DELPHOS Delphos
City Schools Board of
Education
announced
Thursday it will begin the
search for an interim superintendent immediately.
During a special meeting, the board accepted
Superintendent Jeff Prices
resignation and thanked him
for his four years of service.
Price was instrumental in
formulating a strategic plan
for the district, something

they expired. It will continue
to bar them from taking on
new ones. It had been unclear
before whether traders could
roll over positions theyd
held before the ban went into
effect.
Several countries banned
short selling during the financial crisis of 2008 to try to
tame volatility. But some
experts argued that the bans
actually contributed to a feeling of uncertainty since their
very existence suggests the
system isnt working as it
should and limits how traders
can respond.
One moderately bright spot
for European policymaker
remains the relative calm in
the bond markets after the
European Central Bank started
buying up Italian and Spanish
bonds. Both countries yields
on their ten-year bonds have
fallen over a percentage point
to below 5 percent, which is
considered manageable.
Theres also been some
calm in the currency markets,
with the euro up 0.9 percent at
$1.4423 and the dollar down
0.4 percent at 76.45 yen.
Earlier, Asian shares also

Mainland Chinese shares
tracked losses elsewhere, with
shares in coal, oil and cement
leading the decline. The
Shanghai Composite Index
lost 1 percent to 2,534.36 after
dipping almost 2 percent earlier in the day. The Shenzhen

bin Laden in the northwest

Pakistani garrison town of
Abbottabad. The continued missile attacks, which
Pakistan officially opposes,
suggests Washington considers the tactic too valuable to
give up.
Though Pakistan objects
to the covert, CIA-run missile program, it is believed
to have aided it at times. The
U.S. rarely acknowledges the
program.
The two missiles hit a
house today in Sheen Warsak
village in the South Waziristan
tribal area, according to two
Pakistani intelligence officials who spoke on condition
of anonymity because they
were not authorized to speak
to reporters.
The identities of the dead
were not immediately clear.
Although U.S. officials insist
the vast majority of victims
in the strikes are militants,
Pakistanis and some human
rights activists have said
civilians are often caught up
in the attacks.
South Waziristan is a lawless stretch of rugged territory that was largely under
the control of the Pakistani
Taliban until October 2009,
when the countrys army
launched an operation against
the insurgents. However, militant activity is still occasionally reported in the region.
It is nearly impossible
to independently verify the
information from the region
because access is heavily
restricted.

Burglary probe
leads to mans
warrant arrest

At 6:47 p.m. on Thursday,

Delphos police were called to
the 600 block of West Fifth
Street in reference to a burglary complaint.
Upon officers arrival,
the victim stated someone
had gained entry to the residence and had taken items
from inside. Officers did find
signs of forced entry into the
residence and contacted the
Detective Bureau.
As officers were investigating the complaint, they
came into contact with Garrett
Dienstberger, 26, of Delphos,
at which time it was found that
Dienstberger had an active
warrant for his arrest issued
out of Van Wert County. As
a result, Dienstberger was
transported to the Van Wert
County Jail on the warrant.

Delphos man

charge

At 11 p.m. on Thursday,
Delphos police came into
contact with Chad Nueman,
26, of Delphos, at which time
Nueman was found to be in
possession of drug abuse
instruments.
As a result, Nueman was
arrested on the charge and
transported to the Van Wert
County Jail. He will appear in
Van Wert Municipal Court on
the charge.

items. The core Consumer Price

of their concern that shoppers
will retreat, though, retailers are
treading the line between style,
quality and price.
Some merchants are making inexpensive tweaks
additional stitching, fake button
holes, fancy tags to justify
price increases. Those embellishments can add pennies to
$1 to the cost of a garment,
but retailers can charge $10
more for them, said Marshal
Cohen, chief industry analyst
with market research firm The
NPD Group.
Were not seeing deflation or inflation; were seeing
con-flation, he said. Stores
are making consumers believe
theyre getting more for their
money.
After the price of the fabric for its girls corduroy
pants almost doubled, catalog
retailer Lands End, based in
Dodgeville, Wis., raised the
price of the pants by $7 to
$34.50. The company, a unit
of Sears Holdings Corp., also
added buttons and stitching on
the pockets to dress them up.
Consumers are going to
notice the price differences,
said Michele Casper, a Lands
End spokeswoman. But they
are also going to get a lot of
added benefits so they know
theyre not getting shortchanged.

Ohio union law

opponents want
repeal before deal

By JULIE CARR SMYTH

Associated Press

COLUMBUS A group
seeking to roll back an Ohio
law limiting the negotiating
powers of 350,000 unionized public workers reiterated
Thursday that it will only consider negotiating a compromise with the governor if the
bill is repealed.
We Are Ohio campaign
director A.J. Stokes asked
for a fresh start in a letter
to Republican Gov. John
Kasich and GOP legislative
leaders, which followed the
governors call Wednesday
for union leaders to join him
today to discuss striking a deal
that would remove a repeal
question from the Nov. 8 ballot. The deadline for doing so
is Aug. 30.
A complete repeal would
go a long way toward creating
an environment for compromise, restoring trust in government by the electorate and
setting the table for meaningful negotiations about creating jobs, rebuilding Ohios
economy and moving the state
forward, Stokes wrote.

COLUMBUS

Opponents of Ohios new

election overhaul were
cleared Thursday to proceed
with their effort to ask voters to repeal the law, which
makes changes such as moving the 2012 presidential primary from March to May
in the traditional presidential
swing state.
Fair Elections Ohio had
wanted to challenge only
parts of the law not the
primary switch but hit
a snag earlier this month
when Attorney General Mike
DeWine ruled against wording the group planned to use
to collect signatures needed
to make the ballot. Based on
DeWines ruling, organizers
resubmitted their phrasing to
challenge the entire bill.
DeWine gave the group
his approval on Thursday,
and the states top elections official also said Fair
Elections Ohio had the 1,000
valid signatures it needed to
continue with its effort.
Opponents must now gather roughly 231,000 signatures
by Sept. 29 to get a referendum on the 2012 ballot.
We have people all over
the state chomping at the bit to
get a petition to start circulating, said Jennifer Brunner, a
former Ohio secretary of state

and Democrat whos joined

Fair Elections Ohio.
The new law changed the
states presidential primary
to give lawmakers additional
time to redraw state legislative districts and Ohios
congressional districts. The
state is losing two U.S. House
seats as a result of the 2010
census.
If opponents of the elections overhaul are successful in gathering enough signatures, the law would be
suspended until voters had
a chance to weigh in. That
means the presidential primary would again be scheduled
for March.
We wont know when the
primary is until they gather
their signatures, Secretary
of State Jon Husted said in
a recent interview with The
Associated Press. He said it
would be too late by the end
of September to have district
lines drawn in time for a
March primary.
Brunner said neither she,
nor the elected lawmakers
and progressive groups that
are part of Fair Elections
Ohio, have a problem with
changing the primary to May
and wouldve liked to avoid
challenging that part of the
law. But she said they felt
they were backed into a corner where we really had to do
all or nothing by the attorney
generals interpretation.

