H
ow much is
the life of
one person
worth?
In 2012, the number
of people who died
on U.S. highways was
more than 35, 000.
That is more than
three times the total
population of the city
of Cadillac. That num-
ber, however, doesnt
just represent 2012, but
is repeated annually.
That means annu-
ally, the population of
the city of Cadillac is
wiped out more than
three times each year.
One might think that
would gather a lot of
attention but since
the deaths happen
sporadically, a focus is
not given by the aver-
age person. For that
reason, road safety re-
mains one of the most
challenging issues
facing Michigan and
the nation.
Find out what is
being done to help
lessen the number of
fatalities.

Mike Peterson, a resi-
dent of LeRoy, polished his
2004 Jeep Liberty for the
classic car show. He said
he chose to showcase his
ride because of its stock
timberline green paint
job. Peterson said the car
show is one of his favor-

The dollars and sense

Forget horsepower: Its all about the dogpower
by rick charmoli
cadillac news
HarrIEtta It wont be too long
before teams of sled dogs are out
in the woods doing what they do
best mushing.
Dry land dog races are becom-
ing the fastest growing segment of
dog-powered sports and the Cadil-
lac area is again hosting an event.
The weekend of Nov. 9 and 10,
mushers and their teams, as well
as spectators, will have the oppor-
tunity to see dry land dog sledding
at the third annual Dry Land Sled
Dog Races at Lost Pine Lodge near
Harrietta.
Matt Woudenberg, of the Great
Lakes Sled Dog Association, said
organizers are excited about
bringing the dry land races to the
Cadillac area again after the frst
one was held in Manistee.
Races are scheduled to start at
9:30 a.m., on both days. Teams will
be coming from all over Michigan
as well as from other parts of the
country.
The races will include four- and
six-dog wheeled cart races, as well
as two-dog bike races and one- or
two-dog scooter races. In those
races, riders use dogs to pull them
on a bike or scooter. There also are
Canicross classes. Canicross is the
sport of cross-country running
while hitched to a dog. The trick
to this event is to train the dog to
pull with just enough force to help
the runner move forward but not
topple over.
The event will be open and free
to the public.
The Great Lakes Sled Dog As-
sociation is a family oriented club
whose members own and race sled
dogs. GLSDAs primary activity is
to organize and operate competi-
tive sled dog races throughout the
state of Michigan. Other activities
include training sessions, social
gatherings and club meetings.
Lost Pines Lodge is situated in
southwest Wexford County, 5 1/2
Miles southeast of Harrietta, 20
miles west of Cadillac off M-55.
For race site and lodging informa-
tion, call 389-2222.

In the frst article of this series
I stated, Everyone irrespective
of ethnicity, vocation, education,
religious or non-religious
experience, according to the
scriptures serves a god.
You may be saying I have no
religious affliation and choose
not to have one, so how is it that I
serve a god?
A mistake that humans
make is to equate religion with
spirituality. You are spiritual because you are a
spirit, NOT because you attend or are a member of
some religious organization. (See Genesis 1:26-27;
John 4:24; Romans 7:22; 2 Corinthians 4:16 and 1
Thessalonians 5:23).
The idea that only religious people are spiritual is
erroneous. Every human being is spiritual by virtue
of creation. God (the God of heaven) who is a Spirit
(John 4:24) has created us all (Genesis 1:26-27) and
is the Only one who can create life! You may have never
attended a church service a synagogue or a religious
service of any kind, but you can be assured of this one
thing; you are as spiritual as any other human!
Religion is a means by which spirituality is expressed.
Spirituality has two sides, which we will explore in our
proof that everyone does indeed serve a god.
When God (God of heaven) created man He created
him as a free moral agent. In other words, God created
man with the ability to choose. After God created Adam
and Eve He placed them in the Garden of Eden with
only one restriction - they were not to eat of the Tree-
of-the-Knowledge-of-Good and Evil. For God said, for
in the day that you eat thereof you shall surely die
(Genesis 2:16-17).

The dollars and sense of saving lives on the road
by rick charmoli
cadillac news
CADI LLAC Another
roundabout has opened in
the area and again it has
received some ire from the
public.
The main point of con-
cern is the cost. While $1.4
million is a lot of money
for the project, Michigan
Department of Trans-
portation Cadillac Trans-
portation Service Center
Manager Rick Liptak said
the project was paid for
with federal safety grants.
How those funds were giv-
en was based on the need
for safety improvements
at the intersection of M-37
and M-115.
There are national stud-
ies in the area of transpor-
tation that identify the
cost to society for different
types of accidents, includ-
ing fatalities, Liptak said.
We use those numbers
to help analyze where the
right spots to focus safety
funds are.
Liptak said in a national
study, National Highway
Traffc Safety Administra-
tion states a traffic fatal-
ity costs a business $1.4
million while the cost to
a family is about $4.6 mil-
lion. Things that contrib-
ute to those fgures include
property damage, lost
earnings, lost household
production, medical costs,
emergency services, travel
delay, vocational rehabili-
tation, workplace costs,
administrative costs, le-
gal cost, and pain and lost
quality of life.
We as a society have be-
come a little too accepting
that people die on the high-
way system, he said. Not
of our own family but
someone elses. We dont
pull it out and realize it is
a big number.
When it comes to putting
in structures that are de-
signed to increase safety,
Liptak said $1.4 million
is a lot of money but the
return on investment is
worth it if it saves just one
life.
We are trying to pre-
vent fatalities at those
intersections and we are
trying reduce or eliminate
them. Im sure if it was
one of your loved ones we
prevented from dying, it
probably would be a differ-
ent story, he said.
When it comes to fund-
ing for road projects, Lip-
tak said MDOT does try to
set aside money to address
safety. They also monitor
intersections and stretches
of highway for which ones
need to be addressed soon-
er rather than later.
After an area is identi-
fed as one that needs to be
addressed, Liptak said it is
then determined whether
there is money to do it.
Recently, Michigan legis-
lators received a surprise
as there is enough money
left in the states general
fund to devote millions of
dollars to needed projects.
That money has been ear-
marked to go toward the
states roads. Although
its already been decided
that the $230 million will
be used for road projects,
it still remains to be seen
who will beneft. The frst
$115 million will be avail-
able Oct. 1, with the rest re-
leased Feb. 1.
Under the Act 51 for-
mula, after administration
costs, the Michigan Depart-
ment of Transportation re-
ceives 39.1 percent, county
road commissions receive
the same amount, and the
rest is dedicated to cities
and villages.
REDUCING DEATHS
TO ZERO
Toward Zero Deaths is a
new statewide safety cam-
paign based on the national
strategy on highway safety
intended to infuence driv-
er behavior and improve
safety.
One day per month on
various I, M and US routes,
Dynamic Message Signs
will display the number of
traffc fatalities on Michi-
gan roadways year to date.
If there is a higher-priority
message to display, the sign
will be switched. Higher
priority messages include
incident messages, lane
closures, shoulder clo-
sures and work zone mes-
sages. This program will
run from July through No-
vember.
Driver behavior factors
into nearly 90 percent of
all fatal crashes and one
key to changing driver
behavior is educating the
public on the scope of the
issue. Posting fatality mes-
sages on DMS is one sim-
ple and inexpensive way
MDOT can contribute to
that effort. Currently, nine
states are posting fatal-
ity messages on their own
DMS.
RAISING THE SPEED
LIMIT
Some Michigan lawmak-
ers are looking to lift the
70 mph cap on highway
speeds and making other
changes to reduce speed
traps. Grand Ledge Sen.
Rick Jones is working
on a bill with fellow Re-
publican Tom Casperson
from Escanaba that they
hope to introduce this fall.
One proposal would raise
speed limits to 75 mph or
80 mph on some stretches
of highway.
Sen. Darwin Booher, R-
Evart, didnt support the
no-helmet law for motor-
cycle riders and said he
doesnt support this mea-
sure, either.
The proposal would
make all roadways fol-
low the 85th percentile
rule commonly endorsed
and employed by trans-
portation officials. That
means setting limits that
correspond with speeds
at which 85 percent of ve-
hicles safely travel.
Jones, a former Eaton
County sheriff, said some
local governments delib-
erately set speeds low to
trap drivers and generate
money from traffc tickets.
Hed like to close what he
calls a loophole in a law
enacted in 2006 that re-
quires all road agencies to
set speed limits based on
speed studies.
Michigans current top
highway speed of 70 mph
is consistent with neigh-
boring states, including
Illinois and Ohio. Some
states, such as Arizona,
Colorado, Maine and Tex-
as, have limits as high as
75 mph or 80 mph.
If such legislation is
passed, transportation
officials would need to
conduct speed studies be-
fore any changes could be
made. Statewide freeway
studies currently being
conducted by the Michi-
gan State Police are ex-
pected to be completed by
the end of the year.

This was the largest
number of cars Ive seen
at the festival, Peterson
said. There were many
more than last year.
Inside the craft beer
tent, the Cadillac Craft
Beer Festival featured
10 breweries. The festi-
val also featured a home
brew competition. Arca-
dia Ales, Mount Pleasant
Brewing Company, Griffn
Claw, New Holland Petos-
key Brewing, Right Brain
Brewery, Schmohz Brew-
ery, Northern Natural Ci-
der, St. Ambrose Cellars
and Uncle Johns Cider
Mill each brought favorful
drinks for guests beneath
the tent.
Doug Coster, with St.
Ambrose Cellars, said the
festival was a great op-
portunity for breweries to
showcase their signature
flavors. Pouring flavors
such as Evil Twin Cherry,
XR Cyser and Razmanian
Devil, he said Razmanian
Devil was one of their
most popular drinks of the
evening.
This was our frst year.
We wanted to be here and
spread a little St. Ambrose
Cellars mead into the Ca-
dillac area, Coster said.
Joy VanDrie, executive
director of the Cadillac
Area Visitors Bureau, said
the turnout for this years
festival was much larger
than last year. At around
8 p.m., VanDrie said event
organizers even ran out of
beer temporarily.
We had well over a
thousand plus people here
this weekend, VanDrie
said. We cant be happier,
other than if we wouldve
had more beer.
This years festival
didnt include the Fall Fe-
ver Parade due to a need
for more volunteers, VanD-
rie said. However, she said
a number of businesses in-
quired about volunteering
at next years event.
The event ended at 11
p.m. with live music at the
city park. The Fall Fever
Festival started fve years
ago as a celebration com-
memorating the comple-
tion of the first phase of
the Mitchell Street proj-
ect through downtown
Cadillac.

Hunters snap up licenses
for Mich. wolf hunt
MARQUETTE (AP)
Hunters are snapping up
licenses for Michigans frst
wolf hunt in November.
More than 1,000 licenses
the bulk of the 1,200-li-
cense limit were sold by
Saturday evening. Hunters
will have a chance to kill
43 wolves in seven Upper
Peninsula counties during
a six-week season that ends
at the end of the year.
I expected them to be
fying off the shelves pretty
fast. So I got in line with
a few other folks here and
was lucky to get one, said
state Rep. John Kivela, D-
Marquette, who dropped by
the Department of Natural
Resources offce in Mar-
quette.
A wolf license costs $100
for a Michigan resident and
$500 for a non-resident.
Opponents hoping to stop
future hunts are gathering
petition signatures for a
statewide vote. They were
out Saturday trying to get
43 signatures each, one for
each wolf in the inaugural
hunt.
That was kind of sym-
bolic, Jill Fritz, director
of Keep Michigan Wolves
Protected, told The Mining
Journal.
A recent census by the
DNR put the wolf popula-
tion at 658. Some U.P. resi-
dents say wolves are out of
hand, preying on livestock
and pets and venturing too
close to residential areas.
But defenders of the wolves
say people already have the
authority to kill those that
attack their animals, and
that the wily predators natu-
rally avoid humans.
Man just released from
prison suspected in
stabbing death
SUPERIOR TOWNSHIP,
Mich. (AP) A man sus-
pected in the death of a
23-year-old Washtenaw
County woman was re-
leased on parole just three
days before the fatal stab-
bing.
MLive.com reports
that the man hasnt been
charged yet in the death of
Shandar Turner, but the
incident triggered an im-
mediate arrest for a parole
violation.
Turner was found Friday
on the steps of her home in
Superior Township where
she lived with twin 4-year-
old boys. Police say the
suspect and Turner knew
each other.

