Airport Authority receives update on Jetport operations under FBO

By JOYANNA LOVEBanner Senior Staff Writer

Cleveland Municipal AirportAuthority members received anupdate on how things are goingwith the new fixed-base operatorand maintenance provider.

Corporate Flight Managementmoved into the ClevelandRegional Jetport 22 days ago andhas contracted with MontgomeryAero Enterprise for mainte-nance.

The maintenance hangar wasalready full of planes being serv-iced when the Airport Authoritytook a tour.

CFM president Allen Howellsaid the company hired twoemployees who had workedunder the previous FBO andhired two more employees.

“We have been very fortunatein hiring,” Howell said.

These four employees workunder FBO general managerNora Cole.

He said the terminal building“was in great shape,” but themaintenance hangar had neededsome work to get it ready for use.

Plans are also being made tooffer charter flight service bycontracting with base customersto have a charter fleet. A flightschool will also be established inthe next month or two.

“So far, so good, we are glad tobe here,” Howell said.

He estimated the companywould sell 300,000 gallons offuel over the next 12 months.

Jetport director of operationsMark Fidler gave a financialupdate for the Jetport, stating itfinished out the 2016 fiscal year“in the black” for the operatingbudget.

Despite this encouragement,the rest of the report from Fidlerheld some disappointment.

Having the Jetport designatedas an extension of theChattanooga Customs Port, inorder to have international

flights land at the jetport, is stillin the works.

“Today I am going toChattanooga to look at the facili-ty that they have over there, andtry to see what they havebecause the document they sentme is about impossible,” Fidlersaid. “We are moving ahead withit. We just need to know theaspects that they want.”

Fidler said there was an officein the terminal building thatthey could use initially. Therewas a spot for building a desig-nated hangar in the future.

“Essentially, the entire cost ofthis will be borne by us,” Fidlersaid.

“Or if smart, by the user[through fees],” authority mem-ber Lynn DeVault said.

Extension of the runway alsohit a small snag. A meeting todiscuss the project with statepersonnel had to be postponed

CPD trainsfor worst scenario


Recent incidents around thenation have not changed muchfor the Cleveland PoliceDepartment’s safety policiesbecause the procedures hadalready been updated in antici-pation of threats.

Cleveland Chief of Police MarkGibson said safety plans andpolicies are in place.

“The police in this departmenttrain and we equip them to dealwith threats, whether thosethreats are toward us or towardcitizens,” Gibson said.

He said training was increasedand intensified after ISIS andterrorist events on U.S. soil,such as last year’s shootings inChattanooga.

Equipment, such as bullet-resistant vests and AR 15-styleassault rifles only help so much.Gibson said training gives anadded layer of preparedness.

“For the last couple of years,we have really focused on thetraining and organization of ourSWAT teams. We work togetherwith the Sheriff’s Office andtheir SWAT team,” Gibson said.“SWAT team members are intraining at least twice a month.We encourage them to trainmore to deal with the threatsthat we may face in our commu-nity.”

Each local SWAT team trainsseparately, but there are somejoint trainings that are held.

When it comes to training, hesaid the department “has alwaysbeen forward thinking” withtraining updates “to prepare forthe worst event we could imaginepossible.”

“The main thing with our guysis we are sending them to thesehigher level schools,” Gibsonsaid.

By BRIAN GRAVESBanner Staff Writer

The thing about wrestling isyou may get pinned on onenight, but you get up and workharder to pin the other guy thenext.

That is the definition of howlocal businessman Allan Jonesfeels about the sport of wrestlingand the lessons he learned frombeing involved in the sport hasled him well through life andbusiness.

Because of that special con-nection, the Tennessee chapterof the National Wrestling Hall ofFame will award Jones with its“Outstanding American” awardAug. 20 in Chattanooga.

“It is an honor to receive this,”Jones said.

“I was at Arnold Junior HighSchool and played basketball. Iwas OK at basketball, but leftthe team,” he said adding with alaugh. “I had failed a few sub-jects. I’m not a quitter, I wasfired by coach Lou Underdown.”

The city of Cleveland hasbeen awarded a $50,000Tourism Enhancement Grantfrom the state departments ofEconomic and CommunityDevelopment and TouristDevelopment.

Assistance in funding thegrant was also provided by theAppalachian RegionalCommission.

Brian Moran, communityrelations/grant coordinator forthe city of Cleveland, said the

funding will be used for lightingand sound equipment at TheStage at Greenway Park.

“I think it is a great opportu-nity,” Moran said. “It is anotherway for Cleveland to show whata great city we are.”

The city applied for the grantin May, and has to have theproject complete within a year.

City staff leaders JonathanJobe, Teresa Torbett and CoreyDivel brainstormed ideas tosubmit and decided that light-ing and permanent soundequipment for the public stagewere the best fit for the require-

ments. “Checking with our Parks and

Recreation Department, thisfacility is often used throughoutthe week by groups and individ-uals. The stage is an asset notonly to the Greenway Park, butthe city itself for providingwholesome outdoor entertain-ment,” Cleveland Mayor TomRowland said.

especially want to thankGovernor Haslam,Commissioner Boyd and ourlegislative delegation for theirsupport. I am excited we wereselected for one of these com-

petitive grants.”The grant project had to tie

into local economic develop-ment efforts. Moran said theproject would provide entertain-ment opportunities for thosethat will come to Cleveland as aresult of the Spring BranchIndustrial Park and Interstate75/Exit 20 improvements.

With these improvements, thestage could become a biggerevent venue than it already is.

“It’s a great opportunity toreach out to groups in [sur-rounding counties] who mightwant to have an event here,”

Moran said. The grant application also

highlighted Lee University andthe potential for students andalumni of its School of Music toperform on the stage.

Alumnus Clark Beckham,runner-up on Season 14 of“American Idol,” performed onThe Stage last summer.

The stage also serves as thelocation for the annual Groovin’on the Greenway.

POMPANO BEACH, Fla. (AP) —Florida officials hope that a for-mer tanker that was sunkSaturday off the state’s southerncoast will become a major scubadiving attraction — and one ofthe biggest contributions to thestate’s artificial reef system.

The aquatic attraction namedLady Luck became the newestcenterpiece of Shipwreck Park, aseries of 16 underwater divewrecks full of marine life.

“There are lots of ships thatare sunk,” said Tom DiGiorgio,the chairman of the EconomicDevelopment Council ofPompano Beach. “But this will bethe only one that is truly interac-tive and with artwork on it.”

As one of the most accessiblemajor dive sites in the nation,Lady Luck is expected to lureapproximately 35,000 diverseach year. DiGiorgio said thatafter a 10-year search for theright vessel, Pompano Beach hasfinally found an economic enginefor Florida’s tourism industry.

“It’s going to help the hotels,the restaurants and the ancillaryeffect is going to ripple out foryears to come,” said DiGiorgio.

The 324-foot tanker was builtin 1967 and was towed from NewYork to Florida earlier this year.It was sunk off Pompano Beachon Saturday afternoon.

It features three larger-than-life shark statues, a life-sizedmermaid and an interactive artexhibit that will display locallyproduced underwater artwork.

Artist Dennis MacDonald sayshe hopes his design will attracttourists and marine life — andwill contribute to Florida’s artifi-cial reef system.

Divers have the ability to swimup to card-slinging octopuses,fake slot machines and pokertables immediately after the shipwas sunk.

Lady Luck includes 16 state-rooms, a captain’s deck and aninteractive art exhibit with arotating gallery display of locallyproduced underwater artwork.

Shipwreck Park chairmanGreg Harrison said that thefunding for the creation of theartificial reef was split betweenthe city of Pompano Beach andPompano Beach Isle Casino. Theattraction will be free for certifieddivers with their own boats.

Dennis MacDonald, the artistin charge of designing the under-water casino, said that with thehelp of about five people, includ-ing his wife, it took roughly twomonths to finish. MacDonaldalso said that some of the piecesused to create the slot machineswere salvaged from inside of thetanker.

“As the ship was stripped, Itook valves and springs,” saidMacDonald. “It was kind of a nicerebirth and reutilization of gen-eral parts of the ship.”

Rob Wyre, the general manag-er of Pompano Beach Isle Casinoand Raceway, was one of thepeople that oversaw the finalpreparation stages on Fridaybefore the wreck sank. Holeswere strategically cut into thewreck and pre-filled with waterso that the artificial reef wouldonly need a little more water tosink the next day.

Wyre also said that severalideas for the theme of the under-water attraction, such as a repli-ca of Florida, were proposed butMacDonald thought that anunderwater casino would be thebest fit.

The wreck has the potential ofbecoming one of the biggest con-tributions to Florida’s artificialreef system. It will allow for newcoral growth by minimizing dam-age created by divers and marinelife.

“Choosing solar over forestsanywhere in the world is justplain stupid,” said Dick Amper,of the Long Island Pine BarrensSociety. “Solar is very importantto fight global warming andbeyond, but I’m afraid we’remaking false choices when youdestroy portions of nature andthe environment to accomplishthat end.”

Similar projects are happen-ing elsewhere.

A court fight is brewing over aplan by New Jersey’s Six FlagsGreat Adventure amusementpark to cut down nearly 15,000trees to make way for a solar

farm. In Connecticut, state offi-cials recently approved a plan toraze 134 acres of trees in thetown of Sprague, near Norwich,for a solar energy project.

Alex Hobson, a spokeswomanfor a Solar Energy industrygroup in Washington, D.C.,declined to comment on theLong Island proposal, but saidthe industry “is committed toresponsible use of the land onwhich we operate and we go togreat lengths to protect biodiver-sity and ecologically fragilelands.”

Under the proposal, a compa-ny called LI Solar Generation,LLC, a joint venture betweenNextEra Energy Resources andNational Grid, would constructthe facility on the grounds of thedefunct Shoreham nuclearpower plant.

The plant was completed in1984 for $6 billion but neveropened because of communityopposition over potential safetyconcerns. The solar project

backers are hoping to plug intoexisting electric energy infra-structure on the Shorehamproperty, with plans for up to 72megawatts of solar energy, pro-viding power for more than13,000 homes.

A part of the plan mentionsreplanting trees elsewhere to off-set the cutting of the forest but aspokesman for the company didnot have details.

Walter Thomas, who teaches acourse on solar energy at theUniversity of Massachusetts-Lowell, questioned why it wasnecessary to eliminate any treesat all.

“I would think Long Islandwould have giant rooftops andparking lots in shopping mallsthat could be used for largesolar projects if that’s what’sneeded,” Thomas said. “There’sso much acreage available forthat stuff.”

Sid Bail, president of theWading River Civic Association,who lives about a half mile fromthe Shoreham site along theLong Island Sound, isn’t buyingit. “I favor renewable energy, butin this case it’s a very bad trade-off,” he said.

The proposal submitted lastmonth still requires extensiveregulatory review.

“We are prepared to workclosely with all public officialsand the local community tocome up with the best solutionto have renewable solar energyat Shoreham, and preserve asmuch of the property as possi-ble,” Ross Groffman, executivedirector of NextEra EnergyResources and LI SolarGeneration said in a statement.

Neal Lewis, executive directorof the Sustainability Institute atMolloy College, an environmen-tal advocacy group on LongIsland that supports theShoreham project, said it isalways preferable to build solarprojects in open spaces thatdon’t require the elimination of

large numbers of trees. But henotes that “of all the potentialoptions, there is nothing lessimpactful on the environmentthan putting in a solar farm.”

“That’s the real world we livein and they have a right to devel-op it.”

“It's great to see the club’s sup-port for our emergency servicesduring some tough times for lawenforcement across our nation,”Rowland said. “I'm delighted thatTBI Agent Danny Fay encouragedthe club to support Cleveland100. There is no better way toshow support for those who puttheir lives on the line for all of usevery day. We look forward to the2017 event being even bigger for

‘Operation Hero.’”Cleveland 100 Vice President

Joe Wilson, who made the ridewith his wife Connie, said theevent went well and he appreci-ates the motorcycle club develop-ing the fundraiser.

“Their generosity will help rec-ognize and benefit our localemergency responders who lay iton the line every day,” Wilsonsaid. “We look forward to working

with them in future events. The check donation was made

The Roughnecks motorcyclegroup, representing membersfrom Bradley and Meigs counties,made a donation to Cleveland100 Saturday.

Cleveland 100 was establishedin 1996 to provide immediatefinancial assistance for depend-ents of police, fire, rescue andambulance personnel who losetheir life in the line of duty.

The Roughnecks developed anevent called “Operation Hero” afew months ago to supportCleveland 100.

“‘Operation Hero’ was puttogether by the Bradley/MeigsCounty chapter of theRoughnecks Motorcycle Club toprovide financial help for thefamilies of fallen police, fire andEMS personnel,” said Danny Fay,chairman of “Operation Hero”and agent with the TennesseeBureau of Investigation.

“A motorcycle benefit ride wasput together with the help ofCleveland 100, Cleveland PoliceDepartment, Bradley CountySheriff Department, ClevelandFire Department, Bradley Fireand Rescue, Bradley CountyEMS, Applebee's and the BradleySquare Mall.”

Fay said the group was able toraise more than $2,000 for theinitial event “and we look forwardto making this an annual eventin May.

He said the anticipates it get-ting larger each year, and couldadd car/truck/jeep shows.

Cleveland 100 PresidentBrenda Lawson said when theorganization was first created byMayor Tom Rowland and ATFAgent Courtney McGrady, itrelied strictly on individual andcorporation annual donations,and did not participate infundraisers. However, when theRoughnecks said they wanted tohave a bike run to raise funds forCleveland 100, organizationmembers gave their blessing.

“‘Operation Hero’ came at agood time for us. With thetragedies occurring across ourcountry, we realize if our areawere hit by multiple loses of lives,we might not be financially ableto adequately help all the fami-lies,” Lawson said. “This eventhas definitely boosted our funds.

“Our membership funds arekept apart from any other budgetitems and we only pull from themwhen, and if needed, in emer-gency. Any other programs we doare funded separately,” sheexplained.

“By this donation, theRoughnecks Motorcycle Clubbecomes a corporate member ofCleveland 100, with funds goingto our perpetual fund for familiesof fallen first responders. Thenwe still have funds from thisevent to honor our men andwomen at our annual awardsevents. It serves a dual purposeand we appreciate their efforts tohelp us honor the men andwomen who serve us daily.”

Rowland said the motorcycleclub should be commended forwanting to help those in need.

Dr. Mike Iosia

At Rotary meeting:

Dr. Mike Iosia outlines leadership attributesBy JOYANNA LOVEBanner Senior Staff Writer

What makes a goodleader?

Dr. Mike Iosia, chair of theLee University Department ofHealth, Exercise Science andSecondary Education, gavethe Rotary Club of Clevelandhis answer out of TommyBowden’s playbook Tuesday.

The three main aspects ofgood leadership for a suc-cessful team were listed asopen communication, clearlyoutlined expectations andgood relationships.

Iosia worked with bothBowden brothers in hiscoaching career before turn-ing to teaching. He workedunder head coach TommyBowden at TulaneUniversity.

In reflecting on his time atTulane, he recounted thepre-season “Bowden tradi-tion” of a week-long planningsession for the coachescalled Hideaway.

This time allowed the headcoach to outline expectationsand what he wanted theteam to achieve in the com-ing season.

In 1997, Tulane footballhad its first winning seasonin 17 years.

“So we had come from astruggling program and werelooking to change trajectory,”Iosia said.

He said there “was a lot ofexcitement and a lot of hype”at the 1998 Hideaway.

Bowden said the team hadthe potential to be undefeat-ed.

The coaching staff wasalso excited going into theseason because many oftheir players were returning.

Iosia said in coaching win-ning is important for jobsecurity.

“If you aren’t winning,someone else is going to bein your seat,” Iosia said.

He said it is about figuringout how to get players to givethat little bit extra to win.

Iosia pointed out that vic-tory or defeat in a game canoften come down to one play.

Iosia read from the “Stateof the Team” Bowden gaveand recorded in the notebookfor the 1998 Hideaway week.

“This year we must find away to make that one playthat gets us to the nextlevel,” the speech stated.

The head coach also out-lined the assets of the teamas far as players and posi-tions.

Bowden said the team’sdefense had the potential “tobe the best in America.”

Bowden stressed personalresponsibility and attentionto detail in his coachingstaff.

Iosia said the speech was

filled with “audacious state-ments,” but at the end of theseason Tulane football wasundefeated.

“It was about having avision of how good we couldbe,” Iosia said.

Ground rules were alsooutlined during Hideaway.

“Any coach can bring upany question,” Iosia said.

He said Bowden expectedthem to know the programwell enough to workautonomously, while work-ing as a part of the coachingteam.

He said the coaching staffwas encouraged to take ini-tiative and not blame others.

“One of the great things Ialso love about CoachBowden is that he set expec-tations out for everyone. As amatter of fact, there is awhole section in this note-book of expectations that hehad for everyone on staff. Helaid it out before us andreviewed them for us, so thatthere was no gray area.There were expectations onloyalty, staff secrets gettingout of the office … dresscode, conduct, relationshipswith the players, yourresponsibility as a father or ahusband or as a family manas a coach and as arecruiter,” Iosia said.

Bowden also expected hiscoaches to be on top of theplayers’ academics, to knowhow many credits they weretaking and how their gradeswere.

Iosia said Bowden built arelationship of trust andcooperation with each mem-ber of his coaching staff.

Bowden had stressed tohis coaching staff to “keepme posted.”

“I don’t want to find outabout it in the papers orfrom the president,” Iosiasaid, quoting Bowden.

Iosia also gave a glimpse ofhow a coaching staff worksand what it was like behindthe scenes of college football.

Iosia said he was giving amid-management view.

“What a lot of people donot understand is that yourstrength and conditioningstaff, as well as your athletictrainers and their staff,spend more time with theplayers than the [head]coaches do,” Iosia said.

He said the head coach isoften in and out recruitingplayers and handling admin-istrative tasks.

“When it comes to coach-es, January and Februaryare all out,” Iosia said.

He said then there is a lit-tle bit of a break beforespring practice starts.

Iosia said players use thesummer to work on strength,conditioning and drillsbefore the season starts.

Old Town Productions hasbegun its fourth documentarywhich will take a look at the his-tory of the old locally owned“mom and pop” restaurantsbefore the days of the chainrestaurants.

The target date for completionof the film is mid-September ofthis year.

Dustin Coleman, writer andnarrator, said, “We will look backat the days when all of ourrestaurants and eateries werelocally owned and operated.Every small town had thoseplaces that everyone remembers.If you grew up here, I am sureyou will remember places likethe Grand Lunch, the ChowNow, Sugar N Spice, Lon’sSandwich Shop, the drug storelunch counters, and ice cream atDooley’s.”

Several people have alreadybeen interviewed and the search

for pictures, menus and adver-tisements are underway.

Debbie Moore, the historicaladviser for the project, added, “Itis important that we try to savethis history for future genera-tions and to bring back somefond memories to all of us. Whenstarting research, we were sur-prised to find how little informa-tion such as pictures were avail-able. We need the public’s help toprovide photos and any otheritems from the old restaurants.”

John Cook has started writingthe original music for the film.Ron Moore will serve as thedirector of the project.

Old Town Productionsreleased “Going Home: TheHistory of Caney Creek Village”to preserve the history of a smallcommunity built to support thebuilding and operating the flumein 1918.

In 2014, “It’s A Dirt Track Life”explored the early days of dirttrack racing, and recently “It’s

Local law enforcement hasreceived many accolades for thejobs they do, including receivingcards, cakes and other food, andsupportive signs.

The Cleveland PoliceDepartment recently had a signerected at their offices onChurch Street in support of theofficers there.

It also said those who broughtthe sign “stand with Dallas andBaton Rouge,” where officerswere killed in shootings over thepast few weeks.

“We have seen some frustrat-ing events occur, and to havethis type of support is veryencouraging,” said ClevelandPolice Chief Mark Gibson. “Ourguys don’t expect or ask for anypraise, but when times thatsomeone spontaneously comesforward and does something likethis, it is uplifting and you cantell that our officers appreciateany type of praise.”

“We are constantly trying touplift each other, but when itcomes from the outside, it meansa lot more,” Gibson added.

Bradley County Sheriff EricWatson echoed Gibson’s com-ments. “It certainly brightens anofficer’s day when he or she getsa pat on the back or a kindword,” he said.

Watson said he recentlyreceived a letter thanking thesheriff’s office and other lawenforcement for its role in pro-tecting and serving the public.

“This letter from a BradleyCounty citizen was unexpectedand very much appreciated,” thesheriff said. “To everyone whohas shown our deputies or anyofficer how much they are val-ued, I sincerely thank you.

“You can be sure we will workhard to go ‘over and above’ whatis asked of us,” Watson said. (Seetoday’s Bradley County Sheriff’sOffice column by Watson.)

“Our officers realize that this

is part of their job, so they take itin stride and go through theiremotions, but they put on theiruniforms and do their job and dothe best they can,” Gibson said.

He added while residents’ safe-ty is their top priority, officersafety is also a priority.

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Emailsdisclosed in a lawsuit over ablocked Mississippi law that pro-tects religious objections to same-sex marriage show a Christianlegal group asked Gov. Phil Bryantto institute the protectionsthrough an executive order in2015.

The emails were filed in courtthis week by opponents who per-suaded a federal judge to blockthe law before it went into effect.The plaintiffs say the emails showHouse Bill 1523 “improperly andunconstitutionally reflects thesectarian Christian values” of theAlliance Defending Freedom andother supporters.

Emails show the alliance alsooffered public relations advice toBryant and drafted the statementthe Republican governor issuedexplaining why he signed the billinto law. Bryant declined toanswer questions from TheAssociated Press on Friday, send-ing only a statement.

“We appreciate the AllianceDefending Freedom working withthe Legislature to draft House Bill1523,” Bryant said. “It is perfectlynormal for our office to work withindividuals and organizations,who have had a role in requestingand/or opposing legislation, dur-ing the bill review process to gath-er additional information.”

U.S. District Judge CarltonReeves blocked the law less thanan hour before it would havetaken effect July 1. Bryant andDepartment of Human ServicesExecutive Director John Davis areappealing, represented in part bythe Washington, D.C.-basedalliance, and have asked Reeves to

let the law take effect in the mean-time. Opponents have askedReeves to leave his preliminaryinjunction in effect during anyappeal, saying Bryant hasn’tshown any proof his appeal willsucceed.

“If allowed to go into effect, HB1523 will cause sweeping harm tosome of the most vulnerable mem-bers of society,” wrote RobertaKaplan, one of the lawyers for theplaintiffs.

An email from Austin Nimocks,senior counsel with the alliance,suggested an executive order toDrew Snyder, Bryant’s policydirector and counsel, 10 daysbefore the U.S. Supreme Courtlegalized same-sex marriage inMississippi and nationwide.

“The main document is a modelexecutive order that would pre-vent state governments from dis-criminating against their citizensbecause of their views about oractions concerning marriage,”Nimocks wrote, including a sam-ple news release.

Much of the language from thatproposal appears in HB 1523,including a section that seeks toprotect actions motivated by threebeliefs: that marriage is onlybetween a man and a woman; thatsex should only take place in sucha marriage; and that a person’sgender is determined at birth andcannot be altered.

Outside groups often draft lawsin Mississippi. University ofChicago researchers recentlyfound that Mississippi lawmakersintroduced more model bills fromthe conservative AmericanLegislative Exchange Council thanlegislators in any other state.Mississippi lawmakers also intro-duced the third-highest numberof bills from the more liberal-lean-ing State Innovation Exchange.

Kaplan’s filing also cites corre-spondence from the MississippiCenter for Public Policy, whichhelped organize churches andother groups that supported HB1523 in advance of the 2016 leg-islative session.

was hired by Corporate FlightManagement in November of2012 as first officer of a King Air8200, prior to being elevated toher position in Cleveland.

Cole began flying in 2005 as aTellico Plains high school stu-dent out of the McMinn CountyAirport in Athens. She finishedher private pilot’s license in 2006out of McGhee-Tyson Airport inKnoxville.

The young pilot then attendedMiddle Tennessee StateUniversity in Murfreesboro, andshe admitted to being extremelyhomesick away from her family.

Two of her sisters later followedher to MTSU.

Cole graduated from MTSU in2009 with a bachelor of scienceas a professional pilot, whichincluded flight labs for instru-ment, commercial and multi-engine ratings.

She began her master’s degreein the fall of 2009, while still anundergraduate at MTSU, gradu-ating in the spring of 2011 withher master of science inairline/airport management.

Her first job was as a flightinstructor at the Smyrna Airportfrom 2009 through 2012. Shewas then hired by CorporateFlight Management Inc.

She was rated in a Jet Stream4100 in October 2013, and inLear jets in November 2014.

Cole’s youthful appearancedoes not reflect her more than1,850 hours of flight time.

The Jetport’s young FBO gen-eral manager providedThursday’s program for theKiwanis Club, although she isnew in her position. JetportManager Mark Fidler was out oftown.

Some questions asked byKiwanis members were referredto Fidler or other Jetport person-nel due to her recent addition tothe staff.

Cole said Jetport officials areappreciative of the club’s visit.“We would like to have more(community) clubs come out hereto visit,” she said.

Cole emphasized she beganher new job the first of themonth, but she still does someflying. “I flew into this Jetport in2013 (right after it opened), andit hasn’t changed that much,”she said.

The new general manager saidJetport officials are hoping toextend the runway by 700 feet inthe near future. Asked why theextension is being considered,she said it will allow larger air-planes to use the facility.

The runway is currently 5,500feet in length, and 100 feet wide,and the facility has 10 privatebox hangers.

Cole quipped that the runwayis long enough to land aboutanything. “The problem is takingoff,” she added.

She said the Jetport is a $57million investment, with a mix oflocal, state and federal funds.

Asked about the responsibili-ties of her corporation, she said,“We park airplanes, pump gaso-line and make sure everythinglooks nice.”

Cole briefly discussed

Corporate Flight Management’soperations through the Southand across the nation.

While she was talking, a CivilAir Patrol flight left the vicinity ofthe terminal. This outside activi-ty prompted some questionsfrom the Kiwanians about theCAP.

Cole was asked about fuel con-sumption and rates at theJetport, and she said her corpo-ration is unsure of some of thenumbers (at this time). She saidthat when the previous vendor,Crystal Air, left, they took alltheir records. Therefore,Corporate Flight has no recordsto compare.

Asked why a number of politi-cal candidates landed inCleveland during recent toursacross the South, Cole said thelack of a landing fee, Cleveland’s

central location and convenienceare among the reasons.

Asked if the Jetport is market-ing itself as a refueling stop, Colereplied, “We try to market every-thing, and we’re trying to domore in general aviation.”

“We can meet everyone’s needsright now,” she said in conclud-ing her report.

From GOP convention

Beaty: Trump comfortable, confident (Editor’s Note: Emily Beaty is a

Cleveland resident who is a dele-gate to the Republican NationalConvention in Cleveland, Ohio. Sheis providing her thoughts this weekfrom the floor of the convention.Blake Kitterman, who will be a del-egate to the Democratic NationalConvention in Philadelphia, will beproviding commentary from therethis week for Cleveland DailyBanner readers.)

By EMILY BEATYGOP Convention Delegate

CLEVELAND, Ohio — AsDonald Trump accepted theRepublican nomination lastThursday, not only did he paint apicture of a country in trouble, hemade the case that he is the onlycandidate who can fix America’sproblems.

Looking around me on the con-vention floor, Trump had com-mand from the moment hestepped on the stage. I have neverseen a crowd more focused on aspeaker. At times, you could haveheard a pin drop in QuickenLoans Arena, then, right on cue,the crowd would erupt in a rowdyfrenzy.

Trump is not only confident, heis comfortable. He seemed to rel-ish and enjoy the moment, taking

time to chant with the crowd,laugh, and point to individuals.

Are there still disenfranchisedRepublicans? Perhaps, but I wit-nessed unity on the floorThursday night.

After the convention, I was ableto catch some of the commentaryon cable news and wondered if Ihad been to the same conventionthe pundits were discussing.Those of us interested in politicstend to forget the majority of vot-ers are not concerned with theminute details of policy.

Substance is important, butthere are other layers of success-ful candidates.

Things like personality, gravi-tas, charisma all shape, to a cer-tain degree, our perception of acandidate.

The average American did notnotice or care that Trump usedthe word “I” instead of the word“we.”

Likewise, the notion thatTrump should have told theAmerican people exactly how heplans to accomplish all the agen-das he laid out in is speech isabsurd.

Take notice of how many specif-ic and detailed plans come out ofPhiladelphia next week.

The experts have been wrong

about Trump all along. Thespeech they call dark and fearfulactually reflects the mood of manyAmericans.

Blue collar workers are watch-ing their jobs go overseas.Policemen are being targeted fordoing their jobs. Veterans areunable to receive the medicaltreatment they need and deserve.Americans are concerned aboutsafety and security as we seeweekly outbursts of violence onour own soil and abroad.

In fact, the latest Rasumussienpolls shows only 21 percent ofAmericans believe our country isheaded in the right direction — athree-year low.

The reason Trump supportersare so enthusiastic and loyal isbecause they believe Trump caresand understands their pain andfears.

One of the best lines of Trump’sspeech was plain and simple, butperfect to contrast himself withHillary Clinton. Trump saidClinton “believes she is entitled tothe office. Her campaign slogan is‘I’m with her.’ You know what myresponse to that is? I’m with you— the American people. I am yourvoice.’”

Beyond the rhetoric, there arereal differences between the twocandidates.

I am proud of the RepublicanParty and its resiliency throughthis tough primary process. I amalso proud to support theRepublican nominee for Presidentof the United States.

I want to thank all those whovoted and supported me from the3rd Congressional District. Thepast week has been a wonderfulexperience.

The events, meetings, parties,and convention speeches are excit-ing, but it is being a part of historyand serving my hometown that ismost important to me. I sincerelyappreciate the opportunity.

WASHINGTON (AP) —President Barack Obama vetoeda bill Friday that would cap thetaxpayer-funded expenseaccounts of former presidents.

Obama said he supports thebill’s goal, but he sent the meas-ure back to Congress because itwould immediately end salariesand benefits to staffers carryingout the official duties of formerpresidents. He says the measure

doesn’t provide enough time forthese employees to be moved toanother payroll.

Obama says the bill would alsointerfere with the SecretService’s ability to protect ex-presidents.

He offered to work with law-makers and the offices of the for-mer presidents to change the billin ways that would eventuallyearn his signature.

Lines form ahead of Garafola’s funeralBATON ROUGE, La. (AP) —

Hundreds of people lined upSaturday to pay their respects tothe family of a Louisiana sheriff’sdeputy killed by a gunman sixdays earlier.

Deputy Brad Garafola and twoBaton Rouge police officers werekilled outside a convenience storeless than a mile from police head-quarters.

The line of mourners snakedthrough hallways in the 1,500-seat sanctuary at IstroumaBaptist Church in Baton Rouge,out the back door and into theparking lot. It included scores ofofficers from around Louisianaand from coast to coast.

Two police officers and twosheriff’s deputies came from theSeattle, Washington area.Bellevue police Officer Paul Dillsaid their chief feels it’s importantto honor brother and sister offi-cers. He said the departmentsends an honor guard contingentto every out-of-state death in theline of duty.

Early arrivals for Garafola’sservice included a deputy whoworked with Garafola in thedepartment’s foreclosure divisionand was dressed in Scottishregalia as drum major for a pipeband.

Deputy Greg McLean describedGarafola as a generous familyman. He said that when another

deputy in the department waslosing hair to chemotherapy,Garafola shaved his own head insupport.

Garafola, 45, will be laid to restone day after hundreds turnedout for a funeral service for Baton

Rouge police Officer MatthewGerald, 41.

Funeral services for the thirdofficer slain, 32-year-old MontrellJackson, are slated for Monday.A multi-agency memorial servicefor the officers is scheduled for

Thursday.The three men were shot and

killed by 29-year-old gunmanGavin Long; three other officerswere also wounded in the shoot-ing. Long was killed by police.

The shootings came at a time ofracial tension in the city andcountry after a black man wasshot and killed during a con-frontation with two white policeofficers outside a conveniencestore. The next day a black manin Minnesota was shot and killedby police, and his girlfriendlivestreamed the aftermath onFacebook. The day after that, ablack gunman in Dallas openedfire during a protest against theMinnesota and Baton Rougeshootings, and killed five policeofficers.

Garafola’s boss, East BatonRouge Sheriff Sid Gautreaux,described to reporters how hecould see Garafola on surveil-lance video, firing at the gunmanas bullets hit the concrete aroundhim.

“My deputy went down fighting.He returned fire to the very end,”the sheriff said.

Garafola’s friends describedhim as a man committed to pub-lic service and devoted to his fam-ily.

He leaves behind a wife andfour children: a 21-year-old son,a 15-year-old daughter, a 12-year-old son and a 7-year-olddaughter.

Los ANgELEs-bAsEd Consul General of Guatemala, Roberto Archila, left, and FBI AssistantDirector in Charge, Deirdre Fike, middle, review pre-Columbian Mayan artifacts during a repatriation cer-emony at the FBI offices in Los Angeles, Friday. The items came to the attention of the FBI's Art CrimeTeam earlier this year when an individual managing the art collection of the owner made contact.

Mayan artifacts to be returned to Guatemala

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Sevenpriceless Mayan artifacts looteddecades ago from Guatemala arereturning to the land of their cre-ation after a representative foran antiquities collector grew sus-picious of their origin and con-tacted the FBI.

Experts called in by the agencyquickly determined the lime-stone pieces, all more than athousand years old, wereremoved illegally from two specif-ic regions of Guatemala and soldto a California collector in the1970s.

“Four larger limestone piecesdate to 400 to 600 A.D.,” saidFBI special agent ElizabethRivas, whose specialty is artcrimes investigation. “Expertsbelieve they are symbolic of theEarth Monster connecting theEarth to the underworld.”

Three smaller pieces coveredin hieroglyphics likely once madeup a calendar outside an ancienttemple in Guatemala’sPetexbatun region, Rivas said.They are believed to be 1,400 to1,100 years old.

All seven were placed on dis-play at Los Angeles’ FBI head-quarters Friday for a news con-ference attended by U.S. andGuatemalan officials. The consulgeneral to Guatemala’s LosAngeles consulate called thempriceless.

“They are part of our culture.Part of our people. Part of ourearth. Every piece that isreturned to Guatemala for us isvery important,” said RobertoArchila, who thanked the FBIand U.S. government.

He said Guatemala plans toship them to a museum dedicat-ed to Mayan artifacts and even-tually put them on display.

Rivas said the FBI becameaware of the artifacts’ existencein the 1970s when authoritiescharged an antiquities dealerwith illegally selling other piecesstolen from Guatemala.

“Because we could not deter-mine where in Guatemala theycame from or when they came tothe U.S. we could not prove theywere stolen,” she said of the

seven pieces.Had the agency had the capa-

bility to determine their prove-nance then, Rivas added, thedealer likely would have facedadditional charges. She said offi-cials believe the buyer didn’tknow they were stolen.

“An innocent buyer who is acollector purchased the itemsinside the US and he had themfor many, many years,” she said.

After that person died an indi-vidual handling the estate dis-covered the pieces had no papersshowing their provenance, orchain of ownership, which wouldalso show if they left Guatemalalegally. That’s when the FBI andits experts were called in.

Rivas declined to identify thecollector or the third party otherthan to say they were fromCalifornia. She said the personwho contacted the FBI washappy to learn the pieces aregoing back to Guatemala.

Since 1970 the United Stateshas cooperated with countriesaround the world in efforts toreturn looted artifacts.

The FBI formed an art crimeteam in 2004 to help in thateffort, and since then officialssay it has recovered more than14,850 items valued at morethan $165 billion.

“We’re really happy to be partof this,” said Deirdre Fike, assis-tant director of the FBI’s LosAngeles office. “This is a goodnews story.”

his freshman year.“I remember the first year we

had a football coach as acoach,” he recalled. “We had thefastest player of all time, RobertWare. We met jumping centeragainst each other.”

The two came out together forthe wrestling team.

“He was better than me inbasketball and a lot better thanme in football,” he said. “Inwrestling, I could tell I could bebetter than him.”

With another laugh he said,“After I proved that to him, hequit.”

Jones said he found himselfenjoying the sport, actuallystarting on the varsity teamwhen he was a freshman.

“In my first match, I was over-weight and had to lose weightfrom 140 to 138,” he said. “Ithink I had forgotten to loseweight. So, I missed my firstmatch and the second stringwould up winning it.”

Jones said his first match inhis sophomore year was in frontof the student body.

“I remember this vividly,” hesaid. “A guy named Steve Ellerfrom Hixon was the opponent.The whole student body waswatching and I pinned him.After I pinned him, that’s when Irealized I really liked this. Iworked hard at it.”

The event which motivatedJones to help ensure Clevelandhad the best teams possible wasin his junior year under theirfootball coach, Bo Elliott.

“For the years I was on theteam, the coaches were footballcoaches and not wrestlingcoaches,” he said. “So, I amgoing down to wrestle McCalliein my senior year, which had awhole staff of college-levelwrestling coaches without thehelp.”

Jones does not hold a greatdeal of affection rememberingcoach Elliott who was coachduring is junior year.

“He knew I was the bestwrestler and tried to get me tostart a fight on the football field.I refused to do that, so we start-ed off on the wrong foot,” hesaid.

Jones was on the team withJim DiGennaro, who laterbecame the SEC champion atthe University of Georgia.

“We are at the region tourna-ment my junior year undercoach Elliot and if we won thenext match — and mine wasthe easy match — we go to thestate tournament,” he recalled.

He recalled the coach callingthem in and telling them. “Youknow if you win this nextmatch, you’ll be going to thestate tournament. You know ifyou go to the state tournament,you’re going to have to practicefor another week. If you have topractice another week, thatmeans I’ll have to come and beat practice for another week.You do not want me to have towork another week. If you do, itwill be the worst week of yourlife. So, you know what you’regoing to have to do, don’t you?”

He said the two responded,“Yes, sir.” The coach walked outof the room.

Jones’ match was first “andwe were demanded to throw ourmatches.”

There is a photo of Joneswrestling “a guy I could justkill.”

“DiGennaro had an opponentwith which he could lose andnobody would know he threwthe match,” Jones said. “Minewas going to be obvious.”

“He runs off the mat. I’m

thinking I’m going to win andDiGennaro’s going to lose andI’m going to be stuck [with thecoach] by myself the nextweek,” he recalled.

“In desperation, I drag himby the foot and drag him to thecenter of the mat,” Jones said.“The paper snaps the pictureand I jump underneath him.That picture shows the match Ithrew.”

Jones said that was a turningpoint for him. He decided “thatwould never happen again.”

“My dad wanted me to gowith him to the state tourna-ment. I never told my parents,”he said. “My dad said I couldhave won that championshipand it was killing me to know Ihad to throw that match.”

Jones said it is fortunateElliott was not hired back forthe next year.

During Jones’ senior year,another coach came in, DuaneSchriver who was from NewYork “and talked funny.”

Schriver had been at theUniversity of Tennessee forbaseball and had taken over forcoach Bill Talley.

Jones said the first matchunder the new coach wasagainst McCallie.

“We are a horrible team andMcCallie has a whole slew ofcollege wrestling coaches,” hesaid. “Schriver had wrestledvery little in high school and weknew more than he did.”

“He kept telling us we canbeat these guys and me andDiGennaro thought we weregoing to get killed by theseguys,” he said.

When Jones stepped on themat, it was 52-0.

“I was the best wrestler onour team and my opponent wastheir worst,” he recalled. “Iabsolutely annihilated him. Forall these years, I’ve been tryingto find him to apologize.”

He and DiGennaro win andthey retire to the locker room“to get our usual butt-chew-ing.”

“This was the turning pointfor wrestling at Cleveland HighSchool when Duane Schriversaid, ‘Guys, I need to apologizeto you. I’m new at this anddon’t know much about this.You were not outwrestledtonight. I was outcoached. Italked to those other guys.They have a middle school pro-gram. We don’t. All of thoseguys are college coaches. I’mnot.’”

Jones said Schriver said ifthe players would stick withhim, they would never be put in

that position again.“By 1981, Schriver wins the

state championship and turnsthings around,” Jones said. “Hedid it by caring about the kidsand by making sure he got thebest out of each kid he could.Your best match you wrestledmay not be one you won, andhe understood that.”

Schriver brought in an assis-tant, Al Miller, who had previ-ously wrestled at ClevelandHigh. and was a wrestler atUTC.

“I have been motivated thatthese kids never face Bo Elliotagain,” Jones said.

He said part of makingCleveland competitive again wasto get Bradley Central to start awrestling team.

“I couldn’t make Clevelandcompetitive unless Bradley wascompetitive. We had this rivalrygoing,” Jones said. “That’s whatmakes these two schools good— being competitive with eachother.”

