Doug Wynn with the Ohio Division of Wildlife gave a presentation about snakes
from Ohio at Landeck Elementary on Monday. Wynn has captured thousands of
snakes and shared many adventurous stories. Pictures were shown of the different
snakes that live in Ohio. He brought along a rattlesnake and enticed it to go into a
plastic tube so the children could safely touch it and hear the rattle sound of its tail.
Landeck student Damon Wiltsie is brave enough to touch the snake as Wynn holds
it in a tube.

to the continuing eruption of

Gulf response time
By ERICA WERNER
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — To
hear Obama administration
officials tell it, they’ve been
fully engaged on the Gulf
Coast oil spill since Day One,
bringing every resource to
bear and able to ensure with-
out question that taxpayers
will be protected.
Not quite.
Take President Barack
Obama’s repeated claims that
BP will be responsible for all
the costs associated with the
devastating spill that began
after an oil rig operated by the
company exploded April 20,
killing 11 workers and later
sinking.
“Let me be clear: BP is
responsible for this leak;
BP will be paying the bill,”
Obama said while touring the
area Sunday.
While it’s true that the fed-
eral Oil Pollution Act, enact-
ed in 1990 in response to the
Exxon Valdez spill in Alaska,
makes BP responsible for
cleanup costs, the law caps

US nuclear arsenal shrinking rapidly
By ANNE GEARAN
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP)
— The United States has
5,113 nuclear warheads in its
stockpile and “several thou-
sand” more retired warheads
awaiting the junkpile, the
Pentagon said Monday in an
unprecedented accounting of
a secretive arsenal born in the
Cold War and now shrinking
rapidly.
The Obama administra-
tion disclosed the size of its
atomic stockpile going back
to 1962 as part of a campaign
to get other nuclear nations to
be more forthcoming, and to
improve its bargaining posi-
tion against the prospect of a
nuclear Iran.
“We think it is in our
national security interest to
be as transparent as we can be
about the nuclear program of
the United States,” Secretary
of State Hillary Rodham
Clinton told reporters at
the United Nations, where
she addressed a conference
on containing the spread of
atomic weapons.
The U.S. has previously
regarded such details as top
secret.
The figure includes both
“strategic,” or long-range
weapons, and those intended
for use at shorter range.
The Pentagon said the
stockpile of 5,113 as of
Economic outlook is cautious even with spending up
By MARTIN
CRUTSINGER
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — senting purchasing execu-
Factories are churning out
more goods. Consumers are
spending. Government aid is
fueling construction activity.
But stagnant pay and weak
hiring will likely restrain the
economic rebound in coming
months.
That cautionary picture
emerged from a series of eco-
nomic reports Monday.
Consumers stepped up
their spending in March by the
largest amount in five months.
Yet the increase was financed
out of savings. Incomes rose
only slightly.
Unless employers boost
pay and ramp up hiring, econ-
omists say consumer spend-
ing will likely taper off and
dampen the recovery.
The construction indus-
try remains a concern, too.
Industry spending rose 0.2
percent in March, the first
increase in five months,
Commerce said. But all the
strength came from govern-
ment activity — much of it
related to temporary stimulus
money that’s expected to run
out soon. By contrast, con-
struction by the private sector
fell to the lowest level in a
decade.
One sector that’s helping
drive the recovery is manu-
facturing. Factory production
compared to potential losses.
Administration officials
insist BP will be held respon-
sible anyway, noting that if
the company is found negli-
gent or criminally liable, the
cap disappears. Claims also
can potentially be made under
other state or federal laws,
officials said.
Yet the liability cap is
problematic enough that a trio
of Democratic senators intro-
duced legislation Monday
raising it to $10 billion, and
the administration quickly
announced its support. Sens.
Robert Menendez and Frank
Lautenberg of New Jersey
and Bill Nelson of Florida
voiced concerns that unless
the cap is raised, BP would
avoid paying for the mess and
leave small businesses, local
government and fishermen
with the bill.
“They’re not going to want
to pay any more than what
the law says they have to,”
Nelson said.
That’s not quite the seem-
ingly ironclad guarantee heard
from the president.
Then there’s the adminis-
tration’s rhetoric about antici-
pating the magnitude of the
crisis and bringing all resourc-
es to bear on Day One.
September 2009 represents
a 75 percent reduction since
1989.
A rough count of deployed
and reserve warheads has
been known for years, so the
Pentagon figures do not tell
nuclear experts much they
don’t already know.
Hans Kristensen, direc-
tor of Nuclear Information
Project, Federation of
American Scientists in
Washington, said his orga-
nization had already put the
number at around 5,100 by
reviewing budget estimates
and other documents.
The import of the
announcement is the prece-
dent it sets, Kristensen said.
“The important part is that
the U.S. is no longer going
to keep other countries in the
dark,” he said.
Clinton said the disclo-
sure of numbers the general
public has never seen “builds
confidence” that the Obama
administration is serious
about stopping the spread of
atomic weapons and reducing
their numbers.
But the administration is
not revealing everything.
The Pentagon figure

