Tri-county
Staff reports
Wave after wave of severe
weather continued to ham-
mer the Tri-county area on
Wednesday, just two days
after one confirmed and one
unconfirmed twister passed
Ohio City on Monday.
Just before 3:30 p.m.
Wednesday, a funnel cloud
was spotted along Kear Road
on Van Wert’s north side.
From all appearances, the
twister seemed to form at that
spot, less than a mile from
where the 2002 F-4 tornado
caused so much destruction.
It is believed to have traveled
to the east/northeast, being
sighted on the ground near
the Van Wert-Putnam County
Line on U.S. 224.
This storm did bend six
power poles on the north side
of the street back across the
roadway, causing a signifi-
cant power outage for the

28 dead, 700 flee as gang
battles hit west Mexico
By GUstAVo rUiZ
the Associated Press
MORELIA, Mexico —
Fierce fighting among appar-
ent rival drug gangs in west-
ern Mexico bloodied one
highway with 28 dead, while
in a nearby state more than
700 people huddled in shel-
ters after fleeing villages that
had become battlegrounds.
The violence, which
appeared to be unrelated,
escalated Wednesday in the
western states of Nayarit and
Michoacan, where drug car-
tels have been warring for
territory.
Police in Nayarit initially
responded to a citizen com-
plaint of a kidnapping by a
group of armed men, who fled
on a federal highway near the
town of Ruiz in the central
part of the state, according
the state prosecutors office.
As the officers headed
toward the scene, they heard
a second report of a shoot-
out involving the same men,
according to the statement,
which did not identify the
gangs or the victims.
Police found 28 men lying
dead and four others wounded
on the road littered with bullet
casings from high-powered
weapons and 10 abandoned
vehicles.
The statement released
late Wednesday by the attor-
ney general’s office gave no
further details.
Earlier in the day, an offi-
cial in the nearby western
state of Michoacan said drug
Pakistan PM vows to target militant sanctuaries
ISLAMABAD (AP) —
Pakistan will use “all appro-
priate means” to attack mili-
tant hideouts inside the coun-
try, the prime minister said
today, amid rising criticism of
the nation’s security forces in
the wake of a deadly 16-hour
assault on a naval base last
weekend.
Yousuf Raza Gilani gave
no indication the army was
considering new offensives
along the Afghan border,
where most of the militants
in Pakistan are based along
with other groups and affili-
ates who are attacking U.S.
troops in Afghanistan.
The United States wants to
see action in North Waziristan
region especially, where a
deadly Afghan Taliban faction
is based, to help it put pres-
sure on Afghan insurgents and
enable it to begin withdrawing
troops later this summer after
10 years of war.

etly helping train Pakistan

Thousands evacuate as typhoon skirts Philippines
MANILA, Philippines

temporary shelters today as
a powerful typhoon packing
strong winds and plenty of
rain roared toward the coun-

Typhoon Songda was not
expected to make landfall but

cartel violence had prompted
frightened villagers there to
flee hamlets and take refuge
at five shelters set up at a
church, event hall, recreation
center and schools.
It is at least the second
time a large number of rural
residents have been displaced
by drug violence in Mexico.
In November, about 400 peo-
ple in the northern border
town of Ciudad Mier took
refuge in the neighboring city
of Ciudad Aleman following
cartel gunbattles. That shelter
has since been closed and
most have returned to their
homes.
Michoacan state Civil
Defense Director Carlos
Mandujano said about 700
people spent Tuesday night
at a primitive water park
in the town of Buenavista
Tomatlan, with most sleep-
ing under open thatched-roof
structures.
Mandujano said state
authorities were providing
sleeping mats, blankets and
food for those in the shelter.
Residents told local
authorities that gunbattles
between rival drug cartel fac-
tions had made it too dan-
gerous for them to stay in
outlying hamlets. The latest
reports said arsonists were
burning avocado farms in the
nearby town of Acahuato.
“We woke up with fear
(on Monday), but things
appeared to have quieted
down. It wasn’t until later that
morning that we saw SUVs
with armed men driving by
west, but that cooperation has
faltered amid several incidents
that have exposed the fragile
nature of ties between the two
nations — most recently the
unilateral May 2 raid in which
U.S. Navy SEALs killed
Osama bin Laden.
On Tuesday, Pentagon
spokesman Marine Col.
David Lapan said the United
States was reducing the num-
ber of its military trainers in
Pakistan, in a further sign of
the deteriorating relationship.
Lapan said there were more
than 200 trainers in Pakistan,
but he provided no details on
how many had been with-
drawn since Islamabad made
its request two weeks ago.
Gilani’s remarks followed a
meeting late Wednesday with
defense chiefs. He said the
government “will ensure that
terrorists hideouts are being
destroyed using all appropri-
ate means.”
“It is clear that we are now
entering another defining
phase in the struggle against
if it does not make landfall,”
said forecaster Mario Palafox.
About 20 typhoons hit the
Philippines every year, kill-
ing hundreds of people and
destroying crops despite gov-
ernment efforts to minimize
casualties and damage by
ordering early evacuations.
In central Albay province,
Gov. Joey Salceda sent mili-
tary trucks to begin moving
250,000 residents from coast-
al and landslide-prone villages
and areas in the path of debris
from the Mayon volcano.
He also offered 11 pounds
(five kilograms) of rice as an
incentive for each family that

