Franklin Christmasevent set for Dec. 7

This year the City ofFranklin has decided to goagainst tradition and revealthe Lamplighters well aheadof the Christmas parade andlamp-lighting ceremony. “Ihave decided to reveal the

Lamplighters early this yearso that as many of them thatwould like to participate in theevents can do so,” Mayor Ray-mond Harris said. “This year’sLamplighters are our veter-ans, and they will be placednear the beginning of the pa-rade to highlight their serviceto this country and to thiscommunity.”

Veterans who would like toparticipate in this year’sChristmas parade and lamp-lighting ceremony should con-tact the Office of CommunityDevelopment at 337-828-6345or [email protected].

When you contact the Officeof Community Development,please include your branch ofthe military, the years youserved and your contact infor-mation.

Parties agree shutdown not tobe repeated, solution elusive

WASHINGTON (AP) —Leaders from both parties in-sist a sequel to the govern-ment shutdown must beavoided although a plan tododge it is still elusive.

“This can never happenagain,” Treasury SecretaryJacob Lew said.

Added Senate RepublicanLeader Mitch McConnell:“There’ll not be another gov-ernment shutdown, you cancount on that.”

The 16-day partial shut-down ended last week al-though a possible repeat maybe on the horizon. Lawmak-ers approved a budget thatkeeps the lights on throughJan. 15 and lets Treasurycontinue to pay its billsthrough Feb. 7.

That’s not to say there is asolution at hand, and no oneis rushing forward with al-ternatives to a potential re-peat of the gridlock thatshuttered parts of the gov-ernment and pushed the na-tion toward a default on itsdebt. The political price hasbeen high ahead of 2014’smidterm elections, especiallyfor Republicans.

“I think there was someground lost from the politicalpoint of view,” said formerFlorida Gov. Jeb Bush, a po-tential 2016 presidential con-tender for the GOP.

Democratic House LeaderNancy Pelosi of California re-iterated the public’s reactionto the partisan gamesman-ship that played out overmore than two weeks: “I jointhe American people in theirdisgust at what happened interms of the shutdown of gov-ernment.”

But there’s no real way for-ward to dodge a repeat andits chief architect, Republi-can Sen. Ted of Cruz, is urg-ing one. Hundreds of thou-sands of government workerswere sent home amid theshutdown and national parkswere barricaded while politi-cians negotiated. The wholesituation could be repeated— combined with economicconsequences — early nextyear, perhaps with more se-vere consequences.

“The deal this week was alousy deal for the Americanpeople,” Cruz said.

It’s not ideal, but no onehas a tangible way to avoid

it.“We just went through an

awful period for our country,”said Sen. Lindsey Graham,

By PRESTON GILLDNA from a victim’s

pants pocket and the in-criminating words of hiskiller cousin were enoughFriday afternoon for a juryhere to convict 18-year-oldJaMichael Hudson of twocounts of second degreemurder in the doublekilling of a Franklin pairover three years ago.

When the verdict wasread, the half dozen familyand friends of the convictedman were visibly shaken;some burying their heads intheir hands.

Sixteenth Judicial Dis-trict Court Judge JamesMcClelland remanded Hud-son into custody to await apre-sentencing hearing asmandated since he wastried as an adult for a crimehe committed as a minor,days before his 16th birth-day.

Hudson was convicted forhis role in the deaths ofLarry Guillory, 49, and Au-drey Picard, 75, here onFeb. 3, 2010 at 6 DarceLane. Codefendant Randy“Crawfish” Joseph pleadedguilty in January 2012 tothe murder and robbery ofthe pair. Joseph, Hudson’scousin, was given two lifesentences. Joseph could notbe executed because he hadbeen identified as border-line retarded by a psycholo-gist. Hudson cannot be giv-en the death penalty be-cause he was a minor at thetime the crimes were com-mitted.

Several Franklin policeofficers and detectives hungaround the courtroom dur-ing the three hours the ninewomen and three men de-liberated the case.

“I want to stay until theverdict is read to show myrespects for the victims,”

said Amie Guidroz, one ofthe investigators.

The brutality of the mur-ders left a nightmarish im-pression on both alternatejurors.

Picard was beaten so se-verely her dentures werebroken and knocked out ofher mouth, her eye socketsmashed, blood splatteredthe wall five feet away andthere was nothing left toher face to be recognized.

Guillory, Joseph’s uncle,had been struck multipletimes on the head. Two ofthe blows left incisions thatcut through to the skull,one of which exposed thebrain through the fracturedskull.

Amy Baccarella, one ofthe alternates, said “I stillhave nightmares of thosepictures.”

They both said that with-out the benefit of delibera-tions, their initial feelingsat the close of the trial wasthat the state had provenHudson’s guilt.

Tim Duhon, the other al-ternate said, “I would haveliked to have seen more evi-dence like maybe the mur-der weapon, but I believe(Hudson) was there.”

Baccarella assessed theprosecution’s case as a“strong” one against Hud-son, especially the DNAlinked to Hudson that wasremoved from Guillory’spocket. She said the de-fense had not presentedanything to make her doubtthe case against Hudson.

Assistant District Attor-ney Anthony Saleme usedtestimony from BethanyHarris on Thursday to sayDNA inside of a turned outpocket of Larry Guilloryhad a 99.97 percent proba-bility of belonging to Hud-son.

Defense attorney EdwardMoses Jr. tried to minimizeHarris’ testimony duringcross examination as wellas in his closing arguments.

He reminded the jurorsthat Harris said Hudsoncannot be excluded as apossible suspect and couldnot say as an absolute factthe DNA belonged to hisclient.

“You can’t say that DNAtransfer was done in thathouse,” even if it was Hud-son’s DNA, Moses said.There could have been ahandshake somewhere out-side that house that trans-ferred Hudson’s DNA ontoanother person’s hand thateventually was transferredinto Guillory’s pocket,Moses argued trying to cre-ate doubt.

“Is it reasonable to doubtthe DNA is his? Yes, it is”Moses said. “Prove it... Ihaven’t seen anythinghere.”

Moses tried to convincejurors that Joseph’s guiltdid not mean Hudson wasguilty.

“Keep this question inyour mind: ‘When are yougoing to show me evidencethat JaMichael Hudsonkilled Audrey Picard andLarry Guillory’”, Mosessaid as he began his closingarguments. “What youheard was about RandyJoseph...How many wit-nesses put Jamichael in thehouse? None.”

Toward the conclusion oftestimony, Joseph wasbrought in the courtroom,shackled and in his Angolaprison garb. He nodded andsmiled at his cousin as hewalked toward the witnessstand.

Saleme’s questions weremostly answered with a“yeah” or “nah” including

each time Saleme askedJoseph if he recalled theseveral version of the storyhe told up until his trial.

“Do you remember (Assis-tant District Attorney) Vin-cent Borne described themurders?” Saleme askedJoseph regarding the state-ment of facts before hepleaded guilty.

