Hurricane Irene marks1st big US threat in years

By CURT ANDERSONThe Associated Press

MIAMI Emergencyofficials from Florida tothe Carolinas were closelywatching Irene today as thefirst hurricane to seriouslythreaten the U.S. in threeyears churned over energiz-ing tropical waters. The storm

has already cut a destructivepath through the Caribbean.Forecasters say the hur-

ricane could grow to a mon-strous Category 4 storm withwinds of more than 131 mphbefore its predicted to comeashore this weekend on theU.S. mainland. The U.S.National Hurricane Centerin Miami expected Irene toreach Category 3 strengthtoday, said spokesman DennisFeltgen.

Officials could begin issu-ing watches for parts of theU.S. mainland later in theday. Because the storm isso large, Florida could begin

feeling some effects from thestorm late Wednesday.Current government mod-

els have the storms outerbands sweeping Florida latethis week before it takes aimat the Carolinas this week-end, though forecasters cau-tion that predictions madedays in advance can be off byhundreds of miles. Georgia isalso likely to be affected.

The last hurricane to makelandfall in the U.S. was Ike,which pounded Texas in2008.

For now, the first Atlantichurricane of the season hadmaximum sustained winds

early today around 100 mph(160 kph) and was centeredabout 55 miles (90 kilome-ters) northeast of Puerto Platain the Dominican Republic.The hurricane was movingwest-northwest near 10 mph(17 kph).

For residents in statesthat may be affected later thisweek, its critical that youtake this storm seriously,said Craig Fugate, administra-tor at the Federal EmergencyManagement Agency.

Emergency officials in

North Carolina were check-ing pre-landfall operationsto make sure equipment suchas trucks, forklifts, generatorsand computers were working,said Ernie Seneca, spokes-man for the state Departmentof Crime Control and PublicSafety. Also, they were tak-ing inventory of food andwater supplies.

To the south in Miami,Julio Gonzalez was heedingthe warnings and headed toa hardware store to pick upwhat he needed to protect hishome.

By DIAA HADIDThe Associated Press

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip A budding middle class inthe impoverished Gaza Stripis flaunting its wealth, sippingcoffee at gleaming new cafes,shopping for shoes at the newtiny shopping malls, and fuel-ing perhaps the most acrimo-nious grass roots resentmentyet toward the ruling Hamasmovement.

This middle class, which hasbecome visible at the same timeas a mini-construction boom inthis blockaded territory, is cele-brating its weddings in opulent

halls and vacationing in newlybuilt beach bungalows. Thatlevel of consumption may bemodest by Western standards,but its in startling contrast tothe grinding poverty of mostGazans, who rely on U.N. foodhandouts to get by.

Some of the well-off areHamas loyalists. That ranklesmany Gaza residents becausethe conservative Islamic move-ment gained popularity bytending to the poor throughcharitable aid, education andmedical care along with itsarmed struggle against Israel.

Hamas has become richat the expense of the people,

fumed a 22-year-old seam-stress, Nisrine, as she stitcheddecorative applique onto adress. She wouldnt discloseher family name, not wantingto be seen criticizing the mili-tant group.

Gazas Hamas governmentdenies its loyalists have gottenwealthy since the group cameto power.

Corruption doesnt touchus, said Hamas official YusefRizka.

But others even thoseclose to Hamas say the mili-tant group must pay attention.

There is a nouveau richethat has followed the rise ofthe government, said AlaaAraj, a former Gaza economicminister and businessman con-sidered close to Hamas. Wemust sound the alarm, he said.(Resentment) is growing inGaza.

Gaza residents are alsoresentful because they feel theyhave suffered the worst effectsof the Israeli and Egyptianblockade that was slapped onthe territory when the mili-tant group seized power in2007. The blockade was afailed attempt to crush Hamas;instead it impoverished alreadypoor Gazans, killed off tradeand effectively imprisoned res-

idents inside the territory.Some two-thirds of Gazas1.6 million people live in pov-erty and rely on U.N. food aid.About half the work force isunemployed. Many employedGazans are paid miserly wages,keeping them struggling.

They include the seamstressNisrine, who is paid $5 a day,money that her family keeps.Baker Sami Awad, 27, earns$9 a day to support his fivesiblings and his sisters twochildren. Their father aban-doned them years ago; his sis-ters husband was killed in anIsraeli incursion. Their storiesare typical.

Hamas has always had asmall core of prominent-ly wealthy loyalists. But itappears another small grouphas seen its fortunes rise sincethe Hamas came to power,primarily investors and high-level civil servants in Gazas24,000-strong bureaucracy.

The territory also has anestablished middle class of oldmerchant families, senior aidofficials and loyalists of Fatah,a Palestinian group that rivalsHamas. But theres less resent-ment toward them perhapsbecause they are not in power.

