OTTOVILLE — After 37

Ron Miller has made the dif-
ficult decision to retire this
year.
Miller’s father was a fire-
fighter and ran with the EMS
before they started the one

father.
“It was good to help the
people out, having people
come up and thank you after
you’ve made a run and thank
you for what you’ve done.
That’s pretty much reward
enough,” Miller said with a
smile.
Miller talked about how
hard the first death was and
how he hasn’t forgotten it.
He went on to say that when
dealing with the death of an
older person it is difficult but
it is the hardest when you lose
the young ones.
A phone system is what
used to be in place when there
was an emergency. Miller

For The Record

Miller OBITUARIES The Delphos
(Continued from page 1) or the EMS. This meant that

They could have everything

they needed ready to go when
they reached the scene.”
Ottoville still has the sys-
tem but they stopped using
it about five or six years ago.
The departments went to an
on-call system where every-
one volunteers for certain
shifts. Miller feels that the
new system works well but
the personal touch is lost as
well as the direct contact with
the person involved to know
what exactly to expect at the
scene.
“Now when a page comes
in all you get is you have a
medical emergency at such
and such road – you kind of
lost that personal contact with
the patient,” Miller said.
“One reason the village
stopped using the phone sys-
tem was because there was
no way to distinguish if a
call is for the fire department
all the phones would ring in
the middle of the night and
you wouldn’t know if they
call was for you until you
answered it. This became frus-
trating when you are awaken
in the middle of the night and
the run wasn’t for you.”
Miller is retiring because
the state requires 40 hours
every three years to re-cer-
tify and he feels like he just
wants to slow down. Miller
said he enjoyed every min-
ute as an EMT for the last
37 years and is glad that he
served but feels it is time to
step back and let someone
younger take over.
“With me being the Mayor,
I’m with the Boy Scouts, I
run with the EMS, I’m work-
ing at the school — there isn’t
enough time in the day to get
everything done. I’m getting
to the point where I just want
to slow down a little bit,” he
concluded.

Obama challenge brings

Netanyahu to ‘The Oval’
By ERICA WERNER
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — emboldened by the winds
President Barack Obama
and Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu were
sharply at odds over terms
for Middle East peace ahead
of a highly anticipated Oval
Office meeting today.
In a speech Thursday on
U.S. policy in the Mideast,
Obama for the first time
endorsed the Palestinians’
demand that their eventual
state be based on bor-
ders that existed before the
1967 Six Day War in which
revolts sweeping the Arab
world crest against Israel
itself. Palestinian protesters
of change marched on the
Jewish state’s borders this
week and at least 15 people
were killed.
Against that backdrop,
Obama is aiming “to try to
convince Netanyahu and the
Israelis that there’s a greater
urgency in reaching agree-
ment with the Palestinians
because of the dramatic
changes under way in the
region and greater diplomatic
pressures and efforts to iso-
late Israel and delegitimize its
rejects. Obama said Israel
can never be a truly peaceful
Jewish state if it insists on
“permanent occupation.” But
he did say the 1967 borders
should be accompanied by
land swaps agreed to by both
sides, which could accommo-
date existing Jewish settle-
ments.
Obama was unsparing,
too, in his words for the
Palestinian leadership, repu-
diating its pursuit of unilateral
statehood through the United
Nations and questioning its
alliance with a Hamas faction
bent on Israel’s destruction.
It was not immediately clear,

No Child Left Behind fix lagging in Congress

than 5,000 guests will be in attendance.
By CHRISTINE ARMARIO
and CHRIS WILLIAMS
Moderately confused Associated Press
The long-awaited overhaul
of the 9-year-old No Child Left
Behind law has begun in the
House with the first in a series
of targeted bills, but a bipar-
tisan, comprehensive reform
of the nation’s most important
education law still appears far
from the finish line.
Rep. John Kline, R-Minn.,
chairman of the House
Education and Workforce
Committee, said there’s no
chance of meeting President
Barack Obama’s August
deadline.
“I’ve been very, persis-
tently clear that we cannot get
this done by summer,” Kline
said in an interview with The
Associated Press. “It is just
not going to happen.”
Republicans have been
divided by new lawmakers
who tend to oppose any fed-
eral role in education and fis-
cal conservatives who want
greater efficiency but are
open to giving Washington
some input. On the other side,
some Democrats favor incen-
tives like merit pay for teach-
ers while others are advocat-
ing for the more traditional
education establishment.
“There are some areas of
focus that I think you can
get some consensus around,”
said Sandy Kress, who served
as an education adviser to
President George W. Bush in
the passage of No Child Left
Behind in 2001. For example,
he said, there’s agreement on
the need to better prepare high
school students for college
and careers, create measures
that improve teacher devel-
opment and effectives, and
prune back federal intrusions
into the classroom.
“But after that, the differ-
ences come out,” Kress said.
Republicans and
Democrats agree the law is
broken. The Bush-era legisla-
tion has accountability provi-
sions in which even schools
that are making improvements
can be labeled as failures and
has had a discouraging effect
on the adoption of higher
standards. The law sets a goal
of having 100 percent of stu-
dents proficient in math and
reading by 2014, but states set
what is considered proficient
and how much schools must
improve each year. Many left
the biggest leaps for the final
years, anticipating the law
would be changed.
Since it has not, the num-
ber of schools not meeting
annual growth benchmarks is
likely to increase. Failing to
meet the targets for several
consecutive years leads to
federal interventions that can
result in staff replacement and
school restructuring.
“It’s going to be more and
more difficult for schools to
make the targets,” said Diane
Rentner, director of national
programs for the Center on
Education Policy.
Two approaches have
emerged to restructuring the
law. The House plans to intro-
duce several targeted fixes
through multiple bills, start-
ing with a proposal to elimi-
nate 43 federal K-12 edu-
cation programs. The Senate
still aims for a more compre-
hensive legislation.
“We will hopefully have
a bill that may not be what
everybody wants, but I hope
it will be broadly supported,”
said Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa,
chairman of the Senate
Health, Education, Labor and
Pensions Committee.
Harkin said he is hope-
ful the bill will be before
the committee before the July
recess and will include sys-
tems for teacher and princi-
pal evaluations; metrics for
success that include student
growth and school gains; and
some federal accountability
and intervention in the bot-
tom 5 percent of schools, as
well as those with significant
achievement gaps.
Potentially, a Senate bill
could be aligned with the House
proposals in a conference com-
mittee, but analysts say that
would be difficult to pull off.
House Republicans, wary of
any broad-reaching federal leg-
islation, may balk at a compre-
hensive education bill.
Passing a series of small,
targeted bills isn’t necessarily
easier, either.
Kline said he plans to
introduce a second bill soon
that would give school dis-
tricts more flexibility in how
they spend federal dollars. A
third bill could be introduced
before the August break, and
at least one more, addressing
how schools should be held
accountable, would follow.