“Bo Elliott gets credit formotivating me for all of that andall of my donations to the sportto ensuring wrestlers do nothave to face another coach likehim,” Jones said with a laugh.“As a result, Cleveland andBradley County have becomethe capital of wrestling.”

In speaking of the award,Jones goes back to what the

sport of wrestling has done forhim.

“It taught me how to pushmyself harder,” Jones said.“When you think you can’t goany harder, you can go harder.”

He the only way to competewas to be in better shape thanhis competitor.

“I would go out and run afterpractice,” he said. “I would runand I would jog and work myrear off to put myself in goodshape so when third periodcame, I had a lot of horsepower.”

“I couldn’t learn wrestlingbecause I didn’t have anyone toteach it,” Jones added. “But, Icould put myself in good condi-tion.”

“Wrestling taught me how todrive myself,” he said. “It alsotaught me character. It’s notpeople who win a wrestlingmatch — when I was winningmy senior year, that was easy —what was hard is the freshmanyear when I was 0 and how evermany matches I wrestled. Iwould lose in front of my girl-friend or my parents and forcemyself to come back and do itagain and do it again and do itagain.”

“That’s what teaches charac-ter,” Jones said. “It’s easy whenyou’re a winner to go out there,but what’s hard is after you’velost to keep pushing yourselfand pushing yourself.”

Cleveland was one of 29 com-munities to receive a TourismEnhancement Grant.

“These grants showcase howgreat the partnership is betweentourist development and eco-nomic development. With thesupport of these grants, eachcommunity will be betterequipped to succeed in our stateand I look forward to seeingthese Tennessee communitiesthrive,” Gov. Bill Haslam said.

An advisory committee madeup of staff from TennesseeDepartment of Environmentand Conservation and theTennessee Department ofAgriculture chose these com-munities from 61 grant applica-tions

“We celebrate with each com-munity receiving the TourismEnhancement Grant,”Tennessee Department ofTourist DevelopmentCommissioner Kevin Triplettsaid.

“Tourism development is animportant part of every commu-nity, but in some cases we werefinding a lack of infrastructureto fully take advantage of sometourism opportunities. Weappreciate our great partners atTNECD for coming to the tablewith this initiative for commu-nities to enhance their localtourism assets.”

Gibson said the departmenthas also reached out to otherlaw enforcement agencies in theregion to receive and shareintelligence that has been gath-ered, and establishing points ofcontact with state agencies.

He said recent incidentsinvolving police being shotdemonstrate why training isimportant.

A simulator to help train offi-cers on potential use of forceincidents is also a part of train-ing. Gibson said the simulatorhelps officers train on how tode-escalate a situation to avoidusing force, and “transitioningfrom lethal and non-lethal [situ-ations] and vice versa.”

Safety of staff inside thebuilding has been increased atthe Cleveland Police ServiceCenter with bullet-resistantglass and reinforcement of thewood area around the reception-ist area. This was one of thesafety-related recommendationsmade by former TennesseeBureau of Investigation LarryWallace last year when heworked as a police consultantfor the city.

A second School ResourceOfficer has also been assignedto Cleveland High School.

“It didn’t happen the way wewanted it to,” Gibson said. “Wedid not get funded for a positionfor an SRO. Basically, what wehad to do, was we had to takeone of our supervisors … andassign him primarily toCleveland High School, and takesome of his responsibilities anddivvy them up among the other

divisions.”Having someone staff the

Police Service Center lobby 24/7has not been funded.

“I think we need officers onthe street first,” Gibson said. “Itis not practical for us to havesomeone sitting in the frontlobby waiting for someone tocome in. In today’s day andtime, we really don’t get thathigh of volume of people comingin for that type of service.”

In an effort to meet halfwaybetween what is offered now and24-hour service, Gibson said thedepartment has hired someadditional civilian staff to pro-vide someone at the desk afterhours for a few hours. He saidthere are officers on patrolaround the Police Service Center24 hours a day, so if anyoneneeded help, they would be inthe area.

The department has 91 swornpersonnel. Wallace had recom-mended six additional patrolofficers. This recommendationwas not funded in the 2016 orthe 2017 fiscal years. Additionalnarcotics detectives and creat-ing an intelligence analyst posi-tion were also recommended,but remain unfunded. Officersare given the option of workingon their days off in order to fillany needs.

In the past year, the diversityof experience and ethnicity ofthe department has increased.Gibson said another communitymeeting will be held to giveprospective officers and thepublic information about work-ing for the department.

Edgemon recently noted “itwas something we wanted to doand were pleased to be allowedto do.”

“The Olympics was somethingof a lifetime experience,”Edgemon said.

Unlike most volunteers, westood out because we weredressed in our TDF fatigues.

We had people posted at theLee University Village site, andat all the parking locationsbetween Cleveland and thevenue, as well as above theWhitewater Center towardCopper Basin.

At night, when everyone elsehad abandoned the Olympic sitefor the evening, we had mem-bers of the TDF on patrol. It wasconsiderably cooler on-site atnight.

I had primary postings at twosites. The field where the OcoeeBarn now stands was a parkingarea for volunteers. They startedarriving at about 5:30 in themorning, so it was early duty.By mid-morning the lot was full.The rest of the day was basicallywatching over the site. We cutthe staff from the six in the earlymorning to two.

The other posting was at theTaylor Ruritan Club area, wherethe unit had set up headquar-ters. There we were handling theexcitement of individuals withtickets to the Olympics as theywaited to board bus shuttles tothe Whitewater Olympic site.

I was at the Taylor Ruritanarea on Saturday morning, July27, 1996, when bombs went offat Centennial Olympic Park inAtlanta, Ga. Eric RobertRudolph had set off pipe bombsthat killed one and injured 111others.

The security for the venuesand Olympic villages immedi-ately went into lockdown. All ofthe sites were searched toensure no other explosivedevices were in operation.

People we had been directingto buses were taken off. It tookquite a while for all the areas tobe searched and cleared.

During the clearing time, thewould-be spectators were wait-ing in the hot July heat. I don’tremember the exact tempera-ture that day, but it was a typi-cal scorching July day. To helpease the anxiety and heat forspectators, we pulled out theRed Cross canisters with icewater and shared with those in

the parking lots.It was a relief when everything

had been searched and peoplesent on their way.

The TDF mission continuedpretty smoothly with no othermajor bumps.

Regular volunteers were givensome training and a handbookoutlining what was expected ofthem. The TDF troops receivedtheir training by working aseries of pre-Olympic eventsalong the Ocoee River.

“It was good training,”Edgemon said.

It was also a bit more excitingfor our troops. We were able tointeract more with the whitewa-ter participants and actuallywatch some of the pre-Olympicactivities.

There is a diverse mix of cul-tures involved in the Olympics.The majority of the Olympichopefuls were very cooperativeand cordial. One of the reasonswe were asked to wear our mili-tary fatigues was because somecountries have more respect forthe military than the police.

That is not always the case. Iwas working at one of the pre-Olympic sites directing traffic,when I had a confrontation withan individual. I’m not sure, but Idon’t think he wanted a womantelling him what to do.

I was letting the participantscome up and off load theirequipment before parking inanother area. This individualpulled up and started locking uphis vehicle.

I told him as nicely and firmlyas I could he would have tomove the van. He reluctantlyagreed, if I would let them offload first.

I said OK. Then he and theother three men in his groupbegan taking their equipmentdown. They then stripped totheir birthday suits to changetheir gear.

It had the desired effect. Imoved to the other side of thevan. As soon as they finishedchanging, they began to leavethe area.

Since the driver did not seemto want to comply with my earli-er request, I got into his faceand told him to move the van.He said no. I said fine I wouldhave it towed.

He moved the van to where Iwanted it parked, which by thistime was considerably furtheraway then earlier.

It was a good bluff. While Iwas responsibile for seeing traf-fic was efficiently directed, I didnot have the authority to towvehicles.

Volunteering was a good expe-rience. It was hard, but reward-ing work. I was thankful that Ihad the chance to be a part ofthe Centennial Olympics.

MIAMI (AP) — Hillary Clintondebuted running mate Sen. TimKaine on Saturday as a can-doprogressive committed to socialjustice and equality — “everythingDonald Trump and Mike Penceare not” — at a boisterous rallyahead of next week’s DemocraticNational Convention.

“He is qualified to step into thisjob and lead from Day One. Andhe is a progressive who likes to getthings done,” Clinton declared atFlorida International University.

Kaine, a bilingual formerVirginia governor, detailed his lifein public service. “I like to fight forright,” he said.

And, as Clinton smiled broadlyat her choice for vice president,Kaine greeted the largely Hispanicaudience in Spanish. “We’re goingto be ‘compañeros de alma,’ inthis great ‘lucha’ ahead,” he said,or “soul mates in this great fightahead.”

Trump, in a text to his ownsupporters, said President BarackObama, Clinton and Kaine were“the ultimate insiders” andimplored voters to not “let Obamahave a 3rd term.”

At the splashy rally, Democratssought to offer a contrast withTrump and Pence, whose firstappearance together in a NewYork City hotel ballroom includeda lengthy speech by the GOP busi-nessman and much more limitedremarks from Pence, the Indianagovernor. The two only brieflyposed for photos at their cam-paign kickoff.

Clinton chose to introduceKaine as her running mate in thebattleground state of Florida, wav-ing to the large crowd of cheeringsupporters as they bounded onstage with their hands raised inthe traditional sign of unity.Clinton sought to present thepartnership as one built in opti-mism, panning the Republicanconvention, which ended two daysearlier, as a display of “fear,”‘’anger and resentment.”

She noted that Kaine had taken

a year off from Harvard LawSchool to do missionary work inHonduras and had worked as acivil rights attorney specializing inequal housing. Clinton said Kaineas governor worked withRepublicans and helped his homestate navigate the Great Recessionwithout sacrificing funding foreducation.

She also pointed to his work ongun control after the deadlyVirginia Tech shooting in 2007,praising his efforts to curb gunviolence before a nation still reel-ing from a series of shootings andviolence against police.

“Behind that smile Tim also hasa backbone of steel. Just ask theNRA,” Clinton said.

Choking up, Kaine described

the Virginia Tech shooting as the“worst day ... of my life.”

Kaine, 58, was long viewed as alikely choice because of hisresume in government and histime as chairman of theDemocratic National Committee.He also had a particularly power-ful backer in Obama, whom Kaineendorsed in 2007. Obama consid-ered him for vice president a yearlater.

Kaine showed a willingness tomix it up with the Republicanticket, assailing Trump as some-one who had left “a trail of brokenpromises and wrecked lives wher-ever he goes.”

He also vouched for Clinton’strustworthiness, a major liabilitywith voters, telling the crowd,

“She has always delivered.”He pointed out that his father-

in-law was a Republican governorof Virginia who had integrated thepublic schools. He called marry-ing his wife, Anne Holton, “thebest decision of my life.” The cou-ple planned to be back inRichmond on Sunday for 9 a.m.Catholic Mass.

Holton, who wiped away tearsduring the speech, is the state’seducation secretary and a formerstate judge. The couple has threeadult children, including a son,Nat, a Marine who is going on adeployment on Monday, aidessaid.

Kaine is likely to be a valuableasset for the Democratic ticket inappealing to Hispanic Americans

turned off by Trump’s harsh rhet-oric about immigrants.

Trump was not making publicappearances on Saturday buttook to Twitter to seek to undercutClinton’s new addition, pointing tothe Trans-Pacific Partnershiptrade deal and Wall Street asareas where supporters of one-time Clinton rival Bernie Sandersmight split with Kaine.

Trump tweeted that Kaine “hasbeen praising the Trans PacificPartnership and has been push-ing hard to get it approved. Jobkiller!” In a tweet earlier in theday, Trump wrote that Kaine was“owned by the banks. Bernie sup-porters are outraged, was theirlast choice. Bernie fought fornothing!”

Kaine is viewed skeptically bysome liberals, who dislike his2015 vote to provide the presidentwith “fast-track authority” ontrade deals and recent stances onWall Street regulations, includingrules governing regional banks.

Clinton opposed the TPP duringthe primary against Sanders, cit-ing concerns about job protec-tions and national security. AClinton campaign aide said Kainemade clear “in the course of dis-cussions” that he shares Clinton’sopposition to the TPP in its cur-rent form.

But progressive groups saidthey want more assurances thatthe White House, which haspushed the trade deal, won’t try toram it through after the Novemberelection.

“The selection increases theburden on Hillary Clinton to pres-sure the White House to take TPPoff the table in a lame-duckCongress,” said Adam Green, co-founder of the Progressive ChangeCampaign Committee.

But Larry Cohen, a former

president of the CommunicationsWorkers of America union and atop Sanders adviser, said Kaine’srecord needed to be considered inits totality.

“Most Harvard Law graduatesdon’t go into civil rights work inthe South,” said Cohen, who firstmet Kaine when he served asRichmond’s mayor. “His life hasbeen those kinds of choices. He’snever run after big money. He’salways run after ‘How can I makea difference?’”

DemocrAtic PresiDentiAl candidate Hillary Clinton and Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., arrive at a rallyat Florida International University Panther Arena in Miami, Saturday. Clinton has chosen Kaine to be herrunning mate.

How Hillary Clinton chose Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine as her VPMIAMI (AP) — Hillary Clinton’s

search for a vice president start-ed with a commanding victory inthe New York primary and a spe-cial delivery in a plastic DuaneReade bag. Three months later, itended with a phone call to ashipyard office, where VirginiaSen. Tim Kaine was waiting.

From the start, Kaine was afront-runner to join Clinton onthe Democratic ticket. A senator,former Virginia governor andmayor of Richmond, he hailsfrom a top battleground stateand, as a fluent Spanish speaker,could help in another: Florida.Victories in both would likely putthe White House out of the reach

of Donald Trump and his run-ning mate, Indiana Gov. MikePence.

But Clinton grew personallycomfortable with the likable andeven-keeled Kaine as they cam-paigned together in recent weeksand discussed the vice presiden-cy. Clinton ultimately concludedthat she had “unshakeable confi-dence in Kaine’s readiness to dothe job,” according to a Clintonaide familiar with her thinking.The aide spoke on condition ofanonymity to describe the privatedeliberations over her selection.

It wasn’t an easy decision.Clinton was also drawn toAgriculture Secretary Tom

Vilsack, the former Iowa gover-nor who remained in the runninguntil the end. A person close tothe campaign, also speaking oncondition of anonymity to dis-cuss the private deliberations,said Clinton had a hard time notchoosing her longtime familyfriend and political loyalist.

Campaign chair John Podestastarted the process afterClinton’s convincing victory overDemocratic rival Bernie Sandersin April’s New York primary,dropping off binders of informa-tion with Clinton at her home inChappaqua, New York. The infor-mation on potential runningmates was delivered in a bag

from Duane Reade, a New Yorkdrug store.

As Clinton dealt with an up-and-down series of primary con-tests against Sanders, her teamdelved deeply into several poten-tial running mates, scouringpublic information and ultimate-ly asking a select few to providedetailed financial and personalinformation, and consent tointerviews.

The Associated Press

Americans increasingly favortougher gun laws by margins thathave grown wider after a steadydrumbeat of shootings in recentmonths, but they also are pes-simistic that change will happenanytime soon, according to a newAssociated Press-GfK poll.

Nearly two-thirds of respon-dents expressed support forstricter laws, with majoritiesfavoring nationwide bans on thesale of semi-automatic assaultweapons such as the AR-15 andon the sale of high-capacity maga-zines holding 10 or more bullets.

The percentage of Americanswho want such laws is the highestsince the AP-GfK poll started ask-ing the question in 2013, a surveytaken about 10 months after theSandy Hook Elementary Schoolshooting in Newtown,Connecticut, that killed 20 chil-dren and six educators.

High-profile shootings alsoappear to have taken a toll onAmericans’ sense of safety. Strongmajorities of those polledexpressed some degree of concernthat they or a relative will be a vic-tim of gun violence or a massshooting.

“If you live in the United Statesin these days right now, you haveto be concerned,” said MilonneAmbroise, a 63-year-old adminis-trative assistant from Decatur,Georgia. “You could be on thestreet somewhere. You could be ata shopping mall thinking therewill be a mass shooting and youwill be in the middle of it. Youcan’t not think about it.”

Ambroise, a native of Haiti whomoved to the U.S. nearly 50 yearsago, said she is now much morealert and on guard whenever sheis in public.

“I’m looking for exits. This isn’tsomething I did before,” she said.“What if I have to run? Where’sthe exit? Where would I go?”

The level of concern about beingvictimized is not uniform, howev-er. Nonwhites are significantlymore likely to be very or extremelyconcerned.

Alonzo Lassiter, 66, of subur-ban St. Louis worries that hisautistic 17-year-old son could bethe victim of gun violence, eitherby a robber or the police.

“If somebody told him to get onthe ground and put his hands up— or told him to give up his head-phones — he wouldn’t readilyidentify those instructions,” saidLassiter, who is black. “He may bean easy target.”

He said straw purchasers whobuy and then resell guns to ineli-gible felons and teenagers haveflooded some urban neighbor-hoods with firearms and need tobe stopped.

The poll was conducted July 7to July 11, shortly after a string ofhigh-profile shootings. Thatincluded the Orlando nightclub

massacre that left 50 dead,including the gunman, and 53others wounded, and the fatalpolice shootings of black men inMinnesota and Louisiana. Mostinterviews took place after thesniper attack that killed five offi-cers in Dallas.

A majority of respondentsexpressed a desire for a nationalapproach to gun laws, rather thana patchwork of state laws or localregulations, even thoughCongress has thus far failed to acton many of the initiatives the pollshowed Americans support. Yetless than half of respondents saidthey believe gun laws will indeedget tougher in the coming year.

By a 55 percent to 43 percentmargin, respondents said lawsthat limit gun ownership do notinfringe on the constitutional rightto bear arms. But the responsesalso revealed a partisan divide: 87percent of Democrats supportstricter gun laws compared with41 percent of Republicans.

Gender and geography areother dividing lines, the pollfound. Women and those who livein cities and suburbs are morelikely to support gun restrictionsthan men and those who live inrural areas.

Americans find commonground on other issues. Strongmajorities of Democrats andRepublicans said they supportrequiring background checks forpeople buying firearms at gunshows and through other privatesales. They also back a ban ongun sales to people on the federalterrorism watch list even if theyhave not been convicted of acrime.

“Why should it only be thedealers that have to do the back-ground checks? At gun shows,individual sellers should berequired to do the backgroundchecks so they don’t end up sell-ing them to the criminal ele-ment,” said John Wallace, a dis-abled Vietnam veteran and for-mer gun dealer who lives inLimestone, Maine, and owns sev-eral guns.

Despite the support for tightergun laws, majorities oppose ban-ning handguns, imposing anAustralia-style gun buyback pro-gram or making gun manufactur-ers or sellers liable if guns arelater used in a crime.

While 70 percent of people ingun-owning households favor uni-versal background checks, therewere stark differences in how gun-owning households and gun-freehouseholds view efforts to limitaccess.

Just 42 percent of those wholive in gun-owning households, forexample, support bans onassault-style guns and banninghigh-capacity magazines.

Kimberly Huebner is an excep-tion. The 43-year-old high schoolspecial education teacher fromSan Marcos, Texas, grew up in ahousehold with guns and learnedfirearms safety. She also believessome restrictions should beimposed, including a ban on AR-style firearms and high-capacitymagazines.

Her opinion has been shaped inpart by recent mass shootings,she said.

Huebner believes the SecondAmendment gives Americans theright to protect themselves againstthe government, but not neces-sarily the right to possess anyfirearm they choose, especiallywhen it comes to AR-platform longguns. Those types of firearms, shesaid, “just are not necessary.Nobody is using them to huntdeer.”

Instead, she said, some peoplehave a skewed view of the SecondAmendment.

“Like the Bible, they use it fortheir own arguments,” she said.“You can manipulate and twistarguments for your own benefits.”

She believes current laws needto be better enforced, specificallyciting gaps in enforcing back-ground checks.

Tentative deal in New Jersey

police shooting of black manNEWARK, N.J. (AP) — The fam-

ily of a black man killed by policein southern New Jersey in 2014has reached a tentative settle-ment in its federal lawsuit.

Details were filed Friday andmust be approved by a judge.

Thirty-six-year-old Jerame(JEH’-raym) Reid was shot by twoBridgeton police officers, oneblack and one white, after herefused their order to stay in hisvehicle.

A grand jury in CumberlandCounty declined to indict the offi-cers last summer.

Under the tentative settlement,Reid’s infant son would receiveabout $1.5 million in periodicpayments starting when he turns18.

Reid’s widow would receive$200,000, which includes legalfees. His mother and the motherof his child would each receive$70,000.

Bridgeton and its policedepartment deny liability.

Attorneys didn’t return mes-sages seeking comment.

Police leaders to back disbanding

polygamous town marshalsSALT LAKE CITY (AP) —

Federal prosecutors plan to bringa mix of law enforcement leadersand ex-sect members to a hear-

ing in which they’ll ask a judge todisband the police department ina polygamous community on theUtah-Arizona border.

The disintegration of the townmarshals is a proposed remedyafter a jury concluded the sistertowns of Hildale, Utah, andColorado City, Arizona, violatedthe constitutional rights of non-believers by denying them basicgovernment services such aspolice protection, building per-mits and water hookups.

The towns fiercely oppose theidea, saying problems at theagency don’t require such a dras-tic step.

The U.S. Department ofJustice’s list of 17 possible wit-nesses for a four-day hearing setto begin Oct. 24 hearing inPhoenix, submitted this week,include four high-ranking lead-ers in the counties in Utah andArizona that would assume polic-ing duties under the proposal.

Sheriff Cory Pulispher fromWashington County, Utah, andchief deputy Rodney Head fromthe Mohave County Sheriff’sOffice in Arizona will testifyabout why the town marshalsneed to be eliminated and theiragencies’ ability to take over thelaw enforcement duties, accord-ing to a court filing.

Washington County AttorneyBrock Belnap is scheduled to dis-cuss incidents with the townmarshals and current efforts tocoordinate policing and dispatchduties.

California governor denies

parole for Manson followerSACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) —

Leslie Van Houten, the youngestmember of the Manson “family”to take part in a series of grue-some California murders in1969, has been denied freedomagain — her past overshadowingher decades as a model prisoner.

California Gov. Jerry Brown onFriday overturned a parole boardrecommendation in April thatfound Van Houten, 66, was nolonger the violent woman whohelped slaughter a wealthy gro-cer and his wife.

The board noted that duringher 46 years in prison, VanHouten completed collegedegrees, ran self-help groups forother inmates and had a spotlessdisciplinary record.

Brown disagreed with theirconclusion.

“She remains an unacceptablerisk to society if released,” hewrote in a five-page review thatdenied Van Houten parole for the20th time.

Her lawyer, Rich Pfeiffer, saidhe expected Brown’s decisionbecause of the political pressureput upon him. He said he willchallenge the decision in LosAngeles County Superior Court,where he hopes Van Houten’sparole will fare better “becausethe judges and the courts haveless political pressure than doessomeone like the governor.”

The next parole hearing couldcome in as little as a year, Pfeiffersaid.

Support for stricter gun laws grows among Americans

TDOT abandons consideration of Soddy-Daisy toll bridge

CHATTANOOGA (AP) — TheTennessee Department ofTransportation has denied pro-posals to build a new toll bridgeacross the Tennessee River north-east of Chattanooga.

A Chattanooga newspaperreports TDOT determined that thetoll would need to be more expen-sive than most people would bewilling to pay and that growth inthe area around Soddy-Daisy innorthern Hamilton County hasbeen slower than expected.

Tennessee lawmakers in 2007passed legislation allowing TDOTto recommend up to two toll proj-ects in the state, one bridge andone road.

The original study performedon the proposed bridge nearSoddy-Daisy several years agofound that the span could be fea-sible, but more recent populationforecasting and surveys of resi-dents reversed those findings.

TDOT is halting any furtherwork on the project.

NATIONAL BRIEFS

NEW YORK (AP) — Her comput-er, Karin Strauss says, containsher “digital attic” — a place whereshe stores that published mathpaper she wrote in high school,and computer science schoolworkfrom college.

She’d like to preserve the stuff“as long as I live, at least,” saysStrauss, 37. But computers mustbe replaced every few years, andeach time she must copy theinformation over, “which is a littlebit of a headache.”

It would be much better, shesays, if she could store it in DNA— the stuff our genes are made of.

Strauss, who works atMicrosoft Research in Redmond,Washington, is working to makethat sci-fi fantasy a reality.

She and other scientists are notfocused in finding ways to stowhigh school projects or snapshotsor other things an average personmight accumulate, at least fornow. Rather, they aim to helpcompanies and institutionsarchive huge amounts of data fordecades or centuries, at a timewhen the world is generating digi-tal data faster than it can store it.

To understand her quest, ithelps to know how companies,governments and other institu-tions store data now: For long-term storage it’s typically disks ora specialized kind of tape, woundup in cartridges about three inch-es on a side and less than an inchthick. A single cartridge contain-ing about half a mile of tape canhold the equivalent of about 46million books of 200 pages apiece,and three times that much if thedata lends itself to being com-pressed.

A tape cartridge can store datafor about 30 years under idealconditions, says Matt Starr, chieftechnology officer of SpectraLogic, which sells data-storagedevices. But a more practical limitis 10 to 15 years, he says.

It’s not that the data will disap-pear from the tape. A bigger prob-lem is familiar to anybody whohas come across an old eight-track tape or floppy disk and real-ized he no longer has a machine toplay it. Technology moves on, anddata can’t be retrieved if themeans to read it is no longer avail-able, Starr says.

So for that and other reasons,long-term archiving requiresrepeatedly copying the data tonew technologies.

Into this world comes thenotion of DNA storage. DNA is byits essence an information-storingmolecule; the genes we pass fromgeneration to generation transmitthe blueprints for creating thehuman body. That information isstored in strings of what’s oftencalled the four-letter DNA code.That really refers to sequences offour building blocks — abbreviat-ed as A, C, T and G — found in theDNA molecule. Specific sequencesgive the body directions for creat-ing particular proteins.

Digital devices, on the otherhand, store information in a two-letter code that produces stringsof ones and zeroes. A capital “A,”for example, is 01000001.

Converting digital informationto DNA involves translatingbetween the two codes. In one lab,for example, a capital A canbecome ATATG. The idea is oncethat transformation is made,strings of DNA can be custom-made to carry the new code, andhence the information that codecontains.

One selling point is durability.Scientists can recover and readDNA sequences from fossils ofNeanderthals and even older lifeforms. So as a storage medium, “itcould last thousands and thou-sands of years,” says Luis Ceze ofthe University of Washington, whoworks with Microsoft on DNA datastorage.

Advocates also stress that DNAcrams information into very littlespace. Almost every cell of yourbody carries about six feet of it;that adds up to billions of miles ina single person. In terms of infor-mation storage, that compactnesscould mean storing all the pub-licly accessible data on the inter-net in a space the size of a shoe-box, Ceze says.

In fact, all the digital informa-tion in the world might be storedin a load of whitish, powdery DNAthat fits in space the size of a largevan, says Nick Goldman of theEuropean Bioinformatics Institutein Hinxton, England.

What’s more, advocates say,DNA storage would avoid theproblem of having to repeatedlycopy stored information into newformats as the technology forreading it becomes outmoded.

“There’s always going to be

someone in the business of mak-ing a DNA reader because of thehealth care applications,”Goldman says. “It’s always some-thing we’re going to want to doquickly and inexpensively.”

Getting the information intoDNA takes some doing. Once sci-entists have converted the digitalcode into the 4-letter DNA code,they have to custom-make DNA.For some recent research Straussand Ceze worked on, that involvedcreating about 10 million shortstrings of DNA.

Twist Bioscience of SanFrancisco used a machine to cre-ate the strings letter by letter, likesnapping together Lego pieces tobuild a tower. The machine canbuild up to 1.6 million strings at atime.

Each string carried just a frag-ment of information from a digitalfile, plus a chemical tag to indicatewhat file the information camefrom.

To read a file, scientists use thetags to assemble the relevantstrings. A standard lab machinecan then reveal the sequence ofDNA letters in each string.

Nobody is talking about replac-ing hard drives in consumer com-puters with DNA. For one thing, ittakes too long to read the storedinformation. That’s never going tobe accomplished in seconds, saysEwan Birney, who works on DNAstorage with Goldman at thebioinformatics institute.

But for valuable material likecorporate records in long-termstorage, “if it’s worth it, you’llwait,” says Goldman, who withBirney is talking to investorsabout setting up a company tooffer DNA storage.

Sri Kosuri of the University ofCalifornia Los Angeles, who hasworked on DNA information stor-age but now largely moved on toother pursuits, says one challengefor making the technology practi-cal is making it much cheaper.

Scientists custom-build fairlyshort strings DNA now forresearch, but scaling up enoughto handle information storage inbulk would require a “mind-bog-gling” leap in output, Kosuri says.With current technology, thatwould be hugely expensive, hesays.

George Church, a prominentHarvard genetics expert, agreesthat cost is a big issue. But “I’mpretty optimistic it can be broughtdown” dramatically in a decade orless, says Church, who is in theprocess of starting a company tooffer DNA storage methods.

For all the interest in the topic,it’s worth noting that so far theamount of information thatresearchers have stored in DNA isrelatively tiny.

Earlier this month, Microsoftannounced that a team includingStrauss and Ceze had stored arecord 200 megabytes. The infor-mation included 100 books —one, fittingly, was “GreatExpectations” — along with a brief

video and many documents. But itwas still less than 5 percent thecapacity of an ordinary DVD.

Yet it’s about nine times themark reported just last month byChurch, who says the announce-ment shows “how fast the field ismoving.”

Meanwhile, people involvedwith archiving digital data saytheir field views DNA as a possibil-ity for the future, but not a cure-all.

“It’s a very interesting andpromising approach to the stor-age problem, but the storageproblem is really only a very smallpart of digital preservation,” saysCal Lee, a professor at theUniversity of North Carolina’sSchool of Information and LibraryScience.

It’s true that society will proba-bly always have devices to readDNA, so that gets around theproblem of obsolete readers, hesays. But that’s not enough.

“If you just read the ones andzeroes, you don’t know how tointerpret it,” Lee says.

For example, is that string a

picture, text, a sound clip or avideo? Do you still have the soft-ware to make sense of it?

What’s more, the people incharge of keeping digital informa-tion want to check on it periodi-cally to make sure it’s still intact,and “I don’t know how viable thatis with DNA,” says EuanCochrane, digital preservationmanager at the Yale UniversityLibrary. It may mean fewer suchcheck-ups, he says.

Cochrane, who describes hisjob as keeping information acces-sible “10 years to forever,” saysDNA looks interesting if its costcan be reduced and scientistsfind ways to more quickly storeand recover information.

Starr says his data-storagedevice company hasn’t taken adetailed look at DNA technologybecause it’s too far in the future.

There are “always things out onthe horizon that could store datafor a very long time,” he says. Butthe challenge of turning thoseideas into a practical product“really trims the field down prettyquickly.”

Blake Kitterman will proba-bly be one of the youngest dele-gates at this week’s DemocraticNational Convention inPhiladelphia.

The 2015 Walker Valley HighSchool graduate and currentUTC student will be represent-ing the 4th CongressionalDistrict.

Kitterman also currentlyserves as president of theBradley County YoungDemocrats, an organization hehelped incorporate last year.

He told the Cleveland DailyBanner prior to his departurefor Philadelphia the major issuethe Democratic Party will haveto accomplish is unity.

“Not just unity for the party,but unity for the country,”Kitterman said. “What we sawout of the RepublicanConvention was a messageattempting to unify their partythrough a message of fear andhate.”

He said with the Democratshaving two strong candidates,especially with the fervor sup-porters of U.S. Sen. BernieSanders showed, it is “time forus to come together as a partyto defeat the xenophobic andhomophobic and racist messagethat is coming from the oppos-ing party.”

“I think, if anything, we aregoing to have to focus on themessage President Obama setin 2008 and that is hope —hope for the future, hope tocontinue the progress we’vemade these past eight years bygetting Democrats elected bothin federal offices and in stateand local offices,” he said.“Those are what I feel will be thebiggest factors at the conven-

tion.”Kitterman said he was “excit-

ed” to see Sanders support for-mer Secretary of State HillaryClinton in her bid for the nomi-nation and to see him “start apolitical revolution by pushingthe party platform left, mobiliz-ing many young voters andthose who are suffering fromvoter apathy.”

“If it comes down to anything,it’s diluted to the fact we have tounite and get behind a commoncause. That is defeating DonaldTrump and making sure everyAmerican has a voice represent-ed in all levels of government,”Kitterman said.

He said the Democrats doface some dangers is takingDonald Trump for granted asan opponent.

“I think the danger in that ispeople have underestimatedTrump,” he said. “He has uni-fied lots of people in theRepublican Party whose viewsare so backwards, derogatoryand demeaning to marginalizeclasses. I think we would beremiss if we did not considerhim a considerable threat.”

He said Democrats have alesson in acting as if they arealways ten points behind in thepolls.

“We have to keep that inmind,” Kitterman said. “Wedon’t know how Florida is goingto swing and I think evenGeorgia is on the list of potentialstates that could flip. Trump isthe Republican nominee and wehave to treat him as such.”

Kitterman says in his opinionthe Trump campaign “is a joke.”

“He’s offensive and he shoulddrop out. I don’t think he repre-sents American values, but thatwon’t stop me from making sureI canvass every weekend forHillary Clinton or doing phone

work for he because I have thatmindset that this election reallyis that important,” he said.

Kitterman said he believesDemocrats understand thedraw Tump has made in gain-ing his support.

“We saw it with BernieSanders,” he said. “People aretired of the same old politics.They’re tired of the same oldwhite men determining whatgoes on in the party and whatgoes on in our lives,” Kittermansaid. “I think voters don’t knowhow to react to that and that iswhy we have seen such a rise inBernie Sanders’ and DonaldTrump’s campaigns. We have totake those messages — thoseunderlying messages that areresonating with voters — anduse it to reform the party so wedo become the paty of the peo-ple.”

He said the delegates under-stand the county is “sick andtired of hundreds of years of thesame back door politics andthey have every right to bemad.”

“They have every single rightto be upset with the processand how it has failed thembecause it has failed people,”Kitterman said. “I believe theDemocratic Party understandsthat. I understand that.”

Another Bradley County resi-dent, Dennis Patrick, will alsobe a Democratic delegate repre-senting the 3rd CongressionalDistrict.

City Council set to considercraft beer restaurant option


The dining options in Clevelandcould be expanding if theCleveland City Council approves anew type of beer permit, whichwould allow for the manufactur-ing of craft beer.

A change being consideredMonday would create a craft beerrestaurant permit.

Business owner Smit Patel ishoping to open a microbreweryrestaurant. The restaurant wouldserve Indian food.

Cleveland Attorney JohnKimball said in a previous meet-ing of the Council that the currentcity ordinance prohibits manufac-turing of alcoholic beverages.

The ordinance would define acraft beer restaurant as “a restau-rant whose business includes theretail sale of craft beer manufac-

tured on the premises.”The facility would be required

to comply with restaurant codesand “be primarily a restaurant oran eating place” that can seat aminimum of 30 people accordingto the proposed ordinance “inbooths and at tables, in additionto any other seating it may have.”

Outdoor seating would be anoption.

“The outdoor seating area mustbe accessible from the inside ofthe restaurant or eating place andthe outdoor seating area musthave some type of enclosurearound it, such as a wall or fenc-ing. Seats in an open air or patioarea shall not count toward meet-ing the requirement of 30 interi-or seats required for this catego-ry of permit,” the ordinancestates.

The proposed ordinance doesnot state a limit as to how much

beer could be manufactured onsite. However, it does requirethat “the monthly beer sales ofany establishment which holdsa Class 6 Craft Beer RestaurantPermit shall not exceed 50 per-cent of the monthly gross salesof the establishment.”

Craft beer restaurants wouldbe required to submit quarterlysales reports to the city.

Patel said the restaurantwould be a similar businessmodel to the Big River Grille inChattanooga and Monkey TownBrewing Company in Dayton.

Patel hopes to locate therestaurant on 25th Street nearthe Title Max.

The Cleveland City Councilwill discuss the new beer permitduring its meeting Monday at 1p.m. in the Municipal Buildingon Church Street. The vote willtake place at 3 p.m.

schools, as well as after-schoolprogram facilities.

United Way of the OcoeeRegion’s President and CEO MattRyerson launched the volunteerday conclusion program byaddressing the corporate volun-teer teams.

“Every project site serves a veryspecial constituency and withoutyou, some of these things wouldnever get done. You are making ahuge difference for these organi-zations. Today, you’re serving asheroes to those people,” he said.

To volunteer on a regularbasis, you can visit www.volun-teerocoee.org.

Whirlpool Plant Manager DickyWalters helped Ryerson out of adifficult situation during a com-petitive event to award one of thevolunteers with a completekitchen.

Wendy Day of Cormetech, AmyTerry of Eaton, Trina Runyon ofAce Hardware, and Jamie Nicholsof Easy Auto were the contest-ants.

The task was to dress in schoolclothes, then reach the finish linein a peddle car.

Day and Terry were in a dead-heat at the finish line, with Dayjudged the winner. To helpRyerson, Walters and Whirlpoolalso award Terry with a kitchenstove as the runner-up.

Bradley County Director ofSchools Dr. Linda Cash and sev-eral of her administrators, teach-ers and students provided a pro-gram on the school system’s Read

20 Project.Several students paraded

across the stage with placardsabout their dreams, and whatthey would like to accomplishwhen they grow up.

Videos were also shown aboutthe importance of reading andgetting students proficient inreading by the third grade, a pri-ority of Bradley County Schoolsand other schools and educationprograms in the Cleveland andthe Ocoee Region.

North Lee second-graderHarrison Yost, the son of Danaand David Yost, provided a pres-entation on what reading hasmeant to him in his young life,touching on all the things he haslearned about people and theworld.

He was then called on byRyerson to assist in a fundraisingeffort for the county’s Read 20Program. He did an exceptionaljob in reading from the instantdisplay the names of contribu-tors. He did stumble just a littlewith former United Way ChairTanya Mazzolini, but Ryersonassured him others have had thesame difficulty.

Dr. Cash told the United Wayvolunteers, “We’re in awe of whatyou do.”

She then joined one of heradministrators, Sheena Newman,who is coordinating the students’Parade of Dreams. “These aresome of the dreams they’rethankful for,” she said.

“Everything we do and what

you do is investing in our chil-dren,” Cash continued. “We’reexcited we have the opportunityto give back.”

Cash said the school system’semphasis to improved the stu-dents’ reading proficiency fromless than 50 percent (by the thirdgrade) to 90 percent.

“If we can’t get them to be pro-ficient readers and to graduate,society loses,” Cash said.

She said more than 61 percentof low-income homes do not havemore than one book in the house.

“We want to increase the acces-sibility of books, and to educatefamilies about the importance ofreading.”

“We want to build (contribut-ing) citizens,” she added. “Twentyminutes reading to a child (eachday) is so valuable.”

Cash also thanked United Wayfor all its programs which helpfamilies and children in the com-munity.

In closing Friday’s program,Ryerson said, “Today is all aboutour community, and you allunderstand the importance ofvolunteers. The children whocame up here to tell you abouttheir dreams are a part of that.”

Ryerson said he was apprecia-tive of all the sweat volunteersproduced at Friday morning’smany assistance activities, andhe thanked Cash and her staff,Whirlpool officials, and ClevelandCommunity College President Dr.Bill Seymour who provided theinvocation.

A final thank-you went toUnited Way staff member KyleThompson, who organized thisyear’s Day of Action activitiesand the conclusion luncheon atnoon.

Department chief of staff CherylMills and Podesta, along with agroup of attorneys and top aides.

As the process entered July,Clinton scheduled a joint cam-paign event with Kaine inAnnandale, Virginia, where heshowed off his bilingual abilities,telling the audience, “Estamoslistos para Hillary!” — or “We’reready for Hillary.”

Clinton and Kaine met thatevening at her Washington homefor 90 minutes, and she invitedKaine and his wife, VirginiaEducation Secretary AnneHolton, to her home inChappaqua two days later. Thistime, lunch was served and theKaines joined Bill Clinton andthe Clintons’ daughter, Chelsea,and son-in-law, Marc Mezvinsky.

Kaine’s name remained at thetop of the speculation for vicepresident, but he kept his head

down, telling reporters that heenjoyed being senator. He start-ed the day of his selection at afundraiser in Boston and thentraveled to Newport, RhodeIsland, to headline a fundraiserfor the state’s Democratic sena-tor, Jack Reed.

Podesta and a small team ofcampaign aides, meanwhile,slipped out of their Brooklynheadquarters in a freight eleva-tor and flew to Rhode Islandaboard a private plane to meetKaine. When they arrived inNewport, they waited in their carin a beachfront parking lot —Podesta was wearing a suit anddidn’t want to draw suspicion.

