Kenyan forces say they rescued ‘most’ hostages NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — Kenyan’s military said late Sunday it had rescued “most” of the remaining hostages held by al-Qaida-linked militants in an upscale Nairobi mall after launching a major operation to end a two-day standoff that had already killed 68 people.

The military assault, which began shortly before sundown, came as two helicopters circled the mall, with one skimming very close to the roof. A loud explosion rang out, far larger than any previous grenade blast or gunfire volley.

Kenyan police said on Twitter that a “MAJOR” assault by had started to end the bloody siege.

“This will end tonight. Our forces will prevail. Kenyans are standing firm against aggression, and we will win,” Kenya’s National Disaster Operation

Centre said on Twitter.

Kenya Defence Forces later said it had rescued most hostages and had taken control of most of the mall.

Many of the rescued hostages — mostly adults — were suffering from dehydration, Col. Cyrus Oguna, a military spokesman, told The Associated Press.

Oguna refused to release the number of hostages rescued or those still being held. He said some of the attackers had “most probably” been killed in the operation, which began in the morning and culminated in the evening.

The assault came about 30 hours after 10 to 15 al-Shabab extremists stormed the mall Saturday from two sides, throwing grenades and firing on See KENYAN | 2

tug at my heart,” Noren said. “A lot of people have asked me why I haven’t moved on to a bigger city, but I’ve always been here and thought that art is what you make of it. I think there are a lot of beautiful scenes around here.

I don’t know … I don’t think people realize how many beautiful places there are around here.

“I tried not to do the more traditional scenes like the courthouse or the fountain downtown — I tried to do things that I found beautiful and that meant a lot to me. I can’t really explain why they mean a lot to me — they are just places that sort of tugged at my heart. I love my hometown.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Even before a budget deadline arrives, leaders from both parties are blaming each other — and some Republicans are criticizing their own — for a government shutdown many are treating as inevitable.

The top Democrat in the House says Republicans are “legislative arsonists” who are using their opposition to a sweeping health care overhaul as an excuse to close government’s doors. A leading tea party antagonist in the Senate counters that conservatives should use any tool available to stop the Affordable Care Act from taking hold. President Bill Clinton’s labor secretary says the GOP is willing “to risk the entire system of government to get your way,” while the House speaker who oversaw the last government shutdown urged fellow Republicans to remember “this is not a dictatorship.”

The unyielding political posturing on Sunday comes one week before Congress reaches an Oct. 1 deadline to dodge any interruptions in government services.

While work continues on a temporary spending bill, a potentially more devastating separate deadline looms a few weeks later when the government could run out of money to pay its bills.

“This is totally irresponsible, completely juvenile and, as I called it, legislative arson. It’s just destructive,” House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi said in an interview that aired Sunday.

The Republican-led House on Friday approved legislation designed to wipe out the 3-yearold health care law that President Barack Obama has vowed to

The call to arts

David Fong

Executive Editor dfong@civitasmedia.com

TROY — At an age when most the extent of most children’s artistic endeavors are limited to coloring books and refrigeratorworthy renderings, Jen Noren found her calling.

“I started drawing at a really early age,” Noren said. “I remember when I was 6-yearsold, my Grandpa (Hans D.) Noren — who was a self-taught artist — drew a portrait of me.

When he was done, he asked if I would draw a portrait of him.

I worked very, very hard on it because I wanted to impress him. When he saw it, he went wild. He started screaming, ‘She’s an artist! She’s an artist!’

Troy graduate has dedicated a lifetime to her craft

I remember he called me whole family around to look at it.

“I felt really fortunate to have that happen to me. Not every kid knows at that age what they want to do with their lives. But from that point on, I just owned it. I knew then I wanted to be an artist.”

And from such humble beginnings, Noren — a 1992 Troy High School graduate — has become one of the most recognizable local artists in Troy.

She’s this months featured artist at The Art Vault Gallery at 2 E. Main St. in Troy. In addition to the regular works that are a staple of The Art Vault Gallery, Noren also will feature a series of paintings from scenes around the area.

For Obama, diplomatic openings on three fronts WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama varrives at the United Nations on Monday with diplomatic openings, the result of help from unexpected partners, on three fronts: Iran, Syria, and elusive peace between Israel and the Palestinians.

All three pathways are fraught with potential pitfalls and hinge on cooperation from often unreliable nations.

Obama also risks being branded as naive and misguided if the efforts fail, particularly in Syria, where he’s used the prospect of diplomacy to put off a military strike in retaliation for a chemical weapons attack.

Still, the recent devel-

opments mark a significant shift on a trio of issues that have long proved problematic for

Obama at the United Nations. His former Iranian counterpart used the annual U.N. General

Assembly meetings, which open Monday, as a venue for fiery, antiAmerican speeches.

Failed Middle East peace talks led the Palestinians to seek statehood recognition at the U.N. despite staunch American objections. And the Obama administration has been stymied on Syria at the U.N. Security Council due to intractable Russian opposition.

But this year, Iran has a new leader who is making friendly overtures toward Obama, raising the prospect of a meeting at the United Nations.

U.S.-brokered peace talks between the Israelis and Palestinians have resumed — though on an uncertain course. And

Russia has joined with the U.S. on a diplomatic deal to strip Syria of its chemical weapons.

Joel Rubin, a former State Department official who now works at the nonproliferation organization Ploughshares, said the confluence of events underscores an often frustrating aspect of diplomacy.

“You never know when it’s going to break,” said Rubin. He said Obama’s biggest test now is to recognize if opportunities morph into stalling tactics.

Kenyan From page 1 civilians.

Loud exchanges of gunfire emanated from inside the four-story upscale mall throughout Sunday. Kenyan troops were seen carrying in at least two rocket propelled grenades. Al-Shabab militants reacted angrily to the helicopters on Twitter and warned that the Kenyan military action was endangering hostages.

Kenyan officials said they would do their utmost to save hostages’ lives, but no officials could say precisely how many hostages were inside. Kenya’s Red Cross said in a statement citing police that 49 people had been reported missing.

Officials did not make an explicit link but that number could give an indication of the number of people held captive.

Kenya’s Red Cross said the death toll on Sunday rose to 68 after nine bodies were recovered in a joint rescue mission.

A United States State Department spokeswoman condemned the “despicable massacre of innocent men, women and children.” U.S. law

enforcement, military and civilian personnel in Nairobi were providing advance and assistance as requested by Kenya, spokeswoman Marie Harf said.

Somalia’s al-Qaidalinked rebel group, alShabab, claimed responsibility for the attack that specifically targeted nonMuslims. The attackers included some women.

The Islamic extremist rebels said the attack was retribution for Kenyan forces’ 2011 push into neighboring Somalia.

Al-Shabab said on its new Twitter feed — after its previous one was shut down Saturday — that Kenyan officials were asking the hostage-takers to negotiate and offering incentives.

“We’ll not negotiate with the Kenyan govt as long as its forces are invading our country, so reap the bitter fruits of your harvest,” al-Shabab said in a tweet.

Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta reiterated his government’s determination to continue fighting al-Shabab.

“We went as a nation into Somalia to help sta-

preserve. But the House’s move was more a political win than a measure likely to be implemented.

Across the Capitol, Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid said he would keep the health law intact despite Republicans’ attempts, in his words, “to take an entire law hostage simply to appease the tea party anarchists.”

One of those tea party agitators, Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, showed little sign on Sunday that he cared about the uphill climb to make good on his pledge to derail the health care law over Obama’s guaranteed veto.

“I believe we should stand our ground,” said Cruz, who already was trying to blame Obama and his Democratic allies if the government shuts down.

Sen. Claire McCaskill, a Missouri Democrat, said Cruz’s efforts were destructive and self-serving as Cruz eyes a White House campaign.

“I cannot believe that they are going to throw a tantrum and throw the American people and our economic recovery under the bus,” she said.

“This is about running for president with Ted Cruz.

This isn’t about meaningful statesmanship,” she added later.

The wrangling over the budget comes as lawmakers consider separate legislation that would let the United States avoid a firstever default on its debt obligations. House Republicans are planning legislation that would attach a 1-year delay in the health care law in exchange for ability to increase the nation’s credit limit of $16.7 trillion.

Obama, speaking to political allies on Saturday evening, showed little patience for the GOP efforts to undermine his legislative accomplishment by either avenue.

“We will not negotiate over whether or not America should keep its word and meet its obligations,” Obama told the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation dinner.

“We’re not going to allow anyone to inflict economic pain on millions of our own people just to make an ideological point.”

Congress doesn’t seem eager to help Obama, although there are deep divides — both between parties and within them — over who deserves blame.

