Group advocates patience in wake of shootingsBy RICK NORTONAssociate Editor

Police-involved shootings inTulsa, Okla., and Charlotte, N.C.,that left two men dead have prompt-ed another plea by 100 Black Men ofBradley County Inc. for local resi-dents and law enforcement agenciesto continue to work together to keepsimilar violence out of this commu-nity.

Although the respected, 22-year-old civic organization pledged itsongoing support for “the men andwomen in blue,” 100 Black MenPresident Jonathan Porter con-firmed he has been in contact withthe Cleveland Police Departmentand Bradley County Sheriff’s Officeto assure maximum training isbeing made available to local offi-cers.

Likewise, he repeated an earlier

appeal for area residents to followinstructions closely if approachedby a law enforcement officer.

“‘The 100’ has been in contactwith our Cleveland PoliceDepartment and our Sheriff’s Officeto let them know we are behindthem, but we encourage them toconvey to their officers to use cau-tion, as well as the best judgmentpossible, when on a call in order tode-escalate a situation before

another senseless shooting occurs,”Porter told the Cleveland DailyBanner.

He added, “Our stance is that alllocal law enforcement trainingshould be top-notch and should besome of the best around; and, wewant to make sure we have qualifiedpolice officers protecting us daily.”

While supportive of local lawenforcement, Porter’s statement —on behalf of “The 100” organization

— also showed frustration at theescalating wave of violence betweenlaw enforcement officers andAfrican-American men across thecountry.

“It’s difficult to stand by and saynothing about these senselessshootings of innocent victims thathave occurred recently across theUnited States by our men and

Jobless rateunchanged;4.7 percentfor August

By RICK NORTONAssociate Editor

Sir Isaac Newton is credited withthe scientific theory and Blood,Sweat & Tears gave it a rhymethree centuries later; that is,“What goes up, must come down.”

But neither counted on thingsgoing flat.

So the Tennessee Department ofLabor and Workforce Developmenttook up the cause Thursday whenit reported that Bradley County’sunemployment rate for Augusthad neither gone up nor down: Itstayed the same.

At 4.7 percent, Bradley main-tained the same jobless mark fromJuly, but in so doing claimed the19th lowest unemployment figureamong Tennessee’s 95 counties.

Anchored by the return of non-teaching personnel to their schoolsystem jobs after a summer break,the mark also saw a slight uptickin construction. However, offset-ting the gains were hiring drops inmanufacturing, financial activities(banking and real estate) andtourism, the last of which wasexpected once the kids werewhisked back to school and vaca-tion travel slowed to a crawl.

Larry Green, labor market ana-lyst who monitors the employmentpicture in much of SoutheastTennessee — including BradleyCounty — said although the job-less rate just stayed the same, italso didn’t go up.

“And that’s always a goodthing,” he told the Cleveland DailyBanner.

Besides, even at 4.7 ... again ...the rate is far superior to this timelast year. In August 2015,Bradley’s unemployment rate tal-lied 5.5.

“On a year-to-year basis,Bradley County continues to look

By LARRY C. BOWERSBanner Staff Writer

Cleveland Utilities managers,and now its board of directors, areelated by the results of a recentTennessee Division of WaterSupply drop-in inspection andsurvey of the Cleveland facility.

Cleveland Utilities received 599out of a possible 599 points for a100 percent rating of the utility’swater supply system for the pastyear.

Craig Mullinax, vice president ofthe CU WaterDivision, saidhe reviewed hisrecords andfound the utilityhad receivedsome 99 scoressince 1988, buthad neverreceived a 100.

“I’m extreme-ly pleased withall our staff,and I’m verypleased withour scores,”Mullinax said.

Aubrey Ector,chairman of theboard, added,“We pass alongour thanks toall the peopleinvolved (in thise x c e p t i o n a la c c o m p l i s h -ment).”

The randomstate surveywas conductedin August whentwo TDECinspectors eval-uated theCleveland watersystem.

Mullinax saidthe process is known as a sanitarysurvey, which is an outside evalu-ation and documentation of awater system’s capabilities, opera-tions, sources, facilities, treatmentprocesses, equipment, distributionnetwork, monitoring, reportingand data verification, pump facili-ties, and controls and overall man-agement needed to continuallyprovide safe drinking water.

He said the survey will alsodetect any deficiencies that mightaffect the provision of drinkingwater for the community.

Mullinax added that the surveyprovides the opportunity forinspectors to establish a field pres-ence with the owners and opera-tors of water systems in order toeducate them about proper moni-toring and sampling procedures,provide technical assistance, andinform them of any upcomingchanges in regulations.

The utility’s rating is determinedby a point system, with 599 pointsearning a perfect score.

A roasted mayor

By ALLEN MINCEYBanner Staff Writer

Jokes were directed at Cleveland MayorTom Rowland at a roast in his honor hostedby Cleveland State Community College.

The main purpose of Thursday evening’sroast, however, was not to zing the mayor, butto raise money for the CSCC Annual Fund.College President Dr. Bill Seymour said at theconclusion of the evening that over $15,000was raised at the event.

While that was the main reason for theroast, it also gave friends and associates ofthe mayor the chance to hurl zingers his way.Roasters included Seymour, Larry Wallace,state Rep. Kevin Brooks, Tim Poteet, DaleHughes, Brian Graves (via a prerecorded

video) and Janice Casteel. Steve Hartlineserved as master of ceremonies, and surpriseroaster Sandra Rowland had the opportunityto tell some true stories on her husband.

Wallace, who has known Rowland for over50 years, called him “Tommy” throughout hisroasting of the mayor. He also mentionedRowland’s penchant for wearing tight jeans,and showed a photograph of the mayor in hisjeans.

Brooks, who also participated in the firstCSCC roast last year of Jim Cigliano, saidthat while he wears Hardwick clothes,Rowland is old enough to have known Mr.Hardwick. He also called Rowland “Dad” as aterm of endearment.

The River Maze is located onU.S. Highway 64, betweenHighway 411 and the dam atParksville Lake.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) —Yahoo has been struggling foryears to keep people comingback to its digital services suchas email. That challenge just gotmore daunting after hackersstole sensitive information fromat least 500 million accounts.

The startling breach disclosedThursday is believed to be thelargest to hit a single emailprovider. The security break-down risks magnifying Yahoo’spreexisting problems — specifi-cally, that it is losing users, traf-fic and the advertising revenuethat follows both, to rivals suchas Google and Facebook.

Some snarky online commen-tators quipped that the hackwould have been far more devas-tating if people actually still usedthe company’s services. Whilethere’s some truth to that obser-vation, millions around theworld still rely on Yahoo mailand other services, and are nowpotentially at risk of identitytheft or worse.

LOSING USERS

And if these people give up onYahoo as a result, the conse-quences for the company itself —now scheduled to become part ofVerizon as soon as its $4.8 bil-lion deal closes — could also bedire. “Yahoo may very well befacing an existential crisis,” saidCorey Williams, senior directorof products and marketing at thecomputer security firm Centrify.

Yahoo was already facing asteep decline in email traffic,despite CEO Marissa Mayer’sefforts to upgrade the service inorder to foster more user loyalty.In July, 161 million peopleworldwide used Yahoo email onpersonal computers, a 30 per-cent decline from the same timein 2014, when the breach firstoccurred. That’s according to thelatest data from the researchfirm comScore. By contrast,Google’s rival Gmail service sawdesktop users rise 9 percent tonearly 429 million over the sameperiod.

The email breach raises ques-tions about Yahoo’s ability tomaintain secure and effectiveservices, particularly since it’sbeen laying off staff and trim-ming expenses to counter asteep drop in revenue over thepast eight years.

At the time of the break-in,Yahoo’s security team was led byAlex Stamos, a respected indus-try executive who left last year totake a similar job at Facebook.

ONCE MORE UNTO THE

BREACH

Yahoo didn’t explain what tookso long to uncover a heist that itblamed on a “state-sponsored

actor” — parlance for a hackerworking on behalf of a foreigngovernment.

The Sunnyvale, California,company declined to explain howit reached its conclusions aboutthe attack for security reasons,but said it is working with theFBI and other law enforcement.Yahoo began investigating a pos-sible breach in July, around thetime the tech site Motherboardreported that a hacker who usesthe name “Peace” was trying tosell account information belong-ing to 200 million Yahoo users.

Yahoo didn’t find evidence ofthat reported hack, but addition-al digging later uncovered a farlarger, allegedly state-sponsoredattack.

“We take these types ofbreaches very seriously and willdetermine how this occurred andwho is responsible,” the FBI saidin a Thursday statement.

MOST ACCOUNTS

EVER STOLEN

The Yahoo theft represents themost accounts ever stolen from asingle email provider, accordingto computer security analystAvivah Litan with the technologyresearch firm Gartner Inc.

“It’s a shocking number,”Litan said. “This is a pretty bigdeal that is probably going tocost them tens of millions of dol-lars. Regulators and lawyers aregoing to have a field day withthis one.”

Yahoo says it has more than 1billion monthly users, althoughit hasn’t disclosed how many ofthose people have emailaccounts.

The data stolen from Yahooincludes users’ names, emailaddresses, telephone numbers,birth dates, scrambled pass-words, and the security ques-tions — and answers — used toverify an accountholder’s identi-ty. The company said the attack-er didn’t get any informationabout its users’ bank accountsor credit and debit cards.

Security experts say the Yahootheft could hurt the affectedusers if their personal informa-tion is mined to break into otheronline services or used for iden-tity theft. All affected users willbe notified about the theft andadvised how to protect them-selves, according to the compa-ny.

Yahoo also is recommendingthat all users change their pass-words if they haven’t done sosince 2014. If the same pass-word is used to access othersites, it should be changed too,as should any security questionssimilar to those used on Yahoo.

THE VERIZON IMPACT

News of the security lapsecould cause some people to havesecond thoughts about relyingon Yahoo’s services, raising aprickly issue for the company asit tries to sell its digital opera-tions to Verizon.

That deal, announced twomonths ago, isn’t supposed toclose until early next year. That

leaves Verizon with wiggle roomto renegotiate the purchase priceor even back out if it believes thesecurity breach will harmYahoo’s business. That couldhappen if users shun Yahoo orfile lawsuits because they’reincensed by the theft of theirpersonal information.

Verizon said it still doesn’tknow enough about the Yahoobreak-in to assess the potentialconsequences. “We will evaluateas the investigation continuesthrough the lens of overallVerizon interests, including con-sumers, customers, sharehold-ers and related communities,”the company said in a state-ment.

DELAY OF SALE?

At the very least, Verizon is

going to need more time toassess what it will be getting intoif it proceeds with its plans totake over Yahoo, said ScottVernick, an attorney specializingin data security for the law firmFox Rothschild.

“This is going to slow thingsdown. There is going to be a lotof blood, sweat and tears shedon this” Vernick said. “A buyerneeds to understand the cyber-security strengths and weak-nesses of its target these days.”

BOSTON (AP) — Did notorious gangster Al Capone have asoft spot? An intimate letter he penned from prison suggeststhe ruthless racketeer could handle tenderness almost asskillfully as his Tommy Gun.

The three-page letter — which is being auctioned off nextweek — is addressed to Capone’s son, Albert “Sonny”Capone. The mobster signed it, “Love & Kisses, Your DearDad Alphonse Capone #85,” which was his number at theAlcatraz prison in San Francisco Bay.

“Junior keep up the way you are doing, and don’t let noth-ing get you down. When you get the blues, Sonny, put onone of the records with songs I wrote you about,” Caponewrote.

Later, he added: “Well heart of mine, sure hope thingscome our way for next year, then I’ll be there in your arms.”

“It’s an exceedingly rare personal letter showing the softerside of the notorious gangster,” said Robert Livingston, exec-utive vice president of Boston-based RR Auction, which ishandling Monday’s auction at a hotel in Cambridge,Massachusetts, and expects it to fetch around $50,000.

“You’d think that figures like this would be despised, butinstead, they’re kind of deified in the consciousness of theAmerican public,” he said.

The legendary Brooklyn-born mobster, who ruled ganglandChicago during Prohibition, is best known for his 1929“Valentine’s Day Massacre” of seven members of rival boot-legger Bugs Moran’s gang.

The feds finally caught up with Capone in 1931, when hewas charged with income tax evasion. He was eventuallyconvicted and sentenced to 11 years in prison, much ofwhich he spent at Alcatraz. Capone was finally released a fewyears early in 1938 and returned to his Miami Beach man-sion. Riddled with syphilis, he suffered a stroke and died in1947 at age 48.

Though the letter to his then college-aged son is dated only“Jan 16th,” experts say he likely wrote it in 1938, four yearsafter the man dubbed “Public Enemy No. 1” was transferredto Alcatraz.

In a somewhat surprisingly cheerful tone, his letterdescribes the daily grind in prison, which Capone tried torelieve by playing banjo and mandola, a stringed instrumentsimilar to the mandolin. While at Alcatraz, Capone puttogether an inmate band he dubbed The Rock Islanders.

“Sonny I got a Song like Rainbow on the River, that wassung by Bobby Breen, in the Rainbow on the River picture, Isure hope you seen it as we saw it out here,” he wrote. “...When I come home, I will play not only that song, but about500 more, and all mostly Theme Songs from the best Shows.In other words Junior, there isn’t a Song written that I can’tplay.”

Capone ended the letter encouraging his son to staystrong.

“Well Sonny keep up your chin, and don’t worry aboutyour dear Dad, and when again you allowed a vacation, Iwant you and your dear Mother to come here together, as Isure would love to see you,” he wrote.

FRIDAY

Hints from HeloiseThe River Maze returns for 12th season

Video chatting with your children

Dear Heloise: Here’s anELECTRONIC HINT that I thinkthe younger generation couldbenefit from and the older gener-ation should get better at. I’velearned to video chat with mychildren, and while it’s a greatway to talk to them when theylive out of state, it’s also a handytool for “on the spot” teaching.

My daughter had a laundry-setting question, and after show-ing me her settings with hercomputer, I was able to guide herthrough the proper proceduresneeded to wash the garments inquestion.

Another time, she wanted tomake Spanish rice, and brown-ing the rice correctly is the key.Because of video chatting, I wasable to be in her kitchen andhelp her with the process.

If I can’t be with her, this isthe next best thing! — Lila G. inWisconsin

Makeup removal sheetsDear Heloise: Many hotels

offer a package of pre-moistenedmakeup-remover sheets amongthe toiletries in each room. SinceI bring my own makeup remover,I use the sheets to clean andrefresh my feet at night after aday in flip-flops or sandals. Itboth cleans and moisturizes, andallows me to save the few wash-cloths provided for showering thenext morning. — Marla E.,Galloway, Ohio

Protecting pots and pansDear Heloise: Here’s a week-

end project that’s great for pro-tecting pots and pans:

Take one cupboard andremove the middle shelf. Hang arod down 2 inches with a series oflarge shower-curtain hooks on

the rod. Skillets hang down fromthe rod, and by keeping thesmaller skillets at one end, youcan place deep pots under them.A paper-plate holder at one endcan hold the lids. Works great,and no scratches. — Sherril G.,Santa Ana, Calif.

If the paper-plate holder is tooflimsy, an inexpensive lid holdercan be purchased at some home-improvement stores. — Heloise

Another container repurposedDear Heloise: I’m a great

repurposer of many containersthat food and products come in.Recently, my son purchased aplastic container filled with sugar-free powdered-drink packets.

Once empty, the label is easy toremove — no soaking needed —and the lid snapped shut rathernicely. There’s so much potentialfor this nice little container that Ihave begun to save them insteadof recycling.

Do you have any other sugges-tions for these now that the holi-days are almost upon us? Anyhints would be greatly appreciat-ed! — Darla, via email

I’m familiar with these contain-ers, and you’re right — they’re justtoo good not to repurpose.Consider decorating one and turn-ing it into a small piggy bank. Orfill with candy, a nice letter, otherkinds of “drinking” packets oreven small office/desk items andgive as gifts. — Heloise

Loaning booksDear Heloise: My business

card is loosely attached to theinside cover of books I loan. Ialways get my books back. If Idecide to recycle a book, I simplycut my card from the cover. —Diana in New Mexico

In drought, drones help California farmers save every dropLOS BANOS, Calif. (AP) — A

drone whirred to life in a cloud ofdust, then shot hundreds of feetskyward for a bird’s-eye view of avast tomato field in California’sCentral Valley, the nation’s mostproductive farming region.

Equipped with a state-of-the-art thermal camera, the dronecrisscrossed the field, scanningit for cool, soggy patches where agopher may have chewedthrough the buried drip irriga-tion line and caused a leak.

In the drought-prone West,where every drop of watercounts, California farmers are ina constant search for ways to

efficiently use the increasinglyscarce resource. CannonMichael is putting drone tech-nology to work on his fields atBowles Farming Co. near LosBanos, 120 miles southeast ofSan Francisco.

About 2,100 companies andindividuals have federal permis-sion to fly drones for farming,according to the drone industry’sAssociation for UnmannedVehicle Systems International.Federal regulators Mondayrelaxed the rules on small, com-mercial drones, a move thatcould spur even greater use ofsuch aircraft on farms.

