Stadium project going well after Phase 2

By JIM METCALFE

DELPHOS — The
Delphos Stadium Club had
a 3-step project to renovate
Stadium Park and its football
field.
After the work done on
the home side of the football
field this summer, Phase 2 is
all but complete, according to
club trustee John Nomina.
“We’ve got a couple more
things to do, like putting in
different lights in the tun-
nels and renovating the main
entrance on the east side, as
well as some work on the
south side,” Nomina noted
Wednesday night as the club
honored benefactors and
volunteers for its work this
summer at the stadium. “We
already have a busy sum-
mer planned for next year.
We want to add some side-
walks around the park to
allow for better maneuver-
ability around the premises.
We have some work to do
in the restrooms as well. We
want to finish the project
next year.”
As far as the previous-
ly-planned changing of the
sides: the current home side
would become the visitors
and vice versa; Nomina fig-
ures that is up to the two
schools but to do so, more
work would need to be done
as far as concessions and rest
rooms.
The work that has been
done so far — blasting and
repainting of the home sta-
dium bleachers, opening up
of the tunnel underneath the
concrete stadium, closing off
and remodeling the handicap
ramp — has spruced up the
stadium and been a tribute to
the community.
“With all the volunteer
work we did, we probably
saved at least $50-75,000
and I think that’s conserva-
tive,” he added. “We had

Congress: Re-election
more urgent than budget
By ANDREW TAYLOR
and LAURIE KELLMAN
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — A
deeply unpopular Congress
is bolting for the campaign
trail without finishing its
most basic job — approving
a budget for the government
year that begins on Friday.
Lawmakers also are postpon-
ing a major fight over taxes,
two embarrassing ethics cases
and other political hot pota-
toes until angry and frustrated
voters render their verdict in
the Nov. 2 elections.
As a last necessary task
before leaving, both the
Senate and House passed a
temporary spending measure
needed to keep federal agen-
cies operating when the new
budget year starts.
As Congress moved
toward a messy end to a ses-
sion fraught with partisan
fire, President Barack Obama
campaigned for Democrats in
Iowa and Virginia, accusing
Republicans of being dishon-
est about what needs to be
done to revive the econo-
my and restore middle-class
dreams.
With their House and
Senate majorities on the line,
Democratic leaders called off
votes and even debates on all
controversial matters.
“It would be one thing
Recession rips marriages, expands
gap between haves, have-nots
By HOPE YEN
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The
recession seems to be socking
Americans in the heart as well
as the wallet: Marriages have
hit an all-time low while pleas
for food stamps have reached
a record high and the gap
between rich and poor has
grown to its widest ever.
The long recession tech-
nically ended in mid-2009,
economists say, but U.S.
Census data released Tuesday
show the painful, lingering
effects. The annual survey
covers all of last year, when
unemployment skyrocketed
to 10 percent, and the jobless
rate is still a stubbornly high
9.6 percent.
The figures also show that
Americans on average have
been spending about 36 fewer
minutes in the office per week
and are stuck in traffic a bit
less than they had been. But
that is hardly good news,
either. The reason is largely
that people have lost jobs or
are scraping by with part-time
work.
“Millions of people are
stuck at home because they
can’t find a job. Poverty
increased in a majority of
states, and children have
been hit especially hard,” said

