Busche to add 24 jobs in Albion BY BOB BRALEY bbraley@kpcmedia.com
BY MIKE MARTURELLO mmarturello@kpcmedia.com
ALBION — An Albionbased company will add 24 new jobs next year, thanks to a new contract. Busche has been awarded a contract from Z.F. Industries out of Marysville, Mich., for the machining of Chrysler companion flanges for the Chrysler 300M, Dodge Challenger and Dodge Charger programs. The Z.F. purchase order provides tooling for more than 400,000 components annually from Busche. The new program will be run on existing equipment at Busche‘s Plant 8 facility in Albion. Pre-production approval is scheduled for January 2014 with production ramping up in July of 2014. “The program will require production on all three shifts with eight operators per shift, creating a total of 24 jobs,” said Busche estimating manager Art Givens. “This is our first direct order with Z.F.,” said Busche president and CEO Nick A. Busche. “We just received our vendor number and are pleased Z.F. has put their confidence in our machining abilities and the service we can provide. “We look forward to working with the Z.F. team on this project and additional programs in the future.” Two engineers from Z.F. Industries were at the Busche factory on Tuesday. Heidi Fecteau, technical buyer and supplier quality engineer, and Earl Hanselman, supplier quality engineer of axle drives for passenger cars, toured the facilities and presented the Z.F. purchase order to Busche officials. Busche is a computer numerical control (CNC) production machining organization, employing more than 650 skilled employees at their nine production facilities located in northeast Indiana and northern Alabama. Busche specializes in the machining of intricate castings and forgings for the automobile, agricultural, and durable goods industry.
ANGOLA — Jennifer Creighton is like many people who are going to have decisions to make when it comes to signing up for insurance once the Affordable Care Act is implemented in January.

The timing couldn’t be better for Creighton, 27, Lake James. She is covered through her mother’s employer until age 28, which she will turn in January. At that time, she’s will have to take advantage of one of the new federal insurance exchanges being offered by ACA, better known
as Obamacare, or face income tax penalties. “In January I’m going to have to figure something out,” said Creighton, who works two Creighton part-time jobs in Steuben County and isn’t offered insurance through either of her employers. “I’m hoping it will work out great for me that the (exchange) insurance
will take over when I fall off of my mom’s in January. You know, I’ve never had to think of this before.” Under the ACA, people who currently Kidd do not have health insurance must sign up through a federal exchange or face a tax penalty at the end of the year starting in SEE ENROLLMENT, PAGE A2

Sister Elsie Fregeau, 79, stands behind the pulpit at Calvary Lutheran Church in Cromwell. After serving the church in her retirement for nearly
eight years as interim minister, she will retire from Calvary on Sunday.
Divine detour coming to end Sister Elsie Fregeau has served 8 years at church BY JAMES TEW jtew@kpcmedia.com
CROMWELL — This is not what Sister Elsie Fregeau had planned for her retirement. “I think God has a remarkable sense of humor,” she said, sitting behind her cluttered pastor’s desk in the pastor’s office at Calvary Lutheran Church in Cromwell, “because I never, ever wanted to work in a parish.” Her title for six more days is interim minister, even though the “interim” has lasted nearly eight years. Lacking ordination, Sister Elsie can’t officially hold the title of pastor, but that doesn’t mean much in the day-to-day life of the church. “If you ask people in this congregation what I am, they

would say, ‘She’s our pastor,’ because that’s what I do for them,” she said. Her plan upon retirement when she moved to Sylvan Lake — close to her family in Kendallville — was to work in hospice; she had served as hospice chaplain at Lutheran General Hospital in suburban Chicago for the previous nine years. “I love working with hospice people, with hospice patients, with the staff, the nurses and the social workers, and being a supportive person there as a part of that team.

WASHINGTON (AP) — With the government teetering on the brink of partial shutdown, congressional Republicans vowed Sunday to keep using an otherwise routine federal funding bill to try to attack the president’s health care law. Congress was closed for the day after a post-midnight vote in the GOP-run House to delay by a year key parts of the new health care law and repeal a tax on medical devices, in exchange for avoiding a shutdown. The Senate was to convene this afternoon, just hours before the shutdown deadline, and Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., had already promised that majority Democrats would kill the House’s latest volley. Since the last government shutdown 17 years ago, temporary funding bills known as continuing resolutions have been noncontroversial, with neither party willing to chance a shutdown to achieve legislative goals it couldn’t otherwise win. But with health insurance exchanges set to open on Tuesday, tea-party Republicans are willing to take the risk in their drive to kill the health care law. Action in Washington was limited mainly to the Sunday talk shows and a barrage of press releases as Democrats and Republicans rehearsed arguments for blaming each other if the government in fact closes its doors SEE STALEMATE, PAGE A6

Q She cannot be denied coverage or charged a higher premium based on her condition or her gender. She will also have a cap on out-of-pocket expenses and no lifetime coverage limit. Q Mental health care and prescription drugs are included in the core benefits of marketplace-based plans.
Drawbacks under the health overhaul law
Q He will be fined for not carrying health insurance: beginning in 2014, 1 percent of his income, eventually growing to 2.5 percent of income or $695, whichever is greater. Q As a young, healthy person, he may wind up paying relatively more for a premium, since he will be helping defray costs for older and sicker consumers who cannot be charged more based on health status.
Q She makes more than 4 times the federal poverty level for an individual, which means she is not eligible for a government subsidy to lower premium prices. Q She is required to carry health insurance or pay a penalty, but she would be exempted if the lowest cost coverage available to her exceeded 8 percent of her income, $3,840 a year.
YES
NO

NO
Q Can keep existing health plan, provided her employer continues to offer it. Q The plan must offer free preventive services, allow children under 26 to remain on the plan and cap out-of-pocket costs.
YES
Q His child could stay on his coverage until age 26. Q If his state doesn’t expand Medicaid, he may not be able to afford private insurance through a new marketplace, which, given his income, should not exceed 2 percent of his annual income, $240 a year. Q If his income drops below $11,490 — the federal poverty level for an individual — he will not be eligible for a premium subsidy, due to a quirk in the law.
Q Considered a “Cadillac Plan� under the law (a plan valued at more than $10,200 for an individual or $27,500 for a family), a tax of 40% will be levied on the value of the plan exceeding those amounts, payable by the insurer. This could lead the insurer to modify the plan, drop it or pass the tax on to the worker through higher premiums, deductibles or copays. The tax will be assessed beginning in 2018.
Q Even with the tax credit, the cost of providing health insurance may be more than he can afford. Q If he expands his business to employ more than 50 full-time employees, he will be required to provide health insurance or face a fine of up to $2,000 for each employee after the first 30. He could also be fined if he chooses a plan that is not considered comprehensive or affordable. Businesses will not have to comply with this provision of the law until 2015. AP
ENROLLMENT: For LaGrange County, a health organization in Goshen can help 2014. People in northeast Indiana can start signing up for insurance through the federal health care website starting Tuesday, save for congressional action that would block implementation of the law or a shut down of the federal government. The program isn’t fully implemented until January, and there’s a grace period to sign up. In Indiana, people have to sign up through a federal exchange. Other states have opted to offer their own health insurance exchanges. There’s plenty of time to study the options and make decisions, people familiar with the ACA say. “The other thing to remember is open enrollment starts Oct. 1 and goes until March 31, so you have a full six months to make your decision,� said Elizabeth Surgener, spokeswoman for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services. Not much human help is available in northeast Indiana for people who are trying to wade their way through the system. Some, who already have private insurance, say they are having difficulty dealing with their insurers. Angie Kidd of Ligonier is currently insured by one of the four insurance companies

