2011 Toast to the City

Delphos raises a glass

2011 Canal Days Chair Tony Wehri, left, and Mayor Michael Gallmeier lead the toast to the city at Thursdays annual event. BY NANCY SPENCER [email protected] DELPHOS Five hundred Delphites raised a glass to the citys achievements Thursday evening at the 2011 Canal Days Toast to the City. Mayor Michael Gallmeier and Canal Days Chair Tony Wehri led the toast, telling those in the capacity crowd they should be proud to call Delphos home. The Pimpas family, John, Penny Gerdeman and Paula Nakos, brought the Greek flavor for the Grecian Nights theme chronicling how they came to Delphos. Their father, Gust Pimpas, traveled back to Greece in 1955 with his mother, who was recently widowed. While riding with his cousin in a horse-drawn wagon, Gust caught a glimpse of his future wife, Joann, on the balcony of her familys home. It was love at first sight and the pair married on June 19, 1955. Dad always said he got

On June 8, 1955, the newlyweds boarded the SS Andrea Doria for the two-week voyage to the United States. A little more than a year later, when approaching the coast of Nantucket, bound for New York City, the Andrea Doria collided with the eastbound MS Stockholm of the Swedish American Line in what became one of historys most infamous maritime disasters. The couple first settled in Canton and Gust ran a laundromat with his bride putting her sewing skills to use sewing on buttons and mending garments. After the laundromat caught fire and burned to the ground, the pair moved to Waterloo and Gust managed a restaurant. When the eatery closed, he became a truck driver, passing through Delphos three or four times each week and liked what he saw. When a truck stop located just west of Delphos on Lincoln Highway came up for sale, the couple jumped at the opportunity. They piled us all in the woody station wagon and we drove the three or four hours from Waterloo to Delphos. Dad pulled in to a parking spot near Main and Second streets and said, This is where were going to live, Nakos said. The Pimpases also operated the Line Up Restaurant on Main Street in Delphos before purchasing TJs Pizza on West Fifth Street and the Topp Chalet was born. We love what we do; we love to cook and we love to celebrate, Gerdeman said. We get to do that every day. Following brief remarks by Canal Commission President Ed Ulrich, who invited everyone to visit the Canal Commission Museum, the Pimpas family led the crowd in several traditional Greek dances before turning the evening over to the On the Beach Band.

Latest rains help crops

BY MIKE FORD [email protected] Corn and soybean farmers had been sweltering under the summer sun. July was hot and dry, causing brows to moisten but kernels and pods to suffer. The agriculture community was on red alert but late August and early September rainfall has given some plants a boost possibly saving yields from being catastrophically bad. The rain we have had in the last few weeks has surprisingly helped some of the late-maturing corn. We have grain on some of the corn that was looking very poor in August. It isnt looking nearly as bad as it was but its still very immature, said Van Wert County OSU Extension Educator Dr. Curtis Young. Going forward, farmers want crops to dry out in the field before the first frost. Young hopes to have sunny days and for the first severe overnight dip to hold off until late October. The first killing frost will damage soybeans if they arent dried down or even approaching it. When that frost sets in, it could stop the drying process, depending on where corn is in its development. It could delay harvest and give us green, wet soybeans that account for basi-

They must be stored dry, so farmers will likely wait to harvest crops to avoid spending money to artificially dry their grain. Farmers will want crops to dry down in the fields because they need their grain See CROPS, page 2

Safety key at annual Youth Shoot

BY KIRK DOUGAL Staff writer MIDDLE POINT There will be games, prizes, food and a lot of fun Saturday at the Van Wert County Outdoorsmen Associations 5th annual Youth Day. There is also a serious reason for taking kids to the event. Its educational and once they get their education, they can build their skills, Charlie Davis, president of the association, said. But safety is the key. If we can prevent one firearm accident by kids learning the right way to handle firearm and archery equipment, then its all worth it. Theres a lot of fun to be had out there in the shooting sports but it has to be done the right way. The response to the annual event has been incredible with more than 90 area youth participating in a variety of shooting events last year. Davis pointed out the local business community has also

shown tremendous support for the project with more than 40 sponsors signing on board, represented with banners at the shooting range. It is their generous sponsorship that allows the Outdoorsmen to put on the event with all the cost of the equipment, prizes and ammunition at no cost to the participants. On Saturday, youngsters will have the opportunity to experience firing air rifles, See SAFETY, page 2

at 15 percent moisture for storage. If corn reaches black layer, which forms between the kernel and where it attaches to the cob when the grain reaches maturity, they may look at harvesting in mid or late October, said Putnam County OSU Extension Educator Glen Arnold.

He went on to say farmers hope corn will reach maturity before the first frost but if it has reached black layer and hasnt had a chance to dry further, it will be around 32-35 percent moisture. He added that soybeans are finishing their pods and will begin to ripen shortly. Beans, too, are behind schedule this year but will benefit from late summer rainfall. The Delphos Rotary Club would like to thank the many sponsors for their help and support of the summer Concert in the Park series. Thanks to all the organizations that provided concessions before the concerts: St. Johns Band Boosters, the Delphos Museum of Postal History Board of Directors, the Delphos Canal Commission, Upward Basketball/ Cheerleading Program, Trinity United Methodist Church Missions Committee and Cub Scout Pack 42 for making popcorn. Also thanks to the Delphos Parks and Recreation Department for keeping the park area clean and inviting. We are especially grateful to the Hanser family for the pavilion, which is beautifully placed to hold concerts. Most of all, we want to thank everyone who attended and enjoyed the concerts.

COLUMBUS (AP) A death row inmate scheduled to die next month for slashing a 72-year-old womans neck during a robbery that netted the womans penny collection deserves mercy because of a horrific childhood, attorneys argued before the Ohio Parole Board on Thursday. Joseph Murphy was beaten, starved and sexually abused growing up in West Virginia, including an instance in which his father allowed a local moonshiner to rape the boy in exchange for a drink, attorneys told the board and argued in a filing presented to the panel. Murphys attorneys also said the board should consider the Ohio Supreme Courts 4-3 decision upholding Murphys 1992 death sentence, in which one of the three dissenting judges included then Chief Justice Thomas Moyer. The courts vote is significant because the high court is rarely divided on death penalty cases, and Moyer, who died last year, was a death penalty supporter who practically always upheld death sentences. Retired Justice Herbert Brown, the only surviving justice to vote against death for Murphy, told the parole board Thursday he had never seen such a tragic background. The state says Murphy should not be spared because he showed no mercy to victim Ruth Predmore in Marion in 1987 and has not shown remorse or personally offered strong reasons why he should be spared. Prosecutors told the board in a filing that Murphy threatened Predmore ahead of time with an extortion note. They also said that, as a boy, Murphy received help from social service agencies in four states. The board will make its recommendation next week to Gov. John Kasich, who has the final say on whether to spare Murphy. The execution is scheduled for Oct. 18.