The offer finally came in a 7:32p.m. EDT phone call fromClinton, who was in a holdingroom after wrapping up a rally atthe Florida state fairgrounds inTampa. Kaine took the call in a

shipyard office in Newportstrewn with rope and boatingequipment, and he quicklyaccepted.

During the call, Clinton jokedto her future running mate thatPodesta was “outside hiding” andready to brief him.

Kaine told Clinton, accordingto aides: “This is going to be thebeginning of a beautiful relation-ship and we’re going to have a lotof fun out there.”

While Clinton called Obama atthe White House to inform him ofher decision, Kaine’s aides saw alarge clutch of reporters outsideand tried to figure out how toleave without attracting atten-tion. They considered departingon a boat but instead switchedcars, piling into a Volvo, anddrove to Newport’s Viking Hotel,where Kaine’s wife had alreadychecked in.

BALTIMORE (AP) — Two out-side police departments are con-ducting investigations into theconduct of three Baltimore offi-cers who have been cleared of

criminal charges in the death ofFreddie Gray.

Montgomery County police,with the help of Howard Countyofficers, have launched reviews

to determine whether Lt. BrianRice and Officers CaesarGoodson Jr. and Edward Nerobroke department policy duringGray’s April 2015 arrest, the

Baltimore Sun reported(http://bsun.md/2aos66E).

Gray died a week after hisneck was broken while he washandcuffed and shackled but leftunrestrained in the back of apolice van.

So far, trials for four of the sixofficers charged in his deathhave led to three acquittals and amistrial. Internal investigationsinto the conduct of the other offi-cers will begin after their trialsconclude.

Baltimore PoliceCommissioner Kevin Davis saidthe departments will determinewhether the officers brokedepartment rules, and he willdecide whether to fire or other-wise discipline them. He said heasked the outside agencies toconduct the reviews because ofthe public concern over the high-profile case.

“I know how important it is tothe community to have faith andtrust in the internal disciplinarysystem of the police department,”Davis said. “To have a relation-ship built on trust in the commu-nity stems largely — not exclu-sively, but largely — on the time-liness and thoroughness of ourinternal investigations.”

Captain Paul Starks, aMontgomery County Policespokesman, couldn’t say howlong the reviews will take.

“We will conduct a thoroughand fair investigation by lookingat all of the evidence and inter-viewing anyone with informa-tion,” Starks said.

Obama denies U.S. involvement in failed Turkey coupWASHINGTON (AP) — President

Barack Obama on Friday deniedprior knowledge or involvement bythe U.S. in last week’s failed coupattempt in Turkey, saying reportsto the contrary are “unequivocallyfalse.”

Obama said he had made thatclear to Turkish President RecepTayyip Erdogan when they spokeby telephone earlier this week.Obama said he also stressed toErdogan that he ensure everyonein the Turkish government under-stands that any reports to thecontrary are untrue. Diplomaticrelations and the safety ofAmericans on the ground inTurkey could be at risk otherwise,the president said.

“Any reports that we had anyprevious knowledge of a coupattempt, that there was any U.S.

involvement in it, that we wereanything other than entirely sup-portive of Turkish democracy arecompletely false, unequivocallyfalse,” Obama said during a jointappearance at the White Housewith Mexican President EnriquePena Nieto.

“And I said that to PresidentErdogan. And I also said to himthat he needs to make sure thatnot just he, but everybody in hisgovernment understand thatthose reports are completely falsebecause when rumors like thatstart swirling around, the putsour people at risk on the groundin Turkey and it threatens what isa critical alliance and partnershipbetween the United States andTurkey.”

After the coup attempt, Obamaissued written statements

expressing strong support forTurkey’s democratically elected,civilian government. On Friday,he expressed concern over thecrackdown Erdogan has under-taken since the overthrow wasthwarted.

Turkey, a NATO ally, is a keyplayer in the U.S.-led coalitionfighting the Islamic State group.U.S. military jets use the Incirlikair base in southern Turkey toconduct air strikes against ISextremists in Syria and Iraq. TheU.S. Defense Department saidFriday that Turkey had restoredelectrical power to the base after itwas cut following the failed coup.The base had been operating on abackup generator since July 16.

Erdogan, meanwhile, hasblamed followers of U.S.-basedcleric Fethullah Gulen for master-

minding the uprising. He hasasked the U.S. to extradite Gulento Turkey. Gulen, who lives inself-imposed exile inPennsylvania, has denied anyknowledge of the attempted coup.

Obama said Friday that anydecision on whether to extraditeGulen “is not a decision that Imake.” He said it would be theend result of a long-standing,legal process for judging extradi-tion requests by a foreign govern-ment. The Justice and StateDepartments are reviewing mate-rial Turkey has provided the U.S.about the coup to determinewhether it amounts to a formalextradition request.

“I told President Erdogan thatthey should present us with evi-dence that they think indicatesthe involvement of Mr. Gulen or

anybody else who is here in theUnited States, and it would beprocessed the way that it isalways processed and that wewould certainly take any allega-tions like this seriously,” Obamasaid.

Since the botched attempt tooverthrow Erdogan, Turkey’s par-liament has approved a three-month state of emergency, givingthe president sweeping new pow-ers. Erdogan has said the state ofemergency will counter threats todemocracy. Critics are urgingrestraint out of fear that themeasure will violate basic free-doms.

The Turkish government hasimposed a crackdown, includingmass arrests and firings, and theclosing of hundreds of schoolsallegedly tied to Gulen.

A LoS AngeLeS County Fire water tender fire truck sprays down flames as they near the northboundHighway 14 during the Sand Fire in Santa Clarita on Friday. A wildfire north of Los Angeles has nowburned about 2.3 square miles of bone-dry hillside. The fire erupted shortly after 2 p.m. Friday next toState Route 14 in Santa Clarita. The freeway is partially closed along with a section of Metrolink traintrack. About 200 firefighters and a half-dozen aircraft are battling the flames in 106-degree heat.

California wildfires burn near Los Angeles and Big Sur

LOS ANGELES (AP) —Wildfires burned out of controlSaturday in mountains north ofLos Angeles and near Big Sur onCalifornia’s scenic CentralCoast, posing a threat to some1,300 homes and a sanctuary forexotic animals which was beingevacuated, authorities said.

Southern California firefight-ers faced another day of triple-digit heat from a dome of highpressure over the region, andwhile Central Coast tempera-tures were more moderate, con-ditions included winds and lowhumidity.

The fire in northern LosAngeles County grew to morethan 17 square miles, spreadingsmoke across the city and sub-urbs, reducing the sun to anorange disk at times.

The South Coast Air QualityManagement District warnedthat at times air would reachunhealthy levels.

The fire erupted Friday after-

noon in the Sand Canyon areanear State Route 14 as theregion was gripped by high heatand very low humidity.

About 300 homes were undermandatory or voluntary evacua-tions, but none had burned.

Hundreds of county andAngeles National Forest firefight-ers battled the blaze, aided bythree dozen water-dropping heli-copters and retardant-droppingairplanes.

U.S. Forest Service spokesmanNathan Judy said the fire wasjust 10 percent contained atmidday.

Some 400 animals were beingevacuated from the WildlifeWaystation, a nonprofit sanctu-ary for rescued exotic creatureswithin the national forest.

The sanctuary’s Facebookpage appealed for donations offlatbed and enclosed trucks aswell as an air-conditioned ware-house to house the animals.

Over many years, the sanctu-

ary has cared for thousands ofanimals ranging from lions andtigers to primates and exoticbirds.

Metrolink train service in thearea was halted Friday and onSaturday was subject to delays.

About 300 miles up the coast,California Department ofForestry and Fire Protection fire-fighters battled a nearly 3-square-mile blaze in ruggedmountains north of the majesticBig Sur region.

The blaze 5 miles south ofGarrapata State Park posed athreat to 1,000 homes and thecommunity of Palo Colorado wasordered evacuated, Cal Fire said.A middle school in Carmel-by-the-Sea was readied as an evac-uation center.

More than 300 firefighterswere on the lines.

Highway 1 and businesses inthe Big Sur area, a major sum-mer tourist destination,remained open.

Reviews underway for officers in police death case

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) —The Islamic State group hasclaimed responsibility for a sui-cide bombing on a peacefulprotest in the Afghan capital onSaturday that killed at least 80people and wounded more than200, marking the first time theextremists have struck Kabuland raising fears of their growingstrength and capability inAfghanistan.

The attack was the deadliest tohit Kabul in 15 years of civil war.It struck a demonstration byAfghanistan’s Hazara ethniccommunity, who were marchingfor a major regional power line tobe routed through their homeprovince. The Hazaras are ShiiteMuslims, most Afghans areSunnis.

Footage on Afghan televisionand photographs posted onsocial media showed a scene ofhorror and carnage, with numer-ous bodies and body partsspread across the square.Bloodied survivors were seenbeing dragged clear for help, oth-ers walked around dazed orscreaming.

Two suicide bombers hadattempted to target the demon-strators, but one of them wasshot by police before he coulddetonate his explosives, accord-ing to Haroon Chakhansuri, aspokesman for Afghan PresidentAshraf Ghani. He said that threecity district police chiefs wereinjured and another three securi-ty personnel were killed.

Witnesses said that immedi-ately after the blast, securityforces shot in the air to dispersethe crowd. Secondary attackshave been known to target peoplewho come to the aid of thosewounded in a first explosion.

Road blocks that had been setup overnight to prevent themarchers accessing the city cen-ter or the presidential palacehampered efforts to transfersome of the wounded to the hos-pital, witnesses said.

Angry demonstrators sealedsome of the area around the

square, and prevented police andother security forces from enter-ing. Some threw stones at securi-ty forces.

Outside hospitals, hugequeues forms as the publicoffered to donate blood.

The Afghan Interior Ministrysaid that 81 people had beenkilled and 231 wounded in thebombing. The ministry’s deputyspokesman, Najib Danish, saidthe blast was the biggest inAfghanistan since 2001, whenthe Taliban launched their brutalinsurgency after they were top-pled by the 2001 U.S. invasion.

According to the presidentialspokesman, Chakhansuri, theorganizers of the march had beenwarned of the possibility of anattack. “We had intelligence overrecent days and it was sharedwith the demonstration organiz-ers, we shared our concernsbecause we knew that terroristswanted to bring sectarianism toour community,” he said.

Senior Hazara leaders werenotably absent despite havingattended a similar protest inMay. The organizers could not beimmediately contacted for com-ment on Chakhansuri’s allega-tions.

The Islamic State groupclaimed responsibility for theattack in a statement issued byits news agency, Aamaq.

IS has had a presence onAfghanistan’s eastern borderwith Pakistan, mainly inNangarhar province, for the pastyear, but this is the first time theextremist group has struck theAfghan capital. The bombingraises concerns over IS’s growingcapabilities in Afghanistan.

Officials believe the fightersare made up of disaffectedTaliban insurgents and membersof Pakistani militant groups, andthat they receive some fundingand arms from IS in Syria andIraq.

In Nangarhar they have foughtTaliban fighters as well asAfghan security forces, some-times seizing control of whole

districts in the east of theprovince.

A surge in the number ofattacks worldwide linked to theIslamic State group has beenseen as an attempt to distractfrom a string of battlefield lossessuffered by the extremists inSyria and Iraq, where the bor-ders of their self-styled caliphateare shrinking. During the holymonth of Ramadan — whichended at the start of July — aseries of attacks, most linked tothe Islamic State group, killednearly 350 people in eight coun-tries.

President Ashraf Ghani hasannounced an upcoming militaryoffensive in Nangarhar, expectedto start within days, aimed ateliminating IS from the country.

The Taliban issued a state-ment denying involvement inSaturday’s attack, describing itas an attempt by IS to “ignite civilwar.” The statement may in partreflect the animosity between thetwo militant groups; Hazara wereespecially persecuted during the

Taliban’s extremist Sunni rulebetween 1996 and 2001.

President Ashraf Ghanideclared Sunday a day of nation-al mourning. He ordered a com-mission be set up to investigatethe incident and described theattack as a clear effort to divideShiites and Sunnis.

The Ministry of Interior issueda ban on “any kind of publicgathering and demonstration” forthe next 10 days. The move couldbe aimed at controlling any out-breaks of sectarian animosity.

The second most deadly attackto hit Kabul since 2001 also tar-geted Shiites and was seen as anattempt to stoke sectarian vio-lence. In 2011 a suicide bomberattacked worshippers markingAshura, when Shiites commemo-rate the death of the prophetMohammed’s grandson, killing70 people. That attack waslinked to a Pakistani militantgroup.

The commander of U.S. andNATO forces in Afghanistan, U.S.Army Gen. John Nicholson,

denounced the attack. He said ina statement that “We stronglycondemn the actions ofAfghanistan’s enemies of peaceand remain firmly committed tosupporting our Afghan partnersand the National UnityGovernment.” The U.S embassyin Kabul also issued a condem-nation.

In Washington, White Housespokesman Josh Earnest saidthe “heinous attack was made allthe more despicable by the factthat it targeted a peacefuldemonstration.” He said the U.S.and the international communitystand firmly with the Afghanpeople and their government “toconfront the forces that threatenAfghanistan’s security, stabilityand prosperity.”

The head of the United Nationsassistance mission inAfghanistan, TadamichiYamamoto, called the attack a“war crime” because it hadspecifically targeted a large num-ber of civilians. U.N. SecretaryGeneral Ban Ki-moon called it a

“despicable crime” that “targetedcitizens peacefully exercisingtheir fundamental humanrights.”

Violence had been widelyfeared at the Hazaras’ demon-stration, the second to take placeover the electric power line.

The so-called TUTAP powerline is backed by the AsianDevelopment Bank with involve-ment of Turkmenistan,Uzbekistan, Tajikistan,Afghanistan and Pakistan. Theoriginal plan routed the linethrough the Hazara heartland ofBamiyan province, but waschanged in 2013 by the previousAfghan government.

Leaders of the marches havesaid that the rerouting was evi-dence of bias against the Hazaracommunity, which accounts forup to 15 percent of Afghanistan’sestimated 30 million-strong pop-ulation.

They are considered the poor-est of the country’s ethnicgroups, and say they suffer per-vasive discrimination.

In thIs Photo taken on July 18, a Turkish Cypriot worker works at the Agios Panteleimonasmonastery, which is under restoration in Myrtou in the Turkish Cypriot northern part of the Mediterraneanisland of Cyprus. The first phase of work, supported by 725,000 euros ($800,000) in EU funds, seeks toreinforce sandstone walls in a compound that includes a church, monks’ residences and guesthouses.

Rebuilding peace

Cyprus restores derelict churches, mosquesMYRTOU, Cyprus (AP) — Seyfi

Tunelci long watched in sorrowas the derelict OrthodoxChristian monastery at Myrtou inCyprus’ overwhelmingly Muslimnorth crumbled before his eyes.Now he’s part of an island-wideteam toiling to repair themedieval building and dozens ofother Christian and Muslim sitesthat fell into ruin during decadesof ethnic division.

“Every stone that fell off thechurch hit a nerve inside me,”Tunelci said beside the scaffold-ing-encased monastery of AgiosPanteleimonas, where he andaround 20 other Turkish Cypriottownsfolk have spent monthsworking to shore up the chapelwalls, roof and belfry, stone bystone.

Like many Turkish Cypriots,62-year-old Tunelci fled north in1974 when Cyprus was dividedamid a Turkish invasion into abreakaway north and an ethni-cally Greek, internationally rec-ognized south. The constructionworker sees today’s EuropeanUnion-funded cultural reclama-tion efforts as important torebuild a sense of cross-commu-nity tolerance, common heritage— perhaps even eventual reunifi-cation.

Since 2008 a committee drawnjointly from both parts of Cyprushas identified monuments of cul-tural significance, mostly desert-ed centers of worship, to be res-urrected.

“It must be like this, because ifthey collapse, we would be angryat one another,” Tunelci said.“But if we rebuild them, we willbe friends again.”

The monastery, named afteran early Christian saintrenowned as a faith healer,

traces its foundation to the 5thcentury. After its monks andparishioners joined thousands ofGreek Cypriots fleeing south in1974, a Turkish army garrisonmoved in, followed by legions ofpigeons and snakes.

Agios Panteleimonas becameone of hundreds of Christiansites, including cemeteries,abandoned to vandals in thenorth, while scores of abandonedmosques and other Islamic sitesin the south fell into a similarstate of decay.

“These monuments should notbe the monuments of the otherethnic group anymore,” said AliTuncay, a Turkish Cypriot busi-nessman on the TechnicalCommittee on Cultural Heritage,as the project organizers areknown. “They are our commonheritage which should be pro-tected and preserved for futuregenerations.”

Tuncay says their crowningachievement so far has been aninter-faith agreement to restorethe Apostolos Andreas Monasteryon Cyprus’ northeast KarpasPeninsula. The site honors St.Andrew, one of Jesus’ disciples,who reputedly brought forth amiraculous spring on the spot forthe salvation of passing sailors.

Christians and Muslims alikemade the site a popular point ofpilgrimage and worship untilpartition 42 years ago. Year-oldreconstruction efforts are beingfunded directly by the two pri-mary Muslim and OrthodoxChristian authorities on Cyprus,not the EU, in an effort expectedultimately to cost 6 million euros($6.5 million).

The committee has identified40 sites for initial repair, followedby 80 more. Among the Muslim

sites on the Greek Cypriot sidealready restored are fourmosques, an Ottoman water milland a hammam — a heated bath-house.

“We have managed to learnabout each other better, to trusteach other, to learn each other’shistory,” said TakisHadjidemetriou, a Greek Cypriotpolitician on the committee. Hespoke on the site of a restoredmosque in the village of Deneia,which lies within the UnitedNations-supervised demilitarizedzone.

Hadjidemetriou said he hasgained greater appreciation foreach side’s emotional connectionboth to houses of worship andsecular historical sites, particu-larly a Venetian-era sandstonefort in Famagusta that providedthe climactic setting for WilliamShakespeare’s “Othello.” Sincethe 14th century the citadel hasloomed over Famagusta, Cyprus’eastern port. It fell to the Turkishside in 1974 and experienceddecades of decay. Restorationworks costing 1 million euros($1.1 million) were completedlast year.

Back in Myrtou, archeologistsand engineers are planning howbest to reclaim a monastery hitby erosion, water damage andoccupiers’ destructive white-washing of medieval frescoes.The hidden ceiling artworks haddepicted the lives of saints andother biblical scenes relevantboth to Christianity and Islam.

“These buildings are the realhistory of the Cypriot people,Turks and Greeks, together,”said Salih Onkal, a UnitedNations Development Programengineer overseeing the recon-struction.

Turkey seizes over 2,250 institutionsdeemed national security threat

ISTANBUL (AP) — In a new tac-tic against suspected coup plot-ters, Turkey on Saturdayannounced it had seized morethan 2,250 social, educational orhealth care institutions and facil-ities that it claims pose a threatto national security.

The health ministry saidpatients at hospitals that arebeing seized will be transferred tostate hospitals, highlighting thesweeping impact of the govern-ment’s crackdown after a failedJuly 15 coup attempt.

A top Turkish official alsoaccused some European coun-tries of downplaying the gravedanger posed by the failed insur-rection, an apparent response toWestern concerns about possiblehuman rights violations in thegovernment’s crackdown.

“Some European colleaguesthink this is a Pokemon game,this coup attempt,” said OmerCelik Turkey’s minister for EUaffairs. “Come here and see howserious this is. This is not some-thing we play in a virtual game.This is happening in real time inTurkey.”

President Recep TayyipErdogan also sharply criticizedconcerns that the large-scalepurges, which have left at least10,000 people in jail and about50,000 fired or suspended, couldjeopardize basic freedoms.Erdogan told France 24 onSaturday that Turkey has no

choice but to impose stringentsecurity measures, after theattempted coup that killed about290 people and was put down byloyalist forces and protesters.

“We are duty-bound to takethese measures. Our Westernfriends fail to see it that way. Icannot understand why,”Erdogan said. “I’m under theimpression that they will only seethat once all the political leadersof Turkey are killed, and thenthey’ll start to dance for joy.”

Turkey has imposed a three-month state of emergency anddetained or dismissed tens ofthousands of people in the mili-tary, the judiciary, the educationsystem and other institutions.Turkish leaders allege that sup-porters of a U.S.-based cleric,Fethullah Gulen, infiltrated stateagencies and groomed loyalists ina vast network of private schoolsas part of an elaborate, long-termplan to take over the country.

Gulen, a critic and former allyof Erdogan, has denied anyknowledge of the attemptedcoup.

Turkish officials say they willrespect the rule of law during thestate of emergency, althoughsome commentators have won-dered whether the purges aretargeting opponents of Erdoganwho had nothing to do with thecoup.

The Turkish treasury and astate agency that regulates foun-

dations have taken over morethan 1,200 foundations andassociations, about 1,000 privateeducational institutions and stu-dent dormitories, 35 health careinstitutions, 19 labor groups and15 universities, the state-runAnadolu news agency reportedSaturday.

Those institutions “belong to,have ties with or are in communi-cation with” the Gulen move-ment, according to a decree pub-lished Saturday in Turkey’s offi-cial gazette.

Turkey has criticized theUnited States for not immediatelyhanding over the cleric for prose-cution. President Barack Obamasays there is a legal process forextradition and has encouragedTurkey to present whatever evi-dence it has against Gulen.

Turkish judges, military per-sonnel, prosecutors and othercivil servants who have been dis-missed will lose any gun andpilot licenses and will have tovacate any publicly funded resi-dences where they live within 15days, according to the decree.Those dismissed cannot work inthe public sector and cannotwork for private security firms.

The decree also extended theperiod that suspects can bedetained without charge up to 30days. All detainees’ communica-tions with their lawyers can bemonitored upon order of the pub-lic prosecutor’s office.

A gIrl Puts down flowers in front of the Olympia shopping center were a shooting took placeleaving nine people dead the day before on Saturday, in Munich, Germany.

Police: Munich suspect wasobsessed with mass shootings

MUNICH (AP) — The gunmanwhose rampage at a Munich mallleft nine people dead was adepression-plagued teenagerwho avidly read books and arti-cles about mass killings andapparently tried to lure youngvictims to their deaths through afaked Facebook posting, author-ities said Saturday.

Information from witnessesindicated that his hatred of for-eigners might have played a rolein the mass shooting, eventhough he himself was theGerman-born son of Iranian asy-lum-seekers.

Most of the dead were youthsand all were Munich residents ofvaried ethnic backgrounds.Hueseyin Bayri, who witnessedone boy’s death, told TheAssociated Press the shooterscreamed a profanity about for-eigners and said “I will kill youall” as he pulled the trigger. Avideo shot of the perpetrator alsoshowed him yelling anti-foreign-er slurs.

The 18-year-old high-schoolstudent from Munich withIranian and German citizenshipalso wounded more than twodozen others Friday night beforeturning his illegal Glock 17 pis-tol on himself, ending a shootingrampage that could have becomeeven more tragic.

Police told reporters that asearch of the red backpack lyingnext to his black-clad corpserevealed that the shooter wascarrying more than 300 roundsfor the 9-millimeter handgun heused to kill his victims.

The filed-off serial numbers ofthe Glock made it difficult toestablish its origin. But investi-gators said the gunman, identi-fied by German officials only asDavid S., had no permit to carryit.

One victim was 45, another 20and the rest were between 14and 19, Munich police chiefHubertus Andrae said.

The fact that most of the deadwere so young added to whatChancellor Angela Merkel called“an evening and night of horror.”

It started as a normal Fridayevening. A Munich mall wasbuzzing with shoppers, andacross the street, customerswere enjoying a meal at aMcDonald’s restaurant.

Earlier that day, the shooterhacked a Facebook account andsent a message inviting people tocome to the mall for a giveaway,said Robert Heimberger, thehead of Bavaria’s criminal police.

Investigators say they are stilllooking for a motive for theattack but Munich prosecutorThomas Steinkraus-Koch notedthe gunman apparently wasundergoing psychiatric treat-ment for problems includingdepression. Interior MinisterThomas de Maiziere said author-ities were checking reports theteen may have been bullied byhis peers.

Witnesses and a dramatic cell-phone video that police think isgenuine indicated the gunmanwas unstable and disliked for-eigners.

The shooter yelled anti-for-eigner slurs both at a personverbally sparring with him froma balcony, which was caught onfilm by a neighbor, and later alsoinside the mall.

At another point, he yells, “I’mGerman!” to which the man onthe balcony, identified by theBild newspaper as ThomasSalbey, a 57-year-old construc-tion worker, responds, “You are ajerk!” and demands to knowwhat he is up to, saying “youshould be in psychiatric care.”The gunman orders the filmingto stop, and shortly after thatstarts shooting, causing theneighbor filming to duck.

Law enforcement officialsthink the Munich tragedy couldbe a copy-cat attack, consideringit was carried out on the fifthanniversary of the killing of 77people by Norwegian right-wingextremist Anders BehringBreivik, whose victims includeddozens of young people.

A search of the shooter’s homeovernight revealed a trove of lit-erature about mass killings,including a German-languagetranslation of the English book“Why Kids Kill: Inside the Mindsof School Shooters.”

De Maiziere said the shooterhad researched a 2009 schoolshooting in Germany as well asthe Breivik attack.

“There was material found inthe apartment of the suspectthat showed a particular interestin shooting sprees,” de Maizieresaid.

But there was no evidencethat he was linked to extremistgroups such as the Islamic Stategroup, law enforcement officialstold reporters, adding theybelieve the gunman acted alone.

Merkel called a special meet-ing Saturday of her govern-ment’s security Cabinet andpledged afterward that Germanywould “do everything possible to

protect the security and freedomof all people,” saying that, in thewake of a train attack nearWuerzburg and the truck attackin Nice, she understoodGermans are wondering “Whereis safe?”

“Such an evening and such anight is difficult to bear,” shesaid of the Munich attack. “Andit’s even more difficult to bearbecause we have had so muchterrible news in so few days.”

Munich residents describedscenes of chaos and panic as theshooting unfolded andbystanders ran for cover.

“I was standing on the balconysmoking a cigarette. Suddenly Iheard shots,” said FerdinandBozorgzad, who lives in a high-rise building next to the OlympicShopping Center mall. “First Ithought someone had thrownsome firecrackers. I looked downat the McDonald*s and sawsomeone shooting into thecrowd. Then I saw two peoplelying there. “

Franco Augustini, anotherresident, said his daughter hidin the mall during the attack.

“Next to our flat was a womanwho was full of blood,” Augustinisaid. “My wife had a bottle ofwater. Then we helped to washher. It was horrible and made mespeechless.”

Some 2,300 police from acrossGermany and neighboringAustria were scrambled inresponse to the attack. It wasthe second targeting victimsapparently at random in lessthan a week in Bavaria.

On Monday, a 17-year-oldAfghan asylum-seeker woundedfive people in an ax-and-kniferampage near Wuerzburg, forwhich the Islamic State grouphas claimed responsibility.

Despite the shooter having noapparent Islamic extremist links,Muslims in Germany werealready fearing a backlash.

“I started to get texts fromfriends asking if I was safe,” saidIranian David Akhavan, whoworks in a Persian restaurant inMunich. “Then, my thoughtswere: Please, don’t be a Muslim.Please don’t be Middle Eastern.Please don’t be Afghan. I don’taccept any of this violence.”

Munich’s mayor, Dieter Reiter,declared a day of mourning forthe victims.

“These are difficult hours forMunich,” he said, adding thatresidents had shown great soli-darity toward each other. “Ourcity stands united.”

Floods kill at least 154 across China, leave scores missingBEIJING (AP) — Torrential

rains that have swept throughChina have killed at least 154people and left 124 missing, offi-cials said Saturday, with most ofthe casualties reported from anorthern province where vil-lagers complained about lack ofwarning before a deadly flashflood.

The rains, which began onMonday, have flooded streams,triggered landslides anddestroyed homes across thecountry. Most of the fatalitieswere reported in the northern

province of Hebei, where theprovincial Department of CivilAffairs said 114 people werekilled and 111 others were miss-ing.

More than 300,000 peoplewere evacuated in Hebei, and theprovince made another round ofappropriations of tents, blankets,rain boots and generators, thedepartment said.

In the Hebei city of Xingtaialone, 25 people were killed andanother 13 were missing.

The Xingtai village of Daxianwas swamped by a flash flood

early Wednesday as residentswere asleep. Eight people,including three children, werekilled and another was missingin the flood, according to theXingtai government.

But the tragedy did not surfaceuntil Friday, when accounts,purportedly by local residents,began surfacing on Chinesesocial media of angry villagersblocking roads, accusing thelocal authorities of failing to noti-fy them in time for evacuationwhen an upstream reservoir dis-charged the floodwaters.

Hungary’s Viktor Orban says Trumpbetter for Europe on anti-terrorism

BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) —The anti-terrorism proposals ofU.S. Republican presidentialcandidate Donald Trump makehim the better option for Europeand Hungary, Prime MinisterViktor Orban said Saturday.

Orban, who has built razor-wire border fences to stopmigrants, said in Romania thatTrump’s ideas about the need forthe best intelligence services andhis opposition to “democracyexport” were also applicable inEurope.

“I am not Donald Trump’scampaigner,” the Hungarianleader said at a cultural event inBaile Tusnad, Romania, an areawith a large Hungarian popula-tion. “I never thought that theidea would ever occur to me thathe is the better of the openoptions for Europe and Hungary.

“I listened to (Trump) and Ihave to tell you that he madethree proposals to stop terrorism.And as a European, I myselfcould not have drawn up betterwhat Europe needs.”

Orban, who returned to powerin 2010, has often been criticizedby the European Union, the

United States and others for hispolicies to centralize power, con-trol civic groups and increasegovernment influence overmedia.

Democratic presidential con-tender Hillary Clinton visitedHungary in 2011 as secretary ofstate, and expressed U.S. con-cerns over the independence ofits courts and the press and gov-ernment corruption.

Orban, whose speech wasbroadcast live on Hungarianstate media, blamed the West forintervening unsuccessfully incountries like Egypt and Libya.While Hungary was not “indiffer-ent” to the state of political andhuman rights in Turkey, he saidits stability was most important.

“If I’m asked what is Hungary’sstrongest expectation regardingTurkey today, we will put stabili-ty first,” Orban said. “If Turkeybecomes unstable, many tens ofmillions of people from thatregion will hurtle toward Europewithout any sort of filtering,screening or control.”

Orban was again very criticalof the EU leadership in Brussels.

“Europe’s current political

leadership has failed,” Orbansaid, adding that the EU was“fooling itself” if it still vieweditself as a “global actor,” sayingthat era had ended with the voteby Britain to leave the 28-nationbloc.

Orban again said individualcountries in Europe should havemore authority to make their owndecisions on specific issue likemigration.

“Our problem is not in Meccabut in Brussels,” Orban said.“The bureaucrats in Brussels arean obstacle for us, not Islam.”

Answering questions after hisspeech, Orban said Europe need-ed to set up its own army.

“A European army must pro-tect the continent from two sides,from the east and from the south,in terms of protecting against ter-rorism and migration,” Orbansaid, according to his office.

Orban did not directly addresscomments by Trump that calledinto question U.S. commitmentsto NATO’s mutual defense clause,but said he had changed hismind about NATO being enoughin its current form to ensure thepeace in Europe.

‘Merciless’ heat, humidity sticks to nearly all of U.S.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Call itthe United Sweats of America. Aheat wave spreading across thecountry is leaving few places tohide. Not even the cool of night.

By Friday afternoon, all butone of the Lower 48 states hadhit 90 degrees somewhere, withonly Washington around forcooler comfort. For much of thecountry, it was expected to geteven worse over the weekend.

“It’s just day after day.Merciless,” said Jeff Masters,meteorology director of the pri-vate Weather Underground. “Wedon’t often see this much of thecountry this hot for this lengthof time.”

And while the extra hot weath-er will ease a bit next week forgood chunks of the country, thetemperature forecast for the nextthree months isn’t exactly prom-ising, according to the NationalOceanic and AtmosphericAdministration.

For the first time in more than20 years, the Climate PredictionCenter map is shades of onecolor: orange for above normaltemperatures.

The map usually varies, show-ing places where there is agreater chance for above orbelow normal temperatures orequal chances. But the outlookfor August, September andOctober is for above normaleverywhere.

Center climate scientist DanCollins said the center’s archivesgo back to 1995 and they’venever seen this for the entireUnited States — includingAlaska and Hawaii. That doesn’tmean a three-month heat wave,just on average warmer thannormal temperatures throughOctober.

“Unusual indeed,” Collinssaid. “But maybe less so as theyears pass.”

Scientists haven’t calculated ifman-made global warming fromthe burning of fossil fuels is afactor in the current heat wave,but said it has been a factor in

most recent ones and a goodchance here, too.

What’s happening now is aridge of high pressure has justspread over almost the entireUnited States. That keeps cloudsand cooling away, and justpushes warm air down.

Add to that the humidity,which makes everything feelstickier. It’s coming with warmerocean water, especially from ahotter-than-normal Gulf ofMexico, Masters said.

The high heat and humiditywill move from the Corn Belttoward the Southeast over theweekend, according to theNational Weather Service.

On Monday, the weather serv-ice forecasts that nearly all ofthe Lower 48 states could hit 95on the heat index , which factorsin humidity. And about 30 statesare forecast to hit 100.

The high temperature aver-aged for the Lower 48 states was92 degrees on both Thursdayand Friday, the warmest sinceJune of 2012, said meteorologistRyan Maue of the privateWeatherBell Analytics service.

Not even the cool of night ishelping because temperaturesaren’t dropping as much as theynormally do. That’s a healthissue because the human bodyrelies on the evening coolness forrelief, said Greg Carbin, a fore-cast chief for the weather ser-vice’s Weather Prediction Center.

Heat waves like this one “arekinda like the home run statisticin steroid-fueled baseball,”University of Georgia meteorolo-gy professor Marshall Shepherdsaid in an email. “Sure heatwaves always happened natural-ly (like home runs in baseball)but the statistics are shifting tomake them more likely and morefrequent within a warmer back-ground climate.”


Alyson Butler glad to be home

Former lady mustangs’ star is nowstanding out in medical field as PA

By SARALYN NORKUSBanner Sports Writer

Editor’s Note: This is partthree of a four-part July serieschecking in with former localathletes.

“What is success? I think it isa mixture of having a flair forthe thing that you are doing;know that it is not enough, thatyou have got to have hard workand a certain sense of purpose,”said former British PrimeMinister Margaret Thatcher.

A decade has passed sinceWalker Valley basketball super-star Alyson Butler graced thefloors of “The Stable.”

“Ten years, can you believeit?,” Butler exclaimed. “They aretrying to get (a reunion) togeth-er in town and I’m like, has itreally been that long?”

The former Lady Mustang,who was referred to by then-coach David Tucker as the bestplayer he’d ever coached, mostassuredly deserved every acco-lade she racked up. It alsomakes sense that Butler’s num-ber, 22, has been retired.

During four years at WalkerValley, the 5-foot-11 guardscored a total of 2,159 careerpoints, which still has her inthe record books as the all-timeleading scorer in the school’shistory. The Lady Mustangswent 111-25 while Butler wasplaying, reaching the SweetSixteen three times and playingin the Final Four during herjunior year.

“As far as my athletic careerthere, I had great coaches andwe did well throughout my fouryears,” Butler commented. “Wewon quite a bit of games andwere always competitive. Welost in the semi-finals my junioryear, so I wish I could go backto that day and maybe score afew more points so that we’dmake it to the finals.”

MVP, All-District, All-Region,All-State, Best of Preps All-AreaPlayer of the Year; the list ofhonors that Butler earned dur-ing her high school career couldfill up this whole story. Shewasn’t just on the state’s radar,Butler was also a Wendy’s HighSchool All-American nomineeand McDonald’s All-AmericanHeisman nominee. Butler, whoparticipated in soccer, tennisand cross country at some pointduring her high school career,was a 4.0 student who graduat-ed seventh in her 2006 classwith a multitude of academichonors.

While excelling both on thecourt and in the classroom, thetalented hoopster garneredattention from some top tier col-lege basketball programs likeUTC, Belmont, Miami, Clemsonand a number of SEC schools.

There was ultimately one SECschool in particular that cap-tured Butler’s attention andultimately commitment — TheUniversity of Alabama.

“I went ahead and committedprior to my senior year. It wasone of the top conferences inwomen’s basketball — (I loved)their rich athletic tradition,

academically they have goodprograms and I know it soundssilly, but I loved the campus,”she explained.

Butler’s first two season play-ing for the Crimson Tidewere hindered by astring of bad luck on theinjury front.

“I did have a fewinjuries, so I wentthrough a lot of rehab incollege. I had a rightankle reconstructionand then I had a leftshoulder, labral tear.During my freshmanyear I got mono andthen I had surgery after. I wentthrough rehab and was plan-ning on coming back my sopho-more year, but then startedhaving shoulder dislocations inpractices, and they told me thatI had to get it fixed. I redshirtedmy sophomore year,” Butler

said.Having recouped from her

injuries, Butler played her jun-ior and senior seasons, lovingthe experiences that playing

college ball presentedher.

“It was a great experi-ence to play in the SEC.There were so manyexperiences; we got to goto tournaments in placeslike the Bahamas. It wasdefinitely a job, but Ienjoyed it over the time Iwas there.”

At Alabama, Butlerplayed a total of 87

games and had 408 points.Despite having the option to

play a fifth year, Butler decidedthat her time playing basketballhad come to a close and beganto hone in on her new goal:becoming a physician assistant(PA).

“As a young kid I wanted tobe an elementary teacher andcoach. As I got older, and it wasreally in college, my best friendhad a family member that was aPA and talked to me about it. Ithought, well I want to do some-thing medical whether it’s phys-ical or occupational therapy,but after I had my first surgery,I was interested in becoming aPA,” Butler detailed. “It waslater in college that I reallydecided that I liked this field —its medicine, there are a lot ofspecialties.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Clemson starquarterback Deshaun Watson is driven bythe goal of winning another Atlantic CoastConference championship and returning tothe College Football Playoff’s title game.

He also knows the Tigers’ biggest obstaclesits in their division: Florida State.

“We have to start over,” Watson said Fridayat the ACC Kickoff preseason media days.“Last year’s wins, touchdowns or stops isn’tgoing to do anything for us this year. Weknow we have a target on us and we have togo 10 times harder to get where we want to gothis year than we did last year.”

Make no mistake: the Tigers andSeminoles are dominating the league in addi-tion to the Atlantic Division home they share.They have won the past five ACC champi-onship games. They haven’t lost a game toanother division opponent in approachingfour years. Both have carried an unbeatenrecord into the four-team playoff to followFSU’s national-championship season in2013.

And for the record, they meet Oct. 29 inTallahassee, Florida.

“That’s a game that the fans and the play-

ers, our whole staff looks forward to,” saidFSU’s Dalvin Cook, who led the league with1,691 yards rushing last year. “They recruittalent just like we do. ... That’s just becomingone of the rivalries, between Florida Stateand Clemson — and I love it.”

While the ACC’s Coastal Division annuallyfeatures a revolving door at the top and off-target preseason predictions, Clemson andFlorida State have left little doubt aboutwho’s in control in the Atlantic.

Clemson’s 23-13 home win last seasonsnapped a three-game skid against FloridaState. But the teams have combined to go 57-3 against the rest of the league — Clemson is28-1 and FSU is 29-2 — dating to the start ofthe 2012 season.

FSU’s 17-16 loss at North Carolina State inOctober 2012 was the only loss by eitherteam to another Atlantic opponent duringthat time.

N.C. State coach Dave Doeren has seenthat gap up close. His Wolfpack hung rightwith the Seminoles and Tigers at home overthe past two years in shootout losses, only tosee the then-No. 1 squads assert control bythe fourth quarter.

Last year the Wolfpack led the Tigers 20-19late in the first half before losing 56-41, thesame score as the loss to Jameis Winstonand FSU a year earlier.

“I think their depth is what makes themdifferent than everybody else,” said Doeren,who is entering his fourth season. “I think allof us have some really good players. They’rein a position now because of the recruitingclasses they’ve had back-to-back-to-backand the longevity those coaches have had —they’ve both been in the league quite a whilenow where their whole team is theirs andthen some.

“They can lose a guy and the next guycomes off the bench and doesn’t look any dif-ferent. Most of us can’t do that.”

Louisville would appear to be the best con-tender to crack the Atlantic’s top two withnine returning starters, including mobilequarterback Lamar Jackson, from an eight-win team that beat Texas A&M in the MusicCity Bowl.

The rest of the division is murky.N.C. State has some key returnees at skill

Hall’s busy summer paysoff with Sneds Tour honor

By RICHARD ROBERTSBanner Sports Editor

It's been a busy but productivesummer for Rheagan Hall. Therising junior at Cleveland HighSchool has been working hard tosharpen her golf game and aftertaking second place at the sea-son-ending Sneds TourChampionship, her efforts werevalidated with an unexpectedhonor when she was namedSneds Tour Player of the Year.

