“Life,” a 24,000-piece jigsaw puzzle, hangs in the basement of Steve Briskey of rural Angola, left. Briskey spent more than three years assembling

“Life” with the help of family and friends, becoming the fi rst in the state to complete the puzzle.

ANGOLA — Piece by piece — like any long-term labor of love — the world’s largest puzzle went together.

It was assembled in the basement of a rural Angola home by Steve Briskey and occasional assistants. More than 14 feet long, the 24,000-piece creation took three years and four months to complete — a total of 819.45 hours.

Briskey kept track of everything, from the moment he opened the box and mixed together four separate bags of 8,000 pieces each. The bags held the four quadrants of the puzzle, and Briskey decided he wanted to combine them for diffi culty.

A jigsaw afi cionado, he found out about the Guinness World

Record puzzle when he read an article in a newspaper on Dave Landwehr of Ottoville, Ohio, the fi rst person in his state to complete it in January 2008.

“I wanted to be the fi rst in Indiana,” said Briskey. He achieved his goal, and has logged his success at worldslargestpuzzle.com on the Hall of Fame blog.

A California family was the fi rst to put it together in 2007 and the fi rst individual to complete the puzzle was a woman from Belgium.

Briskey has videos and photographs of the progression of

the puzzle, which was assembled in his family’s basement. He used saw horses, foam board and a 16-foot table to fi rst sort, then begin piecing together the puzzle.

“When I had a chance, I was down here working,” said Briskey,

WASHINGTON (AP) — “Obamacare” escaped unharmed from the government shutdown Republicans hoped would stop it, but just as quickly they have opened a new line of attack — one handed to them by the administra-tion itself.

While Congress was arguing, President Barack Obama’s plan to expand coverage for the uninsured suffered a self-infl icted wound. A computer system seemingly designed by gremlins gummed up the fi rst open enrollment season. After nearly three weeks, it’s still not fi xed.

Republicans hope to ride that and other defects they see in the law into the 2014 congres-sional elections. Four Democratic senators are facing re-election for the fi rst time since they voted for the Affordable Care Act, and their defeat is critical to GOP aspira-tions for a Senate majority.

Democrats say that’s just more wishful thinking, if not obsession.

Although Obama’s law remains divisive, only 29 percent of the public favors its complete repeal, according to a recent Gallup poll. The business-oriented wing of the Republican party wants to move on to other issues. Americans may be growing weary of the health care fi ght.

“This is the law of the land at this point,” said Michael Weaver, a self-employed photographer from rural southern Illinois who’s been uninsured for about a year. “We need to stop the arguing and move forward to make it work.”

It took him about a week and half, but Weaver kept going back to the healthcare.gov website until he was able to open an account and apply for a tax credit that will reduce his premiums. He’s not completely fi nished because he hasn’t selected an insurance plan, but he’s been able to browse options.

It beats providing page after page of personal health informa-tion to insurance companies, Weaver said.

Under the new law, insurers have to accept people with health problems. Weaver is in his mid-50s, with high blood pressure and high cholesterol, but otherwise in good health. He says those common conditions made it hard for him to get coverage before.

Although Weaver seems to have gotten past the major website obstacles, he’s still fi nding shortcomings. There’s no place to type in his medications and fi nd

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — A pair of reports released last week highlighted different angles of the continuing troubles faced by Indiana’s working poor and raised questions about who ends up paying for their safety net.

The Kaiser Family Foundation found that 182,000 residents fall into a health insurance coverage “gap” because the state has not expanded Medicaid coverage and a jobs study from the University of California, Berkeley found almost half of Indiana’s fast food workers are also receiving public assistance.

The two reports provided sobering details as the state continues to struggle to pull out of the recession — the unemployment rate has hovered above 8 percent for more than a year now while the median income has declined over the past decade. It also helped shine some light on why the state’s leaders have been so heartily focused on improving job training programs statewide.

“It’s not a good state to be poor, or out of work, or uninsured,” said Morton Marcus, a veteran Indiana economist and former professor at the Indiana University Kelley School of Business.

Putting the health care gap in context: there are 182,000 adults earning between roughly $2,700 and $11,500 a year who will not receive federal health insurance. That excludes poor residents with children and Indiana’s elderly, who receive Medicare. The Kaiser report found that Indiana’s numbers are not out of step with other states which have not expanded Medicaid under the federal health care law, but also noted that in the states which did approve an expansion, there is no insurance gap.

That shortfall could be temporary here, however. Republican Gov. Mike Pence, long a vocal critic of traditional Medicaid, has said he would like to see the state expand the Healthy Indiana

AUBURN — Habitat for Humanity of Northeast Indiana has three families who have completed the requirements and are on the waiting list for a home.

The agency that serves DeKalb, Noble and Steuben counties also has an additional six families who have been board-approved for a home and are working on required classes and sweat equity hours.

“It is such an exciting time for us” said board member Marianne Stanley. “But it is also frustrating

because we simply don’t have the funding for these families that are working so hard to make their dream of stable housing a reality.”

Habitat is planning a major event with the goal of raising at least $60,000. ManMania is a two-day event that will take place Jan. 11 and 12 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the National Military History Center and Kruse Automotive Horse Power and Carriage Museum.

The event’s primary audience will be adult males. Activities will include demonstrations, tough-man contests, vendors, food

and drink, museum admission and a Habitat ReStore section.

Habitat is looking for event sponsors. Sponsorship levels are $5,000, Super Man Sponsor; $3,000 Mega Man Sponsor; $2,000 Tough Man Sponsor; and $1,000 Manly Man Sponsor.

There are multiple sponsor-ship benefi ts, including company listings in event brochures, posters and banners, signage at the event, vendor table space,

event tickets and more.Stanley said Habitat’s

northeast Indiana chapter holds mortgages for 54 partner families in DeKalb, Noble and Steuben counties.

“We know how to build, and we know how to make family dreams become a reality,” Stanley said. “We just need funding to make it happen.”

Tickets for ManMania will go on sale Nov. 1 and cost $20 apiece.

Call the Habitat offi ce at 925-2508 for ticket information.

For sponsorship informa-tion, contact Stanley at mstanley1303@att.net or call the Habitat offi ce.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Sixteen days in October could change everything, or not much at all.

Will the partial government shutdown prove to be the turning point after three years of partisan skirmishing in Washington? Or was it just a halftime show to fi re up the players?

With federal employees back at work for now, lawmakers are getting a chance to fi nd a compro-mise on spending cuts and settle their vast differences. If they fail, they risk a repeat shutdown in mid-January, followed a few weeks later by the recurring danger of the government defaulting on its debts.

A look at where things stand after the shutdown:

The players

• President Barack Obama won a round by refusing to back down. The public didn’t applaud his handling of the crisis, but scored congressional Republicans even lower. Obama’s overall approval rating held steady, and so did the nation’s divided opinion of his health care law. He strengthened his hand for next time.

• House Speaker John Boehner,

R-Ohio, conceded a loss for his party. But personally he came out OK. Boehner placated his boisterous tea party-backed members by letting them take a doomed stand against the health law, then got credit for fi nally allowing the shutdown to end on mostly Democratic votes.

• Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, made

a name for himself by leading the tea party charge toward shutdown. About half of the respondents in a recent Associated Press-GfK poll knew enough about Cruz to form an opinion — impressive for a senator elected less than a year ago. The bad news for Cruz? Their opinion was negative by a 2-1

Shutdown is over; what’s next?

The christening of the Zumwalt was canceled once because of the government shutdown. But plans call for the ship to be moved to dry dock in Maine and fl oated without fanfare in the coming days now that the shutdown is over.

SOUTH BEND (AP) — A University of Notre Dame offi cial says Democratic Party leaders are encouraging him to run for northern Indiana’s 2nd District U.S. House seat against fi rst-term incumbent Republican Jackie Walorski.

Joseph Bock, director of global health training for Notre Dame’s Eck Institute for Global Health, told the South Bend Tribune for a report Sunday that the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is encouraging him to run and he could formally announce his candidacy this month.

“I’m taking a very serious look at it,” Bock

said.The committee and state

and district Democratic leaders have been searching for a candidate to challenge Walorski, who defeated Democrat Brendan Mullen by just 1.4 percent of the vote in 2012 in a district drawn to strongly favor Republicans. Mullen decided not to run again.

Bock, 55, said he’s a moderate, anti-abortion Democrat. He served three terms as a state represen-tative in Missouri after defeating a Republican incumbent in 1986. He came to Notre Dame seven years ago after directing Catholic Relief Services programs

and relief efforts overseas in Haiti, Thailand, Bosnia and other countries.

Bock said his son Nick, a case manager for Sen. Joe Donnelly, recommended him to state Democratic offi cials.

Walorski is on a pace to raise $1 million in campaign funds by the end of the year, but she could face a

challenge within her own party. Curt Nisly, a tea party member whose wife, Mary, is the Elkhart County Republican chairman, told the Tribune he’s considering a GOP primary run.

But Nisly said he is concerned that Walorski, with such a narrow victory in 2012, could lose next year.

Every October, at least once, usually on a day when the bright blue sky of the fall season is masked by clouds, I read about the chemical changes occurring

then in tree leaves. These are the changes that result in the colors of fall. The changes involve the loss, the breakdown of chloro-phyl, the green color of spring and summer, and that

exposes chemicals called carotenoids, which have the yellow and orange and brown pigments of fall. At the same time, other chemicals are being formed, chemicals called anthocya-nins, and those produce the red and purple pigments of fall.

When I was very young, I was told that Jack Frost spread the colors of fall, painting leaves red and yellow and orange on frosty nights. That didn’t seem

right to me even when I was very young, because some of the leaves always changed color before there was any frost, before I waked in the morning and saw frost on my bedroom window.

Decreasing length of day, autumn’s changing colors, falling leaves speckling the ground with red and yellow and brown, the fl owers of Queen Anne’s lace turning brown and curling up into shapes like bird nests, and goldenrod blossoms losing their gold and turning to brown are all signs of fall. Farmers harvesting their corn and soybeans leaving fi elds of stubble, all these things are a backdrop for things that interest me more, the activities of birds.

There is no precise time when bird activities we associate with summer change to activities of fall. Shorebirds that nest farther north, in the tundra, sandpipers and dowitchers and yellowlegs, fi nish nesting and begin migrating south while robins and mourning doves, goldfi nches and catbirds and many other of our resident songbirds are still feeding nestlings or fl edglings.

