were in attendance; Hale knows them and their income level well enough to know they have nothing to worry about. She feels most local seniors are in the same boat. I can say the majority of them will not be taxed, she said. Alice Heidenescher said the community should pass the levy because it must support its children. Doris Keller agreed. I have grandkids in the school system and I think it should be passed, she said. Betty Conley said supporting education is necessary beyond personal interest. I dont have kids or grandkids in the school but Ill vote for it, she said. If passed, the 5-year .5-percent Traditional Income Tax Levy will generate approximately $850,000 per year with the district not seeing full collection until October 2013. From Jan. 1, 2012, to Dec. 31, 2012, the district will see only approximately $383,000. Price stresses the funds are not for teachers salaries; they are needed to reinstitute programs the district had to cut to balance its budget. The

Food giveaway set today

DELPHOS After a measure to keep the local public schools afloat failed at the ballot box last fall, a different measure will appear on the Aug. 2 ballot. To make senior citizens aware of how they would be impacted, Delphos Senior Citizens Inc. Executive Director Joyce Hale invited Superintendent Jeff Price and Treasurer Brad Rostorfer to speak to those gathered for lunch at the senior center Monday. The pair spoke briefly to inform the group of the levys basics. Those whose income is restricted to Social Security will not have to pay the tax. This is a .5 percent traditional income tax that will not impact those who are only dependent on Social Security, Price said. If they have other income and file a state tax return, they will have to look at Line 5 of their state form and discuss it with their tax advisor to see what their amount will be. Approximately 25 ladies

Since 2006, the district has eliminated 27 full- and part-time positions and 23 supplemental positions. It this tax passes, Price said, it will allow us to continue to maintain the programs we have and to restore some of the more vital programs we have had to cut or make reductions in. We have cut programs we feel are important to our students education.

Ottoville Village Council addresses auditors questions

BY SANDY LANGHALS Staff writer OTTOVILLE The Ottoville Council held its monthly meeting Monday night with several items to discuss. Fiscal Officer Jeanne Wannemacher advised council the auditor requested to see the Public Records Policy. When she checked the policy book, she discovered the village didnt have one. Therefore, she requested council adopt Resolution 2011-12 that would put a Public Records Policy into effect for the village. The resolution was passed. The auditor also questioned the villages sewer and water reserve funds. Wannemacher explained the reserves are used to pay major repair bills that may arise and for capital. The auditor requested council make a motion to allow these reserves and state exactly what they are used for so that it is on the record. Council made the motion to allow these reserves. Another resolution was passed to pay $13,726.98 to replace well number 4. About three weeks ago, the well was struck by lightning. The well was about 8-years-old and was covered under insurance. The insurance paid $12,726.98 toward the new well, leaving the village to pay its $1,000 deductible. Phil Hilvers of the maintenance department told council that well number 4 was replaced with a stainless steel pump and working properly. In addition, a small water break on East Street was fixed. Wannemacher expressed concern again this month about incorrect addresses in the village. She said the issue is becoming more prominent with the county GPS up and running, especially with the phone company, 911 coordinator and the voter registration office. Wannemacher also shared she was called by the voter registration office with an address that they could not find, which was creating issues for a lady that wanted to register to vote.

It was determined council would sit down and look at how many houses would be effected by these changes and what the cost would be to correct the problem.

Norway rampage culprit held in isolation

By BJOERN AMLAND and SARAH DiLORENZO The Associated Press OSLO, Norway The self-described perpetrator of Norways deadly bombing and shooting rampage was ordered held in solitary confinement after calmly telling a court that two other cells of collaborators stood ready to join his murderous campaign. Anders Behring Breivik, who has admitted bombing the capital and opening fire on a youth group retreat on an island resort, told authorities he expects to spend the rest of his life in prison. Declaring he wanted to save Europe from Muslim domination, he entered a plea of not guilty on Monday that will guarantee him future court hearings and opportunities to address the public, even indirectly. Norway has been stunned by the attacks and riveted by Breiviks paranoid and disturbing writings. Hundreds thronged the courthouse, hoping to get their first glimpse of the man blamed for the deaths of 76 people lowered Monday from 93. At one point, a car drove through the crowd and onlookers beat it with their fists, thinking Breivik might be inside. Still tens of thousands of Norwegians also defied his rhetoric of hate to gather in central Oslo to mourn the victims and lay thousands of flowers around the city. Police believe Breivik, 32, By JILL LAWLESS The Associated Press acted alone, despite his grand claims in a 1,500-page manifesto that he belonged to a modern group of crusaders. But they have not completely ruled out that he had accomplices. Judge Kim Heger ordered Breivik held for eight weeks, including four in isolation, noting his reference to two more cells within our organization. In an interview published Monday, Breiviks estranged father said he wished his son had killed himself instead of unleashing his rage on innocent people. The outpouring of emotion stood in stark contrast to what prosecutor Christian Hatlo described as Breiviks calm demeanor at the hearing, which was closed to the public over security concerns and to prevent a public airing of his extremist views. Hatlo said he seemed unaffected by what has happened. Meanwhile, police revealed they had dramatically overcounted the number of people slain in the shooting spree on Utoya island, lowering the death toll there from 86 to 68. Police spokesman Oystein Maeland said police and rescuers were focused on helping survivors and securing the area, and may have counted some bodies twice, though he did not immediately explain how the errors occurred. Police also raised the toll from a bombing outside the governments headquarters in Oslo from seven to eight.

OBITUARIES

Winehouse autopsy inconclusive; funeral today

LONDON An autopsy on singer Amy Winehouse failed to determine what killed the 27-year-old star, leaving fans and family with a weeks-long wait for the results of toxicology tests. Her funeral will be held today. A family spokesman said the private funeral for family and close friends would be held at an undisclosed time and place. Winehouses devastated parents visited mourners outside her north London home to thank them for their support. The singer, who had struggled with drug and alcohol abuse for years, was found dead Saturday at home by a member of her security team, who called an ambulance. It arrived too late to save her. The Metropolitan Police said Monday that a forensic post mortem did not establish a formal cause of death and we await the results of further toxicology tests. Those are expected to take two to four weeks. An inquest into the singers death was opened and adjourned at Londons St. Pancras Coroners Court. During the two-minute hearing, an official read out the name, birth date and address of Winehouse, described as a divorced lady living at Camden Square NW1. She was a singer songwriter at the time of her death and was identified by her family here at St. Pancras this morning, said coroners officer Sharon Duff. Duff said the scene of Winehouses death was investigated by police and determined non-suspicious. In Britain, inquests are held to establish the facts whenever someone dies violently or in unexplained circumstances.

The sharp reduction in the death toll adds to a list of police missteps: They took 90 minutes to arrive at the island retreat after the first shot and survivors who called emergency services reported being told to stay off the lines unless they were calling about the Oslo bombings. On Monday, the force revealed its entire Oslo helicopter crew had been sent on vacation and thus couldnt be mobilized to the scene. By contrast, Breivik, who donned a police uniform as part of a ruse to draw campers to him, appeared in total control during the island rampage, police official Odd Reidar Humlegaard said. Hes been merciless, Humlegaard said. Authorities say Breivik used two weapons during the island attack both bought legally, according to his manifesto. A doctor treating victims told The Associated Press the gunman used illegal dumdum-style bullets designed to disintegrate inside the body and cause maximum internal damage. Breivik faces 21 years in prison for the terrorism charges, but he has told authorities he never expects to be released. While 21 years is the stiffest sentence a Norwegian judge can hand down, a special sentence can be given to prisoners deemed a danger to society who are locked up for 20-year sentences that can be renewed indefinitely. Assistant Deputy Coroner Suzanne Greenaway said Winehouses inquest would resume on Oct. 26. The singers father, mother and brother visited her home on Monday, stopping to inspect the mounds of bouquets, candles and handwritten notes across the road from the Victorian house. Her father, Mitch Winehouse, thanked mourners for their tributes. I cant tell you what this means to us it really is making this a lot easier for us, he said. Were devastated and Im speechless but thanks for coming. The singers mother, Janis, was in tears as she examined the flowers, candles, vodka bottles, flags, drawings and handwritten cards left by neighbors, fans and well-wishers. Many of the offerings expressed the same sentiment: What a waste. Ill remember her as a troubled soul, said fan Ethna Rouse, who brought her 4-yearold son to leave a bouquet. Like many artists in the world they are tortured souls, and thats where the talent comes from. The singer had battled her demons in public, too often making headlines for her erratic behavior, destructive relationships and abortive performances. But she was remembered fondly by her neighbors in Camden, the creative but gritty neighborhood where she lived on and off for years. She was too young to die and too talented, and too beautiful, said Peggy Conlon, landlady of the Dublin Castle pub, where Winehouse occasionally stopped for a drink. Shes sorely missed by everyone, not one person had a bad word to say about that kid. Last month, Winehouse canceled her European comeback tour after she swayed and slurred her way through barely recognizable songs in her first show in the Serbian capital, Belgrade. Booed and jeered off stage, she flew home and her management said she would take time off to recover.