“Yeah,” Joseph said withhis head cocked slightlyand leaning forward withhis face barely above thewitness stand.

“(Borne) said you andJamichael Hudson were in-volved and you agreed thatwas correct?,” Salemeasked.

“Yeah,” Joseph said. “Do remember telling

(Franklin Police ChiefSabria McGuire) that itwas Jamichael Hudson whokilled Larry Guillory andAudrey Picard while youwatched?

“Yeah,” Joseph said.Moses got Joseph to

agree he did not implicatehis cousin until after hewas told by Franklin policethat Hudson had implicat-ed him.

“That unnerved you a lit-tle bit?” Moses asked

“Yeah,” Joseph said withanother monosyllabic reply.

“So you decided to do onebetter and say Jamichaeldid it, right?” Mosesqueried.

“Yeah,” Joseph said. “Isaid so many stories I don’tremember.”

Joseph said it was hisblack shorts that had Pi-card’s blood splattered onthem which police founddiscarded in a garbage can.

“Yeah, and they found theshirt but they didn’t findthe hoodie,” Joseph said.No one had mentioned ahoodie during the trial.

Neither attorney chose toask Joseph if Hudson killedeither of the victims.

“The State is not sayingJamichael Hudson actedalone. We are saying he act-ed with Randy Joseph,”Saleme said in closing.

Saleme was given an un-expected gift during Moses’closing arguments.

“Why did the shorts onlyhave Audrey Picard’s bloodon them? Why not LarryGuillory’s?” Saleme said ashe repeated a questionposed by Moses without ex-plaining how the questionwould benefit his client.

“Maybe Randy Josephdidn’t kill Larry Guillory”but Hudson did, Saleme an-swered.

“This is not the crime ofone person. Randy Josephis doing two life sentences.That is justice. Do not stopthere,” Saleme urged.

If there is specific intenton both persons to commitan intend armed robberyand the victims are killed,you are guilty of second de-gree murder even if you arenot the person to land thefatal blow, Saleme ex-plained.

The defense will arguethat this was a 15-year-oldboy...and the life of Mr.Hudson is in your hands,”Saleme accurately predict-ed.

“At some point that nightthe life of Audrey Picard(and Larry Guillory were)in the hands of RandyJoseph and JaMichael Hud-son.... The state believesyou will agree and find Mr.Hudson guilty as charged.”

At least 10 of the 12 ju-rors were needed for theconviction which was re-turned about three hourslater.

R-S.C.A standoff between President Barack Obama and a group

of Republicans over spending for the budget year beginningOct. 1 and defunding the nation’s health care overhaul led tothe shutdown. Lawmakers also pushed the country to theedge of economic default by threatening the Treasury Depart-ment’s authority to continue borrowing the money needed topay the nation’s bills.

The bitter feuding ended on Wednesday, and a group ofHouse and Senate lawmakers has until Dec. 13 to produce aspending deal to stave off another shutdown and possible de-fault in early 2014.

“There were really no winners,” said Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va. “I mean, our country took an economic hit.”

The public won’t tolerate a repeat, said Sen. John McCain,R-Ariz.

“I am very confident the American people will not stand foranother reputation of this disaster,” he said.

No more shutdown...

CALVIN ARMELINGlencoe

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP)— Louisiana’s 5th Districtcongressional seat will re-main firmly in Republicanhands, after two GOP con-tenders advanced to a No-vember runoff and shut outthe Democrats in their bid toretake the seat they heldless than a decade ago.

State Sen. Neil Riser, aRepublican from Columbia,and Vance McAllister, a busi-nessman from Monroe, willcompete in the Nov. 16 elec-tion, after winning the mostsupport from voters in Sat-urday’s election.

The real surprise wasn’tthat two Republicans willface off in the runoff, butthat McAllister, a politicalnewcomer, managed to dis-tinguish himself among apack of 14 candidates, in-cluding six elected officials,in only two months of cam-paigning.

The self-made business-man poured an estimated$400,000 of his own cash in-to the race and got a sizableattention boost with the sup-port of the highly popular“Duck Dynasty” television

series star, Phil Robertson.“I knew we worked hard. I

did everything I could do,and it was in the Good Lord’shands,” McAllister said Sat-urday night. “I’m kind of at aloss for words. I’m speech-less. It’s humbling to doknow that this many peoplein this district can believe insomebody like that.”

Riser received supportfrom 32 percent of voterswhile McAllister had 18 per-cent in the low-turnout race,according to unofficial re-sults from the secretary ofstate’s office.

Going into the election,Riser was considered a lockon a runoff spot — but whowould be his opponent wasanybody’s guess. Now facinga political outsider in a one-on-one competition, Riser fo-cused on experience, sayinghe had a “proven record” andhad already worked to passbalanced budgets inLouisiana.

A lawmaker since 2008and owner of a funeral homebusiness, Riser is bestknown for sponsoring a stateconstitutional amendment

that makes it tougher to en-act gun restrictions inLouisiana. He said he would-n’t change his campaign fo-cus in the runoff.

“We’re going to keep somesending the same messagethat D.C. needs to pass abalanced budget, that spend-ing’s out of control,” he said.

McAllister ran as a politi-cal outsider and self-madebusinessman who couldbring common sense toWashington, D.C. “They’reready for somebody who’s re-al,” he said.

Riser and McAllister beatfive other elected officials vy-ing for the runoff spot: Pub-lic Service CommissionerClyde Holloway, a Republi-can; state Rep. MarcusHunter, a Democrat; stateRep. Robert Johnson, a De-mocrat; Monroe MayorJamie Mayo, a Democrat;and state Rep. Jay Morris, aRepublican.

By Abigail Van BurenDEAR ABBY: Last summer, after 24 years

of marriage, I finally summoned the nerveto take my teenage daughter and leave myemotionally abusive husband. We are boththriving now.

I have been in therapy, lost almost 45pounds and have rediscovered my self-confi-dence all over again. A friend I have knownfor more than 10 years has expressed inter-est in dating me. I like him very much, butI’m not sure if it would be appropriate todate yet. What do you think? — TENTA-TIVE IN MASSACHUSETTS

DEAR TENTATIVE: Tempting as this is,proceed with caution. When a person hasbeen emotionally starved for a long time,then begins to feel attractive, accepted andvalidated again, the result can be euphoria— a powerful “high.” Right now you need tobe rational.

What I think about your dating this manis less important than what your therapistthinks right now. Please make this questiona priority during your next sessions becausethe insight you’ll gain into yourself will helpyou not only in a relationship with this man— if you decide to have one — but in futureones as well.

******DEAR ABBY: My 86-year-old dad buys all

his food from the markdown “quick sale” ta-bles, then lets it sit in the fridge for weeksor even months before he eats it. He insiststhe mold is penicillin and good for you. Heeats moldy cheese, bread, fruit and meat Iwouldn’t feed to my dogs. He has a turkey inthe freezer that expired in 2008, and hecan’t understand why I won’t cook it for mypets.

