Somber 150th
anniversary
of Civil War
By BRUCE SMITH
The Associated Press
CHARLESTON, S.C. — Booming can-
nons, plaintive period music and hushed crowds
ushered in the 150th anniversary of America’s
bloodiest war on Tuesday, a commemoration
that continues to underscore a racial divide that
had plagued the nation since before the Civil
War.
The events marked the 150th anniversary of
the Confederate bombardment of Union-held
Fort Sumter in Charleston Harbor, an engage-
ment that plunged the nation into four years of
war at a cost of more than 600,000 lives.
Several hundred people gathered on
Charleston’s Battery in the pre-dawn darkness,

TOKYO — Angry resi-

demanding compensation
as the company’s president
pledged to do more to help.

Shigeaki Konno, 73, an auto
repair mechanic, who lived
seven miles (11 kilometers)
from the Fukushima Dai-ichi
nuclear plant before the area
was evacuated due to leak-

compensation is not concrete.
We need it quickly.”

synagogue blast
charged in Calif., ohio
By MeGHAn BArr

J. sHeerAn

CLEVELAND HEIGHTS
— The man in a blue jack-
et and jeans attracted little
attention when he entered
a Hebrew prayer room out-
side Cleveland, far from the
California city where authori-
ties suspect he assembled an
explosive device that dam-
aged a synagogue and nearby
house.
Ron Hirsch entered
Agudath Israel study hall in
Cleveland Heights, took a
seat and appeared to begin
praying. To another worship-
per, the 60-year-old “just
looked like an innocent old
soul” — only his attire set
him apart from the others,
who wore black suits.
“So we didn’t pay any
attention to him,” said Jerry
Elliot. “Later on in the eve-
ning, police came and put the
cuffs on him.”
Hirsch, a transient known
to seek charity at synagogues
and other Jewish community
centers, was charged in feder-
al court Tuesday with fleeing
to avoid prosecution after the
explosion last week in Santa
Monica. He is scheduled to
appear in federal court today,
the U.S. attorney’s office in
Cleveland said.
Los Angeles County pros-
ecutors also filed four felo-
ny charges against Hirsch,
including possession of a
destructive device near a
public place and private res-
idence, and explosion with
intent to murder.

declined to elaborate on the
intent to murder charge, say-
ing she couldn’t discuss evi-
dence in the case.
Prosecutors are seeking
Hirsch’s extradition from
Ohio. Authorities did not say
whether he had an attorney.
Hirsch’s arrest in Cleveland
Heights late Monday came
after a rabbi recognized him
from news reports about the
explosion near Chabad House
Lubavitch.
An FBI affidavit said
Hirsch was linked to the
explosion by a mailing label
on a box of demolition agent.
The package was addressed to
him and sent to a place across
the street from the explosion
site, federal authorities said.
Investigators initially
believed the blast was an
industrial accident because of
the device’s strange construc-
tion: explosives inside hun-
dreds of pounds of concrete
and poured into a trashcan.
Jewish groups have said
they did not believe anti-
Semitism was necessarily
behind it.
A few hours after the
explosion, Hirsch purchased
a Greyhound bus ticket to
New York, where authori-
ties believe he has relatives,
according to the warrant. But
his bus was more than an
hour late, so he missed his
connection.
Surveillance cameras cap-
tured Hirsch getting off the
bus in Denver on Friday eve-
ning, going to the ticket coun-
ter and then boarding another
eastbound bus, the FBI said.
Hirsch’s cross-country
road trip ended in a Jewish
enclave similar to the one
he left behind in California,
A probable cause search

was charged with possession
of and trafficking of crack
cocaine, both first degree fel-
onies, as well as possession
of oxycodone, a fifth degree
felony, and possession of and
trafficking of ecstasy, both
second-degree felonies. The

urb, synagogues and kosher
restaurants are crowded onto
one main street.
Residents of the well-kept
homes nearby said Hirsch
went door-to-door Monday
seeking money, a common
occurrence. Jewish charity
groups often make the rounds
of the neighborhood request-
ing money, neighbors said.
Yaakov Bernstein, 32, said
his 5-year-old son came to the
front door with a man who
matched Hirsch’s description.
The man, who said he was
visiting from Oregon, wanted
to borrow a yarmulke, but
Bernstein did not have one to
lend him.
“Then I asked him in for
a drink and he ignored me
and walked away,” Bernstein
said.
Rabbi Sruly Wolf of
Cleveland Heights said the man
had asked another rabbi for a
place to stay Sunday night and
was put up in a hotel because
he didn’t provide appropriate
identification to allow him to
stay at a guest apartment. Wolf
advised the rabbi to call police,
and he did.
When approached by
police, Hirsch offered his
actual name, birthdate and
Social Security number and
told officers that he had come
to Cleveland Heights from
California for kidney surgery.
Neighbors near the site of
the Santa Monica explosion
described Hirsch as a quiet
man who sometimes slept by
the side of the synagogue. In

familiar locale for help.

AKRON (AP) — Police
in Ohio say a man was elec-
trocuted trying to steal copper
piping from a faded shopping
mall.
Akron fire Capt. David
Ware said the man was on
fire when firefighters arrived
at the Rolling Acres Mall
Tuesday afternoon. They’d
been summoned by witness-
es who reported hearing an
explosion and seeing smoke
coming from an electrical
cabinet at the mostly vacant
shopping center.
Ware tells the Akron
Beacon Journal the man had
bolt cutters in his hand.
The coroner’s office says
it will take dental records to
identify the severely burned
body.
The explosion led to a
power outage in the area that
lasted more than three hours.
FirstEnergy Corp. says the

Report finds
thousands of dead
on voter rolls
COLUMBUS (AP) —
Ohio’s top elections official
says it appears that thousands
of voters considered “active”
are anything but.
Secretary of State Jon
Husted says a report has found
nearly 18,500 dead people
on the state’s voter rolls.
Records of registered vot-
ers were cross-checked with
a list of deceased Ohioans
maintained by the state Health
Department.
The secretary is asking
county elections boards to
purge those who are deceased
from the statewide voter data- a two-day increase in their
base.
Husted said in a statement
Tuesday that the integrity of
voter data is critical from a
cost, quality and confidence
standpoint.
He wants to establish a
more centralized state data-
base so his office could more
easily compare voter informa-
tion with files kept by several
state agencies, including the
Bureau of Motor Vehicles and
the prisons department.

