Mladic calls genocide
charges ‘obnoxious’
THE HAGUE, Netherlands
(AP) — Ratko Mladic, frail
but defiant after 16 years on
the run, made his first appear-
ance before U.N. judges and
his victims Friday, dismiss-
ing a long list of charges of
genocide, mass murder and
persecution as “obnoxious”
and “monstrous words” that
had nothing to do with what
he called the defense of his
nation.
The capture and trial of the
Bosnian Serb wartime com-
mander closes the bloodiest
chapter in European history
since World War II and is near-
ly the final act of the Yugoslav
tribunal, a court that launched
a renewed era of international
justice after the Nuremberg tri-
als of Nazis war criminals.
Together with his for-
mer political boss Radovan
Karadzic, Mladic is accused
of orchestrating a four-year
war for Serbian domination
in Bosnia that cost 100,000
lives and climaxed with the
July 1995 massacre of 8,000
Muslim men and boys in the
U.N.-declared safe zone of
Srebrenica.
Karadzic’s 18-month-
old trial continued just a few
steps away from the court-
room where Mladic was seen
in public for the first time in
more than a decade.
Mladic declined to enter
formal pleas to the 11-count
indictment, but admitted no
culpability. “I defended my
country and my people,” he
said before he was cut short by
president judge Alphons Orie.

“Monster man. Butcher,”
rape victim Bakira Hasecic
shouted from the public gal-

Mladic struggled to his feet.
She was few feets away from
him but separated by a sound-
proof glass partition.
Mladic told the three-judge
panel he was “a gravely ill
man,” but he remained alert
throughout the hearing, nod-
ding or shaking his head as
the Orie spoke. But at times
he seemed confused by the
proceedings, and said he had
been unable to read the thick
file of legal documents he was
handed after his extradition to
U.N. custody in The Hague
from Serbia on Tuesday.
“I would like to read these
obnoxious charges leveled
against me,” he said after Orie

indictment. “I need more than

words.”
Orie scheduled a new hear-
ing for July 4. If Mladic again
refuses to plead to the charges,
judges will file “not guilty”
pleas on his behalf.
Mladic’s trial, which is
likely to last several years,
is one of the most important
since the tribunal was formed
in 1993 while the war was still
in progress. Since Karadzic’s
arrest in 2008, the former mili-
tary leader of Bosnia’s Serbs
stood alone as the most want-
ed man in Europe. One fugi-
tive remains at large, Goran
Hadzic, leader of the rebel
Serbs in Croatia.
Wearing a peaked cap, he
saluted with his left hand to
the gallery as a curtain obscur-
ing the courtroom was raised.
Two U.N. guards lifted him
to his feet when the judges
entered the courtroom, and he
saluted them as well. With his
right arm apparently impaired,
a guard had to help him put
earphones over his head to
hear the Serbian translation.
His speech was slow and
slightly slurred.
“I don’t want to be helped
to walk as if I were some blind
cripple. If I want help, I’ll ask
for it,” he said.
His family said after his
arrest last week that he had
suffered two strokes during his
years in hiding. He was given
a medical examination after
his transfer to the U.N. deten-
tion unit at the seaside suburb
of Scheveningen, and doctors
declared him healthy enough
to appear for his arraignment.

Debt fight continues
despite Wall St. warning
By DAVID ESPO and
LAURIE KELLMAN
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Facing
a dire warning from a credit
rating agency, the Obama
administration lobbied some
of Congress’ most conserva-
tive members today for an
increase in the nation’s debt
limit. Republicans responded
that the surest way to reas-
sure financial markets was to
enact deep deficit cuts.
At the White House,
President Barack Obama told
Democrats he expected talks
led by Vice President Joe
Biden to achieve only about
60 to 70 percent of the reduc-
tions required as part of the
deal, officials said, leaving
him and top lawmakers to
agree on the rest. The Biden
talks are aimed at produc-
ing a bipartisan debt-cutting
package that could accom-
pany a boost in the govern-
ment’s ability to borrow more
money.
Treasury Secretary Tim
Geithner has told Congress
that without an increase in
the $14.3 trillion debt limit
by Aug. 2, the government
will be forced into its first-
ever default, with potentially
catastrophic results for the
economy.
Geithner spent part of his
day meeting privately with
freshmen House members,

last fall with tea party support
and among the most commit-
ted to cutting spending.