Husted suggested the

Legislature might have to
take action to move the primary when it returns from
summer break in September.
Leaders in the Republicancontrolled Ohio House have
discussed the possibility of
introducing a separate bill to
push back the primary date,
but no final decision has been
made, said House spokesman
Mike Dittoe.
The law shortens the early
voting period, bans local
boards of elections from
mailing unsolicited absentee
ballot requests and prohibits
boards from paying the return
postage on applications or
ballots. It specifies that poll
workers may but arent
required to tell voters they
are in the wrong precinct.
Brunner and Fair Elections
Ohio say those provisions
place barriers on voters and
should be repealed. They
argue such changes will lead
to longer lines and deter people from voting.
Many of the election
changes were Husteds ideas.
Husted, a Republican who
became the states top election official in January, has
argued that early voting and
absentee ballot changes would
give uniformity to the elections process in the states 88
counties, where the early voting hours and absentee ballot
solicitations had varied.

after obtaining pills at the

Columbus clinic.
The Sadlers continued
operation of an illegitimate
pain clinic also creates a substantial risk to the community, Mangan said in the filing,
arguing it justifies revoking
the couples bond arrangements.
The Sadlers are free on
their own recognizance,
according to filings in the
case.
Richard Goldberg, attorney for Lester Sadler, said
Thursday he had not seen the
motion and could not comment.
Goldberg said previously
that the Sadlers did everything they could to ensure
proper medical care was
given to patients at their
clinic in Waverly, which has
since closed.
A message was left with
Nancy Sadlers attorney,
Steven Hillman, who in the
past has not returned phone
calls about the case.
A year ago, the Sadlers
submitted affidavits saying they made a combined
monthly income of $3,860
and required governmentfunded defense attorneys.
The government says that
since the original indictment,
the couple has continued to
operate Ohio Medical West,
a clinic in Columbus, with
Lester Sadler as owner and

Nancy Sadler as an employee.

The government says that
the Columbus clinic takes
in hundreds of thousands of
dollars a year and that after
expenses the couple is spending thousands of dollars on
purchases for an embroidery
business and on gambling
trips.
The government says this
year alone, Nancy Sadler
gambled with $58,533 at the
Hollywood Casino in Indiana,
while Lester Sadler gambled
with $21,368.
The 2010 indictment
against the Sadlers alleges
that employees at their southern Ohio pain clinic were
required to set up enough
appointments to fill 30 to
40 prescriptions of powerful
painkillers a day at $125 a
visit.
Workers who met the
quota would receive a weeks
pay for three or four days
work, according to the government. Those who slipped
up got less.

Private JobsOhio move

will cost 211 state jobs
By JULIE CARR SMYTH
AP Statehouse
Correspondent

COLUMBUS Gov. John

Kasich said Thursday that his
effort to privatize Ohios jobcreation functions will mean
about 200 fewer state jobs
as many parts of the state
Department of Development
are shut down and moved to
the nonprofit JobsOhio.
In a report sent to state lawmakers by a Thursday deadline, Kasich proposed shifting
a host of state functions to
JobsOhio, including strategic
business investment, loans
and loan servicing, a portion
of the grants and tax incentives program, and tourism.
The restructuring will mean
211 fewer public positions at
the department, or 40 percent,
by next year, the report said.
Development director Chris
Schmenk said the actual number of layoffs will be minimal because many of the jobs
will be eliminated through
attrition or retirement.
Kasich announced his plans
to create JobsOhio earlier this
year. He maintains the semiprivate nonprofit board of
appointed business and education leaders can move more
quickly to offer incentives and
strike deals that keep jobs and
attract new work to the state.
The governor told reporters during a teleconference

  


Feds: Ohio pill mill operators hiding their income

By ANDREW
WELSH-HUGGINS
AP Legal Affairs Writer

COLUMBUS A couple
accused of running a pill mill
are operating a second clinic
and using profits they hid
from the government to take
extensive gambling and shopping trips, federal prosecutors
said in a filing Thursday.
The government wants the
bond revoked for Nancy and
Lester Sadler, accused of running a pain management clinic in a southern Ohio county
considered one of the worst
places in the country for painkiller addiction.
The Sadlers didnt tell the
government they run another clinic making $15,000 a
week, While the taxpayers
are footing the bill for the
Sadlers criminal defense,
Timothy Mangan, an assistant U.S. Attorney, said in
the filing.
The government also
alleges the Sadlers require
patients visiting their pain
management clinic, in
Columbus, to bring a second
patient not being treated for
pain. The government calls
these sham patients meant to
subvert a new law limiting
how much of a clinics business involves pain treatment.
The government says one
of these sham patients died

Thursday that JobsOhio is

helping lift a malaise that
has plagued the state.
When you take a look at
an ability to meet your problems head-on, when youre
able to solve your fiscal problems which we all know
they have not been able to do
in Washington, when you are
able to have a Cabinet that is
able to assist in solving common problems between the
public and the private sector,
and you do not overregulate
or hassle people, you begin
to develop a reputation as a
state that is very interested
in being business-friendly,
Kasich said. Its all about
the jobs in Ohio and bringing
things back.
Under the plan, the state
would be divided into six
regions, each with its own
director. Local economic
development groups in each
region would partner with
JobsOhio to spur job growth
and keep employers from
leaving the state. Much of the
focus would be on technology
and innovation.
Regional groups partnering with JobsOhio include
Cincinnati USA Partnership;
Columbus
2020;
the
Appalachian Business Council;
the Dayton Development
Coalition; Team NEO; and
the Toledo Regional Growth
Partnership.

COLUMBUS (AP)
Financial troubles forced
a California man to take an
unspecified security job that
turned out to involve a scheme
to ship thousands of pounds of
marijuana to Ohio, a lawyer
said in a filing that asked for a
light sentence for Young Ko.
The filing also revealed
that an employee of a charter airplane company whose
plane was used to deliver the
marijuana tipped federal drug
authorities to the scheme in
2010.
Ko is one of six people
who have either pleaded guilty
or agreed to plead guilty in
the $3 million scheme that
authorities say brought more
than 7,000 pounds of marijuana to Ohio hidden in suitcases
aboard private planes.
Ko, 37, pleaded guilty in
February to one count of conspiring to distribute and to
possess with intent to distribute more than 2,000 pounds of
marijuana.
Kos problems began in
2009 when he lost his job at
a security company and at
the same time his fiancie was
reduced to part-time hours in
her familys retail business in
California, the filing said.
Ko had enthusiastically
become a father figure to his
fiancies twin sons, and it was
necessary for both to work
full-time to support the family, according to the filing.

Moderately confused

Republican aims
at Giffords seat

PHOENIX (AP) Is Rep.