Dad reads your column every day, so

please give me some in-put. By the way, he isn’tpoor and can afford good,fresh food. — PER-PLEXED DAUGHTER INSOUTHERN CALIFOR-NIA

DEAR PERPLEXEDDAUGHTER: Your fatheris a product of his up-bringing during the GreatDepression, a time whenmany people were starv-ing. The habits peopleform when they are youngcan be hard to shake.

One reason that perish-able products have a “sellby” date is that the foodbegins to lose its nutri-tional value. As to yourfather’s excuse that he’singesting “penicillin” when he eats moldyfruits, vegetables, baked goods and dairyproducts — I’m sure his doctor would preferhe get it by prescription only.

Spoiled food can cause serious illness,which is why the U.S. government publish-es pamphlets on the important topic of foodsafety. Visit www.foodsafety.gov and printout some of the “Food Safety at a Glance”charts for him. If he refuses to take your ad-vice and mine, perhaps he’ll be more recep-tive to what Uncle Sam has to say.

******DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend of two years,

“Jesse,” has suddenly changed. He’s push-ing me away. We are both 17 and have a 9-month-old baby.

Jesse spent the first six months of ourson’s life in state custody. Since he has been

back, he has been reallydistant. He ignores meand isn’t affectionate any-more. When I get upsetabout it, he denies it andsays I have no reason tobe upset.

I’m scared our relation-ship isn’t as strong as Ithought. My son deservesa family, but it’s fallingapart. What should I do?— TROUBLED IN TEN-NESSEE

DEAR TROUBLED:You have no idea whatm i g h thave hap-pened toJesse af-ter he wassent away,

so give him some space, butlet him know that if hewants to talk about it, youare willing to listen and besupportive. Don’t push anddon’t be clingy. You mayhave to be strong for allthree of you. Complete youreducation, take parentingclasses, and encourageJesse to do it, too. Do thisand your son WILL have afamily, whether or not it’sthe one you thought you’dhave with Jesse.

Ways to make Halloween healthierBy Becky Gautreaux,RD, LDN

Halloween is an excitingtime when children enjoydressing in costumes andreceiving candy and othertreats. However, the an-ticipation begins weeksbefore October 31st whenHalloween treats appearon store shelves. Avoidfalling into the marketingtrap of buying candy ear-ly. Purchase Halloweentreats a couple of days be-fore the big night to con-trol the temptation totreat the kids beforetrick-or-treating evenstarts.

Bags full of candy cantempt children tooverindulge in goodies.When they fill up on can-dy and other junk foods,kids are less likely to eatat mealtime and may endup with a stomach ail-ment.

When Halloween ar-rives, parents can helptheir children manage theurge to snack on sweetsby serving a healthy mealbefore going out. Limittrick-or-treaters to a fewhomes of family and closefriends. A smaller treatbag holds less candy andwill appear full morequickly; tricking kids intothinking they have lots of

treats. Children should wait

until they return home be-fore eating their treats.This will give parents anopportunity to inspectcandy to ensure it is safeto eat. It also helps adultsmanage how much littleones eat.

Allow kids to enjoy theirgoodies in limitedamounts. Children shouldbe taught that occasionalsweets can fit into ahealthy eating plan. In-dulging in a few pieces ofcandy on Halloween nightis all part of the fun. Afterthat, limit them to eatingone or two pieces of candya day as part a snack withlow fat milk or as dessertafter dinner.

Have your child activelyparticipate in dividing uptheir candy and makinglittle treat bags they canenjoy, one each day. Thisactivity helps teach por-tion control.

Store the candy in acabinet or other out-of-sight place that only par-ents can reach and not in-dulge in either. Because ofthe high sugar content,candy usually has a longshelf life. It can be en-joyed weeks later insteadof consuming it all withina few days. Help your

child see the benefit ofmaking Halloween treatslast longer.

When trick-or-treatersring your doorbell, offerthem treats that promotebetter health. All foodtreats should be packagedby the manufacturer.Snacks that are a betterchoice include dried fruit,raisins, pretzels, trailmix, animal crackers,100% juice boxes, cheesecrackers, cereal bars, gra-ham crackers, puddingcups, applesauce, 100calories packs, and minimicrowave popcorn bags.Consider inexpensive non-food items like pencils,erasers, stickers, tempo-rary tattoos, bubbles,bookmarks, small balls,disk flyers, jump ropes, orsidewalk chalk.

We can all take a part inminimizing childhood obe-sity one step at a time.

Alabama, FSU top1st BCS standings

Alabama and Florida Statehold the top two spots in thefirst BCS standings of theseason. Oregon was a closethird behind second-placeFlorida State.

The Seminoles (.9348 BCSaverage) are coming off theirbiggest win of the season, a51-14 victory at previouslyunbeaten Clemson.

The Ducks (.9320) have on-ly played one team that wasranked at the time, but couldget a boost in the next twoweeks with games againstUCLA and at Stanford.

Ohio State is a more dis-tant fourth, followed by Mis-souri in the standings re-leased Sunday night.

The top two teams in thefinal standings after the endof the regular season play inthe Rose Bowl for the nation-al title in January.

Alabama is a comfortableNo. 1 on the strength of be-ing top-ranked by a widemargin in both the USA To-day coaches’ poll and Harrispoll. The two-time defendingchampion Crimson Tide issecond in the computer rat-ings.

If the Tide can stay un-beaten, it should reach theBCS championship game forthe third straight year andfor the fourth time in fiveseasons.

The polls count for two-

thirds of a BCS grade.Florida State is No. 1 in

the computer ratings andthird in each poll. Oregon issecond in the polls andfourth in the computers.

The race between theDucks and Florida State isshaping up to be a close oneif both keep winning. TheSeminoles still must play un-beaten Miami, rival Floridaand potentially in the ACCchampionship game, whichcould be a rematch with Mia-mi or maybe a game againstVirginia Tech (6-1).

In addition to Oregon’snext two tough games, theDucks play Oregon State andpotentially the Pac-12 titlegame against perhaps UCLAor Arizona State.

Ohio State is probably rel-egated to hoping for theteams in front of it to fall.The Big Ten is not affordingthe Buckeyes many opportu-nities for resume-boostingvictories.

Stanford was sixth and Mi-ami seventh. Unbeaten Bay-lor starts the BCS raceeighth.

Only twice since the BCSstarted in 1998 have the toptwo teams in the first stand-ings played in the title game.

The BCS is in its final sea-son. It will be replaced by afour-team playoff next sea-son.

Niners rout TitansNASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP)

— The San Francisco 49ersknow how to start a verylong road trip in winningstyle.

Colin Kaepernick threwfor 199 yards and ran for 68and a touchdown, helpingthe 49ers start a two-gameroad swing by beating theTennessee Titans 31-17 Sun-day.

The 49ers (5-2) won theirfourth straight before head-ing to London for a gamewith winless Jacksonville by

jumping to a 17-0 halftimelead. Frank Gore also ran fora pair of 1-yard TDs as SanFrancisco cruised.

