Head Start commemorates 50th anniversary
Students and board members plant rose bushes
Special to the Banner
On May 18, 1965, President
Lyndon B. Johnson announced
Project Head Start from the
White House Rose Garden.
He made a commitment to
open a window of opportunity for
the nation’s most at-risk children
and their families. That summer,
an eight-week program was
launched, serving 500,000 atrisk children nationwide.
The program was a success,
and in 1966 Congress authorized
Head Start as a year-round pro-
gram. Today, Head Start has
served more than 32 million atrisk children nationally.
On May 18, Head Start programs across the country celebrated 50 years of opportunity
Head Start has provided by
planting rose bushes in front of
Head Start centers, at local
parks, or on city hall grounds.
In Cleveland and Bradley
County, rose bushes were planted in front of several centers. The
board of directors planted roses
at the administrative office. The
children also celebrated by creat-
ing roses as an arts and crafts
project.
Earlier this year, at the White
House Summit on Early
Education, President Obama
said, “Head Start is one of the
best investments we can make,
not just in a child’s future, but in
our country.”
Family Resource Agency has
been a part of this investment.
FRA currently provides Early
Head Start and Head Start services to more than 1,500 children
and their families in 50 locations.
These locations span over 10

Polk County got a jump on
surrounding
communities
Saturday morning with its 2015
Memorial Day service.
A moderate crowd of veterans
attended, along with a number of
Benton, Polk County and regional community leaders. The featured speaker was Disabled
American Veterans Commander
Bill Gray.
Polk County Executive Hoyt
Firestone, Polk County Veteran
Affairs Officer Ben Bright,
Benton Mayor Jerry Stephens
and Tennessee Rep. Dan Howell
were all part of the program.
The Polk County High School
chorus presented patriotic songs.
Gray provided an inspirational
and emotional talk as he and
others remembered the nation’s
veterans, especially those who
paid the supreme sacrifice for the
freedoms Americans enjoy.
“Freedom is not free,” Gray,
and others, emphasized.
Polk County High School’s
cheerleaders were nearby having
a car wash and bake sale, but
when the program began they
came across the street and
attended the patriotic service.
Gray, the commander of DAV
Chapter 25 in Cleveland, began
his talk with some disturbing
statistics.
“We no longer have any veterans from World War I, because
they’re all gone,” he said. “We’re
still lucky enough to have a few
veterans from World War II.”
There were a couple of these
veterans at the service.
“Somewhere in America today,
before the sun does down, a vet-
Bradley County was a land of
conflict during the Civil War.
There were pro-Union and proConfederate troops in the area,
with sympathizers for both
sides.
Due to these split sympathies
in southern Bradley County, the
area between the Union lines in
Cleveland and Confederate lines
in Dalton, Ga., was designated
as a “No Man’s Land” by some.
The historical significance of
this area will be recognized on
Saturday, June 13, when the
Tennessee State Historical
Commission will place a roadside marker at 7723 Dalton Pike.
This official dedication ceremony will take place at 2 p.m.,
and will be held at the site where
the marker is to be erected.
Jim Ogden, historian at
Chickamauga and Chattanooga
National Military Park, will serve
as keynote speaker. Bryan Reed,
chairman of the Humanities
Department at Cleveland State
Community College, will also
speak.
The marker, which former
Cleveland resident Tim McCoy is
sponsoring, commemorates a
distinctly difficult time in the
Civil War when part of Bradley
County lay between Union and
Confederate forces.
McCoy will also speak at the
ceremony, along with Melissa
Woody of the Cleveland-Bradley
County Chamber of Commerce;
Mary Ann Peckham of Polk
County and director of the

counties in two states. There are
four counties in Tennessee —
Bradley, Polk, Meigs and McMinn
and six counties in Georgia —
Catoosa, Chattooga, Dade,
Murray, Walker and Whitfield.
“Quality early education
makes good economic sense,”
said James Anderson, chief executive officer of FRA.
“These children [who have
gone through the program] have
higher levels of verbal, math and
intellectual achievement. They

April brought an increase in
the value of building permits
approved in the city of Cleveland.
Although the number of permits was down to 24 from 35, the
estimated value of the projects
increased by $3 million over
March numbers.
The largest project receiving a
permit was the Preserve at
Hardwick, estimated to cost
$6.46 million. The apartment
complex will be a three-story
building with 80 units on North
Lee Highway.
This project was one of four

The sweet, soft, gentle spirit
of Loma Mellie Stone Williams
has left us. She passed away
Thursday, May 21, 2015, at an
Etowah hospital as a result of a
four-wheeler accident.
Her family, friends, neighbors
and community will miss her terribly.
She had been married to
Frank Williams, her husband,
for nearly 65 years. She had
four children: Deborah, Dan,
Mark and Jeff, and their spouses, Terry Blair, Andi, Frances
and Kelly, who she loved as her
own children; her grandchildren:
Dustin, Savannah, Taylor, Toby,
Sadie, Kane and Maggie; and
her three great-grandchildren:
Laney, Lorelai, and Sawyer, who
added so much joy to her life.
She had special neighbors
who brought food (she loved to
eat!), checked on her and her
husband, dropped by for visits,
did chores for her and generally
enriched her life. The family
expresses its thanks to them.
She spent her last days doing
what she wanted. She went to
church, used her Mother’s Day
money shopping for new
clothes, attended her greatgranddaughter’s kindergarten
graduation, sat in her carport
talking with neighbors, gossiped
on the phone with her special
friends, planted her garden and
flower seeds, cleaned up her
yard and generally enjoyed her
life doing what she wanted to
do.
Her parents John O. and
Dovie Burris Stone; all her
brothers: Buck, Luther, Olice,
R.B. and Charlie; and sister,
Estelle Norris, have gone on,
except for her older sister, Theo
Yates, of Benton.
Her many nephews and
nieces appreciated her for her
sweetness.
She was born on Feb. 10,
1930, and grew up in Polk
County, working in the fields and
picking cotton.
She didn’t have a high school
education, but her impact is so
strong on her family and friends
that she changed many lives.
The funeral was conducted
Saturday, May 23, 2015, at
Higgins Funeral Home with the
Rev. Robby Hatcher officiating.
Interment will be at 2 p.m.
today in the Four Mile
Cemetery.

Congress passes 2-month
highway, transit aid extension
WASHINGTON
(AP)
—
Congress sent President Barack
Obama a bill to keep highway
and transit aid flowing to states
for another two months and prevent shutdown of summer construction projects.
The Senate approved the bill
by voice vote early Saturday; the
measure passed the House earlier in the week. Authority to
spend money from the federal
Highway Trust Fund, which
finances most aid to states, was
due to expire May 31.
It’s the 33rd time in more than
six years that Congress has
resorted to a temporary patch to
keep transportation programs
going, 12 bills specific to highway
and transit programs and 21
other more general measures
designed
to
keep
the
Transportation Department and
other government agencies open.
The repeated fixes are a reflection
of lawmakers’ continuing lack of
consensus on how to solve the
nation’s infrastructure financing
woes.
While Obama is expected to
sign the measure, White House
spokesman Josh Earnest urged
lawmakers to use the two
months to negotiate a long-term
bill
“After all, you hear regularly
from Republicans about the ...
economic benefits of certainty,”
Earnest said. “And in this case,
the economic benefits of certainty in terms of our infrastructure
investments would benefit the
job market and the economy in
communities all across the country.”
The uncertainty over whether
federal aid will be forthcoming
has cause several states to cancel or delay tens of millions of
dollars in construction projects
The trust fund relies on revenue from the federal 18.4-centsa-gallon gasoline and the 24.4cents-a-gallon diesel taxes, but
fuel taxes haven’t been increased
since 1993. Meanwhile, construction costs have risen and
the money the taxes bring in isn’t
enough to cover transportation
spending. Most lawmakers, however, are reluctant to raise the
gas tax, seeing that as unpopular
with voters.
Unable to find a politically
acceptable solution, Congress
has kept the trust fund teetering
on the edge of insolvency since
2008. The extension passed by
Congress would expire July 31,
when many lawmakers say they
expect to go through the same
exercise again.
Several top House and Senate
Republicans have indicated they
hope to find enough money to
put an end to the temporary
patches as part of a larger effort
to rewrite tax laws. But no bill
has yet been introduced and
broad tax legislation is notoriously difficult to pass even without the complication of finding a
transportation spending solution.
The White House earlier this
year proposed spending $478 billion over six years on transportation, a 45 percent increase over
current spending levels. The
administration proposes to make
up the gap between fuel tax revenue and spending with a onetime 14 percent tax on the estimated $2 trillion in untaxed
earnings that U.S. companies
have accumulated and parked
overseas. The tax is opposed by
industry. House lawmakers
introduce the bill this week, but
the measure has been ignored by
the GOP, which controls
Congress.
There is no shortage of other
proposals, including some with
bipartisan support. Reps. Reid
Ribble, R-Wis., Jim Renacci, ROhio, and Bill Pascrell, D-N.J.,
have introduced a bill that would
index fuel taxes so that they rise
with inflation and set up a bipartisan commission to find a longterm solution. Rep. John
Delaney, D-Md., has also proposed taxing U.S. companies’
foreign earnings, but at a lower,
Technical colleges get boost
from free tuition program
NASHVILLE (AP) — More than
9,000 Tennessee adults have
signed up for free technical college education under a new
statewide grant that covers
tuition.
WPLN-FM reports a program
called Tennessee Reconnect was
instituted by the state to help
citizens earn degrees. It also has
helped publicize the state’s 27
colleges of applied technology.
Students at technical colleges
earn certificates and degrees in
fields including welding, cosmetology and information technology.
Tennessee Board of Regents
Associate Vice-Chancellor Carol
Puryear says the program has
been successful for the schools,
which had been struggling to
achieve recognition among the
public.
Tennessee Reconnect’s executive director Mike Krause says
the tuition-free grant is ongoing.

Basketball court constructed at Arnold Watson: Local law
Youth Basketball Allstars, partners plan more outdoor facilities
By LARRY C. BOWERS
Banner Staff Writer
The Bradley County Youth
Basketball Allstars are teaming
with a number of partners to
improve outdoor recreational
facilities at all Cleveland and
Bradley County elementary
schools.
The organization’s coordinator, Bartlee Norton, and his
partner, Alphonzo Martin, initiated this project some time ago
when they constructed a new
basketball court at Bradley
County’s Taylor Elementary
School.
The project continued this
week with the dedication of a
second basketball court at
Cleveland’s Arnold Memorial
Elementary School.
“Our goal is to put one of
these facilities at every elementary school in the city and
county,” said Norton at
Thursday’s Arnold dedication.
The project will continue next
week with the start of a third
basketball court at Black Fox
Elementary in the county.
Arnold Principal Mike Chai
said the new facility is very welcomed at Arnold. It is placed at
the back of the school property,
away from the football field and
between Arnold and the nearby
Teen Learning Center.
Norton emphasized to those
in attendance that the kids
playing on this outdoor court
will go on to play in the youth
league, then later in middle
school and high school programs.
Cost of the construction of a
single basketball court runs
between $10,000 and $20,000.
It is paid by Bradley County
Youth Basketball Allstars and
its partners.
The organization raised
$5,173.84 for the Arnold facility. The Cleveland Rotary Club
donated an additional $4,500,
and there was in-kind assistance from Caldwell Paving and
Bradley Concrete. Volunteers
also assisted in the project.
Officials estimate the cost of
the Arnold basketball court was
around $15,000. This includes
planning, permits, landscaping
and all the incidentals that go
with such a project.
Norton said his organization
hopes to build at least two basketball courts each year.

Sheriff Eric Watson said the
thought of potential terrorism is
a top concern, but it is something about which area law
enforcement is being proactive.
The sheriff’s remarks came
during an address as part of the
“Food for Thought” program at
the Cleveland/Bradley Chamber
of Commerce.
Watson made the comment
after he was asked if there was
any concern about public unrest
of the kind seen in Ferguson,
Mo.,
or,
more
recently,
Baltimore.
“We don’t see that problem
around here,” Watson said.
“When a situation happens, you
have to get hold of it and get the
truth out. Social media ... these
people outside watching and
videoing everything ... a lot of
times it’s a proven fact they just
get half the story, and just tell
half the story. You can’t believe
half of what you see and hear.”
Watson said he does not see
the recent national events as
being exclusively racial in
nature.
“You see in Baltimore an
African-American mayor and an
African-American police chief,”
he said. “That speaks for itself.”
Three of the six officers
involved in the Baltimore incident are African-American.
Watson said the BCSO has
employed more minorities in the
department during the last eight
months, “than has been probably in the last 10 years.”
He also emphasized the
department’s aggressive actions
in maintaining communications
with the community.
“We have close-knit relations,
and I know if we ever had a
problem or situation, the community would back us up on
any decision or action we’d have
to take,” he said.
That is when the sheriff talked
about terrorist organizations
such as ISIS.
“I’m not trying to be funny,
but I think it’s coming one day,”
Watson said. “With the local
nuclear plants nearby, Wacker
coming in with chemicals ...
these terrorists know they are
there, just like we know they are
there.”
Watson said law enforcement
must be prepared for that kind
of situation, as unimaginable as
it may be.
“Within the last few weeks,
myself, [CPD Interim Chief]
Mark Gibson and both SWAT
teams met, and we’re starting
training together,” he said.
“Why did I do that? Because
we want to be prepared for anything that happens. We’re going
to be prepared,” Watson said.
“We need to know each other’s
resources.
Cleveland
has
resources we don’t have and [the
Sheriff’s Office] has resources
they don’t have.”
“We have to come together,
because at the end of the day
we’re going to be working
together if something like that
ever happens in Bradley
County,” Watson said.

commodities are prohibited and
could result in a fine, imprisonment or both.
Live forever through the
lives you’ve touched.
When life comes to an end, isn’t your true lasting legacy more about living on

memories that enlighten, encourage, surprise and even transform those who
matter to you. So ask yourself: How will you be remembered?

GRAAB to offer
new 12-hour
DUI program
By TONY EUBANK
Banner Staff Writer
The GRAAB Coalition, a local
anti-drug organization, has
announced the new DUI school
program will begin in June.
The 12-hour class meets the
requirements set forth by the
state of Tennessee and utilizes
the Prime for Life curriculum.
The 12-hour accelerated class
is currently offered once a month.
Additional classes will be added
accordingly.
Anyone may take the course:
DUI offenders, underage offenders and others. Also, parents may
enroll their teenagers to give them
an understanding about the hazards of drinking and driving. Fees
for this school vary.
“Prime for Life is an alcohol and
drug awareness program for people of all ages,” noted GRAAB
Coalition Executive Director
Tanya Southerland. “It is
designed to gently, but powerfully
challenge common beliefs and
attitudes that directly contribute
to high-risk alcohol and drug
use.”
“The program goals are to
reduce the risk for health problems and impairment problems.
We, as trainers, were required to
take this class and see it from the
perspective of future participants.
There are some very powerful
moments contained within this
curriculum,” Southerland said.
The PFL program is based on
objective research from many
fields and is designed with
respect for the thousands of people who take this program each
year. It does not moralize or dictate.
PFL emphasizes changing participants’ perceptions of the risks
of drug and alcohol use and related attitudes and beliefs. Risk perception is altered through the
carefully timed presentation of
both logical reasoning and emotional experience.
Instructors use empathy and
collaboration to increase participants’ motivation to change
behavior to protect what they
value most in life. Participants
are guided in self-assessing their
level of progression toward or into
dependence or addiction.
PFL also assists participants in
developing a detailed plan for
successfully following through
with behavior change. Multimedia
presentations and extensively
guided discussion help motivate
participants to reduce their substance use or maintain low-risk
choices. Individual and group
activities are completed using
participant workbooks.
“Will this change a person’s
attitude and help them rethink
their choices that led them to this
point? Only time will tell,”
Southerland said. “We certainly
hope it makes a difference in the
lives of our participants and they
come away with a better understanding of effects these decisions
have.”
Southerland noted, “This curriculum can be adapted for those
under the age 18. Our coalition
can use this as part of our community outreach with our school
partners. The youth adaption of
this program is very similar to the
adult program.”
She added, “We want our youth
to understand the potential the
negative choices might have on
their loved ones, friends or in
some cases complete strangers.
Ultimately, we would like our
youth to never travel down a path
of addictive behaviors. We believe

Ohio patrolman acquitted in 2
deaths amid 137-shot barrage
CLEVELAND (AP) — A white
patrolman who fired down
through the windshield of a suspect’s car at the end of a 137shot barrage that left the two
unarmed black occupants dead
was acquitted Saturday of criminal charges by a judge who said
he could not determine the
Cleveland officer alone fired the
fatal shots.
Michael Brelo, 31, put his
head in hands as the judge
issued a verdict followed by
angry, but peaceful, protests:
Outside the courthouse police
blocked furious protesters from
going inside while across the city
others held a mock funeral with
some carrying signs asking, “Will
I be next?”
The acquittal came at a time of
nationwide tension among police
and black citizens punctuated by
protests over deaths of black
suspects at the hands of white
officers — and following a determination by the U.S. Department
of Justice that Cleveland police
had a history of using excessive
force and violating civil rights.
Before issuing his verdict,
Cuyahoga County Common Pleas
Judge John P. O’Donnell reflected on the unrest. “In many
American places people are angry
with, mistrusting and fearful of
the police,” he said. “Citizens
think the men and women sworn
to protect and serve have violated
that oath or never meant it in the
first place.”
But O’Donnell said he would
not offer up Brelo to an angry
public if the evidence did not
merit a conviction.
“I will not sacrifice him to a
public frustrated by historical
mistreatment at the hands of
other officers,” O’Donnell said.
Brelo — who fired a total of 49
shots, including 15 while standing on the hood of the suspects’
vehicle — faced as many as 22
years in prison had the judge
convicted him of voluntary
manslaughter in the shooting
that happened after Timothy
Russell’s beat-up Chevy Malibu
backfired while speeding by
police headquarters.
Russell’s sister, Michelle
Russell, said she believed Brelo
would ultimately face justice.
“He’s not going to dodge this
just because he was acquitted,”
she said. “God will have the final
say.”
The U.S. Justice Department,
U.S. Attorney’s Office and the
FBI will review the testimony and
evidence and examine all available legal options, said Vanita
Gupta, head of the Justice
Department’s
Civil
Rights
Division.
After the verdict, sheriff’s
deputies stood in front of the
courthouse carrying clear shields
as protesters chanted “Hands up!
Don’t shoot!” — a rallying cry
linked to the death of 18-year-old
Michael Brown in Ferguson,
Missouri. One demonstrator
bowed his head, hands folded, in
front of the phalanx of deputies,
praying in silence.
About 200 people walked in a
mock funeral procession that
had already been planned to
mark six months since another
deadly shooting that sparked
anger in Cleveland: the killing of
Tamir Rice, a black 12-year-old
carrying a pellet gun who was
shot by a white rookie officer.
Protesters carried a black, plywood coffin and softly sang “I’m
going up yonder, we’re marching,
we’re marching.”
Some carried signs saying “I
Can’t Breathe” and “Freddie Gray
Lynched,” references to a pair of
deadly police encounters: the
chokehold death of Eric Garner
in New York City and the death of
a Baltimore man who suffered a
spinal injury while in custody.
The unusual timing of the verdict — a Saturday morning on a
holiday weekend — was intentional. The county’s top judge
said it was meant to prevent traffic issues downtown.

CSCC ‘very involved with service learning’
By LARRY C. BOWERS
Banner Staff Writer
Sherry Holloway, coordinator
for Cleveland State Community
College’s service learning program, was the guest speaker at
Thursday’s Cleveland Kiwanis
Club luncheon at the Elks Lodge.
Kiwanian Bob Donaghy, this
month’s program chairman,
introduced the speaker.
Holloway is a Bryan College
graduate.
She opened her talk by saying
the school’s service learning program and the Kiwanis Club are
kindred souls.
“They both work with teaching
and learning children,” she said.
Holloway said service learning
projects are good, civic-minded
programs CSCC students need
for graduation.
“It gives them a sense of civil
and social responsibilities,” she
said. “They (the students) are
developing planning and problem-solving skills, with networking opportunities that are out
there.”
Holloway emphasized that
these community activities are
required by specific courses and
programs.
The coordinator of the programs then discussed each of the
opportunities which are available
to Cleveland State students.
The programs include Forestry,
Wildlife and Fisheries, which is
connected with the Tennessee
Wildlife Resource Agency. There
is also a program called PhotoVoice, the Free Store, the literacy
garden at Bradley County’s
Taylor Elementary School, the
nursing department, the college’s
Computer Repair Shop and Early
Childhood Education.
Holloway pointed out that the
programs have many partners in
the community, including The
Caring Place, the Boys and Girls
Clubs, Junior Achievement, The
Salvation Army, the United Way,
Family Promise and even the
Cleveland Kiwanis Club.

ShERRY hOLLOWAY, right, was the guest speaker at Thursday’s Cleveland Kiwanis Club luncheon.
Holloway is coordinator of Cleveland State Community College’s Service Learning programs. She was
discussing the neat banners used to promote the programs with Kiwanis President Traci Hamilton and
program chairman Bob Donaghy.
She said she usually has a faculty member accompany her to
community meetings to assist in
explaining some of the specific
programs.
“Our faculty is very involved
with service learning,” she said.
She added that they are more
able to discussed the differences
of the programs.
“Many of our students continue with these programs after
they leave Cleveland State,” she
said.
She said some are hired to
continue with specific programs.
Holloway discussed a few of
the programs.
“The nursing department was
the first to embrace service learning,” she said, adding that it is
has been one of the more successful programs.
She said the Computer Repair
Shop provides free diagnostic
services for out-of-warranty computers and devices. She added
that the shop can make some
repairs if the owner provides
parts.
Kiwanis Club members were
very interested in the early childhood education program, which
sponsors the Dr. Seuss birthday
celebration each spring. The celebration had to be canceled this
year due to the fact instructor
Suzanne Wood had some health
issues.
The Dr. Seuss program is
expected to resume next spring.
The Kiwanis Club’s involvement is to purchase hundreds of
Dr. Seuss books, which are distributed to young students
attending the event. At last year’s
celebration, more than 1,000
students participated.
Several Kiwanis members at
the luncheon were impressed by
the banners which Holloway
used to promote the seven programs.
Other Kiwanis business:
— The club has released a list
of nominations for new officers.
The candidates will be voted on
at next week’s meeting.
— The Fitzgerald Foundation
has donated $1,000 to Kiwanis’
Eliminate Program, the global
effort
to
eliminate
maternal/neonatal tetanus. Dr.
Rodney Fitzgerald is a member of
the local Kiwanis Club.
— Pastor Ramon Torres provided his fellow club members
some information on Monday’s
Memorial Day holiday.
He said Memorial Day was
originally called Decoration Day
and was first held for fallen Civil
War veterans. He said the date
was selected because it is was
not a day of any one specific Civil
War Battle. It was first celebrated
in the state of New York in 1873.
He added that Tennessee honors the Confederate’s Civil War
dead on June 3, Jefferson Davis’
birthday.

Once the chase came to a halt,
officers reportedly searched the
vehicle and discovered a loaded
firearm and open containers of
alcohol.
The two suspects were arrested and are currently being

Free health clinic scheduled for July 11, 12 at Walker Valley
By LARRY C. BOWERS
Banner Staff Writer
A Bradley County/Cleveland visit by the
Remote Area Medical Volunteer Corps will be
happening in the community later this summer.
This year’s health care opportunities are
scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, July 11
and 12, at Walker Valley High School on
Lauderdale Memorial Highway. Services and
treatments are on a first-come, first-served
basis.
Prospective patients will be coming from
throughout the region, across the state, and
even from outside the state. There will be hundreds applying for the free dental, vision and
medical services.
The doors will open at 6 a.m. July 11, but preliminary planning will begin several hours earli-
er on Friday. Many people will arrive on Friday
afternoon.
In the past, people have slept in their cars the
night before to guarantee a place in line.
There will be no pre-registration, but numbers
will be given out beginning at 3 a.m. on Saturday.
The earlier arrival of many seeking treatment and
services is because volunteers may not be able to
serve everyone.
These free services are provided by volunteer
licensed health professionals.
They include dental cleanings, fillings and
extractions. Vision treatment includes eye examinations and free eyeglasses. Medical services
include diabetic screenings and education, PAP
smears, Rapid Result HIV tests, Rapid Result
Hepatitis C tests, and mammograms (Saturday
only).

Rockford-based, nonprofit, volunteer, airborne
medical relief corps that provides free health care,
dental care, eye care, veterinary services, and technical and educational assistance to people in
remote areas of the United States, and around the
world.
RAM was founded in 1985 by Stan Brock, who
worked as an assistant to Marlin Perkins on
Mutual of Omaha's “Wild Kingdom” TV show.
The group originally confined its work to Third
World countries, but later shifted to the U.S.
According to RAM, the organization has provided
$33,079,038 worth of free health care to 357,368
patients with the help of 36,675 volunteers since
its inception. Approximately two-thirds of this total
was inthe United States.
According to Brock, local licensing requirements
for doctors in many states prevent his group from
bringing out-of-state doctors to areas where their
help is needed. Tennessee is the only state with an
"Open Borders To Doctors" law on its books.
Special exemptions have enabled RAM to hold a
few clinics outside the state of Tennessee. One of
these — in Wise, Va. — was the largest RAM clinic
held to date.
Held from July 25-27, 2008, the three-day clinic
had 1,584 volunteers who provided 5,475 treatments to 2,670 patients. The total value of care
provided at this single clinic equaled $1,725,418.
RAM is funded through donations and relies on
volunteers from the community, as well as professionals
including
physicians,
dentists,
optometrists, nurses, pilots and veterinarians to
provide care in the communities it visits.
One reason there is such a wide range of visitors
to the Bradley County event is such services, other
than insurance pay or private pay, are limited in
many areas.

Two people chained to
Shell ship north of Seattle
BELLINGHAM, Wash. (AP) —
Two people have chained themselves to a support ship that is
part of Royal Dutch Shell’s
exploratory oil drilling plans and
currently moored in Washington
state.
Eric Ross of the Backbone
Campaign said on Saturday
morning that Matt Fuller joined
student activist Chiara Rose in
suspending themselves from the
anchor chain of the Arctic
Challenger,
which
is
in
Bellingham Bay.
Rose suspended herself from
the ship with a climbing harness
on Friday night.
The Coast Guard cutter Osprey
spent the night monitoring Rose
but took no action, Petty Officer
3rd Class Katelyn Shearer said
Saturday morning. “We’re really
most concerned for her safety and
the safety of everyone involved,”
Shearer said.
Ross said both Rose and Fuller
are fine and are not being
harassed by the Coast Guard. But
he expressed concern for Rose’s
health and said she must be getting dehydrated and tired after
her night above the water.
Authorities spoke with the
woman and asked her to remove
herself. “There’s no plans right
now to do anything further,”
Shearer said.
The ship isn’t scheduled to
leave the port for several days.
Rob Lewis, a spokesman for the
Bellingham activists, said they are
protesting Shell’s plan for Arctic
drilling. He described the Arctic
Challenger as a savior vessel that
is used in the case of an oil leak,
but said activists doubt its effectiveness at preventing environmental disasters like the
Deepwater Horizon explosion in
the Gulf of Mexico.
He confirmed that the Coast
Guard was not interfering with
Rose, but they had impounded
the activists’ support vessels.
Protesters in Seattle have been
demonstrating against another
part of the Shell drilling fleet.
Dutch Shell is using Seattle’s seaport terminal to house a massive
floating drill rig, the Polar Pioneer.
Last weekend, hundreds of
activists in kayaks swarmed
Elliott Bay to protest Shell’s plans
to drill for oil in the Arctic. The
protest was dubbed the “Paddle in
Seattle.”
Those activists have also
expressed concern about the risk
of an oil spill in the remote Arctic
waters and the effect of Shell’s
operations on global warming.

Mormon LGBT
group’s bid to
join parades
is denied
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — For
the second straight year, organizers of two of Utah’s most popular
parades have rejected a Mormon
LGBT group’s request to participate.
Organizers of the Days of ‘47
Parade in Salt Lake City and the
Freedom Festival Grand Parade
in Provo denied the bid by
Mormons Building Bridges to
take part.
Greg James, executive vice
president of the Days of ‘47, said
the parade committee’s decision
was based on its belief that
Mormons Building Bridges is an
advocacy group.
Rules for the July 24 parade
forbid advocacy of any kind,
“whether it’s a group you might
agree with or don’t agree with. We
don’t do anything that’s advocacy. This one is advocacy,” he told
The Salt Lake Tribune.
Organizers of the July 4 parade
in Provo did not immediately
respond to requests for comment
Saturday.
Both parades are operated by
private nonprofit foundations.
The Days of ‘47 parade commemorates the arrival of Mormon pioneers in the Salt Lake Valley.
Erika Munson, a co-founder of
Mormons Building Bridges, said
she believes her group’s message
of inclusion and love is consistent
with values espoused by the
Mormon church. She’s disappointed by the decisions.
Her group was founded in 2012
with the goal of improving relations between The Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
and the gay community. The
grassroots group, which is not
directly affiliated with the church,
is nonpartisan.
“We were hoping that last year
we really got a conversation going
and that this year, a lot of the
unwillingness to look at the LGBT
community as part of our community would fall away,” Munson
told The Tribune.
“I’m afraid that the parade
committees for Days of ‘47 and
the Freedom Festival are isolated,
which is a shame. These need to
be parades for all of Utah,” she
added.
In line with the Days of ‘47
Parade’s theme of “Pioneers —
Forging a New Frontier,”
Mormons Building Bridges had
proposed a “Utah’s LGBT
Pioneers” entry. It would have
featured six LGBT leaders from
business, education and public
service riding in an antique convertible.
The group’s plans called for
military veterans who are gay or
transgender to march in the
Provo parade.
Just another birthday
for Detroit-area
woman — her 116th
INKSTER, Mich. (AP) — A
Detroit-area woman turned 116
Saturday, but she offers no secret
for a long life.
“There’s nothing I can do about
it,” Jeralean Talley of Inkster said
ahead of her birthday weekend.
Talley will celebrate her birthday twice, including a party on
Sunday at her church, New
Jerusalem Missionary Baptist.
The Gerontology Research Group
considers her to be the oldest
person in the world, based on
available records, followed by
Susannah Jones of Brooklyn,
New York, who turns 116 in July.
“You’re more likely to the win
the lottery than to reach this age,”
said Robert Young of Gerontology
Research.
Talley bowled until she was
104 and still likes to catch fish. A

Las Vegas feels 4.8 quake 100 miles away DO YOU SNORE?
LAS VEGAS (AP) — A magnitude-4.8 earthquake struck a
rural area of southern Nevada
on Friday, shaking buildings
more than 100 miles away and
shutting down a busy Las Vegas
interchange as road-tripping
travelers were descending on Sin
City for Memorial Day weekend.
The U.S. Geological Survey
revised an earlier report that
pinned the magnitude of
Friday’s earthquake at 5.4.
The temblor hit at 11:47 a.m.
about 24 miles southwest of the
small town of Caliente, and most
of Southern Nevada felt it, along
with parts of Utah including St.
George and Cedar City, the
USGS said.
People took to social media to
report feeling the quake, but
those already on the Las Vegas
Strip appeared to take any shaking in stride, without any interruption to the gambling destination’s usual fun.
Caesars
Entertainment
Corp.’s 550-foot-tall High Roller
observation wheel was still taking riders on a slow spin after
officials
said
inspections
revealed everything had gone
according to the ride’s earthquake plan.
There were no immediate
reports of damage or disruptions at any of the casinohotels, but the Nevada Highway
Patrol reported damage to one of
the state’s busiest highway
ramps, near downtown Las
Vegas. The ramp from southbound U.S. 95 to Interstate 15,
part of the so-called Spaghetti
Bowl interchange, was shut
down while crews examined a
bridge joint that appeared to
shift.
The ramp reopened shortly
before 5 p.m. Friday after engineers determined it remained
structurally sound.

encasing the bridge seam, making it look much worse than it
was in reality,” Nevada
Department of Transportation
engineer Mary Martini said in
an news release. “Meanwhile,
the ramps remain structurally
sound and safe for travel.”
Nevada is laced with faults
and ranks third in the nation
behind California and Alaska for
earthquake activity.
Kara Rutkin, a publicist in
southwest Las Vegas originally
from California, said she was
working in her second-story
office when she felt Friday’s
quake and five to 10 seconds of
shaking. Some colleagues were
new to the feeling.
“It’s not typical to have these
out here. That’s why it took
everyone a minute to process it,”
Rutkin said. “I think it was just
more an exciting thing to be part
of it — as exciting as an earthquake can be.”

struck near the northeast

the largest the state has experienced in more than 40 years,
said Mickey Cassar, a technician
at the Nevada Seismological
Laboratory at the University of
Nevada, Reno.
Friday’s quake was shallower
than most, about 3.8 kilometers
(2.4 miles) below the surface, he
said.
“The shallower an earthquake
occurs, the more shaking there
is and the farther away it is felt,”
he said.
Several aftershocks, from
magnitude 1.0 to 3.8, followed
the larger quake.
Jacqueline Spute, administrative assistant at the Moapa Band
of Paiutes reservation about 40
miles south of the quake’s epicenter, said the quake felt like
“slow-motion rocking.”
Band officials were checking
dams and infrastructure, but
there were no immediate reports
of damage, she said.
St. George Mayor Jon Pike
said he was at work at a health
insurance company, sitting at
his desk, when he felt the quake.
“It wasn’t a violent shaking,
but I definitely felt like someone
was just kind of pushing the
building like it was made out of
rubber or something,” he said.

DC authorities: Ex-con had help in family’s slaying
WASHINGTON (AP) — An exconvict likely had help from others holding a family captive
inside their mansion for at least
18 hours, authorities said.
During their ordeal, the business executive and his wife told
others to stay away — even
ordering a pizza deliverer to
leave two pies at the door — as
they frantically arranged for
$40,000 in cash to be dropped
off at the home.
But once the money was left
on the seat of a red sports car in
the family’s garage, Daron
Dylon Wint struck and stabbed
Savvas Savopoulos, the CEO of
the American Iron Works company where he had once worked
as a welder, Wint’s charging
document said. At a court hearing Friday, Wint was ordered
held in jail on a murder charge.
Savopoulos’ wife, Amy, their
10-year-old son Philip and their
housekeeper Veralicia Figueroa
also were killed, and then the
house was set on fire with
matches and a flammable liquid.
The fire began on the queensized mattress where the boy’s
body was stabbed and burned,
authorities said.
Firefighters found the adults’
bodies in the next room.
Evidence shows the women suffered “blunt force and sharp
force trauma” before the $4.5
million mansion was set on fire.
Authorities linked what may
have been two different men to
Amy Savopoulos’ blue Porsche
911 the day of the killings. One,
“with short, well-groomed hair,”
was spotted driving erratically
away from the crime scene.
Another, wearing a dark hoodie,
was videotaped carrying a bucket near where the Porsche was
set on fire later that day.
The pizza gave Wint away. His
DNA was found on the crust of a
partially eaten slice of pepperoni, one of two pies ordered the
night of May 13 while the family
and the housekeeper were
“being held against their will,”
an affidavit said.
A woman believed to be Amy
Savopoulos paid for the pizzas
by credit card and told the delivery person to leave the food on
the porch, because she was
“nursing her sick child” and
would not come to the door, the
document says.
Wint, who was tracked down
by U.S. Marshals and arrested
Thursday night with two other
men and three women,
appeared in a white jumpsuit in
court Friday.
A court document said
authorities believe the killings
“required the presence and
assistance of more than one
person.” None of the people
detained with Wint were immediately charged with any crimes.
Wint is being represented by
Natalie Lawson, a public
defender. His defense argued
that authorities lack probable
cause, since a suspect seen
driving the Porsche had short
hair. Wanted posters issued
while Wint was a fugitive
showed him with long hair.
D.C. Superior Court Judge
Errol Arthur agreed with
Assistant U.S. Attorney Emily
Miller to deny bail, noting that
Wint was arrested with some of
the missing money, and that the
DNA from the pizza ties him to
the slayings.
U.S. Marshals and police had
tracked Wint to New York and
back before dozens of officers
swarmed a car and truck in the
nation’s capital, arresting the
whole group without a fight.
Wint’s record was cited as a
reason he should be held. He
was arrested three times for
assault in 2006 and 2007, serving a 10-month sentence in New
York, and then convicted of
assaulting a girlfriend in
Maryland in 2009.
In 2010, he pleaded guilty to
malicious destruction of property after he allegedly broke into a
woman’s apartment, stole a television, vandalized her car and
threatened to kill her infant
daughter. Also in 2010, Wint
was arrested carrying a 2-footlong machete and a BB pistol
outside the American Iron
Works
headquarters,
but
weapons charges were dropped
after he pleaded guilty to possessing an open container of
alcohol.
Acting District of Columbia
U.S. Attorney Vincent Cohen
said outside the courthouse
that prosecutors’ “work is not
done” and that they “intend to
unseal additional search warrants in the coming days.”

