Canal tests OK
for algae
DELPHOS — Tests are
in and water from Miami-
Erie Canal in Delphos and
near Spencerville tested for
blue-green algae at .15 parts
per billion and .13 parts per
billion respectively.
Levels of concern are 20
parts per billion and above.
Water Superintendent Tim
Williams said he was pleased
with the results.
“I am glad we don’t
have a problem here so far,”
Williams said. “I know the
signs concerned everyone
but they were put up as a
precaution.”
Williams said while the
water tests for blue-green
algae are in the barely-
detectable range, he does
not recommend contact with
water from the canal.
“Even though we are at
safe levels for the algae, we
didn’t test for anything else
and I would say you need to
wash your hands thoroughly
after contact with canal water
and it is not safe to consume,”
he said.
Cridersville
changing name
for Dee Snider
CRIDERSVILLE (AP) —
Cridersville plans to change
its name for a day in honor
of Twisted Sister frontman
Dee Snider, who’s visit-
ing town to host a March of
Dimes Bikers for Babies ride.
Snider, known for 1980s
heavy metal songs such as
“We’re Not Gonna take It”
and “I Wanna Rock,” also
hosts the nationally syndicated
radio show, “House of Hair.”
The ride of about 7 miles
from Lima to Cridersville
is Saturday. Cridersville
plans to change its name
to Sniderville during the
event, which raises funds to
help fight premature birth.
Snider is the 2010
Bikers for Babies
national spokesman.
He had jokingly suggested
that Cridersville change its
name when a listener from the
town requested a song on his
radio show. He says the honor
is “one of the coolest things
that’s ever happened” to him.

Rep. Latta discusses economy, lame-duck session
BY KIRK DOUGAL
Delphos Herald
correspondent
VAN WERT — Ohio 5th
District Representative Bob
Latta was in Van Wert on
Friday for the ribbon-cutting
ceremony at the Cooper
Farms expansion. Afterward,
he sat down to discuss events
in Washington that directly
affect his district and the rest
of the country. The first topic
was the economy and jobs.
“When I am out in my
district, the largest manufac-
turing district in the state and
20th-largest in the nation, and
it was ninth-largest, people
are always asking me ‘How
come we don’t have jobs?’ It
goes back to multiple issues,”
said Latta.
While Congress is in
recess, Latta is visiting busi-
ness people around the dis-
thinking. He said most tell
him they are scared to hire or
expand because they believe
taxes are going to rise. Small
business owners are starting
to understand how expensive
law is going to be for them.
This increases their uncer-
tainty. Latta said the U.S. has
the second-highest corporate
tax rate in the world. In his
estimation, the federal debt
and deficit also play a role in
making it difficult for anyone
to have enough confidence to
move forward.

3 Office predicts that by 2020,
4 the U.S. deficit will increase

8 time, the U.S Treasury says
U.S. government will pay $2
billion just for interest. Much
of that money will go to

countries overseas. If current
trends continue, by 2068 the
U.S deficit will reach $318
trillion.
Latta said the federal gov-
ernment will need to drasti-
cally increase tax revenues
long before that point. He
believes the current admin-
istration’s thinking means
much higher personal income
taxes. Inheritance taxes are at
zero percent today but will
revert back to 50 percent or
higher. He also believes the
AMT tax will start includ-
ing lower and lower income
brackets.
Those kinds of issues
and uncertainty prevent
businesses from re-hiring
or expanding, according to
Latta. He said it reminds him
of President Jimmy Carter’s
famous “Malaise Speech”
when the complete lack of
faith in the federal govern-
ment had businesses and indi-
viduals in survival mode with
no hope for a better tomor-
row. Businesses are making
due with the employees they
have and are just hoping to
hold on during an uncertain
time. That pervasive attitude
has led government analysts
to say pre-recession employ-
ment will not return until
2014.
Because of the deficit and
budgetary concerns, Latta
voted against the recent $26
billion stimulus bill.
“(Democrats) allegedly
claim they are going to pay
for this. I guarantee you this
bill won’t be paid for,” Latta
said.
He believes part of the
funds are to come from food
stamp program cutbacks. He
said legislators will not make
those reductions when push
comes to shove.
“They are not going to do
that. They did it just so they
could go out to the American

The groundskeeper of Fort Ancient prepares to give the Glory Riders a private tour on the trails.
Delphos resident Beth
Metzger is participating in The
Glory Ride and Tabernacle.
The vision of the group is to
ride from the west coast to
the east coast by horseback,
worshiping, blowing the sho-
far and asking Almighty God
to come and anoint His people
to minister to the millions who
are about ready to receive
the answer to their prayers.
Her sister, Helen Kaverman,
chronicles her ride through
phone calls and e-mails.

