Boehner to Obama: No debt hike without concessions DONNA CASSATA MARTIN CRUTSINGER Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States moved closer to the possibility of the first-ever default on the government’s debt Sunday as Speaker John Boehner adamantly ruled out a House vote on a straightforward bill to boost the borrowing authority without concessions from President Barack Obama.

With no resolution in sight, Treasury Secretary Jack Lew warned that Congress is “playing with fire” as he called on lawmakers to quickly pass legislation re-opening the government and a measure increasing the nation’s $16.7 trillion debt limit.

The government shutdown precipitated by the budget brinkmanship entered its sixth day with hundreds of thousands of federal employees furloughed, national parks closed and an array of government services on hold.

Lew said Obama has not changed his opposition to coupling a bill to re-open the government and raise the borrowing authority with Republican demands for changes in the 3-yearold health care law and spending cuts.

Boehner insisted that

Obama must negotiate if the president wants to end the shutdown and avert a default that could trigger a financial crisis and recession that would echo the events of 2008 or worse.

The 2008 financial crisis pushed the country into the worst recession since the Great Depression of the 1930s.

“We’re not going to pass a clean debt limit increase,” the Ohio Republican said in a television interview. “I told the president, there’s no way we’re going to pass one. The votes are not in the House to pass a clean debt limit, and the president is risking default by not having a conversation with us.”

Boehner also said he lacks the votes “to pass a clean CR,” or continuing resolution, a reference to the temporary spending bill without conditions that would keep the government operating.

Democrats argue that their 200 members in the House plus close to two dozen pragmatic Republicans would back a so-called clean bill if Boehner just allowed a vote, but he remains hamstrung by his tea party-strong GOP caucus.

“Let me issue him a friendly challenge. Put it on the floor Monday or Tuesday. I would bet there are the votes to pass it,” said Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. In a series of Sunday television appearances, Lew warned that on Oct. 17, when he exhausts the bookkeeping maneuvers he has been using to keep borrowing, the threat of default would be imminent.

“I’m telling you that on the 17th, we run out of the ability to borrow, and Congress is playing with fire,” Lew said.

Lew said that while Treasury expects to have $30 billion of cash on hand on Oct. 17, that money will be quickly exhausted

in paying incoming bills given that the government’s payments can run up to $60 billion on a single day.

Treasury issued a report on Thursday detailing in stark terms what could happen if the government actually defaulted on its obligations to service the national debt.

“A default would be unprecedented and has the potential to be catastrophic,” the Treasury report said. “Credit markets could freeze, the value of the dollar could plummet, U.S. interest rates could skyrocket, the negative spillovers could reverberate around the world.”

Private economists generally agree that a default on the U.S. debt would be extremely harmful, especially if the impasse was not resolved quickly.

“If they don’t pay on the debt, that would cost us for generations to come,” said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics. He said a debt default would be a “cataclysmic” event that would roil financial markets in the United States and around the world.

Zandi said that holders of U.S. Treasury bonds would demand higher interest rates which would cost the country hundreds of billions of dollars in higher interest payments in coming years on the national debt.

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, a force in pushing Republicans to link changes to the health care law in exchange for keeping the government running, spelled out his conditions for raising the borrowing authority.

“We should look for three things. No. 1, we should look for some significant structural plan to reduce government spending. No. 2, we should avoid new taxes. And No. 3, we should look for ways See BOEHNER | 2

Twenty-five eager pupils, dressed alike in their daily uniform of matching dark blue Career Center polo shirts and blue jeans, enthusiastically probed President Todd Miller and Greg Mescher, director of planning and operations, on their product and practices at Isaiah Industries, which is more commonly known by consumers through one of their brand names, Classic Metal Roofing.

Miller said that their purpose of involvement is “to raise awareness of manufacturing in the United States,” and to dispel myths about it. “I think there is a feeling that there are fewer people coming out of school looking for manufacturing jobs because they think manufacturing is dead. They think there is no future; they think it’s prone to layoffs; it’s dirty, dangerous work,” he said.

“So the purpose is to have manufacturers open up and give tours to give a face to what manufacturing is today. And we participate in it because we really do See MANUFACTURING | 2

State Briefs Home’s Halloween pirate ship grabs attention LORAIN (AP) — Halloween has run aground early at one northern Ohio home where a pirate ship jutting out from one side of the building has passing drivers doing doubletakes and stopping to snap photos.

The builders added peeling shingles, twisted gutters and scattered bricks to create the image of a two-story wooden ship’s bow crashing through the Lorain home between the garage and front door. WEWS-TV in Cleveland reports brothers Ricky and Tony Rodriguez spent about two weeks building the elaborate decoration, topped by a pirate’s flag and costumed skeletons manning the deck.

Ricky Rodriguez’s wife, Marlene, says the rubble was realistic enough to catch the attention of a building inspector who was concerned that the family had damaged the house and was amazed to learn it was all decorative.

Drug company closing, 1,100 jobs to be lost BEDFORD (AP) — A northeast Ohio company that manufactured cancer drugs is closing, and more than 1,000 jobs will be lost.

Ben Ve n u e Laboratories Inc. said it will stop production by the end of this year.

The Bedford company says all 1,100 jobs will be phased out starting this month and continuing into next year.

The company voluntarily shut down two years ago due to quality problems at its factory. It said last October it had resumed limited drug

manufacturing and was upgrading its facilities.

Ben Venue says the investment needed to sustain production isn’t viable. It projected operating losses of about $700 million over the next five years.

Ben Venue is part of the Germany-based Boehringer Ingelheim family of companies.

Priest convicted of abuse wants acquittal CINCINNATI (AP) — A priest found guilty of taking a 10-year-old boy to West Virginia for sex is asking a federal judge to throw out the verdict or give him a new trial.

In a court filing Friday, Oct. 4, attorneys for Robert Poandl argue that the jury verdict on Sept.

20 was the result of “passion and emotion” and that no rational trier of fact would have found the priest guilty.

Prosecutors told jurors that Poandl took the boy to Spencer, W.Va., in August 1991 and raped him while visiting a church there.

Poandl’s attorneys argued at trial and in Friday’s court document that the allegations are false and that the boy wasn’t even on the trip.

No sentencing date has been set for Poandl, from the suburban Cincinnatibased Glenmary Home Missioners.

School, ACLU settle suit over Jesus portrait JACKSON (AP) — A settlement has been reached in a federal lawsuit challenging the display of a portrait of Jesus that had been in a southern Ohio school for years.

The Ohio chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union on Friday, Oct. 4, announced they have agreed to settle the lawsuit against the Jackson

City School District.

The ACLU in a statement said the agreement requires the district to permanently remove the portrait and to pay the organization damages and legal fees “totaling nearly six figures.”