PHILADELPHIA — Jason Giambi
became the second-oldest player to
hit three homers in a game and tied
his career high with seven RBIs, lead-
ing the Colorado Rockies past the
Philadelphia Phillies 7-1 Thursday
night.
Jhoulys Chacin was the benefi-
ciary of Giambi’s turn-back-the-clock
power display. Chacin
(5-2) allowed one run
and four hits, striking out
a season-high nine in
seven innings.
Making a rare start
at first base in place of
Todd Helton, Giambi
went deep in his first
three at-bats. The 40-year-old former
AL MVP entered 3-for-26 (.115) this
season with one home run and four
RBIs.
Kyle Kendrick (3-3) took the loss.
Pirates 5, Reds 3
CINCINNATI — James McDonald
pitched into the seventh inning and
Neil Walker doubled home a pair of
runs, leading the Pirates to a victory
and a 2-game sweep of the Reds.
The Pirates arrived in town with
a 6-game losing streak and came
away with their first series sweep in
Cincinnati since 2003. They did it with
pitching — Charlie Morton threw a
five-hitter for a 5-0 win in the opener.
McDonald (3-3) allowed one run
and seven hits in 6 2/3 innings.
The Pirates finally broke through
against Johnny Cueto (2-1), who had
won his last seven decisions against
them. Ryan Doumit added a solo
homer.
Mets 1, Nationals 0
NEW YORK — Dillon Gee shut
down Washington once again, toss-
ing hitless ball until pitcher Livan
Hernandez grounded a clean single
with two outs in the sixth inning, to
lead the Mets over the Nationals.
The game ended with Washington
manager Jim Riggleman, catcher
Ivan Rodriguez and third-base coach
Bo Porter hollering at the umpires,
moments after a disputed call.
For Gee (3-0) and the Nationals,
his performance probably looked
familiar. In his major-league debut
last September, the 25-year-old righty
held the Nationals without a hit until
Willie Harris homered leading off the
sixth.
Justin Turner hit an RBI single in
the fourth for the only run.
Cardinals 4, Astros 2
ST. LOUIS — First-year starter
Kyle McClellan became the National
League’s first 6-game winner and
MLB CAPSULES
backup catcher Gerald Laird made his
10th start of the season count with a
2-run double as the Cardinals beat the
Astros for a 2-game sweep.
Allen Craig homered in a 3-hit
game as the stand-in cleanup bat-
ter for injured Matt Holliday. The
Cardinals completed a 4-0 homestand
behind stingy pitching that allowed
only five runs. They jumped a half-
game ahead of the Reds atop the NL
Central.
J.A. Happ (3-5) had
a season-high eight
strikeouts for the Astros,
allowing three runs in six
innings. Houston has
lost five in a row, totaling
just 29 hits while getting
outscored 22-10.
After the start was delayed 55
minutes by rain, McClellan (6-1)
allowed two runs in eight innings with
five strikeouts and no walks.
Cubs 5, Marlins 1
MIAMI — Casey Coleman had
a career-high seven strikeouts in 5
2/3 shutout innings Thursday and
the Cubs completed a 2-game series
sweep by beating the Marlins.
Coleman (2-3) walked five but
retired five batters with runners in
scoring position and lowered his ERA
from 7.22 to 6.03. He departed after
throwing 109 pitches; four relievers
completed the 8-hitter, with Carlos
Marmol pitching a scoreless ninth.
Marmol has thrown 22 2/3 consecu-
tive shutout innings on the road since
Aug. 25.
Marlon Byrd hit a 2-run homer,
his third of the season and his second
in two nights against Florida. Starlin
Castro hit a 2-out, 2-run double in
the ninth and Reed Johnson doubled
home Chicago’s first.
The Cubs have won their past five
games in Miami.
Chris Volstad (2-3) allowed three
runs in five innings.
Diamondbacks 2, Braves 1
PHOENIX — Josh Collmenter
blanked Atlanta for six innings to run
his scoreless streak to 21 and the
Diamondbacks handed Jair Jurrjens
his first loss of the season with a vic-
tory over the Braves.
Collmenter (3-0) gave up two
hits with one strikeout and no walks
in his second start. The 25-year-old
right-hander has allowed two runs
in 26 innings, with 15 strikeouts and
one walk, since being called up from
Triple-A Reno, including a franchise-
record 12 scoreless innings in a row
as a starter. He and Jurrjens were
locked in a scoreless fight until Chris
Young’s solo home run with two outs
in the sixth. Juan Miranda, who had
three hits, tripled in a run later in the
inning.
Jurrjens (5-1) lost for the first time
in seven starts as Arizona swept the
2-game series from Atlanta.
Padres 1, Brewers 0
SAN DIEGO — Orlando Hudson
hit a sacrifice fly in the ninth inning
to give the Padres a win over the
Brewers.
Activated off the 15-day disabled
list before the game, Hudson hit a
line drive to right field on the first
pitch off Marco Estrada (0-2) with the
bases loaded to score pinch-runner
Eric Patterson with the winning run.
Patterson scored without a throw from
right fielder Corey Hart, who had to go
backward to make the catch.
Ryan Ludwick led off the inning
with a single off Estrada. Patterson
stole second base, Estrada inten-
tionally walked pinch-hitter Hawpe to
bring up Cameron Maybin. He bunted
to move up the runners and Chase
Headley was walked intentionally to
load the bases.
Heath Bell (2-0) pitched the top
of the ninth.
Giants 3, Dodgers 1
LOS ANGELES — Madison
Bumgarner came within an out of
his first major-league shutout and
earned his first victory of the season
and Freddy Sanchez drove in two
runs to help lead the Giants over the
Dodgers.
Bumgarner (1-6) allowed a run
and six hits, including a first-pitch
RBI double with two outs in the ninth
by rookie Jerry Sands. The 21-year-
old left-hander struck out three and
walked two in his ninth start of the
season. Bumgarner has a 1.32 ERA
over his last five outings. Brian Wilson
got the final out for his 13th save.
The only other Giants starter to
lose his first six decisions of a season
since Terry Mullholland’s 0-6 start as
a rookie in 1986 was Barry Zito, who
began 2008 with an 0-8 record.
Chad Billingsley (2-4) gave up
three runs and six hits in six innings
and struck out four.
----
AL
OAKLAND, Calif. — Justin
Morneau homered and had three hits
and Rene Rivera hit his first home run
in nearly five years as the suddenly-
resurgent Minnesota Twins beat the
Oakland Athletics 11-1 on Thursday.
Nick Blackburn (3-4) pitched
seven solid innings for Minnesota,
which has won three straight — all on
the road — following a season-high
9-game losing streak.
Trevor Plouffe also homered while
Michael Cuddyer added three hits for
Minnesota. Plouffe homered as part of
a 6-run eighth inning, the Twins’ best
of the season.
Hideki Matsui walked and scored
for the A’s, who lost their starting
pitcher Tyson Ross (3-3) to a strained
left oblique after throwing just seven
pitches.
Mariners 2, Angels 1
SEATTLE — Nine-time Gold
Glover Torri Hunter lost Carlos
Peguero’s fly ball with two outs in the
ninth inning in the sun, allowing Jack
Cust to score and give the Mariners a
win over the Angels.
Seattle swept the brief 2-game
series in unusual fashion. Cust started
the ninth with a check-swing dribbler
up the third-base line off reliever Scott
Downs (1-1) that beat the Angels
defensive shift. Adam Kennedy’s sac-
rifice bunt moved Cust to second
and he advanced to third on Luis
Rodriguez’s ground out to first.
Peguero, who had at least a dou-
ble taken away by Hunter in the sev-
enth inning with a great catch, then
hit a fly ball to left-center field. Hunter
was in position but then lost the ball in
the bright sun and it fell in for a hit to
score Cust.
Blue Jays 3, Rays 2
TORONTO — J.P. Arencibia hit a
tie-breaking 2-run homer, Juan Rivera
also connected and the Blue Jays
beat the Rays.
B.J. Upton and Kelly Shoppach
had solo homers for the Rays, losers
of 4-of-6.
Ricky Romero (4-4) allowed one
run and three hits in seven innings to
win consecutive starts for the first time
this season. He walked two and struck
out six. He pitched a season-high 8
2/3 shutout innings to beat Minnesota
last Friday. Marc Rzepczynski gave
up Shoppach’s homer in the eighth
and Frank Francisco finished in the
ninth for his fifth save in six oppor-
tunities.
Rivera went 2-for-3 and scored a
pair of runs as the Blue Jays won for
the seventh time in eight games.
Wade Davis (4-4) has lost consec-
utive starts after winning his previous
four decisions.
Red Sox 4, Tigers 3
BOSTON — Carl Crawford hit a
bases-loaded single in the bottom of
the ninth inning to lift the Red Sox to
their season-high sixth straight win,
beating the Tigers.
After blowing a 3-1 lead in the
eighth by giving up back-to-back hom-
ers to Brennan Boesch and Miguel
Cabrera, Boston rallied in the ninth
to complete the 2-game sweep of
the Tigers.