wood products, the petroleum

reported strong growth.

“We had (Defense
Department) resources there
from Day One. This was a
situation that was treated as
a possible catastrophic fail-
ure from, from Day One,”
Homeland Security Secretary
Janet Napolitano said Sunday
on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
That sense of urgency was
not so apparent when White
House Press Secretary Robert
Gibbs was questioned about
the incident April 23, three
days after it occurred. At the
time he seemed to dismiss
its severity and indicated it
wouldn’t affect Obama’s plans
to open up new areas of the
coast to offshore drilling.
“I don’t honestly think it
opens up a whole new series
of questions, because, you
know, in all honesty I doubt
this is the first accident that
has happened and I doubt it
will be the last,” Gibbs said.
A week later, Obama was
announcing plans for Interior
Secretary Ken Salazar to
review whether new technol-
ogies were needed to safe-
guard against oil spills from
deep-water drilling rigs. The
president said no new off-
shore oil drilling leases would
be issued without any such
safeguards.
Those weapons could, in the-
ory, be reconstituted, or their
nuclear material repurposed.
Estimates of the total U.S.
arsenal range from slightly
more than 8,000 to above
9,000, but the Pentagon will
not give a precise number.
Whether to reveal the full
total, including those thou-
sands of nearly dead war-
heads, was debated within
the Obama administration.
Keeping those weapons out
of the figure released Monday
represented a partial conces-
sion to intelligence agency
officials and others who
argued national security could
be harmed by laying the entire
nuclear arsenal bare.
A senior defense official,
speaking on condition of ano-
nymity because the overall
total is still classified, did not
dispute the rough estimates
developed by independent
analysts.
Exposure of once-classi-
fied totals for U.S. deployed
and reserve nuclear weapons
is intended to nudge nations
such as China, which has
revealed little about its nucle-
ar stockpile.
“You can’t get anywhere
toward disarmament unless
you’re going to be transparent
about how many weapons you
have,” said Sharon Squassoni,
a nuclear policy analyst at
the Center for Strategic and
International Studies.
more than 150 points in after-
noon trading.
But economists cau-
tion that the overall picture
is clouded by a weak hiring
outlook. A report Friday is
expected to show no change
in the nation’s 9.7 percent
unemployment rate.
“The consumer needs job
creation and income growth
to pick up significantly to
maintain the momentum in
consumer spending and we
look to Friday’s employment
report for further evidence of
slow improvement in labor
market conditions,” analysts
for RDQ Economics wrote
Monday in a research report.
The government reported
Friday that the broadest mea-
sure of economic activity, the
gross domestic product, grew
at an annual rate of 3.2 percent
in the January-March period.
That marked the third quar-
terly increase since last sum-
mer. Most economists believe
the recession, which began
in December 2007, probably
ended in either June or July
of last year.
The healthy first quarter
GDP gain was driven by a big
rebound in consumer spend-
ing, which powered ahead at
an annual rate of 3.6 per-
cent, the best showing in three
years. But economists said
spending gains of that size
can’t be maintained with-
out greater income and job
growth.

