GOOD MORNING Pleasant Lake woman dies in crash FORT WAYNE — A Pleasant Lake woman died in a crash Monday on Interstate 69 in northern Allen County, authorities said. Judy E. Fisher, 68, was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash that occurred at about 2 p.m. near the 321 mile marker, one mile south of the DeKalb-Allen county line. She was the sole occupant of a vehicle she was driving that went off the highway and flipped down an embankement. Witnesses told police Fisher was driving erratically, our news partner, NewsChannel 15 reported. Fisher went off one side of the road, then overcorrected before leaving the highway. One southbound lane of I-69 was closed for several hours as emergency personnel worked at the scene of the crash. A news release from the Allen County Coroner’s Office said Fisher was wearing a safety belt, and alcohol does not appear to be a factor in the crash. The cause of death was blunt-force trauma caused by the crash, said Patt Kite, deputy coroner for Allen County. Fisher became the 25th traffic fatality in Fort Wayne and Allen County this year.

Government powers down WASHINGTON (AP) — The National Institutes of Health began turning away patients for experimental treatment, and rugged Yellowstone National Park was closed to visitors as the vast machinery of government clanged into partial shutdown mode. President Barack Obama warned that more families and businesses would be hurt if it lasted much longer, while Republicans insisted the fault was not theirs but Obama’s and his fellow Democrats’. “What we are doing now puts American lives at risk,” said Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., warning Tuesday of the effects on

intelligence agencies of a government closure that some lawmakers said could last for weeks. At the White House, Obama unleashed a blistering attack on Republicans, accusing them of causing government’s first partial closure in 17 years as part of a failed, non-stop “ideological crusade” to wipe out his signature health care law. Republicans countered that Democrats were to blame for refusing to negotiate on Obama’s health care overhaul, and they disclosed plans in the House for quick passage of measures aimed at reopening small slices of the

Shutdown not total here FROM STAFF REPORTS AND THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The partial federal government shutdown is having mixed impact across northeast Indiana. Most notable is the shutdown of local field offices with the U.S. Department of Agriculture. However, there are government functions that still are running unabated by the shutdown that started at midnight Tuesday, sending hundreds of thousands of

Dozens of farmers and friends gathered Tuesday to help with a community harvest for Garry Thrush.

HARVEST OF FRIENDSHIP Group will bring in beans for Garrett-area grower BY SUE CARPENTER scarpenter@kpcmedia.com

GARRETT — Dozens of farmers waited until noon for Tuesday’s fog to lift. But the sun didn’t get the message. Larry Kummer organized a community effort to help Butler Township farmer Garry Thrush, who was diagnosed with leukemia and is undergoing chemotherapy. The group met at Custer Grain Co. near Garrett for lunch at noon Tuesday, standing in the doorway to check the skies for a glimpse of sunshine. But a reluctant sun and wet conditions put their plans on hold until today, weather permitting. Kummer sent letters to area farmers asking them to offer their equipment and time, “and most importantly, their personal thoughts and prayers for fellow farmer Garry Thrush.” Kummer rounded up 11 combines, three semi trucks, wagons and dozens of workers to help bring in nearly 400 acres of soybeans Thrush farms on a cash/ rent basis.

Truck driver trapped more than two hours FORT WAYNE (AP) — Emergency workers needed about 2-1/2 hours to remove a semitrailer driver from his mangled rig after a crash on Interstate 69 in Fort Wayne. The crash that happened about 12:15 a.m. Tuesday saw the semi go through a guardrail and smash into a large sound barrier wall near the U.S. 33 interchange on the city’s northwest side. Fort Wayne police spokesman Chris Felton said the driver was taken to a hospital in critical condition. The crash left the semi’s cab stuck through the sound barrier wall, which had two large panels knocked out. WANE-TV reports emergency crews cut away parts of the cab and removed it with a wrecker.

Equipment is staged along C.R. 54 near Garrett to harvest soybeans for a Butler Township farmer. Weather conditions delayed Tuesday’s project.

The Thrush family asked the group to concentrate on four tracts of soybeans just south and east of Garrett, amounting to about 400 acres. Soybeans from these fields needed to be taken to the elevator as part of the cash/rent process. Kummer divided the volunteer workers and equipment into four quadrants to work efficiently. Others contributed to Tuesday’s effort by donating toward food for the workers and fuel for the farm equipment.

Thrush also farms 3,500-4,000 acres that his family and friends will harvest on their own, according to Kummer. Kummer is a crop insurance agent with Peoples Federal Savings Bank and attends the Auburn United Methodist Church with the Thrushes. Kummer said the amazing part of the day would be that 11 combines, three semi trucks and more than a dozen workers could SEE HARVEST, PAGE A8

CHICAGO (AP) — The online insurance marketplaces that are at the heart of President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul struggled to handle the wave of eager new consumers Tuesday, the first day of a six-month open-enrollment period that inaugurates the biggest expansion in coverage in nearly 50 years. A combination of high demand and technical glitches seemed to overwhelm the online system early in the day. Federal and state officials were working to address the problems, which led to long waits on government websites and a federal call center. As a sign of how ready Americans were to get started, Obama said more than 1 million people had visited the government’s main website before 7 a.m. EDT — exceeding expectations and contributing to the delays. In Obama’s home state, dozens of people who came to a Champaign, Ill., public health office to sign up for coverage found computer screens around the room flashing an error message: “System is unavailable.” Kimberly Shockley — logging in from Houston, Texas — and Mike Weaver, who lives in rural southern Illinois, ran into similar glitches: They could not get past the security questions while trying to set up their personal accounts through healthcare.gov. “I’m frustrated, very frustrated,” said Shockley, a self-employed CPA. She spent more than an hour trying to get the security questions to work Tuesday morning without success. When she clicked on a drop-down menu of suggested security questions, none appeared. She then tried to create her own questions, but that didn’t work either. Weaver, a self-employed SEE HEALTH, PAGE A8

‘Conservative’ city budget includes pay raises BY AARON ORGAN aorgan@kpcmedia.com

AUBURN — The Auburn Common Council on Tuesday evening voted in favor a 2014 city budget Mayor Norm Yoder called “very conservative” that still includes a slight pay raise for employees and hikes to utility rates. At slightly under $14 million, the total budget is less than 1 percent higher than the city’s 2013 version. It includes a general fund of $4.36 million, nearly half of which is dedicated to the city’s police department, as well as a $2.24 million fire protection territory fund, a $1.8 million motor vehicle highway fund and a $3 million Auburn Redevelopment

Commission fund. Figured into the budget is an across-the-board $600 raise for each full-time employee, which Yoder explained is designed to help ease the burden of a spike in insurance costs. “They’re not going to lose money because of insurance,” Yoder said. The budget also includes an additional $30,000 for street work and appropriations for utility hikes, Yoder said. “It’s a very conservative budget,” said Yoder. “It meets the needs of the city.” The city budgeted for a tax rate of $1.3897 per $100 of assessed property value, which is higher than the city expects the state will

assign it come February. The state recommends that cities underestimate their assessed valuations to be safe, because they are not calculated at the time budgets are due. No residents spoke at a public hearing on the budget Tuesday. The council will take a final vote to pass the budget at its Oct. 15 meeting. Another public will be held during that session. In line with the budget, the council passed an annual ordinance that sets the pay classifications and salary ranges for city employees.