Gabrielle Giffords running for
re-election?
Thats
a
question
Republican State Sen. Frank
Antenori of Tucson wants to
answer before the May 15
deadline for submitting nominating petitions. The first
potential candidate to publicly
declare an interest in running
for the southern Arizona post,
Antenori said Thursday he
feels Democrats are exploiting a perception that shes
running for re-election as a
way to blunt attempts by the
GOP to win the seat.
You are not going to
use this strategy for a political purpose and try to keep
Republicans out of the race
until May. Aint gonna happen, Antenori said, explaining that such a late announcement by Giffords would leave
GOP candidates flat-footed.
Giffords, who is in her
third term in Congress but has
spent the past eight months
recovering from a gunshot
wound she suffered during a
meeting with voters, hasnt
publicly said whether shell
seek re-election. She also has
been mentioned as a potential
candidate for a U.S. Senate
seat next year.
Arizona
Democratic
Party spokeswoman Jennifer
Johnson said the decision
on whether Giffords will
run is for the congresswoman and her family to make.
Her recovery isnt based on
(Antenoris) political ambitions, Johnson said.
Speculation on Giffords
future has buzzed since her
surprise return to Congress
earlier this month to cast
her first vote since the Jan.
8 shooting in Tucson that
wounded 12 others and killed
six people, including one of
her aides. Her return to vote
on the debt ceiling deal was
celebrated as proof she could
possibly return full-time to
politics.
Giffords campaign chairman Michael McNulty didnt
immediately return calls
placed Thursday.
Some Republicans have
privately expressed reluctance
in speaking publicly about
the future of the seat because
of sensitivities of commenting on her career as she was
recovering.
Antenori, who formed an
exploratory committee for a
potential congressional run,
said three weeks ago he
thought Giffords was going
to run, but now is left to
wonder after a loyal Giffords
aide took another job and,
he charges, the Democratic
Party is testing the waters for
other possible candidates for
the post.
If she is capable and has
the physical ability to represent the district, I think she
would be a formidable
almost unbeatable foe,
Antenori said. Hes the only
candidate so far who has said
publicly hes even considering a run but he also says
he will probably cancel those
plans if Giffords decides to
make another bid for her
seat.
Johnson said the party
isnt shopping around possible candidates for the post.
Congresswoman Giffords
is our incumbent, Johnson
said. If she decides not
to run, then thats the only
appropriate time for us to be
discussing other Democratic
candidates.

WASHINGTON Its
a microcosm of the budget
battling that has consumed
Congress all year: The Obama
administration wants federal agencies to save money
while Republicans push for
additional savings to take
a substantial bite out of the
governments towering pile
of IOUs.
White House budget chief
Jacob Lew has ordered agency heads to submit spending
plans for the upcoming budget at least 5 percent below
this years levels. He also
wants them to propose ways
to trim a total of at least 10
percent of their spending.
Michael Steel, a spokesman for House Speaker
John Boehner, R-Ohio, said
Thursday that Lews directive was a good way to
start finding spending cuts
that are required under the
recent debt-ceiling agreement
between the two sides.
But the White House
must get serious about real
structural reform of our entitlement programs if were
going to get our debt under
control to help our economy
grow and create jobs, Steel
said, referring to huge and
fast-growing benefit programs like Social Security
and Medicare that help drive
annual deficits skyward.

Lews letter did not rule

out, or even address, the
possibility of finding savings from benefit programs.
But Steels remark pointed
directly at the major fault line
that has blocked a sweeping
debt-cutting deal between the
two parties: Democrats have
resisted paring benefits from
Social Security, Medicare and
Medicaid, while Republicans
have refused to consider tax
increases.
The Obama administration has asked agencies in
years past to propose similar savings. But Lews order
comes just two weeks after
Obama and congressional Republicans ended an
epic debt ceiling battle that
has left both sides eager to
demonstrate a willingness
to trim red ink ahead of a
fierce autumn battle over the
economy and the debt and
just as the 2012 presidential
and congressional elections
approach.
By requesting two sets of
potential savings from agencies, Lew is moving toward
fulfilling the debt-ceiling
deal, which created a series of
annual spending targets and
would save tens of billions of
dollars a year.
By providing budgets
pegged to these two scenarios,
you will provide the president
with the information to make
the tough choices necessary
to meet the hard spending

targets in place and the needs

of the nation, Lew wrote to
agency heads.
The American Federation
of Government Employees,
which represents more than
625,000 federal workers and
employees of the District of
Columbia, also jumped into
the fray.
In a written statement,
national president John Gage
said the cuts mean just one
thing: more job destruction
in the midst of a jobs crisis.
He said that with millions
of Americans already unemployed or too discouraged to
seek work, why on earth
would the administration be
trying to dig an even deeper
hole?
The spending that Lew
ordered federal agencies to
trim will consume more than
$1 trillion of this years $3.8
trillion federal budget. The
rest of the budget covers
benefit programs and interest payments on the governments $14.3 trillion debt.
Lews letter suggests
that savings can be found
by eliminating unneeded programs and making agencies
more efficient. It also invites
agency heads to propose initiatives that would spark economic growth.
Finding the savings to
support these investments
will be difficult, but it is possible, Lew wrote.

Napolitano wrote in the letter. Doing otherwise hinders

our public safety mission
clogging immigration court
dockets and diverting DHS
enforcement resources away
from individuals who pose a
threat to public safety.
The decision comes amid
continued protests from immigrant communities and others that the administration has
been too focused on deporting
people whose only offense is
being in the country without the proper documents
or who have been arrested
for traffic violations or other
misdemeanors. There have
also been widespread complaints about Immigration
and Customs Enforcements
Secure Communities program, which uses fingerprints
collected in state and local
jails to identify illegal immigrants in a federal immigration database.
States have balked at the
program, arguing it requires
them to enforce federal laws.
There have also been complaints that immigrants arrested for simple misdemeanors
can end up in deportation proceedings.

ICE Director John Morton

responded to some critics in
June with a six-page memo
to ICE agents outlining when
and how discretion should be
used. That guidance covered
those potentially subject to a
legislative proposal, known as
the DREAM Act, intended to
give young illegal immigrants
who go to college or serve in
the military a chance at legal
status.
Morton also suggested
that agents consider how
long someone has been in the
United States, whether immediate family members are U.S.
citizens and whether that person has a criminal record.
Napolitano said in her
letter that the policy change
was part of implementing that
prosecutorial discretion.
While advocates and
Democratic
lawmakers
greeted the announcement
with a chorus of approval,
Republicans recoiled at the
policy change.
House Judiciary Committee
Chairman Lamar Smith,
R-Texas, said the shift is the
administrations plan to grant
backdoor amnesty to illegal
immigrants.