The fi rst conspicuous bird activity indicating a change from summer to fall bird, other than an occasional fl ock of shore birds, is starlings and male red-winged blackbirds gathering in fl ocks. During the day, these fl ocks drift about the countryside, landing in fi elds and feeding. The

starlings feed on insects and seeds on the ground, the redwings often go to fi elds of corn where they feed on the ears and make themselves unpopular with the farmers. At dusk, fl ocks of each join together in communal roosts.

Robins disappear from lawns as tree leaves begin to change color. They, too,

gather in fl ocks, but instead of going to fi elds to feed, they go to woodlots and forests where they scavenge for fruits and insects. Then one day, I realize I haven’t seen a fl ock of red-winged blackbirds during the day for several days, and I recognize that fall migration is no longer just an occasional fl ock of shore

birds from farther north passing through.

This then is the time to get outdoors, to visit woods and look for fall warblers. It’s the time to go to lakes and look for fl ocks of ducks. On days when the weather is cold and wintry, it’s the time to drive slowly on country roads hoping to see a fl ock of snow buntings or Lapland longspurs. I once saw a fl ock of common redpolls in the grass along the edge of a road. I looked carefully at each bird in the fl ock as I always do when I see redpolls, hoping to spot a hoary redpoll, a bird I had never seen then and still haven’t.

I don’t have to go outdoors to look for fall migrants or winter arrivals. I looked away from my computer screen and out the window at the bird feeder beyond one morning recently, and a red-breasted nuthatch landed on the feeder. White-breasted nuthatches visit that feeder year-round, but a red-breasted is a winter visitor.

Does this one in October indicate winter weather is on the way?

Fall color and birds come at no precise time

“This then is the time to get outdoors, to visit woods and look for fall warblers.

It’s the time to go to lakes and look for fl ocks of ducks.”

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The former board chairman of Ivy Tech Community College sent emails with political diatribes, sexist jokes and nude pictures of women to state offi cials before college offi cials asked him to stop earlier this year, a report Sunday said.

V. Bruce Walkup sent the emails to offi cials including Ivy Tech President Tom Snyder; Jeff Terp, Ivy Tech’s senior vice president for engagement Jeff Terp, Earl Goode, then the chief of staff to former Gov. Mitch Daniels; and Rob Carter Jr., the former director of the Indiana Department of Natural Resources who’s now Ivy tech’s security chief, The Indianapolis Star reported.

One email suggested a skunk as a new symbol for President Barack Obama: “It is half black, half white, and everything it does stinks.”

Terp and Snyder did not open any of the emails, Ivy

Tech told the Star, which obtained the emails in a public records request.

Walkup’s emails continued for at least six months, the Star said.

Walkup was asked to stop sending such emails earlier this year, Ivy Tech spokesman Jeff Fanter said. Walkup’s messages are “blocked and deleted,” Terp said in an email to the Star.

Walkup issued a statement through Ivy Tech saying “I do apologize for any misconceptions or persons I may have offended with these questionable emails.”

Walkup, a former IndyCar driver and bank executive, was appointed to the unpaid board position by former Gov. Mitch Daniels in 2005. Daniels, who is now president of Purdue University, said he was unaware of the emails but acknowledged “Bruce Walkup is sort of a salty guy.” Walkup no longer is chairman but remains on the

Ivy Tech board.It’s uncertain whether

Walkup violated Ivy Tech’s sexual harassment policy because he is an unpaid appointee, not an employee. The policy prohibits “sex-oriented oral or written (including electronic) ‘kidding’ or abuse” and circulating photographs of a sexual nature.

Carter, while director of the DNR, extended special privileges to Walkup at least once last fall. He arranged a duck hunting trip with Walkup on public lands without going through a drawing required of other hunters, the Star said. DNR offi cials said they are investigating whether any rules were broken.

In one email three months before Ivy Tech posted an opening for chief security offi cer, Walkup sent an email to Carter suggesting the DNR chief would soon take over the post. Carter was later hired for the $120,000 position, giving

him a $10,800 raise, in a move that Ivy Tech offi cials say Walkup endorsed.

Carter, a former county sheriff and director of law enforcement at the DNR, said he broke no DNR rules in arranging the hunting trip. Ivy Tech offi cials said Walkup was not involved in Carter’s hiring.

Ethics experts and others said they found the emails disturbing.

“It puts into question the integrity of a whole educational system,” said Richard Painter, who was chief ethics lawyer for former President George W. Bush.

“It’s obviously disheart-ening to have the chairman of the board of Ivy Tech sending sexist emails to the future director of security, who is charged with protecting women on the college’s campus,” said Dan Murphy, president of the Indiana chapter of the American Association of University Professors.

Ex-Ivy Tech chairman’s emails probed

College opening doors to special needs students

FRANKLIN (AP) — Students with special needs who have attended four years of high school can move on to college with their peers through a new program at Franklin College.

The program that starts in January is a partnership between the college and Special Services Johnson County. The Daily Journal reported it will allow up to a dozen students in special education classes to take one college course a semester for one to two years and work in the community.

The program is expected to fi ll a key gap for students with special needs who might never receive a high school diploma. Indiana law allows such students to continue taking high school classes until age 22, but many aren’t ready to live independently when school ends, said Franklin schools special education director Mindy Staton.

“They’re so used to living bell to bell,” Staton said. “That’s not life. We’re trying to help these students become successful adults. There’s a big gap now because their whole world is planned, then suddenly they’re on their own.”

The goal of the program is to make students employable, but it also will allow them to learn about things they might not have had the chance to study, organizers said.

ELKHART (AP) — Like all good teachers, Ryan Gortney has a tremendous heart for his students.

That fact is proven each day in the amount of work Gortney does just to get to the Elkhart Area Career Center for the start of school.

“I get up at 5 a.m. every day and go to the gym for two hours of therapy so I can get to school by 7:30 to start class,” Gortney told The Elkhart Truth. “I get off at 3:30, go home to grade papers and relax to try and get revamped for the next day.”

Gortney was seriously injured on June 3, 2012, when he crashed while testing his “wheelie wagon” — a hand-crafted specialty vehicle that can reach 130 mph in a quarter-mile — at the Osceola Dragway.

The crash fractured Gortney’s neck and back in 12 places, punctured a lung and lacerated his spleen and liver. Doctors said the vertebrae in his neck actually exploded, and bone fragments went into his vocal cords and arteries. Even with a titanium rod in his neck, doctors gave Gortney less than a 15 percent chance of ever walking again.

Gortney has already beaten those odds, thanks to a strong belief in God and the tough rehab work he’s been going through.

“It really seems like it’s just a blink of an eye

since the crash happened, but here we are 15 months later,” Gortney said. “I’m working hard to get to the point where I can walk totally unassisted, no cane, no walker and defi nitely no wheelchair.”

As part of his rehab, Gortney uses the swimming pool at Elkhart Memorial High School two days a week to help him regain his mobility. Doctors say the resistance and weightless-ness the water provides will help tighten his muscles and help him regain the mobility he has lost.

“Right now, I use a cane about 30 percent of the time, a walker 30 percent and a wheelchair about 40 percent,” Gortney said. “Obviously, I can’t walk very fast, so if I need quick mobility or if I’m fatigued, I’ll use the chair.

“I can’t say enough about how great the Elkhart school system has been through our entire ordeal. Not only did they wait for me to get stronger, but they’ve allowed me to do a lot of rehab at their facili-ties.”

Last May, while still in the early stages of his rehab, Gortney helped coach two teams in the Hot Rodders of Tomorrow program at the Career Center. Incredibly, both teams are among 24 that qualifi ed for the national fi nals, which will be held at the Performance Racing Industry show in Indianap-olis in December.

Teacher defi es odds to return to Elkhart classroom

BASAVILBASO, Argentina (AP) — Argentine farmworker Fabian Tomasi was never trained to handle pesticides. His job was to keep the crop-dusters fl ying by fi lling their tanks as quickly as possible, although it often meant getting drenched in poison.

Now, at 47, he’s a living skeleton, so weak he can hardly leave his house in Entre Rios province.

Schoolteacher Andrea Druetta lives in Santa Fe Province, the heart of Argentina’s soy country, where agrochemical spraying is banned within 550 yards of populated areas. But soy is planted just 33 yards from her back door. Her boys were showered in chemicals recently while swimming in the backyard pool.

After Sofi a Gatica lost her newborn to kidney failure, she fi led a complaint that led to Argentina’s fi rst criminal convictions for illegal spraying. But last year’s verdict came too late for many of her 5,300 neighbors in Ituzaingo Annex. A government study there found alarming levels of agrochemical contamina-

tion in the soil and drinking water, and 80 percent of the children surveyed carried traces of pesticide in their blood.

American biotechnology has turned Argentina into the world’s third-largest soybean producer, but the chemicals powering the boom aren’t confi ned to soy and cotton and corn fi elds.

The Associated Press documented dozens of cases around the country where poisons are applied in ways unanticipated by regulatory science or specif-ically banned by existing law.

The spray drifts into schools and homes and settles over water sources; farmworkers mix poisons with no protective gear; villagers store water in pesticide containers that should have been destroyed.

Now doctors are warning that uncontrolled pesticide applications could be the cause of growing health problems among the 12 million people who live in the South American nation’s

vast farm belt.In Santa Fe, cancer rates

are two times to four times higher than the national average. In Chaco, birth defects quadrupled in the decade after biotechnology dramatically expanded farming in Argentina.

“The change in how agriculture is produced has brought, frankly, a change in the profi le of diseases,” says Dr. Medardo Avila Vazquez, a pediatrician and neonatolo-gist who co-founded Doctors of Fumigated Towns, part of a growing movement demanding enforcement of agricultural safety rules. “We’ve gone from a pretty healthy population to one with a high rate of cancer, birth defects, and illnesses seldom seen before.”

A nation once known for its grass-fed beef has undergone a remarkable transformation since 1996, when the St. Louis-based Monsanto Co. promised that adopting its patented seeds and chemicals would increase crop yields and lower pesticide use.

Clooney’s ‘Gravity’ pulls it weight at box offi ce

HOLLLYWOD — “Gravity” outweighed the box offi ce for the third week

In the No. 2 spot was

“Captain Phillips” with $17.3. The Tom Hanks fi lm, which is based on a true story, has grossed a total of $53.3 million in two weeks.