Art exhibit at Eckhart Library honors late Auburn resident AUBURN — An art show honoring the life and work of Karen McArdle opens with a reception Friday from 6-7 p.m. at Eckhart Public Library Close Community Room. The retrospective exhibit “Balancing Act: The Artwork of Karen McArdle� runs through Oct. 30. McArdle’s art may be viewed during library hours: 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday to Thursday, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Friday, and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday. McArdle was an associate professor of studio art in the School of Creative Arts at the University of St. Francis for 12 years. Karen and John “Jack� McArdle, an anesthesiologist, died Dec. 11, 2009, in a crash near St. Joe. Karen was 63; her husband, 69. A popular retrospective exhibit earlier this year at the University of St. Francis prompted the idea for a

second exhibit in Auburn, said McArdle’s daughter, Megan Moss. The McArdles lived in the Auburn community for many years, Moss said, and some friends in Auburn had mentioned they weren’t able to attend the university exhibit. Much of the artwork at the library show was shown at St. Francis, but because the library setting is less formal, Moss said organizers were able to incorporate pieces that weren’t part of the earlier show. The show includes both two-dimensional and 3-D pieces. McArdle loved ceramics, both sculptural and functional. She also produced paintings, woodblock prints, lithographs and silk screens, as well as metalcraft, such as custom jewelry. “Balancing Act� describes the way McArdle

juggled her passion for her family with her passion for art. Early in her marriage, she taught art to support the household, while her husband finished his education. McArdle did not become a full-time artist and teacher until her children were grown. The artwork in the show often reflects these intertwining parts of her life. Many of the sculptures of hands and arms in the exhibits are casts of McArdle’s own. Occasionally, they’re of her husband’s, and sometimes, her son’s or grandson’s. Moss said her mother’s sporadic pursuits are reflected by the gaps in the dates on her artwork, going back decades. “The art was always something she had to balance with other things in her life,� Moss said. “But it was something she always did.�

Tuesday marked the first day of the third week of distribution. Chapman’s American Ale Cider will be distributed through Five Star Distributing of Columbia City. Five Star distributes to nearly 1,100 retail customers and 800,000 consumers in Adams, Allen, DeKalb, Grant, Huntington, Kosciusko, LaGrange, Noble, Steuben, Wabash, Wells and Whitley counties in northeast Indiana. The product is provided to restaurants and taverns

in 40-pint and half-barrel kegs. It also is packaged in cans, which is done on site in Angola, for sale in retail establishments. Fergusson and brew master Dan Case are in the process of adding equipment so brewing capacity can be increased. All employees are encouraged to brew their own beer on site to gain an appreciation for the brewing process, which on a commercial scale is much more complex than home brew, though the principles are similar. So far, the company represents about a $1.2 million investment, all of which has been raised locally. Chapman’s products can be purchased at all Gay’s

Hops-N-Schnapps locations in Angola, Fremont, Auburn and LaGrange. These area restaurants serve Chapman’s: Buffalo Wild Wings, Angola; Rose Brothers Pizza, Hamilton; Caruso’s Italian-American Restaurant, Angola; Club Paradise, Lake James; Glendarin Golf Club, Angola; Mad Anthony’s at Lake James and Auburn; and McCool’s Taproom, Angola. Cap N’ Cork and Belmont Beverages in Fort Wayne also carry Chapman’s, as do a number of Fort Wayne restaurants. Chapman’s is also served at the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum.

tors working for the U.S. government, and 8,415 of them will continue to work in the shutdown. The inspectors at Miller Poultry were hired and placed there by the USDA. Diehl said the National Chicken Council, a lobby group, distributed an email recently letting members know that poultry inspectors would not be subject to the shutdown. At the local federal housing projects across the four-county region, it is also business as usual. Because of the nature of their work — providing housing to a variety of residents — employees of local housing authorities were at work on Tuesday. “I really don’t see it affecting us any,” said Jeanie Frasier, director of the Fremont Housing Authority, which operates the housing complex Brockville Commons. Personnel from the housing authorities that operate across the four-county area say they received word well in advance of the federal shutdown that they would remain working because of the vital service they perform to house individuals and families. The local USDA service centers that serve the agriculture community were closed Tuesday. However, many soil and water conser-

vation districts that share offices with the federal ag agencies remained open because they are state offices. In Auburn, however, the DeKalb County Soil and Water Conservation District staff was not permitted access to the building it shares with USDA offices that were closed. The Social Security Administration office in west Auburn was offering a limited menu of services. A message on its website said services still available are applications for benefits, requests for appeals, change address and direct deposit. Services not available during the shutdown are original and replacement cards, benefit verifications and earnings record corrections. The Indiana Department of Natural Resources had to let the public know it were open for business because of confusion due to media attention given to national parks and monuments being closed due to the shutdown. “I think there’s just some confusion as to what’s federal and what’s state,” said Ginger Murphy, assistant director of stewardship for the DNR’s state parks and reservoirs. The shutdown will not interrupt the training, education and unemployment assistance services overseen by the Northeast Indiana Workforce Invest-

ment Board, its president and CEO, Kathleen Randolph ,said Tuesday. Ninety percent of the investment board’s $12.3-million annual budget is federal money distributed through the state. The investment board manages WorkOne career centers in 11 northeast Indiana counties plus adult and youth programs aimed at building the skills of workers and providing employers with job-ready talent. Randolph said the continuation of services possible in part because the investment board anticipated possible federal budget cuts this fiscal year. “Through lean management and careful budgeting,we have been able to ensure some carryover funds for fiscal 2013-2014,” she said. Elsewhere, the partial federal government shutdown is sending hundreds of workers at

north-central Indiana’s Grissom Air Reserve Base and the state’s national parks onto unpaid furlough. Grissom spokesman Lt. Col. Gary Lockhard said about 600 full-time civilian employees and Air Force reservists were furloughed Tuesday after Congress failed to break a budget impasse. About 25 air traffic controllers and 50 base security staff will remain on duty. The Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore is closed and 50 staffers are furloughed, but park deputy superintendent Garry Traynham said police and fire staff aren’t affected. The Hoosier National Forest has started shuttering its campgrounds at the 200,000-acre southern Indiana forest, and 45 staffers are now furloughed. Property spokeswoman Judi Perez said people will still be able to access the forest, because it isn’t fenced.

WASHINGTON — U.S. Rep. Marlin Stutzman, R-Ind., spoke on the House floor Tuesday after the Senate rejected the House of Representative’s latest budget bill. “Mr. Speaker, it seems that only the American people can drag Harry Reid to the negotiating table,” Stutzman said. “Back home, Hoosiers already know that Washington is fiscally broke, but today, after the Senate pushed this country into a shutdown, they also know that Congress is broken. “The House has sent Harry Reid and Senate Democrats four separate proposals to keep the government open — four. Yet, Senate Democrats have rejected each one of them without offering a single counter-proposal.” Stutzman added, “It’s clear that President Obama and Harry Reid would rather shut down the govern-

is hurting my district — including the military and the hard-working men and women who have been furloughed due to the defense sequester,” he said. But that was far from the majority view among House Republicans, where tea party-aligned lawmakers prevailed more than a week ago on a reluctant leadership to link federal funding legislation to “Obamacare.” In fact, some conservatives fretted the GOP had already given in too much. Gone is the Republican demand for a full defunding of the health care law as the price for essential federal funding. Gone, too, are the demands for a one-year delay in the law, a permanent repeal of a medical device tax and a provision making it harder for women to obtain contraceptive coverage. In place of those items, Republicans now seek a one-year-delay in the requirement for individuals to purchase insurance, and they want a provision that would dramatically raise the cost of health care for the president, vice president, members of Congress and thousands of aides. Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, has declined to say whether he would permit a vote on a stand-alone spending bill.