authorized in Indiana to provide coverage through the health exchanges and is already seeing ramifications in anticipation of Obamacare taking effect. In Indiana, people needing insurance through the ACA must go through the federal exchange, then decide which coverage best suits their needs and budget. One of those insurers is Anthem Blue Cross-Blue Shield. “I’m just trying to keep the insurance I have and still be able to afford it. It just went up $500 annually in anticipation of the rollout. They (the insurance company) keep sending me letters telling me they are working to protect my coverage,� Kidd said. Kidd, through her role as an occupational therapy provider, has come across many people who have issues with the coming of Obamacare. “As a medical professional, I see way too much beyond what has affected

example, the HHS report shows that a 27-year-old living in Indiana who makes $25,000 per year will pay $80 per month for the lowest cost bronze plan and $145 per month for the second lowest cost silver plan, taking into account tax credits. For a family of four in Indiana with an income of $50,000 per year, the lowest bronze plan would cost only $46 per month, taking into account tax credits. Not taking into account the possible tax credits, a 27-year-old individual would pay anywhere from $168 a month for bare-bones “catastrophic� coverage to $332 monthly for the least expensive of highesttier “gold� plans. And a hypothetical family of four with the second-lowest “silver� plan could pay up to $961 a month. The tax credits come when income tax returns are filed.

Hoosiers to start enrolling INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — More than 500,000 Indiana residents without health insurance will be able to start buying it Tuesday under the Affordable Care Act, but while some are likely to decipher the federal website on their own with a few computer clicks, others will need so-called “navigators� to guide them toward the right plan. Although the law that defined President Barack Obama’s domestic agenda remains a source of partisan gridlock in Washington, this week marks the rollout of the exchanges where uninsured residents can shop for coverage that most will soon be required to carry. Indiana was one of 36 states that opted not to run their own exchange, or online marketplace, deferring to the federal government to create it for them. The 34 health plans that will be sold on Indiana’s exchange range from less than $100 a month for bare-bones coverage for an individual to close to $1,000 a month for a family of four. The open enrollment period for buying insurance through the website (healthcare.gov) will run from Tuesday through March 31. Coverage will begin Jan. 1. But figuring out the system won’t be easy for everyone.

Stars take part in anti-poverty show NEW YORK (AP) — Stevie Wonder gave and electrifying performance at New York’s Central Park in front of thousands of fans and several world leaders Saturday, singing his hits and calling for an end to poverty worldwide at the Global Citizen Festival. Bono gave a funky, rousing introduction to Wonder, who headlined the second annual concert. Wonder wowed audience members, who danced and sang along to songs including “Superstition” and “Isn’t She Lovely.” “This is a global celebration,” Wonder yelled to the crowd. “We will end extreme world poverty in our lifetime.” Wonder has been a United Nations Messenger of Peace with a special focus on disabilities since 2009. Messengers have recognized talents in the arts, academia and sports and help bring attention to U.N. work. The Global Citizen Festival coincides with the U.N. General Assembly. Fans earned free tickets for helping spread the word or volunteering to help end world poverty. World leaders who attended

PHOENIX (AP) — From the triple-digit temperatures the day before to the gusty winds that kicked up in a matter of hours, nearly every detail leading up the June deaths of 19 Arizona firefighters has been painstakingly spelled out by investigators. Even though they say proper procedure was followed, the families of the Granite Mountain Hotshots, Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer and members of Congress have wasted no time in asking that lessons be learned from the deaths. The challenge now, experts say, is figuring out how to prevent another tragedy as the threat of wildfire shows no sign of diminishing in the nation’s overgrown, drought-stricken forests and foothills. One way, they say, is to invest in GPS tracking technology for firefighters. “Real-time information on the location of crews and the location of the fire, if those two things had been known, this accident could have been prevented,” said Bill Grabbert, a retired wildland firefighter, fire management officer and author. The results of a three-month investigation released Saturday outline a series of missteps by the crew and commanders who were fighting the Yarnell Hill Fire, but specific
causes for the deaths are not included. Grabbert said such “milquetoast-type reports” are the result of federal legislation that opened the door to firefighters potentially being charged criminally for making mistakes while battling a blaze. “It’s critically important that we learn from fires like this,” Grabbert said. “But with the guidelines for writing reports like this, you end up with things being soft-pedaled. That makes it difficult, or impossible, to learn lessons that can prevent fatalities.” A year after the deadly Thirtymile Fire in Washington state, Congress approved legislation in 2002 requiring an independent investigation whenever a U.S. Forest Service firefighter dies in an entrapment or burnover. In the Yarnell case, a team of local, state and federal fire experts conducted the investigation since the Granite Mountain Hotshots worked for the city of Prescott. Brewer, in a statement issued Saturday, said she hopes the findings can further the healing process and give guidance for firefighters in Arizona and around the nation. Other than reviewing communication plans and tracking firefighting crews, experts say the lessons from the Yarnell Hill Fire will

five-hour event, electrifying the crowd during his hourlong performance. He even teased concertgoers before singing “Signed, Sealed, Delivered I’m Yours.” “That’s it!” he yelled, then added: “Y’all wanna jam some more?” John Mayer also performed Saturday and was
a favorite with his solo work on the guitar. He was full of power when he performed “Slow Dancing In a Burning Room” and “Gravity.” “It’s so nice to be here,” he said. Other performers included Kings of Leon and Alicia Keys, whose set included “No One” and “Empire State of Mind.” “I believe if we don’t care about each other, who will?” the singer said. “Help me celebrate tonight so we never forget.” Wonder also had a touching moment when he sang John Lennon’s “Imagine” and encouraged the audience to lobby for more gun laws. “Can you believe blind people have guns?” he said. “Let’s keep it real. Ridiculous.” Last year’s Global Citizen Festival featured Neil Young and Crazy Horse, Foo Fighters and The Black Keys. The festival’s nonprofit partners pledged $1.3 billion in new fundraising commitments last year. Wonder, who played the piano and harmonica, was joined onstage by R&B singers Maxwell and Janelle Monae.

come only as firefighters and their commanders put themselves in the shoes of the Granite Mountain crew to understand what they were facing that day and how it played into their decision-making. The investigation revealed more than a half-hour of radio silence that occurred just before the Hotshots were overwhelmed by flames. It’s not certain why the crew left what was believed to be a safe spot on a ridge that had previously burned and unknowingly walked to their deaths in a basin thick with dry brush. At the time they died, an airtanker was circling overhead, confused about their location. The
command center thought the crew had decided to stay put in the blackened area. Despite identifying numerous problems, the report found that proper procedure was followed in the worst firefighting tragedy since Sept. 11, 2001. Rather than assigning blame, wildfire investigations in the last decade since the Thirtymile Fire have evolved into studies of what has worked on the fire lines and what hasn’t. Experts say the review of the Yarnell Hill Fire should prompt firefighters to ask themselves questions about how they would handle changes in weather or fire behavior and logistical challenges like radio traffic and miscommunication. One of the questions posed by the report gets to the heart of firefighting culture, said Dick Mangan, a retired U.S. Forest Service safety official and consultant. “‘What would you do if you were told to do nothing?’ That’s really key,” he said. “All wildland firefighters — for that matter all firefighters, all police officers, EMTs, ambulance drivers — we’re all driven to do good and sometimes your ambition to do good, or what you think is good, overrides your training and experience and puts you in a very dangerous situation.”

