By LARRY C. BOWERSBanner Staff Writer

A Cleveland couple believe they may havebeen sent a sign. The sign came in a round-about way from a stray kitty.

Barbara and Ron Gooslin of 1230 CrestDrive S.E., are animal lovers. They live on anaccess road, and Mrs. Gooslin said people areall the time putting animals out in the neigh-borhood.

She said they rescue many of the critters.“They’re all the Lord’s animals,” she said.

They found a young, pregnant mother catrecently near the roadway.

Mrs. Gooslin said they had to take it inbecause their outside cat was beating on theyoung mother-to-be. They placed it in a largecage they have in the basement.

They had no idea what was to come, a hap-pening Mrs. Gooslin calls “a sign.”

The young mother cat gave birth to six kit-tens on May 5, but two didn’t survive. Theother four appear healthy a month after birth,

New Vision Baptist Churchpastor Phillip Robinson hasbefriended Ron Hammer, whokilled Robinson’s father WayneRobinson in 1986, TheTennessean reports. The twowill speak at the pastor’schurch on Sunday morningduring three services. Hammerhad planned to attend in per-son, but will appear to the con-gregation online via Skype.

“This is a story about lifeand living it fully,” Robinsonsaid. “I do that by forgiving.Ron benefits, but I benefit too.”

Hammer spent nearly threedecades in prison for shootingand robbing the elderRobinson with an accompliceoutside of the family’s

Murfreesboro grocery store.Hammer was the gunman,

but adamantly denied that foryears. He was given a life sen-tence for murder and 35 addi-tional years for armed robbery.

Hammer wrote Robinson aletter about eight years ago,admitting to pulling the triggerand asking for forgiveness.

The two exchanged lettersfor years, and eventually beganto consider themselves asfriends. Robinson testified forHammer at a parole hearinglast year.

Two months after Hammer’sMarch release, Robinson methis friend. They embraced andlater prayed together.

“I reached out two hands,”Robinson said. “And it waspowerful to think last time hehad physical contact with myfamily, it was death. And nowit was life. It was pretty over-whelming.”

With bullet holes in the side of the Dallas Police headquar-ters, Bill Smith of the FBI works the scene after an early morningshooting Saturday in Dallas. A man suspected of spraying the head-quarters with gunfire and planting pipe bombs, early on Saturday,has been found dead in a van after a police sniper shot him, policeChief David Brown said.

Suspect in brazen attack onDallas police building killed

DALLAS (AP) — A man plantedpipe bombs outside Dallas policeheadquarters and sprayed thebuilding with bullets during a wildstreet battle early on Saturdaythat authorities said miraculouslyleft no one dead or injured exceptthe suspect, who was later shotand killed in his van by a policesniper.

Dallas Police Chief DavidBrown said the suspect identifiedhimself to authorities as JamesBoulware, and he blamed policefor having lost custody of his sonand for “accusing him of being aterrorist.” But authoritiesdeclined to officially identify thesuspect until a medical examinerverified it. Police arrived at thehome of Boulware’s father as anAssociated Press reporter wasthere later on Saturday and beganquestioning the elder Boulware,also named James.

According to police, the suspectopened fire on the building fromhis parked van. Bullets piercedthe glass at the entrance andcaused damage inside, includingat the front desk, where the work-er on duty had just gone to get asoft drink.

He also fired on officers whodrove up to confront him, riddlingat least one squad car with bulletsbut not actually hitting anyone.Cellphone video shot from a near-by balcony or roof showed thesuspect’s dark-colored van ram asquad car as gunshots rang out.At one point the suspect got out ofhis van and walked toward theentrance to the building firing hisgun but turned around, accordingto Dallas Police Maj. Jeff Cotner.Police are not sure why he retreat-ed.

The van then fled, eventuallystopping in a restaurant parkinglot in the suburb of Hutchins,where the standoff ensued.

The suspect had told policenegotiators that he had explosivesin the van, and Brown said at anews conference that the depart-ment decided to shoot himbecause it felt he still posedenough of a threat.

“When the negotiation was on,he became increasingly angry andthreatening, such that we werenot only concerned with our offi-cers there trying to contain thescene being shot by him at amoment’s notice,” but also peoplenearby, Brown said.

Investigators found a packageof pipe bombs in the parking lot atpolice headquarters and at leasttwo more pipe bombs in the van,police said.

Wary that the van may havebeen rigged with explosives, police

used a camera-equipped robot toinspect it rather than have offi-cers approach it immediately,which was why it took severalhours to confirm he was dead.

After the suspect was con-firmed dead, the van erupted inflames while the authorities weredetonating the suspected ord-nance inside.

Boulware’s father said that hisson had strong feelings againstlaw enforcement after he lost cus-tody of his son, now 12 or 13years old.

Boulware spent several hoursFriday at his father’s home inCarrolton, a Dallas suburb andtalked about how well his recent-ly-purchased van drove, thefather said.

But he also discussed a widely-publicized video of a police officerin McKinney, Texas pushing ablack teenager to the ground andbrandishing his gun at otherteenagers.

His father last spoke withBoulware by telephone aboutthree hours before Dallas policesaid the shooting began.

“Not being able to get a job andthe legal system letting him down,(he) finally snapped,” the elderJames Boulware said in a tele-phone interview before policearrived. “But I can’t say shootingat a police station is right in anyway.”

The attack began at around12:30 a.m., when several policeofficers were standing nearby. Apopular bar across the street fromthe headquarters building wasstill open, and the neighborhoodis also home to a boutique hoteland apartment buildings.

Reporters allowed to walkthrough the scene after it hadbeen secured counted numerousbullet holes in the front window ofthe police headquarters. Numbermarkings were all over the streetto show where shell casings andother forms of evidence had beenfound. Blackened debris markedthe spot where the pipe bombsexploded in the parking lot of afast food restaurant.

One squad car that police saidhad been occupied by two officersat the time had a bullet hole in theback of the driver’s seat. Police onthe scene declined to say how thetwo officers escaped the shots or ifthey had ducked below the dash.

In the early confusion, witness-es reported seeing as many asfour attackers, including somewho had taken high positions forbetter vantage points. Brown latersaid investigators were confidentthe only attacker was the suspectlater killed.

IT’S A SPECIALDAY FOR ...

Mike Soess tellsKiwanis Club aboutnew local program


There is a new program intown attempting to provide afather figure for boys in a familywithout a father.

The Andor Program, initiatedby the Boy Scouts of Americaand the Cleveland Boys & GirlsClubs, is seeking to answer thisneed in today’s society.

Mike Soess, the executivedirector of the local program,was the guest speaker at lastweek’s Cleveland Kiwanis Clubluncheon at the Elks Lodge.

“We’re relatively new,” Soesstold the Kiwanians. “The pro-gram only began in January.”

The new executive directorexplained the program’s missionis to assist young men, 6 to 18,on their passage to manhood.He said these are boys who don’thave a father figure at home.

Since taking over the pro-gram, Soess has learned theword Andor is Hungarian formanhood.

The director of the programdid not really know what he wasgetting into when he took thejob. As soon as he was hired,Soess was told he had to take agroup of young men on a camp-ing trip the next weekend.

“It was a disaster,” he said. Hecollected all the camping gear,and the food, and no one showedup. Approximately 25 signed upfor the trip, but a basketballtournament got in the way.

It was then a mother came bywith her two boys, checking tosee what the event was allabout. He took the two boys onthe camping trip.

“They had a great time, andwe had plenty of food,” Soessremarked. He said the boysenjoyed themselves so much,they show up at ever outing theprogram has.

The camping program hasalso progressed, Soess said.There were 46 kids at a campingtrip to Birchwood just two weeksago.

Participants ranged from 8 to16, and Soess was impressed bythe fact the older kids assistedthe younger campers.

The program now sponsors acamping trip every month, yearround.

Boys enrolled in the programare broken into age groups —elementary, middle school, andhigh school. Volunteers haveprograms every day at the sevenBoys & Girls Clubs units inBradley and Polk counties.

The volunteers, who must gothrough an extensive screeningprocess before being accepted,direct classes with skills youngmen need to move ahead in life.In addition to the camping tripsand the outdoors, they aretaught automobile skills andseveral other basic skills.

The older kids are placed on aadvanced track for in-depthskills they can use for the rest oftheir life.

Every month the program pro-vides a different theme for itsmembers, Soess said.

“This month the theme isemergency preparedness,” hesaid. “They are building medicalemergency kits and learningmedical skills. This will helpthem react to a home emer-gency.”

The program’s directoremphasized that the volunteersare extremely important to theprogram.

“I work with about 400 kidseach day, but on the personallevel it’s only five to 10 kids. Weneed the volunteers, so each canpersonally work with five to 10additional kids.”

He said the volunteers arethere to be a substitute father,for a short while, to these kids.

Participants in the programare selected by directors at eachof the Boys & Girls Club units,and the program is financed bya Pioneer grant through UnitedWay.

Each enrollee also goesthrough the Boys Scouts ofAmerica program as a memberof Cub Scout Pack 30-90, orBoys Scout Troop 90.

The executive director is cur-rently guiding the program fromthe Tucker Unit of the Boys &Girls Clubs in Cleveland.

Facing ‘peacekeeper babies,’ U.N. now offers DNA testing

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — TheU.N. peacekeepers arrive; monthslater, some leave infants behind.Now the United Nations has quiet-ly started to offer DNA testing tohelp prove paternity claims andensure support for the so-called“peacekeeper babies.”

It’s a delicate step, as countriesthat contribute U.N. troops mightnot welcome a practice that couldprove not only fatherhood butwrongdoing. Of the dozen paterni-ty claims received last year, fourwere associated with alleged sexu-al abuse of a minor.

The new effort comes a decadeafter a groundbreaking report onsexual abuse and exploitation bypeacekeepers suggested that theU.N. secretary-general be author-ized to “require DNA and othertests to establish paternity” sopeacekeepers would be pressuredto support the children they“father and abandon.”

Many of the children are in adesperate financial situation, saidthe report by Zeid Raad al-Hussein, now the U.N.’s humanrights chief and a former peace-keeper himself.

No one knows how many chil-dren have been fathered by U.N.peacekeepers over the decades insome of the world’s most troubledplaces. About 125,000 peacekeep-ers are deployed in 16 locations,almost all in Africa or the MiddleEast. Sexual abuse and exploita-tion remains a problem, with littlesupport available for victims.

While the U.N. has worked withmember states before on paterni-ty claims, it only started offering aDNA collection protocol, and test-ing kits, last year.

But it doesn’t go as far as theaction urged by a U.N.-commis-sioned report that was leakedpublicly this spring. A “DNA databank for all troops would be themost foolproof method” for tack-ling paternity claims, it said.

Instead, the U.N., which has nostanding army, is allowing troop-contributing countries to decidehow much of an effort to make topursue paternity claims.

It began with a cable that thepeacekeeping office sent to itsmissions in January 2014. A U.N.report obtained this month by

The Associated Press describedthe cable as offering “guidance onassistance in instances of pater-nity claims involving current orformer members of peacekeepingmissions in terms of DNA test-ing.”

On Friday, U.N. officialsexplained how it works: A mem-ber state is asked if they are ableto do DNA testing or whether theU.N. should do it. The mother,child and possible father areswabbed. Results are compared.

The testing has not been mademandatory. Since the U.N. start-ed pressing states to follow up onpending paternity issues, theresponse rate is just 20 percent.

Cooperation in a possible crim-inal case, such as rape, could bemore challenging. The U.N. hasno authority to conduct criminalinvestigations and can’t force acountry to do DNA testing.

Almost half of the paternityclaims reported since January2010 — 14 out of 29 — weremade by minors who said they’had been sexually abused. TheU.N., nervous about angeringmember states amid a persistentneed for peacekeepers, does noteven list the countries whosetroops are accused. Officials saythat could change as soon as nextyear.

Responses to the DNA testingare mixed. Ban Ki-moon’s latestannual report on combating sex-ual abuse and exploitation in theU.N. system, released inFebruary, said “one member statein particular has been very proac-tive.”

The country was not identified.But a report on Public RadioInternational’s “The World” inAugust said the U.N. mission inHaiti had brought seven localwomen with their children to thecapital, Port-au-Prince, for DNAtests. The report said peacekeep-ers from Uruguay had been askedto submit DNA samples.Uruguay’s mission to the U.N. didnot reply to an AP request forcomment.

Sexual relationships betweenpeacekeepers and locals are neveracceptable, Uruguayan Col.Girardo Frigossi was quoted assaying.


Cleveland’s efforts to be envi-ronmentally aware have beenrecognized by the TennesseeMunicipal League through its“Excellence in GreenLeadership” award.

The award was presentedduring the 76th Annual TMLConference in Nashville.

“It was a great honor,”Jonathan Jobe, developmentand engineering director, said.“It was a great accomplish-ment.”

Cleveland Mayor TomRowland said in a press releasethe organization highlighted“Cleveland’s leadership in greenand substantiality initiativesthrough partnerships withorganizations such as ClevelandState Community College,Tennessee Valley Authority’sGreen Power Switch, Tree CityUSA and as active members ofTennessee Renewable Energyand Economic DevelopmentCouncil” as reasons for itsselection this year.

The city of Cleveland,Cleveland Utilities andCleveland State are recognizedon an annual basis by the ArborDay Foundation for tree plant-ing and conservation efforts.

A partnership with theUniversity of TennesseeKnoxville’s Smart Communitiesinitiative which outlined proj-ects to increase sidewalks andbicycle safety on Inman Street,preserve streams and reuseempty manufacturing facilitieswas also listed as a key reasonCleveland was selected for theaward.

“The fact we were able to doplanning on so many differentfronts that would lead to agreener community through SCIis a lot of what the award had todo with,” City Planner GregThomas said. “It’s really veryrewarding.”

Opportunities for the commu-nity to give input on the projectsare being planned. Thomas saidhe hopes to have a display atthe Museum Center at FivePoints of the completed projectsand options for giving feedback.

Thomas described workingwith the students as “really aton of fun.”

“It was really an honor to getto be a pilot community,”Thomas said.

The next partner for theSmart Communities Initiativewill be the Southeast TennesseeDevelopment District.

During the TML conferencethis week, municipal leaders

were given information aboutexpanding environmentallyfriendly programs.

Jobe said a session on raingardens was informative andcould prove helpful to the stormwater division in the future.

“If you have smaller areas inparks and things, you can turnthem into rain gardens,” Jobesaid.

Parks and Recreation directorPatti Petitt said she enjoyed asession lead by the TennesseeParks and Recreation depart-ment on community gardening.

The event highlighted oppor-tunities offered by the organiza-tion for training and implemen-tation of such a program. Grantinformation was also presented.

Cleveland receives TML honors


Cleveland city leaders gainedinsight from other cities andinformational workshops duringthis year’s Tennessee MunicipalLeague conference.

The event marked the end ofCleveland Mayor Tom Rowland’ssecond term as the TML presi-dent, and city manager JaniceCasteel completed her term asthe Tennessee City ManagersAssociation president.

Rowland recapped the organi-zations past year of work duringhis last speech as president.

“With big picture issues suchas common core, teacher andstate employee pay and healthinsurance and the budgetremaining in the legislature,1,400 bills were filed in the one ofthe fastest paced sessions seen inmany years,” he said.

“As always our TML staff keptour cities well represented andkept up with the day-to-dayissues that affect each of us. It isimportant we remain diligent andcontinue to communicate withour local legislators on our indi-vidual needs in our communi-ties.”

Assistant City ManagerMelinda Carroll said the confer-ence offers a variety of workshopsfrom “the League and the bondfund and the TennesseeMunicipal Pool, who helps uswith our insurance.

“I just think it’s a great confer-ence and its something that weenjoy and there are always newworkshops that teach us bench-marking,” Carroll said.

She said it provides a time forher to ask questions of leadersfrom other cities.

Ever year the league keepsattendees informed of laws thataffect local governments.

“It gives good training on thelegislative session and certainbills that will affect our depart-ment,” Jonathan Jobe,Development and Engineeringdirector, said.

Issues such as annexationlaws have seen significantchange in the past few years. Aconference workshop“Annexation Update and OtherKey Issues” reviewed thesechanges and educated themunicipality leaders of expectedaction in the coming year.

“We need to know if we canannex or not because that is howwe get revenue,” Carroll said.

Changes to the law have limit-ed the power of municipalitiesacross the state to annex landand expand tax bases. Cities canno longer annex by ordinance.The city boundary can only beexpanded at the request of aproperty owner or by petition bya group of county residents.

A petition would send theissue to referendum, where vot-ers would decide the fate of therequest.

Jobe said more recent changeshave added additional restric-tions on annexing farmlands.

With changes to the law, statefarmland can only be annexed atthe request of the owner, not byreferendum.

Leaders from Cleveland attendthe conference each year with dif-ferent department heads depend-ing on the workshops offered

Jobe said he attends whenbreakout sessions are addressingspecific topics related to hisdepartment.

Patti Petitt, director of Parksand Recreation, said she hasattended the conference almostevery year.

“I enjoy it because you networkwith other cities, get a lot ofinformation and see that all theother cities go through the samething you do,” Petitt said.

For Fire Chief Ron Harrison, itwas his first time attending theconference.

“Being new in this position, Iwant to expose myself to all of thelearning opportunities that Ican,” Harrison said. “It was avery worthwhile experience.”

Harrison said a workshop onpreparing for and acceptingchange reinforced for him thatthe Cleveland Fire Department ison the right track.

A highlight of the conferencefor Harrison was talking to citycouncil members of Columbia,which has an ISO rating of 1.Cleveland Fire Department has a3 ISO rating. The rating is givenbased on response time, equip-ment, etc. Many home insurancecompanies base coverage cost onthis rate. The lower the ISO rat-ing the better.

Harrison said CFD is in the top3 percent in the nation, less than1 percent of the nation’s firedepartments have a 1 ISO rating

“One of our projects is to eval-uate why are we a three and whatcan we do to improve,” Harrisonsaid.

He hopes to continue conver-sations with those in Columbiaas the CFD develops a strategyfor moving forward toward a 2ISO rating.

Many of the sessions dealt withdealing with conflict. Amongthese were “From Division toDecision: How We Can GetThings Done?” and “LessonsLearned from Ferguson, Mo. “

Nashville Metro PoliceDepartment Chief SteveAnderson shared how protestsare handled in that area by set-ting time limits for peacefulprotests and cooperating withthose who participate.

How Internet sales are impact-ing local sales tax revenue wasdiscussed in one of the confer-ence workshops. Carroll saidmany times when people buysomething online they do not paysales tax and it does not help thelocal economy.

Exhibitions at the conferencealso highlighted services themunicipal leaders may need inthe future.

The Bradley Sunrise RotaryClub recently raised $78,000 togive to local charitable organiza-tions.

During its June 6 fundraisinggala featuring former AtlantaBraves pitcher Tom Glavine, theclub raised approximately$78,000 after event expenses,according to President KeithMunford.

The club’s most recent meet-ing was a celebration of theteamwork practiced to make theevent successful.

“I think just about everybodyin the club contributed in someway. So many people worked sohard,” Munford said.

He added “more money iscoming in,” so the club may beable to give away more than$78,000 this year.

Each year, the club holds agala for the purpose of raisingmoney to give away. Past recipi-ents of gala funds have included

Habitat for Humanity ofCleveland, The Salvation Armyof Cleveland, Angel Flight,Family Promise, The CaringPlace, Life Bridges and severalother nonprofit organizations.

Munford encouraged theRotarians to keep workingtogether to help the communityand recognized some of the“most valuable players” whohelped in the gala, includingevent organizer Kevin Mendel.

At one point, Mendel also rec-ognized the volunteers by givingZero candy bars to the “zeros”who worked especially hard to“add value to” the gala like zerosadd to the values of fundraisingdollar figures.

The celebration was cappedoff with paper hats from TheVarsity, a well-known restaurantnear the Atlanta Braves stadi-um.

After the celebration, theRotarians heard from AnneCadle, the director of develop-ment at Bachman Academy.

Cadle shared the McDonald

private school’s mission andpresented information todebunk what she said weresome “misconceptions” about it.

She explained the school’sstudents are boys and girls inthe sixth through 12th gradeswho have “learning differences.”

“They are very intelligent,”Cadle said. “They just learn indifferent ways.”

The school uses speciallytrained teachers and smallclasses to help students withchallenges like dyslexia,Asberger syndrome or attentiondeficit disorder learn and con-tinue through school.

Both a day school for localstudents and a boarding school,Cadle said the current studentsinclude some local ones as wellas some from other U.S. statesand far-flung countries likeNigeria and Jamaica.

No matter where they hailfrom, she said they all have onething in common; they needextra help to do well in school.

Omitting the student’s name,

Cadle read a letter from themother of a current student whosaid the school helping himthrough his challenges had “lit-erally saved his life.”

The teenage boy had beencaught in a cycle of continuallydoing poorly in school becauseof learning disabilities and beingbullied by other students.

He had at one point been sofrustrated with school he hadconsidered committing suicide,his mother wrote.

“All the stories are different,but they are all the same in thatthey have ... challenges we try tohelp them overcome,” Cadlesaid.

A big focus for the school is“experiential” learning, sheadded.

She explained a student whostruggles in school needs extrareassurance that the work theyare doing is relevant to them,something they truly will usewhen they are out of school.

Intertwined with the school’scurriculum are four vocationalareas students can choose tostudy hands-on — horticulture,equine science, auto mechanicsor woodworking.

Cadle said students will oftenget involved in a task like wood-working and realize they reallyare using skills like reading andmath as they look at plans andmake measurements.

“In those classes, you can feelacademic success pretty quick-ly,” she added.

In addition to focusing on aca-demics, Cadle said the schoolplaces a big emphasis on build-ing camaraderie among the stu-dents because students can “fallbehind socially when they havethese learning differences.”

Boarding students also havethe ability to practice their

“executive functioning skills,”the kind of skills it takes to dothings like set alarm clocks andpick out what to wear in themorning.

All those pieces are designedto work together to help theschool carry out its mission.

“It’s our mission to help themsucceed,” Cadle said.

That goal has been reachedwith many of the school’s alum-ni, as she said most graduateand go on to earn a college cer-tificate or degree.

She said Bachman Academyis categorized as a “specialtyschool” not unlike one thatmight heavily emphasize sports.

Because it does not fall underthe “therapeutic” category, it is

one that cannot accept healthinsurance to help with tuition.

Cadle said the school alwayswelcomes support from the com-munity as it adds to its scholar-ship fund, maintains its 100-year-old campus and workstoward goals like building a newhorse barn and purchasing newequipment for its auto mechan-ics shop.

NEW YORK (AP) — HillaryRodham Clinton called for a newera of shared prosperity inAmerica and told thousands ata presidential campaign rallySaturday that workers can trusther to fight for them.

“It’s America’s basic bargain,”Clinton said. “If you do yourpart, you ought to be able to getahead, and when everybodydoes their part, America getsahead too.

“That bargain inspired gener-ations of American families,including my own,” the formersecretary of state and first ladysaid.

In the first major speech ofher second campaign for presi-dent, Clinton portrayed herselfas a fierce advocate for those leftbehind after the recession.

She cited President BarackObama, and former PresidentsFranklin D. Roosevelt and Bill

Clinton, her husband, and saidthey embraced the idea that“real and lasting prosperitymust be built by all and sharedby all.”

Her campaign said her “tena-cious fighter” message will formthe foundation of the 2016White House race. She also gavea nod at the start of her addressto the prospect she would be thefirst woman elected to the WhiteHouse.

Clinton told the thousands atthe outdoor rally on RooseveltIsland that she was glad to bewith them “in a place withabsolutely no ceilings.”

Eager and excited Democratsbegan assembling hours beforethey heard from the candidate.

Marc Markley of New Yorksaid he showed up at 2:30 a.m.and waited in the dark for thegates to open, with only a policeofficer for company.

“I was about to fall asleep ear-lier, but now it’s totally worthit,” he said. “I can’t wait to getinside.”

Those arriving were greetedby campaign manager RobbyMook, who took an all-hands-on-deck approach to the eventby hawking merchandise — arole typically assigned to a low-level staffer or volunteer.

“Ladies and gentlemen, wel-come to our rally today,” Mookcalled out to the crowd filteringinto Four Freedoms park, beforedirecting them to a table sellingcampaign T-shirts and othercampaign-branded gear.“Thanks for being here — andbuy some products.”

On Friday, the Clinton cam-paign released a video on Fridaydetailing her four decades inpublic service, starting with herwork as a young lawyer at theChildren’s Defense Fund.

After the Saturday speech,Clinton planned to visit early-voting states, with eventsfocused on her relationship withher mother and her father’sbackground as a veteran andsmall businessman.

“You have to get up off thefloor and you keep fighting,”Clinton says in the video, dis-cussing her failed 1993 attemptto overhaul the nation’s healthcare system during her hus-band’s administration.“Everyday Americans need achampion.”

Clinton has spoken outstrongly on immigration andother issues important to partsof the Democratic base.

But she has been reticent onother policy questions that havedivided the party, among them atrade deal with Pacific Rimnations. Obama backs it.Organized labor, liberals andothers say it would cost U.S.jobs.

On Friday, dozens of union-

backed House Democrats voteddown a critical part of Obama’strade agenda, negotiatingauthority that would let himpropose trade agreements thatCongress could accept or reject,but not amend.

Clinton did not offer specificpolicy proposals in her speech.Aides said that would come inthe following weeks on issuesthat include college affordabili-ty, jobs and the economy.

Clinton was joined by herhusband and daughter Chelseaat the rally. It was the first timethe family had been seen togeth-er in public since Clinton beganher campaign in April, and thecrowd chanted “Bill! Bill! Bill!”when she introduced him.

“Oh, that will make him sohappy,” Clinton said.

LONDON (AP) — In the home-stretch of a 41-year U.S. Armycareer shaped by war and thescars of war, Gen. MartinDempsey sounds unconvincedthat Iraq has found its path tolasting victory over the IslamicState group.

But neither does the top mili-tary adviser to President BarackObama say the threats to Iraqtoday justify sending Americanground troops back into combat.

He counsels patience, for now.Give the Iraqis more time to

heal their internal divisions andfight their own battles. Resist thetemptation to grab control of thecontest against the Islamic Stategroup. An enduring victory willtake more than military might; itwill require a unified Iraq sup-ported by neighbors.

“If we were to take control ofthis campaign, I mean literallyseize control of the campaign,then there’s no doubt in my mindwe would probably defeat ISILon, let’s say, a faster timeline,but at some considerable cost toour young men and women inuniform,” he told U.S. troopsThursday in an aircraft hangarin Naples, Italy, on one of his lastoverseas trips before finishinghis four-year tenure as chairmanof the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

And that defeat would not last.“Maybe ISIL goes away, maybe

they’re defeated militarily, and

two years from now anothergroup with another name andanother ideology ... will just beback,” he said earlier that day,using an alternative acronym forthe militants who occupy largeparts of Iraq and Syria.

“So this campaign is built onthe premise that it has to be wonby our coalition partners and bythe Iraqis themselves. That’s abaseline assumption. If thatassumption changes I’ll go towork on Plan B.”

It’s an assessment based onDempsey’s decades of experiencein the Middle East.

After the Sept. 11 attacks, heserved in Saudi Arabia as anadviser on internal defense. Heled the U.S. Army’s 1st ArmoredDivision in combat in Iraq in2003-04, commanded the U.S.training mission in Baghdad in2005-07, oversaw military opera-tions in the greater Middle Eastas acting commander of U.S.Central Command in 2008, andas Joint Chiefs chairman hasbeen the chief military adviser toPresident Barack Obama and hisNational Security Council.

Dempsey’s assessment alsoreflects scars of his wartimeexperience. On his desk in thePentagon sits a small woodenbox of laminated cards, one foreach of the more than 100 sol-diers who died in Iraq under hiscommand in 2003-04. Carved on

the box’s lid are the words,“Make it matter.”

His Iraq view, however, is notshared by some in Congress, andothers, who say the U.S. cannotafford to count on the Iraqis. U.S.Rep. Mac Thornberry, R-Texas,chairman of the House ArmedServices Committee, callsObama’s approach too passiveand lacking strategic coherence.Thornberry’s committee hascalled Dempsey and U.S. DefenseSecretary Ash Carter to testifyWednesday on the administra-tion’s Middle East policy.

The Obama administrationclearly has its own doubts aboutIraq’s progress. This past weekthe White House announced theU.S. would send up to 450 troopsto a new base in Anbar province,mainly to advise the Iraqis onplanning and execution of acounteroffensive to retakeRamadi, the provincial capital.On Thursday, Dempsey saidmore such U.S. hubs could beopened elsewhere in Iraq as thecampaign advances.

Dempsey is leery of deeperU.S. military involvement to helpthe Iraqis because “that discour-ages, at some level, them fromreally getting serious aboutrestoring their own security.” It’sa wariness shared by Obama,who said last August that hewould not to allow the U.S. to“get dragged into another war in

Iraq.”Dempsey knows Iraq and its

political weaknesses better thanmost. While he is willing to givethe Shiite-dominated govern-ment in Baghdad more time toachieve political reconciliationwith the Sunnis, he does notsound overly optimistic.

“We have not given up on thepossibility that the Iraqi govern-ment can actually be whole,” hesaid.

He was alluding to lethal fis-sures between Iraq’s Sunnis andShiites. They worsened after the2003 U.S. invasion that toppledSaddam Hussein and thenreturned during the tenure ofNouri al-Maliki as prime minis-ter.

The Obama administrationhad high hopes that al-Maliki’ssuccessor, Haider al-Abadi,would advance reconciliationwhen he assumed office lastSeptember, but he has yet todeliver.

Dempsey also has consideredalternative courses of U.S. actionshould the Iraqis prove incapableof producing what he called“game changers,” meaningmoves such as passing legisla-tion to create a “national guard”of Sunni tribal fighters.

“Then we will have to look forother avenues to maintain pres-sure on ISIL and find other part-ners who can ensure that we can

protect ourselves,” he said,describing what sounds like acounterterrorism campaign notnecessarily aimed at restoringthe Iraq-Syria border erased byIS.

“If ISIL begins to threaten ourpersons, our facilities, ournational interests — if they beginconducting external planning,plots against the (U.S.) home-land, for example — we’ve got(military) capabilities in theneighborhood we can bring tobear. ... But at this point I justdon’t think we should be givingup on the government of Iraq andits ability to conduct this cam-paign, with our help, without(the U.S.) taking it over.”

Shaped by war, Dempsey doubts U.S. role in Iraq

Clinton urges new era of shared prosperity

DemocrAtic PresiDentiAl candidate, former Secretary ofState Hillary Rodham Clinton gestures before speaking to supportersSaturday on Roosevelt Island in New York, in a speech promoted asher formal presidential campaign debut.

5 candidates and a rat: the 1972 Democratic debateCONCORD, N.H. (AP) — Is

there room for a rat?Faced with an unusually large

class of Republican candidates,media organizations have begunsetting the criteria for 12 GOPpresidential debates betweenAugust and March. There’s nochance Ned Coll — who oncefamously brandished a rubberrat during a debate in NewHampshire — will make the cut.But his experience shows howmuch has changed since thedays when having a mere fivecandidates in a debate wasviewed as unwieldy.

For the first two scheduledGOP debates this year, Fox Newsand CNN each plan two-partevents: one for the top con-tenders and one for the longshots. Such arrangements wouldhave kept the colorful Coll andtwo others relegated to the sec-ond tier four decades ago.

In 1972, Democratic front-run-ner Sen. Edmund Muskie ofMaine faced mounting pressurefrom Sen. George McGovern ofSouth Dakota to debate in NewHampshire, which in 2016 willcelebrate 100 years of primaries.Muskie finally agreed, and twodays before the March 7 primary,they joined Sen. Vance Hartke ofIndiana, Los Angeles Mayor SamYorty and Coll at the Universityof New Hampshire, where they

sat on red chairs borrowed fromthe bar of a nearby hotel.

Coll was the 32-year-oldfounder of an anti-poverty groupin Connecticut called theRevitalization Corps and hebrought the rat along to symbol-ize urban decay. He went on tobecome a champion for publicbeach access, and today — 25years after he says Jesus Christspoke to him in a vision — hiscauses include promoting prayerin public schools.

“I’m considering enteringagain, as a prophet,” he said in arecent interview. “Basically, wehave to get back to our roots: InGod we trust, and we the people.”

The 1972 debate was broad-cast on public television nation-wide. Media accounts depicted itas rather a dull night.

“The inclusion of minor candi-dates not only curtailed the timeavailable to Mr. Muskie and Mr.McGovern but also made anysustained debate between themdifficult,” wrote R.W. Apple Jr. forThe New York Times. A UnitedPress International story began,“Cluttered by the participation ofthree candidates given no chanceto win ...”

Carl P. Leubsdorf, who coveredthe debate for The AssociatedPress, remembers Coll as a highpoint of the debate.

“They were discussing the

problems the country was facing,and he suddenly held up thisrubber rat and said, ‘This is thereal problem,’” Leubsdorf, formerWashington bureau chief andnow columnist for The DallasMorning News. “As debatemoments go, it was pretty good.”

The New York Times reportedthat the campaigns had ham-mered out the details of thedebate the previous week aftersix and half hours of negotia-tions.

“You were really at the mercyof what the candidates couldwork out, and what the sponsorsdid,” Leubsdorf said.

For the 2016 campaign, workbegan much earlier. SteveDuprey, a Republican NationalCommitteeman from NewHampshire, was named chair-man of the RNC’s debate commit-tee in August 2014.

Hoping to avoid a repeat of2012, when there were morethan 20 debates, he led the effortto approach nearly two dozenpotential 2016 candidates andfigure out a better system. Theirconsensus: fewer debates spreadout among more states and on amore predictable timetable. Sofar, the networks and othermedia organizations largely haveagreed, he said, though the “finalfrontier” — deciding who partici-pates — is up to the hosts.

Other projects included theplayground, the restrooms andthe pavilion.

The Stage At Greenway Parksaw a lot of action even beforeits official ribbon cutting. Itserved as the performancestage during “Groovin’ on theGreenway” and hosted commu-nity musicians.

The first performer to taketo the stage after the ribboncutting was “American Idol”runner-up Clark Beckham.

Beckham is a Lee Universitygraduate. This was his firstperformance in Clevelandsince competing on the show.

Fisher recognized Harry Daleas one of the volunteers whohad been on site for The Stageproject everyday.

“With the growing popularityof Greenway Park, talkemerged more than a year agoto build an outdoor stage thatcould accommodate thousandsof people,” Fisher stated. “TheAllied Arts Council recognizedthe need and approached theGreenway Board about thepossibilities of it being housedin what is now Greenway Park.At the time, the city did notown the property. Followingthe donation of the green spacebetween the Greenway and theformer First Tennessee Banklocation to the city, discus-sions ramped up about notonly a stage, but an overallmaster plan for the area.”

The Allied Arts Councilhelped to develop the designfor the stage.

The location of the stage wasoriginally planned for closer tothe pavilion, but the plan waschanged to allow multiple

events to be held at the park atthe same time.

According to a press release,“In 2013, Bob Card, owner ofSunrise Acceptance and EasyAuto, donated the funds tobuild the Greenway Park pavil-ion which was dedicated lastOctober. At the event, Cardlearned of plans for a greenwaystage and expressed an inter-est in donating funds towardits realization. Based in partupon the voluntary workman-ship of MWOA, Card donatedthe entire $70,000 budget forthe stage project.”

“Obviously, the generousdonation from Bob and SusanCard was the catalyst for usbeing able to build the stage

sooner rather than later,”Fisher related. “Their gift setsan example of creative ways toimprove our community. TheCards’ donation was an unex-pected blessing that allowed usto concentrate our resourceful-ness on concept and designrather than fund raising forthis project. It clearly gave usthis venue at least a year soon-er than we originally anticipat-ed.”

Men and Women of Actiondonated their time to completethe project. The stage wasdesigned to match the archi-tecture of the existing pavilion.

The stage can be reservedthrough the City Parks andRecreation Department.

the injuries sustained and whoneeded to be treated and trans-ported first.

“This was what we define as amass casualty incident. Whenthere are multiple patientsinvolved, we initiate the triage sys-tem. This allows us to make aquick assessment and determina-tion of what patients requireambulance transport and thosewho do not. Each patient is given atriage tag signifying their injurystatus,” Clark said.

A total of 15 patients were trans-ported to Sky Ridge Medical Centerin Cleveland. There were no criticalinjuries.

“It is not very often that we workan incident with multiple patients.We do train for mass casualty inci-dents and today it paid off. Allemergency agencies that respond-ed did an outstanding job,” Clarkadded.

