Banner Staff Writer
Cleveland Police Officer Jeffery Griggs has
been demoted and CPD Lt. Steve Tyson has
been reassigned as a result of an Internal
Affairs investigation concerning their involvement with an incident involving Griggs’ wife
and former Chief Dennis Maddux.
The CPD announced the disciplinary action
this morning, finding Griggs to be in violation
of several department policies, and as a result
has been demoted from crime scene technician (Level 26) to the patrol division as a Level
25 patrol officer.
According to the DA’s report, Griggs was
found to be in violation of the following CPD
policies:
—Policy 04-A/LL Subsection 4-HH,
Truthfulness;
—Policy 05-A/LL, Prohibited Behaviors
Subsection;
—Disobeying Orders; and
—Compliance with Direct Orders of
Superior or Internal Investigation Officer.
In his disciplinary action, Tyson was given
a verbal reprimand for violating Policy 04A/LL, Failure to Report Violations. As part of
his discipline, Tyson has been reassigned to
the patrol division.
Maddux submitted his request for retirement Tuesday.
The disciplinary decision in the cases of
Tyson and Griggs were made by Interim Chief

said he had been introduced to

Lawson said in the search for
ways to best serve the county taxpayers, “We have looked for other
ways of funding.”
“On a good point, our collections are still above projections.
We are on track for $4.7 million,”
Lawson said.
He said one director of a service

him aside to have a conversation.
“I told him how many calls we
ran and he asked, ‘Are you collecting $5.5 million?’ I said no
and he said I needed to talk to

The final vote totals, from

The 2015 “Idol” winner is
Connecticut’s Nick Fradiani.
Fradiani eliminated Beckham in
what was called a very slim margin.
Tuesday night’s entertainment, which determined the
final vote, is being referred to as
perhaps the greatest ever in

Beckham said. “I’ll go wherever
he wants me to.”
Fradiani described what the
final night meant to the finalists.
“We both really want it,” he
said.
Beckham spoke up to
describe his strategy during the
competition. He had been criticized throughout for not adapting to advice from the judges,

Monthly average of unemployment
claims falls to 15-year low
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
number of people seeking U.S.
unemployment benefits ticked
lower last week, pushing down
the four-week average of applications to its lowest level since
April 2000.
Weekly applications fell 1,000
to a seasonally adjusted 264,000
last week, the Labor Department
said Thursday. That is just
above a 15-year low reached
three weeks ago. The average, a
less volatile figure, dropped
7,750 to 271,750, the lowest in
15 years.
Applications are a proxy for
layoffs, so their very low level is
evidence that Americans are
enjoying solid job security. It is
also a sign employers are confident enough in the economy to
keep their staffs, despite signs of
sluggish growth.
Burglary solved; additional burglaries reported
By TONY EUBANK
Banner Staff Writer
The Bradley County Sheriff’s
Office Criminal Investigations
Division recently solved the burglary of a Rabbit Valley Road outbuilding.
During investigation of the
theft, reported April 22, detectives discovered a portable planer
on pawnshop records that identified Corey Allan Zumstein, 21, as
the person receiving payment for
the tool. Charges were filed within 48 hours of the incident naming Zumstein as the suspect.
Efforts to find Zumstein were
unsuccessful until Wednesday,
when deputies arrested him
without incident. The planer was
one of several items taken out of
the building that included two
jack stands, an ST transmission
and a mechanic’s dolly.
The stolen property had a
value in excess of $700.
Zumstein was booked into the
Bradley County jail on charges of
burglary and theft over $500.
His bond was set at $15,000.
Sheriff Eric Watson commended members of the Patrol Division
and CID for clearing a large number of burglaries and thefts in
recent week. “I’m just not going to
tolerate thefts and burglaries in
Bradley County. People work too
hard to lose items they use as
part of their livelihood to thieves,”
Watson said.
n Cleveland Police Department
spokesperson
Evie
West
announced several car burglaries
were reported earlier this week in
the Northwood subdivision off
Keith Street. Laptops, GPS
devices, purses and money were
among the items reported stolen.
“Please remember to remove
valuables from vehicles, especially overnight. Also, double check
that your vehicles are locked and
all windows are secured. This is
the biggest deterrent for thieves
that might come back to target
the same area,” West said.
Detective Bill Parks stated that
these are crimes of opportunity
and that people who steal from
cars rarely break windows. Auto
burglaries are usually committed
by drug addicts and juveniles,
and tend to increase with warm
weather, West added.
According to police reports,
CPD officer Michael McCoy
responded to a report of an auto
burglary on Woodcrest Circle, in
the Northwood subdivision. After
speaking with the initial complainant, several others in the
neighborhood came forward with
similar complaints of their vehicles being ransacked and items
missing from them.
Several people also described
the same subject, a short white
male, standing about 5 feet, 4
inches tall. The man is also
described as being bald, weighing
about 130 pounds, and sporting
a neck tattoo of the number 18.
The suspect was eventually
identified by a witness as Jimmy
Samples, 31, of Cleveland. The
investigation is ongoing.

Tears of joy for Va. family as
man pardoned after 29 years
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) —
Michael Kenneth McAlister’s
family shed more than a few
tears over the 29 years he was
locked up for an attempted rape
he didn’t commit.
The tears flowed again for a
different reason Wednesday.
Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe
granted McAlister, 58, a full pardon — long-awaited vindication
that family members were told
about on a conference call with
the wrongly convicted man’s
lawyers.
“We were all crying tears of joy
this time,” McAlister’s sister,
Denise Haas, said in a telephone
interview. “I was screaming and
crying so loud I couldn’t even
hear my brother.”
She apologized for the tearful
outburst, Haas said, and her
brother responded: “Don’t worry
about it. I’m doing the same
thing.”
The exoneration came five
days before a hearing that could
have led to McAlister’s indefinite
confinement as a violent sex
offender under the state’s civil
commitment law. Authorities,
including the former Richmond
police detective who investigated
McAlister and former and current city prosecutors, say the
real perpetrator was a serial
rapist who three decades ago
bore a striking resemblance to
McAlister.
“My staff and I have carefully
and thoroughly reviewed the
documentation in this case and
concluded that a pardon is
appropriate in light of the overwhelming evidence, including a
recent confession by another
individual, pointing to Mr.
McAlister’s actual innocence of
the crime for which he was convicted,” McAuliffe said in a written statement.
Michael Kenneth McAlister
Virginia prisons spokeswoman
Lisa Kinney was unable to say
how soon McAlister will be
released from prison.
“We’re thrilled the governor
did the right thing here and that
he’s giving Mike the freedom he’s
deserved for so long,” said
Shawn Armbrust, executive
director of the Mid-Atlantic
Innocence
Project,
which
pushed for McAlister’s exoneration. “I know these aren’t easy
decisions for governors to make,
and we are grateful that Gov.
McAuliffe did it and did it so
quickly.”
McAuliffe granted the pardon
a little over a month after receiving the petition.
McAlister was convicted of the
February 1986, abduction and
attempted rape of a woman who
was dragged at knifepoint from
an apartment complex laundry
room in Richmond. The victim
fought off her assailant and was
able to get a partial look at his
face by clawing at his stocking
mask.
The
woman
identified
McAlister as the attacker from a
photo lineup that did not
include a picture of a serial
rapist, Norman Bruce Derr, who
was active in the area at the
time. A previous attack by Derr
on a police decoy in a laundry
room of the same apartment
complex had been thwarted.
McAuliffe spokesman Brian
Coy confirmed that Derr, who is
serving three life terms in
prison, is the man who confessed to the crime for which
McAlister was convicted.
McAlister was initially identified as a suspect based on a
police composite sketch. He was
known to the local police
because he had a record of indecent exposure and he lived only
about four miles from the apartment complex where the attack
occurred. When he was interviewed by detectives, McAlister
agreed to allow them to take his
picture wearing a plaid shirt
similar to the one the attacker
had worn. He was the only person in the photo lineup wearing
that type of shirt, the petition
says.
The only trial evidence linking
McAlister to the attack was the
victim’s eyewitness testimony.
Haas said her brother was initially angry about his plight, but
not anymore.
“None of us harbor any anger
toward anybody, not at all,” she
said.
Haas said family members
were looking forward to making
up for lost time together and
enjoying some simple pleasures
McAlister missed while he was
locked up.
“He’s been wanting pork
chops forever and a day,” she
said. “So we’ve got some nice,
thick pork chops to put on the
grill and we will let him take it
from there.”
Mark Cate leaving governor’s administration
NASHVILLE (AP) — Mark
Cate is leaving Republican Gov.
Bill Haslam’s administration
after serving as Haslam’s campaign manager in 2010 and as
the governor’s chief of staff
after he took office.
Cate served as point man for
many of the governor’s top legislative initiatives, including
caps on payouts from successful civil lawsuits and changing
teacher tenure rules. He also
spearheaded this year’s failed
effort to pass Haslam’s Insure
Tennessee proposal to extend
health coverage to 280,000 lowincome people.
“Mark has been a key player
and a valuable part of our team
since my first campaign for governor,” Haslam said in a statement. “He is talented at keeping
a lot of balls in the air at the
same time and keeps us moving
forward as a team.
Cate is the latest Cabinet
member to leave early in
Haslam’s second term. Others
include former Education
Commissioner Kevin Huffman;
Economic and Community
Development Commissioner Bill
Hagerty; and chief legal counsel
Herbert Slatery, who was
appointed attorney general.
Cate was a political unknown
when Haslam named the real
estate developer and former
Maryville College financial officer as his campaign manager in
2009. Cate navigated Haslam
through a tricky GOP primary
and to a resounding win in the
general election.
“It has been the highlight and
highest honor of my career to
serve Governor Haslam and to
be a part of the incredible team
of talented women and men he
has assembled,” Cate said in a
release.
Cate was first named special
adviser when Haslam took
office, but was elevated to chief
of staff after the retirement of
adviser Claude Ramsey in
2013. He became the target of
tea-party styled lawmakers in
the 2014 primaries for what
Rep.
Rick
Womick,
RMurfreesboro, in a letter to
Cate decried as “the treasonous
targeting” of incumbents who
crossed the governor on education issues such as Common
Core education standards.
“That is totally crazy,” Cate
said at the time. “I had no
involvement at all. This is
crazy. I have no idea why he’s
picked us out, but it’s totally
untrue.”
Cate sometimes often played
the role of the enforcer as the
Haslam administration tried to
get lawmakers to approve key
legislation. That hard line,
though, was sometimes undercut by the governor’s own
desire to avoid conflict and
hard feelings.
Cate plans to establish a
strategic consulting and management firm after leaving the
Haslam administration this
summer.
Customers say fraud at Haslam-owned chain went deeper
NASHVILLE (AP) — After a
2013 FBI raid on the truck-stop
chain owned by Cleveland
Browns owner Jimmy Haslam
and Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam,
Pilot Flying J moved quickly to
settle fraud claims. But a handful of companies that refused to
settle say they have uncovered a
deception that other firms overlooked.
The trucking companies
agreed to buy fuel exclusively
from Pilot Flying J in exchange
for special rates, according to
court documents. Those rates
varied from company to company but often were based on the
fuel cost plus a few cents per
gallon. Pilot has admitted that in
many cases it failed to provide
the promised rate — for example, tacking on an additional 3
cents per gallon rather than a
promised 2 cents.
But trucking firms suing in
federal court say they also were
deceived about the initial cost
those rebates were based on.
In documents filed Monday,
the firms say they believed
Pilot’s “cost-plus” offers were
based on Pilot’s actual fuel
costs. In reality, they were based
on an industry average plus various fees and taxes.
“Pilot, as the largest retail
supplier of diesel fuel, does not
pay an average price,” the lawsuit claims.
Pilot attorney Aubrey Harwell
said the Oil Price Information
Services contract average used
by Pilot is simply the industry
standard.
“For many years, Pilot has
been totally transparent about
the basis for cost. They have not
taken advantage of any customers, notwithstanding the
allegations by a select few to the
contrary,” Harwell said.
After the rebate fraud was
exposed, the company quickly
settled claims with about 5,500
trucking firms, agreeing in a
class-action lawsuit to pay $85
million in money owed and
interest in November 2013.
Several companies opted out
of the class action and filed their
own lawsuits in federal court. At
least one outstanding lawsuit
raises similar claims against
Pilot in state court in Illinois.
Since the raid, 10 former Pilot
employees have pleaded guilty to
fraud. CEO Jimmy Haslam has
not been charged and has said
he was unaware of the scheme.
Gov. Bill Haslam has said he is
not involved in Pilot’s day-to-day
operations.
Last July, Pilot agreed to pay a
$92 million penalty, and federal
attorneys agreed not prosecute
the company. Pilot had $31.4
billion in revenue last year.
Police officer helps deliver baby in car
JACKSON (AP) — A Jackson
police officer helped deliver a distressed baby in a car after he
heard a woman screaming nearby.
The
Jackson
Sun
(http://bit.ly/1K7Ecv5) reports
officer Joshua Vinson was parked
in a patrol car Tuesday when he
heard a woman yelling about her
baby. When he went to check on
the child, he found a woman in
labor.
Police say the woman and her
mother were from out of town and
heading to the hospital to deliver
the baby. When Vinson started to
help with the delivery, he noticed
the baby wasn’t crying and the
umbilical cord was wrapped
around the newborn’s neck.
Vinson untangled the cord and
radioed for EMS help.
Vinson’s supervisor says he’s
adding a note into his file about
his heroic act.
The mother hasn’t been identified.
popularity rating remained
unchanged from the university’s
last poll in November.
Haslam’s Insure Tennessee
proposal was defeated twice in
Senate committees during the
recently concluded legislative
session. But the poll of 1,001
registered voters finds that 78
percent want the full Legislature
to vote on the proposal. Sixtyfour percent said they support
Insure Tennessee, while 19 percent said they oppose it.
The poll also suggests that
Haslam will face a tough path in
trying to build support for a gas
tax increase in Tennessee. Just
25 percent said they support
increasing the tax for the first
time in 25 years. Forty-six percent said they would oppose an
increase.
Asked later about the poll,
Republican Senate Speaker Ron
Ramsey of Blountville jokingly
asked his aides “Did you get
that out of the trashcan yet?”
“All I know is I want to try to
create the best policy for the
state of Tennessee, and I’m not
going to do it literally on
polling,” Ramsey said.
“On both of these issues,
whether it’s Insure Tennessee or
on the gasoline tax, all of us as
legislators usually have more
information that the general
public,” he said.
On gun issues, 9 percent said
they
support
allowing
Tennesseans to buy guns without background checks, and 21
percent said they want people to
be able to carry handguns in
public without a state-issued
permit.
A bill Haslam recently signed
into law to allow firearms in
public parks had the support of
44 percent, while half respondents said they would support a
ban on anyone being armed
within 250 feet of a school.
A proposal to make the Bible
the official state book roiled the
Legislature in the final weeks of
the session. It ultimately failed
amid twin concerns over its
constitutionality and the placement of the Bible on par with
innocuous state symbols such
as the official salamander, tree
and beverage.
But the poll found that the 60
percent of registered voters support making the Bible the state
book. Support was highest
among those identifying themselves as tea party members at
80 percent. Support was lowest
among Democrats at 50 percent.
Among the poll’s other findings:
— 55 percent said doctors
should be allowed to assist
patients end their lives if they
have diseases that can’t be
cured and are living in pain; 39
percent oppose.
— 22 percent support overturning the state law requiring
motorcyclists to wear helmets;
75 percent said they would
oppose the change.
— 86 percent would support
requiring police officers to wear
video cameras while on duty; 11
percent oppose.
— 48 percent support marijuana legalization only for
medicinal use, 24 percent want
it legalized for personal use, and
25 percent say it should not be
legal in any circumstance.
The poll conducted for
Vanderbilt by Princeton Survey
Research
Associates
International from April 23 to
May 9 has a margin of error of
plus or minus 4.3 percentage
points.

Diddy talks ‘tasteful’ sex clip, new fragrance and Baltimore
NEW YORK (AP) — Sean
“Diddy” Combs will be the first
to tell you that he doesn’t
launch brands, he launches
lifestyles. So when it came time
to promote his latest fragrance,
he put himself on the line and
starred a racy video with girlfriend Cassie that many have
deemed too risque for television.
He said the simulated sex in
the 3AM promotional video was
inspired by those provocative
Calvin Klein commercials.
“It pushes the envelope, but
it’s done in a very tasteful way.
It’s more about your thinking
about than what you’re seeing
on the screen,” explained Diddy.
With success making music
as an artist and producer as well
as with his fashion line, Sean
John, Diddy says he’s driven by
the same principle for success—
hard work. It’s paid off; Forbes
recently named him the wealthiest hip-hop artist, and his fragrances — this is the fourth —
have earned him a couple of FiFi
Awards,
the
Fragrance
Foundation’s annual industry
honors.
The Grammy-winning artist
spoke about his brand last
week, but had weightier issues
on his mind, including the
unrest in Baltimore over the
death of Freddie Gray in police
custody.
AP: You’ve been outspoken
regarding the way the president
handled Ferguson, what are
your thoughts on Baltimore?
Diddy: Baltimore is something
that people have to realize is not
just something that is just
occurring over this one tragedy.
... The black community are the
forgotten ones — just like people
are in poverty all over this country, but especially the black
community. So you have a lot of
built-up frustration especially in
the kids that see their future is
bleak and they are being forgot-

ten. People need to pay attention
to that. .... Something has to
change soon.
AP: You have the music, the
clothes, and the scent, the
vodka line; what else can you
do?
Diddy: It’s philanthropy. So
for me, it’s what change can I
make. So you were talking about
Baltimore and Ferguson. As an
African-American man, I have a
responsibility in the future. I
want to be able to do more
things to affect change.
AP: Would running for political office be one of them?
Diddy: No not at all. I love
what I do. I don’t like politics.
I’m not a big talker. If I say I’m
gonna run a marathon, I’m
gonna run it. If I say I’m gonna
put out a fragrance, I’m gonna
put out a fragrance. If I say I’m
gonna change the world for the
positive, that’s what I’m gonna
do.
AP: The music business has
changed. Is it important for
artist to adapt to find other revenue streams?
Diddy: I’m an artist, but I’m
also a businessman. As a businessman it was important for
me to diversify. I didn’t just look
at myself as someone making
music, I make lifestyles, so for
me it was diversifying and just
loving business and figuring out
how to market and create
brands for this generation,
(which) is something I specialize
in.
AP: When are you going back
into the studio?
Diddy: I’m going back in the
studio now. I’m producing other
people now. That’s how I started, producing. So I’m just in
there having fun and really just
experimenting with some things.
But being able to launch new
artists or artists that want a different sound for their next
album — it’s exciting to get back
into producing.
AP: Plans for a new Diddy
album?
Diddy: If I come up with something great, I’ll make sure I
release something.
AP: What are your thoughts
on Tidal (Jay-Z’s music streaming service)?
Diddy: It’s a great idea for the
artist to be involved in the distribution. Everything takes time,
so we’ll see in the next couple of
years. But I would bet on Jay-Z

— Exfoliate skin regularly to

splash of warm water. This also
“plumps up” the hair.
— Multiblade razors really do a
better job, and result in fewer
nicks!

