MEXICO CITY (AP)
— A hillside collapsed on

a rural Mexican commu-
nity today and hundreds of
people are feared dead, the
region’s governor said.
Oaxaca state Gov. Ulises
Ruiz told the Televisa televi-
sion network that the early
morning landslide in the town
Santa Maria de Tlahuitoltepec
buried 100 to 300 houses
and speculated that 500 to
1,000 people could be dead.
He said rescuers are having a
hard time reaching the area.
Ruiz said the landslide
followed days of rain in
the Sierra Juarez region.
Rescuers were fly-

The Delphos Herald
DELPHOS — “BINGO!”
This is something local resident Rosemary
Pohlman hears often when she volunteers two
to three times per week at Vancrest Healthcare
Center.
“I get there about a half hour before it starts
and the game lasts about an hour,” Pohlman
said. “I pass out the cards and help them play
the game. I always go Thursdays and Saturdays.
Another girl helps out on Saturdays but other-
wise I go alone.”
Pohlman fills a need at the nursing home, as
well as within herself.
“I know some of the people out there and a
lot of them need help when playing bingo, like
some can’t see, some can’t hear very well,” she
explained. “Volunteering makes me feel good
about myself.”
Pohlman said that she first noticed an
announcement in her church bulletin, St. John’s
Catholic Church, which piqued her interest.
“There was an announcement that they
needed volunteers, so I said I’d do it,” she said.
“I like it. I’ve met a lot of people and I’ve got-
ten to know the people really well. They all
know my name and they always thank me for
coming.”
The bingo players Pohlman caters to can be
very competitive and get extremely wrapped up
in the game.
“Some people want a certain card every time,
so I try my best to please them all,” she said.
“They’re always really nice. I just do what I
have to do and try to please them.”
Pohlman said she also can tell the residents

Rea Hederman Jr., a senior
policy analyst at The Heritage
Foundation, a conservative
think tank, agreed that cen-
sus data show families of
all income levels had tepid
earnings in 2009, with poorer
Americans taking a larger hit.
“It’s certainly going to take a
while for people to recover,”
he said.
The findings are part of
a broad array of U.S. cen-
sus data being released this
month that highlight the
far-reaching impact of the
recent economic meltdown.
The effects have ranged from
near-historic declines in U.S.
mobility and birth rates to
delayed marriage and the first
drop in the number of illegal
immigrants in two decades.
The census figures also
come amid heated political
debate in the run-up to the

COLUMBUS — The Ohio
Housing Finance Agency
(OHFA) announced the
launch of Restoring Stability:
A Save the Dream Ohio
Initiative (Ohio’s Hardest-
Hit Funds) at a press brief-
ing held today at the Vern
Riffe Center in Columbus.
Kimberly A. Zurz, Director
of the Ohio Department of
Commerce and OHFA Board
Chairperson, along with
Douglas A. Garver, OHFA
Executive Director, led the
event detailing each of the
programs.

was designed to assist hom-
eowners with financial hard-
ships who have previously
been unable to qualify for
existing loan modification
and foreclosure prevention
programs. OHFA worked
with Governor Strickland’s
Office, the Ohio Department
of Commerce and Save the
Dream Ohio partners to create
a comprehensive statewide
funding proposal focused
on housing issues including
unemployment, principal and
second lien reductions, short
sales and mortgage loan mod-
ifications.
“This expansion of the
Save the Dream Ohio state-
wide initiative will provide
additional assistance to Ohio
homeowners who are strug-
gling to make their mortgage
payments due to a finan-
cial hardship,” Zurz said.
“Worrying about payments
can quickly turn into worry-
ing about losing their home.
We want to help as many
Ohioans stay in their homes
as possible.”
Restoring Stability’s
(Ohio’s Hardest-Hit Fund)
proposal was approved by the
U.S. Department of Treasury
and includes four program
options for homeowners
including: Partial Mortgage
Payment Assistance, Rescue
Payment Assistance,
Modification Assistance
with Principal Reduction and
Transitional Assistance.
“Approximately 26,000
homeowners will benefit from
this federal funding and the
dedication of OHFA’s staff
and partners,” Garver said.
“I am tremendously proud of
our work and contributions to
this exciting initiative.”
OHFA encourages strug-
gling homeowners to visit

POLITICS “To fight oppression, and to work as best we can for a sane organization of society, we do not have