School safety bill needs only House approval
By SHEILA SCHIMPF
capital newS SerVice
LANSING A bill that
would establish a 24-hour
hotline for confdential re-
ports of crimes and threats
in schools won Senate ap-
proval in June, got funding
approved by Gov. Rick Sny-
der in July, and needs only
House approval and the
governors fnal signature.
The Student Safety Act,
based on a successful pro-
gram in Colorado, is in
the House Appropriations
Committee, said Ari Adler,
communications director
for Speaker Jase Bolger, R-
Marshall.
Its being reviewed,
Adler said. I dont know
what the timeline is. There
are other ways to report
that information now.
Because those other ways
exist, Adler said, the bill
isnt considered urgent.
Under the proposal, the
attorney general would
set up the hotline and the
Michigan State Police
would keep its records. The
Colorado hotline was set up
after the Columbine school
shooting in 1999 and is cred-
ited with stopping 28 school
attacks, 275 weapon inci-
dents, 442 sexual offenses,
890 suicides and 1,636 bul-
lying incidents, according
to the Senate Fiscal Agen-
cy bill analysis.
The Student Safety Act
would cover public, pri-
vate, denominational and
parochial schools from de-
velopmental kindergarten
through grade 12.
The hotline would be
named OK-2-SAY.
Proponents of the bill
point to a federal study by
the Secret Service and the
Department of Education
that found someone else
knew an attackers plan
in 81 percent of the school
violence incidents they
looked at. In 59 percent of
the cases, more than one
person knew of the plan.
Students told the survey
takers they didnt report
the planned crimes be-
cause they were afraid no
one would believe them, or
that others would fnd out
and they would be ostra-
cized.
Similar programs in
Michigan are local or re-
gional. They include one
in Cadillac Area Public
Schools and the privately-
funded Kent County Silent
Observer Fast 50 pro-
gram, both considered suc-
cesses.
The State Police has a
school violence telephone
hotline but the department
admits, its not widely pub-
licized (1-800-815-TIPS), ac-
cording to the bill analysis.
The appropriations mea-
sure signed by Snyder sets
aside $3.5 million to im-
plement the hotline if
the bill becomes law. The
money comes from the
Lawsuits Settlement Fund,
money the state wins in
settlements.
Bills to establish the ho-
tline were introduced in
the House and Senate on
the same day by Sen. Judy
Emmons, R-Sheridan, and
Rep. Rick Outman, R-Six
Lakes.
The Michigan Student
Safety Act is about enhanc-
ing our ability as a state to
uncover violent activities
before they occur and re-
spond quickly, Emmons
said. This starts with
knocking down the bar-
riers that intimidate stu-
dents from telling someone
about planned violence in
our schools.
The Michigan Education
Association has called on
the House to pass the bill.
Safety is one of the most
pressing issues facing our
schools, and indeed, our
society, said Steve Cook,
the MEA president. Teach-
ers and education support
professionals cant help stu-
dents reach their full aca-
demic potential without a
safe learning environment
in place.

CADI LLAC Famil ies
spent the day enjoying
and learning about the
outdoors during the coun-
trys largest single-day
volunteer effort for public
lands.
Northern Michigan res-
idents joined Huron-Man-
istee National Forests
staff in Celebrating Na-
tional Public Lands Day
at the Caberfae Trailhead.
On Saturday, visitors
learned about wildlife
safety, hiking, forest re-
sources and public lands
in the Cadillac area at the
free event. Forest Service
employees also presented
stations for orienteering
and leaf rubbing. Smokey
Bear and Woodsy Owl
were also available to
teach visitors about fire
safety. Firefighters also
showcased a fire engine
with various tools to com-
bat outdoor fires.
Dave Pieknik, a wild-
land firefighter at U.S.
Forest Service, said mak-
ing the public aware of
fire safety is an impor-
tant tool in reducing the
amount of outdoor fires
encountered by firefight-
ers. Pieknik said a vast
majority of the fires they
extinguish are typically
set by people.
Its important to be
fire wise, Pieknik said.
If we can give people
that education, then it
will make our jobs a lot
easier.
The Wexford County
Conservative District, as
well as staff from District
Health Department No.
10, were also available to
present information on
healthy living and pro-
grams.
All standard amenity
recreation f ees were
waived on Saturday at all
Forest Service operated
sites for NPLD.
Kenneth Arbogast, pub-
lic affairs officer for the
Huron-Manistee National
Forests, said people in
Michigan are very fortu-
nate to have state parks,
state forests, national
parks and national for-
ests. He said Forest Ser-
vice employees hoped to
encourage more people to
discover the opportuni-
ties to enjoy the outdoors.
He said the outdoor cel-
ebration also promoted
good health through out-
door activities.
Most people in Michi-
gan have a real tie to the
lands, Arbogast said.
Mi chi gan resi dent s
enjoy hunting, fishing,
camping, hiking and
boating. A lot of those ac-
tivities they do on public
lands.
NPLD is a volunteer ef-
fort that began in 1994,
with 700 volunteers and
three sites.
Saturday marked the
20th anniversary for
NPLD. The event is typi-
cally held annually on the
last Saturday of Septem-
ber.
Last year marked the
largest NPLD in the his-
tory of the event, with
approximately 175,000 vol-
unteers.

EVART When 16-year-
old Carly Weinberg be-
gan dancing over a de-
cade ago, she saw it as a
way for self-expression.
A creative outlet. She
would be the first to ad-
mit she didnt see her-
self dancing her way to
becoming a teen busi-
ness owner.
But her quick smile
and boundless energy
light up when she talks
about dance, and it is
easy to see it is conta-
gious.
Perhaps that is what
got her to where she is
today.
I just love dance, and
love to teach it, to share
it, and I couldnt imag-
ine Evart not having a
dance studio here, she
said simply.
But her transition
from dancer to boss
didnt come easy.
When the previous
owner of Evarts long
time dance studio, Step-
pin Up, decided to hang
up her dancing shoes,
Weinberg was one of ma-
ny dancers saddened by
the news.
A busy high school ju-
nior at Evart High School,
Weinberg had someone in
her corner when it came
to the next step.
Last winter, Weinberg
hammered out a deal with
her fnancial backers (in
this case, her parents),
and soon, the teen was the
owner of a dance studio,
located in downtown Ev-
art.
Along with other expe-
rienced dancers, Wein-
berg teachers her passion
to a new generation of
ballet, tap and jazz danc-
ers.
It has meant step-
ping back on some of
her other leadership re-
sponsibilities, but thats
alright, as school and
slipping on dance shoes
keeps the young entre-
preneur tapping all day,
every day.
I love it, or I wouldnt
be here, said Weinberg,
intent on bal ancing
books and ballet with a
smile.

FLINT (AP) Some
old Michigan dams need
upgrades or should be
removed before they fail
under extreme weather
conditions, a newspaper
reported Sunday.
Three dams monitored
by state regulators are
rated as unsatisfactory,
one is poor and 15 more are
considered to be fair. Doz-
ens of dams are close to 50
years old or older, the De-
troit Free Press reported.
Its infrastructure in
our country today, not just
dams. Bridges, highways.
Thats a huge, ticking time
bomb in my mind for the
entire country, said By-
ron Lane, chief of dam
safety at the Department
of Environmental Quality.
Dams typically are built
to confine water from a
river or stream. The goal
might be recreation, such
as a lake, or to produce
electricity or control food-
ing.
In Flint, the Hamilton
Dam on the Flint River in
downtown River is crum-
bling and some foodgates
dont work. The Flint cam-
pus of the University of
Michigan is on either side
of the dam.
I had no idea. Im a lit-
tle bit scared to be sitting
here right now, said stu-
dent Hannah Lee, 18, of
Clarkston.
Rebecca Fedewa, ex-
ecutive director of the
Flint River Watershed
Coalition, said impound-
ing the Flint River as a
backup water supply may
be unnecessary as the city
moves into a regional wa-
ter authority. The coalition
would like to see the dam
removed, a step that would
provide more access for
fshing or kayaking.
With the river low, the
chances of anything hap-
pening seem very small,
Fedewa said of a dam
failure. With the heavier
rains and spring thaws,
the river does go up quite
a bit. We always have our
fngers crossed.
More than $2 million in
state money was set aside
last year for local govern-
ments and other group to
help with repairs or re-
movals. Five projects re-
ceived grants, including
the removal of the Board-
man Dam on the Board-
man River in the Traverse
City area and work on the
Otsego Dam on the Ka-
lamazoo River in Allegan
County. The Trowbridge
Dam, also on the Kalama-
zoo, is rated with the Ot-
sego Dam as unsatisfac-
tory.
Michigan dams getting old, need attention
WASHINGTON (AP)
The Agricul ture
Department says 524
schools out of about
100,000 have dropped
out of the federally sub-
sidized national school
lunch program since
the government intro-
duced new standards
for healthier foods last
year.
The new standards
have been met with
grumbling from school
nutrition officials who
say they are difficult
and expensive to fol-
low, conservatives who
say the government
shouldnt be dictating
what kids eat and
unsurprisingly from
some children who say
the less- greasy food
doesnt taste as good.
But USDA says the vast
majority of schools are
serving healthier food,
with some success.
Data the department
is planning to release
Monday shows that
80 percent of schools
say they have already
met the requirements,
which went into place
at the beginning of the
2012 school year. About
a half percent have
dropped out of the pro-
gram.
In an effort to stem
high childhood obe-
sity levels, the new
guidelines set limits on
calories and salt, and
phase in more whole
grains in federally sub-
sidized meals served
in schools main lunch
line. Schools must offer
at least one vegetable
or fruit per meal and
comply with a variety
of other specific nutri-
tion requirements. The
rules aim to introduce
more nutrients to grow-
ing kids and also make
old favorites healthier
pizza with low-fat
cheese and whole-wheat
crust, for example, or
baked instead of fried
potatoes.
Small number of schools
drop out of lunch program

WASHINGTON State
universities and community
colleges should offer free
tuition to all students who
academically qualify for ad-
mission.
Our current, insuffcient,
ineffcient patchwork of col-
lege aid relies increasingly
on loans that saddle gradu-
ates with too much debt and
too few options once they
enter the workforce.
Tuition-free and loan-free
college education would
not only give a vital boost to
aspiring students of modest
and middle means, but make
sure we dont cheat our so-
ciety of its next great leader
because she or he faced a
purely economic bar to col-
lege admission.
Recognizing a democracys
basic need for an educated
citizenry, our nation has tried
through most of its history to
make college more accessible
and affordable.
Weve enacted laws rang-
ing from the Northwest Or-
dinance of 1787 and Morrill
Act of 1862, which helped
create the relatively low-cost
state college system; to the
post-World War II GI Bill
and Higher Education Act
of 1965, which gave direct
aid to students. As a result,
ours was the frst society in
human history with a broad
participation in higher edu-
cation.
That policy of widening
college access was aban-
doned beginning in the 1970s.
Spurred on by faulty theo-
ries on how best to aid low-
income students and by state
governments budget crises
which were fueled in part
by profigate tax-cutting
state colleges began to re-
ceive less public funding and
in turn demand more from
students and their families in
the form of tuition and fees.
Meanwhile, direct aid such
as Pell Grants began to
shrink and student debt to
grow.
The results have been
predictably bad. Collective
student debt now tops $1 tril-
lion, greater than all credit
card debt combined. More
and more promising students
are making the economic cal-
culation that college just isnt
worth the price.
Luckily, some far-seeing
reformers have set out to
change that troubling calcu-
lation. The Oregon legisla-
ture recently created a com-
mission to consider a plan
Pay It Forward, Pay It
Back that would fnance
tuition-free attendance at the
states four-year and commu-
nity colleges via a 3 percent
surtax on the income of grad-
uates, a system that already
works well in Australia and
the United Kingdom.
Robert Samuels, president
of the University Council-
American Federation of
Teachers, proposed in a re-
cent academic journal that
all college education could be
made tuition-free and loan-
free simply by using more ef-
fciently the public resources
already dedicated to higher
education.
He calcu-
lated that it
would cost the
government a
hefty $130 bil-
lion a year to
directly pay the
tuition of the
approximately
6.5 million un-
dergraduates
in public four-
year colleges
and 4.3 million
in community
colleges. But thats what
Washington and the states al-
ready spend on higher educa-
tion, if you add together the
cost of Pell Grants, loan guar-
antees and state assistance.
Public college aid is cur-
rently misallocated. Federal
and state tax credits and de-
ductions for individual stu-
dents to attend higher educa-
tion cost public treasuries
about $70 billion between
1999-2009.
While such tax incentives
are a boon to wealthier fami-
lies who can pay their own
way, they do little to assist
lower-income and middle-in-
come households, who must
rely on loans and are saddled
with ever increasing student
debt.
States also lose money on
college-savings plans, which
the wealthy can use as tax
shelters, but which again do
little to help poorer students
and their families.
As Samuels points out, re-
placing the current potpourri
of institutional aid, tax sub-
sidies, and student grants
and loans with direct public
payment of tuition would in
the long run save money.
More important, free high-
er education would restore
our nations vaunted but now
mostly absent social mobil-
ity, create a more capable
workforce, better prepare
Americans for the duties of
citizenship and make sure
that smart, ambitious young
Americans from any side of
town can fulfll their dreams.