“This was a big game, andwe were treating it like thebiggest game of the season,”49ers coach Jim Harbaughsaid. “It was our next game.This was Game 7 for us, andwe were treating it likeGame 7 for us, and we weretreating it like Game 7 of theWorld Series or Game 7 ofthe Stanley Cup. Now thenext game will be Game 8.”

IINDIANAPOLIS (AP) —It was just Peyton Manning’sluck.

On his first trip back toLucas Oil Stadium, he andhis teammates had an offnight. His successor and hisold team, they got it right.

Andrew Luck threw threetouchdown passes and ranfor another score Sundaynight, handing Denver a 39-33 loss — its first of the sea-son — without even needingone of Luck’s trademarkfourth-quarter comebacks.

“It’s not real fun watchinghim,” Luck said of Manning.“But he is something towatch.”

Heading into the game,Manning and Denver (6-1)looked virtually unbeatable.The Broncos were scoringpoints by the dozens in themidst of a 17-game regular-season winning streak andshowed no signs of even hit-ting a speed bump.

Then came what was sup-posed to be Manning’s happyhomecoming. Nothing wentright and now the KansasCity Chiefs are the NFL’slone unbeaten team.

He lost a fumble, threw aninterception and was sackedfour times — twice by RobertMathis, one of the few re-maining holdovers from the

Manning era.Broncos kick returner

Trindon Holliday fumbledtwice, losing one that led to aColts touchdown.

Denver’s defense commit-ted inexplicable penaltiesthroughout the second half,giving the Colts more oppor-tunities than they needed,and the Broncos’ last goodchance fizzled when Denverrunning back Ronnie Hill-man lost a fumble inside theColts 5-yard line with 3:03left in the game.

With Luck and the Coltsrepeatedly taking advantage,even Manning couldn’t res-cue the Broncos.

While Manning finishedwith solid numbers, 29 of 49for 386 yards with three TDpasses, he certainly wasn’thimself. Passes fluttered,passes sailed, passes werebroken up.

Luck was 21 of 38 for 228yards with three scores andno turnovers in ending Den-ver’s pursuit of perfection.Indianapolis (5-2) extendedits lead in the AFC South andstill hasn’t lost consecutivegames since Luck arrived inthe NFL last year.

“This is a game we need tolearn from. We, I guess, hadfour turnovers and stillsomehow had a chance to winthat game,” Manning said. “Iwould have liked to haveseen it go to a two-pointgame down there toward theend and see what would havehappened, but it never quitegot to that point. You can goback to different parts of thegame and we got behind,mistakes there, but we stillhad a chance there at theend. We certainly have to im-prove from this game be-cause we weren’t as sharp ex-ecution-wise as we’d like tobe.”

Admittedly, this was notypical night for Manning.

The weekend’s marqueematchup was the NFL’s mostanticipated homecomingsince Brett Favre went backto Green Bay — with thedreaded Minnesota Vikings— in 2009.

Indy’s former franchisequarterback dealt with ques-tions all week about ownerJim Irsay’s most recent com-ments expressing disappoint-ment with winning just oneSuper Bowl title during theManning years, then arrivedto find out the roof and win-dow at Lucas Oil Stadiumwould be open on a chillynight inside the house hehelped build.

And when he first ran ontothe field, some sections in thelower bowl looked like acheckerboard of Colts blueand Broncos orange. Theyroared for No. 18 throughouta 90-second video tribute fea-turing some of his mostmemorable moments withthe Colts including therecord-breaking pass to Mar-vin Harrison for most TDs bya quarterback-receiver duo,

the AFC championship come-back against New Englandand, of course, the eveningwhen he finally hoisted theLombardi Trophy in rainyMiami.

Manning responded to thestanding ovation by stoppinghis warm-up throws, takingoff his helmet, waving to thefans and mouthing the words“Thank you.”

The large video screenthen cut to a fan holding asign that that read “ThanksPeyton But Tonight I’m AColts Fan.”

Afterward, he acknowl-edged it was an emotionalgame.

But the Broncos were deal-ing with far bigger issues onthe field.

After Holliday fumbled,Luck hooked up with DarriusHeyward-Bey on the nextplay to give Indy a 10-7 lead.

Mathis’ second-quarterstrip sack forced a safety andLuck found Stanley Havilifor a 20-yard TD pass afterthe free kick to make it 19-14. Indy never trailed again.

“That’s my job, that’s how Ihelp my team,” Mathis said.“It felt good.”

The Colts extended thelead to 26-14 at halftime and33-14 in the third quarterwhen Luck scrambled for a10-yard TD during a drive onwhich four flags came out onDenver defenders.

Then Manning rallied theBroncos, throwing a 31-yardTD pass to DemaryiusThomas early in the fourthand handing off to KnowshonMoreno for a 1-yard TD runto make it 36-30 with 8:44left in the game.

Denver forced a punt, giv-ing Manning another chanceas the stadium noise sub-sided. But on the first play,Erik Walden hit Manning’sarm and Pat Angerer picked

it off to set up AdamVinatieri’s 42-yard field goal.

“Hopefully we’ll have achance to play these guysagain because that wouldmean we made the playoffs,”Manning said. “I think ifthere is a next time it may bea little bit easier just becauseit was somewhat of an emo-tional week and it can be alittle bit draining, I will saythat.”

NOTES: The game couldprove costly for both teams.Denver cornerback ChampBailey left in the secondquarter with a left foot in-jury, the same foot that kepthim out of the first fivegames this season. Indy lostPro Bowl receiver ReggieWayne in the fourth quarterwith what team officialscalled a sprained right knee.Wayne is expected to have anMRI on Monday. ... Colts cor-nerback Vontae Davis mis-takenly referred to Manningas Tom Brady during apostgame interview on NBC.... Denver rushed 20 timesfor 64 yards.

Indy capitalizes on Denver miscues for 39-33 win

Folk’s 42-yard FG leadsJets past Pats 30-27 in OT

EAST RUTHERFORD,N.J. (AP) — Rex Ryan wasfired up. Bill Belichick wasticked off.

Everyone else was, well, abit confused.

After a newly institutedrule gave New England apenalty and Nick Folk anoth-er chance, he booted a 42-yard field goal with 5:07 leftin overtime to give the NewYork Jets a 30-27 victory overthe Patriots on Sunday.

“I was like, ‘You knowwhat? It’s about time we gota break,’” Ryan said, smiling.“That’s really what I wasthinking. It just worked out.”

Folk was wide left on a 56-yarder, but the miss wasnegated when New Eng-land’s Chris Jones was calledfor unsportsmanlike conducton a 15-yard penalty thathad never before been calledin an NFL game.

Referee Jerome Boger ex-plained in a pool report thatJones was called for pushinghis teammate “into the oppo-nents’ formation.” UmpireTony Michalek threw his flag“almost instantaneously ashe observed the action,”Boger said. “We just enforcedit as he called it.”

Belichick disagreed withthe application of the rule.

