DeKalb County horseman Bill Knott drives a carriage with Kallie Knott, his granddaughter, as

part of the 2012 Heritage Days parade in Garrett.

SUE CARPENTER

BY MATT GETTSmgetts@kpcmedia.com

LAOTTO — For a man who hasn’t strayed far from his roots, Bill Knott sure seems to get around.

There’s Knott, 71, of rural DeKalb County, in a parade. There he is at the Apple Festival of Kendallville. There he is at an assisted care facility.

What those events have in common are draft horses, large Percherons that cause people to

stop and stare.“It’s my brother Jim’s fault,”

Knott said. “He got me all stirred up in the horse business.”

That was in 1983. He’s been hitched up to draft horses, Perche-

A new beginning for a Steuben place of beauty

Pokagon State Park offi cials did not know quite what to expect when employees Ted Bohman, Lisa Johnloz, Tammy Sawvel and Fred Wooley opened the gate to the public at the Pokagon State Park Trine State Recreation Area for the fi rst time at 8 a.m. on Saturday. Nor did the nearly 75 people who arrived to check out the 200-acre property, which is just east of Pokagon, across Interstate 69.

“No one was disappointed,” said Wooley. It was a day of fi rsts at the property, which is graced with beautiful fall scenes, like fen tamaracks in the top photo. Above left, Deb and Dan Pulver, Fremont, were the fi rst to register and fi sh at the fi shing dock and nearly caught their limit. At right, Brad Stevens, Hamilton, was the fi rst to run on the Rolling Oaks Trail. For more photos, see kpcnews.com.

CHICAGO (AP) — Raise the age at which you can begin collecting full Social Security benefi ts? Older Americans say no. They also veto reductions in the cost-of-living increase.

But a poll fi nds support among those 50 and older for raising the cap on earnings that are taxed to fund the Social Security program so higher-income workers pay more.

The survey by the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research fi nds passionate opposition to any change in the way Social Security benefi ts are calculated that could result in smaller annual raises.

Some 62 percent of respondents expressed opposition to such a proposal, compared with 21 percent who supported it.

The chained CPI, or consumer price index, has been proposed as a new way of calculating the cost-of-living adjustment, but it would reduce raises.

“I really think it’s a sacred cow,” said Margie Nugent, a 55-year-old farmer from North Umberland, Pa. “They shouldn’t touch it.”

Some 58 percent oppose gradually raising the age when retirees qualify for full benefi ts, while 29 percent support it. About one-third believe people should be eligible for full benefi ts before 65. Only 10 percent say full eligibility should come after 67, the top eligibility age under current law.

“I contributed to it. It’s my money,” said Joan McDonald, 65, of Annapolis, Md., who retired as an accountant this year and began collecting Social Security. “The plan was, ‘Contribute this and you get this.’ You can’t change the rules.”

Survey respondents showed more willingness to support Social Security proposals that would mostly impact those with higher incomes.

Forty-one percent expressed support for reducing benefi ts for seniors with higher incomes, compared with 44 percent who opposed the proposal. Whites were much more supportive of reducing

Seniors: Don’t mess with Social Security

ARLINGTON, Va. (AP) — President Barack Obama cast Republican Ken Cuccinelli on Sunday as part of an extreme tea party faction that shut down the government, throwing the political weight of the White House behind Democrat Terry McAuliffe in the fi nal days of a bitter race for governor.

Seeking an upset, Cuccinelli cast this week’s Virginia guberna-torial election as a referendum on Obama’s troubled national health care law.

NEW ALBANY (AP) — Some may say checkers is child’s play, but few in the world have mastered the game the way 14-year-old Alex Holmes has.

The Sellersburg resident and Silver Creek High School freshman captured the 2013 World Checker Draughts Federation youth world qualifi er championship in October in Barbados.

He’s ranked 37th in the world, and for an extra challenge Holmes even plays blindfolded from time to time.

Holmes, as is the case with the game’s best players, knows the checker board by numbers, and likes to set traps for his opponents.

The chickadee is described in “Birds of America” as the “feathered small boy of the woods” and of bird feeders, I would add. I learned to recognize it, to name it, when I, too, was a

small boy. It was one of the fi rst, perhaps the fi rst bird to come to the bird feeder Dad helped me make and hang outside our dining room window.

Chicka-dees are active, little birds, only slightly

larger than a house wren. They’re gray above with white-edged wing feathers, white below and have a black cap, white cheeks and a black bib. They’re as easy to recognize as a robin, a cardinal or a blue jay. They’re common, too. I saw them in the trees around our house, in trees of our neighborhood in other neighborhoods and in trees along the river where I went fi shing with Dad and

Grandpa.I learned to recognize

a chickadee by its song as well as its appearance. By its songs. First it told me its name, chick-a-dee-dee-dee. Often it omitted its fi rst name, calling only dee-dee-dee. It also whistled, a high, thin whistled fee-bee or fee-bee-eee. I learned to imitate that whistle and when I did, chickadees often answered and gathered in the branches of trees around me.

That chickadee, the one

I learned when I was a boy, was the black-capped. Its range, summer and winter, is the northern half of the United States and the southern half of Canada, from the Atlantic Coast to the Pacifi c, and in the West north into Alaska. Chicka-dees live all across North America. To the south is the Carolina, to the north is the boreal, and in the West is the mountain chickadee. All are similar in size and appearance.

In “Birds of America,”

the black-capped chickadee is described as frolicking and frisking from tree to tree, happy and carefree. I’ve seen all four species of chickadee, and they all act that way throughout the day. Only in heavy rain or snow or strong wind and at night are chickadees still — and when one is incubating a clutch of eggs.

Chickadees have to be active when they’re awake. Their metabolism is high, and they’re so little they have little fat reserve. They eat incessantly when awake, acquiring energy at about the same rate they’re using it. At night and during severe weather when they are forced to be inactive, their metabolism slows and they become sluggish, torpid.

Black-capped and Carolina chickadees are common feeder birds. They don’t crowd a feeder like house sparrows and house fi nches, mourning doves, grackles and starlings. They fl y back and forth between a feeder and the branches of nearby trees and bushes. Food habit studies have shown, however, that their primary food is insects and small spiders. When fl itting

about among the leaves or the bare branches in winter, they’re feeding like warblers, gleaning insects, insect larvae and eggs. Seeds are supplemental food. The percent of seeds eaten increases in winter, as would be expected and as any bird feeder observer can tell if he or she counts chickadees coming to a feeder.

Count chickadees! Sure, and when you’ve managed to do that, count snowfl akes the next time it snows. Counting snowfl akes might even be easier if it isn’t snowing heavily, because the snowfl akes will all be falling, not whisking up and down, back and forth.

Chickadees nest in cavities, in deserted downy woodpecker holes, natural cracks and crevices in trees, in bird houses that aren’t occupied by house wrens, house sparrows or other birds. Being last in line for cavity nest sites, it hardly seems possible that chicka-dees can be among our most common woodland and feeder birds. I’d prove they are if only they’d sit still and let me count them.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — In the Indiana higher education community, a world meant to promote free thinking and debate, a seemingly lower-level question of how univer-sity offi cials weigh in on hot-button issues is being pondered.

Indiana Univer-sity President Michael McRobbie took the unusual step last week of throwing IU’s offi cial support behind an effort to keep the state’s ban on gay marriage out of the constitution.

“Equality, compassion and respect for individuals have long been the bedrock of Indiana University’s educational mission, and the lack of tolerance implicit in HJR 6 (the amendment) runs counters to IU’s deeply held values,” McRobbie said

in a statement announcing the university’s stance.

Business leaders, lawmakers, veteran activists and many other people and organiza-tions have been taking sides in the upcoming gay marriage

battle. Supporters of amending the ban into the constitution say it is needed to prevent the courts from effectively legalizing gay marriage in Indiana, but opponents say the step would enshrine inequality in the state.

But the involvement of Indiana’s higher education community is still somewhat unusual. Purdue University

President Mitch Daniels decided the state’s other fl agship university would not be taking sides in the debate.

“Over the years, Purdue has traditionally declined to comment on social issues that have been contended in the public arena,” Purdue Vice President for Public Affairs Julie Griffi th told the Lafayette Journal & Courier. “Any departure from this policy should be undertaken only after careful consultation with the university’s many and diverse stakeholders.”

Daniels drew attention to the role of leaders and politics last year when, as part of his high-profi le selection as president, he announced that he would refrain from commenting on

certain political issues. That vow, offered in the middle of the 2012 election cycle as he was rounding out his term as governor, has led to questions of how it is applied.

Speaking last week at a Christian Science Monitor breakfast, Daniels offered his thoughts on everything from the Keystone XL pipeline to New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who is up for re-election Tuesday. But he also said his “vow of political celibacy” would keep him from weighing in on certain issues, like Virginia Attorney General Ken Cucinelli’s race for governor.

“Partisan means just that — Republican versus Democrat. The president has not participated in campaign politics of any kind.

He sat out the 2012 election completely and has turned down every invitation from any partisan committee or candidate,” Purdue spokeswoman Shelley Triol told The Associated Press in an email responding to questions of how Daniels applies his vow.

Peter Wood, president of the conservative National Association of Scholars, has consistently defended Daniels in higher education forums and argues his voice is needed most in tradition-ally left-leaning academia. Wood wrote last month that Daniels was wrong to apologize for a paid appearance at a conservative Minnesota think tank and should not shy from public debate, despite Daniels’ political vow.

MUNCIE (AP) — Muncie students could be forced to fi nd their own transportation to school next year if voters reject a proposed property tax increase designed to keep buses running.

A special election is being held Tuesday in an effort to address a transportation shortfall in the Muncie Community Schools Corp. The district wants to increase taxes to collect $3.325 million to operate buses for students and extra-curricular activities.

The increase would amount to about $37 for a homeowner whose property is assessed at $75,000 after homestead deductions.

Muncie is one of several Indiana districts struggling

with ways to keep their buses on the road under statewide property tax caps that have cut transportation funds.

Elkhart County’s Concord schools are considering eliminating universal busing as the district faces a loss of 60 percent of its transpor-tation funds next year. South Bend schools also are looking at cost-saving measures, including increasing the distance students must walk to school.

“I think there’s recogni-tion that if we don’t get a solution to the continuing losses of revenue in the transportation fund, the only (way to offset that) is to start cutting back on services we provide,” said Doug Hasler, executive director of support services for Elkhart

Community Schools. His district will lose 17 percent of its transportation funding this year because of tax caps.

Indiana law doesn’t require districts to provide transportation for students and makes it illegal for districts to charge children to ride school buses.