are going to happen this

By JIM ABRAMS
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — More
than a year after the Gulf of
Mexico oil spill, House mem-
bers traded political recrimi-
nations anew Thursday over
the Obama administration’s
response to the environmen-
tal and economic disaster.
Republicans on the House
Oversight and Government
Reform Committee charged
that President Barack Obama
added to the woes of the Gulf
region by giving BP PLC, the
owner of the well, the lead
role in responding to the cri-
sis. They also said the admin-
istration erred in imposing
a moratorium on deep water
drilling.
Democrats countered that
the spill spurred new safety
regulations that ensure there
will never be a repeat of the

Silence, vagueness from Dems on Weiner photo
By BETH FOUHY
Associated Press
NEW YORK — Even as
Democratic lawmakers vowed
to move beyond the contro-
versy surrounding a lewd
photo sent from Rep. Anthony
Weiner’s Twitter account, resi-
dents of his New York dis-
trict expressed mixed feelings
over the incident and the media
furor surrounding it.
Weiner stayed out of the
limelight Thursday after spend-
ing Wednesday doing a round
of interviews trying to explain
how a waist down photo of
a man’s bulging underpants
had been transmitted from his
Twitter account. The media
blitz raised more questions
than it answered, as Weiner
insisted the photo had been set
by a prankster but couldn’t rule
out the possibility that it was a
photo of him.
Outside Weiner’s district
in the Kew Gardens section
of Queens, constituent Evelyn
Carson said she had voted for
Weiner but regretted doing so
now. “That’s an embarrass-
ment for children to see some-
thing like that, especially from
a big-time figure.”
Another constituent, Ronald
a default crisis, and we’re
going to reach agreement on
our long-term fiscal plan.”
GOP freshmen leaving
that meeting said that though
the session with Geithner was
cordial, they were mystified
that he emerged expressing
optimism because no new
ground was broken.
“That’s what this admin-
istration does,” said Rep. Jeff
Landry, R-La. “They dream
it, so they believe it.”
Geithner’s meeting with
the freshmen had been
planned in advance but
occurred after Moody’s
Investors Service said that
if the parties fail to make
progress soon, it would put
the U.S. rating under review
for a possible downgrade. It
cited a “very small but rising
risk” that the government will
default on its debts.
Standard & Poor’s, anoth-
er major credit rating agency,
issued a similar warning in
April.
Moody’s also warned the
government could face a
downgrade if it fails to come
up with a long-term plan to
reduce the country’s deficit.
The federal budget deficit is
on pace to exceed $1 trillion
for the third straight year.
Republicans seized
instantly on the statement.
“If we don’t get our fiscal
house in order, the markets
will do it for us,” Speaker
John Boehner, R-Ohio, said
at a news conference, a point
that other Republicans echoed
as the day went on.
One freshman who attend-
ed the meeting with Geithner
said the treasury secretary
tried citing the Moody’s
wake of the Exxon Valdez
disaster, for guidance on how
to respond to the crisis.
The OPA holds the respon-
sible party, in this case BP,
accountable for all costs and
gives them a central role in
response to an oil spill. The
federal government directs
the effort. Barbour said
Obama should have gone
with the Stafford Act, under
which the federal government
aids states in responding to
hurricanes and other natural
disasters.
The OPA was a “usur-
pation of state authority,”
Barbour said, noting that he
“sent people to Walmart to
buy radios” because of the
lack of communication with
the Coast Guard on efforts
to keep oil off the state’s
coastline.
“At times,” said commit-
tee chairman Darrell Issa,
R-Calif., “the administration
actively hindered the efforts
of local officials and others
with expertise in protecting
the region’s fragile ecosys-
tem.”
The other main point of
contention was Obama’s deci-
sion to impose a six-month
moratorium on exploratory
drilling in waters deeper than
Tirino, said the incident had
been blown out of proportion
by the press.
“I thought it was a joke,”
Tirino said. “The way media
has been going it’s hardly news
anymore.”
The uproar began over
the weekend when conserva-
tive activist Andrew Breitbart
reported on his website that
Weiner had sent the photo to a
21-year-old female college stu-
dent in Seattle who was one of
the New York congressman’s
Twitter followers. Weiner has
insisted he did not send the
photo. He says he saw it online
before deleting it.
Though generally mum in
public, Democrats privately
fumed at the forced detour in
their arguments about Medicare
and spending, leaving the sev-
en-term congressman from
Brooklyn and Queens largely
to fend for himself for a third
day in a row. Most Republicans
seemed content to let the con-
troversy simmer.
On Thursday, Weiner joined
Democratic lawmakers at the
White House where the cau-
cus met with President Barack
Obama. As they walked from
buses on Pennsylvania Avenue,