High court looks at military funeral protests
By MARK SHERMAN
The Associated Press
YORK, Pa. — One thing
Al Snyder wants to make
clear: His boy fought and died
for freedom in Iraq, but not for
the right of some “wackos” to
spew hate at soldiers’ funer-
als under the protection of the
Constitution.
“It’s an insult to myself,
my family and the veterans to
say this is what our military
men and women died for,”
Snyder says, barely conceal-
ing his anger.
Yet more than four years
after the death of his only
son, Matthew, Snyder is in the
middle of a Supreme Court
case that raises almost pre-
cisely that issue.
The court is set to decide
whether members of a fun-
damentalist church in Kansas
who picketed Matthew’s
funeral with signs bearing
anti-gay and anti-Catholic
invective have a constitutional
right to say what they want.
Or, in intruding on a pri-
vate citizen’s funeral in a
hurtful way, have the protest-
ers crossed a line and given
Snyder the right to collect
millions of dollars for the
emotional pain they caused?
The justices will hear
arguments in the case next
if you have a chance to
pass something, then by all
means have a vote,” Sen.
Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., said
Wednesday. “But it was pret-
ty clear that it was going to
be mutually assured destruc-
tion.”
One foot out the door, the
House and Senate convened
just long enough to vote on
a “continuing resolution,”
a stopgap measure to keep
the government in operating
funds for the next two months
and avoid a pre-election fed-
eral shutdown.
The Senate late Wednesday
approved the temporary
spending bill 69-30. The
House followed suit several
hours later with a 228-194
vote, sending it to Obama
early today.
“We may not agree on
much, but I think, with rare
exception, all 100 senators
want to get out of here and
get back to their states,”
said Senate Majority Leader
Harry Reid, who is locked
in a tough re-election fight
against Republican Sharron
Angle in Nevada.
Staying or going might
seem an equally unpleasant
prospect for some embattled
Democrats, who are facing
more than four weeks of
defending unpopular votes in
favor of Obama’s economic
stimulus measure, health care
president of the Population
Reference Bureau.
The economic “indicators
say we’re in recovery, but the
impact on families and chil-
dren will linger on for years,”
he said.
Take marriage.
In America, marriages fell
to a record low in 2009, with
just 52 percent of adults 18
and over saying they were
joined in wedlock, compared
to 57 percent in 2000.
The never-married included
46.3 percent of young adults
25-34, with sharp increases
in single people in cities in
the Midwest and Southwest,
including Cleveland,
Phoenix, Los Angeles and
Albuquerque, N.M. It was the
first time the share of unmar-
ried young adults exceeded
those who were married.
Marriages have been
declining for years due to ris-
ing divorce, more unmarried
couples living together and
increased job prospects for
women. But sociologists say
younger people are also now
increasingly choosing to delay
marriage as they struggle to
find work and resist making
long-term commitments.
In dollar terms, the rich
are still getting richer, and the
poor are falling further behind
them.
The income gap between
Wednesday.
The case is shaping up as
a potentially important test
of the First Amendment.
“The difficulty in this case is
that the speech occurs at the
most personal and sensitive
of times,” said Cliff Sloan, a
First Amendment expert at
the Skadden, Arps law firm
and the former publisher of
Slate magazine.
Margie Phelps, a daughter
of the pastor of the Westboro
Baptist Church and the law-
yer representing her fam-
ily members at the Supreme
Court, said that if the jus-
tices reinstate the $5 million
judgment to Snyder, anyone
who says anything upsetting
to a mourner “is subject to a
crushing penalty.”
But Snyder said in an inter-
view with The Associated
Press that if he had the chance,
he would tell the justices “that
this isn’t a case of free speech.
It’s a case of harassment.”
Snyder’s nightmare began
on a late winter night in 2006
when he flipped on the porch
light and saw two uniformed
Marines standing at the front
door of his home in this small
south central Pennsylvania
city.
He knew right away that
Matthew was dead, after just
five weeks in Iraq.

