DELPHOS — A record 400 peo-
ple attended the 5th annual “Toast
to the City” sponsored by the Canal
Days Committee Thursday.
Those gathered were offered food
samplings from local restaurants
and beverages as they enjoyed a
presentation by the Gallmeier fam-
ily on the Chew Chew Restaurant,
a local teen hang-out in the 1950s
and 60s with “Elvis” and “Marilyn
Monroe” on-hand to entertain.
Canal Days Coordinator Diane
Sterling was pleased with this
year’s event.
“This is the biggest crowd
we’ve had yet and we had to turn
away nearly 100 who also wanted
to attend,” Sterling said. “It gets
bigger every year but I think we
are at our max as far as how many
we can hold. We’d have to add
another tent to allow for more
people.”
The “Toast” honors the city
as well as the Delphos Canal
Commission for continued efforts
to highlight the Miami-Erie Canal
and the city’s history tied to it.

Israeli troops kill Hamas Koreas
differ on
militant in West Bank fate of split
By MATTI FRIEDMAN
The Associated Press
JERUSALEM — Israeli
troops killed a Hamas mili-
tant today during a raid in the
West Bank, where violence
has increased since a new
round of Mideast peace talks
began this month.
Hamas vowed to avenge
the death of Iyad Abu
Shilbaya, 37, who the Islamic
militant group said was a
local leader of its armed wing
in the northern West Bank
town of Tulkarm.
“The blood of our mar-
tyr will be a curse,” said
Hamas military spokesman
Abu Obeida. He blamed both
Israel and Hamas’ rivals, the
Western-backed Palestinian
Authority, for the killing.
The Islamic group vowed
to avenge the militant’s death.
Gunmen from Hamas, which
opposes the peace talks and
has threatened to use violence
to derail them, killed four
Israeli settlers in a Sept. 1
shooting just as the talks were
getting under way.
Israel’s military said sol-
diers were trying to arrest Abu
Shilbaya in Tulkarm when
he ran toward the soldiers,
ignoring orders to halt. The
military said troops feared he
had a weapon and shot him.
The man’s brother,
Mutasim Abu Shilbaya, said
troops burst into his broth-
er’s house around 3 a.m. and
killed him in his bedroom. A
France, Germany in spat
over illegal Gypsy camps
By MELISSA EDDY
The Associated Press
BERLIN — Germany
sought today to downplay a
diplomatic incident involv-
ing French President Nicolas
Sarkozy as the debate over his
campaign to clear out illegal
migrant camps reverberated
across the European Union.
Sarkozy’s attempts to
defend his nation’s policy
against international com-
plaints that France is being
racist and unfairly targeting
Gypsies threw a European
Union summit into an uproar
on Thursday.
Sarkozy then asserted
to reporters that Chancellor
Angela Merkel had told him
that Germany was on the verge
of similar action.
Merkel’s office was quick to
deny that she told Sarkozy any-

floor mat in the room and the
bed were stained with blood.
Israel’s military said Abu
Shilbaya was wanted for
“recent activity” but provided
no further details. A Hamas
statement said Abu Shilbaya
served several stints in Israeli
and Palestinian Authority
jails. It said he was respon-
sible for leading several mili-
tant attacks, but gave no other
information.
Following Abu Shilbaya’s
death, Israeli soldiers and
Palestinian Authority forces
on high alert set up separate
checkpoints on roads lead-
ing to Tulkarem, halting cars
and searching people’s docu-
ments.
Still, some 3,000 Hamas
loyalists gathered to march in
Abu Shilbaya’s funeral, wav-
ing the group’s green flag and
chanting “revenge, revenge!”
It was the largest — and
boldest — gathering of
Hamas supporters in the West
Bank in three years. Hamas
seized power in the Gaza
Strip in 2007, pushing out
loyalists of the Palestinian
Authority, headed by
President Mahmoud Abbas.
Following the Gaza takeover,
Abbas’ Palestinian Authority
consolidated its rule in the
West Bank, although Israel
retains overall security in the
West Bank through its mili-
tary occupation.
Though the Palestinian
Authority and Israel share
Hamas as a common enemy
thing of the kind, but refused to
be drawn on what the chancel-
lor thought of the situation or
what might have been behind
Sarkozy’s comments.
In recent weeks, French
authorities have cleared
out some 100 illegal immi-
grant camps, most inhabited
by Gypsies — also known as
Roma, a nomadic ethnic group
believed to have roots in the
Indian subcontinent.
Many have been deported
to Romania, which joined the
EU three years ago and has
a sizable Roma population.
Roma, like other EU citizens,
are allowed to travel freely
within the EU’s open borders
but all EU citizens must get
work or residency papers to
reside in a separate country.
Speaking to reporters after
Thursday’s summit, Sarkozy
said “Madame Merkel indi-
cated to me her will to proceed
in the coming weeks with the
evacuation of camps.”
Merkel’s spokesman,
Steffen Seibert, flatly denied
the chancellor had made any
such remark, adding that the

