13 die in Navy yard shooting WASHINGTON (AP) — A former Navy man opened fire Monday morning inside a building at the heavily secured Washington Navy Yard, spraying bullets at office workers in the cafeteria and the halls, authorities said. Thirteen people were killed, including the gunman. Authorities said they were looking for a possible second attacker who may have been disguised in an olive-drab militarystyle uniform. But as the day wore on and night fell, the rampage increasingly appeared to be the work of a lone gunman, and Navy Yard employees were being released from the

complex and children were let out of their locked-down schools. Investigators said they had not established a motive for the rampage, which unfolded about 8:20 a.m. in the heart of the nation’s capital, less than four miles from the White House and two miles from the Capitol. As for whether it may have been a terrorist attack, Mayor Vincent Gray said: “We don’t have any reason to think that at this stage.” But he said the possibility had not been ruled out. It was the deadliest shooting rampage at a U.S.-based military installation since Maj. Nidal Hasan killed 13 people and wounded more

than 30 others in 2009 at Fort Hood in Texas. He was convicted last month and sentenced to death. President Barack Obama lamented yet another mass shooting in the U.S. that he said took the lives of American patriots. He promised to make sure “whoever carried out this cowardly act is held responsible.” The FBI took charge of the investigation and identified the gunman killed in the attack as 34-year-old Aaron Alexis of Texas. He died after a running gunbattle with police, investigators said. A federal law enforcement official who was not authorized to discuss the case publicly and

spoke on condition of anonymity said Alexis was believed to have gotten into the Navy Yard by using someone else’s identification card. But Navy officials said it was not yet clear how he got onto the base. Alexis was a full-time reservist from 2007 to early 2011, leaving as a petty officer third class, the Navy said. It did not say why he left. He had been working for a fleet logistics support squadron in Fort Worth, Texas. The Navy listed his home of record as New York City. At the time of the rampage, he was working as a Defense Department contractor, but it was not clear if the information technology SEE SHOOTING, PAGE A6

Deputy to get county support

Boy, 3, shot dead in handgun game MICHIGAN CITY — A 3-year-old boy was fatally shot in a game with a gun Sunday. LaPorte County Prosecutor Bob Szilagyi told the South Bend Tribune that the boyfriend of the victim’s mother forgot the handgun was loaded when he was playing the game with the child Sunday. Szilagyi said Zachariah Grisham, 24, and Lance Wilson of Michigan City often played a game in which the boy pointed his finger at Grisham and said ”bang, bang.” Grisham would respond by pointing his gun at the boy and pulling the trigger. Szilagyi said the investigation shows Grisham “forgot the chamber was loaded.” Grisham was being held Monday in the LaPorte County Jail on preliminary charges of neglect of a dependent, a Class A felony, and reckless homicide, a Class C felony.

Hornets march to Goshen Invitational win BY AMY OBERLIN aoberlin@kpcmedia.com

ANGOLA — The Angola High School Marching Hornets had an exceptional performance in their second week of the season. The Marching Hornets placed first in Class C at the Goshen Invitational along with receiving caption awards for best music, best visual and best general effect. Fairfield High School came in second in Class C, NorthWood third, Knox fourth and Wawasee fifth. The band will be at Lawrence Central’s invitational on Saturday, performing at 3:42 p.m. The

complete schedule and other band information is at angolamarchinghornets.com. This year’s show is titled “Reaching Out” and is set to Michael Kamen’s “The New Moon in the Old Moon’s Arms.” The music is more challenging than in years past, and the Marching Hornets’ mastery of it is reaping rewards from competition judges, said AHS band director Kevin Folge. “The judges really liked our show from an intellectual standpoint,” Fogle said. Judges say the students are performing at a high level, playing complicated

music with a complex show. “Reaching Out” uses imagery from the reaching hands in a Michelangelo fresco, “The Creation of Adam,” in the Sistine Chapel. At one point, the first trumpet section sits on tarps on the field and plays from that position, said senior trumpet player Jimmy Gould. He said the choreography is challenging and includes jumps and reaching gestures. “We have a really high range that we have to play in. We’re making it challenging,” said Gould. “We’re making it better every day.”

ANGOLA — A Little Free Library is going to be installed at Lake James in the near future. Neighbors at Roby Place, near the former Bledsoe’s Beach area, plan on installing the library once the funds are raised. Most of the $450 needed has been raised, said Bill Schmidt, Roby Place resident. Little Free Libraries are situated in neighborhoods and work on the honor system. People share books through the libraries. Checking out books is free. “The idea of it is you can put them up in an area and people can come and take a book or they can come and share a book,” Schmidt said.

Information from the Little Free Library Facebook page said the libraries promote reading for children, literacy for adults and libraries around the world. “We just thought it would be a good program to get people reading,” Schmidt said. Some books are supplied through the national Little Free Libraries organization, while others are provided by users and other organizations. “Some of the people in the neighborhood thought it would be a good way to build community,” Schmidt said. The books can also be checked out by users across the country,

allowing books to literally travel the nation. Information at the website littlefreelibrary.org provides a database of where the libraries are located across the country. The libraries are small structures, many resemble houses, that store a small amount of books. Schmidt said Roby Place residents got the idea for a Little Free Library after reading an article that appeared in American Profile magazine that is distributed on Fridays by The Herald Republican. Steuben County Commissioner Ron Smith suggested the idea be promoted and expanded by the Steuben County Literacy Coalition.

Woman sentenced to 4 years for child neglect BY AMY OBERLIN aoberlin@kpcmedia.com

ANGOLA — A Hudson woman was placed behind bars Monday for neglect of a dependent. Samantha N. Rhodes, 21, pleaded guilty to Class C felony neglect of a dependent causing serious bodily injury, and was sentenced to four years, with two years suspended and two years to be served. Two years was the maximum served time under a plea agreement reached between Rhodes, chief deputy prosecutor Jeremy Musser and her public defender Linda Wagoner. Rhodes, who was declined by Steuben County Community Corrections, will serve around eight months with Indiana good time credit. After that, she will be on probation for two years. “Yes, it did happen,” Rhodes said Monday in court. “Yes, I’m at fault.” Rhodes’ boyfriend, Austin Phibbs, 20, of

Angola, was sentenced in late January to seven years for battery and neglect of a child. He beat a 1-year-old so severely Sept. 14, 2012, that the child’s ribs were broken. Rhodes The child’s grandmother said Riley Hospital for Children evaluations showed that the baby’s ribs showed signs of former fractures that had healed themselves, and that family members had seen abuse occurring and had not reported it. In the battery, Phibbs admitted he grabbed the baby’s throat and head simultaneously, causing bruising. The neglect charge arose when Phibbs failed to take the child for medical attention after the child allegedly fell down a set of stairs. The child’s grandmother said there were bite marks,

bruising to the child’s groin area and hand marks on his back as well as kidney and liver damage. “You are just as guilty, even more considering you’re his mother,” the grandmother said to Rhodes Monday in court. She asked Wheat for “justice to the fullest extent.” Wheat said Rhodes “made a really bad mistake” by letting Phibbs into her life and around her child. She has been involved in parenting courses and is being monitored by the Department of Children’s Services and Court-Appointed Special Advocates. “It started out meeting at public places,” said Rhodes. “Now he is allowed in my home.” She said the child is doing very well and custody documentation is being worked out with herself and the child’s father. She has disposed of other pending legal matters, including a probation violation in DeKalb County.