Rep. Tom Graves, R-Ga., said the goal was to defund the president’s health care legislation for at least one more year if not forever.

“We do have eight days to reach a resolution on this, and I propose an idea that kept the government operating and opened for an entire year while delaying and defunding Obamacare for a year so that we could work out those differences,” Graves said.

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, whose faceoff with Clinton led to government shutdowns that inflicted significant damage on the GOP and helped resurrect the then-president’s political fortunes in time for his 1996 re-election bid, said his GOP colleagues should not yield.

“This is not a dictatorship. Under our constitution, there should be a period of tension and there should be a compromise on both sides,” Gingrich said.

“The priority is to save as many lives as possible,” Lenku said, adding that more than 1,000 people escaped the attack inside the mall on Saturday.

“We have received a lot of messages from friendly countries, but for now it remains our operation,” Lenku said.

More than 175 people were injured in the attack, Lenku said, including many children. Kenyan forces were by Sunday in control of the mall’s security cameras, he said.

Britain’s prime minister, in confirming the deaths of three British nationals, told the country to “prepare ourselves for further bad news.”

Westgate Mall is at least partially owned

by Israelis, and reports circulated that Israeli commandos were on the ground to assist in the response. Four restaurants inside the mall are Israeli-run or owned.

He said although this violent attack had succeeded, the Kenyan security forces had “neutralized” many others. Earlier in the day Kenyatta said he his nephew and his nephew’s fiance were killed in the attack.

Former Kenyan Prime Minister Raila Odinga told reporters at the mall that “quite a number” of people were being held hostage in two locations of the mall, which includes stores for Nike (NYSE:NKE) , Adidas and Bose. Many hostages were believed to be in a grocery and general department store called Nakumatt.

Kenyan security officials sought to reassure the families of hostages but implied that hostages could be killed. The security operation is “delicate” because Kenyan forces hoped to ensure the hostages are evacuated safely, said Interior Cabinet Secretary Joseph

While she does have some formal training, she actually went to school to become a certified dental assistant and currently works at Family Health Dental Clinic in Greenville.

assistance. The official, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was discussing a classified military issue, would not elaborate.

Israel has close ties to Kenya going back many years. And in recent years, Israel has identified East Africa as an area of strategic interest and stepped up ties with Kenya and other neighboring countries, due to shared threats posed by al-Qaida and other extremist elements. In 2002, militants bombed an Israeli-owned luxury hotel near Mombasa, killing 13 people, and tried to shoot down an Israeli airliner at the same time.

Kenyans and foreigners were among those confirmed dead, including British, French, Canadians, Indians, a Ghanaian, a South African and a Chinese woman.

Kofi Awoonor, a Ghanaian poet, professor and former ambassador to Brazil, Cuba and the United Nations, died after being injured in the attack, Ghana’s presidential office confirmed.

She may be best known around Troy — paricularly on downtown circles — for her “performance paintings.” Noren has drawn huge crowds for paintings she does in

“I work through the week, but I hit it pretty hard on Fridays and Saturdays,” she said.

and Lebanese President Michel Suleiman, whose country is burdened by the flow of refugees from neighboring Syria.

But Obama’s most closely watched meeting may end up being with Iranian President Hasan Rouhani.

No encounter is scheduled, but U.S. officials have left open the possibility the two men might talk on the sidelines of the international gathering.

If they do, it would mark the first meeting of U.S. and Iranian leaders in more than 30 years. A meeting could also be a precursor to renewed talks on Tehran’s disputed nuclear program — though bridging differences over Iran’s right to enrich uranium and maintain those stockpiles will be a far tougher task than arranging a handshake.

The election of Rouhani, a moderate cleric, signaled frustration among many Iranians with their country’s international isolation

and the crippling impact of Western sanctions.

Obama and Rouhani have already exchanged letters.

And the new Iranian president’s rhetoric has so far been more palatable to the U.S. than former leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who would threaten Israel as well as lambast the U.S. in his annual remarks at the U.N. Trita Parsi, the president of the National Iranian American Council, said Rouhani shares with Obama a need to prove to a domestic audience that diplomacy can garner concrete results.

“If he can’t show that his diplomatic approach will pay more dividends for Iran that Ahmadinejad’s theatrics, then it’s back to the conservatives being in the driver’s seat. And the flexibility that Rouhani currently has will be lost,” Parsi said.

As Rouhani considers re-engaging with the U.S.,

he’s closely watching diplomatic developments in Syria, an Iranian ally.

A chemical weapons attack near Damascus in August brought the U.S. to the brink of a military strike. But an idea floated by Secretary of State John Kerry turned into a last-minute overture from Russia — another backer of Syrian President Bashar Assad — and resulted in a deal to turn Syria’s chemical weapons stockpiles over to the international community.

The breakthrough was particularly unexpected given that Russia has thwarted U.S. efforts to punish Assad through the U.N. Security Council.

When Obama was on the verge of launching a strike against Assad’s regime, he said the U.N. had an “incapacity” to address Syria’s violation of international agreements banning the deployment of deadly gases.

Diplomatic From page 1 standing preference for resolving disputes through diplomacy and, in the case of Iran and Syria, with pressure built up through economic sanctions and the threat of military action.

“He said we’d be open to diplomacy, we’d pursue engagement, but that there would be pressure if Iran failed to take that opportunity,” said Ben Rhodes, Obama’s deputy national security adviser. And on Syria, Rhodes said it was the credible threat of a U.S. military strike “that opened the door for this diplomacy.”

Aides say Obama will address developments on Iran, Syria and Middle East peace in his speech to the U.N. on Tuesday.

The issues will also be at the forefront of some of the president’s bilateral meetings with world leaders, including a sit-down with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas

Kenya’s presidential office said that one of the attackers was arrested on Saturday and died after suffering from bullet wounds.

Britain’s Foreign Office said that Foreign Secretary William Hague has chaired a meeting of Britain’s crisis committee and sent a rapid deployment team from London to Nairobi to provide extra consular support.

The United Nations Security Council condemned the attacks and “expressed their solidarity with the people and Government of Kenya” in a statement.

There was some good news on Sunday, as Kenyan media reported that several people in hiding in the mall escaped to safety in the morning, suggesting that not everyone who was inside overnight was being held by al-Shabab.

Police lobbed multiple rounds of tear gas throughout the day to disperse hundreds of curious Kenyans who gathered near the mall.

Edison Foundation joins college with community Editor’s Note: This is the fourth in a fivepart series of stories highlighting Edison Community College as it celebrates its 40th year of service. Highlighting the work of the Edison Foundation, this piece is being submitted on behalf of Kim Horton, Edison Community College’s Vice President of Institutional Advancement.

PIQUA — In the past weeks, these articles have focused on the broad, inclusive work of Edison Community College. Such work would not be possible without a significant support system both on-campus and in the community. The Edison Foundation is a prime example of where the college and the community come together to support Edison students and synergy that results when that partnership is focused.

The Edison Foundation was founded in 1995 as a separate 501(c)3 entity with a very specific mission: “to assist Edison Community College in meeting its educational and community service goals … through the identification, cultivation and solicitation of corporate, foundation and individual donors, and by communicating the goals and needs of the college to the communities of Darke, Miami and Shelby counties.”

Since that time, the Edison Foundation’s approach to accomplishing this mission has developed into a multifaceted undertaking.

Guided by 18 foundation board members and six emeritus members, who serve up to two three year terms under the leadership of Kim Horton, the vice president of institutional advancement, the members are representative of our three counties and include educators, attorneys, business leaders and friends of the college.

Among the most vital work accomplished by the Edison Foundation each year is the awarding of student scholarships.

With an annual enrollment of nearly 3,500 students, 63 percent of the student body is eligible for and receives some

form of financial assistance. Annually, approximately one quarter of a million dollars in academic and athletic scholarships are awarded to nearly 100 Edison students. The scholarships are administered by the Edison Foundation and are typically bestowed or endowed by individuals, corporate partners and civic organizations.

For many students, these scholarships bridge a gap to college attendance and achievement that would otherwise remain unattainable. Whether for one semester, one year, or the duration of a student’s successful pursuit of a degree, every dollar invested in a local student is money invested locally to help train and prepare a skilled workforce.

