Autopsies planned for Ohio gunman, 7 others killedBY KANTELE FRANKOAnd THOMAS J. SHEERAN

The Associated Press

COPLEY Autopsies wereexpected to begin today for sevenpeople killed in a small northeastOhio town during a shooting rampageby a gunman who died in a gunfightwith police.

Investigators combed throughthree homes and searched outsideanother in a wooded, residential areaoutside Akron on Sunday, collect-ing evidence as they tried to piecetogether what led to the shootings thatshook a quiet neighborhood, leavingeight dead and one wounded.

Authorities did not release the con-

dition of the survivor who was hospi-talized, and they were withholdingthe names and ages of those involveduntil officers could tell victims fam-ily members, some of whom wereout of state, Copley police Sgt. EricGoodwin said.

The tragedy began before 11 a.m.when police say the gunman shot hisgirlfriend in one home, then ran to anext-door neighbors house, wherehe shot her brother and gunned downfour neighbors. He then chased fourpeople two through neighboringbackyards shooting one of thembefore bursting into a home on a

nearby road, where two others hadsought refuge.

Police said he shot his eighth vic-tim in that home and left, only to getinto a gunfight outside with a policeofficer and a citizen who had been a

police officer. The gunman, whosename was not released, was killed.Neighbors said the dead included

an 11-year-old boy and that at leastthree victims were from one family.A school official said he was toldtwo victims were students at the localhigh school.

Gilbert Elie, who has lived in theneighborhood for 11 years, heardthe gunshots and cries for help as hegot ready for church. In an accountthat differed slightly from the policeversion, Elie said he went to a houseacross the street and found thewoman who lived there lying in the

driveway, her husband shot near thegarage, and their granddaughter andanother woman shot in the front seatof a vehicle, the windows apparentlyblown out by gunfire.

A third woman came out of thehouse next door and tried to talk toElie, he said, but their brief exchangeended abruptly when a man followedher out of the house and shot her,sending the 76-year-old Elie runningfor safety behind a truck.

She was talking to me, and hecome up behind her and shot her, so Ifigured, maybe Im next, he told TheAssociated Press.

He hid until he could see the gun-man was gone, then returned home.Police arrived, and Elie said he heard

a second round of shots coming frombehind the houses and assumed offi-cers had killed the gunman.

Elie said his neighbors, Russ andGerdie Johnson, lived across thestreet. He said the ordeal has leftresidents of their well-kept neighbor-hood shaken and wondering whatprompted the shootings.

Theyre all in shock, said Elie.Public records show a Russell

Johnson, 67, and his wife Gudrun,64, live on the road where the shoot-ings occurred.

Elie described the gunman asgenerally unfriendly, a rarity on the

street, and said he often worked onhis car outside his house but neverwaved at anyone.

Police, who did not release infor-mation about the shooters motive,planned a news conference at noontoday.

The Akron Beacon Journal report-ed that Copley-Fairlawn SchoolSuperintendent Brian Poe said hewas told by a township trustee thattwo Copley High School studentswere killed and that a third youth, the11-year-old, was also killed. Poe saidthe trustee told him the 11-year-oldwas not a Copley student.

Some of the victims are fromout of state, Copley police Sgt. EricGoodwin said.

A person running through theneighborhood and firing a gun hadprompted calls to police, the CopleyPolice Department said in a newsrelease late Sunday.

Brian and Diane Cross said theywere riding on a motorcycle Sundaymorning when they heard a loud bangand saw a man with a gun chasinganother man. Brian Cross, 53, saidthey drove a half mile to a servicestation to call 911, but Copley policewas already on it, and they were fly-ing by us.

The neighborhood was blocked offby police Sunday.

She was talking tome, and he come upbehind her and shot

her, so I figured,maybe Im next.

BEIRUT Arab nations joined the international cho-rus of condemnation against

President Bashar Assadsregime today, with Bahrain,Kuwait and Saudi Arabiapulling out their ambassadorsas a besieged Syrian city cameunder fresh artillery fire.

The renewed violence inthe eastern city of Deir el-Zour comes a day after atleast 42 people were killedthere in an intensifying gov-ernment crackdown on pro-testers.

We heard very loudexplosions, and now theres

intermittent gunfire, anactivist in the city said, speak-ing on condition of anonym-ity for fear of reprisals. Hesaid people were too terri-fied to take the wounded togovernment hospitals, instead

treating them at home or inmakeshift hospitals.

The international commu-nity has sharply condemnedthe governments crackdown,imposing sanctions anddemanding an immediate endto the attacks. France andGermany renewed their con-demnation today.

But in a sign of grow-ing outrage, Syrias Arabneighbors joined the mount-ing criticism, voicing theirconcerns about a crackdown

that intensified on the eve ofthe holy month of Ramadan a time of introspectionand piety characterized by adawn-to-dusk fast.

Late Sunday, SaudiArabias king whose coun-

try does not tolerate dissentand lent its military troops torepress anti-government pro-tests in neighboring Bahrain said he was recalling hisambassador in Damascus forconsultations, and demandedan end to the killing machineand bloodshed.