Through Facebook and by doing research online, the father of three has met others waiting for organ transplants, people who have had surgeries, and people whose loved ones were donors either while alive or after death. And he and his friend Elizabeth Wolfe are spreading the word online about the need for organ donations during his home hemodialysis sessions several times a week where they live, about 70 miles east of Toledo in Huron Countys Townsend Township. Wright has enlarged kidneys from polycystic kidney disease, which went undetected until the laid-off carpenter fell off a tractor two years ago and had internal bleeding from ruptured cysts. Nearly 112,000 Americans await organ transplants, including nearly 90,000 who need kidneys, according to Life Connection of Ohio. The organ shortage is growing so rapidly that another person is added to the list every 11 minutes, and 18 people die every day waiting for a transplant, according to the Maumee organization.

Heat wave longest in years

DAYTON (AP) How hot was it last week? The National Weather Service says the recent heat wave was the hottest and longest in years for the major population centers in central and southern Ohio. Dayton had an average temperature of 84.7 degrees from July 17-24. The weather service says that was the warmest average temperature over an eight-day period since July 1940. And, Dayton had its longest stretch of days with high temperatures of 90 degrees or more since June 1994. The same eight days were the warmest in Columbus since 1999, which was also the last year the city had a longer string of days that were 90 or hotter. Cincinnati had its warmest eight-day stretch and longest period of temperatures of 90 or above since 2007.

Family Fun Bike Fest Saturday

6-year-old tried to drown puppies

LORAIN (AP) Authorities in northeast Ohio say a 6-year-old girl tried to drown a litter of seven puppies in a swimming pool. The police report in Lorain west of Cleveland says a neighbor alerted authorities, who rescued the puppies last Wednesday. The puppies were turned over to an animal shelter.

The Allen County Creating Healthy Communities Coalition and partner agencies are sponsoring a bicycle festival to celebrate the completion of the Cole Street Bikeway. The Family Fun Bike Fest will be held from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday at the Cornerstone Harvest Church parking lot at 2000 N. Cole St. Events include a bike rodeo, a bike ride to Robb Park, and a kiddy bike and trike parade. The Cole Street Bikeway is part of the City of Limas plan of connecting neighborhoods to near-by parks and schools. Now that we have more bikeways, we want people to use them safely, says Kirk Niemeyer, engineer for the City of Lima. The Bike Fest is designed to encourage bike riding for exercise, and to teach bicyclists the skills they need in order to be better cyclists. Families and children are invited to attend. The bike festival has three events. The bike rodeo is made up of a series of stations, each dealing with an important aspect of safe cycling. Participants will have their bicycles inspected and will then learn about and practice bicycle-handling skills that will increase their enjoyment of bicycling and could someday save their lives. In addition, a limited number of toddler and adult helmets will be available. A bike ride to Robb Park led by Lima Police Sgt. Paula Strickler begins at 10:45 a.m. and a Kiddy Bike & Trike Parade along the bikeway for children under 7 begins at 11 a.m. Those participating in one or more events will be eligible for door prizes, including a new boys and girls bike. Prize drawings will begin at 11:30 a.m.

The childs grandfather tells WJW-TV in Cleveland that the report of a puppydrowning attempt is totally lies. The Morning Journal in Lorain says a witness reported seeing the girl throwing the puppies into the pool filled with more than a foot of water. The witness says three other girls tried to stop her.

Rival plans ensnarl Congress over debt ceiling

By JIM KUHNHENN Associated Press WASHINGTON Rival Democratic and Republican plans to raise the governments borrowing ability have thrust Congress into a standoff just one week away from a potentially devastating debt crisis. President Barack Obama made a last ditch call for compromise, but House Speaker John Boehner said negotiations with the White House had been futile. We cant allow the American people to become collateral damage to Washingtons political warfare, Obama declared Monday in a prime-time address to the nation. Boehner, in a nationally televised rebuttal, said he had given my all to work out a deal with Obama. The president would not take yes for an answer, he said. The extraordinary back-toback appeals to the public gave no indication that weeks of brinkmanship and sputtering talks over long-term deficit reductions were on the verge of ending. With an Aug. 2 deadline rapidly closing, Congress and the White House had limited options to avoid a potential government default that could send the already weak economy into a damaging swoon. By BETH DeFALCO Associated Press TRENTON, N.J. The American Civil Liberties Union of New Jersey on Monday said it will likely drop a lawsuit filed earlier in the day against Gov. Chris Christie for records that confirm he met with the head of Fox News last year. The ACLU filed the lawsuit on Monday on behalf of a reporter for Gawker Entertainment LLC, saying the governors office had issued a blanket refusal to release any records pertaining to the meeting. After the governors office confirmed the September 2010 meeting, the ACLU relented. Were happy to see the matter resolved quickly but remain concerned that the governors office initially issued a blanket executive privilege claim in response to Gawkers request for records, said ACLU-NJ president Frank Corrado, who is representing Gawker reporter John Cook. Is the governors office actually reviewing records requests from the public, or is it simply using executive privilege as a carte blanche to deny access to all correspondence with his office? By THOMAS BEAUMONT and MICHAEL J. CRUMB Associated Press Both Democrats and Republicans softened previous hardline positions and appeared ready to leave quarrels over entitlement programs and higher tax revenues for later. But continued bickering on Capitol Hill overshadowed any signs of emerging common ground. Obama reiterated his call for achieving lower deficits though spending cuts and new tax revenues. But in a notable retreat, he voiced support for a Senate Democratic plan that would reduce deficits by about $2.7 trillion over 10 years only with spending cuts, not with additional revenue. The Senate plan, unveiled Monday by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and the proposal announced the same day by Boehner overlap in significant ways. Both identify about $1.2 trillion in spending cuts to the day-to-day operating budgets of government agencies, though Reids proposal also counts an extra $1 trillion in savings from winding down wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Both proposals would create a bipartisan congressional commission to identify further deficit reductions, especially in major health care programs such as Medicare and Medicaid. The primary difference between the two is timing. Reids proposal would raise the debt ceiling enough so that

