Still driving and messing around in the yard at 103
n her 103rd
Birthday, despite
being in the hospital recovering
from a fall, Edna
Harvey doesn’t
feel any different than usual.
In fact she says, “I just feel
like I am.”
However, being born on Oct.
23, 1911, advanced age isn’t
lost on her. Speaking from
her hospital bed in the Martin
County Hospital her recovery
from what she describes as
“a missed step” is taking too
long for her liking.
“I told them that you cannot make an old person into a
young person,” she quipped.
“We just don’t heal up like a
young person.”
But she relates that she
enjoyed her birthday nonetheless. “It’s been a nice
birthday. Several of the helpers came in and wished me
a happy birthday,” she said.
“Some of the men came in
and sang me a song, “Happy
Birthday,” and they had pretty good voices.”
Originally born south of
Baird in Callahan County,
she and her family moved to
Big Spring in 1945 following
a hail storm that destroyed
their crops in Littlefield,
Texas.
“We just left,” she said of
their decision pull up roots
and travel south. “We just
tried to find a place to land,”
she said. So they landed in
Big Spring and opened up
Hartly Cleaners where Edna
did alterations.
She also worked at Gregg
Street Cleaners for 27 years.
Having a tailor shop lended
itself to a lot of interesting
O
traffic.
The most interesting to
Edna were some of the locals
stationed at Webb Air Force
Base. “Some of the Chinese
boys came in and talked to
me and showed me what to
do,” she said. “I believe they
were stationed at Webb.”
While she does remember
riding in a covered wagon in
her youth and her first driving lessons in a Model T,
some memories she said are a
little blurry.
The effects of The Great
Depression however, are still
vivid, especially the rationing of food stuffs. “I don’t
remember a whole lot,” she
said, relating her experiences during that time. “But I do
remember the sugar rationing and such.” Not having
enough sugar was the one
commodity she missed the
most. “We would have to
“I told them
that you
cannot make
an old person
into a young
person,” she
quipped. “We
just don’t
heal up like
a young
person.”
- Edna Harvey
mess around and find sugar,”
she explained.
Besides quilting and sewing, Edna’s hobbies include
working in the yard, much
to her son Leonard’s chagrin. “I had to take her lawn
mower away two years ago,”
he explained. “She was still
mowing her yard.”
And when her drivers
license expired in 2013, Leonard learned not to underestimate his mother. “I took her
last year to get her license
renewed and I thought they
would just give her an ID,” he
said. “Instead, they renewed
her license for two more
years – it expires in 2016,” he
said laughing.
Edna was the middle child
of 12 and is a little chafed that
she is the only one left. “They
went off and left me,” she
said. “They should have carried me with them.”
The mystery continues as
to why longevity eludes most
of us and is reserved for few.
This question is a mystery
to Mrs. Harvey as well, reply-
ing forcefully, “I have no
idea,” when asked why she
has lived for more than a century.
Although she is the last of
12 and is widowed twice, she
has her son and daughter-inlaw, grandchildren and two
great-grandchildren to occupy her when she isn’t furtively working in the yard or
occasionally driving to HEB.
“I am looking forward to
going home,” she said. Her
plans when she gets out of
the hospital are, “Hopefully
to go home,” where she plans
to, “Clean house and mess
around.”