Horror remake “Carrie” took the third spot with an even $17 million in its opening weekend. It was followed by “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2,” which took in $10.1 million in its fourth weekend of release.

Coming in at No. 5 was “Escape Plan” with $9.8 million. “Prisoners” and “Enough Said” followed with $2.1 million and $1.8 million, respectively.

“The Fifth Estate,” based on WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange (Benedict Cumberbatch) came in at a disappointing ninth spot. The fl ick, which grossed just $1.7 million.

Bomber kills scores at Baghdad cafe in day of violence

BAGHDAD (AP) — A suicide bomber slammed his explosive-laden car Sunday night into a busy cafe in Iraq’s capital, part of a day of violence across the country that killed 45 people, authorities said.

The bombing at the cafe in Baghdad’s primarily Shiite Amil neighborhood happened as it was full of customers. The cafe and a nearby juice shop is a favorite hang out in the neighborhood for young people, who fi lled the area at the time of the explosions.

The blast killed 35 people and wounded 45, Iraqi offi cials said.

Violence has been on the rise in Iraq following a deadly crackdown by security forces on a Sunni protest camp in the northern town of Hawijah in April. At least 385 have died in attacks in Iraq so far this month, according to an Associated Press count.

Iranian warns of nuclear pressues

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran’s parliament speaker warned Sunday that lawmakers could call for stepped-up atomic work if the West presses too hard for concessions in ongoing nuclear negotiations.

The message from Ali Larijani — less than a week after talks resumed — appears aimed at both envoys from the West and Iran’s negotiation team, which is led by Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif. It also highlights the political jockeying inside Iran between backers of moderate-leaning President Hassan Rouhani and hard-liners wary of his outreach to Washington.

Larijani’s comments follow appeals by some members of the U.S. Congress to tighten sanctions on Iran despite the nuclear negotiations and historic diplomatic breakthroughs last month, including President Barack Obama’s telephone call to Rouhani.

Larijani, meanwhile, told Iran’s representatives that parliament would not permit world powers to impose “special measures” on the country beyond the obligations laid out by the U.N. treaty overseeing nuclear activity, such as U.N. monitoring and inspection.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Last week, President Barack Obama gathered some of his top advisers in the Oval Offi ce to discuss the problem-plagued rollout of his health care legisla-tion. He told his team the administration had to own up to the fact that there were no excuses for not having the health care website ready to operate on Day One.

The admonition from a frustrated president came amid the embarrassing start to sign-ups for the health care insurance exchanges. The president is expected to address the cascade of computer problems today during an event at the

White House.Administration offi cials

say more than 476,000 health insurance applica-tions have been fi led through federal and state exchanges. The fi gures mark the most detailed measure yet of the problem-plagued rollout of the insurance market place.

However, the offi cials continue to refuse to say how many people have actually enrolled in the insurance markets. And without enrollment fi gures, it’s unclear whether the program is on track to reach the 7 million people projected by the Congres-sional Budget Offi ce to gain coverage during the

six-month sign-up period.The fi rst three weeks

of sign-ups have been marred by a cascade of computer problems, which the administration says it is working around the clock to correct. The rough rollout has been a black eye for Obama, who invested signifi cant time and political capital in getting the law passed during his fi rst term.

The offi cials said technology experts from inside and outside the government are being brought in to work on the glitches, though they did not say how many workers were being added.

Offi cials did say staffi ng has been increased at call

centers by about 50 percent. As problems persist on the federally run website, the administration is encour-aging more people to sign up for insurance over the phone.

The offi cials would not discuss the health insurance rollout by name and were granted anonymity.

Despite the widespread problems, the White House has yet to fully explain what went wrong with the online system consumers were supposed to use to sign up for coverage.

Administration offi cials initially blamed a high volume of interest from ordinary Americans for the frozen screens that

many people encountered. Since then, they have also acknowledged problems with software and some elements of the system’s design.

Interest in the insurance markets appears to continue to be high. Offi cials said about 19 million people have visited HealthCare.gov as of Friday night.

Of the 476,000 applica-tions that have been started, just over half have been from the 36 states where the federal government is taking the lead in running the markets. The rest of the applications have come from the 14 states running their own markets, along with Washington, D.C.

PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Back in custody after using forged documents to escape their life sentences, two convicted killers were being grilled on Sunday by law enforcement authorities who said they expect to make more arrests in a case that has given both court and corrections offi cials in Florida a black eye.

Among the questions being posed to Joseph Jenkins and Charles Walker: Who forged the papers? Who helped you run from police? What other prisoners have gotten away with this? Who was coming from Atlanta to whisk you out of Florida?

“I can tell you, there will be more arrests,” Florida Department of Law Enforcement Commissioner Gerald Bailey told a news conference Sunday, hours after Jenkins and Walker, both 34, were arrested without incident at a motel in Panama City.

“We will be backtracking to those who helped carry out this fraud and along the way we will be looking closely at anyone who may have helped harbor these fugitives,” Bailey said.

Jenkins and Walker, both 34, were captured Saturday night at the Coconut Grove Motor Inn in Panama City Beach, a touristy area of putt-putt courses and go-kart tracks. Hours earlier, their families had held a news conference in Orlando — 350 miles away — urging them to surrender.

The men, who had fl ed the Orlando area after word of their ruse became public, did not know law enforcement was on the way to Panama City. They were waiting in the motel for someone to arrive from Atlanta to take them out of state, Bailey said, adding that authorities don’t yet know who that person was or where the convicts planned to go.

Florida asks: How? BEIRUT (AP) —

Refl ecting confusion in efforts to convene an international conference to end Syria’s civil war, the Arab League chief announced on Sunday that talks will take place next month in Geneva, only to have the U.N. envoy fl atly deny a date has been set.

The bizarre diplomatic two-step between Arab League chief Nabil Elaraby and the U.N. envoy for Syria, Lakhdar Brahimi, at a joint news conference added to the uncertainty surrounding the proposed peace talks. A decision over whether the long-delayed negotiations will happen at all could come at a meeting of the Syrian opposi-tion early next month that will focus on whether to sit down with President Bashar Assad’s regime.

The United States and Russia, who support opposing sides in the confl ict that has killed more than 100,000 people, have been trying for months to bring the Damascus government and Syria’s divided opposition to the table for a peace conference. But with the war deadlocked, neither the regime nor the rebels showed any interest in compromise, forcing the meeting to be repeatedly postponed.

Even now, it remains unclear whether either side is willing to negotiate.

The main Western-backed opposition umbrella group, the Syrian National Coalition, is scheduled to meet Nov. 1-2 in Istanbul to decide whether to take part in the proposed Geneva conference. One of the most prominent factions within the Coalition, the Syrian National Council, has said it has no faith in talks with Assad’s regime and won’t attend any Geneva negotiations.

But the Coalition’s ability to speak for the broader rebellion has long been in dispute, and fi ghters inside Syria have accused the opposition leaders in exile of being out of touch with reality on the ground.

Confusion over Syrian conference

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The lost-and-found items at Indianapolis International Airport are all over the place — sunglasses, paperback books with Fabio on the cover, a mint julep cup with the names of the Kentucky Derby winners since 1875 — and it all gets shunted away into a closet under the main stairway.

There it gathers dust and is forgotten.

One item, however, airport staffers haven’t forgotten, can’t forget. It’s a cardboard box the size of toaster. It weighs maybe seven pounds. Someone has written on it “PERCY COLVIN,” and in fact, the box’s contents would appear to be Colvin — his earthly remains, his ashes, a fi ne gray powder.

The ashes, or cremains, were left behind in the terminal’s lower level, near baggage claim — in 2010. Somebody turned them in to airport offi cials, who at fi rst placed them in the lost-and-found but soon transferred them to the security of the airport police department’s

evidence room. They fi gured someone would come forward to claim the ashes. But three years later, nobody has.

First the airport police and then an airport attorney tried to get to the bottom of it by calling the funeral home that handled the arrangements, and the church where the funeral was held. Nothing came of it. They called the Marion County coroner, but Colvin was not a “coroner’s case,” meaning foul play had not been suspected (the death certifi cate says Colvin died of lung cancer), and so the coroner’s staffers could only shrug.

“Maybe it was decedent’s last wish to stay in the airport, or travel the world,” chief deputy coroner Alfarena Ballew told The Indianapolis Star. “You know how people have those wishes to have ashes spread out in the ocean or something. Or maybe the family was attempting to take him home.”

Colvin, according to his death certifi cate, was born, in 1938, in Romulus, Ala., in rural Tuscaloosa County. It is unclear when he moved to Indianapolis, but he may well have been part of the Great Migration, the mostly post-World War II movement of some 7 million blacks from the rural south to northern U.S. cities. Colvin worked as a machinist, according to his death certifi cate. He was widowed. He had at least two children. They declined to comment for this story.

And so what exactly Colvin’s cremains were doing near the airport’s baggage claim in 2010

remains a mystery.It’s possible that in

a post-9/11 world with sometimes confusing rules over what a person can and can’t bring onto an airplane there was a mix-up at an airport checkpoint, and Colvin’s cremains were abandoned in a panic, or accidentally. Several years ago at the Indianapolis airport a man attempting to bring his father’s ashes onto a plane created a major stir — after the man had been waived through a checkpoint, a Transpor-tation Security Adminis-tration offi cer had second thoughts and tried to fi nd him, couldn’t fi nd him and so sounded the alarm: 500 people were evacuated and eight fl ights delayed.

Some airlines don’t allow cremains as carry-on. The TSA allows cremains, but with conditions: “If the container is made of a material that generates an opaque image, the Transpor-tation Security Offi cer will not be able to clearly determine what is inside the container and the container will not be permitted.”

Unclaimed cremains aren’t that uncommon. There are laws governing them — in Indiana, funeral homes must hold cremains 60 days before disposing of them but typically hold them much longer. “Funeral directors are loathe to get rid of ashes,” said Curtis Rostad, executive director of the Indiana Funeral Directors Association, “out of, I’d suppose, respect, and the thought that someday someone might show up and want those ashes back.”

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — The last piece of legislation President John F. Kennedy signed turns 50 this month: the Community Mental Health Act, which helped transform the way people with mental illness are treated and cared for in the United States.

Signed on Oct. 31, 1963, weeks before Kennedy was assassinated, the legisla-tion aimed to build mental health centers accessible to all Americans so that those with mental illnesses could be treated while working and living at home, rather than being kept in neglectful and often abusive state institutions, sometimes for years on end.