federal establishment. The bills covered the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Park Service and a portion of the Washington, D.C., government funded with local tax revenue. Meanwhile, the major next step implementing the health care law was launched nationwide as Americans got their first chance to sign up in the state exchanges designed to give a first-time option to people who have no health insurance. In Washington, some Republicans conceded privately they might bear the brunt of any public anger over the shutdown — and seemed resigned to an eventual surrender in their latest bruising struggle with Obama. Democrats have “all the leverage and we’ve got none,” said Sen. Saxby Chambliss of Georgia. Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., said sardonically his party was following a “Ted Cruz-lemmings strategy” — a reference to the senator who is a prime proponent of action against the health care overhaul — and Rep. Scott Rigell of Virginia said it was time to pass legislation reopening the government without any health care impediments. “The shutdown

ANGOLA — Chapman’s Brewing Co., the city’s only craft brewery, now has product on the shelves of area liquor stores and is being served in restaurants throughout northeast Indiana. Chapman’s, a newly launched craft brewery named for John Chapman — Johnny Appleseed — recently announced its first product, Chapman’s American Ale Cider. “From an idea at a Trine (University) football game to a commercial scale brewery in 18 months is something that still amazes me,” said Scott Fergusson, Chapman’s CEO and founder. “The university, the community and especially Five Star (Distributing) have been instrumental in seeing Chapman’s become a reality.” Chapman’s has developed a distinctive ale cider, which combines malted barley and cascade hops in the brewing process to produce a sophisticated, deep amber beverage that appeals to both beer and cider drinkers, a Chapman’s news release said. What makes Chapman’s unique is that it it not sweet like most hard ciders on the market, Fergusson said. “Three sips and you get it,” Fergusson said. Chapman’s is brewed like a craft beer, but unlike many hard ciders, once brewing is complete, there’s nothing added to provide a particular flavor profile. Once it’s brewed, it’s brewed. Chapman’s has gone from concept at a football

Deaths & Funerals • Dianne Avery TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. — Dianne loved the movie “It’s a Wonderful Life.” Her son Kyle said ‘‘Mom wouldn’t have to earn her wings, as the Angels would just put them on her as soon as she arrived in Heaven,’’ a perfect fit. Dianne was born on Mrs. Avery August 9, 1952, and was 61 when she was called by her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on September 27, 2013. She will be deeply missed by her husband, Larry; sons, Justin (Alicia) and Kyle, as well as her family and so many friends. Dianne is survived by her mother, Delores Treesh of Kendallville, Indiana; her brother, Doug (Kim) Treesh of Kendallville; and sisters, Denise Tedeschi (Nick) of Jensen Beach, Fla., and Debbie (Jeff) Carter of Indianapolis, Ind. She was preceded in death by her father, Don. Dianne loved the arts. She was active in her high school musical theater productions as well as a singer/dancer in Kendallville’s Changing Seasons performing troupe. She was a member of the Ball State University Singers where she met her husband, Larry Avery. They became part of the original Schussycats at Schuss Mountain in the early ’70s and later toured the United States with the traveling show band ‘‘Park Avenue.” Larry and Dianne were married on October 19, 1974. Her artistic talents as a gifted singer and dancer gradually moved, through prayer and Divine guidance, to painting. Dianne loved the holidays but Christmas was her favorite. For some 20 years Dianne made her living painting images of Santa Claus on driftwood from the Grand Traverse Bay, over 10,000 unique and original works of art. Dianne was beautiful in every way, both inside and out and her faith was endless. She delivered Meals on Wheels for decades and at the end of each delivery day would revisit anyone on her route she thought needed some extra love from her that afternoon. She was a wonderful wife, mother, sister and daughter who always put the needs of others before her own. She was gifted and accomplished in so many ways but lived by the rule of “humbleness is greatness.” Dianne spend countless hours on the phone with her Mom, Denise, Debbie, Doug and Kim, keeping her family

close while solving all the problems of the world. She had a fabulous sense of humor and only took seriously the things that really mattered in life — her faith, family and friends. She was the toughest kid on the block when something was wrong in the world and Dianne would work till she made it right. She loved watching her boys play sports. She loved the Young Rascal’s “It’s a Beautiful Morning” and Gene Pitney. She loved her dogs, Auggie Doggie and Cupcake. She loved talking about politics, reading books, especially the Bible. She loved to travel but she loved being at home with her family the most. “Mom’s a good cook” had special meaning around the Avery house. Dianne loved so many things in life but her greatest love was her boys, Justin and Kyle. The sweetest music ever made came from Justin rattlin’ the keys and Kyle rocking the drum kit. Music and merriment were always in abundance around the Avery house, a cornerstone of the rich pageantry of their lives. Music was the melody carried by Larry and her boys but the harmony came from that strong, glowing, quiet flame that was Dianne. She was grace and beauty, kindness; a gentle, peaceful soul with a legacy of love and laughter, our angel forever, Dianne. Visitation will be held on Friday October 4, 2013, from 4-8 p.m. at Reynolds-Jonkhoff Funeral Home. A memorial service will be held on Saturday, October 5, 2013, at Bay Pointe Community Church in Traverse City at 11 a.m. Donations on behalf of Dianne can be made to Bay Pointe Community Church.

Pope urges reform, wants church with modern spirit VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis says he doesn’t want a “Vatican-centric” church concerned about itself but a missionary church that reaches out to the poor, the young, the elderly and even to non-believers. That’s the vision he laid out as he opened a landmark meeting Tuesday on reforming the 2,000-yearold institution. Francis convened the inaugural meeting of his eight cardinal advisers for three days of brainstorming on revamping the antiquated Vatican bureaucracy and other reforms. The move fulfills a key mandate of the cardinals who elected him: They wanted a pope who would involve local church leaders in helping make decisions about the 1.2-billion strong church. The closed-door meeting got underway against the backdrop of one of the most tangible signs that change is already afoot: The secretive Vatican bank, under investigation for alleged money-laundering by Italian prosecutors, released its first-ever annual report Tuesday, the latest step toward financial transparency championed by Francis and his predecessor Benedict XVI. Net earnings at the bank, known as the Institute for Religious Works, rose more

than four-fold to 86.6 million euros ($116.95 million) in 2012, the report said. More than 50 million euros of that was given to the pope for his charitable works. Francis has put the Vatican bank on notice, forming a commission of inquiry to look into its activities amid accusations by Italian prosecutors that its clients may have used its lax controls to launder money. The bank’s two top managers have already resigned and a Vatican monsignor has been arrested after trying to smuggle 20 million euros into Italy from Switzerland without declaring it at customs.

Netanyahu: Israel won’t let Iran get nuclear arms UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Israel’s prime minister declared Tuesday that his country will never allow Iran to get nuclear weapons, even if it has to act alone, and dismissed Iranian President Hassan Rouhani’s “charm offensive� as a ruse to get relief from sanctions. Benjamin Netanyahu, speaking to the U.N. General Assembly, played the spoiler to Iran’s overtures to warm ties with the U.S. after decades of estrangement. Last week, the U.S. and Iranian presidents spoke on the phone, the highest level contacts between their countries in 34 years. Netanyahu said Israel’s future is threatened by a “nuclear-armed� Iran seeking its destruction and urged the international community to keep up pressure on Tehran through sanctions. He said the greater the pressure, the greater the chance for diplomacy

to succeed. He called Rouhani “a loyal servant of the regime� and asserted that he must have known about the murder of 85 people in a terror attack on the Jewish Community Center in Buenos Aires and the killing of 19 American soldiers in Saudi Arabia in 1996 because he was head Iran’s Supreme National Security Council from 1989-2003. The U.S. has also accused Iran of sponsoring acts of terrorism around the world throughout the 1990s. Iran and its proxy Hezbollah were blamed for a 1992 attack on the Israeli Embassy in Buenos Aires, Argentina, that killed 29 people, and the attack on a Jewish community center there two years later. Some analysts linked Iran’s Quds Force to helping direct the 1996 bombings of the Khobar Towers in