DEAR EDITOR, Here we go again. Another attempt by our local school board and administration to increase our taxes. This time by a special election. This is the only special election in this area that I am aware of. This time, the taxes will cover all incomes, not just earned income, even though it has been lowered to .5 percent (for now). To you seniors and retirees, that means taxing social security, pensions, interest on savings and any investment incomes. This as the federal government is talking cuts in Social Security and Medicare. Last election the school board was asking seniors and retirees to vote for the levy because it would not affect them. This time it will effect everyone. You would think that after the last tax levy was soundly defeated, the school board and administration would have gotten the message: No new taxes. I dont think they have any idea what to do; better to raise taxes than confront the issues. No one said it would be easy. Just do like every other business or industry and work within your budget. It takes much less effort to raise taxes than to face some difficult issues. At present, the Delphos Public School system has five buildings to educate our students: Franklin Elementary, Jefferson Middle School, Landeck Elementary, Jefferson Senior High and the Superintendents office (across from the middle school building). Do we really need five school buildings? This seems to be an issue that none of the school board or administration want to touch. Consider the duplication of work, administration, teachers, maintenance, cafeteria staff, upkeep, utilities, etc. Which brings up another point. Do part time employees receive fringe benefits? What about some of the stipends that are paid to administrators and staff just to increase their salaries (e.g. Asbestos Monitor or Coordinator). I thought we had taken care of the asbestos problem and removal years ago (as part of one of several existing bond issues). Granted there have been cuts in personnel but thats another question. If the income tax passes will those persons be returned to the staff? If we are able to educate our students without them, did we need them in the first place? As I had stated in my last letter regarding this issue, most public institutions (including schools) are overstaffed and under-utilized. The list of questions could go on and on. It is my opinion, and that of others that have approached me about this tax levy, that there is still much more to be done before taxes are increased. One last thought. Why are we having a special election for this issue and what did it cost? I am figuring thousands of dollars (monies that according to the school administration financials we cant afford to spend to begin with). Why not wait until the November general election. I think that they figured that the majority of voters would not take the time to vote on this one issue. Be sure to vote on Tuesday, Aug. 2. Greg Miller, Delphos

He stated that any Delphos persons desiring to pass their Junior or Senior Life Saving tests will have an opportunity to do so.

IT WAS NEWS THEN

WASHINGTON (AP) Rep. David Wu of Oregon was being pressured to leave Congress sooner rather than later after the House Democratic leader sought an investigation into a young womans allegation that she had an unwanted sexual encounter with him. Wu, 56, a seven-term Democrat from Portland whose unusual behavior had been the subject of news stories earlier in the year, has said the encounter was consensual. Still, his office announced Monday that he would not seek re-election in 2012. Hes still determining his political future, but he will not run for re-election, said Wus spokesman, Erik Dorey. Hes fully focused on fulfilling his elected duties and serving his constituents to the best of his duties here in the House. Nearly all the public pressure on Wu to step down was coming from his home state rather than Capitol Hill. Mary Botkin, former Democratic National Committee committeewoman from Portland, joined those calling for his resignation. She said she has known Wu since 1980s but his credibility was so severely damaged he should resign. State Democrats said they expect a state senator, Suzanne Bonamici of Beaverton, to join the two candidates already in the primary race, Labor Commissioner Brad Avakian and state Rep. Brad Witt of Clatskanie. Potential Republican nominees include sports marketing businessman Rob Cornilles, who lost to Wu last year, three state legislators and two tea party candidates from last years primary. The 1st Congressional District, located in Oregons northwest corner, has been reliably Democratic since the mid-1970s. New boundaries approved this year by the state Legislature are expected to provide a small boost to Republicans. Not yet known is the size of the shadow over any Democratic candidate an investigation into Wus behavior might create. House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi of California requested an Ethics Committee investigation into the allegation against Wu. Fellow Democrats appeared wary of getting ahead of her request. When asked if he thought Wu should resign, Rep. Steny Hoyer of Maryland, the No. 2 Democrat in the House, said he wanted to learn more before commenting. I dont know the facts. Certainly, I agree with Leader Pelosi that the Ethics Committee must look at this and must look at it at an accelerated fashion, Hoyer said. There has been an allegation made and we need to know the merits of that allegation. Rep. John Larson, D-Conn., said he spoke with Wu over the weekend, and he hinted that Wu is confronting the issue of whether he should resign. I asked him how he was doing, and I told him he should be concerned first and foremost about his children and his family. He acknowledged that, and he acknowledged he has a very difficult decision coming up, Larson said. Wu was guaranteed a stiff primary challenge after seven staffers resigned in January because of unusual behavior that included an angry public speech and a photo of himself in a tiger costume that he sent to a staff member. Wu attributed his actions to a period of mental health challenges that began in 2008 as marital issues led to separation from his wife.

Records lawsuit against NJ gov likely to be dropped

Citing the states Open Public Records Law, the lawsuit sought all correspondence between the president of Fox News and the governor or his staff after a report that the head of the network tried to persuade the first-term GOP governor to run for president in 2012. Fox News President Roger Ailes has denied urging Christie to run for president, but speculation continues over whether Christie would jump into the race, even though he repeatedly said he will not. Christies appearance Monday in Iowa at an education conference and a political fundraiser for a congressman did little to quell the presidential talk. The governors office initially refused to confirm any records existed and said that, if they did, they would be exempt from states open records law based on executive privilege intended to protect the governor and other elected officials from disclosing records that contain advice to them about their official public duties as a reason to withhold records from the public. But after the lawsuit was filed Monday, the governors office provided a redacted calendar entry confirming that Christie and his wife,

it wouldnt have to be reconsidered until 2013, beyond the 2012 elections, as demanded by Obama. The GOP plan would only extend the debt ceiling for about six months. For Republicans, the timing provides crucial leverage to force Democrats and the president to cut spending in Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security, expensive benefit programs that Democrats have long protected, despite escalating costs. Obama has said he would not sign a short-term extension of the debt ceiling, but on Monday he stopped short of issuing a veto threat. Still, he said, a six-month-long increase in the debt ceiling would allow Republicans to try to force their will once again, demanding harsh cuts in program like Medicare and refusing to allow tax increases on the wealthy. Based on what weve seen these past few weeks, we know what to expect six months from now, he said. Once again, the economy will be held captive unless they get their way. Credit rating agencies such as Moodys and Standard & Poors have threatened to downgrade the United States gold-plated AAA rating if Congress and the White House dont extend the debt ceiling and bring long-term deficits under control. Mary Pat, attended a private dinner on Sept. 11, 2010, in New York but declined to comment beyond the letter. Please be advised that this office is in possession of no other records responsive to your request, Raymond Brandes, an attorney for the governor, said in a letter sent to the ACLU and Cook on Monday. Asked about the lawsuit at the Iowa event, Christie said, I hear theyre dropping it because we have no documents between Roger Ailes and myself. Christie said the only record pertaining to the meeting was the calendar entry. A New York Magazine story in May reported that Ailes, like many others, tried to persuade Christie to run against President Barack Obama in 2012. Following that article, Gawkers Cook filed the public records request. Ailes, who created Fox, the network of choice for many Republican viewers, in 1996, is a former media consultant for Presidents Nixon, Reagan and George H.W. Bush. The public has a right to know whether the head of Americas most-watched cable news channel is advising a sitting governor on state matters, Gawkers Cook said in a statement.

Pawlenty says Bachmann gets her facts wrong

massive unemployment, and an unconstitutional health care plan. She refrained from such direct criticism of Pawlenty on Monday. None of the 50 people gathered at the Delaware County fairgrounds asked about the dust-up with Pawlenty. And this was as close as the Iowa native got to defending her record: Ive taken your voice that I heard growing up here in this great state to the halls of Congress very effectively. And I have fought and fought against all of this out of control spending. In separate appearances across the state, both encouraged Republican activists to attend the Iowa straw poll, an event seen as an early test of strength in the state where the nominating caucuses begin the 2012 primary sequence. The escalated squabbling between the two underscored the high stakes for both ahead of the Aug. 13 popularity contest. Both are competing aggressively campaigning across the state, running TV ads and, now, poking at each others credentials in hopes of emerging as the main alternative to Republican presidential front-runner Mitt Romney.