snow days
COLUMBUS (AP) — Gov.
John Kasich plans today to
sign a bill to give Ohio schools
annual snow days. The legisla-
tion would apply to the current
school year.
A relentless winter had
led many schools to use up
their current allotment of three
calamity days, meaning they
would have to make up any
further time lost due to weath-
er.
School districts previously
had five days but lost two under
former Gov. Ted Strickland.
The Ohio House had balked
at certain Senate changes to
the bill, which had temporarily
stalled it. But the Senate voted

Obama pivots, eyes Medi-
care changes, tax increases
By JIM KUHNHENN
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — tax system.
President Barack Obama, two
years into a presidency that
increased spending to prime a
weak economy, is turning his
attention to the nation’s crush-
ing debt and trying to counter
a Republican anti-deficit plan
with a framework of his own
that tackles politically sen-
sitive health care programs
while also increasing taxes.
The president today is to
deliver a speech outlining his
proposal to reduce spending
in Medicare and Medicaid,
raise taxes on the wealthy and
cut defense costs. In a pre-
emptive response Tuesday,
House Speaker John Boehner,
R-Ohio, called any proposed
tax increase “a nonstarter.”
The White House wouldn’t
offer details of the president’s
approach ahead of the speech.
But an official commenting
on the condition of anonymity
said the plan borrows from the
December recommendations
of Obama’s bipartisan fiscal
commission, which proposed
$4 trillion in deficit reduction
over 10 years.
In a preview of the speech,
the White House said it aims
to achieve “balanced” deficit
reduction by keeping domes-
tic spending low, reducing
the defense budget, cutting
excess health care spending
House Republicans vehemently opposing tax hikes
WASHINGTON (AP)
— Leading congressional
Republicans renewed their
vehement opposition to tax
increases today, as President
Barack Obama prepared to
put forth his new prescription
for slow growth and national
indebtedness.
“Most people understand
that Washington doesn’t
have a revenue problem, it
has a spending problem,”
said House Majority Leader
Eric Cantor, R-Va. “We can’t
raise taxes. ... That was set-
tled last November during the
elections.”
Joining Cantor in appear-
ing on morning network news
programs, Rep. Paul Ryan of
Wisconsin, Republican chair-
man of the House Ways and
Means Committee, also ruled
out tax increases, saying the
country needs tax “reform,”
not tax hikes.
House GOP budget retains Democratic Medicare cuts
By DAVID ESPO
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — In a
postelection reversal, House
Republicans are support-
ing nearly $450 billion in
Medicare cuts that they criti-
cized vigorously last fall when
Democrats and President
Barack Obama passed them
as part of their controversial
health care law.
The cuts are included in
the 2012 budget that Rep.
Paul Ryan, R-Wis., unveiled
last week and account for a
significant share of the $5.8
trillion in claimed savings
over the next decade.
The House is expected
to vote on the blueprint this
week.
Ryan’s spokesman, Conor
Sweeney, said the cuts are
virtually the only part of
“Obamacare” — the term that
Republicans use derisively to
describe the health care law
enacted last year — that the
Wisconsin Republican pre-
served when he drafted his
budget.
If left in effect, they would
retain smaller payments over
the next decade for hospi-
tals, nursing homes, hospices
and other Medicare provid-
ers that Democrats put in
effect. In addition, federal
subsidies would decline for
seniors who purchase cov-
erage through private insur-
ance plans under Medicare
Advantage, although Ryan
proposed a small partial res-
toration in that area.
Last fall, in their drive to
win control of the House,
Republicans were harshly
critical of the Democrats on
the issue of cuts to a pro-
gram that benefits millions of
seniors.
“The new law’s mas-
sive Medicare cuts will fall
in the nation’s biggest ben-
efit programs, and eliminating
loopholes and breaks in the
Obama’s speech will draw
contrasts with a Republican
plan that cuts $5 trillion in
spending over the next decade
and which the White House
says unfairly singles out
middle-class taxpayers, older
adults and the poor.
This new clash, just a week
after the president announced
he would seek re-election,
ensures that the nation’s fis-
cal health will be at the cen-
ter of the 2012 presidential
campaign. For the past two
months, Obama has been
arguing to protect his core
spending priorities, includ-
ing education and innovation.
His turn to deficit reduction
reflects the pressures he faces
in a divided Congress and
with a public increasingly
anxious about the nation’s
debt, now exceeding $14 tril-
lion.
The president is wad-
ing into a potential politi-
cal thicket. Liberals fear he
will propose cuts in prized
Democratic programs like
Medicare and Medicaid, the
health care programs for older
adults, the disabled and the
poor, and in Social Security.
Moderates worry that his
plan could unravel bipartisan
deficit-cutting negotiations.
And Republicans already are
The GOP figures made the
rounds of news shows ahead
of Obama’s speech this after-
noon outlining his latest ideas
for combating mounting fed-
eral deficits and for coping
with slow economic growth
and lingering high unemploy-
ment.
Intense bargaining over
the last two weeks that
allowed Obama and House
Republicans to avert a partial
government shutdown over
budget differences mere-
ly primed the pump for an
even more intense, and more
protracted, national budget
debate in the coming weeks.
It’s a discussion that will be
complicated by the need soon
to raise the government’s debt
limit to avoid default.
Cantor said, “We cannot
fix our fiscal crisis and bring
down the debt just with cuts
alone. Washington has been
squarely on the backs of
seniors, millions of whom
will be forced off their cur-
rent Medicare coverage,” the
GOP wrote in their Pledge to
America, an election-season
manifesto. In making the
claim, Republicans cited the
chief actuary at the Centers
for Medicare and Medicaid,
which oversees both pro-
grams.
In addition to the Pledge to
America, House Speaker John
Boehner, House Majority
Leader Eric Cantor and indi-
vidual Republican candidates
all criticized the cuts.
The National Republican
Congressional Committee
featured them in ads attack-
ing Democrats in numerous
campaign commercials, and
some individual candidates
made use of the cuts as well.
Sweeney said the GOP
budget puts the Medicare
savings to a different pur-
pose than Obama and the
Democrats favored.
“The president’s health
care law takes hundreds
of billions of dollars from
Medicare to help fund a new,
open-ended entitlement pro-
gram,” he said. “Chairman
Ryan has put forward a bud-
get that stops the raid on
Medicare and ensures that
all current-law savings and
future reforms are devoted to
saving Medicare.”
Other Republican spokes-
men echoed Sweeney.
“The fact is that Democrats
robbed Medicare in order to
pay for their massive gov-
ernment health care take-
over,” said Paul Lindsay, a
spokesman for the NRCC.
“Which is a huge contrast to
the House Republican plan to
take that savings and use it to
strengthen that program for
today’s seniors.”
In fact, some of the
www.delphosherald.com
poised to reject any proposal
that includes tax increases.
For the White House, the
speech at George Washington
University comes as Obama
pushes Congress to raise the
limit on the national debt,
which will permit the gov-
ernment to borrow more and
thus meet its financial obliga-
tions. The country will reach
its debt limit of $14.3 trillion
by May 16. The Treasury
Department has warned that
failure to raise it by midsum-
mer would drive up the cost
of borrowing and destroy the
economic recovery.
Republicans have said
they would not raise the debt
ceiling without deficit reduc-
tion, or at least without the
White House showing prog-
ress toward sizable cuts in
long-term spending. White
House spokesman Jay Carney
reiterated the White House
view Tuesday that passage of
a higher debt ceiling should
not be encumbered with defi-
cit-reduction legislation.
Pressure from Congress,
however, eventually could
result in a debt ceiling deal
that includes fiscal discipline
measures, though not neces-
sarily a wholesale restructur-
ing of government benefit
programs.
Obama will brief Congress’
bipartisan leadership in the
contents of his speech this
morning at the White House.
on a spending spree of late.”
But both he and Ryan said
they were pleased that Obama
has engaged the debate.
“The president hasn’t even
engaged in negotiations,”
Ryan said, “so I’m glad he’s
starting this conversation. ...
We don’t have a problem
because Americans don’t pay
enough taxes.”
Tea party-backed Rep.
Michele Bachmann, R-Minn.,
said she, too, believes tax
increases should be ruled
out.
“I don’t think it should be
on the table because tax rates
are high enough already,” she
said.
Cantor appeared on
CBS’s “The Early Show.”
Ryan was interviewed on
ABC’s “Good Morning
America” and Bachmann
commented on NBC’s
“Today” program.
Republican criticism last
year was couched in terms of
diverting Medicare savings
into another program. But
much was not, in particular
the television commercials
seen by millions of voters and
financed by the GOP cam-
paign organization.
“Congresswoman Ann
Kirkpatrick voted for
Obamacare, costing us
over $1 trillion and cutting
Medicare for seniors,” said
an NRCC ad that ran during
Rep. Paul Gosar’s successful
campaign in Arizona.
Rep. Sanford Bishop
“voted to cut Medicare for
our senior citizens by $500
billion,” the NRCC said in a
commercial that was part of
an unsuccessful attempt to
defeat a long-term Georgia
Democratic incumbent.
“Let’s save Medicare, and
cut Schauer,” the NRCC said
in a third ad, this one part
of a successful campaign in
which Tim Walberg turned
Rep. Mark Schauer, D-Mich.,
out of office.
For Democrats and the
White House, the cuts were
an admittedly controversial
part of the health care bill
they succeeded in passing
a year ago over unanimous
Republican opposition.
At the time, critics in
both parties criticized them
as politically unsustainable
and predicted that Congress
would buckle under pressure
from providers to ease the
reductions before they could
take full effect.
Republicans and other sup-
porters of private Medicare
were particularly critical of
the cuts in subsidies for sub-
scribers, saying they would
force insurance companies
to raise premiums for their
customers or perhaps cancel
their coverage plans.