“You can’t push in the sec-ond level,” Belichick said. “Ididn’t think we did that.”

New York (4-3), given newlife, ran the ball three timesto set up Folk’s winner andsend the green towel-wavingfans at MetLife Stadium intoa frenzy.

“It was something that wetalked about probably incamp and stuff, and it justskipped out of my mind,”Jones said. “It was my mis-take and nobody else’s. I’vejust got to man up to it andfix it next time.”

Folk thought the Patriots(5-2) might have been calledfor 12 men on the field. Sodid a few other Jets.

“I think I heard the wholestadium saying, ‘Please be onthem,’” Ryan said.

Then folk won it.“Folk Hero was the man he

always is, kicking game-win-ner for us,” Jets defensive

lineman Muhammad Wilker-son said. “It was a great winacross the board.”

It also kept Folk’s consecu-tive kicks streak intact, giv-ing him 16 straight to startthe season.

“Yeah, we’re not going totalk about that right now,” hesaid, smiling.

Geno Smith threw a touch-down pass to Jeremy Kerleyand ran for another as theJets topped Tom Brady andthe Patriots, who tied it at 27with 16 seconds left in regu-lation on Stephen Gostkows-ki’s 44-yard field goal.

New England had defeatedNew York in six straight reg-ular-season meetings, andsaw its 12-game winningstreak against AFC East op-ponents end.

“Everyone has to look atthemselves and do a betterjob,” Brady said, “becausewhat we’re doing now isn’tgood enough.”

Brady opened overtimewith a 16-yard pass to RobGronkowski, making his sea-son debut. But the Jetsstopped forced New Englandto punt.

Gronkowski almost made aone-handed grab late in reg-ulation when he had a clearlane into the end zone.Gronkowski, who missed thefirst six games after havingoffseason surgery on his backand broken left forearm, hadeight catches for 114 yards.

“I’m still mad about thatone,” Gronkowski said.

Brady threw a 17-yard TDpass to Kenbrell Thompkinswith 5 seconds left to beatpreviously unbeaten New Or-leans last week — leavingdefensive coordinator RobRyan grimacing on the side-line. This time, Rob’s twinbrother walked off the fieldcelebrating a win.

It was the second time inthree games Brady was heldwithout a touchdown pass,both losses. Brady finished22 of 46 for 228 yards andhad an interception returned23 yards for a touchdown byAntonio Allen.

“That was huge,” Smithsaid.

Smith, who threw three

fourth-quarter interceptionsin a Week 2 loss at New Eng-land, was 17 of 33 for 233yards. He had a first-quarterinterception returned 79yards for a touchdown byrookie Logan Ryan that ap-peared to set the tone for anominous afternoon for Smith.

Smith rebounded and gavethe Jets a 24-21 lead in thethird quarter on an 8-yardrun that left the crowdchanting “GEE-NO! GEE-NO!”

“I’m never going to crum-ble,” Smith said. “No matterwhat happens. You know,that’s just not in me.”

On third-and-14 from the24, Smith took off left andwas met by Marquice Cole,who slammed into the quar-terback. But Smith reachedout as he was going downand got the first down.

He again had all receiverstied up two plays later whenhe sprinted to his right,faked out Cole with a niceshake move and dived intothe corner of the end zone.

The Jets, in a 21-10 hole,opened the second half by im-mediately putting pressureon Brady and getting a scoreout of it. Brady threw forGronkowski and Allenstepped in front. He did adiving somersault into theend zone just 33 seconds intothe third quarter.

Stevan Ridley had giventhe Patriots a 21-10 leadwith a 17-yard run on whichhe bounced outside righttackle and scored untouched.The drive was set up by a 38-yard punt return by JulianEdelman.

NOTES: Brandon Boldenhad a 1-yard TD run for thePatriots. ... Kerley caughteight passes, six of them forfirst downs on third-downplays. ... Chris Jones andChandler Jones each had twosacks for the Patriots. ... Lo-gan Ryan’s INT marked the34th straight game in whichNew England has forced aturnover, the longest activestreak in the NFL.

Chiefs hold on to beat TexansKANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP)

— The Kansas City Chiefshad their backs to the endzone in the third quarter onSunday, and the HoustonTexans had first-and-goalwith an opportunity to takethe lead.

Three straight plays wentnowhere and the Texans hadto settle for a field goal.

It was a virtuoso displayby the NFL’s stingiest de-fense, and a signature standin a stellar second half.

The Chiefs kept repellingthe Houston offense the restof the way, and the resultwas a 17-16 victory to ex-tend their perfect start.

“You know as well as I doyou win with great defenses.That’s how it rolls,” Chiefscoach Andy Reid said. “Youcan’t be successful like weare without a great defense.”

Nor can you be successfulwithout a guy like JamaalCharles, who ran for 86yards and a touchdown, orquarterback Alex Smith,who also had a touchdownscamper.

“It was a physical game,”Charles said, “the kind of a

game this team needs to gofar.”

The game was still indoubt even after the Chiefs’goal-line stand. They had topunt with 1:46 left, but theTexans had no timeouts.Case Keenum threw an in-completion on first down,and then was stripped bylinebacker Tamba Hali onthe ensuing play.

Derrick Johnson recov-ered the ball for the Chiefs,and Smith simply kneeledon it from there to run timeout. The result was a 7-0start for Kansas City, trail-ing only the 9-0 mark put upby the 2003 team for thebest in franchise history.

In the Super Bowl era, 31teams have started 7-0 andall qualified for the playoffs.Fifteen of those 31 clubs ad-vanced to the Super Bowland nine have won it.

“It’s confidence,” saidHali, who was part of theChiefs’ two-win team lastseason. “Guys believe inwhat we’re doing. They be-lieve in one another, andthat goes a long way.”

Keenum, making his first

NFL start in place of the in-jured Matt Schaub, threwfor 271 yards and a touch-down for the Texans.

His performance was over-shadowed by a pair of crush-ing injuries: Running backArian Foster left in the firstquarter with a hamstring in-jury and did not return, andlinebacker Brian Cushingwas carted off with a leftknee injury in the secondhalf.

“It was very detrimentalto us,” said Texans coachGary Kubiak, whose banged-up team is riding its firstfive-game skid since Nov. 6-Dec. 11, 2005.

“When they can pin theirears back, they’re very, verydifficult,” Kubiak said.“They came and got us pret-ty good there late in thegame.”

The Texans moved the ballwell early on, taking thelead on Randy Bullock’s 48-yard field goal. But the scor-ing drive proved costly whenFoster left for the lockerroom, and then emerged ashort while later in a graysweatsuit.

Language exercises helpstroke patients regain speech

DEAR DOCTOR K: Mymother recently had a stroke,and it’s severely impacted herability to speak. What can bedone to help her regain herspeech?

DEAR READER: Losingthe ability to speak, or tounderstand speech, takesaway an important part ofourselves — the ability tocommunicate easily with oth-ers. I would rather be blind ordeaf than unable to speak orto understand others. Butthere is hope that your moth-er can improve.