That provision was sparked by an Indianapolis district’s decision to turn over its bus service to an outside company that required parents to pay more than $40 a month for their children to ride the bus. Franklin Township Schools dropped the plan last year amid protests from parents and a lawsuit over the fees, which Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller said violated the state constitution.

Fate of school buses up to Muncie votersNEW CASTLE (AP) —

State police say a central Indiana man faces multiple charges after leading a trooper on a chase that reached 111 mph.

Police say Trooper Doug Snyder clocked a westbound Chevrolet Malibu going that fast about 7:30 a.m. Sunday on Interstate 70 near New Castle. As Snyder began pursuit, the chase continued at 111 mph for about 20 miles until stop sticks fl attened the Malibu’s tires and the car left the road, crash through a fence and continued for nearly half a mile into a plowed farm fi eld.

Police say 26-year-old Brian Baran of Whiteland in Johnson County was arrested on charges of fl eeing police, criminal recklessness and reckless driving. He was being held Sunday at the Henry County Jail in New Castle.

Police chase went to 111 mph

Santa Claus post offi ce announces holiday postmark

SANTA CLAUS (AP) — A drawing of a smiling Santa saying “Merry Christmas to all … and to all a good night!” is the special postmark for the southwestern Indiana post offi ce of Santa Claus this December.

The Evansville Courier & Press reports a special postmark has been offered every year since 1983. This year’s postmark was drawn by Purdue University student Nolan Brinkman of Dale.

Postmaster Marian Balbach says the post offi ce branch in Santa Claus usually receives about 13,000 pieces of mail a month, but each December it receives about 400,000 pieces. Santa Claus is a town about 35 miles northeast of Evansville

There is no charge for the postmark, but it has to be requested by the customer.

Muncie voters to decide school bus service future

MUNCIE (AP) — Muncie schools are joining a growing number of districts considering ending bus service due to funding shortages caused by statewide property tax caps.

Muncie Community Schools Corp. is asking voters Tuesday to approve a property tax increase that would provide $3.3 million to operate buses. The district will likely end bus service next year if voters reject the measure.

Schools in South Bend, Elkhart and elsewhere are considering similar steps as they face losing up to 60 percent of their transporta-tion funds.

Indiana doesn’t require districts to provide transpor-tation for students but makes it illegal for districts to charge children to ride school buses.

Purdue University professor Larry DeBoer says the tax caps hit urban districts especially hard because they have to share tax revenue with city services.

Robby Benson’s IU fi lm students try crowdfunding

BLOOMINGTON (AP) — Students in an Indiana University fi lm class taught by actor and director Robby Benson have turned to the Internet to fi nd investors for their fi lm projects.

The students are tapping into crowdfunding, in which donors contribute small sums of money online to get projects off the ground.

The Herald-Times reports Benson’s students are using Indiegogo.com in hopes of raising $10,000 to produce 13 short fi lms.

Donors will receive thank-yous, such as signed movie posters, signed pictures from the casts and crews and a video message from Benson. Their names will also appear in the fi lm credits.

Benson is known for his appearances in 1970s coming-of-age fi lms and as voice of the Beast in Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast.” He joined the IU Department of Telecom-munications this fall.

Cool-season tornadoes focus of Tuesday meeting

EVANSVILLE (AP) The dangers of tornadoes that strike during the night and in cooler seasons will be the focus of a National Weather Service event marking the eighth anniver-

sary of a deadly twister in southwestern Indiana.

The Evansville Courier & Press reports that Tuesday’s public meeting will focus on the challenges and dangers of cool-season tornadoes such as the one that struck Vanderburgh and Warrick counties on Nov. 6, 2005.

The tornado hit at 2 a.m. and tore a 41-mile swath of damage through portions of Kentucky and southwestern Indiana. Two dozen people died. Most victims were in the Eastbrook Mobile Home Park near Evansville, which lacked a storm shelter.

The meeting will take place at the American Red Cross building in Evansville from 10 a.m. to noon.

IU challenges energy conservation

BLOOMINGTON (AP) — A four-week Indiana University challenge to conserve energy has prompted students, faculty and staff to take the stairs, turn off lights and distribute conservation tips.

The Herald-Times reports the ninth campus challenge began Oct. 7 and ends today. IU offi cials say previous challenges have helped the campus save about $1.3 million by reducing the use of electricity and water.

Welcome!Pokagon State Park employee Elizabeth Church enjoys a cup of coffee while taking a look at the Swenson Lodge in the newly opened Trine State Recreation Area on Saturday morning. The lodge is one of the new additions to the property, which is operated by Indiana Department of Natural Resources employees from neighboring

Pokagon. The lodge honors Helen and Ben Swenson, who once owned the property, named Wing Haven. The original home of the Swensons is south of the new DNR property, also on the Seven Sisters Lakes and is now an ACRES Inc. nature preserve. More photos appear on Page A1 and online at kpcnews.com.

GARY (AP) — For the fi rst time since his father buried his beaten and broken body in a shallow grave under a concrete slab beneath a storage shed in April 2009, young Christian Choate has a gravestone to let the world know where he rests.

Community and maternal family members gathered Friday morning at Ridgelawn Cemetery in Gary to pay their respects to the boy and to celebrate the marker, which came after a woman none of them knew — Patricia Breslin of Arlington, Wash. — spent a year collecting donations to pay for the $2,000 headstone.

“We were so elated,” Christian’s maternal grandfa-ther, Bernard Eriks, told the Post-Tribune about discov-ering Breslin’s work. “We’d been saving and saving and saving and then we got word that this came through.”

Christian died on April 2, 2009, after years of abuse at the hands of his father, Riley Choate, and stepmother, Kimberly Kubina. Choate buried the 13-year-old’s body the day he died in a plastic bag on the family’s property in the Colfax Mobile Home Park in Black Oak.

The family, which had been investigated several times by the Department of Child Services before then but hadn’t lost custody of Christian, never told anyone he died and quietly moved to Kentucky. The rest of the world didn’t discover his

death until two years later when his sister, Christina, told authorities and her mother, Aimee Estrada, what had happened.

Choate and Kubina both eventually pleaded guilty in his death and admitted to regularly beating and starving him and keeping him locked up in a dog crate for the last year of his life. Choate is serving an 80-year sentence, and Kubina is serving a 35-year sentence.

Choate’s body fi nally got a proper burial after a Lake County judge released his body to Eriks’ family in September 2012. However, they didn’t have enough money to pay for a headstone and had to fi nd his grave by remembering which headstones were nearby.

Breslin said she fi rst heard about Christian after seeing a story online in 2011.

“When I saw his face, that smile and those sad eyes, it broke my heart,” said Breslin, who was at the cemetery Friday.

She called Ridgelawn Funeral Home after she found out he would be buried and started a series of discussions with them about how she could help. Sheila Kirby, executive funeral director for the funeral home, said they knew from the beginning that paying for a headstone would be a problem. She said Breslin’s desire, from the start, was how she could help.

Breslin said it took her a year of asking people for donations — “begging” — before she could get enough money.

Grave of abused boy gets marker

GREENWOOD (AP) — An increase in the number of students with food allergies is prompting Indiana schools to change their policies on birthdays and other special occasions.

Some districts bar parents from sending in cupcakes or other treats to recognize their child’s birthday. Others are more closely scrutinizing food items for possible allergens or requiring that any goods brought in are prepackaged and contain a list of ingredi-ents.

The moves come amid new guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on how schools should handle food allergy issues.

Voluntary guidelines released Wednesday by the CDC urge schools to restrict nuts, shellfi sh or other foods that can cause allergic reactions and to ensure that emergency allergy medicine — like EpiPens — is available.

Many districts and individual schools have policies of their own, but CDC offi cials say there’s a need for a more compre-hensive and standardized policy.

At Isom Elementary School in Greenwood, the offi ce staff asks where the baked goods came from, what the ingredients are and where the food is going.

If anyone in the classroom is allergic to the ingredients, the item isn’t allowed in, health aide Cathy Strange told the Daily Journal.

The school also bars latex balloons because of the number of students with latex allergies, she said.

“We’re just more conscious, and we’re more vigilant with our (students’) latex and nut allergies,” Strange said.

Webb Elementary School in Johnson County has banned homemade birthday cakes because of allergy concerns. Principal Sandra Brown said parents can bring in prepack-aged food that lists the ingredients, but she prefers nonedible items such as pencils and erasers.

“We do a lot of in-depth studies to make sure that, if we have kids with allergies, they’re not going to get something that causes a problem. It’s just one of those things we need to do and have to do to keep kids safe,” Brown said.

Franklin schools take another step by having students with severe food allergies sit at separate tables during lunch.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Now is when Americans start fi guring out that President Barack Obama’s health care law goes beyond political talk, and really does affect them and people they know.

With a cranky federal website complicating access to new coverage and some consumers being notifi ed their existing plans are going away, the potential for winners and losers is creating anxiety and confusion.

“I’ve had questions like, ‘Are they going to put me in jail if I don’t buy insurance? Because nobody will sell it to me,’” said Bonnie Burns, a longtime community-level insurance counselor from California. “We have family members who are violently opposed to ‘Obamacare’ and they are on Medicaid — they don’t understand that they’re already covered by taxpayer benefi ts.

“And then there is a young man with lupus who would have never been insurable,” Burns continued. “He is on his parents’ plan and he’ll be able to buy his own coverage. They are very relieved.”

A poll just out from the

nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation documents shifts in the country in the month since insurance sign-ups began.

Fifty-fi ve percent now say they have enough

information to understand the law’s impact on their family, up 8 percentage points in just one month. Part of the reason is that advertising about how to get coverage is beginning to

register.“The law is getting more

and more real for people,” said Drew Altman, the foundation’s president. “A lot of this will turn on whether there’s a percep-

tion that there have been more winners than losers. … It’s not whether an expert thinks something is a better insurance policy, it’s whether people perceive it that way.”

Health law getting real for Americans

President Barack Obama speaks at Boston’s historic Faneuil Hall about the federal health care law. With a cranky federal website complicating access to

new coverage and some consumers being notifi ed their existing plans are going away, the potential for winners and losers is creating anxiety and confusion.

PARIS (AP) — Two veteran French journalists kidnapped and killed in northern Mali were shot to death, French authorities said Sunday, as questions emerged about how the gunmen managed to carry out the attack near a town where both French troops and U.N. forces are based.

The slayings of Ghislaine Dupont, 51, and Claude Verlon, 58, shocked France and underscored how insecure parts of northern Mali remain months after a French-led military interven-tion against al-Qaida and other extremists.

The new details, shared by French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius after a meeting of key ministers with French President Francois Hollande, failed to clarify who was behind the killings and why the pair was targeted.

