Chemical mix injures 4
BY MIKE FORD

DELPHOS — The offi-
cial cause of an incident at
the Delphos Wastewater
Treatment Plant Wednesday
remains undetermined. The
fire department was called to
the facility around 10:15 a.m.
after toxic fumes filled the air
breathed in by four persons
who were transported to St.
Rita’s Medical Center. The
names of those persons have
not been released. They were
treated and released.
Wednesday afternoon,
Safety Services Director Greg
Berquist said a chemical sup-
plier was delivering liquid
chlorine at the time.
“The chemicals chlorine
and oxalic acid were acciden-
tally combined. The combina-
tion of these chemicals causes
the creation of a toxic gas,” he
said. “The incident occurred
during the off-loading of liq-
uid chlorine into a storage
tank. How the chlorine made
contact with the oxalic acid
has not been determined.”
Fire Chief Dave McNeal
gave an update this morning.
“What they think hap-
pened is that when the pump
was turned on for one chemi-
cal, it pulled another chemi-
cal in line into the pump and
that created a hazardous situ-
ation,” he said.
Allen County Office of
Homeland Security and
Emergency Management
Director Russ Decker said
determining the cause is
entirely up to local officials.
“The Delphos Fire
Department requested the Allen
County HAZMAT team. They
responded and went in and took
air samples inside the building
and shut off a valve to the chlo-
rine tank. That was pretty much
our role. We didn’t conduct an
investigation — that’s up to the
city to do,” he said.
Several agencies visit-
“The incident
is completely
contained
within the Delphos
wastewater
plant. At no time
was there any
exposure to the
community or
the city water
system.”

that someone could have sim-
ply walked in with a gas mask
on to turn the valve, caus-
ing the gas to dissipate and
everyone would have gone
about their day. However, in
a post-9/11 world, thorough-
ness is utilized.
McNeal said the investi-
gation is over but couldn’t
say exactly how the mishap
occurred.
“I’m not certain; I’m not
going to say it was any one
thing that caused it. It was
several things and they are
looking at remedying that
situation down there. They’re
looking at separating the
tanks and how to keep this
from ever happening again,”
McNeal said.
Berquist stresses that resi-
dents were never at risk.
“The incident is completely
contained within the Delphos
wastewater plant. At no time
was there any exposure to the
community or the city water
system,” he concluded.

VAN WERT COUNTY COURT NEWS
The following individuals
appeared Wednesday before
Judge Charles Steele in Van
Wert County Common Pleas
Court:
Shawn Ussery, 22,
Sylvania, was placed on five
years of community control
on a first-degree misdemean-
or charge of telecommunica-
tions harassment.
Ussery was charged with
a felony count of telecom-
munications harassment in
January after a Van Wert
County Sheriff’s Department
investigation. Ussery had
a previous misdemeanor
charge which he was convict-
ed of in October 2009 in the
Van Wert Municipal Court.
Ussery pleaded guilty to a
reduced misdemeanor charge
in a plea agreement.
Judge Steele in addition to
the five years of community
control ordered that Ussery
spend eight days in the Van
Wert County Jail and then
spend an additional 30 days
at a time to be determined
by his supervision officer.
Ussery is required to under-
go a psychological assess-
ment and a substance abuse
assessment and complete any
rehabilitation programs rec-
ommended.
Ussery is not to have any
contact in any form with the
victim or victim’s family and
must perform 200 hours of
community service which can
be reduced to 100 hours if
fully employed or a full time
student.
Judge Steele advised
Ussery that failing to comply
with all stipulations of com-
munity control would result
in a 180-day jail sentence.

