ground on the conten-
tious issue although both talk-
ed about seeking a bipartisan
solution.
Obama urged her to “be his
partner” in working toward a
comprehensive overhaul of
the nation’s badly fractured
immigration system. Brewer
told The Associated Press
afterward that she told Obama
her state is not ready for the
comprehensive solution he
favors.
“I said we need to have the
fence completed, have more
troops on the border and more
resources” for aerial surveil-
lance, she said.
Thursday’s unusual meet-
ing between the president and
Intelligence ‘funeral’ was premature
By MATT APUZZO
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — CIA
Director Porter Goss held
what amounted to a wake for
his own job in 2005, when
a newly appointed national
intelligence director took the
helm of the country’s far-
flung intelligence network.
Eight former CIA directors
gathered at the agency’s
headquarters to commemo-
rate the times when they were
still in charge.
The funeral, it turns out,
was premature.
Five years later, the CIA
director is still effectively the
nation’s premier intelligence
job. And even as President
Barack Obama is close to
naming the fourth director
of national intelligence, that
post has yet to live up to its
powerful job description.
The centralized authority
that was supposed to help fix
the problems that led to 9/11
has been divided among pow-
erful figures at the CIA and
White House, including CIA
Director Leon Panetta and
homeland security adviser
John Brennan.
And the Office of
the Director of National
Intelligence has largely
become just another agency
in the convoluted intelligence
business. Obama’s choice of
director will signal his vision
for the job.
White House says it contacted candidate about jobs
By PHILIP ELLIOTT
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — est in ensuring that supporters
President Barack Obama was
unaware a top aide encour-
aged a Colorado Democrat
to apply for an international
development job instead of
challenging the candidate
whom the president favored
in a Senate race, the White
House said Thursday.
Press Secretary Robert
Gibbs faced fresh questions
about another backroom polit-
ical deal — the first involv-
ing a Pennsylvania candidate,
now a Colorado hopeful —
that put the Obama adminis-
tration on the defensive. The
White House acknowledged
that it had contacted former
Colorado House Speaker
Andrew Romanoff about pos-
sible jobs in hopes of persuad-
ing him to skip the Senate
primary.
Asked whether Obama
knew about the outreach,
Gibbs told reporters: “He’s
not aware of the individual
circumstances.”
At the same time, Gibbs
defended the White House’s
involvement in primaries as
Democrats struggle to main-
tain their majorities in the
House and Senate in a tough
the governor was a byprod-
uct of Brewer’s decision to
sign a first-in-the-nation law
requiring police enforcing
other laws to check immi-
gration status if they suspect
someone is in the country
illegally. The law also makes
being in the U.S. illegally a
state crime. Brewer sought
the meeting and the White
House accepted.
Emerging from the half-
hour session, Brewer said
Obama had assured her that the
majority of the 1,200 National
Guard troops he is sending to
the U.S.-Mexico border would
be going to her state.
Brewer said she and
Obama, at odds over how to
control illegal immigration,
also agreed to try to work
together on solutions. She
said White House staff would
visit Arizona in a couple of
weeks to continue the “very
cordial discussion” she had
with the president.
“I believe the people
of Arizona, the people of
America, want our border
secured,” Brewer said.
Outside the White House,
hundreds of protesters, as
unhappy with the law as they
are with Obama’s inability
to overhaul a system he and
others say is broken, noisily
greeted the Republican gov-
ernor as she arrived for the
meeting.
Nearly 200 people walked
in a circle on the pedestrian-
only portion of Pennsylvania
The jockeying for power
within the intelligence com-
munity is more than run-of-
the-mill Washington politics.
It’s about two important ques-
tions that have gone unan-
swered for nearly a decade:
Who’s in charge of the
nation’s spies, satellites, ana-
lysts, wiretaps and transla-
tors?
And who’s to blame when
they fail?
Leading up to the 2001
terrorist attacks, intelligence
agencies weren’t working
together. Warning signs went
unshared. Strands of analysis
were scattered across the gov-
ernment. Agencies fought turf
wars at home and abroad.
The DNI was supposed
to change all that. Congress
envisioned a commanding
figure in charge of the intelli-
gence machine, someone who
would make sure a tip passed
to a spy overseas could find
its way to a CIA analyst in
Washington, an FBI agent
in New York and a military
officer in Iraq.
In practice, it didn’t work.
Retired Adm. Dennis Blair,
who resigned last month as
DNI, was the nation’s top
intelligence official on paper,
but when he tried to assert
control over the senior U.S.
spies around the world, he
was overruled by Panetta at
the CIA, who had the support
of the White House.
The National
political environment.
“I think the leaders of par-
ties have long had an inter-
didn’t run against each other
in contested elections,” Gibbs
said.
Both the White House and
Romanoff said there was no
job offer. White House deputy
chief of staff Jim Messina had
outlined three potential jobs
for Romanoff, who was deter-
mined to run against incum-
bent Sen. Michael Bennet.
Speaking to reporters
in Colorado on Thursday,
Romanoff said “at no point
was I promised a job.”
The situation again called
into question repeated prom-
ises by Obama to run an open
government that is above
secret political horse-trading.
In appealing to voters this
election year, Republicans
charge that Obama’s prom-
ise to change the ways of
Washington has given way to
the kind of politics he cam-
paigned against.
Just last Friday, the White
House acknowledged under
pressure that it had turned
to former President Bill
Clinton last year to approach