He said the two were shot multiple times and their bodies found near the vehicle that whisked them away. Earlier, four Malian offi cials, including the head of the armed forces in Kidal said the journalists’ throats

had been slit.Their bodies were fl own

to the Malian capital of Bamako on Sunday, and were to be returned to France on Monday.

The Radio France Internationale journalists were kidnapped Saturday after interviewing a Tuareg rebel leader in Kidal. The northern town is under de facto rebel control despite the presence of French and U.N. troops.

French troops, alerted to the kidnappings, set up checkpoints, sent out patrols and called in helicopters to search for the journalists, French military spokesman Col. Gilles Jaron said.

But a patrol arrived too late, fi nding the abandoned vehicle east of the town and the bodies nearby. The French troops, some 200 of

whom are based at the Kidal airport, had earlier found no trace of the fl eeing vehicle.

Fabius said the bodies were found some 12 kilome-ters (8 miles) outside Kidal and “several meters” from the vehicle. RFI chief Marie-Christine Saragosse said they were found 80 meters (87 feet) from the kidnappers’ vehicle.

The killings were “odious, abject and revolting,” Fabius said. He said one journalist had been hit with three bullets, the other two — but that the car, whose doors were locked, showed no impact from bullets.

Cecile Megie, RFI’s executive editor, said the two journalists had been seized by a group that spirited them away in a beige pickup truck.

“The site showed no trace of fi ghting, gunfi re. It was an execution,” Megie said.

Despite January’s French-led intervention and a presidential election since, much of Mali, especially the vast north, remains in turmoil.

France: Two journalists in Mali were shot to death

MANAMA, Bahrain (AP) — The head of Bahrain’s main opposition group was charged Sunday with insulting authorities through an exhibition that showed alleged abuses against anti-government protesters, a lawyer said, in a move that could sharply raise tensions in the violence-wracked Gulf nation.

The charges against Ali Salman, the head of the Shiite bloc Al Wefaq, came just hours after a court sentenced four suspects to life in prison for alleged ties to Shiite militant factions and acting as spies for Iran. Bahrain accuses Iran of aiding the 32-month uprising by the kingdom’s majority Shiites against the ruling Sunni dynasty.

Iran denies the accusa-tions and no fi rm evidence has been produced. But the claims by Bahrain’s Western-backed leading have been echoed by other

Gulf Arab nations that fear Iran seeks to destabilize their networks of ruling clans.

More than 65 people have been killed in Bahrain’s Arab Spring-in-spired protests seeking a greater political voice for Shiites on the strategic island nation, which is home to the U.S. Navy’s 5th Fleet. Some rights groups place the overall death toll higher.

It’s unclear whether Salman will face trial, which could touch off wider clashes. Prosecutors have the option of not bringing the case to court.

Al Wefaq’s lawyer Abdullah al-Shamlawi said Salman was not jailed after being charged and was allowed to return home following questioning. Across the Gulf, courts have issued prison terms as long as 15 years for perceived insults against rulers on social media or other forums.

It’s all about you

BY ELAINE TOGNERI“Only the pure in heart

can make a good soup.” — Ludwig van Beethoven

I cut the roots and leaf stems off six leeks and wash them well. I slice the white and light green parts of the stalks. Their onion-like scent permeates the kitchen. Soon onions will join them and carry their fragrance throughout the house.

I don’t remember when I fi rst made my version of potato leek soup based on a recipe from “Joy of Cooking,” but once I did, it became the most popular dish in our family’s Easter tradition. “Did you make the soup?” was the fi rst question everyone asked when they arrived to celebrate the holiday. I didn’t dare stop making it.

I peel and slice a couple of large white onions. Tears sting my eyes. Chopping onions is a good way to grieve without being obvious. I add chunks of butter to a large stainless-steel stockpot and turn on the burner. Returning to the cutting board, I continue chopping. The pile of vegetables grows. When I fi nish, I toss everything in

with the sizzling butter.No one loved my soup

more than my husband’s older brother Jo-Jo. The creamy fl avor satisfi ed even the taste buds of this heavy smoker. He was always fi rst in line when we served the soup and back for seconds soon after.

I wash and peel potatoes. After rinsing them again, I pat them dry with a paper towel. I stop and stir the butter-leek-onion saute between slicing potatoes. The kitchen smells even better than before.

Even after Jo-Jo had surgery for throat cancer and ate via a feeding tube, he enjoyed the soup. He thinned it a bit to pump it into his stomach. “Soup’s

good,” he told me, his eyes as bright as his smile. We talked about the books we were reading and favorite authors as I put the fi nal touches on the holiday meal.

I add the potatoes to the pot and pour enough chicken stock in to cover everything. The soup needs to simmer until the potatoes are tender. I’ve dirtied several spatulas and dripped stock across the stove. The counters are covered with discarded damp towels, onion skins and potato peels. I am not a neat cook, but neatness doesn’t count. Flavor does.

Jo-Jo and his wife invited the whole family for Thanksgiving. “He’s not doing well,” my husband Paul said.

“Let’s make the soup and take it,” I suggested.

A hint of a smile crossed Paul’s face. “He’ll like that.”

We arrived at their home, carrying a large container and a chafi ng dish. “We brought the soup,” I said.

An echo went up around the dining room. “She made the soup.” Jo-Jo hurried away from the football game playing on the TV and

smiled. I handed him a small glass bowl fi lled with soup specially thinned for him that I’d kept warm.

A batch at a time, I puree the soup in my food processor. The blades whirl, transforming the potatoes and vegetables into a velvety concoction that I return to a clean stockpot. I season with white pepper and salt and then add the fi nal touch right before serving, a pint of light cream.

Thanksgiving was the last time Jo-Jo enjoyed my soup. He passed in early December of that year.

I only make the soup for special occasions. Every time I prepare it, I pause and shed a few tears. I think fondly of Jo-Jo, remembering how much he loved it. I imagine he’s watching my ritual with approval and telling me, “Soup’s good.”

When I call the family to dinner, I wonder if they hear Jo-Jo too, because, before long, someone always shouts, “Soup’s good.”

HARRISON, N.J. (AP) — A second term all but assured, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is casting himself as an inclusive Republican who transcends political lines and a pragmatic leader whose results-ori-ented approach offers valuable lessons for dysfunctional party leaders in Washington.

“We need to send a message to all of America that the only way our state and our country gets better is if people work together across the aisle,” Christie said during a rally in the campaign’s waning days at an Elks Lodge packed with pro-Christie Democrats.

“My job is to be the CEO of this state, not to be some ideologue,” he added.

It’s a closing message that doubles as the opening argument for a prospective presidential run. But a resounding victory Tuesday in a Democratic-leaning state over a little-known and underfunded state senator, as polls suggest is likely, doesn’t automatically translate into success at the national level.

Democrats and Republicans agree that Christie always was positioned to win big in his fi rst re-election test. Challenger Barbara Buono has struggled to attract support from even her party’s most devoted allies.

Signaling how little confi dence she has inspired in the party, the Democratic Governors Association, which is designed to help Democrats win governor’s races, spent less than $5,000 on the New Jersey contest while pouring more than $6 million into the Virginia election, also Tuesday.

Other would-be Christie critics shied

away from New Jersey, giving the incumbent little resistance as he sells himself as an electable GOP leader with particular appeal among women and minori-ties, groups that Republicans elsewhere often struggle to attract. Christie’s advisers suggest that would be his pitch during any future national campaign.

Beyond New Jersey, Democrats express regret that they didn’t do more to highlight Christie’s political warts, challenge his economic record in a state with high unemployment, and use the moment to exploit his vulnerabilities ahead of a possible national run.

Outside groups were reluctant to spend money on a race perceived as unwinnable for Democrats, particularly when there was a more competitive contest in Virginia.

What’s ahead for New Jersey Gov. Christie if re-elected? cans spilled into the race

and colored the fi nal hours of campaigning ahead of Tuesday’s vote. As one of just two gubernatorial races in the nation, the results of Tuesday’s elections could hold clues about voter attitudes and both parties’ messages heading into the 2014 midterm elections.

Obama tore into Cuccinelli as an ideologue unwilling to compromise, while Cuccinelli was telling his supporters that Tuesday’s election will be a test for the health care law and McAuliffe’s support for it.

“No more Obamacare in Virginia. That’s the message we can send,” Cuccinelli said in Weyers Cave, a small town northwest of Charlot-tesville, as he began a day that was taking him from airport to airport, many in Republican-rich regions in southern and western Virginia.

A short time later, in northern Virginia on the outskirts of Washington, Obama said a vote for McAuliffe would be a vote for progress. He said Cuccinelli wanted Virginia voters to forget that the Republican’s like-minded counterparts in Congress just weeks earlier had taken the

economy, the nation and the economy hostage, hurting Virginians in the process.

“Now he says it’s in the rearview mirror. It can’t be in

gymnasium in Arlington.Polls show McAuliffe

ahead and campaign fi nance reports show dramatically lopsided results, with the Democrats outraising and outspending Cuccinelli and his allies by a wide margin. Television airtime was tilted in McAuliffe’s favor by 10-to-1.

That has led Cuccinelli, the state’s attorney general who led the unsuccessful lawsuit to overturn the health law, to focus on reaching conservative voters almost exclusively. He uses his campaign stops to energize his own backers, many of whom disapprove of the president and detest his health care law.

“If you want to fi ght Obamacare, if you want to tell Washington that Virgin-

ians have had enough of Obamacare, then I need your vote,” a hoarse Cuccinelli said at an airport rally in Roanoke.

The race is going to be decided by the few Virgin-ians who choose to vote. The state Board of Elections chief says turnout could be as low as 30 percent of registered voters and the campaigns see 40 percent turnout as the goal.

“If mainstream Virginians from both parties don’t turn out to vote, you’re letting the tea party decide Virgin-ia’s future,” McAuliffe said. More than 114,000 Virgin-ians have already voted early.

That doesn’t mean Cuccinelli is yielding.

Cuccinelli kept an intense focus on the health care law, knocking McAuliffe for wanting to use the law to expand Medicaid and add 400,000 Virginians to the program. McAuliffe says the program keeps Virginia tax dollars at home, but Cuccinelli says it will be a drag on the state budget and tie future governors’ hands.

“Once you get in, there’s no getting out,” Cuccinelli said, then referred to the popular Eagles’ song about a hotel where people could “check in but never leave.”

rons in particular, ever since.“They’re just very

fascinating,” he said. “It’s amazing how docile they can be, if you don’t surprise them. That’s how they are.”