Olive Garden’s latest plan: Breadstick sandwiches
NEW YORK (AP) — Olive
Garden’s plan to win back customers? Take the breadsticks it’s
known for and make sandwiches
out of them.
The restaurant chain owned by
Darden Restaurants Inc. says it
plans to use its breadsticks for
chicken parmigiana and meatball
sandwiches starting June 1.
The addition of the breadstick
sandwiches are just the latest
attempt to revamp Olive Garden’s
menu and marketing as sales
have declined for the past three of
its fiscal years. Justin Sikora, a
Darden representative, said the
breadsticks used for the sandwiches will be a bit shorter and
wider than the regular breadsticks.
As with all other dishes, the
sandwiches come with unlimited
breadsticks.
Olive Garden’s unlimited
breadsticks gained attention last
year during a dispute with an
investor, Starboard Value. Among
other criticisms, Starboard said
Darden wasn’t being disciplined
in its distribution of breadsticks
to customers. It also said the

President BArAck OBAmA, right, and Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmed Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, Emir of the
State of Kuwait, head toward the White House as as Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmed Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, arrives
at the South Lawn of the White House in Washington, Wednesday. Gulf nation leaders gathered in
Washington to warn President Barack Obama of the risks of completing a nuclear deal with Iran. Obama
will try to convince them of the potential benefits for the region.
Obama convenes Camp David
summit with Gulf states leaders
WASHINGTON (AP) — President
Barack Obama and leaders from
six Gulf nations are trying to work
through tensions sparked by the
U.S. bid for a nuclear deal with
Iran, a pursuit that has put
regional partners on edge.
Obama is seeking to reassure
the Gulf leaders gathering at
Camp David that U.S. overtures
to Iran will not come at the
expense of commitments to their
security. He is expected to offer
them more military assistance,
including increased joint exercises and coordination on ballistic
missile systems.
But when Thursday’s meetings
at the presidential retreat in the
Maryland mountains conclude, it’s
unlikely Obama will have fully
assuaged the Gulf’s deep-seated
fear of Iranian meddling in the
region.
“My guess is that the summit is
going to leave everybody feeling a
little bit unsatisfied,” said Jon
Alterman, the Middle East director at the Center for Strategic and
International Studies.
Obama and the leaders from
Saudi Arabia, Qatar, United Arab
Emirates, Kuwait, Oman and
Bahrain opened their talks with a
private dinner Wednesday night
at the White House. Just two
heads of state are among those
meeting Obama, with other
nations sending lower-level, but
still influential representatives.
The most notable absence in
Saudi King Salman. On Sunday,
Saudi Arabia announced that the
king was skipping the summit,
just two days after the White
House said he was coming.
Crown Prince Mohammed bin
Nayef and Deputy Crown Prince
Mohammed bin Salman were representing Saudi Arabia instead.
They held a separate meeting with
Obama before the other leaders
arrived.
The president made no mention
of Saudi skepticism of the Iran
talks as he opened the meeting,
but acknowledged the region is in
the midst of a “very challenging
time.”
The White House and Saudi
officials insist the king is not
snubbing Obama. But Salman’s
conspicuous absence comes amid
indisputable signs of strain in the
long relationship between the
U.S. and Saudi Arabia, driven not
only by Obama’s Iran overtures,
but also the rise of Islamic State
militants and a lessening U.S.
dependency on Saudi oil.
“There have been disagreements
under this administration and
under the previous administration
about certain policies and development in the Middle East, but I
think on a set of core interests, we
continue to have a common view
about what we aim to achieve,”
said Ben Rhodes, Obama’s deputy
national security adviser.
The Gulf summit comes as the
U.S. and five other nations work
to reach an agreement with Iran
by the end of June to curb its
nuclear ambitions in exchange for
relief from international economic
sanctions. The Gulf nations fear
that an influx of cash will only
facilitate what they see as Iran’s
aggression.

Mark Gibson.
All of the actions received the
approval of City Manager Janice
Casteel.
Casteel told the Cleveland
Daily Banner early this morning
she was glad the process has
come to an end.
“Our focus now is to move forward in ensuring the citizens of
Cleveland have the best possible
law enforcement agency available
to them,” Casteel said. “The
process to learn from past errors
and reinforce our commitment to
that goal is ongoing. Our community needs to know of the professionalism and dedication of the
members of the Cleveland Police
and not allow the mistakes of a
few sully their record.”
In his decision summation concerning Griggs, Gibson said the
officer’s actions “are not characteristic of any behavior he has
ever displayed in his 20-year
career,” citing Griggs’ “good work
history and [he] doesn’t have any
significant disciplinary issues.”
Griggs was working as a crime
scene tech at the time of the incidents, a position Gibson said
causes integrity to be of extra
importance.
“It is critical to have a person in
this position that is at the highest
level of trust and whose credibility is proven. Jeff Griggs’ credibility has been compromised as
result of this event,” Gibson
wrote.
“I do sympathize with Jeff
Griggs, but also understand that
police officers are held to a higher
standard and must use their best
judgment on and off duty,”
Gibson wrote.
He states that Griggs used his
training to track the location of
his wife and was untruthful
about his actions.
“Jeff Griggs’ credibility has
been compromised as a result of
this event,” Gibson wrote. “Also,
any future appearances in court
will subject Griggs to crossexamination by defense counsel.
His testimony in court could
cause a great risk to major cases
and a huge burden on Jeff
Griggs.”
The legal counsel for both
Tyson and Griggs released a
statement to the Banner early
this morning.
“As I have said before, the
events of Feb. 28, 2015, and following which relate to Dennis
Maddux, Jeff Griggs and Steve
Tyson are truly sad,” said
Cleveland attorney Jim Logan,
counsel for both Griggs and
Tyson. “Mr. Maddux certainly
took a bold stand regarding his
view of the operations at the
Cleveland Police Department.”
Logan referred to Maddux’s
retirement letter which blasted
the Internal Affairs report.
“The Internal Affairs report
that was twisted to fit the internal
machine that has divided the
Cleveland Police Department for
the last eight years will continue
to lead it to failure if not
repaired,” Maddux wrote. “My
failed marriage and my private
life should not be a factor in the
demise of an otherwise flawless
career.”
Maddux also claims the report
was prematurely released to the
press and called the investigation
“subjective, presumptive and
unorthodox.”
The disciplinary action report
on Maddux shows that the CPD
found him to be in violation of
CPD Policies 04-A/LL Subsection
4-HH, Truthfulness, and 11-U
“Domestic Abuse” Subsection 2B
#7 “Mandatory Reporting”.
CPD Public Information Officer
Evie West confirmed this morning
that the department had intended to dismiss Maddux.
“Due to the fact that he filed
his retirement letter prior to the
completion of the disciplinary
action process, City Manager
Janice Casteel accepted his
retirement request,” West told the
Banner.
West added that, according to
the city personnel policy,
“Whenever an employee meets
the conditions set forth in the
retirement systems regulations,
he/she may elect to retire and
receive all benefits earned under
the appropriate retirement system.”
The Banner learned of the
CPD’s plan to dismiss Maddux
via a copy of the city of
Cleveland’s Disciplinary Action
Report against the former police
chief. West forwarded the report
to the Banner this morning, following the newspaper’s earlier
request, shortly after the
announcement of the disciplinary
actions being taken against
Griggs and Tyson.
Tenth District Attorney Steve
Crump, whose office coordinated
the investigation, said this morning he could not comment on the
actions taken by the CPD with
respect to Griggs and Tyson.
He did respond to Maddux’s
assesments of the process, saying
the investigation was “complete
and independent.”
“It was not ‘twisted’ or subjective,” Crump told the Banner.
“Relating to [Maddux’s] conduct,
the investigation was based primarily on his own statements
regarding his conduct. The Office
of the Attorney General conducted the investigation in conjunction with the Cleveland Police
Department with no preconceptions as to the proof or the outcome.”
“The investigation was performed professionally and fairly
toward all involved,” he concluded.
That report and the subsequent disciplinary actions came
as a result of a series of incidents
that involved Griggs, his wife,
Cindy Griggs, and Maddux.
The first incident occurred in
Meigs County, where Griggs was
arrested on a domestic violence
charge.
The arrest came after an incident in Calhoun where Griggs
alleged that he observed his wife
and Maddux kissing.
It was at this point that Griggs
reportedly began taking photos of
the two until his wife tried to grab
the camera in an attempt to
retrieve the memory card, resulting in an alleged physical altercation that ultimately led to Griggs’
arrest.
Bradley County deputies
picked up Griggs the following
day, after he was found in violation of an order of protection that
was issued as a result of the first
arrest. Tyson was present at the
second arrest, along with officer
Shane Clark who was cleared of
any policy violations or legal
charges.
Griggs was eventually cleared
of all criminal charges, as the
domestic violence charge was
thrown out in a McMinn County
Court, and Mrs. Griggs later
dropped the order of protection,
effectively rendering mute the
contempt of court charge that
came as a result.
Both officers still have the right
to appeal the disciplinary decisions, but Logan would not comment on that potential recourse.
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — An
overnight Taliban attack on a
Kabul guesthouse left 14 people
dead, including nine foreigners, in
the most audacious assault by the
insurgents in the Afghan capital
since the start of their spring
offensive, a government official
said Thursday.
The full breakdown of the
nationalities among the nine foreigners was not immediately
known but an American, a British
citizen, an Italian and four Indian
nationals have been confirmed
dead.
Gunmen stormed the restaurant of the Park Palace Hotel in
the Afghan capital as it was hosting a party for foreigners on
Wednesday evening, and authorities said the victims were killed
during an hours-long siege that
ended early Thursday morning.
Of the nine foreigners killed,
seven were men and two were
women, according to the Afghan
official, who spoke on condition of
anonymity because he was not
authorized to talk to the media.
Five Afghans were also among the
dead — four men and one woman
— and seven were wounded,
including one Afghan policeman.
Though the Taliban have staged
similar attacks in the past on
Kabul hotels and guesthouses —
typically extremely well-guarded
locations for the ever-dwindling
number of foreigners living and
working here — the latest assault
was a blow to President Ashraf
Ghani’s government which has
been eager to project a sense of
improvement in the security situation in the capital.
But since the U.S. and NATO
forces formally concluded their
combat mission at the end of last
year, Afghan security forces have
struggled to fend off Taliban
attacks on their own.
The
U.N.
mission
in
Afghanistan condemned the
assault, saying in a statement
Thursday that it was an “atrocity.”
“Taliban statements on avoiding civilian casualties ring hollow
when we set them against the latest killings,” said UNAMA’s
human rights director Georgette
Gagnon.
The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack in an email
distributed to media by their
spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid,
who said the hotel was targeted
because of the presence of foreigners, including Americans
there. In the claim, Mujahid said
only one attacker was involved,
armed with a Kalashnikov rifle, a
suicide vest and a pistol — not
three as the Afghan government
reported. The Taliban often exaggerate their claims.
The Afghan police kept the
hotel cordoned off on Thursday.
Earlier, they said all the attackers
were killed in the shootout with
security troops.
The attack began around 8:30
p.m. local time when the gunmen
opened fire at the hotel restaurant, according to Kabul police
chief Gen. Abdul Rahman
Rahimi.
U.S. Embassy spokeswoman
Monica Cummings said in an
email statement that a U.S. citizen was killed in the attack,
although she had no further
details and did not identify the
victim. Cummings said the U.S.
Embassy was in close contact
with Afghan authorities and was
working to obtain more information.
“Our thoughts are with the
families of the victims,” she said.
India’s Ambassador Amar
Sinha confirmed Thursday that
four Indian nationals were also
among the dead - three men and
a woman. He said they were
among a total of 11 Indians residing at the guesthouse, none of
whom are embassy personnel.
The guesthouse had about 100
residents, he said.
In Rome, the Foreign Ministry
confirmed that one of the dead
was Italian, according to the ANSA
news agency. Foreign Minister
Paolo Gentiloni, in Turkey for a
NATO meeting, identified him as
Sandro Abati. He said he was a
consultant for an agency that
works to promote investment in
Afghanistan, ANSA said.
Also Thursday, the British
Embassy in Kabul issued a statement saying that a dual BritishAfghan national was also killed in
the attack.
Throughout the standoff, sporadic gunfire echoed around the
guesthouse in a central neighborhood that is home to United
Nations compounds and a foreignrun hospital.
At one point, two explosions
could be heard and four ambulances and fire trucks later arrived
at the scene. Police initially freed
some 20 people trapped inside the
guesthouse, but others had
remained inside, according to Zia
Massoud, an Afghan government
official. At least 54 hostages were
rescued in all, according to
Afghan officials.
At the scene, Amin Habib, a
U.S. citizen from Los Angeles, told
the AP that a party was going on
at the hotel to honor a Canadian
when the gunmen stormed the
guesthouse. He said dozens of
people, including foreigners and
U.S. citizens, were inside the hotel
at the time.
Canada’s Foreign Affairs
Spokeswoman Caitlin Workman
said all staff at the Canadian
Embassy in Kabul were “safe and
accounted for.”
The hotel has both guest rooms
for visitors and a residential area
for those who live full time in
Kabul, including foreign aid workers.
In March 2014, the Taliban
stormed the Serena Hotel where
guests had gathered at the restaurant for a buffet dinner to celebrate the Persian New Year. Nine
people in all were shot at close
range and killed in the attack,
which was particularly shocking
because the luxury hotel was long
considered one of the safest places
in Kabul to stay. The dead included four foreigners, an Afghan
businessman and an Afghan journalist, his wife and two of his
three children.
And in January 2014, the
Taliban attacked a popular
Lebanese restaurant in Kabul,
killing 21 people, making it the
deadliest single attack against foreign civilians in the course of a
nearly 13-year U.S.-led war there.
Wednesday’s attack showed how
much the Taliban have been able
to adapt to the tightened security
situation in the Afghan capital,
where smuggling in large amounts
of weaponry has become increasingly difficult, a diplomat said.
“Everyone had been expecting
a big Taliban attack on Kabul to
mark the launch of the spring
offensive, something like a truck
bomb, but that didn’t happen,”
he said, speaking on condition of
anonymity because he was not
authorized to talk to the media.
“So they come with smaller
weapons and firearms.”

an intervention program of the Bradley County Juvenile Court designed to help at-risk youth.

“It takes a lot of power to do
that,” he said.
The school currently has limited air, and students are studying
in the hallways, library and cafeteria ... anywhere air is available.
O’Bryan said special attention
is being paid to special education
students. She added that physical education has been moved
outside.
The Cleveland High principal
went on to say the timing of the
emergency could have been
worse. Seniors who graduated
last Friday, and some of their
teachers, are not on campus.
She said there is some air in
the office, and library, and the
administrative staff has already
made plans for summer school
and summer activities.
Taylor explained that chillers
are large industrial air-condition-
ing systems generally used in
large commercial and high-rise
buildings with little outdoor
space.
The chillers provide cooling by
circulating chilled water through
the building. They use a large
amount of refrigerant and are
compressor systems that operate
in a vacuum when they are in
operation.
Centrifugal chillers are regulated by the Environmental
Protection Agency, and refrigerant leak rates must be recorded
and leaks repaired when substantial.
He said all chillers develop
leaks over time and generally
require a “teardown” with new
seals and gaskets about every 10
years.
Gene Williams of the Trane
Company, who accompanied
Taylor to the meeting, said the
chillers are usually rebuilt
instead of being replaced because
of the difference in cost.
Replacement of the chiller at
Cleveland High would be
$300,000 to $500,000.
Taylor and Williams said
approximately
$5,000
has
already been spent on a replacement breaker and contacts. They
estimate the cost of tearing down
the chiller, and motor rebuild,
will be between $74,038 and
$106,447.
Williams, who will provide much
of the work at cost, believes it will
be closer to the $74,000 figure. He
will also reinsulate the chiller.
Once board members approved
the rebuild request, Williams said
Trane will begin the project
immediately. He anticipates it will
take about a month.
needs to be successful.”
According to Rickardson, ESO
would provide “state-of-the-art”
laptops with a three-year, no
fault warranty.
“It doesn’t matter what happens, it’s part of the package,” he
said. “They are replaced.”
He said the software would
also be provided.
“It provides a lot of accessability for the providers in the field
who will have information at
their fingertips such as history,
allergies. You can scan driver’s
licences,” Rickardson said.
He added for administrators
there are “robust analytics programs” that can be run concerning anything from response times
to skills that have to be performed on calls.
“With just a couple of clicks,
they have a pulse of who is successful and the types of calls they
are running,” he said.
“In doing that, the billing company offers a very aggressive rate
and a very fair price to do that
business,” Rickardson said.
“They believe in bringing the
entire package to you so you
don’t have to worry about replacing laptops or finding software.
We’re just bringing everything to
the table.”
He said AMB has the collection
process “down to a science.”
“They can give you projections
on the current call volume you
run, how many Medicare and
Medicaid patients there are —
and provide what they can bring
through the door for you. That’s
based on surrounding counties
and national averages. Those formulas are very well messaged,
and they can tell you what they
believe they can bring in.”
Rickardson said private information protection goes above
and beyond any HIPPA privacy
laws.
“We work with Homeland
Security and HIPPA has
approved us,” he said.
Mike Birdsong of AMB said the
average contract is for three
years.
“There is no cost for anything
until we begin collections,” he
said. “We would then bill you
probably after the first 30 days.”
The cost to the EMS would be
a percentage of the collections,
usually around 3 to 5 percent.
Lawson said there are other
companies providing the same
service and the committees voted
to recommend to the full
Commission a request for proposal for the service be prepared.
EMS
From Page 1
He said at present the EMS
does its own reports, but they are
not online and have not been
updated in years in terms of
technology.
“We do our own billing and
we’ve been fairly successful,”
Lawson said. “But as the call volume increases, we’re doing a
tremendous amount of work in
the office to keep up with the
changes and the extra work that
is involved with collections
today.”
He called the representatives
who appeared “one of the premiere EMS run-reporting software companies.”
Corey Rickardson of ESO said
it services 1,400 departments in
44 states.
He said the two companies
have been working together in
seven states for several years,
with more than 70 clients.
“There is about a 98 percent
retention rate with those clients.
It’s a very successful model,”
Rickardson said. “The idea is to
give the county everything it