ANGOLA — A Hamilton man was sentenced in Steuben Circuit Court to 24 years in prison for the repeated molestation of an 8-year-old girl. Zachariah M. Dirrim, 23, pleaded guilty to two Class B felony counts and one Class C felony count of child molesting. Judge Allen Wheat sentenced him to 10 years for each Class B felony with an additional four years on the C felony. Because of the victim’s age, Dirrim is a credit-restricted felon. Instead of receiving a day credit for each day he serves Dirrim in prison, Dirrim will receive an extra day for every six days he serves. He received credit for 537 days served prior to his sentencing. “The devil will see you burn in eternal hell,” said the victim’s grandmother in a statement directed to Dirrim. “What she told me you put her through just makes me want to vomit.” She thanked Steuben County Sheriff’s Detective Chris Emerick and the Steuben County Prosecutor’s Office for bringing Dirrim to justice. The incidents occurred at a rural Hamilton residence in late December 2011 and early January 2012. “You pretended to be this sweet, caring guy,” said the girl’s mother. “You took advantage of a sweet little girl.” The girl suffered a seizure in her sleep not long ago, among other serious effects from the incident. “I hope you look in the mirror and see another soulless coward in a sea of faces in prison,” the mother said, adding that he no longer exists to her family. When he is released from prison, Dirrim must be on the sex offender registry for life. In his statement, Dirrim denied ever touching a child and said he’d babysat 22 children in his life. “I’ve still got people out there who want me to watch their kids,” Dirrim said. A competency hearing was conducted Dec. 3, 2012, following evaluations by two mental health professionals. Dirrim, represented by public defender Linda Wagoner, was found competent to stand trial. He was originally charged with two Class A felony charges and the Class C felony. On Aug. 15, the court approved the amendment of counts I-III and the filing of additional counts — the Class B felonies Dirrim pleaded guilty to.

FORT WAYNE — A Fort Wayne Police Department officer who was arrested on sexual misconduct charges was relieved of duty Monday, our news partner, NewsChannel 15, reports. Mark A. Rogers, 45, a 19-year veteran of the FWPD, has been charged with sexual misconduct by a service provider, a Class C felony; official misconduct, a Class D felony; and false reporting, a Class A misdemeanor. WANE-TV reports Rogers allegedly had sex with a woman he had detained while working OWI Enforce-

ment Patrol. A probable cause affidavit said Rogers picked the woman up for driving while intoxicated and took her to the hospital, as she was vomiting. She was diagnosed with alcohol intoxication and released to Rogers’ custody. Rogers said the woman was left at the hospital, but hospital video shows otherwise. The woman told police he put her in the back of the police car before taking her out of the car and taking off her handcuffs. She told police he walked her to a park bench and had sex with her.

Briefs • Homeless man turns in backpack holding thousands BOSTON (AP) — A homeless Boston man who turned in a backpack containing tens of thousands of dollars in cash and traveler’s checks says even if he were desperate he wouldn’t have kept “even a penny.” Glen James was honored Monday at police headquarters, where Commissioner Edward Davis thanked him for his honesty and gave him a special citation. James said in a handwritten statement given out at a news conference that he was glad to make sure the bag and its contents were returned to the owner. “Even if I were desperate for money, I would not have kept even a penny,” he said. James found the backpack at the South Bay Mall in the city’s Dorchester neighborhood Saturday evening. He flagged down patrolling officers and handed it over. The backpack contained $2,400 in U.S. currency, almost $40,000 in traveler’s checks, Chinese passports and other personal papers. The man who lost it told workers at a Best Buy store at the mall. He was taken to the police station, where he was confirmed as the rightful owner.

Man killed by police was in unfamiliar area CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — An unarmed man shot by police as he sought help after a car crash had moved to North Carolina to be with his fiancee and was working two jobs, his family said Monday. Family members said at a news conference that Jonathan A. Ferrell, 24, had lived in the Charlotte area for less than a year and was likely unfamiliar with the area he was driving when he crashed early Saturday. Police were called after the former Florida A&M University football player knocked on the door of a home near the crash. He was hit with a Taser as he approached officers and then shot, resulting in a voluntary manslaughter charge against one of the officers. A first appearance was scheduled for the officer today after being postponed by a day. Ferrell’s mother said she was praying for the officer, Randall Kerrick. “I truly forgive him. I pray for him. And I pray that he gets off the police force,” Georgia Ferrell said.

Pot use on federal land causing conflicts TACOMA, Wash. (AP) — Karen Strand didn’t think she’d get in trouble for having a small container of medical marijuana when she went hiking in Olympic National Park this summer. President Barack Obama, she remembered, had said the federal government had “bigger fish to fry” than people who follow state marijuana laws, and Washington state had just legalized pot. But a ranger pulled her over on a remote gravel road, and Strand wound up as one of at least 27,700 people cited for having pot on federal land since 2009, according to an Associated Press analysis of federal court data. The number of citations is small compared to the hundreds of millions of visitors to national parks, forests and monuments each year. But it nevertheless illustrates one of the many issues Washington, Colorado and other states face in complying with last

month’s Justice Department memo that requires them to address eight federal law enforcement priorities if they want to regulate marijuana. Among those priorities is keeping marijuana use and possession off federal property. State officials have no plans to license pot gardens or stores on federal land, but beyond that, they say, it’s not clear what they can do to discourage backpackers or campers from bringing a few joints into Rocky Mountain or Mount Rainier National Park. “It’s not one of the big topics we’ve talked a lot about,” said Jaime Smith, a spokeswoman for Washington Gov. Jay Inslee. Other concerns on the DOJ’s list include keeping marijuana away from kids and cartels, preventing drugged driving and pot-related gun violence, and keeping unregulated marijuana grows from spoiling federal land. Thousands of people