Antioch College plans to reopen

YELLOW SPRINGS (AP) An Ohio liberal-arts college will welcome students next week, about two years after it was purchased by an alumni group after it closed due to financial problems. Antioch College in Yellow Springs reopens as an independent college, with classes starting Oct. 4. The 35 students arriving Sept. 24 for orientation will have their four-year tuition covered by the Horace Mann Fellowship, named after the schools first president. The southwest Ohio school founded in 1852 is known for its social activism and alumni that include Coretta Scott King and Twilight Zone creator Rod Serling. It closed in 2008 and was purchased by alumni the following year. As part of its bachelors degree programs, students complete six terms of full-time work, with the final assignment abroad or in a multicultural setting.

would give minority candidates another opportunity to have a seat in Congress. I think its far past the time for there to be more than one minority person in the state of Ohio, especially based on population, Williams said. Chris Redfern, the chairman of Ohios Democratic Party, told reporters Thursday that map does not ensure that another minority candidate could win the Columbus-area seat because primary battles could knock them out of the contest. Already, former U.S. Rep. Mary Jo Kilroy, who is white, has hinted she may run again under the new boundaries in the wake of her 2010 defeat to Stivers. The party is considering whether it would launch a ballot repeal effort of the proposed map, should it become law. Redfern said they were also looking at ways to challenge the maps legality. We are prepared to use every tool at our disposal to fight this unfair, anti-voter congressional map, he said. Senate Democrats are discussing whether to introduce their own map in that chamber, though it would be unlikely to get much traction. Republicans hold a 23-10 edge there. Sen. Keith Faber, who chairs the Senates redistricting committee, has said its too early to say whether the Senate will swiftly pass it. Faber said he thought the map was constitutional, and incorporates a lot of comments members received around the state. I think there is general acceptance that when you go from 18 to 16, in many cases youre allocating disappointment, Faber said Wednesday. A new congressional map needs to be adopted by Dec. 7, or 90 days before the March 6 primary, at the earliest. An elections bill that also cleared the House on Thursday would move the primary date to May, though it wouldnt immediately take effect. Democrats had earlier backed out of a deal to support the switch, protesting what they say is a rushed timeline for remapping the states U.S. House districts. Minority Leader Armond Budish had said that Democratic support for the immediate primary move, which requires seven Democrats to pass, was contingent on extra time being given for the public to review the GOP-drawn map.

Candidates bash stimulus

By STEVE PEOPLES Associated Press MANCHESTER, N.H. Republican presidential contenders have crisscrossed the nation bashing President Barack Obamas economic stimulus plans as a colossal waste of taxpayer money. But with an awkward frequency, these same candidates are campaigning at businesses that benefited from the presidents landmark stimulus package. With the cameras rolling, the Republicans celebrate the hard work of local entrepreneurs in places like Pella, Iowa, and Milford, N.H., while later condemning the federal resources that helped those entrepreneurs navigate the economic downturn. The campaign-trail rhetoric has intensified as Obama travels the country to call for a new package of spending and tax cuts to revitalize the nations stalled economy. He came into office and said, Oh I know how to create jobs; Ill spend billions and billions, trillions of dollars, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney recently told cheering supporters at the Derryfield Country Club, referring to Obama. I dont happen to think Barack Obamas a bad guy. I just dont think hes got a clue. But Romney himself made at least two campaign appearances this summer with stimulus beneficiaries. There are a half dozen such examples involving several candidates, former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman and Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann, among them. Huntsman last month toured the New Hampshire manufacturer Cirtronics, which received five stimulusrelated contracts worth $3.3 million since 2009, according to data posted by the federal government. A week later, Romney campaigned at the Iowa-based Vermeer Corp., which benefited from nearly $200,000 in stimulus funds. And Tim Pawlenty, before he left the presidential race, made similar visits in each of the two early voting states. This phenomenon has produced negative media attention in isolated cases, but taken together the visits highlight the candidates complicated relationships with the $78 billion stimulus program many Republican primary voters hate. The issue also underscores the often hypocritical nature of American politics politicians usually oppose the other partys policies, but support the people who benefit from them. The apparent inconsistencies offer opponents Republicans and Democrats alike fuel for political attacks. Every one of these candidates has a potential problem with respect to the stimulus, said Michael Dennehy, a GOP operative who led Sen. John McCains presidential campaign four years ago. Even those Republicans who have not used stimulus

