OHIO CITY — At least
one tornado touched down
in Van Wert County near

Camping: world’s end actually in Oct.
By GARANCE BURKE
The Associated Press
OAKLAND, Calif. — As
crestfallen followers of a
California preacher who fore-

to find meaning in their lives,
Harold Camping revised
his apocalyptic prophecy
Monday, saying he was off
by five months and the Earth

ing wall cloud at 6:44 p.m.
and shortly after that, Ohio
City Fire Department Chief
Brandon Bowen observed a
funnel touching down as the
storm approached Ohio City
from the west.
The tornado became rain-
wrapped as it moved east of
Ohio City. Multiple reports
show the funnel left the
ground as it traveled east,
eventually passing to the
south of Venedocia. McCoy
said the tornado is being pre-
liminarily categorized as an
EF1. Wind speeds in an EF1
event are between 86-110
miles per hour.
Damage from the storm
occurred on Walnut Grove
Church Rd. between Burris
and Dull Robinson roads,
southwest of Ohio City.
Numerous trees were report-
ed down, including at least
one across St. Rt. 118, com-
pletely blocking the road-
— some of it from donations
made by followers — on
more than 5,000 billboards
and 20 RVs plastered with
the Judgment Day message.
Follower Jeff Hopkins
also spent a good deal of his
own retirement savings on
gas money to power his car
so people would see its omi-
nous lighted sign showcasing
Camping’s May 21 warning.
As the appointed day drew
nearer, Hopkins started mak-
ing the 100-mile round trip
from Long Island to New
York City twice a day, spend-
ing at least $15 on gas each
trip.
“I’ve been mocked and
scoffed and cursed at and
I’ve been through a lot with

my car,” said Hopkins, 52,

who lives in Great River, NY.

were also reported down in
a four-mile area. A barn was
leveled and a house damaged
west of St. Rt. 118 and heavy
flash flooding occurred in
Ohio City due to torrential
rains.
No injuries were reported
at the scene of the touch-
down. The Van Wert County
Chapter of the American Red
Cross was also on the scene.
A possible second tornado
touched down near the inter-
section of Wren-Landeck and
Dull Robinson roads.
McCoy said the warning
sirens were not activated
for the city of Van Wert
because of the location of the
storm. The tornado warning
was only issued for Ohio
City and east and National
Weather Service guidelines
dictate that only sirens in
the path of a tornado be

“I was doing what I’ve been

Camping, who made a
special appearance before the
press at the Oakland head-
quarters of the media empire
Monday evening, apologized
for not having the dates
“worked out as accurately as
I could have.”
Through chatting with a
friend over what he acknowl-

weekend, it dawned on him
that instead of the biblical

Gov’s $400K
request on old
bills approved
COLUMBUS (AP) —
Vendors pressed former Gov.
Ted Strickland to take care
of his administration’s unpaid
bills in the final days of his
term and continuing after he
left office, according to records
reviewed by The Associated
Press.
Emails from January
show that Ohio Government
Television got in touch with the
governor’s office regarding an
unpaid bill for $30,000. It was
four days before Strickland
was to leave office.
“I know there are 10 million
other things on your mind,”
OGTV executive director
Dan Shellenbarger wrote to
then-communications director
Keith Dailey, “but as usual I
was wondering if there were
any hold-ups with the pay-
ment?”
A panel of Ohio lawmak-
ers agreed Monday to give
Strickland’s successor,
Republican John Kasich, the
money to cover $330,000 in
bills the new administration
says were left behind when the
Democrat left office.
The final amount approved
by the State Controlling Board
was less than the $418,000
Kasich originally sought. It
represents a fraction of a per-
cent of the state’s $25 billion-
plus annual general revenue
budget.
State email reveal the grow-
ing frustration that led to the
request. Kasich’s spokesman,
Rob Nichols, called it “just
another mess we are being
forced to clean up.”
The biggest snag was over
about $120,000 due to the state
Department of Administrative
Services, which gets payments
from other state agencies for
handling their computer and
telecommunications functions.
The sum also included two
years of membership dues
to the National Governors
Association at $88,000 a year
and about $22,000 a month
in unemployment costs for
Strickland employees still
without jobs.
DAS fiscal services man-
ager John Yoho wrote to Mike
Bowen, Strickland’s chief fis-
cal officer, in early September
wondering what had happened
to a box packed with 51 past
due invoices that had been
sent over for payment some
five months earlier. Some
dated back to 2007, the year
Strickland took office.
Yoho wrote again on Sept.
22 and Oct. 12 when noth-
ing had changed. At the time,
Strickland and Kasich were in
the thick of an intensely com-
petitive and closely watched
governor’s race.
After Strickland lost the
election and his administration
was winding down its days
in office, the pile of invoices
remained.
By December, emails show,
the issue had reached the high-
est levels of the Office of
Budget and Management — to
Budget Director Pari Sabety’s
assistant, David Ellis.
“If he does not settle it most
likely it will get ‘kicked’ over
the wall to the next administra-
tion,” administrative services’ mal rights group is trying to

