Patriots, Vikings
discussing Moss
trade
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) —
The New England Patriots
and Vikings are discuss-
ing a trade that would
bring star receiver Randy
Moss back to Minnesota.
A league source spoke to
The Associated Press about
the discussions on condition
of anonymity on Tuesday
night because he was not
authorized to speak publicly
about the negotiations.
The seven-time Pro
Bowler was a first-round
draft pick of the Vikings
in 1998 and spent his first
seven seasons in the NFL
with Minnesota. He was
traded to Oakland in 2005,
where he languished for two
years before being revital-
ized in New England.
Moss set an NFL record
with 23 touchdown recep-
tions in 2007. But he has said
several times this year that he
expected 2010 to be his last
season with the Patriots. He
did not have a catch in New
England’s 41-14 victory over
Miami on Monday night.
Moss caught 98 passes
for 1,493 yards in his first
season with New England
in 2007. He had 69 catches
for 1,008 yards and 11 TDs
in 2008, when Tom Brady
suffered a season-ending
knee injury early in the
year and came back with
83 catches for 1,264 yards
and 13 scores last season.
A Patriots spokesman said
no trade has been completed.

3,000th home
For The Delphos Herald
OTTAWA — Monday
was a day of many milestones
for Habitat for Humanity.
The Jeremy Bishop family
and Putnam County are not
only the proud owners of the
3,000th Habitat for Humanity

dedication on World Habitat

“third-party” groups are rep-

ballots on Nov. 2. This is one

stories on those parties but

or campaign in question.
BY MIKE FORD
mford@delphosherald.com
One of the “third par-
ties” to appear on the bal-
lot in Van Wert County is
the Green Party. It’s guber-
natorial nominee, Dennis
Spisak, describes the basics
of what his party believes
about certain progressive
values:
“A Green Party gov-
ernment does what Ohio’s
future requires and what the
public sector cannot do-or
is not doing-effectively,
ethically, or not at all. It is
the job of the government
to promote, and, if possible,
provide protection, greater
democracy, more freedom,
a cleaner environment,
broader prosperity, better
health and the building and
maintaining of public infra-
structure,” he said.
“For the most vulnerable
in Ohio, the Green Party
has a duty to do two things:
minimize their pain and
maximize their gain. On
good days, we do not leave
anyone out. On bad days,
we do not leave anyone
behind.

simple affordable, energy
efficient homes. Miller also
stated that every time people
partner with Habitat it trans-
forms an entire community.
“Noah’s ark was built
by volunteers whereas the
Titanic was built by profes-
sionals,” commented Miller.
The home was built
“green” according to Green
Building Specialist Holly
Todd.
“Everyone did a wonder-
ful job and the family will
be thrilled with low energy
bills,” said Todd.
Building “green” is more
than just using recycled mate-
rials; it’s about using energy-
efficient materials to keep
utilities bills low.
Ohioans, we want them to
prosper, and we want them
to be treated fairly. There is
no fulfillment without free-
dom, no freedom without
opportunity, and no oppor-
tunity without prosperity.
This is the principle that
the Green Party of Ohio is
running on in this year’s
election.”
Spisak said his party
holds to principles it
believes the Democrats
have abandoned:
“On the economy, we’re
centered on innovation
that creates good-paying
jobs and provides every
Ohioan a fair opportuni-
ty to prosper. On health,
we believe every Ohioan
should have access to a
state-of-the art, affordable
health care system: a sin-
gle-Payer Universal Health
Care System. On educa-
tion, we want a vibrant,
well-funded and expanding
public education system
with the highest standards
for every child and school.
We also support early-
childhood education. On
the environment, we want
a clean, healthy and safe
environment for ourselves
and our children: water you
can drink and air you can
breathe. We want polluters
to pay for the damage they
cause. On energy, we need
to make a major investment
in renewable energy for the
jobs it will create, indepen-
dence from Middle Eastern
oil, improvements in public
health, preservation of the
environment and the effort

equal rights, we support
equal rights in every area
involving race, ethnicity,
gender, and sexual orienta-
tion. On protections: We

ers, workers, retirees, and

Hungary sludge flood ‘ecological disaster’

KOLONTAR, Hungary —
Emergency workers and con-
struction crews are sweeping
through the Hungarian town
hardest hit by a flood of toxic
sludge, trying to clear roads
and homes of the deep red
mud and caustic water.
Kolontar mayor Karoly
Tily says today he cannot

