For The Record

Iran to free 1 of 3 OBITUARIES The Daily

captive Americans
By NASSER KARIMI
The Associated Press
TEHRAN, Iran — Iran
said Thursday it will free
Sarah Shourd, one of three
Americans jailed for more
than 13 months, as an act
of clemency to mark the end
of the Islamic holy month of
Ramadan.
The imprisonment of the
Americans has deepened ten-
sions between the U.S. and
Iran, a relationship already
strained over Washington’s
suspicions that Tehran is try-
ing to manufacture nuclear
weapons — something Iran
denies.
Bak Sahraei, the second
counselor of Iran’s UN mis-
sion, sent an e-mail confirm-
ing the release of Shourd,
following up an earlier text
message from the Culture
Ministry telling reporters them
to come to a Tehran hotel on
Saturday morning to witness
the release.
The site is the same one
where the three were allowed
the only meeting with their
mothers since they were
detained in July 2009.
Iran claims they illegally
crossed the border from Iraq’s
northern Kurdish region and
had threatened to put the three
on trial for spying. Their fami-
lies say they were hiking in
the largely peaceful region of
Iraq and that if they crossed
the border, it was accidental.
“Offering congratulations
on Eid al-Fitr,” the ministry
text message said, referring to
the feast that marks the end of
Ramadan.
“The release of one of
the detained Americans will
be Saturday at 9 a.m. at the
Estaghlal hotel.”
The gesture could be a
calculated move by Iran to
soften international criticism
Critics say Mexico needs to learn from Colombia
By FRANK BAJAK and
ALEXANDRA OLSON
The Associated Press
MEXICO CITY — With
a blunt remark that grated on
Mexicans, Washington’s top
diplomat was merely echo-
ing a growing concern about
the alarming violence and
instability being caused by
Mexico’s war on drug car-
tels.
Mexican officials public-
ly disputed on Thursday the
declaration by U.S. Secretary
of State Hillary Rodham
Clinton the previous day that
Mexico is “looking more and
more like Colombia looked
20 years ago.”
Clinton’s assessment is
nevertheless shared by the
crime-fighters who disman-
tled Colombia’s killer car-
tels and have been offering
Mexican officials, police and
prosecutors advice and train-
ing for more than two years.
Critics say Mexican
President Felipe Calderon’s
government has been too
slow to heed that advice.

bans texting

CINCINNATI (AP) —
City Council members in
Cincinnati on Thursday
approved an ordinance ban-
ning the sending, reading or
writing of text messages while
driving.
The ordinance adopted
Thursday by Cincinnati’s city
council in an 8-1 vote also bans
accessing the Internet while
driving. Other Ohio cities —
including Toledo, Columbus
and Cleveland — have similar
bans, and state lawmakers are
debating a statewide texting
ban.
Legislation passed the Ohio
House of Representatives
in March, and a similar bill
has been introduced in the
Senate.
Cincinnati’s ban is expect-
ed to take effect in 30 days,
and drivers could be pulled
over and fined $100 for the

When the idea of a high-

brought up, ORDC was one
of the first agencies to invest
in feasibility studies that led
to the historic public-private

gets 10 years
As the youngest students
prepare for the opening of
the Vantage Preschool, stu-
dents and staff in the Early
Childhood Education pro-
gram are finalizing plans and
activities for the upcoming
year.
One activity in particular,
the intergenerational project
with Vancrest Healthcare
Center, has already begun.
Vantage ECE students accom-
panied residents to the Van
Wert County Fair on Senior
Citizen Day. They helped
wheel the residents through
the Commercial building and
helped them get their lunch.
“I’m excited to start taking
the preschoolers to Vancrest
for activities. It’s nice talk-
ing to the older people,”
senior Kayla DeMoss from
Lincolnview said.
The project will include
monthly visits to Vancrest
with the preschoolers and
their teachers to read stories,
perform finger plays and
play games. The Vancrest
assisted living residents
will come to Vantage once
a month for art and activi-
ties and lunch in the Cup &
Saucer Restaurant.
“This intergenerational
program with Vantage and
Vancrest is such a win-
win situation for all those
involved. The residents at
Vancrest enjoy the children;
their enthusiasm and joy
for life is so contagious and
reminds us all of the joys
in simple things and seeing
things from a child’s perspec-
tive. The children also devel-
op relationships with the resi-
dents and discover that these
ëgrandmas and grandpasí are
nice and that they are able to
do things for them,” Vancrest
healthcare activities coordi-
nator (and Vantage alumnus)
Jana Wireman said.
In addition to the intergen-
erational project, the Vantage
preschool children experi-
ence hands on activities in
language arts, science, math,
kindergarten readiness, and
literature.
For more information
about the Vantage preschool,
please contact Marcia Osenga
or Donna Myers at 419-238-
5411 ext. 137.
The Vantage Pancake and
Sausage Breakfast will be
held from 7-11 a.m. on Sept.
25.
“This new rail corridor
means Ohio shippers have a
fast, efficient link to world
markets, and those markets
to us,” said ORDC Executive
Director Matt Dietrich.
ODOT and ORDC are
also investing more than
$80 million in additional
roadway and rail projects to
better connect the Heartland
Corridor to the Rickenbacker
Intermodal Terminal in
Columbus, including the
$14 million stimulus-funded
Rickenbacker Parkway - a
four-lane divided roadway
around the western edge of
the nearby airport.
The Rickenbacker
Intermodal Terminal is
already undergoing an
expansion of track capacity
and is attracting a growing
number of distribution and
logistics companies, bring-
ing new jobs for the trucking
industry and warehousing
operations
“These investments will
improve safety and bet-
ter connect the modes to

change, widening of bridges
on I-270 between US Route
23 and I-71, and a partner-
ship effort to improve the
I-71 Grove City interchange
at State Route 665.
The state’s investments
in the Heartland Corridor
are part of a competitive
rail investment strategy -
which also includes invest-
ments in the CSX National
Gateway and the 3C “Quick
Start” passenger rail service
- aimed at improving Ohio’s
position as a logistics and
distribution leader.