report to put pressure on
Republicans.
“He used that to say,
‘Guys, we’ve got to do some-
thing about the debt ceiling
crisis,”’ said Rep. Joe Walsh,
R-Ill. “The feeling in the
room was, ‘No, we’ve got to
do something about the debt
crisis”’ — a reference to the
GOP’s belief that the more
important issue is reducing
the debt.
A lower credit rating could
ripple through the U.S. econ-
omy in the form of higher
interest rates, hurting con-
sumers still trying to recover
from the worst recession in
decades.
Earlier today, House
Democrats emerged from a
White House meeting with
Obama sounding as if they
were at loggerheads with the
GOP over debt reduction.
Democrats and the presi-
dent agreed that higher rev-
enues need to be part of a bal-
anced debt-reduction pack-
age, said Democratic officials
with knowledge of the meet-
ing. Officials spoke on condi-
tion of anonymity to discuss
the private meeting.
Republicans oppose tax
increases. Some GOP fresh-
man who attended the meet-
ing with Geithner said he
stated that the administration
wants higher taxes on the rich
as part of a debt-cutting plan.
House Minority Leader
Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said.

500 feet. The moratorium was
lifted in October, but critics
say the granting of drilling
permits has been too slow
because of tough new safety
regulations. Shallow water
exploration and production
and deep water production
were never halted.
“The administration wast-
ed no time in effectively shut-
ting offshore drilling in the
Gulf of Mexico, the conse-
quence of which has been a
paralyzing loss of jobs in an
already weak economy,” Issa
said.
Interior Department offi-
cial Michael Bromwich dis-
puted GOP claims the mora-
torium had interrupted pro-
duction in the Gulf and led
to higher gas prices, saying
it “has had no impact on pro-
duction because production
was not stopped or delayed.”
A report prepared by
Republicans for the hearing
cited an internal memo from
Interior Secretary Ken Salazar
last July in which he said he
was aware that suspension of
deep water drilling “over the
next few months will have a
serious negative impact on
rig workers and those who
support them.”
Democrats stonewalled when
they were asked about their
colleague.
“I will have nothing to say
about that,” said fellow New
Yorker, Rep. Louise Slaughter.
“I’m here to put people to
work.”
“We’re not distracted by
that,” said Rep. Rob Andrews,
D-N.J.
The House’s top Democrat,
Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California,
earlier told ABC News that
she was “a late-comer to the
issue” — one that cable TV
and the Capitol press corps
have been fixated on for most
of the week.
Still, Pelosi added, “I have
confidence in Anthony Weiner
that if an investigation is in
order that will take place.”
Other top Democrats
expressed a desire for the issue
to disappear. Longtime Rep.
John Conyers of Michigan said
Weiner was a valuable member
of the Democratic caucus, and
he called the issue a distrac-
tion.
“The public mostly likes
entertainment and excitement
and that’s what the Weiner
issue provides,” he said.
“That’s human nature.”

Blue Jays fall in state semis

By JIM METCALFE
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com
COLUMBUS — St.
John’s had a great start in
its first-ever trip to the state
baseball semifinals Thursday
afternoon.
They got a run in the top of
the first inning at Huntington
Park in Columbus, the home
of the Columbus Clippers
Triple A baseball team.
After that, it was all New
Middletown Springfield.
The Tigers scored three
times in the bottom of the
inning and rode the strong
starting pitching of Nick
Russell to a 9-2 Division IV
victory.
The Tigers (18-6), run-

their fifth trip to the state
tournament, advance to take

“We have built this team
around offense; this is what
we work on all off-season.
We are patient and this
mature team is not afraid to
take pitches and hit with two
strikes,” Springfield first-year
coach Matt Weymer noted.
“Our whole approach is to
put the ball in play; we don’t
strike out much. We want
to make the other team get

want to have 21 tough outs

both sides back in court

BY DAVE CAMPBELL
The Associated Press
The summer has begun, and
the NFL and its locked-out play-
ers still lack an agreement to
guarantee games will be played
in 2011.
Urgency is apparent, but just
how close the situation can or
will get to the delay, alteration or
cancellation of the preseason —
or more — remains to be seen.
Both sides finished three
straight days of not-so-secret
negotiations Thursday near
Chicago, before the contingents
made their way to St. Louis. The
8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals
is holding a pivotal hearing tody
in the nearly three-month work
stoppage, determining whether
the lockout itself is legal after
U.S. District Judge Susan
Richard Nelson in Minnesota
ruled April 25 it wasn’t.
Lawyer Paul Clement will
argue the case in court for the
NFL. Several players are expect-
ed to attend the hearing in sup-
port of the other side.
As the three-judge panel takes
today’s arguments under advise-
ment, having already ruled 2-1
to put a stay on Nelson’s order
and keep the lockout in place
through the appeal process, the
start of training camps is creep-
ing closer.
“We can’t just go from
where we are now and jump into
games. There has to at least be
an abbreviated training camp to
get us somewhat prepared for
the season. If not, there are going
to be a lot of injuries,” said free
agent offensive tackle Damien
Woody, who last played for the