Kennedy said when he signed the bill that the legislation to build 1,500 centers would mean the population of those living in state mental hospitals — at that time more than 500,000 people — could be cut in half. In a special message to Congress earlier that year, he said the idea was to successfully and quickly treat patients in their own communities and then return them to “a useful place in society.”

Recent deadly mass shootings, including at the Washington Navy Yard and a Colorado movie theater,

have been perpetrated by men who were apparently not being adequately treated for serious mental illnesses. Those tragedies have focused public attention on the mental health system and made clear that Kennedy’s vision was never fully realized.

The legislation did help to usher in positive life-al-tering changes for people with serious illnesses such as schizophrenia, many of whom now live normal, productive lives with jobs and families. In 1963, the average stay in a state institution for someone with schizophrenia was 11 years. But only half of the proposed centers were ever

built, and those were never fully funded.

Meanwhile, about 90 percent of beds have been cut at state hospitals, according to Paul Appelbaum, a Columbia University psychiatry professor and expert in how the law affects the practice of medicine. In many cases, several mental health experts said, that has left nowhere for the sickest people to turn, so they end up homeless, abusing substances or in prison. The three largest mental health providers in the nation today are jails: Cook County in Illinois, Los Angeles County and Rikers Island in New York.

BY CHRISTINA DYMOCK“A successful marriage

requires falling in love many times, always with the same person.” — Mignon McLaughlin

We thought we had it all — a beautiful house, three healthy children and one more on the way, two cars, a couple of four-wheelers for entertain-ment — and we loved it. We spent money like it was going out of style. Then the market turned and my husband’s job as a bigwig

at a construction company was gone. The company had declared bankruptcy and was closing down for good.

We both started looking for jobs right away, but there weren’t any to be found. With each passing day our panic increased and we continued to work together in order to pull our family through. The more we pulled together, the closer we got. I felt feelings of adoration for my husband that I hadn’t felt in years.

That’s why it was so hard for me to watch him blame himself for our current situation. I knew that he had no control over

the economy; however, he constantly degraded himself, and his spirits sunk lower with each snide comment. I continually asked him to stop, but he seemed to want to punish himself for not having a job.

Finally, one afternoon, I pulled him aside and said: “We have four healthy children and each other. That’s what’s important. That makes you a rich man.”

“But what if we lose the house? They’ll hate me — you’ll hate me,” he replied.

I smiled at him and put my hands on both sides of his face to make him look me in the eye. “If we live in a cardboard box on the empty lot across the street I will be happy — as long as I have you.” I smiled again as I realized that I wasn’t just saying it. Somehow, in all the struggling together I had found that deep abiding love for him that I had on the day we said “I do.”

A mother and wife fi nds the good in her family’s situation

ROME CITY — Once you see this quaint cottage-style home, you’ll fall in love with it but that wasn’t always the case. When Dawn O’Connor and Holly Goneau decided to purchase this foreclosure with lake access, they had every intention of remodeling it down to the studs. But substantial damage from termites, evidence of fi re, and a deteriorating founda-tion forced them to tear down and rebuild.

The new home they built at 198 Weston Ave. in Rome City is included on this year’s Rome City Chamber of Commerce Holiday Walk on Nov. 16.

The women’s business,

H & D Painting, specializes in new construction and remodeling so they did most of the work themselves. The 1920s kitchen sink and pre-1900s pantry doors were repurposed and reused from some other home remodeling jobs.

The spacious front porch is perfect for visiting with neighbors and friends.

This house refl ects the spirit of giving at Christmas. There is a “Rescue Me” tree inside to benefi t the animal shelter. Rescue dogs, Daisy, a Chihuahua/poodle mix and Thistle, a Brussels griffon mix, approve of the project.

A friendship tradition is bringing a gift to place under the tree. It is their

hope that one day there will be a waiting list of people to adopt pets, not the pets waiting on the people. When you visit this home, feel free to take a gift for the animal shelter to put under the tree.

Other homes on the tour are those of Tony and Tracey Freiburger, 1498 North Shore Drive, Dave and Cindy Wick, 781 E. Willow Lake, Steinbarger Lake, and John “Jack” and Martha Evans at 501 Lions Drive.

The tours will run from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tickets are available at the Specialty House, Limberlost Library, the Rome City Town Hall and at each home the day of the event.

out what plans cover them. “I wish there was more detail, so you could really fi gure it out,” he said.

Such a nuanced critique appears to be lost on congres-sional Republicans.

“#TrainWreck: Skyrock-eting Prices, Blank Screens, & Error Messages,” screamed the headline on a press release Friday from House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio. A House hearing on the “botched Obamacare rollout” is scheduled for this coming week. GOP lawmakers want Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius to resign.

Administration offi cials, in their most detailed accounting yet of the early rollout, said Saturday that about 476,000 health insurance applications have been fi led through federal and state exchanges. But the offi cials continue to refuse say how many people have enrolled in the insurance markets.

Without enrollment fi gures, it’s unclear whether the program is on track to reach the 7 million people projecting by the Congres-sional Budget Offi ce to gain coverage during the six-month sign-up period.

The president was expected to address the

problems on Monday during a health care event at the White House. The adminis-tration has yet to fully explain what has gone wrong with the online signup system.

“To our Democratic friends: You own ‘Obamacare’ and it’s going

to be the political gift that keeps on giving,” said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C.

“Irrespon-sible obsession,” scoffs Rep.

Sander Levin of Michigan, ranking Democrat on the Ways and Means Committee, which oversees much of the health law.

Democratic pollster Celinda Lake says she doesn’t see how going after the health law rollout will help Republicans by the time of next year’s election.

“Americans are technology optimists,” said Lake. “You tell them the website has problems today, and they’ll assume it will be better tomorrow. I mean, we’re Americans. We can fi x a website.”

There may be a method to the GOP’s single-minded-ness.

Republicans are intent on making the health law an uncomfortable anchor around the neck of four Democratic senators seeking re-elec-tion in GOP-leaning states, weighing them down as they try to unseat them. Republi-cans need to gain six seats to seize the majority in the Senate, and any formula for control includes fl ipping the four seats.

Sens. Mark Pryor of Arkansas, Mary Landrieu of Louisiana, Mark Begich of Alaska and Kay Hagan of North Carolina will be facing voters for the fi rst time since they were among the 60 Democrats who voted for the health law in 2009.

More than a year before the election, Republican Rep. Tom Cotton is airing an ad that criticizes Pryor for his vote, telling Arkansans that Pryor “cast the deciding vote to make you live under Obamacare.” The commer-cial’s fi nal image shows Pryor with Obama, who took a drubbing in Arkansas last year.

“The bottom line is these candidates will have to answer for why they voted for this bill,” said Rob Engstrom, senior vice president and national political director for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

GOP: Obamacare suppose to reach 7 million peopleFROM PAGE A1

margin.• Senate Republican

leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky is catching heat for helping reopen the government. McConnell agrees with many of his fellow GOP senators that the shutdown was bad strategy and must not be repeated. That puts him on the wrong side of the party’s tea party wing, and a tea party-backed candidate is challenging McConnell in the primary for his Senate seat.

The tea party

The tea party, billed as a movement of the people, is getting slammed in national polls. Democrats say its belligerent tactics have been discredited. Much of the Republican establishment agrees.

Tea party lawmakers don’t care.

Tea party favorites in Congress are more focused on the opinions of voters back home, their big money supporters and outside groups, such as Heritage Action, that infl uence elections.

Cruz, criticized by many fellow Republicans for fomenting the standoff, says he’s content to be “reviled

in Washington, D.C., and appreciated in Texas.”

Cruz says he remains as determined as ever.

“I would do anything, and I will continue to do anything I can,” he said, “to stop the train wreck that is Obamacare.”

Role of government

Did Americans learn anything from the partial shutdown?

Obama says it showed just how many things, large and small, the government does to help people.

Conservatives saw the opposite lesson — that federal workers can disappear without being missed.

There’s some evidence for both ideas.

Lots of people were inconvenienced and some lives were seriously disrupted, but most Americans weren’t personally touched by the shutdown. Less than one-third said someone in their home was affected, according to an NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll conducted Oct. 7-9.

That doesn’t mean they shrugged off the effects beyond their front door.

About two-thirds in that poll felt the shutdown was harming the economy. Consumer confi dence dropped to its lowest level in more than a year, according to Gallup polling.

The economy

Forget turkey dinners and sleigh bells in the snow. Washington’s new tradition is scaring holiday shoppers.

Last year politicians slowed sales by hanging the threat of a “fi scal cliff” over the holiday season, before working out a deal in the new year.

This year, the govern-ment shutdown already has taken a toll. Economists and Standard & Poor’s estimate that it cost the economy $24 billion, or about $75 for every U.S. resident.

Consumers may stay worried, especially if they hear bad news from Republican and Democratic lawmakers who are meeting over the next two months in hopes of reaching a spending deal to avert another fi scal

standoff in January.

America’s Image

Sure, it’s embarrassing. America’s image took a hit. Other countries are snickering.

Obama says the latest spectacle depressed the nation’s friends and heartened its enemies. But it shouldn’t have surprised them much. The world has witnessed three years of stalemates and standoffs between Democrats and Republicans since the GOP won control of the House in 2010.

In the long view, the U.S. reputation, and especially its appeal for investors, doesn’t dent easily. After all, where else can the world park its money? Treasury bonds have scant competition as the safest place to stash reserves.

The latest brouhaha should fade quickly because it stopped short of the feared outcome — a default on Treasury bonds that would tarnish their spotless image.

If that threat remerges in January, the world will be watching.

Health-care law

Conservatives again failed to drive a stake through the heart of “Obamacare.”

Indeed, the health law may have been strengthened by their latest attack.

The government shutdown was designed as a megaphone for critics of the law, but their timing was off. The uproar ended up distracting the public from the bungled rollout of a key portion of the health program — the website people use to shop for insurance.

Despite computer problems that are keeping many would-be customers from signing up, overall impressions of the health care law have held steady in polls.

That doesn’t mean the law is popular. It remains controversial, with Americans just as likely to say it was a bad idea as a good one.

Boehner says when it comes to defeating “Obamacare,” Republicans won’t give up.

scanning a basement where he now envisions a bar, widescreen TV and pool table.

