The possibility of the

“We are at about number

they are number 240-some-

ies used by the OSFC were
provided from the tobacco

Ohio. Those settlements have
been exhausted and the state
is not in a position to fund
new school construction. I
don’t look for Delphos to be
offered any matching money

Health care costs paid for
by teachers was also a ques-
tion many wanted to dis-
cuss.
“Right now, our teachers
pay about $30 a month for the
coverage and a person with
a family plan has a $5,000
deductible,” Rostorfer said.
“That is part of the nego-
tiated agreement with the
teachers’ union that expires
in the spring and as always,
all items are on the table for
negotiations.”
Several audience members
noted they pay much more
for their insurance and had a
similar deductible.
Another question was why
the district is asking for an
income tax and not a property
tax levy.
“There will still be prop-
erty tax paid to the school,”
Price said. “The State of
Ohio requires the public pay
a floor of 20 effective mills
to fund the schools. No one
is getting out of paying prop-
erty tax for our schools. The
Earned Income Tax is what
we believe a lot of you asked
for when we had discussions.
We also believe it is a more
fair tax, asking those who
are earning a paycheck to
pay.”

Some wore face masks

Ferry Faisal, of the West

He said 338 people are still

Ohio burglary defendant’s

TOLEDO (AP) — An Ohio
judge has tacked an additional
3 years on an aggravated bur-

Marion Township Trustees
The Marion Township
Trustees held their regu-
lar scheduled meeting
on Monday at the Marion
Township Office with the
following members Joseph
Youngpeter, Howard Violet
and Jerry Gilden.
The purpose of the meet-
ing was to pay bills and
conduct ongoing business.
The minutes of the previ-
that will be necessary.
I was under the impres-
sion that the Delphos Ag
program was now admin-
istered and run by the
Vantage Vocational School.
How does that work now
and how will the failure of
the tax levy affect the Ag
program for the 2010 2011
school year?
The vocational satellite
program was put in place to
take advantage of Vantage
being able to run the program
more efficiently by using
resources available to them.
We are again mandated by
law to make vocational edu-
cation available to all dis-
trict resident students, and
though we do not anticipate
the failure effecting the 2010-
11 school year, the extend-
ed time that is extra cost to
the Delphos District may be
looked at in future years.
What are the mandates,
especially the unfunded
ones, that we frequently
hear are the cause for new
expenses? They are given as
items that can’t be reduced
or eliminated. I don’t recall
hearing that problem dis-
cussed in this campaign but
it has been in the past.
The most recent mandates
having impact on our budget
include; increases in amount
of information we have to
report to the state (increased
secretarial support staff and
increase in administrative
hours), increases in curricu-
lum (i.e. economics educa-
tion, anti-bullying programs,
additional core subject areas
needed for graduation), bus

NEGOTIATIONS
What percentage of
pay increase have employ-
ees received in each of the
past 5 years, both in base
pay and experience/step
increases?
From 2007 to 2011 the
union contract has added 3
percent, 3 percent, 2.5 per-
cent, 2.25 percent and 2 per-
cent respectively. There are
18 experience steps in the
salary schedule that get 3.8
percent.
What percentage do the
school teachers and admin-
istrators pay for their health
care policy for this current
school year? What percent
do they pay for the future
contract years?
The teachers are in the
last year of a 3-year con-
tract. They pay a fixed dollar
amount which is currently
$30/month for a family plan
or about 3.25 percent for this
current school year. These
amounts and/or percentages
will be renegotiated in the
upcoming spring.

