various crimes against property, 37 vandalism

The year also saw 36 youth face drug-related
charges.
These cases involved a total 669 young people,
423 of which were male and 246 females.
The young people who appeared before the
courts ages range widely with 31 being 6 years
and under, 145 being between the ages of 7 and

Seventy-six percent of the children who faced

or lived with relatives other than their biological
parents, foster care, group homes and other nontraditional living arrangements.
So far in 2015, in the period ending on March
30, there have been a total 272 youth petitioned

The Bradley County Sheriff’s
office was able to show its pride
Friday when County commissioners got a briefing on the latest finding from the Tennessee Bureau of
Investigation.
Sheriff Eric Watson told members of the Law Enforcement
Committee that TBI’s statistics
show the BCSO ranks ninth out of
the 95 counties for the most burglaries solved in the state.
“That makes our county the only
southeastern law enforcement
agency in the Top Ten,” Watson
said.
TBI’s report also showed the
BCSO’s clearance rate for offenses
including murder, assault, DUI,
rape and drug possession as well
as the burglary charges was 55
percent.
Those numbers are significantly
higher than the state average of 39
percent.
“Our officers have done an outstanding jobs and the trust that

WALLS ARE UP and construction is moving ahead on Cleveland High School’s new Raider Arena.
The contractor (Tri-Con) has been running behind somewhat due to the weather, but enjoyed favorable

Tenants’ rights focus of Impact Cleveland session
By TONY EUBANK
Banner Staff Writer
Impact Cleveland, in conjunction with the Cleveland
City Community Development
Block Grant program, recently
held an informational session
on tenants’ rights. The purpose
of the event was to inform area
renters of their rights and
responsibilities as tenants.
CDBG grant coordinator
Teresa Torbet explained that
addressing fair housing and
similar issues are one of the
CDBG’s initiatives.
“I do feel like it is very important for everyone to know their
rights, whether it be tenants or
landlords, and to be empowered
to be good stewards to each
other and to the community,”
Torbet said.
“Dustin (Tommey) with
Impact Cleveland, me with the
City of Cleveland, and Paul
Dellinger with the Housing
Authority, partnered last year
for one of these workshops and
felt like it was important to try
and do it every year,” he said.
“So, we’ve sponsored a second
one and appreciate people turning up for it. ”
About nine people were in
attendance as Bryan Frye, an
attorney with Legal Aid of East
Tennessee, offered tips to the
small but impassioned audience on defending their rights
as tenants in General Sessions
Court.
Frye discussed in brief the
Uniform Residential Landlord
and Tenant Act. URLTA was
designed to give renters and
landlords a clear set of rules
and regulations concerning
leases and evictions.

Mayor Rowland launches Tool Share project
By JOYANNA LOVE
Banner Senior Staff Writer
Blythe–Oldfield Community
Association, Impact Cleveland
and the city of Cleveland are
looking for donations of new and
like new yard tools for a Tool
Share program.
Cleveland Mayor Tom Rowland
recently announced the program,
for which specific details are still
being worked out.
Rowland said he was inspired
by the story of another town with
a similar program.
“People wanted to have gardens, but they didn’t have the
tools to do it. It’s like a library, if
people want to borrow a shovel or
a hoe, even a lawnmower, they
just check it out,” Rowland said.
He said the program could
provide a no-cost way for people
to improve their yards and
homes.
“So what I am asking is folks
who have extra tools that are in
good condition that they could
donate them so they could put it
in the Tool Share program. Even
a rototiller or a cultivator would
be a great gift to give,” Rowland
said.
Blythe–Oldfield Community
Association president Kim
Lorello said a temporary secure
location for the tools has been
found. However, the long-term
goal is to have a tool shed on the
garden property.
“If anyone has a donation of a
newer shed, we are willing recipients,” Lorello said.
Lorello said people would need
to check in with the Impact
Cleveland Office in the Blythe
Family Resource Center on
Blythe Avenue, if they wanted to
use the tool off site. The office
will take a picture of their driver’s license.
The garden will be open and
tools available from approximately 10 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. throughout the summer.
Five community members will
have keys to the facility, Lorello
said.
Tools would be required to be
returned the same day on which
they were borrowed.
To make a donation, contact
Impact Cleveland at 472-9876.
The garden will have a kick-off
celebration, bake sale and yard

Summer and fall registration
currently underway at CSCC
Banner photo, HOWARD PIERCE
VOLUNTEERS Wanda Rice, Emily Phillips and Lisa Cordell (not pictured) happily serve the less
fortunate residents of Cleveland a hot and fresh lunch Saturday provided by the Little Caesers Love
Kitchen.
Summer registration is currently being held at Cleveland
State
Community
College
through Thursday, May 28, for
all students.
Jason Sewell, director of
Enrollment Services, noted
“Many times, a summer class
can be a great way for students
to concentrate on that one class
or two that they may feel might
be more difficult for them. This
allows them to focus entirely on
that class without the demands
of a full load. Taking summer
classes is a great way to work
toward completing a credential
quicker.”
Classes begin on Monday,
June 1, for both the first and the
full summer session, and classes
begin on Monday, July 6, for the
second summer session.
Cleveland State offers a wide
variety of programs including
four associate of arts options,
three associate of science
options, and 10 associate of
applied science options with 24
concentrations, and 25 technical
certificates.
There are a number of different scheduling options for working adults, as well as the
ADVANCE program, the Regent’s
Online Degree Program and programs for veterans.
The ADVANCE program offers
students a quick and convenient
way to obtain a college degree by
attending class one to two nights
a week. There a variety of programs to be offered as an
Advance cohort including:
Advance Cohort Programs
Starting June 2015:
n Business (Degree)
Advance Cohort Programs
Starting August 2015:
n Medical Informatics (Degree)
n Medical Assistant (Degree)
n Early Childhood Education
(Certificate and Degree)
n
Customer
Service
(Certificate)
n Process Control (Certificate)
n Electrical Maintenance
(Certificate and Degree)
n Mechanical Maintenance
(Certificate and Degree)
Registration for fall semester
at Cleveland State Community
College is also going on now until
Thursday, Aug. 20, for all students.
The last day to submit applications for degree seeking students is Friday, Aug. 14, and the
deadline for submitting financial
aid documents is Tuesday, June
30.
“We know that adults have
busy lives and it is a complex
thing to attend school, so we
have redesigned a number of our
programs to fit a working adult’s
life,” stated Dr. Denise King, vice
president for Academic Affairs.
“A number of our programs
are cohort based, and have a set
schedule so you will know
throughout the program when
your classes are. We are also
excited to announce that we
have new programs coming this
fall, as well, like agriculture,
paramedic and medical informatics.”
Also, new for fall is a weekend
schedule that allows students to
enroll full-time by attending only
Friday night and Saturday.
King continued, “We also know
that child care is a major issue
for many of our students, and we
are looking for partnerships with
local
day-care
providers
throughout our service area to
support our students.”
In addition, Cleveland State
and the Cleveland State
Foundation have worked together to provide funds for last dollar
scholarships for adult students.
This resulted in the Adult
Promise Scholarship, which is a
commitment to adult students
attending college for the first
time or returning to college to
complete their first degree.

Anderson: What happens early
in child’s development is important
By BRIAN GRAVES
Banner Staff Writer
The most critical time in a
human’s life in terms of capacity
development is the first four
years.
That is the most important
thing people should know, said
James Anderson, chief executive
officer of the Family Resource
Agency.
During his address to the
Rotary Club of Cleveland this
week, he described the agency,
calling it “an umbrella organization.”
“We have two major divisions
— the early learning division
which includes Head Start, Early
Head Start and Pre-K services,”
he said. “We also have a family
violence division which includes
services to victims of domestic
and sexual violence.”
The agency currently employs
500 and services more than
3,000 clients each year with a
$21 million budget.
“Our major funding sources
are the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services, the
state of Tennessee, state of
Georgia and local United Way,”
he said.
Concerning the statement on
development, Anderson said the
important thing to know is during the last 10 years there has
been a tremendous amount of
brain research.
“What they are finding are
synapses — neural connections
in the brain — are developing
[during those first few years],”
Anderson said.
He noted a study which says a
baby forms over 700 of those
connections every second.
“That tells us what happens
early on in life is so important,”
he said.
Anderson said scientists are
discovering if children are subjected to “toxic stress,” it changes
the physical structure of their
brains.
“Not in a good way, in a bad
way,” he said.
“Scientists have determined a
typical poor child is exposed, by

talks about the agency’s programs and services during a
presentation for the Rotary Club
of Cleveland.
age 4, to 30 million less words
than a child from a more affluent
background,” Anderson
said.
“Those kind of experiences definitely have an impact on all of
us.”
He said the quality and richness of a young child’s experiences have a significant impact
on the brain’s development.
“Quality, early education
makes good economic sense,”
Anderson said. “Most economists
say it has a three- to sevenfold
payoff in benefits to society.”
He said children exposed to
such education are more likely to
have higher levels of verbal and
math skills, less likely to be held
back in a grade in school, less
likely to need special services,
more likely to be employed, more
likely to be healthier physically,
have a higher income and less
likely to be on welfare.
“Quality, early education is a
foundation that a successful life
is built on,” Anderson said.
He said the agency focuses on
providing a stimulating environment, love and nurturing, and
good nutrition.
“As they become toddlers and
pre-K, we focus on school readiness,” Anderson said. “We begin
teaching them to read and write,
letter recognition and colors.”
He said the agency uses up-todate technology with interactive
tools in their classrooms.
“We also have good old-fashioned wooden puzzles to
strengthen their motor skills,” he
said. “They also learn music and
sharing because sharing is so
important to development.”
Anderson said the Family
Violence Program currently
serves Polk and Bradley counties
using the Harbor Safe House.
He noted recent stories about
ex-boyfriends or husbands who
have killed their female companion and child.
“That shows you how serious
family violence is as an issue that
has to be dealt with,” Anderson
said. “In those cases, and it’s
documented, it’s a matter of control with those individuals [who
are violent]. When they feel they
are losing control, they will take
whatever measures they can —
even to the point of killing their
wife and child and then killing
themselves.”
He said the agency deals with
cases of domestic abuse on a
daily basis.
“We have a hotline that can be
called 24 hours a day, seven days
a week. Someone will answer the
call and talk about the situation
and help to understand what
needs to be done,” Anderson
said.
That number is 423-476-3886.
He said there are occasions
when immediate help is required,
and law enforcement is contacted.
Women and children can also
be housed at the Harbor Safe
House if necessary.
“Sometimes they are talking
about other issues that are not
immediate dangers, and they can
come and be part of our groups,”
he said.
Anderson said the agency
plans to host a fundraising 5kilometer
run
on
the
Cleveland/Bradley
County
Greenway in October.
Bruce Jenner sued for wrongful death over highway crash
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The
stepchildren of a woman killed in
an automobile crash involving
Bruce Jenner sued the Olympic
gold medalist Friday for wrongful
death, claiming they have suffered enormous damages.
The lawsuit provides no new
details about the February crash,
which authorities said occurred
when Jenner’s sport utility vehicle collided with the woman’s car,
pushing it into oncoming traffic.
Kim Howe, 69, died at the scene.
The lawsuit by Dana Redmond
and William Howe does not specify how much they are seeking.
They claim Jenner was negligent
when he collided with heir stepmother’s car, causing them and
other relatives “great losses.”
Jenner’s publicist Alan Nierob
declined to comment.
Jenner, 65, has not been
charged in the case. An investigation is ongoing.
A week ago, millions of people
watched Jenner tell Diane
Sawyer in a TV interview that he
identifies as a woman and has
felt gender confusion since he
was a boy. He said he had not yet
decided whether to undergo sexual reassignment surgery, but for
the time being wanted to be
referred to using male pronouns.

U.S. decides not to
investigate Toyota
unwanted acceleration
DETROIT (AP) — U.S. safety
regulators have rejected a Rhode
Island man’s request for an investigation into low-speed unintended acceleration problems with
Toyota Corolla compact cars.
The National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration says it put
over 2,000 miles on the man’s
2010 Corolla. But the agency’s
Ohio test lab couldn’t find any
problems with the throttle or
transmission. The lab also found
that the brakes could keep the
car stationary at full throttle.
The decision is a victory for
Toyota, which has been dogged by
complaints of unwanted acceleration since 2009.

Zeno C. Tharp Award
Lee University recognized
Ashley Matthews as the 2015
recipient of the Zeno C. Tharp
Award during Honors Chapel on
Thursday, April 23.
She will be recognized for this
honor
again
at
Lee’s
Commissioning
service
on
Friday, May 8.
Established in 1955, this
annual award is given to the Lee
senior who shows the greatest
promise of making a significant
contribution to the church. It is
named in honor of the sixth president of Lee who served from
1935-44. Each department may
nominate one student for the
award, and of these nominees a
winner is selected by a faculty
vote.
Matthews was nominated by
both the Language and Literature
and the History, Political Science,
and Humanities departments for
the award.
“Ashley’s life, not just in
action, but in attitude of deepest
humility, points anyone who
interacts with her to Christ,” said
Dr. Jean Eledge, professor of
French and chair of the
Department of Language and
Literature. “Serving the Kingdom
of God is not just something
Ashley Matthews has done or
even will do — it is absolutely
who she is.”
A native of Sanford, North
Carolina, Matthews is graduating
magna cum laude with bachelor’s
degrees in Spanish education
and history. She is currently
teaching Spanish II at Bradley
Central High School as an interim teacher.
Matthews, an All-American
cross-country runner, has been
on the team since coming to Lee
in 2011. She serves as president
of Sigma Delta Pi, the national
collegiate Spanish honor society.
“My own faith is shaped by
these moments when God did not
have to choose me, but He loved
me enough to make me uncomfortable and draw me closer to
Himself,” said Matthews.
She has served in numerous
missional positions, including
camp director for TEAMeffort
Youth Missions in Puerto Rico,
Antigua, and Guatemala; translator for Sharing Christ Our
Redeemer Enterprises (SCORE)
International; camp counselor for
Word of Life in Costa Rica and
Panama; and day care worker for
First United Methodist Church in
Cleveland.
“Ashley serves as a role model
for anyone who hopes to advance
the gospel,” said Dr. John Coats,
associate professor of history.
“She not only seeks out ways to
serve others and further the work
of Christ, but she does so with
great humility and grace.”

Don’t fall
for these 5
infomercial
tricks
NEW YORK (AP) — Infomercials
that sell shampoos, zit creams and
the latest weight loss gadgets can
be hard to turn away from. But
before you pick up that phone, you
should know that the low, low
prices and easy monthly payments
advertised are not always what
you’ll pay.
“There are many problems with
infomercials,”
says
Edgar
Dworsky, the editor of consumer
resource
guide
ConsumerWorld.org. “Not all of
them are misleading, but many
are.”
Leaving aside whether the miracle products really work as advertised (some do, but always check
out online reviews at Amazon.com
or elsewhere), you have to be careful and aware that the $19.95
price touted often will wind up
being a lot more.
One popular tactic: adding high
processing and handling fees. The
company behind the Snuggie,
Perfect Bacon Bowl and other “As
Seen on TV” products agreed to
pay $8 million in March to settle
charges that it deceived customers. The Federal Trade
Commission said costumers were
led to believe they would be getting
two $19.95 products for less than
$10 each, but actually paid $35.85
when a processing and handling
fee was added. Allstar Marketing
Group said it always believed it followed the law and said that it has
made changes to make costs easier to understand.
Still, bad players are out there.
Here’s what to look out for:
1. STEALTH SUBSCRIPTIONS!
Get real close to the TV and read
the fine print: Some marketers will
automatically put customers on a
subscription plan. That means
customers will be charged periodically to ship products. This is
especially common from those
hawking face creams, hair conditioners and other beauty products.
In the infomercial, a warning is
often written in tiny print under
the price, says Dworsky, who also
edits MousePrint.org, which
exposes the fine print in advertising.
2. EASY PAYMENTS — THAT
ADD UP!
Break out the calculator:
Expensive gadgets are sometimes
broken up into “easy payments”
that makes the product seem
cheaper. They might say, for example, that you’ll pay $39.95 in four
easy payments, adding up to $160.
3. BUY ONE GET ONE (NOT)
FREE!
Freebies can be far from free. A
“free second item” can sometimes
come with high processing fees.
Before making a purchase, customers should call and ask the
company what the total charges
will be, including shipping, handling and fees, says Dworsky.
4. UPSELL! UPSELL! UPSELL!
If you buy a product online or
through the phone, you may be
pushed to buy extra products you
don’t need. If you fall for it, you’ll
also likely pay extra processing,
handling and shipping costs,
pushing your bill even higher.
5. “TRIAL” PERIOD FOR A
PRICE!
Be aware that free trials aren’t
forever (and sometimes trials
aren’t even free), and ask what the
cost would be if you decide to keep
the product.
“The price shown is often just
the price of trying the product,”
says Dworsky. “If you want to keep
it, a much higher price is charged.”
You should also be very clear on
what you have to do if you decide
to return the product, who pays
for that shipping and how difficult
it will be.

LocaL eMS Paramedic Stan Clark and others met with Congressman Chuck Fleischmann
during the National EMS on the Hill event.
National EMS on the Hill
attended by local paramedic
The annual EMS on the Hill Day was held in
Washington, D.C. last week. This event brings
EMS professionals from all over the country to
Capitol Hill to lobby for important legislation
that impacts Emergency Medical Services.
The National Association of EMT’s (NAEMT)
organizes and hosts the program every year.
Stan Clark, a veteran paramedic at
Bradley County EMS, serves on the
Southeastern EMS Director’s Association
Committee and The Tennessee Ambulance
Service Association. Clark attended the EMS
on the Hill event with the Tennessee EMS delegation.
The week began on Tuesday morning with
Tennessee Tuesday, where Senators Corker
and Alexander met with the EMS members at
a social breakfast.
The biggest part of the trip involved meeting with members of Congress in the Senate
and the House. A preplanned schedule was
prepared by NAEMT for the groups to follow.
Paramedic Clark and his associates met
with Representatives Scott DesJarlais, Chuck
Fleischmann and Phil Roe. They also had official meetings with Bob Corker’s and Lamar
Alexander’s offices.
“It is always an honor to go to Washington,
D.C. to represent Bradley County, our EMS
region, and the state. We feel like the meetings went well and that our political endeavors are making huge differences for EMS
responders,” Clark. said.
There are plans for Clark and the Tennessee
Ambulance Service Association to return to D.C.
in July for more lobbying on a specific bill that
they have been working on to align retirement
for EMS professionals to be the same as fire and
police services. The bill has been issued a number, HR-1440.
“Thanks to the efforts of Tennessee legislation
encouraging Congress to pass this on a federal
level, we are further along and closer than we
have ever been” Clark stated.
Sheriff’s Office plans second
Absolute Auction on May 16
Special to the Banner
Bradley County Sheriff Eric
Watson has announced another
Absolute Auction to be held at
the Sheriff’s Office, located at
2290 Blythe Avenue in Cleveland
on Saturday, May 16, at 10:30
a.m.
Sheriff Watson scheduled this
event just a few months after the
inaugural auction was such a
success in December.
This Absolute Auction will feature several types of vehicles,
trailers, along with some 70
guns, including handguns, rifles
and shotguns. Office furniture,
exercise equipment, a Harley
Davidson motorcycle and more
will also be available and all will
be sold to the highest bidder at
the auction.
“The Absolute Auction held in
December was the first held by
the Bradley County Sheriff’s
Office in years, and it was an
unbelievable success,” Watson
said.
“We were able to purchase
things such as cameras for patrol
units and upgrade ballistic vests
for officers with the almost
$75,000 the Sheriff’s Office
cleared. We were able to make
high-dollar purchases that didn’t
cost the taxpayers a penny.”
“We truly hope this auction is
as, or more, successful than the
one in December,” Watson said.
“We look forward to working with
John Sanders to clear out what is
left from the tremendous backlog
of items we found in storage
when we took office last Sept.1.”
Auction brochures can be
picked up at the front desk of the
Bradley County Sheriff’s Office.

Inked and irked: Apple Watch
users report tattoo problems
NEW YORK (AP) — It’s an
annoying problem for the
unlucky few: the Apple Watch’s
heart rate monitor and even
some other features might not
work if you have a tattoo on
your wrist.
Inked and irked Apple fans
have
dubbed
the
issue
“TattooGate” on Twitter, complaining that they must choose
between their body art and their
stylish gadget. Apple, for its
part, acknowledged the issue on
its support website.
“Permanent or temporary
changes to your skin, such as
some tattoos, can also impact
heart rate sensor performance,”
the site reads. “The ink, pattern, and saturation of some
tattoos can block light from the
sensor, making it difficult to get
reliable readings.”
Several watch owners complained about the problem on
social media this week, even
posting videos that show the
watch working well on an
undecorated wrist, but repeatedly locking or pausing when
worn on an arm with a tattoo.
Some said it appeared the
watch’s screen-lock feature was
triggering because the sensors
thought the watch was not sitting on their wrist.
That was frustrating and “a
bit embarrassing” for Graham
Edgell, a Los Angeles printing
broker who loves Apple products and was eager to show off
his new watch to friends after
his wife bought it for him.
Edgell, 38, said he thought a
software glitch was interfering
with the watch’s message notifications and other features,
until he heard about others
having trouble with their tattoos.
Edgell solved his problem by
moving the watch further down
on his wrist, away from the
dark floral tattoo that stops just
above the cuff of his shirt
sleeve. “When it was on the tattoo, it was as if it had lost connection with my skin,” he said.
“Now it’s absolutely fine.”
The watch tracks heart rates
through a common medical
technique that measures how
much light is absorbed by
blood. An Apple representative
referred a reporter to the company’s website, which explains
“Apple Watch uses green LED
lights paired with light-sensitive
photodiodes to detect the
amount of blood flowing
through your wrist at any given
moment. When your heart
beats, the blood flow in your
wrist — and the green light
absorption — is greater.”
While the problem doesn’t
occur with all tattoos, it may be
more likely to affect people with
dark red or black ink on the
side of the wrist where they
wear their watch, according to
anecdotal accounts.
“So far it’s not been an issue,”
said Nick Borelli, a 34-year-old
marketing
executive
in
Cleveland. He has a black tattoo
on the inside of his wrist — but
not the side where he has worn
the Apple Watch. He added that
he likes the watch but worries
the glitch could affect a large
“target demographic” of young,
tech-savvy people with tattoos,
who are likely to be interested
in the watch as a gadget and
fashion accessory.
The same problem may affect
other fitness bands that use
that method. At least one tattooed owner of a Fitbit device
posted a similar complaint on
the Reddit online forum in
January. In a statement, a
Fitbit representative didn’t
address that complaint directly
but said that with all heart-rate
monitors, “accuracy is affected
by personal physiology, location
of wear, and type of movement.”
If tattoos can interfere with
the way light is absorbed
through the skin, there so far
doesn’t appear to be a problem
with dark skin or scars. Some
experts say natural skin pigmentation wouldn’t block the
green light used by Apple,
although researchers at the
University of California, San
Francisco, have found dark skin
can affect the results of blood
oxygen sensors that use
infrared light.
The tech industry has confronted problems with skin coloring in the past. Microsoft and
Hewlett-Packard both fielded
complaints several years ago
about facial recognition sensors
in gaming consoles and computers that struggled to detect
people with dark skin. Both
companies suggested poor lighting interfered with the sensors’
ability to measure the contrast
between eyes and other facial
features.

Commission looks at bereavement leave expansion
By BRIAN GRAVES
Banner Staff Writer
The County Commission’s
Handbook Committee is considering expanding the bereavement
leave policy for county employees.
The current policy provides up
to three days of leave in the event
of the death of an immediate family member. Fire Department
employees get one day because of
the way their shifts are scheduled
with 24 hours on and 48 hours
off.
Theto family member is defined
as the employee’s spouse, parent,
child, sibling; the employee’s
spouse’s parent, child or sibling;
the employee’s child’s spouse; and
grandparents or grandchildren.
Currently, if more time is needed that request can be made to
the immediate supervisor by
using sick time or vacation time.
Commissioner Jeff Yarber said
he has always felt the three days
were unfair.
“If you lose a sibling or a child
especially, you’re not emotionally
able to come back that soon,”
Yarber said.
County Attorney Crystal
Freiberg acknowledged it might be
a problem “if the employee did not
have time on the books available.”
She said that would not mean a
supervisor could not approve
extra time, but it would mean a
deduction from their paycheck.
Commissioner Milan Blake said
he thought the policy should be
changed.
“I would be interested in allowing an extra three days and they
don’t have enough time accrued,”
Blake said.
Yarber said the issue needs to
be addressed.
“We’re assuming the negative in
the employee automatically and
we should assume the positive,”
Yarber said.
“The benefit of being compassionate outweighs the negative,”
Blake said.
The matter will remain open for
further discussion at the committee’s next meeting June 11.
Freiberg said the proposed
changes to employment categories
includes more specific definitions
of the terms “exempt’” and “non
exempt.”
The other change is the number
of hours worked to be considered
part-time.
Originally, it was those regularly scheduled to work less than 32
hours per week.
“We changed that to 30 to be
consistant with the Affordable
Care Act requirements,” Freiberg
said.
Working more than 30 hours
per week would require the county provide health insurance.
Freiberg also said the definition
of “introductory” employees of 90
days `is more clearly defined.
That is the same as what some
companies describe as a “probationary period.”
The proposed policy specifically

government
has
received the Distinguished

its budget.
This is Bradley County’s

When

Certificate of Recognition for

the award.
This has been presented to

The organization also awarded Samples and the county with
their Certificate of Achievement
for Excellence in Financial

This certificate is the highest
form of recognition in the area
of governmental accounting
and financial reporting.
“The award this year marks
the 10th year in a row that
Bradley County has been honored with this recognition of
excellence,” said County Mayor
D. Gary Davis. “And to add yet

is the fact that this award was

states employees do not accrue
vacation and sick leave during
that period.
Freiberg said that had never
been specificly worded in the policy.
“We have had it come up where
people have said they did not
know,” Freiberg said.
Holiday pay remains calculated
based on the employee’s straight
time pay rate.
Under the proposed policy
change, those who have to work
on a holiday “may be scheduled
off another regular workday in
order to received the holiday benefit.”
Hours that are worked on the
holiday are paid at the straight
time pay rate.
“That’s the way we’ve always
done, but it wasn’t very clear,”
Freiberg said.
One change would be for Fire
Department personnel who work
24-hour shifts.
“Previously, they received 7.44

hours of holiday pay on every pay
period,” Freiberg said. “Under this
change, that would not be paid at
all. Their holiday would happen
like other employees. If they are
not scheduled to work on a holiday, that will be recorded as 16
hours of pay. If they do work the
holiday, they will record both the
16 hours of holiday pay and the
24 hours of work.”
She said this was a way to
make it clear and do it in a way
that those who actually work the
holiday are getting the proper
benefit from doing so.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — A student who left a noose hanging
from a tree at Duke University has
been disciplined but can return to
campus next semester and won’t
face criminal charges, the university said Friday.
In announcing that it finished
its investigation, the university
also released an open apology letter written by the person responsible, who says the noose was
made as a joke and carelessly left
behind. The discovery of the noose
last month sparked outrage on
the school’s Durham campus and
made headlines across the country.
The letter says the person
didn’t fully understand its historical connection to lynchings in the
South.
“Once I realized the historical
connotations, I contacted the
Administration, and explained
that I never had any racist intent
— which anyone who knows me
could testify to,” the letter states.
“I apologized and co-operated in
every which way I could.”
The university said its investigation determined the noose was
left as a result of ignorance and
bad judgment. Investigations by
law enforcement officials have
also concluded.

Historic Preservation Commission
OKs pavilion and storage building
By JOYANNA LOVE
Banner Senior Staff Writer
The
Cleveland
Historic
Preservation
Commission
approved certificates of appropriateness for a pavilion and a
storage building during a recent
meeting.
Richard and Teresa Cope
requested a Certificate of
Appropriateness for a pavilion.
Richard Cope said the structure
was being built so they would
have a place to set up outdoor
furniture.
“The applicant received a COA
for construction oin September
of 2010 to construct a swimming pool, 6-foot privacy fence
and a 12-foot by 12-foot gabled
roof structure. The applicant
recently began construction of
the 12-foot by 12-foot structure
and staff notified them that the
original COA expired approximately four years ago, and that
they would need to reapply for a
new COA. The applicant had initially indicated they planned to
install a metal roof on the structure, but have since altered
their plans to use shingles
which match the existing roof,”
according to city planner Corey
Divel.
The privacy fence and swimming pool will built under the
original COA.
Cope said the style of the
structure would match the
house and the color would
match the fence.
A COA request by Michael
and Phyllis Callaway was also
approved for a portable building
with a porch and lean-to area
for a vehicle to park under.
Phyllis Callaway is a member
of the Historic Preservation
Commission, but did not vote on
this issue due to a conflict of
interest.
Callaway said the building
would be used for storage and
she plans to place wicker furniture on the porch.
“In addition to the portable
building, the applicant would
add a 4-foot porch on the east
side and 10-foot by 20-foot leanto on the north side to cover the
vehicle. The proposed lean-to
would be surrounded by privacy
fencing. The proposed building
would be constructed with wood
and painted either light gray
with black shingles or white
paint with a green roof.
“The applicant would like to
install a metal roof on the leanto and porch. The porch roof
would preferably have vintage
tin shingles. The roof of both the
lean-to and porch would have
minimal slope which would limit
the visibility from the street,”
Divel stated in the staff report.
A decision on a request by
Matt and Sarah Coleman was
delayed since the couple are out
of town.
Commission
members
expressed concern that the
work had already begun on the
project. Renovations to the exterior of buildings in the Historic
District are required to receive a
Certificate of Appropriateness
before the project begins. Sarah
Coleman is a member of the
Historic Commission.
The Historic Commission also
decided to ask a property owner
who had recently installed solar
panels to come to the next meet-
ing. Divel said the homeowner
had been told the solar panels
were acceptable as long as they
are not visible from the street.
The panels can be seen from the
street and thus are not in line
with the Historic Preservation
guidelines, he said.
Commission member Maryl
Elliott asked if the commission
should
consider
allowing
wrought iron as an option for
porch railings as an acceptable,
but not recommended option.
She said there are several
homes in the historic district
that have wrought iron.
Fellow board members Rufus
Triplett and Randy Wood said
these were installed before the
Historic
Preservation
Commission was formed.
Commission member Joan
Benjamin said there was a difference between having a
handrail for steps of wrought
iron and having a railing on the
entire porch. She said wroughtiron handrails had been permitted as a safety feature. A decision was not made but the topic
is expected to be discussed at
the commission’s next meeting.

CCCU as a co-planner and facilitator of several Leadership
Development Institutes and as an
officer on two CCCU commissions.
Prior to her work in higher education, Hoogstra practiced law as a
partner for 13 years in New Haven,
Connecticut.
Hoogstra received her juris doctor degree from University of
Connecticut School of Law, following her bachelor’s degree in regular and special education from
Calvin College.
Graduation festivities will begin
with a hooding ceremony for students earning graduate degrees.
This service will take place in the
Lee University Chapel on Friday,
May 8, at 4:30 p.m.
After the hooding ceremony, all
graduates will march in the commissioning service at 6:30 p.m. on
the SMC lawn. During commissioning, six graduates will share
stories of their Lee experiences,
and all graduates will receive
Bibles to commemorate this personal milestone. Following the
service, there will be a reception on
the Pedestrian Mall for guests and
graduates.
The commissioning and commencement services will not
require tickets unless inclement
weather shifts the ceremony
indoors, where seating is limited.
Over 475 degrees are set to be conferred, about 50 of which are for
graduate students.
The hooding, commissioning,
and commencement will be available for live stream viewing at

He said there was an arrest on
Thursday “we had been looking for
for years” achieved by help from
social media.
“That trust is working.
Transparency through the media
and through community meetings
are making a difference and I just
want to say thanks,” Watson said.
“We don’t want to be number nine.
We want to be number one.”
Capt. Steve Lawson of the
BCSO Criminal Investigation
Division asked committee members to consider a change in the
department’s per diem policy for
officers who are required to be out
of town for “mandatory travel.”
Lawson said he was not
requesting an increase from the
current $38 per day, but the ability to advance the funds to
employees rather than have them
submit the expenses for reimbursement.
By comparison, the state of
Tennessee pays $46 per day and
Bradley County Schools pay $40
per day.
“I don’t like the reimbursed
part,” Lawson said. “I think you
ought to give it to the people and
put [the responsibility] on the
supervisors.”
He noted some of the sessions
officers attend may provide one or
more meals during a day.
“You have to deduct that and
that’s fair,” he said. “But, some
people in some departments who
survive week to week have to go
eat crackers that day because they
can’t afford to put their money out
front is ridiculous.”
Lawson said that was the practice until a few years ago when the
county changed its policies.
“They said the comptroller’s
office would write us up because
we weren’t following county policy.
I say we need to look at changing
county policy,” Lawson said. “I
think it’s the right thing to do for
those folks.”
He said it would be mandatory
for a 14-day notice prior to any
trip involving per diem expenses.
Watson emphasized there was
no extra funding being requested
for travel.
The committee referenced the
matter to the Handbook
Committee, which is currently in
the process of updating the county’s employee policies.
Committee members also discussed the possibility of selling ecigarettes through the jail commissary.
Capt. Gabe Thomas of the
Corrections and Judicial Services
said the ones being sought to be
sold are specially designed for
inmates and could not be used as
any sort of threatening weapon.
The county currently has a policy which forbids any smoking,
including the use of e-cigarettes,
in county buildings.
That policy would prevent the
e-cigarette use at the Justice
Center.
The sheriff said their use would
be restricted to certain areas.
“Our projection is with our jail
population we could make
$96,000 to $120,000 a year
through those sales,” Watson said.
Thomas said allowing inmates
Prayer
From Page 1
Ray said the theme was taken
from 1Kings 8:28, which says, “Yet
give attention to your servant’s
prayer and his plea for mercy,
LORD my God. Hear the cry and
the prayer that your servant is
praying in your presence this day
(NIV).”
Prayers will be offered for those
in the “seven mountains of culture”: government, military,
media, education, business,
church and family. One person
representing each of the mountains will lead in prayer for the
sphere of influence in which they
live or work.
The seven mountains refer to
seven groups or areas of influence
every culture has.
She said she wanted to participate in the planning this year
because she saw “the need for
prayer for our nation.”
“We have to be willing to take
that step to pray, to call out to Him,
to ask for His guidance,” Ray said.
Pastor Jamie Work of Candies
Creek Church will offer a short

theft, vandalism and crimes
against property.
There have also been 56 violent
crimes against persons charges,
36 drug related charges, and 21
runaways.
Some 76 percent of the youth
facing charges in 2015 come from
single parent homes or lived with
relatives other than their biological
parents, foster care, group homes
and other non-traditional living
arrangements.
The group that committed the
largest number of these crimes has
been white males.
In 2014 and 2015, white or caucasian males were accused of committing 53 and 51 percent of the
offenses reported respectively.
The second largest demographic
was White or Caucasian females
and they faced 30 and 33 percent
of the charges in 2014 and 2015
respectively.
African-American males came in
a distant third, having appeared in
court on 4.9 and 4.7 percent of the
charges filed in 2014 and 2015
respectively.
All other race and ethnic groups
including Hispanic, Asians, mixed
race and Native Americans, both
male and female combined,
accounted for 7 percent of the
charges filed in 2014 and 6.9 percent of the charges filed so far in
2015, while African-American
females accounted for 3 percent of
the filed charges in both statistical
periods.