Michael is descended fromHenry Miller, a renowned cattlerancher, farmer and Westernlandowner who helped transformsemi-arid central California intofertile farmland 150 years ago bybuilding irrigation canals, somestill flowing today.

Six generations later, Michaelfarms a 17-square-mile portionof that same land, growing mel-ons, carrots, onions, cotton andalmonds, while carrying on inthe same pioneering spirit asMiller.

“I’ve always been a big fan oftechnology,” said Michael, 44,mindful of how climate change is

making water more precious. “Ithink it’s really the only waywe’re going to stay in business.”

On his 2,400-acre tomato cropalone, Michael estimates thatthis year his leak-detectingdrones could save enough waterto sustain more than 550 fami-lies of four for a year.

California endured the driestfour-year period on record beforea relatively wet and snowy winterthis year overflowed some reser-voirs in the northern part of thestate. Southern California, how-ever, remains dry, and thestatewide drought has notended.

Police confront protesters blocking Interstate 277 during a third night of unrest followingTuesday's police shooting of Keith Lamont Scott in Charlotte, N.C., Thursday.

Charlotte curfew ends after largely peaceful protest night

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Athird night of protests over afatal police shooting in Charlottegave way to quiet streets as acurfew enacted by the city’smayor ended early Friday.

The largely peaceful Thursdaynight demonstrations in thecity’s business district, watchedover by rifle-toting members ofthe National Guard, called onpolice to release video that couldresolve wildly different accountsof the shooting of a black manearlier this week.

The family of Keith LamontScott, 43, was shown the footageThursday of his fatal shootingand demanded that policerelease it to the public.

Demonstrators chanted“release the tape” and “we wantthe tape” Thursday while brieflyblocking an intersection nearBank of America headquartersand later climbing the steps tothe door of the city governmentcenter. Later, several dozendemonstrators walked onto aninterstate highway through thecity, but they were pushed backby police in riot gear.

Still, the protests lacked theviolence and property damage ofprevious nights, and the curfewencouraged a stopping point.Local officers’ ranks were aug-mented by Guard members car-rying rifles and guarding officebuildings against the threat ofproperty damage.

Charlotte Mayor JenniferRoberts signed documentsThursday night to be in effectfrom midnight until 6 a.m. eachday that the state of emergencydeclared by the governor contin-ues.

After the curfew took effect,police allowed the crowd ofdemonstrators to thin without

forcing them off the street. PoliceCapt. Mike Campagna toldreporters that officers would notseek to arrest curfew violators aslong as they were peaceful.

So far, police have resistedreleasing police dashcam andbody camera footage of Scott’sdeath. Charlotte-MecklenburgPolice Chief Kerr Putney saidThursday that releasing thefootage of Scott’s killing couldundermine the investigation. Hetold reporters the video will bemade public when he believesthere is a “compelling reason” todo so.

“You shouldn’t expect it to bereleased,” Putney said. “I’m notgoing to jeopardize the investiga-tion.”

Charlotte is the latest U.S. cityto be shaken by protests andrecriminations over the death ofa black man at the hands ofpolice, a list that includesBaltimore, Milwaukee, Chicago,New York and Ferguson,Missouri. In Tulsa, Oklahoma,on Thursday, prosecutorscharged a white officer withmanslaughter for killing anunarmed black man on a citystreet last week.

Protests in Charlotte turnedviolent Wednesday as demon-strators attacked reporters andothers, set fires and smashedwindows of hotels, office build-ings and restaurants in the city’sbustling business district.

Forty-four people were arrest-ed after Wednesday’s protests,and one protester who was shotdied at the hospital Thursday;city officials said police did notshoot the man and no arrestshave been made in 26-year-oldJustin Carr’s death.

Police have said Scott wasshot to death Tuesday by a black

officer after he disregardedrepeated warnings to drop hisgun. Neighbors, though, havesaid he was holding only a book.The police chief said a gun wasfound next to the dead man, andthere was no book.

Putney said he has seen thevideo and it does not contain“absolute, definitive evidencethat would confirm that a personwas pointing a gun.” But headded: “When taken in the total-ity of all the other evidence, itsupports what we said.”

Justin Bamberg, an attorneyfor Scott’s family, watched thevideo with the slain man’s rela-tives. He said that in the video,Scott gets out of his vehiclecalmly.

“While police did give him sev-eral commands, he did notaggressively approach them orraise his hands at members oflaw enforcement at any time. It isimpossible to discern from thevideos what, if anything, Mr.Scott is holding in his hands,”Bamberg said in a statement.

Scott was shot as he walkedslowly backward with his handsby his side, Bamberg said.

The lawyer said at a news con-ference earlier in the day thatScott’s wife saw him get shot,“and that’s something she willnever, ever forget.” That is thefirst time anyone connected withthe case has said the wife wit-nessed the shooting. Bamberggave no details on what the wifesaw.

The police chief acknowledgedthat he has promised trans-parency in the investigation, butsaid, “I’m telling you right now, ifyou think I say we should dis-play a victim’s worst day for con-sumption, that is not the trans-parency I’m speaking of.”

Criminal charges in Tulsa police shooting may prevent unrest

TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Less thana week after an unarmed blackman was shot dead by a whitepolice officer on a Tulsa street,prosecutors charged the officerwith first-degree manslaughter, adecision that may preventunrest in a city with a longhistory of tense race rela-tions.

Tulsa officer BettyShelby “reacted unreason-ably” when she fatallyshot 40-year-old TerenceCrutcher on Sept. 16,prosecutors wrote in anaffidavit filed with thecharge on Thursday.Police also acted quickly toprovide videos of the shooting toblack community leaders andmembers of Crutcher’s family andthen released them to the public.

Shelby was booked in the TulsaCounty jail at 1:11 a.m. Fridayand was released at 1:31 a.m.after posting $50,000 bond,according to jail records.

The swift action in Tulsa stoodin contrast to Charlotte, NorthCarolina, where police refusedunder mounting pressureThursday to publicly release videoof the shooting of another blackman this week and the NationalGuard was called in after twonights of violent protests.Demonstrations in Tulsa sinceCrutcher’s death have been con-sistently peaceful.

Tulsa Mayor Dewey Bartlettpraised the police department forquickly providing evidence toDistrict Attorney SteveKunzweiler’s office.

“These are important steps toensure that justice and accounta-bility prevails,” Bartlett said in astatement. “We will continue to betransparent to ensure that justiceand accountability prevails.”

Phil Turner, a Chicago-based

defense attorney and former feder-al prosecutor, said the motivationof prosecutors in Tulsa may havebeen partly to allay outrage andavoid the kind of violenceCharlotte has seen.

“But I don’t think thecharge was only to give thecrowd some blood. ... No. Ithink (prosecutors) musthave thought chargeswere warranted,” he said.

If convicted, Shelbyfaces between four yearsand life in prison.

Crutcher’s twin sister,Tiffany Crutcher, said herfamily is pleased with thecharge, but she and her

attorneys want to ensure a vigor-ous prosecution that leads to aconviction.

Attorney Damario Solomon-Simmons said: “We are happy thatcharges were brought, but let meclear — the family wants anddeserves full justice.

“Not only for this family, notonly for Terence but to be a deter-rent for law officers all around thisnation to know that you cannotkill unarmed citizens.”

Shelby’s attorney, Scott Wood,did not immediately respond totelephone messages seeking com-ment on the charges.

Dashcam and aerial footage ofthe shooting and its aftermathshowed Crutcher walking awayfrom Shelby with his arms in theair. The footage does not offer aclear view of when Shelby fired thesingle shot that killed Crutcher.Her attorney has said Crutcherwas not following police com-mands and that Shelby openedfire when the man began to reachinto his SUV window.

But Crutcher’s family immedi-ately discounted that claim, sayingthe father of four posed no threatto the officers. And police said

Crutcher did not have a gun onhim or in his vehicle.

The affidavit filed Thursdayindicates that Shelby “cleared thedriver’s side front” of Crutcher’svehicle before she began interact-ing with Crutcher, suggesting shemay have known there was no gunon the driver’s side of the vehicle.

The affidavit says Shelby toldpolice homicide investigators that“she was in fear for her life andthought Mr. Crutcher was going tokill her. When she began followingMr. Crutcher to the vehicle withher duty weapon drawn, she wasyelling for him to stop and get onhis knees repeatedly.”

Prosecutors offer two possibletheories in charging documents:That Shelby killed Crutcher impul-sively in a fit of anger or that shewrongly killed him as she soughtto detain him. Lee F. Berlin, aTulsa-based defense lawyer and aformer assistant district attorneyin Oklahoma, said prosecutorscould present both theories or maydecide to move forward with onlyone and let jurors decide.

Berlin also said he thoughtongoing tests by the state medicalexaminer’s office would be enoughto delay the filing of criminalcharges.

“So, yes, I was surprised it cameback quickly,” he said, adding thathe and other Tulsa attorneys hespoke with thought any chargesagainst Shelby were unlikely.

Shelby, who joined the TulsaPolice Department in December2011, was en route to a domesticviolence call when she encoun-tered Crutcher’s vehicle aban-doned on a city street, straddlingthe center line. Shelby did notactivate her patrol car’s dash-board camera, so no footage existsof what first happened betweenthe two before other officersarrived.

said. He shared his story at the

Cleveland Operation ChristmasChild kickoff Thursday. FirstBaptist Cleveland is serving asthe regional partner again thisyear.

Abakah grew up in Ghana.He remembers asking some

friends if they were going toschool on that Friday morning.They said they were not goingthat day, but Abakah decided toanyway. It was about a two-milewalk.

Even being able to attendschool had been a struggle forAbakah.

“I was so desperate, crying allthe time, ‘I want to go toschool,’” Abakah said.

He said many schools hadturned him down year afteryear, saying he was not readyyet because he could not reachover his head and touch his ear.

“I was tiny, I was little,”Abakah said.

When he was 9 years old, hestretched his arm in front of hisface in order to be able to reachhis ear and he was permitted toattend school.

Abakah said his family was“very poor,” and he sometimeswent to school hungry.

He father was a sugar canefarmer and his mother workedin a cafeteria at a high school.

“So when she goes to workshe is able to bring home food tosustain us from time to time;when she doesn’t, we have tochew some sugar cane or drinkwater,” Abakah said.

Abakah was 12 when OCCcame to his school.

“All of a sudden there was aloud sound outside the school,”Abakah said. “There were truckscoming into the compound andschool buses.”

Students from other schoolswere brought to join his schoolfor the event.

“The visitors did an awesomejob, they made us all be quiet,”Abakah said. “They said, ‘Howmany of you want to go to heav-en?’ I was so ready, they saidheaven would be a beautifulplace. We won’t be hungry. Wewon’t be tired. … They told meJesus loves me.”

They also sang the song“Jesus Loves Me.” To this day, itis Abakah’s favorite.

“It is a part of me now, I singit all the time,” Abakah said.

The presentation had a pro-found impact on Abakah.

“I made the decision that I willfollow God, that I will followJesus,” Abakah said.

After the song, each childreceived a box.

“That was really a greatmoment for me,” Abakah said.

It was the first gift he hadever received.

“The items were so cool,”Abakah said.

His favorite item was a yo-yo,although he said it took himawhile to figure out how itworked.

Abakah’s sister was presentand also received one.

As he walked home, Abakahwas no longer hungry.

“When I received that box, Ifelt so strong. I don’t think itwas just the box, it was themessage,” he said.

He said he had the strengthas if he had eaten “two bowls offood.”

Abakah joined a local church,and his entire family of ninecame to know Jesus Christ aspersonal Savior. He said his lifeand the lives of his family mem-bers would be very different if hehad never received the shoeboxgift.

Abakah’s favorite Scriptureverse is 2 Samuel 7:18, in whichKing David asks God, “Who amI, O Sovereign Lord, and what ismy family, that you havebrought me this far?”

“I have been moved fromnothing to something,” Abakahsaid.

In 2012, Abakah became astudent at Tusculum College inGreeneville.

“It is really amazing how Godworks,” Abakah said. “Now I cansee that his plan for me was toreceive a shoebox at the age of12, so that I would believe inhim and my faith in him wouldgrow.”

Abakah had applied to a col-lege in Ghana, but was denied.Later, he felt God telling him toapply to a school he had neverheard of before. He looked at alist of colleges and sawTusculum. It was a school hehad never heard of, so heapplied and was accepted.

When he came here, he

thought the first question hewould get was, “How was yourflight?” Instead, people asked,“How did you hear ofTusculum?”

Abakah did not have anywarm clothes when he arrived. Afamily at his church offered toget him some. While he was intheir car, he saw an OperationChristmas Child shoebox. Hesaid the person was excited tomeet someone who had been arecipient.

Abakah is on track to gradu-ate in December. He plans toattend pharmacy school at EastTennessee State University.

He wants to “become a phar-macists and go back to Ghanaand help my community, bringhope to children, like me ...bring hope to families.”

When it is available in theirlanguage, children who receive ashoebox, also receive a copy of“The Greatest Gift.” The booklettells the story of Jesus.

Stephanie Olsen, OCC Mid-South regional manager, saidthe shoebox gifts serve as a wayto show a child “there is aFather that no matter their cir-cumstances loves them andwants to be an active part oftheir life.”

The boxes open opportunitiesfor ministry, church programsand discipleship through theGreatest Journey.

Olsen said it is a way to equippastors working in each of theseareas to take the “good newsand great joy” about Jesus tothose who have never heard.Even though the program hasalready reached children in 100countries there is a waiting listof locations still to be reached.The worldwide goal for this yearis 12 million shoebox gifts.

The Greatest Journey is a vol-untary 12-week program thatteaches children more aboutJesus. Children who graduatefrom the program receive a Biblein their language.

“Last year alone, 1 millionchildren came to know Christjust through The GreatestJourney,” Olsen said.

This year’s local OperationChristmas Child drop-off loca-tions will be listed athttps://www.samaritanspurse.org/operation-christmas-child/drop-off-locations/ start-ing on Oct. 1.

Collection week is Nov. 14-21. UPS testing drones for use in its package delivery system

MARBLEHEAD, Mass. (AP) —One of the world’s largest packagedelivery companies is stepping upefforts to integrate drones into itssystem.

UPS has partnered with robot-maker CyPhy Works to test the useof drones to make commercialdeliveries to remote or difficult-to-access locations.

The companies began testing thedrones on Thursday, when theylaunched one from the seasidetown of Marblehead. The droneflew on a programmed route for 3miles over the Atlantic Ocean todeliver an inhaler at Children’sIsland.

The successful landing was

greeted by jubilant shouts fromCyPhy Works and UPS employeeson the island to witness the test.

“I thought it was fantastic,” saidJohn Dodero, UPS vice presidentfor industrial engineering.

CyPhy Works founder HelenGreiner, who previously co-found-ed robot-maker iRobot, said thedrone tests with UPS allow hercompany to gather engineering andcost information and then workwith UPS to look at where dronescan add the most value to UPS’extensive network.

Still, the robot-maker doesn’tsee drones replacing deliverytrucks, bikes, buggies or gondolasanytime soon.

“Aha! I believe you have amote (the tiniest piece of dust)in your eye. Obviously, youdon’t see things like I do andyou must be wrong since I amdecidedly right.”

Jesus gave warnings aboutthis dangerous practice ofjudgment and inspection.”Judge not, that ye be notjudged. For with what judg-ment ye judge, ye shall bejudged: and with what measureye mete, it shall be measuredto you again. And why behold-est thou the mote that is in thybrother’s eye, but considerestnot the beam that is in thineown eye?” (Matthew 7:1-3(KJV).

“Ye blind guides, whichstrain at a gnat, and swallow acamel” (Matthew 23:24).

Jesus gives a reproof tothose who pass rash judg-ments against their botherswithout judging themselves.Oh, what blind, choke-on-a-camel hypocrites they are

called.There are serious conse-

quences when a person takes itupon himself to sit in judgmenton another.

Is love existing there? Or isthere hate and contempt? “Andabove all things have ferventcharity among yourselves: forcharity shall cover the multi-tude of sins” (1 Peter 4:8 KJV).

Jesus gave the answer. “...Thou shalt love the Lord thyGod with all thy heart, andwith all thy soul, and with allthy strength, and with all thymind; and thy neighbour asthyself” (Luke 10:27 KJV).

These two commandmentshave the formula for a fruitfullife. Christ also summed it upwith this positive statement —“Do unto others as you wouldhave them do unto you.”

The relationship with othersshould be tender and withcharity Those who show judg-ment without mercy willreceive judgment without

mercy. Paul begins the fifth chapter

of Galatians with an exhorta-tion to faith. He then leadsthem into understanding thepracticality of living a life ofholiness as a follower of Christ.He tells them that Christ deliv-ers them from the curse of thelaw, but not from adherence tothe principle of holiness, whichbecomes Christians. And thiscan only be exercised with love,which fulfills the law.

This love, he tells them, willguard from fleshly desires. Itwill not give sin an opportunityto take control of your life. And,he says, it is the bond betweenyou that you will consider oneanother and be as servants toeach other. Love will make thedifference in your attitudes.