The First Baptist Church ofBarnwell sent one of its buses toCleveland to pick up the Hagoodyouth group.

Most of the group returned toBarnwell late Friday night, but atleast one person remains inCleveland in order to see an ortho-pedic surgeon due to a brokenarm.

An agenda for the meeting wasnot available; however, the recentdog attack may have spurred mem-bers to move forward with the ideaof releasing a request for proposalsin finding services that might takeup county animal pick-up under acontractual bases.

Sheriff Eric Watson has alsobeen asked to provide costs shouldhis department be asked to serve inthat capacity for county residents.

The Finance Committee will meetat 11 a.m. to review some finalchanges to the proposed 2015-2016 county budget.

The full Commission will meet ina regular voting session beginningat noon.

They will first hear any appealsfrom county departments concern-ing proposed levels of revenue andspending.

Commissioners will also vote ona continuing resolution for fundingthe county at current rates until afinal budget for the 2015-2016budget year is approved.

The proposed budget could looklarger on the revenue side if a reso-lution submitted by CommissionerThomas Crye is passed.

Crye notes the Commission hasalready committed to fund approx-imately $12 million toward the con-struction of a Lake Forest MiddleSchool academic facility with debtservice to begin in 2016-2017.

Because the county would berequired to give Cleveland CitySchools $6 million, a bond issue of$18 million would be needed cost-ing approximately $1.2 millionannually toward the county debtservice.

Crye’s resolution is for anincrease in the property tax of 10cents to be approved this year withits priority usage to be for “schoolcapital projects and/or the relateddebt service for new school con-struction including the renovationof and additions to existing schoolfacilities; emergency services needs;industrial development; and otherfuture needs.”

One cent on the county propertytax rate brings in an approximately$165,000 — an amount whichcould comfortably pay for a schoolbond issue.

Even if the resolution passes,final approval of a tax rate will notcome until Monday, July 6, whenCommission will have its finalscheduled votes on the budget.

Commissioners will also considera resolution to request theTennessee Department ofTransportation conduct a study toreduce the speed limit for semi-tractor trucks on North LeeHighway/U.S. Highway 11 fromPaul Huff Parkway to the countyline and directed patrol of the high-way. The current speed limit onNorth Lee is 45 miles per hour.

Passage of the resolution willalso call for the cities of Clevelandand Charleston to join in therequest.

Another animal issue will be onMonday’s agenda concerning thefunding for the SPCA. The currentproposed county budget adds$40,000 — $10,000 pre quarter —to the SPCA budget.

Because the organization’s con-tract with the county will endbefore the budget year 2015-2016ends Crye has introduced a resolu-tion seeking to ensure the organiza-tion will receive that extra fundingat least through the end of theircurrent contract at the end of Feb.2016 and pending any negotiationsto extend or revise that contract.

but one has very unusual mark-ings.

The month-old kitten has thedistinct shape of a cross on itsback. Also, there appears to bea dove, or some type of bird, sit-ting on top of the cross.

Mrs. Gooslin said none of theothers cats are unusuallymarked, although the motherdoes have some streaks downher back.

She said the kitten’s fur is adark gray, with the outlines ofthe cross and dove a lighter

shade of a beige color. She saidthe cross was not that distinc-tive until the past week or so.

The Gooslins plan to keep themother cat, and the unusualkitten. The other three will beput up for adoption.

Mrs. Gooslin said she and herhusband are Christians, andthey believe the kitten is a signfrom God.

They’ve also come up with avery unusual name for theunique kitten. They’re calling it“Christofur.”

tion in 2013, SACSCOC notifiedthe college the following sum-mer it had some more work todo.

It was denied reaffirmationof its accreditation and given ayear — until June of this year— to correct the issues at hand.

A June 26, 2014, SACSCOCstatement on Cleveland State’sstatus at the time said the col-lege had “failed to demonstratecompliance” with parts of its“Principles of Accreditation.”

“The cited standards expectan accredited institution to pro-vide evidence that it (1) engagesin an ongoing, integrated, andinstitution-wide research-basedplanning and evaluationprocess; (2) identifies expectedoutcomes, assesses the extentof achievement, and providesevidence of improvement in thearea of academic and studentsupport services; and (3) justi-fies and documents the qualifi-cations of its faculty,” it read.

While the college remainedaccredited over the one-yearwarning period, it was expectedto correct the issues or be atrisk of receiving other conse-quences — a second warningor probation.

When the warning wasissued in June of 2014,Seymour said the college wouldbe working to provide moreinformation on studentachievement, support servicesand faculty credentials.

Seymour said at the time oneof his goals upon becoming thepresident had been to lead thecollege in a strategic planningprocess, and he hoped seeingthat goal to fruition would beenough to address the findingrelated to planning.

The warning came afterSeymour started his tenure asCleveland State’s president inJanuary of 2014, but the reportSACSCOC had based its warn-ing on had been submitted in2013.

In April of this year, the col-

lege unveiled the “ClevelandState 2020 Community FirstPlan,” a five-year plan that hadbeen the result of months ofmeetings with faculty, staff andcommunity members aboutwhat the goals should be.

“The combination of complet-ing the Cleveland State 2020Community First Plan andachieving reaffirmation thisyear will power the college for-ward to accomplish significantgoals in the near future,”Seymour said recently.“Cleveland State is on themove, and we appreciate thegreat support from our commu-nity.”

Though it will not apply forits 10-year reaffirmation againuntil 2024, Director ofInstitutional Research andEffectiveness Marcia O’Connersaid the college is “committedto monitoring our compliancewith the SACSCOC in the inter-im years.”

She added the college is stillawaiting a letter from SAC-SCOC President Belle S.Wheelan to confirm what led toit being reaffirmed again.

Describing the reaffirmationprocess as a “rigorous” one, shepraised her colleagues for work-ing together to offer the com-munity the assurance its localtwo-year college will stay fullyaccredited.

“All of this is possiblebecause of the dedicated facul-ty and staff at Cleveland State.... This is definitely a cause forcelebration!” O’Conner said.

SACSCOC offers accredita-tion to schools and colleges inAlabama, Florida, Georgia,Kentucky, Louisiana,Mississippi, North Carolina,South Carolina, Tennessee,Texas, Virginia and LatinAmerica, and it accredits all ofTennessee’s community col-leges.

According to SACSCOC,Cleveland State first receivedits accreditation in 1969.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Deeplypersonal information submittedby U.S. intelligence and militarypersonnel for security clearances— mental illnesses, drug andalcohol use, past arrests, bank-ruptcies and more — is in thehands of hackers linked to China,officials say.

In describing a cyberbreach offederal records dramatically worsethan first acknowledged, authori-ties point to Standard Form 86,which applicants are required tocomplete. Applicants also mustlist contacts and relatives, poten-tially exposing any foreign rela-tives of U.S. intelligence employ-ees to coercion. Both the appli-cant’s Social Security number andthat of his or her cohabitant arerequired.

In a statement, the WhiteHouse said that on June 8, inves-tigators concluded there was “ahigh degree of confidence that ...systems containing informationrelated to the background investi-gations of current, former andprospective federal governmentemployees, and those for whom afederal background investigationwas conducted, may have beenexfiltrated.”

“This tells the Chinese the iden-tities of almost everybody who hasgot a United States security clear-ance,” said Joel Brenner, a formertop U.S. counterintelligence offi-cial. “That makes it very hard forany of those people to function asan intelligence officer. The data-base also tells the Chinese anenormous amount of informationabout almost everyone with asecurity clearance. That’s a goldmine. It helps you approach andrecruit spies.”

The Office of PersonnelManagement, which was the tar-get of the hack, did not respond torequests for comment. OPMspokesman Samuel Schumachand Jackie Koszczuk, the directorof communications, have consis-tently said there was no evidencethat security clearance informa-tion had been compromised.

The White House statementsaid the hack into the securityclearance database was separatefrom the breach of federal person-nel data announced last week — abreach that is itself appearing farworse than first believed. It couldnot be learned whether the secu-rity database breach happenedwhen an OPM contractor was

hacked in 2013, an attack thatwas discovered last year.Members of Congress receivedclassified briefings about thatbreach in September, but therewas no public mention of securityclearance information beingexposed.

Nearly all of the millions ofsecurity clearance holders,including some CIA, NationalSecurity Agency and military spe-cial operations personnel, arepotentially exposed in the securityclearance breach, the officialssaid. More than 4 million peoplehad been investigated for a securi-ty clearance as of October 2014,according to government records.

Regarding the hack of standardpersonnel records announced lastweek, two people briefed on theinvestigation disclosed Friday thatas many as 14 million current andformer civilian U.S. governmentemployees have had their infor-mation exposed to hackers, a farhigher figure than the 4 millionthe Obama administration initial-ly disclosed.

American officials have saidthat cybertheft originated in Chinaand that they suspect espionageby the Chinese government, whichhas denied any involvement.

The newer estimate puts thenumber of compromised recordsbetween 9 million and 14 milliongoing back to the 1980s, said one

congressional official and one for-mer U.S. official, who spoke toThe Associated Press on conditionof anonymity because informationdisclosed in the confidential brief-ings includes classified details ofthe investigation.

There are about 2.6 millionexecutive branch civilians, so themajority of the records exposedrelate to former employees.Contractor information also hasbeen stolen, officials said. Thedata in the hack revealed lastweek include the records of mostfederal civilian employees, thoughnot members of Congress andtheir staffs, members of the mili-tary or staff of the intelligenceagencies.

On Thursday, a major unionsaid it believes the hackers stoleSocial Security numbers, militaryrecords and veterans’ statusinformation, addresses, birthdates, job and pay histories;health insurance, life insuranceand pension information; and age,gender and race data.

The personnel records wouldprovide a foreign government anextraordinary roadmap to black-mail, impersonate or otherwiseexploit federal employees in aneffort to gain access to U.S.secrets —or entry into govern-ment computer networks.

Outside experts were pointingto the breaches as a blistering

indictment of the U.S. govern-ment’s ability to secure its owndata two years after a NationalSecurity Agency contractor,Edward Snowden, was able tosteal tens of thousands of theagency’s most sensitive docu-ments.

After the Snowden revelationsabout government surveillance, itbecame more difficult for the fed-eral government to hire talentedyounger people into sensitive jobs,particularly at intelligence agen-cies, said Evan Lesser, managingdirector of ClearanceJobs.com, awebsite that matches security-clearance holders to availableslots.

“Now, if you get a job with thegovernment, your own personalinformation may not be secure,”he said. “This is going to multiplythe government’s hiring problemsmany times.”

The Social Security numberswere not encrypted, the AmericanFederation of GovernmentEmployees said, calling that “anabysmal failure on the part of theagency to guard data that hasbeen entrusted to it by the federalworkforce.”

“Unencrypted information ofthis kind this is disgraceful — itreally is disgraceful,” Brennersaid. “We’ve had wakeup calls nowfor 20 years or more, and we keephitting the snooze button.”

The OPM’s Schumach wouldnot address how the data was pro-tected or specifics of the informa-tion that might have been com-promised, but said, “Today’sadversaries are sophisticatedenough that encryption alonedoes not guarantee protection.”OPM is nonetheless increasing itsuse of encryption, he said.

retired Air FOrce reserve tech Sgt. Ed Kienle, 73, pausesduring an interview at his home, Thursday in Wilmington, Ohio. Thegovernment says U.S. Air Force reservists who became ill after beingexposed to Agent Orange residue while working on planes after theVietnam War would be eligible for disability benefits. The Departmentof Veterans Affairs said it has been working to finalize a rule thatcould cover more than 2,000 military personnel, including Kienle,who flew or worked on Fairchild C-123 aircraft in the U.S. from 1972to 1982.

VA moving to extendbenefits to some Air Force reservists

WASHINGTON (AP) —Reversing a long-held position,the Department of VeteransAffairs now says Air Forcereservists who became ill afterbeing exposed to Agent Orangeresidue while working on planesafter the Vietnam War should beeligible for disability benefits.

The VA said it has been work-ing to finalize a rule that couldcover more than 2,000 militarypersonnel who flew or worked onFairchild C-123 aircraft in theU.S. from 1972 to 1982. Many ofthe Vietnam-era planes, used bythe reservists for medical andcargo transport, had sprayed mil-lions of gallons of herbicide dur-ing the 1955-1975 military con-flict in Southeast Asia.

If the White House Office ofManagement and Budgetapproves the change, it would bethe first time the VA had estab-lished a special category of AgentOrange exposure for military per-sonnel without “boots on theground” or inland waterwaysservice in Vietnam. That couldopen the VA to renewed claims bythousands of other veterans whosay they were exposed to AgentOrange in less direct circum-stances, such as on the open sea.

The announcement is expectedas early as this coming week.

An Institute of Medicine reportin January concluded that manyC-123 reservists had beenexposed to chemical residues onthe aircraft’s interior surfacesand suffered higher risks ofhealth problems as a result. Theinstitute is part of the NationalAcademy of Sciences, a privateorganization chartered byCongress to advise the govern-ment on scientific matters.

Using that report, the depart-ment “determined that potential-ly exposed veterans would be eli-gible for Agent Orange-relatedbenefits,” the VA said in a state-ment. It also is reviewing whethercertain active-duty troops mayhave been exposed. “Our goal isto ensure all affected C-123crewmembers receive disabilitybenefits and medical care.”

Before requesting the report,the VA had generally deniedclaims submitted since 2011 byC-123 reservists, saying it wasunlikely they could have beenexposed to Agent Orange fromthe residue.

About 653,000 Vietnam-eraveterans have received AgentOrange-related disability benefitssince 2002, when the VA officiallybegan tracking the cases.

The proposed rule wouldexpand coverage under the 1991Agent Orange Act to reservistswho were stationed atRickenbacker Air National GuardBase in Columbus, Ohio,Pittsburgh Air National GuardBase and Westover Air ReserveBase in Chicopee,Massachusetts.

Many were pilots, mechanicsor medical personnel and simply

followed orders when it came toworking on C-123s, according tothe C-123 Veterans Association.It was formed four years ago byretired Air Force Maj. Wesley T.Carter after he and otherreservists noticed a pattern inthe various ailments they suf-fered.

The reservists under the rulewould be entitled to VA disabilitybenefits if they developed healthproblems such as prostate can-cer, diabetes and leukemia thatwere determined by the VA to beconnected to Agent Orange.

“There wasn’t that much talkof Agent Orange,” said retiredTech. Sgt. Ed Kienle, 73, ofWilmington, Ohio, who workedon C-123 aircraft as a pilot andmechanic from 1972 to 1980. Hesaid reservists generally knewthe planes had once sprayedAgent Orange, but he didn’t thinktwice about it when he was askedto clear away parts coated withresidue.

After retiring from the militaryin 1997, Kienle said he developedskin cancer and respiratory prob-lems and is being treated for indi-cations of prostate cancer. Hehas joined with other reservistsin the “Buckeye Wing” stationedat Rickenbacker in pushing forC-123 benefits.

In April, VA Secretary BobMcDonald expressed dismay inan email to department officialsthat multiple delays have“stretched our already thin credi-bility.” At the time, officials werelooking to Congress for legisla-tion to provide benefits for the C-123 reservists.

But veterans groups and law-makers including Sen. SherrodBrown, D-Ohio, said the VA hadlegal authority to bypassCongress and act on its own.Brown and two other senatorssaid this past week they wouldblock a Senate vote on PresidentBarack Obama’s nominee forVA’s top health post until thedepartment made clear whetheror when a new rule would takeeffect.

The upcoming rule would notinclude roughly 200,000 “BlueWater” veterans who say theywere exposed to Agent Orangewhile serving aboard deep-waternaval vessels off Vietnam’s coast,according to two VA officials whospoke on condition of anonymitybecause they were not authorizedto discuss the matter publicly.

“If they do cover the C-123guys and not us, we would feelvery slighted,” said John PaulRossie, executive director of theBlue Water Navy VietnamVeterans Association, pledging arenewed push for benefits.

Veterans’ organizations andseveral members of Congresshave been calling for expandedVA benefits in a broader range ofenvironmental toxic exposurecases, including those involvingGulf War neurotoxins and burnpits in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Long odds ahead for Obama on trade agendaWASHINGTON (AP) — The

White House and Republicanleaders in Congress face longodds in trying to revive trade leg-islation after a telling defeat engi-neered by President BarackObama’s fellow Democrats.

Obama’s ambitious tradeagenda is in serious doubt, as ishis quest for a capstone second-term achievement.

Without the power to negotiatetrade deals that Congress canapprove or reject, but not amend,Obama has little chance ofsecuring the Pacific Rim pactthat his administration hasworked toward for years.

Friday’s rebuff highlighted thestrained relations betweenObama and congressionalDemocrats, who voted down aworker assistance program cru-cial to the negotiating authoritymeasure just hours after thepresident implored them not to.

Obama and House SpeakerJohn Boehner, R-Ohio, hadworked in rare tandem on thisissue, yet their inability to deliverraises the question of whethermuch else will get done withRepublicans running Congressand Obama in the White Housefor the next 18 months.

“This isn’t over yet,” Rep. PaulRyan, R-Wis., a main supporterof the trade legislation. “I’mhopeful that the Democratsunderstand the consequencesand get together with the presi-dent and finish this as soon aspossible.”

House GOP leaders took stepsthat would allow another vote onthe worker retraining program incoming days, but that wouldrequire at least 90 votes to shift.

Republicans sounded pes-simistic that they could add

many more votes for a programthat most on their side deride aswasteful and unnecessary.

House Democratic leaderNancy Pelosi of California andher labor-backed allies aredetermined to oppose the TradeAdjustment Assistance programas a way to collapse the entirepackage. So it seems unlikelythat enough Democratic votes

would emerge to save the pro-gram, even though the party haspromoted it for years.

“Some of my Democratic col-leagues are in danger of self-immolation” on the workers’ pro-gram and “I think that’s sad,”said Rep. Kurt Schrader, D-Ore.,one of the few Democrats whobacked Obama on Friday’s votes.

Another possible route is to

send revised legislation back tothe Senate. But senatorsapproved the larger package onlynarrowly last month afterintense battles, and the WhiteHouse desperately wants toavoid giving opponents thereanother chance to strangle thelegislation.

White House press secretaryJosh Earnest dismissed Friday’soutcome as an “entanglement”and “procedural snafu.”

But it was more than a “snafu”that caused Pelosi and themajority of House Democrats torevolt against their president.

The White House, congres-sional Republicans and businessgroups argued that the specialnegotiating power is a necessarytool for trade deals opening upcrucial markets to Americangoods.

Union-backed HouseDemocrats never bought theargument. They felt burned bypromises from past administra-tions about trade deals theyblame for job and manufacturinglosses in their districts.

Trade bills have always had atough road in Congress. Afterelection losses in recent yearsthe House Democratic caucus issmaller and more liberal,attuned to economic issues inthe wake of the financial sectormeltdown and recession.

Against that backdrop Obamawas not able to bring enoughHouse Democrats his way.Pelosi, from trade-dependentSan Francisco, announced onthe House floor at the lastmoment that she would be sid-ing with the majority of her cau-cus and against her president.

“We want a better deal forAmerica’s workers,” she said.

6 Gitmo detainees sent to Oman to break pause in transfersWASHINGTON (AP) — Six men

long held at Guantanamo Bayarrived Saturday in Oman, thefirst movement of detainees outof the U.S. prison for terrorismsuspects in five months asCongress considers new restric-tions on transfers.

The six detainees — all fromOman’s war-torn Mideast neigh-bor Yemen — boarded a flightfrom the U.S. prison in Cuba onFriday, bringing Guantanamo’spopulation down to 116. Themove means President BarackObama has now transferredmore than half of the 242

detainees who were atGuantanamo when he was sworninto office after campaigning toclose it.

Yet Obama remains far fromachieving his closure goal, withjust a year and a half left inoffice, final transfer approvalscoming slowly from the Pentagonand lawmakers threatening tomake movement out even harder.The transfers to Oman are thefirst to be given final approval byDefense Secretary Ash Carter,who has been on the job fourmonths.

The six new transfers include

Emad Abdullah Hassan, who hasbeen on hunger strikes since2007 in protest of his confine-ment without charge since 2002.In court filings protesting force-feeding practices, Hassan saiddetainees have been force-fed upto a gallon at a time of nutrientand water.

marriage, in the AtlanticPORTLAND, Maine (AP) — A

South Carolina novelist lost hisstorm-battered sailboat but savedhis marriage during a failedAtlantic crossing that ended inhis rescue by students aboard amaritime college’s training ship.

Michael Hurley’s 30-foot ketch,The Prodigal, was abandoned andleft drifting 500 miles south ofNewfoundland — about 2,000miles short of his goal of Ireland— when he was rescued last weekby students and staff from theMaine Maritime Academy.

Hurly and his wife, Susan, haddecided to split up, but theybegan communicating againwhile he was on his journey. Therescue came three days after thecouple decided to renew theirvows, he said.

“We just had come to a pointwhere we needed something tomove us off dead center. Thisapparently was it. So there’s a sil-ver lining in that. This was theimpetus that helped us to changeour marriage,” he said.

The academy’s training vesselhas responded to maritime emer-gencies in the past butWednesday’s episode marked thefirst rescue by students on atraining cruise, said NathanGandy, commandant in charge ofmidshipmen.

Hurley said his boat had beenbattered by back-to-back stormsand was taking on water about1,200 miles into his trip toIreland.

Rancher denies firing gunshots

near U.S. researchers in Nevada(AP) — Nevada rancher and

states’ rights advocate ClivenBundy said Saturday that con-tract researchers for the federalBureau of Land Management hadno business being on rangelandwhere he grazes cattle, but hedenied he or his supporters firedgunshots near them.

Three employees of a nonprofitNevada organization told authori-ties they were monitoring watersources in the Gold Butte area,about 100 miles northeast of LasVegas, on June 5 when they wereapproached by two men whoasked what they were doing.

The researchers quickly leftafter six shots were fired laterthat night near their camp in anarea that’s being considered forfederal protection as a nationalconservation area. There were noinjuries.

Las Vegas police are investigat-ing the incident. Bureau of LandManagement officials havedeclined comment beyond astatement saying the shootingprompted them to take unspeci-fied safety precautions in the areato protect is employees and con-tractors.

The incident follows a tensestandoff in April 2014 betweenBundy and the bureau after a fed-eral judge authorized the agencyto remove his cattle from public

land. Bundy, who does not recog-nize the authority of the federalgovernment, stopped paying graz-ing fees over 20 years ago andowes more than $1 million.

The confrontation pitted federalofficers against heavily armedstates’ rights advocates who hadconverged on the Bundy ranch tohalt the roundup of his cattle. TheBureau of Land Managementbacked off, citing safety concerns.It allowed Bundy supporters torelease 380 cattle from pens thathad been collected.

Giant purple sea slugs slime San

Francisco Bay Area beachesALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) — A giant

purple blob from the sea — a slug— is invading East Bay beachesand waterways this summer, andsome experts say it may becaused by warmer temperaturesnear coastal waters.

These California sea hares areharmless plant eaters. But theirbig size and unusual abundancethis year is turning heads at theshorelines in the cities of CrabCove in Alameda and Miller KnoxRegional Park in Richmond, aswell as Lake Merritt in Oaklandand Tomales Bay in MarinCounty, the Contra Costa Timesreported Saturday(http://bayareane.ws/1IRy5ej ).

“We are getting calls from thepublic asking what the heck isthis big weird purple blob,” saidCarolyn Jones, a spokeswomanfor the East Bay Regional ParkDistrict. “It’s native to our area.It’s not endangered, but they arerarely seen other than an occa-sional one here or there.”

Officials have no precise count,but dozens have been seen onsome beaches at the same time,and two dozen were spotted lastmonth in an inlet to Lake Merrittin Oakland.

The first ones were spotted lastfall. But more have been seen inMay and June — including onesthat captured the crowd’s atten-tion last weekend at an annualsand castle-building contest atCrown Beach in Alameda.

The slugs can reach 15 poundsor more and 30 inches in length,although the ones in the East Bayare smaller — about the size of alarge fist or a heart. They arecalled sea hares because theirthick antennae resemble rabbitears.

The boom in sea hares may berelated to warmer temperaturesnear coastal waters, said MorganDill, a naturalist at the Crab CoveVisitor Center in Alameda. “Wecan’t say for sure why we’re see-ing so many, but the Bay temper-atures are definitely warmer thisyear,” Dill said.

NATIONAL BRIEFSScientists emerge from isolated dome on Hawaii volcano slope

HONOLULU (AP) — Six scien-tists who were living under adome on the slopes of a dormantHawaii volcano for eight monthsto simulate life on Mars haveemerged from isolation.

The crew stepped outside thedome that’s 8,000 feet up theslopes of Mauna Loa to feel freshair on their skin Saturday. It wasthe first time they left withoutdonning a spacesuit.

The scientists are part of ahuman performance study fund-ed by NASA that tracked how theyworked together as a team. Theyhave been monitored by surveil-lance cameras, body-movementtrackers and electronic surveys.

Crew member Jocelyn Dunnsaid it was awesome to feel thesensation of wind on her skin.

“When we first walked out thedoor, it was scary not to have asuit on,” said Dunn, 27, a doctor-al candidate at Purdue University.“We’ve been pretending for solong.”

The dome’s volcanic location,

silence and its simulated airlockseal provided an atmosphere sim-ilar to space. Looking out thedome’s porthole windows, all thescientists could see were lavafields and mountains, saidUniversity of Hawaii professorKim Binsted, principal investiga-tor for the study.

Tracking the crew members’emotions and performance in theisolated environment could helpground crews during future mis-sions to determine if a crew mem-ber is becoming depressed or ifthe team is having communica-tion problems.

“Astronauts are very stoic peo-ple, very level-headed, and there’sa certain hesitancy to report prob-lems,” Binsted said. “So this is away for people on the ground todetect cohesion-related problemsbefore they become a real issue.”

Spending eight months in aconfined space with six peoplehad its challenges, but crew mem-bers relieved stress doing teamworkouts and yoga.



OPENING THE Civil War marker dedication Saturday afternoonwere the Cub Scouts of Pack 3477 at Maranatha Baptist Church inCleveland.


ABOVE IS THE new Civil War commemorative marker which wasdedicated Saturday. Located along Dalton Pike in South BradleyCounty, it designates the area between Union and Confederateforces that was called “No Man’s Land.”


THESE FIVE YOUNG men are all direct descendants of JosephLusk II, who lived in South Bradley County during the Civil War. Theyoung men participated in Saturday’s Civil War marker dedication.They include, from left, Aiden Burns, Tristan Miller, Turner Davidson,and Parker Davidson. At the top is Wesley Hannah.


THIS FOURSOME, all in period dress, attended Saturday’s dedication ceremony for a new Civil Warmarker on Dalton Pike in south Bradley County. The four visitors included, from left, Alma Webb of theNational Daughters of the Union, Jeff Webb of Missionary Ridge Union Regiment 63, Patricia Rhodes ofthe Daughters of the Union, and Tim Hill of Regiment 63.


WITH THE NEW Civil War marker placed at 7723 Dalton Pike are several participants in Saturday’sdedication ceremony. With the marker, from left, are Melissa Woody of the Chamber of Commerce; SamElliott of the Tennessee Historical Commission; Tim McCoy, marker sponsor and host of Saturday’s cer-emony and program; featured speaker Jim Ogden, chief historian of Chickamauga-ChattanoogaNational Military Park; Mary Ann Peckham of the Tennessee Civil War Preservation Association; andLindsay Hathcock, representing the Bradley County mayor’s office.


FEATURED SPEAKER Jim Ogden leaves the podium at the end of Saturday’s dedication of a newCivil War marker on Dalton Pike. The marker designates the area which was between Confederateforces to the South and Union forces to the North as “No Man’s Land.” A big crowd attended the dedica-tion, with several in period dress like the Union troops on the left.


THERE WERE SEVERAL people in period dress at Saturday’s Civil War marker dedication on DaltonPike in South Bradley County. The five above are members of the Missionary Ridge Regiment 63. Theyinclude, from left, Tim Hill, Harvey Scarborough, Mark Kemp, Mark Steele, Robert Dobbs and Jeff Webb.

of McCoy’s historical researchand data.

The marker is located on theold Lusk homeplace on the eastside of Dalton Pike, two to threemiles north of the Georgia Stateline.

State plaque 2A 109 is titledCivil War “No Man’s Land,” anddepicts the area between Unionforces in Cleveland andConfederate forces near Dalton.In addition to troops in the area,there were also hostiles whoplagued local residents of bothsympathies.

A big crowd turned out forSaturday’s ceremony, many inCivil War period dress. Therewere also members of theMissionary Ridge UnionRegiment, and members of theNational Daughters of theUnion.

McCoy was overjoyed by theturnout and the program.

“It was absolutely wonderful,”he said at the conclusion of theceremony and unveiling of themarker. “There is so muchinterest in the history of thisarea, and there are so many sto-ries families can tell.”

A number of descendants ofthe Lusk family attendedSaturday’s ceremony.

McCoy served as host for theprogram, with a number of dis-tinguished speakers.

“I grew up in this communi-ty,” said McCoy in telling whyhe requested the roadsidemarker and organizedSaturday’s event.

He said the journey beganthree years ago when his moth-er urged him to look throughkeepsakes of his late grand-mother. “The items were notabout me and my immediatefamily, but of the families wholived in this area,” he said. “Itwas an enriching discovery.”

“We’re all connected in somany ways,” McCoy continued.“It’s a heritage all of us share.”

McCoy also introduced 97-year-old Robert Steele, thegreat-great-grandson of JosephLusk II, and Tom Lusk ofAlabama, the only Lusk atSaturday’s event.

Featured speaker was JimOgden, chief historian for theChickamauga-Chattanooga

National Military Park. Ogden isa noted Civil War historian,especially for the Chattanoogaand North Georgia area.

Cleveland Cub Scout Pack3477 opened the program bypresenting the colors and lead-ing those in attendance in thePledge of Allegiance.

The invocation was providedby Mike Downs of Knoxville,commander of the TennesseeSons of Union Veterans of theCivil War.

Bradley County Mayor GaryDavis was unable to attend, butexecutive assistant LindsayHathcock welcomed those inattendance. “This area (of thecounty) has had a tremendousamount of changes over theyears,” Hathcock said in urgingeveryone to enjoy the program.

Melissa Woody, Vice Presidentof Tourism Development for theChamber of Commerce, wel-comed everyone on behalf of theCommerce, and urged everyoneto enjoy the history of the area.She said tourism has a $121million impact on BradleyCounty’s economy.

Woody also had words fromDr. Bryan Reed of ClevelandState Community College, whowas unable to make the event.Reed is president of the BradleyCounty Historical andGenealogy Society.

Woody pointed out thatTennessee is the only state thatis a Civil War Heritage Area,adding that “Investment in pre-serving the past is an invest-ment in our future.”

Another speaker was MaryAnn Peckham, ExecutiveDirector of the Tennessee CivilWar Preservation Association.She is also a member of theTennessee SesquicentennialCommission.

Peckham said a touchpointfor all Americans is to under-stand the Civil War’s impact onthe homefront, like those wholived in South Bradley County.

She said the Commission’sgoal for the 150 anniversary ofthe Civil War was to keep thehistory alive. She added thatthis includes the lesser-knownbattles, like the fighting inBradley County.

She said these battles, per-

haps, shaped the destiny of thewar.

Sam Elliott, a Chattanoogaattorney and former Chairmanof the Tennessee HistoricalCommission, spoke of his role inapproval of the “No Man’s Land”marker.

“It plays a significant role inthe study and preservation ofTennessee’s Civil War history,”he said.

“When we approved a marker,it has to be significant about aperson, location, or event,”Elliott said. “It has to be ofstatewide significance.”

Elliott said it is not easy to geta marker approved, andapplauded the research andwork McCoy put into the packethe submitted. Approval comesfrom the full Commission.

Ogden provided extensiveinformation about the time ofthe Civil War when the areabetween Cleveland and Daltonwas “No Man’s Land.”

He said much of the fightingwas made by family membersand neighbors. “It’s easy to losethe fact that the war (on thelocal front) was a contact ofsocieties, communities, andneighbors,” he said. “It was awar that went yard to yard anddoor to door.”

“Here at the Lusk home, therewas fighting in the front yardand at the front door,” Ogdencontinued. “It was a war thatdid come home.”

“There were tens of thousandsof troops who trudged up anddown these valleys, betweenCleveland and Chattanooga,”Ogden said.

“This valley was truly ‘NoMan’s Land’, leading to thefighting in Chickamauga andLookout Mountain,” he added.“The fighting between December1863 and May 1864 was to con-trol the railroad, and a vitalgateway to the region.”

“This marker reintroduces usto another, very personal, war,”Ogden continued. “It was a warwaged from door to door. Thisregion, like many others acrossthe nation, were divided.”

Ogden said that with thisnewest Civil War marker, “Wehave the promise that this andother stories will be told.”

“Each student had a newappreciation of the world and peo-ple from other cultures. Onewants to see the whole world afterthat first experience,” she added.

Continuing her approval,Pesterfield said, “I highly recom-mend it.”

Bradley Cleveland PublicEducation Foundation voiced itssupport for the project early on.

Executive Director Lynn Voelzpraised the collaboration betweenthe Bradley County and ClevelandCity school systems.

“Carol Dale and Lisa Eulo havebecome a unified team in thisendeavor,” she said. “They havespent years working together tothe benefit of their school sys-tems, and this project is no differ-ent.”

According to an April parent-information meeting, the academ-ic exchange will last two weeks.Students from the two schools willstay with host families. TheAmerican students will accompa-ny the German students to theirclasses and experience everydaylife in Germany.

A full weekend in the middle ofthe two-week visit will be used toexplore local cities.

Eulo and Dale applied for aFund for Teachers fellowship inthe fall to finance a trip toBurghausen this summer. BCPEFprovided several workshops tohelp applicants work throughtheir Fund for Teachers propos-als.

Dale and Eulo will use the tripas an opportunity to visit the twopartner schools and scope outlocal sights of cultural interest.

Dale said she and Eulo willbring materials from their initialvisit into the classroom through-out the 2015-16 school year.

“Students will be required tothink critically and problem solveas they investigate and explore thetown of Burghausen,” she said.“They will consider the school and

home environments, food, culturepractices, economics, religion andlanguage.”

According to Dale, the encoun-ters with German citizens ofBurghausen will encourage stu-dents to “recognize different cul-ture perspectives and to becomemore compassionate neighbors.”

The ideal participant for theexchange trip is: A student atWalker Valley High School orCleveland High School; wellbehaved; academically strong;and studying in the German lan-guage program at one of theschools.

“We don’t anticipate a hugenumber of students and theirfamilies to apply,” she said. “Infact, conversations with seasonedGAPP schools have revealed weneed to be ready to take students

who may not be in the Germanprogram at our respectiveschools.”

Initial cost estimates revealedeach participating student willhave to pay at least $2,000 forflight and land transportation,although the amount is subject tochange.

The cross-cultural experiencehas the potential to have anintense and far-reaching impacton the participants.

“One of the most importantways students can develop cul-ture competence is through inten-sive immersion, being a culturaloutsider and having opportunitiesfor cultural reflection,” Dale said.“They will build an understandingof a new context and then be ableto reflect more thoughtfully ontheir own.”

Dale has formed a partnership with Bradley Central lan-guage teacher Lisa Eulo as they pursue an exchange program with two schools in Burghausen,Germany. The two teachers will make a trip to Germany this summer.

CHS, WVHS collaborate on student exchange program

Special to the Banner

A select group of students fromWalker Valley and Cleveland highschools will have an opportunityto immerse themselves in anotherculture through a German-American partnership program.

Carole Dale, Cleveland Highforeign language teacher, said shelearned about the program severalyears ago at a National ForeignLanguage conference. A chanceconversation with Walker Valleyforeign language teacher Lisa Eulorevealed a mutual interest in theprogram.

The two formed a partnership

in the summer of 2014 to furtherstudy the opportunity.

“It immediately seemed to be aperfect fit for us,” Dale said.

The two teachers, althoughemployed in different school sys-tems, will be traveling to Germanythis summer, taking a preliminarystep for the exchange program.

GAPP was founded in 1972 withthe purpose of initiating anddeveloping short-term studentexchange programs between theUnited States and Germany.

The two instructors contactedGAPP and selected Burghausen asthe city to visit. Dale explained thechoice was made largely because

Burghausen is the hometown ofWacker Chemie , which is buildinga billion-dollar-plus facility inBradley County. The new plant isa stone’s throw from Walker ValleyHigh School.