Reserves spark Thunder Track
to 1-1 series tie with Mavs
By JAIME ARON
The Associated Press
DALLAS — Thunder
coach Scott Brooks had a big
decision to make. With Game
2 of the Western Conference
finals on the line, he either
had to stick with a lineup
of four reserves who were
playing well or switch
to the group he usually
trusts late in the fourth
quarter.
He bet on the back-
ups. And now the
series is headed back to
Oklahoma City all tied
up, thanks to his gutsy
call.
James Harden, Eric
Maynor, Nick Collison
and Daequan Cook
teamed with Kevin
Durant to build a healthy lead
late in the fourth quarter, then
made it hold up for a 106-
100 victory over the Dallas
Mavericks on Thursday
night.
“We’ve always felt con-
fident in the bench,” Brooks
said. “They really did a good
job. But it’s always a team
effort when you win.”
All-Star point guard
Russell Westbrook sat along-
side Brooks as Maynor guided
the Thunder’s offense down
the stretch. Serge Ibaka and
Kendrick Perkins cheered on
Collison as he tried to slow
Dirk Nowitzki. And while
Durant was the lone starter
mixed in with the backups,
he was their offensive liabil-
ity — he made 2-of-6 shots,
compared to 9-of-11 for the
other guys.
“If you tell me they leave
Westbrook out in the whole
fourth quarter and we don’t
get stops to win, that would
have been tough,” Nowitzki
said. “But you have to give
Maynor credit. ... Their
reserves came out swinging
and really took it to us.”
Harden and Durant are part
of Brooks’ typical crew of
closers. Sometimes Collison.
So Maynor and Cook were
the exceptions. But there was
never really a chance — or a
reason — for Brooks to make
a change.
Oklahoma City went into
Thomas stifles Lightning to give Bruins 2-1 lead
The Associated Press
TAMPA, Fla. — of the third on a shot from the
Goaltending and defense final-
ly prevailed and the Boston
Bruins took full advantage.
Tim Thomas made 31 saves
for his first playoff shutout
this season and second over-
all and Andrew Ference and
David Krejci scored as the
Bruins beat the Tampa Bay
Lightning 2-0 on Thursday
night to take a 2-1 lead in the
Eastern Conference finals.
“Tonight’s game probably
resembled a lot more of what
I think everybody expected
from this series, two teams
that make it hard for you to
score,” Bruins coach Claude
Julien said. “I thought our
team was very good in regards
to that. We made some stron-
ger plays and better decisions
and seemed a little bit more
aware out there of what was
going on. Comparing it to last
game, where I thought it was
pretty sloppy, I thought we
bounced back well.”
Thomas and Tampa Bay’s
Dwayne Roloson entered the
series as the top two playoff
goalies this season. And then,
surprisingly, the teams com-
bined for 18 goals in the first
two games.
“That felt more like a nor-
mal game,” Thomas said.
“That felt like the game we
played most of the season.
Playoffs are always faster and
more energy and a few more
scoring chances than a regu-
lar-season game but that was
Boston Bruins hockey.”
The Lightning scored five
times in both earlier games
but a lack of traffic in front
of Thomas helped prevent an
encore performance.
“Offensively, I don’t
feel that we paid the price,”
Lightning right wing Martin
MLB
(Continued from Page 6)
Jonathan Papelbon (2-0) got the
win after pitching a scoreless — but
hectic — ninth, then the Red Sox came
through against Al Alburquerque (0-1)
in the bottom half.
J.D. Drew and David Ortiz each
homered for Boston and Josh Beckett
pitched six solid innings. He was pulled
before the seventh with tightness in his
neck as the Red Sox took no chances
on the cool, misty night.
White Sox 8, Indians 2
CHICAGO — Gavin Floyd pitched
seven solid innings and Carlos Quentin
homered as the White Sox rocked
Fausto Carmona for the second time
this season and beat the Indians.
Floyd (5-3) followed up Jake
Peavy’s 3-hit shutout on Wednesday
night by allowing a run and five hits as
the White Sox swept the 2-game set
the fourth quarter leading by
one following a four-point
play by Harden in the final
seconds of the third quarter.
The guys who were asked
to protect that slim lead
never gave it up. They even
stretched it to 10 with 3:15
left following a 14-5 spurt
capped by a tough jumper
from Harden.
Brooks ended up not
making a change until
he had to — Collison
fouled out with 37 sec-
onds left. Brooks’ only
other move was taking
out Cook for the last 13
seconds.
“You can’t mess that
chemistry up,” Durant
said. “Coach made a
good decision.”
By slowing Nowitzki
and the Mavericks down
the stretch, the Thunder
reserves did something that
Kobe Bryant and the Lakers
couldn’t.
Dallas erased a pair of
fourth-quarter deficits during
a sweep of the 2-time reign-
ing NBA champs last round.
Those wins were part of a
7-game streak the Mavs had
been riding. They also had
been 6-0 at home this post-
season.
Like the Eastern Conference
finals, this series is essentially
starting over. The scene shifts
about 200 miles up Interstate
35 for Game 3 on Saturday
night and Game 4 on Monday
night. A return trip to Dallas
for Game 5 on Wednesday
night is guaranteed, too.
Mavericks coach Rick
Carlisle complained about
his defense after Game 1 but
it seemed like coach-speak,
something to gripe about for
the sake of griping. He’s got
their attention now, though,
after seeing the Thunder make
56 percent of their shots.
Dallas came into this series
not having allowed more than
97 points in any playoff game,
and Oklahoma City has shat-
tered that in both games.
“Scoring 100 points in
a playoff game should be
enough to win,” Carlisle said.
“Not if you’re giving up 106,
112. Give them credit. They
played an attacking, desperate
St. Louis said.
Ference made it 2-0 at 8:12
point that trickled between
Roloson’s legs and into the
net.
“We’re not a team big on
talking about buying in, we
just buy in,” Ference said.
Game 4 is Saturday in
Tampa.
“It came down to one
mistake here and there,”
Lightning coach Guy Boucher
said. “Their goaltender is still
going to be great and ours,
too. It’s going to come down
to those, one little detail that
will make the difference.”
Boston got a lift with the
return of Patrice Bergeron
after he missed two games