Criminals are high priority for deportation

Pentagon study sends wave of fear through military

BY PAULINE JELINEK
Associated Press

WASHINGTON It
sounds like a pretty good deal:
Retire at age 38 after 20 years
of work and get a monthly
pension of half your salary for
the rest of your life. All you
have to do is join the military.
The current system hasnt
been changed materially in
more than 100 years. According
to a Pentagon-ordered study,
the system was designed when
people didnt live as long,
second careers were rare and
military pay was not competitive with civilian pay. Many
skills used by soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines are
now transferable to the civilian
world and that many people
find second careers after retiring in their 40s.
As the nation tightens its
budget belt, the century-old
military retirement system has
come under attack as unaffordable, unfair to some who serve
and overly generous compared
with civilian benefits.
That very notion, laid out
by the study, sent a wave of
fear and anger through the
ranks of current and retired
military members when it was
reported in the news media this
month.
If pensions are to be cut,
Congress should go first, one
person said on the Internet.
Obviously, were concerned about it, said retired
Gen. Gordon Sullivan, an
Army chief of staff in the
1990s who heads the nonprofit
educational group Association
of the United States Army.
The Defense Department

put out a statement this week

stressing that it was only a
proposal and no changes will
be made anytime soon.
While the military retirement system, as with all other
compensation, is a fair subject
of review for effectiveness and
efficiency, no changes to the
current retirement system have
been approved, Eileen Lainez,
a Pentagon spokeswoman,
said. And no changes will be
made without careful consideration for both the current force
and the future force.
The upset was sparked by
a nonbinding recommendation
from the Defense Business
Board, the Pentagons private
sector advisory panel. A July
21 draft report that could be
finalized this month recommended pensions be scrapped
and replaced with a 401(k)type defined contribution
plan.
The board members are
from big businesses experts,
the Pentagon says, in executive management, corporate
governance, audit and finance,
human resources, economics,
technology and health care.
Their report was strictly
about dollars and cents, part of
a review of Pentagon spending started under Defense
Secretary Leon Panettas predecessor, Robert Gates.
It didnt mention intangibles: Would such a change
make military jobs less desirable? Is it possible to compare
military and civilian employment? How much does a grateful nation feel it owes to the
less than 1 percent of the population that volunteers to fight
Americas wars?

The report noted that military retirees start collecting

pensions immediately upon
leaving the service, rather than
at age 65. Thats a benefit
without peer in the private sector, although theres a parallel in government. Some city
police departments start retirement payments immediately,
for instance.
The report also said:
Members of the military
who retire before 20 years
get nothing. Those who work
20 years get pensions worth
50 percent of their pay. That
amount ramps up to 87.5 percent for 35 years of service.
That means 83 percent
of service members dont get
a pension, even after serving
for 10 or 15 years, while 17
percent do get one.
Though the jobs risks
are cited as a reason for keeping the 20-year system, most
troops who see combat dont
stay that long.
Low-cost health care
premiums for retirees on top
of pensions make total retirement benefits significantly
more generous than civilian
programs and more expensive.
The programs costs are
rising at an alarming rate
and future liability will grow
from $1.3 trillion to $2.7 trillion by 2034.
The report recommended a
new mandatory savings system
for all personnel but with the
government making contributions comparable to the highest
level of civilian plans. Thered
be an option for individuals
to contribute too; payments
wouldnt start until age 60 to
65.

Jays tune up for season in style

By JIM METCALFE

jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com

DELPHOS St. Johns

head football coach Todd
Schulte and his coaching staff
were looking for improvement from last Fridays
Elida scrimmage when the
Blue Jays hosted Celina
another Western Buckeye
League team on a beautiful Thursday morning at
Stadium Park.
They got what they wanted.
In their final preseason
scrimmage of 2011, the Blue
and Gold got it going and
routed the Bulldogs 50-10.
Coming off the Elida
scrimmage, we wanted to
see more intensity overall;
the kids did that. We talked about that and the kids
responded, Schulte began.
It was good to see how we
answered when they put our
backs to the wall; that is a
good sign. Obviously, we
still have areas to improve
this is a season-long process
with so many new faces in
the lineup but we made
a lot of strides this week in
practice and today.
The teams went for three
quarters of game situation
and the Jays scored on the
second play on a 76-yard bolt
from senior tailback Chris
Will. Senior Josh Rode added
the conversion for a 7-0 lead
at 11:13 of the first period.
Celina answered with a
25-yard field goal at 5:04 and
then on a 4-yard touchdown
pass at 1:39 for a 10-7 lead.
The Jays then went postal
on the Bulldogs and completely dominated the rest of
the scrimmage.
That was especially true of

Offensive linemen Kent Staup (54), Brice Schulte (67) and Alex Wehri allow quarterback Alex Clark to get free and clear on his way to a touchdown Thursday morning
at Stadium Park. Host St. Johns tuned up for the final time this preseason with a 50-10
scrimmage rout of visiting Celina.
the revamped offensive line.
We know we have a long
way to go but those guys
really stepped it up, Schulte
noted. We want our line to
be able to control the line
of scrimmage and take over
games. We did that last year
and were confident they can
do so this year, especially
because we want to run; it
will just take time for them to
get to that point.
Senior quarterback Alex
Clark found classmate Tanner
Calvelage for a 22-yarder
with no time left in the first
and Rode added the extra
point.
Clark scored the next
two touchdowns in the second quarter via his arm
a 32-yarder to junior Mark

Boggs at 8:03 and his legs

a 3-yard run at 3:24 and
Rodes kicks made it 24-10.
Calvelage then scored on a
25-yard interception return at
3:12 and a Rode kick made it
31-10 at the half.
The Jays scored three
more times in the third: a
37-yard interception return
by senior Garth Lucius setting up a 2-yard Clark run
(missed kick) at 9:40; a
pick by senior Ryan Densel
setting up Clarks 20-yard
scamper (Rode kick) at 7:39;
and a 3-yard run by Will at
5:35 (missed PAT by junior
Andrew Metzger); for the
final score.
Were looking forward
to our opener with LCC,
Schulte added. Two-a-days

are over and we can get into

a regular rhythm now. We do
have some kids banged up
right now we know will play
and were hopeful we can get
them back in the next couple
of days.
The junior varsity was also
dominated by the Jays, getting scoring passes from Ben
Wrasman to Luke MacLennan
(30 yards) and Nick Martz to
Isaac Altenburger (50 yards)
in the 10-play series, as well
as scores from the opponents 15 by Troy Warnecke
(15-yard run), Martz to
Altenburger (15 yards) and
Martz (2-yard run).
Celina scored on a 5-yard
run.
The Jays open 2011 Aug.
27 at Lima Central Catholic.

Braves 1, Giants 0
ATLANTA Mike Minor pitched
six crisp innings to outduel Tim
Lincecum and Atlantas Chipper Jones
homered for the only run.
The Braves appeared to be at a
distinct disadvantage with Minor, filling in with Tommy Hanson on the DL,
going against the 2-time NL Cy Young
Award winner. But Minor (3-2) pitched
brilliantly, allowing just four hits and
one intentional walk while striking out
a season-high nine.
Lincecum (11-10) was no slouch,
surrendering five hits in seven innings
with seven Ks. But the wiry righthander made one big mistake, serving
up a high fastball to Jones leading off
the fifth. He sent a drive soaring into
the right-field seats for 11th homer.