Education reform: Obama

wants longer school years
By ERICA WERNER
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Barely
into the new school year,
President Barack Obama
issued a tough-love message
to students and teachers on
Monday: Their year in the
classroom should be longer,
and poorly performing teach-
ers should get out.
American students are fall-
ing behind some of their for-
eign counterparts, especially
in math and science, and that’s
got to change, Obama said.
Seeking to revive a sense of
GOP groups urgency that education reform

In the world of Google and the internet, much information is some key Democratic-leaning countries with the best student
achievement levels, including
Japan, South Korea, Germany
and New Zealand.
“That month makes a dif-
ference,” the president said. “It
means that kids are losing a lot
of what they learn during the
school year during the sum-
mer. It’s especially severe for
poorer kids who may not see
as many books in the house
during the summers, aren’t
getting as many educational
opportunities.”
Obama said teachers and
their profession should be
more highly honored — as in
China and some other coun-
tries, he said — and he said he
wanted to work with the teach-
ers’ unions. But he also said
that unions should not defend
a status quo in which one-third
of children are dropping out.
He challenged them not to be
resistant to change.
And the president endorsed
the firing of teachers who,
once given the chance and the
help to improve, are still fall-
ing short.
“We have got to identify
teachers who are doing well.
Teachers who are not doing
well, we have got to give them
the support and the training to
do well. And if some teach-
ers aren’t doing a good job,
they’ve got to go,” Obama
said.
They’re goals the president
has articulated in the past, but
his ability to see them realized
is limited. States set the mini-
mum length of school years,
and although there’s experi-
mentation in some places,
there’s not been wholesale
change since Obama issued
the same challenge for more
classroom time at the start of
the past school year.
One issue is money, and
although the president said
that lengthening school years
would be “money well spent,”
that doesn’t mean cash-
strapped states and districts
can afford it.
“It comes down to the old
bugaboo, resources. It costs
money to keep kids in school,”
said Mayor Scott Smith of
Mesa, Ariz. “Everyone
believes we can achieve great-
er things if we have a longer
school year. The question is
how do you pay for it.”
One model is Massachusetts,
where the state issues grants to
districts that set out clear plans
on how they would use the
money to constructively length-
en instructional class time, said
Kathy Christie, chief of staff at
the Education Commission of
the States. Obama’s Education
Department already is using
competitions among states
for curriculum grant money
through its “Race to the Top”
initiative.

Lady Jays, Wildcats end in draw Lincolnview spikers
By JIM METCALFE
The Delphos Herald
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS — The rain was
welcome on the parched pitch
of St. John’s High School’s
soccer field Monday night.
That is except for the
soaked girls soccer players as
the hosts tied visiting Miller
City 3-3.
St. John’s (7-2-2) had to
overcome a 2-0 halftime defi-
cit and actually took a 3-2
lead before the Lady Wildcats
(8-4-1) scored late to tie it
up.
“We came back. The only
adjustment we made was to
abandon trying the long ball
and going back to our ball-
possession game,” St. John’s
coach John Munoz noted.
“We played very well the
second half: we had all the
crosses, passes and touches
going and that got us back in
the match.”
The Lady Jays dominated
the second half as the rain
continued to pour down.
Senior Bailey Calvelage
had the first real scoring
chance at 35:01 but a defend-
er knocked the blast wide.
She had another chance
at 33:08 but her shot was
again deflected wide by a
defender.
The Jays finally got on the
board at 32:29. She was the
recipient of a cross pass from
the left side to the middle from
junior Courtney Grothouse,
knocking home the shot from
in close past Miller City soph-
omore keeper Missy Michel
(10 saves versus 15 shots) for
a 2-1 deficit.
The hosts were just get-
ting started. They continued

Gould’s late FG for Bears beats penalty-prone Pack
By ANDREW SELIGMAN
The Associated Press
CHICAGO — The Chicago
Bears were going nowhere
and hearing it from the crowd.
Good thing the Green Bay
Packers were intent on giving
this one away.
“I’d rather have an ugly
win than an ugly loss,” Bears
linebacker Brian
Urlacher said.
This one certainly
wasn’t pretty, even if
the Bears remained
unbeaten and estab-
lished themselves as
NFC contenders.
Robbie Gould

Urlacher forced a fumble
in the closing minutes and
Chicago took advantage of
a Green Bay team-record 18
penalties to beat the Packers
20-17 on Monday night.
Packers receiver James
Jones lost a fumble on a hit by
Urlacher before Green Bay’s
Morgan Burnett was called
for pass interference on Earl
Bennett, setting up the win-
ning kick.