and have cracked down
on the militant group, the
Palestinian prime minister,
Salam Fayyad, condemned
Abu Shilbaya’s killing.
“(It) increases the weak-
ness of the credibility of
the peace process, which is
already shaken,” Fayyad said
in a statement.
Israel says Palestinian
forces are still unable to
assume full control for secu-
rity.
Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu
and Palestinian President
Mahmoud Abbas held a sec-
ond round of peace talks this
week, accompanied by U.S.
Secretary of State Hillary
Rodham Clinton.
The talks face a major
obstacle at the end of the
month, when a slowdown in
Israeli settlement construc-
tion is set to expire. The
Palestinians say they will halt
the talks if settlement con-
struction resumes in full, and
the U.S. has urged Israel to
extend the slowdown.
There are signs the sides
might be close to a compro-
mise that would allow the
talks to continue, but the
leaders still need to reach
agreement on the thorniest
issues dividing them. Those
include the route of a bor-
der between Israel and a
future Palestinian state, the
fate of Palestinian refugees
and a formula for sharing
Jerusalem.
situation in Germany cannot be
compared to that in France.
“We do not have camps like
that,” Seibert said at a regularly
scheduled news conference. “It
was not a topic.”
Since the EU expanded its
borders to the east, hundreds
of thousands of Roma in the
bloc’s poorer nations have
taken advantage of the con-
tinent’s open borders to seek
better lives in the west, despite
facing equally desperate cir-
cumstances there.
There are up to 12 million
Roma in the EU, most living
in dire circumstances, victims
of poverty, discrimination, vio-
lence, unemployment and bad
housing.
Earlier this week, EU
Justice Commissioner Viviane
Reding sharply criticized
France’s deportations of Roma
and linked them to France’s
mass deportations of Jews dur-
ing World War II. She later
expressed regret over the war-
time comparison, but main-
tained her threat to take France
to court for targeting an ethnic
group in the expulsions.

Officers shoot
gunman on
Capitol Hill
WASHINGTON (AP) —
Authorities in Washington say
police shot a man who pointed
a gun at them on Capitol Hill.
U.S. Capitol Police
spokeswoman Sgt. Kimberly
Schneider says officers were
told around 5 a.m. today to be
on the lookout for a man with
a gun.
Officers later saw the man,
who pointed the gun at them.
Schneider says the officers
opened fire after the man
refused to drop his weapon
and that officers fired because
they were in “fear for their
lives.”
The man, whose name has
not been released, was brought
to a hospital. His condition is
not immediately known.
No other injuries were
reported.
Schneider says the
Metropolitan Police
Department is assisting with
the investigation.
families’
reunions
SEOUL, South Korea (AP)
— North and South Korea
agreed today to hold reunions
of families separated by their
war, but conflicting state-
ments from the rivals about
the details underscored the
difficulty of repairing rela-
tions on the peninsula.
The North’s official
Korean Central News Agency
reported that the reunions —
popular on both sides of the
border — would be held at
the North’s scenic Diamond
Mountain resort between Oct.
21 to 27.
South Korea was more
cautious in its statement,
saying that the two sides
“neared agreement” to hold
the reunions on those dates
but failed to decide on their
venue and scale, according to
the South’s Red Cross.
While disputes over the
details have never derailed
such reunions in the past, it
was unclear whether the two
sides would overcome their
disagreements. They agreed to
meet again on September 24.
South Korea wants the
meetings held in a reunion
center at the resort, from
which the North has blocked
the South since Seoul halted
tours there. The tours — one
of the few legitimate sourc-
es of hard currency for the
North’s impoverished regime
— were stopped in July 2008
after a South Korean tourist
was fatally shot after allegedly
entering a restricted military
area next to the resort.
“The North Korean del-
egates wouldn’t comment on
the viability of the reunion
center as a venue, saying
that unfreezing the Diamond
Mountain resort for the
South’s access is out of their
jurisdiction, requiring internal
discussions with the relevant
powers,” South Korean chief
delegate Kim Eyi-do told
reporters today after return-
ing from the talks at Kaesong,
across the border in North
Korea.

Lawyer: Holloway’s
mom confronted
suspect in jail
NEW YORK (AP) — The
attorney for the mother of
an Alabama teen who van-
ished in Aruba says his cli-
ent entered a Peruvian jail
and talked directly with the
Dutchman suspected in her
daughter’s disappearance.
In an interview today
on NBC’s “Today,” lawyer
John Q. Kelly said Natalee
Holloway’s mother Beth
Twitty entered the jail “without
violating any laws or breaking
any regulations” and spoke
with Joran van der Sloot. The
jailed man is charged with
killing a woman in Peru. NBC
said Twitty entered the jail
with a Dutch TV news crew.
Kelly said Twitty didn’t
expect to get answers about
Natalee’s disappearance, but
wanted Van der Sloot to know
“she hasn’t gone away, she’s
determined to get answers and
you know, she wants to bring
Natalee home.”

It’s true that more than

been lost since January 2007,
according to the Bureau of
Labor Statistics’ latest state
figures from July. And the
state’s unemployment rate is
10.3 percent, compared with
5.4 percent when Strickland’s

Expiring tax cuts hit
taxpayers at every level
By STEPHEN
OHLEMACHER
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Here’s
some pressure for lawmakers:
If they don’t reach agreement
on extending soon-to-expire
Bush-era tax cuts, nearly all
their constituents back home
will get big tax increases.
A typical family of four
with a household income of
$50,000 a year would have
to pay $2,900 more in taxes
in 2011, according to a new
analysis by Deloitte Tax
LLP, a tax consulting firm.
The same family making
$100,000 a year would see its
taxes rise by $4,500.
Wealthier families face
even bigger tax hikes. A fam-
ily of four making $500,000
a year would pay $10,800
more in taxes. The same fam-
ily making $1 million a year
would get a tax increase of
$53,200.
The estimates are based
on total household income,
including wages, capital gains
and qualified dividends. The
estimated tax bills take into
account typical deductions at
each income level.