MANCHESTER, Iowa Call it the Minnesota feud Iowa style. The simmering rivalry between Republican presidential candidates Tim Pawlenty and Michele Bachmann spilled out onto the campaign trail Monday as the two Minnesotans campaigned in the leadoff caucus state three weeks before a test vote by Iowa Republicans that could hinder or help their presidential bid. She has a record for saying things that are off the mark and this is another example of that, Pawlenty told 125 people in a Davenport restaurant as he responded to Bachmanns criticism a day earlier that he had espoused the same policies as President Barack Obama. On Sunday, Bachmann issued a written statement quoting Pawlenty saying in 2006 that government has to be more proactive and more aggressive. Wrote Bachmann: Thats the same philosophy that, under President Obama, has brought us record deficits,

Each of their presidential chances rests in Iowa. Pawlenty hopes that a strong showing next month and in the caucuses early next year will lift his sagging campaign while derailing Bachmann. She, in turn, wants to continue boosting her standing as polls show her on Romneys heels in Iowa and nationally. Pawlenty, whose support in Iowa polls is in the single digits even though hes spent 18 months laying the groundwork for an Iowa campaign, had said he planned to refrain from attacking Bachmann. He quickly pivoted after she leapt to near the top of GOP presidential preference polls in Iowa shortly after announcing her candidacy. Since then, Pawlenty has increasingly poked at Bachmann as shes become a threat to his chances in Iowa and beyond. Earlier this month on NBCs Meet the Press, he called her record in Congress non-existent, and has indirectly attacked her time as a state legislator and three terms in Congress as more flash than substance, compared to his two terms as governor. Hes also subtly jabbed at her with a summer campaign theme of results, not rhetoric.

Thieman, Klaus, Stolly top LJGA awards

By JIM METCALFE jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com LIMA The Lima Junior Golf Association has built up quite a reputation of preparing young golfers during its summer tournaments at various courses throughout the Tri-County area. The organization held its annual season-ending banquet Monday night at the Shawnee Country Club and honored the best of its young golfers. Lima Central Catholic golfers Josh Klaus and Lesli Stolly took the Male and Female Player of the Year awards, respectively, while Ben Thieman from Sidney won the Oscar Scheiffler Sportsmanship Award as voted on by his peers. As well, players who had won first and second place at the 15 tournaments held through June and July were also presented their trophies. That honored the present. Before that, the past was recognized. The speaker of the night, Amy Langhals-Miller, a native of Kalida, spoke about her start in golf in the LJGA helped as a springboard to stardom at Ohio State University and as a member of the Ladies Professional Golf Association Tour in 2001-02. I have no doubt that I achieved my dreams, including playing on the LPGA Tour, because of the lessons I learned from the very start of my golfing career as a little girl. My parents were my first teachers and they helped instill in me four things that I have carried throughout my life: sportsmanship, respect, honor and fun, she told the crowd. I also learned that I had to have a work ethic, to do what others werent willing to do or take the extra step, if I wanted to achieve my dreams. I learned that hard work, determination and dedication were what it was going to take; if I had time for extra practice, I should take it. You also have to be willing to work on your weaknesses, whatever they be, which isnt always easy. Those lessons paid off with her being named 3-time LJGA Player of the Year.

Kipnis 1st career hit wins it for Indians in 9th

CLEVELAND (AP) The Cleveland Indians slogan throughout a season of improbable comeback wins has been What If? Rookie Jason Kipnis added a new twist Monday night: Why not? Thats what Kipnis thought as he came to bat with the bases loaded and two outs in the ninth inning, before delivering his first career hit to give Cleveland a 3-2 victory over the Los Angeles Angels. That was so cool, Kipnis said after hitting a 1-0 pitch from Hisanori Takahashi between first and second base to give the Indians their 11th last at-bat home win and break a four-game losing streak. Kipnis was well aware he was 0 for 5 since being called up Friday and really wanted a hit. I actually thought, Why not now? I might as well do it, he said. Kipnis was mobbed by teammates as the clubs latest late-inning hero. First base coach Sandy Alomar Jr., gave the ball to the 24-yearold after retrieving it from a fan when Angels right fielder Torii Hunter tossed it into the crowd. Im very appreciative of that, Kipnis said. Im going to keep this one a long time. Indians manager Manny Acta will savor the muchneeded victory awhile, too. This is a good way to break a little losing streak, Acta said. We showed a lot of heart and he couldnt pick a better spot for his first hit in the big leagues. Tony Sipp (5-2) pitched a scoreless ninth for the win after Bobby Abreus two-run homer off Vinnie Pestano put the Angels ahead 2-1 in the eighth. Angels closer Jordan Walden then blew his seventh save in 30 tries. Michael Brantley opened the ninth with a line single to left and stole second getting Kipnis to think. I mapped out what had to happen to get me up there or just be cheering, Kipnis said. And that was bases loaded, two outs. After Walden struck out Asdrubal Cabrera on a 3-2 pitch clocked at 98 mph, Travis Hafner drove the first pitch he saw to left-center, easily scoring Brantley to tie it at 2. Great at-bat there by Michael and then by Hafner, Acta said. These guys believe when we get to the ninth and are close we can win. Im just glad the lineup turned over to put those guys in position to do it. Walden then walked Carlos Santana and hit Jack Hannahan in the right ankle with an 0-2 pitch to load the bases. Angels manager Mike Scioscia brought in Takahashi to pitch and summoned Hunter from right to play as an extra infielder between first and second base. You have to defend what you can in that situation, Scioscia said. Any fly ball is going to beat you. The ploy worked when Travis Buck tapped a onehopper to Hunter, who threw home for the forceout. I was thinking, Gee, we cant even hit a ball over an outfielder playing the infield, Acta said. But we pitched great one more time. When you pitch well, you have a chance. Acta admitted the secondplace Indians are watching the scoreboard to see what other AL Central teams are doing. Cleveland moved within one

That is one lesson I want to pass on to young golfers; you deserve nothing less then the best but you also have to work for it. If you do your best every day, at the end of the day you are a success in my book. Her local success, including a 3-time runner-up at the Ohio High School Athletic Associations state tournament, continued on to her career at The Ohio State University. During her career as a Buckeye, she was a 3-time All-Big Ten honoree and capped off her career as the 1997 Big Ten Player of the Year and Honorable Mention All-America honoree. As a senior, she was named the Ohio State Female Athlete of the Year after leading the Buckeyes to a Big Ten title while capturing the individual championship. That season, the Buckeyes won the NCAA East Regional before finishing tied for eighth at the NCAA Championships. A 4-year letterwinner, she was a 2-time captain and began her career as the Big Ten Freshman of the Year. She claimed medalist honors three times during her career while leading the Buckeyes to victory in eight tournaments and 14 runnerup finishes. After graduating from Ohio State with a degree in sport and exercise science, Langhals played professionally for several years, including two years on the LPGA Tour. She also competed in two U.S. Womens Open Championship (2001, 2004). She returned to Ohio State as the assistant womens golf coach in 2005. I rarely golfed in national tournaments as a youngster: I played in events here and Toledo and occasionally in Marion, she continued. When I got to Columbus, coming from such a small town, some might have thought I was going to be overwhelmed but I never felt that. I felt very comfortable there, perhaps because of my coaches and teammates. I was part of a team. She felt so comfortable in Columbus that she returned there after her abbreviated LPGA Tour ended. It was definitely not as long as I had hoped; I missed an entire year because of a car accident and after I returned, I struggled to make cuts and really started to doubt myself. Once you start to doubt yourself and your abilities, it becomes almost impossible to stay at that level, she explained. Golfing in the Open was a tremendous chance but I also had my share of tough times. When I was deciding what to do after retiring, I got offered an assistant coaching job for the Michigan womens team. I decided to turn it down I am a Buckeye through and through and then got the offer to coach at Ohio State. I got the chance to take a team to Scotland and golf on some of the most storied courses in history, like St. Andrews. I got married two years ago and when my son was born, my husband and I decided together that I needed to spend more time with my son I am a family woman at heart and decided to step out of coaching. I really felt that was the best decision for me. It was then that a position as an office associate with the mens and womens golf, diving and synchronized swimming teams came up. I applied and got the job out of 732 applicants. It allows me to stay involved but not have to do the travel. All in all, she feels very blessed to be where she is at. Ive had a great life. Ive had the chance to feed my passion, golf, and I also have had the opportunity to influence athletes lives beyond wins and losses, she added. I dont see myself getting back into coaching because Im content with where I am at.