Mavs coach Rick Carlisle
said. “You have to keep
believing. All year our guys
have believed. And tonight
was another good example.”
Annoyed by Wade cele-
brating a 3-pointer in front of
the Dallas bench, Jason Terry
scored six straight points to
get the Mavericks going.
They wound up outscor-
ing the Heat 22-5 down the
stretch, with Dirk Nowitzki
scoring their final nine points.
The winner came on a layup
using his injured left hand,
giving Dallas a 95-93 victory
that will grow in lore should
the Mavs wind up winning
their first NBA title.
“You have to be a lit-
tle lucky, but we kept on
plugging,” Nowitzki said.
ence finals.
Three weeks before that,
they’d erased a 16-point,
third-quarter deficit to beat
the Lakers in Los Angeles.
A few days before that,
they bounced back from a
12-point deficit to beat the
Trail Blazers in Portland to
close out their first-round
series.
So during a timeout fol-
lowing Wade’s 3, the Mavs
sloughed off the first 7½
quarters they’d played in
the NBA finals and thought
back to how they got this far.
Carlisle specifically brought
up Oklahoma City, pointing
out that there were an extra
2 minutes to polish off this
comeback.
“We continued to keep
faith in ourselves, grinded it
the 3 in front of the Dallas
bench.
Fans anticipated some-
thing big happening on that
play because they already
were on their feet before
Wade even got the ball. As
they erupted in cheers, he
stayed in the corner holding
his hand in a follow-through
pose a little longer than the
Mavericks thought he should
have.
Some guys didn’t see it
— or said they didn’t. Those
that did made it clear that the
play sparked them.
“We were definitely
frustrated,” center Tyson
Chandler said. “When you’ve
got a guy celebrating in front
of your bench, when you’re
down 15 with 7 minutes to
go, you’re like, ‘The game
made another jumper with
3:11 left to put Dallas within
90-86.
Terry finished with 16
points, five assists, two steals
and a huge smile. It was
especially sweet for him to
stick it to the Heat, their fans
and Wade because he and
Nowitzki are the only play-
ers left from the 2006 Mavs
who blew the finals by los-
ing three straight games in
Miami — a meltdown that
began with Dallas blowing
a 13-point lead in the fourth
quarter of Game 3.
There’s no telling what
this result might do.
“Each finals, there’s
going to be a turning point,
a moment, so to speak,”
Terry said. “And tonight the
moment was ours.”

Moral Bravery and Wisdom

B
ravery is knowing the right thing to do and
doing it willingly in the face of considerable
risk, and even fear, with the full knowledge
of the risk. It is not fearlessness; being fearless in the
face of danger is reckless or foolhardy and a man who
does what he knows to be the right thing despite his
fear is undoubtedly braver than the man who feels no
fear. Many a brave soldier or firefighter has faced a hail
and may even be punished or ostracized for doing so.
St. Thomas Aquinas considered bravery to be crucial
for the virtuous life precisely because a kind of moral
or psychological courage is often necessary to carry
out the other virtues. The good life requires fortitude
and endurance because it is sometimes a long and hard
journey, and one brave act does not make one brave.

of bullets or gone in to a burning building with great
fear in his or her heart, but knowing it was the right
thing to do. We usually think of bravery as involving
physical risk such as injury or death, but there is also
moral bravery, where we risk humiliation or the nega-
tive judgement of our friends, family or colleagues.
For example, speaking an unpleasant but necessary
truth, such as telling someone that what they are doing
is wrong, as in blowing the whistle on illegal prac-
tices in the workplace. Doing the right thing frequently
requires courage, because we are not always rewarded,
I have fought the good fight,
I have finished the race,
I have kept the faith.