Becoming a writer not easy BY RORY C. KEEL
“Whether you think you can or think you can’t — you are right.� — Henry Ford What motivates me? The words “You can’t!� As a sandy-haired boy growing up in a small town in North Central Texas, my rebellious statements of, “Oh, yes I can,� or, “I’ll show you,� never failed to place me right in the middle of trouble. Because of my stubbornness, my mouth wrote several checks the seat of my pants had to pay. Now much older and somewhat wiser, my attitude doesn’t get me into trouble as often; it just fills out bigger checks. This is how I discovered my desire to write, and in a small way it continues to drive me to succeed. On a business trip in 2007, I made a point to stop at a small country cemetery near Eugene, Ore., to pay my respects at the gravesite of a dear friend buried there the previous year. While there, I noticed several old marble gravestones mottled with moss and worn from years of weather. One grave marker had the name Belknap carved into the face of it. This caught my attention, as it is my
mother’s family name. I recorded the information from the stone onto a piece of paper and carried it home. Researching reams of helpful genealogical records, I discovered a connection with a family member who had crossed the Oregon Trail in the 1800s. The excitement of reading all of this research consumed me. Full of information and facts, I told my wife: “I think this would make a good story. I should write a novel about a family and their struggles to cross the country.� To which my wife replied, “You can’t write a book.� “Yes, I can,� escaped from my lips. “You don’t know how to write a book,� she retorted. The truth hurts sometimes. However, my pride plugged my ears, and
out of the whole conversation I only heard two words: “You can’t.� Without hesitation, I shot back, “I bet I can have a manuscript ready to send to a publisher before you can.� “I accept that bet,� she said. My mouth wrote a check that I didn’t think my wife would really cash. Immediately, I began searching the Internet and found the Panhandle Professional Writers, a local writers’ organization, and joined in order to gain some knowledge of how to write a book. With the help of many other writers, my critique group and, yes, my wife, I have published several works. Today, as I continue to write and submit works to publishers, I get the dreaded rejection letters. I open them, read them and, no matter what the words might say, all I hear is, “You can’t write.� I slide the letters carefully into the plain manila folder next to the bright orange notebook with letters and contracts that say, “Oh yes, I can!� VISIT WWW.CHICKENSOUP.

STALEMATE: GOP won’t give in to Democrats FROM PAGE A1
at midnight today. “You’re going to shut down the government if you can’t prevent millions of Americans from getting affordable care,” said Rep. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md. “The House has twice now voted to keep the government open. And if we have a shutdown, it will only be because when the Senate comes back, Harry Reid says, ‘I refuse even to talk,’” said Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, who led a 21-hour broadside against allowing the temporary funding bill to advance if stripped clean of a tea party-backed provision to derail Obamacare. The effort ultimately failed. The battle started with a House vote to pass the short-term funding bill with a provision that would have eliminated the federal dollars needed to put President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul into place. The Senate voted along party lines to strip that out and lobbed the measure back to the House. The latest House measure, passed early Sunday by a near party-line vote of 231-192, sent back to the Senate two key changes: a one-year delay of key provisions of the health insurance law and repeal of a new tax on medical devices that partially funds it, steps that still go too far for The White House and its Democratic allies on Capitol Hill. Senate rules often make it difficult to act quickly, but the chamber can act on the House’s latest proposals by simply calling them up and killing them. Eyes were turning to the
House for its next move. One of its top leaders vowed the House would not simply give in to Democrats’ demands to pass the Senate’s “clean” funding bill. “The House will get back together in enough time, send another provision not to shut the government down, but to fund it, and it will have a few other options in there for the Senate to look at again,” said the No. 3 House Republican leader, Rep. Kevin McCarthy of California. “We are not shutting the government down.” He suggested that House Republicans would try blocking a mandate that individuals buy health insurance or face a tax penalty, saying there might be some Democratic support in the Senate for that. On the other hand, Democrats said the GOP’s bravado may fade as the deadline to avert a shutdown nears. Asked whether he could vote for a “clean” temporary funding bill, Rep. Raul Labrador, R-Idaho, said he couldn’t. But Labrador added, “I think there’s enough people in the Republican Party who are willing to do that. And I think that’s what you’re going to see.” A leading Senate GOP moderate called on her fellow Republicans to back down. “I disagree with the strategy of linking Obamacare with the continuing functioning of government — a strategy that cannot possibly work,” said Sen. Susan Collins,
R-Maine. McCarthy wouldn’t say what changes Republicans might make. He appeared to suggest that a very short-term measure might pass at the last minute, but GOP aides said that was unlikely. And rumors Saturday night that GOP leaders might include a provision to deny lawmakers and staff aides their employer health care contributions from the government had cooled by Sunday afternoon. Lawmakers and congressional aides are required to purchase health insurance on the Affordable Care Act exchanges, but the administration has taken steps to make sure they continue to receive their 72 percent employer contribution. Republicans argued that Reid should have convened the Senate on Sunday to act on the measure. “If the Senate stalls until Monday afternoon instead of working today, it would be an act of breathtaking arrogance by the Senate Democratic leadership,” said House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio. “They will be deliberately bringing the nation to the brink of a government shutdown.” In the event lawmakers blow today’s deadline, about 800,000 workers would be forced off the job without pay. Some critical services such as patrolling the borders, inspecting meat and controlling air traffic would continue. Social Security benefits would be sent, and the Medicare and Medicaid health care programs for the elderly and poor would continue to pay doctors and hospitals.
In the meantime, an area pastor recommended Sister Elsie help fill in as pulpit supply at Calvary, which had been two years without a pastor. After doing so on and off over the course of a year, the church’s call committee asked her to serve there in a pastoral role. “I have no training to be in this job, absolutely none,” she said. “I had never had a preaching course that was not part of the courses that I took at school, because this isn’t what I wanted to do. And this is where I wound up. “I told them, ‘I’m not the person you need,’ and they said, ‘You’re the one we want,’ and I’ve been here ever since.” Though Sister Elsie felt unprepared for her job, the church expanded its ministries under her leadership. Current efforts include a women’s group making more than 60 quilts sent to Lutheran World Federation and congregation members working at the local food pantry. Thanks to grants from the Lutheran Founda-
tion and United Way, the church hosts the monthly Community Table — including providing toiletries, diapers and other items that can’t be purchased with food stamps to those who attend. “I think (the congregation has) been pleased with the things that we’ve done, with the ministries that are coming out of this church,” Sister Elsie said. “I keep encouraging them not to focus inwardly, but to focus out. They need to take their ministry outside the door.” This detour to Sister Elsie’s plans will come to an end Sunday when she takes the pulpit at Calvary for the final time. Advancing years — she turns 80 on Oct. 23 — and a bout with breast cancer last year convinced her it was time to move on. She said she will miss the people of the congregation the most, especially the children. The church, which can afford only a part-time pastor, has been encouraged to pool resources with like-minded church bodies, she said. She wishes someone who has experience with