“I was very honored and sur-prised when they called myname. I didn't know I was gettingit,” said the straight hitter.

Hall, who's average score hov-ers around 70.5 per round,received the honor for the 16-18-year old girls group. Averages arefigured on how a golfer plays allyear long. The top three playersare selected for their averagesand the winner is chosen fromthat group.

“I did my best ever this yearwith a 69 at WillowBrook. I wasreally excited about that,” shesaid. “Going into the tournamentI just wanted to have fun with thegirls I was playing with and I didhave fun those days. The girl whowon was really good, — AngelinaChan, from Nashville — she real-ly deserved to win. She playedreally good both days.”

The 69 at WillowBrook was thefirst of two rounds of 3-under parHall has carded this season. Thesecond came in Friday's finalround at Cleveland Country Clubin the two-day Junior ClubChampionship.

Hall took the winner's trophywith rounds of 71 and 69.

She said her days have beenloaded with golfing dates so with

the new school year just aroundthe corner, she will take a fewdays off to recharge before jump-ing back into competition in theBradley Invitational at ClevelandCountry Club in one week toopen the season.

“This week I'm taking a break.I have no golf tournaments. ThenI have the Bradley Invitational forhigh school teams August 1. Thatwill be my next tournament,” shesaid.

As a rising junior, thoughts ofa post-high school college careeris slowly beginning to take shape.But, Hall feels there is no hurryto make a decision right awayand admitted she has no particu-lar school in mind as of rightnow.

“I just want to keep playingsolid golf. I'm playing pretty goodright now. I want to continue toget better and I want to figure outwhat college I want to go to. Rightnow I have no clue,” she saidwith a smile.

For the next few days, Hall iscontent to hone her skills andsaid the strongest part of hergame is the short game.

“I work a lot on that. Thesepast two days at the Junior ClubChampionship I made a lot ofputts that were crucial.Practicing my putting has paidoff which is nice to see,” sheacknowledged.

Right now, although she isrelaxing a bit, Hall is also begin-ning to focus on the upcominggolf season and is excited to havefour new players on the LadyRaiders' team this year.

“I love school golf and this yearwe have six girls on our golf team

Cousins looks to make most ofchance with U.S. basketball team

(AP) — DeMarcus Cousins con-siders the thought, and one ofthe NBA’s most recognizablescowls quickly turns into a brightsmile.

Without saying a word, it’sclear he agrees: For the first timeunder Mike Krzyzewski, the U.S.Olympic basketball team has agenuine offensive weapon in themiddle.

The Americans might evenhave the best center in the world.

Cousins had 14 points and 15rebounds in just 16 minutes ofthe Americans’ exhibition opener,

a 111-74 victory over Argentina.The Sacramento Kings star canscore inside and out, and givesthe U.S. a dimension it hasn’thad while winning the last twogold medals.

“DeMarcus is going to be aforce in Rio,” teammate KlayThompson said.

The center spot has almostbeen an afterthought on recentU.S. teams, who much preferredplaying small to pounding theball inside. Then again, none hada “bulldog” like Cousins, as KevinDurant called him.

“There’s been a lot of great bigscome through this program, soI’m blessed to be in this situa-tion,” Cousins said. “I’m honoredto be in this situation. I’m notreally in it to say who’s the bestat what position, I’m just here tohelp the team win. So we’ve gotone goal in mind, which is thegold, and that’s only thing I’mfocused on right now.”

Along with that gold, Cousinscould bring back something elsefrom the Olympics.

His NBA career has been sixseasons of bad teams and badmoods, the constant losing inSacramento and the chaos in theorganization often overshadow-ing his play. He doesn’t hide hisunhappiness, and many times ifhe’s not shouting, it’s onlybecause he’s sulking.

The 6-foot-11 center out ofKentucky averaged a career-high26.9 points last season, fourth inthe NBA, and was fifth in theleague with 11.5 rebounds pergame. But the Kings missed theplayoffs again, as they have everyseason since taking Cousins withthe No. 5 pick in the 2010 draft,and his bickering with coachGeorge Karl generated moreheadlines than anything he orthe Kings did on the court.

Now he’ll spend a montharound a team that does nothingbut win, and maybe that mental-ity will rub off on him.

“It can only help him,” USABasketball chairman JerryColangelo said.

“I think all the players whoplay for us are better people for

RUSSIAN SPORTS MINISTER Vitaly Mutko speaks to the media in Moscow, Russia, Thursday. Mutkosays the country’s athletes who are banned from competing in next month’s Olympics in Rio de Janeirocould go to a civil court to try and overturn the ban.

Decision time: IOCpoised to rule onRussia’s Rio status

LONDON (AP) — As the clockticks down to the opening cere-mony in Rio de Janeiro, interna-tional Olympic leaders are fac-ing a seminal moment.

With the credibility of thefight against doping on the lineand the image of the Olympicmovement at stake, the IOC willhold a crucial meeting Sundayto consider whether to banRussia entirely from the RioGames because of systematic,state-sponsored cheating.

Short of a blanket ban, theInternational OlympicCommittee could leave it to indi-vidual sports federations todecide on a case-by-case basiswhether to allow Russian ath-letes in their events.

The doping crisis representsone of the Olympic movement’sbiggest challenges since theboycott era of the 1980s, andhow it plays out may well defineThomas Bach’s IOC presidency.

The IOC’s ruling 15-memberexecutive board will meet viateleconference to weigh theunprecedented step of excludingRussia as a whole from thegames. Bach and others havespoken of a need to balance“individual justice” versus “col-lective punishment.”

Time is of the essence, withthe games set to open in Rio onAug. 5.

Russia’s track and field ath-letes have already been bannedby the IAAF, the sport’s govern-

ing body, following allegations ofstate-directed doping — a deci-sion that was upheld Thursdayby the Court of Arbitration forSport.

Calls for a complete ban onRussia have intensified sinceMonday when Richard McLaren,a Canadian lawyer commis-sioned by the World Anti-DopingAgency, issued a report accus-ing Russia’s sports ministry ofoverseeing a vast doping pro-gram of its Olympic athletes.

McLaren’s investigation,based heavily on evidence fromformer Moscow doping labdirector Grigory Rodchenkov,affirmed allegations of brazenmanipulation of Russian urinesamples at the 2014 WinterGames in Sochi, but also foundthat state-backed doping hadinvolved 28 summer and wintersports from 2011 to 2015.

Bach said the findingsshowed a “shocking andunprecedented attack on theintegrity of sports and on theOlympic Games” and declaredthe IOC “will not hesitate to takethe toughest sanctions availableagainst any individual or organ-ization implicated.”

Russia also faces a possibleban from the ParalympicGames. Citing evidence inMcLaren’s report of dopingamong Russian Paralympic ath-letes, the InternationalParalympic Committee saidFriday it will decide next month

whether to exclude the countryfrom the Sept. 7-18 event in Rio.

The decision for the IOC isloaded with geopolitical ramifi-cations.

Never has a country beenkicked out of the Olympics fordoping violations. And VladimirPutin’s Russia is a sports pow-erhouse, a huge country seekingto reaffirm its status on theworld stage, and a major playerin the Olympic movement. Manyinternational Olympic officialsand federation leaders haveclose ties to Russia, which hasportrayed the exclusion of itstrack athletes and calls for acomplete ban as part of a politi-cal, Western-led campaign.

Putin, citing the U.S. andSoviet-led boycotts of the 1980and 1984 Games, said theOlympic movement “could onceagain find itself on the brink of adivision.”

Former Soviet leader MikhailGorbachev wrote an open letterto Bach on Friday to pleadagainst a blanket ban.

“I am worried and deeplyupset by the possibility that inthe case of a ban on Russianathletes competing in theOlympics, the innocent will bepunished along with the guilty,”Gorbachev wrote. “For me theprinciple of collective punish-ment is unacceptable.”

Ken griffey Jr., Mike Piazza set to enter hall of fameCOOPERSTOWN, N.Y. (AP) —

When they were drafted nearlythree decades ago, one was oneverybody’s baseball radar, theother a blip at best, pickedalmost as an afterthought in thefinal round thanks to a recom-mendation by an important fam-ily friend.

That their baseball pathsstarted so differently — theSeattle Mariners made KenGriffey Jr. the first pick of the1987 amateur draft and a yearlater the Dodgers selected MikePiazza on the 62nd round withthe 1,390th pick, ahead of onlyfive other players — in the enddidn’t matter one bit. Two play-ers who wore their hats back-ward a lot — one for fun, theother because he had to — andleft indelible imprints on thegame will be rewarded Sundaywith induction into the BaseballHall of Fame.

“It’s incredibly powerful,” saidPiazza, by far the lowest draftpick in history elected to theHall. “This whole year for me hasbeen so euphoric. It’s such anhonor.”

Dubbed “The Natural” for hiseffortless excellence at the plateand in center field, Griffey, thefirst No. 1 pick to be selected forenshrinement, hasn’t followedform since his selection inJanuary. He’s been feted inSeattle, which likely still has amajor league team because of histenure there, served as honorarystarter for NASCAR’s biggestrace, the Daytona 500, andplayed a lot of golf to avoid think-ing or talking about his induc-tion.

When he visited Cooperstownin late May for a mini-orienta-tion, Griffey chose not to take thecustomary introductory tour ofthe Hall that’s become sort of atradition in recent years. He didattend a series of brief meetingswith Hall of Fame staff at a sepa-rate location in the village andsaid he wanted his first walkthrough the front doors of the

stately building on Main Street tobe with his kids.

“I wanted to share the momentwith them,” Griffey said. “It wasimportant for me to be able to doit with them and not just bymyself. I just felt that I wanted tobe a member of the Hall of Fameto walk in there.”

Induction day promises to bean extremely emotional momentfor Griffey because his mom,Birdie, and father, formerCincinnati Reds star Ken Sr.,both cancer survivors and inte-gral to his rise to stardom, alsowill be part of the celebration.

Griffey played 22 big-leagueseasons with the Mariners, Redsand White Sox and was namedon a record 99.32 percent of bal-lots cast, an affirmation of sortsfor his squeaky-clean perform-ance during baseball’s SteroidsEra. A 13-time All-Star and 10-time Gold Glove Award winner,Griffey hit 630 home runs, sixthall-time, and drove in 1,836runs.

Griffey also was namedAmerican League MVP in 1997,drove in at least 100 runs ineight seasons, and won sevenSilver Slugger Awards. In the1995 ALDS, he became just thesecond player in major leaguehistory to hit five home runs in asingle postseason series (ReggieJackson of the Yankees in the1977 World Series is the other).

Like Yankees great MickeyMantle before him, fans are leftto wonder what more Griffeymight have accomplished hadhis health not become a hin-drance. From 2001-04 he aver-aged fewer than 80 games playedper year while suffering throughhamstring tears, knee problems,a dislocated shoulder, and ankletendon ruptures.

Healthy again in 2005, Juniorslugged 35 home runs and cap-tured the NL Comeback Player ofthe Year Award. Two years later,he had his last standout season— 144 games, 30 homers, 93RBIs — and earned his final All-

Star Game selection. He finishedhis career with the White Soxand Mariners before retiringearly in the 2010 season.

For Piazza, selection to theHall is validation of an awful lotof hard work.

Taken in the draft after Hall ofFame manager Tommy Lasorda,a close friend of Piazza’s father,put in a good word, Piazza strug-gled. He briefly quit the gamewhile in the minor leagues,

returned and persevered despitea heavy workload as he switchedfrom first base to catcher andteammates criticized his erraticplay.

“When I first signed with theDodgers, I knew it was going tobe a very difficult path,” Piazzasaid. “At the time I wasn’t havingany fun and decided to quit thegame. I was just fortunate that Ihad great coaches and peoplelooking out for me to encourage

me to go back. You don’t make itto the Hall of Fame alone, youhave a lot of people looking outfor you along the way.”

And then it all clicked almostsuddenly for Piazza, hitting 52home runs in the minors beforegetting called up by the Dodgersin September 1992. He was thereto stay after going 3 for 3 in hisdebut and was named NationalLeague Rookie of the Year the fol-lowing season after hitting .318

with 35 homers and 112 RBIs.Piazza played 16 years with

the Dodgers, Marlins, Mets,Padres and Athletics and hit 427career home runs, including amajor league record 396 as acatcher. A 12-time All-Star,Piazza won 10 Silver SluggerAwards and finished in the topfive in MVP voting four times.Perhaps even more impressive,Piazza, a .308 career hitter, post-

Glasnow exits early, but thePirates rally to beat Phillies

PITTSBURGH (AP) — GregoryPolanco and David Freese hittwo-run singles during a five-runfifth inning to rally Pittsburghover the Philadelphia Phillies 7-4on Saturday after top Piratesprospect Tyler Glasnow wasremoved with shoulder discom-fort.

Glasnow exited his secondmajor league start in the fourthinning. The rookie right-handerwas recalled from Triple-AIndianapolis earlier in the dayand allowed two runs (oneearned) and four hits in three-plus innings.

Polanco’s hit put the Piratesahead 4-3 and chased starterAaron Nola. Freese’s hit offSeverino Gonzalez pushed thelead to three runs, and FranciscoCervelli capped the inning with asacrifice fly to help Pittsburghwin for the fourth time in six

games.Cervelli went 2 for 3 and was

Glasnow also hit two batters,including catcher CameronRupp, who left the game in thirdinning after being struck in theleft ear flap of his helmet. Ruppdid not display any concussionsymptoms.

Nola (5-9) was tagged for sixruns and six hits in four-plusinnings with five strikeouts andtwo walks. That was a step back-ward from his last start when hepitched six shutout inningsagainst the Miami Marlins on theheels of giving up a combined 30

runs in his previous five outings.Odubel Herrera had his second

straight three-hit game for thePhillies after going 4 for 41 in hisprevious 11 games.

A relieved Froome heads toParis to secure 3rd Tour title

MORZINE, France (AP) — Aftertwo crashes, a bloodied knee andeven a run up legendary MontVentoux, a relieved Chris Froomecan cruise into Paris today andsecure his third Tour de Francetitle in four years.

Froome kept his lead intact dur-ing the final day of climbing — anddescending — in the Alps onSaturday and heads to the mostlyceremonial finish on the Champs-Elysees with a comfortable advan-tage of 4 minutes, 5 seconds overRomain Bardet of France.

“It feels like it’s been a rollercoaster,” Froome said. “It’s justbeen an amazing race where I’vereally taken on the race.”

The highlights for Froome werea daring downhill attack and stagevictory in the eighth leg and get-ting into a late breakaway amidstrong crosswinds in Stage 11.

“You just can’t script momentslike that,” Froome said. “It’s bikeracing at its best. ... I really felt likea kid again.”

Froome was also slowed by amotor bike crash on Ventoux,prompting him to run up the roadwhen he saw that his bike wasdamaged. He then fell hard on aslippery descent in Stage 19 onFriday.

Wearing bandages on his rightknee and elbow for Saturday’sstage, Froome was never in troubleas his top lieutenants at Team Skyescorted him up and down each ofthe day’s four climbs.

“It’s been a really intense race.

... It was incredible to cross thelast finish line with my team-mates,” Froome said. “They werewith me for the entire Tour.”

On the final descent, which hada vertical drop of more than 700meters (2,300 feet), Froome wasextremely careful but none of hismain rivals attacked.

Froome, the Kenyan-bornBritish rider who won the Tour in2013 and 2015, then eased upjust before the line and lost a fewseconds to his main rivals. He letout a thin smile when he reachedthe finish as his Sky teammatescheered him on.

“There was no surprise becauseChris Froome won. But for me itwas not the same as in previousyears,” Tour director ChristianPrudhomme said. “When heattacked in the Peyrsourdedescent it was such a surprise.And he did it again when he wentwith (Peter) Sagan in Montpellier. Iliked it very much. Chris Froomewas very good, his opponents lessgood.”

Froome is set to become the firstrider to defend the Tour title sinceMiguel Indurain won the last of hisfive straight titles in 1995. LanceArmstrong was stripped of hisseven consecutive titles for doping.

Two-time runner-up NairoQuintana of Colombia is third,4:21 behind.

Min Woo Lee makes history with win at Junior AmateurFrom USGA

Ooltewah — It was the longest47-minute wait to hit a 3½-footchampionship-clinching putt inMin Woo Lee’s young golf career.And when the second of twoweather suspensions inSaturday’s 36-hole final matchin the 69th U.S. Junior AmateurChampionship ended, the 17-year-old from Perth, Australia,calmly holed the putt to makeUSGA history.

Lee made a late rally in sultryconditions at The HonorsCourse to defeat Noah Goodwin,16, of Corinth, Texas, 2 and 1,and with it added a secondUSGA trophy to the Lee familymantle. Four years ago, Lee’solder sister, Minjee, a two-timeLPGA Tour winner and one oftwo Australian representativesfor next month’s Olympics in Riode Janeiro, claimed the U.S.Girls’ Junior title, making them

the only brother-sister tandemto win USGA Junior champi-onships.

Hank (1998) and Kelli Kuehne(1995 and 1996) won U.S.Amateur and U.S. Women’sAmateur titles, respectively, andthere have also been one sister-sister and five brother-brothercombinations to have wonchampionships, including Hankand Trip Kuehne (2007 U.S.Mid-Amateur).

“I think we made history, sothat’s pretty cool,” said Minjeevia Facetime from the LPGATour’s UL International Crownoutside of Chicago, where she iscompeting this weekend at TheMerit Club for Australia. “I justtold him at the beginning of theday to just have fun. I’m gladthat he came out winning, andit’s great for both of us.”

Added Min Woo Lee: “It feelsgreat. I'm down in history on the

USGA Junior trophy, so it feelsreally good. It's probably thebest I've ever felt. It's a dreamcome true for me. I've alwayswanted to win this tournament.I was in good form coming intoit. I knew I had a good chance. Itfeels great to win and be on thetrophy with names such as Tiger[Woods].”

The championship began with36 holes of stroke play onMonday and Tuesday, with thelow 64 scorers advancing tomatch play. The two finalistshad to win five 18-hole matchesto advance to the championshipmatch.

Lee, No. 131 in the WorldAmateur Golf Ranking™, alsobecame the fourth internationalchampion of the U.S. JuniorAmateur, but the previous three– Terry Noe (1994), Sihwan Kim(2004) and Andy Hyeon Bo Shim(2012) – were all from theRepublic of Korea. AustralianAaron Baddeley lost in the 1998championship match to JamesOh at Conway Farms in subur-ban Chicago, 1 down.

Lee became the first maleAustralian in 10 years to win aUSGA title, the last being GeoffOgilvy in the 2006 U.S. Open.Other notable Australian USGAchampions include NickFlanagan (2003 U.S. Amateur),Karrie Webb (2000 and 2001U.S. Women’s Open), DavidGraham (1981 U.S. Open) andJan Stephenson (1983 U.S.Women’s Open).

Goodwin, No. 35 in the WAGR,was bidding to become the sev-

enth different Texan to win theJunior Amateur since HunterMahan’s triumph in 1999.

“I couldn't have lost to a betterplayer,” said Goodwin. “Hepushed me and challenged meevery single shot today. I playedmy butt off today. I played great.I got beat by a better player. Inthe end, that's what it's allabout. This tournament is justabout finding the best playerthis week.”

The match on the par-72,7,326-yard Pete Dye layout sawneither player enjoy more than a2-up lead throughout the 35holes. With the usual match-play concessions, the two final-ists combined for 21 birdies andan eagle. It also included a pairof afternoon weather delaystotaling 83 minutes.

Goodwin, who reached theRound of 16 in last year’s JuniorAmateur and qualified for matchplay in the 2015 U.S. Amateur,enjoyed a 1-up lead before thefirst 36-minute delay just afterthe players hit their tee shots onthe par-3 32nd hole.

Both Lee and Goodwin con-verted short birdie putts of 12and 8 feet, respectively, whenplay resumed, but on the par-433rd, Goodwin’s 6-ironapproach from 190 yards foundthe water. Lee two-putted for awinning par to square the matchand followed by stuffing a 6-ironto 18 feet on the par-3, 210-yard34th hole. Goodwin’s tee shotbarely cleared the water hazard.

Jeff Gordon readiesfor the Brickyard ina surprising return

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — JeffGordon always expected to beat this weekend’s Brickyard400.

The tricky part was figuringout his role.

One week after Gordon askedhis publicist to delay a long-planned announcement that hewould drive the pace car beforea race he won five times, thefour-time Cup championreturned to the 2.5-mile oval asDale Earnhardt Jr.’s replace-ment and the top attraction inSunday’s race.

“When (team owner) Rick(Hendrick) said to me, ‘Are youcoming to Indianapolis?’ I said‘Yes I am. I am coming onSaturday,’” Gordon said. “Hesaid, ‘Well, you better bringyour uniform.’”

The improbable comebacktakes place just a short driveaway from his childhood homeof Pittsboro, Indiana, and eightmonths after his official retire-ment.

He’s back for only one rea-son: Earnhardt continues tobattle concussion-like symp-toms and has not yet beencleared by doctors to climbback into the car.

When Earnhardt took himselfout of the No. 88 last weekend,Hendrick contacted his long-time star who was vacationingin France. Gordon agreed topinch-hit when he returned.Gordon then texted publicistJon Edwards, who contactedthe speedway 15 minutes beforethe scheduled announcement.

For the Rainbow Warrior, this

week’s pace has been every bitas frantic.

He flew to New York onTuesday, then hopped onHendrick’s plane, bound forNorth Carolina as Earnhardtwas seeing doctors inPittsburgh.

After landing in Charlotte,Gordon was whisked to teamheadquarters for a seat fitting.On Wednesday, the day it wasannounced Earnhardt wouldmiss two more races, Gordonhad a physical, applied for dri-ver’s credentials and met withcrew chief Greg Ives. Gordonspent the rest of the weekwatching Go-Pro videos,researching data and workingin the simulator before practic-ing Friday. Qualifying will beheld Saturday.

When he arrived at the trackFriday, throngs of fans lined upto catch one more glimpse ofGordon.

“This is certainly the lastthing I thought was going tohappen, but I knew it wasIndianapolis,” Gordon said. “I

didn’t think about it. I felt like ifthere was one place that I wascapable of doing it, it would behere.”

How much can be expectedfrom a 44-year-old driver whowill make his season debut atone of the series’ fastest tracks

and on one of the season’shottest weekends? The heatindex is expected to hit tripledigits Sunday.

“All I can tell you is that Ihave done everything I possi-

Kyle BusCh leads the field into the first turn on the start of theNASCAR Xfinity race Saturday, at Indianapolis Motor Speedway inIndianapolis.

Kyle Busch wins Xfinity race at Indy — againINDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Kyle Busch spent

Saturday climbing in and out of brutally hotcars in Indianapolis.

All that work finally got him back to a prettycool spot in victory lane — and some ice coldwater.

After claiming two poles Saturday afternoon,Busch returned to the track and led all but onelap to win his second straight NASCAR XfinitySeries victory at the track by 0.415 secondsover hard-charging Kevin Harvick. Paul Menardwas third, 1.338 seconds off the pace.

“I’d like to hope so,” the 2015 Cup seasonchampion said after being asked if he can keepthis up after earning his seventh Xfinity winthis season and record-extending 83rd of hiscareer. “I don’t know exactly how many (races) Ihave left, that’s changing every day. But, hope-fully, with whatever we have left, we can havethe same amount of success we’ve had here.”

Busch has been virtually unbeatable onIndy’s 2.5-mile oval all weekend.

He posted the fastest practice times in boththe Xfinity and Sprint Cup Series on Friday,won the poles, captured the first of two heat

races to establish the rest of the starting orderand put himself in position second straightsweep of the two races in Indy.

No NASCAR driver has ever won both polesand both races here.

The only prize Busch didn’t get his claimSaturday was the $100,000 dash-for-cashprize, which he was ineligible for. That payoutwent to fifth-place finisher Justin Allgaier —who was the best of the non-Cup regulars.Allgaier said the thermometer in his carreached 137 degrees.

How dominant has Busch been?The Joe Gibbs Racing star held off two former

Brickyard 400 winners and one, Harvick,couldn’t even catch the leader after taking newtires during the final caution period, whichextended the race to 63 laps.

The difference: Busch’s perfectly-timedrestarts.

“New tires for those guys were good for them,not so much for us,” Busch said after complet-ing the final 36 laps without a stop. “On therestarts, the second-to-last one was really good.The last one was OK.”

It was at least good enough.Busch only surrendered the lead once —

when he pitted after 27 laps — and retook thelead when Brendan Gaughan made his pit stop.

The only other time Busch’s lead was even injeopardy came after rookie Roy Black Jr. hit thewall in the second turn, slid down the track andwas hit by Harrison Rhodes, bringing out a cau-tion six laps to go.

Harvick, who drives for Stewart-Haas Racing,and Kyle Larson, who drives for Chip GanassiRacing, both stopped and changed tires. Butthey wound up battling one another so hard,they couldn’t catch Busch.

“Our goal was to overachieve today, and wedid that,” Harvick said. “We had a couple ofgood restarts and wound up second. Not a badday.”

Even if Busch’s day was much more reward-ing.

“I think our chances are pretty good,” Buschsaid, referring to the Brickyard 400. “Startingup front means a lot here in Indy. I think ourToyota today was strong, I think our Toyotatomorrow will be even stronger.”

Dustin Johnson tees off atthe 11th hole at the CanadianOpen Saturday, in Oakville,Ontario.

Snedeker leads amateur du Toit, Johnson in Canadian OpenOAKVILLE, Ontario (AP) — Jared du Toit was in position

to become the first Canadian to win the Canadian Open in62 years — and the first amateur to break through on thePGA Tour in 25 seasons.

Brandt Snedeker was in a little better position. And U.S.Open champion Dustin Johnson was right there, too.

“I think I’m going to be the most-hated man in Canadatomorrow, but it’s going to be a lot of fun trying to figure itout,” said Snedeker, the 2013 winner at Glen Abbey whoeagled the par-5 18th on Saturday for a 6-under 66 and aone-stroke lead over du Toit and Johnson.

Du Toit matched Snedeker with an eagle on 18, holing a40-footer for a 70. On Friday, du Toit rebounded from atriple bogey and bogey with three straight birdies.

“I’ve never kind of been in this kind of pressure, thisatmosphere before,” said du Toit, an Arizona State seniorfrom Kimberley, British Columbia. “I’m here having funand trying to go and play golf. It hasn’t set in so far, butloving every minute of it.”

Pat Fletcher, born in England, was the last Canadianwinner in 1954 at Point Grey in Vancouver, BritishColumbia. Carl Keffer is the only Canadian-born champi-on, winning in 1909 and 1914. Albert Murray, a Canadian

also born in England, won in 1908 and 1913. PhilMickelson was the last amateur winner on the tour in the1991 Northern Telecom Open.

“I’m honestly just out here to have some fun and enjoythe atmosphere,” du Toit said. “Obviously, I want to playwell tomorrow, but it’s kind of my first go at it. Win or lose,I’m happy with the way this week’s gone.”

He has Snedeker’s attention.“He’s great,” Snedeker said. “For a 21-year-old kid, to be

playing golf here is awesome, let alone to do it in yournational open. I mean, I can’t imagine the nerves this kidhas to be playing as great of golf as he has. I’m looking for-ward to meeting him. I’m looking forward to playing withhim, and I’m going to do everything I can to help him havea great day tomorrow.”

Snedeker overpowered the 18th, hitting a 378-yard driveand 121-yard approach to set up the 6-footer.

“Now I know what it feels like to be Dustin Johnson,”Snedeker said about his drive on 18. “Just had downwind,greens and fairways are so firm, if you get it.Unfortunately, them being firm, you have about 2 yards toget the ball in the fairway. I hit it right on my line, one ofthe best swings I’ve made all day. Hit hard and took off.

Had a lob wedge into 18, perfect lob wedge, able to hit agood one and rip it in there about 6 feet and make a putt.”

Johnson, tied for the lead with Luke List after each ofthe first two days, birdied 18 for a 71.

“I had a rough day on the greens,” Johnson said. “It did-n’t feel like I was hitting bad putts. I don’t know, ball wasnot going in the hole. Hit a lot of good shots out there thatdidn’t end up very good. I still feel like I’m playing well,driving it really well and that’s the big key for me.Tomorrow, hopefully, get some putts to roll in.”

Snedeker had five straight birdies on Nos. 2-6, bogeyed11 and 15 and birdied the par-5 16th The 35-year-oldAmerican won the in February at Torrey Pines for hiseighth PGA Tour title.

“I felt comfortable on the greens all week and was hittingmy line today,” Snedeker said. “It’s funny, you get a roundlike today, I had a bunch of putts that were really easy toread. They were edge putts I could be firm with andaggressive with and I was able to take advantage of them.”

Steve Wheatcroft and Alex Cejka were 7 under.Wheatcroft had a 64, and Cejka shot 69.

Miguel Angel Jimenez openslead in Senior British Open

CARNOUSTIE, Scotland (AP)— Miguel Angel Jimenezopened a four-stroke lead inthe Senior British Open, shoot-ing a 7-under 65 on Saturdayin mild conditions to fall oneshort of matching theCarnoustie Golf Links record.

The 52-year-old Spaniardhad a bogey-free round in windat 6-12 mph on the mostlycloudy afternoon. He had an11-under 205 total after open-ing 70-70, putting him in posi-tion for his first major title.

“Tonight, I’m going to doexactly the same thing I did theprevious night,” Jimenez said.“I go with my friends, we go toa nice diner with a nice bottleof Rioja and after that I’m goingto have a bit, fat cigar with anice malt whisky.”

Jimenez won in Mississippiin March for his third careerPGA Tour Champions victory.He has 15 regular EuropeanTour victories, the last in the2014 Spanish Open at a tour-record 50 years, 133 days.

“Of course, I care,” Jimenezsaid. “I love what I do, andwhat I’ve done for the past 28years. I want to do well, to beas relaxed as possible and domy best.”

He hit a 4-iron into 17 to setup a birdie, but missed a 6-footer on 18 after a 5-ironapproach.

“It was a very nice day on thegolf course,” Jimenez. “I playedvery solid from tee to green.Everything was working per-fectly today. I played the lasttwo holes beautifully so I am

happy with my day and thescore, despite not making thelast putt for a 64.”

Paul Broadhurst (68), WesShort Jr. (69), Tom Byrum (71)and Joe Durant (72) were tiedfor second.

Broadhurst opened with a 75and had a 66 on Friday. Hesaved par on 18 with an 8-foot-er.

“You don’t want to finishwith a bogey so it’s nice to havedinner on a high rather than alow,” the Englishman said.“Miguel’s going to be the manto beat, without a doubt. I washitting some good shots in thegroup ahead of him, and everytime I turned around he hadjust hit it inside me.”

Durant slipped back aftersharing the second-round leadwith Kohki Idoki.

“I played horrible today, Ireally did,” Durant said. “Myiron game was terrible. I justcouldn’t figure it out. I triedabout 20 different swingthoughts and just couldn’t zeroit in for some reason. I justkept flaring everything out tothe right. My sequencing wasbad.”

Scott McCarron (71) was 6under.

Bernhard Langer was tied for12th at 3 under after his third71. He won the 2010 event atCarnoustie.

MinnesOtA vikings cOAcH Dennis Green celebrates against the Arizona Cardinals at theMetrodome in Minneapolis in this 1999 file photo. Green, a trailblazing coach who led a Vikingsrenaissance in the 1990s and also coached the Arizona Cardinals, has died. He was 67.

Trailblazing Former NFLcoach Green dies at 67

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Dennis Green, thetrailblazing coach who led a Minnesota Vikingsrenaissance in the 1990s before a less success-ful run with the Arizona Cardinals, has died. Hewas 67.

Green’s family posted a message Friday onthe Cardinals website’ announcing the death.

“His family was by his side and he foughthard,” the statement said. It did not discloseother details, though the Cardinals said Greenhad died of a heart attack.

Green was the first black head coach in BigTen history when he took over at Northwesternin 1981 and was just the third black head coachin the NFL when the Vikings hired him in 1992.Through it all, Green worked hard to provideopportunities for minorities on his coachingstaffs and was beloved by his players for the loy-alty he showed them.

“He was one of the forerunners, standardbearers from an African-American standpoint,”Vikings COO Kevin Warren said. “He was thereearly and won a lot of football games. He notonly got in that position as a head coach, hethen hired people and gave them opportunities.”

Green spent 10 seasons in Minnesota, lead-ing the Vikings to eight playoff appearances andtwo NFC championship games. He had only onelosing season and compiled an overall record of97-62, a mark second only to Bud Grant infranchise history. That included a 15-1 regularseason in 1998 spearheaded by a record-settingoffense.

“They were pretty good when he was here,”current Vikings coach Mike Zimmer said. “I’mjust trying to get close to him.”

Green went out on a limb in the draft beforethat season, taking Randy Moss at No. 21 afterthe super-talented receiver fell due to characterconcerns. Moss was a sensation from the start,teaming with Cris Carter, Jake Reed, RandallCunningham and Robert Smith to give theVikings the most dynamic and explosive offense

the league had ever seen. The Vikings scored arecord 556 points that season, a mark thatstood until New England broke it in 2007.

But the Vikings were upset at home by theAtlanta Falcons that season and also wereembarrassed by the New York Giants 41-0 intheir other trip to the NFC title game after the2000 season.

Green went 4-8 in the postseason, one of thereasons he was fired by Minnesota late in the2001 season.

“Denny made his mark in ways far beyondbeing an outstanding football coach,” theVikings said. “He mentored countless playersand served as a father figure for the men hecoached. Denny founded the VikingsCommunity Tuesday Program, a critical initia-tive that is now implemented across the entireNFL. He took great pride in helping assistantcoaches advance their careers. His tenure asone of the first African American head coachesin both college and the NFL was also transfor-mative. Our thoughts and prayers are with theentire Green family.”

Smith tweeted: “Rest in peace Denny. I lostmy mother in April, I feel like I just lost father.”

Green’s leadership was never needed morethan during training camp in 2001 when offen-sive tackle Korey Stringer collapsed and diedfrom heat illness, but his tenure in Minnesotaalso was marked by controversy.

He penned a book in 1997 entitled “No Roomfor Crybabies” in which he threatened to sue theownership group if he didn’t obtain an owner-ship stake. And at the end of the 2001 season,he was ousted with one game left in the seasonafter losing a power struggle with owner RedMcCombs.

Green finished his three years in Arizona witha 16-32 record. Perhaps his biggest accomplish-ment with the Cardinals was overseeing thedrafting of Larry Fitzgerald as the No. 3 overall

HOustOn texAns defensive end J.J. Watt gestures duringa game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, in Houston. The HoustonTexans’ star defensive end has had back surgery and will begin train-ing camp on the physically unable to perform list.

Texans hope Osweiler canhelp them take next step

HOUSTON (AP) — The HoustonTexans proved they were seriousabout upgrading their offensethis offseason by luring BrockOsweiler from Denver with afour-year, $72 million contract.Now it’s time to see if the quarter-back was worth it.

All eyes will be on Osweilerwhen the Texans begin trainingcamp on July 31 — especiallywith star defensive end J.J. Wattsidelined by a back injury.

“I’m impressed with Brock,probably most of all in his abilityto learn our system, our opera-tion,” coach Bill O’Brien said.“It’s not easy to come in here andlearn how we operate as anoffense, how we meet, how wecall plays at the line of scrim-mage, how we teach defense ...we’re really happy with hisprogress.”

On Thursday night, a personfamiliar with Watt’s conditionsaid the star defender has hadback surgery and will begintraining camp on the physicallyunable to perform list. The per-son spoke to The AssociatedPress on on condition ofanonymity because the teamhasn’t confirmed the surgery orWatt’s roster status.

Watt, the NFL sacks leader lastseason with 17 1/2, will miss thestart of training camp, but isexpected to be ready for the sea-son opener. Watt spent most ofthe offseason recovering afterhaving surgery to repair a groininjury in January.

Watt’s still looking to do morein 2016 and said he never watch-es his highlights, instead viewinghis bad plays to figure out how toget better.

“There’s so many great playersin this league, and you want tolearn and grow as much as youcan and gain as much informa-tion as you can so that you canimprove your own game,” Wattsaid.

Osweiler has started just sevengames in his four-year NFLcareer and they were all last sea-son. He was presumed to beDenver’s starter this season afterPeyton Manning’s retirement, buthe signed with Houston formegabucks instead.

He joins an offense highlightedby star receiver DeAndreHopkins, who finished third inthe NFL with 1,521 yards receiv-ing last season, and that addedrunning back Lamar Miller infree agency, then got receiversWill Fuller and Braxton Miller inthe draft.

The Texans overcame quarter-back woes last season to finish 9-7 and reach the playoffs for thefirst time since 2012. They wereousted in the wild-card round byKansas City after Brian Hoyercommitted five turnovers in the30-0 loss.

Now Osweiler takes over andhe feels good about his grasp ofHouston’s offense after the workhe got in practices and minicampthis spring and early this sum-mer. He’s looking to take hisunderstanding to another level incamp.

“It’s just focusing on thedetails of our offense,” he said.“There’s a lot of things that gointo it — formations, motions,shifts, different cadences, differ-ent route concepts, run checks,pass checks — and so it’s justfocusing on the details andfocusing on the line-of-scrim-mage operation.”

Some things to know about theTexans, who open the seasonSept. 11 against the ChicagoBears:

Expectations for Clowney:Outside linebacker JadeveonClowney is entering his third NFLseason and so far the No. 1 over-all pick in the 2014 draft hasfailed to live up to expectations

Tillman callsit quits afterlong career

LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) —Charles Tillman doesn’t havemany regrets after his 13-yearcareer in the NFL, most of it withthe Chicago Bears.

But there is one.The ball-hawking cornerback

known for his “peanut punch”after forcing 44 career fumbles issorry he did not become the firstmember of the NFL’s 40-40 clubfor forced fumbles and intercep-tions, falling two picks short. Oh,and about that nickname.

“I don’t know who coined thename ‘peanut punch,’” Tillmansaid. “I wish I had gotten intosome of that stock so I could havereserved the right to use that formyself. But it worked out.”

It did indeed.The 35-year-old Tillman will

forever be known as “Peanut” toBears fans after he went to twoPro Bowls and a Super Bowl withChicago, his hometown team. Hesigned a one-day contract Fridayto retire as a member of the teamthat drafted him in 2003 andwhere he spent his first 12 years.He had announced his retirementMonday.

He started 12 games last sea-son with the Carolina Panthersbefore suffering a season-endingknee injury and missed theteam’s run to the Super Bowl.

Tillman has the most intercep-tions by a cornerback in Bearshistory at 36, trailing onlysafeties Gary Fencik (38) andRichie Petitbon (37). Tillman alsoowns Bears records with ninedefensive touchdowns and eightinterception returns for touch-downs.

“You saw me turn into a manin front of your own eyes,”Tillman said at a news confer-ence Friday as he listed some ofhis favorite career moments overthe years.

In his rookie season, he got hisfirst start against the Raiders inWeek 5 and had a touchdown-saving, victory-clinching passbreakup against the Vikings’Randy Moss 10 weeks later.

“It showed the world that Icould play with anybody,”Tillman said. “I know when Icame from Louisiana(-Lafayette),when I got drafted, there were alot people who were like, ‘Who thehell is Charles Tillman? Whatschool is that? Where’s U-La-La?”And I had a chip on my shoul-der.”

Tillman said he had consideredretirement for months after tear-ing one of his anterior cruciateligaments in December.

“Once I tried to talk myself intocoming back like three times, Iknew it was time for me to walkaway,” he said.

Bears Chairman GeorgeMcCaskey praised Tillman as arare player “with uncommon abil-ity and tenacity on the field andunsurpassed compassion andcharitable spirit off the field.”Tillman was selected in 2013 asthe NFL’s Walter Payton Man ofthe Year for the philanthropicwork done through his founda-tion.

Boldin, Bush, Welker among big-name unemployed NFL veteransNEW YORK (AP) — They were

once big names with huge con-tracts. Now, several former NFLstars are unsigned and unem-ployed, anxiously awaitinganother — and, maybe, final —opportunity to get back on thefootball field.

Just a few years ago, a list thatincluded Anquan Boldin, ReggieBush, Wes Welker, AndreJohnson and Roddy White wouldhave highlighted the league’sbest playmakers. But age,injuries, contract squabbles andoff-field issues have the NFL’sunemployment line filled withfamiliar faces as teams prepareto head to training camp.

Here’s a look at some promi-nent unsigned free agents:

ANQUAN BOLDINThe 35-year-old wide receiver

showed he still has plenty left,catching 69 passes for 789 yardsand four touchdowns last seasonfor a bad 49ers offense. Boldinhas drawn some interest fromteams in the last few weeks, so itwould be a surprise if he isn’t incamp with someone needing apossession receiver. He has1,009 career receptions and 74TDs.