Any sane Arab, Muslimor anyone else knows thatthis has nothing to do withreligion, or ethics or mor-als; spilling the blood of theinnocent for any reasons orpretext leads to no path to ...hope, King Abdullah said ina statement.

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) International military forcesworked today to recover everylast piece of a Chinook heli-

copter that crashed over theweekend, killing 30 Americantroops, seven Afghan soldiersand an Afghan interpreter,NATO said.

German Brig. Gen. CarstenJacobson, a spokesman for theU.S.-led coalition, told report-ers that troops had secured thecrash site in a rugged area ofeastern Wardak province andnobody was being allowed inor out of the area while theinvestigation was ongoing.

Jacobson said the coalitionstill had not yet determined theexact cause of the crash, butsome officials have said theheavy and lumbering transport

helicopter was apparently shotdown. Officials said the heli-copter was hit as it was flyingin and approaching the area.

We are still investigatingthis incident so we have nopicture of what was the causefor the incident. That is whatthe investigation is basicallyall about, Jacobson said.

The helicopter was ferry-ing a group of Navy SEALsto reinforce a group of ArmyRangers who were under

fire. It remains unclear if theRangers and SEALs were tak-ing part in a night raid tocapture or kill an insurgentleader.

It was deadliest single lossfor U.S. forces in the decade-long war.

Another NATO helicoptermade a hard landing today ineastern Paktia province, theU.S.-led coalition said. It didnot report any casualties andsaid the cause of the hardlanding was under investiga-tion. The coalition said therewas no enemy activity in thearea at the time.

The helicopter was a CH-47

of the same type that crashedon Saturday. It was flying into pick up special operationstroops, but apparently suf-fered a mechanical failure andcrash landed, an officer in thewar zone said. He could notbe named because he was notauthorized to comment pub-licly. The crew was rescued

by the troops.The fatal crash on Saturday

highlights the risks confront-ing the U.S.-led coalition as

it looks to rely more on spe-cial operations forces whilereducing the overall numberof troops in Afghanistan bythe end of 2014.

A current and a former U.S.official said the Americansincluded 22 SEALs, three AirForce members and a doghandler and his dog. The twospoke on condition of ano-nymity because military offi-cials were still notifying thefamilies of the dead.

All but two of the SEALswere from SEAL Team 6, theunit that killed Osama binLaden in Pakistan last May,officials said on condition

of anonymity because theywere not authorized to releasethe information. None of theSEALs killed in the crashtook part in the bin Ladenmission.

Eight Taliban fighterswere also killed in the battle,Taliban spokesman ZabiullahMujahid said in a statement.

As a registered nurse for St. Ritas Medical Center, Jennifer sees first-

hand the many benefits associated with robotic surgery. By the time she

begins working post-operatively with her patients, most are already well

on their way to recovery.

What makes this possible is the use

of much smaller incisions instead of

the major incision usually associated

with these procedures. The smaller incisions carry less risk of

complications and cause less pain and scarring. That means patients

can look forward to a quicker return to the things they love.

IRONTON (AP) Lawmakers and others invest-ed in southern Ohios econo-my say the state should workwith neighboring Kentuckyand West Virginia to help theregion realize the shippingpotential of the Ohio River.

The tri-state area shoulddevelop a port authority thatviews the river as a global logis-tics center, Patrick Donovan,of the Rahall AppalachianTransportation Institute, toldThe Columbus Dispatch(http://bit.ly/pjVAGH).

We are kind of in the cat-bird seat. We just have to put it

all together, he said.We need an understand-

ing that, if a manufacturingfacility lands here in LawrenceCounty, Ohio, West Virginiansare going to work here. Wereno longer competing across theriver; our competition is nowglobal.

Those working to developthe rivers economic potentialmet last week at an Ohio RiverSummit hosted by a group ofstate lawmakers.

State Rep. Terry Johnson, aRepublican from McDermott,said the state has neglectedthe rivers potential. He alsoencouraged regional partner-ships.

We need to cooperate andcollaborate in ways we neverhave before, he told TheDispatch.

The river system moves63 million tons of commodi-ties valued at $7.4 billion to,from and within Ohio, saidBill Dingus, of the LawrenceEconomic Development Corp.

Id say weve scratched thesurface with potential. Werenot at 15 percent of potentialwithin the area of freight, hesaid. Those companies tied tothe river for raw materials arethe highest salary companiesin our region. People dontrealize the real jobs that are

Its hard to find much evi-dence of relevance so far thisyear. As Congress left forits August recess, the presi-dent had signed only 27 billsinto law since this sessionopened in January. Some,such as the just-passed billto raise the debt ceiling anda bill to extend Patriot Act

provisions, were important.But most were more routine five bills to name postoffices or federal buildings,three to name members of theSmithsonian board of regentsand four to keep federal air-port operations running.

Arguably, not one con-tributed to job growth.Republicans say that spend-ing cuts in a 2011 budget actand the debt act will stimulatethe private sector. Democrats

retort that reductions in fed-eral investment in infrastruc-ture and new technology arejob killers.