of Monday’s calamity, when
1 million cubic meters (35.3

Clearing public ‘fog’
about mental illness
BY MIKE FORD
mford@delphosherald.com
Many who suffer from
mental illness do so in silence;
hiding from widespread myths
created by misinformation
and misunderstanding.
To clear matters, the
National Alliance on Mental
Illness is celebrating Oct. 3-9
as Mental Illness Awareness
Week. Dorothy Gleckler is
the outreach chairperson of
the organization’s chapter
in Van Wert, Mercer and
Paulding counties. She says
there is a stigma associated
with mental illness that works
as a barrier.
“Unfortunately due to
the stigma and misunder-
standing of these illnesses,
many families fail to seek
help and receive proper treat-
ment. Many times treatment
is delayed and it is incorrect-
ly diagnosed as a ‘behavior
problem.’ The most common
are clinical depression, bipo-
lar disorder, schizophrenia,
schizoffective disorder, OCD,
anxiety/panic disorders, post
traumatic stress, eating dis-
orders, borderline personality
disorder, etc. The earlier a
diagnosis is made and treat-
ment began, the better the
results,” she said.
According to Gleckler,
there is confusion between
mental illness and other intel-
lectual issues.
“Mental illness is caused
by a chemical imbalance in
the brain, which is the most
complicated organ in the
human body. Whereas, mental
retardation is caused by com-
plications during pregnancy
or delivery or the mother
being ill during pregnancy or
an injury to the brain. Those
bridge across a toxic stream
so residents can briefly return
to their homes and rescue
belongings.
Hungary has declared a
state of emergency due to the
flood. At least four people
have died, three are missing
and 120 have been injured.
The lethal torrent of toxic
red sludge from a metal
refinery engulfed towns in
Hungary, burning villag-
ers through their clothes and
threatening an ecological
disaster Tuesday as it swept
toward the Danube River.
The flood of caustic red
mud triggered a state of
emergency declaration by
Hungarian officials. At least
four people were killed, six
were missing and 120 injured,
many with burns.
Hundreds were evacuated

kinds of things cause mental
retardation but mental illness
is related to chemicals in the
brain,” she said. People with
mental illness react differ-
ently to things. For example,
a lot of them can’t keep a
job. They think their employ-
er doesn’t like them or they
think their co-workers are all
making fun of them. They feel
belittled and you can’t always
tell them apart from others. If
they’re under treatment and
the treatment is working for
them, you would never know
they have mental illness.”
She said most of those
who are incarcerated suffer
from mental illness, as well as
many who are homeless. She
said mental illness is more
common than one may think
and patients often deliberately
go off their medications.
“Mental illness, just like
many disorders, is a long-
term illness that must be care-
fully managed throughout a
persons life. Many patients go
off their medications, dislike
the side affects or ‘think now
that I am better, I don’t need
the meds any more. The same
thing happens with other ill-
nesses. With the proper treat-
ment, homeless people with
mental illness can live within
the community, work and pay
taxes,” she said.

Cause of death determined
in murder case
By ED GEBERT
Times Bulletin
One of the few details in the
death of a Van Wert woman
has been released from Van
Wert County Coroner Scott
W. Jarvis.
In a release, Jarvis not
only called the death of
Edna L. LaRue a homi-
cide but also reported
that the death was due
to ligature strangula-
tion. Jarvis cautioned,
“Please note that this is
merely the manner and
mode of death and says
nothing of the guilt or
innocence of any sus-
pects.”

Tuesday as she surveyed her
backyard, still under 6 feet of
noxious muck.
“I lost all my chickens, my
ducks, my Rottweiler, and my

were in the shed and it’s all

who gets by on a $350 month-
ly pension. “I have a win-

basement and it’s all useless

Emergency workers wear-
ing masks and chemical pro-
tection gear rushed to pour
1,000 tons of plaster into the
Marcal River in an attempt
to bind the sludge and keep it
from flowing on to the Danube
some 45 miles away. Nearby,
desperate villagers waded
through the toxic mud trying
to salvage possessions with
little more than rubber gloves

Ohio solar farm
to bring clean
energy and jobs
COLUMBUS (AP) —
Gov. Ted Strickland says a
solar farm expected to bring
up to 600 jobs is being built
on a former strip mine adja-
cent to a wildlife conservancy
in southeast Ohio.
Spanish manufacturers
Prius Energy S.L. and Isofoton
plan to employ 300 to make
the nearly 240,000 solar pan-
els needed to outfit the 49.9
megawatt farm, dubbed the
Turning Point Solar project.
Another 300 temporary
construction jobs are expect-
ed.
American Electric Power
Inc. has agreed to purchase
power from the facility for 20
years to help fulfill state mini-
mums for renewable energy.
Strickland was scheduled
to join AEP CEO Michael
Morris at a Tuesday signing
ceremony with the project’s
developers, New Harvest
Ventures and Agile Energy.
The site is next to the near-
ly 10,000-acre conservancy
known as The Wilds.

removing infected trees.
Urbana is about 40 miles
west of Columbus.

