Jennings’ state cash not being slashed

FORT JENNINGS —
Despite the uneasy fiscal
climate state educators are
doing business under, the
cloud of unknowing isn’t
as dark in this village.
However, if you don’t like
the “weather” in Ohio, just
wait a few minutes.
Final data on state aid
to the district will not be
known until early summer
but early numbers indicate
the Musketeers will break
even.
During the board of edu-
cation’s Wednesday’s meet-
ing, Superintendent Nick
Langhals explained the
information rolling down
from Columbus so far.
“State aid from 2011
get the stimulus money
aware of was the tangible
personal property tax. We
knew they were phasing it
out but they removed it sud-
denly and we didn’t know

Thursday, april 21, 2011
that. That was $51,000. So,
we lost the $131,000 but had
planned on it; then with the
state aid increase but the lost
property tax, we’re looking
at a $10,000 gain on the
five-year forecast that we
didn’t know about before it
was created,” he said.
But wait — there’s more:
“Then, from 2012 to
2013, we lose $10,000 in
state aid, so we break even
overall. That’s not bad news
but until they come out with
simulations in June, we
don’t know what might be
hidden in the budget that we
don’t see at this point in the
shell game; they give you
funds here but take funds
over there,” Langhals said.
In routine business, the
board accepted the resig-
nation of Athletic Director
Tom Sakemiller, who had
retired and was re-hired. He
plans to spend more time
with his grandchildren. The
board thanked him for his
service.
In preparation for the
upcoming academic year,

Police chief
clarifies child’s
ID kit usage
BY MIKE FORD
mford@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS — For many
years, law enforcement has
collected vital information
for parents that can be used
if a child should ever be
abducted. Thanks to scien-
tific advances, the police
department switched several
years ago from fingerprinting
kindergartners to collecting
DNA samples. Chief Kyle
Fittro wants parents to know
the evidence is not kept on
file for use if “Johnny” ever
breaks into the liquor store
when he gets older.
“Some may think we keep
the information and catalog
it but we don’t keep it at all.
I want parents to know ‘Big
Brother’ is not involved. We
go to the school, swab the
kids’ mouths and put the
swabs in a little box after the
samples dry. The kids take it
home and after it leaves our
hands at the school, it’s in
the parents’ possession and
will never be used unless
the parents want it to be. We
hope to never need them but
if we do, I’d hate for a par-
ent to not have their child’s
DNA sample,” he said.
The department is in the
final stages of completing
its annual Child ID program.
All affected students from
St. John’s and Jefferson have
been through the program
and Landeck students will
go through it next week.
“I noticed that a num-
ber of parents did not sign
off, thereby preventing their
child from going through the
program. This is a valuable
and free program. I would
like to clarify exactly how
Ottoville in top 5%
in OEM ranking
BY NANCY SPENCER
nspencer@delphosherald.com
OTTOVILLE — Ohio
Education Matters announced
Tuesday Ottoville Local
Schools is one of the most
efficient schools in the state
in building maintenance and
operation costs.
Ohio Education
Matters is a subsidiary
of KnowledgeWorks of
Cincinnati. It released its
nine-month study of K-12
education called Ohio Smart
Schools this week. That
report showed 135 school dis-
tricts across Ohio that seem to
get more for their money in
central-office administration,
school-level administration,
food service, student trans-
portation and building main-
tenance and operations than
other similar districts.
Superintendent Scott
Mangas said the designation
means other schools will look
to Ottoville for ways to trim
their maintenance and opera-
tions budgets.
“We do have an advan-
tage with the geothermal sys-
tem,” Mangas said. “Other
than that, we still have the
regular day-to-day tasks with
an exceptional maintenance
crew.”
Mangas said OEM was
looking at using its rankings
as leverage with the state to
hold the top schools harmless
for budget cuts.
“How that will turn out, I
don’t know but we’ll take all
the help we can get,” Mangas
said.
Three other Putnam
County schools were present-
ed similar awards, including
Ottawa-Glandorf for food-
service, school administra-
tion and transportation costs;
Kalida for food service; and
Columbus Grove for school
administration and transpor-
Delphos, Ohio
the program works so that
parents will be more at ease
allowing their child to par-
ticipate,” Fittro said. “The
police department does not
keep any DNA specimens,
nor does the department
track, record or computerize
the specimen in any way.
The entire specimen is sent
home to the parents as a
public service.”
The chief emphasizes
that parents own the sample,
which will be valuable if
ever needed — if it is prop-
erly stored.
“This DNA specimen is
a pure, clean sample of the
child’s DNA. It should be
stored in a cool, dry location
away from direct sunlight.
The child’s DNA can then
be utilized by the parents if
the need ever arises. Again,
we hope we never have to
utilize any of the collected
DNA, however, it can be an
invaluable tool in a number
of scenarios,” he said.
The department would
like to have every appropri-
ate family’s participation but
it’s up to parents.
“This year we actually
did the kindergartners and
the first-graders. Due to a
lack of ID kits available last
year, we missed a year. Once
Landeck is complete, we
will be back in the standard
routine. Our goal is to have
every Delphos kindergartner
participate in the process,
every year. If any parents
have questions, they can call
me,” Fittro concluded.
Parents and guardians can
get an ID kit at the police
department from 8 a.m. to
4 p.m. Monday through
Friday.
tation.
A one-year limited con-
tract was granted to Alicia
Haselman as grades 4-9
English/history teacher. She
earned her master’s degree
from Defiance College and
will replace three retiring
teachers.
After comparing figures,
Ottoville will discontinue
its satellite agreement with
Vantage Career Center at
the end of this school year.
Mangas said the district was
losing money on the agree-
ment and recommended the
board grant Pamela Hickey
a continuing contract for the
position of high school con-
sumer science teacher.
“If we put her back on our
payroll, we won’t be coming
out on the short end of the
deal,” Mangas said.
The board accepted the res-
ignation of Tom Von Sossan
as varsity boys basketball
coach. Von Sossan has served
the Ottoville basketball pro-
gram for the past 14 years.
The board then hired Todd
Turnwald as varsity boys
basketball coach. Turnwald
coached at Columbus Grove
for five years with a record
of 65-43.