date Joe Sestak about backing

Avenue in front of the White
House — holding signs,
chanting “Jan Brewer, shame
on you!” beating drums and,
in the case of one man, strum-
ming a guitar.
The Arizona law is sched-
uled to take effect July 29,
unless it is blocked by a
court under pending legal
challenges. Obama’s Justice
Department also is review-
ing the law for possible civil
rights violations, with an
eye toward a possible court
challenge. Obama would not
discuss any possible Justice
Department action in the
meeting, Brewer said.
Brewer has said she signed
the law because she believes
Washington had failed to do
its part to protect the U.S.-
Mexico border.
Obama said Thursday in an
interview that he understands
the frustration in Arizona over
the influx of illegal immi-
grants from Mexico but that
Arizona’s law is the wrong
way to go about solving the
problem.
“I think this puts American
citizens, who ... are Hispanic,
potentially in an unfair situ-
ation,” he told CNN’s Larry
King.
While lawmakers and
border-state governors say
more federal troops are need-
ed to fight rising violence in
their states, government data
obtained by The Associated
Press show it actually isn’t so
dangerous down there after all.
Counterterrorism Center, an
operation under Blair’s com-
mand, came in for criticism
by the Senate after the failed
Christmas Day airline bomb-
ing. The center told Congress
that no one intelligence entity
“has sole responsibility nor
bears the entire burden of
either connecting dots or
accountability for failing to
do so.”
Lawmakers noted that’s
exactly the responsibility and
accountability they wanted
the counterterrorism center to
have.
Obama, meanwhile, has
made his homeland security
adviser Brennan his go-to
person on terrorism issues.
A career CIA officer with
a lengthy counterterrorism
resume, Brennan has had the
president’s ear since the cam-
paign. In intelligence circles,
he’s is often referred to as the
“de facto DNI.”
Brennan is also the public
face of the administration’s
national security efforts. He
has been on the Sunday talk
shows eight times, making the
rounds after the failed Times
Square bombing last month
and Christmas plot. Blair did
not make such appearances.
Lawmakers who created
the DNI position hope Obama
picks as Blair’s replacement a
dominant personality who can
assert his power over the CIA
and command the authority
that Brennan wields.
in favor of an unpaid position
on a federal advisory board.
“Clearly there is a quid
pro quo process that was put
in place by the West Wing
of the White House, orches-
trated and implemented by
(White House chief of staff)
Rahm Emanuel,” Republican
National Committee chair-
man Michael Steele told
Colorado’s KRAI. He said
the White House “is going to
have more explaining to do.”
Romanoff on Wednesday
night released a copy of an
e-mail in which Messina
described three federal inter-
national development jobs
that might be available to him
if he were not challenging
Bennet for the Democratic
Senate nomination.
“He added that he could
not guarantee my appoint-
ment to any of these posi-
tions,” Romanoff said in a
statement. “At no time was
I promised a job, nor did I
request Mr. Messina’s assis-
tance in obtaining one.”
Romanoff said Thursday:
“I rejected the overture ... the
same day.” He said he had
remained quiet about his deal-
ings with administration offi-
cials because, “I did not want
and do not want to politicize
this matter.”