Craig Kimbrel struck out two in

a perfect ninth for his 37th save in
42 chances, breaking a tie with Todd
Worrell for the most saves by an NL
rookie since 1969.
Dodgers 5, Brewers 1
MILWAUKEE Clayton Kershaw
throttled the streaking Brewers with
eight scoreless innings and Rod Barajas
homered, leading the Dodgers to the
victory.
The NL Central-leading Brewers
came in winners of 19-of-21 and were
looking to complete a 7-0 homestand.
But Kershaw (15-5) was tremendous, retiring 13 of his final 14 batters
and never facing serious trouble after
the third inning.
Barajas hit a solo homer in the
second. Los Angeles built a 5-0 lead
by scoring twice in the seventh and
two more in the eighth, the first runs
allowed by Milwaukees bullpen in the
last 10 games.
Brewers starter Marco Estrada
(3-8) allowed one run and three hits in
five innings.
Nationals 3, Reds 1
WASHINGTON Jonny Gomes
hit a 2-run single against his former
team and Jordan Zimmermann pitched
shutout ball into the sixth inning to lead
Washington to the victory.
Nationals catcher Jesus Flores also
had his first home run in more than
two years.
Zimmermann (8-10) allowed six
hits before leaving with runners on first
and second and two outs in the sixth.
Ryan Mattheus came on to strike out
Paul Janish to end the inning. Mattheus
did not face another batter because of a
tight right shoulder.
The Reds scored the unearned run
in the seventh off Henry Rodriguez.
Tyler Clippard worked the eighth and
Drew Storen closed it out for his 33rd
save in 37 chances.
Ryan Hanigan had four hits and
Brandon Phillips finished with three
for Cincinnati. Bronson Arroyo (7-10)
got the loss.
Padres 3, Marlins 1
SAN DIEGO Tim Stauffer
tossed seven strong innings to rebound
from his worst start of the season and
lead San Diego to the win.
Stauffer (8-9) allowed one run
John Bucks 15th homer in the seventh

inning and five hits. The right-hander struck out five and walked one.
Jesus Guzman drove in two runs
for the Padres, who beat Florida for
the 10th time in 12 games. Heath Bell
pitched a perfect ninth inning for his
33rd save in 36 chances.
Florida starter Javier Vasquez
(7-11) allowed three runs and five hits
in six innings. The right-hander retired
his last 14 batters but still dropped to
0-2 with a 2.77 ERA in four starts this
month.
American League
MINNEAPOLIS CC Sabathia
stopped his 2-start losing streak with
nine strikeouts over seven innings and
the New York Yankees hit three home
runs to support him in an 8-4 victory
over the depleted Minnesota Twins on
Thursday night.
The Yankees lead the majors with
163 homers this season, despite only
13 from Alex Rodriguez, who has been
out following knee surgery last month.
Mark Teixeira hit his 33rd, a 2-run
shot in the third, and Nick Swisher and
Andruw Jones hit back-to-back deep
balls in the fifth inning against Brian
Duensing (8-12). Duensing yielded
10 hits and six runs, finishing five
innings.
Sabathia (17-7) gave up four runs
three earned and walked only
one.
Red Sox 4, Royals 3
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Dustin
Pedroia drove in three runs with a pair
of well-timed singles, Josh Beckett
survived a shaky start to go seven
innings and Boston Red got back on the
winning track.
Jason Varitek drove in the other run
for the Red Sox, who had lost five of
their last seven games.
Beckett (10-5) and the Royals
proved to be the perfect matchup to
turn things around. The right-hander
allowed all three runs in the first three
innings to improve to 7-1 in his career
against them his only loss came July
28 in Boston. Jonathan Papelbon made
it through a perfect ninth to extend his
career-best streak to 24 consecutive
saves. It was his 29th of the season.
Luke Hochevar (8-10) labored
through 114 pitches in just six innings
for the Royals.
Indians 4, White Sox 2

CHICAGO Justin Masterson

pitched six effective innings, Kosuke
Fukudome had a tie-breaking RBI triple and the Indians inched closer to the
top of the AL Central with a victory
over the White Sox.
Matt LaPorta hit a 2-run homer for
Cleveland, which pulled within 1 1/2
games of idle Detroit for the division
lead. The Tribe opens a 3-game series
at Detroit tonight.
Paul Konerko homered for the
White Sox, which lost starter Phil
Humber on a scary play in the second
inning. Humber was struck in the face
by Fukudomes comebacker with one
out in the second inning. He fell to the
ground as the ball bounded back to
catcher Flowers.
Humber stood up immediately after
the play ended and appeared to be alert
as the clubs medical staff checked
on him but was removed after a short
delay.
Masterson (10-7) allowed two runs
and seven hits, struck out two and
walked three.
Angels 2, Rangers 1
ANAHEIM, Calif. Rookie Mark
Trumbo hit a game-ending 2-run homer
down the left-field line and the Angels
beat Texas to avoid a 4-game sweep.
After Torii Hunter led off the ninth
with a single, Trumbo hit his 23rd
homer of the season off Mike Adams
(1-2), snapping the Angels 5-game
skid and ending Texas 6-game winning streak with one dramatic swing.
Adams wasted seven scoreless
innings by Colby Lewis, who yielded
four hits and struck out seven while
outpitching Angels ace Jered Weaver.
Horacio Ramirez (1-0) got one out
in the ninth for Los Angeles.
Blue Jays 7, Athletics 0
OAKLAND, Calif. Ricky
Romero pitched a 3-hitter to extend
his career-high winning streak to five
games, Colby Rasmus homered and
scored three times and Toronto beat
the Athletics.
Edwin Encarnacion and Brett
Lawrie had RBI singles while Jose
Bautista doubled and scored in the
fourth when Toronto scored three times
off Oakland starter Trevor Cahill to
break the game open.

National League
PHILADELPHIA John
Mayberry Jr. hit a 2-run homer,
David Herndon tossed three
scoreless innings in relief and
the Philadelphia Phillies beat
the Arizona Diamondbacks 4-1
Thursday night in a matchup of
division leaders.
The major league-leading
Phillies took 2-of-3 in a potential playoff preview, improving
to 14-1-1 in their last 16 series.
Arizona remained 2 1/2 games
ahead of San Francisco in the
West.
A thunderstorm delayed the
game for 2 hours, 17 minutes
after three innings. Neither starting pitcher returned when play
resumed.
Herndon (1-2) gave up one
hit and struck out four to earn
his second career win. Ryan
Madson finished for his 23rd
save in 24 tries.
Ian Kennedy (15-4) gave
up three runs and five hits in
three innings, failing to become
the NLs first 16-game winner.
He had won his previous seven
starts.