Regional administrator for
the National Highway Traffic

2008, a total of 12,671 pas-

nationwide in highway crash-

those killed not wearing their

percent killed during daylight
hours were not wearing seat

“Consistent research has
shown that fewer people are
buckling up at night when
the risk of a being in a fatal

“That’s why during this holi-

“Seat belts clearly save

By JULIE
HIRSCHFELD DAVIS
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — When
President Barack Obama
brought Republicans his wish
list over lunch this week,
GOP senators criticized vir-
tually every goal — except
confirming Supreme Court
nominee Elena Kagan.
In an election year con-
sumed by fights over health
care, Wall Street and the big
oil spill, Kagan’s quiet march
toward a lifetime seat on the
nation’s highest court is, at
least for now, causing little
stir.
That’s no accident.
Republicans and Democrats
alike acknowledge privately
that one of Kagan’s major
selling points as a Supreme
Court nominee is the fact
that just over a year ago, the
Senate vetted her for the post
of solicitor general — the top
lawyer who argues the gov-
ernment’s cases before the
court — and she won confir-
mation with seven Republican
votes.
That made her an easy pick
for a president battling low
approval ratings and juggling
an ambitious agenda — and
one that ranks fairly low on
lawmakers’ radar screens.
“So many of our members
Obama’s new security strategy breaks with Bush
By ANNE GEARAN
and ROBERT BURNS
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — In his first 16 months in
President Barack Obama is
breaking with the go-it-alone
Bush years in a new strat-
egy for keeping the nation
safe, counting more on U.S.
allies to tackle terrorism and
other global problems. It’s
an approach that already has
proved tricky in practice.
The administration’s
National Security Strategy,
a summary of which was
obtained today by The
Associated Press, also for the
first time adds homegrown
terrorism to the familiar menu
of threats facing the nation
— international terror, nuclear
weapons proliferation, eco-
nomic instability, global cli-
mate change and an erosion of
democratic freedoms abroad.
From mustering NATO
forces for Afghanistan to cor-
ralling support to pressure
North Korea to give up its
illicit nuclear weapons pro-
gram, the U.S. has sometimes
struggled in leaning on friends
and allies in recent years. Still,
the new strategy breaks with
some previous administrations
in putting heavy emphasis on
the value of global coopera-