In 1 Thessalonians 5:13(KJV), we read, “And to esteemthem very highly in love fortheir work’s sake. And be atpeace among yourselves.”Fellowship with the saints

means interdependence, aright view of one’s self andspiritual responsibility.

John Wesley said, “Judgenot any man without full, clear,certain knowledge, withoutabsolute necessity, withouttender love. That which charityteaches us to call but a splinterin our brother’s eye, truerepentance and godly sorrowwill teach us to call a beam inour own.

“It is as strange that a mancan be in a sinful, miserablecondition and not be aware ofit, as that a man should have abeam in his eye and not con-sider it; but the god of thisworld blinds their minds. Agood rule for reprovers — first,reform thyself.”

Love makes it.

Southern drought parches ground, withers cropsATLANTA (AP) — Extreme

drought conditions are persist-ing in parts of Alabama andGeorgia, wilting crops and rais-ing the specter of wildfires.

Thursday’s U.S. DroughtMonitor, a weekly report thattracks drought conditionsnationwide, showed the worst ofthe drought was found inAlabama’s northeast corner andin northwest Georgia along witha swath of land south and south-east of Atlanta.

In northwest Georgia, extremedrought conditions are continu-ing in more than a half-dozencounties.

“This area has been hard-hitwith withered crops, low-flowcreeks, cattle sell-offs, and farm-ers seeking hay from neighbor-ing states to feed livestock. Therehave also been reports of army-worm infestations,” the reportsaid of Georgia’s northwest cor-ner. “There has also been a largeimpact on hay, soybeans, andcorn.”

In North Carolina, the droughtis less severe, but dry conditionsare evident as trees lose leavesearly.

“A substantial number of treesare prematurely losing theirleaves and yellowing way ahead

of schedule,” the report stated.In Asheville, North Carolina,

the airport received just .02inches of rain in the first threeweeks of September, the reportstated.

In Tennessee, the driest areasare in eastern portion of thestate, especially in the greaterChattanooga area.

Chattanooga has seen 13.8inches of precipitation sinceMarch 1 — less than half of whatit normally receives during thatperiod. “The last time this hap-pened was over a century ago, in1902,” the report said.

Parts of northern Mississippi

are also experiencing a severedrought, though not the extremeconditions reported in parts ofGeorgia, Alabama andTennessee.

The U.S. Drought Monitor isproduced through a partnershipbetween the federal governmentand the National DroughtMitigation Center at theUniversity of Nebraska-Lincoln.

A few years ago we were allaware of a man in Georgiawho was on death row andthe clock was ticking downfor his execution. NamedTroy Davis, he proclaimedhis innocence to the end.Hopefully, none of us willface death by execution.Nonetheless, we all will pullthe shroud of death about usand die (unless Christ comesin the Rapture!).

Some years ago BillyGraham exclaimed, “Allmankind is sitting on DeathRow. How we die or when isnot the main issue, butwhere we go after death,” heconcluded.

The Bible is our map, ourguidebook for life, death, andeternity. Pastor JohnMacArthur, GraceCommunity Church,Southern California, asked:“How seriously do you takeGod’s word? That’s a ques-tion every ... [person] needsto perpetually keep in mind,because the answer finds itsway into your behavior, yourattitude, your words, yourrelationships, your family,and your work. Your rever-ence — or lack thereof — forGod and His truth influencesand informs every part ofyour life.”

Speaking of death, some-one told of finding the follow-ing epitaph on a gravestone:

Pause, my friend, as youwalk by,

As you are now, so oncewas I.

As I am now, so you willbe.

Prepare, my friend, to fol-low me.

Some wag added theselines:

To follow you is not myintent,

Until I know which wayyou went!

We may tease about death,

but it is still a macabre sub-ject and is certain. Note thisstraight-forward statementfrom the Bible: “We will sure-ly die and become like waterspilled on the ground, whichcannot be gathered up again”(2 Samuel 14:14). Death is sosure and so very final.

When the English PatriotSr. William Russell went tothe scaffold in 1683, he tookhis watch out of his pocketand handed it to the physi-cian who attended him in hisdeath.

“Would you kindly take mytimepiece?” he asked. “I willhave no use for it. I am nowdealing with eternity.” Whatif we knew this was our lastday? That today we wouldstand before a Holy God?Some day will be the last forall of us.

Our Holy God cannot andwill not permit sin into Hisholy heaven. But “if we con-fess our sins, he is faithfuland just and will forgive usour sins and purify us fromall unrighteousness” (1 John1:9).

If we are not sure ourname is registered in heaven,we can be sure. If we confessour sins, believe on Christand receive Him into ourhearts, and then live for Him,we are ready for heaven. Thegate will swing wide for uswhen life here ends.

D.L. Moody, the world-famous evangelist, who diedin December, 1899, said ashe was crossing: “If this isdeath, there is no valley. Thisis glorious! I have been with-in the gates, and I have seenthe children! Earth is reced-ing! Heaven is approaching;God is calling me!”

What a fantastic way toenter eternity!

TENNESSEE BRIEFS

Move to honor Fred Thompson

Cooper: Don’t rush to name courthouseNASHVILLE (AP) — All but

one of Tennessee’s congression-al delegation members want thenew federal courthouse inNashville to be named after thelate actor-politician FredThompson, but the lone holdoutsays there’s no need to rush.

Rep. Jim Cooper, a NashvilleDemocrat who lost to Thompsonin the 1994 Senate race, is theonly one of the 11 delegationmembers not to sign on to legis-lation to dedicate the building tothe Lawrenceburg native whodied last year at age 73.

“I am not against FredThompson,” Cooper said in anemail. “He beat me fair andsquare decades ago. I am notagainst it being named for aRepublican.

“But is rushing through a billat the last minute in Congress,without any public input or dis-cussion, the best we can do?”

Cooper said it should be up

people in Middle Tennessee todecide the name of the court-house that’s being built afteryears of delays. And if they wereto end up choosing Thompson,Cooper said he’d have “no prob-lem” with that.

Thompson was a Tennessee-trained lawyer, prosecutor,hard-driving Senate counselduring the Watergate hearings,movie and TV actor and even afleeting presidential hopeful in2008. He commanded audienceswith a booming voice, folksycharisma and a 6-foot-6 frame.

Thompson appeared in atleast 20 motion pictures includ-ing “In the Line of Fire,” ‘’TheHunt for Red October,” ‘’DieHard II” and “Cape Fear,” whilealso fostering a lobbying careerin Washington. Upon his returnhome in early 1990s to run forthe Senate, Thompson leasedwhat would become his signa-ture red truck to drive around

the state to cast himself as aman of the people.

Cooper at the time deridedthe truck as a cynical prop todeflect attention fromThompson’s inside-the-Beltwaystatus, arguing that hisRepublican opponent was infact a “Gucci-wearing, Lincoln-driving, Perrier-drinking, GreyPoupon-spreading millionaireWashington special-interest lob-byist.”

Thompson neverthelessended up winning more than 60percent of the vote.

Republican Lamar Alexander,who succeeded Thompson in theSenate after Thompson decidednot to seek a second full term in2002, said he could think of nobetter person to name the court-house after.

“It is appropriate to name thenew federal courthouse in honorof Fred’s distinguished career asan attorney, Senate investiga-

tor, and United States Senator,”Alexander said.

Fellow Republican Sen. BobCorker agreed.

“Through his many differentroles in public life, Fred neverforgot where he came from, andour state and country miss hiscommonsense approach to pub-lic service,” Corker said.

Rep. Steve Cohen, the onlyother Democratic member of theTennessee delegations besideCooper, said partisan questionsdidn’t enter into considerationfor naming the courthouse.

“Despite our political differ-ences, Fred was always encour-aging to me and I valued ourfriendship,” Cohen said. “He ledan eclectic life from his time asan outstanding congressionalstaffer during the Watergatehearings and as a fine attorney,actor, and public servant.

“His was a life very well lived,”Cohen said.

A cozy, two-bedroom town-house is as beautiful as thename of the small subdivision —Ocoee Landing — where it islocated.

And, being on such an appeal-ing named lane — EmmyllieCourt — how could it be any-thing but beautiful?

The dwelling features a verynice entrance, with a front doorthat has a charming glass centerthat one cannot help but noticeas they approach the nicely man-icured front of the residence.That is, unless you enter thehome through the garage, whichhas plenty of space for one vehi-cle and other items that can bestored there.

If you think the front entranceis alluring, the back patio area isequally, if not more, elegant. Aconcrete patio with steps thatrise to the ground above itshould make for nice evenings ormornings sipping coffee or hav-ing a wonderful meal outside.

Once inside the residence,possibly the first thing you willnotice is the fireplace in the liv-ing room area. Not only will thatfireplace provide warmth onthose cold winter nights, but theambiance from the fire will addto the cozy feel of the home.

The home does feature heatingand air conditioning aside fromthe fireplace and ceiling fans.

Adjacent to the living roomarea is the master bedroom,which features a nice standingshower and lots of room in the

attached bath. There is also asizeable walk-in closet area inthe master bedroom, along witha nice linen/towel closet there.

Walking back to the bedroomyou’ll pass an interesting featureof the home: what might bedeemed a computer area. A sec-tion of the home just off the frontentrance that leads to the bed-room has a built-in table thatwould be perfect for someone toset up a computer or other elec-tronics, and offers a convenientarea for either.

Also as you enter the residencethrough the front door, youmight view plants or ceramics orother items placed on a ledgejust toward the top of the ceilingon the right. This ledge would beperfect for decorations on holi-days, and spans the area fromthe front door to the hallway thatleads to the smaller bedroom inthe home.

All of the bedrooms have ceil-ing fans, as does the living room,to make these areas even moreappealing.

A dining area is attached tothe beautiful kitchen that fea-tures Frigidaire appliances(range/oven, microwave ovenand dishwasher) and a niceisland that can be used to storeitems plus be used for spacewhen preparing meals. Or, if onehas barstools, this can be usedas an area where you can have asmall meal or just sit and enjoythe sunlight coming in throughthe back windows.

The droplights above thekitchen island are welcome forintimate lighting: just enough for

This numerical rating of 100percentile reaffirms that theCleveland Utilities water system isapproved by the State Departmentof Environment and Conservationas an approved water system.

“It takes a team and dedicatedeffort from everyone to earn thistype of score,” said Mullinax. “Thisincludes the operators, chief oper-ators, maintenance and opera-tional personnel, engineers, andmanagers. I am extremely proudof all these co-workers.”

He pointed out the utility’splants are maintained by opera-tors every day, including week-ends and holidays. “We are open365 days each year,” he added.“We are all blessed to work for agreat company like ClevelandUtilities, which allows us to do ourbest in treating and deliveringclean and safe drinking water toour customers.”

Gary Burriss, an officer of theChattanooga Environmental FieldOffice, Division of WaterResources, sent a letter toCleveland Utilities President andCEO Ken Webb acknowledgingthe perfect score and 100 percentrating.

“We would like to thank thestaff of Cleveland Utilities for theirassistance and cooperation inconducting the sanitary survey onAug. 25 and Aug. 29,” he said.

Burriss said the survey coversthe period between August 2015to August 2016.

He went on to say, “All of therequired records were well organ-ized and available for inspection,

and all monthly operation reportswere received at the state office ontime.” He said customer com-plaint records were also available,as well as action taken to resolvecomplaints.

In the inspection of the utility’splant laboratory, Burriss said alltests were in compliance withshelf life and calibration stan-dards. In conclusion, he empha-sized that the required bacterio-logical sampling rate for the utilitywill remain at 80 samples permonth, based on 31,168 connec-tions serving an estimated popu-lation of 81,348 people.

In other utility business:— Cleveland Utilities President

and CEO Ken Webb will be step-ping into retirement aroundThanksgiving of this year, and willbe replaced in the top spot by TimHenderson.

The board approved a recom-mendation from Webb to grantHenderson full authority as presi-dent and CEO at the start of that

month (November). This will giveHenderson about a month toserve as the utility’s top manager,with Webb available for consulta-tion and assistance.

This was the process adoptedby the utility when formerManager Tom Wheeler retired,and Webb took over.

— Webb shared a letter with theboard Thursday from ClevelandDirector of Schools Dr. RussellDyer.

Dyer contacted the utility toexpress his appreciation for thetimely manner in which CU crewsresponded to a power outage atthe school system’s central office,and nearby Yates and Ross ele-mentary schools.

“Hal Taylor (schools mainte-nance supervisor) relayed to mehow diligent your staff was aboutgetting power restored, and wesincerely appreciate that service,”Dyer said. “Again, thank you, andour students and staff are verygrateful.”

— Cleveland’s new city manag-er, Joe Fivas, was a guest atThursday’s board meeting, andwas introduced by board memberand Cleveland Mayor TomRowland.

Rowland said the new city offi-cial is attempting to get out andvisit with the many city boardsand organizations.

— The next meeting of theCleveland Utilities board is sched-uled for 3 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 27,in the Tom Wheeler TrainingCenter. It will be Webb’s finalboard meeting.

pretty good,” Green said. “As weknew would be happening, non-teaching personnel in Augustcame back into the school sys-tems so that helped local govern-ment employment, as it usuallydoes this time of year.”

Temporary services is anotherjobs category seeing a slightincrease in hiring, he noted.

By the same token, “There wasa very small increase in retailtrade,” Green added.

This time of year, job watchersstart focusing a lot more closelyon retail trade because of the hus-tle and bustle of the holiday sea-son that lies beyond the near hori-zon. With the approach ofHalloween, then Thanksgivingand eventually to Christmas andNew Year’s, retailers will begin tobeef up their staffs.

Sometimes part-time retailopportunities come along as earlyas October, and other times theywait until November or earlyDecember, Green explained.These are the jobs that routinelyinfluence the late-year unemploy-ment market and send ratesplummeting.

Traditionally, the unemploy-ment rate in December is the low-est of the year, but then Januaryand February are among the high-est as many year-ending retailjobs find themselves coming to ahalt.

Bradley County’s 4.7 rate inAugust hovered slightly above the

state mark of 4.3, which repre-sented a small drop from 4.4 inJuly. The U.S. rate also remainedunchanged at 4.9 percent.

Bradley’s neighbors also sawsome impact of slowing tourismand the return to school.Hamilton County notched a rateof 5 percent, representing a slighthike from 4.9 in July. Other bor-der neighbors included McMinn,5.8, up from 5.5; Meigs, 7.1, upfrom 6.9; Monroe, 5.5,unchanged; Polk, 5.8, up from5.7; and Rhea, 7.6, up from 7.5.

Statewide, jobless ratesdecreased in 26 counties,increased in 58 and remained thesame in 11. Unemployment ratescame in at 4.9 percent or less in26 counties, and ranged from 5 to9.9 percent in 69. No counties

recorded double-digit unemploy-ment; that is, 10 percent or high-er.

Tennessee counties reportingthe lowest jobless rates includedWilliamson, 3.7; Davidson, 3.8;Rutherford and Wilson, 4;Cheatham, Sumner and Moore,4.1; Maury and Sevier, 4.2; andGiles, 4.3.

Counties recording the highestrates were Hancock, 8;Lauderdale, Obion and Houston,7.8; Scott, 7.5; Benton andJackson, 7.4; and Weakley,McNairy and Lake, 7.3.

A unique feature of the Augustreport, and one that likely keptBradley’s rate from dropping, wasan increase in the number of peo-ple entering the labor force andlooking for work, Green said.

“Some were entering the work-force for the first time; they’recalled ‘new entrants,’” Greenexplained. “Some might have beenout of work for awhile [and hadstopped looking], but are nowlooking. They’re called ‘re-entrants.’ When that happens,and when new people look forwork but they don’t find work,that affects the rate.”

Statewide, the month of Augustsaw a jump in the labor forcewhich trickled down to the countylevel, he said.

“That’s one reason that rateswere flat, for the most part,”Green noted. “It meant we didn’tsee a lot of fluctuation.”

women in blue who are sworn toprotect,” Porter said. “We, the100, do stand behind our locallaw enforcement officers, and weencourage our community tostand up and to do the same.”

But the two most recentshootings in Tulsa and Charlottehave admittedly challengedPorter’s patience, as evidencedby the strongly worded state-ment.

“The fact is, most of us do notcarry a gun to do our work, buta police officer does because hedoesn’t know what type of callhe, or she, will have to answernext — and this occurs on adaily basis,” Porter said. “Policeofficers are asked to use theirbest judgment on each call, andthis is an understood part of thejob.”

He added, “With that in mind,it does appear that at timessome bad judgments are beingmade. As of late, there have beentoo many nationwide that havecome from just a few of our offi-cers in blue.”

Prompting Porter’s statement,on behalf of “The 100,” were thekillings of Terence Crutcher, a40-year-old black man in Tulsa,and 43-year-old Keith LamontScott in Charlotte. Crutcher’sdeath reportedly came from thegunfire of a white female officer.Scott’s shooting is reported tohave come from a black maleofficer.