Congress wants tough stance with China over trade
By MARTIN
CRUTSINGER
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — ers contend that the Chinese
a tougher stand with China
over trade practices that they
say have cost Americans mil-
Democrats and
Republicans on committees
in the Senate and House told
Treasury Secretary Timothy
Geithner on Thursday that
China is manipulating its
currency. They said that and
other practices have led to a
huge trade gap between the
two countries and job losses
in the United States.
Geithner said the admin-
istration was ready to work
with Congress on an effective
strategy. But he cautioned
that the government should
not take any action that would
wind up hurting U.S. compa-
nies and businesses by trig-
gering retaliation by China,
an important trading partner.
Members of the Senate
Banking Committee said they
were frustrated because the
administration failed to cite
China as a currency manip-
ulator in its latest report.
Instead, the White House took
the same position as previous
administrations in simply urg-
decade that tax cuts enact-
ed in 2001 and 2003 under
former President George W.
Bush provided a windfall for
the wealthy. That’s true, but
they also reduced taxes for
the working poor, the middle
class, and just about everyone
in between.
Those tax cuts expire at
the end of the year, setting
the stage for a high-stakes
debate just before congressio-
nal elections in November. If
Congress fails to act, families
at every income level will see
more taxes being withheld
from their paychecks come
January.
The tax cuts enacted in
2001 and 2003 reduced mar-
ginal income tax rates at every
level. They also provided a
wide range of income tax
breaks for education, fami-
lies with children and married
couples.
Taxes on capital gains
and dividends were reduced,
while the federal estate tax
was gradually repealed,
though only for this year.
President Barack Obama
wants to extend the tax cuts
for individuals making less
than $200,000 and joint filers
making less than $250,000 in
adjusted gross income. That’s
ahead over the summer —
a Quinnipiac University
poll released today showed
Portman leading by 20 per-
cent.
Early voting in the state
begins Sept. 28.
Fisher, who says the race
is still a tossup, repeatedly
brings up that Portman was
President George W. Bush’s
budget director and trade
ambassador, saying that the
pair’s policies on corporate
taxes and trade helped com-
panies ship Ohio jobs over-
seas and led to the economy’s
collapse.
“This election will be about
a choice between the past and
the future,” Fisher said in an
interview with The Associated
Press in early September.
“It will be a choice between
made in America and made
in China.”
Portman’s campaign coun-
ters that Ohio lost 400,000
jobs since 2006 while Fisher
served as the state’s economic
development director.
They also say that six
times as many Ohio jobs went
to other states compared with
jobs that went overseas dur-
ing those same three years
Fisher was in charge of job
creation.
“That’s why I’m running,”
Portman said during a factory
tour in northeast Ohio. “To
ing China to move faster to
allow its currency to rise in
value against the dollar.
American manufactur-
currency is undervalued by
as much as 40 percent. That
has given Chinese compa-
nies a tremendous competi-
tive advantage — making
U.S. products more expensive
in China and Chinese goods
cheaper in the United States.
Under a 1988 law, the
Treasury Department is
required to submit a currency
report to Congress every six
months and cite any country
that it finds is manipulating its
currency to gain trade advan-
tages.
A number of senators
complained that the Obama
administration, like previ-
ous administrations, failed to
identify China as a currency
manipulator.
“At a time when the U.S.
economy is trying to pick itself
up off the ground, China’s cur-
rency manipulation is like a
boot to the throat of our recov-
ery,” Sen. Charles Schumer,
D-N.Y., said. “This administra-
tion refuses to try and take that
boot off our neck.”
Committee Chairman
Christopher Dodd, D-Conn.,
and Sen. Richard Shelby of
Alabama, the top Republican
on the panel, both said they

income from wages, capital
gains and dividends, before
standard deductions and
exemptions are subtracted.
Republicans and a grow-
ing number of Democrats in
Congress want to extend all
the tax cuts, at least tempo-
rarily.
On Thursday, House
Republican Leader John
Boehner of Ohio said he
wants an up-or-down vote
on extending all the tax cuts
before congressional elec-
tions in November.
“Raising taxes on any-
one, especially small busi-
nesses, is the wrong thing to
do in a struggling economy,”
Boehner said. “On the issue
of job killing tax hikes the
American people are not
going to accept anything
less than the vote that they
deserve.”
House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi, D-Calif., wouldn’t
commit to vote on any tax
proposals before the election.
She did, however, pledge to
address them by the end of
the year.
“The only thing I can tell
you is that the tax cuts for the
middle class will be extended
this by Congress,” Pelosi told
reporters Thursday.
create a better environment
for companies to succeed.”
Ohio has been hurt more
than most other states by job
losses, and its unemployment
was 10.3 percent in July.
Portman, a fiscal conserva-
tive, favors lowering taxes for
small businesses, improving
worker retraining programs
and making them more afford-
able, and offering incentives
for companies that invest in
technology.
Fisher wants to add a tax
credit for companies that cre-
ate jobs in the United States
and eliminate tax breaks for
companies that move jobs
overseas.
He tries to define Portman
as a Washington insider and
never misses a chance to
remind voters that his oppo-
nent worked in the Bush
administration.
Portman, 54, dismisses the
comparisons and connections,
saying voters want to look
forward, not backward.
Both have been around
Ohio politics for decades, but
they’re not all that familiar to
voters.
Fisher, 59, has a long track
record as an Ohio lawmaker
and economic development
director. But his only state-
wide victory came 20 years
ago in an attorney general’s
race decided by 1,234 votes.
had grown frustrated listening
to a string of administrations
refuse to cite China as a cur-
rency manipulator.
“The American public
is tired of hearing about the
sophisticated nuances of inter-
national diplomacy,” Shelby
said. “They want the adminis-
tration to fulfill its promise of
balanced international trade.”
Geithner said the admin-
istration was willing to work
with Congress to toughen
the law. But he stopped short
of endorsing two bills in the
House and Senate that would
give the administration more
power to sanction China on
the currency issue.
Supporters are pushing for
a vote before the November
elections on a House bill
sponsored by 143 members.
The legislation would expand
the definition of illegal gov-
ernment subsidies to include
government currency manip-
ulation. That would open the
door to U.S. trade sanctions
against Chinese products.
Geithner said the adminis-
tration was taking a “careful
look” at the House bill. It
wanted to determine wheth-
er it was consistent with
America’s WTO obligations
and whether it would produce
the desired results of pushing
China to stop undervaluing its
currency.