The work of the Edison Foundation is broader, however, than the administration of scholarships. The foundation administers and hosts the Academy for Community Leadership, a five-day series of workshops designed to develop more effective directors, leaders, board members, staff and volunteers of not-for-profit organizations. Working closely with Troy and Piqua Community Foundations, the academy began in 2002, with the vision and support Thom and Pat Robinson of Troy. The academy has trained 188 nonprofit CEO’s, board, and staff members in the fundamental practices of board recruitment, planning, staffing, budgeting, evaluation, board meetings and community awareness to make a difference on their boards and in their communities.

entertainment in the Miami Valley. Holiday Evening consists of both a celebration and a commitment. This year, the celebration, consistent with the previous entertainment such as The Ten Tenors and Doc Severson, features The Return, one of the most sought after Beatles tribute bands in the world.

The commitment is demonstrated in the generous support of event sponsors and attendees, with all proceeds from the event going to support the Edison General Scholarship Fund.

The foundation also supports the college and its staff directly in a number of ways, one of which is the “Pie in the Sky” mini-grant. These grants are designed to provide financial support for innovative projects, programs, and services not funded through regular departmental budgets. All that is required for consideration is that the scope of the request must support the mission of the College and directly impact Edison students.

Lastly, the Edison Foundation has led the college to new heights by brokering the financial support required to design and build the Emerson/Copeland Regional Center of Excellence, the centerpiece of our Piqua campus. The center allowed the college to expand and meet the high demand for instructional space, for programs such as nursing, through the generous support of the community and industry leaders, including Emerson Climate Technologies, Upper Valley Medical Center and Wayne and Wilson Hospitals. These and other business’ support and the groundswell of giving from our community members have helped to build a campus and college the three counties can access with pride.

The final piece of this series will appear next week and will present highlights of Edison Community College’s future plans, aspirations and potential.

PERSPECTIVE

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP The Coloradoan Questions will flow over the next days, perhaps months, about the devastating Flood of 2013.

But we already know that this flood will long be recalled for its breadth and impact on lives. Not just one rainstorm, but an ongoing series of what seemed to be endless storms over two days led to death and destruction from Colorado Springs to Northern Colorado, heavily impacting communities in its path such as Boulder, Longmont, Lyons, Loveland and Fort Collins.

Just north of our city, a previous disaster — the High Park Fire — only added to its cruel notoriety by sending unfettered ash-laden waters rushing down the Poudre Canyon. And with worried eyes upon it, the Seaman Reservoir spilled over its dam, prompting road and bridge closures for miles below into Fort Collins. Poudre schools and CSU were closed, and businesses were shuttered because customers and trade couldn’t get to them.

While circumstances are different, this disaster is all too familiar for those who have lived in Northern Colorado. This situation prompts us to pause and reflect on the 1976 Big Thompson Flood, which impacted the entire canyon from Estes Park on down, as well as the 1997 Spring Creek Flood in Fort Collins. The Big Thompson Flood claimed 143 lives; five women died in the Fort Collins flood.

Since then, flood-mitigation efforts and emergency response tactics have improved dramatically, but history has shown us that not even those advancements can mend what has been lost or prevent damage from what the National Weather Service referred to as a weather pattern of biblical proportions. Road and other infrastructure damage will take millions of dollars and months to repair. More so, fears of those displaced by the floods will linger.

But those previous floods also are symbolic of the resilience of human spirit. Estes Park, Drake and Loveland rebounded from unspeakable tragedy with dignity and honor. Residents reached out to help each other not just in the immediate aftermath but for many years. In Fort Collins, friends and neighbors united with an immeasurable strength to rebuild the Spring Creek area and demand flood protections for the future. Most importantly, none of those lost have been forgotten.

We expect nothing less from Northern Colorado in the months to come. Already, help is on the way. An official with SERVE 6.8, which opened a Red Cross shelter with the Salvation Army and the Larimer County Sheriff’s Office at Timberline Church, said there had been a huge community outpouring by Friday afternoon.

Just as those impacted by the previous floods as well as wildfires have done, Northern Coloradans will extend hands and hearts to help each other once again.

The (Wis.) Journal Times Military must improve background checks The Navy was busy closing the barn door Tuesday after the horse had already run amok.

Too little, too late.

Twelve innocent people are dead along with the alleged shooter who apparently managed to get a shotgun into the “highly secure” Washington Navy Yard and went on a rampage Monday.

In a post 9/11 world this wasn’t supposed to happen.

The alleged shooter, Navy veteran Aaron Alexis, 34, was killed by police bullets but not before 12 people — civilian employees, contractors and military personnel — were dead and several other people, including a Washington, D.C., police officer, were wounded.

The rampage came even though Alexis’ history was rife with red flags that should have kept him outside the Navy Yard perimeter.

Newspapers and other media were quickly able to find out that Alexis had a pattern of misconduct as a Navy reservist. He reportedly shot out a construction worker’s tire in 2004 and fired through the ceiling of his Fort Worth, Texas, apartment in 2010, barely missing his upstairs neighbor.

Other news reports said that Alexis had contacted two Veterans Administration hospitals for apparent psychological issues.

Red flags all over.

Even with his history of eight instances of misconduct, the Navy was unable to give him a “general discharge” and settled for an honorable discharge because it reportedly lacked enough evidence.

That opened a path for him to get a security clearance with a group called The Experts that was working under a subcontract with HewlettPackard Co. (NYSE:HPQ) on upgrading computer systems.

LETTERS Boehner, Republicans ruining America To the Editor: I have been reading about, and listening to, the horrible John Boehner and his desire to shut down the government.

Do not be fooled buy his rhetoric; he wants to shut down just what will do the people harm, he has NO INTENTION of loosing his , and the rest of the parasites in Washington’s, pay or benefits.

He and his republican party are quite willing to stop paying the troops, the Social Security and other EARNED benefits OF THE PEOPLE. I believe that for every day the government is shut down, the congress looses

a months pay, and if the United States defaults, the people serving now in congress be held personally , financially responsible for it.

These people are there to represent WE THE PEOPLE, they HAVE to talk to each other like it or not. If they do not have the ability to do that they should be shown the door.

The Republican party has morphed into a self righteous bunch, that they, and they alone are right. These are the same thoughts of others like Hitler, Stalin, Moa, just to mention a few.

Doonesbury

It’s time we stop taking Troy for granted I just got back from a long weekend in northern Michigan. I have some friends who just came back from a summer at Yellowstone National Park.

I have other friends who just came back from a week in Florida.

We all were pretty much saying the same thing, only with different nouns. It goes like this: “The (mountains, ocean, lake) were beautiful.

The (small towns, beaches, wildlife) were really nice. It just seems like (Montana, Michigan, Florida) is so pretty. We don’t have things like that here.”

Well, no, we don’t. But I started thinking about this concept a bit, and you know what? There’s more here than you think.

Part of this line of thought comes from the aftermath of the Mumford and Sons concert that was held in Troy. I’ve talked to a few people and universally the opinion from outof-towners about Troy was that it is a really great place. They were impressed with the river levee and the downtown and pretty much everything that we who live here take for granted. So I started looking a little closer.

Take, for instance, the corn field storefronts in Troy, but you know across the street from my house. It what? Even the tourist haven part of has been a majestic corn field this Michigan has empty storefronts. It’s year. It doesn’t look so great now like this: people who came from out that everything is turning brown, but of town raved about the downtown you know what? If a breeze is blow- restaurants and stores.

No bears, though, where else. Yes, there are some empty which is all right with me.

No, we don’t have any mountains or any beaches. But places that do don’t have the same variety of trees or the seemingly endless fields of corn that we do. I might also add that they don’t necessarily have the same kinds of jobs or conveniences, either, but that’s another topic.

I guess my point is this: Troy might not be Yellowstone or Glen Arbor or Miami Beach, but those places are only special to us because they’re different and because we don’t see them all the time – well, except for maybe Yellowstone, which is special no matter what.

At the same time, people who visit Troy think it’s a pretty special place.

If they lived here, they might take the green space along the river and the parks and the downtown and the trees for granted just like we do. But since they don’t live here, they can offer an outside view. And from what I’ve heard, the opinions are overwhelmingly positive.

It’s great to be able to visit special places. At the same time, I think it’s just as great to come home to one.

Casinos tap intelligence network to beat cheaters UNCASVILLE, Conn. (AP) — The man at the poker table had a ball cap pulled down almost to his nose, but his glance up at a television screen revealed a familiar face to Mohegan Sun’s surveillance cameras: A photograph of the known card cheater had been sent by bulletin to casinos around the country.

Within hours, the bettor was arrested, accused of marking cards with invisible ink.

“The officer who identified him, basically she had a ‘Holy crap!’ moment,” said Jay Lindroos, the casino’s surveillance director. “She saw the face and said, ‘I recognize that guy!’”

Casinos from the U.S. to Australia use their own intelligence network to warn one another about cheaters.

