Jennings prepares to turn 200

BY ALEX WOODRING awoodring@delphosherald.com FORT JENNINGS Fort Jennings will celebrate its bicentennial this weekend, as well as commemorate the War of 1812. The village, which borrows its name from U.S. Colonel William Jennings, was home to a supply fort during the War of 1812. Now, 200 years later, the town is ready to celebrate its storied history and community. The celebration is 200 years in the making and took more than two years in planning. We started planning for this over two years ago, said one of the head planners, Jim Dickman. This isnt something we threw together; we have been working on it for a long time. The weekend-long celebration has been the culmination of hard work from Dickman and many others. How we planned was by forming committees and each committee was in charge of their specific task, he said. Dickman also went into multi-layered reasons for the weekend. Yes, the main focus and purpose of the weekend is to celebrate the 200th anniversary of our community but also we just want people to have fun. We want anyone from anywhere to be able to come and have a good time. Above all, however, we want to honor the troops, he said. For example, we have a Huey 369 helicopter that will be on display. This is to honor the veterans of the Vietnam War and of course the we want to honor the veterans of the War of 1812 as well as all military conflict. The Chained Eagles of Ohio will honor those lost in the Vietnam War with the Ohio POW/MIA Vietnam Wall Display at the old high school, as well. Both of these are to give the veterans of Vietnam the welcome home they never got. Going back further in history will be the War of 1812 reenactment. On Sunday, those in attendance will get the chance to step back into the year 1812 and witness how life was for those who fought in the second battle for independence. They will really give us a feel for life in the fort that was right here in our town, Dickman stated. It should be fun and interesting. Other highlights include the Motor Madness Weekend that will take place during the bicentennial. They decided that this year they would combine Motor Madness with the bicentennial, said Dickman. That is always a good time if you are in to that sort of thing. There will be a cruise in Friday and then Saturday night will be the lawn mower races. Those are crazy. They really go all out on those things. The committee has something special for those who

HERALD
Delphos, Ohio want to remember the celebration and how it came about. We wanted to make something that people can buy and take with them that way they will have something to remember it by, said Dickman. So we made a really nice video that highlights some of the Fort Jennings heritage. The video features rare 8-mm footage of Fort Jennings from home videos and commercials made by local businesses. The DVD also includes interviews of familiar Fort Jennings residents and their stories. It will be for sale at the bicentennial for $20. The money for the video will help fund bringing in the Huey Helicopter. See the schedule of events on page 3.

Memorial Hall: Restoring history and heritage

BY ALEX WOODRING awoodring@delphosherald.com FORT JENNINGS Dr. Wess Klir is a lover of history and heritage. This is why he and many others strived to save the historic Jennings Memorial Hall. It was built in 1916 to serve as a municipal building, civic center and a memorial to those who fought in the War of 1812. The building was constructed thanks to financial support from the township, the village and the state. The building is remembered mostly for hosting wedding receptions and high school proms. The hall also used to be home to the library and an abundance of memories. However, when the American Legion was built, most weddings were moved out, the library was moved to the old school and the building closed. The doors were closed and it essentially just sat completely unused except for various storage, Klir said. In 2011, Klir felt called to do something for the building that used to be full of life. However, five years of vacancy would make it a daunting task. The whole building needed remodeling. Not just small repairs. It was something that needed to be more than just government assistance; it needed to be more. It needed volunteers, he said. One of the biggest inspirations came from the bicentennial. It was a big task but the bicentennial garnered excitement to get the work done. With celebrating a town that has its foundations in the War of 1812 and having a building built to honor those who fought in that war, it is hard to imagine a festival to commemorate a 200th anniversary when this building isnt being used for anything, he said. So, with more than five years of no upkeep and a wreck of a building, the bicentennial and a desire to see life brought back to this building, our group of dedicated people got together to get this project done. This building has the history we want for this festival. As with any project one of the biggest concerns is money. It didnt cost the town anything, Klir proudly stated. The 20 or so of us have been working off donations and volunteers. It is all dedications and all hard work. The Historic Jennings Memorial Hall will host an array of events during the Fort Jennings Bicentennial celebration. Klir said the halls future beyond the event lay with the community. My goal is to have something presentable to the community, then the community can evaluate it for themselves. We want people to help decide what the future should be. We hope that all will have a use for it. It is all for not if this building isnt used. We want to see it continue to live past just one weekend. We will let the community decide how to do that. The bicentennial schedule includes a heritage dinner and dance on Friday. The dinner starts at 6 p.m. with the dance to follow from 8-10 p.m. Tickets are $10 per person. A War of 1812 period band Fiddlesix will provide music. The buffet will also serve food that was common during the War of 1812. Period attire is optional. Throughout the evening, members of the 1812 reenactment will give the event a true 1812 feel. The proceeds will go to help provide food for actors. This event will be significant as it will be the first the hall hosts in 30 years. Tickets can be reserved or purchased at the door. Saturday at 11 a.m. will be a rededication with a brief ceremony. The entire facility will be open for public viewing which includes the Military Museum. The museum will be open Sunday as well. Saturday afternoon, the hall will hold a fort-building contest for children, as they attempt to redesign the Fort Jennings fort as they

City school raises lunch prices

BY NANCY SPENCER nspencer@delphosherald.com DELPHOS Students, teachers and administrators will pay more for lunch at Delphos City Schools this year. The school board voted unanimously Monday to raise lunch prices 10 cents across the board to meet a federal mandate which states the price of a paid lunch with the state reimbursement must equal the reimbursement for a free lunch. Districts must raise their prices 10 cents per year until the two meet. Prices are now $2.10 for elementary students; $2.35 for middle and high school students; and $2.60 for adults. This is the first increase at the city schools in two years. Jefferson Middle School Social Studies teacher Jeff Stant presented a proposal for eighthgraders to take an educational trip to Washington, D.C., yearly beginning in May 2014. Stant, board members Joe Rode and Michael Wulfhorst and Janice Ditto prepared the presentation for the trip. Stant handed out sample itineraries from area schools who take a similar trip and information from K&K Tours of Celina. He said the group has done as much as they can without board approval to move forward. We have gathered all the information and looked into tour companies for the most reasonable price and now we need board approval to organize fundraisers and take this to the next step, Stant said. The board did not make a decision on the trip at Mondays meeting. Reiter Dairy will again provide the district with milk, beating two other competitors for the bid with fat-free chocolate at 20.8 cents per gallon; 1 percent white milk at 16.25 cents per gallon; skim milk at 18.95 cents per gallon; and fat-free