Obama supports freedom
of religion at ground zero
By PAULINE JELINEK
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — tion.
Weighing his words careful-
ly on a fiery political issue,
President Barack Obama said
Saturday that Muslims have
the right to build a mosque
near New York’s Ground
Zero, but he did not say
whether he believes it is a
good idea to do so.
Obama commented during
a trip to Florida, where he
expanded on a Friday night
White House speech asserting
that Muslims have the same
right to freedom of religion as
everyone else in America.
The president’s statements
thrust him squarely into
a debate that he had skirt-
ed for weeks and could put
Democrats on the spot three
months before midterm elec-
tions where they already were
nervous about holding control
of the House and maybe even
the Senate. Until Friday, the
White House had asserted that
it did not want to get involved
in local decision-making.
New York City Mayor
Michael Bloomberg, an inde-
pendent who has been a strong
supporter of the mosque, wel-
comed Obama’s White House
speech as a “clarion defense
of the freedom of religion.”

Petraeus on Afghanistan: ‘Up, down’
By ANNE FLAHERTY
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — as U.S. support for the 9-year
Progress in Afghanistan only
began this spring and needs
time to take root, Army Gen.
David Petraeus said in com-
ments broadcast Sunday
that were aimed at shoring
up American support for the
war.
Petraeus, who’s been
credited with a success-
ful war strategy in Iraq and
who took charge of U.S. and
NATO military operations in
Afghanistan in July, described
an “up and down process”
of seizing Taliban-controlled
territory and creating “small
pockets of progress” that he
hoped will expand.
The goal, he told NBC’s
“Meet the Press,” is to keep
al-Qaida and other extrem-
ist groups at bay while the
Afghan government has a
chance to take control and
earn the trust of the local
population.
“We’re here so that
Afghanistan does not once
again become a sanctuary for
transnational extremists the
way it was when al-Qaida

with U.S. News and World
Report’s annual evaluation
of the “best” colleges and
universities, which is based
primarily on various statisti-
cal data, as well as reputation
and prestige.
ACTA focused its efforts
on requirements as a measure
of what an institution actually
delivers. Anne Neal, ACTA
president, is quick to point
out that the grading system
doesn’t tell the whole story
about an institution, but does
offer a crucial part that has
been missing.
On a user-friendly website,
“What Will They Learn?”
(www.whatwilltheylearn.
com), visitors can compare
the major public and private
universities in all 50 states. Of
the 714 four-year institutions
reviewed, more than 60 per-

met with Obama on Saturday,
lauded the president’s posi-
“I think he’s right — I
mean you know we’re a coun-
try that in my view stands
for freedom of religion and
respect for others,” Crist said
after the Florida meeting with
Obama and other officials. “I
know there are sensitivities
and I understand them. This
is a place where you’re sup-
posed to be able to practice
religion without the govern-
ment telling you you can’t.”
Others were quick to
pounce.
Democratic U.S. Senate
candidate Jeff Greene of
Florida took Obama’s Friday
speech to mean the president
supports the construction.
“President Obama has
this all wrong and I strongly
oppose his support for build-
ing a mosque near Ground
Zero especially since Islamic
terrorists have bragged and
celebrated destroying the
Twin Towers and killing
nearly 3,000 Americans,”
Greene said. “Freedom of reli-
gion might provide the right
to build the mosque in the
shadow of Ground Zero, but
common sense and respect
for those who lost their lives
and loved ones gives sensible
reason to build the mosque
said in an interview taped in
Kabul, the Afghan capital.
Petraeus’ comments come
war is slipping and the death
toll is climbing. July was
the deadliest month for U.S.
forces, when 66 troops were
killed.
Petraeus and other mili-
tary officials have warned
of more combat casualties
as additional U.S. troops are
sent to the fight. Last fall,
President Barack Obama
authorized 100,000 troops
in Afghanistan — triple the
level from 2008.
Obama’s Democratic
supporters have reluctantly
swung behind the plan, but
lawmakers are beginning to
question whether Afghanistan
can be won.
As the fighting intensi-
fies, the Pentagon and White
House are hoping that politi-
cal support for the war can
hold at least through year’s
end to give Petraeus time to
show progress. Petraeus is
expected to give an updated
assessment to Congress in
December.
Petraeus said in the inter-
view that the war only recent-
ly has been given the right
“inputs,” or resources: more
In other findings, public
institutions are doing a rela-
tively better job than private
schools of ensuring that stu-
dents receive basic skills and
knowledge — and at a consid-
erably lower price. But both
public and private universi-
ties are failing to ensure that
students cover the important
subjects, notably economics
and U.S. government or his-
tory.
Among the reasons for
this void in “the basics” is
that many professors prefer
research to teaching, and
course content often reflects
that. There’s no paucity of
subjects to choose from,
which is part of the problem.
More courses equals more
expense equals higher tuition.
The question is whether the
offerings are of any value.
At Emory University, for
example, to fulfill a “History,
Society and Culture” require-
ment, students may choose
from about 600 courses,
including “Gynecology in
the Ancient World.” At the
University of Wisconsin at
Madison, a “Humanities,
Literature and Arts” require-
ment may be met by taking
an introduction to television.
Neal, herself a graduate of
Harvard College and Harvard
Law School, doesn’t dispute
that these may be excellent
classes. “But the question
being asked is whether this
is the only exposure a student
is getting when going to uni-
versity.”
Students given so many
choices aren’t likely to select