isdom is a quality that is hard to define,
though we usually know it when we
see it, and almost always recognize its
absence, which is folly. While it is often associated in
literature with bearded, white-haired gurus who give
sage advice, wisdom is essentially about having good
judgement and perspective. Older people seem to have
it simply because they have had more experiences,
and they have been through the trials and tribulations Freud was once asked what a normal healthy person

30 years of fighting AIDS brings hope for cure

By MARILYNN MARCHIONE
Associated Press
Sunday marks 30 years since the first AIDS
cases were reported in the United States. The
anniversary brings fresh hope for something
many had come to think was impossible: find-
ing a cure.
The example is Timothy Ray Brown of
San Francisco, the first person in the world
apparently cured of AIDS. His treatment isn’t
practical for wide use, but there are encourag-
ing signs that other approaches might someday
lead to a cure, or at least allow some people
to control HIV without needing medication
every day.
“I want to pull out all the stops to go for it,”
though cure is still a very difficult goal, said
Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National
Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
For now, the focus remains on preventing
new infections. With recent progress on novel
ways to do that and a partially effective vac-
cine, “we’re starting to get the feel that we
can really get our arms around this pandemic,”
Fauci said.
More than 25 million people have died of
AIDS since the first five cases were recognized
in Los Angeles in 1981.
More than 33 million people have HIV
now, including more than 1 million in the
United States.
About 2 million people die of the disease
each year, mostly in poor countries that lack
treatment. In the U.S. though, newly diag-
nosed patients have a life expectancy only a
few months shorter than people without HIV.
Modern drugs are much easier to take, and
many patients get by on a single pill a day.
But it wasn’t that way in 1995, when Brown,
an American working as a translator in Berlin,
learned he had HIV. He went on and off medi-
cines because of side effects but was holding
his own until 2006, when he was diagnosed
with leukemia, a problem unrelated to HIV.
Chemotherapy left him so sick he had to be put
into a coma to allow his body to recover.
Dr. Gero Huetter, a blood cancer expert at
the University of Berlin, knew that a transplant
of blood stem cells (doctors used to use bone
marrow) was the best hope for curing Brown’s
cancer. But he aimed even higher.
These people had gene mutations that pro-
vide natural resistance to the virus. About
1 percent of whites have them, and Huetter
proposed searching for a person who also was
a tissue match for Brown.
But transplants are grueling. Huetter would
have to destroy Brown’s diseased immune sys-
tem with chemo and radiation, then transplant
the donor’s cells and hope they would take
hold and grow. Many cancer patients die from
such attempts and Brown wasn’t willing to risk
it. Several months later, the return of leukemia
changed their minds.
Brown discussed the transplant with his
boss “and she said, ‘wow, this is amazing.
Because you have leukemia, you could be
cured of HIV.”’
A registry turned up more than 200 possible
donors and Huetter started testing them for the
HIV resistance gene. He hit pay dirt at No. 61
— a German man living in the United States,
around 25 years old.
Brown had the transplant in February 2007.
A year later, his leukemia returned but HIV did
not. He had a second transplant in March 2008
from the same donor.
Now 45, Brown needs no medicines, and
his only health problems are from the mug-
ging he suffered two years ago as he returned
home one night in Berlin. Brown was knocked
unconscious, required brain surgery and thera-
py to walk and talk again, and doesn’t have full
use of one arm. He moved back to the United
States in December.
“He’s now four years off his antiretroviral
therapy and we have no evidence of HIV in
any tissue or blood that we have tested,” even
places where the virus can lie dormant for
many years, Huetter said.
Brown’s success inspired scientists to try a
similar but less harsh tactic: modifying some
of a patient’s infection-fighting blood cells to
contain the mutation and resist HIV. In theory,
this would strengthen the immune system
enough that people would no longer need to
take HIV drugs to keep the virus suppressed.
Scientists recently tried this gene therapy
in a couple dozen patients, including Matthew
Sharp of suburban San Francisco. More than
six months later, the number of his infection-
fighting blood cells is “still significantly higher
than baseline,” he said.
It will take more time to know if gene
therapy works and is safe. Experiments on doz-
ens of patients are under way, including some
where patients go off their HIV medicines and
doctors watch to see if the modified cells con-
trol the virus.
The results so far on the cell counts “are all
wonderful findings but they could all amount
to nothing” unless HIV stays suppressed, said
Dr. Jacob Lalezari, director of Quest Clinical
Research in San Francisco who is leading one
of the studies.
The approach also is not practical for poor
countries.
“I wouldn’t want people to think that gene
therapy is going to be something you can do on
33 million people,” said Fauci.
Other promising approaches to a cure try
new ways to attack the dormant virus problem,
he said. They hinge on getting people tested
and into care as soon as they become infected.
Fauci’s institute has boosted money for cure
research, and the International AIDS Society, a
professional organization for those who work
in the field, has added finding a cure to its
strategic plan.
“There are paths forward now” to a day
when people with AIDS might be cured, said
Dr. Michael Horberg, president of President
Obama’s HIV/AIDS council and of the HIV
Medicine Association, doctors who treat the dis-
ease. “But it’s not tomorrow, and it’s not today.”