A stroke occurs when ablood vessel supplying thebrain bursts or becomesblocked. In both cases, theinjury deprives the brain of aconstant supply of oxygen-and nutrient-rich blood. Brain

cells can die, possibly affect-ing a person’s ability to move,feel, think or even recognizepeople. In your mother’s case,it has taken her ability tospeak.

Your mother should begin arehabilitation program with aspeech-language pathologistas soon as she is able. Thistherapist will help your moth-er improve her capacity tospeak and understand speech.

The two most commonstroke-related speech impair-ments are aphasia anddysarthria.

Aphasia is the loss of thepower to use or understandwords. In most people, itoccurs when a stroke damagesthe left side of the brain,which is where language isprocessed. Some people withaphasia have trouble talkingbut can easily understand

speech. Others talk easily butcan’t understand what peopleare saying.

Rehab for someone withaphasia involves speech andlanguage exercises that helpthe patient regain the abilityto understand, speak, readand write. Exercises includerepeating words a therapistsays, practicing followingdirections, and practicingreading and writing. Grouptherapy sessions provideopportunities to practice talk-ing with others who are recov-ering from strokes. A thera-pist may also recommend avoice-output, or speech-gener-ating, device to aid communi-cation in daily life.

Dysarthria is the inabilityto speak because the strokehas weakened the muscles ofthe tongue, palate and lips —the parts of the mouth that

utter words. With dysarthria,a person can understandspeech and form proper wordsin his mind, but just cannotget the words out of hismouth. Persons withdysarthria often can writetheir thoughts down perfectlywell even though they cannotspeak them out loud.

A person with dysarthriacan do exercises to helpincrease strength andendurance in the musclesused for speech. The therapistalso helps to improve enuncia-tion. He or she might recom-mend speaking more slowly ortaking deeper breaths beforespeaking.

A patient of mine in hisearly 70s ran a small Italianrestaurant. During the holi-days, 40 to 50 of his closestfamily members would con-gregate at his house. He and

his wife cooked. He lovedthese family reunions eventhough they required lots ofwork. “That’s what makes ourfamily so close: food and con-versation.” He suffered astroke that caused dysarthria.At the family gatherings, heinstalled a blackboard on aneasel and “spoke” by writingcomments on the blackboard.Despite his stroke, he keptthe family conversation going.

W A S H I N G T O N(AP) — When CarolBurnett launched hernamesake varietyshow in the 1960s,one TV executive toldher the genre was “aman’s game.” Sheproved him wrongwith an 11-year runthat averaged 30 mil-lion viewers eachweek.

On Sunday, thetrailblazing comedi-enne received thenation’s top humorprize at the KennedyCenter for the Per-forming Arts. Topentertainers includ-ing Julie Andrews,Tony Bennett, TinaFey, Amy Poehler andothers performed inBurnett’s honor asshe received the MarkTwain Prize for Amer-ican Humor.

The show will betaped and broadcastNov. 24 on PBS sta-tions.

“This is veryencouraging,” Burnettdeadpanned inaccepting the prize. “Imean it was a longtime in coming, but Iunderstand becausethere are so manypeople funnier than Iam, especially here inWashington.

“With any luck,they’ll soon get votedout, and I’ll still havethe Mark Twainprize.”

Fey opened theshow with some jokesabout the recent gov-ernment shutdownand about fears over“Obamacare.”

“Enough politics.We are here tonightto celebrate the firstlady of American com-edy, Ted Cruz,” Feysaid, referring to theTexas senator whotook a prominent roleduring the shutdown.

Fey quickly turnedto showering Burnettwith accolades foropening doors forother women comedi-ans.

“You mean so muchto me,” Fey said. “Ilove you in a way thatis just shy of creepy.”

In an interview,Burnett said she wasdrawn to comedyafter realizing how itfelt to make peoplelaugh. She went toUCLA with plans tobecome a journalist,but she took an actingcourse that put her onstage.

“I played a hillbillywoman, and comingfrom Texas ... it wasreal easy for me,” shesaid. “I just made myentrance, and I said,‘I’m Baaack.’ Thenthey exploded.”

“I thought whoa!This feels good,” Bur-nett said. “I wantedthose laughs to keepon coming forever.”

Few women weredoing comedy whenBurnett set her sightson New York. Shecaught a break whenshe was spotted bytalent bookers fromTV’s “The Ed SullivanShow” and was invit-ed to perform her ren-dition of “I Made aFool of Myself overJohn Foster Dulles.”

Almost immediate-ly, Burnett trans-formed Dulles, theformer secretary ofstate, “from a Presby-terian bureaucratinto a smoking hotsex symbol,” saidCappy McGarr, theco-creator of the MarkTwain Prize. “She

sang that she was‘simply on fire withdesire’ and that wasreally her big break.”

Soon after, Burnettlanded a role inBroadway’s “OnceUpon a Mattress,”and began appearingon morning TV’s “TheGarry Moore Show.”She never thoughtshe could host herown show, though.

“I was more of asecond banana,” shesaid. But she lovedplaying a variety ofcharacters.

CBS signed her to a10-year contractdoing guest shots onsitcoms and perform-ing in one TV speciala year, but the dealalso allowed her theoption of creating herown variety show andguaranteed her air-time. But five yearsin, CBS executiveshad forgotten aboutthe idea.

She recalled oneexecutive telling her:“You know, variety isa man’s game.”

“At that time, Iunderstood what hewas saying, and I wasnever one to getangry,” Burnett said.“I said ‘well this iswhat I know, and thisis what I want to do.’”

The show ran from1967 to 1978 andincluded guest starssuch as Lucille Ball,Jimmy Stewart,Ronald Reagan andBetty White.

Tim Conway, one ofBurnett’s co-stars onher show, joked thathe now spends histime traveling aroundthe country for Bur-nett to receiveawards.

“Thank you forbeing such a friend,”he said, “such a gen-erous person, notwith salary, but gen-erous.”

Comedian MartinShort also joined thetribute to Burnett.

“What is it aboutredheads on televi-sion that make uslaugh so much? Carol,Lucille Ball, DonaldTrump,” he said.

Burnett said it’s athrill to receive theaward named forhumorist and satiristMark Twain and thatshe’s in good companywith past honorees,who include Fey, BillCosby, Steve Martin,Lily Tomlin and EllenDeGeneres.

Coming on theheels of the govern-ment shutdown,McGarr said it’s niceto bring an “inten-tionally funnymoment” to Washing-ton after weeks ofpolitical drama.

“You know, serioustimes call for serious-ly funny people,”McGarr said.

Burnett made aspecial request thatrising comedienneRosemary Watson,who does impressionsof Hillary Clinton andothers, be part of theshow. Burnett foundWatson on YouTubeafter receiving a fanletter and thoughtshe was funny.

“The thing is, youpay it forward,” Bur-nett said, “becausewhen I got started,somebody gave me abreak when I was 21years old, and I want-ed to go to New York.”