law and uncompleted legisla-
tion for curbing global warm-
ing.
They also head home with-
out what was supposed to be
their closing argument of the
campaign, an extension of
Bush-era tax cuts for families
making less than $250,000.
Republicans and a few
Democrats urged Congress to
preserve the tax cuts for all
Americans, even the wealthi-
est. Democratic leaders opted
to avoid the risk of being
branded tax hikers and punt-
ed the matter until after the
elections.
Republicans applied
the label anyway, scold-
ing Democrats for folding
the tent without voting on
extending former President
George W. Bush’s tax cuts
beyond their Dec. 31 expira-
tion. A motion to adjourn
upon completing routine
business passed by a single
vote, House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi’s, after 39 Democrats
joined Republicans in pro-
test.
“If Democratic leaders
leave town without stop-
ping all of the tax hikes, they
are turning their backs on
the American people,” said
House Minority Leader John
Boehner.
Pelosi has vowed that the
middle class tax cuts will be
passed this year.
the richest and poorest
Americans grew last year
to its largest margin ever, a
stark divide as Democrats and
Republicans spar over wheth-
er to extend Bush-era tax cuts
for the wealthy.
The top-earning 20 percent
of Americans — those mak-
ing more than $100,000 each
year — received 49.4 percent
of all income generated in the
U.S., compared with the 3.4
percent made by the bottom
20 percent of earners, those
who fell below the poverty
line, according to the new fig-
ures. That ratio of 14.5-to-1
was an increase from 13.6 in
2008 and nearly double a low
of 7.69 in 1968.
At the top, the wealthiest
5 percent of Americans, who
earn more than $180,000,
added slightly to their annual
incomes last year, the data
show. Families at the $50,000
median level slipped lower.
Three states — New York,
Connecticut and Texas — and
the District of Columbia had
the largest gaps between rich
and poor. Big gaps were also
evident in large cities such
as New York, Miami, Los
Angeles, Boston and Atlanta,
home to both highly paid
financial and high-tech jobs
as well as clusters of poorer
immigrant and minority resi-
dents.
He could accept his son’s
death because Matthew always
wanted to be a soldier.
But Snyder was not pre-
pared for what came next.
Eleven hundred miles
away, in Topeka, Kan., the
Rev. Fred Phelps and other
family members who make up
most of the Westboro Baptist
Church decided that Snyder’s
funeral at a Catholic church in
Westminster, Md., would be
their next stop.
Phelps and his small band
of followers have picketed
many military funerals in
their quest to draw attention
to their incendiary view that
U.S. deaths in Afghanistan
and Iraq are God’s punish-
ment for the nation’s toler-
ance of homosexuality.
They showed up with the
usual signs, including “Thank
God for dead soldiers,”
“You’re Going to Hell,” “God
Hates the USA/Thank God
for 9/11,” and one that com-
bined the U.S. Marine Corps
motto, Semper Fi, with a slur
against gay men.
The church members drew
counter-demonstrators, as
well as media coverage and
a heavy police presence to
maintain order. The result was
a spectacle that led to altering
the route of the funeral pro-
cession.

6 – The Herald
Jays seek to stay atop MAC
By JIM METCALFE
The Delphos Herald
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com
St. John’s should be get-
ting pretty good at defending
spread-type offenses.
Friday night’s Midwest
Athletic Conference tussle
with Versailles at Stadium
Park is the third straight week
the Blue Jays
will face that
kind of offen-
sive attack.
“It’s a typical
spread offense.
It all starts with
the quarterback
and Damien FOOTBALL
Winner has a PREVIEW
nice, accurate
arm,” Blue Jays coach Todd
Schulte explained. “He has
two top targets in McNeilan
and (Jordan) Monnin but he
spreads it around very well.
They have some good speed
but they are more athletic than
fast; they understand the con-
cepts about the routes they
are running and they run them
well. They don’t have great
size up front but they are also
athletic; with the spread, you
don’t need the size, just to be
able to move well.
“Defensively, they run the
4-4 but we have seen them in
two styles. One game, they
blitzed all game; another, they
hardly blitzed at all. We’re
anticipating they will be blitz-
ing, so we’re preparing for it.
We don’t want to get caught
unprepared. What they tend
to do is walk their outside
linebacker up on our tight end
and make it difficult for him
to release.”
The Blue Jays (top-ranked
in Division VI and Region 22
at 5-0, 3-0 MAC) outscored
their first five opponents
34.4-9.6 and outgained them
348.6-231.6.
Jordan Leininger’s transi-
tion to quarterback is smooth-
ing itself out as he is the top
Jay offensively (66 rushes,
532 yards, 5 TDs; 29-of-61
passing, 452 yards, 5 scores, 1
pick). Evan Burgei (76 rush-
es, 509 yards, 8 tallies) and
Jordan Bergfeld (29 rushes,
145 yards, 2 tallies; 4 catches,

game, with Tyler Bergfeld (8
grabs, 135 yards, 2 scores)