experts: Penn state warning is serious

By KAtHY MAtHeson Associated Press PHILADELPHIA An accreditation warning issued to Penn State is serious and necessary given the issues raised by a recent child sexabuse scandal, but the school is unlikely to lose the allimportant designation, experts said Tuesday. They also expect the university to comply quickly with demands to show that its governance, finances and integrity meet standards set by its accreditation agency, the Middle States Commission on Higher Education. This is an entirely appropriate and anticipated action by Middle States given the strategic importance of voluntary peer review, said American Council on Education president Molly Corbett Broad. Its really the basis on which public accountability is achieved in American higher education. The Philadelphia-based Middle States Commission issued the warning last week based on the schools handling of molestation allegations against Jerry Sandusky, a former assistant football coach convicted in June of sexually abusing 10 boys. Concerns include whether Penn State trustees provide sufficient oversight of the administration, the strength of the universitys ethical standards and the schools compliance with government policies, such as those requiring campus crime reports, said Middle States spokesman Richard Pokrass. The commission also wants the school to address its financial status in light of a $60 million penalty imposed by the NCAA and any lawsuits from Sanduskys victims. Penn State must submit a report to the agency by Sept. 30. A small team of accreditors would then visit the school in State College. The university has been very cooperative, Pokrass

UN panel concludes war crimes perpetrated in Syria

GENEVA (AP) Syrian President Bashar Assads forces and pro-government shabiha fighters have perpetrated war crimes and crimes against humanity on Syrian civilians, a U.N. expert panel concluded today in a report that provides in chilling detail further evidence of a conflict spiraling out of control. The panel appointed by the U.N.s 47-nation Human Rights Council blamed the government and allied militia for the killing of more than 100 civilians in the village of Houla in May, nearly half of them children, and said the murders, unlawful killing, torture, sexual violence and indiscriminate attacks indicate the involvement at the highest levels of the armed and security forces and the government. The panel also concluded in its final report today to the Geneva-based council that anti-government armed groups committed war crimes, including murder, extrajudicial killings and torture, but at a lesser frequency and scale. Its release came hours after a bomb exploded in the Syrian capital of Damascus outside a hotel where U.N. observers are staying. The bomb was attached to a fuel truck and wounded at least three people, Syrian state TV reported. Activists also

Thousands flocked to Athens pool

ATHENS (AP) The Athens Community Center pool has been very popular this summer. Temperatures around triple digits and storm-caused power outages helped hike typical usage. The Athens Arts, Parks and Recreation department says on an average summer day, some 300 people visit the pool. But that number more than tripled on several days in early July.

said Tuesday. The leadership of the university is aware of what the concerns are and have been taking very positive steps. Penn State is now one of about 15 schools in the MidAtlantic region with a warning. Most institutions work their way off warning status within a year to 18 months, Pokrass said. Those that dont are put on probation. Schools lose accreditation after two years of noncompliance, starting with the warning. Students cannot use federal funds including Pell grants and government loans to attend unaccredited schools. Penn State stressed that it remains accredited and that academic programs are not being questioned. This action has nothing to do with the quality of education our students receive, Blannie Bowen, vice provost for academic affairs, said in a statement.

Ohio shelter will stop gassing dogs

LANCASTER (AP) After months of emotional debate and protests, a central Ohio county will no longer be euthanizing stray dogs with carbon-monoxide gas. Fairfield County commissioners voted Tuesday to switch to lethal injection, which is seen as more humane. The shelter said it had been using gas because it was cheaper. The change puts Fairfield County among the majority of Ohios 88 counties. Animal-welfare organizations and the Ohio County Dog Wardens Association say fewer than a dozen shelters still use gas. The emotional issue culminated in protesters holding signs in front of the county courthouse this past week calling for the change. The Lancaster EagleGazette reports that the county southeast of Columbus euthanized 578 dogs in 2011.

TOLEDO (AP) Police say theyve arrested three men in connection with last weeks shooting of two small children in a Toledo apartment. The suspects, two age 20 and one 18, were charged with obstructing justice. A court document related to the arrest of one of the men said he gave false information to police after the Thursday night shooting that left a 1-year-old girl dead and her 2-year-old sister seriously injured. Nobody has been charged yet with firing the shots into the sliding glass door of the apartment, striking the children in the living room.

US launches immigration plan

By ANDRES GONZALEZ and ALICIA A. CALDWELL Associated Press WASHINGTON Young illegal immigrants are scrambling to get passports and other records in order as the Homeland Security Department starts accepting applications to allow them to avoid deportation and get work permits. Homeland Security announced the details Tuesday of what documents illegal immigrants would need to prove that they are eligible for the Obama administrations Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. The announcement came a day before U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services was set to begin letting people apply for the program. Hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants potentially could benefit from the program, which President Barack Obama announced in June. The program is beginning just months before what promises to be a tight contest for the White House in which the Hispanic vote may play an important role. Obama has come under fire from Hispanic voters and others who say he hasnt fulfilled a previous campaign promise to overhaul the nations By JULIE PACE Associated Press immigration laws. The policy change could stop deportations for more than 1 million young illegal immigrants who would have qualified for the failed DREAM Act, formally the Development, Relief and Education of Alien Minors Act, which Obama has supported in the past. Republican lawmakers have accused Obama of circumventing Congress with the new program in an effort to boost his political standing and of favoring illegal immigrants over unemployed U.S. citizens. Some, including House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith, R-Texas, have called the policy backdoor amnesty and said they worry about fraud. While potentially millions of illegal immigrants will be permitted to compete with American workers for scarce jobs, there seems to be little if any mechanism in place for vetting fraudulent applications and documentation submitted by illegal immigrants, Smith said Tuesday. At the Honduran Consulate on Tuesday, a line of people wrapped around the building before it was open for business, and the office was crowded for much of the day. Evelyn Medina, 23, got in line at about 6:30 a.m., and she wasnt alone. With her