His Percherons aren’t just show or parade animals. Knott uses them as work animals, pulling farm machinery that weighs more than a ton. It would be faster to do the same work with a tractor, he admitted.

“That’s not the point here,” he said.

The horses, if not worked, can grow bored. And with their great size, you don’t want an ornery Percheron on your hands.

“You have to be fi rm,” Knott said. “They’ll test you.”

Knott started working for Northern Indiana Fuel & Light in 1960. In 1976, he left the company to start his own excavation business.

“I guess I just like working on my own,” he said. “My boys were old enough to help with it.”

Today, the company roster includes sons Tim and Rob and a grandson.

Knott is a family man in every sense of the word. Not

only does he work with his sons and a grandson, but his sister, Judy Harshman, and brother, Jim, all own draft horses. All of his siblings live within two miles of each other.

“I was born and raised just a mile from here,” Knott said from his company offi ce.

He said his recently deceased mother, Eloise, was a big supporter of the family’s endeavors.

Knott’s “family” extends beyond bloodlines. He is heavily involved in the DeKalb County Draft Horse Association. Association members truly seem to enjoy each other’s company — and plenty of good-natured ribbing.

“We try to support each other,” Knott said. “Our club members are excellent. Everyone chips in to help each other.”

The group has taken philanthropy as one of its key missions, and members such as Knott can be seen at a variety of functions throughout the year.

“The club just wants to share its talent,” Knott said. “The disadvantaged people just love it. It’s very

rewarding. It makes you feel good to do that for somebody else.”

Big horses are a big hobby, Knott said. Each of his horses can eat a bale of hay a day. They also require daily exercise.

And sometimes, they can be almost as ornery as Bill Knott.

He recalled the time a gate wasn’t properly latched, and he woke to fi nd two of his horses, weighing in at approximately 2,200 pounds each, in his swimming pool. He said the situation was further compounded when he called Jim for help.

Jim came to his aid, sure enough, but he also made sure the incident wasn’t a secret.

“He called everybody under the sun to tell them what happened,” Bill Knott said. “Needless to say, it cost a chunk of money to get it fi xed.”

Family is family, and Knott sits up straighter when talking about his sons and his daughter, Heidi.

“They’re all good workers,” he said. “They’re not afraid of work. I feel proud. I do.”

benefi ts for high-earning seniors than minorities.

Changes to Social Security are on the horizon because the trust funds that support the massive retire-ment and disability program are projected to run dry in 2033. At that point, Social Security would only collect enough taxes to pay about three-fourths of benefi ts. If Congress doesn’t act, benefi ts automatically would be cut by about 25 percent.

A new round of

budget talks underway in Washington could produce proposals to change Social Security.

In previous budget talks, President Barack Obama has proposed adopting the chained CPI, making it one of the few issues on which he and House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, agree. Other groups, including Obama’s 2010 defi cit commission, have proposed raising the age when retirees can get full Social Security benefi ts.

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) — U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry moved Sunday to reassure America’s Arab friends that the United States will not allow them to be attacked “from outside,” in an apparent warning to Iran.

Speaking in Egypt while en route to Saudi Arabia where he hopes to mend relations strained by Saudi unhappiness with U.S. actions in Syria, its tentative warming with Iran and stance on Egypt, Kerry acknowledged differences with some partners but stressed they shared common goals in each case.

In addition, he said Saudi Arabia and other U.S. allies

in the Gulf could count on America’s support.

“The United States will be there for the defense of our friends and our allies,” Kerry told reporters in Cairo. “We will not allow those countries to be attacked from outside. We will stand with them.”

He specifi cally mentioned the Sunni majority states of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Jordan and Egypt as nations, along with unspecifi ed “others.” Those others likely would include Israel, the strongest U.S. ally in the region. All have vested interests in seeing an end to the turmoil in Syria and are extremely wary of Shiite Iran’s regional intentions.

Vettel wins againABU DHABI, United

Arab Emirates (AP) — World champion Sebastian Vettel won the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix in dominant fashion Sunday to clinch a seventh straight victory and 11th of the season.

Although the German had already clinched his fourth consecutive world title at the Indian GP last weekend, he pledged there would be no let up. Starting from second on the grid, Vettel overtook his Red Bull teammate Mark Webber on the fi rst turn and was untroubled after that.

“Obviously, winning is very special,” Vettel said. “Seven races in a row — every single one is tough.”

He beat second-placed Webber by 30.8 seconds and Mercedes driver Nico Rosberg by 33.6 seconds. Lotus driver Romain Grosjean was fourth and two-time former champion Fernando Alonso fi nished fi fth — although stewards were investigating the Spaniard for a passing move on Frenchman Jean-Eric Vergne late on.

Vettel now has 37 career race wins and, with two races left, can match Michael Schumacher’s single-season record of 13 wins in 2004 — during which the German also won seven in a row. Schumacher also won 11 races in 2002.

Late night work for ColtsHouston Texans quarterback Case Keenum (7) passes the ball against the Indianapolis Colts during the fi rst quarter of an NFL football game Sunday evening in Houston. The action on the fi eld was overshadowed by the collapse of Texans’ head

coach Gary Kubiak, who collapsed while walking off the fi eld for halftime, with his team ahead 21-3. NBC broadcast reports said Kubiak was taken to a hospital as a precaution. Results of the game can be found online at kpcnews.com.

DENVER (AP) — Denver Broncos coach John Fox needs heart surgery and will miss several weeks, team spokesman Patrick Smyth confi rmed Saturday night.

The 58-year-old Fox will undergo aortic valve replacement surgery early next week at a hospital in Charlotte, N.C.

The Broncos did not immediately name an interim head coach.

Fox had been told earlier about his heart condition and was hoping to put off the operation until February. As part of

his trip to North Carolina over the Broncos’ bye week, he met with his cardiologist and was told to seek medical attention immediately if he felt any discomfort.

On Saturday, Fox became dizzy playing golf near his offseason home and was taken to a hospital, where tests revealed he couldn’t wait any longer to have the surgery.

“I sincerely appreciate all of the support from friends, Denver Broncos fans and so many around the league today,” Fox said in a statement released by the team Saturday night. “Although I am disappointed I must take some time away from the team to attend to this pre-existing health condition, I understand that it’s the right thing to do. I have great confi dence in our coaches and players, who are fully committed to our goals.

“I look forward to returning to coaching as soon as possible.”

Jimmie Johnson celebrates winning the NASCAR Sprint Cup series auto race at Texas Motor Speedway Sunday in Fort Worth, Texas.

Fox

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Jimmie Johnson is the leader again in the Chase for the Sprint Cup title after a dominating victory Sunday at Texas Motor Speedway.

The fi ve-time Cup champion knows all too well that his seven-point lead over Matt Kenseth is far from overwhelming with two races left in the season.

Johnson also left the Lone Star State last November with a victory and seven-point lead — and lost the championship to Brad Keselowski.

“I hope history doesn’t repeat itself,” Johnson said. “That is the perfect example of this thing isn’t over until it’s over. Last year we

had eight great races and two bad ones and didn’t get the champi-onship. … There are two very important races left.”

Kenseth and Johnson were tied in points when they got to Texas, though Kenseth was considered the leader based on his seven wins.

Johnson led 255 of 334 laps for his sixth win this season while becoming only the second three-time Cup winner at the high-banked 1½-mile Texas track. The No. 48 Chevrolet fi nished more than 4 seconds ahead of Hendrick Motorsports teammate Dale Earnhardt Jr.

Johnson regains Chase lead with Texas victory

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Nick Foles tied an NFL mark with seven touchdown passes and threw for 406 yards to revitalize Philadelphia in a 49-20 victory over the Oakland Raiders on Sunday.

The backup quarterback connected three times with Riley Cooper to become the seventh passer in NFL history with seven TD tosses in a game. Peyton Manning did it for Denver on opening night this season against Baltimore.

Foles also threw scoring passes to Brent Celek, Zach Ertz, LeSean McCoy and DeSean Jackson as the Eagles (4-5) looked nothing like

the offense that failed to score a touchdown in each of the past two weeks.

Foles completed 22 of 28 passes as he frequently exploited mismatches and blown coverages, starting with a 42-yard screen pass to Cooper on the opening drive when the Raiders (3-5) had two defenders trying to match up with three receivers.

Foles tied the record with a 5-yard pass to Cooper with 4:28 remaining in the third quarter, matching the mark also held

by Sid Luckman, Adrian Burk, George Blanda, Y.A. Tittle and Joe Kapp.

Kroemer is the daughter of Jim and Cheryl Kroemer of Syracuse. In her hall of fame acceptance remarks, she credited them and her brothers, Dr. Aaron Kroemer and Adam Kroemer, for her success in athletics.

She said her parents never pushed her in sports, “They just supported me.”

Her older brothers taught her how to play baseball, she added.

“I grew up playing baseball. I never played softball,” she said at the hall of fame ceremony.

At DeKalb, “My freshman year, I wanted to try out for the baseball team,” she said, but softball coach Don Myers encouraged her to try

softball for a week.“I thought, man, this is

easy. I think I could play this in college now, so I think I’m going to stick with this,” she said about softball.

Kroemer said she was “completely surprised, humbled, proud, excited” about her selection for Western Michigan’s hall of fame.

Priscah Jeptoo of Kenya crosses the fi nish line fi rst in the women’s division at the 2013 New York City Marathon in New York.

NEW YORK (AP) — Geoffrey Mutai ran by himself through Central Park, the same scene as the last New York City Marathon.

The race’s return to the fi ve boroughs looked no different from the past in many ways, yet much had changed. The streets were still crammed with runners and the sidewalks with fans, undaunted by the tight security.

Mutai successfully defended his title Sunday, while fellow Kenyan Priscah Jeptoo came from behind to win the women’s race.

Mutai broke the course record in New York two years ago, then the 2012 race never happened because of the destruction from Superstorm Sandy. The April bombings at the Boston Marathon bared the vulnera-bility of an event that packs city streets with people.

So barricades blocked off much of the park, and fans waited in bag-check lines to get in.

Still, there were plenty of spectators to urge on Jeptoo to chase down Buzunesh

Deba, a Bronx resident who fi nished runner-up for the second straight time in her hometown race.

Nobody was catching Mutai, who pulled away around Mile 22 and beat Ethiopia’s Tsegaye Kebede by 52 seconds. On a windy morning, Mutai’s time of 2 hours, 8 minutes, 24 seconds was well off his course record of 2:05:06 set in nearly perfect conditions two years ago. He’s the fi rst man to repeat in New York since Kenya’s John Kagwe in 1997-98.

“To defend your title is not easy,” Mutai said. “As you see the course today, the weather today, it was not easy. Even for me, I try all I can, but I was not believing that I can fi nish like that.”