another weapon. Making it

Cody Brinkman (14 and 8)
and cornerback Ryan Densel
(18 and 3; 4 picks, 1 for a
score).
“They like to run the bub-
ble screens and the screens,
just to get the ball out of
the hands of the quarterback
quickly. Again, Winners is
also is a good enough runner to
keep you honest; if you don’t
keep him contained, he can
give them the big play with
his legs,” Schulte explained.
“Defensively, you know they
will complete passes, it’s the
nature of the offense. The key
is to tackle and not let those
2-yard gains become 20. I’d
rather force them to put drives
together instead of making a
big play for a score.
“Offensively, it’s simply
communicating up front to
pick up their linebackers. For
us to establish the line of
scrimmage, we have to block
those linebackers.”
The Jays came off a 37-13
trouncing of Anna the week
before and bashed St. Henry
31-7 a week ago.
“Getting off to a great start
was big for us; we had the
two big plays that got us up
14 points,” Schulte added.
“I think once we did that,
we kind of put it on cruise
control. We came into that
game with the same inten-

sity we had the week before
but it didn’t last. The only
thing I think we really need to
improve is carrying intensity
throughout the game.”
Being in year 3 of the same
offensive scheme has paid div-
idends for the Tigers, despite
a 24-7 loss to Coldwater for
this first loss.
“ I t ’ s
a combi-
nation of
things. One,
the familiar-
ity with new
schemes on
both sides
of the ball;
the kids
understand
the stuff Klaus
we’re try-
ing to get going,” Versailles
caoch Bob Olwin noted.
“Two, it’s a matter of simply
having more confidence in
what we’re doing, especially
under center; we’re not think-
ing so much as it’s becoming
second nature.
“Defensively, we’ve gone
back to the 4-4 defense that
was used here under (legend-
ary coach) Al Hetrick. Finally,
our offensive line is leaps and
bounds better than they were
as far as communicating as to
what’s coming.”
Winner handles the quar-
terbacking chores. He gets
a lot of help from other
seniors like Monnin, James
Wilke, Joey Knapke and Joey
Brandt.
“The first thing we can-
not have this year is to be as
intimidated as we were last
year. It took us a too long to
figure out we could play with
them,” Olwin added. “They
won state as sophomores and
were runner-ups as juniors;
they are now senior men.
They have no weaknesses.
The only real changes are at
quarterback and Leininger is
picking up where Ulm left
off. That offensive line is a
veteran crew.
“We have to tackle well
against their backs; if you hit
them too high, we can’t stop
them. We have to give our
quarterback time to throw or
we have no chance.”

Wildcats seek to rebound from LCC loss
By JIM METCALFE
The Delphos Herald
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com
Jefferson’s gridders may
have a team with noth-
ing to lose on their heads
as they head to Convoy to
battle Crestview in Northwest
Conference action Friday
night at Crestview Athletic
Complex.
“They
run the
double-slot
offense,
much like
Navy, and
they run
two primary FOOTBALL
options: the PREVIEW
triple and the
midline,” Jefferson coach Bub
Lindeman explained. “Dallis
Gibson runs the option very
well but as of this time, he
doesn’t throw very well or
much. Matt Holden was their
tailback last year and is now a
wing; if Gibson doesn’t run it,
Holden does and he has good
speed. They don’t have a lot
of overall size — they have
a couple of guys with size —
but I think we match up well
with them in that area.
“Defensively, they run a
base 4-3 and have a lot of
blitz packages, especially on
the edges. They also go with
a 4-2-5 look and do some of
the same things. They blitz
from different angles with
their linebackers and second-
ary.”
The Wildcats (3-2, 3-1
NWC) have been outscored
21.4-13.4 in their first five
games but outgained their
foes 207.4-204.4.
Curtis Miller (63 rushes,
222 yards, 2 tallies) leads the
attack, along with Mitchell
Antalis (47 for 153, 1), Jacob
Leach (34 for 154; 6 grabs, 51
yards), Jesse Cano (36-of-68
passing, 459 yards, 6 scores,
5 picks), Logan Bonifas (16
grabs, 174 yards, 3 TDS),
Nick Cook (5 for 108, 1)
and Kody Richardson (5 for
51, 1). However, 2-way line-
man and kicker A.J. Cross
(27 solos, 5 assists) is done
for the season with a bro-
19-1.
Nikki Kaufman scored
twice for the hosts and
Summer Holtkamp added
a goal and an assist past
Bluffton keeper Abbey
Heslep (16 saves). Erika
Brinkman and Samantha
Edwards added assists.
Sarah Verhoff had one
save for the hosts.
Kalida hosts Archbold 5
p.m. tonight.