eting college tuition threat-
ens educational opportunity
in America!
While median household
incomes have shrunk since
the economic crisis, pub-
lished tuition at public col-
leges has jumped 25 percent
since 2008, largely in re-
sponse to state funding cuts.
Net prices what students
pay after grants and
scholarships have not
risen as quickly thanks
to a one-time, unprec-
edented increase in Pell
Grant spending. But
with income and tuition
moving in opposite direc-
tions, students increas-
ingly face a bleak choice:
take on crippling debt or
forgo college altogether.
Some say the solution
is to create a public op-
tion for higher educa-
tion to reallocate existing
federal student aid dollars
toward a European-style sys-
tem of free public colleges.
In a recent book, Ameri-
can Federation of Teachers
University Council president
Robert Samuels argues that
we could pay for a public
option by directing federal
student aid investments to
public campuses and requir-
ing those schools to focus
resources on instruction.
While its tempting to as-
sume that tuition-free public
colleges would solve our
higher education problems
overnight, merely moving re-
sources around is no panacea
for rising costs and low rates
of student success.
First, a public option would
change who pays for higher
education, but not neces-
sarily how much it costs to
provide it.
Economists argue that tra-
ditional higher education is
like other service industries:
because the product entails
interaction with highly edu-
cated labor in small groups,
it is diffcult to raise produc-
tivity.
As wages rise in the rest of
the economy, colleges must
pay employees more even
though their output doesnt
increase, leading to higher
costs.
Simply shifting who pays
the bill will do little to change
this equation. So while exist-
ing federal and state invest-
ments might cover the cost of
a public option today, those
same sums wont go as far
next year or the year after
unless colleges also make
changes to their cost struc-
ture. Taxpayers would have
to foot an increasingly large
bill.
Second, its not clear that
a public option would auto-
matically raise student suc-
cess. Take Californias com-
munity colleges, which have
the lowest published tuition
in the nation $1,135 in 2011-
12 and are essentially free
to many students who qualify
for Pell Grants.
A 2012 analysis by the
Institute for a Competitive
Workforce found that reten-
tion and completion rates
across Californias com-
munity colleges were above
the national average. But
completion rates were even
higher at two-year colleges in
Wisconsin and North Dakota,
where tuition is two to three
times as high and Pell Grant
recipients make up a larger
percentage of enrollments.
The point isnt that tuition
prices dont matter. But these
outcomes do suggest that
pushing tuition to zero may
not be a silver-bullet solution
to lackluster student success.
Third, many consumers
equate high tuition prices
with quality. So even if there
were a public option that
costs nothing, many affuent
families would likely still opt
to send their kids to private
colleges, leaving less advan-
taged students in the public
option. Increased sorting by
income could further exclude
lower income students from
the peer effects that are
an important part of educa-
tional quality.
Finally, a public option
would crowd out innovations
that emerge from private col-
leges.
Western Governors Uni-
versity in Salt Lake City,
Southern New Hampshire,
Excelsior College in Albany,
N.Y. and Capella University
in Minneapolis all private
are perfecting competency-
based models where students
get credit based on what they
know rather than how long
they sit in class.
And upstart online course
providers like Straighter-
Line, Udacity and Coursera
allow students across the
globe to access low or no-cost
courses. A public option
might weaken demand for
those products and dampen
the pace of change.
Solving the college cost cri-
sis will require fundamental
changes in cost structures,
not just tuition prices. To get
there, leaders need to foster
competition across all types
of providers, not create a
public monopoly.

Shifting tuition to taxpayers may

Pro
&
Con
The KoreA Herald, Seoul, South
Korea on policymakers need to
remain vigilant:
The U.S. Federal Reserve
has brought both good and
bad news by deciding to de-
lay scaling back its massive
bond-purchasing program.
The Fed has been printing
money to inject liquidity
into the fnancial system
and thereby stimulate the
U.S. economy. Each month,
it has purchased $85 bil-
lion worth of Treasury and
mortgage bonds to encour-
age people to borrow, spend
and invest.
Until early last week, the
Fed was widely expected
to take its frst step toward
rolling back the extraor-
dinary stimulus measures
this month. A majority of
Wall Street analysts predict-
ed that it would announce a
reduction of $10 billion-$15
billion in its bond purchas-
es at its Sept. 18 meeting.
But it decided to keep the
current quantitative easing
measures intact, citing the
weak hiring and economic
growth fgures.
The Feds unexpected
move is good news for a
group of emerging coun-
tries whose currencies have
plummeted in value since
May when Fed Chairman
Ben Bernanke frst sug-
gested a possible pullback
of the stimulus program
within this year.
These countries, in-
cluding Indonesia, India,
Thailand and Turkey, suf-
fered an outfow of foreign
capital as the prospect of
higher U.S. interest rates
caused the fows of money
to reverse.
The Feds decision is wel-
come as it will give some
relief to these vulnerable
economies. It also gives
them more time to prepare
for Washingtons eventual
tapering of the monetary
stimulus. The Korean gov-
ernment also welcomed the
decision, although it experi-
enced an infow, rather than
an outfow, of foreign capi-
tal in recent months.
Korea is no longer a cri-
sis-prone country. Rather,
its strong fundamentals
have earned it safe haven
status. ...
For Korea, the U.S. repre-
sents the second-largest sin-
gle export market. A slow
recovery of the U.S. market
would hamper growth of
Koreas exports.
Yet it seems to be only a
matter of time before the
Fed starts winding down
the stimulus program. It
is expected to take its frst
step within this year. Poli-
cymakers need to keep their
guard up.

Sept. 30, 1913
A 400-year-old Indian
burial mound containing
four bodies was uncov-
ered north of the canal
connecting lakes Cadillac
and Mitchell. An Ottawa
Indian named Showanska
helped with the excavation
and said the four people
discovered likely died in
battle and were members
of the extinct Yemskodash
tribe. Further excavations
were scheduled to be made
to see if other relics were
buried nearby.

Sept. 30, 1988
Wexford County commis-
sioners disagreed on how
to balance the 1989 budget,
which was projected to be
$317,000 in the red. Some
commissioners said dip-
ping into the delinquent
tax fund and asking voters
to approve a millage would
be the best course of ac-
tion. Others said taxpayers
wouldnt go for the millage
because they were already
being taxed to death.

LANSING (AP) Michigans
new era of health care begins
Tuesday, as many of its 1.1 mil-
lion uninsured residents start
deciding how best to obtain cov-
erage required under the land-
mark federal health care law.
A new online insurance mar-
ket will launch, giving lower- to
middle-income workers without
insurance the chance to buy a
private plan with the help of tax
credits.
Though Tuesday is the frst day
to sign up, there is no rush. The
deadline to be covered on day one
Jan. 1 is Dec. 15. And people
have until March 31 to sign up for
a plan on the exchange with-
out being penalized.
All told, roughly 450,000 more
residents could have insurance
in 2014, according to outside es-
timates. Within five years, the
states uninsured rate could drop
from 11 percent to 6 percent of
the population.
While most Michigan residents
still have insurance through an
employer, the recession and ris-
ing premium costs were unkind
to many employees. More than
a half-million people lost their
private insurance from 2008 to
2011, according to the Center for
Health Care Research & Trans-
formation at the University of
Michigan.
Those still with employer in-
surance are paying a lot more for
it. Businesses increased employ-
ee premiums by half in the last
decade. Deductibles more than
doubled.
The exchanges could offer
choices to people who have really
been left out or have lost afford-
able coverage, said Marianne
Udow-Phillips, the centers direc-
tor. Each individual is going to
have a different circumstance.
Tuesday not only is the start of
enrollment, it also is when the
public frst fnds out how much
coverage will cost.
Michigan will make public pre-
miums, cost sharing and designs
for roughly 140 plans offered by
13 state insurers. A resident on
average will have 43 plans to pick
from, with those in metropolitan
areas enjoying more choice and
rural residents likely seeing less.
People will pay dramatically
different premiums depending
on their income, family size, age,
hometown and tobacco use.
The Obamas administration
recent review of average premi-
ums on the Michigan exchange
was positive, showing that a fam-
ily of four with $50,000 in annual
income could get a bronze plan
for just $80 in monthly premiums
thanks to tax subsidies.
But in choosing the lowest
premium, the family would see
higher cost sharing through an-
nual deductibles and copayments.
Avalere Health studied six other
states and concluded the deduct-
ible for a mid-range silver plan
averages $2,250, more than twice
the typical deductible in employer
plans.
To review and pick from four
levels of coverage, people should
go to www.healthcare.gov begin-
ning Tuesday.
Despite the inherent complexi-
ties of medical insurance and
the inevitable glitches to come
with such a massive rollout of
new information technology, the
health laws advocates say many
people should be able to enroll
themselves. If not, navigators
and counselors will walk them
through the process.
People should go ahead and ap-
ply right away to determine where
exactly they are. Most people
dont know exactly where their
income falls, said Jan Hudson,
senior analyst with the Michigan
League for Public Policy.
The poor or near-poor earning
up to 133 percent of the poverty
line will be steered to Medicaid
in six months assuming the fed-
eral government OKs the states
Healthy Michigan Medicaid ex-
pansion plan.
Those buying their own plan
will see annual out-of-pocket ex-
penses capped at $6,350 for an indi-
vidual, $12,700 for families. Those
below 250 percent of the poverty
level will get help with out-of-pock-
et bills.
Someone who is healthy and
goes to the doctor once a year
might choose a lower premium
and pay more out of pocket.
Someone who is chronically ill
and needs multiple medicines
might want a higher premium
with fewer out-of-pocket expenses.
Udow-Phillips said the exchange
could especially help many early
retirees who are too young for
Medicare and now are uninsured
or buy expensive coverage on the
individual market. The health
law allows insurers to charge old-
er adults up to three times more
than younger ones. That is less of
a spread than in Michigan now.
The break for older people could
hurt younger residents, though,
who might decide to pay a fne in-
stead of getting insurance.
One thing unique to Michigan is
competition.
Of the 36 states in which the U.S.
government will run or support a
health marketplace, Michigan has
the highest number of partici-
pating insurers. The total num-
ber of plans is above the national
average, too.
We have a lot of competition
in this state for the first time
among insurance companies.
Thats very exciting, said Don
Hazaert, executive director of
Michigan Consumers for Health-
care, which was awarded money
to coordinate in-person assis-
tance to help people buy insur-
ance.
The umbrella group plans to
pay $25 each time an agency en-
rolls someone.
Nonprofit organizations and
low-income community health
clinics will be crucial to signing
up the uninsured because Michi-
gan lost out on $31 million in
federal money when Republican
lawmakers rejected GOP Gov.
Rick Snyders plan to run the ex-
change or at least partner with
the federal government on it.
Snyder is concerned about how
the federal launch will go and ex-
pects confusion. He pledges that
his administration will still di-
rect callers to the right resourc-
es.
One such place is Enroll
America, a coalition of health
companies and advocates that
deployed full-time organizers
and volunteers here because
Michigan is a big state with
more than 1 million uninsured
and to supplement outreach ef-
forts since state government has
a limited role. They are knock-
ing on doors, visiting churches
and calling people at home to get
the word out.
Were laser-focused on cut-
ting through the noise and giving
folks the just-the-facts informa-
tion they need and want so they
can make the best health care de-
cisions for them and their fami-
lies, spokesman Shawn Dhanak
said. Were telling people re-
gardless of their situation, their
circumstances, what their in-
come level is, everybody on Oct.
1 should visit healthcare.gov.
Thats the frst step.