“It used to be the kids’ play area,” said the father of three, now in their early 20s.

The basement has been dedicated to the puzzle since Christmas 2009, when his wife, Helen, gave it to him as a gift. He started working on Jan. 2, 2010, and fi nished May 2, 2013.

“A total of 31 people helped out,” said Briskey. “We kept record of our time, our days.” Among his statis-tics are how many pieces were put together each day.

A train conductor whose job sometimes takes him away for stretches of time, Briskey always has enjoyed puzzles. He would put them together on a coffee table with his children.

When he heard about the world’s largest puzzle, marketed by Educa Borras, he wanted it right away.

Titled “Life,” the mural depicts animals, sea life and the cosmos in a detailed, colorful, blended montage. It took shape in the Briskey home, a curiosity for visitors and a pastime for Steven.

One time, his mother, Jequeta Briskey of Stryker, Ohio, brought people from the senior citizens’ home she works at to visit, “so they could put a puzzle piece in or just see it,” said Briskey.

His mother spent a lot of time in the basement with him over the past several years working on the puzzle, along with friends, his wife and his children.

“A year ago, I realized I was missing a piece,” Briskey said. He kept working, and then, when he got down to one empty slot on the picture, he knew the piece was truly gone.

He ordered that one piece from the Spanish manufac-turer and waited weeks for it to arrive in the mail so he could mount the puzzle. It now hangs on a wall in the basement, supported by polystyrene board, a bottom rail and metal support bars.

He was given a much smaller, 3,000-piece replica of “Life” that he plans to do next, though that one he can assemble upstairs in the living room, he said.

And, if he decides he wants to go for another record, a new world’s largest puzzle — at 32,000 pieces — is now available.

Packers beat BrownsGREEN BAY, Wis.

(AP) — Aaron Rodgers, despite an undermanned cast, vs. Brandon Weeden was no contest.

Rodgers threw for 260 yards and three touchdowns, Eddie Lacy ran for another score, and the Packers grinded out a 31-13 win Sunday over the Cleveland Browns.

Lacy fi nished with 82 yards, while tight end Jermichael Finley had a 10-yard touchdown catch in the fi rst quarter before leaving with a neck injury.

Green Bay (4-2) won its third straight and took over fi rst place in the NFC North.

Rodgers fi nished 25 for 36 in methodically carving up Cleveland (3-4) despite already being without two of his top targets in injured receivers James Jones and Randall Cobb.

Then Finley left with about 10 minutes to go with a neck injury after a late hit by Brown safety Tashaun Gipson on a 10-yard gain. He was carted off the fi eld, and the team later said Finley had movement and feeling in his extremities.

The defense took care of the rest against a struggling Weeden, who fi nished 17 for 42 for 149 yards. The Browns’ Jordan Cameron caught a 2-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter to cut the lead to 11 with 6:09 left.

Cleveland thought it caught a huge break after recovering an onside kick, only for the play to be erased by an offside penalty.

The Packers got the ball back, and Rodgers found Jarrett Boykin for a 20-yard touchdown and a 31-13 lead. Boykin, making his fi rst start at receiver with Jones and Cobb out, fi nished with eight catches for 103 yards.

Peyton welcomed back to IndianapolisDenver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning (18) runs out on the fi eld before an NFL football game against the Indianapolis Colts Sunday in Indianapolis. Complete coverage of the Broncos-Colts game can be found online at kpcnews.com.

DETROIT (AP) — In a scene emblematic of Detroit’s postseason downfall, Max Scherzer could only watch.

In fact, there was little any of the Tigers’ starting pitchers could have done differently to prevent another disappointing ending to a fi ne year.

“Normally if you pitch the way we pitched in this series, you would probably think that you had won,” manager Jim Leyland said.

The Tigers lost the AL champi-onship series to Boston in six games because the few weaknesses they had all seemed to hurt them at the worst possible time. Whether it was an unreliable bullpen, poor baserunning or shaky fi elding, the Red Sox took advantage of every Detroit fl aw.

Now the Tigers must look ahead to 2014, with a core of players that has done everything Detroit could ask for — except win a World Series for the Motor City for the fi rst time since 1984.

The fi rst question — as it was last offseason — is whether Leyland will be back. He’s been working on one-year contracts the last couple seasons, and although he’s given no indication he plans to leave, nothing is offi cial.

The Tigers have won three straight AL Central titles and reached the ALCS each of those years. The 2012 season ended when Detroit was swept in the World Series by San Francisco, and this year’s team nearly won the pennant again on the strength of a stellar starting rotation.

Scherzer, Justin Verlander, Anibal Sanchez and Doug Fister combined for a 2.39 ERA as starters in the postseason, but the Tigers weren’t able to take advantage. After beating Oakland in a fi ve-game division series, Detroit blanked Boston 1-0 in Game 1 of the ALCS and had a 5-0 lead in Game 2 — but David Ortiz’s series-turning grand slam off closer Joaquin Benoit helped the Red Sox rally to win that game.

In Game 3, Justin Verlander allowed his only run of the postseason, and that was enough for a 1-0 win by Boston. Detroit’s once-powerful offense became increasingly limited because of injuries to Miguel Cabrera and Prince Fielder’s inability to hit for power.

A grand slam by Shane Victorino — again off a Detroit reliever after Scherzer had been pulled — enabled the Red Sox to end the series with a win in Game 6.

“The difference really, when you look at the series, is they hit a couple of big bombs and we just didn’t quite do that,” Leyland said. “They hit a couple of timely, two or three really timely home runs.”

Starting rotation not enough for Tigers

AP

Cincinnati Bengals kicker Mike Nugent (2) kicks a 54-yard fi eld goal against the Detroit Lions in

the fourth quarter of an NFL game Sunday in Detroit. Cincinnati beat the Lions 27-24.

LANDOVER, Md. (AP) — Still far from being a good team, the Washington Redskins are at least a successful team for a change.

The Redskins gave up a special teams touchdown to Devin Hester — who didn’t see that coming? — and had their defense shredded by a backup quarterback playing his fi rst regular season game in 21 months.

They took advantage of an injury-depleted Chicago Bears defense and scored their most points since 2005, needing every morsel of offense from Robert Griffi n III and Co., right down to Roy Helu’s game-deciding 3-yard touchdown with 45 seconds remaining.

They beat the Bears 45-41 Sunday, raising their record to 2-4

while not doing much to alleviate the doubts surrounding the reigning NFC East champions.

“When we go watch the fi lm,” Griffi n said, “we won’t watch it with smiles on our face. … But I think we made enough plays today to win the game, and that’s all matters.”

Griffi n completed 18 of 29 passes for 298 yards with two touchdowns and one interception, and he also ran 11 times for a season-high 84 yards. Helu rushed for three scores, and third-round rookie tight end Jordan Reed had a breakout performance with 134 yards and a touchdown, catching all nine passes thrown his way.

“Every game is big, but we sure needed it after being 1-4,” coach Mike Shanahan said. “You don’t

Cutler hurt in Bears’ loss

DETROIT (AP) — Andy Dalton and Matthew Stafford combined to throw a lot of highlight-worthy passes — especially to A.J. Green and Calvin Johnson.

But the Cincinnati Bengals used superior special teams for a second straight hard-fought road win, 27-24 against the Detroit Lions on Sunday.

Mike Nugent’s 54-yard fi eld goal as time expired won it, but two punts and a blocked fi eld goal also were crucial.

“We wrote a pretty good script there at the end,” Bengals coach Marvin Lewis said.

The AFC North-leading Bengals (5-2) won a game for the second straight week by the same score thanks to Nugent’s right foot. He made an overtime kick to give

Cincinnati a win after it blew a 14-point, fourth-quarter lead at Buffalo.

“I love how confi dent everyone always is,” Nugent said. “Nobody freaks out. I think it all begins with (Marvin Lewis) because he and his staff don’t get too high or too low.”

The Lions (4-3) rallied from an 11-point, third-quarter defi cit and looked as if they did enough to send the game to OT, but rookie Sam Martin shanked a punt just 28 yards to midfi eld in the fi nal minute.

“I thought they were going to try blocking the punt and I rushed myself,” Martin said. “I was trying to put the ball on the sideline and keep it away from the returner and I pulled it.”

Dalton threw two short passes to gain 15 yards and called the team’s

last timeout with 4 seconds left to set up Nugent’s game-winning fi eld goal.

“Pretty clutch kick, two weeks in a row,” Dalton said.

Dalton was pretty good again, too.

He was 24 of 34 for 372 yards, the third-highest total of his career and threw three touchdown passes for the second straight game. He didn’t have an interception.

After Dalton was sacked for the fi rst and only time Sunday, Bengals punter Kevin Huber hit a perfect, 45-yard punt that pinned Detroit to its 6 with 1:43 left.

“We were in a tough spot,” Stafford said. “If we would have dropped back in a pass play on that fi rst play, I would have been in my own end zone.”

Bengals prevail in Detroit

TALLADEGA, Ala. (AP) — Everyone expects the big one to happen at Talladega Superspeedway.

For some reason, it never occurred Sunday.

Oh sure, there was a wreck on the fi nal lap, which allowed Jamie McMurray to coast to the victory under caution.

But by the standards of this place, it was about as clean as can be.

“Once you get toward the end, it usually gets more intense and everybody starts taking bigger risks,” McMurray said. “I was listening to my spotter and he would say, ‘A line is forming, but it’s not very organized and they’re not making up any ground.’ I’m really surprised they couldn’t put something together to make more of a run. I’m shocked by that, actually. I thought guys would take bigger chances at the end.”

McMurray won for the fi rst time in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series since 2010, snapping a 108-race winless streak, and didn’t even have to worry about a planned last-lap charge from Dale Earnhardt Jr. after Dillon spun coming out of the second turn.

The only other driver collected

in the crash was Casey Mears, who slammed into Dillon’s car and sent it fl ying into the air before it came back down upright. Everyone was OK.

“I was trying to go for the win there,” said Dillon, who was fi lling in for injured Tony Stewart in the No. 14 car and competing in just his 12th Sprint Cup race. “A wild ride. I just have to thank NASCAR for everything they have done for safety. That hit was fi ne. I got to drive the car back” to the garage,

though he settled for 26th after going to the fi nal lap in third.