Duke pleads guilty
in federal court for
coal ash crimes
GREENVILLE, N.C. (AP) — Duke
Energy has pleaded guilty in federal court to environmental crimes
and has agreed to pay $102 million in fines and restitution over
years of illegal pollution leaking
from coal-ash dumps at five North
Carolina power plants.
The company’s plea to nine misdemeanor counts involving violations of the Clean Water Act was
part of a negotiated settlement
with federal prosecutors.
Prosecutors say the nation’s
largest
electricity
company
engaged in unlawful dumping at
coal-fired power plants in Eden,
Moncure, Asheville, Goldsboro and
Mt. Holly.
The investigation into Duke
began last February after a pipe
collapsed under a coal ash dump
at the Eden plant, coating 70 miles
of the Dan River in gray sludge.
However, prosecutors said that
Duke’s illegal dumping had been
going back for years, to at least
2010.
LEAF takes place over the
course of six weeks, beginning
June 1 and ending July 10. LEAF
participants are between 12 and
17 years old, and the program
runs five days a week, from 8
a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Youth are sent to the boot
camp by court order only, meaning that once they appear in juvenile court it is up to the judge
whether or not they are sent to
the program, which serves as a
form of alternative sentencing for
youth and helps them avoid probation and time in juvenile lockup.
Bradley County Juvenile Court
youth service officer Nancy
Stanfield oversees LEAF and
spoke about the program,
describing what a typical LEAF
academy looks like. Stanfield
explained that the day begins
with a block of physical training
and the rest is broken into two
academic blocks, in which the
youth work on language arts,
math and life skills.
The PT is rigorous and students must have a physical exam
before they can participate.
“If they can’t pass the medical,
they have to do community service,” Stanfield said.
Stanfield also explained that by
the end of the boot camp, LEAF
cadets are expected to be able to
run two miles in about 24 minutes, among other stringent fitness goals.
“The PT isn’t a joke, it’s very
difficult. It has turned out to be a
great weight-loss program for
some kids. I’ve seen a few lose 20
pounds doing this,” she said.
After PT, the cadets begin their
academic work. Stanfield
explained that reading is a major
and recurring issue at LEAF.
“Academic struggles tend to
lead to behavioral issues. A lot of
these kids can’t read, and instead
of facing embarrassment from it,
they’d rather become the class
clown,” Stanfield said.
Stanfield went on, “I’ve had to
bring in kindergarten and firstgrade level books for these guys
before.”
Stanfield said cadets take an
assessment test so their academic abilities can be gauged, before
they begin intensive study with
certified teachers from both local
school districts.
The purpose of this is bolster
their skills set and have them
better prepared for the next
school year. The cadets also take
another exam at the end of the
program as part of their graduation requirements.
The last part of the day is dedicated to life skills or personal discipline. Emphasis is placed on
goal setting, self-esteem, conflict
resolution, peer mediation, anger
management, substance abuse,
violence prevention and a
law/justice section.
Stanfield said counselors from
the Juvenile Justice Center are
present to help participants work
through whatever emotional and
or psychological issues may be
impeding their progress.
“This is not easy. We start with
60 to 70, but usually only 25
graduate. This is because our
standards are very high,” said
Stanfield.
The high school graduation
rate for students who attend
LEAF is high, a fact Stanfield is
very proud of. Stanfield stated
she could only think of one student who didn’t get a diploma or
a GED.
Stanfield said the gradation
ceremony is a pretty big deal for
the cadets and that community
leaders really show their support
for the youth. Stanfield related
that all of the “brass” from law
enforcement show up, most of
the city officials and various
other community leaders.
“The mayor comes every year;
in fact, he has only missed one
graduation, and that was when
he had a car wreck,” she said.
Stanfield explained that LEAF
is operated under a strict disciplinary atmosphere and if a cadet
cannot follow the rules they will
not make it. Attendance is
mandatory and back talking is
not tolerated.
“We work very hard to instill a
sense of self-discipline in the
kids,” explained Stanfield.
“We tear them down, but in a
good way — so that we can build
them back up again,” Stanfield
said.
“It takes a certain type of person to work with these kids we
work with in the summer. You
have to have your strong side,
but you have to have your caring
side, too,” she said.
Girl Scouts
From Page 1
Greenway we are going to set up a
table [as a] free ice water refill station and [provide] granola bars for
them,” Kimsey said.
Several local businesses have
also partnered to show their support for the anti-bullying campaign.
“Pope’s Martial Arts is going to
be doing two anti-bully classes,
like how to deal with it. They will be
doing one at 11 a.m. and another
at 1 p.m.,” Kimsey said.
Kimsey said she wanted to host
the event with the troop to help the
Scouts, but also because she was
bullied when she was a child.
“Then when I got bigger than
everybody else then I stood up for
the people that were getting bullied. I still got bullied, but not
physically,” Kimsey said. “And my
daughter has been bullied in
school and she is just in elementary school.”
Some of the girls in the troop
have also experienced bullying.
In preparation for the event, Girl
Scouts have made posters and
secured sponsors.
“The day of the event, girls are
going to be helping out with the
crafts and talking to people and
showing off their posters,” Kimsey
said.
Girls Scouts from Bradley
County and Polk County will be
involved.
“Its $2 for a Girl Scout if she
signs up, and that’s just so we can
buy the badge,” Kimsey said.
By attending the event, Girl
Scouts can earn their AntiBullying badge. Volunteering at the
event gets them closer to other
goals.
“We want to educate the public
on what bullying is, how to stop
bullying and how to deal with bullying, if you are being bullied,”
Kimsey said.
In addition to helping the community, Kimsey hopes the event
will keep the Scouts from bullying
others or going along with their
friends’ continually mistreating
others.
“I want them to know how to
deal with it, instead of keeping it
in,” Kimsey said.
The event grew out of Kimsey
realizing how many of the girls had
been affected by bullying.
“Then we started finding out
there were actually parents who
were bullying kids,” Kimsey said.
When parents of the girls in the
troop said they had no idea their
daughter was being bullied,
Kimsey wanted to bring more
awareness to the issue.
She began researching the topic
and “was overwhelmed” at the
number of children struggling with
suicide as a result of bullying.
As a troop leader, Kimsey
encourages the girls in each meeting and encourages those who may
be more introverted to help with
activities.
“The more inward [oriented] they
are, the more susceptible they are,”
Kimsey said.
Kimsey said she also shares stories of how she and others have
overcome bullying.
Girl Scouts are also encouraged
to respect each other’s differences
and have learned that no one likes
to be made fun off.

winner, until the last-minute
announcement.
Urban
felt
Fradiani would win by a very close
vote, while Lopez picked
Beckham.
Each of the two finalists selected a mentor who has meant the
most to them in the progression of
their music.
Beckham selected Pastor Jim
Phillips, Lee University Choir
director, while Fradiani picked a
member of his band.
Both mentors were recognized,
and were then presented with a
new Ford Focus by the Ford Motor
Company. Ford then presented
the two finalists with new vehicles
as well.
Fradiani earns an extensive
recording contract, and will be
heading to Nashville with Idol
mentor Borchetta to get his career
under way.
With his success in this year’s
competition, opportunities will be
numerous for Beckham. Past seasons of “American Idol” have had
runners-up and others move on to
successful careers in music and
acting.
The final five competitors will be
launching the 2015 American Idol
Tour. It opens in Clearwater, Fla.,
and will make stops in 36 cities in
21 states this summer. The tour
will be coming to Nashville, the
latest home for Beckham.
The five tour members are
Fradiani, Beckham, Cole, Rayvon
Owen and Joey Cook.
Other competitors, previously
eliminated, came back to the stage
Wednesday.
Tyanna Jones performed with
the Jacksons, Joey Cook joined
Sister Sledge and later hooked up
with Ethel Smith and Echosmith.
Rayvon Owen played a duet with
Jamie Foxx.
Other entertainers included
Ricky Martin, Adonna and Janelle
Monae, New Kids on the Block,
and Riptide.
Former Idols had words for the
finalists. Kelly Clarkson, winner in
the very first season, said, “I know
about the suspense, but have a
good time with it.” Chris
Daughtry, the winner in season
five, said, “Relax, breathe it in.”
The three judges also got in the
act. Lopez performed with Prince
Royce and Pit Bull. She later was
accompanied by Urban and
Connick.
There were some references
during the evening to next year’s
15th and final series of the nationwide talent search. Fox Network
announced earlier in the week
that it will discontinue the event
after 2016.
Auditions have already begun
for next year’s competition.
Lee University President Dr.
Paul Conn is elated with
Beckham’s success on “Idol.”
"Clark Beckham's success is a
big boost for Lee's name recognition all across the country — not
just because he got all the way to
the runner-up spot, but more
importantly because of the way
he handled himself with such
poise and character.
“It was clear that he knows
who he is, musically and in the
larger issues of life,” Conn continued. “I think he's a great
example of what Lee University
students are overall — great talent combined with great character.”
Conn has already communicated with Beckham.
"I got a personal email from
Clark this morning,” Conn said.
“He was on his way to an early
morning post-finale press interview, and he just emailed me to
say ‘thanks’ for all the support
from Lee. He said he is eager to
get back to campus to see all of
us. It's obvious that Lee is important to Clark, and the feeling is
mutual."
Beckham’s success and exposure will benefit Lee University in
the big picture, the president
believes.
"Yes, of course, we will find
ways to utilize Clark's new fame
to spread the word about Lee
University,” Conn continued.
“When you get a young man so
wholesome, who is so obviously
very high on his alma mater,
singing in front of 11 million people on television week after week,
that has to be a boost for our
image around the country. We
will find ways to make sure
prospective students and their
families make that connection."
Cleveland Mayor Tom
Rowland said this morning he
was
disappointed
with
Wednesday night’s outcome.
“We were pulling hard for
Clark,” he said. “His performance
shows the impact Lee University,
and its students, have on
Cleveland.”
Rowland also pointed out that
Beckham is not the first (Lee student) who has had success on
“American Idol.” He also noted
the recognition of Lee’s music
program and Wednesday’s
involvement of Phillips.
Bradley County Mayor D. Gary
Davis is just as enthused over
the local connection.
“We would like to congratulate
Clark Beckham for representing
not only Lee University, but also
the city of Cleveland and Bradley
County, with class and character
value,” Davis said.
He added, “I’m sure we will see
him on the national stage for
years to come.”

Cleveland Daily Banner—Thursday, May 14, 2015—7
USDA develops label for GMO-free food
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
Agriculture Department has
developed the first government
certification and labeling for
foods that are free of genetically
modified ingredients.
USDA’s move comes as some
consumer groups push for
mandatory labeling of genetically modified organisms, or GMOs.
Certification would be voluntary — and companies would
have to pay for it. If approved,
the foods would be able to carry
a “USDA Process Verified” label
along with a claim that they are
free of GMOs.
Agriculture Secretary Tom
Vilsack outlined the department’s plan in a May 1 letter to
employees, saying the certification was being done at the
request of a “leading global company,” which he did not identify.
A copy of the letter was obtained
by The Associated Press.
Right now, there are no government labels that certify a
food as GMO-free. Many compa-
nies use a private label developed by a nonprofit called the
Non-GMO Project.
Vilsack said the USDA certification is being created through
the department’s Agriculture
Marketing Service, which works
with interested companies to
certify the accuracy of the
claims they are making on food
packages — think “humanely
raised” or “no antibiotics ever.”
Companies pay the Agricultural
Marketing Service to verify a
claim, and if approved they can
market the foods with the USDA
label.
“Recently, a leading global
company asked AMS to help
verify that the corn and soybeans it uses in its products are
not genetically engineered so
that the company could label
the products as such,” Vilsack
wrote in the letter. “AMS worked
with the company to develop
testing and verification processes to verify the non-GE claim.”
A USDA spokesman con-
firmed that Vilsack sent the letter but declined to comment on
the certification program.
Vilsack said in the letter that
the certification “will be
announced soon, and other
companies are already lining up
to take advantage of this service.”
The USDA label is similar to
what is proposed in a GOP
House bill introduced earlier
this year that is designed to
block mandatory GMO labeling
efforts around the country. The
bill, introduced earlier this year
by Rep. Mike Pompeo, R-Kan.,
provides for USDA certification
but would not make it mandatory. The bill also would override
any state laws that require the
labeling.
The food industry, which
backs Pompeo’s bill, has strongly opposed individual state
efforts to require labeling, saying labels would be misleading
because GMOs are safe.
Vermont became the first
state to require the labeling in
2014, and that law will go into
effect next year if it survives a
legal challenge from the food
industry.
Genetically modified seeds
are engineered in laboratories to
have certain traits, like resistance to herbicides. The majority
of the country’s corn and soybean crop is now genetically
modified, with much of that
going to animal feed. GMO corn

ingredients like high-fructose

The FDA says GMOs on the
market now are safe. Consumer
advocates pushing for the labeling say shoppers still have a
right to know what is in their
food, arguing that not enough is
known about the effects of the
technology. They have supported several state efforts to
require labeling, with the eventual goal of having a federal
standard.