Crestview clubs Jefferson softball
By FRANK GERMAN
The Delphos Herald
fjohngerman@gmail.com
DELPHOS — Crestview’s
softball team traveled to
Jefferson High School
Monday, hoping to beat the
rain.
They beat the
rain and the Lady
Wildcats by the
score of 10-0 in 5
innings in Northwest
Conference action at
Lady Wildcat Field.
The game started
out with both teams going
scoreless in the first inning.
Crestview then exploded
with a 6-run second inning.
Danica Hicks hit a 1-out sin-
gle to start it off. Mackenzie
Richard drew a walk; Chelsea
Lare walked as well. Taylor
Springer hit a double with
bases loaded to score two.
Jessica Burger, the top of the
order, followed with a 3-run
home run to straightaway cen-
ter field. Holly Genth fought
for a walk with no one on
to start it over. Lydia Etzler
reached on an error. The next
batter hit a fly ball for the
second out. Madison Etzler,
now the 10th person to bat in
the inning, hit a double, scor-
ing Genth and putting Etzler
on third for a 6-0 lead. The
next batter hit a deep fly ball
to center field for the final out
of the inning.
Crestview tacked on three
more runs in the third inning.
Richard reached on an error
to start it off. Lare struck out
but the catcher lost the ball
and had to throw Lare out,
moving Richard to second.
Springer smacked a single,
scoring Richard. The next bat-
ter flied out to center field,
which brought up Genth. She
singled, putting runners on the
corners. L. Etzler smacked a
double, scoring both runners
for a score of 9-0, Crestview.
“Crestview hit the ball very
well and solidly. They hit it
especially well in the second
inning when they got the six
runs,” Jefferson coach Dave
Wollenhaupt commented.
Crestview received one
run in the fourth inning. M.
Etzler singled and stole sec-
ond during another batter’s
attempt. Lare, with two outs,
hit a single, scoring Etzler
from second base and giving
Crestview their final run of
the night for a score of 10-0.
“I was concerned coming
out and being ready to play.
We have not played since last
Thursday with a rainout on
Saturday,” Crestview coach
Owen Pugh opined. “I was
concerned about coming out
and being flat. I think we hit
the ball well but we are still
having some base-running
issues. We also pitched well
and I switched pitchers after
three (innings) to get some
work in with another league
game tomorrow.”
Cecil flirts with perfect game in win
The Associated Press
CLEVELAND — Brett
Cecil felt far from perfect
— except on the pitching
mound.
The Toronto Blue Jays’
left-hander shook off a sinus
infection to take a perfect
game into the seventh inning,
then settled for a 5-1 win
over the Cleveland Indians on
Monday night.
“Baseball-wise, it was a
great night, just awesome,”
Cecil said. “I feel like (gar-
bage). I woke up with a head-
ache and I’m all stuffed up.
Papi (pitching coach Bruce
Walton) said I should get sick
before every game.”
The 23-year-old Cecil
(2-1) allowed one hit over
eight innings, striking out a
career-high 10.
Cecil lost the perfect
game when he walked Grady
Sizemore with one out in
the seventh. He then walked
Shin-Soo Choo but came back
to strike out Austin Kearns
before Jhonny Peralta ruined
the no-hitter and shutout with
one swing. Peralta lined a 2-2
pitch to left field for a sin-
gle, scoring Sizemore to get
Cleveland within 4-1.
Cecil was seeking to pitch
only the 17th perfect game
since 1900 and the first in
Cleveland since the Indians’
Len Barker did it against
Toronto on May 15, 1981.
Toronto’s only no-hitter
was by Dave Stieb, 3-0, over
the Indians at old Cleveland
Stadium on Sept. 2, 1990.
Colorado’s Ubaldo Jimenez
Tuesday, May 4, 2010
Jefferson still had fight left
in them at this point. With the
5-inning 10-run rule looming
over their head, they start-
ed to work. Brittney Garza
led off the inning with a sin-
gle. Samantha Thitoff was
brought in as a courtesy run-
ner for Garza. Paige Ricker
was up and during
her at-bat, Thitoff
was caught stealing.
Ricker popped out
to the third baseman
for the second out.
Taylor Branham hit
a single and Cassidy
Bevington was brought in for
her as a courtesy runner. Alex
Rostorfer followed with a sin-
gle, putting runners on first
and second. With Chelsey
Fischer at bat, a passed ball
allowed the two runners to
advance. Fischer put the ball
in play and the choice was to
throw it home; Bevington slid
and the catcher fell on her.
The ump, with dust in the air,
called Bevington out to end
the game.
“I can’t complain about the
pitching effort out of either
one of our pitchers (Courtnie
Rostorfer and Branham).
They did everything we asked
them to do. Crestview is tradi-
tionally a softball powerhouse
but we still have to play with
them,” Wollenhaupt added.
Jefferson falls to 4-11
overall and 2-6 in the NWC.
The Wildcats travel to Ada on
Thursday (5 p.m.).
“Delphos has a nice team
and Coach Wollenhaupt is
working hard to put things
together. He is building not
only a team but a program,”
Pugh added.
Crestview improves to
16-4 and 6-1 in the NWC.
Crestview plays host to
Columbus Grove today.