— Newly released cam-

Republican John Kasich
raised about $480,000 more
in contributions last month
than Democratic Gov. Ted
Strickland.
Kasich reported rais-
ing almost $2.1 million in
Tuesday’s filings, compared
with Strickland’s $1.6 mil-
lion. Some recent polls have
shown that Kasich’s lead over
Strickland is tightening.
The report did not include

Postal worker
put knife to

MONROE (AP) — A post
office employee in southwest
Ohio has been charged with
assault and aggravated men-
acing after authorities say he
put a knife to the throat of a
customer.
The U.S. Postal Service
says the worker has been sus-
pended without pay pending
investigation.
Monroe police say Seann
Taulbee called Saturday after-
noon about two men trying
to get into the back of the
post office. He said he felt in
danger.
Police say he pulled a knife
on 61-year-old Tin-jor Wong.
The Middletown Journal
reports that Wong and his
father-in-law were trying to
inform someone that an out-
side mail box was full.
Taulbee remains free after
a preliminary court appear-
ance. A phone listing for him

The rinse cycle on the
Jousting promoted at Ohio
Renaissance Festival
By LAUREN BISHOP
The Cincinnati Enquirer
HARVEYSBURG (AP)
— On a sunny, early fall
about 45 miles northeast of
Cincinnati, a crowd of some
2,000 people has gathered
around a fenced-in dirt area of
the 30-acre Ohio Renaissance
Festival grounds.
Gnawing on 1-pound
roasted turkey legs or drink-
ing from plastic cups, they
gaze up at two large men sit-
ting on even larger draft hors-
es, facing each other from
opposite ends of a 180-foot-
long stretch. Each is wearing
full armor and wielding an
11-foot lance made of solid
Douglas fir.
“Do you want to see two
grown men hit each other
with big sticks?” shouts Jason
Armstrong, the armored
knight serving as emcee
for the show, from atop his
horse.
The crowd roars approval.
Thus begins the full-
armored, full-contact,
unstaged sport of jousting,
whose top players are betting
that many more people are
interested in watching grown
men (and some women) hit
each other with big sticks.
They believe that jousting
is poised to become the next
big extreme sport, capable of
attracting sponsors and tele-
vision coverage not unlike
mixed martial arts, thanks in
part to a wave of interest
created by a July New York
Times Magazine article.
Harveysburg could be
the center of it all, thanks to
Shane Adams. The 40-year-
old Canadian is the reign-
ing international jousting
champion and a driving force
behind the movement to
launch jousting to national
prominence. He now makes
his home in Harveysburg.
The road to Harveysburg
began in Acton, Ontario, a
small town about an hour west
of Toronto. Adams grew up
on a horse farm there, dream-
ing of becoming a knight ever
since he first watched a Robin
Hood movie with his grand-
mother.
He realized his dream could
become a reality when, at 16,
he visited the Medieval Times
dinner theater in Orlando. At
23, he left his full-time con-
struction job when he was
hired as a knight at Medieval
Times in Toronto, in part
because he looked the part:
He stands 6-feet-4, has a long

M a r i l y n
(Wagner) German
remembered how
they would play
trick on each other and dad.
Once they put a regular egg
in dad’s lunch instead of the
hard-boiled that he always
had. You can guess the out-
come on that prank! Another
time, Tommy Wrocklage
was showing dad a trick on
coordination. Dad had to
put a funnel inside his belt
buckle then Tommy had him
put his head pack and place
beard and a mane of wavy
red hair almost as long as his
horse’s. But the novelty of
being a knight wore off.
“After three years, I finally
came to the realization that
I wasn’t really living my
childhood dream,” he says.
“Instead of being a knight in
shining armor, I was a knight
in shining polyester and tin-
sel.”
So Adams left Medieval
Times to create his own
Medieval-themed traveling
road show, acquiring some
light draft horses and a 150-
pound suit of armor to stage
choreographed jousts.
In 1997, a promoter
contacted him to represent
Canada in the first interna-
tional jousting championships
at the Longs Peak Scottish-
Irish Highlands Festival in
Estes Park, Colo., which this
year offered a $50,000 purse.
Adams has been the grand
champion there four years
running.
He had never competed
in an un-choreographed joust,
but Adams left Estes Park
with four broken ribs, a bro-
ken hand, a broken wrist and
the world championship belt.
He says the English team told
him they believed he had
been “reincarnated” from a
previous life as a medieval
jouster.
“They realized that it
wasn’t just a fluke, that I had
some innate natural ability to
be able to hit somebody with
a stick,” he says. “Hello, I’m
Canadian! That’s all we got
to hit people with.”
Of course, there’s much
more to full-contact joust-
ing than hitting somebody
with a stick. Jousters must
be skilled equestrians with a
keen sense of aim and timing
and unafraid to hit and be hit
at 20 to 25 miles per hour.
Assessed by a panel of
judges as they make four
passes, jousters receive one
point for a strike to a metal
chest plate called a grand
guard; five points for a bro-
ken lance, and 10 points for
the ultimate goal: Unhorsing
an opponent.
“This is jousting. You’re
going to get hurt. It’s just
a matter of when and how
bad,” says Adams, whose has
jousted at various times with
a fractured scapula, hand and