As table games spread across the Northeast, resorts are using it more than ever to stay ahead of suspect players — professional thieves and card counters — who can easily hit multiple casinos in the span of a few days.

Mohegan Sun, one of the world’s largest casinos, began sharing intelligence a decade ago with its giant, next-door rival in southeastern Connecticut, the Foxwoods Resort Casino. Although it was once less common for casinos to talk with competitors, the online network has evolved through mutual self-interest.

“If something happens at Foxwoods at 1 o’clock, we’ll be aware of it no later than 2, 2:30,” said Joseph Lavin, director of public safety for the Mohegan Tribe, which owns and operates the casino. “It won’t take more than a day or so before that information goes to Atlantic City, goes to Pennsylvania, goes out to upstate New York.”

The element of luck makes it impossible to know exactly how much revenue is lost to cheaters, but 100

percent casino surveillance coverage is a security standard for a U.S. industry that generates tens of billions of dollars annually.

Workers at Mohegan Sun monitor feeds from roughly 4,000 cameras, scrutinizing the dealers as closely as they do the players. On a given day, they could be on the lookout for as many as hundreds of faces, some pointed out by other casinos, others by law enforcement agencies seeking criminals who might be trying to launder money.

If a camera picks up somebody who’s been flagged for possible cheating, security officials said they’ll watch the person play before taking any action.

The man arrested Sept. 15, Bruce

Koloshi, 54, was the subject of a security bulletin issued two weeks earlier by officials in Louisiana. He had cheating convictions in Iowa and Nevada and was facing charges in Louisiana that he marked cards last month at the L’Auberge Casino in Baton Rouge.

After the surveillance officer spotted him, Koloshi was seen moving his hands away from the Mississippi Stud poker table, allegedly for the marking substance, and cameras detected the ink that wasn’t visible to the naked eye. Koloshi wore special contact lenses to see the ink, authorities said.

He was arrested and charged with cheating, conspiracy to commit larceny and being a fugitive from justice.

His bond was set at $300,000.

Catholics cheer pope’s remarks on gays, abortion NEW YORK (AP) — Catholics attending Sunday services around the globe said they were heartened

by Pope Francis’ recent remarks that the church has become too focused on “small-minded rules” on hot-button issues like homosexuality, abortion and contraceptives.

Worshippers applauded what they heard as a message of inclusion from the man who assumed the papacy just six months ago.

“I think he’s spot on,” said Shirley Holzknecht, 77, a retired school principal attending services in Little Rock, Ark. “As Catholic Christians, we do need to be more welcoming.”

In Havana, Cuba, Irene Delgado said the church needs to adapt to modern times.

“The world evolves, and I believe that the Catholic Church is seeing that it is being left behind, and that is not good,” said Delgado, 57. “So I think that they chose this Pope Francis because he is progressive, has to change things.”

Francis, in an interview published Thursday in 16 Jesuit journals worldwide, called the church’s focus on abortion, marriage and contraception narrow and said it was driving people away.

Cardinal Timothy Dolan, the head of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, said the pope’s words were welcome.

“He’s captured the world’s imag-

ination,” Dolan said after Mass at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York. “Like Jesus, he’s always saying, ‘Hate the sin, love the sinner.’”

But Dolan said Francis’ change in tone didn’t signal a change in doctrine.

“He knows that his highest and most sacred responsibility is to pass on the timeless teaching of the church,” Dolan said. “What he’s saying is, We’ve got to think of a bit more effective way to do it.

Because if the church comes off as a scold, it’s counterproductive.”

In Brasilia, Brazil, the capital of the country with the largest Catholic population in the world, 22-year-old student Maria das Gracas Lemos said Francis was “bringing the church up to date.”

She said children of divorced parents used to be barred from some schools in Brazil. “All that has changed. In Brazil, people are no longer rejected because they are divorced,” Lemos said. “The church has to catch up with changes in society, even if it still doesn’t admit divorce.”

In Philadelphia, churchgoer Irene Fedin said priests “should be more focused on helping the person gain a spiritual connection to God instead of just condemning people because of certain actions that they believe are wrong.”

Outside a church in Coral Gables, Fla., Frank Recio said he was grate-

ful that the pope is trying to shift the church’s tone.

“I’m a devout Catholic, always have been. I think the Catholic Church had gotten out of touch with the way the world was evolving,” said Recio, 69, who’s retired from a career in the technology industry.

Recio said he would support changes like allowing priests to marry. “It’s a natural state in life, for men and women to have a partner,” said Recio.

In Boston, Evelyn Martinez, 26, said she agrees with Francis that compassion should be one of the church’s main priorities.

“I don’t believe that someone’s sexuality should keep them away from any religion,” said Martinez, a graduate student at Emerson College who attended Mass on Saturday night.

Jose Baltazar, a 74-year-old vice president of an insurance company and longtime church volunteer in Manila, in the Philippines, said the pope has set his priorities mindful of stark realities.

“We have to give priority in working to bring those who have gone astray back to the fold,” Baltazar said. “We pray for them. Why did they go astray? What’s our shortcoming? What’s the shortcoming of the Catholic Church?”

Five numbers essential to know for health SHNS — When it comes to managing our health, we all know it’s a numbers game. We count calories, watch our weight and track how many miles we run.

We obsess about the stats that keep us fit, but are clueless about the kinds of numbers that reveal how healthy — or unhealthy — we truly are.

Most of us don’t know the difference between systolic and diastolic blood-pressure numbers, nor could we rattle off our body-mass index.

“These are simple things for us to look at,” said Dr. David Delaney Elsner, a family physician at the HealthEast Roseville Clinic in

Roseville, Minn. “Being aware of these things sooner rather than later can be very helpful for preventing long-term problems.”

In these digital times, checking your blood pressure and body-mass index has never been easier.

There are blood-pressure apps and even home monitors you can hook up to your iPhone. Online calculators for BMI and kiosks at pharmacies and grocery stores make it convenient to get readings. Many companies offer health screenings for their employees. Still, health experts recommend a physical exam once a year, at which time these very impor-

tant numbers can be discussed.

Get to know these five barometers of wellness: BLOOD PRESSURE: less than 120/80 What it is: Measures the pressure of blood flowing through your arteries. “Think of it as a garden hose,” said Tasha Gastony, a physician’s assistant at the Park Nicollet Clinic in Eagan, Minn. “The higher the pressure, the more risk there (is for) damage to that blood vessel and damage to the organs that those vessels feed.”

Why it’s important: People with high blood pressure often don’t feel any symptoms. Untreated high blood pressure, over

time, greatly increases the chances of having a stroke, heart disease or kidney failure.

T O T A L CHOLESTEROL: below 200 mg/dL What it is: This number is a combination of high-density lipoproteins (HDL), low-density lipoproteins (LDL) and other fats in your blood.

Why it’s important: If there’s too much cholesterol in your blood, it keeps circulating and that bad cholesterol can eventually enter the bloodvessel walls. A buildup of fatty deposits in the arteries can block blood flow.

FASTING BLOOD SUGAR: less than 100

mg/dL What it is: Tells you what the sugar content is in your blood.

Why it’s important: Helps screen for diabetes.

BMI: less than 25 What it is: Stands for body-mass index. It’s a formula that takes your mass (in kilograms), divided by height (in meters squared). It helps determine if you’re at a normal weight, underweight, overweight or obese.

Why it’s important: People who are overweight or obese are at a much higher risk for health problems such as high blood pressure, coronary vascular disease, diabetes, obstructive

sleep apnea and arthritis. A BMI that’s under 18.5 is considered underweight, and might indicate an eating disorder.

WA I ST SIZE: less than 35 inches (women); less than 40 inches (men).

What it is: The circumference around your belly — the area above your hipbone and below your ribcage.

Why it’s important: People with large waistlines have too much abdominal fat, putting them at a high risk for Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and coronary vascular disease.

Sept. 18, 2013 -- Volunteer chef Suzanne Kennedy serves Fred Campagna, 92, at the Bay Pines VA Medical Center’s hospice.

Hospice’s volunteer chef gives food, time and comfort SHNS — With a shock of white hair and a dancer’s build, Fred Campagna is not a big man. Wearing three bathrobes at once doesn’t hide his slightness.

Nonetheless, Campagna, 92, is a person of strong opinions.

Abandoning the walker festooned with a tiny American flag, he leaned against the kitchen island and made a pronouncement.

Suzanne Kennedy’s spaghetti sauce was as good as — nay, better than — his own mother’s. And he should know. He’s Italian.

He has lived at Bay Pines Hospice for three months and has had ample opportunity to scrutinize Kennedy’s work. A retired professional chef who lives in Redington Shores, Kennedy, 61, volunteers every Wednesday to cook for hospice residents and their families.