USA Executive Director Ron
Pollack, U.S. Reps. Tim Ryan

6), UHCAN Ohio Executive
Director Cathy Levine, and

resident.
Ohioans at risk of denial
of coverage due to pre-exist-
ing conditions
Without historic health
reform legislation passed ear-
lier this year, more than 1 in
4 non-elderly Ohioans would
be at risk of being denied
coverage due to pre-existing
conditions. The Families USA
report explored how pre-exist-
ing conditions affect Ohioans
across age, income, and racial
variations.
Age breakdown of
Ohioans who have a pre-
existing condition that could
lead to a denial of health
insurance coverage:
• Children (under the age of
18): 209,800
• Young Adults (aged
18-24): Nearly 1 in 5 – 18.1
percent
• Ohio Adults (aged 45-54):
Nearly 2 in 5 – 39.1 percent
• Ohio Adults (aged 55 to
64): Nearly Half – 49.1 percent
Income variations
The lowest-income
Ohioans are the most likely to
have a pre-existing condition
that could lead to a denial in
coverage, with more than 1 in
4 individuals in families with
incomes below 100 percent
of the federal poverty level
affected. While the lowest-
income Ohioans are slightly
more likely to be affected by
a pre-existing condition, mid-
on both sides are involved
in so many other issues,”
said Sen. Jeff Sessions of
Alabama, the top Republican
on the Judiciary Committee
that will hold Kagan’s confir-
mation hearings.
Senators will start paying
more attention in late June
and early July, when they get
the chance to question Kagan
under oath and then debate
her nomination on the floor,
Sessions added. “I hear inter-
est. The American people are
interested,” he said in an inter-
view today.
Sen. Bob Menendez,
D-N.J., the head of his party’s
Senate campaign committee,
said GOP senators will likely
want to use her nomination
to motivate their conservative
base, but it will be difficult to
do so given that some of them
backed her in the past. “If
they beat up on her without
real substance, it’s a risk for
them,” Menendez said.
And there’s little of sub-
stance — at least for now —
to power opposition to Kagan.
The 50-year-old former
Harvard Law School dean has
never been a judge and liti-
gated only a handful of cases,
so she has a thin public record
virtually devoid of ammuni-
tion for her critics.
Democrats have more
than enough votes to confirm
tion, developing wider secu-
rity partnerships and helping
other nations provide for their
own defense.
office, Obama has pursued a
strategy of gentle persuasion,
sometimes summarized as
“engagement.”
His administration has
attended more closely to ties
with Europe, sought a “reset”
of relations with Russia,
pushed harder to restart stalled
Mideast peace talks and con-
sulted widely on a roadmap
for defeating the Taliban in
Afghanistan.
Obama’s critics, how-
ever, assert that his policies
have largely failed, given the
continued defiance of Iran
and North Korea on nuclear
development, the stalemate in
Afghanistan and worries about
terrorist attacks at home.
Presidents use their nation-
al security strategy to set broad
goals and priorities for keep-
ing Americans safe. But the
document isn’t an academic
exercise: it has far-reaching
effects on spending, defense
policies and security strategy.
For example, President
George W. Bush’s 2002 strat-
egy document spelled out a
doctrine of pre-emptive war.
“We must be prepared to
dle-class and higher-income
Ohioans make up more than
70 percent of those with pre-
existing conditions that could
lead to a denial in coverage.
Racial variations
In Ohio, American Indians
and Alaska Natives are the
most likely to have pre-exist-
ing conditions that could lead
to a denial in coverage with
more than one-quarter affect-
ed. More than 1 in 4 whites
and African Americans have
a pre-existing condition that
could lead to a denial in cov-
erage; and more than 1 in 7
Hispanics and 1 in 10 Asian
Americans are affected.
How Health Reform will
help
Immediately banning pre-
existing condition exclusions
for children
Effective six months after
enactment, health insurers will
be prohibited from excluding
coverage of children because of
pre-existing condition or from
denying coverage of certain
medical care because of pre-
existing condition. This provi-
sion is effective for plan years
beginning on or after 6 months
after enactment of the law or
Sept. 23, 2010. This provision
is similar to legislation Brown
introduced in March 2009 that
would prevent insurers from
denying coverage to children
with pre-existing conditions.
Total ban on pre-exist-
ing condition exclusions for
everyone
Beginning in 2014, health
insurers will be prohibited
from denying anyone cov-
erage due to a pre-existing
condition, from excluding
coverage of medical care due