As for medical treatment

Ohio man who killed lover
over ATM card set to die
By JULIE CARR SMYTH
The Associated Press
COLUMBUS (AP) — A
man who bludgeoned his girl-
friend to death, threw her body
in a river and stole her ATM
card to buy crack cocaine was
denied clemency by Gov. Ted
Strickland on Tuesday, a day
ahead of the condemned man’s
execution.
Michael Benge’s lethal
injection today would be the
eighth in 2010, breaking the
state’s record of the most peo-
ple executed in a year since
Ohio resumed capital punish-
ment in 1999.
The Ohio Parole Board
recommended against mercy
for the 49-year-old Benge of
Hamilton in southwest Ohio
in the 1993 murder of Judith
Gabbard. A spokeswoman for
the public defender’s office
said Benge has no more legal
appeals.
Benge was moved
Tuesday to the Southern
Ohio Correctional Facility in
Lucasville, prisons spokes-
woman Julie Walburn said. He
was upbeat and spent much of
the day on the phone and vis-
ited in person with his daughter
and son, mother, sisters and
other relatives, she said. His
special meal request included
a large chef salad, barbecue
baby back ribs, two cans of
salted cashews and two bottles
of iced tea.
Benge and Gabbard had
been out at the Riverview bar
on Jan. 31, 1993. They both
drank and he smoked crack
outside.
After five hours, they left
and went down to the west side
of the Miami River, Benge said
to talk.
Stories differ on what hap-
pened next.
Benge said he lifted her
ATM card while they were
at the bar and Gabbard dis-

plunger to pull the glass up
and free the ball.
Finally, she said when she
started, they were explaining
how they made certain things
and Tommy told her they
used their armpits to make
the hamburger patties and she
would not want to know how
they made the doughnuts.
Actually, it seems like
many of the ornery stories we
heard has some tie to Tommy
Wrocklage.
Marilyn’s husband Bob
remembers that they would
ask for volunteers to help
paint the restaurant about
once a year. After closing
time on Saturday night and
after about 5-6 hours and a
number of beverages (maybe
cases), the painting would be
done.
He also said they used
the Chew Chew as an auxil-
iary study hall to “study” and
once in a while, Father Herr
would come down to check
on everyone.
He said on weekends, that
was the place to go after the
cigarettes. Prosecutors argued
Benge took her to the river
with the intent of stealing the
card, noting one of the pockets
in Gabbard’s jacket was found
empty and turned inside out
after the murder.
In either case, Benge’s
theft of the card heightened
an already escalating conflict
between the two over his drug
use.
He had stolen and pawned
a pair of her gold earrings and
tried to take her TV and VCR
to sell for drug money, accord-
ing to a statement in the clem-
ency report by her sister Kathy
Johnson. As his drug use grew,
their relationship turned vio-
lent, Johnson told parole offi-
cials.
“Judy lived in fear for
weeks before her death. She
told me she missed our cookout
because he had hit her. She had
a black eye. She didn’t want us
to know,” said Johnson, one
of Gabbard’s eight siblings.
“She missed Thanksgiving and
Christmas also. She said he
had been hitting her.”
The night of the murder,
Benge said Gabbard slapped
him. He snapped.
Gabbard may have fled
from the car to avoid his blows
or he may have pushed her out
onto the ground. Benge then
picked up a tire iron and beat
her repeatedly in the head. He
weighted her body with con-
crete and slid it into the river,
leaving her car stuck in the
bloodstained mud.
Benge swam across the river
and found his way to his friend
John Fuller’s house, where he
confessed to the crime. He told
Fuller’s girlfriend, Awantha
Shields, that he intended to tell
police “a couple of black guys
jumped him and his girlfriend
and beat his girlfriend up.”
He later gave the ATM
card to Larry Carter and Baron
Carr, who were black, and

tors said was intended to frame
them for the murder. The three
withdrew a total of $400 from
Gabbard’s account for Benge’s
drug purchases.
When he was apprehended
by police, Benge dropped the
card to the ground.
Benge was convicted in a
jury trial of aggravated murder
and aggravated robbery and
found guilty of gross abuse of
a corpse.
In seeking mercy, his law-
yers said Benge was physical-
ly abused by a stepfather and
stepbrother and began abusing
substances when he was 11 —
first alcohol, then marijuana,
and eventually cocaine. They
said he has a brain impairment
as a result.
His mother, Juanita Babb,
told the parole board she failed
to provide her son love and
affection and didn’t do enough
to protect him from abuse. She
said she felt responsible for
some of his problems.
His former wife, Peggy
Ferneding, his two children,
and two sisters all said the
violence was uncharacteris-
tic of Benge before he began
using crack. They described
him as an active member of
the family who helped advise
his children to pursue careers
in the military and cared for
his mother.
Prosecutors said the con-
flicting stories that Benge
told authorities, including at
his parole hearing, prove he
is not mentally impaired. “He
concocted a lengthy, articulate
story, which suggests that his
executive functioning was not
impaired,” according to the
clemency report.
Gabbard’s son, Steve, asked
the parole board not to spare
Benge. He described his moth-
er’s cheerful personality and
her pride in earning her GED
diploma. He said he’s overpro-
tective of his wife and daugh-
ter as a result of his mother’s
murder.