Jesse Owens quality in the United States
improving or getting worse?
COLUMBUS (AP) —
Ohio State University is cel-
ebrating the 75th anniversary
of track star Jesse Owens’
stunning performance at the
1936 Olympics in Berlin.
In a stadium built by Adolf
Hitler, Owens stole the show
and made a mockery of Nazi
claims of Aryan supremacy.
He became the first American
track athlete to win four gold
medals at one Olympics.
At Ohio State, Owens was
nicknamed “The Buckeye
Bullet.” The university says
he set three world records and
tied a fourth all within 45
minutes at the 1935 Big Ten
championships.
Members of the Owens
family are expected to attend a
statue unveiling this afternoon
at Ohio State’s track stadium
named for Owens. Then, this
eventing Bill Cosby will host
a dinner to benefit the Ruth
and Jesse Owens scholarship
program.

a carjacking of an SUV in
a suburban shopping center
parking lot.
Hamilton County sher-
iff’s deputies say the vehicle
owner reported that the boy
opened the SUV’s door and
said he wanted it Wednesday
evening. Police say the driv-

boy ran into the Kenwood
Towne Centre just northeast
of Cincinnati.
A deputy and mall secu-
rity officers surrounded the
boy and took him into cus-
tody. The Cincinnati Enquirer
reports they say he was armed
with a butcher knife. No one
was injured.
Police say the boy was
taken to the juvenile detention
center on charges of aggra-
vated robbery and obstructing

not intervening
in judge race
CINCINNATI (AP) —
The U.S. Supreme Court will
not immediately intervene in
a disputed election for a juve-
nile court judgeship in Ohio.
The court on Wednesday
denied a request by the
Hamilton County Board of
Elections in Cincinnati and
the Republican candidate to
stop proceedings in a federal
court in Cincinnati pending a
possible appeal.
Those proceedings could
result in counting ballots that
could swing the November
election to Democrat Tracie
Hunter.
Republican John Williams
now leads Hunter by 23 votes
out of 230,000 votes cast.
An appeals court upheld a
lower court ruling that provi-
sional ballots improperly cast
because of poll worker errors
should be counted. It sent the
case back for argument on
whether there was enough evi-
dence of poll worker error to
count some disputed ballots.
RECYCLE
IT!
Is it cleaner in some parts of
the country than in others?
— K. Gould, Sherman
Oaks, CA
Air quality across the
United States has improved
dramatically since 1970 when
Congress passed the Clean
Air Act in response to grow-
ing pollution problems and
fouled air from coast to coast.
According to data from the
U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA), levels of all
major air pollution contami-
nants (ozone, nitrogen oxides,
carbon monoxide, And that’s
good news for everyone.
A 2009 study published in
the New England Journal of
Medicine found that efforts
to reduce fine particle pollu-
tion from automobiles, diesel
engines, steel mills and coal-
fired power plants have added
between four and eight months
to the average American’s life
expectancy in recent years.
Overall, Americans are living
some two and three-quarter
years longer than during the
1980s. Changes in smoking
habits and improved socioeco-
nomic conditions are the big-
gest reasons why, but cleaner
air is also a big factor. “It’s
stunning that the air pollution
effect seems to be as robust
as it is,” Arden Pope, the
Brigham Young University
epidemiologist who led the
study, told reporters.
Pope and his team analyzed
life expectancy, economic,
demographic and pollution
data from 51 metropolitan
areas, and found that when
fine-particle air pollution
dropped by 10 micrograms per
cubic meter, life expectancy
rose by 31 weeks—such as in
Akron, Ohio and Philadelphia.
Where fine particle counts
dropped even more—by 13
to 14 micrograms, such as
in New York City, Buffalo
and Pittsburgh—people lived
some 43 weeks longer on
average.
But according to the
American Lung Association
(ALA), even though air quality
around the country is improv-
ing overall, some 175 million
Americans—58 percent of the
population—still live in plac-
es where pollution levels can
cause breathing difficulties or
worse. The group’s “State of
the Air: 2010” report looks at
levels of ozone and particle
pollution found in monitoring
sites across the United States
in 2006, 2007, and 2008, and
compares them to previous
periods.
The biggest improvement
was found in year-round
(annual) particulate levels,
which the ALA attributes
to recent efforts to clean up
major industrial air pollu-
tion sources. “However, the
continuing problem demon-
strates that more remains to
be done, especially in clean-
ing up coal-fired power plants
and existing diesel engines.”
the group reports. ALA also
found, by overlaying census
data with pollution maps, that
Americans with the lowest
incomes face higher risks
of harm from air pollution,
underscoring what environ-
mental justice advocates have
been saying for years.

selves from still problematic
air pollution, ALA recom-

Dear EarthTalk: My
daughter loves those press-
on tattoos, and they’re fre-
quently given out at birthday
parties and other events. But
I’ve noticed the labels say
they’re only for ages three
and up. Are they safe? If
not, are there alternatives?
— Debra Jones, Lansing,
MI
For the most part, so-called
temporary tattoos are safe for
kids and grown-ups alike, even
if they do contain a long list
of scary sounding ingredients
including resins, polymers,
varnishes and dyes. But if
they are sold legitimately in
the U.S., their ingredients have
been approved by the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration
(FSA) as cosmetics, meaning
the agency has found them to
be safe for “direct dermal con-
tact.” The FDA has received
reports of minor skin irritation
including redness and swell-
ing, but such cases have been
deemed “child specific” and
were not widespread enough
to warrant general warnings to
the public.
Those who are concerned
anyway but still want a tem-
porary tattoo might consider
an airbrush tattoo—they are
sprayed on over a stencil using
FDA-approved cosmetic inks.
The rub on these in the past
was that they didn’t last very
long, but new varieties are
reported to last two weeks,
and can be easily removed
prior to that with isopropyl
alcohol, just like their “press-
on” cousins.