She gets “last supper” requests regularly, memories pulled from deepest childhood that involve sloppy Joes, mac and cheese, meatloaf.

She has even accommodated dying veterans who have craved that muchmaligned military staple, “S.O.S.” • Kennedy calls it the worst September ever.

She had just been diagnosed with breast cancer, her sister-in-law was in the hospital and her brotherin-law entered Bay Pines Hospice, where he died of congestive heart failure.

That was 2011, and by December the former personal chef was volunteering, combing through the donated food and making grocery lists, organizing and shopping for the four other volunteer cooks.

On the first Wednesday of this month, the menu was stuffed shells paired with a green salad, little caprese skewers with basil from Kennedy’s garden and one of her secret-weapon desserts: a Waldorf pie with deceptively few ingredients.

By 11:15 a.m. the smell of tomato sauce, molten mozzarella and ricotta wafted out to the nurses’ station, and Kennedy

gently invited the hospice folks to lunch.

Betty Koepnick was there. Her son Bob, a 60-year-old Vietnam veteran, had been in hospice for two weeks.

“My son says, ‘Mom, be sure you get here for lunch on Wednesday.’ He raves about her food,” Koepnick says, tilting her head at Kennedy as she dabbed at her eyes with a paper napkin. Bob’s not eating much these days, but he likes the idea of his mom having a nice lunch.

For people like Ada Lewis, what the volunteer chefs at Bay Pines Hospice provide is time.

She described how, when her husband was sick last year, she never wanted to run out to get something to eat. She didn’t want to leave Greg alone, didn’t want to risk missing his last moments.

So Kennedy and her fellow volunteers stock the fridge with meals the families can nuke.

• When Campagna came in for lunch, Kennedy gave him a big

hug. She leaned toward his good ear and recited the day’s menu before helping him get a plate of shells.

While he dined he told his story. Started work for Ford Motors at age 14. Drafted, ending World War II in the 1,269th Engineer Combat Battalion, among the first troops to come upon the concentration camp at Dachau, Germany. After that, a hairdresser for 30 years (but in the 1970s he refused to back-comb — he had his standards), then a ballroom dance instructor.

It’s a long story.

Looking down, his plate is still full, his plastic fork idly skating shells across tomato sauce.

For all of Kennedy’s professional chops, for all her carefully vetted recipes, sometimes what she’s doing at Bay Pines is not feeding people, but giving them the sights and smells and rituals of one of life’s small joys. And sometimes that’s enough.

SHNS — Most seniors with terminal cancer say they want to die at home or in a hospice, surrounded by loved ones.

They don’t want hightech medical heroics.

Yet a new study finds many of them spend their final days in hospital intensive care units, or leave the hospital only a few days before they die.

What’s more, researchers from the famed Dartmouth Atlas Group found, where you live may have a lot to do with what happens to you.

For example, 45 percent of senior advancedstage cancer patients in St. Petersburg, Fla., spent time in an intensive care unit during their last month of life.

But that happened to just about 10 percent of similar patients in Bismarck, N.D., and 15 percent in Colorado Springs, Colo.

On the other hand, about 19 percent of senior terminal cancer patients in Florida died in a hospital. In California, the figure was 31 percent.

These geographic variations come as no surprise to Dr. Robert Walker, director of Ethics, Humanities and Palliative Medicine at University of South Florida Health.

“This study highlights a common problem,” he said. “People are still receiving very aggressive care at the end of life, when their preferences are to not go for length of life, but to choose quality of life. There’s a mismatch between what patients seem to want and what they seem to get.

The Dartmouth Atlas Project, which for 20 years has documented variations in how medical resources are used,

looked at Medicare cancer treatment data from 2003 to 2007 and compared it to similar data from 2010. The last month of life is frequently studied because at that point, many experts say, it should be clear whether more treatment is likely to help patients.

They saw that hospice enrollment did increase from 54.6 percent to 61.3 percent in that period for patients in their last month of life. And the number of cancer patients dying in hospitals fell from almost 29 percent to 24.7 percent.

But here’s the catch: Many patients were shifted into hospice programs or sent home only days before they died.

So they still had a lot of invasive care in their final month of life, rather than the comfort care many surveys indicate such patients prefer.

“Care doesn’t reflect what patients want and need, but rather the practice of the region” where that care is delivered, said Dr. David Goodman, Dartmouth Atlas Project co-principal investigator.

Over the study period, admissions to the intensive care unit in the last month of life increased by 22 percent. And there was no change in the use of treatments such as CPR and chemotherapy.

Meanwhile, the number of patients admitted to hospice during the last three days of life increased from 8.3 percent to 10.9 percent over the study period. That’s much too late to realize the benefits hospice offers dying patients and their families, say endof-life experts.

The study looked at regional differences, and it also looked at individual hospitals.

Fit as a fiddle, inspiring others at 99 SHNS — Ruth Myers, 99, got up early on a recent Wednesday, fixed herself breakfast and put on a pot of coffee. She ran the American flag up the pole in front of her Bayonet Point, Fla., home, just like every other morning.

Then she cranked up her 2002 Buick Century and headed for the gym.

First up: 35 minutes on the stationary bike, just to work up a sweat and get loose. Next, some light weights before heading into an hourlong exercise class with about 50 other seniors in the SilverSneakers program, most of them youngsters by comparison.

“She’s a celebrity,” said Laurie Stidham, who leads 18 classes at the Family Fitness Center. “She’s an inspiration.’

Myers, a regular at the gym for the past three years, will turn 100 on Dec.

20. She has outlived two husbands and all but one relative, a niece. She retired as an executive from General Electric in Fort Wayne, Ind., after 40 years.

She’s never had an operation and the only pills she takes are vitamins.

And here’s something you seldom see describing a centenarian: “May I be so bold as to say she has a nice little body shape.”

Blush.

Stidham dropped that little observation in a letter to Healthways, the company that administers SilverSneakers to Medicare-aged people in 11,000 facilities around the country. She was nominating her star exercise student for the Richard L. Swanson Inspiration Award, created in 1992 by the founder of the program, Mary Swanson, to honor her father.

Healthways named Myers one of four finalists out of 300 candidates and will honor her at a ceremony on Sept. 25 at the Family Fitness Center.

That word got around fast on this Wednesday, and her fellow seniors about wore her out with their hugs.

“This is what I love,” she said. “The hugs. When I go work out, I just feel so different. We have a ball, and I love it that Laurie pushes me. I sure don’t feel my age.”

Nobody else in her family made it into their 90s. Her mother was only 46 when she died of typhoid fever. Myers left the family farm as a teenager for Fort Wayne and survived the Great Depression cleaning houses and fixing sandwiches in a delicatessen. In 1937, she applied for a factory assembly-line job at General Electric.

SHNS Photo After a 35-minute warm-up on the stationary bike, Ruth Myers, 99, hit the lat-pull-down machine at the Family Fitness Center. She followed that with some light dumbbells before heading into an exercise class with about 50 other seniors.

HOROSCOPE

BY FRANCES DRAKE

For Tuesday, Sept. 24, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) It's easy to be confused today, so don't worry if this is how you feel. You're not alone. Make an effort to make sure others understand your meaning.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Financial issues are subject to misunderstandings today, so be careful. If shopping, count your change and keep your receipts. Be alert to errors and slip-ups.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Today the Moon is in your sign, but it is at odds with Neptune. This makes it easy to kid yourself about something. Don't do it!

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You might have second thoughts or self-doubts today. No worries. We all get these from time to time. However, today it's as if there are weird spores in the air.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Conversations with others, especially females, are subject to confusion today. However, more than that, they also are subject to deceit.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Be clear in all your communication with authority figures today. Don't be tempted to lie in order to save face about something. (You won't get away with it.)

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Don't be a sucker if someone tries to talk you into different ideas about politics, religion and racial issues. It's good to have an open mind, but today it's better to be on guard.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) This is a poor day to make important decisions about inheritances, shared property or how to divide anything. If you think you're not getting your fair share, speak up!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Conversations with partners and close friends are subject to confusion and misunderstandings today. Be aware of this. Do your best to be clear in all communication.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Issues at work might be confusing today, because co-workers are either misinformed or deliberately giving you wrong information. (Surely not.)

Give others the benefit of the doubt, but double-check everything.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) You might be disappointed in a romantic interest today. Don't take this seriously because you could be misreading signals. Parent should be vigilant about their children today, especially about ingesting poisonous materials.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Family conversations might disappoint you today. You might even wonder if someone is being totally honest with you. (Perhaps he or she is afraid to tell the truth.)