Bank bailout supporters
struggling for re-election
By TOM RAUM
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The
government’s giant bank bail-
out may well have averted
a second Great Depression,
economists say, but a lot
of voters aren’t buying it.
Support for the program is
turning into a kiss of death for
many in Congress.
Longtime Republican law-
makers — tarred by their votes
for the emergency aid to banks,
insurance and auto companies
— have been sent packing
in primaries. Fresh politi-
cal attack ads are lambasting
candidates from both parties
for supporting the $700 bil-
lion package that Republican
President George W. Bush
pushed through Congress at
the height of the financial cri-
sis in October 2008.
The actual cost to taxpay-
ers will be far less than the
original price tag, perhaps
totaling $50 billion or less.
But it’s been difficult for law-
makers to make the case that
they saved the nation from
possible financial ruin — as
some economists suggest. It’s
far easier for opponents, espe-
cially in political soundbites,
to portray the issue as Wall
Street fat cats against ordi-
nary Main Street folks in the
final-weeks cacophony of the
campaign.
President Barack Obama
and congressional Democrats,
now in charge, have taken heat
for a program that many vot-
ers see as proof that the rich
guys were bailed out while the
public wasn’t. Indeed, both
parties are on the attack.
Some recent examples:

An Associated Press-GfK
poll shows whites without

made significant gains in
the House and Senate. The
poll, conducted last month,
found this group favoring
GOP hopefuls 58 percent to
36 percent — a whopping 22
percentage-point gap.
In 2008, when Obama won
the presidency, they favored
GOP congressional candi-
dates by 11 percentage points,
according to exit polls of vot-
ers. When Democrats won the
House and Senate in 2006,
the Republican edge was 9
percentage points.

supported the package have
already been cast aside; Sen.
Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and
Rep. Mike Castle of Delaware
class whites tend to be older
and more conservative —
groups that traditionally lean
with the young president’s
activist governing. Their
wariness is reinforced by a
prolonged economic funk that
has disproportionately hurt
the working class and shown
scant signs of improvement
under Obama and Congress’
majority Democrats.
Though accustomed to
trailing among working-class
whites, Democrats can hardly
afford further erosion from a
group that accounts for about
4 in 10 voters nationally. Their
GOP preference is in contrast
to whites with college degrees,
who the AP-GfK Poll shows
are split evenly between the
two parties’ candidates, and
to minorities, who decisively
back Democrats.
Many of these working-
class voters were dubbed
Reagan Democrats in the
1980s, when some in the North
and Midwest who had pre-
viously preferred Democrats
began supporting conserva-
tive Republicans. Many never
warmed to Obama during the
2008 presidential race, when
he said some bitter small-
will respond to the letter.
Representatives for Holder
and Walsh declined to com-
ment.
The action represents the
strongest push to date for fed-
eral regulators to intervene
in a growing problem in the
nation’s foreclosure process.
To date, state attorneys gen-
eral have taken the lead on
the issue.
Three banks have halted
foreclosures in 23 states after
evidence surfaced that their
employees or outside lawyers
signed documents without
reading them or filed inac-
curate paperwork. Numerous
state and federal officials
have been ramping up pres-
sure on the mortgage industry
over concerns about potential
legal violations.
“I want to know how deep
this problem goes and what
safeguards are now in place
to prevent unjustified rubber-
stamp foreclosures from hap-
pening in the future,” Sen.
Robert Menendez, D.-N.J.,
wrote Tuesday to the three
major lenders that have halt-
ed thousands of foreclosures
— JPMorgan Chase, Bank of
www.delphosherald.com
were defeated in GOP prima-
ries. Republican Sen. Robert
Bennett of Utah was rejected
at a GOP convention, where
fellow Republicans taunted
him with chants of “TARP,
TARP.”
And Democratic Sen.
Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas
came close to losing the
Democratic nomination for
re-election in part because of
her support for the bailout.
She was among the 67
senators who voted for TARP
in 2008.
Candidates, particularly
those with ties to the tea party
movement, have railed against
what they see as a “bailout
nation.”
TARP officially ended on
Sunday when the government
lost its authority to tap remain-
ing funds. However, it is still
possible for the Treasury to
add to any program that was
in place as of last June 25.
Despite the political venom,
the program has turned out
to be far less expensive than
the original $700 billion price
tag.
As of Sept. 30, the govern-
ment has spent $388 billion
of the $700 billion, and $204
billion of that has been repaid,
the Treasury Department said
Tuesday in a “Two-Year
Retrospective” of the pro-
gram.
Furthermore, the govern-
ment has received about $30
billion in interest, dividends
and stock sales.
Thus, taxpayers right now
are on the hook for about
$154 billion. But that doesn’t
include future income and
gains from stocks and other
assets still held by the govern-
ment from aid recipients.
town residents cling to guns
and religion for solace. They
preferred Hillary Rodham
Clinton, his rival for the
Democratic nomination, by
2-1 and in the general election
backed Republican nominee
John McCain by 18 points.
“They try to make every-
body think the economy is
better, and it isn’t,” Jennifer
Moore, 40, a school bus driv-
er from Amherst, Va., said of
Democrats. “Gas prices are
going up, food is going up
and people working for the
minimum wage can’t make
it.”
In the AP-GfK poll, work-
ing-class whites were likelier
than white college graduates
to say their families are suf-
fering financially and to have
a relative who’s recently lost
a job. They are less optimistic
about the country’s econo-
my and their own situations,
gloomier about the nation’s
overall direction and more
critical of how Democrats are
handling the economy.
“Democrats are more
apt to mess with the middle
class and take our money,”
said Lawrence Ramsey, 56,
a warehouse manager in
Winston-Salem, N.C.
America and Ally Financial.
Menendez, who leads a
Senate subcommittee that
oversees housing issues, also
sent similar letters to more
than 100 other companies.
Along with Sen. Al
Franken, D-Minn., Menendez
also requested that Congress’
investigative arm, the
Government Accountability
Office, examine whether fed-
eral regulators overlooked
problems at mortgage compa-
nies. They asked the GAO to
recommend whether federal
regulatory agencies should
have more authority.
Sen. Jeff Merkley,
D-Ore., has urged the
Treasury Department and the
Department of Housing and
Urban Development to launch
their own investigations.
On Tuesday,
Massachusetts Attorney
General Martha Coakley
called on the same three lend-
ers — plus Wells Fargo &
Co. — to halt foreclosures.
That state is not affected by
the three banks’ foreclosure
freeze because it does not
require judges to approve
foreclosures.