Jeptoo trailed Deba by nearly 3½ minutes at the halfway point. She made her move as the race entered Manhattan after a race offi cial on a bike told her how big the gap was.

“So I started to push the pace,” she said. “I was having confi dence that I will make it.”

Deba was slowed by stomach cramps, and Jeptoo passed the Ethiopian with just more than 2 miles left. The 2012 Olympic silver medalist and 2013 London Marathon champ, Jeptoo won in 2:25:07 to clinch the $500,000 World Marathon Majors bonus.

Last year’s late cancella-tion of the event in New York incensed many residents and runners, but there was little sign of those sour feelings Sunday. City and marathon offi cials initially vowed that the race would go on, and New Yorkers balked at the idea of possibly diverting resources amid such devasta-tion. But by the time the decision to cancel was made, many out-of-town entrants had already traveled to the city.

Plenty came back a year later. A record 50,740 runners started.

The women’s race played out almost identically to the last NYC Marathon two years ago. But this time, Deba was the pursued, not the pursuer.

In 2011, Mary Keitany took a big early lead, and

Deba and countrywomen Firehiwot Dado chased her down. Dado, who won that day, was 14th Sunday as the defending champ.

This time, Deba and training partner Tigist Tufa separated themselves right from the start. Deba wound up fi nishing 48 seconds behind Jeptoo, while Tufa fell back to eighth.

“That’s my plan,” Deba said. “I need to run my best time. My training is very good. I prepared very good.”

Jelena Prokopcuka of Latvia, who won the NYC Marathon in 2005 and ‘06, placed third at age 37, returning to the podium after the birth of her son.

Kebede, the London Marathon champ, clinched the $500,000 bonus for the World Marathon Majors men’s title. South Africa’s Lusapho April was third.

Mutai proved again that when he’s healthy, he’s the best in the world. He ran the fastest marathon in history, 2:03:02 in Boston in 2011, which didn’t count as a world record because the course is too straight and downhill.

CHIEFS 23, BILLS 13ORCHARD PARK, N.Y.

(AP) — Sean Smith returned an interception 100 yards for a touchdown and Tamba Hali scored on an 11-yard fumble return in the Chiefs’ win over Buffalo.

The defense made up for a sputtering offense that managed just 210 yards, and for its own defi ciencies.

The Chiefs gave up a season-worst 470 yards to a Bills (3-6) offense that was led by undrafted rookie Jeff Tuel, making his fi rst career start. Tuel fi nished 18 of 39 for 229 yards passing, including a 59-yard touchdown to Marquise Goodwin. Tuel, however, threw two interceptions that led to 10 points for the Chiefs.

Kansas City (9-0) remained the NFL’s only undefeated team and matched the best start in franchise history set in 2003.

The Chiefs held an opponent to 17 points or fewer for the ninth straight time — matching the NFL record set by the Atlanta Falcons in 1977.

JETS 26, SAINTS 20EAST RUTHERFORD,

N.J. (AP) — Nick Folk remained perfect this season by kicking four fi eld goals, Rex Ryan’s defense held Drew Brees and the high-scoring Saints to six points in the second half, and New York had seven plays of at least 19 yards in an upset of New Orleans.

Ryan is now 7-3 against his brother, Rob, and the Jets (5-4) maintained their string of alternating wins and losses. They tied the 2005 New England Patriots for the longest such string to begin a season, according to STATS.

Folk is 23 for 23 on fi eld goals and 14 of 14 on extra points.

Interceptions by Demario Davis and Antonio Cromartie highlighted New York’s solid defensive performance, and former Saints running back Chris Ivory rushed for 139 yards and a touchdown.

New Orleans (6-2) got two touchdown catches from Jimmy Graham, giving him 10 this season.

BROWNS 24, RAVENS 18

CLEVELAND (AP) — Jason Campbell threw three touchdown passes — two to Davone Bess — and the Browns ended an 11-game losing streak against Baltimore.

Campbell’s 3-yard pass to Bess on fourth down with three minutes left helped the Browns (4-5) seal their fi rst win over Baltimore since 2007.

The Ravens (3-5) lost their third straight and didn’t win in the week following a bye for the fi rst time in six tries under coach John Harbaugh.

Baltimore’s Joe Flacco had a pair of TD passes to rookie Marlon Brown. Flacco fi nished 24 of 41 for 250 yards.

Making his second straight start after Brandon Weeden was benched, Campbell completed 23 of 35 passes for 262 yards. The nine-year veteran was at his best in the closing minutes, when the Browns ran 6:30 off the clock to fi nish off the Ravens, who have lost four of fi ve.

PATRIOTS 55, STEELERS 31

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Tom Brady threw for season highs of 432 yards and four touchdowns, Rob Gronkowski had a career-high nine receptions and the Patriots racked up the most points ever scored against Pittsburgh.

Brady had 252 yards passing in the fi rst half, more than he had in fi ve of his other eight games for New England (7-2).

New England piled up 610 yards overall, third most in team history.

Three Patriots had more than 100 yards receiving, Gronkowski with 143, Aaron Dobson with 130 and Danny Amendola with 122.

Pittsburgh (2-6) wasted a solid performance by Ben Roethlisberger, who threw for 400 yards and four touchdowns with two interceptions.

COWBOYS 27, VIKINGS 23

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Tony Romo threw for 337 yards and two touchdowns, including the go-ahead score to Dwayne Harris with 35 seconds left, and the Cowboys beat the Vikings.

Romo’s 7-yard pass to Harris answered an 11-yard touchdown by Adrian Peterson that had given Minnesota a 23-20 lead. The East Texas kid raised on the Cowboys (5-4) had 140 yards rushing in his fi rst game at their $1.2 billion stadium.

Christian Ponder threw for a touchdown and ran for another score against his hometown team, but it wasn’t enough to avoid a fourth straight loss for the Vikings (1-7).

Jason Witten had eight catches for 102 yards and a TD for Dallas.

PANTHERS 34, FALCONS 10

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Cam Newton threw for one touchdown and ran for another to overcome a shaky start, the defense intercepted Matt Ryan three times and Carolina beat the Falcons for its fourth straight victory.

Newton had two fi rst half interceptions and wasn’t sharp on his deep balls, regularly overthrowing his receivers. Yet he bounced

back to throw for 249 yards, including a 14-yard touchdown pass to tight end Greg Olsen. He also ran for an 8-yard touchdown for the Panthers (5-3).

Fullback Mike Tolbert scored his fi fth touchdown in the last four games on a 4-yard burst and cornerback Drayton Florence intercepted Ryan and returned it 38 yards for a score to seal the win.

Ryan was 20 of 27 for 219 yards.

The Falcons (2-6) continued to struggle without Julio Jones and Roddy White. Tony Gonzalez had six catches for 81 yards and a touchdown but the Falcons were held to 78 yards rushing.

REDSKINS 30, CHARGERS 24, OT

LANDOVER, Md. (AP) — Darrel Young scored three times, including a 4-yard run in overtime that gave the Redskins a win over the Chargers.

Young stormed his way into the end zone 6:01 into the extra period, with the Redskins scoring on their fi rst drive after winning the coin toss at the end of regulation.

Washington blew a 10-point lead in the fi nal minutes of the fourth quarter, but a goal-line stand at the 1-yard line helped send the game to overtime.

Robert Griffi n III completed 23 of 32 passes for 291 yards with one interception and ran six times for 17 yards, including a 10-yard ramble that ended when he was fl ung to the turf by Thomas Keiser near the sideline.

Alfred Morris rushed 25 times for 121 yards and a score, Pierre Garcon had seven receptions for 172 yards, and the defense intercepted Philip Rivers twice as the Redskins (3-5), despite their record, remained competitive in the weak NFC East.

Rivers was 29 for 46 for 341 yards with two touchdowns for the Chargers (4-4).

TITANS 28, RAMS 21ST. LOUIS (AP) — Chris

Johnson ran for 150 yards and two touchdowns and the Titans got the best of Jeff Fisher, who coached them for 16 seasons, and the Rams.

Johnson’s 19-yard scoring run snapped a tie with 2:54 to go and came a snap after Jurrell Casey sacked and stripped quarter-back Kellen Clemens, and Derrick Morgan recovered.

The Rams (3-6) got a second straight 100-yard game from rookie Zac Stacy, who had 127 yards on 27 carries and two touchdowns.

The Titans (4-4) snapped a three-game losing streak and won after their bye against a team on short rest.

The 100-yard game was Johnson’s fi rst since Week 7 last season against Buffalo. In the previous four games, he’d totaled 110 yards.

and nobody had anything for them,” said Earnhardt, who had his fi fth runner-up fi nish this season and has been top 10 in six of the last seven Chase races.

Joey Logano fi nished third, ahead of Kenseth while Kasey Kahne, another Hendrick driver, was fi fth.

Johnson got his 66th career victory, including a record 24 wins in Chase races.

But he and crew chief Chad Knaus are now in their third season since winning their fi fth consecutive championship.

“I’ve been watching a lot of MMA fi ghting lately, and you’ll fall into a rhythm and think that somebody’s got a fi ght won, and it doesn’t end that way,” Johnson said. “It’s how this is going to be. Matt didn’t have maybe the best day, but he still fi nished fourth. This thing is going to the last lap at Homestead. It’s going to come down to mistake.”

Kenseth was running second behind Johnson for much of the fi rst half of the race before getting penalized for speeding. That dropped Kenseth to 16th place and more than 28 seconds back, though the No. 20 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota recovered for a top-fi ve fi nish.

“We were just being too aggressive. Honestly, the 48 had us … they were just dominant all weekend,” Kenseth said. “That speeding penalty got us behind us. We

defi nitely didn’t need that, but really I don’t know at the end of the day that it really affected our fi nish much.”

At Phoenix, where the Chase goes next Sunday, Johnson is a four-time winner and fi nished second in March. His average fi nishing spot of 6.4 there is signifi cantly better than the 17.2 for Kenseth, who has one victory at Phoenix and fi nished seventh there eight months ago.

“I’m still confi dent,” Kenseth said.

“I felt real good going to Phoenix last year, and I thought we were in good shape and we had a problem. I’ve never seen it this tight, so I don’t feel any better really this year than I did last year,” car owner Rick Hendrick said. “I think Jimmie has been very confi dent, but nobody has said he was unbeatable this year. Really, Matt’s been right there the whole year.”

Kenseth was still running second when Johnson pulled down pit road, a lap before Kenseth came in as the last to pit on a cycle of green-fl ag stops.