Trade deepens rift between Warren and Obama

SEN. ELIZABETH WARREN, D-Mass. applauds as President
Barack Obama makes the thumbs up sign as he arrives to speak at
AARP in Washington on Feb. 23. When Obama huffed that Warren
was a “politician like everybody else” he revealed a rift that predates
the current hostilities between the two Democrats over trade. Though
occasional allies, Warren has been aggravating the Obama administration since her pre-Senate days when she chaired an oversight
panel charged with being a watchdog over the massive federal bank
bailout.
WASHINGTON (AP) — When
President Barack Obama huffed
that Elizabeth Warren, the
Massachusetts senator and established liberal star, was a “politician like everybody else” he
revealed a rift that predates the
current hostilities between the
two Democrats over trade.
Though occasional allies,
Warren has been aggravating the
Obama administration since her
pre-Senate days when she chaired
an oversight panel charged with
being a watchdog over the massive federal bank bailout.
But the dispute over Obama’s
efforts to get trade negotiating
authority from Congress and complete a 12-nation Pacific rim trade
deal goes to the heart of a fundamental divide within the
Democratic Party. It also has
turned the tables in Congress
where Democrats once delighted
in watching Republicans struggle
with their conservative tea party
faction.
Now it’s Republicans who are
amused and making the most of a
Democratic split.
“You’ve got the energy of the
Elizabeth Warren faction kind of
driving
the
agenda”
for
Democrats, Senate Majority
Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.,
said Wednesday on CNBC. “The
Safety technology might have
prevented deadly Amtrak crash
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
deadly Amtrak derailment near
Philadelphia appears to be yet
another accident that didn’t
have to happen.
It could have been avoided if a
long-sought safety technology
had been installed on its tracks
and trains, according to information gathered by accident
investigators.
Seven years ago, Congress
gave Amtrak and freight and
commuter railroads until the
end of this year to install the
technology, called positive train
control, on their trains and
tracks. But few, if any, railroads
are expected to meet the deadline. Now lawmakers are proposing to give railroads another five
to seven years to get the task
done.
The technology uses GPS,
wireless radio and computers to
monitor train position. It can
automatically brake to prevent
derailments due to excessive
speed, collisions with other
trains, trains entering track
where maintenance is being
done or going the wrong way
because of a switching mistake.
It’s all aimed at preventing
human error, which is responsible for about 40 percent of train
accidents.
A preliminary review of the
Amtrak train’s event data
recorder, or “black box,” shows it
was traveling at 106 mph in an
80 mph zone just before it
entered a curve where the speed
limit is 50 mph, National
Transportation Safety Board
member Robert Sumwalt said
Wednesday. The train’s engineer
applied maximum braking
power seconds before the crash,
but it was too late.
“We feel that had such a system been installed in this section of track, this accident would
not have occurred,” Sumwalt
told reporters.
At least seven people were
killed and about 200 injured in
the derailment.
The Philadelphia accident
shares similarities with a 2013
derailment in New York on the
Sunday
morning
after
Thanksgiving. A Metro-North
commuter train derailed in the
Bronx, killing four and injuring
dozens of others. The train’s
engineer had fallen asleep and
failed to slow the train from 82
mph to the maximum authorized
speed of 30 mph as it entered a
curve. An NTSB investigation
concluded that crash would also
have been prevented by positive
train control.
Not counting Tuesday’s derailment, the NTSB has investigated
29 passenger and freight train
accidents that officials say could
have been prevented by positive
train control since 2004. Sixtyeight people died and more than
1,100 were injured in those
crashes. The board has been
urging installation of the technology, or its precursors, for 45
years.
In 2008, a month after a commuter train and a freight train
collided
in
Chatsworth,
California, killing 25 people,
Congress passed a law requiring
that positive train control be
installed by Dec. 31, 2015. But
railroads have long complained
that complications will prevent
them from meeting that deadline.
In March, the Senate
Commerce,
Science
and
Transportation
Committee
approved a bill that would give
railroads until 2020 to install
the technology, and another two
years after that if they need
more time. The Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers and
Trainmen, which opposed the
bill, complained at the time that
some of its provisions would
make it virtually impossible for
federal regulators to ever force
freight railroads to implement
the technology.
At least three of the bill’s key
sponsors — Sens. John Thune,
R-S.D., Roy Blunt, R-Mo., and
Claire McCaskill, D-Mo. — have
each received more than
$100,000 in contributions to
their campaigns and political
committees from the rail industry over the course of their
careers in Congress, according
to the political money-tracking
website OpenSecrets.org.
The three senators said in
statements or through their
aides that reports by govern-
ment agencies show railroads
need more time. One of the hurdles is getting all the railroads to
agree on systems that will work
on everyone’s tracks despite differing policies and operations.
Such interoperability is necessary because freight railroads
frequently operate on each
other’s tracks. Commuter railroads and Amtrak also often
operate on freight rail tracks.
Amtrak has been one of the
more aggressive railroads in
installing the technology. Three
years ago, Amtrak announced it
expected to finish installing positive train control throughout its
busy Northeast Corridor by the
end of 2012. While positive train
control is in operation in much
of the corridor between New York
and Boston and on some other
Amtrak lines in the Midwest,
other portions still lack the technology. Amtrak officials didn’t
reply to questions from The
Associated Press about why the
technology hadn’t been installed
on the Philadelphia tracks where
the derailment took place.
“For decades we have seen
preventable derailments and collisions occur,” said former NTSB
Chairman
Deborah
A.P.
Hersman. “If we do not implement technology such as PTC to
prevent these events, we will
continue to see them for the
foreseeable future.”
Sen. Richard Blumenthal, DConn., a commerce committee
member who voted against the
bill, blamed the Federal Railroad
Administration in part for not
leaning hard enough on railroads over the past seven years
to get the job done.
“There is more evidence than
ever that it is irresponsible and
reprehensible to grant so long
an extension,” Blumenthal said.
One of the obstacles is the
cost to industry of implementing
positive train control, estimated
in the billions of dollars. A
Republican-controlled House
panel approved deep spending
cuts to Amtrak’s budget on
Wednesday just hours after the
Philadelphia
accident.
An
attempt by Democratic lawmakers to boost Amtrak spending by
$1 billion was rebuffed.
biggest divisions these days are
not among Republicans but
among Democrats.”
Obama’s request for negotiating
authority got back on track
Wednesday after an embarrassing
procedural loss Tuesday when
only one Democrat voted with the
president on a motion to begin
debate on trade, even though
about a dozen support his overall
goal.
Democrats have long been suspicious of trade deals, blaming
them for job losses and lax
enforcement. Warren and her
allies have dug further, building
on those concerns to make a case
that Obama is negotiating an
agreement that is secret from the
public, places U.S. sovereignty at
risk and could roll back U.S.
financial regulations.
“She’s absolutely wrong,”
Obama said in an interview with
Yahoo! that aired over the weekend. “Elizabeth is a politician like
everybody else and she has a voice
that she wants to get out there.”
That remark prompted Sen.
Sherrod Brown, an Ohio
Democrat who has been among
Warren’s top allies on the trade
issue, to rebuke the president for
being “disrespectful.”
“I think that the president has
made this more personal than he
needed to,” Brown said.
While the Obama-Warren spat
highlights the deep Democratic
split over trade, the party has
healed in the past after major
trade fights. Mitch Stewart, who
was a senior adviser to Obama’s
2008 and 2012 campaigns and
now is a consultant for a protrade advocacy group, downplayed the long-term impact of the
Obama-Warren contretemps, predicting that the relationship can
survive the disagreement.
This dispute, however, comes at
an awkward time for Hillary
Rodham Clinton, who as Obama’s
secretary of State once called the
Trans-Pacific negotiations the
“gold standard” for fair trade.
Now, as a presidential candidate
who feels the pressure of Warren’s
national prominence, she is
sounding more skeptical amid
calls for her to take a firmer
stance. The lack of her endorsement has been conspicuous.
A former Harvard professor,
Warren
burst
onto
the
Washington scene after the 2008
financial crisis as a vigorous advocate for consumer financial protections. She became the chair of
a bipartisan Congressional
Oversight Panel that kept tabs on
the Troubled Asset Relief
Program, the taxpayer-financed
fund that helped financial institutions out of the crisis.
Then-Treasury Secretary Tim
Geithner bristled at her critiques,
calling them “mostly unjustified.”
“Her TARP oversight hearings
often felt more like made-forYouTube inquisitions than serious
inquiries,” Geithner writes in his
book “Stress Test.” ‘’She was worried about the right things, but
she was better at impugning our
choices — as well as our integrity
and our competence — than identifying any feasible alternatives.”
More recently, Warren infuriated the White House by objecting
to Obama’s nomination last year
of Antonio Weiss, a Lazard investment banker, to be the third-ranking official at Treasury. Warren
argued that he was too close to
Wall Street to hold a high post at
Treasury. Weiss dropped out of
contention for the post and
Obama appointed him to serve as
a counselor to Treasury Secretary
Jack Lew, a post that does not
require Senate confirmation.
The arrangement was not unfamiliar to Warren. She herself did
not have Senate votes in 2010 to
be confirmed as head of a new
Consumer Financial Protection
Bureau, so Obama appointed her
a special presidential adviser to
work with Geithner at Treasury
on an interim basis.
A year later, with the help of
then-Obama senior adviser Pete
Rouse, Warren embarked on her
2012 Senate race. Obama campaigned for her.
Bill Cosby to advocate
for education in Ala.
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) —
Embattled actor and comedian
Bill Cosby will visit Alabama on
Thursday and Friday for events
aimed at highlighting schools in
one of the poorest areas of the
state.
Cosby, whose record of educational philanthropy has been
overshadowed in recent months
by sexual assault allegations
from more than 25 women and
two pending lawsuits, will speak
in several cities across Alabama’s
rural Black Belt. The region is
named for its fertile black soil but
stifled by low income and high
unemployment.
Cosby will speak with high
school students as part of the
nonprofit Black Belt Community
Foundation’s new campaign to
improve education in the southcentral part of the state.
Foundation president Felecia
Lucky said Cosby is volunteering
his time to bring exposure to
schools in the area.

The Vampire Diaries
Whatever transpires for Elena in the sixthseason finale, “I’m Thinking of You All the
While,” it’s destined to be definitive: This
is founding cast member Nina Dobrev’s
last episode. Her character is imperiled by
a surprise guest at the wedding of Alaric
and Jo (Matt Davis, guest star Jodi Lyn
O’Keefe). Instead of leaving town, Bonnie
(Kat Graham) decides to stand and deliver.
Stefan and Caroline (Paul Wesley, Candice
Accola) reach a critical point.
8 p.m. on (WTVC)
Grey’s Anatomy
The drama’s 11th-season finale, “You’re
My Home,” continues the stories from the
previous episode that were set in motion by
a tragedy that struck Seattle. The doctors
continue to try to hold their emotions — already raw from the personal loss they suffered recently — in check as they deal with
the patients they still have to tend to. Ellen
Pompeo, James Pickens Jr., Kevin McKidd,
Sara Ramirez, Jessica Capshaw, Sarah
Drew and Caterina Scorsone star.
9 p.m. on (WRCB)
The Blacklist
As the drama’s second season ends with
“Masha Rostova,” Liz (Megan Boone)
finds herself at the center of a frame-up
engineered by The Cabal, prompting Red
(James Spader) to draw upon all of his
resources — and sources — to clear her.
News delivered to Cooper (Harry Lennix)
leads the task force to wonder who among
them is still an ally ... and who definitely
isn’t. Diego Klattenhoff, Mozhan Marno,
Amir Arison and Ryan Eggold also star.
9 p.m. on (WTVC)
Scandal
Command is in the sights of Olivia (Kerry
Washington) and company as the drama’s
fourth season concludes with the rather
ironically titled “You Can’t Take Command.”
That’s just what Olivia intends to do, which
isn’t to say the effort won’t be fraught with
peril. The election results come in, determining what Mellie’s (Bellamy Young)
future will — or won’t — be. Series creator
Shonda Rhimes co-wrote the story. Tony
Goldwyn and Jeff Perry also star.
9 p.m. on (WDSI)
Wayward Pines
A seemingly tranquil Idaho town cloaks
darker elements — almost — in a new series based on Blake Crouch’s novels and
executive-produced by M. Night Shyamalan
(“The Sixth Sense”), who also directed the
premiere, “Where Paradise Is Home.” Matt
Dillon plays a Secret Service agent whose
search for missing federal agents bothers
the overprotective sheriff (Terrence Howard,
“Empire”). Oscar winner Melissa Leo, Carla
Gugino and Juliette Lewis also star.

Kayakers prepare to meet Shell’s oil drill rig in Seattle
SEATTLE (AP) — Protesters
opposed to Arctic oil drilling are
preparing to paddle out in
kayaks to meet Shell’s massive
offshore drilling rig as it arrives
any day now in Seattle, raising
the stakes in the battle over oil
exploration in the remote Arctic
Ocean.
The petroleum giant says it is
moving ahead with plans to use
leased space at the Port of
Seattle to load its drilling rigs
and other vessels with supplies
and personnel as it prepares to
explore for oil this summer in
the Chukchi Sea off Alaska’s
northwest coast.
That’s despite the city saying
the Port of Seattle needs a new
permit before it can host Shell’s
Arctic drilling fleet and the city
warning that the port and Foss
Maritime, a local company
that’s working with Shell, could
potentially face fines for unpermitted activity.
One of the drill rigs it plans to
use — the 400-foot long Polar
Pioneer — has been parked at
Port Angeles on the Olympic
Peninsula, and is expected in
Seattle this week.
John Sellers, 48, who works
with an advocacy group on economic justice issues, paddled
out to meet the Polar Pioneer
when it arrived in Port Angeles
and now hopes to do the same
when it arrives in Seattle’s
Elliott Bay.
“It’s the perfect tactic to paddle out and meet the rigs on the
water,” he said. “The rigs are on
the water, that’s where they do
their business, that’s where
they’re doing their damage.”
He said he wants to push for
change toward a clean-energy
future that moves away from
fossil fuels.
Environmentalists are planning a three-day so-called “festival of resistance” starting
Saturday. Smaller groups of
experienced kayakers have also
been training to confront the
rigs when they arrive in Elliott
Bay, though many said they
plan to observe safety zones that
the Coast Guard has set up
around the ships.
“There’s a sense of gravitas
around this moment,” said Bill
Moyer, who has been helping
train protesters in paddling
techniques and kayak safety for
the demonstration scheduled for
Saturday dubbed the “Paddle in
Seattle.”
“It’s hard to see where normal
people can have an impact on
something as vast and seemingly distant as climate and the
Arctic,” said Moyer, executive
director of the Backbone
Campaign.
“So this moment is historic
opportunity for regular people to
demonstrate their desire for a
pivot away from fossil fuels,” he
said of Saturday’s protest.
Shell’s drilling program
cleared a major bureaucratic
hurdle Monday when the federal
Bureau of Ocean Energy
Management approved its multiyear exploration plan in the
Chukchi Sea. The company
must still obtain other permits
from state and federal agencies,
including one to drill from the
Bureau
of
Safety
and
Environmental Enforcement.
But Shell spokesman Curtis
Smith has said the approval “is

House GOP approves cuts to
Amtrak budget despite crash
WASHINGTON (AP) — A
Republican-controlled
House
panel on Wednesday approved
deep spending cuts to Amtrak’s
budget just hours after a deadly
crash in Philadelphia.
The Appropriations Committee
backed a $55 billion transportation and housing measure after
rejecting Democratic attempts to
boost spending on Amtrak by
more than $1 billion, including
$556 million targeted for the railroad’s Northeast corridor, site of
the derailment. The vote was 3021 along party lines.
The GOP bill would cut
Amtrak’s budget by $251 million,
to $1.1 billion, for the upcoming
fiscal year.
“Every day, tens of thousands
of passengers travel our nation’s
railways on Amtrak — a majority
of those along the Northeast
Corridor where yesterday’s tragic
accident occurred,” said Rep.
Chaka Fattah, who represents
Philadelphia. “These riders
deserve safe, secure, and modern
infrastructure.”
President Barack Obama
asked for almost $2.5 billion for
Amtrak in his February budget,
much more than he’d requested
in previous years. Obama’s proposed boost is mostly dedicated
to capital investment in track,
tunnels and bridges and includes
$400 million in grants for capital
construction along Amtrak’s
Northeast corridor.
There were early indications
that Tuesday night’s tragedy may
have been due to excessive
speed. An Associated Press
analysis of a surveillance tape
found that the train was going
about 107 MPH as it approached
a curve where the speed limit
less than half that.
“We must pass a multi-year
transportation funding bill that
increases — not decreases — federal investment in highway, transit and rail programs before other
disaster occurs,” said Rep. Dutch
Ruppersberger, D-Md.
The vote came as Congress
stares down a deadline in 18
days to reauthorize legislation to
pay for highways and transit programs.
Amtrak is one of many flash
points in the underlying measure, which Democrats say shortchanges important programs for
the poor and contains giveaways
to the trucking industry.
In recent years, cuts by House
Republicans have been restored
in House-Senate negotiations,
but the railroad’s budget has
remained generally flat.
Fattah’s $1.3 billion amendment to fully fund Obama’s
Amtrak request failed along party
lines after Republicans pointed
out that it would have broken
budget limits and left the bill vulnerable to procedural challenges.
Top panel Democrat Nita
Lowey of New York said the
measure undercuts important
accounts, including those dedicated to transportation safety
and capital construction. Lowey
said the bill “drastically shortchanges job-creating investments critical to hardworking
American families, like roads,
bridges, and rail systems and
access to safe and affordable
housing.”
But Chairman Harold Rogers
of Kentucky said majority
Republicans are hamstrung by
automatic spending cuts known
as sequestration that are forcing
a freeze in the operating budgets
of domestic agencies funded by
lawmakers each year. These cuts
are the result of a hard-fought
2011 budget deal between
Obama and Republicans and are
more punishing than originally
intended because Congress has
yet to find substitute cuts or revenues to replace them.
“We have no choice but to
abide by the law,” Rogers said.
The White House and
Democrats are pushing to boost
domestic programs and insist
that they’ll thwart GOP efforts to
increase the Pentagon’s budget if
domestic agencies aren’t given
comparable relief. Republicans
have padded war accounts —
which are exempt from spending
limits — to add to the Pentagon’s
budget by $38 billion, a 7 percent
increase that matches Obama’s
overall request.
The measure is the largest of
12 spending bills considered so
far by the GOP-controlled House
and includes cuts to an almost
$2 billion account for rehabilitating public housing and grants to
states and local governments for
housing for the poor. In a letter
delivered Monday, the White
House reminded lawmakers of
recent rioting in Baltimore’s
poorest neighborhoods and said
the measure would hurt efforts
to end homelessness and hurt
families.
But the White House didn’t
specifically object to the Amtrak
cuts in the letter, sent by Office
of Management and Budget
Director Shaun Donovan.
On Wednesday White House
Press Secretary Josh Earnest
wasn’t pointing fingers about the
accident, though he said more
Amtrak funding would “benefit
the traveling public and be good
for our economy.”
Agency inquiring on student loan services
WASHINGTON (AP) — Do companies that service student loans
make more money when they provide less service? The federal government’s consumer watchdog
wants to see what changes can be
made to help the 40 million people
with student loan debt save
money and avoid default.
The Consumer Financial
Protection Bureau is opening a
public inquiry Thursday into student loan servicing practices that
it says can make paying back
loans “stressful or harmful.”
Private and federal student loan
debt totals more than $1.2 trillion.
Loans are often not serviced by
lenders but by a company that
processes monthly payments,
assists borrowers with repayment
options if they lose their jobs, and
performs other tasks. Such service companies — among them are
Navient, Nelnet and American
Education Services — typically get
a flat monthly fee per account.
“Student loan servicers often
make more money when they
spend as little time as possible on
each account, and they typically
get paid more when a borrower is
in repayment longer,” Richard
Cordray, the director of the
agency, says in remarks prepared
for delivery at a hearing Thursday
in Milwaukee. “So we are evaluating whether the typical methods
of servicer compensation can
jeopardize the interests of borrowers.”
Richard Hunt, the president
and CEO of the Consumer
Bankers Association, says his
organization is looking forward to
learning more about the effort. He
says its member banks are “100
percent committed to student
success and are regularly working
to ensure their borrowers are
aware of all options available to
them.”
Borrowers aren’t necessarily
being told about repayment plans
that could keep them from
defaulting, the federal agency
says. Its ombudsman, Rohit
Chopra, says there are about 8
million student loan borrowers in
default, and a large number of
them could have avoided default if
they had enrolled in more affordable repayment plans.
“Adequate student loan servicing can mean the difference
between getting by and going
broke, and too many borrowers
feel they don’t always know how to
navigate a complex and confusing
industry,” Chopra says.
The federal agency, which has
oversight for the student loan
industry, has other concerns. It
says there have been consumer
complaints such as servicers taking too long to process payments,
losing paperwork, not fixing errors
in a timely fashion, or not correctly handling pre-payment of loans.
There have been changes in
recent years to address the quality
in servicing of credit card and
home mortgage loans. The agency
is looking at how those industries
are regulated and whether their
regulations might be applicable to
student loans.
The public has until July 13 to
comment.
Coalition to push lawmakers
to fund Tennessee roads
NASHVILLE (AP) — Raising
taxes is never popular, but a new
coalition says the lack of funding
for Tennessee’s roads and bridges
has reached a crisis point requiring action.
Tennessee has more than $8
billion in unfunded transportation needs, thanks to a gas tax
that has remained unchanged
from 21.4 cents per gallon since
1989,
the
Transportation
Coalition of Tennessee noted
Wednesday.
The coalition said it intends to
push lawmakers to find a permanent transportation funding solution by 2016 — though the coalition isn’t saying at this point how
it thinks that should be done.
A state comptroller’s report
from January warned the gas tax
is no longer sufficient to maintain
existing infrastructure and meet
long-term needs. Gov. Bill
Haslam acknowledged the problem earlier this year but said he
wanted a year to develop a comprehensive plan.
Coalition member Bill Moore is
also chairman of the Tennessee
Infrastructure Alliance and a former chief engineer for TDOT. He
said there are hundreds of state
projects in need of funding. That
doesn’t include all of the city and
county projects that rely on the
same depleted funding poll.
The coalition’s Susie Alcorn is
the executive director at the
Tennessee
Infrastructure
Alliance.
Tuesday, in Seattle. The lease would allow the Shell Oil Company to base equipment in Seattle that is
used to drill for oil off the coast of Alaska.