The school in April said it had removed the portrait. But negotiations on the settlement stalled after it was discovered that the portrait had returned to the school lawn for a prayer meeting, and was also visible to those entering an art-storage area.

The district didn’t have an immediate comment on the settlement.

Man faces animal cruelty charges again GOSHEN (AP) — An Ohio man who was on probation for animal cruelty convictions, has pleaded not guilty to new charges of animal cruelty and failure to dispose of dead animals after cow carcasses and the bodies of four horses were found on his property.

Authorities also found starving horses, goats, sheep and a cow last week on the property in Goshen, 20 miles northeast of Cincinnati, the Wilmington News Journal reported. The starving animals were taken in by a concerned person who is caring for them, Clinton County Sheriff Ralph D. Fizer Jr. said.

Kenneth Huffaker, 56, who pleaded guilty to animal cruelty charges earlier this year, was arrested on new charges of animal cruelty and his supervised probation was revoked, authorities said.

Huffaker was released on bond, pending an Oct. 15 preliminary hearing. An attorney for him

was not named in court records, and his home phone wasn’t accepting messages Friday.

Court records show that Huffaker was on probation with conditions, including community service for The Humane Society, after pleading guilty to two counts of animal cruelty.

In that case, sheriff’s Deputy Victor Wright said four dogs were found in a crate without food or water and were standing in about 4 inches of mud mixed with feces and water.

The dogs were taken to a veterinarian and were found to be about 30 pounds underweight.

Thirteen dead animals also were found on the property, including cows, goats, alpacas, donkeys and several unknown animals, said Sgt. Robert Gates.

Man ‘car-surfing ’ falls, is run over SHAKER HEIGHTS (AP) — Police in suburban Cleveland say a man who was “carsurfing” fell from the top of a vehicle and was run over by the driver, who then crashed into a wall.

WJW-TV reports both men were taken to the hospital after the Wednesday, Oct. 2, accident in Shaker Heights, just east of Cleveland.

Updates on the extent of their injuries and their conditions weren’t provided.

Police say the driver is being charged with operating a vehicle under the influence of drugs or alcohol. They say the passenger was cited for riding outside of a vehicle.

Officials didn’t immediately release the names of the two men.

STEPHENSON GREENVILLE — Roger K. “Jack” Stephenson, 81 of Greenville, formerly of Gettysburg, passed away Friday, Oct. 4, 2013, at the Oakley House, Greenville. Jack was born in Piqua on Aug. 22, 1932, to the (late) Samuel and Erma (Roegner) Stephenson.

He was a U.S. Army veteran, serving during the Korean War, had worked as a truck driver for Preston Trucking, Lima and had previously worked for General Highway Trucking, Sidney, for 35 years. He was a member of Teamsters Local #908 Truck Drivers Union and a member of Gettysburg Lions.

Preceded in death by his parents, first wife, Alice Maxine Stephenson, in 2001; son, Ronald Raikes; and numerous brothers and sisters. Jack is survived by his wife, Evelyn Keller of Greenville; son and daughter-in-law, Tabb

K. and Jill Stephenson of Gettysburg; three grandchildren, Amber and David Ross of Horatio, Tabb Stephenson Jr. “T.J.” of Piqua, Max Stephenson of Gettysburg; great-granddaughter, Gracee Hall; brother and sisterin-law, Donald and Lois Stephenson of Piqua; sister, Mary Ellen Stephenson of Piqua; five stepchildren, Julia, Gail, Craig, Scott, Kent and their families; numerous nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.

Funeral service will be at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, Oct. 9, at the StockerFraley Funeral Home, Bradford.

Interment will be in Gettysburg Cemetery with Military Honors provided by the VETS (Veteran Elite Tribute Squad). The family will receive friends 5-8 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 8, at the funeral home.

Manufacturing From page 1 believe in manufacturing; we believe it’s still a driving force in our economy.”

During the lengthy tour, which highlighted the production process from receipt of raw material through the final stage of packaging, Career Center instructor of electronics application Jim Weaver acknowledged the importance of the students being able to see firsthand the things they have learned about in class being put into practice.

“A lot of my students go on to become engineers, so for them as an engineer, learning this process is very important. What does an engineer need to do to engineer a good product today? (By coming to the factory) they know what is out there and that it is real,” Weaver explained.

Sidney High School student Alex Cole, 17, who plans to go on to major in robotics engineering in college said, “I really like the Career Center. It has really opened up my passions to electronics and gives me a real clear view of where I want to go with my life after high school. I felt like it was a really good tour. It really opened up my eyes to what manufacturing really is in America these days.

I never saw what a factory was really like until today.

It has given me a better view as to what the industry is like when you get out there.”

Pre-engineering and design technologies instructor Deb Luellen said that her students are preparing to go on into any area of engineering. She explained the significance of the students touring industries “because they really need to see the connection between the manu-

facturing and engineering.”

“Engineering used to be in an office, and now it’s not. It’s on the floor working with the machinist; it’s being very much a part of what’s happening, and so we want them to understand that there’s lots of levels of engineering, and so we want them to be prepared to do everything in that loop,” Luellen said.

“And so they have been looking forward to this for weeks.”

Piqua High School student, Logan Walters, 17, plans to pursue engineering in college, but is still undecided on what field.

“I really loved the tour and what we learned. “It was a great tour; one of the better ones I’ve been on. I thought that it was really cool to see how the machines work,” Walters said.

“In my class we do a lot of how things work, and stuff, and just the way they (the machinists) used gravity to do the pressing and the way they pulled the metal and cut the metal was just very cool for me.

It (the tour) benefits me to know what actually happens to the machines and how they actually run.”

Miller and Mescher both were very encouraging toward the students going as far as offering to mentor them for future interviews and suggesting they inquire about summer work with them once they turn 18.

As such, they truly demonstrate their business philosophy to “be just and fair to all, do what is right and good, for I coming to rescue you,” taken from Isaiah 56:1 NLT. For information about Isaiah Industries’ products or job opportunities, visit www.isaiahindustries.com.

Boehner From page 1 mitigate the harms from ‘Obamacare,’” Cruz said, describing the debt ceiling issue as one of the “best leverage the Congress has to rein in the executive.”

Some Republicans, such as Rep. Steve King of Iowa, dismiss the warnings about a government default as an exaggeration, suggesting U.S. credit won’t collapse and calling the talk “a lot of false demagoguery.”

Asked how the standoff might end, Boehner said Sunday on ABC that he was uncertain: “If I knew, I’d tell you.”

The Ohio Republican added that Obama can call him any time to start negotiations to end the shutdown. “He knows what my phone number is,” Boehner said.