Heres what you
need to know
SAN FRANCISCO (AP)
The father of a Los An-
geles Dodgers fan stabbed
to death after a San Fran-
cisco Giants game last
week asked on Sunday for
witnesses who may have
captured the chaotic me-
lee on mobile devices to
come forward.
Robert Preece, his voice
quavering at times, spoke
in front of AT&T Parks
iconic Willie Mays statue
before the Giants played
the San Diego Padres. He
was flanked by family
members who handed out
fliers to fans streaming
into the stadium.
We need your help,
one flier stated, that
can help bring forth the
truth.
The fight Wednesday
night ended with the death
of his 24-year-old son,
Jonathan Denver and the
arrest of Michael Mont-
gomery, 21.
L o s i n g
a child is a

Preece said
in his plea
for witnesses
to the fght. Montgomery
was released from jail on
Friday after the district
attorney said police have
not yet collected enough
evidence to warrant crim-
inal charges. Montgom-
erys father has told other
media outlets that his son
says Denver hit him over
the head with a chair and
he stabbed him in self-de-
fense.
Preece, who is a Los An-
geles Dodgers security
guard, was with his son
when the fght broke out.
Preece said Sunday that
he saw bystanders with
mobile devices and be-
lieves they were recording
the incident.
The Montgomery fam-
ily is likely suffering as
well, Preece said. I am
making a plea to the pub-
lic asking that anyone
who may have witnessed
the incident to come forth
so that both families can
have some measure of clo-
sure. I believe that some-
one may have videotaped
the incident so we can dis-
cover the truth.

PHOENIX (AP) From
the triple-digit tempera-
tures the day before to the
gusty winds that kicked up
in a matter of hours, nearly
every detail leading up the
June deaths of 19 Arizona
frefghters has been pains-
takingly spelled out by in-
vestigators.
Even though they say
proper procedure was fol-
lowed, the families of the
Granite Mountain Hot-
shots, Arizona Gov. Jan
Brewer and members of
Congress have wasted no
time in asking that lessons
be learned from the deaths.
The challenge now, ex-
perts say, is fguring out
how to prevent another
tragedy as the threat of
wildfre shows no sign of
diminishing in the nations
overgrown, drought-strick-
en forests and foothills. One
way, they say, is to invest in
GPS tracking technology
for frefghters.
Real-time information
on the location of crews
and the location of the fre,
if those two things had
been known, this accident
could have been prevent-
ed, said Bill Grabbert, a
retired wildland frefghter,

and author.
Astronaut Scott
Carpenter recovering
from stroke
VAIL, Colo. (AP) Astro-
naut Scott Carpenter, the
second American to orbit
Earth, is recovering from a
stroke.
Patty Carpenter tells the
Vail Daily her 88-year-old
husband had a stroke last
week and has been moved
to a rehabilitation center.
She hopes he will be up and
around in a few weeks.
Scott Carpenter, a long-
time Vail resident, is re-
membered for his radio call
Godspeed, John Glenn,
when Friendship 7 lifted off
and Glenn became the frst
American to orbit Earth on
Feb. 20, 1962. Carpenter was
Glenns backup pilot for
that fight.
Three months later, Car-
penter became the second
American in orbit.
Patty Carpenter says
Scott was Johns backup.
Now John is his backup,
adding that the two astro-
nauts talk to each other
almost every day.
Daughter: Murdered
pastor would tell his

NEW ORLEANS (AP)
The daughter of a south-
west Louisiana pastor who
was killed at a revival ser-
vice says that if her father
could talk to his killer, hed
say, I forgive you and I love
you.
Ronald Harris Sr. was
a man who
picked his fve
grandchildren
up from school
every day and
took them for
a snack, a man
who loved
to fsh and a
minister who
preached both hellfre and
Gods love, Talisha Harris
said. The 53-year-old pas-
tors favorite Bible passage
was I can do all things
through Christ.
The man accused of
shooting him on Friday in
Lake Charles was once a
member of the Tabernacle
of Praise Worship Center
but left about four years
ago, she said Sunday.
Harris said neither she,
her brother, nor her mother
knows of a possible motive.
Woodrow Karey, 53, of Lake
Charles stopped going to
church without saying why,
but didnt display any ani-
mosity, she said.
One question I do want
to ask him is why, the
31-year-old said. My dad
had a big heart. Hed help

Helicopter pilot killed
by rotor at Pa. fair
BLOOMSBURG, Pa. (AP)
A helicopter pilot is dead
after offcials say he walked
into the aircrafts spinning
rotor while giving rides at
Pennsylvanias largest fair.
Organizers say 69-year-
old Carl Enlow died after
being hit by the rotor
Friday night at the Blooms-
burg Fair.
The fairs superintendent
of police and parking says
the helicopter was refuel-
ing when Enlow went back
to speak to the pilot who
relieved him. Bill Barratt
says Enlows hat blew
off his head and he was
struck by the rotor when he
reached for it.
Barratt says Enlow was
an experience pilot had
been fown helicopters in
the military.

Police: Daughter killed
Pa. mom with shotgun
PITTSBURGH (AP) A
two-decade family feud
came to a violent end when
a man shot dead the two
home invaders that killed
his wife and son, not know-
ing the assailants included
his long-estranged daugh-
ter, authorities said Sunday.
Though the investigation
of Fridays shootings con-
tinues, authorities said it
appears Josephine and Jef-
frey Ruckinger planned to
murder her family at their
rural central Pennsylvania
home but it remains un-
clear what exactly led to the
deadly confrontation.
They parked at the bot-
tom of a long driveway, and
walked up, heavily armed,
said Cambria County Dis-
trict Attorney Kelly Cal-
lihan.
Josephine Ruckinger was
armed with a sawed-off
12-gauge shotgun and her
husband had a Derringer
pistol and a .22-caliber
semi-automatic handgun as
they approached the Frew
family home in Ashville,
about 40 miles southwest of
State College, according to
investigators.
John Frew, his wife Ro-
berta, and their son John
Jr., 47, had just returned
from dinner out, and were
watching TV in the living
room of the white mobile
home when there was a
knock at the door, authori-
ties said.
Police say Roberta, 64, an-
swered the door, and cried
out something like Oh my
God, they have guns! be-
fore her daughter shot her
at point-blank range. John
Jr. then may have attempt-
ed to arm himself with a
gun, but Jeffrey Ruckinger
shot him multiple times in
the chest, killing him, po-
lice said.

AssociAted Press
WASHINGTON OK, grid-
locked politicians were used to.
But why padlock the Statue of
Liberty?
You dont see other democra-
cies shuttering landmarks and
sending civil servants home
just because their political par-
ties cant get along. Belgian civ-
il servants, for example, carried
on nicely for a year and a half
while their politicians bickered
over forming a new govern-
ment.
The potential for a partial
shutdown Tuesday is a quirk of
American history. So if youre
bored with blaming House Re-
publicans or President Barack
Obama, you can lay some re-
sponsibility on the Founding
Fathers.
Or blame President Jimmy
Carter for his rectitude. Or ex-
House Speaker Newt Gingrich
for his hissy ft over how he got
off Air Force One.
A history of government
shutdowns, American-style:
1789: Balance of
powers.
The framers of the Constitu-
tion gave Congress control over
spending as a way to limit the
power of the presidency. The gov-
ernment can only spend money
in consequence of appropria-
tions made by law, or in other
words, after Congress says so and
with the presidents signature.
1800s: Power struggles.
Turns out its not easy to
shoo federal bureaucrats away
from the piggy bank.
When they wanted to spend
more than Congress gave, the
War Department and other
agencies ordered stuff on cred-
it. Then they would go to Con-
gress seeking an appropriation
to pay the bills. Lawmakers felt
obliged to cover the govern-
ments debts, but they werent
happy about it. The executive
branch was undermining Con-
gresss power of the purse.
Congress responded with a
series of laws that eventually
got one of those dreadful Wash-
ington monikers: the Anti-Defi-
ciency Act.
Because of the act, officials
who mistakenly spend money
Congress hasnt OKd face dis-
ciplinary action, ranging from
firing to hours stuck in mind-
numbing budget training.
There are exceptions for spend-
ing to protect lives or property.
But willful overspending is a
crime that carries the threat of
fines and two years in prison.
1900s: A delicate
balance.
The Anti-Defciency Act seems
clear. But as usual, Congress sent
mixed messages. Lawmakers
routinely failed to pass most of
each years dozen or so appropri-
ations bills on time. Sometimes
agencies went a full year with-
out a budget. Usually lawmak-
ers would smooth that over with
a short-term money approval,
called a continuing resolution
in Washington-speak.
Sometimes Congress couldnt
even agree on those: Stopgap res-
olutions got tangled up for days
or a couple of weeks in political
fghts over matters such as abor-
tion, foreign aid or congressional
pay raises. Sort of like the cur-
rent fght over health care.
But government agencies
didnt shut down and Cabinet
secretaries werent led away in
handcuffs.
Agency chiefs might delay
workers pay and put items such
as travel and new contracts on
hold. But they assumed Congress
didnt want them to turn off the
lights and go home. Eventually
lawmakers would cough up a
spending bill to retroactively pa-
per over the funding gap.
1980: An inconvenient truth.
This look-the-other-way sys-
tem worked for decades. Until the
Carter administration.
A stickler for the rules, Carter
asked his attorney general to
look into the Anti-Defciency Act.
In April 1980, Attorney General
Benjamin Civiletti issued a star-
tling opinion. The legal authori-
ty for continued operations either
exists or it does not, he wrote.
When it does not, government
must send employees home. They
cant work for free or with the ex-
pectation that they will be paid
someday.
Whats more, Civiletti declared,
any agency chief who broke that
law would be prosecuted.
Five days later, funding for
the Federal Trade Commission
expired amid a congressional
disagreement over limiting the
agencys powers. The FTC halted
operations, canceled court dates
and meetings, and sent 1,600 work-
ers packing, apparently the frst
agency ever closed by a budget
dispute.
Embarrassed lawmakers made
a quick fx. The FTC reopened the
next day. The estimated cost of the
brouhaha: $700,000.
Carter, a Democratic president
forever stymied by his own party
in Congress, ordered the whole
government to be ready to shut
down when the budget year ended
on Oct. 1, 1980, in case lawmakers
missed their deadline for appro-
priations bills.
A report by whats now the Gov-
ernment Accountability Office
captured federal offcials dismay:
That the federal government
would shut its doors was, they
said, incomprehensible, incon-
ceivable, unthinkable.
It almost happened. Funding for
many agencies did expire, but just
for a few hours, and nobody was
sent home.
Near the end of his term, Civi-
letti further clarified the laws
meaning. In a government-wide
shutdown, the military, air traf-
fic control, prisons and other
work that protects human safety
or property would continue. So
would things such as Social Secu-
rity benefts, which Congress has
fnanced indefnitely.
1981-1990: Playing chicken.
With the threat of shutdown
as a weapon, budget fghts would
never be the same, and a big one
was brewing.
Republican Ronald Reagan
moved into the White House in
January 1981 with a promise to
cut taxes and shrink government,
setting up a showdown with Dem-
ocrats who ran the House.
High noon came early on Mon-
day, Nov. 23, 1981.
The government had techni-
cally been without money all
weekend, but Congress approved
emergency spending to keep it
running. That morning, Reagan
wielded his frst veto. He was mak-
ing a stand against budget-bust-
ing policies, the president de-
clared, sending confused federal
workers streaming out of offces
in Washington and across the na-
tion.
It was the first government
shutdown. But it lasted only
hours. By that afternoon, Con-
gress approved a three-week
spending extension more to Rea-
gans liking. Workers returned
Tuesday morning. The estimated
cost: more than $80 million.
The pattern was set. Over his
two terms, Reagan and congres-
sional Democrats would regu-
larly argue to the brink of shut-
down, and twice more they sent
workers home for a half-day.
President George H.W. Bush
used the tactic only once, during
the budget wrangling that punc-
tured his no new taxes pledge.
That partial shutdown over
the 1990 Columbus Day weekend
mostly served to miff tourists
who found national park visitor
centers locked and Smithsonian
museums closed.
Shutdown threats were becom-
ing ho-hum, just more Washing-
ton games. After all, what poli-
tician would relish a full body
plunge into the unthinkable?
1995-96: The real thing.
Cue President Bill Clinton and
Gingrich.
Two big men with big ideas and
big-time egos, the Democratic
president and the Republican
House speaker charged into a
cage match and ended up wres-
tling the U.S. government to the
ground. Twice.
These two shutdowns, for six
days and 21 days, were the lon-
gest ever. Until now they were as-
sumed to have taught politicians
the folly of ever again powering
down the worlds most powerful
government. Maybe not.
Serious issues were at stake in
1995 the future of Medicare, tax
cuts, aid for the poor, the budget
defcit. But they got lost in the ab-
surdities:
The shutdowns didnt save
money; they cost millions.
Despite all the buildup, most
of government didnt close, be-
cause of complexities of the fed-
eral budget and exemptions for
essential workers.
Still, the frst shutdown re-
sulted in 800,000 workers eventu-
ally getting paid for staying home.
Despite public disgust, Clin-
ton and the Republicans failed to
settle all their disputes and soon
idled 280,000 employees for anoth-
er three weeks, through Christ-
mas and into the New Year.
The effects rippled through
the economy, harming federal
contractors and businesses that
serve visitors to national parks
and industries that must work
with federal inspectors.
The tone of the whole exer-
cise was set when a huffy Gin-
grich suggested he had steered
the government to a standstill
because Clinton relegated him to
the back door of Air Force One
on an overseas trip. The public
tantrum delighted Democrats and
cartoonists alike.
The president was judged to
have won the tussle. Republi-
cans took a drubbing in the polls
and ended up accepting most of
Clintons conditions in a compro-
mise that seemed more like cry-
ing uncle.
But faith in government may
have been the biggest loser.
A footnote: On the January
day that missing workers were
scheduled to finally return to
their posts, the Northeast was
just starting to dig out from an
extreme blizzard.
After weeks of insisting it was
vital to get government back to
work quickly, Clinton decided to
keep Washington closed another
four days.