Freed from death row: ‘I refuse to give them my joy’
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — In
his first day free, after nearly 30
years on Alabama’s death row,
Ray Hinton said he kept asking a
question to his childhood friend.
“You just got to tell me we can
stay out tonight that we don’t
have to go in after an hour,”
Hinton said, referring to the hour
limit that inmates got on yard
time.
Hinton spent 28 years on
death row for two 1985 murders
that occurred during separate
robberies of fast-food restaurants
in Birmingham. He was set free
on April 3 after new ballistics
tests contradicted the only evidence — an analysis of crimescene bullets — used to convict
him decades ago.
In his first days off death row,
Hinton said he sometimes enjoys
just driving, relishing the freedom to simply move about as he
wants. He says he’s not angry,
crediting God for suppressing the
hatred that otherwise could
devour him “like a form of cancer.”
“I have too much to live for to
allow a bunch of cowards to take
my joy. I refuse to give them my
joy,” Hinton said.
“I’m at peace with myself. The
thing is, are they at peace? They
know what they did. They know
they lied 30 years ago. I feel that
every man that played a part in
sending me to prison, every man
or woman, whether the judges,
prosecutors, ballistic experts, or
witness, whoever — they will
answer to God. So I’m going to
enjoy my life the best I can,”
Hinton said.
Attorney Bryan Stevenson,
director of the Alabama-based
Equal Justice Initiative has called
it a case study in how poverty
and racial bias led to a wrongful
conviction.
Hinton was arrested for the two
1985 murders after a survivor at
a third robbery identified Hinton
in a photo lineup — even though
he was clocked in working at a
grocery store warehouse 15 miles
away. There were no fingerprints
or eyewitness testimony, but
prosecutors said at the time that
bullets found at the murder
scenes matched a .38-caliber
revolver that belonged to Hinton’s
mother.
His poorly funded defense
hired a one-eyed civil engineer
with little ballistics training to
rebut the state’s evidence. The
defense expert was obliterated on
cross-examination as he admitted he had trouble operating the
microscope.
Stevenson, who took up
Hinton’s case 16 years ago, said
an independent analysis showed
the bullets didn’t come from the
gun, and fought for years to get
the state to take another look at
the case.
A breakthrough only came
when the U.S. Supreme Court
ruled Hinton’s defense was so
deficient that it was unconstitutional. Prosecutors dropped plans
for a second trial when three
state forensic experts couldn’t
determine if any of the bullets
were fired through the revolver,
or even from the same gun.
“They took half my life and it’s
like they didn’t care. They were
willing to kill an innocent man,”
Hinton said.
“Thirty years ago, I had a judge
that stood up proudly and sentenced me to death. I had a prosecutor who couldn’t wait to get in
front of a camera and say that
they had took the worst killer off
the streets of Birmingham. But
come April 3, no judge was willing to say Mr. Hinton we apologize for the mistake that was
done. No D.A. was there to say we
apologize.”
During Hinton’s 28 years on
death row, dozens of inmates,
men he came to view as family,
were executed either by
Alabama’s “Yellow Mama” electric
chair or by lethal injection.
“The generator would kick in
when they pulled the switch. The
lights would dim on and off,”
Hinton said. Alabama for years
traditionally performed executions at midnight.
Five minutes after midnight,
the inmates would start banging
on the bars.
“We did that not knowing if the
condemned man had a family or
anybody back there in his support. We were just trying to let
him know that we were still with
him to the very end.”
He was arrested at age 29. He
turns 59 in June. When Hinton
went to death row, Ronald
Reagan was president. The technology of 2015 is “outrageous,”
he said.
After being released last
month, he got in a car equipped
with a GPS navigation device that
gave spoken directions.
“The lady said, ‘Turn left’ I
looked in the backseat and wanted to know where she was at,”
Hinton said, marveling at the
device.
After living decades mostly
alone in a prison cell, he has a
hard time with crowds. Friends
took him to a shopping mall, but
he had to leave almost immediately.

Senate clears White House-backed trade bill
WASHINGTON (AP) — In a victory for President Barack
Obama, the Senate passed
bipartisan legislation Friday
night to strengthen the administration’s hand in global trade
talks, clearing the way for a highly unpredictable summer showdown in the House.
The vote was 62-37 to give
Obama authority to complete
trade deals that Congress could
approve or reject, but not
change. A total of 48
Republicans supported the
measure, but only 14 of the
Senate’s 44 Democrats backed a
president of their own party on
legislation near the top of his
second-term agenda.
Obama hailed the vote in a
statement that said trade deals
“done right” are important to
“expanding opportunities for the
middle class, leveling the playing
field for American workers and
establishing rules for the global
economy that help our businesses grow and hire.”
Separate legislation to prevent
parts of the anti-terror USA
Patriot Act from lapsing on June
1 was caught in a post-midnight
showdown between a pair of
Kentuckians — Majority Leader
Mitch McConnell on the one
hand, and presidential hopeful
Rand Paul on the other.
McConnell favored renewal of
a program of bulk telephone collection by the National Security
Agency, while Paul was unyielding in opposition. “My filibuster
continues to end NSA illegal spying,” he tweeted.
By contrast, a two-month bill
to prevent a cutoff in federal
highway funding cleared with
ease as lawmakers covetously
eyed a weeklong vacation.
Senate passage of the trade bill
capped two weeks of tense votes
and near-death experiences for
legislation the administration
hopes will help complete an
agreement with Japan and 10
other countries in the Pacific
region.
McConnell, who was Obama’s
indispensable ally in passing the
bill, said it would create “new
opportunities for bigger paychecks, better jobs and a
stronger economy.
“The tools it contains will allow
us to knock down unfair foreign
trade barriers that discriminate
against American workers and
products stamped ‘Made in the
USA,’” he said.
A fierce fight is likely in the
House.
Speaker John Boehner supports the measure, and said in a
written
statement
that
Republicans will do their part to
pass it.
But in a challenge to Obama,
the Ohio Republican added that
“ultimately success will require
Democrats putting politics aside
and doing what’s best for the
country.”
Dozens
of
majority
Republicans currently oppose
the legislation, either out of ideological reasons or because they
are loath to enhance Obama’s
authority, especially at their own
expense.
And
Obama’s
fellow
Democrats show little inclination
to support legislation that much
of organized labor opposes.
In the run-up to a final Senate
vote, Democratic supporters of
the legislation were at pains to
lay to rest concerns that the legislation, like previous trade bills,
could be blamed for a steady loss
of jobs.
“The Senate now has the
opportunity to throw the 1990s
NAFTA playbook into the dust
bin of history,” said Sen. Ron
Wyden, D-Ore. He referred to the
North American Free Trade
Agreement, passed two decades
ago, and a symbol to this day,
fairly or not, of the loss of unemployment to a country with lax
worker safety laws and low
wages.
Like Obama, Wyden and others said this law had far stronger
protections built into it.
One final attempt to add
another one failed narrowly, 5148, a few hours before the bill
cleared.
It came on a proposal, by
Sens. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, who
supported the trade bill, and
Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., who
opposed it. They sought to made
allegations of currency manipulation subject to the same “dispute settlement procedures” as
other obligations under any
trade deal.
Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew
warned earlier that its approval
could cause Obama to veto the
legislation.
Portman, who was U.S. trade
representative under former
President George W. Bush,
scoffed at the threat. “I don’t
think so,” he said. “I think he
(Obama) understands the importance” of his ability to conclude
trade deals without congressional changes.
The bill also included $1.8 billion in retraining funds for
American workers who lose their
jobs as a result of exports. Sen.
Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., said the program duplicated other federal
efforts, but his attempt to strip
out the funds was defeated, 5335.
Allies on one bill, McConnell
and the White House were on different sides on the Patriot Act
legislation.
White House spokesman Josh
Earnest prodded the Senate to
accept a House-passed bill
renewing anti-terrorism programs due to expire June 1,
including a provision to eliminate
the National Security Agency’s
ability to collect mass telephone
records of Americans. Instead,
the material would remain with
phone companies, with government searches of the information
allowed by court order on a caseby-case basis.
But the bill was blocked on a
vote of 57-42, three shy of the 60
needed, and Paul then blocked
several bids by the majority
leader to pass short-term extensions of the current programs.
Finally, McConnell announced
the Senate would return on the
last day of the month — with
only hours to spare — to try and
resolve the issue.
The highway bill was the least
controversial of the three on the
Senate’s pre-vacation agenda,
but only because lawmakers
agreed in advance on a twomonth extension of the current
law. The House and Senate will
need to return to the issue this
summer.

A bird covered in oil flaps its wings at Refugio State Beach,
north of Goleta, Calif., Thursday. More than 7,700 gallons of oil has
been raked, skimmed and vacuumed from a spill that stretched
across 9 miles of California coast, just a fraction of the sticky, stinking
goo that escaped from a broken pipeline, officials said.
California oil spill harder to
clean up in choppy waters
LOS ANGELES (AP) — A 10square-mile oil slick off the
California coast is thinner than
a coat of paint and it’s becoming
harder to skim from choppy
waters, officials said as more
dead animals were discovered.
The combination of sunlight
and waves Friday helped evaporate and dissolve some of the oil
that blackened beaches and covered wildlife in thick goo after a
pipeline on shore leaked up to
105,000 gallons on the Santa
Barbara coast Tuesday.
Federal regulators ordered
Plains All American Pipeline to
drain the pipe that leaked, test
the metal in the damaged section of pipe, and complete a
series of steps before it can ask
to resume pumping oil through
the pipe to inland refineries.
“Before restarting operations,
we’re going to make sure they do
things right,” said Linda
Daugherty of the federal Pipeline
and Hazardous Materials Safety
Administration.
Investigators with the agency
are looking into the cause of the
spill and whether there was
something Plains should have
known about conditions in the
underground pipeline and factors that could have contributed
to the accident.
The spill is also being investigated by federal, state and local
prosecutors for possible violations of state and federal law.
The pipeline safety agency’s
corrective action order said the
10.6-mile line had recently been
inspected, but the results
weren’t known. Tests of the 2foot-diameter pipe in 2012 found
41 anomalies mostly due to
external corrosion, frequently
near welds, the agency said.
The company has said there
were no previous problems with
the pipe.
Plains said it could take weeks
or even months before investigators find what caused the disaster.
There’s no estimate to how
much damage the spill caused,
but a dead dolphin was found in
Santa Barbara Harbor and three
dead pelicans were recovered.
It’s not clear if the dolphin
found in the harbor, about 20
miles from the source of the
spill, died from exposure to oil,
said
Veterinarian
Michael
Ziccardi.
Two sea lions, an elephant
seal and six pelicans have been
rescued, said Ziccardi, director
of the Oiled Wildlife Care
Network.
Workers wearing yellow protective suits, rubber gloves and face
masks scrubbed pelicans with
toothbrushes in a soapy bath at
the International Bird Rescue in
the San Pedro section of Los
Angeles.
“Our goal is to get these birds
stabilized, to get them warm,
hydrated, comfortable and get
them washed as soon as possible
and then rehabilitated so they
can go back home,” Christine
Fiorello with the Oiled Wildlife
Care Network said in a video
interview with The Associated
Press.
The disaster, which led officials
to close Refugio and El Capitan
state beaches just before
Memorial Day weekend, was sure
to make more campers unhappy
as the state announced the popular parks and campgrounds
would be closed until June 4,
longer than originally announced.
Rough seas have made recovery efforts more difficult, and the
light sheen of oil was becoming
harder to skim off the surface,
said Rick McMichael, a Plains
representative.
Plains All American and its
subsidiaries operate 17,800
miles of crude oil and natural
gas pipelines across the country,
according to federal regulators.
Since 2006, four subsidiaries
of Plains All American have
reported at least 223 accidents
along their lines and been subject to 25 enforcement actions by
federal regulators.

eran will die,” the DAV commander emphasized.
Gray said statistics show that
less than 1 percent of Americans
will be celebrating Memorial Day
this year, the one day we pay
tribute to those who served in
our military and fought and died
for our freedoms.
“It’s a changing world,” Gray
told this reporter. “Many of our
young people do not know what
Memorial Day is all about.”
The DAV commander told a
story about a young Marine veteran he knew very well.
“This young man came from a
broken home,” he said. “He left
home and never returned.”
When the young man was 17,
he called his mother and asked if
she would sign for him to enlist
early in the U.S. Marine Corps.
“The only thing she said,” Gray
added, “was ‘maybe they’ll help
you to grow up and be a man.’”
The young man went through
basic training and went to
Vietnam when he reached his
18th birthday.
Seven days later, he was blown
up. He wasn’t killed, but very
severely injured.
The young Marine returned
stateside and went through more
than a year of surgeries and skin
grafts. He also lost an eye. His
mother visited him in the hospital one time only.
When he had recovered
enough to get out of the hospital,
he was destined to be discharged. He begged the military
to keep him in the service. It was
the only home he had ever
known.
He was released with $16 in
his pocket and had no home and
no where to go. But, he survived,
although he was disenchanted
with the military ... until he came
to Tennessee.
The young man made a career
for himself, had a family and
eventually joined DAV Chapter
25 in Cleveland. This membership was mainly due to the influence of a Cleveland neighbor who
was very active in local veteran
organizations. That man was the
late John Simmons.
Gray said it is very easy to tell
the story of the young Marine,
because he is that young Marine.
He said people tell him he does
not appear to have had such
serious injuries, that he does not

appear to be “170 percent disabled.”
“It’s not just on the outside;
it’s also on the inside,” he said.
Those attending Saturday’s
ceremony applauded Gray’s
story and his testimony about
himself.
They were relieved he is not
one of the names on the crosses
placed across the Polk County
Courthouse lawn. Those names
are for the Polk County veterans
who died while fighting for the
freedoms we all enjoy.
Gray said a Presidential
Executive Act was passed some
years ago, which designated a
time and a day when the nation’s
citizens were expected to stop
what they were doing, face to the
East (toward Arlington National
Cemetery) and say a prayer for
the nation’s war dead.
Gray asked those attending
Saturday’s program to do that
this Memorial Day.
He then acknowledged everyone who attended the program.
“You’re among this year’s 1 percent,” he said.
The Memorial Day speaker
also talked about the Vietnam
Conflict and how the fighting
began.
He also discussed a favorite
subject, the DAV. He pointed out
that every dollar donated to the
DAV is used for veterans. The
military organization is managed
entirely by volunteers, without
pay.

approved in April. Other projects
included two triplex units on
Fulbright Road and a restroom
for
the
Cleveland/Bradley
County Greenway.
Commercial permits brought
$15,280 in fees to the city.
Most of the projects approved
in April were for additions or
alterations to existing buildings.
According to the Development
and Engineering report, there
were 11 projects representing
close to $268,000 in value and
bringing in $1,559 revenue in
fees. Projects included residential
renovations and repairs as well
as a deck and a detached garage.
Interior renovations for businesses were approved for Wild
Onions on Stuart Road,
Prebiotics on Westland Drive and
Lendmark on Frontage Road.
Wild Onions is a family owned
and operated restaurant serving
“upscale sandwiches,” soups and
salads.
Cheryl Prince, who is handling
marketing, said her son Jeremy,
who trained professionally in
Chicago, is the chef.
“It’s different, but delicious,”
Prince said.
The name Wild Onions came
from the wild onions that grow
near the restaurant’s sign. The
restaurant will also feature a wild
onion side dish.
“Everything is handcrafted and
homemade, but it’s not like
grandma’s cooking,” Prince said.
The building needed some
exterior repairs and interior
redesign to be ready to open.
Prince described the style as
“rustic chic” with cedar wood
walls.
Nine residential permits were
approved for duplexes and single-family homes.
This was a decrease from 18
permits in March.
The April residential projects
represent $1.6 million in project

There were five land disturbance permits approved in April.
These permits generated $395 in
fee revenue.

The board had hired Wayne
Qualls of TEAMS Inc. to serve as
a consultant and facilitator in
the director search process.
Rather than narrowing down
the candidates through a series
of meetings and school visits as
some school systems have done,
Bradley County’s board chose to
narrow it down to two before any
public interviews were slated to
take place.
Lillios said Qualls had presented individual board members with candidates he had
found and asked the board
members to each have one-onone talks with candidates to see
whether or not they would
remain in the running.
It was done that way — oneon-one — to avoid violating open
meetings laws, Lillios said. He
added it also allowed Qualls to
recruit candidates who might be
interested in the director position, but might not want their
current employers to know.
That, the board chairman
added, allowed the board to
wind up with candidates “at a
higher level” in terms of their
experience and the titles they
have been able to hold.
“A lot of times, the people you
want are already employed,”
Lillios said.
While the final two candidates
come from other Tennessee
counties, he said three people
employed with Bradley County
Schools expressed interest in
becoming the director.
The search for a director
began following the board’s contract buyout of former director
Johnny McDaniel, who had originally been slated to continue in
the position until June 30,
2016.
The board bought out his contract in late February, after he
and the board both cited “differing opinions regarding how Mr.
McDaniel’s
administration
should operate the Bradley
County Schools.”
A provision in his contract for
unilateral termination without
cause meant the board would
have to continue to pay him a
monthly salary of $9,857, based
on an annual amount of
$118,285, and benefits through
the 2016 date or until he finds
“comparable employment” elsewhere.
The board is still paying his
salary, and it may soon be paying the salaries of two contracted directors of schools at the
same time — McDaniel and the
new director.
The board chose to omit the
buyout provision from the contract that will be offered to the
new director.
Instead, the board on May 11
voted on a new version of the
contract that includes a clause
that would allow the board to
demote the director.
The draft of the contract says
the board would be able to
“transfer” a director “to any
position within the system.”
Though he or she would still be
receiving the same salary and
benefits if demoted, the director
would be fired if he or she
refused to accept the transfer.
Things like the new director’s
salary and how long his or her
contract will be are still up in
the air, as the board plans to
negotiate those things with
whomever it selects.
Though McDaniel’s contract
was for four years, the board
has discussed the possibility of
making it a shorter duration.
“I would like to see the board
go with a three-year contract,”
2nd District board member Vicki
Beaty said.
Along with the potential for a
shorter contract duration, the
contract draft dictates the new
director may be required to conduct an annual strategic planning process in addition to being
evaluated by the board annually.
The board will be interviewing
the new director candidates on
Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. in the
board room of Bradley County
Schools’ central office off South
Lee Highway.

“In addition,” Anderson continued, “these children are more
likely to be employed, be healthier physically, have higher
incomes and less likely to be on
welfare.”
Early Head Start and Head
Start provide so much more than
education. They build a strong
foundation on which a successful
life is built.
Early Head Start and Head
Start provide free physical, dental and eye exams as well as follow-up treatment as needed. It is
believed that if a child is not
healthy all the way around,
he/she cannot learn. So proper
health screenings and care are a
must early in the enrollment
process.
Children are also fed breakfast
and lunch each day along with
snacks to provide good nutrition,
another vital component to
learning.
Early Head Start provides prenatal services to pregnant
women and children up to 3
years old. Head Start provides
services to children 3 and 4 years
of age. Family Resource Agency
also provides Pre-K services,
which are state funded to children who are 4 and 5 years old.

JACKSON, Wyo. (AP) — Two of
the most heavily used day-hiking
routes in Yellowstone and Grand
Teton national parks in northwest
Wyoming are closed for the time
being because of weather damage
and maintenance.
In Yellowstone, the iconic Brink
of the Lower Falls trail is closed in
the Grand Canyon of the
Yellowstone because of a mud and
rock slide that deposited a 7-by-8foot boulder on the route, effectively blocking the path.
In Grand Teton, the trail beyond
Hidden Falls to Inspiration Point
is closed and being rerouted so
crews can replace bridges over
Cascade Creek and rebuild the
rocky ledge trails and steps that
lead up to the popular Jenny Lake
overlook.

McCoy, when speaking with
the Banner this week, said he
was visiting Iceland at the time
of the call.
McCoy said during the Civil
War year 1863-64, military
forces of both sides were not the
only threat to local residents.
There were “lawless” individuals
in the area at the time.
The roadside historical marker, titled “Civil War ‘No Man’s
Land’” mentions the actions of
McCoy’s
great-great-greatgrandfather, Bradley County
pioneer settler Joseph Lusk II.
Lusk, who was 74 at the time,
defended his home and family
against a group who were
attempting to steal his few
remaining horses. The horses
were very important to the family and its ability to raise crops.
The sons were attached to the
Union Army.
Lusk was a well-known veteran who fought in the War of
1812.
He was an uncompromising
Union man, fearless in defense
of his political convictions and
property rights, and an excellent
rifleman. His courage and steadfastness had withstood numerous tests during the course of
hostilities in Bradley County.
Early in the war, the
of Jenny Lake in Grand Teton is

the half-mile stretch leading up to
Inspiration Point will be closed for

County. She died in Bradley
County in 1858.
Lusk and his family moved
into the Red Hill Valley of
Bradley County, approximately
11 miles south of Cleveland. He
spent the remainder of his life
there. He died in 1873 and is
buried with his wife and father,
Joseph Lusk I, in the family plot
on the old homestead.
Lusk’s Union sympathies were
probably inherited from his
father, who came to Bradley
County to live with his son late
in life. The father was a
Revolutionary War hero.
Joseph Lusk I was an ordinance sergeant for Capt. John
Sevier. According to old military
records, he enrolled at Sycamore
Shoals on the Watauga River, in
North Carolina, under Lt.
George Hart.
The elder Lusk was promoted
to captain, marched against
Maj. Patrick Ferguson in 1780,
and fought in the decisive battle
of King’s Mountain.
After the war, he moved to
Western North Carolina, and
settled
near
present-day
Asheville, where his sons were
born. He and his wife are
believed to have had at least
three sons. All are buried on the
old Bradley County homestead.
Prior to moving in with his son
in South Bradley County, he
lived in McMinn County for
about 12 years. The elder Lusk
died on Aug. 15, 1839, about
two decades before the start of
the American Civil War.

Confederate authorities of the
county issued orders to all
Union men to surrender their
firearms. A squad was sent to
Lusk’s home to take his guns,
but he showed so determined a
front they left rather hurriedly
without accomplishing their
errand.
When a band of guerrillas
raided his farm for the purpose
of taking his few remaining
horses, he killed one and put the
others to flight. They left the
horses and their dead companion.
This placed him in a dangerous position, as his opponents
were still in possession of the
surrounding country. A few
nights later a large party burned
his house and made a determined effort to find and kill him.
Shortly afterward, Union
forces moved in and he and his
family were protected.
During the War of 1812, Lusk
fought with the Tennessee
Militia, under the command of
Capt. John Hawkins, the namesake of Tennessee’s Hawkins
County.
Lusk was born on the old
Lusk homestead near the present site of Asheville, N.C., May
27, 1790, and lived there until
he was a young man.

INTERNATIONAL BRIEFS Islamic State militants in Palmyra’s museum
Myanmar president signs off on
contested population law
YANGON, Myanmar (AP) —
Myanmar’s president has signed
off on a law requiring some mothers to space their children three
years apart despite objections by
a visiting senior U.S. diplomat
and rights activists, who worry it
could be used not only to repress
women, but also religious and
ethnic minorities.
The Population Control Health
Care Bill — drafted under pressure from hard-line Buddhist
monks with a staunchly antiMuslim agenda — was passed by
parliamentarians last month.
U.S. Deputy Secretary of State
Anthony Blinken said he warned
Myanmar leaders during face-toface talks last week about the
dangers of the bill. On Saturday,
hours after the diplomat left,
state-run media announced
President Thein Sein had signed
it into law.
As predominantly Buddhist
Myanmar started moving from
dictatorship to democracy four
years ago, newfound freedoms of
expression lifted the lid on deepseeded hatred for minority
Muslims — including Rohingya
Muslims now arriving on
Southeast Asian shores in crowded, rickety boats.
Many are fleeing persecution
and violence that has left up to
280 people dead and forced
another 140,000 from their
homes in western Rakhine state.
They are living under apartheidlike conditions in dusty, crowded
camps, with little access to education or adequate medical care.
They also have little freedom of
movement, having to pay hefty
bribes if they want to pass police
barricades, even for emergencies.
‘Bold’ Ireland votes to legalize
gay marriage in landslide
DUBLIN (AP) — Ireland’s citizens have voted in a landslide to
legalize gay marriage, electoral
officials announced Saturday —
a stunningly lopsided result that
illustrates what Catholic leaders
and rights activists alike called a
“social revolution.”
Friday’s referendum saw 62.1
percent of Irish voters say “yes”
to changing the nation’s constitution to define marriage as a
union between two people
regardless of their sex. Outside
Dublin Castle, watching the
results announcement in its cobblestoned courtyard, thousands
of gay rights activists cheered,
hugged and cried at the news.
“With today’s vote, we have disclosed who we are: a generous,
compassionate, bold and joyful
people,” Prime Minister Enda
Kenny proclaimed as he welcomed
the outcome. Beside him, Deputy
Prime Minister Joan Burton
declared the victory “a magical
moving moment, when the world’s
beating heart is in Ireland.”
Ireland is the first country to
approve gay marriage in a popular national vote. Nineteen other
countries, including most U.S.
states, have legalized the practice
through their legislatures and
courts.
The unexpectedly strong percentage of approval surprised
both sides. More than 1.2 million
Irish voters backed the “yes” side
to less than 750,000 voting “no.”
Only one of Ireland’s 43 constituencies recorded a narrow
“no” majority, Roscommon-South
Leitrim in the boggy midlands.
Analysts credited the “yes” side
with adeptly employing social
media to mobilize young, firsttime voters, tens of thousands of
whom voted for the first time
Friday. The “yes” campaign also
featured moving personal stories
from prominent Irish people —
either coming out as gays or
describing their hopes for gay
children — that helped convince
wavering voters to back equal
marriage rights.
Many questions in Mexico
cartel battle that killed 43
ECUANDUREO, Mexico (AP) —
The call for backup went out to
local police after 8 a.m. There
was a shootout underway at a
ranch in the western reaches of
Michoacan state and the federal
authorities needed help.
One patrolman said he sped
with his colleagues from a town
20 minutes away and arrived at
the scene Friday to see bullets flying and military and police helicopters hovering overhead in
what would become the deadliest
confrontation with suspected cartel members in recent memory.
“It looked like a battlefield,” the
officer said Saturday, insisting
that on anonymity like everyone
at the scene.
The bloodshed at the ranch left
42 suspected criminals dead.
One federal police officer died
while trying to aid a wounded
comrade, government officials
said.
Investigators and human
rights officials continued to work
Saturday at the scene, where
patrol cars of many agencies
could be seen parked, and police
guarded all entrances to the
property, even dirt paths lead
onto the 112-hectare (277-acre)
property known as Rancho de
Sol.
Photographs from the site
showed the bodies of men without shirts and some without
shoes strewn over the ranch, in
an area near the Michoacan border with Jalisco state that is a
stronghold of the Jalisco New
Generation cartel, one of the
most powerful and fastest-growing organized crime groups to
surface in recent years.
The bodies, some appearing to
lie with semi-automatic rifles, lay
in fields, next to farm equipment
and on a blood-stained patio
strewn with clothes, mattresses
and sleeping bags. Video of the
battle obtained by The Associated
Press showed federal police officers coming under fire.
Nigerian troops kill extremists
as militants slay villagers
YOLA, Nigeria (AP) — Nigerian
troops killed scores of Islamic
extremists and rescued 20
women and children from captivity even as reports came in
Saturday of Boko Haram fighters
slitting villagers’ throats and
chopping them to death.
That bolsters reports the
insurgents are running out of
ammunition and resorting to hitand-run assaults in the face of a
Nigerian offensive against their
last stronghold, a northeastern
forest.
“Despite continuous encounters with large numbers of land
mines which still litter the
Sambisa Forest, troops have
forged ahead with the ongoing
offensive operations as scores of
the terrorists died in the assault
on their bases on Friday,” said a
statement from Defense Ministry
spokesman Maj. Gen. Chris
Olukolade on Saturday night.
Four Boko Haram camps were
destroyed in the assault in which
one government soldier was
killed and 10 wounded by land
mines, he said. Many insurgent
weapons, including armored
cars, were destroyed.
Islamic State group radio claims
Saudi mosque suicide attack
CAIRO (AP) — The Islamic
State group claimed responsibility for a suicide bombing at a
Shiite mosque in Saudi Arabia,
warning that more “black days”
loom ahead in a direct challenge
to the rulers of the Sunni kingdom.
Friday’s attack was the kingdom’s deadliest militant assault
since a 2004 al-Qaida attack on
foreign worker compounds,
which sparked a massive Saudi
security
force
crackdown.
However, this Islamic State
attack in the village of al-Qudeeh
in the eastern Qatif region targeted Shiites, whom ultraconservatives in Saudi Arabia regularly
denounce as heretics.
The statement on the Islamic
State group’s al-Bayan radio station, read aloud Friday night and
posted Saturday morning to militant websites associated with the
extremists, identified the suicide
bomber as a Saudi citizen with
the nom de guerre Abu Amer alNajdi. The station also identified
the attack as being carried out by
a new Islamic State branch in
“Najd Province,” referring to the
historic region of the central
Arabian Peninsula home to the
Saudi capital, Riyadh.
The mosque attack killed at
least 21 people and wounded 81,
the official Saudi Press Agency
reported.
Joyful Burundi refugees leave
disease-stricken camp
LAKE TANGANYIKA, Tanzania
(AP) — Hundreds of women, many
with children strapped on their
backs alongside their few belongings, sing melodious tunes
expressing their joy as their small
boats approach the ferry M.V.
Liemba.
“We are thanking God for leaving Burundi. Now we are in
Tanzania we are safe,” the
women sing in Kirundi,
Burundi’s official language, after
they boarded the ferry.
They are among a group of
about 600 Burundi refugees evacuated by the U.N. refugee agency
Saturday from a makeshift
refugee camp at the fishing village
of Kagunga, Tanzania.
The small town has hosted
thousands of refugees crossing
over from Burundi and now has
been hit by a cholera outbreak.
The refugees are being taken to
Kigoma where they will be bused
further inland to Nyarugusu, a
camp with better facilities, said
Celine Schmitt, a spokeswoman
for the U.N refugee agency.
DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) —
Islamic State fighters broke into
the museum of Palmyra, though
a Syrian official said its artifacts
have been removed and are safe
while the U.S.-led coalition conducted airstrikes on the group’s
installations near the captured
ancient town — the first such
reported attack in the central
province of Homs.
The Department of Defense
said in a statement that U.S.-led
coalition aircraft had attacked an
IS position near Palmyra, which
goes by the modern name
Tadmur, destroying six anti-aircraft artillery systems and an
artillery piece.
The Islamic State group captured Palmyra on Wednesday,
raising concerns around the
world they would destroy priceless, 2,000-year-old temples,
tombs and colonnades located in
the town’s south.
The strikes would appear to
help the embattled forces of
forces of President Bashar Assad,
which have had a succession of
recent defeats to IS group and
other rebels. But experts and
archeologists said the airstrike,
coming days after the group
overwhelmed the city, was too little too late.
“It is like closing the doors
after the horses have bolted,”
said Amr Al-Azm, a former
Syrian antiquities official and
currently a professor at Shawnee
State University in Ohio.
A picture circulated on Twitter
accounts of Islamic State supporters showed the black flag
used by the extremists raised
over the town’s hilltop Islamicera castle, a structure hundreds
of years old. Al-Azm said the fact
that the castle dates back to an
Islamic civilization may protect it
from the kind of destruction IS
members have inflicted on preIslamic heritage sites such as the
ancient cities of Hatra and
Ninevah in Iraq.
The group says the ancient
relics promote idolatry, but, it
also maintains a lucrative business by excavating and selling
such artifacts on the black market, according to antiquities
authorities.
One activist in the city of
Palmyra, who goes by the name
of Khaled al-Homsi because of
security concerns, told The
Associated Press that the militants smashed a statue in the
museum’s foyer — a replica that
depicts ancient residents of
Palmyra.
Maamoun Abdulkarim, the
head of the Antiquities and
Museums
Department
in
Damascus, told the AP that militants entered the museum in the
town’s center Friday afternoon,
locked the doors and left behind
their own guards. He said that
the artifacts earlier had been
moved away to safety.
“We feel proud as all the museum’s contents were taken to safe
areas,” he told reporters. But
Abdulkarim warned that the
Islamic State group’s control of
the town remains a danger to its
archaeological sites.
Al-Azm said he doubts the
museum was totally emptied
because larger pieces would be
hard to move. He said the museum also contained at least two
mummies, and carvings from the
nearby tombs, mostly dating to
the 1st, 2nd and early 3rd century
Al-Azm said he fears that the
“real looting” will take place at
the site itself, adding that the
group will take its time to recruit
local antiquities experts to help
in running the illicit trade. But
he worried that the Temple of
Bel, the majestic structure in the
heart of this desert oasis, will
ultimately be destroyed.
“It is the poster child of an IS
cultural heritage atrocity,” he
said, saying the temple in later
years was used as a church and
has walls covered in frescos.
Al-Azm said the only way to
save the ancient site is by driving
the Islamic State group out of the
town.
So far, the IS militants have
been primarily concerned with
consolidating their control over
the city, conducting house-tohouse searches for government
soldiers and pro-government
militiamen and, in some cases,
publicly killing those that they
find, according to activists and
government officials. They have
also restored electricity partially
to the town, and urged government employees to return to
work.
On Saturday, commercial
trucks were allowed to travel to
the city of Raqqa in northern
Syria, the self-declared capital of
the IS group, and they returned
to Palmyra with fresh produce for
the city that has been besieged
by the fighting since May 13, alHomsi said. The group offered
the truck drivers free fuel, he
said.
The Defense Department
statement didn’t specify where
the strikes took place. Activists
said they heard of no airstrikes
in the immediate vicinity of the
town, but that the battles
between IS fighters and government forces have continued in a
mountainous area containing oil
fields northwest of the town.
Aymenn
al-Tamimi,
a
researcher of Islamic militant
groups, said the coalition
airstrikes technically represents
an intervention on behalf of
Assad’s regime to expel the
group, adding that similar
strikes in the northern province
of Deir al-Zour, where IS is
advancing on a major regime military base, can be also perceived
as such.
Salvadorans rejoice as slain archbishop beatified
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador
(AP) — Archbishop Oscar Romero
was beatified by Roman Catholic
officials Saturday in an emotional ceremony elevating the oncecontroversial cleric to the ranks
of the blessed 35 years after his
assassination.
Underneath a rainbow halo
ringing the sun, Cardinal Angelo
Amato, the prefect of the
Vatican’s saint-making office,
called on the crowd of some
260,000-plus to rejoice in a
“feast of peace, fraternity and
forgiveness.”
“Romero’s spirit remains alive
and gives comfort to the marginalized people of the world,”
Cardinal Amato said. “His preference for the poor was not ideological, but evangelical. His charity
extended to his persecutors.”
Beatification is the first step
toward possible canonization,
although many of those who
packed the Salvadoran capital’s
Savior of the World Plaza and the
surrounding streets already
credit Romero with miracles and
refer to him as “Saint Romero of
the Americas.
Worshippers from across the
nation, many of them bused in
from the countryside, held up
poster-size images of Romero
and carried white and yellow
flags of the Vatican.
“They can kill the prophet, but
not the voice of justice,” intoned
pilgrims from the Our Lady of the
Assumption parish in a San
Salvador suburb.
“His words will remain for eternity,” said Marlene Sanchez, 26.
In life, Romero was loved by
the poor, whom he defended passionately, and loathed by conservatives who considered him too
close to left-leaning movements
in the tumultuous years ahead of
El Salvador’s 1980-92 civil war.
The archbishop was shot
through the heart by a sniper
while celebrating Mass in a cancer hospital chapel on March 24,
1980. The day before, he had
delivered a strongly worded
admonition to the U.S.-backed
military to stop abusing civilians.
Those words were read aloud
Saturday: “I beg you, I beseech
you, I order you, in the name of
God, cease the repression.”
The trigger man has never
been identified, and no one has
been prosecuted for the killing.
Alleged paramilitary death squad
leader Roberto d’Aubuisson, who
was named by a U.N. truth commission after the war’s end as
the mastermind of the assassination, died in 1992 having maintained his innocence to the end.
Romero’s beatification was
held up for years by church politics until then-Pope Benedict XVI
“unblocked” the case in late
2012, after it was determined he
had not been an adherent of revolutionary liberation theology as
many claimed. Earlier this year,
Pope Francis declared that
Romero was martyred out of
hatred of his faith, clearing the
way for beatification.
Although Romero still has critics in El Salvador and the
church, Saturday’s ceremony
constitutes official approval of
his legacy. Representatives of the
conservative Arena political party
founded by d’Aubuisson were in
attendance, as was his son, an
Arena congressman also named
Roberto.
“The beatification ... is a cause

for great joy for Salvadorans and
for those of us who rejoice at the
example of the greatest children
of the church,” Francis said in a
statement. “Monsignor Romero,
who built peace from the
strength of love, gave testimony
of the faith with his life, committed to the very end.”
U.S. President Barack Obama,
who visited Romero’s tomb in
2011, called him “an inspiration
for people in El Salvador and
across the Americas.”
“He was a wise pastor and a
courageous man who persevered
in the face of opposition from
extremes on both sides,” Obama
said. “He fearlessly confronted
the evils he saw, guided by the
needs of his beloved pueblo, the
poor and oppressed people of El
Salvador.”
At the sun-kissed square in
west-central San Salvador, officials presented relics associated
with Romero including the shirt
he wore the day of his assassination. Many observers admired
the appearance of the solar halo,
an optical phenomenon produced when sunlight refracts
through ice crystals in the
atmosphere.
Officials closed off about 2
square miles (5 square kilometers) of streets nearby to accommodate the crush of pilgrims.
Among the crowd were many
young people who only learned
about Romero through the stories of their parents, grandparents and church officials.
“He influenced pastoral work
to put itself at the service of the
people,” said 24-year-old seminarian Carlos Zavala. “I’m
incredibly excited.”