Before the show,Watson said thatwatching Burnett

shaped her life as achild. She said Bur-nett was not a joketeller but createdfunny characters.

“I do what I dobecause of her,” Wat-

son said. “For me, shewas it. She was thefemale comedian Iwanted to be mostlike.”

Vicki Lawrence, aco-star with Burnett

on “The Carol Bur-nett Show,” who isperhaps best knownfor playing “Mama” insketches with Bur-nett, said she wasplanning to be a den-

tal hygienist beforeshe knew Burnett.

“I was going to becleaning teeth some-where,” she said, “andI guess she changedthat.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — Aformer confidential inform-ant working for the UnitedStates in Colombia claims ina lawsuit that the U.S. gov-ernment abandoned herwhen she got into legal trou-ble for her undercover opera-tions, and she wound upspending three years in aColombian jail.

Astrid Hurtado is seeking$15 million in damages.

Hurtado, 52, first workedas an informant for the Inter-nal Revenue Service in 1997-1998, then for the “El DoradoTask Force,” a premier U.S.government unit establishedby the then-U.S. CustomsService to investigate moneylaundering.

Her job was to impersonatea money launderer in Colom-bia and provide informationto the U.S. In return, she re-ceived a percentage of moneyseized by the United States.

Hurtado told The Associat-ed Press in a telephone inter-view that she was paidaround $120,000 for herwork over a roughly 18-month period from 1998 to2000.

According to a 2006 swornstatement by a federal prose-cutor, Hurtado’s work led tothe investigation, trial andguilty pleas of three peopleon drug-money-launderingcharges. Hurtado providedinformation to federal agentsabout drug money in theUnited States and would di-

rect people she had contract-ed with to deliver money toundercover agents, the swornstatement said.

Hurtado, a Colombian citi-zen, is currently living inFlorida, but her visa underthe U.S. Citizenship and Im-migration Services Humani-tarian Parole Program ex-pires Wednesday, accordingto her lawyers, Ignacio J. Al-varez and Piper Hendricks.They said they are takingsteps to request that she canlegally remain in the UnitedStates, and they have filed apetition for asylum.

Hurtado said she’s sureshe would be killed byColombian criminals becauseof her undercover work if shewere to return there.

She said she was arrestedin Colombia in 2003 for themoney-laundering work shehad been doing for the U.S.government. According to herlawsuit, pending in the U.S.Court of Federal Claims, itwasn’t until four months lat-er that the U.S. Embassy inColombia sent a letter to theColombian government con-firming that Hurtado was anactive informant for the mon-ey-laundering investigationsunit. But a Colombian judgeruled the letter was inadmis-sible, according to the law-suit.

Repeated attempts by thejudge and the Colombiangovernment to get a U.S. Em-bassy official to testify at

Hurtado’s trial or answer aquestionnaire were met withsilence, according to the law-suit. Nor did officials in theUnited States respond intime to a separate requestfrom the Colombian judge forinformation about Hurtado’srole as an informant.

In early 2006, she was con-victed of money laundering,sentenced to 7 ½ years inprison and fined the equiva-lent of $1.6 million.

In jail, “I was treated as if Iwas the worst criminal,”Hurtado said in the inter-view with AP, speaking Span-ish as her lawyers translat-ed. “For the first two years, Ihad a jail guard beside meeven to go to the bathroom. Iwas mixed with people who Ihad transmitted informationon, and there was a rumorthey were going to kill an in-formant.”

“I feel very sad, very be-trayed, and I hope I findsome justice,” she said.

In August 2006, after threeyears in behind bars, Hurta-do was released on proba-tion. About a month later,the U.S. government finallyresponded to the judge’s in-quiry with the six-pagesworn statement from a fed-eral prosecutor detailingHurtado’s informant workfor the El Dorado Task Force.The document also includeda copy of a check made out toHurtado from the U.S. Cus-toms Service.

In the lawsuit, Hurtado’slawyers argue that the U.S.breached its duties to Hurta-do by failing to negotiate pro-tection for her with theColombian government.

U.S. government officialsdeclined to discuss the case.

In a court filing, the Jus-tice Department has askedthe federal claims court todismiss the lawsuit, arguingthat Hurtado can’t establishthat any U.S. official withthe “requisite authority” hadcontractually obligated thegovernment to intervene orassist her in litigation. Nei-ther that filing nor a subse-quent one addressed thefacts in Hurtado’s claims.

A former U.S. law enforce-ment official familiar withHurtado’s case said that U.S.officials were prepared to tellthe Colombian governmentthat Hurtado was workingunder the direction of theUnited States and that sheshould be released. But Hur-tado’s family refused that of-fer, fearful about the impactof outing her as an inform-ant, said the official, wholacked authorization to dis-cuss the case and spoke oncondition of anonymity.

Hurtado denied that. Shesaid that before working forthe U.S., she would purchaseAmerican dollars at a re-duced rate, then sell them to

businesspeople and receive acommission. She said theUnited States then ap-proached her to work under-cover.

According to an Interna-tional Narcotics ControlStrategy Report issued bythe State Department thisyear, money laundering fromColombia’s cocaine and hero-in trade “continues to pene-trate its economy and affectits financial institutions.” Itsays laundered money inColombia is derived from ac-tivities such as commercialsmuggling for tax and importduty evasion, kidnapping,arms trafficking and terror-ism.

Police pledge more arrests in escaped inmate casePANAMA CITY BEACH,

Fla. (AP) — Investigatorsworked to fulfill their pledgeto find and arrest the peoplewho helped two Florida in-mates escape from prison us-ing forged documents.

The two convicted killerswere back in custody and be-ing grilled by authorities af-ter they were captured with-out incident over the week-end at a motel in PanamaCity. Meanwhile, correctionsofficials were planning tohold meetings with courtclerks to discuss how to pre-vent other inmates from us-ing fake papers to escape.

The investigation of the es-cape by Joseph Jenkins andCharles Walker is now focus-ing on who forged the papersfor them, who helped themen elude police after thetrickery was discovered andwho was coming to pick themup at the hotel in PanamaCity.

“I can tell you, there will bemore arrests,” Florida De-partment of Law Enforce-ment Commissioner Gerald

Bailey said at a news confer-ence Sunday.

“We will be backtracking tothose who helped carry outthis fraud and along the waywe will be looking closely atanyone who may have helpedharbor these fugitives,” Bai-ley said.

Jenkins and Walker, both34, were captured Saturdaynight at the Coconut GroveMotor Inn in Panama CityBeach, a touristy area ofputt-putt courses and go-karttracks.

The men, who had fled theOrlando area after word oftheir ruse became public, didnot know law enforcementwas on the way to PanamaCity. They were waiting inthe motel for someone to ar-rive from Atlanta to takethem out of state, Baileysaid, adding that authoritiesdon’t yet know who that per-son was or where the con-victs planned to go. Floridainvestigators are workingwith their counterparts inGeorgia.

“They had to have had help

— a lot of help — to get towhere they were last night,”Bailey said. He said the menwere unarmed and didn’thave much money.