Fed set to reduce bonds purchases WASHINGTON (AP) — Hiring is soft. Pay is barely up. Consumers are cautious. Economic growth has yet to pick up. And yet on Wednesday, the Federal Reserve is expected to take its first step toward reducing the extraordinary stimulus it’s supplied to help the U.S. economy rebound from its deepest crisis since the Great Depression. If it does, the Fed will likely spark a debate: Has the economy strengthened enough to withstand the pullback? The answer might not be clear for months. The Fed is meeting this week at a time of deepening uncertainty about who will succeed Chairman Ben Bernanke when his term ends in January. On Sunday, Lawrence Summers, who was considered the leading candidate, withdrew from consideration. Summers’ withdrawal followed growing resistance from critics. His exit could open the door for his chief rival, Janet Yellen, the Fed’s vice chair. If chosen by President Barack Obama and confirmed by the Senate, Yellen would

become the first woman to lead the Fed. For months, the Fed has said it will slow its $85 billion-a-month in Treasury and mortgage bond purchases once the outlook for the job market has improved substantially. Those purchases have been designed to keep long-term loan rates low to get people to borrow and spend and invest in the stock market. Super-low rates are credited with helping fuel a housing comeback, support economic growth, drive stocks to record highs and restore the wealth of many Americans. Few think the Fed will significantly reduce its bond purchases — not now, anyway. Many economists think the Fed will announce when its two-day policy meeting ends Wednesday that it will slow its purchases by $10 billion — to $75 billon a month. The pullback is expected to come from the Fed’s Treasury purchases. It will likely maintain the pace of its mortgage bond buying to try to keep home-loan rates down to sustain the housing rebound.

Engineers trying to free ship from reef GIGLIO ISLAND, Italy (AP) — Using a vast system of steel cables and pulleys, maritime engineers on Monday gingerly winched the massive hull of the Costa Concordia off the Italian reef the cruise ship had struck in January 2012. But progress in pulling the heavily listing luxury liner to an upright position was going much slower than expected. Delays meant the delicate operation — originally scheduled from dawn to dusk Monday — was not expected to be completed before today. “Things are going like they should, but on a timetable that is dragging out,” Franco Gabrielli, head of Italy’s Civil Protection Agency, said Monday evening. Never before has such an enormous cruise ship been righted. Salvage workers struggled to overcome obstacle after obstacle as they slowly inched toward their goal of raising the crippled ship 65 degrees to the upright position. An early morning storm delayed the salvage command barge from getting into place for several hours. Later, some of the cables dragging the ship’s hull upright went slack, forcing engineers to climb

the hull to fix them. The Concordia itself didn’t budge for the first three hours after the operation began, engineer Sergio Girotto told reporters. The initial operation to lift the ship moved it just 3 degrees toward vertical. After 10 hours, the crippled ship had edged upward by just under 13 degrees, a fraction of what had been expected. Still, the top engineers were staying positive. “Even if it’s 15 to 18 hours, we’re OK with that. We are happy with the way things are going,” Girotto said. After some 6,000 tons of force were applied — using a complex system of pulleys and counterweights — Girotto said “we saw the detachment” of the ship’s hull from the reef thanks to undersea cameras. At the waterline, a few feet of slime-covered ship that had been underwater slowly became visible. Thirty-two people died on Jan. 13, 2012, when the Concordia slammed into a reef and toppled half-submerged on its side after coming too close to Giglio Island. The reef sliced a 70-meter-long (230-foot) gash into what is now the exposed side off the hull.

receive tickets every year charging them with having pot on U.S. property — a federal misdemeanor punishable by up to 6 months in jail and a $5,000 fine. The charges typically don’t result in jail time, but often do require at least one court appearance. They are frequently negotiated down to an infraction, akin to a traffic ticket, and a fine of up to a few hundred dollars. Through the first seven months of this year, at least 146 people had been cited in Washington for having pot on federal land, which makes up nearly one-third of the state. At least 135 had been cited in Colorado. Washington’s figure is slightly below the same period for the past few years, while Colorado’s is roughly on track. The number of people cited nationally has dropped, from 6,282 in 2009 to 5,772 in 2012, and is on pace to hit about 5,300 this year, according

to data from the U.S. Courts Central Violations Bureau. The citations were issued at national parks, seashores, forests, military bases and monuments. There were even 10 tickets issued at the Pentagon. Officials say the actual numbers are likely greater: Park rangers and other federal agents sometimes simply write on the ticket that the offender had a controlled substance, without specifying the drug. Defendants say being prosecuted for having tiny amounts of pot on U.S. land — especially in Washington, Colorado and states with medical marijuana laws — belies the administration’s assertions that going after people who comply with state marijuana laws is not a priority. The DOJ first announced that position in a 2009 memo, though the fine print also made clear that pot isn’t welcome on federal property. Strand, 36, was pulled

over for having a broken taillight, and the ranger reported that he could smell fresh pot. She was ticketed for having 2 grams — far less than the ounce, or 28 grams, allowed by Washington’s recreational pot law, or the 24 ounces allowed by the state’s medical marijuana law. “It is exceptionally confusing,” she said. One morning this month, Strand sat in a small, crowded room at the federal courthouse in Tacoma for her initial appearance on charges of marijuana possession and drug paraphernalia — a pipe. Near her sat her husband as well as several other people caught with weed on federal land, including a 21-year-old man who was accused of having 0.1 grams during a traffic stop on a highway that skirts Mount Rainier National Park. “I just thought it was legal now,” Jonah Hunt said. “I didn’t know I was on federal land.”

OFFICER: Insurance companies dispute over care FROM PAGE A1

As a reserve deputy, Meeks is not a paid employee. He is employed by an Angola company and has insurance through it. Sheriff Tim Troyer has been working to get Meeks’ health care covered by the county’s worker’s compensation policy. Meeks’ original health care costs while in the hospital have been covered. There’s now some dispute between insurance companies over on-going care. Meeks is married and has three children. The reserve officer has a full-time job at a factory in Angola. Initially there were disputes over Meeks’ status as an employee with the county because as a reserve,

he is a volunteer. Then his insurance carrier through work said his health care would not be covered because his injuries were sustained through work for another employer, Troyer said. Meanwhile, Troyer said there have been many people in the community who have come forward to donate money to the Meeks family to help while Adam is not earning while on medical leave. Also, fundraisers are planned. On the night of Aug. 24, deputies and the Indiana State Police were responding to the Story Lake area south of Ashley to assist DeKalb County police with a 911 call reporting a man with a gun threatening to shoot

people at a large gathering, Troyer said. When Meeks, in his patrol car, crested a hill and encountered another southbound vehicle entering the road, the deputy tried to avoid a collision with the passenger vehicle. Meeks went partially off of the east side of the road and began to lose control. The deputy then drove back across S.R. 327 and off the west side of the road, striking a tree. Meeks was pinned in his car for more than an hour, requiring extrication by responding fire rescue crews. Once extricated, Meeks was flown from the crash site to Parkview Trauma Center in Fort Wayne by Samaritan Helicopter for treatment.

worker was assigned at the Naval Yard, according to two defense officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly. He was also pursuing a bachelor’s degree in aeronautics online with Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, the school said. He started classes

in July 2012. In addition to those killed, more than a dozen people were hurt, including a police officer and two female civilians who were shot and wounded. They were all expected to survive. The Washington Navy Yard is a sprawling labyrinth of buildings and streets protected by armed guards and metal detectors, and

employees have to show their IDs at doors and gates to come and go. About 20,000 people work there. The rampage took place at Building 197, the headquarters for Naval Sea Systems Command, which buys, builds and maintains ships, submarines and combat systems. About 3,000 people work at headquarters, many of them civilians.