World News
Israels Netanyahu
warns White House
about Iran
JERUSALEM (AP)
Mortifed that the world
may be warming up to
Iran, Israeli Prime Minis-
ter Benjamin Netanyahu
is taking an unpopular
message to the White
House and the United Na-
tions this week: Dont be
fooled by Tehrans new
leadership.
Netanyahu contends
Iran is using conciliatory
gestures as a smoke screen
to conceal an unabated
march toward a nuclear
bomb.
He will deliver those
strong words of caution
and fresh intelligence
in an attempt to per-
suade the U.S. to maintain
tough economic sanctions
and not allow the Islamic
republic to develop a bomb
or even move closer to be-
coming a nuclear thresh-
old state.
With the White House
cautiously optimistic
about its dialogue with
Iran, Mondays meeting
between Netanyahu and
President Barack Obama
could be tense.
I will tell the truth
in the face of the sweet
talk and the onslaught of
smiles, Netanyahu said
before boarding his fight
to the U.S. on Sunday.
Telling the truth today is
vital for the security and
peace of the world and, of
course, it is vital for the
security of the state of
Israel.
Israeli leaders watched
with great dismay what
they derisively call the
smiley campaign by
Irans new president,
Hassan Rouhani, last
week. Rouhani delivered
a conciliatory speech at
the United Nations in
which he repeated Irans
offcial position that it
has no intention of build-
ing a nuclear weapon and
declared his readiness for
new negotiations with the
West.
Jackson still hopeful
for captive US mans
release
HAVANA (AP) The
Rev. Jesse Jackson says he
intends to press forward in
a bid to mediate the release
of a U.S. Army veteran tak-
en captive by Colombian
rebels three months ago.
Jackson says he still
plans to travel to the South
American nation in the
coming days despite Co-
lombian President Juan
Manuel Santos initial cool
response to his interven-
tion.
Jackson says he hopes to
negotiate a cease-fre for
an area of the Colombian
jungle so Kevin Scott Sutay
can be picked up safely.
Sutay was detained by
the Revolutionary Armed
Forces of Colombia,
or FARC, while hiking
through the jungle in June.
Jackson spoke to report-
ers Sunday in Havana after
meeting with representa-
tives of the FARC.
Fugitive Greek
lawmaker turns himself
into authorities
ATHENS, Greece (AP)
A Greek lawmaker
sought by police surren-
dered on Sunday, bring-
ing to six the number of
legislators from the ex-
treme-right Golden Dawn
party now in custody and
facing criminal charges.
Christos Pappas a
lawmaker described by
prosecutors as the Gold-
en Dawns No. 2 official
was formally charged
with membership in a
criminal organization
with intent to commit
crimes, like his five fel-
low legislators, includ-
ing Golden Dawn leader
Nikos Michaloliakos.
The government crack-
down on the fiercely anti-
immigrant party marks
the first time since 1974
that sitting members of
a Greek Parliament have
been arrested. The ar-
rests underline the gov-
ernments efforts to stifle
Golden Dawn, which has
been increasingly on the
defensive since the Sept.
17 fatal stabbing of a
Greek man blamed on a
Golden Dawn supporter.
As he turned himself
in at police headquarters
in Athens, Pappas con-
demned the crackdown
on his party and the pain-
ful austerity measures
that have been imposed
during the bailout of
Greeces battered econ-
omy.
Church collapses in
Mexico, kills boy
MONTERREY, Mexico
(AP) A mayor in north-
ern Mexico says heavy
rains caused a half-built
church in a suburb of
Monterrey to collapse
during Mass, killing a
10-year-old boy and injur-
ing 24 church goers.
Juarez Mayor Rodolfo
Ambriz says the injured
were taken to local hos-
pitals where the severity
of the wounds is still un-
clear. The boy died on his
way to the hospital.
The Roman Catholic
Church of Santa Clara
de Asis was under con-
struction and a tarp had
been put up as a roof.
Authorities say a cold
front brought heavy rains
to the northern state of
Nuevo Leon that appar-
ently brought down the
tarp Sunday morning and
the concrete structure
with it.

The associaTed press
DETROIT Reggie Bush
was worried about how his
banged-up left knee would
hold up in his return.
As it turned out, the Chi-
cago Bears had plenty of
concerns about the speedy,
dual-threat running back
they couldnt slow down.
Bushs
37-yard
touchdown
run helped
Detroit
score 27
points in
the second
quarter
and he ac-
counted for
173 yards of
offense to help the Lions beat
Chicago 40-32 Sunday.
I was a little nervous, Bush
said of his knee after missing a
game with the injury.
Detroit (3-1) moved into a
frst-place tie with Chicago
(3-1) in the NFC North.
Bush had a season-high 139
yards rushing and a score
on 18 carries, mostly up the
middle as he took advantage
of running lanes created
against a line without defen-
sive tackle Henry Melton.
We felt like we could domi-
nate the line of scrimmage
in this game, especially after
they lost a key player to in-
jury, he said.
The Lions scored 24
straight points, including
three TDs in a span of 3 min-
utes, 26 seconds, after Matt
Fortes 53-yard TD run gave
the Bears 10-6 lead early in
the second quarter.
Detroit led 40-16 early in
the fourth quarter and ended
up needing that cushion.
Jay Cutler, who had four
turnovers, threw a pair
of touchdown passes and
2-point conversions in the f-
nal 4 minutes to pull Chicago
within eight points. Lions
receiver Kris Durham recov-
ered the onside kick to seal
the win.
There are no moral victo-
ries, but I thought our guys
played tough for the last 30
minutes of that game, Chica-
go coach Mark Trestman said.
Detroit had a big lead to
work with thanks to positive
plays it got from each facet of
the game.
Micheal Spurlocks 57-yard
punt return set up Matthew
Staffords go-ahead TD with
6:09 left in the frst half, when
he recovered his own fumble
on a 1-yard sneak.
Stafford threw a 2-yard TD
to Calvin Johnson on the
Lions next possession, one
play after safety Glover Quin
returned Cutlers second in-
terception for 42 yards.
This wasnt a one-man
victory, Stafford said.
Bush, though, just as he
did in his Detroit debut in a
Week 1 win over Minnesota,
was the star of the day.
He burst through a huge
hole and hurdled safety Major
Wright to give the Lions a 30-
10 lead, their highest scoring
frst half in franchise history
against Chicago, showing
they didnt miss Nate Burle-
son very much. Burleson, the
teams No. 2 receiver, broke his
left arm in a one-car accident
last Tuesday.
Stafford completed 23 of 35
passes for 242 yards with a
TD, an interception and a lost
fumble.
Cutler hurt the Bears op-
portunity to come back late
in the third quarter when an
up-for-grabs pass was picked
off by safety Louis Delmas,
who had two interceptions
for the frst time in his fve-
year career.
Stafford, though, turned
the ball over again to give
Chicago a chance briefy.
His low pass intended for
Johnson inside the Bears 10
was kicked up in the air and
intercepted by Wright.
Three snaps later, Ndamu-
kong Suh sacked Cutler for
a second time and forced a
fumble that fellow defensive
tackle Nick Fairley recovered
and returned 4 yards for a
score that put Detroit up 37-
16 late in the third.
Cutler entered the game
with a 7-1 record with the
Bears against the Lions in
large part because he had
thrown only one interception.
He tripled that total in
one afternoon, fumbled for
a fourth turnover and was
sacked three times after be-
ing taken down that many
times combined in three
games this season.
Any quarterback, you hit
him enough times, Im sure
theyll get rattled, Fairley
said. I think we hit him
enough times to rattle him,
but he didnt show it.