Kagan, and so far Republicans
appear to have little appetite
for trying to block her through
a filibuster.
Things could change
quickly, however. Strategists
on both sides note that even
the seemingly smoothest-
running confirmation process
can rapidly go wrong with
a bombshell revelation about
the nominee.
For now, Republican criti-
cism is focusing on her role
in barring the military from
Harvard’s job recruitment
office in protest of the pro-
hibition against openly gay
soldiers. GOP senators have
faulted her for her lack of
experience as a judge or court-
room lawyer. And they say
they worry that, as a former
member of Obama’s team, she
would be a Supreme Court
rubber stamp for the presi-
dent’s policies.
But Republicans have for
the most part stayed quiet about
Kagan, biding their time until
they can learn more about her
and the public is paying closer
attention to what they have
to say. They’re hoping a new
trove of information on Kagan
— her yet-to-be-released files
as a Clinton administration
lawyer and policy adviser —
will yield more details about
her views and judicial tenden-
cies.
stop rogue states and their
terrorist clients before they
are able to threaten or use
weapons of mass destruction
against the United States and
our allies and friends,” the
Bush strategy said, with Iraq
clearly in mind. The follow-
ing year U.S. forces invaded,
launching a conflict that has
lasted far longer and cost far
more money and lives than
Bush intended.
Obama’s new strategy is
expected to repudiate, at least
implicitly, that doctrine.
Bush, too, valued alliances.
But some of his action, espe-
cially the U.S.-led invasion of
Iraq, ripped holes in the fabric
of U.S. foreign relations, par-
ticularly in Europe.
Bush pursued what he called
“a distinctly American interna-
tionalism.” One of the central
pillars of his national security
strategy — spelled out in 2002
and repeated in 2006 — was
a call to “strengthen alliances
to defeat global terrorism” and
to “work with others to defuse
regional conflict.”
But because of Iraq, the
indefinite detention of terror
suspects at Guantanamo Bay
and other actions, the Bush
administration estranged some
traditional allies — a situation
exploited by U.S. foes.
to pre-existing conditions,
or from charging individuals
more in premiums because of
pre-existing conditions.
Immediate high-risk
pools
By mid-summer 2010,
Ohio’s high-risk pool should
be up and running to provide
immediate relief to uninsured
Americans with pre-existing
conditions. Premiums in the
high risk pool will be afford-
able to ensure that those who
have been priced-out of cover-
age have access to affordable,
high-quality insurance. Ohio
officials are currently working
with the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services to
establish an appropriate high-
risk pool for the state. High
risk pools will exist until the
exchanges are operational in
2014.
More Congress can do
Last week, Sen. Sherrod
Brown introduced the COBRA
Health Benefits Extension Act
of 2010 that would extend
health insurance coverage for
current COBRA enrollees
until the major reforms in the
new health law take effect.
The legislation would pro-
vide a bridge for unemployed
workers and early retirees
by allowing them to stay on
their former employer’s health
plan instead of entering the
individual market or enrolling
in a high risk pool. Former
workers currently enrolled
in COBRA would be able to
keep their insurance beyond
standard eligibility periods
until another job that offers
coverage is secured or they
are eligible to participate in an
insurance exchange in 2014.

TROY — All one wants
to do in track and field at this
point is stay alive for one
more week.
Two St. John’s athletes did
just that during Wednesday’s
Troy regional Track and
Field Meet.
Seniors Steven Metcalfe
and Nathan Jackson punched
their tickets to the Division
III State Track and Field
Meet starting June 4 by tak-
ing first and third in the boys
discus.
Both acknowledge that
going against each other dur-
ing practice and meets pushes
them on to better throws.
“We kind of help each
other during practices and
meets,” Metcalfe began.
“When he throws first,
that kind of relaxes me and
vice versa,” Jackson chimed
in.
For Metcalfe, his improve-
ment during the post-season
has gotten him to this point.
“I was in the 140s (feet)
all season but ever since the
MAC (Midwest Athletic
Conference) meet, I have
been in the 150s. That was a
lot of hard work and improve-
ment in my technique,” he
explained. “The coaches have
really helped me straighten
that out so I am throwing my
best now. My goal was to
get to state; if that happened,
anything else was icing on
the cake.”
Jackson figured that the
off-season was key for both
of them.
“We worked hard in the
off-season on the weights.
Working out with (assistant
coach) Jack (DeWitt) really
improved our strength,” he
added.
With both of them advanc-
ing to state, it is already a
record-breaking year for the
Blue Jay throwers.
“We’d never had a MAC,
District and Regional cham-
pion in the discus. We’ve
never had two throwers going
to state in the same year in
one event,” Metcalfe added.
They don’t figure to

AL
CLEVELAND — Mark
Buehrle’s ejection in the third
inning for arguing a balk didn’t
rattle the Chicago White Sox,
who regrouped after losing their
starting pitcher and survived a
scary ninth to beat the Cleveland
Indians 5-4 on Wednesday.
Buehrle and manager Ozzie
Guillen were both tossed by first-
base umpire Joe West, who called
two balks on the left-hander in the
first three innings.
Mark Kotsay hit a two-run
homer off Jake Westbrook (2-3)
and Mark Teahen drove in two
runs as Chicago won two of three
over Cleveland to capture their
first road series this season.
Bobby Jenks nearly blew a
5-1 lead in the ninth, allowing the
Indians to score three runs before
striking out Austin Kearns with the
bases loaded and getting Russell
Branyan to fly out.
White Sox reliever Tony Pena
(1-1), summoned in the fourth
after Randy Williams left with an
apparent foot injury, worked four
scoreless innings and was cred-
ited with the win.