Churches ignoring online playgrounds

GILFORD, N.H. -- Everywhere computer

professional Brian Heil looked at SoulFest
2011 he saw packs of young people trying
to stay on schedule as they rushed from one
rock concert, workshop or prayer meeting to
another.
But rst, there was one more text to send,
one more Twitter update to tweet, one more
Facebook status to update, one more snapshot to share, one more YouTube video to upload, just one more connection to make in the
digital world that now shapes real life.
This years festival (Aug. 3-6) drew nearly 13,000 Protestants and Catholics from
throughout New England, which means there
were about that many cellphones, smartphones, tablets and other digital devices on
hand. The screens glowed like reies in the
crowds that gathered for the rock concerts
each night on the lower slopes of the Gunstock Mountain Resort.
Everyones connected everywhere. Its
continuous. This is how our young people
experience life today, said Heil, during his
Protecting the Playground workshop for
parents and youth leaders at SoulFest. They
dont even look at the keys on their phones
anymore when texting. ...
Lots of kids are more comfortable texting than they are talking and having real

TERRY MATTINGLY

On
Religion
relationships. They have trouble with faceto-face intimacy because theyre so used to
living their lives online and in text messages.
Texting feels safer.
But the harsh reality is that the digital
world is not safer, stressed the 52-year-old
Heil, who has a quarter of a century of experience as digital networker and designer.
While many pastors and parents have heard
horror stories about children straying into
dark corners online, few are aware of just
how common these problems have become
-- even in their sanctuaries and homes.
This is the kind of danger and sin that religious leaders often fear discussing, precisely
because these realities have not remained
bottled up in the secular world. Thus, Heil
urged his listeners to ponder the following
statistics in his presentation, drawn from
mainstream research in the past year:

* Two-thirds of Americans under the age

of 18 have reported some kind of negative
experience while online. Only 45 percent of
their parents are aware of this.
* Forty-one percent of children say they
have been approached online by some kind
of stranger, possibly an older predator.
* At least 25 percent of children report
having seen nude or disturbingly violent images online. Heil is convinced this number
has risen to 45 percent in the past year or
so. The vast majority of children exposed to
pornography rst see these images on a computer in their own home.
This is why, if I could convince parents
to make one change in their homes, it would
be to never put a computer behind a closed
door. ... Keep them out in an open part of the
house, he said.
* Among teens, 45 percent report having sent or received a sexual text message
of some kind. One in ve say they have sent
or received a nude or partially nude image,
the phenomenon that has become known as
sexting.
* Among teens with Internet access, 40
percent say they have been affected by cyberbullying activities, such as malicious
changes being made to their Facebook pages
after the theft of passwords.

There are Christian kids doing this, said

Heil, talking about various forms of cyberbullying. Young people just go online and
they open up. Things get emotional and they
share whats on their hearts. They just cant
help it. Then, before they know it, things can
get mean and kids get hurt.
Meanwhile, he said, its getting harder
for adults to monitor whats happening in
this dark alley, in large part because young
people are so much more skilled at social
media than the adults who are paying for
all of those smartphones and laptops. Many
adults also fear legal complications if they try
to trace their childrens steps online. Some
church leaders -- with good cause -- fear getting involved in social media and having the
young misinterpret their motives.
Apathy is not the answer, however, since
children are getting hurt.
Its hard to do happy talk about this issue, Heil admitted. Its painful and its
hidden and its dark stuff. ... This is a test of
whether our relationships really mean anything in the church today, whether there is
such a thing as accountability.

Journalism Center at the Council for Christian Colleges

Feds bust Iraqi-Mexican drug operation in Calif.

By JULIE WATSON
Associated Press

SAN DIEGO Federal officials said

Thursday theyve busted a drug trafficking
ring involving Mexicos most powerful cartel
and members of an Iraqi immigrant community in the U.S. who were caught selling
illegal drugs, assault rifles, grenades and
homemade explosives.
About 60 people from the Iraqi community
were arrested after a six-month investigation carried out by the Drug Enforcement
Administration and police in the city of
El Cajon, a working-class city east of San
Diego.
Many of the suspects are Iraqi Chaldeans
Christians who fled their homeland amid
threats from al-Qaida and other extremists.
Police say at least some of those arrested
are suspected of being affiliated with the
Chaldean Organized Crime Syndicate, an
Iraqi gang based in Detroit.
Authorities say the suspects were working
out of an Iraqi social club in El Cajon and
shipping drugs supplied by Mexicos powerful Sinaloa cartel to Detroit, home to the largest Chaldean population in the United States,
according to the federal indictment unsealed
Thursday. El Cajon has the second largest

Chaldean population.
Officials were tipped off after neighbors
and even some of the club members spouses
complained for years about the establishments criminal activity, which has included
attempted murder, sales of meth and marijuana, gambling and illegal firearms sales.
Authorities seized 18 pounds of methamphetamine, narcotics, cocaine and other
drugs; more than 3,500 pounds of marijuana;
$630,000 in cash; four IEDs; and more than
30 guns, including assault rifles.
In April, a DEA undercover operative was
shown a hand grenade by one of the Iraqis and
was told additional grenades were available
from a Mexican military source.
Officials believe the weapons and explosives were meant to be sold locally and there
were no indications the group was supplying
Mexicos most violent cartel with weapons
for use in that countrys drug war, which has
claimed at least 35,000 lives.
William R. Sherman, acting special agent
in charge in the DEAs San Diego division,
said the ring was going to sell a portion of
the 3,500 pounds of marijuana, believed to
belong to the Sinaloa cartel led by Joaquin
El Chapo Guzman, who has become one
of the worlds richest and most-wanted men
since he escaped from a Mexican prison 10

Oil spill cleanup will last into fall

By MATTHEW BROWN
Associated Press

BILLINGS, Mont. The

cleanup of a major oil spill
in the Yellowstone River has
proven more difficult than
expected and could go on
for several more months, an
Exxon Mobil Pipeline Co.
executive said Thursday.
Areas hit hardest by the
July spill should be cleaned
up by the first half of
October, company vice president Geoff Craft said. That
includes a 20-mile stretch of
the Yellowstone stretching
from the spill site near Laurel
downstream to Billings.
But scattered sites still
would need to be dealt with,
including contaminated river
sections downstream of
Billings and two large islands
in the heavily impacted area.
Work in those areas could
continue until Thanksgiving,
Craft said.
Slowing the cleanup effort
has been the painstaking task
of removing crude from hundreds of debris piles deposited
by the same spring floodwaters that are widely believed
to have triggered the 12-inch
pipelines failure. Also, the
energy company did not want
to bring in more workers than
necessary to avoid trampling
the riverbank, Craft said.
Nobody would have
guessed how hard it would
be, Craft said. We dont
want to do more harm than
good by bringing in too many
people or too many vehicles.
... Its very labor intensive.
Within days of the
1,000-barrel spill, Exxon
Mobil was ordered by the
Environmental Protection
Agency to complete its remediation work by Sept 9. But
officials said Thursday that
date was not intended as a
hard deadline.
EPA on-scene coordinator Craig Myers said the
cleanup is much more dic-