The new signs of prosperityare due to a mini-constructionboom that can be traced back toIsraels easing of the blockadeit imposed on Gaza in 2007.

To circumvent the block-ade, Palestinians built hun-dreds of underground tunnelscrisscrossing the Gaza-Egyptborder to bring in scarce con-sumer goods, as well as weap-ons. But after Israel started let-ting in more consumer goodsa year ago, tunnels were freedup to bring in materials thatremained severely restricted such as raw constructionmaterials.

The prices of raw materialsdropped, sparking a flurry ofconstruction.

Ohio jury deliberates caseof girls 1967 killing

By JOHN SEEWERThe Associated Press

TOLEDO Jurors began deliberat-ing Monday in the case of a man accused

of killing an Ohio girl who disappearedon her way home from school in 1967and was found a few weeks later with anail in her head in a Michigan field.

Investigators think Robert Bowman,now 75, snatched the girl after shegot off a bus in Toledo, held her cap-tive in his basement for days and thenkilled her after his wife found the naked14-year-old tied up but alive in theirfruit cellar.

I know this stuff is unpleasant, butits also necessary, assistant LucasCounty prosecutor Tim Braun told

jurors during closing arguments.The jurors ended deliberations

Monday night without reaching a ver-dict and resumed deliberating today.

Bowman was in the constructionbusiness at the time of the crime. He

later became a successful businessmanbefore disappearing into a life on thestreets in Florida and California. Hefaces life in prison if hes convicted ofkilling Eileen Adams, a high schoolfreshman. Prosecutors said she wasstrangled or died from a blow to thehead that cracked her skull.

Bowman, whose white beard andthinning hair show his age, has satquietly through the trial, occasionallytalking with his attorneys.

Detectives first tried to link Bowmanto the slaying in the early 1980s, butthey didnt have enough evidence tobring charges until a cold case squadreopened the investigation five yearsago. New DNA evidence, they said,connected Bowman with the killing, andpolice arrested him near Palm Springs,

Calif., in 2008.Two former analysts from the statecrime lab testified during the trial thatsemen found on Adams thermal under-wear pointed to Bowman. Bowmansformer wife, a key witness for the pros-ecution, testified that she saw the girl

alive after she disappeared just beforeChristmas 1967.

Margaret Bowman said she thoughtshe heard rats in the cellar, opened awooden door and saw a girl with her

arms outstretched and bound, hanginglike Jesus.She said she ran upstairs and her

husband confronted her, saying he nowhad to kill the girl. He also threatened tokill his wife and their newborn daughterif she told anyone, she said.

That night, she testified, Bowmanmade her go with him as he dumpedthe body just north of Toledo, across thestate line in Michigan.

Defense attorney Peter Rost triedon Monday to cast doubt on MargaretBowmans account. He said that shewaited 14 years to tell her story to policeand that she stayed with Bowman for11 years and moved with him to threedifferent states before leaving when hisbusiness failed.

Even after she went to detectives in

1981, they still didnt charge Bowman,he said.They didnt believe her enough,

he said.He also said prosecutors couldnt

say where or when the girl died and thatthe DNA evidence doesnt conclusivelypoint to Bowman, who didnt testifyduring his trial. His attorneys called onewitness, an assistant director of a pri-vate lab that tested evidence for DNAbut was not able to find any links toBowman.

The case comes down to, do youbelieve what Margaret Bowman testi-fied, said assistant prosecutor ChrisAnderson.

He once owned a company that soldhigh-end handbags in Neiman Marcusand Saks Fifth Avenue stores, but detec-

tives found him in 1982 living in anabandoned restaurant near Miami.Inside the building, there were sever-

al dolls two with nails driven in theirheads, detectives said. They talked withhim about the girls death but didntcharge him.

According to the Tax Foundation, it took the

Irene(Continued from page 1)

Im gonna board up, hesaid Monday. Its best toplay it safe.

Others were stocking upon bottled water and plywood.And Hurricane Irene was trend-ing on Twitter, with many users

sharing updates on the stormsprogress while others hoped itwouldnt come their way.

We want to make sureFloridians are paying atten-tion, said Bryan Koon, direc-tor of the Florida Divisionof Emergency Management,who met Monday with thegovernor. We are at theheight of the hurricane seasonright now. If its not HurricaneIrene, it could be the follow-up storm that impacts us.

After several extremelyactive years, Florida has notbeen struck by a hurricanesince Wilma raked across thestates south in October 2005.That storm was responsiblefor at least five deaths in the

state and came two monthsafter Hurricane Katrina dev-astated New Orleans.