Reached Monday, Ellis said
he couldn’t comment because
he didn’t recall any of the
details of the exchange.
Council blamed
for corporation
leaving town
BROOKLYN (AP) — wave. People for the Ethical
People living in the Cleveland
suburb that’s losing American
Greetings’ headquarters have
blasted local officials at the
first city council meeting since
the company announced it
would leave.
The Cleveland Plain Dealer
reports Brooklyn resident Mary
Lee Bowen told city leaders
they’re to blame because they
pushed to increase the city
income tax two years ago.
American Greetings Corp.
has said tax rates are just one
reason it’s moving its cor-
porate offices to Westlake,
9 miles away. The nation’s
largest publicly traded greet-
ing card company said in its
announcement Friday that the
new site in a bustling retail
center will be inspiring and
energizing.
Another Brooklyn resi-
dent defended the mayor and
council. Ken Demchik urged
the 30 people who attended
Monday’s meeting to boycott
American Greetings products.

YWCA to begin 16th year
of Summer Food Program
The YWCA of Van Wert
County announces its 16th
year of sponsorship of the
free Summer Food Service
Program for youth.
During the school year,
many children receive free-
and reduced-price breakfast
and lunch through the School
Breakfast and National
School Lunch Programs.
However, during summer
vacation children may not
have the same access to
nutritious meals. The goal of
the Summer Food Program
is to fill that nutritional gap
and make sure children can
get the nutritious meals they
need. The program aims
to fill the participants’
time with positive activities,
including field trips, volun-
teer opportunities, interac-
tions with a variety of speak-
ers and presentations and
create mentoring relation-
ships to encourage construc-
tive decision making. All
activities are well supervised
by qualified mentors, super-
visors, and lifeguards.

recreational programs will be

Lady Knights seize NWC crown
By Charlie Warnimont
Delphos Herald Correspondent
COLUMBUS GROVE
— Crestview picked a big
win Saturday when they won
a Division IV district soft-
ball title. As they closed out
Northwest Conference play
Monday with Columbus
Grove, the Knights were hop-
ing there would be no
letdown.
There was no let-
down for the Lady
Knights as they jumped
out to an early lead in defeat-
ing the Bulldogs 10-3 in NWC
action. The win allows the
Knights to claim an out-
right NWC crown at 9-0
and they are 18-4 overall.
The Lady Bulldogs fin-
ished the season at 5-4
in the NWC and 14-10
overall.
Crestview came out strong
loading the bases on singles by
Taylor Hamrick and Danica
Hicks before Jessica Burger
worked a walk. Mackenzie
Richard hit a sharp grounder
to third that Bulldog infield-
er Erica Walker turned into
an out at home plate. The
Knights didn’t let this early
opportunity escape them as
Danica Hicks scored on a wild
pitch before Maddie Preston
hit a ground ball to short that
scored Burger with the teams
second run. Richard scored
on another wild pitch before
a popup to third base ended
the inning.
“We got those runs on
the board early and that was
important,” Crestview coach
Owen Pugh said. “We kind of
had a little let down after that.
We needed to get this game in
to the conference over with.
We wante dto win this game
as we didn’t want to share the
conference with anyone. We
may have been looking ahead
to Thursday and the regionals
and we weren’t on top of our
game as we would have liked,
but we got the job done.”
Columbus Grove came
back with a run in the bottom
of the first as Taylor Haines
lined a single to center and
stole second base. After an
out, Bobbi Heckel sacrificed
Haines to third base and she
scored on a single to left by
Emily Frick. A line drive to
first base ended the inning.
After the opening inning
Preston was on top of her game
she blanked the Bulldogs over
the next five innings allowing
just three base runners the rest
of the game. Haines reached
third base in the third innings
after collecting another single
before she stole second base
and took third on a sacrifice
bunt by Micah Stechschulte.
She was stranded there as a
fly ball to right ended the
inning.
Preston went six innings
allowing one run on four hits
with nine strikeouts and a
walk.
“She pitched well,” Pugh
said. “We were hoping to pull
her a little sooner, but we
didn’t score quite enough runs
to feel comfortable, so we left
her in there an extra inning.”
After scoring three times
in the first inning, the Knights
left runners on base in the sec-