WASHINGTON —
Philadelphia Phillies are the NL
The
East champions for the fourth con-
secutive year and, fittingly, Roy
Halladay helped seal the deal this
time with a 2-hitter.
Halladay earned his 21st win
with his fourth shutout and ninth
complete game — all highs in the
majors this season — and Jayson
Werth drove in four runs, leading
the Phillies to a 8-0 victory over the
Washington Nationals on Monday
night, wrapping up the division with
five games left.
Halladay (21-10) heads to the
playoffs for the first time in his
13th major-league season, having
played his entire career with the
Toronto Blue Jays before being
traded to Philadelphia last winter.
Completely undisturbed by a
light rain that began falling in the
third inning, Halladay gave up a
single to Wilson Ramos in the
third and another to Adam Dunn in
the eighth. The right-hander didn’t
walk a batter and struck out six,
including one to end each of the
first three innings. He faced the
minimum 21 batters through seven
innings; Ramos was erased when
the next hitter, Alberto Gonzalez,
grounded into a 4-6-3 double play.
The Phillies went ahead 1-0
on the first of Werth’s three hits in
the game. It was his 26th homer, a
drive to left field off John Lannan
(8-8) in the second inning.

good opportunities.
They got a break at 26:57
when Grothouse fired a shot
from the left side that deflect-
ed into the goal off a defender
to knot it at 2-2.
Michel continued to play
well between the pipes, stop-

at 16:20 (Jackson); and 15:50

The Jays took the lead at

Calvelage, who had an effort

ing opening win over Detroit.
Since then, they turned heads
with a win at Dallas last week
and opened some more eyes
against Green Bay — with
lots of help from the Packers.
Urlacher jarred the ball out
of Jones’ hands after he caught
a pass from Aaron Rodgers
near midfield. Tim Jennings
recovered, giving Chicago the
ball on the Packers 46
with 2:18 remaining.
“Any time a play
like that comes up,
that’s a play you need
to make,” the Packers’
Nick Barnett said.
“Luckily for them they
didn’t have any penal-
ties on that call and they were
able to get the ball.”
Soon after, another penalty
cost the Packers (2-1) in a big
way.
On second down at the 33,
Cutler tried to hit Bennett deep
along the right sideline and
Burnett basically hammered
him, wiping out an intercep-
tion by Nick Collins and put-
ting the ball at the 9. Three
plays later, Chicago walked
away with a wild win and the
only undefeated record in the
NFC.
The Packers will have to
cut down on the penalties and
general sloppiness that haunt-
ed them in the end.

lost 1-0 to Chicago, for the wild
card. Philadelphia’s 8-0 win earlier
in the evening eliminated Atlanta in
the NL East.
The Braves had lost 5-of-6,
scoring a total of nine runs in that
span. They barely scored enough
to win this time at Turner Field,
where they have the best home
record in the majors at 53-23.
Nate McLouth opened the 11th
with a walk and moved up on a
sacrifice by Alex Gonzalez. Rick
Ankiel walked and both runners
moved up on a wild pitch. Pinch-
hitter Freddie Freeman struck out

Jose Veras (3-3) down the left-
field line.

SAN DIEGO — Carlos
Zambrano won his seventh straight
decision since rejoining Chicago’s
rotation, combining with two reliev-
ers on a 4-hitter as the Cubs
knocked San Diego out of the NL
wild-card lead.
The Padres, who loaded the
bases with two outs in the ninth
before pinch-hitter Nick Hundley
flied out to left, dropped one-half
game behind Atlanta. The Padres
fell a game behind idle San
Francisco in the NL West.
It was only the second time in
11 games dating to last year that
the Cubs beat the Padres. The
Cubs have won nine out of 13
overall.
Zambrano (10-6) held San
Diego to three hits over seven
innings. He struck out five and
walked four. Carlos Marmol pitched
the ninth for his 35th save.
Tim Stauffer (5-5) held Chicago
to three hits through six innings

