Confidence carries queen Miss DeKalb County title a ‘dream come true’ for Hunt BY OCTAVIA LEHMAN olehman@kpcmedia.com
AUBURN — Being the oldest contestant in the Miss DeKalb County pageant made Samantha Hunt nervous, but her experience helped claim the title of Miss DeKalb County 2013 Monday night. Hunt, a sophomore at Ball State University, competed in the pageant two years ago as a DeKalb High School senior. She finished as second-runner up. “It was a learning experience,” Hunt said of her first pageant in 2011.
“Going into this competition I felt so confident,” Hunt said. “I knew everything I wanted to work on, and I felt confident in myself.” Hunt said she wanted to convince judges that she was “fully committed 100 percent” and that being at Ball State wouldn’t conflict with fair activities. “I’m very organized. My planner is my best friend,” Hunt said. While classes are ongoing at Ball State, she made preparations in advance with her professors. “I plan to be at the fair all week,” she said. “I worked so hard
for this. It’s a childhood dream come true.” One of her favorite parts of the DeKalb County Free Fall Fair is walking down its junk food alley. “You see 10 different people you know,” Hunt said. “You feel love that the whole county is coming together.” A double major in apparel design and fashion merchandising, Hunt made her own professional wear attire for the pageant — a two-piece suit. She is a member of the fashion design society at Ball State and in the spring participates SEE QUEEN, PAGE A6

DeKalb County Free Fall Fair
Doughnuts doing good for charity BY AARON ORGAN aorgan@kpcmedia.com
AUBURN — At a DeKalb County Free Fall Fair able to serve up just about anything a hungry belly desires, one tasty treat stands out among the rest: fresh, homemade, sugared doughnuts such as those from the Spencerville Order of the Eastern Star trailer. Thousands of the delectable doughnuts will be sold from the Eastern Star’s classic, white trailer at the corner of Seventh and Main streets this week — and only this week. The sale is the only project held by the organization to support its community giving efforts. The popularity of the treats allows the organization to fund a lot of charity. From 2012 through today, the Spencerville Order of the Eastern Star has donated $6,962 to a bevy of children, families, churches and charities in the area, funds built entirely from doughnut sales. Arden Dwyer, the Eastern Star’s worthy matron, said the organization will donate $10,000 by the end of the year. The organization donated $60 to a family whose home was destroyed in a fire. It pushed hundreds of dollars into local food banks and spent more than $1,100 for school clothes for children. The Eastern Star put more than $1,800 into the purchase of backpacks and stocked them with school supplies for students. It bought $340 worth of winter coats for children and donated $100 to a charity that flies sick children to the Shriners Hospital for Children for treatment. That’s doughnuts doing good. “We do something other than make doughnuts,” said Dwyer. “We are a charitable organization, and sometimes people don’t realize we so a lot of good things, especially for children.” The doughnut trailer is run by volunteers and is staffed by 8-9 makeshift doughnut makers at any given time. Inside the trailer, it’s both chaotic and organized, with each worker assigned to

a specific station, from mixing dough to sugaring the doughnuts to bagging them and sending them out the window. Handshakes are sticky and sweet, there’s not much room to move about, and there’s always a patron waiting patiently outside the window for a sack of doughnuts. Four machines sit side by side at the back of the trailer. They accept the mixture and plop rings of dough into a waiting fryer automatically. Once inside the fryer, the machine flips the doughnuts so they’re cooked evenly on both sides before they are shoved out and into a pan, where a worker picks them up for sugaring. From there, the trays of doughnuts are sent over to the front of the trailer, where another worker bags them and they are sold. With 1,320 doughnuts made
per 100 pounds of mix, it has to be all business. Dwyer said she purchased 8,400 pounds of mix, 250 pounds of shortening and 1,200 pounds of sugar ahead of the fair, and figures it a likelihood she’ll have to go out for more ingredients before the week is over. Fair-goers come en masse from miles around for the treats, which have become one of the signature items of the county fair. “A lot of people think we are the fair,” said Arden Dwyer. “One year we didn’t come, and I had people calling me up asking where we were. After that, the fair board told us they would save our corner for us.” So there they’ll be, on the corner of Seventh and Main streets, during fair week, selling warm and fresh homemade doughnuts for a good cause.

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — Kenya’s president proclaimed victory Tuesday over the terrorists who stormed a Nairobi mall, saying security forces had “ashamed and defeated our attackers” following a bloody four-day siege in which dozens of civilians were killed. President Uhuru Kenyatta said the dead included 61 civilians whose bodies have been recovered so far and six security forces, while some 175 were injured, including 62 who remain hospitalized. Three floors of the mall collapsed and several bodies were trapped in the rubble, said Kenyatta. His office later said a terrorist’s body was among those in the debris. Five other extremists were killed by gunfire, Kenyatta said in the televised address to the nation. He said 11 other suspects had been arrested; authorities had previously announced the arrest of seven at the airport and three elsewhere. “These cowards will need justice as well their accomplices and patrons, wherever they are,” Kenyatta said. Kenyatta declared three days of national mourning starting Wednesday. At the Westgate mall, there were no immediate signs of the Kenyan Security forces closing their operation. Two Kenyan soldiers who had recently been inside the mall told The Associated Press shortly before the president spoke that the operation was effectively finished, but they said security forces were still combing the facility and had not definitively cleared all the rooms inside. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were under orders not to speak to the media. Kenyan forces had for two days said they were in the “final phase” of the operation, only to be battled back by the militants inside the building. Explosions rang from the upscale Westgate mall in Nairobi throughout Tuesday, and the chatter of gunfire from inside the building could also be heard. Fresh smoke rose from the building in the afternoon.