IT WAS NEWS THEN

One Year Ago It was the All-Stars versus Public Safety Saturday evening during the Delphos Optimist 2011 Respect for the Law All-Star Game in the Jefferson Middle School gymnasium. The All-Stars won 104-37. Other activities included tours of fire trucks and a K-9 demonstration. 25 Years Ago 1987 The annual Firemens Picnic will be held Saturday and Sunday at Waterworks Park. Activities will include bingo, refreshments, games of chance, childrens rides and games, said Delphos Fire Chief Don Schimmoller. Entertainment will be by Southern Breeze Band. Band members are Chris Rode, Larry Etzkorn, Greg Roehm, Bruce VanMetre and Butch Prine. Lakeside Pharmaceuticals, a division of Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals Inc., recently recognized Kay W. Rasmus as a winner of their 1986 Presidents Award, given annually to sales representatives for outstanding total job performance. She is the former Kay Westrich, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Mel Westrich of Delphos. Winners of the league and tournament in the high school girls league this year were the Sroggers. Team members are Diana Adams, Sue Friemoth, Jennifer Knebel, Nikki Miller, Kim Shafer, Rachel McBride, Jodi Kohorst, Nikki Wellmann, Darlene Bonifas, Elaine Wrasman, Bev Fisher, Louise Miller, Chris Schleeter, Cindy Alder and coaches Dave Ricker, Dave Wieging and Brent Wells. 50 Years Ago 1962 Mary Jane Tylor, 16, of Findlay, was chosen as Miss Van Wert Camera Club during the summer model shoot held Sunday at the Meadow Land Farm, east of Van Wert. Approximately 25 models from the area were vying for the coveted title, while 50 area photographers were enjoying their work. The shoot was sponsored by the Van Wert Camera Club. The Converse Community Garden Club met Aug. 2 at Olive Chapel Methodist Church recreation room. This was the first time club members sponsored a flower show with workshop. Mrs. William Foster of Spencerville was the guest for judging and arranging. A regular meeting of the board of directors of the Delphos Country Club, Inc. was held last Tuesday evening at the clubhouse northwest of Delphos. R. B. Rozelle, treasurer, was named by the board to fill the unexpired term of Robert Hanshumaker, who recently resigned as a member of the board. 75 Years Ago 1937 An important meeting of the Tri-County Sportsmen and Farmers Protective Association will be held Aug. 18 at the Idlewild Clubhouse on the banks of the Auglaize River east of Delphos. Final plans for the banquet were made Friday night when officers of the association held a meeting. Al Gilden of near Delphos, is president of the association; Ray Redd, South Pierce Street, is treasurer, and James Counsellor, South Franklin Street, is secretary. Local people will be interested in an announcement concerning Rev. Fr. V. H. Krull, pastor of the Ottawa Catholic Church, who is well known here. Rev. Father Krull was recently honored with an honorary membership in the Eugene Field Society. The honor was conferred in recognition of his volume Christian Denominations, and other writings. Delphos Eagles will attend the National Convention at Chicago in full force Sunday. The local delegation will leave on a special car on the Pennsylvania at 2:15 a.m. Sunday. The Delphos Eagles Band, under the direction of W. G. Point, will march in the parade as the official musical organization of the 17th district.

Pentagon says Iran is training militia in Syria

WASHINGTON (AP) U.S. defense officials are accusing Iran of increased meddling in Syria, including efforts to bolster its flagging armed forces, who are weary after 18 months of war. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said Iran is building and training a militia to help President Bashar Assads regime battle the rebel fighters trying to topple him. The Iranian efforts, said Panetta, will only add to the killing going on in the country and bolster a regime that we think ultimately is going to come down. Sitting alongside Panetta at a Pentagon news conference Tuesday, Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said the militia, which is generally made up of Syrian Shiite forces, is being used to take the pressure off the Syrian regime forces. Any army would be taxed with that kind of pace, Dempsey said. They are having resupply problems, they are having morale problems, they are having the kind of wear and tear that would come of being in a fight for as long as they have. Dempsey said that it appears Syrian rebels were able to shoot down a Syrian warplane but said he has seen no indication that they are armed with heavy weapons or surface-to-air missiles, at least not yet. He says the MiG fighter could have been shot down with small arms fire. Syria has blamed the crash on a technical malfunction, but Dempsey said the cause didnt appear to be mechanical. Dempsey and Panetta voiced concerns about Irans growing presence in Syria even as President Bashar Assads regime steps up its aerial attacks against the rebel forces. Fierce fighting and attacks from warplanes and helicopter gunships have pushed the opposition forces back on key fronts, such as Aleppo.

Obama campaign exposing Ryan budget at state level

WASHINGTON President Barack Obamas campaign is launching statespecific efforts to target elements of Paul Ryans austere budget proposals, expanding beyond its opposition to the Republican vice presidential candidates Medicare overhaul. The Democratic campaign is mobilizing its vast network of staffers and volunteers in key states to highlight Ryans proposals to cut funding for veterans care, clean energy and education and link presumptive GOP nominee Mitt Romney directly to them. Democrats say those cuts would be just as damaging as Ryans proposed overhaul of Medicare, the popular federal health care program that serves tens of millions of seniors. The Obama strategy comes as Romney and Ryan make clear they plan to campaign aggressively on Medicare, not run away from it. In person and in a television ad, the Republicans argued Tuesday that Obama is the one who cut spending for Medicare to put money toward his divisive health care overhaul. In states with large military and veteran populations Florida, Ohio and Virginia among them the Obama campaign plans to attack Ryans proposed cuts for veterans benefits and care, a campaign official said. The official was not authorized to discuss the campaign strategy publicly and requested anonymity. In Colorado, Ohio and Iowa, the campaign sees opportunities to capitalize on Ryans proposed cuts to clean energy industries that are taking hold in those states. The Obama team will argue that cutting those investments would essentially cede new energy technologies and the jobs that could come with them to countries like China, the official said. In Nevada and several other states, the campaign plans to push the impact of Ryans budget on education, citing estimates that it would cut 200,000 children a year from Head Start, an early education program, and reduce Pell grants for 10 million college students. The campaign launched an ad Tuesday in five states Colorado, Iowa, Nevada, Ohio and Virginia that links Romney directly to the Ryan budgets impact on college grants. Obamas team may launch other paid advertising on elements of Ryans budget soon.

passport in hand, Medina was all smiles as she walked out of the building just before 2 p.m., saying Finally as she clutched the document. Medina, a Maryland college student studying social work, said she expected to be ready to apply today. If she is allowed to stay in the U.S. and work, she hopes eventually to earn a masters degree. The administration plan is to stop deporting many illegal immigrants who were brought to the U.S. as children. To be eligible, immigrants must prove they arrived in the United States before they turned 16, are 30 or younger, have been living here at least five years and are in school or graduated or served in the military. They also cannot have been convicted of certain crimes or otherwise pose a safety threat. Under guidelines that the administration announced Tuesday, proof of identity and eligibility could include a passport or birth certificate, school transcripts, medical and financial records and military service records. The DHS said that in some instances, multiple sworn affidavits, signed by a third party under penalty of perjury, also could be used. Anyone found to have committed fraud will be referred to federal immigration agents, the department said.