Both deaths are still underinvestigation and eyewitnessreports in each case are contra-dictory. Crutcher is reported tohave been unarmed with hishands in the air; however,accounts by officers on the sceneclaim he was not following theirinstructions.

In Scott’s case, officers say hehad a handgun — includingCharlotte’s police chief, KerrPutney, who is black — but eye-witness accounts claim he washolding a book while waiting forhis son to disembark from aschool bus. Putney later toldreporters a handgun was foundat Scott’s side, not a book.

According to national mediaoutlets, Scott’s family onThursday was allowed to viewvideos of the shooting; however,initial reports indicated the view-ing was inconclusive as towhether Scott was holding agun, a book or anything at all.

Also Thursday in the city ofthe Oklahoma shooting, Tulsapolice officer Betty Shelby — whois reported to be the officerwhose gunfire struck Crutcher— has been charged with felonymanslaughter in the first degree,according to Tulsa County

District Attorney SteveKunzweiler. The DA’s criminalcomplaint against Shelby statesher “... fear resulted in herunreasonable actions which ledher to shooting” Crutcher.

The complaint cites Shelby isaccused of “unlawfully andunnecessarily” shootingCrutcher after he failed to com-ply with her “lawful orders,”according to national media out-lets.

This type of gun violence —predominately between policeofficers and black men — is whathas instigated protests, some ofthem violent, in many Americancities from Ferguson, Mo., toMilwaukee to Baton Rouge, La.,and now to Tulsa and Charlotte,Porter said.

“We want, and we need, ourofficers to be well trained andwell equipped so that they maydo their jobs,” Porter stressed.“We want to be proud of them asthey protect our citizens. We alsodon’t want our children to beafraid of our police officers whenthey see them come or go, nor tofear socializing with them innon-threatening situations.”

Violence like that in Tulsa andCharlotte, as well as otherAmerican cities, is what ledPorter to issue the latest state-ment on behalf of “The 100,” anorganization that commits itstime, volunteers and resourcesto youth mentoring, scholar-ships and other communitycauses.

The local nonprofit, whosecharter dates back to 1994, isproactively working to promotecommunication and positiveinteraction between the blackcommunity — as well as theentire Cleveland and BradleyCounty community — and lawenforcement agencies, Portersaid. One of the ways is throughcommunity forums such as oneheld recently at the BradleyCounty Sheriff’s Office.

Although it attracted only asmall crowd, the BCSO event

was intended to explain the legalside of excessive force by lawenforcement officers. Porter saida second forum — with the sameformat and agenda — will beheld soon in partnership withthe Cleveland PoliceDepartment.

Porter pledged his organiza-tion’s commitment to continueto work with local law enforce-ment officials, and to teachyoung people to do the same,but he acknowledged the typeof violence like that seen inTulsa and Charlotte over thepast few days is making it moredifficult.

“It’s frustrating to train and toteach our children how to act,and how to abide by the law, andthen having the law fail us ...such as we’ve been seeing in toomany other cities,” Porterstressed. “It doesn’t matter —and it should never matter — ifyou’re black, white or Hispanic— the law is the law, and itshould be followed as such.”

Yet, incidents like those inTulsa and Charlotte are shed-ding doubt on whether theycould have been avoided, hesaid.

“Accountability is what peopleare asking for when an officer isfound to have done wrong,”Porter stressed.

He added, “It’s all aboutaccountability. Troubling asthese times have become, webelieve it is accountability thatwill get us through.”

Still, Porter said he is an advo-cate — as is “The 100” organiza-tion — for the professional workof Cleveland and Bradley Countylaw enforcement agencies. Hesaid he believes the local com-munity continues to supportlocal law enforcement, and localofficers continue to show respectfor area residents regardless ofwhat’s going on around them inother cities.

“Their job is hard, and it’shard to do, and it requires a lotof decision-making,” he said.“I’m sure most local citizens takethat for granted.”

As for the shootings in Tulsa,and the protests that have fol-lowed the most recent tragedy inCharlotte, Porter cautionedagainst allowing emotion to over-take reason.

“We don’t need to pass judg-ment before we have heard, andbefore we have seen, all the factsin each incident,” he stated. “Butif wrongdoing is confirmed, andpoor judgment is found to be thecause, then it is everyone’s rightto call for justice and for thatjustice to be carried out in acourt of law.”

Government says it’s severing tieswith for-profit colleges accreditor

WASHINGTON (AP) —Hundreds of for-profit col-leges could close, leaving upto 600,000 students scram-bling to find other schools,after the EducationDepartment withdrew recogni-tion of the nation’s largestaccreditor of for-profitschools.

The Accrediting Council forIndependent Colleges andSchools said it would appealThursday’s decision toEducation Secretary John B.King Jr.

In a statement, ACICSInterim President RogerWilliams said the councilwould “continue diligentefforts to renew and strength-en its policies and practices”to meet the department’s cri-teria for accreditors.

The accrediting agency hasbeen accused of lax oversightof its schools, which includedthose once owned by the now-defunct Corinthian CollegesInc. and the recently shut-tered ITT Technical Institute.

The department’s decisionwas announced in a blog poston its website.

In a letter to the councilreleased later Thursday,Emma Vadehra, King’s chief ofstaff, wrote that “ACICS’ trackrecord does not inspire confi-dence that it can address allof the problems effectively.”

Vadehra said the depart-ment found fundamentalproblems with the council’swork as an accreditor. Herdecision followed staff andadvisory panel recommenda-tions to sever ties with thecouncil.

If ACICS loses its appeal,hundreds of schools would beforced to find a new accredi-tor within 18 months or lose

their ability to participate infederal financial aid pro-grams, such as student loansand Pell Grants. About600,000 students attendACICS-accredited institutions,Williams said.

While the appeal is pending,ACICS retains its federal recog-nition and remains determinedto fully execute its accredita-tion responsibilities in a profes-sional manner, he said.

Thursday’s decision wasmet with praise fromDemocratic lawmakers.

“Accreditors are supposedto be watchdogs, but this neg-ligent agency rubber-stampedshady institutions like ITTand Corinthian for years,right up until the momentthey collapsed,” said Sen.Elizabeth Warren ofMassachusetts.

But Steve Gunderson, pres-ident of Career EducationColleges and Universities, anindustry lobbying group thatrepresents for-profits, saidthe decision will have “horri-ble ramifications for hundredsof thousands of students,thousands of dedicated facul-ty and staff, and hundreds ofcommunities and employersthat rely on institutions

accredited by ACICS.”Republican Rep. John Kline

of Minnesota, chairman of theHouse Committee onEducation and the Workforce,echoed those concerns.“Hundreds of colleges will beforced to scramble to find anew accreditor so studentsdon’t lose their aid and every-thing they’ve been workingtoward,” Kline said.

Advocacy groups, lawmak-ers and others have long com-plained about the council. Ithas been accused of continu-ing to accredit schools underinvestigation for falsifying jobplacement rates and claimsfor federal aid, illegal recruit-ing practices and misleadingmarketing claims.

The council allowedCorinthian Colleges, one ofthe largest chains of for-profitcolleges, to continue toreceive accreditation evenwhile it was under investiga-tion for fraud. Corinthian soldmany of its campuses, closedothers and filed for bankrupt-cy protection last year.Thousands of its former stu-dents are asking theEducation Department to for-give their federal loans, in ataxpayer bailout that couldtop $3 billion.

And earlier this month, ITTTechnical Instituteannounced it was shuttingdown all 130 of its U.S. cam-puses, leaving more than35,000 students scramblingacross more than 30 states.The chain was banned in lateAugust from enrolling newstudents who used federalfinancial aid becauseEducation Department offi-cials said the company hadbecome a risk to students andtaxpayers.

be Cleveland Mayor Tom Rowlandand the Rev. Joel W. Huffstetler,the Rector of St., Luke’s EpiscopalChurch.

Rowland emphasized hisfriendship with Webb goes back tobefore either moved to Cleveland.

“Prior to moving to Cleveland, Iwas vacationing in DaytonaBeach, Fla., and attended an auc-tion,” Rowland said. “I bid on aring, and the person biddingagainst me was Jim Webb. I gotthe ring, but we still becamefriends, although we were bothliving in Knoxville at the time.”

Rowland said that when he didmove to Cleveland, Webb was oneof the first people to welcome himto the community.

Rowland added that Webb wasa generous man. An example, hesaid, is the fact Webb gave the cityhis old law offices on 1st Street.That building, which has sincebeen torn down, is over Taylor’sSpring, where the city is planninga community park.

Webb was a descendant of apioneer family which resided inthe community when it was still apart of Cherokee Indian Territory.He was a great-great-great grand-son of Revolutionary War veteranEdmund Roberts, and a memberof the First Families of Tennesseeand the Sons of the AmericanRevolution.

He served as Bradley County’sattorney for 25 years before step-

ping down to devote time to pri-vate practice. He also served aspresident and a member of theboard of directors of theTennessee Counties Attorney’sAssociation.

Webb also served in many posi-tions with community, businessand industrial organizations,including The Bank/FirstCitizens, Charleston Hosiery Mill,Cleveland/Bradley Chamber ofCommerce. Bowater SouthernPaper Corporation, ClevelandAssociated Industries, TennesseeManufacturer’s Association,Cleveland Industrial PersonnelClub, Cleveland Day School, andthe Cleveland Kiwanis Club.

An active Republican, Webbwas an honorary col. aide decamp for Gov. Lamar Alexander,and sergeant-at-arms of theTennessee Senate in 1973.

He served in the U.S. Air Forcefrom 1957 through 1960 in theJudge Advocate General’sDivision. He continued as an offi-cer in the U.S. Reserves until1971.

Webb received the highest ofhonors and accolades during thepursuit of his education at theUniversity of Tennessee.

He and his wife were married in1956 and moved to New YorkCity, where he joined the WallStreet law firm of Mudge, Stern,Baldwin and Todd. FormerPresident Richard Nixon and the

late U.S. Attorney General JohnMitchell were also partners in thisfirm.

The couple later returned toCleveland to raise their young sonin a calmer environment.

Webb became a member of anumber of local clubs and organi-zations, including ClevelandCountry Club, Cleveland Lodge1944 of the Benevolent andProtective Order of the Elks, theRolls Royce Owner’s Club, TheWalden Club, Mountain City Clubof Chattanooga, and ClubLeConte in Knoxville.

He was a 32nd Degree Masonwith F&AM Lodge No. 134, and aNoble of Alhambra Shrine Templeof Chattanooga.

His involvement with legal andjudicial associations was wellnoted. He and his wife were world-wide travelers, visiting most coun-tries and continents around theworld, including the Antarctic.

The estate of Webb and his wifeare to be willed to the University ofTennessee College of VeterinaryMedicine, where it will be used toestablish the Webb Memorial CatTreatment Center. The Clevelandcouple were known for their fond-ness for pet felines, and assistedarea animal care agencies.

They also assisted with medicaland nonprofit groups and organi-zations locally and across thestate, during their lifetime of car-ing and contribution.

Hughes, however, did any-thing but say nice things aboutthe mayor.

“He wants attention all thetime,” the city councilmanjoked. Hughes laughed as hementioned that Rowland hastaken credit for the Greenway,Cleveland 100, the jetport, andeven the 100 Black Men ofBradley County Inc. organiza-tion. He also had a PowerPointpresentation with Rowlandshown with famous people likethe Pope, Bill Clinton and theThree Stooges, calling them themayor’s “advisory team.”

The audience was enter-tained by Poteet, a localsinger/songwriter, who per-formed to the tune of “ProudMary” his own compilationhonoring the mayor. It is titled“Rowland is our Mayor.”

Casteel said Rowland wouldwear “happy socks” often, anddressed inappropriately at theTennessee Municipal Leaguepool party, thinking it was anactual party at a pool. It wasnot revealed if this was true ornot.

However, she did mentionthe situation she called “thebreast pump bomb,” where anemployee who had just had achild had her breast pump in acase that she had placed at

City Hall, and that the mayorwas wary of. Casteel saidRowland called the ClevelandPolice Department to assistwith their bomb squad whenhe could not determine whatwas in the case. The crowdwho had not heard the storybefore couldn’t help but laughat the incident.

The mayor’s age seemed tocome up during almost everyroaster’s presentation.Seymour said that he was sur-prised a bit to learn that whenfirst sworn into office asmayor, Rowland received a let-ter of congratulations fromPresident Lincoln.

He also joked that Rowlandcame to the school to teach aclass, and wondered where thechalkboard was located.

The final roaster was a sur-prise to most at the dinner.Sandra Rowland, who has beenmarried to the mayor for over48 years, had some stories shetold about her husband, whilealso taking the opportunity to

share her own jokes abouthim.

“He can outtalk an echo,”she smiled, “and he does havea speech impediment — hisfoot.”

She did mention a true storyabout her husband thinkingthere were too many commit-tees in city government, so heformed a committee to studythe committees. The headlinesin the Cleveland Daily Bannerabout Rowland’s plan made the“Tonight Show with Jay Leno.”

Though the comments madeabout the mayor were all injest, there were some seriouscomments. Hartline saidRowland is the best communi-cator he knows. Graves said inhis videotaped presentationthat the mayor is synonymouswith the city, and Seymoursaid he appreciated Rowlandallowing himself to be therecipient of all the barbs,knowing that it is raising fundsfor a great cause.

The roast was the secondthat CSCC had hosted, andcoincides with the school cele-brating its 50th anniversarythis year. The event looks to bean annual occurrence, andSeymour said that plans toselected the next roast recipi-ent are being developed.

ATLANTA (AP) — With morethan 120 million Americansexpected to cast ballots for presi-dent this fall, the nation’s votingprocess seems more convolutedthan ever and rife with potentialfor confusion come Election Day.

Voting rules vary widely bystate and sometimes by county,meaning some Americans canregister the same day they vote,while others must do so weeks inadvance. Some can mail in a bal-lot, while others must stand inline at a polling place that mightbe miles from home. Some whoforget photo identification cansimply sign an affidavit and havetheir ballot count, while othersmust return with their ID withina few days or their vote doesn’tmatter.

Fourteen states have new vot-ing and registration rules inplace for this election, accordingto the Brennan Center forJustice at the NYU School ofLaw. Legal challenges have led toa multitude of recent court rul-ings that have blocked or struckdown some provisions andupheld or reinstated others,scrambling the picture further.

The new rules and the rapidlyshifting landscape have alreadycaused confusion, and someexperts fear problems on Nov. 8.

“You would think that by 2016we would have gotten our acttogether, but in fact it seemsthings are as litigious and con-fusing as ever,” said Rick Hasen,an expert on election law andprofessor at the University ofCalifornia, Irvine School of Law.

The battle over voting mirrorsthe larger battle for politicalpower in the U.S.

While Democrats andRepublicans have both support-ed efforts to expand access, par-ticularly online registration, it’slargely been Republicans whohave been pushing restrictivelaws, such as those requiringvoters to show photo identifica-tion before casting ballots.

Supporters say such measuresare aimed at preventing fraud;critics say such laws fall mostheavily on the poor and minori-ties, who might not have driver’slicenses or could find it difficultto obtain the documents needed.

Recent court decisions haverolled back some of the more far-reaching restrictions but havealso created headaches for state

and local officials who need tomake sure they are complyingwith the latest rules.

In Wake County, NorthCarolina, election officials pre-pared two training manuals fortheir poll workers — one with thestate’s voter ID requirements andone without. (Voter ID was ulti-mately struck down over thesummer.)

Advocacy groups worry thatconfused poll workers might, forexample, demand documentsthat are not required. They alsofear that all the publicity sur-rounding voter ID laws mightlead some people to stay homebecause they mistakenly thinkthey won’t be able to vote.

“In periods of change, it canoften lead to a lot of confusion forvoters as to what the rules are,and for election officials, too,”said Wendy Weiser with theBrennan Center, pointing toproblems in 2012 in places likePennsylvania, where the state’svoter ID law was put on hold andthen struck down. “There werealso voters in Ohio, New Jerseywho mistakenly thought — hear-ing the news from Pennsylvania— that they had to show ID, too.”

The Supreme Court openedthe way for some of these meas-ures in 2013 when it struckdown a part of the Voting RightsAct that required certain statesand local jurisdictions with a his-tory of discrimination — particu-larly in the South — to getJustice Department approval ofany changes in their electionlaws.

Soon after, Republicans inNorth Carolina passed a packageof measures that not onlyrequired voters to show photo IDbut also reduced early voting andeliminated same-day registrationduring the early voting period.

Moses Colbert, a black pastorfrom Kings Mountain, NorthCarolina, was among those whofound himself unable to vote in2014 as a result of the changes.Colbert had recently moved toCleveland County from nearbyGaston County after his wed-ding.

Shortly after the move, he wentto the local motor vehicle office toupdate his address and voterregistration information. Yetwhen it came time to vote,Cleveland County officials toldhim he wasn’t registered there

and to go back to Gaston County.When he did, Gaston County offi-cials wouldn’t let him votebecause the address on his dri-ver’s license no longer matchedthe address on his voter registra-tion form. Before the changes,Colbert would have been able toupdate his registration duringthe early voting period.