COmmUNiTY BLOCK Grant co-ordinator Teresa Torbit and Legal Aid of East Tennessee attorney
Bryan Frye listen as Dustin Tommey of Impact Cleveland opens the Tenants’ Rights Workshop. The
event served as an informational session designed to educate renters on their rights and responsibilities
as tenants.
Tenants’
From Page 1
The clarifications in theory
provides renters a better means
of defending themselves against
unlawful evictions, housing discrimination, and landlords who
refuse to properly maintain their
properties.
Among some of the essential
rights that a tenant needs to be
aware are as follows:
n A landlord must give you
exclusive possession of the property you rent.
n A landlord cannot turn off
your utilities while you are living
in the house or apartment you
rent.
n A landlord cannot lock you
out of the rental property or
remove your belongings from the
property, without first getting a
court order.
n A landlord cannot come into
the rental property without giving you advanced notice, unless
there is an emergency.
n If a landlord refuses to make
repairs, the tenant can break the
lease and can sue the landlord
for damages caused by the landlord’s refusal to make repairs
(with 14 days written notice).
n If a landlord fails to provide
essential services, the tenant can
get a court order requiring the
landlord to make those services
available. The tenant can also
buy substitute services and
deduct the cost from the rent.
n If a landlord deliberately
locks the tenant out of the rental
property or turns off utility service, the tenant can get a court
order requiring the landlord to
turn the utilities on or let the
tenant in. The tenant can break
the lease and move with 14 days
notice.
n If the rental property is
damaged by fire or storm so that
the tenant can no longer live
there, the tenant may move out
immediately (with 14 days written notice).
n These rights apply even of
you live in public housing or
receive Section 8 rental assistance.
Frye also urged tenants to be
responsible renters by paying
their rent on time and keeping
track of payments made by holding on to receipts and checks
that have been written.
Not paying rent on time, damaging property, applying for utilities services within in 3 days,
and not carefully reading and following the terms of the lease are
all ways in which a landlord can
be empowered to begin the eviction process.
Frye also advised on how to
begin a case in Sessions Court,
including how to be prepared to
face the judge, court costs, and
finding and retaining legal services.
After hearing a lot of people
talk about having difficulties
with the legal process as tenants,
we felt like could help address a
need,” Tommey said.
“We want to empower them
and to be able to know what to do
if they are being taken advantage
of, but at the same time we are
acknowledging that it’s not
always the landlords fault. There
are rights that the tenants have,
but there are responsibilities that
they have as well.”
Tommey explained that this is
an issue that he hears about
often in Cleveland and offered
some ideas on how to find solution in the future.
“There’s making the connection between these services and
the people that need them and
that’s what I would call bottom
up or grassroots advocacy or
grassroots
empowerment,”
Tommey said. “But then there
are policies or ordinances, that if
they’re ever going to be changed
to be tougher on landlords, are
going to have to be changed from
the top down. That’s beyond
what we’re able to do as an
organization”
“That in the communities that
we serve don’t have people who
are living in substandard houses
and that have leases and those
are measurable differences that
we can make in the future,” he
said.
The Legal Aid of East
Tennessee Cleveland office is
located at 166 North Ocoee
Street and is open Monday,
Tuesday and Friday from 8:30
a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information on tenants’ rights or for help

meeting will also be in the board
room, and may be the final time
for the board to be with graduating seniors.
There will be another issue
during the regular meeting
involving a graduating senior.
Student liaison Reed Calfee will
be bringing his final update to
the board for the 2014-15
school year.
Board members will also consider approval of next year’s
student liaison Mariah Voytik.
There is a moderately active
agenda for Monday’s meeting.
Architect Brian Templeton of
the Upland Design Group will be
attending to provide the board
with an update on gymnasium,
and fitness/workout center.
The report should be more
positive than in months past,
with walls up and the weather
improving.
Several end-of-year type discussions are scheduled Monday.
The school board will recognized the Cleveland High School
wrestling team, specifically AllAmerica selection Chris DeBien.
Board members will also welcome Keep America Beautiful
(KAB) Director Joanne Maskew,
who will introduce the organization’s essay winner for this year.
In other action, the board will
consider approval of overnight
field trips, policy changes on
vacations and holidays, facility
use for Cleveland State
Community College and the
Tennessee College of Applied
Technology, and child nutrition
bid award and bid renewal recommendations.
Board Chairman Tom Cloud
and Director of Schools Dr.
Martin Ringstaff will provide
their monthly updates, and
Principal Randy Stephens will
introduced Stuart School’s
Employees of the Month.
Administrator Jeff Elliott and
board member Charlie Cogdill
will discuss policy on compulsory attendance.
Director Ringstaff will have an
alternative education proposal,
and Susan Mobley will discuss
the Community Eligibility
Program.
Dr. Murl Dirksen, chair of the
board’s Site Committee, will discuss a recent meeting where
Maintenance Supervisor Hal
Taylor provided lists of ongoing
capital projects, projected projects over the next five years, and
a “wish list” from every school
and the transportation and
maintenance departments.
Dirksen will also discuss pro-
posed changes to the Teen
Learning Center field, and Dawn
Robinson will bring her fellow
board members up to date on
happenings with the legislature
in Nashville.
that choice can also be part of a
safety factor.
“When you deny smokers that
ability, they do get on edge.
Whatever we can do to keep that
edge off is worth it,” Thomas said.
Watson said there would be
“strict policies” in place to regulate
their use.
The committee will present the
proposal to the full County
Commission to consider at its next
work session.
Watson asked about changing
another policy which prohibits the
use of a department credit card to
travel expenses only saying it prevents the ability to save money
where online shopping for certain
items is available.
“The world of Internet sales is
changing. We ordered some fencing from walmart.com a few weeks
ago. They do not accept a purchase order and they do not
accept a check,” Watson said. “The
only form of payment is a credit
card.”
He noted there are many
instances where the department
could have been saving hundreds
of dollars if not more by having the
online purchasing avenue open for
the department.
The sheriff said he has been
using his personal credit card and
being reimbursed by the county in
order to take advantage of lower
costs.
“I can’t keep doing that forever,”
Watson said.
He said using the credit card is
something the department does
not abuse.
BCSO Director of Support
Services Richard McAllister said
there are many other companies
online who will not accept purchase orders.
“There are local companies here
who, unless it exceeds $500, will
not accept purchase orders,”
McAllister said. “If we need to buy
an item for $70, it puts us in a
spot.”
Watson said there was a situation during a crime scene where
the department went to a local
eatery to purchase meals for the
officers.
“Sometimes they’ll say yes and
sometimes they’ll say no about
paying later,” Watson said. “We’re
not intentionally violating any policy, but there are sometimes you
have to use that credit card. We
don’t intentionally want to violate
any policies.”
The sheriff said there are only
two people currently authorized to
use the current department card.
“We had to order an engine two
months ago. We saved $400 by
ordering the engine online,”
Watson said. “But, they would not
accept a purchase order or a
check. I was going to use my personal credit card to order it, but I
decided I wasn’t going to do that
anymore. We saved $410 on that
engine.”
That issue was also sent to the
Handbook Committee for further
consideration.
Watson’s request to purchase
portable defibrillators for the
Justice Center was sent for discussion by the full County
Commission.
NYPD officer shot; search
continues for suspects
NEW YORK (AP) — An on-duty
New York City police officer was
shot and critically injured
Saturday evening and a search
was underway for possible suspects, police said.
Dozens of police officers,
marked and unmarked cars,
emergency service unit trucks and
police helicopters flooded the
scene in the Queens Village neighborhood, and officers could be
seen searching house-by-house,
looking in backyards, under cars
and walking on top of roofs with
their flashlights.
It wasn’t immediately clear how
the officer, who was not immediately identified, was rushed to
Jamaica Hospital Medical Center
in Queens. An ambulance called
to the scene at 6:15 p.m. Saturday
arrived to a report of the shooting,
but the officer had already been
rushed to the hospital, a fire
department spokesman said.
Hawkins’ physical handwritten
signature does not appear on the
letter.
Maney told the Cleveland Daily
Banner late Friday he was in fact
not in LaVergne and was indeed
with the in-service training with
BCSO.
“I took that test here in Bradley
County,” Maney said.
“I can verify every certification I
have,” Maney stressed. “Some of
those certifications are actually
not required for this position. But,
I can verify my certifications.”
Maney said once he was made
aware of the allegations, he contacted state officials.
“They said they had not received
it at the time. I have not heard
back from them,” he said.
Maney said he has spoken to
Bradley County Mayor D. Gary
Davis about the accusations.
Davis released a statement
acknowledging the complaint had
been sent.
"The Firefighting Commission
will investigate this matter and
the Mayor's Office will continue
to monitor the status of the
investigation,” Davis said. “Any
employment decisions related to
Chief Maney will be based upon
the results of the investigation
by the Firefighting Commission
and any additional information
that is obtained by the Mayor's
Office prior to the official determination made by the state.”
The Firefighting Standards and
Education Commission is expected to hear the matter sometime in
August.

“We have no concrete proof that
[Goss] is involved other than the
fact that he was seen by others at
some of the tests given by Terry
Priest in which Troy Maney was to
have tested,” the letter reads.
Hawkins’ letter requests all of
the paperwork concerning
Maney’s certifications be sent to
Hawkins’
personal

“We are putting ourselves in a

Journal-Register via AP
On 150th anniversary, Lincoln’s
hometown re-enacts funeral
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — At
Abraham
Lincoln’s
death,
Secretary of War Edwin Stanton
declared, “Now he belongs to the
ages,” but the meticulous, 150th
anniversary funeral procession
his hometown presented Saturday
proved how profoundly the prairie
city still considers the slain president its own.
Thousands of people, including
many in period costume, gathered
at the Old State Capitol, where the
16th president lay in state, to pay
tribute to the simple, country
lawyer who saved the Union and
thrust the nation toward abolishing slavery.
Ranks of soldiers in Union
blues and pallbearers, including
several direct descendants of
those who accompanied Lincoln’s
casket in 1865, retraced the route
from a downtown train station in
a replica hearse to the old capitol
square, where it rested on a
catafalque during opening ceremonies.
Drums pounded out a funeral
march and many of the 1,250
Civil War re-enactors strode by
while a costumed chorus sang the
“Star-Spangled Banner,” and a
man in a top hat with a black
mourning sash trailing from it ran
kid gloves over the coffin in preparation of a bouquet of flowers.
At the Old State Capitol, where
Lincoln served in the Legislature
and in 1858 riveted a deteriorating union with his “House
Divided” speech, Illinois Gov.
Bruce Rauner opened the weekend’s activities, declaring that
Lincoln returned to Springfield a
hero for saving the nation and setting its future course.
“His legacy has withstood the
test of 150 years, and our love for
him has only grown stronger,” the
Republican said.
The re-enactment brought
onlookers from far and wide,
including many men donning top
hats and women in hoop skirts
carrying parasols. Even a centuryand-a-half later, some felt compelled to attend.
“Lincoln is a magnet to draw all
types of people together for the
common good, and we need some
common good in our country with
all the upheaval lately,” said Bob
Churchill, of Riverton, referring to
the unrest over police shootings
around the nation.
It was a natural place to be for
Noah Vaughn, a Springfield native
steeped in Lincoln from childhood
visits to the Civil War battlefield at
Gettysburg National Park and
Ford’s Theater in Washington,
D.C. where Lincoln was fatally
shot.
“Lincoln is just a big part of our
lives,” said Vaughn, who was at
the train station with his wife,
Megan, and daughters Klaire, 8,
and Kennedy, 5. “This is about his
legacy and honoring everything he
meant to our country and what he
means to Springfield.”
The nation lost a leader, while
in Springfield, Bishop Thomas
Paprocki of the Catholic Diocese of
Springfield said in his openingceremony invocation, residents
grieved for “not only an esteemed
and respected statesman, but
their beloved friend and neighbor.”
The period pageantry was juxtaposed with bottled-water sales,
onlookers sipping gourmet coffee,
and a sea of camera phones
stretched above heads to catch
glimpses of the action. Before presenting to Rauner a ceremonial
coin his country minted for the
occasion, Paolo Rondelli, ambassador from San Marino to the
U.S., even turned his camera
phone on the throng to send home
to the southern European country.
The Great Emancipator’s
hometown has a checkered history on race. A 1908 race riot
spawned the birth of the NAACP,
the nation’s oldest civil-rights
organization and, 99 years later,
on this same capitol square,
another little-known former state
legislator,
Barack
Obama,
announced his intention to
become the nation’s first black
president.
Lincoln
scholar
Michael
Burlingame noted in his keynote
address that on April 11, 1865,
two days after the Confederate
surrender, John Wilkes Booth
made up his mind to kill Lincoln
after he heard the president say
blacks should have at least limited
voting rights.
As much as Martin Luther King
and others who were slain during
the 1960s push for equality,
Burlingame said, “It is appropriate
for us in the 21st Century to
regard Abraham Lincoln as a
martyr to black civil rights.”
ATLANTA (AP) — A woman in
police custody who was killed
by officers in downtown Atlanta
had escaped from her handcuffs
and fired gunshots at the officers from a patrol car’s backseat, police said Friday.
Police Chief George Turner
said
26-year-old
Alexia
Christian had apparently found
the .380-caliber Taurus handgun inside a stolen truck, and it
wasn’t immediately clear why
the officers didn’t discover the
gun when they took her into
custody.
Christian had been arrested
seven times by the Atlanta
Police Department and had
escaped from handcuffs once
before, Turner said during a
news conference. Fulton County
Jail records also show Christian
has also been arrested by the
county sheriff’s office and police
in East Point, an Atlanta suburb.
Officers Omar Thyme and
Jeffery Cook were investigating
a stolen vehicle call Thursday
when they saw a woman inside
the vehicle in a parking deck
near Underground Atlanta.
Police said the vehicle was
equipped with a tracking device.
Christian’s hands were cuffed
behind her back when she was
put into the patrol car. It’s
unclear how Christian was able
to free one of her hands from
the cuffs.
The shooting happened after
the woman was walked out of
the parking deck and was put
into the patrol car, authorities
said. The department is investigating whether any policies
were violated, Turner said.
“It was clear to us that the
officers did not search her prior
to putting her in the back of the
car,” Turner said.
Authorities are investigating
whether Christian had been
patted down before being put in
the car, Department spokesman
Greg Lyon said. Department
policy allows male officers to
pat female suspects down by
using the backs of their hands
in the presence of witnesses.
Officers who are the same sex
as the suspect are supposed to
conduct a thorough search
before the suspect is transported from one place to another,
Turner said.
“This happened so quickly
the officers, I do not believe,
had a chance enough to call for
a female officer, but all that’s
part of the investigation,”
Turner said.
Christian was able to fire
three shots while the officers
were sitting in the front seats,
Turner said. The officers
jumped out of the patrol car
fired 10 rounds, Turner said.
Neither officer was hit by
Christian’s shots, he said.
“Both of these officers missed
being killed by an inch,” Deputy
Chief Darryl Tolleson said.
Christian was critically wounded and later died at Grady
Memorial Hospital.
Cook, 53, is an 18-year veteran and Thyme, 33, has been
with the department for 10
months, Turner said.
The officers are expected to
give statements early next week.
The timeline is in accordance
with best practices established
by
The
International
Association of Chiefs of Police,
Turner said. Both the officers
are black, as was Christian.
The patrol car was equipped
with a camera on the front and
back, but Turner said the rear
camera only operates when the
vehicle is in motion.
Both officers are on administrative leave while the investigation continues, department
spokesman Greg Lyon said.

May Day demonstrators clash with police in Pacific Northwest
SEATTLE
(AP)
—
Demonstrators clashed with
police in two cities in the Pacific
Northwest late Friday after earlier
May Day marches in support of
more rights for workers and immigrants and an end to police brutality.
In Seattle, police said blackclad marchers threw wrenches,
sticks and rocks at officers in the
city’s Capitol Hill neighborhood
Friday evening, injuring three officers, two of them seriously. Police
responded with pepper spray and
pepper balls and arrested a half
dozen people. Several dozen vehicles were damaged, police said.
“This is no longer demonstration management, this has turned
into a riot,” said Capt. Chris
Fowler, who was overseeing police
response to May Day activities in
the city.
Mayor Ed Murray said police
would work to protect people and
property “and will make arrests
when necessary.”
A daytime worker and immigrant rights rally that drew hundreds of people in Seattle was
peaceful, but tensions flared during the evening event, which was
billed as an anti-capitalist march.
In Portland, Oregon, authorities
said an unruly crowd hurled projectiles and chairs at officers
Friday evening. Police there temporarily closed a major bridge over
the Willamette River during the
height of the evening commute
and pepper sprayed some demonstrators when a May Day march
deviated from its permitted route
through downtown.
Police said one officer was
assaulted and was taken to a
precinct for medical treatment.
Marches held in cities from
Minneapolis
to
Oakland,
California, drew crowds ranging
from a few dozens to hundreds of
people, but they were largely
peaceful.
In Denver, two dozen protesters
railed against economic inequality, while about 1,000 marched in
New York at an event that also
decried police abuse in the wake
of the in-custody death of Freddie
Gray in Baltimore. In Austin,
Texas, about 200 marchers railing
against police brutality closed a
downtown bridge with their numbers, but police blocked them
from marching onto a freeway.
In Chicago, about 400 people
marched, some to protest recent
police incidents and some to recognize May Day’s message of
workers’ rights.
Richard Malmin, a 73-year-old
activist, said he participates every
year but this rally was bigger due
to the death of Gray, whose spine
was severed while in Baltimore
police custody last month. On
Friday, six police officers were
charged in his death.
“This is a turning point, a
tremendous turning point that
shows finally the country is waking up,” Malmin said. “This is a
first, really.”
While labor unions have long
led
demonstrations
on
International Workers’ Day, the
May 1 marches got a boost in
2006 when stringent immigration
legislation drove hundreds of
thousands of demonstrators to
rally in the streets. Since then,
attendance at the annual rallies
has been much smaller.
Some labor and immigrant
advocates broadened their message this year to also address
police brutality, joining a series of
protests underway in several
cities over Gray’s death.
In Minneapolis, the group
Black Lives Matter encouraged
students to leave school on
Friday, and some high school students did. They staged a die-in
that briefly stopped traffic.
More than 1,000 people demonstrated in Oakland, California,
with some holding signs saying
“Racism is the Disease” and “Stop
Police Brutality.” Others said they
wanted better wages and working
conditions for the masses.
In Los Angeles, a few hundred
gathered to encourage the implementation of President Obama’s
program to protect millions of
immigrants in the country illegally
from deportation. They also called
for a raise to minimum wage.

Baltimore City Hall, Saturday in Baltimore. Six police officers were charged Friday with felonies ranging
from assault to murder in Gray’s death. In announcing the charges, State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby said
police had no reason to stop or chase Gray in the first place when they confronted him on April 12. He
died of injuries on April 19.
‘No justice, no peace, no racist
police’ chants in Baltimore
BALTIMORE (AP) — Chants of
“no justice, no peace, no racist
police” echoed through the
streets of Baltimore Saturday
during a march that organizers
billed as a “victory rally” a day
after a prosecutor charged six
officers involved in the arrest of
a man who died in police custody.
State’s Attorney Marilyn
Mosby on Friday charged the six
with felonies ranging from
assault to murder in the death
of Freddie Gray. He died from
spinal injuries a week after his
April 12 arrest. It provoked riots
on the streets of West Baltimore
and quickly became a rallying
cry against police brutality and
social inequality in the city and
elsewhere.
The planned march was to be
a mass protest of Gray’s d treatment by police, but after
Mosby’s announcement, the
tone had changed to more celebratory.
Shortly after noon at Gilmor
Homes, a group of demonstrators, both black and white,
young and older, congregated.
“Are you ready to march for
justice?” Kwame Rose, 20, of
Baltimore, said. The crowded
chanted, “Yes.”
“Are you all ready to march
for peace?” Rose asked. “Yeah,”
the group answered.
Black Lawyers for Justice was
expecting at least 10,000 people
to show up downtown. Smaller
groups of what looked to be several hundred gathered all
around Baltimore and made
their way through the streets to
join the thousands at the main
rally at City Hall.
They carried homemade
signs, calling for peace, as well
as printed ones asking for justice. Others wore T-shirts that
read, “Black Lives Matter.”
Rashid Wiggins of Upton was
selling $10 shirts with the slogan, with “I matter” in red.
He said it surprised him that
charges were filed quickly and
that he hopes it sends a message to other officers to ensure
that when someone in police
custody asks for medical help,
they get it.
“If you are not coming
in peace, please don’t
come at all.”
— Robert Shipley
stepfather of
Freddie Gray
“I just want them to be a little
more careful,” he said.
Near a CVS store that was
looted and burned earlier in the
week, groups of policemen stood
on corners and a police helicopter flew overhead. Some officers
twirled wooden batons idly.
Someone had used chalk to
draw a peace sign and write
“Freddie Gray” on the brick face
of the store. Hearts and dollar
signs had been drawn on the
store’s boarded up windows.
Chrystal Miller, 47, and Linda
Moore, 63, were joining the
rally. Moore brought a sign that
said “The Dream Still Lives,” a
reference to the Rev. Martin
Luther King’s “I Have a Dream”
civil rights speech.
Miller, who was pushing her
1-year-old son in a stroller, said
she hoped the march would be
peaceful. And Moore said she
believed it would be because of
the charges.
Still, Miller said the story isn’t
over.
“It’s going to be a long road,”
she said, adding that the officers still need to go to court and
she wasn’t sure they’d wind up
with jail time as she hoped.
“Nothing is going to happen
overnight.”
Mosby said that after reviewing the results of a police investigation turned over to her just
one day before, she had concluded Gray’s arrest was illegal
and unjustified. She said his
neck was broken because he
was handcuffed, shackled and
placed head-first into a police
van, where his pleas for medical
attention
were
repeatedly
ignored as he bounced around
inside a small metal compartment in the vehicle.
The officers missed five
opportunities to help the injured
and falsely imprisoned detainee
before he arrived at the police
station no longer breathing,
Mosby said.
The police had no reason to
stop or chase after Gray, she
said. They falsely accused him
of having an illegal switchblade
when it was a legal pocketknife,
and failed to strap him down
with a seat belt, a direct violation of department policy, she
said.
The six officers were scheduled to appear publicly in court
for the first time at the end of
the month. A lawyer hired by
the police union insisted the
officers did nothing wrong.
Michael Davey said Mosby has
committed “an egregious rush to
judgment.”
Others saw Gray’s arrest and
death as a reflection of
Baltimore’s broad social and
economic problems and the
announcement of charges
prompted celebrations in the
streets Friday.
Walter Dorsett and Kasey Lee,
both 18 of North East,
Maryland, joined the crowd outside City Hall Saturday. Dorsett
carried a sign that read,
“Having a badge should not
exclude you from the law.”
Dorsett said the charges
seemed accurate, though, “it
doesn’t mean they’re going to be
found guilty, but it’s a start.”
Gray’s stepfather, Robert
Shipley, said the family charges
were “an important first step”
and reiterated a plea to keep all
public demonstrations peaceful.
“If you are not coming in
peace, please don’t come at all,”
he said.
The family lawyer, Billy
Murphy, said Baltimore now
has an opportunity to set an
example for cities across the
nation grappling with police
brutality.
“The people of Philadelphia,
New York, Cincinnati, and in
numerous cities and towns are
expressing their outrage that
there are too many Freddie
Grays,” Murphy said. “If Freddie
Gray is not to die in vain, we
must seize this opportunity to
reform police departments
throughout this country.”
Richard Pryor statue to stand in Illinois hometown
PEORIA, Ill. (AP) — A yearslong
effort to honor comedian Richard
Pryor with a statue in Peoria is
coming to a conclusion and
prompting some residents of his
hometown to re-examine the
comic and his legacy.
Sculptor Preston Jackson will
unveil the 9-foot bronze statue
Sunday in the city’s Warehouse
District at the corner of
Washington and State Streets.
For nearly nine years, Jackson
has dedicated himself to seeing
the statue stand in Peoria, the city
where the comedian and actor
was born and raised that’s 125
miles southwest of Chicago. Pryor
died in 2005.
Along the way he’s faced challenges coming up with the money.
He’s also had to overcome hesitancy from some in Peoria who
objected to honoring an entertainer who abused drugs and was
known for foul-mouthed humor.
Jackson, himself, wrestled with
that concern, but said he came to
believe that Pryor’s art overshadowed his personal failings.
“If a human being doesn’t have
any comfort and love, they will
turn bad, and I began to understand his life,” Jackson told the
(Peoria)

Star

Pryor had a difficult upbringing
and was one of four children raised
in his grandmother’s brothel.
TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — A nearly yearlong investigation into the
2013 lane George Washington
Bridge Lane closures resulted in
two indictments and a guilty plea
— and New Jersey taxpayers
have already footed some of the
bill.
U.S. Attorney Paul Fishman
announced Friday that former
Port Authority official David
Wildstein pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges while one-time
Port Authority executive Bill
Baroni and a former deputy chief
of staff to Gov. Chris Christie,
Bridget Kelly, have also been
indicted.
While the charges are new, the
public relations battle over what
Christie knew and when he knew
has raged for more than a year,
with lawyers’ fees accumulating
at the same time.
—NEW JERSEY PAYS
Residents have paid about $10
million in legal costs related to
the closure, according to an AP
review of documents from the
Legislature and the Department
of Law and Public Safety.
The largest share — about
$7.3 million — went for the governor’s outside counsel, the law
firm Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher,
which produced a report that
cleared the governor of a connection to the politically motivated
lane closure. But the Democratled Legislature has also racked
up some $1 million in legal fees.
The state also accrued costs
for outside legal counsel used to
represent
state
employees
involved in the probe. Mark
Sokolich, the mayor of Fort Lee,
whose town was ensnarled in
traffic and who was the target of
the political retribution scheme,
says the borough’s legal fees
have topped $200,000.
—FEDERAL DOLLARS?
It’s unclear exactly how much
federal cash has gone into the
probe. Fishman said his office
does not track how much the
investigation costs, but added
that every investigation is different and has requires differing
amounts of resources. “It has
been my policy for the five and a
half years I have been U.S. attorney to make sure that every

investigation, no matter how
large or how small or how high
profile or how under the radar,
gets exactly the resources that it
needs to make sure that when we
are done we can say proudly and
fairly that we have done the best
job that we can,” he said.
—RESOURCE DRAIN
The indictment charges that
Kelly and Baroni used Port
Authority property worth at least
$5,000 as part of the scheme to
exact political payback. The documents do not estimate the
worth of using the Port
Authority’s resources, but they
allege Kelly, Baroni and Wildstein
ordered engineering reports as
part of a cover story about a traffic study to divert lanes on the
George Washington Bridge, one
of the busiest in the world.
—POLITICAL PRICE TAG
As Christie weighs a White
House bid, some political
observers say the financial cost
of investigating the scandal probably won’t have much of an effect
on voters’ opinions.
“It’s probably not a very big
deal in the grand scheme of
things,” said Fairleigh Dickinson
University political science pro-
fessor Peter Woolley. “People
have a picture of what happened
... and the picture is already
worth many thousands of words,
maybe 10 million.”
Seton Hall University political
science professor Matthew Hale
said many people already have
firm opinions on the scandal and
the cost isn’t likely to anger them
further.
“Most people in New Jersey
just throw up their hands on the
amount of money that gets spent
on crazy stuff,” he said. “It’s not
new.”

Ellis Island expands
its story of U.S.
immigration history
NEW YORK (AP) — Not all of
the stories at Ellis Island’s
immigration museum are about
someone’s great-grandfather
arriving as a boy from Europe
at the start of the 20th century.
With the unveiling of a new
exhibition next month, Ellis
Island is telling stories of immigrants who have come as
recently as the start of this century, decades after the last
arrival was processed through
its doors. Combined with a section that opened in 2011 looking at immigration to America
pre-Ellis Island, the museum is
taking on a broader mission of
showcasing the country’s entire
migration history, not just the
time it was open from 1892 to
1954.
“It makes the museum continue to be important, relevant,” said Stephen Briganti,
president and CEO of the
Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island
Foundation. “Why stop in
1954? There’s a whole new
group of people. What about
their stories?”
The new section of the
Peopling of Americas galleries
opening May 20 looks at what
motivated people to come here,
such as war and unrest at
home or wanting to join family;
modes of travel; and where in
the United States people of certain ethnic backgrounds have
settled.
“We wanted to talk about the
fact that people have always
been on the move,” said Edwin
Schlossberg of ESI Design,
which designed the space.
The entire $20 million project
has been several years in the
making and was interrupted by
Superstorm Sandy, which
flooded the basement of the
museum and destroyed infrastructure systems but left the
collection unharmed. Ellis
Island was closed to the public
and didn’t reopen until October
2013.
The new exhibition is heavily
interactive, and visual, with
video snippets from immigrants
telling their stories. Most are
everyday people, such as the
Bosnian woman talking about
how she came here after strife
in her homeland, but there are
also some well-known names,
such as movie director Ang Lee,
who was born in Taiwan and
came to the U.S. as a young
man. In a section about the
process of becoming a citizen,
visitors can try answering the

types of American history questions an immigrant seeking to
become naturalized would face.
The exhibition doesn’t shy
away from the issues surrounding migration — there’s a section on nativist sentiment, as
well as another on illegal immigration. The same can be seen
in the pre-Ellis Island section,
which talk about those who
were brought here unwillingly,
whether slave or indentured
servant, as well as those who
were forced to move, such as
Native Americans.
“Our goal is to show how people got to this country, and
what they did when they got
here,” Briganti said.
The museum is also taking
on a new name to match: It’s
going from the Ellis Island
Immigration Museum to the
Ellis Island National Museum of
Immigration.
Ellis island “is symbolic of
arrival, of welcome, the oppor-
tunity for a new life,” Briganti
said. “All those things add into
the importance of Ellis Island
as a symbol and a place to tell
the story.”