St. John’s soccer Redskins scalp volleyball Jays
upends Pirates

CONTINENTAL — St.
John’s scored early in the
second half and its defense
made it stand up as the Lady
Blue Jay soccer team downed
nemesis
Continental
2-1 on a gusty
Thursday
afternoon in
Continental.
“This is
a huge win
for us. It’s a
pleasure for
us to play
Continental
Stant
because you
know you’re going to get an
honest game; they are never
going to quit and they are
always going to be skilled,”
St. John’s coach John Munoz
asserted. “Like last year, they
beat us at our place 6-0 but it
was a learning game for us.
We beat them in the tourna-
ment but they are always a
tough game for us. You find
out about your team when you
play them.”
Continental coach Toby
Bidlack was equally impressed
with St. John’s.
“Give them credit for tak-
ing it to us. They had the
spark from the start we did not
and they were the aggressors,”
he explained. “They won the
50/50s, the crosses, every-
thing. They are a very potent
team; from 25 yards and in,
they have a lot of players that
will take the shot. They kept
up the pressure on us.”
Tied at 1-1 entering the
second 40 minutes, the host
Pirates (5-2-1) had the first
crack at breaking the deadlock
as senior Stephanie Coble
launched a 16-yarder at 38:14
but Blue Jay senior keeper
Samantha Stant (10 saves ver-
sus 14 shots) came up with
the orb.
The Jays took the lead for
good at 35:49. When the hosts
failed to clear the ball out
in front of their goal, visit-
ing senior Myriah Jackson got
a running start and lasered
a 20-yarder from the circle
and high past sophomore net-
minder Leva Weller (11 saves
vs. 20 shots) for a 2-1 edge.
The Jays (7-2) continued
to press the attack and had
chances to add an insurance
tally.
However, either Weller
was up to the task of the Blue
Jays barely missed on their
shots.
Their best chance came at
the 20:24 mark when senior
Emma Boggs fired from out-
side the right post at the top
of the box and barely missed
wide to that side.
Senior Becca Saine in par-
ticular had some great looks
but three times in the second
half: 29:59, 27:21 and 13:55;
her curling shots just missed
wide to the right.

CINCINNATI — The NL
Central leaders left town with
one intention — bring back
a title.
The Cincinnati Reds’ play-
off push slowed a bit Thursday,
when Rodrigo Lopez
held their league-
leading offense in
check for seven
innings of Arizona’s
3-1 victory. The Reds
hit the road with a
comfortable lead and a chance
to clinch a playoff spot during
their 8-game trip to Houston,
Milwaukee and San Diego.
The Reds went 4-3 on a
homestand against the league’s
two worst clubs — Pittsburgh
and Arizona — to move them-
selves a few wins away from
their first playoff appearance
since 1995.
“We’re getting close,” said
Edinson Volquez (3-3), who is
trying to be part of the playoff
rotation. “We don’t have that
many left. If we win the series
in Houston, it will be real exit-
ing. We’ll be really close.”
Close enough that they no
longer worry about St. Louis,
the one team with any chance

an injury but returned later
— missed a golden chance
in front of the net on quick
counterattack as her 6-yard
header missed just over the
top at 5:37.
The Lady Pirates also had
their chances but far fewer.
Their best in the last half
came at 27:35 when Coble’s
tried a free kick from 22 yards
on the right sideline but Stant
was up to the task; and at
18:11, when freshman Kiana
Warnement’s 8-yarder off a
corner kick was easily nabbed
by Stant.
The Jays
nearly drew
first blood
to open the
matchup;
at 37:22,
freshman
Madison
Kreeger’s
23-yarder
from the top
Boggs
of the circle
hit off the
right post.
Once more, try as the Jays
might, they could not put a
scoring sequence together —
until the 21:11 mark. Off a
steal, Grothouse got a look
outside the left post and her
13-yarder went low and hard
to the right side for a 1-0
edge.
The Lady Pirates, who had
a chance for senior Taylor
Bidlack to score at 30:41
when her try from the top of
the box was deflected wide
by Stant, got the equalizer
just 2:21 after falling behind.
This time, Coble fed Bidlack
for a quick move on the left
wing just inside the box. Her
16-yarder curled over the top
of a leaping Stant for a 1-1
tie.
At 8:15, Grothouse had a
great look on the left wing but
her 10-yard blast was deflect-
ed wide by a defender.
“What I am truly enjoying
seeing is how we don’t have
to do a lot of coaching on the
sidelines; the girls are pick-
ing things up on their own.
They made three adjustments
in our style of game with-
out us telling them,” Munoz
added. “I like how we’re get-
ting better each time out with
the quick-passing game, the
better touches and the ball
possession. This was a big
step for us against a quality
opponent and I hope we con-
tinue to get better reading and
anticipating the game.”
Continental won the battle
of corner kicks 4-1.
“We’ve had a couple of
matches here where we’re
not coming out with the right
intensity. We’re getting down
and we come back but that
isn’t the way we want to
play,” Bidlack added. “Still,
if the first eight matches are
any indication of what the last
eight will be, we are definitely
moving in the right direction.
We just need to have intensity
every time out.”
The Jays play at Kalida 7
p.m. Tuesday, while the same
afternoon, the Lady Pirates
host Miller City at 5 p.m.
of catching them.
“We’re in a good situa-
tion,” said Jonny Gomes, who
drove in Cincinnati’s run off
Lopez (6-14). “We don’t have
to scoreboard watch, we really
don’t. We’ve done a good job
of keeping our eyes on the
prize.”
The Reds have such
a big lead — eight
games over St. Louis
to start the day —
that they can consider
options for their play-
off rotation. Volquez is
trying to pitch his way into it.
The 2008 All-Star had
reconstructive elbow surgery
last summer and is still round-
ing into form. He returned to
the rotation in July but was so
inconsistent that he got sent to
the minors for two starts to fix
his flaws. In two starts back,
he’s been better.
Last Saturday, he allowed
only one hit in seven shut-
out innings against Pittsburgh.
He gave up six hits and
three runs in 6 2-3 innings
against Arizona, throwing a
pair of wild pitches. He also
fanned seven, although that
wasn’t so noteworthy — the
Diamondbacks are about to
break the major-league record