IT WAS NEWS THEN

One Year Ago During Canal Days visitors to the Delphos Museum of Postal History will have the opportunity to see two very new and different exhibits. This will be the first opportunity for the public to see the new exhibits of the museum and Artfest, presented by the Delphos Area Art Guild. 25 Years Ago 1986 The first meeting of the year for the Growing Together Ohio Child Conservation League club was held recently at the home of Anne Hemker, hostess. The club toured the herb garden of Arlene Wegesin of Delphos. She showed the group ways to dry herbs and told how she cooks with herbs. The raffle was won by Anne Hemker. She received an African violet. A photo was submitted by Leah Hohenbrink of the unloading dock at the tin shop of New Delphos Manufacturing Company, taken in 1941. Standing on the dock were Jim Stegaman, Paul Ernst, Oris Sawmiller and Lily Harpster, an aunt of Leah. Sitting were Kenneth Harpster, Leahs father and Clarence Rupert. Fort Jennings golf team defeated Lima Central Catholic 159-162 Monday. Fort Jennings Bruce Schroeder and LCCs W. Bailey took medalist honors with 38s. Runner-up medalist honors went to Fort Jennings golfers Jim Cook and Dan Good with 40s. 50 Years Ago 1961 The chapter of Alpha Delta Omega Sorority met Thursday evening in the home of Mrs. Richard Schmelzer on South Jefferson Street with Mrs. James Feathers serving as co-hostess. After the business meeting a discussion was held on Vacation Experiences. Games were enjoyed with prizes going to Mrs. Gene Buettner and Mrs. Carl Mann. Winners Thursday night at the Delphos Kart Track for single engine were: Don Mesker; slow heat; Don Moore, first, slow feature; Don Mesker, second, slow feature; Bob Van Meter, slow consolation; Glen Snyder, fast heat; Glen Snyder, first fast feature; Bob Swartz, second, fast feature, and Chuck Ardner, fast consolation. A joint meeting of the Dayton, Cincinnati and Lima Academics of Osteopathic Medicine was held Sept. 14 at the Imperial House Motel at Dayton, with doctors and their wives from this area attending. Attending from Delphos and area were Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Clark of Delphos, Drs. Elmer and Mary Yinger of St. Marys, Dr. and Mrs. R. J. Biery, Dr. and Mrs. Harry M. Elsner, Dr. and Mrs. H. R. Stallbohm and Dr. and Mrs. Howard E. Wisterman, all of Lima. 75 Years Ago 1936 The new cement dam at the north end of the lock at the paper mill in the Miami and Erie Canal was threatened Wednesday morning when water completely undermined the obstruction. The dam was built under a WPA project this summer but was not entirely completed because of the lack of money. The Delphos tennis season has been officially closed. The Junior tennis tournament has been completed under the sponsorship of the Delphos Recreation Association. Ronald Ridenour, South Pierce Street, was declared Junior champion of Delphos when he defeated Junior Gladen in the finals. Gertrude Brown, representing The Childrens Home Society of Ohio, is coming to Delphos and other Allen County towns soon to discuss child welfare with local citizens and to obtain financial assistance for this dependable childplacing organization now entering its 44th year of increasing service to dependent boys and girls.

Boehner says he sleeps well, isnt angry

Moderately confused

WASHINGTON (AP) House Speaker John Boehner describes himself as a pretty simple guy who sleeps well at night and doesnt get angry despite the frustrations of working with a Democratic president and his own oftenrecalcitrant Republican colleagues. Boehner, answering questions after a speech on jobs at the Economic Club of Washington D.C., also compared his youth, when he grew up with 11 siblings, to his current job. The chaos, he said, is the same thing I deal with every day. And one benefit of working in his fathers bar in Cincinnati was that you have to learn to deal with every jackass who walks through the door. Relaxed and joking, Boehner said he was happy that I got the job of Speaker after Republicans captured the House last year, but added that Im not having any fun. Somebody show me where the fun is. He said that while Im not leaving anytime soon, hed like to accomplish my mission and get out. He also said he has no interest in being the vice presidential candidate on the GOP ticket next year. Its hard enough for me to go to funerals of people I know, much less people I dont know. Boehner said he and President Barack Obama have a very good relationship although they come from different worlds and sometimes their conversations are like two different people from two different planets. But he said that during his ultimately unsuccessful negotiations with Obama last summer on coming up with a deficit reduction plan, I slept very well every night and I never worried about the outcome... Ive done the stress thing before. It doesnt accomplish anything. He said dealing with 87 Republican freshmen in the House, many with tea party affiliations, has not really been a big challenge, and that there were some more senior members who, God bless them, no matter what I do its not good enough for them. Speaking of his efforts to get Republicans to go along with the final deficit reduction proposal, he said that nobody on my staff ever heard me scream. I dont do anger. But he said there were a couple of freshmen, a couple of young whippersnappers, who seemed to have all the answers. Boehner, a smoker, said he told them that he wasnt going to open the door until he got their support and I said Ive got a week-and-a-halfs-worth of cigarettes in that chest over there. It still took about 45 minutes. Asked if he ever wanted to be a pro athlete when he was a high school linebacker, Boehner, who ran a plastics and packaging firm in Ohio, said, I always wanted to be a salesman and thats what I did.... I thought I was going to do that the rest of my life, but along the way I got involved in my neighborhood homeowners association and I ended up in the U.S. Congress... This could happen to you.

beneficiaries as campaign props such as Texas Gov. Rick Perry may have trouble reconciling campaign rhetoric with their records. Perry once made headlines by refusing $556 million in stimulus funds for his states unemployment insurance program. But since February 2009, Texas government agencies and businesses have received more than $17 billion from the recovery act. Thats more than any state in the union but one. And the influx of stimulus funds some of which Perry used to plug budget holes came over the same period Texas enjoyed significant job growth, an accomplishment Perry cites at nearly every campaign stop. But he railed against the federal policy in his 2010 book, Fed Up! Our Fight to Save America From Washington. We are fed up with bailout after bailout and stimulus plan after stimulus plan, each one of which tosses principle out the window along with taxpayer money, he wrote. Bachmann, a conservative firebrand who regularly knocks the federal stimulus, held a recent campaign event at South Carolinas Trident Technical College, an institution that last year received a stimulus grant to help boost its healthcare education programs. Critics cried hypocrisy, but her record as the representative for Minnesotas 6th Congressional District raises further questions.

US Supreme Court halts Texas execution

By MICHAEL GRACZYK Associated Press HUNTSVILLE, Texas The U.S. Supreme Court halted the execution Thursday of a black man convicted of a double murder in Texas 16 years ago after his lawyers contended his sentence was unfair because of a question asked about race during his trial. Duane Buck, 48, was spared from lethal injection when the justices, without extensive comment, said they would review an appeal in his case. Two appeals, both related to a psychologists testimony that black people were more likely to commit violence, were before the court. One was granted; the other was denied. Buck was sentenced to death for the fatal shootings of his ex-girlfriend and a man in her apartment in July 1995. Bucks guilt is not being questioned, but his lawyers say the jury was unfairly influenced and that he should receive a new sentencing hearing. His attorneys appealed to the Supreme Court and Texas Gov. Rick Perry to block the execution, saying a psychologist testified that black people were more likely to commit violence. Bucks case is one of six convictions that then-Texas Attorney General John Cornyn a political ally of Perry who is now a Republican U.S. senator reviewed in 2000 and said needed to be reopened because of the racial reference. In the other five cases, new punishment hearings were held and each convict again was sentenced to die. State attorneys contend Bucks case was different from the others and that the racial reference was a small part of larger testimony about prison populations. Perry is a capital punishment supporter and as frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination his actions now are coming under closer scrutiny. During his 11 years in office, 235 convicted killers in Texas have been put to death. His office said he has chosen to halt just four executions, including one for a woman who later was executed. The reprieve from the nations highest court came nearly two hours into a sixhour window when Buck could have been taken to the death chamber. Texas officials, however, refused to move forward with the punishment while legal issues were pending.