a battle that has

than the Civil

at least it is over. Last year I

conclusion. Now I need to

NBA CAPSULES
By The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Derrick
Rose and the Chicago Bulls
tied San Antonio for the
NBA’s best record, over-
whelming the New York
Knicks to start the second
half and winning 103-90 on
Tuesday night for their eighth
straight victory.
Rose scored 26 points for
the Bulls, who opened the
third quarter with a 26-2 spurt
over the first 7-plus minutes
and improved to 61-20. Luol
Deng added 23 points and 10
rebounds, and Carlos Boozer
had 14 points and 22 boards
as Chicago outrebounded
New York 51-33.
Chicago, already assured
the best record in the Eastern
Conference, tied San Antonio
for the best record and home-
court advantage throughout
the playoffs. The tiebreakers
are all even, so a random
drawing would be held if they
finish with the same record as
the Spurs, who lost to the Los
Angeles Lakers on Tuesday
night.
Just in case he still need-
ed to, Rose put on a show
for the MVP voters watch-
ing the nationally televised
game, shooting 10 of 19 and
throwing down a few crowd-
pleasing dunks.
Carmelo Anthony scored
21 points for the Knicks who
had their seven-game win-
ning streak snapped. Locked
into the No. 6 seed and a first-
round matchup with Boston,
New York rested Amare
Stoudemire for the third
straight game, though his
sprained left ankle was well
enough to play. Stoudemire
might sit again Wednesday
when the Knicks close the
regular season at Boston in a
playoff preview.
Jays grab 3-2 win over Minster
Delphos St. John’s raised
its record to 2-1 (1-1 MAC)
Tuesday night with a 3-2 win
over the Minster Wildcats.
Lakers 102, Spurs 93
LOS ANGELES — Kobe
Bryant scored 27 points and Los
Angeles snapped their five-game
losing streak at a potentially high
cost, losing center Andrew Bynum
to a hyperextended right knee in a
victory over San Antonio.
The Lakers’ hopes for a third
straight NBA title might have
taken a significant blow when
Bynum fell to the court after step-
ping on DeJuan Blair’s foot dur-
ing the second period. The shot-
blocking 7-footer will have an MRI
on Wednesday while the Lakers
wrap up the regular season at
Sacramento.
Lamar Odom scored 23 points
as the Lakers struggled to hold
off the Spurs, who rested stars
Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili and
Tony Parker with the Western
Conference’s top seed already
wrapped up.
Gary Neal scored 16 points
and Matt Bonner had 13 for the
Spurs, whose four-game winning
streak ended.
Spurs coach Gregg Popovich
didn’t worry about falling into a
tie with surging Chicago for the
NBA’s best overall record, yet
his junior varsity nearly knocked
off the discombobulated Lakers,
who couldn’t breathe easily until
Bryant’s 3-pointer put them up
96-88 with 2:55 to play.
The Lakers will get the No.
2 seed in the West with a win at
Sacramento or a loss by Dallas.
Trail Blazers 102, Grizzlies 89
PORTLAND, Ore. — LaMarcus
Aldridge had 22 points and 11
rebounds and Portland locked up
the sixth seed in the Western
Conference with a victory over
Memphis.
The Blazers, who won their
third straight, will have to wait until
the regular season’s final games
Wednesday night to learn their
opponent for the first round of the
playoffs.
Memphis, which played with-
out starters Zach Randolph and
Tony Allen, was still jockeying for
seeding. The Grizzlies and New
Orleans are wrestling between the
final two spots with just one game
to play apiece.
The Grizzlies visit the Clippers
while the Hornets are at Dallas on
Wednesday night. Portland wraps
up the regular season at Golden
State.
Mike Conley led the Grizzlies
with 17 points.
Jays while Ross Heitkamp took
the loss for Minster (4-6).