Two German schools, Maria-Ward-Realschule Burghausen andKurfurst-Maximilian-GymnasiumBurghausen, have agreed to part-ner in the student exchange.

Dale said the GAPP experiencewill allow Bradley County andCleveland students to “gleaninsight” into the global connectionat work in their “own backyard.”

“Our students are a part of ageneration to which it is funda-mentally important to remaincompetitive on a global scale,”Dale said. “Global competency, inparticular the ability to communi-cate properly and effectivelyacross borders and the ability totruthfully analyze primarysources in order to plan for wor-thy exchange of goods and infor-mation, are skills which areimmediately important for us aseducators to include in our cur-riculum.”

Eulo and Dale recently receivedapproval from both the Clevelandand Bradley County Boards ofEducation to pursue the partner-ship.

City school board memberPeggy Pesterfield said nothingcompares to the value of experi-encing a culture firsthand.

“I took several groups of stu-dents to Europe when I taughtFrench, and they all felt very dif-ferently about the world whenthey came home,” she said. “Theywere amazed at both the similari-ties and the differences.”

Former FloridA Gov. Jeb bush speaks to journalists at the e-Estonia Showroom during his visitin Tallinn, Estonia on Saturday. Bush visits Estonia, a once-bleak Soviet state that now has a growing,free-market economy. If he was trying to stoke memories of his father and his legacy as president, Bushappears to have largely succeeded.

Bush happy to echo father’slegacy in eastern Europe

TALLINN, Estonia (AP) — JebBush strolled the halls of thePolish parliament, praisedGermany’s economic boom sincethe fall of the Berlin Wall and vis-ited Estonia, a once-bleak Sovietstate that now has a growing,free-market high-tech economy.

If the goal was to stoke memo-ries of his presidential father andavoid those of his presidentialbrother, it seems to have largelysucceeded.

“If you think about, in terms ofhistory, my dad’s managing — incooperation with great leaders ofhis time ... the fall of the SovietUnion. It’s been talked about atevery stop we’ve made,” JebBush said Friday.

The former Florida governor,who’s set to enter the 2016 pres-idential race Monday, never men-tioned his brother.

In the U.S., Jeb Bush routinelyexpresses his love and respect forhis brother, former PresidentGeorge W. Bush, who left officelargely unpopular with manyEuropeans, mostly due to hisdecision in 2003 to invade Iraq.

In Europe, Jeb Bush tried towalk a path that recalled hisfather, former President GeorgeH.W. Bush, vice president underRonald Reagan and commanderin chief when communism reced-ed.

“Think about how muchchange has taken place in theseyears,” Jeb Bush said. “It’s agood reminder that we’re a lotfreer than we were, and we needto protect that freedom. Andthat’s why the United States

needs to be engaged.”A statue of Reagan adorns the

tree-lined grounds near thePolish parliament building,which Bush visited on Thursdayfor meetings with governmentleaders.

Bush said people told him dur-ing the trip that in 1987, then-Vice President George H.W. Bushgave a nationwide speech inPoland from Krakow that wasuncensored, unheard of at thetime in a nation still governed bya communist government.

In a 1989 visit to Poland, theelder Bush said it was the West’sgoal to “forge closer and enduringties between Poland and the restof Europe.” He returned in 1992,not long after the country’s firstfree presidential election in sixdecades, received a hero’s wel-come and promised that the U.S.would help the young democracy“to succeed and to prosper.”

When Jeb Bush participated ina private group discussion inWarsaw, “he implied that whathis dad did was important forhim,” said AgnieszkaKomorowska of the EastEuropean Democratic Center.

Throughout his visit, Bushstressed that as president, hewould renewed the Americancommitment to its allies inEurope, most notably in theirrelationship with Russia and itspresident, Vladimir Putin. Bushcalled Putin a “bully” who canonly be contained by a show ofrobust force.

“This plays well,” said MichalBaranowski, head of the Warsaw

office of the German MarshalFoundation of the U.S. “This visitis seen as important and good,good for Poland.”

Bush said he spoke with offi-cials in Estonia about strength-ening bonds with former Sovietrepublics “so that countries thatare totally dependent on sourcesof energy from Russia have analternative source of supply tohelp them with their security.”

Bush’s message was aboutmore than Eastern Europe. Heargued that the U.S. needs toplay a larger role in leading coali-tions around the world to con-front Russia and the rise of theIslamic State group.

That was a nod to his father,who built a coalition of nationsbefore countering Iraq’s invasionof Kuwait in 1991.

Bush’s brother assembled asmaller coalition when he invad-ed Iraq in 2003. PresidentBarack Obama has formed acoalition of more than 40 coun-tries to battle IS in Iraq andSyria.

In Berlin on Tuesday, Bushreminded his German audiencewhat strong U.S.-European tieshad accomplished, including thereunification of Germany afterthe fall of the Soviet Union.

“That reunification, as you allknow, was not inevitable,” Bushsaid to a crowd that includedGerman Chancellor AngelaMerkel. “But Chancellor (Helmut)Kohl was adamant and my fatherwas deeply supportive. Becauseof that, Germany is whole andfree.”

Caught in the middle: War inUkraine creates no man’s lands

KATERYNIVKA, Ukraine (AP)— A single crack of an automaticrifle shattered the tomb-likesilence of this no-man’s-land vil-lage in east Ukraine. The gun-shot, fired in error by a jumpysoldier, sent government borderguard troops on patrol this weekscrambling to brace against theambush they expect every timethey venture into Katerynivka.

The men said that four of theirfellow soldiers were killed in arecent clash with separatistrebels.

“Katerynivka is nominally theterritory of Ukraine, but for thetime being it is just a buffer zonewhere there could be bandits andseparatist militants,” said PavloPetrovich, known to fellow sol-diers by the code-name Papa, aborder guard service volunteerfrom the western region ofChernivtsi. Like others in thetown, he declined give his sur-name, using only his first nameand patronymic.

What Ukrainian troops call abuffer zone is a village of a fewhundred people stretched along acorrugated dead-end countrylane hemmed in by heaving trees.Most of the young, fit and ablehave long left, as one nervousresident explained.

“I lived here with a son, adaughter-in-law and their child,”said Pyotr Vladimirovich, dab-bing sweat from his sun-roastedbrow. “I am the only one left. Ican’t just abandon everything.”

For groceries, residents ven-ture to the village shop, whichremains open only until lunch.

After then, few dare to bravethe outdoors.

“I just take care of the proper-ty, there’s nothing else to do,”said Pyotr, who worked as a busdriver before the war broke out.

Water is drawn from wells,while electricity is still providedwithout interruption.

The sound of shelling begins asdusk nears. Katerynivka hasbeen spared much direct damageand the projectiles largely whistleover to fall closer to Ukrainianpositions a few minutes up theroad.

Still, venturing around the vil-lage is fraught with risks and anyfalse step is potentially life-threatening. Over the weekend, alocal 54-year old cowherd washospitalized with grievous shrap-nel wounds after setting off atripwire while leading his ani-mals to graze. The homemade

explosive device was made with acoil from a spring mattress.

Ukrainian soldiers say it waslaid by rebels, some of whom theysay are likely from the village.

“Most of the healthy male pop-ulation is fighting on the side ofthe LPR,” said Papa, using theinitials of the self-styled break-away Luhansk People’s Republicmovement. “They remain in com-munication with their familiesand sometimes carry out attackson our checkpoints.”

Until a few weeks ago, peoplecould travel to and from sepa-ratist areas by driving along aroad running past the turnoff toKaterynivka. Soldiers guardingthe way now turn back all traffic.

As the 450-kilometer (280-mile) line separating governmentand rebel territory began toevolve into a fixed feature lastyear, Ukrainian authorities creat-ed an unwieldy system of permitsfor movement from one zone intothe other.

With fighting surging againnear the main separatist strong-hold, only one of the corridorshas been left open in the two sep-aratism-plagued regions ofDonetsk and Luhansk. Thingsare arguably harder in theLuhansk region, where the iras-cible governor, Hennadiy Moskal,has decreed that no civilians areany longer allowed to travelbetween government and rebel-controlled areas.

“Why should I let people gothrough, just so they can getfired at with grenade-launchersand machine guns?” Moskalsaid. “I have responsibilitiesbefore the president, the govern-ment and the people of Ukraineto preserve lives.”

As the eponymous regionalcapital of Luhansk is held by sep-aratists, Moskal is forced to runhis office out of the relative back-water of Severodonetsk, wherelivelihoods have revolved sinceSoviet times around the localchemical factories. Only 30 kilo-meters (18 miles) from the frontline, the town is blissfully somno-lent and thoughts of war appeardistant.

Children tug at the branches ofmulberry trees whose fruit other-wise drops to the ground to stainthe sidewalks layered in fluffypoplar seeds. A pedestrian areaalong Lenin Street is a magnet foryoung mothers pushing buggies.In the early summer midday sun-shine, few stay outside for long

though.But if formal control over

Severodonetsk is more clearlydefined, uncertain popular loyal-ties make it no less an ambigu-ous quantity than Katerynivka.

The town came under the swayof armed rebels for a brief periodlast year — long enough toensure presidential elections inMay could not be held there.

On the face of it, things havechanged. Severodonetsk sportshallmarks of a more ferventlypatriotic new order. In front ofthe imposing, colonnaded Houseof Culture building, a plinth oncetopped by the statue of VladimirLenin, the Bolshevik leaderreviled by Ukrainian nationalists,stands empty save for the nation-al blue-and-yellow flag. A crazehas swept through Ukraine forthe removal of Lenin monu-ments, regardless of abidingfondness among many elderlypeople for the communist era.

The ties that bind the regionwith Russia — whose strong rolein organizing and supporting theseparatist movement is widelyaccepted — are still readilyapparent. Advertising noticesglued to lampposts and notice-boards almost all offer holidaypackages to Russia’s south.

Economic ties are being madeinto a formal reality in rebelareas, where pensions havestarted to be paid in Russianrubles. The currencies of Ukraineand Russia are used inter-changeably in the separatist fief-doms, with the latter said to pre-vail where militiamen fromRussia have gathered in largenumbers.

Pro-Russian sympathies havehistorically been strong in aregion where Ukrainian identityhas tended to be much weakerthan elsewhere in the country.Russian is spoken almost univer-sally and if Ukrainian is heard intowns like Severodonetsk, it isnow more likely to be comingfrom the mouths of troops gar-risoned there.

Soldiers are viewed withresentment, not least for theirnot infrequent propensity foraggressive boozing, which has ledto a blanket ban on the sale ofalcohol to troops. A trio of disap-pointed and empty-handed menin military fatigues observedWednesday trudging from oneshop to another in Severodonetsksuggested liquor vendor are hold-ing up their end of the bargain.

Leftist mayors take over Madrid, Barcelona in historic turnMADRID (AP) — Spain’s

biggest cities — Madrid andBarcelona — were completingone of the nation’s biggest politi-cal upheavals in years Saturdayby swearing in far-left mayors.The radical leaders have prom-ised to cut their own salaries,halt homeowner evictions andeliminate perks enjoyed by therich and famous.

The leadership changes camethree weeks after Spain’s twolargest traditional parties werepunished in nationwide localelections by voters groaningunder the weight of austeritymeasures and repulsed by astring of corruption scandals.

In Madrid, 71-year-old retiredjudge Manuela Carmena wassworn in to cheers from jubilantleftists who crowded the streetsoutside city hall shouting “YesWe Can!” as they ended 24 yearsof rule by the conservativePopular Party in Spain’s capital.

“We want to lead by listening topeople who don’t use fancy titlesto address us,” Carmena saidafter being voted in as mayor bya majority of Madrid’s new citycouncilors.

Carmena has vowed amongother things to take on wealthyMadrilenos who enjoy exclusiveuse of the city-owned Club deCampo country club — opening itup to the masses. “We’re creatinga new kind of politics that doesn’tfit within the conventions,” shesaid before being voted in. “Getready.”

In Barcelona, anti-evictionactivist Ada Colau was expectedto be sworn in as the city’s firstfemale mayor Saturday evening.

Colau has questioned whetherit’s worth spending 4 millioneuros ($4.5 million) of city moneyto help host the glitzy Formula 1race every other year. She thinksthe funds would be better spenton free meals for needy childrenat public schools.

Carmena and Colau ran foroffice as leaders of leftist coali-tions supported by the new pro-worker and anti-establishmentPodemos — “We Can” — partyformed last year. It is led by thepony-tailed college professorPablo Iglesias, a big supporter ofGreece’s governing far-left Syriza

Party.Iglesias smiled from a balcony

inside Madrid’s city hall as hewatched Carmena being swornin, then pumped his arm into theair with a clenched fist as he cel-ebrated the victory with otherson the streets, saying the left’stakeover of Madrid should beseen as the goal his party hasnationally.

“Our principal objective is tobeat the Popular Party in thegeneral elections,” Iglesias said.

The political fragmentationpropelling Carmena and Colauinto office marks a historicmoment in Spanish politics, saidManuel Martin Algarra, a com-munications professor at theUniversity of Navarra who spe-cializes in public opinion.

“Madrid and Barcelona for thefirst time are not going be gov-erned by political parties, but bycoalitions made up of socialmovements,” he said. “This was apunishment vote to the tradition-al political establishment inSpain.”

For Carmena’s Ahora Madrid— or “Madrid Now” — coalitionwith the Socialist Party, thatmeans a mandate to roll backmoves by the Popular Party toprivatize city services, as well ascarry out audits of the city’sdebts and contracts awarded toprivate companies seen as politi-cal cronies, said Pablo Carmona,an incoming Madrid city coun-cilor.

The coalition also wants to setup a municipal anti-eviction divi-sion, create a housing bank ofvacant apartments for needy res-idents and provide cheap qualitydaycare to working class fami-lies.

Before becoming a judge,Carmena was a labor lawyerdefending worker-rights activistsdetained during the dictatorshipof Francisco Franco that endedin 1975. The law firm she co-founded was targeted by a right-wing extremist who killed five ofher colleagues and wounded fourin an attack in 1977.

In Barcelona, the 41-year-oldColau is best known for leadingthe Platform for People Affectedby Mortgages, formed in 2009 tofight evictions of crisis-hit home-

owners who under Spanish lawmust still repay much of whatthey owe to lenders even afterlosing foreclosed homes.

Colau, who will be Barcelona’sfirst female mayor, has raisedeyebrows by siding with resi-dents who say their neighbor-hoods are unlivable because thecity has too much tourism. Themain complaints are passengersdisembarking from cruise shipsand visitors who stay in illegallyrented apartments.

“If we don’t want to becomeVenice, some sort of limit on thetourism burden will be needed inBarcelona,” Colau told the lead-ing El Pais newspaper. “We cangrow more, but I don’t know howmuch.”

There’s no way of knowing howmuch Carmena and Colau willshake up the status quo becausetheir coalitions are “groupings ofpeople with different opinionsand very little political experiencewho are going to try new thingsand some of them will not beviable,” said Martin Algarra.

“In Barcelona,” Colau said, “abet was made for change.”

North Korea accuses U.S. oftargeting it with live anthrax

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — NorthKorea is accusing the UnitedStates of targeting it with anthraxand wants the U.N. SecurityCouncil to look into they calledAmerica’s “biological warfareschemes.”

A letter from North Korea’s U.N.ambassador to the council presi-dent and the U.N. chief, madepublic Friday, claims that theU.S. “possesses deadly weaponsof mass destruction” that it is try-ing to use against them.

U.S. defense officials disclosedin late May that low concentra-tion samples of live anthrax wereshipped to labs in 19 states andfour countries, including a U.S.military facility in South Korea.

The anthrax was supposed tohave been killed with gamma raysbefore being shipped.

The spokesman for the currentcouncil president, Malaysia, saidhe had not heard of any initia-tives on the council to take up theissue but would inquire further.

N.Y. rural residents on edge as search for 2 killers continues

PLATTSBURGH, N.Y. (AP) —Residents in rural New York,unaccustomed to locking theirdoors, day or night, were on edgeSaturday as the massive man-hunt for two killers stretched outover an eighth day and the twomen remained undetected aftercutting themselves out of a max-imum-security prison with powertools.

More than 800 law enforce-ment officers in the hunt forDavid Sweat and Richard Mattscoured the fields andAdirondack woods several milesaround the Clinton CorrectionalFacility in Dannemora near theCanadian border.

The search resumed the morn-ing after a prison worker wascharged with smuggling in hack-saw blades, chisels, a punch anda screwdriver bit to help the menescape. Joyce Mitchell appearedin handcuffs before a judge inPlattsburgh on Friday night; herlawyer entered a not guilty pleaon her behalf.

On Saturday, John St.Germain, who lives in the small

town of Cadyville, was scanningthe skyline and the SaranacRiver with a pair of binoculars.

“I’m kinda just looking atthings along the river,” he said.“The river is real high right now.And if I see something, I knowwhat to do.”

Kevin Farrington, a city engi-neer in Plattsburgh, stood closewatch over his 2-year-old sonDylan as the toddler jumped atthe chance to go outside for thefirst time since the prison break.A contingent of about 40 armedofficers scanning the fieldacross the highway set the fam-ily at ease for the first time allweek.

“Obviously, you know theprison is there, but there’s neverbeen an incident so you feelsecure,” said Farrington, whomoved to the banks of theSaranac River 13 years ago.

“When something like thishappens, you think about a cou-ple of guys who are pretty badactors capable of anything,”Farrington said. “You knowthey’re desperate and probably

not going to want to be takenalive. They’ll probably go to anylengths.”

Farrington said he keeps aloaded gun inside his home, justin case.

The 51-year-old Mitchell, a tai-lor shop instructor at the prison,was arraigned Friday on a felonycharge of promoting prison con-traband and a misdemeanorcount of criminal facilitation.

Mitchell was ordered held injail on $100,000 cash bail or$200,000 bond. She was movedto a jail in another countySaturday morning at the requestof the Clinton County sheriff andis due back in court Mondaymorning.

Mitchell is accused of befriend-ing the 34-year-old Sweat and48-year-old Matt and giving themthe contraband, according tocriminal complaints. DistrictAttorney Andrew Wylie said earli-er the contraband didn’t includethe power tools the men used tocut holes in their cell walls and asteam pipe to escape through amanhole last weekend.

Mark Kelly, as the USS Gabrielle Giffords, a littoral combat ship built at the AustalUSA shipyards in Mobile, Ala, is christened during a ceremony Saturday in Mobile, Ala. FormerU.S. Rep. Gabrielle “Gabby” Giffords of Arizona had a Navy vessel named in her honor during aceremony at a Mobile, Alabama, shipyard Saturday afternoon.

Navy ship christened for Giffords, who was wounded in 2011 shooting

MOBILE, Ala. (AP) — FormerU.S. Rep. Gabrielle “Gabby”Giffords of Arizona had a Navyvessel named in her honor dur-ing a ceremony at a Mobile,Alabama, shipyard Saturdayafternoon.

Giffords joined others includ-ing Jill Biden, wife of VicePresident Joe Biden, as the USSGabrielle Giffords was chris-tened in coastal Alabama. The419-foot ship was built at theAustal shipyard and is theNavy’s 10th littoral combat shipdesigned to operate in shallowwaters near the coast.

Giffords was badly woundedin a 2011 shooting that left sixdead and 13 injured in Tucson.The Democrat left Congress andlater founded an organizationthat supports gun control.

“In congress I was proud tosupport our armed forces. I love

the Navy — I even married asailor,” Giffords said as shekissed her husband Mark Kelly,a retired Navy captain and astro-naut who stood by as sheaddressed the crowd. “Thankyou to all who built this ship.She’s stealthy; she will defendfreedom around the world.”

Giffords was chosen as thevessel’s namesake because ofthe characteristics she exempli-fied after the attack, officialssaid.

“Courage comes in many,many forms — physical, mental,spiritual and political. Gabbyhas truly modeled courage andresilience,” said Vice AdmiralPhilip Cullom, deputy chief ofNaval operations for fleet readi-ness and logistics.

Biden was the ship’s sponsorand Cullom said her spirit willguide the vessel while it is in

service. Biden called the ship afeat of engineering excellence.

During his speech, Kellypaused to thank Biden forattending the ceremony as shemourns the death of her stepsonformer Delaware AttorneyGeneral Beau Biden. Biden, aDelaware National Guard majorwho spent a year in Iraq and wasawarded a Bronze Star, died May30 after a two-year battle withbrain cancer.

“Know that Beau was the kindof person that made us alldeeply hopeful for our country’sfuture. He did that for Gabbyand for me,” Kelly said.

“As a military mom, there isno one I would rather be withthan you here today, the oneswho stepped up to serve,” Bidensaid, also adding, “Gabby repre-sents the same qualities theNavy embodies.”

NAACP leader to speak Monday; parents say she lied on race

SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) —Spokane NAACP leader RachelDolezal says she will speak aboutthe furor over racial identitysparked after her parents said shehas falsely portrayed herself asblack for years.

KHQ-TV in Spokane reportedthat Dolezal sent a message toNAACP members saying shewould address the situation at aMonday night meeting of thegroup.

“As you probably know by now,there are questions and assump-tions swirling in national andglobal news about my family, myrace, my credibility, and theNAACP,” Dolezal’s message said. “Ihave discussed the situation,including personal matters, withthe Executive Committee.

“I support their decision to waituntil Monday to make a state-ment. The Executive team askedthat I also release my responsestatement at the same time, whichwill be during the 7-9 p.m. month-ly membership meeting.”

Dolezal is a 37-year-old artistand activist with dark curly hairand light-brown skin. Her parentsin Montana have produced pic-tures of her as a blonde, blue-eyedchild to prove that she is white.

The city of Spokane is investi-gating whether she lied about herethnicity when she applied to beon the police board. And police onFriday said they were suspendinginvestigations into racial harass-ment complaints filed by Dolezal,including one from earlier thisyear in which she said shereceived hate mail at her office.

“My sons and I would appreci-ate your thoughts, prayers andsupport during the interlude,”Dolezal also said in her message.

The NAACP issued a statementFriday supporting Dolezal, whohas been a longtime figure inSpokane’s human-rights commu-nity and teaches African studiesto college students.

“One’s racial identity is not aqualifying criteria or disqualifyingstandard for NAACP leadership,”the group said. “In every corner ofthis country, the NAACP remainscommitted to securing political,educational and economic justicefor all people.”

Dolezal has not returned sever-al telephone messages left by TheAssociated Press.

On Thursday, she avoidedanswering questions directlyabout her race and ethnicity in aninterview with The Spokesman-Review newspaper.

“That question is not as easy asit seems,” she said. “There’s a lotof complexities ... and I don’t knowthat everyone would understandthat.”

“We’re all from the African con-tinent,” she added.

The Spokesman Review inSpokane reported Saturday thatthe black man she claims is herfather implied otherwise in a brieftelephone interview. AlbertWilkerson Jr. said that he has“nothing negative to say aboutRachel” and was reluctant to getinvolved in the controversy.

“I don’t want to throw anyoneunder the bus,” Wilkerson said.Asked about social media postingsin which Dolezal identifies him asher father, Wilkerson replied: “Youknow the answer to that, andthat’s all I’m going to say,” thenhung up.

Ruthanne Dolezal of Troy,Montana, told reporters this weekthat she has had no contact withher daughter in years. She saidRachel began to “disguise herself”after her parents adopted fourAfrican-American children morethan a decade ago. Rachel latermarried and divorced a black manand graduated from historicallyblack Howard University.

Ruthanne Dolezal also showedreporters pictures of her daughteras a child, with blonde hair, blueeyes and straight hair.

Her daughter dismissed thecontroversy, saying it arose fromlitigation between other relativeswho have divided the family.

Ruthanne Dolezal said the fam-ily’s ancestry is Czech, Swedishand German, with a trace ofNative American heritage. Sheproduced a copy of her daughter’sMontana birth certificate listingherself and Larry Dolezal asRachel’s parents.

Meanwhile, an inquiry wasopened at Spokane City Hall,where Dolezal identified herself inher application to the Office ofPolice Ombudsman Commissionas having several ethnic origins,including white, black andAmerican Indian.

GREY BRIGGS sketches a willow tree while her daughter IvyBriggs paints a picture of the same tree at the Old Woolen Mill.


Birds chirped and a slightbreeze blew as if inviting theartists to come settle in and drawa while.

That is what a group ofCleveland artists did Saturdayduring an Art Meet Up at the OldWoolen Mill.

Coordinator Jamie Barks saidshe chose the location because“it’s this kind of a sad, interest-ing, yet inspiring place. I feel likethere is a good energy here andthere is a lot of potential in thisspace. “

“I’ve always been drawn totelling a story through picturesand images,” Barks said. Barksreceived permission from ownerDr. Ron Coleman to hold theevent at the site.

“It’s awesome and we should dothis more,” attendee CarieFaricelli said. “The communityshould support things like this inthe future.”

The willow tree beyond theWeaver’s Room proved to be afavorite sketch subject that day.

“Willow trees are my favoritetrees. The are such a beautifulsymbol of life and vitality becausethey always have to grow nearwater,” Barks said

Mother and daughter Grey andIvy Briggs also chose to focus onthe willow tree.

“I like art,” Ivy Briggs said,commenting that painting washer favorite.

Grey Briggs said she was famil-iar with the Old Woolen Millbecause “my husband takes pic-tures here a lot.” Briggs said shewas excited for the opportunity todraw at the site and talk withother local artists.

“I used to be an art major yearsand years ago, then I switched toEnglish instead. I thought itwould be cool to just have achance to do art for a couple ofhours away from the house,” GreyBriggs said.

For both Briggs and Faricelli oilpainting is their favorite art medi-um. Each has also been paintingsince they were teenagers.

“I started at a little art leagueup in Indiana, then I eventuallywent to the American Academy ofArt,” Faricelli said.

Faricelli took pictures at theMill to serve as inspiration forfuture projects.

“I’ve always found that beingaround other creative people willfoster more creative thoughts,”Faricelli said.

Self-proclaimed hobby artistJohn Kalabus said he was inter-ested in having the opportunity tomeet with other artists. Despiteno one else in his family being anartist, Kalabus embraced thehobby at a young age.

He also took some photos of theOld Woolen Mill that he might useas inspiration for acrylic paint-ings in the future.

“It’s a very interesting place,”Kalabus said.

He said the brickwork andoverall architecture were appeal-ing to him.

Art of another kind could beseen throughout the site as graf-fiti has been sprawled on severalwalls.

Barks plans to hold more ArtMeet Up events in the future.

Arms earns spot on national volleyball teamBy JOE CANNON

Banner Assistant Sports Editor

Some take rejection as acause to quit, others use it asmotivation to work harder.

One local athlete has takenthe latter approach, using it asa springboard to earn a chanceto represent the nation in ath-letic competition.

Bradley Central rising seniorBreelee Arms got noticed forher volleyball skills at a recentregion tournament in Atlantaand was invited to a special try-out in Memphis, where she waschosen to be a part of theUnder Armour National 18-under Team this winter.

“This is a big opportunity forme,” she related. “I’m proud ofpushing myself to get to thispoint. It taught me to never giveup, even when you’ve been toldyou can’t play.”

Having picked up volleyballin middle school as a way tocontinue to play sports, Armsfound that she really liked thegame and the competition itprovided.

“I played soccer and was acheerleader, but when I got tomiddle school I was told Icouldn’t do both, so I chose vol-leyball instead of soccer, sinceit wouldn’t interfere with cheer-leading,” she explained. “Themore I got into it (volleyball),the more I liked it.”

After three seasons on themiddle school level, Armsmoved up to high school ball,but at the end of her freshmanseason was reportedly toldshe’d “never be more than a JV(junior varsity) player.” Afterreceiving the discouraging ass-esment, she switched schoolsin hopes of a fresh start.

“Everybody at Bradley wel-comed me and made me feel athome,” commented Arms, whois also a varsity basketballcheerleader. “Brooke(Copeland, a two-time all-statevolleyball and basketball playerand current University ofFlorida hoop standout) andRebecca Reuter (an all-statebasketball performer andstandout volleyball player whois now on the hoop court forMiddle Tennessee State)became two of my best friends.All the players and coachesencouraged me and helped me

to improve my game.”“Breelee works extremely

hard and is always pushingherself to do better,” statedBearette head coach ChristieMcElhaney. “She loves thegame of volleyball. She’s a veryvocal leader and is her ownworst critic.”

By the time the 2013 seasonopened, Arms had earned herway into the Bradley varsityrotation as the team’s libero.

She opened her sophomoreseason with five digs against PolkCounty on a Monday and thenturned right around the nextnight for 13 digs and a trio of “firein the hole” service aces against2012 TSSAA state tournamentparticipant East Hamilton.

Along with two solid seasonsas the Bearettes’ defensive spe-cialist, Arms has also beenplaying “club ball” for a numberof years.

Playing for former OlympianLisa (White) Davis for theGeorgia Adrenaline team out ofFort Oglethorpe, Arms creditsher coaches for her develop-ment as a well-rounded player.Davis played for legendarycoach Catherine Neely at EastRidge and at MTSU before mak-ing the 1996 USA volleyballsquad for the Summer OlympicGames in Atlanta.

“Coach McElhaney andCoach White believed in me,”Arms thanked. “They gave me achance to blossom and contin-ue to grow as a player.”

Playing in the Southern

Region Volleyball Association,White’s Adrenaline squad hasplaced fourth, second, first andsecond the last four years atthe SRVA region tournaments.This year’s championship eventinvolved more than 70 teams.The club teams play a 14-tour-nament season throughoutTennessee, Georgia andAlabama from Februarythrough April.

It was Arms’ play in thisyear’s region tournament thatdrew the attention of scoutsand earned her the invitation toMemphis to compete with 26other players for a spot on theUnder Armour national squad.

She was also one of 80 play-ers from across the country toparticipate in a volleyball show-case event at Georgia StateUniversity in early April.

She will travel to Lake Placid,N.Y., in December for trainingand practice before playing inthe national tournament.

“Last year the tournamentwas held in Puerto Rico, but wedon’t know yet where this year’stournament will be held,” thedaughter of Wendee Gibson andGilbert Arms related.

“It’s going to be differentbecause I’ve never played withthese girls before. It’s not likeplaying at Bradley or for theAdrenaline, where we knoweach other and know what toexpect from each other,” shestated. “Hopefully we’ll be ableto get to know each other inpractice before we go to thenational tournament.”

“This is a great opportunityfor me to be seen by collegecoaches,” assessed Arms, whowants to coach volleyball andteach someday. “I’ve gotteninterest from Tennessee Techand some other schools so far.”

“Right now I’m following a(Under Armour) workout pro-gram to get ready for the highschool season. When schoolstarts, I have to send my gradesin (to UA) weekly,” she stated.“With it being my final year, Iam hoping to step up my role asa leader on the team and helpus have a good season.”

“We are still getting informa-tion bout the (UA) nationalteam, but I’m excited to be apart of it. It’s a real honor.”Arms summarized.

Casteel faces new challengeBy JOE CANNON

Banner Assistant Sports Editor

A local baseball player has done somethinghe’d never done in the first 5 1/2 years of his pro-fessional career, but he wishes he hadn’t.

After 417 games of Minor League Baseball, plusa season in the Australian Baseball League andanother in the prestigious Arizona Fall League,Ryan Casteel has landed on the disabled list.

“You play long enough, it’s bound to happen,”the Bradley Central and Cleveland State standoutstated in a text interview with the BannerSaturday.

The Colorado Rockies farmhand has a tear inhis right quadriceps and is expected to be out ofthe lineup for 6-8 weeks. The “quads” are thelarge muscle in the front of the thigh which isdivided into four distinct portions and acts toextend the leg.

“I’m doing some plasma injections now andresting it,” Casteel related. “I will start baseball

activities again in three weeks.”The 6-foot, 205-pound catcher/designated hit-

ter last played on May 31, injuring his leg whilerunning the bases.

His .354 batting average still leads the Triple-AAlbuquerque squad.

He has 35 hits in 99 at bats so far this season,including seven doubles, a triple and a pair ofhome runs for a .505 slugging percentage and.868 OPS.

Casteel has driven in 19 runs and scored adozen times himself, plus he has two stolen basesin 26 games for the Isotopes of the Pacific CoastLeague.

With his return to the lineup expected in July,local fans wanting to see him play can still makeplans for Albuquerque’s August trip toTennessee.

The closest Casteel will come to home this sea-son is a four-game visit to Nashville, Aug. 19-22.The Isotopes will be in Memphis the previous fourdays (Aug. 15-18).

Warriors renewed, Cavaliersbattered, bruised for Game 5

CLEVELAND (AP) — Weavinghis way toward Golden State’slocker room, where the Warriorswere packing for home, StephenCurry had to handle one lastdouble-team.

Two Cavaliers fans wanted aphoto with him.

“Gotta be quick,” Curry said,pausing and smiling for thegroup selfie.

Curry was happy to please,and happier the NBA Finals weretied again.

With Curry’s shooting touchback to normal, Andre Iguodalaplaying like a younger version ofhimself, and coach Steve Kerr’sgamble to tweak his startinglineup — even if he had to lieabout it — the Warriors knottedthese entertaining finalsThursday night with a 103-82win over the gassed Cavaliers,who are desperate for rest andhelp for LeBron James.

Facing the prospect of fallingbehind 3-1, the Warriors cameout to play. They were energizedfrom the start, and they finishedoff the understaffed Cavs with adominant fourth quarter, a 12-minute bombardment of bigshots to seize momentum goinginto Sunday’s Game 6 at noisyOracle Arena.

These were the Warriors closerto full volume, 9 out of 10.

“We really picked up ourintensity level,” said forwardDraymond Green, who moved tocenter in Kerr’s smaller startinglineup. “We contested shots. Wegot on loose balls, and werebounded. We battled.”

Questioned by some critics forbeing too laid back, the Warriorswere more physical, morefocused and more urgent thanpreviously in this series. They

outran the frazzled Cavs, push-ing the ball up the floor aftermade baskets and imposingtheir will for 48 minutes.

Curry was Curry again. Aftermissing 20 of 26 3-pointers inthe first three games, he

knocked down four 3s andscored 22. He’s made 9 of hislast 15 3-pointers, an encourag-ing sign for the Warriors andsomething that will keep Cavs

WINNIPEG, Manitoba (AP) —Meghan Klingenberg — not HopeSolo — made the biggest save ofthe night for the United States.

Klingenberg, a diminutivedefender, leaped to head a shotby Sweden’s Caroline Seger. Theball hit the crossbar and car-omed away from the goal.

Goal-line technology was usedto confirm the ball never crossedthe line.

The save in the 77th minutepreserved the 0-0 draw withSweden on Friday night in one ofthe most anticipated group-stage matches at the Women’sWorld Cup.

“Brilliant,” U.S. coach JillEllis said of Klingenberg’s hero-ics. “Believe it or not, we actual-ly practice that.”

The match had been hypedbeforehand as the showdownbetween the second-ranked

United States and former coachPia Sundhage, now coach of No.5 Sweden. It did not disappointin the furious second half.

Abby Wambach came off thebench, but her header in the72nd minute was popped upand over the crossbar bySwedish goalkeeper HedvigLindahl.

A win would have assured theUnited States a spot in theknockout round as theAmericans seek their thirdWorld Cup title, but first since1999. The U.S. women advancedto the final four years ago inGermany, but lost to Japan onpenalty kicks.

The United States has onemore group stage match, onTuesday in Vancouver, BritishColumbia, against Nigeria.Sweden heads to Edmonton,Alberta, for its final group matchwith Australia. The monthlongtournament, with an expandedfield of 24 teams, is being playedin six Canadian cities.

The U.S. leads the Group Dstandings with four points, fol-lowing a 3-1 victory over No. 10Australia in the opener. Swedenwas surprised in its opener byNo. 33 Nigeria, which erased a2-0 halftime deficit for a 3-alltie.

Earlier Friday the Matildasdefeated Nigeria 2-0.

Ellis tinkered with her lineupfor the match against Sweden,starting 22-year old MorganBrian while Wambach was onthe bench.

Wambach did give the U.S. aspark after entering in the 68thminute, but couldn’t get pastLindahl, who was named playerof the match.

Klingenberg, who is just 5-foot-2, saved Seger’s shot whileSolo was on the other side of thegoal.

“That was something we prac-ticed this week,” Klingenbergsaid. “I know that when Hopeslides across, I need to tuck inand make sure I’m in position.Luckily I did and I was able tomake the play when I needed

to.”Klingenberg, who played for a

Swedish club team and isfriends with many of the playersshe faced in the game,exchanged jerseys with Segerfollowing the match.