FREMONT — As Fremont Community Schools continues on a $4 million building renovation project, the process of securing a general obligation bond issue began Monday. The Fremont Community Schools Board of Education approved a $2 million bond resolution to pay for the second $2 million phase of the work. The approval came after a public hearing. There were no comments from the public. Selling bonds was considered most cost effective by the corporation. Curt Fletcher with Umbaugh and Associates, Indianapolis, consultant to the corporation, explained the resolution includes a maximum of $2 million with the first payment due June 30, 2014, and an interest rate in the 1.25 percent neighborhood. Richard Wirtz, Fremont Schools business manager, said EMCOR, Indianapolis, conducted an energy study on the school corporation. Once its recommendations are implemented, it’s estimated the corporation could save an average of $200,000-$300,000 annually. Wirtz said the first part of the renovations included replacement of air

conditioning in buildings and changing classroom lighting at Fremont high and elementary schools. The district will also be receiving energy controls for heating, ventilation and air conditioning. In the second phase, Wirtz said the corporation is proposing several projects including repairing the Fremont Middle School roof, possibly repair the elementary building’s roof, repaving of the parking lot behind the high school by the bus garage, replacement of some doors and windows and resurfacing of the tennis courts and football field track. The board also: • held a public hearing on the proposed 2014 budget. The district’s proposed $13 million budget for 2013-14 is slightly less than the current year’s budget of $13.1 million. It partially includes $387,000 rainy day fund, $6.2 million for the general fund and $2.2 million for capital improvements. • accepted Wirtz’s retirement effective Sept. 27 as the corporation’s business manager. Wirtz has been with the Fremont Schools the last 13 years, the last year as business manager. Superintendent Lori Vaughn said Wirtz has agreed to stay on during transitioning, while helping see the bond

issue process be completed. “I don’t know how I would have made it through my first year without him,” Vaughn said. She became superintendent in July 2012. Vaughn said Wirtz’s position was posted internally, but there were no applicants. Outside of the corporation, there were four applicants, she said, and three were interviewed. Vaughn said she will likely make a recommendation to the board at an upcoming special meeting before next month’s regular meeting. • learned as negotiations with the corporation’s teacher association continue, the board opted to have employee insurance remain with Anthem, except it will be administered differently through Indiana Northeast Insurance. The teacher association’s contract expired in June. • approved a waiver of due process policy. Vaughn said the Educational Opportunity Center in Angola now offers an evening program for students who would otherwise be expelled. Though the policy is more procedural, Vaughn said it means students may continue their education at EOC, provided they meet guidelines. Students assigned to EOC would not be expelled from FCS enrollment.

Obama warns of ‘chaos’ WASHINGTON (AP) — In a blistering warning to congressional Republicans, President Barack Obama said Monday it would be the “height of irresponsibility” for lawmakers to cause a new economic crisis just five years after the near-collapse of the nation’s financial system. “I cannot remember a time when one faction of one party promises economic chaos if it can’t get 100 percent of what it wants,” Obama said, contending that the stance of some conservative lawmakers amounts to just that. Some of those Republi-

cans say they will vote to extend current spending levels or to increase the nation’s debt ceiling only if Obama delays putting in place his health care law, a condition Obama has rejected. Others say scheduled spending cuts should stay in place to reduce the deficit, while Obama wants the “sequestration” cuts reworked. The president spoke at a White House event pegged to the fifth anniversary of the bankruptcy of the Lehman Brothers investment bank, which marked the beginning of a global financial crisis. The White House used the anniversary

to lay out the president’s markers for upcoming fiscal fights with Congress over funding the government and raising the nation’s debt limit. Obama’s remarks came as local and federal authorities dealt with the deadly shootings at the Washington Navy Yard, just a few miles from the White House. At least 12 people were killed, authorities said. Obama delayed his remarks to allow Washington’s mayor and police chief to update the public on the situation. He pledged to make sure “whoever carried out this cowardly act is held responsible.”

U.N. confirms Syrian weapons UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Careful not to blame either side for a deadly chemical weapon attack, U.N. inspectors reported Monday that rockets loaded with the nerve agent sarin had been fired from an area where Syria’s military has bases, but said the evidence could have been manipulated in the rebel-controlled stricken neighborhoods. The U.S., Britain and France jumped on evidence in the report — especially the type of rockets, the composition of the sarin agent, and trajectory of the missiles

— to declare that President Bashar Assad’s government was responsible. Russia, Syria’s closest ally, called the investigators’ findings “deeply disturbing,” but said it was too early to draw conclusions. The Syrian government’s claims that opposition forces were responsible for the attack “cannot be simply shrugged off,” Russian Ambassador Vitaly Churkin insisted. The conclusions represented the first official confirmation by impartial scientific experts that chemical weapons were used

in Syria’s civil war, but the inspectors’ limited mandate barred them from identifying who was responsible for the Aug. 21 attack. “This is a war crime,” U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon told the Security Council when he presented the report. “The results are overwhelming and indisputable. The facts speak for themselves.” Ban called it “the most significant confirmed use of chemical weapons against civilians since Saddam Hussein used them” in Halabja, Iran, in 1988, and “the worst use of weapons of mass destruction in the 21st century.” The deep division between Western backers of rebels seeking to overthrow Assad and Russian and Chinese supporters of the regime has paralyzed the U.N. Security Council since the Syrian conflict began 2 1/2 years ago. Even though the United States and Russia agreed Saturday on the framework to put Syria’s chemical weapons stockpile and precursors under international control for future destruction, their top diplomats were at odds Monday over a new Security Council resolution that would make the deal legally binding — and whether there should be a reference to possible military enforcement if Syria doesn’t comply. After months of negotiations, the U.N. inspectors went to Syria to visit the sites of three alleged chemical attacks earlier this year and were in the capital of Damascus on Aug. 21 when reports and videos began surfacing of a possible chemical attack.