because of a concussion sus-
tained when he was hit by
Philadelphia’s Claude Giroux
in the final game of the sec-
ond round.
“I thought I stayed pret-
ty positive in the process,”
Bergeron said. “It’s behind
me. I’m looking forward.”
While Bergeron did not
add to his two goals and 10
assists in 11 playoff games
this year before the injury,
the alternate captain made his
presence felt on faceoffs, win-
ning 18-of-28.
“You could see the differ-
ence he makes,” Julien added.
“I really liked the way he
played. His line was definite-
ly better and that certainly
helped us.”
“He’s back and he defi-
nitely made a difference for
us, like he always does and
like he has been this whole
playoffs,” Thomas added.
“He’s been one, if not, the
best player on our team.”
Bruins rookie Tyler Seguin,
who had three goals and three
assists in the first two games,
was held off the scoresheet.
with the short-handed Indians.
With Grady Sizemore on the dis-
abled list, Cleveland was also missing
DH Travis Hafner for a second straight
game with a sore right side. Travis
Buck, who was supposed to be the
DH, was scratched Thursday with turf
toe and replaced by Shelley Duncan.
Carmona (3-4), who was 6-0
against the White Sox from 2008-10,
gave up eight runs and seven hits.
Yankees 13, Orioles 2
BALTIMORE — CC Sabathia scat-
tered seven hits over eight shutout
innings, Nick Swisher drove in four
runs and the Yankees beat the Orioles
for a 2-game sweep.
Mark Teixeira and Eduardo Nunez
homered for the Yankees, who have
matched a season high with three
straight wins after a 6-game skid. New
York had 14 hits, including three dou-
bles, three triples and two home runs.
game. Their bench was domi-
nant when they played.”
In Game 1, Dallas’
reserves outscored Oklahoma
City’s 53-22. In Game 2, the
Thunder won the battle of the
backups 50-29.
Harden scored 23 points.
In the fourth quarter, he made
4 of 5 shots, including a pair
of 3-pointers.
Maynor finished with
13 points, Cook eight and
Collison six.
Durant still led the Thunder
with 24 points. DeShawn
Stevenson and Jason Kidd
made things a lot tougher for
him than in the opener, when
he scored 40, but he was still
spectacular at times. He had a
first-quarter dunk that’s worth
going to YouTube to see again
and again and a behind-the-
back dribble to clear space for
another key basket in the third
quarter.
Westbrook scored 18
points, making 7-of-15 shots.
Nowitzki went from scor-
ing 48 in the opener to having
only 13 points through three
quarters. He didn’t even score
in the third period, taking just
two shots in nearly 9 minutes.
He scored 16 in the fourth
quarter to finish with 29.
He was still efficient, mak-
ing 10-of-17 shots, but he had
to earn everything, with bod-
ies flying at him before and
during every possession. The
Thunder also got physical
without drawing many fouls.
The big German took only 10
free throws, down from 24 in
the opener. He even missed
one and it was a biggie — part
of a series of three shots with
36.7 seconds left. It could
have pulled the Mavericks
within three.
Notes: Oklahoma City continued
its streak of avoiding consecutive
losses this postseason. Counting
the regular season and playoffs, the
Thunder are 26-6 in the game follow-
ing a loss. ... Nowitzki’s missed free
throw ended a stretch of 39 straight
makes dating to Game 2 of the sec-
ond round. ... The Thunder allowed
six 30-point quarters through their
first 12 playoff games. They did it four
times in the first five quarters of this
series but clamped down after that. ...
Dallas’ last loss was in Game 4 of the
first round, when it blew a 23-point
lead over the final 14 minutes against
Portland. ... This was the first time all
season the Mavs lost when Nowitzki
took at least 10 free throws. They
had been 17-0.
After sitting out the first
two rounds, the 19-year-old
Seguin was inserted into the
lineup to replace Bergeron in
Game 1 and has seven points
overall.
Krejci was alone in the low
slot and opened the scoring on
a backhander just 1:09 into
the first. Boston is 7-0 during
the postseason when scoring
the first goal of the game.
Krejci was briefly shaken
up late in the first when he
was hit in the neutral zone
by Tampa Bay defenseman
Marc-Andre Bergeron, who
received a minor penalty for
elbowing.
Tampa Bay center Steven
Stamkos had three shot as
the Lightning outshot Boston
10-8 during the first. Bruins
captain Zdeno Chara made a
nice defensive play during the
period to break up a Tampa
Bay 2-on-1.
Thomas made a strong
save in the first on St. Louis’
shot from the low right circle.
The goalie stopped 15 shots
in the third.
“They played good defen-
sively and Thomas played
good when he had to,”
Stamkos said.
Roloson finished with 23
saves.
“Both goalies made huge
saves,” Bruins defenseman
Dennis Seidenberg said. “This
just felt more normal. I think
both teams got more towards
the type of game they wanted.
I think it was a lot more typi-
cal and expected from us.”
Notes: NHL Commissioner Gary
Bettman attended the game. ... Tampa
Bay D Pavel Kubina didn’t play and
hasn’t resumed practicing. Kubina
has been out since the first game
of the conference semifinals against
Washington when his head went into
the glass on a hit. ... Bruins LW Milan
Lucic played with a sore right foot and
had an assist. ... Krejci has six goals
and 11 points over his last seven
games.
Sabathia (4-3) struck out nine,
walked none and permitted only two
runners to reach third base. The left-
hander is 2-0 against the Orioles this
season, 16-2 lifetime and 10-1 at
Camden Yards.
Royals 2, Rangers 1, 10 innings
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Jeff
Francoeur’s RBI single in the 10th
inning lifted Kansas City to a 2-1 vic-
tory over the Rangers, snapping the
Royals’ 5-game losing streak with their
seventh walkoff win.
Greg Holland (1-0), called up from
Triple-A Omaha hours earlier, pitched 1
1/3 innings for his first major-league win.
Melky Cabrera hit a 1-out single
off Darren Oliver (1-5) in the 10th,
his third hit of the night, and sped to
third when Eric Hosmer singled into
right for his third hit. Cody Eppley then
relieved and gave up the game-winner
to Francoeur.