someplace else.”
The mosque would be part
of a $100 million Islamic
community center two blocks
from where nearly 3,000 peo-
ple perished when hijacked
jetliners slammed into the
World Trade Center towers
on Sept. 11, 2001.
The proposed construction
has sparked debate around the
country that included oppo-
sition from top Republicans
including Sarah Palin and
Newt Gingrich as well as the
Jewish civil rights group the
Anti-Defamation League.
Obama’s Friday comment
was taken by some to mean
that he strongly supports the
building of an Islamic center
near the site of the Sept. 11
terrorist attack, something he
never actually said.
Speaking to a gathering at
the White House Friday eve-
ning to observe the Islamic holy
month of Ramadan, Obama
said he believes “Muslims have
the same right to practice their
religion as everyone else in this
country.”
“That includes the right to
build a place of worship and a
community center on private
property in lower Manhattan,
in accordance with local laws
and ordinances,” he said.
“This is America, and our
commitment to religious free-
dom must be unshakable.”
U.S. and Afghan troops to
take over Taliban territory
and more civilians to restore
services to the population.
“There is understandable
concern and, (in) some cases,
frustration,” Petraeus said.
“Therefore we have got to
really put our shoulders to the
wheel and show during the
course of this year that prog-
ress can be achieved.”
Petraeus described
Afghanistan as a tough and
enduring fight that would
require its “character and
its size being scaled down
over the years.” If the U.S.
loses, there would likely be
a bloody civil war followed
by a takeover by extrem-
ists. If the U.S. succeeds and
Afghanistan stabilizes, the
country could become the
region’s new “Silk Road”
with the potential to extract
trillions of dollars worth of
minerals, he said.
But the goal is not to turn
Afghanistan into an indus-
trialized democracy, he said.
Even if the nation relies heav-
ily on tribal councils for gov-
ernance, the central govern-
ment in Kabul could still run
the nation effectively with-
out influence from extremist
groups such as al-Qaida.
what’s good for them. Given
human nature, they’ll choose
what’s fun, easy or cool —
and not early in the morn-
ing and not on Fridays. It’s
up to universities to guide
them away from the dessert
tray to the vegetable courses
they need to develop healthy
minds. Neal says that colleges
have abdicated that respon-
sibility.
“It’s ludicrous to take an
18-year-old and give them
hundreds of choices when
they don’t have any basis for
making a decision.”
At a time when the cost of
higher education is increas-
ingly prohibitive — and
emphasis tends to focus on
status — students and parents
can find solace in the pos-
sibility that a better educa-
tion can be found in one’s
own backyard. This doesn’t
necessarily mean that a stu-
dent at Lamar will learn more
than one at Harvard. As some
argue, intellectually motivat-
ed students indeed may find
what they need anywhere.
And students properly guided
may fail to absorb what is
offered.
But the study and website
do fill a gap so that parents
and students can make better
choices. As a consequence,
colleges and universities may
be forced to examine their
own responsibility in molding
an educated, well-informed
citizenry.

Jeffcats tune up in scrimmage

By JIM METCALFE
The Delphos Herald
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com
BATH TOWNSHIP — There wasn’t
much offense in the Jefferson versus
Bath scrimmage Saturday afternoon, as
might be expected in a first scrimmage.
Still, both head coaches were pleased
with their respective teams’ performanc-
es.
The only score during the varsity
portion came from Bath during game-
situation time on a 3-yard run by Aaron
Smith.
Jefferson head man Bub Lindeman
was especially happy with his defense.
“We’re banking on our defense this
year. Like today, we expect our defense
to play well and keep us in things until
our offense can get settled,” Lindeman
explained. “What I really liked was
how we were playing with great effort
and that is what you want to see in your
scrimmages; Xs and Os we can correct
but you want to play every down hard.”
The closest the Wildcats did get
to score was reaching the Bath seven
before running out of a 10-play series
and turning the ball over on downs at the
20 during game situations.
Bath head man Chris Miller was also
pleased with his unit’s effort.
“We’re a work in progress. We still
have a long way to go but we took a step
closer today,” Miller noted. “We’re try-
ing to change attitudes around here and
spent a lot of time in the weight room
in the offseason. We’re bigger, stronger
and faster.”
The Jeffcats won the junior var-
sity portion two touchdowns to one as
Braxton Hammons ran in a 23-yard
score and Drew Kortokrax added a
1-yard push.
Bath scored on a 50-yard fumble
return.
“Our offensive line, which is all new Jim Metcalfe photo

this year, got better as the scrimmage

wore on. We got off the ball better Soccer scrimmage

Lindeman added. “No question, we have St. John’s senior Emma Boggs, right, battles alumnus