Mets win 4-2, deny Reds 3rd straight victory

CINCINNATI (AP) The Reds elusive winning streak ended awfully fast. Jason Isringhausen struck out Brandon Phillips with the bases loaded in the ninth inning Monday night, preserving the New York Mets 4-2 win that stopped Cincinnatis streak at a modest two games. The Reds havent won three in a row since they swept a series in Los Angeles from June 13-15. They had chances to keep it going on Monday, but blew a lead in the seventh and then came up one hit shy in the ninth against a familiar face on the mound. We did have some chances, we just didnt come through, manager Dusty Baker said. We had good chances a couple of times. None better than the last one. The 38-year-old Isringhausen signed a minor league deal last season with the Reds, who gave him a chance to extend his comeback from reconstructive elbow surgery in 2009. After seven games, he came down with a sore elbow. The Reds decided that was it and suggested he look for another team. They just said I didnt have enough in the tank, Isringhausen said. On Monday, he had just enough. After the Mets traded closer Francisco Rodriguez to Milwaukee after the All-Star game, theyve been using a mix-and-match approach in the ninth inning. Isringhausen is becoming the favorite choice. An error by third baseman David Wright and Miguel Cairos two-out single in the ninth got the crowd on its feet. Isringhausen pitched carefully to Jay Bruce, walking him to load the bases. He then fanned Phillips on four pitches for his third save in six chances. The Mets rallied for the lead against Mike Leake (8-6) and two relievers, scoring four times in the seventh. R.A. Dickey (5-8) allowed eight hits and a pair of runs in 6 2-3 innings, and the bullpen held on. Both teams know their biggest problem lately getting a hit with runners in scoring position. They had trouble with it again until the Mets finally broke through in the seventh. Jose Reyes and Justin Turner had one-out singles off Leake, who left the game with a pitch count at 112. Carlos Beltran tied it with his fly out against left-hander Bill Bray. Wright singled home the tiebreaker off Logan Ondrusek, and Daniel Murphy and Jason Bay followed with RBI doubles. Thats how it goes, said Ondrusek, who hadnt allowed a run in his last 11 appearances. Some nights, you throw well and they still get hits. Some nights, youre bad and you still get outs. Tonight, I thought I threw some good pitches, but they found holes and spots where guys could keep on running. Phillips doubled home a run in the sixth, and Dickey left after giving up Drew Stubbs RBI single with two outs in the seventh. A bullpen that has struggled lately made it interesting and gave Reds fans a moment to reminisce. After Dickey left, Pedro Beato walked Cairo to put runners on first and second. Collins then brought in lefthander Tim Byrdak to face Bruce in a sentimental matchup. Bruce hit a first-pitch, game-ending homer off Byrdak last Sept. 28 for a 3-2 win over Houston that clinched the NL Central title. This time, Byrdak fanned him on three pitches. Notes: Reyes has scored in each of his last seven games. ... Reds 1B Joey Votto was out of the starting lineup for only the second time this season, getting a day of rest. Votto pinch hit in the eighth and flied out. Hes 2 for 18 in his last six games. ... OF Chris Heisey got an MRI on his left shoulder that was negative. Heisey was sore after bumping the outfield wall while going for a fly ball on Sunday night.

Padres 4, Phillies 4 PHILADELPHIA (AP) Aaron Harang outpitched Cliff Lee, Chris Denorfia stole home and the San Diego Padres beat the Philadelphia Phillies for the first time in more than a year, 5-4 on Monday. Harang (9-2) gave up four runs in six innings to help the Padres avoid a four-game sweep and defeat the Phillies for the first time since June 7, 2010. The Phillies had beaten the Padres 10 straight times, their secondlongest streak against them since winning 11 from 2004-06. Lee (9-7) lasted only four innings, his second-shortest outing of the season. He allowed 10 hits, five runs and

made a pickoff blunder that allowed Denorfia to steal home. His soft toss to first gave Denorfia the opening he needed to bolt from third and give the Padres a 3-1 lead. Heath Bell pitched the ninth for his 29th save. After the Phillies staked Lee to a 1-0 lead, he unraveled in the second. Lee, who had allowed only three runs over 14 innings in his last two starts, gave up four in the inning. Cardinals 10, Astros 5 ST. LOUIS Catcher Yadier Molina was a triple shy of the cycle for the second time in three games and Kyle McClellan ended an eight-game victory drought for St. Louis. Trailing 8-1, Carlos Lee made it interesting with his 16th career grand slam in the eighth off P.J. Walters, cutting the gap to three runs before St. Louis answered with two. Colby Rasmus homered for the second straight game and had three RBIs for the Cardinals. Molina missed his only shot for the cycle when he took a called third strike from Mark Melancon in the eighth. His eighth homer came in the fourth off J.A. Happ (4-12). McClellan (7-6) allowed one run on six hits and walked none. Pirates 3, Braves 1 ATLANTA James McDonald struck out a career-high nine in 5 1-3 scoreless innings and the Pirates beat the Braves to keep pace in the tight NL Central race. The Pirates are tied with St. Louis for first place in the division, a halfgame ahead of Milwaukee, which was off. McDonald (6-4) had the most strikeouts by a Pirates pitcher in almost two years. He gave up eight hits but did not walk a batter and ended each of the first five innings with strikeouts. McDonald has not allowed a run in two straight wins. Joel Hanrahan pitched a perfect ninth for his 29th save in 30 chances. Dodgers 8, Rockies 5 LOS ANGELES Andre Ethier hit a two-run homer to help Rubby De La Rosa win for the first time in six weeks and the Dodgers beat the Rockies. Aaron Miles and recently acquired Juan Rivera had run-scoring doubles to help De La Rosa (4-4) end a winless stretch of six straight starts since beating the Rockies 10-8 at Coors Field. The 22-year-old right-hander allowed a run and three hits over six innings, struck out five and walked four. He has giving up seven earned runs in 31 innings during his last five outings, and has an overall ERA of 3.49 in his nine big league starts. Juan Nicasio (4-3) gave up five run in 5 2-3 innings for the loss.

game of first-place Detroit and is 2 1/2 ahead of Chicago. After what we went through last year (93 losses), why not watch the scoreboard? Acta said. Angels starter Dan Haren struck out 10 over 7 2-3 innings and was in line for his fifth win in seven starts since June 24. The right-hander gave up one run and three hits, walking two. Haren matched his season high in strikeouts, set May 8 in a 6-5 Angels win over Cleveland in which he got a no-decision. On April 12, he blanked the Indians 2-0 on a one-hitter a fourth-inning single by Shin-Soo Choo. Maicer Izturis singled to open the eighth off Pestano. One out later, Abreu stepped up, hitting only .152 (10 for 66) in July. The veteran pulled a 1-0 pitch into the right-field seats for his fourth homer and a 2-1 lead. Cleveland scored in the first. Brantley lined a oneout double to right and came home on Cabreras single for a 1-0 lead. Indians starter Fausto Carmona worked six strenuous shutout innings for one of his best outings of an otherwise rocky season. Named Clevelands No. 1 starter at the outset of spring training, he was pounded for 10 runs in three innings on opening day by the Chicago White Sox. He later lost eight of nine starts from May 19 through June 26. He was sidelined July 2-18 with a strained muscle in his right thigh. He stranded two runners in the second, fourth and fifth innings. In the fifth, with Angels on first and third and two outs, Abreu hit a shot that right fielder Buck caught with his back against the wall. Notes: Indians C Carlos Santana has one hit in his last 15 at-bats, a fourth-inning bunt single. ... Indians rookie RHP Alex White, out since May 21 with a sore right middle finger, threw a simulated game. Acta said trainers will see how White feels Tuesday before putting together a timetable for his return but it will be as a reliever. The Indians want to get White back as soon as possible and think that it will take too long to build up his arm strength to get back into the rotation. ... Indians INF Jared Goedert accepted an outright assignment to Triple-A Columbus. He was designated for assignment Thursday.
Rangers 20, Twins 6 ARLINGTON, Texas Ian Kinsler homered and drove in four runs as the Texas Rangers pounded out the most runs and hits in the majors this season with a 20-6 rout of the Minnesota Twins on Monday night. Texas became just the third team to put up at least three runs in each of the first five innings as the Rangers added five in the fourth and four in the fifth. It happened to Texas 20 years ago when the Oakland Athletics beat them 19-5. Philadelphia also did it against Pittsburgh way back in 1900, according to information provided by the Rangers from the Elias Sports Bureau. Things were so one-sided that Michael Cuddyer moved from right field to the mound to pitch the eighth for the Twins. Cuddyer gave up a double to Napoli, a bloop single to Mitch Moreland, and walked Kinsler with one out to load the bases. But Cuddyer retired Elvis Andrus on a fly ball and David Murphy on a pop-up for a scoreless inning. The last Twins position player to pitch was outfielder John Moses against California on July 31, 1990. Yankees 10, Mariners 3 NEW YORK Derek Jeter and Mark Teixeira each homered and drove in three runs, Freddy Garcia stifled his former team and the Yankees handed the snakebit Mariners their 16th straight loss. A rain delay of 1 hour, 57 minutes was the only thing that slowed this loss for Seattle. The game was barely under way when Teixeira crushed any pregame hopes Seattle had of jumping out early and snapping the streak, hitting a rare homer into the second deck in left field after Curtis Granderson walked in the first. In the third, Jeter hit his first homer since connecting for hit No. 3,000 on July 9. He also tripled in the eighth.