Flood-threatened residents evac. Unabomber auction nets $190K Man kills 5 before taking own life

PIERRE, S.D. — Flood-threatened neighborhoods of the
South Dakota capital and its sister city across the swollen
Missouri River largely emptied on Thursday as residents heeded
calls to leave for higher ground ahead of the planned release of
water from upstream dams.
Most of the approximately 3,000 people living in low-lying
areas of Pierre and Fort Pierre had left homes, and others loading
their belongings onto pickup trucks said they’d be gone by Gov.
Dennis Daugaard’s unofficial deadline of 8 p.m. No one was
ordered to leave home ahead of today’s planned dam releases, but
it appeared few were willing to take their chances.
Water releases from the Oahe Dam were expected to increase
slightly starting today morning and gradually rise until Tuesday,
when water levels were projected to crest four feet higher, or
about two feet below the levee top. Officials have kept the releases
steady for nearly a week as people moved possessions to higher
ground, placed sandbags around their homes and arranged for
other places to live.
A similar release schedule was planned starting Saturday at
Gavin’s Point Dam upstream of Dakota Dunes, where the water
level is expected to eventually rise another seven feet by June 14,
again cresting about two feet below the tops of levees.
Daugaard and other officials said emergency earthen levees
being built to protect the threatened areas should be completed in
time to stop the rising water, but the governor warned people not
to assume the levees would hold.
“While we hope the levees will provide protection for proper-
ty, we urge that people not place themselves in danger or become
complacent because a levee that is holding today is just holding
today,” Daugaard said.
In North Dakota, the Souris River at Minot crested Thursday
after about 10,000 residents had been evacuated two days earlier.
In Montana, which has been by widespread flooding from
heavy rains in the past couple of weeks, federal officials started
ramping up water releases Thursday from Fort Peck Dam.
Officials warned dozens of residents downstream their homes
could flood when the peak is released in the next two weeks.
And in Missouri, Gov. Jay Nixon warned that the river there
would rise to “unprecedented” levels. Residents in the northwest-
ern part of the state, who have plenty experience dealing with
floods, were preparing Thursday to either evacuate or help fill
more than 75,000 sandbags.
Back in South Dakota, Ed Stutesman of Pierre said it was a sad
day Thursday as he finished moving things out of his house.
“When you leave your own place, it’s a different life. Thirty-
five years I’ve lived here. Now I’ve got to go live someplace
else,” Stutesman said.
Steve Ellwein said he worked hard to develop a business and
build a nice house on the river near Fort Pierre, but now he and
his wife had to move out.
“I moved back in my old bedroom in my parents’ house. I’m
saying what’s wrong with that picture,” Ellwein said.
The mayors of Pierre and Fort Pierre said they have mostly
finished protecting water, electrical and other utilities against the
rising water. Law officers will soon start patrolling the emergency
levees to make sure they do not leak.
“I think we’re about as prepared as we can be,” Fort Pierre
Mayor Sam Tidball said.
Tidball urged people to stay away from the fast-flowing water
in the river, noting that no lives have been lost yet.
NJ gov. reimburses state for flights
By BETH DeFALCO
Associated Press
TRENTON, N.J. — After taking a beating for more than
a day, Gov. Chris Christie agreed Thursday to reimburse the
state for personal use of a police helicopter to fly to two of his
son’s high school baseball games and a political dinner with
GOP donors.
But the governor, revered among Republicans for his
hard-charging, budget-cutting ways and reviled among many
Democrats for the same traits, made no apologies for what he
called an effort to be a good father.
Christie, often mentioned as a potential 2012 presidential
candidate, said he paid $2,100 and asked the state Republican
Party to pay $1,200 to cover the costs — not because he
believed he was in the wrong but because the furor had become
a distraction from serious matters.
“I want to make sure the public understands that I’m doing
this because of the duty I feel to them to have my attention
and everyone else’s attention focused 100 percent on the real
problems of this state,” he said, “not the political theater and
media theater that people enjoy at times.”
“I also understand this is a really fun media story for all of
you,” he told reporters at a bill signing ceremony in Denville.
He said he had been assured by the state police that he did
not have to reimburse the state for the personal flights because
the pilots needed to log the flying hours anyway to keep their
skills sharp. And he said he chose to fly to his son’s ballgames