Saudi Arabia that killed 19 American military personnel. Netanyahu said Rouhani condemned the “violent scourge of terrorism� and added: “Yet in the last three years alone, Iran has ordered, planned or perpetrated terrorist attacks in 25 countries on five continents,� he charged, without providing any details. Netanyahu said Rouhani was elected and launched his “charm offensive� because tough sanctions from the U.N., the U.S. and many others “have taken a big bite off the Iranian economy� and the regime is under intense pressure from the Iranian people to get the sanctions lifted. Rouhani was at the U.N. last week and presented a more moderate face of the hard-line clerical regime in Tehran. U.S. and European diplomats

said they saw a marked shift in Iran’s tone for the better but insisted it must be backed up by concrete actions to assure the world Tehran is not seeking to develop a nuclear weapons. He accused Rouhani of masterminding Iran’s strategy to advance the country’s nuclear weapons program and said his goal was the same as his hard-line predecessor, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. “Ahmadinejad was a wolf in wolf’s clothing. Rouhani is a wolf in sheep’s clothing, a wolf who thinks he can pull the wool over the eyes of the international community,� Netanyahu said. He stressed that all Iranian presidents serve the same “unforgiving regime� where the supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, is a dictator and the

real power. Iran’s U.N. Ambassador Mohammad Khazaee shot back: “Unlike Israel, Iran would not and did not attack any country.â€? “It is not due to its inability, but due to its principled policy in rejecting any use of force‌,â€? he told the assembly, exercising Iran’s right of reply. “Therefore the Israeli prime minister had better not even think about attacking Iran let along planning for that.â€? Netanyahu also accused Iran of lamenting the human tragedy in Syria, but at the same time directly participating in President Bashar Assad’s murder and massacre of tens of thousands of innocent men, women and children. He said Iran’s regime is propping up the Syrian regime that just used chemical weapons against its own people.

Chemical weapons experts in Syria to start mission BEIRUT (AP) — Wading into the world spotlight, international inspectors arrived in Damascus on Tuesday to begin the monumental task of overseeing the destruction of Syria’s chemical weapons in the middle of a civil war. The inspectors from a Netherlands-based chemical weapons watchdog have around nine months to complete their mission that calls for finding, dismantling and eliminating President Bashar Assad’s estimated 1,000-ton arsenal. Their task has been endorsed by a U.N. Security Council resolution that calls for Syria’s chemical stockpile to be scrapped by mid-2014. The deadline is the tightest that the experts from the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons have ever faced.

An advance team of 19 inspectors and 14 U.N. staff members arrived in Damascus late Tuesday afternoon in a 19-vehicle convoy escorted from the Lebanese border by two Syrian Foreign Ministry representatives. The experts set up a logistics base for its immediate work, the U.N. said in a statement. Experts at The Hague, where the OPCW is based, said Sunday the inspectors’ priority is to reach the first milestone of helping Syria scrap its ability to manufacture chemical weapons by a Nov. 1 deadline, using every means possible. The destruction mission could 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. Some of the inspectors will be double-checking Syria’s initial disclosure of what weapons and chemical precursors it has and where they are located. Others will begin planning the logistics for visits to every site where chemicals or weapons are reported to be stored. Within a week, a second group of inspectors is scheduled to arrive and form teams that will fan out to individual locations. The inspectors’ mission was born out of a deadly chemical attack on opposition-held suburbs of Damascus on Aug. 21. The U.S. and its allies accuse the Syrian government of being responsible, while Damascus blames the rebels. The chemical attack prompted the Obama administration to

threaten punitive missile strikes against the Assad regime, touching off weeks of frantic diplomacy that ended with Friday’s U.N. resolution. The resolution also endorsed a roadmap for political transition in Syria adopted by key nations in June 2012, and it called for an international peace conference in Geneva to be convened “as soon as possible� to implement it. The Geneva negotiations have been repeatedly delayed for months, with neither the Syrian regime nor the opposition showing much interest in attending while the war on the ground remains deadlocked. Disagreements also have flared repeatedly over who should take part in the talks. Efforts to bring the sides to the table received another blow over the weekend when Syria’s

foreign minister said the government won’t talk with the main Western-backed opposition group, the Syrian National Coalition. Russia, a close ally of Syria, tried to smooth things over Tuesday, with Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov saying that “reasonable� Syrian rebels could participate. Speaking to reporters in Moscow, Lavrov said Western powers should help encourage rebels who don’t harbor “extremist or terrorist views� to take part. The rebel movement on the ground also is riven by fissures that have burst to the fore in recent months, as Islamic extremist rebel brigades associated with al-Qaida battle more mainstream rebel factions nominally linked to the Westernbacked Free Syrian Army.

The farmers stopped for a moment for prayer, asking God for safety and for continued healing for Thrush, before sitting down for a sack lunch donated by the Genesis Sunday school class at the United Methodist Church. Plans called for them to have equipment ready in the fields to be ready to go right after the lunch. Kevin Custer he was proud to be a

part of the effort and wished Thrush a speedy recovery. Custer Grain Co. donated the semi trucks to haul the beans to the elevator. Pioneer district sales manager Traci Bultemier stopped by as the farmers gathered at Custer Grain. Her company contributed cookies, sodas and chips for the lunch, as well. “He is a good customer, and (the Thrushes) are good friends. We wouldn’t know what to do without them,” she said. “Garry and Greg are very well respected in the farm community.”

Bozak, Raymond lift Leafs over Canadiens in opener MONTREAL (AP) — Tyler Bozak scored a short-handed goal and Mason Raymond netted the winner in his first game with the Maple Leafs as Toronto spoiled the Montreal Canadiens’ home opener with a 4-3 victory on Tuesday night. James van Riemsdyk and Dion Phaneuf also scored in a fight-filled game in which Montreal’s new enforcer George Parros was carried off on a stretcher following a bout. Toronto’s Colton Orr pulled Parros down during the fight, and the Canadiens forward’s face crashed into the ice. Lars Eller’s second goal of the game with 2:22 left brought the Canadiens within 4-3 but they couldn’t get even. Eller also set up a goal by Brendan Gallagher on the first night of the NHL regular season.

Chargers win rematch at Westview BY KEN FILLMORE kfillmore@kpcmedia.com

EMMA — The Class 1A third-ranked West Noble boys soccer team clinched a tie for the Northeast Corner Conference regular season championship with a 3-0 triumph over Westview Tuesday night. “Our game plan was executed very well by our players,” Chargers senior forward/midfielder Abel Zamarripa said. “We knew what they are. Westview has a lot of speed. They have a strong team on and off the ball.” The Chargers defeated their nearest competition in the NECC for the second time this season and could very well see the Warriors again next week in the 1A Westview Sectional. If they do meet for a third time, it would be in the sectional final on Oct. 12. But they both would have to win a semifinal match first next Wednesday. Westview ended its regular season Tuesday night and will play an improved Prairie Heights team next Wednesday at 5 p.m., then West Noble plays the winner of Monday’s first-round contest between Lakeland and The Howe School. The Chargers (13-2-2, 7-0 NECC) has work to do before