DELPHOS — This was
one for the ages.
Jefferson and Ottoville
proved that no lead is really
safe in baseball, especially
at the high school level, on a
brilliant but windy Tuesday
afternoon at Wildcat Field in
Delphos.
The host Red and White
went up 3-0 in the first
inning, only to see the Green
and Gold score the next 12
runs to take a seemingly safe
12-3 lead at the end of 4 1/2
innings.
Seemingly was the opera-
tive word as Jefferson scored
the next 13 runs, 10 in the
pivotal sixth frame, to seize
a 16-13 non-conference tri-
umph.

Spencerville on Monday night
to capture a 4-2 victory in
Putnam County League action
against the Pandora-Gilboa
Rockets on Tuesday night.
The Bulldogs scored a run
in the first and never gave
up the lead, Zach Barrientes
went 1 for 3 with an RBI
and made eight put outs in
the field including a pair of
double plays and a pick off of
a Rocket runner to help guide
the Columbus Grove victory.
Matt Jay had a 2 for 4 per-
formance with a pair of runs
batted in, the Grove catcher
had a pair of singles and a
stolen base in the win, while
Trey Roney went the distance
on the mound, giving up just
one earned run.
Barrientes led off the game
with a single, stole second and
moved to third on a grounder;
Jay later singled to left, scor-
ing Barrientes making it a 1-0
game.
The Rockets threatened in
their half of the first, getting
three runners on, but Brian
Schenk flew out to left to end
the inning.
The guests would tack on
two more runs in the third
after Blake Hoffman led off
the inning with a double,
Barrientes hit a grounder to
second, moving Hoffman to
third, a batter later Spencer
Wolf grounded to the right
side of the infield, scoring
Hoffman, giving the Bulldogs
a 2-0 advantage.
Jay hit a two out single and
stole second then scored on a
Basinger would hit into a 6
to 4 double play to end the
threat. Grove would add one
more in the fifth after a lead
off walk to Hoffman and a
Jay single, in the course of the
frame a pair of wild pitches
set up the Jay RBI single, to
make it a 4-1 count in favor
of Grove.
However, P-G would move
a run across in the sixth after
a triple by Josh Breece and
one out later a single by Seth
Schmenk cut the lead in half
at 4-2. The Bulldogs went
down in order in the top of the
seventh and the Rockets made
some noise in their half.
After two were out the
hosts made a serious threat,
Nathan Schutz doubled and
Levi Hovest singled, putting
runners on the corners with
two outs, Breece came up and
hit a long fly to center, but
Hoffman was there to haul it
in and preserve the victory.

Manny Ramirez has long made a
“name” for himself of being, well, a
kook! A lovable kook, yes, but a kook.
He was recently found guilty of using
a performance-enhancing drug and
instead of facing a 100-game suspension
— his second violation of Major League
Baseball’s substance-abuse policy — he
decided to call it quits on a career and the
Tampa Bay Rays.
Punditry turned its attention to wheth-
er or not he will end up in the Hall of
Fame at Cooperstown.
On the field, the offensive stats shout
that he is Hall-worthy in 2017, when
he first becomes eligible; 1,831 RBIs,
555 home runs, .312 batting average,
.411 on-base percentage, .585 slugging
percentage. Many professional analysts
that I have heard speak on the subject
consider him the greatest right-handed
hitter who has plied his trade the last two
decades.
At times, he was a lovable guy and
helped keep things light in the clubhouse.
In the heat of a pennant chase, that might
be needed as much as a 40-homer guy or
a shut-down closer.
However, will some of his on-field
behavior: taking a bathroom break dur-
ing a game; seemingly only interested in
playing part of the time; angering more
than a few organizations; and his off-the-
field behavior, being a 2-time drug loser
in the Age of Testing; help keep him out
of Cooperstown?
Let’s face it; he wasn’t in the majors
because of his speed and defense.
Some have pointed out that he already
paid for his first crime — true enough
— and that anything before there was
testing is irrelevent because drug use was
not “illegal” — had no restrictions — in
baseball anyway.
Huh? That is an “answer”? Here’s
mine: they were illegal everywhere else,
so that is no defense.
Remember, the union had to be
dragged into allowing testing kicking
and screaming — even though they
surely didn’t have to be dragged into
increasing salaries, by the way.
Two, by that argument (in this I agree
but I wonder how many others making
this argument don’t), haven’t Shoeless
Joe and Pete Rose suffered enough? They
have been given life sentences — for
Shoeless Joe, beyond the grave, and for
Pete, likely to his grave — when even
murderers have the possibility of parole.
I understand about the gambling and such
but tell me PEDs — even cocaine, LSD
and the like, apparently things that were
fine by Baseball standards — and such
don’t go to the integrity of the game.
Some try to claim that PEDs don’t
work — they tried to make that claim in
the 1970s about steroids and once they
found out they do, the arguer’s cred-
ibility was gone — and that only Barry
Bonds was the only one that really got a
boost from using them.
True, Bonds is a special case but how
many others didn’t deteriorate as much
as they might have had they not used?
If some PEDS help you recover quick-
er, from either injury or just the normal
wear and tear of a season, how many
players lasted longer than they “should”
have, thus collecting more money and
padding stats?
We might never know because to do
so, there would have to be constant test-
ing — like in anything else, be it a new

medicine or treatment — to really figure
it out.
I don’t believe the union or MLB is
going to be gung-ho to find all of that
out. I think both parties simply want this
self-imposed nightmare to just be over
and move on.
The timing might be the worst of all,
with Barry Bonds on trial and the jury
still out.
Some have argued that Manny is dif-
ferent from say, a Mark McGuire, who
made a fool of himself in congressional
testimony. Manny didn’t try to “justify”
it, lie about it or rationalize it away.
That is true. He just simply retired.
Here is my guess as to what will hap-
pen: McGwire, Ramirez and many oth-
ers, like Rafael Palmeiro, will eventually
get in. It may be 2020 or later, after they
have served their penance.
If Bonds is found guilty of perjury,
which based on the limited testimony
I have read or heard he did (I am no
lawyer, though), he is done. Unless a
convicted felon is allowed in the Hall
or to even be on the ballot. If that ends
up being the case and Bonds eventually
does go in, how can anyone make a seri-
ous argument to keep Rose and Shoeless
Joe out?
Unless perjury is not illegal in
Baseball!