as a way of balancing his role as governor because there was
no other way to get there in time.
“We tried to balance me being governor, and my demands
on that, with my responsibility as a father,” Christie said. “I’m
governor 24-7, every single day, but I’m also a father. And the
fact of the matter is, sometimes when you are governor, you do
not control your schedule.”
Christie’s reversal came a day after a spokesman defended
the trips as appropriate and said the governor does not reim-
burse for security and travel.
SAN FRANCISCO — The very technology that the Unabomber
railed against during his murderous spree was used Thursday to
help some of his victims.
An unusual online auction of Ted Kaczynski’s personal items
that ended Thursday garnered about $190,000 for his victims and
their family members. They want the so-called Unabomber to pay
for the 16 explosions he set off that killed three and injured 23 oth-
ers across the country.
Kaczynski’s personal journals fetched $40,676; the iconic hood-
ed sweatshirt and sunglasses depicted in police sketch artist render-
ings accounted for $20,025; and his handwritten “manifesto” sold
for $20,053. Other popular items included $22,003 for the Smith
Corona typewriter used to write manifestos sent to newspapers and
later seized from the cabin and $17,780 for his autobiography.
The manifesto laid out Kaczynski’s belief that modern technology
was eroding human freedoms and that his bombings were necessary
to spark a large-scale revolution. The pursuit of Kaczynski became
one of the longest and costliest investigations in the FBI’s history.
The auction was a culmination of a seven-year legal battle
designed to block Kaczynski from regaining ownership of the prop-
erty seized from his remote Montana cabin during a 1996 raid.
Kaczynski, representing himself in court, demanded return of
the property so he could donate it to the University of Michigan,
his alma mater. But because Kaczynski was ordered to pay his
victims $15 million, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ordered
the property auctioned.
“He wanted his stuff back, and this way he doesn’t get it back,”
said Susan Mosser, whose advertising executive husband Thomas
was killed by a parcel bomb in 1994. “He also hasn’t paid a cent
of restitution.”
Mosser said she hoped that some of the 40,000 pages of docu-
ments would end up in academia.
The museum in Washington, D.C., includes a crime lab, the
filming studios for the show “America’s Most Wanted” and hun-
dreds of interactives and artifacts.
In all, collectors snatched up 58 items seized during the raid
of Kaczynski’s remote Montana cabin in 1996. Those bidders
remained anonymous.
Some victims and others opposed the auction as unseemly. They
feared the publicity surrounding the event would add to Kaczynski’s
renown at a time when they want him to languish quietly in the so-
called supermax federal prison in Florence, Colo.
Gates: US, China more positive
By ROBERT BURNS
Associated Press
SINGAPORE — Military relations between the U.S. and
China are now on “a more positive trajectory” after recent set-
backs, but the two countries should do more to strengthen ties and
work together to solve regional problems, U.S. Defense Secretary
Robert Gates said today.
In opening remarks at a meeting with his Chinese counterpart,
Gen. Liang Guanglie, Gates said the two governments agree that
the military aspect of their overall relationship is “underdevel-
oped.” Some progress toward correcting that imbalance has been
made in recent months, Gates said, noting his own visit to Beijing
in January and other high-level defense exchanges.
“As I leave office at the end of this month, I believe that our
military relationship is on a more positive trajectory,” Gates said.
He noted that Navy Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff, has accepted an invitation to visit China in July.
In response, Liang told Gates that he, too, believes the relation-
ship is improving.
Reporters were escorted from the defense chiefs’ meeting
room before Liang finished his opening remarks. They met on the
opening day of the Shangri-La Dialogue, the pre-eminent annual
Asian security conference, where Gates will deliver a policy
speech Saturday.
In what Gates and others see as an encouraging sign, China for
the first time chose to send its defense minister to the conference,
now in its 10th year. Guanglie is scheduled to deliver a keynote
address on Sunday, one day after Gates departs.
Geoff Morrell, the Pentagon press secretary, said Gates’ meet-
ing with Liang lasted nearly an hour — about twice as long as
scheduled, and that the two men agreed it is the responsibility of
their respective defense establishments to push for further prog-
ress. Morrell said Gates told Liang he is confident that his desig-
nated successor, Leon Panetta, will carry on Gates’ efforts.
A central theme of Gates’ message in Singapore is that Asian