“She said, ‘Are you serious?’”Klingenberg laughed.

Lindahl watched the key playunfold from the other end.

“I did think: goal-line technol-ogy, c’mon!” she said. “But itwasn’t close, actually.”

Lindahl came up with her firstbig save of the match when sheleaped to pop Carli Lloyd’s shotup and over the bar early in thesecond half.

Solo leaped to stop ThereseSjogran’s hard shot from far out

in the 54th minute but it sailedover her fingertips and over thebar.

Solo started in goal for theUnited States as off-field inci-dents continue to haunt her.The United States opened playedthe day after an ESPN reportrevealed new details about herarrest last June in Washingtonstate on domestic violencecharges. The charges were dis-missed earlier this year.

Sundhage was head coach ofthe United States for five years,guiding the team to two Olympicgold medals and the World Cupfinal in Germany. It was the firsttime the Americans hadadvanced to the final since win-ning it all in 1999.

Sundhage left after the 2012London Olympics and returnedhome to coach her nativeSweden’s national team.

Adding to the buildup for thematch, one of the most antici-pated of the group stage, was astory about Sundhage earlier inthe week in The New YorkTimes. In it, Sundhage wasquoted as saying that Lloyd wasa challenge to coach and shesuggested she wouldn’t startWambach at this point in thepopular veteran’s career. Shesaid Solo was one of the mostchallenging players she hadcoached, “especially when itcomes to trouble.”

She talked about those state-ments before the match, sayingthe interview occurred back inApril and she certainly was nottrying to taunt the U.S. team.

The World Cup is being playedas FIFA deals with an ongoingcorruption scandal sparked bythe U.S. Department of Justiceindictment of 14 people withracketeering, wire fraud, moneylaundering and other offenses.Swiss prosecutors are leading aseparate probe into the 2018 and2022 World Cup bidding contests.

FIFA President Sepp Blatter,who is not at the tournament,announced last week that heplans to step down once an elec-tion is held for a successor.


Busch wins in returnto Xfinity Series race

BROOKLYN, Mich. (AP) —After a scary crash at Daytonaleft him with a broken leg andfoot, Kyle Busch had to focuson some pretty simple mile-stones.

“Obviously, the first step wasjust being able to stand up,” hesaid. “Next step was being ableto walk.”

Now Busch can check offsome more advanced accom-plishments in his recovery.

Busch returned to NASCAR’sXfinity Series on Saturday forthe first time since his accident— and he did so with a flourish— winning at MichiganInternational Speedway.

He resumed his Sprint Cupschedule last month, but therace at MIS was his first inNASCAR’s second-tier seriessince breaking his right leg andleft foot in February.

“It’s an emotional day andany win is,” he said. “You neverknow when it’s your last, obvi-ously that’s for sure afterDaytona and what happened.”

It was Busch’s record 71stcareer victory on this circuit.He won the 250-mile, 125-laprace in his No. 54 Toyota by0.477 seconds over ChaseElliott.

Pole winner Joey Logano andKevin Harvick were battling forthe lead on lap 117 whenHarvick brushed against

Logano’s No. 22 Ford, sendingthem both sliding to the out-side. That gave Elliott andBusch a chance to take over thetop two spots, and Buschpassed Elliott five laps later.

“It was going to be hard topass that 22 car, and fortunate-ly Harvick took care of that forme,” Busch said. “They gottogether a little bit. This placewas so fast today and suchhard racing was going on. Ihope it was a good show for thefans because I enjoyed it.”

There were eight cautions for26 laps, as well as a red flagwith 13 laps remaining. Thatstoppage came after PaulMenard hit the wall and wentspinning back down the track,forcing some other cars to thegrass. With chunks of grassand mud all over the place, therace was halted for a few min-utes.

Logano was leading, but itwasn’t long after the finalrestart that Harvick took bothof them out of contention.

“We were racing for a winhere and it just seems like hedrove in there pretty hard try-ing to slide me. I drove up inthere too and he got looseunderneath me and got into myleft rear and up we both wentinto the racetrack,” Loganosaid. “I was racing hard and hejust drove over his head a little

bit.”Logano won his 29th Xfinity

pole and led 54 laps, but hehad to settle for a seventh-placefinish. Harvick finished sixth.

“Obviously, the 22 wouldhave been really hard to beattoday, I think,” Elliott said.“Kevin got into him on accident,and moved him up the race-track, and obviously thatopened up our opportunity tohave a shot at the win. Eventhough we had a shot, it wasn’tas gratifying as it would havebeen to pass those guys for realand get out front the correctway.”

Kyle Larson finished third,and standings leader ChrisBuescher was fourth, extendinghis lead to 25 points over TyDillon.

Busch won in only his secondrace under crew chief ChrisGayle — the first was atDaytona.

“It definitely was a challeng-ing season,” Gayle said. “Westart off with expectations ofhaving Kyle in the whole time,except for the non-companions,and really kind of picking upwhere the 54 left off the lastcouple years. And then obvi-ously, when he gets hurt, yougo through the different rota-tion of drivers, and not exactlyknowing who you’re going tohave week to week.”

CARL EDWARDS sits in his car before practicing for Sunday’s NASCAR Sprint Cup race at MichiganInternational Speedway, Friday in Brooklyn, Mich.

Edwards returns to Michigan,but not for Roush Fenway Racing

BROOKLYN, Mich. (AP) — Carl Edwardsacknowledges this trip to Michigan feels a bitdifferent to him.

“It is a little strange to come here to this raceand not be driving for Jack Roush, because weput so much emphasis on this event for so manyyears,” he said. “To win this race would be reallyspecial for me now just because I know from theother side how much everyone prepares — Jackand the other teams — because for the domesticcar manufacturers, this is their backyard.”

Edwards drives a Toyota now for Joe GibbsRacing after more than a decade with RoushFenway, so perhaps that makes him a bit of anoutsider for Sunday’s NASCAR Sprint Cup raceat Michigan International Speedway. Toyotahasn’t won a Cup race at MIS since 2011, withChevrolet and Ford winning three each sincethen.

Edwards has won twice at this track, but notsince 2008. He was out of the top 20 in his twoattempts last year for Roush Fenway and Ford.

“For me to win in a Toyota would be reallyspecial here,” Edwards said.

Edwards is 16th in the points standings thisyear, but he already has a victory, so he’s ingood shape to reach the Chase for the SprintCup. His old team has been struggling. GregBiffle is in 18th place, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. is28th and Trevor Bayne is 30th. None of thosethree Roush drivers has won a race.

“You take that whole group at Roush FenwayRacing, they don’t quit,” Edwards said. “They’rethe toughest guys in the world. They will keepworking and I don’t ever — I always expect themeach week to come back and be faster andfaster. They’re great competitors.”

Edwards is starting in the second row forSunday’s race. Kasey Kahne took the poleFriday and was followed in qualifying by Kevin

Harvick and Brad Keselowski.Here are a few more things to watch in

Sunday’s 400-mile, 200-lap race:HAPPY MEMORIES: Michigan has always

been a special track for Dale Earnhardt Jr., whowon at MIS in 2008 and 2012, snapping longlosing streaks both times.

Earnhardt will start in position No. 14 onSunday after a so-so qualifying effort.

“I think we will race good. This place is a lotof fun, wide racetrack,” he said. “We will have agood, competitive car. We haven’t qualified wellall year. I don’t get too worried about it when wedon’t do well there.”

HIGH SPEEDS: Michigan is home to some ofthe highest speeds in NASCAR. Jeff Gordon wonthe pole last August at a track-record 206.558mph. Kahne’s speed of 201.992 on Friday waswell short of that, but the track’s reputationremains the same.

“All of us love going fast, that’s why we start-ed racing,” Edwards said. “When you don’t slowdown for the corners, there’s really not a lot ofopportunity to get an advantage on someone. Itreally doesn’t matter to any of us if we’re going200 mph down the straightaway as long as wehave to get in that corner and slide the car andbrake and use our skill set to get through thecorner. Those are the kind of things thatNASCAR and everybody is working on.”

FOLLOWING UP: Martin Truex Jr. will try fora second straight victory after winning atPocono last weekend.

Truex is second in the standings, 39 pointsbehind Harvick, impressive heights for hisFurniture Row Racing team.

“Certainly the last four weeks have beengreat,” Truex said. “I feel like we have shown

PITTSBURGH (AP) — GerritCole allowed two runs in sixinnings to become the first pitch-er in the majors to 10 victoriesthis season as the PittsburghPirates edged the PhiladelphiaPhillies 4-3 on Saturday.

Cole (10-2) struck out sevenwithout a walk to trim his ERA toa major-league best 1.71 whilewinning his fifth consecutivestart. The 24-year-old is now 14-2 in 18 starts dating to lastSeptember.

Starling Marte had three hitsand an RBI for Pittsburgh.Gregory Polanco added two hitsand Andrew McCutchen drove intwo runs as Pittsburgh handedthe Phillies their ninth straightroad loss. Mark Melanconworked a perfect ninth for his20th save.

Ben Revere got three hits forthe Phillies and Maikel Francoand Freddy Galvis each had two.Philadelphia went 1 for 13 withrunners in scoring position andhas dropped eight of nine overall.

Cole’s ascension from the topoverall pick in 2011 to buddingAll-Star is picking up speed. Hewasn’t dominant against thePhillies, who nicked him for anunearned run in the first and anearned in the fourth but settleddown to retire the final nine bat-ters he faced before exiting with a4-2 lead.

The Phillies wasted a chance totie the game in the eighth offTony Watson. Revere led off witha double and scored on a pinch-hit single by Jeff Francoeur topull Philadelphia within one. ThePhillies then loaded the baseswith no outs, only to come upwith nothing. Franco and CodyAsche hit into force plays at homeand Galvis ended the threat witha routine grounder to secondbase.

Philadelphia actually hit Coleharder than the Pirates hitO’Sullivan, but Pittsburgh tookadvantage of the few opportuni-ties it was given. The Piratesscored a pair of runs in the firstwhen the Phillies twice unsuc-cessfully tried to throw out thelead runner on a fielder’s choice.They added two more in the sec-ond on a single, a walk and twoinfield hits by Marte andMcCutchen.

Maybin delivers as Braves beat Mets in 11NEW YORK (AP) — Cameron

Maybin had a two-run single inthe 11th inning, and the AtlantaBraves’ beleaguered bullpenshut down the Mets over thefinal four-plus innings in acome-from-behind, 5-3 victoryover New York on Saturday.

Maybin came up with runnerson second and third and oneout, and sent a liner off CarlosTorres (2-3) into left-center forthe two-run lead.

Facing a Mets bullpen with-out closer Jeurys Familia,whose son was born while hewas finishing off Friday night’swin, the Braves rallied for two inthe ninth to end a five-gameskid against New York.

Andrelton Simmons had fourhits for the Braves, who won forjust the fourth time in 11games.

With 37,794 enthusiastic fansstanding and cheering, FreddieFreeman tied it 3-all with a linerpast diving shortstop WilmerFlores — three pitches after itappeared Alex Torres had strikethree but the 1-2 pitch wascalled a ball. Maybin singled ina run off Hansel Robles beforeFreeman stepped to the plate.

Freeman gave Atlanta theearly lead with a mammothhomer off Jacob deGrom in thefirst.

The Braves had already blownfive saves in June, but Atlantaused six relievers to retire 14 ofthe final 16 batters.

Jason Grilli pitched oneinning for the win (2-2).

Williams Perez, who madefour starts, gave up two singlesto open the 11th before gettingpinch-hitter John Mayberry Jr.to line into a double play toshortstop. He then finished forhis first career save.

The Mets used several defen-sive gems and took advantage ofan error by center fielderMaybin in the seventh inning toopen a 3-1 lead against ShelbyMiller.

New York had runners onbase in every inning but thefourth against the Braves’ 24-year-old ace. Miller, though,worked out of every jam untilthe seventh, when Travisd’Arnaud blooped a single tocenter. Pinch-hitter JuanLagares, who singled to startthe rally and advanced to thirdon Curtis Granderson’s double,scored to make it 1-all.

Granderson scored whenMaybin bobbled the ball in cen-ter field for an error. DanaEveland replaced Miller andLucas Duda then doubled.

In 6 1/3 innings, Millerallowed a season-high eight hitsand three runs, which boostedhis ERA from 1.84 to 2.02.

DeGrom pitched seven domi-nant innings, striking out nine.He allowed five hits and onerun, Freeman’s drive over thebullpens in right-center andonto a pedestrian walkway

called Shea Bridge.He also knocked down

the third and threw home tonail Simmons trying to score,keeping it 1-0.

Flores made a nifty stop, spinand throw to end the seventhwith a runner on third. AndDarrell Ceciliani, having justmoved from center field to left,threw out Maybin trying to tagup on Freeman’s sacrifice fly inthe eighth with a perfect throw.

After third baseman DannyMuno made his third error, withtwo outs in the eighth, BobbyParnell made his first reliefappearance in over a yearbecause of Tommy John surgeryand gave up a single. He thengot A.J. Pierzynski to ground tosecond base to maintain a 3-1lead.

Mets: Dillon Gee will make a

spot start as part of New York’seffort to manage its youngstarters’ innings this season.Recently demoted to thebullpen, the right-hander’s out-ing will give an extra day of restto Matt Harvey, deGrom andNoah Syndergaard. Gee is 6-5with a 3.09 ERA in 16 startsagainst the Braves.

FRIDAY’S GAMEBartolo Colon moved into a tie

for the major league lead withhis ninth win, Wilmer Floresand John Mayberry Jr. home-red, and the New York Mets heldon to beat the Atlanta Braves 5-3 on Friday night.

The 42-year-old Colon (9-4)gave up two runs and six hits insix effective innings as hematched Seattle’s FelixHernandez, who was roughedup at Houston, and Pittsburgh’sGerrit Cole for most victories inbaseball.

Jeurys Familia, whose avail-ability for the game was uncer-tain because he was awaitingthe birth of his child, loaded thebases with one out in the ninthbefore getting Nick Markakis toground into a double play forhis 18th save.

Top prospect Buxton set to join Twins todayARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Byron Buxton,

considered by many the top prospect in theminors, is being promoted from Double-A tomake his major league debut in the MinnesotaTwins’ depleted outfield.

The Twins announced Saturday their planto select his contract from Chattanooga. The21-year-old Buxton will be in uniform Sundayfor the finale of a three-game series in Texas.

Minnesota outfielder Torii Hunter is servinga two-game suspension for his uniform-toss-ing tirade at the umpire and Aaron Hicks wasscratched for his spot in center Saturdaybecause of an elbow problem. The Twins havelost five in a row and recently fell out of their

surprising spot atop the AL Central.Buxton was the second overall pick in the

2012 amateur draft. He was chosen rightbehind shortstop Carlos Correa, who madehis major league debut for Houston onMonday.

In 59 games for Chattanooga this season,Buxton hit .283 with 12 triples, and scored aSouthern League-high 44 runs. He also had37 RBIs, 20 stolen bases and six home runs.

Buxton kept up his rapid ascent to themajors in the last year despite a variety ofinjuries, having sustained a concussion, awrist problem and a dislocated finger.

Buxton played Friday night at Birmingham

and was out of the lineup Saturday. He went2 for 4 in that last game in Double-A and,showing an aggressive running style, wasthrown out on the bases for the secondstraight day.

Drafted from high school in Georgia,Buxton has been on a fast track to the bigleagues. With two-tone hair, he already hasstar power — on Friday night, he tapped boththe both Barons catcher and plate umpire onthe shin guards when he walked into the bat-ter’s box to lead off the game, then easily beata chopper to shortstop.

The Twins will make a corresponding movebefore Sunday’s game.

BALTIMORE (AP) — AlexRodriguez has joined HankAaron as the only players inmajor league history with2,000 career RBIs.

Rodriguez hit a two-runhomer Saturday night for theNew York Yankees in a gameagainst the Baltimore Orioles.The sixth-inning drive off BudNorris lifted A-Rod’s careerRBI total to 2,001.

Hank Aaron ranks first onthe career list with 2,297RBIs.

It was the 666th careerhome run for Rodriguez,fourth on baseball’s all-timelist behind Babe Ruth, Aaronand Barry Bonds.

SCOREBOARDVirginia tops Arkansas in College World Series

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) —Virginia’s Kenny Towns thriveson the pressure this time ofyear. So he was right where hewanted to be in a tie game latein the opener of the CollegeWorld Series.

Towns delivered a tiebreakingeighth-inning double afterDaniel Pinero stole second andthird base, and the Cavaliersdefeated Arkansas 5-3 onSaturday.

“I feel comfortable in the post-season with games on the line.The past couple years I’ve beenhere and I’ve gotten used to it,”said Towns, whose 22 RBIs in26 career NCAA tournamentgames are a school record. “Youwant to rise up for your teamand give them a better chance towin. I’ve been able to get theopportunity and succeed some-times.”

The Cavaliers (40-22), the2014 national runners-up,advanced to a Monday gameagainst the winner of a lateBracket 1 game between Miamiand Florida. The Razorbacks(40-24) will meet the Miami-Florida loser on Monday.

Virginia took a gutsy offensiveapproach, matching its careerhigh with five stolen bases oneight attempts, and ConnorJones turned in a solid six-inning start despite strugglingwith his command.

The Cavaliers, a No. 3 regionalseed and the lowest to make it toOmaha, have won all six of theirgames in the national tourna-ment. They’ve scored 27 of their37 tournament runs in the sixthinning or later.

“That ballgame is kind of howwe played the last couple

weeks,” coach Brian O’Connorsaid. “Connor Jones certainlydidn’t have his best stuff, but hegrinded. Our plan coming intothis World Series was to be veryaggressive and take the fight tothe other team, and we did thatfrom an offensive standpoint.”

Josh Sborz (5-2), who startedtwo CWS games last year and isnow the Cavaliers’ closer, struckout five of 10 batters in threeinnings.

Arkansas tied it at 3 in thefifth on Andrew Benintendi’snation-leading 20th home run.That was the second homer ofthe game at TD Ameritrade Park,which surrendered only threeeach of the past two years in theCWS. Virginia’s Joe McCarthyhad opened the scoring with adrive into the right-field seats inthe second.

The Hogs got a strong outingfrom Trey Killian (3-5), a ninth-round draft pick of the ColoradoRockies who left with one out inthe eighth after Pinero singledfor his third hit. Zack Jacksoncame on, and Pinero stole sec-ond and third on back-to-backpitches.

Towns, a 20th-round pick bythe Los Angeles Angels, fellbehind 1-2 against Jackson, butworked the count full beforedriving the ball into right field toscore Pinero.

“Having Kenny out there in atight ballgame, end of a game, Ihave total confidence in him get-ting the big hit,” Pinero said. “Iknew he would get the big hitand he did.”

KOHLER, Wis. (AP) — RoryMcIlroy needed a break aftermissing the cut two straightweeks.

Returning to the site of whatMcIlroy considers one of hisbreakthrough tournaments — the2010 PGA Championship atWhistling Straits — might give theworld’s top-ranked golfer an extraconfidence boost going into thisweek’s U.S. Open at ChambersBay in Washington.

Not that McIlroy seems tooworried about his game.

“Personally, I didn’t really lookmuch into what happened thoselast two events,” McIlroy saidFriday at media day for this year’sPGA Championship, whichreturns to Whistling Straits inAugust. “Just concentrating whatI really need to do well leading

into next week.”McIlroy had a tough two weeks

in Europe in late May. He missedthe cut at the BMW PGAChampionship in England threeweekends ago.

Born in Northern Ireland,McIlroy missed the cut again atthe Irish Open the following week— a tournament he was hosting,no less, in familiar surroundings.It was a disappointing end to astretch of five straights weeks onthe course.

“I think I can put the last twotournaments on a little bit offatigue,” he said.

So McIlroy took last week off,electing to sit out The Memorial toget some rest at home in Florida.

“I didn’t touch a golf club lastweek. I played five weeks in a row.Mentally, I was ready to have a lit-

tle bit of a break. Just got awayfrom it,” McIlroy said.

Consider Friday’s gathering atWhistling Straits, a scenic publiccourse along Lake Michigan, anunofficial pep rally for McIlroy.

Televisions inside the course’sIrish Barn showed a highlightvideo of McIlroy’s win at the 2014PGA at Valhalla, his fourth victoryat a major. The golfer receivedhonorary jerseys from the GreenBay Packers, Wisconsin Badgersbasketball team and the NBA’sMilwaukee Bucks — the last onepresented to McIlroy by Buckscoach and avid golfer Jason Kidd.

McIlroy can draw on fond mem-ories from the last time the PGAChampionship was at WhistlingStraights five years ago, whenMartin Kaymer won after beatingBubba Watson in a playoff.

McIlroy finished tied for third at10-under, one shot off the lead atthe end of regulation.

“It was my first real chance incontention in a major, especiallygoing into Sunday,” McIlroy said.

It was experience in a pressuresituation from which McIlroycould draw when he won his firstmajor the next year, the 2011U.S. Open at Congressional.

Compared to Congressional,Chambers Bay is a mystery. Just10 years ago, Chambers Bay wasstill being built along PugetSound south of Seattle.

McIlroy will play the course forthe first time on Saturday in apractice round.

“It’s a bit of an unknown foreveryone, Chambers Bay,” hesaid. “From what I’ve heard, it’sgoing to be sort of different.”

The organizers there can onlyhope their tournament can bejust as exciting as the last twoPGA Championships at WhistlingStraits. Besides 2010, the 2004PGA at the course also ended in athree-hole playoff, with VijaySingh defeating Justin Leonardand Chris DiMarco.

“Whether we play it in daylightor night time, they always providedramatic finishes,” said DerekSprague, president of the PGA ofAmerica.

Sitting next to him, McIlroynodded his head in approval.

“What I love about the PGAChampionship and what I hearfrom the players is that it’s a greattest of golf, firm bur fair. It’s rightin front of you,” Sprague said.

Note: David Kohler, generalchair of the 2015 PGAChampionship, said that thisyear’s tournament is already sec-ond in PGA Championship histo-ry in combined ticket and corpo-rate hospitality sales revenue.Only the 2004 championship hadmore combined revenue. Kohler ispresident and CEO of theSheboygan-based manufacturingcompany that bears the familyname, best known for plumbingproducts.


Chambers Bay ready to show off unique layoutUNIVERSITY PLACE, Wash.

(AP) — For the students at thenearby high school, it was simplyknown as the “Sand Pit,” thelandmark two miles down theroad where they would run aspart of gym class.

For the passengers on thetrain between Seattle andPortland, Oregon, it was amoment to look out the otherwindows of the train car and takein the waters of Puget Sound.Looking the opposite directionmeant staring into the teeth ofthe ugly old gravel and sandquarry hugging the shoreline.

A decade ago, that was theproperty now known asChambers Bay. It was sand, andgravel and old concrete pilings.An eyesore. That’s when themetamorphosis began, and ittransformed from a sandy blem-ish into a swath of greenery cutthrough man-made mounds anddunes unique to American golfand, specifically, the PacificNorthwest.

Now the close-up forChambers Bay has arrived: The2015 U.S. Open, a rare occasionwhere the golf course is gettingmore attention than the players.

“It will be everything I knowabout the game being realized,”course designer Robert TrentJones Jr. said. “These weredreams and very, very hard workto craft the great green stageupon which the dream will befulfilled. That’s the reality. It’s nolonger a dream.”

Chambers Bay is a reclama-tion project for the land on whichit sits and for golf in the PacificNorthwest, a segment of theUnited States that is infrequentlyvisited by championship golf.

Looking for green, lush, tree-lined fairways the width of a hall-way with emerald foliage? Head

up the road about an hour toSahalee Country Club, the hostof the 1998 PGA Championship.This is the antithesis of thestereotype for a golf course inthis corner of the country.

Chambers Bay was built asthe opposite of traditional, fromthe way it was constructed, tothe funding behind the project,to the type of grass used on everyfairway and green. The coursewas a risk of political and finan-cial capital. It’s about to have itsbiggest payoff, with a worldwideaudience tuning in to see the fes-cue grass fairways and greens,the undulating, rolling puttingsurfaces and the brown-huedsand dunes all with the back-drop of Puget Sound water, theOlympic Mountains and baldeagles flying overhead.

When the first group tees offThursday morning, ChambersBay will become the youngest

golf course to host the U.S. Opensince Hazeltine — constructed byJones’ father — in 1970.

The creation of Chambers Baywas championed by then PierceCounty Executive JohnLadenburg, who decided the for-mer gravel and sand quarryshould be purchased by thecounty and use $21 million forits construction. From the begin-ning, Ladenburg demanded agolf course that was unique. Partof the reason Jones and his firmwas chosen was their ambition,including the tag “ChambersCreek, home of the 2030 U.S.Open,” in their presentations tothe county.

Thanks to Winged Foot with-drawing its bid to host the 2015Open, that audacious goal wasoff by 15 years.

The golf course was builthand-in-hand with input fromthe USGA, which had on-siteinfluence throughout construc-tion. Put a path there for specta-tor movement. Flatten the tops ofthe dunes so tents and grand-stands may be easily erected.Keep the concrete pilings alongthe 18th — someday they mightbe perfect for corporate suites.

The U.S. Open was always thegoal. Even what seemed likeminor decisions proved vital inhaving a winning bid. Whenmore money could have been putinto providing a clubhouse withgrandeur overlooking the 930acres of the golf course andneighboring public spaces, as anexample, Ladenburg and countystaff insisted the funds be usedfor features that mattered tocourse.

“Every time (Ladenburg) wasgiven a choice between that anda better commercial result,meaning money, he made theright decision,” Jones said.

Among the unique aspects ofChambers Bay is the lack of thetrouble found on other Americancourses. There are no verticalhazards on the golf course, ortrouble with water. The one tree,Lone Fir, sits stoically next to the16th tee. Jones and his groupput the defense of the course inthe sandy waste areas andmounded, rolling green complex-es that will likely cause grum-bles.

“Right away it looks benign. Itseems benign. So what we did isinvest the defense of the coursein and around the green com-plexes. That’s the heart of thegolf course,” Jones said. “Thepulsing blood, flowing placewhere half the strokes in thegame, in a par round, are expect-ed to be made on the greens oron and around the greens.They’re strongly contoured.They’re lightning fast. You can’teven tell where the fairwaybegins and the green starts.”

The course has changedthrough its brief history. The2010 U.S. Amateur served as alaboratory to see how it wouldreact to tournament conditions.Teeing grounds were added.Landing areas were softened.Greens were reconstructed toaccept shots from longer clubs.The entire seventh green waslowered and moved forward afterthe amateur to be more forgiving.Jones and his team even went sofar as to roll basketballs on thereconstructed green to makesure good shots were rewardedand not penalized.

Those changes and the versa-tility of the course will be on fulldisplay during the champi-onship. Some will still remembertheir first impressions of the site

GREG OWEN, of England, chips onto the 16th green during thethird round of the St. Jude Classic Saturday in Memphis. Owen fin-ished the round tied for the lead at 9-under-par 201.

Owen, Gomez fire 67sto take St. Jude lead

MEMPHIS (AP) — England’sGreg Owen has never had apiece of a 54-hole lead on thePGA Tour. Now he hopes he canstay relaxed with the great shortgame that has him in position towin his first title in his 214thtour event.

And winning would mean somuch more than simply having atitle on every tour Owen’s everplayed.

“Just a huge, huge relief thatwhat you’ve been striving foryour whole life you can sayyou’ve achieved,” Owen saidSaturday.

Owen and Fabian Gomez ofArgentina each shot a 3-under-par 67 to share a one-strokelead after 54 holes at the St.Jude Classic, tied at 9-under201 total.

Swirling wind and tough pinskept everyone guessing on a hec-tic day at TPC Southwind, whereas many as six players had apiece of the lead.

Both Owen and Gomez puttedwell on the firm greens despitehitting only 11 of 18 greens.Owen needed 26 putts in mak-ing four birdies and one bogey,while Gomez had 24 puttsdespite three bogeys. He had sixbirdies.

“I’m reading them well, andmy pace is good and I feel goodwith the putter,” Owen said. “I’vebeen working hard.”

Gomez credited hitting hisdriver well and finding fairwayswith leaving him plenty of shortputts.

“I’ve been working since thebeginning of the year,” Gomezsaid through a translator. “Youknow when you make someputts, the confidence gets higherand the game is easier.”

Brooks Koepka had at least apiece of the lead through thefirst two rounds and got to 10under. He finished with a 71 andwas tied with Scott Brown (68)for second at 202.

“It was swirling, swirling somuch we couldn’t even figureout a wind direction,” Koepkasaid. “We knew it was comingfrom the south. Downwind,threw grass up, hit you in theface two seconds later. You neverreally knew where the windwas.”

Matt Jones (68) and AustinCook (72) were tied at 204, andDavid Toms (69) and CamiloVillegas (66) were tied with sixothers at 205. Phil Mickelson(69) was in a group tied at 207.

Owen, 43, who lives inFlorida, has struggled this sea-

son, missing five of 12 cuts ontour. His best career finish issecond at the 2006 ArnoldPalmer Invitational, but his bestresult this season is a tie for22nd last November at theSanderson FarmsChampionship. He knows thismight be his best, last chance ata PGA title.

“I’m in a position where thisyear my career is probably onthe down spiral a little bit,”Owen said. “It’s very upsetting tosay that. There’s a lot of youngkids coming through. You got tobe game. It’s a different gamefrom when I started.”

His lone bogey came at No. 10,and Owen, who shared the 18-hole lead with Koepka and RyanPalmer, moved atop the leader-board with Gomez when hebirdied the par-3 No. 14 from 11feet. He also finished with abirdie on No. 18 after hitting hisapproach to 5 feet.

Gomez, 36, is from the sametown in Argentina as JoseCoceres, whom he counts as amentor. He also has playedmany rounds with AngelCabrera the past few years.Gomez tied Jordan Spieth forsecond at the 2013 Puerto RicoOpen, where he had a piece ofthe 54-hole lead.

“Obviously for me to win onthe PGA Tour is like a dreamcome true, and tomorrow isgoing to be a really exciting day,”Gomez said. “And you know it’sa day that you don’t have tothink too much about the situa-tion and try to play the sameway that you played the last fewdays.”

Gomez birdied four of fiveholes through No. 6 to grab apiece of the lead at 9 under, andhe stayed atop the leaderboardfor seven holes. He bogeyed No.11 after hitting into a backbunker on the par-3 islandgreen, and bogeyed No. 13. Hebirdied Nos. 15 and 16, gettingback to 9 under.

DIVOTS: Seven of the last ninechampions at this event, spon-sored by FedEx, have come frombehind to win. ... Cook, a 24-year-old Arkansas native playingjust his fourth PGA event, had ashare of the lead at 8 underthrough 13 holes. But he hit histee shot into the water on thepar-3 14th. ... Steven Alker ofNew Zealand also had the lead at9 under when he eagled the par-5 No. 3, holing out from 17 yardsfrom the rough just off the frontof the green. But he shot a 74and was at 207.

Friends and acquaintances know I spendconsiderable time going to yard sales, fleamarkets, estate sales, auctions, discountstores and liquidators. Many have askedabout interesting things I have purchased.

Giving it some thought, I decided this is acolumn idea for the uninformed, and maybethe misinformed.

My yard sale experiences go back decades.Some of the things I have purchased might berelatively unknown today.

I’ve also wondered about the history of yardsales, and how far back they go. You’d besurprised to find they date to the 18th centu-ry.

Americans are particularly fond of thesesales, making them a regular occurrence.They are also popular in Australia, and areoccasionally spotted around the globe.

History says the origin of the garage salesis a bit murky in a figurative and literalsense. According to the website garagesale-cow.com, “the roots of the modern garage salecan be found in the word rummage. ‘Romage’entered the English language as early as the16th century. It was a nautical term originallyrelating to how cargo was packed in the holdof a ship.”

Later, in the 18th century, the term wouldalso refer to an exhaustive search. As theword continued to evolve, it came to refer tothe great amount of miscellaneous cargostashed away in the hold of the ship.

See how we’re progressing to the future?The first actual rummage sales were proba-

bly at the docks. Cargo unclaimed or dam-aged would be hauled out of the hold and putup for sale. By the 19th century, this practicewas called a rummage sale, and would alsorefer to the sale of damaged or unwantedgoods from warehouses or storehouses aswell.

By the 1890s, the rummage sale was some-thing that would be held at a communal loca-tion such as a park or a church, often for acharitable cause or to raise money for thechurch. Many people would donate theirunused items to be sold off, something that isstill common today.

Rummage or garage sales at the home

evolved from a tradition that has spannedback centuries. In almost every corner of theglobe, it has been common practice for peo-ple to set out a few items on a table or blan-ket in front of their homes to be sold or trad-ed.

As the number of homes, and our amountof (often unnecessary) possessions increased,the need for modern garage sales was born.

As I tell everyone, I hate to buy items at agarage sale. I then have to have a garage saleto get rid of my garage sale items.

After World War II, people across NorthAmerica found themselves with a greateramount of money to buy more and more ofthe new consumer goods and gadgets thatwere flooding the market throughout the1950s and into the 1960s.

They were also buying homes completewith easy to access driveways and garages. Inthe 1970s the garage sale became very popu-lar, as these homes became the perfect stag-ing ground for people to sell their unwantedgoods and generate some extra money.

Today garage sales are still a great way tomake extra money, to prepare for a move, orto cut down clutter.

These sales are generally unregulated, withonly select municipalities requiring those whowish to hold a sale to obtain a permit. It isestimated that garage sale sales couldaccount for $2 billion annually!

Don’t let the authorities know!Back to my interesting purchases. One

came just a couple weeks ago when I paid outgood money to buy a didgeridoo. The onlyreason I purchased it was so I could say Ihave one.

You may ask what I have. A didgeridoo is awind instrument played by the Aboriginals ofAustralia. See there, I knew you would want

one.The didgeridoo was developed by

Indigenous Australians of northern Australiawithin the last 1,500 years and is still inwidespread use today, both in Australia andaround the world. It is sometimes describedas a natural wooden trumpet or "drone pipe."Musicologists classify it as a brass aero-phone.

Now, I have one right here in Cleveland,thanks to a yard sale.

There are no reliable sources stating thedidgeridoo's exact age. Archaeological studiesof rock art in Northern Australia suggest thatthe people of the Kakadu region of theNorthern Territory have been using thedidgeridoo for less than 1,000 years, basedon the dating of paintings on cave walls andshelters from this period.

A clear rock painting in GingaWardelirrhmeng, on the northern edge of theArnhem Land plateau, from the freshwaterperiod (that was begun 1,500 years ago)shows a didgeridoo player and two songmenparticipating in a ceremony.

A modern didgeridoo is usually cylindricalor conical, and can measure anywhere from 3to 4 feet long. Most are around 4 feet long, asis mind. My didgeridoo came with a wrap, butI have no idea why.

Wikipedia states that “generally, the longerthe instrument, the lower its pitch or key.However, flared instruments play a higherpitch than unflared instruments of the samelength.”

"Didgeridoo" is considered to be an ono-matopoetic word of Western invention. Theearliest occurrence of the word in print is a1919 issue of Smith's Weekly, where it wasreferred to as an "infernal didjerry."

Now, I have one of the “infernal didjerry.”Another unusual item I purchased was a

classic mahogany box I bought at the home ofan early 20th-century physician inGatlinburg. There was a neat little instrumentencased in the box. I didn’t know what it was,but I really liked the case.

I later found out the instrument was a rec-tal thermometer, taking most of the glamourfrom the box.

TODAY IN HISTORY

As patriots from corner tocorner of this proudlydiverse land called

America pause today in obser-vance of Flag Day, we thought itappropriate to share some infor-mation that might be onlyvaguely familiar to many menand women of our nation.

Its message is no secret.Access to it is as simple as log-ging on to the Internet.

Many veterans, and the wid-ows and widowers of America’sveterans, probably keep itframed in prominent locationson a living room wall.

Truth is, the last time we pub-lished this information as an edi-torial — back on June 14, 2013— we were surprised at thenumber of phone calls andemails, and comments made inperson, we received afterwardfrom Cleveland and BradleyCounty residents, many ofwhom are our newspaper’sreaders and did not know thisstory.

For this reason, we will revisitthe story’s telling. We trust it willbe just as beneficial to a newaudience two years later.

We refer to the symbolismbehind the 13 folds of theAmerican flag. Explanations wecame upon — in the editorial’sfirst printing — on an array ofwebsites commonly preface theinformation by posing this ques-tion, “Have you ever noticedhow the Honor Guard paysmeticulous attention to correctlyfolding the American flag 13times?