very fast and shooting at each
other,” said a woman who
did not want to be named for
security reasons.
Several displaced people
said they would stay at the
shelters all week before con-
sidering going back to their
villages.
“I am not scared, but my
children are,” said a mother,
who asked not to be quoted
by name because of fear of
retaliation.
The fighting in Michoacan
is believed to involve rival
factions of the Michoacan-
based La Familia drug cartel,
some of whose members now
call themselves “The Knights
Templar.”
Mexico still has fewer
people displaced by violence
than countries like Colombia,
according to the Norway-
based Internal Displacement
Monitoring Centre, which
tracks such figures. It esti-
mates about 230,000 people
in Mexico have been driven
from their homes, often to stay
with relatives or in the United
States. An estimated 3.6 mil-
lion to 5.2 million people have
been displaced by decades of
drug- and guerrilla-war vio-
lence in Colombia.
Buenavista police chief
Othoniel Montes Herrera
said he has neither the man-
power nor the armament to
patrol rural areas frequent-
ed by drug gangs. Sending
ill-armed officers out there
“would be certain death, and
we’re not thinking of putting
our personnel at that risk.”
terrorists and for reconciliation
and peace in Afghanistan,” he
said, referring to Pakistan’s
desire to play a leading role
in any negotiations to end the
war in Afghanistan.
Pakistan’s army has
attacked militants in several
border regions over the last
four years, but with limited
success and public support.
It has yet to attack North
Waziristan, now consid-
ered the hub of al-Qaida and
Taliban activity, saying its
troops are too stretched.
The weekend attack on
the base in the port city of
Karachi was carried out by
militants who had trained
in Waziristan, according to
Interior Minister Rehman
Malik. At least 10 people
were killed and two U.S. sup-
plied aircraft destroyed in the
attack, one of the most brazen
in years.
The raid raised fresh anxi-
eties domestically and inter-
national about the security of
Pakistan’s nuclear weapons.
evacuates.
Government offices in
the region were closed and
flights canceled. More than
7,000 people were stranded
in ports after the coast guard
barred sea travel in areas with
typhoon warnings.
In other provinces leading
up to the northwest, officials
have collected rubber boats
and food supplies and put res-
cuers on standby.

Columbus keeps

COLUMBUS (AP) — A
new public park is ready for
visitors where a shopping mall
once stood a short walk from the
Ohio Statehouse in Columbus.
Thursday is grand opening

Ohio schools axe jobs anticipating funding cuts
By LISA CORNWELL
Associated Press
CINCINNATI — Ohio
school districts already are
cutting thousands of jobs in
anticipation of losing funding
in the upcoming state budget,
as unions and other educa-
tion groups lobby hard at the
Statehouse to get some of it
restored.
In Cincinnati, 226 school
district jobs have been cut,
including 145 teaching posi-
tions. Columbus schools are
eliminating the equivalent
of about 260 full-time jobs,
including about 200 teaching
positions. Cleveland’s district
is eliminating more than 800
jobs, including 643 teacher
slots. Dayton school officials
are cutting nearly 300 jobs,
including about 140 teacher
and teacher-support positions.
“No corner of our district
has been untouched by the
Dayton Superintendent Lori
Ward said.
Smaller districts are slash-

in northeast Ohio is cutting
more than 70 teacher and
teaching-support positions,
and 13 teachers won’t be
replaced in southwest Ohio’s
New Richmond district.