US centanarians predominately in the South
Staff Writer
There are more of them
in the United States than
any other country in the
world. People more than
100 years-old are more
common in the US and
82.8 percent of them are
Caucasian females.
According to Wikipedia, the 2010 census
showed 53,364 or 17.3
people per 100,000 were
over the age of 100.
Japan has the secondlargest with an estimated 51,376 as of September 2012. Japan has the
second-largest number
of centenarians, with
an estimated 51,376 as
of September 2012, and
the highest proportion
of centenarians at 34.85
per 100,000 people.
Japan started recording its centenarians in
1963, at which time the
number of Japanese
centenarians was found
to be 153.
This number surpassed the 10,000 mark
in 1998, 20,000 in 2003,
and 40,000 in 2009.
The incidence of centenarians in Japan was
one per 3,522 people in
2008.
Studies
in
Italy
suggests that the healthy
centenarians have high
levels of vitamins A and
E and is believed to play
a role in guaranteeing
long life, but other
studies contradict this
in other countries where
this isn’t the case.
A preliminary study
carried out in Poland
showed
that,
in
comparison with young
healthy female adults,
centenarians
living
in Upper Silesia had
significantly higher red
blood cell glutathione
reductase and catalase
activities and higher,
although serum levels
of vitamin E were not
significantly higher. Researchers
in
Denmark have also
found that centenarians
exhibit a high activity
of the same enzyme in
red blood cells.
In this study, the
centenarians
having
the best cognitive and
physical
functional
capacity tended to have
the highest activity of
this enzyme.
Other research has
found that people having
parents who became
centenarians have an
increased number of
naïve B cells.
It is well known that
the children of parents
who have a long life are
also likely to reach a
healthy age, but it is not
known why, although
the inherited genes are
probably important. A variation in the gene
FOXO3A is known to
have a positive effect
on the life expectancy
of humans, and is found
much more often in
people living to 100 and
beyond - moreover,
this appears to be true
worldwide.
Some studies also
show that men
and women who
live beyond their
100th year tend
to be extroverted,
according
to
officials at who
performed
a
study at Boston
University.
Centenarians will
often have many
friends, strong ties
to relatives and
high self-esteem.
In addition, some
research suggests
that the offspring
of
centenarians
are more likely
to age in better
cardiovascular
health than their
peers.
According to one
researcher, there
are five factors
that research has
suggested
are
most
important
to
longevity
in
centenarians:
The largest group of
centenarians are women
who have never been
married. Also, people who have
The American

been through traumatic
life events learn to
cope better with stress
and poverty and are
more likely to reach
centenarian status.
In Okinawa, Japan,
studies have shown
five factors that have
contributed to the large
number of centenarians
in that region:
NO ONE KNOWS THE COUNTRY LIKE WE DO
1.A diet that is heavy
on grains, fish, and
vegetables and light on
meat, eggs, and dairy
products.
2.Low-stress lifestyles,
which
are
proven
significantly
less
stressful than that of the
mainland inhabitants of
Japan.
3.A caring community,
where older adults are
not isolated and are
taken better care of.
4.High levels of activity,
where
locals
work
until an older age than
the average age in
other countries, and
more
emphasis
on
activities like walking
and gardening to keep
active.
5.Spirituality, where a
sense of purpose comes
from involvement in
spiritual matters and
prayer eases the mind of
stress and problems.
Although
these
factors
vary
from
those mentioned in
the previous study, the
culture of Okinawa has
proven these factors
to be important in its
large
population
of
centenarians.
In
2010,
53,364
Americans were over
100 years old, including
5,921 in California, 4,605
in New York and 4,090
in Florida.
It makes sense that
California had the most,
given how populous the
state is.
Interestingly, when
looked at as a percentage
of states’ populations,
North Dakota took the
lead, with 3.29 percent of
its population being over
100 years old, followed
by South Dakota with
2.95 percent.
The states with the
lowest concentrations
were Alaska, with 0.56
percent and Nevada
with just 0.75 percent of
their populations living
to see an entire century.
In addition to gender
and region, race was a
factor.
While whites made
up 72.4 percent of the
U.S. population in 2010,
they made up more
-- 82.5 percent -- of the
country’s centenarians.
Conversely,
while
Latinos made up 16.3%
of the population, they
made up only 5.8 percent
of centenarians. The
American region with
the most centenarians
was the South, with
17,444 people, followed
by the Midwest’s 13,112,
the Northeast’s 12,244
and the West’s 10,564.
Percentage-wise,
the
highest concentrations
of centenarians were
in the Northeast and
Midwest.