Attorneys for NFL
players meet with judge
By JON KRAWCZYNSKI
The Associated Press
MINNEAPOLIS — since 1987.
Attorneys for NFL players
met Tuesday with the federal
magistrate who will
oversee court-ordered
mediation with the
league as the lockout
reached one month
and counting.
Attorneys and Hall
of Fame defensive end
Carl Eller sat down
with U.S. Magistrate Judge
Arthur Boylan in a session that
lasted well into the afternoon.
All declined comment on a day
the NFL released its preseason
schedule with the opener an
Aug. 7 showcase in Canton,
Ohio, between Chicago and
St. Louis.
Whether the games are
held remains an open ques-
tion. The NFL’s attorneys are
scheduled to meet with Boylan
today before mediation begins
on Thursday.
U.S. District Judge Susan
Richard Nelson ordered the
mediation on Monday with
the lockout at one month and
counting. Nelson is still consid-
ering a request from the play-
ers to lift the lockout imposed
by owners after the players
dissolved their union, clearing
the way for the court fight.
The meetings will help get
Boylan caught up with the
arguments on both sides, set-
ting the table for the first face-
to-face negotiations between
the players and the league
since talks broke off March
11 in Washington and the col-
lective bargaining agreement
expired.
The lockout has been in
place ever since.
The NFL Players
Association dissolved that day,
saying it no longer would rep-
resent players in bargaining
under labor law. That allowed
a group of players — including
MVP quarterbacks Tom Brady
and Peyton Manning — to file
a class-action antitrust suit
against the league in federal
court here.

AL Capsules
ANAHEIM, Calif. — Dan Haren
pitched a one-hitter, allowing only
Shin-Soo Choo’s clean single in the
fourth inning, and the Los Angeles
Angels beat Cleveland 2-0 on Tuesday
night to snap the Indians’ eight-game
winning streak.
Haren (3-0) struck out eight and
walked two in his third major league
shutout. Choo’s single to center field
came with one out in the fourth.
Peter Bourjos and Mark Trumbo
homered for the Angels off Fausto
Carmona (0-2). Los Angeles won with
just four hits, thanks to Haren.
Haren threw 125 pitches in his 12th

for second before Haren went into his
motion.
Haren’s third start of the season
was pushed back a day after he threw
13 pitches in a perfect 14th inning on
Saturday night against Toronto and got
credit for the Angels’ 6-5 victory. That
relief appearance ended his string of
203 consecutive starts.
Rays 3, Red Sox 2
BOSTON — David Price out-
pitched Jon Lester and Tampa Bay
broke a tie with Boston for the worst
record in the American League. The
Rays and Red Sox began the game
even at 2-8.
Price (1-2) allowed five hits in 7
2-3 innings. He left with runners at first
and second, and reliever Joel Peralta
ended the eighth by getting Jed Lowrie
to fly out.
Lester (0-1) pitched well for his
second straight outing.

Leis holds Grove batters
to one hit in 11-1 win

MILLER CITY — Miller
City’s Jessica Leis had a strong
showing in the circle Tuesday
afternoon for the Wildcats.
Leis limited Columbus
Grove to one hit as the Wildcats
defeated Columbus Grove 11-1
in a six inning Putnam County
League contest. The Wildcats
are 3-0 in the league and 6-1
overall, while Grove is 5-4
overall and 1-1 in the league.
Leis (4-0) was dominate for
the Wildcats in the circle as
she allowed one run, unearned,
on one hit while striking out
10 and issuing two walks. The
Bulldogs lone hit was a dou-
ble by Deanna Kleman. Grove
scored their lone run in the
second inning.
The run gave the Bulldogs
a 1-0 lead before Miller City
came back in the bottom of
the inning to score twice. The
Wildcats broke the game open
in the third with five runs and
finished the contest with a four
run sixth inning.
Taylor Niese had two sin-
gles and three RBI to pace
the Wildcat offense, while
Jennifer Leis had two doubles
and two RBI. Toni Steffan had
two singles and a double and
The owners then locked
out the players, creating the
NFL’s first work stoppage
A group of retired players,
including Eller, filed their own
lawsuit; the cases have
been consolidated.
Nelson ordered
both sides to keep the
mediation confiden-
tial. The players got
their wish, with the
talks held under court
supervision and not in
the collective bargaining set-
ting.
NFLPA spokesman George
Atallah declined comment
as did NFL spokesman Greg
Aiello. Neither party would
divulge who will be attending
the sessions.
At a hearing last week about
the injunction request, Nelson
urged the sides to get “back to
the table” and said negotiations
should take place at “not the
players’ table, not the league’s
table, but a neutral table, if you
will.”
The next day, the players
and owners both expressed a
willingness to talk, though they
disagreed on where and how
they wanted to do it. The play-
ers said they were willing to
engage in mediation overseen
by Nelson. The NFL said it
wanted to resume talks with
Cohen in Washington.
Nelson ruled at the hearing
she would take “a couple of
weeks” to rule on the injunc-
tion. On Monday, she noted
that her order to resume media-
tion “will not have the effect of
a stay on this litigation,” and
that she would rule “in due
course.”
Nelson’s order called for
legal counsel for the parties
“as well as a party represen-
tative having full authority”
to attend. She also said that
participation in the mediation
“and any communications con-
veyed between the parties in
this process, shall not be admit-
ted or used against any party in
any other proceeding or forum,
for any purpose.”
That would appear to address

Mariners 3, Blue Jays 2
SEATTLE — Rookie Michael
Pineda dazzled in the first home start
of his career, taking a shutout into the
eighth inning for his first major league
victory, helping Seattle beat Toronto.
The 22-year-old Pineda, making
just his second start, left the Blue Jays
guessing all night. He was clocked
as high as 99 mph on the stadium
radar gun, but also worked in off-
speed pitches, including a biting slider
that twisted Travis Snider for his sixth
strikeout to end the seventh.
Pineda (1-1) went 7 1-3 innings,
giving up just five hits, one earned run
and striking out seven.
Brandon League pitched the ninth
for his second save.
Ryan Langerhans hit a two-run
homer in the third.