to the other side by Michel;
however, Grothouse shoved
the ricochet back in from the
left post for a 3-2 edge.
Michel was also shaken
up on the play and had to be
replaced by senior Courtney
Ellerbrock.
The Jays almost added an
all-important insurance tally
at 7:35 when Saine’s laser
was deflected by Ellerbrock
but the Jays could not get a
follow shot.
That would come back
to haunt them as the Lady
Wildcats had their only real
foray deep into their offensive
zone in the half. Junior Jessica
Nienberg got a run down the
Devin Hester delivered his
first touchdown return in three
years when he ran back a punt
62 yards in the fourth quarter,
giving the Bears a short-lived
14-10 lead.
Rodgers threw for 316
yards and a touchdown and
scored on a 3-yard run that
gave the Packers a 17-14
lead in the fourth quarter.
Jermichael Finley had nine
catches for 115 yards, but the
sloppiness simply caught up
with the Packers in the end.
Cutler completed 16-of-27
passes with a touchdown and
an interception. Johnny Knox
had four catches for 94 yards.
Chicago held its longtime
rival to 63 yards rushing but
the Bears had only 77, turning
it into an air game for much of
the night.
Hester had just put the
Bears ahead in the opening
seconds of the fourth quarter
when the Packers responded
with a 62-yard touchdown
drive.
A roughing-the-passer
penalty on Henry Melton gave
them a first down at the 3.
Rodgers, who cramped up a
few plays earlier, rolled to his
right and lunged into the end
zone, making it 17-14.
Then the Packers basically
gave it away.
Frank Zombo got called
before the Cubs broke through.
Alfonso Soriano doubled to left and
scored on Blake DeWitt’s single to
center. DeWitt and Marlon Byrd
each had three hits.
Dodgers 3, Rockies 1
DENVER — Ted Lilly scattered
four hits over eight innings and
Los Angeles prevented Ubaldo
Jimenez from getting his 20th win.
Casey Blake went 3-for-4 with
two doubles, two RBIs and scored
Los Angeles’ other run as the
Dodgers put the Rockies on the
brink of elimination.
The reeling Rockies fell five
games behind idle San Francisco
in the NL West with just six games
remaining. The Rockies have lost
7-of-8 since pulling within a game
of the divisional lead on Sept. 18.
Jimenez (19-8) has one more
start, at St. Louis next weekend,
to try to become the franchise’s
first 20-game winner. When he
went 15-1 in the first half of the
season and earned the starting job
for the National League in the All-
Star game, it seemed unfathom-
able that Jimenez wouldn’t reach
20 wins.
Aside from giving up Carlos
Gonzalez’s 34th homer, Lilly (9-12)
was dominant. He walked two and
of his eight strikeouts, five were
called. Hong-Chih Kuo pitched a
perfect ninth for his 11th save in
12 chances.
Cardinals 6, Pirates 4
ST. LOUIS — Matt Holliday
homered and drove in three runs
and St. Louis beat Pittsburgh, stay-
ing in the NL Central race for at
least one more day.
A Cardinals loss would have
clinched the division for Cincinnati.
The Reds were idle; their magic
number remained at one going into
tonight’s home game vs Houston.
left side and fired a low shot
from 15 yards. The ball took
a sliding hop and got over a
diving Stant (5 saves vs. 11
shots) and into the net at 6:38
to tie the score 3-all.
The Jays had two more
chances to get a win but
couldn’t get the goal.
Both teams were battling
for supremacy in the first 10
minutes of the action before
the visitors got on the board.
At 29:50, Nienberg lofted one
from 30 yards that got over
the top of Stant for a 1-0
lead.
The Jays had two chances
for the answer in the 12th
minute, both by Grothouse;
however, she had a shot
deflected by a defender at
28:50 and then stymied by a
diving Michel at 28:05.
At 14:50, Grothouse’s
luck again was bad as her
shot from the left wing was
knocked wide by Michel.
The visitors went up 2-0 at
13:10. Nienberg fired a shot
the box that was deflected off
the crossbar by Stant. Meagan
Giblin was there for a fol-
low shot that hit off the right
post; Stant tried to keep it
from crossing the goal line
but couldn’t for a 2-0 halftime
score.
“We have a tough match
at Wapakoneta Saturday. We
need to continued to play
like we did the second half,”
Munoz added. “Miller City
was another tough opponent.
We tried to do too much of
the long stuff today and it
doesn’t work against quality
opponents.”
The St. John’s at Ada
match scheduled for Thursday
was cancelled, so their next
contest is at Wapakoneta 11
a.m. Saturday.
for a helmet-on-helmet hit
against Cutler on the next
drive that erased an intercep-
tion by Barnett. On second
down, Collins got called for a
late hit on Matt Forte after a
15-yard reception, putting the
ball on the Packers 29.
Gould made a 25-yard
field goal to tie it at 17 with
3:59 left.
Hester’s return eased the
sting after the Bears again
were stopped at the goal line
for the second time this sea-
son when choosing not to
go for the field goal. The
Bears had fourth-and-inches
late in the third when coach
Lovie Smith decided to go
for the end zone and they
failed to score again, just as
they did against Detroit in the
opener. This time, Desmond
Clark dropped a potential
TD pass.
Hester, however, showed
his old explosiveness. He took
a punt at the 38, broke up the
right sideline and didn’t stop
until he reached the end zone
in a familiar scene, albeit one
that hadn’t played in a while.
It was 12th time he’s
returned a kickoff or punt for a
touchdown and the first since
Dec. 30, 2007. He is now tied
for second with Dante Hall
and Eric Metcalf, one behind
Brian Mitchell’s 13.
Holliday made it 4-all with his
28th homer, a 2-run shot in the
sixth inning. Albert Pujols had two
hits and got his NL-leading 117th
RBI with a single in the third.
Pedro Alvarez homered in
going 3-for-3 and driving in two
runs for the Pirates. He connected
in the second and extended his hit-
ting streak to seven games, during
which he’s 13-for-27 with 15 RBIs.
Dennys Reyes (3-1) picked up
the win with one scoreless inning
in relief of starter Kyle Lohse. Kyle
McClellan got his second save in
three chances with a scoreless
ninth.