in September, after the
government sharply revised downward what
was initially an August
surge in buying.
New-home sales edged
up 0.2 percent last
month to a seasonally
adjusted annual rate of
467,000, the Commerce
Department
reported
Friday. The report also
revised down the August sales rate to 466,000
from 504,000.
The pace of sales for
newly built homes has
improved a mere 1.7
percent so far this year
compared to 2013. Only
the South has experienced gains in buying
year-to-date, while purchases have fallen in the
Northeast, Midwest and
West.
Housing has struggled
to fully rebound since
the recession ended
more than five years
ago. Many potential
buyers lack the savings
and strong credit history needed to afford a
home, causing them to
rent or remain in their
existing houses instead
of upgrading.
Construction and buyers of new homes have
trickled back from the
worst of the bust, but
new-home sales remain
drastically below the
annual rate of 700,000
during the 1990s.
Sales in the most ex-
pensive Western states
declined in September,
reversing some of the
gains made in August.
Because homes are
pricier in the West, that
pushed down the median price for a new home
to $259,000 from $286,800
in the prior month.
Analysts noted that the
new-home sales report
from the government
is notoriously volatile
from month to month,
yet sales have basically
been stuck in place for
the past few years.
“There is little evidence that the new
single-family housing
market is decisively
breaking out of its medium-term flat pattern,”
said Joshua Shapiro,
chief U.S. economist
at the forecasting firm
MFR.
Some of the financial
pressures on homebuyers are starting to
ease, yet it’s unlikely
that will do much to
suddenly boost sales of
new homes in the final
months of this year.
Over the past two
weeks, federal regulators have unveiled plans
to loosen down payment
requirements, and mortgage rates have tumbled
below 4 percent. Along
with a slowdown in
price growth, these factors could eventually
help usher more buyers
into the real estate market.
Average rates for a
30-year mortgage fell
to 3.92 percent from
3.97 percent last week,
the mortgage company
Freddie Mac reported.
That is the lowest level
since June 2013 and
marks a solid decline
from average rates that
began the year at 4.53
percent. When rates
fall, it becomes cheaper
for people to borrow and
makes homes more affordable.
But many potential
buyers are unable to
upgrade to a new home
by selling their current
home, as prices still
have yet to exceed mortgage debt for much of
the country.
More than 8 million
homes are “seriously
underwater,”
representing 15 percent of all
properties with a mortgage and roughly $1.4
trillion worth of negative equity, according
to the housing data company RealtyTrac. The
lasting damage from the
housing bust continues
to weigh on the market,
preventing some homeowners from upgrading to larger houses and
limiting the options of
buyers.
Builders have yet to
meaningfully ramp up
construction of singlefamily houses.
Almost all of the 6.3
percent growth in housing starts last month
came from apartments
and multi-family construction, the Commerce
Department
reported. Starts for single-family houses rose
just 1.1 percent in September compared to the
prior month.
Increased apartment
construction
reflects
a broader shift toward
renting. Many wouldbe buyers endured the
loss of their financial
savings and potentially

Amazon’s loss makes
holidays question mark
NEW YORK (AP) —
Amazon’s
trademark
smile icon is becoming
more of a grimace.
The world’s largest
online retailer reported a
wider third-quarter loss
than analysts expected
and gave a disappointing holiday forecast.
Investors are increasingly irked by Amazon’s
strategy of investing
heavily in new products
and services to spur
revenue growth while
reporting quarter after
quarter of losses or thin
profit. The stock price
tumbled 7 percent to
$291 in morning trading
Friday. That’s on top of
the 22 percent decline
the stock has already
suffered this year.
Chief Financial Officer Thomas Szkutak
said the company had
to be “selective” in taking on new projects. For
years, Amazon’s strategy has been spending
the money it makes to
grow and expand into
new areas. It launched
a smartphone, the Fire,
this summer and has
been offering a set-top
video-streaming device,
a streaming video service and several tablets
and e-book readers.
The company has also
been investing in services for its $99-a-year
loyalty program, Prime.
It has added a grocery
delivery services and
music streaming for
Prime members as well
as offering original TV
shows such as the critically acclaimed “Transparent” starring Jeffrey
Tambor.
But all of those initiatives cost money and
time to develop. And not
all of them have been
hits.
The company’s splashy
launch of its Fire phone
was quickly followed
by mediocre reviews
and a steep price cut to
entice buyers. Amazon
said it took a charge of
$170 million related to
“inventory evaluation
and supplier commitment costs” for the Fire,
although it did not give
further details.
So
investors
are
increasingly signaling
that Amazon needs to
work harder at turning
a profit.
“The market was looking for more in terms of
revenue and operating
income and the fourthquarter outlook,” said
Morningstar
analyst
R.J. Hottovy. “It’s going
to be a competitive
landscape for retailers
this holiday season and
retailers will compete
aggressively.”