Chief Super Market wins Skilled Turkish immigrants leaving Germany By KIRSTEN

Grocer Pinnacle Award

On April 2, the Ohio
Grocers Association pre-
sented its Pinnacle Award to
Chief Super Market, a multi-
store retailer in Northwest
Ohio.
The Pinnacle Award,
based on operational excel-
lence and significant contri-
bution to Ohio’s food indus-
try, is given annually to both
a single-store retailer and
multi-store retailer.
In 1951, brothers Ted
and Karl Hench, owners of
Hench’s Meat Market, joined
forces with John Nolan,
Jr., proprietor of Nolan’s
Grocery, to open a grocery
store in Defiance. The first
Chief Super Market opened
on a March 4, 1951, and
within 4 1/2 hours, 8,200
people had walked through
the store.
Sisters Bridal Boutique named in
The Knot Best of Weddings 2011
Sisters Bridal Boutique in
The store was named
Chief because the men want-
ed their new supermarket
to be a community leader:
standing for honesty, integ-
rity and fairness. Shopping
at Chief meant a modern
store with the highest qual-
ity meat and produce, and
it meant you would be well
cared for. The Chief way
of doing business continues
today.
Chief Super Market
remains family-owned by
founder Ted Hench’s son,
Eric Hench. Now with
12 locations and nearly
1,000 employees through-
out Northwest and West
Central Ohio, Chief is a
solid business working
hard for the communities
it serves.

BERLIN — Ali-Duran
Duvarci’s parents brought him to
Germany from Turkey as a baby
— and he went on to win German
citizenship, study business tech-
nology and work for a variety of
companies.
Then he hit a glass ceiling.
“I sent out several applications
for higher paying jobs that would
have matched my qualification
perfectly,” said Duvarci, 40, who is
married and has two children. “But
I only got back letters of refusal
— I think employers often throw
away my applications the moment
they read that Turkish name.”
So Duvarci is doing what
thousands of other highly skilled
workers of Turkish origin have
been doing even as Germany
faces a severe shortage of skilled
labor and a shrinking population:
returning to the ancestral home-
land.
Turks came in the millions
to Germany in the 1960s —
unskilled laborers who were part
of a so-called “guest worker”
program aimed at rebuilding the
country from the ruins of post-
war Germany. Their children
were born here, grew up here, and
were educated here. Many have
droves, saying they are still treat-
ed as outsiders in Germany and
can’t land the high-paying jobs
that match their skills and train-
ing. Other ethnic groups express
similar frustrations, but Turks are
by far the biggest group.
“They no longer want to put
up with daily racism, job dis-
crimination and the fact that most
German employers judge their
bicultural background as a liabil-
ity, not as an asset,” said Ediz
Bokli, who runs a job-placement
agency in the northern German
city of Osnabrueck that special-
izes in helping German profes-
sionals of Turkish descent.
Some say Germany can ill
afford such an exodus of skilled
labor.
The head of the German
Chamber of Industry and
Commerce, DIHK, has repeatedly
warned that Germany needs to
change the way it integrates its
immigrants, if it doesn’t want to
end up with a labor shortage of
five million within the next 15
years — which would also mean
a shortfall of millions of people
paying taxes or investing in the
country’s pension funds.
“We now have a lack of
400,000 engineers, master crafts-
men and skilled workers,” Hans
Heinrich Driftmann of the DIHK
said. “This way we’re already los-
age will only get worse.”
The government recently
announced plans to make it easier
for up to 300,000 immigrants to
use their skills in Germany by
pushing through legislation to
speed up recognition of their for-
eign qualifications. But it has not
come up with any initiatives to
help qualified second- or third-
generation immigrants who were
raised here.
Bokli, the 37-year-old son of
Turkish immigrants, said he is
getting several phone calls a day
from young, frustrated university
graduates of Turkish ancestry
who want to move to Turkey
because they hope to find better
jobs there.
“The numbers of German-
Turkish engineers, doctors or
businessmen who want to leave
this country are constantly going
up,” Bokli said.
Bokli’s agency was so over-
whelmed with requests for jobs
in Turkey that half a year ago
he launched Turkvita, an Internet
platform for professionals search-
ing for jobs there. Some 900 appli-
cants have registered so far.
More than one-third of
Germany’s ethnic Turkish profes-
sionals and university students,
many German citizens, are think-
ing of returning to their parents’
homeland, according to a 2010

Not every new show a ratings winner
NEW YORK (AP) — What
do ABC’s “Off the Map,”
NBC’s “America’s Next Great
Restaurant” and CBS’ “Chaos”
have in common?
It won’t be longevity, based
on last week’s Nielsen Co. rat-
ings. Every television season
has more failures than suc-
cesses, and these new shows
appear to be misses.
The medical drama “Off the
Map” had 3.8 million view-
ers last Wednesday, a little
more than a third of the audi-
ence for another new show, the
CBS spinoff “Criminal Minds:
Suspect Behavior” in the same
10 p.m. ET time slot. That time
is becoming increasingly diffi-
cult for the networks to program,
with only CBS’ “The Mentalist”
on Thursday finishing among
Nielsen’s top 10 shows.
“America’s Next Great
Restaurant,” an attempt at cre-
ating a new reality franchise,
Michael Douglas’ ex re- Huffington Post, AOL
has flopped for NBC. The new
CBS drama “Chaos” had 5.7
million viewers last week, con-
sidered a weak showing for
that network.
Competition dominated
prime-time network TV, with
the top shows being “American
Idol,” “Dancing With the
Stars” and CBS’ airing of
Connecticut’s victory over
Butler in the NCAA men’s
basketball championship.
The premiere of Fox’s
“Breaking In” was the most-
watched new Fox sitcom in
five years, although it kept less
than half the audience from its
“Idol” lead-in.
NBC’s “Nightly News”
topped the evening newscasts
with an average of 8.4 mil-
lion viewers (5.5, 11). ABC’s
“World News” was second
with 7.8 million (5.3, 11) and
the “CBS Evening News” had
5.4 million viewers (3.6, 7).
A ratings point represents
1,159,000 households, or 1
percent of the nation’s estimat-
ed 115.9 million TV homes.
The share is the percentage of
in-use televisions tuned to a
given show.

vives bid for movie cash face lawsuit from blogger
NEW YORK (AP) — The clash between Michael
Douglas and his ex-wife over his “Wall Street:
Money Never Sleeps” earnings is back for another,
nastier run in a New York court.
Lawyers for both sides traded barbs Tuesday
over Diandra Douglas’ continuing efforts to get half
the Academy Award-winning actor’s take from the
2010 movie.
A New York judge threw out her lawsuit in
November, saying the dispute belonged in California,
where the couple divorced in 2000 after 23 years
together. Her lawyers asked the judge Tuesday to
reconsider.
With Diandra Douglas looking on, the actor’s
lawyer noted his recent fight with throat cancer and
said his ex “should be ashamed of herself” for seek-
ing more money when she’s gotten more than $51
million from him in the divorce and her stake in some
earnings afterward. Her lawyers, meanwhile, men-
tioned his recent purchase of a $5 million-plus home
near New York and his children’s private schools.
Leaving court, Diandra Douglas lamented the
“mudslinging” she felt was directed at her.
“I’ve always behaved as a lady, and I always
intend to do so in the future,” she said. “I think the
facts speak for themselves.”