sive tackle.
“We have
to be physi- Bonifas
cal on both
sides of the ball. That’s our
first key,” Lindeman noted.
“Secindly, we just have to
get back to good execution
offensively. We have to start
being more consistent; part
of whatw e didn’t do last
week was a credit to LCC’s
defense. Third, we have to
take care of the turnovers
and the special teams. They
turned the tide early last week
and we’ve worked to address
them this week.”
The Wildcats fell behind
early en route to a 42-0 loss to
Lima Central Catholic.
“We had a couple of
moments offensively, just
nothing consistent. We
had to play a near perfect
game; we knew that com-
ing in,” Lindeman added.
“Defensively, I don’t think
we played badly but 21 of
their points came on turn-
overs and special teams. Still,
I felt we made some strides
on the offensive line after
taking a step backward from
the Allen East game the week
before.
“We’re still looking to get
better up front; we want to be
better this week than we were
last week.”
Crestview (1-4, 0-3 NWC)
under first-year coach Troy
Temple have had its share of
growing pains, even as they
come off a 20-6 loss to Allen
East.

“We’ve got different sys-
tems on both sides of the ball
and it’s taken time for the
kids to make the adjustments.
We’ve made our share of mis-
takes because of trying to pick
them up; you expect growing
pains,” Temple noted. “We
haven’t put one game togeth-
er on both sides of the ball.
One week,
we turn the
ball over too
much that
prevents us
from being
able to fin-
ish games
when we’ve
had chances
to win down Antalis
the stretch
and we play
good defense. The next week,
it’s vice versa. Again, we
have yet to put four quarters
together.
“It doesn’t help that we
don’t have a lot of depth, so
we’re playing a lot of kids on
both sides of the ball. That
doesn’t help us in crunch
time; we get tired and make
more mistakes.”
Leading the way for the
Knights are the likes of
Gibson at quarterback/free
safety, Holden on the perim-
eter on both sides, Rob Cook
(running back/linebacker),
wideout/linebacker Joey
Overmyer and two-way line-
men Daniel Lichtensteiger
and Jared Burger.
“Jefferson has been play-
ing extremely well on defense,
especially the Cross kid. We
know we need to block him
because he’s a playmaker up
front, as well as others in
that lineup,” Temple added.
“Offensively, Bonifas is a
real concern for us with his
athleticism on the perimeter.
“No disrespect to Delphos
but at this point in the season,
our focus is on trying to do
better what we do: learning
how to run the triple option
better, for example, how to
run our defensive scheme
quicker and more actively.
Our tackling has to be good
this week or else they can run
us over.”
Fricke (12 kills; 15 digs) and
Amanda Koszela (16 digs).