Woman found pushing dead
3-year-old son in swing
LA PLATA, Md. (AP) — A
woman was found in a Maryland
park pushing her dead toddler in
a swing, and authorities say she
may have been there all night.
Charles County Sheriff’s Office
said in a news release Friday that
police found the unidentified
woman in a park with her dead
3-year-old son in the town of La
Plata after receiving a call early
Friday morning. The release said
officers saw right away that the
toddler was dead, and that his
body showed no signs of trauma.
The sheriff’s office says the
child’s body was taken to a medical examiner for an autopsy and
the mother was taken to a hospital for a medical evaluation.
La Plata, a town of about 8,700
people, is located about 30 miles
southeast of Washington, D.C.
Fire on coastal Louisiana
oil platform extinguished
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A fire
that burned for more than a day
on an oil production platform off
Louisiana’s coast was extinguished early Saturday, the
Coast Guard said.
The fire was on a platform in
Breton Sound near environmentally delicate barrier islands off
the state’s southeast coast. It was
reported out around 6 a.m. after
firefighting crews boarded the
platform, Petty Officer Carlos
Vega said.
The fire had been reported at
2:50 a.m. Friday by an offshore
supply vessel that evacuated 28
workers.
No injuries were reported.
The Coast Guard reported that
a light sheen of oil near the site
appeared to be dissipating and
moving away from the Breton
National Wildlife Refuge on the
nearby barrier islands.
Vega said there were no
reports of oil reaching shore or
harming wildlife. Crews with
containment boom and skimmers remained on the scene
while cleanup and repair work
was underway. Authorities estimate that storage tanks on the
platform contain roughly 5,000
gallons of oil — well below the
platform’s storage capacity of
168,000 gallons.
Texas Petroleum Investment
Co., the owner and operator of
the platform, said Friday that a
compressor on the platform is
believed to have caught fire. The
cause was under investigation.
The platform, which was shut
down after the fire, is used to
gather some 90,000 gallons of oil
a day from a field of 50 to 60
wells in the area, David
Marguiles, spokesman for Texas
Petroleum Investment, said in a
Friday news release.
California governor pitches
amnesty on traffic debt for poor
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) —
Gov. Jerry Brown is proposing an
amnesty
program
for
Californians who can’t afford to
pay off spiraling traffic fines and
court penalties.
The push by the Democratic
governor spotlights growing concern among lawmakers and
court
administrators
that
California’s justice system is
profiting off minorities and lowincome residents.
Brown’s spokesman Evan
Westrup said the issue has
prompted discussions between
the state and U.S. Department of
Justice.
It’s not clear if the Justice
Department has launched an
inquiry into California’s court system. The department did not
return requests for comment, and
Westrup declined to provide details.
Advocates for the poor have
criticized California’s courts as a
pay-to-play system.
The state has suspended 4.8
million driver’s licenses since
2006 related to traffic fines. In
that same time, only 83,000
licenses have been reinstated.
California farmers agree to
drastically cut water use
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) —
California farmers who hold
some of the state’s strongest
water rights avoided the threat of
deep mandatory cuts when the
state accepted their proposal to
voluntarily reduce consumption
by 25 percent amid one of the
worst droughts on record.
Officials hope the deal agreed
upon on Friday will serve as a
model for more such agreements
with growers in the nation’s topproducing farm state, where agriculture accounts for 80 percent
of all water drawn from rivers,
streams and the ground.
“We’re in a drought unprecedented in our time. That’s calling
upon us to take unprecedented
action,” Felicia Marcus, chairwoman of the state Water
Resources Control Board, said in
announcing the agreement.
The rare concession from the
farmers is the latest indication of
the severity of the water shortage
in California, which is suffering
through its driest four years on
record.
California water law is built
around preserving the rights of
so-called senior rights holders —
farmers and others whose
acreage abuts rivers and streams,
or whose claims to water date
back a century or more, as far
back as Gold Rush days.
The offer potentially could
cover hundreds of farmers in the
delta of the Sacramento and San
Joaquin rivers, the heart of
California’s water system. About
25 percent of all California river
water runs through the delta,
according to the state’s
Department of Water Resources.
Some of the farmers made the
offer after state officials warned
they were days away from ordering the first cuts in more than 30
years to the senior water rights
holders’ allotments.
Missouri governor commute’s
man’s sentence for pot offenses
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) —
A Missouri man sentenced to life
without parole for marijuanarelated offenses is eligible for
parole Friday after Gov. Jay
Nixon commuted his sentence.
Nixon’s action means 62-yearold Jeff Mizanskey will be eligible
for parole immediately. Mizanskey
has served more than two decades
in prison after being sentenced
and convicted as a persistent drug
offender under a Missouri law
that’s since been changed.
His son, 37-year-old Chris
Mizanskey, said he was in awe at
the news and planned to go see
his father in the morning.
“It’s amazing,” Mizanskey said.
“To be able to talk to him, to be
able to sit here and have a conversation with him. To have my son
sit on his lap, for him to be a part
of his grandkid’s life, our lives, my
whole family. I mean really words
can’t even describe it.”
Jeff Mizanskey had two previous felony convictions for marijuana-related offenses when he
was sentenced in 1996 to life
without parole for a third felony
offense. At the time, the law
allowed a sentence of life without
parole for people with three
felony drug convictions and has
since been changed.
Police said Mizanskey conspired to sell 6 pounds of pot to a
dealer connected to Mexican
drug cartels. Nixon, a Democrat,
said in a statement that none of
the offenses were violent or
involved selling to children.
Mother pleads not guilty to
assaulting child on plane
HONOLULU (AP) — A mother
pleaded not guilty Friday to
charges that she physically and
verbally assaulted her 15-monthold daughter during an Alaska
Airlines flight from Anchorage,
Alaska, to Honolulu.
Samantha Leialoha Watanabe
allegedly cursed at the toddler,
smacked her in the back of the
head, pinched her and pulled out
bits of her hair during the May 3
flight. A passenger told the FBI
that Watanabe stuck a wad of
cash in the girl’s diaper, according to a criminal complaint filed
by the FBI.
Watanabe didn’t speak during
her arraignment Friday in federal
court in Honolulu. Her federal
public defender, Alexander
Silvert, declined to comment
after the hearing.
It’s not clear why Watanabe,
who lives in Hawaii, was traveling from Alaska.
A law enforcement officer who
was a passenger on the flight
said Watanabe cursed at the
child, telling her to shut up, the
court document said. He told the
FBI she hit the girl in the face
with a stuffed animal and
smacked her on the back of the
head so hard that the child’s
head snapped forward. The passenger “also observed Watanabe
pull bits of the child’s hair out
and pinch the child several times
while the child was crying,” the
document said.
It appeared that Watanabe was
under the influence of some type
of central nervous system stimulant, the passenger told the FBI.
As a condition of her release on
$10,000 bond, Watanabe must
enter a residential drug treatment program when space is
available, the judge said.
Naked man rescued after getting
stuck on Florida drawbridge
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP)
— Firefighters in Florida have
rescued a naked man trapped on
a raised drawbridge.
The South Florida Sun
Sentinel quoted witnesses as
saying the unidentified man was
walking across the Florida East
Coast Railway railroad bridge in
Fort Lauderdale on Friday morning when it began to rise, forcing
him to scamper to the top, about
100 feet up.
The man said he had been
swimming in the New River,
which flows under the bridge.
Officials from the Fort
Lauderdale
Fire
Rescue
Department said in a news
release that the height was too
much for their ladders, so two
rescue workers climbed the
remaining distance and secured
the man with a rope harness.
The bridge was then slowly lowered back down.
Police release surveillance video
in shooting investigation
OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — Law
enforcement officials on Friday
released surveillance video from
a grocery store that is part of an
investigation of an officerinvolved shooting that wounded
two men who were suspected of
trying to steal beer.
The video released by the
Thurston County Sheriff’s Office
in Washington state shows two
young black men walking into a
store holding skateboards.
Olympia Police Department
spokeswoman Laura Wohl said in
an email that officials have confirmed “that the individuals in
the Safeway surveillance are the
two suspects who were shot.”
One is seen leaving with what
appears to be a case of beer.
When confronted by a store
employee, the man tosses it near
her and the case breaks, splattering liquid on the ground. The
man then runs away.
Olympia Officer Ryan Donald
was among those who responded
about 1 a.m. Thursday to a 911
call from the Safeway store,
which was released by Olympia
police on Friday. In that call, the
store worker says her hand was
hit when the case of beer was
thrown at her.
Donald reported he was being
assaulted with a skateboard
before the shooting that injured
Bryson Chaplin, 21, and Andre
Thompson, 24. Police, who originally identified the two as stepbrothers, said Friday they are
half brothers.
At a news conference
Thursday, Olympia Police Chief
Ronnie Roberts said that while
the suspects are black and the
officer is white, “There’s no indication to me that race was a factor in this case at all.”
Missouri suspect in killing
of woman, teen son is dead
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A
man accused of holding his former girlfriend captive in a crate
at their home in western
Missouri then fatally shooting
her and her teenage son, was
shot and killed Saturday,
authorities said.
Law enforcement officers killed
James Barton Horn Jr., 47, at a
state wildlife area in western
Missouri, south of Knob Noster,
Henry County Sheriff Kent
Oberkrom said.
Authorities have been searching for Horn since late April when
he was charged in the kidnapping of 46-year-old Sandra Kay
Sutton. Prosecutors said Sutton
told police that Horn kept her in
a wooden crate off-and-on for
four months at their home in
Sedalia, some 90 miles southeast
of Kansas City, Missouri.
Sutton and her 17-year-old
son, Zachary Wade Sutton, were
found dead Thursday at a relative’s home in Clinton, about 45
miles from Sedalia, where she
had moved after escaping the
home she had shared with Horn.
Oberkrom said officers found
Horn hiding in a closet in an
abandoned building at the J. N.
Turkey Kearn Memorial Wildlife
Area, about 70 miles southeast of
Kansas City. He said officers
were led to the area by a tip they
received Saturday morning.
When officers told him to surrender, Horn threatened the officers with a handgun, said Sgt.
Bill Lowe, spokesman for the
Missouri State Highway Patrol.
Lowe said it was unclear if Horn
fired his weapon.
Lowe said the investigation will
focus on matching the weapons
Horn had with him with evidence
taken from the scene of the
Suttons’ murders.
Horn’s death was a relief for
the community, Oberkrom said.
“A lot of folks are very scared of
this individual,” he said. “There’s
a huge amount of relief.
Police say Horn, a former
Marine, locked Sutton inside the
box whenever he was leaving the
house. The box — 100 inches
long, 48 inches wide and 52
inches tall — was kept in a bedroom and contained a bucket full
of urine and feces along, with
several layers of insulation,
padding and sleeping bags, and a
small air hole.
Sutton escaped April 30 and
ran to the home of a neighbor
who called police. Horn was gone
by the time police arrived.
Police on Friday announced a
$5,000 reward for information
leading to Horn’s arrest.
Horn served about three years
in prison in Tennessee in the
early 1990s in connection with a
kidnapping and sexual attack.
Records also show he pleaded
guilty in 1997 in Mississippi to
unlawfully kidnapping and
abducting his estranged wife. He
was sentenced in that case to 12
years and 11 months in prison,
plus five years supervised
release.
Federal prosecutors sought to
extend Horn’s prison sentence by
having him certified as a “sexually dangerous” person.
Navy says pilot safely ejected
when plane went off runway
SAN DIEGO (AP) — A Navy
pilot safely ejected into San Diego
Bay on Friday when a training jet
went off the end of a runway after
landing at Naval Air Station
North Island.
Boaters rescued the pilot from
the bay that separates the Navy
base in Coronado from downtown San Diego, the Navy said.
The pilot was taken by helicopter to University of California,
San Diego, Medical Center for
evaluation and was released.
The pilot was training for aircraft-landing qualifications in a
T-45C Goshawk when the crash
occurred. Lt. Reagan Lauritzen, a
Navy spokeswoman, said there
was no one else aboard.
The downed aircraft could be
seen in the bay’s shallow water,
barely offshore from the base.
The Navy was working to lift the
jet out of the water.
The cause was under investigation.
The T-45C Goshawk is a tandem-seat jet used to train Navy
and Marine Corps pilots. The
downed aircraft was assigned to
Training Squadron Nine, stationed in Meridian, Mississippi.
Officials: Probe faults truck
driver in fatal bus collision
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The
California Highway Patrol faulted
a semi-truck driver Friday for a
fiery head-on collision with a bus
that killed 10, but officials said
they still don’t know why his big
rig veered across an interstate
median and into oncoming traffic, killing five high school students on their way to visit a college and a couple who had just
gotten engaged.
The underlying cause of the
crash is the FedEx semi-truck
driver, Tim Evans, 32, “allowing
his vehicle to travel across the
median in an unsafe turning
movement,” Sgt. Nathan Parsons
said. “He could have fell asleep,
he could have had an undiagnosed medical condition. We’re
unable to prove either.”
The April 10, 2014, collision
occurred in Orland, about 100
miles north of Sacramento. The
dead were five high school students from the Los Angeles area,
three chaperones, and the drivers of the FedEx tractor-trailer
and the bus. The bus was full of
prospective Humboldt State
University students heading for a
campus visit, and two of the
chaperones had been planning
their wedding.

FULLY RECOVERED from a back injury, former Walker Valley
standout Caleb Longley had a great season for Cleveland State
Community College this spring and has accepted an offer to play for
East Tennessee State University.
Longley bounces
back; ETSU bound
By JOE CANNON
Banner Assistant Sports Editor
After an injury during his senior football season affected his
baseball future, a former Walker
Valley standout has bounced
back and is getting an opportunity to continue his diamond career
on the next level.
“After I hurt my back in football, I didn’t let it heal properly
and rushed back for my senior
baseball season, and that affected
my draft stock,” explained Caleb
Longley, who had been told by
several pro scouts he would be
taken in the 2013 Major League
Baseball First-Year Player Draft.
“Not getting selected (in the draft)
hurt, but it made me more determined to work hard and come
back strong.”
He’s done just that.
After red-shirting his freshman
year at Cleveland State, the 6foot-2, 195-pounder was ranked
among the leading hitters in the
National Junior College Athletic
Association Region VII this past
season and drew the attention of
several four-year programs.
“I talked to Tennessee, MTSU
(Middle Tennessee) and Lee, but I
took a visit to East Tennessee
State Thursday and fell in love
with it,” explained Longley who
was tied for third in the Region
VII stats in both home runs (14)
and RBI (53). “When they put
together an offer that will fully
cover my going there, I immediately said yes.”
“I didn’t know much about
ETSU before I went up there
(Johnson City), but they have a
strong program with some great
facilities, and I really liked the
coaches,” stated Longley, who
has three years of collegiate eligibility remaining. “They came
down to several of our games and
ended up signing Jimmy
Strickland (a former Tennessee
Vol who came to CSCC to play
this past season) as well.”
A Tennessee Baseball Coaches
Association Super Sophomore at
Walker Valley, Longley finished
his high school career with 105
hits, including 29 doubles, eight
home runs and 75 runs driven in.
Despite being hampered by his
back injury, Longley’s senior
numbers included a .379 batting
average, a .461 on base percentage and a .558 slugging percentage with eight doubles and a trio
of homers in his 36 hits. He also
had a .667 batting average with
runners in scoring position that
season.

From Lee Sports Information
MASON, Ohio - The Lee
University fans waited and waited for the big hit that had ignited the Flames in five other wins
during the 2015 NCCAA World
Series.
The hit never came and neither did the big inning in the 62 loss to Fresno Pacific in
Saturday afternoon's championship battle at Prasco Park.
It marked the second straight
year that the Sunbirds defeated
the Flames in the NCCAA final.
Lee wraps up the 2015 season
with a 39-19-1 record. In its
final 19 games, the Flames posted an impressive 15-4 record.
After winning its pool, Lee
earned its shot at the national
crown with a convincing 6-1 victory over Palm Beach (Fla.)
Atlantic in Friday evening’s
semifinal round.
Fresno Pacific, another university headed for full compliance in the NCAA Division II
ranks next year, closed out the
season at 39-18-1.
Also a pool winner, the
Sunbirds earned the right to
face the Flames for the title by
scoring an exciting 4-3, 12inning victory over Oklahoma
Christian in Friday’s Final Four
round.
Unlike in the other five Series
wins earlier in the long week,
the Flames could never get their
engine running Saturday.
Siosi Poti, the only Flame
named to the all-tournament
team, singled to open the game
but was quickly erased when
Chris Adams drilled a line drive
at the Fresno third baseman. He
made a fine play and turned
right around to double off Poti
at first.
The Sunbirds jumped out to
the early lead. In the second
inning Preston Scott doubled off
the center-field wall and scored
on a single by Michael Hostetler.
The margin grew to 3-0 in the
third when Steven Lozier ripped
a two-run homer over the leftfield fence.
Lee cut the margin to 3-1 in
the fourth inning on a solo
homer by Ben Holland. The
Flames threatened to do even
more damage in the same frame
and had two men on base when

Blue Raider runners earn spot on Spring Fling podium
By SARALYN NORKUS
Banner Sports Writer
MURFREESBORO — TJ
Parker is no stranger to the grand
stage that is the TSSAA Spring
Fling track and field championships, especially after being a
part of Cleveland’s second place
4x100 meter relay team in 2014.
Parker can add two more trips
to the podium to his track and
field resume, a fifth-place medal
as this year’s 4x100 relay team
finished fifth and a seventh-place
medal for 300-meter hurdles.
“TJ is such a class act and has
been so much fun. For him to get
on the awards stand and, I suspect, break a school record in the
300 hurdles was just awesome,”
Cleveland coach Casey Price
commented.
Coming into his final event of
the boys’ track and field championships Friday evening, Parker
had one thing on his mind.
“I was just thinking that this
was the last race I would run as a
Cleveland Blue Raider. I wanted
to make sure that I left knowing
that I did some successful. I also
wanted to be up on that podium
more so for the younger guys, so
that they could see that it’s possible,” Parker explained.
The Raiders’ 4x100 team of
senior classmates Parker and
Stephen Cannon, as well as
freshmen Romeo Wykle and
Keegan Jones, were able to burn
up the track and run their best
race of the season with a time of
43.47. That time proved enough
to earn the team a fifth-place finish.
“We ran a really good race; in
fact, that is the best race we’ve
ran,”
Parker
declared.
“Obviously, we didn’t have the

CLEVELAND SENIOR TJ Parker (right) hands off the baton to freshman Romeo Wykle during the 4x100 meter relay at the TSSAA Spring
Fling championships Friday in Murfreesboro.
same team as last year with
Keegan and Romeo coming in as
freshmen. They are very strong
and very fast though. I’m excited
to see what they can do next year
as leaders on the team.”
According to the rankings leading up to the state meet,
Cleveland’s 4x100 team was
ranked 12th. Those rankings
proved worthless once the starting gun went off.
“There were so many people, in
so many heats, that came out of
the ‘slow heat’ that made it onto
the award stand. In that 4x100,
the team ran awesome, but we
were behind Beech, and I
thought we were getting hammered. Then I heard their time
and Beech ended up finishing
third. Our two freshmen and two
seniors was a pretty good combination,” Price explained.
Youth may be the biggest story
coming out of Spring Fling, as
Cleveland saw a number of freshmen post impressive performances in Murfreesboro.
“Benjedi (Casseus) ran a personal best in the 110 hurdles. He
ran a 15.97, which is great for a
freshman,” Price stated. “Romeo
and Keegan also got fully indoctrinated.”
For Parker, it is reassuring to
know that the Raiders will be in
left in the rising sophomores’
capable hands.
“They know what it feels like
and understand what it feels like
to be at state. Now they have the
chance to take some of the
younger guys under their wing
like Stephen (Cannon), Eric
(Goodwin) and I have. They’ve got
a very good eighth-grade class
coming up. Cleveland will be very
young, but they are going to do
some very good things in many
sports,” Parker declared.
Earlier in the day, Jones finished 12th in the long jump with
a jump of 20 feet, 2.25 inches.
Casseus finished 14th in the 110
meter hurdles
Senior Isaiah Beaty just
missed out on a medal in the
high jump, finishing ninth after
clearing 6 feet. Beaty also came
in 13th in discus, with a throw of
121 feet, 1 inch.
Coming into the state meet,
Cannon was ranked eighth in the
100-meter dash. A rough start
proved costly for the senior
though, as he finished 11th with
a time of 11.12.
“He had a terrible start coming
off the blocks. I knew right there,
especially at the state meet, that
two-tenths of a second can cost
you,” Price explained.
The Raiders’ 4x400 team of
Goodwin, Luke Stone, Cannon
and Jones closed out the night
with a time of 3:39.41, which
gave them a 16th place finish.
“Overall, it went pretty well,
and we did about what I expected,” the Cleveland coach commented.
Bradley Central sophomore Ty
Beavers was able to improve his
high jump performance when it
mattered. At the sectional,
Beavers cleared 5 feet, 8 inches,
while at the Spring Fling, he
improved to a height of 5 feet, 10
inches. That improvement
earned Beavers a 13th-place finish.
Bryce Nunnelly represented
Walker Valley in the 400-meter

THE TENNESSEE LADY VOLS celebrate after winning game three of the NCAA Super Regionals
between over No. 9 Florida State Seminoles at Sherri Parker Lee Stadium in Knoxville. The eighthranked Lady Vols will be making their fourth straight WCWS appearance.
Lady Vols punch ticket for WCWS
From UT Sports Information
KNOXVILLE — Eighth-ranked Tennessee punched
its ticket to the 2015 Women's College World Series
with a 2-1 victory over No. 9 Florida State on Friday
in Game 3 of the Knoxville Super Regional.
Tennessee will make its seventh appearance in the
Women's College World Series after previously making it to softball's grandest stage in 2005, 2006,
2007, 2010, 2012 and 2013. The Lady Vols have now
advanced in seven of their eight Super Regional
appearances and UT improves to 15-6 all-time in
Super Regional games.
The 2015 NCAA Women's College World Series will
be held at ASA Hall of Fame Stadium - OGE Energy
Field in Oklahoma City, May 28 to June 3. This is the
34th annual NCAA Division I Softball Championship
and the 25th time that Oklahoma City and ASA Hall
of Fame Stadium - OGE Energy Field will host this
premier college softball championship event.
Rainey Gaffin (17-3) dominated in the circle in
front of a packed house, fanning four over seven
strong innings with one run allowed. Gaffin outdueled Florida State ace and 2014 USA Softball
National Collegiate Player of the Year Lacey Waldrop
(28-7), who threw six frames with two runs allowed
and seven strikeouts.
Tennessee took a 1-0 lead in the first inning when
Megan Geer knocked an RBI double to right center
with one out. Geer sent a 1-1 pitch from FSU starter
Lacey Waldrop to the warning track, plating Gaffin
from second base.
The Lady Vols grew their lead to 2-0 in the bottom
of the fourth. With runners on first and second and
no outs, Shaliyah Geathers reached on a fielder's
choice and CJ McClain scored from third base after
FSU second baseman Ellie Cooper's throw home
sailed high.
The Seminoles got on the scoreboard in the top of
the fifth. With one out and a runner on third, Morgan
Klaevemann hit an RBI single to second base, plating
pinch hitter Victoria East from third base.
The seventh inning had everyone on the edge of
their seats. Gaffin struck out Victoria Daddis in an
eight-pitch at-bat. Then Gaffin sent Rylan Harvey
down swinging. Alex Kossoff kept the Seminoles alive
with a two-out single to second base but Gaffin shut
the door when induced a Morgan Klaevemann
groundout to second.
The Lady Vols bounced back from a 6-1 loss in
Game 2 earlier in the day. Friday's Game 3 win
marked the fourth time that Tennessee had bounced
back from a Game 2 loss with a Game 3 win to
advance to the Women's College World Series. UT
previously won Game 3 against Michigan in 2006,
against Hawai'i in 2006 and against Georgia in 2012.
Tennessee is making its fourth WCWS appearance
(2010, 2012, 2013, 2015) in the last six years and its
seventh in the last 11 years. All seven of UT's WCWS
berths have come under the direction of co-head
coaches Ralph Weekly and Karen Weekly.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — The
Southeastern Conference agenda
for spring meetings leans heavily
toward ensuring other leagues
don’t have any competitive advantage, either from satellite camps
or graduate transfers.
Coaches have grumbled about
outside competitors like Penn
State’s James Franklin and
Michigan’s Jim Harbaugh holding
football camps as guest coaches
in the SEC’s fertile recruiting territory.
It’s something the league
doesn’t allow its own coaches to
do elsewhere, though that’s subject to change if the SEC fails to
get the practice banned. Satellite
camps will be a hot topic when
the retiring Slive presides over his
final spring meetings next week in
Destin, Florida.
“We prefer our current legislation,” Commissioner Mike Slive
said Friday in an interview with
The Associated Press. “It gets
complex when that legislation is
not national legislation, so we
would like to see our rule become
national legislation. The real
question is if it doesn’t, what are
we going to do? That’ll be basically one of the primary subjects. I
don’t have an answer, but we
hope an answer will emerge out of
Destin.”
NCAA rules allow football programs to hold camps on their
campus, inside their state or
within a 50-mile radius of campus, but coaches can guest coach
at another school’s camp all the
way down to the high school level.
The SEC doesn’t want to concede a recruiting edge with a
practice also employed by Notre
Dame and Ohio State.
“We’ve tried to have a rule that
we think is sane and doesn’t
make it more intense than it
already is,” Slive said. “If the rest
of the country sees it differently,
we’re going to pay attention to
that.”
Also on the agenda will be the
SEC’s rule requiring schools to
seek waivers before accepting
graduate transfers for athletes
who have had significant off-thefield troubles.
It’s a subject that surfaced
when ex-Notre Dame quarterback
Everett Golson, who is from
South Carolina, was searching for
a new school. He considered several SEC schools before choosing
Florida State. The ACC has no
such restrictions.
“We had some general discussions with some of our institutions but we never had any formal
action taken by the league,” Slive
said of Golson’s recruitment.
Auburn athletic director Jay
Jacobs believes the policy on
graduate transfers needs to
change. He notes that no such
rule exists for undergraduates
with at least two years of eligibility
remaining, even when they’ve had
discipline problems.
“That doesn’t make any sense,”
Jacobs said. “It’s a double stan-
dard. We’re holding a group that
has proven that they can compete
academically at a high level (to a
higher standard) than a group
that we’re not sure about.”
Jacobs and Auburn will also
propose a rule counting statefunded scholarships against athletic totals for sports like baseball
and softball which typically have
to divvy up dollars to offer partial
scholarships.
“This is an unfair competitive
advantage,” Jacobs said.
Other topics Slive addressed
include:
—Paying full cost of attendance.
Alabama football coach Nick
Saban recently said that the
method could be “a nightmare”
where some schools manipulate
the numbers. Slive notes the
numbers are based on a federal
formula stemming from the Ed
O’Bannon lawsuit.
“We’re in an evolutionary period
and the end result is that everything isn’t necessarily going to be
the same for everybody,” Slive
said. “That’s a difficult concept for
them and it flies in the face of the
experience of our coaches and our
institutions for decades.
“The days of everything and
every rule being grounded in a
level playing field are gone.”

Irving tests knee with brace
INDEPENDENCE, Ohio (AP) —
Kyrie Irving plopped down on a
courtside bench following a brisk
workout and two team trainers
quickly went to work adjusting
straps on his new knee brace.
The Cavaliers, completely in
command of the Eastern
Conference finals, may soon be
closer to full strength.
Irving made some cuts and
drives while wearing a brace on
his left knee Saturday and the
Cavs said the All-Star guard is
questionable for Sunday’s Game
3 against Atlanta. While Irving
remains iffy, he hasn’t been
ruled out and that’s an improvement after he sat out Friday
night as Cleveland took a 2-0
lead with a 94-82 win over the
hobbled Hawks.
Irving aggravated tendinitis
during Game 1, and after visiting
renowned surgeon Dr. James
Andrews on Friday in Florida,
the Cavs rested one of their
stars. Cavs coach David Blatt
said Irving’s status for Sunday
will be a medical decision and
won’t be affected by Cleveland’s
seeming stranglehold on the
series.
“If he’s able to play, then he’ll
play,” Blatt said. “He’s a big part
of the team, and this series is not
finished. But if he’s not able to
play, he won’t. That’s the determining factor.”
Meanwhile, the Hawks lost
starter Kyle Korver, their best
outside shooter, for the remainder of the postseason with a
severely sprained right ankle.
It’s another damaging blow to
the Hawks, the East’s top seed
who were soundly outclassed on
their home floor by LeBron
James and the Cavs. Not having
Korver makes things even
tougher.
“He’s a huge part of our leadership, our fabric, our fiber,”
coach Mike Budenholzer said
about Korver, injured while
scrambling for a loose ball in
Game 2.
Atlanta has already been
diminished by forward DeMarre
Carroll’s
sprained
knee.
Nicknamed the “Junkyard Dog,”
he was supposed to be the one to
keep James under control. But
through two games, the
Cleveland superstar has taken
the bite out of Carroll and dominated.
James came within one
rebound of a triple-double in
Game 2, when he once again
carried his team the way he has
throughout his career. With
Kevin Love out for the postseason following shoulder surgery
and Irving not himself, it’s fallen
on James to pick up the slack by
rebounding more, handling the
ball more, doing more of everything.
And, as is usually the case,
he’s delivered. James is averaging 30.5 points, 8.5 rebounds
and 8.5 assists in the series.
“There’s no doubt we have to
do a better job defending him,
both individually and as a team,”
Budenholzer said. “We’ve got to
do a better job taking away the
passing lanes, a better job arriving on the pass and a better job
contesting shots. That’s really
not any different than what it
was coming into the series. But
as you see it, experience it, feel
it, hopefully we’ll get better as
the series goes on.”
The Hawks are running out of
time, and history is not on their
side.
James has been up 2-0 in a
series 14 times and he has
closed out all 14.
Although the Cavs have the
Hawks on the ropes, James
knows
they’re
dangerous.

rules restricting graduate transfers.
No decision yet on UAB football
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — UAB President Ray
Watts said he hasn’t made a decision on whether to
reinstate football, bowling and rifle.
Watts issued a statement Thursday saying that
he’s still talking with “various stakeholders within
the UAB community.” He said those meetings will
continue over the next week and he will make an
announcement by June 1.
UAB dropped the sports in December in a costcutting move. A study commissioned by the university indicates UAB would face an annual deficit of
about $3.2 million if those sports are brought back.
Alabama State Rep. Jack Williams said Thursday
UAB supporters have raised pledges of about $15
million if the football program is restored. A donor
was meeting with Watts to offer a $10 million guaranteed letter of credit toward a new stadium,
Williams said.
UAB’s National Alumni Society said in a statement
Thursday that it would contribute $500,000 over the
next five years if the sports are brought back. The
group said in a statement that the sports are “essential” to the university and cited a recent study commissioned by UAB.
“The report clearly shows that the programs are
feasible at a level that enables UAB to compete for CUSA championships and post season opportunities
with the current level of institutional support, combined with the public and private support that has
been and continues to be established by the Task
Force Fundraising Subcommittee,” the alumni association statement said. “Not only are the programs
financially viable with the combined institutional and
public/private support, they are vitally important to
current and prospective students, our faculty and
staff, and our community. Collectively, these sports
are financially supportable and they are essential.”
The Birmingham City Council has pledged $2.5
million over five years for UAB football if the program
is restored.
Wounded Hawks lose Korver for rest of playoffs
ATLANTA (AP) — Already facing a daunting task after losing
the first two games at home in
the Eastern Conference final, the
Atlanta Hawks were dealt another major blow Saturday when 3point specialist Kyle Korver was
ruled out for the rest of the playoffs because of a severely
sprained right ankle.
The guard was injured in
Game 2 while scrambling for a
loose ball. Cleveland’s Matthew
Dellavedova slammed into the
side of Korver’s ankle late in the
third quarter of the Cavaliers’
94-82 victory Friday night.
X-rays at Philips Arena were
negative, but a follow-up MRI
and examination at Peachtree
Orthopaedic Clinic confirmed a
severe high-ankle sprain. Korver
will be examined by a foot and
ankle specialist to determine the
best course of treatment, but
there’s no chance of him playing
again this postseason, the team
said.
“We will miss him,” Atlanta
coach Mike Budenholzer said.
“It’s very, very difficult for him
AP photo personally but more so for how
ATLANTA HAWKS guard Kyle Korver (26) walks off the court after much this team has done

our leadership, our fabric, our
Friday in Atlanta.
fiber.”
Budenholzer hasn’t decided
who will start Game 3 at
Cleveland on Sunday night. Kent
Bazemore seems the most likely
candidate, but he’s also the top
backup for small forward
DeMarre Carroll, who is dealing
with a sprained left knee. The
other guards on the roster are
little-used Shelvin Mack and
John Jenkins.
“Bazemore is obviously someone we’ll consider, who has the
potential to start,” the coach
said. “DeMarre and Bazemore
have played together. We usually
sub Baze in for Kyle early in the
first quarter, so they’ve played
together a fair amount. They’ll
play together more now, whether
Kent starts the game or not.”
The 34-year-old Korver was
selected for his first All-Star
Game this season and for much
of the year appeared on course
to become the first player in NBA
history to hit 90 percent of his
free throws, 50 percent of his
field goals and 50 percent of his
3-pointers.
But Korver slumped late in the
season, missing out in all three
categories. He continued to
struggle in the playoffs as
defenses clamped down, denying
him from many open looks.
Admittedly pressing to get off
shots, he was hitting just 39 percent from the field and averaging
11.1 points.
The Hawks already were dealing with Carroll’s ailing knee. He
was injured in the closing minutes of the series opener and had
to be helped off the court. While
he was able to start Game 2 (and
play more minutes than any
other Hawks player), he clearly
seemed to be favoring the knee
as he scored only six points.
Budenholzer said Carroll was
“still a little sore” but should definitely be able to go in the next
game, a must-win for the Hawks
if they’re to have any realistic
chance of coming back in the
best-of-seven series. No NBA
team has ever overcome a 0-3
deficit in the playoffs.
“I expect him to play. I expect
him to be good,” the coach said
of Carroll. “I don’t know that he
has a big impact on how we
decide who starts and who doesn’t start (in Korver’s place). But
obviously, him being healthy and
being able to play is pretty
important because Kyle will not
be able to play.”
Atlanta won’t get much sympathy from the Cavaliers.
Kevin Love is out for the playoffs with a shoulder injury and
Kyrie Irving has lingering knee
problems. The point guard didn’t
play in Game 2, but the
Cavaliers still romped behind
LeBron James’ 30 points.
Cleveland hasn’t said if Irving
will be able to play Sunday.
Korver is the second key
Atlanta player to sustain a season-ending injury. Forward
Thabo Sefolosha was hurt during an arrest outside a New York
City nightclub with a week to go
in the regular season. Sefolosha
maintains he did nothing wrong
and blames police for causing
his injuries.
“Injuries are such a big part of
our league and a big part of the
playoffs,” Budenholzer said.
“Everybody has to deal with
them, and we’re not any different. Of course, we’d like to have
everyone healthy and be at full
speed. That’s the ideal. But you
can’t spend too much time or
frustration thinking about it or
concerned about it.
“We’ve got to get our minds
right, get our minds focused. The
guys who are healthy need to get
ready to compete, ready to get
after it, and go play a basketball
game.”

Peterson, Braves sink Brewers
ATLANTA (AP) — Jace
Peterson’s single to left field
drove in Alberto Callaspo from
third base, lifting the Atlanta
Braves to a 3-2 win over the
Milwaukee Brewers in 11 innings
on Saturday.
Peterson hit the first pitch
from Brandon Kintzler (0-1)
toward the gap in left-center
field. Left fielder Ryan Braun and
center fielder Carlo Gomez didn’t
bother to field the ball as
Callaspo scored and Braves players raced out of the dugout to
swarm Peterson near second
base.
With one out in the 11th,
Kintzler

Callaspo.
Andrelton Simmons’ sharply hit
grounder hit third-base umpire
Chad Fairchild and bounced into
left field. Runners advanced to

Eric Young Jr.’s grounder to
Kintzler.
Luis Avilan (2-0) pitched the
last 1 1/3 innings for Atlanta,
including getting a double-play
with runners at first and third to
end the 10th.
Gomez led off the inning with a
double to center field off Nick
Masset. Gomez moved to third on
Masset’s wild pitch to Gerardo

before giving an intentional walk
to Ryan Braun. Avilan came on

fourth.
Milwaukee blew a scoring
chance in the ninth. Jason Grilli
gave a two-out walk to pinch-hitter Jason Rogers. Luis Sardinas

thrown out at first. Simmons
took the cutoff throw from
Markakis toward third base and

Sardinas slid back too late.
Milwaukee left-hander Will
Smith allowed one hit in 1 2/3
innings in his first appearance

Hamels, Phillies rough up Strasburg, snap Nats streak
WASHINGTON (AP) — Cole
Hamels said he wasn’t thinking
about a shutout as he kept
throwing zeroes against the
streaking Washington Nationals
on Saturday.
Hamels pitched eight sharp
innings, Ryan Howard homered
and the Philadelphia Phillies
roughed up Stephen Strasburg,
beating Washington 8-1 and ending the Nationals’ six-game winning streak.
“It’s a dangerous team, so
that’s the least of my worries,”
said Hamels, who had a shutout
going until giving up Ian
Desmond’s RBI double in the
eighth. “They can put up a run,
or runs, within seconds.”
Hamels (5-3) won his fourth
straight start, and has a 1.53
ERA during that stretch. He gave
up one run and five hits, striking
out five and walking one.
“Cole was just in control,”
manager Ryne Sandberg said.
“Very good attacking the zone.
Real good fastball. Mixed his
pitches well.”
Hamels hadn’t won four consecutive starts since a five-game
run in May 2012. He also
snapped his six-game winless
streak against the Nationals.
Strasburg (3-5) was chased
after 3 2/3 innings. He allowed
six runs and seven hits — over
his last three starts, he has been
tagged for 15 earned runs in 12
innings.
“Yeah,
it’s
frustrating,”
Strasburg said. “I’m not pitching
to my ability, but I’ve got to keep
grinding.”
Howard finished with three
hits and Maikel Franco had two
hits, including a homer, as
Philadelphia lost its second
straight.
Howard, who had an RBI double in the third inning, is now 10
for 26 (.385) with three homers
and five RBIs through six games
of Philadelphia’s 10-game trip.
“Just his the way he took the
at-bats, his approach, was the
vintage Ryan Howard I’ve grown
accustomed to seeing, especially
that home run that he hit,”
Hamels said.
Washington’s Bryce Harper
went 0 for 4 and slammed his bat
in disgust after striking out in
the ninth inning.
The Phillies got to Strasburg
for four runs in the third. A oneout double by Cesar Hernandez
put runners on second and third.
After Chase Utley’s grounder
scored Ben Revere, Howard lined
a double down the right-field
line, sending Hernandez home.
Strasburg quickly got ahead of
Franco, but the Phillies’ third
baseman hit an 0-2 fastball into
the right-center field seats, making it 4-0.
“They did a lot of damage with
two strikes,” manager Matt
Williams said. “He had a lot of
hitters at two strikes and
couldn’t put them away.”
Three Washington errors contributed to Strasburg’s exit in the
fourth when the Phillies added
two runs.
Howard homered to center off
reliever A.J. Cole to open the
fifth.