A 2007 Harvard School of Public Health study found
that children ages eight to 11 living and attending school
in areas of Boston with higher levels of traffic pollutants
scored an average of 3.7 points lower on IQ tests than
children living in less polluted areas. The primary culprit
is smog - ground level pollution comprised of vehicle and
smokestack emissions that can form a dense haze on and
near busy roadways.
From the Editors of E/The

Boehner’s Ohio base
divided over speakership
By DAN SEWELL
The Associated Press
WEST CHESTER — As
Republican John Boehner
gets closer to the prize of U.S.
House speaker, not everyone
back home is convinced about
the value of a new pinnacle
for the local guy who’s been
winning elections for three
decades.
Boehner’s long-standing
support in his western Ohio
district allows the House
minority leader to spend time
away, campaigning for GOP
candidates, as his party tries to
reclaim the House next week
with him in line to become
speaker. But critics warn the
speakership would increase
neglect of his district in favor
of Washington politics.
Boehner also personally
opposes earmarks and pledg-
es to cut federal spending, but
admirers see his increasing
national profile as a boost
for the region’s image and
added clout to look out for its
interests.
“When you have the third-
most powerful person in the
country, it counts for some-
thing,” said Ed Shelton, a
longtime local officehold-
er in Hamilton, north of
Cincinnati.
Catherine Stoker, a town-
ship trustee in suburban West
Chester, countered that. “You

ments and does not repair the
For Obama, politics no laughing matter
By DARLENE
SUPERVILLE
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Obama seemed to suggest
President Barack Obama
apparently thinks politics
is no laughing matter, even
when he’s staring down a
comedian.
Obama barely cracked
any jokes during an appear-
ance Wednesday on “The
Daily Show” despite host Jon
Stewart’s attempts to draw
out the president’s humorous
side with a few of his own
snarky wisecracks.
Less than a week before
the critical Nov. 2 congressio-
nal elections, Obama said he
hopes Democratic lawmakers
who made tough votes will be
rewarded with another term
in office. He promised more
accomplishments in the two
years left on his own term
in the Oval Office and urged
people to vote — early if they
can.
Stewart asked how the
political environment got
to the point that Democrats
“seem to be running on

ALBANY, N.Y. — A
questionable military service
record. An immigrant house-
keeper without a visa. A crim-
inal charge from long ago.
Sexual indiscretions.
Such private issues thought
long buried are the currency
of the secretive and grow-
ing world where campaigns
hire private investigators. PIs
dig up dirt on opponents and,
increasingly, the candidates
who’ve hired them.
“Were they really in the
military? Did they actually
serve in combat? well, maybe
not,” said Randy Torgerson,
a PI and president of the
United States Association
of Professional Investigators
based in Montana. “Some of
the biggest things, as peo-
ple move up the ladder, are
sexual issues ... and then the
embellishments.”

Brent Spence Bridge,” she
said, referring to a deteriorat-
ing Ohio River span connect-
ing Cincinnati to Kentucky.
Since winning his con-
gressional election in 1990,
Boehner, a former state legis-
lator, has been re-elected with
64 to 74 percent of the vote
in the 8th House District of
pleasant suburbs, struggling
industrial cities and rural
stretches north of Cincinnati.
However, billboards have
popped up needling him about
time spent golfing, a daily
newspaper in his home coun-
ty says he should debate in his
district, and his Democratic
opponent in Tuesday’s elec-
tion says he is putting politi-
cal ambitions first.
Shelton, a Republican,
said Boehner was instrumen-
tal in gaining permits and
licensing for Hamilton’s new
hydroelectric plant project,
and local business people say
he has helped navigate inter-
state highway interchange
construction and other key
projects through federal agen-
cies.
“Everything we asked
for, John was there for us,”
said Shelton, a former Butler
County commissioner and
Hamilton city councilman.
Boehner supporters say
he reflects the conservative
views of his constituents
in opposing the policies of

Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

“Are you disappointed in
how it’s gone?” asked the
Comedy Central satirist.
that he wasn’t disappointed.
He said his advisers had told
him during the euphoria of
his 2008 election to “enjoy
this now because two years
from now folks are going to
be frustrated. That is, in fact,
what’s happening.”
He listed as reasons a 9.6
percent unemployment rate,
sinking housing values and an
economy that is growing but
not fast enough. But Obama
said his administration has
also stabilized the economy,
noting it has grown for nine
months in a row. He also
signed major health care and
financial legislation. Obama
suggested that his administra-
tion did so much that “we have
done things that some folks
don’t even know about.”
The comment seemed to
catch Stewart by surprise.
“What have you done that
we don’t know about?” he
asked. “Are you planning a
surprise party for us, filled
with jobs and health care?”
Obama cited legislation
extending health care to more
children and broadening a
national service program as
based on PI work.
Such revelations are some
of the results of dogged
searches into countless court
and municipal records and
probing interviews by PIs,
usually well-connected for-
mer cops. The more races
and closer they are, as in this
year when states like New
York have seen new levels of
personal attacks, the more PIs
get hired.
And although candidates
know what they did, Torgerson
said they also “want to know
what the other people can find
out. That’s what it really boils
down to.”
Michael Corwin has seen
his New Mexico-based pri-
vate investigation business
grow in the last four years,
thanks in large part to political
campaigns. He’s done “self-
investigations” and opposi-
tion investigations on dozens
of statewide, state legislative
and county candidates. He
went from doing little on the
political front a half-decade
ago to turning away some
business now.
Self-investigation by a
candidate can fend off the
“gotcha moment,” said
Corwin, once dubbed “the
governor’s PI” for being hired
to vet New Mexico Gov. Bill
Richardson’s top hires and
major contributors.

nominee, Justin Coussoule,
argues that Boehner isn’t
helping with opposition to the
health care overhaul and fed-
eral stimulus spending that
Coussoule says can benefit
many people in a district with
unemployment that has been
near double digits.
“John Boehner is out run-
ning for speaker and is look-
ing past all of us,” Coussoule
said.
Boehner has campaigned
for dozens of other GOP
candidates nationwide.
The Hamilton JournalNews
recently called on him edi-
torially to come home and
debate Coussoule, saying vot-
ers deserve “the opportunity
to hear him (Boehner).”
Coussoule, 35, a West Point
graduate and former Procter
& Gamble Co. employee, is
generally considered the most
substantial Democratic can-
didate against Boehner since
the Republican won his seat
with 61 percent of the vote.
Coussoule is running televi-
sion ads, makes campaign
appearances throughout the
district and is sweeping it
with direct mail.
Don Popps, a honey farm-
er and General Motors retiree
near Oxford, said he has long
thought Boehner did little
for his district. He has been
impressed with Coussoule, in
part because the Democrat
has yard signs, something
a prior nominee never even
had, Popps said.
examples.
“Over and over again, we
have moved forward an agen-
da that is making a difference
in people’s lives each and
every day,” Obama replied.
“Is it enough? No. And so
I expect, and I think most
Democrats out there expect,
that people want to see more
progress.”
The interview, which
allowed Obama to take his
campaign message to the type
of audience that gets politi-
cal news from programs like
Stewart’s, seemed more
wonkish than slapstick.
Stewart pressed Obama
on the changed political
climate in the country and
questioned him about the new
health care law. The president
defended his record as well as
Democrats, who are expected
to suffer a drubbing at the
polls Tuesday. Obama was
the guest for the entire show.
At one point, though,
when Obama asked to say
something about members of
Congress, Stewart prompted
laughter by asking, “Are you
going to curse?”
Stewart poked at Obama
for saying during the presi-
dential campaign that “we are
the ones we’ve been waiting
for.”
“It’s a great idea because
his campaign can talk to him
about it and say, ‘What was
going on here?’ and that way
they can also be prepared,”
Corwin said.
In New York, one of the
first priorities in the under-
dog campaign for governor
by tea party Republican Carl
Paladino was to hire a private
investigator — to investigate
Paladino.
It paid off. In September,
a reporter called Paladino’s
spokesman, Michael Caputo,
about a tip that a company the
developer ran was hit with
a felony a decade ago for
failure to detect asbestos in
a Syracuse bowling alley he
was renovating.
Caputo immediately dis-
seminated an e-mail video
of Paladino produced long
before explaining the case.
The response included news-
paper articles of the incident
which quoted a federal pros-
ecutor saying Paladino didn’t
have any criminal responsi-
bility.
New York state elections
records show private investiga-
tion firms were hired at least 21
times over the last four years
by individual campaigns and
county parties for more than
$38,000 in fees. Three times
more firms were hired this year
than four years ago.