Obama mixing politics,
policy on West Coast
By JULIE PACE
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — via Facebook and read to him
Stepping away from
Washington’s contentious fis-
cal debates, President Barack
Obama is making a West
Coast trip aimed at building
support for his deficit-reduc-
tion plans and raising money
for his re-election campaign.
In town hall meetings in
California and Nevada, includ-
ing one hosted Wednesday by
Facebook, Obama will pitch
his prescription for reducing
the deficit by $4 trillion over
12 years through a combina-
tion of spending cuts and tax
increases for the rich. The
president’s three-day trip
is his most extensive travel
since he announced his 2012
bid earlier this month.
That campaign could set
new fundraising records as
Obama courts high-dollar
donors, as well as young
people, many of whom were
among the small donors who
buoyed his 2008 campaign.

paign’s playbook, Obama
will seek to connect with
those younger voters through
social networking sites like
Facebook. The president’s

Running for re-election,
President Barack Obama is
employing powers not avail-

lengers. Just this week he’s
holding town halls in three
states, arriving in grand style
on Air Force One and grant-
ing coveted interviews to
local TV news anchors.
He doesn’t have the field
entirely to himself and his
poll numbers are sagging a bit
as he feuds with Republicans
over spending and deficit cut-
ting. With Congress in recess,
dozens of GOP lawmakers
are holding their own events
to tell constituents why they
believe they have a better
plan for cutting spending and
revamping social programs.
Obama’s busy week
leaves no doubt that his
2012 campaign is underway.
The three-day, four-stop trip
to California and Nevada,
starting Wednesday, is his
most extensive travel since
announcing his re-election
plans April 4.
It comes just days after
House Republicans passed
a bill to cut $5.8 trillion

Obama has outlined a sharply
FAA fires two controllers, issues new flight rules
By JOAN LOWY
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — traffic facility in Warrenton,
The Federal Aviation
Administration took new steps
Wednesday to fix problems in
the nation’s air traffic control
system, firing two control-
lers for sleeping on the job
and ordering a higher level
of supervision over aircraft
carrying the first lady or vice
president.
The new air traffic rules and
the firings come as the FAA
struggles to reassure the public
that air travel is safe. The agen-
cy has been shaken by a series
of embarrassing incidents,
including five cases of control-
lers falling asleep on the job,
a controller caught watching
a DVD movie at his post and
an aborted landing this week
of a plane carrying Michelle
Obama and Vice President Joe
Biden’s wife, Jill.
The controllers fired
Wednesday were assigned to
radar facilities in Miami and
Knoxville, Tenn. They had
been found sleeping during
overnight shifts, according to
the FAA, which had disclosed
the incidents previously.
Under the new air traffic
rules, flights carrying Mrs.
Obama or the vice president
will be handled by an air traffic
supervisor rather than a control-
conducts the town hall there.
Obama was expected to
answer questions submitted
by a moderator, as well as
some questions from a small
in-person audience. Video of
the event was to be streamed
on the White House Facebook
page.
Weeks of heated debate in
Washington over long- and
short-term spending has left
Obama with some of the low-
est approval ratings of his pres-
idency. The numbers are even
lower for the Republican-led
House and Obama’s potential
Republican challengers.
Voters say they want
Washington to tackle deep def-
icit reductions, and both parties
are responding — Obama with
his plan to cut $4 trillion, and
House Republicans with a plan
passed last week that seeks to
cut $5.8 trillion in spending over
10 years. The challenge for the
president and his Republican
rivals is to also connect their
efforts with the public’s press-
ing concerns over persistently
high unemployment and rising
gasoline prices.
Obama’s message is that
any gains in furthering the
economic recovery now could
be lost unless lawmakers also
tackle the nation’s mounting
deficits and debt.
“Companies might be less
likely to set up shop here in
the United States of America,”
Obama said during a town
different plan for spending
and tax priorities.
Voters seem edgy and
wary of both sides. At the
ing for deep deficit reductions
that could require significant
changes to Medicare and other
major programs. Both parties
are responding.
Obama’s approval rat-
ings are among the lowest
of his presidency. Ratings for
Congress, and for his poten-
tial Republican challengers,
appear even lower.
The parties are targeting
independent voters, and a
lot is at stake. If those vot-
ers decide Obama’s plan is
too tepid to tame the soaring
national debt, they may flock
to GOP candidates, as they
did in 2010, and make him a
one-term president.
But if they buy Obama’s
argument that Republicans
would hurt elderly and low-
income people by weaken-
ing Medicare and Medicaid
while also cutting taxes for
the wealthy, then indepen-
dent voters may return to the
Democrats they backed in
2006 and 2008.
In at least one area — the
ability to reach voters through
an array of methods and out-
lets — the president holds a
clear advantage.
“No member of Congress,

Also on Wednesday, the
National Transportation
Safety Board said it has
opened an investigation into
the aborted landing of Mrs.
Obama’s plane.
The FAA moved swiftly in
the case of the Miami control-
ler, whom the agency said was
found sleeping at about 5 a.m.
Saturday at a regional radar
facility that handles high-alti-
tude air traffic for portions of
Florida, the Atlantic Ocean and
Caribbean Sea. A preliminary
review of air traffic tapes indi-
cated he did not miss any calls
from aircraft and there was no
impact on flight operations.