Moderately confused

WASHINGTON The legendary Cosmo Girl, Helen Gurley Brown, has died and with her, one hopes, a not-sofabulous legacy. This would be the demonstrably ridiculous notion that women can have it all. Whatever it is. In Browns public estimation, the things that mattered were money, career and sex, not necessarily in that order. These were the goals she promoted in a long, successful career based on advancing stereotypical female characteristics and behaviors manipulation, vanity and vapidity. Good manners preclude speaking ill of the dead, but surely HGB would appreciate straight talk in the service of reality. In her own words: I am a feminist ... I am for total equality. My relevance is that I deal with reality. Reality for HGB, born in 1922, was much different than todays, obviously, and any critique of her lifes work necessarily demands homage to context. Women had few options when HGB came along, and blazing new trails required a certain feminine perspicacity gently stirred with guile. Thus, she promoted the idea that women could enjoy sex without marriage (didnt men?), and that women should enjoy the same benefits of work and career as

Death of a salesgirl

But for now, the campaign is focused on getting its message out in local media and directly to voters through its ample grass-roots network, which still trumps Romneys ground game in some states. Despite ramping up new areas of attack, Obamas campaign is still eager to link Romney to Ryans Medicare proposals, both on the national level and in battleground states with a significant number of voters over the age of 65, including Florida, Ohio, Iowa and Pennsylvania. The presidents pollsters wrote in a campaign memo that Ryans Medicare proposals are a game changer in Florida, the battleground state with the most electoral votes up for grabs in November. Romney launched a strong Medicare counterattack Tuesday, accusing Obama of having raided $716 billion from the Medicare trust fund. And you know what he did with it? Hes used it to pay for Obamacare, a risky, unproven federal takeover of health care. And If Im president of the United States, were putting the $716 billion back, Romney said at a campaign stop in Beallsville, Ohio, as he neared the end of a multistate bus trip that began with his weekend selection of a running mate.

Point of View
men. From Browns perspective, empowerment was available to women who used their wiles to get men to relinquish the keys to their kingdom. Thus, the trek from HGBs Sex and the Single Girl to HBOs Sex and the City was a mere evolutionary sprint, though the finish line is not at all clear. If we take seriously HGBs mantra that women can have it all, then she was tragically mistaken, as the stats on single mothers and social pathologies afflicting children confirm. If we do not take HGB seriously a better choice then she was a charming, cheeky shtick artist who turned taped cleavage into an empire. Her trope that good girls go to heaven/bad girls go everywhere, the Mae West quote Brown displayed in her office, was a cute riposte to the laced-up imperatives of Browns Ozark upbringing. It was also the clever badinage of a smart and wily entrepreneur. Just as West commercialized her sexuality, Brown institutionalized the idea that woman as a sex object wasnt

something to avoid but rather to exploit. Cute but not reality, in fact. HGB may have been a full-frontal, girlie siege of sassy talk, but she wrote her blockbuster book, Sex and the Single Girl, at age 40 while married to the man who remained her husband until death did them part. It was, indeed, Browns husband who urged her to write the book, the commercial appeal of which cant have escaped his calculations. I dont necessarily doubt the sincerity of Browns proclaimed feminism. It was of a different order than the subsequent feminism of Betty Friedan and Gloria Steinem, but Browns was prescient in a way. Her use-men-the-way-theyvealways-used-women philosophy foreshadowed todays culture of pole-dancing moms and porn as womens ultimate expression of liberation. While Friedan and Steinem urged women to withhold their favors from exploitative men, Brown implored: Always say yes to sex and take their money. Men will always be men, she seemed to be suggesting, so you may as well use their weaknesses to your advantage. Magazine cover headlines that touted 50 ways to please your man were really Browns way of saying and get what you want. But what do women really

want, as Freud was fond of asking? Nothing much that Cosmo was offering. Like Playboy, which Brown triumphantly parodied with a nude centerfold of Burt Reynolds (and years later, former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown), the message of cheap trinkets and shallow sex is the same. Maxed-out materialism defined the content and the motivating spirit of both venues. HGB may have aspired to help young women who werent blessed with looks or an education lead more interesting lives, as she claimed. But theres no getting there from here. A well-lived life ultimately isnt measured in sexual exploits or stiletto heels or even by a wall of trophies and photo ops. Most adults figure this out, but it isnt clear that Brown, who got breast implants at 73 and lamented her fat tummy at 85, ever did. The most telling line from all the tributes written about her may provide a clue. Brown said she never had children because I didnt want to give up the time, the love, the money. May the Cosmo Girl rest in peace. Kathleen Parkers email address is kathleenparker@ washpost.com.

Susan training Tiny Tim, Game club sets sporting Verena looking forward clay shoots to cousins wedding
BY VERENA EICHER, 14 I decided to write for Mom this week. It has been awhile since I wrote the column. I just came home from de-tasseling corn not too long ago. The corn was extra wet this morning since we got all that rain. I dont really mind de-tasseling corn unless it is really tall. Aug. 11 will be our de-tasseling picnic because we will be done. Tonight I will help sister Susan take our miniature pony that she is training for a ride. She takes it down the road past tractors and big trucks so it gets used to traffic and all noises. Tiny Tim is her newest pony that she is training. He is doing pretty good but he still likes taking us in the ditch once in awhile. I think it is neat to see how different all the pony behaviors are. Tiny Tim has to be trained so it takes a lot of working with him. She had let Lovina and Kevin go play with the pony so he could get used to little children. Dad is going to grill some pork chops and hot wings for our supper tonight. I always like when he grills because it is always so delicious. Mom is going to make noodle soup to go along with it. For Fathers Day we gave Dad a new charcoal grill. He was glad for it because his old one was so wore out. He couldnt shut it down so all the meat would want to burn. Mom was glad to see Dad get the new grill because he likes cooking on it more often. We will probably sit outside and eat while Dad finishes the meat. It always tastes best to eat it fresh off the grill. In September, school will start again. It seems the summer went too fast. I will be entering eighth grade. This will be my last year in school which I am glad. I wont miss the school work but I will miss my friends. I am looking forward to cousin Alberts wedding. He is getting married to Louanna I will get to see all my cousins on Moms side of the family. We dont see all of our cousins as often since we moved to Michigan. I hope they will all be able to make it to the wedding. It is always interesting to see how much everyone has grown. It is so nice to be sleeping upstairs in our bedrooms again since the fire. Susan and I share a bedroom. She painted our walls and ceiling a light green. I like aqua and Susan likes green so I let her choose the color. We still have some organizing to do. We have both been de-tasseling for over a month so we didnt have much time to do it yet. Loretta and Lovina share a bedroom, they both like the color lavender so that is the color of their bedroom. The boys wanted their room blue and Elizabeths is colored burgundy Uncle Jacobs have been preparing for church services at their home, so we have been helping them whenever we can. This is now another day and I want to bake monster cookies and M&M granola bars. Our friend Barb brought us some M&Ms. We will enjoy them. It will be a treat to us because Mom doesnt buy M&Ms often. Sister Susan de-tassled for the last day this year. I am done for this year so I am home helping Mom. We are going to bake bread for church services and can tomato juice today also. Mom also canned salsa this week so we are glad to have salsa again. M&M GRANOLA BARS 2 cups quick cooking oats 1 cup Rice Krispies Half cup brown sugar Half cup honey Three-fourths cup peanut butter Three-fourths cup M&Ms Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix all ingredients in a large bowl. Press into a greased 9 X 13 inch pan and bake 18 minutes. Cool and then cut into squares or rectangles.