The two parties were quickto blame each other when theLabor Department announcedFriday that the unemploy-ment rate in July was 9.1percent, barely changed fromthe previous month.

Obama has previouslycalled on Congress to putaside the blame game longenough to act on the pat-ent and trade bills. Thereare also things that Congresscould do right now that willhelp create good jobs. Right

now, Congress can send me abill that would make it easierfor entrepreneurs to patent anew product or idea, he saidat a June 29 news confer-ence.

Right now, he added,Congress can advancea set of trade agreementsthat would allow Americanbusinesses to sell more oftheir goods and services tocountries in Asia and SouthAmerica.

The patent bill will be atthe top of the agenda whenthe Senate reconvenes inSeptember. The first majoroverhaul of the patent sys-

tem since 1952 has alreadypassed both the Senate andthe House by wide margins,and the Senate will be tryingto agree to the similar Houseversion and send it to thepresident for his signature.

The main intent of the pat-ent bill is to streamline asystem that has resulted in abacklog of 1.2 million pend-ing patents and ensure thatthe Patent and TrademarkOffice has adequate fund-

ing. It also would switchthe United States from thefirst-to-invent system nowin effect to the first-to filesystem for patent applicationsused by all other industrial-ized countries.

Supporters say the first-to-file system creates cer-tainty about patent owner-ship and reduce costly litiga-tion. Job creation will be ahappy byproduct, they pre-dict. Patent reform will bea boost to intellectual prop-erty industries that accountfor more than a half of U.S.exports, said House JudiciaryCommittee Chairman Lamar

Smith, R-Texas. Theseindustries also provide mil-lions of Americans with well-paying jobs.

Smiths Democratic part-ner in the Senate, JudiciaryCommittee Chairman PatrickLeahy of Vermont, agreed:This is a jobs bill when oureconomy needs it most.

The trade agreementswith South Korea, Colombia,and Panama could have aneven more direct impact on jobs. The administrationsays that ratification of theKorea agreement alone couldmean 70,000 new jobs fromincreased exports, with more jobs possible from opening

up Koreas service market toAmerican firms.

The three deals willincrease exports by $13 bil-lion annually and create jobshere at home, and thats whyweve been fighting so hardto get it done, said SenateFinance Committee ChairmanMax Baucus, D-Mont. Somelabor groups disagree, sayingfree trade agreements make iteasier for U.S. companies toship jobs overseas.

Congress could passjobs-creating bills

By TOM RAUMAssociated Press

WASHINGTON Angerat the nations leaders for tak-ing so long to strike a debt-ceiling deal has turned intohigh anxiety over jobs andthe economy amid growingfears of a new recession.

The news that credit ratingagency Standard & Poorsdowngraded the nationscredit rating a notch for thefirst time ever only added tothe tension.

The darkening clouds comein what should have beena good week for PresidentBarack Obama. After all,he and Republican leadersfinally ended a months-longgame of brinkmanship with abipartisan agreement to raisethe governments debt ceilingand to trim spending.

The deal kept the gov-ernment from beginning torun out of cash last Tuesday,averting a first-ever U.S.default and a possible globalfinancial meltdown.

And there was a relativelygood jobs report on Friday.

But applause for the debt-limit deal or the increase injobs never came.

In fact, stock marketsaround the world tumbledduring the week as grim neweconomic figures suggested

the U.S. recovery has stalledand as debt default tensions

climbed in Europe.Terms of the deal to

extend the U.S. governmentsborrowing authority and trimfederal spending contributedto investor angst. Many econ-omists suggest the debt-limitmeasure could even windup making economic prob-lems worse if belt-tighteningspending cuts coincide with anew recession.

And the Standard & Poorsdowngrade late Friday castnew doubts on the value ofthe U.S. debt-limit deal. Thecredit rating agency said itwas cutting the countrys topAAA rating by one notchto AA-plus because the defi-cit reduction plan passedby Congress did not go farenough to stabilize the coun-trys debt situation.

As to that downgrade,economists suggested itmight not have much actualimpact, noting that the cred-it ratings of Japan, Canadaand Australia had also beendowngraded in recent yearswith few economic conse-quences.

And in the past few days,investors have been fleeingstock and commodity mar-kets for the perceived safetyof U.S. Treasury bonds andbills.

Thats a dramatic aboutface, since just a few daysago, global investors wereworried that a U.S. default on

its debt would end the long-standing status of Treasurys

as the worlds safest-haveninvestments.Investors have voted and

are saying the U.S. is goingto pay them, Mark Zandi,chief economist of MoodysAnalytics. Despite the S&Pdowngrade Friday night,U.S. Treasurys are still thegold standard, he said.

Zandi noted that neitherhis parent organization,Moodys, nor Fitch, the otherof the three major ratingagencies, has downgradedU.S. debt.

I dont think it (theS&P downgrade) is goingto amount to a lot, saidPeter Morici, a University

of Maryland business econo-mist. Still, Morici said, TheUnited States deserves tohave this happen, because ofits clumsy handling of eco-nomic policy.