Miami Marlins' Henderson Alvarez celebrates after striking out
Detroit Tigers' Matt Tuiasosopo for the last out of the ninth inning
of a game on Sunday in Miami. Alvarez got a no-hitter as the
Marlins won 1-0.
Tigers no-hit by Marlins Alvarez
By STEVEN WINE
The associaTed press
MIAMI The Detroit Tigers are
saving their hits for the playoffs.
With their postseason slot already
decided as AL Central champions, the
Tigers watched the other team do all
the celebrating Sunday, when Hender-
son Alvarez pitched a no-hitter and
the Miami Marlins scored in the bot-
tom of the ninth to win 1-0.
The only run scored when Luke Put-
konen threw a wild pitch with two out
and the bases loaded in the ninth. The
Marlins mobbed Alvarez, who had
been standing in the on-deck circle
because he was due to bat next.
The Tigers played with a patchwork
lineup but didn't begrudge Alvarez or
the Marlins for celebrating.
"It was exciting for them and it was
very special for him, so you have to be
happy for that, no matter what side
you're on," Tigers infelder Hernan
Perez said. "Any time a guy gets a no-
hitter there should be a big celebra-
tion, and it's great for the Marlins to
end the season that way."
The no-hitter was the frst for the
Marlins since Anibal
Sanchez now with
the Tigers threw
one in 2006 against
Arizona. Sanchez
watched from the vis-
itors' dugout as fellow
Venezuelan Alvarez
celebrated the feat.
"It was great to be
a part of such an
exciting moment for
this guy," Sanchez
said. "He threw a great game, and I'm
really excited he did that."
Detroit's Justin Verlander struck
out 10 in six scoreless innings in his f-
nal tuneup for the playoffs. The Tigers
right-hander allowed only three hits
but three more than Alvarez.
"He threw a heck of a ballgame,"
Verlander said. "To do something like
that is pretty impressive."
With the Tigers' playoff slot settled,
they rested four starters and had
pulled three others by the seventh in-
ning. Miguel Cabrera, who won his
third consecutive batting title, never
stepped to the plate.
The Tigers will start a division se-
ries at Oakland on Friday. Prior to the
game, Tigers manager Jim Leyland
acknowledged he and his players were
already thinking ahead.
"I want to play this game, I want to
win this game, but I want to get this
over with and get home," Leyland
said. "Guys are anxious. They want to
get to the postseason."
Alvarez made the Tigers' eagerness
work to his advantage.
"He had a lot of movement, and he
fed off the fact they were swinging
aggressively," Marlins manager Mike
Redmond said.
Alvarez (5-6) struck out four, walked
one and hit a batter. When he closed
out the top of the ninth, he pumped
one fst and then both, thinking the
game was over.
He remained confused until he got
to the dugout and a teammate ex-
plained the situation to him.
"With the emotion and nerves, I
didn't realize we hadn't scored a run
yet," a sheepish Alvarez said through
a translator. "
At the time I thought the game was
1-0. I threw my hands up and thought
the game was over."

Tied up
after 162
games
By BEN WALKER
ap baseball wriTer
The Tampa Bay Rays and
Texas Rangers are pushing
this regular season to game
No. 163.
On a Sunday punctuated
by Miami's Henderson Al-
varez pitching a no-hitter,
Tampa Bay and Texas both
won and wound up even,
forcing a tiebreaker for the
second AL wild-card spot.
The Rays will play at
Texas tonight, with the win-
ner visiting Cleveland on
Wednesday night in anoth-
er all-or-nothing matchup.
Rangers rookie Martin
Perez starts against reign-
ing AL Cy Young winner
David Price. Texas gets a
boost, too All-Star slug-
ger Nelson Cruz will be
active after his 50-game
penalty from Major League
Baseball in the Biogenesis
drug scandal.
"He's served his suspen-
sion," Rays star Evan Long-
oria said. "It is what it is.
Justice has been served."
Asked if he expected to
play, Cruz said: "I think so."
It will be baseball's frst
tiebreaker offcially, this
is a regular-season game
and the stats count since
Minnesota beat Detroit 6-5
in 12 innings for the 2009 AL
Central title.
What was supposed to be
the fnal day of the regular
season began with the pos-
sibility of a three-way tie
for a pair of AL wild-card
spots.
Instead, Cleveland
clinched its frst postseason
berth since 2007, winning
5-1 at Minnesota to fnish at
92-70 and one game ahead
of Texas and Tampa Bay as
the top wild card.
Nick Swisher homered
as the Indians became the
frst big league team to win
their fnal 10 regular-season
games since Baltimore
closed with 11 straight vic-
tories in 1971, STATS said.
"I'm telling you, we're
bringing that wild-card
game back to the 216 and
that place is going to be
packed out and rockin',
baby!" Swisher said, citing
Cleveland's area code.
Rookie Danny Salazar is
set to start for the Indians
against either Texas or
Tampa Bay.
The NL playoff scene is
settled. Johnny Cueto starts
for Cincinnati against
Francisco Liriano and the
Pirates at Pittsburgh on
Tuesday night in the NL
wild-card playoff.

Is Michigan stronger
on offense or defense?
by mark snyder
mcclatchy-tribune news service
Every Sunday, Big Ten
Network analyst Gerry Di-
Nardo throws out his ru-
minations on Twitter.
He offers at least one for
each Big Ten team that
played Saturday.
And, in less than 140
characters a week ago, he
wrapped up Michigans
messy frst four games
with an uncommonly suc-
cinct question.
Hard to tell what the
strength of Michigans
team is and that may be
the toughest problem to
solve during the season
The most maddening
assessment of the Wol-
verines may be the most
intriguing as well.
The case for ...
THE OFFENSE: Step
back from the horror of
seven turnovers in the past
two games, spitting from
Devin Gardners hands
and see what happened
even with that albatross.
The stunningly easy 59
points
against
Central
Michigan,
with 242
rushing
yards
and eight
touch-
downs in
the frst 10
possessions.
Or the 41 points against
Notre Dame, more than
all but one Irish opponent
from 2012.
The 294 passing yards,
460 total highlighted by
Jeremy Gallons career
high of 184 yards and three
touchdowns.
Only two games?
Maybe youve fxated on
the four turnovers against
Akron, overlooking the 425
yards and 28 points.
Maybe after Connecticut
its a tougher case to make,
until you consider three
second-half scoring drives
and 192 rushing yards,
showing comeback ability.
Can a unit be strong even
it self-implodes with turn-
overs? Strong yes, elite no.
Yet Gardner is also what
makes it great.
Theres little surround-
ing him: A solid running
but not dominant tailback,
an ineffcient offense line
and inconsistent receivers.
Yet, because of Gardner,
the Wolverines are still
37th nationally in scoring.
THE DEFENSE:
Couldnt the defense make
a case?
The front seven has been
solid, allowing only 79
rushing yards per game,
eighth nationally.
The back end has a
knack for timing, grabbing
seven turnovers (six inter-
ceptions, a few in the end
zone and most at critical
moments.)
Does it need superstars
to be a strength?
Not if theres balance.
Eight defenders have had
a hand in a sack and four
have interceptions.
Twice the Michigan de-
fense had four-sack games
and now is trending up,
with a second-half shut-
out at Connecticut, plus
showing resiliency with a
goal-line stand to win the
Akron game.
Critics will fairly cite
two games with virtually
no pass rush and the late-
game secondary break-
downs against Akron,
watching four passes of
24 yards or more sail over
their heads.
But that ignores the con-
stant pressure situations
from their own offense,
pinching them with short
felds or sending them
back out minutes after
walking off.
Defensive coordinator
Greg Mattison would an-
swer thats their job.
But with only three
starting seniors, they may
be still learning how to do
it.
With the nations No.
27-ranked defense, its not
a bad start.
With so many fearing the
problems after two weeks
of close wins, its worth ex-
amining the other side.
Four games in, with four
wins, Michigan has shown
strengths that hint at high-
end potential.
Maybe the level is never
reached and this slides
into an 8-4 growth season,
disappointment for such
high standards.
Or maybe the back-load-
ed schedule lets an inexpe-
rienced team stretch itself,
learning on the fy.
The strengths have put
on a show.
They just need consis-
tency to hold open the
curtain.

Offense still a problem, but Michigan State is improving
by joe rexrode
mcclatchy-tribune news service
EAST LANSING Be-
fore he sent them off for a
brief getaway, Mark Danto-
nio encouraged his players
to take the chance to sort
of separate yourself just a
little bit from football.
You can never get com-
pletely away from it, but
you just allow yourself a
little bit of a deep breath
before you go under, Dan-
tonio said before one of
two Michigan State prac-
tices last week. When you
go under in the Big Ten,
youve got to take a deep
breath youre gonna
dive under the water pretty
deep. Its an opportunity
for us to do that, all of us.
Players and coaches be-
came submerged Sunday,
the start of game prepara-
tion week. Fans jump back
in Saturday, when MSU (3-
1) travels to Iowa for a Big
Ten opener that I believe
will set the course for the
rest of the season.
A week after a 17-13 loss
at Notre Dame that looked
suspiciously like a lot of
last seasons six defeats,
it should
be easier
for MSU
followers
to believe
2013 wont
be a re-
peat, for
two rea-
sons the
Spartans
actually improved quite a
bit in the frst four weeks,
and their division looks
weak.
Those two bits of per-
spective were lost in the
mistakes and controversy
of the Notre Dame loss.
The trick play gone bad.
The pass-interference
calls on MSU. The late,
failed switch from starting
quarterback Connor Cook
to Andrew Maxwell. And
Cooks open disappoint-
ment afterward.
MSUs offense remains a
problem, its offensive staff
a group under scrutiny.
But the offense the Spar-
tans put on the feld in the
frst two games would not
have budged against Notre
Dame.
The offensive line and
running backs are coming
along. Cook is cemented
as the starter and, though
he has accuracy issues, he
acknowledges them and is
working on them. When his
footwork is right, he throws
a good ball with touch.
MSU has found some an-
swers perhaps standouts
some day at tight end
in Jamal Lyles and Josiah
Price.
The receivers are still
the biggest concern. The
defense might be the best
Dantonio has felded. And
the division is wide open.
Northwestern has looked
at times like the best team,
but the Wildcats start their
Big Ten season with Ohio
State and Wisconsin. None
of the other contenders
have to deal with both.
The word defense
carries the same dread in
Nebraska as offense does
in East Lansing. And even
without all the turnovers,
Michigan looks fawed on
both sides of the ball.
Legends Division after-
thoughts Iowa and Minne-
sota, which started league
play against each other
Saturday, should prob-
ably feel like they have a
chance. And that brings
us back to the largeness of
MSUs opener.
The frst four games have
been building to this, to
an Iowa team that will cer-
tainly play defense and put
up a fght at home. Then
its the Big Tens Larry,
Moe and Curly Indiana,
Purdue and Illinois be-
fore U-M visits Spartan
Stadium on Nov. 2.
The Spartans will have to
pass the ball successfully
in key spots to make a run.
The trip here has been
more turbulent than MSU
and its fans would have
liked, but a 3-1 team with
an elite defense and ques-
tionable offense is about
what most would have
picked, right?
So take a deep breath.
And get ready for a bunch
of close games.

Central Michigan routed
by NC State, 48-14
by joedy mccreary
the associated press
RALEIGH, N.C. Cen-
tral Michigan couldn't keep
North Carolina State's pow-
erful defensive line away
from the ball.
Not surprisingly, the
Chippewas' offense couldn't
get anything going until it
was far too late.
N.C. State routed Central
Michigan 48-14 on Saturday
after holding the Chippe-
was scoreless through three
quarters and limiting them
to 94 yards rushing.
"We won't see a defense or
defensive line like that in
the" Mid-American Confer-
ence, receiver Titus Davis
said.
"They're big, they're fast
and made things diffcult
for us all day. But this will
only help us."
Cooper Rush threw a
three-yard touchdown pass
to Davis on the frst play of
the fourth quarter for the
Chippewas (1-4), but also was
intercepted three times.
Maurice Shoemaker-
Gilmore added a 38-yard
touchdown run for Central
Michigan the only MAC
team to beat new N.C. State
coach Dave Doeren during
his successful two-year run
at Northern Illinois.
But the Chippewas didn't
advance further than the
N.C. State 21 during the
decisive frst half. The Wolf-
pack fnished by outrushing
Central Michigan 239-94
and holding a 483-259 advan-
tage in total yardage.
"Our lines and tight ends
were getting beat, and our
running backs couldn't do
anything," coach Dan Enos
said. "When you get penetra-
tion like they did, your run-
ning backs are in trouble."
Shadrach Thornton
and freshman Matt Dayes
each had long scoring runs
during a 28-point second
quarter.
"When you get your spot
back, man, it means a lot
more to you and you take
nothing for granted," said
Thornton, N.C. State's lead-
ing rusher last year who
made his frst start this sea-
son. "You run every down as
if it's your last, because you
never know."
Thornton fnished with 71
yards, and his 29-yard scor-
ing run came shortly before
Dayes' 42-yard TD for N.C.
State which scored touch-
downs on offense, defense
and special teams.
"It's fun to be in a game"
like that, Doeren said.
D.J. Green returned an
interception 37 yards for
the frst score and Rashard
Smith brought a punt back
67 yards for a TD to help
N.C. State (3-1) build a 35-0
halftime lead.
"It's tough to come back
from that against a good
football team like N.C.
State," Enos said.
Pete Thomas was 14 of
20 for 244 yards with a late
80-yard touchdown pass to
Bryan Underwood his
frst TD pass since transfer-
ring in from Colorado State.
Thomas also capped the
Wolfpack's big second quarter
by running 8 yards for a score.
Thornton's scoring burst
up the middle with 11:08
left in the half started N.C.
State's big second quarter
and put the Wolfpack up 14-0.
Dayes then capped the
Wolfpack's next drive with
his long scoring run and
at that point, they out-
rushed the Chippewas 174-3.
Those inside runs came
as a result of the chess
match between the two
coaches: Central Michigan
adjusted to the jet sweeps
run early by the N.C. State
receivers, so the Wolfpack
counterpunched by pound-
ing it between the tackles.
"I knew the inside run
game would be good be-
cause of that," Doeren said.
"We're just a couple strains
away from popping some of
these plays."
The Wolfpack's other
touchdown in the return
game came on Central
Michigan's frst possession
after Dayes' touchdown.
Smith felded Richie Ho-
gan's punt at his own 33 and
broke frst toward the right
sideline, then back across
the feld for the touchdown.
That gave the Wolfpack
TDs in all three phases in
the same game for the frst
time since a victory over
Liberty in 2011, according
to STATS.