But West Noble got the ball to bounce its way off of Brian Macias’ corner kick to score first 7 minutes, 16 seconds into the match. Macias’ corner kick bounced off of a couple Warrior players toward the Westview goal. Beachy could not react quick enough and the ball glanced off of one of his hips and into the goal for an own goal. The Warriors (9-6-1, 6-1) made some runs at West Noble, but they did not develop into many quality scoring chances. Charger senior goalkeeper Jonathan Moreno only had to make two saves to get the shutout and the best one of the two came about 6:15 into the second half when he leaped to catch Jacob Berkey’s shot off a nice Warrior centering pass. “That’s been our season. We’ll get the ball around the top of the box and sail it over the net,” Westview coach Dennis Berkey said. “But I thought we battled well. We had a lot of good minutes from a lot of guys.” West Noble had a fast break and finished with about 16 1/2 minutes left to go ahead 2-0. Erik Silva slammed it into the goal on an assist from Najera. SEE SOCCER, PAGE B2

Playing through injury VanWye returns to score game-winner for DeKalb BY PHIL FRIEND pfriend@kpcmedia.com

LEO — Madison VanWye refused to let injuries to her shoulders and ribs prevent her from playing in Tuesday’s match against Leo. That resolve paid off in the second half when VanWye put a loose ball in front of the net into the goal to give DeKalb a 2-1 win over Leo. With 11 minutes left in the first half, VanWye took a shot to the back from a Leo player and stayed down on the pitch for roughly five minutes. While it appeared she wouldn’t return, VanWye came running back on nine minutes into

the second half and scored the match winner in the 62nd minute. “I popped something and landed right on my ribs and took the wind out of me,” VanWye said. “It’s really sore and I landed on my shoulder a little bit. It was hard but once I got playing and got back in, my teammates were really supportive and I forgot about it.” VanWye’s eagerness to come back into the game — and contribute — is a symbol of the team’s hard work all season, said DeKalb coach Sam Weicht. “Against Bellmont on Monday, it came down to the last seven minutes of the game. We put in a few goals and we wanted it

more than they did,” Weicht said. “Madison was an example of the whole year. She’s been banged up, she’s got a bad knee but she still wanted it.” DeKalb (13-2) matched the program record for most wins in a season Tuesday. DeKalb and Leo are the two favorites in next week’s sectional, and both of the Barons’ goals came off set pieces. On the winner, VanWye found herself surrounded by three Leo defenders in front of net and slid the ball past Leo goalkeeper Alaina Branscomb, who had just come on for Toby Carman minutes before.

Tigers pick Scherzer to start playoff opener

AP

Detroit Tigers pitcher Max Scherzer throws against the Minnesota Twins during September. Scherzer will start Friday’s game at Oakland.

DETROIT (AP) — From All-Star starter to postseason headliner — Max Scherzer is Jim Leyland’s pick again. Detroit’s 21-game winner will start the AL division series opener Friday night at Oakland, with star Justin Verlander following in Game 2. Leyland announced the Tigers’ rotation Tuesday, putting an end to any speculation about who would start Game 1. “I truly feel that I could start any one of my guys and I would feel comfortable,” Leyland said. “I think that the kind of year Scherzer’s had … I’m sure somebody will find something wrong with this choice, but I think that’s kind of hard to argue.” Scherzer (21-3) was baseball’s

lone 20-game winner this year and started for the American League in the All-Star game, which Leyland managed. But Verlander (13-12) was the 2011 AL MVP and has been one of the top pitchers in the game over the last few seasons, so Leyland could have picked either. “It’s awesome,” Scherzer said. “We’re going up against a great team, and I have a shot to go out there and pick up the win, first time. What more can you want?” The Tigers won the AL Central for a third straight year, thanks to an exceptionally deep rotation. Anibal Sanchez, the AL’s ERA leader, won’t pitch until Game 3 against the Athletics. Doug Fister starts Game 4. Leyland said relievers Bruce

Rondon and Phil Coke will likely miss the series due to elbow problems. Scherzer is a favorite to win his first Cy Young Award, and it’s not just because of his lofty win total. He finished fifth in the AL in ERA and second in strikeouts while holding opponents to a .198 average. No wonder Verlander was deferential to his teammate after Leyland’s announcement. “If it was me, I’d probably make the same decision,” Verlander said. “Max has had a magical season, and when a guy has a season like that and everything’s going right, why not ride it?” SEE TIGERS, PAGE B2

Braves reclaim once-familiar title: division champ ATLANTA (AP) — This used to be the norm. The Braves winning a division title was ho-hum news. Not anymore. For the first time in eight years, Atlanta heads into the postseason as a division champion, having coasted to the top of the NL East while the Washington Nationals stumbled and three other rivals — Philadelphia, the New York Mets and Miami — finished a combined 68 games under .500. The Braves certainly benefited from weak competition, but they deserve plenty of kudos for going 96-66 despite a rash of injuries (seven players are out for the year) and hideous seasons from two of their key offensive players. Dan Uggla and B.J. Upton, who between them are making more than $25 million this season, both hit under .200 and lost their starting jobs. Journeyman Elliot Johnson, acquired on waivers back in August, and rookie slugger Evan Gattis are expected to start when the Braves host the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 1 of the NL Division Series on Thursday

Atlanta Braves’ Justin Upton (8) celebrates with teammate Elliot Johnson (30) after Upton hit a

night. “I’m proud of a good season,” manager Fredi Gonzalez said. “It’s

three-run homer against the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday.

a hell of an accomplishment for our club. Now the fun begins. I think we’re going to be OK.”

The Braves’ blueprint was roughly the same as their unprecedented run of 14 straight division

titles, which began in 1991 and finally ended after the 2005 season. Pitching has always been the name of the game in Atlanta. No different this season. The Braves had the best ERA in baseball (3.18), relying heavily on young starters Kris Medlen, Julio Teheran and Mike Minor and perhaps the most surefire closer in the game, Craig Kimbrel, who had a NL-leading 50 saves. “Hey, they’re young, but they’re going to have to grow up sooner or later,” Gonzalez said. “I don’t think there’s a No. 1 ace, and I’m OK with it. Maybe we have five No. 3s.” Medlen (15-12, 3.11) is expected to start Game 1. He is riding a streak of five straight wins, even as the Braves stumbled down the stretch. “I feel like he can go toe to toe with anybody,” Braves third baseman Chris Johnson said. Atlanta made the division championship a priority after losing to the St. Louis Cardinals in a disputed, one-and-done wild-card game last season.

the adjustment West Noble made with leading scorer Uriel Macias out for much of the second half with ankle injuries. “We had to change our game plan and counter attacked more,” Zamarripa said. “We had to keep our feet on the ground and stay focused.” Zamarripa scored off a Warriors giveaway with 4:49 left. He took an errant pass and made nice one-on-one moves against a Westview defender to free himself for a shot he fired high and to the right of Beachy. Berkey thinks his guys are playing well against very good competition. The Warriors have lost three out of four matches, including twice to West Noble. The Chargers beat Westview 4-2 in the NECC Tournament championship match on the Warriors’ pitch on Sept. 21. The Warriors let a 1-0 lead get away in a 2-1 home loss to a quality Bethany Christian club on Friday. “I know (West Noble) is a good team. They throw a lot at ya,” Berkey said. “But you can learn a lot from losses. The guys are still hungry and are not downhearted. We moved the ball well in the first half.” The Chargers first won the junior varsity match 2-0.

In South Whitley, the Panthers (8-6-1 overall) led 4-1 at halftime. Enrique Castro scored twice for Prairie Heights. Christian Granados had a goal and two assists. Marco Faltermeier added a goal and an assist. Xavier Kain and Tyler Gingerich also scored for the Panthers. Gingerich also played 65 minutes in goal and made two saves. Joey Blakeley finished in goal and made two stops. Lakeland 17, The Howe School 0 In LaGrange, the Lakers (9-5-2) led 10-0 at half. Thirteen players scored at least one point for Lakeland.