San Diego 8, San Francisco 2
SAN FRANCISCO — Yorvit
Torrealba homered and Miguel
Tejada hit a 2-run single to back
Wade LeBlanc as the first-place San
Diego Padres took a key series from
the San Francisco Giants with an
8-2 victory Sunday.
Tony Gwynn Jr. and Everth
Cabrera also singled in runs in San
Diego’s 4-run second as San Diego
moved 3 1/2 games ahead of the
Giants in the NL West.
Tim Lincecum (11-7) has the first
losing streak of three straight starts
in his career. The 2-time reigning
NL Cy Young Award winner, facing
the Padres for the first time since
beating them on July 9 last year,
was done after his
second-shortest
outing this year of 3
2/3 innings.
Giants rookie
Buster Posey, bat-
ting second for the
first time this sea-
son, hit a 2-run homer in the third.
LeBlanc (7-10) allowed two runs
and four hits in seven innings.
Phillies 3, Mets 1
NEW YORK — Kyle Kendrick
toyed with New York’s sputtering
offense into the seventh inning and
the Phillies ended the Mets’ miser-
able week.
Jimmy Rollins stole two bases
and Shane Victorino swiped anoth-
er to help manufacture 2-out runs
for the banged-up Phillies. Jayson
Werth tripled and reached base
three times as Philadelphia won
the final two games of the 3-game
series after snapping their 38-inning
scoreless streak at Citi Field.
With a whimper, the Mets ended
a trying week in which a civil suit
was filed against ace Johan Santana
by the woman who accused him
of raping her — no charges were
filed — last year in Florida and
their closer was charged with third-
degree assault for allegedly beating
his girlfriend’s father outside the
family room at Citi Field.
Cubs 9, Cardinals 7
ST. LOUIS — Derrek Lee hom-
ered his first two at-bats, helping
Chicago pummel Kyle Lohse and
knock St. Louis out of first place in
the NL Central.
Ryan Dempster (11-8) won his
third straight start for the Cubs, who
have won only four of 18 but took
two out of three against a team that
had grabbed the division lead with a
3-game sweep at Cincinnati.
St. Louis slugger Albert Pujols
became the first player to hit 30 hom-
ers in his first 10 seasons when he
belted a drive to straightaway cen-
ter in the first. Lohse (1-5) allowed
seven runs in 3-plus innings.
The Cardinals trail Cincinnati by
one game after the Reds beat the
Marlins 2-0. St. Louis scored five
times in the ninth but Carlos Marmol
managed to close it out for his 21st
save in 25 chances.
Reds 2, Marlins 0
CINCINNATI — Miguel Cairo hit
a 2-run homer and Homer Bailey
filled in admirably for the suspended
Johnny Cueto, throwing six impres-
sive innings to help Cincinnati com-
plete the 3-game sweep.
The Reds bounced back from
getting swept by the Cardinals in
their showdown series earlier in the
week. Cueto got a 7-game suspen-
sion for kicking Cardinals during a
brawl on Tuesday.
Cairo connected for his fourth
homer in the sixth inning against
Anibal Sanchez (9-8), who yielded
five hits in six innings.
Bailey (2-2) was activated off
the disabled list and allowed only
three hits, retiring the last 10 batters
he faced. Closer Francisco Cordero
gave up a double and a walk in the
ninth before striking out pinch-hitter
Donnie Murphy for his 32nd save in
38 chances.
Braves 13, Dodgers 1
ATLANTA — Troy Glaus hit a
3-run homer and finished with four
RBIs to lead Atlanta to the big win.
Alex Gonzalez also drove in four
runs for the Braves, who improved
the majors’ best home record to
41-16. Jair Jurrjens (5-4) gave up
one run in seven stellar innings.
Vicente Padilla (6-4) gave up a
season-high eight earned runs in 4
1/3 innings.
Rockies 6, Brewers 5
DENVER — Troy Tulowitzki res-
cued Colorado with a game-ending
RBI single after Milwaukee tied it
with two unearned runs in the ninth.
Centerfielder Dexter Fowler,
a defensive replacement in the
eighth, initially kept the Brewers at
bay when he leaped to rob Chris
Dickerson of a homer leading off the
ninth against Huston Street. But the
Brewers loaded the bases with two
outs after Street hit Rickie Weeks
with a pitch. Second baseman Clint
Barmes dropped Corey Hart’s popup
for an error, letting in a pair of runs
to tie it at 5.
Colorado responded in the bot-
tom half against Trevor Hoffman
(2-6), putting runners on first and
second with two out. Tulowitzki then
drove a Hoffman pitch up the middle
and past the glove of diving second
baseman Weeks, scoring Fowler.
Nationals 5, Diamondbacks 3
WASHINGTON — Ian Desmond
hit a tie-breaking single in the sev-
enth inning, sending the Nationals
to the victory.
With the game tied at 3, Adam
Kennedy led off the seventh with
a single off Jordan Norberto (0-2).
He advanced on pinch-hitter Alberto
Gonzalez’s sacrifice and, after Roger
Bernadina popped out, Desmond
singled to right for the lead. The
hit broke a scoreless streak of 17
2/3 innings by the Diamondbacks
bullpen.
Washington’s Stephen Strasburg
departed after five innings with the
game tied at 3. Adam LaRoche
homered for Arizona and Josh
Willingham and Ryan Zimmerman
connected for Washington.
Astros 8, Pirates 2
HOUSTON — Pinch-hitter Pedro
Feliz hit a 2-run double in Houston’s
4-run sixth inning and the Astros
extended Pittsburgh’s skid to seven