US shrugs off North
Korea succession talk
By FOSTER KLUG
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The
Obama administration is
greeting with a shrug an
expected North Korean politi-
cal convention that could see
the public debut of the coun-
try’s next ruler.
World leaders come and
go, even in totalitarian North
Korea; the important thing,
U.S. officials say, is for the
country to live up to past
nuclear disarmament prom-
ises.
As North Korea hints that
a meeting that could promote
Kim Jong Il’s son as succes-
sor is imminent, the United
States has steered clear of pre-
diction, saying it is uncertain
whether a new leader would
spark change.
“We’re watching the lead-
ership process and don’t have
any idea yet how it’s going to
turn out,” Secretary of State
Hillary Rodham Clinton said
this week. She made clear
that the U.S. goal is “to try to
convince whoever is in lead-
ership in North Korea that
their future would be far bet-
ter served by” giving up their
nuclear ambitions.
The meeting would be the
biggest since a 1980 gathering
where Kim Jong Il made his
Errant drone near DC almost met by fighter jets
By LOLITA C. BALDOR
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The
U.S. military almost launched
fighter jets and discussed a
possible shoot-down when
an errant Navy drone briefly
veered into restricted airspace
near the nation’s capital last
month, a senior military offi-
cial said Thursday.
The incident under-
scores safety concerns with
unmanned aircraft as defense
officials campaign to use
them more often during natu-
ral disasters and for homeland
security.
Navy Adm. James
Winnefeld Jr., head of
Northern Command,
said Thursday that the
August mishap could ham-
per the Pentagon’s push to
have the Federal Aviation
Administration ease proce-
dures for drone use by the
military in domestic skies.
“It certainly doesn’t help
our case any time there’s a
UAV (unmanned aerial vehi-
cle) that wanders around a lit-
tle bit outside of its controlled
airspace,” said Winnefeld,
who also is commander of the
North American Aerospace
Defense Command. “We
realize the responsibility on
our part to include the techni-
cal capability and proper pro-
cedures. We’d just like to be
able to get at it quicker.”
Currently drones are used
Fears of a second recession ease — for now
By MARTIN
CRUTSINGER and
JEANNINE AVERSA
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — No, the
economy isn’t roaring ahead.
And no, companies aren’t
making lots of job offers. But
a fresh batch of economic data
Thursday at least eased sum-
mertime fears that the econo-
my might be on the brink of
another recession.
Far fewer people applied for
unemployment aid last week,
suggesting layoffs are easing.
And the nation’s trade deficit
narrowed in July, thanks to a
bigger appetite overseas for
American exports.
Other recent data support
the notion that the economy,
while growing only fitfully,
is at least not in danger of
stalling:
— Hiring by private
companies over the summer
turned out to be better than
expected. The pace still isn’t
enough to bring down high
unemployment, but it indi-
cates economic expansion.
— Stock prices have
staged a September rally and
put the Dow Jones industri-
al average back about even
for 2010. Stocks posted their
sixth gain in the past seven
days Thursday, a sign of ris-
ing investor confidence.
— Drivers are benefiting
from lower gas prices, which
public debut as future leader.
Kim reportedly is suffering
from health problems and is
thought to be grooming his
youngest son, Kim Jong Un,
to continue the ruling dynasty
that began with Kim Jong Il’s
father, Kim Il Sung, who died
in 1994.
State Department spokes-
man P.J. Crowley said it is
hard to say whether new North
Korean leadership would make
a difference in U.S. policy.
“Leaders of all stripes change
around the world. Leaders
don’t live forever,” Crowley
said. “What we’re looking for
is a change in the direction
of North Korean policy and
North Korean actions.”
Should it convene, the
North Korean convention
would come amid a flurry
of diplomatic activity among
the five countries pushing the
North to resume stalled nucle-
ar disarmament negotiations.
Obama administration offi-
cials say they are in deep con-
sultations with China, Russia,
Japan and South Korea, the
other members of the six-
nation talks.
Envoys from China, which
has pushed for the resumption
of talks, and South Korea,
which has accused North
Korea of torpedoing one if its
warships in March, visited the
for patrols and surveillance
along the nation’s southern
border, and sometimes at the
northern border. But the mili-
tary wants to use them more
during hurricanes and other
disasters to evaluate damage
or target rescue efforts.
The FAA has been work-
ing for some time on new
regulations governing the use
of drones, but has yet to com-
plete them. And the August
incident brought one of the
FAA’s key concerns to bear
— the prospect that remote
operators can lose communi-
cations with the aircraft.
Drones routinely operate
in war zones, such as Iraq
and Afghanistan, where there
is much less business jet or
small plane traffic. FAA offi-
cials say there is a greater
danger of collisions with such
smaller aircraft in the U.S.,
particularly when drones are
flying at lower altitudes away
from large cities and airports,
in areas where planes aren’t
required to have transponders
or collision warning systems.
In such cases, according to
the FAA, it is more important
for pilots to be able to see
each other and take action.
Winnefeld said he was in
the operations center watch-
ing when controllers lost the
link to their Navy MQ-8B
Fire Scout during a test at the
naval air station at Patuxent

the capital region’s restricted

season has ended with plenti-
ful supplies in storage.
— Shoppers are enjoying
discounted prices in stores
and have helped lift retail
sales. Analysts think stores
will continue to discount to
get shoppers to spend this fall
and for the holiday season.
Analysts say they think
the economy will continue
to plod along in the com-
ing months. The economy
will grow, though too weakly
to create many jobs for the
nearly 15 million unemployed
Americans.
“At the moment, we can
rule out a double-dip for the
economy,” Chris Rupkey, chief
economist at Bank of Tokyo-
Mitsubishi, said Thursday.
“Things look better than they
have in several weeks, and
there is no danger of a new
downturn in activity.”
The last time the nation
suffered something like a dou-
ble-dip recession was in 1980
and 1981. That period met a
generally accepted definition
of a double-dip: The economy
shrinks, starts growing again,
then shrinks again for at least
six months.
The second recession
back then, from July 1981 to
November 1982, was a severe
one. But it ushered in a period
of explosive growth starting
in 1983.