AL homer, John Buck and Travis Snider added solo

By The Associated Press
ARLINGTON, Texas — Mitch Moreland
raced home from first base with the winning
run after a wild pitch and a throwing error on a
strikeout with two outs in the ninth inning, lifting
AL West champion Texas to a 6-5 victory over
last-place Seattle on Wednesday.
Moreland reached on a two-out walk in the
ninth off Dan Cortes (0-1). Pinch-hitter Nelson
Cruz struck out, but reached on a wild pitch that
bounced past catcher Guillermo Quiroz.
Quiroz retrieved the ball, but threw wildly
into right field trying to get Cruz at first. Moreland
never stopped running and beat the throw home
by right fielder Ichiro Suzuki.
Neftali Feliz (4-3), the third Rangers reliev-
er, struck out one in a perfect ninth.
The Rangers scored three runs in the
eighth to tie the game at 5-all, scoring on a
bases-loaded walk and another wild pitch by
Cortes.
Angels 2, Athletics 1, 11 innings
ANAHEIM, Calif. — Torii Hunter’s two-out
single drove home Jeff Mathis in the 11th inning
and Los Angeles swept Oakland.
Los Angeles failed to score with the bases
loaded and one out in both the ninth and 10th
innings. Mathis and Howie Kendrick singled in
the 11th against Brad Ziegler (3-7). Hunter lined
a hit to center, ending a disappointing season at
Angel Stadium with a fireworks celebration for
the dethroned AL West champions.
Kendrick had three hits for the Angels, who
will miss the postseason for the first time since
2006. Their three-year reign atop the division
officially ended last weekend when the Texas
Rangers clinched the title in Oakland.
Blue Jays 8, Yankees 4
TORONTO — Aaron Hill hit a three-run
drives and Toronto gave retiring manager Cito
Gaston a winning send-off in his home finale.
The Yankees remained a half-game behind
Tampa Bay in the AL East race. The Rays lost
2-0 to Baltimore.
Alex Rodriguez homered for the Yankees,
giving him 13 straight years with 30 home runs
and 100 RBIs.
Hill drove in four runs as the Blue Jays won
for the sixth time in seven games. The Yankees,
already assured a playoff spot, saw Javier
Vazquez (10-10) get tagged for seven runs and
10 hits in 4 2-3 innings.
Brett Cecil (14-7) allowed three runs and
nine hits in 5 1-3 innings.
Orioles 2, Rays 0
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Kevin Millwood
allowed two hits over seven innings and Felix
Pie hit a two-run triple for Baltimore before a
capacity crowd of 36,973.
The Rays gave away 20,000 tickets for the
regular-season home finale.
Tampa Bay clinched its second playoff
berth in three years before 17,891 on Tuesday
night. Monday night’s potential clincher drew
12,446, a number that moved stars Evan
Longoria and David Price to complain about a
lack of fan support.
Millwood (4-16) struck out seven and
walked three. Jim Johnson gave up a single
during the eighth before Koji Uehara completed
a three-hitter and picked up his 11th save.
The Rays kept a half-game lead over
second-place New York in the AL East. The
Yankees lost 8-4 at Toronto.
Pie drove in two runs for a 2-0 lead with
a triple off Jeff Niemann (11-8) in the seventh.
Pie’s hit stopped a stretch of 17 consecutive
scoreless innings for the Orioles, who took two
MLB CAPSULES
of three from Tampa Bay.
White Sox 5, Red Sox 2
CHICAGO — Omar Vizquel hit a go-
ahead single in a three-run seventh inning and
Chicago backed Freddy Garcia.
After Vizquel’s hit, the White Sox made
it 4-1 on a throwing error by catcher Victor
Martinez and a single by Alexei Ramirez off
Josh Beckett.
Beckett (6-6) went six innings for the Red
Sox, who were eliminated from postseason con-
tention on Tuesday. He gave up four runs and
11 hits, struck out five and walked four.
Garcia (12-6) lasted into the eighth and
gave up two earned runs and four hits. He gave
up four hits, walked none and struck out one.
Matt Thornton got this eighth save.
Twins 4, Royals 2
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Delmon Young
homered and drove in two runs and Minnesota
snapped a season-long five-game losing
streak.
Young hit his 20th homer with one out
in the seventh on a full-count changeup from
Gil Meche (0-5). His single in the ninth scored
Orlando Hudson, who had doubled, with the
final run.
Matt Capps worked the ninth for his
16th save in 18 opportunities since the Twins
acquired him in a July 29 trade with Pittsburgh.
Royals rookie Kila Ka’aihue hit his eighth
homer of the season, and third in two days,
Danny Valencia had three hits for
Minnesota.
Matt Guerrier (5-7), the second of four
Minnesota pitchers, picked up the victory, strik-
ing out four of the five batters he faced. The
Royals struck out a season-high 15 times.
NL
SAN FRANCISCO — Pat Burrell hit a