Fridays jobs report anet increase of 117,000 new jobs in July and an unem-ployment rate ticking downto 9.1 percent from 9.2 per-cent in June was betterthan expected by forecasters,but it did little to ease fearsof a new recession. The job-less rate now has exceeded 9percent in all but two monthssince the recession officiallyended in June 2009.

Recent reports suggest theeconomy is slowing to a near-stall.

LONDON (AP) Globalstock markets sank again todayas worries about the down-grade of U.S. debt outweighedrelief at a European CentralBank pledge to buy up Italianand Spanish bonds to help thetwo countries avoid devastat-ing defaults.

European markets lost earlymomentum and most were trad-ing sharply lower amid mount-ing fears over the opening of

U.S. markets, when traderswill have their first chance torespond to Standard & Poorsdecision to lower its triple Arating for the U.S.

Investors remain worriedabout the state of the worldeconomy and policymak-ers ability to deal with theEuropean debt crisis, said NeilMacKinnon, global macrostrategist at VTB Capital.

Investors are concernedabout a rising risk of globalrecession, credit downgradesespecially now in the eurozone,such as France, the threat of amajor bank bust and a globalliquidity trap as investors stayin cash, MacKinnon said.

Those concerns trumpedany relief European mar-kets got from the sharp fallin Italian and Spanish bondyields after the EuropeanCentral Bank said it wouldbuy the two countries bondsin order to help them avoiddevastating defaults. The yieldon Italys ten-year bonds fell0.66 percentage point to 5.32percent while Spains tumbled0.82 percentage point to 5.22percent.

In Europe, Britains FTSE100 index of leading Britishshares was down 1.7 percentat 5,160 while Frances CAC-40 fell 2 percent to 3,214.

Germanys DAX was 2.3 per-cent lower at 6,096.Sentiment in Europe has

not been helped at all by theexpected sell-off at the U.S.open Dow futures weredown 2.1 percent at 11,167while the broader Standard &Poors 500 futures fell 2.4 per-cent to 1,168.

Policymakers around theworld, many on holiday, aretrying to come up with a strat-egy to shore up market worriesover the global economy andthe levels of debt in the U.S.and Europe.

Late Sunday, Europes cen-tral bank said it would active-ly implement its bond-buying

program to calm investor con-cerns that Italy and Spain wontbe able to pay their debts. Lastweek, worries over the twocountries ability to keep tap-ping bond markets contributedto the turmoil in global mar-kets, which saw around $1.5trillion wiped off share prices.

Seeking to avert panicspreading across financial mar-kets, the finance ministers andcentral bankers of the Groupof 20 industrial and develop-ing world also issued a jointstatement today saying theywere committed to taking allnecessary measures to supportfinancial stability and growth.

We will remain in closecontact throughout the comingweeks and cooperate as appro-priate, ready to take action toensure financial stability andliquidity in financial markets,they said.

So far, the S&P downgradedoesnt seem to be having toomuch of an impact on U.S.government bonds, knownas Treasuries. The worry hasbeen that the downgrade wouldprompt investors to demandmore, but the yield on ten-yearTreasuries has actually fallen.

Job worries surge as debt-limit recedes

DONNA GORDONBLANKINSHIPAssociated Press

Education Secretary ArneDuncan says he will announcea new waiver system today togive schools a break fromstudent testing mandates inthe federal No Child LeftBehind law.

Critics say the benchmarksare unrealistic and brandschools as failures even if

they make progress. Schoolsand districts where too fewkids pass the tests for sev-eral years are subject to sanc-tions that can include firingteachers or closing the schoolentirely.

State and local educationofficials have been beggingthe federal government forrelief from the mandates,but school starts soon andCongress still hasnt answeredthe call.

The plan to offer waiv-ers to all 50 states, as long

as they meet other schoolreform requirements, comesat the request of PresidentBarack Obama, Duncan said.More details on the waiverswill come in September, hesaid.

The goal of the No ChildLeft Behind law is to haveevery student proficient inmath and reading by 2014.States have been required tobring more students up tothe math and reading stan-

dards each year, based ontests that usually take placeeach spring. The step-by-stepramping up of the 9-year-old law has caused stress instates and most school dis-tricts, because more and moreschools are labeled as failuresas too few of their studentsmeet testing goals.

Through the waivers,schools will get some relieffrom looming deadlines tomeet testing goals as long asthey agree to embrace otherkinds of education reforms

such as raising standards,helping teachers and princi-pals improve, and focusingon fixing the lowest perform-ing schools.

Duncan and MelodyBarnes, director of theDomestic Policy Council atthe White House, said theadministration will encourageevery state to apply and willwork with them to meet therequirements.

Nothing in this plan fortemporary relief from someaspects of the federal law willundermine what Congress isstill discussing in terms ofrevising federal educationlaws, Duncan said. The long-awaited overhaul of the lawbegan earlier this year in theU.S. House, but a compre-hensive reform appears farfrom the finish line.