ond and third innings. In the
fourth the Knights added two
runs to their lead as they were
able to take advantage of two
Grove throwing errors.
Maddie Etzler started the
inning reaching on an error
at shortstop. With McKenzie
Nofer at the plate, Etzler was
called out for leaving the base
too soon. After the out Nofer
reached on an error by
the second baseman.
Nofer stole second before
Holly Genth reached on
a wild throw to first base
on her ground ball to third.
Genth ended up on third base
as the throw to first base
rolled down the right-field
line. A ground ball to first
base by Taylor Springer
scored Genth making it a
5-1 game.
“We have been a good
defensive team all season,”
Columbus Grove coach Brian
Schroeder said. “It was just
one of those nights where the
errors accumulated and hurt
us. They are one of the pre-
mier programs in the area and
they hit the ball hard and put
some pressure on us with their
short game and we threw the
ball around.”
The knights extended their
lead in the fifth as Burger
singled to center and Richard
reached on another Bulldog
fielding error that put runners
at second and third base. A
wild pitch and a passed ball
allowed the runs to score and
make it a 7-2 game.
Crestview finished their
scoring in the seventh inning
as Burger singled with one out
and scored as Richard tripled
to right-center field just over
the outstretched glove of the
Bulldogs’ Haley Grigsby.
Kirstin Hicks followed with
an RBI groundout. Brittany
Helt followed with a walk,
took second on a passed ball
and scored as Angie Pierce
lined a single to left.
In the bottom of the seven,
Kirstin Hicks came to pitch
and allowed two runs as the
Knight defense suffered a
couple of throwing errors.
Katelyn Scott opened the
Bulldog seventh by reaching
on a single just out of the
reach of Hicks in the circle.
Grigsby was hit by a pitch
before Cece Utendorf reached
on an error by the first base-
man that allowed Scott to
score. a passed ball allowed
Grigsby to score.
Burger had three hits and
scored three times for the
Knights, while Richarad had
a hit, RBI and scored three
times. The Knights had just
seven hits in the game.
“At one time we looked and
the hits were tied at 4-4,” Pugh
said. “They had some errors that
allowed us to score runs. That
happens some times and you
just have to take what you get.
Now we have to get focused for
Thursday and North Baltimore
in the regionals.”
Heckel went the distance
for Grove as she allowed 10
runs, two earned, on seven
hits with four walks. Haines
and Frick both had two hits
for the Bulldogs.

She will be in the 3,000-

“In Division II, there are
no regionals. There is just
the Nationals,” Calvelage, a
junior for the Oilers and a
2008 graduate of St. John’s,
explained. “It’s all timing.