ASTROS 3, TIGERS 2
DETROIT (AP) — Lance
McCullers got Ian Kinsler to
ground into a triple play in the
fifth inning, and the Houston
right-hander went on to earn his
first career victory Saturday,
leading the Astros over the
Detroit Tigers 3-2.
Detroit led 2-1 in the fifth and
had runners on first and second
when Kinsler hit a grounder to
third. Jonathan Villar stepped on
the bag and threw to second,
where Jose Altuve relayed the
ball to first.
It was Houston’s first triple
play since 2004, and the Astros
followed that up by scoring two
runs in the sixth to go ahead.
McCullers (1-0) allowed two
runs and six hits with six strikeouts over six innings in his second career start.
The Houston bullpen did not
allow a baserunner. Luke
Gregerson pitched the ninth for
his 11th save in 12 chances.
Kyle Lobstein (3-5) gave up
three runs in 5 2-3 innings.
INDIANS 2, REDS 1
CLEVELAND (AP) — After Reds
manager Bryan Price was ejected
before the first pitch, Corey
Kluber threw eight effective
innings and led Cleveland over
Cincinnati for its fifth straight
win.
The Reds lost their seasonhigh seventh in a row.
Price was tossed by umpire
Jim Reynolds after the exchange
of lineup cards. They got into a
lengthy argument that carried on
as the Indians took the field —
the dispute likely stemmed from
Friday night, when several Reds
were upset with plate umpire
Manny Gonzalez’s strike zone.
Kluber (2-5) worked around
constant trouble, but recorded
his third strong start in a row. He
allowed nine hits, struck out
seven and didn’t walk a batter.
Cody Allen pitched the ninth
for his ninth save.
Tony Cingrani (0-1) walked
Roberto Perez to start the eighth.
Following a force play, Jason
Kipnis lined a double to left-center that scored Michael Bourn.
RANGERS 15, YANKEES 4
NEW YORK (AP) — Shin-Soo
Choo hit a go-ahead single and a
three-run homer in a 10-run
third inning that chased CC
Sabathia from his shortest start
in six years, and Texas routed
reeling New York, which has lost
nine of its last 10 games.
Shoo and Prince Fielder each
had two hits in the third. Fielder
finished with three RBIs and hit
his third homer in a two games.
The Rangers, who rode a
seven-run third Friday to a 10-9
win, won their fourth straight
and sent the Yankees to their
fifth loss in a row.
Garrett Jones, a right fielder
and first baseman, relieved for
the Yankees. In the first pitching
appearance of his eight-season
big league career, he worked
around a walk and a hit batter to
get the final two outs of the

pitched just 3 miles from Yankee
Stadium for Fordham, got the
win. Sabathia (2-6) allowed six
runs and seven hits in 2 1-3
innings.
PIRATES 8, METS 2
PITTSBURGH (AP) — A.J.
Burnett threw seven effective
innings to win his fourth straight
start and Pittsburgh handed New
York ace Matt Harvey the worst
loss of his career.
The anticipated showdown
between two of the top pitchers
in the National League never
materialized. Burnett (4-1)
allowed one run while striking
out a season-high 10 without a
walk.
Andrew McCutchen and Pedro
Alvarez homered and each drove
in two runs for the Pirates.
Harvey (5-2) lasted only four
innings, the shortest outing of
his career. He gave up a careerworst seven runs on six hits and
also threw two wild pitches,
matching the number he had all
of the 2013 season.
New York has dropped four of
its last five. Daniel Murphy had
two hits, and Ruben Tejada
homered for the Mets.
ATHELTICS 5, RAYS 0
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) —
Kendall Graveman gave up three
hits over six innings in his return
from the minors, Sam Fuld drove
in two runs and Oakland beat
Tampa Bay.
Graveman (2-2), recalled from
Triple-A Nashville to make the
start, struck out six and walked
two to help the A’s win for just
the third time in 17 games.
Oakland broke through for
four runs in the sixth. Xavier
Cedeno replaced Rays starter
Nathan Karns (3-2) with two outs
and gave up Eric Sogard’s RBI
single. After Mark Canha walked
to load the bases, three runs
scored on Fuld’s single that also
included two Tampa Bay errors.

TAMPA BAY Lightning goalie Ben Bishop, foreground, and defenseman Andrej Sustr (62), of the
Czech Republic, can’t stop a goal by New York Rangers left wing Rick Nash (61) during the third period
of Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals in the NHL Stanley Cup playoffs, Friday in Tampa, Fla. Nash
had two goals and an assist as the Rangers defeated the Lightning 5-1.
Bishop on spot after giving up 10 goals
NEW YORK (AP) — Take the spotlight off goaltender Henrik Lundqvist of the New York Rangers
in the Eastern Conference finals and put it on Ben
Bishop of the Tampa Bay Lightning.
If it sounds fickle, that’s the way it’s been for the
goaltenders in this series between two of the NHL’s
top-scoring teams.
Game 1 was tight checking. Two was a Lightning
blowout. Three was a shootout and the last one
Lundqvist stole for the Rangers with a 38-save performance in a 5-1 win that evened the series at 2all.
Lundqvist was special in Game 4 after giving up
12 goals in losing the previous two games.
Now the focus is on Bishop heading in Game 5 on
Sunday night at Madison Square Garden. The big
goaltender, who has a 10-2 career mark against the
Rangers, has given up 10 goals in the past two
games.
“I just don’t think you get here to this point in the
season and even into the playoffs without having a
goaltender, a guy that bails you out when you need
to be bailed out,” Lightning coach Jon Cooper said
Saturday. “Ben Bishop has bailed us out some
games. Have we bailed him out?
“Sure we have sometimes. But for the most part,
Bishop has been rock solid for us. Especially for a
kid that’s not played in an NHL playoff game before,
there is a brighter light on him, and all he’s done is
passed every test that gets sent his way. “
Like Rangers coach Alain Vigneault, Cooper had
no intention of switching goaltenders, calling the
suggestion “preposterous.”
Bishop didn’t play poorly in Game 4. The five
goals came on a breakaway by Rick Nash, a
rebound by Chris Kreider, a Keith Yandle shot that
went off a Lightning defender, and two power-play
goals, including Nash’s second on a rebound.
While not happy about giving up 10 goals in two
games, Bishop reacted much like Lundqvist after
his struggles. He planned to learn.
“You never want to give up 10 goals in two games,
but we did,” he said. “We’ll go back and look at it,
and adjust.”

Despite the Rangers’ margin of victory, the
Lightning had the better of play at times, particularly in the second period. The game could easily
have been another shootout had Tampa Bay buried
its chances.
“Every game is a new game,” Rangers forward
Martin St. Louis said. “The stuff that might work in
Game 3 might not work in Game 4, and it comes
down to making good reads sometimes and look
sharper at other times in games. Depending on how
you’re reading the rush or reading the play, do you
pull back or do you jump in a lot?
“You really have to be aware of everything that’s
going on the ice and making the best move you
can.”
Not only did Lundqvist rebound in Game 4, the
Rangers also got big games from Nash and St.
Louis. A 42-goal scorer in the regular season, Nash
got his first two goals of the series on Friday and St.
Louis scored his first of the playoffs this season
after failing to convert several outstanding chances.
“It’s a struggle when you’re not scoring,” Nash
said Saturday. “I think it tests you mentally, it tests
you emotionally. But at the end of the day it’s not
about you, it’s about the team and anything you
can do to help the team win. If the team’s winning,
you’re obviously happy and smiling.”
The Rangers’ also have produced on the power
play, getting two extra-man goals in each of the past
three games. They are 6-for-13 during that span.
“I think we’ve just got to play better,” Lightning
defenseman Braydon Coburn said. “There are a lot
of aspects of the game that go into playing defense.
Obviously, our penalty kill, we’ve got to make sure
we shut them down and defensively we’ve got to
pick things up.”
NOTES: Six of the Rangers’ last 12 playoff series
have been tied 2-all, dating to the Eastern
Conference quarterfinals against Ottawa in 2012.
New York is 4-1 in those series. ...New York has
allowed two goals or fewer goals in 12 of 16 playoff
games this year. ...Lightning captain Steven
Stamkos has scored in three straight games and
five of his last six.

Na regains sole lead at Colonial
FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) —
The last time Kevin Na took the
lead into the final round of a
tournament, he faltered badly.
For Ian Poulter, though he
laughs about it, there is that
anonymous survey of PGA Tour
players
done
by
Sports
Illustrated where he and Rickie
Fowler tied as the most overrated
player on tour.
Na and Poulter both have a
chance to change perceptions at
Colonial.
With a birdie on the 17th hole
Saturday, after the pair played
from almost the same spot, Na
regained the outright lead for a
one-stroke advantage over
Poulter going into the final round
at a very damp Hogan’s Alley.
“When it comes to crunch
time, you’ve got to trust your
stroke and just stay in the
moment,” Na said when asked
about a chance for his second
PGA Tour victory Sunday.
At The Players Championship
three years ago, Na led after 54
holes before closing with a 76. He
shared the second-round leading
there this month before Fowler’s
victory that Poulter eluded to this
week.
“Rickie went out there and
obviously made amends,” Poulter
said, referring to the SI survey.
Na shot a 1-under 69 on
Saturday, a round that included
a couple of bogeys, to reach 11under 199. Poulter had a 68.
Poulter made a 30-foot birdie
putt on No. 7 for a share of the
lead at 10 under. He was still
part of the lead after a sand save
at No. 9, where he blasted to 6
feet from a bunker to save par.
But he dropped out of a lead
after starting the back nine with
a four-putt double bogey from 16
feet at No. 10. A 3-footer on his
third putt doing a U-turn around
the cup without going in, though
he got one of those strokes back
with a 6-foot birdie putt at the
635-yard 11th.
Poulter got even again with a
32-foot birdie putt at No. 15, the
same hole Na two-putted from 6
feet after his approach missed
the green.
“Pleased with how I played,
just a little mishap there on 10,”
Poulter said. “It didn’t break, and
then a few more putts it took to
get in the hole.”

third round of the Colonial golf tournament, Saturday in Fort Worth, Texas.
With their golf balls close to
each other on the 17th green,
Poulter had a 15-foot birdie try
that slid by the hole. But Na then
made his 14-footer after watching no break in Poulter’s putt.
“I trusted my read, a little outside right and it turned nicely
into the hole,” Na said. “It was
nice because I was under par
going into the last hole.”
With the leaders teeing off at
9:10 a.m., and playing in threesomes instead of the normal
weekend twosomes, play was
completed about 2 p.m.
Saturday. That was about 3 1/2
hours earlier than usual for a
weekend round for Colonial leaders.
PGA Tour officials moved up
play because of the threat of
severe afternoon storms. There
were overcast and muggy conditions, with some light rain but no
delays. Heavy rain was forecast
overnight and into Sunday, with
plans again for threesomes and
early tee times off both Nos. 1
and 10 for the final round.
Charley Hoffman has third at
9 under after a 66. Chris Kirk, a
two-time PGA Tour winner last
season, had a 65 for the best
round of the day and was tied for
fourth at 8 under with Brandt
Snedeker (66).
Defending champion Adam
Scott carded his second consecutive 66 since an opening 72. He
was tied for 10th at 6 under in a
group that included Jordan
Spieth, the 21-year-old Masters
champion from Dallas playing
the first of consecutive weeks at
home in North Texas.
Spieth, the first-round coleader after a 64, followed his
second-round 73 with a 67.

Montgomerie leads Senior PGA
FRENCH LICK, Ind. (AP) — Colin
Montgomerie was long considered one of the
best players in golf who had never won a
major championship.
As a senior, he has said no more.
Montgomerie shot a 2-under 70 on
Saturday on The Pete Dye Course at French
Lick Resort to take a three-shot lead into the
final round of the Senior PGA Championship.
At 5-under 211, the 51-year-old Scot was
in position to win his third senior major
championship in a year. He won the Senior
PGA last year at Harbor Shores in Michigan,
and took the U.S. Senior Open in July in
Oklahoma.
“It was frustrating to come to these championships and walk off with the runner-ups’
medal,” Montgomerie said. “I’ve done that five
times. You try your damnedest and you come
up a shot light.
“I’m more relaxed now. I’m more relaxed
than I was. My temperament is more consis-
tent and I think that’s helping. I’m enjoying it,
I really am. I’m a great believer that if you
enjoy something, you’re usually quite good at
it.”
Bernhard Langer, a four-time winner in
senior majors, was second after a 68. He
eagled the 415-yard, par-4 eighth hole and
closed with consecutive birdies after a bogey
at the par-5 16th.
Montgomerie and Langer will play in the
final twosome Sunday, just like they did last
year at Harbor Shores, when Montgomerie
shot a 65 and won by four.
Scott Verplank, Esteban Toledo and Brian
Henninger were tied for third at 1 under.
Verplank shot 70, Toledo 73, and Henninger
74.
Henninger made a triple bogey on the 16th
to drop out of a share of the lead. His second
shot on the 539-yard hole darted right, into
deep, deep rough and he had to declare his
ball lost.
Second-round leader Tom Lehman had a
79 to drop into a tie for 13th at 2 over.
“I just didn’t make them,” said Lehman,
who had three three-putts and 34 putts in all.
Langer was fortified by his birdie-birdie finish, but he wondered what might have been
after hitting a wedge from 80 yards over the
green at 16 and making bogey and missing a
couple short putts.
“I had two of the worst lip-outs ever in my
life,” Langer said. “On No. 3, I hit a putt that
went in on the left, went all the way around
and came back out this way. So it went 460
degrees.”
Thirty of the 76 players who made the cut
shot par or better on a sunny Saturday with
a tricky wind. Eleven players go into the final
round within six shots of Montgomerie.
“I am where I am. I would rather be leading
by eight, but I’m not,” said one of them,

Andretti family brushes off so-called Indy curse
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The
roar rose from the crowd with the
simple introduction of one of the
Indianapolis 500’s all-time stars.
“The great Mario Andretti!”
With that, thousands of fans
before Friday’s final race practice
stood at Indianapolis Motor
Speedway and went wild for the
patriarch of one of racing’s most
storied families.
Some, with a deep appreciation of Indy’s history, chanted his
name. But as “Mario! Mario!”
filled pockets at the speedway, it
was easy to wonder if he was recognized as much for what his
family symbolized in failure at
Indy more than his Hall of Fame
career loaded with more than
100 victories.
The Andretti name has long
been known at Indy as much for
a curse than for championships.
The Andretti Curse is one of
the most infamous curses in
sports, up on the leaderboard
with The Curse of The Bambino
and Chicago’s billy goat. The socalled curse is as much a part of
Indy’s lore as the singing of
“Back Home Again in Indiana”
and a pork tenderloin sandwich.
Must be tough coming to Indy
with that kind of legacy, right
Mario?
“We always look forward to it
like you cannot imagine,” he
said.
The Andrettis brush aside talk
of curses or bad luck, even
though Mario’s 1969 victory is
the lone one for a family driver.
There have been crashes,
mechanical ills and just about
every kind of fateful twist to keep
either from winning the world’s
richest and most prestigious
race.
Mario’s son, Michael, had it
the worst, leading 431 laps in 16
career starts without ever getting
the chance to swig that championship milk.
Marco Andretti, a third-generation driver, is 0 for 9 in “The
Greatest Spectacle in Racing.”
“I think we’ve been blessed,
man,” Marco said. “We’ve had a
ton of podiums, a ton of runnerup finishes as a family and we’re
not done. I don’t think we’re
cursed.”
And Michael Andretti has
reaped the spoils of team ownership, winning with Dan Wheldon
(2005) and Dario Franchitti
(2007). He’s the reigning series
owner champion after Ryan
Hunter-Reay captured the
checkered flag last season for
Andretti Autosport.
Really now, that’s a curse?
“Sounds like he’s struggling,”
Marco cracked.
With IndyCar starved for
attention outside of May for
something more than misfortune, an Andretti in Victory Lane
could help ignite casual fan
interest. Danicamania is so
2005. How does Marcomania
sound?
“It would mean the world to me
and the family,” Marco said. “I
think it would be great for the
fans as well to bring an Andretti
back. And an American.”
Hunter-Reay’s victory was the
first for an American since Sam
Hornish Jr. in 2006.
The Hornish win — and Marco
loss — still stings for Andretti.
Marco was a rookie in 2006
and nearly needed just one
chance to win the race his father
couldn’t during a lengthy career.
He surged to the lead in the closing laps — passing his father, of
all people.
Hornish got around Michael
and quickly closed Marco’s seemingly insurmountable gap.
Hornish roared back on the final
trip around the 2 1/2-mile oval,
putting himself in perfect position off the final turn to blow by
Andretti coming down the long
straightaway.
Hornish won by a little more
than a car length — just 0.064
seconds, and Marco and Michael
settled for second and third.
Curses that day likely only
came out of their mouths for
being foiled again.
“My rookie year, I was criticized for being mad about second,” Marco said.
Michael’s best finish was second. Mario, who retired after the
1994 season, won just once in 28
starts.
The Andretti curse always
reminds racing aficionados of an
Indy 500 joke: The four most
famous words in racing aren’t
“Gentlemen, start your engines.”
They are “Andretti is slowing
down.”
In 1992, Michael had the best
car but fell out of contention
when he inexplicably lost fuel
pressure late in the race. In
1995, he bumped into a wall
even though nobody was near
him.
Jeff Andretti, Mario’s youngest
son, suffered a violent head-on
crash in the 1992 race and broke
both legs. Marco said it was hard
not to think of that wreck after
the frightening crash last week at
practice that ended James
Hinchcliffe’s season.
“I look at the Hinch thing, I
don’t look at our careers as being
cursed,” Marco said. “My uncle
took a huge hit, don’t get me
wrong and ended his career, but
he’s alive and he’s with us.”
The family refuses to dwell on
the negatives and all the times
they’ve come tantalizingly close
to tasting that milk.
“We’re very vested in what’s
going on here,” Mario said. “We’re
honored to have that opportunity. This place has meant so
much to our family in general. As
far as we’re concerned, it
couldn’t be any better.”

AUSTIN DILLON celebrates in Victory Lane after winning the
NASCAR Xfinity series race at Charlotte Motor Speedway in
Concord, N.C., Saturday.
Dillon wins Xfinity race
CONCORD, N.C. (AP) — Austin
Dillon’s driving was good.
His celebration might have
been even better.
Dillon reveled in his first win at
his home track Saturday with
head-first slide into the infield
grass at Charlotte Motor
Speedway. The 25-year-old Dillon
passed Denny Hamlin with 15
laps remaining and went on to his
second Xfinity Series victory of
the season.
“I stuck (the slide) pretty good,”
joked Austin, a former baseball
player who played in the Little
League World Series.
Dillon started on the pole and
had the fastest car all day, leading the first 98 laps and 163 of
200 overall.
Hamlin finished second, nearly
3 seconds behind Dillon.
Kasey Kahne was third, followed by Regan Smith and Xfinity
Series regular Darrell Wallace Jr.
“I didn’t want to get out of this
car (because) it drove so good,”
Dillon said.
Points leader Chris Buescher
was 11th, but was never in contention for the lead. He maintained a 4-point lead over Ty
Dillon, who finished seventh.
It was Dillon’s fourth career
series victory. He has seven topfive finishes in nine Xfinity starts
this season.
Dillon also won this year at Las
Vegas after leading 183 of 200
laps.
Dillon simply couldn’t be
caught when his No. 33 Chevrolet
had clean air.
He would regularly stretch his
lead to more than four seconds
during long stretches of green flag
racing in the first half of the race.
“I thought it was pretty much a
battle for second place all day,”
Hamlin said. “He had an exceptionally strong car.”
Even Clint Bowyer, who was
working as a Fox Sports analyst,
seemed a little bored with Dillon
extending his lead late in the
race, remarking, “I don’t know
about you guys, but I would like
to see a caution right now.”
With 34 laps to go, Bowyer got
his wish.
On a restart, things got interesting as Hamlin took the outside
line and passed Dillon to take the
lead for the first time and Kahne
boxed out Dillon to take over second place.
“I was just messing with my
grandpa, I knew it would make
his heart skip a beat,” Dillon
joked as he looked over at car
owner Richard Childress.
Dillon didn’t flinch after falling
to third.
He would pass Kahne with 23
laps to go and started to take aim
at Hamlin.
He took his shot with 15 laps to
go, blowing by Hamlin on the low
side of the track amid lap traffic
and quickly pulled away and
cruised to the win. Hamlin said
he wanted to stay on the low line,
but when lap car Peyton Sellers
stayed at the bottom of the track
he was forced to go high.
“When (Hamlin) went up to the
top (of the track), I said, ‘Here is
my shot,’” Dillon said.
Childress joked that when
Dillon went to pass “I just held on
to my adult beverage.”
Kyle Larson, last year’s winner,
headed behind the wall midway
through the race after his No. 4
Chevrolet sustained a broken
rear shock mount. He finished
33rd.
It was another tough weekend
for Jamie Dick when his engine
blew up on turn one 48 laps into
the race, causing smoke to engulf
is car and sending car spinning
down the track and into the wall.
Dick wasn’t injured in the crash
but it took some time to clean up
the oil left on the track leaving
the race under caution for 12
laps.
At the last race in Iowa, Dick
received a scare when a tungsten
weight flew out of the back of
Ross Chastain’s car and punctured Dick’s front windshield,
raising further safety concerns
from drivers.
Brian Scott was running near
the top before being penalized for
speeding on pit row and being
sent to the back of the field.
The top four Xfinity regulars
from Saturday’s race — Wallace,
Regan Smith, Ty Dillon and
Daniel Suarez — will battle for
$100,000 in the Dash for Cash
next week at Dover..
Hamlin confident in Charlotte double
CONCORD, N.C. (AP) — Denny Hamlin’s
not sure he could be more confident coming
into the Coca-Cola 600 with how he has performed the past two weeks at Charlotte Motor
Speedway.
Hamlin, the winner of the All-Star race last
week at the track, held the lead late in the
Xfinity Series event Saturday before getting
passed by winner Austin Dillon and taking
second.
The big prize, though, comes Sunday night
in NASCAR’s longest race — and Hamlin
believes he has as strong a chance as anyone
to finish on top.
Hamlin will start fifth Sunday, one of three
Joe Gibbs Racing cars opening in the top five.
Matt Kenseth sits on the pole and Carl
Edwards is third. Hamlin said that’s a strong
indication he’ll have a machine ready to compete at the end.
“I don’t feel like there’s anything I can do to
drive harder or better,” he said. “You’ve got to
hope you’ve got a fast car.”
Hamlin had the fastest car at the end last
weekend, working his way out front after a
quick final pit stop to pull away from Kevin
Harvick in the final 10-lap dash. No one has
swept both Charlotte weekends since Kurt
Busch did it in 2010.
“Last week was a great week and on
Thursday, Matt (Kenseth) getting the poll was

Coca-Cola 600 Sprint Cup series race at
Charlotte Motor Speedway in Concord,
N.C., Saturday.
a good sign as well,” Hamlin said. “So I’m
pretty excited about tomorrow’s race.”
Hamlin is eager to chase the championship
he missed out on year ago after finishing
third in the Sprint Cup series behind winner
Kevin Harvick. Hamlin took care of qualifying
for this year’s playoff with his win at
Martinsville in March.
“There’s some things about my car I wish I
could change,” he said. “But that’s the tough
part of NASCAR racing is that you’ve got to
tune it and get the car handling as good as it
can.”
The issue all teams face at Charlotte are
changing conditions. Sunshine and heat
when the race starts around 6 p.m., darkness and cooler temperatures about five
hours later when racing for the checkered
flag.
“It’s going to be a very, very big challenge to
be good at both,” Hamlin said.
Hamlin likes how his crews have handled
things at Charlotte so far. Hit pit crew posted
a sub-11 second stop late in the All-Star race
that was instrumental in the victory. In the
Xfinity race, Hamlin fell as far as 21st before
rallying — with the help of NASCAR rescinding a crew penalty after reviewing video —
back to the top. He moved into the lead off a
late restart, but could not hold off Dillon’s
stronger car.
The good thing, Hamlin said, was the work
his crew did in improving the car’s handling
and power as the race went on.
If that happens Sunday, Hamlin’s got the
driving part covered.
“As far as confidence is concerned, I’m as
confident as ever,” he said. “I think our
organization is starting to turn the corner
and, hopefully, we get some good results this
weekend and from here on out.”

“If your contribution has been vital, there will always be somebody to pick up where
you left off, and that will be your claim to immortality.”
— Walter Gropius, German-American architect (1883-1969)
Leadercast a valuable
gift from PCL, Chamber
T
wo of the most quoted
leaders in America —
when speaking on the
subject of leadership — are
iconic voices from the world of
sports.
Sadly, one is no longer with
us. Vince Lombardi, legendary head coach of the
Green Bay Packers from
those glory days of the 1960s,
is credited with pointing to the
birth of leaders. Such birth is
not through biological means,
but by hard work and by listening to the wisdom and
sage advice of those who
have taken the reins of leadership before.
The late Lombardi said it
best.
“Leaders are made, they
are not born,” the Packers
helmsman once said. “They
are made by hard effort, which
is the price which all of us
must pay to achieve any goal
that is worthwhile.”
Some might prefer an alternative metaphor, one that
strikes fear into the squeamish yet a sense of challenge
into the fearless. It is best recognized as, “... No pain, no
gain.”
For just a four-word expression, its meaning can be
debated among the most
articulate of orators for days
on end.
On a more contemporary
note, another oft-quoted
leader is retired University of
Tennessee Lady Vols head
coach Pat Summitt.
The eight-time NCAA
national champion, who might
still be coaching today were it
not for the diagnosis of early
onset Alzheimer’s, is also a
believer in the building of
leaders.
Like Lombardi, she believes
they are not born. Like
Lombardi, she says they are
made. In some cases, they
are self-made. In some cases,
they are the love child of past
leaders and life’s experiences.
In all cases, the muchrespected Lady Vols coach
feels, they are the product of
someone’s training and dedication ... whether it is by their
own devices or a mentor’s.
Like the NFL coach, she
says it best ... as she did in
January 2009, in an article
published in “Success” magazine and later posted to its
popular website. It was written
by someone who understands
the value of leaders and the
relevance of leadership —
Don Yaeger, a four-time New
York Times best-selling
author, longtime Sports
Illustrated writer and awardwinning motivational speaker.
In Yaeger’s interview, he
quotes the UT coach as saying, “I’ve been known to say,
winners aren’t born, they’re
self-made. They’re made that
way by setting goals every
day. Players who come to our
program, they really don’t
understand what they individually have to invest.”
Later in the face-to-face with
Yaeger, she states, “If you
always put more into getting
ready for a game — or a business meeting — than you’ll
need, then no game or meeting will ever overwhelm you. I
want our team to not just be
physically more prepared than
their opponents ... I want them
to be mentally stronger, too.
Those are life lessons.”
And in one other segment,
the demanding — and everso-successful leader —
stressed, “There are a lot of
parallels between basketball
and corporate America. Both
sides know you only win if you
have a great team. Little is
accomplished with only one
talented player. And to build a
great team people have to
understand their roles and
you have to understand the
importance of eliminating confusion.”
In short, to be a great leader
means making personal sacrifice, communicating your
expectations and using mistakes as lessons learned.
All of this points to an
incredible opportunity in our
own Cleveland and Bradley
County community that has
just completed its third year.
Called Leadercast, this oneday phenomenon features
one goal: Build great leaders
and do it by learning from the
experiences of great leaders.
Since
its
inception,
Leadercast has assembled
massive crowds of 300 to 350
at each sitting. It doesn’t
come by accident. It comes
from a recognition by area
businesses, organizations,
nonprofits, churches, civic
groups, education and government that to succeed they
must share a commonality:
Leadership.
Two entities that have led
the Leadercast campaign as
equal partners with like ideas
on building the future are
People for Care & Learning
and the Cleveland/Bradley
Chamber of Commerce.
In our community, both are
respected names.
PCL, under the leadership
of Executive Director Fred
Garmon who says his nonprofit is in the business of
building leaders, is best recognized for its work in “Build A
City” in Cambodia, as well as
a long string of local community-service projects. Most
recently, PCL has been directly involved in the continued
addition of amenities on the
Cleveland/Bradley County
Greenway, and other local initiatives.
The Chamber of Commerce
... well, we cannot begin to list
the number of community
achievements, and opportunities, made possible by the
organization’s diverse programming, hard-working staff
and its fleet of dedicated volunteers.
Great leaders like Vince
Lombardi and Pat Summitt
would be far too humble to
call themselves great leaders.
So, we do it for them.
But they would be among the
first to point to the need for
leadership, no matter the
endeavor — whether it is the
accountable operation of a
business or the difference-making capacities of a nonprofit.
It is appropriate this year’s
Leadercast came with the
theme, “The Brave Ones.”
Hosted in the beautiful facilities of the First Baptist Church
of Cleveland, the daylong
seminar pointed to a shared
trait among successful leaders — courage, the kind of
courage required to take risk.
Our community is fortunate
to have leadership-building
organizations that don’t lack
in courage.
We thank the leaders at
PCL and the Chamber for
fathering new leaders in our
hometown through their hard
work on bringing Leadercast.
“The Brave Ones” brought a
powerful message. Though it
doesn’t seem possible, we
suspect that power will be
exceeded by what lies ahead
in Leadercast 2016.

Graduations bring reminders
One is the bittersweet tone of class reunions
Graduations are a popular subject this
time of year. The focus is often on high
school commencements, but there are also
colleges and universities, graduate schools,
middle schools and primary schools.
Even pre-schoolers get to celebrate a
graduation. I guess it’s training for all those
graduations ahead.
What do you remember about your high
school graduation? Was it fun, or did you
do things you now regret?
If you used bad judgment at the time,
there is a means of intervention. It’s called
“class reunion.” I’ve got another intervention
just ahead in June.
My Maryville High school graduating class
of 1959 previously held our reunions at the
end of the year, but since have switched to
a summertime celebration each year.
Perhaps it’s because our bones handle
warm weather better than cold.
Each year the reunion changes a little.
There is always elation to see old classmates, but it is also a time of sadness to
realize we have lost others over the preceding 12 months.
Some of the losses are anticipated, with
illness and disease, but others are unanticipated and create an even deeper sense of
loss.
Perhaps the greatest sadness is the fact
that some of our classmates are unable to
enjoy quality of life as we get deeper and
deeper into old age. The onset of dementia
and Alzheimer’s has struck several members of my senior class, and their visible
loss is also a loss for the rest of us.
Many of us have suffered through such
losses in our immediate families, but we’re
also suffering these losses in our high
school community.
It brings great sadness to us as we realize
several can’t function as they previously
did. The former athletes no longer have
their agility and strength, many have developed frailness and physical deficiencies,
LOOKing BACK

some with quick minds are no longer very
quick, and memories have faded for others.
Our class reunion has added a Fridaynight event, to go with the usual Saturday
lunch. On Friday evenings we scheduled a
trip to Townsend, in the foothills of the
Great Smoky Mountains. We have a meal,
enjoy some music and sit around and discuss “the old days.”
This added day of celebration has become
the most relaxing of the reunion weekend.
On Saturday, we’ll attend a modest lunch
at Green Meadow Country Club, a place
where I have very fond memories. Green
Meadow is the site of many golf tournaments in which I participated, but also
tournaments I covered as a sports writer.
Much of my mentoring in golf was at the
country club.
In the last few years the luncheon has
been at the high school, where we’ve toured
our old school and viewed all the changes.
We even visited with the football coach who
talked about his program. Maryville High
has become a dynasty in Tennessee, and
one of the most followed prep programs in
the nation.
The school’s football program was not
enviable in our high school days. Even now
we talk about our losses, not our victories.
Most of our discussions on reunion weekend are about those old days, and what
happened to our classmates through the
years.
Several of my classmates reached fame
and fortune. Others were successful in
many ways, and leave generations behind
them.
I and my classmates were fortunate to
grow up during a time when there were
tremendous opportunities for success.
Today’s technological society is a different
world altogether, than the hands-on world
we faced more than five decades ago.
My senior class included several attorneys, journalists (such as myself) and some
who have published other works. There
were engineers, salesmen, judges, publishers, professional athletes, scientists, and
even three or four who worked with NASA
during the time of the nation’s space
exploits.
Some of my closest classmates have
passed away. One lived near my boyhood
home as we were growing up, and we even
ran away from home together when we
where high school sophomores (but that’s
another story).
This classmate served four years in the
Navy, worked as an engineer in the
Caribbean for RCA, then went to work for
NASA. He later returned to school for his
law degree and became an attorney for
NASA. He died from cancer just a few years
ago.
Another close classmate came to the
Banner to visit me recently from Atlanta,
and we’ll continue our relationship at this
year’s reunion.
We’ll probably talk about graduation, but
it won’t be the one we had 56 years ago. My
grandson graduated from Maryville this
year, and two granddaughters will get their
diplomas next spring.
Graduations are a cycle of continuance. I
hope I’ll spin around for a few more, at least
to see all my grandkids walk across the
stage.

Progress is being made on both
ends of the growing Greenway!
Since the Cleveland/Bradley
County Greenway was conceived,
its point of beginning or terminus
on the south end has always been
the Village Green Town Center, at
the corner of Inman and Keith
streets. To the north, it’s the
Hiwassee River. For both of these
directions, the final landing place
is yet to be determined.
Coincidentally, there is current
progress at both the north and
south locations.
At the south point, there is
already a passage under Inman
Street. The 8-foot wide sidewalk
was installed several years ago
when the Tennessee Department
of Transportation widened Inman
Street at that location. However,
there are no plans at this time to
connect that passage to the
Village Green. Instead, progress
is being made to establish a
Greenway connection on the
northwest corner of Inman and
Keith.
With the recent uncovering of
the original spring of the historic
Taylor’s Place, there have been
some discussions about extending the Greenway to this location
near the heart of downtown
Cleveland.
To get from the current southern terminus at Willow Street to
Inman — what has been officially
declared Phase VI of the
Greenway — there is also
progress. Several easements
along Brown Avenue have been
granted by property owners This
will allow an extension across

Greenway Board
Willow Street, and along Mouse
Creek for approximately 300
yards. At the corner of Inman and
Keith, negotiations are underway
to incorporate the Greenway in
the future development of retail
space on the property.
At the north end of Bradley
County, Greenway progress is
developing in the city of
Charleston. Over a year ago a
grant was received to incorporate
an “interpretive” Greenway from
the Hiwassee River to a central
Charleston city park. This terminus (or beginning point) is one of
three possible landing points at
the Hiwassee. If the Greenway
were to continue to follow the
banks of Mouse Creek, it would
land at the Hiwassee near the
massive Wacker plant.
Another branch of Mouse
Creek could take the Greenway
near Walker Valley High School,
providing a needed connection.
The third is the Charleston connection, which, at this time,
appears to be the direction the
Greenway will be developing.
In the meantime, there are a lot
of potential directions the
Greenway could go in between
Charleston and the Greenway’s

stopping point a fifth of a mile
north of Mohawk Drive. What
have been relatively easy easements to obtain for phases one
through five, the next phases of
development will require a bit
more conversations with property
owners.
The vision for 13-plus miles of
Greenway from the Village Green
to the Hiwassee River is achievable, but not without the enthusiastic support of owners along the
way. The more of these owners
who come forward in support of
our Greenway, the faster we can
make it to the visionary goal for
Cleveland and Bradley County!

Dear Annie: I am a communication skills consultant. I disagree with your response to
“Beaucoup Baffled,” who received
an invitation to an overseas wedding and wanted to know
whether she could bring a friend.
You suggested a rather cryptic
response (”I’m not sure I’m up to
making such a long journey by
myself”) in the hope that the
future bride would understand
the hidden meaning. Why not
just ask a simple question, such
as “Would it be OK if I brought
my boyfriend?” — Blainville,
Quebec
Dear Quebec: We understand
your objection, but it is wrong to
put the bride in a position where
she could feel obligated to invite
an extra person. She may not
have the room or the budget to do
so. She even may have intended
to introduce her traveling friend
to a nice French guy. By saying
that one is not up to making the
trip alone, it gives the bride the
option of including the extra person without backing her into a
corner or forcing her to be
unkind.

Giving voice to unspoken casualties of war
“And I’m proud to be an American,
where at least I know I’m free. And I
won’t forget the men who died, who gave
that right to me.”
— Lee Greenwood
Country musician
From, “God Bless The USA” (1984)
———
Of all the agony ever put into words
over the casualties of war, the one that
still rings in my ears and tears at my
heart as the most telling came ironically enough from the imagination of two
Hollywood screenwriters.
Maybe Philip Kaufman and Sonia
Chernus had some rare insight into
raw emotion when they adapted a 1973
novel by Forrest Carter about one soldier’s quest to avenge the murders of
his wife and son by a renegade band of
pro-Union militia in post-Civil War
Missouri.
Their 1976 American Western was
titled “The Outlaw Josey Wales,” a film
classic that was selected 20 years later
for preservation in the National Film
Registry of the Library of Congress.
Directed by and starring the legendary
Clint Eastwood, one of the movie’s final
lines cut the deepest — as spoken
straight from the empty heart of a wayward and broken warrior whose pain
seemed eternal.
Facing the scars of destiny at movie’s
end, a bleeding but forgiving Wales told
his bounty-hunting pursuer Captain
Fletcher, “I guess we all died a little in
that damn war.”
Please excuse the expletive. Deleting
it would have meant surrendering the
movie’s deep-seated message.
It’s how Josey Wales felt. He was
tired of death. He was tired of dying. He
was tired of chasing both. This old soldier needed to accept what was lost.
This weary gladiator needed to move
on. Life awaited.
Quoting from a mythical Hollywood
character seems wrong when pondering

the meaning of Memorial Day. After all,
this somber observance honors the
memory of real soldiers — real men
and real women who die in real wars;
real families who feel real pain. All are
the real casualties of real wars.
Yet, I still find myself returning to
those words, “I guess we all died a little
in that damn war.”
No doubt, the Civil War was mercilessly real. Brother fought brother in a
four-year bloodbath that split families,
tested allegiances and ripped at the
heart of a nation. Likely, the long and
hurtful fight took its toll on thousands
whose names might as well have been
Josey Wales. All were soldiers. Many
died. Some did not.
It is for the dead, and in a sad and
tragic way for the dying, that we
observe Memorial Day.
I’ve written about it before. I will
write of it again ... and not just on
Memorial Day or Veterans Day or Flag
Day or Armed Forces Day, but on any
day of a year’s vast in between when
the memory of an American soldier
plays upon my conscience.
Yes, Memorial Day is intended for the
entombed, the buried ... those who did
not return from distant battlefields. It
is for the fallen heroes of war, those
whose loss came to us like a dagger in
the night.
But I am also reminded of words
from Argentine writer Jose Narosky.
His is a sentiment of deepest pain yet
truest understanding about the casualties of military conflict, “In war, there
are no unwounded soldiers.”
And that’s when visions of my father
are most real.
Dad fought in World War II as an aircraft mechanic and soldier in the old
Army Air Corps.
I had not been born when Dad
shipped overseas, but I am told he was
a good man. Joining hundreds of thousands of other U.S. troops, my father’s
mission was the same as his brothers
in arms — to end the tyranny of a
murderous dictator named Hitler and
the grey-helmeted henchmen who
adhered to his every order of genocide.
Dad was a good man when he left.
Dad was a good man when he came
back. But, Dad was a changed man ...
as I was later to learn.
I cannot speak to all the details. And
I will not speak of them. I know only
what I learned secondhand and thirdhand years later, and what I observed
as his son, his third born. I was the
baby. As a boy I worshipped him. As a
teen I forgot how to love him. As a man
I regret that breach in trust.
Like many American soldiers
returning from the great war, Dad
chose not to speak of it; at least, not
to us kids. Mom knew a little, but
most of what she knew she did not
share. Her silence came in respect for
her troubled husband, my tormented
father.
I never knew my dad before the war.
My birth came a decade later. But even
a child can pick up on key words,
knowing mannerisms, sad eyes and
awkward silence. Each was an unspoken code for off limits to open discussion.
We were occasionally reminded by
Mom not to ask questions about “...
that war.” She understood why. I did
not. And I did not ask.
But this I think I know of my father’s
time in World War II. He served somewhere in Northern Italy. Although his
role came as a mechanic, I am told he
was assigned a gun. I am told he may
have been forced to use that gun. I suspect he probably did. Sometimes a
man’s eyes tell more than they see.
At war’s end he was reportedly
aboard a ship sailing for Japan when
the Enola Gay etched her mark on a
people’s history. Whether the atomic
bombs saved his life, and in so doing
granted me life, I will never know.
Hundreds of thousands died. But a war
ended.
My dad earned a couple medals
although I don’t know what kind. To
this day, I think they remain in the
safekeeping of my older brother.
I know very little else ... except this.
Like too many noble American soldiers, Dad faced his demons upon his
return to the States. Mom blamed most
on the war. I cannot say with conviction. I could only observe. And I
observed quietly.
Perhaps one day I will write about
those demons. Perhaps I will do it
openly, without fear, without doubt ... I
will know then that to write of it is in
fact to honor the man who gave me life
and who offered me love. It will also
serve to condemn the futility of war and
the ravages of death that lie in its
wake. But that day is not today, nor is
it tomorrow nor the day after.
Though I didn’t know how to say it,
especially as an adolescent, I loved my
Dad. I loved him too dearly to disrespect his memory. As a man, I know
this now. As a child, I too often spoke
as a child.
I don’t know if Dad ever saw that
Clint Eastwood classic. If he had, I
believe he might have found comfort in
those words of Josey Wales. He might
even have repeated them, minus the
swearing if we kids were within hearing
distance.
Truth is, a part of my dad did die in
that war. A part of any soldier dies in
war. It isn’t something you see. It isn’t
something you hear. It’s something you
feel.
It doesn’t make them bad men. It
doesn’t make them damaged men. It
just makes them changed men.
Memorial Day is not intended for
these old soldiers. They lived. And if I
were to be so bold as to question the
fairness, my dad would have been the
first to temper my tongue and to calm
my emotions.
“That’s enough son,” Dad would caution me, his words gentle but his tone
firm. “Those men who died ... they gave
everything. They can no longer talk to
their sons. They can no longer be with
their families. They are due every ounce
of respect we can give them.”
“Yes sir,” I would now agree ... 50
years later. “But Dad, you gave a lot,
too ... more than most people will ever
know.”
“But son, I came back,” he would
remind me.
“Yes Dad, you did,” I would manage,
my eyes beginning to sting. “But you
left something behind ... in the middle
of that battlefield, in the twilight of that
war. And you never got it back.”
Memorial Day is for the dead. It is a
tribute to the memories of all who did
not return.
But it doesn’t mean I can’t think of
my dad on Monday. Because I will. And
I will thank Josey Wales — real or
imagined — for putting into words what
so many just like him have earned the
right to say.
“I guess we all died a little in that
damn war.”