Rookie righty baffles Braves in 2-hit Reds’ win
AP photo
ATlANTA bRAvES starting
pitcher Eric Stults makes a pitch
in the second inning Wednesday
against the Cincinnati Reds, in
Cincinnati.
CINCINNATI (AP) — Reds rookie Raisel
Iglesias may have pitched his way on to
the Reds’ roster.
The 25-year-old Cuba native tossed
eight innings of two-hit baseball in his
second career start and Todd Frazier
connected for his 12th home run of the
season, leading Cincinnati to a 5-1 win
over the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday.
He possibly earned a spot on the staff if
not the rotation.
“There is a scenario that he can stay
with us,” manager Bryan Price said after
the game. “He has a better understanding of where he needs to go with his
pitches than most pitchers his age.”
Iglesias and Michael Lorenzen have
both made their debuts in the early
going. Either can work out of the bullpen
when not starting.
Marlon Byrd added a solo homer, his
seventh of the season and fifth in his last
10 games. The Reds won the rubber
match of the three-game series and
seven-game season series between the
teams.
The Braves have lost five of their last
six.
Iglesias (1-0) was recalled from TripleA Louisville before the game. He took a
no-hitter into the sixth inning. Pinch-hitter Eric Young Jr. broke it up with a leadoff bloop single to shallow center field.
Another pinch-hitter, Pedro Ciriaco,
became the first batter to get past second
base when he led off the eighth with a
triple and scored on Nick Markasis’
groundout.
Iglesias, who left with no decision in
his debut on April 12 against St. Louis,
allowed three walks and struck out five.
“It is a great achievement for a baseball player to get a win over a great team
like the Atlanta Braves,” Iglesias said
through interpreter Tomas Vera. “The
emotions were the same as my first start
but I had the confidence to go deeper in
the game from what I worked on in Triple
A. I have a personal rule. I have eight
players on my side and only one against
me. I wasn’t thinking about a no-hitter. I
was thinking about them putting the ball
in play so I could pitch longer and save
the bullpen.”
The Braves had two runners on base in
one inning just once. Iglesias threw 103
pitches, 74 for strikes. He acknowledged
the applause of the crowd of 17,747 by
waving his cap as he walked into the
dugout after the eighth inning.
“He (Iglesias) kind of reminded me of El
Duque with that high leg kick and different arm angles,” said Atlanta manager
Fredi Gonzalez, who is also a native of
Cuba. “We only had him on the ropes
once and he got out of it.”
Joey Votto followed Zack Cozart’s firstinning double with a run-scoring line
drive up the middle that glanced off of
Atlanta starter Eric Stults’ glove on its
way to center field.
That run was the first allowed by
Stults (1-4) in the first inning in six
starts this season.
Byrd led off the second with a 343-foot
homer into the first row of the left field
seats. Frazier made it 4-0 in third with
his second homer in as many nights, a
432-foot shot to center field that tied
Washington’s Bryce Harper for the
National League lead. Billy Hamilton
tripled and scored on Cozart’s sacrifice
fly in the fifth.
Stults (1-4) allowed six hits and five
runs with one walk and three strikeouts
over five innings. He’s lost his last three

Flames 1 win from
Mid-East crown
From LEE SPORTS INFORMATION
Superb base running and solid
defense usually helps produce a
victory in the game of baseball.
Toss in a few walks and costly
errors by the opponent and you
can picture why Lee was able to
advance to within one win of the
NCCAA Mid-East Region championship on Wednesday afternoon. The Flames, playing host to the
regional event, sent 11 batters to
the plate and scored five runs in
the fifth inning in posting a 7-3
victory over Bluefield College. Lee
will sit back and wait for one of
the teams in the loser's bracket to
bounce back and earn another
shot at the Flames on Thursday
at 5 p.m.
Bluefield scored two runs in
the top of the first inning on a
single, an error and a two-run
double by Sawyer McLamb. At the
same time, Lee pitching ace
Dustin Lawson was battling to
keep his team close until the bats
came alive.
In the fifth inning Siosi Poti got
the five-run rally started when he
was hit by a pitch. Andres Nelo
followed with a walk and Ben
Holland delivered an RBI single.
Luke Toms reached on an error
and MJ Brown followed with an
RBI on a one-base knock.
Coach Mark Brew described
the next play as a key to Lee's victory. A safety squeeze was perfectly executed by Nate Weirzgac
that scored Toms.
"We knew Nate was a good
bunter and the situation set up
perfectly for the squeeze," said
Brew. "We really were not taking
that big of a chance. If Nate doesn't get the bunt down, we still
have a runner on third."
Not only was the bunt executed
to perfection, Weirzgac was credited with a single and an RBI on
the play. Cameron Scott followed
with a single that scored Brown

lEE SOPHOMORE CATCHER Nate Weirzgac puts the tag on a
Bluefield College Rams runner at the plate in NCCAA Mid-East
Region tournament action Wednesday, at Olympic Field.
OOLTEWAH — After a strong outing to
qualify for its first Region 3-AAA softball
championship game since 2009, Walker
Valley ran into a buzz saw in Ooltewah on
Wednesday evening.
Winners of seven straight since falling to
the Lady Mustangs in the second round of
the District 5-AAA Tournament, the Lady
Owls scored all but one of their runs with
two-out rallies in a convincing 9-1 victory to
claim their first region crown since 2008.
They went on to win the state title as well
that season.
Wednesday was the first of a half dozen
meetings between the District 5-AAA rivals
that was decided by more than three runs
as Ooltewah (37-8) pounded out six doubles
in its 13 hits, scoring in four of the first five
frames. The Lady Owls have put 63 runs on
the board since losing to the Lady Mustangs
12 days ago.
“Obviously, I am very proud of the girls
(Lady Mustangs) for making it to this point,”
declared Walker Valley head coach Lauren
Limburg. “The game didn’t unfold as we had
hoped.
“Ooltewah is a great team and played an
excellent ballgame, but ultimately we have
to play better,” she added. “We just have to
be better. We have to have better at bats and
play more solid defense.”
The next challenge for the Lady Mustangs
(25-10) will come Friday as they travel to
Murfreesboro to face Region 4-AAA champ
Siegel (33-5) in the TSSAA Sectional playoffs, with a state tournament bid on the
line. Behind a 19 strikeout performance
from Veronica Westfall, the Lady Stars outlasted Coffee County 3-1 in a 12-inning, 3
1/2 hour marathon Wednesday evening. Coffee County (30-6) will come to
Ooltewah Friday evening looking for a
return trip to the Spring Fling.
After a trio of three-run wins and a pair of
one-run losses to Walker Valley this season,
the Lady Owls jumped out early in the
region title contest, scoring three times in
their opening frame. Speedy Tiara Lemon led off the attack
with a double and advanced to third on a
Lady Mustang miscue. She scored a
moment later when Shelby Sutton blistered
a shot too hot to handle for an infield hit.

HARRISON — for the second year in a row,
Chattanooga Central thwarted Polk County’s hopes
of becoming the Region 3-AA champion.
Wednesday’s game had some stark differences
from last year’s 10-inning, 5-4 loss though, as the
Lady Wildcats (20-8) fell to the Lady Pounders (19-14)
5-2 in seven innings.
Polk County coach Bill Triplett lamented that “365
days ago we made the same speech, and had ample
opportunities to win the game. What they have to figure out is, are they just that much better or did we
choke? Did we swing at bad pitches and speed the
game up when we should have slowed it down? It’s a
broken record,” he said. “I told them that they have to figure out if the game
is too good for them, or if they just can’t handle it —
that’s the way athletics is. You have to figure out
what kind of cloth you are cut from.”
The region runners up were struck out a total of 16
times by Central pitcher Brooke Parrott.
“Give the girl credit, she’s a good pitcher,” Triplett
stated.
The Lady Wildcats put up a run in the top of the
first inning, thanks to a double by Hannah Triplett
that sent Aubrie Bowman home. The Lady Pounders
followed that up with a run of their own, which came
from a solo homerun by Alexis Grampp.

Johnson throws caution to wind at Kansas
KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) —
The image Jimmie Johnson has
cultivated over the years is of a
clean-cut, corporate pitchman,
almost the antithesis of the
“good ‘ol boy” drivers from
NASCAR’s colorful past.
His conservative driving style
has delivered six championships, one behind Richard
Petty and Dale Earnhardt for
most in Sprint Cup history.
Johnson’s No. 48 Chevrolet is
seemingly always in contention,
whether he’s running at
Talladega or Bristol or somewhere in between.
That’s what made his radio
chatter Saturday night raise
some eyebrows.
While the rest of the leaders
decided to pit in the closing laps
at Kansas Speedway, all of them
running low on fuel, Johnson
threw caution to the wind. He
told crew chief Chad Knaus that
he was going to stay on the
track, gambling that he would
be able to hold off hard-charging
Kevin Harvick and the rest of the
field — and have enough gas to
make it to the finish line.
He would either win or lose,
spectacularly.
“Usually Chad gives me some
indication early in Turn 3 what
he’s going to do, and he really
didn’t say much, so I knew he
was thinking hard. And I could
see most guys were favoring
down and trying to find their
way to the apron,” Johnson
said. “He asked me what I wanted to do and it just dawned on
me: We’ve won two races, we’re
locked in the Chase, points don’t
matter.
“It’s all about wins,” Johnson
said. “I said, ‘Man, I feel like
gambling.’”
It turned out to be the right
call, too. Harvick ran out of time
trying to chase Johnson down,
and the sport’s most dominant
driver coasted on fumes to his
third win of the season.
With a newfound cavalier attitude, Johnson could earn a
whole lot more.
That’s because in the past
NASCAR, rewarded consistency
over brilliance. That was never
more evident than in 2003,
when Matt Kenseth won the
championship with 25 top-10
finishes but despite winning one
race. Ryan Newman won eight
times but failed to finish six
other races.
Then came the Chase, which
made accumulating points a little less important. So long as
you had enough to qualify for
NASCAR’s version of the playoffs, you could take a few risks.
Then before last season, the
rules changed again to essentially guarantee drivers that won
a race a spot in the Chase.
Suddenly, Johnson and others
could take a far different
approach on a week-by-week
basis. Whereas Johnson may
have pitted at Kansas and been
content with a top-five finish
and the points that came with it,
winning became all that mattered.
“It was just kind of a gut feeling, and a split-second decision,” Johnson explained, “that
we peeled right and pretty much
everybody else went left.”
The only way Johnson was
going to reach victory lane
Saturday night was to stay on
the track. Harvick had the better
car, and Martin Truex Jr. and
others were just as fast.
“We knew that we were going
to need to have probably four or
five guys at the minimum stay
out for us to have any shot at
pulling it off,” Knaus said. “We
were tossing back and forth
what we should do, and I didn’t
want to say too much until the
very last moment, and when I
threw it out there to Jimmie and
he said, ‘Well, let’s gamble,’ I
was like, ‘That’s easy. It’s done.’”
One of the best drivers in
NASCAR history taking on a gofor-broke attitude?
That could make the rest of
the “regular season” interesting.

JIMMIE JOHNSON holds the
trophy for winning the
SpongeBob SquarePants 400
at Kansas Speedway in Kansas
City, Kan., Saturday.
Johnson is among the
favorites heading into Saturday
night’s All-Star race at
Charlotte, which he’s won four
times already. After that comes
the Coca-Cola 600, which
Johnson won for the fourth time
last year by passing Harvick late
in the race.
In other words, the No. 4 car
may be the fastest just about
every week, and Harvick may be
the defending series champion
and current points leader. But
the No. 48 car is still plenty fast,
and now Johnson is willing to
take some risks to get to the
front.
“We’re finding ways to win
races, but I just think they have
a bit more control of their own
destiny right now,” Johnson
said. “We’re getting better. We’re
closing the gap a little bit each
week. I think over the off-season
we made a tremendous improvement and closed the gap. But
we’ve still got a little bit of work
to do.”
Darlington’s wait: ‘Lady in Black’
prepping for a Labor Day return
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) —
Darlington Raceway president
Chip Wile acknowledged that
he gets antsy at times watching
tracks host two, three or four
Sprint Cup races since the last
time NASCAR showed up at his
place.
The payoff this Labor Day,
Wile says, is well worth the
wait.
The “Lady in Black” has gone
without NASCAR’s stars since
April 2014 when Kevin Harvick
took the checkered flag. The
circuit will return in September
when the Southern 500
reclaims its once sacrosanct
holiday weekend.
NASCAR shook up the schedule last fall, moving Darlington
from a spring slot it held the
previous 10 years back to
Labor Day, where the race
became one of the season’s
crown jewels between 1950 and
2003.
The layoff of more than 16
months is unusual, Wile said.
Some tracks, like Michigan and
Pocono, will have hosted four
Sprint Cup weekends since
NASCAR last ran at Darlington.
“I don’t want to say it’s
tough,” he said. “We’ve kept
ourselves busy.”
The free time has given
Darlington’s staff that chance
to put on a celebration of the
sport’s history, Wile said.
Harvick and other StewartHaas Racing teams have
already announced throwback
paint schemes to honor
Darlington’s return to Labor
Day. Food stands will offer old
favorites like pimento cheese
sandwiches, fried green tomatoes and sausage perlo, a
sausage and rice dish.
The 1.366-mile egg-shaped
oval has recently hosted a
marathon,
several
movie
nights, blood drives and, this
past weekend, held a concert to
benefit
the
Darlington
Education Foundation.
“Those are the things, at the
end of the day, that don’t generate a lot of attention, but
align us with the community,”
Wile said.

Horford’s late follow gives
Hawks win over Wizards
ATLANTA (AP) — With their
magical season on the brink, the
Atlanta Hawks needed someone
to come up big.
Al Horford wasn’t supposed to
be the guy.
He would not be denied.
The Hawks center swooped in
to snatch an offensive rebound
and dropped in a shot from right
under the basket with 1.9 seconds remaining, giving top-seeded Atlanta an 82-81 victory over
the Washington Wizards on
Wednesday night and a 3-2 lead
in the Eastern Conference semifinals.
“I wasn’t supposed to be
involved in the play at all,”
Horford said. “When I saw the
ball go up, I just ran in there.”
In a game of back-and-forth
runs, the Hawks went more
than 7 minutes in the fourth
quarter without making a basket, then ripped off 14 straight
points to take the lead. Atlanta
went cold again, and it looked as
though Paul Pierce had doomed
Atlanta for the second time in
the series. Having already made
a buzzer-beating winner in
Game 3, he got open in the corner and swished a 3-pointer
with 8.3 seconds left, putting
the Wizards up 81-80.
Pierce taunted the Hawks
bench and home crowd on his
way back down the court before
bowling over John Wall, who
was playing for the first time
since Game 1 after fracturing
several bones in his left hand.
Wall didn’t mind, throwing up
his hands in celebration. The
Wizards were on the verge of
heading home with a chance to
wrap up the series.
Atlanta had one more chance.
The Hawks gave the ball to
backup point guard Dennis
Schroder, who ignited a fourthquarter rally and stayed in the
game at the suggestion of AllStar Jeff Teague, who watched
the closing minutes from the
bench.
Schroder drove down the lane
and put up a shot, which was
swatted off the backboard by
Wall. But Horford yanked the
ball away from Nene, who tumbled to the court, leaving the
Hawks center all alone under
the basket. Horford, who had 23
points and 11 rebounds, put it
the easy shot on a night when
both teams struggled offensively.
“A heck of a play by Al,”
Atlanta coach Mike Budenholzer
said.
The Wizards threw up a wild
shot from halfcourt that didn’t
come close as the horn sounded.
The sellout crowd nearly
stormed the court, held back by
security while the Hawks cele-
brated. Horford screamed and
pumped his fists, having put the
Hawks one victory away from
advancing to the third round of
the playoffs for the first time
since the team moved to Atlanta
from St. Louis in 1968.
About 10 minutes after the
Wizards lost, there was more
heartbreak for D.C. sports fans.
The Capitals were eliminated
from the NHL playoffs with a
Game 7 overtime loss to the New
York Rangers.
At least the Wizards still have
a chance. Game 6 is Friday
night in Washington.
“Hey, these guys are fighting. I
love it,” Washington coach
Randy Wittman said. “They
made one more play than us.”
Wall’s return was the major
storyline before the game. The
Wizards star fractured several
bones in his left hand in the
series opener and missed the
next three games. He was
announced as the starter about
20 minutes before tipoff and
wound up with 15 points, seven
assists and four steals.
Bradley Beal led the Wizards
with 23 points.
Kyle Korver had a tough night
for Atlanta, making only one
basket. It was a huge one, however — a 3-pointer with 4:58
remaining for Atlanta’s first basket of the fourth quarter.

AtlAntA’s Al HorforD hits a putback layup in the final seconds of Game 5 of the second round of the NBA Eastern Conference
semifinals Wednesday, as the Hawks beat the Washington Wizards,
in Atlanta.
Horford followed with another 3
from the corner, and the Hawks
were right back in the game.
At the end, he wound up with
the ball a lot closer to the basket.
“We’re happy,” Horford said,
“but we understand it’s one
game.”
Derby winner American Pharoah has dreaded rail for Preakness
BALTIMORE (AP) — Bob Baffert
can only hope the finish of the
Preakness Stakes turns out better
than the post-position draw.
The trainer watched in disbelief
Wednesday as his Kentucky
Derby winner American Pharoah
drew the dreaded No. 1 post position for Saturday’s second leg of
the Triple Crown. A moment later,
his other entry, Dortmund, was
saddled with the No. 2 post.
A 1-2 punch he could do without after American Pharoah was
made the 4-5 morning-line
favorite and Dortmund the 7-2
second choice in an eight-horse
field. It’s the smallest field for the
1 3/16-mile Preakness since
2000, when Red Bullet upset
Derby winner Fusaichi Pegasus.
“I can’t believe I drew the 1-2 of
all draws,” a somewhat disappointed Baffert said, noting that if
American Pharoah is the best
horse, “we’re going to find out.
“It’s the luck of the draw. I don’t
love it, but it will be easy to
watch.”
Justin Zayat, the son of
American Pharoah owner Ahmed
Zayat and general manager of
Zayat Stables, chimed in on
Twitter: “The champ will just have
to work for it from the rail. I have
faith in AP.”
Baffert has never liked the No.
1 post, and history backs him up.
The last horse to win the
Preakness from the inside post
was Tabasco Cat in 1994; the last
to win it from the No. 2 post was
Snow Chief in 1986.
Baffert has 10 wins in Triple
Crown races, and none started
from the rail. Two weeks ago at
the Derby draw, Baffert clapped
his hands to his mouth after waiting until near the end of the draw
before avoiding the No. 1 post for
American Pharoah and having
him draw No. 18. Dortmund
wound up with the No. 8 post.
“It’s kind of a different vibe
here,” Baffert said, referring to a
field less than half the size of the
18-horse Derby and a track that
tends to be quicker than
Churchill Downs. “But unless
they re-draw it, we’ll have to live
with it.”
If American Pharoah wins, it
would set up Baffert for an
unprecedented fourth Triple
Crown try. The last Triple Crown
winner was Affirmed in 1978.
Derby runner-up Firing Line
was the third choice at 4-1, followed by Divining Rod (12-1),
Danzig Moon (15-1), Mr. Z (20-1),
Bodhisattva (20-1) and Tale of
Verve (30-1).
“We’ve got options from out
there,” Firing Line’s trainer Simon

Darlington has been a staple
of the NASCAR community since
Harold Brasington carved the
track out of some cotton and
peanut fields in 1949. The next
year, the Southern 500 was

NASCAR’s most coveted trophies, won by many of the
sport’s greatest drivers.

jam by setting down the next two
batters but then an RBI single by
Mabry Carpenter and a run-scoring double by Aubie Collake fired
things back up.
The Lady Owls added another
run in the second frame when
Allie Jones ripped a two-out double to plate Summer Williams,
who had walked.
The hosts tacked on four more
scores in the third inning when
Lemon and Sutton stroked backto-back two-out, two-run doubles.
Walker Valley’s lone run came
in the top of the fifth, when Ali
King laced a one-out single to left,
then moved up on an infield hit
by Tennessee Wesleyan signee
Carly Frost and a two-out walk to
future Lee Lady Flame Hallie
Davis. In a rare mistake by Lady
Owl freshman ace Kayla
Boseman, King was able to score
on a wild pitch.
Boseman finished with half
dozen strikeouts to improve to
19-2 on the season.
Callaghan said. “It’s perfect. We’re
happy.”
The first three Derby finishers
arrived at Pimlico Race Course
about 2 1/2 hours before the
post-position draw. After Baffert
walked his horses around the
stakes barn, they settled down in
stalls 29 and 30. Traditionally,
the Derby winner is housed in
stall No. 40.
Baffert had his reasons for the
switch.
“There’s a crowd at the end
there,” he said of the stall where
Ooltewah answered in the bottom of the frame with yet another
run-scoring two bagger, this one
off the bat of Boseman herself to
plate Sutton.
Walker Valley had chances to
score, getting at least one runner
on base in all but one of its turns
at the plate, but ended up leaving
eight “ducks on the pond.”
Sydney Ventura was the only
Lady Mustang with multiple hits,
going 2-for-4, while Davis was 1for-3, plus drew Boseman’s only
free pass.
TWC signee
AJ Chancey,
Bryan-bound Lara Bean, Frost
and King had the other Walker
Valley hits.