Big Green captures Tee-Off Classic
DELPHOS The Delphos Country Club held its 15th annual Tee-Off Classic Monday morning/afternoon, with the defending champion Ottoville Big Green capturing its sixth title. The Big Green placed three golfers under 80: Craig Odenweller 77 (tied for first medalist runner-up), Zach Weber 78 and Derek Schimmoeller 79; to compile a 315 4-man score to defeat second-place St. Johns 332, despite medalist Nick Kaysers 75. I know what Im going to get in my top three and its number 4 through 6 that Ive been focusing on. They all golfed well today, Ottoville head man Jim Brown said. I will take a 315 any day, any time, anywhere all year. Unfortunately, we wont have Luke Schimmoeller (fifth scorer Monday) after this week. He will need wrist surgery, so well need others to pick up the slack. Jefferson was third with a 373, with Nick Gallmeiers 81 leading the way. Fort Jennings had a 389 score, with Kurt Warnecke tying for first runner-up medalist with a 77. St. Johns (1998, 200001, 2006-07 and 2010) and Ottoville (2003-05, 2008 and 2011-12) are tied with six victories in this annual 4-team classic, with Jefferson (2002 and 2009) at two and Fort Jennings (1999) with one.

Brinkmans Jeffcat golfers eye strong 2012

By JIM METCALFE jmetcalfe@dcelphosherald.com DELPHOS The Jefferson golf team finished 2011 10-9 overall, grabbing fifth in the Northwest Conference, under secondyear head man Chad Brinkman. With five lettermen back from that crew, he expects a solid 2012 from the Division III Wildcat linksters. We are a veteran group with team chemistry and high expectations. We get off the tee well, keeping the ball in play, and with some length, Brinkman explained. This team should be led by three veteran seniors: Nick Gallmeier (45.3 stroke average over 9 holes), a third-year varsity man; Tyler Wrasman (48), in his third season; and Jacob Violet (49.6), also a third-year player. As well, a pair of sophomores: Tyler Mox (48) and Ryan Bullinger; are back with a year of varsity under their belts. I look for the three seniors and Carter to set a strong and consistent tone and be most likely to surprise some people; a start that can carry the team into the post season and NWC tournament, he said. With the loss of the graduated Alex Garza, Tyler Miller and A.J. Teman and some others that chose not to go out, Brinkman will look to promising newcomers such as junior Tyler Rice, junior Kyle Berelsman, sophomore Zach Wannemacher and classmate Jacob Hamilton. What we need to work on right now is hitting more greens in regulation and finishing the hole strong when on the green, Brinkman added. We look to be competitive in the Northwest Conference, striving to finish in the top 3. Jefferson has opened its season.

The Jefferson golf unit for the new season has, front from left, Kyle Berelsman, Nick Gallmeier, Tyler Wrasman, Zack Wannemacher and Ryan Bullinger; and standing, Jacob Violet, Tyler Rice, Carter Mox, Jacob Hamilton and head coach Chad Brinkman.

Miller Precision expands into Kongsberg plant

By Ed Gebert Times Bulletin Editor VAN WERT The building has set empty since the last of the machinery from Kongsberg Manufacturing was moved out and sent away on trucks. But now a company is set to move into the 130,000 square foot facility from right next door literally. Miller Precision Manufacturing Industries, Inc. is moving from 1255 Industrial Dr. into the structure that for many years housed Teleflex and later Kongsberg before operations ceased. For Jim and Tim Miller, the move represents a chance at significant growth in the business that dates back to 1988 with a small tool and die operation with outdated equipment. Today, the firm has 85 employees, 12 of those already working in Van Wert. One of the things we like to do is allow for growth, stated Jim Miller at the formal announcement of the move Friday morning. I think it was in October, we were outside and thinking about expansion and how things would go, and we looked next door here and saw the [for sale] sign out front and thought to ourselves, Its crazy to even think that!, remembered Miller. He placed a call to Van Wert Mayor Don Farmer in January to talk about the move. Farmer and City Council President Gary Corcoran met with Miller at the companys home in Ottoville and began to work on ways to make the move into the much-larger building next door. As part of moving to the new building, the company will move its stamping and fabrication division from St. Marys to the Van Wert facility, streamlining operations. After buying the shop in 1988, miller then contracted a building to be put up in Ottovilles Industiral Park in 1994. When in September of 2007 with five employees. It has grown steadily to a dozen workers since that time. Miller stated that he will grow by at least five full-time positions over the next two years earning him the title bestowed by Farmer of the most ultra-conservative predictor of jobs Ive ever run into! At the announcement on Friday, Corcoran praised the Millers for their character and their vision. He remarked, I think you have to be impressed, one, with them as individuals, and two, with them as entrepreneurs in northwest Ohio. Their story is a story that every individual who has a dream and an aspiration to develop an idea and turn it into a business that turns into employment for other people these two guys are the poster child for that kind of an idea. Miller worked with not only city administration, but also the economic development efforts in

Cooper Farms to add St. Ritas Medical Center wins Gold Performance Achievement Award third wind turbine
VAN WERT Cooper Farms Cooked Meats location will begin installing a third wind turbine to further advance their sustainable energy efforts this month. The 1.5 megawatt wind turbine will provide an additional 25 percent of the Cooked Meats locations electricity needs, bringing the total wind-power percentage to 75 percent. Cooper Farms has long been committed to sustainability and environmental preservation. We want to do all we can to have the least environmental impact possible, said Gary Cooper, COO. It is important to us that we take these steps to preserve our natural resources as the opportunities arise. Cooper Farms currently has two 1.5 megawatt turbines at this location, which came online in the first part of 2012. The two turbines provide approximately 50 percent of the companys power needs over the course of a year. The growth of our Van Wert location has enticed us to add this third turbine, said Jim Cooper, the companys CEO. It is just the right move for our company and the environment. When installation of the first two turbines began, they were able to provide 60 percent of the plants power needs. However, two new large pieces of equipment have recently been installed, increasing the locations overall electricity usage. The plant was using 10 to 12 million kilowatts per year, which has now grown to approximately 15 million kilowatts per year. With the first two windmills alone, Cooper Farms is the largest privately-owned generator of net-metered wind energy in Ohio at this time. Cooper Farms will once again work with One Energy of Findlay to complete installation of the turbine. We are honored to have been chosen to work with Cooper Farms as they expand their existing wind power, said Jereme Kent, One Energy general manager. Our goal is to make wind simple, helping companies like Cooper Farms utilize its environmental and financial benefits. We are proud of our partnership and excited to get this new turbine installed and online. Cooper Farms and One Energy will make every effort to utilize local businesses for supplies and Ohioans for the work. Installation of the roadways and groundwork for the turbine will begin this month and installation will be complete by year end. Information submitted St. Ritas Medical Center is being honored by the American Heart Association for the quality of care provided and the impact its having in the Lima community and much of West Central Ohio on reducing morbidity and mortality from ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI). St. Ritas Hospital joins 225 other hospitals in the US and 18 hospitals in Ohio that are receiving an American Heart Association Mission: Lifeline Performance Achievement Award. Additionally, St. Ritas Medical Center joins a very exclusive group as one of the 25 hospitals in the US receiving a Gold Performance Achievement Award. Here are some highlights that exemplify the STEMI care that has led St. Ritas Medical Center to achieve this award: Seventy-nine percent of the STEMI patients who arrive by EMS have had a prehospital 12-lead ECG.