This Week in hisTory and rediscover history at Red Clay

The following items were compiled by the Cleveland Bradley County Public Library from old issues of the
Cleveland Daily Banner and its forerunners, the Cleveland Banner, the Journal, and the Journal and Banner.

Memorial Day 1964
Memorial Day services were held on Saturday,
May 30, with veteran groups at the YMCA, and
with Frank Cummings as master of ceremonies.
The Rev. Robert L. Langford, who was pastor
of First Methodist Church and a former U.S.
Navy chaplain, opened the ceremonies at 9 a.m.
with prayer. W.B. Parks made remarks from an
address made to West Point cadets by Gen.
Douglas MacArthur.
Later, the flag was raised while trumpeter Abe
Lillard played the Star Spangled Banner. There
was a salute to war dead by a National Guard
firing squad, and “Taps” was sounded by a
bugler.
Members of the Veterans of Foreign Wars,
American Legion, DAV, and Boy Scouts took part
in placing the flags on graves of deceased servicemen at the request of coordinator Col. A.L.
Bullard.

Uptown area studied
At the request of Charles Beasley, former
Chamber of Commerce manager, TVA's Bernard
Zelner met with a group of Cleveland men to
study revitalization, beautification, parking and
traffic of the downtown area of Cleveland.
The meeting was organized through the
Chamber of Commerce with Walter Abel and J.D.
Harshbarger as co-chairmen, and Paul Davis as
president. It was the third such meeting.
Zelner emphasized that TVA was there solely
in an advisory capacity. He went to highly recommend a detailed economic study, and a planning organization formed which would and could
make long-range plans.
Traffic and parking dominated the conversations. One of the speakers noted that with the
completion of the Interstate Highway System,
patterns of travel would change and cities should
make plans not to integrate traffic flow into and
around their shopping districts.
Parking for uptown shoppers was discussed at
length. The city government was commended for
providing several free parking areas, and also for
enforcing the two-hour limit — while it had also
hurt to some extent.
Another facet of uptown parking discussed
was all-day parkers. Walter Abel commented that
some weeks back the police department had
made a two-day survey and found that 278 cars
parked at parking meter spaces all day. It was
recommended that employers urge their employees to park in free lots, rather than in front of
their own stores.
Concerning the meters, it was pointed out that
the city's income from them ran about $35,000
annually and the money was used to pay for
twice-weekly garbage pick-up in the city.
It was noted that the number of cars would
increase in the years to come, and that traffic
flow in Cleveland was in need of study and
improvement.
A sketch of a proposed new Merchants Bank
building on the southwest corner of Ocoee and
First streets N.W. was shown to the group, however, bank officials stated plans were not definite
at that time.
Carl Armstrong, manager of the Chamber,
estimated that as more and more property owners and store owners make improvements, this
in itself would encourage others to do the same.

An editorial by
C.L. McAlister
Today the nation will pause to honor by word
and deed those who have given their lives in
America's defense.
Gen. John A. Logan inaugurated the first official observance of Memorial Day in 1868 with this
pledge: "If other eyes grow dull and other hands
shake, and other hearts grow cold in the solemn
trust, ours shall keep it well so long as the light of
warmth, the warmth of life, remain to us."
Previous visitors to the
Cherokee Council Grounds at
Red Clay State Historic Park
may not recognize the upgraded and rejuvenated face of Red
Clay.
With the Cherokee people’s
Tri-Council resolution to support Red Clay’s Cherokee
Heritage Festival and to make
it a truly authentic event, the
park has been rejuvenated and
now features more quality
Cherokee activities that accurately portray the Cherokee
people’s customs, lifestyle and
beliefs.
This summer, Red Clay will
offer their first Junior Ranger
Summer camp.
From July 27-30, some 35
young people (ages 8-14) will
have the opportunity to learn
about Cherokee history and
culture, first aid, water ecology, camping, edible plants,
astronomy, reptiles, birds of
prey, invasive plants, Cherokee
weapons and many other topics. This camp will have a
small fee for each child and
registration will begin in midJune. Please call the park
office for more information.
During the summer, Red
Clay will also continue the
annual Cherokee Concert that
will feature Cherokee artists
with original and traditional
music. The free concert will be
held June 20 at 6 p.m.
The 7 Clan Mask carving by
John Grant of Cherokee, N.C.,
is completed and is a wonderful example of the local community partnership with Red
Clay. The basis for the project
occurred when the large tree
was struck by lightning and
had to be removed.

In conjunction with the
artist, Red Clay’s Park Manager
Erin Medley came up with the
idea for the carving since the
tree had seven protruding
stumps from the base. After
securing community and grant
support from the Tennessee
Arts Commission, the
Cleveland/Bradley County
Chamber of Commerce, Rick
and Ramona Bird of Cherokee,
N.C., and the Friends of Red
Clay, the project was completed and remains a highlight of
every guest’s visit.
Red Clay is improving at a
rapid pace.
For example, the Council
House replica benches were in
need of replacement, and the
timbers were donated by Shane
Bickford of Bledsoe County
from his family sawmill.
Visitors will be happy to know
that there are now seven
benches in place of the six that
were removed. The seven
benches represent the seven
Cherokee Clans that would
have been traditionally represented in the Council House.
The new Tulip Poplar benches are installed and ready for
park programs and tours.
The park is also renovating
parts of the James F. Corn
Interpretive Center at Red Clay
with the assistance of Dr.
Carroll Van West, Tennessee
State historian and professor
at Middle Tennessee State
University. New exhibits and
reorganization will occur as a
result of this partnership with
local Chamber of Commerce
Vice President Melissa Woody
and Dr. Van West.
There are numerous projects
and renovations happening
every week at Red Clay with
the help of local partners and
generous donors. We look forward to updating you on the
progress and hope you’ll be
there to see all the improvements!
The park is also proud to
announce the historic gathering of the three federally recognized Cherokee Tribes meeting
at Red Clay for the first time
prior to Removal. This TriCouncil meeting will be enormously significant and we are
honored to play a part in
Cherokee history. Dates have
been tentatively scheduled for
late August 2015 and we will
keep you posted as we are able
about this historic event.
Other events and projects
will be announced via the park
Facebook page and through
Red Clay’s website.
Our annual program schedule is available for pickup at
the park office.
Please feel free to call the
Park Visitor Center with any
questions or comments. We
welcome all suggestions and
feedback.
Thank you for the opportunity to serve.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
SkyRidge
is praised
by patient
To The Editor:
Let’s talk about SkyRidge Medical
Center and all the great staff
employed there. And especially, I’d
like to focus on Stephanie Austin who
is in charge of marketing at the hospital.
She is an outstanding person who
will help you if you call or go see her
about any problem you may have with
the hospital. She will try her best to
fix that problem as soon as possible,
and she will work with you closely
until it is done. She puts forth every
effort, and uses every possible means
that she can, to help you work with
the hospital on your needs, whatever
they might be.
Stephanie is a wonderful, and an
outstanding, hospital employee ... not
just to me but anyone who has had
the occasion to work with her. I’m
sure other people, as well as her fellow employees at SkyRidge, feel the
same.
Another point I would like to make
is a recognition of the hospital’s full
staff: Nurses, practitioners, lab techs,
radiologists ... everyone. They are all
very professional.
If I may, I would like to point out
one more employee whose sense of
care and professionalism stood out
one night when I went to SkyRidge
during an illness. I only knew her as
“Nikita,” but she was there for me and
she was very, very professional in how
she did her work and the words she
used in caring for me. She was very
kind and understanding, and I’m convinced she got me through that night.
And the doctors there are just as
great as the rest of the staff.
Thank you to you all for what you
did to help me.

Senators
thanked for
911 support
To The Editor:
I want to thank state Sens. Todd
Gardenhire and Mike Bell for leadership
that has resulted in the passage of significant legislation to secure the lifesaving 911 service for the citizens of
Bradley County, and all Tennesseans.
Historic reforms were made to update
our laws, bringing fairness and stability
to 911 funding, and structural reform to
the state oversight body. This enables
us to continue having the best telecommunications technology, and to maintain a professional staff that provides
the highest quality response to those in
need.
The 911 Center in Bradley County
received over 185,732 calls for emergency assistance in 2014, which was an
increase of 13.8 percent over the 2013
total. Trends in 2015 show the call volume steadily rising again.
Sens. Gardenhire and Bell understand the importance to public safety by
having a solid 911 system. They continue to provide leadership in improving
our laws.
On behalf of the Cleveland-BradleyCharleston 911 board of directors, I
thank them.
— Danny Lawson
Director, EMS
911 Board Chairman
Pay raises
for firemen
supported
To The Editor:
I think the money the Bradley County
Commission has voted to pay our county firemen is a good start in building our
county’s fire department.
This is a good figure in order to retain
our firemen.
These are professional firefighters who
train and are ready to put their lives on
the line any time. It doesn’t matter if it’s
day or night. They are professionals and
they deserve the best and the most our
taxpayers can pay! [However], a poor
person living on a fixed income should
be exempt from paying county taxes.
I have lived 12 miles [outside the city]
for 40 years and I have helped fight for
our county to get its own fire department.
I [don’t] appreciate the county commissioner who didn’t show up to vote
and give us our contract back from the
city. I live in the 4th District and I don’t
appreciate your views on paying our firemen a decent salary. These firemen have
to live in the real world and cannot work
for the same as they were being paid.
As for other county departments, I
don’t care if they get raises or not. They
are already established.
Also, Mr. [Troy] Maney should take all
the money he was offered!

The SPCA of Bradley County,
participated in its Adopt-a-thon
event sponsored by the
PetSmart store on Gunbarrel
Road in Chattanooga the weekend of May 15-17. It was a
great weekend for the SPCA,
with seven adoptions.
PetSmart hosted the event and
volunteers helped with transportation of animals to and from
the event and provided assistance with the adoption process.
Shown are new owners of some
of the pets adopted during the
event.
TiTAn, a 2-year-old
Staffordshire terrier mix, was
owner-surrendered with his sister Bella when their owners
could not take them when they
moved. Titan was adopted 17
days later at the PetSmart
Adopt-a-thon by Holly and Tony
De Lorenzo.

Bloat is ‘a medical emergency’
By Sue LittLe
Large and giant breeds of dogs are most commonly afflicted with life-threatening bloat, which
actually refers to two conditions in which the
canine’s stomach fills with air or food and then
twists around itself like a flipped over hammock,
explained Dr. Bart Bain, the “visiting pet vet.”
Bloat can be “a quick killer with the afflicted
dog’s inability to belch or breathe or vomit, causing the dog to go into shock as gas and fluid get
trapped in its closed-off stomach,” he said.
“Some signs that a dog is afflicted with bloat
may be: vomiting, a distended abdomen, lethargy,
an inability to keep food down, obvious discomfort and walking stiff-legged.
“Later signs may include: rapid heart rate,
weakness and collapse. If you have even the
slightest concern that bloat is a problem, rush
your dog to a veterinary hospital immediately.
“One hour or sometimes even less is the time
limit you have to get life-saving veterinary intervention for an afflicted dog.
“Becoming aware of what may be the early
signs of impending bloat and then getting immediate veterinary treatment are keys to saving a
dog’s life,” Bain noted.
What dogs are most prone to bloating?
Great Danes, Great Pyrenees, bloodhounds and
other deep-chested, large and giant breeds of
dogs are at highest risk.
“Bloodhounds top the list of those I’ve treated
for this condition,” he said, adding that it is
“unusual for small dogs to be afflicted.”
Dogs that have suffered from bloat are “at high
risk for repeated episodes but with preventive
surgery involving a veterinary tacking procedure,
further episodes can be prevented,” he said.
Other measures recommended by Bain to prevent bloating include “feeding three or four small
meals a day rather than one or two large meals;
not feeding new foods; not letting the dog drink
much water before or after a meal; and avoiding
brisk exercise on a full stomach.”
By abiding by these easy measures, we can
greatly reduce the chances of our dogs becoming
afflicted with life-threatening bloat and keep
them for what we hope will be long, healthy and
happy lives as our beloved four-legged family
members.

MOVING
PIECES:
Budenholzer said he hasn’t
decided who will start in place of
Korver. One option is Kent
Bazemore, who raised some eyebrows after Game 2 when he
said, “I still think we’re the better
team. We just haven’t shown it
yet.”
PEACEMAKER: James urged
Cleveland residents to remain
calm and channel any anger in a
positive way after a judge acquitted a while police office of
manslaughter charges following
the 2012 shooting deaths of two
unarmed blacks.
“Violence is not the answer,”
he said. “For the city of
Cleveland, let’s use our excitement or whatever passion that
we have for our sport for the
game tomorrow night, bring it
tomorrow night.”
James made similar comments following racially-charged
cases in Ferguson, Missouri, and
New York. But this one hits close
to home, and James believes he
and the Cavs can help the healing process.
“It doesn’t matter what city it
is, something that’s going
through a city that’s very traumatic, traumatizing or anything
of that case, I think sports is the
biggest healers in helping the
city out,” he said.
head coach from 1975-81 and
then again from 1986-93, including the Cougars’ national runnerup run in 1980.
“Even though dad quit coaching here (1993) before I was born
(1995), he would always take me
to the games,” the younger
Longley remarked. “It has always
been a dream of mine to play for
Cleveland State. I appreciated
Coach Poly giving me the chance
to do so.”
Having been mainly a first
baseman in high school and for
the Cougars, one of the reasons
he chose ETSU was the opportunity to transition into playing in
the outfield as well.
“Several of the (pro) scouts
have told me they really like my
hitting, but it is extremely tough
to make it exclusively as a first
baseman. They suggested I try to
play some outfield as well,” stated
the former gridiron Mustang wide
receiver. “The San Francisco
Giants scout has me rated as a
five-star hitter, but said I need to
be more versatile defensively.”
“Coach (Tony) Skole (at ETSU)
wants me to come in and hit in
the middle of their lineup and
play both first and the outfield,”
Longley explained. “That’s one of
the big reasons I want to go there.
The Southern Conference is a
good league that has sent a lot of
players to pro ball. I’m going to
keep working hard and hopefully
get noticed and get an opportunity to do that myself.”
After being a Walker Valley
Graduate of Distinction with a
3.8 grade point average, Longley
continued his classroom success
at CSCC, repeatedly making the
dean’s list and honor rolls each
semester. He had also participated in the dual enrollment program, taking college courses
while still in high school.

“I played in pain that year

still having trouble that fall at
Cleveland State, Coach (Mike)
Policastro shut me down,” related
Longley. “I didn’t play my freshman year but was able to let the
injury heal completely and then
get back into the weight room
and batting cage and work my
way back.”
The results speak for themselves, as he hit at a .335 clip this
spring for the Cougars, plus had
a .392 on base percentage, a .682

Flames
From Page 17
Lee University photo
Lee UNIVeRSITY’S Ben Holland watches his home run leave
Prasco Park Saturday during the NCCAA World Series championship game in Mason, Ohio.
Toms singled as did Nate
Wierzgac. Toms tallied on a onebase hit by Josh Tate. All totaled
Lee had 11 hits just like the
Sunbirds but they never could
put more than two hits together
in the same inning.
Nelo finished with three hits.
Wierzgac, Toms and Tate banged
out two singles.
Dustin Lawson was one of five
pitchers for the Flames. He started and gave up five hits and
three earned runs. Jacob Potts
also allowed five hits and three
earned runs. Grayson Bailey and
Ridge Ackerman finally slowed
the Sunbird hitting attack.
Josh Medeles was the starting
and winning pitcher for Fresno.
In 6 1/3 innings, he scattered 10
hits and gave up two earned
runs. Medeles was bailed out of
a jam in the seventh inning by
reliever Drew Merlo. The lefty
worked 2 2/3 innings, giving up
a single hit and striking out
three Flames.
“I thought we played well
today," said coach Mark Brew.
"We had some opportunities (10
runner left on base), but my hats
off to Fresno as they made several big plays to squelch any
rally that we got going.
"Overall I'm really proud of
this group. To think we were 2015 at one time and to finish the
way we did is a credit to each
player. This senior class really
pulled this team together and
battled the last third of the year.
It's hard to have perspective
after an emotional game like
today, but our guys have accomplished a lot for our program
and helped us navigate to the
NCAA Division II process. It's a
great group of guys, and I am
excited to see what they can
accomplish in the future,"
praised Coach Brew.
NCCAA Semifinal
Friday evening
FLAMES 6, SAILFISH 1
Holland launched a two-run
double in the first inning, and
Trent Hill pitched a complete
nine-inning game in leading Lee
to a convincing 6-1 victory over
Palm Beach Atlantic on Friday
evening at Prasco Park.
As they have in most of the
World Series wins, the Flames
got off to a quick start in the first
inning.
Adams and Nelo walked, and
Holland made the Sailfish pay
when he launched a double off
the 395 mark in center field.
Holland finished the afternoon
with another double in the sixth
inning and drove in two more
runs with a single in the seventh.
The most exciting play of the
game occurred in the third
inning thanks to the daring
base-running of Poti. He reached
first on a single, stole second and
went to third on a wild pitch. To
the delight of the large crowd in
attendance, Poti suddenly went
streaking for the plate and surprised everyone by stealing home
and giving the Flames a 3-0 lead.
"I had no idea he was going to
steal home," admitted Coach
Brew, who was coaching third
base. "This is the type of aggressive baseball our team is playing
right now. They are very loose
and seem to be having a lot of
fun."
With Hill keeping the Palm
Beach bats in check, the Flames
increased the margin to 4-0 in
the sixth inning after Holland's
double. He scored on a wild
pitch. Two insurance runs were
posted in the seventh as the lead
grew to 6-0. Tate walked and Poti
followed with his second hit of
the game. Holland grabbed the
spotlight again when he knocked
in both runners with a one-base
hit.
The Flames finished with eight
hits. Adams joined the hit parade
with a double, and MJ Brown
joined Wierzgac with Lee's other
hits.
Hill threw a season high 135
pitches. He allowed five hits, one
earned run, struck out four and
walked six. Palm Beach scored
its only run off the left-hander in
the ninth inning when Jason
Webb was hit by a pitch and later
scored on a single by Ryan
Johnson.
"Trent gave us our second
straight complete game," noted
Brew. "Going into the final
against Fresno, this is the best
situation our pitching staff has
been in during several of our
teams search for a national
championship. We've got a lot of
arms available, but we also know
that Fresno has an outstanding
overall club. We are excited
about the opportunity to be playing a NCAA Division II caliber
team."
Clock ticks, but fortune smiles
for Federer at French Open
PARIS (AP) — There are two
distinct sounds when Roger
Federer graces the courts of
Roland Garros. One is the pop of
backhands and forehands kicking up puffs of red clay. The
other, getting ever louder, is the
scratchy tick of life’s clock.
At age 33, with 34 bearing
down in August, time is increasingly the enemy to Federer’s
quest to add to his already
record haul of Grand Slam titles.
The count climbed to 17 with
his seventh win at Wimbledon in
2012, when he was still a young
30-year-old. Then, abruptly, it
stopped. In Federer’s golden
spell from 2004-2009, there were
24 Grand Slam finals. Federer
played in 20 of them, winning
14. But since his 2012
Wimbledon win against Andy
Murray, just one of the 10 subsequent Grand Slam finals featured the Swiss: an epic five-setter lost to Novak Djokovic last
year.
Of all places for Federer to
prove that he still has another
major title in him, Roland Garros
would seem the least favorable.
The slow red dust blunts
nuances of his game so effective
on other, faster surfaces. Having
one of the sharpest tactical
minds and best right hands tennis has ever seen were never
quite enough for Federer at the
only major he’s not won multiple
times. He needed a sprinkling of
luck, too. Federer’s only victory
at the French Open, in five
finals, came in 2009 against
Robin Soderling, who did him
the favor of taking “King of Clay”
Rafael Nadal out of the picture in
the fourth round.
Good fortune, in the shape of
Maria Sharapova’s fingers, is
smiling on Federer again this
year. The defending women’s
champion, called upon to pluck
out the seeded men’s names in
Friday’s draw, delivered a road
map that could hardly be more
favorable for Federer.
Sixth-seeded Nadal and thirdseeded Murray were both drawn
in the half of top-seeded
Djokovic. That means secondseeded Federer would only have
to play, at most, one of those
infernal three who beat him at
the semifinal or final stage of
majors in 2013 and 2014. And
such a blockbuster match could
only happen in the June 7 final,
if Federer gets that far.
“There is a chance to go very
deep,” he acknowledged. “How
deep remains to be seen depending on the level of play.”
Federer opens his 62nd consecutive Grand Slam campaign,
extending his record, on Sunday
against a qualifier. In the
women’s championship, last
year’s losing finalist Simona
Halep, seeded three, opens
against Evgeniya Rodina, ranked
91. The 2008 champion Ana
Ivanovic
plays
Yaroslava
Shvedova, quarterfinalist in
2010 and 2012.
Federer has a relatively easylooking path until the fourth
round, where he could meet
13th-seeded Gael Monfils before
a potential quarterfinal against
his Davis Cup Swiss teammate
Stan Wawrinka, seeded eight. In
the semifinals, a possible meeting with either Japan’s Kei
Nishikori, seeded five, or fourthseeded Tomas Berdych looms.
But all that is just on paper.
The end, in the Wimbledon second round in 2013, of Federer’s
astounding streak of 36 Grand
Slam quarterfinals or better
punctured the idea that he’s
assured a place in the second
week of a major tournament.
Roland Garros last year ended in
the fourth round for Federer,
with a five-set loss to Ernests
Gulbis. The Latvian, ranked 25,
is in Federer’s section of the
draw again this year.
“There (are) a lot of good players out there that want to win
the tournament that can win the
tournament. Others that are
dangerous on the day,” Federer
noted. “Whether it’s in semis or
in the finals, if you lose, you lose
at one point or another, and
that’s not funny. So my objective
is to not lose.”
Nadal’s seeding dropped lower
than ever at Roland Garros this
time, leaving him vulnerable in
the draw, after the nine-time
champion endured his worst
season on clay in 10 years. The
14-time Grand Slam champion
enters the tournament with five
losses in 2015 on the surface
where he used to be superhuman, accumulating a 66-1
record at Roland Garros.
Federer has been playing
excellent tennis and has a 25-5
record in 2015. On clay, he lost a
final in Rome to Djokovic after
claiming an 85th career title in
Istanbul. His previously aching
back is now old history.
“I feel like I have had a great
last 12 months,” Federer said.
“I’ve just got to make sure I
adjust my game according to the
playing conditions here, and
then we will see how far it takes
me.”
After his Rome final, Federer
returned to Switzerland for a
family break before touching
base with coach Stefan Edberg,
the former player who has been
instrumental in adjustments to
Federer’s game following a
below-par 2013.
“2013 cost me a lot of energy,”
Federer said. “We now have a
good momentum; 2014 and
2015 have been good. I feel
much better. But that doesn’t
mean anything when it comes to
results.”
Time will be the judge of that.

was his first road win since last
Sept. 2 at Oakland. He’d gone 03 with a 5.30 ERA in his previous
six outings away from home.
Tom Wilhelmsen pitched the
seventh, Carson Smith worked
the eighth and Fernando Rodney
finished for his 12th save.
The slumping Blue Jays lost
for the 11th time in 14 games
and fell to 2-10 in one-run decisions. They’ve lost sixth straight
one-run games.
Mark Buehrle (5-4) gave up
three runs and five hits in 7 1-3
innings.
TWINS 4, WHITE SOX 3
CHICAGO (AP) — Torii Hunter
homered, Trevor May pitched
seven strong innings and
Minnesota defeated Chicago.
May (3-3) allowed three runs
and six hits. He struck out nine
and didn’t allow a walk.
Hunter and Eduardo Nunez
tagged White Sox starter Chris
Sale (3-2) for solo home runs in
the second inning. It was
Hunter’s seventh of the season
and Nunez’s first.
Twins closer Glen Perkins
pitched a scoreless ninth for his
major league-leading 16th save
in 16 chances. Perkins struck
out Tyler Flowers looking to end
the game, leaving runners at first
and second.
Sale was roughed up early but
pitched eight innings. He gave up
four runs, three earned, and five
hits. He struck out 10 and
allowed one walk.
LONDON (AP) — Boston and
U.S. Olympic leaders will travel
to Switzerland next week to
sound out the IOC about their
struggling candidacy for the
2024 Summer Games amid a
leadership shake-up at the top
of the bid.
The high-level American delegation will be at IOC headquarters
in
Lausanne,
Switzerland, next Wednesday
and Thursday as part of the
new “invitation phase” for
Olympic bid cities, U.S.
Olympic
Committee
spokesman Patrick Sandusky
said Friday.
The Boston delegation will
be headed by Steve Pagliuca,
the Boston Celtics co-owner
who took over as bid leader on
Thursday, replacing construction magnate John Fish.
Among others scheduled to go
to Lausanne are bid CEO Rich
Davey, vice chairman Roger
Crandall and chief operating
officer Erin Murphy.
The U.S. Olympic Committee
team will include chairman
Larry Probst, CEO Scott
Blackmun and chief bid officer
Chris Sullivan. Board member
Angela Ruggiero may also
attend. She and Probst are
also IOC members.
The U.S. officials will meet
with an International Olympic
Committee group headed by
Christophe Dubi, the executive
director for the Olympic
Games.
The talks come amid continuing uncertainty over the
future of the Boston bid, which
has been dogged by local opposition, political wrangling and
low public support ratings.
Ruggiero said at a hearing in
Boston on Monday that the
USOC was still vetting the bid
and there was “no guarantee”
the city would be put forward
as the U.S. candidate. That
fueled more speculation that
Boston could be dumped in
favor of Los Angeles — which
hosted the Olympics in 1932
and 1984 — before the Sept.
15 deadline for submission of
bids to the IOC.
The USOC has repeatedly
reiterated support for Boston
and said there was no truth to
rumors and reports that it is
considering other options.
The USOC chose Boston as
its candidate city in January
over Los Angeles, San
Francisco and Washington.
The U.S., which mounted
failed bids for the 2012
Olympics (New York) and 2016
(Chicago), hasn’t hosted the
Summer Games since 1996 in
Atlanta.
Stung by polls showing support for their candidacy at
below 50 percent, Boston officials have decided to put the
bid to a statewide referendum
in November 2016, halfway
through the race.
Rome
and
Hamburg,
Germany, are also declared
bidders. Paris and Budapest,
Hungary, are expected to enter
the race soon. The IOC will
select the host city in 2017.
German and Hungarian officials have already visited
Lausanne for the invitation

on June 3, and Italians the following month.
The invitation phase was
introduced as part of IOC
President Thomas Bach’s
“Olympic Agenda 2020” reform
program

December. It’s designed to
bring more flexibility to the
process and make bidding and
hosting less expensive. The
IOC is also encouraging the

Church should not be ‘pushy’
Dear Dave,
My wife and I go to a small
church where we tithe. The
church is continually asking for
contributions to other charities
and causes, and we don’t have the
money to give to them all while
we’re sticking to our budget and
getting out of debt.
The worst part is that we get
pretty aggressive pushback when
we say no. What can we do?
— Michael
Dear Michael,
I don’t react well to that kind of
pushback. I would probably be
nice a couple of times, but after
that my response might sound
something like, “Mind your own
business.”
Seriously, I’d probably be a little
gentler than that. But basically
when it reaches that point, they’re
saying, “I want your money.” And
that’s really over the top. If it goes
even further, and it becomes a
question of you “digging deep” or
not having enough faith, I might
get un-gentle in a hurry.
Your first job is to provide for
your family and take care of those
kinds of responsibilities — which
is a very scriptural stance. Once
you’ve done that, then you’ll hopefully have the financial ability to
move beyond tithes and into offerings, which are completely different concepts.

Dave Says
Dave
Ramsey
Tithes are first fruits off the top,
while offerings are from surplus meaning that you and your family
are doing well financially.
Another thing to consider is
this: Does this church turn every
impulse they have into pressure to
donate or buy something, because
they didn’t plan for this kind of
stuff in the church budget?
I’d start having a problem with
the leadership if this turned out to
be the case, because it’s a sign
they’re not planning and leading
well.
Hopefully, you can explain to
these folks the reason why you
can’t contribute to additional
things at the moment and they’ll
understand. If not, and it were me
in your shoes, I think I’d have to
find another church.
— Dave
Stick with mutual funds
Dear Dave,
I’ve been following your plan,
and I have my emergency fund in
place and am investing in mutual
funds. Recently, a financial planner recommended bonds to me.
What is your opinion on this?
— Becky
Dear Becky,
I don’t recommend bonds at all
right now. I’m not a fan of them,
and I don’t own any. The bond
market is almost as volatile as the
stock market, and it doesn’t pay
nearly as much on average.
On top of all that, bond prices
work at an inverse of interest
rates. In other words, as interest
rates rise, bond prices go down.
Long-term interest rates are still
really low. If you were to buy a
bunch of bonds right now, and
interest rates went up even one
percent, you could lose a lot!
I recommend mutual funds and
good growth stock mutual funds.
There are always some bonds
mixed in with a growth and
income fund, and I’m not opposed
to that to some degree, but it’s not
my favorite.
So, if I were ever going to buy
bonds - and I’m not going to - it
definitely wouldn’t be right now. It
doesn’t take much of a move in
interest rates for bond prices to go
down dramatically.

CLEVELAND’S SISSY FIGLESTHAHLER gave her personal testimony at this week’s dedication of the new Blood Assurance donor center in Village Green. She suffered an embolism following the birth of her fourth son, and would probably have died if not for 20 units of blood
from the hospital and Blood Assurance. “Twenty people gave blood that saved my life,” she said. “I urge you to become a donor.” She was
joined by her husband, Andy, and sons, Andrew, Jack, Peter and Patrick.
Blood Assurance drive continues Monday
By LARRY C. BOWERS
Banner Staff Writer
Monday may be a holiday, but
it’s also a continuation of the
Memorial Day-themed blood
drive by Blood Assurance.
This week, the nonprofit agency
dedicated its new donor center in
Village Green. The donor center
was recently moved from the
Keith Street location it had occupied for more than 25 years.
Thursday afternoon’s ceremony also marked the dedication of
the Howard H. Kuhns Jr. community room, named for one of
the blood agency’s longtime, and
greatest, supporters. His family
was in attendance, as were a
number of community leaders.
The ongoing blood drive is to
honor local veterans who have
served in the United States military.
For each donation received
through Memorial Day, Blood
Assurance will donate $1 to various American Legion organizations across the region.
Donors will also receive a customized backpack and will be
entered into a drawing to win a
pair of Garth Brooks concert
tickets.
The organization encourages
the community to make a lifesaving donation in honor of a friend
or family member who has
served in the United States military.
According to an American
Legion
spokesperson,
the
agency’s mission is to serve veterans, service members and
communities. The organization
currently has about 2.4 million
members in 14,000 posts world-

THE LATE HOWARD H. KUHNS JR. was honored this week when the community room at the new
Blood Assurance donor center was named in his honor for all the support he gave the non-profit agency.
Surrounding the dedication plaque in the new community room are Kuhns’ sons, from left, Tim, Jim, Ron,
and his grandson, Wesley, a Lee University student.
wide.
“This Memorial Day, we want
to honor the legacies of those
who risked their lives serving our
country. We hope donors will
consider serving their communities by making a donation in
honor of the men and women
who gave the ultimate sacrifice
for others,” said Charlie Callari,
vice president of marketing and
donor recruitment for Blood
Assurance.
“All of the donations we receive
will not only help save lives
across the region, they will be
matched with a $1 donation to a
local American Legion organization,” Callari emphasized.
Over 540 volunteer blood
donors are needed every day in
order to adequately supply the
demand of local hospitals. Just
one donation can save up to
three lives across the region.
“The veterans we pause to
remember on Memorial Day are
the patriots who left their homes
and families when their country
call, said Gordon Mikitka,
department of Tennessee public
relations chairman for the
American Legion organization.
“They gave their last full measure of devotion in defense of our
freedom. The American Legion is
committed to keeping the memory of their sacrifices alive for generations to come. This blood
drive will help us in keeping their
memories alive,” Mikitka added.
To be eligible to donate blood,
you must be at least 17 years old
(16 years old with parental consent), weigh 110 pounds or more
and be in good health. Donors
are asked to drink plenty of fluids - avoiding caffeine - and eat a
meal that is rich in iron prior to
donating.

Watkins joins Buckner operation
Special to the Banner
Ralph Buckner Funeral Home
& Crematory has announced the
addition of J. Michael Watkins as
their new Operations Manager.
Watkins, who has over 35 years
of experience as a business
administrator,
operations
director, and 25
years as a business owner, will
assist
CEO
Ralph Buckner
Jr. in the dayto-day operations of the
funeral home.
“I am very
Watkins
pleased that
Michael has agreed to join my
organization. In recent years I
have been looking for the right
person to fill the need I have for an
operations manager,” Buckner
said. “Not only will Michael be a
great asset for me at RBFH, but he
will also oversee Higgins Funeral
Home,
BridgeMaker
Grief
Support, and also work closely
with Chari (Buckner) at Faithful
Friends Pet Crematory and
Funeral Home. I’m looking forward to Michael doing great
things.”
Watkins began his career in the
80’s with Merrill Lynch as a stockbroker based out of the
Chattanooga offices. He then
moved to Westmore Church of
God as the Comptroller/Business
Administrator, and for just over
the past four years has been the
Operations Director for Habitat for
Humanity.
Watkins will be involved in
every aspect of the Buckner businesses from employee management to ensuring the continued
quality and service that RBFH
families deserve.
Buckner stated, “I want Michael
to be involved in all aspects of the
business. As my businesses have
continued to grow, through the
support of this community, I have
found that it has become more difficult for me to oversee all of the
daily details of operating multiple
businesses. With the addition of
Michael, I will be free to develop
other business interests and know
that all the little details of day-today operations are being handled.”
When asked about why he took
this job, Watkins stated, “I have
often thought about being a
funeral director. I have seen how,
the really good funeral directors,
approach it as a ministry, not as a
job. Being a funeral director, helping people, fits who I am.
When Watkins is not working,
he enjoys running and has ran
one marathon and several half
marathons in his running career.
He also enjoys golf, and loves to
travel. Watkins is married to
Denise Watkins and has a son,
John Watkins, a daughter, Jaclyn
Gallaher, a son-in-law, Brian
Gallaher, and two grandchildren,
Sean and Katelyn.