DWAYNE BOWEHe has 537 career catches,

three 1,000-yard seasons and 44touchdowns, but the 31-year-oldwide receiver was a non-factor inhis only year with Cleveland aftereight in Kansas City. Boweplayed in just seven games withno starts for the Browns, catch-ing five passes for 53 yards.

Then-coach Mike Pettine didn’tconsider Bowe one of the team’stop four receivers, and the veter-an was released in March.

REGGIE BUSHOnce one of the league’s most

dynamic running backs, Bushhas played in only 16 games thelast two seasons because ofinjuries. After signing a one-yeardeal with San Francisco last off-season, he tore a knee ligamentduring a game in Novemberwhen he slipped on the concretebordering the field at the St.Louis Rams’ Edward Jones Domeand hit into a wall. Bush toldSiriusXM NFL Radio last monththat he’s healthy now anddoesn’t “feel like I lost a step” atage 31.

MARQUES COLSTONThe Saints’ career leader in

receptions and TDs was releasedby New Orleans in March.Colston missed the last twogames of 2015 with a chestinjury and had career lows with45 catches, 520 yards receivingand four touchdowns. The 33-year-old receiver was a seventh-round pick out of Hofstra in2006 and has 711 career recep-tions for 9,759 yards and 72scores.

Arizona, the athletic cornerbackreunited with Darrelle Revis inthe Jets’ secondary last seasonand was mostly solid, but alsoshowed some signs of slippage.Cromartie, who turned 32 inApril, failed to get an interception

for the first time since his rookieseason in San Diego in 2006.New York cut Cromartie inFebruary in a cost-cutting move,saving $8 million on the salarycap.

RYAN FITZPATRICKThe 33-year-old quarterback

appears on this list only becausehe and the Jets remain in a con-tract squabble that appears to

have no end in sight. Fitzpatrickset a Jets franchise record with acareer-best 31 TD passes aftertaking over as the starter lastsummer when Geno Smith hadhis jaw broken by a punch froma teammate. Many still expectFitzpatrick to end up back withthe Jets, who fell one game shortof the playoffs last season withhim under center.

DWIGHT FREENEYSure, he’s 36. And, he’s no

longer a premier pass rusher.But Freeney finished with eightsacks for Arizona in 11 regular-season games after signing inOctober. He also had a sack inthe playoffs against Green Bay,showing he still can provide aspark by getting after the quar-terback.

GREG HARDYHis talent on the field is unde-

niable. But, so is his reputationoff it. Hardy was involved in ahigh-profile domestic violencecase in 2014 that got him sus-pended four games last season(after initially being banned for10 before having it reduced). Healso made headlines for showingup late to team meetings and forslapping a clipboard out of acoach’s hands during a game.Still, he’s just 27 and has 40career sacks, so a team might bewilling to take a chance.

ANDRE JOHNSONOne of the game’s elite wide

receivers just a few years ago,Johnson is 35 and facing the endof a brilliant career. He had 41catches for 503 yards and fourTDs in his only season with theColts, but said during the offsea-son he believes he can still beeffective in the NFL. Johnson has1,053 receptions for 14,100yards and 68 TDs in his 13 sea-sons.

JOHNNY MANZIELHis appearance on this list

says it all about how things have

gone for the former Brownsquarterback. Manziel appearedto be a possible answer toCleveland’s long-time QB woes,but personal issues off the fieldmade for a quick tumble.Whether he’ll get an opportunityto play again is uncertain, espe-cially because football is likelythe furthest thing from Manziel’smind as he deals with his sobri-ety and legal issues.

WES WELKERAge and a series of concus-

sions during the last three yearshave the 35-year-old wide receiv-er weighing retirement. Welkerplayed in eight games for theRams last season and finishedwith 13 catches and no touch-downs. His 903 career receptionsare the most in NFL history by anundrafted player, but Welker isfour years removed from his last100-catch, 1,000-yard season.

RODDY WHITEThe Falcons released their

career leader in receptions, yardsreceiving and TD catches inMarch, and the 34-year-oldreceiver remains without a job.He had a six-season stretch from2007-12 in which he had at least1,100 yards receiving every year,but White had just 43 catches for506 yards and one TD in adiminished role with Atlanta lastseason.

Other notable names: GWillie Colon, G Jahri Evans, CBLeon Hall, LB Calvin Pace, LBDeMeco Ryans, LB StephenTulloch, G Louis Vasquez, QBMichael Vick, S Donte Whitner.

"When you have more than you needbuild a longer table, not a bigger fence."

I recently heard this quote during aninterview, although I have not been able tofind a person to credit with its creation. Iagree with its sentiment.

This unsourced quote also struck me astimely in a presidential race where a wallhas become a much-discussed topic.

This quote puts an immediate contrast oncompassion and hostility. An invitation tosit with someone at a table shows an inter-est on the part of that person to have a rela-tionship, to help meet needs when possibleand accept help from them when they offer.

A wall says just the opposite. We do notwant you. We do not care. In fact, we want asolid structure between us, so that we donot even have to acknowledge you.

A traditionally sized fence sets a neededboundary to let people know where propertyrights begin and end. Higher fences andthose of thick materials go beyond establish-ing boundary lines to adding a sense of fore-boding. Either they do not want people tocome in or they do not want people to getout.

For my family, as more of the cousinsbecame adults, a “kids table” was no longerpractical, so tables were put end to end soeveryone could eat together. At Christmas,the table stretches into the living room.

Although they might not have used suchwords, I know people who have seemed tofollow the philosophy encouraged in this slo-gan.

After I was offered a job here soon aftermy graduation from Lee University, I neededa place to live. I had moved back toMaryland for the two months between grad-

uation and finding a job and now I washeaded south again.

My pastor at the time, who was one of mybest friend’s father, and his family hadopened their home to me in the past whenthe distance between school and home madegoing home for the break impractical.

When I called to let them know I needed aplace to stay, they again opened their hometo me.

Unity and the need for it have beenemphasized locally and nationally in recentmonths. Maybe some of the disunity hascome from building walls and fences, whenwe should have been building tables wherewe could sit and learn the beautiful thingsthat make us different and yet similar.

In this country’s history we had separateschools, separate facilities and even sepa-rate churches to stay with those we under-stood, those who looked the same, soundedthe same, dressed the same and thought thesame.

Efforts have been made, and in manyways have succeeded, in tearing down racialdivisions.

But, is it largely just a facade?Do we say the right things because we

know what is expected in a modern progres-sive society or do we truly care?

For many, I truly believe that, yes, they do

care. Many have devoted their life to others,those that are not like them, those whothink differently, those who dress differentlyand sound different.

Sadly, there are those who still hold ontothe underlining thoughts that drove preju-dice and hatred in the past to the point thatit is still present today.

I have often been grateful about the cul-tural diversity I was able to experience at ayoung age. Puerto Rico, Jamaica and SouthKorea were some of the countries of originfor those I had relationships with before Ientered my teen years.

I sometimes heard an adult refer to being“a marshmallow in a chocolate factory”when going to a certain part of town. Thecomment never set well with me. I knewthey were making a statement that theywere a minority in that area, but I couldn’thelp but wonder, “So what?”

Have you ever had chocolate and marsh-mallows together? They are a great combi-nation.

I believe such comments at the very rootcome from a fear that some may have nevereven named: fear of being outnumbered,fear of not being the one with the power.

But when these fears are based simply onthe color of someone’s skin, then they areunfounded.

So how do we “build a longer table?” I believe it starts with a decision to look

for people who are in need, that throughencouragement or material assistance andgetting to know them, they might join ourtable of friends. I believe it starts with want-ing to better understand those who havebeen, or are being judged, merely for theirskin tone, country of origin or culture.

DEARANNIE

TODAY IN HISTORY

Two weeks ago in this spaceour newspaper was wel-coming a select group of

young people to the Clevelandand Bradley County community— the 19 contestants of theDistinguished Young Women ofTennessee 2017 competition.

Their weeklong stay truly wasa joy, as much for the residents ofour hometown as it was for thehigh school teenagers and thewave of friends, family and otherloved ones who joined them forthe visit to Southeast Tennessee.

It was the eighth consecutiveyear for the much-admired DYWscholarship program to bring itsbubbly young ladies and ener-getic air to our community. Weanticipate this time next yearCleveland will be hosting anotherclass of hopefuls in year No. 9.

Today, the Cleveland DailyBanner welcomes another spe-cial entourage of visitors. They,too, are young. They, too, will behere for a week. They, too, arebringing a burst of energy and azeal for experience.

They are five members of theJournalism 3560 class at MiddleTennessee State University. Alsoknown as the Road-Trip Class,the course is taught by LeonAlligood, an MTSU associateprofessor who enjoyed a 30-yearcareer as a newspaper writer atthe Nashville Banner and TheTennessean before joining theuniversity faculty in 2008.

The premise of Alligood’sproactive course — which isfunded by a grant from theSeigenthaler Chair of Excellencein First Amendment Studies — isto spend three weeks in the field.A student team of aspiring youngwriters and communicatorsspends one week in each of thestate’s geographic regions: West,Middle and East Tennessee.

In each area, the group is host-ed by a partnering newspaper. InEast Tennessee, which serves asthe final leg of the students’three-week adventure, Alligoodasked the Banner to serve ashost. Delighted to play a role inthe development of young mindsand fresh literary talent, ournewspaper was eager to partici-pate.

The young writers arrive inCleveland today and their lodg-ing will be provided by LeeUniversity whose administratorsagreed to partner with theBanner in bringing the creativegroup of college students totown.

Sometime Monday, the team isexpected to begin its pursuit ofstory leads and feature ideas. InAlligood’s words, during theirstay here they will work to tell theuntold stories and unique profilesof the Cleveland and BradleyCounty community, and perhapssome surrounding areas.

Although Alligood has alreadyworked with Banner editors todevelop a few story leads, heinvites community residents toprovide suggestions as well.Although their schedule isalready a tight one, the team willstill consider story ideas that canbe developed within the next fewdays. Suggestions should beemailed to Alligood [email protected].

“MTSU has students goingoverseas on study trips eachsummer,” the journalism veterantold our newspaper. “I thought itwould be a great idea to go onthe road, just never leavingTennessee.”

There’s another concept atwork here, as well. Alligoodwants to expose his young writ-ers and communicators to thereal world.

“This is an immersion variety ofjournalism instruction where wetake students out of the class-room and put them into the fieldin places where they don’t knowanyone and don’t know the lay ofthe land,” Alligood said.

In other words, the Road-TripClass is opening the doors of lifeoff campus to a group of youngpeople whose biggest need isexposure to real-time experi-ences and real-world people and

places.Journalism 3560 is doing just

that. Now well into its fourth sum-mer, the outside-the-box courseis giving journalism hopefuls ataste for what the newspaper

trade involvesand the type ofmindset requiredfor this line ofwork.

It also opensdoors of opportu-nity.

Theirs is muchlike an intern-ship, only muchmore condensed.They show news-papers and busi-nesses — all ofwhom are poten-tial employers —what they cando. Such anaudition couldserve as a step-pingstone to afirst job in news-papering or relat-ed field of com-munications.

This group ofMTSU’s finest isnot only comingwith an armory ofpencils andnotepads, they’realso bringingalong videoequipment, cam-eras and othertools of journal-ism — print andelectronic — thatwill lead to a flur-ry of news storiesand features. Byweek’s end, theirfinished work willbe given to theBanner which willuse it in our printedition or ourwebsite, andsometimes both.

Banner pub-lisher StephenCrass, who is fin-ishing his 40thyear in newspa-per journalism, is

especially excited to be bringingthese new faces to the communi-ty.

One reason is because he isan MTSU alumnus and his lovefor the growing university, and itsjournalism school, has neverfaded.

A second reason is much of hisleadership style over the yearshas revolved around teaching. Inhis words, “One of our roles as acommunity newspaper is to helpyoung journalists get their start.Some stay with us for a long timebecause of a love for the work ora love of the community. Othersmove on, using some of theskillset they learned here.”

Part of Crass’ reasoning hasalways been, “If a young writerfails, it’s partially because wehave failed the young writer.”

A third reason is the publish-er’s love of the printed word. Hehas embraced it for fourdecades. And now, as theteacher, he wants others toembrace it as well.

Alongside Alligood, our specialguests of university age will beJesse Kellum, Marion, Ohio;Marissa Gaston, Murfreesboro;Agnes Porter, Chattanooga; SaraSnoddy, Counce; and ShainaJohnson, Nashville.

We welcome them all. We urgeCleveland and Bradley Countyresidents to welcome them aswell.

One reminder to our communi-ty: The protocol is the same as itis for our own newspaperreporters. If approached by oneof these MTSU students for infor-mation or for an interview, eachshould be asked for his or herMTSU student press credentials.

It should be an exciting weekfor the students, for theCleveland Daily Banner and forthe entire Cleveland and BradleyCounty community.

As we like to say around here,“Roll the presses!”

Today is Sunday, July 24, the206th day of 2016. There are 160days left in the year.

Dear Annie: I am fit.Correction: I am super fit. Not aneasy feat for a 52-year-old motherof four. I work out every day. I eatas healthy as possible.

I am obsessed with this indoorcycling place near me. It playsloud music. The instructors aregorgeous. It’s so different fromthe last gym I belonged to. It wasdepressing. There were lots ofpeople my age or older who wereout of shape and desperately try-ing to get back in shape, and itwas clear that was never going tohappen.

My only issue at this newcycling place is my fellow riders.Oftentimes, I look around andthink to myself, “I am the oldestperson in here by two decades.” Isee a sea of 20-somethings withtight, pre-baby bodies and can’thelp but feel self-conscious. I findmyself buying cute outfits andwearing makeup. Makeup. To aworkout class.

I am fine with my age. As I said,I look good and feel great aboutmy body. It’s just difficult when Iam surrounded by people straightout of an Abercrombie & Fitchcatalog. I also love this boutiquespot and don’t want to be ban-ished to doing circuit training atCurves. Any advice? — WonderWoman

Dear Wonder Woman: First,stop the cycle of negativity. Theless you judge other people theeasier it will be to have compas-sion for yourself.

Second, if your fellow riders arelooking at you and thinking any-thing, it’s probably, “Wow, I hopeI stay as fit as she is.” And even ifthey’re thinking something nega-tive, why does it matter whatsome random stranger in yourcycling class thinks of you? Focuson what you think of yourself.You’re only as old as you feel, andit sounds as if you feel prettyyoung.

Let a longer table bring unity

Facing another foe: A comeback of the Klan?“I don't think I'm alarmist. I'm more

disappointed by the euphemisms insome instances than outright bigotry.Now, to me, you walk around with aKlan hat on or you've got a swastika onyour arm, you just look like a dope, youknow what I mean?”

— John Ridley IVAmerican screenwriter,film director, novelist:

Best known for,“12 Years a Slave”(b. October 1965)

———Sharing Southeast Tennessee soil

with an aspiring political clown whosecongressional campaign embraces theslogan “Make America White Again” isbad enough, but now the AssociatedPress tells us the sheet-crazed Ku KluxKlan is making a resurgence.

And since that outspoken lunacy ofthe candidate gone wild a few weeksago, America has found herself mourn-ing two more mass shootings ... one inDallas, and the most recent one inBaton Rouge.

Both involved the tragic loss of life oflaw enforcement officers, as well as theshooters.

And sadly, but in today’s society pre-dictably, both appeared to be shootingsinfluenced by color of skin.

Even more sadly, there probably willbe others.

Any life matters, folks. Black lives.Blue lives. White lives. Brown lives. Redlives. Yellow lives. All lives.

What is so difficult about sayingthese words, and meaning it?

Here, give it a try: “I love black peo-ple. I love white people. I love men andwomen who wear blue uniforms. I lovehispanics. I love Muslims. I love Jews. Ilove Native Americans. I love Asians. Ilove all.”

Was that so hard?If your answer is, “No, actually it

wasn’t,” then let’s try living the words.If your answer is, “Yes, it’s just too

tough; I can’t love all those people,”then let’s work the problem. And let’s

do it together. No people problem canbe resolved by one person. It takes lotsof persons.

I’m no Biblical scholar. I don’t knowthe Scriptures well. I don’t pretend tobe any better than anyone else. Butseems to me like — whether we’reChristian or non-Christian or some-thing in between — the whole idea oflife is to make it even better with love.

If what we read is true, our workwon’t get any easier thanks to thealleged rise of a despicable wedge fromthe past — one that divided peoplethen, and one that could alienate usagain.

Yes, as if our nation doesn’t alreadyface enough challenge, somebody saysthe ultimate in senselessness is makinga comeback.

I don’t know which is worse, the veryidea that people would ... intentionally... revive the Ku Klux Klan or the factthat AP reports Tennessee already cur-rently hosts 16 KKK groups, second inthe nation only to Texas which appar-ently has 52.

Such disclosure leaves reasonablefolks speechless, and newspaper people... well, wordless, if that was actuallypossible, which it’s not.

If it’s true — although frankly Ibelieve America would quash any suchalleged uprising — then here’s ouroptions; at least, the way I see it:

One, we ignore the problem and hopeit goes away.

Two, we monitor any apparent insur-gence of this hate group; if evidenceshows it’s growing, we urge local, stateand federal lawmakers to unleash thehounds of sanity whose bite will beevery bit as fierce as their bark.

Three, we take a business approach

by petitioning linen manufacturersworldwide to stop producing whitesheets. Limiting selections to print, pat-terns or floral would put Klanwannabes in a pretty pickle. Thenagain, the KKK’s approach could be tosustain their supply of outerwearthrough the seedy apparel underworld.Can you imagine ... the Ku Klux Klanbuying its white sheets from the BlackMarket? You’ve gotta love that paradox.

Four, well ... I don’t really have afour, not yet anyway. I’ve embraced No.3.

As an aside, a co-worker the otherday asked if I was really going to writeabout the Ku Klux Klan in this column... just because of some AP story thatsays they’re rebuilding.

It was a good question. I ponderedthe good question. I gave what Ithought was a good answer.

“Does a bear dine in the woods?” Iresponded. Yes, I used the “d” word.Pretty edgy stuff for a communitynewspaper, I know. Don’t tell the pub-lisher I did it ... could be curtains formy career.

Back to that AP story ...If you’re interested in the list of Klan

strongholds, behind Texas andTennessee are Oklahoma, 10 KKKgroups; Alabama and Pennsylvania, 9;Arkansas, Louisiana and NorthCarolina, 8; Mississippi, 7; Florida andOhio, 5; Georgia, Kentucky, SouthCarolina and West Virginia, 4;California, Illinois, Indiana and NewYork, 3; Arizona, Delaware, Marylandand Missouri, 2; and about 11 statesfrom Maine to Colorado with 1.

Out of fairness, here’s the list of sanestates that report having none; at least,not that they know of (and by the way,God Bless them everyone): Alaska,Hawaii, Idaho, Kansas, Massachusetts,Michigan, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada,North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota,Utah, Washington, Wisconsin andWyoming.

This information, which was usedextensively in the AP research, is cred-

ited to the Southern Poverty LawCenter, an advocacy group that tracksactivity by groups it considers extrem-ist.

Here are some interesting tidbitsfound in that AP story. Some of theinformation I’m paraphrasing. Some I’mpulling out almost verbatim, which byjournalism standards is plagiarism. I’mhoping by admitting it in advance that Iwill be forgiven in the Court ofCommunications Ethics.

n Joining today’s KKK is as easy asfilling out an online form — providedyou’re white and Christian. Accordingto AP writer Jay Reeves, “Members canvisit an online store to buy one of theKlan’s trademark white cotton robes for$145, though many splurge on the$165 satin version.” They’re still idiots,but apparently idiots in vogue.

n SPLC spokesman Mark Potokadvises the Klan is still involved inatrocities, but the group’s influence isnowhere near its heyday of the ‘20sand later the ‘60s when it burnedchurches, murdered innocent people(some of them by noose), and bombedhouses of worship, one of which killedfour little girls in Birmingham.

n The Klan’s present-day member-ship nationwide is estimated to rangefrom 3,000 to 6,000. Back in the mid-’60s, in response to the Civil RightsMovement, Klan membership was esti-mated to be about 40,000.

n Klan chapters around the nation(an estimated 190) still spew a sharedcause — hatred — but reportedly thegroups are splintered over goals andallegiances. Some associate with neo-Nazis, some don’t. Some hold publicrallies, some prefer slithering around indark corners. Some still wear the KKK’strademark white robes, some arebranching out into different colors. (Ifthe latter is true, it might shelve mybusiness-approach Option No. 3 men-tioned earlier).

n Some reports indicate the Klan isworking to rebrand itself. For instance,the vile group still burns crosses, but

they no longer call it cross-burning.They refer to it now as cross-lighting.They insist these fires — whetherthey’re burning crosses or Naziswastikas — symbolize faith in Christ.I’m scratching my head on that one.

n According to AP, the Klan’s corebelief remains white supremacy asespoused in its “Ku Klux Klan Kreed,”which reads, “We avow the distinctionbetween the races of mankind assame has been decreed by theCreator, and we shall ever be true inthe faithful maintenance of WhiteSupremacy and will strenuouslyoppose any compromise thereof in anyand all things.”

The AP reporter (with contributionsby fellow writer Ryan Phillips of StoneMountain, Ga., and photographer MikeStewart of Rome, Ga.) ended his storyby pointing to a Klan gathering in Aprilheld in Northwest Georgia. There, themembership is reported to have gath-ered in a huge circle in an open field toset afire both a cross and a swastika.The group is said to have chanted,“White power! Death to the ungodly!Death to our enemies!”

Although I’ve taken a sometimeslighthearted look at the KKK in sectionsof this column, the truth is this: Whitesupremacist hate groups — any hategroups, for that matter, regardless ofcolor or target — are no laughing mat-ter. Yes, they’re a joke, but their stanceon humanity is nothing to laugh about.

They’re evil and they’re dangerous.As for the KKK, no matter how they

try to position themselves in today’sworld — regardless of favorable 2016spin — in the end they’re still the Klan.

In my way of thinking, these guys aremuch like a hooded duck.

If they walk like it, if they talk like itand if they quack like it ... they’re stillthe Klan.

Japan opens door to constitution changeTOKYO (AP) — A resounding election vic-

tory for Japanese Prime Minister ShinzoAbe’s ruling bloc has opened the door acrack for his long-cherished ambition torevise the constitution for the first time sinceit was enacted in 1947 — a behind-the-scenes agenda that could over time changeJapan’s future.

Gains in parliamentary elections meanthat Abe’s ruling Liberal Democratic Party,with the help of coalition partner Komeitoand fringe groups supporting constitutionalchange, now can cobble together the crucialtwo-thirds majority in the 242-memberupper house needed to propose revision andput it to a referendum.

The LDP and Komeito already have a two-thirds majority in the lower house. Holding aso-called “supermajority” in both houses israre, and the LDP’s long-term goal of consti-tutional revision has never seemed so realis-tic.

Once the excitement subsides, however,the road to constitutional revision remainslong and difficult. Fundamental change isunlikely in the remaining two years in Abe’spremiership, though he may angle for anoth-er three-year term. But if Abe sets his sightslow, he may be able to win approval for amodest revision that could lay the ground-work for deeper change later.

Abe told a parliamentary session in Marchthat he was hoping to achieve a revision dur-ing his term, which expires in September2018, but he hasn’t said specifically whatchange he would seek. After the election vic-tory, he seems game to test the waters.

“We will move on to a next stage and startdiscussing which articles should be revised

and in what way,” Abe said. He pointed outhe would launch a parliamentary researchcommittee.

As a grandson and admirer of NobusukeKishi, a former prime minister who despisedthe U.S.-drafted constitution, rewriting thecharter is an important goal for Abe. ForAbe’s Liberal Democratic Party, the 1947charter is the legacy of Japan’s war defeatand an imposition of the victors’ world orderand Western values.

Japan’s postwar constitution renouncesthe use of force in international conflicts,and limits its military to self-defense only,although Japan has a well-equipped modernarmy, navy and air force that work closelywith the U.S., Japan’s top ally.

Abe’s government adopted a new interpre-tation of the war-renouncing Article 9 in2014 so Japan can take on a bigger militaryrole internationally, and parliament enacteda set of security laws last year to allow Japanto defend also the U.S. and other allies incertain circumstances.

Some Japanese agree with Abe’s views onsecurity because of growing fears about ter-rorism, North Korea’s missile and nuclearweapons ambitions and China’s militaryassertiveness, while others appreciate thecharter as a symbol of postwar democracyand take pride in the war-renouncingpledge.

Besides Article 9, the ruling party pro-posed changes in a 2012 draft revision thatwould restore pre-war traditions and family

values centered on the emperor, and to bal-ance the national interest with the constitu-tion’s “basic human rights.”

That kind of fundamental revision wouldbe difficult to get through parliament, not tomention win approval in a referendum. TheLDP would have to win over Komeito, aBuddhist-backed party not keen on thatkind of change, or it would have to find othersupporters in parliament.

Stephen Nagy, a professor of internationalpolitics at International Christian Universityin Tokyo, writes that “despite a two-thirdsmajority in the upper house, constitutionalrevision is unlikely,” citing public support forthe pacifist constitution and divided viewson both revision and legislative prioritieswithin the ruling party.

“Lawmakers are interested in prioritizingeconomic growth and a bolder commitmentto structural reform instead of wasting valu-able political capital on changing Article 9 ofthe Constitution,” Nagy said in an onlinearticle for the Asia and Pacific Policy Society.

The LDP’s election success largely reflectsthe choice of Japanese voters for stabilityand a lack of opposition alternatives, ratherthan an endorsement of constitutionalchange.

Many voters said in exit polls they wereunaware of the significance of a two-thirdsmajority, suggesting their disinterest in therevision issue.

Abe could decide to pursue a less contro-versial change. Komeito, for example, prefersthe addition of privacy and other rights toadapt the charter to societal changes since1947, rather than revisions to the existinglanguage.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Writer asksaction againstRep. DurhamTo The Editor:

I remember the time my friendcame out to me about her sexualassault. It was difficult. It was hard.And there were many tears.

The challenges women have toface in this society are reprehensi-ble, but what is even more disgust-ing is those who stand aside andsay nothing when they have thepower to do otherwise.

A few days ago, the TennesseeAttorney General reported that 22women had been sexually harassedand/or assaulted by Rep. JeremyDurham (R-Franklin). As someonewho has seen the effects of sexualassault, I — along with others —took to addressing the issue withBradley County state representa-tives Kevin Brooks and Dan Howell.

The Banner published an article

calling for them to speak outagainst this behavior. Here’s whatthey’ve done: Nothing.

When reached out to for a com-ment, here’s what they’ve said:Nothing.

I then attempted to follow-up onsocial media, tagging Rep. Brooksin a post that asked, “As assistantmajority leader, will you and yourparty encourage its 73-membermajority to act on their words andexpel Durham?”

Here is his response: He blockedme.

Albert Einstein once gave us thisbit of advice, “The world will not bedestroyed by those who do evil, butby those who watch them withoutdoing anything.”

Representatives Kevin Brooksand Dan Howell not only ignored usand the countless victims of sexualassault, but made an effort tosilence us.

We will not be silenced.— Blake Kitterman

A life filled with baptisms, Miss Mama and thunderstormsEvery other Sunday, Rev. Phillips of

the Church of the Holy Spirit, per-formed weddings and baptisms.

The little church was just over theback fence of my grandmother's farmin Middle Tennessee.

Elizabeth was my grandmother’s —Miz Lena — maid. She was also aproud and prominent member of Rev.Phillips' congregation.

In my early childhood, I oftenattended church with her. Everymember of the church was black. Itwasn't uncommon for the good rev-erend to preach for a couple of hours,marry off a couple into holy matrimo-ny and then head down to the nearbycreek to baptize a half-dozen parish-ioners who felt the need to get closerto God.

The oldest member of the churchwas Miss Mama. Everyone gave herplenty of room. She was known to bea little touched. Just not quite right.She got baptized over and over. Shewas a little bitty lady — white hairand a few small moles around hereyes.

Every Sunday, she wore her samepurple dress, accessorized with glovesand a little black hat, with a hairpinstuck through it. She brought a whitesheet in a paper bag with her on bap-tizing days. She'd take off her churchclothes and wrap the sheet aroundher and walk out to the middle of thecreek into Rev. Phillips' waiting arms.

Miss Mama sat right next to

Elizabeth and me in a pew a few rowsback from the reverend's podium. Shetalked to herself. She would carry onabout her two sisters living in sin orabout her rooster. Sometimes, she'dstart clucking like a chicken. Rev.Phillips would stop his sermon andask Miss Mama if she could pleasetalk with her chicken after the servicewas over. She'd smile and wave tohim. I don't think she really everheard what the reverend said.

When the singing started, MissMama would stand up and wave herhands toward Heaven. She'd be smil-ing from ear to ear. She had a lot ofthe Holy Spirit in her. I figured it wasbecause she'd been baptized so manytimes.

After the baptisms, we'd all walkback up to the church and red-and-white plastic tablecloths were spreadout over a few picnic tables that satunder some big shade trees in front ofthe church. Music came from some-where.

The older women sat at the tableswhile the younger folks served uppotluck fresh vegetables and fried

chicken on heavy paper plates. Themen all stood up by the church stepsand talked. None of the children wereallowed to go up there and botherthem.

I knew a lot of the kids there. Theywere the offspring of the sharecrop-pers that worked on my grandmother'sfarm. There were a few other olderkids that came in from nearby farms. Iwas the only white child there.

While the grown-ups socialized, wekids stripped down to our underwearand went swimming in the same spotof the creek that Miss Mama and oth-ers had been spiritually sanitized.

The only time I can ever rememberthinking that I was something special,because of the color of my skin, waswhen one of the women of the congre-gation came down to the bank of thecreek and yelled for us to get out ofthe water "right now.” It was begin-ning to thunder and lightning.

The other kids obediently got rightout. I stayed in the water, thinkingthat her demands just didn't apply tome. After all, I was white.

This lady kept telling me I had bet-ter listen to her. I just looked at her.To my amazement, she took off hershoes and tucked the bottom of herdress into her belt, stepped into thecreek and made a bee line for me.

She grabbed me by my arm andshook me while she told me, "Boy,who do you think you are? You betterget yo’ liddle white butt up out this

water. You think I'm playin’?”Her aggressiveness shocked me.

Elizabeth, nor Dimple — anotherblack lady who worked for Grandmom— ever laid a hand on me.

When Elizabeth and I got back upto the big house, Elizabeth toldGrandmom what had happened. Icould hear Miz Lena's footsteps com-ing my way. I was relieved to see shewas not carrying a switch.

She began, "Don't you ever let mehear about you being disrespectful toany adult. I don't care if they're black,white, red or blue. When a grown-uptells you to do something, Mister, youhad better come a runnin'. Don't youever embarrass Elizabeth at herchurch, in front of her friends, everagain. Do you understand me?”

I told her I did."Now, you get yourself up from

here, and go out there to the kitchenand apologize to Elizabeth. Did youforget that you're her guest?”

I was still a little surprised thatGrandmom wasn't upset that theblack woman had grabbed me.

Grandmom said, "You're lucky Iwadn't down there. I wudda showedyou what it feels like to have a redbutt. She was tryin' to get you outtathat creek before lightnin' got ya.”

She went on, “There was a littleboy, looked just like you, who would-n't get outta the water and got struckby lightnin'. He was so weak that hecouldn't swim back in. Ever'body was

callin' for him, but he couldn'tanswer’em. He was too weak.

“He started frizzin up, from thelightnin', and floatin' downstream.And they couldn't save him. And thenall the snakes swum up to him andstarted bitin' him and eatin' on him.That was the last they ever saw ofhim. You better be glad that womansnatched you up outta there, before itwas too late.”

I apologized to Elizabeth. I startedto cry because I felt so badly that Ihad embarrassed her.

Elizabeth smiled down at me andsaid, "It's OK, Sweet Boy. Now doesyou feel better? ‘Cause, when youstop cryin', I'll cut you off a slice ofyo’ grandmama banana cake.”

She was such an understandingsoul.

Thank God for Elizabeth and MizLena. They loved me and taught meso much, each in her own way.

The SPCA of Bradley Countyintroduce you to Halligan and issoliciting donations for the AngelFund to provide treatment forHalligan, who was brought to theSPCA Shelter as a stray by a goodSamaritan.

Halligan was in dire need ofmedical attention. This poor boyhas almost no fur and his body isriddled with sores and openwounds.

Most observers would assumehe has a severe case of mange,but that would be incorrect.

His body was covered in fleaswhich led to a severe allergicreaction. This resulted in his hairfalling out and the formation ofopen sores.

One would think that an ani-mal in that condition would havea poor disposition. However,such was not the case withHalligan who is very sweetnatured and wins the heart ofeveryone he meets.

His care and way back to goodhealth will be a long one. His caseis just one of the reasons ourAngel Fund is so very importantto the abused, neglected, andunwanted animals in our com-munity.

The Angel Fund allows us totreat medical conditions thatcould certainly mean the differ-ence between life and death.Every little bit truly does help. Noamount is too small.

Atlanta’s pin fever returns with the 2016 Olympics

ATLANTA (AP) — Penny Heyns,the South African swimmer whohad just won gold in the 100meter and the 200 meter breast-stroke, was standing around theGeorgia Tech natatorium, herhair still wet, when Scott Reedstruck up a conversation.

Soon they were exchanginggifts.

If you wonder how a mild-man-nered Atlanta banker is able tomeet an international celebritylike Heyns, the answer is thatReed was carrying the ultimatecurrency: a bag full of Olympicpins.

“It’s a way to interact with otherpeople you would never interactwith otherwise,” said Reed, 59,thinking back to that day duringthe 1996 Atlanta Games, when hesaw Kerry Strug’s valiant vault,watched the finals in women’sswimming, and scored a SouthAfrican pin from Heyns.

As the 2016 Olympics begin inRio de Janeiro later this summer,Atlanta’s pin collectors will rousethemselves from their two-yearhibernation and begin tradingagain.

Though the Atlanta Gameshappened 20 years ago, the eventspawned a population of hobby-ists, whose activities pick upsteam with every summer andwinter Olympics.

A group of collectors set uptables at Centennial Olympic Parkon a recent Saturday, during cel-ebrations of the 20th anniversaryof the Atlanta Games, and tradingwas brisk.

Most are casual traders, whowill enjoy reliving memories ofthose riotous 17 days in 1996when the world came to visit.Some of those casual collectors

got more wrapped up in thehobby than others.

Josh Jackson, 44, was freshout of college with a journalismdegree in 1994, when he and hisfamily caught the fever. Pin trad-ing had already begun in Atlanta,though the games were a year anda half away, when his mothergave his father some pins for aChristmas stocking-stuffer.

Eventually Jackson and hisbrother Rich started publishing a48-page collector’s guide calledPindemonium, which cost $5.99,came out monthly and had about1,000 subscribers.

They learned to sell advertis-ing, shoot pictures, create lay-outs, write stories — in short,Jackson had a crash course increating a magazine, studyingalmost everything he would needto know when he and some col-leagues started Paste Magazine in2002.

“It was good training,” Jacksonsaid. It was also a fun familyactivity. He and his brother andtheir father, Richard Jackson,kept publishing Pindemoniumafter the Atlanta Games, and vis-ited Salt Lake City; Sydney;Nagano, Japan; and even stoppedin to Lausanne, Switzerland, dur-ing the bidding process for the2004 Games.

Jackson will travel to Rio forPaste Magazine to shoot videoand write stories about the RioGames.

And you can be sure he’ll bringsome traders along.

Pin-heads stress that no oneshould expect to make money offpins. David Hackett, 48, is tryingto unload a few thousand pins,most of which he’s had since theend of the Atlanta Games.

Back then, he moved fromAnnapolis, Maryland, toDunwoody to run a cluster ofsouvenir shops set up in tents allover downtown Atlanta. But thepredicted crowds of 7 million did-n’t show up, and after the bombwent off in Centennial OlympicPark, the GBI and the FBI shutdown his tents in the park.

“I lost my rear end,” saidHackett, though he still soundssanguine about the experience. “Iliked the people, I liked every-thing.” He bounced back withportable NASCAR souvenir shopsset up in 18-wheelers that hewould drive from track to track.

Pin collecting reached a peakduring the Atlanta Games, whenthe variety expanded dramatical-ly. Sponsors, corporations, ath-letic teams, venues, NationalOlympic Committees, media,security details all created pins —up to 50,000 different ones bysome estimates.

Hackett is keeping his collec-tion of pins from police and sher-iff’s departments and other secu-rity outfits. Of the rest, he says, “Ihope they’re worth somethingsome day.”

Still, the pins can offer a diver-sion, and even open up opportu-nities. Reed said that pin-tradinghas paid for trips to London,Athens, Salt Lake City andVancouver, and earlier this year,he took his family to Gothenburg,Sweden, for a meeting of Olympiccollectors.

“Then we went to Norway andvisited the fjords,” he said.“Basically I got my trip for freeand theirs was less expensivethan it would have been. I wouldnever have done that if I didn’tcollect Olympic pins.”

Millions of orchids are growing onformer mine site in upstate N.Y.

STAR LAKE, N.Y. (AP) —Millions of orchids are now grow-ing in a hundred-acre wetland inthe Adirondack Park that devel-oped on waste from a vast open-pit iron mine, a transformationscientists say is most impressivebecause it happened naturally.

“It’s a testament to nature’sability to heal itself,” said GreteBader, a graduate student whorecently wrote her master’s thesisabout the plant life at the formerBenson Mines, about 35 milesfrom the Canadian border.

The wetland, which remainsprivately owned and off limits tothe public, formed on part ofthousands of acres of coarse sandleft over when granite ore wascrushed to extract iron from 1900until 1978. That bare sand even-tually gave way to moss, lichen,grasses, sedges and trees, includ-ing willows, poplars and tama-racks.

Orchids arrived as dust-likeseeds from surrounding areas.The wetland is now home to sixspecies of bog orchids, includingmillions of rose pogonias andgrass pinks.

“I’ve been involved in orchid-rich habitats all over the countryfor 40 years, and I’ve never seenanything like this,” said DonaldLeopold, a professor at the StateUniversity of New York College ofEnvironmental Science andForestry.

Leopold first explored the site30 years ago, but the staggeringnumber of orchids wasn’t quanti-fied until recently when his grad-uate student, Bader, tallied themup in her thesis.

Several factors contribute tothe thriving plant community atthe site, Bader said, including avariety of fungi that colonize aplant’s root system and enhanceits ability to absorb nutrients.

“What’s really cool to me as aplant ecologist is how this sitewent from bare mine tailings to adiverse wetland plant communityover the past 60 years on its own,without any formal restorationinitiative,” Bader said during arecent visit to the site.

Bader and Leopold suggestthat the site would be a worthyaddition to the AdirondackForest Preserve if the owner was

interested in selling it to thestate.

But the landowner’s lawyersays there are no plans to sell theland or allow public access.“Benson Mines wasn’t evenaware of the orchids until theresearchers made them public,”said attorney Bernard Melewski.

He said the orchid site is asmall part of about 2,000 acresof sand and crushed stone min-ing waste that the companyhopes to ship to markets when anearby railroad spur is renovat-ed.

Even if the site remainsuntouched by development, theorchids may be a fleeting phe-nomenon as the natural forcesthat brought them here continueto reshape the landscape.Already, an aggressive non-native reed called phragmites ischoking out other plants in largeswaths of the wetland.

“The orchids here today requirefull sun,” Bader said. “Betweeninvasive plants and natural suc-cession to a closed canopy tama-rack-black spruce bog, we’regoing to see them decline.”

Ready or Not: Rio Olympics open doors at Athletes Village

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) —Ready or not, the Rio Olympicsare opening their doors.

The Games begin in just overtwo weeks, but the AthletesVillage opens officially onSunday, meaning 10,500 ath-letes and another 7,000 staffmembers will start trickling intothe luxurious layout, with thepace picking up daily until theAug. 5 opening ceremony at theMaracana Stadium.

The 31-building compoundshould pamper the world’s best.It’s set among tennis courts,soccer fields, seven swimmingpools — with mountains and thesea as a backdrop — and toppedoff by a massive dining-kitchencompound that’s as large asthree football fields.

“I want to help all the athleteshave a wonderful welcome toBrazil,” said Priscilla Antonello,a residence center deputy man-ager whose job is to help ath-letes find their accommodations.

Will she be star-struck by somany Olympians?

“I couldn’t be in this job if Ibehaved like that,” she repliedSaturday, standing on the 13thfloor of one of buildings, gazingout over cycling paths, bubblingfountains and lots of green.

She already knows whichcountries will be where, butshe’s not allowed to say.

Some delegations had already

arrived on Saturday, easy tospot with banners or flags hang-ing off the sides of buildings.

Slovenia had the best banner.In green and white it says: “IFeel sLOVEenia.” The LOVE por-tion was set off in white type,making sure the message gotacross.

Another read: “All forDenmark.”