nations should not believe that impending U.S. defense budget
cuts will lead to a smaller U.S. military presence in Asia. U.S.
officials are concerned that some in the region could tilt toward
China if they believe they are being abandoned by the U.S. or per-
ceive less-sturdy assurances of American support in the long run.
The main U.S. military presence in Asia is in Japan and
South Korea, but Washington also has close military ties to the
Philippines, Thailand, Taiwan and Singapore. The Pentagon is
in the midst of an internal review of its force alignment in the
region, with the outcome expected to call for a wider range of
military exchanges, exercises and ship, aircraft and troop rotations
in Southeast Asia.
How that is achieved will depend to a large degree on how
deeply the Pentagon cuts its budget in coming years.
President Barack Obama on April 13 announced a plan to
reduce defense spending by $400 billion over the next 12 years,
and some in Congress — as well as some independent analysts
— are calling for far deeper reductions. With an end in sight for
the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, defense savings are central to a
broader effort to shrink government deficits.
YUMA, Ariz. — A 73-year-old man’s shooting rampage in
towns near the Arizona border left six people dead Thursday,
including the suspect and the attorney who represented his ex-
wife in their divorce.
Police said Carey Hal Dyess also wounded one person in
the shootings around Yuma, a city of about 91,000, before he
was found dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound
nearly six hours after the first shots were fired.
The lawyer was killed while packing up his office on his
last day of work.
“This is not a random act,” Yuma Police Chief Jerry Geier
said. “These victims were targeted.”
Yuma County Sheriff Ralph Ogden said the first shoot-
ing was reported shortly after 5 a.m. in Wellton, about 25
miles east of Yuma. The woman was in critical condition at a
Phoenix hospital.
He said Dyess then fatally shot four people around town
before driving to Yuma and killing prominent attorney Jerrold
Shelley at about 9:20 a.m. The bodies in Wellton were found
between 8:20 and 9:45 a.m.
Police believe Dyess drove back toward Wellton, pulled
over and fatally shot himself. His body was found at 10:47 a.m.
inside a vehicle.
Neither police nor the sheriff would identify the other four
dead.
Shelley was killed in his downtown law office. Shelley
represented Dyess’ ex-wife in their 2006 divorce, which was
Dyess’ fifth.
Vida Florez, a Yuma attorney who knew Shelley, said she
learned of the shooting after leaving court. She said she heard
from a witness who spoke to the police about what happened
inside the office.
“They said the shooter came in and told the secretary to
‘Get out of here,”’ Florez said. “She did, and he shot Jerry
Shelley and he left.”
Shelley also was one of the lawyers representing seven
young men — three sets of brothers — who sued the Roman
Catholic Diocese of Tucson after accusing a priest of repeat-
edly raping them when they were children.
A man and woman were found dead in a small farm house
outside the nearby town of Wellton, said Yuma police Sgt.
John Otero. The tree-shaded home was set back about 100 feet
from a highway, with a cow pasture in front.
The downtown shooting prompted officials to block off a
street and to lock down the nearby county courthouse and some
schools. Those buildings were later reopened.
Court records show Dyess was involved in two civil court
cases, one in Yuma and one in Wellton. A judge issued an
order of protection against Dyess in one of the cases in 2006,
and a court clerk said it stemmed from Dyess’ divorce. No
information was immediately available on those cases.
Court records also show the 2006 divorce was Dyess’ fifth,
with the previous four divorces all in Washington state.
The divorce file showed that Theresa and Carey Dyess
were married in Tombstone in May 2002 and the couple filed
for divorce in 2006. Theresa Dyess alleged there had been
domestic violence and she asked for and received an order of
protection. No details of that incident were immediately avail-
able in the court file.
Carey Dyess later took out a protection order against
Theresa Dyess, records showed.
The divorce was granted and the couple later agreed on a
property split that gave Theresa Dyess the couple’s home in
Wellton once she bought out her former husband’s share.
A lawyer for Carey Dyess filed a brief in October 2008 that
said Carey Dyess had not been paid more than a year after the
divorce became final.
“Mr. Dyess is sick and believes (his ex-wife) is ‘holding
out,’ waiting for him to die, Yuma attorney Gregory Torok
wrote in a court petition. The file shows the issue led to a final
settlement two months later.
Dyess also took out an order of protection against a man
he identified as ‘my wife’s boyfriend,” who he alleged was
harassing him by driving by his home every day.