Truly, it comes with purpose.From this point on, we will quotefrom already established narra-tive, which based on our onlineresearch, is titled, “The Meaningto the 13 Folds of the AmericanFlag.”

It reads:“The 1st fold of our flag is a

symbol of life.“The 2nd fold is a symbol of

our belief in eternal life.“The 3rd fold is made in honor

and remembrance of the veter-ans departing our ranks whogave a portion of their lives forthe defense of our country toattain peace throughout theworld.

“The 4th fold represents ourweaker nature, for as Americancitizens trusting in God, it is toHim we turn in times of peaceas well as in times of war for Hisdivine guidance.

“The 5th fold is a tribute to ourcountry, for in the words ofStephen Decatur, ‘Our Country,in dealing with other countries,may she always be right; but it isstill our country, right or wrong.’

“The 6th fold is for where ourhearts lie. It is with our heart thatwe ‘... pledge allegiance to theflag of the United States ofAmerica, and to the republic forwhich it stands, one Nationunder God, Indivisible, withLiberty and Justice for all.’

“The 7th fold is a tribute to ourArmed Forces, for it is throughthe Armed Forces that we pro-tect our country and our flagagainst all her enemies,whether they be found within orwithout the boundaries of ourrepublic.

“The 8th fold is a tribute to theone who entered into the valleyof the shadow of death, that wemight see the light of day.

“The 9th fold is a tribute towomanhood, and Mothers. Forit has been through their faith,their love, loyalty and devotionthat the character of the men

and women who have madethis country great has beenmolded.

“The 10th fold is a tribute tothe Father, for he too, has givenhis sons and daughters fordefense of our country sincethey were first born.

“The 11th fold represents thelower portion of the seal of KingDavid and King Solomon andglorifies in the Hebrews’ eyes,the God of Abraham, Isaac andJacob.

“The 12th fold represents anemblem of eternity and glorifies,in the Christians’ eyes, God theFather, the Son and Holy Spirit.

“The 13th fold, or when theflag is completely folded, thestars are uppermost remindingus of our nation’s motto, ‘In GodWe Trust.’

“After the flag is completelyfolded and tucked in, it takes onthe appearance of a cocked hat,ever reminding us of the sol-diers who served under Gen.George Washington, and thesailors and marines who servedunder Capt. John Paul Jones,who were followed by their com-rades and shipmates in theArmed Forces of the UnitedStates, preserving for us therights, privileges and freedomswe enjoy today.”

For those who still ferventlycling to the uncompromisedideals, and to the original valuesof our America — whether theyare written or merely under-stood — the above passagescarry great meaning and incred-ible weight in determining ourbalance in life.

We agree, without condition,with this narrative’s finalreminder, “In the future, you’llsee flags folded and now youwill know why. Share this withthe children you love and all oth-ers who love the symbol of‘Liberty and Freedom.’”

God Bless America.She is not a perfect country.

But she is our country.She has stood tall when oth-

ers have fallen.She has fought for what is

right when others have cow-ered.

She has defended thedefenseless when others haveturned away.

She has spoken for thosewithout a voice when othershave kept their silence.

She has shown without condi-tion why she is the land of thefree and the home of the brave.

She has pursued the cause ofAmerica even as some mightbelieve America has lost hercause.

In today’s eyes of some, theAmerican flag is just a fabricand her colors denote what isnow a time of the past and apast long forgotten.

To these naysayers and otherproponents of such belief, wesay this. America is stillAmerica. Yes, sometimes weare bruised. Yes, sometimes webend. Yes, other times we mightstagger. But we never break.

And the colors of ourAmerica, and of our Americanpeople ... remain the icon offreedom and the symbol ofunending hope.

May the red, white and blue ofAmerica’s rippling flag foreverfly in the face of any who wouldoppress and all who would turna deaf ear to the precious doc-trine of human rights.

We are America. Our flagdefines our people. Our peopledefend our flag.

Dear Annie: When my brother“Steve” comes home from college,he stays up until 3 a.m., sleepsuntil 2 in the afternoon, and leaveshis chores and homework until thevery last minute.

I don’t understand why he does-n’t keep a regular sleep schedule ortake care of his homework andother chores early in the week.Instead, he dumps his laundry onthe floor and “forgets” about it untilhe has no clothes left, somethingthat stresses him out and makeshim lash out at me. He also com-plains to me about incidents thatoccurred years ago and still makehim angry now.

I’ve tried to talk to my motherabout it, but I end up sounding likea broken record. Steve manages tobe responsible for himself at hisschool, so why doesn’t that respon-sibility follow him home? — PullingMy Hair Out

Dear Pulling: Because hereverts to his less-responsiblechildhood when he is home. Part ofmoving out of your parents’ house,whether for college or work, is todevelop the skills necessary to beindependent. This doesn’t happenovernight. Steve is trying to growup, albeit slowly and in spurts, andneeds to do it on his own.

So here’s a life lesson for you:You are not responsible for Steve’sbad habits, whether or not he suc-ceeds, or how stressed he becomes.Do your best to ignore thosethings, absent yourself or expresssympathy (nod knowingly and say,“That’s rough”) while remainingneutral. If he brings up things fromthe past, respond the same way. If

A lady named Miss Jery, a people called Gullah“I'm grateful to intelligent people. That

doesn't mean educated. That doesn't meanintellectual. I mean really intelligent. Whatblack old people used to call 'mother wit'means intelligence that you had in yourmother's womb. That's what you rely on.You know what's right to do.”

— Maya Angelou(b. Marguerite Annie Johnson)

American author and poet(1928-2014)

———Sometimes in life you run into some-

body you just know you like ... evenwhen it’s your first meeting and you’vebarely made it beyond, “Hi, how areyou?”

It happened to me recently while vaca-tioning with my wife in Beaufort, S.C.

The lady’s name is Mrs. Jery BennettTaylor. And what a lady she is.

A direct descendant of the WestAfricans of Sierra Leone whose peoplewere kidnapped and brought to Americacenturies ago on slave ships — mostly tothe South Carolina and Georgia coasts —Miss Jery redefines the word remarkable.

I call her “Miss Jery” as a term of affec-tion as borrowed from a Beaufort tourguide. I also call her that as an ultimateform of respect.

This beautiful lady is an encyclopediaof common sense and a wealth of culturalknowledge. She’s also one of this nation’sfinest basket weavers, a trade she learnedfrom her grandmother which was handeddown from earlier generations within theGullah community.

You can even find her work in theSmithsonian.

They’re called sweetgrass baskets and Inow have a small one on the coffee tablein my office. To say these unique coilbaskets are a conversation piece is anunderstatement. To say they’re a “state-ment” that I’ll use on young visitors —especially some of our youthful reporters— is more to the truth.

That’s because these baskets are morethan just a wise old woman’s craft. Thesebaskets are a people, a heritage, a way oflife and an identity. For Gullah descen-dants, these baskets are reminders ofwhere they came from, how they got hereand what it has taken to survive in a newworld — one whose wealthy plantationowners of long ago wanted them for theirbacks, their brawn and their knowledgeof the fields.

I don’t know Miss Jery’s age. I didn’task. Although, had I asked I believe shewould have told me. She’s that kind oflady — open, spirited, proud, opinionat-ed, talented ... and a visionary. She seesthe end of her way of life coming unlessthe younger generations stand up to stopits slide.

I’m not just talking about the art ofbasket weaving. I’m talking about theGullah culture. Of course, they’re one inthe same. As West Africans, they broughttheir knowledge of this fine art with themacross the Atlantic.

Old folks taught the younger folks.Younger folks got old and they becamethe teachers. And the cycle continued.Until now. And that’s what breaks theheart of Gullah elders like Miss Jery.

“The young people ... they’re just notinterested in it,” she said of the basket-weaving craft on a muggy Wednesdayafternoon on the porch of the GullahGrub restaurant. “It’s hard work. It’s notinstant gratification.”

Though not affiliated with the GullahGrub as a businesswoman, the eatery’sporch serves as her shop. On one endshe covers a tabletop with her diverse col-

lection of gorgeous handiwork, all ofwhich is for sale. On the other end shesits in an old wooden rocking chair,flanked by small tables that hold the rawproducts of her trade — sweetgrass,binding materials, Chamber of Commerceliterature that tells the story of Gullahand basket weaving, and a bag stuffedwith who knows what all.

And there she sits, day after day ... heraged hands yet nimble fingers navigatingthe sweetgrass into some of this planet’smost artistic, durable and ingenious bas-kets.

Most of the day she sits alone, mindingher business and tending to the work ofthe day. But, like any tourist attraction,she gets her share of visitors — from theNorth, from the West Coast, from theupper Eastern Seaboard, from Florida ...even from Southeast Tennessee which isabout a seven-hour drive, give or take anextra 30 minutes of motoring frustrationthrough Atlanta.

She’s always willing to talk. She’salways got a story. She’s always sharingthe past with those from the present whomay never have heard of Gullah norunderstood that it’s not just a word ... it’sa people, a way of life and in some ways atragedy turned miracle.

I wish I knew more about the Gullahcommunity. If so, I could share it moreaccurately. I know only what I learnedduring a week’s visit to the SouthCarolina Low Country, what a three-hourtour guide told our small group from herair-conditioned van, what I’ve read in afew books purchased in Beaufort as wellas from the Penn Center Welcome Center,and from what Miss Jery shared thatbrief afternoon on her old country porch.

Here’s my take on the Gullah commu-nity, an endearing lifestyle I knew nothingabout until our recent stay in Beaufort.Of course, you can learn much more justby Googling. There’s plenty of materialout there.

During America’s tragic era of slavery,West Africans from predominately SierraLeone, Ivory Coast and Angola wereforcibly taken from their villages inchains and swept across the ocean to theCarolina and Georgia coasts. Manybecame the property of wealthy planta-tion owners along the barrier islands ofSouth Carolina, one of which is St.Helena Island and the surrounding SeaIslands.

Wealthy property owners often fled theislands by boat in the heat and disease ofsummer, and spent the hot season inmore comfortable townhomes inBeaufort. Several thousand slaves wereleft on the islands to work the fields andrice paddies under thesupervision of only asmall number of mas-ters and propertymanagers.

Isolated from themainland and therebyexposed to very littleassimilation toAmerican way of life,the West Africans con-tinued to embracetheir own customs,beliefs, cooking styles and language thatthey brought with them on the slaveships. And thus was born to America theGullah community.

Most believe the term “Gullah” comesfrom the word “Angola,” the native homefor many of the people.

A deeply spiritual folk, the Gullahprayed to the same God and sang hymnsto the same Jesus who guides Americanhearts. They did so in small “PraiseHouses,” as allowed by the wealthy slaveowners. One of these tiny structures ofworship can still be viewed on St. Helena.

The Gullah are a superstitious, family-oriented and likable people. They speakwith a distinct dialect, one that — to me,anyway — sounds like a cross between

broken English and some foreign lan-guage spoken in their native Africanhomeland. By definition, it’s described inbooks as “... a creole language similar toSierra Leone Krio.”

In some ways, they are a forgotten peo-ple; yet, their heritage lives on thanks tothe good work of the Penn Center (a for-mer school for freed slaves who werebeing prepared for an American way oflife) on St. Helena Island which now pro-motes the Gullah heritage; an annual fes-tival that pays tribute to their culture; aproactive marketing campaign in theregion to preserve these genuine tradi-tions; and, of course, the insight of elderslike Miss Jery.

This wonderful woman sees hope forthe Gullah way of life, but she knowsyoung people are the key. Their level ofinterest in sustaining Gullah tradition iswhat will save, or doom, the culture itself.

Of basket weaving, Miss Jery prayssomeone in her family will one day takeup the trade because she won’t be aroundforever. But she recognizes this reality: Itis 2015. Young people have new interests,they move away and they forget.

Basket weaving is just one part of theGullah way of life. There is much, muchmore. But each time a young personmoves away and abandons these rich tra-ditions, the glow in the heart of a peopledims just a little more.

I’ll have more to say about Gullah, andespecially about Miss Jery, in weeks tocome. But before then, and in the nextcouple of days, I’ll be calling her to reviewa basket-weaving DVD she gave me as agift.

I’ll thank her for the video and theafternoon of good conversation on thatold restaurant porch.

But most of all, I’ll thank her for thehug that ended our day, and for theGullah smile that welcomes the sunriseevery slow muggy morning in the SouthCarolina Low Country.

Touring Red Clay is a respectful journey through timeA Blue Hole, an eternal flame and a

Cherokee homestead in Red Clay,Tennessee, are central to one of the mostdistressing stories in U.S. history.

They tell the tale of a people whofought for justice and were beaten at thelast Councils of the Cherokee, on groundnow known as Red Clay State HistoricPark.

That ground is deeply saturated withthe rich history of the Cherokee and thetears and heartache associated with theLast Councils of the Cherokee on theirnative land near the foothills of the GreatSmoky Mountains.

For a newcomer such as myself, it isnot hard to picture the people of long agowho walked the Council grounds insearch of a solution to the feud betweenthe U.S. government and the CherokeeNation.

Feeling the emotion of the site is easy.What is not easy is realizing that theAmerican government played a centralrole in the misery of an entire tribe whohad become the most “civilized” NativeAmericans at the time. The tribe ofSequoyah, Nancy Ward, Stand Watie andElias Boudinot, heroes of resourcefulnessand tenacity, were forced to leave theirhomeland on the Eastern side of theMississippi, and travel to an unknownland out West.

Red Clay State Historic Park is thebeginning of the story and stands as areminder of what happened in 1838 andbefore at the last Councils of Red Clay.

When one pictures natives, most willenvision the Cherokees riding on the warpath, with ceremonial painted faces, wav-ing bows in the air as they travel towardthe sunset. However, even though thatpicture of Native American life might havebeen true at one point in Cherokee histo-ry, by the 19th century the Cherokeelived a life very similar to their Americanneighbors.

In fact, in Echota, Georgia, the nationalcapital of the Cherokee, the Cherokeehad progressed to the point of having aconstitution and elections which wereopen to any Cherokee male over 18.

The Cherokee Phoenix, a national bilin-

gual newspaper, was also in circulationthroughout the Cherokee Nation.Evolving from a wander-gatherer lifestyle,the people had become proficient farm-ers, as evidenced by the Cherokee Nationcensus, taken in 1824 and published inthe Cherokee Phoenix, that reported a“population of 15,000 Indians, owning1,000 negro slaves, 22,400 cattle, 7,600horses, 40,000 hogs, 3,000 sheep, 1,850spinning wheels, 2,450 plows, 475 goats,700 looms, 120 wagons, 12 sawmills, 20gristmills, 55 blacksmith shops, 6 cottongins, 10 ferries, 9 stores, a turnpike, 6public roads and [even] a threshingmachine.”

The Phoenix editor, Elias Boudinot,estimated the total value of the Cherokeeproperty (not including land holdings) atabout $2.2 million. Not only did theCherokee assimilate the agriculturistideal of the pioneer Americans, they alsoembraced other facets of the colonials.

They switched from traditional man-made clothes and tools to items profferedby traders, such as firearms, metal work,saddles and cloth. The Cherokee hadadapted a modern way of life and possi-bly surpassed their white counterparts inmost areas. But, the new lifestyle was notenough to pacify the white man.

In fact, the citizens of Georgia wereincensed by the Cherokee progress. Atthat time, it became illegal for theCherokee to hold meetings and the stategovernment also divided the Indian landby lottery. As a result of those decisions,the Cherokee Nation moved its capital toRed Clay in Tennessee.

As I began my first tour at Red Clay, Ilooked up when I heard the song of theflags flipping merrily in the breeze. For amoment, I was mesmerized by the sightof the flags flying together. The Cherokee,

the U.S. and the state flag were finally fly-ing in the same direction and I wasreminded of the unity between the peoplethat exists now as compared to the timesof the last Councils, when confrontationbetween the governments was the onlycertainty of the land. However, the flagsnow fly together and show the visitor thatthe emotion of the spot is not lost on theCherokee peoples.

Starting at the Red Clay Visitor Centerafter viewing a documentary of the strug-gle of long ago, I begin my journey on theinterpretive trail that winds through thehistoric structures on the park. Climbingthe hill to my right, I spy an odd sight.Intrigued, I walk over to see what it couldbe.

A stately, stone structure lies nestledin the woods, covered by a massive pinoak. This is the Eternal Flame of theCherokee Nation and it has a history thatbegan long ago. This 6-foot outdoor fire-place which houses the flame is admit-tedly an unexpected sight. It was placedat the park in 1984 by the Eastern andWestern Band of Cherokee to commemo-rate the infamous beginning of the “Trailof Tears” and the estimated 4,000Cherokee who perished on the notoriousjourney.

However, the most impressive part ofthis slice of history is that this is thesame flame that was carried during theforced removal to Oklahoma in 1838.This “sacred fire” was carried by a Nativealong the trail, tended each day, andwould eventually be brought back to theholy ground at Red Clay for the first jointsession of the Eastern and WesternBands in almost 150 years.

The next stop on my journey is theSacred Spring, so I walk down to meetthe trail and follow it until I arrive at thefence that surrounds the epicenter of thepark known as the Blue Hole. This hal-lowed spring, deemed to be a gateway tothe underworld by the Natives, was thefocal point during the councils as it pro-vided water for an estimated 4,000Council attendees.

The underground spring produces anestimated 400,000 gallons of pure, 52-

degree water per day, and was more thanan adequate source of water during thecouncils in August 1836. Even now, thewater appears clean and cool with a layerof slate rock that conceals the base of thespring.

With a large tulip poplar standingguard, the deep blue in the center of thespring and the sounds of the water trick-ling under the bridge, this spot is themost peaceful in the park and a goodplace to remember the plight of the nativepeople.

Moving on after my thoughtful inter-lude, I walk toward the largest dwelling inthe park. In the distance, the open airCouncil House stands in the middle ofthe park. Although this replica is a frac-tion of the size of the original, it is nothard to imagine the murmurings of theCherokees’ last meetings echoingthroughout the hewn log building as theydebated their future.

Unanimous agreements are hard toimagine in this day in America, but it wasa way of life for the Cherokee. During thedebate over the New Echota Treaty of1832, over 16,000 Natives, nearly theentire Nation, would sign a petition stat-ing their refusal to accept the terms ofthe treaty and their desire to remain ontheir lands. The petition was in vain andwith one vote in 1836, the U.S. Senatevoted to ratify the treaty and begin theremoval of the people to the West.

Finally, I walk toward the sleepinghuts. Since the Cherokee camped allaround the Council Grounds, this areawas set aside for visitors and officialambassadors of the federal government.These huts, made purposely without win-dows, doors or chinking, were construct-ed so as to give the Indians an opportuni-ty to see what the officials did inside theirsleeping quarters and it was reportedthat the Natives were “extremely curious.”

One observer who slept in the huts,George Featherstonhaugh, an Englishbotanist sent to survey the area for thefederal government, reported that theIndians at the meeting, “moved aboutgracefully ... preserving grave andthoughtful demeanor imposed upon them

by the singular position in which theywere placed.”

To complete my tour, I walk toward theFarm Homestead. A symbol of a changingsociety for the Cherokee people, thefarms of the Cherokee would usuallyinclude a living area, space for cultivatedfields and access to the woodlands.

During the time of the last Councilmeetings, the way of life had changed forthe Cherokee. No longer concerned withthe good of the tribe as a whole, theCherokee of the 19th century grew cornfor family needs and to fatten cattle forresale. The Cherokee had transformedinto a people who largely resembled thepioneers, but that conversion would notbe enough to keep their homeland.

Red Clay State Historic Park is not justanother spot on the map. It is a chronicleof a suffering Nation that was abused bythose who should have protected it. Also,it is a reminder today of a noble peoplewho began a journey West so terrible thatit was aptly named the “Trail of Tears” inhonor of the 4,000 men, women and chil-dren who perished.

All are invited to visit the park and seethe spot where so much history andheartbreak occurred.

Dear Annie: My wife recentlypassed away after nearly 60 yearstogether. I miss her more thanwords can say.

While selecting a vase at thefuneral parlor to hold my wife’sashes, I noticed matching minia-ture vases. I ordered six, three forour grown children and three formy wife’s sisters. My children weredelighted to receive them.

The problem is, my wife’s sistersconsider my gift to be in extremelypoor taste and I fear it may havecaused irreparable damage to ourrelationship. What I thoughtwould be a visible and lastingremembrance of their loving sisterhas turned ugly.

Did my grief affect my judg-ment? Was I out of line? —Heartbroken Brother-in-Law

Dear Heartbroken: We thinkyour wife’s sisters are the oneswhose grief has affected their judg-ment. Your gift was thoughtful andkind, but perhaps too difficult forthem to process right now. Pleaseapologize to them for not consult-ing them first to see whether theywanted these gifts. Let them knowyou value the relationship, andask how to make things better.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Havingan 80-pound Labradoodle as atravel buddy means B.L. Ochmancan quickly separate the hotelsthat love dogs from those that justput up with them.

A bed-and-breakfast she visitednorth of New York City wouldn’tlet her pooch Benny trot aroundin the main house, among othertroubles. Ochman, a ManhattanInternet strategist, has since dis-covered Audrey’s Farmhouse, aB&B in Wallkill, New York, thatcaters to dogs and doesn’t chargepet fees that can top hundreds ofdollars.

“Dog-friendly means your dogis welcome,” she said. “If the dogis welcome, he shouldn’t costextra money. Of course, I am adog owner, not an innkeeper.”

Hotels ranging from majorchains to small outposts are cap-italizing on the wave of travelerswho bring along their dogs, someby charging for perks that pamperpets and others by expandingfees. What started as a basic, one-time pet fee has blossomed into aper-night charge at many placesand costs that can total hun-dreds.

Some properties offer amenitiesfrom patches of grass to chewtoys, designer bowls and in-roommassages — usually for an addi-tional price — while others simplylevy cleaning fees, whether yourdog makes a mess or not. Thosehotels often don’t offer extras orpermission for pooches over acertain weight, locking out largerpets like Ochman’s.

“There is a huge differencebetween pet-tolerant and pet-wel-coming,” said Carol Bryant, a petindustry public relations strate-gist from Forty Fort,Pennsylvania.

She’s been traveling with dogsfor decades and says hotels thatsimply tolerate animals don’t offerservices such as bowls and beds,so dogs might be sleeping on thincarpeting.

Perks such as organic treatsusually cost more, but “I neverforget when businesses extendthemselves to my dog,” Bryantsaid. “Does my dog know?Probably not, but I do. And I do

the spending.”Hotels charge a range of prices

for pets. More than 120DoubleTree by Hilton hotels inthe U.S. charge a maximum $75nonrefundable fee used for clean-ing, said Maggie Giddens, directorof public relations for the hotels.

Many chains charge differentlyby city. In San Francisco, flat feesare common, with the Radissoncharging $75; the Marriott, $50 to$100; Holiday Inn, $75; and theHyatt, $100, according topetswelcome.com, a pet travelservices website. But theInterContinental requires $50 anight there.

Many properties have no fees,including Motel 6, Studio 6, RedRoof Inn, La Quinta and Kimpton,which has 67 hotels nationwide,said Cindy Dahlen, marketingdirector for New York-basedpetswelcome.com.

Others charge per night,including Rodeway Inn andWestin hotels at $10-$15; BestWestern and Travelodge at $20;and Extended Stay America at$25.

Bryant said the highest feeshe’s faced was a one-time $250cleaning charge at the TrumpSoHo New York. Dogs staying atthe luxury hotel also have to beunder 25 pounds.

Other pet policies, whichexclude service dogs, vary byhotel and can include:

— Rooms on designated floors,allowing other customers to avoidpet dander.

— Restricting dogs from gettingon furniture in rooms and lob-bies.

— When dogs must be leashed.— Where they can go on the

property.— Bans on certain breeds,

which generally match the city’slaws.

For Ochman, bed-and-break-fasts beat out hotels, becausethey’re more distinctive and usu-ally have fewer restrictions onpets.

“People approach travel in dif-ferent ways,” she said. “We arejust looking for a pretty placewhere we can relax and take thedogs.”


aBBy, a 6-month-old golden-Lab puppy, wassurrendered to the SPCA Shelter by her ownersafter they decided Abby needed a home with moreroom and a family with more time to devote to her.Less than an hour later, “Miss Abby” found her newforever home with Mishala Mundall and family, wholive on several acres with some farm animals.

JeSSa, a shepherd mix, is looking for her for-ever family. Officer Roy Womack gives her awell-deserved pet. Womack, above, holdsIzabelle, a 3- to 4- year-old Siamese mix. Shewill adopt you at Cleveland Animal Control, 360Hill St. The shelter is open weekdays, 11 a.m. to5 p.m. and Saturdays, 10 a.m. to noon.

Do you ever wonder what becomes of petsadopted from shelters? Nadia, a chocolate bullterrier puppy, was brought to the SPCA Shelterwhen she was just 6 weeks old. She was adoptedthe next day by Crystal Coppings. Nadia seemsto be quite content and well cared for in her newforever home.

potter, a 2-year-old bassett hound mix, wasbrought to the SPCA Shelter as a stray after tryingto take up residence on another dog’s porch. Hewas adopted seven days later by Roy Lee and fam-ily after they decided his short stature and gentlenature was perfect for their little girl.

Spirit, a 6-week-old calico kitten, was broughtto the SPCA Shelter by a Good Samaritan whosaw her by a dumpster at a gas station in need ofmedical attention. That Samaritan was FeliciaFloyd, who returned 21 days later to adopt her asher own.

BoB Caylor, left, has been with The Ark for 15 years. Heserves as president to the board of directors, shelter director, leadvolunteer and is a foster care provider. He provides shelter pet trans-port to and from the veterinarian. He has five dogs and five cats, allrescued pets from The Ark. He is holding his most recent fur babyYahzi, a Chihuahua. Caylor said, "When I joined The Ark, adoptionswere done every other Saturday, for four hours in front of Petco. Petswere all kept in foster homes, and not vetted prior to adoption, whichoften saw adopters return them pregnant or with litters of kittens andpuppies. This added to the pet over population crisis. ... Nine yearsago we opened an adoption center on Ocoee Street and five yearsago moved into our own shelter at 240 Oak St. N.W. With the excep-tion of puppies and kittens, too young to have received all vaccina-tions and spay/neuter, all pets are kept in this home-like central loca-tion, open for adoptions five days a week."

Study aims to uncover why cancer plagues golden retrieversLOS ANGELES (AP) — If a golden retriever gives

birth, gets stung by a bee or sprayed by a skunk, vet-erinarians want to know.

Scientists are studying the popular breed to findout why their lifespans have gotten shorter over theyears and why cancer is so prevalent.

The Colorado-based Morris Animal Foundationrecently got the first lifetime study of 3,000 purebredgolden retrievers up and running after signing up thefirst dogs in 2012. The nonprofit says the review ofhealth conditions and environmental factors facinggoldens across the U.S. can help other breeds andeven people, because humans carry 95 percent of thesame DNA.

“Canine cancer has become a dog owner’s greatestfear,” said Dr. David Haworth, president and CEO ofthe foundation, which invested $25 million in thestudy. “You don’t see dogs running loose that muchanymore, we don’t see a lot of infectious diseases, andthe vaccines we have today are very good, so our con-

cerns are warranted.”The vets haven’t learned enough yet to improve or

prolong the retrievers’ lives, but key factors could lieanywhere, said Dr. Michael Lappin, who has 19patients from Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts, in thestudy. When he graduated from veterinary school in1972, golden retrievers lived 16 or 17 years. Today, it’snine or 10 years.

Golden retrievers die of bone cancer, lymphomaand a cancer of the blood vessels more than any otherbreed in the country.

Lappin plans to get his families together in a fewmonths to see if they have found ways to make lifeeasier for their dogs, especially because the most help-ful data about cancer, obesity, diabetes and otherchronic conditions won’t emerge for six or seven years,researchers say.

Early exams showed 33 percent of the dogs, whichare 1 to 5 years old, had skin disease or ear infections;17 percent had gastrointestinal illnesses; and 11 per-

cent had urinary disease.The dogs get medication to treat the conditions, but

vets can’t treat them differently because it would skewthe results, Lappin said.

Marla Yetka of Denver says her nearly 2-year-oldgolden retriever, Snickers, joined the study and hasbeen suffering from skin problems. Yetka uses oat-meal shampoo on her pet, but she’s looking forward totalking with other participants about their remedies.

“I have too many friends who have lost goldens,”she said. “Is it what we are feeding them, their envi-ronments, their breeding?”

Pet owners keep tabs on everything, from a moveacross country or across town, a change in climate ortime zone, new children at home, different food orbehavioral changes. Most keep journals so they don’tconstantly call the vets when their dog gets a thorn inits foot, eats a spider or devours a bunch of bologna ifit tears into the groceries.

The vets collect blood, waste, and hair and nail

samples annually to test if the dogs get sick, hoping touncover a common thread or early warning signamong dogs that develop cancer or other diseases.Doctors also check for changes in temperature, bloodpressure, energy, diet, sleeping patterns or other fac-tors that could explain illnesses.

“Everyone involved will feel the burden it will take tobe able to say, ‘I am playing a role in stopping cancerin these animals I love,’” Haworth said.

So far, seven goldens have died of conditions suchas cancer and gastrointestinal problems, and one washit by a car, Haworth said. Another dropped out whenits owner died. The dogs come from every state; abouthalf are male and half are female; and half are fixedand half are not.

Those who brought dogs into the study, includingboth veterinarians, hope goldens get a shot at thelonger life they used to enjoy.

“I’m glad I found the study and feel in some smallway, I might make a difference,” Yetka said.

Americans spent $58 billionto pamper, protect pets in 2014

LOS ANGELES (AP) — We feedthem, groom them, clothe themand otherwise shell out the bigbucks to protect and pamper ourpets.

The American Pet ProductsAssociation’s annual report onpet industry spending saysAmericans spent $58 billion in2014 on their 397 million pets,which range from freshwaterfish and reptiles to cats anddogs.

The industry trade groupreleased the survey Thursday atthe Global Pet Expo, an annualtrade show in Orlando, Florida.The data came from a variety ofgroups, market research studiesand media reports.

Here’s a snapshot of how wespend money on pets:

—-

WHERE THE MONEY GOES

The association measures fiveareas of spending. Last year,people spent $22 billion on food;$15 billion on veterinary care;$14 billion on supplies such asbeds, bowls and collars andover-the-counter medicine tofight ailments such as fleas,ticks and colds; $4.8 billion onother services; and $2 billion onanimals themselves.

The “other services” categorygrew the fastest in 2014 andincludes payments on grooming,boarding, walking, training, daycare and even trips to the spa —where pets can get facials andmassages, said Bob Vetere, pres-ident and CEO of the pet prod-

ucts association, based inGreenwich, Connecticut.

—-

VET VISITS FLAT

The report says trips to theveterinarian were unchanged orslightly down last year, althoughexpenditures per visit haveincreased as owners green-lightmore expensive procedures,Vetere said. Those treatmentsranged from the lifesaving to theexotic, like plastic surgery.

A robust human-animal bondstill exists, especially with dogsand cats, and people are doingmore to prolong their pets’ lives,from surgery to food, Veteresaid.

—-

WHAT’S FOR DINNER

If food for pets sometimessounds good enough to eat, it’sbecause it is. San Diego-basedHonest Kitchen and Vero Beach,Florida-based Caru Natural DogStews are two pet food brandsconsidered human-grade by theU.S. Food and DrugAdministration because theirgrub is made with ingredientspalatable by people and pro-duced in facilities meeting high-er safety requirements.

Americans spent the most onfood for their pets last year, andmuch of it mirrored humantrends, such as gluten-free,wheat-free, little sugar orreduced-calorie. The feast mightcome dry, wet, raw, baked,flaked, shredded, diced, sliced,frozen or freeze-dried.

—-

PET SALES DOWN

Sales of the animals them-selves dropped from $2.23 bil-lion in 2013 to $2.15 billion in2014, which was expectedbecause spending in the catego-ry has fallen slightly each of thepast several years, Vetere said.There is likely no one reason, hesaid. But adoptions at sheltersand rescues are strong, manycities banned the sale of dogsfrom puppy mills and the lifes-pans of dogs and cats havelengthened.

—-

INDUSTRY GROWTH

As pets have become moreimportant parts of U.S. families,spending on them has exploded.There has been more than athreefold increase since thegroup’s first survey was releasedin 1994, when people paid out$17 billion. Spending grew 4.2percent, from $55.72 billion in2013 to $58.04 billion last year,Vetere said.

—-

COMPARING SPENDING

People spent about five timesmore on their pets than they didon movies last year. The box officefirm Rentrak estimated that ticketsales from 2014 totaled $10.4 bil-lion, a 5.2 percent drop from2013. But people spent far moreon their homes than they did theirpets, with expenditures fromhome improvements and repairsreaching $298 billion in 2013, themost recent data available.

Traveling with your dog will cost you — sometimes hundreds

An early signing period for col-lege football is close to becoming areality after years of debate and dis-cussion about giving prospects theopportunity to end their recruit-ment before February.

The Collegiate CommissionersAssociation, which administers thenational letter of intent recruitssign to make their verbal commit-ments to a school binding, willmeet next week in Asheville, NorthCarolina, and are expected to voteTuesday or Wednesday on a pro-posal to create a new three-daysigning period in December.

The dates would match-up withthe signing period for midyearenrollees, who are usually trans-ferring in from junior college.

The early signing period wouldstart this year on Dec. 16 and bereviewed after two years.

“Seeing the rule approved is adistinct possibility,” said Mid-American ConferenceCommissioner Jon Steinbrecher,who has led the committeeassigned with coming up with aproposal.

Steinbrecher said the other pos-sible outcome would be tabling theissue to first allow the NCAA’s newfootball oversight committee toweigh-in on other aspects ofrecruiting.

That’s not an outcomeSteinbrecher would prefer.

“Quite frankly, given the two-year look-in that’s part of the pro-posal, I would just as soon say,‘Let’s either move forward or notmove forward,’” he said. “Let’s getoff of being in limbo, which iswhere we have been for a long

time.”The Southeastern Conference is

the only FBS league that has pub-licly stated opposition to the pro-posal.

SEC Commissioner GregSankey has said the conferencehas a range of concerns — enoughto fill a three-page memo — withthe proposal, including the impactit would have on in-season recruit-ing for college coaches and highschool teams.

“What happens in earlyDecember when conferences areplaying championship games?When the next week, people are infinal exams and you’re askingsome prospects to sign nationalletters of intent midweek duringtheir own state high school play-offs?” Sankey said at the SECspring meetings in Destin lastmonth.

“You don’t have access to anoth-er semester’s academic informationwhere you’re making decisions andprobably don’t have test scores atany point during the senior year? Icould go on and on with the incre-mental three pages of concerns.”

Sankey said the SEC fears anearly signing period will eventuallyreplace the current signing day,which is the Wednesday of the firstfull week of February.

SEC coaches are not necessarilyagainst the idea of an early signingday for recruits who have notwavered from nonbinding verbalcommitments, but most of themprefer it to be the Monday afterThanksgiving. But SEC adminis-trators would rather just stick withthe status quo than switch to whathas been proposed.

ACC coaches voted in favor ofthe proposed early signing periodduring their spring meetings andPac-12 coaches also support it.

The Big 12 and Big Ten have notput forth official conference posi-tions on early signing, but OhioState Athletic Director Gene Smithtold reporters at Big Ten springmeetings a “super majority” ofschools in his conference was infavor.

Big 12 schools are divided,Commissioner Bob Bowlsby said.

“I want to listen to the debate atthe CCA meetings,” Bowlsby said.

The Group of Five FBS confer-ences — the Mountain West,American Athletic, Sun Belt,Conference USA andSteinbrecher’s MAC — all supportan early signing period.

Coaches tend to be all over theplace when it comes to early sign-ing. Aside from the December pro-posal and the SEC’s preferred post-Thanksgiving plan, some have sug-gested a period during the summerso prospects could sign before theirsenior seasons.

And a few such as Arizona’s RichRodriguez and Youngstown Statecoach Bo Pelini, formerly ofNebraska, have suggested doingaway with signing periods alltogether. Prospects would signwhenever they are ready.

Almost every plan has benefitsand shortcomings.

“Administrators and coacheshave spent the past months talkingabout it. Really thinking it throughand that’s the main thing,”Steinbrecher said. “Let’s go up.Let’s go down. It’s time to move onone way or the other.”

coach David Blatt from gettingmuch sleep.