YOU BORN TODAY You are free spirit who loves fun, whimsy and imaginative escapades. You adore travel and exploring new places and ideas. However, you long for something to sink your teeth into --a passion to which you can commit. You're flirtatious and experimental, and yet, you want stability. This year an important choice will arise. Choose wisely.

Birthdate of: F. Scott Fitzgerald, author; Blind Lemon Jefferson, blues performer; Linda McCartney, musician/activist.

Area golf teams head into postseason on fire Colin Foster

Associate Sports Editor colinfoster@civitasmedia.com

This new weekly piece is supposed to be dedicated to sports other than football in Miami County.

This week will be the exception.

Yes … a little football talk will be included.

The threat of lightning storms Friday night forced Troy, Miami East and Troy Christian to play Saturday — which caused a wave of panic and confusion in the newsroom with an already busy Saturday sports schedule.

No worries, though, we had it covered then — and we will provide a little more in-depth coverage now.

But before the nice

September 23, 2013

Josh Brown

weather wears off, we will hit the links for this week’s feature on Miami County golf.

• Hitting The Links The postseason is on the horizon in high school golf.

And many area teams have been making noise on the links.

The Troy boys golf team (13-3) is fresh off a 4-0 run through the Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division. Troy has been under 155 five times this season, with its best score of the year (148) coming in a win over Chaminade Julienne on Sept. 18.

Connor Super, Kaleb Tittle, Grant Kasler and Dalton Cacaden were all 40 or under for Troy in their final

GWOC North win over Piqua earlier in the week.

The Trojans have a match against Wayne Tuesday, before the GWOC tournament begins Thursday.

The Tippecanoe girls won the Central Buckeye Conference tournament in dominating fashion Thursday.

Lindsey Murray — who has averaged a little over 35 per round this season — was named medalist for the third consecutive year as the Red Devils finished with a team score of 345. The runner-up team was Indian Lake with a score of 360.

Aside from Murray, who shot a 75 at the tournament, Ally Chitwood, Erika Brownlee, Sammie Rowland and Tori Merrick all earned See LINKS | 14

Troy’s Connor Super takes a swing during a match against Piqua earlier in the week. The Trojans finished Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division play unbeaten.

Bengals rally for victory

we’ve continued to improve every week since the season opener. We can’t go back and change what happened; we can only focus on things week-by-week, game-bygame, from here on out.”

It certainly won’t be easy, as 3-1 Miamisburg comes to Troy Memorial Stadium Friday. Last year in Miamisburg, the Vikings defeated the Trojans 7-6 in a game that may have served as the tipping point for the entire season. Troy had numerous chances to win the

CINCINNATI (AP) — A game full of weirdness came down to the final flub, one that bounced right into Terence Newman’s arms.

The cornerback returned a fumble 58 yards for a touchdown with 3:47 left on Sunday, rallying the Cincinnati Bengals to a 34-30 victory over Green Bay in a game of wild momentum swings set up by nonstop turnovers.

“We learned some valuable lessons and survived one today that you don’t survive very often,” coach Marvin Lewis said.

The lesson? Just hold onto the ball.

Each team gave it away four times. Each team returned a fumble for a touchdown — M.D. Jennings ran one back for Green Bay (1-2).

The Bengals blew a 14-point lead, and the Packers let a 16-point lead get away in the second half. Green Bay scored 30 consecutive points and lost.

And no, the weather wasn’t a factor. Nobody could blame the cool, sunny afternoon for all the oddities.

“There’s been a lot of crazy games since I’ve been here,” seventh-year cornerback Leon Hall said. “But that one’s up there. Top three.”

The Bengals (2-1) finished it off when Michael Johnson batted down Aaron Rodgers’ fourth-down pass at the Cincinnati 20-yard line with 1:21 left, ending a subpar showing for the quarterback.

It was the first time in 14 years that a team won after allowing an opponent to score 30 consecutive points in a game.

“We didn’t flinch,” safety Reggie Nelson said. “You expect a great team like that to score.”

TROY — It’s amzing what a difference a few weeks — and a few wins — can make.

Just three weeks ago, the Troy football team was staring down the very real possibility of becoming the first team to open the season 0-3 since 1982.

Since then, however, the

Trojans have defeated Xenia 30-23 and Springfield 21-20, are at .500 for the first time since Week 5 of last year and have the chance to do something they haven’t done since 2011 — win three games in a row.

“We are pretty happy with where we are right now,” Troy coach Scot Brewer said. “Obviously we weren’t real happy after the first two weeks of the season, but

They’re certainly going Hamilton’s way at the moment.

His presence has given the Reds a needed late-season jolt. He was at it again on Sunday, easily taking second base in the second inning and doing it again in the sixth. Hamilton is 12 for 12 on swipe tries since his late-season promotion from Triple-A and is 6 for 14 and has scored nine times as a major leaguer.

Luck outshines Kaepernick in Colts’ upset of 49ers SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Jim Harbaugh’s former quarterback outplayed his current one, hands down.

Andrew Luck threw for 164 yards and ran for a 6-yard touchdown while facing college coach Jim Harbaugh for the first time, and the Indianapolis Colts defeated the San Francisco 49ers 27-7 on Sunday.

Trent Richardson scored a 1-yard touchdown on his first carry in his Colts debut after being acquired on Wednesday from the Browns. He was drafted two spots behind top pick Luck at No. 3 last year.

Ahmad Bradshaw added a 1-yard TD run in the final minutes, and Adam Vinatieri kicked a pair of field goals before missing a 51-yarder early in the fourth.

But Luck came through again to give Indianapolis (2-1) more opportunities.

It was Colin Kaepernick’s his first home loss at Candlestick Park as a starter.

Frank Gore ran for 82 yards after going for 60 total in his first two games, but there were few bright spots for Kaepernick as San Francisco (1-2) struggled to establish a passing game with tight end Vernon Davis sidelined by a hamstring injury. The defense committed numerous costly penalties for the third straight week.

Luck completed his initial six passes and spoiled the home team’s reunion day between coaches on both sides who know each other’s tendencies dating to their days at Stanford.

The Colts sure appeared to be better prepared.

Luck sent third-year coach Harbaugh to consecutive losses for the first time.

PANTHERS 38, GIANTS 0 CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Cam Newton threw three touchdown passes and ran for another, and Carolina sacked Eli

AP PHOTO Indianapolis Colts running back Trent Richardson (34) runs against San Francisco 49ers cornerback Tarell Brown (25) during the third quarter of an NFL football game Sunday in San Francisco.

Manning seven times as the Panthers handed Tom Coughlin his worst defeat as coach of the New York Giants, 38-0 Sunday.

It was the largest margin of victory in Panthers history.

The Panthers (1-2) allowed Newton to run out of the read option, which helped open up an offense that had been mostly stagnant this season. Newton had 223 yards passing and threw two touchdown passes to Brandon LaFell and one to Ted Ginn Jr. He ran for 45 yards and his first TD of the season.

The Giants are in trouble: Of the 161 teams that have started the season 0-3 since 1978, only five made the NFL playoffs, according to STATS LLC. PATRIOTS 23, BUCCANEERS 3 FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Tom Brady threw two touchdown passes to Kenbrell Thompkins to lead New England to a one-sided win over Tampa Bay. Thompkins, an undrafted

free agent, scored on plays of 16 and 5 yards in the first half.

Aaron Dobson, a second-round draft pick, finished with seven catches for 52 yards. In their first two games, the rookies combined for just nine receptions.

SAINTS 31, CARDINALS 7 NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Drew Brees passed for three scores and scrambled for New Orleans’ first touchdown rushing of the season in a victory over Arizona.

The Saints quarterback was 29 of 46 for 342 yards, with two TD strikes to tight end Jimmy Graham and the other to Robert Meachem.

Brees was intercepted once by New Orleans native and former LSU star Tyrann Mathieu. That play ended a scoring threat, but only delayed the inevitable on a day when Arizona’s short-handed defense was little match for the prolific passing attack of the Saints

(3-0).

COWBOYS 31, RAMS 7 ARLINGTON, Texas — DeMarco Murray ran for 175 yards and a touchdown two years after torching St. Louis with a franchise record as a rookie, and Tony Romo threw for three scores in Dallas’ rout.

Murray had his first 100-yard game in more than a year.

The Cowboys (2-1) sacked Sam Bradford four times in the first half and had six overall after St. Louis (1-2) hadn’t allowed a sack in four games, dating to last season. It was the Rams’ longest streak since John Hadl was under center for a division champion in 1973.

RAVENS 30, TEXANS 9 BALTIMORE — Daryl Smith had a 37-yard interception return for a TD, Tandon Doss took a punt 82 yards for another score, and Baltimore smothered Houston’s high-powered offense.