DELPHOS — St. John’s
hosted traditional Midwest
Athletic Conference power
St. Henry Thursday night in
volleyball action at Robert A.
Arnzen Gymnasium.
The Redskins won in three
straight sets — 25-13, 25-9,
25-16 — in a match that was
close at times and then had
parts that were runaways.
The third set was the closest
of the night for the Jays. They
kept it close; with the score
tied at 6-all, St. Henry started
to pull away. St. Henry had
a 3-point run to make it 9-6.
The Jays got a point but the
Lady Redskins returned the
favor with a 6-point run, giv-
ing themselves the advantage
of 15-7. The rest of the set
was a see-saw battle between
the two MAC schools. St.
Henry’s final point came as
the Jays missed a hit for the
return.
The set can be summed up
from the amount of kills: St.
Henry had 10 to St. John’s
three.
“We played very good
defense and our serving was
very aggressive, which took
Delphos out of their game,”
St. Henry coach Diana Kramer
commented.
The first set was similar to
the third set. The Jays took the
lead 1-0 but the visitors came
right back with an 8-point
run which the Jays could not
recover from. The closest the
Jays could get the rest of the
set was five points — 16-11.
The Jays played right with
them after the run until the

Lady Green
dispatches Wildcats
OTTOVILLE — The
Ottoville girls soccer team
responded from their first
blemish on the
2010 season
— Tuesday’s
tie with LCC
— with a 2-0
Putnam County
League triumph
over Miller City Thursday
for strikeouts in a season.
Volquez walked the first
two batters to open the fifth,
then gave up a run-scoring
double to Gerardo Parra.
Singles by Stephen Drew and
Kelly Johnson made it 3-1.
Volquez left after 85 pitch-
es.
Lopez was solid all
the way through. He
gave up eight hits and
didn’t walk a batter
while winning for the
first time since July 8.
Lopez was 0-7 with
a 6.53 ERA in his last
11 starts. He allowed only
a first-inning run — Drew
Stubbs singled and scored
when Gomes’ fly to center
went off Chris Young’s glove
on the warning track, dropping
for a double.
Lopez pitched out of scor-
ing threats in the fourth and
fifth innings against the NL’s
most prolific offense. Juan
Gutierrez pitched the ninth for
his 10th save in 12 tries.
Arizona split the 4-game
series, finishing 3-7 against
the Reds this season. Arizona
has lost 12 of its last 15 against
Cincinnati.
The Diamondbacks fanned
nine times, moving ahead of
St. John’s senior Tiffany Geise and sophomore Heather
Vogt get a rare block of a St. Henry spike Thursday night
at Arnzen Gymnasium. However, the visiting Redskins
got out the broom against the host Blue Jays in MAC vol-
leyball.

and ace to finish the set and
put them up 1-0.

Lady Musketeers
romp past Knights
FORT JENNINGS — The
Fort Jennings girls soccer unit
controlled the tempo Thursday
night at Keith Hamel Memorial
Field, shutting out invading
Crestview 5-0.
The Lady
Musketeers
— who domi-
nated the shots
on-goal 26-2
and the corner
kicks 15-2 —
scored at 32:55 of the first
half as Macy Schroeder assist-
ed older sister Morgan for a
goal past Lady Knight keeper
Megan Foster (15 saves).
Taylor Wallenhorst scored
unassisted later in the half for
a 2-0 halftime lead.
Senior Lauren Verhoff then
put together a second-half
hat trick: scoring in the first
minutes, at 32:18 and then at
the 2008 Marlins for second
place on the all-time list with
1,373 strikeouts this season.
The 2001 Brewers set the
major-league record by fan-
ning 1,399 times.
Arizona has struck out at
least a dozen times in eight of
its last 10 games.
Notes: The Reds traded
RH reliever Enerio Del Rosario
to Houston for cash. The
24-year-old appeared in nine
games with Cincinnati during
the first half of the season,
posting a 2.08 ERA without
a decision. ... 3B Scott Rolen

Jim Edmonds pinch-hit and flied out,
his first appearance since he strained
abdominal muscles in August.
Cardinals 4, Padres 0
ST. LOUIS — Jake Westbrook
pitched eight effective innings and
the St. Louis Cardinals beat the
San Diego Padres 4-0 on Thursday
night in the opener of a key 4-game
series.
Albert Pujols hit a run-scoring
double in the Cardinals’ 4-run sixth
inning, snapping an 0-for-9 skid, and
Yadier Molina added a 2-run single.
St. Louis snapped a 3-game
skid and moved within seven of
NL Central-leading Cincinnati. The
Cardinals have 17 games left on their
schedule..
Westbrook (2-3) gave up six hits
and walked three in his longest outing
since he was acquired from Cleveland