What we do in terms offlexibility can be a bridgeor transition, he said. Weall want to fix the law. Thismight help us get closer tothat.

We qualified fordistricts as a team lastyear. This year, withthe returning letter-winners, we shouldsee great strides inour game and finishwell; we have highexpectations for a lotof success this year,Klausing noted.

With only Ryan Edelbrockand James Klausing gone viagraduation from last yearsgroup, Coach Klausing willbuild this years campaignaround third-year varsity play-ers in senior Cody Kundert,senior Isaac Klausing, seniorEric Bergfeld and junior NickKayser.

As well, three otherslettered a year ago: juniorCole Fischbach, junior Craig

Klausing and junior Sean

Flanagan.Coach Klausing will have

six more participants on hisunit to provide depth andcompetition in 2011: seniorMatthew Warnecke, seniorAnthony Buzzard, juniorAaron Miller (lettered as a

freshman), junior DrewWagner, sophomoreT.J Hoersten andfreshman Jordan

Keirns.Assisting Klausing

in the coaching ranksare Jim Warnecke,Tom Rekart and

RURAL MIDDLE POINT Kevin Losh begins his10th year at the helm of theDivision III Lincolnviewboys golf team.

Last years team was inex-perienced from the start as hehad to replace six letterwin-ners from the season before.

This year, he has abit more experiencereturning with threelettermen backfrom a 4-27 editionin 2010.

Junior Brooks

Ludwig, soph-omore TroyPatterson andsophomore Logan Millerare back for the Blue andYellow.

However, for Losh toimprove his overall coachingmark of 224-151, he mustreplace the top linkster from ayear ago, Taylor Hoehn.

He was a 3-year letter-winner, too. The veterans wedo have are still young, withno seniors, Losh asserted.Behind them are newcom-ers to the varsity level. Howquickly they become accus-tomed to the varsity level in

golf, gain experience in howyou have to play at this leveland how to play it the rightway will be key.

Losh lost only one othergolfer to graduation last fall:Zach Kreischer.

He will be depending onthe likes of promising new-comers in senior Wes Collins,freshman Damon Nortonand freshman Justis Dowdyto compete with the likes ofLima Central Catholic andthe rest of the NorthwestConference.

Most coaches will say thes a m ething at

this point:their golfers have

to improve everyday in every aspect

of game and coursemanagement and havefun. Were no different, headded.

The Lancer boys will hosta pair of matches this week tobegin the 2011 campaign: 10a.m. Tuesday versus St. Johnsand 9 a.m. Thursday in the9-team Lancer Invitational.Teams involved includeLincolnview, Crestview,

Antwerp, Ft. Jennings,Ottoville, Leipsic, St. Henry,Columbus Grove and MillerCity.

All home matches are atHickory Sticks Golf Club inVan Wert.

LONG POND, Pa. BradKeselowski was inspiredSunday by a relative in theNavy Seals and that was allhe needed to push through hispainful ankle injury.

Keselowskis cousin losta friend who was one of30 American service mem-bers who died when theirhelicopter was shot downduring fighting in easternAfghanistan. The NASCARdriver took the sacrifice to

heart and vowed he wouldnot leave his car no matterhow bad he hurt.

So Keselowski went outand raced all 500 miles of theSprint Cup stop at PoconoRaceway with a broken leftankle.

As if that wasnt enough,he somehow managed to win,too.

Competing with a braceon his ankle, Keselowskisped off on the final restartlate in the race to pick up hissecond victory of the season.He gingerly climbed out ofhis car to celebrate with hiscrew in Victory Lane.

He dedicated the victory one that thrust him intoChase contention to thetroops in Afghanistan.

I might not be feelinggreat but those are the guysthat are really making sac-rifices, Keselowski said.Whenever I got in the carand felt like, man, this reallyhurts, it was good inspirationas to what it takes to man upand make it happen.

Keselowski was anunlikely winner after hecrashed head-on into a wallon Wednesday during a testsession at Road Atlanta. Heslammed a section of wall

at 100 mph and was forcedout of the Nationwide Seriesrace.

He insisted during prac-tice this weekend he wouldntleave the No. 2 Dodge, nomatter the aches and pain.

No relief driver was neces-sary, though Keselowski hadsome rest during a 1 hour,40-minute rain delay.

I was amazed he racedthe full race, third-place fin-

isher Kurt Busch said.Keselowskis victory

placed him in prime positionto claim one of two wild-cardspots available for the Chasefor the Championship. Thetop two drivers with the mostvictories in 11th to 20th placeearn a wild-card spot for theplayoffs.

Keselowski, in 18th place,is the only one of the wild-card contenders with twovictories. Only five racesremain until the field is set.The top 10 drivers in thepoints standings automatical-

ly qualify. Keselowski wonhis third career Cup race andfirst since he won in June atKansas.

Keselowski posted sev-eral updates on his injury thisweek on his Twitter page,including two photos thatshowed a swollen ankle andan abrasion on his foot. Hisbroken left ankle balloonedto the size of a softball andhe needed a left shoe a sizelarger than his right one.