State Department last week.
The Obama administration’s
top envoys on North Korea
head to Asia next week for
discussions with their coun-
terparts in Seoul, Tokyo and
Beijing.
The sinking of the war-
ship Cheonan is the latest
hurdle for the long-running
disarmament talks. A South
Korean-led team of interna-
tional investigators blamed
the explosion on a torpedo
fired from a North Korean
submarine. North Korea
denies any involvement.
The top U.S. diplomat for
East Asia, Kurt Campbell,
asked Thursday whether
a North Korean apology or
admission of guilt is necessary
for nuclear talks to resume,
said, “It will be critical for
there to be some element of
reconciliation between the
North and South for any pro-
cess to move forward.”
There have been recent
signs of an easing in North-
South tensions. North Korea
this week freed the crew of
a South Korean fishing boat
seized a month ago. The North
also has asked the South for
aid.
Crowley said the United
States is prepared to engage
the North, even as Washington
enforces tough sanctions.
airspace.
“Do you let it fly over the
national capital region? Let it
run out of gas and hopefully
crash in a farmer’s field? Or
do you take action and shoot it
down?” said Winnefeld. “You
don’t want to shoot it down
over a populated area if you
can avoid it. We were going
through all of that calculus.”
As the fighter jets were
about to be launched, he said,
the Navy was able to repro-
gram the helicopter-like craft
and bring it back.
Winnefeld said he agrees
with the need for airspace
safety, but maintains there is
great demand for the drones
and the military should be
able to get them into the air
more quickly when needed.
“We can’t move quickly
enough for me to solve this
problem,” Winnefeld said.
“We need to push forward
into getting the technology
and the permission and the
comfort level up to where we
can do this as a matter of rou-
tine. This is where the future
is going.”
Speaking to defense report-
ers, Winnefeld said discussions
are continuing with the FAA
to find ways to streamline
the approval process. At the
same time, he said the Defense
Department also must address
FAA’s safety concerns by
insuring that the drones have
the software and systems nec-
essary to fly safely.
This time, few economists
foresee a similar bust-boom-
bust cycle. Rather, they expect
a continuation of the steady
but low-grade rebound from
the recession, which began in
December 2007 and is thought
to have ended last year.
Thursday’s data added to
confidence that the economy
will keep growing slowly and
eventually lead to more job
creation.
Still, some economists
warn that despite the latest
encouraging data, the threat
of a double-dip hasn’t been
extinguished. After all, it was
just weeks ago, after a flurry
of gloomy reports, that some
had raised concerns about a
possible new recession.
In mid-August, for exam-
ple, weekly first-time claims
for unemployment benefits hit
the half-million mark — the
highest point since November.
That was a reminder that far
too few jobs are being created
to reduce the unemployment
rate, now at 9.6 percent.
Nigel Gault, chief U.S.
economist at IHS Global
Insight, still estimates the
threat of a double-dip reces-
sion remains around 25 per-
cent. Mark Zandi, chief econ-
omist at Moody’s Analytics,
puts the likelihood even
higher: 33 percent, up from
20 percent three months ago,
before the economy began to
decelerate.

Jays open MAC grid Lady Jays pound Wildcats 10-0

season vs. Minster
By JIM METCALFE
The Delphos Herald
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com
Minster has St. John’s head
football coach Todd Schulte
concerned as the teams get
ready to tee off Midwest
Athletic Conference action
tonight at Minster
Memorial Field.
Will the 0-2
Wildcats stay with the
game plans instituted
by first-year head man
Nate Moore or will they
try something else?
For Schulte, his 2-0
Blue Jays will just
have to be prepared FOOTBALL
for anything.
“That’s what PREVIEW
you’re not sure about
when getting ready for a team
like this. They have new sys-
tems and new coaches in place,
so you just
have to be
as prepared
as possible,”
the 12th-
year head
man noted.
“They’ve
actually
been in both
games, two
very good
opponents in Vogt
Fort Loramie
and Sidney Lehman. The
breaks just haven’t gone their
way and you wonder if this is
the week some of those things
won’t bounce their way.”
He will simply rely on a
veteran offensive line, led by
left tackle Austin Vogt (5 pan-
cake blocks), left guard Joey
Grubenhoff (4) and center Alex
Recker (3), that is paving the
way in averaging 34.5 points
per game. They clear the way
for tailback Evan Burgei (24
attempts, 183 yards, 3 TDs),
Jordan Leininger (26 rushes,
152 yards, 2 scores; 11-of-22
passing, 170 yards, 2 scores,
1 pick), Jordan Bergfeld (14
rushes, 107 yards, 2 tallies),
Tyler Bergfeld (4 grabs, 39
yards, 1 score) and Josh Rode
(9-of-9 extra points).
need to continue to work on
our tackling. We like where
we are but we’re not where we
want to be.”
The Jays are hoping to get
back two-way tackle Alex
Wehri fully from an injury.
The Jays took down
Jeromesville Hillsdale 35-7 a
week ago.
“Our coaching staff
was talking about the
game afterward and it
reminded us of a MAC
game; they were physi-
cal from the start and
kept hitting all game.
They were as aggres-
sive as we’re used to
and stacked the box to
try and stop the run,”
Schulte added. “It took
us a half to really get
our offense untracked until
we could make the necessary
adjustments.
“ T h e
defense did
its usual great
job, keep-
ing us in the
game until
we could
get going
on offense. I
thought the
special teams
were as
crucial. We Grubenhoff
made plays
there that changed the com-
plexion of the game.”
Moore figures his team has
made progress in the early
going; it’s just that mistakes
have been his biggest bugaboo
as they come off a 34-13 loss
to Sidney Lehman.
“These boys are working
their butts off. It hasn’t been
for lack of effort that we’re
0-2; we’ve played two very
good football teams,” Moore
asserted. “We played very well
against Fort Loramie but turn-
overs killed us. We hurt our-
selves more than our opponent
did. We didn’t play as well last
week; we made different mis-
takes, like lining up incorrectly
on defense.