The Ravens (2-1) won despite playing without Ray Rice for the first time since 2008. The three-time Pro Bowl running back was replaced by Bernard Pierce, who ran for 65 yards and a touchdown.

Houston (2-1) led 6-3 before Smith picked off Matt Schaub’s pass and took it into the end zone with 2:39 left in the first half. Less than two minutes later, Doss had his first punt return for a touchdown.

LIONS 27, REDSKINS 20 LANDOVER, Md. — Matthew Stafford completed 25 of 42 passes for 385 yards with two touchdowns and one interception, and Calvin Johnson and Nate Burleson both had 100 yards receiving for Detroit, which beat Washington on the road for the first time since 1939.

The Lions (2-1) ended a 21-game streak against the Redskins, the second-longest in NFL history. Detroit’s last win away from home in the series came in 1935 against the Boston Redskins, two years before the move to Washington.

Robert Griffin III and the defending NFC East champion Redskins fell to 0-3.

TITANS 20, CHARGERS 17 NASHVILLE, Tenn.— Jake Locker helped Tennessee end a skid against the San Diego that spanned two states and two decades.

Locker threw a 34-yard touchdown pass to rookie Justin Hunter with 15 seconds left and the Titans rallied to beat the Chargers.

It was their first win over the Chargers for the franchise since 1992 when the team was in Houston and Titans coach Mike Munchak still was playing for the then-Oilers.

Not giving up yet Hoyer helps Browns stun Vikings 31-27 MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The young running back was traded away, the thirdstringer was picked to start at quarterback, and Cleveland’s jaded fan base was already pushing this week for the first pick in next year’s draft.

The Browns haven’t given up on the season, though.

Minnesota’s might be slipping away.

Jordan Cameron caught three touchdown passes, including the go-ahead grab in the back of the end zone with 51 seconds left, and the Browns kept the Vikings winless with a 31-27 victory Sunday.

“If you let the distractions that are outside of the locker room affect the way you play, then you are tanking the season and you will have no chance,” said Joe Thomas, the three-time All-Pro left tackle.

Brian Hoyer threw for three scores in his second career start, and the Browns (1-2) became the latest team

to torch Minnesota’s struggling secondary, which lost top cornerback Chris Cook to a groin injury in the first quarter. Hoyer overcame three interceptions to throw for 321 yards, going 30 for 54. Josh Gordon had 10 catches for 146 yards and a touchdown in his season debut, and Cameron had six receptions for 66 yards.

“It’s just a matter of believing in Brian and believing in ourselves, and we did a good job of that,” Cameron said.

Christian Ponder ran for two touchdowns for the Vikings (0-3), but he threw an interception, lost a fumble and took his sixth sack on the final play of the game. The Vikings went three-and-out six times, twice in the fourth quarter when they could’ve put the game away.

Ponder almost hit Jerome Simpson in a crowd at the goal line on the penultimate play, but the Vikings didn’t get closer than the 34.

“We’ve got to look our-

selves in the mirror and change this around quickly, because we’re going to make sure this doesn’t steamroll and snowball downhill,” Ponder said.

After scoring 16 points over the first two games, dealing 2012 first-round draft pick Trent Richardson to Indianapolis and putting Hoyer in for the injured Brandon Weeden, the Browns looked finished.

They were behind 7-0 after a long Vikings touchdown drive and a 45-second possession of their own forced a punt.

But they held Adrian Peterson to 88 yards and one score on 25 rushes, used a fake punt and a fake field goal in the first half to build a lead and kept the Vikings from scoring after Hoyer’s first two interceptions. The third one,

by Erin Henderson, set up Ponder’s scramble for 8 yards to tie the game late in the third quarter.

The Vikings got Blair

AP PHOTO Cleveland Browns tight end Jordan Cameron, left, catches a 7-yard touchdown pass over Minnesota Vikings free safety Harrison Smith, right, during the second half of an NFL football game Sunday in Minneapolis. The Browns won 31-27.

Walsh’s second field goal of the game with 10:47 remaining, but they stalled at the 12 and missed an opportunity there, too. The defense held the Browns without scoring for seven straight possessions, but like last week in the one-point loss at Chicago faltered on the final drive when the failure stung the most.

“I don’t know if guys underestimated the Browns com-

ing in or what the deal was, but we have to take a long look in the mirror and get better,” said defensive end Jared Allen, who was held without a sack or a tackle and was credited with one quarterback pressure against Thomas.

The Browns started at their 45 with 3:21 left and finished the commanding march with a 7-yard pass by Hoyer

to the corner for Cameron, the budding standout tight end Cameron who has 20 catches for 267 yards and four scores already this year.

Hoyer, who played for New England and Arizona after a nondescript career at Michigan State, grew up in a suburb of Cleveland rooting for the Browns. So he knew how the fans were feeling after the Richardson trade.

Bengals From page 11 The second-half comeback completed an exhilarating week at Paul Brown Stadium for the Bengals, who beat AFC North rival Pittsburgh 20-10 on Monday night with an impressive defensive game.

The defense made the difference again against Rodgers and Green Bay’s high-powered but injurydepleted offense. Rodgers was 26 of 43 for 244 yards with a touchdown, but was sacked four times and threw two interceptions.

“It was a frustrating game,” Rodgers said. “We spot ‘em 14, score 30 in a row and they get 20.

I played poorly and the defense played well enough for us to win.”

The Packers were running on empty at the end.

Green Bay lost tight end Jermichael Finley to a concussion and ran out of running backs. Eddie Lacy was inactive with a concussion, James Starks hurt a knee in the first half, and rookie Johnathan AP PHOTO Franklin ran for 103 yards and a Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Terence Newman returns an inter- touchdown before limping off at ception during an NFL football game against the Green Bay the start of the final series.

The Bengals were missing corPackers Sunday in Cincinnati. nerback Dre Kirkpatrick, sidelined

with a hamstring injury, but got plenty of pressure on Rodgers and made the deciding turnover.

Trying to put the game away, Green Bay went for it on fourthand-1 at the Cincinnati 30-yard line. Franklin was stripped of the ball at the line, Nelson picked it up and started to run but fumbled — of course! — and Newman scooped it up and went the rest of the way.

“I saw Reggie pick it up and I was trying to get a block and somebody was trying to tackle him,” Newman said. “I was screaming: Pitch it!

Pitch it! Next thing I know, I saw the ball pop loose. It took a nice little bounce where I could just grab it and run.”

When he reached the end zone, Newman jumped into the stands in celebration.

“I know they were a big Lambeau leap team, so I wanted to jump up there,” Newman said. “I saw a bunch of fans over there. I don’t know what came over me. I’ll never do that again.”

Cincinnati scored two touchdowns within a 12-second span in the first quarter, aided by a fumble

on a kickoff, but wound up having to play catch-up as its offense bogged down.

Andy Dalton was 20 of 28 for 235 yards with two touchdowns, an interception and a fumble that Jennings returned 24 yards for a touchdown in the second quarter, sparking Green Bay’s comeback.

With Green Bay missing linebacker Clay Matthews to a hamstring injury, Dalton threw touchdown passes of 20 yards to A.J. Green and 11 yards to Marvin Jones, cutting the deficit to 30-27.

Notes: The last time a team won a game after giving up 30 straight points was Sept. 12, 1999, when Dallas rallied to beat Washington 41-35 in overtime after the Redskins scored 32 unanswered points. …

Starks ran for 132 yards in a 38-20 win at Washington last week, ending Green Bay’s streak of 45 games without a 100-yard rusher. Now, they have back-to-back games with a 100-yard rusher. … The Packers had only 16 turnovers last season, second-fewest in the NFL.

Stenson captures Tour title ATLANTA (AP) — Henrik Stenson knows better than most players how it feels to go from the depths of a slump to the elite in golf.

He's done it twice now.

And the second time was sweeter — and richer — than ever.

Not even among the top 200 players in the world two years ago, Stenson capped off the best three months of his career with a command performance Sunday in the Tour Championship.

With a birdie to thwart a late charge by Jordan Spieth, followed by three pars from the sand, the 37-year-old Swede closed with a 2-under 68 on Sunday for a three-shot victory to capture the FedEx Cup. He walked away with $11.44 million — $10 million for the FedEx Cup ($9 million of that in cash) and $1.44 million for winning the Tour Championship.

"It shows that I never give up," Stenson said, who also moves to No. 4 in the world. "This is way beyond what I could have imagined."

Even with a four-shot lead, the final round was a battle. There were two trophies on display on the first tee. He knew he could still win the FedEx Cup even if he didn't win the Tour Championship.