A race known for massive crashes was essentially trouble free. There was a minor wreck early on when Marcos Ambrose got loose in front of the main grandstand and took out Juan Pablo Montoya, and 103 consecutive laps under green until the yellow and checkered fl ags waved together at the end.

Earnhardt settled for second, followed by Ricky Stenhouse Jr., Paul Menard and Kyle Busch.

The Redskins’ two victories have come against backup QBs — Matt Flynn, who has since been released by the Oakland Raiders — and now Josh McCown, who entered Sunday’s game in the second quarter after Jay Cutler left with a groin injury.

McCown was seeing his fi rst action since the 2011 season, but the Bears improved with him in the game. Chicago had 46 yards of total offense in the fi rst half and 313 in the second. He completed 14 of 20 passes for 204 yards, including a 7-yard touchdown pass to Martellus Bennett that gave his team a 41-38 lead with 3:57 to play.

“I didn’t ask him what he liked, what he didn’t like,” Bears coach Marc Trestman said. “I just called the plays according to the plan we had put together. I thought he functioned very well in the offense.”

Matt Forte rushed for three touchdowns, Alshon Jeffery had 105 yards receiving, and Hester tied Deion Sanders’ NFL record for return touchdowns with an 81-yard punt runback, but the Bears (4-3) couldn’t keep up because the defense was running out of playmakers.

Having already lost middle linebacker D.J. Williams and two defensive tackles to season-ending injuries, Chicago had to make do without linebacker Lance Briggs (shoulder) and Charles Tillman (knee) down the stretch after both were hurt in the second half.

“They’ve been here a long time, made a lot of plays. Defi nitely wish we could have had them out there,” linebacker Jonathan Bostic said.

Cutler was injured when he was brought down on the fi rst career sack by 333-pound nose tackle Chris Baker. Cutler clutched at the top of his left leg and limped off the fi eld. He will have an MRI on Monday. Trestman didn’t have an update on Briggs or Tillman.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Jamaal Charles ran for 86 yards and a touchdown, Alex Smith also ran for a score and the scrappy Chiefs held off the banged-up Houston Texans 17-16 on Sunday to remain unbeaten.

The Chiefs were forced to punt the ball to Houston with 1:46 left in the game. But after Case Keenum threw an incompletion on fi rst down, the young quarterback was stripped by linebacker Tamba Hali at his 2. Derrick Johnson recovered the fumble for the Chiefs.

Kansas City (7-0) extended the second-best start in franchise history. The 2003 team began the season 9-0.

Keenum, making his fi rst NFL start in place of the injured Matt Schaub, threw for 271 yards and a touchdown for the Texans (2-5). But he didn’t get much help from his run game after Arian Foster left in the fi rst quarter with a hamstring injury and did not return.Jets 30, Patriots 27, OT

In East Rutherford, N.J., Nick Folk kicked a 42-yard fi eld goal with 5:07 left in overtime. Folk got a second chance after he missed a 56-yarder moments earlier. But Chris Jones was called for unsportsmanlike conduct for pushing a teammate forward to try to block the kick, a new NFL rule.

New York, given new life, ran the ball three times to set up Folk’s winner.

Geno Smith threw a touchdown pass and ran for another score as the Jets (4-3) topped Tom Brady and the Patriots (5-2). New England tied it at 27 with 16 seconds left in regulation on Stephen Gostkowski’s 44-yard fi eld goal.Steelers 19, Ravens 16

In Pittsburgh, Shaun Suisham drilled a 42-yard fi eld goal with no time remaining. Suisham’s fourth fi eld goal of the day pushed the Steelers (2-4) to their second straight win.

Ben Roethlisberger completed 17 of 23 passes for 160 yards and a touchdown. He hit Antonio Brown

for a pair of big gains on Pittsburgh’s fi nal drive, putting Suisham well within range to win it. Running back Le’Veon Bell ran for a season-high 93 yards on 19 carries.

Joe Flacco passed for 215 yards and a touchdown, but couldn’t stop the defending Super Bowl champions (3-4) from losing for the third time in their last four games.49ers 31, Titans 17

In Nashville, Tenn., Colin Kaepernick threw for 199 yards and ran for 68 and a touchdown. The 49ers (5-2) won their fourth straight before heading to London for a game with winless Jackson-ville by jumping out to a 17-0 halftime lead. Frank Gore also ran for a pair of 1-yard TDs as San Francisco cruised.

The Titans (3-4) lost their third straight even with Jake Locker starting after missing two games with a sprained right hip and knee. Locker threw for 326 yards with two TD passes in a fourth-quarter spurt that came up short.Cowboys 17, Eagles 3

In Philadelphia, Tony Romo threw for 317 yards and one touchdown and the Cowboys overcame a sluggish start to take sole possession of fi rst place in the NFC East.

Two teams that averaged a combined 58 points per game and allowed a combined 55 totaled 13 punts in a fi rst half that ended with Dallas (4-3) leading 3-0. It was more two inept offenses than two dominant defenses.

The Eagles (3-4) have lost a franchise-worst nine straight games at home.

A Cowboys defensive line missing three of its projected starters pressured and harassed Nick Foles before sending him to the sideline with a head injury on the last play of the third quarter.Falcons 31, Buccaneers 23

Matt Ryan threw for 273 yards and three touchdowns, including two to Jacquizz Rodgers, and host Atlanta snapped its three-game losing streak.

Harry Douglas had seven receptions for a career-best 149 yards, including a 37-yard touchdown catch, for the Falcons (2-4).Bills 23, Dolphins 21

In Miami Gardens, Fla., Mario Williams forced a fumble when he sacked Ryan Tannehill with less than three minutes left, setting up the winning fi eld goal. Dan Carpenter beat his former team by making a 31-yarder with 33 seconds to go.Panthers 30, Rams 15

Cam Newton completed 15 of 17 passes for 204 yards and a touchdown for host Carolina in a heated game.

The Rams (3-4) lost their cool with several personal foul penalties — and then lost quarterback Sam Bradford to an apparent left knee injury late in the fourth quarter.Chargers 24, Jaguars 6

Philip Rivers threw for 285 yards and a touchdown, Ryan Mathews ran for 110 yards and a score for visiting San Diego.

Irish QB Rees day-to-day

SOUTH BEND (AP) — Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly sounded hopeful quarterback Tommy Rees will be ready to play Saturday against struggling Air Force after sustaining a neck injury against USC.

“He’s feeling better today. Still a little sore, but it will be a day-to-day situation,” Kelly said Sunday.

Kelly said he expects Rees to practice Tuesday. The Fighting Irish (5-2) probably need Rees to heal quickly after seeing the offense become incapacitated when Rees left the game with a sprained neck with 9 minutes left in the third quarter when linebacker Lamar Dawson sacked him.

With backup Andrew Hendrix in the game, the Irish managed just two fi rst downs and the Irish went three-and-out on three other posses-sions and lost the ball on a fumble on another.

The Irish offense wasn’t dominating against USC, but looked solid while Rees was in. Rees completed 14 of 21 passes for 166 yards and two touchdowns in the 14-10 victory.

“We liked the way he played,” Kelly said.Fans may have a renewed fondness for

Rees after seeing how the Irish offense looked in his absence. Rees, who lost the starting job after his sophomore season after throwing 14 interceptions and fumbling the ball away fi ve times in 2011, was roundly booed when he was called on to replace Everett Golson against Purdue in the second game last season. But his popularity grew as he rallied the Irish to victories last season against Purdue, Michigan and Stanford and started in a victory over BYU and played a signifi cant role in helping the Irish get to the BCS championship game.

MSU wins with little fanfareEAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Last

year, Michigan State needed to win its fi nal game of the regular season to become bowl eligible.

No need for that kind of drama in 2013. The Spartans have already picked up win No. 6 — and they can expect to be fi rmly in the Big Ten title hunt when November rolls around.

Michigan State eased past Purdue 14-0 on Saturday to remain one of three teams unbeaten in Big Ten play. The Spartans didn’t look sharp at all offensively — and coach Mark Dantonio even considered a quarterback change — but the team’s stellar defense was again up to the challenge.

Michigan State (6-1, 3-0 Big Ten) is atop the Legends Division, although the Spartans remained outside the Top 25 on Sunday. It was not a particularly stylish win against Purdue (1-6, 0-3), which had been routed by Wisconsin and Nebraska in its fi rst two conference games.

The toughest part of Michigan State’s schedule is still to come. After playing at Illinois next weekend, the Spartans face Michigan, Nebraska and Northwestern in consecutive games.

“Hopefully, our football team is maturing as we move forward,” Dantonio said. “We’re understanding that nothing is easy, and we mature and we grow. With every game we grow. That doesn’t mean we’re always going to have success, but we grow with that.”

Denicos Allen returned a fumble 45 yards for a touchdown to open the scoring Saturday. On offense, the Spartans didn’t make it past the Purdue 32-yard line until the fourth quarter, when receiver Tony Lippett threw a 5-yard touchdown pass to Andrew Gleichert on a trick play.

Blue Jackets best CanucksCOLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — R.J.

Umberger scored his fi rst goal of the season with 8:46 left and the Columbus Blue Jackets ended a four-game losing streak with a 3-1 victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Sunday night.

Curtis McElhinney, making his fi rst appearance for the Blue Jackets in place of Vezina Trophy winner Sergei Bobrovsky, had 37 saves. Bobrovsky had the night off.

Marian Gaborik and Ryan Johansen also scored for the Blue Jackets, who won for the fi rst time at home this season after losing their fi rst two.

Henrik Sedin had the goal for the Canucks. Eddie Lack stopped 26 shots in place of Roberto Luongo, rested on the second night of back-to-back games for Vancouver.

Umberger and Johansen each had an assist as well.

Phelps still mum on comebackBY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Michael Phelps has been working out with his former coach but there is no word yet on a return to swimming for the Rio Olympics.

Bob Bowman told The Associated Press on Sunday that Phelps has been taking part in workouts with the North Baltimore Aquatic Club. He’s not yet committed to the sort of grueling program that would be needed if he decided to return to competition.

In fact, Phelps attended an NBA preseason game in China on Friday, visiting a country where he has extensive endorse-ment deals and remains extremely popular.

“He is occasionally training with the group to get back in shape,” Bowman wrote in a text to the AP.

Phelps and Bowman remain close friends and business partners.

Initially adamant he would never compete again, Phelps softened his stance this past summer after reports began swirling of an imminent comeback. He told the AP during the world championships in Barcelona, “I don’t know what’s going to happen in the future. I don’t know what’s going to happen tomorrow.”