Pacemaker, don’t mess around with me

They replaced my
pacemaker last week, which
is harder than changing the
battery on your iPod -- but
not by much. It’s also about
200 times more expensive,
and itches for a week or two.
This is my third pacemaker in
15 years, because the batteries
keep wearing out.
They put it under your skin
in front of your left shoulder
blade. I don’t smoke, but it
always feels like I have a pack
of cigarettes in my pocket.
The batteries only last five to
seven years because, well, not
to put too fine a point on it, the
patients are supposed to die.
The problem with these
implanted pacemaker/
defibrillators is that they work
too well. They keep a lot of
people alive for so long that
the batteries go kaput. I guess
no one thought that was going
to be a problem in the early
days. Why put in a 10-year
battery in a five-year patient?
By not croaking as scheduled,
we have messed up the health-
care equation.
Not that I’m worried
about dying. Not because I’m
brave or fearless or think I’m
assured a place in heaven --
it’s just that I don’t think that
dying is the worst thing that
can happen to you. Having to
watch “Jersey Shore” is the
worst thing that can happen
to you. Living with one of
those people on “American
wake up and there’s a TV
on somewhere, trust me, in
heaven you ain’t.
The most painful part about
getting the new “generator”
was not the tiny incision in my
chest, but the IVs in the back
of my hands. I wonder who
thought of that? It is wicked
painful. Maybe next time they
could just waterboard me with
the medicine I’m supposed
to take, it would surely be a
relative breeze. Maybe they
want to make it hurt a little so
you don’t run to the hospital
for every little minor injury.
Or maybe people think that if
a stay in the hospital doesn’t
hurt, the doctors aren’t doing
anything.
I was awake during the
whole procedure. They gave
me a relaxant. I was so relaxed
I forgot to ask why they put
a bag over my head. I never
thought I was that ugly before,
but now I have to wonder.
Things went fine, I felt no
pain other than the IVs, but
they made me hang around in
bed for six hours just to make
sure. It is a long six hours.
Everything in a hospital
room beeps, chirps, sighs or
whistles. It’s like trying to
doze inside a teakettle.
My arm is stiff, I’m bored,
I’m hungry and I’m naked. I
feel like I’m pledging for the
Deltas in “Animal House.”
Finally, they give me the
OK to leave. I get dressed,

Egypt’s ousted president detained for investigation

By SARAH EL DEEB
The Associated Press
CAIRO — Egypt’s ousted President Hosni
Mubarak was put under detention in his
hospital room today for investigation on
accusations of corruption, abuse of power and
killings of protesters in a dramatic step today
that brought celebrations from the movement
that drove him from office.
Mubarak’s two sons, Gamal and Alaa,
were also detained for questioning and taken
to Cairo’s Torah prison where a string of for-
mer top regime figures — including the for-
mer prime minister, head of the ruling party
and Mubarak’s chief of staff — are already
languishing, facing similar investigations on
corruption.
The move reflected the enormous pressure
from the public on the ruling military, which
was handed power when Mubarak stepped
down on Feb. 11. On Friday tens of thousands
protested in Cairo’s central Tahrir Square
demanding Mubarak and his family be put
on trial, and many in the crowds accused the
military of protecting the former president.
The detention came hours after the 82-year-
old Mubarak was hospitalized Tuesday eve-
ning with heart problems in Sharm el-Sheikh,
the Red Sea resort where he and his family
have been living since his fall from power.
Early today, the public prosecutor
announced Mubarak was ordered put under
detention for 15 days for investigation. He
was to be flown later in the day to a mili-
tary hospital outside Cairo, where he would
remain in detention, a security official in
Sharm el-Sheikh said, speaking on condition
of anonymity because he was not authorized
to talk to the press.
Protesters had pushed hard for Mubarak’s
prosecution, demanding what they called a
clear signal that the corruption that pervaded
his nearly 30-year rule would be definitively
broken. Public outrage was widespread over
allegations that large fortunes were skimmed
off by top regime officials through shady
deals over the years.
Beyond the anger has been the fear that
Mubarak cronies are maneuvering to regain
power as the country tries to work out demo-
cratic rule — and that the ruling military was
not taking action to prevent them, or was
even abetting them.
“I was so happy in the morning when I
heard the news,” said Ahmed Maher, co-
founder of the April 6 group, one of the
movements that led the unprecedented 18-day
protest movement against Mubarak.
“All people are very happy because this
step reassured them after a period of doubts
and stagnation,” referring to doubts over the
military’s intentions, he told The Associated
Press. Worries over the military were intensi-
fied by a fierce pre-dawn raid on protesters
in Tahrir on Saturday that killed at least one
person.
Still, he said, Egypt faces a long road
to ensure the transition period leads to real
democracy. “Trying Mubarak and his regime
is very important but what is super important
is the political future of Egypt and what kind
of political system we want to have,” he
said.
The prosecutor’s announcement gave a
momentary easing of tensions between the
military and protesters. Following the pros-
ecutor’s announcement, the coalition of youth
groups that have organized the protests said it
is canceling a planned new mass demonstra-
tion in Tahrir Square on Friday to demand
Mubarak’s prosecution.
But the coalition underlined that there are
still demands left unfulfilled — including the
dissolving of the former ruling party and the
sacking of Mubarak-appointed governors as
well as university deans and local city coun-
cils, both seen as levers of his regime.
Activist Amr Bassiouny said in a Tweet
that the detention was not the protesters’
primary goal but “free speech, free assembly,
free press — no torture, real democracy, end
of lies.”