His lawyers called to tell Buck of the reprieve and the inmate was praying in his cell when Texas Department of Criminal Justice spokesman Jason Clark approached. Praise the Lord! Buck told Clark. God is worthy to be praised. Gods mercy triumphs over judgment. I feel good. In its one-paragraph decision, the court said it stopped the punishment so it could further look at Bucks request, known as a writ of certiori. If the court decided against the writ, the justices said the reprieve would be lifted, making Buck eligible for receiving a new execution date. Buck was convicted of gunning down ex-girlfriend Debra Gardner, 32, and Kenneth Butler, 33, outside Houston on July, 30, 1995, a week after Buck and Gardner broke up. A third person, Bucks stepsister, Phyllis Taylor, also was wounded, though she has since forgiven Buck and sought for his death sentence to be commuted to life in prison. Bucks attorneys went to the Supreme Court after losing appeals in lower courts. A clemency request to the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles, all of whom are Perry appointees, also failed.

WH wary of Solyndra re-election effects

By MATTHEW DALY Associated Press WASHINGTON The Obama administration was worried about the financial health of a troubled solar energy company even as officials publicly declared the company in good shape, newly released emails show. An email from a White House budget official to a co-worker discussed the likely effect of a default by Solyndra Inc. on President Barack Obamas re-election campaign. The optics of a Solyndra default will be bad, an official from the Office of Management and Budget wrote in a Jan. 31 email to a senior OMB official. The timing will likely coincide with the 2012 campaign season heating up. The email, released by the House Energy and Commerce Committee as part of its investigation into a half-billion dollar federal loan to Solyndra, said the budget official wanted White House budget director Jacob Lew to warn Energy Secretary Steven Chu about the risk posed by Solyndra, which was once the poster child for the Obama administrations clean energy program but by early this year was teetering on collapse. At the time of the email, the Energy Department was pushing to release an additional $67 million to Solyndra. The Fremont, Calif.-based solar panel maker received a total of $528 million in federal loans before declaring bankruptcy Aug. 31 and laying off 1,100 workers. The Silicon Valley company was the first renewableenergy company to receive a loan guarantee under the stimulus law, and the Obama administration frequently touted Solyndra as a model for its clean energy program. President Barack Obama visited the companys headquarters last year. Even as Obama declared that the future is here during a May 2010 visit to Solyndra, warning signs were being sent from within the government and from outside analysts who questioned the companys viability as a going concern. At least three reports by federal watchdogs over the past two years warned that the Energy Department had not fully developed the controls needed to manage the multibillion-dollar loan program. Emails obtained by The Associated Press show that a White House official dismissed reports about

Solyndras gloomy future. An email from Greg Nelson, a White House official who had been involved in the planning of Obamas May 2010 trip to Solyndras headquarters, to a Solyndra executive downplayed a July 2010 news story in a trade publication that criticized the companys financial health. Seems B.S., Nelson wrote. A 2009 report by the Energy Departments inspector general warned that the DOE lacked the necessary quality control for the loan guarantee program, which was created in 2005 to support clean-energy projects that could not obtain conventional bank loans due to high risks. In July 2010, the Government Accountability Office said the Energy Department had bypassed required steps for funding awards to five of 10 applicants that received conditional loan guarantees. The report did not publicly identify the companies that were not properly vetted, but congressional investigators say one of them was Solyndra. The company was the first to receive a loan guarantee after the program was expanded under the 2009 stimulus law.

Wildcats push away Lady Lancers in NWC Jays hope to grab

By JIM METCALFE [email protected] FORT JENNINGS Jeffersons girls soccer team had struggled finishing shots in its first six matches. Not so much Thursday as the Lady Wildcats shot and found the mark on a regular basis, downing Lincolnview 7-2 in Northwest Conference action at Keith Hamel Memorial Field in Fort Jennings. Weve been working on the finesse end of the offense, finishing our shots. Weve been telling the girls the more shots you take, especially ongoal, the better chance you have of scoring, Jefferson coach Lindsey Drerup explained. We started off well and controlled a lot of the offense and we kept shooting. Its nice to see that hard work pay off. Lancer coach Katrina Smith wasnt happy with her teams start. For some reason, we came out flat and slow. We didnt come out strong at all, Smith acknowledged. We are a little sick and beat-up a little bit and that didnt help. Plus, with only three girls to sub in, that stuff affects us even more. The Wildcats (2-5, 1-1 NWC) peppered the goal with 27 shots (33 overall) versus 18 for the Lady Lancers (1-4, 0-2 NWC), with 22 overall. Both teams had good early looks at the goal: the Wildcats a 25-yarder by freshman Kylee Haehn defended by freshman keeper Julia Thatcher (11 saves) and at 32:20 on a 15-yarder from the right wing by senior Megan Golden that was just wide; and two shots just off the mark by Lancer junior Kylee Thatcher (37:17 and 35:20). The Lady Cats finally found the mark at 30:10; senior Elizabeth Schosker had an original shot from the right deflected off a defender and eventually, Gilden got a bouncing look that the keeper simply couldnt come up with for a 1-0 lead. The Red and White continued to attack but couldnt add a goal, while the Lancers shots remained off the mark against Jefferson senior netminder Cassidy Bevington (7 saves). It nearly became 2-0 at 20:25 when Schosker got behind the defense for a 1-on1 from the right wing but J. Thatcher deflected and controlled the orb. The visitors nearly tied it at 19:33 when they had a great chance: K. Thatcher had crossed it to wide-open junior Sarah Harris but her 8-yarder barely went over the crossbar. At 18:04, Jefferson senior Amanda Vorst hit the right post from 14 yards. The Wildcats got a second goal at 16:07 when Schosker got loose behind the defense and her 18-yard blast from the right post slipped through the keepers fingers and into the net. The Lancers then seemed to get some momentum but Covington stopped a 17-yarder by junior Haley McAbee and K. Thatcher had a great look behind the defense; with Bevington out to cut off the angle, Thatcher hit the right post from 14 yards. The Lancers did cut their deficit in half at 14:01. Off a nice middle lead pass by sophomore Cassie Hale, freshman Hannah McCleery got behind the defense and Bevington, who came out, and found the right side of the net. They almost tied it at the 13:04 when K. Thatcher got an open look but her shot was just wide right, while at 11:52, McAbee had an in-close shot denied by Bevington. The Wildcats then took over. At 10:27, off a turnover senior Carla Horstman got a look outside the tight post; the keeper leapt at her but her 14-yarder slid by her and into the net for a 3-1 edge. At 7:18, it became 4-1. Off another turnover, Haehn got a strong run to the right wing By JIM METCALFE [email protected]