Miller Memorial set for first pitch Tougher Lakers

By JIM METCALFE
The Delphos Herald
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS — The “Boys of Summer”
Baseball Classic had become a fixture of
the Delphos Little League Association
for the first weekend of June.
This year is no different, except the
classic has a different feel and name.
It has been renamed the Nathan Miller
Memorial Baseball Classic in honor of
the Jefferson 13-year-old — the son of
Sam and Angie (Gonyea) Miller — who
died August 21, 2009, of connective tis-
sue disorder that affected his aorta.
It was an easy transition, according
to his father.
“As soon as he died, I got the idea to
rename the ‘Boys of Summer’ Classic
in his honor. He loved sports, especially
baseball, and was good at it,” he began.
“I talked to the Delphos Little League
Association members and they were all
for it. They thought it was an appropriate
way to honor his memory.
“It would have been nice to do this
for another reason but I think Nathan
would get a kick out of this. He was that
kind of kid.”
The Nathan Miller Memorial
Scholarship Fund has been set up in
his honor to fund a scholarship for a
Jefferson and St. John’s senior. The only
requirement is that they be a senior var-
sity baseball player who will be attend-
ing college, not necessarily to play.
“There are no restrictions as far as
grades or whatever; if you are a senior
player on the varsity baseball team, you
are in the running for this,” he said.
The 2010 tournament, with its 16
Nathan Miller
teams made up of boys aged 10-12 years
old — players on each team must be
from the same school district — begins
with four games at 6 p.m. tonight on
Diamonds 2, 3 and 4, as well as the
Little League diamond, at Stadium Park.
Play continues Saturday with 18 games
starting at 9 a.m. to complete the pool-
play format, with games to be deter-
mined Sunday.
The tournament is made up of the
four Delphos City League units and
other teams from Spencerville, Middle
Point, Columbus Grove, Glandorf, St.
Marys, Lima, Shawnee and Van Wert,
with one from Rockford.
“All the proceeds of the tournament,
the concessions and T-shirts we will be
selling and the 50/50 drawing will go to
the fund for the current scholarships and
seed money for next year. As of now,
the 50/50 draw has around $200 in it,”
Miller added. “I’d like to see a lot of
people come to the park and not only
support the fund but the kids playing.
It’s always been a fun tournament.
“I don’t know if we could expand the
tournament in the future — it’s a lot of Artest proved it in his opening-
work for the 16 teams we have now — minute scuffle with Paul Pierce,
but we’ll see how it goes.”

beat Boston 102-
89 in finals opener
By GREG BEACHAM
AP Sports Writer
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Ron
tumbling to the ground with a vise
grip on the Celtics star’s elbow.
Kobe Bryant empha-
sized it one last time with
a rub-it-in 3-pointer in
the waning seconds of an
NBA finals opener that was
already a rout.
These aren’t the same
Los Angeles Lakers who
got pushed around by their
biggest rivals on the NBA’s
biggest stage two years ago.
They’re rougher and tougher
— and surprisingly willing
to play the Boston Celtics’
bad-tempered game.
Bryant scored 30 points,
Pau Gasol had 23 points and
14 rebounds, and the defending
champion Lakers did a remark-
able job of the dirty work in a 102-
89 victory over Boston in Game 1
on Thursday night.
Artest scored 15 points after
his tangle with Pierce in the open-
ing minute of the 12th finals
meeting between the NBA’s most
decorated franchises. Artest and
Pierce backed into each other with
their elbows locked while battling
for rebounding position. Both got
technical fouls after they crashed
to the court and got up ready to
rumble.
“That’s not a tone that we
want to set,” Artest claimed. “I
was a little emotional, and I had
might not want to know Lakers
coach Phil Jackson’s teams in Los
Angeles and Chicago have won
47 straight playoff series after
winning Game 1.
The Celtics were frustrated
after giving up 100 points for just
the second time in their last
10 games.
“They were the more
physical team by far,”
Celtics coach Doc Rivers
said. “They were more
aggressive. They attacked
us the entire night. I didn’t
think we handled it very
well.”
Game 2 is Sunday night
at Staples Center.
While the Lakers
played to their strengths,
the Celtics’ ostensible
advantages — toughness, defense
and veteran savvy — weren’t so
much in evidence. Rajon Rondo
had 13 points — just three in the
second half — and eight assists
for Boston, which went 1 for 10
on 3-pointers.
“You can’t ease into the
game, especially in the finals,”
Pierce said. “That’s one of the
better rebounding teams in the
NBA. We’ve just got to do a
better job rebounding the ball,
eliminating easy opportunities.
When I look up and we’ve given
up 100 points, I haven’t seen that
in a while.”
Ray Allen scored 12 points in
just 27 minutes, saddled with con-
stant foul trouble while trying to
guard Bryant. Pierce also picked