The steeplechase is defi-

seen at the high school level.
For one, there are barriers,

to Calvelage, that one must

NASCAR inducts 2nd Hall of Fame class
By JENNA FRYER
The Associated Press
CHARLOTTE, N.C. —
There was shock, maybe even
outrage, when David Pearson
didn’t make the inaugural
class of the NASCAR Hall
of Fame.
If Pearson felt slighted, he
never told anyone.
Pearson made the wait
worth it Monday night, head-
lining the inauguration of the
five-member second class. As
he did last year, when he was
passed over for induction,
Pearson called on the vot-
ing panel to elect NASCAR’s
pioneers before anyone else.
“I’m being honest, none of
us should be in it,” Pearson
said, throwing his support
behind the likes of Cotton
Owens, Raymond Parks and
Ray Fox. “I keep going back
to the ones that really started
it. The older guys ought to go
in first, the ones that really
started it and even me, I don’t
deserve to go in now.”

Lee Petty, who died in
2000 and is the only deceased

inducted by his grandchildren
and the honor was accepted
by sons Richard and Maurice,
who spoke of Lee Petty’s sin-

“His big deal was to take

‘OK, I knew I’d get there.

Brokaw honored Moore as

Moore, who was inducted by

Petty added in his introduc-
tion. “But I am going to tell

NEW YORK — Dario
Franchitti was ticked off.
The defending Indianapolis
500 champ was looking for-
ward to taking in the Manhattan
skyline from atop the Empire
State Building. Instead, after
IndyCar’s biggest names lit up
the skyscraper green in honor
of the race’s 100th anniversary
on a rainy, windy Monday, all
they could see from the 86th
floor sky deck was a blanket
of white.
It was nothing compared to
the frustration he felt Saturday,
when Franchitti ran out of fuel
on the final qualifying lap to
fumble away a spot on the
front row.
“It’s a long time since I’ve
been that (ticked) off getting
MLB