AHS juniors win powder puff football gameA team of Angola High School junior girls pose for a picture after defeating a team of AHS senior girls in the annual powder puff football game on Oct. 9 at the school’s soccer fi eld. Approximately 50 junior and senior

girls played in the game that was sponsored by Angola’s Student-Ath-lete Advisory Council. Fans who attended the entertaining contest gave canned goods which went to Project Help.

A kid outside the popular clique impresses so many classmates — especially those belittled by the in-crowd — that she wins the election for class president. Irked by her encroachment into their hallway hierarchy, the preppies shun her. They snub her idea for school spirit rallies. They plan their own homecoming bonfire to compete with the traditional one she’ll preside over. She arranges a wear-our-school-colors day for Fridays; they wear them on Thursdays.

You have to wonder how a school principal or counselor would handle such behavior. What word would they use to describe such disrespect?

Someone within the leadership of the majority party ruling Indiana government should step up and be the metaphorical football team captain who breaks ranks with the clique and shows up at the class president’s bonfire. A Republican in a power position at the Statehouse should stand beside Glenda Ritz and affirm her authority to perform the duties of state superintendent of public instruc-tion — the full duties of that job, just as an overwhelming number of Hoosiers elected her to do last November.

Since taking office in January, Ritz has seen her office’s powers usurped and circumvented by an ideological circle ruling Indiana government still stung by her surprising electoral defeat of Republican former state superintendent Tony Bennett.

Though Ritz was a lifelong Republican, the veteran teacher ran as a Democrat to challenge Bennett, a national star of the school-reform movement. Though outspent by a 10-to-1 margin, Ritz received more than 1.3 million votes.

Ritz polled more votes for superin-tendent than Mike Pence, a former Republican congressman, did in his narrow victory in the governor’s race.

The most powerful of Bennett’s allies have yet to accept that outcome. Their rejection of Ritz’s authority has reached a level of incivility beyond any in recent memory within the state education structure.

Last spring, Pence and aligned GOP legislators essentially created a second state education department to go around Ritz. They shifted $5 million for staffing the State Board of Education from Ritz’s office to the governor’s, setting up a new career-training and education agency that Pence unveiled in August. A more overt attempt by Bennett backers in the Legislature to dilute Ritz’s role by overhauling the State Board and the Indiana Education Roundtable was appropriately stopped in the 2013 General Assembly session.

The shunning continues, though. Last month, one of the 10 members of the State Board — all appointed by either former Gov. Mitch Daniels or Pence — established a strategy planning committee to lead the board and determine priorities for the next three years.

The new strategy panel is backed by all of the State Board members except Ritz, who holds the chairperson’s seat as superintendent. By contrast, Ritz was backed by 1.3 million Hoosier voters.

Ritz campaigned hard in opposi-tion to limits on teachers’ collective bargaining, private-school vouchers and the A-F school rating system pushed by Bennett, Daniels, national reformists and like-minded state lawmakers.

Yet, since her term began, she has gone to great lengths to collaborate with those of opposing viewpoints. A solid core still refuses to work with her. Unless someone intercedes, the childish, detrimental tactics will continue, especially in the upcoming 2014 legisla-tive session.

“I just think there will probably be things coming through the legislative process that will try to diminish my power as superintendent,” Ritz told The Associated Press on Wednesday. “They could include removing me as chair of the board; they could include overseeing more of my budget; they could include overseeing of data.”

Such ideological bullying should not happen. Indiana voters deserve better. In their behalf, a high-level Republican — perhaps House Speaker Brian Bosma — needs to be a voice of reason and publicly support Ritz in the manner of the loyal opposition.

Hoosier school children need that hero.

East Noble students seeking help for Honor Flights for area veterans

To the editor:On behalf of the East Noble High School

Interact Club, I would like to invite our East Noble Community to join in our efforts to honor our veterans. Our current project is helping to fund the Spring 2014, Honor Flight Trip for our local veterans. The World War II Memorial in Washington DC was completed and dedicated in May 2004. It is a long overdue “Thank You” to the men and women who sacrifi ced so much for our freedom and a memorial to those who made the ultimate sacrifi ce. It was so long overdue that many WWII survivors have been unable to visit their memorial due to the barriers of advanced age, such as health matters, stamina, fi nances or other travel impairments.

Honor Flight provides a way for many of these veterans to visit and refl ect at their memorial. The immediate focus of the Honor Flight Network will remain on WWII veterans; however, the vision goes beyond WWII. In the future, Honor Flight plans to pay tribute to America’s other heroes that served during the Korean and Vietnam wars, followed by veterans of more current wars. They, too, have given much and it is time to honor these heroes for all of their enduring efforts.

Our club goal is to raise $10,000 so that we may recognize our local heroes. If you would like to help in our cause, please feel free to contact me at pinena@eastnoble.net, or in care of East Noble High School at 347-2032 and leave a message for Matthew Rickey. Donations may also be made to “Honor Flight” East Noble Interact Club, 901 Garden Street, Kendallville IN 46755.

We value our freedom and know that we

owe our freedom to the men and women who fought to preserve it. Each of us have family members who served or are currently serving in the U.S. military, and we appreciate the sacrifi ce and bravery of our troops and all of our veterans. We want to say “Thank You” to our World War II heroes before it’s too late!

‘If the government wants to shut down, we should shut them down’

To the editor:I have a proposal to the American

people… This government shut down is affecting everyone’s lives whether they know it or not.

I suggest that if the government wants to shut down we shut them down. Those who work and pay federal and state taxes can change their exemptions on their state and federal payroll forms to modify what is withheld. I say let’s play their game!

Actions seem to contradict each other

To the editor:First of all, “There is never an excuse or

justifi cation for hatred, greed or abuse.”A man puts the “Ten Commands” on one

end of his property, then brags about the image he let be displayed on his video sign just a few feet away. Go fi gure.

But the sad thing is he sees nothing wrong with it. He only thought about himself. Not what it might do to his community, nor did he care. And this

person is a business man? Not!Vicki DomerWolcottville

Albion Rotary grateful for strong support of porkburger fundraiser

To the editor:Twice a year (for many years) the Albion

Rotary Club sponsors a pork burger sale in Albion. Generally held at the stoplight in town, the sale is well received by the community, offers a great opportunity for the club’s members to work together for a common cause and realizes a profi t which is used for post-secondary scholarships for Central Noble Students.

Thanks are due to many vendors, businesses, community members and Rotarians. Your friends and neighbors benefi t from your generosity!

Most recently, Nick Busche and Busche Enterprises have placed orders of 750+ sandwiches when the sale is conducted in the spring and fall. It takes a well organized Rotary team to pull this off — cooking and delivering the food for three shifts of workers. Thank you, Lori Busche, for your help with planning. It’s certainly a kindness by management to supply “lunch” to its employment group. AND, it creates real IMPACT when the Albion Rotary Club is able to realize a doubled profi t of its annual sales.

Thank you to the Albion community, its businesses, and particularly Busche Enterprises for partnering with the Rotary Club. Our promotion of continued education for our school’s high school graduates is important. This community’s strong collab-oration makes it happen!

WASHINGTON — Two things are often said in this town: “A day is a year in politics.” And, “It’s all about 2014.”

Combined, the two statements mean that much can happen between now and the midterm elections next year when Republicans hope to hold the House and gain the Senate — and Democrats intend to hold the Senate and recover the House.

Each respective goal is equally possible depending on the same single signifi cant determi-nant: Whether Ted Cruz stops talking.

While that thought settles in, we pause to note that right now, the idea that Republicans could convince anyone that they should be allowed to deliver milk, much less hold the nation’s purse strings, seems remote. But things do change quickly around here. With the debt crisis postponed and the government up and running again — faith in the effi ciency of which underscores how dire our political straits — most Americans will settle into the season’s serial holiday distractions and move right along.

Nothing to see here. Even the barricades are gone.

As all know, the fi xes recently applied are temporary and the new year brings fresh problems — implementation of Obamacare and our gluttonous debt, just to name

a couple.Tax and entitlement reform

were the real targets for House Speaker John Boehner, who tried in vain to convince his colleagues that they’d have greater leverage

during debt-ceiling negotiations. Instead, the tea party insurrectionists in the House, incited by Cruz, opted to defund Obamacare, a doomed effort from the start. Farewell leverage.

This is history now. What lies ahead is the GOP’s internal struggle to determine which wing of the party prevails. And which wing prevails likely will determine the balance of power come 2014.

Suffi ce to say, if Cruz’s voice drowns out the so-called establish-ment voices, Republicans may as well start investing in camels. The desert awaits.

The House may be less problematic because many Republicans, thanks to gerryman-dering, are secure in their conser-vative districts. The Senate poses greater challenges, but the National Republican Senatorial Committee has been busy recruiting and training candidates who can bridge the gap and win both primaries and general elections, especially focusing on states where Democrats either are vulnerable (Arkansas) or are retiring (South Dakota, Montana and West Virginia).

This is where Cruz re-enters

the picture. Extreme voices may win primaries, but they do not win statewide elections, especially in a nation where a majority self-iden-tify as centrist. This is a lesson Republicans have learned before but that stubborn factions, who would rather tether themselves to a fl agpole than run the fl ag across a fi nish line, seem unable or unwilling to embrace.

Think back to 2010 and Delaware’s Christine “I’m Not A Witch” O’Donnell and Nevada’s Sharron “Some Latinos Look More Asian To Me” Angle. And then, who can forget 2012’s stars: Richard Mourdock, who explained that rape pregnancies are gifts from God, and Todd Akin, who explored the nuances of “legitimate rape.”

Cruz comes off as smarter than all of the above combined. There’s a reason so many outside the Beltway admire him. To those who feel jilted by the system and insulted by critics, he is a vision of palm trees, dates and fountains. He articulates what they think and feel and, as a bonus, he’s got that Latino thing.

But Cruz is a mirage — an idea conjured in a fantasy that can’t be realized in reality. Like many successful politicians (and narcissists), he refl ects back to others their own projected needs and desires. But then reality sets in — the debt-crisis deadline looms or the defunding ruse is exposed as theater — and only dust and dung remain among the shards of mirrored glass.

