For many Mother Lode families h i r in g c r i t ically needed in-home for chronically ill or disabled relatives, the task has become increasingly difficult. They can't afford it. Medicare and private insurance don't pay for it. And there is an ongoing shortage of welltrained workers. "So many times, illness goes on for a long time, and they may have started out with some funds but they end up having a hard time with funds for the entire course of illness," said Ann Metherd, volunteer coordinator at HospiceofCalaveras andAmador. "Itbecomes a real hardship on families to have sufficient care and affordable care." The situation is compounded by the fact that, by and large, people do not plan financially for such care. A 2013 study by the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that two-thirds of adults have done little to no planning, while three-quarters said they didn't believe they would need help caring for them-

When trustees for Sonora High School discussed whether a change was needed in thedistrict's policy on free speech because a student had mounted a Confederate flag on his truck, Superintendent Pat Chabot asked, "Is there a consensus in our nation, in our county, that this rebel flag is considered racist?" He likely meant it as a rhetorical question, and no one could offer an an-

The flag remains a symbol of the men The answer is there is no consensus, but there is a growing awareness that who fought to preserve state's rights. "It's a symbol against tyranny," he the Rag has been co-opted by organizations and peoplewho espouse racist said. And is in no way racist, he said. views. 'The crux of the argument around History that Rag is whether it stands for one of two things: heritage or hate," said Ryan The flag now commonly referred to as Lenz, spokesman for the Southern Pov- a rebel flag is officially the Second Conerty Law Center, an organization that federateNavy Jack used by theArmy of since 1971 has filed and won numerous Tennessee between 1863 and 1865 durlawsuits against the Ku Klux Klan. nBut ing the Civil War. that changed this year, when Dylann The flag is widely recognized not only Roof walked in the (Charleston) church as a symbol of that war, fought largely to

It has also been adopted by groups like the Klu Klux Klan and The Dixiecrats, a political party in the 1950s that, in addition to states rights, advocated maintaining segregation. In the 1960s, during the height of the Civil Rights Movement, some Southern states adopted the flag as well. The South Carolina General Assembly hoisted the flag on top of its State House dome,underneath the U.S.flag and the South Carolina flag. Georgia and Mississippi added the design to their state Rags. Georgia has since changed its design, and the South Carolina General Assemblytook the fl ag &om the dome and began flying a historic flag on a pole beside a monument honoring Confederate soldiers.

Program. Having regular mammograms can reduce the risk of dying from breast cancer. Breast self-exams are encouraged for women starting in their 20s. Women should report any breast changes to their health professional right away, according to the American Cancer Society. Women in their 20s and 30s should have a clinical breast exam as part of aregular health exam by a healthprofessional, preferably every three years. Starting at age 40, women should have an exam by a health professional every year.

Women ages 50 to 74 should have a screening mammogram every two years.

M en are alsoat risk for breast cancer, said Denise Meyer, Mark Twain Medical Center administrative assistant.

Pink in th e N ight was started eight years ago by Calaveras County residents Peggy Lucas, Debbie Sellick and Suki Tutthill. In honor of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the women all felt that October is a time to honor those living with breast cancer, their families, friends, and all those who provide them with love and support, and to everyone who has been touched by the disease. The pink lights symbolize hope. The Calaveras County Chamber ofBce will h ave strands of pink lights on hand for localbusinesses to pick up and display. Over the past eight years, businesses in Angels Camp, Arnold, Avery, Burson, Copperopolis, Mokelumne Hill, Mountain Ranch, Murphys, San Andreas, Valley Springs, Wallace and West Point have hung the pink lights. On Thursday evening, all Calaveras County survivors and thosebattling breastcancer can light up their homes with a 60-watt pink bulb funded by the Mark Twain Health Care District and keep them lit for the entire month. MTMC will have a Breast Cancer Awareness booth at the Calaveras Redskins varsity game at Calaveras High School on Friday, and a survivors' ceremony will take place during halftime. Football players and cheer squads will hand out pink bracelets and commemorative footballs. All football players will have pink ribbons on their helmets, which they will wear for the entire month, signifying hope for the cure. The football team will also be at Thursday's event. The young athletes are an important part of the campaign, because they can encourage the women in their lives to go get checked out, Stevens said. All Calaveras County Busin esses are

A totalof226 wells and 11 springs in the county have reportedlyrun dry due to the four-year drought, leaving 333 homes without running

GUEST OPINION

How descendent of slaves sees onfedelate flag When I see the Confederate flag in the back ofa truck,Ihavenoway of knowing that it belongs to a 16-yearoldboy who, Ihave been told by one of his teachers, is a model student and a really nice, respectful young man with an innocent crush on an old TV show. My first reaction, in all honesty, is very personal and very defensive, because this could just as easily represent someone who possibly might wish me harm or, at the very least, disrespect. I have lived in Tuolumne County forthe better partof25 yearsasone of its few black residents and, with the exception of a couple of"n-words" thrown my way in the early days, I have suffered absolutely no racial troubles in this community. I am active in community affairs, and have made alotof truly good &iends throughout this and neighboring counties. It is not normally necessary for me to point out that my great-grandparents were slaves, that my grandparents struggled through the aftermath of Reconstruction, that my parents suffered the efFects of a Jim Crow South, and that I am a veteran of the Civil Rights era. But, because of this heritage, I see that young man's flag through a very different filter than do

many ofmy neighbors. For those who say the flagis a symbol of Southern heritage and pride, I must remind them that to exhibit pride in the antebellum South is to embrace the concept of slavery.