team of discipline and high
By JIM METCALFE

DELPHOS — A senior-
dominated St. John’s girls soc-
cer team took on an under-
class-laden and thin Jefferson
unit on a gorgeous Thursday
afternoon at St. John’s High
School.
It would be the Lady
Wildcats’ lone “home” match
of the season and they honored
their parents before the match
but the Lady Blue Jays had too
much depth and experience,
swatting the “hosts” 10-0.
“We came out with good
intensity. This was as close to
a home match as we’d have all
season and the girls were ready,”
Jefferson coach Lindsey Drerup
began. “However, we just don’t
have the quickness and ath-
leticism overall, nor the depth,
that St. John’s does. We have
some girls with speed; just not
enough. We tried to mark Emma
(Boggs) and Bailey (Calvelage)
right away but that takes our
girls away from the ball. We
don’t have enough offense for
that, so we end up being on our
heels defensively.”
The Lady Jays (4-2) dom-
inated the proceedings, out-
shooting the Wildcats (0-3-1)
33-2 (28-1 on-goal).
“We have been working
on some things, like our ball
possession, that got exposed
in our two losses (St. Marys
and Shawnee). It’s good to
see the girls applying what
we’re working on in practice
to matches,” St. John’s coach
John Munoz explained. “When
you control the ball as we did
today — and need to continue
doing — you can do a lot of
things: passing, through balls,
getting good scoring chances.”
That started from the onset
as the senior Calvelage had an
8-yard try just 53 ticks into the
match go wide left.
The Blue and Gold got
on the board at 36:08 when
Calvelage got control outside
the right post, knocking in her
16-yarder past Jefferson junior
keeper Cassidy Bevington (14
saves) for a 1-0 edge.
That was only the begin-
ning.
on the left to Calvelage in the
middle from the same spot.
The Jays closed out the
first-half scoring at 6:37 on a
“perfect penalty kick” on an
handball in the box — an assist
from senior keeper Samantha
Stant to classmate Alyssa
Berelsman that she tapped in
from six yards.
The Jays, substituting free-
ly throughout the contest, kept
up their possession game in the
second half.
It became 8-0 at 29:34 when
Grothouse found Calvelage for
a 10-yarder from right to left.
At 18:40, Jefferson junior
Hannah Kleman took a ball
to the face and had to leave
the game, reducing Drerup to
one sub.
“It’s going to sound like
a broken record but our lack
of numbers is a real struggle.
We were limited coming in
and lost two to injury,” Drerup
added. “These girls are giving
me everything they have and
they are not quitting. At this
point, as a coach, all you can
ask is that they give their best
effort and they are.”
The Lady ’Cats had their
only real chance to dent the

the ball was in front of their

is yielding 10.5 points per, will
also have to remain its stingy
self. Chris Pohlman (11 solos,
9 assists) holds down the mid-
dle, with lots of help from Kyle
Neumeier (10 and 8), Dylan
Dancer (5 and 5; 3 fumble
recoveries), Derek Klaus (6
and 3) and A.J. Klausing (5
and 4)
“So far, Minster has been
spreading it out more than in the
past. They use a tight end but
have basically a 1-back offen-
sive set,” Schulte explained. “It
all revolves around quarterback
Chase Paxson; he has an accu-
rate and good arm and they
have shown a lot more balance.
Defensively, they play that base
4-3 and will bring an outside
linebacker up over the tight end.
Whatever they play on either
side of the ball, we are expecting
a typical MAC-caliber physical
contest; they are going to come
after us hard.
“We’re used to going
against the 4-3; our offense has
seen it all two-a-days, so we
should be fairly comfortable
against it. Also, against a team
that is struggling, we’d like to
get off to a good start and get
up on them. That might take
the wind out of their sails. We
want to get better with our
double-teams. Defensively, we
character. We want to make
ourselves accountable to each
other, whether in the weight
room, at practice or on the
field. The final thing is to get
them to believe in themselves.
That’s the difference between
a team like us and those at the
top; they go in believing they
can win instead of hoping.”
Paxson, previously the
defensive leader at safety, has
become an offensive leader
as well at quarterback, taking
over after an injury there. As
well, Adam Kaiser has stepped
up as a running back and line-
backer.
“St. John’s is one of those
measuring sticks we have in
our league; they are now where
we want to get to. They are a
great football team,” Moore
added. “They are well-coached
all around and they don’t beat
themselves. What they do is
play physical, sound, funda-
mental football. When you
make a mistake, they capital-
ize.
“At this point, we’re more
concerned about controlling
the things we can. We want
to eliminate our mistakes and
make them beat us. If we can
do that, eventually the wins
will take care of themselves.”
Kickoff tonight is 7:30

Lady Green battles by Jeffcats
By FRANK GERMAN
The Delphos Herald
fjohngerman@gmail.com
DELPHOS — Ottoville
came to Jefferson High School
Thursday night and grabbed a
win from the Lady Wildcats
in four very competitive sets:
28-26, 23-25, 25-19, 25-21.
The first set was the biggest
squeaker of all four. Jefferson
started out in a good position
going on a 4-point run out of
the gate. They kept the Lady
Big Green at bay in a close
battle, taking a lead of 14-12
and extending it to 19-12.
Ottoville then started to slow-
ly chip away at Jefferson’s
lead. Ottoville used a 7-1 run
to pull them within a point
at 20-19. Ottoville tied it up
at 22. Jefferson kept the lead
until Ottoville retied them at
26. Julie Schmersal had an
ace to put them up 27-26 and
then Megan Bendele (21/21
serving, 6 aces; 3 solo blocks)
stuffed a Jefferson spike
attempt on set point to put
the first in the Lady Green’s
favor.
“They were serving
the ball really well and we
had some trouble handling
them. (Seniors) Bridget Culp
(15 kills; 4 solo blocks; 5
assisted blocks) and Kristin
Klausing; if we can just keep
them hitting and setting we
will be doing good things this
year,” Jefferson coach April
Merschman relayed. “(Senior)
Morgan Fischbach (6 kills; 1
ace) also stepped up for us
tonight, really producing. The
girls did a good job tonight
but so did Ottoville and it was
just a hard-fought match.”
The next set, Ottoville
started on top 2-0 before
Jefferson hit the board.
Ottoville kept its lead until
Jefferson was able to tie it
up at eight apiece. Jefferson
Saints grind out 14-9 win over Vikings in opener
By BRETT MARTEL
The Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS — The
New Orleans Saints opened
their title defense by winning
with defense.
Jonathan Vilma intercept-
ed Brett Favre and the Saints
allowed the Minnesota Vikings
only two first downs and no
points in the second half of a
hard-fought 14-9 victory in the
NFL’s regular season opener
on Thursday night.
How unusual was that kind
of result for New Orleans?
In Sean Payton’s first four
seasons as head coach, the
Saints led the NFL in offense
three times and never won when
scoring fewer than 19 points.
With Favre being held to 171
yards passing, Vikings relied
heavily on Adrian Peterson,
Verdasco loses, then picks a winner: It’s Roger
By EDDIE PELLS
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Most signs
point toward Rafa vs. Roger in
the U.S. Open final. If that does
come to pass, Fernando Verdasco
knows who he’d pick.
After losing in straight sets
to No. 1 Rafael Nadal on yet
another semi-miserable, wind-
blown night in Arthur Ashe
Stadium on Thursday, Verdasco
walked away more impressed
by the conditions — and by
Roger Federer — than anything
Nadal did.
“If I had to bet, I’d bet for
Roger,” Verdasco explained.
“He likes it here, he’s won five
times here and he likes these
conditions.”
Nadal wasn’t so bad in them
either, overcoming his first
dropped service game of the
tournament to scrub out eighth-
seeded Verdasco 7-5, 6-3, 6-4 in
the first all-Spanish quarterfinal
in U.S. Open history.