Privately, administration officials say they don’t think Boehner and Senate

Republican leader Mitch McConnell want a default as they realize it will be far worse than a shutdown, but the two don’t know how to avoid it or when to try.

In one promising development, a large chunk of the furloughed federal work force is headed back to the Pentagon on Monday, and those who remain at home or are working without paychecks are a step closer to getting back pay once the partial government shutdown ends.

Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel ended the argument for most Pentagon civilian employees, ordering nearly all 350,000 back on the job. Hagel said he based his decision on a Pentagon interpretation of a law called the Pay Our Military Act.

Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., with a 100 percent conservative rating, was among those Cruz had compared to Nazi appeasers. Coburn gently chided Cruz. “It is the disappointment that we have put a short-term goal with lousy tactics ahead of being honest with the American people,” Coburn said.

Congress shut down the government to stop Obamacare, which automatically went into effect Oct. 1 anyway. And Republicans should take note: The online delays signal a strong demand for Obamacare.

Polls show the public about evenly divided between favorable and unfavorable views of Obamacare — except they like the provisions of Obamacare. Latenight comedian Jimmy Fallon did a “person on the street” interview, asking if people preferred “Obamacare” or the Affordable Care Act — which are the same thing. Apparently, a lot of people don’t know that.

Also, most Americans, including Republicans, don’t want a shutdown over Obamacare. A Quinnipiac University poll finds only 42 percent of Republicans support a shutdown, while 90 percent of Democrats and 74 percent of independents oppose a shutdown over the issue.

The American people are not fooled. They want House Republicans to stop holding the federal budget and the good faith and credit of the United States hostage over what is now, as John Boehner himself said last year, “the law of the land.” Congress should do its duty: put aside the reckless rhetoric, pay the bills and fund the people’s government.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The latest victims of the government’s partial shutdown: policy wonks, politicians and TV talking heads who are losing their monthly opportunity to dissect the jobs report issued by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The ritual unfolds every month: The jobs report comes out, and Wall Street panics or exults. Political advocates spin. And economic analysts crowd cable-TV to offer us their insights.

It happens the first Friday of the month at 8:30 a.m.

Eastern time.

Except this Friday.

The government’s partial shutdown means the September jobs report is being postponed. The workers who produce it aren’t deemed “essential,” which is why they’re among the 800,000 federal employees being furloughed.

They aren’t doctors treating wounded soldiers at military hospitals or air traffic controllers ensuring that planes take off and land safely.

They’re statisticians.

Yet for a subculture of Americans whose professional lives are tied to the monthly jobs report, its absence may be disorienting.

“Economists and journalists will have some withdrawal pains,” suggests Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics and a fixture on cable-TV gabfests after the jobs reports are released.

Diane Swonk, chief economist at Mesirow Financial and another regular television presence on the morning of the jobs reports, jokes that she won’t have to get up so early Friday. Yet she’ll feel the loss.

The jobs report is a “flashlight into the dense forest of global economic information,” Swonk says. “We’ve turned the flashlight off.”

Wall Street traders whose computers are normally primed to spring into action milliseconds after the report is issued will have to manage without it.

“Most investors I talk to are taking a wait-and-see attitude,” says Jack Ablin, chief investment officer at BMO Private Bank. “I don’t think anybody is crying in their beer.”

Wall Street bases its buyand-sell decisions on countless data — from economic growth in the United States and abroad to corporate profits, manufacturing output and home sales. But the jobs report tends to occupy center stage. Job growth drives consumer spending, which fuels most of the U.S. economy.

In-law will be outlaw if she pursues relationship with Dad

n Contract Bridge — By Steve Becker

AP Photo/Shore Fire Media

This image released by Shore Fire Media shows the cast of “We Will Rock You.” Boasting an original futuristic story by British comedian and writer Ben Elton, the show contains 24 of Queen’s biggest songs including “Another One Bites the Dust,” “Crazy Little Thing Called Love,” “We Are The Champions,” “Bohemian Rhapsody” and “We Will Rock You.” The tour launches in Baltimore on Oct. 15 and hits more than a dozen states and Canada over the next year, ending next summer in Los Angeles.

They will, they will rock you Queen musical to go on tour MARK KENNEDY AP Drama Writer

NEW YORK (AP) — A musical built around songs by the rock band Queen has found a kind of magic abroad, charming European audiences for years. Now, its producers hope another group will finally go gaga for it — Americans.

Eleven years after “We Will Rock You” debuted in London and spawned tours in Australia, Japan, Spain, Russia, South Africa and Italy, its first North American tour kicks off this month.

“We decided to take our time,” says producer Jane Rosenthal, whose Tribeca Theatrical Productions, which she co-founded with Robert De Niro, will put the show on the road. “We decided to let America wait.”

Boasting an original futuristic story by British comedian and writer Ben Elton, the show contains 24 of Queen’s biggest songs including “Another One Bites the Dust,” ”Crazy Little Thing Called Love,” ”We Are the Champions,” ”Bohemian Rhapsody” and “We Will Rock You.” Elton worked with the surviving members of Queen and the family of the late singer Freddie Mercury to write a

Solution

love story in a dystopian future studded with “perhaps the most theatrical rock music of all time.”

The tour launches in Baltimore on Oct. 15 and hits more than a dozen states and Canada over the next year, ending next summer in Los Angeles. It will star Brian Justin Crum and Ruby Lewis.

Set in a future when musical instruments are banned, individuality is taboo and everything is controlled by an international corporation, a small band of rebels wants to break free from the mindless dance music and celebrity gossip — called “gaga” — that’s imposed from above.

A hero emerges — Galileo Figaro — who teams up with a girl — Scaramouche (both names are lifted from the lyrics to the rock opera tune “Bohemian Rhapsody”) — and together they seek to resurrect real rock music. Songs include “Radio Ga Ga,” ”Under Pressure” and “A Kind of Magic.”

“This is a way of taking this spectacular deep and rich catalog and being able to tell stories with it,” says Rosenthal. “It defies any demographic.”

Critics in England

were less than kind when the show began its run in 2002, with the Times saying it was “so awful, it’s almost entertaining” and the Guardian calling it “ruthlessly manufactured.” The Daily Mirror went so far as to say that “Ben Elton should be shot for this risible story.”

But “We Will Rock You” simply wouldn’t bite the dust. The show is still on in London’s West End and has spawned several tours through 17 countries, playing to over 15 million people. A strippeddown version opened in Las Vegas in 2004 but lasted only a year.

Elton, who helped write the groundbreaking TV comedies “Mr. Bean” and “The Young Ones,” was initially approached by the surviving members of Queen to help them write a musical about Mercury. He immediately thought that was a terrible idea.