radar facility at the McGhee

hall in Northern Virginia on
Tuesday. “It could end up cost-
ing you more to take out a
loan for a home or for a car
because if people keep having
to finance America’s debt, at a
certain point they’re going to
start charging higher interest
rates.”
Obama is using all of the
resources at his disposal to
make that case, from the town
halls he’ll hold this week to
the interviews he’s conducted
with local television stations
in politically important states.
While GOP lawmakers are
making use of a break on
Capitol Hill to hold events
with constituents to pitch their
parties’ fiscal plans, the presi-
dency carries with it clear
advantages.
“No member of Congress,
no speaker of the House, no
senator can command the
public’s attention the way a
sitting president can,” said
Joel Johnson, a lobbyist and
former top aide to President
Bill Clinton.
In this age of Twitter,
YouTube and dwindling
viewership of broadcast eve-
ning news, a president must
use every resource available,
White House press secretary
Jay Carney said.
“It’s a mix of traditional
media, new media, nation-
al media, regional media,”
Carney told reporters. “You’ve
got to reach Americans where
they are.“
no speaker of the House, no
senator can command the
public’s attention the way a
sitting president can,” said
Joel Johnson, a lobbyist and
former top aide to President
Bill Clinton.
Obama is using two main
techniques this week: ques-
tion-and-answer sessions out-
side Washington and local
TV interviews in the White
House Map Room. As with
most first-term presidents, the
events overwhelmingly target
states that will be election
battlegrounds.
On Monday, Obama sub-
mitted to four one-on-one inter-
views with TV affiliate stations,
a format that often generates
several days of near-breathless
coverage in key markets.
“For a local news station,
an interview with the presi-
dent is the big ’get,’” Johnson
said. “You hype it, you pro-
mote it, you get people to pay
attention.”
Three of the stations were
from states that Obama won in
2008 and hopes to win again:
Indiana, North Carolina and
Nevada. The fourth station
was from Dallas. Obama has
little hope of carrying Texas
next year. But it’s an impor-
tant fundraising state for both
parties, and Democrats have
long-term hopes for Texas as
its Hispanic population soars.
occurred Monday at Andrews
Air Force Base just outside
Washington. While aborted
landings are not unusual, and
the first lady apparently wasn’t
in serious danger, the episode
became another embarrass-
ment for the FAA. The inci-
dent occurred at about 5 p.m.,
when a Boeing 737 belonging
to the Air National Guard, one
of several guard planes used by
the White House, came within
three miles of a massive C-17
cargo plane as planes were
approaching Andrews to land,
according to FAA and a base
spokeswoman.
The FAA requires a mini-
mum separation of five miles
between two planes when the
plane in the lead is as large
as the 200-ton military cargo
jet, in order to avoid dan-
gerous wake turbulence that
can severely affect the trailing
aircraft.
Andrews’ civilian air traffic
controllers first ordered Mrs.
Obama’s plane to conduct a
series of turns to bring it farther
from the military jet. When
controllers realized there still
might not be enough time for
the cargo plane to clear the
runway before Mrs. Obama’s
plane landed, they directed the
pilot of Mrs. Obama’s plane
to circle the airport. This “go-
around” is considered a type of
aborted landing.

Sixth-inning rally lifts Kill signs for hoops at Morton College

Bath past Blue Jays
By JIM METCALFE

sherald.com
BATH TOWNSHIP —
On a blustery and chilly
Wednesday afternoon at Bath
High School, even with a
steady wind blowing out to
center, offense wasn’t going
to be easy when St. John’s
visited Bath.
The host Wildcats scored
three times in the bottom of
the sixth frame to rally past
the Blue Jays 5-3 in non-
league baseball action.
Trailing 3-2 entering the
fateful frame and facing Blue
Jay reliever Troy Warnecke
(1 inning, 4 hits, 2 earned
runs, 1 walk; in for Ryan
Edelbrock), Caleb Norton
doubled to center and scored
on Ryne Burden’s single to
right to tie it at 3. Jeremy
Chandler sacrificed. Cory
McNett walked and Austin
Best singled the bases loaded.
Kyle Zimmerman blooped a
hit just beyond the reach of
diving leftfielder Ryan Densel
to plate pinch-runner Kasey
Krendl and leave the bases
juiced. Johny Simindinger
squeezed perfectly, scoring
McNett for the 5-3 lead.
Brad Davis (1.2 innings
pitched in relief of Jeremy
Clapper) set down the Blue
Jays in order in the seventh to
the third. McNett got aboard
via a 2-base throwing error
and Myles Holiday bunted
him up a base. An out later,
Simindinger whacked a dou-
ble to left to score McNett.
The Jays took a 3-1 edge
in the fourth. With one gone,
Edelbrock got on via a throw-
ing miscues but was forced
at second by Reindel. Densel
walked and Curtis Geise
slapped a 2-run double to the
fence in left center.
The visitors tried to add
to their lead in the fifth. With
one gone, Leininger blooped
a hit to right but consecutive
forceouts ended that threat.
Bath got within 3-2 in
the home half. Chandler
and McNett had back-to-
back singles. An out later,
they both stole the next base.
Zimmerman bounced out to
short to plate Chandler and put
McNett at third. Simindinger
walked and burgled second.
Wise walked but Blue Jay
backstop Reindel made a nice
play to catch a foul pop-up
by Nate Heffner to leave the
bases loaded.
The Jays lost another
chance to add to their lead in
the sixth. Edelbrock got on via
a throwing error and Reindel
sacrificed; an error allowed
him to be safe. Edelbrock was
picked off base by Clapper.
Densel singled to left, bring-