Iguodala, though, was GoldenState’s best player. He scored 22points, made James work forevery shot and while making hisfirst start of the season inGolden State’s 101st game, heset the early tempo by outrun-ning Cleveland’s defense for apair of dunks.

“He’s one of the X-factors, andhe came to play,” James said ofthe 31-year-old Iguodala, one ofhis Olympic teammates. “He wasin attack.”

Kerr went with a smaller line-up — he benched center AndrewBogut — and it’s likely he’ll stickwith a group that causesmatchup problems for theCavaliers. Because of injuries toKyrie Irving and Kevin Love,Cleveland has limited options.Kerr admitted afterward that hewasn’t truthful leading into thegame for fear of Cleveland mak-ing an adjustment.

Given the Cavs’ fragile state, itmay not have mattered.

The coast-to-coast travel, lackof depth and demanding sched-ule caught up to Cleveland.Although the decimated Cavsdownplayed the fatigue, it wasobvious they didn’t have theirlegs.

And the postgame scene intheir training room underscoredtheir brittle condition. Jamesneeded stitches for a head cutsustained when he banged intoa courtside camera; MatthewDellavedova took an ice bath tosoothe his cramping muscles;Iman Shumpert had his bruised

left shoulder encased in ice.All things considered, it’s

remarkable the Cavs are in theseries.

After carrying his teammatesin three games, James was duea sub-standard performance. Hestill managed 22 points, 12rebounds and eight assists, buthe was unable to dictate thetempo as the Warriors took con-trol.

Blatt may need to re-consider

his rotations. He’s only playingseven players, ignoring veteransMike Miller and Shawn Marion,former champions who might beable to provide vital minutesand ease James’ burden. Also,the Cavs need to get something,anything, from J.R. Smith, whomissed all eight 3-pointers inGame 4.

The only time Smith, whoarrived at Quicken Loans Arenariding an electric, hands-freevehicle called a PhunkeeDuck,was on the mark was when hemuttered an expletive describinghis performance.

James, in typical fashion,seemed unfazed by the loss —almost as if he expected it.

He understands his team’slimitations, but he also knowsthe Cavs still have a chance,and that’s all he can ask.

James has been in tougherjams than this. He dismissedthe notion that his next gamewill be his biggest challenge.

With Miami in 2012, Jameswent to Boston trailing 3-2 inthe conference finals and thefour-time MVP responded withan epic 45-point, 12-reboundeffort.

“That’s probably the biggestchallenge of my career,” he said.“Game 5 at Golden State is notthat big when it comes to goingto Boston, you lose multipletimes in that arena, and thefranchise I was with at the timehad never won a playoff game inBoston. Now that’s pretty chal-lenging, so I’ve been through alittle bit in my pretty coolcareer.”

LONDON (AP) — QueenElizabeth II marked her ceremo-nial birthday Saturday with thetraditional “Trooping the Color”parade in the heart of London —and 23-month-old Prince Georgemade his debut on theBuckingham Palace balcony.

The queen was joined by sen-ior royals including the Duchess

to help people, and that’s anoble cause. But being a moti-vational writer and speakercan be an addictive thing.

For some folks, signingbooks and being on stage arealmost a high; they can makeyou feel alive. But the wholeidea can draw you into theland of financial stupidity ifyou’re not careful.

My advice would be for himto keep his day job, and workhis tail off nights and week-ends to try and make thisdream a reality.

Let’s draw up an internet

strategy to get some exposurefor the books he has alreadywritten. He could contact localcivic groups, and offer hisservices as a speaker for theirmeetings, too.

In the process he might sella few books from a table in theback of the room, and I knowhe’d get lots of valuable expe-rience while building hisname.

It may take longer than he’dlike, but that’s a much betteridea than the one he has now.It allows him to work toward agoal and not put his family infinancial danger.

Then, once he’s making anice income on the side fromwriting and speaking engage-ments, you guys can look atthe numbers and see if it’s fea-sible for him to dive in on afull-time basis!

VW expansion to aid economySpecial to the Banner

A University of TennesseeCenter of Business and EconomicResearch (CBER) study indicatesthe expansion of Volkswagen’sChattanooga manufacturing facil-ity to produce a new midsize-SUVand the opening of a NorthAmerican Engineering andPlanning Center could createapproximately 9,800 jobs and add$370 million in additional annualincome, once the plant is fullyoperational.

“The findings in the CBERstudy demonstrate that the incen-tive package recently passed bythe Tennessee legislature willresult in an economic growth mul-tiplier of several times the state’sinvestment,” said DavidGeanacopoulos, Executive VicePresident for Public Affairs andGeneral Counsel, VolkswagenGroup of America.

“We would like to thank Gov.Bill Haslam and Economic andCommunity DevelopmentCommissioner Randy Boyd fortheir leadership in fostering abusiness environment withinTennessee that is mutually-bene-ficial for the state and local econo-my as well as for companies like

Volkswagen that have operationsin the state,” Geanacopoulosadded.

In addition to the 2,400Tennessee workers directlyemployed by Volkswagen, thestudy projects that Volkswagen’s$704 million investment in theChattanooga plant expansion,including the opening of a newNorth American Engineering andPlanning Center, has the potentialto:

— Generate $217 million of newincome and more than 5,300 indi-rect and direct jobs in Tennesseeduring the construction and tool-ing phase;

— Create roughly 9,800 jobs,once the plant is fully operational,including 1,800 potential jobs atthe production plant, 200 engi-neering jobs at the VW NorthAmerican Engineering andPlanning Center, as well as posi-tions at auto parts suppliers, andother jobs throughout Tennessee;and

— Be responsible for $370 mil-lion in additional annual income,once the plant is fully operational.

“Extensive supplier linkagesand good incomes earned byVolkswagen employees account

for the significant employmentgains and economic multipliereffects in Tennessee,” said WilliamFox, the study’s author andDirector of the Center forBusiness and Economic Researchat the University of Tennessee.

“This includes jobs in manyindustries across the state, suchas grocery stores, restaurants,shopping malls and construction,”he continued.

Construction for theVolkswagen Chattanooga expan-sion project is currently under-way, and is expected to be com-pleted during the summer of2016. Production of theVolkswagen midsize-SUV isscheduled to commence at theend of 2016, marking the secondVolkswagen model to be producedin Chattanooga, in addition to thePassat.

“The study underscoresVolkswagen’s commitment toTennessee, and we are excited togrow our team and theChattanooga plant as we gear upfor the production of our first-everseven-passenger SUV for the U.S.market,” said Christian Koch,President and CEO, VolkswagenChattanooga.

Stephen Jones’ voice resonates

for dad Jerry with CowboysIRVING, Texas (AP) — Stephen

Jones chuckles at the memory ofbeing mediator between his dad—yeah, Cowboys owner JerryJones — and headstrong formercoach Bill Parcells.

“It was tough, tough, tough,”the No. 2 man in Dallas’ frontoffice says. “But it was worth it.”

And it helped shape the chiefoperating officer/executive vicepresident/director of player per-sonnel into what he is today: theperson widely perceived to be call-ing the shots for the Cowboys.

They’ve picked foundation overflash in recent drafts and decidednot to stress the salary cap with abig contract for DeMarco Murrayafter he led the NFL in rushing fora playoff team. Stephen Joneswas front and center in thosedecisions.

The 50-year-old Jones findstalk of his leading role “interest-ing.” He believes little haschanged in 26 years of JerryJones as owner, general managerand ultimate arbiter of theCowboys, for better or worse. Buthe doesn’t completely squash thenotion.

“I think probably the biggestway things have changed is thathe probably has more confidencein me,” Jones says. “Although hemight not want to say that he did-n’t have confidence in me 20years ago, because I think he did.I think he listened to me a lot. Butdid he listen as much? Maybenot.”

The younger Jones was a 24-year-old chemical engineeringgraduate of Arkansas — where heand his dad played football —when Jerry Jones boughtAmerica’s Team in 1989, firedcoach Tom Landry and broughtinstant notoriety to a family thatquietly made its fortune in oil andgas.

Admittedly “green behind theears” as he found himself makingdecisions alongside then-coachJimmy Johnson, Stephen Joneswas confident in his football back-ground.

Looking back now, Jones fig-ures a healthy part of his growthcame in the four years Parcellswas with the Cowboys. His flam-boyant father and a Super Bowl-

winning coach who famouslyclashed with front offices on per-sonnel issues elsewhere didn’twant any “confrontational dis-agreement,” as the younger Jonesput it. So he got to play middleman.

“It helped me in a lot of ways,”Jones said. “Because I had tohave some real heated, heatedvisits with both Jerry and Bill.”

And he wasn’t afraid of them,says Jeff Ireland, the Cowboys’director of scouting in those days.Ireland remembers the Cowboysdeciding to do something differentin the draft room and needing totell Parcells, who Stephen Jonessays was the architect of severalchanges that made Dallas better.

“Stephen didn’t wait for hisdad,” Ireland said. “He said, ‘Hey,look, Jeff, we’re going to go and dothis and it’s not going to be a realhappy time for us.’ He knows howto handle people. And he knowshow to do it without disrespectingthem either.”

Jones says his dad still has thefinal decision. That included lastyear when he resisted his head-line-grabbing urge during thedraft and passed on JohnnyManziel for Zack Martin, a quietworkhorse offensive lineman whobecame the club’s first rookie All-Pro since Calvin Hill in 1969.

The more relevant draft roomdrama, Stephen Jones says, is

the buildup to each pick. Joneshas tried to make his voice heardwhen his dad gets anxious aboutmoving up.

“We’re going to be good here, Ithink,” Stephen Jones might say.

“Can you assure me one ofthese guys ...” his dad mightcounter.

“I can’t assure you of anything.I don’t know what these people ...”son might shout back.

“Well then we need to go get‘em,” father might say.

“So it’s a little fun dynamic inthere when he and I are visiting,”Stephen Jones adds, smiling.“But he’s a good listener. And Imean he listens more. In the past,he might not have had the confi-dence in me to listen as much, or(to) someone in the room.”

Jerry Jones said as muchbefore this year’s draft, when theCowboys pushed aside theirneeds at running back and wentwith Connecticut cornerbackByron Jones in the first round.

“Bottom line, without gettinginto it a lot, Stephen hasabsolute, tremendous influenceon these decisions that are ulti-mately made in this organizationand everything we do,” says JerryJones, also noting the input ofcoach Jason Garrett. “It would bemadness for two people to workas hard as these guys do, not to ...be influenced by what they aretelling you.”

Since winning three SuperBowls in four years in the 1990s,the Cowboys at times trashed thesalary cap trying to keep the coreof those teams together, and hadplenty of draft busts.

But Morris Claiborne (2012) isthe only first-round pick from2010-14 that hasn’t made a ProBowl. And the Cowboys cameaway from this year’s draft feelinglike they had three first-roundersin Jones, defensive end RandyGregory, and lineman La’elCollins.

Gregory, a projected top 10pick, fell to the end of the secondround over off-field issues, andCollins picked Dallas as a freeagent when he went undraftedafter he was named in a policeinvestigation in which he isn’t asuspect.

Memorial gardens offer a peacefuland healing place to remember lovedones and experience the serenityassociated with those fond memories.The bonds people create at LifeBridges in Cleveland, an agency thatprovides services for people withintellectual and developmental dis-abilities, are being honored with amemorial garden in remembrance ofresidents who have passed away. LifeBridges CEO, Diana Jackson, said:“The whole idea was to have a peace-ful place to remember the residentswe had the privilege to serve whohave passed away. There are markersfor several of our residents whosefinal resting places are not accessibleto our staff or the individuals weserve. We have placed markers ofremembrance for them in the garden.Future plans include the prospect ofa memorial listing all of the individu-als served who have passed away.Everything in the garden from thegrass, plants, and tree to the con-crete sidewalk, swing, and butterfly

ornaments were donated throughfund raisers and contributions fromsupporters. Our staff, led by formerstaff member, Marietta Glen, gar-nered the donations and completedall the work required to complete thegarden. It was truly a labor of love.”

Because a memorial garden liveson and offers live plants that, bytheir nature, provide soothing com-fort, individuals at home as well asplaces that provide assisted livingand other agencies across the coun-try are creating living memorial gar-dens to provide a tranquil place ofreflection — many with momentos,monuments and plaques. Jacksonsaid, “I wonder if some day we mighthave a stone to list everyone on whopassed away. It’s a thought.”

In addition to the Memorial GardenJackson was happy to announce thata written history of Life Bridges first40 years will soon be available in ahardcover edition through PathwayPress. The book is a project that tookfour years to come to fruition. LifeBridges has been serving individualswith intellectual and developmentaldisabilities since 1973.

It’s been standing on theSwafford farm for more than 75years, but its use was discontin-ued decades ago when indoorplumbing replaced the necessaryroom — the outhouse. The lonelystructure still has all the vital ele-ments, including a lid, whichused to feature the picture of twosix-guns with barrels facing eachother.

President Franklin D. Rooseveltwas the creator of the programwhich made it possible for ruralfamilies to have “adequate facili-ties” in order to attend to the nec-essary things.

His New Deal Program includedthe Works ProgressAdministration — the mostfamous since it affected the livesof so many people. It gave jobs tomore than 8.5 million people at

an average salary of $41.57 amonth. (Note: Some people nick-named the program “We putteralong” and other uncomplimenta-ry things. ) They built roads andbridges, public buildings such asairports, parks ... and outhouses.

Jim Swafford, the great-grand-son of the original owner of thefarm, said the workers came inwith precut lumber — like prefabbuildings — and quickly had theouthouses up for those whowanted them. Workers stayed inthe CCA camp on property onPeerless Road where St. ThereseCatholic Church is now located.

In addition to building, mat-tresses were made in a sewingroom set up at Hopewell BaptistChurch and conservation work-ers planted pine and locust treeswherever needed.

Swafford was only 2 or 3 yearsBanner photo, WILLIAM WRIGHT

old when his dad and mothermoved the family from town tothe country. His grandfather andhis grandfather's brother shareda 242-acre farm which theybought from their mother (theirfather died in 1893). Swafford'sgrandfather bought 132 acres ofthe farm. Upon his death thisacreage was divided between hischildren. Swafford's fatherreceived 45 acres which wereconnected to the 15 he alreadyowned, making a total of 60 acresfor his portion. Swafford's fatherthen built the family home. Thatwas in the 1940s.

The outhouse served the familyuntil indoor plumbing wasinstalled when Swafford wasabout 10 years old. The originalpit filled up, so the outhouse hadto be moved once — about six feetover — with the help of a team ofmules. (Visitors can see that thegrass is still greener in that spot.)It is wryly noted the catalog didnot serve a needed purpose —they had regular toilet tissue.

After Swafford married, he andhis wife, Frances, and son Brianlived in Prospect a few years.Later they rented a house fromSwafford's parents which eventu-ally became theirs. Swaffordworked for Cleveland ExpressTrucking Company for 43 yearsin accounting until the companywent out of business, so when heturned 64 years, he retired. Bothhe and Frances work part time forGrissom Funeral Home.

The farm on old GeorgetownRoad has been the home of sixgenerations. The original househas been renovated and remod-eled through the years, and oth-ers have been added, but the out-house and an old barn stillremain untouched — remindersof a time when water was carriedfrom a spring or well and electric-ity was not part of the utilitiesplan. The weathered boards havenever known paint, but they haveaged gracefully.

Today, 40 acres belong to Jimand Frances; the remaining 20acres belongs to son Brian andwife, Patty, and grandchildren,Cody and Courtney. This is wherethe outhouse stands today.

The WPA put more men to workthan women — only 13 1/2 per-cent were women in 1938 — thepeak year. The women, however,

did the lower-paying jobs such assewing, bookbinding, caring forthe elderly, nursery school,school lunch programs and recre-ation. When Ellen Woodward,director of the women’s pro-grams, pushed for women to beincluded in the ProfessionalProjects Division, the womenbegan receiving more equitabletreatment.

At first, federal support ofartists was held up, but HarryHopkins, ex-social worker, movedto help “tens of thousands ofartists” — creating funding for2,566 murals and 17,744 piecesof sculpture which decorate pub-lic buildings. Art, theater, musicand writing programs broughtmore art to more Americans thanever before or since, according toinformation provided by TV’s“American Experience” historyseries.

A poem was sent to Rooseveltto express appreciation for hisefforts concerning low-incomefamilies:“I think that we shall never see

A president like unto thee ...Poems are made by fools like me,But God, I think,

made Franklin D.”

By Rob CoombsID. Min. Ph.D.

From the mouths of babesoften comes the most remarkablewisdom, probably because itssource is still untainted by someof the harsher realities of life. Iwas reminded of this last weekwhen I had the privilege of spend-ing a few days with Evan.Standing about 30 inches tall, atthe ripe old age of 2, he either isliving life moment by moment tothe fullest or he is asleep. Keepingup with him is a challenge thatleaves even the fittest adultexhausted, by the end of the day.

But the exhaustion is wellworth the effort. There are fewthings in life more enjoyable thanjust watching and wonderingwhat might come forth from thisbundle of unbridled energy.

The second day of my stay withEvan, he rose at his usual time(6:30 a.m.) and announced to hismother and anyone else in theworld who might be listening,that “Today is a special day.”

“Really,” his mother ques-tioned, “Why is that?”

With eyes dancing he replied,“Because I want it to be.”

Wow!, I thought to myself. Is itreally that easy? Can we makeour days special simply becausewe want them to be? If that’s thecase, then why do so many indi-viduals rarely experience anydays that could be consideredspecial?

Ask most people how their dayis going and you will hear any-thing but the word “special.”“Getting by, I guess.” “Hanging inthere.” “Don’t ask.” “Do you reallywant to know?” “I’ll be glad whenthis week is over.” “My life sucks.”“OK.”

If we are privileged to live 75years, even then we will live agrand total of only 3,910 weeks.That’s 3,910 Mondays, 3,910Tuesdays, 3,910 Wednesdays —you get the idea.

Unfortunately, many are con-vinced that some days just can’tbe good because of the particularday of the week. “I hateMondays,” many bemoan.

Well, if you hate Mondays,there goes the potential for 3,910days of your life being special.

If every Wednesday is nothingmore than a “hump day” then it,too, won’t be special.

Hating both Mondays andWednesday means that 7,820days of your life won’t be special.

Many throw in another day ofthe week as a total waste, makingit virtually impossible to enjoyany special days for nearly half oftheir lives.

Knowing how quickly theweeks fly by as we age, I wonderwhy anyone would want to wasteeven one Monday or Wednesdayor any other day for that matter.

Our days are special for onereason and one reason only. Evanwas right. We choose to makeeach day special simply becausewe want it to be. It’s really thatsimple. It’s really our choice.

Repeatedly we are remindedthat circumstances, money, fame,and opportunity will not and can-not make life special. If we have aspecial day, it’s because we havechosen to make that day special.Knowing that we only have somany days to live, why wasteeven one?

Today is going to be special dayfor me.

Faith Hope Consolo: The changing state of luxuryNEW YORK (AP) — For more

than 30 years, real estate brokerFaith Hope Consolo has trekkedup and down side streets andcombed through clothing racksat stores all over the world tofind new fashion designers tobring to the U.S., from JimmyChoo to Paul Smith to GiorgioArmani.

As a result, Consolo hashelped to revitalize MadisonAvenue and Fifth Avenue ashubs of luxe shopping as well asreshape other retail corridors ofthe country from Los Angeles’Rodeo Drive to Boston’s NewburyStreet.

Consolo, now chairman ofDouglas Elliman Real Estate’sretail group, has seen manytrends in her position on thefront lines of luxury spending:from the shop ‘til you drop” men-tality that lasted for two decadesuntil the Great Recession whenshoppers retrenched or hid theirpurchases in brown paper bags.Now, she’s witnessing the post-recession preference for splurg-ing on vacations rather thandressing head-to-toe in designerduds.

The changing habits havehelped to slow luxury sales.According to consulting firmBain & Co., global sales of per-sonal luxury goods at constantexchange rates were expected torise 4 percent to 224 billioneuros, or $245 billion, last year,lower than the 7 percent growthrate from the previous year. Still,the luxury business has morethan recovered since the down-turn. According to MasterCardSpendingPulse data, whichtracks sales across all kinds ofpayments, luxury sales in theU.S. hit $12.7 billion last year,compared with $11.4 billion in2007.

In a wide-ranging interviewwith The Associated Press,Consolo discussed Birken bags,tourist spending, the shoppinghabits of millennials and more.Here are excerpts edited forlength and clarity.

Q. You brought Jimmy Chooto the U.S. back in the early1990s. Back then, he wasdesigning shoes for Lady Dianaand other royal family members.How did you find him?

A. I got lost (in London). I seethis one shoe in the window. Itwas a beautiful, beautiful shoe.

Q. What’s the current state ofthe luxury business?

A. It’s bastardized. I think peo-ple equate luxury just with price.Luxury (in the 1980s and 1990s)was different. Luxury was lessavailable. It was more aboutquality than quantity. It wasmore of a special customer. Now,luxury is not only mass pro-duced, every designer lends hisname. You can buy the Oscarname for a bottle of perfume.

Q. Other big challenges?A. E-commerce remains some-

thing luxury must work hard toembrace, and consignmentstores do provide both a chal-lenge and opportunity. A greatconcern going forward is thestaggering amount of studentdebt millennials are accumulat-ing. The future affluents(because they’re doctors,lawyers, MBAs) can’t enter theluxury shopping market as earlyas previous generations becausethey’re paying off tens, if nothundreds of thousands of dol-lars, of student loans. The mil-lennials who have a moneyedbackground will keep thingsgoing, but aspirational shopperswill remain just that for a while.

Q. The affluent shopped ‘tilthey dropped and then pulledback during the financial melt-down. There’s a shift in priori-ties, right?

A. Before, they were buyingthese products like they werebread. It was more about theconsumption and having ten ofthis and eight of that instead ofgetting a unique black lizardbag...It will never go back. Theshift in the trend now is not thatfashion is out. It’s about enter-tainment. It’s about going onvery luxurious holidays.Immersing in ridiculous events— with food and fashion. It’sabout the experience. That’s whyHermes still shines because youstill can’t get the Birken bag —no matter what time and whenyou want to do it.

Clothing is a challenging mar-ket. They’re still buying pieces.But the old days where peoplebought their entire wardrobefrom Armani, or Valentino orChanel, that doesn’t happennow.

Q. Which luxury brands doyou most admire and why?

A. Hermes and Chanel,because they have remained true

to themselves. They didn’t intro-duce bridge or even lower-pricedlines to attract the dollars of theaspirational shoppers. And thusthey didn’t lose those dollarsduring the downturn. Tiffany, onthe other hand, courted thatcustomer, and literally paid theprice during the downturn. Itstill is. Let’s see what will hap-pen in the timepiece sector asthey react to the Apple watch —and if Apple’s luxury version willsucceed.

Q. Is part of your job educat-ing landlords about new design-ers?

A. A lot of owners before wereless sophisticated about thebrands, although they ownedbeautiful buildings on Madisonand Fifth. They didn’t travel theworld. I remember bringingPrada and this owner said to me,‘Faith, what’s wrong with you?Who would pay that money fornylon shoes?’ He owned like 50buildings.

(For Gianni Versace), I calledthe owner. He kept screaming atme, ‘Johnny who? I’m not leas-ing to anybody called Johnny.’ Isaid, ‘No. It’s Gianni.’ I had to go

there and literally paint the pic-ture.

When I made one of the firstFresh deals, they didn’t want iteither. I went to the landlord’soffice. I brought the soap. Ibrought the hand cream. I toldeveryone in the office, ‘Stay here,smell this.’ I was putting handcream on everyone.

Q. Prices for designer goodshave soared.

A. The everyday Manolo(shoes) used to be $200 to $400.Now, it’s $600 to $800.

Q. Are prices stabilizing now?A. Yes. They feel they’re not

reaching the higher-end con-sumer. There’s been some talkfrom some European houses tolower prices.

Q. Macy’s and others havecited lower levels of spendingamong international tourists.Any worries?

A. We will be able to evaluatethat over the summer. I think it’sgoing to affect the departmentstores more than the brandstores. I think the brand store iswhat attracts them. So they willbuy one Chanel bag, one pair ofNike sneakers.

Whole Foods: New chain tobe named for ‘365’ store brand

NEW YORK (AP) — Whole Foodssays it will name its new chain ofsmaller stores with lower pricesafter its “365 Everyday Value”house brand.

Co-CEO Walter Robb tells TheAssociated Press that the chain willbe named “365 by Whole FoodsMarket,” a nod to the productsalready sold by the grocery chain.

NEW YORK (AP) — JimmyFallon spends his evenings ashost of NBC’s “The Tonight Show,”having fits of laughter withBradley Cooper, pretending to bea teenage girl whose favorite wordis “Ew!” and coming up with hash-tags, but the favorite part of hisday is when he’s at home, readingto his almost 2-year-old daughter,Winnie Rose.

“It’s a really good bondingmoment. I know I’m going to missthose days,” Fallon said.

He happily listed the titles fromhis inventory of children’s bookslike “Moo, Baa, La La La!” bySandra Boynton. “Oh my gosh, it’sa great book,” he gushed.

Now he’s adding his own book

to that inventory — “Your Baby’sFirst Word Will Be Dada” (Feiwel &Friends).

“It’s a secret mission that noone really discusses when youhave a baby. What’s baby’s firstword gonna be? These days thebaby’s first word is normallyiPad,” he joked.

Fallon said he was blatantlyobvious trying to get Winnie to say“dada.”

“I tried to trick my daughterinto saying ‘dada’ because Iwanted it to be her first word. Iwould call everything ‘dada.’ I’dpoint to her bottle and go ‘dada,’and I’d point to her food and say‘dada.’ I really didn’t care if shewas smart or anything. I justwanted her to say that for thehistory books,” he said.

His efforts didn’t work. Fallonsaid her first word was mama.(His wife is producer NancyJuvonen.)

Fallon, 40, said he also pickedup on what young ones like aboutstory time.

Fallon said his favorite qualityabout his own father is his sense

of humor.———

By JENNIFER FORKERAssociated Press

Emily Free Wilson was rentingspace in an old Helena, Montana,brick building where other artistsworked, when she began hostingcommunity events and kids’ sum-mer art camps.

“I remember my friend, a sculp-tor, telling me, ‘Emily, you’re run-ning an art center!’ And I said,‘No, I don’t want to!’” Free Wilsonrecalls.

Then she thought more aboutit: She did like sharing her space,organizing events and collaborat-ing with other artists. So she andher husband, Matt Wilson,bought and renovated a formermortuary. In moved their compa-ny, Free Ceramics, which pro-duces pottery notable for colorful,playful dots. Other artists —painters, a sculptor, a furniturerefinisher and crafters — alsomoved in, lured by 90-cents-a-square-foot studio spaces.

Free Ceramics has rented itsevents and gallery space — with avaulted ceiling and hardwoodfloors — for a square-dancingpotluck fundraiser, a preschoolgraduation ceremony, a furniturerefinishing class and more. Theplace is booming.

“It’s really important to havespaces like this in the world —places that encourage creativityand deepen that artistic spiritthat people need to share,” saysFree Wilson.

Unusual studio arrangementsand community art centers existnationwide to provide artists withfree or reduced-cost space and away to share their work with thepublic.

For example, the non-profitPonyride has for several yearsprovided space in a 30,000-square-foot Detroit warehouse tosocially conscious artists andentrepreneurs at a mere 20 centsto 25 cents per square foot.

Now Ponyride is launching anartists-in-residency program:Vetted artists will receive astipend, studio space and lodgingat the warehouse. In return,they’ll need to document theirwork and provide a workshop orseminar for the community.

“We want them to leave theirimprint on Detroit if they’re notfrom here,” says PonyrideExecutive Director KarlaHenderson.

In Denver, the non-profitPlatteForum hosts a single artistfor two months four times a year.What the artist receives: free lodg-ing, a stipend and ample studiospace. In return, the artist pro-vides open studio hours, andhosts an exhibit or workshop.

The program also links artistswith Denver children who arestruggling in school or don’t feelthey fit in.

“They’re the kids at low-per-forming schools who need to re-engage in school and learning andin themselves,” says JudyAnderson, an artist and artisticdirector at PlatteForum, whofounded the non-profit in 2002.Collaborating with musicians,dancers, painters and poets, shehopes, will provide hope anddirection for the children.

Multimedia artist Sarah

Rockett of Denver said her recentPlatteForum residency allowedher to build larger-scale sculp-ture.

“I’ve never had the space to doso, and grew immensely from theexperience,” says Rockett.“Working with the youth becamethe most important aspect for me.Their creative range anchored theplayfulness of my work.”

A short drive from Denver, thetown of Breckenridge, Colorado,provides artists with studio andliving space in its BreckCreateprogram, which includes a new$10 million Breckenridge ArtsDistrict campus with studios forceramic, glass, textile, and otherlocal and guest artists to sharetheir work. Artists from aroundthe country are invited to work atthis 1-acre arts campus for two tofour weeks. Additionally, threesmall artists’ studios are availablefor $250 a month.

Artists from cities “love the ideaof being in a mountain settingand being able to focus on their

work,” says Robb Woulfe,BreckCreate’s president andCEO. “Everyone can be inspiredin this environment.”

Painters, printmakers, andmixed-media and fiber artistsfrom Indiana, California,Washington and Hawaii will workin Breckenridge this summer andearly fall.

The payback for Breckenridge?Woulfe and town leaders hope anexpanded arts culture will estab-lish the ski town as a year-roundarts destination.

Also providing artists with inex-pensive work space: Grace Farmsopens in October in New Canaan,Connecticut, in part to helpartists pursue and share theirartwork among 80 acres of wood-lands, wetlands and meadowsopen to the public.

Mildew mars chairsDear Heloise: I have wrought-

iron patio chairs that have a pat-terned weave design. I noticed aGREEN MILDEW STAIN on them.Can you offer advice on how toclean them? The chairs sit out-side year-round, without covers.

I look forward to reading yourhints in The Columbus Dispatch.Thank you! — Jane Beavers,Columbus, Ohio

Jane, how nice to hear fromyou. I’ve visited your lovely cityseveral times and can still see thebeautiful Ohio State Theatre!

If you are seeing green (thecolor on the chair, not you!), thenit is probably mildew. Of course,bleach does clean mildew, but

don’t use it on wrought iron. So,let’s go to my most beloved VINE-GAR! Yes, it’s a very mild form ofacetic acid (usually 5-6 percent,or sometimes 9 percent) that youcan dilute with water, but itshould kill mildew without harm-ing the wrought iron.

First, brush off as much of the“green” as you can. Next step iscleaning: Add 4 cups of vinegarto 1 gallon of water and add asquirt of dish soap. Mix well andstart cleaning!

Scrub well, and get into asmany of the crevices as you can.Let sit until dry, rinse with ahose, scrub a little more, thenrinse again. That should do it! —Hugs, Heloise

Language barrierHi, Heloise: Please spread the

word: The term “ground” is dif-ferent from “floor.”

I always hear it said “floor,” asin “that person fell to the floor.”Yet the person is standing out-side in the yard! I get tired ofhearing the wrong terms used! —Louisa G., via email

Louisa, here is a thought:They could fall to the ground (dirtand soil, terra firma), sidewalk,floor, driveway, boat deck or reef.

What is it if there is a gardenand grass outside up on thepenthouse level of a building? Isthat “ground”? — Heloise

A sticky situationDear Heloise: We bought a

new love seat and sofa. I worriedabout keeping them clean withtwo dogs and a cat. I purchasedplastic rug-runner material (atan office-supply store) with thegripper spikes on one side.

I place the runner upsidedown on the furniture at nightand when I leave. The animalsdon’t like the spikes and don’t geton the furniture anymore. —Sherry in Colorado Springs, Colo.

In the nick of timeDear Heloise: When washing

and moisturizing my face, Ialways do my neck, too. Mostwomen forget to take care of thatarea. It really shows age, so don’tforget. — Ava G. in Los Angeles

Maggie Evans speaks at theOcoee Chapter DAR meeting

The Ocoee Chapter Daughtersof the American Revolution heldits June meeting recently at theElks Lodge. Regent Laura Boydpresided and Maureen Jaggers ledthe singing of the nationalanthem. Guests were introduced.

Boyd presented a certificate ofaward for “Service to Veterans” toRobert Lee Goins. He was also therecent recipient of the 2015 “BillNorwood Veterans Service Award,”presented by the SoutheastTennessee Veterans HomeCouncil.

Boyd reminded members toregister for the DAR EastTennessee Workshop to be held inAugust. She encouraged membersto observe Flag Day on June 14.and announced the 124thContinental Congress tol be inWashington on June 24–28. Thisyear marks the 125th anniversaryof the founding of Daughters ofthe American Revolution.

Members individually andchapters as a group are encour-aged to participate in service proj-ects in honor of this milestone.Members are asked to enter theirservice hours into DAR’s“Celebrate America! Online Tally”web link to help the NationalSociety reach our goal of 10 mil-lion hours of community service.

Vice-regent Jane Lucchesiintroduced the speaker, chaptermember Maggie Evans, whosetopic was “Flag Folding and FlagEtiquette.” Evans told of herfather who served on the USSWest Virginia during World War II.Along with many other engage-ments, the ship provided fire-sup-port for Marines on shore duringthe Battle of Iwo Jima.

Evans passed around a letterwritten by her father to his par-ents on Sept. 2, 1945, while hewas on board ship in Tokyo Bay.In another part of Tokyo Bay onthat same day, Japan’s envoyssigned the Instrument of

Surrender on the USS Missouri.The West Virginia remained therefor several weeks as part of theoccupation, with the crew anx-iously waiting to finally comehome.

She described the “homewardbound pennant” a U. S. Navy shipflies when heading home afterhaving been at sea outside theUnited States continuously for270 or more days. Normally, the“commission pennant” is theemblem of a warship, and in theU.S. Navy, this pennant is flownday and night at the loftiest pointfrom the time the ship is put intocommission. But from at least theearly 19th century, it has been thecustom of ships returning from along overseas deployment to fly anextra long “homeward bound pen-nant” specially made by the crew.This pennant is flown instead ofthe “commission pennant” fromthe time the ship heads to a U. S.port until sunset on the day ofarrival at that port.

The “homeward bound pen-nant” is one foot in length for eachmember of the crew who has beenon duty outside the U. S. for ninemonths or more, not to exceed thelength of the ship itself. Once theship arrives home, the pennant isdivided among the crew members.Evans displayed her father’s sec-tion of the pennant, a deep bluesquare with a large white star inthe middle.

She demonstrated the properway to fold the United States Flagfor a flag-folding ceremony, andexplained the symbolic meaningof each fold. She closed by readingthe third stanza of the “StarSpangled Banner,” and emphasiz-ing our country is “the land of thefree, because of the brave.”

A sympathy card was signed bythe group to send to memberJoyce Maupin whose brother andlast surviving sibling, KermitMaupin, passed away earlier in

the week. Members and guestsalso signed a card sending “getwell” wishes to the husband ofmember Linda Boyd.

The May/June issue ofAmerican Spirit has an interestingarticle about “Brides’ Boxes.”Brides of the 18th- and early19th-centuries had no photo-graphs to document their wed-dings. Instead, they had hand-crafted, painted boxes given tothem on their wedding day tostore special treasures from theirwedding.

The brides’ box tradition startedin the mid 1700s when artistsbegan painting elaborate, wed-ding-themed designs on boxes.The boxes were made of thinstrips of wood that had beensoaked in hot water to make thewood pliable. The boxes typicallyranged in size from three to 19inches in length and held keep-sakes such as pressed flowers,ribbons, lace, jewelry and othermementos.

Conservation Chairman Ann

Cherry provided tips for the con-servation of clean water whichinclude turning off the faucetwhile brushing teeth or shavingand taking shorter showers.

Lucchesi reported that the real-ization of the local veterans’ homeis a slow process, but that it ismoving along.

During the business session ofthe meeting, Gussie Ridgewayread the minutes of the May meet-ing. Linda Foster gave the trea-surer’s report and announced sheis now accepting dues for thecoming year. Registrar HelenRiden reported that applicationpapers for Jane Rumbaugh havebeen approved.

Following a drawing for doorprizes, Regent Boyd thanked host-esses Leigh Ann Boyd, LindaBoyd, Maggie Evans and NancyGuinn and adjourned the meet-ing. Following the adjournment, ababy shower was held for LeighAnn Boyd, with members andguests being treated to cake andice cream.

CHICAGO (AP) — With oneout of four U.S. doctors olderthan 65, the American MedicalAssociation adopted a planMonday to help decide whenit’s time for aging senior physi-cians to hang up the stetho-scope.