But Kenseth was caught speeding on pit road and had to serve a drive-through penalty. By time he got back on the track, he was the last car on the lead lap and about 25 seconds further behind than he had been before the two had pitted.

A caution a few laps later got Kenseth up three

spots, but more importantly tightened up the fi eld. Within a few laps after the ensuing restart, Kenseth was back in the top 10 and climbing.

By then, Kyle Busch had moved back into second, the same spot he was before a right front tire went down and put into in the outside wall on lap 57 to bring out a caution. Busch, who won the spring race in Texas, would up 13th.

When Busch went into the wall, he was between Johnson and Kenseth, who went onto pit road 1-2. The top Chase contenders didn’t exit that way.

While Johnson had a quick stop, he was second out behind polesitter Carl Edwards, who had the stall closest to the scoring line. Kenseth has an issue on his stop that dropped him to sixth.

Edwards, who had been the only three-time Cup winner at Texas, led six times for 38 times. But Edwards fi nished only 187 laps before an engine failure ended his day.

Four-time Cup champion Jeff Gordon, the other Hendrick driver, was in contention for another championship after his win a week earlier at Martinsville moved him up to a season-high third in points.

But on Lap 74, the front left tire on the No. 24 Chevrolet blew, sending Gordon high and hard into the wall between the fi rst and second turns.

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESSJosh Smith, Andre

Drummond and Josh Smith scored 15 points each Sunday night and the Detroit Pistons kept the Boston Celtics and fi rst-year coach Brad Stevens winless with an 87-77 victory.

The Pistons (2-1) trailed 65-63 early in the fourth quarter but went on a 10-0 run to take the lead for good and win their second home game in as many tries. Drummond added 12 rebounds and Brandon Jennings had 14 points in his Detroit debut.

Rookie Kelly Olynyk scored 15 points and Jordan Crawford added 13 for the Celtics (0-3).

Boston, which blew a

22-point lead in Friday’s loss to Milwaukee, trailed by as many as 15 points in the third quarter but went on a 13-0 run to take the lead.

Detroit answered with the decisive run and held on in the fi nal minutes after the Celtics cut the lead to 79-77 with less than 2 minutes to play.

Jennings, who missed most of the preseason and the fi rst two games because of a fractured jaw caused by a wisdom tooth, had a steal and got the ball to Rodney Stuckey, who made two free throws to give the Pistons some breathing room. Detroit held the Celtics scoreless the rest of the way.

The Pistons outscored

the Celtics 10-5 in the last 5 minutes of the fi rst half and took a 45-35 lead. Boston made just fi ve fi eld goals in the second quarter and had that many turnovers.

HEAT 103, WIZARDS 93LeBron James scored 25

points, Chris Bosh added 24 and the Miami Heat beat the winless Washington Wizards 103-93 on Sunday night to snap a rare two-game slide.

Dwyane Wade scored 20 points for Miami, which hasn’t dropped three straight regular-season games since Jan. 10-13, 2012. The Heat (2-2) had 32 assists on 37 fi eld goals, including on all nine of their baskets in the third quarter.

SPORTS BRIEFS•

Meyer puts title talk on holdWEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) —

Ohio State coach Urban Meyer is already installing his bye week game plan.

He wants players to stop talking about the national title quest and ignore anyone who dares to bring it up.

No, the man with two national champi-onship rings, a top-fi ve ranking and a perfect 21-0 record since coming to Columbus isn’t trying to downplay what the Buckeyes are really chasing, he’s trying to avoid this week’s one potential pitfall: Distractions.

“We have to make sure we’re not worried about anything like that,” Meyer said Saturday. “That’s the unfortunate thing about bye weeks. You let guys go for weekends and they start hearing stuff like that and we just have to come back stronger and faster.”

It’s hard to fathom the Buckeyes (9-0, 5-0 Big Ten) playing any better than they are now.

Since taking their fi rst open date, the week of Oct. 12, Ohio State has outscored Iowa, Penn State and Purdue by a combined 153-38. In its latest rout, Saturday at Purdue, the Buckeyes led 28-0 after one quarter, 42-0 at halftime and wound up handing Purdue (1-7, 0-4) its worst home loss ever. The 56-point loss equals the school’s record, matching 56-0 defeats to Iowa in 1922 and Chicago in 1907.

Florida State gains ground in AP pollingBY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

No. 3 Florida State gains ground on No. 1 Alabama and No. 2 Oregon in The Associated Press college football poll, earning four more fi rst-place votes than it did last week.

The Seminoles are coming off another easy victory against a previously unbeaten rival. Florida State beat Miami 41-14 on Saturday night and received six-fi rst-place votes from the media panel Sunday. Last month the Seminoles handed Clemson its fi rst loss.

Alabama remains No. 1 with 52 fi rst-place votes, three less than last week. Oregon received two fi rst-place votes, a loss of one for the Ducks.

Miami’s fi rst loss drops it seven spot to 14th.

Notre Dame moved back into the rankings at No. 24 and Michigan fell out after losing to Michigan State. The Spartans advance six spots to 18th.

Michigan bill would make ticket scalping legal

LANSING, Mich. (AP) — A Michigan lawmaker wants to make it legal to sell game or concert tickets above face value.

Legislation introduced last week would repeal a 1931 state law that makes it illegal to scalp tickets unless authorized by the venue or event operators. Some online ticket sites have partnerships with teams and venues.

Republican Rep. Tim Kelly of Saginaw Township says he is lining up bipartisan support for his bill. He says it’s a common-sense measure that would let the free market decide the price of a ticket.

Kelly says there’s no reason for the government to interfere in a transaction between a willing buyer and willing seller. The legislation now goes to a House committee for consideration.

Djokovic tops Ferrer in Paris Masters tennis title match

PARIS (AP) — Novak Djokovic beat defending champion David Ferrer 7-5, 7-5 Sunday to win the Paris Masters for his 17th straight match victory and sixth title of the season.

The second-seeded Serb still has a slim chance to fi nish the season ranked ahead of No. 1 Rafael Nadal. Djokovic improved to 11-5 against Ferrer, who was looking to become the fi rst player to win back-to-back Paris Masters titles.

Djokovic won the last four games in each set, rallying each time from a 5-3 defi cit. Djokovic clinched the victory when the Spaniard sent a forehand into the net. Djokovic hit 34 winners to 15 for Ferrer and won 15 of 18 net points.

Ferrer troubled Djokovic early in the match with his deep groundstrokes and hit a backhand drop shot to break for a 3-2 lead.

Pro Golf Results•

Since the research is clear and the results are obvious, why aren’t more parents involved at school? The simple question has a complex answer.

The research is conclusive. High levels of parental engagement lead to high levels of academic achievement. In fact, the power of parental involvement is so strong

that according to the Southwest Educational Development Laboratory gains in school success occur regardless of parental income or a parent’s level of academic attainment.

Eighty-seven percent of parents attend meetings at school, a 13 percent increase since 1996. However, a national survey of teachers found that “lack of parental support” is the top challenge faced in the classroom.

Why aren’t more parents involved? There are several

reasons.“A lot of parents don’t know, and they don’t know how

to say, ‘I don’t know,’” explained Dennis Bland, executive director of the Center for Leadership Development, an Indianapolis community organization teaching study and postsecondary readiness skills to low-income students and their families. Bland said many parents — especially those who did succeed in school — need instruction and encour-agement to speak up, ask questions and advocate for their student.

“We let them know that they are not alone, that there’s always something where at least one person does not have enough information,” Bland continued. “We educate parents to let them know the steps they can take to get the informa-tion they need. We give them examples of other people who were in the situations like they are, but those other people took advantage of resources, and they can do the same.”

As a result, Bland concluded, “The parents can feel empowered.”

Meanwhile, some expert educators need help translating to parents. According to Ron Mirr, president of the Center for Active Family Engagement, “What (the educators) see makes great sense to them. They understand all of the lingo. They understand the jargon. But what is it like for the parent who has not been in the school? Is it really understandable to a stranger?

“We try to help (educators) see what their school looks like to someone outside the system.”

Mirr’s Family Engagement Assessment — which surveys parents, teachers and administrators — now is being implemented in Hoosier schools by the Indiana Partnerships Center. Executive director Jackie Garvey asserted, “Unless you ask families, you’re not going to know (how to get them involved).”

Sheryl Stanton, who leads parent engagement efforts for Huntingburg Elementary School, added that she discerns a family’s needs before persuading parents to become more connected. “Housing, health, hunger,” Stanton said, listing common family challenges. “We often need to get to the needs in the home fi rst before (parents) can address academics.”

Linking families to supportive services, and partnering with community organizations like the Center for Leader-ship Development are included on an extensive list of parent involvement strategies recommended by the National PTA.

Other recommendations include asking involved parents to invite their neighbors to become active at school and conducting “back to school” walks through the community to meet parents and encourage their participation. The PTA also suggests creating a family resource center in the school where parents can access computers, take adult education or GED classes or simply wait for their next parent-teacher conference.

The PTA encourages schools to host workshops on parenting skills including how parents can support school work at home. Educators should contact parents with positive news about their children instead of only communicating bad news, and spring orientation sessions can help parents start preparing for the next school year.

Under a new state law, school districts can volunteer to be assessed by the Indiana Department of Education to evaluate and, where necessary, improve parental involve-ment strategies. The DOE also can designate a school as an “Indiana Family Friendly School.”

Democratic state Sen. Tim Skinner of Terre Haute, a former teacher, said, “This is a great opportunity to distin-guish schools in their communities for reaching out to families and trying to get them more involved.”

The research summarized by the Southwest Educational Development Laboratory reveals that successful parent engagement efforts build trusting, collaborative relation-ships between parents and educators, recognize and address family needs and embrace a philosophy of partnership.

Or as Dennis Bland stated succinctly, “Show them how much you care.”

Halloween started as a religious observance

To the editor:We just fi nished celebrating

Halloween — a busy and expensive holiday in America second only to Christmas.

Halloween started as a religious observance. The original Celtic “Samhain” (end-of-summer celebration) began around 800 B.C.

Celts, who lived in the United Kingdom, Western Europe and parts of Turkey, believed a “veil” separating this world from the next was thinnest at the end of October. So this was the prime time for deceased souls to escape their after-life and return to earth — often living in animals (especially black cats).

Samhain became the traditional eve to offer food sacrifi ces to the Celtic gods. Groups gathered in early evening and went from door to door on their unlighted streets collecting food. They often dressed in scary costumes to frighten away evil spirits that might be lurking in the shadows. Later that night they would assemble with their collected food, throw it on huge bonfi res and send it heavenward to their hungry gods.