Police Blotter • Officers arrest five AUBURN — Local police officers arrested five people from Thursday through Sunday, according to DeKalb County Jail records. Amanda Jacobs, 36, of the 100 block of Ridgedale Drive, Garrett, was arrested Thursday at 4:13 p.m. by the Garrett Police Department on a warrant charging her with theft, a Class D felony. Rodney E. Baker, 35, of the 4900 block of C.R. 59, Auburn, was arrested Friday at 12:38 p.m. by the Auburn Police Department on charges of driving while suspended with a prior conviction, a Class A misdemeanor; possession of marijuana with a prior conviction, a Class D felony; and possession of marijuana, a Class A misdemeanor. Tasha M. Lewis, 33, of the 1100 block of Lewis Street, Fort Wayne, was arrested Friday at 2:26 p.m. by the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Department for alleged failure to appear in court on a charge of theft, a
Class D felony. Ryan N. Hall, 19, of the 700 block of West Edge Drive, Auburn, was arrested Friday at 9:45 p.m. by the Auburn Police Department on charges of operating a vehicle while intoxicated as the Class A and Class C misdemeanor levels; minor consuming, a Class C misdemeanor; and failure to stop after a property-damage accident, a Class B misdemeanor. Chris Arnett Jr., 37, of the 900 block of South Main Street, Avilla, was arrested Sunday at 2:06 a.m. by the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Department for alleged failure to appear in court.
Entry reported AUBURN — Auburn Police officers are investigating a residential-entry incident reported Monday at 6 p.m. in the 400 block of Peterson Street. A resident told police that someone cut two screens, entered the residence and walked out the front door. Nothing was believed to be missing from the residence.
ROME CITY — A tip from a citizen and patience from a local police officer led to the apprehension Monday of a man suspected in the abduction and battery of a Peru woman. Noble County Chief Deputy Chad Willett and Rome City Town Marshal Steve Heltzel took Steven Gail Gose, 40, into custody Monday at 1:10 p.m. in Rome City, following a traffic stop near the intersection of C.R. 150E and C.R. 1000N. Friday, LaGrange County Superior Court Judge George Brown issued a warrant for Gose on charges of criminal confinement, a Class C Felony, and two Class D felony offenses, domestic battery and strangulation. He also was wanted for a parole violation.
Gose is suspected of abducting Jennifer Lee Bitzel, of Peru and formerly of Rome City, late Wednesday night. Rome City Police found her safe in Rome City early Friday morning, police said. She had bruising to her head, face and throat, Gose police added. Police previously said the incident began Wednesday at a residence in the 3000 block of LaGrange C.R. 600E, where Bitzel was battered severely. She then was removed forcefully from the residence by a man who allegedly made death threats to Bitzel before forcing her into a car.
Bitzel’s two young children were left behind at the residence. Monday’s arrest came after someone called the Noble County Sheriff’s Department with a tip that Gose was riding in a vehicle on Shady Lane in Rome City. The caller gave a description of the vehicle. Heltzel drove to the area and spotted the vehicle at 1:04 p.m. at the intersection of Northport Road and C.R. 400E. Heltzel made a U-turn and began to follow the vehicle. Reports from LaGrange County said Gose was to be considered armed and dangerous, so Heltzel radioed in his location and followed the car until backup could arrive. “It wasn’t a pursuit,” Heltzel said. “I was just following him. I just kept telling them where I was at.”

Four charged in shootings CHICAGO (AP) — Two suspected gunmen and two others have been charged in last week’s shooting of 13 people including a 3-year-old boy in a crowded Chicago park, police said Tuesday. Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy said the gunmen opened fire on the group in retaliation for an earlier shooting in which one of them was slightly wounded. He said there was no specific target, but that the shooters went to the park because it was rival gang territory. “There’s a super-heated group of gunmen who were victims and offenders,” McCarthy said. “This individual was a victim of gun violence and then became an offender.” Police said all four suspects were charged with attempted murder and aggravated battery in Thursday’s attack in Cornell Square Park on the southwest side. Investigators said the shooters where Tabari Young, 22, and 21-year-old Bryon Champ, who each opened fire on the crowded park as people played a nighttime basketball game on a warm late-summer evening. After a brief court appearance Tuesday, a judge ordered all four to be held without bond. Young, who was identified as the principal gunman, used a military-style weapon, while Champ used another gun, McCarthy said. Twenty-two-year-old Brad Jett, a suspected lookout, and 20-year-old
Kewane Gatewood, who is accused of supplying a gun, were also charged, McCarthy said. Young and Jett were charged Tuesday while Champ and Gatewood were charged Monday. The shooting injured two teenagers and 3-yearold Deonta Howard, who is recovering from surgery after being shot near his ear. Authorities say Young has more than a dozen previous arrests and have described Champ as a felon and a documented gang member. Prosecutors said the men were members of the Blackstones street gang who were upset after an unreported shooting that took place earlier in the day in which Champ suffered a graze wound. The park was in an area frequented by members of the Gangster Disciples. Champ, who was convicted in July 2012 on charges of unlawful use of a weapon by a felon, was previously sentenced to Cook County Jail’s boot camp. McCarthy and Mayor Rahm Emanuel cited the charges and Champ’s record to reiterate their demands for tougher gun laws in Illinois. “We need a three-year minimum penalty for illegally carrying a gun on our streets,” Emanuel said. “One of the shooters should have been behind bars rather than in Cornell Park on Thursday night.” McCarthy said the investigation continues, and more people could be charged.
Benedict responds to athiest’s book Final six found in Colorado flooding VATICAN CITY (AP) — Emeritus Pope Benedict XVI has emerged from his self-imposed silence inside the Vatican walls to publish a lengthy letter to one of Italy’s most well-known atheists. In it, he denies having covered up for sexually abusive priests and discusses everything from evolution to the figure of Jesus Christ. Excerpts of the letter were published Tuesday by La Repubblica, the same newspaper which just two weeks ago published a similar letter from Pope Francis to its own atheist publisher. The letters indicate that the two men in white — who live across the Vatican gardens from one another — are pursuing an active campaign to engage non-believers. It’s a melding of papacies past and present that has no precedent and signals that the popes — while very different in style, personality and priorities — are of the same mind on many issues and might even be collaborating on them. Benedict wrote the letter to Piergiorgio Odifreddi, an Italian atheist and
mathematician who in 2011 wrote a book “Dear Pope, I’m Writing to You.” The book was Odifreddi’s reaction to Benedict’s classic “Introduction to Christianity,” perhaps his best-known work. In his book, Odifreddi posed a series of polemical arguments about the Catholic faith, including the church’s sex abuse scandal. The former Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger headed the Vatican office responsible for abuse cases, and was pope when scandal erupted in 2010, with thousands of people coming forward in Europe, Latin America and beyond saying they had been molested by priests while the Vatican turned a blind eye. In his letter, Benedict denies personal responsibility, saying: “I never tried to cover these things up.” “That the power of evil penetrated so far into the interior world of the faith is a suffering that we must bear, but at the same time we must do everything to prevent it from repeating,” he wrote, according to Repubblica. While Vatican officials have long
insisted that Benedict did more than anyone in the church to confront the problem of abusive clergy, Benedict’s letter marked the first time he himself had publicly denied personal responsibility for the scandal. Benedict became the first pope in 600 years to resign when he retired Feb. 28, setting the stage for the election of Francis two weeks later. Benedict said at the time that he would spend his final years “hidden from the world,” living in a converted monastery tucked behind St. Peter’s Basilica, reading and praying. Benedict’s decision to cloister himself was in part due to his own shy, bookish nature, but also to make clear that he was no longer pope and that his successor was in charge. Fear of schism in the church had prevented popes for centuries from stepping down, and Benedict’s resignation immediately raised some not-insignificant questions: How would the Catholic Church deal with the novel situation of having one reigning and one retired pope living side-by-side.