“We controlled the game

made a couple good runs each
half and had a couple but
could only get off two shots in
the match,” Musketeer coach
Rodney Wagner said. “Our
defense really stepped up again
tonight and our midfield play-
ers controlled the tempo of the
game. The forwards are start-
ing to get good looks and it
looks like things are starting to
come together. Crestview was a
physical, hard-playing team and
they never gave up. They fought
until the end of the game. In
both halves, we had six differ-

San Diego.
Mets 6, Pirates 2
NEW YORK — Mike Pelfrey
earned his 15th win, pitching seven
strong innings and hitting a tie-break-
ing single to help the Mets finish a
4-game sweep.
Slumping rookie Lucas Duda had
a 2-run double and the Mets rallied for
their first 4-game sweep since June
2006 at Arizona. Angel Pagan added
three hits, two RBIs and an outstand-
ing catch in center field.
New York (74-73) has won seven
out of nine to move over .500 for the
first time since Aug. 24.
Pelfrey (15-9) allowed two runs and
six hits. He also put New York up 3-2
with a 2-out single off Sean Gallagher
through the left side in the sixth. That
scored Duda, who doubled with one out
off Wilfredo Ledezma (0-3).
Pittsburgh, with the worst record
in baseball at 48-98, fell to 15-59
away from home.

shortest outing of the season. This
was just his third loss in nine starts

and scored four points. It was
back and forth for a time until
senior Gabby Metzner reg-

set was all Lady Redskins.
They had an 8-point run with
four kills and two blocks to
go up 15-7. The run ended
when the Redskins served
out but it was a matter of
time.
St. Henry all but closed
the deal with another 8-point
run, mainly due to Katie

to get one more point and the
set was closed out with an ace
from Sara Lefeld.

8-5 on Thursday night to complete the
3-game sweep.
Paul Konerko hit a solo homer in
the third against Pavano (17-11) after
being drilled in the face by a pitch in
the first inning. A.J. Pierzynski and
Alexei Ramirez also went deep but
the Twins walked away with their 11th

Jefferson hopes to put
Mustangs in ‘grid’lock
By JIM METCALFE
The Delphos Herald
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com
Allen East may be without
starting quarterback/defen-
sive back Blake Truex (out
for the season) tonight but
for Jefferson head grid coach
Bub Lindeman, the game plan
won’t change much for his
Wildcats as the two Northwest
Conference combatants set for
battle tonight at Stadium Park.
“They didn’t throw much or
that successfully with him, so
we don’t anticipate that chang-
ing without him. From what
we see on film and live, they
want to run the ball first, run
it second, run it third and then
punt; in their first two games,
they threw the ball a total of 11
times and had four picked off,”
Lindeman
explained.
“Still, they
seemed to be
coming into
their own
a little bit
after beating
drives. That’s our game plan
every week.”
The basically healthy
Jeffcats needed to rely on their
defense to pull out a 19-15
victory on the road at Bluffton
last Friday.
“It was a survival game; we
survived a very sloppy perfor-
mance by our offense over-
all. Our offense early on has
put our defense in some tough
predicaments and most of the
time, the defense has held,”
Lindeman added. “That was
true Friday, especially after the
first quarter. (Assistant coach)
Ben (Rahrig) does a great job
of getting them prepared week
after week.
“The second half, I felt we
wore them down. Our offen-
sive line came off the ball
harder and established the line
of scrimmage a lot better. We
just didn’t capitalize on a cou-
ple of drives but they came out
relaxed and refocused.”

DELPHOS — The
Jefferson volleyball team
played host to the Lima
Central Catholic Thunderbirds
Thursday night in Northwest
Conference action at Jefferson
High School.
The host Lady Wildcats
came out a little flat and it
cost them, losing three sets to
none — 25-21, 25-18, 25-15
— in giving the T-Birds the
sweep.
The Wildcats got out to an
early lead in set 1, grabbing
an 8-6 edge, but could not
keep up the pace. The Lady
T-Birds battled back and took
over the momentum to their
side of the court in building
a 19-14 lead late in the set.
The T-Birds were looking to
close it out in the opener but
the home team played tough
and was not about ready to
give up. The Wildcats got it
to within two — 23-21 late in
the set but the Birds took the
last two points to put them-
lead in set 2 and picked up
right where they left off in set
1. The visitors controlled the
tempo of the set in building
up a 22-14 lead. However,
the home team again battled
back and came as close as
23-18 before LCC again took
the final two points to give
them the set victory and a 2-0
lead in the match.
With LCC going for
the sweep in set 3 — and
Delphos trying to avoid it
— the T-Birds came out
swinging again and really
were on the top of their
game. The Wildcats trailed
early by a score of 17-10
but were not ready to fold
up shop. The T-Birds stayed
strong, however, and were
able to pull away towards the
end of set 3 and give them
the clean sweep of the Lady
Jeffcats.
Jefferson coach April
Merschman was unavailable
for comment.
The T-Birds also were
able to take the junior varsity
match Thursday night two
sets to none.