Instead, inspired by the Legend of King Arthur, “The Matrix” and George Orwell’s “1984,” Elton penned a satirical story that tweaks corporate show business for sucking away individuality. He has been able to update certain sections of the script to stay technologically relevant over

the years, adding jokes about Facebook or Twitter as they got topical.

“Because it’s a satire and a comedy, the terms of reference change,” he says. “I’ll probably bang a twerking gag in for a month. It won’t last long. The show can contain that.”

For the U.S. tour, he’s also replaced the song “One Vision” with “You’re My Best Friend” at the top of Act 2.

“There’s an opportunity to reinvent the show and we take it,” Elton says.

Rosenthal says “We Will Rock You” was ahead of its time and now with gizmos like auto-tune and Google Glass, the time in America may be ripe.

She also hopes to show Yanks that Queen’s music is more than the stadium-rocking “We Will Rock You” and “We Are the Champions.”

“The U.S. knows probably 11 to 14 songs,” she says. “We forget that they wrote ‘Who Wants to Live Forever’ or ‘No-One but You (Only the Good Die Young).’

Queen music is beautiful. It tells stories. It’s fun.”

Adds Elton: “This is really the beginning of the American journey.

It’s as it should be.”

Fonda to receive AFI achievement award LOS ANGELES (AP) — Jane Fonda will receive the American Film Institute’s 42nd Life Achievement Award, one of Hollywood’s most prestigious career honors.

“Jane Fonda is American film royalty,” AFI chairman Howard Stringer said in a statement released Oct. 4. “A bright light first introduced to the world as the daughter of Henry Fonda, the world watched as she found her own voice and forged her

own path.”

At 75, Fonda’s career hasn’t slowed, including roles in “Lee Daniels’ The Butler” and HBO’s “The Newsroom.”

Fonda drew the ire of many Americans when she visited North Vietnam at the height of the Vietnam War, leaving a stigma that would last for decades.

The AFI award will be presented at a star-studded gala on June 5, 2014, to be televised later that month on TNT.

Tips for fire safety DAYTON — Paul Davis Restoration and Remodeling of Dayton, a leading provider of water, fire and mold damage clean up and restoration services for residential and commercial properties, is participating in National Fire Protection Association’s (NFPA) Fire Prevention Week, this week.

This year’s fire safety campaign theme is Prevent Kitchen Fires, which focuses on unattended cooking as the leading cause of home fires, along with teaching homeowners how to prevent kitchen fires from starting to begin with. Fire Prevention Week is the longest running public health and safety observance on record.

According to the latest NFPA research, two of every five home fires start in the kitchen — more than any other place in the home.

Fires that start in the kitchen can be dangerous when left burning for only a few minutes and may result in significant damage and injuries. Visit the website at www.nfpa.org.

Davis suggests the following tips to help keep homeowners and their families safe: • Stay in the kitchen when you are frying, grilling, broiling, or boiling food.

• If you must leave the room, even for a short

period of time, turn off the stove.

• When you are simmering, baking, or roasting food, check it regularly, stay in the home, and use a timer to remind you.

• If you have young children, use the stove’s back burners whenever possible.

Keep children and pets at least three away from the stove.

• When you cook, wear clothing with tight-fitting sleeves.

• Keep potholders, oven mitts, wooden utensils, paper and plastic bags, towels, and anything else that can burn, away from your stovetop.

• Clean up food and grease from burners and stovetops.

• Smoke alarms should be installed in the kitchen and throughout the home; never remove or disable smoke alarms. Test smoke alarms at least monthly by pushing the test button.

• Install carbon monoxide detectors.

• Have a family plan in place and conduct a home fire drill at least twice a year.

• Have a portable ladder in each second floor room.

• Check fire extinguishers for expiration and replace as needed.

• Have an updated, emergency first aid kit.

Bengals get ugly win CINCINNATI (AP) — BenJarvus Green-Ellis ran 1 yard in the fourth quarter for the game’s only touchdown, and the Cincinnati Bengals ended Tom Brady’s long streak of touchdown passes on Sunday in a 13-6 victory over the previously unbeaten New England Patriots.

The Bengals (3-2) sacked Brady four times and kept New England (4-1) out of the end zone on a first-and-goal from the 1-yard line late in the fourth quarter.

Adam “Pacman” Jones picked off Brady’s desperation pass inside the 5-yard line with 16 seconds left to clinch it.

Brady had thrown a touchdown pass in 52 straight games, second-longest in NFL history behind Drew Brees. The Patriots were held out of the end zone for the first time since a 16-9 loss to the Jets on Sept. 20, 2009.

OSU gets by Wildcats EVANSTON, Ill. (AP) — Ohio State had its hands full with Northwestern. The Buckeyes did enough to win.

The Buckeyes ran the nation’s longest win streak to 18 games, rallying from 10 down in the second half for a 40-30 victory over Northwestern at a wet and loud Ryan Field on Saturday.

Whether they helped their national standing is another issue, and that was one receiver Corey Brown really didn’t want to address afterward.

“We’re not worried about any of the media stuff,” he said. “We’re just going to play for ourselves and keep winning and do what we do.”

The Buckeyes (6-0, 2-0) are unbeaten since Urban Meyer took over as coach last season. They won all 12 games a year ago but were banned from a bowl game because of NCAA sanctions.

Now, they’re eyeing a championship. The problem is that their out-of-conference schedule lacks a marquee opponent, and it’s not easy to turn heads playing in the Big Ten.

Harvick gets Kansas win KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — Kevin Harvick won a wreck-filled race at Kansas Speedway on Sunday, keeping out of trouble all afternoon and making a big move in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.

Harvick pulled away from Kurt Busch and Jeff Gordon on a restart with 19 laps to go for his third win of the year. It came after Harvick sat on the pole for the first time in 254 races.

The last time he qualified first, at New Hampshire in 2006, he also won the race.

“These guys just did a great job all weekend,” Harvick said. “To have a car fast enough for me to qualify on the pole says a lot about how fast this thing is.”

Harvick was chased across the line by Busch and Gordon. Joey Logano finished fourth, Carl Edwards was fifth, and Jimmie Johnson finished sixth despite a slight hiccup with his engine on the final lap that cost him one spot on the track.

Matt Kenseth held onto his lead in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship with an 11th-place finish. Johnson narrowed the gap to just three points, while Harvick moved into third place, just 25 points out of first with six races left in the season.

Kyle Busch was the big loser after crashing for the third straight time at Kansas Speedway, dropping from third in points to fifth, 35 adrift of the lead.