Pierre Thomas added a 1-yard
TD early in the second half to
put the Saints up for good.
This latest meeting of the
Vikings and Saints was far dif-
ferent from the turnover-filled,
back-and-forth overtime thriller
that the Saints pulled out 31-28
for the NFC title last January.
There wasn’t nearly as
much at stake this time, and
while the game was competi-
tive, the energy on the field and
yet to lose a single set in five
matches at Flushing Meadows.
Like Federer, Nadal handles
bad conditions like a real pro.
In advancing to his third
straight U.S. Open semifinal,
Nadal improved to 11-0 lifetime
against Verdasco — victories
scored around the world, on
almost every kind of surface and
in almost every kind of weather.
But when it was over, Verdasco
sounded less overwhelmed by
his opponent than depressed that
he didn’t get Nadal on a better
night: “For the game I need to
beat Rafa, these conditions was
very bad for me.”
Meanwhile, told of
Verdasco’s early handicapping,
Nadal took no offense.
“Well, for sure Roger is
the favorite of the tournament,
especially because he’s won
five times,” Nadal said. “And
six finals in a row. No one
doubts on that one. And I am in

Matt Cain took a 3-hitter into the

Cain (11-10) allowed David

tired from a day filled with fes-

and the unfurling of the 2009

ner before kickoff.
The only turnover of the
game came on Favre’s inter-
ception — the result of a ball
thrown under duress on Roman
Harper’s safety blitz.
Also unlike their previous
meeting, the Saints owned most
of the statistical advantages,
outgaining Minnesota 308

New Orleans might have

ATLANTA — Colby Rasmus hit
a pair of homers, Albert Pujols and
Skip Schumaker also connected
and Adam Wainwright bounced
back from a shaky first inning to
lead the Cardinals to the win.
The Braves jumped ahead 3-0
in the first inning. But the Cardinals
rocked Jair Jurrjens (7-5) for five
runs in the second — capped by
Schumaker’s 2-out, 2-run drive —
and Atlanta took its sixth loss in
eight games.
Rasmus went 4-for-4 and drove
in four runs, matching his career
high in both categories.
Wainwright (18-10) gave up
three runs and seven hits in eight
innings.

DENVER — Chris Nelson stole
home in the eighth inning to send
the Rockies to the 4-game series
sweep and their season-best sev-

With one out and runners on
the corners, Nelson broke for
home before Nick Masset (3-4)
threw his first pitch to Miguel Olivo.
Inexplicably, Masset stepped
off the mound, whirled to his left
and toward second base. Nelson

The third set The Big Green
took the lead and Jefferson
tied it up at 1-1. After being
tied At 6-6, Ottoville started
to pull away. The Big Green
widened the lead by seven
— 19-12 — before Jefferson
started a comeback that fell
short. The closest Jefferson
was able to get in that set
was within three, 20-17. The
final point in the set came on
a kill from Ottoville’s Tonya
Kaufman (15/16 serving, 4
aces) to put the Green and
Gold up 2-1.
Set 4 was a see-saw bat-
tle but Jefferson seemed to
get control with a 14-9 lead.
Ottoville again fought back,
tying it up at 15, and both
teams went back and forth.
They tied each other five
different times until the Big
Green pulled away and Tasha
Kaufman (47/57 attacks, 17
kills) got the block for the
final point of the night.
The Lady Wildcats
received four kills from
senior Amanda Hamilton as
they fell to 3-1 and will host

contest.
“We are not quite where
we need to be yet but we are
getting there; the goal is to
have it all down by tourna-
ment time. Both sides had a
good game,” Jones added.
Jamie Rieger (10 digs),
Gayle Rayman (40/47 attacks,
15 kills), Abby Siefker (10
blocks, 4 solos) and Bridget

helped Ottoville improve to

to kneel on the ball to run out
most of the last two minutes
after Thomas capped a 71-yard
performance with a 10-yard,
first-down run right after the
2-minute warning.
The 40-year-old Favre, who
decided to return for a 20th
season after an ankle operation,
looked out of synch or inac-
curate at times. The fact that
Minnesota was without star
receiver Sidney Rice may have
had something to do with that.
Favre’s best sequence came
on Minnesota’s only touch-
down drive late in the first
half, when he found Vinsanthe
Shiancoe on precision down-
the-middle completions of 33
and 20 yards, the second for the
Vikings’ only TD.
That gave Minnesota a 9-7
halftime lead.

top-seeded Caroline Wozniacki
against No. 7 Vera Zvonareva.
Nadal was the fourth and
final man to punch his ticket
to the semifinals and he used a
couple of memorable shots to
get there.
There was a great get in the
back corner he made on what
should’ve been an easy kill shot
at the net by Verdasco — a shot
so good it left Nadal offering a
friendly wave toward his oppo-
nent, as if to apologize.
And then there was the trick
shot. Running toward the net
to chase a softly hit ball being
blown around by the wind,
Nadal hit a spinning, no-look,
half-volley. Highlight-reel
material, though Nadal insisted
it was no big deal.
All good things must end
eventually, of course, and Nadal
finally lost a service game
against Verdasco, dropping the
third game of the first set to
snap a 62-for-62 string of holds
in the tournament.

Tulowitzki’s tying leadoff drive in the

sixth inning and the Astros rallied to
get the victory.
Johnson, who struck out in his
first two at-bats, drove a full-count
pitch from Ted Lilly (8-10) to the
train tracks in left field for his eight
homer, erasing a 2-run deficit.
Hunter Pence singled to extend