Kevin Gregg gave up a
1-out single to Sizemore in
the ninth. He walked Kearns
with two outs, then fired a
called third strike past Peralta
on a full count to complete the
2-hitter.
Before Peralta delivered
in the seventh, the closest
Cleveland came to a hit was
a line drive by Matt LaPorta
leading off the third inning
that was backhanded by third
baseman Jose Bautista.
Toronto hit three home runs
off Mitch Talbot (3-2), giving
the Blue Jays an AL-leading
41.
Bautista’s 2-run homer put
Toronto ahead in the second.
Travis Snider hit his fourth of
the year in the fourth and John
Buck connected for his fourth
in the eighth to make it 5-1.
Toronto made it 3-0 in the
third. Aaron Hill doubled with
one out and scored on a two-
out single by Vernon Wells.
Talbot, a rookie right-
hander, had not allowed a
homer in his previous 19 1/3
innings. The right-hander
gave up five runs and eight
hits over eight-plus innings,
leaving after Buck’s homer to
open the ninth.
Cecil made his major-
league debut against the
Indians last May 5 and
came in with an 0.69 ERA
in two career starts against
Cleveland. His previous high
for strikeouts was nine against
the Indians last July 21.

Knights bat around Jeffcats
By JIM METCALFE
The Delphos Herald
jmetcalfe@
delphosherald.com
DELPHOS — Monday’s
night’s Northwest
Conference baseball con-
test versus Crestview was
one that Jefferson head man
Kyle Harmon might — for
the most part — want to
forget about.
He used five pitchers
that threw a total of 172
pitches, giving up 20 hits,
11 free passes and a hit
batter.
As well, the defense
committed a total of seven
errors as the Knights rocked
the Wildcats (5-12, 2-6
NWC) 26-8 in five innings
at Wildcat Field.
“Our pitching wasn’t
there tonight; it was pret-
ty tough. You give up that
many walks and you’re in
trouble,” Harmon explained.
“We didn’t play very good
defense, especially early,
and when you face a team
like Crestview that hits the
ball hard, they will make
you pay. They hit the ball
hard.”
The Knights (13-6, 6-2
NWC) got one run in
the first inning against
Jefferson starter Ben
Babcock (0-3), scoring Brad
Miller (2 sacrifices, 2 runs)
on a sacrifice fly by Jordan
Speaks (2-for-3, 2 runs bat-
ted in).
The Red and White took
the lead in the home half.
Nik Moore (2-for-3, 2 runs)
got a hit off the glove of
Miller at short and into left
field. Tony George bunt-
ed him up a base. Jordan
Jettinghoff (2-for-3, 2 runs)
doubled the opposite way
to left-center field to score
Moore; an error on the play
allowed him to go to third.
An out later, Jordan Vorst
walked. He took off for sec-
ond, drawing the throw; an
error on the sequence allowed
Jettinghoff to score and put
Vorst at third. However, he
was left stranded.
The top of the second was
the doom for the Wildcats.