YOUR VIEWS Beware of fire fundraising seams To the Editor: Yesterdaylate afternoon, Ireceived a phone call &om a man fundraising for a Fireman's Support Organization. While I support the Fireman's Charity Foundation [legitimate], I had never heard of this group. I told the man that he could send me the paperwork but I couldn't promise I'd send any money until I'd checked the organization out online to make sure it was legitimate. Guess what? He hung up on me. That told me all I needed to know. I think it's beyond disgraceful that anyone would usethe bravery of our fi remen and the tragic events suffered by so many as a result of these recent horrible California fires to try and scam money from people. It was P. T. Barnum who said "There's a sucker born every minute." Please, folks, don't be one of those suckers! Marilyn IL Solari Sonora

up way too much space. I will instead point out how Stephen Moore in his zeal to attack Obama has lost sight of one of the basic conservative tenets. This is self reliance. We shouldn't depend on the government (especially the federal government) for anything. He starts the article complaining that his 22-year-old son is still living at home and living off his parents. He than lists all the things wrong with the economy and blames Obama for most of them. I can imagine his son sitting at home and reading this. His son could be thinking this is not my fault. It is Obama's fault. I just need to sit and wait for a Republican to be elected. Good luck with that. Maybe what he should do is get some initiative. If he is working at Wendy's or Walmart he should look into management training. In the meantime take on a second job. I heard a long time ago that you don't get rich working a 40 hour week. I know the work force is tough for many people these days but you don' t get ahead wishing things were difFerent. I think the real problem here is that Mr. Moore is a lousy parent. I am very familiar with at least one 20-something's "failure to launch" problem. The reason this kid has a problem is that his parents did not instill in him the need to be self reliant. I am not sure if this is Mr. Moore's problem or not but

violent ideals of Dr. Martin Luther King. Our history has sculpted racial relationships and reactions in this country, both consciously and un-

consciously. I believe there is a vast differencebetween being a racist and acting on racist principles. The former is blatant, intentional and unapologetic. The latter can be blatant, and is just as destructive, but is generally based on ignorance rather than hate, due to lack of or incorrect information.

Had the Confederateflag and state's rights prevailed during the Civil War, I have to wonder where I would be today. Certainly not here, with a university degree and the right to speak my opinion on this emotionally charged matter in a public forum. So yes, as an American citizen, that young man is well within his rights to fly the Confederate flag and I will stand first in line beside him to support the right of &eedom of speech. But he should know, if he chooses to display that symbol, that it will always fly in controversy, because there will always be people like me, and those who know my side of the story, who will forever protest its existence.

When it comes to war, Americans are heroically indifFerent to cost. Our ventures in Iraq and Afghanistan cost at least $4 trillion, but the price tags were barely considered beforehand — or after. W hen dangers abroad demand military action, money is no object. Not that we are willing to squander funds indiscriminately to avert potential threats. When asked about specific areas of federal spending, there is one

The number of people in the world displaced by conflict has quadrupled in the past five years, to the highest number ever. That means "a dramatic increase in need, from shelter to water

— and only one — in which most Ameri-

and sanitation, food, medical assistance,

cans are willing to cut. That is foreign aid. Just because we are willing to buy bombs to help Syrians or Iraqis does not mean we are willing to buy them food or medicine. All this matters because of the refugee cri sis thathas engulfed Europe. In recent months, a flood of migrants have left Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan in hope of reaching wealthier countries. The president of the European Council predictsthat 'the greatest tide ofrefugees and migrants is yet to come." The European Union, amid bitter infighting, has agreed to grant asylum to 120,000foreigners — farfewer than the 450,000 who have asked for it. The Obama administration plans to increase U.S. admissions by 30,000 a year. Not everyone is happy about these influxes. Croatia closed several border crossings. Hungary used tear gas and put up razor-wire fences. 'The public

education," U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees Antonio Guterres told The Guardian. But his agency's income will be 10 percentless this year than last year. Insufficient funds are an urgent problem. 'The current global humanitarian funding budget for all countries stands at $19.52 billion, but only $7.15 billion of that has been raised by international donors," reports The Guardian. "The Syriaregional refugee response plan is only funded to 35 percent of the $1.3 billion needed." Syrian refugees in camps in Jordan have seen the aid they get for housing, food and educationsharply reduced. Food vouchers for those in Lebanon have been halved — to $18.50 per person per month .The World Food Program says 229,000 refugees in Jordan who were getting help now get nothing.