To the most important point —

the crux of Cruz: The only person who loves Ted Cruz more than Ted Cruz is Barack Obama. It is the White House and Democrats, not Republicans, who have advanced the idea that Cruz is the face of the GOP. Remember when the White House insisted that Rush Limbaugh was the leader of the GOP? These narratives are useful to Democrats because they loonify the GOP, driving voters away from their fi ery rhetoric just as intense heat repels any sensible mammal.

Cruz and Co. were more useful than Democrats could have hoped for as Obamacare limped out of the starting gate. One can bet that the greater the “glitches,” the bigger the megaphone for Cruz — the useful genius.

The only hope for Republicans going forward is that Cruz resists the allure of his own voice.

DEAR DOCTOR K: My mother recently had a stroke, and it’s severely impacted her ability to speak. What can be done to help her regain her speech?

DEAR READER: Losing the ability to speak, or to understand speech, takes away an important part of ourselves -- the ability to communicate easily with others. I would rather be blind or deaf than unable to speak or to understand others. But there is hope that your mother can improve.

A stroke occurs when a blood vessel supplying the brain bursts or becomes blocked. In both cases, the injury deprives the brain of a constant supply of oxygen- and nutrient-rich blood. Brain cells can die, possibly aff ecting a person’s ability to move, feel, think or even recognize people. In your mother’s case, it has

taken her ability to speak.Your mother should

begin a rehabilitation program with a speech-lan-guage pathologist as soon

as she is able. Th is therapist will help your mother improve her capacity to speak and understand speech.

Th e two most common stroke-re-lated speech impair-ments are aphasia and dysarthria.

Aphasia is the loss

of the power to use or understand words. In most people, it occurs when a stroke damages the left side

of the brain, which is where language is processed. Some people with aphasia have trouble talking but can easily understand speech. Others talk easily but can’t understand what people are saying.

Rehab for someone with aphasia involves speech and language exercises that help the patient regain the ability to understand, speak, read and write. Exercises include repeating words a therapist says, practicing following directions, and practicing reading and writing. Group therapy sessions pro

vide opportunities to practice talking with others who are recovering from strokes. A therapist may also recommend a voice-output, or speech-generating, device to aid communication in daily life.

Dysarthria is the inability to speak because the stroke

has weakened the muscles of the tongue, palate and lips — the parts of the mouth that utter words. With dysarthria, a person can understand speech and form proper words in his mind, but just cannot get the words out of his mouth. Persons with dysarthria oft en can write their thoughts down perfectly well even though they cannot speak them out loud.

A person with dysarthria can do exercises to help increase strength and endurance in the muscles used for speech. Th e therapist also helps to improve enunciation. He or she might recommend speaking more slowly or taking deeper breaths before speaking.

DEAR ABBY: Last summer, aft er 24 years of marriage, I fi nally summoned the nerve to take my teenage daughter and leave my emotionally abusive husband. We are both thriving now. I have been in therapy, lost almost 45 pounds and have rediscovered my self-con-fi dence all over again. A friend I have known for more than 10 years has expressed interest in dating me. I like him very much, but I’m not sure if it would be appropriate to date yet. What do you think? — TENTATIVE IN MASSACHUSETTS DEAR TENTATIVE: Tempting as this is, proceed with caution. When a person has been emotionally starved for a long time, then begins to feel attractive, accepted and validated again, the result can be euphoria — a powerful “high.” Right now you need to be rational. What I think about

your dating this man is less important than what your therapist thinks right now.

Please make this question a priority during your next sessions because the insight you’ll gain into yourself will help you not only in a relationship with this man — if you decide to have one — but in future ones as well. DEAR

ABBY: My boyfriend of two years, “Jesse,” has suddenly changed. He’s pushing me away. We are both 17 and have a 9-month-old baby. Jesse spent the fi rst six months of our son’s life in state custody. Since he has

been back, he has been really distant. He ignores me and isn’t aff ectionate anymore. When I get upset about it, he denies it and says I have no reason to be upset. I’m scared our relationship isn’t as strong as I thought. My son deserves a family, but it’s falling apart. What should I do? — TROUBLED IN TENNESSEE DEAR TROUBLED: You have no idea what might have happened to Jesse aft er he was sent away, so give him some space, but let him know that if he wants to talk about it, you are willing to listen and be supportive. Don’t push and don’t be clingy. You may have to be strong for all three of you. Complete your education, take parenting classes, and encourage Jesse to do it, too. Do this and your son WILL have a family, whether or not it’s the one you thought you’d have with Jesse.

FRESNO, California (AP) — Trucks loaded with tomatoes, milk and almonds clog the two main highways that bisect California’s farm heartland, carrying goods to millions along the Pacifi c Coast and beyond. This dusty stretch of land is the starting point for one of the most expensive U.S. public infrastructure projects: a $68 billion high-speed rail system that would span the state, linking the people of America’s salad bowl to more jobs, opportunity and buyers.

Five years ago, California voters overwhelmingly approved the idea of bringing a bullet train to the most populous U.S. state. It would be America’s fi rst high-speed rail system, sold to the public as a way to improve access to good-paying jobs, cut pollution from smog-fi lled roadways and reduce time wasted sitting in traffi c while providing an alternative to high fuel prices.

Now, engineering work has fi nally begun on the fi rst 30-mile segment of track here in Fresno, a city of a half-million people with soaring unemploy-ment and a withering downtown core littered with abandoned factories and shuttered stores.

Rail is meant to help Fresno, with construction jobs now and improved access to economic opportunity once the project is fi nished. But the region that could benefi t most from the project is also where opposition to it has grown most fi erce.

“I just wish it would go away, this high-speed

rail. I just wish it would go away,” says Gary Lanfranco, whose restau-rant in downtown Fresno is slated to be demolished to make way for rerouted traffi c.

Such sentiments can be heard throughout the Central Valley, where roads are dotted with signs such as: “HERE COMES HIGH SPEED RAIL There goes the farm.” Growers complain of misplaced priorities, and residents wonder if their tax money is being squandered.

Aaron Fukuda, a civil engineer whose house in the dairy town of Hanford lies directly in one of the possible train routes, says: “People are worn out, tired, frustrated.”

Voters in 2008 approved $10 billion in bonds to start construction on an 800-mile rail line to ferry passengers between San Francisco and Los Angeles in 2 hours and 40 minutes, compared with 6 hours by car now during

good traffi c. Since then, the housing market collapsed, multibillion-dollar budget defi cits followed, and the price tag has fl uctuated wildly — from $45 billion in 2008 to more than $100 billion in 2011 and, now, $68 billion.

Political and fi nancial compromises led offi cials to scale back plans that now mean trains will be forced to slow down and share tracks in major cities, leading critics to question whether it will truly be the 220-mph “high-speed rail” voters were promised.

The high-speed rail business plan says trains will run between the greater Los Angeles area and the San Francisco Bay Area by 2029. But construction has been postponed repeat-edly, and a court victory this summer by opponents threatens further delays; a Sacramento County Superior Court judge said the state rail authority’s plan goes against the promise

made to voters to identify all the funding for the fi rst segment before starting construction.

Even the former chairman of the California High-Speed Rail Authority, Quentin Kopp, has turned against the current project, saying in court papers that it “is no longer a genuine high speed rail system.”

In the Central Valley, there is intense distrust of the authority, which has started buying up property, land and businesses, some of which have been in families for generations.

At the dimly lit Cosmopolitan Cafe, offi ce workers line up alongside farmers and paramedics to order sandwiches as waitresses expeditiously call out order numbers. Four decades’ worth of memorabilia and yellowing newspaper restaurant reviews line the faux-wood walls in the space that Lanfranco has owned for most of his life.

Lanfranco says the sum he was offered to buy the property does not come close to replacing the space he owns, debt-free. The adjacent parking lot — a rare commodity — is packed with pickup trucks and cars each day at lunchtime. Lanfranco declined to say how much he was offered, and the offers are not public record.

“It’s not like it’s just a restaurant that I’ve owned for a couple of years and now I can just go replace it. It’s something that I’ve put the last 45 years of my life into,” the 66-year-old says.

His is just one of hundreds of properties the state needs to buy for the rail project or seize through eminent domain if they cannot reach a deal. Many owners are resentful after years of what they say have been confusing messages and misleading information.

Rail offi cials acknowl-edge that the agency hasn’t always communicated with those most affected by the project, and part of their work in the Central Valley is strictly public relations.

“Frankly, it set us back, because we, in effect, created questions and even opposition by just failing to give people answers,” says Jeff Morales, the authority’s chief executive offi cer since 2012.

For supporters, high-speed rail is the solution to California’s future transportation needs, when the state’s already jammed, rutted highways and busy airports won’t be enough for a population expected to hit 46 million by 2035.

It will create hundreds of good-paying jobs for several years as offi cials tear down buildings, draw engineering plans, survey wildlife and, eventually, lay track. It will also help move the Central Valley beyond the dominant low-wage agriculture sector, Morales says.

High-speed rail opponent Aaron Fukuda poses in front of his Hanford, Calif., home that lies directly in one of the planned train routes. Fukuda is one of many land owners in the Central Valley

who have sued to try to stop the $68 billion project. The state is buying up hundreds of properties to start construc-tion of the fi rst 30-mile segment of the rail line.

Controversy comes with high-speed railNot everyone happy with $68 billion California dealCAIRO (AP) —

Egyptian anti-riot police fi red tear gas Sunday at hundreds of supporters of the country’s ousted Islamist president, besieging them inside a prestigious Muslim institution after stone-hurling protesters cut off a main road.

Sunday’s clashes marked the second day of unrest at Al-Azhar University, Sunni Islam’s most prominent center of learning. Many supporters of ousted President Mohammed Morsi’s Muslim Brother-hood are students at Al-Azhar, a stronghold of the group. The campus is also near where Islamists had a sprawling protest camp that security forces raided in August, leaving hundreds dead and sparking days of unrest.

The students’ protest started with a march inside campus, where protesters hurled stones at the administrator’s offi ces, smashing windows and breaking doors, said Ibrahim el-Houdhoud, deputy head of the university. He told satellite news channel Al-Jazeera Mubashir Misr that he warned protesters against leaving campus and clashing with security forces.

The protesters however ignored the advice, marching out of the main gates to hold “prayers for the dead” — honoring students killed in earlier clashes between security forces and protesters in July.

The protests come amid heated debate over a new law that would place tougher restrictions on demonstrators, which includes imposing heavy fi nes and possible jail time on violators.