youth and families could be brought in. “I think the community needs it. There is nothing here for the kids,” she said. Her future plans include travel, and perhaps going back to work in hospice or with cancer services programs, something she found was lacking in the area through her own experience. But if God has other plans, who knows? “God has a funny way of working things out in His own time,” she said. “Sometimes I get anxious to have it be my time, and it’s not my time, it’s His time, so sometimes I just have to wait.”
Newtown survivors still living with their fears NEWTOWN, Conn. (AP) — A few nights after the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School, David Posey heard a strange noise in his house and went upstairs to check on his son. The little boy, who had just seen his teacher and a first-grade classmate gunned down, was pounding on the floor. “I know where the bad guy is,” the child told his father, indicating down below, in hell. “I’m beating him up.” Hundreds of children at the school that day survived the shooting, but the horrors have been especially difficult to overcome for some of the 6- and 7-year-olds who witnessed the bloodbath. Among the survivors are a dozen first-graders from the two classrooms where the gunman opened fire with a semi-automatic rifle. Nightmares are persistent, and any reminder of the attack — a fire alarm, a clap of thunder, even the sound of an intercom — can

stir feelings of panic. At the building in a neighboring town where the survivors recently began a new school year, signs ask people to close doors softly and not to drag objects across the floor. Their parents, grateful their children are even alive, have struggled out of public view, another set of families left reeling from the attack. For all the hugs and assurances they are safe, the parents can no longer tell their children there are no such things as monsters. “The worst part is the helplessness,” said Hugo Rojas, whose son also witnessed the shooting. “You want to take that pain away. You want to be able to take those nightmares away, but you can’t.” The gunman, Adam Lanza, who killed 20 children and six educators at the school, shot his way into the building the morning of Dec. 14. As the sound of gunfire and shells hitting the floor rang out from the hallway, the children in Victoria Soto’s class were moved to the back of their room. They were sitting on the floor when Lanza burst through the door. No one spoke, not even Lanza. The gunman pointed his gun at the face of Posey’s son, just inches away. But he didn’t shoot him. “He said he kind of
just stared down the kids,” Posey said. “My personal belief is that at that particular time he hadn’t crossed the threshold of shooting a child.” Lanza shot the teacher. And a girl. As Lanza reloaded his gun, children including Posey’s and Rojas’ sons ran past blood, shattered glass and the body of their principal, lying on the hallway floor. After firing off 154 rifle shots within five minutes, Lanza killed himself with a handgun as police arrived. He also killed his mother that morning before driving to the school. Posey and Rojas described in interviews how any reminder of the attack would traumatize their sons. To protect their privacy, they asked that the boys’ names not be published. Most of the families of the surviving witnesses have tried to shield their children’s identities and struggles and have declined to speak publicly. Two months after the shooting, Posey and his family were in the grocery store when an announcement came over the intercom. His son insisted they leave immediately. Posey was baffled, but his son later explained the intercom was on when Lanza began his rampage inside Sandy Hook.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — The Indianapolis Colts got away with a sluggish start. It certainly helped that they were playing one of the worst teams in the league. Andrew Luck threw two touchdown passes, Trent Richardson ran for a score and the Colts became the latest to beat the Jacksonville Jaguars by double digits, 37-3 Sunday. The Colts (3-1) were a little sloppy in the first half — Luck threw interceptions on his first two drives and missed several open receivers — but it was hardly enough to made a difference against the Jaguars (0-4). “It wasn’t an ideal start,” Luck said. “It was more of a terrible start to the game offensively for us. … We sort of woke up in the second half. Those two scoring drives were big for us. That is what we needed.” Indianapolis led 20-3 at halftime — Jacksonville has been outscored 75-8 in the first half this season — and made it a laugher with consecutive touchdown drives in the third quarter. Luck found Coby Fleener for a 31-yard score, a play in which even Fleener was surprised he was so wide open, and then connected with Reggie Wayne in the back of the end zone from 5 yards. That made it 34-3 and sent many of the Jaguars faithful heading to the exits. The Colts outgained the Jaguars 363-70 at that point. Luck completed 22 of 36 passes for 260 yards, with two TDs and an interception. His other pick was negated by an offside penalty. “The sky is the limit,” Colts coach Chuck Pagano said. “Listening to him and talking to him, he did get off to a slow start, but he is an even-keeled guy. … He

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The governing body head over Indiana high school sports says it will investigate a brawl that erupted in a football game involving players, coaches and fans of both teams. Indiana High School Athletic Association Commissioner Bobby Cox says a discovery meeting will occur this week with officials from Indianapolis Tech and Fort Wayne South high schools. Cox told a Fort Wayne newspaper “we will come to some determination on what to do about this unfortunate event.” Footage from WISH-TV showed a Tech player being tackled well out of bounds by a South player, drawing a late-hit penalty and triggering a melee. Coaches from each team are seen punching each other. Police told The Indianapolis Star no one was arrested or hospitalized.

Lions, Bush top Bears BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Reggie Bush was worried about how his banged-up left knee would hold up in his return. As it turned out, the Chicago Bears had plenty of concerns about the speedy, dual-threat running back they couldn’t slow down. Bush’s 37-yard touchdown run helped Detroit score 27 points in the second quarter and he accounted for 173 yards of offense to help the Lions beat Chicago 40-32 Sunday. “I was a little nervous,” Bush said of his knee after missing a game with the injury. Detroit (3-1) moved into a first-place tie with Chicago (3-1) in the NFC North. Bush had a season-high 139
yards rushing and a score on 18 carries, mostly up the middle as he took advantage of running lanes created against a line without defensive tackle Henry Melton.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Southern California fired Lane Kiffin early Sunday morning, ending the coach’s tumultuous tenure a few hours after the Trojans lost 62-41 at Arizona State. USC posted a short news release on its sports website saying athletic director Pat Haden informed Kiffin of the decision “upon the team charter’s arrival back in Los Angeles” after the ugly defeat. The Trojans (3-2, 0-2 Pac-12) matched the most points allowed in school history in their seventh loss in 11 games. Kiffin USC spokesman Tim Tessalone declined to confirm ESPN’s report that Ed Orgeron, Kiffin’s assistant head coach and the former Mississippi head coach, would take over in an interim role. Orgeron didn’t return a message from the AP. After Saturday’s loss, Kiffin said of his job security, “That’s the last thing I’m worried about.” Now USC must finish an already disappointing season without Kiffin while looking for another coach to reboot its proud program. The Trojans have a bye this week before returning Oct. 10 at the Coliseum against Arizona. Kiffin went 28-15 in parts of four seasons in his self-described dream job, but USC is 0-2 in conference play for the first time since 2001 after losses to Arizona State and Washington State. The Trojans also were unimpressive on offense for most
of their three victories, stoking discontent around a school with sky-high expectations even at the tail end of heavy NCAA sanctions. Kiffin received withering criticism for persisting in calling the Trojans’ offensive plays himself well into the school’s second straight poor offensive season. Haden will hold a news conference later Sunday. The firing comes less than five months after Haden said Kiffin had “been as good as he can be” in the face of USC’s sanctions. Before this season began, Haden said he was “100 percent” behind the embattled Kiffin. But like the precocious coach’s other two head coaching jobs, his USC tenure had a quick, messy exit. Kiffin, the Trojans’ former co-offensive coordinator, was an NFL head coach at age 31, a head coach in the Southeastern Conference at 33 and USC’s head coach at 34. If there was a consistent trend to those stops with the Oakland Raiders, Tennessee and the Trojans, it was turmoil. With Oakland, he lasted only 20 games as an overmatched head coach before his departure became a messy public feud with Al Davis, the late Raiders owner. His arrival in Tennessee was not warmly received by all Volunteers fans, given the loyalties many had to the former coach there, Phillip Fulmer — and then he infuriated them when he left after just 14 months to head back to the Trojans.