Selig won’t reverse ump’s mistake on perfect game

By BEN WALKER
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — The
imperfect game stands.
An umpire’s tears and
admission he blew a call
failed to move baseball com-
missioner Bud Selig to award
Armando Galarraga the per-
fect game he pitched. The
play and its aftermath quickly
became the talk of the sports
world and beyond, even to the
White House.
Selig announced Thursday
that Major League Baseball
will look at expanded replay
and umpiring but didn’t spe-
cifically address umpire
Jim Joyce’s botched call
Wednesday night that cost
Galarraga the perfect game —
27 batters up, 27 batters down.
No hits, no walks, no errors.
A baseball official familiar
with the decision confirmed to
The Associated Press that the
call was not being reversed.
The person spoke on condi-
tion of anonymity because
that element was not included
in Selig’s statement.
Joyce said he erred on
what would’ve been the
Tigers manager Jim
Leyland picked Galarraga
to present Detroit’s lineup at
home plate before Thursday’s
game to set up the emotional
meeting with Joyce. They
shook hands and the umpire
gave the pitcher a pat on the
shoulder.
“I didn’t want this to be
my 15 minutes of fame. I
would have liked my 15 min-
utes to be a great call in the
World Series. Hopefully, my
15 minutes are over now,”
Joyce said.
Bad calls are part of the
mix in sports, witness the
many mistakes last October
in baseball’s postseason. But
something about this one —
the chance to right a wrong,
the heartfelt emotions of
everyone involved — reached
way past the lines.
“I’ve got to say we’ll never
see it again in our lifetime,”
New York Yankees manager
Joe Girardi said.
Galarraga, who was barely
known outside Detroit before
this week, and Joyce, whose
career had flourished in rela-
tive obscurity, became hot
topics on Twitter. At least
after Thursday’s game, saying
he hadn’t read it.
What Selig said was:
“There is no dispute that last
night’s game should have
ended differently.”
“There’s no doubt he feels
bad and terrible,” Galarraga
said after Detroit beat
Cleveland 12-6 on Thursday.
“I have a lot of respect for
the man. It takes a lot to say
you’re sorry and to say in
interviews he made a mistake.
I’m sad but I know that I
pitched a perfect game. The
first 28-out perfect game.”
Denied the 21st perfect
game in history, the record
third this season and the first
for a Detroit pitcher, Galarraga
still got a prize. The Tigers
and Chevrolet presented him
with a new Corvette.
Opinions poured in from
all over, on both sides.
“I was thinking if the
umpire says he made a mis-
take on replay, I’d call it a
no-hitter, perfect game. Just
scratch it,” St. Louis Cardinals
manager Tony La Russa said
Wednesday night. “If I was
Mr. Selig, in the best interest
of the game, the guy got it
unfortunately, that’s the way
it goes,” fan Jim Qualter said
at Fenway Park.
Selig regularly consults
some of baseball’s great-
est players, such as Hall-of-
Famers Hank Aaron and Frank
Robinson, before making big
decisions. Other senior officials
and advisers also have input.
The umpire who made per-
haps the most infamous call of
all thought Selig got it right.
Don Denkinger’s missed
call in Game 6 of the
1985 World Series — like
Wednesday night’s play, it
involved a pitcher covering
first base — helped cost the
Cardinals a chance to clinch
it. St. Louis later lost to the
Kansas City Royals.
“No, you can’t change it,”
Denkinger told the AP in a
telephone interview. “It was
Jim’s call and it’s got to go
down that way. You can’t run
from it; it’s a part of life.”
In 1991, a panel headed
by then-commissioner Fay
Vincent took a look at the
record book and decided to
throw out 50 no-hitters for
various reasons. None of them,
however, involved changing
a little bit of anxiety at that point,
and I was fired up.”
Yet other Lakers were grate-
ful for the tone, and they weren’t
surprised Artest set it. The Lakers’
defensive stopper is their only new
player this season, and he quickly
showed Pierce — the 2008 finals
MVP — that trophies won’t be
quite so easy to earn against the
Lakers this time.
“I knew it was going to be
physical. That’s a given,” Gasol
said. “After consecutive finals, we
understand the nature of the game.
We understand who our rival is,
how they play. You’ve got to
compete, and you’ve got to match
that physicality, that aspect of the
game to be successful.”
The Lakers overwhelmed the
Celtics in the third quarter, taking
a 20-point lead with sturdy defense
and a quick-strike offense. Los
Angeles outrebounded the Celtics
42-31, outscored them in the paint
48-30 and put up a lofty shooting
percentage until a fourth-quarter
slump.
Bryant added seven rebounds
and six assists to his 12th 30-point
game of the postseason. Andrew
Bynum scored 10 points on his
injured right knee as the Lakers
improved to 9-0 at home in the
playoffs, with 12 straight post-
season home wins dating to last
year’s championship run — and
not many were more physical than
this one.
Pierce scored 24 points and
Kevin Garnett added 16 after a
slow start for the Celtics, who
up early fouls, while Garnett sim-
ply struggled, going 7 for 16 from
the field and grabbing just four
rebounds — even inexplicably
missing an open layup with 5 1/2
minutes to play.
That’s mostly because of
Gasol, the Spanish 7-footer
determined to assert himself after
admittedly getting pushed around
by Garnett two years ago. Gasol
capped a strong game by sprint-
ing downcourt and catching a
long pass in stride for a dunk with
6:21 to play.
“Pau played a big game
tonight,” Jackson said. “I thought
they did a good job on him in the
post, but his movement and his
activity was important.”
After Artest and Pierce got
wrapped up, the mood didn’t
improve much in a game featur-
ing 54 fouls. Yet the Lakers’
aggressiveness was reflected in
10 free throws apiece for Bryant
and Gasol, who made 16 of them,
along with steady guard penetra-
tion from Bryant, Derek Fisher
and backups Jordan Farmar and
Shannon Brown.
Bryant also praised the defen-
sive effort of Artest, whose block
on Glen Davis triggered the fast
break that led to Gasol’s dynamic
dunk.
“I think he does a great job
for us of setting the tone defen-
sively with his intensity and with
his energy,” said Bryant, who
greeted Artest with a hug after
that block. “I was just letting him
know it was well appreciated.”