Ultimately, he figured good golf would take care of everything, and it did.

Stenson became the first player to win the Tour Championship wireto-wire with no ties since Tom Watson in 1987, the first year of this 30-man showcase.

Kenseth wins 2nd Chase race LOUDON, N.H. (AP) — Matt Kenseth just might win a championship with a touch of dominance, not dullness.

Kenseth has firmly defended the style of his 2003 championship, stating his one-win season in the final year before NASCAR made the move to the playoff-style Chase format was as meaningful as all the titles collected by Jimmie Johnson or Tony Stewart.

He probably won’t have to justify anything about his Cup run this season. There are plenty of checkered flags.

Kenseth made it 2 for 2 in the Chase, holding off Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Kyle Busch to win Sunday at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

He followed his win in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship opener at Chicagoland with his series-high seventh victory of the season. Kenseth made his 500th career start and built a 14-point lead over Busch before the series shifts to Dover.

One win or seven, Kenseth will take a title any way he can.

“If you’re fortunate enough to win a championship, or another championship, I don’t think there’s a bad way to win it,” he said.

“I know it still gets brought up because it was the last year without the Chase and we won once race. But I was real proud of what we did that year. It was tough to accomplish.”

Kenseth was paired with owner Jack Roush for more than a decade and won 22 races, a pair of Daytona 500s and the 2003 championship. He’s having a career year in his first season at JGR, obliterating his previous season best for wins — 5 in 2002.

“I don’t feel like I’m necessarily a better driver than what I was last year,” he said. “Certainly, things are different.”

Just a little bit.

Troy Daily News • www.troydailynews.com

Streaking From page 11 game — including a chance at a two-point conversion that would have won the game late.

Miamisburg held on for the win, however, and the Trojans only won two more games over the course of the final five weeks of the season.

With all of that in mind, Troy has a chance to build momentum heading into the second half of the season with a win over Miamisburg Friday.

First, however, some final notes from Troy’s 21-20 win over Springfield Saturday: • Player of the Game: For the third week in a row, it’s impossible not to give this honor to Miles Hibbler.

Against the Wildcats, he carried the ball 41 times for 207 yards and all three of Troy’s touchdowns. More important than any of that, however, Hibbler came in on

defense on the game’s final drive and picked off a pass from Springfield quarterback Davonte James in the end zone to preserve the victory for the Trojans.

Through four games this season, Hibbler has racked up 675 rushing yards, which puts him well on pace to become Troy’s first 1,000-yard rusher since Matt Allen accomplished the feat in 2008. Troy’s four years without a 1,000-yard rusher is the longest streak since 1984.

No team has managed to hold the speedy Hibbler — who has committed to play football at Kent State University — under 100 yards rushing yet this season.

• Unsung Hero of the Game: Junior Drew Burghardt hopes to one day make his name known as a tight end

or defensive lineman for the Trojans.

Saturday, however, it was his ability to kick the ball that helped the Trojans pull out the narrow victory.

While the Wildcats struggled in the kicking game — missing a pair of extra points and running in a two-point conversion — Burghardt was rock solid for the Trojans, sending all three of his extra point attempts through the uprights. In a game that was decided by one point, Burgharst was the difference for the Trojans.

• Play of the Game: While it would be easy to select any of Hibbler’s three touchdowns, Burghardt’s extra points or the interception that sealed the game for the Trojans, perhaps the biggest play game just before halftime when the

Wildcats appeared well on their way to returning their second kickoff of the game for a touchdown.

Troy had just gone up 21-20 with 10 seconds left to play in the first half on Hibbler’s third touchdown run. Springfield — which had returned a kickoff 85 yards for a touchdown after Hibbler’s first touchdown earlier in the game — broke free and appeared to be heading for another score with no time left on the clock.

Troy’s Brandon Lee ran down the Wildcats’ Danny Davis at Troy’s 10-yard line, however, keeping Springfield off the board. Considering Troy wasn’t able to score in the second half — along with the momentum the Wildcats would have gained by scoring on a kickoff return just before halftime — that may have been the most important play the Trojans made Saturday.

• What We Learned: It would appear it’s never going to be easy for the Trojans.

Simply put, this year’s version of the Troy football team isn’t like some of the powerhouse teams of Troy’s

past — teams that would frequently have games wrapped up by halftime, if not the end of the first quarter. Four weeks into the season, it has become apparent that this year’s Troy team is likely going to be in a dogfight every week — and a handful of plays, particularly late, could mean the difference between victory and defeat.

Troy’s past three games have been decided by a grand total of 11 points. That doesn’t appear to be a trend that’s going to change anytime soon.

Troy’s defense continues to improve — it pitched a shutout in the second half against Springfield — while the offense really seems to have found its stride with Hibbler carrying the ball. Even more encouraging is the fact Troy’s offense was able to get more players involved against the Wildcats, with quarterback Matt Barr throwing for 120 yards and receiver Austin Kyzer hauling in six receptions for 88 yards.

The previous week against Xenia, Troy’s offense ran almost exclusively though Hibbler. As teams load up to

stop Troy’s talented back the final half of the season, the Trojans will have to find other ways to move the ball.

• What Happens Next: There’s no way to understate how important Friday’s game againt Miamisburg is for the Trojans.

Troy has a chance to pick up its first victory against a team with a winning record, pick up momentum going into Greater Western Ohio Conference North Divsision play and exorcise some demons from last season.

It won’t be easy. Miamisburg is a program on the rise.

Largely an afterthought for much of the previous decade, the Vikings have improve by leaps and bounds under head coach Steve Channell, who guided Miamisburg to a 7-3 record last season, his first at the school after putting together an illustrious 21-year career at Edgewood that included a 152-79 record, 11 confrence titles, 10 playoff appearances, four state semifinal appearances and the 2003 Division II state championship game.

Division III boys sectional play begins Tuesday. Miami East and Lehman go to Beechwood Golf Course, while Bethel, Bradford, Covington, Newton and Troy Christian travel to Turtle Creek.

• Quick Hitters — The Troy volleyball team beat Sidney Thursday to clinch a shore of the GWOC North Division title. To clinch the title outright, the Trojans must

beat Piqua Tuesday on Senior Night in Troy.

— Some of the best volleyball teams in Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky traveled to play in the “Clash in Casstown” Saturday at Miami East High School. The Vikings were tournament runner-ups, losing to Bellmont (Ind.) in the finals.

— Miami County bragging rights are on the line this week in cross country.

The Miami County Cross Country Invitational will be held Saturday at Lowry Complex in West Milton. Look for a pair of Troy boys — sophomore Stephen Jones and senior Branden Nosker — to duke it out for the top spot in the high school boys race.

Jones won the Troy Invite Saturday, beating Nosker by 11 seconds. Troy Christian’s Zac Garver, Newton’s Brady McBride and a slew of Tipp boys should also be vying for top 10 finishes in the boys race.

In the girls race, Tipp’s Allison Sinning is probably the front runner. Look for Troy’s Rachel Davidson, Covington’s Carly Shell, Miami East’s Marie Ewing to be in the mix for top 10 spots. Expect the top portion of the pack to be from Tipp, Troy, Covington and East in that race.

The Tippecanoe boys and girls teams are both state ranked — and look to be the favorites heading into the meet.

— The Troy boys soccer team is kind of like butter — its on a roll. The Trojans took down undefeated Tecumseh Saturday, which extended their unbeaten streak to seven games.

— And last but not least … it’s time to talk a little football.

Three teams from the area, Covington, Tipp and Miami East, entered Week 4 unbeaten — and all of those teams stayed unbeaten when the dust settled.

The Buccs were impressive in almost every faze of the game Friday night in a 54-7 victory over Bethel. Senior A.J. Ouellette returned two punts for touchdowns, had two rushing scores and one passing TD in the victory — and all of those TDs came in the first half. Covington hosts Bradford this week.

The Miami East game against Arcanum was moved to 11 a.m. Saturday. Once the game started, the Vikings didn’t wait long to get going — jumping out to a 21-point first quarter cushion before the Trojans knew what hit them.

East won the game by a score of 49-13, improving to 4-0, 3-0 in CCC play.

Tippecanoe didn’t mess around against Indian Lake, winning by a score of 56-6.

Through four games, the Red Devils have outscored teams 215-20. The road will get tougher though, with Tipp having to play Kenton Ridge and Shawnee at the end of the year. Currently, KR, Shawnee and Tipp are the last unbeaten teams in the Central Buckeye Conference Kenton Trail Division, while Stebbins sits at 3-1. The Devils will host Ben Logan this week.