Pew Study: Nation’s prison What’s in a name? It may link Calif, NY cold cases
SAN RAFAEL, Calif. (AP) — Roxene enforcement officials said at a news confer-

recidivism rates remain high

ATLANTA (AP) — More
than 40 percent of ex-cons
commit crimes within three
years of their release and wind
up back behind bars, despite
billions in taxpayer dollars
spent on prison systems that
are supposed to help reha-
bilitate them, according to a
study released today.
The study by the Pew
Center on the States con-
cluded there was only mar-
ginal improvement in the
nation’s recidivism rate even
as spending on corrections
departments has increased
to about $52 billion annu-
ally from around $30 billion
a decade ago.
About 43 percent of prison-
ers who were let out in 2004
were sent back to prison by
2007, either for a new crime
or violating the conditions of
their release, the study found.
That number was down from
45 percent during a similar
period beginning in 1999.
“We know so much more
today than we did 30 years
ago when prisons became
the weapon of choice in the
fight against crime,” he said.
“There are new technolo-
gies and new strategies that
research has shown can make
a significant dent in return to
prison rates. There are fewer
and fewer policymakers who
think that spending more tax-
payer money to build more
prisons is the best way to
reduce crime.”
Others were skepti-
cal of sentencing reform
efforts. The president of the
National District Attorneys
Association said legisla-
tors shouldn’t be too quick
to abandon tough-on-crime
policies in favor of alterna-
tive sentencing. Those initia-
tives only save money in the
short-term, New Hampshire
prosecutor Jim Reams said.
“The assumption is that
these are all choir boys at
releases, recidivism rates fell
in 17 states and climbed in
15 states. One state reported
no change.
Gelb cautioned that cor-
rections departments alone
aren’t to blame — prosecu-
tors, courts, probation offi-
cers and faith-based organi-
zations also should be held
accountable.
Wyoming and Oregon had
the lowest overall recidivism
rates for offenders released
in 2004, with rates hovering
below 25 percent. Minnesota
had the highest — more than
61 percent — while Alaska,
California, Illinois, Missouri
and Vermont all topped 50
percent.
The recidivism rate in
Kansas dropped by more than
22 percent between 1999 and
2004, while it jumped by
about 35 percent in South
Dakota over the same period.

vided data for 2004 could

Authorities have finally arrested the man
they believe murdered those four women
from 1977 to 1994. But the alliteration in the
victims’ names has investigators wondering
if Joseph Naso is responsible for other kill-
ings whose similarities seem too strange to be
coincidence.
New York state police are checking wheth-
er there’s more that connects the 77-year-old
Reno man to one of the region’s most baf-
fling unsolved crimes — the deaths of one
10-year-old and two 11-year-old girls who
were abducted, raped and strangled in the
Rochester area in the early 1970s.
Like the four women whose bodies were
found across Northern California, the three
girls who were victims in upstate New York’s
“Double Initial Murders” also had matching
initials for their first and last names.
In a more startling similarity, one of the
New York victims also was named Carmen
Colon.
Naso was arrested this week on suspicion
of murder in the four California cases, but
investigators’ work has just begun.
A separate task force is looking into wheth-
er any other cold cases in the U.S. can be
linked to Naso, a professional photographer
who often traveled the country for work and
may have killed in other states, Nevada law
ence Tuesday.
Authorities learned Naso once lived in the
Rochester, N.Y., area and traveled between
there and the West in the early 1970s.
But the links to the “Double Initial Murders”
so far stop there, said New York state police
Trooper Mark O’Donnell. Authorities have
found no other evidence tying him to the case,
and a DNA sample taken from one of the New
York victims did not match Naso.
And while some details of the two cases
are similar, others are not — like the fact that
the California victims were adults and the
New York victims children.
Still, New York authorities say they’re not
ready to eliminate Naso as a suspect, and they
hope area residents who might know him will
be able to help with their investigation, the
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle reported.
Naso was arrested in South Lake Tahoe
late Monday after being released from the
El Dorado County Jail, where he was serv-
ing time on an unrelated probation violation.
Authorities said he was on probation for a
2009 grocery store theft in California when
a random search of his Reno, Nev., home in
April 2010 turned up guns and ammunition.
The search also uncovered evidence that
helped link him to the California killings,
said Nevada authorities, who soon launched
a task force to look into cold cases possibly
connected to Naso.

it doesn’t work that way,”
Reams said. “We’re getting
exactly what we deserve
when we do this — we’re
getting more crime.”
The Pew report found
that of 33 states that reported
data for both 1999 and 2004
slash their recidivism rates by
10 percent, the study found.
California, the home of the
nation’s largest prison sys-
tem, could save $233 million
in one year by slashing its
recidivism rate by 10 per-
cent.
NEWBURGH, N.Y. (AP)
Border Patrol

didn’t have any more infor-
mation on it.

about 30,000 residents, sits on Federal jurors deliberated for
the western shore of the part just two hours Tuesday before

rest of them into the Hudson
River north of New York City,
firefighters said. The woman
and three young children were
killed.
The 10-year-old boy who
had been let out of the mini-
van Tuesday night ran to a
nearby fire station and alerted
firefighters, Chief Michael
Vatter said. The boy told fire-
fighters his mother had driven
off a boat ramp in Newburgh,
John Ross MD | Board Certified about 60 miles north of New
York City, and into the murky
water of the river, Vatter said.
Inside with her were the boy’s
siblings: two boys, ages 5 and
2, and an 11-month-old girl.
Firefighters and police
officers responded with boats.
Divers searched for the mini-
van for about an hour before
finding it submerged in 10
feet of water about 25 yards
offshore. They used a heavy-
duty tow truck to pull it up the
boat ramp and onto land.
Everyone inside was dead,
Vatter said.
The woman lived about six
blocks from where she and
her children perished, he said.
Their names have not been
released.
The domestic altercation
Debby occurred about 10 minutes
before the woman drove into
of the river that runs south
through New York state and
eventually splits New York
and New Jersey.
A similar incident occurred
in 2006, about 20 miles south
of Newburgh.
In 2007, Victor Han, of
Queens, was sentenced
to three years of probation
after pleading guilty to child
endangerment. Han admit-
ted he knew he was putting
his daughters at risk when
he stepped out of the family
minivan on Bear Mountain
in June 2006, leaving them
with their mother, 35-year-old
Hejin Han. She then drove the
Honda Odyssey off a 300-
foot drop, killing herself. The
mother was killed but the
children somehow survived
the plunge.
It’s also reminiscent of
the case of a South Carolina
woman who drowned her
young sons in 1994.

life sentence for killing 3-year-

ago at a popular southeastern

Jesus Navarro testified dur-
ing the two-week trial that he
wasn’t even in the marijuana-
filled Hummer that struck and
killed Border Patrol Agent
Luis Aguilar at the Imperial
Sand Dunes, where drug
smugglers have long mixed
in with recreational dune
riders. Navarro also said he
was forced to confess to the
crime under interrogation by
Mexican officials.
But jurors rejected that tes-
timony, as well as defense
arguments that questioned the
credibility of drug smugglers’
testimony and the reliability
of witnesses who identified
Navarro as the driver of the
vehicle in the January 2008
incident.
Authorities said the Border
Patrol was chasing Navarro’s
Hummer and the 32-year-old
Aguilar was killed as he lay
down a spike strip to stop the
vehicle. Prosecutors argued
that Navarro intentionally
struck Aguilar as he was flee-
ing back to Mexico.