Irene slashed directlyacross Puerto Rico, tearingup trees and knocking outpower to more than a millionpeople. It then headed out tosea, north of the Dominican

Republic, where the power-ful storms outer bands werebuffeting the north coastwith dangerous sea surge anddownpours. President BarackObama declared an emergen-cy for Puerto Rico, making iteligible for federal help.

Irene was forecast to passover or near the Turks andCaicos Islands and the south-eastern Bahamas by tonightand be near the centralBahamas early Wednesday.

In the U.K. territory of theTurks and Caicos, a steadystream of customers boughtplywood and nails at hard-ware stores, while othersreadied storm shutters andemergency kits at home.

Glitches leave

Ohio Medicaid

providers unpaidCOLUMBUS (AP)

Hundreds of Ohio nursesand other health care pro-viders say they cant paytheir own health insuranceand other bills becauseof problems with a stateMedicaid computer sys-tem.

The Columbus Dispatchreported today that 450mostly self-employed pro-viders of Medicaid serviceshave not been paid by thestate for nearly five weeks.The Department of Job andFamily Services is rush-ing them the equivalent oftwo weekly paychecks thisweek while the glitches are

worked out.The state changed to a

new Medicaid billing sys-tem earlier this month. Allpayments were suspendedfor two weeks during thetransition. Then, the newsystem rejected claims sub-mitted by some health careproviders.

Department spokesmanBen Johnson says mostMedicaid providers havebeen unaffected.

Students protestaid tie-up amid

faculty disputeYOUNGSTOWN (AP)

Some Youngstown StateUniversity students havestaged a protest at a schoolwhere financial aid moneyis locked up by a facultycontract dispute.

The university says it hasbeen instructed by federalofficials not to distributestudent aid and scholarshipfunds because of uncer-tainty over the start of fallclasses.

The Vindicator news-paper reports the term isscheduled to begin nextweek, but the faculty unionhas given notice that itsmembers could be on strikeif no deal is reached byFriday.

About 30 studentsheld posters during a sit-in at Youngstown Statesadministration buildingon Monday. Protest orga-nizers say the goal was toshow that students are pay-ing attention and want fairnegotiations and an end towhat they called the finan-cial aid freeze.

Moderately confused

One Year Ago Meghan Dunlap of Delphos FFA won first place in Classes

One and Four in the Junior Fair Born and Raised in the AllenCounty Market Steer judging at the Allen County Fair. HerClass One steer was the Grand Champion and her Class Foursteer also took third place overall.

25 Years Ago 1986 A county fair is not complete without corn husking compe-

tition. Edgar Schwieterman of Delphos placed third at the AllenCounty Fair, husking 13 ears of corn, five ears behind return-ing champion Max McClure, who husked 18. Placing four wasJohn Grone, who husked 10 ears.

Members of the team that won the Tri-County LittleLeague and Fourth of July tournament 15-2 were Tobby Tippie,Aaron Elwer, Clark Gable, Andrew Cano, Terry Trentman, DonBaumgarte, Scott R. Elwer, Scott Warnecke, Eric Birkmeier,Eric Schimmoeller, Chad McGue, Scott M. Elwer, LennyHubert, mark Birkmeier, Tom Stevenson and Tony Baldauf.

The University of Dayton awarded degrees at its summerdiploma exercises. Area students receiving degrees were BruceMarshall of Elida, a master of science in school counseling, andKathie Laird of Elida, a master of science in social agenciescounseling. Robert Niemeyer of Spencerville received a masterof science in educational administration.

50 Years Ago 1961 Virginia Osting of Delphos was crowned Junior Fair Queen

at the Junior Fair Revue of the Allen County Fair Sunday. Theprogram was staged in front of the grandstand before an esti-mated crowd of 1,600. Gary Staley, junior fair king, placed thecrown on Ostings head. She is a 1961 graduate of St. JohnsHigh School and will enter Mount St. Joseph College as a fresh-man this fall.

Our Home Town was the theme for the CloverdaleGarden Clubs annual flower show which drew 121 entriesin the artistic and horticulture divisions. Mrs. E. L. Staup ofDelphos, an accredited judge with the O.A.G.C., judged theexhibits staged at the Town Hall on Aug. 16.

Committee heads report that all is in readiness for theannual picnic and homecoming to be sponsored by the DelphosVolunteer Firemen at Water Works Park on August 27. Thisannual event is always well attended not only by many peoplein Delphos but also by many former local and area residentswho regard it as an opportunity to renew acquaintances.

75 Years Ago 1936 Word was received Saturday afternoon by Arthur O.

Wulfhorst, secretary of the Delphos Fair Board, that Gov.Martin L. Davey will attend the fair Thursday. Gov. Davey wasexpected to arrive in Delphos about 1 p.m. and would give ashort address.