“I was just numb, so we had tofight,” said Colbert, 62, whobecame a plaintiff in the lawsuitchallenging the North Carolinalaw. “I believe we are standing onthe shoulders of so many whodied before us for the opportuni-ty to vote. I grew up in the 1960s.This is not something I readabout in a book.”

In July, a federal appeals courtstruck down several parts of theNorth Carolina law, saying they“target African Americans withalmost surgical precision.”Republican officials have saiddiscrimination was not theirintent. A divided U.S. SupremeCourt declined in August to takeup the case.

Texas officials have agreed tospend $2.5 million on voter out-reach before Election Day as partof an agreement to amend itsvoter ID law after a court found itdiscriminated against minoritiesand the poor.

Elsewhere, an effort byDemocrats in Ohio to restore“golden week,” when peoplecould register and cast ballots atthe same time, failed after theU.S. Supreme Court declined tointervene. Earlier this week, afederal judge ordered NorthDakota to return to a system ithad in place before theRepublican-led Legislatureimposed a tougher voter IDrequirement four years ago; vot-ers there who do not have astate-required photo ID can onceagain sign an affidavit swearingthey are a qualified voter.

An ongoing Kansas court fighthas focused on whether a groupof as many as 50,000 residentscould vote because they did notsubmit citizenship documents,as required under state law,when registering at motor vehicleoffices or with a federal form.Federal courts had previouslyordered the state to count theirvotes in federal elections. Thesecretary of state’s office hadsought to toss out their votes instate and local races — some-

thing a state judge has sinceblocked.

Confusion also persists inWisconsin, which has been inturmoil since Republican law-makers backed a voter ID law in2011.

It was initially blocked by thecourts, then went into effect forthe presidential primary inApril. In July, a federal judge leftthe voter ID requirement inplace for the fall contest butstruck down more than a dozenother election changes, includ-ing limits on early voting hoursand locations.

It’s been estimated that asmany as 300,000 Wisconsin vot-ers may not have the requiredphoto ID. Molly McGrath, withthe national group VoteRiders,has been working with homelesspeople and others to make surethey have the proper ID and areregistered to vote.

“There’s a tremendous amountof unawareness and confusionabout the law,” McGrath said.“You can’t help but think: Is thisconfusion a bug or part of the

Obama says Trump should visit new African-American museum

RePuBliCAn PResidenTiAl candidate Donald Trump speaks at the ShaleInsight Conference, Thursday, in Pittsburgh.

WASHINGTON (AP) — PresidentBarack Obama scolded DonaldTrump for his bleak description ofthe African-American communityas recent police shootings of blackmen — and the violent proteststhat followed them — inject sensi-tive questions about race into thepresidential contest.

America’s first black presidenttook issue with the Republicannominee’s suggestion this weekthat “African-American communi-ties are absolutely in the worstshape than they’ve ever been inbefore, ever, ever, ever.”

“I think even most 8 year oldswould tell you that whole slaverything wasn’t very good for blackpeople. Jim Crow wasn’t very goodfor black people,” Obama said inan interview that aired Friday onABC’s “Good Morning America.”

The Democratic presidentencouraged Trump to visitWashington’s new SmithsonianNational Museum of AfricanAmerican History and Culture,where the ABC interview was con-ducted.

“What we have to do is use ourhistory to propel us to make evenmore progress in the future,”Obama said.

The comments come as Trumpworks to strike a delicate balanceon the campaign trail. He’s tryingto show law-and-order toughnessalong with empathy for African-Americans amid criticism his cam-paign inspires racism.

The New York businessman hassent mixed and at times unclearmessages that could rankleAfrican-Americans even as he

called Thursday for a nation unit-ed in “the spirit of togetherness.”

“The rioting in our streets is athreat to all peaceful citizens andit must be ended and ended now,”he declared at a rally in suburbanPhiladelphia on Thursday night.He added: “The main victims ofthese violent demonstrations arelaw-abiding African-Americanswho live in these communitiesand only want to raise their chil-dren in safety and peace.”

Earlier in the day, however,Trump seemed to suggest thatprotesters outraged by the police

shootings of black men wereunder the influence of drugs.

“If you’re not aware, drugs are avery, very big factor in what you’rewatching on television at night,”he said at an energy conference inPittsburgh.

Neither Trump nor Clinton isexpected to campaign on Fridayas they prepare for Monday’sinaugural debate.

Clinton’s campaign released anad Friday seizing on some ofTrump’s public insults of womenover the years. The ad raises thequestion: “Is this the president we

want for our daughters?”In the ad, Trump’s words play

as young women look in the mir-ror, including “She’s a slob. Sheate like a pig” and “A person whois flat-chested, it’s very hard to bea 10.”

Clinton hopes to capitalize onvoters’ wariness about Trump’sno-holds-barred approach. A newAP-GfK poll found that early threein four registered voters do notview him as even somewhat civilor compassionate. Half say he’s atleast somewhat racist.

Even among those saying they’ll

most likely vote for Trump, 40percent say they think the word“compassionate” doesn’t describehim well.

Trump’s temperament, and hiscomments about women andminorities, is expected to come upin Monday’s nationally televisedfaceoff — especially amid escalat-ing racial tensions in many com-munities following the policeshootings of black men inOklahoma and North Carolina.

Charlotte, North Carolina wasunder a midnight curfewovernight after two previous

nights of chaotic protests that ledto one death as well as injuries,arrests and vandalism.

Trump has spent the last sever-al weeks asking black Americansfor their support and assertingthat Obama has failed the blackcommunity, but those appealshave been undermined at times.

On Thursday, the Trump cam-paign accepted the resignation ofan Ohio volunteer, MahoningCounty chair Kathy Miller, whotold the Guardian newspaper, “Idon’t think there was any racismuntil Obama got elected.”

Brooks, Freeman lead list of award winners at White HouseWASHINGTON (AP) — President

Barack Obama on Thursday paidtribute to actor Mel Brooks, chefJose Andres, NPR interviewerTerry Gross and others at a WhiteHouse ceremony celebrating “cre-ators who give every piece of them-selves to their craft.”

The three were among two dozenartists, writers, playwrights andperformers awarded the 2015National Medals of Arts andHumanities. Obama touted thegroup, which also included authorSandra Cisneros, composer Philip

Glass and singer Audra McDonald,as figures at the top of their fieldsand contributors to a national con-versation.

“We believe that arts and thehumanities are in many waysreflective of our national soul.They’re central to who we are asAmericans — dreamers, storyteller,innovators and visionaries,” hesaid.

The annual event is typically aserious affair, held under the glit-tering chandeliers of the EastRoom. But it took a quick comic

turn this year when Obama paidtribute to Brooks by quoting thecomic director’s instructions to hiswriters on the boundary-pushingfilm, “Blazing Saddles.”

“Write anything you wantbecause we’ll never be heard fromagain. We will all be arrested forthis movie,” Obama said, laughing.

The president also honored jazzmusician Wynton Marsalis andactor Morgan Freeman. Neitherwas able to attend the ceremony.Freeman was “undoubtedly offplaying a black president.”

WV sweeps BearettesBy JOE CANNON

Banner Assistant Sports Editor

Although she says she alwaysgets uneasy returning to heralma mater, Walker Valley headvolleyball coach Judy Pruett wasat ease Thursday evening, afterher Lady Mustangs sweptBradley Central.

“It’s always good to be able tocome in here (Jim Smiddy Arena)and get a win,” the veteran coachrelated after the 25-11, 25-20,25-11 outcome.

“Having played and coachedhere for so many years, I alwaysget a little nervous when wecome in here,” Pruett explained.“We played a close match withthem the first time this year (in“The Stable”), so I wasn’t surewhat to expect tonight.”

“Our girls were more focusedtonight on what we needed to doin both the varsity and JVmatch,” she assessed.

Now 8-2 on the season, theLady Mustangs claimed the jun-ior varsity match as well by a 25-16, 25-21 tally, and will play in aJV Tournament at Red Bank thisweekend.

With a current 13-9 overall

and 7-3 District 5-AAA mark, thevarsity Walker Valley squad willwrap up the regular season witha pair of home matches nextweek with Soddy-Daisy comingin Tuesday, while East Hamiltonwill visit Thursday for SeniorNight.

The District 5-AAATournament will also be in “TheStable” Oct. 3-5.

Bradley Central (6-23, 1-9) willbe involved in a pair of SeniorNights next week — its ownTuesday when McMinn Centralcomes to town, and ClevelandHigh’s at Raider Arena Thursday.

Walker Valley took controlearly Thursday night, overcom-ing a 4-2 deficit with a 6-0 runbehind the serving of KateEssenberg.

Following up with a 9-2 spurtto push the lead to double digits,the visitors finished off the open-ing set with four of the final fivepoints.

The only competitive battle ofthe evening came in the secondset, when Bradley opened withsix of the first seven points,including back-to-back blocks by

The sting of a loss to WalkerValley just may have been theshot in the arm Clevelandneeded to perk the LadyRaiders up on the volleyballcourt.

Since that time, Clevelandrebounded with a straight setwin over Soddy-Daisy andrepeated the feat Thursdayagainst Ooltewah during PinkNight festivities supporting theMary Ellen Locher

Foundation.The Lady Raiders (19-8, 9-1

District 5-AAA) battled to 25-22, 25-23 and 25-20 wins overthe Lady Owls (24-11, 9-2) tosweep the season series andtake possession of first placein District 5-3A with two dis-trict games left on the sched-ule. The victory broke the tie atthe top of the standings, givingCleveland the outright leadwith two district tilts left toplay.

“We still have two districtmatches next week, East

Hamilton and Senior Nightagainst Bradley, but we are infirst right now. This win guar-antees we are in first for themoment, but we still havesome volleyball to play. Wehave big tournaments thisweekend in Franklin and nextweekend in Nashville,” saidLady Raiders coach TrishFlowers, whose Lady Raiderscontrol their own destiny forcontrol of the top seed in theupcoming district tournament.

The Lady Raiders have beat-en both the Lady Hurricanes

and Bearettes this season.It was not the best effort for

Cleveland this season, accord-ing to Flowers. The Lady Owlsdid all they could to preventthe sweep, but Clevelandpushed into the lead at pivotalmoments and snatched justenough momentum to pull offthe 3-0 win.

’Stangs sweep district golf titlesBy JOE CANNON

Banner Assistant Sports Editor

HARRISON BAY — Claiming both District5-AAA golf championships Thursday, WalkerValley advanced to the region tournament forthe 11th straight season, having done soevery season since Coach Bob Williams tookover the program.

“It’s the sixth straight (district crown) forthe girls and the boys have won back-to-backtitles,” related the veteran links and basket-ball mentor.

“The girls had an easier time of it than weexpected, but the boys only won by a stroke.That’s the thing about golf, you never know.Some days everything goes great and othersit’s a struggle. You just have to have yourgood days when it counts the most.”

While the “Fillies” breezed to a 15-strokevictory over county rival Bradley Central, theMustangs had to hold off McMinn County bya 318-319 tally at the Bear Trace Course atHarrison Bay this time around, while a bit ofhonesty gave third place to East Hamiltonwith a 338.

When the scores were posted, ClevelandHigh was in third place with a 334, led byCade Caprara with a 7-over-par 79, giving

the Blue Raiders the third automatic regionqualifying spot. However, the senior realizedhe had signed an incorrect scorecard andturned in his mistake, not only giving thefinal team spot to East Hamilton, but effec-tively ending his prep career as the disquali-fication prevents him from advancing as anindividual player as well.

“My guys (the Raiders) didn't have theirbest rounds today, but it looked like we werestill going to be able to advance, especiallywhen Cade came in and posted a 79,”explained Cleveland coach Nick Cantrell.“However, he turned himself in for signing anincorrect scorecard by a couple of strokes,which disqualified him. Without his score, wefell out of the Top 3.

“He did the right thing by correcting hismistake. I know that wasn't the easiest thingto do, but it was the right thing to do,” thecoach assessed.

The Region 3-AAA event will be heldThursday back at Bear Trace with boys andgirls teams from Cookeville, Warren andWhite counties representing District 6-AAA,plus a total of 10 players from non-qualifyingteams will also compete for an individual spotin the TSSAA State Championships.

“The Cookeville boys and White County

girls won their district tournaments at theDayton Country Club today (yesterday),”commented Coach Williams. “The Cookevilleboys are really tough and the White Countygirls have been good all year long.”

Joining the Mustangs, Cherokees andHurricanes at the region will be a trio ofBears — Gage Brakebill (75), Alex Kyle (81)and Tyler Ferguson (87) — as well as RaidersDrew Linkous and Allen Swetman, who bothshot 83 Thursday to advance as individualqualifiers.

While the Lady Mustangs (153) andBearettes (168) claimed the top two spotsamong the girls, Soddy-Daisy (170) earnedthe final team slot.

Cleveland all-stater Rheagan Hall (82) andfreshman teammate Ellie Mills (99) claimedtwo of the individual slots.

“Rheagan didn't get off to a great start onthe front nine, but rebounded well on theback,” Coach Cantrell said of her 44-38 tally.

“It's great see Ellie play well enough toadvance and experience the region tourna-ment as a freshman. She has been more con-sistent and improved as the year has pro-gressed. That's what you hope for with a

Most folks remember ClaudeClimer for having served 36 yearsas the County Court Clerk,where we all handed him ourmoney for new license plates ordecals each year.

However, many of the old-timerswill remember his playing days atBradley Central for coach Wendell

Sullivan, and the unfortunateaccident that cost him his leg.

America was still recoveringfrom World War II and here was ayoung man wanting to play foot-ball who literally didnot know the differ-ence between offenseand defense.

The first time heever saw a footballgame was a 7-6Bradley win overRossville, Ga., and heknew that football wasthe game for him.

Assistant coach“Bozo” Baker discouraged himfrom playing but Claude toldCoach Baker to draw up someplays for him to study so that he

could be a part of the Bear foot-ball team.

Jackson’s goal enough for FlamesFrom LEE SPORTS INFORMATION

Drew Jackson struck a bulletinto the corner of the net in theeighth minute and the Lee men’ssoccer team held off a deter-mined North Georgia club late towin 1-0 on Thursday evening onthe Lee Soccer Field.

Jackson’s third goal of the sea-son was set up by Jose Orellana,who now has three assists on theseason.

“Quade (Marinell) played areally good ball to me and I foundJose and he laid it back off to meand I just tried to do my job,” saidJackson after the match. “It feelsgreat to win these last three.Hopefully we can grab anotherwin this weekend and take somemomentum into conference play.”

Freshman keeper DanielHrenko notched his secondstraight shutout for the Flamesas he had seven saves and with-stood 15 shots, including 10 inthe second half, from theNighthawks. The Tampa, Florida,native is now 3-0 on the seasonand has yielded just one goal.

“For a freshman he plays witha lot of maturity and has a lot ofconfidence,” noted head coachPaul Furey when asked about hisgoalkeeper. “He has stepped inand done a really nice job for usover the last few matches and hereally earned the shutouttonight.”

Lee fired 19 shots and placedsix on target. Michael Samniktallied five saves and held theFlames off the board after theearly score to keep theNighthawks in the contest.

In what proved to be a pivotalturning point, North Georgia

appeared to tie things with a goalright at the horn to end the firsthalf. The referee waved off thegoal however, and video replayconfirmed that the score was asecond too late.

“I thought we played a reallygood first half and probablyshould have had a second goalbut we weren’t quite able to fin-ish,” said Furey. “They were justa second away from equalizingthere at the end of the first halfand they really outplayed us inthe second but this was a goodnight for us to battle throughoutand hang on for the win.”

Both teams had plenty of scor-ing chances as Lee earned eightcorners in the match while the

Nighthawks took nine.The Flames improve to 4-3 on

the year and will ride a threematch winning streak into Ohioto take on Cedarville and wrapup the non-conference portion ofthe schedule on Saturday at 7p.m. The loss drops NorthGeorgia to 3-5.

“We’ve got a little momentumright now with three straight — itwould be nice to get four in arow,” remarked Furey. “I’m veryfamiliar with Cedarville from timecoaching in Ohio, and it’s alwaysa great environment to play upthere, so we are looking forwardto the challenge, and it should bea good test for us as we preparefor a tough conference schedule.”

Cleveland played from behindearly in all three sets and openedthe night with back-to-back serv-ice errors. The Lady Raidersquickly found themselves down12-8 to the Lady Owls and foughtto stay close, eventually tying thegame at 17-17 on a pair ofRenshaw aces.

“We got it (momentum) backquicker tonight (than we usuallydo). I felt like we called timeoutsat the right times. Sometimes wegive them the benefit of thedoubt, and we wait and call atimeout and it’s a little bit toolate,” said Flowers. “I think theloss to Walker Valley just sharp-ened all of us, so we don’t getcomplacent.

“We have a lot of experience onthe court and I feel we couldmake it further than anyCleveland team has ever done. Wehave had stronger players comethrough our program in the pastbut this is probably the mostheight we’ve had at one time, andthe most hitters we’ve had at onetime.