American League
Royals 1, Yankees 0
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Bryan
Bullington, the No. 1 overall draft
pick in 2002, threw eight crisp
innings for his first major-league
win, leading the Kansas City Royals
to a 1-0 victory over
the New York Yankees
on Sunday.
Bullington
allowed two hits,
(1-2)
walked one and struck
out five to outpitch A.J.
Burnett (9-10), who
yielded four hits and one run in eight
innings. Joakim Soria finished the
2-hitter, extending his club record
with his 26th consecutive save.
Alex Rodriguez, who homered
in his final three at-bats Saturday
night, slammed a Bullington pitch to
deep center leading off the second
inning, driving Gregor Blanco almost
to the wall. But A-Rod went down
quietly the rest of the way.
Twins 4, Athletics 2
MINNEAPOLIS — Kevin Slowey
held Oakland without a hit for seven
innings before reliever Jon Rauch
gave up the no-hit bid in the eighth
as the Twins finished their fifth
series weep.
Slowey (11-5) combined with
Jon Rauch, Jesse Crain and Matt
Capps to limit Oakland to three hits,
while Jason Kubel drove in the first
run for Minnesota and Jim Thome
homered for a team that will open
a key AL Central series against the
Chicago White Sox on Tuesday.
The Twins (68-50) also moved
18 games over .500, their best
record in nearly two years.
Vin Mazarro (6-5) was effective
for Oakland, limiting the Twins to
two runs — one earned.
Rays 3, Orioles 2
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. —
Jeremy Hellickson threw six sharp
innings to become the first Tampa
Bay pitcher to win his first three
major-league starts.
Hellickson (3-0) allowed one run
and three hits and has given up
three runs and nine hits over 20
innings in the majors. Carl Crawford
homered and drove in two runs to
support him. Rafael Soriano, the
third Tampa Bay reliever, pitched
the ninth for his 33rd save.
Jake Fox went deep for the
Orioles, who were trying to win
four consecutive series for the first
time since August 3-15, 2004. Jake
Arrieta (4-4) gave up three runs and
six hits over six innings as Baltimore
lost its second straight for the first
time under Buck Showalter.
Blue Jays 4, Angels 1
ANAHEIM, Calif. — Ricky
Romero pitched seven solid innings
one day after signing a multi-year
contract extension and Adam Lind
homered to lead the Blue Jays.
Romero (10-7) allowed six hits,
struck out four and walked three.
The only run off the left-hander
came in the fifth, when Mike Napoli
hit his 19th homer. Kevin Gregg
struck out the side in the ninth for his
27th save in 31 chances.
Dan Haren (1-3) gave up four
runs and nine hits over seven
innings and struck out five in his fifth
start with Angels. The 3-time All-
Star, who averaged 14.6 victories
over the previous five seasons, is
1-7 in his last 12 outings overall.
Rangers 7, Red Sox 3
ARLINGTON, Texas — C.J.
Wilson dominated into the eighth
inning and the AL West-leading
Rangers used small ball to go
ahead before Michael Young’s big
hit against Boston.
Wilson (11-5) limited the Red
Sox to one run and four hits while
striking out eight with one walk.
The left-hander exited after throw-
ing 75 of his 113 pitches for strikes
on a steamy day. Young hit a 3-run
homer in the seventh off Manny
Delcarmen to make it 5-0.
Texas went ahead to stay in the
second against Daisuke Matsuzaka
(8-4) when Jorge Cantu singled,
advanced on a walk and sacrifice
bunt before scoring on Andres
Blanco’s sac fly.
Tigers 13, White Sox 8
CHICAGO — Johnny Damon
hit a go-ahead, 2-run triple in the
eighth inning, Jhonny Peralta hom-
ered twice and the Tigers rallied to
beat the White Sox.
Miguel Cabrera and Ryan
Raburn also connected for the
Tigers, who won for only the third
time in 16 road games. Cabrera
went deep against Sergio Santos
in the seventh and Detroit added
three more in the eighth. Damon
had the key 2-out hit against J.J.
Putz (5-5) but centerfielder Andruw
Jones dropped pinch-hitter Brandon
Inge’s fly ball for a run-scoring error
that made it 9-7.
After Jones homered in the
White Sox eighth, Detroit put the
game away with four runs in the
ninth. Brad Thomas (5-1) pitched a
scoreless seventh for the victory.
Indians 9, Mariners 1
CLEVELAND — Travis Hafner
came off the disabled list to hit a
grand slam, Michael Brantley drove
in three runs and the Indians scored
seven times in the seventh inning.
Hafner connected off Seattle
ace Felix Hernandez (8-10) after
a 2-out error by second baseman
Chone Figgins opened the door for
Cleveland’s uprising.
Tony Sipp (2-2) worked a per-
fect seventh after Justin Masterson
allowed one hit over six scoreless
innings for Cleveland, which is just
4-11 at home since July 24.
Mariners interim manager Daren
Brown dropped to 4-2 since being
promoted from managing Triple-A
Tacoma to replace the fired Dan
Wakamatsu on Monday.