The nation’s largest organi-zation of doctors agreed tospearhead an effort to createcompetency guidelines forassessing whether older physi-cians remain able to providesafe and effective care forpatients.

Doctors have no mandatoryretirement age, unlike pilots,military personnel and a fewother professions where mis-takes can be deadly. All doc-tors must meet state licensingrequirements, and some hospi-tals require age-based screen-ing. But there are no nationalmandates or guidelines on howto make sure older physicianscan still do their jobs safely.

The AMA agrees it’s time tochange that. The plan it adopt-ed is outlined in a report byone of its councils, which notesthat the number of U.S. physi-cians aged 65 and older hasquadrupled since 1975 andnow numbers 240,000. In avote without debate, the AMAagreed to convene groups tocollaborate in developing pre-liminary assessment guide-lines, as recommended in thereport. The report says testingshould include an evaluationof physical and mental healthand a review of doctors’ treat-ment of patients. It doesn’tspecify who would do theassessing nor how often itwould take place.

“Unfortunate outcomes maytrigger an evaluation at anyage, but perhaps periodicreevaluation after a certain agesuch as 70, when incidence ofdeclines is known to increase,may be appropriate,” thereport says.

It’s among more than 250reports and resolutions pre-pared for the meeting, whereAMA delegates vote on whichproposals become official AMApolicy. The meeting endsWednesday.

The AMA’s Council onMedical Education wrote thereport and says “physiciansshould be allowed to remain inpractice as long as patientsafety is not endangered.”Developing guidelines andstandards for monitoring andassessing both their own andtheir colleagues’ competency“may head off a call formandatory retirement ages orimposition of guidelines byothers,” the report says.

Typical age-related changesin hearing, vision, memoryand motor skills all couldpotentially affect physicians’competence, the report says,

but notes there is no evidencethat directly links thesechanges to worse outcomes forpatients.

While some physiciansthink they will know when it’stime to retire, the report saysevidence disputes that.

It’s a touchy topic for olderdoctors, and not all welcomethe prospect of extra scrutiny.

“I don’t myself have anydoubts about my competencyand I don’t need the AMA oranybody else to test me,” saidDr. William Nyhan, an 89-year-old pediatrician, geneticsresearcher, runner and tennisplayer who works with theUniversity of California, SanDiego and a children’s hospitalthere.

“There are a lot of peopleoverlooking my activities”already, he said. “This is a liti-gious society — if we weremaking mistakes, we’d besued.”

Dr. Jack Lewis of Omaha,Nebraska, turns 81 this weekand has worked as an internalmedicine specialist for half acentury — first with his dad,who worked until age 83, andnow with his 41-year-oldphysician son.

“My dad always told me towatch to see if he was makingmistakes or losing it, and myson is watching me the sameway,” Lewis said.

Lewis sees 25 to 30 patientsdaily. While his “hands aren’tas good as they used to be”and he sometimes forgetspatients’ names, he doesn’tthink anyone should makehim leave the work he loves.

He agrees that some sort ofage-based assessment forphysicians is probably a goodidea, but said, “If I made amistake, I’d be the first one toquit here.”

Dr. Louis Borgenicht, a SaltLake City pediatrician, wasforced by a hospital to take acomputer-based mentalassessment test last yearbefore he turned 72. He decid-ed recently to stop doing cir-cumcisions because of a mildtremor in his hands, but oth-erwise said his age doesn’taffect his work.

“I was hoping to fail the testso I could go to the AmericanCivil Liberties Union and say

this is ageism,” Borgenichtsaid.

He said the test was basedon one given to airplane pilotsand wasn’t relevant to hismedical skills. Borgenicht saidhe supports the AMA’s involve-ment in developing screeningassessments, “but it’s got to bebased on something thatmakes sense.”

U.S. physicians must belicensed to practice in thestate where they work andrequirements generallyinclude an evaluation of med-ical education and training,malpractice and discipline his-tory. Licenses must berenewed yearly or every twoyears; but no competencyexams are required after initiallicensure, regardless of thedoctor’s age.

The Joint Commission, aprivate accrediting group,requires U.S. hospitals to peri-odically evaluate physicians’performance. Most hospitalsdo these evaluations everynine months for physicians ofall ages, said Dr. Ana McKee,the commission’s chief med-ical officer.

The University of VirginiaHealth System and StanfordHealth Care, at StanfordUniversity, are among institu-tions that require additionalscrutiny of older doctors.

Stanford’s policy began lastyear for physicians aged 75 orolder and requires a specialassessment every two years. Itincludes a performance evalu-ation and a comprehensivemedical history and physicalexam, said Dr. Ann Weinacker,a Stanford quality improve-ment specialist.

“It is not a pass-fail type ofscreening. However, if con-cerns are raised, we requirethe person to have furtherevaluation,” she said.

The University of Virginia’sscreening began in 2011 fordoctors and some other med-ical staff starting at age 70 andinvolves physical and cognitiveexams every two years.

“The vast majority of themscore very well,” said Dr. ScottSyverud, chair of the universi-ty medical center’s credentialscommittee.

Those who don’t “can chooseto cut down their practice oreven to retire,” Syverud said,although he declined to say ifany have been deemed incom-petent.

Syverud, 58, said thescreening began not because ofany incident, but because “weare all aging practitioners,including me. It’s good to havean independent check that weare still capable” of providingcompetent care.

Beyond Lyme, new illnesses are reason to watch for ticks

WASHINGTON (AP) — Lymedisease makes the headlines butthere are plenty of additional rea-sons to avoid tick bites. Newresearch highlights the latest in agrowing list of tick-borne threats— a distant relative of Lymethat’s easy to confuse with otherillnesses.

Monday’s study suggests akind of bacteria with an unwieldyname — Borrelia miyamotoi —should be on the radar when peo-ple in Lyme-endemic areas getotherwise unexplained summer-time fevers. It’s one of severalrecently discovered diseaseslinked to ticks in different partsof the country, a reminder to gettick-savvy no matter where youlive.

“People need to be aware ofwhat tick-borne diseases are intheir area,” says Dr. Peter J.Krause of Yale University, a spe-cialist who reviewed the research.“And they should know how toavoid ticks.”

WHAT’S THIS NEW INFECTION?

The first U.S. case was report-ed in 2013 in New Jersey, an 80-year-old cancer survivor whoover four months becameincreasingly confused, had diffi-culty walking and lost 30pounds. Doctors found spiral-shaped bacteria in her spinalfluid that looked like Lyme butcaused a relapsing fever moreclosely related to some other tick-borne illnesses. While treatableby antibiotics — the womanrecovered — doctors know littleabout B. miyamotoi.

Monday’s study offers some

clues. Researchers with ImugenInc., a Massachusetts testing lab,tested blood samples frompatients in Massachusetts,Rhode Island, New Jersey andNew York whose doctors suspect-ed tick-borne illnesses and usedthat lab. During the 2013 and2014 tick seasons the lab found97 cases of the new infection.That’s roughly 1 percent of sam-ples tested and close to the lab’sdetection of a better-known tickdisease named anaplasmosis,researchers reported in Annals ofInternal Medicine. More researchis needed to determine just howprevalent the disease is.

Researchers then analyzedmedical records from 51 of thosepatients, and found symptomstypically include a high fever,severe headache, chills and bloodabnormalities — decreases ininfection-fighting and blood-clot-ting cells. About a quarter ofpatients were hospitalized,although Imugen medical direc-tor Dr. Philip Molloy cautionedthat’s probably because doctorsare seeking testing only for theirsickest, most puzzling patients.

The bacterium is carried bydeer ticks, also known as black-legged ticks, which also canspread Lyme and two other ill-nesses, babesiosis and anaplas-mosis.

IT’S NOT THE ONLY NEW WORRY

Two new tick-borne viruseswere recently discovered in theMidwest, and neither has a spe-cific treatment.

The Centers for DiseaseControl and Prevention has con-

firmed nine cases ofHeartland virus, and onedeath, with other reportsunder investigation, saidCDC entomologist RogerNasci. Symptoms includefever, fatigue, headaches,muscle aches, diarrheaand low blood counts.Identified in Missouri, thevirus also was reported inTennessee andOklahoma, although theLone Star tick thatspreads it lives aroundthe East and Southeast.

Then there’s theBourbon virus, with sim-ilar symptoms, discov-ered last year after thedeath of a Kansas manand named for his homecounty. Another patient,in Oklahoma, recovered.

Study: Rapepreventiontraining works,cuts rape risk

By Marilynn MarchioneAP Chief Medical Writer

A program that taught collegewomen ways to prevent sexualassault cut in half the chancesthey would be raped over the nextyear, a Canadian study found. Itwas the first large, scientific testof resistance training, and thestrong results should spur moreuniversities to offer it, expertssay.

Five percent of freshmanwomen who went through thefour-session program said theyhad been raped during the follow-ing year, compared to 10 percentof others who were just givenbrochures on assault prevention.Attempted rapes also were lower— about 3 percent in the traininggroup versus more than 9 percentof the others.

The results are “startling,” saida prominent researcher on sexassault with no role in the study,University of Arizona psychologistMary Koss.

“Universities should move rightaway to figure out how they canimplement a program like this,”she said. “We don’t have to look atwomen as being so helpless andvulnerable. There are tools toempower women that can dra-matically cut their risk of rape.”

The study involved about 900students, ages 17 to 24, at theuniversities of Windsor, Guelphand Calgary. It was funded by theCanadian Institutes of HealthResearch and the University ofWindsor. Results are inThursday’s New England Journalof Medicine.

THE PROBLEMResearchers say as many as 20

percent of women are sexuallyassaulted during their collegeyears with the risk greatest thefirst year. Women who have beenassaulted in the past are morelikely to be again, and about athird of the women in this studyhad such a history, partlyaccounting for the high rate ofrape at one year.

Some universities try variousrape prevention or self-defenseprograms, but many have notbeen tested and some that weretested didn’t help.

THE TRAININGThe study’s leader, psychologist

Charlene Senn at the Universityof Windsor, developed the pro-gram — four, three-hour sessionson recognizing danger, resistingpressure to have sex, and physi-cal self-defense.

As opposed to strangers,“known men are responsible for90 percent of the rapes on cam-pus,” from dates to casualacquaintances, she said.

Women were randomlyassigned to get either training orthe kind of advice and brochuresmany colleges provide.

MEASURING SUCCESSOne year after training ended,

participants took an online sur-vey largely developed by Koss, theArizona researcher, and widelyused by other researchers.

“It’s the best measure becauseit doesn’t label, it doesn’t say,‘have you been raped,’ but asksabout experiences such as pene-tration against the person’s will,”Senn said.

Responses were grouped ascompleted rape, attempted rape,sexual coercion, attempted coer-cion or nonconsensual sexualcontact.

RESULTSAll types except coercion were

lower in the group given training.Only 22 women would need totake the program to prevent oneadditional rape within a year, theresearchers calculated.

WHAT WOMEN IN THESTUDY SAY

Bonita Loki Teixeira, 24, now asenior at the University ofWindsor, said “knowing the cues,how to avoid being in situationswhere there can be the possibilityof harm,” and tips like keeping aclose eye on any drinks she has ata party, were helpful. The pro-

Cervical cancer vaccine might work after just 1 shot, not 3

LONDON (AP) — Protectinggirls from cervical cancer mightbe possible with just one dose ofthe HPV vaccine rather than thethree now recommended, a newanalysis suggests.

The authors of the studyacknowledged it isn’t convincingenough to change vaccinationstrategies immediately. But iftheir results are confirmed,requiring just one dose of the vac-cine could have a big impact onhow many girls around the worldget immunized.

Cervical cancer is the fourth-most common cause of cancerdeath in women worldwide and isestimated to kill more than260,000 every year.

Researchers from the U.S.National Cancer Institute andelsewhere looked at data fromprevious trials covering morethan 24,000 young women to seehow much protection they gotfrom one, two or three doses ofthe HPV vaccine, Cervarix. Theyestimated vaccine effectivenessafter about four years to bebetween 77 percent and 86 per-cent for all the young women,regardless of how many shotsthey received.

If fewer doses could be used,“the potential is huge to preventthe deaths of millions of women,”said Julia Brotherton, medicaldirector of the National HPVVaccination Program Register in

Australia.The study was paid for by the

U.S. National Cancer Instituteand others including the vac-cine’s maker, GlaxoSmithKlinePLC. It was published onlineWednesday in the journal LancetOncology.

Brotherton authored anaccompanying commentary andsaid in an email the results were“really promising and so strongthat it is difficult to imagine”there could be a confounding fac-tor to explain the finding. Shesaid it wasn’t clear why one doseappeared to be so effective, butsuggested the “virus-like” particleused to make the vaccine mighthave provoked a particularlystrong response from the girls’immune systems.

Besides Glaxo’s Cervarix, asimilar vaccine, Gardasil, is soldby Merck & Co. It’s unclear if thatvaccine would also work withfewer doses, although expertssaid that was possible sinceGardasil is also made with virus-like particles.

Glaxo welcomed the findingsbut said in a statement “at thistime, we have no plans to file fora single-dose license.”

Young girls typically start get-ting vaccinated around age 11 to12 and each dose of the HPV vac-cine costs about $100.

The Kansas man had found anembedded tick days before get-ting sick, and CDC researchersare searching for the culpritspecies.

HOW MANY DISEASES CAN

TICKS SPREAD?

The CDC counts 14 illnesseslinked to specific U.S. tickspecies, not including theBourbon virus still being studied.

Lyme is the most common,with about 30,000 cases reportedeach year, although CDC hasestimated that the true numbercould be 10 times higher. It’s tooearly to know how widespreadthe newly discovered illnessesare. But people can be infectedwith more than one tick-borneillness simultaneously, compli-cating care.

Health officials stress that it’simportant to enjoy the outdoorsand get physical activity.Infections are more common insome parts of the country thanothers, and there are effective

protections.“A lot of people get very con-

cerned about any tick bite,” saidNasci, who heads CDC’s arbovi-ral diseases branch. “Not everytick is infected.”

If you are bitten, remove thetick as soon as possible.

PREVENTION IS BEST

No matter where you live,CDC’s advice is similar.

—Shower soon after being out-doors to spot ticks more easily,and check pets that can carryticks inside.

—If you’ve been in tick-infestedareas, carefully do a full-bodycheck, including under arms,behind knees, ears and hair.

—When in the woods, walk inthe center of trails, avoidingbrush and leaf litter.

—Use bug repellent with DEETon exposed skin, or wear longpants and long sleeves.

—Discourage ticks aroundhomes by keeping grass cut;removing leaf litter and brush;and placing a barrier of woodchips or gravel between lawnsand wooded areas.

During each year, there are anumber of observances that cele-brate the wonderful history of ourcountry.

We are just a few weeks fromJuly 4, when we celebrate ournation’s independence.

Today, June 14, is a proud andcherished day in our history aswell … Flag Day.

I can remember in school,teachers would lead in the Pledgeof Allegiance to our flag of theUnited States of America.

In addition, during my time inthe state House ofRepresentatives, each sessionopened with that same pledge.

According to USFlag.org, theidea of an annual day specificallycelebrating the flag is believed tohave first originated in 1885. Aschoolteacher, BJ Cigrand, inFredonia, Wis., arranged for hispupils to observe June 14 (the108th anniversary of the officialadoption of the stars and stripes)as “Flag Birthday.”

In numerous magazines andnewspaper articles and publicaddresses over the followingyears, Cigrand continued toenthusiastically advocate theobservance of June 14 as “FlagBirthday” or Flag Day. Inspiredby three decades of state andlocal celebrations, Flag Day —the anniversary of the FlagResolution of 1777 instructing

Georgia’s first flyer inspires mountain Civil War novel

A retired newsman turnedauthor, Wally Avett says his lat-est novel was inspired by a little-known bit of Georgia history.

“In the remote North Georgiawilderness just a few years afterthe Civil War, a backwoodsinventor flew primitive aircraftfrom a steep, fence-rail launch-ing ramp, years before the WrightBrothers.

“‘Coosa Flyer’ is pure fiction,”Avett continued. “But it’s basedon a fascinating story that ispure fact. In Blairsville andUnion County, Ga., it’s fairly

well-known, but few folks outsidethe area are aware of it.”

Micajah Clark Dyer was theearly airman who flew a craft,most likely a glider, that eyewit-nesses said resembled “a dragon-fly.”

A resident of Cherokee, theadjoining North Carolina county,Avett said the Dyer story has fas-cinated him for years.

He wrote a newspaper column,a factual piece on Dyer’s work,which serves as a prologue for“Coosa Flyer.” The fictional novelthen follows.

There is some folk humor anda gentle love story, also frustra-tion as the hero’s dream of pow-ered flight is doomed by lack of a

NEW YORK (AP) — Professionalranter Adam Carolla speaks vol-umes in the title of his latestbook: “Daddy, Stop Talking!”

The comedian and GuinnessWorld Record-holding podcaster(for most downloads) is the fatherof 9-year-old twins. He trash talkstidbits in the book, out May 26from HarperCollins, on just aboutall aspects of parenting, from theuselessness of ant farms to thissage observation about youngadulthood: “Owning a house willturn you into an a-hole.” Only heused the real word.

In time for Father’s Day, thenewly minted 51-year-old talkeddaddyhood in a recent interview,but he predictably veered offtopic, suggesting birthdaysmorph into Personal AchievementDay, for instance, to avoid thatannual milestone for the world’slosers and despots.

Carolla has made trips to thebest-seller lists with three previ-ous books, including last year’s“President Me: The AmericaThat’s in My Head.” The new oneoffers an often throwback visionof fatherhood, as explained thuslyin the introduction:

“It used to be enough to feed,shelter and clothe your kid. ... Ifmy dad had put down his cigarand gotten off the sofa, he wouldhave been a saint. So this is abook for all the other dads outthere like me, who yearn for thedays of a lower bar. You’re wel-come.”

A conversation about father-hood with Adam Carolla:

—-Q: What usually happens for

you on Father’s Day? Do you get abig Father’s Day?

Carolla: No, I’m not a bigFather’s Day guy. I’m not a bigbirthday guy. I’m not a big any-thing guy. I sleep in and get to dowhat I want for one day, probably.

Q: Why write about parenting?Is that your last frontier?

Carolla: I’m always sort of headon a swivel, ears wide open look-ing for things to talk about andthen you realize having twins,especially, a boy and girl, bringingthem home from age 0 to now 9,there’s a lot of observations andthere’s a lot to talk about.

Q: What do you like best aboutbeing a dad?

Carolla: My favorite part aboutbeing a dad is the way my kidsfeel about me. I’ve been sort oftoying with this idea that I thinkthe moms, at least in my relation-ship, the mom needs to be thereand be hands on, and if theyscrape their knee the first thingthey want is mom. They needmom full time, emotionally andbeyond.

But dad is more of a guy thatthey need a really good idea of.They know daddy’s makingmoney and providing theirlifestyle and keeping them safe bygetting them a safe car and a safehouse and a safe neighborhood,so they know while mommy isdoing her things hands on,daddy’s over here working, too,for them but he’s just not there asmuch as mommy, and then whendaddy comes home we’re going tothrow the ball around.

The idea of daddy is much morepowerful than the actual day-to-day of daddy. They don’t need methere every morning making thembreakfast. They need to know thatI’m always there as an umbrellathat’s going to take care of them.

Q: What were some of the sur-prises when you became a par-ent?

Carolla: My biggest surprise asa parent is just how these kidsare on a trajectory and we’re try-ing to steer this car from thebackseat. It’s sort of a narcissisticthing to think that we could dothat much shaping. My daughteris one personality. My son is acompletely different personality.It’s not because she got too muchattention and he was deprived ofattention. They both got the exactsame thing: food, diet, whatever,exposure to television.

All the nonsense you hearabout, you know, they have to lis-ten to classical music whenthey’re in their prenatal whatever.

It doesn’t amount to a hill of crap.These kids do what they do. Theyare who they are. You can screwthem up, don’t get me wrong. Youcan neglect them and abuse themand deprive them. You can screwa kid up but as far as, ‘Oh, you’regoing to be an attorney’ or ‘You’regoing to be a rock drummer’ or‘You’re going to be a doctor,’ atleast in my experience, they arewho they are.

Q: Tell me about your owncrappy childhood. You’ve writtenabout it.

Carolla: Yeah, I had a crappychildhood in terms of my parentswere just, I don’t know, I alwayskind of wonder why they had

kids. They just weren’t into it.They weren’t into the good stuff orthe bad stuff. They just weren’tinto it. I suppose they weredepressed most of the time andjust didn’t feel like leaving thehouse or doing anything for any-body.

I made sure that I wasn’t goingto make that mistake with mykids, so I get up in the morningand I hug them and I go, ‘Hey I’mso glad you’re here. Isn’t thisgreat? I love being your dad. Isn’tthis awesome?’

My parents were just very lais-sez-faire so I’ve overcompensatedin that respect and try to be posi-tive and happy.

Pro ranter Adam Carolla speaks volumes on fatherhood in book

Ap photo

AdAm CArollA speaks during and interview in New York.Carolla, the father of 9-year-old twins, speaks volumes in the title ofhis latest book, “Daddy, Stop Talking!”

Great gifts for dear old dad(MS) — Father’s Day is right

around the corner, and the timehas come once again to beginsearching for a gift for dear olddad.

Father’s Day gift shoppers havelong since abandoned the notionthat a new necktie is what dadreally wants, but finding a giftthat expresses your love andappreciation for the old man canstill prove somewhat challenging.

Oftentimes, the best gifts arethe ones that fulfill a need orwant, and Father’s Day gifts areno exception.

The following are a handful ofFather’s Day gift ideas for dadswhose hobbies run the gamut.

The Sports NutDads who can’t get enough of

their favorite teams would nodoubt appreciate some new gearor even tickets to see theirfavorite teams play.

If you opt to buy tickets to aballgame, make it a family affair,as dad would no doubt appreciatean afternoon at the ballpark withhis kids and/or grandkids.

For a father who no longer livesin the market where his teamsplay, consider purchasing astreaming service or televisionpackage that allows the old manto see his favorite team no matterwhere he’s living.

The Movie MogulSome dads simply can’t get

enough of the silver screen, and astreaming service that allows dadto watch many of his favoritemovies on demand from the com-forts of home might make the per-fect gifts for film-loving fathers.

Services like Netflix andAmazon Prime offer hundreds oftitles, and monthly or yearly sub-scriptions cost relatively littlemoney.

The Doting GrandfatherSome men simply want to

spend more time with family,especially grandfathers whonever tire of afternoons with theirgrandchildren.

If dad has retired and movedaway, a trip to see his grandkidsmight make the ideal gift thisFather’s Day.

Arrange the dates with mom soyou are not surprising dad with atrip at a time when he alreadyhas plans, and make sure toschedule some fun activities forthose days when dad is in town.

The OutdoorsmanFathers who love the great out-

doors might appreciate some newcamping gear, a new fishing poleor even some comfortable hiking

boots. When shopping for the out-

doorsman in your life, considerwhich outdoor activity is hisfavorite (i.e., boating, fishing,kayaking, etc.) and try to find thelatest useful gadget or newestproduct made for such enthusi-asts.

If you don’t share the samepassion for the great outdoorsand are hesitant to buy some-thing you’re unsure about, a giftcertificate to an outdoorsman orsporting goods store will suffice.

Father’s Day is a time eachyear when dads are told howmuch they are loved and appreci-ated.

This year, a gift that impliesboth those sentiments is sure tomake dad smile.

spendingtime with dadmay be thebest gift.

(MS) — It's all about remem-bering Dad's favorites on Father'sDay.

You know what Dad reallywants for Father’s Day this year?A sandwich.

No, seriously. Guys generallyare not complex creatures. Andthey don’t tend to ask for much.The occasional electronic gizmo(which they’d rather pick out forthemselves anyway, thank youvery much). Maybe tickets to asports game. Perhaps somebodyelse to mow the lawn for once.Heck, even just a night off to playpoker with his buddies.

See what I mean? Guys areeasy. Which is why no matterwhat sort of dad you have,chances are very good that hewould love somebody to makehim a killer sandwich.

Which is to say, you can’t justmake him a ham and cheese onwhite bread. Even basic guys likea great sandwich, emphasis onthe great. So we created a sand-wich inspired by one of the mostfamous sandwich-loving dads:Dagwood Bumstead. His versionwas more difficult to eat — andoften twice the size of his head —but we tamed it only slightly.Serve with a pickle spear and apile of crisp potato chips or

french fries.

Make Every Dad Look Great With A Haircut From

DaD LighTs the way for an evening walk with his wearable head-lights.

Show dad he’s your hero this Father’s Day

(StatePoint) — If Dad is yourhero, Father’s Day is the perfecttime to let him know.

Luckily, there are plenty of funways to shine a light on Dad’svalor — from cool new gifts tohandmade creations.

Athletic GearMaybe it’s been a month since

Dad laced up his sneakers — butyou can change that.

Whether it’s a new set ofweights, a mountain bike repairkit, or reflective running apparel,you can help keep Dad in superhero shape while promoting hisathletic interests.

Cool ToolsAdults view many everyday

tasks as mundane, parentingmoments — whether it’s chang-ing a flat tire, pitching the tent ona camping trip, or checking formonsters under the bed. But to achild, these tasks can seem hero-ic, especially with the right tools.

Give Dad the right accessoriesto perform these tasks with theease of a hero.

Wearable headlights are notonly comfortable and compact,but they can also help dads com-plete projects that require two

hands. A new range of water-resistant,

drop-tested headlights fromEnergizer feature powerful LEDs,a patented digital focus, dimmingtechnology, shatter-proof lensesand a handy pivoting function,giving users the ability to controlthe beam direction.

The Energizer Vision HD+Focus, the most innovative head-light in the collection, allows for abeam of up to 80 meters. Moreinformation can be found atwww.Energizer.com/fathers-daysavings.

Write a StoryCelebrate all of Dad’s heroic

accomplishments with a comicstrip or short story.

Whether your Super Dad fixeda flat tire in an emergency,helped you finish your scienceproject at the 11th hour orturned a boring day of errandsinto an adventure, you can showyour appreciation by making himthe protagonist of your own liter-ary creation.

This Father’s Day, go beyondthe standard tie. With a bit ofthoughtful creativity, you can letDad know just how much hemeans to you.

Make Father’s Day more enjoyable for your dad

(MS) — Dad gets to be king ofhis castle at least one day duringthe year. Come mid-June, chil-dren near and far scramble forideas to treat their fathers to aspecial day and award him withgifts for being a role model,provider and confidante.

Father's Day activities shouldbe centered around Dad's inter-ests.

With that in mind, the follow-ing are some ideas to honor Dador another special man in yourlife.

n Sports Sunday: If Dad is asports fan, his idea of spending afun-filled afternoon very well maybe cheering on his favorite play-ers.

Whether your father enjoysgolf, tennis, baseball, soccer, oranother sport like hunting orfishing, chances are there is a tel-evision broadcast on that youcan watch together. Otherwise,you can surprise Dad by pur-chasing tickets to a sportingevent and making a day of it atthe ballpark.

n Beach bound: A relaxingday at the beach may be the per-fect way to spend Father's Day.Dad can enjoy the entire familywhile sitting back in his beachchair and watching the waves rollin. Pack a picnic lunch with hisfavorite foods and a cold beer,and Dad may just say this washis best celebration yet.

n Adventure seeker: If yours is

a father who enjoys living on theedge, a Father's Day activity builtaround action and adventureshould be a winner. Take Dadbase jumping, rock climbing,scuba diving, or race car driving.Any of these activities is bound toget Dad's adrenaline pumping.

n R&R: Dad's idea of the per-fect Father's Day may be anafternoon free of obligations anddeadlines. A relaxing day in theyard swimming laps in the poolor hitting a few grounders to yourwaiting baseball mitt may be allthe excitement he needs. Toss afew steaks on the grill to giveFather's Day a truly perfect end-ing.

n Impromptu party: Somedads like to be the center ofattention. A Father's Day partythrown in his honor, completewith friends and family, can bean entertaining way to spend theday.

If you are worried about inter-rupting others' Father's Dayplans, host the gathering on theSaturday before Father's Day andlet Dad be the life of the party.Finger foods, barbecue, a limitedlist of cocktails and other bever-ages and some backgroundmusic are all that you need tohost a festive function.

Plan a Father's Day celebra-tion with your dad in mind.Cater to his favorite activitiesand opt for entertainment thathe will enjoy.

FaTher's Day may be best spent taking in a sporting event,especially if dad is a big sports fan.

Think beyondthe tie for gifts

(StatePoint) — The tie has beena traditional Father’s Day giftsince the holiday was first cele-brated. But this year, men’s fash-ion experts say think beyond thisstaid accessory while Father’sDay shopping.

“The modern man is expressinghimself in much broader waysand rounding out his wardrobewith more creativity than he hasin the past,” says Denis DalyWood, founder of Dalys 1895,fourth-generation luxury men’sdesigner and online retailer.

that our flag be red, white andblue with stars and stripes —was officially established by theproclamation of PresidentWoodrow Wilson on May 30,1916.

While Flag Day was celebrat-ed in various communities foryears after Wilson's proclama-tion, it was not until Aug. 3,1949, that President Harry S.Truman signed an Act ofCongress designating June 14of each year as National FlagDay to officially celebrate OldGlory.

What does the flag mean toyou?

To me, that Star-SpangledBanner means freedom. Itmakes me think of the braveAmericans who have given theirlives to defend it. I feel stronglyabout protecting and honoringour flag for those reasons andmore.

If you have heard my opinionconcerning defacing or burningour flag, you know I feel that isa truly horrible act that isuncalled-for and borders oncriminal behavior.

I know my feelings on thematter are not “politically cor-rect,” but I stand by my opin-ion.

Our flag has been fought for,died for … and it should be pro-tected. I see our nation’s flageach time I drive up to myoffice. It flies freely, just abovethe Tennessee state flag.

I will always have a feeling ofpride in that flag. It representsus all.

Our beliefs might differ onmany matters in life today;however, I feel we should allhave respect for the Stars andStripes and all that it symbol-izes.

I am proud to be your sheriffand to live in the land of thefree and the home of the brave.

Leaves of 3, grabsome gloves

An ocean of calamine lotionIt always seems like you never

know how allergic you are to poi-son ivy until you find yourself cov-ered in it.

This was certainly the casewhen working on the college farm,when on one fenceline weed-whacking marathon I found bliss-fully obliterating a huge patch ofthe stuff, trimming away withoutnoticing the flying bits of ivy I wascovered in.

You can bet that I noticed laterthat evening, when the evidence ofmy inattention appeared in large,red blisters!

Now, with the summer sunbeating down on Bradley County,many of the new poison ivy shootsappear to be reaching right aboutknee height, and many of the hairy“climber”-type vines are covered intheir characteristic leaves.

I will assume that everyonereading this has heard the saying,“Leaves of three, leave them be” inreference to avoiding poison ivy,but an even better way to identifythis plant is to take a look at a pic-ture (in fact, my column last weekran right next to a picture of poi-son ivy — very helpful).

The dose makes the poisonNow, I wouldn’t recommend

anyone weed whacking poison ivy,but its abundance in the land-scape and unpleasant effect onskin mean that I do occasionallyget calls from homeowners or gar-deners who are interested in erad-icating this noxious plant fromtheir landscape.

Poison ivy can appear as ashrub or a vine, and depending onhow it presents itself in a garden,yard or forested area the controlwill be slightly different.

If the infestation is small, then itcan actually be dug by the root —this means full protective gear(long sleeves, pants, gloves, etc.)and being careful of any oilresidues you pick up on yourclothes before you wash them.

Be wary — the toxic compoundsthat cause reactions are found notonly in the leaves, but also in theroot and the stem.

For larger poison ivy “planti-ngs”and vines, the treatment getsa little more chemical.

UT Extension publications rec-ommend cutting the stem of theplant or a section out of the vineand directly applying an herbicidewith the active ingredientglyphosate (found in Roundup). Besure to read all the labels on theherbicide you select and be awarethat glyphosate is “nonselective,”meaning that it will kill all plants ittouches — both broadleaf andgrass.

Final stepsThe key to much of poison ivy

eradication is caution — evenplants that are dead and dried cancause an allergic reaction, andshould never be burned.

Interestingly, however, if poisonivy is composted, then the reactiveoils break down over time, and canactually contribute to a garden inthe form of organic matter. So if it’spoison ivy that’s keeping you fromenjoying your lawn, garden orwoodlot, then know that you don’talways have to “leave them be” —just go prepared.

The 24th annual Kay McDanielSummer Tennis Clinic wasanother smashing hit. The popu-lar tennis event had more than400 registered participants thisyear — the most in the history ofthe event.

The week was filled with freetennis lessons, prizes, certifi-cates, group photos, and specialmedals. Kids ages 6 to 13 camefrom 25 cities in Tennessee andGeorgia to learn from director KayMcDaniel and her staff of 45instructors.

Her mothersewed all her tennis clothes untilage 15 when top sponsors, suchas Fila, Adidas, TAIL and Nikesponsored her tennis career. Anearly setback was the death of hertennis coach, and later an injurythreatened her pro career until,she said, God miraculouslyhealed the injury.

McDaniel realized her dream bycompeting at tennis Grand Slamsfor six years against legendaryplayers such as Billie Jean King,Martina Navratilova, Chris Evertand Steffi Graf. She rose to thetop 35 in the world in singles andheld a No. 20 world ranking indoubles.

This year’s clinic verse wasExodus 6:7: “I’ll take you as myown people and be God to you,”with a theme of “Enter the faithzone, not the safe zone.”

“The kids were so excited allweek, and it was a delight toteach them not only the game oftennis but the love God has forthem,” said McDaniel.

“My instructors were phenome-nal. I had about seven instructorsper court and they kept the kidsmoving and learning. Their hardwork, passion for my clinics, andlove for these kids deeply touch

Court allows hotly disputed discount contact lens price lawSALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A fed-

eral appeals court ruling hascleared the way for discount con-tact lens retailers to drop priceswhile a legal battle is wagedbetween the state of Utah andmanufacturers who want toimpose minimum prices on theirproducts.

The decision handed downfrom the 10th Circuit Court ofAppeals in Denver on Fridaycomes after three of the nation’slargest contact lens manufactur-ers sued to halt a hotly contestedlaw.

Supporters, including Utah-based discount seller 1-800

Contacts, say the newly enactedlegislation bans price fixing forcontact lenses. But opponents,including Alcon Laboratories,Johnson & Johnson and Bausch& Lomb, say it’s a brazen over-reach that allows discount sellersto violate interstate commerceregulations and skirt industryprice standards.

Utah’s attorney general hassaid the companies are wronglydriving up prices, and the law isa legitimate antitrust measuredesigned to enhance competitionand help customers. AttorneyGeneral Sean Reyes’ office didn’thave a comment on the decision

Friday.The ruling allows the law to go

into effect while a legal battleover the measure works its waythrough the courts. The appealscourt did agree to fast-track thecase and new briefs are due inthe case later this month.

Donna Lorenson, a spokes-woman for Alcon, says the com-pany is “extremely disappointed”and maintains the law violatesinterstate commerce rules.

Johnson & Johnson spokes-woman Carol Goodrich says thecompany is moving ahead withthe appeal and the minimumprices are legal.

Small town residents have mixed feelings on No. 1 beach rank

WAIMANALO, Hawaii (AP) —Many small-town residentswould get a kick out of theircommunities being recognizedlike Waimanalo recently waswhen one of its beaches wasranked No. 1 in the U.S. Buthere, pride was mixed withapprehension about visitors.

“My first reaction was ‘oh no,’”said Dean Okimoto, founder ofNalo Farms. “It is beautiful andeverything, but yeah, I wasthinking OK weekends — mygoodness.”

Just 4.35 square miles onOahu’s windward coast, about65 percent of people inWaimanalo are Native Hawaiian— the second-highest concen-tration on the island. There’s ascattering of businesses, somehorse stables and farms, onesupermarket and a main high-way with one lane in each direc-tion that’s become increasinglycongested over the past decade.

Waimanalo Bay Beach Park —with its powdery sand, turquoisewater, cleanliness and conven-ient amenities — was named thebest beach last month on anannual top 10 list compiled by acoastal science professor knownas Dr. Beach. And some say thenumber of visitors has alreadypicked up.

Stephen Leatherman, whoteaches at Florida InternationalUniversity, said he was worriedabout the reaction to his list.“It’s kind of small, Hawaiianlocals mostly live there,” he said.“People will say, ‘oh this is oursecret beach.’”