“It was bobbling around and I saw it go through, and I realized the keeper wasn’t coming out and I knew I had a chance,” VanWye said. “I just slid and poked it in. Anything to get it in.” The Barons took the lead in the 16th minute when Andrea Oster got on the end of a Katie Hamlin free kick and pushed it past the keeper for a 1-0 lead. Leo would level the match just a minute later on an own goal, when Alyssa Willey’s attempted clearance went into her own net. Weicht received the match’s lone yellow card in the 57th minute for arguing a call with the official. DeKalb had a chance to make it 3-1 with two minutes left in the match after Leo’s Danae Miller was called for a handball in the box, but Hamlin’s penalty kick was saved by Branscomb. Baron keeper Allie Gaff made eight saves as Leo finished with 19 shots. DeKalb tallied 13 shots and Branscomb/Carman combined for five saves. The Leo win comes on the heels of the Barons clinching a share of the Northeast Hoosier Conference title on Monday, earning a 3-1 victory over

Bellmont. VanWye, a senior, scored a goal in that win to help give DeKalb its first league title in 11 years. “It hasn’t really hit me yet,” VanWye said. “We haven’t been able to compete with those teams so it was a great feeling to be champions.” It’s also Weicht’s first conference title as head coach. He’s been at the helm of the program for six seasons now. “As a coach, you want to say it’s a great thing to put in my bag but I can’t take credit for that,” Weicht said. “We have girls across the board that can score and that have assists. They’ll dish the ball out for a goal rather than take one of their own (shots). “It wasn’t a thing where, 11 years ago, we stole games. This year, we’ve taken games.” The Barons will look to win their first-ever sectional title this year after making the final each of the past two years — and may have to play Leo again to do so. “We have a special team this year and if we can stay healthy throughout the rest of the week and the first game of sectional, we should be good to go,” Weicht said.

TIGERS: Scherzer will face Colon in Friday’s matchup with A’s FROM PAGE B1

Verlander was the Cy Young winner in 2011 and finished a close second last year to David Price. This season has been more of a struggle. His 3.46 ERA was his highest since 2008. Verlander pitched six scoreless innings in each of his final two starts, and if he can provide more of the same in the playoffs, the Tigers should be dangerous. “I put in a ton of work, and I really feel like the last couple starts were a whole lot better,” Verlander said. “I’m pretty doggone close to right where I need to be.” Scherzer will face Bartolo Colon (18-6) in the opener. Colon was second to Sanchez in the ERA race. Leyland said the final decision on a Game 1 starter came in the last few days, and he decided Tuesday was a good time to announce it. “I’m doing this so I didn’t get bugged by you guys for another three or four days,” Leyland said. “It gives you guys some time to play with it, it gives your readers time to second-guess it, enjoy it, agree with it, whatever they

want to do. So we figured we owed that to you.” Rick Porcello, Detroit’s No. 5 starter, will move to the bullpen. The Tigers can use some help in relief if Rondon and Coke can’t pitch. Rondon looked good recently, but it sounds as if his arm problems will keep him sidelined for the time being. For all their impressive pitching, the Tigers are still vulnerable if their lineup slumps. Last year in the World Series, Detroit was shut down by San Francisco in a four-game sweep. After clinching the division last week, Detroit lost three straight in Miami against the lowly Marlins, scoring only three runs in three games. Henderson Alvarez threw a no-hitter against the Tigers in the finale. “I’m not as concerned as the fans and everything, because I know this is the way it is — we either hit or we don’t,” Leyland said. “That simple. I’m not going to sit around and worry about it.”

SPORTS BRIEFS • Royals manager Yost agrees to 2-year extension KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The vast rebuilding job that Ned Yost inherited as the manager of the Kansas City Royals was strikingly similar to the one he took on when he was hired by the Milwaukee Brewers. The difference this time is that Yost will have a chance to stick around. The Royals and Yost agreed to a two-year contract extension Tuesday after wrapping up an 86-76 season, the best finish for the franchise in 24 years. Yost’s contract was set to expire after the season, though both sides had expressed a desire for the manager to remain on board. The next big step is to make the playoffs, something that Yost had the Brewers on the verge of when he was fired in 2008. He eventually landed in Kansas City and became the interim manager in 2010, and then lost more than 90 games each of his first two full seasons in charge. Yost, who is 741-831 in 10 seasons as a manager, held off on discussing a new contract until after the season. It came together quickly on Monday. Moore did say that he expects the Royals’ payroll, which was a franchise-record $81,241,725 on opening day, to remain the same or perhaps even increase next season.

Maple Leafs sign Kessel for 8 years, $64 million TORONTO (AP) — The Maple Leafs and star forward Phil Kessel have agreed to terms on a $64-million, eight-year contract extension. The deal was signed just hours before the Maple Leafs’ opener in Montreal on Tuesday night. Kessel had one season left on his previous deal at $5.4 million. The two-time all-star, who will turn 26 on Wednesday, was drafted by the Bruins with the fifth overall pick in the 2006 NHL Entry Draft. His new deal includes a limited no-trade clause. He was dealt to Toronto four years ago for two first-round picks and a secondround selection. The Bruins used the picks to draft Tyler Seguin, Dougie Hamilton and Jared Knight. Kessel had 20 goals and 32 assists in 48 games last season. He has 379 points in 504 regular-season games over seven seasons with Toronto and Boston. The native of Madison, Wis., has 21 points in 22 career playoff games, and played for the United States at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics.

Whitner fined $21,000 for hit against Rams SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Donte Whitner may start his own clothing line if he continues to get flagged for unnecessary roughness. The San Francisco strong safety learned Tuesday he was being fined $21,000 for his hit on St. Louis Rams’ wide receiver Chris Givens in the end zone with just under six minutes to play in Thursday’s 35-11 49ers victory. Whitner said he would appeal the penalty and has made up T-shirts with (hashtag)LegalHitner on the front that he will sell to drum up support. He’s even suggested he might remove the ‘W’ from his last name. Whitner appeared to turn his shoulder into Givens in a successful attempt to knock the ball loose. He was called for unnecessary roughness when he appeared to make contact with Givens’ helmet. “I’m not happy with it,” Whitner said. “The intent is not there. Maybe we should all put flags on and pull them off. Maybe the fans will like that.” Whitner faced a similar situation against the Indianapolis Colts. He was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct after hitting Colts running back Ahmad Bradshaw with what seemed to be the crown of his helmet.

Canadiens’ Parros leaves on stretcher after fight MONTREAL (AP) — Canadiens enforcer George Parros has left the ice on a stretcher after being pulled down face first during a fight in his first game with Montreal. Parros was in his second fight of Tuesday night’s season-opening game when he was injured in a bout with Toronto Maple Leafs heavyweight Colton Orr. Orr had fallen to the ice and reached up and pulled down Parros. Parros’ face hit the ice heavily, and he was bleeding and looked woozy as a team of trainers from both teams spent several minutes treating him. Fans chanted his name during the on-ice delay. There was no immediate word on Parros’ condition.

Indy officials announce details of new May race INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indianapolis Motor Speedway is giving open-wheel racing a boost this May. On Tuesday, track officials said they would add days of on-track activity to this year’s schedule before running the inaugural Grand Prix of Indianapolis on May 10 and holding the biggest event of the IndyCar season, the Indianapolis 500, as scheduled May 25. It’s Indy’s answer to speed week. The series has been dealing with dwindling attendance, sagging television ratings and now the loss of its title sponsor.