SPENCERVILLE — It
isn’t close to home.
In fact, it’s well over a
state away.
That didn’t stop
Spencerville senior basket-
ball player Brittany Kill from
signing a National Letter-
of-Intent to play basketball
at Morton College, a 2-year
community college in Cicero,
Illinois, Wednesday.
“I know it’s far away and
it won’t be easy for my family
to come watch me play but I
view this as a good oppor-
tunity to spread my wings.
It’s hard on my mom right
now, knowing that I’m the
youngest in the family,” Kill,
daughter of Jeff and Penny
Kill, explained. “Their coach
(Lawrence Lanciotti), made
the decision pretty easy for
me. He told me his first goal
is to make sure his athletes are
doing well in the classroom
and advancing academically,
that basketball isn’t neces-
sarily his top priority when it
comes to his players. He was
in constant contact with me
from the first time he got in
touch with me to now. I like
that.
“I played AAU ball or
something since I was six;
that’s how I got recruited
because I had to fill a form
out for it and he contacted me.
I worked hard for this and I
deserve the chance. I’m happy
to get the opportunity.”
Morton College is a mem-
ber of the Skyway Community
College Conference, compet-
ing against seven other Illinois
community colleges.
Kill was a 3-year letter-
winner/starter for the Lady
Bearcats, leading the team in
scoring this year at 13 points
a game and earning second-
team Northwest Conference
honors. She was also a US
Sports Student Ambassador
and participated in the
Friendship Games in Austria.
“It’s only for two years; I
want to get a 2-year degree in
criminal justice and then go
on to study forensics,” Kill
said. “I already know who
my roommate will be; Joanna
(Garcia; the best girls basket-
ball player in the Northern
Lights Conference in Alaska).
I really like the community
and area. My mom wanted to

The Associated Press
GLENDALE, Ariz. — Danny
Cleary scored from a tough angle
with just over 6 minutes left and
the Detroit Red Wings swept the
Phoenix Coyotes out of the play-
offs and possibly out of the des-
ert with a 6-3 victory Wednesday
night.
The sellout crowd got to see
plenty of action, from a goal-
trading first two periods to the
deflating score from Cleary from
behind the right post that some-
how squeezed past goalie Ilya
Bryzgalov with 6:19 left.
Todd Bertuzzi sealed up the
sweep in the first-round Western
Conference series less than 2
minutes later, knocking in a shot
off the skate of Coyotes’ defen-
seman David Schlemko in what
might have been the Coyotes’
final game in the desert.
Patrick Eaves scored his sec-
ond goal on an empty net and
Tomas Holmstrom and Niklas
Kronwall also scored for Detroit.
Playing in front of potential
owner Michael Hulsizer, who talk-
ed with fans outside before the
game and sat in the stands, the
Coyotes kept up with Detroit’s
multitude of scoring lines on goals
from Taylor Pyatt, Shane Doan
and Martin Hanzal. The Coyotes
saluted the crowd at center ice
after the game as most of the fans
stuck around but now head into
the offseason not knowing if they’ll
ever play in the desert again.
Capitals 4, Rangers 3, 2OT
NEW YORK — Jason Chimera
scored 12:36 into the second over-
time and Washington completed a
3-goal comeback to push New
York to the brink of elimination in
the Eastern Conference series.
New York scored three times
in the second period to take a 3-0
lead and seemed poised to head
back to Washington all even in the
series for Game 5 on Saturday.
But the top-seeded Capitals ral-
lied to take a 3-1 lead.
Alexander Semin started
Washington’s rally and Marcus
Johansson scored twice in the
third to make it 3-3.
The Rangers built their big
lead on a goal by Artem Anisimov
and tallies just 7 seconds apart
by Marian Gaborik and Brandon
Dubinsky. Henrik Lundqvist was
the hard-luck loser after making
49 saves.

Otterbein hands Polar
Bears doubleheader loss
By Monique Bowman
WESTERVILLE — Otterbein would halve
The Ohio Northern base-
ball team suffered two
losses at the hands of Ohio
Athletic Conference oppo-
nent Otterbein University on
Wednesday, falling 11-1 and
14-16 at Fishbaugh Field in
Westerville.
ONU falls to 16-14 over-
all (3-9 OAC), while the
Cardinals are at .500 with
a 14-14 overall record (6-6
OAC).
Junior Matt Hampshire
(Lima/Elida) and freshman
Brian Thomas (Cross Plains,
Ind./South Ripley) each went
3-for-7 at the plate, while
sophomore Matt Holstein
(Indianapolis/Lawrence
Central) blasted a three-run
homer in the nightcap, his
10th of the season.
In Game 1, ONU took the
1-0 lead in the top of the
Otterbein fielding error in the
second inning. Holstein then
hit his homerun over the right
field fence for the 4-0 advan-
tage.
ONU’s lead in the bottom of
the second and would take the
lead with three runs in their
next at bat.
Northern tried to put some
offense together in the sixth
and eighth innings but would
only get one run in each of
those innings.
Junior Ryan Damman
(Fremont/Ross) counted the
loss to move to 1-2 so far this
season.
The Polar Bears look to
rebound Friday as they return
home to host Muskingum in a
1 p.m. twinbill.