I came here to win, hesaid. When you let the painget into your head that farthat you dont believe youcan win anymore, you cant

win the race.Kyle Busch was second,Jimmie Johnson fourth andRyan Newman fifth.

Kurt Busch and Johnsonhad a heated exchange afterthe race because of somelast-lap contact and had tobe separated by their crews.The star drivers took turnsbumping into each other onthe final lap. Busch said itwas simply hard racing andJohnson, the 5-time defend-ing Cup champion, overre-acted.

You want to race, letsrace, Busch added. I racedhim smart, raced him clean

and he wants to come backhere and (complain) about it.Why cant we race each otherlike this and put on a showfor the fans?

There was a racing triple-header after rain haltedthe Trucks Series race onSaturday and wiped out theARCA race. Kevin Harvickwon the Trucks race, TyDillon took ARCA andKeselowski capped it all with

his gutsy performance.Rain hit Pocono hard the

last two days and when thered flag came on lap 125,Joey Logano had the lead.

Logano faded hard after ablown tire and finished 26th.Points leader Carl Edwards,who signed a multi-yearextension with Roush FenwayRacing, was seventh.

Once the rain stopped,Kyle Busch build a sizablelead until it was wiped out ona final caution.

That was the openingKeselowski needed over the

final 16 laps and he tookadvantage even with onlyone good ankle.

Wilkerson ends yearlongwinless drought in NHRA:Tim Wilkerson ended ayearlong winless drought byracing to his third consecu-tive Funny Car title at theOReilly Auto Parts NHRANorthwest Nationals atPacific Raceways in Kent,Wash., on Sunday.

Wilkerson drove his FordMustang to a 4.146-secondrun at 300.53 mph to defeatJack Beckman, who finishedin 4.598 at 238.64.

Wilkerson also won here

Del Worsham (Top Fuel)and Jason Line (Pro Stock)also won their divisions.

Worsham earned his sixthvictory of the season and 31stof his career by outrunningTony Schumacher, postinga 3.891 at 316.38 to holdof Schumachers 3.915 at

313.95.Line took his fourth ProStock win of the season and25th of his career by beatingteammate Greg Anderson,making a pass in 6.553 and210.87 to defeat Anderson,who trailed with a 6.567 at211.13.

International Raceway.Dixon pulls away to win

Mid-Ohio IndyCar: Therewere no hand signals angry or friendly whenScott Dixon passed team-mate Dario Franchitti to takethe lead for good during arestart 24 laps from the fin-ish of Sundays IndyCar raceat Mid-Ohio in Lexington,Ohio.

That was as close as thetwo Target Chip Ganassidrivers would come againuntil parking on pit row afterDixon streaked to a comfort-

able win to again show hismastery over the tight andtreacherous road course atMid-Ohio.

Franchitti was coming outof pit row under a yellow flagon lap 61 when he pinchedin on Dixon as he was com-ing out of the home straight.Dixon took the edge, foughtoff several close calls in thenext few laps and then wasnever headed.

Franchitti was pleasedthat, if he couldnt take thecheckered flag, it was histeammate who did. He alsosaid the pass at the end of thefirst straight was critical.

The New Zealander alwaysseems to be on fire when

he visits the twisty 2.258-

mile road course between

Cleveland and Columbus.

The victory gave Dixon wins

at Mid-Ohio in the last three

odd-numbered years in the

IndyCar races five years.

It was the first win of the

season for the 2-time IndyCar

Series champion. Franchitti

continues to lead the driv-

ers standings by 62 points

over Will Power, who start-

ed fourth but finished 14th.

Dixon crept within 29 pointsof Power.

Ryan Hunter-Reay wasthird.

Dixon dominated qualify-ing to capture his first pole ofthe season and led the earlyportion of the race. Thenhe stayed on leader James

Hinchcliffes tail from lap 28

to lap 53. He was in no hurry

whatsoever. Hinchcliffe, arookie, shrewdly delayed hisfirst pit stop.

fading Pittsburgh Pirates fin-ished up the worst homestandin their 125-year history andlost their 10th straight gameoverall, beaten by Mat Latos(6-11) and the San DiegoPadres 7-3 Sunday.

Latos mastery continuedthe misery for the Pirates,who completed an 0-7 stayat PNC Park against the last-place Padres and ChicagoCubs, two teams that werea combined 39 games under.500 when the week began.

Pittsburgh was winlesson a homestand of at leastseven games for the first timein franchise history, STATS

Kansas City in May 2006.The Pirates, in first place

in the NL Central on July26, were outscored 59-25 bythe Cubs and Padres. Thebad week came after they gotswept in Philadelphia.

A day after the Piratesheld a players-only meetingfollowing a 13-2 loss, theytrailed 7-0 going into the bot-tom of the eighth.

Kevin Correia (12-10)allowed one run on three hitsthrough 5 2/3 innings beforerunning into 2-out trouble inthe sixth. He was chargedwith four runs on five hitsand four walks, falling to 2-8

Tim Lincecum stayed sharpuntil getting hit in the rightknee by Chase Utleys bound-ing bat and the San FranciscoGiants ended Philadelphiasseason-high 9-game winningstreak, tagging Roy Oswaltand beating the Phillies.