Yankees 3, Twins 2
MINNEAPOLIS — Nick
Swisher homered in the top of
the ninth inning, allowing Mariano
Rivera to record his second save
in less than four hours for New
York.
Swisher hit his solo shot off
Twins closer Jon Rauch (1-1),
the third 2-out run scored by the
Yankees in the second game.
Derek Jeter homered and
made a highlight-reel play at
shortstop in the sixth inning of the
first game, which was completed
after being halted by rain the night
before.
Rivera pitched the ninth inning
for the save in the first game,
making up for his only blown
chance of the season 10 days
ago at Yankee Stadium against
the Twins.
Andy Pettitte (6-1) went eight
innings in the second game.
Red Sox 11, Rays 3
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. —
Adrian Beltre homered twice and
matched a career high with six
RBIs, leading Boston to its eighth
win in nine games and a 3-game
sweep
Beltre had four hits, finishing
a double shy of the cycle after his
ninth-inning triple helped put the
game out of reach. David Ortiz
homered for the sixth time in 11
games.
John Lackey (5-3) allowed two
runs over 6 1/3 innings, pitching
his best with runners in scoring
position.
Matt Garza (5-3) allowed a
season-high six runs and five hits
in five innings.
Athletics 6, Orioles 1
BALTIMORE — Trevor Cahill
pitched six innings of 2-hit ball,

night after grabbing the Troy Regional title in the boys
discus and advancing to the state meet next weekend. His
St. John’s teammate, Nathan Jackson, right, took third and
will also participate at state.
change what has worked up
to this point.
“During a normal practice,
we might throw 15 times and
maybe seven the day before
a meet. We’ll probably do
the same this week to keep
ourselves fresh for Friday,”
Jackson added.
There was some con-
troversy during the meet
Wednesday. The Ottoville
girls 4x800-meter relay of
senior Molly Maag, senior
Holly Heitmeyer, sopho-
more Kari Beining and junior
Shayla Siefker turned in a
season-best 9:39.6 to get past
Versailles and win the event.
However, 10 minutes later, it
was announced that the quar-
tet had been disqualified for
venturing too far out of their
inside lane.
The St. John’s boys
4x100-meter relay of senior
Justin Hanf and juniors Joe
Haggard, AJ Klausing and
Evan Burgei didn’t suffer
controversy; they simply
dropped the baton toward the
end, ending a run of state
qualifiers in that event for the
Blue and Gold.
The Lady Green did get
four points as sophomore
Lauren Kramer finished fifth
in the girls shot put, just fin-

Brian Matusz (2-5) gave up

ANAHEIM, Calif. — Bobby
Abreu hit an opposite-field RBI
single with two out in the ninth
inning, atoning for his error that
led to the tying run in the top half
for Los Angeles.
Joel Pineiro bounced back
from one of the worst outings of
his career with six innings of 2-hit
ball and left after six innings with a
5-3 lead thanks to Hideki Matsui’s
2-run homer.
Blue Jays starter Brandon

Hochevar (5-2) held the

SAN DIEGO — Jerry Hairston
Jr. homered with two outs in the
13th inning to give the San Diego
Padres a 2-1 win over the St.
Louis Cardinals on Wednesday
night.
Hairston homered to left-cen-
ter on the first pitch from Mitchell
Boggs (0-2), the Cardinals’ sev-
enth pitcher. It was his second.
His first came on Tuesday
night, when his second-inning
shot carried the Padres to a 1-0
win.