Court battle looms over Gulf oil spill

By HARRY R. WEBER and
CAIN BURDEAU
Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS — While solemn com-
memorations marked the first anniversary of
the calamitous BP oil spill, legal claims filed
by the oil giant and other companies involved
in the disaster show that lengthy court battles
lay ahead.
Around the Gulf Coast Wednesday, resi-
dents said prayers on the beach and lit candles
in the heart of New Orleans, while relatives flew
over the sea where 11 rig workers died a year
ago. In New Orleans courts, BP filed lawsuits
alleging negligence by the rig owner and the
maker of the device that failed to stop the spill.
The blowout preventer maker and rig owner
filed their own claims.
BP said in its lawsuit filed in federal court in
New Orleans that Cameron International pro-
vided a blowout preventer with a faulty design,
alleging that negligence by the manufacturer
helped cause the disaster. The lawsuit seeks
damages to help BP pay for the tens of billions
of dollars in liabilities it has incurred from the
disaster.
It also was seeking $40 billion from rig
owner Transocean, accusing it of causing last
year’s deadly blowout in the Gulf of Mexico
that led to the worst offshore oil spill in U.S.
history. BP says every single safety system
and device and well control procedure on the
Deepwater Horizon rig failed.
The lawsuit against Cameron said the blow-
out preventer “was unreasonably dangerous,
and has caused and continues to cause harm,
loss, injuries, and damages.”
Houston-based Cameron noted in a state-
ment emailed to AP that Wednesday was the
deadline under the relevant statute for all parties
to file claims against each other. It said it has
filed claims of its own to protect itself.
Also Wednesday, Transocean filed court
papers demanding that judgments be made
against BP, Cameron and other companies in
its favor.
The disaster began on the night of April
20, 2010, when the Deepwater Horizon burst
into flames and killed the 11 men. The rest of
the crew evacuated, but two days later, the rig
toppled into the Gulf and sank to the sea floor.
Over the next 85 days, 206 million gallons of
oil — 19 times more than the Exxon Valdez
spilled — spewed from the well.
Relatives of the workers boarded a helicop-
ter Wednesday to see the waters where their
loved ones perished. The helicopter took them
from New Orleans out to the well site, circled
around so people on both sides of the aircraft
could see and then returned to shore, said Arleen
Weise, whose son, Adam, was killed on the rig.
Seventeen family members, one Transocean
official and two pilots were aboard the chop-
per.
“It was just a little emotional, seeing where
they were,” Weise said by phone from Houston,
where rig owner Transocean planned an eve-
ning memorial service.
Asked what went through her mind when
she saw where the rig went down, Weise said,
“Just rise up. I wanted them to come up, but it
didn’t happen.”
In a statement, President Barack Obama
paid tribute to those killed and said that despite
significant progress toward mitigating the spill’s
worst impacts, “the job isn’t done.”
“We continue to hold BP and other respon-
sible parties fully accountable for the damage
they’ve done and the painful losses that they’ve
caused,” he said.
A presidential commission has concluded
that a cascade of technical and managerial fail-
ures — including a faulty cement job — caused
the disaster.
BP, the oil giant which owns the blown-out
well, has paid billions in cleanup costs and to
compensate victims. The company has estimat-
ed its total liability at $40.9 billion, but it might
have to pay many billions more, especially if its
officials were to be found criminally negligent
in pending investigations and trials.
BP said in a statement that it wants
Transocean to pay its “proportionate” share of
those damages and liabilities.
Transocean called BP’s lawsuit “desperate,”
‘’specious,” and “unconscionable.”
“The Deepwater Horizon was a world-class
drilling rig manned by a top-flight crew that
was put in jeopardy by BP, the operator of the
Macondo well, thorough a series of cost-saving
decisions that increased risk — in some cases,
severely,” Transocean said in a statement.
BP also is suing cement contractor Halliburton
alleging fraud, negligence and concealing mate-
rial facts in connection with its work on the rig.
Along the coast, some signs point toward
normalcy returning.
John Williams spent the oil spill anniversary
trying to catch mackerel on the fishing pier at
Gulf State Park in Gulf Shores, Ala. Hundreds
lined the pier.
The state banned anglers from keeping their
catch off the pier last year because of the oil,
but coolers were full of big redfish and king
mackerel Wednesday.
“People will be back. It’s pretty down here,
and it’s good to be out here,” said Williams, of
Daphne.
Members of 10 Alabama churches gathered
on a public beach in Orange Beach, Ala., during
a daylong prayer vigil. As families played in the
surf and BP cleanup workers scoured the beach
a few miles west for tarballs, Abe Feingold sat
under an awning with friends and said a prayer.
“It’s for BP not to forget us,” said Feingold,
of Orange Beach. “If they keep reimbursing
people, we’ll recover.”