Johnson wins record 8th at Dover International DOVER, Del. (AP) — Jimmie Johnson held off a teammate, passed a pair of Hall of Famers, and dominated once more at Dover. His slice of track history was more than just another milestone to tack on his bio. His latest win at his favorite track put the Chase field on notice that his run at a sixth championship in the No. 48 is gaining steam. Johnson never let Dale Earnhardt Jr. catch
him down the stretch Sunday and won for a record eighth time at Dover International Speedway. Johnson had shared the mark of seven wins on the concrete mile with Bobby Allison and Richard Petty. “Truthfully, it was the first thought that went through my mind when I crossed the finish line,” Johnson said. “It wasn’t long after I thought about the impact of winning in the Chase.”
Johnson’s win bumped him from third to second in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship standings. Matt Kenseth, who won the first two Chase races, holds an eight-point over Johnson as the Chase heads to Kansas for the fourth race. Led by Johnson’s fifth win, the entire top 10 was made up of Chase drivers. Joey Logano, Jeff Gordon and Kyle Busch rounded out the top five. Kevin Harvick, Kenseth, Ryan
Newman, Greg Biffle and Clint Bowyer completed the top 10. “You’ve got to win when you’re at your best track,” Johnson said. “We had to win here today. I think any points on the 18 or 20 would have been a very good day. Max points, it’s an awesome day.” Not so much for Earnhardt, who had one of the fastest cars, but he missed pit road and gave up the lead early in the race.

A key play on the winning drive came when Doug Baldwin caught a 7-yard pass and Kareem Jackson was penalized for unnecessary roughness for dumping him into the ground. That got Seattle in field goal range and Hauschka’s kick came four plays later. The Seahawks rallied to tie it at 20-20 on an interception return for a touchdown by Richard Sherman in the fourth quarter. VIKINGS 34, STEELERS 27 Greg Jennings made two touchdown catches, Adrian Peterson ran for two scores and the Vikings’ defense made a big stop with time running out to preserve a win over the Steelers. Playing at Wembley Stadium, Everson Griffen stripped Ben Roethlisberger on the 6-yard line with 19 seconds left. Kevin Williams recovered to seal the victory. Jennings made a 70-yard catch-and-run for a touchdown and Peterson had a 60-yard score to help offset two scores by Pittsburgh rookie running back Le’Veon Bell and give Minnesota (1-3) some hope of turning its season around. The Steelers fell to 0-4 for the first time since 1968. Vikings quarterback Matt Cassel, starting in place of injured Christian Ponder, finished 16 of 25 for 248 yards and two touchdowns. Roethlisberger was 36 for 51 for 383 yards, with one touchdown and one interception. BRONCOS 52, EAGLES 20 The Broncos scored more points than they ever had in their 54-year history Sunday, led by Peyton Manning’s four touchdown throws. With two TD passes each to Demaryius Thomas and Wes Welker, Manning completed all but a
half-dozen of his 34 throws for 327 yards. He didn’t even step on the field in the fourth quarter. Manning’s 16 TD passes are the most in the first month of a season, besting the previous mark of 14 set by Don Meredith in 1966 and tied by Kurt Warner in 1999. Manning also joined Milt Plum in 1960 as the only quarterbacks to throw that many touchdown passes without an interception. Manning got off to a rather slow start, but drove the Broncos (4-0) on a trio of long touchdown drives in the third quarter to make this one another laugher against the Eagles (1-3). CHARGERS 31, COWBOYS 20 Philip Rivers threw for 401 yards and three touchdowns, including a 56-yarder to Antonio Gates. The Chargers (2-2) had blown late leads in their two losses this season. On Sunday, they scored the final 20 points to beat Dallas (2-2). Rivers short-armed a pass over the middle to Gates, who slid behind linebacker Sean Lee to haul it in and score with 6:54 to go. Lee had intercepted Rivers on a deflected pass and returned it 52 yards for a touchdown and a 21-10 lead late in the second quarter. Dallas didn’t score again. Tony Romo moved the Cowboys to the San Diego 7 and hit Terrance Williams, who fumbled at the 1. San Diego’s Richard Marshall recovered in the end zone with 2:42 left. TITANS 38, JETS 13 Jake Locker threw a career-high three touchdowns before being taken to the hospital with an injured right hip. Locker was hurt early in the third quarter when hit first by Muhammad Wilkerson after throwing an incomplete pass, then
popped by Quinton Coples. He grabbed at his hip as he went to the ground and was carted off the field before being loaded into an ambulance. The Titans had no immediate word on the severity of his injury. Alterraun Verner intercepted two passes and recovered a fumble, Karl Klug sacked Geno Smith and stripped him of the ball for a TD as the Titans turned Smith’s four turnovers into 28 points. Ropati Pitoitua had two of Tennessee’s five sacks as the Titans (3-1) continued their surprising start. The Jets (2-2) couldn’t overcome Smith’s rookie mistakes. REDSKINS 24, RAIDERS 14 Robert Griffin III threw a go-ahead touchdown pass late in the third quarter to help Washington overcome an early 14-point deficit for its first win of the season. David Amerson returned an interception for another score for the Redskins (1-3). Washington looked ready to extend the worst start for the franchise since 2001 when they fell behind 14-0 after the first quarter thanks to a blocked punt touchdown and a scoring pass from Matt Flynn. But the much-maligned Washington defense allowed the Raiders (1-3) no more points, taking advantage of an offense that was without starting quarterback Terrelle Pryor the entire game and starting running backs Darren McFadden and Marcel Reece for most of it. BILLS 23, RAVENS 20 Buffalo rookie linebacker Kiko Alonso’s second interception of the game with 57 seconds remaining sealed a win over Baltimore. Converted safety Aaron Williams also intercepted Joe Flacco twice, while Fred Jackson had 87 yards rushing and a touchdown for Buffalo.
Rays and Rangers force way into 163rd game with berth on line BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Tampa Bay Rays and Texas Rangers are pushing this regular season to game No. 163. On a Sunday punctuated by Miami’s Henderson Alvarez pitching a no-hitter, Tampa Bay and Texas both won and wound up even, forcing a tiebreaker for the second AL wild-card spot. The Rays will play at Texas on Monday night,
with the winner visiting Cleveland on Wednesday night in another all-or-nothing matchup. Rangers rookie Martin Perez starts against reigning AL Cy Young winner David Price. Texas gets a boost, too — All-Star slugger Nelson Cruz will be active after his 50-game penalty from Major League Baseball in the Biogenesis drug scandal. “He’s served his suspen-
sion,” Rays star Evan Longoria said. “It is what it is. Justice has been served.” Asked if he expected to play, Cruz said: “I think so.” It will be baseball’s first tiebreaker — officially, this is a regular-season game and the stats count — since Minnesota beat Detroit 6-5 in 12 innings for the 2009 AL Central title. What was supposed to be the final day of the regular season began with the
possibility of a three-way tie for a pair of AL wild-card spots. Instead, Cleveland clinched its first postseason berth since 2007, winning 5-1 at Minnesota to finish at 92-70 and one game ahead of Texas and Tampa Bay as the top wild card. Nick Swisher homered as the Indians became the first big league team to win their final 10 regular-season games