LANDMARK Readers put thorn in bank’s side
BY KEVIN WILLIAMS
The Amish Cook col-
umn will soon celebrate two
decades. But to make it to this
milestone, I first had to get
rid of a millstone. Six months
ago I wrote about a battle
Gomer United Church of with a bank that was threaten-
Christ ing to take The Amish Cook
column down with it. Here
is the story’s conclusion and
CALENDAR OF how you can help make sure
it never repeats itself:

Blackberry and stuck in the
web of the internet, I still
wonder about where my life
would be if I had chosen the
Amish? Would I be happier?
Spiritually richer? I found
some answers last week when
I spent the day with a seeker
in rural Logan County, Ohio.
While I couldn’t join, I
became a seeker by proxy. I
reasoned I could do the next
best thing and keep a fasci-
nating culture and religion in
my life and bring it to others.
So, 20 years ago
I set in search of
an Amish colum-
nist. The journey
to The Amish
Cook’s door

can be done now.

is what led them
- after a two year
stalemate - to ulti-
mately settle and I
am very grateful.
The terms were
Draconian, but I accepted.
The bank also demanded that
I cease all public discussion
for six months. That order is
now over, so I’m free to talk.
Yes, my house was saved, but
it was never just about my
roof. It really wasn’t. I could
have stomached losing my
home, but I couldn’t stomach
my parents losing theirs in
my pursuit of what is still
an unfulfilled dream. And
while the dream has been
dinged and dented, it’s still
alive, a talisman to a time
when life was simpler and
slower.
I’ve talked about the ori-
gins of the Amish Cook col-
umn in countless interviews
and in our books. But what
I’ve rarely said publicly is that
the Amish Cook story really
begins before I met Elizabeth
Coblentz in 1991. The path
first took me
first through the
smoke-colored,
hardscrabble
hills of beautiful
Adams County,
Ohio and story-
book towns out-
side Mansfield,
never dreaming the column
would one day appear in the
very places I was explor-
ing. I tell the whole story of
this journey in an upcoming
memoir called, appropriately,
“Not So Simple.” (There is an
excerpt in the “Kitchen Sink
Book“, but Not So Simple‘s
release is a couple of years
away).
As I get older, I realize the
limits on the time we all have
to make a difference and that
weighs on me. My new seeker
friend in rural Ohio and I dis-
cussed our separate journeys
as we gently toured the coun-
tryside on his open horse-

mine, but for what purpose?