NFL deal looks like winwin for players, owners

By RICHARD ROSENBLATT The Associated Press NEW YORK NFL owners and players were all smiles after agreeing on a new labor deal. And why not? Both sides were feeling like winners. It took a 4 1/2-month lockout to do it, but players came away with better salaries and benefits and safer working conditions. Owners, meanwhile, gain a higher percentage of the more than $9 billion in annual league revenues that figure to rise significantly. The whole deal for everybody is truly an upgrade, Chicago Bears kicker and player representative Robbie Gould said Monday. If you look at the whole concept of the deal for the owners, obviously, they wanted a percentage back. We gave them a percentage back. For the players, workers compensation, the revenue sharing. I think at the end of the day, the deal is fair for everyone. The biggest issue involved splitting revenue. In the new 10-year deal, the split is about 53 percent to owners and 47 percent to players. The old collective bargaining agreement was close to a 50-50 arrangement. This new agreement is fair for both sides. Neither side got everything they wanted, San Diego Chargers president Dean Spanos said. It will give us labor peace for 10 years and helps secure the long-term future of the game. It will allow pro football to be even better, safer and more competitive, and to grow and prosper into the

Robbie Gould, Chicago Bears kicker and player representative future. On the plus side for the players, theres: an increase in salaries and benefits, with the salary cap at $120 million, plus $22 million in benefits, for 2011. Owners must spend 99 percent of the salary cap in 2011-12 in cash; minimum salary increases of $50,000 that will increase annually; new work rules and shortened offseason workouts, which are expected to result in fewer injuries and perhaps longer careers; better health benefits, including more than $1 billion for post-career injuries. On the owners side, theres: more money to invest as gross revenues rise; labor peace for 10 years that makes it easier to work out long-term business deals; the ability to assist in the development of new stadiums because certain revenue was not included in total football revenues; paying less money to untested rookies, specifically high-first round draft picks, although that money will be redirected to veterans. Each side lost a little, too. The owners did not give the players an opt-out clause NFLPA chief DeMaurice Smith sought, and the players retained a 16-game regular season that Commissioner Roger Goodell wanted increased to 18 games. We didnt get everything that either side wanted ... but we did arrive at a deal that we think is fair and balanced, Smith said. New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft apologized to fans for taking so long to reach a deal but said the end result is weve been able to have an agreement that I think is going to allow this sport to flourish over the next decade. There is still more to be done once the union recertifies and the almost 1,900 players vote to approve the new CBA. When that happens, items such as player discipline, drug testing, disability programs and pensions, still have to be negotiated. Cowboys tight end Jason Witten believes the length of the deal indicates a win-win conclusion to the often contentious negotiations. That kind of solidifies that both sides felt good about the deal and that its a fair deal, he said.

Phelps loses 200 free again to teammate Lochte

By ANDREW DAMPF AP Sports Writer SHANGHAI Ryan Lochte overtook Michael Phelps on the final turn of the 200-meter freestyle to win one of the most highly awaited races of the world championships today, reminding everyone he is a threat to replace his American teammate as the worlds top swimmer. Lochte touched in 1 minute, 44.44 seconds, with Phelps taking the silver in 1:44.79. Defending champion Paul Biedermann of Germany settled for bronze in 1:44.88. Lochte also beat Phelps in the 200 individual medley and 200 backstroke at last years U.S. championships, then won six golds to Phelps five at the Pan Pacific Championships in 2010 prompting Phelps coach Bob Bowman to acknowledge that Lochte was the best swimmer last year. Phelps led at the 50 and 100 marks before Lochte, who was swimming in the next lane, surged in front. I knew Michael wanted to go out just to clean water, so I knew I had to be in striking distance and just work what Im good at those underwaters on each turn, Lochte said. Its a big confidence boost. Hopefully this win will help me carry on through my other races this week. Lochte hardly celebrated. Phelps then shook his hand, signaling a friendly rivalry. Park Tae-hwan of South Korea, who won the 400 free on the opening night of the eight-day meet on Sunday, was fourth. Already energized by Lochtes win, the near capacity crowd at the Oriental Sports Center upped the noise when local favorite Zhao Jing of China won the next race, the womens 100 backstroke. In the mens 100 back, Camille Lacourt and Jeremy Stravius of France finished in a rare dead heat for gold, clocking 52.76 before celebrating together over a lane rope. The bronze went to Ryosuke Irie of Japan in 52.98. Lotte Friis of Denmark won the womens 1,500 free a non-Olympic event in 15:49.59. World record holder Kate Ziegler of the United States took the silver, and Li Xuanxu of China captured the bronze. Another big race was scheduled for later, with American standout Rebecca Soni being tapped for a world record in the 100 breaststroke. Phelps was due to swim again in the 200 butterfly semifinals. At the last worlds in Rome two years ago, Biedermann handed Phelps a stinging defeat in the 200 free, beating the American by more than a second and taking down Phelps world record in the process. Biedermann acknowledged after that race that his high-tech body suit was partly responsible for his win. Bowman threatened to keep

By The Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) NFL players voted to OK a final labor deal Monday, days after the owners approved a tentative agreement, and the sides finally managed to put an end to the 4 1/2-month lockout, the longest work stoppage in league history. The NFL Players Association headquarters executive board and 32 team reps voted unanimously to approve the terms of a deal. Owners overwhelmingly approved a proposal Thursday, but some unresolved issues still needed to be reviewed to satisfy players; the owners dont need to vote again. BASEBALL ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) The Texas Rangers routed the Minnesota Twins, 20-6 on Monday night, putting up the most runs in a game by any team this season. In the process, the Rangers accomplished a feat done only two other times in 111 years by scoring at least three runs in each of the first five innings.

LOS ANGELES (AP) Police suspect two men charged with the severe beating of a San Francisco Giants fan at Dodger Stadium assaulted three other Giants fans at the opening day game and are asking other possible victims to come forward. Detectives believe the other people were approached by suspects Louie Sanchez and Marvin Norwood on the west side of the stadium on March 31, a law enforcement official said Monday. Sanchez also is accused of misdemeanor battery on a woman at the game. The official said the woman was wearing a Giants shirt and Sanchez threw something at her during the game.