Jefferson freshman Kylee Haehn is ready to make sure this ball gets into the net as Lincolnview sophomore Lydia Myers is far too late to stop her Thursday evening. Megan Gilden was credited with this goal off a mishandle but Haehn netted a hat trick to lead the Wildcats past the Lancers 7-2.
and unleashed a 15-yarder that got just under the keeper and into the near side of the net. Just five minutes later, it became 5-1, courtesy of a Haehn run down the right side and 12-yarder from the wing that got inside that post. Were getting better in a lot of the phases of the game. What I wanted to see was the intensity we showed against Ottoville (the second match) and I saw that tonight, Drerup added. We also maintained it. There are always ups and downs in a match but we were more up than down. Overall, we played a good match and that is pleasing. Smith also saw some things she liked; just not enough. We had some moments there where we threatened, just missing one wide-open shot and then hitting the bar. That seemed to take the wind out of our sails, she added. Its so easy to let down, especially when youre trailing most of the time. Unfortunately, that is true for a lot of teams, especially one that is as young and

new to varsity as we are. The Wildcats continued to control the ball most of the second half and kept forcing J. Thatcher to come up with saves. They made it 6-1 at 24:04 when Haehn again made a run down the right wide and fired a 14-yarder to the other side, completing her hat trick. The Lancers got within 6-2 at 4:13 when McCleery hooked up with K. Thatcher behind the defense, setting up a 1-on-1 look against junior backup keeper Paige Miller (4 saves, 5 shots) and finding the back of the from in close. Delphos finalized the scoring at 2:18 when junior Jenna Moreo made a long run from midfield to the right wing and her 15-yarder found the left side of the net past sophomore backup keeper Kennedy Mengerink, who replaced J. Thatcher at 7:10 when she was injured. Lincolnview hosts Coldwater 1 p.m. Saturday; Jefferson visits Ada 5 p.m. Monday.

Grove sweeps young Lady Lancers in NWC

By CHARLIE WARNIMONT Sentinel Sports Editor COLUMBUS GROVE Lincolnview and Columbus Grove have found wins on the volleyball court hard to come by this season. The two teams entered their Northwest Conference tilt with a combined two wins between them. Thursday night, it was the home-standing Bulldogs that would pick up their second win of the season defeating the Lancers in three sets. Being able to run off strings of points against a young Lancer squad, the Bulldogs claimed a 25-14, 25-18, 25-11 win to move to 2-7 on the season and 1-1 in the NWC. The Lancers are 1-4 on the season. Lincolnview opened the night staying with the Bulldogs as they trailed 6-3 early in set one. Thats when the Bulldogs offense started to click as they used three straight points and another 4-point run to take a 15-5 lead. Solid team play by the Bulldogs helped them extend that early 3-point lead. I thought we played very well tonight in all aspects of the game, Columbus Grove coach Kelly Lepley said. I thought we served well, we passed well, our setters did a good job and our hitters put the ball on the floor. We have struggled getting out of rotations but tonight it didnt seem to be too much of a problem. I told our hitters its their responsibility to get the ball over the net once it leaves the setters hands. They did a nice job. They really stepped up tonight. The Bulldog coach was concerned how the teams hitting would be Thursday night as they were playing without sophomore middle hitter Julia Wynn, who did not play because of a foot injury. Wynns injury forced the Bulldogs to go with a lineup they had not used before. We had a little adversity tonight as Julia was unable to go after hurting her foot Tuesday night. We went out there with a lineup we have never used before and the girls really stepped up. Im proud of the effort they gave tonight, Lepley said. They (Lincolnview) are a young team and I didnt feel they really had a true middle blocker. Our experienced players played through that. Senior Anna Ricker led the Bulldogs in kills with 14 and added three blocks. Sophomores Sammi Stechschulte and Elizabeth Selhorst also had nice matches up front as did senior Riley Eversole. Lincolnview got a sideout when Ashley McClure collected a kill and the Lancers scored two points before the Bulldogs used a kill by Ricker to get the serve back and run off four straight points for a 21-7 lead. Lincolnview made the final score respectable with a pair of 3-point runs before Grove closed out the first set at 25-14. The second set saw the Lancers take advantage of two Columbus Grove hitting errors for an early 4-2 edge. The Lancers were up 8-6 after an ace by Kelsey Mohr before the Bulldogs scored three straight points to go up 9-8. A McClure kill returned the serve to the Lancers and a pair of Grove hitting errors gave the Lancers a 12-9 lead. Columbus Grove got a sideout and ran off three points, two of them on aces by Stechschulte, as the Bulldogs were back on top 13-12. Lincolnview halted the Bulldog run on a McClure kill before Ricker did the same for Grove. The Bulldogs used their sideout to score three more points that put them in front 17-13. The Lancers were within 19-17 on a block-kill by Jodie Doner before Ricker

returned the serve to Grove with a kill. Columbus Grove ran off the next four points for a 24-17 lead before closing out the set on a serve into the net by Lincolnview after a sideout. We have found ourselves in big holes and have had a hard time coming through that, Lepley added. We have worked hard in practice to start strong and are working in practice, when we get to practice, to finish strong. I keep telling them dont wait for the other team to make mistakes because it may not happen. You have to finish it with a kill, block or ace. Thats the way we want to finish games, not waiting on the opponent to make a mistake. Coming off a big win in set two, the Bulldogs immediately went in front in the third set scoring the first five points. Lincolnview battled back to pull within 10-8. Thats where the comeback ended as Columbus Grove scored six of the next seven points for a 16-9 lead. Columbus Grove went up 24-9 before Lincolnview scored two straight points to trail 24-11. A kill by Riley Eversole ended the match. Nicole Langhals had 20 assists for the Bulldogs in the win and Stechschulte had four aces. Kelli Vorst and Rachel Schumaker both had nine digs. Columbus Grove won the junior varsity match in two sets 25-8, 25-9. Grove entertains St. Johns 10 a.m. Saturday, while Lincolnview hosts Parkway Monday.