No. 14 Vols face stiff test againstNo. 19 Florida Gators’ defense

KNOXVILLE (AP) — Tennesseecoach Butch Jones has faced oneeventual national champion, twoother College Football Playoffsemifinalists and another teamthat reached the BCS champi-onship game since his arrival inKnoxville.

But he doesn’t believe any of hisTennessee teams have evermatched up against a defense aspotent as the one they’ll encounterSaturday when the 14th-rankedVolunteers (3-0, 0-0 SEC) host No.19 Florida (3-0, 1-0).

“This is probably the bestdefense we have faced since Ihave been here,” Jones said.“They make you earn everythingthat you get.”

Florida is allowing the fewestpoints (4.7) and yards (129.7) per

game of any Football BowlSubdivision team. The Gators alsohave an FBS-leading 16 sacks.

The Gators haven’t given up atouchdown pass all season andare allowing opponents to com-plete just 34 percent of their passattempts. In a 32-0 victory overNorth Texas last week, Floridagave up 53 total yards, the lowesttotal the Gators have everallowed in a single game.

“We’ve just been motivated toreally hold ourselves to a higherstandard and just show every-body across the nation that we’renot coming to play any funnygames,” Florida linebackerJarrad Davis said. “We’re comingto really do what we do and dom-inate and put ourselves out thereas the best defense and the best

team in the nation.”Tennessee had some success

last year moving the ball in a 28-27 loss to Florida , which finishedthe 2015 season ranked eighthnationally in total defense. TheVols outrushed Florida 254-109.

But the Vols realize they’ll befacing a much stronger defensethis time.

“I don’t want to take anythingaway from last year’s (Florida)defense, but I believe thisdefense is a lot better,”Tennessee offensive coordinatorMike DeBord said. “I believe thatnot only have they got great play-ers over there, but I think they’replaying more physical overthere.”

Florida’s defense has noapparent weaknesses.

Up front, Florida is allowingjust 1.3 yards per carry and hasfive different players with at leasttwo sacks. Jones calls Davis oneof the nation’s best linebackers.Jalen Tabor and Quincy Wilsonare exceptional cover cornerswho can cover just about anyoneone-on-one.

“The numbers, they speak forthemselves,” Tennessee quarter-back Joshua Dobbs said.“They’re physical up front, andthey play a lot of man in the backend. They run to the ball reallywell.”

Florida coach Jim McElwaincredits predecessor WillMuschamp, now at SouthCarolina, for assembling many ofthe players who comprise thisdefense.

“What I like is how hardthey’re playing, but more thanthat, how disciplined and howwell they’re playing together,”McElwain said. “It’s just great tosee.”

That defense has spent muchof the week focusing on how itcan better contain Dobbs.

In last year’s meeting withFlorida, Dobbs only threw for 83yards, but he ran for 136 yardsand also had a 58-yard touch-down reception. Dobbs becamethe first FBS player since 2003 tolead his team in passing, rushingand receiving in a single game.

“We had guys trying to do toomuch,” McElwain said. “And, notas an excuse, this guy is a goodplayer, so he makes you lookbad. He’s a great player, and we

never stopped him an ounce lastyear.”

Tennessee’s task will be mak-ing sure Dobbs gets enough pro-tection. The Vols’ offensive linehas struggled thus far and nowfaces its toughest test of the sea-son.

The Vols had guard JackJones replace Drew Richmond inthe starting lineup and had threeother linemen switch positionslast week, but they still gave upthree sacks in a 28-19 victoryover Ohio. Tennessee’s line couldget a boost this week from theanticipated return of ChanceHall, who started the Vols’ finalseven games at right tackle lastseason but hasn’t played sinceundergoing arthroscopic kneesurgery last month.

position in those days with manylow-scoring games won by play-ing for field position.

In 1949, Chattanooga Central,the Bears’ most bitter rival at thetime, came to Jimmy Lovell fieldto take on Coach Sullivan’sBears.

Central’s coach at the timewas the legendary E.B. “Red”Etter, who retired in 1983 withthe most football coaching winsin Tennessee high school footballhistory, and is still fifth all-time.

It was an extremely big dealfor the Pounders and Bears tocollide with some of the largestcrowds in the two schools’ his-tory watching them battle itout.

That year’s game would beplayed on Thursday, Oct. 27,due to a teacher’s meeting onFriday and it would turn out tobe the last game of juniorClimer’s Bear career.

A scoreless first half beganwith the Bears taking the ball inthe third quarter but failing toachieve a first down and havingto punt.

Claude was the safety valve asthe punter, and the last man tostop the punt returner if he gotpast the other Bears.

That was the case on this par-ticular punt and as Climerhemmed in the ball carrier alongthe sideline, a Central playerblind-sided him behind his rightknee, freeing the ball carrier fora touchdown run.

The scoreboard would show afinal of 14-0 and a Central win,but it would be irrelevant toeveryone attending the game.

Climer was attended to on thesidelines by the Bear trainer,Dr. S.J. Sullivan (brother ofCoach Sullivan) and was takento P&S (Physicians andSurgeons) Hospital which thenstood on Inman Street nearwhere the museum center islocated today.

X-rays miraculously revealedno broken bones, but the intensepain caused by ligaments andarteries that were shredded wasalmost unbearable.

Climer was taken to Erlanger

Hospital in Chattanooga onSunday, Oct. 30, after his legturned black from lack of bloodcirculation due to the rupturedarteries.

On Monday, Halloween Day,Dr. Higginbotham, his attendingphysician, gave Claude the grimnews that they would have toamputate his right leg about sixinches above the knee.

The operation was performedand Claude was back in schoolin three weeks’ time.

Before leaving Erlanger, hewould meet Bill McKenzie, theplayer who blocked him frombehind and who extended awholehearted apology.

Coach Red Etter along withassistant Coach Farmer,McKenzie and other Centralplayers presented a signed gameball to Claude which he still hasand cherishes to this day.

Claude shrugged off the playas unfortunate but an uninten-tional accident that could hap-pen to anyone. He merely want-ed to get back into the routine ofhigh school and accept the handthat life had dealt him.

Claude was honored with a‘Climer Night’ at the homecom-ing game where his future wife,Dolores Kile, would be crownedHomecoming Queen.

They had first met at Bradleywhen Claude randomly drew hername during a school activityperiod.

Before that happened, Claudedid not know her and asked afriend to point her out to himbecause drawing her namemeant that he would have to buyher a Christmas gift that year.

He was chagrined that he haddrawn a girls’ name but one lookat her was all it took for him tofall in love.

After 63 years of marriageDolores passed away in October2015. Claude referred to hislovely bride as his “angel withoutwings.” Together they had threesons and seven grandchildren.

Money was raised for Claudeand he secured enough for ascholarship to attend watch-making school in Clinton.

He became so proficient atrepairing watches and clocks athis new shop in Cleveland thathe decided he wanted to get intosomething with less hours sothat it would provide him moretime to spend with his youngwife.

After a lot of coercing from hisbusiness associates, he wastalked into running for the

County Court Clerk position.After getting elected, he served

in the position for 36 years, cov-ering over four decades.

He is still the longest-servingelected official in Bradley Countyhistory.

This is just one of the manygreat stories and life lessonsfrom another member of theBEAR NATION!

Somewhere out there, “they” are at itagain.

Depending on your point of view,they are either the laziest bunch ofhooligans on the planet or a ship offools sailing at warp speed toward aniceberg.

They do too much. They don’t doenough. They are wasteful. They arecheap. The only thing they seem to doconsistently is get under our skin. Ourcriticism of “they” is endless.

This begs the question: Who are they?I’m not sure what the answer is, but I

think they are everyone but you and me.I treat the comments section on

Facebook the way I treat a wreck whenI pass by. I don’t want to look, and Ialways feel miserable after I do, butmany times I do nonetheless.

This morning, I saw a post about theimpending demolition of a vacant for-mer restaurant building here in town

and plans to build a new bank branchin its place.

Perfectly and predictably on cue,here came the comments.

“They should put the old restaurantback.”

“They should put in a Krispy Kreme.”“We don’t need another bank. Why

are they putting one in?”They should do this.They should do that.We love to complain. We love to pro-

claim how it should be done if we weredoing it, instead of hushing our mouthsand doing something about it our-

selves.Solve a problem rather than lay

blame. That’s a pretty novel idea, isn’tit?

In a former job several years ago, Ifound myself suddenly transferred to anew department with the task of super-vising about a half-dozen employees.

None of these employees saw me ascapable of doing the job, and I don’tblame them. I had no training or expe-rience. And to further complicatethings, I had never supervised anyone.

I knew I would have to fly by the seatof my pants and hope we didn’tencounter any catastrophic problemsuntil I figured out what was going on.

Early that first week, I scheduled ameeting after work. I ordered in food,because using food to bribe someoneisn’t bribery. It’s a free meal.

I am sure I got up and told them howexcited I was to be in this new position.

I probably laid it on pretty thick as Italked about aspirations, goals andimprovements I knew we would allachieve by working together.

Then, I made what I thought wouldbe a well-received statement whichwould empower my people and makethem realize how important they wereto me and the organization.

“When something goes wrong,” Ideclared, “I want you to bring me solu-tions, not problems.”

I cannot express to you how badlythat statement bombed. The disbeliefon their faces was stunning. I don’trecall what I said next, but I do remem-ber adjourning us pretty quickly afterthat.

Looking back, I don’t blame them.Had I been in their shoes I would’vehad the same look on my face. We don’twant to solve problems. We want tocomplain about what they did and how

badly they messed up in the process.And then, we want someone else to

fix it.I know a guy who used to be presi-

dent of a fairly large company.Hundreds of people in town would’vetraded places with him. But he oncetold me his title should be ChiefComplaint Taker. He left that job soonafter that, and I know why.

He was a doer; and he wasn’t cut outto grease squeaky wheels all day.

He’s pretty connected here in town.The next time I see him I may ask himwhy they aren’t fixing that old restau-rant.

I’m sure he will say, “Who are they?”———

DEARANNIE

TODAY IN HISTORY

How refreshing it is, afterweeks and months offaux Clinton Foundation

“scandals,” after all the fatuousmedia talk about “optics” and“perceptions,” to finally have areal foundation scandal tochew on. An actual example ofpay-to-play, of money givenand a favor granted. And itcomes to us courtesy ofDonald Trump.

The Washington Post has donemost of the spadework, but mostof the so-called “liberal” mediahas inexplicably ignored it.Fortunately, Trump himselfpumped some oxygen into thestory when he denied any and allwrongdoing.

Three years ago, the Donald J.Trump Foundation, the family’snonprofit charity, gave a $25,000campaign contribution to a groupthat flacked for Florida AttorneyGeneral Pam Bondi. That dona-tion was illegal because nonprof-its are barred by the IRS from giv-ing money to political campaigns.And at the time the illegal dona-tion was made, Bondi was decid-ing whether to go to bat for all theFloridians who had been alleged-ly bilked by the phony TrumpUniversity. Should she join thestate of New York’s class actionlawsuit, or not?

Trump’s foundation sent themoney to Bondi. A month later,Bondi decided not to prosecuteTrump University. She claimedthat her office had received onlyone complaint. That was a lie.More than 60 aggrievedFloridians had sought her help,hoping to recoup their moneyfrom the scam school.

The donation, followed by thedecision not to prosecute ... whattiming! By the way, you mayremember Bondi’s gig at theRepublican convention inCleveland. She was the one whospoke in rapt terms about cham-pioning the rule of law.

It gets worse. After The Postand a citizens watchdog groupraised [cane] earlier this year, theTrump Foundation paid a fine tothe IRS — right there, we have aproof of guilt, far beyond any ofthe Clinton “optics” and “percep-tions”— but the foundation stillinsisted that it had merely madewhat it called an “honest mis-take.” Supposedly, it had intend-ed to send the money to a chari-table group in Kansas that hadroughly the same name asBondi’s political committee, butgee, somehow the money went toBondi’s committee, not toKansas.

It gets even worse. Under IRSrules, the Trump Foundation issupposed to withdraw its illegaldonation. Bondi’s political grouphas tried to give it back; as thegroup’s treasurer told The Post, “Iwrote a check, sent it via FedEx.”But what happened next? “I

received a call from the TrumpFoundation, saying that they haddeclined to accept the refund.”

Which brings us to Trump’sremarks. He denied that he hadever tried to buy Bondi for$25,000 in the hopes that she’dleave Trump University alone. “Inever spoke to her, first of all.She’s a fine person beyondreproach,” Trump said. “I nevereven spoke to her about it at all.She’s a fine person. Never spoketo her about it. Never.”

Well, that was interesting.Because, just three months ago,Bondi political consultant Marc

Reichelderfertold TheA s s o c i a t e dPress thatBondi andTrump hadspoken — per-sonally, one onone — about apossible Trumpdonation. The

AP quoted Reichefelder on that,and referenced it in the openingparagraph of its June story, andneither Bondi or Trump denied it.

So was Trump lying when hesaid that he and Bondi “never”spoke about a donation thatturned out to be illegal? An illegaldonation that landed in Bondi’spolitical account shortly beforeshe decided to leave aggrievedFloridians high and dry — a deci-sion that benefited Trump aswell?

That’s how the game works —according to Trump himself. Yougive money to pols, you get polit-ical favors. In the summer of2015, he told The Wall StreetJournal, “As a businessman anda very substantial donor to veryimportant people, when you give,they do whatever the hell youwant them to do.”

When he was asked about thatstatement during a debate lastwinter, he replied, “You’d betterbelieve it.” And he said this, at arally in Iowa, “When I want some-thing, I get it. When I call, theykiss my ass.”

Now let’s try a little test.Reread all the aforementionedinfo, and replace Trump’s namewith Hillary Clinton’s. If she hadever concocted a fake schoolthat allegedly defrauded con-sumers, and if she had made anillegal political donation to anattorney general who then optednot to prosecute fraud, and if shehad tried to cover it up by insist-ing that the money was sup-posed to go to Kansas, and if shehad ever denied speaking withthat AG despite recent state-ments from an AG ally that she infact had spoken about a dona-tion? Well? The mainstreammedia would be banging on this24/7.

You know, for the sake of “bal-ance.” And that’s more disgrace-ful than Trump’s actual scandal.

(AP) — Today is Friday, Sept.23, the 267th day of 2016. Thereare 99 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History:On Sept. 23, 1846, Neptune

To The Editor:I was sorry to hear of the pass-

ing of Rico Blair. Thousands of adults and kids

in the Polk and Bradley Countyarea knew him from his officiat-ing in softball, basketball andfootball.

I had three children whoplayed elementary basketball inPolk County and Rico calledmany of their games. He wouldbe the only African-American inthe gym, but as soon as hewalked in the people who knewhim would start hollering, “HeyRico!” He would wave and smile

[with] that big smile of his andthe game was played withoutproblems.

I played in a lot of softballgames that Rico umped and Iwas always glad to see him walkonto the field. You knew thegame would be called fairly andthat Rico couldn’t be intimidatedor swayed by big-name teams oranybody in the stands.

Some officials don’t seem toenjoy officiating, but Ricoenjoyed calling games, and youcould tell. He enjoyed the rela-tionship with the players andhad respect for the game, proba-bly because he had been a playerhimself.

We had the Men’s IndependentBasketball League in PolkCounty for several years. It wasprobably the toughest thing to

officiate because the players usu-ally were [former] high schooland [former] college players whothought they never committedfouls. Rico called a lot of thosegames and was one of the bestwe had.

He would let the players gripea little and plea their case andjust smile, and that would satisfythe players. But if the player kepton Rico would say, “That’senough,” and it stopped.

Rico wasn’t an African-American man who happened tobe a good official, and he wasn’ta good official who happened tobe African-American. He was agood official who was a good guy.

Dear Annie: My wife’s nephewand his wife, “Susie,” moved fromOregon to Pennsylvania last yearfor him to go to graduate school.Recently, there was a collectorsshow that I was going to abouttwo hours from where they nowlive. I suggested to my wife that ifshe wanted to visit them, I coulddrop her off at their condoThursday afternoon and then goto the show. I returned Sundaymorning for us to leave for homeon Monday.

When we got back to theircondo, I noticed Susie standing inthe kitchen eating somethingfrom a bowl. She then went intothe living room to continue eat-ing. My wife has a restricted diet,and as she was getting out herlunch fixings, she asked hernephew whether there was somebread to make a sandwich. Aftersome digging, “Bob” did find acouple of pieces in the freezer. Ifound the dynamics a bit peculiarbut thought, “No big deal.”

Then, after we got back home,my wife told me about Bob andSusie’s breaking out the choco-late ice cream after I had gone tobed Sunday night. (Ice cream isnot part of my wife’s restricteddiet, and they knew it from theprevious day.) I feel that theirhandling of food and meals wasclueless, if not outright rude. Ihave no desire for a return visitbecause of that. When I men-tioned a future trip by their townnext summer, my wife said shewants to include a return visit. Ihave no desire to subject myselfto a repeat episode. Help. —Snubbed for Snacks

Dear Snubbed: I’m a little con-fused here. If it didn’t bother yourwife, the one with the food restric-tions, I’m not really sure why itbothered you. It’s her family andher diet restrictions, so I would lether take the lead as to whether ornot to go back. Also, if she’s on atightly restricted diet, it would bebest to pack snacks and smallmeals of her own when traveling.