Where does the time go? Yes, I am a numbers guy. Percentages. Ratios. Odds. I love them. To whit, here is a compilation of how I spent the last 365 days of the year (times are approximate). • Time spent sleeping at night — 90 days. Seems like a lot, but seven hours isn’t that much when you consider the next one … • Time spent sleeping well at night — 23 days. • Time spent cooking supper for the 13-year-old boy and 10-year-old girl — 4.4 days (thanks to Grandma, a lighter load at an average of 17 minutes per day) • Time spent listening to said children complain that all my cooking comes from a box — 4.5 days. • Time spent cleaning up the kitchen after aforementioned culinary exercises — 15.2 days. MATT • Time spent cleaning house — 3.8 days (note GETTS to self, when Grandma points this out, tell her that decimal place was in the wrong spot and hope she doesn’t do some adding). • Time spent watching kids do homework — 2.5 days (20 minutes per school day). • Time spent helping kids do work — 2.6 days. • Time spent doing kids’ homework when I just can’t take it anymore — 7 days. • Time spent in car driving to work, picking up kids, dropping kids off, picking kids up, taking them places — 15.2 days. • Time spent in car just sitting there wondering where I am supposed to be next — 0.85 days. • Time spent doing laundry — 3.8 days (averages 15 minutes a day). • Time spent looking for the boy’s clothes that struggle to find their way into hamper — 1.1 days. • Time spent at work or working from home — 100 days. • Time spent in doctors’ offices waiting rooms with kids — 1.6 days (45 minutes per week). • Time spent waiting in line at pharmacy after doctor visits — 1.6 days. • Time spent exercising — 8.6 days, or roughly four hours per week. • Time spent eating — 15.2 days. • Time spent in church or in contemplative prayer — 5.0 days. • Time spent in desperate prayer — 6.1 days. • Time spent squeezing lenses back into my sunglasses and the boy’s prescription glasses — 0.25 days. If you think spending six hours a year on this task is an exaggeration, you never have had a 13-year-old boy. • Time spent squeezing lenses back into the girl’s prescription glasses 0.000000 days. (One of the vast differences between boys and girls is time spent on spectacle maintenance/replacement/looking for the darn things.) • Time spent listening to the boy tell me about his day — 1.2 days (5 minutes per day). • Time spent listening to the girl tell me about her day — 9.6 days. • Time spent playing Frisbee, video games, card games, Barbie and LEGOs — 15.2 days. • Time spent watching sports — 4.0 days. • Time spent showering — 7.6 days (includes making sure the boy turns the water on and uses soap and the girl doesn’t drown from talking incessantly while under shower nozzle). • Time spent worrying about government shutdown — 0.0 days. • Time spent worry about kids — 8 days. • Time spent worrying that I worry too much — 1.0 days. • Time spent on leisure/volunteer activities — 7.1 days. There you have it, that adds up to… uh, 366 days. No wonder it takes me so long to do the kids’ homework.

Those of us in the first camp are routinely accused of being harsh, cruel and heartless. Yet, incentive traps are an inevitable part of government programs when the benefits are permanent and generous.

• This sublimely abbreviated summation is essentially what The American People — that sacred monolith about which Washington knows so little — have been informed concerning the recent madness in the nation’s capital. But taking a closer look, one sees that all of the above lacks context and ignores the nuances of how policy and politics play out. The shutdown, which I predict will be resolved relatively quickly to permit bragging rights for all, was really a prelude to the fight over the debt ceiling, which has to be raised by Oct. 17 or the U.S. government reneges on its debts. (Simple solution to the shutdown: The Senate repeals the medical device tax in Obamacare; the House funds lost revenue in a separate bill, not the continuing resolution; the president signs a clean resolution, federal employees return to work, and everybody says “yay.”) Meanwhile, leading up to the debt-ceiling deadline, we’ll witness much rending of garments and gnashing of teeth — and that’s just the media. The American People will hear that Republicans are willing to savage the nation’s

full faith and credit for political points and that the president, being presidential, will refuse to be held hostage and, therefore, won’t negotiate. On the other hand, there’s context and leverage. Suppose you are John Boehner. Faced with a Democratic Senate and president, he has only two points of leverage — appropriations and raising the debt limit — which were set in place by greater minds than all these present. What Republicans hope to accomplish by tying demands to the debt ceiling is a grand bargain to include a package of entitlement and tax reform. Sound familiar? The president can refuse to negotiate, but at 3 a.m. when the phone rings and it’s Angela Merkel inquiring just what the hell is going on, it won’t be John Boehner’s phone ringing. It will be President Obama’s. That’s leverage. During the last debt ceiling battle, Boehner managed to secure more than $2 trillion in cuts and no taxes. That’s context.

Trump interested in Plum Island MINEOLA, N.Y. (AP) — Donald Trump is thinking about adding an island to his already flashy portfolio. The real estate mogul and TV reality star said Tuesday he’s considering purchasing New York’s Plum Island, but has yet to make a final decision. “I’d be interested in looking at it,” Trump told The Associated Press in a telephone interview. “It is a very complicated subject and nobody knows what is going to happen.” The 843 acres off the coast of Long Island house a laboratory that studies infectious animal diseases that could imperil the nation’s livestock industry. Congress voted in 2009 to close the aging lab, which opened in 1954, and build a new one in Manhattan, Kan. The General Services Administration is overseeing the proposed sale of the island to defray the costs of constructing the new facility; there has been no estimate of what the island could fetch at auction. Trump said he has yet to consider exactly what he might do with the property. “We would do something, but it would not be on a big scale,” Trump said. “We would look at it and come up with something appropriate.”

Sour food and shattered glass: cleaning Kenya’s mall NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — The sour odor of rotting food overwhelms the senses. Shattered glass crunches underfoot. And evidence of looting is ever-present, including in Westgate Mall’s chandelier-filled casino. Shop owners on Tuesday boarded up stores and removed merchandise even as Kenyan, U.S. and European investigators moved through the mall’s rubble in search of answers to the four-day terrorist attack. A soldier inside said that two bodies had been found Tuesday, one likely a soldier. The other was burned so badly it was too difficult to say, he said. Those cleaning up their shops wondered: Can the mall reopen? If so, when? A mall official told The Associated Press that such questions won’t be answered until the Kenyan government gives back control of the mall to its owners, a legal hold-up that may take months to resolve as the forensic investigation to find bodies and reconstruct events continues. An Associated Press reporter on Tuesday spent about two hours inside Westgate, the site of a terrorist siege that killed at least 67 people. Kenya’s government says five attackers are dead — perhaps under the mall’s rubble — but officials acknowledge that some of the

NYC Opera to file for bankruptcy NEW YORK (AP) — New York City Opera said Tuesday it is shutting down and filing for bankruptcy protection after seven decades as a fixture on the metropolitan cultural scene. The company announced Sept. 12 that it needed to raise $7 million by the end of September. Spokeswoman Risa Heller said about $2 million had been raised, plus another $301,019 was pledged from 2,108 donors in an online campaign. “New York City Opera did not achieve the goal of its emergency appeal,” Heller said. “Today, the board and management will begin the necessary financial and operational steps to wind down the company, including initiating the Chapter 11 process.” Junior to and often feistier than the Metropolitan Opera, City Opera was a spawning ground for top opera talent that included Beverly Sills, Placido Domingo, Renee Fleming and Samuel Ramey.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — An employee of the company that owned the doomed Deepwater Horizon drilling rig testified Tuesday that he was surprised when BP scrapped his team’s design to stop the gusher in the Gulf of Mexico. Robert Turlak, a Transocean Ltd. manager, was a witness for his employer at a federal trial that is focusing on BP’s response to the April 2010 well blowout. BP’s trial adversaries argue the company could have sealed the blown-out well much sooner if it had employed a capping strategy that Turlak and others had devised. It was ready for installation in early June. BP ultimately used a capping stack to stop the spill July 15 after several other methods failed. Turlak said he never heard why BP scrapped his team’s design. “We were so close. We had come a long way,” said Turlak, Transocean’s manager of subsea engineering and well control systems. During the first few weeks after the spill, engineers focused on two methods for stopping the flow of oil: Capping the well was one option. The other, called “top kill,” involved pumping drilling mud and other material into the Deepwater Horizon rig’s blowout preventer. Turlak’s team was working on a strategy that was called “BOP-on-BOP” because it lowered a second blowout preventer on top of the rig’s failed one. Turlak called it the “obvious solution,” but BP said it wasn’t a viable option