Leo takes ACAC title match Garrett boys battle early BY MATT GETTS mgetts@kpcmedia.com

GARRETT — When the first goal lit up the scoreboard deep into the second half, it erroneously gave the Leo Lions a 2-0 boys soccer lead over host Garrett Monday evening. The score stayed that way for a couple of minutes. In a way, it was fitting. It was only one goal, but it was that big. In a game that decided the Allen County Athletic Conference championship, the Lions rode the momentum of that one goal to a 3-0 victory. The win improved the Lions to 8-0-3, 4-0 in league games. Garrett dropped to 6-4-1 overall, 3-1 in ACAC contests. The Railroaders went toe-to-toe with the Lions for more than 50 minutes, and it wasn’t until 28:14 was left in the contest that Leo senior Dennis Moric broke the deadlock. The Lions scored twice more over the next 11 minutes to turn what had been a taunt, evenly matched affair early into a Leo win. “I’m definitely proud of the way we played,” Garrett coach Doug Klopfenstein said. Garrett gave Leo everything it wanted and more early on, missing on several scoring opportunities.

In one of the contest’s crucial moments, Garrett senior senior Karsten Cooper launched a header toward the goal with 22:31 left in the first half. The ball struck the post and bounced back.

early score might have done to the team’s confidence. “If we could have found a way to score, who knows what happens?” Klopfenstein said. For whatever reason, Garrett could not keep pace with Leo in the second half, as even the initial 10 minutes of the final period saw the Lions peppering Garrett’s defense with strong scoring tries.

Garrett defenders Blake Western, Andrew Bishop, Chris Colby and Ashton Castator managed to turn back all of those tries until Moric’s tally broke the ice. “We could never get it out of our half” of the field in the second half, Klopfenstein said. “Leo increased their level of play in the second half. We didn’t do a very good job of matching that.”

EN spikers too much for Cougars BY JAMES FISHER jfisher@kpcmedia.com

KENDALLVILLE — East Noble followed up a rough weekend with a three-game sweep of Central Noble on Monday, topping the Cougars 25-21, 25-5, 25-22. “It’s always nice to come out and get a win on Monday, especially after a long weekend at Concord where we feel we didn’t do our best,” explained East Noble coach Nicki Ramey. The Knights moved to 9-7 on the season. Kourtney Edwards had 10 kills and was 15-of-16 at the service line. Kavan Edwards had eight kills, with 11 digs for Jacey Cauhorn. Payton Hart added seven digs, with 14 assists for Sydney Rodenbeck and 12 assists for Natalie Galaviz. Darby Roe had nine digs and five kills for the Cougars. Tricia Van Gessel dished out 13 assists and Courtney Freeman had two blocks for Central Noble. “Coverage area is the thing we

The squad lost 26-24, 25-11 to Bethany Christian, the tournament champion. But the Cougars won 25-14, 25-1 over Cornerstone Christian and beat South Bend Riley 25-14, 25-20. Roe had 16 kills and 17 aces during the tournament. Kennedy Forker had 32 digs and Van Gessel dished out 42 assists. Haley Duncan contributed six solo blocks. The Knights were 1-2 at the Concord Invitational. The lone win came 25-11, 25-23 against Northrop. East Noble lost 25-17, 25-19 to Concord and fell 25-19, 25-15 to Westview.

Porcello, Tigers beat Mariners Colts deal DETROIT (AP) — Rick Porcello struck out 10 in six innings and the Detroit Tigers beat the Seattle Mariners 4-2 on Monday night to move a step closer to their third straight AL Central title. Victor Martinez broke a 1-all tie in the sixth with a run-scoring single, and Omar Infante followed with his own RBI single. Porcello (13-8) allowed a run and five hits with two walks, falling one strikeout short of his career high. Drew Smyly got five outs in relief and Jose Veras finished the eighth. Joaquin Benoit pitched a hitless ninth for his 21st save in 21 chances. The Tigers entered with a five-game division lead over Cleveland. Joe Saunders (11-15) pitched well until the sixth, when he got two outs before a walk and three hits chased him from the game. Abraham Almonte homered for Seattle, which has lost seven of

eight. It was tied at 1 in the sixth when Miguel Cabrera walked and Prince Fielder followed with a single. Martinez’s single up the line in right field scored Cabrera, and Infante lined a single to left to make it 3-1. That rally made a winner of Porcello, who has bounced back nicely

after giving up eight earned runs in a 20-4 loss to Boston on Sept. 4. Porcello pitched his first career complete game in a win over the Chicago White Sox last Tuesday, and he was sharp against the punchless Mariners as well. The Tigers took a 1-0 lead in the first when

Torii Hunter and Cabrera hit back-to-back singles, and Hunter came home on a wild pitch. After that mistake, Saunders quieted Detroit, allowing no more than one baserunner in any inning until the sixth. But it was a frustrating finish for Saunders, who allowed six runs over three innings in his previous start against Houston. He ended up yielding three runs and seven hits in 5 2-3 innings this time. Tom Wilhelmsen relieved Saunders and got out of the sixth, but appeared to get hit in the right leg by Alex Avila’s leadoff single in the seventh. Wilhelmsen stayed in the game and eventually allowed an RBI single by Hunter with two outs. Justin Smoak’s RBI single off Smyly in the eighth made it 4-2. Notes: Porcello struck out 11 against Pittsburgh on May 28. … Smoak snapped an 0-for-17 slump with a fourth-inning single.

with injuries INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Colts returned to their locker room bruised and battered Monday. Nearly half of their opening-day offensive starters couldn’t finish Sunday’s game. Two of the four injured players, Vick Ballard and Donald Thomas, are done for the year. Andrew Luck was sacked three more times, including on fourth-and-10 with 87 seconds left in the game. The defense gave up too many big plays, and the combination led to Indy’s first home loss in 12 months. Things aren’t about to get any easier. Indianapolis now heads West to face the equally upset 49ers. “We talk about the 24-hour rule when you win, but it doesn’t seem to apply when you lose,” coach Chuck Pagano said Monday, drawing laughter. “I don’t know why, but it just doesn’t. Everybody’s miserable till you get to tee it up again the next Sunday. They (the 49ers) are coming off a tough loss, we’re coming off a tough loss, so I think it will be the same in both places.” Most outsiders didn’t expect Indianapolis (1-1) to replicate last season’s magical run, though Luck SEE COLTS, PAGE B2