There were 15 cautions in the race, breaking the record of 14 for a Sprint Cup race at Kansas Speedway. The first came when the race wasn’t even a lap old and Danica Patrick slammed into the wall, and most of them occurred when cars got loose coming out of Turn 2.

Q: How many straight games has the Ohio State football team won?

A: 18 “At no given time was I a nervous wreck. But it was nice when Tiger two-putted that last green to get the 18th point.”

Amheiser enjoys ‘singing in rain’ Leads Lady Vikings to second-place finish Rob Kiser

Sports Editor rkiser@civitasmedia.com

Maybe Abigael Amheiser is just a mudder — or maybe a little singing in the rain just inspires the Miami East senior cross country runner.

More likely, it was just a matter of her hard work paying off —but whatever the reason, Amheiser turned in her best time of the season and led the Lady Vikings to a second-place finish at the Willowbrook Invitational on what would be Piqua longtime coach Steve Frazier’s final home meet.

“We were all singing John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt before the race,” Amheiser, who finished third in 21:05, said with a laugh. “I think that got me going. To be honest, I knew this was coming. I have been working really hard. I broke 21 for the first time last week. The course was really tough.

Every time you ran up hill, your feet would just sink in three or four inches. I think this does give me confidence heading into the league meet.”

Couples never loses cool DUBLIN, Ohio (AP) — Fred Couples, the coolest guy in golf, never really looked that way until he stood on the edge of the 18th fairway Sunday and saw everything going his way.

The Americans needed only one more point to win the Presidents Cup. And there was Tiger Woods, who has a history of delivering the winning point, in the middle of the fairway at Muirfield Village, where he has won a record five times.

The Presidents Cup ended just the way it always does.

Woods found the green and two-putted for par and a 1-up victory over Richard Sterne, the third straight time he has won the clinching point in the Presidents Cup. The Americans won for the fifth straight time — and eighth time in 10 tries — against an International side that showed some fight when it was too late to matter.

The Americans, who finished strong Sunday morning in the raindelayed foursomes for a 14-8 lead, only needed to win four singles matches.

It took longer than anyone expected.

“I must have asked 500 times, ‘How are we get-

ting this fourth point?

Where is the fourth point coming from?’” said Couples, a three-time winner as U.S. captain.

“You’re nervous. Not for the players — the players know what they’re doing. But we knew we needed 18 points, and we got them. It was a very, very good match today.

And the matches were all close. At no given time was I a nervous wreck.

But it was nice when Tiger two-putted that last green to get the 18th point.”

The final score — United States 18½, International 15½ — and whether the matches would beat the rain was really the only suspense on Sunday.

“People say it was close.

Jack (Nicklaus) said it was close,” International captain Nick Price said.

“You tell me. We were behind the 8-ball all day.

If we pulled it off, it would have been miraculous.”

Not that his team of seven rookies didn’t give it a shot.

Zach Johnson closed out Branden Grace, 4 and 2, to give the Americans 17 points and assure them a tie. But it took more than an hour to get that last point.

Graham DeLaet holed out for birdie for the second time Sunday on the 18th hole, this time from a bunker to beat 20-yearold Jordan Spieth. Ernie Els found his putting touch and beat Steve Stricker. Marc Leishman rolled in a 15-foot par putt from the back fringe of the 18th green to beat Matt Kuchar. Adam Scott and Charl Schwartzel won their matches.

The International team’s fleeting hopes ended when Woods, despite suffering back spasms again in the final hour of his match, didn’t make a birdie on the back nine and still won. Sterne helped him by hitting his tee shot off the corporate tents behind the 16th green and making bogey.

“It was a team effort this whole week,” said Woods, who went 4-1 for the best record of any player. “We really played well to give ourselves a nice lead.”

Rain interrupted the matches all week and made Muirfield Village so soft that it was mere target practice for the best players from every continent but Europe. It was a long, tiring week of leaving the course at darkness and completing matches the next morn-

Woods gets deciding point at President’s Cup

ing when it was just as dark.

The Americans might have won this Presidents Cup on Sunday morning.

Returning to finish off the foursomes session, the Americans picked up a win and a halve in matches they had trailed by three holes.

Phil Mickelson hit one of many exquisite shots this week — a 7-iron he had to hook with the ball slightly below his feet, around a tree to about 10 feet. Keegan Bradley had to make the birdie putt for a half-point after DeLaet chipped in for birdie. Louis Oosthuizen and Charl Schwartzel played the last six holes in 5-over par — three bogeys and a ball outof-bounds for double bogey in losing to Webb Simpson and Brandt Snedeker.

“It was a tall order, but they gave it their best shot. These guys played their tails off,” Price said. “We’re a real hodgepodge of a team that came together from four corners of the planet.

And they gave the might of America a run for their money.”

The closing ceremony was moved indoors because of approaching rain, and it led to

an awkward moment as the International team watched the Americans pass around the gold trophy and pose for the pictures before quietly filing out of the room.

Since that famous tie in South Africa in 2003, the Americans have won by at least three points every time. Only one of them, in 2005, was close.

International players talked about the importance of making a contest out of this exhibition, and only a 7½-4½win in singles made it feel that way at the end.

“We kept it very interesting today,” Scott said.

“We gave it a good shake.”

Mickelson and Angel Cabrera were the last match on the course, and it was comical at times.

Mickelson hit one shot that ricocheted off a tree to the left, skipped out of the water and into the rough, and he pitched that to 5 feet — and then missed the putt to lose the hole. On the final hole, Cabrera had 3 feet for par to win the match.

Instead of conceding, Mickelson first knocked in his 5-foot bogey putt, and then conceded. All in good fun, which is how the day felt.

“There was no intensity. We played and enjoyed

the day and the people here in Columbus,” Mickelson said after four bogeys in the last five holes. “I thought it was going to be closed out early. On 12 or 13, they said, ‘Your match is going to count.’ What? We ended up winning. That’s all that matters.”

Even with the captains able to control the pairings, the singles lineup was dull. Woods has played Els in South Africa, Greg Norman in Australia, Mike Weir in Canada and Y.E. Yang the same year the South Korean beat him in the PGA Championship. This time, he was up against Sterne.

“I did my pairings to try to win the cup,” Price said.

It might not have mattered against a U.S. team so strong that every player was among the top 30 in the world.

“They played golf that was incredible to watch,” Price said. “But for this team, I would be honored if they ever asked me to be captain of this team again. I don’t care where it is.”

The next Presidents Cup is in South Korea in 2015 on another Jack Nicklaus design.

not sure of her time yet, but she ran a good race. The whole team did. I am hoping for second. This was good preparation for the league next week.”

For Piqua coach Steve Frazier, it was a special day after many years coaching Piqua runners. He will retire at the end of the season and the weather not cooperating was nothing new.