Can anyone define ‘fundamentalist’?
Few hot-button “fighting words” are
tossed around with wilder abandon in
journalism today than the historical term
“fundamentalist.”
The powers that be at the Associated
Press know this label is loaded and, thus,
for several decades the wire service’s
style manual has offered this guidance for
reporters, editors and broadcast producers
around the world: “fundamentalist: The
word gained usage in an early 20th centu-
ry fundamentalist-modernist controversy
within Protestantism. ... However, funda-
mentalist has to a large extent taken on pejorative connotations to draw lines between “Islamists,” “Muslim radicals,” “fringe

“In general, do not use fundamentalist unless a group applies
the word to itself.”
The problem is that religious authorities -- the voices journal- Egypt, for example, a nation in which conflicts exist between

views on this question.”
Meanwhile, on two other crucial questions: “Relatively few
(39%) give high priority to women having the same rights as
men. ... Overall, just 36% think it is very important that Coptic
Christians and other religious minorities are able to freely prac-
tice their religions.”
So while only 31 percent sympathize with “fundamentalist”
Muslims, 60-plus percent decline to give high priority to equal
rights for women and 62 percent believe Egypt’s laws should
STRICTLY follow the Quran. Also, only 36 percent strongly fa-
vor religious liberty for religious minorities. Each of these stanc-
es meshes easily with alternative “fundamentalism” definitions
offered by experts.
To add more complexity, 75 percent of those surveyed had a
somewhat or very favorable view of the Muslim Brotherhood’s
surging role in Egyptian life -- a group long classified as “fun-
damentalist” in global reports, such as historian Martin Marty’s
“Fundamentalism as a Social Phenomenon” in 1988.
While there is no Arabic word for “fundamentalist,” Pew re-
searchers believe many Egyptians have begun applying a similar
term to some groups of “very conservative Muslims,” according
to James Bell, director of international survey research for the
Pew Research Center.
However, he added, the complexities and even conflicts in-
side these new survey results make it hard to say specifically
who is or who isn’t a “fundamentalist” in the context of Egypt
today.
“For our Egypt survey, the term ‘fundamentalist’ was trans-
lated into Arabic as ‘usuuli,’ which means close to the root, rule
or fundamental,” he explained. “It is our understanding that this
Arabic term is commonly used to describe conservative Mus-
lims. ... So that’s the word that we used.”

Schwarzenegger puts
acting career on hold
By ANTHONY
McCARTNEY
and JOHN ROGERS
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES —
With everyone talking
about former Gov. Arnold
Schwarzenegger’s out-of-
wedlock child, the politician
abruptly put his Hollywood
comeback on hold to sort out
his personal life and perhaps
prepare for a starring role in a
big-budget divorce battle.
The former “Terminator”
star, who earlier this week
acknowledged fathering a
child with his family’s long-
time housekeeper, told his tal-
ent agency Thursday to post-
pone all his movie projects.
“Gov. Schwarzenegger is
focusing on personal matters
and is not willing to commit
to any production schedules
or timelines,” a statement
from his office said.
When Schwarzenegger and
his wife, Maria Shriver, sepa-
rated earlier this month, nei-
ther was talking divorce. That
may have changed, however,
after he revealed Monday that
he fathered a now 13-year-old
Photos of Beatles’ 1st US concert to be auctioned
By ULA ILNYTZKY
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — It was
1964. Beatlemania ruled.
Two days after their momen-
tous debut on “The Ed
Sullivan Show,” the Fab Four
boarded a train from New
York for Washington, D.C.,
for their first U.S. concert.
An enterprising 18-year-old
Mike Mitchell was there, a
press pass in hand, shooting
photographs just feet away
and even jumping onto the
stage for the group’s brief
pre-concert press call.
Forty-seven years later,
Mitchell has made 50 sil-
ver gelatin prints from his
negatives of the event and
the Beatles’ Sept. 3, 1964,
performance at the Baltimore
Civic Center. He’s offering
them for sale at Christie’s
New York auction house on
July 20. The total pre-sale
estimate is $100,000; the
images will be sold individu-
ally.
Mitchell laughs when he
describes the scene at the
indoor arena that night —
not only of screaming fans
but also of his unrestrict-
ed access to the stage. No
cordoned-off media pens, no
tight security.
“It was a long time ago.
Things weren’t that way
then,” the 65-year-old said in
a telephone interview from
Washington, where he lives
and works as an art pho-
tographer. “It was as low-
tech as the concert itself. The
concert was in a sports venue
and the sound system was
the sound system of a sports
venue.”
Equally astonishing is
how few other photographs
from that first concert exist.
Simeon Lipman, head of
Christie’s pop culture depart-
ment, said it’s not clear why,