LIMA — The Fort
Jennings Musketeers’ Boys
Soccer team traveled to Lima
Stadium Wednesday night to
take on the Liberty Benton
Eagles in the District Semi
tournament game.
The Musketeers took
control of the tempo
early in the first half
and maintained the
possession of the ball
for most of the first 40
minutes of play. The
Musketeers battled to
the end of regulation, got a
late goal to send the game
into overtime and from there,
they took care of business and
scored the winning goal with
just under 4 minutes left in the
overtime to take the contest by
a score of 2 to 1, sending them
to the District Finals to face
the Ottoville Big Green.
Both teams had runs in the
first half of action, but neither
capitalized on their good looks
at the back of the nets. The
Musketeers took 3 shots on
goal in the first half of action,
while the Eagles only man-
aged to get two shots on target
in the early going.
The Eagles came out of the
half ready to go and started
to take back the momentum
the Musketeers captured in
the first half. LB fired two
shots that were right at the
goal in the first 10 minutes
of the second half of play,
but Musketeers’ Goalie Tyler
Good made two great diving
saves to keep the Eagles off
the scoreboard and kept the
ball game tied at zero.
Naliborski was in the right place
at the right time on the cross
and sent a shot that went off
the crossbar and got by Good to
give the Eagles the 1 to 0 lead.
However, the Musketeers
did not give up. Within 10 sec-
onds, the Musketeers worked
the ball into Eagles territory
and got a penalty call that gave
them a direct kick 15
yards from the goal post.
Andrew Louth took the
direct kick and sent a
shot flying towards the
goal that went off the
keepers’ hands and right
down to the feet of Brad
Trentman. Trentman sent
a shot flying past the Eagles
keeper to tie things up 1 to 1
with just over two minutes left
in regulation.
Jennings Head coach Bill
Romes thought his team played
very hard Wednesday night.
“I think that these guys
really stepped up tonight under
pressure and they knew exact-
ly what they had to do to get
back into the game their late
and they never gave up and
got the job done. This was an
awesome game tonight and I
thought that both teams played
very well and both deserved to
be here tonight,” Romes said.
Neither team found the
back of the net in the final
two minutes of the second half
and the game headed into a 15
minute overtime, first to score
wins.
The play went back and
forth in the first overtime and
the Eagles looked like they
were controlling the posses-
sion of the OT. However, the
Musketeers battled and stuck
in there to the end of the game
and got a late shot at the goal
have nothing left to play for
in the 2010 gridiron season
but pride.
And bragging rights.
The two teams hook up
in their annual season-ending
backyard battle in Northwest
Conference acftion Friday at
Stadium Park.
The Wildcats
enter at 4-5, 4-3 in
the NWC, while the
Bearcats are 0-9 (0-7
NWC).
Both Jefferson
coach Bub Lindeman
and Bearcat coun-
terpart John Zerbe
FOOTBALL
agree on the impor-
tance of this game.
“It is a backyard
rivalry and no matter what
the records are, both teams
are going to be ready to play.
This game has been this way
as long as I can remember and
our kids know all about it,”
Lindeman noted. “You throw
out the records in this game.
Both are looking for a way to
send their seniros out well —
for us, it’s a great group of 15
seniors and they know what’s
at stake. They have led us this
week in practice and we will
be ready.”
The Jefferson offense,
with averages of 16.6 points
and 225.4 yards per game
(119.2 rushing) — 4.3 yards
per play — bring the likes