All the runners were covered in mud as they crossed the finish line.

“We had everything ready to go about an hour before the race,” Frazier said with a smile.

“Then, the rain set in. But, this was a good day. I had a lot of alumni here for my final home race. The girls did a great job dealing with the conditions. I could tell they still have some more left for next week. They weren’t tired at the end.”

Piqua finished fifth.

In the boys race, Miami East finished fourth.

“I thought they ran a good race,” Russell said. “They all ran a strong, tight pack. This was a good race for us going into the league.”

advance to the district tournament, following in the footsteps of their older brothers.

“It is pretty amazing,” Gravunder said with a smile.

“Just to know I am going to playing in the district tournament is a great feeling.”

And while the odds were stacked against them Saturday, Harrelson and Gravunder showed the heart the entire Lehman teams has played with all season.

After losing to the top seed and eventual district champion Claire Fetters and Jessica Ferguson 6-0, 6-2; they faced third seed Brittany Hart and Ellen Snyder of Northwestern in the third-place match. “ That Milton-Union team is a great team,” Julia Harrelson said. “They will go a long way at district — maybe even at state.”

everything they have had in a 6-3, 4-6, 6-1 loss to Northwestern.

Down 4-1 in the second set, Lehman reeled off five straight games to force a third set. The ground strokes of Gravunder combined with the volleying of Harrelson became lethal. Fittingly, Harrelson finished the set off with a overhead volley to the doubles lane.

“It would be easy to quit in that situation (down 4-1 in the second set),” Will Harrelson said. “But, I was not surprised to see them come back and win that set.

We have had a lot of three-set matches this year at Lehman.

“You could tell watching them in the third set. They left it all on the court and that is all I can ask. I thought these were some very evenly matched doubles teams and they played well.”

And as they prepare for the district tournament Thursday at at the ATP Tennis Center at Kings Island, the duo can relish the opportunity to share the moment with their brothers.

“I am remember Rob’s (her older brother Rob’s) big senior year,” Julia Harrelson said. “Well, he had a lot of big years, but his senior year he went to district and made it to state. So, to make it to district like him in my senior year, that means a lot.

It just feels great to put the Harrelson name back on the board (at district).”

And made a painful loss from a year ago nothing but a distant memory.

HOROSCOPE

BY FRANCES DRAKE

For Tuesday, Oct. 8, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You'll be careful and cautious when dealing with anything you own jointly with others. This is the kind of day where you think about inheritances and your own mortality. ("Time to go, Martha." "Go? We just got here!")

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Conversations with others will be stilted and formal today, because people feel cautious and conservative. Everyone is hiding behind a game face.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You have excellent powers of concentration today, which is why you should tackle routine work you've been avoiding. You easily will pay attention to details.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Discussions about the care, expense and education of children will be productive today. People are in a serious frame of mind and ready to discuss serious issues.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) An older family relative might have good advice for you today. Alternatively, the same person might rain on your parade. Could go either way.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You can get lots of mental work done today. You're in a serious frame of mind, and you want to get organized so that you feel more secure about everything around you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Why is there so much month left at the end of the money? Today you feel financially cautious. Actually, many of you feel broke. (Join the club.

We've got jackets.)

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) This is an excellent day for practical discussions or long-range planning.

You want to secure loose ends and finish whatever is already begun.

You won't mind drudgery and routine to complete the job.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Research will go well today, because you have the tenacity, endurance and self-discipline to go after what you're looking for. Just do it.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Someone older and more experienced will be involved with you in a group situation today. This person might be supportive or he or she might criticize your suggestions.

(Ouch.)

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Conversations with bosses, parents and VIPs will be serious but productive today. People are not frivolous or impulsive. Oh no. They're making lists and checking off who is naughty or nice.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Travel likely will be related to work today. This is a good day to study because you have the self-discipline to do so.

YOU BORN TODAY You're romantic and easily carried away by your feelings. You want your life to be an exciting adventure. You're imaginative, daring and willing to push boundaries to explore new territory. Because of this, you sometimes get swept away with your plans and wishes to create the world you want.

This is a lovely, social year for you, where all your relationships will improve.

U.S. forces hit extremists behind East Africa attacks ABDI GULED JASON STRAZIUSO KIMBERLY DOZIER Associated Press

M O GA D I S H U, Somalia (AP) — In a stealthy seaside assault in Somalia and in a raid in Libya’s capital, U.S. special forces on Saturday struck out against Islamic extremists who have carried out terrorist attacks in East Africa, snatching a Libyan al-Qaida leader allegedly involved in the bombings of U.S. embassies 15 years ago but aborting a mission to capture a terrorist suspect linked to last month’s Nairobi shopping mall attack after a fierce firefight.

A U.S. Navy SEAL team swam ashore near a town in southern Somalia before militants of the al-Qaida-linked terrorist group al-Shabab rose for dawn prayers, U.S. and Somali officials told The Associated Press. The raid on a house in the town of Barawe targeted a specific al-Qaida suspect related to the mall attack, but the operation did not get its target, one current and one former U.S. military official told AP. Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the raid publicly.

In Washington, Pentagon spokesman George Little confirmed that U.S. military personnel had been involved in a counterterrorism operation against a known al-Shabab terrorist in Somalia, but did not provide details.

U.S. officials said there were no U.S. casualties in either the Somali or Libyan operation.

The Somali raid was carried out by members of SEAL Team Six, the same unit that killed alQaida leader Osama bin Laden in his Pakistan hideout in 2011, another senior U.S. military official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the official was not authorized to speak publicly.

But this time, SEAL Team Six members encountered fiercer resistance than expected so after a 15-20 minute firefight, the unit leader decided to abort the mission and they swam away, the official said. SEAL Team Six has responsibility for counterterrorism activities in the Horn of Africa.

Within hours of the Somalia attack, the U.S. Army’s Delta Force car-

ried out a raid in Libya’s capital, Tripoli, to seize a Libyan al-Qaida leader wanted for the 1998 bombings of the U.S. Embassies in Kenya and Tanzania that killed more than 220 people, the military official said. Delta Force carries out counterterrorism operations in North Africa.

The Pentagon identified the captured alQaida leader as Nazih Abdul-Hamed al-Ruqai, known by his alias Anas al-Libi, who has been on the FBI’s most wanted terrorists list since it was introduced shortly after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks.

Al-Libi “is currently lawfully detained by the U.S. military in a secure location outside of Libya,” Pentagon spokesman Little said.

Saturday’s raid in Somalia occurred 20 years after the famous “Black Hawk Down” battle in Mogadishu in which a mission to capture Somali warlords in the capital went awry after militiamen shot down two U.S. helicopters. Eighteen 18 U.S. soldiers were killed in the battle, and it marked the beginning of the end of that U.S. military mission to bring stability to the Horn of Africa nation.