Sure enough, placingWaimanalo Bay in the top spotled to the most hate mail he’sreceived. “You know what you’redoing? You’re messing up thisbeautiful Hawaiian place,” hesaid was the sentiment of abouta dozen angry emails.

“It’s a beautiful place— wewant to tell everyone about it.But how do we retain the small-

town feel and culture ofWaimanalo that’s so rooted inNative Hawaiian culture andpractices,” said Randi Song,spokeswoman for the WaimanaloHealth Center, in summing upthe range of emotions felt by thebeach distinction.

Beach visitors increased with-in a few days of the list’s release,lifeguard David Loganbill said.“It was an immediate impact, forsure,” he said. “People eventelling us, ‘We heard this is theNo. 1 beach in the nation.’ Theycame looking for it.” He esti-mates that weekday visits to thebeach have doubled.

Beaches that make it to thetop spot typically see tourismincrease by 10 to 20 percent,Leatherman said.

Some Waimanalo residentsare banking on that.

Keoki Emond, owner of OnoSteaks and Shrimp Shack, ishopeful the Dr. Beach list will dofor Waimanalo what it did forKailua, which saw an increase inbusiness when it made the topspot in 1998. Emond, who isNative Hawaiian and a lifelongWaimanalo resident, knows thatnot everyone sees that as a goodthing. Change has been comingto Waimanalo despite the list, hesaid.

“You can’t stop the growth, nomatter what we try to do,” hesaid, adding that Waimanalo’ssmall size will prevent overdevel-opment.

The restaurant started out asa lunch wagon, with customersbeing 75 percent local. Now it’san even mix of tourists andlocals. “The local people willmake business last, but thetourists make business boom,”he said.

Sunya Nardo doesn’t want tosee Waimanalo turn into Kailua.

“Not that long ago they werethe No. 1 beach and they gotbombarded with tourists,” shesaid, watching from her front

yard as tour busses whizzedalong Kalanianaole Highway.“Waimanalo is country. We justwant to leave it like that.”

Waimanalo NeighborhoodBoard Chairman Wilson Hojoked about telling outsiders,“the people are terrible, thewater is not so good.” But thetruth is, “all our lives, we knewthis was the most amazingbeach,” said Ho, who lives onHawaiian homestead landacross Waimanalo Beach Park.“It is what it is. It’s nothing youcan push away.”

There’s concern thatWaimanalo’s size can’t accom-modate an increase in tourists.Even before the list came out,there were instances of tourbuses pulling into the tinyhealth center’s lot, taking uppatient stalls to marvel at nativeplants, Song said. Busloads oftourists taking pictures alongthe highway’s median can bedangerous for them, and life-guards might become over-whelmed by visitors unfamiliarwith the power of the ocean, saidWaimanalo resident LouanaKassebeer, whose family haslived on a Hawaiian homesteadlot for five generations.

But Kassebeer said the con-cerns shouldn’t depriveWaimanalo of its rightful spot atthe top of the beach list.

“I felt so proud,” she said.“The beach made me what I amtoday. ... My front yard was thebeach and the Koolau moun-tains was my backyard.”

For her, it’s more than a recre-ation spot —it’s a place to gofishing or scatter ashes of lovedones.

“It just has this soothingview,” she said. “All you see isblue. It just humbles you.”

Cleveland nativeappointed to leadlargest CAP region

PEACHTREE CITY, GA. — Infront of a crowd of over 200guests, Col. G. Barry Melton firm-ly grasped the flag staff held outin front of him bearing the CivilAir Patrol Southeast Region’sColors.

In speaking the words “I acceptcommand,” Melton began a jour-ney of leading CAP SoutheastRegion that follows in the foot-steps of the 19 commanders whohave preceded him since 1948.

Following the change of com-mand ceremony, Melton steppedto the podium and addressed themembers for the first time asregion commander.

“I plan to continue the traditionfor the pursuit of excellence thathas been established by my pred-ecessors,” said Melton.

“Southeast Region maintainsthe highest operation tempo of allthe CAP Regions and it is impor-tant that we accomplish our mis-sion in a safe and effective man-ner.”

Melton is a Cleveland nativeand graduate of MiddleTennessee State University inMurfreesboro. He earned hisbachelor’s degree in recordingindustry management at MTSUfollowed by his master’s degreefrom Regent University in VirginiaBeach, V., for television produc-tion and programing.

The formal change of commandceremony, a longstanding mili-tary tradition, was conductedduring the evening banquet atthe annual region conferenceheld on June 6 in Georgia.

CAP National Commander,Maj. Gen. Joseph Vazquez,selected Melton to replace outgo-ing SER commander, Col. Alvin J.Bedgood, who has led the Regionsince 2011.

Bedgood said, “SoutheastRegion is the largest CAP Regionin terms of membership andplays a leading role with manyCAP programs. It has been anhonor to lead the Region and itsmembers. We have made greatstrides in improving our steward-ship over the resources entrusted

to us by U.S. Air Force and theAmerican people. I am confidentthat going forward, the CAPSoutheast Region is in capablehands under the leadership ofCol. Melton.”

Prior to accepting the role ofregion commander, Melton servedas Southeast region vice com-mander. His responsibilitiesinvolved overseeing CAP activityacross the large operations area.He joined CAP in 1986 as a char-ter member of the ClevelandComposite Squadron. His distin-guished CAP career includesleadership assignments at virtu-ally all levels of the CAP organiza-tion including service as aNational Board member andTennessee wing commander.

Melton said one of his goals asincoming commander is to ensurethat tactical operations workcooperatively between Wings.

“With the geographic diversitywe have in the region, it is vitalthat we can coordinate effortsalong state borders and betweenCAP regions.”

Southeast Region is comprised

of more than 9,000 members andis one of eight that comprise theCivil Air Patrol. The SoutheastRegion includes the states ofAlabama, Florida, Georgia,Mississippi and Tennessee, aswell as the Commonwealth ofPuerto Rico and United StatesVirgin Islands.

Iowa Supreme Court affirmsright to be drunk on front porch

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — TheIowa Supreme Court hasaffirmed the right to be drunk onyour front porch.

The court ruled Friday in thecase of Patience Paye, whoappealed her 2013 public intoxi-cation conviction.

Paye called police after fightingwith her boyfriend and met offi-cers on the front porch of herWaterloo home. While investigat-

ing the domestic assault com-plaint an officer questioned Payeabout whether she’d been drink-ing.

A test revealed her blood alco-hol concentration at 0.267 per-cent, more than three times theamount considered drunk fordriving.

She was charged and convict-ed. But she appealed, saying herfront porch isn’t a public place.

Land Betweenthe Lakes logging plan criticized

GILBERTSVILLE, Ky. (AP) —U.S. Forest Service representa-tives and local residents are in dis-agreement over how to best pre-serve the Land Between the LakesNational Recreation Area.

Residents criticized the ForestService’s plans during a publicmeeting in Gilbertsville onThursday night, The Paducah Sunreports.

The Forest Service, which man-ages the 170,000-acre area, sayspractices such as logging andburning should be used to convertsome of the area’s regions intomore open, savanna-like grass-lands, also referred to as pre-European landscapes.

But many local residents saythey want logging and burning tostop. They say they would preferthe agency improve roads, trailsand other regional attractionsinstead.

Other residents favor some landmanagement but want the ForestService to change its approach tothe area.

Land Between the Lakesspokeswoman Jan Bush said thehearings are being held to improvecommunication with residents. InApril, after several months of pub-lic outcry, the Forest Service tem-porarily halted new timber salesprojects on the land.

Lyon County Judge-ExecutiveWade White, who has spearheadedthe campaign to halt the loggingand burning plans, said the ForestService had been using differentterminology and confusing thepublic on the issue of landscapechange.

Responding to White’s questionof whether the Forest Service is infact proposing to create landscapechange, the agency’s area supervi-sor Tina Tilley confirmed thatnotion and said the agency couldhave used clearer language to bet-ter communicate its plans.

The youngest person to speak atThursday’s meeting was a 12-year-old girl named Daily, whobroke into tears before she couldfinish her prepared remarks.

“I love exploring and being deepinside the forest,” she said. “Oneday I hope to bring my childrenhere.”

A second meeting on the issueis scheduled for June 16 in Dover.

Police: Woman reports

drug deal rip-off,

ends up charged

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP)— Authorities say a South Floridawoman who called 911 to reportthat she was getting stiffed in adrug deal ended up reporting onherself: She now faces chargesincluding drug possession.

The Broward Sheriff’s Officereports that 19-year-old DaneshiaHeller told a 911 operator Tuesdaythat she went to a Fort Lauderdalehome to buy marijuana, but aman there took her $5 without giv-ing her the drugs.

Officials say a deputy checked awhite substance in Heller’s pock-et, which tested positive for alpha-PVP, a psychosis-inducing streetdrug known as flakka.

The South Florida Sun Sentinelreports that Heller was chargedwith drug possession and misus-ing the 911 system.

ing to his assessment ofGillespie.

“I think his game is basicallytrying to perpetuate the search,”Mellon said in a telephone inter-view. “It’s a business for him ...even though he calls it a charity.”

Now Mellon has filed a com-plaint with the IRS, claiming thatTIGHAR has no independentoversight on the salary Gillespiedraws and, thus, violates non-profit guidelines. Already, publicrecords show Gillespie has a taxdelinquency in the state ofDelaware for more than $55,000— an amount Thrasher says theyare working to pay back after get-ting into debt while paying for adefense in the Mellon lawsuit.

Gillespie, meanwhile, says thecomplaint to the IRS is unfound-ed and calls it “the pique of apissed off millionaire.”

Dismissing his critics, headds, “Amelia inspires passion. Iunderstand that ... But my skingot thick a long time ago.”

This year, TIGHAR received itslargest evergrant —$100,000 forthis currentexpedition —from a “majorf o u n d a t i o nthat wishes toremain anony-mous,” hesays. Over theyears, thegroup has hadlarger dona-

tions from indi-viduals, Mellon included.

“People really want thiswoman found,” Gillespie says.

Robin Jensen, an associateprofessor of communication atthe University of Utah, tries toexplain the enduring curiosity.

“It seems very stark and sadand unfair to just be gone. Wewant something better thanthat,” says Jensen, who studiedEarhart when she was at PurdueUniversity, where Earhart was onfaculty.

As for Gillespie, his fascinationwas a while in coming.

The son of a decorated WorldWar II bomber pilot, the 68-year-old says, “There was never anyquestion that I was going to fly.”

As soon as he was old enough,he got his pilot’s license andworked his way through collegeby flying charters and ferrying,washing and pumping gas intoairplanes at a local airport.

Gillespie graduated from theState University of New York atOswego with a history degree in

1969, during the Vietnam War.Since he wore contact lenses, hecouldn’t fly in the military, hesays. Instead, he enrolled in anArmy officer training programand served with the 1st CavalryDivision at Fort Hood, Texas.

In 1971, while attending an airrace in New Jersey, he watchedfrom the grandstand as WW IIvintage training airplanes collid-ed, killing four of his pilotfriends. Witnessing the accidentmade him ask himself, “Whatcan I do to help?’”

After the Army, he worked foran insurance company that pro-vided coverage for small air-planes and airports — and didaccident investigation.

“I loved it, the detective work,connecting the dots, figuring outwhat really happened,” he says.

Personal setbacks followed,including a divorce and bank-ruptcy.

Then with a $35,000 loan froma former insurance client whoran a small airport in Delaware,Gillespie pursued an idea he’dhad for some time. He wanted tostart an organization and searchfor the long missing “White Bird,”a biplane flown by French pilotsCharles Nungesser and FrancoisColi, who went down after leavingParis in May 1927 attempting thefirst east-to-west transatlanticflight. American CharlesLindbergh made his successfulflight in the opposite directiondays later.

Gillespie and his new wife, Pat,applied for nonprofit status in1986 and started TIGHAR.

They headed to Maine to inves-tigate local folklore about a planethat had supposedly crashed in aremote forest on the same daythe White Bird disappeared.“Even though we didn’t find any-thing, I was hooked,” Gillespiesays.

That search led to the repeatedquestion, “When are you goingafter Amelia?”

It seemed an impossiblerequest.

In Earhart’s last radio trans-mission to the USS Itasca, theCoast Guard cutter stationed offHowland to help her and Noonanfind the island, she was said tohave sounded desperate as shestated that they were flying “online 157/337,” a route that somebelieve put them northwest ofHowland with no other place toland. Low clouds blocked theirview and they were running lowon fuel, she reported.

Then her transmissions to theship stopped.

Back then, Gillespie thoughtthe crashed-and-sank explana-tion seemed plausible enough.

Then a couple of retired mili-tary navigators who wereTIGHAR members came to seehim with another theory. What ifthe plane had been on that linesouthwest of Howland — a linethat went right by GardnerIsland, now Nikumaroro?

As he and his team beganinvestigating, Gillespie becamecaptivated with two factors that,to this day, he sees as indis-putable (though others disagree).

The first are the distress callsheard on shortwave radio in the

days after Earhart’s plane disap-peared. Though many have dis-missed the radio calls as hoaxes,Gillespie and his team deemed57 of them “credible.” They’vecompared dates and times of thecalls with tidal patterns, since —according to his theory —Earhart and Noonan could onlyhave returned to the plane on thereef at low tide to start the engineand run the radio. Gillespie hasbeen particularly intrigued withhand-written notes of distresscalls picked up by shortwave sig-nal by Betty Klenck, then a 15-year-old in St. Petersburg,Florida.

OXFORD, Pa. (AP) — RicGillespie tells a story well. Heknows how to get peopleintrigued and, in some cases, topersuade them to give himmoney, not unlike the legendarypilot for whom he’s spent muchof his life searching — AmeliaEarhart.

At first, the man who looks abit like a weather-worn sea cap-tain balks at the oft-repeatednotion that his ability to charm,and maybe even his time on stagein high school, helped get himwhere he is. Then, Gillespieshrugs and capitulates, with aslight smile.

“No apologies for my charisma.I put it, I hope, to very good use,”he says, sitting on the back porchof the old farmhouse in ruralPennsylvania that is both hishome and office of the organiza-tion he and his wife, PatThrasher, co-founded — TheInternational Group for HistoricAircraft Recovery, or TIGHAR.

The group’s mission — and hislife’s goal for more than 25 years— has been to solve the mysteryof Earhart and her navigator,Fred Noonan, who disappeared inthe South Pacific on July 2,1937, during what was supposedto be a round-the-world flight.

The longstanding official theo-ry is that the plane ran out ofgas, crashed and sank into verydeep ocean waters somewhere offHowland Island, a tiny speck thatthe pair missed.

Since 1989, Gillespie and histeam have been testing anothertheory — and they’re headedback to the South Pacific thismonth. They surmise thatEarhart made an emergencylanding on a flat stretch of coralreef off what was then known asGardner Island, southwest ofHowland. Gillespie and membersof TIGHAR have made severaltreks to the distant atoll, nowcalled Nikumaroro. To do so, andto keep the organization running,they have raised millions of dol-lars in private funding.

Gillespie and his team left forthe island this past week, on aboat from Fiji, and were sched-uled to arrive this weekend.Among other things, they want tocheck an anomaly seen in sonarimaging on an underwater cliffwhere the reef drops off.

Could it be the fuselage ofEarhart’s Lockheed Electra 10Eairplane?

Gillespie makes no promises:“There’s no guarantee of suc-cess.”

He’s far from the only personwith an idea about Earhart’s fate.

An Australian researcherthinks wreckage spotted bymembers of his country’s militaryyears ago deep in the remotemountains of a Papua NewGuinea island could be Earhart’s.Others are investigating localisland lore that Earhart andNoonan crash landed on MiliAtoll, 800 miles northwest ofHowland, and were taken prison-er by the Japanese and trans-ported to the island of Saipan,where they died in captivity.

Various teams who believe thecrashed-and-sank theory —anexplanation supported by cura-tors at the Smithsonian’s Air andSpace Museum — have tried topinpoint the crash location usingsophisticated equipment to scan

the ocean floor and employingcomputer models, based on thestrength of Earhart’s radio trans-missions. No one has found averified plane part or bone frag-ment.

But Gillespie — whose confi-dent, sometimes brash style hasmade him a lightning rod amongsearchers — says he and histeam are building their case,slowly but surely.

He has his admirers. In 2012,then Secretary of State HillaryClinton recognized Gillespie at areception honoring Earhart. Aphoto of them together hangs onhis office wall, along with aframed letter in which she said,“This great adventure embodiesthe very hope, ingenuity andboundless optimism of theAmerican spirit.” It’s a referenceto the expedition that year inwhich TIGHAR made underwatersonar images that include theone with the anomaly beingexamined this month.

But others question Gillespie’sfindings and even his motives.

There was the filing cabinetdiscovered on Nikumaroro thatthe team thought came fromEarhart’s plane but later linkedto a military plane. The team alsoexcavated a grave that turned upbones, not of the famous pilot butof a tiny infant.

Over the years, Gillespie andhis team have found other itemsin what they think is an old cast-away camp. These, they say,aren’t as easily explained — heelfragments from a woman’s shoe;a rusted jack knife; fragments oftoiletry bottles and a compactand other items that they believeare from the 1930s. Their ownexpert’s high-tech analysis of anobject in an old photograph of theisland determined it could beLockheed landing gear juttingfrom the reefbefore beingwashed away,they say.

None of it isdefinitive proof,they realize.

“We havecompiled a pre-ponderance ofevidence sug-gesting — notproving — thatour hypothesisis true,” saysTom King, an archaeologist andlongtime TIGHAR member whohas helped lead many of theexpeditions.

Critics say items found on theisland are more likely remnantsof an old Coast Guard station orislanders who settled onNikumaroro in the years afterEarhart’s disappearance until themid-1960s. Some insist thatGillespie has found nothingremotely tied to Earhart.

Then there’s Tim Mellon, aone-time supporter but now acritic, who thinks quite the oppo-site — that Gillespie knows morethan he reveals. Two years ago,Mellon, a wealthy donor whojoined TIGHAR’s 2012 expedi-tion, accused Gillespie in anunsuccessful lawsuit of hidingthe fact that he’d found Earhart’splane so Mellon would donatemore than $1 million worth ofstock to help fund that expedi-tion. A judge rejected Mellon’sappeal last month, but he’s stick-

Searching for Earhart

Despite doubters, RicGillespie continues quest

Ric GillesPie, who heads The International Group for HistoricAircraft Recovery, holds a piece of metal at his home office in Oxford,Pa. The artifact is one of the more controversial finds from TIGHARexpeditions to the island of Nikumaroro in the South Pacific. Thegroup has spent years in search of any sign of Amelia Earhart andher navigator, Fred Noonan, on the island. After the metal was foundin the early 1990s, Gillespie claimed it was from Earhart’s LockheedElectra from her attempt at an around-the-world flight. Experts havevarying opinions about whether the metal could be from the plane.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A pocketwatch that stopped at 8:15 a.m.when the first atomic bombdropped. A sprawling picture oftwisted bodies and screamingfaces engulfed by the flames. Theschool lunch box of a girl whodisappeared without trace.

As the 70th anniversary of theend of World War II approaches,American University Museum inWashington is showcasing arti-facts and art recalling the bomb-ings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

At a time of intensifying focuson Japan’s reluctance face up toits militaristic past, the exhibi-tion provides a different perspec-tive on the end of the conflict —one in which Japanese were thevictims.

That has the potential to upsetAmerican veterans. Defenders ofthe use of the atomic bomb say italleviated the need for a landinvasion of Japan that wouldhave cost many American lives.The precise death tolls from thebombings are unknown, but it isbelieved about 200,000 peoplewere killed.

On the 50th anniversary of thebombings, a fierce controversysurrounded an exhibit at theSmithsonian Institution of theEnola Gay, the B-29 thatdropped the bomb on Hiroshima,Aug. 6, 1945. The 1995 exhibitwas dramatically scaled backbecause of veterans’ proteststhat it portrayed the Japanese asvictims rather than as aggres-sors.

That year, Peter Kuznick,director of the university’sNuclear Studies Institute,

responded to the controversy bystaging an exhibition of artifactsthe Smithsonian wouldn’t. Doingso at a private institution, andnot a government-funded one,made it less contentious.

He’s reprising that effort, 20years on, with a display thatopens Saturday and runs untilAug. 16. It includes six pictureson folding screens by the late Iriand Toshi Maruki, a husbandand wife whose powerful depic-tions of nuclear horrors, knownas the Hiroshima Panels, arebeing shown in the U.S. capitalfor the first time.

In an adjacent room are 25artifacts collected from thedebris, among them a rosary, aglass fragment removed from theflesh of a casualty, container ofsake, a student’s cap and a stu-dent’s shoe. The HiroshimaPeace Memorial Museum and theNagasaki Atomic Bomb Museumhave also provided an explanato-ry account of the bombings withgraphic photos, such as panora-mas of the two levelledcityscapes, and wrenching

images of the victims.Kuznick said the primary aim

of the exhibition is to portray thehuman suffering caused by theatomic bombings that ushered inan era in which absolutedestruction of the planet becamepossible and “nobody’s future isguaranteed anymore.”

He lamented that Americans —including undergraduates heteaches — have become lessaware since the end of the ColdWar about the devastatingimpact a nuclear conflict wouldhave, although the rivalrybetween India and Pakistan, andthe stand-off between the UnitedStates and Russia over Ukraine,mean the risk persists.

“Part of why we doing this isbecause the danger has not real-ly passed, and it’s important thatpeople focus on it again,” he said.

The exhibition shows not onlyJapanese suffering. Two of theHiroshima Panels on display por-tray the death of American pris-oners of war and Korean forcedlaborers in the bombings. Mosthaunting is “Crows,” a picture in

black ink which depicts birdspicking at the corpses ofKoreans, reflecting the discrimi-nation they faced even in death.The picture’s caption, a versepenned by the artists, says theKorean bodies “were left on thestreets to the very last.”

“Not only are we portraying theJapanese as victims, we’re alsoportraying the Japanese as vic-timizers. That in no way miti-gates the American responsibilityfor using atomic bombs but itdoes complicate the narrative alittle bit,” said Kuznick.

Jan Thompson, president ofthe American Defenders ofBataan & Corregidor MemorialSociety, which advocates forAmerican former prisoners ofwar of the Japanese, said atomicbombs were a tragedy that noone should celebrate. She saidshe has not seen the exhibitionyet but was concerned it wouldpromote the view that that use ofthe bombs was not justified.

“Virtually all of our formerPOWs believe they would havebeen executed, and that Japanand the United States wouldhave suffered even greater catas-trophes, if the war had not beenshortened by the use of atomicweapons,” said Thompson.“Weapons and war can only beunderstood in their political and

“It reads like a 911 call,” saysGillespie, who has put scans ofher notebook on TIGHAR’s web-site.

The second indisputablepoint, Gillespie says, is a pur-ported castaway camp on theisland — though others arguethat it could have been made bythe crew of the SS Norwich City,a ship that ran aground on theisland.

There are other puzzle pieces,Gillespie says.

He says his team uncovered afile in England that containedmeasurements of bones foundon Nikumaroro and taken to Fijiyears ago. The bones themselvesare missing, but an originalassessment of them — that theybelonged to a short man, per-haps of mixed race — is disputedby modern experts who say theycould have belonged to a womanof European descent, Gillespiesays.

One of TIGHAR’s more contro-versial finds is a piece of metal,likely from an airplane, that theteam found at Nikumaroro in theearly 1990s. First, Gillespie theo-rized that it could be part ofEarhart’s plane’s belly. At a 1992news conference, he proclaimedthat his team had “recoveredartifacts that conclusively provethis case.” Several experts cameforward to dispute that.

Critics also dispute his currentclaim that the metal fragmentcould be the patch that covered awindow on Earhart’s plane. Theysay a stamp on the metal puts itsdate of manufacture after 1937,though Gillespie has at least onenotable supporter.

“In my opinion, you have avery interesting artifact, and if I

had to vote today with all that Iknow, I would say it is the realthing,” wrote Thomas Eagar, aprofessor of materials engineer-ing and engineering systems atthe Massachusetts Institute ofTechnology, in a letter toGillespie. Contacted by the AP,Eagar said he stood by thatstatement.

And so, the search continues.The TIGHAR team flew to Fiji

on June 6 and later boarded aship for a five-day journey toNikumaroro. They plan to be onthe island two weeks, with oneteam using unmanned underwa-ter exploration robots to scanthe reef cliff, while a land teamsearches for more clues.

“They may find her on thistrip, but I think the odds arehuge against it,” says TomCrouch, a senior curator in theaeronautics department at theSmithsonian’s National Air andSpace Museum. He considersGillespie a friend and thinkshe’s done good work on the his-toric aircraft preservationfront.

“We’ve argued about this stufffor 30 years.,” Crouch says. “Ijust don’t think he knows whereAmelia wound up. That’s all.

“But,” he adds, “I could bewrong.”

2 girls told to close lemonade stand for lack of permit

OVERTON, Texas (AP) — TwoTexas girls whose lemonadestand was shut down becausethey lacked a permit will insteadoffer the drink for free.

Television station KLTVreports that 8-year-old AndriaGreen and her 7-year-old sister,Zoey, will take only donations forlemonade Saturday in Overton,about 120 miles east of Dallas.

A police officer on Mondayapproached the stand, whichoffered lemonade for 50 cents

and “kettle korn” for $1.In patrol-car video, the officer

can be heard asking the girls’mother, Sandi Evans, for a per-mit. She says she wasn’t awarethey needed one.

A family friend went to CityHall to get one. Authoritieswaived the $150 fee, but saidhealth department officials need-ed to inspect the stand.

Overton’s police chief sayspolice must follow state healthguidelines.

Saving money on homeownersinsurance can often take a backseat.

Many homebuyers fail to com-parison shop for the best poli-cies, potentially missing out on abetter deal elsewhere.

That means some may sign offon a policy that leaves them pay-ing for more coverage than nec-essary to rebuild their home, orwith too little coverage forantique furniture and other valu-ables.

“A lot of people go to one agentand they say ‘I’ve shopped,’” saidBob Hunter, director of insur-ance at the Consumer Federationof America. But there’s no guar-antee the agent will connect ahomeowner with the most afford-able insurance carrier, Hunteradded.

Striking a balance betweenbuying enough insurance to pro-tect perhaps your biggest assetand keeping costs in check is fea-sible. Here are 4 steps you cantake toward that goal.

1. BREAK IT DOWN

The first step to identifyingpossible savings is to understandhow the typical homeownersinsurance policy is set up.

Take a single-family housewithout any other structures onthe property. Generally, a policyfor such a home will have threemain coverage areas: the struc-ture, the owner’s personalbelongings and liability againstsomeone being injured on theproperty.

If the homeowner is paying offa mortgage on the home, thelender will require they carryinsurance to cover the costs to

fully rebuild the house. This willtypically be the most costly com-ponent of the policy. Keep inmind that you’re only paying tocover replacement costs for thestructure, not to recoup the mar-ket value of the home and landit’s built upon.

The second coverage areainvolves personal belongingssuch as furniture, housewaresand rugs. Certain items, such asjewelry, a stamp collection andfirearms, among others, will havecoverage caps.

Another big component ofhomeowners insurance is liabili-ty coverage. This is meant toshield you should you be sued bysomeone who gets hurt on yourproperty.

Beyond these categories, ahomeowners policy can incorpo-rate coverage for a host of otherrisks, or add-ons for coverageabove caps.

Your costs will also depend onwhat part of the country you livein, the projected expenses torebuild your home, how muchcoverage you purchase and yourdeductible, among other factors.

2. SIZE UP COVERAGE

NEEDS

Your insurance costs dependlargely on how much coverageyou buy or are willing to do with-out.

Your insurance company willcome up with the amount of cov-erage needed to fully replace yourhouse and recommend youinsure it for that amount.

Because construction costs arealways changing it’s a good ideato review your policy annually tomake sure your coverage hasn’tfallen below 80 percent of thecost to replace your home, sug-gests the National Association ofInsurance Commissioners.

Homeowners get more leewayto select how much insurancethey want to gird against liabilityand personal property losses.The less coverage, the more yousave on premiums.

A detailed inventory of yourbelongings will help you deter-mine how much coverage youneed for your personal belong-ings. And if you need to buy addi-tional protection beyond any pol-icy caps.

“We don’t want to think ofinsurance as a maintenance pol-icy. It’s really meant for the big-ger things that would really dev-astate us financially,” said Laura

Adams, senior insurance analystat Insurancequotes.com, aninsurance comparison website.“We really need to weigh that pre-mium against that potentialclaim.”

The NAIC has some guidelinesfor conducting an inventory anda worksheet here:http://www.insureuonline.org/insureu-getready-newhome.htm .

3. SHOP AROUND

Many homeowners reach outto an insurance agent who rec-ommends one or more insurers.Another option is to search yourstate insurance department web-site. It will typically list pricinginformation for the biggest insur-ers.

When discerning which is thelowest-cost policy, make sureyou’re comparing the same cov-erage from carrier to carrier.

Hunter of the ConsumerFederation of America also rec-ommends finding a handful ofthe lower-cost carriers and thennarrow them down further bychecking their track record ofconsumer complaints on theNAIC website,https://eapps.naic.org/cis/ .

“You don’t necessarily need totalk to an agent,” Hunter said.“You can start by talking to aninsurance company directly.”

Even after you’ve been in yourhome a few years it pays to getquotes from other insurers anduse it as a bargaining chip withyour insurer to give you a betterdeal.

4. CONSIDER A HIGHER

DEDUCTIBLE

A recent study byInsurancequotes.com found thatraising the homeowners insur-ance deductible to $2,000 from$500 can lower the annual pre-mium in the U.S. by 16 percent,on average.

A deductible is the portion thatis paid by the homeowner on aclaim before the insurance policykicks in. Still, don’t raise yourdeductible unless you haveenough money saved to cover itin the event you have to file aclaim.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Federalregulators are going after peo-ple who raise money onlinethrough crowdfunding sites likeKickstarter and GoFundMe butdon’t follow through on theirpromises.

In its first case involvingcrowdfunding, the FederalTrade Commission announcedThursday that it has settledcharges against a man whoraised $122,000 throughKickstarter to produce a boardgame that never materialized.According to the FTC, ErikChevalier canceled the projectand said he would refund the

donations, but used the moneyinstead to pay his rent andmove.

Crowdfunding has become apopular way to donate moneydirectly to someone in need,from independent filmmakersto do-gooders. The donationsare often small, ranging from acouple bucks to a couple thou-sand dollars.

In one case in Los Angeles, aman’s crowdfunding campaignreceived $60,000 in less than amonth after posting a YouTubevideo showing how he built atiny, $500 wooden house onwheels for a homeless woman

in his neighborhood. In anothercase, a Maine man who wantedto donate his kidney to astranger after seeing a sign in acar window raised $49,000 todefray medical costs.

While this week’s FTC settle-ment is a warning to onlinescammers, it also reveals thelimits to which the governmentcan protect consumers:Chevalier has been ordered torepay the money, but the judg-ment is suspended because hedoesn’t have any. Otherwise,the settlement prohibits himfrom lying about future crowd-funding campaigns.

“Many consumers enjoy theopportunity to take part in thedevelopment of a product orservice through crowdfunding,and they generally know there’ssome uncertainty involved inhelping start something new,”said Jessica Rich, director ofthe FTC’s bureau of consumerprotection. “But consumersshould able to trust theirmoney will actually be spent onthe project they funded.”

Chevalier did not respond torequests for comment by tele-phone or email.

historical contexts.”Kuznick said he’s faced no

opposition so far to this year’sexhibition. The opening will beattended by two Japanese sur-vivors of the bombings.

But a June 23 seminar associ-ated with the exhibition that willdiscuss President HarryTruman’s decision to use thebomb and its historical implica-tions could raise hackles.Panelists include prominent his-torians, including Kuznick, who

question whether the UnitedStates needed to do so to end thewar with Japan, and whether itwas intended as a warning to theSoviet Union, a wartime ally thatwould emerge as a rival super-power.

Yoshiko Hayakawa, who hasbrought the Hiroshima Panelsfrom the Maruki Gallery outsideTokyo, said it had been difficultto find a gallery or museum will-ing or able to display them in theUnited States. They were last

shown in the U.S. in 1995, inMinnesota, and she spent morethan four years trying to bringthem again to America.

“I really want the Americanpeople to see the panels. They goright to the heart of people whowish for long-lasting peace andfor a ban on nuclear weapons,”she said.

Black film festival shifts focus to the WebNEW YORK (AP) — As scrutiny

continues over diversity in film andopportunities for AfricanAmericans in Hollywood, someblack actors and producers arelooking to another avenue wherethey see growth — the Web.

Success stories like Issa Rae,whose “Awkward Black Girl”Internet comedy series was so suc-cessful she received a developmentdeal with HBO, have opened the

door for others who may havefound more traditional avenues inHollywood closed. So as theAmerican Black Film Festivalopened in New York this week forits 19th year, it has turned its focusto the Web.

“Degrassi” star Andrea Lewis isamong those finding more expo-sure on the Internet. Used to beingthe only black person on set, whenLewis was not getting the roles she

wanted, she decided not going towait.

“Instead of wondering where thenext opportunity can come, I said, ‘Iam going to come up with it and doit myself,’” Lewis said.

She took to the Web with hercomedy series “Black Actress,”sharing the narrative of blackwomen trying to make it in theindustry. The 10- to 20-minuteepisodes include the storyline of ayoung women going on auditions,woven in with real-life interviewsfrom actresses such as Tatyana Aliand “Powers’” Naturi Naughton.They discuss the lack of significantroles offered, and the struggle tolive creatively.

Lewis said she created “BlackActress” after she was introducedas the “urban one” by a cast mem-ber.

“I was seen as the black one onthe set, not as a peer or anotheractor who is trying to work,” shesaid. “It was an uncomfortableexperience for me and also for theothers who were there.”

Now Lewis is writing, producingand acting on her own terms. Sheis working on three other Webseries and a feature film withJungle Wild Productions.

For her, the Internet offers “cre-ative freedom and there is no gate-keeper on what you can put outwith your team.”

Her show is featured as a part ofthe festival’s “2015 Web Originals”panel. Other events at ABFF, whichruns until Sunday, include the NewYork premiere of “Dope” and a con-versation with ABFF ambassadorand “Empire” star Taraji P. Henson.

Jeff Friday, co-founder of theABFF, said using the Internet andsocial media is an easy way foryoung actors and producers to getthemselves out there and createcontent.

“You’ve got to try to take yourown destiny in your own hands andthere is no excuse now,” he said.

Rae, the creator and star of“Awkward Black Girl” and theHBO-ordered pilot “Insecure,” isjoining Andrea Lewis and the cre-ators of website BlackandSexy.tv,Numa Perrier and Dennis Dortch,for the panel “How to Create andMonetize a Successful Web Series.”

Rae said events like these areimportant at ABFF because “a lot ofpeople don’t know how to get start-ed and how to make money.”

Rae’s success comes after creat-ing multiple web series and pro-ducing other projects with her com-pany, Color Creative.

“I got into this industry initiallyas a fan and to be able to use myplatform to support other up-and-coming artists that I am a fan of.That’s an ideal situation for me,”she said.

Expand your investment portfolio with real estate(NewsUSA) — Don’t let con-

cerns about complexity keep youfrom the benefits of investing inreal estate.

The advantages of investmentproperties include rental income,value appreciation and equitygrowth, and locating, buying andmanaging property isn’t as com-plicated as most people imagine.

“Finding worthwhile invest-ment property shouldn’t be a dif-ficult or costly venture, especiallyin the current market,” saidPreston Despenas, co-founderand senior partner of GrowthEquity Group.

“In fact, there are many oppor-tunities for investors to use realestate to diversify a retirementportfolio and amass wealthtoday, but the best opportunitiesmight not be right in your back-yard,” he explained.

Considering a real estateinvestment, but not sure whereto start? Keep these points inmind:

Find the right marketReal estate may be local, but

the best opportunities might notbe local to you. Don’t rule outmarkets just because they’re out

of state.

Review key indicatorsConsider the current inventory

of property and whether theproperty values will rise or fall inthe future. Other factors includejob creation and its effect onlocal income levels and overalleconomic growth.

Maximize potential incomeRenting is rising in popularity,

and rental properties generateincome for the owner of the prop-erty, which is an important com-ponent of the overall return on

investment. When coupled with appreciat-

ing homes values, addingincome-producing real estatemay be an excellent choice forinvestors looking for a new wayto diversify a financial portfolio. I

n fact, real estate tends to beless correlated with the stockand bond markets and thus isless volatile when the marketexperiences wide swings.