4x400-meter relay of junior
Natasha Kaufman, Maag,
Beining and Siefker did move
on, finishing fifth.
Kaufman just missed
advancing to the finals in the
300-meter hurdles, notching
ninth place.
The Blue Jays boys cur-
rently stand second in the
team race with 16 points.
They will have one indi-
vidual: Burgei in the 100-
meter dash; and a team: the
4x200-meter relay of sopho-
more Chris Will, seniors
Scott Recker and TJ Cross
and junior AJ Klausing; run-
ning Friday.
Recker failed to advance in
the boys 400-meter dash, end-
ing up 10th; while Klausing
was in the same spot in the
boys 300-meter hurdles.
The Jefferson girls reg-
istered two points as soph-
omore Kennedy Boggs
grabbed a seventh place in
the girls high jump. Senior
Mallorie Wilson finished her
career by registering an 11th-
place finish in the girls shot
put.
However, they have a
chance to make some serious
noise Friday after preliminar-
Edward Mujica (2-0) pitched
two perfect innings for the win.
The Cardinals got consecutive
singles by Colby Rasmus and
Yadier Molina opening the 11th
but the rally was snuffed by a
double play.

broke for home when Skip
Schumaker hit a grounder to sec-
ond baseman David Eckstein. He
threw home and catcher Yorvit

Ryan Ludwick flew out to center
to end the inning.

Celtics in a daze after
Magic take Game 5
By ANTONIO
GONZALEZ
The Associated Press
ORLANDO, Fla. — Glen
Davis wobbled his way to
halfcourt, woozy. Unable to
stand any longer, he went
down.
Something the Boston
Celtics are also doing
themselves.
An inadvertent
elbow from Dwight
Howard knocked
Davis to the ground but
the Celtics are all in a
bit of a daze after the
Orlando Magic’s 113-
92 victory Wednesday
night in Game 5 of the
Eastern Conference
finals.
A series that was
a game away from a
sweep a few days ago now
has the Celtics taking a 3-2
lead into a pressure-packed
Game 6 in Boston on Friday
night. A potential Game 7
would be in Orlando.
“We need to win one
game,” Celtics coach Doc
Rivers said. “And let’s hope
it’s the next one.”
That next one might be
even tougher.
The Celtics are facing the
possibility of playing without
Kendrick Perkins after their
starting center picked up his
seventh technical foul of the
playoffs, a mandatory suspen-
sion unless it is overturned.
The league reviews all tech-
nicals.
No NBA team has won
Kuznetsova rallies for French Open win
By STEVEN WINE
The Associated Press
PARIS — Playing on the
court nicknamed the bullring,
defending French Open cham-
pion Svetlana Kuznetsova
found herself backed into a
corner facing triple match
point.
An hour later, she was at
the net for a handshake and
into the third round.
The Russian’s great escape
came Wednesday against
Andrea Petkovic, who held
four match points in the sec-
ond set but lost 4-6, 7-5, 6-4.
“The one thing in the world
I want is to be here right now,
and I want to win so badly,”
the No. 6-seeded Kuznetsova
said. “From here on, I move
on much more confident.”
Rafael Nadal and Serena
Williams will have to wait at
least another day to play their
second-round matches at the
French Open.
Rain has delayed the start
of play at Roland Garros today
for more than four hours,
prompting organizers to begin
postponing matches.
Six singles matches and
16 doubles matches scheduled
for today will not be played
before Friday. Those include
4-time champion Nadal

a series after losing the first

The Magic, seemingly life-
less after a blowout defeat in
Game 3, suddenly have hope
to be the first. They broke
out of their series-long shoot-
ing slump, making 13 of 25
3-pointers.
“I just feel that if we keep
believing in each other
and trusting one another
and playing as hard as
we can, anything’s pos-
sible,” Howard said.
Jameer Nelson

J.J. Redick had 14 to

five blocks as Orlando

lead that was never
seriously challenged.
Rasheed Wallace had
21 points and Rajon Rondo
scored 19 for a Boston team
that once seemed on its way
to another NBA finals.
Now? The Celtics are
stunned — and Boston fans
who just watched their NHL
team blow a 3-0 lead are get-
ting uneasy.
Howard’s elbow inadver-
tently came down on Davis’
face near the basket in the third
quarter, and trainers diagnosed
the forward with a concussion.
Davis, nicknamed “Big Baby,”
tried to get up as play continued
on the other end, almost falling