DENVER (AP) — The final six people who were unaccounted for after massive flooding in Colorado have been found safe and well, leaving only one person missing and presumed dead, authorities said Tuesday. Eight deaths have been confirmed. It was a remarkable outcome after a disaster that damaged or destroyed nearly 2,000 homes, washed out hundreds of miles of roads and left many small mountain towns completely cut off. At one point, more than 1,200 people were listed as unaccounted for, but the list shrank quickly as people checked in after they were evacuated. Air National Guard helicopters airlifted more than 3,000 people and nearly
900 pets to safety. “We are really happy that we were able to clear all the missing folks,” Larimer County sheriff’s spokesman John Schulz said, adding that deputies were saddened by the deaths. The woman who is missing and presumed dead is 60 and lived in hard-hit Big Thompson Canyon. Schulz said eyewitnesses saw the woman in the water, and searchers have found no trace of her. Her name hasn’t been released. The toll was dramatically lower than the 144 killed in 1976 when a flash flood thundered down Big Thompson Canyon. About a foot of rain fell at the head of the canyon in just four hours, triggering the deadliest flash flood in state history.

Corresponding secretary Connie Dicke read the notes and then introduced a project to recycle, reuse, refurbish and repurpose to get the sisters involved in making their chapter “go green.” Eleven ideas were given, including • pop tabs given to DeKalb Health for Riley Hospital; • Campbell Soup labels given to J.E.

the two leaders to meet. It would have marked the first time a U.S. and Iranian leader had met in 36 years. Senior Obama administration officials said the U.S. and Iran had been discussing such an encounter for days and the White House supported the idea. But they said the Iranians informed the U.S. on Tuesday that holding a meeting would be “too complicated.� The U.S. officials insisted on anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the deliberations publicly by name. Rouhani, a moderate cleric elected in June, was making his international debut late Tuesday with his own address to the U.N. General Assembly. Since
taking office, Rouhani has launched a charm offensive with the west, calling for a new start in relations with the U.S. and declaring that Iran is not seeking a nuclear weapon. Rouhani’s overtures have been welcomed by the White House, stirring up speculation of a meeting with Obama. However, Rouhani skipped a U.N. leaders’ lunch Tuesday afternoon, erasing the most likely opportunity to meet with Obama. The possible diplomatic thaw between the U.S. and Iran was being watched warily by Israel, which has long sought tough punishments against Tehran in retaliation for its nuclear program.

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — President Barack Obama opened the door to direct nuclear talks with Iran’s moderate new government on Tuesday, declaring diplomacy worth pursuing though skepticism persisted about Tehran’s willingness to back up friendly overtures with concrete action. “The roadblocks may prove to be too great, but I firmly believe the diplomatic path must be tested,� Obama said during an address to the United Nations General Assembly. However, quiet negotiations over a possible first encounter between Obama and Iranian President Hasan Rouhani on the sidelines of the U.N. meeting ended without an agreement for

Cruz talks against Obamacare WASHINGTON (AP) — Tea party conservative Sen. Ted Cruz on Tuesday vowed to speak in opposition to President Barack Obama’s health care law until he’s “no longer able to stand,� even though fellow Republicans privately urged him to back down from his filibuster for fear of a possible government shutdown in a week. “This grand experiment is simply not working,� the Texas freshman told a largely empty chamber of the president’s signature domestic issue. “It is time to make D.C. listen.� Egged on by conservative groups, the potential 2016 presidential candidate excoriated Republicans and Democrats in his criticism of the health care law and Congress’ willingness to gut the law. Cruz supports the House-passed bill that would avert a government shutdown and defund Obamacare, as do many Republicans.
However, they lack the votes to stop Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., from moving ahead on the measure, stripping the health care provision and sending the spending bill back to the House. That didn’t stop Cruz’ quixotic filibuster. Standing on the Senate floor, with conservative Sen. Mike Lee of Utah nearby, Cruz talked about the American revolution, Washington critics and the impact of the health care law. “The chattering class is quick to discipline anyone who doesn’t fall in line,� complained Cruz, who led a small band of opponents within Republican ranks. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and the GOP’s No. 2, Sen. John Cornyn of Texas, opposed Cruz’ tactic, and numerous Republicans stood with their leadership rather than Cruz.

Pacers, George agree to a new contract INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Paul George wanted to keep playing in Indiana. Larry Bird made sure he wasn’t going anywhere. The Pacers star forward agreed Tuesday to a long-term contract, according to a person with knowledge of the deal who spoke on condition of anonymity because it won’t be officially announced until Wednesday. Terms were not immediately available, but he is eligible for a five-year deal worth between $80 million to $90 million, depending on the salary cap. George’s rookie deal was set to expire after next season and the 23-year-old All-Star almost certainly would have been one of most attractive players on the free-agent market. There was speculation the Los Angeles area native might return to California and team up with Kobe Bryant to restore the luster to the Lakers proud franchise. But publicly and behind the scenes, George repeatedly said his sole intention was to win a championship with the Pacers. Bird was so determined to get the deal done before training camp opened Saturday that he left his golf clubs at home Monday instead of playing in the annual Pacers Foundation outing. Instead, he returned to the office to continue negotiating.

Heights sweeps BRUSHY PRAIRIE — It was all about the finish for Prairie Heights in Tuesday’s Northeast Corner Conference volleyball match with Central Noble. The Panthers scored a 25-16, 25-18, 27-25 victory over the Cougars using strong efforts late in the second and third sets. The Panthers never trailed in the opening set, although Central Noble stayed close until a 7-0 Heights run. Up 11-10, the Panthers began their 7-0 spurt with a kill and block by Haley Kleeberg. Havanna Kleeberg had two kills during the run, including a kill that put the Panthers up 18-10. Haley Kleeberg later scored the game point on a block as Heights won 25-16. The Cougars had a great start to Game 2, jumping out to a 6-0 lead, highlighted by two kills from Darby Roe. But the Panthers would close the set by taking the final six points, with Havanna Kleeberg scoring the game point for a 25-18 win. Central Noble controlled much of Game 3 and led 24-18 in the late going. But the Cougars couldn’t finish, with Prairie Heights rallying to tie the match as 24-24 before taking a 27-25 win to wrap up the contest. Fremont at Angola Angola defeated Fremont 25-18, 25-14, 16-25, 25-14 in a Steuben County Volley For A Cure match. Brookston Perschke dished out 25 assists for the Hornets.