In the 7th century, Pope Boniface IV proclaimed Nov. 1 as All Saints’ Day to recognize the many saints (which by then already exceeded the number of days in a year). Since hallow meant saint in England, the evening before All Saints Day became All Hallows’ Eve, then later Hallowe’en, and fi nally

Halloween. Pope Boniface chose the Nov. 1 date to steer Christians away from the Celtic Samhain celebration.

We know such superstitions as Samhain are beliefs in beings, stories and events for which there is little or no evidence, at least as reported. Superstitions are more common among people having limited or very narrow educations, and are often tied to religious wishes and fears about an after-life in places that still remain mysteriously unprovable. But because of three powerful human instincts — survival, greed and fear — beliefs in spirits and an afterlife remain very popular.

In some cases believing in eternity works favorably, causing some to become kinder and more caring toward others. But such beliefs also have divided and/or destroyed millions of innocent people. Why? Because feelings of self-righteousness and martyrdom often spring from such beliefs, causing many to think they should convert or kill others who don’t believe as they do.

For most of my 80 years I have believed in a paradise. Yet I can accept that paradise may be just a selfi sh dream. Do I worry that if I DON’T believe I might go to hell? Nope. I have discovered that overcoming anger and hatred, learning to be kind to ALL others, and sharing what little I have with others has given me the most joyful living experience I could hope for. I am confi dent the God that Jesus described — a kind, loving and

forgiving Father — does not frown on me or anyone else just because we are unafraid to seek the truth, to ask questions or refuse to believe in ancient superstitions and other un-Godlike irrational, magical events.

Beliefs in an after-life should never prevent us from loving others. We should open our hearts to all and understand they, too, have learned to believe as they do. All of us can overcome our fears and superstitions and become productive citizens capable of making this world a little better place for everyone. Then if we die and discover there isn’t an afterlife? You can rest assured as you approach that fi nal day you’ll have no fears or regrets — knowing you made this world a little safer, kinder and better place for some of God’s other children to enjoy.

WASHINGTON — Ms. Know-It-All, the anonymous political advice columnist whose identity remains a popular Georgetown cocktail party guessing game, is also known to live up to her title now and then. Herewith a correspondence worth sharing.

Dear Ms. Know-It-All:It appears that the witch

Hillary Rodham Clinton is going to run for president. It makes my skin crawl to think of her and that husband of hers back in our White House, not to mention that they are Marxists like Obama and want to turn us into Sweden, for God’s sake. It’s not too soon for Republi-cans to marshal our forces for a little shock and awe when the Hildebeast fi nally announces. How can we stop her?

Signed, A proud, God-fearing, right-wing wacko-bird.

Dear Wacko:Thank you for what seems to be

your sincere interest in participating in our country’s health and welfare. And thanks, too, for contacting me because you need to hear what I have to say. You might want to sit down for this. If you’re on anti-anxiety medication, all the better.

You are, how shall I put this? Idiot seems too strong, so I’ll go with foolish little man. “The witch Hillary”? Yes, I saw the little photo on Drudge with Hillary wearing a witch’s hat. Clever! And on Halloween, too. The headline suggested that someone somewhere should be upset that she earned close to $500,000 for two speeches for Goldman Sachs.

I do believe I detect the scent of envy. Is that the best you’ve got? I don’t think I heard you folks express outrage when Sarah Palin was paid $100,000

a clip, and she was just a short-term governor and a failed vice-presidential candidate. Ronald Reagan once was paid $2 million for two 20-minute speeches by a Japanese manufacturing company.

You get my drift. Speakers are commodities and they earn what they’re worth to an audience. A former U.S. senator and secretary of state who also was once fi rst lady is not a coupon item.

To the larger point, you must stop witchifying this woman. She has one of the best resumes in the country, certainly compared to anyone who might challenge her. This doesn’t speak to her person-ality, which seems to aggravate a certain kind of male, or to her involvement with issues that have inspired legitimate criticism. But in hurling personal insults, you

are hurting only yourself. The bully always looks worse than the bullied. In so doing, you not only seem juvenile but look petty and bereft of substantive arguments. While you consider this assessment, imagine how much Hillary must welcome such schoolboy taunts.

Pivot now to your less-than-sterling record with women voters. Does the “war on women” ring a bell? I understand that this was mainly a fi ction created by the Obama campaign (brilliant, I must say), but you had some help from a couple of star witnesses regarding “legitimate rape” and God’s will when a rape victim becomes pregnant. Why, do tell, would you be surprised that women who value their autonomy in making the most personal decisions might view such statements as “war”?

My point: Don’t attack a woman as a woman. No allusions to awful female characters or anything to do with her appearance. If you have to resort to commentary about someone’s personal attributes, assuming they’re not wearing

ridiculous headgear, you are signaling that you have no arrows in your quiver.

This is especially relevant to women candidates for two reasons. One, men beating up a woman summons a number of associations that only make women recoil in revulsion. Two, while you were hunkering in your duck blind, women the world over were getting busy organizing and helping each other. There’s a global movement afoot in which Hillary Clinton has played a crucial part. If you attack her, all but the most rigidly ideological women will circle the wagons and you will lose. On the bright side, you won’t have to worry anymore about birth control. Your own, that is.

At the moment, though Hillary’s ratings have slipped a bit, the GOP holds the distinction of being the fi rst party in polling history to have a negative rating over 50 percent (53), according to a Wall Street Journal/NBC News survey. Thus, my advice: Marshal your sharpest thinkers and create a product that people want. If you can’t win with the strength of your arguments and the clarity of your vision, you can at least lose with your dignity intact — a decent start to a much-needed Republican Reformation. Good luck.

Sci-fi fl ick is tops with movie-goers

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Weekend moviegoers chose sci-fi over slapstick.

“Ender’s Game” scored the No. 1 slot at the weekend box offi ce, earning $28 million in its opening weekend and sending “Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa” into second place, according to studio estimates Sunday.

Based on the novel by Orson Scott Card, “Ender’s Game” stars Asa Butterfi eld and Harrison Ford as interga-lactic soldiers.

Paramount’s candid-camera comedy starring Johnny Knoxville disguised as an old man brought in an additional $20.5 million in its second weekend, with a domestic total reaching more than $62 million. It also picked up $6 million in international ticket sales.

CBS Films’ “Last Vegas,” featuring an all-star cast of silver screen veterans including Michael Douglas, Robert De Niro, Morgan Freeman and Kevin Kline, opened in third place, with $16.5 million.

Relativity Media’s 3-D animated kiddie fl ick “Free Birds,” with characters voiced by Owen Wilson, Woody Harrelson and Amy Poehler, debuted in the fourth spot, with $16.2 million.

“Gravity” is still holding in the fi fth position. It banked $13.1 million.

Alabama airport terminal evacuated

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — The terminal at Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport has been evacuated because of a threat.

The airport’s Facebook page said the terminal had been evacuated Sunday because of a threat but didn’t elaborate.

FBI spokesman Paul Daymond says the agency’s bomb technicians are working with local police to investigate.

The airport website said several fl ights into the airport were being diverted.

Police spokesman Johnny Williams said he and other offi cers were on their way to the airport Sunday evening but didn’t have any details on what prompted the evacuation. A call and email to the Birmingham Airport Authority wasn’t immediately returned.

WBRC-TV reported that the station’s meteorol-ogist was on the scene and confi rmed that several planes from multiple airlines were parked away from the gates.

Militants kill 30 in Nigerian convoy

YOLA, Nigeria (AP) — Suspected Islamic militants attacked a wedding convoy in northeast Nigeria and killed more than 30 people including the groom, a state government spokesman said Sunday.

Military spokesman Lt. Col. Muhammed Dole said only fi ve people were killed in Saturday’s attack on the highway between Gama and Gwoza towns in Borno state. That road runs alongside forests that are a known hideout of Islamic militants of the Boko Haram terrorist network.

Philly newspapers could be bought

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Multimillionaire businessman and philanthropist Raymond Perelman is hoping to buy the Philadelphia Inquirer, but he doesn’t expect the current owners to sell.

Perelman said his goal is to end the strife between two factions that are battling in court for control of the company’s three media properties, the Inquirer reported Sunday.

“Something has to happen,” Perelman told the paper. “The feuding can’t continue.”

The 96-year-old Perelman has pursued The Inquirer, the Philadelphia Daily News, and Philly.com before.

KPCToday’s Today’s

WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House and the leaders of the intelligence committee in Congress are rejecting National Security Agency-contractor Edward Snowden’s plea for

clemency.“Mr.

Snowden violated U.S. law,” White House adviser Dan Pfeiffer said Sunday about the former

systems-analyst-turned-fu-gitive who has temporary asylum in Russia.

“He should return to the U.S. and face justice,” Pfeiffer said, adding when

pressed that no offers for clemency were being discussed.

Snowden made the plea in a letter given to a German politician and released Friday. In his one-page typed letter, he asks for clemency for charges over allegedly leaking classi-fi ed information about the NSA to the news media. “”Speaking the truth is not a crime,” Snowden wrote.

Snowden’s revelations, including allegations that the U.S. has eavesdropped on allies including German Chancellor Angela Merkel, have led to calls by allies to cease such spying, and moves by Congress to overhaul U.S. surveillance laws and curb the agency’s

powers.But head of the Senate

Intelligence Committee said if Snowden had been a true whistle-blower, he could have reported it to her committee privately.

“That didn’t happen, and now he’s done this enormous disservice to our country,” said Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif. “I think the answer is no clemency.”

The chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Rep. Mike Rogers, called clemency for Snowden a “terrible idea.”

“He needs to come back and own up,” said Rogers, R-Mich. “If he believes there’s vulnerabilities in the systems he’d like to disclose, you don’t do it

by committing a crime that actually puts soldiers’ lives at risk in places like Afghanistan.”

Rogers contended that Snowden’s revelations had caused three terrorist organi-zations to change how they communicate.

Both lawmakers addressed word that President Barack Obama did not realize Merkel’s personal phone was being tapped.

Rogers implied that he didn’t believe the president, or European leaders who claimed they were shocked by Snowden’s allegations.

“I think there’s going to be some best actor awards coming out of the White House this year

and best supporting actor awards coming out of the European Union,” he said “Some notion that … some people just didn’t have an understanding about how we collect information to protect the United States to me is wrong.”

Feinstein said she didn’t know what the president knew, but said she intended to conduct a review of all intelligence programs to see if they were going too far.

“Where allies are close, tapping private phones of theirs … has much more political liability than probably intelligence viability,” she said.

Feinstein and Rogers have taken grief for defending the NSA.