Lady Lancers sweep Bearcats on the road
By JIM METCALFE

SPENCERVILLE — The
volleyball tournament draw
is Sunday, so that leaves little
times for teams to get on a
roll before the second season
begins.
Lincolnview and
Spencerville played a
back-and-forth match
Tuesday night on the
Spencerville home
court, with the vis-
iting Lady Lancers
grabbing a 25-19,
25-23, 25-14 Northwest
Conference sweep.
The first set was one where
neither team could really get
rolling with a big run; the
Lancers (7-9, 2-6 NWC)
seemed to have more little
ones. The biggest lead they
had was 21-14 on a kill off
the block by senior Courtney
Tunis. That gave the visitors
the impetus to grab the set on
a well-placed hit by Tunis on
set point.
The second set was close
the entire way as neither

Earlham knocks
off Beavers
BLUFFTON — Earlham
College knocked off host
Bluffton University 4-1 in
men’s soccer action Tuesday
at Bluffton.
Ameer Yusuf scored a pair
of goals and Alex Ferreira
and Evan Elko one each for
Earlham.
Dylan Mathews scored the
team could build more than
a 4-point lead. Both teams
dug well — senior Calista
Dowdy led the visitors with
24 (11/11 serving, 1 ace) ver-
sus 13 digs by senior Devan
Hanjora (4 aces) — and both
struggled to consistently put
kills down. It took a last 3-0
run by the Lancers: a kill by
freshman Ashley
McClure (12-of-
16 hitting, 6 kills),
a hitting error by
the Lady Bearcats
(2-15, 0-7 NWC)
and a kill off the
block by junior
Carley Springer; to go up
2-0.
“We have been focusing a
lot on our digging; you can-
not run a consistent offense
without it. They were hurting
us with their cross-court hit-
ting, so we made that adjust-
ment and that got us going,”
Lincolnview coach Heather
Byrne said. “We also wanted
to play under control; it’s
easy for us to get out of con-
trol when we’re diving all
over the place.”
Bearcat coach Meghan
Beavers’ only goal.
Jorge Villagran assisted
Yusuf at 53:15 to put Earlham
up but Mathews retaliated at
59:16.
However, Bannet Asingura
fed Ferreira for the goal at
59:39 to put the visitors up
2-1.
Elko hooked up with
Yusuf at 85:11 and Asingura
did the same with Elko at
85:58 for the final tally.
Brian Good had 11 saves
against 30 Earlham shots,
while Jonah Kreniske gar-
nered zero saves against four
BU shots.

Kenton upends
Wapak in girls soccer
WAPAKONETA — The
Kenton girls soccer team
picked up their first Western
Buckeye League win on
Mohr was very impressed
with Hanjora.
“She has been digging
great. She is around 13 away
from our season record for
digs, so she could get it in our
next match,” Mohr explained.
“We have struggled in a lot of
areas but hitting has been our
most troublesome spot. We
can’t consistently:
one match we’re
amazing, the next
we’re OK. Our
digging was amaz-
ing and we need
our hitting to be
that way, too.”
The third set started out
the same way as its predeces-
sor — a seesaw affair. That
is, until 12-11, Lincolnview.
The Lancers used the work
of Springer at the net — and
some hitting miscues by the
hosts — to pull away. When
McClure put down a clean
spike attempt on match point,
the Blue and Yellow finished
the sweep.
Senior Audrey Bowen
(16/17 hitting, 12 kills;
6 blocks), senior Paige
McClure (68-of-68 setting,
Tuesday night when they
knocked off Wapakoneta at
Ryan Field. In an evenly-
played match, the Wildcats
got a goal from Terrill Webb
just two minutes into the sec-
ond half and made it hold up
for the 1-0 win.
Kenton coach Mark
Schwemer was extremely
pleased with the team’s effort:
“We played our best game as
a team so far this year. Our
spacing was tremendous, we
defended aggressively and
each of the girls filled their
roles perfectly. This win has
been in the works for a long
time and I couldn’t be hap-
pier for our Seniors and the
team as a whole.”
Kenton’s record improves
to 5-8-1 on the season and
1-5-1 in the WBL. Wapak
is now 5-8-0 on the season
and 2-6-0 in the league. The
22 assists) and sophomore
Jodie Doner (10-of-12 serv-
ing, 2 aces) further aided the
Lady Lancer cause.
“Our goal was to force
them into mistakes,” Byrne
added. “We wanted to play
a solid all-around match and
make them earn their points.
Plus, our setter, Paige, did a
nice job of mixing
up our hitters so we
had a lot of 1-on-1
attacks.”
Topping the hosts
were senior Brittany
Kill (5 kills; 3 aces),
junior Taylor Elchert
(6 kills) and senior Ashley
Hook (15 assists).
“There are times I wonder
if we really understand what
I’m trying to implement on
offense and defense in my
first season,” Mohr added.
“Then there are other times
where these girls show me
they get it all. It’s all new to
them, so I understand the first
and we’re starting to see more
and more of the second.”
Spencerville is at Paulding
and Lincolnview hosts Allen
East Thursday.
Wildcats will next be in
action on Tuesday when they
host state-ranked St. Marys
for a 7 p.m. start time.