Jefferson gridders facing
different Pirate offense
By JIM METCALFE
The Delphos Herald
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com
Jefferson gridiron coach
Bub Lindeman will need
to have his defense on its
toes tonight as the Wildcats
invade Bluffton
for a Northwest
Conference tussle.
You see, the Pirate
offense has been a
spread-it-out style
the last several sea-
sons but according to
Lindeman, they are
undergoing an iden-
FOOTBALL
tity crisis.
“At times, they
PREVIEW
run their usual spread
offense and then turn around
and try to pound it at you.
We have seen two quarter-
backs: Levi
Gleason in
week 1 (a
loss to Cory-
Rawson)
and Hunter
Joseph in
week 2 (a
win over
Carey),
w h e n
Gleason
Gossman
didn’t play,”
Lindeman explained. “Right
now, it looks as if it’s run-first
and then mix in the spread.
Gudakunst is a nice tailback;
he isn’t a between-the-tackles
runner but is quick and likes
to get outside. When they
throw, R.J. Stratton is a ter-
rific wide receiver; he caught
three touchdowns last week.
We have drilled it into our
secondary’s head all week to
know where No. 84 is all the
time.”
“Defensively, they run the
4-4 cover 3 that we have seen
from them for years.”
Jefferson’s offense averag-
es 17.5 points per outing, with
Mitchell Antalis (31 rushes,
107 yards, 1 TD), Curtis
Miller (26 for 97, 1), Jesse
Cano (20-of-25 passing, 250
yards, 3 TDs, 0 picks), Logan
Bonifas (8 grabs, 102 yards,
2 scores), Jacob Leach (5 for
31) and Kody Richardson (4
for 47, 1 TD scored last week)
and Trenton Gossman (2 pan-
cake blocks).
The defense, ceding 21.5
points per, looks to Miller
(13 solo stops, 4 assists),
Justin Rode (10 and 4, 2 for
loss), Jordan Vorst (9 and 3),
Quinten Wessell (7 and 5),
Zac Lumpkins (8 and 3) and
Shayn Klinger (7 and 4).
“It is going to be a broken
record every week but every
opponent we play is bigger
than us; their front 5 or 6 is
bigger than our down 5 or 6.
Our success on either side of
the ball is determined by how
physical we can be and how
we can match the other team
in that area,” Lindeman con-
tinued. “No doubt we want to
run the ball and our offensive
line is showing a lot of prog-
ress: Coach (Jeff) Stant and
Coach (Brandon) Behnfeldt
have done a great job with
those guys.”
In particular, Lindeman felt
that group took a major step in

The Herald — 7
last week’s 28-8 triumph over
Paulding to commence NWC
play.
“From the beginning of
two-a-days, we knew how
fast our offensive line could
come along was going to be
the key to our season. They
are coming along
pretty quickly when
you consider we have
five new starters up
there,” Lindeman
added. “I thought they
did a great job against
what I felt was a pret-
ty physical and big-
ger Paulding team.
Jesse has been great
at quarterback in his
first year as a starter.
For us to completely dominate
the ball — we had 66 plays
offensively to 25 for them —
is unheard
of in high
school foot-
ball these
days. The
only real
area of con-
cern right
now is our
tendency to
put the ball
on the turf;
Vorst
we have
worked hard at ball security
this week.
“Defensively, we knew we
could bank on our defense
from the beginning of camp.
We’ve played well there, even
in week 1. They say the best
defense is a good offense; if
we can keep up that kind of
ball control, we’ll take it.”
For long-time Bluffton
coach Dennis Lee, it has been
his defense that has been a
source of woes despite their
31-28 defeat of Carey.
“We didn’t play well there
in our week 1 loss, especial-
ly our secondary. We have
some very good athletes back
there but they missed some
tackles and made some poor
decisions, giving up some big
plays,” Lee acknowledged.
“We played better last week
but we’re still not where we’d
like to be or where we’re
used to being. Offensively,
we’ve been solid both games.
Because our offensive line
playing so well, we’ve been
able to be more balanced
between run and pass. We’re
running the same stuff we’ve
been for the last several
seasons; we’re executing it
well.”
Veteran linemen Ben
Moser, Zane Maize and Logan
Sturgill have been leading
the way on both sides of the
football, along with Stratton
outside.
“What I see with Jefferson
is their ability to run the ball
first but they throw efficient-
ly. Their defense is always
pretty tough and remains
so,” Lee added. “We have
to be prepared defensively to
not only stop the run but be
ready for their passing game.
Offensively, we just want to
continue our consistent play
and be able to both run and
pass when we want to.”

Alveda King causes anger and joy at Beck rally

Fox News star Glenn Beck staged the show
at the Lincoln Memorial, and then fired up his
flock by claiming, “Something that is beyond
man is happening. America today begins to
turn back to God.”
Mama Grizzly Sarah Palin almost stole the
show with a political shot at President Barack
Obama, telling her fans, “You too know that
we must not fundamentally transform America
as some would want. We must restore America
and restore her honor!”
But there was only one African-American
preacher present whose last name was spelled
K-I-N-G. There was only one orator who could
infuriate pundits simply by standing with Beck
on the 47th anniversary of her martyred uncle’s
“I Have a Dream” speech.
Tears of rage? Tears of joy? The Rev. Alve-
da King knew she would cause both by linking
the Rev. Martin Luther King’s classic cadenc-
es with the religious and cultural issues that
loomed over what Beck insisted was a nonpo-
litical rally. Once a Democrat in the Georgia
Legislature, the evangelical minister now leads
African-American outreach programs for the
Catholic group Priests For Life.
First, she reminded listeners that her “Uncle
Martin” had compared America’s promise of
equal protection to a check marked “insuf-
ficient funds.” But when, she asked, will “we
TERRY MATTINGLY
On
Religion
know that the check Uncle Martin spoke of is
good?”
“We will know when prayer is once again
welcome in the public squares of America and
in our schools. We will know when our chil-
dren are no longer in mortal peril on our streets
and in our classrooms, and in the wombs of our
mothers,” she said.
“We will know when righteousness rolls
down like waters, and justice like a mighty
stream. Yes, I too have a dream ... that Amer-
ica will repent of the sin of racism and return
to honor. I have a dream that white privilege
will become human privilege and that people
of every ethnic blend will receive everyone as
brothers and sisters in the Love of God. I have
a dream that America will pray, and God will
forgive us our sins and revive our land.”
Critics were not kind.
Chatting with MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann,
columnist Eugene Robinson of the Washington
Post dismissed Alveda King as a “convenient
figurehead or puppet. ... She’s a fundamental-
ist, very conservative Christian.
... She’s estranged from the rest of the King
family, and from the keepers of his legacy.”
In a Washington Post essay before the rally,
Martin Luther King III anticipated the coming
efforts to embrace the causes now identified
with the first family of civil rights. His father’s
dream, he stressed, “rejected hateful rhetoric
and all forms of bigotry or discrimination,
whether directed at race, faith, nationality, sex-
ual orientation or political beliefs. ... Through-
out his life he advocated compassion for the
poor, nonviolence, respect for the dignity of all
people and peace for humanity.”
For Alveda King, these debates are signs
of painful divisions -- many of them theologi-
cal -- inside the civil rights movement, black
churches and the extended King family. While
the late Coretta Scott King supported abortion
rights and gay rights, other members of the
family have fiercely questioned whether the
views of her husband would have evolved in
that direction.
One debate, for example, focuses on the
significance of the decision by the Rev. Martin
Luther King Jr., to accept the Margaret Sanger
Award from Planned Parenthood in 1966. Al-
veda King and other opponents of abortion
note that this was six years before Roe v. Wade
and only three years after a Planned Parent-
hood pamphlet warned that, “An abortion kills
the life of a baby after it has begun.”
America’s ongoing battles over abortion, in-
sisted Alveda King, are one of many symptoms
that her uncle’s work remains unfinished.
“Our material gains seem to be going the
way of our moral losses,” she said, in her Aug.
28 sermon. “We are still suffering from the
great evil divide of racism. Our children are
suffering in failing school systems. Our sons
and daughters are being incarcerated at astro-
nomical rates. Sickness, disease and poverty
of the spirit, soul and body are plaguing our
communities. The procreative foundation of
marriage is being threatened, and the wombs
of our mothers have become places where the
blood of our children is shed in a ‘womb war’
that threatens the fabric of our society. ...
“Yet, we are not without hope. Faith, hope
and love are not dead in America. Hallelujah.”