Jeff Keppinger had fourhits as the Giants spoiledOswalts return from theDL. San Francisco avoided a4-game sweep in a matchupof NL division leaders.

Lincecum (10-9) wentdown in the eighth inningwhen Utley accidentally losthis grip and the bat skitteredtoward the mound. Utley went

out to check on Lincecum,who handed back the bat,walked it off and stayed inthe game. Utley then hit a1-out single. Utleys act ofsportsmanship was a farcry from the bench-clearingbrawl between the clubsFriday night.

Lincecum left later in theeighth after Hunter Pencereached with two outs onfirst baseman Aubrey Huffs

The Delphos Herald

LIMA For the secondweek in a row, a rare eventin motorsports, nearly exclu-sive to Limaland MotorsportsPark, saw a University ofNorthwestern Ohio athleticmotorsports driver win anA-Main feature.

This time, it was in a K &N UMP Modified as Racerteam driver Kody Weisnermade a late race pass on oneof LMPs greatest names inthe division, multi-time for-mer champion Terry Hull.It marked the fourth time inRacer history for an A-Mainfeature win and the secondfor Weisner, a winner lastseason in a stock car.

Weisners conquest is evenmore impressive as four ofthe most successful drivers inModifieds started in front ofhim. Hull, points leader ToddSherman and former featurewinners Jerry Bowersock andCasey Luedeke all had simi-lar intentions as Weisner, yetbetter starting positions.

Hull bolted to the frontwhen the green flag droppedwith fellow outside row start-ers Bowersock and Weisnermoving behind him. A pairof cautions, brought on byflat tires to Nick Rosselitand Andy Bibler, set up arestart on lap 13 with Hull,Bowersock, Weisner, polestarter Luedeke and Shermanracing nose-to-tail.

Weisner drove fearlesslyon the dangerous high sidecushion as it gave him excel-lent speed. Earlier in the sea-son, Weisner was running atthe front of a feature when hecrashed into the unforgivingwall in turn 3. Hull, taking alower line around the 1/4-mileoval, had a shorter distance tocover. Finally on lap 15, theMuskegon, Michigan under-graduate simply poweredhis way around Hull comingthru turn 2. The dominatingmove brought the usual bigLimaland Motorsports Parkcrowd to its feet in approval.

At that point, I just toldmyself dont overdrive andthats all I could do, recalledWeisner.

The final five circuits ofthe 20-lap event saw Weisner

roar to the victory, with Hulland Bowersock followinghim across the line. The col-lective Racer Motorsportsathletic team members ranacross the track from the pit

area to celebrate on the frontstraight winners circle. Itwas a particularly emotionalwin for Weisner as his grand-father passed away just twodays earlier.

This is for him, saidWeisner. He was there forme since day one. He boughtme a go-cart, just a little yard

cart back in 97 and reallystarted me racing at aboutage 9 or 10. It has progressedto this and seeing what thisschool (UNOH) is about, thisis me.

Racer athletic motorsportsteam membership has devel-oped into coveted positionsfor the students, hailing fromall across the United States.

These guys are awesome.I cant thank them enoughfor putting up with us driv-ers as we sometimes tear upthis stuff, declared Weisner.Driving is easy when theseguys do all of this for us.With the set-up and hours weput in with the cars, workingtogether as a team, its awe-some.

The Elwer Fence Sprints25-lap feature saw the sea-sons top performer KyleSauder earn a pole startingposition and it served as aset-up for himself and fellowfront row starter JR Stewartto dominate the event.

Stewart moved to the leadwith Sauder and Caleb Helmssticking to him for the open-ing 15 laps. 2010 track cham-pion Stewart was fashioninga high line around the track,making it nearly impossiblefor Sauder to move into alead position. Finally on lap16, Sauder decided to dropdown in the corners and itproved to be successful. Hegained on Stewart and madethe defining pass throughturn 2 on lap 16.

Following a restart onlap 21, Sauder proceeded tofloor the throttle on the #7Kmachine and stormed to histhird feature win of the sea-son at the track. He also cap-tured the Ohio Sprint Speedweek event at LMP in an All-Star Circuit of Champions410 Sprint car on June 24.It was Sauders 10th careerfeature win at the track.

Last Saturday, I burned

off my tires and lost the raceat Eldora, said Sauder. TheGood Lord told me to slowdown as slower is fastersometimes. It showed tonightas we saved our tires and

looked up at the end. Therewas good clean racing withJR (Stewart) but this is amuch-needed victory for us. Ithank Dave Jessup for puttingthis motor back together afterblowing it up a few weeksago.

The 15-lap BudweiserThunderstocks feature pro-

duced a first-time seasonwinner as Shawn Valenti ofLima controlled the 19-carfield with a dominate flag-to-flag performance. Lastweeks winner, UNOH RacerMatthew Custer, was oustedwith a flat tire just three lapsinto the race. Fellow RacerJosh Ulrich, runner-up toCuster a week ago, producedanother impressive outingas he navigated to the frontand eventually finished in thesecond position again.