because it could have made the situation worse and hampered other strategies if it failed. BP said the capping stack that later sealed the well was specifically designed to land on the well system above the blowout preventer. BP employed the “top kill” method in May 2010, but it didn’t stop the flow of oil. The company says its adversaries have ignored evidence that the “BOP-on-BOP” option wasn’t approved or ready for safe installation before “top kill.” The trial’s second phase opened Monday with claims that BP ignored decades of warnings about the risks of a deep-water blowout and withheld crucial information about the size of the spill. Plaintiffs’ lawyers claim BP knew the “top kill” strategy was doomed based on higher flow rate estimates that the company didn’t share with federal officials at the time. U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier, who is presiding over the trial without a jury, also heard videotaped testimony Tuesday by a manager employed by cement contractor Halliburton. Richard Vargo, who assisted on the top kill attempts, said he didn’t learn until later that BP didn’t believe the procedure would work given the high flow rates. “I’m pretty angry,” Vargo said, choking back tears. During opening statements, BP attorney Mike Brock said the company’s efforts to stop the flow of oil were guided by an overriding principle: “Don’t make it worse.”

When we are together privately, everything is perfect. The problem is, Phil hangs out with his old college buddies every few weeks or months, and it often involves his ex-girlfriends. They don’t hang out alone. There is always at least one other person there. The situations usually include drinking, which worries me. In my opinion, Phil should not be seeing his exes, even though his college friends are still buddies with them. Phil doesn’t understand why I think this is so wrong.

Schulz, was syndicated. • In 1970, one of two chartered twin-engine planes flying the Wichita State University football team to Utah crashed, killing 31 of the 40 people on board. • In 2006, a man took a group of girls hostage in an Amish schoolhouse in Nickel Mines, Pa., killing five of them and wounding five before committing suicide.

THE BORN LOSER BY ART & CHIP SANSOM

Tips for looking young without surgery upper jaw, lower jaw and cheekbones shrink. Less bone contributes to looser skin. And, of course, there are the wrinkles. Many nonsurgical treatments can give your face a more youthful appearance. I was really dubious about this, but I’ve learned I ASK was wrong. DOCTOR K. And I didn’t learn this just from my Dr. Anthony dermatologist Komaroff colleagues -- I learned it from my patients: • Sun protection. Protecting your face from the sun is the single best way to keep it looking youthful. Use broad-spectrum sunscreen

•

that protects against both UVA and UVB light, and wear a wide-brimmed hat when you’re outside. My dermatologist colleagues say to do this “whenever you’re outside, even for a minute.” What I recommend, and what I do myself, is to use sunscreen and a hat whenever I know I’ll be outside for more than 10 minutes a day. (I’ll bet I get mail from dermatologists telling me that’s too lenient.) • Creams and lotions. Moisturizers may temporarily make wrinkles less noticeable. Exfoliant creams can remove dead skin cells that don’t slough off as readily as they used to. Prescription creams containing retinoids reduce wrinkles and liver spots caused by sun exposure. • Botulinum toxin (“botox”) injections partially immobilize facial muscles to smooth out expression

DEAR DOCTOR K: I’m 65 and my face is starting to look old. Can you recommend nonsurgical treatments to take a few years off my face? DEAR READER: Our faces age along with the rest of us. The difference is that our face is the part of ourselves that we look at most often — and that others look at most often. Some people accept these changes; others fight them every step of the way. But there’s also a middle road for people who prefer to make relatively small tweaks that can make a noticeable difference. When we’re young, fat plumps up our forehead, temples, cheeks, and areas around our eyes and mouth. With age, that fat loses volume. Features that were round may sink. Skin that was smooth and tight loosens and sags. Facial bones also change. Our

lines on the forehead and between the brows. They are safe, but you should find a doctor who has considerable experience doing them. • Dermal fillers treat lines created by lost collagen and fat.

They’re also used for wholesale facial resurfacing. The uppermost skin layers are stripped away, and with them, wrinkles from sun damage and acne scars. Smoother layers of tissue replace the old, damaged layers. DR. KOMAROFF is a physician and professor at Harvard Medical School. His website is AskDoctorK.com.

Nearly 1,000 die during Iraq’s bloody September September’s toll pushed the total number of people killed since April to more than 5,000. Among the dead last month were 887 civilians while the rest were security forces. The figure was slightly lower than the death toll in July, which was the highest since 2008 at 1,057, but underscored the rising violence after a long period of relative calm. The report said the worst-affected part was the capital, Baghdad, where 418 people were killed in September. It said 2,133 people were wounded in last month’s violence. The U.N. representative in Baghdad said the report raised a stark alarm and called on Iraq’s political rivals to come together. “As terrorists continue to target Iraqis indiscriminately, I call upon all political leaders to strengthen their efforts to promote national dialogue and reconciliation,” Nickolay Mladenov was quoted as saying in the report. “Political, religious and civil leaders as well as the security services must work together to end the bloodshed and ensure that all Iraqi citizens feel equally protected.” Hours earlier, al-Qaida’s local franchise in Iraq

BAGHDAD (AP) — An Iraqi sheik carried his infant grandson’s tightly wrapped body, staring ahead with a blank gaze as men behind him bore the coffin of the baby’s mother during their funeral Tuesday, a day after they were killed in a wave of bombings in Baghdad. The heartbreaking image, captured in an Associated Press photo, illustrates the human tragedy behind the numbers as the death toll mounts to levels not seen in half a decade amid a new surge in sectarian bloodshed nearly two years after the U.S. withdrew from the country. The U.N. mission in Iraq said Tuesday that 979 people died in September, most civilians caught up in the violence by insurgents led by al-Qaida in Iraq who appear determined to rekindle the tensions between Sunnis and Shiites that nearly pushed the country to the brink of civil war in 2006-2007. Iraq is going through its worst surge in violence since 2008, with near-daily attacks and relentless bombings blamed on hard-line Sunni insurgents. The surge followed a deadly crackdown by the Shiite-led government on a Sunni protest camp in northern Iraq in April.

claimed responsibility for Monday’s string of car bombings that mostly targeted Shiite neighborhoods in Baghdad, killing 55 people. Sheik Mahmoud Abdel Rahman’s grandson, Latif, and the baby’s mother Hasnah Abdel Rasul, were among those killed in the wave of violence. The baby was wrapped in a shroud with verses from Islam’s holy book the Quran as Abdel Rahman carried it in a procession as his two loved ones were buried in the Shiite holy city of Najaf. The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant said the attacks were in retaliation to the “arrests, torturing and targeting of Sunnis” by the Shiite-led government and vowed more attacks. “To Sunnis we say: The Islamic State, God willing, knows where, when and how to attack,” the statement said. “The Mujahideen will not stay motionless.” The al-Qaida statement’s authenticity could not be independently confirmed but it was posted on a website commonly used by militants and its style was consistent with earlier statements by the terror network. Attacks continued on Tuesday, killing at least six people. In the northern city of Tikrit, 130 kilometers