settled. Johnny Cueto starts for Cincinnati against Francisco Liriano and the Pirates at Pittsburgh on Tuesday night in the NL wild-card playoff. In the best-of-five division series, the NL wild-card winner is at St. Louis and the Los Angeles Dodgers start at Atlanta. The Dodgers will be minus center fielder Matt Kemp for the postseason because of swelling in a bone in his left ankle.
USC: Trojans limited by sanctions on team imposed by NCAA FROM PAGE B1
Former USC athletic director Mike Garrett hired Kiffin away from Tennessee to replace Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll, the architect of USC’s dynasty over the previous decade. Kiffin was an assistant under Carroll, eventually running the Trojans’ offense before Davis chose him to lead the Raiders. Just a few months after Kiffin took over, USC was hit with the heaviest sanctions leveled against a program in a quarter-century, including a two-year bowl ban and the loss of 30 scholarships over three years. Kiffin had nothing to do with the misdeeds committed under Carroll and Garrett, who was swiftly dismissed and replaced by Haden, but was forced to recruit and coach despite the Trojans’ loss of scholarship players. Kiffin still faced enormous expectations at USC — especially last season, when the Trojans
started out ranked No. 1 in the country with quarterback Matt Barkley and star receivers Robert Woods and Marqise Lee. USC wound up falling out of the top 10 by mid-September, and out of the poll entirely by November — ending the season as the first team in nearly a half-century to open No. 1 and finish unranked. USC lost five of its last six games, including the Sun Bowl, and Kiffin parted ways with his father, defensive guru Monte Kiffin. The scholarship restrictions gradually eroded the Trojans’ depth, and last season’s struggles clearly hurt the vaunted recruiting power of Kiffin and Orgeron. Between the sanctions and injuries, the Trojans played at Arizona State on Saturday night with 56 recruited scholarship players, well below its limit of 75 and the standard 85. Kiffin largely stayed out of NCAA trouble at USC.

SPORTS BRIEFS • Irish drop out of AP Top 25 BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Notre Dame has dropped out of The Associated Press college football poll after losing its second game of the season, and Arizona State moved in after the Sun Devils’ win prompted Southern California to fire coach Lane Kiffin. Alabama remained No. 1 as the top five held their spots for the third consecutive week. The Crimson Tide received 55 of 60 first-place votes, and No. 2 Oregon got the rest from the media panel, one more than last week. Clemson is third, followed by Ohio Notre Dame State and Stanford. coach Brian Georgia moved up to Kelly No. 6 after its 44-41 victory against LSU, which slipped four spots to 10th. Notre Dame (3-2), coming off a loss in the BCS championship game, began the season No. 14 but is now out of the Top 25 after losing 35-21 at home to Oklahoma, which moved up three spots to 11th. The Fighting Irish next play No. 22 Arizona State. The Sun Devils (3-1) beat USC 62-41 on Saturday night, and the Trojans fired Kiffin hours later. Maryland moved into the poll at No. 25, and Wisconsin fell out.
Ex-Browns’ star Kosar arrested for DUI CLEVELAND (AP) — Former Browns quarterback Bernie Kosar has been arrested on drunken driving charges in suburban Cleveland. Police in Solon say Kosar was arrested early Sunday. A police statement says Kosar was pulled over for speeding at around 2:45 a.m. and officers smelled a strong odor of alcohol. The police statement says Kosar took sobriety tests and was taken to jail. He was alone in the car. Kosar Kosar didn’t immediately return a phone call seeking comment. The 49-year-old Kosar has publicly talked about how head injuries sustained during his NFL career have affected his speech, making him sometimes slur his words. He has also been addicted to pain medications, gone through a divorce and had financial troubles.
Latos unavailable for Reds’ playoff game CINCINNATI (AP) — Right-hander Mat Latos has a bone chip in his elbow and will be unavailable for the Cincinnati Reds’ wild card playoff game Tuesday in Pittsburgh. The Reds are hopeful that with a couple of days of treatment, Latos’ elbow could improve enough that he’ll be available if Cincinnati wins the one-game playoff and advances to the division series. Manager Dusty Baker had been leaning toward starting Latos in the wild card game until the right-hander told him over the weekend that the elbow was bothering him. Baker says Latos has had a bone chip that has moved to a bad spot. Johnny Cueto will start in his place. Cueto has been on the disabled list three times this season with shoulder problems.
Hill to lead Marlins’ baseball operations MIAMI (AP) — Miami Marlins executive Michael Hill has been promoted to the position of president of baseball operations, replacing Larry Beinfest, who was fired Friday. Another Marlins executive, Dan Jennings, replaces Hill as general manager. The moves were announced before the Marlins’ season finale against Detroit. Hill has been with the Marlins for 11 years and Jennings for 12 years. The Marlins finished last in the NL East for the third consecutive year. Their loss total has climbed each of the past four years, and this season they took a 61-100 record into Sunday’s finale. It has been a decade since their most recent playoff appearance. Hill becomes only the third head of Marlins personnel in their 21-year history. Dave Dombrowski was the Marlins’ general manager from 1993 to 2001.
Johnson apologizes after dugout tantrum ATLANTA (AP) — Chris Johnson says he has apologized to Braves first-base coach Terry Pendleton for throwing his helmet in the dugout following Atlanta’s 5-4 loss to the Phillies on Saturday night. Johnson grounded out to shortstop Jimmy Rollins to end the game. Johnson was out on a head-first slide at first base. He remained face down for a few seconds before returning to the dugout and flipping his helmet toward the bench. Pendleton twice grabbed Johnson’s jersey with both hands, pulling the third baseman close to him. The two exchanged words. Johnson said Sunday “I’m in the wrong” and needed to apologize because the helmet hit someone. He says he and Pendleton met Sunday and says “We’re all good.”