Offi cials: No clemency for Snowden

John S. Pistole, left, Administrator of Transportation Security Administration and Ana Hernandez, center, wife of TSA agent Gerardo Hernandez, victim at LAX shooting, before a press conference in Porter Ranch, Calif. on Saturday.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The gunman charged in the deadly shooting at Los Angeles International Airport lay bloodied and handcuffed on the fl oor of Terminal 3 after being gunned down by police, but he replied to critical questions that helped authorities lock down the scene.

Paul Ciancia, 23, was hauled away moments later on a stretcher and later heavily sedated for medical reasons, but not before he told investigators he had acted alone when he opened fi re in the terminal, a law enforce-ment offi cial who has been briefed on the investigation told The Associated Press on Sunday.

Ciancia, an unemployed motorcycle mechanic who recently moved to Los Angeles from the small, blue-collar town of Pennsville, N.J., also told police a friend had dropped him at LAX on Friday just moments before he shot a Transportation Security Administration offi cer

at point-blank range and wounded three other people, including two more TSA workers.

Offi cials do not believe that the friend knew of the shooter’s plans. Ciancia arrived at the airport in a black Hyundai and was not a ticketed passenger.

Ciancia was under 24-hour armed guard at the hospital Sunday after being shot four times, the offi cial said. He was sedated for medical reasons, the offi cial said, adding that one gunshot to the mouth blew a molar out of his jaw.

Ciancia is facing charges of murder of a federal offi cer and committing violence at an international airport. The charges could qualify him for the death penalty.

It was not immediately clear when he would make a fi rst court appearance given his medical condition.

In court documents and interviews, authorities spelled out a chilling chain of events, saying Ciancia walked into the airport,

pulled a .223-caliber assault rifl e from his duffel bag and fi red repeatedly at 39-year-old TSA offi cer Gerardo I. Hernandez. He turned back to see Hernandez move and returned to fi nish him off, according to surveillance video reviewed by investiga-tors.

He then fi red on two other uniformed TSA employees and an airline passenger, who all were wounded, as he moved methodically through the security checkpoint before airport police shot him as panicked travelers hid in stores and restaurants.

It wasn’t clear why Ciancia targeted TSA offi cers, but what he left behind indicated he was willing to kill any of them that crossed his path, authori-ties revealed.

The shooter’s duffel bag contained a handwritten letter signed by Ciancia stating he’d “made the conscious decision to try to kill” multiple TSA employees and that he wanted to “instill fear in their traitorous minds.”

LAX shooter told cops, at scene, he was acting alone

TORONTO (AP) — Toronto Mayor Rob Ford apologized Sunday for being “hammered” in public and acknowledged the need to curb his drinking, but the mayor of Canada’s largest city didn’t address allegations of drug use and said he will remain in his job despite mounting pressure to resign.

“I’m going to weather this storm,” Ford said.

Ford made his remarks on his local weekly radio show at a time when he is facing growing pressure to resign after police said they had obtained a copy of a video that appears to show him

puffi ng on a crack cocaine pipe. Ford didn’t address the contents of the tape, saying he cannot comment on a tape he hasn’t seen.

“I just got to maybe slow down on my drinking,” Ford said.

Ford acknowledged making “mistakes” and that he can’t change the past, but vowed “to ride the storm out.”

“I want to move forward but to move forward I also have to make changes in my life which I will assure I will do,” Ford said.

Ford declined to take a leave of absence or resign.

“I sincerely apologize,

there’s absolutely no excuse, no one to blame but myself,” Ford said. “I am going to fi ght like no one has seen before to win the next election.”

Ford said he shouldn’t’ have been drunk in public when he appeared at the Taste of the Danforth street festival in August.

“That was pure stupidity,” Ford said. “I shouldn’t have got hammered down at the Danforth. If you are going to have a couple of drinks, you stay at home and that’s it. You don’t make a public spectacle of yourself,” Ford said.

Toronto mayor apologizes

NEW YORK (AP) — The race to elect the next mayor of New York City, which comes to an end Tuesday, in some ways got its start on Oct. 23, 2008.

On that day, after rancorous debate, the City Council voted to overturn term limits, allowing Mayor Michael Bloomberg to get another four years to shape the nation’s largest city.

But the aftershocks from that decision shaped much of what has followed in the topsy-turvy campaign to select Bloomberg’s successor, a marathon marked by heated debates about hot-button issues, larger-than-life charac-ters and stunning political implosions. And, as voters get set to go to the polls, Public Advocate Bill de Blasio has emerged from the chaotic fi eld poised to be the fi rst Democrat chosen to lead the city since 1989.

Every poll taken since the September primary has de Blasio with a commanding lead over Republican nominee Joe Lhota, a one-time deputy mayor to Rudolph Giuliani. An unabashed liberal, de Blasio said he will usher in a new

era of progressive governing by raising taxes on the rich, improving police and

community relations and reaching out to those who feel slighted by what they believe were 12 years of Bloomberg’s Manhat-tan-centric

policies.More than any of his

rivals for the Democratic nomination, de Blasio positioned himself as the cleanest break from the Bloomberg years, an argument that resonated with many suffering from what has become known as Bloomberg fatigue.

“An awful lot of what has happened can be traced to that decision to give Bloomberg another four years,” said Jeanne Zaino, a New York University political science professor. “The third term is widely viewed as not as successful, but no matter how wonderful a mayor you are, people get tired of seeing you in their living room every night.”

NYC mayor’s race closes out Tuesday

CAIRO (AP) — Egyptian authorities on Sunday moved the trial of the ousted Islamist president to a new location at another end of the capital, a move apparently aimed at thwarting mass rallies planned by the Muslim Brotherhood in his support when it opens today.

Facing charges of incite-ment of violence with 14 others in connection to clashes last December,

Mohammed Morsi has been held at an undisclosed location since his July 3 overthrow by the military. The trial will be his fi rst

public appearance since then, possibly enfl aming an already tense political atmosphere as animosity between Morsi’s Islamist supporters and Egypt’s security establish-ment steadily deepens.

“For (the Islamists) it will be like taking revenge on the police and the military,” said lawyer Khaled Abu-Bakr, representing three victims of the December clashes. “I

really hope that no blood is spilled tomorrow,” he added.

The change of the venue was announced at a tumultuous news confer-ence by appeals court judge Medhat Idris, who threw his statement in the air and stormed out of the room when Morsi supporters shouted in protest at the change.

He later told The Associ-ated Press by telephone that the trial will not be aired live. Other details about the proceedings, including where Morsi will be held during them, remain secret.

A security offi cial said Morsi will probably be taken back to the place he has been held instead of being transferred to a normal prison after the fi rst session, for fear his supporters would turn the prison into a “focal point of endless protests.”

The new venue is a heavily fortifi ed police academy in an eastern Cairo suburb, already used for the trial of another former president — Hosni Mubarak — toppled in a 2011 uprising. He is accused of failing to stop the killing of protesters.

DEAR DOCTOR K: I have iron defi ciency anemia. What could have caused it? Also, my doctor wants me to take a daily 325 mg iron sulfate supplement. Is that dangerous? Th e recommended daily dose of iron is much lower.

DEAR READER: Most iron in the body is stored in red blood cells. If you don’t have enough iron, it can lead to a low red blood cell count. Doctors call this iron-defi -ciency anemia, and it’s more common in women.

Most people get enough iron in their diet; it is plentiful in a variety of foods, including red meat, chicken liver, lentils, beans and spinach. It’s uncommon for a lack of iron in the diet to be the only cause of iron defi ciency anemia.

Some people fail to absorb the iron in their food because of digestive problems, such as celiac

disease. Certain kinds of stomach or intestinal surgery can also interfere with iron absorption.

Loss of blood is the leading cause of iron defi ciency. Normally, red blood cells live about 120 days and then die. But the iron inside them gets transferred to new young red blood cells. In contrast, when people lose blood, they lose a lot of iron.

Heavy menstrual bleeding is a common cause of iron defi ciency in women. When I see a premenopausal

woman with iron defi ciency anemia, iron loss because of menstrual bleeding is the diagnosis that I think is most likely. But sometimes you can be fooled — another condition entirely may be the cause.

What other conditions? A doctor always needs to check to see if there is blood loss in the gut or in the urinary tract. Many diff erent gut conditions, including irritation of the wall of the esophagus (the swallowing tube), stomach ulcers, or colon polyps or cancers are always a possibility.

Th ese conditions may not produce blood that a person recognizes. Th e leaking of blood can be so slow that there is no visual sign of it in a bowel movement. Testing for what is called fecal occult blood can detect blood that is invisible. If that test is positive, further testing of the gastrointestinal tract is

necessary.Conditions such as

kidney stones or cancers of the kidney or bladder also can produce a slow leakage of blood into the urine and out of the body. It may be invisible, but examining the urine under a microscope can show the red blood cells.

One of my patients developed iron defi ciency anemia because she frequently donated blood. If you’re a frequent blood donor, stop donating blood for now.

Th e best supplement to treat iron defi ciency anemia is what your doctor recommended, iron sulfate. Th e dose recommended is fi ne — your body needs more than the usual daily dose.

DEAR ABBY: Recently I took a cue from my sister and her career Navy husband. Th ey always make it a point to thank anyone they see in military uniform for his/her service and sacrifi ce. I am somewhat shy by nature. But I am so thankful to these men and women who fi ght for our continued freedom that I stepped out of my comfort zone to verbalize my feelings and encourage those who cross my path. Abby, the fi rst and second thank-yous I off ered did not go well. Th e fi rst gentleman I spoke to gave me a scornful look and proceeded to tell me I should be thankful for ALL military personnel — not just him — and especially those who gave the ultimate sacrifi ce of their lives. I felt 3 inches tall and very embarrassed, but I chalked it up to perhaps

having said thanks the wrong way, so I tried again. Th is time I thanked a World War II veteran. I recognized him as a vet by the emblem

on the bill of the cap he was wearing. His response was, “Didn’t have a choice — it was the draft or jail.” Maybe I’m not cut out for verbal-izing my thankful-ness, or maybe I’m doing it wrong. Now

my shyness has taken over again. Should I silently off er a prayer of thanks instead? — TWICE BITTEN IN WASHINGTON DEAR TWICE BITTEN: Th e fi rst person you spoke to may have lost

some friends recently, which is why he spoke to you the way he did. Your response to the service member’s statement should have been: “Of course you are right. And I AM grateful. But you are here, which is why I’m expressing my thanks to YOU.” Period. As to the WWII vet who entered the service one jump ahead of the law — give him marks for honesty in admitting his reason for entering the military was less than patriotic. But please don’t stop off ering thanks. What you experienced was some bad beginner’s luck, but each time you express your gratitude, the odds will improve.