On Wednesday, the defend-
ing men’s champion, Roger
Federer, was slowed only by
two rain delays. Unfazed, he
eliminated Alejandro Falla
7-6 (4), 6-2, 6-4.
“This is how this game
has been played for decades,”
Federer said. “We’re used to
walking on and off the court
and being flexible about these
kind of things.”
After three days of sun-
shine, conditions were damp
and cool for Wednesday’s

a third delay of 90 minutes

member Kyle Caballero with a check to assist the committee in completing a lighting
project at the flag pole in Landeck by the school.
Community committee finishes
Landeck flag-lighting project
The flag beside the
Landeck Elementary School
now has a light on it so that
the flag can fly proudly day
and night.
A donation from the
Landeck CL of C helped
the Landeck Community
Committee finish this phase
of the project.
The flag pole was origi-
nally put up from the pro-
ceeds from the Landeck

Over the years, the ever-

Witness says he has nightmares
about being shocked, suffocated
CHICAGO (AP) — A
63-year-old former gang mem-
ber nicknamed “Satan” testi-
fied Wednesday that he still
has nightmares about being
shocked and suffocated by for-
mer Chicago police lieutenant
and his men during a murder
investigation more than 35
years ago.
Anthony Holmes was the first
witness called in Jon Burge’s
federal trial on obstruction of
justice and perjury charges.
Burge is accused of lying
when he denied in a civil law-
suit that he and other detectives
had tortured suspects. He faces a
maximum of 45 years in prison
if convicted of all charges. He’s
pleaded not guilty to the charges
and is free on bond.
Burge was fired by the
police department in 1993 for
mistreatment of a suspect, but
no charges were filed.
Holmes testified that Burge
and several officers rousted
him from bed early on May 29,
1973, and took him to the Area
2 police station on Chicago’s
South Side to question him
about a murder.
Once there, he said Burge

The Landeck Community
Committee had redone the
landscaping a year ago with a
circular stone wall, a match-
ing concrete center and new
landscaping.
The committee, with
money raised from various
projects and donations, has
also erected the large lighted

nity. The town’s name is
on the marker along with a
star showing its location in

cuffed his wrists and ankles, put
plastic bags over his head and
attached wires to his body so
an electric current could be sent
through them.
“(It was) like a thousand nee-
dles going through my body,”
Holmes said, emotion in his
voice. “I thought I had died.”
After several rounds of pass-
ing out and being revived by
Burge, he said he agreed to sign
a confession to the murder to
get the abuse to stop. He was
later convicted and served 30
years in prison.
Holmes said the abuse still
gives him nightmares and he
feels withdrawn and helpless.
The founder of a South Side
gang involved in a string of rob-
beries in the 1970s, Holmes said
he got the nickname “Satan”
when he was 2 years old after he
threw his older brother’s pants
in the dirt.
Earlier Wednesday, pros-
ecutors and defense attorneys
gave their opening statements,
painting conflicting portraits
of Burge as either a secretive
and zealous torturer or a heroic
Vietnam vet who fought to keep
the streets safe.
BP: Effort to plug Gulf
oil spill going as planned
By GREG BLUESTEIN
The Associated Press
ROBERT, La. — BP started
pumping heavy mud into the
leaking Gulf of Mexico well
Wednesday and said every-
thing was going as planned in
the company’s boldest attempt
yet to plug the gusher that has
spewed millions of gallons of
oil over the last five weeks.
BP hoped the mud could
overpower the steady stream
of oil, but chief executive
Tony Hayward said it would
be at least 24 hours before
officials know whether the
attempt worked. The compa-
ny wants to eventually inject
cement into the well to seal it.
“I’m sure many of you have
been watching the plume,”
Hayward said of the live video
stream of the leak. “All I can
say is it is unlikely to give us
any real indication of what is
going on. Either increases or
decreases are not an indicator
of either success or failure at
this time.”
The stakes are high.
Fishermen, hotel and restau-
rant owners, politicians and
residents along the coast are
fed up with BP’s so far inef-
fective attempts to stop the
leak that sprang after an off-
shore drilling rig exploded
April 20. Eleven workers
were killed, and by the most
conservative estimate, 7 mil-
lion gallons of crude have
spilled into the Gulf, fouling
Louisiana’s marshes, coating
birds and other wildlife and
curtailing fishing.