The Waterworks Park girls track team took first placeFriday afternoon in the Allen County Junior Olympics heldat the Horace Mann playground at Lima. In the Midget divi-sion Lucile Rupert, Norma Murray, Betty Becker and PaulineSchwinnen ran the 100-yard relay in 16 seconds flat. The oldrecord made in 1933 was 17.4.

The Delphos Recreation tennis tournament is nearing

completion. In the Open division John DeWeese and Dr. R.D. Brown are matched to play in the semi-finals of the upperbracket. Dr. Brown defeated Jerome Schmit Friday night toplace in the semi-finals.

WASHINGTON (AP) The number of Americans atrisk of foreclosure is rising,reflecting the U.S. economyscontinued struggles.

The Mortgage BankersAssociation said Monday that8.44 percent of homeownersmissed at least one mortgagepayment in the April-Junequarter. That figure, which isadjusted for seasonal factors,rose 0.12 percentage pointfrom the January-March peri-od.

In a normal market, thepercentage of delinquent bor-

rowers is about 1.1 percent,according to the trade group.

Delinquent mortgages haveplummeted from a record highof more than 10 percent ofresidential mortgages a yearago. But the decline is duepartly to delays in foreclosurefilings that are backlogged inseveral state courts, includingFlorida, New Jersey, Illinoisand New York.

The end of a state and fed-eral investigation into faultyforeclosure paperwork willlikely lead to increased fore-closures later this year.

Analysts say the increase isespecially worrisome becauseits due mainly to high unem-ployment, which tends to raisethe number of missed pay-ments and foreclosures overtime. And once delayed fore-closures are re-started, theeconomy could suffer a hit.

The current process-ing delays mean this will nothappen quickly, underliningour view that both the hous-ing market and the economywill remain weak for a fewyears, said Paul Dales, seniorU.S. economist at CapitalEconomics.

The quarterly survey coversnearly 88 percent of primaryresidential mortgages totalingnearly 44 million loans.

WASHINGTON Thedramatic advance of Libyanrebels over the forces of long-time strongman MoammarGadhafi offers vindication, atleast for now, for PresidentBarack Obamas decisionto refrain from using U.S.troops on Libyan soil and tolet NATO take the lead indegrading Gadhafis militarypower. But there are still haz-ards for the White House.

How the country movesfrom turmoil to stabilitypresents a new challenge for

Obama and could determinehow the public views notonly his foreign policy, but insome measure the economyas well.

Yet, the news for Obamaon Monday could not havebeen better. The Libyan streetwas euphoric, Gadhafi wasin hiding and the price of oil a contributor to danger-ous economic lethargy wasdropping.

The Libyan interven-tion demonstrates what theinternational community canachieve when we stand togeth-er as one, Obama said at hisvacation retreat in Marthas

Vineyard, Mass.Obama was careful toemphasize that uncertaintyremained and that Gadhafisregime could still pose a threat.Whats more, it will take sev-

eral months even under a sta-bilized Libya before its oilfields are producing enoughcrude to start exporting again.But any extra shipments couldlower the price of gasoline,which has already come downmore than 40 cents a gallonfrom its peak in May.

Back in March, Obamagambled that the way toconfront a potential civiliancatastrophe in Libya was tobuild a coalition of NATOand Arab countries to useairpower ostensibly to pro-tect Libyan citizens from aGadhafi crackdown. But hisintent was clear all along:

Gadhafi had to go.The Libyan leader wasdeemed a sponsor of terror-ism, and his regime in 1986was found responsible forbombing a Berlin disco-theque frequented by U.S.troops. Three people diedin the explosion. Two yearslater, a Libyan agent planteda bomb that blew up Pan AmFlight 103 over Lockerbie,Scotland.

The uprising in Libya fol-lows the death of Osama binLaden at the hands of U.S.special operations troops, amajor achievement for theObama administration and

one that solidified the presi-dents standing with the pub-lic on his handling of terror-ism.

But Gadhafis removal hasadditional implications. A sta-

bilized Libya would mean thecountrys oil production couldgo back online, potentiallyreducing the cost of oil, whichspiked globally in Februaryas the flow of oil from Libyadried to a trickle.

Time and again, the presi-dent has cited the uprisingsin the Arab world and theincreased cost of oil as head-winds that have imperiledthe economic recovery.

Libya has the largest oilreserves in Africa. Before theuprising, it was the worlds12th largest exporter, deliv-ering more than 1.5 millionbarrels per day mostly to

European markets.The news of the rebels suc-cess was affecting Brent crude,which is used to price manyinternational oil varieties, drop-ping 92 cents to $107.70 perbarrel in London.

If oil prices continue tohead south, thats a real plusfor the economy, said MarkZandi, chief economist atMoodys Analytics. We cantake all the plusses we can getat this point.