But the numbers don’t lie.
He’s in his 18th full season,
is 38 years old, has just one
win over the last three sea-
sons and is mired in a career
worst 61-race drought. And,
after starting the year strong
and establishing himself as a
title contender, he’s fizzled in
the Chase for the Sprint Cup
championship.
With just four races remain-
But Gordon is realistic.
He’s accepted all year that
his No. 24 team wasn’t running
at the same level as teammate
Jimmie Johnson, Denny Hamlin
and Kevin Harvick, who cur-
rently rank first through third in
the standings. His only shot, he
figured, was to be consistently
good over the final 10 races.
Based on how he’d run ear-
lier this year, it didn’t seem to
be a stretch.
“I don’t know if we really
have been strong enough to be
there outperforming the (oth-
ers),” he said. “I think our key to

ish to this season.
He knows Talladega is up
for grabs, and he could get his
seventh career win there this
Sunday. Then comes Texas,
where he’s been strong since
grabbing his first career vic-
tory there last year. He was in
contention for the victory at
Phoenix this spring, and he’s
not terrible at Homestead.
“I am looking forward to
ending out the season and
hopefully we can do it on a
positive note,” Gordon said.

The largest gathering of FFA
members, recently took place, and
twenty-one Delphos FFA members
were part of it. Over 55,000 mem-
bers gathered for the National FFA
Convention which was held Oct.
20-23 in Indianapolis, Ind. The pur-
pose of this convention is to gather
FFA members from across the nation
to celebrate the achievements that
have been made of the past year,
broaden the horizons of members by
exposing them to new places, and
motivate them to continue to reach
their goals.
Delphos FFA members boarded
a charter bus on Wednesday morning
with the Paulding and Wayne Trace
FFA chapters. The first stop was Not
Just Popcorn, a processing factory of
308 different types of flavored pop-
corn. They were able to witness the
various steps in the production of the
different types and flavors of popcorn
produced by the factory. The group
also traveled to Buck Creek Winery
to see how wine is produced from the
vineyard to the bottle.
They attended their first leader-
ship session that evening which was
highlighted by Josh Ship as he shared
a motivational experience. That eve-
ning, members headed to Lucas Oil
Stadium for the Lady Antebellum
Concert.
Thursday was another busy day
for the members; they started their
morning by attending a CYO camp
were they did team building and high
rope activities and even completed
a community service project for the
camp by clearing a ditch bank of
Asian Honeysuckle that had over-
taken the creek. That evening, the
members enjoyed the annual Buckeye
Bash attended by over 2,500 members
from Ohio FFA Chapters. On Friday
morning, they attended a convention
session and were inspired by motiva-
tional speaker Kevin Carroll.
The Delphos FFA was also rec-
ognized as a 3-star National Chapter,
the highest ranking a chapter can
earn at the national level. The state-
winning Farm Business Management
team also competed at the convention
against 49 other FFA chapters from
the United States and placed 21st out
of 50 teams. Dulton Moore placed
52nd, Cory Osting placed 54th and
Dean Renner placed 72nd out of 200
individuals and the team earned a
silver rating.
Members were entertained that
evening by attending a rodeo The
American Degree Session was the