CINCINNATI (AP) — Mike Leake had one of those nights that happen to pitchers every so often. Bad timing for this one. And now, the Cincinnati Reds face long odds against a second straight NL Central title. Daniel Murphy hit a three-run homer off Leake, whose long streak of scoreless innings got shattered early, and the New York Mets beat Cincinnati 4-2 on Tuesday night, a costly setback to the Reds’ hopes of another division title. The Reds and Pittsburgh Pirates clinched playoff spots on Monday night, but hoped to chase down the first-place St. Louis Cardinals with closing surges. Leake’s one very bad inning made that much less likely for the Reds. Cincinnati fell a daunting three games behind St. Louis, which beat Washington 2-0 on Tuesday night. If they can’t catch up, they are headed for the wild card playoff game next Tuesday. “We’ll forget about this one,” manager Dusty Baker said. “Four games to go.” Leake (14-7) gave up four runs and eight hits in only 1 2-3 innings, matching the shortest start of his career. Wilfredo Tovar ended his scoreless innings streak at 21 2-3 with an RBI single, and Murphy’s homer gave left-hander Jon Niese (8-8) the big lead. “That happens,” Leake said. “There was one pitch that blew it open for them. They just got me.” Niese kept lefties Joey Votto and Jay Bruce in check again, holding them to a combined 0 for 6 with four strikeouts. Niese allowed two runs and eight hits in seven innings. Vic Black faced three batters in the ninth, getting his first career save on his second try.

It was the first time the former Steuben County distance running standouts competed in the same collegiate meet.

Rinehart, an Angola High School graduate, was 51st and the Cardinals’ No. 5 runner in 19:09.68.
CLEVELAND (AP) — Pinch-hitter Jason Giambi belted a two-run homer with two outs in the ninth inning to give Cleveland a stunning 5-4 win over the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday night, keeping the Indians up with the lead pack in the AL wild-card race. Giambi drove a 1-1 pitch from Addison Reed (5-4) deep into the lower deck in right field to prevent a potentially devastating loss for the Indians, who haven’t been to the postseason since 2007. Giambi’s heart-pounding shot bailed out controversial closer Chris Perez, who gave up two homers in the top of the ninth and nearly blew a game Cleveland had to have. As he rounded third base, the 42-year-old Giambi slowed down before being engulfed at the plate by his teammates as the Indians celebrated their 13th straight win over Chicago.
Bryan Shaw (6-3) came in after Perez had nearly given away a game the Indians couldn’t afford to lose. Giambi has been a steadying force all season for the Indians in the clubhouse, and the unquestioned Drama King on it. This was his 10th career walk-off homer, and his second pinch-hit, walk-off this season. On July 29, he became the oldest player to hit a walk-off homer, breaking a mark previously held by Hall of Famer Hank Aaron. Now, Giambi has become the Indians’ elder statesman of swat. Perez owes him big time. In the top of the ninth, Perez, who has walked a tightrope on and off the field all season, had to be pulled by Indians manager Terry Francona after failing to close out a 3-2 lead. Cleveland came in holding the second AL wild-card spot, one game ahead of Texas and one
behind Tampa Bay. And with five games left, any loss can be devastating. On this night, Giambi saved Perez, the Indians — and maybe their season. With the Indians leading 3-2, Perez gave up a homer to Dayan Viciedo, a shot into the right-field seats that drew a groan from Cleveland fans the moment it left his bat. Perez struck out the next two hitters, but Alejandro De Aza connected on his next pitch, driving it over the wall in right-center. Perez stalked around the mound with his head down before giving up a single to Alexei Ramirez. That brought out Francona to a loud ovation and Perez, who has been a lightning rod of debate over the past two seasons, was booed loudly as he left the field. The Indians had taken a 3-2 lead in the seventh on All-Star Jason Kipnis’ two-out RBI single and Michael Brantley’s leadoff homer.

Cardinals beat Nats ST. LOUIS (AP) — Cardinals rookie Michael Wacha lost his no-hit bid on Ryan Zimmerman’s infield single with two outs in the ninth inning, and St. Louis beat the Washington Nationals 2-0 Tuesday night to close in on the NL Central title. Making his ninth career start, Wacha came about as close as possible to finishing off the third no-hitter in the majors this season. Instead, the Busch Stadium crowd let out a loud, collective groan as he became the third pitcher to have a bid broken up with one out to go. Zimmerman hit a chopper just over the 6-foot-6 Wacha, and the ball bounced slowly toward shortstop. A charging Pete Kozma grabbed it with his bare hand and whipped a throw to first that was a little wide, pulling Matt Adams off the bag as Zimmerman arrived. “I think it nicked off my glove a little bit,” Wacha
said. As the ball left Zimmerman’s bat, several Cardinals started to climb the dugout railing, ready to pour onto the field to celebrate. Second baseman Matt Carpenter did a little hop, all set for the final out. But first base umpire Jeff Kellogg correctly called Zimmerman safe, and the Cardinals sagged right along with their fans. Third baseman David Freese sat crouched in the infield, stunned at how close his 22-year-old teammate had come. Cardinals ace Adam Wainwright put his hands on his head in disbelief. Wacha (4-1) was pulled after Zimmerman’s hit and walked off to a huge ovation. The right-hander struck out nine and walked two. “I guess I wasn’t meant to throw one tonight,” he said. Trevor Rosenthal got Jayson Werth to ground out for his second save.