the time-being but more
people are stuck renting,
according to an analysis
from the real estate data
firm Trulia. A recent report by the firm found
that current mortgage
rates have made it 38
percent cheaper to buy
a home rather than renting, based on a sevenyear timeframe.
“Consumers tell us
that the main obstacle
to homeownership is
the down payment,”
said Jed Kolko, chief
economist at Trulia in
the report. “For those
would-be homeowners
—especially first-timers
without savings or equity from another home
— a low-down-payment
mortgage might be the
only option.”
Federal
regulators
have announced plans
this month to lower the
down payment requirements for some Fannie
Mae and Freddie Mac
programs to 3 percent
from 5 percent.

“SMMC is pleased to

added Emma Krabill,
interim CEO, SMMC.
“Staff from across the
organization continue
to work together to de-

approaches that have
the potential to improve
care for the patients in
our community.”
The Joint Commission’s hospital standards are developed in

Greater Rotary helping to eradicate Polio
Special To The Herald
Today is World Polio
Day. Polio is a crippling
and potentially deadly
infectious disease. It is
caused by the poliovirus. The virus spreads
from person to person
and can invade an
infected person’s brain
and spinal cord, causing paralysis.
In
1985
Rotary
launched PolioPlus and
spearheaded the Global
Polio
Eradication
Initiative with other
organizations in the US
and worldwide to immunize the children of the
world against polio.
Remarkable progress
has been achieved in
the fight against polio.
Since 1988 the number
of polio cases has been
reduced 99 percent from
350,000 a year to about
400 in 2013. There are
only three countries:
Nigeria, Afghanistan
and Pakistan that have
never stopped transmis-
sion of the wild poliovirus.
In 2014, Southeast Asia
was certified polio-free
after India eliminated
the disease from its borders, an incredible feat
from a country once
considered the hardest
place on earth to stop
polio.
Rotary is currently
working to raise an
additional $200 million
toward a $355 million
challenge grant from
the Bill and Melinda
Gates Foundation.
Our club, The Greater
Big Spring Rotary Club,
is one of more than 51
clubs throughout our
Rotary District 5730. We
sponsor service projects
to address such critical
issues
as
poverty,
health, hunger, illiteracy and the environmental right here in our
community as well as
abroad.

Bishop to preside
over All-Saints’ Day
Mass, in San Angelo
Blessing of Graves
SAN ANGELO - San
Angelo Bishop Michael
J. Sis will celebrate the
Blessing of the Graves,
Saturday, Nov. 1, at
Calvary Cemetery in
San Angelo. Mass will
be offered at 11 a.m.,
followed by the blessing of the graves.
The ceremony is normally celebrated on All
Souls’ Day, Nov. 2 each
year; however, since
Nov. 2 falls on a Sunday
this year, the Blessing
of the Graves will be
held on All Saints’ Day,
Nov. 1, in order not to
interfere with regular
Sunday activities in
parishes.
All Souls’ Day will be
observed in all the
Sunday Masses in
Catholic parishes on
Nov. 2 this year. On
this day Catholics
remember those who
have died and pray that
they may rest in peace.
First observed in a
French monastery in
the town of Cluny in
998 AD, the feast was
gradually adopted by
the whole Church.