CLEVELAND (AP) — A judge
could consider lesser charges
against a policeman for his role in
the fatal shootings of two
unarmed people in a car in a 137shot barrage of police gunfire,
according to a motion filed Friday
by prosecutors, who insisted
they’ve proved their case.
Testimony in the bench trial of
patrolman Michael Brelo concluded Thursday. Brelo is charged
with two counts of voluntary
manslaughter in the fatal shootings of driver Timothy Russell and
passenger Malissa Williams on
Nov. 29, 2012, after a high-speed
chase.
Thirteen officers fired at the car
in a school parking lot that night,
but only Brelo was charged criminally because prosecutors said he
fired his final 15 shots after the
car had stopped and Russell and
Williams no longer were a threat to
officers’ lives.
The prosecutors’ motion was
filed in response to an attempt by
Brelo’s attorneys to have the judge
who’s deciding the case dismiss
the charges. Cuyahoga County
Common Pleas Judge John P.
O’Donnell said Friday in court
that he would render his verdict
within the next several weeks.
"
Bird flu virus raises
questions scientists
working to answer
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — It’s
been five months since the H5N2
bird flu virus was discovered in
the United States, and producers
have lost 21 million birds in the
Midwest alone. Yet, researchers
acknowledge they still know little
about a bird flu virus that’s
endangered turkey and egg-laying chicken populations that
supply much of the nation.
Scientists at the U.S.
Department of Agriculture, the
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention and other federal
agencies are puzzled by the H5N2
virus’ spread — even amid
heightened biosecurity measures
— and apparent lack of widespread deaths in largely unprotected backyard flocks.
“At this point, we don’t know
very much about these viruses
because they’ve only recently
been identified,” Dr. Alicia Fry,
the CDC’s leader of the influenza
prevention and control team,
said. “We’re following the situation very closely because this is
something we’re continuing to
understand.”
The current H5N2 virus surfaced last winter in Canada and
was first identified in the United
States in early December, when it
was found in a wild bird on the
West Coast. This spring, the virus
was found in poultry operations
in eight Midwest states, forcing
commercial producers to kill and
compost millions of turkeys and
chickens in Iowa, Minnesota and
elsewhere.
Scientists speculate that perhaps rodents or small birds,
seeking food, tracked the virus
into barns. Maybe it’s the work of
flies, as the bird flu virus has
been found on the insects in a
Pennsylvania outbreak in 1983
and in Japan in 2004. The
USDA’s chief veterinarian even
floated the idea last week wind
may be blowing dust and feathers carrying the virus from the
barnyard into buildings through
air vents.
“To me, the main concern is
the disease is moving even with
heightened biosecurity,” said
Richard French, a professor of
animal health at Becker College
in Worcester, Massachusetts.
“Ideally we’ve got to try and figure
out the way it’s most likely moving and try to put controls in
place to stop that.”
Poultry farms’ biosecurity
measures include changing
clothes and boots before entering
barns, disinfecting equipment
and vehicles before they
approach the barns and assigning workers to specific barns.
As new operations are infected
almost daily, USDA epidemiologists also are trying to determine
whether the virus came from a
wild bird or could have spread
from poultry in another barn or a
nearby farm.
“We are continuing to evaluate
how facilities become positive
because we also want to be cognizant of any potential risk of lateral spread from farm to farm,”
said Dr. T.J. Myers, the USDA
associate deputy administrator of
veterinary services. “We are doing
those evaluations as we speak
and we really don’t have enough
data to report on that yet.”
Another puzzling question has
been why there hasn’t been a
surge in infections of backyard
flocks. The USDA has identified
12 cases including five in
Washington in January and
February, plus others in Idaho,
Kansas, Minnesota, Montana,
Oregon and Wisconsin.
Cases might not be reported,
French said, noting that commercial operations have a financial incentive to immediately
report illnesses because the government pays them for each live
bird that must be destroyed.
Plus, French said, outdoor chickens could have been exposed over
time to low pathogenic versions
of bird flu and have developed
stronger immunity.
One belief held by researchers
will soon be tested: whether the
virus will die as temperatures
warm up and ultraviolet light
increases. With temperatures
this week in the 70s in many of
the affected states and even
warmer weather expected soon,
infections should decline if that
assumption is true.
But David Swayne, director of
the Southeast Poultry Research
Laboratory in Athens, Georgia,
acknowledged it’s hard to predict
what will happen.
“It’s pretty complex. It involves
the climate, the temperature
itself, the amount of humidity
there,” he said.

Cleveland Daily Banner—Sunday, May 3, 2015—13
Juice would be spilled: Imagining 2 Floridas, South & North
River County, which would be
part of this new South Florida
state, passed their own tonguein-cheek resolution opposing
secession. Many Indian River
residents think they’ve already
escaped from the problems to
the south, it said, and they
“may well be traumatized by
becoming part of a state of
South Florida.”
Secession is a highly unlikely
scenario, since it would need
approval by the U.S. Congress
and Florida voters.
But The Associated Press took
a look at the idea anyway,
crunching some numbers to see
what South and North would
look like if Florida were to be
carved in two along the proposed
east-west border, running from
just above Tampa Bay and
Orlando to Cape Canaveral.
If South Florida seceded, how
would it compare to what’s left of
the state?
TWICE AS BIG
With 13.1 million residents,
South Florida would have twice
as many people as north of the
border, and still rank by itself as
the fourth most populous state in
the United States. A unified
Florida currently is No. 3, behind
California and Texas.
STILL FAITHFUL
North of the line, there would
be twice as many churches per
capita. South of the line, there
would be seven times as many as
AP Photo synagogues.
In thIs fIle Photo, oranges ripen on a tree in a grove in
MORE DIVERSE

bol, the orange, if South Florida seceded since the state would be left every 4 people would be nonwithout most of its citrus groves. More than 90 percent of Florida’s Hispanic white, compared to
around half in South Florida.
citrus groves would go with South Florida.
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Some
South Florida politicians say
they’ve been ignored long enough
by state leaders in North Florida.
Now they want their own state.
The South Miami City
Commission is urging the creation of a new state of “South
Florida.” It’s a symbolic resolution, aimed at showing leaders
in Florida’s current capital of
Tallahassee that they’re not
doing enough to address concerns about rising sea levels at
the southern end of the Florida
peninsula.
“Everybody who lives in
Florida knows the northern part
of Florida is really a southern
state and the southern part of
Florida is the economic and
social capital of the Caribbean
and Latin America,” said South
Miami Mayor Philip Stoddard.
“So it really feels like two different states.”
Not everyone is sold on the
idea. Commissioners in Indian
Hispanics would make up almost
30 percent of South Florida’s population, more than three times
their share up north. Both sides
would have roughly the same
share of black residents — about
15 to 16 percent — and Asians —
2.5 percent.
OLDER
North Floridians would have a
median age about two years
younger than South Florida’s
median age of 43.3.
WEALTHIER
The money is in South Florida,
where
average
household
incomes are about 12 percent
higher than north of the border
— $63,352 versus $56,544.
Twice as many South Floridians
have household incomes over
$200,000 — almost 5 percent
versus 2.4 percent. Both south
and north of the new state line,
about 1 in 8 residents would be
on food stamps.
MORE DEMOCRATIC
Democrats would make up a
plurality of South Florida’s registered voters — around 40 percent, leaving Republicans to
make up a plurality, also 40
percent, north of the border. In
South Florida, Republicans
would account for under a third
of voters and the unaffiliated
would make up a quarter of voters. Up north, Democrats would
be more than a third of voters
and the unaffiliated would
account for almost a fifth of registered voters.
BUT THEY’D CANCEL
EACH OTHER OUT
President Barack Obama won
Florida with 50 percent of the vote
in 2012, even though Democrats
make up 38 percent of Florida’s
voters and Republicans 34 percent. If Florida’s 2012 presidential vote were split, Obama would
have won 54 percent in South
Florida, and Mitt Romney would
have won 57 percent in the north.
ANOTHER DAY,
ANOTHER DOLLAR
South Florida would have more
professionals in its workforce,
and larger percentages working in
trades and tourism jobs. With the
University of Florida, Florida
State University and the state
Capital, the north would have a
larger share of workers in educa-
tion, health care and government.
LAW & ORDER
The counties that would make
up South Florida collectively had

INTERNATIONAL BRIEFS
Wanted by the U.S., Roman
Polanski gets film award
WARSAW, Poland (AP) —
Filmmaker Roman Polanski has
received a film award and
pressed his palms into plaster for
the hall of independent cinema
stars in Krakow— the same
Polish city where a court is
weighing a U.S. request for his
extradition.
Polanski attended the opening
late Friday of the 8th edition of
the PKO Off Camera film festival
and was awarded the “Against
the Current” award for independence in art. Polanski, who spent
his childhood in Krakow, jokingly
said he was happy to be award
there “at long last.”
In February, the Oscar-winning director appeared in a
Krakow court for a hearing related to a U.S. request for his extradition concerning charges of sex
with a minor, a case that has
haunted him since 1977.
Lawmaker: Islamic State kills
some 25 captive Iraqi Yazidis
BAGHDAD (AP) — A prominent
Yazidi lawmaker in Iraq says
Islamic State group militants
have killed at least 25 captive
Yazidis at a prison camp.
Legislator Mahma Khalil said
late Saturday that the militants
killed the captives on Friday in
the town of Tal Afar. Khalil said
he spoke to four different people
with knowledge of the situation
in the camp.
Khalil says the reason behind
the killings was still unknown.
He said: “The militants want to
spread horror among them to
force them to convert to Islam or
to do something else.”
He added that the killed captives included men, women and
elderly who were kept in a camp
south of Tal Afar. He believes
some 1,400 other Yazidis are still
held in that camp.
Burundi military says it will
remain neutral amid protests
BUJUMBURA, Burundi (AP) —
Burundi’s defense minister said
Saturday the army will remain
neutral amid the street protests
stemming from the president’s
controversial bid for a third term.
Maj.
Gen.
Pontien
Gaciyubwenge told a news conference that “all political actors”
in Burundi should not go down
the path of violence, according to
local media.
In street protests since
Sunday, the military has been
acting as a buffer between protesters and local police, who are
accused of sometimes using live
ammunition against the protesters. Tear gas has also been used
to break up crowds.
Burundi’s popular Radio
Isanganiro quoted Gaciyubwenge
as saying the military should
behave in ways that “conform to
the spirit” of the constitution as
well as the Arusha Agreements
that ended a civil war in which
more than 250,000 people died.
The fighting between Hutu
rebels and a Tutsi-dominated
army ended in 2003. The Central
African nation’s war began in
October 1993, after Burundi’s
first democratically elected president was assassinated.
Afghan trial in mob killing that
sparked outrage begins
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) —
The trial of 49 suspects, including 19 police officers, on charges
relating to the brutal mob killing
of an Afghan woman began
Saturday in Kabul.
The opening of the trial at
Afghanistan’s Primary Court was
broadcast live on nationwide television. The suspects all face
charges relating to the March 19
killing of a 27-year-old woman
named Farkhunda.
A prosecutor read charges
against 10 of the defendants,
including assault, murder and
encouraging others to participate
in the assault. The police officers
are charged with neglecting their
duties and failing to prevent the
attack.
Prosecutors have alleged that
Farkhunda was beaten to death
in a frenzied attack sparked by a
bogus accusation that she had
burned a copy of the Quran.
The killing shocked many
Afghans, though some public
and religious figures said it
would have been justified if she
in fact had damaged a copy of the
Muslim holy book.
Cellphone video of the assault
circulated widely on social
media. It showed Farkhunda,
who like many Afghans went by
only one name, being beaten, run
over with a car and burned
before her body was thrown into
the Kabul River.
The incident sparked nationwide outrage, as well as a civil
society movement to limit the
power of clerics, strengthen the
rule of law and improve women’s
rights.
Safiullah Mojadedi, head of the
Primary Court, called for senior
officials, including the Kabul
police chief and the Interior
Ministry’s chief criminal investigator, to attend Sunday’s court
session. He also ordered the
arrest of another police officer
who allegedly freed a suspect.
At least two of the accused told
the court they had confessed
under physical duress.
Canadian prime minister visits
Iraq as bombings kill 30
BAGHDAD (AP) — Canadian
Prime Minister Stephen Harper
made a surprise visit Saturday to
Iraq, pledging to continue
Canada’s support for the battle
against the Islamic State group
as bombings across the country
killed at least 30 people.
The Canadian government has
announced $139 million in additional aid to address the refugee
crisis around the region precipitated by the fighting, in addition
to the $67 million already committed to Iraq.
Iraq’s Prime Minister Haider
al-Abadi received Harper in
Baghdad. Canada is part of the
U.S.-led international coalition
supporting the Iraqi military with
airstrikes and training.
“Canada will not stand idly by
while ISIS threatens Canadians
and commits barbaric acts of violence and injustice in Iraq
against innocent civilians,”
Harper said in a statement, referring to the Islamic State group by
an alternate acronym.
Al-Abadi hailed Canada’s role
in that coalition as “essential”
and called on the international
community to join forces against
the extremist threat as “terrorism
is not only threatening Iraq, but
the region and the whole world.”
Meanwhile Saturday, a suicide
car bombing followed by another
car bombing minutes later in
Baghdad’s popular Karrada
neighborhood killed at least 17
people, police said. The bombs
struck as restaurants and coffee
shops were full of people, they
said.
Former President Jimmy Carter:
Gaza situation ‘intolerable’
JERUSALEM (AP) — Former
U.S. President Jimmy Carter said
Saturday that eight months after
a bloody war in the Gaza Strip
the situation there remains
“intolerable.”
Carter and his delegation were
supposed to visit the isolated territory but earlier this week called
it off siting unspecified security
concerns. Speaking to reporters
in Jerusalem, Carter said he was
still determined to work for a
Palestinian state in the West
Bank and Gaza.
“What we have seen and heard
only strengthens our determination to work for peace,” he said.
“The situation in Gaza is intolerable. Eight months after a devastating war, not one destroyed
house has been rebuilt and people cannot live with the respect
and dignity they deserve.”
More than 2,000 Palestinians
were killed in the 50-day summer
war between Israeli forces and
Hamas militants who fired rockets into Israel.
Earlier in the day, Carter, 90,
visited Palestinian President
Mahmoud Abbas in Ramallah
and laid a wreath on the grave of
former leader Yasser Arafat.
Carter was accompanied by
Gro Harlem Brundtland, a former prime minister of Norway
and fellow member of his Elders
group.
But Carter was shunned by
Israeli leaders who long have
considered him hostile to the
Jewish state.
U.S. to look into claim airstrike
killed 52 civilians in Syria
BEIRUT (AP) — The U.S. military said Saturday it was looking
into an activist group’s claim that
at least 52 civilians were killed in
U.S.-led airstrikes near the
Syrian border town of Kobani
amid its campaign against the
extremist Islamic State group.
The
strikes
happened
Thursday and Friday on the
Syrian village of Bir Mahli, the
Britain-based based Syrian
Observatory for Human Rights
said. The U.S.-led coalition said
its strikes during that time
destroyed seven Islamic State
positions and one of the group’s
vehicles near Kobani, which
Kurdish fighters ultimately
pushed the extremists out of
after months of intense fighting.
On Saturday, the Observatory
director Rami Abdurrahman said
the strikes only hit civilians in
their homes in Bir Mhali, a mixed
Kurdish and Arab village, killing
52, including seven children and
nine women. His activist group
relies on a network of activists on
the ground in Syria, which has
been mired in civil war for more
than four years.
Maj. Curtis Kellogg, a
spokesman for U.S. Central
Command, told The Associated
Press that there was no information
to
corroborate
the
Observatory’s claims, though the
coalition has measures in place
to reduce potential collateral
damage.
“We currently have no information to corroborate allegations
that coalition airstrikes resulted
in civilian casualties,” Kellogg
said. “Regardless, we take all
allegations seriously and will
look into them further.”

Some 1,400 migrants saved by
Italy, France in sea off Libya
ROME (AP) — Ships from Italy
and France rescued more than
1,400 migrants on Saturday after
smugglers’ boats ran into trouble
in the Mediterranean Sea near
Libya.
Italian officials said 1,200
migrants were being taken to
Italian ports after several different rescue operations by its coast
guard and navy, including helping some 200 people aboard
motorized rubber dinghies a day
earlier south of Sicily. The smugglers’ boats had set out in a spell
of warm, calm weather.
In a French operation, another
217 migrants in three rubber
dinghies were rescued by a
Marine patrol boat and two suspected smugglers were detained
in the seas north of Libya, the
Maritime Prefecture in Toulon
said. All were being turned over
to Italian authorities.
It was the first rescue operation by France since an April 23
decision by European leaders to
boost patrols after an estimated
800 migrants died earlier this
month when an overcrowded
fishing boat capsized. That was
the largest known loss of life in a
single migrant boating disaster
— only 28 people survived.
The deaths prompted a
humanitarian outcry and a
European Union pledge to boost
rescue efforts.
Pope defends soon-to-be saint vs
Native American objections
ROME (AP) — Pope Francis
has praised the “holiness” and
“zeal” of an 18th-century
Franciscan missionary he’ll

United States this fall but whom
Native Americans in California
contend brutally converted
indigenous
people
to
Christianity.
Francis on Saturday praised
the accomplishments and qualities of Rev. Junipero Serra during a homily at a Rome seminary
training future priests from
North America. The pope will elevate the Spanish native to sainthood in a ceremony in
Washington, D.C. in Sept. 23,
during his U.S. pilgrimage.
Native Americans have held
protests in California, saying
instead of being honored, Serra
should be criticized for what they
say is his role in wiping out
native populations in a brutal
campaign to impose Catholicism.
Francis says Serra defended
natives against “abuses by the
colonizers.”
Nigerian military: 234 more
females rescued from extremists
YOLA, Nigeria (AP) — Nigeria’s
military rescued 234 more girls
and women from a Boko Haram
forest stronghold in the country’s
northeast, an announcement on
social media said Saturday.
More than 677 females have
been declared rescued this week.
“FLASH: Another set of 234
women and children were rescued through the Kawuri and
Konduga end of the #Sambisa
Forest on Thursday,” said a message on the official Twitter
account of the Nigerian Defence
Headquarters posted early
Saturday.
The army has deployed ground
troops into Sambisa Forest after
weeks of punishing air raids on
the area.
“The assault on the forest is
continuing from various fronts
and efforts are concentrated on
rescuing hostages of civilians and
destroying all terrorist camps and
facilities in the forest,” said
Defense Ministry spokesman Maj.
Gen. Chris Olukolade.
Sambisa Forest is the last
holdout of the Islamic militants.
President Goodluck Jonathan,
whose term ends this month,
pledged Thursday to “hand over a
Nigeria completely free of terrorist strongholds.”
Hundreds of families trapped
by fighting in Yemen’s Aden
SANAA, Yemen (AP) —
Hundreds of families are trapped
in their homes by weeks of fierce
fighting in the center of the southern city of Aden, running short of
supplies — their only lifeline coming from volunteers making dangerous runs across the city’s harbor in rickety boats bearing food
and medicine.
Their plight is just one level of
the misery wreaked on Aden, once
Yemen’s commercial hub, by a
month of unrelenting urban warfare as Shiite rebels and their
allies in the military try to capture
the city, battling with local militiamen as warplanes from a Saudiled coalition pound the city with
airstrikes trying to stop the rebel
advance.
Infrastructure in the city, once
home to a million people, has
been systematically destroyed,
whether in ground fighting by the
two sides or by airstrikes. Wheat
is scarce after grain silos at the
port were destroyed by airstrikes
after the rebels, known as
Houthis, took refuge in them —
leaving city bakeries with shortages of flour. Other strikes have
pounded hotels and schools —
even the city’s main shopping
mall — used as gathering points
of Houthis and their allies. Aden’s
main hospital was stormed by
militias, snatching some people
receiving treatment as doctors
and patients fled, according to the
U.N.
“They are starving us,” said
Mohammed Mater, a resident who
has been trapped in his home for
weeks along with his wife and
seven children, with no electricity
or running water. They have been
surviving, he said, on canned
tuna, dates and rice. As he spoke
by phone to The Associated Press,
his 4-year-old daughter Aisha
interrupted him in the background, asking, “How long the war
will take? Will snipers leave the
hill?”
Mater’s family is among thousands unable to leave their homes
in the city’s worst battleground
neighborhoods, located in the city
center. Downtown Aden is located
on a peninsula jutting into the
Arabian Sea, connected to the
mainland by a narrow isthmus —
largely controlled by the combined
forces of the Houthis and their
allies, troops loyal to ousted
President Ali Abdullah Saleh.
The geography leaves them
isolated in their home streets
that have become war zones,
with tanks firing in residential
areas and snipers on rooftops as
poorly armed militias try to fend
off the Houthis and pro-Saleh
forces. With ambulances unable
to reach them because of sniper
fire, dead and wounded often lie
for days in the streets. Some
families have buried loved ones
in their backyards. Others have
made their way to the Aden
University medical school to
bury them in an empty lot, several residents told AP.
“It’s a big prison here. The war
in front of us and the sea behind
us,” Mater said. “We became like
street beggars waiting for anyone
to drop us a piece of bread or
water.”
One of the few sources of supplies are the boat runs organized by a group of volunteers
called “For You, Aden.” Several
times over the past week, the
group has gathered food and
medicine and delivered it by old
boats from mainland neighborhoods of Aden, crossing some 3
miles across the harbor to the
peninsula. One time, the boat
broke down halfway and had to
be pulled to safety by another
ship, said Maha el-Sayyed, a
volunteer with the group.
“The trip is dangerous
because you can be shelled from
any side, at any point especially
that the food stuff is hard to
hide,” she said. “We know that
this is a mission that we might
not return from.” The group has
lists of families trapped in the
center, but once they reach the
area they often can’t move past
the docks because of the fighting, she said, so residents have
to make a risky run to come get
it themselves.
Aden is one of the main battlegrounds in a war that the U.N.
and other aid agencies warn is
pushing the impoverished nation
into a humanitarian disaster.
On Thursday, the U.N.
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon
said the country’s health, water
and telecommunications systems
are “on the brink of collapse.”
Yemen imports 90 percent of its
food supplies — not only have
imports been disrupted, but distributing the food that does reach
the remaining operating ports to
other parts of the country has
become difficult. Fuel prices have
skyrocketed, causing food prices
to spiral up as well.
Nationwide, Ban said, more
than 1,200 people have been
killed — though it was not clear
from his statement how many of
those are civilians. Last week,
Rupert Colville, a spokesman for
the U.N. High Commissioner for
Human Rights, said 551 civilians have been killed and 1,185
wounded in the violence
between March 26 and April 22.
Some 300,000 people around
the country have fled their
homes.
Saudi Arabia launched its air
campaign on March 26 in a bid to
restore the government of the
internationally recognized president, Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi,
who fled Yemen in the face of the
advance by the Houthis.

Aid still scarce in Nepal’s remote villages as anger grows
MAJUWA, Nepal (AP) — With
help still not reaching some isolated villages a week after Nepal’s
devastating earthquake, a top
international aid official said
Saturday that more helicopters
were needed to get assistance to
the farthest reaches of this
Himalayan nation.
Many mountain roads, often
treacherous at the best of times,
remain blocked by landslides,
making it extremely difficult for
supply trucks to get to the higher
Himalayan foothills.
“We definitely need more helicopters,” Ertharin Cousin, executive director of the U.N.’s World
Food Program, told The
Associated Press in the village of
Majuwa, in the quake-devastated
Gorkha district. Aid agencies
have been using Majuwa as a
staging area to get supplies deeper into mountainous areas.
“Even seven days in this is still
very much considered the early
days, because there are people
we still haven’t reached. So we
need helicopters to reach them.”
“This is one of the poorest
places on Earth. If the global
community walks away, the people of this country will not
receive the assistance that is
required for them to rebuild their
lives,” she said.
Cousin said shelter was a
more urgent priority at this point
than food.
More than 130,000 houses
were destroyed in the quake,
according to the U.N. humanitarian office. Near the epicenter,
north of Kathmandu, whole villages were in ruins, and residents were in desperate need of
temporary shelters against the
rain and cold.
The magnitude-7.8 earthquake killed more than 6,600
people, with the death toll continuing to rise as reports filter in
from isolated areas. The U.N. has
estimated the quake affected 8.1
million people — more than a
fourth of Nepal’s population of
27.8 million.
Other teams conducting
search and rescue operations
also said their work was hampered by a lack of helicopters.
David O’Neill of United
Kingdom Fire and Rescue said a
team from his group drove and
then walked for several hours to
reach remote villages that had
reported 80 percent fatalities.
Most of the residents of Golche
and Pangtang villages died in a
major aftershock a day after the
quake, O’Neill said in Chautara,
a village in Sindhupalchok district.
He said the team had hoped to
reach the areas by helicopter
from Chautara, but none were
available to charter and they
could not get on choppers flown
by Nepal’s army, so they were
returning to Kathmandu.
Nepal’s government renewed
its appeal to international donors
to send tents, tarpaulins and
basic food supplies, saying some
of the items being sent are of little use. It also asked donors to
send money if they cannot send
things that are immediately necessary.
“We have received things like
tuna fish and mayonnaise. What
good are those things for us? We
need grains, salt and sugar,”
Finance Minister Ram Sharan
Mahat told reporters Friday.
Three senior officials were sent
to remote villages after criticism
that authorities had not reached
some of the areas a full week
since the earthquake.
“Our target now is for our officers to reach each of the villages
that have been affected by the
earthquake,” Chief Secretary
Lilamani Poudyal said.
There was enough food and
grain, but the immediate need for
tents and shelter remained, he
said.
Information Minister Minendra
Rijal said Nepal would need
400,000 tents and so far has
been able to provide only 29,000
to those in need.
Life has been slowly returning
to normal in Kathmandu, but to
the east, angry villagers in parts
of the Sindhupalchok district
said Saturday they were still
waiting for aid to reach them.
In the village of Pauwathok,
three trucks apparently carrying
aid supplies roared by without
stopping.
“What about us?” screamed
villagers, as the trucks sped on.
Of the 85 homes in Pauwathok,
all but a handful were destroyed.
“Nobody has come here to help
us. No government, no police, no
aid,” Badri Giri, 71.
Anger and frustration at the
slow pace of aid delivery have
been growing among residents of
remote Himalayan villages.
In the nearby village of
Jalkeni, mounds of broken wood
and stone line the road, the
remains of homes flattened by
the quake.

A mAn wAlks through the famous Swayambhunath stupa after it was damaged in the April 25 massive earthquake in Kathmandu, Nepal. Swayambhunath, which dates back to the 5th century, is one of
at least 68 cultural heritage sites in Nepal that were damaged by the earthquake.
Damaged by deadly quake,
fate of Nepal heritage unsure
KATHMANDU, Nepal (AP) —
The blue-rimmed eyes of
Kathmandu’s
gold-spired
Swayambhunath stupa have long
stared silently from a lush hilltop
overlooking this city nestled in
the Himalayan foothills.
But since Nepal was shattered
by a mammoth earthquake a
week ago, those eyes have gazed
upon a nation in mourning —
and on a microcosm of its
despair inside the ancient temple
itself.
Here, monkeys scurry across
the demolished ruins of a pair of
precious bullet-shaped edifices
built by King Pratap Malla in the
1600s. Saffron-robed monks
haul golden relics and carpets
out of a ruined monastery. The
temple now has its own population of displaced — priests and
vendors huddle under tents, after
their own homes in the complex
crumbled.
Swayambhunath, which dates
back to the 5th century, is one of
at least 68 cultural heritage sites
in Nepal that were damaged by
the tremor, according to Nipuna
Shrestha of the UNESCO, the
U.N. cultural heritage organization, citing preliminary figures
from the Department of
Archaeology. That’s nearly 80
percent of historic landmarks in
seven monument zones that have
been declared World Heritage
Sites in the Kathmandu Valley
alone.
Few would compare the loss of
Nepal’s historic treasures to the
massive human misery wrought
by the magnitude-7.8 quake,
which has claimed nearly 7,000
lives, damaged more than have a
million homes, and displaced
nearly 3 million people.
And yet, “it’s hard to describe
how painful this is,” Shrestha
said. “These are not just monuments, they are part of our daily
life. It feels like losing part of your
family.”
Shrestha said at least 18 other
monuments are known to have
been damaged elsewhere, but
information has been incomplete
because phone networks have
been disrupted and roads severed
by avalanches. The sites most
heavily affected were made of
brick and wood.
Terrifying footage posted on
YouTube of the moment the
quake hit one temple complex in
Bhaktapur, just east of the capital, shows chunks falling from
the top of a crumbling temple as
it is enshrouded in a cloud of
brown dust. Tourists can be
heard screaming as some struggle to stand and others try to run
as buildings disintegrate around
them.
Speaking earlier this week,
Prime Minister Sushil Koirala
said the government’s first priority was relief and rescue for all
those affected. But he also vowed
to rebuild “all structures of historical, religious and archaeological significance.”
In an impoverished country
already struggling to help the living, though, it is unclear when
that will happen, or how.
Among
the
landmarks
destroyed in the capital was the
iconic, nine-story Dharahara
Tower, which was topped by a
statue of Shiva — the god of
destruction in Hinduism, the predominant religion among Nepal’s
28 million people. The second
biggest regligion is Buddhism.
Police say at least 60 bodies
were recovered, most of whom
were inside the tower’s 213-step
spiral staircase at the time. Built
in 1832, Dharahara was partially
destroyed during a 1934 quake,
and like many sites that were
toppled across the country, eventually rebuilt.
The tower once offered
panoramic views of the city. All
that remains now is its base, the
rest having smashed into the
ground surrounding it.
Amrit Sharma, an Indian
national who grew up in
Kathmandu and has spent much
of his life here, said the tower was
like “our Washington Monument,
our Empire State building.”
“The damage to these sites is
not just a huge loss for Nepal, it’s
a huge loss for humanity,”
Sharma said. “People come from
all over the world to see these.
But they’re not just tourist
attractions to us. If we lose them,
we lose a sense of our past.”
Among the worst hit sites was
Kathmandu’s historic center,
Basantapur Durbar Square. Built
between the 12th and 18th centuries, it is a place where kings
have been coronated and religious festivals are held. The
Nepal Archaeology Department
website calls it “an open museum
of Nepalese culture, art and
architecture.”
Steps that once led to a pair of
pagoda-style Hindu temples with
multi-tiered roofs now lead
nowhere, resembling giant
anthills.
One
of
them,
Kasthamandap, was built five
centuries ago and is believed to
have been constructed from the
timber of a single tree.
Elsewhere, a 17th-century
statue of Garuda, a bird-like deity
in Hinduism ridden by the god
Vishnu, lies at the bottom of a tall
stone pillar it once adorned.
Other temples have been leveled
completely.
Although soldiers and police
guard the sites, hundreds of residents freely clambered over the
top of some of the ruins, most
volunteering to help in a preliminary effort to clean up the
square.

American Pharoah rallies to win Kentucky Derby
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) —
Brilliant
but
untested,
American Pharoah was put to a
fight in the Kentucky Derby and
won.
Sent off as the 5-2 favorite by
the record crowd of 170,513,
the brown colt rallied in the
stretch to beat Firing Line by a
length Saturday and deliver
trainer Bob Baffert’s fourth
Derby win and first since 2002.
“It’s a fantasy moment for
us,” said a joyous Baffert, surrounded by his three older sons
and his youngest, 10-year-old
Bode, who jumped up and down
and waved his arms in celebration.
Baffert also saddled thirdplace Dortmund, the other part
of his lethal 1-2 punch in the
141st Derby. Firing Line finished second.
“We were ready to rumble,”
Baffert said.
Dortmund set a leisurely pace
with Firing Line tracking him
closely in second. American
Pharoah sat comfortably in
third down the backstretch.
That trio made it a threehorse race in the stretch, with
none of the closers able to make
up ground. American Pharoah
angled outside and fought off a
persistent Firing Line as
Dortmund tired along the rail.
Now, the moment of truth.
Could American Pharoah justify
Baffert’s belief that he was an
exceptional colt?
“I was on pins and needles all
week,” the white-haired trainer
said. “I know I was coming in
here with the best horse.”
American Pharoah proved
him right.
Still, it was a long road to the
winner’s circle for the colt with
the unusually short tail — having had it chewed off by another
horse on the farm — and the
misspelled moniker courtesy of
“This is for the Zayats, who
have suffered so much running
these seconds,” Baffert said.
“We know what it is to just get
punched right in the face.”