SPORTS BRIEFS • Lions’ Burleson hurt in accident ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) — Two days after a victory that for this franchise was downright historic, the Detroit Lions are facing another dose of adversity. Receiver Nate Burleson broke his arm in a single-car accident early Tuesday after he reached over to keep two pizza boxes from falling off the front passenger seat, authorities said. Coach Jim Schwartz stopped short of writing off the rest of Burleson’s season, but surgery is scheduled for Wednesday. “It’s not an emergency surgery,” Schwartz said. “Nate’ll be back at some point, and when he will, he will be a big contributor again to our team.” Burleson’s car hit a center median wall on a highway in suburban Detroit and he was taken to a hospital. Michigan State Police Lt. Mike Shaw said there were no indicators of alcohol on the scene or on Burleson’s person after the crash at 2:25 a.m. The team didn’t say which arm was broken. Burleson has a team-high 19 catches — 10 for first downs — and his 239 yards receiving is second to Calvin Johnson on the Lions. The 11-year veteran had six receptions for 116 yards, his highest total since 2007, on Sunday to help Detroit win at Washington for the first time in franchise history. “Any time you’re in a highway accident, there’s potential for worse than broken bones,” Schwartz said. “I think we’ve all dealt with some sort of distraction driving before. I’ve cured myself of texting and driving. I did for about two months — and now I’ve got that SYNC thing with the Fords. I never even touch my cellphone in the car, but one thing that I probably need to cure myself of is eating and driving. “There’s too many times I leave the office real late at night, and you grab something — and I’ve had it happen to me — drop it on your lap or do something else. That’s stuff we all need to learn from.”
Season ends for Fort Wayne native, Cowboys DE Spencer IRVING, Texas (AP) — Dallas defensive end Anthony Spencer will have seasonending surgery on his left knee and may have played his last game for the Cowboys. Spencer’s agent, Jordan Woy, says doctors have a “good idea” what type of surgery but were still considering options. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones spoke earlier on his radio show, saying Spencer was likely to have microfracture surgery. The 29-year-old Spencer is on a one-year contract with the franchise tag for the second straight season, so he will be a free agent when he’s healthy again. He’s making $10.6 million this season. Spencer originally injured the knee in offseason workouts and aggravated it during a conditioning test the day before training camp. He had arthroscopic surgery July 25 and missed the preseason and the opener against the Giants. Last year’s leading tackler for the Cowboys returned and played more than half the game in Week 2 against Kansas City before he was sidelined again. “Here’s a case of a guy, you almost have to tie him up to get him off the field,” Jones said on his radio show. “He was so diligent in his rehab. The individual that I have the most empathy for is Spencer because of the type of person he is.” Microfracture surgery is a procedure to repair cartilage that provides cushion for bones in knee joints. The recovery time is usually at least four months but can be career-threatening for pro athletes. Spencer, who had career highs last year with 106 tackles and 11 sacks, has described his injury as a bone bruise.
NCAA slowly restoring scholarships for Penn State NEW YORK (AP) — On Tuesday, Penn State got some rare good news from the NCAA, which will restore some of the scholarships taken from the school as part of the punishment over the Jerry Sandusky scandal. Five will be reinstated next year, and more will be phased in until the school reaches normal totals in 2016-17. “We have to keep doing what we’re doing,” Nittany Lions coach Bill O’Brien said, “which is work extremely hard to do what’s right for our football program here, for our players, our student-athletes, and most importantly, for the university.” The NCAA credited the school for making significant improvements to its athletics programs after the Sandusky scandal. The scholarship amount will continue to increase until Penn State reaches the full allocation of 25 initial football scholarships in 2015-16 and 85 total in 2016-17.
No ACL tear for Machado BALTIMORE (AP) — The Baltimore Orioles and Manny Machado couldn’t have asked for a much better diagnosis on his injured left knee: The third baseman avoided tearing any major ligaments and could be running in six to eight weeks without surgery. An MRI on Tuesday revealed Machado has a torn medial patellofemoral ligament. He will rest the knee until the swelling subsides and then go through a light rehabilitative program. “The MCL is fine, the ACL is fine,” Orioles head trainer Richie Bancells said. “All those major ligaments are fine. This is a smaller ligament.” The injury occurred Monday during Baltimore’s game at Tampa Bay. Machado was running out a single and stepped awkwardly on the inside of the base.

Once a cop … Based on training, most police officers, if they had their druthers, would sit in the back of a restaurant. A corner is better yet. No one can work their way behind you if your back is against a wall. “I still do that today,” John Simerman said. He has turned in his badge. He no longer carries a gun. But you can’t take the cop out of Simerman — not even at 82. Simerman retired from the Noble County Sheriff’s Department in 1988 after 19 years. That was after he had MATT put in 22 years with the U.S. Marine Corps, retiring as a GETTS master sergeant. His military duty included combat stints in Korea and Vietnam. Now a resident of Florida, Simerman was back in Noble County to attend a law enforcement luncheon for former and current police officers last week. The annual event is organized by another retired Noble County deputy, “You walk out the door Steve Lawson. in the morning, and you “It’s great don’t know if you’ll be for me,” Simerman coming back,” he said. said. “Everybody can come together.” It’s an intriguing and worthwhile effort, particularly bringing in current officers. Older officers have a lot to teach. Simerman would be a good man to emulate. Not just for his career, either. All of us have our dues to pay, trials to endure, circumstances to (hopefully) overcome. Simerman is no different. His come in the form of arthritis that makes it impossible to walk without pain. He can maybe hobble through a quick trip to the grocery store, but that’s about it. The arthritis is most likely a gift of frostbite in Korea. Then there’s the cancer — credit that one to Agent Orange he was exposed to in Vietnam. All that before he became a police officer. Settled in on a home on the Noble County side of Loon Lake, he became the third deputy under Sheriff Roy Sayles. The other deputies were John Stoner and Don Leach. A native of Fort Wayne, Simerman had to learn his county the hard way. “I knew nothing about this county,” he said. “I didn’t know the roads. I didn’t know how to write a ticket. I had to lean real heavily on my military background.” His starting wage was $6,200 per year. He worked seven days a week, then had one day off. “On my day off, I slept,” Simerman said. “When I woke up, it was time to go back to work.” More times than not, he was the only county deputy on his overnight shift. This was back before portable radios. If he got out of his patrol car, there was no way he could communicate with anyone. He became part of the police officer fraternity. It’s a close-knit group. Unless you have done it, you really have no idea. You learn to count on your fellow officers for your life — literally. Simerman said it is a lot like being in the military. “There’s not a whole lot of difference,” he said. “You walk out the door in the morning, and you don’t know if you’ll be coming back.” Time and war have diminished Simerman physically, but mentally he is as sharp as a tack. His heart still beats strong. After a combined 41 years of service to his country and his community, Simerman spent six years serving in a young Marine program in Florida, helping bring discipline and meaning to the lives of young people. Men like Simerman aren’t a different breed, but they are a better one. He is a husband, a father and, yes, still a cop. And a good man.