grants," Cristian Ghinea of the Romanian Center for European Policies told The New York Times, referring to Romania. The mood on this side of the Atlantic is no more hospitable. Donald Trump's campaign manager said that "we should take in zero." Sen. JefF Sessions, R-Ala., chairman of the immigration subcommittee, said the refugees should be resettled in the Middle East. A HuffPost/ YouGov poll found that only 39 percent of Americans think the U.S. should grant asylum to more Syrians. But if we want to stem the tide of refugees, the obvious remedy is to make sure the displaced get adequate help where they are. Two questions raised by the sudden surge of migration are: Why are so many of them heading for Europe, and why now? The answers are simple: because they lost a lot of the assistance they had been getting in places like Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey. Many have waited for months or years in camps. But lately, that option has lost its charm.

you can put a smile on your face and hope donor governments will come up with the money to keep you from starving or dying of disease. Or you can try to make your way to somewhere better before your money runs out or your body fails. More and more of these unfortunatesarechoosing thelatter. For those of us lucky enough to live elsewhere, the sensible policy should be obvious. Most refugees would be willing to stay where they are, and helping them do so would be less expensive and less risky than resettling them. The U.S. has agreed to boost its funding by $419 million, but that may not be enough. Whether you are a generous humanitarian or an angry xenophobe, you shouldfavorgreateroutlaysforrefugees abroad. To skimp on foreign aid now is like stopping inoculations during an epidemic: the model of a false economy. We spend a lot of money killing foreigners who are enemies. It might be cheaper to help those who are not.

The group had until the end of the day to submit the needed 366,000 signatures to county clerks to ask California voters to repeal SB277, which struck the state's personal belief

Abortion opponent David Daleiden obtained the videos by posing as an executive of a fake company seeking to supply fetal tissue to researchers. Richards said Daleiden,despite three years of doing that, didn't entrap any Planned Parenthood officials into doing anything illegal. "It is clear they acted fraudulently an d u n ethically — and perhaps illegally," Richards said. 'Yet it is Planned Parenthood, not Mr. Daleiden, that is currently subjectto four congressional investigations" by the GOPrun Congress.

Republicans are blamed for a shutdown. Last week, Democrats led a filibuster of a Senate stopgap measure that would have defunded Planned Parenthood. Eight Republicans did not support that measure, leaving it short of a simple majority, much less the 60 votes required to overcome the filibuster. The current bill is "the only viable way forward in the short term," McConnell said. "It doesn't represent my first, second, third or 23rd choice when it comes to funding the govern-

The school plans to continue donating all harvests through at least this week. Student-prepared boxes of produce have gone to the Resource Connection Food Bank, Glory Bound Fellowship and the American Red Cross for distribution, or have given directly to families at the school sites. Normally the school sells food directly to clients, uses it in cooking classesor gives itto students to take home, said Hesser.

for safely preserving this year's tomato crop With tomato season at its peak, there are severalways to preserve your harvestforuse year round. However, experts say it's important to know theproper methods ofpreserving tomato

A perfectly ripe tomato is a beautiful thing. Unfortunately, tomatoes need to ripen slowly under a hot sun and have a short season. So, while a fresh tomato sauce made with ripe tomatoes may be perfect in summer, it is always better to use high-quality canned or packaged tomatoes in an off-season. The fresh tomato rule also rings true for this daikon and tomato "carpaccio" recipe from "Molto Batali" (Ecco, 2011). And, lucky for us, tomatoes are holding strong this

down the line. "The key thing when you' re canning, especially tomatoes, is to make sure the recipe has acid in there," said Sue Mosbacher, Master Food Preserver Program coordinatorforthe University of California Cooperative Extension, Central Sierra. Bacteria sporesthatcausebotulism, a rare but potentially fatal disease that affects the muscles and respiratory system, grow in moist, low-acid environments without oxygen. Mosbacher said adding some bottled lemon juice labeled at 5 percent acidity prior to canning the tomatoes will ensure there's enough acid content to prevent bacteria f'rom forming. "You just have to make sure that you always put the lemon juice in there to guarantee that you have a safe jar," she said. Home-canned vegetables are the most common cause of botulism outbreaks in the United States, according totheCentersforDisease Control and Prevention. The CDC recorded 116 outbreaks of foodborne botulism from 1996 to 2008, with 38 percent of the cases linked to improperly homecanned vegetables. Most of the outbreaks occurred from home canners who did not follow canning instructions, did not use pressure canners, ignored signsoffood spoilage,orwereunaware ofthe riskofbotulism from improperly preserving vegetables, according to the CDC. The growing movement in favor of locallygrown, fresh, healthy foods has contributed to the increasingpopularity ofpreservingfoods at home, Mosbacher says.