Man charged in fake bomb plot against DC subway

By ALICIA A. CALDWELL
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — A Pakistani-born
Virginia man was arrested Wednesday and
accused of casing Washington-area subway
stations in what he thought was an al-Qaida
plot to bomb and kill commuters.
The bombing plot was a ruse conducted
over the past six months, the FBI said, but
34-year-old Farooque Ahmed readily handed
over video of northern Virginia subway sta-
tions, suggested using rolling suitcases rather
than backpacks to kill as many people as
possible and offered to donate money to al-
Qaida’s cause overseas.
The public never was in danger because
FBI agents were aware of Ahmed’s activities
and monitored him throughout, the agency
said. And the people that Ahmed thought
were al-Qaida operatives were actually indi-
viduals who worked on behalf of the govern-
ment, according to a federal law enforcement
official who requested anonymity to discuss
details of the case.
Ahmed was indicted under seal by a federal
grand jury in Alexandria, Va. on Tuesday, and
the charges were made public Wednesday. He
is accused of attempting to provide material
support to a designated terrorist organization,
collecting information to assist in planning
a terrorist attack on a transit facility, and
attempting to provide material support to
carry out multiple bombings to cause mass
casualties. Ahmed, a naturalized citizen, lives
in Ashburn, Va., outside Washington.
During a brief court appearance in federal
court in Alexandria, Ahmed did not enter a
plea and was ordered held without bond. He
told U.S. Magistrate Judge John Anderson he
couldn’t afford to hire a lawyer. Prosecutors
said they planned to use some classified infor-
mation as evidence in the case.
U.S. Attorney Neil MacBride said in a
statement that it was “chilling that a man
from Ashburn is accused of casing rail sta-
tions with the goal of killing as many Metro
riders as possible through simultaneous bomb
attacks.”
Ahmed’s arrest comes as the U.S. has been
struggling with an uptick in Americans plot-
ting terrorist attacks in the past 18 months.
Last week, a Hawaii man was arrested and
accused of making false statements to the
FBI about his plans to attend terrorist training
in Pakistan. In August, a Virginia man was
caught trying to leave the country to fight
with an al-Qaida-affiliated group in Somalia.
And in May, Faisal Shazhad, a naturalized
citizen also from Pakistan, tried to set off a
car bomb at a bustling street corner in New
York City. U.S. authorities had no intelli-
gence about Shahzad’s plot until the smoking
car turned up in Manhattan.
The FBI has made several cases with agents
working undercover: Last year, authorities
arrested a Jordanian national after he tried
to detonate what he thought was a bomb
outside a Dallas skyscraper. In an unrelated
case, authorities in Springfield, Ill., arrested a
man after he tried to set off what he thought
were explosives in a van outside a federal
courthouse. In both cases, decoy devices were
provided to the men by FBI agents posing as
al-Qaida operatives.
Federal investigators said that, starting
in April, Ahmed met several times with
people he believed were al-Qaida operatives.
During one of those meetings, investigators
said, he agreed to watch and photograph a
hotel in Washington and a subway station in
Arlington, Va. He also was accused of record-
ing video of an Arlington subway station on
four occasions, and agreeing to get security
information about two stations.
According to the indictment:
—Ahmed took video of four northern
Virginia subway stations — Arlington
Cemetery, Courthouse, Pentagon City and
Crystal City, which is near the Pentagon
— and monitored security at a hotel in the
District of Columbia. In a series of meetings
at hotels in northern Virginia, Ahmed provid-
ed the videos to someone he believed was part
of a terrorist organization and said he wanted
to donate $10,000 to help the overseas fight
and collect donations in a way that would not
raise red flags.
—In a Sept. 28 meeting in a Herndon,
Va. hotel, Ahmed also suggested that terror
operatives use rolling suitcases to blow up
the subway instead of backpacks. During that
same meeting Ahmed said he wanted to kill
as many military personnel as possible and
suggested an additional attack on a Crystal
City subway station.
The indictment alleges he also handed
over diagrams of the Arlington subway sta-
tions and gave suggestions about where to put
explosives on trains to kill the most people in
simultaneous attacks planned for 2011.
At the White House, press secretary Robert
Gibbs said President Barack Obama was
aware of the investigation before Ahmed was
arrested. Gibbs also offered assurances that
the public was never in danger.

Storm leaves damage

By MITCH WEISS
The Associated Press
VALE, N.C. — People
from the Dakotas to North
Carolina were dealing with
the aftermath of a massive
storm that roared across the
country, unleashing dozens
of tornadoes, rain, flooding
and eventually snow to some
places, leaving behind plenty
of destruction.
Heavy snow and strong
winds battered the Dakotas
for a second day Wednesday,
with visibility reduced by
blowing snow and roadways
covered by ice, snow and
slush.
“It’s not good to be out
here for anybody,” Highway
Patrol Capt. Eric Pederson
said. “It’s just tough going
anywhere.”
Conditions were improv-
ing early today and fall-like
weather was expected to
return later this week, as the
front that brought the wild
“She wants to save it for
an art project or something,”
Todd Miller told the Chicago
Sun-Times. “She’s a bit of a
free spirit, so I ran with it.”
Eight tornadoes touched
down in Indiana, three in
Kentucky, and six in Ohio,
including one with gusts of
at least 111 mph that ripped
through a village in the north-
west part of the state, destroy-
ing several homes. Tornadoes
were confirmed or suspected
as far east as Virginia and
power was out for a time to
countless customers.
Pat Tanner, a hydrologist
with the National Weather
Service in Greer, S.C., said
a cold front is moving east
and meeting warm, moist