He said the horses shipped well

said of American Pharoah. “His

He’s a very intelligent horse. This

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) —
Stephen Curry turned in an
MVP-worthy performance,
Klay Thompson snapped out
of his shooting funk and the
Golden State Warriors rolled
past the Memphis Grizzlies
98-78 on Wednesday night to
take a 3-2 lead in their
Western Conference semifinal series.
Curry scored 18 points on
six 3-pointers and added a
career-playoff high six steals
to go with seven rebounds
and five assists. Thompson
scored 21 points, and
Harrison Barnes had 14 as
the Warriors won their second straight game in impressive fashion.
Golden State can close out
the Grizzlies in Game 6 on
Friday night in Memphis.
With defensive stopper
Tony Allen sidelined with a
left hamstring injury, the
Grizzlies struggled to contain
Golden State’s streaky
shooters. The Warriors made
14 of 30 shots from 3-point
range, while Memphis made
just four of 15 from long distance.
Marc Gasol had 18 points
and 12 rebounds, and Zach
Randolph had 13 points and
10 boards for a Grizzlies
team suddenly on the brink
of elimination.
Since going down 2-1 in
the series, the top-seeded
Warriors have rediscovered
their regular-season form —
swarming defense, paceand-space offense and lots of
long-range swishes.
And for the second time in
three nights, Memphis had
no answer for them.
Grizzlies coach Dave
Joerger had hoped his team
could find an offensive
rhythm to match Golden
State’s scoring punch.
Instead, Jeff Green and veteran Vince Carter struggled
to supply the same energy
and intensity on defense as
Allen, who wore a suit on the
bench and often waved
instructions to his teammates.
Curry carried the Warriors
back from an early 13-point
deficit, connecting on four 3pointers to give Golden State
a 26-25 lead at the end of the
first quarter. He motioned
his hands wildly to the roaring,
golden-yellow-shirtwearing sellout crowd following the fourth make just
before the buzzer, showing
as much emotion as he ever
has at home.
Barnes
helped
the
Warriors carry the momentum with several big plays in
the second quarter, and
Curry came back with another from long distance to put
Golden State up 49-41 at the
half.
The Warriors wore down
the shorthanded Grizzlies
following the break with a
fast-pace tempo that never
relented.
They led 74-57 through
three quarters and went
ahead by 24 points early in
the fourth on Thompson’s
four-point play, turning the
game into the type of home
wipeout that became routine
in the regular season, when
they rolled to a franchiserecord 67 wins.
Flames
From Page 11
Flames would need to post their
33rd victory of the season and
move to within one win of earning
a second straight trip to Mason,
Ohio and the NCCAA National
Tournament.
In the wild fifth inning Bluefield
pitchers hit two batters and
issued a walk. In the field the
Rams committed a pair of costly
errors. "I told our team we just
gave this one away," said veteran
Bluefield coach Mike White. "Lee
made the defensive plays and
their pitchers did not issue walks.
That was the difference in the
game." In fact, the Rams outhit
the Flames 8-7 but were guilty of
four errors and walked six, plus
hitting two batters.
The Flames added an insurance run in the sixth inning when
Holland doubled and scored on
an error. The first Lee run was
recorded in the third inning without a single hit. Bluefield pitchers
walked three straight hitters
before Nelo picked up an RBI on a
sacrifice fly.
Holland finished the day with
three hits. He scored a pair of
runs and drove in another. Brown
followed with two hits, an RBI
and a run. Weirzgac and Scott
posted a hit and knocked in one
run apiece.
"Dustin didn't have his best
stuff today," admitted Brew. "But
he hung in there and gave us a
chance to win." In five innings,
Lawson (7-1) surrendered seven
hits and allowed one earned run.
Freshman Michael James pitched
the Flames out of a jam in the
sixth inning. He hurled two
innings but allowed three walks
and struck out one. Kyle Briner
came on to close the deal in the
eighth and ninth innings. He gave
up a hit, walked two and struck
out one.
Bluefield used five pitchers and
starter Dylan Ruth was charged
with the defeat. Chris McCollister
had two doubles and a single for
the Rams. McLamb knocked in
two runs and Garrett Schilling
had a pair of singles.

The plan is for this event to become an
annual event to raise awareness about
the many and varied benefits of recycling and reducing litter.
Here is the unique part: the entry fee
is a minimum of two recyclable items
on the day of the race. That "fee" is in
keeping with what this event is all
OUR CITY
Cleveland
Mayor
Tom
Rowland
about. Prizes will be awarded to individuals who bring the most recyclable
materials on the day of the event.
Free parking is available at the park
and across the street at Cleveland High
School. The course is a safe and scenic
route through the city following the
Cleveland/Bradley County Greenway.
Everyone is invited to get the weekend started by enjoying the scenery, a
short walk or run and promoting the
idea that we should, and can, each do
our part to keep Cleveland and Bradley
County beautiful.
We are a community blessed with
many people who are doing just that.
Our Department of Public Works'
brush, leaf and trash collection information can be found at clevelandtn.gov.
Our city has also produced a brochure
with recycle information you will see
distributed in public places soon.
Both our city and county support the
volunteers of Cleveland/Bradley County
Keep America Beautiful. Many of us
take part in KAB community cleanup or
fundraising events each year. Hundreds
of families take advantage of the annual
Household Hazardous Waste Collection
days each spring and fall.
KAB volunteers visit elementary
school classrooms each spring to talk
about recycling and the importance of
not littering. By the time schools break
for the summer this year, those volunteers will have interacted with over
1,400 young students!
Many of our schools have recycling
programs. Some of our area businesses
offer recycling opportunities as well.
Our community has three recycle centers — at the Bradley County Landfill,
on Urbane Road and on Peerless Road.
We all know it is a good idea to keep
our community litter free and beautiful.
It is a part of what makes this a great
place to live.
Saturday's 5K run and walk is
another way to do just that in keeping
with our motto ... “The City With
Spirit!”

Thought for Today: “The essence of immorality is the tendency to make an exception of one’s self.”
— Jane Addams, American social worker and Nobel Peace laureate (1860-1935)
American people get
a voice on an Iran deal
I
t is hard to recall a time in
history when pragmatic
U.S. leadership around the
world mattered more to our
nation’s security and prosperity.
From the brutality of ISIS as
they recruit foreign fighters,
seize swaths of territory, kidnap innocent civilians and
murder Christians; to the
appalling acts of Syrian
President Bashar al-Assad
killing his own people with
barrel bombs and chlorine
gas; to Russian President
Vladimir Putin’s unlawful invasion and occupation of
Ukraine; to China’s aggressive behavior in the East and
South China Seas; the challenges we face are vast.
But there is perhaps no
greater geopolitical issue facing the world today than preventing a nuclear-armed Iran.
A nuclear Iran is a threat to
every nation and would lead
to a less safe and secure
world. It also could create a
dangerous arms race with the
possibility of a nuclear
weapon falling into the hands
of terrorists. That is why the
stakes are high as the United
States and other world powers negotiate to try to dismantle Iran’s nuclear weapons
capability.
Any agreement with Iran
will affect generations to
come, which is why I am
determined to ensure the
American people — through
their elected representatives
in Congress — are given a
voice on this consequential
decision.
It has been disappointing to
see President Obama and his
administration try to bypass
the American people and go
straight to the United Nations
Security Council after stating
any deal with Iran must pass
muster with Congress.
But last week — in a show
of bipartisanship that is all too
rare today in Washington —
Republicans and Democrats
in the Senate pushed back
and sent a strong message to
an administration notorious
for its overreach.
[Last] Thursday, with an
overwhelming vote of 98 to 1,
the Senate passed the Iran
Nuclear Agreement Review
Act, a bill I introduced with
colleagues on both sides of
the aisle, to restrict President
Obama’s free hand and give
the American people the
voice this administration has
tried so desperately to
silence. Without this bill, the
president would be able to
immediately waive sanctions
imposed by Congress and
unilaterally implement an
agreement with Iran.
The
Iran
Nuclear
Agreement Review Act does
three things:
First, it ensures transparency. The bill requires the president to submit to Congress
the text and all details of any
nuclear agreement with Iran,
if one is reached.
Second, it provides oversight. The bill prohibits the
administration from suspending congressional sanctions
for a period of time so
Congress will have the opportunity to hold hearings before
the American people. And
while it will be a heavy lift, the
bill ensures Congress has the
chance, if it chooses, to pass
a resolution of approval or
disapproval of the agreement.
Third, it holds Iran accountable. The bill requires the
president to certify to
Congress every 90 days that
Iran is complying with an
agreement. Should Iran
cheat, the bill enables
Congress to immediately
reimpose sanctions.
The bill now heads to the
House of Representatives for
consideration, where I hope it
will receive swift action.
When it comes to foreign
policy, I firmly believe that
partisanship should stop at
our water’s edge, which is
why we have worked hard to
keep our bipartisan bill
focused on the appropriate
role for Congress.
A strong, negotiated agreement that will stand the test of
time and stop Iran from
obtaining a nuclear weapon is
the preferred outcome. But as
the major world powers work
toward a final agreement, it is
important our negotiators
remain clear-eyed. The sooner we enact this bill, the sooner we can send a clear signal
to Iran that Congress will play
a role, which will give our
negotiators an even stronger
hand at the table and slow the
administration from rushing
headlong into a bad deal.
When consequential decisions are made — decisions
that will affect the type of
world we leave behind to our
children and grandchildren —
your voice must be heard.
With this bill, it will be.

Opposition in Ethiopia claims
harassment ahead of elections
ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia (AP)
— Ethiopian opposition groups
are accusing the government of
harassing their members and
carrying out illegal detentions
ahead of the May 24 elections.
Yonathan Tesfaye, spokesman
for the Blue Party, told The
Associated Press this week that
some party members are being
beaten, especially in the southern region. He said his party may
boycott the elections.
“If the current level of harassment and detention along with
the problem in registering our
observers continues, we might be
forced to consider exiting from
the election process,” he said.
Chane Kebede, leader of the
Ethiopian Democratic Party, also
complained of a climate of fear.
“We have now come to the
understanding that the ruling
party wants a 100 percent con-

trol of the government after the
upcoming election,” he said.
Only one opposition lawmaker
won a seat in the country’s parliament in the 2010 general elections, which watchdog groups
said were marred by intimidation
and harassment of opposition
activists.
But a spokesman for the ruling party, Desta Tesfaw, dismissed the allegations and
accused opposition parties
groups of trying to discredit the
elections.
“They don’t have their own
policies and agendas, and that’s
clear to the Ethiopian people,”
Tesfaw said, referring to the
political opposition. He noted,
however, that the ruling party
had “taken some measures
against our members who were
found violating the election
code.” He did not say what the
violations were.
In 2010, the ruling Ethiopian
People’s
Revolutionary
Democratic Front, or EPRDF,
won 99.6 percent of all parliamentary seats — a victory that
Human Rights Watch said was
“the culmination of the government’s five-year strategy of systematically closing down space
for political dissent and independent criticism.”

Dear Annie: I am a woman, 5foot-10 and 240 pounds. I wear a
size 12E men’s shoe. Why do
retail stores discriminate against
tall women? They have petites,
plus-sizes and juniors, while I
am lucky to find a pair of pants
anywhere, let alone something
stylish. I’m stuck between ugly
and uglier. Retailers assume all
overweight women are short and
round. I’m a size 14, but clothing
in that size is never long enough.
All I want is a plain T-shirt or
a nice pair of jeans that I can try
on in a store. I have to order
everything online and pay for
shipping. When it arrives, I discover it doesn’t fit, and I have to
return it and wait a week to get
my money back.
I’m sick of people telling me to
buy men’s clothing. It’s degrading and depressing. Shoes are
even worse. I had to make my
own wedding shoes. I couldn’t
even find them on sites for drag
queens.
Please let retailers and designers know that women come in all
shapes and sizes, and once in a
while, they should use a tall
woman as a model. — Fed Up
Dear Fed Up: Here’s the problem with catering to every shape
and size: Retailers need to make
money. They stock what sells.
They can sell a great many
things for those of average
height and average size, and
they have discovered a big market for plus-size women. But
apparently, there isn’t enough
demand for clothes in your size.
That is why ordering things
online has become such big
business, and it’s a blessing for
those who don’t fit into standard
sizes and cannot afford to have
their clothing or shoes custom
made. Please don’t give up looking. One of these days you will
find an online store where the
sizing works for you, and you
won’t need to return everything.
Dear Annie: I have a problem
with one of my best friends, and I
hope you can help. “Monique”
and I recently split the cost of a
hotel room so we could enjoy a
weekend of shopping and relaxation. We experienced a few problems with the room, nothing
major, but Monique complained
to the manager and got a coupon
for a free night on her next visit. I
was excited until she told me she
intended to use it with her husband because she’s always wanted to go there with him.
I didn’t say anything to
Monique, but why does this
refund belong only to her? We’ve
talked about returning to the
place in a few months, and I think
the coupon should be used for the
two of us. I will find it really difficult to come back here with
Monique if I can’t get past this.
Would you please explain why
she feels this is hers when I paid
for half of the room? I wouldn’t
care quite as much except that we
always use my car and Monique
only pays for gas now and then.

India’s Modi meets Xi on China visit amid warming ties
XI’AN, China (AP) — President
Xi Jinping praised China’s
warming ties with India during a
meeting Thursday between the
leaders of Asia’s rising powers
and rivals, which included a rare
touch of personal diplomacy for
a Chinese leader.
Xi met with Indian Prime
Minister Narendra Modi at a
sprawling government guest
house in Xi’an, the capital of
Shaanxi province, from which
the president’s family hails.
China-India relations “are experiencing stable development and
facing broad prospects,” Xi was
quoted as telling Modi by China’s
official Xinhua News Agency.
The exchanges highlight
warming ties between the two
powers — the world’s most populous nations with a combined
2.6 billion people — despite their
continuing rivalry and contrasting political systems. That trend
has gained momentum by the
personal authority enjoyed by
the two men, who are widely
seen as their countries’
strongest leaders in years.
Modi’s visit will “push forward
the bilateral strategic partnership to achieve new progress,
which has potential for greater
development,” Xi said.
Clad in traditional Indian
dress, Modi earlier visited the
museum dedicated to China’s
famed Terra Cotta Warriors and
a Buddhist temple housing
works translated from Sanskrit
— a reminder of the ancient cultural links between the two
Asian gians.
Amid heavy security, large
crowds turned out to greet his
motorcade, prompting the prime
minister to tweet: “Am very glad
to see the enthusiasm among the
people of China. People-to-people ties are always special.”
The visit to the central
Chinese city marks the first time
Xi has hosted a visiting foreign
leader in his ancestral home, a
conscious display of hospitality
underscoring his intention to
build a strong personal relationship with Modi.
Xi is reciprocating the Indian
leader’s invitation to his own
hometown of Ahmedabad during
a visit to India last year. Chinese
leaders almost never receive
their foreign counterparts in
anything other than formal settings in Beijing.
Xi said his September to India
visit resulted in “an important
consensus on promoting the
bilateral strategic partnership of
cooperation and forging a closer
partnership of development,”
according to Xinhua.
China is looking to India as a
market for its increasingly hightech goods, from high-speed
trains to nuclear power plants,
while India is keen to attract
Chinese investment in manufacturing and infrastructure. With a
slowing economy, excess production capacity and nearly $4
trillion in foreign currency
reserves, China is ready to satisfy India’s estimated $1 trillion in
demand for infrastructure projects such as airports, roads,
ports and railways.
Modi’s top priority in China is
finding ways to reduce India’s
$48 billion trade deficit with its
neighbor through greater market
access for Indian goods and
services and by convincing
Chinese companies to manufacture in India.
Indian and Chinese officials
have said the sides plan to sign
investment deals and trade
agreements during Modi’s visit
worth about $10 billion, the official China Daily newspaper
reported Thursday.
Xi and Modi are also expected
to discuss efforts to end a border
dispute that sparked a bloody
monthlong conflict in 1962. No
resolution is expected soon,
although the sides have been in
close contact to avoid flare-ups.
India has also grown increasingly concerned about forays by
Chinese naval vessels, including
submarines, into what New
Delhi considers its strategic
backyard. China’s navy is active
in the Gulf of Aden as part of
anti-piracy patrols, and Beijing
has heavy invests in port facilities in Sri Lanka and Pakistan.
Another divisive issue is
China’s deep ties with Pakistan,
India’s archrival, where Xi
received a lavish reception last
month. China has committed to
invest up to $46 billion in
Pakistani power generation and
other projects.
Meanwhile, the presence of
Tibetan spiritual leader the
Dalai Lama in India rankles
Beijing, although New Delhi has
avoided using him as a diplomatic foil. China reviles the
Buddhist cleric, who fled to India
in 1959, as a separatist.
Beijing is also concerned
about India’s improving relations with Japan and the U.S. —
China’s chief rivals for influence
in Asia. Xi’s desire to build a
strong personal bond with Modi
can be seen as an attempt to
ensure China ranks high in his
affections and improve coordination on regional and international issues.
Both countries are members
of the BRICS grouping of emerging economies, which is now
establishing a formal lending
arm, the New Development
Bank, to be based in China’s
financial hub of Shanghai and
headed by a senior Indian
banker.
India was also a founding
member of the embryonic China-