Mosbacher said the National Center for H ome Food Preservation provides safe recipes for home canning and other preserving m ethods thatfollow guidelines approved by the United States Department of Agriculture. The UCCE Master Food Preservers Program also offers classes on food preservation. The next one on Oct. 10 at the Calaveras County Senior Center will focus on preservation methodsforethnicfoods. Though the program currently only offers classes in Calaveras, Amador and El Dorado counties, Mosbacher said she's working on scheduling one in Tuolumne County sometime in the future. Aside from canning, there are a number of otherways to preserve tomatoes forshelfstorage. Mosbacher said a popular method involves dehydrating the tomato and grinding it into a powder that can be used to flavor soups, stews

mg spices and sugars.

Some Parmigiano enthusiasts claim toprefer cheeses made in the late spring and summer months, when the animal's feed is fresh grass and wheat. I like all of them, but I do prefer a younger cheese for eating, unadorned with fresh daikon radish or with balsamic vinegar.

I discovered orzo salad in college while studying in Italy, and variations of it have been a supper staple ever since. In fact,it's probably one of the most requested recipes from my very picky husband. The formula is always the same: Toss some seasonal roasted vegetables with the pasta, along with a rustic vinaigrette. Sometimes I add cheese, sometimes I don' t; sometimes I add nuts, sometimes I don' t. This version includes caramelized cauliflower for flavor, toasted pine nuts for subtle crunch, and raisins and sultanas fora perfecthint ofsweet. Way back in college, I spent one glorious month studying abroad in Florence with my greatest accomplice, Jen. I went with the best of intentions: to master the beautiful Italian language. Turns out, the only thing I mastered was the food. (I promise I'm not complaining!) I spent far more time roaming the farmers' marSee SALAD/Page B7

They call the newspaper with fresh numbers early every morning for that day's weather page, on the back of the sports section. The only pay is an annual gathering - sometimes a picnic hosted by the newspaper, sometimes dinner at an area restaurant - where they are honored and thanked. Necessary equipment, which the volunteers must provide themselves, are a thermometer that records the high and low temperatures of the day and a rain gauge. They must also submit snow depths and melt snow, when they get it, to include its water content with their precipitation. Volunteers are needed right now in, Tuolumne, Pinecrest and San Andreas.

Past indiscretion leaves parents with no trust DEAR ANNIE: I am a 20-year-old male who currently lives with my parents.Ijuststarted my firstyear ofcollege. Both of my parents have prescriptions to Xanax. When I was 15, I took a few from my dad's bottle. My parents labeled me a thief and an addict. I knew it was wrong and haven't done it since. I thought we had moved on 6'om that incident, but my mother called me at work and asked whether I had taken 60 ofher Xanax. I had no idea what she was talking about and said I hadn' t touched her pills. She insisted that I stole them and sold them, and wouldn' t hear anything other than an admission of guilt. I honestly have no idea what happened to her pills, but I feel terrible that my mother believes I stole from her. No matter how many times I proclaim my innocence, they assume I'm guilty.

tures at which they feel comfortable, and 75 degrees is on the warm side of comfort for many. One way thatour bodies regulate temperatureis through blood flow to the extremities. When the blood vessels are open, the person will feel quite warm to the touch, and when trying to conserveheat,the skin feels cold and clammy (which I have always found an odd expression, because clams are normally cold). If she is really bothered by it, it might be worth thinking about two common medical issues: hyperthyroidism and vasomotor instability of menopause. In hyperthyroidism, the entire metabolism is enhanced, so the person is warm all the time. A simple blood test can confirm this diagnosis. In a woman in her 60s, it is common tohave periodsofvasomotor instability, usually called hot flashes. In these, the blood vessels open up and the woman becomes uncomfortably hot for a few minutes. It is possible that one of these couldbe happening for your partner.

I was wondering where I should go to find out about occupational therapists and physical therapists in our area doing vestibular rehabilitation.— KM. ANSWER:Your best bet is your regular doctor, but otherwise a web search (or even the yellow pages, if you are old-fashioned) will get you some phone numbers. Call and find out if any facility has therapists experienced in vestibular rehabilitation. An online resource is www vestibular.org.

Today in history Today is Tuesday, September 29, the 272nd day of 2015. There are 93 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in HIstory: On September 29, 1965, President Lyndon Johnson signed the National Foundation on the Arts and the Humanities Act of 1965, creating the National Endowment for the Humanities and the National Endowment for the Arts; during the signing ceremony, the president said the measure would create an American Film Institute. On this date: In 1907, the foundation stone was laid for the Washington National Cathedral. In 1955, a one-act version of the Arthur Miller play "A View From the Bridge" opened in New York. (Miller later turned it into a two-act

play.) In 1962, Canada joined the space age as it launched the Alouette 1 satellite from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. The musical "My Fair Lady" closed on Broadway after 2,717 performances. In 1975, baseball manager Casey Stengel died in Glendale, California, at age 85. In 1978, Pope John Paul I was found dead in his Vatican apartment just over a month after becoming head of the Roman Catholic Church. In 1982, Extra-Strength Tylenol capsules laced with deadly cyanide claimed the first of seven victims in the Chicago area. (To date, the case remains unsolved.) In 1990, the Washington National Cathedral, begun in 1907, was formally completed with President George H.W. Bush overseeing the laying of the final stone atop the southwest pinnacle of the cathedral's St. Paul Tower.