American League
CHICAGO — Clay Buchholz
outpitched Mark Buehrle and the
Boston Red Sox beat the Chicago
White Sox 6-1 Monday night, post-
poning a pair of clinching parties
for their AL East rivals.
A Red Sox loss would’ve locked
up playoff spots for the Tampa
Bay Rays and New York Yankees.
Instead, Boston took an early lead,
pulled away and stayed mathemat-
ically in the wild-card race while the
Rays and Yankees lost.
The magic number remains at
one for the Rays and Yankees to
reach the postseason.
David Ortiz, Victor Martinez
and Adrian Beltre each drove
in two runs. Marco Scutaro got
three hits and scored three times
as Boston won the opener of a
4-game series.
Buchholz (17-7) pitched eight
innings and scattered five hits,
striking out five and walking one.
Buehrle (12-13) gave up 11
hits in six innings and lost his third

RURAL MIDDLE POINT
— Pink was the color of the

team opened
set one with a big spike by
freshman Ashley McClure; it
proved to be a preview of
things to come. St. John’s
quickly countered with two
kills by junior Shelby Reindel
and a Lancer mis-hit to go on
top 3-1. The Lady Jays would
go up by 5-3 on a kill by senior
Tiffany Geise. The set would
soon be tied at 5 each and then
Lincolnview began to heat
up their serving game. Three
straight aces by McClure (7
aces; 6 kills; 22 digs), four
big kills by sophomore Jodie
Doner (22/25 hitting, 11 kills;
2 aces), three more aces from
McClure and three mistakes
by St. John’s all would add up
to a Lincolnview lead of 18-5.
The Lancers’ fast start sent
them on to an easy victory in
the opening set.
Lincolnview head coach
Heather Byrne was pleased
with the enthusiasm of her
team from the beginning.
“We have been focusing
on that. That is something we
struggled with, being in con-
trol of the game and staying
in the game. Our focus tonight
was to go out there and play
from point one to point 25,”
she explained.
The Lady Jays were look-
ing to bounce back in set two.
With the help of several mis-
takes by Lincolnview and two
points from sophomore start-
er Bailie Hulihan (3 kills; 4
digs), St. John’s went up 10-8.
Senior Katie Wallenhorst (4
aces; 4 blocks; 2 kills; 11
assists) served up three con-
secutive aces to give the Jays
a lead at 13-8 and they later
went on top by a score of
19-11 as Geise would add
two more kills. The Lancers
took advantage of six Blue
Jay mistakes to make it close