Armenta kicks Bears past Blue Raider alum
By JOE CANNON
Banner Assistant Sports Editor
With the TSSAA crowning state
champions in five sports, the
NBA, NHL playoffs and MLB regular season in full swing, plus Lee
University playing for a NCCAA
national title, it’s no wonder
Friday night’s football game
turned into a soccer match.
For the second straight year,
former gridiron standouts from
Bradley Central and Cleveland
High took the Bear Stadium field
for a time of fun and fundraising,
but in the end the game’s only
scores came from the feet of a pair
of soccer stars.
The left foot of Miguel Armenta,
a 2004 BCHS graduate and current Bear soccer coach, booted a
37-yard field goal with 100 ticks
left on the clock to lift the hosts to
a 6-3 victory and bragging rights
for another year over their old
archrivals. The Bears also won
last year’s first meeting by a 2621 tally.
The second annual BradleyCleveland Alumni Game, played
before an estimated crowd of
around 1,500 fans, provided
plenty of defensive action while
the offenses were held to a combined 185 yards and no touchdowns.
The Black-and-Gold defense
was led by former all-state defensive end Tucker Bolton (a 2011
graduate), linebackers Dewaun
Massengill (2011), Trey Mayse
(2005) and LJ Goodridge (2013),
plus the father-and-son duo of
Tim (1988) and Bradley Colbaugh
(2011). They made nine tackles
for loss, plus held the former Blue
Raiders to just three first downs
and 56 yards of total offense.
The Bears caused a trio of
turnovers with Triston Lowe
(2009) recovering a fumble in the
third quarter, plus Nathan
Centers picking off a Raider pass
with 2:50 left in the contest to set
up the game-winning field goal.
Bradley capped the victory with
Goodridge causing a fumble that
Jesse Loscudo (2007) recovered
on the Raider 8-yard line on the
game’s next-to-last play.
On the other side of the ball,
quarterback Timmy Lynn (2008)
directed the Bear offense, completing 6-of-14 passes for 74
yards, including a pair for 25 and
22 yards to Dee Crisp (2014).
Former all-stater Blake Morris
(2001) led the rushing attack with
11 carries for 27 yards, while
Bryan Stewart (2004) gained 17
yards on a trio of rushes.
The Raider defense held
Bradley to 129 yards of total
offense with standouts like

Vincent Sharp (1987), Lonnie
White (1995), Reed Allison (2013),
CJ Bryant (2013) and Justin
Berry (2007) leading the way.
The “Boys in Blue” also came
away with a pair of takeaways —
fumble recoveries by White and
Leroy Bowerman (2007). Berry
forced the first turnover when he
hit Lynn just before he could get
off a pass.
Cleveland’s main offensive
threat came from Terrell Parks
(2010), who gained 44 yards on a
half dozen carries, including the
game’s longest gain on a 30-yard
scramble, but he was also
trapped behind the line on five
other carries for minus 27 yards.
Bryant had four carries for 13
yards.
Bradley’s two scores came on
Armenta field goals — a 28-yarder
to cap the first Bear offensive possession and the game winner with
1:20 on the game clock. He also
came up just short on a 47-yard
attempt after an almost eightminute, 57-yard drive to open the
second half.
The Blue Raider points also
came from a soccer standout as
Javier Rocha (2008) booted a 27yard field goal to tie the game with
5:35 left in the opening half.
"Its great to get that second
win, but what’s really important
is getting these alumni back down
the Bearwalk to compete together
against their crosstown rival once
more," stated Matt Moody, head
coach of the Bear alumni team.
"Our defense was really flying
around. We have a lot great defensive players who come back and
really take pride in defending the
Bears Den. They're a fun group to
coach," stated Coach Todd
Stevison.
"It was a hard-fought game,
and no one was seriously hurt, so
it was a good night of football," a
pleased Bradley head coach
Damon Floyd stated.
"We would really like to thank
Insurance Incorporated for sponsoring this year’s Alumni Game.
They really came through to help
raise some needed funds for both
programs. I would also like to
thank all the players and parents
who helped out. I would especially like to thank Coach Moody for
really taking initiative and spearheading this event and making it
a success. He really spent a lot of
time putting things together on
and off the field," an appreciative
Coach Floyd boasted.
After paying the game’s
expenses, the event’s proceeds
are divided equally between the
Bradley and Cleveland football
programs.

JaCK MurPHY, 88, served in the U.S. Marine Corps during World War II at the age of 16. Married
53 years, he helped raise a family, worked in community service with the Cleveland Police for 12 years,
worked 25 years for TVA and is currently enjoying socializing with friends in the Sons of the American
Revolution as well as a coed club, local friends and family. Below, Murphy is seen using a DaVinci

opened up on them. The Marines
suffered an estimated 1,100
casualties on D-Day, with
around 200 dead and 900
wounded. Murphy said he heard
the words of his older brother
who also joined the war echoing
in his ear. His brother had
warned him to join the Army and
not join the Marines because it
was too dangerous and he’d
surely get himself killed.
“He told me if I joined the
Marines I’d be wishing I was
back up there at Bachman milking those cows,” Murphy admitted. “I thought about that when I
was on Peleliu being shot at. I did
wish I was back at Bachman.”
Temperatures remained about
115 degrees and the Marines
soon suffered high casualties
from heat exhaustion. As casualties mounted, Japanese snipers
began taking aim at stretcher
bearers. Unspeakable images of
a kamikaze pilot crashing his
plane into a U.S. ammunition
ship, soldiers — friends and foes
— dying all around amid explosions and a barrage of bullets flying everywhere took Murphy to
the depths of both fear and
courage, discipline and determination to survive.
Like other U.S. Marines,
Murphy dug in and fought, fol-
lowing orders, until more and
more U.S. troops saw victory
after victory and one gritty
teenage boy saw himself become
a man. In total the 1st Division
suffered more than 6,500 casualties during their month on
Peleliu, more than a third of the
entire division. According to
Military History Online, the
American assault on Peleliu in
the Palau Islands had the highest casualty rate of any amphibious invasion in the entire war in
the Pacific.
Murphy said his training and
ability to follow orders played a
major role in his survival of that
momentous battle that saw
courageous American troops
finally win out. After the war was
over, Murphy said he went to
China from October 1945 to
February 1946 on a special mission.
“We were the law. We had
about 2 million Japanese that
had been in China since 1937
and we were sending them
home,” he said. “We had to get
them out of China and send
them back to Japan.”

Speaking on baggage
Struggling with baggage at the
airport can be quite daunting.
It’s amazing what we believe
we must take with us for a few
days away from home — toiletries, enough clothes to safely
handle any possible weather situation, several pairs of shoes,
sweaters, jackets, coats and
bathing suits — just to get us
started.
If you’re like me, my notebook
computer has become like an
appendage. I simply don’t go anywhere without it. I just might get
inspired and inspiration and a
keyboard are now inseparable. Of
course, travel without books and
articles and a camera just doesn’t
happen for me. We all have what
we feel we must have, and therefore must take. No wonder we
come back from our trips
exhausted after lugging all our
baggage around. Upon return, we
can quickly unpack our stuff,
putting it wherever it’s supposed
to go and then store away our
luggage for the next trip. What a
relief!
At least there is an end to our
trip baggage. Unfortunately, the
emotional baggage we carry isn’t
nearly as easy to unload. Most of
us find ourselves carrying far too
much baggage from emotional
issues and crises in our past.
This leaves us feeling unduly
stressed, frustrated and downright tired.
To illustrate this reality, in the
college classroom I select the
smallest female (for greatest
effect) and have her stand before
the class. Then I hand her a book
bag (every student in class has
one) and ask her to put it on her
back. As soon as she does, I
quickly fetch another bag and
have her add that bag to her back
also. And then one more for good
measure. When she is carrying
all she can on her back, I begin
loading up her sides and then her
front with more bags. With so
many bags, even walking
becomes cumbersome and laborsome.
The class laughs. I respond to
their laughter by grabbing a
trench coat from one of the bigger
guys and then attempt to cover
her bags so she won’t look quite
so silly. A few begin to feel a little
sorry for her.
Picking up on their sympathy,
I ask one of the guys to join her
at the front of the classroom.
“Why don’t you give her a hug?
She is suffering under the load
and maybe a hug is exactly what
she needs.”
Of course, when he tries to hug
her, he can’t really get near her.
There’s just too much baggage.
“What can she do?” I ask the
class.
The answer seems all too obvious as they all chime in, “Get rid
of the bags.”
“It’s too much.”
“Can’t you see, she’s in pain?”
Getting rid of book bags is simple. Getting rid of emotional baggage isn’t. I’m not sure you can. I
still carry some emotional baggage even from childhood. But
I’m no longer weighted down.
Most of my baggage I store away,
sort of like the storage compartments where we store stuff we
really don’t need anymore but
aren’t sure what to do with it. I do
carry the key with me at all
times.
Even though I no longer need
the stored baggage, I still want
access to it. It’s a part of me and
carrying it helped shape who I
am, good and bad. So sometimes I still go through it,
remember what I learned from
each particular piece of emotional baggage, and say a prayer
of thanksgiving that I’m not still
carrying it. Doing this helps me
remember the weight of what I
carried and how the baggage
blocked my connections with
others, which helps me in my
resolve not to take the bag out of
storage only to put it on my
back again.
Are you carrying too much
baggage? Are you beginning to
falter under the load? Is there so
much baggage that others can’t
get close to you? If so, check out
a good place to store it away. If
you need help, don’t hesitate to
ask. Carrying too much baggage
is a killer.
New headstone dedicated
at Civil War soldier’s grave
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (AP) — For
some reason, John E. Wilkins carried a pocket notebook and pen,
writing down his experiences as a
Union soldier, day after day, from
the onset of the Civil War until its
conclusion.
His service helped preserve a
nation. His decision to keep a diary
preserved history.
Wilkins, himself, deserves to be
remembered. And he will be.
Nearly 150 years after he documented the war’s final chapter, a
new headstone at Wilkins’ grave
was dedicated during a noon ceremony at Woodlawn Cemetery
Saturday in Terre Haute, his
hometown. The “amateur historian” who researched the life of a
clerk-turned-soldier told Wilkins’
story at a lecture Friday night in
the Vigo County Public Library.
“I love this story,” said Mark
Meyer, who spoke on “John E.
Wilkins, Ready and Able: A
Hoosier’s Civil War” from 6 to 8
p.m. Friday in Rooms A, B and C
of the library.
Civil War diaries by soldiers
were not uncommon. A diary such
as Wilkins’ was rare, though,
because it chronicles the entire
course of the war, right down to
the aftermath of President
Abraham Lincoln’s assassination,
the
Tribune-Star
reported
(http://bit.ly/1ztCtg2 ). Wilkins’
words also give an unvarnished
view of the combat.
Wilkins wrote daily entries during the war in field diaries, small
pocket notebooks.
Only one of his field diaries survives; it is kept at the Allen County
library, said Jane Gastineau, its
Lincoln librarian. Nonetheless, in
1911 — months before he died at
age 75 — Wilkins transcribed all
four years of his wartime notes
into his “Civil War Diary,” and that
hardbound compilation now highlights the Fort Wayne library’s
Lincoln-era documents.
Meyer started reading it a year
and a half ago. “I just got
wrapped up in his diary,” he said
Tuesday, “and by him.”
Wilkins was a 25-year-old Vigo
County deputy clerk and Terre
Haute volunteer firefighter at the
brink of the Civil War. His military
service began as a member of the
Vigo Guards, Indiana’s most highly regarded militia, in the late
1850s. That militia offered its services to the U.S. Army before the
war — most likely the first in the
country to do so, Meyer explained.
Wilkins wound up serving under
memorable Union leaders, from an
initial three-month stint in Col.
Lew Wallace’s 11th Indiana
Regiment (nicknamed “Wallace’s
Zouaves”) to suiting up for Gens.
William T. Sherman and Ulysses
S. Grant. Wilkins fought on 24 different battlefields, including
Shiloh, Fort Donelson and Red
River. He climbed to the rank of
lieutenant, and became an adjutant (a commander’s assistant).
Throughout, he wrote about
what he saw. With access to the
leaders, Wilkins presented a
unique perspective of the war.
“There’s a certain depth to his
diary, where he had more information than a regular soldier would
have,” Meyer said. Yet, Wilkins
served in the trenches. Thus, his
descriptions of the fighting are
vivid. That includes the Battle of
Fort Donelson in 1862 at
Tennessee. For Grant and the
Union, the victory was pivotal. And
bloody.
Wilkins “has some pretty graphic detail of that battle,” Meyer said.
At Fort Donelson, Union soldiers
slept in the February cold without
blankets. In his diary, Wilkins
“talked about marching in mud up
to his knees and slept in tents with
an inch or two of water,” Meyer
added. “It’s pretty amazing.”
“The best parts of the diary are
the ones that talk about what the
daily life of a soldier was then,”
Meyer continued. “It was something I can’t imagine enduring for
even a week.”
When Lincoln died April 15,
1865, of an assassin’s bullet,
Wilkins’ diary reflected the soldiers’ stunned grief “and how
everybody was so angry that they
were so close to victory when
Lincoln’s life was taken,” Meyer
said. Wilkins had enlisted for duty
because “he was very intent on
preserving the Union,” Meyer said.
“Our country was close to falling
apart, and if he and others had not
done what they did, hard telling
what this country would be today.”
“Always remembering our past
and our history is one of the most
important things we can do,”
Kesner said.
Veteran
From Page 29
In 1947 Murphy moved to
Cleveland and married the love of
his life, Betty Sue Wooden, in
1952. The couple had three
daughters and a son in contrast
to Murphy’s own parents who
had three sons and a daughter.
That’s where the similarity of
Murphy and his parents ends.
Murphy stuck with his wife and
children for better or for worse, in
sickness and in health, and said
he never once regretted the
choices he made in the name of
love.
Murphy, a family man at
heart, worked 25 years for the
Tennessee Valley Authority,
building power generating facilities. He continued his community service, working with the
Cleveland Police Department for
12 years, escorting funerals,
unlocking and jump starting
cars as well as performing other
civic duties until his wife had a
stroke that paralyzed her left
side.
He loved, honored and cherished her until she passed away
after 53 years of marriage.
Appreciating what it means both
as a child and as an adult to have
family and to lose family, Murphy
said the thing that keeps him
going is his own children and
grandchildren.
“I have to keep them straight,”
he said. “I still walk the line. I’d
like for them to do the same and
that’s what keeps me going.”
Raised as an orphan, adopted
by Uncle Sam and esteemed as a
family patriarch, Murphy’s life
has come full circle as a man who
faced adversity, fulfilled his obligations and learned a lot from
life’s experiences.
That, in itself, may have
earned him a seat at the fanciful
“Table of Wisdom.” But it also
adds to his credentials as a man
born into what’s been called the
greatest generation in history.

In online era, chefs face scorn, raves of the amateur critic
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The
online reviews had filtered in,
and they weren’t good: The
restaurant Mark Cammarano
had invested nearly all of his
mother’s retirement money in
got just two stars.
So the FYI Network — known
for gimmicky reality TV shows
like “Married at First Sight” —
offered to step in with “Say it to
My Face,” a new show in which
he would meet some of those
naysayers face-to-face and confront what they had to say. Then,
with the help of two-star chefs,
he could try to change their
opinions. Cammarano took the
gamble.
But gathered in Cammarano’s
family-style restaurant in the
Los Angeles suburb of Simi
Valley, things got testy, quickly.
“I had an arugula and steak
salad,” said Ryan Carrillo, a
reality TV personality and artistic roller skating champion
who’d dined at the restaurant.
“It was literally one of the worst
things I have ever ordered in my
life. The steak was raw. The
quality of the meat was very
low.”
“Do you know what carpaccio
is?” Cammarano shot back. “It’s
raw meat, right?”
“Correct,” Carrillo said. “I said
the quality of the meat was low
so I couldn’t eat it. Of course the
meat was raw.”
Cammarano crossed his arms
and looked down, frustration
running through his grim but
muted expression.
The plot might have seemed
perfectly crafted to reel in viewers, but it also hit on a real tension in the food world. Online
blogs and user-generated sites
like Instagram and Yelp let every
customer be a critic — meaning
one undercooked dish or forgot-
ten drink can quickly show up
online for all the world to see. As
newspapers trim their staffs —
including expensive restaurant
critics — and millennials flock to
online-only reviews, the amateur
critic has, in many ways, taken
center stage. And that is changing not just the chef-critic
dynamic, but the entire restaurant-customer relationship.
Digitally savvy chefs have
found ways to build their brands
online — chef and food TV star
Anthony Bourdain has more
Twitter followers than the British
monarchy. But for those who are
just starting or have no online
presence at all, one bad review
can indeed be searing. A working
paper by Harvard University
business administration professor Michael Luca found a onestar increase on Yelp brings
restaurants a 5 to 9 percent
increase in revenue, and that
independent restaurants benefit
most.
“This suggests that online
consumer reviews substitute for
more traditional forms of reputation,” the study concluded.
To be certain, the bona fide
newspaper restaurant critic
commands clout. Their numbers, however, have been dwindling. Food sections have shrunk
and several notable reviewers
laid-off. Meanwhile, the number
of blogs dedicated to food has
risen exponentially. By one estimate, there were more than
18,000 in 2013.
“Increasingly,
newspapers
don’t want to spend the money,”
said Ruth Reichl, a James Beard
award-winning critic and author.
“Serious reviews have to be balanced and fair which online
reviews aren’t. Every restaurant
has its good days and bad days.
Serious critics go a number of

The traditional restaurant review is being drowned out by a chorus of

times to make sure they are getting a fair picture.”
Amanda Hesser, former food
editor of The New York Times
Magazine and co-founder of
Food52, an online hub for cooks,
said readers have traditionally
looked to the newspaper and
magazine reviews for validation
in their decision of where to
dine, but also for reading pleasure. Readers enjoy what the
reviewer has to say and might
identify with the sensitivities of a
particular critic. In light of the
ongoing shift, she said the “reading for pleasure aspect” has
become much more important.
“The utility aspect of a review
kind of maybe matters less
because user-generated reviews
exist,” she said.
If there’s any doubt that
restaurants still closely watch
what the newspaper critic writes,
one need only look to Texas,
where a group of chefs revolted
against a Dallas Morning News
critic last year by refusing to let
her pay for meals when she visited to review their restaurants —
hoping, in turn, that she would
be unable to write about them at
all. Chefs accused her of running
an errant star-system which
they said confused customers by
making it difficult to distinguish
between fine dining and taco
stands.
Sal Jafar II, co-owner of Proof
+ Pantry, which started the
revolt, said, “It’s a little dangerous for a person to have that
much power.”
CANNES WATCH: Portman eschews politics, Mara’s fashion coup
CANNES, France (AP) — The
first week of the Cannes Film
Festival came to an end this
weekend with plenty of buzz.
Natalie Portman talked about
why her new film in Israel is not
political, there was an honor for
Jane Fonda and a big deal for
Tom Ford.
And then there was also
Sylvester Stallone, making news
outside of the festival.
The Associated Press’ journalists were on hand, capturing all
the details:

ROONEY MARA TAKES TOP
BILLING ON RED CARPET:
Rooney Mara scored a fashion
coup at the “Carol” premiere in a
diaphanous white gown that
upstaged her more famous costar Cate Blanchett.
Thirty-year-old Mara plays
opposite Blanchett in the captivating lesbian drama and wowed
crowds Sunday with her simple,
yet elegant silk dress with delicate halter neck and white make
up.
Blanchett looked typically ravishing, arm in arm with director
Todd Haynes.
But the 46-year-old star’s
shoulderless bustier dress came
over a tad busy with clashing
blue prints and huge proportions
in the train that ushers needed
to help her with.

PORTMAN STAYS
APOLITICAL (IN FILM)
Natalie Portman’s directorial
debut, “A Tale of Love and
Darkness,” is set around the
time of the formation of Israel,
but the Oscar-winning actress
says it doesn’t have a political
agenda.
The film, adapted from an
autobiographical novel by Amos
Oz, premiered over the weekend
at the Cannes Film Festival. It

charts the birth of the state and
a boy’s initiation into the realities
of disappointment and death.
“I think the movie is very much
about this very particular, specific family story. Of course, it happens at a crazy moment in history, which I think is a big sort of
weight on their backs. It’s sort of
a pressure cooker for the family,
but there’s not really a political
agenda behind it,” said Portman
in an interview with The
Associated Press on Sunday.
“(Amos) Oz became one of
Israel’s leading peace advocates,
so it’s not the most controversial,
I suppose, of political aspects to
the film.”
The Israeli-born Portman also
wrote the screenplay and stars in
the Hebrew-language feature as
the boy’s mother Fania, a cultured and imaginative woman
whose dreams can’t withstand
grinding everyday reality.
For Portman, making the film
in Hebrew was imperative.
“The language is so important
to the story and such an important character,” she said.
“Someone said to me once,
‘Americans always want to make
foreign movies and have French
characters or Spanish characters
speak English, but with a French
accent or Spanish accent and it’s
so silly.’ Could you imagine making a movie about George
Washington in French and having him have an American accent
in French?”
Portman’s film is playing as a
special screening outside of the
main competition at Cannes. It’s
gotten a lukewarm response
from critics, but at the premiere,
it received a standing ovation.

LAW GETS RELIGION:
Jude Law is the new pope.
The British actor will play the
fictional Pope Pius XIII in “The
Young Pope,” a miniseries directed by Italian filmmaker Paolo
Sorrentino.
The series — a co-production
of HBO, Sky and France’s Canal
Plus — was announced Sunday
in Cannes, where Sorrentino’s
film “Youth” is competing for the
Palme d’Or. Filming is due to
begin this summer.
Law will play Lenny Belardo,
who is thrust into the role of
pope and must grapple with his
faith and the powerful structures
of the church.
Sorrentino, who will co-write
the eight-part series, said it
would explore “the inner struggle
between the huge responsibility
of the Head of the Catholic
Church and the miseries of the
simple man that fate (or the Holy
Spirit) chose as pontiff.”

Take the mad out of money with these tips
NEW YORK (AP) — As a financial planner, Jeff Motske has
spent 26 years helping couples
navigate one of their most contentious and emotional issues:
money.
The investing of it. The saving
of it. The spending of it.
Finances can be a big, breakuplevel deal at any stage of a relationship. That’s why Motske
believes more people need to
know each other intimately —
financially speaking — before
walking down the aisle.
“Both people need to be
involved in the finances,
whether they like it or not,” he
said in a recent interview.
“There’s so much hiding. Hiding
of debt. Hiding of spending.”
Motske, in Orange County,
California, has rounded up
anecdotes, interviews and tips
in a new book, “The Couple’s
Guide
to
Financial
Compatibility,” out in March
from Da Capo Lifelong Books:
—AP: How widespread is the
problem of couples not communicating openly and honestly
about money?
Motske: It’s a huge problem.
Many couples choose not to talk
about money, versus all the
other sensitive topics, and if you
don’t talk about it, you’re more
than likely going to start fighting. It leads to really stressful
relationships.
Financial discord is among
the largest causes of divorce.
One study says couples who
fight about finances once a week
are 37 percent more likely to get
divorced than couples who
rarely argue about finances.
Those who fight daily are 69
percent more likely to get
divorced compared to couples
who rarely fight about money.
AP: Tell me about your War of
the Wallets Quiz. Why did you
create it and what should be the
goal of taking it?
Motske: The quiz is the door
opener to start communicating
and solving problems. There are
a lot of different areas of life
that couples never even think
about.
A great one I had recently was
a couple came in that had been
married for 20 years and one of
the questions on the quiz is
about elder care, if all of a sudden mom couldn’t take care of
herself any more. One spouse
said, ‘That’s easy. Mom would
move in with us’ and the other
spouse said, ‘No way that’s happening.’
Another huge one on the quiz
is retirement. Most couples

No flying trash
Dear Heloise: When a
garbage truck picks up and flips
a large trash receptacle, loose
garbage flies everywhere, making
a mess. Multiply that by all the
containers, and it creates a monster mess!
Please encourage people to
BAG their garbage before throwing it into a big bin, and avoid
throwing loose garbage into the
bin. Small acts can lead to huge
results. — Dave G., Kihei, Maui,

Aloha, David! It is a Catch-22
situation. Yes, putting garbage in
a bag first will keep trash from
flying around. Yes, it will help
keep things neat. However, plastic garbage bags may NOT break
down in a landfill. Having lived in
Hawaii as a young girl, I know
how beautiful it is, so of course I
want to help. You can buy
biodegradable bags, and that’s
an upside. Read labels carefully.
Many of these bags say they are

AP: What’s the biggest mistake couples make in not planning their financial futures?

battle.
Unfortunately

many
Americans have huge debt problems. About $1,500 is the average per household outstanding
credit card balance for those in
debt. Student loan debt is
prevalent. In most cases spending is more unconscious than
conscious because they don’t
track their expenses. They don’t
have a budget. Seventy percent
of American households don’t
have a budget.

expenses.
It’s shocking how many people start coloring their credit
card statements with that last
category because credit cards
are an emotional swipe and it’s
done. That has helped couples a
lot. That one exercise gets couples to see their conscious and
unconscious spending.
AP: In what ways do couples
not fight fair about money?
What’s your best advice for
staying on the right track?
Motske: It’s where one person
feels like they can splurge
because they got this big bonus
and it’s kind of a power, controltype issue, and the other one
resents that deeply but doesn’t
say anything and it builds up.
Many couples have a mental
financial scoreboard and they
keep
hurting
themselves
because it builds and builds
and builds.
I was just reading a report the
other day. Experian had a marriage survey out and this is really strange to me: It said the
average guy will spend $1,231
before discussing it with their
spouse and the average woman
will spend $396. That is a huge
disconnect, that there should be
that big of a disparity in a relationship.
They just don’t work together
a lot of the time. Once a month
go on a financial date night,
where you can sit down and
openly discuss your goals. You’ll
be amazed how it can transform
a relationship. Get it all out on
the table in a safe environment.
AP: How do you suggest
teaching kids about money so
they can avoid friction later with
life partners?
Motske: Your kids watch you
and how you spend money. The
earlier you start teaching them
about money and saving and
spending and credit cards, the
better off they’re going to be.
Just giving them money all the
time isn’t going to get that done.
One person I interviewed for
the book doesn’t use allowance
but uses a job board, where the
kids apply for certain jobs and
get paid for that at the end of
the week. If they don’t apply,
they don’t get paid. I think it’s
cool to think of it that way. If
you think of it from an employment perspective they’re going
to start to understand how to
apply for things, how a paycheck works.
Allow them to make decisions
rather than just handing over
entitlements.

Judge not by smell the awesomeness that is fish sauce
By AARTI SEQUEIRA
Associated Press
I’m pretty sure that if I let you
sniff some fish sauce, it would be
pretty hard to convince you to
cook with it. No, the potent, nighon acrid scent is not this beloved
sauce’s most seductive asset.
And funnily enough, it’s not
even its flavor (at least not on its
own) that would win you over. It’s
what happens when you dribble a
little fish sauce into stir-fries, curries, marinades, even salad dressings. Suddenly, your dish takes
on a depth of flavor you hadn’t
previously detected, a complexity
that you can’t quite put your finger on, a strong punch of meatiness without tasting meaty.
And that pungent aroma? You
won’t be able to detect it. But you
won’t want to go without this precious bottle of fish sauce again.
It’s a rather ego-less ingredient
in that way; fish sauce is not at its
best on its own. But my, what a
team player. And it’s that ability,
to transform its fellow co-habitants into something better than

THIS PHOTO shows Vietnamese style skirt steak with asparagus
and scalliions in Concord, N.H.
Balance out all that saltiness with
just a dash of brown sugar and a
good squeeze of lime juice, as I do
in my Vietnamese-style skirt
steak. You don’t have to make an
Asian-style marinade either. I’ve
made a great one using fish
sauce, balsamic vinegar, honey
and garlic.
Vietnamese-Style
Skirt Steak With Asparagus
And Scallions
You’ll find fish sauce in the
Asian or international section of
just about any grocer.
Start to finish: 45 minutes (20
minutes active)
Servings: 4
3 tablespoons fish sauce
1/4 cup lime juice
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon minced ginger
2 teaspoons brown sugar
1 pound skirt steak
1 large bunch thin asparagus,
trimmed
2 bunches scallions, bottoms
trimmed
Sunflower or canola oil
Kosher salt and ground black
pepper
In a large zip-close plastic bag,
mix together the fish sauce, lime
juice, garlic, ginger and brown
sugar. Taste for seasoning, adding
more sugar or lime juice if the
marinade is too salty. Place the
skirt steak in the marinade, making sure it’s well covered. Seal the
bag and set aside on the counter
for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare a grill for
direct medium-high heat.
Toss the asparagus and scallions with a little sunflower oil,
salt and pepper. Set aside. After
30 minutes, remove the steak
from the marinade and place on a
paper towel-lined plate to remove
excess marinade.
Using an oil-soaked paper towel
held with tongs, oil the grill grates.
Set the steak on the grill and cook
for 3 minutes, depending on the
thickness of the meat, until a good
charred crust develops on the
underside. Flip and cook for
another 2 minutes, or until a meat
thermometer inserted into the
thickest part of the meat registers
125 F. Transfer the steak to a
warm plate, tent lightly with foil
and allow to rest 5 to 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, place the asparagus and scallions on the grill and
cook the scallions for 2 to 3 minutes, or until slightly wilted, and
the asparagus for 5 to 7 minutes,
or until very lightly browned.
Slice the steak across the grain
and serve over the grilled vegetables, with a fresh squeeze of lime
juice, if desired.

Getting to the core of the matter! Eat your pineapple cores!
By MELISSA D’ ARABIAN
Associated Press
Eating fresh pineapple always
reminds me of balmy vacation
nights in Hawaii. And since
pineapples run a few bucks a
pop, buying them frequently
translates into considerable savings when compared to an actual
trip to Hawaii, particularly when
you’re carting along four girls, as
I would be. Admittedly, the
pineapple is a tad less exotic...
Still, it’s a great sweet summer
treat.
Pineapple gets its unmistakable sweetness from natural sugars, of course, but this tropical
fruit also is a fantastic source of
vitamin C and fiber. But here’s
another thing to get excited
about: Pineapples are packed
with protein-tenderizing enzymes
that can do very cool things in
the kitchen.
For example, these enzymes
prevent gelatin from gelling. So
step away from the aspics and
gelatin salads if you are using
fresh raw pineapple. But those
same enzymes can work wonders
in marinades. That is, so long as
you don’t let the meat linger too
long in the pineapple juice.
About 20 minutes is plenty for
most meats.
The problem with pineapple
(not counting loose gelatin) is
that we routinely toss about 25
percent of our fruit when we
throw out the core! Admittedly,
the core is more fibrous than the
rest of the pineapple. But as an
avid snacker of the pineapple
core, I think this issue is minor.
Solving for the extra fiber is quite
AP Photo
THIS PHOTO shows a pineapple core ceviche recipe in Concord,
N.H.
simple: Cut the core down to
smaller pieces (think tiny dice or
thin slices), or cook it to soften.
For example, you could slice
the core thinly into coins for easy
snacking. You also could grill the
coins and drizzle them with
honey. Or dice the core, saute it
in just a splash of oil, then spoon
over Greek yogurt for a dessert.
Or pickle cubes of the core with
hot water, vinegar, sugar and
maybe a pinch of red pepper
flakes.
In this recipe, I take the core of
a pineapple and pair it with citrus juice and shrimp to make a
summertime classic — ceviche.
The acid and enzymes in the
pineapple essentially “cook” the
raw shrimp, but you also can use
cooked shrimp or fish, if you prefer. If so, you can reduce the
marinating time to about 15 min-
utes.
—PINEAPPLE CORE CEVICHE
Start to finish: 1 hour and 15
minutes
Servings: 6
1 pound raw shrimp, any size,
shelled and deveined, cut into
1/4-inch pieces
1/2 cup lime juice
1/2 cup orange juice
1/3 cup finely chopped
pineapple core (or the core of one
large pineapple)
1/2 small sweet onion, finely
diced
2 serrano or jalapeno chilies,
finely diced (for less heat, remove
the seeds)
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger (optional)
1 medium avocado, halved,
pitted and chopped
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Kosher salt and ground black
pepper
Small butter lettuce leaves, to
serve
Sliced radishes, to serve
Lime wedges, to serve
In a large bowl, combine the
shrimp, lime juice and orange
juice. Toss well, then refrigerate.
For a tender ceviche, marinate
for 30 minutes. For a firmer texture, let marinate for 1 to 2
hours.
Once the shrimp has marinated, drain and discard the juice.
Return the shrimp to the bowl
and add the chopped pineapple
core, onion, chilies, ginger (if
using), avocado and cilantro.
Toss well, then season with salt
and pepper. Serve immediately
with butter lettuce leaves (to use
as wraps and cups). Offer sliced
radishes and lime wedges on the
side as toppings.
The dish can be prepared
ahead. To do so, cover tightly
after draining and tossing with
the onion and pepper, then
refrigerate. About 30 minutes
before serving, add the avocado
and cilantro.

School’s almost out, so it’s time to get schooled on burgers
By Elizabeth Karmel
Associate Press
As food goes, it’s hard to imagine anything more American —
and that more perfectly captures
summer — than a great grilled
hamburger.
Trouble is, as much as we love
a great burger, we’re not always
all that great at making them.
That’s because there is more to
making burgers than serving
time at the grill. But if you master
a few easy tips and techniques,
you can produce burgers that will
blow you away. And the good
news is that almost everything
can be done in advance.
Let’s start with the meat. If you
want a rich, juicy burger, you
have to use ground meat that has
some natural fat. Ground chuck
is the most common choice. The
chuck is ground from the beef
shoulder and has enough natural
fat to give your burger a rich,
moist flavor.
You can use 100 percent
chuck, or you can do what I do
and use a combination of ground
sirloin and ground chuck.
If you buy quality, freshly
ground meat, a little salt and
pepper is all you need to season a
burger. But to enhance the beefiness, I also like to add a dash of
dry mustard powder and a bit of
Worcestershire sauce.
Now let’s talk about mixing
and forming the meat. It’s important that you not overwork the
meat. The more your work the
mix, the tougher and drier the
burgers will be.
To form the patties, it’s best to
loosely scoop up a 1/3-pound
mound of the meat mixture, then
gently pat it into a patty. When
you are happy with the shape,
make a depression in the center
with your finger. This depression
is the key to a perfect patty.
Now, the cooking. Burgers
should be cooked directly over
medium to medium-high heat.
They should take 8 to 10 minutes
total, 4 to 5 minutes per side.
And please resist the urge to
mash the burgers down with the
spatula. This just causes all the
yummy juices to leak out. Also,
only turn the burger once
halfway through the cooking
time, after about 4 minutes.
BEST BASIC BURGER
You can make this burger with
all ground chuck or a combination of chuck and sirloin. My
“house burger” is a mixture of
chuck and sirloin enhanced by
Worcestershire sauce and dry
mustard, which make the burgers taste meatier. You also can
prep the burgers up to a day
ahead and keep them refrigerated
until ready to grill.
Start to finish: 20 minutes
Servings: 6
1 pound ground chuck
1 pound ground sirloin
1 tablespoon Worcestershire
sauce
1 teaspoon Coleman’s Mustard
powder
Kosher salt and ground black
pepper
Olive oil
Buns, to serve
Condiments and toppings, as
desired
Heat the grill to medium.
In a large bowl, combine the
chuck, sirloin, Worcestershire,
mustard powder, 1/2 teaspoon
salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
Use a fork to carefully and gently
mix just until well combined. Do
not overmix.
Gently divide the meat into 6
mounds, then shape each into a
patty. Use your thumb to create
an indentation in the center of
each patty. Lightly brush each
patty all over with olive oil.
Make sure your grill’s cooking
grate is clean of all debris. Add
the burgers and grill until the
meat is no longer pink, 8 to 10
minutes, turning once halfway
through grilling time. If making
cheeseburgers, top each burger
with cheese after you turn it. Let
the burgers rest about 5 minutes
then serve on buns with condiments and toppings as desired.

ADK program features
HUGS leader Violet Lee
Young widows speak out
on managing grief, support
NEW YORK (AP) — Nine days
after her husband died unexpectedly, Sheryl Sandberg took to
Facebook to describe her return
to the sidelines for her daughter’s
soccer game. There, a grandmother who had been widowed
prematurely years earlier offered
her a chair.
It was a small but telling gesture that touched dozens of
younger widows like Sandberg,
who at 45 has two small children
to raise in “this terrible, terrible
club that no one wants to join,”
as one of her sympathetic
Facebook commenters put it.
Grief need never be compared,
but the “club” that is the
Facebook exec’s new normal
includes members who feel set
apart from older counterparts
navigating the deaths of spouses
much later in life.
Party invitations dwindle.
Bereavement groups confuse and
annoy both sides as older and
younger grievers are thrown
together. What about dating?
What about sex? What about
money and careers and managing
the emotional toll on the kids?
“Some of the older widows
would say things like, ‘Well, you
have your whole life ahead of you.
What do you have to worry
about?’ We feel so out of sync.
Suddenly we’re the ones thrown
out in the cold and our lives have
been turned upside down,” said
Becky Aikman, who was 49 when
her husband died of cancer.
Aikman tried a traditional loss
group for widows, finding herself
set apart from the 70- and 80year-old somethings. She was
kicked out after challenging the
facilitator’s approach and jokingly dubbed herself the “misfit
widow,” eventually seeking out
five other young widows like herself to share a year’s adventures
for a book, “Saturday Night
Widows.”
At 60, Aikman said she and the
ladies remain great friends.
Linda Feinberg was a therapist
years
ago
in
Andover,
Massachusetts, when she met a
young widow at a pool. They both
had 3-year-olds and her new
friend described similar treatment when she sought support:
“They said to her, ‘You’re young
and beautiful. What are you
doing here? You’re going to get
married again and be happy,’”
recalled Feinberg, who went on to
form a network of loss groups for
young widows and write a book,
“I’m Grieving as Fast as I Can:
How Young Widows and
Widowers Can Cope and Heal.”
“There’s much more lack of
acceptance of young widowed
people than there is for middle
age or older widowed people,”
Feinberg said. “Society expects
people to lose their spouses as
they age. They don’t expect young
widowed people and they find it
very, very scary.”
Alpha Delta Kappa’s May program featured Violet Lee as guest
speaker. Lee, a high school student, is the leader of Cleveland
HUGS. (Help Us Give Something).
HUGS was started in 2012 as a
chapter of Tennessee HUGS,
which was founded as an organization whose mission was to collect shoes of those in need. Since
that time, the local organization’s
mission and purpose have
extended to include collecting all
types of items which could benefit the less fortunate and to serve
as a supporter of nonprofit
organizations, such as Relay for
Life, ROCK (Raising Our Celiac
Kids), and Be the Match bone
marrow registry.
Lee shared with the membership she has always had a heart
to help others and became even
more inspired to work in the
community after her family’s
home was destroyed in the 2011
tornadoes. The assistance given
to her family motivated her to
start an organization which could
“pay it forward.”
Lee is a young lady of extraordinary passion and talent, evidenced by the knowledge she
conveyed regarding altruistic
opportunities and her involvement in them. Alpha Delta Kappa
was honored to learn of the positive difference being made by this
exemplary teenager and her supportive family.