East Noble boys rout Norwell, 9-0 BY JAMES FISHER jfisher@kpcmedia.com

KENDALLVILLE — East Noble senior Evan Strack came through with his first varsity hat trick, scoring three goals as the Knights defeated Norwell 9-0 in a boys varsity soccer match on Monday. East Noble keeper Kaleb Williams scored the shutout, making two saves. But Williams saw little action, as the Knight’s controlled the game. “The midfield did a good job of breaking down things,” explained East Noble coach Rob Berkley. “Our team did a good job on possession, we were able to keep the ball and move the ball.” Mason Diffendorfer assisted on two goals for East Noble. Also scoring in the game for the Knights were Jared Teders, Matt Patton, Alex Pashea, Victor Gonzalez, Jesse Maley and Zan Foltyniak. West Noble 10, Prairie Heights 2 West Noble had five goals in each half on the way to its 10-2 win over the Panthers. Uriel Macias scored four times for West Noble, with two goals apiece for

Cole then struck for the Cougars in the second half on an assist from Boone Shellman to give the Cougars a 2-1 win. Zac Rexroad and Devin Shook split time in goal for the Cougars, making 11 stops between them. Homestead 3, DeKalb 1 The DeKalb Barons fell behind 2-1 at the half to Homestead and couldn’t muster a rally in falling to the Spartans, 3-1. The loss dropped the Barons to 8-3 overall, 2-3 in Northeast Hoosier Conference contests. Landon Cochran had DeKalb’s goal. Brennan Cochran was credited with the assist. Homestead outshot the Barons, 14-11.

did pull off another fourthquarter comeback in Week 1 and had the Colts in position to do it again in Week 2. But that was a tougher week than anybody anticipated. On Thursday, the Colts lost Ballard, their top running back, when his right knee gave out in the middle of practice. He has a torn anterior cruciate ligament and has already been put on season-ending injured reserve. Left guard Thomas is likely to join Ballard on that list this week after tearing a quad tendon in his right leg. Pagano said Thomas will have surgery later this week. Tight end Dwayne Allen was inactive Sunday because of a hip injury, and receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey left the Miami game early with what was initially described as a rib injury.

Pagano said Monday he thought Heyward-Bey hurt the “whole backside” — shoulder, rib and back. Whatever the injury, Pagano said the MRI exam was negative and Heyward-Bey could practice Wednesday or Thursday. Of course, that was the initial prognosis for Allen last week. “I think it’s the nature of football, it’s a violent game. Guys get injured and it stinks,” Luck said. “But I think that’s also why the nation likes it (football) so much, because it is a violent game.” Indy isn’t fretting over the injuries. Rookie Hugh Thornton, a third-round draft pick, got good reviews from Pagano after replacing Thomas in Sunday’s game. He’s expected to make his first NFL start at San Francisco (1-1).

Johnson wins BMW LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) — Zach Johnson is having a September to remember, and there’s still one very big week to go. In one tournament, he made a 25-foot birdie putt on his final hole to earn the last spot on the Presidents Cup team. In the next one, Johnson made a bunch of big putts in the final round of the rain-delayed BMW Championship for a 6-under 65 for a two-shot victory over Nick Watney. Next up? His win Monday at Conway Farms gave Johnson the No. 4 seed going into Tour Championship, giving him a clear shot at the FedEx Cup and its $10 million prize. “It’s hard to grasp the last two weeks of golf,” Johnson said. “It’s not like you have to win every week to win that FedEx Cup. You’ve just got

to win at the right times, or play well at the right times. And I like the momentum I have for next week.” Johnson’s 10th career win came at the expense of Jim Furyk, who endured another dose of final-round disappointment. Furyk, who had a one-shot lead, has failed to win the last six times he had at least a share of the lead going into the last round. He holed a 12-foot birdie putt at No. 10 to build a two-shot lead, but played the last eight holes in 2-over and wound up with a 71 to finish alone in third. Furyk had to settle for slice of history Friday as the sixth player in PGA Tour history with a 59. Only three players in that exclusive club went on to win — Al Geiberger is the only player to win when the 59 was not in the final round.

SPORTS BRIEFS • Pac-12 reprimands officials TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — The Pac-12 Conference has reprimanded the officials in Saturday night’s game between Wisconsin and Arizona State for their actions in the bizarre closing seconds. The Pac-12 said the officials did not act with enough urgency or properly handle the end of game situation when Wisconsin quarterback Joel Stave awkwardly took a knee and the clock ran out on the Badgers in the ensuing confusion. “This was an unusual situation to end the game,” Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott said in a statement on Monday. “After a thorough review, we have determined that the officials fell short of the high standard in which Pac-12 games should be managed. We will continue to work with all our officials to ensure this type of situation never occurs again.” The strange finish came after Wisconsin drove to Arizona State’s 13-yard line with 18 seconds left. Trying to set the Badgers up for a game-winning field goal, Stave ran left and tried to take a knee in the middle of the field. He clipped one of his offensive linemen while trying to go down and plopped the ball onto the yard marker before hopping up quickly. Players from both teams were confused by the play and the Sun Devils dove on the ball, thinking it was a fumble. Wisconsin lost precious seconds while the Arizona State players were pulled off and a few more when one of the officials held the Badgers at the line of scrimmage before allowing them to snap the ball. Wisconsin tried to get a play off so it could spike the ball, but ran out of time. Arizona State won 32-30. The Pac-12 said neither the referee nor anyone on his crew moved with appropriate urgency to clearly communicate that the ball was to be spotted so play could resume promptly. “It doesn’t change the outcome obviously and, like I said earlier, I don’t expect that,” Wisconsin coach Gary Andersen said. “But, it’s accountability and at the end of the day, that’s what we asked for.” One aspect of the play that seemed to throw everyone off was Stave planting the ball on the field and backing away. One Wisconsin player started to lunge toward the ball after seeing it lying on the ground and Arizona State’s players converged on it as their coaches yelled from the sideline that it was a fumble. Andersen said Stave did exactly what he was taught to do.