OTTAWA — Ottawa-

and Kaitlyn Ditto

Leading the Lady Titans

but fell short in their come-
back bid.
Set three would be a matter
of survival as no one could
gain a lead of more than three
points until the end. Despite
the hitting of Lady Jays soph-
omore Heather Vogt (3 kills),
Reindel (7 kills; 8 digs) and
Wallenhorst, they could not
gain control of the set after an
8-all tie.
A disappointed Blue Jay
head coach Kellie Sterling
commented on her team: “We
couldn’t get up. They would
get a 3-point lead and we
couldn’t get it back to even.
I think Lincolnview played
what I need my girls to do.”
Lincolnview stayed in con-
trol of set
three and
went up 2-1.
The Lady
Lancers’
offensive
help came
from senior
Courtney
Tunis (7
kills), senior
A s h l e y Paige McClure
Bowen (28-
29 hitting, 11 kills) and junior
Carley Springer (7 kills, 2
aces).
The Lady Lancers started
set four with an ace and never
looked back as senior setter
Paige McClure continued to
place the ball in the right spot
for the Lincolnview hitters.
Coach Bryne was happy
with the performance: “We’ve
been struggling with our pass-
ing and being able to run an
offense. We really focused
tonight. Paige McClure (34
assists; 2 kills) did a great job
of mixing up our offense, so
we had a lot of hitters with a
1-on-1 block.”
That Lancer effort would
keep the Lady Jays in check
on their way to a 4-set tri-
umph.
Lincolnview was 131-
of-134 setting with 36 total
kills. Calista Dowdy added
23 digs.
With the victory,
Lincolnview improves to 5-7
in all games. They are right
back in action tonight with a

Big Green take PCL golf title
By CHARLIE
WARNIMONT
Delphos Herald
Correspondent
OTTAWA – High school
golfers haven’t had to con-
tend with any adverse weath-
er conditions this season.
On Monday, golfers at
the Putnam County League
tournament not only had to
deal with wind but also light
rain throughout much of the
day. The team that handled
these adverse weather condi-
tions the best could come out
with the tournament champi-
onship.
Ottoville was that team
Monday as they braved
the elements to repeat as
PCL champions at the Pike
Run Golf Course. The Big
Green won with a 328 team
score, while Kalida edged
Columbus Grove for sec-
ond place 336-337. Leipsic
was fourth with a 357, while
Miller City claimed fifth
place based on their fifth-
man score as the Wildcats
and Fort Jennings both fin-
ished with a 378.
“I think the PCL is
becoming more notorious
for the weather than it is the
golfing,” Ottoville coach Jim
Brown said. “It wasn’t as
breezy as it was last year but
it was spitting rain all day
and pretty damp out there
that made it tough on all the
golfers. We just grinded it
out and that’s what I have
been working on my kids to
do. If your score is not the
best, grind a score out and

Officials optimistic weakened levee will hold

By TODD RICHMOND
The Associated Press
PORTAGE, Wis. — A storm-weakened
14-mile sand levee that was partially breached
by floodwaters, turning one rural Wisconsin
neighborhood into a virtual island, held over-
night, an emergency official said today.
Greg Matthews, spokesman for the
Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources,
said Monday night he was “cautiously opti-
mistic” the levee protecting Blackhawk Park
would hold. Still, he said it would likely be
at least another day before the water level
drops.
Columbia County Emergency Management
director Pat Beghin said DNR inspectors did
not discover any new breaches of the levee
overnight and that they would continue to
monitor it today.
The century-old earthen dike, part of a
14-mile berm, separates Blackhawk Park and
the city of Portage from the Wisconsin River.
But it rose so high and so forcefully fol-
lowing days of heavy rain last week that it
surged around the dike and poured into the
bottom lands around the neighborhood, said
Steve Miller, director of the DNS Bureau of
Facilities and Lands.
The flooding enclosed Blackhawk Park
and engulfed the only access road into the
neighborhood in Caledonia just southeast of
Portage. A few homes in low-lying areas were
surrounded by water, but most of the houses
stood on high ground and were not affected.
On Sunday, emergency workers asked the
approximately 300 people living in the neigh-
borhood to evacuate their homes, warning that
they could be cut off by the burgeoning river.
Beghin said about 25 homes in Blackhawk
Park remained occupied Monday.
Gov. Jim Doyle declared a state of emer-
gency for Columbia County Monday after the
Wisconsin River reached a record high level.
The declaration directs state agencies to assist
in recovery efforts.
Much of the levee protects forest and
farmland, but a breach in the Blackhawk Park
portion could wash away the access road
altogether. Beghin said that under that worst-
case scenario, remaining residents could be
stranded for up to a week.
DNR workers were using sandbags to con-
trol the seepage, and Matthews said the effort
seemed to be working.
Forrest Travis, a 53-year-old part-time
construction worker, said he spent Sunday
night at his fishing camp and didn’t have any
plans to go anywhere, even as water rushed
across the gravel service road a few steps
away.
“I’m not worried about it,” Travis said. “It
would have to get a lot higher to get where
we’re standing.”
Diana O’Neill, 56, a retired De Forest
police officer, evacuated Sunday. On Monday,
she inched her truck along the access road,
creating a wake, to get back to her house.
Her place was still dry when she arrived.
She grabbed three dozen eggs and her Chicago
Bears shirt for the Green Bay Packers-Chicago
Bears game Monday night and inched her
way back out. The water was easily an inch
higher than when she drove in.
“I’m kind of a risk-taker,” she said. “If it
wasn’t for the road being overrun I would
have stayed here. I’ve got stuff to get done.”
The Wisconsin River runs along the out-
skirts of Portage, a city of about 10,000
people some 40 miles north of Madison that
touts itself as “Where the North Begins.” The
river had overflowed its banks by dozens of
feet, pouring onto low-lying roads.
Residents ventured to the water’s edge to
watch as the river surged by.
Staring at the churning water, Shawn
Schweitzer, 39, of Portage, said that usually
at this time of the year the water is so low you
can nearly drive across the river bottom.
“Now it would be bye, bye,” he said as
he watched the current swirl and eddy. “I’ve
never seen it move this fast.”
State and local officials were so concerned
about the integrity of the 14-mile levee sys-
tem homeowners built in the 1890s, a group
was established to study it.
The group recommended in 2007 that
because the levee was so unsafe and unable
to protect against flooding, property owners
should be offered incentives to move.
Miller said little has been done to make
changes since the report came out.
National Weather Service hydrologist
Bryan Hahn says the Wisconsin River reached
a record level of 20.59 feet Monday at 6 a.m.
That breaks a previous record of 20.50 set
back in 1938.