Pirates post shutout of Lady Jays

By CHARLIE WARNIMONT Delphos Herald Correspondent DELPHOS Defense kept Delphos St. Johns in their non-league girls soccer match with Continental Thursday afternoon at The Graveyard. In the end, the Pirates were able to score goals late in each half as Continental walked away with a hard-fought 3-0 win over the Blue Jays. The win improved the Lady Pirates to 7-1 on the season, while the Blue Jays slipped to 2-4. Continental had a 39-15 edge in shots on-goal for the contest. Blue Jay keeper Madison Kreeger and her defensive mates did a good job of stifling the Pirate offense for most of each half until the Pirates were able to score late in each half. The Pirates two goals late in the second half helped Continental put a little more breathing room between themselves and the Blue Jays. We seem to be playing a lot of defense lately, St. Johns coach John Munoz said. We are doing very well defensively. We are still struggling to finish (shots) but the girls are working very hard as our possessions and passes are getting better every game. We just have to start finishing. The two teams traded offensive runs early in the contest before the Pirates dominated play for a long period of time, getting shot after shot on the Blue Jay goal. Their best scoring opportunities came on a pair of direct kick opportunities as Vanessa Koppenhofer sent a shot just wide of the left-side post and Alli Prowant put a shot on-goal that was grabbed by Kreeger. Kreeger also stopped a point-blank shot by Jasmine Pancake. Pancake got a foot on a shot that Kreeger initially knocked down but the Blue Jay goalie stood her ground and grabbed the second attempt. We had so many shots

that just went wide, hit a post, or were right at the keeper, Continental coach Toby Bidlack said. And weve had that at times this year. Hopefully we get that worked out. Their goalie did a real good job of reading angles and getting herself into the right position. A lot of the shots that went right at her was because she was in the right spot as she was moving her feet, especially the first half when we were taking shot after shot and she handled it well. Thats why it was close. The Blue Jays were able to end a long drought in the shot column when Courtney Grothouse finally took a shot near the 10-minute mark. Pirate goalie Leva Weller grabbed it and kept the contest scoreless. Kreeger got some help from her defense two minutes later when a defender headed a shot attempt over the goal after a Continental player chipped an attempt past her after she came out to play a loose play. Freshman Caitlin Geckle broke up this scoreless match with 5:10 left in the half as she put home a goal off a corner kick. Koppenhofer took the corner kick and played it into the box. Kreeger was unable to control the ball and Geckle was there to knock a shot home. The Pirates had a chance to make it 2-0 a little later as Taylor Williamson got behind the Blue Jay defense, picked up a clearing pass from a Pirate defender and went at Kreeger 1-on-1. She sent her shot just wide of the left post as Continental had a 1-0 halftime lead. Both teams had their chances on goal in the second half but neither team was able to score until the Pirates did with 12:02 left. Kiana Warnement scored the Pirates second goal on a penalty kick after a Blue Jay defender was called for a foul

just inside the box. Warnement sent a shot towards the left side of goal that got past Kreeger. Williamson finished the scoring with 6:20 left when she blasted a shot towards Kreeger after getting past a Delphos defender. Kreeger was able to get her hands on the attempt but was unable to stop it. The second half, the game was a little more wide open, which we think plays into our hands, Bidlack added. That allows us to use our speed and get our players into 1-on1 situations. We got a little stretched out between our forwards and defense but our forwards made a few plays. Taylors shot was hit so hard, there the shot just trickled past the keeper. Overall, I thought
The Cougars record sits at 4-4-1 after the victory. Just over a minute into the match, Van Werts Joey Hurless got the ball and found a hole in the Spartan defense. He took the ball near the goal and shot just past Lima Senior keeper, Nate Biederman, for a goal to give the Cougars a 1-0 lead at the 38:39 mark of the first half. The 28-minute scoring drought was broken when Daniel Thompson found Caleb Markward open in front of the net for another Cougar goal, which made the

we played well but we will need to play better as we face Miller City Tuesday night. Munoz felt a slight halftime adjustment in their formation allowed them to get a few more shots on-goal. We changed our formation a little bit for the second half, Munoz said. We tried to move people around and I felt our rotation was better in the second half. We were getting some good runs and looks at the goal but for some reason we just cant seem to get one in the goal. Kreeger was credited with 23 saves in the match and Weller had nine saves for the Pirates. St. Johns hosts Elida 1 p.m. Saturday.

Bill Keller vs. the religious aliens

TERRY MATTINGLY

www.delphosherald.com

Less than a year after 9/11, a New York Times columnist stunned the newspapers remaining conservative readers by suggesting that both the Vatican and al-Qaida were on the wrong side in the global war against oppression. The struggle within the church in recent decades, he argued, is interesting as part of a larger struggle within the human race, between the forces of tolerance and absolutism. That is a struggle that has given rise to great migrations (including the one that created this country) and great wars (including one we are fighting this moment against a most virulent strain of intolerance). After all, he noted: This is ... the church that gave us the Crusades and the Inquisition. The symbolism of Is the Pope Catholic? increased a year later when the self-proclaimed collapsed Catholic who wrote the essay was selected as the new executive editor of the Times. Now, shortly before stepping down as editor, Bill Keller has ignited another firestorm with a Times column arguing that religious believers -- especially evangelicals and conservative Catholics -- should face stricter scrutiny when seeking higher office. After all, he noted, if a candidate insists that space aliens dwell among us, isnt it

On Religion
crucial to know if these beliefs will shape future policies? Yet Keller also claimed: I honestly dont care if Mitt Romney wears Mormon undergarments beneath his Gap skinny jeans, or if he believes that the stories of ancient American prophets were engraved on gold tablets and buried in upstate New York, or that Mormonisms founding prophet practiced polygamy (which was disavowed by the church in 1890). Every faith has its baggage. ... I grew up believing that a priest could turn a bread wafer into the actual flesh of Christ. What gave this manifesto legs online was his decision to draft tough questions for suspicious believers such as Romney, Rick Perry, Michele Bachmann and Rick Santorum. After all, he argued, voters need to know if a candidate is going to be a Trojan horse for a sect that believes it has divine instructions on how we should be governed.