I!I !II!IQ especially regarding growing family finances. After the Harvest Moon eclipse yesterday, you' re in a potentially profitable phase. Ubra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):Today is an 8 — Pare down to practical financial priorities. Use what you' ve learned to cut costs. You' re more patient with money management overthe nextfew days.Advance your agenda through careful budgeting and scheduling. Anticipate surprises. Set long-term goals. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):Today is an 8 — Negotiations resume. You don't have to do everything. Let somebody else direct the show for a few days. Accept a promise. Learn from each other. Work together today and tomorrow. Physical magnetism is part of the fun. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):Today is a 7 — Concentrate on a new assignment today and tomorrow. Focus on providing meticulous service. Make sure your team has what they need. Walk and talk. Alternate between physical exercise and quiet reverie. Replace something volatile with something secure. Capricorn (Dec. 22 Jan. 19):Today is a 7 — To raise your game, get a good coach. Discover secrets and tricks of the trade. The more you learn, the easier it gets. Practice what you love today and tomorrow. Someone finds that attractive. Relax and play. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):Today is an 8 — Family comes first today and tomorrow. Get into a domestic cycle. Clean, renovate and repair your infrastructure. Set up systems to conserve resources. Beautify your surroundings. Add color and composition to your design. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20):Today is a 9 — Intuition reveals the correct choice. You' re especially clever with words today and tomorrow. Catch up on reading and research. Apply what you' re learning. Act on what you hear. A revelation provides an opportunity. Study developments.

Here, though, if East S outh W e s t No r t h Ea s t wins withhis spade ace and plays a second 2t Pass spade, South takes the trick, drives out the diamond ace,and has nine winners: two spades, 2NT Pass 3V Pass 3 NT Pass Pa s s Pas s one heart, five diamonds and one club. East must get the heart ace off the board so that declarer cannot establish and run the Opening lead: 4 6 diamonds. At trick two, East must shift to the heart king. South wins with dummy's ace and plays on diamonds. East just holds up his ace for two rounds. (West's two is surely a singleton; with a doubleton, he would play high-low.) Then South has no resource. This is called a Merrimac Coup, named after the American steamship Merrimac, which was sunk in the entrance to Santiago de Cuba harbor in 1898 during the Spanish-Arnercan War in an attempt to bottle up the Spanish fleet. Finally, note that the coup works even if West had started with king-jack-fifth of spades.

Improving safety P resident Obam a signed the FD A F ood Safety Mo d ernization Act in 2011 to place more pressure on food producers to provide safer products. But there is concern over its effectiveness, given that Congress has appropriated less than half the budget the FDA requires. No matter where your foodcomes from, do your part to help ensure food safety: 1. Wash foods well before preparing them, 2. Store foods at appropriatetemperatures (less than or equal to 40 F for therefrigerator; less than or equal to 0 F for the freezer), 3. Cook foods properly.

In between epic meals ofpera tortelloni and bistecca alla Fiorentina,there were affogatos,pizzette and plenty of bacio (the ice cream, not the kiss). But then I started to yearn for something else. After a f e w t o o m any heavily sauced meals — and a few too many extra pounds — I started to crave something light. One evening, a few ofus ladies decided to forgo our usual dinner plans and cook in. We procured wine and cheese and various other local ingredients. And then we feasted. To be honest, the only contribution I remember was a rathernondescript side: orzo pasta tossed with roasted zucchini and eggplant, a splash of olive oil and a on a plate. Looking back on my t r ip, it' s funny how that simple pasta salad is one of the first taste memories that comes to mind. Of all the restaurants and all the meals, it's the most basic dish that stuck.

OAKS D ( A P ) — If there was any danger of the Oakland Raiders becoming overconfident this week facing the winless Chicago Bears after winning back-to-back games for the first time since 2012, coach Jack Del Rio delivereda warning Monday. "There's a lot of growth in front of us and we absolutely got to grind and push and continue to sacrifice, and as coaches we' re going to continue to demand," Del Rio said, one day after a 27-20 victory against the Cleveland Browns.