tated by progress in the field

instead of a date on the calendar. Myers added that final
approval of the work done
by Exxon Mobil would have
to come from Montana officials.
About 1,000 people are
involved in the effort to mop
up the spill, including roughly
850 Exxon Mobil employees and contractors working
along dozens of miles of riverbank.
Because the river was
flooding when the pipeline failed, the spilled crude
spread deep into the woods
and across agricultural fields,
making it difficult in some
cases to find and remove.
On Thursday, crews could
be seen methodically picking
their way through hundreds of
acres of dense underbrush
lopping off oil-stained plants
and tree branches with hand
clippers and then hauling the
material away in plastic bags.
Nearby, a small excavator
was pulling apart a tangle of
logs and branches one of
many debris piles that company representatives said would
have to be sorted by hand
to remove anything stained
with oil.
Despite the slow pace,
state and federal regulators
said significant progress has
been made in the seven weeks
since the spill.
Teams sent out to find oil
are no longer reporting many
significant pockets of pooled
crude that can be recovered,
said Myers. Instead, workers
are concentrating on removing oil-stained vegetation and
the debris piles.
Remnants of the spill likely will linger long after the
crews are gone, said Sandi
Olsen, head of the remediation division of the Montana
Department of Environmental
Quality. But Olsen said any
remaining deposits of oil
were quickly degrading and
unlikely to pose a long-term
threat.

Sacrices needed from

governors to avert oods
By GRANT SCHULTE
Associated Press

LINCOLN, Neb.
Months of historic flooding have governors along
the Missouri River ready to
join forces, but experts warn
that real change will require
unpopular sacrifices and a
new approach to controlling
the nations longest river.
Releasing water from
reservoirs earlier and allowing the river to expand naturally would solve many of
the problems, but theres a
tradeoff: Doing so could push
fishermen out of Montanas
prized streams earlier, force
farmers from the Dakotas to
Missouri to give up land for
floodplains, and limit barges hauling grain and other
goods.
Governors from most of
the eight river states will
meet today in Omaha, Neb.,
to discuss options for keeping the river in its banks.
Brigadier Gen. John R.
McMahon, commander of
the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers northwest district,
also will attend, but agency
spokeswoman Sarah Rivette
cautioned against demanding
sweeping changes based on
one flood season.
The Missouri, which travels 2,341 miles, has been
overflowing for months
because of heavy Rocky

Mountain snowpack and a

rainy spring. Flooding has
forced residents from their
homes, submerged thousands
of acres of farmland, and
rerouted motorists and trains.
Cities, including Omaha,
have spent millions of dollars to protect airports, water
treatment plants and other
facilities.
This is a 1,700-mile
flood extraordinary
and were all frustrated with
it, and so our focus tomorrow
is going to be to get a united
front as Missouri River basin
governors on the operation of
the Missouri River reservoir
system, Kansas Gov. Sam
Brownback said Thursday.
The U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers controls six dams
along the river, from Fort
Peck in northeast Montana to
Gavins Point in the southeast
corner of South Dakota.
Holding less water in
upstream dams would mean
less water for boating and
fishing in upriver states, and
fewer reserves during summer dry periods that could
be hard for wildlife, worsen
dry-year drought conditions
in Kansas and Nebraska,
severely limit barge traffic
and reduce hydropower generation, said Tim Cowman,
director of the Vermillion,
S.D.-based Missouri River
Institute, which studies the
river basin.

years ago.
Officials say the Chaldean syndicate has
historical ties to the Sinaloa cartel but they
said they did not know the origins of those
ties.
Over the past two decades, Mexican migrant
smugglers helped many of the Chaldeans
reach the United States. The descendants
of the ancient inhabitants of Mesopotamia
what is now Iraq fled their homeland
to escape persecution for their Christianity.
Hundreds passed through Tijuana on their
way to California.
About half of the 60 arrested face federal
charges and half face state charges. Some are
also illegal immigrants but officials declined
to say whether they will be deported.
Four indictments were unsealed Thursday
charging nine people with federal narcotics and weapons trafficking charges and the
unlawful possession of various firearms and
explosives. One of the suspects, Nofel Noel
Suleyman, was also charged with engaging
in a continuing criminal enterprise, which
carries a mandatory minimum sentence of 20
years in prison.
Officials said the investigation is ongoing and there could be more arrests. They
declined to go into specifics about the rings
business.

The club had armed guards at high-stakes

card games and its managers were aware of
the criminal activity, demanding a cut of the
money, according to authorities.
The establishments troubles go back to
1998 when police seized illegal slot machines.
Four years ago, authorities identified it as a
hot spot for Iraqi drug deals and two years
later started investigating it for selling weapons and explosives.
Sinaloa has grown bloodier and more
powerful in recent years, controlling cocaine
trafficking on the Mexican border with
California, while expanding eastward to the
corridor between Sonora and Arizona and
waging a fierce battle for Chihuahua state
bordering Texas. That war made the border
city of Ciudad Juarez one of the worlds most
dangerous cities.
In October 2010, Mexico made its largest marijuana bust 134 tons in Tijuana
and said markings on the packages linked the
haul to El Chapo, showing that he was also
running drugs smoothly through a city once
controlled by his archrivals, the Arrellano
Felix gang.
Christians make up more than a third of
the 53,700 Iraqis resettled in the United States
since 2007, according to State Department
statistics.

Foreign workers for Hershey protest Pa. conditions

By MARK SCOLFORO
Associated Press

HERSHEY,
Pa.

Foreign students working at

a candy warehouse protested
conditions and pay Thursday,
chanting on Chocolate
Avenue under streetlights
shaped like Hersheys Kisses,
arguing that they were
employed under the guise of
a cultural exchange but toil
away in what amounts to a
sweets sweatshop. The State
Department said it was investigating.
More than 100 students
gathered in touristy downtown Hershey, home to the
nations second-largest candy
maker, complaining of hard
physical labor, steep pay
deductions for rent that often
left them with little spending money, and no cultural
enrichment. They said their
concerns were met with
threats of deportation.
We have no money, we
have no time and we have no
power, said Yana Brenzey,
a 19-year-old journalism
student from Zaporizhzhya,
Ukraine.
She said she had no idea
that she would be lifting
40-pound boxes or netting
only about $200 a week when
she began working in early