DETROIT — The Detroit
Tigers were determined to
move on from the blown
call that cost Armando
Galarraga the first perfect
game in franchise history.
Magglio Ordonez
and Miguel Cabrera hit
consecutive homers in a
5-run seventh inning to lift
Detroit to a 12-6 win over
the Cleveland Indians on
Thursday, a day after first-
base umpire Jim Joyce admit-
ted he made a big mistake.
“I have already turned the
page,” Galarraga said. “I think
the guys have, too.”
The Tigers were sad the
morning after the infamous
call but later understood Major
League Baseball’s decision to
let it stand.
Commissioner Bud Selig
won’t reverse Joyce’s call, a
baseball official familiar with
the decision confirmed to The
Associated Press on condition
of anonymity because that ele-
ment was not included in the
statement Selig released dur-
ing the game.
“If you overturn something
like that, you’re opening a
Detroit took the field about
16 hours after Joyce’s infa-
mous call — signaling safe
instead of out with two down
in the ninth — and a light-
hearted moment
was followed by a
poignant one.
Galarraga, look-
ing very surprised
and humbled, was
presented with a
2010 Corvette con-
vertible in a pre-
game ceremony for
his near-perfect performance
and remarkable sportsman-
ship. When Joyce blew the
call, Galarraga turned and
smiled and kept his compo-
sure after the out — the 28th
one as it’ll be remembered
in Detroit sports lore — and
didn’t lash out at Joyce along
with his manager and team-
mates.
“I was shocked when they
drove it on the field and told
me it was mine,” he said.
The suddenly famous
pitcher presented the no-lon-
ger anonymous umpire with
the lineup card before the
game, shook hands and patted
him on the back.
Joyce was welcomed with
a smattering of applause when
sunglasses in his office —
likely to hide his tears from
TV cameras — during his
postgame news conference.
“I’m proud to be the man-
ager for these fans,” Leyland
said, choking up. “They
showed me a lot of class and
it was a hard thing to do.”
It wasn’t easy for David
Huff to do what he did, taking
his turn in the rotation after
New York’s Alex Rodriguez
hit a line drive off his head
Saturday. Huff struggled —
giving up five runs over three
innings — but took a step
toward bouncing back from a
scary moment.
“I felt fine out there,” he
said. “What happened had
nothing to do with what hap-
pened in New York. I just
wasn’t locating my pitches.”
Brad Thomas (2-0) retired
two in the sixth inning for
the win. Hector Abriz (0-1)
gave up a run on two hits in
an inning.
Rick Porcello retired the
Indians in order to open the
game and Carlos Guillen hit a
2-run double in the second.
Ordonez had an RBI triple
in a 3-run third, giving Detroit
a 5-1 lead.