So could Obama. While thepresidents overall approvalwith the public is above 40percent in most polls, thenumber that approve of his

handling of the economydropped to a new low of 26percent in a Gallup poll lastweek. By contrast, 53 percentapproved of his handling ofterrorism.

WASHINGTON Another recession isnt like-ly over the next 12 months.Neither is any meaningfulimprovement in the econo-my.

Thats the picture that

emerges from an AssociatedPress survey of leading econ-omists who have grown morepessimistic in recent weeks.They say high unemploymentand weak consumer spend-ing will hold back the U.S.economy into 2012.

Their gloominess comesat a time when Europes debtcrisis threatens to infect theglobal financial system. Italso coincides with an annualeconomic conference late thisweek in Jackson Hole, Wyo.,and speculation about wheth-er Federal Reserve ChairmanBen Bernanke will unveil anynew steps there to help the

economy.Worries that another reces-sion is nearing and that theEuropean crisis will spreadhave led to a roughly 15 per-cent drop in stock prices inthe past month. Economistssay the Great Recessionended in June 2009.

What makes a solutionso difficult is that the feargripping investors isnt just

a symptom of economic dis-tress; its also a cause of it.Sinking stock prices frightenconsumers and businesses.They then spend and investless. Investors respond tolower corporate sales by sell-ing stocks, worsening themarket declines.

Each day that the stock

market sinks puts anothernail in the coffin of the recov-ery, says Beth Ann Bovino,senior economist at Standard& Poors.

I had been saying it was ahalf-speed recovery; now, itsa quarter-speed recovery,Bovino says.

She is among 43 private,corporate and academic econ-omists surveyed this monthby the AP. As a group, theyare more downbeat than whensurveyed eight weeks ago.Among their conclusions:

The likelihood of arecession within the next 12months is 26 percent. In June,

the economists had put thelikelihood at 15 percent. The economy will inch

ahead at an annual rate of 2percent in the July-Septemberquarter and 2.2 percent fromOctober through December.Though stronger than thegrowth for the first half of2011, that isnt enough tolower the unemployment ratemuch, if at all. And next year

will barely be stronger. Weak consumer spend-

ing poses a major riskto the economy. In June,Americans cut their spendingfor the first time in nearly twoyears. And consumer spend-ing fuels about 70 percent ofthe economy.

The unemployment rate

will end this year at 9 per-cent and 2012 at 8.5 percent.Those rates are slightly lessthan Julys 9.1 percent. Buttheyre more consistent witha recession than a recovery.

The Feds efforts tokeep interest rates at recordlows may not succeed inpromoting growth or easingunemployment. But its low-rate policies will likely booststock prices.

The economists do foreseeeconomic growth, job cre-ation, consumer spending andhome prices all rising over thenext year. But the gains theyexpect are so slight that many

Americans wont notice.For months, the Fed andprivate economists had clungto hopes that a slowdownin spring and early summerwould prove temporary. Theyinitially blamed temporaryfactors especially higheroil prices and an earthquakeand nuclear crisis in Japanthat disrupted factory produc-tion.

HARTFORD, Conn.

Former U.S. Rep. Christopher

Shays said Monday he plansto file paperwork in Octoberto run as a RepublicanU.S. Senate candidate inConnecticut, calling himselfthe underdog for the partysendorsement.

In a telephone interviewwith The Associated Press,Shays said he and his wiferestored their Connecticutdrivers licenses Friday andhave re-registered as voters inBridgeport, transferring theirlegal residence from Marylandback to Connecticut.

Shays, who is currentlyserving as the co-chairmanof the federal Commission onWartime Contracting, said hedid not want to file with theFederal Elections Commissionuntil he finished his work onthe panel and would avoidany appearance of a conflictof interest. The commissionhas a report coming out nextweek and he doesnt expectto finish briefing members ofCongress until September.

I cant tell you how excit-ed I am. Its going to be awonderful experience and Ihope I win this primary (inAugust 2012), he said. Ill

do my best to get the endorse-ment at the convention butI think candidly, Id be theunderdog.

Former wrestling execu-

tive Linda McMahon, theGOP candidate in the 2010race for the U.S. Senate, toldthe AP earlier this month thatshe plans to solidify herdecision about running in sev-eral weeks for the seat beingvacated by the retiring Sen.Joe Lieberman, an indepen-dent.

She said she was lean-ing strongly toward get-ting in the race. McMahonspent about $50 million ofher own money in 2010, butlost to now-Sen. RichardBlumenthal, a Democrat.

Shays was considered acentrist Republican when heserved in Congress. He repre-sented the 4th CongressionalDistrict until 2009, when helost to Democratic U.S. Rep.Jim Himes.

Democrats wasted no timein criticizing Shays.