son with the family house-
keeper and never told his wife
until this year.
People magazine report-
ed this week that Shriver
has retained prominent Los
Angeles divorce attorney
Laura Wasser. If the Kennedy
heiress and former network
TV anchor goes ahead with
a divorce, several prominent
attorneys say, she is likely to
cash in big.
“It seems to me that he has
gratuitously embarrassed her.
This should greatly enhance
settlement negotiations,”
said Atlanta attorney John
Mayoue, who has represented
Chris Rock in a paternity suit,
baseball star David Justice in
his split with actress Halle
Berry, and other celebrities.
Although California is a
no-fault divorce state, mean-
ing her husband’s actions
technically can’t be used
against him in court, the real-
ity, attorneys say, is that it
will be.
“Every judge would
know about what happened,
and I think would hold it
against him,” said attorney
Robert Nachshin, who has
but he said Mitchell’s black
and white photographs were
remarkable for their quality.
“They’re very close-up,
very animated. The light is
very interesting. They’re
very intimate shots,” Lipman
said
In addition, Beatlemania
was at its peak, so much
so that the Beatles stopped
performing live in 1966
— their last concert was
in Candlestick Park in San
Francisco — “because they
couldn’t hear themselves
sing. The girls were so hys-
terical,” Lipman noted.
Mitchell stored the nega-
tives all these years in a box
in the basement of his home.
For the silver gelatin prints
in the auction, he used digi-
tal technology to do “much
better ‘darkroom’ work that
could ever have been done in
a traditional darkroom.”
The batch of prints, show-
ing the Beatles in their early
signature mop hair, suit and
ties, also will have a nearly
invisible “secret moniker”
that will not be used for any
other of his images, he said.
The highlight of sale is
a backlit photograph of the
band with light halos around
their heads that Mitchell
shot at the press call while
standing directly behind the
group. Sotheby’s has not yet
determined what it’s expect-
ed to fetch.
He said he got the
press pass for the Beatles’
first concert from a small
Washington magazine that
had a short life and for which
he did some work.
The Washington Coliseum
stage was a boxing ring,
which meant the Beatles were
constantly turning around so
they could face all of the
fans. Ringo’s drums were set
on a lazy Susan-type plat-

represented the ex-wives of
a who’s who of entertain-
ers that includes Will Smith,
Rod Stewart and John Ritter.
“Judges are human beings,
and Maria will definitely be
the sympathetic spouse.”
Based on his experience,
Nachshin said, Shriver should
expect to receive at least
$100,000 a month in spou-
sal support and, with three
children under the age of 18,
probably another $40,000 or
more a month in child sup-
port.
Then there’s the division of
the couple’s property, includ-
ing the Brentwood mansion
that Shriver and her children
moved from earlier this year.
Nachshin said that could
be affected by a prenuptial
agreement, if the couple
signed one when they were
married in 1985. Many such
agreements call for people to
keep what would otherwise
be joint assets separate after
marriage.
Although the scandal has
gained worldwide attention,
the attorneys said the most
surprising thing about it is
that the public found out.
form. The press was allowed
to move freely around the
stage, Mitchell said.
In addition to jumping on
the stage during the press call,
he hurled himself up after the
concert ended. Even though
the Beatles made a swift exit,
he said, “the crowd was so
boisterous” that he feared for
his safety.
The photographs will
be displayed at Christie’s
London galleries on June
11-12, and then at several
other London venues before
being shown July 11-20 at
Christie’s New York prior to
the auction.

Twenty-foot fences make good neighbors
For weeks now, every
news story that mentions the
Navy Seals’ wildly successful
raid on Osama’s house says
that the terrorist mastermind
had been hiding with his three
wives in a “million-dollar
complex” for five years.
I’m no real estate expert,
but if that crappy-looking
house cost a million dollars,
I will eat my shoe. No pool,
no granite counters in the
kitchen, no double-height
entrance hall. We are told
that Abbottabad, Pakistan,
is one of the ritziest places
in Pakistan. If that’s ritzy,
what do the unritzy places
look like? Would anybody
be surprised at all to find out
that after Osama had been
cooped up in that dumpy
“million-dollar complex” for
five years with three wives
that he dropped the dime
on himself? “Please,” I can
almost hear him saying into a
cell phone that he knew was
bugged, “Come and get me.
I’m begging you. Send Jack
Bauer.”
Some people say
there’s no way bin Laden
could have been living in
Pakistan without someone
in the Pakistani government
knowing about it. Really?
Jaycee Lee Dugard was
kidnapped near Lake Tahoe in
front of many witnesses when
she was 11 years old, and
was only discovered 18 years
later. No one noticed she had
been forced to live in a tent
in her kidnapper/rapist’s back
yard in a suburban California
neighborhood. Police and
social services visited the
house many times over the
years because her abductor
was already a convicted sex
criminal, yet they didn’t
seem to know he had a child
permanently camping out
around back. Despite a media
firestorm and the state and
local authorities using all
their resources trying to find
her, she remained missing in
plain sight.
A guy in Manhattan
kept a full-grown tiger and
a full-grown alligator in his

Village
Idiot
rent-subsidized apartment
for years, and none of his
neighbors, who lived all the
way across a 5 foot-wide hall,
knew about it. It wasn’t until
someone started to complain
about the zoo-like stench (it
seems the lion didn’t always
use the giant litter box) that
the outsize menagerie was
discovered.
If his Pakistani neighbors
knew it was bin Laden living
behind the charming 20-foot
fence topped with razor wire,
do you think they would have
hung around? If you lived next
door to the most wanted man
in the world, knowing that
he would probably be carpet
bombed into oblivion the
minute the Americans found
out where he lived (and that
was discussed), would you
want to live close by? That’s
like asking the waiter if you
can get a table close to the
mafia don who just testified
against a rival family. Even
if you don’t get killed when
they gun him down, it’s sure
to spoil your calamari.
I love this idea that news
people have that everybody

in Pakistan must know each
other. This from people who
have no idea who lives in the
apartment two floors below
them, much less who lives
two blocks or two miles away.
You won’t be surprised to
learn that it wasn’t a reporter
who found the long-missing
Dugard or the tiger in the
apartment. It wasn’t like bin
Laden was inviting people to
block parties every weekend
like John Gotti, and I doubt
his name was on the deed to
the “million-dollar complex.”
The White House has just
announced that no one was
going to get the $25 million
reward for busting bin Laden.
It’s hard to believe that if
the corrupt, double-dealing,
bribe-taking politicians and
generals in Pakistan knew
where Osama was, they’d
pass up that kind of scratch.
Right now I’m wearing
a shirt from an American
company that says, “Made
in Pakistan.” This means that
the guy who made the shirt
must be getting paid less
than the guy in Malaysia who
used to make their shirts, who
got paid less than the guy in
China who made them before
that. What had bin Laden ever
done for him? If he knew,
he’d take the money.