Banners or flags from Canada,Britain, Portugal, Finland andSweden were among those spot-ted. A tiny red and yellowChinese flag was pinned nearthe top of one of the compounds.

Everything about the village ismassive, though fairly standardfor recent Summer Olympics.

Organizers say the compoundhas:

— 10,160 rooms; 18,000beds; seven laundries; an enor-mous, hospital-like clinic; amassive gym.

In addition, organizers areproviding 450,000 condoms,three times more than Londondid four years ago. Among themwill be 100,000 female condoms.

Organizers said this is toencourage safe sex. Many hadconsidered that increased sup-ply to be due to Brazil’s outbreakof the Zika virus, which hasbeen linked to birth defects.

Asked about it on Saturday,deputy chief medical officerMarcelo Patricio replied: “No, it’s

not.”Then there’s the dining-

kitchen area, a sprawling tentwhere officials expect to serveabout 60,000 meals daily toOlympians and staff — and per-haps another 10,000 daily to thehired help.

“The hardest part is knowinghow much to prepare,” saidFlavia Albuquerque, who over-sees Rio’s food and beverageservice. “We want them to eatanything they want to.”

That will be easy. The choicesare nearly infinite. Diners willchoose from different buffets —Brazilian, Asian, International,and Pasta and Pizza. Thenthere’s a casual dining area thatwill feature barbeque.

“The casual area might be themost popular,” Albuquerquesaid.

There will be lots of dirtyplates, but none to wash. Theplates will be biodegradable,made of corn and sugar cane.

Brazilians figure their foodwill be a hit: rice, black beans,farofa (flour from toasted cassa-va often sprinkled on top of food)and meat. And Brazil’s exoticjuice will be popular: caju, acai,carambola, caqui, goiaba andmaracuja, often squeezed intojuices — sucos in Portuguese.

cials have repeatedly cited thedifference between collectiveand individual punishment.

“It is obvious,” Bach said lastweek, “that you cannot punish abadminton player for infringe-ment of rules or manipulationby an official or a lab director inthe Winter Games.”

For many in the anti-dopingcommunity, however, the choiceis simple: The extent of state-backed doping in Russia hastainted the country’s entiresports system and the only wayto ensure a level playing field isto bar the whole team, even ifsome innocent athletes will loseout.

Former WADA president DickPound, a senior IOC memberfrom Canada, accused Bach of

dithering and failing to live upto his “zero tolerance” line ondoping. He said the IOC will facea backlash if it decides against afull ban.

“I think it will go down verybadly,” Pound told TheAssociated Press. “I think therewill be an athletes’ revolt, apublic revolt, maybe even thesponsors. You’ve got to takecontrol of it, and show yourleadership. The hesitationmakes it looks worse andworse.”

If the IOC hands the authorityto the sports federations, theymay not have all the informa-tion they need from theMcLaren report to act. Somesports, such as gymnastics,were not cited in the report and

feel there is no justification toban Russians. And the federa-tions all have different rules.

Wrestling accounted for 28 ofthe 312 positive tests that werecovered up by Russia between2011 and 2015, according toMcLaren’s report. NenadLalovic, president of wrestling’sinternational federation, said heasked WADA to send himspecifics but had yet to receiveanything.

“This is madness,” he saidSaturday in a telephone inter-view with AP. “What can I dowithout any evidence? Do I havetime to process these cases? Dothe accused have a right toappeal? It’s a legal minefield. If Itry to ban someone, they willtake us to court and we will

lose.”Russia is the dominant force

in the sport and would enter 17athletes for the Rio Games,where the wrestling competitionstarts on Aug. 14. Lalovic, aSerb who is also an IOC mem-ber, claimed the investigationhad created an atmosphere of“hysteria” and he criticized for-mer WADA president JohnFahey of Australia for calling foran outright ban.

“I’m not here to defendRussia,” Lalovic said. “Theyhave to pay. But everyone has totake responsibility, includingWADA. It’s a no-win situation.Whatever decision the IOCmakes, they will look bad.”

WADA and many nationalanti-doping agencies and ath-

letes’ groups have led the callsfor a total Russian ban fromRio.

A coalition of 14 nationalanti-doping agencies sent a let-ter to Bach saying the IOC’s ini-tial response did not meet hispledge of the “toughest sanc-tions available.” The groupcalled on the IOC to suspendthe Russian Olympic Committeeand set up a task force thatcould allow certain Russians tocompete under a neutral flag ifproven to be clean.

“Any Russian Olympic sportathlete who had not been sub-ject to independent testing inrecent months should not be inRio,” Richard Ings, former headof Australia’s anti-dopingagency, told the AP.

it. They become better players.As a result, they get absorbed inthe culture and that culture theybring back to their respectiveteams, and ultimately they bene-fit.”

Colangelo wasn’t certain aboutCousins as a young player, say-ing in 2012 that he needed to be“more mature as a person, as aplayer” and had “a lot of growingup to do.”

He now believes they have agreat relationship that’s devel-oped over time.

As has Cousins’ role with theU.S. program. He backed upAnthony Davis in the 2014Basketball World Cup, but withDavis recovering from injuries,Cousins has a good chance tostep into the starting role.

The Americans started DwightHoward at center in 2008 andTyson Chandler in 2012. Bothare former NBA defensive playersof the year, but neither possessesCousins’ offensive repertoire.

“DeMarcus is a different play-er,” said U.S. veteran CarmeloAnthony, who then focused notonly on what Cousins brings, butwhat he can bring home.

“He’s a big who can shoot, he’sa big who can post, he’s tough,he’s a hell of a rebounder,”Anthony said. “But the mostexciting thing I like about havingDeMarcus out here now is hegets a chance to see how every-body else is working. Work ethic.To see him jumping into lines, tosee him asking can somebodywork with him, staying after,coming in before, that work ethicis something that it spills over toeverybody else. When you seeyour peers working that hard, itmakes you want to be a part ofthat.”

Cousins doesn’t like compar-ing the U.S. experience to his proone, but praises the way theAmericans do little things thatget forgotten in the NBA. Hecame to camp in great shape and

seems committed to being a goodteammate, whether he starts orbacks up the Clippers’ DeAndreJordan.

“He’s totally invested in whatwe’re doing,” Krzyzewski said.

Next up for Cousins and theAmericans is their second exhi-bition game on Sunday againstChina in Los Angeles.

When it’s over, Durant andThompson will return to anNBA team with title hopes.Cousins’ future might be theusual losing and trade rumors,so he’ll miss being around awinning team.

But maybe he can help buildone.

“When you leave winning sit-uations, it’s always going to behard. I mean, who doesn’t enjoywinning?” Cousins said. “ButI’m also always ready to getback. I’m ready to share myexperience with my teammates... get the season kicked off onthe right foot.”

Green was well known for his“Denny-isms,” unique phraseslike “Plan your work and workyour plan,” which he would oftensay during practice.

“I still use that ‘Denny-ism’today,” Raiders coach Jack DelRio said. “Coach Green is goingto be missed dearly by everyonethat was lucky enough to knowhim.”

Green was also an avid drum-mer, and Moss said on ESPN’s

“NFL Live” that “we had a teamand one thing he taught us wasto play to one beat. His legacywill live on.”

Born Feb. 17, 1949, inHarrisburg, Pennsylvania, Greenonce said he was struck bywatching early Big Ten footballgames and seeing bothMinnesota and Iowa puttingtogether successful seasonsbehind black quarterbacks.Green enrolled at Iowa, too, andplayed running back for theHawkeyes from 1968-70. Heplayed for the BC Lions inCanada in 1971 before returningto coach in college, beginning atDayton in 1973 and graduallyclimbing to bigger programs.Green was also a head coach atStanford and served as an assis-tant to Bill Walsh on the domi-nant 49ers teams of the 1980s.

“All of us at the Cardinals areincredibly saddened by the newsof Dennis Green’s passing,”Cardinals President MichaelBidwell said. “Coach Green willrightly be remembered as a true

innovator, leader and pioneeramong football coaches. Weexpress our deepest sympathy tohis family and his many friends.”

The family asked that in lieu offlowers, contributions be made tothe Boys and Girls Club of SanDiego.

“He did so much for me,”tweeted former coach TonyDungy, who was a defensivecoordinator under Green withthe Vikings. “Was looking for-ward to saying thanks at HOF.Tomorrow not promised.”

during two injury-plagued sea-sons. Clowney played just fourgames as a rookie before havingseason-ending microfracturesurgery. He recovered from thatfor the start of last season, butmissed three games andHouston’s playoff match withvarious ailments. He did showflashes of the potential he dis-played in college, though, andfinished with 4 1/2 sacks andforced a fumble.

“It’s frustrating. It feels likeyou’re letting the team downwhen you’re not out there,”Clowney said. “Injuries happen,you’ve just got to be mentallytough to come back and show theguys you are ready to play.”

Miller’s potential: The Texanssnagged an intriguing playerwhen they drafted Braxton Miller

in the third round. Miller was thetwo-time Big Ten offensive playerof the year in 2012 and 2013after throwing from more than2,000 yards and rushing formore than 1,000 in both of thoseseasons. He sat out for a seasonwith a shoulder injury beforemoving to receiver last year,when he finished with 26 recep-tions for 341 yards.

Miller is happy with hisprogress since making the move.

New center: The Texans willlikely have rookie second-roundpick Nick Martin at center afterBen Jones, who started everygame the last two seasons,signed with Titans. He is theyounger brother of Zack Martin,a first-round pick by theCowboys in 2014 and a two-timePro-Bowler at guard.

Staying coursefor a daughter

Dear Dave,Our daughter is a special

needs child, who doctors saywill live about half as long as theaverage adult. There’s also agood chance she will be underour care her entire life.

We just finished Baby Step 3of your plan, so we have all ofour debt paid off except for thehouse, and we have an emer-gency fund of three to sixmonths of expenses saved. Wehave health insurance, too.

However, we were wonderinghow the situation with our littlegirl affects retirement planningand college funding?

— Jonathan

Dear Jonathan,I know this may sound

strange, but the situation withyour daughter really doesn’taffect things all that much. Theonly real difference is that itsounds like you’ll be responsiblefor your sweet daughter for theforeseeable future — not justuntil she’s 18 or 21.

If you don’t already have it,you and your wife should bothbuy 10 to 12 times your annualincomes in term life insurance.

Make sure the money from thepolicies is set up to go into aspecial needs trust that wouldbe managed for her care. Thatway, your baby will be takencare of in the event somethingunexpected happens to you.

Otherwise, just keep followingmy plan. Baby Step 4 means youstart putting 15 percent of yourincome into pre-tax retirementplans, like Roth IRAs and mutu-al funds.

Baby Step 5 is college fund-ing, if that’s a consideration forher, followed by paying off yourhome early. Then, of course, thelast Baby Step is buildingwealth and giving.

Financially speaking, you’relooking at filling a need in theevent of your deaths. Thisshould be covered by life insur-ance or investments.

If you reach a point whereyour investments are substan-tial, and money from thosethings can adequately cover herneeds and the needs of yourfamily, then you can alwaysdrop the insurance policies.

God bless you all, Jonathan.

Time to raise prices?

Dear Dave,My husband has his own one-

man painting business, and Ihelp him with the books.

We were wondering how youknow when it’s time to imple-ment a price increase. Also,what should the increase be?

— Lauren

Dear Lauren,I grew up in the real estate

business, so I’ll use the apart-ment-complex model as myexample.

If your building is completelyfull, then it’s time to raise pricesa little bit until you have avacancy. In this type of sce-nario, you want a healthy levelof vacancy, meaning you’realways going to be losing somecustomers as you go up inprices.

In your husband’s case, if he’sbooked through the end of themonth, he’s way underpriced.Just keep on turning in yourbids, and don’t make a big dealabout things. It isn’t like a ten-ant, in your case, where you’regoing back time and time againexcept in rare cases.

You might start with a 10 per-cent increase, and see whathappens for a while. If that goeswell, wait a bit and raise themanother 10 percent.

There are only so many hoursin a day this guy can work, sothe only other option is to takeon staff. But before I startstaffing, I’m going to raise pricesand cut the number of cus-tomers that way.

In most cases with the con-struction business, if you showup when you say you will, com-plete the job when you say youwill, and you do high qualitywork, there’s almost no ceilingon what you can make!

ALYSON BUTLER recently put her medical skills to use on a med-ical missions trip to Haiti.


IT HAS BEEN 10 years since basketball star Alyson Butler gradu-ated from Walker Valley High School.

which is like a school recordbecause we've never had morethan two,” she said through alaugh. “They are all freshmen but

its going to be fun. I love all thegirls on my team, they are fun toplay with. I can't wait to see howwe do.”

to Tennessee to attend LincolnMemorial University, where sheearned her Master of MedicalScience in Physician AssistantStudies and became a PA-C.

“I have a teammate/bestfriend from college, we actuallywent to the same PA school. Wealways talked about how we feltprepared by being athletesthroughout our lives. Timemanagement, discipline, work-ing as a team have really playeda role in getting through PAschool and being in the medicalfield. It was not easy gettingthrough PA school, it was prob-ably one of the most difficultthings, but I felt prepared fromthat aspect,” she described.

According to Butler, collegewas difficult physically, whilePA school was difficult mental-ly.

“I would say that time man-agement (was the most difficultaspect of PA school), but thatreally issue wasn’t an issue forme. Imagine being in the class-room constantly from 8-5 andnot being able to leave, listeningto lectures; then going home,having dinner, working out andthen studying for the rest of thenight. In college I could go toclass, go to practice, go and mixup the environment.”

The hard work paid off forButler, who moved toTallahassee after graduating towork for the Southern MedicalGroup in Cardiology-Electrophysiology.

Having spent just shy of twoyears in Florida, the PA-C decid-ed it was time to return home.

“My grandmother suddenlydied and that was really the rea-son why I (decided) that I need-ed to get closer to home and becloser to family. I’ve been back ayear now,” she said. “My mom isespecially happy that I’m 45minutes away and not six and ahalf hours.”

Butler, who resides inChattanooga, was employed by

ApolloMD as an EmergencyMedicine Physician Assistant atCornerstone Medical Center inFort Oglethorpe, Ga., whichused to be the old HutchinsonHospital. Shortly after, she alsobegan to work at AFC UrgentCare on Gunbarrel Road inChattanooga.

“It’s usually about 10 to 11hour days depending on whereI work,” Butler commented. “Itgoes by quickly, because we’reusually busy. A PA is a part ofthe team under the physicianas far as care of the patient.We can practice autonomous-ly, but we also practice withinthe team. Ultimately we don’thave as much responsibilityas a physician but still diag-nose, treat and evaluatepatients, but if there was anissue then we consult thephysician that we’re workingwith that day.”

A question that Butler is oftenasked is whether or not shewants to go back to school tobecome a doctor.

“I’m not going to go backand be a physician, this iswhat I went to school to doand there is not a desire to bea physician.”

The variety of patients thatButler gets to work with nowis one of the reasons why sheenjoys working in the ER andin urgent care. Now, threeyears out of school and intoher career, the PA-C isunsure of where life will takeher, but knows that it will becareer -centered for the timebeing.

“I don’t know where I’ll endup as far as staying inChattanooga,” Butler comment-ed. “I really do love theER/urgent care setting andwant to continue that. I alsohave found an interest in med-ical missions. I went to Haitijust a few months ago andwould love to do a mission everyyear.”

bly can over the last threedays to get ready for this racethe best way that I can,” hesaid.

Gordon is the only five-timeBrickyard winner and canbecome the first driver to everwin six times at Indy.

He’s not eligible to makethe Chase — even with a win— because he hasn’t compet-ed in enough races. But ifthe No. 88 car makesNASCAR’s playof fs andEarnhardt is not cleared todrive, Hendrick could keepGordon, who kept the dooropen to running more races ifneeded.

Earnhardt’s recoveryappears to be progressing,though.

“Today is the 1st day inmany that I sensed improve-ment,” he wrote Friday onTwitter. “Seen small gains dur-ing my physical therapy aswell. Light at the end of thetunnel.”

Earnhardt also missed tworaces in 2012 with a concus-sion, causing some concernabout the future plans of theseries’ most popular driver.Hendrick said he has discusseda contract extension beyondnext season but would rather

see Earnhardt focus on gettinghealthy right now.

Until then, other driversexpect Gordon to be an immedi-ate factor.

“He could win it (Sunday) andsurprise us,” defending winnerKyle Busch said. “I think realis-tically, he’ll be top 10.”

It’s not the first timeGordon was approached thisseason about making areturn, either.

He also said he was asked tofill in for the injured TonyStewart in February atDaytona. Gordon, who waswith Stewart when he wasinjured riding an off-road vehi-cle, declined the invite becauseof his commitment to work onFox Sports’ broadcast.

“I would have been all for it,”Stewart said with a smile. “Imean the least he could havedone is, he broke my back, theleast he could have done isdrive for me.”

Gordon also acknowledged itwill be strange to race againstChase Elliott, who took over inGordon’s familiar No. 24 carafter the 2015 season finale atHomestead.

But for now, he’ll put thepace-car driving duties on holdas he tries to win for the 94th

time in his career.“Really, this is just me help-

ing out the organization,”Gordon said. “We will see whathappens on Sunday.”

Kyle Busch stays hot at Indy

by taking Brickyard 400 pole(AP) — Kyle Busch will try to

defend his Brickyard 400 winfrom the pole Sunday.

Busch posted a fast lap of184.634 mph, just ahead ofJoe Gibbs Racing teammateCarl Edwards at 184.547.Three-time Cup championand two-time Brickyard win-ner Tony Stewart will startthird in his final race at Indyafter posting a speed of184.328.

Stewart will retire after thisseason.

Five-time race winner JeffGordon will start 21st in the40-car field after failing toadvance to the final round.Gordon’s best lap of the day,184.543, was good enough toreach the second round ofqualifying. But Gordon’s bestspeed in Round 2 dropped to181.851.

Gordon is making his sea-son debut in the No. 88 car,replacing the injured DaleEarnhardt Jr.

is done and dusted,” Froome said.Spanish rider Jon Izagirre won

the rainy penultimate stage byattacking on the slippery descentfrom the Col de Joux Plane intoMorzine.

Jarlinson Pantano of Colombiafinished second, 19 secondsbehind Izagirre, while 2014 cham-pion Vincenzo Nibali crossed third,42 seconds back. All three riderswere part of an early breakaway.

Izagirre had enough time to claphis hands together in celebrationas he crossed the line and securedhis first career stage win in theTour, having also won a stage inthe 2012 Giro d’Italia.

Izagirre was in front on thedescent when Pantano made aslight error and had to put his leftfoot to the ground to regain con-trol, which also slowed Nibali.

Izagirre was clocked at 85 kph(53 mph) on the descent.

“I think my parents must havebeen scared watching at home,” hesaid. “I wanted to drop Nibalibecause I was worried about himin a sprint. ... Beating Nibali in adownhill is something that countsin a career.”

Until this stage, Izagirre hadbeen a support rider for Movistarteammate Quintana, a two-timeTour runner-up who had designson winning this Tour.

“We came here with the yellowdream but Froome was thestrongest,” Izagirre said. “At theend of the day, we’re happy with aspot on the podium, a stage winand the team’s classification victo-ry.”

A minute of silence was held atthe start of the stage to mournthe nine victims of Friday’sshooting in Munich. Froome and

the other leaders of the Tourwere joined by German nationalchampion Andre Greipel at thefront of the peloton as ridersremoved their helmets and stoodsilently.

Froome will likely be sippingChampagne in Sunday’s 113-kilometer (70-mile) leg fromChantilly to Paris, which shouldbe decided in a mass sprint.

Britain's Chris Froome, left, rides downhill in the rain during the20th stage of the Tour de France Saturday, in Morzine-Avoriaz,France.

His ensuing chip rolled a fewfeet past the hole, but he neverhad to putt it after Lee calmlyrolled in his birdie putt for a 1-up lead.

On the par-5 35th, Goodwinfound the green with his sec-ond, while Lee’s approach cameup just short in a grass bunker.Goodwin’s long downhill eagletry rolled 9 feet by the hole. Leefollowed with a perfect flop shotthat stopped 3½ feet from theflagstick. Goodwin pulled hispar putt and as Lee was liningup the potential championship-winning putt, the USGA blewthe horn because of inclementweather.

Lee, the 2015 WesternAustralia Amateur champion,smiled as he walked off thegreen to a waiting cart. Whenthe players returned to thecourse, it took all of a few sec-onds for Lee to convert theshort birdie putt. He hugged hislocal Honors Course caddie,Reid Smith, his mother, Clara,and Brad James, GolfAustralia’s director of high per-formance.

“I had a few minutes to cometogether and just think aboutthat putt, and think about theother putts that I’ve had similarto that one,” said Lee. “I misseda few low, so I thought I wouldhit it a bit higher. It went rightin the middle.”

In the morning 18, Goodwinbuilt a 2-up lead through thefirst nine holes, only to see Leewin holes 10 and 11 to squarethe match.

“I guess it was good and badin a different way,” said Lee of

constantly playing catch-up inthe morning. “I knew I had tostick my head out and just dowhat I’ve been doing every sin-gle day. Me and Reid did a greatjob on every shot. Every shot wehit was precise.”

The two halved the next threeholes before Goodwin and Leealternated winning Nos. 15-18,with Lee closing the round witha 14-foot birdie.

“I learned I can play with thebest [junior] players in theworld,” said Goodwin of histakeaway from the week. “I kindof already knew that, but it’salways nice to just have moreexperience doing it and every-thing. My wedges were greatthis week, and that was one ofthe things that kept me goingthe entire time. I just need topolish up my irons a little bitmore, though, and I can do thatover a period of time.”

When asked to sum up hismemories of the week andcourse, Lee said: “It’s the bestcourse I’ve ever played. It’s agreat match-play course. It’schallenging in every way.”

Both finalists are exemptinto next month’s U.S.Amateur at Oakland HillsCountry Club outside ofDetroit, and are exempt intosectional qualifying for the2017 U.S. Open. They are alsoexempt into next year’s U.S.Junior Amateur at Flint HillsNational in Andover, Kan. Withthe age limit changing to 18next year, Goodwin also will beexempt into the 2018 JuniorAmateur at Baltusrol GolfClub.

“I’m excited. I know I’ve beenplaying really well,” Wheatcroftsaid. “My swing has really beenclicking the last few weeks. I’vehad a miserable year. I justhaven’t been able to put anythingtogether. I made some swingchanges about a month ago ortwo weeks ago in Alabama, so Iknow it’s coming.”

Jon Rahm, du Toit’s formerArizona State teammate, was inthe group at 6 under in his fourthstart since turning professional.The Spaniard eagled 16 andbirdied 18 in a 72.

Matt Kuchar also was 6 underafter a 70.

“I was hoping for a big roundtoday, but kind of stalled out just

a little bit,” Kuchar said. “Courseis tough. I didn’t drive it quite aswell as I had first two days, andit’s so crucial, driving it well.”

Top-ranked defending champi-on Jason Day was tied for 28th at2 under after a 69. He shot a 76on Friday after opening with a 69.

“Definitely kept the ball out infront of me today,” Day said. “It

was easier obviously today teeingoff early. Greens were a lot morereceptive. The fairways were a lotmore receptive, as well, so theyweren’t bouncing into the roughor they weren’t bouncing into therough over the greens.”

List also was 2 under after a77. He had a triple bogey and twodouble bogeys on the back nine.

Williamson, Giants beat Yanks

in 12 innings, stop skidNEW YORK (AP) — Mac

Williamson homered in the fifthinning and hit a tiebreaking sin-gle in the 12th, lifting SanFrancisco over the New YorkYankees 2-1 Saturday for theGiants’ first victory since the All-Star break.

NL West-leading San Franciscohad lost a season-high sixstraight games and had held just

one lead since the break: whenBuster Posey hit a go-aheadhome run leading off the 10thinning at San Diego on July 16only to have the Padres rally for apair of runs in the bottom halfagainst Santiago Casilla.

Williamson, whose fourth-inning error allowed the Yankees’run, began the comeback whenhe connected off Ivan Nova lead-ing off the fifth.

Trevor Brown hit an opposite-field double to right off Anthony

Swarzak (1-1) leading off the12th, and Williamson singled upthe middle with one out, justpast the glove of diving shortstopDidi Gregorius. San Franciscowas 0 for 10 with runners inscoring position, dropping to 7for 64 (.111) since the All-Starbreak, before Williamson’s single.

Cheered on by hundreds oforange-clad fans in the Giants’old hometown, San Franciscoescaped a bases-loaded, one-outjam in the 10th when Casilla (2-

3) retired Brian McCann on ashallow flyout and Starlin Castroon a foulout. Hunter Stricklandpitched a perfect 12th for hissecond save.

San Francisco had joined the1991 Los Angeles Dodgers as theonly teams to enter the break infirst place, then lose its first sixgames of the second half, accord-ing to the Elias Sports Bureau.And after making four errors inthe series opener, San Franciscohad two more.

Ruby Phillips collects things.Her first collection started withan Oriental vase in 1993. When afriend’s mother passed away at93, Phillips bought the 12 1/2-inch vase, decorated with pea-cocks, at the estate sale.

From then on, Phillips startedfinding pieces to match. Mostcame from yard sales, auctions,estate sales and so forth, butnothing from regular stores, shesaid.

“I just got carried away forthings from Orient,” she confided— Japan, China etc.

Her home began to fill withJapanese art work, includingfour wall hangings with raisedivory figures, a chest, tables,other furniture and figurines tograce the shelves — 50 pieces onone shelf unit.

“I just couldn’t resist,” Phillipssaid. She said she was having tomove out her antiques so she’dhave room for her collections.

She said once she attended ayard sale where many Orientalfurniture pieces were for sale.The owner had bought a newhouse and “the pieces didn’tmatch the house.”

But that’s not the only collec-tion Phillips has.

Her collection of animal prints,animal-themed furniture andrugs is at home in her sunroom,which she had built in 2007. Herfavorite is a carved elephant —worth a lot more than she paid,she confessed. “It’s the mostexpensive.”

Another is an occasional tablewith an elephant head. A manhad it made in Eastern Europeand shipped it to the UnitedStates.

She even sports a few animal-print coats, which she takes

turns wearing in the wintermonths.

Her third collection includesbig vases and pottery. Herfavorite is a 31-inch tall vase.

Phillips said she had hundredsof items in her collections, but “Idon’t spend a lot on stuff — I buywhat I want.”

Of her three hobbies, Phillipssaid Oriental collecting is herfavorite. She laughed as she saidher house “is like a museum —should start charging.”

Also, she loves to take pic-tures, especially of flowers —people can find them occasional-ly in the “Your Best Shot” page inthe Banner.

Phillips was born off Highway64 and lived in the same houseuntil she graduated fromCleveland High School. Sheworked for Duracell 40 yearsfrom 1962, when it was MalloryBattery.

“I never married,” she said,“but I have plenty of children —nieces and nephews I’ve adopt-ed.” At Christmas she decoratesfor “all my kids,” and buys themschool supplies. “I find stuff forkids from Head Start to juniorhigh school — all kinfolk.”

One thing for sure, the 77-year-old collector doesn’t act herage and declares, “I can still wearskinny-legged jeans.”

Collecting items has beendescribed as the oldest, mostpopular hobby to bring peoplepleasure. From primitive collec-tions of stone tools designedthousands of years ago to col-lecting fancy automobiles andexpensive paintings, the art ofcollecting has captured theimagination of millions of peo-ple around the world.

In Bradley County, the pas-time of collecting everythingfrom Indian artifacts andantique cars to police patches,dolls and comic books, hasbecome a worthwhile and funhobby pursuit.

Hugh Hodges started collect-ing Police patches in 1984when he was director of theBradley County Juvenile Courtand a juvenile officer for theCleveland Police Departmentand Bradley County Sheriff’sOffice until he retired in 2002.He has approximately 300patches from all over theUnited States, the VirginIslands and Italy.

Hodges said he was fascinat-ed with the variety of differentpatches in the U.S., whichbecame a symbol of the dedi-cated officers throughout thecountry who stood behindthose badges. When asked howit made him feel when he heardthe news of the Dallas policeofficers who were ambushedand killed, Hodges responded,“It made me very sad andangry. Our son retired as a ser-geant with the Mesquite, Texas,Police Department, which waswhere the shooter was fromand was next to Dallas.”

Hodges, 79, said he feels thepublic should “respect andsupport the police,” and thepolice should “get to know thepeople” they are serving and tryto “interact more with the peo-ple.” He also suggested more“community policing” would

promote better working rela-tionships with local authorities.

From stamps, coins andpostcards to rocks, seashellsand art, collecting is a wonder-ful hobby that provides a feel-ing of pride and ownership

unlike any other hobby, espe-cially since the collection itselfis somewhat unique and holdsa special place in our hearts.Also, it’s been noted that thepride of a collected item offers adistinct gratification hard to

come by in other hobbies likereading or gardening, becauseof its sense of completion andvalue as something that couldbecome a profitable investment.

Without question, personalcollections can hold a special

place in our hearts and becomesome of our most valued andcherished possessions. Theycan also be a fun way of con-necting with the past while pre-serving precious memories forthe future.

Scrambled eggs baked in muffintins make mornings a lot easier

By MELISSA D’ ARABIANAssociated PressWhen it comes to healthy eat-

ing, good intentions and willpow-er can only take us so far. That’swhy I believe strongly in makingthe healthy choice the easychoice, especially when it comesto morning decisions.

Spending a little time to setmyself up for success makes ahuge difference in my ability tostick to my healthy living plans.For instance, I set out my work-out clothes the night before, sorolling out of bed and into themis a no-brainer. Should the extra15-seconds that it would take forme to open the dresser drawer tograb my exercise clothes be thething that derails an entire work-out? Perhaps not. But alas itdoes. For me, anyway.

Same thing can happen whenit comes to food. When I’m hun-gry and in a rush, I’m far morelikely to grab just anything thatwill fill my belly. But I’ll absolute-ly eat a healthy protein-filledbreakfast if it’s all prepped andready to go.

In fact, my whole family eatsbetter when I invest a little timecooking and stocking my freezerwith my own version of “fastfood.” One of our favorites is themorning egg muffin, which isessentially scrambled eggs bakedup in muffin tins.

I make a dozen or two onweekends to keep in the freezerand in less than two microwaveminutes, we have a weekdaybreakfast that is chock-full of fill-ing protein. My secret: I use twoeggs to get some of that lusciousfat, flavor, and color from theyolk and then load up on seri-ous-protein egg whites.

Use whatever veggies you haveon hand, and don’t be shy aboutloading up — even my two picki-est kiddos love these little guys!

Make several flavors when youfind eggs on sale, and you’ll havea veritable morning buffet of pro-tein for weeks. No last minutedrive-thrus to stave off thehunger on the way to work.

Ask Brianna: How should I spend my first full-time paycheck?

“Ask Brianna” is a Q&A col-umn for 20-somethings, or any-one else starting out. I’m here tohelp you manage your money,find a job and pay off studentloans — all the real-world stuffno one taught us how to do incollege. Send your questionsabout postgrad life to [email protected].

This week’s question:I just graduated from college

and I’m starting my first full-timejob soon. Is there a breakdown ofhow much of my paycheck Ishould save and spend?

My first paycheck after I grad-uated college felt like a gift fromthe gods of adulthood: The magicof direct deposit meant moneysuddenly appeared in my bankaccount every two weeks. But noone told me what to do with it.

I didn’t know how to balancesaving for a house in the futurewith buying a ticket toLollapalooza now. I didn’t sign upfor my workplace retirementaccount and missed out on cru-cial years of retirement savings. Icarried a hefty credit card bal-ance.

I’ll never forget seeing theDecemberists play Lollapaloozaduring their brief foray into progrock. But I do wish I’d booked acheaper early-bird ticket andpaid it off right away instead ofletting it languish on my creditcard, racking up interestcharges, for months. If you knowyou should be responsible withyour money but you’re not surewhere to start, follow this three-step plan — as I wish I had.

Step 1: Know how much youearn

The Class of 2016 is more like-ly to get a job that pays decentlythan I was when I graduated in2009, in the teeth of the reces-sion. Just 4.6 percent of bache-

lor’s degree holders ages 22 to 27were unemployed in December2015, down from a high of 7.1percent in February and March2011, when the economy wasslowly recovering, according tothe Federal Reserve Bank of NewYork . Median annual wages were$43,000 in 2015 for the samegroup, the highest since 2003 .

To start using that moneywisely, take a look at how muchyou bring home. After taxes anddeductions for things like healthinsurance, the amount you seein your bank account is likely tobe 65 percent to 70 percent ofyour gross pay, says BruceElliott, manager of compensationand benefits at the Society forHuman Resource Management.

Comb through your paycheckor look at your bank statementand find your net pay. That’s howmuch you have to work withwhen you’re deciding what tospend and what to save.

Step 2: Use a loose guideline —not a spreadsheet

I don’t keep a tight budget; it’stime-consuming, and Excelscares me. But you don’t need touse a spreadsheet or a fancybudgeting app to know whereyour money goes.

The 50/30/20 rule can giveyou a rough idea of how much tospend on rent if you’re planningto move, or how much to save forretirement as you sign up foryour first 401(k). Say your salaryis $43,000 a year, and that youtake home about $30,000. That’s$2,500 a month. Here’s howyou’d split it up:

—Spend 50 percent of yourtake-home pay (in this case,$1,250) on necessities: rent,food, transportation and bills.That includes student loan bills.Look into alternative studentloan repayment plans if what

you’re paying now isn’t afford-able.

—Spend 30 percent of yourpaycheck ($750) on fun stuff likeconcert tickets or your Netflixaccount.

—Put 20 percent of yourincome ($500) toward savings orgetting rid of debt other than stu-dent loans. Your priorities?Setting up an emergency fund,saving 10 percent of your incomefor retirement and paying offyour credit card balance.

Step 3: Make saving automaticBig expenses, like furniture for

a new apartment, might start toeat into that 20 percent savingsnumber. Instead, set up auto-matic transfers from checking tosavings so the money adds upwhen you’re not looking. Putanother way, “Pay yourself firstafter every pay period,” Elliott

says.For instance, put at least $50

in a high-yield online savingsaccount every month to build acushion for emergencies. It willbe there for you if you get laid off,or if your current job is crushingyour soul and you decide to free-lance for a while. Another chunkshould go to your work-spon-sored 401(k) or an individualretirement account. Your moneywill grow like crazy the more timeit has to sit there; trust your eld-ers on this.

You don’t have to think of the50/30/20 plan as a budget, ifthat word makes you want totake a nap. It’s a way to be mind-ful of the cash you bring in —and prove to your parents atThanksgiving that there’s at leastone part of this adulthood thingyou’ve got down.

Speaking on bedtime“But I don’t want to go to bed!” “Please, can I stay up just a lit-

tle bit longer? Please?” “Why can’t I watch one more

show? Why?” “You can’t make me go to bed!

I won’t. You can’t make me!” Statements such as these are

part of a typical scenario in manyhomes with young children.Parents find themselves yelling,bargaining, pleading and —sometimes — giving in to theirchild’s refusal to go to bed at areasonable hour. To avoid furtherfighting, some parents allow theirchildren to finally drop whereverthey finally succumb to sleep —in front of the television, in theplayroom, on the floor or in theparents’ bed.

Such emotional experiencesare frustrating and traumatic forboth children and their parents.Children who engage in suchpower struggles often win thebattle (no one can actually makeyou sleep) but lose the war — soto speak — as the child suffersfrom the negative confrontationsand the confusion over who is incharge.

He, too, comes to believe thatthe only way to receive neededattention is to engage in powerstruggles that may focus all theemotional and physical energiesupon him, but at the expense offeeling continually punished andrejected.

Because all children want to beloved and feel accepted with theirfamilies, this type of negativebehavior sabotages the child’sdesire to find acceptance.

Can bedtime trauma be avoid-ed? Yes. Consider the followingguidelines to help establish abedtime routine:

1. If bedtime has been a strug-

gle for some time then expectresistance, as children oftenresist change even from self-defeating behaviors.

2. Establish a reasonable bed-time for your child that providesan adequate night’s rest.

3. Forty-five minutes beforebedtime, have your child dressfor bed, eat a small bedtimesnack, have a drink and brushhis teeth. (Add another 15 min-utes if this is a bath night.)

4. Thirty minutes before bed,begin reading a bedtime story. Ifyou have more than one child,alternate turns for picking outthe storybook.

5. When the story is over, tuckyour child in bed and spend somemoments talking in a pleasanttone about the events of the dayor perhaps plans for tomorrow.Kiss your child good night whenthe actual bedtime has arrived.

6. If your child gets out of bed,return to his bed with him. Youmay comfort him by rubbing hisback, but keep him in bed.Remember: Always go to his bed.Allowing a child to come to yourbed isn’t best for you or yourchild.

7. Be consistent night afternight by refusing to give attentionto negative behavior and focusingon positive behavior. Becauseyour child is receiving the timeand attention he needs, eventual-ly he will anticipate bedtime as apleasant experience.

By consistently following thesesuggestions, you should begin tosee a change within threemonths. If you do not, considerconsulting a family therapist inorder to explore other potentialreasons that bedtime continuesto be an issue.

In world of life coaching,Jen Sincero is the sassiest

NEW YORK (AP) — We’ve got aworld of life coaches out thereoffering a world of inspirationaland instructional ways to makeour many and varied “journeys”meaningful through self help.

And then there’s Jen Sincero,the sassiest of them all.

She curses, she quotes KurtCobain and her friend Cynthia(“I’m okay, I’m not okay”) alongwith lofty authors and philoso-phers, and she titles chapters ofher hilarious, best-selling book“You are a Badass” with thingslike, “Self-Perception is a Zoo.”

Come April, fans of HerBadassness will be happy toknow she’s out with a new book,“You are a Bada$$ at MakingMoney,” from Viking.

Life coaches come and go, asdo their books and maybe eventheir talking buttons, butSincero — who lives in Santa Fe,New Mexico — speaks a lan-guage that uses irreverence forgood not evil.

A conversation with JenSincero:

—-AP: Tell us about your journey

from — in your words —Loserville to Awesome City.

Sincero: My big journey wasaround money. I was a success-ful writer, I was a musician but Iwas just always broke. Into my40s, I was scraping by. I finallyjust got so sick of it. That’s whenI really put my nose to the grind-stone and started learning every-thing I could about changing mylife.

One of the issues, which I’llwrite about in my new book, ismy dad. One of the ways that heshowed me he loved me was giv-ing me 20 bucks. Deep down inmy heart I felt like if I made a lotof money my dad wouldn’t feellike he’d be able to show me heloved me because I wouldn’tneed him anymore. The otherside of that was, I wantedmoney. I was sick of living in aconverted garage.

AP: What has happened to thiscountry where we feel the needfor life coaching so intensely?

You say your first life coach, whocost loads of money, turnedthings around.

Sincero: It’s probably like how-ever therapy started. From myexperience, there were thingsthat I was trying to do on myown, namely making money andbuilding a career for myself, thatI was just sucking at forever.

Whenever it did originate,where you get that outside helpfrom somebody, it’s so profound-ly quick and so much easier, thatI can see why it took on like wild-fire. I’m so damn glad I did it.

AP: Let’s talk about the G-word, otherwise known as God.Can we be successful withouthim/her/them?

Sincero: You know, I was sucha skeptic about that. There arepeople walking around right nowwho are successful who don’tgive a crap about God.

For me, I feel like God is intu-ition and an inner-knowing, Ithink it’s difficult to be success-ful without that because that’swhere you have to come from ifyou’re really going to knock itout of the park. For me, it’s morea sort of a universal energy.That’s one of the things I had tostart wrapping my mind around.

AP: What are you saying inthis book that hasn’t been saidmany times over — numerousinspirational quotes and all?

Sincero: To be honest, I don’tthink I’m saying anything allthat brand new. I think I’m justsaying it in a new way. Youknow, one of the motivations forme writing this book. I’ve readlike 10,000 self-help books.There was nothing that was kindof funny and curse-y and irrev-erent, and I was like, man, that’swhat this industry needs.

You can read the same thing ahundred times but somebodycan say it in a certain way andsuddenly everything changes.That’s sort of what I wanted to dowith this book, was to not onlymake it entertaining but to givesomebody who wasn’t quite get-ting it the opportunity to get itfrom a different voice.

Chrissy Teigen offers a variation on the Caprese salad

By ELIZABETH KARMEL

Associated PressThe Caprese salad of fresh

mozzarella, basil and tomatoesis universally loved.

I personally make it all sum-mer long and although I mix upthe tomatoes based on what Ican buy at the farmers’ market,it is virtually the same everytime.

Since it is tomato season andwe waited a long time for thismoment, I looked for a new takeon a summer favorite — andfound it in “Cravings,” modelChrissy Teigen’s cookbook thatshe co-wrote with Gourmet mag-azine alumna Adeena Sussman.