we can to bring it to closure,

The top kill has worked

beneath the sea. Company
officials peg its chance of suc-
cess at 60 to 70 percent.
President Barack Obama
said “there’s no guarantees”
it will work. The president
planned a trip to Louisiana on
Friday.
“We’re going to bring
every resource necessary to
put a stop to this thing,” he
said.
Engineers planned to mon-
itor the well overnight and
continue pumping in thou-
sands of gallons of the drilling
fluid, which is about twice as
heavy as water.
“The absence of any news
is good news,” said Coast
Guard Admiral Thad Allen,
who is overseeing the opera-
tion. He added: “It’s a wait
and see game here right now,
so far nothing unfavorable.”
Meanwhile, dozens of wit-
ness statements obtained by
The Associated Press show
a combination of equipment
failures and a deference to the
chain of command impeded
the system that should have
stopped the gusher before
it became an environmental
disaster.
The live video stream
Wednesday showed pictures
of the blowout preventer and
oil gushing out. At other times,
the feed showed mud spewing
out, but BP said this was not
cause for alarm.
A weak spot in the blow-
out preventer could give way
under the pressure, causing a
brand new leak.
Frustration with BP and the

also extends the ban to health
insurance plans outside state
exchanges that operate with-
in Oklahoma.
Henry, a Democrat, said
the legislation would punish
victims of rape or incest by
prohibiting insurance cover-
age for an abortion if they did
not report the crime within a
certain time period.
“Rape and incest victims
should be treated with digni-
ty and respect, not subjected
to a state-imposed Catch-22
that denies them insurance
coverage at such a critical
time,” Henry said in his veto
message. “HB 3290 creates

federal government has only
grown since efforts to stop the
leak have failed.
Louisiana Gov. Bobby
Jindal and Plaquemines Parish
President Billy Nungesser,
both outspoken critics, led a
boat tour around the oil-fouled
delta near the mouth of the
Mississippi River. Some 100
miles of Louisiana coastline
had been hit by the oil, the
Coast Guard said.
Through the Mississippi’s
South Pass, there were miles-
long passages that showed
no indication of oil, and the
air smelled fresh and salty.
Nearby, fish were leaping and
tiny seabirds dove into the
water.
But not far away at Pass a
Loutre, the oily water smelled
like an auto shop.
“There’s no wildlife in
Pass a Loutre. It’s all dead,”
Nungesser said.
BP has had some suc-
cess in siphoning oil from
a mile-long tube, which has
sucked up 924,000 gallons of
oil since it was installed last
week. Engineers, though, had
to move the device during the
top kill.
The Coast Guard also said
only a small amount of disper-
sants were used Wednesday in
an effort to reduce the chemi-
cals in the Gulf, but crews
were continuing the burn and
skim the oil off the surface.
Engineers are working on
backup plans in case the
procedure doesn’t work,
including a bid to cap the
well with a small contain-
ment dome. Suttles, for his
part, is trying to temper
expectations. He said it’s
too early to express opti-
mism about the top kill.
est court and would result
in an expensive lawsuit and
potentially futile legal battle
for the state.”
Since Obama signed
health care legislation in
March, at least two states
— Arizona and Tennessee —
have enacted laws restricting
abortion coverage by health
plans in new insurance mar-
kets, called exchanges. The
exchanges will be set up start-
ing in 2014 to serve individu-
als and small businesses.
McNiel said she wasn’t
surprised the governor
vetoed the bill. She planned
to discuss with House leaders
whether lawmakers should
try to override the veto
before Friday’s deadline for
the Legislature to adjourn.