Boko Haram attacks Maiduguri
MAIDUGURI, Nigeria (AP) —
Hundreds of Boko Haram
extremists tried to attack the
biggest army base in northeast
Nigeria overnight but met fierce
resistance from soldiers who
fired artillery throughout the
night.
Booming cannon and whooshing rockets woke up people living around Giwa Barracks in
Maiduguri, the northeast’s
biggest city. The ground shook
as people prostrated themselves
for evening prayers. Hundreds
fled, though some were returning home on Thursday morning.
Many villagers were killed by
shells that hit the outlying village of Kayamla, where the soldiers engaged hundreds of militants, according to Muhammad
Gava, a hunter who is secretary
of the self-defense Vigilante
Group of Nigeria.
“Many of them (Boko Haram)
were killed outside the trenches
while some fled back,” said
another civilian fighter, Ibrahim
Musa.
“We were with the soldiers
during the attack and I was
shocked to see that Boko Haram
could be in such large num-
bers,” Musa told The Associated
Press.
Panicking people took flight,
some women hefting babies on
their backs while other children
clung to their skirts. An elderly
woman trying to run had an
asthma attack.
The army imposed a 24-hour
curfew amid fears some insurgents have slipped through
trenches and sand walls constructed to prevent a motorized
assault after a Feb. 1 offensive
in which the Islamic extremists
attacked Maiduguri from four
fronts.
The curfew is “to protect lives
and property of innocent and
law-abiding
people
of
Maiduguri,” said a statement
from Col. Tukur Gusau,
spokesman for the army’s 7th
Division that is leading the fight
against Boko Haram.
A multinational force and
Nigerian troops backed by
bombing fighter jets and helicopter gunships drove the
extremists from all towns in the
northeast in a 14-week-long
offensive. Nigerian officials have
said they have the militants
hemmed into their stronghold in
the vast Sambisa Forest, which
is about 200 kilometers (125
miles) southeast of Maiduguri.
An offensive on forest camps
has freed some 700 girls and
women held captive by the
extremists. But it appears to be
bogged down by militants’ land
mines and booby traps.
Maiduguri has suffered several attacks, including a March
14, 2014 assault in which Boko
Haram invaded Giwa Barracks
and freed hundreds of detainees.
More than 600 people were
killed that day, mostly unarmed
detainees gunned down by
Nigerian troops, according to
Amnesty International.
Maiduguri used to be a city
where people didn’t lock the
doors to their homes. Its population of 2 million has been
swelled by more than 300,000
refugees.
More than 1.5 million people
in Nigeria have been driven from
their homes, some across borders, during the nearly 5-yearold Islamic insurgency. Last year
was the bloodiest, with some
10,000 people killed, according
to the U.S. Council on Foreign
Relations.

Hundreds of PeoPle stage a rally outside the Japanese Prime Minister’s Office in Tokyo,
Thursday, opposing a set of controversial bills intended to expand Japan’s defense role at home and
internationally. Banners read “No War.”
Japan’s Cabinet endorses bills
to allow greater defense role
TOKYO (AP) — Japan’s
Cabinet endorsed a set of
defense bills Thursday that
would allow the country’s military to operate under a broader
definition of self-defense and
play a greater role internationally, a plan that has split public
opinion.
Hundreds of people rallied
outside Prime Minister Shinzo
Abe’s office calling the bills “war
legislation” that turn Japan
toward militarism. They say the
move would tarnish nearly 70
years of efforts by Japan to
regain international trust and
identity as a pacifist nation.
Abe, in a bid to win public
understanding, said in a nationally televised news conference
that Japan’s military needs to be
able to do more to protect the
country and contribute to international peacekeeping.
“We cannot look away from
this severe situation,” he said.
“Right now, we don’t have the
(legal) instruments necessary to
eliminate the danger even when
our lives are in clear danger.”
The bills, whose titles include
phrases such as “peace and
security” and “international
peace support,” will be taken up
by parliament next.
After its defeat in World War II,
Japan renounced war under the
U.S.-drafted constitution that
essentially limits the use of force
to self-defense.
Abe and his government say
that a strict interpretation of
that limit leaves Japan vulnerable as China asserts itself in the
region and North Korea pursues
missile and nuclear ambitions.
The bills would remove geographic restrictions on where
the military can operate.
Another change would allow
Japan to defend its allies, not
just itself. The government says
they are needed to bring domestic law in line with Abe’s national security policy.
The legislation would also
enhance the U.S.-Japan security
alliance, but Abe denied opponents’ fears that it would
increase the chance of Japan
being drawn into a U.S.-led war.
Instead, the legislation would
“increase deterrence and further
eliminate chances of Japan coming under attack,” Abe said.
Critics say what constitutes
the right to use “collective selfdefense” or when troops could
be sent on a peace mission overseas is too vague.
China raised concerns, citing
Japan’s wartime history.
“We hope Japan makes actual
efforts in absorbing historical
lessons, adhering to peaceful
development, and making positive and constructive contributions to a peaceful and stable
development in a region shared
by all the Asian countries,”
Foreign Ministry spokeswoman
Hua Chunying said.
Media polls show public opinion divided.
“I was born right after the war,
but during this time Japan was
able to gain prosperity and trust
from the world because of our
peace constitution,” said Taeko
Otaki, a 68-year-old homemaker
at the rally outside Abe’s office.
Koichi Nakano, an international politics professor at
Sophia University in Tokyo, says
the changes are problematic
because they would allow the
prime minister and a handful of
leaders to make crucial decisions, such as dispatching
troops overseas, without due
process.
“I think it is possible that
Japanese diplomatic power may
be enhanced by this but also
there are people who are worried
that Japan’s peace brand, the
image of Japan as a pacifist
country, is going to be damaged,” he said.
23 people killed by rebels
in east Congo villages
KINSHASA, Congo (AP) — An
administrator in North Kivu
province in Congo’s east says 23
bodies have been found after an
attack on several villages by suspected rebels overnight.
Amisi Kalonda, Beni territory
official, said Thursday that bodies were found in several small
villages about 2 kilometers (1
mile) north of the town of Beni.
He said suspected rebels with
the Allied Democratic Forces
killed with machetes and axes.
People took to the streets of
Beni on Tuesday to protest insecurity in the area. Six people
were killed Monday night not far
from the Mavivi airport, said civil
society leader Teddy Kataliko.
The ADF, which originated in
neighboring Uganda, is one of
many armed groups operating in
eastern Congo, staging sporadic
attacks on towns there and
against Congolese military units.
The group’s leader was arrested
the other week.

Malaysia turns away
800 boat people
LANGKAWI, Malaysia (AP) —
Rohingya
Muslims
and
Bangladeshis abandoned at sea
by human traffickers had
nowhere to go Thursday as
Malaysia turned away two boats
crammed with migrants, and
Thailand kept at bay a large vessel with hundreds of hungry people.
“What do you expect us to do?”
Malaysian Deputy Home Minister
Wan Junaidi Jafaar said. “We
have been very nice to the people
who broke into our border. We
have treated them humanely but
they cannot be flooding our
shores like this.”
“We have to send the right
message that they are not welcome here,” he told The
Associated Press. Four days earlier, about 1,000 refugees landed
on the shores of Langkawi, a
popular resort island in northern
Malaysia near Thailand. Another
600 have arrived surreptitiously
in Indonesia.
Thai Prime Minister Gen.
Prayuth Chan-ocha also made it
clear that his government does
not have resources to host
refugees.
“If we take them all in, then
anyone who wants to come will
come freely. I am asking if
Thailand will be able to take care
of them all. Where will the budget come from?,” Prayuth said.
“No one wants them. Everyone
wants a transit country like us to
take responsibility. Is it fair?” he
said.
Southeast Asia, which for
years tried to quietly ignore the
plight of Myanmar’s 1.3 million
Rohingya, finds itself caught in a
spiraling humanitarian crisis
that in many ways it helped create. In the last three years, more
than 120,000 members of the
Muslim minority, who are
intensely
persecuted
in
Buddhist-majority
Myanmar,
have boarded ships to flee to
other countries, paying huge
sums of money to human traffickers.
But faced with a crackdown by
security forces of various countries, the smugglers have abandoned the ships, leaving an estimated 6,000 refugees to fend for
themselves, according to reliable
aid workers and human rights
groups.
“This is a grave humanitarian
crisis demanding an immediate
response,” said Matthew Smith,
executive director of nonprofit
human rights group Fortify
Rights. “Lives are on the line.”
Despite appeals by the U.N.
and aid groups, no government
in the region — Thai, Indonesian
or Malaysian — appears willing
to take the refugees, fearing that
accepting a few would result in
an unstoppable flow of poor,
uneducated migrants.
Wan Junaidi said about 500
people on board a boat found
Wednesday off the coast of northern Penang state were given provisions and then sent on their
way. Another boat carrying about
300 migrants was turned away
near Langkawi island overnight,
according to two Malaysian officials who declined to be identified because they weren’t
authorized to speak to the press.
Meanwhile, Thai authorities
also spotted a boat with migrants
near Lipe island in Satun
province on the sea border
between Thailand and Malaysia.
They have been given food and
water,
Capt.
Chayut
Navespootikorn, a senior naval
official, told the AP.
“To bring them into our country is not our policy,” he said. “If
they need fuel or food to go on (to
a third country) we would help
them with it.”
Malaysia, which is not a signatory of international conventions
on refugees, is host to more than
150,000 refugees and asylum
seekers, the majority whom are
from Myanmar. More than
45,000 of them are Rohingya,
according to the U.N. refugee
agency, many more than almost
any other country.
But because they have no legal
status, job opportunities are limited. They also have little or no
access to basic services like education and health care, and are
vulnerable to arrests and deportation. A small number are resettled to third countries.
Phil Robertson of Human
Rights Watch Asia accused
Indonesia,
Thailand
and
Malaysia of playing “a three-way
game of human ping pong.” At
the same time, the three countries and others in Southeast
Asia have for years bowed to the
wishes of Myanmar at regional
conferences, avoiding all discussions of state-sponsored discrimination against the Rohingya.
Denied citizenship by national
law, members of the Rohingya
minority are effectively stateless.
They have limited access to education or adequate health care
and cannot move around freely.
They have been attacked by the
military and chased from their
homes and land by extremist
Buddhist mobs.
Wan Junaidi, the deputy home
minister, said it was time to put
pressure on Myanmar, a former
pariah-state, to address the
Rohingya crisis.
“You talk about democracy,
but don’t treat your citizens like
trash, like criminals until they
need to run away to our country,” he said.
Increasingly over the years,
Rohingya boarding boats in the
Bay of Bengal have been joined
by people from neighboring
Bangladeshi, most of them seeking an escape from poverty.
For those fleeing, the first stop
until recently was Thailand,
where migrants were held in jungle camps until their families
could raise hefty ransoms so
they could continue onward.
Recent security crackdowns
forced the smugglers to change
tactics, instead holding people
on large ships parked offshore.
Initially they were shuttled to
shore in groups on smaller boats
after their “ransoms” were paid.
But as agents and brokers on
land got spooked by arrests - not
just of traffickers but also police
and politicians - they went into
hiding.
That created a bottleneck, with
migrants stuck on boats for days
and weeks.
Serb court quashes
treason conviction
of WWII general
BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — A
Belgrade court on Thursday
quashed the treason conviction
of Gen. Draza Mihailovic for his
collaboration with Nazis during
World War II, politically rehabilitating the controversial Serbian
guerrilla commander almost 70
years after he was sentenced and
shot to death by communists.
For decades, Mihailovic’s fate
has fueled division in Serbia,
where many see him as a hero
who died for political reasons.
The Higher Court of Belgrade
said Thursday that the verdict
from July 1946 is now “null and
void.”
The ruling was met with a
thunderous applause by dozens
of Mihailovic’s supporters who
filled the courtroom. Dozens
more flag-waving nationalist
supporters and leftist opponents
of Mihailovic gathered outside
and were kept apart by riot
police.
“Thank God for this!” cried
Novica Djoric, wearing the trademark beard and black shirt of
the so-called Chetnik movement
— named after Mihailovic’s WWII
guerrilla troops.
An opponent, Aleksandar
Djekic, described the ruling as a
“big shame and a mockery of all
the victims of fascism.”
Supporters of WWII Yugoslav
communist partisans maintain
that Mihailovic collaborated with
the Nazi occupiers, and nonSerbs in the former Yugoslavia
have accused his troops of atrocities.
Historian Srdjan Milosevic
described
the
ruling
as
“regretable” and bound to cause
negative reactions in the Balkan
region, still recovering from
bloody breakup of the former
Yugoslavia in the 1990s when
Serbian nationalist troops were
accused of crimes against other
ethnic groups.

QUESTIONS & ATTITUDE
Compelling questions ...
and maybe a few actual answers
SPEED FREAKS
3 questions we
had to ask — ourselves
A Johnson-Harvick
duel for the championship: Inevitable?
3
CLEVELAND
TIRE CENTER
THINGS WE LEARNED
AT KANSAS
YOUR
Associated Press/CHUCK BURTON
Jimmie and Kevin, one-on-one,
for a million bucks. Would you
watch? Of course you would.
All-Star race ... ho-hum?
Sad to say, but yes, in a way. Way
back when, race fans loved this thing
because it was a shortened version
of a race and they only had to pay
attention for a little while before
moving along with the party, whether at home or alongside Charlotte
Motor Speedway in the Winnebago.
You up to speed on
the All-Star race
format?
GODSPEAK: No. They
switch the format more
than Lady Gaga changes
costumes.
KEN’S CALL: Let the
Boys in the Booth sort it
out as the rest of us just
wait for the final 10-lap
sprint.
And now?
Attention spans are so short, the
all-star event actually has become
a little drawn out, with all of its
segments and rather predictable
finishes. It’s time to think outside the
pit box and come up with an idea
that once again excites the weekly
race fan and maybe gets the attention of the casual fan.
Any surprise pick to
win Friday’s Sprint
Showdown?
ONLINE EXTRAS

2. Stewart’s demise
3. Mighty Martin
Jimmie Johnson has scored
the most wins (three) this year,
and Kevin Harvick has led the
most laps (1,006) and has
finished in the top-two eight
times in his past 11 starts. Look
for this to continue into the
Chase. Since J.J. won Kansas,
it’s time for Harvick to answer
the bell at Charlotte.
Tony Stewart is having the
worst season of his career.
The three-time Sprint Cup Series champion has one top-10
finish in 11 starts this season.
He has led only 14 laps and
has three DNFs. Ouch. You
got to figure his pressure
valve is going to pop if this
doesn’t turn around fast.
It’s safe to say after 10 top-10
finishes in 11 Cup races Martin Truex Jr. is the real deal
and this is no statistical fluke.
The only void on his performance chart is a win. He desperately wants that next win,
which would be the third of
his career and give Furniture
Row Racing validation.
WHAT’S ON TAP
3. No points
The All-Star Race carries no championship points,
so drivers are racing for pride and to pocket the
first-place prize money of $1 million. The Chase
has taken away the All-Star luster.
Did you remember Jamie McMurray
won the 2014 Sprint All-Star Race?
That’s what we thought.
WINNER: Kasey Kahne
REST OF THE TOP FIVE: Kevin
Harvick, Jimmie Johnson, Brad
Keselowski, Joey Logano
DARK HORSE: Aric Almirola
FIRST ONE OUT: AJ Allmendinger
DON’T BE SURPRISED IF: Kahne finally puts it all together in the No.
5 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet
on one of his best tracks.

DID YOU KNOW?
Every All-Star Race but one has been at Charlotte
Motor Speedway. Darrell Waltrip won the inaugural
at CMS in 1985. The next year, it was on Mother’s
Day at Atlanta Motor Speedway. It went right back to
Charlotte, where Dale Earnhardt made his infamous
“pass in the grass” racing Bill Elliott for the lead.

Such as this: Everyone loves a
bracket. So how about brackets, with
head-to-head races with just two
cars on the track, two or three laps
each? Seed the brackets depending
on points standings. Take it right
down to the final four and finally the
championship matchup. Best of all,
no rolling starts. Every mini-race
starts from a stand-still.

Jimmie Johnson, right, is No. 1 in the Chase standings after Kansas with three wins. But he
can expect to battle Kevin Harvick all the way through the Chase playoffs.