American Pharoah missed his

was scratched from the

He returned with two easy wins

beaten much tougher fields,
raising questions about whether

“He’s been a special horse

Baffert tied D. Wayne Lukas

$7.80, $5.80, $4.20.
Firing Line returned $8.40
and $5.40 at 10-1 odds, while
Dortmund was another two
lengths back in third and paid
$4.20 to show.
Owner Ahmed Zayat accepted
the gold winner’s trophy — his
first after a trio of second-place
finishes in the $2.1 million race.
“Finally, no more seconds,”
he said, laughing.
Baffert trained two of Zayat’s
runners-up: Pioneerof the Nile
in 2009, the sire of American
Pharoah; and Bodemeister,
named for Baffert’s son, three
years ago.
(AP) — Finally, a trip to the
winner’s circle for Ahmed Zayat.
After three disappointing runner-up finishes, the owner won
his first Kentucky Derby when
favorite American Pharoah took
the Run for the Roses on
Saturday before at record crowd
at Churchill Downs.
The owner from Egypt who
lives in New Jersey celebrated
with his trainer Bob Baffert and
jockey Victor Espinoza, both of
whom are well acquainted with
winning the Derby. Baffert won
his fourth, Espinoza his third.
“I’m just happy for the Zayat
family,” said Baffert.
Zayat was all smiles.
“I’m speechless and very emotional. We’ve been very close,”
he said. “This is one special
horse.”
Asked if it’s on the Preakness
in two weeks, Zayat laughed
and said “we’ll see.”
Zayat finished second with
Bodemeister in 2012, Nehro in
2011 and Pioneerof the Nile in

Bears bounced by Tribe

By RICHARD ROBERTS
Banner Sports Editor
ATHENS — And then there
were none.
Bradley Central squandered
a four-run lead, battled back to
tie the game at 6-6 but could
not hold off McMinn County in
the end.
The Cherokees scored three
sixth-inning runs to break the
deadlock then shut down the
Bears in the final two innings to
move forward in the District 5AAA baseball tournament with
a 9-6 win Friday night in
Athens.
The Bears were the last
Bradley County team remaining
in the single elimination round.
The Cleveland Blue Raiders fell

and the Walker Valley Mustangs
bowed out after being knocked
off by Ooltewah Thursday.
“I really have to give credit to
them (McMinn). We just
couldn’t make them go away. If
we made a mistake, they made
us pay for it. We extended
innings for them sometimes,”
said Bears coach Travis Adams.
Tyler Carpenter got the Bears
off to a solid start in his first
plate appearance with a lead-off
double to left field in the bottom
of the first inning. Carpenter
moved to third on a Tanner Cox
sacrifice and scored on Austin
Calfee’s infield single to give the
Bears a 1-0 lead.
The Bears added to the lead
in their next at bat. Cason Still

‘Fillies’ get feisty as tournament opens

BRADLEY CENTRAL senior
Chanler Grady scores the first
run in a 10-0 victory over
crosstown rival Cleveland
Saturday afternoon in the District
5-AAA Tournament at Bob
McKenzie Field.
After a couple of hobbling final District 5-AAA
games this week that knocked Walker Valley from
the top seed down to third, the “Fillies” got their
feisty back once the league tournament got underway.
Opening the post-season with a 10-0 victory over
sixth-seeded Bradley Central Friday on Larry
Haney Field, the Lady Mustangs used a three-run,
final-inning rally to pull off a 4-3 victory over No. 2
seeded Ooltewah Saturday morning at Bob
McKenzie Field, where the rest of the event will be
staged.
“This group refuses to lose,” declared an excited
Walker Valley head coach Lauren Limburg
Saturday morning. “I haven’t heard a word about
prom (which was last night) or anything else,
except this tournament and how they want to win
it.”
“This was another great team effort today,” she
proclaimed. “Alicia (Raymond, the team’s senior
pitcher that is headed to play for Lincoln Memorial)
stepped up and had a heck of a game — pitching
and hitting. She’s a competitor. A fighter. They (the
Lady Mustangs) all are.”
Walker Valley (23-7) will now face off with No. 1
Soddy-Daisy (27-7), the team that has forced the
Lady Mustangs to settle for second place in the district event for the past three seasons, in Monday’s
winner’s bracket final at 8 p.m. The winner
advances to the title game Tuesday.
Ooltewah (31-8) will take on East Hamilton (1315) in an elimination game Monday at 6, with the
victor facing the Walker Valley-Soddy-Daisy loser
Tuesday at 5 for the final spot in the championship
game at 7 that evening.
A trio of 5-AAA teams saw their seasons come to
a close Saturday. The host Bradley (6-20) squad
blanked Cleveland (4-13) behind the no-hit pitching
effort of freshman Katie Davis to send their rivals
packing.
The Bearettes then fell to East Hamilton in a 122 outcome.
The Lady Raiders dropped their opening round
game at Ooltewah Friday evening by a 6-0 margin.
McMinn County (14-16) also went two-and-out
with losses to East Hamilton Friday evening and
Ooltewah Saturday in a pair of 16-5 final scores.

a lead-off walk, with an RBI
double to left-center field. With

The Cherokees answered

Colts make history with win over Chargers
Special to the Banner
On Thursday night the Ocoee Middle School boys
soccer team made school history by defeating soccer powerhouse Chattanooga Christian School 2-0.
OMS started the scoring in the first half off of a
corner kick. Dawson Morrow headed in the game’s
first goal. OMS continued their strong play in the
second half, and was able to capitalize on a CCS
foul. Chase Foster buried the penalty kick in the
top left corner.
Colts goal keeper C.J. Heifner made many key
saves to preserve the shutout.
“It was a huge win for our program. My boys
played with heart and determination tonight. We
played to our potential this game and saw the
result from it. Each player worked their tail off from
our keeper to our forwards. There was good play
throughout,” OMS coach Kevin England said.
“We went to CCS with a specific game plan on
how we were going to attack their formation and
style of play. My players executed it to perfection. I
have recently changed our defensive formation from
a Diamond 4 defense to a Flat Back 3 to better combat most teams’ strategies in our conference. We
have had a lot of success lately with this. The players have different responsibilities that are expected
within this formation, which can be difficult. But
they are making it look easy,” England continued.
“I am really proud of my boys, and it just shows
their soccer versatility and maturity. As a coach, I
can make many adjustments, changes in strategies
and create new formations. But if my players don’t
trust my wisdom and guidance and don’t buy in
then it won’t matter in the end. They are a fun

Titans open NFL draft with
1st pick, add 2 in 4th round
Banner photo, sArALYN NorKus
NASHVILLE (AP) — The
Tennessee Titans expect to start
the season with rookie quarterback Marcus Mariota, so that
means running the ball well will
be crucial.
So they used two of their first
three draft selections Saturday
on a fullback and a new running
back to repair a unit that was
one of the NFL’s worst last season. The Titans drafted Bishop
Sankey out of Washington in the
second round last year, but he
struggled as a rookie after missing most of the offseason program while finishing up at
school.
The Titans made defensive
tackle Angelo Blackson the No.
100 pick overall to open the
fourth round Saturday, the last
day of the draft. Then they
turned to their run game seven
selections later with fullback
Jalston Fowler of Alabama followed by running back David
Cobb of Minnesota at No. 138
overall in the fifth round.
“We have to be more productive in the run game, and we feel
like Bishop will have a better
year this year,” coach Ken
Whisenhunt said. “He knows
that our expectations on that
and we certainly feel like Cobb
can come in here and compete.”
The Titans ranked 26th averaging only 90.4 yards per game
in 2014 as they went 2-14 in
Whisenhunt’s debut season.
Sankey ran for a team-high 569
yards averaging 3.7 yards per
carry. The Titans tried to keep
Sankey updated through the offseason program that he missed
using their new iPads, but it
wasn’t enough.
“I have no doubt missing the
spring last year hurt him,”

Raiders crush Lady
Flames in kickball
battle at Cleveland
By SARALYN NORKUS
Banner Sports Writer
Uncooperative weather may
have put the kibosh on the
regional Special Olympics normally held at Cleveland High
School, but nothing could stop
the Raiders from coming out
and getting another win over
the Lee University Lady
Flames softball team.
“We host the region’s Special
Olympics, but it was canceled
twice because of the rain so
this took its place for our
kids,” faculty adviser Dr. Anita
Brown explained. “This game
has become a tradition for us
and Lee University — we’re
still undefeated and will challenge them again next year.”
Having been pushed back a
day, the Raiders squad, which
was comprised of the extended
resource and self-contained
classroom students, showed
no rust as they picked up a
48-11 win over the Lady
Flames in front of a packed
house at Brenda McKenzie
Lawson Stadium.
The overwhelming victory
bolstered the Raiders’ record
up to a perfect 12-0. In last
year’s game, the Rowdy
Raiders posted a 30-0 win over
the Lady Flames.
While Lady Flames head
coach Emily Russell may have
over 500 wins in the books,
none of those have come
against the Raiders in a game
of kickball.
“We’ve got to keep trying and
will come out again next year,”
Russell declared. “It’s a lot of
fun. We did it last year and the
girls weren’t really sure what
to expect, so they were really
looking forward to it this year.”
One thing is for certain, the
Lady Flames will have to get
some extra practice in if they
ever hope to hang with the
Raiders.
Baseball Cougars named to

College placed two Cougars on

Caffrey batted .386 this season. He had 54 hits on the year
including 14 doubles and six
home runs while driving in 28
runs. He had a slugging percentage of .629 while playing an outstanding third base. Caffrey also
finished in the top five in batting
average for the conference.
Wyrick a freshman left-handed
pitcher made 11 starts for the
Cougars. He was 4-4 with an
impressive earned run average of
Caffrey
Wyrick
3.76. He led the staff with
innings pitched with 64 and
strikeouts with 74. Wyrick held
opponents to a .206 batting average.
“This honor is well deserved
for Chris and Jake. They both
had good years and to be recognized is quite an honor,” said
Cougars head coach Mike
Policastro.
Lee track claims two
national top honors
From LEE SPORTS INFORMATION
ROME, Ga. — The Lee
University Men’s Track & Field
team claimed two national championships and stands in second
place following the first day of
competition at the 2015 National
Christian
College
Athletic
Association National Track &
Field Championships hosted by
Shorter University at Maddox
Track at Historic Barron
Stadium in Rome, Ga..
Seth Eagleson handed Lee its
first win of the weekend with a
mark of 32:03.89 in the 10,000meter run. He crossed the finish
line over eight seconds ahead of
runner-up Timothy Zuercher of
Oklahoma Christian University.
Joseph Crook gave the Flames
three more team points with a
sixth-place finish (33:06.70).
The 4x800-meter relay team of
Emmanuel Kipchumba, Adam
Gullette, Terris Elliott and
Harold Smith gave the men’s
squad its second championship
in as many events. The foursome
posted a time of 7:35.61 to win
by over three seconds and set a
new
NCCAA
National
Championship record. The previ-
ous record of 7:41.61 had been
held by Grace College since
2001.
The Flames garnered 23 points
in their two events, but trail
Bethel College (Ind.) by 23
points. York College (Neb.) is in
third with 22 points.
The Lady Flames are tied for
22nd with two points following a
seventh-place finish by Emily
Bryan, Brianna Prugh, Madison
Riddle and Jessica Childers in
the 4x800-meter run.
Bryan and Adrian Martin

rounds and into Saturday’s
event finals. The top eight runners of each preliminary event
earned spots in the final.

200-meter dash and third
(12.40) in the 100-meter dash.

MArcus MAriotA, overall No. 2 NFL football draft pick by the
Tennessee Titans, left, answers questions during a news conference
Friday, in Nashville. With Mariota are Titans general manager Ruston
Webster, center, and head coach Ken Whisenhunt, right. Mariota
was selected by the Titans in the first round Thursday.
Whisenhunt said. “That’s one of
the things we look at now about
guys when we get to this point
even draft-wise if they’re going to
be here for the spring practices,
for the OTAs. So I think Bishop
will be better. He understands
his role better.”
Cobb set the single-season
rushing record running for 1,626
yards in 2014 for Minnesota, and
he averaged 5.2 yards per carry.
The Titans coached him during
the Senior Bowl and saw enough
to ignore an injured quadriceps
muscle that resulted in a slower
time in the 40-yard dash.
“That’s probably why we’re
picking him right now,” general
manager Ruston Webster said of
Cobb.
The Titans now have used five
of their first six selections in this
draft to address needs on
offense, including taking Mariota
second overall, then wide receiver Dorial Green-Beckham and
offensive
tackle
Jeremiah
Poutasi. They finally gave Hall of
Famer Dick LeBeau, hired earlier
this offseason to oversee the
defense, a draft pick to work
with as he attempts to upgrade a
unit that was one of the NFL’s
worst last season.
The 6-foot-4, 318-pound
Blackson played 42 games for
Auburn the past four seasons
with 65 tackles, and he had 5 ½
tackles for loss last season with
three sacks. The Titans added
outside
linebacker
Brian
Orakpo, cornerback Perrish Cox
and safety Da’Norris Searcy in
free agency to the defense while
bringing back linebacker Derrick
Morgan and defensive lineman
Karl Klug.
Webster said Blackson can
play end in their three-four or
nose tackle. Blackson talked
with the Titans only by telephone and at the combine while
visiting
Detroit,
Buffalo,
Chicago, Jets and the Broncos.
“It wasn’t a total surprise but
either way I am happy, super
happy,” Blackson said.
Fowler had his best season in
2011 running for 385 yards and
four touchdowns while sharing
carries in the Alabama backfield
with Trent Richardson and
Eddie Lacy. A knee injury ended
his 2012 season for the 5-foot11, 254-pound Fowler, but he is
versatile and can play at tight
end, tailback or fullback as
needed.
He also played in the Senior
Bowl for the South, while the
Titans coaching staff handled
the North squad.

Patrick happy but says
will ‘never say never’
TALLADEGA, Ala. (AP) —
Danica Patrick wants to
remain with Stewart-Haas
Racing but understands that
GoDaddy’s upcoming departure as her primary sponsor
has put her future with the
team in doubt.
GoDaddy will leave NASCAR
at the end of the season and
Patrick, who is in the final year
of her contract with SHR, said
the team and her management
group are actively searching for
a replacement.
Patrick, one of the few drivers who transcends auto racing, said Friday she knows she
needs to keep her options
open. She has driven for SHR
since 2012, when team coowner Tony Stewart put her in
a limited 10-race Sprint Cup
Series schedule.
“I really am happy at
Stewart-Haas, and they’re
working hard already to find
someone for the new primary
position,” Patrick said at
Talladega
Superspeedway,
where she’s preparing for
Sunday’s race.
“My team is working to find
someone for the new primary
position. At this point in time,
we’re moving forward with all
those intentions. I guess it is
on some levels open-season in
a lot of areas. You never say
never, of course, but I am
happy where I’m at right now.”
Patrick said she hasn’t
talked to Stewart about the situation yet, and teammate
Kevin Harvick admitted the
sponsorship search “can be a
little intimidating.” Harvick felt
that GoDaddy making its decision on Wednesday helps the
search for a replacement.
“I think when you know on
May 1 and you have somebody
like Danica Patrick that’s obviously very marketable and
she’s done a good job on the
race track ... I think that the
opportunity to go out and find
a sponsor is very high,”
Harvick said. “She’s been a
great part of being a teammate
of myself and everybody with
Stewart-Haas Racing.
“I think there’s just a lot of
decisions to be made on what
that costs and how you
approach it and where you
start.”
Patrick remains confident
she’ll find a primary sponsor
for her No. 10 Chevrolet.
GoDaddy has been her primary
sponsor since 2010 when she
raced in the IndyCar Series,
and the company followed her
to NASCAR. They’ve used her
in 13 Super Bowl commercials,
a record for celebrity appearances during the game.
For as popular and recognized as Patrick is, she knows
finding a company willing to
plunk down millions to sponsor a team isn’t easy these
days.
“They’ve been great, but it is
a new scenario and we’re going
to have to figure out and it’s a
challenge, no doubt,” Patrick
said. “Finding primary sponsors is a challenge. I feel confident that of all the people to
find sponsors, I believe in my
agent and my team. And we’ll
figure it out.”
Phil Bienert, the chief marketing officer at GoDaddy, said
it was a business decision
because data showed the company “we are past brand marketing in the U.S.”
Patrick is the only woman to
win an IndyCar race and won
the pole for the 2013 Daytona
500. She’s also led laps in both
the
Daytona
500
and
Indianapolis 500. She’s also in
the midst of her best season to
date — she has two top-10 finishes and is 16th in the standings.
Although she’d like to be
selective with her next sponsor,
she knows the current climate
may make that tricky. Still,
Patrick remains hopeful she’ll
find a partner that fits her
image and branding.
“In this day and age, it’s
about authenticity and people
can see through it pretty quick
and easy,” Patrick said. “Your
personality shines so much
better when you’re in a program that is something that
you enjoy and you’re having
fun with and is a part of you.
TALLADEGA, Ala. (AP) — In this
farewell season for Jeff Gordon,
he continues to seize every
moment both on and off the track.
Gordon won the 80th pole of his
career Saturday with a blistering
lap
around
Talladega
Superspeedway, where he’s a sixtime race winner.
The four-time NASCAR champion will start first Sunday and have
all three of his Hendrick
Motorsports teammates surrounding him as he seeks his first
win of the season.
Gordon’s lap of 194.793 mph
was a hefty 0.28 seconds faster
than teammate Kasey Kahne, who
qualified second for a Hendrick
Motorsports front row. It’s the
third pole of the season for
Gordon, who also was fastest in
Daytona 500 qualifying, which
was done under a different format.
“I am so proud of this pole
because we got the pole in
Daytona, but it was a totally different format,” Gordon said. “I
knew the car was fast there — for
this team to bring another car, a
different car here, and all the hard
work from the engine shop ... a lot
of hard work goes into this.”
Kahne was satisfied with second.
“I didn’t think I could beat Jeff,
but I thought I could get up there
on the front row with him,” Kahne
said.
Gordon raced from qualifying to
the Fox television booth, where he
was a guest analyst for Saturday’s
Xfinity Series race. He’s more
open about his free time this final
year and he’s determined to enjoy
every week.
He’s hosting friends from New
York City this weekend, and used
their visit to make his first trip
out to Talladega’s infamous

boulevard in at least a decade.
The rowdy party scene is
NASCAR’s version of Mardi Gras,
and Gordon has avoided it for
years.
Gordon joked Saturday his time

“It was so much fun, this whole
year, all I’ve wanted to do was just
enjoy the moments and take it all
in,” he said. “I feel like we’ve done
a good job of that with the scheduling and everything, and I’m having a ball.
“I haven’t been out there on the
boulevard in like 10 years. And so
it was worth it.”
NASCAR used a different qualifying format at Daytona, where
the field was set through group
sessions that the teams and drivers found a way to manipulate.
Gordon was pushed to his polewinning run by teammate Jimmie
Johnson, and NASCAR and its
fans were furious at the farce of a
session.
So a hybrid of both old-style
single-car runs and group sessions was used Saturday at
Talladega, where cars were sent
out one at a time in intervals set
by NASCAR. The 12 fastest drivers
advanced into the second and
final round, which was dominated
by the Chevrolets from Hendrick
Motorsports.
Although
Ryan
Blaney
sneaked his Ford into the mix by
qualifying third, the next two
spots went to Dale Earnhardt Jr.
and Johnson as all four
Hendrick drivers qualified in the
top five.
Tony Stewart, who uses a
Hendrick Motorsports engine,
qualified sixth.

Logano uses big block to win Xfinity race
TALLADEGA, Ala. (AP) — Joey Logano picked up
his third Xfinity Series win of the season by throwing
a big block on the final lap at Talladega
Superspeedway.
Logano led a race-high 40 laps Saturday but had
to withstand an intense final race to the checkered
flag.
The Team Penske driver was the leader on a
restart with eight laps remaining, and defending
race winner Elliott Sadler hooked to his bumper.
Sadler pushed Logano around and around the
superspeedway as an outside lane of traffic formed
alongside them.
As the final lap began, Sadler had no room to
make any sort of attempt to pass Logano for the lead.
Chris Buescher, his teammate at Roush Fenway
Racing, was leading the outside line and mounting a
challenge on Logano. As Sadler found himself boxed
in, he slid off of Logano’s bumper.
Logano then drifted up the track to block
Buescher and the entire outside line — a move that
secured the win.

“That was crazy,” Logano said in Victory Lane. “It’s

and was followed by Austin Dillon as Chevrolets
from Richard Childress Racing completed the podium.
J.J. Yeley was fourth in a Toyota and Joey Gase,
who started 39th, finished a career-best fifth.
Gase, who had never had a top-10 in 84 previous
starts, was overwhelmed after the finish. A 21-yearold struggling driver, Gase had not finished higher
than 25th this season before Saturday.
Buescher and Sadler faded to sixth and seventh.
“We were close,” Buescher said, acknowledging
that Logano “moved up and he blocked us when we
had that final run. It’s wild, guys are constantly
moving you around.”
There were several multi-car wrecks during the
race and an incident on pit road injured two crew
members from Biagi DenBeste Racing.
The incident evolved from a 10-car accident that
sent cars spinning down pit road. Brendan Gaughan
slid down pit road and hit the inside wall. It
appeared he also hit a pit sign held over the wall by
a crew member, and several people were knocked to
the ground.
One pit crew member was treated in the infield
care center and one was transported to a local hospital for further evaluation. Their identities were not
released.

The Yankees have bounced
back after a 3-6 start and lead the
AL East. The Red Sox are 5-9 in
their last 14 games.
One day after tying Willie Mays
for fourth place with 660 career
homers, Alex Rodriguez singled in
four at-bats, a sharp hit to left
field in the eighth after grounding
out three times against Wade
Miley (1-3).
Gardner doubled home a run
in the third before his fifth-inning
single. Chris Young hit his sixth
homer of the year, a solo shot in
the ninth.
Eovaldi allowed two runs in 6
2-3 innings. He left after his only
walk, to Blake Swihart. Betts
then hit his RBI double.
Swihart got a hit in his first
major league game. He was called
up from Triple-A after catcher
Ryan Hanigan broke a finger.
Both starters pitched well after
their worst outings of the season
last Sunday.
Miley gave up a run in the third
when Didi Gregorius singled, took
second on a wild pitch and scored
on the double by Gardner, who
was thrown out trying to reach
third.
The Red Sox tied it in the
fourth on Dustin Pedroia’s fifth
homer.
Chase Headley led off the
Yankees fifth with a double and
stayed at second when Gregorio
Petit’s fly to center bounced in
front of Betts. After a sacrifice by
Gregorius and a groundout by
Jacoby Ellsbury, Gardner singled.
Plouffe, Hunter homer, help
Nolasco, Twins beat White Sox
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — After a
terrible first week of the season,
the Minnesota Twins have played
their way back to .500.
Trevor Plouffe and Torii Hunter
homered, helping Ricky Nolasco
win in his return to the rotation
as the Twins beat the Chicago
White Sox 5-3 Saturday.
The White Sox lost their fourth
in a row and have been outscored
35-8 in that span.
Plouffe also lined an RBI single
with the bases loaded in the fifth
that broke a 3-all tie. Reliever
Carlos Rodon threw two hardbreaking sliders to get two strikes
on Plouffe, then left a fastball up.
In his first start since coming
off the disabled list with a sore
elbow, Nolasco (1-1) held the
White Sox to three runs and eight
hits over five innings. He had
been out since April 11.
The Twins used five relievers to
blank Chicago after Nolasco left.
Glen Perkins pitched the ninth
and remains perfect in eight save
chances.
Hunter hit a two-run homer off
Hector Noesi (0-3) in the third.
Hunter connected for the second
time since rejoining the Twins in
the offseason.
Avisail Garcia and J.B. Shuck
each had two hits and an RBI for
the White Sox.
The White Sox lost three runners on the bases in the early
innings. Shuck was thrown out
trying to stretch a second-inning
single into a double. Kurt Suzuki
threw out Garcia and Alexei
Ramirez attempting to steal second in the third and fourth,
respectively.

The Cubs got a scare in the
second when rookie second baseman Addison Russell and first
baseman Rizzo collided on Carlos

right field. Both players remained
in the game.
The Cubs were sloppy, too.

Invitational
THE WOODLANDS, Texas (AP)
— Michael Allen birdied the final
two holes for a 4-under 68 and a
one-stroke lead Saturday after the
second round of the Champions
Tour's Insperity Invitational.
The 56-year-old Allen had a 10under 134 total at The Woodlands
Country Club. He has seven victories on the 50-and-over tour, winning twice last season.
Joe Durant was second after a
68. He had a double bogey in the
par-4 17th and rebounded with a
birdie on the par-4 18th. Last
week, he teamed with Billy
Andrade to win the Legends of
Golf in Missouri for his first
Champions Tour title.
Durant wanted to quickly put
the double bogey behind him.
Scott Dunlap, Woody Austin
and Tom Lehman were 8 under.
Dunlap had a 65, the best round

Defending champion Bernhard

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Rory
McIlroy finally got his game in
order and made short work of
Hideki Matsuyama to roll into the
quarterfinals of the Match Play
Championship on Saturday.
McIlroy, who made only four
birdies in narrowly getting out of
group play, ran off four birdies in
eight holes for a 5-up lead, and
the Japanese star could never
recover. Next up for McIlroy was
Paul Casey, who held off a late
comeback by Charl Schwartzel.
“Definitely the best I’ve played
scoring-wise,” McIlroy said. “I was
able to take advantage of some of
the good shots I was hitting
today.”
McIlroy would be cutting it
close to get to Las Vegas for the
Manny
Pacquiao-Floyd
Mayweather Jr. fight. He teed off
at 4 p.m. and needed to end that
one perhaps even sooner than the
Matsuyama match to get there on
time.
And if he were to win, the semifinals start Sunday at 6:45 a.m.
“Two tickets there. There’s a
plane waiting,” McIlroy said.
“Whether I get on it, we’ll have to
see. But this takes priority.”
McIlroy and fifth-seeded Jim
Furyk were the only players from
the top 35 still around at the TPC
Harding Park.

A-Rod hits 660th homer, question of $6 million looms
BOSTON (AP) — No. 660 is in
the book. Will $6 million get in
the bank?
That’s the amount in a marketing agreement that the New York
Yankees may have to pay Alex
Rodriguez for tying Willie Mays’
total of 660 homers, fourth most
in major league history.
He slugged that on Friday
night, a no-doubt, tie-breaking,
pinch-hit liner over the Green
Monster in the eighth inning that
lifted the Yankees to a 3-2 win
over the Boston Red Sox.
But Rodriguez and the Yankees
appear to be on opposite sides of
the $6 million issue.
“I’m so in the moment right
now and really grateful and
appreciative to be playing baseball,” Rodriguez said. “Those
things will take care of themselves”
When he and the Yankees
negotiated a 10-year, $275 million contract in December 2007,
they also signed a separate $30

called for $6 million each for up
to five accomplishments, payable
within 15 days of designation by
the team. The accomplishments
were contemplated to be home
runs 660, 714, 755, 762 and
763.
But the Yankees are considering letting the milestones pass
without making a designation.
They’d likely say that Rodriguez’s
suspension all last season for
involvement in the Biogenesis
performance-enhancing
drug
scandal ruins the marketing possibilities for the milestones.
A failure to declare a milestone
and make a payment likely would
trigger a grievance on Rodriguez’s
behalf by the Major League
Baseball Players Association.
Barring a settlement, the case
would be heard by an arbitrator.
Yankees manager Joe Girardi
said he didn’t think that issue
would be a distraction to
Rodriguez.
“He’s so happy to be playing, I
think he’ll block it out,” Girardi
said.
Rodriguez wasn’t allowed to
play last year. He returned primarily as a designated hitter
while Chase Headley handled his
former spot at third base.
“I was in a cave in Miami, serv-
ing my time,” Rodriguez said. “I
am very thankful to the Yankees
and major league baseball for
allowing me to play this game.”
That’s a more conciliatory tone
than he took during his failed
fight to overturn his suspension
when he angered the Yankees by
suing, among others, the team
physician for the treatment of a
hip injury that resulted in surgery. The lawsuit was eventually
dropped.
After hitting No. 660, he praised
the Yankees, major league baseball, the Red Sox and even their
fans, who booed loudly when he
came to the plate and as he jogged
around the bases, expressionless,
after his shot to left.
“I usually don’t hear the difference” between boos when he
plays on the road in different stadiums, Rodriguez said with a
grin, “but that boo was pretty
intense. It was pretty passionate.”
With one out and the score tied
2-2, Rodriguez hit for Garrett
Jones and looked at three
straight balls from Junichi
Tazawa (0-1). Then the reliever
fired a 95 mph fastball right
down the middle. Rodriguez
didn’t miss.
“I hit that one good,” he said.
He slapped hands with his
first- and third-base coaches as
he circled the bases and with ondeck hitter Stephen Drew after
crossing the plate. His teammates stayed in the dugout. But
when he arrived there many of
them, and Girardi, high-fived
him. Some enthusiastically
slapped his back.
“I was hoping he would swing”
at the 3-0 pitch, Yankees starter
CC Sabathia said. “Everybody
was excited.”
Until then, Rodriguez had been
1 for 16 as a pinch hitter in his
career. That hit was a single.
Friday’s was much bigger. It
made a winner of Esmil Rogers
(1-1). Andrew Miller earned his
ninth save.
“Congratulations to Alex
Rodriguez on his 660th home
run,” Mays said in a statement.
“Milestones in baseball are meant
to be broken and I wish him continued success throughout his
career.”
When told of that, Rodriguez
appeared emotional and said, “I
love Willie. He’s one of my heroes.
I’m speechless.”
And, of course, his homer won
the game.
“I’m very excited,” he said. “A
year ago today I never thought I’d
be hitting home runs and helping
the Yankees win. Being in the
middle of it is fun again.”

drove in a pair of teammates by
ripping a double off the fence.
Walker Valley wrapped the

then came home on a ground out
by Bryan signee Lara Bean.
Raymond and Frost combined

just four Bradley hits — a single

Bradley bounced back with a
vengeance Saturday afternoon
against
crosstown
rival
Cleveland.
The Bearettes scored twice
while getting five hits in their
first half dozen hitters.
Grady and Harrison, who both
reached on infield hits, came
around to score, with the former
coming in on an error, while
Abernathy drove home her senior
classmate with a single.
The hosts tacked on a single
run in the third frame when
Abernathy singled again and
scored on a hit by Kallie
Hawkins.
The Black-and-Gold wrapped
up the game with a seven-run
fifth frame with Harrison blasting
the 20th home run of her high
school career, this for a grand
slam.
Sydney Morgan, who went 4for-4 in the contest, singled twice
in the inning, scoring the first
run when Cassidy Lewis was
plunked with the bases-loaded
and then driving in the gameender to plate Jenn Corbitt, who
had doubled.
Grady went 3-for-4, with a
double and a run scored.
Harrison went 2-for-3 with a
stolen base and two runs scored
to go with her four-run homer.
Abernathy went 2-for-4 with a
run and a RBI.
Pitching the first no-hitter of
her high school career, Katie
Davis struck out five and faced
just one batter over the minimum, issuing one free pass.
“I’ve been out of softball for
two years due to having broken
both my feet, but I’ve felt good
this year, especially today,” Davis
stated. “I didn’t really think
about the no-hitter, I just wanted
to do well.”
Allison Botts, who reached on
an error, and Brittany Arnold,
who drew a walk were the only
two Lady Raider base runners,
both in the fourth inning.

East Hamilton’s Tori Barnes

Both saved par from a bunker
on the par-3 17th to send it to the
18th hole, and the advantage was
with Fowler when he drilled his
tee shot in the middle. Oosthuizen
lost his tee shot to the right into
thick rough.
That’s where it all turned.

An empowering night, a heart
of hope, a voice of experience
N
o finer teacher is there than
life’s lessons; sometimes
they come to us from our
own experiences, and sometimes
they are the experiences of others.
When it is the voice of another
who has been there, done that and
who is willing to share for the betterment of the next generation, it is the
wise who will listen.
One of those voices is coming to
our Cleveland and Bradley County
community Thursday evening. And
it isn’t just a voice.
It is a survivor.
It is a mind.
It is a heart.
It is a soul.
It is a beacon of hope for those
who could use a little encouragement in their lives.
And it is a she.
Jackie Joyner-Kersee, one of the
most remarkable stories in the
grand history of Olympic competition, and in the compelling storybook of humanitarianism, will deliver the keynote address during the
fifth annual Empowering Women
gala, a much-admired fundraiser
that benefits an organization whose
good work is geared toward young
people at greatest risk — those
whose lives are being shaped at
the Boys & Girls Clubs of
Cleveland.
A six-time Olympic medalist —
three of them gold — in the excruciating heptathlon and the exhausting long jump, Jackie herself
attended a Boys & Girls Club as a
child in East St. Louis, Ill., an impoverished community and dangerous
neighborhood where any child born
was born into a life where opportunity was not equal and the odds
against success were great.
Named after former first lady
Jacqueline Kennedy, this tiny blessing grew and in growth she persevered. She learned. And she survived.
If ever there was a story of rags
to riches, it is the chapter in the
novel of life titled “Jackie JoynerKersee.” Yet, her riches are not the
wealth of material possessions nor
are they the overabundance of
bloated monetary accounts.
Instead, her riches are the treasures of the heart and the power of
the soul. Her lessons learned are
from the homework of life’s schooling.
And she’s bringing it all to
Cleveland. She will open her heart
to the people of Bradley County
and her message to all who will listen.
Through words, and through her
own learnings, she will pave a trail
of hope for our community’s — and
any community’s — most vulnerable members, our young people.
Befitting of the occasion,
Thursday evening’s gala — which
will be packed by a crowd of both
women and men — will also bring
recognition, and a needed voice, to
another group. We speak of the
young women of this community
who will become empowered to follow their own course in life, and to
do it unashamedly, without hesitation and without looking back.
Three women in particular will be
honored. They will be the recipients
of three community awards:
Empowering Woman of the Year,
Empowering Global Woman of the
Year and Empowering Woman
Youth of the Year.
At this time of year, every year,
we smile at the old time-tested
adage, “... Behind every successful
man is a woman.” While this may
be true in many instances — and it
is the good men who will acknowledge it — it doesn’t fairly portray the
influence of women in today’s
evolving world.
Society is changing.
Opportunity is growing.
Leadership is shifting.
Diversity is expanding.
This is the way it is. This is the
way it should be. This is the way it
should remain.
Initiatives like Empowering
Women, both in our community and
on a much broader scale, are
responsible for this evolution of
thought and this willingness to
change.
To grow the potential of a young
woman means reaching into the
heart of a little girl.
To grow the understanding of a
young man means molding the
mind of a little boy.
When this is done, and when it is
done right, life finds a way. It is a
world where men and women are
equals — in their eyes, in the eyes
of all who see and in the eyes of life.
But it must start early, a commitment that points to the relevance of
organizations like the Boys & Girls
Clubs of Cleveland.
Charlie Sutton, executive director
of the local nonprofit which is a
proud member agency of United
Way of Bradley County Inc., said it
best recently when he told our
newspaper, “I don’t think there is a
better time than right now for us to
address issues that girls are facing.
The gaps between lower-class
America and middle-class America
are still growing and our opportunity
to change that picture for those kids
is right now.”
We agree.
Sutton also pointed to the
emerging role of Empowering
Women in shaping the lives, and in
inspiring the dreams, of the little
girls and the young women of our
hometown.
“It benefits our girls in seeing they
have opportunities beyond the
Boys & Girls Clubs, and that they
can embrace a career like many of
the women who are involved, and
who are being recognized for being
a CEO of a company or some form
or fashion of leadership in our community,” he told Cleveland Daily
Banner senior staff writer Joyanna
Love, herself a young woman and
who will be providing our newspaper’s coverage of Thursday’s event.
Special guests like Jackie
Joyner-Kersee provide our young
people with a glimpse of the face of
opportunity, and a voice to deliver
its message.
That’s why she’s coming to
Cleveland.
Sutton said it best when he
offered, “What we want our kids to
do is to grow up and become great
citizens, great leaders. How do they
do that? They do that by getting a
different glimpse of life than maybe
they are accustomed to.”
At last report, Thursday’s gala —
which kicks off at 6 p.m. at
Cleveland Country Club — is practically sold out. However, those
hoping to grab a late ticket may try
by calling 423-902-3402.
The event will include both silent
and live auctions. And, at least until
8 p.m. on the night of the gala, an
online auction is also being offered
— especially for distant supporters
of Empowering Women who
believe in the cause but whose
physical distance is too great to
attend.
The online auction may be found
at www.32auctions.com/empoweringwomen.
It will be an exciting night, one
where inspiration will be the theme
and self-confidence will be the
prize.
For those who can attend
Empowering Women, please
attend.
For those who can believe in
making a difference, please
believe.
For those who can embrace the
potential of opportunity, please
embrace.
And for those who understand
the strength of reaching out, please
reach.
Such beliefs are not a burden.
Such beliefs are the root to empowerment.
We welcome Jackie JoynerKersee to our community!
May she enjoy her visit. May her
message stir the heart of those who
hear.