Ohio State Highway Patrol Trooper J.J. McCain and Inspectors Tina Eley and Al Joseph visited Franklin Elementary
recently and talked to students about bus safety. This year’s Bus Safety Week theme is “Be Aware — Know the Danger
Zone.” Students learned the 10 basic rules of bus safety: Be on time; never run to or from a school bus; stand back from
the curb; don’t push or shove; stay in the seats; don’t yell or shout; always obey the bus driver; wait for the driver’s
signal before crossing; always cross at least 10 feet in front of the bus; and never crawl under a school bus. Students
were also taught the danger zones around school buses, rear door evacuation, emergency practices for situations and
emergency window demonstrations.

through the roof.
The family huddled in a
back bedroom, whispering
prayers, crying and holding
each other. Somehow, they
survived.
“We thought we were
going to die. We were just
so scared. We didn’t have
time to do anything. We
all just listened and prayed
for our lives,” Jessica
Vargas, Corona’s 18-year-
old granddaughter, recalled
Wednesday, looking at the
family’s possessions, which
had been strewn around their
muddy yard the night before.
No one was seriously hurt,
but now the family must find
somewhere to live.
The rare, fast-moving
storm that destroyed their

on Tuesday, moving into the
southern and eastern U.S.
In suburban Chicago,
Helen Miller, 41, was hurt

feet from a large tree, crashed
into her car and impaled her

In North Carolina, at least
11 people were hurt by the
winds that destroyed Corona’s
home, but none seriously.
“We just thank God
that everyone is safe,” said
Corona, who had some cuts
on her leg.
Nearby, Douvhen Hanby
was in his backyard when
he saw the fast-moving fun-
nel cloud head toward his
house. He scrambled inside
and yelled for his wife and
four children to “hit the floor”
in the living room. Seconds
later, the house began shak-
ing.
When the winds died down
about two minutes later, the
family — and their home
— were more or less fine.
Hanby ran to the next door
to a neighbor’s mobile home,
which had been shredded.
He dug through the rubble
with his hands, looking for
the woman and four children.
He found them curled up in
a ball under some pieces of
tin.
“They were scared, shak-
ing. Then when it hit them
they were alive, they started
crying,” he said.
clarify rare earth exports across most US cities
By MATTHEW LEE

HONOLULU — Secretary
of State Hillary Rodham
Clinton on Wednesday called
on China to clarify its policy
on the export of exotic met-
als key to the global high-
tech industry.
Opening a two-week Asia-
Pacific tour aimed at cement-
ing ties with allies who are
wary of Beijing’s increasing
assertiveness, Clinton took
on a primary point of friction
between China and Japan.
She said recent Chinese
restrictions on the sale of
rare earth minerals served
as a “wake-up call” for the
industrialized world, includ-
ing the United States and
Europe, which has largely
abandoned their production
in favor of cheaper exports
from China.
“I would welcome any
clarification of their policy

producing high-tech devices
such as cell phones, missiles
and solar energy panels.
China produces 97 percent
of the world’s supply, some-
thing Maehara said “was not
appropriate.” Even if the cur-
rent situation is resolved, he
said it was critical to diver-
sify the production of rare
earths.
“This served as a wake-up
call (about) being so depen-
dent on only one source,”
Clinton said, calling rare
earths both “commercially
and strategically” essential.
“The entire world has to
seek additional supplies in
order to protect the important
production needs that these
materials serve.”