Its nice that Ill be inthe King of the Quarter Mile,its prestigious and for stockcars its something else, saidValenti. I could see tonight

that the cushion was the placeto be as the bottom was start-ing to get slicked up; it is ourstyle to run up there. I thankthe Babcocks for letting merun this car.

It was Valentis thirdcareer feature win at LimalandMotorsports Park.

many media around himafter the tournament endedthat all anyone could see wasthe Titleist cap not thefamiliar Nike TW brand on his head.

Woods shot a 70 to tie for37th, 18 shots behind, andhis interview transcript was

only 1 1/2 pages. Williamsdidnt hit a shot all day anda transcript of his interviewwas nearly twice as long.

Even more shocking washow Williams described thefeeling.

Ive caddied for 33 years 145 wins now andthats the best win Ive everhad, Williams told CBSSports on the 18th green.This from a guy whose 12years working for Woodsfeatured 13 majors and 16world titles among 72 winsworldwide. That includes the2001 Masters, when Woodswon an unprecedented fourth

straight major.Scott didnt seem to mindthat Williams commentbecame a bigger story thanthe 31-year-old Australiangoing the final 26 holes with-out a bogey for a win thatmoved him up to No. 9 inthe world.

As for the distraction?Scott is used to it by now.Williams first worked forhim at the U.S. Open, the firststep toward Woods decid-

ing to end the partnership,and he has been houndedby questions all week aboutusing Woods former caddieand how much a difference itwould make for him.

It added another chapterto a saga that never seemsto end with Woods. His left

leg looked good all week.His scores were pedestrianbut there were signs that hisgame is not terribly far off.And yet the week ends withhim being mocked.

Lost in this soap operawas a strong golf tournamentand a command performancenot only by Scott, but play-ers chasing him, including19-year-old Ryo Ishikawa,No. 1 Luke Donald andRickie Fowler.

Scott and Ishikawa weretied for a big part of thefront nine and Scott took a1-shot lead the same onehe started out with on Sunday

into the back nine.Fowler had a bogey-freeround of 66. Donald also hada 66 and wound up tied forsecond with Fowler.

Ishikawa made a bogeyon the final hole for a 69 andtied for fourth his bestfinish in America withJason Day.

Scott finished at 17-under263, the lowest score to winat Firestone since Woods had259 in 2000 in an 11-shot

win.Reno-Tahoe OpenRENO, Nev. Scott

Piercy hit a 7-foot par putton the 616-yard closing holein the Reno-Tahoe Open onSunday for a 2-under-par 70to beat Pat Perez by onestroke at 16-under 273.

Piercy had led by threestrokes with only seven holesto go. That edge dwindledto one after he bogeyed andPerez carded consecutivebirdies.

Piercy started the weekranked 142nd on the moneylist with $365,162 butnow will see his earningsapproach $1 million for thesecond time. The first nativeNevadan to win the 13-year-old tourney also locked upa spot in next weeks PGAChampionship.

Perez shot a 68 to finishat 274, his third runner-upfinish to go with one career

tour victory.Steve Flesch, who wonthe 2007 Reno-Tahoe Open,shot a 68 on Sunday. BlakeAdams had a 69 to tie forthird, another stroke back.Jim Renner shot a 68 to claimfifth place at 12 under.

Steve Elkington and first-round leader Nick OHernboth closed with 71s to finishin a group another two strokesback with Matt McQuillan(66) and Ben Martin (69).

3M ChampionshipBLAINE, Minn. Jay

Haas finally 2-putted fromabout 30 feet for birdie onthe final hole of the 3MChampionship Sunday, beat-ing Tom Lehman, KennyPerry and Peter Senior byone shot. It was his first tour

victory in two years.Haas started the day one

shot behind Senior and JohnHuston and had a 68 to finishat 15-under 201, the highestwinning score at the tourna-ment since 2006.

Hal Sutton (67) fin-ished two shots back andTom Watson (65) and MarkOMeara (68) were threebehind. Watson made a70-foot eagle putt on the finalhole, which was statisticallythe easiest hole all week.

Huston and Olin Brownewere among a group of nineplayers to finish at 11 under.

Browne, who won last

weeks U.S. Senior Open andstarted the day 10 shots offthe pace, shot the days lowround, a 9-under 63.

Nationwide TourOMAHA, Neb. J.J.

Killeen shot a 3-under 69 towin for the second straightweek on the Nationwide

Tour, 2-putting from 90 feeton the final hole to avoida 5-way playoff at the CoxClassic on Sunday.

The former TCU star sanka 5-footer at the last to fin-ish at 22-under 262, edgingJonas Blixt (64), Ken Duke(66), Gary Christian (65)and former U.S. Amateurchampion Danny Lee (66) atChampions Run.

Lee was in the final group

with Killeen and holed a15-foot birdie to tie the club-house leaders and put pres-sure on Killeen.