2 charged in Seton Hall shooting

By DAVID PORTER
The Associated Press
EAST ORANGE, N.J. —
Police didn’t have to look
far to find the man they say
sprayed gunfire at a crowd-
ed weekend party, killing a
Seton Hall University stu-
dent and wounding four other
people.
They arrested 25-year-old
Nicholas Welch on Monday
night at his home, just a few
doors away from the off-cam-
pus house where the shoot-
ing occurred early Saturday.
A second man, 19-year-old
Marcus Bascus, was still
being sought.
Both men were charged
with murder, conspiracy and
weapons offenses. Police
believe Welch was the shoot-
er and that Bascus provided
him with the gun, either a
.357- or .38-caliber weapon,
based on shell casings found
Police said Welch tried to
enter the party, was refused
admittance and then returned
moments later with a gun and
started firing. Nineteen-year-
old Seton Hall student Jessica
Moore, an honors student
from Disputanta, Va., who
was majoring in psychology,
was shot and died later that
day.
The injuries to the other
four victims weren’t con-
sidered life-threatening.
Two of the injured were
19-year-old women who go
to Seton Hall, and one was a
25-year-old man who attends
the New Jersey Institute of
Technology. The other was
a 20-year-old man from New
York who is not a student.
Laurino credited a police
lockdown of the block after
the shooting for helping has-
ten Welch’s arrest.
“He probably stayed in his
house because he couldn’t
home.
“The girls said they
weren’t letting anyone else in
because it was too packed,”
said Stroud, who didn’t attend
the party. “When I pulled up
I heard an altercation — I
heard yelling and some glass
break. I heard someone yell,
‘They’re fighting! Party’s
over! Go home!”
Stroud said he then saw a
man with a beard walk from
the house toward another man
standing on the curb. Stroud
said he heard the bearded
man say, “Give me the burn-
er,” which Stroud took as
slang for a gun.
With his friends in the car,
Stroud said, he sped away
but heard two gunshots in
the distance. About a block
down the street, he saw an Stacy Taff photo
East Orange police officer
performing a traffic stop. Van Wert County American Red Cross Preparedness Manager Linda Langstaff paid
Stroud said he told the officer a visit to the Multiple-Handicap class at Jefferson High School Monday morning to talk
to go to the house because about CPR, First Aid, emergency protocol and germs.

Welch was being held
on $2 million bail and was
expected to make an ini-
tial court appearance today
or Wednesday. He “didn’t

leave his house,” Laurino
said.
It was not known if Welch
had retained an attorney.
Meanwhile, more witness-
es were being interviewed by
police on Monday.
Derel Stroud, 24, said he

up two girls to drive them
there was a shooting. He said
he also called 911. By the
time Stroud circled the block,
police cars had surrounded
the home, he said.
The party was primarily
for students at Seton Hall,
a private Catholic university
with a gated campus in South
Orange, about 15 miles from
New York City.