falling to Roscommon 25-19, 25-20
in the semifnals.
We got off to a slow start but
picked up our intensity as the
day went on, Pine River coach
Jana Dennis said. We played
great against Reed City and that
gave us the confdence going into
the Roscommon match.
During that match, we had
some unforced errors that
seemed to defate us. We kept
fghting but just couldnt get
things rolling.
Kassy Nelson paced Pine River
with 23 kills and 40 digs while
Michelle Kelsey had 18 kills and
29 digs. Paige Esiline had nine

play before falling to Pine River
in the quarterfnals.
It was kind of an up-and-
down day for us, even within

Patterson said. We played well
at times, and then just seemed to
lose focus.
Michaela Reed had 15 kills
and three blocks while Alison
Schermerhorn had two aces. Ja-

Tigers Cabrera wins 3rd straight AL batting title
the associated press
NEW YORK Miguel Cabrera
became the frst player in more
than two decades to win three
straight AL batting titles, and
Michael Cuddyer brought the NL
crown to mile-high Coors Field
for the eighth time in 21 years.
Cabrera fell short of his 2012
season, when the Detroit third
baseman became baseball's
frst Triple Crown winner since
Boston's Carl Yastrzemski in
1967. Cabrera hit a career-high
.348 and fnished well ahead of
Minnesota's Joe Mauer, who was
second at .324.
"I still had a good season," he
said. "I have the same numbers
I had last year, and we won the
division."
Cabrera's 44 home runs were
second to the 53 by Baltimore's
Chris Davis, and he fnished sec-
ond in RBIs, one behind Davis'
138. Cabrera batted .330 last year
with 44 homers and 139 RBIs.
Cabrera is the frst right-hand-
ed batter in either league to win
three straight batting titles since
Rogers Hornsby's six straight
for the St. Louis Cardinals from
1920-25. Cabrera became just
the ffth player to win three con-
secutive AL crowns, joining Nap
Lajoie (1901-03), Ty Cobb (1907-09,
1911-15 and 1917-19), Rod Carew
(1972-75) and Wade Boggs (1985-
88).
Cuddyer also outdistanced
the rest of his league with a .331
average, 10 points ahead of At-
lanta's Chris Johnson. Cuddyer
had never hit higher than .284.

Vikings beat Steelers 34-27 in London
LONDON (AP) Greg Jennings made two
touchdown catches, Adrian Peterson ran for
two scores and the Vikings defense made a
big stop with time running out to preserve a
34-27 win over the Steelers on Sunday for their
frst win of the season.
Playing at Wembley Stadium, Everson
Griffen stripped Ben Roethlisberger on the
6-yard line with 19 seconds left. Kevin Wil-
liams recovered to seal the victory.
Jennings made a 70-yard catch-and-run for
a touchdown and Peterson had a 60-yard score
to help offset two scores by Pittsburgh rookie
running back LeVeon Bell and give Min-
nesota (1-3) some hope of turning its season
around.
The Steelers fell to 0-4 for the frst time since
1968.
Vikings quarterback Matt Cassel, starting
in place of injured Christian Ponder, fnished
16 of 25 for 248 yards and two touchdowns.
Roethlisberger was 36 for 51 for 383 yards,
with one touchdown and one interception.
Chiefs remain unbeaten, drop Giants to 0-4
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) Alex Smith
threw three touchdown passes, Dexter Mc-
Cluster returned a punt 89 yards for another
score and the unbeaten Kansas City Chiefs
plunged the New York Giants to 0-4 with a 24-7
victory.
Smith hit touchdown passes of 4, 2 and 35
yards for the Chiefs (4-0), who under Andy
Reid have already doubled their victory total
of 2012. They are the second team to go from a
two-win season to 4-0 the next year.
The Giants, who trailed only 17-7 after three
quarters, are 0-4 for the frst time since 1987.
Eli Manning connected with Victor Cruz
on a 69-yard scoring play for New Yorks
only score. The Kansas City defense sacked
Manning three times. Smith was intercepted
twice, the frst giveaways by the Chiefs, who
also lost a fumble.
Hoyer guides Browns past Bengals 17-6
CLEVELAND (AP) Brian Hoyer, the local
kid who always dreamed of being Clevelands
quarterback, threw two touchdown passes in
his frst start at home to lead the Browns to a
17-6 win over the Cincinnati Bengals.
Hoyers 1-yard TD pass to Chris Ogbonnaya
with 4:54 left gave the Browns (2-2) an 11-point
lead and Cleveland turned it over to its vastly
improved defense.
In his second start in place of injured Bran-
don Weeden, Hoyer fnished 25 of 38 for 269
yards. He threw a 2-yard TD pass in the frst
half to Jordan Cameron, who had 10 catches
for 91 yards.
The Bengals (2-2) couldnt get anything
going on offense and Andy Dalton was inter-
cepted by Buster Skrine with 3:43 left, ending
any chance of a comeback.
Cleveland limited the Bengals to 63 rushing
yards and cornerback Joe Haden contained
wide receiver A.J. Green.
Manning leads Broncos rout of Eagles
DENVER (AP) The Denver Broncos
scored more points than they ever had in
their 54-year history, blowing out the Philadel-
phia Eagles 52-20 behind Peyton Mannings
four touchdown throws.
With two TD passes each to Demaryius
Thomas and Wes Welker, Manning completed
all but a half-dozen of his 34 throws for 327
yards. He didnt even step on the feld in the
fourth quarter.
Mannings 16 TD passes are the most in the
frst month of a season, besting the previous
mark of 14 set by Don Meredith in 1966 and
tied by Kurt Warner in 1999. Manning also
joined Milt Plum in 1960 as the only quarter-
backs to throw that many touchdown passes
without an interception.
Manning got off to a rather slow start but
drove the Broncos (4-0) on a trio of long touch-
down drives in the third quarter to make this
one another laugher against the Eagles (1-3).
Rivers 401 yards, 3 TDs lead Chargers
over Boys
SAN DIEGO (AP) Philip Rivers threw for
401 yards and three touchdowns, including a
56-yarder to Antonio Gates, and the San Diego
Chargers rallied to beat the Dallas Cowboys
30-21 Sunday.
The Chargers (2-2) had blown late leads in
their two losses this season. On Sunday, they
scored the fnal 20 points to beat Dallas (2-2).

Its every gardeners
secret September shame:
Those zucchini plants
youve been nursing along
all summer suddenly have
gone ballistic. Maybe you
went away on vacation for
a week. Maybe you merely
turned your head for a mo-
ment. But what once was
a promising little squash
fngerling suddenly seems
as big as your arm.
The conventional wis-
dom is that the only use
for zucchini this big is
compost, preferably added
in the dead of night so that
none of your neighbors
can see what youve done.
As usual, the convention-
al wisdom is wrong. Just
stuff them.
Although these big
zucchini may no longer
be good for cooking by
themselves (the marrow
is too watery), with a little
preparation they make
ideal cases for all kinds of
fllings. And there are few
things more fexible and
more delicious than baked
stuffed squash.
Stuff them with whatev-
er you have on hand. Bake
them with a sauce or not.
Serve them hot or at room
temperature. Just take
a minimum of care and
theyre going to be good.
Stuffed zucchini is kitchen
economy at its best: Noth-
ing goes to waste, and a
little bit of this and that
only makes it better.
The best zucchini for
stuffng are those just on
the cusp of monster-dom:
to 1 pound. Cut them in
half lengthwise. A melon
baller is the best tool for
hollowing out the center.
Start with the biggest
spoon, and scoop out little
balls just as you would for
a honeydew salad. Then
switch to the smaller spoon
and smooth out the sides.
Youll end up with some-
thing that looks kind of
like a canoe. Dont trim too
much or the squash will
collapse during baking.
Leave about inch along
the sides and a little more
than that along the bottom.
If youve got really big
zucchini, cut them into
roughly 3-inch sections
and then hollow them into
cups. If for some reason
youve decided youre go-
ing to stuff smaller zucchi-
ni (petits farcis, anyone?),
just shave a bit along one
side and use that as the
starting point.
Dont throw out the
cores. Dry them out by
chopping them coarsely,
then sauteing them until
they cook down and lose
their moisture. Thats the
base for the flling. You can
add bits of whatever you
have on hand for favor-
ing: ground lamb, Italian
sausage, sauteed peppers,
cooked rice or grains,
cheese, herbs stuffed
zucchini is almost end-
lessly adaptable.
Bind the mixture with
beaten eggs if youd like.
Or not. If you do, youll
probably want to add extra
grated cheese and some
fresh bread crumbs to ab-
sorb any extra moisture.
Some cooks prefer to
stuff the zucchini raw and
cook everything through
during the baking. I like
the texture and favor a lit-
tle better when I steam the
zucchini until its almost
done, then stuff and bake
for a briefer time.
Whichever way you go,
youll want a little mois-
ture in the baking dish, if
only to prevent the zucchi-
ni bottom from scorching.
A tomato sauce is always
a good idea, preferably
one spiked with capers or
olives or something else to
give it a little pop. Or you
can go with a simple light
broth or even water.
As far as serving goes,
you can pretty much play
that as you like as well
(are you sensing a theme
here?). Stuffed zucchini is
superb straight out of the
oven, but its just as good
lukewarm. Bake them in
advance and refrigerate,
then just let them come to
room temperature before
serving.
Stuffed vegetables are
easy that way. In fact, prob-
ably the sagest advice of
all comes from the great
Richard Olney, who wrote
in Simple French Food:
Recipes for stuffed veg-
etables should not be taken
too seriously at least in-
sofar as the ingredients for
the fllings are concerned;
vegetables may be stuffed
with practically anything,
and, if a bit of common
sense is brought to the
composition, they cannot
help being good.
ZUCCHINI STUFFED WITH
FARRO, RED PEPPER
AND FETA
1 hours. 4 to 6 servings
cup farro
Salt
Olive oil
3 large zucchini (about
pound each)
Salt
1 onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, cored,
seeded and diced
cup chopped basil, plus
more for topping
pound mushrooms, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
teaspoon red pepper fakes
cup white wine
cup pine nuts
cup crumbled feta, plus
more for topping
1 cup water
1. Cook farro in plenty
of rapidly boiling salted
water until tender, about
30 minutes. Drain and
cool.
2. Heat the oven to 400
degrees. Grease a 5-quart
gratin dish with olive oil.
3. Cut the zucchini in
half lengthwise and use
a melon baller or ser-
rated spoon to remove the
insides of the zucchini
to make what looks like
a canoe. If using a melon
baller, use the large scoop
to remove most of the
pulp in balls and then the
small scoop to smooth the
sides. Leave about one-
quarter inch of the fesh
at the sides and a little
more at the bottom. Col-
lect the pulp on a cutting
board and chop coarsely.
4. Season the inside of
the zucchini boats lightly
with salt and steam over
rapidly boiling water
until almost tender, about
5 minutes.
5. Heat 2 tablespoons
olive oil in a large skillet
and add the onion. Cook
until it softens, about 5
minutes. Add the red bell
pepper and cook until
soft, about 5 minutes. Add
the chopped zucchini pulp
and basil and cook until
dry, about 10 minutes.
6. Increase the heat to
high. Add the mushrooms
and cook until soft, 5
minutes. Add the garlic
and red pepper fakes and
cook until fragrant, about
3 minutes. Add the white
wine and cook until dry.
Set aside to cool.
7. Stir the cooked farro,
pine nuts and feta into the
cooled vegetable mixture.
Season to taste with salt
and freshly ground black
pepper, and spoon the
mixture into the hollowed-
out zucchinis, mounding
on top. It will take 4 to 6
tablespoons per zucchini
half.
8. Arrange the stuffed
zucchini in the gratin
dish; they may ft quite
tightly. Sprinkle the tops
with more crumbled feta.
Pour the water into the
baking dish so it just cov-
ers the bottom. Bake until
the tops have browned,
about 15 to 20 minutes.
9. Drizzle the top of each
zucchini with a little more
olive oil, transfer to a
serving platter and scatter
over more slivered basil.
Serve warm or at room
temperature.