After voters in Connecticutrejected Chris Shays, ChrisShays rejected the votersof Connecticut, deciding tomake his home in Maryland,where he could easily cash inon his time in Congress, saidMatt Canter, a spokesman forthe Democratic Senatorial

Campaign Committee. Itsdoubtful that Chris Shayshas learned much, if any-thing, about Connecticutsbest interests after living in

Maryland for the past fewyears. Hes still a rubberstamp for Republican policiesthat would hurt our economyand squeeze middle-classfamilies.

Shays declined to give spe-cifics about what he offers asa candidate.

Im looking forward todoing a lot of listening, alot of learning and hopefullyprovide some leadership, hesaid. Im not seeing much ofit right now.

Shays said he decidedto run for the Senate afterLieberman announced hisretirement.

As soon as Joe Liebermansaid he wasnt running again I would never have thoughtof challenging Joe butas soon as I learned that hewasnt going to run, and justseeing the things that Im see-ing in Washington, its prettystunning, he said.

Shays said he and hiswife, Betsi, sold their formerBridgeport home in November2009 but bought a new placein the spring of 2010. He saidthey plan to keep their water-front Maryland home.

WASHINGTON (AP) GOP presidential candidateJon Huntsman says the U.S. isa center-right country politi-cally and the public is cry-ing out for a sensible middleground just what he sayshe offers.

The former Utah governorsays his Republican rivalsas well as President BarackObama are on the politicalfringes. Huntsman says

Obama is too liberal and thereare Republican candidateswho are too far to the right andhave zero substance.

Huntsman, whos laggingin national polls, saved hisharshest criticism in a televi-sion interview for two of thecandidates who are at the topof the 2012 pack TexasGov. Rick Perry and MinnesotaRep. Michele Bachmann.

Huntsman slammed Perryfor expressing skepticism aboutmanmade global warming andfor criticizing the nations cen-tral banker. I think when youfind yourself at an extreme endof the Republican Party, youmake yourself unelectable,Huntsman said in interview onABCs This Week.

Huntsman also ridiculedBachmanns claims that shecould bring gasoline pricesbelow $2 if elected president.I just dont know what worldthat comment would comefrom. ... That is completelyunrealistic. And, again, itstalking about things that, youknow, may pander to a par-ticular group or sound good atthe time, but it just simply isnot founded in reality.

Huntsman: 2012rivals politicallyon the fringes

VAN WERT Jeffersonsgirls soccer team endured an0-14-2 record in 2010, whileVan Werts 0-13-3 in its firstforay into the varsity soccerwars.

Something had to givewhen these teams met upMonday in season-open-ing action at Rotary SoccerComplex in Van Wert.

The Lady Wildcats drewfirst blood in that desire toturn things around, getting alate goal in the second halfand holding off a Lady Cougarcharge for a 2-1 victory.

With the score knotted at1-1 starting the second 40

minutes, the Wildcats had thebetter of the offensive pro-ceedings in the second half.The Wildcats registered 10shots on-goal for the contest seven in the second half.

We dominated the secondhalf. One of the reasons wasour midfield was so strong,Jefferson coach LindseyDrerup noted. That has beena perennial weakness for us.However, I think we havefound a good combinationthere. We moved (senior)Elizabeth (Schosker) therefrom forward and she givesus a speedier attack and amore offensive mindset. Shepushes it forward quickly.

Plus, our defense was strongtoday. (Junior) Jenna (Moreo)is more of a defensive mid-fielder. (Senior) Hayley(Drerup) and (junior) Corinne(Metzger) ruled in the centraldefense. Corrine might havethe best wheels Ive seen.

Van Wert head man RichNouza knows his young teamhas a ways to go but saw a lotof positives.

This is only our secondyear in varsity and we have alot of young girls, some thathave never played the gamebefore. Were teaching a lotof fundamentals and basics,Nouza noted. We know thiswill be a slow process. Rome

wasnt built in a day and thisteam wont be, either. Still,

I liked our intensity for theentire match. The girls playedhard.

Every time the Red andWhite tried to break throughto snap the tie, Cougar fresh-man goalkeeper Emily Bair (7saves) and her defense cameup with the goods.

On the other end, theJefferson defense really lim-ited Van Werts opportunitiesat the goal, giving up a merethree shots on-goal in the sec-

ond half (6 for the contest).The closest the hosts could

get was at 20:51 when juniormidfielder Sierra Kesler triedto pooch one over the topfrom just outside the top ofthe 18-yard box; however,senior netminder CassidyBevington (4 saves) came upwith the stop.

The Wildcats started togain more control and it paidoff at the 6:04 mark. Schoskergot on a nice run down theleft side and crossed the balltoward the middle. Juniormidfielder Rachel Miller gotcontrol and with Bair slightlyoff her line, the Wildcat slidit past the keeper into the

right side of the net for a 2-1victory.