Nebraska’s Pelini, Frazier clash LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Hours after Bo Pelini fired back at criticism from one of the Nebraska program’s all-time greats, the sports website Deadspin posted 2-yearold audio of the Cornhuskers’ coach using profane language as he talked about fans and two newspaper writers. Pelini’s problematic Monday comes on the heels of yet another brutal loss for the Huskers. UCLA wiped out an 18-point deficit in Lincoln and beat Nebraska 41-21 on Saturday. The Deadspin audio posted Monday afternoon caught Pelini speaking off air with Husker Sports Network play-by-play man Greg Sharpe before his postgame radio interview following Nebraska’s win over Ohio State in October 2011. Pelini had been criticized by fans and media in the days leading to the Ohio State game for the Huskers’ performance the week before in a 31-point loss at Wisconsin. In the audio, Pelini repeatedly uses an expletive to refer to what he calls “fair-weather” fans. “I’m aware of it and I’m disappointed,” Nebraska Chancellor Harvey Perlman said Monday of the audio. “We are taking some time to consider it and what impact it would have on the university.” Perlman declined to answer whether Pelini was in danger of losing his job. Messages were left for Pelini, athletic director Shawn Eichorst, and Husker Sports Network general manager David Witty. During his weekly news conference, Pelini responded to criticism from former Huskers quarterback Tommie Frazier, saying if Frazier doesn’t like how he’s running the program, he doesn’t need his support. Frazier, who led the Huskers’ unbeaten national championship teams in 1994 and ‘95, ripped the direction of the program on Twitter hours after the loss to UCLA. Frazier called for the firings of Pelini’s defensive assistants and bemoaned what he saw as a lack of adjustments made in the game. He had been honored at halftime for his selection this year to the College Football Hall of Fame. Pelini said he heard about the tweet but had not read it. The sixth-year coach said the staff and administration are doing all they can to win games and help the players. “Since I came back here, I’ve embraced the former players, and if he feels like that, then so be it. We don’t need him. That’s a shame,” Pelini said. “Until you’ve sat in this seat and done it, anybody can have an opinion; anyone can do that. It’s easy to point fingers and stand outside and throw stones, so I just take it for what it is.” Frazier did not respond to messages from The Associated Press but issued a response via Twitter on Monday afternoon: “He’s right, he doesn’t need me. I’m not the answer but he needs someone to help define success for this program. Nebraska fans deserve more.”

Creating jobs, fighting drugs lead priority list Indiana’s local elected officials rate economic issues and drug-and-alcohol abuse as their top problems, a new survey says. The Indiana Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations released its survey last week. It reflects opinions from leaders of 401 local government agencies across the state. Northeast Indiana gets more than its fair share of representation, thanks to local officials sending their responses at a strong rate. Of the 413 local officials who answered the survey, 27 are from the four counties of northeast Indiana — a higher ratio than our population might suggest. With 11 people responding, Noble County has more voice in the survey than any county in the state. The survey is likely to get more attention than most studies of its kind. The state legislature sponsors it, and eight legislators serve on the advisory commission. The IU Public Policy Institute conducts the survey, giving it a high degree of credibility. Locally, Auburn Mayor Norm Yoder is a member of the commission. The survey asked local officials to rank their levels of concern about dozens of potential problems Overall economic conditions and drug and alcohol abuse tied at the top of the list, with 46 percent of officials rating them as major problems. Several topics related to the economy also rank high on the list of major problems — job loss and unemployment at 45 percent, business attraction and retention at 38 percent, foreclosures at 36 percent and abandoned properties at 34 percent. Relating to drug and alcohol abuse, the survey also lists “drug crime” as a serious problem at 36 percent. “Cost of health services” comes in as the third-rated major problem with 42 percent. Locally, Yoder’s answers to the survey match the overall results. He rates unemployment, drug crime and poverty as his community’s biggest challenges. He adds deteriorating private properties as a concern due to bankruptcies. Indiana Legislature needs to keep looking for creative solutions to drug crime, because we have a hard time keeping up with the spread of methamphetamine. Individual Hoosiers have to take responsibility for their part in solving the problems. If Hoosiers take better care of their health, avoid drug abuse and improve their training and qualifications for good jobs, that could go a long way toward making a better state. Local and state government should do their best to encourage people to make good choices about their lives. Government can set the stage for success by providing good schools and infrastructure. When local officials ranked their top priorities for the next two years, “local roads, streets and highways” joined the list alongside the topics of the economy and health care costs. Yoder said he believes the Legislature helped with one of those issues by increasing funding for roads and streets this year. Looking on the bright side, the survey found 70 percent of local officials are optimistic about the direction of their communities. That number includes 30 percent who are “highly optimistic,” matching last year’s result, which was the highest level since a 2001 survey.

Constitution Day: What should we celebrate? Submitted by the Indiana board of directors of the American Civil Liberties Union. Today we celebrate the 226th birthday of our Constitution. But what precisely should we celebrate? In the summer of 1787, the founders created a remarkable framework for our democracy — but their document was deeply flawed. Since individual liberty was not protected from the power of government in the original Constitution that was submitted for ratification, a Bill of Rights was added. The Bill of Rights reflected a broader vision of freedom. Even with the Bill of Rights, the Constitution remained flawed — it protected slavery. The Constitution we celebrate today, a document guaranteeing equality before the law, required a bloody civil war before amendments brought African Americans within the Constitution. But it would take another century before African Americans began to redeem the promise of the Civil War amendments. During that time, race discrimination became deeply embedded in our laws, our political institutions and our culture. Until 1954, it was even legitimized by the U. S. Supreme Court. It took more than 175 years after the Constitution was written before civil rights laws outlawed discrimination in employment, housing, public accommodations and voting. And what is true for the struggle for racial equality is also true about the struggle for other liberties. The Constitution tolerated the subjugation of women. It was not until

1920 that the 19th amendment gave women the elementary right to vote. This was not due to the wisdom of the founders and the original Constitution, but to the struggle in the streets that followed. If the framers knowingly left out Blacks and women, they didn’t even consider the rights of immigrants, gays and lesbians, children, students, prisoners, the mentally ill and the disabled. For nearly all of our history, these groups were largely unprotected by the Constitution. But one by one, they and their advocates fought to have the Constitution and Bill of Rights apply to them. But what happens when the government violates the Constitution — when it makes a law restricting free speech or religious liberty, or denying a group due process or equal protection of the laws? The conventional answer is that the courts will step in. But courts don’t act on their own. They are powerless to fulfill their function unless an aggrieved person challenges the constitutional violation. In 1910 the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was established, followed in 1920 by the American Civil Liberties Union. They gradually developed the resources to challenge constitutional violations on behalf of people who could not have done it alone. People whose rights had been violated were able to go to court, and their actions ignited the judiciary. For 130 years after the Bill of Rights was adopted, the most notable thing about it was its almost total lack of implementation by the courts. By the beginning of the 20th century, racial segregation was legal and

• pervaded all aspects of American society. Sex discrimination was firmly institutionalized and workers were arrested for labor union activities. Legal immigrants were deported for their political views, the police used physical coercion to extract confessions from criminal suspects, and members of minority religions were victims of persecution. As late as 1920, the U.S. Supreme Court had never once struck down any law or governmental action on First Amendment grounds. So when we celebrate our Constitution, we celebrate not only the remarkable document drafted 226 years ago at the Philadelphia Convention. We also celebrate the men and women who took that document seriously, who fought to make those rights a reality and expand its protections to those left out — some of whom risked their lives to fight for the constitutional rights of all Americans. In Indiana, we honor the brave men, women and children who have stood up for their rights against incredible odds, on the promise that, in the words of the great Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.: “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.” Happy Constitution Day.