Can’t-miss gifts for your graduates
Automotive accessories
Many recent grads use the
months immediately following
graduation to take a road trip,
making automotive accessories
great gifts. Increase the enjoyment factor of a post-graduation
road trip by treating the grad to
a subscription to a streaming
satellite music service. This way
grads can enjoy their favorite
tunes no matter where their
roads lead them.
(MS) — Graduation season is
a time for celebration as students prepare to face the next
phase of their lives. Graduation
parties will soon be in full swing,
and people may find themselves
attending one or more of these
festive occasions.
Party guests and graduation
well-wishers may want to bring
gifts for the guests of honor, and
the following are a few ideas that
newly minted grads may appreciate now or in the near future.
Travel
Graduates enter a time of
transition between graduation
and their pursuits of a career or
additional schooling. The summer that follows graduation is
filled with free time for many
recent grads, making it a prime
time to explore the world.
If you know a new grad who
harbors a sense of wanderlust,
put together a travel-themed
present complete with airline
tickets, guide books, carry-on
luggage, and some converted
currency to use as spending
money.
You even can work with a
travel agent to customize a trip
you know your new grad will
love.
Charitable giving
Philanthropic students may
have spent their time as students helping others and supporting certain charities. If you
are aware of a cause your graduate supports, think about making a donation to that organization. Couple that gift with an
offering to volunteer.
It’s a great way to spend time
with the graduate before he or
she moves on to the next phase
of life.
Professional wardrobe
Recent graduates may have
interviews lined up or even a job
awaiting them upon graduation,
and such grads may need attire
that is more befitting the business world.
Suits, ties, collared shirts,
briefcases, and the like will
make thoughtful gifts for the
budding professional. If you are
unsure of sizes or style preferences, a gift card to a wellknown retailer or specialty shop
is a safe idea.
Relaxation
School is not easy, so a gift to
a spa for a massage or facial session can be a way to help your
favorite graduate unwind once
final exam and term paper season has officially ended.
Exercise is another way to
unwind from the rigors of a
school year, so consider a health
club membership for new grads
whose campus gym access is no
longer available.
Financial favors
Cash is a graduation gift that
will never go out of style. It may
not be fancy, but cash certainly
comes in handy for graduates
facing repayment of student
loans or the costs of secondary
schooling.
If giving cash at a party, write
a check payable to the graduate
rather than giving loose cash
that can be easily lost. Some
grads even may have a Go Fund
Me or Paypal account to help offset schooling costs, and gift
givers can deposit money directly into such accounts if they so
desire.

(MS) — Graduation season is
upon us, and grads everywhere
are lining up to receive their
diplomas and degrees, which
represent years of hard work
and discipline.
Diplomas may be simple
sheets of paper, but those
sheets of paper are symbolic of
so much more. Yet too often
diplomas end up collecting dust
in a box somewhere instead of
being displayed in a home.
There may be plenty of reasons why diplomas end up
going from commencement ceremonies to shelves in the back
of closets. Some just cannot
find a way or a place to display
their diplomas without feeling
as if they are boasting about
their accomplishments.
Diplomas incorporated into a
larger collection of items can
become eye-catching components of home décor.
n Practice feng shui. The
principles of feng shui suggest
the “fame” area of a home is the
central area along the wall
opposite the front door.
A “power” area also exists in
the center of the wall opposite
the main entrance door. Such
areas make ideal spots to display diplomas, awards and trophies that remind you of times
of personal triumph. If anyone
asks, let them know that you’re
dabbling in feng shui and these
displays are fueling the fire of
future success in your career
and life.
n Create a gallery wall.
Certificates and diplomas can
be matted and framed just like
any other piece of artwork.
When mixed and matched
with other framed pieces, they
create a subtle, rather than
boastful, effect. These certificates will blend into home
décor and be part of a larger
gallery look, providing visual
interest and conversation
pieces.
n Establish a home office.
Diplomas are tailor-made for
home offices. When hung
behind a desk, diplomas can
give a home office a professional feel.
Diplomas and other awards
also can be housed on book
shelves and mixed in with other
symbols of academia, like rib-
bons, sports trophies and photos of classmates.
n Design a digital display.
Modest graduates may not want
their diplomas in full view at all
times.
Awards can be scanned into
a computer and turned into
digital images. Include an
image of your degree in a reel
that includes photos from your
years in academia. The images
will rotate in a digital picture
frame.
Update the display from time
to time to keep it interesting.
n Put together a portfolio.
You may want to scrapbook
awards and diplomas as you
would other milestones in life.
Purchase a sturdy binder and
slip the awards into clear, protective covers. The binder can
be stored on a bookshelf and
pulled out whenever you want
to revisit your years in school.
n Create a shadow box. Fill a
shadow box with the diploma
and some other mementos from
school, like newspaper clippings or prom ticket stubs. The
entire collection will make for a
nice display you can enjoy
whenever you feel compelled to
take a trip down memory lane.
n Bring it to work. You may
want to hang certain documents in your office as proof of
your credentials. A diploma can
add an air of authority to the
space.
Diplomas are symbolic of significant accomplishments in
life. Explore the many ways to
display it and be proud of the
hard work required to earn
your diploma.

Rings, yearbooks help students
invest in good school memories
(MS) — High school is not only
a challenging time in a young
student’s life, but also a period
that can have a profound impact
on a young person, as so many
memories are created in the
years students spend in high
school.
By the time their high school
careers end, students typically
have many mementos from their
school days. Yearbooks and class
rings are two such mementos,
and each is a lasting symbol of
school and a great way to show
alumni pride.
Yearbooks
Yearbooks are perhaps the
most popular memento among
graduates. Schools and yearbook

standard snapshots of the student body, but piece together the
candid photos and stories that
really paint a picture of a school
and its graduating classes. From
a freshman dance to a senior theater production, yearbooks
include it all, serving as a onestop scrapbook of school recollections.
Sales of yearbooks may also be
put toward fundraising efforts for
the school — fueling future programs and resources for students. Yearbooks give students
an accessible way to look back on
their youth and shared experiences with other students.
Five things college grads need
to understand about the ACA
NASHVILLE — With graduation just around the corner,
many college graduates will have
to make decisions about their
health coverage for the first
time.
Here are some tips to keep in
mind:
If you’re under 26, you may
be able to stay on your parents’ plan:
If your parents’ plan covers
children, you can be added to or
kept on your parent's health
insurance policy until you turn
26 years old.
You can still stay on the plan
even if you are married, not living with your parents, not financially dependent on them, or eligible to enroll in your employer’s
plan.
If you are losing coverage
when you turn 26, you will qualify for a special enrollment period beginning 60 days before the
loss of coverage and ending 60
days after.
If you can’t stay on your
parents’ plan, graduating from
school may qualify you for
special enrollment:
Finishing school may make
you newly eligible to enroll via
the Marketplace when the
enrollment period is normally
closed if you are losing coverage
or moving outside your coverage
area.
Your special enrollment period
is available up to 60 days from
when you lose coverage or move.
If you’re on a budget, health
insurance can be more affordable than you think:
Financial help is available.
This year, 83 percent of
Tennesseans who signed up got
help paying for health insurance. The average Tennessean
who received financial assistance paid just $102 per month
for their plan. You could too.
And while every plan must
cover 10 essential services —
medications, emergency rooms
visits, preventative care, and
more — there are enough plans
on the Marketplace that you can
find a plan that fits your budget.
Families or individuals who
meet certain income requirements or other circumstances
may qualify for low cost coverage
through Tennessee’s TennCare
program, which has year-round
enrollment.
If you don’t get covered, you
may have to pay a fine: The
fine for not being covered in
2015 is to $325 per adult or 2
percent of your income —
whichever is greater. In many
cases, the fine alone is often
more costly than getting covered. And the cost of the fine
might not be your only worries.
The average emergency room
bill for something as small as a
sprained ankle is $1,018 — or
156 Chipotle chicken burritos. A
broken arm on average costs
$8,094.
There’s lots of free, one-onone help to get you covered:
Tennesseans who want to find
out more about their health coverage options through the
Marketplace or TennCare should
schedule an appointment to
meet with an enrollment expert
in their community by logging
onto the Get Covered Connector
at www.getcoveredtenn.org or by
calling 844-644-5443.
Enroll America is the nation's
leading health care enrollment
coalition. An independent nonprofit, nonpartisan organization,
Enroll America works with more
than 4,600 partners in all 50
states to create cutting-edge
tools, analyze data, inform policy,

Class rings
Class rings are another way for
students to mark their time in
high school. Rings are customarily offered for sale to the graduating class. What sets these apart
from other school momentos is
that they often can be customized based on the interests of
the student.
Class rings can feature names,
team numbers, icons that represent clubs in which a student
participated, and a host of other
specific information about graduates. In many cases, rings
include the graduation year and
a stone that represents the
school’s color. The size, shape
and style of the ring may be predetermined by the school, or
soon-to-be graduates may be
permitted to design their own
rings.
Some schools contract jewelers
to provide group pricing to students. However, students can
work with jewelers on their own
as well. Art Carved, Jostens and
Balfour are some of the wellknown class ring providers, but
mainstream jewelers such as Kay
and Zales also offer class rings

and graduation jewelry presents.
Rings can be a lasting way to
show school pride. Rings sometimes become heirlooms that are
handed down through the generations as kids follow in the footsteps of their ancestors.
Men and women often cherish
their school yearbooks and class
rings from high school. Such
mementos will stand the test of
time and help anyone recall their
high school years.

(MS) — Graduation season, an oft-emotional
time of great celebration and reflection, is on the
horizon. Though soon-to-be graduates are about
to have one set of challenges firmly behind
them, other important life decisions and experiences are looming in the not-too-distant future.
Although there’s no magic set of rules for

recent gradates transition from the classroom to
the ceremony and then life after school.
n Attend the graduation ceremony.
Graduating students may debate whether or not
to attend their graduation ceremonies. Such
ceremonies tend to be lengthy, and outdoor
affairs can be hot and uncomfortable. However,
graduation is a milestone moment that you
won’t get to enjoy again.
Attending graduation allows you one last academic experience, and even if that may seem
like too meaningful right now, you might regret
skipping the ceremony down the road.
• Enjoy graduation but buckle down once the
dust settles. According to a survey by the
National Association of Colleges and Employers,
the job market for new graduates is improving
marginally. But the Institute for College Access
and Success notes that many college graduates
will be saddled with around $25,000 in debt
upon earning their degrees.
Many student loans have a six-month repayment grace period after graduation, so new
grads who don’t already have a job lined up may
want to use some of that grace period to travel,
visit distant relatives or relax and recharge
before their first payment comes due.
Use the time wisely, but be prepared to buckle
down when the time comes to start repaying
loans.
n Join an alumni association. Regardless of
the size of your school, chances are strong they
have a local alumni association and several
chapters across the country.
Take advantage of these organizations to connect with fellow alumni, who can be invaluable
sources of information and provide connections
that may help you find a job in your field.
Undergrads worry stress will lower grades
Special to the Banner
A study of 2,000 U.S. final year
undergraduate college students
has found that 64 percent are
worried that stress and anxiety is
creating performance issues
fuelling fears that they will be
awarded lower grades than
expected.
The independent research, by
Stop Procrastinating (www.stopprocrastinatingapp.com),
the
leading productivity research
website, also found that students
believe their levels of stress are
greater than in the past.
Students responding to the
survey stated their stress and
anxiety levels were high because
they were struggling to cope with
expectations and competition at
college for results.
Thirty-five percent blamed this
on the difficult jobs market for
young people, citing worry about
lack of job opportunities.
Forty-five percent blamed the
overwhelming significance of
their finals exams, realizing that
underperforming could affect the
rest of their lives, closing doors to
opportunities and missing out on
jobs or graduate schemes that
higher grades would have
secured.
Seventy-five percent said they

Woman who missed graduation gets diploma 63 years later
LORAIN, Ohio (AP) — A woman
who missed graduation in 1952
because she needed a half-credit
of gym class has received her
high school diploma decades
later in a surprise ceremony.
A graduation march played
while 80-year-old Susan Bostik
We’re online!

Reynolds was pushed in a wheelchair by her daughter, Cindy
Bracy, to a stage at Lorain's
Clearview High School. She had
been told she was receiving an
early Mother's Day gift.
Clearview
Superintendent
Jerome Davis handed the diploma to Reynolds and shook her
hand. She wore a blue graduation cap for the ceremony in a
new auditorium at her old
school, The Morning Journal
reported.
Reynolds said she waited a
long time for the diploma and
was glad her children could see
it. She said she'd fallen short of
graduation
requirements
because of an illness that sent
her to the hospital. She didn't
pass her gym class because she
wouldn't participate in one of the
physical activities.
"I had an appendix attack,"
Reynolds said. "I didn't finish
gym class. I wouldn't go up on
that rope."
She went on to raise five children with her husband and
worked at Lorain National Bank.
Clearview guidance counselor
Jean Branzel said the ceremony
illustrated the importance of getting a diploma, no matter how
long it takes.
And it was a good lesson for

Graduation Special
NEW YORK (AP) — Is someone
in your family graduating from
college this year? If so, here are
a few things to keep in mind
that might preserve your sanity
on commencement day.
—WHERE’S MY KID?
You never took your eye off
them at the playground when
they were little, but you might
not be able to find your kid amid
a sea of identically dressed students in black caps and gowns.
Even if you think you have your
eye on the right one as he or she
marches down an aisle, chances
are, once they’re all seated, you
won’t be able to tell one from
another.
The solution? Tell ‘em to wear
a bright yellow scarf or paint “HI
MOM!”
(or
even
better,
“THANKS, MOM!”) in neon colors on top of the mortarboard.
Often colleges will hand out
maps showing where each
department’s students will be
seated, so make sure you consult the map to pick the nearest
available seats.
—ARE YOU THERE? I CAN’T
HEAR YOU!
Cellphones have a way of
dying at the worst moments.
Invest in a portable battery pack
— or two or three of them — so
that you and everyone else in
your family can keep taking
those photos and videos and
sending texts to the graduate
saying things like, “I can’t see
you! Turn around and wave
slowly! Meet us at Gate 10!
What time is our dinner reservation?”
—IF YOU’RE IN A HURRY,
YOU’RE IN THE WRONG
PLACE
However long you think it’s
going to take to get around the
campus and college town on
commencement day, it’ll take
twice that long, whether you’re
walking, taking a bus, driving or
just entering and exiting the
stadium, hall or field. The ceremony will take twice as long as
you thought, too (and might be
twice as boring — drink some
coffee beforehand).
Leave plenty of time to get
from your car and your hotel to
the ceremony; leave even more
time to get from the ceremony to
the restaurant where you’ve
planned that big celebration.
And set up a post-commencement meeting place with the
graduate beforehand — just in
case your best efforts to keep
the cellphones going fail.
—THERE’S ALWAYS THE
NEXT TOWN OVER
If you didn’t make hotel reservations a year in advance,
you’re out of luck. If you didn’t
make dinner reservations four
months in advance, you’re out
of luck. In communities with
lots of colleges or large universities, hotels typically open up
reservations for graduation
weekend a year in advance and
they sell out fast.
But don’t panic. The closest
venues will naturally fill up first,
but those are also likely to be
the most expensive. Give your-

self extra travel time and stay a
few miles away in a nearby
town. Do a little research and
find a truly wonderful restaurant a little farther away than
the pizzeria, deli and Mexican
place your kid has been eating
at for the past four years. The
farther away your celebratory
dinner is from campus, the better the service will be and the
more relaxed the atmosphere
will be.
—LOAD UP THE CAR
You know those care packages you’ve been sending to
dorms, frats, sororities and offcampus apartments for the past
four years? At least half of that
stuff was never opened. And
now you’ll be carting all those
unopened shampoo bottles and
boxes of hot chocolate mix
home, along with piles of Tshirts, barely used notebooks
and assorted collectibles bearing the logo of your child’s alma
mater. Drive up with an empty
trunk and take a deep breath.
After all, your kid isn’t just
bringing home a hoarder’s trove
of college junk; he or she is also
bringing home a degree.
—Beth J. Harpaz is the proud
mother of a college graduate and
experienced all these things firsthand.

Want to stand out in cap and gown? Decorate the mortarboard
(AP) — It’s hard to stand out at
graduation when dozens, hundreds or even thousands of your
classmates are dressed in identical caps and gowns.
But some students individualize their appearance by decorating their mortarboards. Designs
range from a simple lettered message like “Thanks, Mom and
Dad!” to an elaborate craft project with images, glitter or 3-D
constructions. Other students
decorate caps with school logos,
or fraternity or sorority letters.
At the University of Texas at
Dallas last year, Laurel Mohrman
had a simple message on her

This 2014
photo provided by
The University of

Mohrman at her
graduation from
the University of
Texas at Dallas.
She decorated
the mortarboard
with the words,
“DEBT free,” to
celebrate her lack
of college debt.
cap: “DEBT FREE.”
A 2014 Lehigh University grad,
Lisa Glover, attached a miniature
3-D dinosaur to her cap; Glover
launched a business called
KitRex after graduating, selling
kits to make paper dinosaurs.
Nicole Malli, a senior at Ripon
College in Ripon, Wisconsin,
wants to make sure her cap photographs well when she graduates May 17 because she’s a
commencement speaker. She’s
been looking on Pinterest for
inspiration, and will probably
use a pearl design because pearls
are the official gemstone of her
sorority, Alpha Chi Omega.
Ali Boden, who is getting her
degree in sustainability and
business from Arizona State in
Tempe, will be taking a trip to
Europe after graduation and
hopes it’s the first of many trips
to see the world. She plans to
decorate her cap with a map of
the world and a phrase “along
the lines of ‘The world awaits,’”
she said. She’s been going to
Michael’s, the craft supply store,
to figure out the best materials
for lettering.
ASU even has a contest to recognize the best-decorated mortarboards.
Ruth Lauture is graduating
from Kennesaw State University
in Kennesaw, Georgia, with a
degree in marketing, “so my cap
is going to say, ‘I mean business.’
Something simple, but really
meaningful.” The word “mean”
will be in pink, partly to help her
mom pick her out from the
crowd.
Marc Goldberg’s mom had
such a hard time finding him at
his commencement from Indiana
University in 1997 that it
inspired him to create a business
called
TasselToppers.com.
Goldberg has now shipped several hundred thousand customized
mortarboard designs, which let
buyers choose background colors
and add images and text. There’s
artwork on the TasselToppers
website, or you can upload your
own. Universities have licensed
their logos to the company, and
some colleges are encouraging
high school seniors to put their
future alma maters’ names on
caps at 12th grade graduation
ceremonies.
TasselToppers’
finished
designs cost $15 and are printed
on durable plastic the size of the
mortarboard, with reusable
adhesives. That way, rented caps
can be returned undamaged, and
commencement policies that
don’t permit mortarboard decorations can be temporarily
accommodated.
Goldberg says he’s been
amazed at “the creative stuff that
people come up with,” including
touching messages “in loving
memory of a mom or dad who
could not be there. It’s a concept
that they’re looking down on
them at graduation and the cap
is looking back up.”
Also noteworthy, Goldberg
says, are designs ordered by
older students who may have
taken years to finish their
degrees (“49 years old, finally
done”); single moms declaring, “I

commencement in Amherst, Mass. Take a look around any graduation ceremony and you’re likely to see caps with similar messages of
thanks or expressions of individuality.
did it for my kids”; and designs
honoring students who are the
first in their family to graduate.
He also partnered with Autism
Speaks to include the organiza-
tion’s puzzle-piece logo on his
website so that students with
issues related to autism can add
that symbol to their caps as they
celebrate their achievements.