Religion: Island of “Lost” Souls

It’s getting harder to visit office water cool-
ers without hearing the whispers of the “Lost”
disciples who are bracing for the end of the
world as they know it.
The same thing is happening during cof-
fee hours in religious congregations of every
shape and size, which is a testimony to the
complexity of the religious themes and sym-
bols embedded deep in the show’s mythology.
Tough theological questions have circled the
island of the castaways ever since the fateful
crash of Oceanic Flight 815.
Do absolute moral truths exist? Do good
intentions ever justify evil acts? Does real
love always lead to self-sacrifice? Can faith
and reason coexist or even mesh? Can people
change or are they doomed to commit the
same sins over and over? What does it mean
to be saved? To be delivered?
Some questions are more plot specific.
Biblically speaking, what would happen if a
patriarch named Jacob was killed by a brother
who may or may not be named Esau? Why do
some of the island’s inhabitants occasionally
speak Latin? What is the significance of the
fact that most of the characters had horrible
fathers? Where do the female survivors get all
those tight-fitting tank tops?
“‘Lost’ is a religious parable with obvious
TERRY MATTINGLY
On
Religion
biblical references trying desperately not to
be a religious parable,” according to Catho-
lic writer Roberto Rivera y Carlo, who is best
known for his work with the evangelical apol-
ogist Charles Colson.
“The religion that has been most straight-
forwardly stated on the show has been
straight-no-chaser Christianity -- people pray
like evangelical Christians or faithful Catho-
lics. There’s no kumbaya-style religion. ... Ul-
timately, ‘Lost’ is an exploration of free will
versus determinism or human freedom versus
predestination. Take your pick.”
Let’s see, the plots involve hope, doubt,
reason, freedom, sin, virtue, salvation, dam-
nation and seekers striving to find empirical
evidence to back their often agonizing leaps
of faith. No wonder there is a central character
named John Locke, along with others named
Milton, Hume, Rousseau and C.S. Lewis (a
Charlotte Staples Lewis, this time around).
The men who have been running the pro-
gram for most of its life -- Damon Lindelof,
who is Jewish, and Carlton Cuse, a Catho-
lic -- have called themselves “men of faith,”
while confessing that “Lost” has become a
“mash-up” of their favorite Bible stories, col-
lege philosophy textbooks, fantasy novels and
movies. Thus, it will be impossible to under-
stand Sunday’s finale without wrestling with
its final, indeed ultimate, spiritual questions.
“If there’s one word that we keep coming
back to, it’s redemption,” said Lindelof, in a
New York Times interview that has caused
waves of online fan discussions.
“It is that idea of everybody has something
to be redeemed for and the idea that that re-
demption doesn’t necessarily come from any-
where else other than internally. But in order
to redeem yourself, you can only do it through
a community.”
In the end, it’s almost impossible to say
that “Lost” has one overarching theme, said
the Rev. Chris Seay of Ecclesia Church in
Houston, author of “The Gospel According to
‘Lost.’ “ However, if forced to choose, he said
it’s clear that the central characters have been
forced to realize that they cannot survive as
selfish, isolated individuals -- they must “live
together” or they are doomed to “die alone.”
However, this also means they have had
to confront the reality of their own flaws, he
said. Over time, he said, the survivors learned
that if they were going to be saved they would
have to “fear the evils they find inside them-
selves more than they fear what is out there in
that jungle.” That’s the kind of message that
works in a pulpit, as well as on a large-screen
television.
While “Lost” does contain its share of ref-
erences to Eastern religions and direct refer-
ences to Christian classics, Seay said recent
episodes have reminded him of a defining
event in the Hebrew Bible -- the Exodus of the
people of Israel out of captivity in Egypt.
“In a way, these years on the island have
been their time of wandering in the wilder-
ness,” he said. “They’ve had to learn how to
live in forgiveness with one another, to face
their own sins and find some kind of healing
and some hope for the future. ... You have to
ask, what would a promised land look like for
this set of characters?”