May at the warehouse run

by Westerville, Ohio-based
Exel Inc.
A spokesman for the
Hershey Co. would say only
that the corporation expects
its vendors to treat employees fairly and equitably. An
Exel spokeswoman said the
company was working with
SHS Staffing Solutions of
Lemoyne, Pa., which helped
place the students, to resolve
the situation.
The students earn about
$8 an hour, the same as their
American counterparts, and
were fully informed about
the nature of the work, SHS
spokesman Sean Connolly
said. The company does not
intend to fire the students for
their protest, he said.
We continue to discuss
the concerns they have,
Connolly said. We hope
theres a resolution.
The leader of the Council
for Educational Travel USA,
a nonprofit based in San
Clemente, Calif., that also
helped place the students,
asserted that their motives
werent entirely pure.
Somebody has been circulating a letter that they will
get several thousand dollars
back if they protest and be
a part of this movement,

Reports show troubles of

teen in Fla. school plot
By MITCH STACY
and TAMARA LUSH
Associated Press

TAMPA, Fla. A year

and a half before he was
accused of plotting to bomb
his high school, a shirtless
and shoeless Jared Cano confronted police with a metal
baseball bat when they came
to his apartment looking for
a stolen pistol, which they
eventually found in his bedroom. He was 15 at the time,
but already had several runins with police.
Canos troubled history
is outlined in police reports
released after investigators
uncovered what they say was
a plan to attack the Tampa
school that expelled him.
None of the previous juvenile
charges from burglary to
firearm possession ended
in a conviction.
Yet it appears that this
weeks bomb plot went
beyond angry teenage bluster: Detectives said Cano had
amassed shrapnel, plastic tubing, timing and fuse devices
for pipe bombs. The attack
plan investigators found on
Tuesday was mapped out
minute-by-minute.
Experts say the level of
preparation shows how serious he was.
Ninety-nine percent of
the population who fantasize about harming someone
because they are frustrated, or for whatever reason,
dont actually make plans to
carry it out, said Charles A.
Williams, a Drexel University
psychology professor and
expert on violent youth.
School safety expert
Kenneth S. Trump agreed that
the written plans showed a
high probability that Cano
would have carried out an
attack.
The good news is that
since Columbine we still see
kids coming forward to report
the threats and the plots, such
as in this case, said Trump,
president of Cleveland-based
National School Safety and
Security Services.
Tampa investigators were

tipped off Tuesday that Cano

was plotting to bomb Freedom
High School, and they thought
the information was plausible
enough to search the apartment where he lived with his
mother. Canos past run-ins
with the law had earned him
a court-ordered curfew and a
place on a police watch list.
Weve been very, very
familiar with him, police
Maj. John Newman said.
Police have declined to say
who tipped them off.
Before this week, Canos
most recent arrest came when
he was accused in March 2010
of breaking into a house and
stealing a handgun, Tampa
police said. According to the
police report, the guns owner
who was the grandfather
of Canos friend said the
weapon had three rounds in
the clip.
When police came to his
door, Cano was holding a
metal baseball bat in an
aggressive manner, an officer later wrote in a report.
Officers asked him several
times to drop the bat, but he
didnt so an officer pinned
him against a wall. Officials
discovered the gun Canos
bedroom with the serial number scratched off, the report
said.
In January 2010, Cano was
considered a suspect when
a neighbors screened porch
was broken into. Nothing was
stolen and no charges were
filed.
Before that, police caught
him with a stun gun in 2008,
and he was arrested in 2007
at age 13 for stealing CDs out
of a car.
Cano had been expelled
from Freedom High in 2010.
Reports said that he was being
homeschooled at the time of
his arrest this week, and that
his mother is a Hillsborough
County schoolteacher. He
once told an officer that he
had been diagnosed with
attention deficit disorder. His
parents were divorced, and
his father told a local newspaper that he had not seen his
son for several years.

said CEO Rick Anaya. We

have not gotten any cooperation from the kids. Somebody
is promising them a lot of
money in order to participate
in this protest.
He acknowledged that
the jobs are fast-paced and
involve heavy lifting, but
he said the students knew
what they would be doing.
He said he became aware
of complaints two weeks
ago and sent managers to
Pennsylvania to work out differences.
The students were offered
the opportunity to leave the
job if they were unhappy, he
said.
They are among more than
100,000 college students who
come to the U.S. each year
on J-1 visas, which supply
resorts and other businesses
with cheap seasonal labor as
part of a program aimed at
fostering cultural understanding.
An Associated Press
investigation published in
December found students
who were forced to work in
strip clubs instead of restaurants, others taking home $1
an hour or even less, some
living in crowded apartments
or eating on floors. Members
of Congress have expressed

concern about misuse of the

program.
The State Department is
sending staff to Pennsylvania
to investigate.
The Department of State
takes its responsibilities for
administering the J-1 Visa
Program seriously, spokesman Mark Toner said. It is
our responsibility to ensure
that all J-1 visa participants
are accorded their rights
under all provisions of the
Summer Work Travel program.
Yilmazcan
Cebe,
a
20-year-old civil engineering
student from Ankara, Turkey,
said that his complaints were
met with threats to force him
to pay the remainder of his
housing costs and that he
might be barred from returning to the United States.
We are not real workers, said Cebe, who blamed
a persistent wrist pain on the
tough labor. We are just students.
Student protesters also
came from China, Kazakhstan,
Moldova, Mongolia, Poland
and Romania. They said their
goals were to have all the
companies related to their
employment negotiate on
repaying them and converting their jobs to living-wage
positions.

Va. executes man for raping,

killing elderly woman
By DENA POTTER
Associated Press

JARRATT, Va. A man who raped and suffocated an

88-year-old woman was executed, becoming Virginias first
inmate to be given a lethal injection using a revised three-drug
cocktail.
Jerry Terrell Jackson, 30, was pronounced dead at 9:14 p.m.
Thursday at Greensville Correctional Center.
Asked if he had any final words, Jackson shook his head
and said no under his breath. As he waited for the drugs to be
administered, he tapped his foot as he lay strapped to a stainless steel gurney. The execution team took about 15 minutes
to insert two intravenous lines, one into each arm. Within four
minutes of the lines being inserted, he was pronounced dead.
Jackson was sentenced to death for the 2001 rape and
murder of seamstress Ruth Phillips in her Williamsburg apartment.
Like other states, Virginia recently replaced sodium thiopental with pentobarbital after a nationwide shortage of the
sedative, which is administered before two other drugs that
stop the inmates breathing and heart. Attorneys in some states
have contested the use of pentobarbital, but federal courts have
ruled the change is not significant enough to stop executions.
Pentobarbital has been used in two dozen executions this
year, according to the Death Penalty Information Center.
Richard Phillips, who found his mother dead on Aug. 26,
2001, said the execution was long overdue. Neither Phillips
nor other members of the victims family witnessed the execution.
Ruth Phillips, a widow for 30 years, followed her son to
Virginia from New Hampshire in the late 1990s. She worked
as a seamstress making slip covers and draperies up until her
death. Richard Phillips said he had wanted her to move close
to him so she would be safe.
Authorities say Jackson broke into her apartment. When
she awoke and found him rummaging through her purse, she
offered him anything if he would leave. Instead, he put a pillow
over her face and raped her, according to authorities.