Former teammate says

Lance Armstrong juiced
By EDDIE PELLS
Associated Press
Tyler Hamilton joined Floyd
Landis on the list of cyclists
who once worked for Lance
Armstrong but now say the sev-
en-time Tour de France winner
used performance-enhancing
drugs.
In an interview with “60
Minutes,” Hamilton admit-
ted that he doped and said
Armstrong did, as well — using
the blood booster EPO in the
1999 Tour and before the race
in 2000 and 2001. Armstrong’s
string of seven straight wins
lasted from 1999-2005.
“I saw (EPO) in his refrig-
erator. ... I saw him inject it
more than one time, like we
changed the story he has always
told before so that he could
get himself on ‘60 Minutes’
and increase his chances with
publishers,” Armstrong attor-
ney Mark Fabiani said. “But
greed and a hunger for publicity
cannot change the facts: Lance
Armstrong is the most tested
athlete in the history of sports:
He has passed nearly 500 tests
over twenty years of competi-
tion.”
A report by ESPN said
Hamilton sent a letter to friends
apologizing for lying about his
past drug use. He said he testi-
fied six hours before the Los
Angeles grand jury investigat-
ing Armstrong.
It will be up to the mem-
bers of the grand jury to
championship, but retired last
spring after admitting he took
an antidepressant that contained
the banned steroid DHEA. He
was officially banned from
cycling for eight years.
The International Olympic
Committee could strip
Hamilton of his gold medal,
IOC vice president Thomas
Bach told The Associated
Press on today.
Bach said the committee
will examine Hamilton’s state-
ments that he doped throughout
his career.
“If there is any need or pos-
sibility to take action we will do

all did. Like I did, many, many
times,” Hamilton said in the “60
Minutes” interview that was
aired Thursday on the “CBS
Evening News.”
He said Armstrong “took
what we all took ... the major-
ity of the peloton,” referring to
riders in the race. “There was
EPO ... testosterone ... a blood
transfusion.”
Armstrong immediately
decide whether they believe
the Hamilton who steadfastly
denied doping for years — at
times concocting elaborate
excuses for his positive tests —
or the one who testified under
oath about the Armstrong case.
Landis, meanwhile, is an
unlikely witness in this case,
even though it was his revela-
tions a year ago this week that
poured fuel on the investiga-
Hamilton’s statements yet but
“we will look into this.”
The IOC can retroactively
strip Olympic medals if proof
of doping emerges later or
an athlete admits to cheating.
The IOC took away Marion
Jones’ five medals from the
2000 Sydney Games after she
admitted using performance-
enhancing drugs.
The “60 Minutes” segment,
Fort Jennings stu-
dents recently attend the
State Science Day held in
Columbus at The Ohio State
University on May 7. Eight
students qualified for state

Day held in March. Four stu-

Alyssa Schimmoeller, eighth-
grader Keri Eickholt and sev-
enth-grader Alex Sealts.
Dillon Schimmoeller,
Aaron Neidert, and Logan
Sickels also attended and
received Excellent ratings.
Craig Stewart received a
good rating.
Fort Jennings students
were taught by science teach-
ers Jeff Jostpille and the late
MaryLou Altenburger.

refuted the Hamilton interview,
launching a website that denied
the claims. He also tweeted:
“20+ year career. 500 drug con-
trols worldwide, in and out of
competition. Never a failed test.
I rest my case.”
But the Hamilton interview
keeps the news of Armstrong
and his alleged doping program
in the headlines.
Last week, The Associated
Press reported that a federal
investigation into whether
Armstrong and his former U.S.
Postal team ran a systematic
doping program is pushing into
its second year, and that the feds
recently asked French authori-
ties for evidence in a request
that mentions Armstrong by
name.
As it did when Landis made
his accusations, Armstrong’s
camp was quick to undercut the
credibility of the accuser.
“Hamilton is actively seek-
ing to make money by writing a
book, and now he has completely
tion.
He was stripped of his 2006
Tour de France title after test-
ing positive for taking synthetic
testosterone, denied taking per-
formance-enhancing drugs for
years, then finally admitted he
doped for much of his career —
a mea culpa that also implicated
Armstrong.
Asked to comment on
Hamilton’s interview, Landis
said in an email to The AP:
“The only comment I have
is that I wish the best for
Tyler.”
Hamilton, 40, won a cycling
gold medal at the 2004 Athens
Games but failed a drug test
later. He was allowed to keep
his medal, however, because
problems at a laboratory meant
his backup ‘B’ sample could
not be tested.
Months later, he was caught
blood doping and served a two-
year ban which ended in 2007.
Hamilton returned to racing
and won the 2008 U.S. road
which will air in its entirety
Sunday, also includes an inter-
view with another former
Armstrong teammate, Frankie
Andreu.
Now one of the race direc-
tors at the Tour of California,
Andreu told Pelley he took
banned substances because
lesser riders he believed were
doping were passing him.
“Training alone wasn’t
doing it and I think that’s how
... many of the other riders dur-
ing that era felt, I mean, you
kind of didn’t have a choice,”
he is quoted as saying.
Andreu’s wife, Betsy, who
has said Armstrong discussed
taking performance-enhancing
drugs as doctors prepared him
for cancer treatment in 1996,
said she and her husband are
working with investigators.
“We are cooperating, and
we’ll just tell the truth. And tell-
ing the truth has been costly,”
she said. “It’s not popular to tell
the truth about Lance.”

NEW YORK — Lawyers arguing wheth-
er ex-IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn
should get out of jail while he awaits trial on
attempted rape charges have used two famous
examples from different sides of the spectrum
to make their case — Roman Polanski and
Bernard Madoff.
Prosecutors brought up Polanski, the
French filmmaker whom U.S. authorities pur-
sued for decades after he jumped bail in a
1977 child sex case.
Defense lawyers have mentioned Bernard
Madoff, the financier who was freed on high
bail and strict house arrest, the same condi-
tions that a judge approved Thursday in a bail
package for Strauss-Kahn.
The onetime potential French presidential
contender is charged with sexually attacking
a New York City hotel maid. He denies the
allegations.
After Strauss-Kahn spent nearly a week in
police custody and then jail, the judge agreed
Kahn’s mindset was “much better now than
before we started.”
The ex-IMF head is accused of attacking
a 32-year-old housekeeper Saturday in his
$3,000-a-night hotel suite. The West African
immigrant told police he chased her down a
hallway in the suite, forced her to perform oral
sex and tried to remove her stockings.
“The proof against him is substantial. It is
continuing to grow every day as the investiga-
tion continues,” Manhattan assistant district
attorney John “Artie” McConnell told the
judge Thursday as prosecutors announced that
Strauss-Kahn had been indicted on charges
including attempted rape and a criminal sex
act.
The indictment, a crucial procedural step in
a felony case, marked a grand jury’s “determi-
nation that the evidence supports the commis-
sion of non-consensual, forced sexual acts,”
District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance Jr. said.
Strauss-Kahn, whose lawyers have suggested
evidence won’t support a forcible encounter,
is due back in court June 6.
The bail decision came less than a day after