Another day of searing heat for Calif.
By JOHN ANTCZAK
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — a song he knew from church.
Another day of searing heat
was on tap for California
today, but temperatures were
expected to begin heading
downward.
A blistering fall heat wave
broke records across the state
Monday, including an all-time
high of 113 degrees in down-
town Los Angeles.
Downtown hit the record-
high temperature for a few
minutes at about 12:15 p.m.,
breaking the previous record
of 112 degrees set on June
26, 1990, said Stuart Seto,
a weather specialist at the
National Weather Service
office in Oxnard. It was the
hottest temperature recorded
in downtown LA since record-
keeping began in 1877.
As pedestrians waited to
cross the street in downtown
on Monday afternoon, they
lined up diagonally to take
advantage of just six inches of
shade that a light pole cast on
the radiating sidewalk.
Cub Scouts selling popcorn
Delphos Cub Scout Pack 42 and Boy Scout Troop 65 are conducting their annual
Trails End Popcorn Sale. Pack 42 will have popcorn for sale in front of Alco from 10
a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday. Several varieties of microwave, caramel and kettle popcorn
are available. Scouts above are Cole Gordon, John Radler and Adam Bockey. This
is the largest fund-raising event for the local scouts with proceeds funding troop
activities.
Parking lot attendant Jorge
Marin beckoned drivers into
his lot with an orange flag and
“Like a ray of sun falling
me, it burns, how it burns,” he
sang in Spanish.
Commuters broke a sweat
just standing in the shade
waiting for a bus. Women
accessorized with umbrellas
and parasols to hide from the
heat.
The fall heat wave pushed
temperatures well over 100
degrees from Anaheim, home
of Disneyland, to San Luis
Obispo, Santa Cruz and
Salinas on the usually balmy
Central Coast. Many records
were set or tied.
The Los Angeles Department
of Water and Power on Monday
recorded the highest-ever
demand for electricity. The util-
ity registered a peak demand of
6,177 megawatts, breaking a
previous record of 6,165 mega-
watts from July 2006, DWP
spokeswoman Gale Harris said.
As Mother Nature served
up California in a roasting
pan, some sought relief at the
beaches, though fewer than
over the weekend as the heat
wave built.
“Because it’s Monday and
it’s a school day, the crowd is
a lot smaller, (but) it appears
a lot of people aren’t going
to work or school,” said Los
Angeles County lifeguard
Capt. Angus Alexander.
The National Weather
Service said the siege of dry
heat was being caused by a
ridge of high pressure over
the West that was keeping the
Pacific Ocean’s normal moist
and cool influence at bay.
Conditions are expected to
remain hot today but not as
extreme.
Red Flag warnings for fire
danger were posted in some
areas, but mostly due to the
withering effect on vegeta-
tion alone rather than the dan-
gerous combination of low
humidity and offshore winds.
A small but persistent brush
fire broke out in Thousand
Oaks west of Los Angeles,
and about 200 firefighters in
full gear carried heavy hoses
up hills to douse the flames.

Segway accident suspected cause of owners’ death
By GREGORY KATZ
The Associated Press
LONDON — All police
found at the bottom of a cliff
was a man’s body in a frigid
river and a Segway, the two-
wheeled electric device that
was supposed to revolution-
ize personal transport.
It was Jimi Heselden, a
one-time laid-off coal miner
turned self-made millionaire
who had bought the Segway
company only 10 months ear-
lier. He apparently fell to his
death while riding one of the
sleek black-and-silver scoot-
ers. Authorities said Monday
his body was found in the
River Wharfe at the base of a
30-foot (nine-meter) cliff.
Details remained sketchy
— police say only that the
death was not suspicious,
meaning foul play is not sus-
pected — but the incident
seems certain to raise fresh
questions about the safety of
the Segway, which is banned
on British motorways and in
some U.S. cities because of
safety concerns.
A witness reported see-
ing a man fall Sunday over
a 30-foot (nine-meter) drop
into the river near the vil-
lage of Boston Spa, 140 miles
(225 kilometers) north of
London. The remote, heavily
forested area, not far from
Heselden’s country estate, is
popular with hikers.