For starters, he said, journalists should ask these candidates if America is a Christian nation and what this would mean in practice. And if elected, would they hesitate before naming a Muslim or atheist as a federal judge? Voters also need to know if candidates hold orthodox Darwinian views on evolution. Journalist Anthony Sacramone, who blogs at the journal First Things, was one of many conservatives who immediately turned Kellers questions inside out. For example, he thought reporters could ask some candidates: Do you think that anyone who believes in the supernatural is delusional? If so, do you believe they should be treated medically? Heres another one: Do you believe that there is such a thing as life unworthy of life? Explain. The problem with Kellers essay, argued Amy Sullivan, author of The Party Faithful: How and Why Democrats are Closing the God Gap, is that it settled for aiming tough questions at Republicans, instead of seeking relevant questions sure to probe the beliefs of all candidates. If a candidate brings up his faith on the campaign trail, she noted, blogging for Time, there are two main questions journalists need to ask: (1) Would your religious beliefs have any bearing on the actions you would take in office? And (2) If so, how?

Another reason Kellers piece created controversy and hostility was that it contained crucial errors, such as grouping Santorum -- an active Catholic -- with GOP candidates affiliated with fervid subsets of evangelical Christianity. It didnt help, noted Sullivan, that his piece read like a parody of an outof-touch, secular, Manhattan journalist, with its references to evangelicals as mysterious and suspect. It was also easy to contrast the tone of Kellers broadside with the values he preached in a 2005 letter -- entitled Assuring Our Credibility -- that tried to address the concerns of his newspapers critics, including many who frequent religious sanctuaries. It is especially important, he concluded, for all members of the Times staff to make a concerted effort ... to stretch beyond our predominantly urban, culturally liberal orientation, to cover the full range of our national conversation. ... This is important to us not because we want to appease believers or pander to conservatives, but because good journalism entails understanding more than just the neighborhood you grew up in.

17-year old with high blood pressure cant keep up

DEAR DR. GOTT: My 17-yearold son takes lisinopril for high blood pressure. Lately when he runs around 1 1/2 miles with his soccer team at practice, he has had a difficult time keeping up. He has been finishing about 25 feet behind the group and is usually out of breath. On one occasion he threw up. What makes this unusual is that he has run cross-country or track (a one- and two-mile run) for the last six years. He was the best runner on the soccer team. Does the lisinopril have any effect on his running? DEAR READER: In teens up to the age of 18, hypertension is defined as a reading greater than the 95th percentile for their age, height and gender. Measurements between 90 percent and 95 percent of that expected range are considered to be borderline, and individuals will run a higher risk of developing high blood pressure as adults. The prevalence of hypertension in children and adolescents is increasing, due in part to childhood obesity and a growing awareness of the disorder. The presence of hypertension may contribute to the early development of coronary artery disease in adults. Some common causes for teens to develop the condition include hormonal disorders, kidney problems and abnormalities of the aorta. The condition may also be inherited from one or both parents. Other causes include obesity, drinking alcohol or drug use, renal vascular disease, iatrogenic illness, endocrine causes including hyperthyroidism, the use of dietary supplements and over-the-counter preparations, and a sleep disorder than can increase blood pressure readings. Lisinopril carries side effects of stomach pain with or without nausea or vomiting, an irregular or slowed heartbeat, chest tightness, chest pain, muscle weakness, lightheadedness and, less common but possible, shortness of breath. I recommend that he see his prescribing physician to discuss the matter. I certainly cannot say that the medication is solely to blame; in fact, it may have no bearing at all. However, he is young and shouldnt be experiencing such a rapid decline

DEAR READER: Impetigo is a bacterial infection, so I am unclear why you were given prednisone. However, as long as the impetigo hasnt spread, you might try 1 tablespoon of white vinegar diluted in 16 ounces of water. Soak a cotton ball or gauze pad and apply to the area for 20 minutes two or three times a day. You might then want to apply an aloe vera ointment to the cleansed area following each application. Or, simmer 1/4 cup each of rosemary leaves and thyme in 2 cups water for about 15 minutes. Apply the cleansing mixture in the same manner several times each day.

Tomorrows Horoscope
SATURDAY, SEPT. 17, 2011 You could build quite a reputation for your leadership qualities in the year ahead. Because youll place great importance on organization, youll take the initiative and let others fall in line. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -Once it becomes clear to others that you truly believe in yourself, they will believe in you as well as the ideas you espouse. Remember that old adage: To thine own self be true. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- The aspects indicate that good fortune might come to you through others rather than from anything you do for yourself. The more friends you have, the better your chances of hitting the jackpot. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -Even when dealing with groups, youll have the unique faculty of making each person feel special and like theyre the center of your attention. This will gain you a lot of friends. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Two personal objectives can be achieved by finding a way to intertwine them. Once you do, each project will enhance the other and make them both more appealing. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Even if you dont deliberately seek competition, there is a good chance that it will find you. Dont be intimidated by it, however, because a challenge will stimulate your talents. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- This might be the day to attempt something that youve wanted to do for a long time. Even if you think youre not ready, try it anyway. You might surprise yourself at how well you do. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -Dont wait on your counterpart to take the initiative to start what needs doing -- you could wait all day. Get going yourself, and youll see others quickly falling in line. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- If youre sharp enough, youll spot several opportunities that could enhance your holdings and/or add to your resources in a significant manner. Keep an eye open. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -Instead of looking for others to lean upon, you should roll up your sleeves and do what needs doing yourself. Youll be glad you got off your duff. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Focus your efforts on something that youve been nurturing for far too long. Rearrange your normal schedule to accommodate what youd like to get off your to-do list. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -This is a day when things that worked out well for you in the past will once again turn out positively for you now. Concentrate on endeavors that youve had a hard time completing. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- There is a good chance that something you failed to achieve in the past tanked merely because you didnt try hard enough. Give it a go again, and persistence could pay off.