Rodgers throws for 5 TD's in Packers win GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Aaron Rodgersdissected another defense on a national stage, building a big enough cushion for the Green Bay Packers to overcome a late rush by Jamaal Charles and the Kansas City Chiefs. Rodgers threw for 333 yards and five touchdowns, including three to RandallCobb, and Green Bay beat Kansas City 38-28 on Monday night. Rodgers led the Packers (3-0) on two successful first-quarter drives that ended with scoring passes to Cobb androokie Ty Montgomery. He found James Jones for a 27yard touchdown reception late in

the second quarterfor a 17-point lead at the break. Charles rushed for three touchdowns for Kansas City (1-2), which followed its stunning, last-minute loss at home to Denver with a respectablefourth-quarter effort at raucous Lambeau Field. Charles' 7-yard TD with 1:25 left got the Chiefs within 10. But the end result was the same for Kansas City, which lost its second straight. Rodgers was 24 of 35 in another masterful performance for the MVP quarterback. The Packers controlled the line of scrimmage when it counted and got to Alex Smith for seven sacks. Smith finished24 of 40 for 290 yards and a touchdown. Under pressure near his own end zone, Smith also threw an in-

terception to Sam Shields at the Chiefs 19 with about 7 minutes left in the third quarter. Shields returned it 15 yards, and on the next play, Rodgers found Cobb for a 4-yard touchdown and a 31-7 lead. Rodgers and Cobb hooked up for another 4-yard scoring pass in the fourth. With the score, Rodgers set the franchise record with his fourth career game of at least five touchdown passes. Kansas City stopped its long streak of no touchdown receptions by a receiver when Jeremy Maclin hauled in a 5-yard TD pass with 56 secondsleftin thethird quarter to get the Chiefs within 31-14. It was the first touchdown pass

caught by a receiver since Donnie Avery had a 79-yard catch-and-run against the Indianapolis Colts in a wild card game on Jan. 4, 2014. A week after fumbling twice, Charles had a little fun with his own Lambeau Leap into the awaiting arms of Chiefs fans following his 4-yard TD run in the fourth quarter.

Otherwise, the Packers prevented Charles from making explosive plays, limiting him to 49 yards on 11 carries. For Green Bay, Jones finished with seven catches for 139 yards and a score. He had a 52-yard catch in the fourth quarter off a free-play situation following a defensive penalty that set up Cobb's third touchdown catch.

Roethlisberger out indefinitely with sprained left knee PITTSBURGH (AP) — Ben Roethlisberger gingerly made his way out of the Pittsburgh Steelers facility on Monday, his left leg immobilized under a brace and his attitude upbeat. The leader of one of the NFL's most dynamic offenses is expected back at some point in 2015 after spraining the medial collateral ligament in his left knee in the third quarter of Sunday's 12-6 win over St Louis. What the rest of the season looks like whenever Roethlisberger returns will rely heavily on how much is left in Michael Vick's 35-year-old arm (and legs). Coach Mike Tomlin thinks Vick has plenty left.

Fisher jokes hell enter stadium via opposite tunnel

49ERS

ST. LOUIS (AP) — St. Louis Ram s coach Je8' Fisher says it's not his call whether the team continues to use pyrotechnic displays during player introductions. But Fisher added jokingly that from now on he's going to enter the field at the Edward Jones Dome from the opposite tunnel. The start of Sunday's game against the Steelers was delayed about 30 minutes by a small fire from sparks emitted during the display and a protracted cleanupeffort.

While the Cardinals continued to build their lead in the first half, the 49ers offense elected to stick with the rushing attack after Kaepernick's

early mistakes. The 49ers ran

the ballon 13 straight plays, including two quarterback scrambleson called passes. Kaepernick finished the first half with 33 yards passing, and didn't add to that total until 5:09 in the fourth quarter before finishing with 67 yards. He threw his fourth interception on the first play of the second half. 'Very hard for me to deal

Vick will start for the Steelers (21) on Thursday night when they host Baltimore (0-3), a job Vick will hold indefinitely while Roethlisberger is out. Tomlin declined to put a timetable on when Roethlisberger will take the field next other than to say it will be "a number of weeks." Roethlisberger fell a w kwardly while getting tackled by St. Louis safety Mark Barron, the quarterback's left leg twisting gruesomely as he fell to the turf. An MRI revealed no major structural damage though Roethlisberger will miss multiple starts due to injury for only the second timein his 12-year career. Enter Vick, a four-time Pro Bowler

with. Very hard to see myself play like that and hurt this team the way I did," Kaepernick said after the game. "I nullified all the efforts of every other player on that field today and that's something that I have to fix." Kaepernick spent much of the offseason working on becoming a better passer &om the pocket, which included work with two-time league MVP Kurt Warner and position coach Dennis Gile at EXOS, a performance training facility in Phoenix. T hrough the fi rs t t w o games, Kaepernick completed 69 percent of his throws, averaging 250 yards passing with a 98.1 quarterback rat-

signed in August who quickly earned the backup job. He completed 5 of 6 passesfor 38 yards after Roethlisberger's exit, hardly the gamebreaking stuff of Vick's prime. Then again, he wasn't asked to do much other than avoid mistakes while the defensepreserved a second-halflead. The challenge will change considerably at home against a winless rival, though Tomlin is hardly worried about Vick's ability to get prepared in the 100 hours in between games. "This isn't his first rodeo," Tomlin said.