Waiting for Affordable Care Act may be prudent choice WASHINGTON — News consumers by now have absorbed the message that Republicans are going to defund Obamacare, shut down the government, ruin the economy and starve the poor. This is what Democrats would have you believe and, given the GOP’s recent obstructionist history, it would not be a stretch. However, there is an alternative scenario that bears fair consideration. Not defund, as the House voted to do Friday, but delay. Democrats and President Obama see delay as just another maneuver to upend Obamacare. “Extortion” is the word Obama recently used. But let’s step back a moment and examine some of the reasoning. Sometimes even partisans are right. Topping the list is the fact that the Affordable Care Act (ACA) is becoming increasingly unpopular. Only 39 percent of Americans currently favor the health care program, compared to 51 percent in January, according to a recent CNN/ORC International poll. Some of the reasons: • Many companies are cutting worker hours to below the threshold (30 hours) requiring them to comply with Obamacare. (SeaWorld is cutting hours for thousands of workers.) • Others are cutting workers completely to avoid compliance or to reduce costs associated with the expanded coverage. (The Cleveland Clinic cited Obamacare as one reason for offering early retirement to 3,000 workers and hinting at future layoffs.) • Many young people,
unemployed or earning little, will have trouble paying premiums once open enrollment for health insurance exchanges begins Oct. 1. Even discounts won’t be enough for some, who then will face fines or have to turn to parents who face their own insurance challenges. KATHLEEN List-price premiums for PARKER a 40-yearold buying a mid-range plan will average close to $330 per month, according to a recent Avalere Health study. For someone who is 60, premiums will run about $615 a month. Forget retirement. One of the most popular aspects of Obamacare has been that children can remain on their parents’ policy until they’re 26, but there’s nothing magical about 27 if you don’t have a job, are still in school or are otherwise dependent. Expect many under-30s to decline to buy insurance, whereupon America’s youth will be under the thumb of the IRS. Remember, the Supreme Court ruled that the individual mandate to purchase insurance is a tax. The other most-popular item was the requirement that pre-existing conditions not preclude insurance coverage. Under a proposed alternative plan unveiled recently by the Republican Study Committee — the American
•
Health Care Reform Act (H.R. 3121) — this provision would be protected and funded through state-based, high-risk pools and other reform measures. The biggest concern across all demographics is the likely effect on the larger economy. What happens when so many people lose hours and work and, therefore, income? Moreover, the law is being applied unfairly and unequally, with exemptions and delays offered to special groups and the brunt of the strain falling directly on middle-class Americans. Larger employers, for example, have been given a one-year reprieve on fines for leaving workers uncovered. No such grace for individual citizens. The incentives to cut employees and hours prompted three powerful former supporters to write a strong letter of dissent to Democratic leaders. The letter writers, saying the ACA would destroy the backbone of the American middle class and “the very health and well-being of our members along with millions of other hardworking Americans,” also lamented the falsehood that employees could keep the insurance they like. This is obviously not true despite Obama’s repeated assurances to the contrary. The authors were all union leaders, including James Hoffa, president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. Finally, in a tweak not likely to inspire admiration, the president is offering Congress a break other Americans won’t get. Obamacare

• requires congressional leaders and staff to enter the exchanges like everyone else, but Obama has offered a special dispensation to soften the blow. Their employer — you — will pay part of the premium, a compensatory option not offered to non-federal employers and their befuddled, underemployed staffs. Delay may feel like one more Republican strategy, but that doesn’t necessarily make it unwise. If we can delay sending cruise missiles to Syria pending a better solution, perhaps there’s some sense to delaying a health care overhaul that creates unacceptable collateral damage to citizens and that is not quite ready for public consumption. In the long run, delay might benefit Obama, especially if it averts a revolt once citizens fully absorb the expensive realities of Obamacare and promises not kept. He has already demonstrated that he is comfortable with waiting when risks are disproportionate to theoretical gains. KATHLEEN PARKER is a syndicated columnist with Tribune Media Services.

Woman first to row from Alaska to Japan ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — A 28-year-old British adventurer became the first woman to row solo from Japan to Alaska, arriving late Monday at a small town in the Aleutian Islands after 150 days and 3,750 miles at sea. “I have had some of the most intense and memorable months of my life out on the Pacific, it has been brilliant and brutal at the same time,” Sarah Outen said in a statement. “And it has been a privilege.” Outen celebrated with a bottle of champagne in Adak, Alaska, and greeted community members and supporters, her first human contact in nearly five months, as first reported by the Anchorage Daily News. “I have pushed myself to my absolute limits both physically and mentally to make land here in Alaska, and body and mind are now exhausted,” she said. She left Choshi, Japan, on April 27. It’s part of her plan for a global trek by an ocean rowing shell, kayak and bike. On Monday afternoon, Outen came within a half mile of the Alaska shore before winds and currents started pushing her onto the rocks. Her support team decided it was safer to tow her into Adak’s small harbor.

Iowa woman, 99, finally gets diploma WATERLOO, Iowa (AP) — A 99-year-old Iowa woman who dropped out of a high school more than 80 years ago despite needing only one credit to graduate has finally received her diploma. Audrey Crabtree, of Cedar Falls, smiled Monday as she received an honorary diploma for her time at Waterloo East High School. “And I feel so much smarter,” Crabtree quipped. Crabtree, who began her education at a one-room school house in northeast Iowa, left high school in 1932 due to a swimming and diving accident that forced her to miss several school days. She also had to care for her sick grandmother. “I was a senior, but I was short a credit, so I would’ve had to go back the next fall,” she told the WaterlooCedar Falls Courier. That would have interfered with her plans to marry her first husband. In 1957, the couple bought the flower shop where Crabtree had worked after their two children started school. But her husband died of a heart attack two months into their business venture. Crabtree operated Flowers by Audrey for 28 years. She married two more times and outlived both husbands. Her family today includes five grandchildren and four great grandchildren. Despite Crabtree’s professional and family success, those around her had noted her dissatisfaction with not finishing school. “She had voiced quite a while back the one regret she had in life was that she never had gotten her diploma,” said Shelley Hoffman, Crabtree’s granddaughter. Hoffman contacted Waterloo Community Schools and helped arrange the diploma ceremony. Family and friends surrounded Crabtree as the current principal of East High handed her a diploma during an education board meeting. “I wouldn’t advise anyone to drop out,” she said. “I just have to say in my life the Lord has been so good.” Crabtree was given a copy of her last report card and memorabilia from her time at the high school, including a jacket and homecoming pins. She also received more than 100 handmade congratulatory cards from middle school students.