Safe Halloween fun with family pets
(Family Features)
Including pets in your
family’s Halloween festivities can be a fun
addition to your celebration. However, with all
the excitement comes
the chance for pets to
get into danger or trouble. You can head off
potential problems and
enjoy an evening of fun
with some safety tips
and smart planning.
Keeping your pet away
from candy and other
Halloween treats is
especially important
because so many favorites include chocolate,
which is potentially
toxic for dogs. It’s also
an ideal time to practice
obedience commands
with your four-legged
friends, as crowds of
unfamiliar people, costumes and lots of open
doors can create temptations too hard to
resist.
To include your furry
family members while
still keeping them safe
during the fun, follow
this advice from the pet
experts at PetSmart:
Trick-or-treating
together
• Before hitting the
streets, make sure your
dog is socialized around
kids, adults and other
animals.
• Bring water and
treats such as crunchy
Blue Buffalo Boo Bars to
reward your dog for
good behavior and
reduce
the
desire to go for
kids’ candy.
•
Increase
nighttime visibility with LED
leashes, collars
or harnesses, or
look for the
l i g h t - u p
Halloween outfits available at
PetSmart this
year.
Pawsitively
good party manners
• Before guests
arrive, practice
“leave it” or a
similar
command. This is
useful to help
pets avoid candy
or food they
might encounter
on
the
g r o u n d .
Trainers can
help you get it
down right.
• Establish a rule that
guests don’t feed the dog
- candy or human food.
A new interactive toy or
long-lasting rawhide
may keep your pup busy
and out of temptation’s
way. Many ingredients
commonly found in
Halloween candy can be
harmful to your pet. For
example, xylitol, found
in gum and candy can
cause dangerously low
blood sugar or liver disease in dogs. Chocolate
can create a range of
symptoms, from vomiting to abnormal heart
rhythm to death. Even
snacks that are healthy
for humans, such as raisins can cause a toxic
reaction.
• Prevent your dog
from running out an
open door by working
on a “stay” command.
PetSmart’s
expert
trainer
Debbie
McKnight explains how
to teach this trick: Ask
your dog to sit, and
praise him when he
‘Pilfered’ pumpkins
used to please pigs’
SOMERSWORTH,
N.H. (AP) — A pilfered
pumpkin caper in New
Hampshire was just a
misunderstanding that
put some pounds on a
passel of pigs.
Foster’s
Daily
Democrat reports hundreds of pumpkins were
reported stolen earlier
this week after a festival
in Somersworth, in
southeast
New
Hampshire on the Maine
border. The pumpkins
had been set aside
behind a school to be
sold this weekend at a
craft fair.
But a farmer, who
police didn’t identify,
saw the bins of pumpkins and asked a school
employee if he could
take them for his pigs.
Police Capt. Russ
Timmons says the
employee didn’t know
the pumpkins were
being saved and gave
the farmer the goahead.
Timmons says no
charges will be filed
even though “the only
ones that are happy in
this whole thing are the
hogs.”
obeys.
While your dog is sitting, say “stay” and
place your hand flat
with your palm facing
the dog.
Wait 2-3 seconds then
give your dog a treat.
You can increase the
time he stays by a couple of seconds every
three repetitions, working up to 30 seconds.
• If you aren’t confident about your dog’s
abilities, keep him on a
leash while the doorbell
is ringing.
Costume comfort and
safety
• A costume should
never constrain or bother your pet. If your pet
isn’t comfortable, try a
strap-on costume that
attaches loosely with
snaps or around the pet,
or find other ways to
look festive such as Pet
Expressions, available
in the PetSmart grooming salon.
• Once a costume fits
properly, make sure
your pet won’t trip on
anything like a cape or
ribbon.
Check for little parts
within chewing distance and keep identification tags on collars.
• Throughout the evening, watch your pet
and make adjustments
as needed.
You may need to cut
or remove portions of
the costume to increase
a pet’s comfort.
The most important
part of the evening is
your pet’s safety.
Politicians fight over the
zombie vote in Spokane
SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — Zombies
have become a political issue in a
state Senate race in Spokane.
Incumbent Republican Sen. Michael
Baumgartner is challenged by
Democrat Rich Cowan, whose North
by Northwest production company
helped film “Z Nation” for the Syfy
Channel in Spokane.
KXLY reports Cowan touts the hundreds of jobs the TV show brought to
the city. Baumgartner says the zombie jobs are temporary and created
with a taxpayer subsidy.
Cowan says the second season of “Z
Nation” will likely be produced in
Spokane.

Darth Vader hopes force with him
KIEV, Ukraine (AP)
One
candidate
in
Ukraine’s parliamentary elections hopes to
bring voters to the dark
side: Darth Alekseyevich
Vader.
Dressed in full Star
Wars regalia, Vader
prowls the streets of
Kiev atop his black campaign van wooing voters
with promises to turn
Ukraine into a “galactic
empire.” So serious is
he about his mission
that he even legally
changed his name to
Darth Vader ahead of
the elections (He was
previously known as
Viktor Shevchenko.)
The
electricianturned-interplanetary
warlord insists his
Internet Party is serious
business.
Speaking
to
The
Associated Press on his
van,
flanked
by
Stormtroopers
and
shrouded in white
fumes, Vader explained
that his top goal is to
computerize all government business.