Immigration reform will save lives If you value human life, demand a change in our border policies. Nearly 150 people have died along Arizona’s border already this year. We’ll surpass last year’s numbers. The annual border death count is as much a part of Arizona’s summer as the achingly dry This lack of general song of the and sustained anger cicadas. This about the death toll is should moral an outrage in itself. We cause outrage. But are, after all, a nation it doesn’t. barely that claims to care about It’s noticed beyond human rights. humanitarian groups. This lack of general and sustained anger about the death toll is an outrage in itself. We are, after all, a nation that claims to care about human rights. But this country’s border-enforcement policies — coupled with the continuing lure of jobs and the drive to reunite with family members — are undeniably lethal. Efforts to reform those policies in Congress are being declared dead or on life support, depending on who is assessing the odds. There are so many reasons to pass a comprehensive solution similar to what emerged in the Senate. Among those is the consequence of inaction. … Dr. Gregory Hess, chief of the Pima County Office of the Medical Examiner, says the death count this calendar year is 148 people as of Monday. That’s 23 more dead people than this time last year. Since the beginning of 2001, Hess’ office has received more than 2,200 bodies of people who tried and failed to cross Arizona’s southern deserts. His office gets bodies from all border counties except Yuma County The Border Patrol, which keeps track by fiscal year, reports 171 deaths statewide from Oct. 1, 2012, to Aug. 31. That’s down 10 from the same time last fiscal year. Immigration reform is not about politics. It is about people. It is about men, women and children who share our humanity. Their fragile hopes are like anybody else’s. So is their tender love for families left behind or waiting somewhere on this side of the line. Their deaths are bitter testimony to the failure of our current border policies.

Speak the truth with love: Sin is sin To the editor: Love the homosexual. Yes and no.
I would like to applaud the Angola First Congregational United Church of Christ for accepting gays, lesbians and transsexuals into their church. Jesus tells us that we are to love one another in Christ. It doesn’t matter if they are an alcoholic, drug addict, prostitute and yes even gay people. For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. That means you and me. However, it stops there. We are to love everyone but we are to hate sin. Yes, homosexuality is a sin. It clearly states this in Leviticus 18:21-23. In Leviticus 20:13 it is called an abomination. It is no doubt wrong in God’s eyes. Pastors, it is time that you preach the truth. The message of the cross. The fact that God loves everyone, yes even homosexuals, is that “God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever (that means anyone and everyone, no matter what your past is like) believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life.” So, yes, God loves homosexuals so much he gave his son, Jesus, to die on a cross for them, that you might believe in him to change your life forever. Once you give your life to Jesus, you are spiritually born again. 2 Corinthians 5:17 tells us, “If any man be in Christ he is a new creature (or creation) old things
are passed away, call past sin forgiven behold all things are become new.” Jesus saves people’s lives so that they may serve Almighty God. It is time the church speaks the truth with love. Sin is sin. It doesn’t matter if society accepts it or not. Pastors, it is time you preach what sin is and that there is hope in the blood of the cross. Finally, in Corinthians God tells us that, “Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the Kingdom of God? Be not deceived neither fornicators (sexual immorality) nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate (or homosexuals), nor abusers (or sodomites) of themselves with mankind.” However, there is hope in Jesus, because when you give him your life 1 Corinthians 6:11 tells us, “we are washed, we are sanctified (set apart) we are justified (declared righteous) in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the spirit or our God.” Pastors, time is short, behold today is the day of salvation, Jesus tells us. So bring Christ back and preach the gospel: The Cross of Calvary and how it can change one’s life when they accept Jesus as their savior. Rick Caban Angola
There is much to be said about putting pen to paper NORTH CONWAY, N.H. — Over the years the residents of this town tucked into a shoulder of the White Mountains have filled the pages of the local newspaper with heated comments about zoning, a bypass highway, a new school and who deserves to win the New Hampshire primary. But few issues have prompted such passionate commentary in The Conway Daily Sun as the question of whether handwriting should be taught in the local schools. One day the paper carried 43 opinions on the topic. Most of them screamed: Of course they should. That includes the reader who said it wouldn’t make any difference, adding: “They can’t spell anyway.” Maybe they can’t, but the schoolchildren of this community and of thousands of others scattered around the country aren’t being taught a skill so basic that it is almost always listed second in the ancient catechism on the function of schools. Not that the other two — reading and ‘rithmetic — are being mastered by our young scholars either, but that’s for another day and another column. We have in our time witnessed the shrinking role of the handwritten word. We no longer sign for gasoline at self-service pumps and we write emails on a keyboard.

• which is a bad thing, and my point is sealed by the fact that hardly any readers of this column will have the remotest idea what a billet-doux is and even fewer have ever received one. (Save this column for its historical value: This may be the last time that compound word ever appears in print. It does not mean the same thing as a French letter. Look them both up.) But the rationale for teaching cursive goes beyond the romantic. “Writing in cursive is more than making letters,” says Paula Heinricher, who has taught handwriting for eight years in southwestern Pennsylvania through the Handwriting Without Tears program. “It’s putting letters into words and then into sentences. It’s not copying. It’s expressing ideas.” There’s hope. This year a handful of schools in the Pittsburgh suburbs instituted a new initiative to teach pupils in kindergarten through the second grade how to print, and next year pupils from the third through the sixth grades will be introduced to
cursive. “It’s still a basic skill,” says Amanda Hartle of the North Hills School District, “and has an effect on all the other parts of students’ educations.” At least the president still signs bills with a pen. For generations it was a sign of special favor to receive a presidential pen used in the signing of legislation, and grown men and women who wrote or conceived of the bill would brag their entire lives of being presented with a presidential pen. For years I admired a display in the White House pressroom of 50 pens used by Lyndon Johnson to sign elements of the Great Society. Barack Obama signed the health care law that bears his name with a pen. His rivals on Capitol Hill are living for the day one of his successors might employ a pen to sign legislation revoking Obamacare. So maybe there’s a (ball-) point to this column after all: the identification of one element in American life worthy of bipartisan support. Let’s end the Washington stalemate by uniting to save cursive. A nation’s sense of itself — and the accessibility of its founding documents — depends on it. But if you want to start a petition, please require the signatures to be affixed by pen. It’s the least you can do for your country. DAVID M.

Family won’t pay for Dad’s cremation DEAR ABBY: I was divorced 14 years ago. Afterward, my ex, “Tom,” hid from me because he was afraid I’d have him arrested for not paying child support. Our son is a Marine, and the Red Cross notified him that his father was dying in a hospital on the East Coast. My ex’s aunt had contacted them to notify my son as next of kin. Tom had remarried, divorced again and had a girlfriend. He died a few days later. Nobody is willing to pay for his cremation. I asked his sister and aunt if we could split the bill three ways, even though I realize I’m not obligated. They refused, even after being told the remains would be deemed “unclaimed.” The county would dispose of him as an indigent drifter. Their excuse was they hadn’t heard from him in several years. I told them they were preaching to