Phelps out of the water until the polyurethane suits were banned. This is the first major international meet since the return to textile suits in January 2010, and Lochtes winning time was far off Biedermanns world record of 1:42.00. In 09, I just did my thing. For the moment now its more difficult for me, Biedermann said. The suits helped. No matter what, we are back in jammers now and thats all that counts. Zhao won her race in 59.05 to the tune of banging drums from the red-clad Chinese team sitting in the stands. Anastasia Zueva of Russia took the silver in 59.06, and Natalie Coughlin of the United States, who led after 50 meters, earned the bronze in 59.05 to raise her record total to 18 medals in five worlds. Gemma Spofforth of Britain, the defending champion and world record holder, didnt make the final because of food poisoning. Coughlin led and was ahead of world-record pace at the halfway mark, then fell behind. I probably overswam the first 30 meters or so and thats very difficult to avoid, especially when youre so excited in the race and you hear the crowd cheering, Coughlin said. But you have to be controlled, and thats faster than I thought I was going to be at this meet so Im very, very happy.

HOCKEY MINNEAPOLIS (AP) The brother of NHL enforcer Derek Boogaard made his first court appearance Monday on charges stemming from his brothers overdose death in May. Aaron Boogaard, 24, didnt enter a plea during the brief appearance before Hennepin County District Judge Regina Chu. His mother and sister were present, his attorney said. Boogaard is next due in court Aug. 17. Boogaard faces one felony drug count and one gross misdemeanor count of interfering with the scene of a death. State guidelines recommend a sentence of 21 months of probation. Prosecutors say Aaron Boogaard told police he gave his 28-year-old brother an un-prescribed oxycodone pill at the start of a night of partying that resulted in his death from a toxic combination of drugs and alcohol. They say he flushed the rest of his brothers drugs down the toilet before police arrived at the Minneapolis apartment they shared. Aaron Boogaard remains free on bail but must avoid alcohol and nonprescribed drugs. NEW YORK (AP) The New York Rangers have re-signed defenseman Steve Eminger. The 27-year-old Eminger had two goals and four assists 65 games with the Rangers last season.

White Sox 6, Tigers 3 CHICAGO Mark Buehrle pitched six innings and Carlos Quentin hit a bases-loaded double and Chicago beat Detroit to pull within 3 1/2 games of first in the AL Central. Buehrle (8-5) allowed 10 hits and Detroit had a runner on in each of his six innings, but the Tigers managed just two unearned runs off the left-hander. Detroit rookie Duane Below (0-1) surrendered six hits and four runs in 4 2-3 innings. Tigers manager Jim Leyland was ejected before the start of the sixth. There was no immediate word on why he was thrown out. Paul Konerko hit his 23rd homer and A.J. Pierzynski his fourth for the White Sox. Miguel Cabrera connected on his 21st homer for Detroit, a solo shot off reliever Jesse Crain in the seventh. Athletics 7, Rays 5 OAKLAND, Calif. Conor Jackson hit a two-run double in the seventh inning and the Athletics rallied from three runs down to beat the Rays. Cliff Pennington homered for the

second time in four games and David DeJesus added two hits, including an RBI single to start the As uprising against Tampa Bays bullpen. Ben Zobrist homered and doubled twice for the Rays, who lost for the third time in four games and dropped to 4-7 since the All-Star break. Brian Fuentes (2-8), the second of five As pitchers, worked two-thirds of an inning for his first win since April 27. Andrew Bailey gave up twoout double and walk but retired Matt Joyce on a called third strike for his 12th save in 14 tries. J.P. Howell (2-2) took the loss. Royals 3, Red Sox 1, 14 inns. BOSTON Eric Hosmer doubled to lead off the 14th inning and scored when Mike Aviles bunted the ball over the head of charging first baseman Adrian Gonzalez to give the Royals a victory over the Red Sox. Louis Coleman (1-2) went two innings and twice pitching out of jams. Joakim Soria struck out three in the bottom of the 14th to earn his 18th save and send Boston to just its fourth loss in 21 games. The Red Sox threatened to score five times in the last six innings, but the Royals made their best chance count. Hosmer doubled off Randy Williams (0-1) to start the 14th.

Wealth gap widens between whites, minorities

By HOPE YEN Associated Press WASHINGTON The wealth gaps between whites and minorities have grown to their widest levels in a quarter-century. The recession and uneven recovery have erased decades of minority gains, leaving whites on average with 20 times the net worth of blacks and 18 times that of Hispanics, according to an analysis of new Census data. The analysis shows the racial and ethnic impact of the economic meltdown, which ravaged housing values and sent unemployment soaring. It offers the most direct government evidence yet of the disparity between predominantly younger minorities whose main asset is their home and older whites who are more likely to have 401(k) retirement accounts or other stock holdings. Whats pushing the wealth of whites is the rebound in the stock market and corporate savings, while younger Hispanics and AfricanAmericans who bought homes in the last decade because that was the American dream are seeing big declines, said Timothy Smeeding, a University of Wisconsin-Madison professor who specializes in income inequality. The median wealth of white U.S. households in 2009 was $113,149, compared with $6,325 for Hispanics and $5,677 for blacks, according to the analysis released today by the Pew Research Center. Those ratios, roughly 20 to 1 for blacks and 18 to 1 for Hispanics, far exceed the low mark of 7 to 1 for both groups reached in 1995, when the nations economic expansion lifted many low-income groups to By DANNY ROBBINS Associated Press the middle class. The white-black wealth gap is also the widest since the census began tracking such data in 1984, when the ratio was roughly 12 to 1. I am afraid that this pushes us back to what the Kerner Commission characterized as two societies, separate and unequal, said Roderick Harrison, a former chief of racial statistics at the Census Bureau, referring to the 1960s presidential commission that examined U.S. race relations. The great difference is that the second society has now become both black and Hispanic. Stock holdings play an important role in the economic well-being of white households. Stock funds, IRA and Keogh accounts as well as 401(k) and savings accounts were responsible for 28 percent of whites net worth, compared with 19 percent for blacks and 15 percent for Hispanics. According to the Pew study, the housing boom of the early to mid-2000s boosted the wealth of Hispanics in particular, who were disproportionately employed in the thriving construction industry. Hispanics also were more likely to live and buy homes in states such as California, Florida, Nevada and Arizona, which were in the forefront of the real estate bubble, enjoying early gains in home values. But those gains quickly shriveled in the housing bust. After reaching a median wealth of $18,359 in 2005, the wealth of Hispanics who derived nearly two-thirds of their net worth from home equity declined by 66 percent by 2009. Among blacks, who now have the highest unemployment rate at 16.2 percent, their household wealth fell 53 percent from $12,124 to $5,677. In contrast, the median household wealth of whites dipped a modest 16 percent from $134,992 to $113,149, cushioned in part by a stock market recovery that began in mid-2009. The findings are a reminder if one was needed of what a large share of blacks and Hispanics live on the economic margins, said Paul Taylor, director of Pew Social & Demographic Trends. When the economy tanked, theyre the groups that took the heaviest blows. The latest data come as President Barack Obama and congressional leaders try to reach a deal to avoid a U.S. default on its financial obligations after Aug. 2. Democrats and Republicans have been wrangling over proposals that could cut trillions of dollars from programs such as Medicare and Social Security; they are divided over whether to bring in new tax revenue, such as by closing corporate tax loopholes or increasing taxes for the wealthy. The NAACP and other black groups urged Obama to resist deep cuts to housing assistance or safety net programs, saying it would disproportionately hurt urban areas with high poverty and unemployment. The U.S. poverty rate currently stands at 14.3 percent, with the ranks of the working-age poor at the highest level since the 1960s. Some analysts believe the poverty rate will climb higher when new figures are released in September. Typically in recessions, minorities suffer from being last hired and first fired. They are likely to lose jobs more rapidly at the beginning of the recession, and are far slower to gain jobs as the economy recovers, said

Gunman smooth, cool as he fired Shooter sentenced to life in Ark.