FBI says stripper, drugs, Man convicted in deadly home invasion

guns and judge don’t mix
By GREG BLUESTEIN
The Associated Press
ATLANTA — A 67-year-old federal judge’s
wild relationship with a stripper started with a lap
dance, prosecutors said, and quickly escalated
into escapades of prostitution and gun-toting drug
deals for cocaine and prescription pills.
Senior Judge Jack T. Camp, a veteran jurist
who had achieved a status that allowed him a
lighter caseload, now finds himself in a peculiar
position, in front of one of his peers, and with
lawyers combing through his decisions, wondering
whether they have grounds to challenge them.
“I don’t know whether the allegations are true
or whether they infected the decision making, but
it’s incumbent upon me to raise these issues,” said
Gerry Weber, a civil rights attorney.
Camp, a Vietnam War veteran who was
appointed by Ronald Reagan, built a reputation
for handing out stiff sentences, including for drug
convictions. He could face years behind bars on
drug and gun charges. The judge’s attorney has
said he intends to plead not guilty.
The stripper, who previously had a felony
drug trafficking conviction, had been secretly
working with the FBI since the spring to build a
case against the judge. In exchange, prosecutors
pledged not to charge her.
Camp’s relationship with the dancer, who was
not identified in court documents, began earlier
this year. A day after receiving his first dance,
he returned to the Goldrush Showbar for more
dances, and added sex and cocaine to his tab,
authorities said.
Over the next few months, the two used
cocaine and other drugs together, sometimes at
the strip club, and the judge would pay $40 to
$50 to join her getting high, according to a sworn
statement.
In June, the judge followed the stripper to a

M. Jodi Rell cited the case
when she vetoed a bill that
would have abolished the
death penalty.
The girls’ father and the
lone survivor, Dr. William
Petit, appeared to stifle tears
as the verdict was read. His
head down, he sucked in his
bottom lip.
“There is some relief but
my family is still gone,” Petit
said afterward, his father and
other relatives clutching him.
“It doesn’t bring them back. It
doesn’t bring back the house
that we had.”
Hayes showed no emotion
as he stood for the verdict,
which triggers the trial’s sec-
ond phase, beginning Oct. 18,
in which the same jurors will
decide if Hayes should be
executed.
Petit said he hoped the
jurors would use “the same
diligence and clarity of
thought” as they consider the
sentence.
Hayes’ defense conceded
most of the evidence on the
trial’s first day, but his attor-
neys blamed his co-defen-
dant, Joshua Komisarjevsky,
for escalating the violence
at every critical point, start-
ing with William Petit’s beat-
ing. Prosecutors rejected that
argument, saying the two men
were equally responsible for
the crime.
Komisarjevsky faces trial
next year and also could be
sentenced to death.
Hayes’ jury heard eight
days of gruesome testimony
and deliberated for five hours
over two days.
He was convicted of 16
counts, including six capital
felony charges, three murder
counts and two charges of
sexually assaulting Hawke-
Petit. The capital offenses
were for killing two or more
people, the killing of a per-
son under 16, murder in the
course of a sexual assault and
three counts of intentionally
causing a death during a kid-
napping.
During the penalty phase,
which is expected to last up
to a month, Hayes’ attorneys
will try to persuade the jurors
to spare him the death pen-
alty. They argued during the
trial that prosecutors failed to
prove Hayes intended to kill
the girls.
Attorneys not involved in
the case said Hayes’ lawyers
will have difficulty showing
mitigating factors that would
favor prison over execution.
“If there was ever to be a
hue and cry for the applica-
tion of the death penalty, this
case is it,” said defense attor-
ney Bruce Koffsky.
Another defense law-
yer, Hugh Keefe, said: “I’ve
never seen a case where the
evidence is so egregious. Not
even his mother loved him.”
Prosecutors have said the
crime was especially cruel
and depraved.
Komisarjevsky spotted the
mother and her two daughters
at a supermarket, followed
them to their home, then
returned later with Hayes,
authorities say.
During the trial, authori-
ties showed text messages
between the men hours before
the crime in which Hayes told
Komisarjevsky that he was
“chomping at the bit to get
started.”

Today’s joke:
A woman was sit-
ting at a bar enjoying an
after-work cocktail with
her girlfriends when an
exceptionally tall, hand-
some, extremely sexy
young man entered. He
was so striking that the
woman could not take her
eyes away from him. The
young man noticed her
overly attentive stare and
walked directly toward
her. Before she could
offer her apologies for
being so rude for star-
ing, the young man said
to her, “I’ll do anything,
absolutely anything, that
you want me to do, no
matter how kinky, for
$100, on one condition.”
Flabbergasted, the
woman asked what the
condition was.
The young man replied,
“You have to tell me what
you want me to do in just
three words.”
The woman consid-
ered his proposition for
a moment, withdrew from
her purse and slowly
counted out five $20 bills,
which she pressed into
the young man’s hand
along with her address.
She looked deeply into his
eyes and slowly, mean-
ingfully said, “Clean my
house.”