Strengthening pelvic muscles helps incontinence You ask about incontinence. Along with a frequent urge to urinate, incontinence is common in women with pelvic organ prolapse. That’s because when the pelvic organs drop down from their normal position, they put pressure on the bladder and the tube ASK (called the DOCTOR K. urethra) through which urine flows. This Dr. Anthony can increase the urge Komaroff to urinate and reduce a woman’s control over when she urinates. Why do women get pelvic organ prolapse? Probably the most important factor is having

given birth. Women who have given birth to four babies are 10 times more likely to develop prolapse than women who have never given birth. Especially when the birth has been a vaginal delivery, rather than a C-section, there is a chance that the muscles and tissues in the floor of the pelvis will be weakened. That predisposes a woman to prolapse in later years. Kegel exercises to strengthen pelvic floor muscles may be enough to control mild incontinence. To perform Kegels, squeeze the muscles you would use to hold back urine or to stop urinating midstream. Tighten these muscles and hold them tight for a few seconds. Repeat 10 times per session. Do approximately four sessions each day. Another treatment option is a pessary, which is a rubbery, ring-shaped device that fits into the upper portion of your vagina. Pessaries can help prop

DEAR DOCTOR K: I’m a post-menopausal woman who suffers from urinary incontinence. I’ve just learned that my incontinence is due to pelvic organ prolapse. What does this mean? What is the treatment? DEAR READER: Pelvic organ prolapse is a condition in which tissue from the uterus, bladder, urethra or rectum drops down into the vagina. As many as one in three middleaged women have some degree of pelvic organ prolapse. Mild prolapse usually doesn’t cause symptoms, but more advanced prolapse can. The most common are discomfort, heaviness or pressure. A woman can feel these sensations in her vaginal area, pelvis, lower abdomen, groin or lower back. With the most advanced prolapse, a woman notices a bulge of tissue protruding from her vagina. Prolapse can also cause pain during sex or an inability to have an orgasm.

up your uterus and bladder and prevent them from dropping into the vagina. You may also consider surgery to repair the ligaments, or bands of fibrous tissue, in your pelvic area. Surgery helps to relieve symptoms and restore normal anatomy, bowel and bladder function, and the ability to have sex. For post-menopausal women, hysterectomy, the surgical removal of the uterus and sometimes the cervix, is the most common treatment. There’s some question about whether surgeons should also remove the ovaries of post-menopausal women during this procedure. If you’re considering a hysterectomy, ask your doctor about the individual risks and benefits of removing your ovaries. DR. KOMAROFF is a physician and professor at Harvard Medical School.

Animated ‘Meatballs’ is top flick
Inspectors spell out plans for Syria THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — Inspectors who will oversee Syria’s destruction of its chemical weapons said Sunday their first priority is to help the country scrap its ability to manufacture such arms by a Nov. 1 deadline — using every means possible. The chemical weapons inspectors said that may include smashing mixing equipment with sledgehammers, blowing up delivery missiles, driving tanks over empty shells or filling them with concrete, and running machines without lubricant so they seize up and become inoperable. On Friday, the U.N. Security Council ordered the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons to help Syria destroy its chemical weapons by mid-2014. On Sunday, inspectors met with media in The Hague to explain their current plan of action, which is to include an initial group of 20 leaving for Syria on Monday. The organization allowed
two inspectors to speak on condition of anonymity out of concern for their safety amid Syria’s civil war; both are veteran members of the OPCW. Spokesman Michael Luhan said the men “are going to be deeply involved in Syria.” “This isn’t just extraordinary for the OPCW. This hasn’t been done before: an international mission to go into a country which is involved in a state of conflict and amid that conflict oversee the destruction of an entire category of weapons of mass destruction which it possesses,” Luhan said. “This is definitely a historical first.” Syria acknowledged for the first time it has chemical weapons after an Aug. 21 poison gas attack killed hundreds of civilians in a Damascus suburb and President Barack Obama threatened a military strike in retaliation. A U.N. investigation found that nerve gas was used in the attack but stopped short of blaming it on Syrian President Bashar Assad’s regime.
50 students killed in Nigeria POTISKUM, Nigeria (AP) — A college provost says suspected Islamic militants gunned down students as they slept and killed as many as 50 in an early-morning attack in northeast Nigeria. Molima Idi Mato of the Yobe state College of Agriculture told The Associated Press that the gunmen also torched classrooms in the attack at about 1 a.m. Sunday in rural Gujba. The college is about 25 miles from the scene of similar school attacks around Damaturu town. He said security forces are still recovering bodies so he could not give an exact death toll. He said about 1,000 students have fled. Northeast Nigeria is in a military state of emergency against an Islamic uprising prosecuted by Boko Haram militants who have killed hundreds of civilians in their quest for an Islamic state.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2” slurped up the box office. The animated Sony sequel featuring the voices of Bill Hader and Anna Faris opened in first place and earned $35 million in its debut weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday. The original “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs” was showered with $30.3 million during its opening weekend in 2009. “It’s remarkable that it did as well as and surpassed the first film,” said Rory Bruer, head of distribution for Sony Pictures. “The filmmakers really ratcheted it up in terms of palette and tone. It’s one of those films that just draws you in. The story is fun, and there’s something for the whole family.” Last week’s top film, “Prisoners,” slid to second place. The Warner Bros. kidnapping thriller starring Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal nabbed $11.3 million in its second weekend, bringing its total domestic haul to $38.9 million. Universal’s Formula One tale “Rush,” directed by Ron Howard and starring Chris Hemsworth, drove into the third position with $10.3 million in its second outing after expanding to 2,297 theaters in wide release. The weekend’s other new releases — Fox Searchlight’s “Baggage Claim” and Relativity’s “Don Jon” — didn’t have debuts quite as sunny as “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2.”

Netanyahu warns U.S. on Iran JERUSALEM (AP) — Mortified that the world may be warming up to Iran, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is taking an unpopular message to the White House and the United Nations this week: Don’t be fooled by Tehran’s new leadership. Netanyahu contends Iran is using conciliatory gestures as a smoke screen to conceal an unabated march toward a nuclear bomb. He will deliver those strong words of caution — and fresh intelligence — in an attempt to persuade the U.S. to maintain tough economic sanctions and not allow the Islamic republic to develop a bomb or even move closer to becoming a nuclear threshold state. With the White House cautiously optimistic about its dialogue with Iran, Monday’s
meeting between Netanyahu and President Barack Obama could be tense. “I will tell the truth in the face of the sweet talk and the onslaught of smiles,” Netanyahu said before boarding his flight to the U.S. on Sunday. “Telling the truth today is vital for the security and peace of the world and, of course, it is vital for the security of the state of Israel.” Israeli leaders watched with great dismay what they derisively call the “smiley campaign” by Iran’s new president, Hassan Rouhani, last week. Rouhani delivered a conciliatory speech at the United Nations in which he repeated Iran’s official position that it has no intention of building a nuclear weapon and declared his readiness for new negotiations with the West. Capping off the visit,
Rouhani and Obama held a 15-minute phone call as the Iranian leader was traveling to the airport. By the end of the call, the first conversation between the nation’s leaders in 34 years, Obama was suggesting that a breakthrough on the nuclear issue could portend even deeper ties between the U.S. and Iran. U.S. and European diplomats hailed a “very significant shift” in Iran’s attitude and tone. For Netanyahu, such sentiments are nothing short of a nightmare. For years, he has warned that Iran is steadily marching toward development of nuclear weapons, an assessment that is widely shared by the West because of Iran’s continued enrichment of uranium and its run-ins with international nuclear inspectors.