Indians 3, Red Sox 2
CLEVELAND — Asdrubal
Cabrera’s 2-out RBI double in
the eighth inning — the latest
big hit delivered by Cleveland’s
shortstop — rallied the Indians
to a win over the Red Sox, who
also lost second baseman Dustin
Pedroia with a leg injury.
Cabrera drove his double
off reliever Daniel Bard (1-4)
to the wall in left field, scor-
ing Michael Brantley and help-
ing the Indians win their fourth
straight and improve to 19-4 at
home. Cabrera also homered in
the fourth.
Joe Smith (2-1) got one
out in the eighth and closer
Chris Perez got Carl Crawford
to bounce into a game-ending
double play for his 13th save.
The game started after a
61-minute rain delay.
Blue Jays 7, Yankees 3
NEW YORK — J.P.
Arencibia hit a 3-run double in
a 5-run sixth inning and Jose
Bautista homered to back spot
starter Carlos Villanueva and lift
the Blue Jays to a victory over
out of the car,” said Franchitti,
who will start on the outside of
Row 3.
Maybe not since Sonoma
in 2007, when a late-race colli-
sion with a teammate cost him
his points lead in the series
standings.
“And that was only qualify-
ing,” Franchitti said, marveling
at just how much Indy means
to drivers and their teams.
A communication break-
down caused the problem,
which also hindered teammate
Scott Dixon. After Franchitti’s
first run, his crew drained the
tank. But not everybody real-
ized that later, so it wasn’t
completely filled before he
went back out.
Franchitti walked off, hel-
met still on, not doing any
interviews.
He went to the truck to
the Yankees.
Starting in place of injured
Jesse Litsch, his first start since
Oct. 3, 2009, Villanueva (2-0)
limited the Yankees to two hits
and a run in five innings.
Arencibia added an RBI sin-
gle in the eighth and Bautista
didn’t disappoint in his matchup
with Curtis Granderson as the
top two sluggers in baseball.
Bautista crushed a pitch from
Bartolo Colon (2-3) in his first
at-bat, sending a line drive over
the 399-foot marker in left-cen-
ter for his 19th homer of the
season.
Tigers 6, Rays 3
DETROIT — Victor Martinez
hit a 2-run double and Jhonny
Peralta had a 2-run single in the
eighth inning, lifting the Tigers
to a win over the Rays.
Charlie Furbush (1-0) pitched
3 2/3 scoreless innings of relief
in his major-league debut after
Detroit starter Phil Coke was
injured. Former Rays reliever
Joaquin Benoit worked a score-
less eighth. Jose Valverde gave
up two runs in the ninth but
avoided a total collapse by get-
change, then to his bus to
get a drink of water. Finally
Franchitti talked to his engi-
neer and owner Chip Ganassi.
Franchitti was gracious
in talking about the mistake
Monday but the frustration
still rippled in his voice as he
described Saturday’s events.
“We’re the best team in
the business,” Franchitti said.
“Everyone makes mistakes
now and then but we’d done
all the hard work. We put our-
selves in position to be on the
front row and we let it slip
away. Trust me, that mistake
won’t be made again. The team
is so focused. If we can, we’ll
make up for it on Sunday.”
Danica Patrick and Helio
Castroneves, who joined
Franchitti in New York on
Monday, haven’t exactly felt
on top of the world either dur-
ting former Tiger Johnny Damon
to line out to first baseman Miguel
Cabrera with two on.
Jeremy Hellickson (5-3)
allowed two runs and four hits
in 6 1/3 innings.
Mariners 8, Twins 7, 10
innings
MINNEAPOLIS — Luis
Rodriguez hit a sacrifice fly in
the 10th inning and the Mariners
rallied to win their sixth straight
game, beating Jim Thome and
the Twins.
Carlos Peguero’s single
in the ninth scored Michael
Saunders and tied the game,
helping the Mariners overcome
Thome’s powerful return to the
lineup. In his first game off the
disabled list, Thome homered
twice — including a 465-foot
shot that bounced high in the air
after landing on the Target Field
pavilion in the fourth inning.
He also hit a line drive that
had just enough height to clear
the wall in left field in the sev-
enth. The slugger took a curtain
call after his second homer and
the Twins held a 7-4 lead.
Angels 4, Athletics 1
ing the lead-up to Indy.
Patrick failed to qualify
Saturday, then almost didn’t
get a chance for one last try on
Bump Day when her car failed
technical inspection and she
had to wait out the rain.
“I don’t think I’ve ever felt
so sick to my stomach, so nau-
seous and so jittery — ever,”
she said.
Not only did Castroneves
miss out on an unprecedented
third straight pole, he’ll have
his worst starting spot in 11
career races at Indy at 16th.
The 3-time champ has also
crashed three times in his first
four races.
Both Patrick and
Castroneves found a silver lin-
ing in the clouds hovering over
the Empire State Building —
they couldn’t look down to see
just how high they were.
ANAHEIM, Calif. — Torii
Hunter threw out the potential
go-ahead run at the plate in
the seventh inning and doubled
home the go-ahead run in the
eighth, leading the Angels over
the Athletics.
Bobby Abreu grounded into
a fielder’s choice after former
Angels closer Brian Fuentes
(1-7) opened the inning by walk-
ing Erick Aybar. Hunter greeted
Michael Wuertz with a double to
the wall in right-center on a 2-2
pitch, easily scoring Abreu. Jeff
Mathis capped the rally with a
2-out, 2-run single off Wuertz,
who came in with .103 oppo-
nents batting average — the
best among AL relievers.
Fuentes has been charged
with the loss in each of his last
four appearances, setting an
Oakland record.
Scott Downs (2-1) got the win
with a scoreless eighth, retiring
David DeJesus on a ground-
out after giving up 2-out singles
to Hideki Matsui and Conor
Jackson. Rookie Jordan Walden
pitched a perfect ninth for his
ninth save in 12 chances.

night, slamming straight into St.
John’s Regional Medical Center.
The hospital confirmed that five
of the dead were patients —
all of them in critical condition
before the tornado hit. A hospital

“We’re going to stay there until

every neighborhood is rebuilt,
until every business is back on

It was the second major
tornado disaster in less than a
month. In April, a pack of twist-
ers roared across six Southern
states, killing more than 300
people, more than two-thirds of
them in Alabama.

The rainy, cool weather
— the forecast called for an
overnight low of 62 degrees
— raised concerns about its
effect on anyone still trapped
in rubble. A whipping wind,
perhaps strong enough to finish
off homes left barely standing
by the tornado, made things
more dangerous for searchers
and potential survivors.