three-run homer to back Tim Lincecum, and the
first-place San Francisco Giants remained two
games ahead of San Diego in the NL West with
a 3-1 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on
Wednesday night.
The Padres beat the Chicago Cubs 3-0 at
home. San Francisco lowered its magic number
to three to clinch the club’s first division title and
playoff spot since 2003. The Giants and Padres
close the season with a three-game series at
AT&T Park starting Friday night.
With the Giants trailing 1-0, Burrell con-
nected in the fourth with a drive into the left-field
seats off Ian Kennedy (9-10).
Lincecum (16-10) struck out 11 in seven
innings, the 26th time in his career he’s reached
double digits for strikeouts. It was the seventh
time this year, which matches Milwaukee’s
Yovani Gallardo for most in the NL.
Braves 5, Marlins 1
ATLANTA — The Braves moved closer to
their first playoff berth since 2005, completing
a three-game sweep of Florida behind Derek
Lowe’s fifth win of September and Brooks
Conrad’s three-run homer.
Atlanta (90-69) reached 90 wins for the
15th time in 25 years under the 69-year-old
Cox, who is retiring after the season. The
Braves won 14 straight division titles under Cox
but have missed out on the playoffs for four
straight seasons.
Atlanta closes at home against NL East
champion Philadelphia with a three-game series
starting Friday night.
Pitching on three days’ rest, Lowe (16-12)
gave up one run and seven hits in 5 2-3 innings
and struck out nine. He is 5-0 with a 1.17 ERA
this month with 29 strikeouts and three walks in
30 2-3 innings, and his 16 wins matched Tim
Hudson for the team high.
Dodgers 7, Rockies 6
DENVER — Matt Kemp hit a grand
slam and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the
Colorado Rockies 7-6 Wednesday to complete
a three-game sweep.
A day after eliminating the Rockies from
postseason contention, Los Angeles sent them
to their fourth straight loss.
Colorado went 1-5 on its final homestand,
part of a stretch in which it lost nine of 10 overall.
The Rockies finished 52-29 at Coors Field this
season, but faded in the races for the NL West
and wild card.
Kemp’s slam capped a five-run third inning
against Jhoulys Chacin (9-11).
The Dodgers, who are 78-81, need to
sweep their final series of the season at home
against Arizona to avoid their first losing season
since 2005.
Brewers 8, Mets 7, Game 1; Brewers 3,
Mets 1, Game 2
NEW YORK — Dave Bush pitched three-
hit ball into the seventh inning and hit RBI
single, Ryan Braun hit a two-run double and
the Milwaukee Brewers held on to complete a
doubleheader sweep Wednesday night.
Prince Fielder’s RBI single and Carlos
Gomez’s hustle in the eighth inning of the first
game rallied the Brewers after they squandered
a six-run lead.
Trevor Hoffman pitched the ninth inning of
the second game for his first save since notch-
ing No. 600 on Sept. 7.
After New York tied a franchise record
by using eight pitchers in a nine-inning game
in the opener of the twi-night doubleheader,
knuckleballer R.A. Dickey (11-9) gave up six
hits in seven innings.
In the opener, Gomez helped tie it by walk-
ing, stealing and advancing to third on rookie
catcher Mike Nickeas’ errant throw. He scored
on Corey hart’s tapper off Manny Acosta (3-2)
between the mound and third base to tie it at 7
with two outs in the eighth.
Carlos Villanueva (2-0) pitched an inning
for the win and Brewers closer John Axford,
who gave up the winning hit Tuesday, pitched
the ninth for his 23rd save.
Cardinals 4, Pirates 1
ST. LOUIS — P.J. Walters pitched seven
innings of three-hit ball and Allen Craig hit a
solo homer.
After allowing an infield single to Andrew
McCutchen to start the game, Walters (2-0) set
down the next 14 batters before Ronny Cedeno
led off the sixth with a single to center field.
Walters worked four innings of relief last
Thursday in Pittsburgh, where he allowed five
runs and seven hits. But he was much sharper
in his fourth career start, issuing just one walk
and striking out four while dropping the Pirates
to 16-61 on the road.
Neil Walker drove in the Pirates’ only run
with a sacrifice fly in the ninth.
Astros 2, Reds 0
CINCINNATI — Carlos Lee had three
hits and Nelson Figueroa took advantage of a
Cincinnati lineup missing all of its regulars as
the Houston Astros beat the newly crowned NL
Central champions.
Manager Dusty Baker rested every one of
his starting position players on the day after the
Reds clinched their first division championship
and postseason berth since 1995.
Figueroa (6-4), who had been 0-2 in his
previous three starts, capitalized with 6 2-3
shutout innings.
Fernando Abad pitched a perfect eighth
and Brandon Lyon allowed a single in the ninth
for his 20th save in 22 chances.