Maybe, but it will mark just Vick's fourth start in the last two years. His only victory in that span? A

ing before Sunday's showing. Through three games, however, San Francisco has the league's lowest-scoring offense. "His development as a pocket passer,in terms of Colin reading and looking at things, and studying, I think he's doing a nice job there working at it," Tomsula said. "In terms of us as a team, and as a whole offense, our dropback pass game, we need to be better at and we need to improve on." Things won't get easier for the reeling 49ers (1-2) after getting outscored 90-25 in their last two games. They host the Green Bay Packers on Sunday.

20-13 upset of the Steelers last November while playing for the New York Jets. Vick will have considerably more weapons at his disposal in Pittsburgh with running back LerVeon Bell and wide receiver Antonio Brown.

Just don't expect Vick to be given as much latitude as Roethlisberger, who has spent the last three-plus seasons working with offensive coordinatorTodd Haley.Vick, by contrast, has been in town less than five weeks. "We' re going to work in his comfort zone and bring the game to him and put us in position to win football games," Tomlin said.

Kaepernick might find solace in his past success against Green Bay. He set a playoff record for a quarterback when he ran for 181 yards in his breakout performance in the playoff s in January 2013. In the season opener the next year, he set a career high with 412 yards passing in a 34-28 The 49ers haven't lost to the Packers since 2010. However, the lack of production on offense isn't the onlyobstaclefacingSan Francisco. Defensively, the team is showing attrition after losing linebacker Patrick Willis and defensive lineman Justin Smith to retirement in the offseason.

Carson Palmer and Ben Roethlisbergercombined to throw for 676 yards over the last two games, when the 49ers allowed 40 or more points on consecutive weeks forthe firsttime since2006. Given the tumultuous offseason San Francisco had, including changing head coaches and losing a number of key players, Tomsula insisted it' s still too early to give up on the season.

''We are a work in progress," Tomsula said. "As far as a lost season, no. I disagree wholeheartedly. And in terms of anybody that's not here, we spend zero time thinking of that. That doesn't help us get better."

BRIEFS Panthers acquire DE 3ared Allen in trade CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — The Carolina Panthers have acquired veteran defensive end Jared Allen &om the Chicago Bears in exchange for a 2016 sixthround draft pick. The Bears announced the trade on Monday. The trade will become official pending Allen passing a physical, Panthers team spokesman Steven Drummond told The Associated Press. The Panthers made the move aftertheir top pass rusher Charles Johnson w ent down with a h a m -

string injury in Sunday's 27-22 win over the New Orleans Saints. The Panthers lost their other top pass rusher Greg Hardy this past ofFseason when he signed with the Dallas Cowboys as a &ee agent. The 33-year-old Allen has 134 career sacks.

Nats suspendcloser Papelbon 4 games WASHINGTON ( A P) — Bryce Harper is not quite sure what he could have done difFerently to avoid the dugout fight with teammate Jonathan Papelbon that resulted in the Washington Nationals suspending the closer for four games without pay. Harper, a leading NL MVP contender, also indicated he would be OK with Papelbon returning to the Nationals in 2016. The reliever has an $11 million guaranteed contractfor next season.

Papelbon will miss the rest of this season. On Monday, he dropped his appeal of a three-game ban from Major League Baseball for throwing at an opponent's head last week, and then missed Washington's 5-1 victory over Cincinnati. After that punishment ends, Papelbon serves the Nationals' suspension a n n ounced Monday. Harper was held out of the home finale against the Reds for "his part in the altercation" with Papelbon, manager Matt Williams said.

Cardinals ouNelder Piscotty injured in violent collision PITTSBURGH (AP)St. Louis Cardinals rookie S tephen Piscotty w a s carted off the field Monday night following a violent collision with teammate Peter Bourjos. In a &ightening scene at PNC Park, Piscotty lay motionless on the grass in left center field for several minutes. He was strapped to a backboard and waved his left hand as he was driven away, eliciting a big cheer &om the Pittsburgh crowd. Piscotty has a bruise on his head and all tests conducted were negative, the Cardinals said. He will be held overnight at a hospitalforobservation. In the bottom of the seventh inning, Josh Harrison of the Pirates hit a drive to the gap in left-center. Piscotty, playing left field, stumbled as he chased the ball. Bourjos, playing center, went to the ground as

he made a lunging catch, and his left knee struck Piscotty square in the face. Almost i m m ediately, Bourjos began waving to signal that Piscotty needed medical attention. Cardinals players and manager Mike Matheny gathered in the outfield, some kneeling in obvious concern as workers tended

to Piscotty and a hush fell over the crowd. It was the opener of a pivotalthree-game series between the top two teams in the NL Central. St.