Homes evacuated over acid leak

By SHEILA V KUMAR
Associated Press
MONUMENT, Colo. — Residents of 255 homes were
evacuated for most of the day Wednesday after a train passing
through a residential area was found to be leaking hydrochloric
acid.
People were warned to take enough supplies to last 48 hours
in case the cleanup took longer than expected, but all residents
were allowed to go home by 10 p.m. Wednesday.
No injuries or health problems were reported in Monument,
a town of 6,800 just north of the U.S. Air Force Academy in
Colorado Springs. Monitors were set up to detect any harmful
levels of the chemical.
“It’s safe to go home,” said Monument police Lt. Steve
Burk, adding that fliers with information about the incident
were put in people’s mailboxes.
The leak was discovered by another passing train around
1:30 a.m. and was stopped by a magnetic patch by midday.
It’s not clear how long it had been leaking as the Burlington
Northern Santa Fe train traveled from Kansas toward Denver.
The company estimated that up to 75 gallons leaked out,
possibly due to a failed liner, but didn’t know how full the
25,000-gallon tanker was before it spilled. Before the flow was
stopped, it had been leaking a cup of acid a minute, said BNSF
spokeswoman Lena Kent.
Before the tanker was patched, it sat just on the other side of
a fence from some homes but was later moved away from the
area. Experts from Fort Worth, Texas, and Little Rock, Ark.,
were helping transfer the chemical from the damaged tanker
to another.
The rail line reopened Wednesday evening and the new
tanker with the acid was expected to move out today morning,
Federal team helping Texas as 2nd firefighter dies
By DANNY ROBBINS
Associated Press
DALLAS — Weary firefighters finally got a handle on
a massive wildfire spanning three northern Texas counties
Wednesday, aided by federal reinforcements and a weather
change that brought cooler temperatures and calmer winds.
But some officials cautioned that the improved weather
conditions will last for only a few more days, and the biggest
help from Mother Nature still has not arrived.
“We really need some rainfall,” said Dan Byrd, a National
Weather Service meteorologist working with the Texas Forest
Service. “We expect rain in the next few days, but we don’t
know if it’ll get on the fires or not.”
Also Wednesday, as a firefighter who died last week after
battling a blaze was laid to rest, another died from injuries suf-
fered while battling a wildfire earlier this month in the Texas
Panhandle.
The team of federal firefighters and officials from several
U.S. agencies — the second one to help with a Texas fire this
month — joined local personnel Wednesday, this time to help
fight a North Texas blaze that has burned nearly 150,000 acres
in the Possum Kingdom Lake area, about 70 miles west of Fort
Worth, and joined with several blazes in two other counties.
An inventory conducted Wednesday showed about 160
homes have been destroyed since the fire started a week ago,
team spokesman David Boyd said Wednesday night.
Haven Cook, a spokeswoman for the team, said officials
at the lake were encouraged because interior areas of the fire
were burning out and no longer posed a danger. By mid-after-
noon, an evacuation order issued Tuesday night for the nearby
city of Palo Pinto was lifted, she said.
Byrd said that the moister air makes containing the fires
easier because trees and bushes become less flammable.
Texas Forest Service spokesman Marq Webb said weather
conditions Wednesday allowed firefighters to make “great
progress” in building containment lines in the North Texas fire
because the wind was down and humidity was up. He said the
next couple of days are expected to offer similar conditions
before hot and dry weather reappears.
“We’re going to have a two- or three-day reprieve and then
things start ramping up again,” Webb said.
Wildfires have scorched more than 1.4 million acres in
Texas since Jan. 1, according to the Texas Forest Service,
including some massive fires still burning. More than 340 peo-
ple, including firefighters from local departments and federal
agencies and troops from the Texas Army National Guard,
have battled the blaze that started in the Possum Kingdom
Lake area.
Since Sept. 1, the beginning of the state’s fiscal year, the
Texas Forest Service owes $36.3 million for firefighting costs,
according to Robby DeWitt, the agency’s associate director
for finance and administration. Of that, $23.8 million is due
the federal government for air support, he said.
Texas has been receiving federal help with West Texas
wildfires for more than a week. Personnel from more than a
half-dozen federal agencies — including the Forest Service, the
National Park Service and the Bureau of Land Management —
have been battling some massive fires, including a 150,000-
acre fire in Coke County north of San Angelo.
“More of a federal effort is coming into the state now
because of the severity of the fires and the number,” said
Bridget Litten, a spokeswoman for that team, adding that fire
crews have made progress in containing that fire.

Roommate charged with hate crime in NJ suicide

Kent said.
Crews from the Fort Carson Army post near Colorado
Springs relieved workers who had been at the site all day, El
Paso County sheriff’s spokesman Michael Schaller said.
Bobby and Arlene Padilla said they were sleeping when a
neighbor called at 5:30 a.m. to tell them about the leak, and
around 6 a.m. an officer came to the door to tell them to evacu-
ate. They said they don’t have a land line, only cell phones, so
they didn’t get an automated call from authorities.
“Is this really happening?” Bobby Padilla said as the fam-
ily ate at Rosie’s Cafe, which gave out 75 meal vouchers for
evacuees.
The Padillas packed up their five children, including a
3-day-old baby, along with their pet birds and enough clothing
and toiletries for four days, even though the officer told them
they only needed to prepare to be gone for two.
They plan to stay with relatives in nearby Palmer.
“We can’t go back right now, but we’ll improvise,” Bobby
Padilla said.
The Padillas said they could see the tanker from their house
but didn’t see any signs of vapor.

TRENTON, N.J. — A former Rutgers University freshman
who prosecutors said used a webcam to spy on his room-
mate’s same-sex encounter was charged Wednesday with a
hate crime and accused of deleting tweets and texts to cover
up his tracks.
Dharun Ravi, 19, was indicted in Middlesex County on 15
counts including bias intimidation and invasion of privacy in
events that predated the suicide of 18-year-old Tyler Clementi,
who in death started a national conversation on the perils of
bullying.
Ravi had already faced invasion of privacy charges along
with another Rutgers student, Molly Wei. It took prosecutors
months to present their case to a grand jury alleging that Ravi
targeted Clementi because of his sexual orientation and tried
to broadcast the encounter online to intimidate his roommate.
The cascade of events started the day Ravi “learned the
name of his roommate,” Middlesex County Prosecutor Bruce
Kaplan said in a statement, not elaborating. The charges do not
link the alleged spying to Clementi’s suicide.
“The grand jury indictment spells out cold and calculated
acts against our son, Tyler, by his former college roommate,”
Clementi’s parents, Jane and Joe Clementi, said in a statement.
“If these facts are true, as they appear to be, then it is important
for our criminal justice system to establish clear accountability
under the law.”
The indictment is an important step in a heartbreaking case,
state Attorney General Paula Dow said.
The state’s hate crime law “recognizes the terrible harm
caused by acts of bigotry and hatred and imposes harsher pun-
ishment on those who commit such crimes,” Dow said.
If convicted of the most serious bias charge, Ravi could
face five to 10 years in prison.
Kaplan said charges against Wei weren’t presented to the
grand jury. It was unclear Wednesday whether a case against
Wei would go before a grand jury or whether she helped pros-
ecutors in the case against Ravi.
An attorney for Ravi did not return a call seeking comment,
and Wei’s attorney declined to comment.
Prosecutors have said that Ravi used Wei’s computer in her
dorm room to activate a webcam on a computer in his room to
view and stream Clementi’s encounter. Prosecutors said Ravi
tried the same thing during a second encounter Sept. 21, the
day before Clementi’s suicide.
Ravi posted a message on his now-closed Twitter account
on Sept. 19 that read: “Roommate asked for the room till mid-
night. I went into molly’s room and turned on my webcam. I
saw him making out with a dude. Yay.”
Two days later, he wrote on Twitter: “Anyone with iChat,
I dare you to video chat me between the hours of 9:30 and 12.
Yes it’s happening again.”
Lawyers for Ravi and Wei later said that the webcam
stream was viewed on only a single computer and did not
show the men having sex.