Slow and steady biking Idaho’s remote Weiser River Trail
NEW MEADOWS, Idaho (AP) —
No matter how speedily things are
moving in the outside world, the
pace is slow and steady on central
Idaho’s Weiser River Trail, a converted rail bed that runs 85 miles
(137 kilometers) between two
small towns in one of this state’s
most beautiful areas.
The trail takes travelers
through forest, orchards, ranchland, and then, in the southern
portion, through spectacular
sagebrush canyons with black
lava cliffs.
I rode the trail with my family,
starting at the upper end, about
2,000 vertical feet (600 meters)
above the endpoint in Weiser. (It
would be all uphill if you went in
the other direction.)
The Pacific & Idaho Northern
railroad company, or P&IN,
blazed the trail through the landscape around the turn of the 19th
century, reaching the small town
of Council in 1901, according to a
recent history of the area by Dale
Fisk, the editor of the local Adams
County Record newspaper.
The railroad was built to take
travelers between the city of
Boise and the four small towns of
Weiser, Midvale, Council and
Cambridge. It carried Gold Rush
fortune-hunters up to the mountains, and took copper ore from
the mountain’s mines back to the
city.
Things are a little quieter
around the trail these days.

way to the nonprofit group
Friends of the Weiser River Trail
in August 1997, and the Friends
have worked hard to maintain
the rail bed for runners, walkers,
hunters and bikers.
Signs of recent bear traffic are
everywhere. When we traveled
the wide, graded path last fall, we
ran into few other humans - just
a quartet of bow-hunters on bicycles who were scoping out the
territory, and some apple-pickers
checking out the harvest.
Friends who rode it in late
September met cowboys herding
cattle down the trail.
Starting at the upper end of
the trail, the trail gets off to an
unprepossessing start on an
unmarked dirt road just off
Highway 95 near the small town
of New Meadows. It quickly
enters the woods, passing over
streams on exquisite trestle
bridges that have been remade
for bicyclists.
The trail passes by the
Tamarack Lumber Mill and its
colossal log yard before heading
away from the road.
Riding the Weiser River Trail is
serene, but it isn’t easy. The
Friends group uses a mechanical
roller to flatten the terrain, but
they can’t pave it; not only do they
not have the money, but some of
their most fervent supporters ride
horses on it. So for bikers, the
terrain is packed dirt, soft enough
to slow progress, and is occasionally studded with rocks. Cattle
gates cause frequent stops.
But the beauty and surprises of
traveling so far from roads more
than make up for the labor of riding the bumps.
Around Fruitvale, the trail was
lined with overloaded apple trees.
A local man who was collecting
apples told us the trees were from
Fruitvale’s days as a minor
orchard area.
The enticing thing about the
Weiser River Trail is that it travels
to places few people ever get to
see, through river valleys that
look almost untouched by
humans, through cattle pastures
where the animals and green
trees appear recently washed by
the rain.
It also runs deep into Owyhee
canyonlands, through miles of
roadless area where birds of prey,
elk, mule deer and bear shelter. If
you have time to stop and fish the
Weiser for a while, all the better.

Study: Hospitals vary
widely in how hard they
try to save preemies
By MARILYNN MARCHIONE
AP Chief Medical Writer

In thIs MAy 6, 2010 file photo, a radiologist uses a magnifying glass to check mammograms for breast cancer in Los Angeles.
Screening for cancer has gotten more complicated in recent years with evolving guidelines that sometimes conflict. Now a doctors’
group aims to ease some confusion and encourage more discussion of testing’s pros and cons, with what it calls advice on “highvalue screening” for five types of tumors.
Cancer screening confusion
Doctors’ group hopes to offer guidance
WASHINGTON (AP) —
Mammograms at 40 or 50?
Every year or every other
year? What’s the best colon
check?
Screening for cancer has
gotten more complicated in
recent years with evolving
guidelines that sometimes
conflict. Now a doctors’ group
aims to ease some confusion
— and encourage more discussion of testing’s pros and
cons — with what it calls
advice on “high-value screening” for five types of tumors.
Too often, even the doctors
who order those tests aren’t
sure of the latest recommendations, said Dr. Wayne J.
Riley, president of the
American College of
Physicians, which published
the advice Monday in the
journal Annals of Internal
Medicine.
“We want to make sure that
folks get the right test at the
right time for the right conditions,” Riley said. “We also
want our physician colleagues to try to avoid the
customary, knee-jerk reaction
to just test without having
some sort of dialogue” about
the right choice for each
patient.
So the ACP, internal medicine specialists, reviewed
leading cancer screening
guidelines to find the least
intensive testing strategies
with the broadest expert consensus.
Dr. Richard Wender of the
American Cancer Society said
even though it disagrees on
some specifics, emphasizing
areas of agreement is valuable, a starting point for
those doctor-patient conversations.
Cancer screening is a balance to ensure the people
who will benefit most get
checked while not over-testing. After all, there are potential harms including false
alarms that spark unneeded
extra testing, and sometimes
detection of tumors too small
and slow-growing to be lifethreatening.
On the other hand, the
Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention reported this
month that too few people
who clearly should be getting
screened for certain cancers
are. For example, 58 percent
of people ages 50 to 75 had
been recently checked for colorectal cancer; the government goal is 70.5 percent.
The American College of
Physicians’ advice:
BREAST CANCER
The American Cancer
Society has long recommended annual mammograms
starting at age 40. The U.S.
Preventive Services Task
Force, which advises the government, says to get mammograms every other year from
age 50 to 74, and says starting at age 40 brings little
benefit but should be a personal choice if women are
told the pros and cons.
The ACP sided with the
task force’s approach, saying
even experts who prefer
mammograms at 40 agree
that women should be fully
informed of the pros and
cons to help them decide for
themselves.
Routine screening isn’t for
30-somethings, and more
expensive MRI scans aren’t
for screening average-risk
women, yet the ACP said doctors sometimes order both.
COLORECTAL CANCER
Colonoscopies, which allow
doctors to see precancerous
growths in the colon, get the
most attention. But the ACP
advised people ages 50 to 74 to
choose from equally good
screening choices: a stool test
every year; a colonoscopy every
10 years; a sigmoidoscopy,
which views the lower colon,
every five years; or a combination of a stool test every three
years and a sigmoidoscopy
every five years.
The ACP said 60 percent of
adults have colonoscopies
more frequently than needed,
adding no medical value but
lots of cost.
CERVICAL CANCER
Screening choices vary by
age. The ACP found widespread support for a Pap test
every three years starting at
age 21. Starting at age 30,
women may choose a combination of Pap and a test for
the HPV virus that causes
cervical cancer, a combination that lets them go five
years between tests.
There’s little value in continuing to test women older
than 65 if they were properly
screened and had no problems; and HPV tests aren’t
recommended before age 30
because HPV is so common
in younger women.
PROSTATE CANCER
PSA blood tests are highly
controversial, with some
groups recommending against
them and others saying men
should get them only after a
discussion of the pros and
cons. The ACP’s advice:
Doctors should tell men ages
50 to 69 about the pros and
cons, and order the test for
those who then request it.
A third of men having PSA
testing don’t recall even being
told the test was ordered, the
ACP said.
OVARIAN CANCER
The new review found leading medical groups all recommend against blood tests and
pelvic or ultrasound exams to
screen for ovarian cancer in
average-risk women. While
this cancer often has spread
by the time it’s discovered,
there is no proven screening
test for it.
They weigh as little as a pound
yet force some of the toughest
choices in all of medicine.
Extremely premature babies face
big differences in how hard hospitals try to save them, a study
finds.
It is the first major look in the
U.S. at how preemies fare according to the care they get.
There was a wide range — some
hospitals always gave active treatment to the youngest preemies as
opposed to just comfort care, but
others never did. Researchers had
no information on how parental
wishes affected the decisions versus hospital policy, but said that
probably was not the main factor
because differences in care from
one place to another were so large.
Parents need to know that “the
hospital that you go to might
determine what happens to your
baby,” although many parents are
not in a position to shop around
when they find themselves in
these emergency situations, said
one study leader, Dr. Edward Bell
of the University of Iowa.
They also should be given better
information on survival odds —
not just by gestational age but
also by what happens if active
care is given, said another study
leader, medical student Matthew
Rysavy.
“A doctor might say ‘no 22-week
infant has ever survived,’” but that
might mask the fact that doctors
there don’t try, because they don’t
consider such babies viable, he
said.
Trying is not always the right
thing to do, and could just prolong
dying, independent experts said.
Survival odds are influenced by
many factors besides care, such
as whether the baby is a twin, and
even gender — girls tend to fare
better.
“We just seem to be resuscitating more and more tinier babies,
and there are consequences,” said
Dr. Jonathan Muraskas, a neonatologist at Loyola University
Medical Center in Maywood,
Illinois.
Despite medical advances, the
rates of cerebral palsy, blindness,
deafness, asthma and other major
problems have not changed much,
he said.
“How low do we go and what are
the implications?” he said.
The study is in Thursday’s New
England Journal of Medicine.
About 12,000 babies each year
in the United States are born
between 22 and 25 weeks gestation. A full-term pregnancy is
about 40 weeks.
Tundi and Nate Brady faced
this twice, with different outcomes, when she went into labor
with twins around 23 weeks into
her pregnancy at University of
Iowa Hospitals and Clinics. When
the first twin was born, “it was
very clear” that doctors did not
think she would survive, so the
couple declined life support and
the baby died 20 minutes later,
Tundi Brady said.
But then her labor stopped and
she was able to go another week
until her son, Dexter, was born
weighing about a pound. Doctors
estimated he would have a 40 percent chance of surviving and a 70
percent chance of disability if he
did.
“That was good enough for us,”
so they chose aggressive treatment, she said. He spent five
months in a neonatal intensive
care unit and is now a healthy
5½-year-old.
“We were so lucky,” she said.
The study involved nearly 5,000
babies born before 27 weeks gestation at 24 hospitals in a
research group run by the
National Institutes of Health
between April 2006 and March
2011.
Researchers looked at rates of
comfort care versus active treatment, such as breathing
machines, feeding tubes or heart
resuscitation. Active treatment
was given to 22 percent of babies
born at 22 weeks, 72 percent of
those at 23 weeks and nearly all
beyond that.
Survival rates were higher for
the actively treated babies — 23
percent versus 5 percent for all
babies in the study born at 22
weeks, and 33 percent versus 24
percent for those born at 23
weeks.
Survival without severe impairment also was higher with treatment: 15 percent versus 3 percent
at 22 weeks, and 25 percent versus 18 percent at 23 weeks.
Four hospitals never actively
treated babies at 22 weeks, but
five other hospitals always did.
Hospitals’ actions had “a dramatic influence” on how infants
fared, Dr. Neil Marlow of
University College London commented in the journal.
Study: Severe vision loss is
most common in the South
NEW YORK (AP) — Health officials say bad eyesight in the U.S.
is most common in the South.
A new report found the South
was home to three-quarters of
the U.S. counties with the highest prevalence of severe vision
loss.
The South also has higher
rates of poverty, diabetes and
chronic disease. Health officials
believe those problems are all
related to the vision loss.
The Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention released
the report Thursday. Overall,
about 3 percent of people had
severe vision loss. The highest
rate was from Owsley County,
Kentucky, which surpassed 18
percent.
The study is the CDC’s first
county-level assessment of blindness and severe vision loss. It’s
based on millions of U.S. Census
Bureau survey responses from
2009 through 2013.

Study: Fewer kids have severe mental problems; more are getting help
By MARILYNN MARCHIONE
AP Chief Medical Writer
Contrary to public perception
and horrific cases that make
headlines, serious mental problems are declining among the
nation’s youth, and there has
been a big rise in how many are
getting help, a new study finds.
The study is mostly good
news: More children and teens
are taking mental health medicines than ever before, but more
also are getting therapy, not
just pills. The biggest rise in
treatment rates has been among
the most troubled kids.
“There’s a concern out there
that a lot of children and adolescents are receiving mental
health treatments, particularly
medications, that they don’t
need,” especially for conditions
such as attention deficit hyper-
activity disorder, said the
study’s leader, Dr. Mark Olfson,
a psychiatrist at Columbia
University Medical Center and
the New York State Psychiatric
Institute.
Instead, the results suggest
“that at least in some ways,
we’re moving in the right direction,” by getting help to kids
who need it most, he said.
The dark cloud: More than
half of severely troubled kids get
no help at all.
The study used nationwide
surveys done by the federal
Agency for Healthcare Research
and Quality over three periods
from 1996 to 2012, covering
more than 53,000 youths ages 6
to 17. Results are in Thursday’s
New England Journal of
Medicine.
Some highlights, which compare the first survey to the most
recent one:
SEVERE MENTAL
PROBLEMS DECLINING
The percentage of youths with
serious impairments dropped
from 13 percent to 11 percent.
“There’s a public perception
that there are more and more
kids who have these disorders,
and the new report challenges
that,” Olfson said. Other
research has found drops in
rates of binge drinking and
dropping out of school, so the
new study “does fit with other
trends,” he said.
MORE ARE GETTING CARE
Use of any outpatient mental
health service rose from 9 percent to 13 percent. The rise was
greatest for severely troubled
kids, and went from 26 percent
to 44 percent — from 1.56 million annually to 2.28 million.
Among kids with less or no
impairment, the portion getting
treatment went from about 7
percent to nearly 10 percent, or
from about 2.74 million kids a
year to 4.19 million.
MEDICATION USE IS UP
The use of any mental health
drug rose from about 6 percent
to 9 percent. Among youths
with severe problems, medication use went from 18 percent to
32 percent. Among the rest —
mild or no problems — it went
from 4 percent to 6 percent.
Some people complain, “Oh
my goodness, these poor little
children are on these powerful
drugs,” said Dr. Gabrielle
Carlson, a child and adolescent
psychiatrist at Stony Brook
University School of Medicine
on New York’s Long Island. “But
most of the kids offered these
drugs have big, powerful problems,” and the real issue is finding more effective drugs and
getting more kids the help they
need, she said.
NOT JUST PILLS
The percentage of youths getting therapy rose from 4 percent
to 6 percent. That may reflect
more access to care in general:
Other research shows that medical visits of all kinds rose for
these age groups over that time.
THE ADHD SITUATION
Use of stimulants such as
methylphenidate, sold as Ritalin
and other brands, rose from 4
percent of youths to 6.6 percent. These drugs are often
given for ADHD, which affects
more than 1 in 10 children,
according to the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention.
MANY KIDS GET NO HELP
About 56 percent of youths
with serious troubles were not
in care.
“There’s
a
tremendous
amount of unmet need,” said
Dr. Brady Case, a child psychiatrist at Bradley Hospital in East
Providence, Rhode Island. It’s
possible that one reason serious
impairment rates are falling “is
that treatment is working” for
those who get it, he said.

Special to the Banner
Adam Klibisz, a rising junior at
Cleveland High School, was one
of only 50 students from the
Southeastern United States and
Puerto Rico to be awarded a prestigious
Congress-Bundestag
Youth Exchange Scholarship for
the 2015-16 academic year.
As a CBYX scholar, he will
spend the upcoming school year
in Germany living with a local
host family, taking classes at a
local high school and participating in a three-week language and
cultural immersion camp to gain
a better understanding of
German culture, language and
everyday life.
Klibisz will also have the
opportunity to visit the German
Bundestag [parliament], meet
with German and American government officials and explore the
country through numerous
excursions to nearby cities, historical sites and more.
The Council on International
Educational Exchange each year
awards approximately 50 highly
motivated high school students
with a full academic scholarship
to live and study in Germany
through the Congress-Bundestag
Youth Exchange program, which
was created to strengthen ties
between Germany and the U.S.
through citizen diplomacy.
Each scholarship is awarded
following a highly competitive
process based on academic
records, demonstrated leadership, essays, teacher recommen-
dations and a personal interview.
Since its inception in 1983, the
program — which is jointly funded by the U.S. Congress and the
German Bundestag — has
awarded more than 22,000
scholarships to students from all
over the U.S. who wish to expand
their global perspectives. Many
students who complete the program go on to study at top colleges and universities.
Students who would like more
information about CBYX and the
2016-17 application process can
visit www.ciee.org/cb or call 800448-9944. German language
skills are not required to apply.

an exchange student coming to
Cleveland for the next school
year, visit www.ciee.org/host.

Memorial Day
Memorial Day is a day
away, on Monday, May 25.
Memorial Day is always
thought of as the day vacation season kicks off
— stores have big summer
sales and schools are usually closing for the year.
Memorial Day is a day off
from work, barbecues with
friends, relaxing at home,
going to the lake or river.
What could be more fun
than a day of boating, skiing
or fishing? A lot of people
will have this same idea
— and whether you are an
experienced boater, novice
or beginner, there are rules,
and laws, that must be followed on the water — just
like on the roadway — to
keep people safe!
Bradley County Sheriff’s
Office has Boat Patrol officers on the waterways to
make your boating experience safe and pleasant this
Memorial Day weekend. In
years prior, the primary
problems have been reckless operation and safety
violations. One of the great
things about driving a boat
is that there is no speed
limit … unless you are in a
no-wake zone or your speed
poses reckless operation.
The types of safety violations the Boat Patrol is on
the lookout for are the types
that could mean life or
death: Do you have enough
life jackets? Are they the
right type of life jacket?
Does your boat need a fire
extinguisher? And then
there’s the BUI — boating
under the influence; a sure
way to ruin your weekend.
Here are a few more hints
to help you enjoy your time
on the water: If you were
born after Jan. 1, 1989, you
must have a Boaters
Operators License to legally
drive a boat. Everyone
under the age of 13 must
wear a life jacket at all times
if the vessel is underway.

CHI Memorial Rees
Skillern Cancer
Institute
Q: What is melanoma skin cancer?
A: Melanoma is a cancer that begins in the melanocytes.
Because most of these cells still make melanin, melanoma
tumors are often brown or black. But this is not always the case,
and melanomas can also have no color. Melanoma most often
starts on the trunk of fair-skinned men and on the lower legs of
fair-skinned women, but it can start in other places, too. Having
dark skin lowers the risk of melanoma. But it does not mean that
a person with dark skin will never get melanoma.
Melanoma can almost always be cured in its early stages. But it is
likely to spread to other parts of the body if it is not caught early.
Melanoma is much less common than basal cell and squamous
cell skin cancers, but it is far more serious.
Q: Who gets melanoma skin cancer?
A: Skin cancer is the most common of all cancers. Melanoma
accounts for less than 5% of skin cancer cases. But it causes most
skin cancer deaths. Overall, the lifetime risk of getting melanoma is
about 1 in 50 for whites, 1 in 1,000 for blacks, 1 in 200 for Hispanics.
Q: What are the risk factors of melanoma?
A: The following are risk factors associated with Melanoma:
UV (ultraviolet) light, Moles, Fair Skin, Family history of melanoma,
Past history of melanoma, Weakened immune systems, Age, Gender,
Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP)
Q: What can a woman do to decrease her risk of getting
melanoma cancer?
A: Most skin cancer can be prevented especially by preventative
measures such as:
• Limit UV exposure
• Protect your skin with clothing
• Wear a hat
• Use sunscreen & wear sunglasses
• Stay in the shade
• Protect children
• Avoid other sources of UV light
• Check for abnormal moles and have them removed
• Genetic counseling and testing

Electric car
rebates restart
NASHVILLE (AP) — The
Tennessee
Department
of
Environment and Conservation
is restarting a rebate program
for electric car buyers.
WPLN-FM reports the state
had $682,000 left two years ago
after shutting down the subsidies, which were approved five
years ago under former Gov.
Phil Bredesen. The funds have
remained unspent.
The station reports that
instead of finding another use
for the money, the state agency
decided to begin giving out
rebates again.
Beginning in June, those who
purchase electric cars would be
eligible for a $2,500 rebate while
hybrid car-buyers would be eligible for $1,500.
Program manager Molly
Cripps said there were various
reasons to offer the subsidies
even with the market growth for
electric cars.

Here come the judges as ‘AGT’
returns for its 10th season
NEW YORK (AP) — “They keep
telling people it’s the 10th
anniversary. But it’s the fourth
season, as far as I’m concerned,”
says Howard Stern, who joined
“America’s Got Talent” as a judge
in 2012.
That’s what you’d expect
Howard to say.
But quickly he adds that with
“AGT” launching what everyone
but Stern would consider its
10th season (Tuesday at 8 p.m.
EDT on NBC), he’s having a ball
with fellow judges Howie Mandel,
Heidi Klum and Mel B.
“I may be the most important
judge in the history of the world,
but secretly I’ll tell you, I’m glad
they’re there,” he confides during
a recent interview.
Everyone remembers the
uproar when Stern was brought
aboard this family-friendly talent
competition: Wasn’t he a legendary “shock jock,” a bad-boy
superstar on SiriusXM Radio
who would say anything to get a
reaction?
Maybe, but Stern, now 61,
thought he would make an ideal
judge, that his long show-biz
career (wasn’t he the King of All
Media?) would serve him well in
evaluating each act. More to the
point: He was already a big “AGT”
fan.
“It helps when it isn’t just a
paycheck for a judge, when they
were a fan of the show even
before they were getting paid to
be on it,” says Jason Raff, an
executive producer of “AGT”
since its premiere in June 2006.
“It’s a hard show to judge,” he
says, noting its lack of any rules
— any type of act with any number of performers of any age is
welcome.
Like Stern, Mandel was an
“AGT” devotee before he joined
the judges’ panel in 2010.
“I watched every episode for
the four years before that,”
Mandel says. “Whatever you see
me saying and doing is what I
was doing from the couch in my
living room, in my underpants,
before. Now I have the best seat
in the house.”
And though he has to wear
pants, “the show provides them,”
he says with a laugh.
If the judges are having a good
time, host Nick Cannon is having
a blast.
“I figure I’m the guy who’s having the most fun,” says Cannon,
the “AGT” ringmaster since 2009.
“It’s the best summer job ever,
even though there’s a lot of
responsibility.”

REGIONAL BRIEFS
Scott County officer accused of
shooting youth with BB gun
ONEIDA (AP) — A lieutenant in
the Scott County Sheriff’s Office is
accused of shooting a BB gun at
children playing volleyball at a
church.
WVLT-TV reports three young
people were hit with BBs while
playing outside the Oneida
Church of God on Wednesday
night.
The investigating officer noted
several red welts on their backs,
legs and calves.
Witnesses said the shooter fired
from a porch of a trailer next to
the volleyball field. That was the
home of Lt. Michael Wilson.
The investigating officer said
Wilson appeared to be intoxicated. Wilson told the officer he
didn’t shoot the BB gun, but he
owned one lying on the front
porch.
Wilson is charged with assault
and has been placed on administrative leave. A phone number
listed for Wilson was not working.
Study finds Youth Villages
program helps after foster care
NASHVILLE (AP) — A recent
study found a Tennessee program
helped to make life better for a
group of foster children who aged
out of state care — something
never before documented by
researchers.
The
Tennessean
reports
Memphis-based Youth Villages
offered services to former foster
children that included weekly
counselling on many aspects of
daily life. Those young adults had
higher incomes, more stable
housing, better economic wellbeing and some health improvements.
The study by MDRC compared
the lives of 1,300 young people
from 2010 through 2012. Since
then, the Tennessee Department
of Children’s Services and Youth
Villages has agreed to split a $6
million cost to offer assistance to
all of Tennessee’s aging out foster
youth. That 2013 agreement
made Tennessee the first state to
offer aid universally.
Former Memphis clerk pleads
guilty to embezzling fines
MEMPHIS (AP) — A former
Memphis deputy court clerk has
pleaded guilty to embezzling more
than $24,000 in traffic fines.
The Commercial Appeal reports
Tammy Brooks-Carpenter was
arrested last fall. She was
accused of targeting Hispanic
people who made payments in
cash.
According to the indictment,
Brooks-Carpenter would take
payments and enter them into the
system while the traffic-violator
was present. But then she would
void the payment and enter a
smaller amount. She would pocket the difference, embezzling
$24,011 during a recent 12month period.
Her victims later received
notices that they owed money to
the city, even though they had
paid in full.
She faces up to 10 years in
prison and a fine of as much as
$250,000.
Sentencing is Aug. 21.
Woman pleads guilty to forging
former lawmaker’s will
MEMPHIS (AP) — Prosecutors
say a former Memphis Fire
Department chief has pleaded
guilty to forging what she claimed
was the will of former state Rep.
Ulysses Jones.
The Shelby County district
attorney’s office says Sandra
Evette Richards was sentenced to
eight years’ probation after pleading guilty Wednesday to charges
of forgery over $60,000, tampering with or fabricating evidence,
and aggravated perjury.
She also must pay back nearly
$24,000 for litigation costs
incurred by Jones’ children, who
successfully contested the forged
will. Jones, who also was a battalion chief with the fire department,
died in 2010.
A judge ruled the will submitted by Richards was a forgery.
She had testified she was Jones’
fiancee and that she had helped
him write the will, which left the
bulk of his $100,000 estate to her.
TBI arrests more than dozen in
human trafficking operation
NASHVILLE (AP) — The
Tennessee
Bureau
of
Investigation says it placed fake
ads for prostitutes and arrested
about a dozen people this week as
part of an operation to better
understand human trafficking in
the state.
The eight ads ran for an average of about five hours and got
111 contacts, TBI Special AgentIn-Charge Margie Quin said at a
Friday news conference.
The johns arrested ran the
gamut from a man with a long
criminal record who was carrying
a razor blade on a stick in his
pants to a pastor who was about
to become a father.
Earlier this week, Gov. Bill
Haslam signed a bill giving TBI
jurisdiction over investigations of
human trafficking. The legislature
earlier approved funding for four
special TBI agents who will be
dedicated to investigating trafficking. They also will train local law
enforcement officers to recognize
and combat trafficking.
Quin said trafficking occurs
when anyone under 18 years old
engages in a commercial sex act.
It also occurs when someone over
18 engages in a commercial sex
act through fraud or coercion.
“This will be an uphill battle,
because what we’re really doing in
Tennessee is changing the conversation about human trafficking,” Quinn said. “It’s like domestic violence or drunk driving
decades ago. What was once
never discussed in public is now a
worthwhile cause.”
Tennessee restarting rebates
for electric vehicles
NASHVILLE (AP) — The
Tennessee
Department
of
Environment and Conservation is
restarting a rebate program for
electric car buyers.
WPLN-FM reports the state
had $682,000 left two years ago
after shutting down the subsidies,
which were approved five years
ago under former Gov. Phil
Bredesen. The funds have
remained unspent.
The station reports that instead
of finding another use for the
money, the state agency decided
to begin giving out rebates again.
Beginning in June, those who
purchase electric cars would be
eligible for a $2,500 rebate while
hybrid car-buyers would be eligible for $1,500.
Program manager Molly Cripps
said there were various reasons to
offer the subsidies even with the
market growth for electric cars.
“I mean, air quality is one piece,
certainly,” she said. “It is also to
support not just Nissan, but any
manufacturers of whether it be an
electric vehicle or more sustainable transportation.”
The state originally set aside
$2.5 million for rebates and
issued 727 over a time period of
about two years.
The same terms that applied
then apply now. Car buyers must
live in Tennessee and purchase
the vehicle at a dealership in the
state.
Fire officials probing blaze at
Gwinnett shopping center
PEACHTREE CORNERS, Ga.
(AP) — Authorities are investigating a fire that heavily damaged a
shopping center in Gwinnett
County.
County fire officials say they
had to use three ladder trucks to
begin dousing a large blaze at a
shopping center in Peachtree
Corners Friday night.
Officials said in a statement
that one business in the shopping
center was open at the time of the
fire, and all occupants were evacuated from the building without
any injuries.
Fire officials say the blaze likely
started on the shopping center’s
roof, but the cause of the blaze is
unclear
Ga. officials launching child
vehicle safety campaign
ATLANTA (AP) — Georgia child
welfare officials are launching a
campaign meant to raise awareness of the dangers of leaving
children in unattended vehicles.
The Georgia Department of
Early Care and Learning is
launching the Look Again campaign Wednesday with an event at
the state Capitol.
The gathering at 1:30 p.m. is
expected to feature Gov. Nathan
Deal, first lady Sandra Deal,
Department of Early Care and
Learning Commissioner Amy
Jacobs and others.
Suspected Jacksonville bus
shooter arrested in Georgia
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) —
Authorities say a teenager suspected of shooting two girls on a
school bus in Jacksonville last
week has been arrested in
Georgia.
The Liberty County Sheriff’s
Office reports that the 16-yearold boy was suffering from an
accidental gunshot wound to the
thigh when deputies arrested
him Thursday near Hinesville,
Georgia. The area is about 40
miles southwest of Savannah.
The Jacksonville Sheriff’s
Office reports that the suspect
and two other teenagers got into
an argument last week with two
teens who were on the bus. The
argument was over another person who died previously. As the
bus pulled away, at least three
shots were fired, hitting two 16year-old girls who weren’t
involved in the argument. Their
injuries were not life-threatening.
The Florida Times-Union
reports that the teen suspect
faces two counts of attempted
murder and one count of throwing a deadly missile.
Death of middle Georgia
girl ruled homicide
MACON, Ga. (AP) — Authorities
say the death of a 4-year-old girl
who was found with the cord to a
set of blinds wrapped around her
neck has been ruled a homicide.
News media outlets quote Bibb
County Coroner Leon Jones as
saying Friday that Carlene Jane
Rigby died of asphyxia by strangulation. Rigby was found dead in
her bedroom March 22.
Wacker aWard recipients from Walker Valley High School are Jordan Caylor and Ira Lee. The preBibb County Sheriff’s Lt. Sean
DeFoe was quoted by the senter from Wacker was Free Potter.
Telegraph of Macon as saying no
arrests have been made and the
girl’s death remains under investigation.
Georgia trooper shoots traveler
after speeding stop
TIFTON, Ga. (AP) — A traffic
stop on a south Georgia freeway
Friday morning ended with a
state trooper shooting a passenger after getting into a confrontation with him as the driver was
being taken into custody.
The shooting happened just
after 11 a.m. near Tifton in south
Georgia, Georgia Bureau of
Investigation
spokeswoman
Sherry Lang said.
A trooper stopped the car the
couple were riding in for speeding.
The trooper ran the driver’s name
through a database and learned
that her license was suspended,
said GBI Special Agent In Charge
J.T. Ricketson.
“While he was taking her into
custody and dealing with that, he
ended up in a confrontation with
the male passenger,” Ricketson
said.
The trooper fired a single gunshot that hit the passenger, who
was taken away by ambulance,
according to Lang, who said the
man appeared to have been shot
in his upper body. He was treated
at a hospital for a non-life-threatening injury and taken into custody, Ricketson said.
The man “was taking over operation of the vehicle,” before the
shot was fired, Ricketson said. He
said he could not say whether the
man had gotten out of the car,
and it was unclear whether the
confrontation with the trooper
was a physical one.
Ricketson added that the trooper’s patrol car was equipped with
a dashboard camera and the GBI
has audio of the encounter.
Ricketson said he had not yet
seen the video and could not say
when it or the audio would be
released.
The identities of the man and
driver haven’t been released.
Ricketson said the couple were
headed north when they were
stopped. The car they were riding
in had Tennessee plates.
N.C. woman pleads guilty to DWI
after running over infant
GRAHAM, N.C. (AP) — A 28year-old Burlington woman will
serve at least 17 months in prison
for fatally injuring a 10-month-old
baby by running over her in a
hospital parking lot.
The Times-News of Burlington
reports that Stormie Vancil pleaded guilty to driving while impaired
for hitting Melissa Flynn and her
baby Aubrey outside Alamance
Regional Medical Center in April
2014.
Prosecutors say Flynn was
pushing Aubrey in a stroller when
Vancil’s car ran over the child.
Flynn was critically injured but
has recovered.
A blood test showed Vancil had
several prescription drugs in her
system, including oxycodone.
A judge sentenced her to 14 to
26 months with 415 day’s credit
for time served. Prosecutors say
she’ll remain imprisoned for several more months before being
released for nine months of
supervision.
Plane that crashed in Perry
County came from Georgia
HAZARD, Ky. (AP) — The
Federal Aviation Administration
says the small plane that crashed
in Perry County on Thursday was
coming from Grovetown, Georgia.
The plane’s destination was
Hazard. It crashed into trees near
a rural road outside of Hazard at
about 7 p.m. on Thursday. The
accident site is about two miles
from Hazard’s Wendell Ford
Airport.
The pilot was the only person
on board and died in the crash of
the single engine Grumman AA5
aircraft.
The National Transportation
Safety Board is in charge of the
investigation and will determine
the likely cause. The agency is
expected to release preliminary
findings in about 10 days.

NY judge: Release
testimony by
Rosenberg brother
in 1950s spy case
NEW YORK (AP) — A judge has
ordered the unsealing of key grand
jury testimony from 1950 that may
give new fuel to suspicions that
Ethel Rosenberg was unjustly convicted of espionage and put to
death for conspiring to give nuclear
secrets to the Soviet Union.
In his ruling this week, U.S.
District Judge Alvin Hellerstein
noted that the testimony of
Rosenberg’s
brother,
David
Greenglass, was crucial to the case
and that he claimed in interviews
that prosecutors pressured him
into falsely testifying against his
sister.
The judge said the testimony
could be unsealed now because
Greenglass died last year at 92. The
government could still appeal the
ruling.
“The requested records are critical pieces of an important moment
in our nation’s history,” Hellerstein
wrote. “The time for the public to
guess what they contain should
end.”
In what was called the crime of
the century, Ethel and her husband, Julius, were convicted of
espionage conspiracy and executed
in 1953. The sentencing judge
blamed their treason for the Korean
War and the deaths of at least
50,000 people.
Greenglass was the star government witness at the 1951 trial, testifying that he had given the couple
data obtained through his wartime
job as an Army machinist at the Los
Alamos, New Mexico, headquarters
of the top-secret Manhattan Project
to build the atomic bomb.
He said he saw his older sister
transcribing the information on a
portable typewriter at the
Rosenbergs’ New York apartment in
1945. That testimony proved crucial in convicting Ethel along with
her husband.

can. Romance will ease your stress.
Birthday Baby: You are sensitive,
charming and convincing. You are confident and outgoing.
MONDAY, MAY 25, 2015
CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY:
Aly Raisman, 21; Demetri Martin, 42;
Octavia Spencer, 45; Mike Myers, 52.
Happy Birthday: Before you begin
to make changes, question your
motives. Doing something to avoid a
situation is not the answer. Face any
dispute you have this year head-on so
that you can put it behind you. Honesty
will be required if you want to move forward successfully. Use your intelligence and versatility to make things
happen. Your numbers are 3, 16, 20,
28, 33, 42, 45.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don't
waste time. Take care of any unfinished
business so the coast is clear to start
working on projects that interest you
more. A chance to do something different
is on the horizon. A professional or volunteer position will lead to something worthwhile.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Get
involved, be a participant and do your
best to help others. Offering your time will
lead to experience and knowledge, but
making a cash donation might not be the
most responsible thing to do at this time.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20):
Concentrate on what needs to be done.
Letting your emotions get involved will
lead to hurt feelings and a lack of productivity. Keep your situation in perspective
and do what you can. Don't let anyone
take advantage of you.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Go
where the action is. Make positive
changes in your community. A personal
improvement will lift your spirits and put
you in the spotlight. Show off your attributes and what you have to offer. Love is
on the rise.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Pursue whatever will lead to a new you and a better
future. Get involved in a cause you feel
strongly about and you will end up in a
position that can lead to greater popularity and leadership. Don't give in to emotional manipulation.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Finding a
solution to a problem at work or at home
will reveal who is on your side and who
isn't. Begin questioning motives if you
want to eliminate what stands between
you and victory. Participation will be fruitful.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):
Communication, education and clearing
up any misunderstandings will lead to
positive changes. If someone pushes or
pressures you, walk away. Look out for
your best interests. Don't let a physical or
emotional situation overpower you or
lead you in the wrong direction.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Go over
your plans and look for any improvements you can make to ensure a successful journey. Whether you are taking
a trip, signing up for a learning experience or making personal changes,
preparation will be key in getting the
results you want.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):
Discipline and patience will be necessary
when dealing with friends and relatives.
Listen to what's being said, but don't give
in to an emotional threat. Stand your
ground and carry on doing things you
find more enjoyable.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):
Partnerships will be problematic. Don't
force your will on others. If you take over
or try to control a situation, you will be
accused of meddling. For optimum
results, do the best job possible and let
others do as they please.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Fix up
your surroundings. Doing the work yourself will save you money and give you a
sense of accomplishment. A partnership
will take a positive turn and result in helping you fulfill one of your dreams.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Easy
does it. You will be misinterpreted and
face a backlash of complaints if you
aren't careful. Focus on personal
improvements, not on trying to change
others. Working by yourself will give you
a sense of satisfaction and keep you out
of trouble.
Birthday Baby: You are talkative,
sensitive and impulsive. You are intelligent and strong-minded.

Polk 4-Hers Go
Down on the Farm
What vegetable grows underground?
What meat do you get from
pigs?
Why are bees important?
These are question fourthgraders learned by attending
Polk County's 20th annual Fun
on the Farm Day May 6 at the
Polk County 4-H Showbarn in
Benton. The event was coordinated by the Polk County U.T.
Extension. Fourth graders from
South Polk and Benton

through eight exhibits including
beef animals, soils and gardening demonstrations, a farm tractor and machinery, dairy cows
and butter making, as well as
Farm Snacks, fabric and weaving, and Bees. Fun on the Farm
Day gave students an understanding of farm life and farm
products. The coordinators of
the Farm Day would like to say
thanks to all who helped make
Fun on the Farm Day a big success: Polk County Soil and Water

Circus accused of violating
law in treatment of elephants
ST. LOUIS (AP) — A circus violated an animal welfare law by
allowing three elephants to briefly
get loose in Missouri and watering
them too close to a Pennsylvania
show’s public area where a child
managed to pose for a photo
behind one of them, a federal
agency alleges in a complaint.
The U.S. Department of
Agriculture, in the April 28 complaint, alleges that during a March
2014 fundraiser circus sponsored
by Moolah Shriners in the St.
Louis suburb of St. Charles, Royal
Hanneford Circus encouraged
crowd noise that included audience members stomping on metal
bleachers, spooking three elephants being led from the arena to
their enclosure.
Those animals — Kelly, Viola
and Isa — briefly got loose on the
arena’s lot where vehicles of circus
employees and Shriners were
parked, according to published
reports at the time. The USDA
alleges in the complaint by its
inspection service that one elephant that made its way between
two trailers sustained scrapes and
cuts while another had superficial
lacerations.
Three weeks later in Altoona,
Pennsylvania, the USDA said,
handlers of those elephants
wrongly stopped to water the animals in a publicly accessible area
while leading the animals from the
performance area to their enclosure. An adult photographed a
child standing behind the waterdrinking elephants, violating federal regulations mandating sufficient distance or barriers between
the animals and the public.
The USDA’s complaint, which
alleges both incidents constitute
willful violations of the federal
Animal Welfare Act, names the
Florida-based Royal Hanneford
Circus and the Carson & Barnes
Circus, the Hugo, Oklahoma,
business that leased the elephants to Royal Hanneford.
Messages left with both interests
Friday were not immediately
returned.
The complaint does not mention
the Moolah organization.
The USDA’s website shows that
companies cited in such complaints may seek a hearing by a
federal administrative law judge,
though the possible penalties
weren’t
immediately
clear.
Messages left with a USDA
spokeswoman and the attorney
who filed the complaint, Colleen
Carroll, also weren’t returned.
The complaint comes at a time
of increased scrutiny of elephants in public displays such
as circuses. Last month, San
Francisco supervisors approved
a ban of performances of wild
animals or starring them in
movies, joining dozens of other
places that frown upon using
bears and big cats, elephants
and monkeys for human entertainment.
Concern over the treatment of
elephants has grown so much
that Feld Entertainment, the parent company of Ringling Bros.
and Barnum & Bailey circus,
announced in March it would
phase out elephant acts by 2018.
The People for the Ethical
Treatment of Animals “is asking
families everywhere to stay away
from all circuses that use animals,” Delcianna Winders, the
PETA Foundation’s deputy general
counsel, said in a statement
Thursday reacting to the USDA
complaint.

n Must enroll in at least 15
credit hours each semester
n Must be accepted into the
Honors Program.
“These are some of the brightest students in our area,” stated
Kimberly Wills, financial aid /
scholarship counselor.
“Their recommendations were
great. Many have been through
our dual enrollment program,
and our recruiters speak well of
them. I’m thrilled that they chose
Cleveland State and that we can
continue to challenge them academically with our Honors program and help further develop
their leadership skills.”
There were 14 students selected as Presidential Scholars at
Cleveland State. The students
and the high schools they attended are as follows:
Cleveland High School —
Brittany
Arnold,
June
Goonetilleke and Haven Wright
Walker Valley High School —

Wills stated, “Restructuring
our scholarship program to meet
the needs of Tennessee Promise
and adult learners was a challenging but important project. I
think our scholarship programs
reflect our commitment to make
college accessible to our community. The students selected to
receive the Presidential Honors
Scholarship reflect well on the
schools that prepared them, and
we look forward to their involvement on campus.”
For more information on scholarships at Cleveland State
Community College, visit the
website at www.clevelandstatecc.edu.