Don’t ‘they’ know how miserable they’re making us?

Did you know? The arrival of cooler weather marks a prime time to plant bulbs that will bloom come spring and summer. Bulbs should be planted as soon as the ground is cool, ideally when temperatures average between 40 and 50 F. Just be sure to plant bulbs at least six weeks before the ground freezes for optimal success. Always follow the bulb distributor’s guidelines for planting, including suggestions regarding spacing and soil depth. Remove any weeds and loosen the soil to get started. In addition, think about mixing in compost or other organic matter to enrich the soil if it lacks nutrients.

8 p.m. on (WDEF)MacGyver

If you need someone to use a chocolate bar to stop an acid leak, MacGyver is still the man to call. This series reboot casts Lucas Till (“X-Men: First Class”) as the inventive hero ... less of a loner this time as he works with the U.S. government in the Department of External Affairs. George Eads (“CSI: Crime Scene Investigation”) plays ex-CIA man Jack Dalton, his partner. Tracy Spiri-dakos (“Revolution”) also appears in the premiere, “The Rising.”

9 p.m. on (WDEF)Hawaii Five-0

It’s hard to keep a wounded, recovering McGarrett (Alex O’Loughlin) down, as Danny (Scott Caan) learns in the premiere of the crime-drama reboot’s seventh sea-son, “Makaukau ’oe e Pa’ani?” (Hawaiian for “Ready to Play?”). Not only is a serial killer’s body delivered to Five-0 headquar-ters, it has a chess piece in its mouth — as does another murderer’s corpse, suggesting a vigilante is loose. Rosalind Chao begins recurring as Hawaii’s governor.

9:01 p.m. on (WTVC2)The Exorcist

A revision of both a best-selling novel and one of the all-time-classic horror movies, this new drama series — launching with “Chapter One: And Let My Cry Come Unto Thee” — stars Ben Daniels (“Flesh and Bone”) and Alfonso Herrera as priests try-ing to save a family from apparent demons. Oscar winner Geena Davis and Alan Ruck (“Ferris Bueller’s Day Off”) play the heads of the household, with Brianne Howey and Hannah Kasulka as their daughters.

10 p.m. on (WDEF)Blue Bloods

The police drama’s seventh season opens with “The Greater Good,” landing Danny (Donnie Wahlberg) on the witness stand before a prosecutor (guest star Michael Im-perioli, “The Sopranos”) who wants answers in Danny’s shooting of a serial killer. An of-ficer’s widow (guest star Lori Loughlin) asks Frank (Tom Selleck) to dissuade her son (guest star David Castro) from becoming a cop. Jamie and Eddie (Will Estes, Vanessa Ray) deal with a drunk driver who’s famous.

10 p.m. on (SYFY)Van Helsing

This new horror-action series opens by reprising “Help Me,” which the channel sneaked in July and introduces Vanessa Helsing (Kelly Overton), daughter of the leg-endary vampire hunter of “Dracula” fame, who comes back from the dead to lead hu-mans against their bloodsucking overlords. “Seen You,” which immediately follows, is a flashback episode that provides background on Vanessa and how she reached this point in her destiny.

Review: In ‘Storks,’ a dormant baby delivery firmBy JAKE COYLEAP Film Writer

The question of “Where dobabies come from?” has beenanswered, throughout movie his-tory, with some unsavory charac-ters. In the case of “Rosemary’sBaby,” a demonic neighbor was toblame. In “Knocked Up,” it wasSeth Rogen’s doing. The truthcan hurt.

But evading the query has itsown lineage, too, and in “Storks,”the cop-out answer — one I sus-pect most toddlers don’t even buy— has been given the full animat-ed movie treatment. “Storks,” atleast, has the sense to tweak theold myth (the folklore of baby-delivering storks goes back beforeHans Christian Anderson andruns all the way to “Dumbo”) andimagine the large birds more likeAmazon delivery drones.

The storks, from their remoteisland enclave, have given up thebaby business to embrace themore lucrative line of onlinesales. Now they deliver things likenew cellphones to equally expec-tant customers, a flock right out

of Jeff Bezos’ own heart.A cutthroat corporate environ-

ment has also replaced a morenatural habitat. Junior (AndySamberg) is a company birddevoted to pleasing his suit-cladCEO (Kelsey Grammer). But hispromotion is jeopardized when hefails to carry out an order to firethe place’s lone human worker,Tulip (Katie Crown), an orphanbaby now grown and mostlywrecking the assembly lines.

You’d assume a movie aboutstorks would inevitably be aboutparenting, but the film, directedby Nicholas Stoller and DougSweetland, is more about main-taining a work-family balance.Junior begins questioning hisworkplace allegiance while heand Tulip, having accidentallyput the baby-making machineryback into action, desperately tryto deliver a wished-for baby.

The baby request comes, byletter, from the lonely son (AntonStarkman) of an overworked real-tor couple (Jennifer Aniston, TyBurrell). In a nice touch, theywork from home, a conveniencethat has nevertheless obliterated

their home life. “We never stop” istheir mantra, one countless par-ents today can surely easily iden-tify with. Their boy taunts them:“I’ll be in college in the blink of aneye.”

If there was more inquiry intothis part of “Storks,” the film mayhave found its emotional core.But instead, the bumbling questof Junior and Tulip takes prece-dent, as they elude things like apack of baby-smitten wolves.(Their leaders are voiced byKeegan-Michael Key and JordanPeele.)

Stoller, a comedy filmmaker(“Neighbors,” ‘’Forgetting SarahMarshall”) making his animateddebut, and Sweetland, a veteranPixar animator, come from differ-ent worlds and the mix of humorand sentiment doesn’t quite gel.

On the other hand, Samberg inbird-form is surprisingly true toSamberg the human. To a degreerare in animated movies, “Storks”has assimilated Samberg’s comicsensibility in PG form. His Junioris goofy, self-deprecating andsweet, and says things like “Coolbeans.”

Review: ‘The Magnificent Seven’ rides againBy LINDSEY BAHR

AP Film Writer

Deciding to remake “TheMagnificent Seven “ with a freshbatch of movie stars is certainly nosin. John Sturges’ 1960 tome,itself a remake of Akira Kurosawa’sclassic “Seven Samurai,” is a funconfection of star power andcharismatic bravado, sure, butheld in such high esteem probablymore because of Elmer Bernstein’siconic score than anything else.Plus, who doesn’t enjoy a ragtaggroup of outlaws banding togetherto defeat a powerful bully?

But director Antoine Fuquadoesn’t exactly elevate that nowwell-trod premise in this dutifuland solid rehashing of the sevengunmen who attempt to save a ter-rorized town, even if he does up theshoot-em-up action (and bodycount). Bernstein’s score is given afew nods throughout the film, butsaved in full for the final credits.Thus, it’s left to the actors to carryus through the over two-hour run-ning time.

You could do worse than puttingit all in the capable hands ofDenzel Washington, with somehelp from Chris Pratt. Washington,as the steely-eyed bounty hunterSam Chisolm, is the de factoleader, the Yul Brynner of thegroup. His out-of-use heart startsbeating again when the recentlywidowed Emma Cullen (HaleyBennett) begs him to return to hersmall farming town of Rose Creekto save them from the terror ofgreedy industrialist BartholomewBogue, played with delicious, over-the-top menace by PeterSarsgaard.

Bogue is running a mining oper-ation nearby and wants their land,too. He’ll either pay the residents ofRose Creek an unfairly low pricefor it or force them to leave (alreadya less compelling idea than takingthe food they’ve grown, but this

“farming town” does very littlefarming anyway). Fuqua takes notime easing into the story, startingout with an all-out massacre in thetown.

For about an hour, things arefairly fun as Chisolm recruits theother six. Pratt’s Josh Faraday isthe first up — a bemused gamblerwith enemies to spare and a fond-ness for whiskey who signs up forthe mission to try to win back hishorse. They find a legendary CivilWar vet Goodnight Robicheaux(Ethan Hawke) and his blade-wielding buddy Billy Rocks(Byung-hun Lee) — who gets to puthis own spin on the memorablegun vs. knife duel.

There’s the bearlike, shell-shocked tracker Jack Horne(Vincent D’Onofrio), the Mexicangunslinger Vasquez (ManuelGarcia-Rulfo) and an exiled NativeAmerican, Red Harvest (MartinSensmeier). It’s a delightfullydiverse little group, but unfortu-nately the script, credited to “TrueDetective” creator Nic Pizzolattoand “The Equalizer” scribe RichardWenk, doesn’t spend much timegetting to know these men. What is

there isn’t nearly clever, funny orinsightful enough to make up forthat. It felt like no one ever quiteagreed on what the tone should be.Fun? Nihilistic? Folksy?Irreverent? Sincere? It’s all over theplace and it’s not good. The actorsdo their best, but when even Prattstruggles to sell a joke, you knowyou’re in trouble.

All dialogue, however, getsdrowned out eventually as themovie gives way to the extremelylong and frustratingly illogical finalshowdown with a Marvel-sizedbody count that nonetheless pro-vides some exhilarating momentsfor Washington, Pratt and a fewothers. The pieces are there butnever quite come together. By thetime Bernstein’s score plays andthe credits start rolling, it’s a littletoo late to do anything besidesmake you even more nostalgic forwhat came before.

“The Magnificent Seven,” a SonyPictures release, is rated PG-13 bythe Motion Picture Association ofAmerica for “extended and intensesequences of Western violence, andfor historical smoking, some lan-guage and suggestive material.”

Out of the limelight, and sometimes in secret, a small corpsof former U.S. diplomats and intelligence officials, often working with academic specialists, meet regu-larly with high-ranking North Koreans. They discuss everything from the details of North Korea's nuclearprogram to the concerns on the effects of international trade sanctions on Pyongyang.

WASHINGTON (AP) —Americans are more likelyto trust Hillary Clinton thanDonald Trump to handle avariety of issues facing thecountry, even when itcomes to national securitytopics that have been amajor focus of his cam-paign, according to a newAssociated Press-GfK poll.

Almost diplomacy:

U.S. ex-officials, N. Koreans quietly meetThe Associated Press

Officially, the United Statesand North Korea barely speak toeach other, their communicationsoften limited to public exchangesof insults.

The U.S. ambassador in Seoulis “a villain, a crazy person,” aNorth Korean diplomat says.North Korea is a “wasteland”compared to South Korea,President Obama tells the UnitedNations.

But out of the limelight, andsometimes in secret, a smallcorps of former U.S. diplomatsand intelligence officials, oftenworking with academic special-ists, meet regularly with high-ranking North Koreans. Theyhave sat down in Singapore,Berlin, Beijing and elsewhere todiscuss everything from thedetails of North Korea’s nuclearprogram to concerns about theeffects of international tradesanctions on Pyongyang. Theyhave talked about the growingsecurity fears in Washington,Seoul and Tokyo, and about thetiming of North Korean missiletests.

If it’s not quite diplomacy, itsometimes gets pretty close.

“The North Koreans under-stand that we’re in no way repre-senting the United States govern-ment. So sometimes, we can raisethings that the U.S. governmentisn’t able to,” said Leon V. Sigal, aformer State Department policyofficial and long a key player inwhat are commonly called Track2 talks. “I can say to them, ‘Hey,this is why the U.S. governmentis doing this.’ And then probe andsay to them: ‘Look, what you’redoing is not going to work. Howabout this?’”

The two countries did quietlyhold a series of discussions,apparently late last year, butthose came to nothing. Sincethen, North Korea has staged twonuclear tests and a flurry of mis-sile tests, building an increasing-ly sophisticated arsenal, butthere have been no known directcommunications betweenWashington and Pyongyang.

While Track 2 talks are com-mon between rival countries —Indian academics, for instance,

regularly meet with theirPakistani counterparts — theNorth Korean discussions areoften seen as a key part ofWashington-Pyongyang relations.

To critics, the Track 2 NorthKorea meetings are a waste oftime. Or worse, they allowPyongyang to claim the high road— insisting it’s seeking an avenueto peace — despite its years ofcheating on past deals.

But John Delury, a professor atYonsei University in Seoul, saidthat with communicationbetween North Korea and theU.S. almost non-existent, Track 2talks have become a placeholderfor government-to-governmentdiscussions. Informal talks are “away for the North Koreans to sendindirect messages,” he said, andtry out ideas they may be hesitantto suggest in official channels.

While Track 2 participants arerarely formally debriefed by U.S.officials, the substance of theirtalks is often widely sharedamong the small pool of experts— in government, academia andthink tanks — who focus onNorth Korea. That informationcan then be used once officialtalks restart. “There’s a lot thatyou pick up just by sitting in thesame room,” ranging from whatissues are open to discussion togroup dynamics, Delury said.

But what has emerged recentlyfrom Track 2 discussions? Thatdepends on who you ask.

To Sigal, the talks haverevealed a North Korea willing todiscuss limitations on its nuclearweapons program, despitePyongyang’s public insistencethat it is now a nuclear power.

“Even now, as bad as thingsare, it’s clear” that North Korea isready to talk, he said. He declinedto spell out the details of his dis-cussions, but said that a series ofslow, reciprocal steps by bothsides — “they would suspend cer-tain activities, the U.S. wouldtake certain steps” — could leadback to official negotiations.

In the end, he said, those nego-tiations may not be successful,but: “You don’t know until theU.S. and the North Koreans sitdown and try to work things out.”

Some other Track 2 partici-pants, though, say they’ve seen

no sign of North Korean willing-ness to discuss denuclearization.

“During several meetings inrecent months, I’ve raised theidea of a denuclearization dia-logue with the North Koreans,”Evans Revere, a former Asia spe-cialist at the State Department,said in an email. “The responsefrom them has been quite defini-tive. ‘There will be no denu-clearization; we are now anuclear-weapons state; the timefor denuclearization dialogue isover; you must learn to live withand accept this new reality.’”

Who is right? It’s hard to know.North Korea’s policy statementsare rarely easy to interpret, withserious proposals sometimesburied inside bombastic propa-ganda, and experts regularly dis-agreeing about what message isintended.

Some North Korea watchers,for example, believe thatPyongyang held out an olive

branch in July, when a storyfrom the state news agency saidthe North wanted “the denu-clearization of the whole KoreanPeninsula.” While the statementalso included a long list of NorthKorean demands that wouldseemingly make any agreementimpossible, some saw it as afirst offer, and a sign thatPyongyang was willing to startnegotiating.

The U.S. government, though,has seen little that looks like anolive branch.

Anna Richey-Allen, thespokesperson for the StateDepartment’s East Asia andPacific Bureau, said Washingtonis open to talking to Pyongyang.“But the onus is on North Koreato take meaningful actionstoward denuclearization andrefrain from provocations,” shesaid in an emailed statement.

Years of broken agreementshave left much of the world —

and much of the U.S. government— unwilling to trust North Koreain negotiations. American offi-cials are deeply hesitant aboutagreeing to direct talks withPyongyang, fearing the politicalfallout if the North again renegeson a deal.

But as Pyongyang’s arsenalcontinues to grow, with expertswarning it could have nuclearmissiles capable of hitting theUnited States within a few years,Sigal says the U.S. must focus onthose years when North Korea didstand by at least some of itsagreements.

“Most people in Washingtonhave an assumption that theNorth Koreans are bad guys —which is true enough — but alsothat you can’t deal with them. Isay that assumption is funda-mentally wrong,” Sigal said. “Ithink you have to be talking tothem. And that’s the purpose ofTrack 2.”

EU-US trade pact under cloud,Europe mulls change of tack

BRUSSELS (AP) — The out-look for a vast free trade pactbetween the European Unionand the United States was bleakFriday, with EU ministers dis-cussing whether to change theirapproach after conceding that adeal cannot be sealed beforePresident Barack Obama leavesoffice.

After three years of negotia-tions, big differences remainover the Trans-Atlantic Tradeand Investment Partnership,which is meant to lift trade bar-riers between the world’sbiggest commercial partners,spark sorely-needed economicgrowth and create new jobs.

“Completion of the negotia-tions with the U.S. by the end ofthis year is not realistic. So it isnot realistic to reach finalagreement by the end ofPresident Obama’s administra-tion,” Slovak Economy MinisterPeter Ziga, whose country holdsthe EU’s rotating presidency,told reporters after informaltrade talks in Bratislava.

“We’ve had negotiations forthree years and no chapter outof 30 chapters has been closed,”Ziga said. “It will take a lot oftime to get there.”

TTIP, as the potential deal isknown, is aimed at removingbarriers to trade between theEU and the U.S. to boost eco-nomic growth and employment.The European Commission esti-mates that the pact could boostEU economic output by 119 bil-lion euros ($133 billion) a yearand that of the U.S. economy by95 billion euros ($106 billion).

Thousands of people havedemonstrated against the pactin Germany and Belgium overthe last week. They fear theagreement is a threat to theenvironment and public health,and would give more power tobig multinational companies.