People walk out of church following the funeral service for Navy Yard shooting victim John R. Johnson at Good
Shepherd Lutheran Church in Gaithersburg, Md., Tuesday.
Navy Yard victims mourned GAITHERSBURG, Md. (AP) — Friends and family of Navy Yard shooting victim John Johnson remembered him Tuesday as a religious family man known for his infectious smile and firm bear hugs. His was one of four funerals held for victims of the Sept. 16 massacre at the Washington Navy Yard. Mourners who attended Johnson’s crowded funeral at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church said the warm recollections of an affable and optimistic family man underscored the tragedy of the shooting that killed 13 last week, including the gunman. “It was just sad that, you know, a good man like this was taken away,” said Melvin David, a family friend from Glenwood. “It was absolutely a senseless act.” Some mourners walked away from the service with thoughts that more must be
done to tighten gun laws. “You just pray and just say: God, we just hope that things like this are, you know, dealt with and gun control and taking away the guns off the street and the senseless tragedies will stop,” said Timothy Anderson, a family friend from Mitchellville. Tony Zagami, Johnson’s son-in-law, described in a eulogy how Johnson, 73, visited him in the hospital after he had brain surgery in August. “In many ways, he sustained me with those visits and hastened my recovery,” Zagami wrote in the eulogy, which was read in church by his son, Dino. “That’s the kind of person he was.” In Dale City, Va., Tuesday evening, several hundred friends and family, many in Navy uniforms, gathered to remember Kathleen Gaarde, 62, of Woodbridge, who worked at
Budget squabble big risk for GOP WASHINGTON (AP) — Under relentless pressure from their right wing, Republicans are in the midst of a risky fight with President Barack Obama they know they will lose, little more than a year before an election that history says they should win. To minimize the damage, the party must re-define victory as something less than a full defunding of the three-year-old health care law, yet persuade the most conservative GOP supporters that Republican lawmakers succumbed after a principled fight. All without triggering a government shutdown or a default by the Treasury, or otherwise offending independents whose ballots will settle the 2014 elections. Already, party leaders are making that effort. “I just don’t happen to think filibustering a bill that defunds Obamacare is the best route to defunding Obamacare,” Sen. Mitch McConnell said archly Tuesday. “All it does is shut down the government and keep Obamacare funded.” That was one day after rejecting the path outlined by the party’s rebel-inchief, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz — who began a speaking marathon on the Senate floor Tuesday afternoon. Seeking to turn the heat on to Democrats, he said that four years ago they voted for the health care law with the “excuse that they didn’t know how it would turn out. Well, they don’t have that excuse now. I think we deserve to know where they stand now.” In addition to the future of health care and a possible government shutdown, the perennial struggle for raw political power is at the root of the struggle. Republicans will need to pick up six seats in
2014 to win control of the Senate, a tall hurdle but not impossibly so. The party out of power in the White House historically has won an average of three to four seats in midterm elections since 1934, and Democrats are defending a half-dozen in difficult circumstances. In the House, the GOP holds a 233-200 majority with two vacancies, and the historical trends show a 27-seat gain in midterm elections for the party locked out of the White House. Enter the campaign to defund Obama’s health care overhaul, accompanied by the risk of a shutdown or default. Democrats, holding a Senate majority and seeking the same in the House, figure that chaos is their friend in the current political climate. They calculate that the public will blame Republicans for any interruption in government services or benefits, as it did two decades ago in the last shutdown confrontation that approximates the current one. As a result, Democratic leaders employ rhetoric designed to raise questions about the mental health of some members of the Republican rank and file, if not their intelligence. Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada routinely refers to them as tea party “anarchists.” New York Rep. Steve Israel, who heads the House Democratic campaign committee, says Republicans have launched a “kamikaze mission to shut down the U.S. government and our economy.” Speaking over the weekend to the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, Obama was less personal but just as pointed. “This is an interesting thing to ponder, that your top agenda is making sure 20 million people don’t have health insurance,” he said.
the Navy Yard as a financial analyst. Her daughter, Jessica Gaarde, said her mom would have been surprised by the outpouring of support and disapproved of any fuss being made over her. “She touched a lot of lives and I don’t think she really knew how much,” she said. Gaarde’s husband of 38 years, Douglass Gaarde, who also worked at the Navy Yard, agreed that his wife would disapprove of all the attention she was getting. “Kathy, I’m sorry, but for all the love you’ve given over the years, you’re going to have to suck it up and accept all the love being given in return,” he said. He said his wife loved travel, the Washington Capitals hockey team, the singing duo Hall & Oates, rescue dogs, and eagles— both the birds and the rock band.
BEIRUT (AP) — Syrian opposition groups and international relief organizations are warning of the risk of mass starvation across the country, especially in the besieged Damascus suburbs where a gas attack killed hundreds last month. With the world’s attention focused on the regime’s chemical weapons, activists said six people — including an 18-month girl — have died for lack of food in one of the stricken suburbs in recent weeks. Save the Children said in an appeal Monday that more than 4 million Syrians, more than half of them children, do not have enough to eat. Food shortages have been compounded by an explosion in prices. “The world has stood and watched as the children of Syria have been shot, shelled and traumatized by the horror of war,” said Roger Hearn, Save the Children’s regional director for the Middle East. “The conflict has already left thousands of children dead, and is now threatening their means of staying alive.” Thousands of people are believed trapped in suburbs east and west of the capital that have been held for months by rebels fighting to topple President Bashar Assad. Regime troops are besieging the areas, and residents say food is increasingly had to find. Rebels say they are trying to break the blockade. The suburbs were the site of the Aug. 21 attack that a U.N. report found included the use of the nerve gas sarin. They were home to more than 2 million people before the war, but it is unclear how many are there now. In some hard-hit areas
such as the western suburb of Moadamiyeh, people are running out of food and are mostly relying on lentils, olives and dried figs, according to residents and activists. “We have no food, no milk and no medicine,” said a woman from Moadamiyeh, who identified herself by her nickname Um Lujain for fear of government reprisals. “We are surviving on one meal a day” Um Lujain said her 18-month-old daughter has lost half her weight and spends most of her days sleeping. The woman said her daughter’s diet is based on the liquid she makes by boiling lentils. “There has been no children formula or bread for about a year,” the woman said. She added that sometimes rebels find expired boxes of powdered milk in abandoned shops or pharmacies, and people still give it to their children for lack of food. According to the Moadamiyeh Media Center, six people have died of starvation over the past 20 days: two women and four children ages 18 months to 7 years. It added that 15 other children are in intensive care in clinics, suffering from malnutrition. On Monday, the opposition Syrian National Coalition accused government forces of tightening their months-long siege. “Assad’s forces are starving people to death in those areas,” the coalition claimed. “Famine looms in the horizon.” Rana Obeid, the 18-month-old girl, was the latest to die on Monday. An amateur video showed her lying on a bed, her ribs visible and her stomach bloated.