Senate votes down
House plan for Medicare
By ANDREW TAYLOR
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — GOP senators immediate-
Joined by several moderate
Republicans, Democrats con-
trolling the Senate rejected a
controversial House budget
plan for turning Medicare
into a voucher-like program
for future beneficiaries.
Five Republicans joined
every Democrat in the 57-40
vote killing the measure,
which calls for transforming
Medicare into a program in
which future beneficiaries —
people now 54 years old and
younger — would be given
a subsidy to purchase health
insurance rather than have
the government directly pay
hospital and doctor bills.
Democrats said the GOP
plan would “end Medicare as
we know it,” and they made
it the central issue in a special
election Tuesday in which
Democrats seized a longtime
GOP district in western New
York, rattling Republicans.
Among the moderate
Republicans that opposed the
stringent House plan were
Sens. Olympia Snowe and
Susan Collins of Maine, Scott
Brown of Massachusetts and
Lisa Murkowski of Alaska.
Tea-party favorite Sen. Rand
Paul of Kentucky opposed

doesn’t actually balance and

WASHINGTON — check-outs, that might be rel-
Congress is rushing to extend
the life of three anti-terror
tools, including the use of
roving wiretaps, before they
expire at midnight.
The Senate was set to start
voting on the legislation,
including possible amend-
ments, this morning. Final
passage during the day would
send it to the House for quick
approval and then onward to
President Barack Obama in
Europe for his signature.
The rapid-fire action on
key elements of the post-9/11
USA Patriot Act comes after
several days of impasse in the
Senate and results in part from
the prodding of senior intelli-
gence officials, who warned of
the consequences of disrupt-
ing surveillance operations.
“Should the authority to
use these critical tools expire,
our nation’s intelligence and
law enforcement professionals
will have less capability than
they have today to detect ter-
rorist plots,” James Clapper,
the director of national intel-
ligence, wrote congressional
leaders.

Obama: US, Russia to work on missile defense
By JULIE PACE
Associated Press
DEAUVILLE, France —
President Barack Obama said
today the U.S. and Russia
are committed to finding
an approach that meets the
security needs of both coun-
tries on the contentious issue
of American plans to build
a missile defense shield in
Central and Eastern Europe.
The United States says
its missile defense plans are
aimed at countering emerging
threats from countries includ-
ing Iran and North Korea, but
Russia views the moves as
possible encroachment.
For his part Russian
President Dmitry Medvedev
said the future of missile
defense would be solved by
future politicians — perhaps
in the year 2020 — but that
he and Obama can help lay
the foundation now.
Meeting on the sidelines
of an economic summit in
France, the leaders agreed
missile defense is a sensitive
issue and suggested it remains
so in their relationship. While
they agreed to work on it, they
showed no signs of reach-
ing an understanding. Obama
wore a stern look when the
Democrats, who control the
Senate, for failing to offer a
plan of their own.
ly forced a vote on President
Barack Obama’s February
budget proposal, which
opened to chilly reviews in
February for failing to aggres-
sively tackle issues like the
long-term future of benefit
programs like Medicare and
Social Security. Democrats
joined Republicans in oppos-
ing the plan, which failed to
receive a single vote.
Democrats staged the
votes to put Republicans on
record regarding the House-
passed budget plan, authored
by Budget Committee
Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis.
In addition to Medicare, the
measure would sharply cut
the Medicaid health care pro-
gram for the poor and a host
of other domestic programs.
Critics point to a non-
partisan analysis by the
Congressional Budget
Office predicting the House
Medicare plan would pay a
shrinking share of seniors’
insurance premiums over
time and would lead them
to either choose policies that
offer less generous cover-
age or force them to pay
thousands of dollars a year
in higher premiums to main-
tain the coverage currently
offered by Medicare.