In Ohio only 64 percent receive this guideline recommendation. Overall, 75 percent of patients treated at St. Ritas Hospital have primary PCI within 90 minutes compared to only 65 percent of patients in Ohio. The overall median time is 74 minutes for St. Ritas Hospital compared to 81 minutes for Ohio. Overall the in-hospital unadjusted death rate is 2 percent at St. Ritas Hospital compared to 5.3 percent in Ohio

the county. Miller also applied for a received a $125,000 loan through the City of Van Wert Revolving Loan Fund which was finalized on Friday as well. We are really glad we can provide a facility and that we can help fund the needed resources that they require in order to start utilizing that facility in our community, said Corcoran. This is a facility that was empty, and Jim has made arrangements for his operation to expand into our community, and weve been able through the Revolving Loan Fund to help supply the funds that are needed to make that happen. At this point, the building is being readied to be used. Were currently under construction internally. We are doing some painting of the ceiling, new lights, Miller explained. There is some equipment thats going to start arriving here as early as next week. Were moving some of our stamping operations from the St. Marys location to this facility, and well also be moving some equipment from next door over here. A release from the firm stated that the commitment to delivering a precision product to its customers has allowed Miller Precision to grow. The company offers a full line of precision machining operations, including turning, drilling, tapping, milling, stamping, laser cutting, waterjet cutting, welding and painting. Customers include food equipment, lift truck, medical and automotive industries. Miller on Friday offered praise to the city administration, efforts made by economic development officials, and his own workers. My hat is off to our employees for helping making this all possible as well, he said. Having a quality shop and quality parts going out the door allows us to grow and to do what we need to do.

But it is not uncommon for some women to be so enthralled by a current beau that they neglect their female friendships. Things may normalize in time, but it will require a lot of patience from you. We suggest you put Sarah on standby status for now. Continue to email and text occasionally in order to keep in touch, but dont expect more. Either she will come around or the friendship will fade away naturally. Dear Annie: I applaud your answer to Feeling Inconvenienced, the woman who is uninterested in developing a relationship with her sonin-laws 5-year-old from his first marriage. May I take that answer a step further? Dear Inconvenienced: Your choice will either forge a greater bond with your daughter than you have ever known, or it will create a chasm never to be bridged in your lifetime. Make the right choice. Give this child every bit of unconditional love you are capable of. Not only will you leave a precious legacy for the little one long after you are gone, but you will reap a harvest of inner joy for yourself beyond anything you could imagine. -Grandmother in Azusa, Calif.

BEETLE BAILEY

Tomorrows Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol
THURSDAY, AUGUST 16, 2012 Certain new associations and friendships you make in the year ahead are likely to play major roles in helping you achieve some big goals. A few of these contacts will arise from sheer luck, so keep an eye open for opportunity. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- The only way you are going to be able to advance your self-interest is to be bold when fate requires it. Have faith in yourself and your abilities to get things done. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You have a lot of extra pluses going for you, some you might not even be aware of. However, everything will be there for you the moment you need it. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Agreements you make involving friends will benefit both you and your pals. If you negotiate with an eye on everyones profit, things will work out exceptionally well. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Youre likely to get a marvelous opportunity to strengthen your position in a critical area that has a big influence on your work or career. Dont let it escape you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- By merely doing what you do best, which is getting along well with people from all walks of life, your probabilities for success are considerably enhanced. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -Keep a weather eye peeled on a new development that has possibilities of providing you with a second source of income. It might be revealed to you quite soon. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Your skills as a salesperson or promoter can be considerably enhanced through some type of verbal or written communication. Let your thoughts be known. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Dont be dismayed if you get off to a slower start than you had anticipated. The closer you get to the finish line, the stronger youll become. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- It behooves you to keep all of your lines of communication open, because there is a good chance that you will be hearing from someone who has the good news that youve been waiting for. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Dont get upset if you are subjected to a change that is instigated by an outside force. What occurs is apt to end up being very favorable for you. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Do not waste your time on insignificant matters. Youre likely to be far more fortunate with issues, projects or endeavors that are substantial and meaningful. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -Youre likely to be far luckier in your commercial and financial dealings than you would be with projects or endeavors that are less monetary in nature. Capitalize while you can.

Some below poverty line dont qualify for Medicaid

By CARLA K. JOHNSON and KELLI KENNEDY Associated Press MIAMI Sandra Pico is poor, but not poor enough. She makes about $15,000 a year, supporting her daughter and unemployed husband. She thought shed be able to get health insurance after the Supreme Court upheld President Barack Obamas health care law. Then she heard that her own governor wont agree to the federal plan to extend Medicaid coverage to people like her in two years. So she expects to remain uninsured, struggling to pay for her blood pressure medicine. You fall through the cracks and theres nothing you can do about it, said the 52-yearold home health aide. It makes me feel like garbage, like the American dream, my dream in my homeland is not being accomplished. Many working parents like Pico are below the federal poverty line but dont qualify for Medicaid, a decades-old state-federal insurance program. Thats especially true in states where conservative governors say theyll reject the Medicaid expansion under Obamas health law. In South Carolina, a yearly income of $16,900 is too much for Medicaid for a family of three. In Florida, $11,000 a year is too much. In Mississippi, $8,200 a year is too much. In Louisiana and Texas, earning more than just $5,000 a year makes you ineligible for Medicaid. Governors in those five states have said theyll reject the Medicaid expansion underpinning Obamas health law after the Supreme Courts decision gave states that option. They favor small government and say they cant afford the added cost to their states even if its delayed by several years. Some states estimate the expansion could ultimately cost them a billion dollars a year or more. Many of the people affected by the decision are working parents who are poor but not poor enough to qualify for Medicaid. Republican Mitt Romneys new running mate, conservative Wisconsin congressman Paul Ryan, has a budget plan that would turn Medicaid over to the states and sharply limit federal dollars. Romney hasnt specifically said where he stands on Ryans idea, but has expressed broad support for his vice presidential picks proposals. Medicaid now covers an estimated 70 million Americans and would cover an estimated 7 million more in 2014 under the Obama health laws expansion. In contrast, Ryans plan could mean 14 million to 27 million Americans would ultimately lose coverage, even beyond the effect of a repeal of the health law, according to an analysis by the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation of Ryans 2011 budget plan. For now, most states dont cover childless adults, but all states cover some low-income parents. The income cutoff, however, varies widely from state to state. Most states cover children in low-income families. Manuel and Sandra Picos 15-year-