Jefferson senior Jordan Jettinghoff takes a cut at a pitch
Monday night versus Crestview. The visiting Knights bom-
barded the host Wildcats 26-8 in 5 innings.
The Knights sent 20 batters
to the dish, putting together
11 hits, one walk and six
Jefferson errors to score 14
runs. Steven Semer had three
hits (2 runs, 5 RBIs) in the
inning, including a 3-run
home run to left center,
while Kyle Balliet (3-for-
4, 4 runs, 3 runs batted in)
had a 2-run single in the
process. The Wildcats used
three pitchers in the inning:
Babcock, Nick Cook and
Curtis Miller; before they
could get the third out as
the visitors led 15-2 after a
45-minute half-inning.
“That has been the story
of our season; that one bad
inning. We just can’t seem
to make a play to get out
of it and it snowballs,” he
said.
The Wildcats bounced
back right away, scoring
six runs of their own in the
home half. Babcock walked
to lead it off. Back-to-back
singles by Austin Clarkson
and Jordan Rode loaded
them up. Moore ripped a
hit to left to score Babcock
and leave the bases juiced.
George unloaded them,
dialing grand slam to left
field to get the hosts within
15-7. Jettinghoff beat out
an infield hit wide of first
by diving into the bag.

night, with Linehan win-
ning the pitchers’ duel 3-1 in
Northwest Conference base-
Tom Morris photo
gle to center but was erased
on Vorst’s bouncer, put-
ting Jettinghoff on third;
an error on the play allowed
him to come home for a
15-8 deficit. C. Miller then
ripped a hit to left center
to chase Balliet and bring
in southpaw Ian Zollars.
An out later, Zollars picked
Miller off first to end the
frame.
“I was proud of how
we fought back then; we
easily could have packed
it in. We hit the ball hard
against a pretty good pitcher
in Balliet,” Harmon added.
“We came out pretty well,
getting a 2-1 lead and then
getting six more in the sec-
ond, but Zollars shut us
down. The good thing is we
come back right away, so
we don’t have time to think
about it.”
Crestview kept up its
attack in the third frame,
sending 12 more batters to
the dish. This time, they
had only three hits but
worked their way for six
walks against C. Miller and
Clarkson to put together
their six runs. By the time
Clarkson got the final out of
the inning, Crestview now
led 21-8.
Zollars sent down the
Wildcats 1-2-3 in the next

the big blows as the Knights
led 26-8 at the end of the

Wildcats in order to finish
the game.

Man from Pakistan held in Times Square case

By TOM HAYS and COLLEEN LONG
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — A U.S. citizen who had
recently returned from a five-month trip to his
native Pakistan, where he had a family, was
arrested at a New York airport on charges that
he drove a bomb-laden SUV meant to cause
a fireball in Times Square, federal authorities
said.
The suspect, Faisal Shahzad, was taken
into custody late Monday by FBI agents and
New York Police Department detectives at
Kennedy Airport while trying to board a
flight to Dubai, according to U.S. Attorney
General Eric Holder and other officials. He
was identified by customs agents and stopped
before boarding, Holder said early today in
Washington.
U.S. authorities “will not rest until we have
brought everyone responsible to justice,”
Holder said, suggesting additional suspects
are being sought.
Shahzad, 30, is a naturalized U.S. citizen
and had recently returned from a five-month
trip to Pakistan, where he had a wife, accord-
ing to law enforcement officials who spoke
to The Associated Press on condition of
anonymity because of the sensitivity of the
investigation into the failed car bombing.
The U.S. attorney’s office in Manhattan
was handling the case and said Shahzad
would appear in court today, but the charges
were not made public. FBI agents searched
the home at a known address for Shahzad
in Bridgeport, Conn., early today, said agent
Kimberly Mertz, who wouldn’t answer ques-
tions about the search.
Authorities removed filled plastic bags
from the house overnight in a mixed-race,
working-class neighborhood of multi-family
homes in Connecticut’s largest city. A bomb
squad came and went without entering as
local police and FBI agents gathered in the
cordoned-off street.
Shahzad was being held in New York
overnight and couldn’t be contacted. A phone
number at a listed address for Shahzad in
Shelton, Conn., wasn’t in service.
He used to live in a two-story grayish-
brown Colonial with a sloping yard in a
working-class neighborhood in Shelton. On
today morning, the home looked as if it had
been unoccupied for a while, with grass grow-
ing in the driveway and bags of garbage lying
about.
Brenda Thurman, 37, a neighbor, said
he lived there with his wife and two small
children until last year. Shahzad had told
Thurman’s husband that he worked on Wall
Street, she said.
“He was a little bit strange,” she said. “He
didn’t like to come out during the day.”
Law enforcement officials say Shahzad
bought the SUV, a 1993 Nissan Pathfinder,
from a Connecticut man about three weeks
ago and paid cash. The officials spoke to the
AP on condition of anonymity because of the
sensitive nature of the case.
The vehicle identification number had
been removed from the Pathfinder’s dash-
board, but it was stamped on the engine, and
investigators used it to find the owner of
record, who told them he had sold the vehicle
to a stranger. As the SUV buyer came into
focus, investigators backed off other leads.
The SUV was parked on Saturday night
on a busy midtown Manhattan street near a
theater showing “The Lion King.” The explo-
sive device inside it had cheap-looking alarm
clocks connected to a 16-ounce can filled with
fireworks, which were apparently intended
to detonate gas cans and set propane tanks
afire in a chain reaction “to cause mayhem,
to create casualties,” police Commissioner
Raymond Kelly said.
A metal rifle cabinet placed in the SUV’s
cargo area was packed with fertilizer, but
NYPD bomb experts believe it was not a type
volatile enough to explode like the ammo-
nium nitrate grade fertilizer used in previous
terrorist bombings.
Police said the SUV bomb could have
produced “a significant fireball” and sprayed
shrapnel with enough force to kill pedestrians
and knock out windows.
A vendor alerted a police officer to the
parked SUV, which was smoking. Times
Square, clogged with tourists on a warm eve-
ning, was shut down for 10 hours. A bomb
squad dismantled the explosive device, and
no one was hurt.
But Holder said Americans should remain
vigilant.
“It’s clear,” he said, “that the intent behind
this terrorist act was to kill Americans.”
Authorities did not address Shahzad’s
plans in Dubai. The airport there is the
Middle East’s busiest and is a major transit
point for passengers traveling between the
West and much of Asia, particularly India
and Pakistan.