By JEANNIE NUSS Associated Press DALLAS Guests had just finished singing Happy Birthday to an 11-year-old boy when his father spoke to him briefly, then pulled out a gun and shot the childs mother, four of her relatives and himself, said a disc jockey who witnessed the shooting spree at a Texas roller rink. Tan Do, 35, was smooth, cool as he shot his victims at close range, DJ Allen Tillotson told The Associated Press on Monday. He knew exactly the people he wanted to shoot and paused only to reload a weapon that had been hidden in his pants, Tillotson said. After he went for the wife, he went for the next lady, then a man, then a young lady, he said. Do killed his estranged wife Trini Do, 29; two of her sisters, Lynn Ta, 16, and Michelle Ta, 28; her brother, Hien Ta, 21; and her sister-in-law, Thuy Nguyen, 25. Four others were wounded. At the end of the Saturday night rampage, Tran Do shot himself. Tillotson said he was on his way to get a garbage can to clean up the DJ booth when the shooting began. I thought I was going to be dead, but Jesus had me, the 19-year-old said. Police in suburban Grand Prairie have concluded the attack was planned. Domestic violence had been going on for quite some time, and he used the party to kill these people, department spokesman John Brimmer said. Trini Dos aunt, Janice Tran, told the AP that Tan Do loved his wife but had trouble controlling his temper and the couple argued constantly, often about money. Tran said she and other relatives tried to help keep the peace, but Tan Do had attitude problems that were getting worse. Lately, we (gave) up because we did not do any good, said Tran, who lives in lives in Fort Smith, Ark. Tran said she helped Trini Do, her parents and her siblings emigrate from Vietnam to western Arkansas in 1994. Michelle Ta lived in North Texas, and Lynn Ta, Hien Ta and Nguyen lived in Fort Smith, Tran said. Its very hard, Tran said. Every time when I think about Trini and Michelle and Hien, its hard. Trini Do obtained a protective order last December against Tan Do but had it withdrawn earlier this year against a prosecutors advice because she wanted to give him another chance. She also sought a divorce in 2008 but withdrew that filing months later after Tan Do begged her to come back, Tran said. Trini Do said in her request for a protective order that there was a pattern of physical violence and threats, according to The Dallas Morning News and KTVT-TV in Dallas. They included an incident early last year in which she claimed Tan Do fired shots into the ceiling after threatening to shoot her.

NKorea food shortage at worst

By JEAN H. LEE Associated Press

Harrison, who is now a sociologist at Howard University. One suspects that blacks who lost jobs in the recession, or who have tried to help family members or relatives who did, have now spent whatever savings or other cashable assets they had. Other findings: About 35 percent of black households and 31 percent of Hispanic households had zero or negative net worth in 2009, compared with 15 percent of white households. In 2005, the comparable shares were 29 percent for blacks, 23 percent for Hispanics and 11 percent for whites. Asians lost their top ranking to whites in median household wealth, dropping from $168,103 in 2005 to $78,066 in 2009. Like Hispanics, many Asians were concentrated in states like California hit hard by the housing downturn. More recent arrivals of new Asian immigrants, who tend to be poor, also pushed down their median wealth. Across all race and ethnic groups, the wealth gap between rich and poor widened. The share of wealth held by the top 10 percent of U.S. households increased from 49 percent in 2005 to 56 percent in 2009. The threshold for entry into the wealthiest top 10 percent, however, dipped lower: from $646,327 in 2005 to $598,435.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. They filed out of the courtroom to decide the fate of a man who shot two soldiers outside a military recruiting station in Arkansas. Then, they prayed. As Abdulhakim Muhammad stood trial for killing one soldier and wounding the other, his victims families acted as his jurors. On Monday, six relatives and the soldier he wounded accepted a plea deal that pulled the death penalty off the table after they deliberated about Muhammads likely endless list of appeals and the possibility that he could get off scot-free if the trial continued. What we did would be the same thing as the jury, said Daris Long, whose son died two years ago after Muhammad fired an assault rifle at him. As part of the plea agreement, Muhammad acknowledged his guilt to the families of Pvt. William Andrew Long, who died in the shooting, and Pvt. Quinton Ezeagwula, who still has shrapnel in his body from the bullets. Muhammad has already confessed to authorities and to media outlets, including The Associated Press, but he has said the shooting was justified because American troops were killing his fellow Muslims in the Middle East. On Monday, Muhammad didnt get a soapbox. Instead, the judge sentenced him to life in prison without parole, plus 11 more life sentences and an additional 180 years in prison. Since Muhammads trial started last week, prosecutors have portrayed the 2009 shooting as a horrific murder. Ezeagwula testified about watching his friend, 23-year-old Long, fall to the ground as bullets him them. Longs mother, Janet, recalled hearing the gunshots that killed her son as she waited in the parking lot outside the recruiting center.

Mauled teen thought he would die

By RACHEL DORO Associated Press

ANCHORAGE, Alaska The teens had been advised to play dead if they encountered a grizzly during their excursion in the Alaska wilderness. But with the massive, snarling bear suddenly looming over them, 17-year-old Sam Gottsegen of Denver and the other participants of a backcountry survival course did what so many others would have done: They ran. The bear pounced on some of the students, including Gottsegen, who was among four seriously injured. When I heard that bear, when I saw it, it was all just like natural instincts, he said. All night long I was thinking I should have played dead. The attack Saturday night in the Talkeetna Mountains north of Anchorage came as the group of seven was nearing the end of the 30-day survival course. The teens were at a stage where they could try out their skills without adults around. Playing dead after seeing a grizzly was part of the training, said Don Ford, the Alaska director of the National Outdoor Leadership School, the group that operated the backcountry program. We recognize people are going to react differently, he said Monday at a news conference in Palmer. You dont know how were going to react. The bear came really fast, that was super unusual. The students were yelling as well, alerting bears possibly in the area that there were humans nearby, Ford said. But this bear might not have heard them because of a rock outcropping in the area, he said. As the grizzly furiously thrashed him about, all Gottsegen could think about was what he would miss: college, traveling, life. I thought: Im going to die, he told The Associated Press from his hospital bed in Anchorage. I thought, This just cant be happening to me. Then the bear left, only to return a moment later to continue mauling him and his other teenage friends. Only three in the group escaped without injury. Authorities believe the bear was aggressive because it was with its cub. Gottsegen said no one ever saw a cub. The group was hiking through bushes that got so thick they decided to wade through a river, walking in single file. Around a bend in the river, Joshua Berg, 17, of New City, N.Y., began yelling Bear! Bear! The bear took him down first. The animal made angry, growling noises as it attacked, Gottsegen said. It was so sudden. There was no time to pull out their bear deterrent spray, and no one had a gun. Berg, badly wounded, called for someone to set off the personal locator beacon they carried for emergencies. When Gottsegen was attacked, he kicked at the grizzly, to no avail.

SUNAN, North Korea Its an unlikely sight: hundreds of ostriches, a bird native to sunny Africa, squatting and squabbling in the morning chill on a sprawling farm in North Korea. Even stranger: In winter, some wear quilted vests. Built on the heels of a 1990s famine, the ostrich farm was a bold, expensive investment that the state hoped would help feed its people and provide goods to export. Years later, ostrich meat is the specialty at some of Pyongyangs finest restaurants, but appears out of the reach of millions of hungry North Koreans. The showcase farm is an idiosyncratic approach to one of the biggest issues confronting North Korea: food. North Koreas food shortage has reached a crisis point this year, aid workers say, largely because of shocks to the agricultural sector, including torrential rains and the coldest winter in 60 years. Six million North Koreans are living on a knife edge and will go hungry without immediate food aid, the World Food Program said, calling in April for $224 million in emergency aid. North Korean officials have made quiet pleas for help, citing rising global food prices, shortfalls in fertilizer and the winter freeze that killed their wheat harvest. In return, they agreed to strict monitoring conditions a rare concession. Donations, however, have not been flooding the nation considered a political pariah for its nuclear defiance and alleged human rights abuses. The European Union is pitching in $14.5 million (10 million euros), only enough to feed one-tenth of the hungry until the October harvest. The U.S. has not said whether it will provide aid.