The nostalgia of an estate sale
Memories came alive for me at Day home
Estate sales can be sad — especially when
you know the previous property owner(s), and
understand the attachment each had to specific items.
This was true for me recently with the sale
of property that had belonged to Jo and
Conrad Day, and their daughter, golf champion Connie Day.
Connie and I were acquainted through our
golf games, and family. One of her uncles, on
the Seaton side, married my mother’s sister,
on the Collins side. They lived in Greeneville,
near my extended family.
I also covered many golf tournaments in
which Connie and her mother participated, as
a sportswriter in Maryville, Knoxville and
Chattanooga.
Conrad Day was an illustrator and penned
his editorial cartoons (“By Ned”) for the
Cleveland Daily Banner during and before I
came to Cleveland. They still reappear each
day.
Hundreds of those cartoons and illustrations were available for purchase at last weekend’s estate sale.
The three members of the Day family had
acquired hundreds of items over the years,
much to do with golf and others with a
Western theme. Most of the golf items marked
the history of a very talented athlete who, in
her prime, could have played with today’s
professionals.
Connie was among the best ever in
Tennessee, during the days of Betty Probasco,
Judy Eller Street, Ann Baker Furrow, and her
longtime Cleveland golfing companion Maggie
Scott. She won four state championships and
was runner-up three times.
Connie’s state championship trophies,
plaques and silverware were encased in a
cabinet in the small cabin where she lived
alongside her parents’ home. The championship plate she received when she won the
Mid Amateur championship in Minnesota was
included.
Perhaps the most impressive item to me,
although it would not be of great value to
most people, was a framed letter from the
Tennessee Women’s Golf Association. The letter, signed by the association’s board members, was written after Connie’s untimely
LOOKING BACK

death in 2002. It signified that the Tennessee
Senior Women’s Championship would be
named in Connie’s honor from that day forward.
This honor was a sample of the esteem her
peers, family, friends and business acquaintances felt for her. It was framed and located
in a place of honor by her mother.
Connie, and her mother, were exceptional
talents of outstanding character. It was sad
last weekend to see their keepsakes carried
away.
I can say the same for their husband and
father. Most of Conrad’s illustrations, and
other personal items, were long gone by late
Sunday evening.
I purchased very little, although I coveted a
number of items. Excessive prices limited my
participation.
I purchased one of Conrad’s book, which I
may use as the focus for a column in the
future.
I also purchased one of Connie’s books, an
example of her candid humor. The book was
titled, “All I know about golf,” by Connie Day.
It was filled with blank pages.
The book provided me with a smile, and
revived memories of golfing experiences with a
very special lady.
As we said above, estate sales can be sad.
But, if there are no personal connections they
can be an enjoyable adventure.
An estate sale or estate liquidation is a sale
or auction to dispose of a substantial portion
of the materials owned by a person who is
recently deceased, or who must dispose of his
or her personal property.
The most common reason for an estate sale
is the death of the property owner, and the
consequent need to quickly liquidate the
belongings for any number of reasons. They
include:
— The survivors/heirs may have no interest in the bulk of the personal belongings left
by the deceased;
— The survivors/heirs may simply lack
space to keep the belongings;
— The survivors/heirs cannot agree to the
disposition of tangible property, and thus a
court has ordered the goods to be sold in an
estate sale with the proceeds to be divided
among the survivors (after payment of the
estate's debts).
— The will of the deceased may have mandated a sale of assets; and
— An estate sale may also occur because
the property owner will be moving or has
moved into a new residence where he/she will
be unable to keep his property, such as an
assisted living facility, a retirement community, a rest home, or the home of a family member.
An estate sale may also take place because
of divorce, foreclosure or relocation.
Estate sales are usually conducted by a
professional, for a percentage of the revenues.
According to Wikipedia, the liquidator may
also charge the estate for the costs to conduct
the sale, including advertising, marketing,
research, labor, possible security, refreshments and other fees incurred in having a
successful sale.
The presence of a professional liquidator
may be necessary because the scope of the
process is likely to be overwhelming to the
survivors.
The liquidator has knowledge and experience with pricing items, and general value
knowledge of all types of household goods and
personal property. The specialist is experienced in disposing of unsold goods in an
unsentimental manner after the sale. These
professionals often take a percentage of the
net proceeds, anywhere from 25 percent to 50
percent
Since many people may attend, not all people may be able to fit into the confines of the
house or building at the same time.
Last weekend’s sale was crowded at times,
but overall attendance was moderate. Crowd
or no crowd, it was a sad time for me. Still, it
was a time to say a final farewell to old
friends.

Bull market reaches 6: Charging
hard or is it now out of control?
NEW YORK (AP) — In 2009 the
stock market was filled with
panic.
The housing market had collapsed. Lehman Brothers had
gone under and General Motors
was on the verge of bankruptcy
reorganization. The U.S. was in a
deep recession, and stocks had
plunged 57 percent from their
high in October 2007.
Fast forward six years, and
investors are enjoying one of the
longest bull markets since the
1940s.
The Standard & Poor’s 500
index has more than tripled since
bottoming out at 676.53 on
March 9, 2009. The bull has
pushed through a U.S. debt crisis, an escalating conflict in the
Middle East, renewed tensions
with Russia over Ukraine and
Europe’s stagnating economy.
So has this bull run its course?
Most market strategists haven’t
yet seen the signs that typically
accompany a market peak.
Investors are yet to become rash,
or overconfident.
“Bull markets end not because
they grow old. They end because
some excesses build,” says
Stephen Freedman, head of
cross-asset strategy at UBS
Wealth Management.
Here are questions and
answers about the run-up in
stocks:
Q: Why do stocks keep rising?
A: It’s a powerful combination
of higher corporate profits and a
growing economy.
The main driver is company
earnings. Companies slashed
costs in response to the Great
Recession that began in
December 2007. That helped
boost profit margins when
demand began to recover. As a
result, earnings per share have
risen consistently since the end of
the
recession
in
2009.
Companies in the S&P 500 are
forecast to generate record earnings of $119.35 per share this
year, nearly double what they
earned in 2009.
Hiring is picking up and costs
are down, and that means
Americans are more confident
about the economy than at any
time since the recession.
Unemployment has fallen to 5.5
percent from a peak of 10 percent
in 2009. A plunge in the price of
oil has pushed down gas prices
and put more money in
Americans’ pockets. Most economists forecast growth of more
than 3 percent this year.
As investors become more confident about growth, they’re willing to pay more for stocks. The
average price-to-earnings ratio
for an S&P 500 company, which
measures how much investors
are willing to pay for every dollar
in earnings, stands at 17.2. Six
years ago, it was 11.
Q: What role has the Federal
Reserve played?
The Federal Reserve has held
its main lending rate close to zero
since 2008. It has bought trillions
of dollars in bonds to help hold
down long-term interest rates. By
cutting rates, policymakers have
encouraged businesses and consumers to borrow and spend.
The historically low interest
rates in the bond market have
also made stocks look more
attractive in comparison.
The average dividend yield, a
measure of a company’s stock
price compared to the dividend it
pays, is 2.06 percent for S&P 500
Dear Annie: I am 63, and my
husband, “Jake,” is 67. Jake has
been watching a lot of pornography. He lies over and over about
how he is no longer doing it, and
I slowly forgive him. But years
have gone by, and I keep catching
him through the history on his
computer. He’ll deny it until I
show him the proof, and even
then, he tries to squirm out of it.
I’m pretty sure Jake is
ashamed of this, but why can’t he
stop? He has tried counseling. I
feel so much anger and disgust.
Do I have to accept him as he is?
— No One To Share This With
Dear No One: A lot of men like
to look at pornography. The problem with Internet porn is that it is
interactive and addictive. It’s not
so easy to stop. And if Jake is
retired and spending a lot of time
at home, the lure of the computer
is hard to resist.
We will assume that Jake has a
satisfying sex life with you, making the pornography more habit
than substitute. We also trust
that Jake is not contacting any of
the women (a more serious problem). So talk to him about voluntarily curtailing his activities by
putting a lock on the computer or
making porn sites inaccessible so
he isn’t tempted. You can sweetly
explain how disturbing his porn
viewing is to you and how it
makes you feel. But in the end,
you must decide what you can
tolerate. For a start, we suggest
you stop snooping in his browser
history. You’ll sleep better.
stocks. The yield on the ultra-safe
10-year Treasury note is 2.24
percent.
“Essentially, by investing in the
S&P, you’re getting the same yield
as you would on a Treasury,”
says Marco Pinto a portfolio manager at Janus. “But you have ...
the upside of stocks moving higher as companies grow their earnings.”
Low rates will likely help lift
stocks for some time to come.
While investors say there is a
chance that the Fed may raise
rates as soon as June, few expect

Giving a shout-out to a special lady named Jackie
“It’s important to me to try and expose
young people to the things they believe
are off-limits to them. I tell them, ‘There
are no walls, only the ones we put up.’
My advice to young people looking at my
life is not to follow my footprint but to go
out there and make their own.”
— Jackie Joyner-Kersee
Retired U.S. athlete
(b. March 3, 1962)
———
As a former heptathlete, I never
enjoyed the same level of success on a
global scale — nor local, county,
regional, state or backyard — as did
Jackie Joyner-Kersee, a beautiful lady
who did remarkable things in track
and field in the ’80s and ’90s.
Anybody who loves the Olympiad
well remembers her much-decorated
exploits in a storybook career that
spanned four Olympic competitions, as
well as a slew of other international
showcases like the Goodwill Games,
Pan-American Games and World
Championships
In the Olympics alone, Jackie collected six medals: three golds, one silver and two bronze. Her athletic
prowess came in the excruciating heptathlon — a seven-event competition;
hence, the Greek prefix “hepta” — as
well as the gravity-defying long jump.
In short, Jackie was one heckuva
long jumper. In that event, she struck
Olympic gold in 1988 Seoul, and
bronze in 1992 Barcelona and 1996
Atlanta; and, she earned World
Championship gold in 1987 Rome and
1991 Tokyo.
And in the heptathlon, she just
about won everything everywhere
against everybody. But for those into
numbers and dates, this American
golden girl won Olympic gold in 1988
Seoul and 1992 Barcelona, silver in
1984 Los Angeles, and bronze in 1992
Barcelona and 1996 Atlanta. She
added World Championship gold in
1987 Rome and 1993 Stuttgart (that’s

Jackie Joyner-kersee
in southwest Germany; I didn’t know it
either until Googling.)
Frankly, it tires me out just typesetting all these accolades. My fingers
need a break. Maybe I’ll leave work
early this afternoon.
But first, here’s the skinny on
Jackie. She’s coming to Cleveland.
Yes, you read that right. This retired
international superstar, who was born
March 3, 1962, in East St. Louis, Ill.,
is delivering the keynote address to
this year’s Empowering Women, a popular community fundraiser that supports Boys & Girls Clubs of Cleveland.
That should come as no surprise.
After hanging up her track shoes for
good sometime around the turn of the
century, Jackie redirected her focus
from athletics to philanthropy. In the
past 15 years, she has become a voice
of inspiration, a founder of Foundation
support and a springboard for action
for anyone who struggles in day-to-day
battles with the game called life.
More about Empowering Women,
and Jackie, in a minute.
For now, I’d better go ahead and
explain the opening five words to this
column: “As a former heptathlete, I ...”
Some might be scratching your
heads and asking, “Huh?”
It’s a legitimate scratch.
But yes, it’s true. I am a former,
one-time heptathlete. But my competition differed greatly from Jackie’s. In
hers, this American lady of grace
blazed the field in events like 100meter hurdles, high jump, shot put,
200-meter sprint, long jump, javelin
throw and 800-meter run.
While still excruciating in its own
way, my lone stint as a heptathlete
came in 1976 as a junior at The
University of Tennessee at Martin. The
event wasn’t sanctioned by the university nor by the NCAA. The event wasn’t
sanctioned at all.
As one of the editors on the staff of
the UTM student newspaper — called
“The Pacer” — some of us guys chose
to kill a little time in between weekly
editions by creating a heptathlon of
our own. Taking Title IX seriously, we
opened the competition to the ladies
on the staff as well. None accepted;
each mumbled something about “...
having work to do and a newspaper to
put out.” Probably just as well. I would
have finished even lower on the leaderboard.
Keep in mind. In 1976, we had
never heard of Jackie Joyner-Kersee.
As a 14-year-old surviving the troubled streets of East St. Louis, I suspect she had never heard of us. She
probably still hasn’t.
Had she been allowed to compete in
our heptathlon, my brief career would
have become even briefer.
Years later, while Jackie was toiling
with all the running and jumping and
throwing in her heptathlon, we
Woodward and Bernstein wannabes
years earlier were making our mark on
excellence in office golf, garbage-can
basketball, ping pong, darts, speed
typing, umbrella throw and desk-top
tennis.
Sure, smirk if you must. Chuckle if
you will. But our heptathlon was serious business.
The tension was unbelievable. The
pressure was unreal.
Once, the rivalries approached a
boiling point — in the speed typing
event — when an underclassman
trash-talked an assignments editor.
Let me tell you, things got ugly in a
hurry. But, in the end sportsmanship
prevailed and they shook hands once
the old manual Royals finally fell
silent.
Another chest-thumping between
office leviathans occurred in garbagecan basketball. The rules were clear.
All competitors tossed using the same
wads of paper. No substitutes. A features writer charged a copy-reader
with smuggling in his own wrinkled-up
rolls that were bigger and easier to
handle. Near bedlam ensued.
Sadly, there was no such thing as
instant replay in ’76. The scuffle almost
took out two cluttered desks and a
lamp. But peace was restored without
ejections. However, one was suspended
from the coming 1977 Games.
Not especially talented at any one
event — at least, not like Jackie who
was great at them all — I did have a
run of success in the umbrella throw
(which, like a javelin, was thrown like
a spear). I might have won this individual competition, but on my final
throw the parasol opened in midflight
and fell harmlessly to the ground,

Latin honors announced
Once again Bradley High Shool students
crowned themselves with laurels at the eighth
annual state convention of the Junior Classical
League, held on the Vanderbilt campus in
Nashville in spring 1964.
The 31 Bradley Latin students won the second-place trophy, bowing only to Millsboro
High, which took first place with a mere 10
points more than the Bradley delegation.
The Latin examinations were divided into four
categories: Latin language, Latin derivation,
Roman life and History and Roman mythology.
In those exams Bradley students copped four
of the top awards: Laura Kinsey, first place in
derivation for Latin I; Cissy Tidwell and Judy
Hardwick, took first and second place in Latin II
derivation; and Judy Crumbliss, first in Roman
mythology for Latin III.
Judy had completed two years of Latin and
since no courses in third and fourth year Latin
were offered at Bradley, she studied "on her
own." State judges allowed her to compete with
the Latin III students. Her first-place award was
a double honor.
Gary Fletcher won first place for his six-footsquare mural depicting the mythical struggle
between Hercules and Hydras, the multiheaded
serpent. Gary was a member of the junior class
at Bradley, was president of the local JCL, and
was selected state parliamentarian at the convention.

'Twas soggy, indeed’
April showers in 1964 inundated Bradley
County with a record rainfall.
At least it was in the minds of the county's
official U. S. Weather recorders — Howard
Caywood and J.L. Parker of the Cleveland
Wastewater Treatment Plant.
Rainfall for April, their records showed, was
12.40 inches. "I don't remember any month
with as much as 12 inches," Parker said.
But a soggy April was not far ahead of gusty
March in total precipitation. The windy month
had 11.10 inches of rain.
The wettest day was April 28, when an even
2 inches of rain swamped the county in five
hours and brought flood-like conditions.
If you thought that was a lot of water, the
weather records showed that it rained 5.36
inches March 12, 1963 — more than double
what Bradley county received on April 28!
The normal annual precipitation for
Tennessee, based on records compiled over a
30-year period of 1921 to 1950, was (at that
time) 45.37 inches.
FFA degrees awarded
Thirty-five Bradley Future Farmers of
America members received the Chapter
Farmers degree that year (1964) at the
Chapter meeting at Bradley Central High
School.
They included the following:
Donny Bell, Ralph Brock, Dannie Buckner,
Dwight Burk, Charles Deal, Donald Easterly,
Miles Oates, Larry Gibby, Billy Hamilton,

thereby greatly shortening the distance
of what could have become a record
heave.
Bowing my head, beads of sweat
dangling from my brows, I anguished
in this agony of defeat.
In the end, I did not medal. But
that’s OK. I was never a great athlete,
not even Office Class.
But Jackie Joyner-Kersee was. This
lady of the grand smile was World
Class. And she proved it just about
every time she stepped into the arena
of competition — whether on the track
at her UCLA alma mater, the Olympics
or the World Championships.
She was also a class act. I believe
that’s what endeared her to America
the most.
Back in those ’80s and ’90s, I used
to enjoy watching her compete. Like
anybody else, I marveled at her athleticism and often wondered what it
would be like to be so gifted.
Obviously, I’ll never know; at least,
not in this life.
But success is measured in many
ways. And with Jackie Joyner-Kersee,
it’s not just the athleticism, the world
records and all the shining medals.
It’s also about giving back.
That’s the Jackie we know today.
That’s the Jackie who’s coming to
Cleveland to empower those who have
earned the opportunity — women,
young people, boys and girls — to

Today’s
Highlight
in
History:
On May 3, 1765, the first
school of medicine in the
American colonies, the Medical
School of the College of
Philadelphia (now the Perelman
School of Medicine at the
University of Pennsylvania), was
founded.
On this date:
In 1515, Pope Leo X promulgated the bull “Inter sollicitudines” allowing the Catholic
Church to review and censor
books.
In 1791, Poland adopted a
national constitution.
In 1802, Washington D.C. was
incorporated as a city.
In 1916, Irish nationalist
Padraic Pearse and two others
were executed by the British for
their roles in the Easter Rising.
In 1933, Nellie T. Ross became
the first female director of the
U.S. Mint.
In 1945, during World War II,
Allied
forces
recaptured
Rangoon (Yangon) from the
Japanese.
In 1952, the Kentucky Derby
was televised nationally for the
first time on CBS; the winner
was Hill Gail.
In 1960, the Harvey SchmidtTom Jones musical “The
Fantasticks” began a nearly 42year run at New York’s Sullivan
Street Playhouse.
In 1975, America’s oldest
operational aircraft carrier, the
USS Nimitz, was commissioned.
In 1979, Conservative Party
leader Margaret Thatcher was
chosen to become Britain’s first
female prime minister as the
Tories ousted the incumbent
Labor government in parliamentary elections.
In 1986, in NASA’s first post-
Challenger
launch,
an
unmanned Delta rocket lost
power in its main engine shortly
after liftoff, forcing safety officers to destroy it by remote control.
In 1999, some 70 tornadoes
roared across Oklahoma and
Kansas, killing 46 people and
injuring hundreds.
Ten years ago: The first democratically elected government
in the history of Iraq was sworn
in. Iran told a United Nations
nonproliferation conference it
would press on with its uranium-enrichment technology.
Five years ago: BP declared it
would pay all “legitimate and
objectively verifiable” claims
related to the Gulf of Mexico oil
spill. Faisal Shahzad, who later
admitted to an attempted car
bombing in Times Square, was
apprehended aboard a flight
preparing to depart New York for
Dubai.
and nothing else that determines
the sex of a child. The woman
has absolutely no control over
the baby’s sex — either before,
during or after conception.
It is surprising how many people are not aware of this basic
biological fact. — B.B.G. in New
Haven, Conn.
Dear New Haven: Some folks
are still ignorant on the subject,
but others are determined to
blame the woman regardless of
what anyone tells them. This
misogynistic bullying has been
around for eons and provides
an excuse to abuse women —
not that abusers need an
excuse.
We hope your letter helps even
one person understand that the
gender of a baby is not a “flaw”
and that it has nothing to do with
the mother in any event.

From Page 22
Dear Annie: Over the years,
I’ve seen letters regarding women
who are bullied by husbands or
mothers-in-law for giving birth to
a girl instead of a boy. In much of
the world, women are still physically and mentally abused for
having given birth to the “wrong”
sex. They are ostracized, and
some are even killed.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Golfer says
Waterville
in shambles
I wasn’t a member. I was just
a player who showed up maybe
once a week in the spring, summer and fall, and played 28-35
rounds a year.
I always played on Veterans
Day, since I am retired from the
U.S. Navy, and I really appreciated the free round on that day.
My wife just got back into the
game and often played with me.
We found Waterville a great
alternative to the crowds at
Chatata Valley, and it was close.
Waterville is slightly smaller
than most courses, and only
has three or four sand traps.
This makes it a great course for
the senior and youth populations in our area. And after
years of tribulation and lots of
taxpayer money, the new
greens, irrigations systems, cart
path upgrades and the new
bathrooms on the back nine,
Waterville was ready for a stellar
summer of golf in 2015.
That is when the Cleveland
City Council gave up and tried
to lease it out. When it was
poised to make money for the
first time since they broke
ground for the Route 60 expansion, the City Council gives up
and only has to decide whether
to sell it or lease it. At least,
they decided to lease it.
But apparently, even this was
done poorly. GSP Business
Alliance LLC, operated by a Mr.
Rocky Morgan, was given the
lease at $60,000 a year; plus, he
was supposed to also assume
the lease on the Yamaha carts.
He was supposed to take over
the course on March 1, 2015.
About the middle of March,
when he did not show, the city
had trouble getting hold of him.
He finally was reached and said
he was having trouble getting
insurance due to the wellheads
on the property. The city finally
put a 60-day warning on his
company that if GSP did not
show, the city would negate the
lease. No one seems to know
what they would do if he failed
to show.
So far, as of the last week of
April, no GSP, no Rocky
Morgan, save for a single sign
announcing the new management at the entrance walk of the
course. In the meantime, the
new greens came in wonderfully, the fairways continue to get
higher and higher, and sadly the
course is starting to return to
nature.
For all of us golfers who really
loved the closeness and friendliness of Waterville, and the
improvements made, thanks.
Thanks,
Cleveland
City
Council, for giving up at the
very moment when you were
poised to put the course back in
black. Thanks for the poor
management, poor vetting in the
leasing process, and thanks for
taking Waterville to the brink of
being just another lost
Municipal Golf course.
Just as golf is making its
rebound from the post-Tiger
era, and a new cadre of superstars for the young to follow are
now here, you gave up. And
gave up on what had become
one of the nicer beginners and
seniors courses I’ve seen in
quite a few years of my 58 years
of playing golf.

Writer says
wheel tax
questionable
To The Editor:
This letter is written because
of the “$30 wheel tax” article on
the front page of the April 28,
2015, issue of the Daily Banner.
In essence, the wheel tax suggestion would propose that a
county resident near Charleston
should be charged a tax to support a requirement that would
only benefit the staff, parents
and children at Lake Forest
[Middle] School.
The fairness of this kind of
taxation is admittedly arguable.
I will go no further with this
issue; but rather, because of it,
strongly urge the county and
the state of Tennessee to incorporate within their development
review and approval process,
and requirements, the notion of
“concurrency.”
Simply stated, concurrency
requires that all necessary public service and facility improvements (schools, public safety,
water, sewer, traffic, etc.) due to
the impact of a development, be
in place and available, or funded through escrow of funds,
“concurrent” with final approval
of any new development.
Development, in this case,
means anything within the
spectrum of a single-family residence (on the low end) to an
Amazon warehouse, mixed-use
like Spring Creek or auto manufacturing (on the high end).
Concurrency, of course, puts
the economic onus on the developer (where it belongs) and not
on the existing county taxpayers (where it does not belong).
I worked as a principal planner for the Polk County, Fla.,
Department of Community
Development for many years.
The state of Florida, and the
county, require special review of
any development of regional
impact, such as an auto manufacturing plant or a large,
mixed-use development; and
requires that concurrency be
met for all development review
and subsequent approval.
Think about it.

Bunnies need special care
By Sue LittLe
During the Easter season too
many well-meaning people give
adorable baby bunnies as pets.
Then, for a few weeks these bunnies are probably kept indoors.
But as the weather gets warmer
too often bunnies are put outside
in a hutch or given away or even
abandoned in woods.
This is a sad fate for innocent,
helpless rabbits.
As Lynn Gobble, an animal rescuer of many years, emphasizes,
“Bunnies are not stuffed animals.
They need regular, specialized
care and they should always be
indoor pets. They should not be
adopted on a whim at Easter to
give to those who know nothing of
rabbits’ needs. Rabbits are actually high-maintenance animals
that should never be kept in a
boring cage.”
Lynn and her husband who
also have much-loved, rescued
dogs, cats, ferrets and horses,
have had rabbits as indoor pets
through the years. Their current
much-loved rabbit, named Baby
Bean, is an indoor family member
who has a favorite habit “of jumping on the coffee table to view all
that is going on around the house.
Baby Bean roams free in our
home as part of our family. When
we come home, he is there to greet
us. I can’t imagine keeping a rabbit in a cage. That would be like
putting them in prison,” said the
caring lady.
She explains that rabbits “love
toys and their toys don’t have to
be fancy. Two of Baby Bean’s
favorite toys are wadded up paper
bags and cardboard boxes. By
playing with the bags and boxes,
he gets some of the exercise that
all rabbits need.
This also keeps him occupied,
which prevents him from chewing
wires or other harmful items. You
do have to rabbit-proof your
home. To illustrate this fact, Lynn
notes “Baby Bean once chewed
the wires of my lap-top computer!”
She strongly urges anyone who
gets a rabbit as a four-legged family member to “get that bunny
spayed or neutered. This not only
prevents unwanted bunnies from
being born into our crowded world
but it also helps prevents certain
cancers in rabbits and keeps them
from spraying,” she explained.
To satisfy Baby Bean’s need to
chew, she gives him unsprayed
apple tree wood, “available at
most pet stores, and sisal rope. I
also give him puzzle toys such as
niblets with alfalfa rings in the
holes and grass that I know for
certain has not been sprayed with
pesticides or anything else, and
that has no dog urine on it.”
“As for nutritious foods, it is
important for rabbits to have a
high protein diet with not much
fat in it. I give Baby Bean kale two
or three times a day, along with
sliced fruit from an apple or pear
or, for a vegetable, cherry tomatoes.
chriStoPher FlowerS’ feline companion
had passed away a few years ago. He felt it was
now time for a new “fur kid.” He visited the Ark and
spent time with Heaven, a young tabby. Flowers

rabbits should be kept indoors," Lynn emphasizes.
visit Petco and use the “Think Adoption First”
coupons.
KriStie linKouS was looking for a companion for her senior dog. After spending time at the
Ark with Lilly, she returned to review veterinary
records and complete the adoption contract. On
her Facebook page, Linkous noted Lilly “is doing
great. Her name is now Gracie, and she is so
well-behaved. She is quiet in her crate and rarely
makes a noise. I love her. Thanks so much."
John anderSon saw
Sampson on Petfinder.com; however, when he visited the Ark, he
bonded with a beagle cross
named Snoopy. After considering
the decision, Anderson reviewed
Snoopy’s veterinary records and
completed an adoption contract.
The two posed for a “New beginnings” photo prior to heading to
Petco to use the “Think Adoption
First” coupon book.
John BiVenS, animal control
officer at the municipal Cleveland
Animal Shelter, gave special
attention to Samson, 2, a lovable
brown and white Shepherd-mix,
now available for adoption along
with many other wonderful shelter pets. The shelter is located at
360 Hill St., off Inman Street
Shelter hours are weekdays, 11
a.m. to 5 p.m.; and Saturdays, 10
a.m. to noon.
“He likes timothy hay. Alfalfa is
too rich to feed too much of it. I
also may feed a little bit of tiny
carrots with tops left on them.
Never feed apple seeds,” she
stressed.
She added that she orders “a lot
food online with Drs. Foster &
Smith because their foods, such
as hay, have no pesticides used on
them, which makes them completely healthy.”
How long can a well-cared for
rabbit live?
“Usually to the age of 10 or 12
years old, if they have annual veterinary check-ups and a caring
home with good food and plenty of
space to play,” she said.

male tabby cat who seemed to

coordinator, was making their

Rabbit Rescue in Franklin (615473-1803 or 615-715-6144) and
Hops and Lops Tennessee Rabbit
Rescue (731-220-0330).
As Lynn emphasized, “Rabbits
are wonderful indoor pets but
adopters need to be aware that
they need a lot of loving indoor
care and space to run and play. If
you can give them that, they will
stay happy and healthy, and you
will have a delightful four-legged
family member as your own!” she
concluded.

Banner Sports Writer
A unique double signing took
place at Bradley Central earlier
in the week, as both Chanler
Grady and Luke Rymer signed
with Bryan College for volleyball.
For Grady, who split her time
between the volleyball court and
softball diamond, the opportunity to play for Bryan was only
sweetened by her overall opinion of the school.
“I really like their Christ-centered campus and the campus
itself was also very pretty. They
have a very good program in my
major, which is early childhood
education, so that was one of
the big deciding factors,” Grady
stated.
The soon-to-be Lady Lion
served at setter and defensive
specialist during her time at
Bradley. In total, Grady had 37
kills, 766 digs, 172 aces and
393 assists.
“I think she’ll be a great fit at
Bryan. She’s such a hard worker and has a love for the sport
and a lot of passion,” Bearettes
coach Christie McElhaney
described. “She’s very versatile
and is more (focused on) the
team than she is on herself. At
times, she transferred from setter to DS for me and gave 110
percent. She’ll do the same for
Bryan.”
According to Bryan coach
David Shumaker, Grady was
the ideal signee for multiple reasons.
“She’s a really great fit for the
school and that’s something
that we believe firmly in when it
comes to recruiting,” Shumaker
explained. “Chanler is an
extremely hardworking athlete
and the position that she plays
is a very high-skill one. Her
hard work on the court and setting abilities really set her apart.
She’s overall a great player who
brings some high energy and
has the potential to be a really
good leader for our program.”
On the other side of the spectrum was Rymer’s signing,
which marked the third for
Byran’s inaugural men’s volleyball team.
“We had a men’s volleyball
club and we will be moving it up
to an NAIA varsity program this
fall. We’ll be competing with
three other teams in our conference and then other NCAA and
NAIA schools throughout the
Southeast,” Shumaker detailed.

The German lost the 2013 final
to compatriot Tommy Haas.
Earlier Saturday, Murray rallied to beat Lukas Rosol 4-6, 6-3,
6-2 in their rain-postponed quarterfinal. Murray converted five of
his 14 break opportunities and
served five aces against the
Czech.
The third-seeded Bautista Agut
defeated Victor Estrella Burgos of
the Dominican Republic 4-6, 6-0,
6-0 for his semifinal place.
Kohlschreiber defeated fourthseeded David Goffin of Belgium
2-6, 6-3, 6-4 and Melzer defeated
Dominic Thiem of Austria 7-6 (5),
3-6, 6-3 to set up the other semifinal.
The quarterfinals were washed
out by rain on Friday, forcing
Murray to play three matches
Saturday. The world No. 3 also
had a doubles semifinal with
Jean-Julien Rojer but lost 6-3, 62 against Alexander Peya and
Bruno Soares.
Peya and Soares will play
German brothers Alexander and
Mischa Zverev in Sunday’s final.

“We have six guys on campus
who are a part of the program
now. We’re going to try to build
that up to 12 or 14 for this fall.”
Rymer, who played basketball
for Bradley, grew up around volleyball as his older sister, Kayla,
participated in sport. Kayla is
currently a junior at Bryan and
plays volleyball for the school as
well.
“I’ve been around volleyball
my whole life and my sister really pushed me to come up and
try out. I went up there for the
tryout and the coach liked me
and felt that I had a good fundamental background,” the
younger Rymer stated. “My only
experience is really just from
going out and playing some volleyball with my sister. I’m a little
nervous but am hoping to get
up there and do all right.”
It was Rymer’s athleticism
and background that influenced
the Lions coach, who sees him
playing at right side or middle
hitter.
“Luke has grown up around
volleyball, and while he is a little
bit low on experience, he has the
potential to be a great player.”
While at Bryan, Rymer plans
to major in business management.