More victims feared as Tenn. floodwaters recede Trivia

By CHRIS TALBOTT
The Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Rescuers
feared even more bodies would emerge
as muddy flood waters ebb from tor-
rential weekend rains that swamped
Nashville, much of Tennessee and two
neighboring states, leaving at least 29
dead.
The Cumberland River that has
submerged parts of Nashville’s his-
toric downtown was expected to start
receeding Tuesday after being swollen
by flash floods in creeks that feed into
it.
Residents and authorities know
they’ll find widespread property dam-
age in inundated areas, but dread even
more devastating discoveries.
Thousands of people fled rising
water and hundreds were rescued, but
bodies were recovered Monday from
homes, a yard, even a wooded area
outside a Nashville supermarket. By
Monday night, the rapidly rising waters
were blamed in the deaths of 18 people
in Tennessee alone, including 10 in
Nashville.
The weekend storms also killed
six people in Mississippi and four in
Kentucky, including one man whose
truck ran off the road and into a flooded
creek. One person was killed by a tor-
nado in western Tennessee.
In Nashville, the Cumberland also
deluged some of the city’s most impor-
tant revenue sources: the Gaylord
Opryland Hotel and Convention Center,
whose 1,500 guests were whisked to a
shelter; the adjacent Opry Mills Mall;
even the Grand Ole Opry House, con-
sidered by many to be the heart of
country music.
“That’s the hub of the whole deal
down here,” 82-year-old businessman
John Hobbs said of the entertainment
complex. “Without them nobody would
be down here. That’s like the star of the
whole family.
Floodwaters also edged into areas
of downtown, damaging the Country
Music Hall of Fame, LP Field where
the Tennessee Titans play and the
Bridgestone Arena, home to the NHL’s
Nashville Predators and one of the
city’s main concert venues.
Carly Horvat, 29, lives in a down-
town condo and ventured out with a
few friends to look at damage Monday
night.
“I have never heard the city so quiet,”
Horvat said. “Usually, you hear whoop-
ing and hollering from Broadway.”
Damage estimates range into the
tens of millions of dollars. Gov. Phil
Bredesen declared 52 of Tennessee’s
95 counties disaster areas after finish-
ing an aerial tour from Nashville to
western Tennessee during which he
saw flooding so extensive that treetops
looked like islands.
The severity of the storms caught
everyone off guard. More than 13.5