ZUCCHINI STUFFED WITH
ITALIAN SAUSAGE
1 hours. 4 to 6 servings
Olive oil
3 large zucchini (about
pound each)
Salt
1 onion, diced
3 Italian sausages, removed
from casing and crumbled
cup white wine
1 ounces Parmigiano-Reg-
giano, grated (about cup),
divided
Freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup fresh bread crumbs
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 cups chopped tomatoes,
fresh or canned
2 tablespoons capers, rinsed
1. Heat the oven to 400
degrees. Grease a gratin
dish large enough to hold
the zucchini with olive oil.
2. Cut the zucchini in
half lengthwise and use
a melon baller or ser-
rated spoon to remove the
insides of the zucchini
to make what looks like
a canoe. With a melon
baller, use the large scoop
to remove most of the
pulp in balls and then the
small scoop to smooth the
sides. Leave about one-
fourth inch of the fesh at
the sides and a little more
at the bottom. Collect the
pulp on a cutting board
and chop coarsely.
3. Season the inside of
the zucchini boats lightly
with salt and steam over
rapidly boiling water
until almost tender, about
5 minutes.
4. Heat 2 tablespoons of
olive oil in a large skillet
over medium heat and add
the chopped onions. Cook
until the onion softens,
about 5 minutes. Add the
zucchini pulp and cook
until dry, about 10 min-
utes. Add the crumbled
Italian sausage and fry
until cooked through,
about 10 minutes. Add
the white wine, increase
the heat to high and cook
until the wine has evapo-
rated, about 5 minutes.
5. Remove the mixture
to a bowl to cool, then
stir in one-half cup of
the Parmigiano-Reggiano
and the bread crumbs,
and season to taste with
more salt and pepper.
The mixture should be
highly seasoned. Stir in
enough of the beaten egg
to make the mixture hang
together.
6. Without cleaning the
skillet the zucchini was
cooked in, add another ta-
blespoon of olive oil, then
add the garlic and cook
over medium heat until
fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.
Add the chopped tomatoes
and the capers, and cook,
scraping any favorings
from the base of the pan,
until the sauce just begins
to thicken, about 20 min-
utes. Add salt to taste.
7. Spoon the tomato
sauce into the oiled gratin
dish. Spoon the cooked
sausage mixture into the
hollowed-out zucchinis,
mounding on top, 4 to 6
tablespoons per zucchini.
8. Arrange the stuffed
zucchini in the gratin
dish; they may ft quite
tightly. Dust with the
remaining grated Par-
migiano-Reggiano and
bake until the stuffng has
frmed and the tops have
browned slightly, about 30
minutes. Serve warm or
at room temperature.

RAVE REVIEWS:
It is in showing where to fnd out-of-the-way trout
streams that makes the map such a treasure to the
fsherman.
Joe Gordon, TRIBUNE-DEMOCRAT, Johnstown, PA
I have one of the original Higbees Stream Map of
Pennsylvania on my wall behind my desk. Its the best
thing available as far as streams are concerned. I use it
all the time for reference. I dont know of anything more
extensive, and it is the most accurate map out there as far
as streams are concerned.

LOST STREAM MAP
The STREAM & LAKE MAP OF MICHIGAN resembles another map known to Pennsylvania anglers as the Lost
Stream Map.
The Stream Map of Pennsylvania was completed in 1965 after a thirty-year effort by Howard Higbee, a former Penn
State Professor.
Professor Higbee succeeded in creating a map of the highest detail possible a map that shows every stream and
lake. He painstakingly plotted by hand, the location of 45,000 miles of streams onto a 3 by 5 foot map.
The map sold extremely well until it was lost several years after it frst appeared in print. Incredibly, the printer
entrusted with the original drawing and printing plates, declared bankruptcy, then carelessly hauled Higbees 30 years
of work to a landfll.
The few remaining dog-eared copies became a prized fshermans possession. Professor Higbee was offered $400
for one of his last maps. And state agencies were forced to keep their copies under lock and key.
Experts told Professor Higbee that reprints were impossible, because the maps were printed in non-photographic
blue.
Then in 1991, at the age of 91, Howard Higbees dream came true. Computers made it possible to reprint the map.
Holding an updated map, Howard said, I never thought Id live to see this day.
Then, by combining Professor Higbees knowledge with computer technology the STREAM & LAKE MAP OF
MICHIGAN was created.

EAR AMY: I am a
high school math
teacher. I am hav-
ing frequent and intense
hot fashes in class while
standing in front of a
group of juniors and se-
niors.
How do I address with
my students the fact that
I am suddenly bright red
and soaking wet? I do not
think it is appropriate to
explain that I am having
menopausal hot flashes.
The Teach
DEAR TEACH: You
know your students and
their capabilities and ma-
turity level, so if you dont
think its appropriate to
disclose the very common-
place and factual reason
for your sudden and obvi-
ous physical manifesta-
tions, then I suggest you
keep a fan handy and
simply deal with your
symptoms with no expla-
nation. Just say Excuse
me a minute and peel
off your sweater, take a
drink of cool water and
fan yourself until it pass-
es.
However, I think you
run the risk of creating
conf usion ( or
rumors because
of misinforma-
tion) when it
coul d be dis-
pat ched and
dealt with fairly
quickly. Lets
say you have a
sudden hot flash
in fifth-period
cal cul us. You
can say, Sorry,
class, Im hav-
ing a hot flash.
Let me fan my-
self and take a
drink of water
and it should go
away in a min-
ute. Whew!
Any students
who are sufficiently fas-
cinated can very easily
do an Internet search to
discover whats going on
and the reason behind it.
Soon enough this will be-
come just another aspect
of the natural and quirky
progression of your day.
When I ran your ques-
tion past a high school-
er in my life, she said,
Nobody really notices
whats going on with the
teachers anyway. This
is a reminder that what
happens to you
in the moment
might not have
a proportional
impact on your
students.
DEAR AMY: I
have a very dear
lifelong friend
who has been a
spiritual men-
tor, but over the
past few years
she has become
increasingly en-
gaged in Face-
book romances
all the while
c o mp l a i n i n g
about her hus-
band and alleg-
ing that hes doing the
same kind of thing.
I dont want to judge
but I feel compromised
when she talks about her
online friends, espe-
cially since she has not
addressed the problems
within her marriage over
the years. She has a short
fuse if she gets the slight-
est whiff of criticism.
I have tried discussing
this with her, and suf-
fered the consequences.
I want to keep the
friendship, but Id like to
close the door on being
told of online romances
that feel unsavory un-
til such time as she clears
a pathway to resolve her
marital situation. Whats
the best way to approach
this? Friend in Need
DEAR FRIEND: Based
on what you report, it is
really tough to see what
about this person makes
her an adequate friend,
not to mention spiritual
mentor.
Friends tell the truth
to one another. Friends
dont slam the door to
correction or reflection
when it is offered with
affection. They do their
best to listen.
I take you at your word
that you want to stay
friends with this manip-
ulative train wreck. And
so, given the limitations
she is placing on you, if
you want to stay friends
you will have to stop her at
the pass when she starts
emoting about her Face-
book romances. Practice
saying this: This makes
me uncomfortable. Lets
change the subject, OK?

Todays Birthday (09/30/13).
You may travel for work this
year (defnitely for pleasure).
Talk about what you love, and
cultivate your networks to-
ward that. Study a passion,
formally or not. Build savings
with a frugal lifestyle. Less is
more. True up habits with eth-
ics. Build partnerships with
loving attention. Allow your-
self to be adored.
To get the advantage, check the
days rating: 10 is the easiest
day, 0 the most challenging.
Aries (March 21-April 19) --
Today is a 7 -- Watch where
youre going. Gather informa-
tion. Rules must be enforced.
Promise to keep a secret. An
older person sets boundaries.
Determine when youll do it.
Take notes for future refer-
ence. Do a good job.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) -- To-
day is a 6 -- Ease into a group
situation. It could get awk-
ward for a moment. Consider
the consequences. Do the job
carefully now, or do it over.
Allow others to protect you.
Build your eggs nest one twig
at a time.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) -- To-
day is a 7 -- Keep your mon-
ey in your pocket, and dont
bring it out in public. Stick to
basics on the home front. Re-
spect your budget. Follow up
intuitively with your inten-
tions. Test everything. Dont
believe everything you read.
Upgrade your image.
cancer (June 21-July 22) -- To-
day is a 9 -- Share your dreams.
Devise a plan, possibly includ-
ing some delicious wander-
ing. Stick within your budget.
Avoid getting burned by too
good of a deal. An older indi-
vidual offers practical informa-
tion. Consider carefully before
proceeding. Get frm bids.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Today is
a 9 -- Play by the rules to win
big. Find a treasure in your
own stuff. Work out fnancial
details. If concerned or fright-
ened, study and learn. Dark-
ness evaporates under inspec-
tion with light. This is starting
to feel nice.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- To-
day is a 6 -- There are lots of
good ideas foating around.
Dont rush into anything. You
have a lot going on. Count
your blessings. Heed a friends
warning to be frugal. Provide
information. Handle practical
matters early for a new under-
standing.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Today
is a 7 -- Consider all possibili-
ties, including consequences,
before you accept a challenge.
If emotions get low, just ac-
knowledge that. A work trip
can incorporate pleasure, even
if its a challenging assign-
ment. Dont show work to a
critical person, yet.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- To-
day is a 7 -- Take advantage
of diffcult circumstances.
Distance yourself from emo-
tions in order to choose freely.
Dont interfere with anothers
plan. Listen to all their consid-
erations. Consider the ramif-
cations. Make sure your choice
is something you can live with.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
-- Today is an 8 -- Dont offer
to pay for everyone. Someone
else contributes, much to your
amazement. Your partner has
practical input. Fix something
(or replace it) at home. Con-
sider all possibilities, and save
funds for a rainy day.
capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) --
Today is a 7 -- Dont overex-
tend. Home is the best place.
Avoid a cold or fu by resting
and eating well. Investigate
new options in your game.
Friends offer good advice.
Chaos could swirl. A teacher
offers perspective.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- To-
day is an 8 -- Take care of busi-
ness. Theres a disagreement
about priorities. Work out a
better budget that includes
something it was missing.
Trust your imagination. Offer
advice only if asked. Test your
psychic impressions. Notice