Teigen adds a few new ele-ments: She uses burrata —fresh mozzarella with a creamycenter — and cuts the tomatoes

in different shapes and sizes,some slices, some wedges. Sheomits the traditional basil andadds arugula and delicious,crunchy prosciutto chips whichtake this Caprese from ordinarygood to extraordinary great.

The prosciutto chips (she callsthem crisps) are easy to prepareand make such a difference thatI can’t believe that I neverthought of baking thin slices ofprosciutto into “chips.” You cansubstitute them in almost anyrecipe that calls for bacon. Oncethe prosciutto bakes and cools,it is crispy and crunchy, saltyand addictive.

Line a baking sheet with parch-ment paper.

Arrange the prosciutto in asingle layer on the baking sheet.Bake until wrinkled and slightlyshrunken, 11 to 13 minutes. (Itwill crisp as it cools.) Cool, eatwhole as a snack, or crumbleand use as a garnish for salads,eggs, or anything that could usecrispness and ham. (For me,that’s everything.)

Towels with a purposeDear Heloise: When I am

cooking, I put a DISH TOWEL onmy shoulder, or tuck it in myjeans. It’s much easier to rinseand wipe my hands than to keeplooking for the right towel (darkblue), which we use ONLY forwiping hands. Everyone knowsNOT to use this blue towel fordrying dishes. — Mike H.,Rosebud, Texas

Gunky microwaveDear Readers: Microwaves get

a real workout, and often don’t getcleaned well. Here is an easy andsafe way to do so: Use a largemicrowave-safe bowl; add 2-3

tablespoons of baking soda to 1cup of water. Add a dash of cinna-mon and microwave on high for 3-4 minutes. DON’T open the door!Let the water and the steam soft-en the gunk for about 15 minutesto cool and loosen the foodbuildup.

Wipe the inside with a cloth orpaper towel. Clean, withoutchemicals!

Of course, baking soda sprin-kled on a damp sponge is wonder-ful for spot-cleaning all aroundthe house: kitchen, bathroom andother counters. — Heloise

Rack ’em upDear Heloise: The mainte-

nance men at my apartment putan old oven out for bulky trashpickup. I grabbed the racks outof it.

I spray-painted them, hungthem on the wall and use toorganize my earrings, hair rib-bons, belts, scarves, hosiery, etc.— Liz T. in San Diego

New medicationDear Heloise: I was pre-

scribed a new medication. Thenurse went over how to take it,and gave me a sheet with theinstructions. They called it in tomy pharmacy. When I picked itup, the pharmacist asked if Iwanted to go over the instruc-tions. I said, “No thanks, I havethis sheet from my doctor.” Well,the directions were a little differ-ent. One said three times a day;the other, every eight hours. Itwas a little confusing to me. Am Isupposed to wake up to take it?The pharmacist explained it, andnow I’m not worried. — C.E. inSalt Lake City

Glove loveDear Heloise: I always keep

vinyl gloves in my vehicle. I usethem while pumping gas, andwhen washing or vacuuming mycar at the carwash. This reducesmy risk of getting unwantedgerms. — Pat F., via email

Polk unpacks leaving Wall Street

in memoir, ‘For the Love of Money’“For the Love of Money: a Memoir”

(Scribner), by Sam PolkWhile working at his dream job as a senior

trader on Wall Street, Sam Polk received abonus of several million dollars. He wasenraged: it wasn’t enough. “For the Love ofMoney” chronicles the story of his life leadingup to that fateful day.

Born into a working-class family with littleemotional stability, a desire for more — moresuccess, recognition — even more food —forms Sam’s early years. When his fatherdemands that Sam and his siblings share adessert and Sam receives one less bite thanthe others, fury ensues. Weeks later, hescrounges up the money to buy an entirecake, which he eats in solitude until vomit-ing. This scene repeats itself in varied formsthroughout Sam’s life, each event seeminglytethered to his longing for his father’sapproval and an unquenchable craving forwealth.

Fights, drugs and warped relationships lit-

ter his high school and college years until hefinally maneuvers his way onto the tradingfloor, where he finds a new playground tofuel and reward his obsessions.

Polk unpacks the multilayered hungerwithin him with straightforward storytellingand free-flowing admission of his flaws.While he eventually realizes that his need tobe the greatest stems from a sense of inade-quacy, thus emerging a different person fromthe first page to the last, readers may growweary of his dogmatic blaming of much ofhis faults and struggles on others.

The book dives deep into the origins ofSam’s compulsions as he struggles againstbulimia, rage, addiction and more. Ironically,these dysfunctional roots are what spur hiscurrent endeavors in the nonprofit realm,thus morphing his hardships into help forothers.

‘Woman in Cabin 10’ is high seas thriller“The Woman in Cabin 10”

(Scout Press), by Ruth WareThe Aurora, a boutique cruise

liner, is small with only 10 cabinsand luxurious with chandeliersand endless champagne.

Journalists, a photographer,investors and even a model com-prise the passenger list for themaiden voyage and among themwe meet Lo Blacklock, a traveljournalist with a withering lovelife and a vexing drinking prob-lem. And so begins “The Womanin Cabin 10,” Ruth Ware’s snap-py thriller set on the high seas.

After a lavish welcome dinner,Lo is awakened by a scream fromthe room next door and thesound of what she believes is a

body hitting the water. But the head of security inves-

tigates and shows Lo that theroom is empty. He suggests thatshe’s had too much to drink(which might be true) and dis-misses her claims. A

dding to the confusion: All ofthe passengers and staff areaccounted for. As the ship con-tinues its journey through theNorth Sea, Lo becomes desperateto solve the mystery.

But while she presses on touncover what happened, some-one is determined to stop her.

Ware shows that a classic plot-line — one character claimingfoul play while everyone elsedenies a victim ever existed —

still works. The cruise ship provides a

claustrophobic setting completewith secret hallways, stairwellsand passages, adding a delight-fully eerie nature to every scene.

Lo is a refreshingly texturedinvestigator with no secret detec-tive skills or props at her dispos-al other than journalism experi-ence.

To top it off, her drinking habitwill leave readers wonderingwhom they can trust.

The first chapter will grab yourattention, force it against a walland hold it there until the end.

‘Seinfeldia’ offers little new on landmark comedy“Seinfeldia”

(Simon & Schuster)by Jennifer Keishin Armstrong

Eighteen years ago, in one ofthe most anticipated moments inAmerican television history, fansof “Seinfeld” obsessed over theseries ending its nine-season runand struggled with saying good-bye to one of the most influential,hilarious and successful come-dies of all time.

In a sense, though, the farewellwasn’t entirely necessary.

The show has lived on in perpe-tuity, with reruns broadcast dailyin nearly every corner of the U.S.And, in fits and spurts, we’vebeen satiated with both exten-sions of the show and glimpsesinto the making of it.

Jerry Seinfeld resumed hisstand-up life, regularly givingaudiences a chance to ask ques-tions about the show, and started“Comedians in Cars GettingCoffee,” which has includedappearances by “Seinfeld” co-cre-ator Larry David and co-starsMichael Richards and JuliaLouis-Dreyfus. David gave birthto a series, “Curb Your

Enthusiasm,” made of pure“Seinfeld” DNA, and even built aseason around a reunion of theearlier show. Interviews, paneldiscussions and outtakes havebeen abundant, and easy to viewvia YouTube. And perhaps mostinsightful of all, the series went toDVD with all sorts of insight andcommentary etched into its discs.

Even though the show hasnever really gone away, we stillcrave more — more on the LowTalker and Bob Sacamano, oncoffee-table books and masteringyour domain and achieving“Serenity Now.” The proliferationof so much material likely compli-cates an author’s ability to addsomething new to the conversa-tion, though, and despite hernoble efforts in “Seinfeldia,”Jennifer Keishin Armstrong doeslittle to broaden perspective onthe show for its most ardent fans.

Though Armstrong spoke tonumerous writers and othersinvolved in “Seinfeld,” the newlight they shed is limited. Thebook did not include fresh conver-sations with the main charactersor David, relying instead on other

published comments and theaforementioned litany of easilyavailable sources. Without keyplayers, we’re brought discus-sions on the periphery: with thereal-life Kramer, the theme song’scomposer, the woman whose faceadorned a movie poster for the in-show movie “Rochelle, Rochelle.”Not that there’s anything wrongwith that. But it leaves you won-dering why we couldn’t come awaywith juicier morsels from more ofthe many hundreds involved inthe show. Couldn’t the authoreven track down more members ofthe fascinating parade of ancillarycharacters who might offer somenew stories?

It’s not that interesting threadsare completely missing from“Seinfeldia.” We learn of ascrapped episode in which Elaineweighed buying a handgun, ofRichards’ aloofness on the setand of a York Peppermint Pattiestanding in as the famed air-borne Junior Mint to make surethe camera could easily track it.

Find out why classic Swissfondue never went out of style

By KATIE WORKMANAssociated Press

Food as fashion has never madea lot of sense to me. Kale is out(no, not really), jackfruit is in, andso on.

But guess what? InSwitzerland, the birthplace of fon-due, this creamy cheese dishnever went out of style, and onceyou make up a pot for your crew,you will realize why the Swissnever ever considered letting it gothe way of the Jell-O mold.

Emmenthal cheese (or, inSwitzerland, Emmental) andGruyere are the two most classiccheeses used in authentic Swissfondue. Other traditional choicesare Comte, Rachlette and SwissVacherin, which melts beautifully.

If you want to add differentcheeses, do; you need cheeseswith flavor, and cheeses with asmooth, creamy melting texture —classically, cow’s milk cheesesmade in the Alpine style. Fontinaand Jarlsberg are good thoughtstoo, and very accessible. Talk toyour cheesemonger to see whatelse is an option.

Rubbing the pot with a garlicclove in this version adds a subtletouch of garlic; some recipes callfor actual minced garlic to beadded to the pot.

As for the kirsch, if you discuss“real” fondue with someone fromSwitzerland you will get a firmopinion on whether it should beincluded. Only a small amount ofthis cherry liqueur is used, so itdoesn’t seem to be a deal breaker,at least to this fondue neophyte.Some people like to keep thekirsch out of the fondue, but dipthe bread lightly into a small dishof it before dipping the bread intothe cheese.

Other seasonings that might beadded are dry mustard or nutmeg,but traditionalists would probablystab me with a fondue fork forsuggesting such things.

The classic item to dip intocheese fondue is bread cubes, butthere is no reason to stop there.Crackers, vegetables, even meatsor fruit — anything that goes wellwith cheese is fair game.

Additional tips: Don’t overheatthe cheese, and add it slowly.Melting cheese gradually over lowtemperature helps keep it smooth,not clumpy or stringy. If your fon-due gets clumpy, add either a bitmore wine or a couple of tea-spoons of fresh lemon juice.

If you don’t have a fondue pot,you can still make fondue and justserve it in the pot you cooked it in.Reheat it, stirring, as needed. Orjust eat fast!

Dunkin’s improving its egg patty: less water, more yolkNEW YORK (AP) — Dunkin’

Donuts is adding more of a specialingredient to improve the taste ofits egg patty: eggs.

The company says it has beentesting a patty with a higher con-centration of eggs, and less waterand other ingredients.

On its website, Dunkin’s break-fast sandwiches appear to containwhat looks like a single cookedegg. But the “fried egg” listed forthe sandwiches is actually a com-posite that mixes together ingredi-ents including egg whites, water,egg yolks and modified cornstarch.

Dunkin’ Donuts, which is try-

ing to step up the quality of arange of food items, said it hasbeen testing the new egg formulafor several months and that thenew version should start rollingout nationally in mid-August.

The new egg patty will have 100calories, 8 grams of fat and 6grams of protein. That’s comparedwith 45 calories, 2 grams of fatand 5 grams of protein for thecurrent egg, according to Dunkin’.The new patty will still be shapedto look like a single fried egg.

“The yolk is much fuller, it looksmuch more yellow,” said Dunkin’Brands CEO Nigel Travis in aphone interview Thursday.

Other foods Dunkin’ plans totweak include its bacon andbagels. The changes come afterthe company conducted researchto determine how stepped-up foodquality might go over with cus-tomers.

“One of the key findings in ourconsumer research indicates thatgreat tasting, authentic productsmatter more than ever, especiallyto younger consumers,” Travistold analysts during a conferencecall following the company’srelease of its second quarterresults.

Dunkin’ Brands Group Inc.isn’t the only major chain scram-

bling to step up the quality of itsfood as it faces more competitionfrom smaller players. McDonald’sCorp. has also been reviewing theingredients it uses and tweakingits cooking methods in the U.S.And several chains includingSubway, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut andPanera have promised to simplifytheir recipes and phase out artifi-cial ingredients.

For its second quarter, Dunkin’said sales rose a meager 0.5 per-cent at established locations. Thecompany, which has more than8,500 U.S. locations, said higherprices offset a decline in customervisits.

Brazil’s national cocktail poised for Olympic exposureCORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) —

It’s tempting to call cachaca aBrazilian rum and think of thecaipirinha as another muddledtropical cocktail.

The upcoming Olympics inRio de Janeiro may change that.Brazil’s national cocktail andunique distillation of sugarcanejuice into a clear liquor arepoised for the kind of worldwideexposure enjoyed by tequilaafter the 1968 Olympics inMexico City and Australianwines after the 2000 SummerGames in Sydney.

“We Americans love to con-sume the Olympics and ‘travel’there without going there bydrinking and eating and cele-brating the culture of whateverthe host country is, so I think alot of people are going to bewatching the Olympic Gameswith a caipirinha in theirhands,” Leblon CachacaPresident and CEO SteveLuttman said in a recent inter-view.

Cachaca (pronounced ka-SHAH-sah) and rum share ori-gins in sugarcane but they areprocessed differently.

Cachaca, by definition, mustbe produced in Brazil with freshsugarcane juice and containalcohol by volume of 38 to 48percent. Rum can be made any-where, and it’s usually madefrom molasses and distilled athigher percentages of alcohol byvolume.

The U.S. formally recognizedcachaca as a distinct product ofBrazil in 2013 after the twocountries signed a trade agree-ment (in exchange, Brazil recog-nized bourbon and Tennesseewhiskey as distinctive U.S.products).

The market for cachaca hassteadily grown over the lastdecade, alongside the liquorindustry’s targeting of U.S. con-sumers’ growing appreciationfor premium rums. In April, 10cachaca producers seeking U.S.distribution occupied a signifi-cant amount of trade expo spaceat the Miami Rum RenaissanceFestival.

When Leblon launched in2005, U.S. cachaca sales totaledjust a few thousand cases soldmainly in Brazilian restaurants.Now owned by Bermuda-basedindustry giant Bacardi,

Leblon boasts annual sales of50,000 9-liter cases, Luttmansaid.

“We found that when anybodyconsumed cachaca with theexpectation of a rum, it tastesvery different,” said Luttman,who led a “Legalize Cachaca”campaign to have the liquor rec-ognized independently fromrum.

While the caipirinha’s sweet,tropical flavors may resemble amojito, it’s closer in spirit to amargarita, according toLuttman.

“I would say that cachaca ismore similar to tequila than

rum,” he said. “It’s more similarto making tequila than it is tomaking a rum, in the contextthat they both use fresh juicesfrom the raw material, from thefruit.”

As the caipirinha has gainedpopularity in many bars, partic-ularly those that hosted viewingparties for Brazil’s World Cuptwo years ago, some bartendersnow mix variations of the cock-tail with vodka or sake and addstrawberries, oranges or otherfruits.

A true caipirinha — cachacamixed with limes and ice —seems light but requires preci-sion when mixing, said RafaellaDemelo, a Brazilian native andbartender at Bulla Gastrobar, aSpanish bar and restaurant inCoral Gables, Florida.

“It’s a very simple drink but

it’s very hard to get it right. Notonly do you have to know theamount of liquor to put in it butalso the amount of limes to putin it, and the sugar as well,” shesaid while mixing a caipirinhaduring a recent interview.

Aside from proper amounts ofcachaca and white sugar, half alime should be cut into cubes,“because a caipirinha is notonly about the juice of thelimes, but also about the bit-ters, the skin of the limes,”Demelo said.

Shake the ingredients with iceand pour into a glass withoutstraining.

“It has to be everything youused to make a caipirinhastraight to the glass, otherwiseyou’re not going to have thelime, you’re not going to havethe smell,” Demelo said.

CINCINNATI (AP) — Big Boywithout his Big Boy double-deck-er; menu additions; a revamped,brighter restaurant with a kids’zone, and experimentation with“brupper” are among changesunderway at Frisch’s RestaurantsInc. as its new leadership tries tocompetitively beef up the regionalchain.

Atlanta-based NRD Capital’s$175 million acquisition lastAugust ended family operation ofthe Cincinnati-based regionalbusiness dating to a 1939 drive-thru that later acquired trade-mark rights in Ohio and nearbystates for Big Boy, originated inCalifornia.

The private equity firm namedindustry veteran Jason Vaughnthe new CEO in April and hasslowly — and cautiously — beenmaking changes.

The chain recently unveiled BigBoy’s new look — no longer hoist-ing his signature sandwich andhis formerly chubby cheeksnoticeably tighter.

“He’s a little thinned down, buthe’s still a big boy,” Vaughn said,chuckling.

In an AP interview, Vaughn andAnne Mejia, the new executive vicepresident of marketing, explainedthat Big Boy’s different look ismeant to signal other changes areunderway in the chain, which had

been profitable but faced increas-ing casual-dining competition.

“The evolving of the Big Boyhimself is a part of the broaderpicture,” Vaughn said. “We’reevolving Big Boy, we’re evolvingour venue; how it looks and thefood offerings, and we’re justevolving the brand.”

The Frisch’s in Covington,Kentucky, near the Ohio River hasbrighter colors and lighting,updated employee attire and din-nerware, and homey touches suchas local artwork and clocks show-ing the time in nearby towns.

The new-look prototype rolledout there June 29 includes imagesaround the restaurant of the new-look Big Boy, a “community table”to encourage convivial dining, andthe kids’ area where children cancolor and hang up their results.

“The changes we’ve been talk-ing about haven’t been made in asilo,” Vaughn said. “We have a lotof consumer research and we’relistening to our guests.”

He also said the “classic BigBoy” figure will remain visible atrestaurants in the form of thestatues out front.

That’s good news to customerMcDonald, 71, who said she hasamassed Big Boy figurines,banks and other collectables overthe years.

“I’d miss him,” she said.

If you saw my strawberry bed,you might think I don’t likestrawberries. The leaves havebeen lopped off, some plantswere ripped out of the ground,and those that remain are par-tially buried in dirt.

It’s not a pretty sight.But I do like strawberries, and

what I’ve done to this bed is actu-ally good for the plants. I carryout this renovation, as it iscalled, every year not long aftergathering the last berries for theseason.

The short rest that June-bear-ing strawberry plants naturallytake after their harvest seasonhelps them tolerate the morebrutal aspects of renovation.(Renovation is not for everbear-ing strawberry varieties, whichbear again in late summer intofall, or day-neutral varieties,which offer berries pretty muchall season long.)

Off With Their LeavesOver time, leaf diseases from

wild strawberries and relatedplants can sneak into and buildup in a cultivated strawberrybed. The first step in renovation,cutting off all the plants’ leaves,helps keep such problems incheck. No leaves, no leaf diseases— at least until the leaves growback, but then at least any newinfections must originate fromoutside the bed.

I cut the leaves with a scythe— a super-sharp “European-style” scythe — and follow up

with a grass shears. The shearsalone work well, especially forsmaller beds. A mower workswell for larger beds as long as it’sset high enough so the crowns ofthe plants, which are the short-ened stems from which theleaves arise, are not injured.

Healthy, new leaves begin tosprout soon after renovation.

Away With Excess RunnersStrawberry plants strew them-

selves about by means of run-ners, which are horizontal stemsthat develop daughter plants.Those take root at intervals alongtheir lengths. (The word “straw-berry” may have originated from“strewberry.”) Over time, anuntended bed becomes so crowd-ed with mother, daughter, grand-

daughter, etc. plants that theyshade each other and productionsuffers. Diseases also fester inthose dank conditions.

So after clipping off the leaves,I went through my strawberrybed and thinned out enoughplants so that those remainingstood about 8 inches apart. Iselectively removed the oldestplants, which become more sus-ceptible to winter cold and lessproductive.

I leave well-positioned youngerplants that are in a row and farenough apart.

MulchThat “dirt” under which I said

my plants are partially buried isnot, incidentally, dirt. It’s com-post, which I laid a half inch or

so deep over the whole bed,except right over the plants. Thiscompost dressing suppressesweeds, feeds the plants, andkeeps the strawberry crowns,which rise slightly in the soil withage, protected from the elements.

The “icing” on the cake is amulch of pine needles on top ofthe compost. Equally suitablewould be a mulch of wood shav-ings, straw or any other weed-free, organic material. (The tradi-tional straw mulch for strawber-ries is another hypothesized ori-gin of the word “strawberry.”)

I apply this mulch at myleisure, sometime after renova-tion and before late autumn.

In a few weeks, my strawberrybed will again look vibrant, like afruit that I do like.

NEW YORK (AP) — Less thantwo years after joining Oscar dela Renta and following in thefootsteps of its late, legendaryfounding designer, PeterCopping is leaving his post ascreative director to return toEurope.

Copping said he was leavingthe luxury label for personalreasons. The development wasjust the latest in a turbulentyear for top fashion houses, withturnover at Yves Saint Laurent,Dior, Balenciaga and CalvinKlein, among others.

“I have loved my time in NewYork where I hope to return atsome point in the future,”Copping said in a statementreleased by the companyWednesday evening.

Copping, who is British,joined the company in October2014, having previously servedas creative director at Nina Ricciin Paris. He was hoping to workalongside de la Renta himself.But it was not to be: Just days

after Copping was hired, thefamous designer died of cancer.

Copping presented his debutNew York Fashion Week collec-tion in February of 2015.

This past February, several

collections later, he spoke of adelicate balance between keep-ing de la Renta’s legacy alive andalso bringing fresh ideas to thelabel.

“I’m very respectful of the

legacy of the house but you haveto challenge it as well, it can’tjust stand still,” Copping toldThe Associated Press backstageat Fashion Week. “You need tomove forward. But it’s veryimportant to do it gradually,step by step.”

Longtime devotees were sur-prised, at that show, to see aleather dress in a shade of rasp-berry — something new for theclassic label.

“It was something new to putinto an Oscar de la Renta show,”Copping said. “I think the sil-houettes felt very Oscar in someways, fitted through the waistand then going into a bell skirt.But the material took it some-where else.”

In an example of his efforts tomix old and new, Copping saidhe was looking at old 18th-cen-tury fabrics like tapestries toinspire his patterns, but wasalso inspired by contemporaryartist Jeff Koons and his famousballoon animals.

LEBANON, Conn. (AP) — Themile-long town green here seemslittle changed from the dayswhen French troops camped onit during the Revolutionary War.

It is hayed each year by farm-ers and, in the winter, the townturns part of it into an ice skat-ing rink.

The green is a center of com-munity life for Lebanon, but thetown doesn’t actually own it,according to records thatinclude a court document datingto 1705.

Instead, it belongs to the“heirs and assigns” of 51 origi-nal proprietors, the 17th andearly 18th-century investors inthe property.

That’s probably about 10,000people, said town historianAlicia Wayland.

Similar arrangements havekept away the kind of develop-ment that has swallowed uptown greens around NewEngland, but in Lebanon thedeed is creating an issue for offi-cials hoping to expand the townlibrary.

“When people say to the town,‘Gee, look at all that space, wecould really use another tenniscourt or something,’ they’vebeen able to just say, ‘But wedon’t own the land,’” the 83-year-old Wayland said.

“Nobody has ever tried to getthose people together to turnover a deed to the town. Now, ofcourse it would be impossible tofind those people.”

Numerous historical build-ings, now tourist attractions,line the green. They include thehomes of patriots JonathanTrumbull and William Williams,a signer of the Declaration ofIndependence, as well asConnecticut’s RevolutionaryWar office, which was visited by

George Washington, the Marquisde Lafayette and others.

The 7,400-square-footJonathan Trumbull Library,built in 1967, has a $5.8 millionexpansion plan that wouldalmost double its size.

Library director Julie Culpsays the plan would impactabout 1 percent of the green.

The library’s board hassecured a $1 millionConnecticut State Library con-struction grant as well as a $1million private grant.

But those are contingent onthe town showing ownership ofthe property, and Culp saysthat’s impossible to do.

She said town officials havebeen meeting to decide whetherit is worth hiring a lawyer toexplore legal options, but haveso far made no decisions.

Culp said many are worriedabout opening a legal can ofworms over questions such as,“Why does the town have liabili-ty insurance on a piece of land itdoesn’t own?”

Or, “Why doesn’t anyone,including the town or the farm-ers who grow hay on the landpay any property taxes?”

The town’s first selectman didnot return repeated phone callsseeking comment.

Wayland said some havebrought up the possibility oftaking the land by eminentdomain, but that has provenunpopular.

“Do you want to start anotherRevolution? Nobody wants to doeminent domain in a town likethis,” Wayland said. “You haveto have a meeting of the mindsof all the people who live here,especially those who still have alegal claim, even if that amountsto a claim for maybe one bladeof grass.”

Trolls take over Comic-Con, but not the internet kindSAN DIEGO (AP) — Trolls

turned out in full force to kick offthe first day of programming atComic-Con — the ones with thewacky hair, not the ones that hurlinsults on the internet.

Audience members in brightlycolored wigs watched Thursday asDreamWorks Animation debuted16 minutes of footage from“Trolls,” an animated feature com-ing to theaters Nov. 4. It’s basedon the toy with tall, neon hair.

Co-directors Mike Mitchell andWalt Dohrn said they were excitedby the prospect of creating some-thing with no pre-existing mythol-

ogyIn this world, trolls are tiny

packages of positivity, who hugevery hour. Anna Kendrick andJustin Timberlake voice a pair ofmismatched trolls who have torescue their friends from troll-eat-ing giants.

Timberlake served as executiveproducer on the soundtrack,which includes remixes of classicslike Simon & Garfunkel’s “TheSound of Silence” and four origi-nals such as “Can’t Stop theMusic.”

Part of the footage showsKendrick’s character, Poppy, who

is bright fuchsia pink from hair totoe, tormenting Timberlake’skilljoy troll Branch with hersinging. Branch gets his ownmusical moment too, eventually.

Producer Gina Shay said thefilm is informed by 1970s aesthet-ics — the troll’s are the happy,bright, lava-lamp side of things,and the evil giants, calledBergens, are brutalist and poly-ester. “The whole production has acrocheted blanket vibe,” Shaysaid.

They also made sure to break“every princess rule in the book”by letting the female trolls be

stumpy, short, and shoeless, hesaid.

Hall H audiences also got asneak peek at “Boss Baby,” ananimated film about a deviousbaby with a grown up demeanorand voice. Alec Baldwin, who voic-es the baby, surprised the crowdwith an appearance.

Director Tom McGrath saidpart of the process of getting astudio yes was showing an anima-tion test with the baby sayinglines from “Glengarry Glen Ross.”Baldwin laughed that he hopesthat expletive-ridden test is nevermade available.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) —My grandmother can do more push-ups than you. No one wants to seejiggly cellulite hanging out of a biki-ni. You need to make up for all thosecookies you ate last night.

While those kinds of drill ser-geant-style putdowns and body-shaming warnings have long been apart of many fitness classes acrossthe country, some instructors andresearchers are promoting a changeof message aimed at empoweringclients, relieving stress and fuelingstudents with confidence.

“Body shaming and focusing onappearance and comparing yourselfto other people, we absolutely knowthat’s harmful for women,” saidRenee Engeln, a NorthwesternUniversity psychology professor whohas been studying messaging in fit-ness classes.

“The more you’re exercising tolook good or to lose weight, the lessyou tend to enjoy it, the less youtend to stick with it. Whereas womenwho exercise because of how itmakes them feel — healthier,stronger, less stressed — they tendto get more out of exercise and theytend to stick with it longer.”

She recently surveyed hundredsof women who worked out in varioustypes of classes and asked them tolist their least favorite motivatingcomments. Around half said theyhated comments that focused onappearance. Topping the list ofloathed comments were those urgingwomen to get a bikini body, look likea celebrity or endure punishment toatone for yesterday’s dessert.

“You still go into most group fit-ness classes and the lowest commondenominator conversation is like‘bikini body ladies, July Fourth isaround the corner, what did you eatlast night?’” said Natalia MehlmanPetrzela, a New York fitness instruc-tor and assistant professor of historyat The New School who has beenstudying feminism and group fit-ness.

Sadie Kurzban, owner of New

York’s 305 Fitness, a hip-hop danceworkout with a live DJ, says suchmessages from instructors are ulti-mately counterproductive for clients,some of whom already have bodyinsecurities.

“When a fitness instructor shoutssomething to us at a class it’s veryemotionally charged,” Kurzban said.

“As instructors we have this deeppower to either build people up,empower them, give them a messagethat’s really about their choice, theirbodies, their lives or about shamingor putting them down.”

But it’s a difficult shift for instruc-tors to make, particularly becausethe lingo is so ingrained not just inthe fitness world, but with the rise ofsocial media where body photos arerelentlessly dissected.

The instructors in theNorthwestern study denied makingthese types of comments “but the

women we surveyed were like, ‘no,we hear it a lot.’ So there’s a real dis-connect there,” Engeln said.

Elaine Lewinnek said she eventu-ally stopped going to a barre studionear her home in Encinitas,California because she was sick ofall the talk about getting a bikinibody. While the 42-year-old motherof two and professor at CaliforniaState University says she exercisesin part for vanity, she says it’s main-ly about taking a moment for herherself and being inspired by others,like the “the 80-year-old doing aheadstand in yoga class.”

“I don’t work out to try to look likea Barbie doll. I work out to feelstrong and healthy,” said Lewinnek.

New York trainer Kira Stokes saysa full workout goes beyond the phys-ical. Clients are also looking for emo-tional support.

“A lot of it is reading the people in

the room and saying that woman’sshoulders are rounded forward, shewon’t look at herself in the mirror.The last thing she needs to hear isfor someone to say, ‘What kind ofposture is that, get your shouldersback’ .... You’re there to make peoplefeel really good and that doesn’tinclude tearing people down whileyou’re trying to build them up,”Stokes said.

Petrzela created Link Together,Lead Together to unite fitnessinstructors to better use their plat-forms to help women. The group hashad three events in New York andLos Angeles in the past year, withmore than 100 instructors attending.

The idea, she says, is to “raise ourawareness about the words we areusing in our studios and ... see our-selves as vanguards of a new conver-sation rather just amplifying the oldone which is pretty disempowering.”

NEW YORK (AP) — Maybe youdon’t really need a fitness tracker.

It might be tempting to get one,now that the weather’s nice andyou’re spending more time out-doors. A Fitbit or an Apple Watch,for instance, could prove useful ifyou’re new to exercise or looking toincrease physical activity. Theynudge you to keep moving through-out the day and track workouts likerunning and cycling. Many devicesalso measure heart rate and sleep.

But if you’re a procrastinator orhave trouble staying motivated, atracker can easily end up in a draw-er. If you’re already athletic or fairlystable in your routine, it might justtell you the same thing over andover again, which won’t help much.

I speak from experience, havingworn as many as seven trackerssimultaneously to test them out. Soknow what you’re getting — andwhat they don’t do — before youspend as much as a few hundreddollars on one.

COUNTING STEPS

Fitness trackers typically usearm swings to gauge how far you’vewalked or run and push you toreach, say, 10,000 steps a day.Many also track floors climbed andcalories burned.

They can keep you on track ifyou’re new to physical activity — ifyou’re the type to go for a walk at 11p.m. just to meet that daily goal.But a tracker won’t do much if youkeep telling yourself, “tomorrow.”

Once you hit that goal consistent-ly, you might be inclined to leaveyour tracker in a drawer . But ifyou’re competitive, Fitbit and othercompanion phone apps will let youenlist peer pressure by joininggroups that track, challenge andtaunt each other to meet andexceed those arbitrary goals. Somedevices, like the Apple Watch, willalso step up your goals as youimprove.

Of course, this count isn’t per-

fect. Trackers might giveyou bonus steps fordoing the dishes oreven, um, punchingsomeone, as they’remeasuring arm move-ments. A bike ride alsowon’t reward you withsteps, though somedevices will credit youwith calories burned.

HEART BEATS

Mid-range and high-er-end trackers offerheart-rate monitoring,but these aren’t medicaldevices approved by theU.S. Food and DrugAdministration.

Measurements canvary wildly at times —one I tried brieflyrecorded a deadly 243beats per minute, andanother a sub-normal43 — but most readings are closeenough to give you a general senseof your workout intensity. A higherheart rate means your workout istougher — though heavy breathingand fatigue will also tell you that.

—-

FOR WORKOUTS

These devices are awful at trans-lating steps to miles, and very fewlet you calibrate your tracker bychecking it against a known dis-tance. GPS in higher-end trackershelp, but that drains the batterymore quickly, so many long-dis-tance runners might see theirtrackers die before they’re finished.

Most GPS fitness trackers alsoaren’t as versatile as a GPS devicefine-tuned for running, cycling,golfing or whatever your sport is.And while trackers are typicallywater resistant, few work for swim-ming.

A tracker lacking sports-specificfeatures can still be useful. Youmight run three miles with a GPSrunning watch and use the tracker

to make sure you’re not sitting therest of the day.

—-

HOW’S YOUR SLEEP?

Most trackers also monitor sleep,though Apple and Android smart-watches require third-party apps. Ifyou toss and turn a lot, the trackerwill mark you as a light sleeper. Ifyou get up to use the bathroom, thetracker will note that, too.

But is it useful? While a trackermight deem you a light sleeper, itcan’t guide you to better sleep. All itcan do is recommend more sleep.

—-

DO YOU HAVE A DESK JOB?

Even if you meet step goals, pro-longed sitting can be unhealthy,too. Many devices now havereminders to get up and walkaround, though they’re useless ifyou keep ignoring the prompts.Sometimes they even nag you whileyou’re in bed — which is especiallyirritating if your tracker is also onyour case about getting more sleep.

YOUR PHONE

Many key features are alreadyavailable on phones. The iPhonehas Health built-in for countingsteps, while you can get Google Fitfor Android. You can also downloadMoves for either system. Beyondsteps, GPS apps such as Strava willtrack running and cycling work-outs.

A tracker could still be a worth-while investment for some people.The phone won’t record sleep orremind you to take breaks, nor willit record steps when your phonesits on a desk. Microsoft’s Band 2adds a UV sensor to warn you whenyou need sunscreen, while theSamsung’s Gear Fit2 can tracksquats and other strength training.

The key is whether you’ll use it. Ifyou can’t even motivate yourselfwith a phone, a tracker is just awaste of money.

PARIS (AP) — After family members of thedriver who slammed a truck into a holidaycrowd in the French city of Nice said he suf-fered from depression, questions have beenraised again about the links between mental ill-ness, extreme ideology and mass violence.

Mental illness cannot be blamed for terrorattacks, experts say. The overwhelming majori-ty of people with mental illness never turn vio-lent. But mental health disorders may makesome people more susceptible to extremist ide-ology, and in rare cases that ideology can leadto horrific acts.

“People who are loners and who becomeangry and resentful can easily be drawn toextremist ideologies,” said Dr. Raj Persaud, apsychiatrist and professor at London’sGresham College. “They begin to dehumanizeothers and may not need much more motiva-tion before deciding to commit a terroristattack.”

It is not known for sure that the Nice attack-er, 31-year-old Mohamed Lahouaiyej Bouhlel,was mentally ill. It is also unclear whether hewas acting out of personal impulse or was driv-en by ideology. But the Nice attack and otherrecent ones, like the attack at a nightclub inOrlando, have involved a murky mix of extremeideology and hints of mental illness.

“Terrorist acts are not caused by mental ill-ness but mental illness can provide a back-ground that’s receptive to terrorist activity,”said Persaud.

Relatives of Bouhlel say he was once pre-scribed anti-psychotic medication. Theydescribe an angry young man estranged fromhis wife and withdrawn from society. Bouhlel’suncle in Tunisia, Sadok Bouhlel, told TheAssociated Press that his nephew’s family prob-lems made him vulnerable to an Algerianrecruiter for the Islamic State group who con-verted him in just two weeks.

Still, there are angry men estranged fromtheir wives and withdrawn from society aroundthe world who will never feel the impulse toslaughter a crowd of innocent people.

Paul Gill, a senior lecturer in security andcrime science at University College London,says mass attacks are often triggered by a con-stellation of problems and do not depend on amental health disorder.

“Just because you have psychological issues,it doesn’t mean you will turn to violence,” hesaid.

He said there’s a higher rate of mental healthissues among “lone wolf attackers” as opposedto people involved in a terrorist network,according to his study of more than 100 suchassailants. Among those in his research werethe 2005 London suicide bombers and AndersBreivik, the right-wing Norwegian who killed 77people in a shooting-and-bombing rampage.

Other experts said the decision of someattackers to align themselves with an extremistideology can be driven more by opportunismthan beliefs.

“The driver in Nice is better thought of as aspree killer than a terrorist,” said David Canter,director of the International Research Centrefor Investigative Psychology at HuddersfieldUniversity in Britain.

“For these killers, like the German pilot whodrove his plane into the Alps or the Columbineschoolboys, their acts are really despairing sui-cides,” he said in an email. “Mentally ill killerswill hook onto whatever is in the wind at thetime they want to express their anger and frus-tration.”

The potential link between mental healthproblems and terror attacks has also beenraised as a possible motive for UnabomberTheodore Kaczynski, who was diagnosed withparanoid schizophrenia. And after OmarMateen killed 49 people at an gay nightclub inOrlando, he was described by his ex-wife as“mentally unstable and mentally ill,” accordingto press reports.

Still, the vast amount of research on peoplewith mental health problems and violence sug-gest that they are much more likely to pose adanger to themselves than to others.

“It would be stigmatizing to say that weshould focus on people with mental healthproblems as vulnerable and potential risks forradicalization,” said Ariane Bazan, a professorof clinical psychology at the Universite Libre inBrussels. “There are so many other things tolook at.”

As the investigation into the Nice attack con-tinues, French prosecutor Francois Molins saidMonday that searches of Bouhlel’s computershowed he had a clear, recent interest in “radi-cal jihadism” and that he had recently conduct-ed internet searches for Islamic propagandachants, the Orlando nightclub attack, and thekillings of police officers in Dallas and inMagnanville, France.

Persaud said Bouhlel’s quick adoption ofextremist beliefs was likely the result of a longtransformation into a troubled, disenfranchisedand resentful individual that may have beenworsened by pre-existing mental health prob-lems.

“No personality disorder will cause somebodyto turn into a terrorist,” he said. “But theseextremist ideologies can suddenly begin tomake sense to someone who is deeply dis-turbed and (may) rationalize all of their anger.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — InMozambique’s woodlands, thesound of sweet evolution is atwork.

Over the centuries, throughgenetic and cultural adaptation,humans and a wild bird specieshave learned to work togetherwith a simple sound: “Brrr-hm.”When human honey-huntersmake that call, the bird calledthe honeyguide does its name-sake job with incredible accura-cy, leading people to hidden bees’nests.

Scientists put this ancientpractice to the test and it passedwith high flying colors. Whenbiologists compared the “brrr-hm” sound to other sounds, thetraditional sound sent the hon-eyguides to hidden bees nestthree times more often than thecontrol sounds, according to astudy in the journal ScienceThursday. When you make theright noise, you end up withhoney 54 percent of the time,compared to 16 percent of thetime with the wrong noise.

“It’s an exchange of informa-tion for skills,” said study leadauthor Claire Spottiswoode, anevolutionary biologist at theUniversity of Cambridge. It hap-pened to her personally. Shefailed to find bees nests until hercompanion made the right noiseand was rewarded with a honeythat’s “very rich, very flavorful. Itcatches at the back of thethroat.”

The honeyguide has a uniqueability to find bees’ nests.Scientists aren’t quite sure how itworks, but it likely has to do withan advanced sense of smell,Spottiswoode said. Still, there’s aproblem: These nests are stuckin trees that are difficult for thebirds to reach. Even worse, thebees sting the birds, sometime to

death.The people of the region, who

make a living on the honey, haveaxes and other tools that can getat those nests and they usesmoke to chase the bees away,reducing the stinging problem.But the people, called the Yao,can’t easily find the hidden bees.

But over the centuries thehoneyguide and the Yao peoplehave developed the call. Whenhoneyguides hear the call theyalso make a noisy response andthen fly from tree to tree, leadingthe honey hunters to the bees.The humans open up the tree,smoke out the bees and take thehoney. The birds eat the wax,Spottiswoode said.

While humans train dogs andother animals to hunt, this is dif-ferent because those animals aredomesticated and these are wildbirds, not trained specifically byhumans, Spottiswoode and otherscientists said.

Richard Wrangham, a HarvardUniversity evolutionary biologistwho wasn’t part of the study,said this is the most advancedbird-mammal relationship in theworld.