The visitors had a chanceto put the icing on the cakeat 4:15 when senior mid-fielder Carla Horstman got anice opening; however, shepooched the 20-yarder justover the crossbar.

The guests had the firstgreat chance of the match at35:12 when senior forwardAmanda Vorst launched onefrom 14 yards; Bair deflectedthe orb away.

However, she could not

stop the next great openingat 34:43. On a corner kick(the first of 4 for the contest)from the right side, freshmanforward Kylee Haehn foundSchosker in the middle. Her9-yard header went back tothe right and into the net fora 1-0 edge.

The hosts replied just twominutes later. Off a cornerkick one of their five inthe first half (6 for the match) from the left side, withthe wind blowing againstthe kick, sophomore HannahHulbert laid it out perfectlyand the wind curled it into thenet for a 1-all tie.

The Cougars nearly went

ahead at the 23:57 mark whensenior forward Lindsay Lamb

got a great chance form insidethe box but her shot hit theleft post.

Cassidy was solid in thenet for us. It helped that thedefenders in front of her didntgive up a lot of free looks,Coach Drerup added. Wehave a couple of freshmenthat really played well todayfor their first varsity matches.Kylee and Elisabeth (Miller)showed great ball skills. Wedidnt have (senior) Megan

(Gilden) because of her fairschedule. The only troubletoday was we kind of wentflat toward the end of thefirst half and nearly gave upanother goal. That was bigthat we held them off.

The Wildcats hostOttoville 5 p.m. Thursday atHamel Memorial Field in FortJennings.

We were very competitivetoday. Last year, we reallywerent in most of our match-es, Nouza added. I likedhow we answered right awayafter going down a goal. Wehad a chance to win and that isall we can ask right now.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) After yet another badday at work, Denny Hamlinreceived a pick-me-up via textmessage from one of his new-est friends.

Tough day my friend,began the text from MichaelJ o r d a n .Still inthis thing.Stay posi-tive!!!

Hamlin was clearlyimpressed by the words, evi-denced by him posting a pic-ture of the text on his Twitterpage a mere four minutesafter the NBA Hall of Famerhit the send button. Problemis, Hamlin has enjoyed therich-and-famous lifestyle heearned, but has lost his swag-ger during this sinking sea-son.

Hamlin looks nothinglike the driver who nearlydethroned Jimmie Johnsonlast season, and if things dontturn around in the next threeweeks, he may not even havea shot at competing for theNASCAR championship thisseason. His 35th-place finishSunday at Michigan, wherehe won his only race of 2011back in June, dropped Hamlintwo spots in the Sprint Cup

Series standings to 14th.If the Chase for the Sprint

Cup championship begantomorrow, hed still get aberth in the 12-driver field byvirtue of the new wild cardsystem. But that could eas-ily change if Hamlin doesntput a string of solid finishestogether beginning Saturdaynight at Bristol.

Maybe he does pull ittogether and sneak into theChase. And then what? Hecertainly doesnt look likea legitimate title contender,with a whopping one top-10finish in the eight races sincehis Michigan victory.

Even worse, he absolutelydid not sound like a title con-tender on Sunday.

Emerging from a 45-min-ute post-race meeting withfrustrated crew chief MikeFord, Hamlin told reporterstheres a potential upside tohim and his Joe Gibbs Racingteam sitting out this yearstitle race.

Who knows? Maybemissing the Chase would bethe best thing for us for nextyear, Hamlin said. We couldspend 10 weeks just screwing

around and thinking of dif-ferent and new ways to makeour cars better and not have topoints race for 10 weeks.

Its highly unlikely thatanyone from JGR, sponsorFedEx or manufacturer Toyotashares that sentiment with

H a m l i n .C h a n c e sare, theycant even

believe he suggested such athing.

This isnt the same DennyHamlin who, following hisbreakthrough victory at hometrack Richmond in 2009,developed an overnight swag-ger that helped him flip aswitch and finally start real-izing his potential. Solid sincehis 2005 debut, he made theChase in 2006 as a rookieand held onto a spot in thechampionship field every yearsince.

But come Chase time, hefizzled and never really con-tended for the title. Althoughhe finished third in the finalstandings that rookie season,he didnt run at the samepace as the legitimate cham-pionship contenders and hecouldnt figure out how to winmore than one or two races ayear.

That changed, though,with that win at Richmond.His confidence now soaring,Hamlin won three of the final11 races of 2009 and madeit clear he was coming forJohnson the next season. Howdid he do that? He announcedit, of course, over a micro-phone at a party he threw fol-lowing the awards ceremonyat which Johnson collected hisfourth Cup.