9/11 memorial: Mourners take home rubbings

By SAMANTHA GROSS Associated Press NEW YORK Nadine Mass godfather died just steps from the exit of the World Trade Center. The Port Authority police officer and his captain had been trying to carry a woman in a wheelchair to safety. Since Stephen Huczko Jr.s death, his family has treasured photographs and memories of their time together. But it wasnt until this week that they were able to find a tangible symbol of his sacrifice. This is the first thing weve been able to have, to hold, Mass said, unrolling the crayon rubbing she took of his name at the newly opened 9/11 memorial. This is our connection, maybe, to what really happened here. ... We can hold it. We can keep it. The bronze bearing the thousands of names of those killed in the Sept. 11 attacks was specially processed to turn it a somber, matte black. Now, with the public opening of the plaza, those names have been transformed into a rainbow of colors as mourners and those paying their respects have used crayons of every shade to make rubbings of the names of the lost. The etchings have been yellow, orange, blue, purple, green, red and black. Some of them are done in an untidy, childlike scribble, with the name emerging beneath. Others form a neat, exact record a solid piece of history. Such rubbings have long been a way to record and a way to mourn a way to reclaim some piece of what has been lost. For decades, visitors have made similar mementos at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in the nations capital. And for at least a century, people have taken similar rubbings of gravestones. Jim Brown has no cemetery where he can visit his brotherin-law, firefighter Kevin Bracken. Along with more than

Flood damage estimated at $2B

By HEATHER HOLLINGSWORTH Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Mo. The Army Corps of Engineers estimates it will cost more than $2 billion to repair the damage to the nations levees, dams and riverbanks caused by this years excessive flooding, a sum that dwarfs $150 million it currently has to make such repairs and that doesnt account for damage from Hurricane Irene or Tropical Storm Lee. Floodwaters that raged down the nations rivers this year have strained dams, eroded riverbanks, filled harbors with silt and ripped football field-sized holes in some earthen levees protecting farmland and small towns. The damage estimate, confirmed Thursday to The Associated Press by corps officials, promises to be more significant than with a typical flood in which high water recedes quickly. The estimate does not factor in flood damage caused by Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee, and the corps does not have an estimate of the damage from those storms yet. Along some stretches of the Missouri River, levees have been holding back floodwaters since June 1 as the corps lowered water levels from upstream dams that had filled to overflowing with record runoff from rain and winter snows. That water ultimately proved too much for many levees downstream in states such as Iowa and Missouri. Record high water levels also created havoc along the lower Mississippi from Missouri to Louisiana. Im really nervous about it, Tom Waters, chairman of the Missouri Levee and Drainage District Association, said of the limited resources. I think the corps is real nervous about it, too. The Senate is considering a $7 billion emergency disaster relief bill, but only $1.3 billion of that would go to the corps. A competing House bill would allocate $3.7 billion to overall disaster aid, $226 million of it to the corps, although Congress could provide more money in future legislation. Iowa Sen. Tom Harkin said he is working with senators in neighboring states to urge support for the emergency relief. I have seen firsthand some of the devastation along these rivers and local communities need financial assistance to recover, Harkin said.

Stepmother gets up to 18 years in girls killing

By MITCH WEISS Associated Press NEWTON, N.C. Staring angrily, Adam Baker confronted his wife in a courtroom Thursday after she admitted to murdering his 10-year-old disabled daughter and scattering her remains in the western reaches of North Carolina. There are no words to explain the hate I have for you, he told Elisa Baker, who pleaded guilty to second-degree murder with aggravating factors that included desecrating the body of Zahra Baker, the freckle-faced girl who used a prosthetic leg and hearing aids after a bone cancer fight. Elisa Baker also pleaded guilty to obstruction of justice and to charges unrelated to Zahras death, including obtaining property by false pretenses, financial identity fraud and bigamy. She was sentenced to up to 18 years in prison. Elisa Baker sat in the courtroom teary-eyed before making her plea deal with prosecutors. Zahra Bakers biological mother, Emily Dietrich, traveled from Australia for the proceeding and wept when she heard details of her daughters death recounted at the hearing. Dietrich called the 43-year-old defendant pure evil and the slaying a heinous act. My only hope now is she (Zahra) is in a place where she never feels pain. ... In a place where she can feel my love, she said. Superior Court Judge Timothy Kincaid said the crime would haunt the community for years. What kind of person would take the life of an innocent child? he said. Adam Baker, who came to the U.S. from Australia with his daughter in 2008 after meeting Elisa online, faces multiple criminal charges of his own, although none are related to his daughters death. Standing mere feet from Elisa Baker, he told her she had ruined his life. He also said Zahra had looked up to her stepmother, adding: I trusted you with the most precious person in my life. Zahra will never get to go to high school, never have a real boyfriend, never get married and never have children, he said. Afterward, he said he wasnt sure justice was done. Its pretty sad when you get less than 20 years for taking a girls life, he said. Elisa Bakers guilty plea comes nearly a year after Zahra was reported missing from her home in Hickory. Initially, Elisa and Adam Baker told police they believed their daughter had

1,100 others, Brackens remains were never identified among the ruins of the twin towers. For his family, this place is the closest they have to a gravesite. Taking a rubbing of Brackens name may be the closest they can come to bringing him home. First seeing the memorial, I felt a little bit of sadness, said Brown, who lost three relatives in the attacks. But I felt better now that Ive seen their names and taken a rubbing. Mourners often are drawn to objects that represent a connection to the person they lost, said Charlton McIlwain, an American culture professor at New York University who has studied death rituals. People were looking for something tangible to hold onto, something that has some kind of emotional connection, for them, with their deceased loved one, he said. The memorial, placed in the footprints of the twin towers, was designed with the rubbings in mind. One earlier version of the design would have included raised names with water flowing over them, but that idea was scrapped after a family member worried it would prevent people from making mementos from their loved ones names, said memorial president Joe Daniels. Ultimately, planners chose to create bronze parapets displaying the visual litany of names, the letters cleanly cut out of the bronze, with only light and emptiness beneath. Now the memorial foundation is handing out rolls of white paper, ordered months ago, sized exactly so that visitors can make name rubbings. After testing a number of options, planners selected a black soy wax similar to a crayon that they believed made the clearest impressions, which theyre giving out along with the paper. Eventually, the memorial may charge visitors for a rubbing kit, Daniels said. But for the foreseeable future the materials will be free.

More details about the case including Elisas abuse of Zahra were revealed during the hearing. Zahras death was caused by undetermined homicidal violence, medical examiners said in documents. An autopsy was conducted even though authorities hadnt recovered many bones, most notably the girls skull, months after she was reported missing. Several bones showed cutting tool marks consistent with dismemberment. During the hearing, Dietrich and Adam Baker begged Elisa Baker to tell them where the rest of the remains were located. What I truly want to see is Zahra be given the dignity and respect she deserves, Dietrich said.

Answers to Thursdays questions: Jacob was involved in an all-night wrestling match in the Bible (Genesis 32:22-31). Famous bird painter John James Audubon didnt really love birds. Because he wanted to paint them as realistically as possible, he shot them and posed them in naturalistic poses.