Volatile sister must reach out for help by herself DEAR ABBY: My younger sister, “Tanya,” is 22 and a single mother. Her son is 2. She’s pregnant again, and this time her baby will be a girl. My sister is very dramatic and emotional. She gets angry easily and has a short fuse. She’s great with her son, except he picks up on her drama and is somewhat dramatic himself. My worry is that girls are more likely to imitate that behavior, and I’m concerned my niece will be just like her mother. Although Tanya has a good heart, her emotional issues have caused her to have horrible relationships with men, as our mother did. When I suggested to my sister that she talk to someone about her anger, she flipped out on me. We were both sexually abused as children. I have dealt with those issues and she has not. Was I rude to suggest she see someone about her emotional problems? — JUST TRYING TO HELP DEAR TRYING TO HELP: Suggesting that Tanya

DEAR ABBY: How does a person quit being a quitter? At 46, I have realized that this is what I am. I have quit everything — church, jobs, school. If I don’t like a friend, I just drop the person. The same goes for books,

exercise — everything! How do you stop the lifelong habit of quitting? — QUITTER IN CHARLESTON DEAR CHARLESTON: I hate to see you give yourself a pejorative label. It’s time to have yourself evaluated because it is possible you suffer from attention deficit disorder — and if you do, there is help for it. If that’s not the case, then start small, give yourself a goal you CAN accomplish and don’t stop until you have reached it. It doesn’t have to be anything complicated, but see it through. Then give yourself another, more difficult assignment and finish it. Perseverance is a skill that can be learned.

On this date: • In 1787, the Constitution of the United States was completed and signed by a majority of delegates attending the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia. • In 1862, more than 3,600 men were killed, many more wounded, captured or left missing, in the Civil War Battle of Antietam in Maryland; the battle effectively halted the Confederates’ advance into Maryland.

Now it becomes difficult to Dr. Anthony distinguish the flakes Komaroff from their background. That is the challenge radiologists face when trying to read the mammograms of a woman with dense breasts. There now is a federal law in the United States that mammogram reports should always explicitly state whether a breast is “dense” or not. So should you have additional screening tests for breast cancer? The trouble is,

no test can diagnose breast cancer with 100 percent accuracy, especially in women with dense breasts. And the additional tests that I’m about to describe pick up a lot of “false positives”: The result looks like there might be cancer, requiring a biopsy that shows no cancer. Additional screening tests can also be costly. If you do decide to have further screening, here are some options to consider: • Ultrasound. In September 2012, the FDA approved a new breast ultrasound system specifically for screening dense breasts. This ultrasound scans the entire breast using high-frequency sound waves and quickly produces several images. If you were going to have additional testing, your doctor most likely will recommend this ultrasound. • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses magnets and radio waves to visualize the breasts. It would not

DEAR DOCTOR K: After my last mammogram, the doctor told me I have dense breasts. Does this increase my risk of breast cancer? DEAR READER: A woman’s breast contains different types of tissue, including fat. Women with dense breasts have relatively less fat in their breasts. Specifically, if more than 50 percent of your breasts is made up of other breast tissue (as opposed to fat), then by definition you are said to have “dense breasts.” It’s not uncommon: About 40 percent of women have dense breasts. Women with dense breasts have a slightly increased chance of developing breast cancer — and dense breasts can make cancer harder to spot. That’s because both breast tissue and tumors appear white on a mammogram. Imagine looking at snowflakes on a black glove.

normally be recommended just because a woman has dense breasts, because of the problem of false-positive results. • Digital mammography sends X-ray images of the breast to a computer, rather than to film, making them easier to manipulate and interpret. A large study of nearly 50,000 women concluded that digital mammography was somewhat more accurate than regular film mammography in women with dense breasts. Talk with your doctor about your overall risk of developing breast cancer. Together, you can determine what screening tests you need and how often, and what prevention strategies you should be following. DR. KOMAROFF is a physician and professor at Harvard Medical School.

Colorado getting look at massive flood damage ESTES PARK, Colo. (AP) — Colorado mountain towns cut off for days by massive flooding slowly reopened to reveal cabins toppled, homes ripped from their foundations and everything covered in a thick layer of muck. Anxious home and business owners cleaned and cleared out what they could salvage as the weather cleared Monday to resume airlifting those still stranded. Crews plowed up to a foot of mud left standing along Estes Park’s main street after the river coursed through the heart of town late last week. “I hope I have enough flood insurance,” said Amy Hamrick, whose friends helped her pull up flooring and clear water and mud from the crawl space at her coffee shop. Her inventory was safely stashed at her home on higher grounds, she said. Emergency officials offered a first glimpse at the scope of the damage. Counties reported some 1,500 homes have been destroyed and about 17,500 damaged, according to an initial estimate released Sunday by the Colorado Office of Emergency Management. The number of people still unaccounted for was dropping Monday as Larimer County officials said they had made contact with hundreds of people

in the canyon,” said Deyn Johnson, owner of the Whispering Pines cottages, three of which floated down the river after massive amounts of water were released from the town’s dam. Estes Park town administrator Frank Lancaster said this flood is worse than the previous ones because of the sustained rains and widespread damage to infrastructure across the Rocky Mountain Foothills. Major roads were washed away, small towns like Glen Haven were reduced to debris, and key infrastructure like gas lines and sewers systems were destroyed. That means hundreds of homes in Estes Park alone could be unreachable and uninhabitable for up to a year. AP But there appears to Flood victims are helped off of a military rescued Monday.

previously not heard from in flooded areas. With rescuers reaching more pockets of stranded residents and phone service being restored in some areas, officials expect those numbers to continue to decrease. “You’re got to remember, a lot of these folks lost cellphones, landlines, the Internet four to five days ago,” Gov. John Hickenlooper said on NBC’s “Today” show. “I am very hopeful that the vast majority of these people are safe and sound.” The death toll remained at four confirmed fatalities and two missing and presumed dead. Helicopter searches and airlifts resumed Monday as the sun broke through the clouds over the mountains. Rainy weather had kept the helicopters grounded most of the day Sunday and early Monday. On Sunday, military helicopters rescued 12 people before the rain, and 80 more people were evacuated by ground, Colorado National Guard Lt. James Goff said. In Estes Park, comparisons were drawn to two historic and disastrous flash floods: the Big Thompson Canyon Flood of 1976 that killed 145 people, and the Lawn Lake flood of 1982 that killed three. “Take those times 10.