Still, European officials werekeen to seal a deal on TTIPbefore Obama leaves office inJanuary. Looming elections inFrance and Germany are alsoweighing on the negotiations.

A new round of talks is sched-uled for early October, but fewhold hopes for a breakthrough.

“I don’t necessarily see it asthe last one but let’s see how far

we get,” EU TradeCommissioner CeciliaMalmstroem said.

Given the public oppositionand slow pace of progress, somethink now is a good time topause and consider a freshapproach once it’s clear who willhold office in the White Housefrom next year.

“It would be reasonable, giventhat the subject has such a neg-ative connotation now, to com-pletely relaunch with a newname after the U.S. elections,with more transparency andclearer objectives, “saidAustrian Economy MinisterReinhold Mitterlehner.

In contrast, good progress hasbeen made on the trade dealwith Canada, known as CETA.Malmstroem’s office will drawup a joint declaration to annexto the agreement to explainsome elements, like public serv-ices as well as investment pro-tection and arbitration. The planis to sign the agreement at theEU-Canada summit in Brusselson Oct. 27-28.

“The Americans have notbeen willing to make offers theway Canada has so it’s guaran-teed there will be no agreementthis year,” said GermanEconomy Minister and ViceChancellor Sigmar Gabriel.

“If we do restart the negotia-tions, we’ll have to see who thenext American president is,” hesaid.

On the other side of theAtlantic, U.S. analysts see littlechance of a U.S.-European dealanytime soon.

“Very unlikely,” CarolineFreund, senior fellow at thePeterson Institute forInternational Economics, said.“Europe is struggling with Brexitand migration, and the TTIP ishugely unpopular in Germany.”

There’s a prevailing view thatan agreement would be morelikely under a President HillaryClinton than a President DonaldTrump.

“Even if a President Trumpwanted a TTIP, it would be hardto get Europe to work with hisadministration,” Freund said,noting Trump’s comments thatBritain would be ‘better offwithout’ the EU.

BEIRUT (AP) — A bombingcampaign in rebel-held districts ofSyria’s Aleppo city intensifiedFriday, targeting several neigh-borhoods and centers of theaward-winning volunteer civildefense group known as the WhiteHelmets, as the governmentannounced a new offensive in thearea.

The intense bombing and thedeclaration of a new offensivecome as diplomatic efforts failedto salvage a cease-fire that lastednearly a week, before giving way toa new level of violence. Residentsand activists say the bombing,which began in earnest lateWednesday night, has beenunprecedented, targeting residen-tial areas, infrastructure and civildefense centers. Some streetshave been closed off because ofpiles of rubble.

The Britain-based SyrianObservatory for Human Rightssaid at least seven civilians,including three children, werekilled in about 30 raids that beganovernight. A member of the city’s

forensic team, Mohammed AbuJaafar, said he had documentednine deaths since late Thursday,including five women and twochildren. Abu Jaafar said it wasimpossible to document casual-ties and injuries Friday because ofthe intensity of the bombing.

Ibrahim Alhaj, a member of theSyrian Civil Defense, said three ofthe group’s centers had been tar-geted in the air bombing cam-paign that usually acceleratesafter dark. By Friday morning,one center in the Ansari neighbor-hood in the southern part of therebel-held district had been putout of service after it was hitaround 7 a.m. Ambulances andthe one fire engine that serves therebel-held part of Aleppo had beendamaged. In another center, Alhajsaid, a bomb fell in the courtyardof the center and the extent of thedamage was not yet clear.

“It is really critical. (SyrianPresident Bashar Assad air forces)have directly targeted civil defensecenters,” Alhaj said. There were noreported casualties among the

group’s volunteers.“I have not seen in my life such

bombardment. It is very, veryintense,” Alhaj said.

“The regime tried to advance inseveral neighborhoods in Aleppo,”he said, adding that rebels havebeen so far able to repel allattacks. He said the attack on civildefense centers had delayed andhindered their work since somevehicles were destroyed.

Amid the intense campaign, ithas become even more deadly forthe civil defense teams to move.Already suffering from a shortageof fuel, their vehicles have beenhard pressed to meet theincreased demand on their servic-es. For hours Thursday, the teamssearched to save civilians whowere buried under rubble in sev-eral neighborhoods in rebel-heldAleppo.

Also Friday, a Syrian militaryofficial said airstrikes and shellingin Aleppo might continue for anextended period and the operationwill expand into a ground invasionof rebel-held districts.

GM unveilsnew compactChevy SUV

DETROIT (AP) — While sales ofits main competitors are rising,the aging Chevrolet Equinox com-pact SUV has taken a dramatictumble so far this year in thefastest-growing part of the U.S.market.

General Motors is hoping toturn that around when it replacesthe Equinox with a revampedmodel that goes on sale early nextyear.

Its main competitors, theHonda CR-V, Toyota RAV4,Nissan Rogue and Ford Escape,all have seen sales increasesthrough August, but Equinoxsales are down almost 18 percent.Some of that can be attributed toGM’s corporate cut in sales torental car companies, but muchof it is due to age of the SUV,which was last revamped in 2010.Newer models generally sell bet-ter, and most of its competitorsare newer.

The Equinox is an importantproduct for GM in what hasbecome the biggest part of theU.S. market, where the companygets most of its sales and profits.Compact SUVs accounted for just7.2 percent of the U.S. marketjust a decade ago, but that hasmore than doubled to 16.5 per-cent so far this year, according tothe Edmunds.com automotivewebsite. The SUVs appeal to justabout all demographic groups,from aging baby boomers who aredownsizing vehicles to millennialswho like the high seating positionand ability to haul outdoor gear.

The boxy old version of theEquinox, even in its late years,sold well but is starting to fadeagainst the market leading CR-Vand RAV4.

Edmunds Senior AnalystJessica Caldwell says it will haveto look less like an SUV in orderto catch buyers who are nowattached to Honda and Toyotaentries. And even if it gains sales,the Equinox won’t be the newestin the market for very long.“Chances are your competitorsare right behind you,” she said.“It’s tough.”

The timing is right for the newEquinox, said John Mendel, exec-utive vice president of Honda. “Idon’t know that it’s going to be aquantum shift or some seismicevent,” said Mendel, who hasn’tdriven the new Equinox yet.

On Thursday night in Chicago,GM showed off the sculpted new2018 version, which the companysays borrows much of its looksfrom sleek new cars such as theChevrolet Cruze and Malibu. Thenew Equinox is 400 pounds (180kilograms) lighter, 5 inches (13centimeters) shorter and aboutan inch (2.5 centimeters) lowerthan the old model. But it alsohas slightly less front and rearlegroom, according to GM’s speci-fications.

Gone are the Equinox’s old 3.6-liter V6 and 2.4-liter four-cylinderengines, replaced by two smallerfour-cylinder gas powerplantsand a diesel, all turbocharged forbetter acceleration. The base 1.5-liter engine puts out 170 horse-power, while an upgraded 2-literfour cranks out 252. The baseengine will get a GM-estimated 31miles per gallon on the highway,the same as the outgoing model.But the 1.6-liter diesel will get anestimated 40 mpg on the high-way, GM said.

“Customers can select anengine that offers more of theattributes that are important tothem: efficiency, performanceand capability,” said DanNicholson, GM’s vice president ofglobal propulsion systems.

The new version also comeswith Apple CarPlay and AndroidAuto to integrate smart phonesinto the SUVs, and a host of safe-ty features including low-speedautomatic braking and an alert ifyou’ve left a child in the rear seat.Price and a specific sale date werenot announced.

Harvard’s endowmentshrinks by nearly $2B

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) —Harvard University’s largest-in-the-nation endowment shrunk bynearly $2 billion during the latestfiscal year to $35.7 billion.

Harvard Management Co.,which oversees the endowment,reported Thursday it posted a 2percent annual investment lossfor the year ending June 30.

It was the endowment’s worstperformance since 2009 when itlost about $11 billion of value. Itwas valued at $37.6 billion at theend of the 2015 fiscal year.

Paul Finnegan, chair of HMC’sboard, called the results “disap-pointing.”

HMC’s leadership has been intransition. After Jane Mendillostepped down as chief executive,Stephen Blyth took over, butresigned after 17 months.

Massachusetts nonprofit thatoperates the deteriorating replicaof the ship that the Pilgrimssailed to the New World hasreceived a grant for much-neededrepairs.

The university can reject orrevoke names that it deems inap-propriate, including situationsinvolving fraud, obscene lan-guage or avoidance of a legalobligation.

Nicknames also can be usedon class and grade rosters, uni-versity press releases and socialmedia sites.

Leprosy found in California

elementary school studentLOS ANGELES (AP) — A case

of leprosy, extremely rare in theUnited States, has been diag-nosed in a Southern Californiaelementary school student, send-ing health officials scrambling toreassure parents and the publicthat the disease is hard to trans-mit and easy to treat.

Two children from Indian HillsElementary School in JurupaValley had initially been diag-nosed by a local doctor with thecondition known medically asHansen’s disease, RiversideCounty health officials saidThursday. But this week they

received results from theNational Hansen’s DiseaseLaboratory Research Program inBaton Rouge, Louisiana, andthey showed that only one of thechildren had tested positive.

Emails were sent to parents atthe elementary school, whereclassrooms had been sanitizedsince the initial diagnosis,emphasizing how hard it is tocontract leprosy and that there isno danger to the child’s class-mates.

“It is incredibly difficult to con-tract leprosy,” said Dr. CameronKaiser, Riverside County’s publichealth officer. “The school wassafe before this case arose and itstill is.”

The U.S. sees only about 150leprosy cases occur each year,and over 95 percent of the popu-lation is naturally immune to it.

Despite its reputation as anincredibly infectious plague thatmakes sufferers shed body parts,the disease can only be passedthrough prolonged contact, andis fairly easily treated withantibiotics.

It is not spread through short-term contact like handshakes oreven sexual intercourse.

Those most at risk are familymembers who are in constantcontact with an untreated per-son, and is usually contracted bypeople who have traveled toplaces like India, Brazil andAngola where it’s more common.

“There was no throwing of thepie,” said Erika Bjork, who worksfor a professional soccer team inSacramento and saw theencounter up close. “This was adirect assault. It just happenedthat he had a pie in his hand.”

Bjork, whose boss is a majordonor to Johnson, said themayor looked shocked andswung at Thompson multipletimes, but she didn’t see himland any punches.

Thompson had red and bluebruises and a roughly 1-inch lineof stitches under his left eyewhen he spoke to The AssociatedPress in jail.

He said the mayor turned andhit him at least twice “and prettyhard.” Thompson said he coveredhis face and started to moveaway but was quickly surround-ed by people and kept takinghits. He couldn’t tell who deliv-ered the blows.

Send in the clown complaints:

Spate of reports raises alarmPITTSBURGH (AP) — Police are

encouraging caution amid a rashof public complaints and socialmedia reports in a number ofstates of people dressed likeclowns and acting suspiciously,even if they think many areknucklehead pranksters or sim-ply bogus.

Real clowns are just plainmiffed.

Authorities in Greenville,South Carolina, were among thefirst to report a clown-relatedincident in recent weeks. Latelast month, some childrenreported clowns trying to lurethem into the woods with money.Sheriff’s deputies found no evi-dence, however, not even aprankster in a clown suit.

But for whatever reason, sincethen, people in Alabama,Georgia, Maryland, NorthCarolina and now, Pennsylvania,have reported scary or suspi-cious encounters with peopledressed like clowns.

“When people report thesethings it should be ‘someonedressed like a clown,’ because areal clown would never dress ordo anything to scare anyone,”said Tricia Manuel, 55, who runsMooseburger Clown Arts Campin Buffalo, Minnesota. The camp,named for her alter ego, PricillaMooseburger, trains about 100clowns each year.

She said she has been follow-ing the reports closely becausethey are hurting business.

“In South Carolina, two of theclowns were afraid to go out andperform, and they’re two of mycustomers,” said Manuel, whosetwo children are also clowns. “Ifthey don’t perform, they don’tneed supplies.”

Some of the reported sightingshave been hoaxes, like the fouryoung children who told policethey made up stories about spot-ting clowns in unusual places inand around Annapolis,Maryland, or the 24-year-oldman whom police in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, chargedwith falsely reporting that aclown knocked on his window.

Other related cases weren’t soharmless and have resulted incriminal charges.

California military baseVANDENBERG AIR FORCE

BASE, Calif. (AP) — Anotherwildfire, likely sparked by adowned powerline, broke outWednesday and forced the evacu-ation of buildings on a large cen-tral California military basewhere another blaze has beenburning all week, officials said.

The new fire broke out at 2

p.m. on the north side of thecoastal, mostly undevelopedVandenberg Air Force Base isunrelated to the older, larger firethat’s on the south side, baseofficials said.

The new blaze, which hadgrown to at least 100 acres,brought the evacuation of admin-istrative buildings, but was notyet a threat to any of the housingor key facilities on the base.

Southward winds sent smokeover Lompoc, a city of 40,000people at the edge of the base,though the flames themselveswere not threatening the city.

A preliminary report says adowned powerline sparked it.

Resources were being divertedfrom the earlier fire that brokeout over the weekend in a remotecanyon and forced the postpone-ment of a satellite launch. It was70 percent contained and hadburned about 19 square miles(49 square kilometers) of ruggedland.

A firefighter died Wednesdayand another was hurt when thewater truck they were in over-turned on a highway outside thecity of Lompoc, miles from thefire lines.

NATIONAL BRIEFSDiaper change as molestation? Experts doubt Arizona charges

PHOENIX (AP) — Statementsfrom the Arizona Supreme Courtequating diaper-changing tochild molestation and theprovocative social media head-lines that followed have left par-ents nervous that one day theywill need an attorney more than ananny.

A recent court opinion on aTucson man’s appeal of childmolestation and child sex abuseconvictions criticized the law astoo vague. Two dissenting jus-tices wrote that the criminalstatute says any kind of deliber-ate sexual contact is consideredchild molestation and does notrequire proof of sexual intent.

So, parents literally commit afelony every time they bathe atoddler or change a diaper, thedissenting justices said.

Law experts, however, say it’sdoubtful any prosecutor wouldgo after a parent, baby-sitter ordoctor for a standard child-car-ing task. But that hasn’t stoppedanxiety-breeding headlines thatbath time could lead to jail time.

Here are key things to knowabout Arizona’s child molestationlaw and the reaction to it:

PARENTS CRITICIZE LAW

For many parents, the law aswritten would criminalize theassistance they count on frombaby-sitters and day careproviders.

Arizona criminal statutedefines child molestation, afelony, as an act by an individualwho “intentionally or knowingly”engages in or causes someone toengage in any sexual contactwith a child under 15. It does notmention whether the contact issexually motivated.

Tabitha Schmaltz, an account-ant and mother of four from thePhoenix suburb of Gilbert, sendsher youngest child to day careand considers the staff an exten-sion of herself. They are expectedto be the parent, feeding and dia-pering her 1-year-old son.

“If I have to choose between mysitter abiding by the legislationand neglecting my child out offear, or ignoring legislation andcaring for my child in a way Iknow he’s not being neglected, Iwould happily let my sitter violatethis legislation,” Schmaltz saidThursday.

Nikole Fletcher, a Phoenixmother pregnant with her secondchild, said that when she firstput her 4½-year-old son in day

care, she chose a facility thatwould assist with things likepotty training.

“This law, the way that it’sworded, is calling those day-to-day situations that you kind ofchuckle about as a parent,they’re calling them into a veryserious light,” Fletcher said.

PROSECUTION FOR

CAREGIVING?

The Arizona Supreme Courtacknowledged that in crafting thelaw, the Legislature likely wasnot setting out to criminalizebathing or diaper-changing. Butthat did not stop an outcryacross social media about par-ents or baby-sitters possibly fac-ing arrest in an innocent situa-tion.

That led Phoenix’s top prose-cutor, Maricopa County AttorneyBill Montgomery, to try to easepeople’s concerns in a statementearlier this week.

“It is incredibly insulting tobelieve any prosecutor reviewinga case for charging would not beable to tell the difference betweenan adult taking proper care of achild and the molestation of achild victim,” Montgomery said.

WHAT EXPERTS SAY

Paul Bender, a longtime pro-fessor at Arizona StateUniversity’s College of Law, saidthe law’s wording should beclearer.

“I doubt very much whetherthere are going to be manyunjust prosecutions under thatinterpretation, but it could hap-pen,” Bender said. “Because peo-ple are nervous about it, it’s aproblem.”

He said the law is also prob-lematic because it puts the bur-den of proving any sexual contactwas innocent on the defendant.

“If you’re going to accusesomeone of a bad thing — of acriminal act — you should haveto prove all the things that arenecessary to make it a criminalact,” Bender said.

Fletcher, the parent, said pro-tecting children should alwaystake precedence, but the lawopens up the possibility of anerroneous judgment that couldruin someone’s livelihood.

“Who is making the decision ofwho gets labeled or pulled in ordecided against? We all think itshould be sexual predators whoare actually committing sexualmolestation,” Fletcher said.