Bin Laden evidence readied at detainee trial

By LARRY NEUMEISTER
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Prosecutors plan to give
Osama bin Laden a starring role in the terrorism
trial of the first Guantanamo Bay detainee to be
tried in civilian courts, a test case in the debate over
whether suspects scooped up in the war against
terrorism can be prosecuted like everyone else.
Jury selection began Wednesday when 53
prospective jurors were introduced to the defen-
dant, Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani, who briefly
turned toward the group in his light blue sweater
over a white shirt and a dark tie. He has been
described by federal authorities as a bomb maker,
document forger and former bin Laden aide. He’s
charged with conspiring to kill Americans in the
1998 bombings of two U.S. embassies in Africa.
The attacks killed 224 people, including a dozen
Americans, and were widely viewed as a precur-
sor to the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.
The trial will be closely watched by those
debating the feasibility of civilian trials of high-
profile Guantanamo detainees arrested around
the world. Some were subjected to harsh inter-
rogations at secret CIA-run camps where the
gathering of trial evidence yielded to an immedi-
ate need to unearth terrorism threats.
The government plans to use bin Laden’s
words, including a television interview in which
he said U.S. civilians were targets of his holy war
against the West, as evidence in Ghailani’s trial.
“To establish that the defendant intended to
kill Americans in particular, it is relevant that the
leader of the conspiracy was emphatically and
repeatedly directing his followers to, in fact, kill
Americans,” prosecutors wrote in court papers
last week.
Ghailani was arrested in Pakistan in 2004
in connection with the Tanzania and Kenya
bombings and taken to a secret CIA-run camp
overseas. Though much of the litigation about his
treatment there has been kept secret, the defense
divulged during a pretrial hearing that he was
subjected to enhanced interrogation methods for
14 hours over five days.
In 2006, he was transferred to Guantanamo,
where he remained until he was brought to New
York for trial last year. His lawyers lost efforts to
have the indictment against him dismissed on the
grounds that he was subjected to a lengthy inter-
rogation and detention.
The judge found that the delays served com-
pelling national security interests.
However, the judge warned prosecutors at a
hearing Tuesday that he likely won’t rule before
opening statements on whether prosecutors can
call as a witness a man who says he sold explo-
sives to Ghailani. Prosecutor Michael Farbiarz
said the man might be the government’s most
important witness. He might be excluded from
the trial because he was discovered as a result of
the interrogation of Ghailani.
Ghailani complained about his treatment in
February 2009, writing in a petition that he’d
been deprived of his liberty, denied access to
the outside world and had been “a victim of the
‘cruel enhanced interrogation’ techniques.”
Ghailani has been heavily guarded in court
and kept in solitary confinement in prison.
Concerns about the costs of securing defen-
dants at a courthouse blocks from ground zero
led the Justice Department to reconsider a deci-
sion to try Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh
Mohammed and four other terrorism suspects in
Manhattan.
Prosecutors want to introduce jurors to bin
Laden in opening statements through threats he
made against the U.S. and its citizens between
1996 and 1998. They cite two printed statements
he made to a London-based Arabic-language
newspaper and two television interviews bin
Laden gave to U.S. networks.
The government said bin Laden in 1996
began making anti-American statements meant
to enhance al-Qaida’s terrorist image, communi-
cate its goals to its far-flung members and help it
recruit new supporters.
The link to bin Laden was considered so
strong in the embassy attacks that then-President
Bill Clinton launched cruise missile attacks two
weeks afterward on bin Laden’s Afghan camps.
Bin Laden is charged in the indictment as well.
Prosecutors said the embassy bombings were
carried out by an al-Qaida cell in East Africa.
They said Ghailani fled East Africa on a flight
to Pakistan the day before the bombings on the
same flight that two senior al-Qaida members
fled, including an al-Qaida explosives trainer and
bomb maker.