With Your Dog
(Family
Features)
Heather Loenser, DVM,
knows first-hand the
joys and challenges of
traveling with her dog.
She and her family
recently adopted a yearold Border collie named
Calvin.
“As a new dog in our
house, Calvin is experiencing some separation
anxiety, so we don’t
want to board him or
leave him with a pet sitter,”
Dr.
Loenser
explained. “Even though
he suffers from car sickness, when the family
goes on vacation, Calvin
comes with us.”
Dr. Loenser is often
called upon to help her
clients prepare for vacations with their dogs.
Her top five travel tips
are:

4.
Avoid
Dietary
Changes
Stay as close to your
dog’s regular feeding
schedule as possible and
avoid giving extra treats
or different types of
foods that may upset
their stomach. Dr.
Loenser suggests giving
regular meals in a food
dispensing toy, which
will also help use up
some stored energy from
the trip.
5.
Consult
Your
Veterinarian
One of the main reasons dogs get left behind
is, like Calvin, they suffer from motion sickness. “My clients often
try
over-the-counter
remedies first,” Dr.
Loenser said. “However,
OTC products are not
very effective and have
a sedative effect that can
be unpleasant for the
dog.”
“I prescribe an FDA
approved medication for
dogs called CERENIA(r)
(maropitant citrate) to
prevent vomiting due to
motion sickness in my
canine clients 16 weeks
and older - and Calvin.”
Dr. Loenser knows it is
safe
and
effective
because it’s the medicine she uses every day
to prevent and treat
other causes of vomiting in her patients.
She advises dog owners to talk to their veterinarians who can help
find a solution for their
dogs’ car sickness.
“When you think
about it, taking your dog
along on vacation can
be less expensive than
paying for a kennel or
dog sitter. That leaves
more to spend on fun
activities to enjoy with
your dog.”

Right at Home: fall decor gets cozy
(AP) Cozying up in a
favorite sweater is one
of the distinct pleasures
of autumn.
This fall, designers
and retailers are stitching up sweater motifs
on an array of home
décor.
So while you’re wrapping yourself in a big,
soft cardigan, you can
also grace your space
with a dollop of knitted
comfort.
Hannah
Millman,
executive
editorial
director of crafts for
Martha Stewart Living,
says knitwear is a trend
with
near-universal
appeal.
She suggests some doit-yourself projects.
“Almost everyone has
a memory of a sweater
that makes them feel
good. What’s so great
about repurposing one
of your own is that you
get to keep it and enjoy
it,” she says.
“And if you’ve found
one at a market that
someone may have knit
back in the ‘40s, you can
give it the opportunity
to be loved again by
making it into something new.”
One of Millman’s
favorite ways to reuse
sweaters: Collect a
bunch of creamy-hued
ones, in one type of knit
or perhaps several, and
cut them up to make a
blanket, pillow or rug.
You’ll find project ideas
and instructions at
Marthastewart.com as
well as Countryliving.
com, where there are
also how-tos for lamps,
bowls and sconces.
“Creating a little story
on pillows using pieces
of old sweaters is a big
trend,” she says.
Look for pieces in gra-
dations of color — perhaps pale pink to deep
cherry, or sky blue to
indigo. Or search tag
sales and thrift stores
for sweaters with nature
motifs to create a group
of woodland pillows.
Those
dreadful
Christmas sweaters of
old can be transformed
into new Christmas
stockings; other heavily
patterned and colorful
sweaters make great
rugs.
Millman
suggests
using a rotary cutter
and anchoring the edges
of a loose knit with
masking tape while cutting, to reduce fraying.
She also advises washing any woolens in hot
soapy water in case
there are moths. If you
then machine-dry the
sweater, you’ll end up
with a “felted” material,
popular in crafting cir-
cles, where the fibers
smush together. If you
line-dry the garment,
the knit pattern remains
and the fibers stay separated.
If you aren’t up for a
craft project yourself,
don’t worry‚ there are
lots of stores offering
sweater-themed items.