Oosthuizen kept a 5-wood in
his bag this week for shots like
this. Enough of the ball was showing for him to get the club on it,
and he smacked one hard and
straight. The ball landed about 20
yards short of the green and
stopped about 20 feet behind the
hole for an eagle opportunity.
Fowler followed with his worst
swing of the day, sending it so far
right that it found an island of
grass so deep that he could only
advance it about 20 feet into more
rough. He barely got that one onto
the green, missed his par putt
and conceded the eagle to
Oosthuizen.
In other matches:
— Danny Willett won the battle
of Blighty with a late surge to beat
Lee Westwood of England.
Westwood made only two birdies,
none after the sixth hole. Willett,
making his debut in the Match
Play Championship, closed him
out, 3 and 2.
— Tommy Fleetwood finally got
a break. He only had to play 17
holes. The Englishman had played
58 holes in three matches of
group play to narrowly advance,
and then he seized control around
the turn against Branden Grace.
Fleetwood won the ninth and 10th
holes with par to go 3 up, and they
halved the last six holes. Next up
is an all-England quarterfinal

Revolutionary new hearing aid

Sleep apnea testing
can be done at home
By JOYANNA LOVE
Banner Senior Staff Writer
Trouble sleeping can wreck a person’s day even before it
gets started.
As technology develops, more convenient and less expensive ways are being developed to diagnose sleep disorders.
Among these advancements is an in-home option for sleep
apnea testing.
Cindy Cochran, a certified clinical sleep health educator,
said there are two types of sleep apnea. In one, the person
only partially stops breathing. In the other, the person completely stops breathing for a short period of time.
Symptoms that may indicate sleep apnea include tiredness, snoring and weight gain. She said many people have
been diagnosed through their spouse recommending they
get tested.
Cochran said the in-home sleep study uses a monitor
worn around the chest to monitor breathing, heart rate,
pulse and the body position
“It’s hooked on a little belt that is around the rib cage,
and then everything hooks in to that little belt. The next day
I download it onto the computer,”
Cochran said.
Unlike a sleep lab facility, the inhome study does not monitor brain
waves.
“In a lab,

they can look

disorders that you show signs of” in
Cochran
narrowing down a patient’s sleep
problems.
“In a lab, they can look for all the
sleep disorders. At home it is strictly
for sleep apnea,” Cochran said.
The in-home lab also eliminates a sleepless night due to a
person not being able to fall asleep in new surroundings.
Cochran said this is referred to as a “first night effect.”
Cochran will begin offering the in-home testing on June 1
under the supervision of Ahmad Ibrahimbacha, M.D. A
referral from a physician is not required.
Cochran said there has to be at least a 3 to 4 percent
decrease in breathing for it to count as an event, under
most insurance guidelines determining if a patient has sleep
apnea.
To account for the fact that people do not fall asleep right
away, Cochran said she does not count the first 20 minutes
of data.
“As long as we wind up with three to four hours of good
data, then that’s considered a good test,” Cochran said.
She said good data is produced when the equipment is
working properly.
“Any time any part of the equipment’s not working, that’s
bad data,” Cochran said.
She also said with some insurance it is much simpler to
get approved for the at-home test than the in lab.
After Cochran processes and reviews the data Dr.
Ibrahimbacha, a board-certified expert on sleep, does a final
review.
“The problem is the labs are so busy, patients are falling
through the cracks,” Cochran said.
She said the same is true for the medical equipment companies that sell the continuous air pressure equipment to
treat sleep apnea. She said the medical equipment companies do not follow up with patients to make sure they are
using the equipment correctly.
As a certified clinical sleep health educator, Cochran will
contact patients periodically for a year, if they are set up
with a continuous air pressure machine.
Cochran said she wore the machine for a few years to
treat her own sleep issues.
The sleep study will cost $350, as opposed to $6,000 to
$8,000 at a sleep lab. Most health insurance is accepted for
the in-home study.
“That’s why this has been primarily insurance driven,”
Cochran said.
If the in-home study data show that a person has sleep
issues but not sleep apnea, an in–lab test will be required.
If the results are not positive for sleep apnea but do seem
to indicate other issues, the patient may be asked to keep a
two-week sleep journal to determine the issue.
“It’s something different. Sleep is the fastest-changing
field, Cochran said. “Every patient is so different.” She said
she enjoyed being able to help people feel better.

There are almost 50 million
Americans who are suffering
from some type of hearing loss,
according to the Hearing Health
Foundation website.
Those with hearing loss
include 1 in 5 teenagers and 1 in
3 people 65 and older. About 14
perent of those ages 45 to 64
have some type of hearing loss.
However, only about 25 percent of Americans actually get
hearing aids, according to
Jennifer Carson, director of
business development in the
local region of Beltone.
She noted Beltone is celebrating its “75th anniversary this
year. It is the longest running
hearing aid company in the
U.S.”
She noted there are so many
devices that go in the ear now
and most people do not understand how sound levels impact
your hearing.
As an example, Carson noted
she has a daughter who goes
around with earbuds.
“If I can hear the music outside the earbuds, I tell her to
turn it down.”
Since high noise levels can
cause long-term hearing loss, it
is recommended that individuals
learn “proper ear protection.”
Beltone recommends putting
a “physical distance between
you and the loud noise. If possi-

buds, keep the volume low-tomedium.”
The company has recently
launched its Beltone First,
which is a hearing aid made for
use with iPhone devices.
Through coding the First connects apps through the hearing
aid. The “accompanying Beltone
HearPlus app lets users set preferred volume levels as well as
treble/bass settings,” according
to Carson.
The app also allows its wearers to adjust to the acoustics of
their surroundings at work,
home, restaurants or wherever.
The First incorporates the app
in the hearing aid. It is really a
“hearing aid capable of streaming high-quality stereo sound”
from various iPhone, iPad and
iPod apparatuses,” Carson said.
She said it is an “amazing
technology.”
“The primary function of the
First is to be a hearing aid,” she
said. “It’s a sophisticated hearing aid with a dual processor.
She noted it is the “smallest
wireless
receiver-in-the-ear”
hearing aid which can “fit up to
90 percent of any hearing loss.”
The First is a small device
with a tube that runs into the
ear. It is barely visible.
If you have the app hooked up
in the car and you want to
answer the phone, you are hearing “stereo sound.” With a regu-
lar phone, you will be hearing
only through one ear.
“If you have First, and you
answer the phone, it goes to
both of your ears,” Carson
explained.
Jack Green, a local resident
who has his First for about six
months, said he knew his hearing was getting worse.
He was having trouble hearing
what his wife and children were
saying. “I could not pick up anything.
“I still don’t catch everything,
but I catch most,” he said.
With this new hearing aid, “I
go outside at night and I can
hear the birds ... before I did not
pay attention to them. But now
they are just chirping.”
Carson said her grandmother
uses the iPhone as a remote
microphone. She puts it on the
desk as the preacher is speaking.
She can sit at the back of the
church and still hear everything
because her iPhone is acting as
a remote for her hearing aids.
Jeremy Jones, the local hearing care specialist, explained the
Bluetooth Smart technology lets
“it adjust itself.... You are able to
hear the full sentences and not
miss out on the things that are
going around you.”
“Think about hearing aids as
a big thing in the 1980s that you
had to turn inside your ear (to
adjust the hearing) ... but technology has come a long way.”
Another function the First
incorporates is a finder so you
can locate the hearing aids when
you have mislaid them.
Jones noted there is no cost
for evaluation or consultation at
Beltone.
How do you know you may
need a hearing aid? If people
have their backs to you and you
cannot understand them, you
may have a hearing loss.
Other symptoms of hearing
loss are “muffled hearing”; difficulty understanding what is
being said, especially where
more than one voice is being
heard; difficulty
distinguishing specific words; listening to
radio, television or devices with
the volume on high; or a ringing,
roaring, hissing or buzzing in
the ears.
Jones said Beltone has no
charge for evaluation or consultation.
He noted “hearing aids can
offer improvement for individuals with hearing loss.”
There are
17 offices (East
Tennessee and North Georgia) in
the local Beltone group, but
there are more than 1,500
offices nation wide.
Beltone is located at 1520

Mammograms in 40s a choice, but don’t skip at 50
WASHINGTON (AP) — Women
should get a mammogram every
two years starting at age 50 —
and while routine screening
brings little benefit in the 40s,
beginning it that early should be a
personal choice, a government
task force said Monday.
Also, there’s not enough evidence to tell if new 3-D mammograms are the best option for routine screening, or if women with
dense breasts need extra testing
to find hidden tumors, the U.S.
Preventive Services Task Force
concluded.
The draft advice issued Monday
is largely a rewording of the task
force’s controversial 2009 recommendation that drew protests for
questioning the usefulness of
mammograms in the 40s. The
American Cancer Society has long
recommended annual mammograms starting at age 40 and
while insurance usually pays for
them, experts feared the dueling
guidelines would confuse the
public.
In reviewing its recommendation this time around, the government advisory panel is stressing
that 40-somethings need to weigh
the pros and cons of screening
with their doctors.
Mammograms clearly can help
prevent deaths but they come
with trade-offs: anxiety-provoking
false alarms, unneeded biopsies,
and overdiagnosis, detection of
tumors that never would have
threatened a woman’s life.
“Screening is most beneficial
for women ages 50 to 74,” said
task force past chairman Dr.
Michael LeFevre of the University
of Missouri.
Compared with biennial mammograms for average-risk women,
starting at age 40 instead of 50
could prevent one additional
death but lead to 576 more false
alarms for every 1,000 women
screened, the report calculated.
Age aside, the report estimated
nearly 1 in 5 women whose tumor
was detected by a screening
mammogram may be overdiag-
nosed.
On the other hand, women at
increased risk because their
mother or sister had breast cancer may benefit more from mammograms than the average 40year-old, LeFevre added.
Urging that kind of personalized discussion is an important
clarification, said Dr. Richard
Wender of the American Cancer
Society, which had sharply criticized the task force’s 2009 recommendation. The American Cancer
Society currently is updating its
own mammography guidelines,
due out later this year, to include
the latest evidence on those age
questions.
“Mammography is the most
effective way to reduce the likelihood of being diagnosed with
advanced breast cancer, and
avoiding a premature cancer
death,” Wender said.
Monday’s task force recommendation is a draft open for
public comment through May 18,
at
www.screeningforbreast-
cancer.org. It also recommends:
—Women should undergo
mammography every two years
between 50 and 74, but more
research is needed on whether to
continue screening women 75
and older.
—About 40 percent of women
have breasts so dense that it’s
more difficult for mammograms
to spot cancer, and they’re at
higher risk of developing tumors,
too. Laws in 22 states require that
women be told if mammograms
show dense breasts, and some
suggest they consider extra testing. The task force said more
research is needed to tell if adding
tests such as 3-D mammograms
or ultrasound exams would
improve women’s outcomes.
—More research also is needed
to tell if newer 3-D mammograms
should be used for regular breast
cancer screening. The task force
said it’s not clear if 3-D mammograms improve survival or quality
of life, or might worsen overdiagnosis.
Report: 5 months after infection, man spreads Ebola via sex
NEW YORK (AP) — Health officials now think Ebola survivors
can spread the disease through
unprotected sex nearly twice as
long as previously believed.
Scientists thought the Ebola
virus could remain in semen for
about three months. But a recent
case in West Africa suggests
infection through sex can happen more than five months
later.
Based on the case, officials
are now telling male Ebola survivors to avoid unprotected sex
indefinitely. They had previously advised using condoms for at
least three months.
A report released Friday
detailed the case of a 44-yearold Liberian woman whose
infection likely came from a 46year-old man who had Ebola
symptoms last September. She
fell ill in March, a week after sex
with him, and died. Another
woman he had sex with around
the same time tested negative.
The Ebola virus spreads
through direct contact with an
Ebola patient’s blood or other
bodily fluids like urine, saliva,
semen and sweat. Once patients
recover, health officials say they
aren’t contagious except there’s a
chance it could still be in semen.

clients. The health professionals include, from left, Amy Davenport, Debbie Redman, Kim Nesbitt, Elizabeth Pope and Dr. Michael Daubner.
Health Department team wins award
Special to the Banner
During National Public Health Week last
month, the Tennessee Department of Health’s
Southeast Region honored employees who
have gone much further than their jobs require
to improve the health and well-being of
Tennesseans.
A team from the Bradley County Health
Department won the Outstanding Teamwork
Award and one member of the team won an
Above and Beyond Award.
The Outstanding Teamwork Award went to
primary care physician Dr. Michael Daubner,
family nurse practitioner Elizabeth Pope,
nutritionist Amy Davenport; registered nurse
Kim Nesbitt, and registered nurse Debbie
Redman. Dr. Daubner also won the Above and
Beyond Award.
As a team of health professionals who work
in primary care, these providers were very concerned that 32 percent of Bradley County
adults are obese and 34 percent are physically
inactive. Physical inactivity and obesity lead to
many chronic health conditions such as diabetes and heart disease.
Rather than just telling their patients to eat
healthier and be more active, this group
worked as a team to help their patients achieve
this goal.
To motivate patients to be more active, the
team obtained pedometers for patients and
trial visits and potential scholarships to the
YMCA. They also worked to get the entry fee
waived so patients could participate in a walk
at Lee University.
However, the most important thing they did
was to actually go with the patients and walk
as a group at a local walking path. By personally helping patients experience how physical
activity reduces stress and helps one feel better, this team served as role models for their
patients.
Along with helping patients become more
physically active, the Healthy Lifestyle team
counseled patients on good nutrition and notified them about any progress made in their lab
results.
The Southeast Region is proud to have a
team of professionals willing to be role models
and coaches as well as health professionals.

J&S Restaurants has promoted
Jeff Vanderbilt to assistant manager at Hardee’s in Charleston.
Jeff was originally hired as a

always there when you need him.
You never have to ask him more
than once to get something done.
He always goes the extra mile to
do even more than what’s expected of him. He will do good in any
store he is placed, and he will definitely be an asset as an assistant
manager. Congress Parkway will
miss him.”
Jeff is an example of what an

Association of REALTORS
(RCAR) includes members from
six Tennessee Counties.
RCAR services the Southeast
Tennessee counties of Bledsoe,
Bradley, McMinn, Meigs, Polk
and Rhea. The members of the
Association play an active role in
the growth and marketing of
each of the communities within
these counties.
One of the valued services
that have been attributed to
RCAR is the ability to report
accurate statistics in the local
area. These statistics are based
on the accumulated data submitted from the REALTORS in
these areas through their participation in the RCAR Multiple
Listing Service.
The most recent real estate
market statistics, with an
overview of the last three
months, showed the following:
Beginning January 1 through
March 31, 2015, the total residential units sold were 571. In
that same time frame, the average days for a property to
remain on the market prior to
being sold or closed was 156
days. The average price of listed
properties was $149,280, with
the average sold price being
$142,372.
In reporting the numbers for
residential sales only, the first
quarter of 2015 in Bradley
County showed a increase from
fourth quarter 2014. In the
fourth quarter of 2014, there
were 247 residential units sold

on the market being 119. The
average list price was $159,087
with an average sold price of
$152,902.
In Bradley County, the first
quarter of 2015 showed a

benefit the environment through
sustainability initiatives. Truck
sharing is a core U-Haul sustainability business practice
that allows individuals to access
a fleet of trucks that is larger
than what they could access on
an individual basis.
Every U-Haul truck placed in

vehicles, pickups, SUVs and
vans off the road. Fewer vehicles
means less traffic congestion,
less pollution, less fuel burned
and cleaner air.
The Volkswagen Group has
made a good start to fiscal year
2015, despite a market environment that remains challenging.
Sales revenue rose by 10.3
percent in the first quarter as a
result of higher volumes,
improvements in the mix and
positive exchange rate effects.
Operating profit grew by 16.6
percent. The operating return on
sales increased to 6.3 percent.
The Group’s operating profit and
sales revenue exclude the activities of the Chinese joint ventures,
which are accounted for in the
financial result using the equity
method.
The share of operating profit
attributable to the Chinese joint
ventures in the first three
months increased.
The Volkswagen Group's profit
before tax amounted to EUR 4.0
billion. The return on sales
before tax rose to 7.5 percent in
the period from January to
March.
“We have always emphasized
that 2015 will be a challenging
year for the automotive industry
as a whole, and also for us,” said
Dr. Martin Winterkorn, chairman
of the board of management of
Volkswagen Aktiengesellschaft,
in Wolfsburg.
“Nevertheless, our key figures
for the first quarter show that the
Volkswagen Group remains on
course, despite the headwinds”
Winterkorn added. “The key
focus for the entire workforce is
on ensuring that 2015 will be
another successful year.”
The Group’s stated objective is
to increase its volumes, sales revenue and operating profit in full-
year 2015.
Global demand for passenger
cars was up 3.7 percent year-onyear in the first quarter of 2015,
however, market trends varied
from region to region.
The overall markets in AsiaPacific, North America, Western
Europe and Central Europe saw
growth, while a significant yearon-year decline in market volumes was recorded in Eastern
Europe and South America.
“We expect trends in the passenger car markets in the individual regions to remain mixed. This
environment demands our utmost
flexibility and financial strength so
that we can safeguard the Group’s
success in the long term and
achieve the goals of our Strategy
2018,” said Chief Financial Officer
Hans Dieter Pötsch.

PJ McKAY has been a licensed Realtor for two years, but he has
been involved in real estate for over a decade. A native of Cleveland,
he was inspired in the building industry by his father and grandfather,
and encouraged to become a Realtor by his mother. He is in the
process of flipping his fourth house.

houses and rental properties —
since his early 20s. At age 29, he

MccKay earned a bachelor’s

University of Tennessee at
Chattanooga and was case manager for Tennessee, but “I was not

Speaking on perpetual problems
Does your spouse have issues?
Are there a few things about your
spouse that have been problematic as long as you have known
this person? Do you find yourself
wondering when, if ever, these
issues will go away? Are there
things about you that your
spouse finds difficult to accept?
Do you find yourself wondering if
your spouse will ever see things
your way? Do your fights have an
air of familiarity to them? When
you fight, about 70 percent of the
time are you thinking, “Here we
go again!”
If you have answered “Yes” to
all of these questions, I can
assume that you have been married for at least three years.
Perhaps a word of comfort
might be helpful. That word is
“NO.” These issues will probably
never go away. In fact, if you
could magically turn the clock
forward 5, 10, or even 20 years,
you are likely to find that you will
still be fighting about the same
issues.
“Oh, yes, I know that fight. It’s
No. 8. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. We could never agree
about that issue 20 years ago.
Why would we agree now?”
You are probably also wondering, “How is this comforting? Will
our problems never go away? Is
there no hope?”
My response would be that
there is always hope and that
true hope comes with the realization that there are some issues in
every relationship that never go
away. Once you accept this reality, then you will stop fighting
against it and find positive ways
to deal with ever-present problems.
John Gottman, a marital therapist, calls these problems “perpetual problems.” His research
reveals that 69 percent of the
issues couples fight about are
perpetual problems, which leaves
only 31 percent of problems solvable.
A few examples of perpetual
problems might be helpful: (1)
Differences in neatness and
organization. (2) Differences in
wanting time together and time
apart. (3) Differences in optimal
sexual frequency. (4) Differences
in handling finances. (5)
Differences in how to resolve conflict. (6) Differences in how to
raise and discipline children. (7)
Differences in punctuality. (8)
Differences in being people-oriented. (9) Differences with
respect
to
religion.
(10)
Differences in values.
Of course, one couple’s perpetual problem may be a nonexistent problem for another couple.
Every relationship is unique.
Understanding your perpetual
problems (no matter how trivial
they may seem to others) is a
critical step in developing a
healthy long-term relationship.
Instead of fruitlessly trying to
solve
perpetual
problems,
Gottman believes that it is more
productive for the couple to
establish dialogue over your gridlocked issues, since gridlock
leads to emotional disengagement, and, disengagement over
time can lead to divorce.
Of course, how a couple dialogues concerning perpetual
problems is fundamentally
important.
Communicating with sensitivity and compassion, being willing
to accept influence from your
spouse, seeking to repair any
emotional damage that occurs
within a fight as quickly as possible, learning to compromise, and
finding ways to self-soothe and
soothe one’s partner all become
critically important in preventing
perpetual issues from compromising closeness.

The favorite part of his job, he
said, is helping people find their

He added that when he goes to

But flipping, building and selling are not the only things he
does.

and sent it in.
Just days later, he got a respose

Butter and dill are lovely on

wanted something a little more...
robust. For those evenings, I came
up with a zippy sauce that’s something of a cross between Italian
pesto and Argentinian chimichurri, but with a hefty dose of Asian
peanut sauce just to make it interesting.
The sauce can be prepped up to
a day in advance, but don’t add
the peanuts until just before serving. The port-soaked raisins also
can be done in advance. Just
drain and refrigerate as needed.

for the most current information.”
Regarding his talented brother,
Ben added, “Scott has such an
amazing vision with all the projects he creates. He and his production partner, Matt Dearman,
are huge inspirations to me. I
can say the film was a huge
learning experience for everyone
and I’m very lucky to be a small
part of that journey. Scott and I
are really close, and we’ve bonded a lot because of ‘Ain’t It
Nowhere.’ It’s a huge undertaking to create a feature film, let
alone making it at the age of 26.
It’s great that we are both going
into the same industry, so we
can support each other along the
way.”
As far as the future of his own
film is concerned, Ben said,
“Right now, we are trying to enter
‘The Merry Death Collector’ into
as many festivals as possible. We
are targeting Southern film festivals. After playing a few more festivals, the documentary will
appear online sometime over the
summer. We are very proud of
the hard work we’ve put into
these stories and we want as
many people as we can to see
these films. There’s a narrative
romantic comedy short I’m working on. It’s a unique and funny
story about the extremes people
will go to for love. As for what’s
after that, the move to Los
Angeles or New York is something I see in the near future. But
as long as I’m crafting stories
that I love and I'm working with
creative, collaborative and kind
people, that's all I could ever ask
for.”
When asked about their
favorite filmmakers, Scott said,
“My favorite filmmakers are
(Martin) Scorsese and (Steven)
Spielberg, which aren’t very
unique answers. However, I truly
just want to work with someone
who is compelled to tell an interesting story. As long as the story
is good, and we all fight to make
it the best film possible, that’s all
that matters.”
Ben said, “JJ Abrams and
Kathleen Kennedy are huge idols
for me right now. I have looked
up to Abrams ever since I started watching the TV show ‘LOST,’
which is one of my biggest inspirations and reasons why I want
to go into TV and film. He has a
brilliant eye for storytelling and
keeping the audience engaged
and curious. And Kennedy has
produced so much incredible
work: ‘E.T.,’ ‘Jurassic Park,’
‘Back to the Future.’ And currently, she’s helming the new
‘Star Wars’ films. She is someone who knows what really
works.”
Both brothers agree quality
filmmaking is important, especially since so many people have
access to a camera to engage an
audience.
“Quality filmmaking is important today because it’s those stories that help shape our perception of the world,” Scott
explained. “It’s how we learn
about things that are foreign to

will be selected and they will do
one more step — screen tests.
To prepare, McKay is practicing
test runs — “I’ll record, watch and
get a feel to be comfortable,” he
said.
The one chosen will tape during
the summer four days a week.
To someone interested in real
estate or building, McKay said
you need to get familiar with the
market, get licensed and stay upto-date with ever-changing codes.
It’s important, too, he said, to
have a good relationship with
clients. “Get your client to trust
you.”
McKay said he knows he’s
doing what he loves — showing
and sellling homes — seven days
a week.

us. And with great filmmaking
and great storytelling, we’re able
to better understand others and
make the world a more enjoyable
place. Also, sometimes it’s just
nice to be entertained for two
hours and forget about your
problems.
When asked if either of them
had any advice for aspiring filmmakers, both Ben and Scott were
happy to share their thoughts.
Ben, who created several short
films at UTK and directed a
musical
called
“DECK’D”
through the All Campus Theatre
group, said, “The reality today is
that everyone has a camera in
their pocket. The ability to make
stories is so easy nowadays and
it is incredible. The only thing
stopping you from making stories
is you. So get out there and make
something. Create, collaborate,
show it to people, find your audience, learn, and have fun. No one
is going to make ‘Raiders of the
Lost Ark’ at the age of 16, but
don’t give up. Every film you
make or story you tell, you will
learn and you will get better.
Also, watch great movies to know
what works and watch bad
movies to see what does not.”
Scott added, “The only advice I
would give to aspiring filmmakers is this: Never stop creating.
One of the biggest hurdles you
will face is your own motivation
or possibly lack thereof. It’s kind
of cliched, but it’s true. If you
keep working hard enough on
something you love, you will
break through and be successful.”
Submissions at the 46th
annual Nashville Film Festival
also broke records this year, with
more than 3,500 film entries and
1,350 screenwriting competition
entries. Winners in the animated,
narrative and documentary
shorts categories are automatically qualify for Academy Award
consideration, should they meet
all other eligibility requirements.
The Nashville Film Festival is one
of only 17 festivals in the world
that are automatic qualifiers in
these three categories.
NaFF Executive Director Ted
Crockett said, “This was our best
year yet at the Nashville Film
Festival. We wrapped up 10 days
at Regal Green Hills with recordbreaking attendance and soldout shows. There were so many
wonderful films in competition
this year. We were proud to present them to the Nashville community.”
Speaking for the family, Jan
Murphy, mother of Scott and Ben
said, “As their parents, we are
extremely proud of our sons and
the accomplishments they have
made in their young lives. Their
strong work ethics, coupled with
their talents and their ability to
work with others, are certainly
helping them follow their
dreams.”
Their father, Dr. Bill Murphy,
has been a pediatrician at
Cleveland Pediatrics for 30 years.
Their mother, Jan, is a former
school speech pathologist and
has been an active volunteer in
schools and church since the
boys were young. Their older
brother Adam is the assistant
director of bands at Huntingdon
College in Montgomery, Ala.
Padma Lakshmi wants you to go veg for a few meals a month
For the guest list, try to strike a
balance between people with
matching and contrasting interests. And no matter who else you
invite, director Joel Schumacher
and actress Susan Sarandon “are
always good for a hoot.”
“They will liven up any dinner
party. Joel is a fantastic storyteller, which is why he’s such a
great director,” Lakshmi said.
“But he’s also a good talker and
Susan is fun and irreverent and
unpredictable and has a great
wildness about her and a great
sense of humor, so she’s good at
pulling other people out of their
shell. And who doesn’t want to
have dinner with Susan
Sarandon.”
Though Lakshmi loves exploring exotic foods on her show and
in her travels, she grew up a strict
vegetarian in India and follows a
mostly vegetarian diet when she’s
not filming.
“It’s probably why I understand
better that there are so many
great plant-based sources out
there, so you don’t have to feel
deprived,” she said. “We have had
a disconnect in our generation of
how to eat well and how to eat a
varied and abundant diet. I’m not
espousing total vegetarianism or
veganism. I personally and politically believe that a varied diet
with a little bit of everything is the
right path for most Americans.”
At home, she still mostly cooks
the Indian foods she grew up eating, which are heavy on beans,
including lentils and beans of

dairy products, including milk,
cheese and homemade yogurt. In
fact, the single mom recently
partnered with MorningStar
Farms to encourage others to go
meatless a few meals a month for
a Veg of Allegiance challenge.
“The best thing you can do for
your children is to cultivate an
interest and appreciation in food,
because a child who has a hand
in making their own foods is more
likely to eat that food because
they have ownership of what they
make.”
Lakshmi also doesn’t worry
what her own inherent curiosity
for food will do to her bombshell
figure, admitting she typically
goes up two dress sizes while
filming.
“In Chicago, I went up three
dress sizes. It was that damn
deep dish pizza challenge that
threw me off in the first episode,”
she said.
She follows a strict diet when
not filming, but it takes her 12
weeks to lose what she gained in
six weeks because she wants to
do it the right way.
“If you were in my closet you
would see things in a size 2 and
you would see things in a size
12,” she said.

The
220,000-square-foot
space — including 18,000 feet
unencumbered by structural
columns — doubles its former
home on the Upper East Side.
That translates to more gallery
space for its 22,000-object permanent collection and for temporary exhibitions.
The building is a mixture of
shapes and angles. It features
floor-to-ceiling windows and out-
door staircases that connect to
open-air terraces on three floors.
All the elements are designed
to connect the museum to the
city beyond.
The inaugural exhibition features 650 works by 400 artists
spread throughout the museum.

Hints from Heloise
Doghouse design
Dear Readers: When a new
dog comes into the family,
depending on where you live, a
DOGHOUSE might be a priority.
This is especially important if
your dog will be outside most of
the time.
You can buy one or make one.
Here are some hints to know:
The dog needs enough room to
stand, sit and turn around. Not
too big, though!
Do put the doghouse on
cement blocks or another sturdy
base to help keep the floor dry
and cool or warm, depending on
where you live.
If it’s cold outside, the base of

the doghouse will transfer that

Or, if boiling hot, like in Arizona

allow airflow between the soil
and the doghouse.
On a personal note, when
Sheba, a Keeshond, adopted us
years ago (and is now in doggie

made her a doghouse. It was just
the right size for her to curl up in
and stay warm and safe. However,
she decided that sleeping ON TOP
of the doghouse was the way to
go. Or she would crawl under a

one side of each. When I assemble the sandwich, I grill it on the
untoasted sides of the bread. My
bread is toasted on both sides —

Stella, this does sound like a
good hint, but how do you fit two
slices of bread into one slot?
They must be very thin slices of
bread, or your toaster must have
bagel-size slots. If you are going
to use a frying pan to grill the
sandwich, why not simply put
the bread in the pan and “toast”
one side? Then make the sandwich the way you normally do.
Oh, one of my favorites? Try a

Memphis Pyramid seeks old glory with Bass Pro Shops

picturesque gardens has been
discovered. Millions now flock
yearly to Charleston, which in

destination in the United States
and No. 2 in the world by readers
of Conde Nast Traveler. While the

to view it on par with other mustsee Memphis destinations like
Graceland, Stax Records, Sun
Studio and the National Civil
Rights Museum. And city leaders
hope a $100 million investment in
the project will turn the moribund
neighborhood known as the Pinch
into a thriving commercial area.
“The Pyramid over the last couple of decades has become our
iconic symbol for the downtown
skyline — it’s to Memphis what
the (Gateway) Arch is to St.
Louis,” said Kevin Kane, president
and CEO of the Memphis
Convention and Visitors Bureau.
“With an opportunity like this, it
will become an attraction that will
bring millions of people to its
doorstep.”
Opened in 1991, the Pyramid
lost its luster when the Memphis
Grizzlies of the NBA and the
University of Memphis Tigers basketball team left for the new
FedExForum, located on Beale
Street. Before then, it hosted
Southeastern Conference and
NCAA tournament games and was
a concert stop for Billy Joel, the
Rolling Stones and many others.
Bass Pro and the city agreed on
a 55-year lease in 2010.
Construction to convert the
535,000-square foot building from
arena to megastore began four
years ago. About 700 people
worked on construction. Another
600 people have been hired as
Bass Pro employees.
The result of the makeover is
impressive. The cypress swamp
covers most of the ground floor.
Moss dangles from fake trees,
and the watery bog is dotted
with stuffed wild pigs and other
animals.
Surrounding the swamp are
various retail sections with handpainted wall murals of idyllic outdoor scenes. The fishing section
contains about 30,000 items. A
general store will sell homemade
fudge. The 13-lane bowling alley
has a water motif with fish dangling from the ceiling and ball
returns shaped like alligator
mouths. There’s also an interactive duck hunting game.
An elevator takes visitors up to
the Cat House Sky Club, a restaurant and bar with an observation
deck providing panoramic views of
the river and city.
Rooms at the Big Cypress Lodge
were inspired by hunting camps.
They have a rustic feel, with dark
wood trim and private porches
with rocking chairs.
But there are also modern
amenities, like flat screen TVs,
electric fireplaces and room service, according to hotel manager
Lana McDonald. The hotel also
has a fitness center and spa.
McDonald estimated in early
April that the low-end price for a
regular room will start at around
$259, depending on demand and
availability.