LIMA — When Limaland
Motorsports Park’s all-time
leader in sprint car feature
wins takes top honors in
the season-opener in April,
it might be safe to assume
there’ll a handful of other
conquests before the middle
of August in the same sea-
son.
In racing, it’s never been
safe to assume anything as
every win is to be appreci-
ated, especially in the ultra-
competitive sprint car divi-
sion at Limaland Motorsports
Park.
For veteran campaigner
Tim Allison, a victory in
the Engine Pro/NRA Sprint
Invaders/305 Challenge
25-lap feature was extra
important as he broke a long
dry spell and honored a fam-
ily member.
“The season started off
good for us and then it got a
little rocky with some stupid
stuff,” blurted the long-ago
nicknamed “Mr. Excitement”.
“I want to dedicate this to my
father-in-law as he had open
heart surgery today.”
Allison took his familiar
#11 car to the front at the
start, despite starting on the
inside of row two. A position
penalty against Jeff Williams
for an improper start allowed
Ron Blair to take the race
lead on a restart with the
full 25 laps remaining. Blair
ran strong with Allison and
Todd Heuerman in hot pursuit
through the early laps.
By the fifth circuit, Blair
was working through lapped
traffic and most apparent was
the movement of Tim Hunter,
who had stormed from the
inside of row four to fourth
position. Hunter had finished
runner-up the previous two
weeks and was threatening
again prior to the mid-point of
the main event.
On lap 13, Allison had
successfully set up Blair for
the defining pass on the inside
of turn 2. The caution came
out shortly thereafter, leav-
ing Allison in the lead with
Hunter and Blair the top three
running sprints. A restart on
lap 14 only lasted for an addi-
tional lap as Dallas Hewitt
became out of shape and on
his side in turn 2 just one lap
later.
Finally, a restart on lap 15
established the field behind
Allison as Hunter was now
clearly the chief competitor
for race supremacy. Allison
didn’t hesitate to run the
cushion as fast and hard as
he could to get through the
remaining 10 laps. Another
caution period, this time on lap
23 triggered by a Heuerman
spin, set up a final 2-lap dash
for the feature win.
Michigan ace Dustin
Daggett had moved from his
6th row starting position to
third in the running order and
in a spot to challenge for the
NFL EXHIBITION CAPSULES
The Associated Press
CINCINNATI — Fans booed.
Flashes went off. Tim Tebow had
arrived in the NFL.
With a much better haircut and a
touchdown, no less.
The rookie quarterback from
Florida made his first preseason
appearance Sunday night and got
into the end zone on the final play
of a 33-24 loss to the Cincinnati
Bengals.
Tebow went 8-of-13 for 105 yards
in the second half, with most of the
completions and yards coming on
the final drive against a soft defense.
That one ended with Tebow scram-
bling 7 yards for a TD, running over
safety Kyries Hebert to score.
Kyle Orton was impressive in
his preseason debut, throwing two
touchdown passes in three series
and reminding Broncos fans that he’s
the one running the offense if not sell-
HAVING MORE RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS
IS NOT THE SAME
AS HAVING MORE MONEY.
When it comes to the number of retirement accounts you
have, the saying “more is better” is not necessarily true. In
fact, if you hold multiple accounts with various brokers, it
can be difficult to keep track of your investments and to
see if you’re properly diversified.* At the very least, multiple
accounts usually mean multiple fees.
Bringing your accounts to Edward Jones could help solve
all that. Plus, one statement can make it easier to see if
you’re moving toward your goals.
*Diversification does not guarantee a profit or protect against loss.
To learn why consolidating your retirement accounts
to Edward Jones makes sense, call your local financial
advisor today.