BP: cap gets some oil, crude still spewing

By GREG BLUESTEIN
Associated Press
GRAND ISLE, La. (AP) — BP reported
some oil was flowing up a pipe today from a
cap it wrestled onto its broken Gulf of Mexico
well but crude still spewed and it was unclear
how much could be captured in the latest bid
to tame the nation’s worst oil spill.
President Barack Obama was set to visit
the Louisiana coast today, his second trip in a
week and the third since the disaster unfolded
following an April 20 oil rig explosion.
The government’s point man for the crisis,
Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen, said the cap’s
installation atop a severed pipe late Thursday
was a positive development but it was too
early to tell if will work. The funnel-like lid
is designed to channel oil for pumping to a
surface tanker.
“Even if successful, this is only a tempo-
rary and partial fix and we must continue our
aggressive response operations at the source,
on the surface and along the Gulf’s precious
coastline,” Allen said in a statement.
BP’s Chief Operating Officer Doug Suttles
said it will be later in the day before they
know how much is being captured.
“There is flow coming up the pipe. Just
now, I don’t know the exact rate,” Suttles said
on NBC’s “Today” show.
Robots a mile beneath the Gulf positioned
the lid over the main pipe on the leaking well
Thursday night. Live video footage, though,
showed that the oil seemed unimpeded.
To put the cap in place, BP had to slice off
the pipe with giant shears after a diamond-
edged saw became stuck.
Suttles said some of the oil still pouring
out came from vents deliberately placed to
keep icelike crystals from forming that could
block the funnel. BP will try to close those
four vents in succession and reduce the spill,
he said.
If the idea fails — like every other attempt
to control the six-week-old leak — the best
chance is probably a relief well, which is at
least two months away. The well has spit out
between 21 million and 46 million gallons
of oil since a rig exploded on April 20 about
50 miles from the Louisiana coast, killing 11
workers. BP was leasing the rig and is respon-
sible to fix and clean up the spill.
In oil-soaked Grand Isle, Jason French
might as well have painted a bulls-eye on his
back. His mission was to be BP’s representa-
tive at a meeting for 50 or so residents who
had gathered at a church to vent.
“We are all angry and frustrated,” he said.
“Feel free tonight to let me see that anger.
Direct it at me, direct it at BP, but I want to
assure you, the folks in this community, that
we are working hard to remedy the situation.”
Residents weren’t buying it.
“Sorry doesn’t pay the bills,” said Susan
Felio Price, a longtime resident.
“Through the negligence of BP we now
find ourselves trying to roller-skate up a
mountain,” she said. “We’re growing really
weary. We’re tired. We’re sick and tired of
being sick and tired. Someone’s got to help
us get to the top of that mountain.”
President Barack Obama shared some of
that anger ahead of his Gulf visit. He told
CNN’s Larry King that he was frustrated and
used his strongest language in assailing BP.
“I am furious at this entire situation
because this is an example where somebody
didn’t think through the consequences of their
actions,” Obama said. “This is imperiling an
entire way of life and an entire region for
potentially years.”
Meanwhile, newly disclosed internal Coast
Guard documents from the day after the
explosion aboard the Deepwater Horizon rig
indicated that U.S. officials were warning of a
leak of 336,000 gallons per day of crude from
the well in the event of a complete blowout.
The volume turned out to be much closer
to that figure than the 42,000 gallons per day
that BP first estimated. Weeks later that was
revised to 210,000 gallons. Now, an esti-
mated 500,000 to 1 million gallons of crude
is believed to be leaking daily.
The Center for Public Integrity, which
initially reported the Coast Guard logs, said it
obtained them from Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif.,
ranking Republican on the House Oversight
and Government Reform Committee.
The logs also showed early in the disaster
that remote underwater robots were unable to
activate the rig’s blowout preventer, which
was supposed to shut off the flow from the
well in the event of such a catastrophic fail-
ure.
The damage to the environment was chill-
ing on East Grand Terre Island along the
Louisiana coast, where workers found birds
coated in thick, black goo. Images shot by an
Associated Press photographer show Brown
pelicans drenched in thick oil, struggling and
flailing in the surf.