Bailey’s department is pur-suing a tip that someone wasoffering to forge documentsfor prisoners for $8,000. Hesaid there are at least twoother recent cases whereprisoners were thwarted try-ing to use fake documents toescape.

“The documents them-selves looked good, theylooked official,” Bailey said,although they contained thesignatures of people who nor-mally don’t deal with releasedocuments, something thatmaybe should have raisedquestions, he said.

Meanwhile, CorrectionsSecretary Michael Crewsscheduled a meeting withcourt clerks on Monday tofind ways to prevent futureescapes through bogus docu-ments.

“It is embarrassing, but myconcentration at this point ismaking sure that we come up

with a process and a proce-dure that prohibits this fromhappening in the future,”Crews told a news confer-ence.

Crews has already orderedhis department to begin veri-fying the legitimacy of early-release orders with a judge,not just court clerks. He saidhis department receives afew thousand such orderseach year, although he ac-knowledged that reducedsentences in murder casesare rare.

He also expressed reliefthat the men were captured.

“I did a lot of praying forthe last five or six days,” hesaid. “To say we’re thankful Ithink is probably an under-statement. These were twohardened, convicted felonsand the thought of them be-ing out there in our statecaused me great concern.”

The two prisoners had notbeen traveling together, buthooked up once word of theforgeries became public andtraveled from Orlando toPanama City, said Frank

Chiumento (Sha MENTO),chief of the U.S. MarshalsService for Florida and theCaribbean.

Chiumento told The Asso-ciated Press on Sunday thatJenkins and Walker knewtheir time on the run waslimited once their ruse hadbeen uncovered. They wereunder surveillance for abouttwo and a half days, and themen were surprised whenauthorities finally knockedon their motel door.

Jenkins and Walker wereboth serving life sentences atthe Franklin CorrectionalFacility in the Panhandle be-fore they walked free withoutanyone realizing the paper-work, complete with casenumbers and a judge’s forgedsignature, was bogus. Thedocuments seemingly re-duced their life sentences to15 years.

Jenkins was released firston Sept. 27 and registeredhimself as a felon Sept. 30 inan Orlando jail. Walker wasreleased Oct. 8 and also reg-istered himself with authori-

ties three days later.Family members said they

thought the releases were le-gitimate and that the con-victs even spent time withtheir relatives before theydisappeared. Hours beforethe capture, the inmates’families had held a news con-ference in Orlando — 350miles away — urging them tosurrender.

Jenkins had been lockedup since the 1998 killing andbotched robbery of RoscoePugh, an Orlando man. Itwasn’t until Tuesday, whenone of Pugh’s relatives con-tacted the state attorney’s of-fice to let them know Jenkinshad been let out, that author-ities knew of the escape.

Prosecutors reviewedJenkins’ case file and quicklydiscovered the forged paper-work, including motions fromprosecutors to correct “ille-gal” sentences, accompaniedby orders allegedly filed byJudge Belvin Perry withinthe last couple of months.The orders granted a 15-yearsentence.

Charting 5 centuries ofAfrican American history

NEW YORK (AP) — Slaveryin the United States was oncea roaring success whosewounds still afflict the countrytoday.

So says Henry Louis Gates,Jr., who examines both its suc-cess and shame in “TheAfrican Americans: ManyRivers to Cross,” his new PBSdocumentary series thattraces 500 years of black histo-ry.

“Slavery is a perfect exam-ple of why we need limits onthe more unfortunate aspectsof human nature,” he says.“Slavery was capitalism goneberserk.”

The horrifically profitablepractice of slavery and thebrutal inhumanity of JimCrow loom large in “TheAfrican Americans” (premier-ing Tuesday at 8 p.m. EDT;check local listings), which,through its six hours, per-forms a neat trick: Its reachextends far beyond Americanshores, venturing through theCaribbean region and all theway to Africa, while deftly fold-ing this sprawl of black historyinto the larger American storythat, too often, has kept therole of black America shuntedto the margins.

Slavery — “the supremehypocrisy” — was always anessential ingredient of theAmerican experiment. WhiteAmerica always drew heavilyon the labor, culture and tradi-tions of blacks while denyingthem due credit in exchange,not to mention their humanrights.

The father of our countrywas one of its largest slaveowners, even as one of hisslaves, Harry Washington, un-derstandably fled to join aBritish regiment and fightagainst the patriots.

“Because of the profounddisconnect between principlesof the Declaration of Indepen-dence and the Constitutionand the simultaneous practiceof slavery, we’ve had historicalamnesia about slavery,” Gateswas saying in a recent inter-view. “We still see the effects,and feel them.”

Even the site for the nation’scapital city — Washington,D.C. — was chosen to accom-modate the mighty bloc ofSouthern slave owners.

And the series also notesthat, among too many othercruel paradoxes, slaves cut thestone and laid the bricks forthe U.S. Capitol.

“The African Americans”doesn’t fall prey to whitescapegoating. For instance,Africans practiced slavery longbefore white Europeanscashed in, and Gates journeysto Sierra Leone, where he vis-its with Africans whose fore-bears profited from it.

Gates — an author, Har-vard scholar, social critic andfilmmaker — is more interest-ed in recognizing and discover-ing oft-neglected pieces of theAmerican puzzle.

The series starts with whatGates deems a downrightscoop. It turns out the veryfirst African to come to NorthAmerica was a free man ac-companying Spanish explorerswho arrived in Florida in1513. This was more than acentury before the first 20African slaves were brought tothe British colony ofJamestown by pirates whotraded them for food.

Thus does his series roll theclock back 106 years to a large-ly unknown starting point inAfrican-American history.

From there, it covers slav-ery, the Civil War, the Jim

Crow era and the rise of civilrights. It concludes on a highnote, exactly 500 years fromwhere it began, with the sec-ond inauguration of BarackObama, the nation’s first blackpresident.

Even so, Gates says he did-n’t want to sound a false noteof triumph: “By nature, I’m anoptimist, but we end the serieswith the message, ‘This is thebest of times, the worst oftimes.’”

Worst? He points out manydismaying facts. A dispropor-tionate number of black menare imprisoned today. A hugepercentage of black childrenare born out of wedlock to sin-gle mothers.

And it’s no secret that, whilea winning number of Ameri-cans cheered on Obama, manyothers disdain the idea of ablack man in the White House,a mindset Gates sees as yetanother legacy of slavery andthe racism it perpetuated.

One possible solution — andone mission for his series — isto bring the big picture to thenation’s schools, where Gateshopes to place “The AfricanAmericans” as part of a per-manent curriculum.

“If we start with first grade,in 12 years we’ll have thewhole school re-educatedabout the real nature of Amer-ican history,” he says. “The se-ries is designed to inspireblack people about the nobilityof our tradition in this country,and to inspire ALL peopleabout the nobility of thatstruggle.

“If we confront the excessesand sins of the past,” he says,“it will help us understandwhere we are today.”