win with two laps remain-
ing. Any hopes either Blair
or Daggett would threaten
Allison were quickly dashed
as the veteran was in total
control on the restart and
roared to the popular victory.
It marked the 27th win for
Allison in the 13 years of
UNOH ownership of LMP.
Allison himself declared it
to be his 97th career win at
various tracks during his stel-
lar sprint car racing career.
Hunter held on for a third

fail, so the financial risk is
Sternberg said. Networks are

all having median ages in
their mid-50s.”
The risk in having a rap-
idly aging audience is the
networks becoming less
relevant to advertisers, the
backbone of their business.
Increasingly, that’s a way of
thinking that itself is getting
old.
Sternberg first started
studying median age data
using Nielsen Co. statistics
in 1991 when he was at the
Bozell ad agency. At the time,
ABC’s median age — the
point at which half its audi-
ence was younger and half
older — was 37. NBC’s was
42 and Fox’s was 29. CBS,
which has traditionally had
the oldest audience, was 45.
For years, these networks
(except for CBS) have sold
advertising based on how
many people were watch-
ing in the 18-to-49-year-old
demographic. Both CBS (55)
and ABC (51) had median
ages above that range last
too great if it isn’t really nec-
essary.
With the show aging and
star Charlie Sheen in legal
trouble, “Two and a Half
Men” might have been a ripe
candidate for cancellation in
another era. Instead, CBS
made Sheen the highest paid
comedy actor on TV and kept
the sitcom on the air. The
show’s median age is 50.
“Dancing With the Stars,”
with a median audience age
of 60, is the most popular
series on ABC’s schedule.
Its youngest-skewing show,
“Lost,” just went off the air.
Shows such as “24” and
“House” broadened Fox’s
audience beyond its youth-
oriented roots. The median
age of the “American Idol”
audience has jumped from
36 to 44 over the past seven
seasons, the report said.
Young people who left when
“Friends” went off the air are

Anti-immigrant sentiment fuels attacks

CRISTIAN SALAZAR
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — When Rodolfo Olmedo
was dragged down by a group of men shout-
ing anti-Mexican epithets and bashed over the
head with a wooden stick on the street outside
his home, he instinctively covered his face to
keep from getting disfigured. Blood filled his
mouth.
“I wanted to scream, but I couldn’t because
of the beating they were giving me,” said the
25-year-old baker. Nearly five months later,
he is still taking pain medications for his head
injuries.
Recorded by a store’s surveillance cam-
era, the assault was the first of 11 suspected
anti-Hispanic bias attacks in a Staten Island
neighborhood, re-igniting years-old tensions
between blacks and Hispanics in New York
City’s most remote borough.
Residents of Port Richmond — where an
influx of newcomers from Latin America over
the past decade has transformed the commu-
nity — alternately blame the attacks on the
economy, unemployment and the debate over
Arizona’s immigration law.
And although most of the suspects were
described as young black men and investigated
for bias crimes, a grand jury has indicted only
one of seven people arrested on a hate-crime
charge.
But Isaias Lozano, a day laborer, said he
knows why he was attacked and robbed in
December by “morenos” — the Spanish word
he uses to describe his black neighbors.
“They hate us because we’re Mexicans,” he
said while sitting at El Centro del Inmigrante,
a center for immigrant day workers. “They
aren’t robbing just anybody.”
Across the United States, the immigration
debate plays out in suspicion of outsiders
and sometimes escalates into violence. Port
Richmond, tucked in a corner of New York
City that most visitors never see, is wrestling
with the perennial question of how people
from different backgrounds can live together
and get along.
Some community leaders here blame the
attacks on hoodlums preying on day laborers,
who are perceived as easy targets because they
often carry cash home from work. Others say
the Arizona law is stirring up a climate of intol-
erance, even these thousands of miles away.
“It’s a cascading effect,” said the Rev.
Terry Troia, a board member of El Centro
del Inmigrante. “There are negative impulses
being put out there both nationally and locally.
People on the fringe catch a piece of that, and
they are acting on it.”
Some of Port Richmond’s black residents
assert that newcomers’ presence touches a nerve.
Mike Mason, 47, a teacher who works in New
Jersey, said the arrival of Mexican immigrants
had changed the texture of the community.
“America has got to do something as far as
immigration goes,” he said. “In the morning
you can see the streets lined with undocu-
mented workers ... That’s always in the back
of people’s minds.”
Staten Island is a relatively isolated, subur-
ban-like borough of New York City. It is home
to nearly 500,000 people, most of whom live
in detached homes instead of apartments, need
cars to get around and a ferry to get across New
York Harbor to Manhattan.