Anchor
C l u b ,
Chorus, Show Choir, Science
National Honor Society and a
member of the softball team.
She does volunteer work for
Habitat for Humanity. She plans
to major in pre-physical therapy
at Cleveland State.
“I chose Cleveland State for
many reasons. It is close to
home. I was interested in the
softball program. I absolutely
loved my dual enrollment classes.”
June Goonetilleke graduated
from Cleveland High School
where she was involved in
Interact, Key Club, HOSA, EAA,
Beta Club and Anchor Club.
Haven Wright is a graduate of
Cleveland High School, where

the public
library.
Because of
her interest
in art, she
has decided
to major in
art therapy.
“I really
like
the
idea of staying in Cleveland. I
haven’t lived here my whole life. I
think the area is really nice. I
have a little sister, and I didn’t
want to move far away. She is in
middle school, so she is at that
age where things are changing. It
would be good if I was closer for
a bit.”
Sean Conway, a graduate of
Walker Valley High School, was

major in
engineer ing.
“I can’t wait to learn all I can
about engineering. I’m not sure
about what type of engineering
that I’m going into. I’m stuck
between chemical engineering
and mechanical. There are a lot
of opportunities for chemical
around here, especially with
Wacker opening up here, but I’ve
always been interested in
mechanical. I’ve got a decision to
make!”
Jonah
Jenkins is
a graduate
of Walker
Valley High
School,
where he is
involved in
the Opport u n i t y

through a homeless shelter and
another organization called Feed
My Starving Children, where they
were able to package food for
needy children overseas.
Jenkins is a youth leader at
Candies Creek Baptist Church.
“Obviously the Tennessee
Promise was a huge factor that
led me to Cleveland State, but I
also know people that came here
that really liked it that influenced
me, as well. They told me how
much they benefited from CSCC.
So, it just seemed like the best
step for me to come to CSCC first
before transferring to Belmont
where I plan to major in sound
engineering.”
Jaclyn Griffith was the salutatorian at Walker Valley High
School.
She was
involved in
basketball,
H O S A ,

footsteps by majoring in nursing.
“I like Cleveland State for
many reasons. I really enjoyed
Coach Lumpkin, the basketball
coach. It is extremely close to
home, so it is convenient for me,
and I had taken dual enrollment
classes through CSCC and really
liked them, so it was a good fit for
me. I am really looking forward to
the whole college experience.”

Drenching rains green pastures,
bode well for herd expansion
WICHITA, Kan. (AP) —
Drenching rains that recently
soaked the Great Plains have
brought welcomed moisture to
areas still recovering from
droughts, greening pastures as
ranchers begin the annual rite of
moving cattle to the nation’s summer grazing lands.
Ranchers in Kansas and elsewhere in cattle country are still
trying to rebuild herds that were
decimated in the 2012 and 2013
droughts, when they sold off
much of their livestock because of
shriveled pastures and skyrocketing hay prices. But in the past
month, ranchers have benefited
from inches of rain: Parts of
Oklahoma and Texas averaged
between 400 and 500 percent of
its normal rainfall, and central
Kansas saw 125 percent of what’s
normal, according to MDA
Weather Services agricultural
meteorologist Don Keeney.
“Nationally, range and pasture
conditions are notably improved
from last year and other recent
periods of drought throughout the
U.S.,” Kansas State University
Extension beef specialist Glynn
Tonsor said, adding that it means
beef cow herds will expand as
planned.
That’s good news for consumers, who are seeing record
retail beef prices— averaging
$6.08 a pound for the all-fresh
beef, according to the U.S.
Department of Agriculture, 14
percent higher than it was a year
ago. Current prices are a result of
a double whammy: tighter beef
supplies because of cutbacks in
herds during the drought and
fewer calves going to the slaughterhouse now as ranchers restock
herds.
The expansion is reflected in
the last official count in January
that showed the nation’s cattle
herd was up by 600,000 head
compared to a year ago — which
means more calves are being born
this year.
“We are expanding the herd
very quickly right now,” said Kevin
Good, a market analyst with
industry-tracking
group
CattleFax, “And so we will have
more beef supplies on the market
by 2016.”
His assessment is based on two
important indicators. First, the
number of heifers being slaughtered is down between 7 and 8
percent, reflecting that ranchers
are keeping their young female
calves rather than marketing
them. Secondly, slaughter numbers are down 17 percent, an indication fewer animals are going to
market than during the drought
years.
Those dynamics all come back
to the drought’s lingering effects
that ranchers are now watching
dissipate as lush pasture grasses
replace the stunted stubble of dry
years past. Pastures in the Great
Plains of Kansas and Nebraska
are in better shape than a year
ago, according to the latest data
by National Agricultural Statistics
Service, as are the southern
Plains of Oklahoma and Texas.
Kansas cattleman Ken Grecian
sold off during the recent
droughts about a third of his cattle herd that had once numbered
350. But last year’s summer rains
encouraged him to begin rebuilding, and he added about 55
heifers this year that’d been kept
from his calf crop.

O’Malley to
campaign in
Iowa after
announcement
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) —
Once he announces his presidential decision, Martin O’Malley will
waste no time in getting himself
to Iowa.
O’Malley will campaign in the
leadoff caucus state on May 30,
the same day he makes an
announcement in Baltimore
about whether he will seek the
Democratic presidential nomination. A Democrat with knowledge
of O’Malley’s travel plans, who
spoke on condition of anonymity
so as not to pre-empt the formal
announcement, said O’Malley
would appear in Davenport in the
afternoon and Des Moines at
night.
If he runs for
the nomination, as his
travel
plans
strongly suggest he will,
O’Malley will
join
former
Secretary
of
State Hillary
R o d h a m
O’Malley
Clinton
and
Vermont Sen.
Bernie Sanders as the major candidates in the race for the
Democratic nomination.
The former Maryland governor
has made several visits to the
early caucus state this year, has
two paid staffers on the ground
and plans to add more. He also
invested heavily in Iowa last year,
making four trips to the state and
putting 14 staffers to work on
state campaigns.
During a visit earlier this year,
O’Malley said Iowa Democrats
needed to get to know him. He
said that at a certain point, “the
race quickly narrows between the
once inevitable front-runner and
the new and unknown candidate
who emerges to offer a more compelling alternative.”
Walker pledges
pre-emptive
preventive strikes
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) —
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker is
doubling down on his promises of
pre-emptive strikes to prevent
what he says are certain future
attacks on American soil.
As he prepares for a likely 2016 presidential
run,
Walker told a
multistate
Republican
gathering in
Oklahoma on
Thursday that
he’s convinced
“radical Islamic
Walker
terrorists” are
planning to attack the U.S.
Walker offered no evidence for
his claims at the Southern
Republican
Leadership
Conference. He also didn’t say
who most threatens the United
States or what military actions
he’d authorize in response.
As a governor, Walker has no
access to intelligence briefings
like those available to President
Barack Obama and certain congressional leaders.
Still, Walker said, “It’s not if
another attempt is made on
American soil, it is when.” He
said he’d “take the fight to them
before they take the fight to us”
and that struggle would be protracted.
The sentiments aren’t new for
Walker but he is speaking in
more hawkish terms after his
recent visit to Israel, as he tries to
stand out among several governors and former governors running for the Republican nomination without tangible foreign policy experience.
Walker said his private conversations with Israelis, from Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
and military leaders to soldiers
and civilians, revealed that all
feel perpetually threatened. He
avoided the news media in Israel.
“They feel every day like we felt
after 9/11,” he said, “and they
feel like they don’t have an ally in
the United States, at least not in
the president of the United
States.”
Walker’s pre-emption talk
comes as Republican candidates
grapple with the question of
whether President George W.
Bush was right to invade Iraq in
2003, absent proof that Saddam
Hussein had weapons of mass
destruction — a leading rationale
for the war. Walker has not said
explicitly that Bush was wrong,
but he joined other White House
hopefuls who said they would not
have authorized the war knowing
what is now known.

Bush and Christie rise
in defense of Patriot Act
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) —
Likely Republican presidential
contenders Jeb Bush and Chris
Christie on Friday heartily
endorsed the Patriot Act and the
permission it gives the government to collect phone records in
bulk, mocking those who deride
the intelligence overhaul passed
after the Sept. 11 attacks as an
encroachment on civil liberties.
“There is ample evidence that
the Patriot Act has been a tool to
keep us safe, ample evidence,”
Bush said at the Southern
Republican
Leadership
Conference. “There is no evidence of anyone’s civil liberties
being violated because of it.”
Christie, who served as a U.S.
attorney before being elected
New Jersey governor, told the
same crowd that the Patriot Act
helped him as a prosecutor to
win convictions of defendants
tied to the 2001 attacks. “I’m the
only person in this national conversation at the moment who
has used the Patriot Act, signed
off on it and convicted terrorists
because of it,” he said.
The forceful defense of the law
came as Congress struggled to
meet a deadline to renew or
replace a portion of the law
known as Section 215, which
allows the National Security
Agency to collect phone records
in bulk and the FBI to obtain a
wide range of records that agents
deem relevant to terrorism investigations.
Earlier this week, Christie said
law-abiding citizens had nothing
to fear from such surveillance
efforts, while at multiple cam-
paign stops, Bush said the law,
signed by his brother, former
President George W. Bush, is
necessary to “protect the homeland,” adding that an extension
of Section 215 “is definitely part
of a comprehensive strategy for
foreign policy.”
“I do know, because I’ve
checked with a lot of people
inside and outside of government, that there’s no evidence,
not a shred of evidence, of violations of civil liberties because of
the Patriot Act,” Bush told
reporters in Salem, New
Hampshire, on Thursday.
In oversight reports issued
since at least 2003, the Justice
Department inspector general
has identified dozens of incidents it blamed on the FBI in
which demands issued under a
separate section of the Patriot
Act were unauthorized or
improper.
In some cases, the FBI
obtained records for phone numbers no longer used by targets of
its investigations or permission
to conduct the investigations
had already lapsed. Some of the
FBI violations were deemed “willful and intentional,” according to
internal FBI records.
An analysis issued Thursday by
the Justice Department’s inspector general found that FBI agents
testified that the law contains
valuable investigative tools, but
noted agents “did not identify any
major case developments” that
came from using Section 215.
The Privacy and Civil Liberties
Oversight Board, an independent
bipartisan agency, declared
NSA’s phone records collections
program illegal in 2014, and a
federal court of appeals reached
the same conclusion earlier this
month.
“It’s not an accurate statement
to say the Section 215 programs
haven’t violated rights,” said
Neema Singh Guliani of the
American Civil Liberties Union,
which challenged the NSA phone
records sweeps in court. “They’ve
had an enormous effect on privacy ... in a way that weakened our
protections against government
gaining information about innocent people.”
Among Republican senators
opposed to allowing the NSA to
continue to gather phone records
in bulk are two other GOP White
House hopefuls, Sens. Rand
Paul and Ted Cruz. They argue
the act makes it too easy for
intelligence agencies and law
enforcement to violate citizens’
constitutional rights with no
consequences.
Paul spent 10 hours making
that case Wednesday on the
Senate floor, where he blasted
the law as “the most unpatriotic
of acts” and criticized those calling for its renewal. While
Christie and Bush didn’t cite
Paul or Cruz by name, their comments Friday about the law were
aimed their way.
“These same folks who are
criticizing this now will be the
same people who will stand on
Capitol Hill if there’s another
attack on America and interrogate a CIA director or the FBI
and ask them why they didn’t
connect the dots,” Christie said.
Archives show Hillary Clinton
OK’d tax breaks for nonprofits
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — In
the Clinton administration’s final
months, then-First Lady Hillary
Rodham Clinton took an active
role in White House efforts to give
tax breaks to private foundations
and wealthy charity donors at the
same time that the William J.
Clinton Foundation was soliciting
donations for her husband’s presidential library, Clinton-era documents show.
Memos archived in the Clinton
Library show that Hillary Clinton
endorsed the administration’s legislative push for the tax reductions and unveiled the proposals
to influential nonprofit representatives during a conference call in
January 2000, three months after
she and President Bill Clinton
hosted charity leaders for a conference on philanthropy at the
White House.
The blurred lines between the
tax reductions proposed by the
Clinton administration in 2000
and the Clinton Library’s
fundraising were an early foreshadowing of the potential ethics
concerns that have flared around
the Clintons’ courting of corporate
and foreign donors for their family
charity as she launched her campaign for the 2016 Democratic
presidential nomination.
White House documents
reviewed by The Associated Press
show Hillary and Bill Clinton kept
close tabs on the development of
proposed tax breaks to reduce
and simplify an excise tax on private foundations’ investments and
allow more deductions for charitable donations of appreciated property to wealthy donors. An interagency task force set up by Bill
Clinton designed those tax breaks
along with a provision to offer
deductions to middle-class taxpayers who did not itemize their
returns. Federal officials estimated the full plan would cost the
U.S. government $14 billion in
lost tax payments over a decade.
In a January 2000 memo to
Hillary Clinton from senior aides,
plans for a “philanthropy tax initiative roll-out” showed her
scrawled approval, “HRC” and
“OK.” The document, marked with
the archive stamp “HRC handwriting,” indicated her endorsement of
the tax package. The Clinton
White House included the proposed tax breaks in its final budget in February 2000, but they did
not survive the Republican-led
Congress.
“Without your leadership, none
of these proposals would have
been included in the tax package,”
three aides wrote to Hillary
Clinton in the memo, days before
she led a private conference call
outlining the plan to private foundation and nonprofit leaders.
Federal law does not prevent
fundraising by a presidential
library during a president’s term.
But in directly pushing the legislation while the Clinton Library was
aggressively seeking donations,
Hillary and Bill Clinton’s altruistic
support for philanthropy overlapped with their interests in promoting their White House years
and in knitting ties with philanthropic leaders. Hundreds of
pages of documents contain no
evidence that anyone in the
Clinton administration warned
anyone about potential ethics
concerns or sought to minimize
the White House’s active role in
the legislation.
“The theme here for the
Clintons is a characteristic ambiguity of doing good and at the
same time doing well by themselves,” said Lawrence Jacobs,
director of the Center for the
Study of Politics and Governance
at the Hubert H. Humphrey
School at the University of
Minnesota. Jacobs said the
Clinton administration could have
relied on a federal commission to
decide tax plans or publicly supported changes but not specific
legislation.
Spokesmen for Hillary Clinton’s
campaign and the Clinton
Foundation declined to comment,
deferring to the former president’s
office.
A spokesman for Bill Clinton’s
office said his administration was
not trying to incentivize giving to
the foundation, but instead was
spurred by a 1997 presidential
humanities committee that urged
tax breaks for charities to aid
American cultural institutions.
Bruce Reed, Bill Clinton’s chief
domestic policy adviser at the
time, also responded Thursday
that the former president “wanted
to give a break to working people
for putting a few more dollars in
the plate at the church. Not for
any other far-fetched reason.”
The tax changes would have
indirectly helped the Clinton
Foundation — as well as many
other U.S. charities — by freeing
nonprofits’ investments and donations that otherwise would have
gone into tax payments. A reduction of the excise tax would have
boosted the assets of private foundations. Higher deductions for
appreciated investments and
property would have also aided
the Clinton Foundation, which
accepts non-cash gifts. In 2010,
for example, the charity declared
more than $5 million in donated
securities on its federal tax
returns.
Months before proposing the
tax breaks, Clinton White House
officials began courting leaders
from some of the nation’s most
influential charities in advance of
a planned White House conference to celebrate American philanthropy at the turn of the millennium.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Former
Secretary of State Hillary
Rodham Clinton received information on her private email
account about the deadly attack
on U.S. diplomatic facilities in
Benghazi that was later classified
“secret” at the request of the FBI,
according to documents released
Friday, underscoring lingering
questions about how responsibly
she handled sensitive information on a home server.
The nearly 900 pages of her
correspondence released by the
State Department also contained
several messages that were
deemed sensitive but unclassified, detailed her daily schedule
and contained information —
censored in the documents as
released — about the CIA that
the government is barred from
publicly disclosing.
Taken together, the correspondence provides examples of material considered to be sensitive
that Clinton, the front-runner for
the 2016 Democratic presidential
nomination, received on the
account run out of her home. She
has said the private server had
“numerous safeguards.”
Clinton’s decision while secretary of state to opt out of a State
Department email account has
become a political problem for
her, as the Republican-led House
committee investigating the
Benghazi attacks has used the
disclosures of her email usage to
paint her as secretive and above
standard scrutiny.
Clinton, campaigning in New
Hampshire, said Friday she was
aware that the FBI now wanted
some of the email to be classified,
“but that doesn’t change the fact
all of the information in the
emails was handled appropriately.”
Asked if she was concerned it
was on a private server, she
replied, “No.”
State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf said, “It was
not classified at the time. The
occurrence
of
subsequent
upgrade does not mean anyone
did anything wrong.”
It’s not clear if Clinton’s
“homebrew” computer system
used encryption software to communicate securely with government email services. That would
have protected her communications from the prying eyes of foreign spies, hackers, or anyone
interested on the Internet.
Last year, Clinton gave the
State Department 55,000 pages
of emails that she said pertained
to her work as secretary sent
from her personal address. Only
messages related to the 2012
attacks on the U.S. diplomatic
post in Benghazi, Libya, that
killed four Americans, including
U.S. Ambassador Christopher
Stevens, were released by the
department on Friday. The 296
emails had already been turned
over to the House Benghazi committee.
A Nov. 18, 2012, message
about arrests in Libya was not
classified at the time, meaning no
laws were violated, but was
upgraded from “unclassified” to
“secret” on Friday at the request
of the FBI to redact information
that could contain information
damaging to national security or
foreign relations.
Twenty-three words were
redacted from the message,
which detailed reports of arrests
in Libya of people who might
have connections to the attack,
Harf said.
The redacted portion appears
to relate to people who provided
information about the alleged
suspects to the Libyans. That
part of the email had been categorized by the State Department
as “NOFORN,” meaning that foreign nationals weren’t allowed to
read it, including close U.S.
allies.
The message, originally from
Bill Roebuck, then director of the
AP Photo
DemocrAtic presidential
candidate Hillary Rodham
Clinton speaks to child care
workers during a visit to the
Center For New Horizons
Wednesday in Chicago.
Office of Maghreb Affairs, was
forwarded to Clinton by her
deputy chief of staff, Jake
Sullivan, with the comment: “fyi.”
No other redactions were made
to the collection of Benghazirelated emails for classification
reasons, officials said. They
added
that
the
Justice
Department had not raised classification concerns about the
now-redacted 1 1/2 lines in the
Nov. 18 email when the documents were turned over to the
Benghazi committee. The committee retains an unredacted
copy of the email, the officials
said.
Committee chairman Trey
Gowdy, R-S.C., said that the
released emails were incomplete,
adding that it “strains credibility”
to view them as a thorough
record of Clinton’s tenure.
Clinton also appeared to send
and receive protected information about the CIA, which was
withheld on Friday because the
State Department said federal
law prevented its disclosure. The
department did not offer a
detailed description of what it
was withholding, such as a name
or other sensitive information.
A number of the messages
were marked with codes indicating that the information had
been censored for reasons related
to the U.S. intelligence community, law enforcement or personal
privacy — a process that happened after they’d already been
circulated through Clinton’s
home server.
Much of the correspondence
concerned the mundane matters
of high-level government service,
press clippings, speech drafts,
and coordination of calls with
other top officials as well as chitchat about shopping between
Clinton and top aide Huma
Abedin.
“What a wonderful, strong and
moving statement by your boss,”
Christian Brose, a top adviser to
Sen. John McCain, writes in an
email to Sullivan, forwarded to
Clinton just after Stevens’ death.
“Please tell her how much Sen.
McCain appreciated it. Me too.”
There are repeated warnings
of the unrest in Libya, though
Clinton has said she was never
personally involved in questions
of security in Benghazi before
the attack. One message
describes a one-day trip by
Stevens in March 2011 to “get a
sense of the situation on the
ground” and prepare for a 30day stay in the future. A request
for Defense Department support
was made, the email adds, but
no approval had yet been
received. Stevens was killed in
Benghazi on Sept. 11, 2012.
As early as April 2011, Clinton
was forwarded a message sent to
her staff that the situation in the
country had worsened to the
point “where Stevens is considering departure from Benghazi,”

Cleveland Daily Banner—Sunday, May 24, 2015—47
Vermont town’s famous floating
bridge reopens with fanfare
DENVER (AP) — They’re ubiquitous in Asia, swarming the
bustling streets of Bangkok, New
Delhi and Beijing.
Now, a company that manufactures tuk-tuks — the threewheeled motorized rickshaws
that have moved the masses for
more than a century and go by
many other names in Asia, Africa
and Latin America — aims to
make inroads in the United
States.
The Tuk Tuk Factory, based in
Amsterdam, has signed a licensing agreement with Denverbased eTuk USA to allow the
company to manufacture and
sell an electric version of the
vehicle.
The company’s founders hope
the eco-friendly vehicles, a far
cry from the loud, pollutionspewing versions common in
Asia and South America, will
become the next hip mode of
transportation
for
urban
dwellers and tourists across the
country.
It’s too soon to know if
Americans will embrace tuktuks, but Michael Fox, director
of sales and marketing for eTuk
USA, says the company has been
selling the vehicles to individuals, marketing companies and
food vendors for $16,950 to
$25,000, depending on how they
are customized.
The three partners’ other company, eTuk Denver, launched a
call-and-demand shuttle service
in downtown Denver after receiving approval from the Colorado
Public Utilities Commission,
which regulates for-hire transportation services.
The service is the latest to
enter an increasingly crowded
field of transportation options
that includes pedicabs, ride-hailing services such as Uber and
Lyft, and golf-cart taxis.
Fox is banking on the tuktuk’s open-air design to help it
stand out.
“When you look at a golf cart
and you look at a tuk-tuk, which
has more curb appeal?” he
asked.
But like ride-hailing services,
the tuk-tuk has faced some
pushback from a handful of cab
companies and other shuttle
operators and raised concerns
about the vehicles’ safety.
Terry Bote, a commission
spokesman, said several cab and
shuttle companies were successful in restricting where the tuktuks can operate, what types,
how many vehicles can be used
and how many passengers each
can carry.
The tuk-tuks operate mostly
in a restricted downtown area
and are banned from providing
scheduled service to the nearby
Denver Broncos football stadium, a lucrative destination for
the competition.
But even with the restrictions,
Fox said his service can complement Denver’s bus and light rail
systems.
He noted the “last-mile concept,” a term that has been used
by urban planners to describe
the difficulty of getting people
from places like a railway station
or a bus depot to their final destination.
The concept originally applied
to suburban areas, but also is
relevant when studying how people complete their trips in downtown areas, said Carolyn
McAndrews, an assistant professor of design and planning at the
University of Colorado Denver.
“Everybody has the last-mile
problem, and they solve that
problem by walking or we drive
our cars,” she said.
But McAndrews also said the
market is ripe for new modes of
transportation like tuk-tuks to
close that gap.
She points to a 2012 study in
New Jersey that says “last-mile”
shuttles are playing an increasingly important role in connect-
ing people and jobs to rail transit, especially because of the
decentralization of jobs and
homes in most cities over the
past few decades.
“To be competitive with cars,
you have to make the point-topoint as convenient as possible,”
she said.
And it seems like Colorado’s
Legislature agrees.
Because tuk-tuks are classified as motorcycles by the U.S.
Department of Transportation,
drivers would have had to wear
eye protection and get a motorcycle endorsement for the
license. Anyone under 18 also
would have had to wear a helmet.
But state Rep. Paul Rosenthal
said such requirements for vehicles that travel short distances
at low speeds don’t make sense,
especially for a shuttle service.
“Say you have four kids. They
would have to go find a helmet or
have them on hand to do that,”
he said. “It becomes cumbersome.”
On May 4, the Legislature
passed Rosenthal’s bill to strip
those requirements for 3-wheeled
motorcycles with a windshield,
seatbelts and a top speed of 25
mph. Each shuttle model also
has undergone a standard commercial vehicle inspection to
make sure it complies with federal safety standards.
Still, most states heavily regulate three-wheeled vehicles
because of what some say is the
potential for serious accidents.
Sherry Williams, who chairs a
committee
of
independent
researchers on motorcycle safety,
said helmets should be required
and passengers need to be aware
of the possible danger in the
event of an accident, even at slow
speeds.
“Most motorcycle accidents
occur under 30 mph, and many
of them are fatal. This is a serious issue,” she said.
Mississippi hospital whistleblower
gets $3.5 million in settlement
JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — A former employee of a Mississippi
hospital is getting almost $3.5
million as part of a string of settlements where 18 hospitals in seven
states have agreed to pay $20.4
million over allegations they broke
federal law by receiving Medicare
reimbursements for psychiatric
services that were not “medically
reasonable or necessary.”
Ryan Ladner worked for
Allegiance Health Management at
what’s now Merit Health Wesley in
Hattiesburg when his lawyer says
Ladner saw illegal billing.
As the person who brought the
fraud to the attention of the federal government, Ladner is getting
17 percent of the settlement
amounts. None of the hospitals
admit liability in their settlements.
However, LifePoint Hospitals selfreported the practices to the U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services in 2011.
Settlement documents indicate
Ladner has been pursuing a
whistleblower lawsuit in federal
court in Arkansas since 2010
against Allegiance, which is based
in Shreveport, La. The case
remains under seal, though.
Whistleblower actions under the
False Claims Act are filed under
seal with the private plaintiff seeking to recover money on behalf of
the federal government.
The plaintiff, called a relator,
sends the lawsuit and a statement
to federal authorities, who must
decide whether to intervene or
not. Cases can remain sealed for
years while the government investigates, if a judge agrees. It’s
unclear if the government intends
to intervene against Allegiance.
Lawyers for Ladner and Allegiance
declined to confirm that the suit
exists.
Allegiance denies wrongdoing
and still operates outpatient therapy programs at 17 locations in
five states, according to its website.
“Allegiance remains confident
that the outpatient psychiatric
services provided in the IOPs
managed or operated by
Allegiance were medically necessary and appropriate as has been
confirmed by various government
contractors and agencies on multiple occasions through audits,
surveys and other inquiries,” the
company’s lawyer, Michael
Schulze, wrote in a statement.
Cliff Johnson, Ladner’s lawyer,
said Ladner was hired by
Allegiance to serve as program
director for its Inspirations outpatient psychotherapy service at
what was then called Wesley
Medical Center in Hattiesburg.
Ladner got the job even though
his previous background was in
mortgage lending, Johnson said.
“My client is a smart man who
takes seriously the responsibilities he’s given,” Johnson said. “As
responsible people do, he
attempted to educate himself
about the legal requirements for
billing services provided at
Inspirations and the type of
patients who qualify for such
services.”
The settlements indicate
Allegiance would perform the
therapy, the hospitals would bill
for it, and Allegiance would get
either a share of what they collected or a flat fee. The federal
government contends the therapy
wasn’t eligible for federal reimbursement for one of several reasons — the patient’s condition
didn’t qualify, the treatments
weren’t provided according to an
individual treatment plan, patient
progress wasn’t adequately
tracked, or the therapy was “primarily recreational or diversional
in nature, and was not therapeutic.

A worker checks the roof on an electric Tuk-Tuk being prepared for export at the Denver eTuk
factory in northeast Denver. The Tuk Tuk Factory, based in Amsterdam, has signed a licensing agreement with Denver-based eTuk USA to allow the company to manufacture and sell an electric version of
the vehicle. The company’s founders hope the eco-friendly vehicles, a far cry from the loud, pollutionspewing versions common in Asia and South America, will become the next hip mode of transportation
for urban dwellers and tourists across the country.
BROOKFIELD, Vt. (AP) — A tiny
Vermont town’s famous wooden
floating bridge — believed to be the
only one of its kind in the country
— has been rebuilt and is reopening this weekend with fanfare
including a parade with a bagpiper,
high school marching band, oxen
team, horses, and antique cars
crossing the new span Saturday.
Just not all at once.
The Brookfield bridge on Route
65 — a state highway that is
unpaved through the village — has
been closed for seven years after its
floatation system started to fail,
causing it to be partially submerged.
Residents are excited about having the one-lane bridge across
Sunset Lake opened again to vehicles and pedestrians as summer
approaches in the community of
1,200, where historic homes dot
the landscape along the picturesque water. The bridge has now
been replaced seven times and the
parade will be staggered to avoid,
for the time being at least, an
eighth.
“We’re just thrilled to see it
open,” said Jane Doerfer, owner of
the Green Trails Inn, across the
street from the bridge, which often
gets business from tourists who
come to see the bridge and then
decide to stay overnight.
She lost a lot business when the
bridge closed but said she would
rather focus on the good news that
the new bridge is complete. “Let’s
just concentrate on we now have a
bridge where we can hear the children laughing as they jump off the
bridge and things like that.”
The first floating bridge was built
in 1820, by townspeople who
strapped together logs on the top of
the frozen lake, after a man
drowned walking across the ice,
said Perry Kacik, chairman of the
Brookfield
Floating
Bridge
Celebration Committee. When the
ice melted, a crude floating bridge
was left behind.
As the bridge was rebuilt over the
last nearly two centuries, technology improved. In the last bridge
water started to leak into the barrels beneath the decking and
waterlog the foam inside them
causing the bridge to sink slightly
to the point where there was often a
puddle of water in the middle of it,
Kacik said. If vehicles were traveling too fast they risked splashing
pedestrians walking across the
318-foot-long bridge on its elevated
sidewalks.
The new bridge is made of pontoons and is completely above
water. The $2.4 million project was
covered by 80 percent federal funds
and 20 percent state funding.
There are two other floating
bridges in Washington state,
thought they are much larger and
not wooden, according to Jennifer
Fitch, a structures project manager
with the Vermont Transportation
Agency. The new Brookfield bridge
is designed to last 100 years and
has widened sidewalks.
“We made sure that this new
bridge provides access to everybody,” Fitch said.
The celebration will also include
food vendors, music, speeches by
the governor and U.S. Rep. Peter
Welch as well as a dance in the
evening. On Sunday, The Flowting
Bridge Band will perform and area
farms will be open for tours.
The bridge is “very important” to
the community, said Orange
County sheriff Bill Bohnyak, a
member of the celebration committee.
“Number one: It is a state highway so people use it on a regular
basis. And many, many people in
our community and the surrounding central Vermont come here to
fish, swim and in the winter time

TLC pulls Duggar family series
amid reports of misconduct
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — TLC
pulled the reality series “19 Kids
and Counting” from its schedule
on Friday, a move that follows
reports of sexual misconduct allegations against one of the stars,
Josh Duggar, stemming from when
he was a juvenile.
In a statement, the channel said
it was “deeply saddened and troubled by this heartbreaking situation, and our thoughts and prayers
are with the family and victims at
this difficult time.” The statement
didn’t elaborate.
Also Friday, Arkansas police
said they had destroyed a record
outlining a nearly decade-old
investigation into Duggar, a day
after the 27-year-old resigned his
role with a prominent conservative
Christian group amid reports
about the allegations.
The
Northwest
Arkansas
Democrat-Gazette, which obtained
the offense report before its
destruction, reports Duggar was
accused of fondling five girls in
2002 and 2003. Duggar issued an
apology Thursday on Facebook for
unspecified bad behavior as a
youth and resigned his role as
executive director for FRC Action,
the tax-exempt legislative action
arm of the Washington-based
Family Research Council.
“I would do anything to go back
to those teen years and take different actions,” Duggar wrote. “In
my life today, I am so very thankful for God’s grace, mercy and
redemption.”
No charges were filed against
Duggar, and the report says investigators concluded the statute of
limitations had passed, according
to the newspaper.
Duggar appears on the TLC reality show “19 Kids and Counting,”
which stars his family. He is the
oldest of Jim Bob and Michelle
Duggar’s 19 children.

TLC didn’t address whether its
popular show would return.
Springdale Police began investigating Duggar in 2006 when officers were alerted to a letter containing the allegations that was
found in a book lent by a family
friend to someone else.
The report, originally published
by tabloid In Touch Weekly, states
that a member of Harpo Studios,
the producer of Oprah Winfrey’s
then show, received an email containing the allegations before the
family was set to appear in 2006.
The tipster warned producers
against allowing the Duggars on
the show and studio staff members
faxed a copy of the email to
Arkansas State Police.
Springdale Police spokesman
Scott Lewis said Judge Stacey
Zimmerman ordered the 2006
offense report destroyed Thursday.
“The judge ordered us yesterday
to expunge that record,” Lewis
said, adding that similar records
are typically kept indefinitely. “As
far as the Springdale Police
Department is concerned this
report doesn’t exist.”
Neither Duggar nor his father, a
former state representative,
returned calls seeking comment.
Several Arkansas Republicans
have rallied behind the Duggar
family, which is still engaged in
state politics. Jim Bob and
Michelle Duggar attended the kickoff event earlier this month for
Republican presidential candidate
Mike Huckabee, who supported
the family in a Facebook post on
Friday.
“Those who have enjoyed revealing this long ago sins in order to
discredit the Duggar family have
actually revealed their own insensitive bloodthirst, for there was no
consideration of the fact that the
victims wanted this to be left in the
past and ultimately a judge had
the information on file destroyednot to protect Josh, but the innocent victims,” Huckabee wrote.

RIVER COUNTIES
ASSOCIATION
of REALTORS®
“REALTORS® Serving People”
Serving Bradley, Bledsoe, McMinn, Meigs, Polk & Rhea Counties
Our Mission Statement:
“Enhancing, promoting, and protecting the private property rights in our
communities, and the business interests of our REALTOR® members.”
Finding and choosing the right Realtor, financing and home
If you are thinking about purchasing a new home, there are
some steps that will help make
your selection process easier,
according to The River Counties
Association of Realtors.
These steps include:
Tips for selecting
a Realtor®
Your real estate professional
should be:
n Knowledgeable about the
communities of interest to you.
n Aware of the complicated
local and state requirements
affecting your transaction.
n Effective in multi-party, faceto-face negotiations.
n Highly-trained, with access to
programs for continued learning
and additional certifications.
n Technology-focused.
n Supported by professional
legal counsel.
Financing
Most real estate professionals
and mortgage lenders recommend
pre-qualifying for a loan before
selecting a home to purchase.
This process will help you:
n Determine the price range
you can afford.
n Understand the types of loans
for which you qualify.
n Determine what your monthly payment will be.
n Estimate the down payment
and closing costs.
The Loan Process
Your sales associate will help
you to select a mortgage lender.
Once you have made your decision, these are the steps of the
process:
n Application — All pertinent
documentation is obtained. Fees
and down payments are discussed, and the borrower will
receive a Good Faith Estimate
(GFE) and a Truth-in-lending
statement (TIL), itemizing the
rates and associated costs for the
loan.
You will be asked to provide
certain documents to your lender
in order that your loan can be
processed in a timely manner.
n Loan Submission — Once all
the necessary documentation is
in, your completed file is submitted to a lender for approval.
n Loan Approval (Underwriting)
— Loan approval, or underwriting, generally takes 24 to 72
hours. All parties are notified of
the approval and any loan conditions that must be received before
the loan can close.
n Closing — Once all parties
have signed the loan documents,
they are returned to the lender. If
all the forms have been properly
executed, the lender sends the
loan funds by wire transfer. At
this point, the borrower finishes
the loan process and actually
buys the house.
Finding and choosing
the right home
Based on criteria that you and
your sales associate establish
together, your associate will help
you find the perfect home.
There are many factors to consider in selecting a property,
including location, bedroom and
bath count, schools and amenities.
Your sales associate will apply
their extensive community knowledge and professional resources
to research available properties,
and show you the homes that best
meet your needs.
If you find a property that interests you through the Internet or
your own research, let your sales
associate know so that a showing
can be arranged.
As you view different properties, your criteria may change.
Open and direct communication
with your sales associate is a key
element of a successful property
search.
Making an offer
Once you have found the
home that you wish to purchase,
your sales associate will apply
their professional training and
do all the necessary research to
help you structure an effective
offer.
This is where your sales associate's negotiation skills come into
play.
When an offer is made, the seller will have the option of accepting, rejecting or counter-offering.
Your sales associate will negotiate
the best possible terms for you.
Your sales associate will draft
the purchase agreement, advising
you of protective contingencies,
customary practices, and local
regulations.
Home warranty, title and
escrow arrangements will be
detailed in the offer. Although
your sales associate will give you
advice and information, it is your
decision as to the exact price and
terms that you wish to offer.
Managing the Escrow
When the purchase agreement
is accepted and signed by all parties, your sales associate will open
escrow for you and your earnest
money will be deposited. The
escrow is a neutral third party
that will receive, hold, and distribute all funds associated with your
transaction.
Removing contingencies
Prior to closing escrow, all of
the contingencies of the Purchase
Agreement must be met. Your
sales associate will coordinate this
process.
Typical contingencies include:
n Approval of the Seller’s
Property Disclosure Statement.
n Approval of the preliminary
title report.
n Loan approval, including an
appraisal of the property.
n Physical inspections of the
property.
n Pest inspection and certification.
n Acquisition of homeowner's
insurance.