selves but instead on motions

documents, including library

conduct surveillance of “lone
wolf” suspects not known to
be tied to specific terrorist
groups.
The Patriot Act was passed
soon after the Sept. 11, 2001,
attacks, and almost all of it is
permanent law. But the pro-
visions on roving wiretaps
and access to business docu-
ments were given expiration
dates because of concerns that
they overstepped boundaries
on civil liberties. Those two
and the “lone wolf” measure,
which was part of a 2004
intelligence law, have needed
numerous temporary exten-
sions as lawmakers argued
over how best to ensure that
they were not abusing indi-
vidual rights.
The effort to extend the pro-
visions this time came down
to a showdown between the
Senate’s most powerful mem-
ber, Majority Leader Harry
Reid, and a Republican fresh-
man, Rand Paul of Kentucky.
Paul, a libertarian and tea
party favorite, opposes the
Patriot Act and objects to
renewal of the expiring provi-
sions on the grounds that they
violate constitutional rights to
privacy. Negotiations with
Reid failed to meet Paul’s
demands that he be able to
men spoke to reporters.
Medvedev has warned
that failure to cooperate with
Moscow on the shield could
spark a new arms race. The
issue has increasingly been
an irritant as the two leaders
have worked to improve rela-
tions between their countries.
Medvedev said that main-
taining a strategic balance
of forces is important to the
relationship. He said that
goal was helped by the New
START Treaty, ratified late
last year by the U.S. Senate,
which reduces the number of
strategic warheads each coun-
try can possess.
After their one-on-
one meeting, Obama and
Medvedev walked the short
distance to the site of the
Group of Eight summit of
industrial nations to meet
the host, French President
Nicholas Sarkozy. Along
the way, Obama stopped to
shake hands with onlookers
held behind metal barricades,
many of whom wore blue
plastic ponchos under the
overcast and threatening skies
at this seaside resort.
Obama planned to use the

to simply begin debate on
them.
Under Congress’ arcane
budget process, a budget plan
is not actual legislation but a
nonbinding blueprint that sets
a framework for future leg-
islation. While it sets goals
for raising or lowering taxes
and imposing spending cuts,
in most years the vote on
a so-called budget resolution
is mostly symbolic. In many
years, that follow-up legis-
lation is simply a round of
appropriations bills.
With the House and Senate
controlled by different par-
ties, there’s no hope for a
final compromise between
the two chambers.
In fact, Democrats have
pulled the plug on the bud-
get process for now, await-
ing the results of negotiations
between Vice President Joe
Biden and senior lawmak-
ers in both parties that are
aimed at producing an agree-
ment on a package of spend-
ing cuts exceeding $1 trillion
over the coming decade. The
cuts would be packaged with
must-pass legislation to per-
mit the government to keep
issuing bonds to finance its
operations and keep its prom-
ises to investors in U.S. debt

called debt limit looms.
offer amendments to the leg-
islation, including one amend-
ment that would have exclud-
ed some gun records from
Patriot Act investigations.
An exasperated Reid used
procedural maneuvers to cut
off debate, while Paul refused
to allow the time for a final
vote to be moved up.
“If the senator from
Kentucky refuses to relent,”
Reid said earlier Wednesday,
“that would increase the risk
of a retaliatory terrorist strike
against the homeland and
hamper our ability to deal a
truly fatal blow to al-Qaida.”
Paul objected to the “scur-
rilous accusation. I’ve been
accused of wanting to allow
terrorists to have weapons to
attack America. ... Can we not
have a debate ... over whether
or not there should be some
constitutional protections?”
Paul had support from sev-
eral Democrats who want to
see more congressional over-
sight of how the Patriot Act
operations are carried out.
Sen. Judiciary Committee
Chairman Patrick Leahy,

ment co-sponsored by Paul,

while also creating incentives
to encourage other countries
in the region to pursue greater
political freedoms.
The summit comes on
the heels of Obama’s sweep-
ing address at London’s
Westminster Hall Wednesday,
where he cast the U.S., Britain
and other like-minded allies
in Europe as the world’s
“greatest catalysts for global
action.” He will echo a similar
theme in his discussions with
G-8 partners on the recent
Arab uprisings and argue that
the political protesters in the
Middle East and North Africa
share their democratic values.
Obama will also hold one-
on-one meetings with Sarkozy
and Japanese Prime Minister
Naoto Kan.
Obama’s meeting with Kan
will be the first between the
two leaders since the March