Fort Hood suspect must Video shows vapor cloud before refinery fire enter pleas before trial
By ANGELA K. BROWN Associated Press By JASON DEAREN Associated Press FORT HOOD, Texas The Army psychiatrist charged in the deadly Fort Hood shooting rampage was expected to plead not guilty to the charges today, less than a week before his murder trial starts, some military law experts said. A military judge ordered a hearing today for Maj. Nidal Hasan, where he must plead not guilty to the 13 counts of premeditated murder he currently faces in the 2009 attack. He is not allowed to plead guilty because the charges carry death as the maximum punishment and the government is pursuing the death penalty in Hasans case. He also is charged with 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder in the attack at the Texas Army post. He is allowed to plead guilty to those charges but seems unlikely to do so because there would be no benefit to him, said John Galligan, a civilian attorney who represented Hasan before leaving the defense team a year ago. Military prosecutors and defense attorneys are barred from discussing the case outside court. Hasan also would be allowed to plead guilty to lesser murder charges that do not carry the death penalty. But that scenario is highly unlikely because efforts to reach a plea deal failed more than a year ago, and plea agreements in such cases usually are not reached at the last minute, Galligan said. The military criminal justice system does not have a set time for a defendant to enter a plea; some do it the day of the trial. Prosecutors also are unlikely to agree to a plea deal now because theyve done all this work on the case thats the worst terrorist attack on U.S. soil since 9/11, said Jeff Addicott, director of the Center for Terrorism Law at St. Marys University School of Law. He is not involved in the Hasan case. Prosecutors have a 265-person witness list for Hasans trial, including a terrorism consultant who says the American-born Muslim meets several factors indicating hes a home-grown terrorist. The judge, Col. Gregory Gross, on Tuesday also refused defense attorneys request to delay the start of the trial again and said it will begin with jury selection as scheduled Monday. He previously delayed the trial from March to June and then to August. Defense attorneys argued in their latest request that they had not been able to look through 26 boxes of documents, including thousands of pages of Hasans medical records and jail logs which prosecutors said they will not use during the trial. Im telling you unequivocally that if we go to trial on 20 August, we will without reservation be providing ineffective counsel for Major Hasan, defense attorney Maj. Joseph Marcee told the judge. RICHMOND, Calif. An internal Chevron Corp. surveillance video shows a towering vapor cloud engulfing an area of its refinery for two minutes before it ignited into a volatile blaze, federal investigators said Tuesday. U.S. Chemical Safety Board officials said the video shows plant workers getting caught within the cloud shortly before the Aug. 6 blaze. More than a dozen workers managed to narrowly escape serious injury. Fortunately those personnel were able to extricate themselves from that cloud, said Don Holmstrom, the lead investigator for the U.S. Chemical Safety Board. The vapor cloud was estimated to be about 150 to 200 feet high, as tall as the refinery tower. The blaze knocked an important refinery unit offline, reducing the facilitys production and sending thousands of nearby residents to hospitals with breathing and eye irritation complaints. Holmstrom said federal and state investigators were still trying to determine how to safely enter the area where the fire started. They want to examine a failed pipe blamed for the blaze, which Chevron chose not to replace nearly a year ago after an inspection. Still, on Tuesday the charred crude unit was too hazardous to enter because of fire damage to structural beams and ongoing hydrocarbon leaks. There are one or more than one of these steel beams that have been compromised by the fire, said Daniel Horowitz, the chemical boards managing director, said. The collapse of that structure is a risk we and others are unwilling to take so we can only approach (to about 10 feet) from the pipe. Investigators said that distance is still too far for them to be able to make any visual judgments about how the pipe failed. In addition to beams that were melted by the hot fire, the area is also being compromised by at least two small hydrocarbon leaks. The leaks pose a possible health concern for investigators, and By MICHAEL VIRTANEN Associated Press have required them to strap on respirators when entering the area. Investigators said the small leaks were not a danger to the nearby community, just to people working in the immediate area. Horowitz said his team is meeting with Chevron today to determine how those leaks can be stopped. Currently, the company is spraying water on the leaks to ensure they dont catch fire. The delays are worsening prospects for Chevrons ability to get the important unit back up and running. Horowitz said it would likely be three-to-four weeks before the damaged pipe can be removed for forensic testing. The conflagration destroyed an area of the refinery that produces a large amount of the gasoline that satisfies Californias cleanair regulations, which are the toughest in the nation. Other parts of the refinery, which supplies 16 percent of Californias daily gas consumption, are still producing fuels. But the refinerys reduced output has sent state gas pric-

Manuel Pico, a carpenter, used to make more than $20,000 a year, but has struggled to find work in the last three years after the real estate market collapsed. He occasionally picks up day jobs or takes care of the neighbors yard. Sandra Pico would like to work full time, but cant afford to pay someone to watch her 34-year-old sister, who has Down syndrome. No matter how hard I work, Im not going to get anywhere, Sandra Pico said. If youre not rich, you just dont have it.

Solis, a single father with joint custody of his 4-yearold daughter, said he works about 25 hours per week at a building supply store making minimum wage and is a full-time college student at the University of Texas-Pan American. He aspires to be a school counselor.

UK bank settles Iran money probe in NY for $340M

ALBANY, N.Y. A British bank accused of scheming with the Iranian government to launder billions of dollars will be subject to two years of monitoring at its New York branch and will permanently install personnel to oversee and audit offshore monitoring as part of a $340 million settlement with financial regulators. StateDepartmentofFinancial Services Superintendent Benjamin Lawsky said Tuesday that Standard Chartered Bank will pay the civil penalty to the state and will strengthen oversight of overseas transactions. Standard Chartered spokeswoman Julie Gibson said a formal agreement with details is expected shortly. The New York announcement, she said, set out the terms of the agreement, including the payment of $340 million. A department hearing on the issue scheduled for today in New York City has been adjourned. The date for the civil payment, which will go to the states general fund, has not been set. Federal Reserve spokeswoman Barbara Hagenbaugh said the Fed continues to work with the other agencies on a comprehensive resolution. The U.S. imposes financial sanctions on political enemies to hinder their access to the global financial system. The goal is to choke off banks and other sources of capital, limiting their economic growth and their ability to buy weapons, food and other items available through global trade. Sanctions ensure that U.S. banks dont get involved. Several other non-U.S. banks with operations in the United States have settled sanctions cases with U.S. authorities in recent years. Dutch bank ING Bank NV agreed in June to pay $619 million to settle charges that it secretly moved billions of dollars through the U.S. financial system on behalf of Iranian and Cuban customers. Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance has been investigating Standard Chartered, with federal partners, for more than a year. His office declined to comment on the settlement. Gov. Andrew Cuomo said the result showed the effec-