It’s clear that the birds haveadapted in an evolutionarily waythrough natural selection, but forpeople the arrangement is proba-bly more cultural, Spottiswoodesaid.

In Tanzania, humans use adifferent sound successfully withhoneyguides, said Spottiswoodeand Yale’s Brian Wood.

Despite their sweet name andhelpfulness to humans, the hon-eyguides aren’t so benevolent.The honeyguides are ruthlessparasites , depositing their eggsin other species’ nests and then,when the baby honeyguidehatches, it kills its foster siblingswith a beak that has a hook at

the end.—-

Scientists looking for invisible dark matter can’t find any

WASHINGTON (AP) —Scientists have come up empty-handed in their latest effort tofind elusive dark matter, theplentiful stuff that helps galaxieslike ours form.

For three years, scientists havebeen looking for dark matter —which though invisible, makesup more than four-fifths of theuniverse’s matter — nearly a mileunderground in a former goldmine in Lead, South Dakota. Buton Thursday they announced ata conference in England thatthey didn’t find what they weresearching for, despite sensitiveequipment that exceeded techno-logical goals in a project that cost$10 million to build.

“We’re sort of proud that itworked so well and also disap-pointed that we didn’t see any-thing,” said University ofCalifornia, Berkeley physicistDaniel McKinsey, one of two sci-entific spokesmen for the mostlygovernment-funded project.

The mine project, called LargeUnderground Xenon experimentor LUX, was one of three placeslooking for dark matter. Anotheris on the International SpaceStation and a third is an effort tocreate dark matter at the LargeHadron Collider, run by theEuropean consortium that foundthe Higgs Boson particle.

At the South Dakota site, morethan 4,800 feet of earth helpedscreen out background radiation.Scientists used a large vat of liq-uid xenon that they hoped would

produce a flash of light whenweakly interacting massive parti-cles, or WIMPS, bounced off thesuper-cooled liquid.

Not finding WIMPS may drivephysicists to think about newcandidates for dark matter, eventhough WIMPS are still the mostviable option, said Neal Weiner,director of the Center forCosmology and Particle Physicsat New York University, who wasnot part of the research.

Scientists are already startingto revamp the South Dakotamine site for a $50 million larger,higher-tech version of LUX,called LZ, that will be 70 timesmore sensitive and should startoperations in 2020, said BrownUniversity’s Richard Gaitskell,another scientific spokesman forLUX.

Even that won’t be easy. Darkmatter is everywhere. Hundredsof millions of dark matter parti-cles pass through Earth everysecond, Gaitskell said. But theproblem is they are “just crazyweak” and they zip throughEarth as if it barely exists, hesaid.

Gaitskell has spent 28 yearshunting these particles.

“Over 80 percent of our matteris in this dark matter form. Youand I are the flotsam and jetsam;dark matter is the sea,” Gaitskellsaid. “That’s why one doesn’t giveup. We’ve got to figure out whatthis dark matter component is.”

When pressed, Gaitskellacknowledged the possibility,

however slight and unlikely, thatscientists are looking for some-thing that isn’t there.

“It’s certainly there. We knowdark matter exists” because ofthe way it helps form galaxiesand makes light bend aroundgalaxy clusters, McKinsey said.

Weiner said, “It’s hard to knowwhen we will find dark matterbecause we don’t know preciselywhat it is. Of course, that’s whatmakes the search for it such abig deal.”

Macy’s tests mobile artificial intelligence to improve service

NEW YORK (AP) — Macy’s istesting a mobile tool using artifi-cial intelligence that lets shoppersget answers customized to thestore they’re in — like where aparticular brand is located orwhat’s in stock — that they wouldnormally ask a sales associateface-to-face.

The tool, which the nation’slargest department store chaincalls a “mobile companion,” canbe accessed for now through abrowser and will accept questionsin 10 U.S. locations about prod-ucts, services and facilities. Ituses natural language and offersfeedback in seconds.

It’s developed by IBM Watson —the Jeopardy-winning “cognitivecomputing” service and isdesigned to keep learning moreabout the store’s customers.That’s a key element as Macy’sseeks to spur sluggish sales,make being at the store moreenjoyable and distinguish itselffrom online portals and specialtyretailers.

“We want to improve the shop-ping experience. We want the cus-tomers to shop at Macy’s andcome back,” Serena Potter, Macy’sgroup vice president of digitalmedia strategy told TheAssociated Press. The goal: Boostsales while freeing up employeesto focus on more complicated cus-tomer requests.

Potter said Macy’s worked withsales associates to compile themost common inquires per store.Macy’s then fed the system ques-

tions and information so it canrecognize what’s being asked andwhat the answer is. Since the pilotwas quietly launched last month,the number of queries balloonedto the low thousands per store.

Five Macy’s locations — inBethesda, Maryland; Woodbridge,New Jersey; Portland, Oregon;Arcadia, California; and Miami,Florida — are focusing on the self-serve initiative. Five others —Short Hills, New Jersey; Buford,Georgia; Atlanta, Georgia; NorthMiami, Florida; and Garden City,New York — will have a featurethat lets customers summon asales associate. The two Miamilocations will have it available inSpanish as well. Customers canclick on macys.com/storehelp ontheir mobile device, but Pottersaid the company is working onan app. She declined to say whenthe tool might be rolled outnationwide.

The mobile tool has significantpotential to help Macy’s developdeeper relationships with cus-tomers by eventually offeringshoppers help in styling outfitsand other services. IBM Watson’svice president Stephen Gold saysthe technology, once trained, canpick up if customers are frustrat-ed based on their answers andcan alert a sales associate. Thetechnology is similar to artificialintelligence the company is work-ing on with brands such as 1-800Flowers and North Face, but inthose cases, it answers questionson their websites.

School vaccinations are not just for young studentsSpecial to the Banner

Another school year will soon begin formany students in Tennessee, and now is thetime to make sure they receive the requiredimmunizations for school attendance.

“Vaccines are critical protection for ourown children and help keep other kidsaround them safe from many diseases,’’ saidTDH Commissioner Dr. John Dreyzehner.“The measles outbreak we just emergedfrom in Memphis should serve as a vividwake-up call and remind us how lucky weare to have vaccines that protect us. Pleasemake sure you and yours have the vaccinesyou need.”

In Tennessee, children enrolling in schoolfor the first time and all children going intoseventh grade must provide schools with astate immunization certificate before classesstart as proof they have had all the immu-nizations necessary to protect them andtheir classmates from serious vaccine-pre-ventable diseases.

“Immunizations will keep children fromgetting sick and spreading infections to

other students, so it’s very important thateach child receives the required and recom-mended vaccinations now for a healthy startto the school year,’’ said Dr. Kelly Moore,director of the Tennessee ImmunizationProgram.

Requirements for school vaccinations inTennessee:

— Kindergarteners and other childrenenrolling in a Tennessee school for the firsttime must provide schools with a completeOfficial Tennessee Immunization Certificatebefore classes begin. The certificate must besigned by a qualified healthcare provider orverified by the state’s ImmunizationInformation System.

— All current students entering seventhgrade are required to give the school a limit-ed Official Tennessee ImmunizationCertificate showing they have had a seconddose of chickenpox vaccine (or a history ofthe illness) and a booster shot for tetanus,diphtheria and pertussis.

The HPV cancer vaccine and firstmeningococcal meningitis vaccine are also

recommended, but not required for school,for this age group.

— Incoming college students in Tennesseepublic colleges who will live in on-campushousing must provide proof of immunizationagainst meningococcal meningitis after age16.

Most private colleges also have require-ments for this vaccine and some schoolsrequire it of all new students. Check withyour college for details.

“The HPV vaccine is one of the recom-mended vaccines and we strongly urge girlsand boys to get this vaccine because it’s animportant part of lifetime cancer preven-tion,” said Dr. Moore. “The HPV vaccine isproven safe, effective and long-lasting.”

Immunizations required for school arereadily available from most healthcareproviders across the state, including countyhealth departments.

Children younger than age 19 may be eli-gible for free vaccine if they have no insur-ance, are enrolled in TennCare, have privateinsurance that does not cover vaccines or

are American Indian or Alaska native.The complete list of Tennessee child care

and school immunization requirements is onthe TDH website at www.tennesseeiis.govand https://www.kidcentraltn.com.

The website also has additional informa-tion about the importance of immunizations.Local schools and school districts can pro-vide information about when and howimmunization certificates need to be provid-ed.

The mission of the Tennessee Departmentof Health is to protect, promote and improvethe health and prosperity of people inTennessee.

TDH has facilities in all 95 counties andprovides direct services for more than 1 in 5Tennesseans annually, as well as indirectservices for everyone in the state, includingemergency response to health threats, licen-sure of health professionals, regulation ofhealth care facilities and inspection of foodservice establishments.

Moving into a dorm is one ofcollege life’s most exciting mile-stones; it’s the first time manykids are living away from thecomfy confines of home.

But the thrill can wane whenthe dormitory door opens. Mostdorm rooms are pretty basic,with plain furniture and institu-tional floors and walls.

So how do you take a roomfrom spartan to snazzy whenmost of the budget is going tomeal plans and books?

“No matter how small andcramped your dorm room maybe, you can still find cute ways tostore all your stuff — withoutspending a ton on organizersand decor,” say Seventeen maga-zine editor Kristin Koch.

She and stylist Sarah Newellsuggest creating a floating shelfout of a magazine file box, andturning clear plastic paint cansinto storage for hair accessoriesor school supplies. (www.seven-teen.com )

Repurposing and rethinkingare the keys to good hacks.

Tikva Morrow is editor in chiefat Hometalk.com, a New York-based do-it-yourself home andgarden website. She says it’stempting to load up on kitschydecor, but that’s a budget suck-er.

“DIY some pretty embellish-ments of your own instead,” shesuggests. “Bring along a few rollsof washi tape for wall decor andpicture displays, and make a fewlarge prints for walls.”

Decorative tape and fabric canalso be used to jazz up shelvingand built-ins.

Is that your roommate’s laptopcharger, or yours? Identify thecords and accessories by wrap-ping them with colorful tape,advises stylist and HGTV.comcontributor Michelle Edgemont.She also suggests adding thetape to a plain Jane table, orcloset door.

Look online for instructions onhow to make no-sew or simple-sew pillows with old T-shirts orsweaters.

“Cute throw pillows are easy tomake, and even a headboard canbe DIY-ed using a large piece ofcardboard, some fabric and a hotglue gun,” Morrow says.

Shower stall caddies can behung on a door or wall to corralloose items, says Gurl.com’sJessica Booth.

And organization bloggerLaura Wittman of Alberta,Canada, says shower-curtainrings can turn ordinary hangers

into scarf and belt organizers.Or use the rings to hang fabric

or curtains over existing dormblinds, personalizing your win-dows.

Dorm floors are pretty institu-tional, but students don’t wantto spend on nice rugs that willget lots of wear and tear. OnHometalk.com, Brooke Bock ofTyrone, Pennsylvania, shareshow she made a shaggy throwrug using a piece of non-slip rugmatting and recycled sheetscraps.

On the same site, SarahRamberg of Simpsonville, SouthCarolina, contributed the idea ofturning a silverware tray into ajewelry holder using paint, sten-cils and cup hooks.

A silverware tray tucked into adrawer makes good hideawaystorage for keys, ID cards, sun-glasses and electronics.

Design duo Zest It Up inAtascadero, California, suggestscreating an artsy, no-mainte-nance indoor garden by paintingsmooth rocks and planting themas faux cacti in a cool pot.

In many dorms, beds are onlofts over desks or storage areas,says Target stylist (and recentUCLA graduate) Tiffany Ma. Sherecommends using Target’sRoom Essentials Micro FiberSheets with side pockets: “It’s

like having your own floatingnightstand to hold your phone,tablet, book or glasses. You canget your exercise walking toclass, instead of climbing up anddown from your bunk.”

The retailer’s also got an over-the-door, full-length mirror withbuilt-in organizer.

“There’s nothing more boringthan the typical cinder-blockdorm-room wall — they’realmost impossible to nail orscrew into, plus you don’t wantto get in trouble for markingthem up,” Ma says.

Consider a colorful tapestry ora mural photo-printed with a“view”: a city at night, a scenefrom some faraway land, aserene nature-scape. Attach thecloth with non-marking adhesivestrips. (www.target.com )

When you’re doing the school-supply run, grab some extrasticky notepads. Pinterest is fullof ideas for wall art made withthe sticky notes. And instruc-tions for crafting decorative flow-ers are at www.post-it.com .

Or create a framed corkboardor mirror using rolled-up maga-zine pages and Mod Podge. Usinga paper punch, turn metallic orpaper cupcake holders into frillyfoils for string lights; Los Angelesdesigner Emma Jeffery showsyou how at www.fiskars.com .

What teachers would like parents to know

NEW YORK (AP) — Keeping thelines of communication openbetween parents and teachers canbe a challenge, especially in thisera of crowded classrooms andtime-crunched families. So manyquestions and issues go unspokenor unanswered.

So what would teachers like toexpress if they had more time totalk with parents?

Some of the issues aren’t easy todiscuss — from institutional prob-lems at schools, to tender subjectstouching on children’s family lifeand abilities.

Here’s a sample:—-

ADJUSTING THE SAILSSandi Bishop in suburban

Seattle was a classroom teacherfor 30 years in elementary andmiddle grades in North Dakotaand Iowa. Her students rangedfrom urban to rural, poor to well-off.

Parents, she said, don’t realizehow much teachers know aboutwhat goes on at home simply byinteracting with kids.

“I’d like to remind parents thatthe environment at home comes toschool,” she said. “If there is chaosat home, your child will come toschool not ready to focus andlearn. A phrase I often state is,some children come to school to beloved; loved children come toschool to learn. As a teacher, youbegin behavioral profiling muchlike the FBI does with suspects.”

Betsy Allison Tant in Knoxville,Tennessee, is a former teacher andmom of three.

As a teacher, she said, “I wantedparents to know that I’m teachingacademics within the context oflife. If I don’t know what’s going onwith a child or family, I can’tadjust the sails for those kids.”

As a parent, on the other hand,“I want teachers to respect myinput. When I say that there’ssomething going on that isimpacting my child in a way thatcan change their performance,please believe me and adjust thesails.”

Carolyn Lee, a substituteteacher in Hawaii, agrees that par-ents and teachers need to worktogether.

“No teacher, no matter how ded-icated, experienced and hard-working, can make up for the lackof parental involvement in a child’sstudies,” said Lee, who has taughtkindergartners, fourth graders,high schoolers and college stu-dents, some as a tutor. “A parent isstill the most influential teacher ina child’s life!”

—-BEHIND THE SCENES

Tim Cornillie in suburbanChicago taught high schoolEnglish and other subjects bothfull and part time for seven years,through 2012. He wants parentsto be aware of how far someschools stray from prioritizing aca-demics.

“Schools put up a smoke screen

of sports and extracurricular activ-ities,” he said, and advises: “Do aquick survey of principals’ back-grounds, and you’ll see how littleacademics and how much sportshave played a role in their careers.”

—-FALLING THROUGH THE

CRACKSKimi Ordoubadian Abernathy,

an independent educational con-sultant in Nashville, Tennessee,has four grown sons and a teenagedaughter. She has worked inadmissions or college counselingfor 24 years. Teachers, she said,often disregard or misunderstandthe challenges of kids with socialand emotional deficits.

“The way teachers dismiss a kidwho can be irritating makes thatkid fair game for the rest of theclass at lunch, PE, recess,etcetera,” she said.

Among them are those kidsmildly on the autism spectrum,who are falling through the cracks.

“If these kids did not have armswe would be all over them and pre-vent bullying. But often teacherssay these kids ‘bring it on them-selves,’” she said. “They needsocial support just to get to theacademics. They don’t bring it onthemselves. They have no cluewhat is going on. They ‘look nor-mal’ so teachers often forget thedegree to which they are handi-capped.”

—-ATTENDANCE, TRUST

Andrew Price has been teachingmath at an alternative high schoolin Portland, Oregon, for a year anda half. Parents, he said, shouldwork on supporting good atten-dance from the start.

“If students already have atten-dance issues by the time theyreach high school then there is lit-tle hope,” he said.

Price would like parents to rec-ognize what he calls a paradigmshift in terms of teachers andtrust: “It used to be that no matterwhat a kid said, parents would lis-ten to an adult. That is, if yourneighbor said your kid was beingbad and the kid denied it, the par-ents would trust the adult neigh-bor. The same thing was true forteachers.

“But now it seems that haschanged,” he said. “Parents sidewith their students and don’tbelieve the teachers.”

The Cleveland Family YMCA and Cleveland’s SalvationArmy chapter are two local nonprofits which believe inlending a helping hand.

This philosophy came to fruition recently when theSalvation Army agreed to assist the YMCA with a summerproject.

The YMCA, at the intersection of Stuart and Urbane roadsin Northeast Cleveland, was without a concessions vendorwhen the swim season began on Memorial Day. ExecutiveDirector Lee McChesney and Associate Executive DirectorRodney Murray offered the opportunity to the local SalvationArmy.

Ruthie Forgey of the Salvation Army said her organizationjumped at the chance, and the opportunity to help out in thecommunity.

“It’s amazing how many of our nonprofits in Cleveland andBradley County help out with other nonprofits,” said Murrayduring a brief interview earlier this week.

This opportunity to work with the Salvation Army and itsstaff and volunteers is just one partnership the YMCA hasentered into in recent years, said Murray.

SUNDAY

In appreciationAs I have mentioned

before, we receive manysigns of appreciation forwhat we do on a dailybasis from area resi-dents. It certainlybrightens an officer’s daywhen he or she gets apat on the back or a kindword.

Recently, I received aletter in the mail that Ifeel captures the verything a good officer seeksto be, and that is to be“Noble.”

I’d like to paraphrase aportion of the positive,uplifting letter from thisprivate citizen, because itarrived at just the righttime, during the nation-wide officer shootingsand a generally toughtime for all law enforce-ment personnel.

The letter begins bystating: I can think of nogroup that is thankedless and deserves itmore...

Thank you for arrest-ing the drug dealer whomight have sold his poi-son to my son had younot stopped him.

Thank you for catchingthe child molester whomight have harmed mychild had you not caughthim.

Thank you for inter-vening in the domesticcall, using your skills tode-escalate the situation.

Thank you for placingyour life in danger at DUIcheckpoints to catch thedrunk driver who mighthave taken my life hadhe been allowed to keepdriving.

Thank you for dealingwith the most unimagin-able examples of humandepravity and heinousbehavior, so that we ascitizens don’t have to.

Thank you for choos-ing to serve and protectothers at the expense ofyour own prosperity.

Friends of the CherokeeRemoval Memorial Park andlocal guests and dignitariesgathered July 8, 2016, to wit-ness the dedication of a 250-

year-old red oak stump on the originalTrail of Tears path beside old BlytheFerry Road in Birchwood.

The stump — the remains of a treerecently destroyed by heavy winds –—held significance to the early history ofMeigs County; its presence stood wit-ness to the removal of 9,000 Cherokeeat Blythe Ferry on the Tennessee River,and was standing when a young SamHouston lived in the area on HiwasseeIsland.

The park dedicated the stump inhonor of Rita Vital, park enthusiast andhistory lover, and to the mothers and

women who bore countless sacrificesduring the Cherokee removal.

“I am honored to be among the manymothers who are making a great differ-ence in our community,” shared Vital.

Friends, relatives and members ofthe community were present as shereceived the dedication.

“It was wonderful to have three gen-erations of friends here that meant a lotin my life,” she said.

The ceremony began with a prayer ofcleansing performed in the Cherokeetradition, followed by remarks andacknowledgements by Tom Morgan,Friends of the Cherokee RemovalMemorial Park president.

Guests then witnessed the unveilingof a stone monument formed in theshape of the state of Tennessee fromunderneath a traditional Cherokeecraftsman blanket.

Meigs County Mayor Bill James,County Commissioner Billy Ogle andrepresentatives of the TennesseeWildlife Resources Agency were amonglocal officials and community memberspresent at the ceremony.

“This park serves as an importantpart of our heritage,” said James. “Themany contributions made to CherokeeRemoval Memorial Park is a greatexample of stewardship, as we encour-age the preservation of the history, cul-ture and ecosystem of Meigs Countyand surrounding communities.”

Dennis Tumlin, Rhea County execu-tive director of economic development,said he understands the importance ofenvironmental conservation.

Tumlin said many towns have wit-nessed great economic growth by wayof expanding ecotourism opportunities.

“We have just as much heritage and

history,” he said, stating Rhea andHamilton counties are “perfectly poised”to benefit from nature preservation ofvast “under-protected and under-fund-ed land” throughout Meigs County.

Cherokee Removal Memorial Park —open all year from dawn until dusk – islocated at Blythe Ferry in Birchwoodalong the state of Tennessee TanasiTrail.

The 29-acre park is operated by theMeigs County General Government,and is home to monuments and kioskschronicling the history of the Cherokeepeople and Meigs County.

Going Respectfully AgainstAddictive Behavior — with FirstBaptist and FarmlandCommunity churches, and alsothe Family Resource Agency.

Murray said there have beenassociations with many otherorganizations, churches, schoolgroups and clubs in the commu-nity.

He said he believes this is oneof the reasons for the YMCA’sphenomenal success since itmoved from downtown Clevelandto its new facilities at the currentlocation.

This latest agreement with theSalvation Army is beneficial toboth organizations.

It provides YMCA memberswith the opportunity to havesnacks and beverages while on aswim outing, and the SalvationArmy is able to generate somerevenue for its many programs.

Forgey and Murray said theconcessions operation at theYMCA, called “Concessions forGood,” is designed somewhat likethe Inman Street Coffee Shopdowntown, also managed by theSalvation Army.

Salvation Army staff membersoperate the concession stand,with some assistance from volun-teers. All proceeds go to the orga-nization’s numerous programs.

The Salvation Army was able tostart the concession operationvery quickly. A donor providedstart-up necessities and conces-sions were available the very firstday the Salvation Army staff tookover.

Before entering the agreement,Forgey had to get approval fromthe Salvation Army’s AreaCommand, then from the organi-zation’s headquarters inKentucky.

The approval is for the remain-der of this summer, but Murrayand Forgey anticipate the recipro-cal agreement will continue intothe future.

The concession stand is openseven days a week, from 11 a.m.to 6 p.m. on weekdays and 1 to 5p.m. Sunday. The swimming poolis open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.Monday through Friday, 10 a.m.to 6 p.m. Saturday, and 1 to 5p.m. Sunday.

Currently, the concessionstand offers a wide variety ofsnacks, such as chips, candy, icecream, sodas, water, peanuts,crackers, cookies and sandwich-es. It is primarily an extension ofthe Inman Street Coffee House,but without the coffee.

Forgey is anticipating freshlyprepared food (on site) for thefuture, but that is not currentlypossible because the SalvationArmy does not have certificationfrom the Bradley County HealthDepartment to prepare food at thelocation.

Food would have to be pre-pared downtown, where TheSalvation Army does have certifi-cation. Forgey hopes to haveapproval before next season.

The concession stand onMonday was being managed bystaff member Haley Dorsey.

Murray and Forgey said theagreement is “a wonderful testi-mony” on how our local nonprof-its work together. It’s how we canbest serve the community. It’s abeautiful thing.”

Murray emphasized this is whythe Family YMCA enters intoagreements with a number oforganizations. “We have the spaceto help out,” he said.

The goal of the CATCH MathProject is to raise awarenessamong high school teachers ofnon-academic career options inmathematics, according toMaher-Boulis.

“Teachers gain a better under-standing of the mathematicalcontent and career-related skillspresent in three domains:Algebra, Geometry andFunctions,” said Maher-Boulis.“This was done through creatingreal-world problems that outlinethe targeted mathematical con-tent, the effective use of manip-ulatives and hands-on scientificexperiments and developingworkplace and technical skills.”

Instructional practices deliv-ered through the program mod-eled the TEAM (TennesseeEducator Acceleration Model)approach and showed teachershow to develop within their stu-dents the critical skills necessaryfor the next grade level, andeventually college.

The CATCH Math workshopalso included three guest speak-ers who talked about differentcareers and/or companies thatuse mathematics extensively,such as sports analytics;Boeing, an aerospace companyand leading manufacturer ofcommercial jetliners anddefense, space and security sys-

tems; companies that createglobal social entertainment net-works such as Xbox byMicrosoft; and more.

Participating teachers spent aday at the AT&T Field, home ofthe Chattanooga Lookouts,where they learned about sportsanalytics and how to get theirstudents excited about mathe-matics using sports and relevantclassroom activities.

CATCH Math participantsreceived classroom equipment,activities and resources that willhelp them apply and utilize thestrategies and ideas they havegained in the workshop.

“The high school teacher par-ticipants were very thankful at

the end of the workshop for thisopportunity and indicated theylearned a lot and that the work-shop was one of the best theyhad attended in years,” saidMaher-Boulis.

The CATCH Math workshopwas funded by the ImprovingTeacher Quality Grant program,a professional development ini-tiative for teachers to increasetheir knowledge and pedagogicalskills in math. The project isfunded under an agreement withthe state of Tennessee throughthe Tennessee Higher EducationCommission (THEC). Four onlinefollow-up sessions will continuethis fall for all workshop partici-pants.

Disney’s first Latina princess takes a bow on TVLOS ANGELES (AP) — The rar-

efied sorority of Disney princesseshas come a long way since 1937’sSnow White set the tone, graduallyexpanding to add Asian, African-American, Native American andMiddle Eastern tiara-wearers.Prepare to curtsy before anotherfresh face: Elena, the first Latinato take the vaunted throne.

Her realm is “Elena of Avalor,”an animated Disney Channelseries debuting 7 p.m. EDT Fridaywith an hour-long special. WhileElena isn’t a big-screen royal like— and they need no introduction— Anna and Elsa of “Frozen,” sheand the 26-episode series are get-ting majestic merchandising andtie-in fanfare from the Walt DisneyCo. at large.

Latino advocacy and civil rightsgroups say their impatience hasfinally been rewarded.

“It’s long overdue for Disney tohave a Latino princess,” said LisaNavarrete, spokeswoman for theNational Council of La Raza. “Evenif it’s not the highest priority for acivil rights organization, it’s impor-tant for little girls to see them-selves on screen.”

Indeed, said Alex Nogales, pres-ident and CEO of the NationalHispanic Media Coalition. Thegroup has long been active inseeking Hollywood diversity and,like La Raza, was lobbying Disneyto take the step.

Nogales said he was remindedwhy by his 4-year-old grand-daughter, Chloe, after they attend-ed a recent screening of the show.“‘She looks like me. She has browneyes, and look at her skin,’” herecalled her saying of the titlecharacter, a spirited, smartteenager who mirrors the new-wave Disney princess, as inempowered.

“Our children are being reflect-ed through the screen and it’saffecting them in a very positiveway,” Nogales said, something thatwasn’t part of his childhood mediaexposure.

The series’ look, style and sound

are shaped by a variety of old andnew Latino and Hispanic cultures,but the dialogue is in English savefor a sprinkling of Spanish wordsand phrases, such as the endear-ment “mija.”

Elena, voiced by Aimee Carrero,is an appealing hero for the show’s2-to-11 target audience andbeyond, a combination of intelli-gence, empathy and daring, andwith a magic amulet to back it up.

“I look at princesses as super-heroes with tiaras for little girls,”said series creator and executiveproducer Craig Gerber (who honedhis skills on Disney’s “Sofia theFirst”). “Whenever you write acharacter that can be looked at asa role model, there’s a responsibil-ity to make them a characterworth looking up to.”

Disney was enthusiastic abouthis TV pitch for “Elena,” about agirl who must content herself withruling as a princess until she ismature enough to claim her right-ful title of queen, he said. Evenpre-debut, the company hasbacked its commitment with prod-ucts (dolls, accessories, apparel,an upcoming record and DVD)

and the inclusion of the Elenacharacter at Florida’s Walt DisneyWorld Resort this summer andCalifornia’s Disneyland Resort thisfall.

“It’s definitely a show of howimportant the project is, not just tous at Disney Channel but to thecompany at large,” said NancyKanter, executive vice presidentand general manager, DisneyJunior Worldwide.

After its U.S. debut, the serieswill be rolled out in 163 countrieson the Disney Channel and DisneyJunior.

“Elena of Avalor” opens with afast-paced recitation of what direevents brought her to the thresh-old of power at the age of 16. Italso introduces her small, lovingfamily circle including younger sis-ter, Princess Isabel (Jenna Ortega),and doting grandparentsFrancisco and Luisa (EmilianoDiez, Julia Vera), and the nature ofthe world in which she dwells (amagical one, no surprise).

Other engaging charactersinclude a Harry Potter-like wizardin training, Mateo (Joseph Haro),and a harbor master’s daughter, aspunky blonde named Naomi(Jillian Rose Reed) who befriendsElena.

Head writer Silvia CardenasOlivas is prepared for scrutiny ofthis newly minted princess. She’salready gotten it from her Latinafriends, who include women ofCuban, Dominican and PuertoRican heritage. Their question:“How are you going to make us allfeel like she could be ourprincess?”

“I’ll be honest, I feel a tremen-dous amount of responsibility toget her right, so that everyone,whether you’re Latino or not, iden-tify with her,” Olivas said.

Computer-generated animationis used to create a fairy tale king-dom that, based on consultants’research, reflects varied culturesand influences including from thepre-Colombian and colonial eras,Gerber said.

LEGAL PUBLICATIONSMuseum receives gift of 300 Grooms artworks

NASHVILLE (AP) — TheTennessee State Museum is beinggiven more than 300 artworks byNashville native Red Grooms.

The Tennessean reports that theartworks are being being donatedfrom the collection of Walter andSarah Knestrick. They include 238graphic artworks, plus 52 com-mercially printed posters.

Walter Knestrick is a formerchairman of the Tennessee ArtsCommission who was a childhood

friends with Grooms in Nashville,where they were both 1955 gradu-ates of Hillsboro High School.Knestrick began collectingGrooms' works since his friendbegan doodling in fifth grade.

“We both painted all throughhigh school and I just alwaysbelieved he would be somethingelse,” Knestrick said

Grooms later moved to NewYork, where his gained interna-tional fame for his sculptures,paintings, installation art and film-making.

Knestrick says he had longwanted to donate the collection,but didn't find the current locationof the state museum in the base-ment of the Tennessee PerformingArts Center to be a suitable space.That changed with the construc-tion of a new Tennessee StateMuseum, which is scheduled toopen in 2018.

“I didn't want all that art to beunder the performing art centerwith no place to show it,”Knestrick said.

Lois Riggins-Ezzell, the muse-um's executive director, called thegift “the singularly most significantcollection of contemporary art everdonated to the Tennessee StateMuseum.”

Grooms' work is expected to befeatured in a new art exhibit oncethe new the museum is complete.

The state museum has anothersignature Grooms piece in stor-age: the Tennessee Fox TrotCarousel that once stood in down-town Nashville. The merry-go-round has been described by theartist as a “sculpto-pictorama” of36 rideable sculptures and 28painted panels featuring the like-nesses of prominent Tennesseans,animals and state symbols andsongs.

“Red Grooms was lost to NewYork in 1957 when he moved thereto live and work as an artist,” saidthen-Nashville Mayor PhilBredesen when the $1.75 millioncarousel was installed. “This way,we get a little piece of him back inour community.”

But within four years of open-ing, leaks in the pavilion werecausing water damage to thecarousel and it was sold to thestate and put into storage.Grooms fans have been hoping forthe carousel to become part of thenew state museum, but officialshave not indicated any plans to doso.

Grooms told the weeklyNashville Scene earlier this yearthat he and wife Lysiane are hop-ing the carousel comes out of stor-age.

“I wouldn't care if we put a can-vas top on it and use it in thesummer, and then just packed itwith the weather,” he said. “It's awhole generation that has missedthe whole thing, and I hope itwould have been entertaining forthem.”

Washington County attorneyturns back religious complaints

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (AP) —A northeastern Tennesseecounty attorney says a highschool religious club can con-tinue to meet as long as itremains sponsored and led bystudents.

The Johnson City Pressreports that Washington CountyAttorney Tom Seeley's findingcomes in response to a claim bythe Freedom From ReligionFoundation that a schoolemployee was running thegroup called the Fish Club.

Following and investigation,Seeley says the Fish Club atDavid Crockett High School isallowed to invite outside speak-

ers to celebrate their faith, andthat there was nothing inappro-priate about visits by a YoungLife Christian group to hand outfast food baskets at the school.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Clues towhat became of North Carolina’sfabled Lost Colony could lie in awaterfront tract where developersonce wanted to build thousandsof condos — and now, one ofthose would-be developers isseeking millions of dollars to pre-serve the property.

The effort to save the 1,000acres in rural Bertie County is inan early stage. Even the environ-mental group that developerMichael Flannelly hopes will helphasn’t seen the property yet. ButFlannelly said he’s optimistic thathis vision will eventually becomea reality.

“I want to see the site pre-served,” said Flannelly, who liveson a boat that’s usually docked inNorfolk, Virginia, or near his landin Bertie County. “I think it wouldmake a fantastic place for peopleto come.”

The mystery of the Lost Colony— England’s first settlement inNorth America — has intriguedhistorians and the popular imag-ination for centuries.

In 1587, 116 English settlerslanded on Roanoke Island, led byexplorer John White. He left themthere when he sailed back toEngland that same year for moresupplies. Delayed by war betweenEngland and Spain, he didn’treturn until 1590 — and when hedid, he discovered the entirecolony had simply vanished.

White knew the majority hadplanned to move “50 miles intothe maine,” as he wrote, referringto the mainland. The only clueshe found about the fate of theother two dozen were the word“CROATOAN” carved into a postand “CRO” lettered on a treetrunk, leading historians tobelieve they moved south to livewith American Indians on what’snow Hatteras Island.

But some archaeologists nowsuspect that at least some of theRoanoke colonists found theirway to the inland site south of theChowan River bridge, roughly 50miles from Roanoke. It first cameto light in 2012, whenresearchers at the BritishMuseum in London announcedthey had found a drawing of a fortthat had been obscured under apatch on a map of Virginia andNorth Carolina drawn by White inthe 1580s.

The drawing placed the fort inan area of Bertie County wherearchaeologists had found colo-nial-era English pottery and signsof a Native American village sev-eral years earlier during a digthat the state required beforeFlannelly and his partners couldget permits for the subdivisionthat was never built.Archaeologists have since foundfurther evidence on the tract,dubbed Site X, including baleseals used to verify cloth qualityand 16th-century nails.

Before the site can be pre-served, Flannelly must buy outhis former development partners.

Flannelly estimates it will take$4 million to $5 million, alongwith a conservation group willingto help raise the money and pre-serve the land. To any cynics whosuspect Flannelly is doing thisonly for the money, he says hewould get 8 percent of any sale,plus a tax credit. And the pro-posed buyout is far less than the$10 million Flannelly says thedevelopers paid for the property.

A spokesman for the company,Forest City, said in an email thatofficials know about the archaeo-logical finds but have no otherupdates about the status of theproperty. Forest City no longerworks in land development,spokesman Jeff Linton said.

Flannelly said that whenarchaeologists uncovered theproperty’s historical significance,he insisted that those areas becordoned off as green space andnot developed.

Flannelly personally owns 15acres that include the possibleLost Colony site, but said hedidn’t know about the artifactswhen he chose that land for hisown home. “They felt the same Idid,” he said of the settlers.“That’s the best piece of propertyon the whole tract.”

He has turned to NorthCarolina’s Coastal Land Trust, anonprofit that has preservedmore than 65,000 undevelopedacres in 31 counties since 1992.Lee Leidy, attorney and northeastregional director for the trust,said officials there hope to view

the property later this month.“It’s fascinating,” she said. “It’s

one that we’re very excited to takea look at and learn more about.”

But raising funds to preservethe land presents a challenge,since limited conservation dollarsmust cover many projects, shesaid.

“If it’s done properly, I think itcould be tremendous,” said ArwinSmallwood, who wrote “BertieCounty: An Eastern NorthCarolina History” and chairs thehistory department at N.C. A&TState University in Greensboro.“Right now in Bertie County, youcan have a true sense of historyand what the landscape waslike.”

Tourists travel by the thou-sands to Dare County, home ofthe outdoor performance of “TheLost Colony” at an outdooramphitheater on Roanoke Island.Now Bertie County residents haveadopted the settlers as their ownas well. More than 300 peopleattended the town of Windsor’sfirst Lost Colony Festival in April,said Billy Smithwick, the townfire chief and tourism manager.In addition, the county is acquir-ing 137 acres for a nearby park.

“I think it would be quite atourist attraction,” saidSmithwick. “The Lost Colony isthe greatest mystery in historythat there is.”

Troy archaeological students uncover ancient past overseas

TROY, Ala. (AP) — Studentsfrom Alabama’s Troy Universityrecently participated in anarchaeological expedition thathas shed new light on the ori-gins of the Philistines, a race ofpeople described in the Bible.

The dig uncovered what isbelieved to have been aPhilistine cemetery in the areaof Ashkelon, a site near Tel Avivin modern-day Israel. The Bibledescribes the Philistines as theenemy of the ancient Israelites.Researchers believe the discov-ery could reveal more informa-tion about the Philistines andtheir origins.

Ashleigh Williams, ofEnterprise, Alabama, wasamong the Troy students partic-ipating in the expedition.Williams said Troy studentswho had attended previous digsat the site convinced her tomake the trip.

“I had to wait almost threeyears before I was able to go onthis expedition, and when I wasfinally given the opportunity togo, Ashkelon became a lifechanging experience for me thatI will always cherish,” she said.

Williams said putting togethera skeleton in the field was one ofthe most memorable experi-ences she had on the trip.

“It occurred to me in thatmoment that I was uncovering aonce living person that had fam-ily, friends, a home, and a storythat was buried by time,” shesaid.

Williams, 20, is an anthropol-ogy major who intends to pur-sue forensic anthropology as acareer.

In addition to the archaeolog-

ical work, Williams said she alsoenjoyed interacting with the res-idents of the area.

“The people were very friend-ly, and patient with us,” shesaid. “They spoke to us inEnglish, making the transactioneasier. Restaurants had menusthat were in English andHebrew, so the language barrierwas not that difficult.”

Clayton Johnson, also ofEnterprise, participated in theexpedition too. Johnson saidhe’s participated in digs inAmerica, but there’s somethingdifferent about participating inone in a place like Ashkelon.

“There’s something differentabout a 3,000 year old site asopposed to something that’sonly 300 years old,” he said.

Johnson said expeditionsprovide a critical trial by fire foranthropology students.

“It can either solidify yourcommitment or change yourmind,” he said. “You find outthat you absolutely want to dothis after getting up at 5 a.m.and spending all day in the fieldor that it’s not for you.”

According to the university, in2012, Troy officially joined theLeon Levy Foundation,Harvard’s Semitic Museum,Boston College and WheatonCollege in a consortium to con-tinue an ongoing excavationthat began in 1985 that teamedprofessional archaeologists withstudents and volunteers to con-duct annual excavations of theancient city about 35 milessouth of Tel Aviv. The cemeterysite where Troy studentsworked this year was found in2013.

U.S. homes sales improvedduring June

WASHINGTON (AP) —Americans bought more homes inJune, the fourth straight monthlygain as the sales rate reached itshighest level in more than nineyears.

The National Association ofRealtors said Thursday that salesof existing homes rose 1.1 percentlast month to a seasonally adjust-ed annual rate of 5.57 million, thebest performance since February2007. Buyers are quickly makingoffers amid tight supplies ofhomes on the market, boostingprices as the traditional buyingseason reached its crescendo.The solid job market and mort-gage rates near historic lows havekept demand steady, even thoughthe number of listings on themarket has dropped.

But continued sales gainsappear to be limited this yearbecause of the acute shortage oflistings. The meager supplieshave fueled price growth that haseclipsed wage gains while forcingbuyers to either save more fordown payments or borrow moreheavily. The result is that saleslikely peaked in June, as datafrom the Realtors show the paceof signed contracts and openhouse visits have slipped.

Sales rose in the Midwest andWest last month, while stayingunchanged in the South and slip-ping in the Northeast.

The median home sales pricewas $247,700 in June, up 4.8percent from a year ago. Thatincrease is roughly double thepace of average hourly wagegains.

Individual investors areretreating from the housing mar-ket, being replaced by first-timebuyers. First-timers comprised33 percent of June sales, theirhighest share of the market infour years.

Despite the improving prices,the number of listings on themarket has fallen over the pastyear. Many homeowners are stillrebuilding equity that vanishedwhen the housing bubble beganto burst almost a decade ago.Even though prices are withinstriking distance of their peaks,these homeowners would beunable to generate enough of aprofit from a sale to pay for theexpense of purchasing a newhome.

The number of listings has fall-en 5.8 percent from a year ago to2.12 million.

Many current homeowners arechoosing to update their currentproperties, a possible sign ofeither their desire to stay put ortheir plans to list the property forsale in the future.