Public school moves practices for

Muslim holy month, summer heat
DEARBORN, Mich. (AP) — Illuminated
by the night lights on the football field, Adnan
Restum joined a scrum of teammates at the
end-zone water fountain, taking a break from a
grueling preseason football workout to guzzle
a drink.
In just a few hours, he wouldn’t be able to
take a sip. But the 17-year-old defensive tackle
could rehydrate guilt-free during the 11 p.m. to
4 a.m. practice, and succumb to tempting boxes
full of granola bars and chocolate milk, too.
The moonlight practice is tailored for
Restum and fellow Muslim teammates who
make up a majority of the Fordson High
School squad in the large Arab community of
Dearborn. It’s a way for the players to practice
football and their faith, and balance the fast-
ing common during the 30-day holy month of
Ramadan that started last week.
“It feels really great,” said Restum, who has
been fasting since he was about 10. “If we’re
doing it during the day, we wouldn’t have water
and it would be really hot and everything.”
Fordson High’s head coach Fouad Zaban
proposed reversing the clock and moving prac-
tice to nighttime after realizing the rotating
Ramadan would fall squarely during the start
of a two-a-day practice schedule that launches
football season.
Cutting practice wasn’t an option at foot-
ball-crazy Fordson, which has won four state
titles and three runner-up seasons since it was
established in 1928, and is coming off a one-
loss season. But no one wanted to lessen the
significance of Ramadan at the school in the
Detroit suburb widely known as the capital of
Arab-America.
Zaban, 40, a Muslim and former Fordson
player, knows the high stakes. When Ramadan
falls during football season, the players prac-
tice during daylight hours. But with August’s
heat and doubled practice schedule, concerns
grew about players’ health, particularly the
high risk of heat stroke.
“We know how hot it’s been this summer
— it’s not safe,” Zaban said.
Working it out meant getting the approval
of school and district administrators and the
blessings of players, parents and police. Then,
there were the residents in the surrounding
neighborhood, who would hear more noise
and see the illuminated field. So he sent letters
explaining the decision.
Zaban is unaware of such schedule switches
elsewhere, though other teams at the school
and in the district have moved practices earlier
or later in the day. It’s been more than three
decades since Ramadan last fell during football
preseason and Fordson’s Muslim population
was far smaller then — and, he notes, there
were no field lights.
Zaban said the goal has been to let play-
ers break the fast at sundown and go to the
mosque, and get players out in time for a meal
and morning prayer before sunrise. The field
is near bustling bakeries, cafes and restaurants
catering to late-night customers.
But first, there are drills.
“Keep running! Heads up!” Zaban yelled
while leading a passing drill. And, when a
receiver flubbed a one-handed catch, the coach
barked, “Hey, two hands!” The result was 20
push-ups.
Zaban said whether players fast is a per-
sonal choice and never an issue raised by him
or his staff. Still, he says, it shouldn’t be an
excuse for poor performance for the roughly
95 percent who do.
He ended the session before 4 a.m. with
a message to the huddled, padded masses to
“drink lots of water,” ‘’get a good meal in,”
and “man up.”

China world’s No. 2 economy

TOMOKO A. HOSAKA
The Associated Press
TOKYO — Japan lost its
place as the world’s No. 2
economy to China in the sec-
ond quarter as receding global
growth sapped momentum
and stunted a shaky recovery.
Gross domestic product
grew at an annualized rate of
just 0.4 percent, the govern-
ment said Today, far below
the annualized 4.4 percent
expansion in the first quar-
ter and adding to evidence
the global recovery is facing
strong headwinds.
The figures underscore
China’s emergence as an eco-
nomic power that is changing
everything from the global
balance of military and finan-
cial power to how cars are
designed. It is already the big-
gest exporter, auto buyer and
steel producer, and its global
influence is expanding.
China has been a major
force behind the world’s
emergence from deep reces-
sion, delivering much-needed
juice to the U.S., Japan and
Europe. Tokyo’s latest num-
bers, however, suggest that
Chinese demand alone may
not be enough for Japan or
other economic giants.
China has surpassed
Japan in quarterly GDP fig-
ures before, but this time it’s
unlikely to relinquish the
lead.
China’s economy will
almost certainly be bigger than
Japan’s at the end of 2010
because of the huge difference
in each country’s growth rates.
China is growing at about 10
percent a year, while Japan’s
economy is forecast to grow
between 2 to 3 percent this
year. The gap between the size
of the two economies at the
end of last year was already
narrow.
Japan’s nominal GDP,
which isn’t adjusted for price
and seasonal variations, was
worth $1.286 trillion in the
April-to-June quarter com-
pared with $1.335 trillion for
China. The figures are con-
verted into dollars based on
an average exchange rate for
the quarter.
Japan has held the No.
2 spot after the U.S. since
1968, when it overtook West
Germany. From the ashes of
World War II, the country
rose to become a global manu-
facturing and financial power-
house. But its so-called “eco-
nomic miracle” turned into a
massive real estate bubble in
the 1980s before imploding
in 1991.
What followed was a
decade of stagnant growth
and economic malaise from
which the country never real-
ly recovered. Prime Minister
Naoto Kan now faces a long
list of daunting problems: a
rapidly aging and shrinking
population, persistently weak
domestic demand, deflation, a
strong yen and slowing growth
in key export markets.
In contrast, China’s growth
has been spectacular, its vora-
cious appetite fueling demand
for resources, machinery and
products from the developing
world as well as rich econo-
mies like Japan and Australia.
China is Japan’s top trading
partner.
China’s rise has produced
glaring contradictions. The
wealth gap between an elite
who profited most from three
decades of reform and its poor
majority is so extreme that
China has dozens of billion-
aires while average income
for the rest of its 1.3 billion
people is among the world’s
lowest.
Japan’s people still are
among the world’s richest,
with a per capita income of
$37,800 last year, compared
with China’s $3,600. So are
Americans at $42,240, their
economy still by far the big-
gest.