Toxic Shrek-themed glasses Upbeat Blagojevich goes on trial for corruption

recalled from McDonald’s stillCHICAGO (AP) — Like a candidate she had seen Patti Blagojevich on TV
running for office, a smiling and eating a bug.
By JUSTIN PRITCHARD
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Cadmium has been discovered in the
painted design on “Shrek”-themed drinking glasses being sold
nationwide at McDonald’s, forcing the burger giant to recall
12 million of the cheap U.S.-made collectibles while dramati-
cally expanding contamination concerns about the toxic metal
beyond imported children’s jewelry.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, which
announced the voluntary recall early today, warned consum-
ers to immediately stop using the glasses; McDonald’s said
it would post instructions on its website next week regarding
refunds.
The 16-ounce glasses, being sold for about $2 each as part
of a promotional campaign for the movie “Shrek Forever
After,” were available in four designs depicting the characters
Shrek, Princess Fiona, Puss in Boots and Donkey.
In the animated comedy, which debuted May 21 as the
latest installment of the successful DreamWorks Animation
franchise, the voice of Shrek is performed by Mike Myers of
“Austin Powers” fame, Cameron Diaz performs as Princess
Fiona, Antonio Banderas as Puss in Boots and Eddie Murphy
voices Donkey. The movie has been No. 1 at the box office
since its release.
The CPSC noted in its recall notice that “long-term expo-
sure to cadmium can cause adverse health effects.” Cadmium
is a known carcinogen that research shows also can cause bone
softening and severe kidney problems.
In the case of the Shrek-themed glassware, the potential
danger would be long-term exposure to low levels of cadmium,
which could leach from the paint onto a child’s hand, then
enter the body if the child puts that unwashed hand to his or
her mouth.
Cadmium can be used to create reds and yellows in paint.
McDonald’s USA spokesman Bill Whitman said a pigment in
paint on the glasses contained cadmium.
Concerns about cadmium exposure emerged in January,
when The Associated Press reported that some items of chil-
dren’s jewelry sold at major national chains contained up to
91 percent of the metal. Federal regulators worry that kids
could ingest cadmium by biting, sucking or even swallowing
contaminated pendants and bracelets.
Manufactured by ARC International of Millville, N.J., the
glasses were to be sold from May 21 into June.
BP chief under fire from within
By CHRIS KAHN
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — So far, BP’s CEO Tony Hayward has failed
in his efforts to stop people from losing faith — or money — in
his company.
But he can’t stop trying.
BP’s inability to contain the worst oil spill in U.S. history
has focused attention on Hayward’s words and deeds over the
past six weeks — and the scrutiny has not yielded a flattering
image.
— Three weeks into the spill, Hayward told reporters that the
amount of oil was relatively small given the Gulf of Mexico’s
size. The U.S. government now estimates that anywhere between
21 million and 46 million gallons of oil has spewed into the
Gulf, easily dwarfing the 11 million from the Exxon Valdez.
— Last weekend, Hayward angered Gulf residents when he
said to reporters, “I’d like my life back.” Hayward later apolo-
gized.
— On Thursday, Hayward acknowledged that the company
had not been prepared for a blowout on the sea floor. “We did
not have the tools you would want in your toolkit,” he told the
Financial Times. He also promised that BP would clean up every
drop of oil and “restore the shoreline to its original state.”
The British oil giant’s board of directors supports Hayward,
a spokesman said. Nevertheless, Hayward’s misstatements since
the April 20 explosion that killed 11 people hasn’t helped his
case with the general public — and investors have been fleeing
BP’s stock.
“There’s an awful lot of pressure mounting up,” said Chris
Skrebowski, director of Peak Oil Consulting and consulting edi-
tor at Petroleum Review.
BP’s shares have plunged almost 40 percent since the rig
explosion on April 20, erasing nearly $70 billion in value. Also,
the Justice Department announced this week it is investigating
the spill. Criminal charges against BP could lead to big changes
at the company.
The spill has cost the company more than $1 billion to date.
Wall Street analysts say the final bill could be 10 to 20 times
that amount, when fines, lawsuits and years of cleanup are taken
into account. A huge toll — but not enough to sink the company,
which earned more than $16 billion last year.
Aside from the disaster’s cost, they’ll want to hear what
Hayward has to say about the company’s upcoming dividend
payment. Some lawmakers have said it’s not right for the com-
pany to hand out billions to shareholders at a time when the
complete cost of the oil spill is unknown.
Analysts expect Hayward to be asked today about a possible
management shake-up, but they do not anticipate Hayward to be
forced to mount a defense of his own conduct.
It would be surprising if Hayward were ousted while the
company is still trying to plug the well, analysts said, because
any executive that took over would run into the same difficulties
he now faces. Afterward, all bets are off.
“He’ll be given the benefit of the doubt, but not for very
long,” Skrebowski said.
BP ran ads in major newspapers this week, apologizing for
the spill and pledging to clean up the mess.

Marines back to beach-storming
By JULIE WATSON
The Associated Press
ABOARD THE USS BONHOMME RICHARD — After
three tours in the deserts of Iraq, Lt. Col. Joe Levreault says he
felt a bit rusty when he climbed into the helicopter to do what
he was trained to do best as a Marine pilot — fly troops from
the ship to the shore, even under fire.
But he quickly got back into his groove and was more than
ready to carry out his mission today when thousands of sailors
and Marines will carry out the largest amphibious landing
exercise on the West coast since the Sept. 11 terror attacks sent
troops to wars in landlocked regions.
The Marines and sailors are aboard the 844-foot USS
Bonhomme Richard off the coast of Southern California, pre-
paring to storm the beach.
Marines say the training that kicked off May 24 has reinvig-
orated them by bringing them back to their roots as “soldiers of
the sea.” Some say the heavy fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan
in the last decade has relegated them to the status of a kind of
second land army.
“After so many years away, your skills always diminish and
any time you can get back to the boat, it’s good,” said Levreault,
40, who has served for 18 years. “It’s our bread and butter.”
The exercise comes at a pivotal point for the Marines who
are facing questions from Defense Secretary Robert Gates