Angels rally past Atbletics in gtb for 5-4 win ANAHEIM, (AP) — Pinch-hitter David Murphy drove a bases-loaded single into left field to end it, and the Los Angeles Angels kept the pressure on in the AL wild-card race with their sixth consecutive victory, 5-4 over the Oakland Athletics on Monday night. Albert Pujols tied it with his 558th career homer in the sixth inning forthe Angels, who have won nine of 11 during their majors-best 17-8 performance in September Johnny Giavotella and Erick Aybar had early run-scoring doubles as the Angels (82-74) remained a half-game behind the Houston Astros (83-74), who won at Seattle, and one game ahead of the Minnesota Twins (81-75), who beat Cleveland. Los Angeles also closed within just two games of the AL West-leading Rangers (84-72), who lost to Detroit. The Angels finish the season with four games at Texas.

Edward Mujica (3-5) retired the heart of Los Angeles' order in the eighth, but gave up a leadoff' single in the ninth to C.J. Cron, who had three hits. Mujica then fielded David Freese's squib grounder in &ont of the plate and threw wild to first, allowing pinch-runner Collin Cowgill to advance to third.

Nationals pitcher Max Scherzer came within five outs of ending that distinction. Scherzer did not allow a hit until Tucker Barnhart singled to left on a 1-2 count with one out in the eighth inning, and Washington went on to a 5-1 victory over Cincinnati on Monday. That hit came on Scherzer's 105th pitch, and fans saluted the righthander with a standing ovation. To that point, the Reds only had three baserunners, on walks in the first, third and seventh. Barnhart wound up scoring on Skip Schumaker's single, the only other hit allowed by Scherzer (13-12), who left after the eighth. Before the eighth inning, Schumaker came closest to getting a hit ofF Scherzer — and he did so twice.

Extreme sports star killed in s diving accident SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — An extreme sports and MTV star skydiving for the opening ceremony of a golf event in Northern California died when he struck a tree Monday, authorities said. Placer County Sheriff"s Capt. Dennis Walsh said Erik Roner of Tahoe City, California died during a skydiving accident at a golf course in Squaw Valley, California, about 5 miles &om Lake Tahoe's northwest shore. Witnesses told deputies Roner, 39, waspart of a group conducting a skydiving performance for a golf event, when he hit a tree while trying to land and became entangled high above ground, Walsh said.

Authorities were not able to remove him from the tree and Roner was pronounced dead at the scene. All the other skydivers landed safely, he said. Walsh said the investigation is continuing and the Federal Aviation Administration has been notified. Roner, a professional skier and avid BASE jumper, was known for being part of the Nitro Circus, an MTV show centered around freestylemotocross riderTravisPastrana and his crew of extreme sports athlete friends. He also hosted TV show "Locals" on sports network Outside Television. "Erik was an amazing person who made everyone and everything

around him better," Pastrana said. Roy Tuscany, a friend of Roner, who witnessed the accident said it occurredright before a celebrity golf tournament was about to begin Monday morning. Tuscany said that he watched as two other parachutists landed safely on the golf course's fairway for the 9th hole but then looked on in horror when Roner slammed hard into atree about 25-30 feet above the ground. He said Roner's parachute got caught in th e t ree and Roner dangled there while many on the ground scrambled to find ladders and other means to get to him. At one point, severalpeople attempted

to stand on one another's shoulder to reach him. "There's no protocol for this kind of rescue," Tuscany said. "There's no manual. It was just horrible." Tuscany described his friend Roner as "always positive" and a "big supporter" of the local community. He said Roner was "hilarious and was a "stand-up guy" who could always be counted on to help out with benefit events like the golf tournament sponsored by the Squaw Valley Institute, a nonprofit organization that describes itself as being "dedicated to presenting enriching and inspirational programs to the Lake Tahoe region."

"We are still trying to process this tragedy," said Rob Faris, senior VP, programming and production at Outside Television. "Our hearts go out to his family." Outside Television will air "Locals" from 7:00 to 11:00 p.m. EDT Tuesday. Roner's death comes four months aRer world-famous wingsuit flyer Dean Potter and fellow adventurer Graham Hunt fatally crashed after the pair leaped from TaR Point, 3,500-feet above Yosemite Valley,attempting to clear a V-shaped notch in a ridgeline. Roner is survived by his wife and two children, according to the Squaw Valley Institute.

Kings' DeMarcus Cousins and head coach are 'good' SACRAMENTO (AP) Kings coach George Karl insists things are good with All-Star center DeMarcus Cousins. The two men met in

Las Vegas over the summer to clear the air affer being at odds almost &om the moment Karl took over the Kings job late last season. There were reports that Karl had tried to trade Cousins shortly after being hired, and Sacramento's hot-tempered big man wasn't pleased. That's all in the past now according to both, though each also sounded cautiously optimistic while discussing the issue during the Kings' media day on Monday. "I think it's solid, it's good and ready to play," said Karl when asked about his relationship with Cousins. "That' s where I'm at with it. If I had