es rising higher than normal, analyst said. The average price for a gallon of regular on Tuesday in California was $4.09, up from $3.86 last Tuesday. A key target of the federal investigation is looking at why Chevron had not replaced the decades-old pipe after an inspection last November. Chevron examined the 8-inch line that failed and a larger, 12-inch companion line linked to it last year. But the company decided the line was good for another five years of service. The companion line, which was the same age as the pipe that failed, had been found to be too corroded to remain in service, investigators said. The company has refused to speculate on when the unit will be back operational, but said it is cooperating fully with all of the investigations. Meanwhile, Contra Costa County health officials said Tuesday that more than 9,000 people went to emergency rooms for breathing problems and other health issues that might have been caused by smoke from the fire.

Peterson judge, again, to rule on mistrial motion

By MICHAEL TARM Associated Press

By MICHAEL GRACZYK and JUAN A. LOZANO Associated Press

JOLIET, Ill. A judge today again is poised to decide whether to cut short former police officer Drew Petersons murder trial the third time in as many weeks he is giving serious consideration to declaring a mistrial after a blunder by prosecutors. Their latest misstep came as proceedings seemed to be going the prosecutions way in recent days as they sought to prove Peterson, 58, killed his third wife, Kathleen Savio, in 2004. He was charged after his fourth wife, Stacy Peterson, disappeared in 2007. Judge Edward Burmila seemed unmoved Tuesday by apologies from an attorney for the state after she broached a subject she was told not to mention to jurors raising the possibility the trial could end with the judge letting Peterson go free. Declaring a mistrial and concluding prosecutors intentionally violated his orders could lead to his release though that would be the most extreme measure Burmila could take. Burmila also could declare a more standard mistrial, meaning Peterson would be retried later. The judge also could instruct the jury to disregard what the prosecutor said. If he takes that route, it could still signal to jurors that prosecutors have again messed up, potentially influencing their deliberations. Earlier Tuesday, Burmila had told prosecutor Kathleen Patton not to ask a witness in front of jurors about whether Savio had sought an order of protection against Peterson. When she did, the judge told jurors to leave the room and berated the prosecutor. There was one thing I told you not to go into and thats exactly what you did, Burmila told her. The case has been beset by problems since Savio was found dead in her bathroom at her suburban home. Investigators collected no physical evidence, and authorities initially ruled Savio accidentally drowned. After Stacy Peterson vanished three years later, Savios body was re-examined and her death was reclassified as a homicide. Explaining her mistake Tuesday, Patton told Burmila that the question about the protection order was on a prepared list of questions and that she read it inadvertently. Im sorry, Patton said. Its my fault. I cant believe I did it. During a break, Patton sat in an adjoining courtroom, her shoulders slumped forward, her face buried in her hands, shaking her head. Her boss, Will County States Attorney James Glasgow, stood a few feet away, his head down. The judge had in recent days made several rulings in prosecutors favor, granting them permission to present hearsay evidence central to their case. Hearsay, or statements not based on the direct knowledge of a witness, is usually not admissible in court, but Illinois passed a law in the wake of the Peterson case that allows it in certain circumstances. The mistake also came as Patton was questioning one of the states most compelling witnesses. Former police officer Teresa Kernc had just told jurors about interviewing Savio in 2002 after Peterson allegedly broke into Savios home in a SWAT uniform and repeatedly pushed her to the ground. At one point, Savio allegedly told Peterson, Go ahead and do what you came to do: Kill me, Kernc testified. He said, Where do you want it? And she said, In the head. Kernc testified. Peterson then allegedly told Savio to turn her head, which Savio did, Kernc said, based on what Savio told her. And then he said, I cant kill you, she told jurors. Peterson then threw a garage opener to the ground and left.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas In the months leading up to Mondays shootout near Texas A&M University that killed three, gunman Thomas Alton Caffall III had cut off contact with his family, even though his mother was seriously ill. Caffalls family said the 35-year-old told them he had his own issues, an unspecified mental illness they declined to comment on. On Monday, Caffall opened fire on a law enforcement officer who was trying to serve him with a court summons for being two months behind on rent. The officer was killed. Police said officers shot and killed Caffall during the 30-minute shootout. A bystander also died and four others were wounded; police did not say whose gunfire struck them. It breaks our hearts his illness led to this, Caffalls family said in a statement released through an attorney. Authorities continued their investigation Tuesday, saying Caffall was in possession of multiple weapons and fired numerous times. W. Tyler Moore, the familys attorney, had known Caffall since he was 4 years old. He wasnt the same kid that he used to be, lets just say that, Moore said. He was sweet, very bright, good sense of humor, just a good kid, a sweet kid. Moore said the Caffall he used to know may have surfaced when, just before dying, Caffall offered an apology to the officer he had fatally shot. College Station Police Chief Jeff Capps said Tuesday that Caffall had some long guns and pistols in his home, but would not give details and did not say whether the weapons had been obtained legally. The crime scene is still being processed, Capps said. Capps said he wasnt aware of any previous law enforcement contact with the gunman.

This state and nation are still paying the price for a failed regulatory system, and that must not happen again

tiveness of the states recently formed Department of Financial Services, which combined banking and insurance regulation in one agency. This state and nation are still paying the price for a failed regulatory system, and that must not happen again, he said. Standard Chartered Bank said Monday it strongly rejects and contests the New York regulators portrayal of its transactions with Iranian banks. Lawsky earlier had signed an order that required the London-based bank to answer his questions following an investigation into the practice of removing crucial identifiers in financial transactions,

Gov. Andrew Cuomo

called wire stripping. The state agency called the bank a rogue institution and quoted one of its executives as saying: You (expletive) Americans. Who are you to tell us, the rest of the world, that were not going to deal with Iranians. The bank conspired with its Iranian clients to route nearly 60,000 U.S. dollar payments through its New York branch after first stripping information from wire transfer messages used to identify sanctioned countries, individuals and entities, according to the agencys order. The order said the transactions provided the bank with millions of dollars in fees when such trade was restricted. Lawsky said the scheme left the U.S. financial system vulnerable to terrorists. The bank statement said well over 99.9 percent of the questioned transactions with Iran complied with all regulations and the few transactions that didnt amounted to $14 million. It said none of its Iranian payments was on behalf of any designated terrorist group.