LOS ANGELES — The
foreclosure crisis intensified
across a majority of large
U.S. metropolitan areas this
summer, with Chicago and
Seattle — cities outside of
the states that have shoul-
dered the worst of the hous-
ing downturn — seeing a
sharp increase in foreclosure
warnings.
California, Nevada,
Florida and Arizona remain
the nation’s foreclosure
hotbeds, accounting for 19
of the top 20 metropolitan
areas with the highest fore-
closure rates between July
and September, foreclosure

foreclosure activity.
“The epidemic is spread-
ing from the states at the
ground zero of the foreclo-
sure problems out into areas
that hadn’t been previously
affected,” said Rick Sharga,
a senior vice president at
RealtyTrac.
The trend is the latest sign
that the nation’s foreclosure
crisis is worsening as hom-
eowners facing high unem-
ployment, slow job growth
and uncertainty about home
prices continue to fall behind
on their mortgage payments.
In all, 133 out of 206 met-
ropolitan areas with at least
200,000 residents posted an
annual increase in foreclosure
activity in the three months
ended Sept. 30, RealtyTrac
said.

Army study seeks best suicide

prevention programs
By DAN ELLIOTT
The Associated Press
DENVER — Military med-
ical researchers say their efforts
to reverse the rising number of
suicides among servicemem-
bers are based on “good ideas,”
but they don’t know which
prevention programs work and
which don’t. They launched a
$17 million study Wednesday
to find out.
None of the current train-
ing programs is evidence-
based, said Army Col. Carl
Castro, director of the Military
Operational Medicine Research
Program at Fort Detrick, Md.
“It’s good ideas — experts
think that this is what we need
to do — but we do not have
any evidence that that training
actually in fact prevents sui-
cide,” he said.
The new three-year proj-
ect, funded by the Army, will
develop a network of research-
ers to study multiple aspects
of suicide, look at the work of
other studies and then compile
a database so other research-
ers and people running suicide-
prevention programs can see
what is effective.
More than 1,100 U.S. service-
men and women killed them-
selves between 2005 and 2009.
In July 2009, the Army
announced a $50 million study
of suicide and mental health
involving about 500,000 ser-
vice members and four other
research institutions. That is
separate from this initiative,
which will be directed by
the Veterans Affairs Medical
Center in Denver and Florida
State University.
“We know we’re not going
to solve the suicide problem in
the military with this three-year
research consortium,” Castro
said. “But what we hope to do
at the end of this three years is
to lay a very solid foundation
on which other research can
be built.”
and hope that it means trade
and commerce around these
important materials will con-
tinue unabated and without
any interference,” she said at
a news conference after meet-
ing with Japanese Foreign
Minister Seiji Maehara in
Honolulu.
China responded today
that it “will not use rare
earths as a bargaining tool.”
At a news conference
in Beijing, Zhu Hongren, a
spokesman for the Ministry
of Industry and Information
Technology, said, “Rather,
on the basis of cooperation,
development and a win-win
outcome, we will have coop-
eration with other countries
in the use of rare earths,
because it is a nonrenewable
energy resource.”
Zhu did not answer a
reporter’s question about
when normal rare earths
exports would resume.
Clinton and Maehara both
said China’s stifling of the
supply meant the internation-
al community would have to
look for other sources of rare
Tokyo’s arrest of a Chinese
fishing boat captain near
disputed islands in the East
China Sea.
Many see China’s action
as indicative of its grow-
ing aggressiveness in deal-
ing with such disputes. Some
nations are seeking reassur-
ance from the U.S., the tra-
ditional dominant power in
the Pacific Rim, that it will
remain a major player.
Clinton vowed that the
United States remains com-
mitted to regional stabil-
ity and the security of allies
like Japan. She is to meet
Saturday on China’s Hainan
Island with Chinese State
Councilor Dai Bingguo and
said she intended to raise
the rare earths issue, among
other matters of concern.
She said a satisfactory