This PhoTo shows a horse-drawn carriage moving through the
historic district in Charleston, S.C. In decades past, Charleston was
largely unknown to visitors from the wider world. But now millions of
people a year visit the city.
The attraction immerses visitors
in the sights and sounds of war
with a soundtrack of thudding
helicopters, machine guns and
the cries of jungle creatures. New
in May is Charleston Insider’s
Weekend where visitors can
experience the city’s history,
shopping and food at events
hosted by leading magazine editors and locals.
CLASSIC ATTRACTIONS: It
may seem a bit cliche, but take a
carriage ride. There are several
companies and they generally
charge about $25 a head for
adults, with discounts for children. You’ll get a one-hour tour
of areas in the historic district -
carriages take different routes to
ease congestion - and you also
get a quick introduction to the
city from the drivers.
Charleston has dozens of
restaurants in every price range.
Reservations can be tough to
come by at Husk, but if you can,
try the shrimp and grits - or anything else at the place that Bon
Appetit declared America’s best
new restaurant of 2011. Locals
also
love
Sermet’s,
a
Mediterranean eatery in the King
Street shopping district. The district includes dozens of stores
from locally owned boutiques
and antiques and jewelry shops
to national chains like Brooks
Brothers and Williams-Sonoma.
Be sure to visit White Point
Garden and the Battery and
stroll through the historic district, peeking into quiet gardens
behind wrought iron fences. The
nearby sea islands boast sandy
beaches and there are antebellum plantations along the Ashley
River and in Mount Pleasant.
TIPS: Walk, don’t run — or
drive. You can’t see much of
Charleston from a car. If you try
to drive, you’ll spend your time
frustrated, navigating narrow
streets that suddenly become
one-way or are jammed with
bicycle rickshaws, horse-drawn
carriages and other out-of-town
drivers who also have no clue
where they are going. Most
downtown hotels have parking in
garages.
If you’re a day tripper, park at
the Charleston Visitor Center
garage and then visit the center
where you can get maps, make
reservations and see a film and
displays providing an introduction to Charleston. Then catch
the green trolley. They are free
and take you within easy walking
distance of the most popular
areas in the historic district. It’s
no surprise the busiest tourist
seasons in Charleston are spring
and fall. It’s cooler and there’s no
oppressive summer humidity. If
you do visit in summer, high
temperatures average in the
upper 80s, and bring a raincoat
as there are almost daily afternoon thundershowers.
Serenity Now: Hard-earned peace on Arizona canyon hike
SUPAI, Ariz. (AP) — Framed by
pitch-black canyon walls rising
monumentally on either side of
the rushing, rain-swollen Havasu
Creek, the night sky burst with
snow-white stars and Milky Way
swirls.
It was the last night of a grueling three-day Havasupai Trail
round trip to the waterfalls in
northern Arizona’s Havasu
Canyon, an offshoot of the Grand
Canyon.
The hike offers bliss by way of
blisters, far from the crowds.
I’d promised myself that I
would complete the hike ever
since a dangerously underplanned attempt 13 years earlier
ended barely 2 miles in. On
horseback, a member of the
Havasupai tribe, which administers the area, spotted my vermillion face and half-bottle of water
on a torrid summer afternoon,
and ordered me to go back.
On my second attempt, I left
the planning to six tireless students from Northern Arizona
University’s Outdoor Adventures.
All I had to do was show up at
the crack of dawn with my backpack on the pine-scented
Flagstaff campus. (Many universities around the country offer
trips to a variety of outdoors destinations, open to the public at a
steal: My $360 fee covered pricey
permits, exceptionally caring
guides, most gear, all food
including luxuries like cookies
baked on the spot and fresh avocados and sprouts, and the
eight-hour round-trip drive to
the trailhead.)
Even though the mesa-top
AP photo
This PhoTo shows a pack horse by the side of Havasupai Trail,
in northern Arizona’s Havasu Canyon. A three-day round trip hike
along the trail to waterfalls is tranquil but physically challenging.
Hualapai trailhead is less than
30 miles (48 kilometers) as the
eagle flies from tourist-thronged
Grand Canyon Village inside the
national park, it is 191 miles
(307 kilometers) away by car,
most on deserted roads. Tribal
members heading home and hikers, not day-trippers spilling out
of buses, embark on this trail.
The vistas into the red and
white infinity of rock formations,
punctuated by unexpectedly
green desert brush, are breathtaking. The first couple of miles
of switchbacks, dropping 2,000
feet (610 meters) to a wash at the
canyon floor, take away what little breath you might have left.
Mercifully flat, the next 7 miles
(11 kilometers) snake through
gauntlets of orange-to-salmon
smooth ledges, along a cottonwood-lined stream, through tiny
Supai village and its corrals of
pack mules and horses - for the
hikers who prefer not to stagger
under a 30-plus-pound backpack.
About 2 miles (3 kilometers)
after the village, I dumped my
pack with a yelp, tore off the
steaming boots midstride, and
waded into cooling waters right
below Upper Navajo Falls, the
first of multiple waterfalls cascading from red rocks into layered turquoise pools toward the
Colorado River a few miles away.
Woken up the next day before
dawn by a ranger warning of
flash floods, but undeterred by
rain, we splashed in the pools
below Havasu and Mooney Falls,
which bookend the long canyon
campground.
A student leader talked me
down nearly 200 vertical feet (61
meters) through slick rock-hewn
tunnels and steps to the Mooney
pool. The swim under the powerful spray was worth the limbshaking panic, followed by my
first afternoon nap in years.
On the last day, it was out by
the same trail, from the shady
creek-side paths to the unforgiving, and awe-inspiring, climb up
the canyon walls back to the
trailhead.
There, screaming calf muscles
prevented me from standing
upright - but not from marveling
one more time at the kaleidoscope of shades and colors
unfolding in all directions, now
under a full-blast sun.

architecture, cinema, culinary,
dance, exterior and interior
design, glass blowing, fashion
design, landscaping, music,
painting, photography, pottery,
sculpture, visual art and writing.
Plant life includes flowers, grasses, trees, weeds, vines, scrubs
and bushes.
Plant life can inspire the arts or
create the art. It can be used as a
medium or to create the art. The
art of music can give inspiration
or ideas. The arts inspire fabrics,
fashions, patterns, and designs.
Various displays coordinated arts
through paintings, clothing,
shoes, plaques, old greeting
cards, jewelry and pottery that
illustrated a floral pattern from
plant life. She told members it is
amazing to see the beauty that
God has given us and that we
sometimes take for granted.
Some of the songs we sing at
church talk about the beauty of
his creation through the art of
music. Everything is based on the
natural resources and tells a
story. Music gives a poet inspiration of lyrics or design.
Each member was asked to tell
two things on how plant life has
affected their lives. Some of the
ways given were the use of floral
scents derived from plants, cuttings from their flowers grown in
yard, fresh vegetables grown in
the garden, relaxation and meditation, growing intriguing plants,
flower designs in decorating,
making food dye from red onion
skins, bird watching, and enjoying the beauty of flowers planted

LAY-AWAYS WELCOME
By LEE REICH
Asociated Press
Crabapple branches drenched
in white, pink or red blossoms
are a strong enticement to go out
and buy one of these trees. First,
however, put a little thought into
which variety you plant.
There are about 900 varieties
on the market, and planting a
crabapple is a decision that lasts
for decades.
To begin with, think beyond
just the blossoms. For all their
beauty, they are with us only a
week or two each year. Crabapple
fruits can be almost as decorative as the blossoms. And you
also might consider the tree’s
form, eventual size, and leaf
color both in summer and fall.
But hold on: Before you are
swayed by any of these shows of
beauty, make disease resistance
— yes, disease resistance — your
first consideration in choosing a
variety to plant.
Crabapples, like eating apples,
are generally susceptible to fire
blight, powdery mildew, cedar
apple rust and scab diseases. A
tree with splotched, curled or
dead leaves is not a pretty sight.
And if severe, a disease can actually kill your plant.
Fortunately, a number of
beautiful crabapple varieties are
resistant to one or more of these
diseases. Unfortunately, a number of disease-susceptible varieties are too readily available.
Steer clear of disease-susceptible
varieties such as Almey, Eleyi,
Red Silver and Hopa. Disease,
poor form and short-lived flowers
are all reasons to “kick the Hopa
habit,” as my old horticulture
professor used to say.
CONSIDER THE FRUITS
With the field narrowed to disease-resistant varieties, focus
next on the fruits. Fruits of some
varieties offer months of pleasure, as the golden or scarlet orbs
dangle from the stems from
autumn well into or even
through the winter. The variety

In thIs photo, in addition to being pest resistant, Chestnut is a
crabapple variety good enough for you to enjoy it eating fresh, right
off the tree in Geneva, New York.
Calocarpa, with the unwieldy
botanical name Malus x Zumi
var. Calocarpa, clings to its glistening,
half-inch-in-diameter
fruits from late summer through
December. Indian Summer is
another variety notable for showy
fruits, and, in this case, rosy red
flowers and good fall color also.
You might also enjoy the sight
of birds in late fall and into winter, flitting around the branches
as they enjoy the fruits of some
varieties. Birds particularly relish the small, red fruits of
Sargent crabapple, a relatively
small tree that is also pest-resistant.
Although the “crab” in crabapple means “sour,” a number of
varieties bear fruit good enough
to eat, and surely good enough to
make into jelly, especially if they
are large enough to justify the
effort.
The variety Dolgo is widely
available, and if you grow it you’ll
have to decide whether to enjoy
the sight of the fluorescent red
fruits dangling from the branches or the taste of them in the jelly
jar. Other good cooking varieties
include Cranberry, Hyslop,
Transcendent and Redflesh, the
last with fruit that is red right to
the core.
MANY QUALITIES,
INCLUDING FRESH FLAVOR
In fact, a crabapple fruit does
not even have to taste sour; the
only thing that makes a crabapple a crabapple is fruit size. Any
apple less than 2 inches across is
by definition a crabapple.
Centennial, Chestnut, Kerr and
Wickson are crabapples that you
will want to chomp into. The
fruits are small for apples but
large for crabapples.
As for form and leaf color,
some crabapple trees are upright
and large; most are rounded and
medium-size.
If you want a dainty dwarf tree,
plant Coralburst, which has double pink flowers followed by
small, reddish-orange fruits.
How about White Cascade for a
weeping crabapple, this one a
waterfall of white blossoms that
are followed by pea-size, yellow
fruits? Royalty has the most dramatic leaf color: glossy purple in
spring, greenish purple in summer, then brilliant purple in fall.
The flowers are few, but are
dark crimson, almost purple, and
followed by — you guessed it —
purple fruits.

James Beard food awards to remain in Chicago through 2017
The first James Beard
Foundation awards gala to be
held in Chicago hasn’t even happened yet, but organizers
already have decided to stick
around for a while.
Last year, the foundation
announced that its 2015 ceremony honoring the nation’s top
chefs and restaurateurs would
move from New York City to the
Windy City.
On Thursday, they said the
2016 and 2017 awards also
would be held in Chicago.
This year’s event is at the
Lyric Opera of Chicago on May
4. A separate ceremony for
media awards will remain in
New York.
The James Beard awards were
first held in 1991, and were
always held in New York.
They honor those who follow
in the footsteps of Beard, considered the dean of American
cooking when he died in 1985.

(NAPS) — You can show your
appreciation for all your mother
has done for you, whether on
Mother’s Day or at any time of
the year, by giving her intriguing
insights into how she can make
her life better, happier and more
filled with awe.
Two new books can help you
do just that.
n One, “Feeling Great:
Creating a Life of Optimism,
Enthusiasm and Contentment”
by Peter Vegso and Kelly
Johnson, is built on the timeless
spiritual teachings of visionary
Dadi Janki. With it, your mother
can learn the precepts for feeling
great and the three keys that
unlock the ability to attain it.
Parables and examples further
illuminate this wisdom.
Known for her unswerving
optimism and a heart rich with
compassion, Dadi Janki redefined the concept of freedom in
the West by placing it within the
context of the ancient wisdom of
the East.
The book raises such questions as what does “feeling great”
really mean and is it really possible to feel great in today’s world
with its violence and disorder?
And then gives some surprising
answers: Feeling great is not
about having a good time for a
few hours or having money to
spend. It’s about acquiring,
applying and practicing four
things as revealed in the book —
enthusiasm, optimism, contentment and respect.
The book also reveals practical
ways to navigate and overcome
the sticking points everyone
encounters in a hectic, overscheduled life and includes tips
for feeling great physically. It can
help your mother put her life in
order and remember who she
really is—an authentic way of living from the inside that can sustain her through life’s challenges.
Now is the time to start feeling
great, and this uplifting book

Great gifts for that
great giver: Mom
(NAPS) — Here are two excellent ideas about what to give the
next time you want to get your
mother a present — whether for
Mother’s Day, her birthday or
just to show how much you care.
Considering she probably
helped you learn to read, a book
or two is likely to be greatly
appreciated, especially these:
n For love of Mom. From
teaching children to tie their
shoes, to parallel parking, to outfitting them for their first dance
or first day in the dorm room,
mothers have been their kids’
chief counselors, cheerleaders,
critics, chauffeurs and chefs.
Now, this new book, “For the
Love of Mom: Amazing True
Stories of Moms and the People
Who Love Them” by Maria Bailey,
can be a way to pay homage to
the special woman who rocked
you, raised you, championed
you, challenged you and even —
at times — exasperated you.
While the experience of motherhood is different for every
woman, one thing is universal:
It’s almost impossible to fathom
the myriad of joys and triumphs
encountered on the journey.
Whether the mom in your life
became so by giving birth or
through the blessings of adoption or stepparenting, she’s likely to be moved, inspired and
entertained by these true stories
that share both the monumental
milestones
and
everyday
moments of motherhood. Some
stories are humorous, some
Miss Piggy is
recipient of N.Y.
museum award
NEW YORK (AP) — A prestigious award from the Brooklyn
Museum honors women who have
made outstanding contributions
in their fields.
This year’s surprise honoree is
... Miss Piggy.
The Muppets character joins a
distinguished list of recipients of
the Sackler Center First Awards.
They include theater director
Julie Taymor and former
Supreme Court Justice Sandra
Day O’Connor.
The Daily Beast recently called
Miss Piggy “The Gloria Steinem of
the Muppet World.” She will be
interviewed at the June 4 ceremony by the feminist herself.
The museum’s Elizabeth
Sackler Center for Feminist Art
was founded by its namesake.
Sackler says Miss Piggy embodies “spirit, determination and
grit” and has taught millions
important lessons about overcoming obstacles.
Miss Piggy — known for her
French affectation — declared:
“Moi is thrilled.”
Kermit the Frog will also
attend.
heartfelt; others will help moms
through the trying times, yet all
underscore the devotion and
dedication we admire most
about mothers.
This book celebrates moms
and the uniquely important roles
they play in everyone’s life.
n Fun for fans. Another terrific tome, “Life Could Be Verse,”
features the poetry of legendary
actor Kirk Douglas.
Beautifully bound, it’s something most moms — Spartacus
fans or not — would be happy to
have out on the coffee table.
The book was created by the
renowned actor, crowned as one
of the greatest male screen legends in American film history by
the American Film Institute,
leading up to his 99th birthday.
It offers an intimate look into his
life through poetry, prose and
photos. He pulls the curtain all
the way back, exposing the
bombs and blockbusters of both
his personal and professional
life.
He also celebrates the leading
ladies in his life, from Marlene
Dietrich to Lauren Bacall to
Brigitte Bardot, as well as his
wife of more than 60 years, the
actress and film producer Anne
Buydens.
Douglas’ words and his
poems, written for his wife, his
sons and others, are comical,
sentimental, romantic, sometimes even painful but always
intriguing.

shows you how easy it can be—
not as a temporary indulgence,
but as a lasting state of being.
n The other, “Sunrise, Sunset:
52 Weeks of Awe & Gratitude” by
Kim Weiss, can make for a marvelous pick-me-up for special
moments when your mom wants
to pause and appreciate the magnificence of nature and help her
begin each day with awe and
wonder and end it with reflection
and gratitude.
This colorful little book features beautiful photos complemented by inspirational passages from best-loved teachers
and writers including “Sex and
the City”’s Candace Bushnell and
Jack Canfield, famed for his
“Chicken Soup...” book series.
“Sunrise, Sunset” can bring sunshine and the striking beauty of
the sky into every day of the year.

4 tips to clean up Mom’s schedule
With Mother’s Day nearly here,
it might be a good idea to start
thinking about what to get Mom.
While anyone can give her
flowers, candy or dinner at a
restaurant, why not forgo the old
“disposable” gifts, and instead
put a little imagination into her
special day this year?
Think about it — your mom is
most likely an inspiring, amazing, wonderful lady, so why
shouldn’t her gift be as well?
After all, this is the woman
who makes your favorite meal
when you’re home, washes (and
probably folds) your laundry
without complaint, forgoes her
own needs in order to meet yours
and a litany of other tasks that
help your life run smoothly.
To that point, why not help
Mom (or wife or grandmother)
out by doing what she’s done for
you for so long?
Give a gift that keeps on giving: a clean house. T
he following tips are sure to
help spark an alternative
approach for the second Sunday
in May:
n Do the windows.
The following solution will give
windows a streak- and smudgefree shine:
Combine one gallon of water to
one-half cup of vinegar, one-half
cup of rubbing alcohol and about
two squirts of Dawn dishwashing
liquid. Pour into a spray bottle,
and use newspaper instead of
paper towels to make windows
shine.
n Tackle the chores she doesn’t have time to do.
This includes window washing
(see above), wiping down baseboards, light switches and cabinets and dusting shutters and
blinds.
n Use efficient cleaners.
A recent survey shows that
U.S. adults spend an average of
13 hours per week cleaning their
home. So, why not help mom out
by doing it for her?
With various products on the
market, such as CLR’s Bath &
Kitchen Cleaner or Stainless
Steel Cleaner, the time it takes to
spruce up the house can be cut
in half.
Currently the company has
everything you need to make the
house sparkle, including sinks,
tubs, showerheads and appliances to patio furniture, cement,
grills, driveways and gutters. In
addition, the products are envi-
ronmentally friendly, so you
needn’t worry about their effects.
n Move appliances and furniture.
The big-ticket items in the
house tend to get lost in the
daily, weekly and even monthly
rotation of cleaning. To that end,
surprise mom by moving and
scrubbing behind appliances like
stoves and refrigerators, and furniture such as couches and
recliners.
For more information, visit
www.jelmar.com or www.clrbrands.com.
Thank You to all the mothers and
mothers to be who have supported us
through the years. We are so delighted
to have served you, and look forward
to all the years to come.

Fitness tips for the busy moms
(MS) — Working mothers have
a lot on their plates. In addition
to the responsibilities that come
with raising a family, working
moms also must focus on their
careers.
Many mothers find that managing such hectic balancing acts
leaves little time for physical fitness. But there are ways for
working moms to stay physically
fit even as they juggle their commitments to career and family.
n Work out in the early morning. Working out in the early
morning, when the kids are still
asleep and the office has yet to
open, is a great way for busy
working mothers to get their
daily exercise.
Designate a room in your
home where you can spend time
each morning doing some light
strength training before hitting
the treadmill or elliptical
machine.
The United States Department
of Health and Human Services
recommends that adults get at
least 150 minutes of moderate
aerobic activity or 75 minutes of
vigorous aerobic activity each
week, and women who get up
just 45 minutes earlier each
morning can meet those requirements and then some. An added
benefit to working out in the
early morning is that many people who follow such regimens
insist they have more energy
throughout the rest of the day.
n Exercise with the kids.
Working mothers looking to find
time for exercise can turn part of
family time into a time to exercise
with their children.
Play in the yard with youngsters while dinner is cooking or
go for nightly post-meal walks.
Exercising with kids is a great
way for mothers to get their daily
exercise while also instilling a
love of physical activity in their
children.
n Have a backup plan on
hand. Working out at a gym can
be motivational, as many mothers want to make sure their
monthly membership fees aren’t
going to waste. But there will
inevitably be days when working
mothers can’t get to the gym.
Prepare for such days by purchasing home workout DVDs you
can play while the kids are doing
their homework or after they
have gone to bed.
n Look for gyms with childcare. Many gyms now offer onsite childcare to parents of young
children who can’t stay home
alone while their folks are at the
gym.
Gyms that offer on-site childcare may prove more reliable and
even less expensive than hiring a
Brighten up your patio, deck
or front entrance with containers. They’re an excellent way to
add color, fragrance and beauty
where plantable space is limited
or non-existent.
Set a few containers on the
front or back steps, in the corner
of your deck or other location
where they can be enjoyed. Try
stacking and planting several
containers to create a display
with greater vertical interest.
Check the views when looking
from inside the house out as well
as when enjoying the space outdoors. Strategically place containers for the greatest viewing
pleasure.
Save even more space by using
railing planters. You can dress
up the porch or deck by filling
these planters with colorful flowers and edibles. Make sure they
are sturdy and easy to install.
Reduce time spent installing and
maintaining with easy-to-install
self-watering rail planters, like
Viva balcony rail planters (gardeners.com)
Don’t limit yourself to flowers.
Mix in a few edibles and bring
some homegrown flavor to your
outdoor entertaining. You and
your guests will enjoy plucking a
few mint leaves to flavor beverages, basil to top a slice of pizza
or sprig of dill to top grilled fish.
Herbs not only add flavor to
your meals, but texture and fragrance to container gardens.
And the many new dwarf vegetable varieties are suited to
containers. Their small size
makes them easy to include and
many have colorful fruit that is
not only pretty, but delicious.
Add a few edible flowers like
nasturtium and pansies. Dress
up a plate of greens with edible
flowers for a gourmet touch. Or
freeze a few pansy flowers in ice
cubes and add them to a glass of
lemonade or sparkling water.
Include flowers like globe
amaranth
(Gomphrena),
Lisianthus, and daisies that are
great for cutting. You’ll enjoy
your garden inside and out
throughout the season.
And don’t forget to plant some
flowers for the butterflies to
enjoy. Zinnias, cosmos and
marigolds are just a few that are
sure to brighten any space,
while attracting butterflies to
your landscape. Salvia, penste-

Packing up emotions with your childhood home
By GENINE BABAKIAN
Associated Press
When it came time to pack up
my childhood home, it was my
mother’s wedding dress that put
me over the edge.
Mellowed to a uniform shade
of custard, it sat in the box it had
been stored in for over six
decades. Dislodged from its attic
perch, it was shuttled around
from room to room as my brothers and I chipped away at belongings our parents had collected
over a lifetime.
We mostly managed to rise
above the sibling tension that
often accompanies the liquidation of an estate. But as the only
daughter, I tacitly became the
one to decide what to do with the
wedding dress. And I put off that
decision until the rooms held
nothing but exposed picture
hooks on bare walls.
“The most challenging is the
thought of letting go. For some
people, it is more difficult than
for others,” says Marlene Stocks,
founder of Senior Transition
Services in Huntingdon Valley,
Pennsylvania, who offers help to
people like me — adult children
trying to cope with dismantling
and selling the first place they
called home.
After my mother passed away,
my father stuck it out in the
house for as long as he could.
But his move to assisted living
required the next generation to
step up and empty the family
home as quickly as possible.
We divided heirlooms; collected
papers; identified items to be
sold, stored, donated. We took so
many trips to the dump that they
asked us not to come back.
The process was not without
its high points. My mother was a
sentimental collector, and the
house was full of clutter. You
never knew what might be lurking in a drawer or closet. In one
dresser, I found a Ziploc baggie
full of baby teeth, The New York
Times from the day President
Kennedy was assassinated, and
my grandmother’s Armenian
Bible, dated 1906.
The sheer volume of letters
and memorabilia was both staggering and heartwarming. That
haiku I wrote in third grade, the
parent-teacher conference report
that revealed my trouble with
homonyms, the Valentine’s Day
puzzle I cut out by hand.
Over the course of a few
months, we thinned out the contents of the house. Throughout
the process, I fell into one of two
modes: cold-blooded purger or
weepy sentimentalist. With ice
running through my veins, I discarded Jose, the monkey head
carved out of a coconut that I got
as a Christmas present in 1968.
My mother’s complete collection
of Gourmet magazines — gone. I
made the executive decision not
to save my grandfather’s crumbling medical diploma.
But my icy efficiency could
melt suddenly and unexpectedly.
Something as insignificant as a
torn envelope with a note scribbled in my mother’s hand might
instigate the shift. Or trying to
figure out what to do with her
wedding dress.
Mom you are the Best because you cook for
me, cleans, wash dises and fold closes. You take
care of me when I am sick. You are a outsting
mother and I love you.

“almost like therapy, over a nice

things we may be able to give to
family members. The things that
could be sold or donated. Only
then, at the end of the process,
do we talk about throwing anything away.”
“That is one of biggest concerns of my clients,” she adds.

ing nostalgic value in every
tchotchke. And, of course, there
are always those who want the
biggest slice of the pie.
Parents can make things simpler by divvying up the valuables
in advance. But for families without a plan, a personal property
appraiser can help.
“Children have a tendency to
believe the majority of what mom
and dad have is far more valuable than it actually is. People
often think because it is old it is
valuable,” says Julie Hall of
Charlotte, North Carolina, who
has been an estate liquidator and
personal property appraiser for
25 years.
At the same time, Hall warns,
you don’t want to act until you
know what things are worth.
CALLING IN THE
PROFESSIONALS
Once heirlooms are appraised,
family members can divide them
more equitably or know the value
of items they wish to sell. Then
they can call a second professional: the estate liquidator, who
helps sell items of value, and
donate or discard the rest.
Hall, author of “The Boomer
Burden: Dealing With Your
Parents’ Lifetime Accumulation
of Stuff” (Thomas Nelson, 2008),
has seen her share of Wedgewood
china, painted porcelain and figurines. Emptying closets and
crawling through attics, she has
also uncovered some memorable
finds. Once, in a shopping bag
full of wrapping paper and ribbon, she discovered a stash of
platinum and sapphire jewelry.
In another home, she found loose
diamonds hidden in used
Kleenex.
Her find reminded me of the
gold-and-opal pin I happened to
notice in an empty dresser drawer that was heading toward the
auction house. I retrieved it at
the last minute, slipping it into
my pocket.
As for the wedding dress, I still
haven’t found a solution.
Perhaps I’ll leave it in my attic,
and let my children deal with it
in the decades to come.

Tips for dining out on Mother's Day
(MS) — Mother's Day is right
around the corner, and this special holiday serves to honor all
those women who devote so
much time and effort to their
families.
While gifts and other trinkets
are certainly part of the celebration, a vast majority of children
opt to treat Mom to a night out
on the town come Mother's Day.
Not only does this give mom a
night off from cooking, but also
it presents an opportunity to get
dressed up and spend time
together as a family.
A vast number of families
travel to their favorite restaurants for Mother's Day meals.
Mother's Day is one of the
busiest holidays of the year for
restaurants. The National Retail
Federation says 54.8 percent of
Americans treat their mothers
to a special meal out on
Mother's Day.
Billions of dollars are generated by people eating out with
their mothers. With large
crowds to be expected, diners
can follow a few tips when treating Mom to a meal.
n Book early ... very early. To
guarantee a reservation at any
restaurant, namely your favorite
restaurant, you will need to
make a reservation well in
advance of Mother's Day. It's
never too early to put your name
on the reservation list.
n Expect to wait. Even with a
reservation, you're bound to
spend some time waiting at the
restaurant. Other families may
be lingering at their tables, as
no one wants to rush Mom out
of the door.
Plan accordingly for a potentially long wait time. This means
having a snack before you leave.
Don't arrive famished, as no one
wants the dining party to be
hungry and cranky, which is not
a good way to celebrate Mom.
Have plenty of snacks and
drinks on hand for young chil-
dren, as well as activities to
keep them entertained.
n Consider dining out a day
before or after. Restaurants are
generally packed on Mother's
Day, and as a result kitchen
and wait staffs might be overtaxed. What's more, diners
might be relegated to a special
or abbreviated menu.
If you want a more relaxed
setting and the ability to order
whatever you desire, it may be a
better idea to celebrate Mother's
Day in advance.
Then have Mom enjoy a relaxing day at home on her special
day.
n Take-out is an option.
Families can treat Mom to a dinner out, without really having to
go out. Many restaurants offer
takeout service, so you will not
be limited to pizza or Chinese.
Even chain restaurants have
curbside service, so if Mom is in
the mood for a burger or something more elaborate, she'll have
that option.
n Expect an included gratuity. Restaurants often include a
gratuity in the bill when servicing larger parties, such as those
that might be celebrating
Mother's Day. The standard gratuity rate is 18 percent, but you
may want to go above and
beyond if you feel the service is
exemplary.
n Hire a sitter for young kids.
Although Mother's Day is a
chance for the entire family to
spend time together, the main
goal is to ensure Mom's comfort
and happiness.
If very young children are in
tow, she may not be able to
relax and enjoy her meal.
Infants will need to be fed, and
toddlers may be easily distracted.
Have a sitter watch little ones
when adults are dining out, and
then Mom can enjoy time with
the kids when she returns home
for more celebrating.

Man turns in $1 million lottery
ticket — dusted with flour
DETROIT (AP) — A postal
worker says he couldn’t eat or
sleep for three days because of
something in a container of flour.
What was keeping him up? A
$1 million lottery ticket.
Fred Morgan of Detroit had five
winning numbers in the April 17
Mega Millions game. He knew he
had won the next day. But he
told lottery officials that he
stashed the ticket in flour and a
few other places while he and his
wife considered what to do with
the windfall.
Morgan says nobody would
“check for anything valuable in
the flour.” He says he’s retiring
early after 31 years as a mail carrier.
Mom always said to eat your
vegetables. So call this getting
even... Make her vegetables as a
Mother’s Day dessert.
Or maybe it’s just the ticket for
letting her know how much you
listen to what she’s always saying. We took beets and incorporated them into a delicious,
moist and surprisingly rich
chocolate cake. To up its lovability even more (because hey, your
mom loves you) we added sweettart raspberries and serve the
whole thing with a luscious buttermilk cream.
Not sure about the idea of
beets in a cake? Believe it or not,
you won’t even know they are
there. But you will know this is
an incredibly moist and rich
chocolate cake, and that’s what
matters.

This PhoTo shows chocolate raspberry beet cake in Concord, N.H. Not sure about the idea of
beets in a cake? Believe it or not, you won’t even know they are there. But you will know this is an incredibly moist and rich chocolate cake, and that’s what matters.
2 cups fresh raspberries, plus
more for serving
For the buttermilk cream:
1 vanilla bean
1/2 cup buttermilk
3/4 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons granulated
sugar
Heat the oven to 350 F. Coat a
Bundt or tube pan with baking
spray.
To make the cake, in a large
bowl, use an electric mixer on
medium-high speed to beat
together the brown sugar, butter,
baking soda, salt, ginger, nutmeg
and vanilla until well combined.
Add the oil and beat until light
and fluffy, scraping down the
bowl once or twice. Add the eggs,
one at a time, scraping the bowl
between additions.
In a small bowl, sift together
the cocoa powder and flour. Add
the flour mixture to the moist
ingredients in 2 increments,
alternating with the buttermilk,
mixing briefly between each
addition. Stir in the beets and
chocolate, then gently fold in the
raspberries. Spoon the mixture
into the prepared pan and bake
for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a
toothpick inserted at the center
comes out with just a few moist
crumbs.
Allow the cake to cool in the
pan for 20 minutes before turning out on a rack to finish cooling.
When the cake is cooled and
ready to serve, prepare the buttermilk cream. Scrape the seeds
from the vanilla bean into a large
bowl. Add the buttermilk, cream
and sugar, then use an electric
mixer fitted with the whisk
attachment to whisk on mediumhigh until very soft peaks form.
Serve slices of the cake topped
with the cream and additional
raspberries and shaved chocolate.

Dr. Phil to Cat Cora: Celebs thank moms in letters
NEW YORK (AP) — Moms.
Everybody has one. Not everybody remembers to thank them
when it’s well deserved.
In time for Mother’s Day, Lisa
Erspamer takes care of that in
her third “letter” book, a series of
collected missives that has
already covered some written by
humans to their dogs and cats.
The former TV executive and a
team from her Los Angeles production company decided on 64
letters balanced between everyday sons and daughters and
celebrities. She told The
Associated Press in a recent
interview it was actually the
death of her dad that inspired
her to put together “A Letter to
My Mom,” out April 7 from
Crown Archetype.
“My father died many, many
years ago and when he was on
his death bed he wrote all of us
letters. After he passed, my
mother gave them to us. It’s just
a really powerful thing to get,”
she said. “I realized the one thing
we don’t get from people often is
how they really feel.”
Besides, she added: “I think of
moms as our first love. They are
the first person that we bond
with.”
Enjoy these excerpts from
some of the book’s celebrity kids
to the women who raised them:

don’t think I would have made it
through the Starr investigation
and the long shadow of the debilitating aftermath. To be sure,
survival those first few weeks —
drowning in a sea of fear, humiliation and devastation — would
have been unimaginable had you
not tended to me as only a mother could — as only you could.

you had to deal with our backlash. And you never let us quit.

Raising me wasn’t easy. I was
odd, I was hyper, and sometimes
I spoke in my native Martian

that was telekinetic. As an art
teacher and art lover you
exposed me to a world I now feel
fortunate to call my home. As a
realist you never let me dream
without the steadfastness and
work ethic to back it up.

In my entire life, there was
never a single day that my dad
told me he was proud of me and
not a single day that you didn’t
tell me. ... I still do my best to not
disappoint you. Not that I ever
really could. People often joked
that I could set the house on fire
and you’d jump in to say, ‘Oh, he

last year, one of the more
frequent questions I was
asked was, “Are you going
to bring back the DARE program in county schools?”
My answer to that was
always just one word: “Yes!”
I had long known parents
whose elementary-age children had experienced the
positive message that DARE
(short for Drug Abuse
Resistance
Education)
gives. Years later, those
children still remembered
the basic DARE message,
which is teaching students
good decision-making skills
and helping them to lead
safe and healthy lives as
they grow up. For children,
handling peer pressure can
be unending at school and
with friends in the neighborhood. The temptation to
“experiment” with illegal
drugs, alcohol and tobacco
is great. The problem of
bullying is not new, and
DARE programs teach ways
to step away from both bullying and being bullied.
It just made sense to me
to reinstate the DARE

reach accord
HARPERS FERRY, W. Va. —
The
Appalachian
Trail
Conservancy has signed a new
licensing agreement with Moon
Shine, a maker of belts, bags, key
chains, pet products and more,
that will offer consumers quality
products that support the organization in its mission to protect the
Appalachian Trail.
Funds received from the sales
of these products will benefit trail
management and support, conservation work, community and
youth engagement and educational initiatives.
AT-themed products that will
be available this year include dog
collars, leashes, and harnesses;
leather belts and key chains; lanyards and sunglasses holders;
and canvas totes, koozies and
more.
“The
Appalachian
Trail
Conservancy is excited to partner
with Moon Shine to raise awareness of the iconic Appalachian
Trail,” said Javier Folgar, the
ATC’s director of marketing and
communications. “These new cobranded products will give
Appalachian Trail enthusiasts a
chance to show their love for the
Trail everywhere they go.”
“We're very excited about the
opportunity and privilege to work
with and give back to the
Appalachian Trail Conservancy. It
is such an important organization
and part of an American culture,”
said Klaus Schoening Jr., founder
of Moon Shine. “All of our products are made in the USA; all are
trail tested, and hiker approved.”
The ATC has been the beneficiary of philanthropic contributions
from a wide variety of companies
and company foundations from
the outdoor industry and beyond.
These companies understand the
importance and value in supporting the ATC’s efforts in protecting
the AT.