Dont doubt for a minute,though, that Hamlin didntlive up to his promise. Hedelivered despite a bevy ofdistractions that ranged fromearly-season surgery on a torn

knee ligament to a downtownCharlotte nightclub that catersto the beautiful people Hamlinhas been steadily adding to hisphone book.

Hamlin racked up eightwins and took Johnson allthe way down to the wire,losing the title over the finaltwo weeks because of oneteam miscalculation and onedriver error. Up 15 pointsheaded into the finale, he fell39 points short of taking thattitle from Johnson.

And hes not been the same

Denny Hamlin needs hisswagger back to save season

DEAR DR. GOTT: Ihave had a burning sensationin the upper part of my leftarm for about five or sixyears. It came and went for awhile, and sometimes monthspassed without it happening.Recently the sensation hasworsened, and I experience itdaily. I have noticed that theburning is similar to that ofheartburn but hotter (I havehad a lot of heartburn lately).The arm burning lasts only asecond or two and feels as ifsomeone has lit a match in myarm and quickly blown it out.I have also started to have aslight tingling in my left handand fingers.

I have been to two doctorsfor it, but they are at a loss asto what is causing it. Neitherone referred me to a specialist.I have not had any injuries tomy arm, shoulder or hand. I dohave some arthritis pain in myhand and fingers.

Other than vitamins, the onlymedicine I take is Xalatan for

glaucoma. I had the burninglong before I found out Ihad glaucoma. Aside fromoccasional hot flashes and theglaucoma, I am pretty healthy. Iam a 51-year-old black female,premenopausal, 121 poundsand 5 feet 6 inches. Can youplease help?

DEAR READER: My first

thought on reading your letteris nerve impingement, likelyfrom your spine. The nerves ofthe spinal cord that run throughthe vertebrae of your neckcan often lead to arm tingling,burning and weakness. It canvary from mild to severe, andthe sensations may come and go

or become chronic. Typicallyas the impingement worsens,the pain or weakness worsens,and each episode lasts longer orbecomes persistent. Over time,if left untreated, permanentdamage may result.

Another possibility is yourXalatan. Chest pain, angina,and muscle/joint and back painare known side effects. Chestpain can often be confused withheartburn and can radiate to thearm. But I think this is unlikelyin your case.

Heart problems can alsoresult in chest, arm and handpain. This commonly occurson the left side and canresemble a muscle ache orheartburn. If you have a strong

family or personal history ofheart trouble, particularly ifcombined with hypertensionand/or high cholesterol, thismay be a possibility.

The most likely cause iscoming from your neck orback. You already have arthritisin your hands, so you mayalso have it in your spine as

well. Arthritis, aging, and/ordegenerative changes to thespine can easily explain yoursymptoms.

Return to your physicianto discuss this possibility andrequest further testing, such asan X-ray, CT scan or MRI. Bloodwork should also be ordered ifyou havent had any recently.Depending on the results of yourblood work and imaging tests,seeing a neurologist (nerve andbrain specialist), orthopedist(bone and joint specialist) orcardiologist (heart specialist)may be beneficial to determinethe cause of your burning arm

and to provide appropriatetreatment.

Homemade pizza is frugaland delicious. You can add yourleftover tidbits of meat andvegetables for toppings, too.Microwaving leftover pizzacan sometimes cause it to getrubbery. One reader, Karenfrom Iowa, shares: Instead of

microwaving leftover pizza,melt a little butter in a fryingpan. Place the pizza in the panon medium heat with the lidon tightly. The steam will meltthe cheese, and the butter willmake the crust crispy instead ofsoggy.

Think making pizza doughis too time-consuming? Thefollowing tip shares a doughrecipe and theres no risingrequired. This makes for afantastic pizza dough thatdoesnt burn on the bottom,either.

No-rise pizza dough:

1 egg

3 tablespoons sugar1 teaspoon salt2 tablespoons shortening1 cup milk1 cup water2 packages dry yeast4 1/2 to 5 cups flour

Beat egg, sugar and salt well.Heat shortening, milk and waterto lukewarm, then add yeast.Combine milk mixture withsugar mixture. Add flour untilmixture is no longersticky.Puton greased pizza pans. You haveenough dough for two pizzas. --Tisha, Canada

Keep a few snack or appetizerrecipes on hand. You can whipsomething together in no timerather than ordering takeout.For example, you might wantpizza or donuts. Try makingcinnamon tortilla strips. Cuttortillas into strips (a pizzacutter works well) and spreada small amount of butter ontop, or spray with cooking oil.Then sprinkle the tortillas with

cinnamon and sugar and putthem in a 350-degree oven forfive minutes. You can also frya few plain tortilla strips inoil until theyre light golden-brown. (Fry a few at a time.)Drain the strips briefly on papertowels, then drag each of themthrough a sugar-and-cinnamonmixture.