Since then, U.S. military intervention has been limited to missile attacks and lightning operations by special forces.

A resident of Barawe — a seaside town 240 kilometers (150 miles) south of Mogadishu — said by telephone that heavy gunfire woke up residents before dawn prayers.

The U.S. forces attacked a two-story beachside house in Barawe where foreign fighters lived, battling their way inside, said an al-Shabab fighter who gave his name as Abu Mohamed and who said he had visited the scene.

Al-Shabab has a formal alliance with al-Qaida, and hundreds of men from the U.S., Britain and Middle Eastern countries fight alongside Somali members of al-Shabab.

A separate U.S. official described the action in Barawe as a capture operation against a highvalue target. The official said U.S. forces engaged al-Shabab militants and sought to avoid civilian casualties. The U.S. forces disengaged after inflicting some casualties on fighters, said the official, who was not authorized to speak by name and insisted on anonym-

ity.

The leader of alShabab, Mukhtar Abu Zubeyr, also known as Ahmed Godane, claimed responsibility for the attack on the upscale mall in Nairobi, Kenya, a four-day terrorist siege that began on Sept. 21 and killed at least 67 people. A Somali intelligence official said the al-Shabab leader was the target of Saturday’s raid.

An al-Shabab official, Sheikh Abdiaziz Abu Musab, said in an audio message that the raid failed to achieve its goals.

Al-Shabab and al-Qaida have flourished in Somalia for years. Some of the plotters of the 1998 bombings of U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania hid out there.

Barawe has seen Navy SEALs before. In September 2009 a daylight commando raid in Barawe killed six people, including Saleh Ali Saleh Nabhan, one of the mostwanted al-Qaida operatives in the region and an alleged plotter in the 1998 embassy bombings.

The Libyan al-Qaida leader also wanted for the bombings, al-Libi, is believed to have returned to Libya during the 2011 civil war that led to the ouster and killing of Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi.

His brother, Nabih, said al-Libi was parking outside his house early Saturday after dawn prayers when a convoy of three vehicles encircled his car. Armed gunmen smashed the car’s window and seized al-Libi’s gun before grabbing him and taking him away.

The brother said al-Libi’s wife saw the kidnapping from her window and described the abductors as foreign-looking armed “commandos.”

Al-Libi, who was believed to be a computer specialist for alQaida, is on the FBI’s most-wanted list with a $5 million bounty on his head. He was indicted by a federal court in the Southern District of New York, for his alleged role in the bombings of the U.S. Embassies in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and Nairobi, Kenya, on August 7, 1998.

Libyan officials did not return calls seeking comment on al-Libi’s abduction.

In Somalia, a resident of Barawe who gave his name as Mohamed Bile said militants closed down the town in the hours after the assault, and that all traffic and movements have been

restricted.

Militants were carrying out houseto-house searches, likely to find evidence that a spy had given intelligence to a foreign power used to launch the attack, he said.

“We woke up to find al-Shabab fighters had sealed off the area and their hospital is also inaccessible,” Bile told The Associated Press by phone. “The town is in a tense mood.”

Al-Shabab later posted pictures on the Internet of what it said was U.S. military gear left behind in the raid. Two former U.S. military officers identified the gear as the kind U.S. troops carry. Pictures showed items including bullets, an ammunition magazine, a military GPS device and a smoke and flash-bang grenade used to clear rooms. The officials could not confirm if those items had come from the raid.

In Kenya, military spokesman Maj. Emmanuel Chirchir on Saturday gave the names of four fighters implicated in the Westgate Mall attack as Abu Baara alSudani, Omar Nabhan, Khattab al-Kene and Umayr, names that were first broadcast by a local Kenyan television station.

Matt Bryden, the former head of the U.N. Monitoring Group on Somalia and Eritrea, said via email that alKene and Umayr are known members of alHijra, the Kenyan arm of al-Shabab. He added that Nabhan may be a relative of Saleh Ali Saleh Nabhan, the target of the 2009 Navy SEALs raid in Barawe.

The identities of the four men from the mall attack came as a Nairobi station obtained and broadcast the closed circuit television footage from Westgate.

The footage shows four attackers calmly walking through a storeroom inside the complex, holding machine guns. One of the men’s pant legs appears to be stained with blood, though he is not limping. It is unclear if the blood is his, or that of his victims’.

Government statements shortly after the four-day siege began on Sept. 21 indicated between 10 to 15 attackers were involved, but indications since then are that fewer attackers took part, though the footage may not show all of the assailants.

Mexico monster truck wreck kills 8, hurts dozens JOSE ANTONIO SANCHEZ RICARDO CHAVEZ Associated Press

CHIHUAHUA, Mexico (AP) — An out-of-control monster truck shot into a crowd of spectators at a Mexican air show, killing eight people and hurting 79, officials said. The driver was detained Sunday on suspicion of manslaughter and officials said they were investigating possible safety violations in the setup of the show.

Carlos Gonzalez, spokesman for the Chihuahua state prosecutors’ office, said driver Francisco Velazquez appeared to lose control of the truck after leaping over cars it was crushing during a demonstration at the “Extreme Aeroshow” on Saturday.

Video taken from the stands by spectator Krizthall Martinez and pro-

vided to The Associated Press shows the truck making an initial pass over two cars. It then makes a second pass at higher speed, coming down sharply nose first and bouncing violently before piling straight into the crowd, which stood directly in the path of the monster truck unprotected by any wall or barrier.

The three-day show, which included performances by airplanes, the monster truck acts and other events, was canceled after the accident on its second day in a park on the outskirts of Chihuahua, the capital of Chihuahua state.

On Sunday, two armed men threw a firebomb at monster trucks and other vehicles parked at a hotel that were part of an unrelated monster truck production at the air show.

Chihuahua Gov. Cesar Duarte Juarez said his

administration, which was listed as a sponsor of the air show, was investigating whether Civil Protection authorities had correctly enforced safety regulations. He and other officials didn’t say if those regulations required any protective barrier for spectators.

Some witnesses said the driver appeared to have hit his head on the interior of the truck, which is nicknamed “Big Show,” as he drove over the old cars. At least two reporting seeing the driver’s helmet come off before the huge vehicle drove into the crowd of terrified spectators, who tried to flee.

“I fell over, and when I turned around I saw the tire very close. It hit me and threw me to the other side,” Jesus Manuel Ibarra, 41, said as he was treated for injuries to his

arm and hip.

Chihuahua Mayor Marco Quezada said 79 people had been hurt.

Twelve remained in intensive care, with four in critical condition, he said.