will prob-

ably rely even more on Levi

Wing-T, which is like the tail-
back in the ‘I’ — he will get
the ball 15-20 times a game.
Their wingbacks, Jamal Cash
and J.R. Conyers, are very
quick players who want to get
on the edge of your defense.
Plus, they have their typically
physical and big offensive line
to run behind. That’s the key
for us defensively; be as physi-
cal and hard-nosed as they are
and not let them set the tone.”
The Jefferson (2-1, 2-0
NWC) offense is scoring 18
points per contest, with 129.7
yards rushing and 128.7 pass-
ing per (4.8 yards per play);
Curtis Miller (44 rushes,
173 yards, 1 TD), Mitchell
Antalis (39 for 133, 1), Jesse
Cano (28-of-44 passing, 386
yards, 5 TDs, 4 picks), Logan
Bonifas (12 grabs, 128 yards,
2 scores), Jacob Leach (6 for
51), Nick Cook (5 for 108,
1) and Kody Richardson (4
for 47, 1), along with linemen
Trenton Gossman (4 pancake
blocks), Justin Rode (3) and
Zac Lumpkins (2).
The defense cedes 19.3
markers per, yielding 90.7
yards rushing an outing and 101
passing (4.4 yards per play).
Rode (18 solos, 8 assists, 2 for
loss) and Miller (17 and 7, 2
for loss) lead the troops, along
with Jordan Vorst (17 and 5),
Quinten Wessell (13 and 7),
Lumpkins (12 and 5), A.J. Cross
(15 and 2) and Shayn Klinger (2
interceptions).
“Allen East has that 3-5-3
look, the only one of its kind in
the NWC. That means a little
bit extra time of preparing for
us as a coaching staff to get
a better handle on what they
will do out of it,” Lindeman
continued. “They have the big
line but they also have good
speed behind it. They might
move people around quite a bit
but for us, we just have to be
comfortable in our rules and in
recognizing what we’re seeing
on the field.
“For us, it’s a matter of
establishing the line of scrim-
mage both sides, limiting
the turnovers and sustaining
off a 29-0
shutout of
Spencerville.
“He was
such a big Richardson
part of our
game plan on both sides of
the ball as the quarterback and
in the secondary. Corey Crow
will take his place under cen-
ter, an inexperienced player,
and Tyler Wilson has been
a part-timer in the second-
ary but is now a full-timer,”
Staley acknowledged. “We
have made a lot of improve-
ment over last year; we only
had six seniors on the team
last year and only about two
really played a lot. We’re big-
ger, stronger and faster, plus
simply more experienced. Our
offensive line in particular has
made great strides in under-
standing the schemes they are
facing each week. We were
hoping to split our first two
games: Bath and Columbus
Grove; but we lost to our rivals
in a close game the first week
and found out Grove’s a pretty
solid team.”
In particular, Staley will
look to a pair of 3-year start-
ers on the offensive line: right
guard Demitrius Williams and
left tackle Bryan Hager; to
help lead the way.
“Jefferson presents some
problems offensively: they
have the two good runners
in Miller and Antalis, along
with Leach at fullback, plus
they have some weapons on
the perimeter,” Staley added.
“Bonifas in particular is a
playmaker. Defensively, they
are their typically good unit;
they are tough and physical in
their front seven and though
they don’t have one outstand-
ing player, they have a lot of
solid players. They are well-
coached in their system and
don’t beat themselves.
“For us, we have to do a
number of things: establish the
point of attack and limit our
turnovers offensively and not
give them any big plays in the
passing game. If we can do
those things, we’ll be in the
game.”
Kickoff is 7:30 p.m.
for second WNBA title
By CHARLES ODUM
The Associated Press
ATLANTA — The Seattle
Storm made a sweeping claim
to be considered one of the top
teams in WNBA history.
Even if the Atlanta Dream
were difficult to convince.
Seattle, which matched the
league record for regular-season
wins, completed the WNBA’s
first undefeated postseason in
eight years, beating the Dream
87-84 on Thursday night for a
3-game sweep of the finals.
“I don’t know if I’ll ever be
part of a team that’s been as
good or be at the end of a season
and feel like I wish it would all
start again because it’s been so
much fun,” said Lauren Jackson,
who swept the regular-season and
WNBA finals MVP awards.
Atlanta, a third-year expan-
sion franchise, was difficult to put
away. The Storm won the three
games by a total of eight points
and won Game 3 only after the
Dream missed two 3-pointers in
the final 6 seconds.
The Storm became the first
team to win the championship
without a postseason loss since
the Los Angeles Sparks went 6-0
in 2002, when the finals were a
best-of-3 series.
Seattle guard Sue Bird had 14
points and seven assists.
The Storm won the first two
games in Seattle by a combined
margin of five points and strug-
gled at times against Atlanta’s
relentless defense in the decisive
Game 3.
Atlanta stayed close, thanks to
the dynamic scoring of second-
year star Angel McCoughtry, who
scored a finals-best 35 points.

Holy days for Jewish seekers

For centuries, Jews have watched their rab-
bis show reverence to God during Rosh Ha-
shana and Yom Kippur rites by doing a pros-
tration at the front of the synagogue.
This symbolic act takes place during the
“Aleinu” prayer that reminds worshippers of
their duty to “bend our knees, and bow down,
and give thanks, before the Ruler, the Ruler of
Rulers, the Holy One, Blessed is God.”
Rabbi Shira Stutman isn’t sure how many
people will accept her invitation to exit the
pews and perform this prostration for them-
selves during her seeker-friendly High Holy
Days service at the Sixth and I Historic Syna-
gogue in Washington. But many of those who
do, she said, will find themselves assuming a
familiar meditative pose.
It helps to know that this unusual syna-
gogue offers occasional services that blend
yoga with traditional Shabbat prayers.
“There are different ways to do a full pros-
tration, but one of them looks exactly like the
yoga position called ‘Child’s Pose,’ “ said
Stutman, referring to a move in which individ-
uals sink to their knees, bow their foreheads to
the floor and extend their arms forward. “I’m
guessing that for most of the people who will
attend the service I’m leading -- young profes-
sionals in their 20s and 30s -- the Child’s Pose
will be more familiar than the tradition of the