Chronic stress causes cells to age prematurely California-San Francisco, was one of the scientists awarded the Nobel Prize. The study included mothers caring for chronically ill children. The women under the greatest stress had the shortest telomeres. It was as if their cells were 10 years older than the women under the least ASK stress. Since that DOCTOR K. study, many other studies Dr. Anthony of people of all ages, in Komaroff different kinds of stressful situations, have come to the same conclusion: Chronic stress leads to shorter telomeres -- to cells that are “older” and closer to the end of their lives. Most of these studies have
•
been done in older adults, but some have been done in younger adults. For example, young pregnant women exposed to major stress during their pregnancies (such as from the illness or death of a parent) have shorter telomeres than young pregnant women with relatively stress-free pregnancies. This even is true in children. Children exposed to lots of violence appear to develop shorter telomeres. Chronic stress in childhood, like physical abuse, can lead to shorter telomeres that remain short into middle age. Professor Blackburn puts it this way: “Telomeres powerfully quantify life’s insults.” What does having “older” cells have to do with health? A growing number of studies show that people with shorter telomeres are much more likely to develop certain types of cancers, heart disease and dementia. In fact, some experts

DEAR DOCTOR K: For years I’ve heard that chronic stress is bad for your health, but recently I heard something that made me take this seriously: Stress causes our cells to age faster. Is this really true? DEAR READER: I’ll bet you’re talking about research showing that stress affects the telomeres. These structures are a part of every cell in our body. And if that’s what you’re asking about, it really is true. In fact, it’s part of a discovery so important that it was honored with the Nobel Prize. The telomeres are the ends of the chromosomes, the structures inside each cell that contain the genes. Over time, the telomeres get shorter. When they get short enough, the cell dies. What does this have to do with stress? Chronic stress leads to shorter telomeres. The first study that showed this was published in 2004. The senior author, professor Elizabeth Blackburn of the University of
sister may not be so lucky. Because she’s out of control, you MUST step in and put a stop to it for her sake. Your sister needs counseling, and if she is going to remain your responsibility, it is imperative that DEAR you assert ABBY control. Talk to her school counselor getting Jeanne Phillips about her the help she needs. You may have to drug-test your sister on a random basis as a condition of her continuing to live with you. Kits are available at your pharmacy. Stop feeling guilty, stay strong, and you may be able to steer your sister back on the right path.
are predicting that we will soon be routinely measuring the length of a person’s telomeres as part of assessing his or her health. Could stress-reduction techniques slow cellular aging? In a review article published last year in the scientific journal Nature, professor Blackburn says the answer probably is “yes.” She describes preliminary studies of stress reduction combined with increased physical activity and dietary changes. It appears from these studies that the telomere shortening may be slowed. The story of telomeres and cell aging is a prime example of how scientists interested in how our cells work can make unexpected discoveries about what makes us sick — and how to prevent it. DR.

Clinton helps to push Obamacare Earthquake hits Pakistan, 39 dead
NEW YORK (AP) — President Barack Obama and former President Bill Clinton took to the same stage Tuesday to promote the new health care law that Obama championed after Clinton’s own efforts to reform health care years earlier fell flat. Joining forces under dimmed lights in a hotel ballroom in New York, Obama and Clinton laid out the law’s benefits and its connection to the economy while dispelling what they called disinformation about its downsides. Clinton, acting as host, lobbed the questions; Obama answered with the eagerness of a guest on a daytime TV talk show. It was a pair of presidents in dark suits, reclining on comfy, white chairs as they reflected on the effort that went in to passing the sweeping law, and the intense challenges facing its implementation. New exchanges where Americans can buy health insurance — a centerpiece of the law — open for enrollment on Oct. 1. “I don’t have pride of authorship for this thing, I just want the thing to work,” Obama said. He added that
he was confident Americans will be swayed by its advantages even though polls show they’re deeply wary of the law. “The devil you know is always better than the devil you don’t know.” Clinton felt free to point out some of the drawbacks in the law’s implementation, while making clear that Obama was not the one to blame. For example, noting that the Supreme Court said states could not be forced to take Medicaid money to finance the expansion of health coverage. “That’s going to lead to a cruel result, and there’s nothing the president can do, and it’s not his fault. That’s what the Supreme Court said,” Clinton said. The joint appearance, sponsored by the former president’s foundation known as the Clinton Global Initiative, marks the start of a concerted campaign by the Obama administration and its allies to inform consumers about their options under the law. It also took place around the 20th anniversary of Clinton’s address to a joint session of Congress calling
QUETTA, Pakistan (AP) — A major earthquake struck a remote area in southwestern Pakistan on Tuesday, killing at least 39 people as houses collapsed and possibly pushing up the earth to create a new island off the country’s southern coast. The Pakistani military said it was rushing troops and helicopters to Baluchistan province’s Awaran district, where the quake was centered, as well as the nearby area of Khuzdar. Local officials said they were sending food and tents for people who had nowhere to sleep as strong aftershocks continued to AP rock the area. President Barack Obama, right, walks on stage with Most people were killed former President Bill Clinton before speaking at the when their houses collapsed Clinton Global Initiative in New York Tuesday. before they could rush outside, according to the for an overhaul of the health the two presidents with a chief spokesman for the list of what they have in care system.

information from officials in the district. “We all ran out for safety in the open field in front of our house. Many other neighbors were also there. Thank God no one was hurt in our area but the walls of four or five house collapsed,” said Khair Mohammed Baluch, who lives in the town of Awaran, roughly 50 kilometers (30 miles) south of the epicenter. Pakistan’s chief meteorologist, Mohammed Riaz, put the magnitude of the quake at 7.7, while the U.S. Geological Survey in Golden, Colo. said it was magnitude 7.8. Pakistani officials are investigating whether the powerful earthquake pushed up the earth and formed a new land mass. The Pakistan Meteorological Department’s director general, Arif Mahmood, said witnesses reported that a small island appeared near the port of Gwadar following the quake.