The governor, who declared three days of mourning, said a test had detected alcohol in the driver’s breath, but he didn’t reveal the level found or say whether it violated any law.

Gonzalez, the prosecutors spokesman, said investigators were looking into the possibility of a mechanical failure that left Velazquez unable to release the gas pedal.

Several witnesses said, however, that the driver appeared to have become incapacitated after striking his head as he bounced over small cars at high speed, crushing their roofs.

Pope trip to St. Francis’ town highlights goals NICOLE WINFIELD Associated Press

ASSISI, Italy (AP) — Pope Francis broke bread with the poor and embraced the disabled on a pilgrimage to his namesake’s hometown Friday, urging the faithful to follow the example of the 13th-century St. Francis, who renounced a wealthy, dissolute lifestyle to embrace a life of poverty and service to the poor.

According to tradition, God told St. Francis to “repair my house,� and the first pope to take the saint’s name has made clear that he sees that as his own mission as well.

For Francis, that means reaching out to the most marginalized among the church’s 1.2 billion followers, reforming the broken Vatican bureaucracy, and allowing the faithful to shake things up in their dioceses — even at the annoyance of their bishops — if that’s what it takes to better spread God’s word.

After all, the pope said, St. Francis was a

radical himself in his complete devotion to his faith — a model that can serve Catholics today.

Here are the main goals Pope Francis has set out for his church, highlighted during his visit to the hilltop town of Assisi, whose native son has inspired his papacy: A CHURCH ‘THAT IS POOR AND FOR THE POOR’ Francis had lunch with a group of poor at a soup kitchen after demanding that the faithful “strip� themselves of their worldly attachment to wealth, which he said is killing the church and its souls. He delivered that exhortation during the most evocative stop of the day, in the simple room where St. Francis stripped off his clothes, renounced his wealth and vowed to live a life of poverty.

Since becoming pope in March, Francis has made it clear that one of his principal objectives is a church that is humble, looks out for the poorest and brings them hope.

The “slum pope,� as

40501962

Pope Francis passes by a statue of St. Francis as he walks with his pastoral staff during a mass, in Assisi, Italy, on Friday, Oct. 4, 2013.

Pope Francis made a pilgrimage to the hillside town of Assisi and the tomb of his namesake, St. Francis, the 13th-century friar who renounced a wealthy, dissolute lifestyle to embrace a life of poverty and minister to the most destitute. St. Francis was famously told by God to “repair my house.�

he is known because of his work in Argentina’s shantytowns, recently denounced the “idolatry� of money and encouraged those without the “dignity� of work.

A CHURCH THAT WELCOMES AND DOESN’T JUDGE Francis’ first stop in Assisi was to an institute that cares for gravely disabled children, who in the words of the director are often seen as “stones cast aside,� invisible and neglected by the world. Francis caressed and kissed each child, saying their “scars need to be recognized and listened to.� It was part of the simple message of love that he has brought to others often considered outcasts, such as drug addicts and convicts. His “who am I to judge?� comment about gays over the summer was another reflection of this message of merciful welcome. It represented a radical shift in tone for the Vatican.

Catholic teaching holds

that all people should be treated with dignity and respect, so Francis was making no change in doctrine. But church teaching also holds that gay acts are “intrinsically disordered� — a point Francis has neglected to emphasize in favor of a message of inclusion.

A F EM I N I N E CHURCH Francis has called for a greater role for women in the governance of the church, while ruling out female ordination. He says the church itself is female, that Jesus Christ was married to the church and that Mary is more important than all the apostles.

On Friday, Francis paid special attention to the women of the church, visiting the cloistered Sisters of St. Clare, an order founded by one of St. Francis’ followers. In the Basilica of St. Clare, Pope Francis told the nuns that they must be mothers to the church and be joyful. “It makes me sad when I find sis-

Thank

ters who aren’t joyful,� he lamented. “They might smile, but with just a smile they could be flight attendants!� He showed that same sense of humor later when he told a story about a mother who lamented that her 30-year-old son still hadn’t gotten married — a reference to a generation of Italian men who seem unwilling to move out: “Signora,�

Francis recalled telling her. “Stop ironing his shirts!�

A CHURCH THAT IS ‘MESSY’ AND GOES OUTSIDE THE SACRISTY St. Francis was considered a radical disobedient for having renounced everything and given himself entirely to his faith, but that’s just the type of radical witness Pope Francis wants for today’s Catholics. Francis told Argentine pilgrims during World Youth Day in July to make a “mess� in their dioceses and shake things up. He hopes the church will stop being so inward-looking, and instead go out to the peripheries to spread the faith, just like St. Francis. The pope’s first trip outside Rome was to Lampedusa, a southern Italian island closer to Africa than the Italian mainland. His eulogy for all migrants lost at sea denounced a “globalization of indifference,� a prescient message given Thursday’s shipwreck off Lampedusa that killed scores of migrants. As black mourning ribbons hung from Assisi’s banners, Francis proclaimed Friday “a day of tears.�

A CHURCH THAT WORKS FOR PEACE AND CARES FOR THE ENVIRONMENT Assisi is known for its message of peace, drawing people of all faiths — and no faith — for annual peace pilgrimages to the basilica dominating the hill and its magnificent frescos

by Giotto and Cimabue.

The town takes its cue from St. Francis, who preached a message

of peace and care for nature. But Pope Francis lamented Friday that the saint’s message is often misunderstood, “sweetened� into something he didn’t represent. A Vatican spokesman put it this way: “Too often his message is lost and we reduce his role to that of a gentle, whimsical hippie who fed birds, smelled flowers and tamed wild wolves.�

Pope Francis said the saint’s message was to truly “love one another as I have loved you,� calling for an end to all the wars in the Middle East, especially Syria.

The pope has been steadfast in his call for peace in Syria, inspiring hundreds of thousands of people around the world to hold a day of fasting and prayer when it appeared military strikes against the Damascus regime were imminent.

A REFORMED CHURCH Francis was elected on a mandate to reform the church, and he has set about doing that. One of his first stops Friday was to pray at the sanctuary of St. Damian, where the saint in 1205 famously was told to take a broken church and rebuild it. The pope has just finished three days of meetings with advisers from churches around the globe helping him rewrite the main blueprint for how the Catholic Church is governed. Ideas include having a “moderator� to make the Vatican bureaucracy run more smoothly and a diminished role for the Vatican’s powerful secretary of state.

In an indication that a shift is already underway, the secretary of state didn’t accompany Francis to Assisi, though his eight cardinal advisers did — a symbolic changing of the guard in favor of less centralized church authority.

The reforms also include involving lay men and women more in the life of the church. Just as St. Francis wanted.