Center at the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities

American Idol runner-up finds out music videos rebound on Web
her files were checked in Ohio
COLUMBUS (AP) —
More than a half-dozen pub-
lic employees snooped in
confidential state records
for personal information on
“American Idol” runner-up
Crystal Bowersox, officials
said Thursday.
Two workers were ousted
after the breaches were discov-
ered, including a star-struck
licensing bureau employee
who has pleaded not guilty to
a felony charge. The charg-
es were first reported early
Thursday by The Columbus
Dispatch.
The bluesy Bowersox, who
grew up in Elliston in north-
west Ohio, said the snooping
made her feel violated.
“Part of this whole
’American Idol’ thing and
being thrown into a spotlight,
people are going to get curi-
ous,” Bowersox told The
Blade of Toledo. “But I don’t
Britney Spears denies bodyguard harassment claims
LOS ANGELES (AP) —
Britney Spears denied a body-
guard’s accusations that she sex-
ually harassed him and abused
her children, saying Thursday
in a statement on her web site
that authorities looked into his
claims but found no reason to
act.
The statement said the pop
singer and her attorney expect
Fernando Flores’ sexual harass-
ment and intentional infliction
of emotional distress lawsuit to
be dismissed.
“This lawsuit is another
unfortunate situation where

and found that files on her
had been improperly accessed
eight times, dating to early in
the television season, patrol
spokesman Lt. Gary Lewis told
The Associated Press.
The searches had been done
by workers at locations around
Ohio, including law enforce-
ment agencies, a hospital, a
court and the state Bureau of
Motor Vehicles headquarters.
Most of the people who
improperly checked on the
singer were temporarily sus-

statement read. “The Department

conducted a proper investigation
surrounding Mr. Flores’ accusa-

without further action.”
Spears did not say when the
investigation was conducted and
the department doesn’t release
details of its inquiries.
Flores claimed in his lawsuit
that Spears repeatedly exposed
herself to him and made other
unwanted sexual advances. He
also claimed she used his belt to
discipline her young sons, Sean

Jay Wright, a 47-year-old

curiosity got the better of him.
“I saw she was indeed from

The Associated Press
NEW YORK — It wasn’t
long ago that the music video
was on life support.
MTV — which will hold
its 27th annual Video Music
Awards on Sunday — phased
out videos in favor of reality
programming and other shows
that attracted better ratings.
At the same time, the music
industry was collapsing and
slashed budgets no longer had
room for elaborate clips.
But recently, the music
video has had a revival.
Watching music videos has
become a central aspect of
Internet usage. Music blogs
and social media have greased
the channels, facilitating
the quick, easy spreading
of videos, especially those
with arresting or controver-
sial visuals. People even buy
clips on iTunes.
Lady Gaga and Beyonce
go on a scantily clad murder-
ous rampage with the nearly
10-minute “Telephone”;
MGMT wanders through the
desert with a digitally created
creature in “Congratulations”;
Erykah Badu strips while
strolling the path of President
John Kennedy’s assassina-
tion in “Window Seat”; MIA
depicts a war on terror against
redheads in “Born Free.”
All of these videos explod-
ed on the Internet and became
water-cooler moments. Cee
Lo’s recent and unprint-
able hit (titled “Forget You”
for radio) went viral with a
video of only its lyrics. And

The Herald — 9
enormous. Shakira, who last
year debuted a music video on
Facebook, was “blown away”
when her video for the offi-
cial song of the World Cup,
“Waka Waka (This One’s for
Africa)” — a colorful mix
of dancing and soccer star
cameos — was nearing 100
million views on YouTube.
“It can take on a life of its
own online,” says Shakira.
“And it inspires us artists to
be even more creative. With
access to so many videos, we
need to challenge ourselves
to surprise our fans.”
The video, which was dis-
tributed by the music video
and live music website Vevo,
has gone on to be watched
by more than 173 million
people, good enough for the
fourth most-viewed video
ever on YouTube.
In fact, four of the five
most-viewed clips on
YouTube are music videos
released in the last year.
(Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga
top the charts.) Though that’s
partly because Vevo (which
shares a small percentage
of advertising revenue with
YouTube) tabulates view
counts across platforms, it’s
still a striking example of the
music video’s dramatic come-
back. It’s a long way beyond
the novelty videos of OK
Go that followed YouTube’s
debut in 2005.
“If it wasn’t for YouTube,
the online video space would
not be where it is today,” says
David Kohl, executive vice
president of sales and custom-
er operations at the Sony and
Universal co-owned Vevo.