Museum shows Louis Armstrong photos by friend
ig
NEW YORK (AP)
Louis Armstrong sometimes referred to Jack
Bradley as his “white
son,” inviting him to
private
rehearsals,
recording sessions, on
the road, his dressing
room and home. Bradley
had unrestricted access
to his hero for 12 years,
documenting
him
through thousands of
photographs and saving
Armstrong’s
sound
recordings, fan letters‚
and even handkerchiefs.
“It’s the finest and
largest collection of
Armstrong material in
private hands‚ without
any doubt,” said Dan
Morgenstern, the former longtime director
of the Institute of Jazz
Studies at Rutgers
University. “It has
everything from the
trivial to the extraordinary, and a lot of it came
from them being together.”
Select items from the
monumental collection
are on view in a new
exhibition
opening
Tuesday at the Louis
Armstrong
House
Museum in Corona,
Queens.
It covers the last 12
years of Armstrong’s
life and features photographs never before
published,
scanned
from original negatives.
Due to space limitations, the museum is
showing a tiny fraction
of the material that
includes 2,600 recordings, 2 cubic feet of
newspaper clippings,
1,000 fan letters, 1,900
photographic prints —
and 6,000 images found
on negatives or contact
sheets.
“This exhibition is the
first foray into making
some of these images
public for the first
time,”
said
Ricky
Riccardi, the archivist
for the house museum,
a modest brick building
where the great jazz
musician lived for 28
years and died in 1971.
“This is the start of really examining the unique
relationship between
Jack and Louis.”
The museum, which
plans to break ground
in the spring on an exhibition center across the
street, acquired the collection in 2005‚ crammed
inside Bradley’s Cape
Cod home. It already
has the largest publicly
held archival collection
devoted to a jazz musician in the world.
The longtime friendship with Armstrong
was “the greatest thing
that ever happened to
me,” said the 80-yearold Bradley, a collector
of all things jazz who
met the performer
through a friend, Jeann
Failows. Failows helped
Armstrong with his fan
mail.
Amstrong asked him
to come along to “things
that the general public
would not know about,”
Riccardi said. “Just by
being his friend he was
privy to this information. He was the only
photographer at some of
these sessions.”
A sign of their closeness can be glimpsed in
a
1968
postcard
Armstrong sent Bradley
and Failows addressed
“Dear Children.” And a
1969
note
from
Armstrong’s
wife
Lucille informs Bradley
of their new telephone
number‚ the same one
still used at the museum
today.
Among the photographs is a rare image
of Armstrong and Miles
Davis, who was some-
pring
erald
times portrayed as
resentful of Armstrong,
smiling
together.
Another poignant photograph, taken weeks
before
Armstrong’s
death, shows the ailing
performer at home playing along with his old
recording of “Trees.”
The museum is offering eight selected prints
from the collection for
purchase through its
new print-to-order feature. The two photographs
are
among
them.

Nursing assistant who beat Ebola mourns loss of Excaliber
MADRID (AP) The
husband of the Spanish
nursing assistant who
beat Ebola says his wife
now knows that authorities killed their dog
Excalibur while she was
in the hospital and is
questioning that decision.
In an interview published Thursday by the
Spanish newspaper El
Pais, Javier Limon says
he finally told Teresa
Romero after she tested
negative for Ebola this
week that their mixed
breed dog was euthanized two days after her
Oct. 6 hospitalization.
Limon said “she is
asking herself why they
killed the dog, who
wasn’t to blame for anything.”
Spanish officials had
said the dog was a possible risk for transmitting the deadly virus.
Quality Ginning Doesn’t Cost, IT PAYS
Man robs graves for gold teeth
Squirrel ends up in back seat of police car GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) — A
squirrel that ended up in the back
seat of a Michigan police car is out of
trouble.The Grand Rapids Press
reports that the animal hopped in on
2014 Ginning Charges
The suspect identified only by his
initials, J.K., was taken in for questioning in the western city of Tetovo
after police searched him outside a
shopping mall and found him carrying 12 pairs of dentures, four gold