Mississippi River crests 14 ft. high

VICKSBURG, Miss. —
The Mississippi River crested
at more than 14 feet above
flood stage in Vicksburg on
Thursday, a slightly lower than
expected level that eased wor-
ries about water potentially
spilling over a nearby levee
and inundating thousands more
acres of farmland.
But officials warned that
the flood was by no means
over. The river was expected to
stay at its crest for several days
before beginning a long, slow
retreat. It could remain above
flood stage until mid-June.
expected to rise any higher,
they did not expect to evacuate
any more people. Some 2,000
city residents have already been
forced from their homes.
Also Thursday, authorities
reported the first person to die
in Mississippi floodwaters since
the mighty river began climbing
out its banks last month in the
Midwest — a 69-year-old man
who apparently collapsed in the
high water.
At least eight deaths in
Arkansas have been attributed
to flooding, but all of those
happened in flash floods or
Mississippi tributaries.
Walter Cook was pulled
from the water Tuesday by two
Eddie Simmons to hear about the
crest just north in Vicksburg.
Simmons, a retired logger,
is recovering from hip-replace-
ment surgery and can barely
leave his bed. He has stayed in
his home despite water swamp-
ing his front yard and creeping
beneath his house. Visitors have
to use a back door to get in
because of the high water.
Simmons was confident his
house would survive now that
the river had done its worst.
“It’s God’s work. You’ve
got to deal with him. You can
run to high ground, but if God
wants to come there, he can
come there. You might as well
stay put.”
to free him on $1 million cash bail plus an
additional $5 million bond — provided he’s
confined to a New York apartment, under
armed guard and electronic monitoring.
He wasn’t immediately released from the
city’s bleak Rikers Island jail, where he had
been kept in protective custody and on a
suicide watch. But his lawyers expect he’ll
get out Friday, after he posts the bond and
authorities review the security arrangements
involved in his house arrest.
The 62-year-old French economist and
diplomat briefly wore an expression of relief
after state Supreme Court Justice Michael
J. Obus announced his decision in a packed
courtroom. Later, Strauss-Kahn blew a kiss
toward his wife.
Strauss-Kahn didn’t speak during the court
proceeding. But as he headed back to jail for
what he hoped would be a final night, lawyer
William W. Taylor called the bail decision “a
great relief for the family” and said Strauss-
Strauss-Kahn resigned as managing director
of the IMF, the powerful organization that
makes emergency loans to countries in finan-
cial crisis.
In his resignation letter, he denied the
allegations against him but said he would quit
in order to “protect this institution which I
have served with honor and devotion” and to
“devote all my strength, all my time and all
my energy to proving my innocence.”
Prosecutors had argued against his release,
citing the violent nature of the alleged offens-
es and saying his wealth and international
connections would make it easy for him to
flee.
At his arraignment Monday, a prosecutor
suggested that if Strauss-Kahn were released
and ran, he could end up “just like Roman
Polanski,” whom the Swiss government
declined to extradite last year in the child sex
case in the U.S. in which he had jumped bail
decades ago.

‘Gorgeous Gabby’ sheds helmet after skull surgery

“The crest is by no means
the end of it,” said Col. Jeffrey
R. Eckstein, commander of
the Army Corps of Engineers’
Vicksburg District.
In one of the city’s hardest-
hit areas, mechanic Chris Lynn
has paddled a small aluminum
boat across his flooded property
every day to mark the water
line on his shop. Water has
crept close to his mobile home,
though it has yet to go in.
“My son died in a car acci-
dent a few months ago, so this
ain’t nothing. But to a lot of
people, it is,” he said.
Authorities had been wor-
ried for days that water might
spill over the Yazoo Backwater
Levee north of Vicksburg.

Cook — a frequent customer
— came in Tuesday asking for
a lighter.
Day said he gave Cook a
lighter and thought he was going
home, but instead Cook went
deeper into the water, which
soon reached up to his waist.
Day said he yelled a warning to
Cook, but he kept going.
Soon after, Cook collapsed.
He was pronounced dead

HOUSTON (AP) — Rep.
Gabrielle Giffords’ new look
without a helmet has earned her
another nickname.
“I started calling her
Gorgeous Gabby today,” neu-
rosurgeon Dr. Dong Kim said
Thursday, a day after perform-
ing the successful surgery to
repair her skull.
The helmet adorned with the
Arizona state flag that Giffords
has worn since she was shot in
the head in January is finally
gone.
When Giffords was wound-
ed, doctors removed a piece of
her skull to allow her brain to
swell, and she wore the helmet
for protection.
During Wednesday’s sur-
gery, the missing bone was
replaced with a piece of molded
hard plastic with tiny screws.
Doctors said that her skull will
eventually fuse with the plas-
tic’s porous material.
The Democratic politician
was awake, communicating
and doing bedside therapy
Thursday.
Dr. Gerard Francisco, head
of Giffords’ rehabilitation team
at TIRR Memorial Hermann
hospital in Houston, said the
surgery will allow doctors to
“upgrade” her therapy, pos-
sibly improving her rate of
recovery.
“She hasn’t looked in the
mirror yet, but as soon as she
does she’ll be very pleased,”
Kim said.
Even shaving her head to
prevent infection hasn’t harmed
her appearance, Kim said.
“I think it looks quite cute if
you ask me, and hair will grow
back,” he added.
Giffords’ astronaut hus-
band, Mark Kelly, is in space
and couldn’t see her. But he
closely followed the intricate,
3 1/2-hour surgery, talking
to his brother and mother-in-
law by Internet phone on the
International Space Station and
emailing doctors.
“She’s doing really, really
well, as good as possibly could
be expected,” Kelly said in
interview from space.
Kelly said he’s “looking
forward” to her release from
TIRR, though no one, including
her doctors, is saying when that
will be.
Still, the operation is con-
sidered a major milestone in
her recovery, and doctors said
they worked according to their
original plan, performing the
surgery at an optimal time and
not rearranging it to fit Kelly’s
launch schedule.
Just removing the helmet
will help her recovery.