Close watch on wildfire as winds kick up

By DAN ELLIOTT and P.
SOLOMON BANDA
The Associated Press
BOULDER, Colo. — Weary firefighters hoped
the worst was over from a wildfire that destroyed
nearly 170 homes in the Rocky Mountains foot-
hills, but crews monitored were monitoring hot
spots early today amid concerns that erratic winds
could fan the flames and send them into Boulder.
Fearing further devastation, city officials had
urged roughly 9,000 residents Thursday after-
noon to prepare to evacuate at a moment’s notice
because of conditions that were ripe for fire — low
humidity and strong winds. But as night fell, fed-
eral officials downplayed the risk to the university
city of 100,000, even as gusts surpassed 40 mph.
“I’m not aware of any real threat to the city of
Boulder right now,” said Jim Thomas, head of the
national team managing the fire effort.
Boulder police dispatchers said early today that
there had been no evacuations in the city so far.
Firefighters expressed concern that strong over-
night winds could fan the flames, but an official
said today morning that that didn’t develop.
“We did not have the winds,” said Laura
McConnell, public information officer for Boulder
incident management team.
“We weren’t seeing as much activity. In area
that was dark, we didn’t see flames take off.”
She said about 800 firefighters from 20 states
were battling the blaze.
Crews contained 45 percent of the 10-square-
mile fire, though the line wasn’t continuous.
Thomas declined to speculate when it would be
fully contained.
The blaze, dubbed the Fourmile Canyon fire,
erupted Monday and quickly left smoking rubble
where mountain neighborhoods, filled with mil-
lion-dollar homes and scenic mountain cabins,
once stood. Slopes of charred trees created land-
scapes resembling a barren winter with gray ash
instead of snow.
Still, no more homes were lost to the fire
Thursday. Thomas said there were no major signs
of crowning, when hungry flames race along the
crowns of trees or shrubbery.
Westerly winds of 25 mph with higher gusts
forecast for today could complicate the efforts of
the hundredsd of firefighters plus support person-
nel and air tanker crews. Heavy air tankers have
trouble accurately dropping their loads of dull red
retardant when winds surpass 35 mph, Thomas
said.
Parts of central and northern Colorado and
southern Wyoming remained under a red flag warn-
ing today, meaning conditions were ripe for fire.
And in an abundance of caution, Thomas refused
to rule out further trouble west of Boulder.
“There’s always that risk with a major fire,”
he said. “We’ve seen a fire move eight miles in
a day.”
The cause of one of the fire that destroyed
more homes than any other blaze in Colorado
history remained under investigation. Authorities
were looking at whether a vehicle crashed into a
propane tank and set it off.
About 3,500 people have been out of their
homes since Monday, many frustrated by a lack
of lack of information about what was happening
behind fire lines. Some got around roadblocks by
hiking and biking in. A limited number stayed.
Lee McCormack made it to his house Thursday
but was stopped at a roadblock on a second
attempt.
“It’s shut down. It doesn’t matter how much
you plead,” McCormack. “I gave the cop a Power
Bar and he still wouldn’t let me up there.”
The city of Boulder told west-side residents to
prepare to leave if the fire moved into town, setting
off a scramble by some. From tony mansions to
the north to a college sprawl west of the University
of Colorado to the south, some residents watered
lawns or packed cars with possessions. Others
assembled on a smoky mountain overlook after
dark, waiting to see if the distant fire glow seen
earlier in the week would reappear. It didn’t.
Caitlin Kolibas, 22, a college senior who lives
in the University Hill neighborhood, said her par-
ents in New Jersey were “trying to get me a little
more concerned.” But the university held classes
as usual.
Boulder resident Lisa Carmichael loaded her
pickup with a precious keepsake: Her grandfa-
ther’s rocking chair.
“I lived through the Malibu fire, where the
fire jumped over the Pacific Coast Highway and
burned houses on the sand,” Carmichael said. “So
I know that with this wind, if the fire department
says to take it seriously, you should take it seri-
ously.”
The loss of homes surpassed that of the
2002 Hayman fire in southern Colorado, which
destroyed 133 homes and 466 outbuildings.
Nationwide, about 2.6 million acres have
burned this summer, about 50 percent less than
the 10-year average, according to the National
Interagency Fire Center in Boise, Idaho.

1 dead, 53 homes destroyed in fire

By TREVOR HUNNICUTT
The Associated Press
SAN BRUNO, Calif. — Fire crews flooded the
ruins of burning homes with water early today after
a massive explosion sent flames roaring through a
neighborhood in the hills south of San Francisco,
killing at least one person, injuring many others
and destroying more than 50 houses.
Thursday night’s explosion was heard for
miles and shot a fireball more than 1,000 feet in
the air and sent frightened residents fleeing for
safety and rushing to get belongings out of burn-
ing homes, witnesses said.
Utility officials said a gas line ruptured in
the vicinity of the blast, which left a giant crater
and sent flames tearing across several suburban
blocks in San Bruno just after 6 p.m.
At least one person was confirmed dead, San
Bruno Fire Chief Dennis Haag said. At least 20
others were injured, some with critical burns.
Authorities said there could be other casual-
ties but the fire and darkness blocked them from
checking.
“It’s going to take us until at least until tomor-
row into the afternoon to do a full search,” Haag
said late Thursday.
Resident Connie Bushman returned home
to find her block was on fire. She said she ran
into her house looking for her 80-year-old father
but could not find him. A firefighter told her he
had left, but she had not been able to track him
down.
“I don’t know where my father is, I don’t
know where my husband is, I don’t know where
to go,” Bushman said.
After the initial blast, flames reached as high
as 100 feet as the fire fueled itself on burning
homes, leaving some in total ruins and reducing
parked automobiles to burned out hulks. At least
120 homes also suffered serious damage.
The fire had spread to 10 acres and was
50 percent contained late Thursday, said Jay
Allen, spokesman for the California Emergency
Management Agency.
California Lieutenant Governor Abel
Maldonado, acting governor while Gov. Arnold
Schwarzenegger was in Asia on a trade mission,
declared a state of emergency in San Mateo
County.
“It was like a bomb went off,” Maldonado told
CNN from the scene early today.
He said the cause of the conflagration was still
unclear.
“We don’t know what happened. I don’t know
what happened. Tomorrow morning we’ll find
out,” he said.
Crews with search dogs will go through whole
area, he said. “We’ll try to find folks if there are
folks in their homes.”
Pacific Gas and Electric Co. said in an e-mailed
statement that “if it is ultimately determined that
we were responsible for the cause of the incident, Photos submitted
we will take accountability.”
But later Thursday the company’s president, Rolling Thunder donates to veterans food pantry
Christopher Johns, said he didn’t know what
sparked the explosion. Rolling Thunder, Inc. Ohio Chapter 6 raised $839 for the Allen County Veterans
“I don’t have any details about if there was any Food Pantry by holding a chicken dinner/corn hole tournament at the Delphos Eagles
work going on, Johns told KTVU-TV. “That will in July. Above: Presenting the check to Mary Huffer, center, of the Veterans Food