Religion
rabbi prostrating during the Aleinu prayer.
“This will let me use this simple yoga pose
to talk about what the act of prostrating can
mean for us in worship.”
This is the kind of multilayered experience
that is common at Sixth and I, which offers
four radically different services -- Orthodox,
Conservative, family-friendly and progres-
sive -- during the holy season that begins at
sundown Wednesday (Sept. 8) with Rosh
Hashana, the Jewish New Year, and ends 10
days later with Yom Kippur, the solemn Day
of Atonement.
This multidomed sanctuary on the edge of
the Chinatown neighborhood has a complex
and poignant history. Built in 1908 for the
Adas Israel Congregation, it was sold in 1951
to the Turner Memorial AME Church and, by
2002, was hours away from being converted
into a nightclub.
However, a trio of Jewish developers
rushed in and purchased it for $5 million.
Before long, they had created a coalition that
focused on creating an urban facility that was
part synagogue, part education complex, part
community center and part concert hall -- yet
independent from the branches of Judaism
that have defined the faith for the past century
or so.
“Jews in this generation, or generations,
don’t want to define themselves by the terms
of the past,” said Esther Foer, the synagogue’s
executive director. “Those denominational la-
bels -- like ‘Conservative’ and ‘Orthodox’ and
‘Conservadox’ -- don’t matter much anymore,
especially when you are talking about how
people want to worship.
“What matters, at the end of the day, is that
we are all Jews -- who are praying.”
While Stutman was trained in a liberal Re-
constructionist school, she stressed that the
synagogue does not have one defining con-
gregation or rabbi. Instead, it uses six prayer
books and is served by six rabbis and scores
of other worship leaders. Her “Sixth in the
City” services are attempts to create “primal
worship” experiences, mixing English and
Hebrew with themes from many sources, in-
cluding Judaism, mass media and other world
religions.
All of this is fitting in an age in which the
vast majority of young Jews have no affilia-
tion whatsoever with traditional Jewish in-
stitutions. Jewish leaders are struggling with
this reality, as demonstrated by a 2001 survey
that defined a Jew as someone whose “reli-
gion is Jewish, OR, whose religion is Jewish
and something else, OR, who has no religion
and has at least one Jewish parent or a Jewish
upbringing, OR, who has a non-monotheistic
religion, and has at least one Jewish parent or
a Jewish upbringing.”
What matters, said Stutman, is that people
are searching for connections and experiences
that help define who they are -- as Jews.
“We are not defined by any one set of doc-
trines or dogmas ... so every Jewish service
is a fusion service,” she said. “At any Jew-
ish service, there are people in the room with
1,000 different views of God and half of them
are probably atheists, anyway. That’s a given.
What matters is that people know there is a
place where they find community and keep
searching.”

Hurricane Karl takes aim at Gulf

By MIGUEL ANGEL HERNANDEZ
The Associated Press
VERACRUZ, Mexico — Hurricane Karl
grew with surprising speed into a power-
ful Category 3 storm today with forecasters
saying it may strengthen further as it roars
toward ports and oil installations on Mexico’s
Gulf Coast.
Karl’s maximum sustained winds reached
near 120 mph (195 kph), according to the
U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami.
Some additional strengthening was possible
before the hurricane made landfall, the hur-
ricane center said.
The Mexican government issued a hurri-
cane warning for a 186-mile (300-kilometer)
stretch of coast in Veracruz state, stretching
northward from the city of the same name. On
its predicted path, Karl could make landfall
between the port of Veracruz and the oil hub
of Poza Rica.
Poza Rica, while slightly inland, houses
important pipelines and natural gas- and oil-
processing plants operated by the state-owned
oil company, Petroleos Mexicanos. Pemex
said it had no immediate plans to halt produc-
tion at the plants because of the storm.
Authorities in Veracruz state — whose
southern half has suffered severe flooding
over the past few weeks — braced for a hit
on its northern coast, preparing sleeping
mats, bottled water and other supplies for
anyone taking refuge in shelters. Workers in
Veracruz city cut dangerous tree limbs that
could become flying debris.
About 80,000 people have had their homes
damaged and nine people have been killed
in flooding from heavy rains in southern
Veracruz since Aug. 19. Officials expressed
concern Karl could raise river levels again,
just as some residents are thinking of return-
ing to their homes.
In the beach town of Tecolutla, just south
of Poza Rica, fishermen and operators of
small tour boats began pulling their craft out
of the water.
Some people boarded up windows with
sheets of plywood, lashed down cooking gas
tanks and reinforced doors and signs to pre-
vent them from being blow away by the hur-
ricane’s wind, said Tecolutla’s civil defense
director, Edilberto Peralta.
“We are getting ready and warning people
early, to avoid any loss of human life,” said
Peralta, whose town of about 25,000 people
was lashed by Hurricane Dean in 2007 and
severely flooded by a tropical depression in
1999. “We are ready to take drastic mea-
sures.”
He said officials were considering wheth-
er any residents needed to evacuate their
homes.
The port of Tuxpan was closed to small
craft Thursday, and Port Capt. Gaspar Cime
said larger vessels would be banned later in
the day. Tuxpan has about 135,000 people.
By today, Karl was centered about 50
miles (80 kilometers) northeast of Veracruz.
It slowed slightly on its westward path, mov-
ing at 9 mph (15 kph).
Meanwhile, Hurricane Igor’s top winds
weakened today to 120 mph (195 kph) on
a track that could take it over Bermuda by
Monday. The government of Bermuda issued
a hurricane watch.
Farther east over the Atlantic, Hurricane
Julia strengthened slightly early today, though
remained a Category 1 storm with maximum
sustained winds of 85 mph (140 kph).
Karl could cause storm surges of 6 to 9
feet (2 to 3 meters) and “large and destructive
waves,” as well as dump up to 15 inches (40
centimeters) of rain in some areas of Veracruz
state, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said
in a statement.
As a tropical storm, Karl hit Yucatan on
Wednesday, downing tree limbs and causing
power outages. The storm made landfall on
the Mexican Caribbean coast about midway
between the cruise ship port of Majahual and
the coastal town of Xcalak.