Prosecutions turn online poker into a shaky bet

politicians but now an appearance from the president.
At the same time, the openness and accessibility praised by
Obama himself as a key value of social media clashed with the
tightly controlled nature of the event.
Questions came from pre-screened online submissions or
hand-picked Facebook employees, and ranged in topic from the
national debt and immigration to education and health care.
To anyone who tuned in via a live online feed, it wasn’t very
different from its televised counterparts. The only difference
might have been the average age of the fresh-faced audience,
many of whom appeared to be the same age as event moderator
and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, 26.
Zuckerberg offered the first question, asking the president
about his plan to curb the federal deficit.
Afterward, employees were quickly shuttled out as they
rebuffed reporters’ attempts to interview them. Facebook is
known for its rigorous effort to control its media image, and
Zuckerberg seldom grants interviews.
An employee offering a glowing review of his employer and
Obama’s visit was interrupted by a company spokesman, who
declined to give media access to audience members.
It was a stark contrast to Obama’s easygoing introduction,
when he introduced himself with a joke about the famously
informal Zuckerberg.
“My name is Barack Obama, and I’m the guy who got Mark
to wear a jacket and tie,” he said.
At the end, Zuckerberg presented Obama with a hooded
Facebook sweatshirt, the CEO’s signature attire.
The event was held in a vast warehouse space on Facebook’s
Palo Alto campus, just down the road from technology industry
stalwarts like Hewlett-Packard Co. Before Obama took the
stage, the room buzzed with the anticipation as before a rock
concert as employees, industry luminaries, politicians and
celebrities such as M.C. Hammer gathered for the Silicon Valley
social event of the season.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-San Francisco,
posed for smartphone pictures with young admirers, while
Jeremy Stoppelman, co-founder of the consumer review site
Yelp.com, shared thoughts on how he believed social media
could help small businesses. Members of Congress and state
government mingled with hundreds of potential voters.
Obama was the first sitting head of state to visit Facebook’s
brick-and-mortar home, the latest big-name visitor to the tech-
savvy region in Northern California that gave rise to social
media and the personal computer. He will likely not be the last:
the 2012 presidential race is expected to see unprecedented use
of social media as a tool to reach voters.

LAS VEGAS — America’s multibillion-dollar run at the
online poker tables has been interrupted by what could be a
killer hand: federal prosecutions of the three biggest websites.
The government has blocked U.S. gamblers from logging on
to the offshore sites, which are accused of tricking and bribing
banks into processing billions of dollars in illegal profits. Now
gamblers who dreamed of enormous prizes in Las Vegas, or
even used online poker to make a living, can’t access online
bankrolls that in some cases reach six figures.
Some predict the American online poker industry, estimated
to be worth up to $6 billion, may fold under the weight of the
investigations as it threatens amateur and professional players,
televised tournaments and the marketing machine that helped
Texas Hold ’em emerge from smoky casinos to become a domi-
nant form of gambling on the Internet.
“It just cut the head off of everything,” said Robert Fellner,
a 27-year-old Las Vegas poker pro whose roughly $250,000
bankroll on PokerStars was frozen after the indictments. “It’s
scary. It’s much more scary.”
Pay-to-play poker sites have been on shaky legal ground for
years in the U.S., but the government hadn’t prevented gamblers
from playing on the three biggest sites — PokerStars, Full Tilt
Poker and Absolute Poker — before last week’s indictments of
11 executives and bank officials.
More than 75 company bank accounts in 14 countries have
been frozen, and authorities are seeking $3 billion in fines and
restitution.
Poker players, meanwhile, now see an FBI notice where
the websites once were. Some of them had treated their poker
accounts like savings accounts, leaving significant portions of
their net worth online and ready to wager anytime.
It appears that they will get that money back, though it’s not
clear when. The government said Wednesday it had reached
agreements with PokerStars and Full Tilt Poker to restore the
companies’ domain names so they can return money to U.S.
players. PokerStars said on its website that said it expected
cashouts to be available to U.S. residents within several weeks
Full Tilt said in a statement that the agreement was a good
first step, but that it won’t be able to give players refunds until
the government gives up control of those funds. U.S. Attorney
Preet Bharara of the Southern District of New York, however,
said in a statement that “no individual player accounts were ever
frozen or restrained.”
Fellner, who won more than $57,000 at a small World Series
of Poker tournament in 2007, is more concerned about how
he would make a living without online poker. He said cards
have been his only source of income since he was 19, when he
matched his annual salary working at a dry cleaner by playing
online poker for three months.
Since then, he said he’s made more money each year and
now plays for stakes that require $5,000 to $15,000 just to com-
fortably buy in and compete. He wouldn’t specify how much he
has earned so far this year.
Fellner relies on online poker because the Omaha game he
prefers isn’t normally offered at his stakes in the vast major-
ity of Sin City casinos. He said he could support himself with
savings while he waits for things to play out, but doesn’t know
what he’ll do if he can’t replace his income.
“I have friends on Wall Street — they could always get me
an interview,” he said.