Program in Bradley County
Schools after a four-year absence.
Any program that is positive,
uplifting and educates the elementary students on ways to stay
safe, drug and alcohol-free and
lead stable lives, needs to be in
our schools. The DARE Program
has traditionally been successful
across the country, as well as
here in Bradley County, and I felt
there was no reason I couldn’t
continue that success here.
Your Bradley County Sheriff’s
Office currently teaches the
DARE Program in 11 county
schools. The BCSO currently has
two DARE instructors, Deputies
Mitchell Roe and Russ Henry. I
have to say, we hit a home run
with these officers. I continually
get reports from parents and
other family members that the
officers’ methods of teaching the
DARE message are making a
positive impact. Speaking of pos-
itive, along with the DARE
Program in elementary grades, I
am proud of the fact we have
school resource officers in all 16
Bradley County Schools, with
two SROs now serving at Bradley
High School, the largest in the
system. Our SROs, a great group
of deputies that includes Russ
and Mitch, are always willing to
talk to a child if there is a problem, or if the child just needs to
talk. That is part of why they are
there.
The level of temptation for your
elementary-age child is much
greater than when we were in
school. With the advent of the
Internet and other ways to communicate, these children are
often flooded with opportunities
to get involved in situations that
can only mean trouble.
That’s why I truly think the
DARE Program is a useful tool to
bring the message that there are
chances out there for a child to
be harmed by negative influences
in society, yet deliver that message in a positive and challenging
way.
Hundreds of elementary students have graduated from the
DARE program already this year.
Three
schools,
Hopewell,
Michigan
Avenue
and
Charleston, have had great ceremonies. I was pleased to see a
large number of families in attendance for these graduations. We
have 8 more schools to go. I have
been able to attend the three ceremonies so far and I plan to be
there for those remaining.
Parents, grandparents and
family members, I appreciate
you! Bradley County Schools

the
Hiwassee/Ocoee State Park
decided to partner and revitalize
the area.
With Gov. Bill Haslam’s
Healthier Tennessee being a top

decided to add outdoor fitness
equipment to the property. There
are 10 pieces of equipment that
have been added.
Looking ahead, fitness programs will be included to teach
park visitors how to use the

Historical Society of COG
Movements to hold meeting
The Historical Society of
Church of God Movements will
hold its annual meeting,
Thursday, at 9:30 am at the history branch of the Cleveland
Public Library in Cleveland.
The public is invited to attend.
This year’s program will
include a presentation by Bishop
Wade H. Phillips, presiding bishop of the Zion Assembly Church
of God. Phillips will be discussing
his new book, “Quest to Restore
God's House — A Theological
History of the Church of God
(Cleveland, Tennessee): Volume I,
1886-1923, R.G. Spurling to A.J.
Tomlinson,
FormationTransformation-Reformation.”
In this, the first volume of a
projected three-volume set,
Phillips offers the most comprehensive examination to-date of
the origins, early history, and
theological development of the
Church of God.
The book offers the most
extensive analysis of the ministry
and thought of Richard Spurling
and a detailed examination of
Tomlinson’s life and ministry
through 1923.
At the meeting, Dr. John
Christopher Thomas, director for
the Center for Pentecostal
Theology and publisher of the
book, will also share his thoughts
on why he believes the work was
worthy of publication.
A question-and-answer session
will follow the presentations,
which are set to conclude at
noon.
The Historical Society of
Church of God Movements began
in 2002 in order to provide
opportunities for representatives
of the various denominations
that use the name Church of God
to better understand both common and unique aspects of COG
history and heritage.

the Historical Society of Church

Pennsylvania man reunited
with class ring after 43 years
FORTY FORT, Pa. (AP) — A
man
in
northeastern
Pennsylvania has been reunited
with his class ring after losing it
in a flood 43 years ago.
State police told the Citizens
Voice that Forty Fort resident
Roger Stout lost his Wilkes
University class ring after it
washed away in the high waters
from Hurricane Agnes in 1972.
They say the ring was recently
sold to a jeweler by someone
involved with a burglary and
robbery case. Authorities are
investigating how he obtained
the ring.
Police noticed “RS BS”
inscribed on the ring and asked
officials at Wilkes University for
help. The private university is in
nearby Wilkes-Barre.
University officials said Stout
received a bachelor’s degree
from the university in 1971.
The ring was returned to
Stout on Friday.

Tennessee Region Phi Theta
Kappa Convention in Columbia.
Members and advisors from 14
Tennessee chapters competed for
recognition in the Society’s
Hallmarks
of
Scholarship,
Leadership,
Service
and
Fellowship.
Phi Theta Kappa is the international honor society of the twoyear college and the largest
honor society in the world.
During the event, the chapter
received five awards and distinctions. The chapter received
fourth place for their Honors in
Action Project for Cancer
Awareness and fifth place for the
Distinguished College Project on
Community College Completion
Corps.
Five officers — Jonathan
Durichek, Heavenly Rodriguez,

“We are very glad to see our
chapter honored for all the hard

our new officers are planning for
the coming year.”
For its commitment to chapter
development,
the
Omega
Omicron Chapter was recognized
as being a Five Star Level chapter, the highest development distinction that can be earned. The
chapter also received the prestigious Milestone Award for rising
three levels in one year, moving
from Two Star to Five Star.
After the award-winning
appearance at the Regional

incoming and outgoing officers
attended the International

Texas. At the convention, they
learned strategies for successful

year.
Phi Theta Kappa is the international honor society of the twoyear college and has the largest
membership of any honor society
in the world with chapters in all
50 states, Guam, Germany,
Canada, and Japan. The Society
bases its total programming on
its commitment to excellence in
the
four
Hallmarks
of
Scholarship, Leadership, Service
and Fellowship.
The Hallmark Awards competition is conducted annually and
recognizes chapters and individual achievement. Individual and
chapter awards are based on
essays; programming; letters of
recognition; scholarship; service
to and leadership in the community and college; and honor society participation. Five-Star
Awards are based on a detailed
hierarchy of achievements and
program activities.
Members of the Cleveland Fire
Department and the Cleveland
Professional Firefighters Local
3748, along with the Muscular
Dystrophy Association, will kick
off the firefighters’ annual Fill the
Boot fundraising campaign to
help save and improve the lives of
people fighting muscle disease in
the Cleveland area.
Muscular dystrophy, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)
and other related life-threatening
diseases take away people’s ability to walk, move, smile, talk and
even breathe.
“For more than six decades
firefighters have stood on the
front lines for MDA, striving to
make a difference in the lives of
those affected by muscle disease,” said MDA Area Director
Holly Carroll.
“Firefighters do more for MDA
and the families we serve than
any other group, dedicating
countless hours of their time
every year participating in Fill the
Boot drives and at MDA Summer
Camp. We’re grateful for the support of these inspiring, selfless
individuals who have made a profound impact on our families’
health, well-being and quality of
life, and we’re excited to make
this year’s Fill the Boot campaign
the most successful yet.”
Firefighters will be out with
their boots on the weekend of
May 8, 9 and 10, between 9 a.m.
and 6 p.m., at the Walmarts on
Keith Street and Treasury Drive.
Funds raised during the
Cleveland Fill the Boot events will
help support MDA’s programs of
worldwide research, specialized
health care services, and day-today support which includes
sending children affected by
muscular dystrophy and related
diseases to a weeklong, barrierfree MDA summer camp.
As the Muscular Dystrophy
Association’s largest national
sponsor, firefighters fuel MDA’s
mission to find treatments and
cures for life-threatening muscle
diseases. In addition to Fill the
Boot events, contributions from
other firefighter events support
MDA’s efforts to raise awareness
and provide professional and
public education about neuromuscular diseases.

South Dakota town
rolls the dice to
decide next mayor
PLATTE, S.D. (AP) — A roll of
the dice has determined who will
be the next mayor in the South
Dakota town of Platte.
Steve Christensen became the
next mayor Thursday after the
town solved its too-close-to-call
race with a game of chance.
Christensen and incumbent
Mayor Rick Gustad split the vote
in the April 14 election. An old
state statute says certain elections can be determined by a high
card draw or a roll of the dice.

The pre-school classes at
Broad Street Methodist Church
had a recent visit from paramedic
Stan Clark with Bradley County
EMS. The children listened while
Clark explained how the EMS
service operated. He also went
over different safety topics and
how and when to call 911.
Afterward the children were able
to go outside and look at the
ambulance. They got in the back
and were able to view the equipment and ask questions. “This is
a fun age to talk to. Their questions are so innocent and honest.
It is also a great time as well to
begin instilling safety matters into
their little minds,” Clark said. The
Owls, Bees and Frogs classes
are shown above. Top back,

be and do your best. A change in the way
you present your skills will be admired.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Pay attention to what everyone else is saying and
doing. The more knowledge you have,

see things your way. Wait until you are
fully prepared to present what you have
to offer.

for someone else to do things for you. It's

whether it's professional, personal or otherwise. Recognition will be yours if you
take the initiative and explore your
options.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): A hasty
decision will lead to complications. Take

work out any kinks that could derail your
plans.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):
Problems with government agencies,
institutions or authority figures will arise if

about personal or business matters.

have a fun-filled day with someone you
love.

professional life will need some positive
adjustments. Form alliances and come to
terms with changes that will help make
your life better. Put a little muscle and
originality behind your plans and you will
succeed.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Put
more time and effort into accomplishing
your professional goals and less into
emotional matters that you cannot
change. Overreacting will lead to disappointment and regret, but your achievements will bring you greater opportunity.

over contracts, negotiate deals, settle
pending problems and take a second
look at an investment. Don't be sidetracked by what others do. Follow the
path that seems most reasonable and
accessible to you. There is money to be
made.
Birthday Baby: You are sensitive,
changeable and outgoing. You are a conversationalist and a storyteller.

String Theory at the Hunter to feature Kim, Huang and Watkins
Chattanooga’s celebrated concert series, String Theory at the
Hunter, will present the final
installment of its sixth season on
Thursday, May 7, at 6:30 p.m. at
the Hunter Museum of American
Art in Chattanooga.
Featured performers include
Soovin Kim, violin; Hsin-Yun
Huang, viola; Paul Watkins,
cello; and Gloria Chien, piano.
This will be the Chattanooga
debut for Huang and Watkins.
String Theory, founded in
2009 by Artistic Director Chien,
is a partnership of Lee University
and the Hunter Museum bringing acclaimed chamber musicians to Chattanooga from
around the world.
The evening’s program will
include Mendelssohn Variations
Concertantes for Cello and Piano
and Brahms’ Piano Quartet in A
major.
Prior to the concert, Art
Connection will take place at
5:30 p.m., which gives String
Theory attendees the opportunity
to visit the Hunter galleries and
hear former Hunter Chief
Curator Ellen Simak and
Maestro Robert Bernhardt discuss works from the Hunter collection that relate to the music
featured in the evening's concert.
Kim, Huang and Watkins are
the artistic directors of the Lake
Champlain Chamber Music
Festival, the Sejong International
Music Festival, and the Great
Lakes Chamber Music Festival.
Kim performs as both a concert soloist and chamber musician and as first violinist with the
Johannes String Quartet. In
2009 he founded the Lake
Champlain Chamber Music
Festival in Burlington, Vermont,
which has quickly gained national attention for its innovative
programming, educational outreach, and work with young composers. Kim received first prize at
Soovin Kim
the Paganini International
Competition when he was only
20, launching an international
concert career.
He later was a recipient of
Paul Watkins
Hsin-Yun Huang
such distinguished prizes as the
Henryk Szeryng Career Award,
the Avery Fisher Career Grant,
and the Borletti-Buitoni Trust
Award. He joins the faculty at the
New England Conservatory of
Music this fall.
Kim has released nine commercial CD recordings in recent
years
including
Niccolò

Etowah’s next big show is Blues
Brothers and More on May 16
The Blues Brothers and more
will be showcased on May 16 at
Etowah’s historic Gem Theater.
Blues Brothers tribute artists
Josh Livingston and Jarrod
Millsaps return at 7 p.m. show.
The duo performed in November
2014 and were a great success.
Also on the bill will be comedian Jeff Foxworthy tribute artist
Jamie Simpson and Larry the
Cable Guy tribute artist Russell
(Bubba) Lloyd.
The evening
of music and
comedy is being presented by
Merchants & Friends of Etowah
and the Etowah Parks & Rec.
Livingston and Millsaps met
while attending Heritage High
School in Maryville. Both were in
to music and comedic entertaining and once they put together a
Blues Brothers rendition, their
lives changed.
After high school graduation,
they continued to appear in the
famous black suits and black
glasses whenever they could
while still managing to pursue
day-time careers.
Livingston earned an associates degree in lodging management and works in hotel management. He is a stay at home dad.
After graduating from the
police academy, Simpson worked
his way through the ranks, and
currently serves as the Blount
County Sheriff's Office community relations director. Even as
they persuaded their daytime
careers, call upon call came
requesting they perform for private parties to shows all over
Tennessee and the southeast.
In 2000, Livingston and
Millsaps began performing regularly at Memories Theater in
Pigeon Forge. They continue to
do so today.
The two make an effort to give
a highly authentic tribute to the
original Blues Brothers.
Livingston often gives tribute to
some of his favorite artists from
the 1960s and 1970s; one of fans;
favorite is his tribute to Johnny
Rivers.
Award-winning tribute artistSimpson and Lloyd “will have
you laughing and rocking in your
seats with their good nature
humor and life experiences as
only two talented Southern good
ole boys can do,” noted Christi
Stewart, show coordinator.
North Carolina born “redneck,” Simpson will have you
wondering if this is the real Jeff
Foxworthy.
Now living in Sevierville,
Simpson started impersonating
Jeff Foxworthy in 2011 and performed 150 shows at Memories
Theater in Pigeon Forge afterward. The next two years,
Simpson performed at the former
on tHurSdaY, May 7, Lee Singers will perform a concert featuring the music they will sing during
their upcoming Italy tour. The concert will take place in Pangle Hall at 7:30 p.m. The program will include
pieces by Eric Whitacre, Claudio Monteverdi, David Binion, Moses Hogan, and other composers. Music
ranges from traditional spirituals to sacred choral pieces to contemporary worship songs. Several of the
songs have been arranged specifically for the Lee Singers. The Lee Singers’ nine-day Italy tour will
include performances in Venice, Tuscany, and Florence, and culminate with the Singers providing service music for Sunday Mass in St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican on Pentecost Sunday (May 24). “We are
looking forward to sharing the music we plan to perform on our Italy tour with the Cleveland community,
especially the four pieces chosen for Mass at the Vatican,” said Dr. Brad Moffett, associate professor of
music at Lee and director of Lee Singers. “It will be a short concert full of beauty and worship.” Lee
Singers is an auditioned mixed choral ensemble of 45 vocalists and nine band members. This dynamic
choral ensemble tours the United States and world, performing a wide range of musical styles including
sacred choral works, praise and worship, traditional choral, patriotic songs, and gospel favorites. This is
a free, non-ticketed event.
JoSH livinGSton and Jarrod Millsaps will present their Blues
Brother tribute on May 16 at Etowah’s historic Gem Theater.
Smith Family Theater opening
their Dukes Of Hazard Show, as
well traveling across the country.
Simpson has a photo of him
with the real Jeff.
“I was blessed to be a part of
his show in 2011 in Franklin,
N.C., at The Smoky Mountain
Theater of the Arts,” Simpson
said.
“The picture was when we were
both on stage and he was telling
the audience about me and then I
performed my favorite routine for
him and the audience. I have
since seen him a number of
times.”
He said, “Foxworthy is very
supportive of it and has told me
to ‘go have as much fun as he
has’.”
Simpson said, “That's the only
comedy that I do except I also did
a season of game shows here in
Pigeon Forge called, ‘Are You
Smarter Than a Redneck’ and
‘The Smoky Mountain Bible
Challenge’.”
There will be a special appearance by Lloyd, a.k.a. Larry the
Cable Guy, who has been mistaken many times as being the
real deal.
While on a family trip to Pigeon
Forge, someone ask if they could
take a video and pictures of
Bubba, even after Lloyd thought
he had them convinced he wasn't
Larry the Cable Guy.
Another spotting was at the
Merchants
and
Friends
November 2014 Veterans show at
the Gem Theater; Bubba
appeared out of no where and
everyone was asking the
Merchants event coordinator if
Larry the Cable Guy was going to
be a surprise on stage that night,
Stewart said.
Born in Asheville, N.C., Russell
(Bubba) Lloyd is just ya friendly,
small town guy next door.
Having a look a like just adds
fun to his already busy life.
However, Lloyd is an entertainer
by his own rights, performing
his favorite gospel songs at
churches and in other settings.
Lloyd loves music and can
pretty much play any instrument
he picks up.
Lloyd has performed comedy acts locally at
the Cleveland Golden Coral for
the Cleveland Bass Club; a
fundraiser for Team Lexie-a cancer survivor; an area nursing
home and the Etowah Depot.
Tickets are $12 and can be purchase at numerous outlet; in
Athens — Madison Square Antique
Mall; in Cleveland — Relics
Antiques; in Delano — Savannah
Oaks Winery; and in Sweetwater —
Picket Fence Galleries.
The Merchants and Friends
have made it very easy to find
tickets in Etowah; your options
are Etowah Community Center,
Etowah Carnage Library, Etowah
Chamber of Commerce, Etowah
Pawn Shop, Choate Printing, and
Interiors by Design.

after he disappeared on Jan 5.
He was last seen in UTC’s engineering, mathematics and computer science building.
Police said an autopsy found
no evidence of foul play, and Ali’s
death has been ruled accidental.
Chattanooga Police Chief Fred
Fletcher told the paper police will
continue to investigate. He urged
anyone with information about
the disappearance to come forward.

Maryville College pairing
students with autistic children
MARYVILLE (AP) — A new
course at Maryville College is
pairing students with autistic
children.
WATE-TV reports the pilot
project, which began this semester, is a cooperative effort
between Maryville College,
Cherokee Health Systems and
the University of Tennessee.
Officials say students work with
autistic children on a regular
basis to reinforce skills such as
behavior, communication and
language.
Parents Joel and Lucy Creel,
who have 4-year-old twins
involved in the program, say the
extra social interaction helps
their children.
Student Courtney Bowers
works with the twins and says
the program has helped her
decide that she wants to focus on

Ex-Tennessee linebacker
Johnson seeking separate trial
KNOXVILLE (AP) — Former
Tennessee
linebacker
A.J.
Johnson is seeking a separate
trial from suspended Volunteers
cornerback Michael Williams as
both men face aggravated rape
charges.
Lawyers representing Johnson
filed a motion Friday asking to
sever the trials of the two defendants. The motion says Williams
“made out of court statements
referencing Mr. Johnson” and
indicates the statements shouldn’t be admissible against
Johnson.
Johnson’s attorney, Tom
Dillard, said in a statement that
“it is not out of the ordinary in
criminal cases to seek separate
trials when multiple persons are
charged, given the rules of evidence and constitutional issues
involved.”
Johnson and Williams were
indicted in February after being
named as suspects in a rape
investigation and suspended
from the team in November.
Johnson has graduated and
completed his eligibility.
5-year-old hit in Knoxville after
getting off school bus
KNOXVILLE (AP) — Officials
say a 5-year-old girl has been hit
by a vehicle in Knoxville as she
crossed the street after getting off
her school bus.
Officials say Alyssa Russell
suffered multiple injuries that
weren’t life-threatening and was
taken to East Tennessee
Children’s Hospital.
The Knoxville News Sentinel
reported that police cited 21year-old Andrea Nicole Medley of
Knoxville with two counts of
passing a school bus.
According to the investigation,
two school buses were stopped
around 3 p.m. Friday with stop
signs deployed and lights flashing when the driver of a van
passed both buses. Officials said
the vehicle hit the Mooreland
Heights Elementary kindergartner as the van was passing the
second bus and the girl was
crossing the street.
A hospital spokeswoman didn’t
immediately return a call.
Police try to ID body

.RALEIGH (AP) — Police in

The
Commercial

Raleigh extinguished the blaze.
No further information was
immediately available. Police say
anyone with information should
call Crime Stoppers at 901-5282274.
East Tennessee man pleads
not guilty to killing couple
ELIZABETHTON (AP) — A
Johnson City man charged with
killing a Kingsport couple who
went missing in January has
entered a not guilty plea in Carter
County Sessions Court.
The Johnson City Press
reports 43-year-old Eric James
Azotea appeared in court
Wednesday for arraignment on
charges that include two counts
of murder, abuse of a corpse and
tampering with evidence in the
deaths of 36-year-old Arthur
Gibson and 22-year-old Amber
Terrell.
Police say the couple’s remains
were discovered after a threemonth search in a crawl space in
Azotea’s home. Investigators have
said they think he killed the couple and dismembered their bodies in an apparent drug deal gone
wrong.
Defense attorney Steve Finney
said he was just appointed to the
case and needs time to prepare
for a preliminary hearing that
was set for June 11.
Many 8th-graders score poorly on U.S. history, civics exam
WASHINGTON (AP) — Time for
another history lesson.
Only about a quarter of eighth
graders showed solid performance
or better in U.S. history, civics and
geography on tests known as the
Nation’s Report Card.
The 2014 results from the
National
Assessment
of
Educational Progress released
Wednesday were similar to those
four years ago when the assessments were last administered.
Students did better overall in U.S.
history and civics than their peers
in the 1990s when the tests were
first given, but geography scores
have remained stagnant since
1994.
Among the findings: Less than
half — 45 percent — of eighthgrade respondents were able to
correctly interpret time differences
using an atlas with time zones.
Only about a third knew that “the
government of the United States
should be a democracy” is a political belief shared by most people
in the U.S.
Michelle Herczog, president of
the National Council for the Social
Studies, said the results “point to
a need for immediate action.”
Tackling issues like terrorism,
human rights, race relations and
poverty require a deep understanding of the historical and geographic context, she said.
“How do we, as a nation, maintain our status in the world if
future generations of Americans
do not understand our nation’s
history, world geography or civics
principles or practices?” Herczog
said.
A breakdown of the test and
results:
HOW STUDENTS DID
Only 18 percent of students
demonstrated solid performance
or better in U.S. history. The
results for geography and civics
were slightly better, 27 percent
and 23 percent, respectively.
A large share of the eighth
graders who took the test scored
at the “basic” level, meaning just
partial mastery of the subjects.
Only 1 percent of test takers in
U.S. history, 3 percent in geography and 2 percent in civics scored
in the advanced level.
White and Asian students performed better than their Hispanic
and black peers. Although the
scores overall were similar to
2010, Hispanic students made
gains in U.S. history and geogra-
phy and white students made
gains in U.S. history and civics.
The scores of black and Asian students didn’t budge in the three
categories.
OTHER FINDINGS
About two-thirds of the eighth
graders were able to use a map to
locate a country on the Horn of
Africa, but only a quarter successfully completed a two-part question that involved explaining how
the participation of AfricanAmericans in the Civil War affected the war’s outcome.
WHO TOOK THE TEST
A nationally represented sample
of 29,000 eighth graders from
public and private schools took a
test in one of the three subjects.
It is administered by the
Education Department’s National
Center for Education Statistics.
HOW STUDENTS LEARN
History class is going digital.
Compared to four years earlier,
more students in 2014 reported
using computers at school in their
U.S. history and social studies
classes. Fewer said they read
material from a textbook and more
listened to information presented
online or watched movies or
videos. More of them said they use
letters, diaries or essays written by
historical people in their studies.
The assessment is not designed
to provide the context needed to
explain student performance or
what works in classrooms.
SAMPLE QUESTIONS
Question: The Supreme Court’s
1803 decision in Marbury v.
Madison established the court’s
power to:
—Impeach a president
—Decide whether a federal law
is constitutional
—Resolve conflicts between
states
—Resolve conflicts between the
president and Congress
*(The answer is B, which 41 percent of students chose correctly.)
Question: What is one responsibility that modern Presidents have
that was not described in the
Constitution?
A) Commanding the armed
forces
B) Granting pardons
C) Appointing Supreme Court
justices
D) Proposing an annual budget
to Congress
*(The answer is D, which 38 percent of students chose correctly.)

National YMCA’s CEO to boost youth programs
NEW YORK (AP) — As a 10year-old growing up in a rough
section of South Philadelphia,
Kevin Washington was invited to
join the local YMCA, and not
long thereafter — still a nonswimmer — found himself
standing above the deep end of
the pool.
“Jump,” the instructor yelled,
and Washington obliged, though
the water was well over his head.
“I jumped in and hit the bottom,” Washington recalled. “I
remember that feeling of accomplishment when you come back
up.”
Washington made it safely out
of the pool, but he’s been
immersed in the YMCA ever
since. He stayed active in the
Christian Street Y through high
school and was hired straight
out of Temple University as its
youth director in 1978, the start
of a career-long journey up the
management ladder.
After stints running Y associations in Hartford, Connecticut,
and in Boston, he was installed
in February as the president and
CEO of the YMCA of the USA —
the first time in the organization’s 164-year history that its
national office has been led by
an African-American.
“It is who I am,” Washington
said of the Y. “It’s helped shaped
who Kevin Washington is, what
he believes, what he thinks, how
he relates to people.”
The
enterprise
that
Washington oversees is arguably
the most diverse and multifaceted of America’s nationwide
nonprofits. Its 900 locally-run
associations operate a total of
2,700 branches serving about 9
million youth and 13 million
adults in communities ranging
from affluent suburbs to hard-

up inner-city districts. The Ys
employ 19,000 full-time staff,
assisted by an estimated
600,000 volunteers.
And the organization has
evolved over recent decades to
encompass operations that go
well beyond the original YMCA
model.
In addition to the standard
offerings — gyms, swimming
pools, fitness programs — Ys are
engaged in diabetes prevention,
low-income housing services,
support for cancer survivors,
and myriad other endeavors. The
Y in El Paso, Texas, has been
assisting residents with tax

premises to estranged couples as
a neutral site for a child’s visits

April 26, 2015; May 3, 10, 2015
Nationwide, one of the Y’s top
priorities is expanding programs
for children in the summer,
when many of them lack adequate adult supervision and lose
ground academically. The Y
enrolls more than 900,000 children at its summer camps each
year, offers reading and math
programs, and plans to serve
healthy meals to 150,000 children from low-income families
this summer.
Financially, the Y seems in
good shape overall, though a few
local branches have struggled.
In the latest rankings by Forbes
of the largest U.S. charities, the
Y ranked No. 8 in private donations, with $939 million, and
was second in total revenue with
$6.6 billion, thanks primarily to
membership and program fees.
However, Washington, in an
interview with The Associated
Press, sounded far from complacent, yearning for expanded
financial support that could
enable the Y to serve hundreds
of thousands more children with
its youth development programs. Generally, those programs are designed to be accessible even to children whose
families can’t afford fees.
“We haven’t gotten our full
and
proper
support,”
Washington said. “You’re going
to see a much more aggressive
YMCA in terms of telling our
story, so we can have the
resources to expand the programs.”
One challenge is to convey to
the 20-somethings and 30somethings who populate some
of the Y’s gyms and pools that
the organization is not simply a
practical alternative to the commercial fitness centers in their
vicinity.
“We have to communicate
with our Millennials, to ensure
they understand that they’re
part of a cause,” said
Washington, who is 61. “It’s our
responsibility to help educate
them about how they can be
helpful.”
Founded in Britain in 1844 by
Christian evangelicals, the
Young
Men’s
Christian
Association opened its first U.S.
branch in Boston in 1851 and
soon adopted as a goal “the
improvement of the spiritual,
mental, social and physical condition of young men.”
It established hotel-like residence halls, organized summer
camps, and oversaw the invention of volleyball and basketball.
During both world wars, it
deployed thousands of volunteers to provide services for U.S.
troops and war prisoners.
Barriers to participation fell
one by one — women and nonChristians were welcomed, and
in the 1960s the Y greatly
expanded inner-city operations.
In Kevin Washington’s South
Philly neighborhood, the Y of
that era was a hub of social
activity, and a counterpoint to
the area’s youth gangs.
“Everybody who was anybody
in the African-American community had an attachment to the
Y,” Washington recalled. “But
there were a lot folks in that
community who went on to the
other side ... Many of them
aren’t around anymore.”
At the Y, Washington pursued
his passion for basketball, first
as a scorekeeper, then as a player accomplished enough to win
an athletic scholarship at
Temple. As a freshman guard, in
the pre-shot-clock era, he was
involved in a memorable 11-6
loss to Tennessee as Temple
resorted to a game-long stall.

Black moms wonder if babies are still alive
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Eighteen
black women who were told
decades ago that their babies
had died soon after birth at a St.
Louis hospital now wonder if the
infants were taken away by hospital officials to be raised by
other families.
The suspicions arose from the
story of Zella Jackson Price,
who was 26 in 1965 when she
gave birth at Homer G. Phillips
Hospital in St. Louis. Hours
later, she was told that her
daughter had died, but she
never saw a body or a death certificate.
No one is sure who was
responsible, but Price’s daughter ended up in foster care, only
to resurface almost 50 years
later. Melanie Gilmore, who now
lives in Eugene, Oregon, has
said that her foster parents
always told her she was given
up by her birth mother.
Price’s
attorney,
Albert
Watkins, is asking city and state
officials to investigate. In a letter to Gov. Jay Nixon and St.
Louis Mayor Francis Slay,
Watkins said he suspects the
hospital coordinated a scheme
“to steal newborns of color for
marketing in private adoption
transactions.”
The women’s story spread in
recent weeks after Gilmore’s
children tracked down her birth
mother as part of a plan to mark
their mother’s 50th birthday.
The search led them to the now
76-year-old Price, who lives in
suburban St. Louis.
In March, an online video
caused a sensation when it
showed the moment that
Gilmore, who is deaf, learned
through lip reading and sign
language that her birth mother
had been found.
The two women reunited in
April. DNA confirmed that they
are mother and daughter.
“She looked like me,” said
Price, a gospel singer who has
five other children. “She was so
excited and full of joy. It was
just beautiful. I’ll never forget
that,” she said of the reunion.
After the reunion, Watkins
started getting calls from other
women who wondered if their
babies, whom they were told
had died, might have instead
been taken from them.
Their stories, he said, are
strikingly similar: Most of the
births were in the mid-1950s to
mid-1960s at Homer G. Phillips.
All of the mothers were black
and poor, mostly ages 15 to 20.
In each case, a nurse — not a
doctor — told the mother that
her child had died, a breach of
normal protocol. No death certificates were issued, and none
of the mothers were allowed to
see their deceased infants.
“These are moms,” Watkins
said. “They are mothers at the
end of their lives seeking
answers to a lifelong hole in
their heart.”
He plans to file a lawsuit
seeking birth and death records.
None of the women are seeking
money, he said.
Watkins has no idea who, or
how many people, may have
been responsible if babies were
being taken, though he believes
they were stolen and put up for
adoption in an era when there
were few adoption agencies
catering to black couples.
Homer G. Phillips Hospital
opened in 1937 as a blacks-only
hospital at a time when St.
Louis was segregated. Even
after desegregation in the mid1950s, the hospital served predominantly African-American
patients.
The hospital closed in 1979.

women who were told decades ago that their babies had died soon after birth at a St. Louis hospital now
wonder if the infants were taken away by hospital officials to be raised by other families. The suspicions
arose from the story of Price, who was 26 in 1965 when she gave birth at Homer G. Phillips Hospital and
was told hours later that her daughter had died.
Health Department were not
returned.
Price gave birth to a baby girl
born two months’ premature on
Nov. 25, 1965. The baby
weighed just over 2 pounds but
Price was able to hold the crying
child after birth.
A nurse took the baby away
and came back an hour later.
The little girl was struggling to
live, Price was told. She might
not make it.
Shortly thereafter, the nurse
came back. The baby, she said,
was dead.
Price recovered in the hospital
for two more days, in a ward
surrounded by happy mothers.
“It was depressing to see
when they rolled the babies in
and they were taking them to
their mothers, but I didn’t have
my baby,” she recalled.
Gussie Parker, 82, of St.
Louis, heard Price’s story and
was shocked by the similarities
with her own life. Parker gave
birth to a premature girl on Nov.
5, 1953.
Initially, she said, the child
seemed fine. A short time later,
a nurse told her that her daughter had died.
“I never did see the baby or
get a death certificate,” said
Parker, whose daughter, Diane,
works for The Associated Press
in New York. “When you’re
young and someone comes and
tells you that your baby’s dead,
in those days you accepted it.”
Otha Mae Brand, 63, of St.
Louis, was 15 when she gave
birth to a girl in the spring of
1967. The child was two
months’ premature and was
hospitalized for 10 days while
Brand was sent home.
She got a call from a nurse
who informed her of her daughter’s death.
“I had no reason not to believe
them,” Brand said. “I got that
phone call and that was the last
I heard.”
Now, she wonders.
“I told my children, ‘It’s a possibility your sister may be living,’” she said.
Retired
physician
Mary
Tillman was an intern and did a
residency at Homer G. Phillips
in the 1960s. Calls to her home
on Friday were unanswered, but
she told the St. Louis PostDispatch that the hospital had
protocols and record-keeping to
track mothers and daughters.
She never had any suspicions of
wrongdoing, but said it should
have been doctors, not nurses,
who broke the news of death to
mothers.
Price, who has five other children, said she’s saddened by
the lost years that she could
have spent with her daughter.
“For me not to be able to love
on this child like I did with the
others, I’m going through a lot
of emotions,” said Price. “But
I’m so blessed to know that she
is alive.”