Powerful storms pound several states

By CHARLES WILSON
Associated Press
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — In storm-weary
middle America, many people were counting
themselves fortunate after powerful storms
swept through the region for the third time in
four days but apparently claimed no lives.
Dozens of people were injured, mobile
homes were flipped and roofs were torn off
houses when tornadoes and thunderstorms
hit Indiana, Illinois, Missouri and other states
Wednesday evening.
In southern Indiana, neighbors used flash-
lights to check on each other and their homes
and barns near Bloomington after powerful
winds overturned two mobile homes. Crews
worked overnight to clear uprooted trees and
downed power lines after a tornado touched
down in a mostly rural area about 25 miles
south near Bedford.
The extent of the damage wouldn’t be
known until daybreak, but residents expressed
relief that no deaths were reported in the latest
round of storms even though several homes
were destroyed and more than a dozen people
were injured, including three or four children.
“We’re very fortunate,” said Lawrence
County Sheriff Sam Craig.
Wednesday’s storms followed a deadly
outbreak Tuesday in Arkansas, Oklahoma
and Kansas that killed at least 15 people.
On Sunday, the nation’s deadliest single tor-
nado since 1950 killed 125 in the southwest
Missouri city of Joplin.
The National Weather Service issued
tornado watches and a series of warnings in
a dozen states earlier Wednesday, stretching
northwest from Texas though the Mississippi
River valley to Ohio. By this morning, tor-
nado watches were in effect in most of
Mississippi, northwestern Alabama and cen-
tral Kentucky.
“This is just a wild ride,” said Beverly
Poole, chief meteorologist at the National
Weather Service’s office in Paducah, Ky.
Heavy rain, hail and lightning pounded
Memphis on Wednesday night as a tornado
warning sounded. There were no confirmed
reports of tornadoes touching down.
Back in southern Indiana, tow truck driver
Martin Poteat was in the parking lot of the
Walmart on the south side of Bloomington
when the storm struck, ripping a cart corral
loose and sending it into his truck and spawn-
ing up a debris cloud.
“Everything came up off the ground.
Everything was just flying,” he said.
Earlier in the day, as many as 25 people suf-
fered minor injuries when a tornado damaged
several homes and businesses in the central
Missouri city of Sedalia. Officials said most
were able to get themselves to the hospital for
treatment.
“Considering the destruction that occurred
in Joplin — being that we’re in tornado alley
and Sedalia has historically been hit by torna-
does in the past — I think people heeded that
warning,” Pettis County Sheriff Kevin Bond
said. “And so, I think that helped tremen-
dously.”
Officials in Sedalia ended the school year
several days early because of damage to
buses.
Sean McCabe was rushing to the base-
ment of his mother’s home in Sedalia when
the tornado struck and shoved him down the
final flight of steps. The 30-year-old suffered
scrapes and cuts on his hands, wrists, back and
feet. He said neighbors and firefighters helped
him get out.
Most of the roof was ripped off the house,
which was among the more heavily damaged
homes in the area. McCabe, who has a service
dog for epilepsy, said both his family’s dogs
survived, including one found muddy and wet
about a block away.
“I saw little debris and then I saw big debris,
and I’m like ‘OK, let’s go,”’ McCabe said.
Elsewhere in the hard-hit neighborhood,
law officers stood on corners and electrical
crews worked on power lines. Numerous trees
were down, and tarps were covering some
houses while others were missing chunks of
their roofs. People were cleaning debris and
sifting through belongings.
In Illinois, strong winds, rain and at least
four possible tornadoes knocked down power
lines and damaged at least one home and a
number of farm buildings across the central
and eastern parts of the state.
“Mostly it was shingles off roofs and garag-
es,” said Illinois Emergency Management
Agency spokeswoman Patti Thompson.
